Ah, I understand. You're referring to how iterators in C++ are generalized indices into their collections. Certainly, Rust iterators have a more constrained purpose.

I personally prefer having separate constructs for iteration and indexing, so I think it's a matter of taste.
This is the dumbest thing in the universe (in context of a Clojure discussion) that I keep seeing parroted over and over. So you have to type "recur <args>" instead of the actual function name + <args> for the exact same effect. If you can get over that aesthetic "sin" then you have your TCO in effect. I don't even find it mildly inconvenient...and even prefer the "shortcut" syntax vs explicitly repeating my function name.
As a fellow vegetarian, I agree with not liking non-meat meat products that are too close. But, my transition was a long one. My family was very much carnosaur. I was told that I need to "expand my horizons," which meant eating new and different types of animals. (I not many that I haven't tried.) When I met my wife to be, who was vegan, that made me rethink my diet. She introduced me to many new cuisines, notably Indian and Thai, that feature dishes not based around meat.

At first, it was deciding what new vegetarian things to try, and what choices I was going to give up. I've come to realize that a lot of people identify with food. For some, it's a family thing to have a big burger. For others, whatever non-meat products they have had gave bad experiences. I can't tell you how many people I've met who say tofu is horrible. To be fair, most places or people have no clue properly prepare it; thus, the very idea of a non-meat substitute is killed.

I've tried the burger. It's impressively too close to the real thing for me to want to eat them. Yet, it is my hope that the impossible burger will be one of many avenues for people to make a transition to a more sustainable, ethical and healthier diet. In turn, I hope it ups the game for other companies to look at vegetarian options that are prepared well.

> I got my first credit card when I was 17

When I was 16 I, unsolicited, got a preapproved Nordstrom's Card offer. Not surprising to me since I'd been sending off for high fashion catalogs since I was very interested in the sartorial arts (in addition to computing). I accepted the card, they sent it, and I started using it. Mostly at the discount Rack, but also at the main store when they had clearances. It wasn't any more costly than any other discount place or thrift store but was of vastly better quality and the personalized service was simply exquisite.

I paid the bill off each month without delay. This offer was followed then by a Neiman Marcus card, and countless other luxury brand cards. None back then wanted a SSN or credit check. They knew I had good taste. Sending those cards to me was a smart move. I still like these stores. My career as a fashion designer was very short lived though. Sad. I do OK as a developer.
What everybody else said, but including vaccinations are good but not perfect. If you give 1000 people the vaccine you're not going to see 1000 people now immune to the disease. You need "herd immunity" to help the people who've had the vaccine but who are not immune.
That car is bananas, so fun to drive. I had the 2013 e92 m3 competition but very similar. Incredible luxury, 3.9 second 0-60 that literally slammed your head back into the seat producing a stupidly happy grin.

The best part of that car was the handling/suspension and the stereo though. You could put it in M Dynamic Mode, which let you do controlled drifts. Shredded tires, but goodness it was fun to drift corners everywhere.

The sound system was the best I've ever heard, far better than a custom $4,000 system. 800 watts, a 10 inch sub under both front seats. That car was the closest thing to perfection I've personally ever driven. Its only real flaw was it didn't have quite enough low end torque ( 300 lb ft ) because it was a naturally aspirated v8. Plus you had to really baby the throttle on the low end so the tires wouldn't start sliding around when you accelerated from a stop.

I had literally 0 problems with it in three years outside of the stupid Takata airbag recall, which is why I didn't keep it. But you can't blame that on bmw. Plus I mean I spent a lot on tires, but that's on me :-)

At the time I test drove a comparable tesla and thought it accelerated really slow and had poor handling. Also it didn't even have a backup camera, decent stereo, or integration with popular music streaming services. But I hear they have gotten better.

For me the big benefit of the tesla is that you can shave 15-20 minutes off your commute by using the carpool lane and still have a decent car. Plus you are doing something to offset climate change.

Honestly I see no reason to eat this stuff ever unless I'm in a pinch. If I want a burger I'm not wanting something that looks or smells like meat just something with the same form factor as a burger.

