I worked in that particular trade for quite a while, so I'm not speaking from ignorance. You move away from bucket truck work and the serious injury rates plummet (and bucket truck work -- especially line work -- pays way above average). Work for the union where safety is actually enforced and that rate plummets again.

While freak accidents happen, most are due to foolish people doing foolish things. For example, you mention getting your arm fried, but "working it hot" is almost always going to break safety regulations. I got hit with 480v once, but only because someone flagrantly broke safety regulations and cut my lockout off of a breaker.

If you think injuries don't happen at walmart, try working as a stocker for a few weeks. Only a fraction of a fraction of walmart employees are ever managers and it seems they are very often put there due to nepotism rather than merit. At least if you broke your back as an electrician, you make enough to save for retirement and the IBEW has great disability benefits.

Your last statement disregards three important facts of life. First, if everyone could get that computer job, it would pay next to nothing. Most people simply don't have what it takes. Second, as long as you like having electricity, there will be a demand for electricians. Somebody must do that job and the pay is very good. Thirdly, liking a job is not a pre-requisite. I very seriously doubt most people in the service sector like their jobs. If you're going to dislike your job anyway, you might as well go for the one with higher compensation. If you do decide to switch careers later, you'd be a lot better off with all that extra money.
I feel you so much on this one. Visuals certainly help me, but i would take a purely written source over a purely video one any day of the week (talking only about learning material throughout this whole comment btw). For one, with readable sources i can go at my own pace, set pauses, skip over parts that i already know or find to be fluff, etc. The source and the structure of a written source are one and the same, which allows me to consume the material in the way that is personally the most efficient for me. With videos, i have zero control of the flow and zero knowledge of the structure of the material, let alone being able to traverse the structure and control it. This alone makes videos way less efficient for me.

The only scenario where i would prefer videos for learning something are when the material is very short in length and very single-minded, like “explaining how that one specific formula works and how it is used for that one specific application and why” or when i need to fill a small gap in my knowledge of something. And even then, there is some potential for the creator of such video to misuse the video and pad it with fluff and poor narration, though this is not unique to video as a medium and can be done in a text-based material as well.
You seem to assume someone has to "love" what they do to be effective. I'm a senior engineer, and I don't hate what I do, but I wouldn't be doing it at all if I were financially independent. I'd be doing something I love instead.
That's a pretty big simplification of politics over the last century and a half.

For example, let me grant you that Nazi Germany and the Soviets were equally bad for the sake of this question, would that mean that we and our allies were moderate? Do the proxy wars that we fought/are fighting all over the world factor into an ideological spectrum?

The reason that I'm asking a question instead of just going all "what about-ism" is I really would like top understand why people think the way they do. Not trying to start an argument.

I would suggest them getting two degrees. One would need to be in something they can tolerate doing for a living that has a good chance of earning enough money (though the actual definition of enough differs between people) and the other in what they love to do.

This does mean sacrificing a lot of the fun during college, but in exchange you get both an education in what you love and a career that can support what you love even if what you love isn't financially viable.

I always like Richard Hamming’s take on hours worked: “ Knowledge and productivity are like compound interest.'' Given two people of approximately the same ability and one person who works ten percent more than the other, the latter will more than twice outproduce the former.” (From “You and Your Research”: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html)

I started incorporating this thinking into my own work schedule, and I believe it to be true. I certainly found that I grew incredibly quickly in my abilities when I started working more (as long as I was applying the hours intelligently, which is admittedly its own trick)

Tbh I find the Ubuntu message of the day quite useful.

The "adverts" are benign. Right now it says to check out microk8s and also to look at livepatch.

I don’t know that I’d call myself a moderate, but my honest opinion is that many strongly held views disturb me precisely because they tend to be so strongly held by those who seem to hold them, rather than being wrong in themselves, or because they require their adherents to brook no opposition. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, and I believe that people who say they have all the answers can safely be assumed to be wrong about a great many things, and strong political ideologies are, in essence, claims to have all the answers.

I’m open to a lot of ideas, and I’d be perfectly happy to experiment with policies that are way outside the Overton window, but I think what feels dirty to me is holding political opinions so strongly that it makes our fellow humans the bad guys.

I think the continuity of care thing is overblown. There will always be a handoff because no one can work 24/7. One way specialties such as Emergency Medicine and Critical Care (which manage the Intensive Care Units) manage this is with overlapping shifts, where for the last hour of one shift and the first hour of the next shift overlap.

Emergency Medicine and Critical Care manage to do handoffs well, as well as nursing. I strongly disbelieve that surgeons are uniquely incapable of doing handoffs.

Long hours or continuous working exhausts. This does not lead to productive work. Creative work is key and that depends upon flexibility.
And this is why Debian exists.

I’m confused. You say you don’t believe anyone does 80 hours and then you seem to add a qualifier to define work as that which is creative or meaningful.

To your first statement, it is possible and very common in law and investment banking, so it’s easy to dispel that misconception for you. I worked in investment banking for years and there were dozens of people on my floor which was one of dozens of floors pulling 70-90 hour weeks routinely. There is some % of an 80 hour week lost in transition (sitting at a desk waiting for feedback on a book that needs to go to printing by 4am for the 8am meeting) but you have no choice but to be there and at any moment you have to be prepared to act on whatever next step is required.

To your second point: was this work deeply creative or meaningful? To me it was. Perhaps less creative than technical. As for meaning, that depends. We would routinely work on projects that had 9-figure dollar impact on companies with tens of thousands of employees. Our numbers determined the fates of thousands of employees and hundreds of thousands in their supply chains. Today I manage over 50 people, while I have a more direct human impact now than I did then, my impact today is a fraction of what it was when our teams changed the course of companies from a little Excel spreadsheet.

