A lot of times in those instances the guys are only there for the peak hours or when the site is active. The light lets them leave the site with only the single lane open and not require overnight staffing.

Some of the reasons are:

- When the site is active they often have a need to hold traffic or otherwise alter the traffic pattern to move equipment around. An excavator swinging an arm through the travel lane, loading a dump truck with debris that might fly around a bit, etc.

- The two guys are more efficient than the portable light at moving traffic volumes, since they can extend/shorten cycles as they see fit, and don't have to add in a big extra margin for the last, slowest possible vehicle to get through the work zone. They can see when it's cleared and let traffic through the other direction immediately.
Current top question "Where does a baby's soul come from?". Actually I really want to know the answer to that now!

Do pension funds rely on a growing population in order to sustain themselves? I wonder whether they'll see a resurgence as the baby boomers die off and the age distribution in the U.S. becomes more uniform, or if these sorts of plans are a thing of the past.

No, not everyone is in their own bubble. Some are able to be objective, and profit from being so.

There is room for reasoned debate but many are incapable of it, especially on an internet forum.
Well isn’t that fortunate, seeing as aluminium is only the third most common element in the Earth’s crust and so everywhere you go you’re already exposed to it every day of your life; in the food you eat, in the dust you breathe, in the cuts on your knees from playing in the dirt like a regular child. And, just like every other element/compound (cyanide, lead, water, oxygen, and so on) which your body encounters, Al will have toxic effects at sufficiently high levels, so evolution has developed numerous mechanisms for excreting it before it ever reaches harmful levels.

Ironically, Al is added to vaccines as an adjuvant, thus reducing the amount of antigens needed to provide an effective dose. And the quantity of Al used is tiny; less than what babby is already exposed to through the environment. So you’d think that “vaccine-concerned” parents would be all for something that actually reduces exposure to active ingredients. But as we’ve seen again and again, your average anti-vaxxer doesn’t know biochemistry, epidemiology, and risk-vs-benefit calculations from a kick to the head; though that’s hardly surprising for a bunch of malignant narcissists all pathologically incapable of counting beyond One.
The answer with the most upvotes still gets shown. The problem is that much later answers that are more correct with later technologies, don't gather enough upvotes to make it to the front of the pack, so they get ignored.

What's the alternative to Perl for the sort of file conversion and text processing that can be done with a Perl script of about a hundred characters that I can type in and edit on the command line? Or if I want a 100-line script that will work in 2029 the same as it works today and won't require any stuff to be installed first?

I don't like Perl, but since it's there, it works, it runs quite fast and I'm familiar with it, I'll probably continue using it for my own stuff for as long as I continue to use a computer, which is likely to be at least a couple of decades beyond 2023.

My biggest takeway, too, was the amount you paid for rent was based on the percentage of sales.

Also of interest was the 20 - 30% of spending was done on the bar, which the person running the food court got, too. So, basically the Food hall is taking in 60% of the revenues.

Not a bad business model. Naturally, they are incentivized to make the individual stalls work as a business, so I imagine there's some negotiation that can go around for the price they charge....
The fact you actually have to mention there is a flag means most people don't know about it. As a someone that has lived in Hong Kong for the last 10 years, even I didn't know this flag exist. Searching online, I cannot say the flag is immediately recognizable.

I've used a Mac since the IIGS. This year I bought my first non-Mac (a desktop) in a long time. Now I am looking at a laptop. I don't think I'll ever own a Mac again because of this, plus all the other semi-recent things (I need to have a developer license to write software for an OS built on BSD, what I perceive as deteriorating quality, low-value features such as the touch bar, Mac OS becoming more and more IOS like, and more).

My new go-to for dev laptops is a System 76 machine [1]. I am unaffiliated with System 76 in any way.

Standups are only good if they're used for a very specific, time-critical task that requires coordination among several people. Ex: a major feature is being launched that requires a lot of coordination, but is going to be done in 10 days.

Standups should not be used as tack-on "agile" or as a way for management to keep up with what devs are doing or to pressure devs to do more. Ex: daily standup at 11 am.