You would be surprised by how big the entry barrier is when you have to use a mailing list to do anything.

Just as an example, when inkscape project migrated to GitLab [1] , I've noticed something that was not optimal in their CI definition and contributed a change right away. In a "mailing list" based development, that CI script would not be visible. Most projects even hide their internal tooling.

Also, unless you were born in a certain age and had access to internet since X, there is a good chance you never have been exposed to Mailman or how the mailing list flow works.

I'm very curious about people in your camp -- those that don't like attempts to replicate meat, but do like the "patty" food format. How do you usually eat your meat replacements? On a sandwich? Chopped up? A mix? Since it seems like they are all frozen (but maybe I'm wrong here?), is a big part of the draw convenience? Is protein content a factor in your decision at all?

I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan, personally. I'm a hunter, a fisherman, and I buy beef by the half cow from a small ranch. All of that said, if Burger King is selling some food products and marketing them as vegetarian or vegan, but they are being cooked in animal grease, and surely that is what this means, well, then they're either stupid, they're liars, or they're hopelessly incompetent. And you see this sort of tone deaf nonsense coming out of corporations time and time again.

There's a saying that money magnifies who you already are. It's an important thought, even if it's not 100% accurate. If you know how to be happy, money can enable you to make yourself - and others around you - happy. If you're better at being angry or sad or anxious, money can make you miserable. That's a lot of people, perhaps including me. Having money and improving yourself are basically two separate efforts.

Given all that, it's pretty predictable what "jerk" plus "money" will add up to.

For my martial arts and meditation practice, I:

1. Established a daily routine which I do without fail

2. I used and still use a timer app that includes a streak calendar

3. I established the "normal" practice length, a stretch goal, and a "token effort"

Once the routine and habit is established, it was easier to keep it going. The "token effort" is the trivial amount of time one practices just to keep the effort going. The stretch goal is there to acknowledge you did more than expected, but also to regulate not going overboard one day to the point where you do not want to continue for the next.

There are some psychological nuances into this.

All the research, what I am going to do, etc. feeds into the practice. The practice itself changes over time.

I have been doing this seven years now, starting with sitting meditation all the way through rebooting my martial arts training involving rebuilding every aspect of how I move my body.

My initial practice all those years ago was a 5 minute practice, 10 minute stretch goal, and a 1 minute token practice. Funny thing about the token practice is that 1 min seemed even ridiculous to me, but on those days where it got hard to get started, 1 min was still just easy enough (so I thought) to try. Sometimes, 1 min passes and I find myself going on for the next minute.

There was at one point, I was doing around 1 - 3 hours of practice every day, until life changed again and I did not have as much time for that anymore.
What are you favorite meat replacements that don't try replicate meat? I'd be interested in trying some :-D
The author makes a very crucial point about legacy code — it's often simply code that's old. No addendums added. Standards and conventions change over time, especially so in, say, modern web development, and it's in everyone's best interest to practice empathy when interfacing with it.

Even more so when the code really isn't a good match to the standards at that point in time — there's a lot of context missing (deadlines, meetings, management and more) and code only shows a single aspect of a project.
There are lots of alternatives for Jenkins as a CI builder but I haven't found many for Jenkins as a web-based cron with a nice UI that keeps track of history, has tons of options for notifications on failures, and quickly allows re-building (even with user-supplied parameters!)

We use Jenkins for running backup jobs, periodically updating data, and building quick little jobs for support staff to run--infrequently enough that they don't warrant adding to our admin app but frequently enough that bothering at developer adds up.

These are classic ADHD symptoms, along with some of the other tells I've gotten from your description. The number one way to improve ADHD symptoms, by an enormous margin, is through stimulant therapy. If this kind of pattern happened a lot in childhood, and you have a history of other related issues (losing homework, procrastination until deadlines, high caffeine use), then I'd highly suggest scheduling a meeting with your mental health provider about this and getting a diagnosis.

And again, it's quite hard to overstate how effective stimulant therapy is for treating ADHD. It's the most effective mental health intervention. For me personally, it makes a night-and-day difference.

