> We still do get single use plastics for meat sales, and I reuse them as my bathroom bin-liners, so still have double duty without the dozens of other pointless plastic bags per trip

I may use fewer carrier bags - but I use a hell of a lot more black bin liners over a given time period - and that is a lot more plastic.
Back when I was younger I bought about $1500 in furniture from Art Van on credit, and did not pay it all off within the 18 or 24 months

Then I got smashed with a HUGE interest charge, they charge you ALL of the interest from the 18/24 months at the end of that time if you have a blance

I buy $300 couches from the clearance center now, in cash.
As I mentioned, all of their products were being marketed as being for "sensitive skin". Eg. a skin that turns red and/or itches after you shave with a very sharp razor: I would generally expect that almost everyone's skin behaves like this. So by saying "sensitive", they were attempting to manipulate me into thinking how my (and everybody else's) skin is sensitive so I need their "special" products.
You must not live in a place with a lot of rodents. Cats are regularly employed to help keep them out of your house. This goes for the city and country. Cats are super useful in New York for instance.

I agree it's on them to get it right. It just seem extenuating circumstances at least played a roll. I think I quoted the wrong part of the BR - it was adjacent to the large amount of users part - but was more along the lines of negatively impacting safety or security or somesuch.
This. Also, bold is shouting, in some circles.

My 'go to' example, when explaining the power of brevity to others, is Hemingway's reputed resignation to his publisher. Vulgar, but a study in brevity: "Upshove Job Asswards".

My second example is also Hemingway, this time from a wager to write a story in 6 words. Hemingway won the wager: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_sale:_baby_shoes,_never_wo...

Lifetime usage of psychedelics correlates to increase in nature relatedness:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28631526

Anecdotally, 3 of my friends and myself (sample=4) all have self-reported significant improvements in empathy, as well as verified confirmation by our romantic partners. This has also led to objective changes such as volunteering, random acts of kindness, increased gratitude and altruism, and more.

There are also studies on terminally ill showing dramatic decreases in anxiety and depression:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5367557/

I don't know if you've ever suffered from either of these, but I can assure you, severely depressed or anxious people are not overly empathetic as they are ruminating and caught in their own minds more than being interested in others (overactive default mode network).

In short... there are numerous scientific studies confirming the benefits of these drugs. I fail to see any "overrated" potential after studying these molecules myself for years for experientially and academically.
He's rather saying that in the asymmetric wars of the last decades the carrier did its job, and will continue to do so. However facing a symmetric opponent, whether its likely to happen or not, means that carriers aren't as useful, at least until you've ensured that you have accounted for all their subs as well as high speed missiles and rockets.
It has clearer instructions for sure, but you got the icons right (at least for Instagram, the borders are rounded). It's enough to make me use it! Because the ones from detoxyfy are pure square on my home screen, and just because of that I know there's something wrong and I don't tap. Plus on yours I still get stats after 2 openings ;-)
If you are on a team, and you know you need time & space to think things through, they should know it too (from you). It's your job to tell them, no? Then they either respect that and give you time when you need it, or don't. If they do, no issue. If they don't, they are going to go around you anyway whether you like it or not... just how work works.

It's as though the ratio and process of blending those ingredients together can't possibly produce a different result...

Sorbet, Sherbet, "Italian Ice" and "Water Ice" (as experienced in Philly) are not all the same thing.

Also, sherbet contains dairy, none of these others do.
As an American working with Europeans I've found that there is often a different tone in communication used. It seems to me Europeans are often more direct in their conversation (which in email may sound rude). It took me a while to figure out why Europeans were being rude to me via email (they weren't). After some time a pattern emerged and looking up the issue made it clear that this is just how the cultures differ in communication.
> Nope, this would be to move to London.

Ah ok, that makes a lot more sense then.

> So, this would be a developer with ten years experience looking for essentially "any" developer role in London.

Really? So you have been working in Bristol as a developer for 10 years but can't manage to get a job in London? Thats mad. At what stage to you get rejected? i.e. CV rejected, initial phonecall or in person interview? Do they give you any reasons?
Ancient Hawaiians also constructed the largest primitive rock quarry in the world near the summit of Mauna Kea (https://www.nps.gov/places/mauna-kea-adz-quarry.htm), to mine dense rock for stone tools. So it's hard to believe that pre-contact Native Hawaiians believed that the summit of Mauna Kea was too sacred to build near (the TMT would be further below the summit than most of the existing telescopes [only the VLBA antenna would be lower]).
Ban nylon ties and get the Velcro ones. They’re as fast as using nylon ties, are reusable, and are soft and wide enough to save the insulation.
I wouldn't compare the paperwork involved in a mortgage to the fairly simple rental applications I've seen.
As a former candidate now turned software engineer and interviewer, I seriously like your story and it does reflect the sad state of the tech industry's hiring process. When I need to find candidates, I usually ignore degrees or hello world based projects, but I ask for either original work or open-source contributions or features added into another project. As with your own project, I don't need to throw a test at you if you dealing with a project with advanced data structures like CRDTs, which I'm sure you already know to apply them well.

