in 95% of my income I'm not paid per hour/time (rarely I have tasks paid per hour, which I usually don't like), but per size of the task, I just use time/money cost for easier understanding after calculation, if I average my income my minimum hourly rate would be between 60-200USD depending on how efficient I am with certain task

and the tasks are assigned by currently 2nd biggest company in their field (over 100bln USD revenue last year), you seriously don't expect me telling them how should their multiple teams manage their tasks and workflow? I'm not doing any bidding, I have my rate and I can decide if I accept or reject task they assign to me (and pretty much all of them go first to me, then to my official backup).

working per hour/time would be worse for me, because I'm much more efficient than other people so some average 1-2 week income would be much lower than what I can get per size. and getting some fixed size for 1-2 weeks would be still pointless because all these smaller tasks have usually deadline within 24hrs, many less than 12hrs. they have vry strict daily deadlines and you can do nothing about it

anyway I was not complaining about my job as most of the commenters picked up, I am happy with with how much I earn for work I do, I would just prefer to have less work, but that's not really an option unless I would subcontract someone working for me, but anyway I would need to check up on their work and it would bring lot of paperwork. if I would start refusing tasks regularly to lower workload they will just find someone who will not refuse, because they need consistent results.

so I was basically asking in my OP how to manage vacation with such schedule/circumstances and how people without fixed monthly income justify taking days off and letting the money go

Why? That's weather and short term. https://aqicn.org/map/sydney is the pollution in Sydney. Here is Jakarta https://aqicn.org/map/jakarta

Look at the historical data: all red and yellow for Jakarta, almost all green for Sydney, with the last two months an exception.

Climate change is going to have little to no impact on Sydney now or in the next 50-60 years.

Annoying? Sure! Talk to anyone who lives in Europe and deals with such buildings all the time. It's not the end of the world.

The overreaction by the owners is simply because of greed. Their building is worth less because it's harder to change now. This doesn't materially impact the business.

The argument that their building wasn't in any danger of being demolished is totally crazy. That is not one of the criteria used by the Commission! No one cares.
There is. If you watch someone without an enforced form do them, their body will tend to flail all over the place, especially as they struggle. Not only is that going to be less effective at generating the desired results over time, it can be physically dangerous.

The comments about GPL FUD seem a bit odd to me. The reason companies aren’t generally worried about Linux being GPL, but were worried about ZeroTier being GPL, isn’t because Linux is “grandfathered in”. It’s because these people aren’t confused about how the GPL’s viral nature works. As described lower in the article, companies are looking to incorporate ZeroTier code as a part of their custom, proprietary tool, which would cause the GPL to apply to them (that’s the whole point of the GPL: requiring them to share if they start shipping something like a VPN client binary which is powered by ZeroTier code).

Companies with a “no GPL” policy are pretty much always ok with a commercial license for a codebase that also has a GPL license, from a purely license/freedom standpoint. But also in almost all cases, it’s way more work/effort for a dev team to get a commercial license than to use a non-GPL open source library, because they have to coordinate with legal/procurement teams.

> I find the 16/8 routine tends to work best for me personally

That timeline as "fasting" is funny to me up because that is basically how people used to eat in 20th century USA, pre-obesity. You'd eat three meals a day, all reasonably sized (or even small by todays standards), and at specific times. No you can't have a snack, that would ruin your appetite!

But now people are addicted to food and abuse it rampantly as is evidenced by the majorities waistlines and health care expenditure, it's terrible for us all but it's not only the most culturally acceptable form of substance abuse, it's widely encouraged and even celebrated. Strange times.
> Climate change is going to have little to no impact on Sydney now or in the next 50-60 years.

Can you expand on that statement a bit? What do you base it on? It seems like we are already seeing adverse effects of global heating (eg https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2912/satellite-data-record-sho...) but maybe I'm missing your point.

Not sure why you chose to compare to Jakarta? The two cities haven't historically had similar air quality.
In this case, I have no idea why they did it. Maybe to ease the transition from C-like languages to an ML language. I personally have never seen anyone use braces in F#.

Optional syntax is not at all rare, though.

Examples from various popular languages: white spaces, braces around single statements, trailing commas in lists, inferred type declarations, and parentheses.

There are also multiple ways to write things, like if...else vs. ternary operator vs. pattern matching vs. switch, often in the same language (C# has all of those, with pattern matching only being added recently due to demand).

I agree that I'd prefer that there only be one way to do things, but that's easier said than done. Sometimes users demand new syntax for different contexts or for the sake of terseness.

I believe Google's AutoML is attempting to answer these types of questions. It's obviously internal-only so others can't fork the research...but it has helped them invent new specific networks like "EfficientNet for EdgeTPU" [0].

I think humans can still invent new macro structures like CNN's...but humans are inherently shit at analyzing "what if we removed one neuron in the 2nd hidden layer?". The subtle tweaking is really best left to an automated recursion process.