Are there other examples where employee #1000 still made $20M? That requires a $200B exit which... have any other startups gotten to?

Most exits would be less than Dropbox ($10B). Say it's 10% of it, a $1B exit, which is extremely respectable. But as employee 100, you get $1Million. That probably requires 4 years at the company to fully vest. Assuming you were paid $150k/year, your total compensation is $1.6Million (pre-tax). Assuming you spent the same time at FB, you can probably pull in an average of $300k per year, depending on which level you start at [0]. So your best alternate path has a return of $1.2million.

You beat the FB route if you are the first 100 employees, vest most or all of your shares, and your company exits at $1B and above. I'm not sure what chance of that happening is, but it's probably lower than 75%, so the expected value of the startup route as an employee is lower than $1.2Million. Of course, FB route doesn't have a 100% chance of happening either, but it's a lot closer to 100% than the startup route.

While it's a great book, I think it's very intimidating for a newcomer to the field.

Humphreys (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/reflection-groups-and-c...) or Grove and Benson (https://www.springer.com/us/book/9780387960821) is probably a better introduction.

> They eat grass, distress the soil and leave their fertilizer behind. The grass regrows, which captures carbon via photosynthesis.

I think the equation is a lot more complicated than that. For instance, did you know that the vast majority of weight that your body regularly sheds is due to the carbon you breathe out? The average human breathes out around 2.3 lbs of C02 per day. That increases a lot when you're engaging in physical exertion.

I'm guessing that the same holds true for cows, but the poundage is going to be a lot higher because their body mass is a lot larger. Cows (and people) have to eat as much they shed in order to avoid wasting away, and most of that is carbon.

I would expect that a fully grown cow is essentially carbon neutral, not carbon-absorbing, if you're just looking at the dietary cycle.
Don't disagree about the process control but is 200kcal/$1 really the best you can do? I mean obviously you can buy something in bulk and beat that but it's less interesting than if you only had $2.

Okay so research results:

* A 2 pack of Hot Pockets is $2 and 640kcal.

* Two banquet turkey pot pies are 640kcal for $1.80.

* Cheating somewhat because the ratio is amazing Kroger brand pizza rolls are 1467kcal for $2.77.

* Found a vegetarian option! Totino's Triple Cheese Party Pizza is 700kcal for $1.34.

Hot Pockets are kinda sandwiches I suppose.
Their economic model can be clear and simple even if it isn't profitable. At it's core, the model is:

a) buy or rent commercial real estate

b) rent that same real estate out to people who want office space

As long as the money coming in from b is sufficiently greater than the money being spent on a, you should be good.

As far as profitability, the company is making investments now that will pay back over time. Since they are growing quickly, you'd expect them to take a loss since they have to make upfront investments in new offices (and on real estate, which they seem to be getting into the business of purchasing outright rather than taking out long term leases).

I'd say probably a lot depending on just how much they move the containers around. For an off the cuff calculation considering just the wear from containers we can take the support pads as being 6 inches (larger than real life) there's ~78 pad lengths between it and the far end pad that are untouched in an unmoving stack and if we move it sideways as well there's ~14 so that's just shy of 1100 spots each pad could rest that aren't used under a static container stack. This does ignore the wear from the tires of the movers but it's a quick illustration of all the space underneath the containers that can be wasted.
> but the C++ type system gives you no way to create an object with lifetimes that don't correspond to some scope.

Counterexample: a data member of a class has a lifetime tied to the lifetime of the containing object instance, rather than to a lexical scope.

> Genuine question: Is telling people to commit suicide protected free speech?

Telling people in general that they should is protected; telling a particular person that they should may or may not be depending on other factors.

> AVers aren’t much different here.

They are quite a bit different. Yes, not vaccinated increase risk of infection, sickness, and death for both the person choosing that action and other people, but it is a much less proximate relationship to any death than suicide does. Advocating suicide is not itself generally illegal, and advocating courses of action that are not intended to cause death but do in fact increase its likelihood is even less likely to be illegal in general.
