"lying to yourself" seems unduly insulting. Maybe other people are tracking calories, and TRF is how they stay within a budget. Even if they are tricking themselves, what's wrong with that? We all hack our own reward-response mechanisms all the time to achieve all sorts of goals. If it works, it works, and what's the harm? Why condemn that as less "honest" than whatever you do to work around your own limitations and achieve your own goals?

Making people feel bad about the methods they choose is real-world harmful. Maybe "advice" like yours won't actually kill anyone, but people who become discouraged by that drumbeat of negativity could experience some ill effects. Be glad that what works for you works for you, but please stop pissing on everyone else.
The problem is both sides.

If the right says carbon taxes are acceptable, why hasn't the left jumped on board? They could even propose that it be made progressive by redistributing the tax proceeds as a tax credit inversely proportional to income, because supposedly poorer people are affected more (higher cooling costs, more exposure to pollution, etc). The point of a carbon tax is to reduce carbon emissions, not provide funding to government or be a UBI, so how it is returned to the population is completely separated from the programs goals. And in this case, it would be a double-win: conservatives pass a solution without a ton of regulations, and the left passes a solution that's helps the poor.

What we need is a coming together to find a solution that works for both sides and actually has a chance of making progress. But what we get is name calling and grandstanding. The left proposes solutions they know the right won't even consider, and the right argues the problem doesn't exist. Both sides are in the wrong here. Perhaps the right is a little more problematic, but both sides are dogmatic and apparently incapable of talking about the problem rationally.
>I've lost maybe two days of work because of package server outages [...] For the clients and employers in question, this was acceptable downtime.

Your eating pattern matches up with what Dr. Satchin Panda of the Salk Institute is finding regarding circadian rhythms, which every cell in our body has.

Evidence points to the benefits of eating only within an 8-12 hour window each day. With newer evidence suggesting having that eating window open from breakfast through lunch being the best for health/longevity/etc.

Amazon really seems to be doing this on purpose. Even tasks as simple as starting an EC2 instance require referencing multiple pages to find out how much this instance will cost you, while some other providers just show the predicted costs/month in the instance creation dialog.
> I had a seamless time using wireguard (via a streisand installation) ...

I've been using Wireguard via https://github.com/trailofbits/algo for a while now. Of all of the VPN experiences over the last couple of decades, Wireguard has been light-years ahead of the rest.

First: it's fast. If the server is up and you don't have packet loss, you can't tell when it is turned on. For fun, I wrote some trivial automation to automatically and randomly switch between a few wireguard back ends, and I generally can't detect it.

Second: it's easy. For me, an experienced technical user. I don't know enough about the ecosystem to recommend it to less technical people, though given how basically sound it is, I'll be surprised if there aren't really easy and robust front-ends coming up.
Perhaps we just hear about it more. I know men that never got along, years of conflict. And the absolute worst, is when a man gets it into his head that he despises a women (usually for speaking up to him). There's no end to the retribution.

Underground junction boxes can get water in them. In a previous apartment I lived at in one exploded about half a block away, blew the manhole cover off clear down the block (a few hundred feet) and lit on fire. There's still some risk. Maybe not as much, but weatherproofing is still hard.

Is this approach materially different/more scalable than using the active record, ORM, and seed file patterns supported by popular MVC frameworks (e.g., like how Rails does it https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_migrations....)?

I am the same age as you, but I do not think this is about age, at least not mainly about age. My father who is almost 70 has no issue understanding what git and github are and I have worked with people under 25 who have not had an issues with this distinction either. And there are plenty of open source developers I have met who are pushing 70 who keep up with technology just fine.

Sure, I notice that younger developers do not know some things, like they never experienced the Java EE hype, so they can fall into some traps which are well known among older engineers.

On the other hand aluminum recycles very well, and it is economically viable to recycle, unlike almost every other material. It's estimated 75% of the aluminum ever produced is still in circulation, thanks to recycling.

The solution is clear: use aluminum instead of plastic for packaging. Possibly cardboard.
GPT2 is trained on huge amounts of text. it contains every book people haven't read, and can more or less stitch pieces together seamlessly. This is exciting from a research perspective but the hype is out of control already. Despite breaking previosu benchmarks, language benchmarks themselves are not great ways to describe language. I get the excitement but this overselling to the general public is soon gonna lead to a trough of disillusionment.

it is a recuring observation in gender related articles, that crucial facts are left out when they are evidence of gender bias against men, ore even when they are just a piece of the puzzle that will prevent you from jumping to the "all men bad, women suffer" conclusion.
when data or facts are obviously missing it is therefor good advice to assume they are left out for a reason and will probably go against the authors desired interpretation.
alternatively one can conclude its just a bad study.