Unfortunately, this industry tends to believe that implementing something like a R*-Tree or a Van-Embe-Boas Tree in less than 10 mins is an indicator of being qualified for a CRUD application-level job. If I were hiring right now, I would preferably take on more candidates that have open-source contributions over leetcoders because with open-source, you can obviously code, use version control, do code reviews and as a bonus, you can show your work at a meetup / conference. Leetcode/Hackerrank/Codility doesn't allow you to showcase your optimal solutions and even if you attempt to, you risk breaching their plagiarism rules. So those platforms don't allow you to showcase those soft skills.

Your experience alone tells me you are already qualified for senior roles that these companies are 'struggling' to fill.
Steam has free to play where a drm enabled game is available for free to play for a weekend. I imagine the other download clients offer the same format as well.
Even though I think that wouldn't persuade the protesters, it's an interesting point to make.
If you go to the github [0] linked in the article, it tells you how to create your own using Apple's Configurator application [1].

Interesting. May I ask -- what are the written comments responding to? A question? A problem statement? Is it a full forum-style thread/discussion (with message-response-response...response) or is it a 1-shot style comment from anyone who had something to say before a meeting?
This is one of the benefits of the Amazon writing practice; write up a one-pager on a topic and have a meeting where the first 10-15 minutes are reading the document. Then have a discussion. It's a good way to get to a consensus and it's respectful of everyone's time.
Trains do have the advantage that they don't have to deal with road congestion. Since buses have to use the same streets as cars unless there are bus only lanes it's pretty much always going to be faster to drive than to take a bus because the bus probably won't be doing directly to your destination and will be making stops where you won't in your car.

You sure it's not just being around young people. The prefrontal cortex doesn't mature until late 20s, so people are more impulsive and selfish.

The 30+ crowd in Ayahuasca/Psychedelics have been some of the kindest, most giving people I have ever met in my life.
That's being incredibly generous too.

That seems extremely interesting to me! Would you care to tell any details about that or is it covered by NDA? I'm guessing that's something HFT related?
Not sure why you're getting down voted. As part of our stand procedure we have to file down zip ties because it caused too many issues with damaging cables - and having been sliced while inspecting a unit, the fact they are now all nice and smooth is fine by me.
The parent meant inflation adjusted. $50 US 20 years ago are equivalent to almost $80 today, but game prices have not increased at the same rate (they mostly stayed the same nominal price at launch but sales and heavy discounts are much more common).
Now someone just needs to port the BoBaFeTT trainer(s) and the anti-hacks, anti-anti hacks, etc. Can’t wait to see people shooting arrows from their swords, getting PKed in town (and the town being covered in infinite fire and portals), level 1 loincloth guys suddenly equipping King's Sword of Haste and Godly Plate of the Mammoth when a duel starts etc.
All I can tell you is what I've seen as an internal resource, internal manager, consultant, and external vendor over 30 years.

It can and does work. It's not a replacement for meetings (there's no one-size-fits-all in communication), but it is super useful and super effective if used correctly. I'm sorry your job has convinced you otherwise.
This or similar type of lacing is practicioned in some Bondage suspensions. The end knots may differ, but the way to secure the loose end to the hanging support ropes is often done this way because it is fast and allows a gradual release, which is important to stay in control and not be surprised.

Please, if you want to try suspensions, practice first, and read up about rope techniques and medical topics, like nerve positions, nerve function testing, and nerve damage.

My best guess — if one considers that Fox News is quite the poster child of climate change denial/dismissal/minimization, and that they have quite a strong observable record of promoting attacks on just about any mention of human-influenced climate change/warming with snowballs in Congress and other seemingly silly arguments about how the earth has had ice ages and warm periods and everything that's happening now is natural, one might find reason to suspect a piece published by an entity controlled by the same entity that controls Fox News that seems to push a similar narrative—nature isn't static, climate change is natural, systems change over time, it never stays the same, the present state of change is not our fault ... ergo, don't worry about it!

</tinfoil_hat>

Again, that's my best guess at what the parent was attempting to imply. I'd imagine they see it's a bit like how Sinclair Media forces these opinion pieces to be delivered by "trusted" local news anchors/personalities, all obviously engineered to manufacture and spread a certain political POV to a local audience, even though it's not actually local opinion in any way—it's simply a piece forced down on subsidiaries by a controlling parent company.