Humans are better at seeing/inventing macro structures - such as adapting the unidirectional GPT to a bidirectional ELMO/BERT. After the invention, humans are generally pretty good at determining "whether" a network can be used to solve a particular task, although not infallible [1: Can BERT generate sentences from a prompt like GPT?]

But computers are once again often better at quickly determining whether which (ELMO, BERT, or GPT) perform better on a particular task for which they are all at least feasibly suited.

that's rational approach except I am not paid per hour, but per job, not that it would change things much, it all comes down to that if I know there are money to earn I don't value my spare time at as much as I earn, especially considering that this won't last longterm and when it's gone I will have plenty of time doing nothing (read working as regular employee for peanuts) with no option to earn that much

in regular job as employee with fixed salary you have paid vacation by law and it's standard for almost all employees, same as it's standard that almost none of them work during vacation and local bank holidays and most of their salaries are shit

in recent months I earn on average 5 times more than is average income in my city (even more if you consider median), so you can see my conundrum why I don't want to give up on such income even during vacation. if I would be earning as much as majority of people, even majority of people in my field (still more than double) I would care about lost income during vacation much less than I care in current situation
Nah mate. Biggest issue I’ve ever had with the Ribbon is that 1. I didn’t have to use it very often and 2. It conflates menus and toolbars together and 3. The only time I’ve ever had to use it was when helping a friend find the action they are looking for.

It’s been around for 11 or 12 years and as recently as 2-3 years ago I was still helping friends out with it. The only reason I was ever able to figure out how to find what they were looking for is that I had what was essentially the trivia knowledge of what the Ribbon was meant to be good at rattling around in my head from reading about it years ago and what was left of my experience with the internal hierarchy of the apps from the late 90s. More often than not, it was some thing I knew used to be a menu item.

Menus and toolbars are a bit easier to figure out without prior knowledge, but where’s the fun in sticking with what is known to work well when you can reinvent the wheel and declare it to be a better wheel because it is newer and therefore must be better. Because it is newer.

I always thought the “liberal snowflake” term is quite odd. I guess I could qualify or classified as one. There’s something wrong with that statement. I think the meaning of it is quite the opposite. As a liberal, you realize that you are not a special individual and must cooperate to gain more, to distribute the available resources for some sort of greater progress, such as health care for everyone etc. Being the opposite is just what a snowflake would be. The one of a kind, just me and my capabilities and resources against the rest of the world. If you don’t have an insurance to give the appropriate healthcare to your loved ones, you, and only you are the failure here, not the collective “us”.

I believe I was less liberal in my youth, but since when I got my children I can’t bare the thought of not being able to pay their health care if they ever needed it. Even though that’s not a problem for me, I still think of it very often when I see them sick.

Nope. First of all, social mobility in the US is not better than anywhere else (https://www.epi.org/publication/usa-lags-peer-countries-mobi...) . Secondly, it's not that much harder to renounce US citizenship than other countries - in fact, in some ways it's easier because the US is the only country I know of that allows you to renounce citizenship without having another citizenship already.
My point was only that you don't have to "actively keep" your citizenship, by visiting the US or any other means.

I think it's a bit more complicated. Some brief overview of preservation in the US:

There exists a National Register of Historic Places (operated by the Parks Service) with about 90,000 entries, and within that scope is the National Historic Landmark registry, with about 2,600. Both may trigger local and state preservation laws, but the latter requires the consent of the owner to be included. About 50% of places on the NHL registry are privately owned.

Private institutions are usually not required to keep up the property to exacting standards, as the laws that govern property rights still apply to NHLs. Many matching grants are issued for NHLs, but at the same time, many private properties designated NHLs do become abandoned and fall into severe disrepair. Most NHLs are afforded tax breaks based on the cost of preserving the property.

But in the Strand's case, it appears that the "landmark" designation that's been assigned is a "New York City Landmark" status, making it a local issue. NYC law allows for the Landmarks Preservation Commission's decision to be overturned if an appeal is filed within 90 days, and hearings were held and motions filed against it, but apparently the NYC LPC went ahead with the status anyway.

So it seems like there needn't be a new requirement for the City to buy the property, or fund it, but the City's preservation agency could perhaps mimic the federal government's initiatives and give owners more leeway. (However, this may lead to more properties becoming abandoned and decaying, as happens currently with NHLs)

Still, the Strand's main objective doesn't seem to be getting reimbursed for costs: it's time. Apparently they're saying they would need to spend a lot of time to go through complex bureaucracy just to get a permit for some repairs, in addition to legal costs. Going through all that could stall business long enough for small-margin operations to go under. Regardless of who pays for what, if the regulation is too onerous, they just don't want the designation.
This is a pleasant fiction, isn’t it? A quick look will tell you that the US is far below the Nordic countries in social mobility. For instance:
