I block out time, set a timer and put everything away.

Then I read till the timer goes. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes I just stop and zone out. But I don't stop to check my phone or whatever else could distract me.
I have read this a thousand times and will do so thousand times more. I am always filled with that "damn how do you even fathom folks in this whole other 'plane' function" awe. It also makes me wonder if any project today at this level of "unpolish" would be anywhere close to take off.

Seems to match real-life thinking, too. For extreme case, see memorization: you learn a set of nodes in a graph, probably highly compressed through application of whatever tricks you use to quickly memorize and recall information. But by default, you learn almost no connections between those nodes, you can't really reason from the material you memorized. Building these connections requires further mental effort.
....the people in the study were not on a ketogenic diet. Ketosis vs. non-ketosis is a big step change. The central premise of keto re: fat is “fats are good....because they lead to ketosis”

What part of the employment agreement guarantees you “meaningfulness”? I know the parts that guarantee my pay & benefits.
Yeah theft is definitely an issue -- particularly at the light rail stations. I had my bike stolen in broad daylight underneath a security camera even while secured with a sizable cable lock. The responding SPD officer told me you need a beefy U-lock or it's going to get stolen eventually.
The current title I'm seeing is "Inside America’s Dysfunctional Trillion-Dollar Fighter-Jet Program" which seems misleading as well; it's more of a history of press releases. Doesn't look like they interviewed anyone actually working on it aside from the fellow in charge if that.
The issue really is the word ‘toxic’. It’s an intense label that shouldn’t be used so lightly, because we all present a lot of potentially toxic behaviours throughout our lives that, with the help and support of those around us, and our own awareness and resilience, we successfully nagivate through without issue.

The conditions that can be identified and diagnosed might have deeper roots so, yes, it’s better to take that to a professional than to hash it out on a forum. But it should not have been framed as being toxic - that just adds another layer of complexity to the situation.

>> I don't particularly care about meaningful work, I enjoy solving problems that matter and I'm good at it so I want to do that.

Isn't this the same thing? Meaningful is highly personal & contextual, so a problem that matters IMO definitely is meaningful.

Being good at something valaueable that you enjoy is one of the key measures of a life well lived for me, so kudos on that.
Eh, just assume "per amount of time" and it works.

Are actually Germans big savers? Living here for almost 10 years, I've NEVER found anyone saving money..the majority burn their salary month per month or burn their short 'savings' in more-than-they-could-afford vacations, like entire months in US or Australia.
She obviously didn't crash her bike.

-Bike appears undamaged (mirrors would be smashed at minimum)

-She says she injured her left side of her body, yet left side of he body appears dirty yet completely intact in photos despite the fact her skin was uncovered. Road rash destroys skin - I've seen pretty severe road rash from a fall from a skateboard.

I agree that strlcpy is braindamaged, but why in God's Green Earth isn't there a sensible replacement in stdlib in 2019? This shouldn't be that hard, yet the best alternative is I think snprintf, which is just so ugly. For a long time it wasn't used because compiler support was spotty, but it's been 20 years now so that shouldn't be a major issue anymore.
Regarding the cases where people in cars are yelling at you, are you riding slower than traffic in the car lane when this happens? Doing so defensively away from curb to avoid being door'ed but at the same time blocking cars from passing you?

Not agreeing with drivers, just guessing as this does attract a lot of driver rage.
What do you eat besides meat? Since meat has the lowest energy density, you most likely get your energy from other sources anyway. Even if you eat 500g / 1lb per day for a 2000kcal target, you would still get 1500kcal from other food.
There's enough people willing to pay $10/gram for legal weed, and limited enough supply, that there's no impetus to charge less. Why would they?

You could rent your furniture out I suppose. That's basically what we were doing with our savings, the bank can use the deposits to fund mortgages and we get some interest on our deposits from the returns on investment the bank made.
If someone is saving, someone must be spending. It's the basic law.

The "stupid" and "lazy" southern countries (PIIGS) will have to spend again (buy German cars) with German credit (German savings) to keep the German economy going.
> Also, I won't get into numbers about how much less.

They get into numbers in the second paragraph; up to 23% of lifetime earnings.

> The key metric would be, how many people act on this impulse.

We can get a rough tally of how many are acting on it from labor stats[1]. And I'm assuming all of these are what people view as "meaningful" work; I work in finance and find it plenty meaningful but I imagine that's a minority view.

Quoth the BLS:

Total employment: 144,733,270

Community and social service: 2,171,820

Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports, and Media Occupations: 1,951,170

Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations: 8,646,730

Healthcare Support Occupations: 4,117,450

Education, Training, and Library Occupations: 8,779,780

So if those broad areas hit the "meaningful" buttons, you're looking at about 17% of the workforce.

> What could be less meaningful then getting money for doing nothing?

Totally had that doing government contracting. The trouble is you realize it's a trap: if you ever need a real job your lack of doing anything means you're fucked.

> Yet, that's what a lot of people want, such as anyone who buys a lottery ticket.

More realistically, anyone who is investing passively. But that's not a job or your profession, and when people talk about "meaning" they're asking "who am I?" If you're a carpenter, your identity is wrapped up in the houses you build, for instance.

What the article is missing is the classic dichotomy of work to live vs. live to work.

If your profession is who you are, meaningful work is more important in shaping your identity.

But if it's not, the "work to live" paradigm, you're making money to support something else. If you're working to take care of your family, you're a father or a mother first. If you're working to support your art or projects, you're an artist or an engineer regardless of your paid job title.

The adjective liber in Latin is what the slaves are not, that is, "unrestricted [people]". The root 'lewdh-, from which it comes, is also in Leute and ljudi (people). Liberty today seems to be often used to mean unrestrictedness of capital/property/contracts, so the connection I see with its semantic history is the idea that some people can be more people than others, and that the government should be strong enough to deter anyone from threatening this state of liberty (e.g. back then by fleeing from slavery, now by ... well the list is too long). Remember the words of Laozi, long and short give rise to each other.
Seattle is improving the normal transport service, too. They are tearing up streets and putting in trains, they are eliminating parking(!) in favor of places to hang out. Seattle is becoming fantastically more car-hostile by the day. Seriously, the last time I visited one street had eliminated street parking in favor of a protected bike lane, potted plants and some chairs.

Also a good friend isn’t going to use the word toxic. They might say you’re being a dick or an asshole about something, and give a gentle nudge within the boundaries of that friendship, but ‘toxic’ is the kind of thing you put out there when you’re breaking the friendship off. At that point the toxic person ignored every opportunity to change, even make a small effort, and either refused to or doubled down on their act.
Interesting association: France is the single country with the highest saturated fat intake in Europe and the lowest rate of CHD deaths.
From the article: "The country’s savings rate was around 10% in 2017, almost twice the euro-area average ... On average, Germans held more than 40% of their financial assets in the form of bank deposits in 2018."

It's usually perilous to extrapolate anecdotes to the population.
I'm wondering why some German banks don't do something like that? Currency risk, maybe?

Yeah. And an important consequence is that there is a natural cap on how low rates go, as banks put their vaults to use.

Also with inflation the real rate of sub-percent interest is already negative, so a below-zero rate is more psychological than anything. The difference between inflation and inflation+1 isn't transformative.
That was entirely my bad. I was moving a few things around.
I think that question inherently requires us to identify some subjectively fuzzy definitions for what are "why questions".

It would be similar to how we have been adjusting our definition of what it means to feel pain. (particularly in the context of claims that entire animal species do not feel it, so there are no qualms about preparing them as food in ways that would be considered inhumanely cruel with others - see lobsters, crabs)

Chimps recognize themselves in the mirror. So they have some theory of mind.

Dogs don't, but unlike chimps, can follow pointing directions. So they have some theory of OUR mind.

My dog is stubborn and doesn't follow some directions right away. I will sometimes see her pause, consider, and ignore the command. If I then remind her in a generic way that I am serious (like a stern generic "hey"), she will then come back and do the command. So it's more complex than a direct cause and effect.

That also sounds like a "why" question that has gone through her head...

But what people forget is it is not just "evil big corp" that has cash on hand which will be devalued in such a way. Individuals do too. Pension plans do. All those will also lose out. Why is there some bureaucrat in an office deciding how much my money gains or loses today? Maybe it would be better to go back to the gold standard.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but for sake of argument I think one difference between corporations and social institutions is that no one owns social institutions.
"Dietary intakes of dairy products for 136 384 individuals were recorded using country-specific validated food frequency questionnaires."

These questionnaires are not very good methodology. This is why you get so many contradicting dietary recommendations. Dietary studies tend to rely on them because they are the cheapest option. But they make okay headlines.
I really want to build a thing or two with it, but my problem is that I’m too impatient to actually learn it first.

I imagine you could build a pretty effective scheduling/booking system with it, for example, and without knowing better I would think that it’s less complicated than what you have to do to build that kind of thing imperatively.

At the same time, I like declarative code and it makes me think of SQL. I’m pretty glad I picked that up before ORMs gave people a reason not to learn it. I would likely have that same impatience to learn SQL now, had I not.

For your average retail bank customer you’d be lucky to get anything on your savings as is for the last 10 years. I’m speaking from the US bank perspective, but I imagine it has been the same or worse in Germany.

The saving grace in the US is the somewhat recent trend of online banks offering around 2%. I don’t know if other developed countries in the Eurozone have similar offerings.

Also fwiw, I rode daily all over Seattle for several years and had this happen to me exactly zero times. I've never met someone who, unprovoked, would yell at or menace a cyclist and have a hard time imagining someone who would except a rare crazy or 16yr old idiot trying to impress his friends. I have however talked to many people who are driven nuts by cyclists who obstruct traffic (in their opinion)
Don’t forget bike parking. I don’t trust locking up my bike on the street in Seattle; I’ve known people who’ve had bikes stolen out of “secured” parking rooms. And there aren’t too many places to chain a bike either.
Israel, while 'ratified' by the UN, created itself from force by defeating the surrounding opponents who tried to stop it from existing, continued to do so throughout its history with multiple wars against coalitions of enemies, and continues to develop its military deterrents today.

A handful of UN dopes sitting on the Golan Heights who have to run to Israel for safety when actual trouble from the region affects them do not deter anyone.

The UN recognition is nice, but israel would exist without it.
Prescribed burns work. Agreed. It's a partial solution we already know about.

This is mostly only true for the tech bubble. Living in Europe, I felt like most people just went in to work to do 'a job'. The notion of it being their company, that they had an integral role in making something, that notion was absent.

Obviously it frustrated me quite a bit, but perhaps that allows them to dissociate themselves from the job and make it less of their identity.

Actually, it is.

I'm in my fourth decade of technical activity. I'm leveraging skills and tools I learned in my first day using Unix, in the mid-1980s.

Over the same time, I've gained, and obsoleted, skills on CPM, MacOS, VM/CMS, MVS, VMS, DOS, Windows 3x, WinNT, and classic Macintosh.

Yes, there are a few flavours of Unix -- BSD, SysV4, Solaris, HPUX, Irix, AIX, FreeBSD, and numerous Linux flavours. Those, and even OSX/MacOS share far more in common than all the other platforms.

Unix knowlege has proved extraordinarily durable, as have the tools. Though there are new utilities and environments coming out frequently, old standards remain available and still work. I'm not forced onto that treadmill, most especially not for my personal work.

GRRM still uses Wordstar. Works for him.

(That's ... one of the editors I've used as well, though I vastly prefer vim these days -- one of those "first day on Unix" skillsets I'm still earning dividends on.)
It's the first time I hear about this new credo. Source?
The problem isn't exactly reentry. It's that the function, having already exited, has modified global state, and it needs the same state to be there on the next call. If another call is interleaved (another callee with its own strtok loop) then the state is overwritten with the inner loop, and your own next call won't have its expected contents.

Whereas with a term like reentry I think of two strtok frames on the stack at the same time, which is not possible.

I think it's a bit easier to conceptualize with a function that produces a simple return value in a static buffer. Take getpwnam(). It fills a global structure with info about a given user. So you may keep a pointer to that on your stack. Then you call some other function foo(). foo looks up another user. Suddenly you can't rely on that other call to getpwnam() not having overwritten the data in the result you got back the first time.
Blockchains for non-cryptocurrency applications don't make sense
For floatplanes, you can nix some of those requirements.
Might as well just use strtok_r everywhere and not worry about if you're using strok safely or not.

Do you think it would be fair to say that corporate capitalism has also taught us painful lessons that we forgot from the past?
Banks are not storing money. Banks lend money. They store only some ridiculusly small amount (something like 5%?) and lend everythig else. So in case everyone wants to get they money back bank goes bankrupt, because they don't have that money. They would need to force on moment notice that money out of people they lend it to.
Unhappy Germans is not, historically speaking, a recipe for world happiness.
I just don't agree with this viewpoint at all. There are plenty of profitable startups directly focused on education and the environment. Maybe you don't agree with their definition of meaningful but don't let perfect be the mortal enemy of better.

whatever meaningful means to you should be a highly personal measure, not the classic, obvious societal ones. It also helps if the macro-benefit of the act is a symptom of the behaviour vs. the goal. example: I ride a bike to work everyday because it's fun, good for me and cheaper than driving. I dn'to it primarily because it's good for the planet, but hey, it's a nice bonus. We need to look for lots of opportunities that do good for others as a consequence of doing well for ourselves, not a subsistute.
Yeah, the modern insult “toxic” is pretty interesting. It’s become a meta meme that supersedes the original meaning of the word. I’m pretty sure that the term toxic workplace predates, quite much, the more contemporary, gamer use of the word toxic.

The comment reads:

That

is simply untrue. Had that been the case, I’m sure everyone would agree it was patronising.

However it does not say "you can edit Wikipedia," more like "if you think there is a problem, you are free to fix the problem."

Indeed English can be ambiguous, but I do not think that can be interpreted as patronizing.
I wonder about this every time I read C.

There is talk about npm/rust having massive dependency trees (and they do) because it makes taking on dependencies too easy. But I feel like C is on the opposite side of the spectrum, where managing dependencies is difficult so every C code base is rolling it’s own version of everything.

C also has an expansive standard library but it hasn’t offset re-invention of that stdlib in the ecosystem. I just see those implementations trapped inside code bases that don’t export them in a consumable way for other projects...

Personally I love writing C but rarely do because dependency management makes innovation in those code bases so time consuming for me.

As someone living in Tucson, and having to go through these Border Patrol checkpoints, it does feel like they've gotten more aggressive over time. The last time I went through a checkpoint, they didn't even ask about citizenship, just wanted to run their dog over the car sniffing for drugs, which I feel is a 4th amendment violation, even though the supreme court probably disagrees.

I'm not sure if they have any legal recourse, but I'd love to hear a lawyer chime in. IANAL.