There are some back-end changes coming to GCC, and no one had ported m68k to it (presumably there is no maintainer for m68k in GCC?) The back-end code the m68k code was relying upon was going away, and it needed ported to use the modern one. Someone has stepped up and done that work, so it gets to live another day.

https://gcc.gnu.org/backends.html based on this is looks like avr, cris, h8300, mn10300 and vax are yet to be ported away from cc0.
My very obvious question for this is... what's the latency of "spinning up" the DB? It's not discussed on the Amazon page. Their example is someone running a news site, so I imagine the wait time is something under 1 second of overhead to spin-up the DB, but what does it feel like in practice? Are we talking 50ms of wait time for the DB spin-up, or 500ms?

Most repos involve banks, investment banks, money dealers and various investors.

>What Is a Repurchase Agreement?

>A repurchase agreement (repo) is a form of short-term borrowing for dealers in government securities. In the case of a repo, a dealer sells government securities to investors, usually on an overnight basis, and buys them back the following day at a slightly higher price. That small difference in price is the implicit overnight interest rate. Repos are typically used to raise short-term capital. They are also a common tool of central bank open market operations.

The entire study is not very interesting. They studied a single bank in Asia with "thousands of employees." They don't name the bank. They don't even name the country. They make no attempt to address cultural differences. They disclaim that the study is representative of the world, but then offer some mental gymnastics which imply without actually suggesting that it represents the US because of the country's similarity to the US in gender employment numbers and attitudes.

It's not $5 per service unless you only have one service. The scaling is the fact that you run more than one thing on it.

I run a bunch of stuff on a $5 VPS and more still on small machines like raspberry pi's and so on behind it.

On my distro at least, spinning up a real paravirt container (not docker, a full OS with systemd, SSH, etc) within a VPS is a matter of unzipping a bootstrap to /var/lib/machines and running 'machinectl start whatever-you-called-it'.

It's just a different set of abstractions to learn, and at least IMO one that's more valuable.
The study would suggest that if such conflicts occur at the institution in question and such conflicts have the gender bias of your experience, that they have no bearing on promotion.
I'm assuming you're not counted in the SF growth numbers though. For that matter, Boston is one of the listed cities but I live far enough out of Boston that I may not be counted in the Boston numbers and I'm also far enough out that property values haven't inflated nearly as much as in the city proper.
> you can create a snapshot of the volume

how? note that docker commit/export does not include volumes
What you are describing is a very typical "business application" something that is a step above a spreadsheet and a word doc on how to use it.

In those scenarios, the _real_ cost isn't the $5/mo VPS but the managing upgrades, security patches, etc - which would be mostly handled for you in this scenario.

> 2. Asymptotic growth towards 100% certainly sounds unsustainable.

"Sounds" isn't an argument and I'm explicitly arguing the slope is likely to flatten, eventually. The point the income elasticity of health expenditure can be (is) well north of one and we can (and do) consume more of everything else at the same time.

> Log-log overfitting

That isn't a thing. You can argue this specification minimizes the residuals at the high end if you want, but it's very likely to the correct modeling decision, it's bog standard in economics, and the US residual ~= 0 (certainly not notably high). It's also pretty obvious health expenditures are increasing in % terms and that failing to log-transform results in particularly poor model performance with constant slope out of sample.

> The lower third of this country can’t afford essential care.

The lower third of the country consumes approximately the same amount of care as the rich, as in other high-income countries, and the socioeconomic gaps in other countries are likely comparable to even larger (depending on how measured).

https://twitter.com/RCAFDM/status/1203715358152167424

To the extent there are real and ultimately consequential issues with affordability for some small segment of our population, these aren't likely to be explained by aggregate costs or prices so much as by narrow details that we can tweak, i.e., without requiring massive change, should the political desire exist to do so.

> seems a lot more relevant— and less cherry-picked — than the history of household spending on food consumption.

Pardon me, but I was engaging with someone that was arguing this expenditure growth implied starvation and you're making very similar (wrong) arguments. Whether you appreciate it or not, the role of general increases in productivity, the source of real income growth in the long run, and differences in the rate of productivity growth in different sectors, which we are clearly reflected in prices, is very much on point. Food production is simply a way to make this concrete for people that struggle with abstractions like price indexes and relative prices.