Language evolves and changes over time. I don't know whether the popular/common usage for the intended meaning (provide an alternative implementation of a function or method) has begun using "overwritten," but I'd argue that the underlying runtime implementation matters.

Typically, one's own implementations doesn't have the ability to literally overwrite the original - the original exists in some place and continues to exist in that place. You can point original symbols at a new implementation, but that old implementation isn't "overwritten" in memory. In OO runtimes, you can override in a subclass (but not overwrite), and the super class implementation is still right there, available as needed.

In the discussed case, if anything is truly "overwritten," it's the value (pointer?) at the symbol "requestAnimationFrame," but I'm doubting that's even that case - I'd wager (without being a deep JS expert) that the original is available in another scope.

Even given all that, if popular usage wants to go with "overwritten," fine - I'm not a linguistic purist.

Look for the one SSID that is unaffected and I'd bet you'd find the culprit. It's possible that someone set it up solely to screw up WiFi for everyone else but I'd bet money that the reason why they did that is specifically so that the spectrum is left wide open for themselves. WiFi in an apartment right next to a bunch of businesses generally sucks because of the density, it's probably just some selfish script kiddy thinking they're some uber l33t hacker and thinking they can't be caught screwing over their neighbor's WiFi.

What's the advantage over back-in perpendicular parking? I don't actually think your eyeballs are closer to the road (since the diagonal to your front corner is longer than the line to your nearest headlight), and you can always force neighboring cars to be further away by just painting the lines wider apart.

At first I wondered if the road can be slightly narrower while still allowing one to get into the parking space, but if you look in the OP article at how the orange envelope is shaped by the way the front end swings around, I don't really think that's the case.

In general, I'm confused about why angle parking is picked over perpendicular parking. It's significantly less linear density (reduced by the factor cos(theta)), but the square shape of cars means the road width occupied by the parking is hardly less. (The wasted space is the triangular patches between the parked cars and the road/sidewalk.) Parallel parking has even lower linear density, of course, but takes half the road width.
When I was applying to colleges (in the 90's), my parents told me that:

(a) If I applied and was accepted at the local state University, they would pay the full costs for me to attend there. (at the time, ~$10K/yr)

(b) If I was additionally accepted to any other school and decided to go there, they would still pay _me_ the costs of attending the state school, and I would be responsible for for making up any difference in tuition (financial aid, scholarships, loans, side jobs, whatever) to the alternate school.

They did offer a ton of guidance and encouragement towards applying for scholarships, finding jobs, etc. and in the end I did manage to get through a private school in a different state.

It worked out for me - I would probably offer a similar deal to my own children.

35 years of racing sailboats(mostly other people's) ranging from 14-80ft have taught me a lot. You can do more than you thought. You can get in deeper than you ever imagined and still get out. And this sounds deep. The coolest thing is mentioned in the article. Sailing on and participating in this adventure changes lives. And saves more than you might know. Over the years I've known many people young and old who have died, by natural causes, or their own hand, or at the hand of another. Of hundreds of sailors I've known personally, I recall only one who took his own life.
I really like your comment. Dealing in absolutes, either way, seems incomplete. It really does depend on the kind of market you're in and the competitors that you face.

The one distinction I find important is between working long hours because of the nature of your situation v/s working long hours because your manager/company is exploiting you. Determining if that's the case or not is up to the worker.
I worked pipeline. We'd do 11 hour days, 3 weeks on, 3 days off. Not quite 80 hours, but we worked the entire time.

Now that could get an upvote!
The technique described by GP kind of does, but you don't have to get the first part of the maneuver perfect - it just reduces your angle relative to the parking spot. The backward driving then then fixes bad alignment and having a non-0 angle (but with limited space you might need iterate using back-and-forth moves).

Also, for OP: You'll often find that getting into a spot is difficult, but getting out again is trivial. Obviously you could try to just reverse the "leaving movement" as part of your parking maneuver. This can help with finding the perfect spot for starting the parking maneuver.

They do. But sunlight sucks (UV especially) and salt water sucks even more.

Rain, wind and thunderstorms also damage the boat.
modern materials: lots of fiber reinforced resin and lots of aluminum. Not a lot of hammering caulk into seams these days. That said, salt water is really corrosive and it gets aerosolized and all over everything. Fresh water boats are a lot less maintenance intensive.

solar power instead of sails: A sunny day is about ½ HP per square yard of deck for a few hours. A 37 foot sailboat might get you about 15 square yards of deck if you really covered it, so < 10HP. Said boat might have a 40HP diesel for getting about. I can't say how many horsepower the sails make, but the boat I'm thinking of definitely has more sail power than engine power. (Pacific Seacraft 37).

That said, if you aren't planning to survive an ocean, but rather plan to have a pleasant day on a canal or a pond, an electric boat would be an excellent choice (though I'd just use batteries instead of solar) and are available.

It’ll happen someday. I think there are enough hobbyists interested in home manufacturing (of all sorts of kinds) that we’ll eventually have low barrier to entry home semiconductor fabs. They’ll probably sacrifice performance for simplicity — I can’t imagine a home fab ever being cutting-edge — but for most applications that’s fine.

Real security is hard work, because it requires imposing a burden on users, as well as diligent design to not then squander it.

Snake oil is profitable, because you can sell it in place of security while not making the users and developers do that work.

"Multi factor authentication" has trickled down into snake oil drip pan. That is what a "soft token" is. That is what text message / email verification is. That is what additional passwords are (eg "what is your favorite high school"). These "solutions" let companies check an "MFA" box with no substantive changes.

Not that I want any of these companies pushing "MFA" onto users to insist on more invasive methods either. I like that their bullshit SMS challenge goes to a cloud provider and pops up in a terminal ready to be pasted, because frankly that challenge wasn't wanted by anybody except whomever in their company needed to check that box!