Futex: Implement mechanism to wait on any of several futexes
I still use perl for handy one liners on the command line. E.g. I had a 1 GB log file where I wanted to generate a histogram of the intervals between certain log messages. I used a perl one-liner to extract the timestamp via regex (regexs are perl's bread and butter), calculate the diff between the previous timestamp (easy because of auto string => double conversion), use the diff value as a key in a hash of counters (autovivification really handy here), then print the hash at the end with sorted keys using the Data::Dumper module. Took me all of 5 minutes to write. I don't write Perl often but I am thankful that it exists.
You and I are thinking about this totally differently. Humans and their activities can create new variables, but nature will adjust to that. We are an inseparable part of nature. So are our activities.
Kevlar gloves are cheap [0]. I use them in the kitchen for chopping and for hot metal work in the studio. Although steel is a poor heat conductor, when blacksmithing I can hold the steel closer to the red-hot area and longer when wearing these gloves. Cowboys also use them for calf roping to prevent rope burns; I used to buy kevlar gloves at farm and ranch stores before Amazon carried them.

PrEP has negative side effects (besides being quite expensive for the state), condoms on the other side, don't have side effects, and are cheap.

It's a matter of having some sense of personal responsibility really.
It also significantly diversifies the economy. Tourism is cyclical. Astronomy research may have booms and busts too, but they are apt to be uncorrelated with the ups and downs of tourism.
Maybe it's just a bad example in the article. It seems like a regular conversation between a group of people to get things done in an organization. At least in our organization that type of conversation happens in a quick meeting or some collaboration app link Slack or Microsoft Teams, formal composition of messages is not necessary in those kinds of platforms. Email seems to be an overkill for stuff like this ...
It is sometimes used for places and people but now that you mention it I can only really think of examples of it being used for slightly negative references. I would say there’s usually some contempt behind it.

Place: “I have to go to that DMV jawn and renew my license.”

People: “Them TSA jawn opened my bag.”

Person: “She’s my ex jawn.”

It can also be used to refer to women or a woman in a belittling way. Somewhat similar to “bitch.”

For example: “That jawn is clingy.” or “Them jawns be crazy.”

I'm very happy for every web port. Old games, old OSes emulated, old apps. Please, port / emulate everything! I've recently bought one of my childhood games (Pharaoh, released 1999) from GOG and struggled for hours to run it in Windows without errors and glitches. Eventually had to give up.

I'm quite confident that JavaScript/Web runtime will be sufficiently maintained for decades to come -- HTML websites from early 2000s run the same now as they did 20 years ago. The same can't be said for Windows runtimes.

So please, port everything you can to Web. It's the best way to preserve old stuff.

This is literally the only recommendation engine I've ever had any success with. IIRC it was written by someone on HN
I try to keep most emails short: (Approximately) 3 sentences, broken into 3 paragraphs.

That's most peoples' attention span for email.

I only write longer emails when someone asks me a question; such as when a manager asks me to research and root cause something. Even then, I usually try to follow the 3-line rule, then put a ----, and then the longer email.

BTW: When I get a very loooong email, sent directly to me, I don't read it. I will usually reply with something like, "I don't read long emails" and suggest that the author find time to meet with me directly.
Wow, do I ever disagree with the author. Yes, those German guys didn't actually disturb anybody, but that's only because they were the _only_ ones brewing coffee in the middle of the street. How is it that so many people are unable to mentally extrapolate from "one person doing something" to "hundreds or thousands of people doing something"?

I think Japan might actually be different in regards to music performances. I know folks from a few lesser-known punk bands, the kind that might get 50 or so folks at a typical club show on a good night in the US, that did tours in Japan. They described the same kind of reverence at their shows in Japan, and punk isn't exactly known for reverent crowds. This was 10 to 15 years back, so things may be different now?
Well, maybe you should add: ... and change the subject :)
After doing design for so long I just didn’t feel excited about what I was doing day-to-day nor did I find the discussions in the industry that interesting.

But I never really got tired of programming and at this point in my life the latter meshes better with what I’m interested in – privacy, encryption, hardening or subverting systems, etc. – than the former. I also get to reapply knowledge that was abstracted away while I predominantly did front-end development.
For those that are interested in this, you must checkout:

> I'm also confused, how does someone coming up to talk to you forces you to write anything down?? (seriously I don't get that part :) )

Agree with the rest of your post, but this was the main takeaway for me. If you compulsively take notes one every single face to face interaction, that's not my problem.
I don't understand this viewpoint.

Do you really think there should be zero protections for creative works? That authors who spend years writing a book shouldn't be able to sell it?† How many movies would get created in such a world? How many software developers would exist?

I am all for reducing protections of intellectual property. I think copyright should expire after a few decades at most, with much broader and more powerful fair use exemptions in the interim. But eliminating copyright completely? I think that would severely limit the amount of artistic output in the world.

---

† I recognize that authors would still technically be able to sell their books in a world without copyright. However, they would have to compete with others who just copied and pasted their text, which amounts to the same thing.

Guess I missed the part where the telescope commits genocide..

To have discourse both parties have to be capable of rational discussion. Raving about religious nonsense is a terrible argument. If there's a better one by all means lets discuss it. Frankly the argument against putting a telescope here amounts to little more than a tantrum from a toddler.

But "has" isn't a predicate. "Has" is a relation. If we take "has an item" an "has a price" and "has an order" to be predicates, then we already have three predicates. So that can't be the definition of predicate.
