Not saying you are quack, these days reading things like this sets off an alarm for me. I've learned all too-well by my years of dealings with "health-conscious self-help" community that a lot of it is just step away from medical quackery. I suspect the reason for this is D-K effect in people who think that by reading up things in internet they can somehow out-do existing research in the field. I know a person with masters degree in CS who managed to convince himself through the reading of wikipedia and "self-help" books that he was feeling bad due to levels of acidy in his body, condition which he "keeps under control" by drinking bottle of vinegar a day. That was weird, but nothing bad (I believe?), but over few months he became extremely preachy about modern medicine is a scam developed to sell people pills, and it's all solvable by diet and healthy living.

We don't know what causes migraines, and the subject is very hard to research because no there are no apparent differences in anatomy and bio-chemistry between people who suffer migraines and those who don't, and you would need to run tests on sufferer during migraine as it leaves no trace in the body few hours after it ends.

There been many leads that turned out as flukes over the years. Maybe it's something with hormones? Nope. Maybe its blood circulation in the brain? Nope. Pressure on blood vessels in the neck? Nope. Latest discovery is different levels of calcium in brain-spinal fluid in those that suffer migraines and those who don't... so naturally migrainers on Facebookgroups are now all the rage about removing salt from your diet (oh, but this from the top of the mountain salt ten times the price is good for you!).

80-Core N1 Next-Gen Ampere, ‘QuickSilver’: The Anti-Graviton2
I saw that a few years back when I was working with a company that had outsourced a lot of its operations to India because India was so cheap. Problem was, India had gotten more and more expensive every year to the point where it didn’t make economic sense any more... so they were looking into offshoring their operations to Africa.
Cannot recommend Atomic Habits enough.

Basic theory is:
Don’t focus on goals. Aim for processes which are easy, repeatable and rewarding. Before you know it you’ve blown the goal out of the park.

I had a job where an aspect was handling internal tickets for our team, a shared responsibility. I paired my habit of making a coffee with reading an open ticket. I also added a bookmark to make getting to the ticket list easy. Team’s open tickets quickly reduced and I didn’t even make _closing_ them part of my process... it just tended to happen.

Get the book though, it’s a quick read and packed with solid advice.

“??? You're saying that someone should not consider the outcome distribution of people similarly situated to themselves when making a choice? Isn't that completely rejecting empiricism?“

No, what I’m saying is presence of a statistical pattern in a whole population is not evidence that we shouldn’t make policy to change it. Statistically, those who live in Miami are more tan than those who live in Wisconsin, on average. But if you expose a Wisconsin resident to the same amount of sun, on average they will be just as tan.

I imagine eventually the pay will go down, as the most useful software is already written and some aspects of automation creep into coding. (But I've been thinking that way for about 30 years now.)

I think coding pays well because it requires constant learning. You might get off the ground with some technology, but you'd better be completely re-invented every 5 years or so.
Because people like to find type errors at compile time, not runtime, they want to know which types a function uses, and they like to have usable code intelligence in their IDEs (code completion, find usages, rename symbol, etc.). VSCode with Pyrite is the best option I've found for this. It makes Python feel less like stabbing in the dark.

The fact that you like Python for being "runnable pseudocode" suggests to me that you only use it for very small scripts, in which case it is true you don't really need static types or type hints. But many people use Python for much larger programs and in that case it is really indispensable.

I don't think you understand either the specificity or how debilitating a migraine can be. For example, mine (and those of many others) are preceded by a very clearly identifiable visual disturbances, called a migraine 'aura'. I get headaches once in a while too, but it's very easy to tell the difference. and trust me, nobody with migraines wants to sweep them under the rug, and painkillers really don't touch them.

The problem for migraines today is that anything stronger than caffeine starts to come with potentially nasty side effects. Imitrex is the first option people usually go to - for myself, I decided not to do that.

Almost everyone with migraines will be advised by their doctor to try to identify triggers, dietary or environmental. But it's tricky. I kept a food log for months to absolutely no avail. At some point after about 20 years of migraines, I finally figured out that looking at a really bright light (think sunlight reflection off of polished metal) would pretty reliably trigger a migraine. The existence of medications that reduced the severity of symptoms in no way stopped me or many others from trying to identify causes.

Physical books are not "gone". The word you are looking for is "dominant". Physical books dropped down to about 80% of the new book market in 2012, and since then have held steady or even gone back up, closer to 90% in recent years. The used book market is, of course, even more dominated by physical books.

The preference for physical books over e-books is actually higher among younger readers than older readers (who appreciate being able to increase the font size in e-books).

Looks like Microsoft freely admits that its previous Technologies like C++/CX are "clunky" to use (which I wager is PR speak for "impractical bullcrap"). Not to mention other technologies which are officially described as "verbose, tedious and complex".

Now it seems like C++/WinRT is the next holy grail and they provide instructions how to port your previous code (which is now obsolete - thanks Microsoft!) from any of the previous technologies to the new blessed one. We'll see how that works out. If I understand correctly, C++/WinRT allows you to write mostly standard-conforming C++, which is an incredible feat! 
. It might make it easier to write code that is portable between platforms.

Meanwhile I'll just continue using plain C, instead of pulling out the last hair I still have on my head. Because nobody's still given me a reasonable argument what's wrong with plain functions and a linker.