The original purpose of standups in "agile" was to help devs get unblocked. But the expectation should be that others should help devs get unblocked whenever they hit a block, instead of waiting til the next standup! What are they wasting time being blocked when they can simply send an email or IM to a colleague?

Meh, each language has its quirks. I am a native Spanish speaker, and while English pronunciation is a clusterfuck, Spanish has its own share of issues for non-native speakers - like the need to memorise the useless the gender of words that refer to non-gendered things. Nobody cares that a table is female, but you won't sound native if you don't know it.

I'm told that some of the advanced forms of verbs (like the subjunctive) are real trouble for non native speakers, although at least learning that isn't a fruitless task.

I would totally agree with that, however I have over the years developed the suspicion that people who make hiring decisions might not be operating at the same logical level that I am.

Given both that suspicion, and how they seem to behave about prominent github profiles and such, I think that being in the top 20th percentile or so on SO and a strong focus on the tags that correlate to the terms in a job announcement might be a big draw to some HR people/managers who just really don't want to mess up one more time! After the fifth complaint or so of programmers we hire don't know how to code or whatever - it might be soothing.
Most (if not all) pensions do not contractually guarantee future contributions or cost of living adjustments. You can't claw back existing obligations, or promised future obligations.

I speak/write ~english, ~italian and spanish, and if I have to arrange them by 'coherence' it would be english-spanish-italian.

>> Italian is phonetically one of the simplest languages on the earth

The fundamental importance of the double-consonant and its pronunciation is very difficult for non-italians. Same goes for V and B sound differences.

I agree that English for an Italian is a nightmare. Did you know that Italians can't pronounce the english 'H'? Like in 'hate' they will pronounce 'ate'? That's for starters. You can guess some text was written by an italian if you find something like "that task is an hassle".

Spanish is as difficult as Italian, but it has more rules that are useful when reading/writing (Italians: if I don't know how Modena and Milano are pronounced, where do I put the accent?), but spanish has also a lot of exceptions that are difficult to learn and remember.

English is perfect for tech stuff. Short, concise and clear.

But the fact remains that despite overwhelmingly biased western MSM support of the protesters, no mainstream outlet has endorsed these paranoid PLA agent provocateur narrative, or the many other outrageous misinformation attempts especially by r/HongKong users (Legco was inside job, look at the commissioner watch and other extremely stupid conspiracy theories). Confidently believing /r/HongKong is a reliable source of information is media literacy 101 tier ignorance.

Chinese know that there is a party flag. I have to explain to you, I don't have to explain to Chinese people.

By the way, the flag is very prominently displayed in the annual 1st October parade along with the PLA flag (do you know about that one?), in addition to the country flag.

I'm sure they also know what it means to fly the HK British colonial flag, the Union Jack, etc.

It goes beyond the benefit of the doubt...

For someone who claims to have lived in China for 10 years you seem very not curious about your environment and its history.

Contrarian perspective here:

English is not my first language, but I have come to deeply appreciate the idea of a common language that people share so that we can all work together regardless of where in the world we are.

Knowing more than one language adds lots of value, because each language offers different modes of thinking and conception. But also having one common language adds an insane amount of value, because now you can both win by having the capability to exchange ideas with people that otherwise might not happen and the opportunity cost is unpredictable.

(Example - German and Japanese teams use a universal language as a common language to work together on a groundbreaking energy project. That collaboration might not have otherwise happened due to language barriers. But if both parties learn a "Universal language" as a collaborative base, we can all gain advantage from that product of that win-win scenario. )

Personal 401k’s don’t offer much over saving directly. It has some tax advantages at the individual level, but those tax savings are just shifting money around at the societal level.

The upside of public / private pensions is pooling money among a pool of survivors. Rather than saving X money to live off of at 95 while risking dying sooner you essentially save less on a bet that will live to be 95. Die early and you don’t care about losing that bet. Of course this means less money for people to inherit.

Sadly for individuals it’s illegal to set contracts up to do this as they create incentives to kill people which have resulted in past murders. Annuity‘s can offer some of the benefits, but are forced to make less risky investments.