And nobody has been able to give a good argument why we need an obscure technology like COM to achieve a reasonable amount of compile-time and run-time introspection. Why shouldn't we just be able to specify which sets of plain old functions should be used as constructors and destructors, for example? That would allow to write all kinds of OOP languages on top for anyone who is willing to make the associated tradeoffs.

Most tools have a lot of overhead. As a solo dev, your advantage is speed, but a little friction and grist is needed sometimes.

It takes only an hour or so to restructure it for more than one person, so cross the bridge when you get there.

For to do lists I use Sublime+PlainTasks plugin. It's fast, sticks in your head. If you want something cloud, Workflowy might be good too.

Without a product manager or scrum master it's also easy to get into tunnel vision and stray. I sometimes enjoy having an extra person to bounce ideas off and tell me to keep on track. If it's a startup, get a co-founder, give them 10%-50% just to tell you listen to you. It seems a little unfair, but it's worked for me.

Another trick would be a design doc to remind you of design decisions. I'm happiest with this format: https://random-character-generator.com/whatisthis
Nobody does that.

I don't know what would feel worse, having to write reviews/reference of my one night stand for other guys, or having her write one about me for other girls.

Sounds more like an escorting service than a dating one. If a guy/gal is really great, you would be with him/her, or try to rekindle the relation ship.

Heck like this one that looks like it sounds great, "He was great, except for that one thing that I won't give detail about but was bad enough to stop me from wanting a relationship with him now or ever", that's not even a really good reference for dating, more like a huge red flag ...

Yes, this is a matter of definitions, but it looks like the people writing about "global savings glut" are including short-term corporate bonds.

But the reason there is a choice of definitions is because all lending creates money if the debt is considered reliable and can circulate like money. It's quite similar to the reasons that bank deposits are considered money.

You can use a stricter definition that doesn't include bonds but I'm not sure why you prefer it?

The CrewCrew bouncers are hired as far as I know. Angels don't have a reason to assault anyone except in personal self-defense, i.e. punching someone who's trying to jab a screwdriver into them or similar 1 on 1 assault defense cases.

The gate access control angels are instructed to dial 110 on DECT which connects them to CrewCrew dispatch/triage.

One alternative is a package manager like https://scoop.sh/. It's built-in repositories are vetted/curated, free to publish on and simple to install/use.

There is the downside that it's a cli-based app, but that's easily overcome with a GUI frontend add-on.

One of my favorite parts of it's architecture is that it's got a mechanism for adding third party repositories (buckets), so while the publishing policy for the main bucket is mostly limited to development tools, it wouldn't be hard for the community to build a new bucket for independent software developers to use as a general distribution mechanism.

Was not being snide. Significance is that these installation scripts tend to be managed separately from the application code and that there are more avenues for attack via these scripts -- it is not usually apparent where the scripts are coming from.

Running them directly post-curl without even verifying a sum of some sort leaves me uncomfortable.

Besides it's a fun exercise to consider how you'd solve the problem of securing an installation script which are much more homogeneous in behavior than generic applications.

This is purposeful marketing misinformation. The goal here is to incentivize a naive customer, apparently including you, to make their devices non-reusable and to buy new devices.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why understanding and mastery is not rewarded in education to the extent some/I believe it should be. My current thinking is that it’s simply not how most people learn, and few systems can withstand pressure from the great majority.

There are interesting exceptions though: take the Putnam math test for instance. It’s taken mostly by math and theoretical physics majors who want to go to grad school in those subjects. The maximum score is 125, and the top scores are typically 115+. The median score however is usually... [wait for it]... zero.

I suspect a lot of grades would have that kind of distribution if they really tested for deep understanding and mastery of the subject.

That's almost identical to how movie companies restrict rentals (as opposed to sales) of videos for a period after movies are released, but nobody would claim that this means movie companies are trying to "kill digital video rentals."

At the very least, "trying to kill e-books" would mean that publishers were actually attempting to convince people to buy paper books instead of e-books, which is not something they are doing. Moreover, when I first read the title of this article, I thought that publishers were actually considering ceasing publication of ebooks, which is definitely not what is being described.

If 4 months in jail and a $16k fine is their idea of a severe punishment for an intentional strategy that led to 35 employee suicides, I doubt this is sending the hash message to other CEOs that the article suggests.
In addition to all the other reasons mentioned here, another idea: managers don't know how to use programmer talent very efficiently. Of all the things programmers are told to do, 90+% of them are useless or worse than useless, in that they simply make long-term maintenance worse without adding value.

If you cannot use a resource efficiently at all, wasting most of it, then it is not surprising that you end up with a shortage. When faced with this situation, management can:
1) admit that they are the problem, and get much better at allocating programmer effort wisely, a task that will be very difficult even once it's well understood (which it currently isn't). Or...
2) hire more programmers, paying whatever is required to get more
The largest QR code in the standard, "version 40" - can only store 3 kilobytes at the lowest level of error correction and 1.2 kilobytes at the highest level [1]. And that's a pretty huge QR code [2]

My back-of-the-envelope calculations say you'd need 61 bits per line on a receipt just to encode UPC, quantity and price. So the largest QR code would only allow 19-50 lines. And that's without including data like the store name, special offers, means of payment and so on. Believe me, plenty of people buy more than 50 items in their supermarket christmas shop :)

Standardised digital receipts would be neat but, QR codes encoding the data ain't the way to go about it.
