Basically what @netfl0 replied: stress, adapt, recover, rinse, and repeat.

Right now I follow a variation of the Texas Method, which is an intermediate program:

Squat 5RM: 355 lbs
Bench 5RM: 275 lbs
Deadlift 5RM: 425 lbs
Press 5RM: 165 lbs

Monday is volume day:

1. 5x5 squats at 90% of 5RM (~325)
2. 5x5 bench at 90% of 5RM (~235)
3. 3x10+ SLDL at 225 lbs

Wednesday is recovery day:

1. 2x5 squats at 65% of 5RM (~265)
2. 3x5 press at 90% of 5RM (~135)
3. 3x10+ pullups

Friday is intensity day:

1. 5RM squats
2. 5RM bench
3. 5RM deadlift

I recommend Starting Strength program if a beginner [2].

Full disclosure, I overdue it a bit by:

* doing BJJ on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
* biking to work about 5 miles each way
* daily 16 - 24 hour intermittent fasting and lifting at the tail end of my fast even for 5RM PRs

Note that I added these on gradually and it is definitely difficult to maintain, but I always opt for the challenge and have been able to add 5-10 lbs to my 5RM weekly when I get quality sleep, stick to my routine, and don't drink (I'm more into edibles anyway). Still, I think these extras just goes to show how much stress/recover/adapt a body can take.

Highly recommend Mark Rippetoe's books Starting Strength [3] and Practical Programming [4]. He really knows what he's talking about. I also recommend Alan Thrall for easier access to improving your form on Youtube [5].

Oregon has had vote by mail for at least 20 years and there is almost no irregularity in the process, either for voters or election officials.

In the 2016 election, out of 2 million votes cast, they found something like 54 cases of voter fraud, mostly people voting after they'd moved out of their district.

Election fraud in Oregon is equally rare -- the big one in 2016 was a Republican volunteer in Clackamas County attempting to toss out a box of dem voter ballots. I don't remember the specifics but I think they were caught almost immediately.

The security thing is absolutely a red herring to discourage more states from adopting vote-by-mail, pushed by anyone who benefits from low turnout, because vote-by-mail significantly improves turnout without threatening election security in any meaningful way.
I'm no expert on the topic, but it seems likely to me that there is a significant number of people defaulting on student loans but did not finish their degree program. I'd also speculate that the people who did complete their degree program are less likely to be in default than those who dropped out.
> If I build a playground for free and it gets popular in my neighbourhood, and then collapses on some poor kid, I'm still responsible, even if I did it for free.

This is less building the playground and more providing architectural plans to build the playground with common building materials. If some part is unsound, people might also be upset, but they weren't forced to build using your plans and could have reviewed the plans themselves. Where the blame lies is much more ambiguous than how you present it, IMO.
A start-up at the intersection of 'developer tools' and 'NoCode' would be very exciting to me. I'd love to see tools that reflect some of the principles outlined in Bret Victor's blog.

I wouldn't worry about it. Last time there was a pullback that I can remember, every other day it was HUGE companies(think MS, IBM, HP, etc) laying off tens of thousands of people. These are two relatively small companies, in challenging sectors, laying off a relatively small amount of people. Don't worry yourself making more of it than it is right now.
> Our analysis of more than two hundred samples of pay data provided by DoorDash workers across the country finds that DoorDash pays the average worker an astonishingly low $1.45/hour

Key words being "provided by Doordash workers". Meaning at all of this "analysis" is based on the numbers being given by the most disgruntled workers who presumably make the least. This makes all their conclusions highly suspect.

And if these disgruntled employees are aware that they're getting such a raw deal from Doordash, I'm wondering what stops them from going to a different company like Uber or Lyft instead. Those reportedly let people earn about $25 per hour (before expenses I think).
What exactly is missing from remote working/communication? I honestly can't handle anymore stupid messaging/conferencing systems.
Obviously. But are you going to do that so neatly it doesn't trigger unintended consequences? Which have the potential to make things worse.

It's easy to say "let's do X to make Y better", but it's not that simple with any real world complex system.

Look at bill AB5 for an example currently in progress and ostensibly about helping gig workers. Here's a sobering sample of second order effects:

What has gone wrong such that they can't do things without having to frequently get your take on it? Why don't they already know how to do these things, or if they do know, why do they need to hear it from you as well?

That's the problem here. You being interrupted frequently is just a symptom, and unless you're hoping that making yourself unavailable will force them to rise and no longer need you in some kind of "sink or swim" situation, that's quite a risk. Don't mask the symptoms; cure the disease.

You could additionally look to use a memorisation tool (something like Anki perhaps) to store new words and phrases that you like, so they are in your head, ready to be retrieved as you're hammering away at the keys.
Not sure, but add 2 percentage points? Still off by an order of magnitude.

The point is when 30% of people are discriminated against, it’s extremely noticeable, compared to when <1%, or at most 2-3% are. No point in awarding transparency points for that.
Dr. Dobb's did a nice article on this at the time. (If memory serves, it was sometime in the mid 1990's.)
The one fact that has stuck in my mind all of these years is when they were troubleshooting the failed system, they decided to do a simulation of it. The simulation showed clearly that the system could not work as designed. Think of the money they could have saved if they had done the simulation early enough to validate (or invalidate) the design...
I really feel like they missed out the opportunity to create Scrum Lords.
I keep getting "forbidden" when entering any search. Anyone else having this issue?
Tokyo Sonata is a pretty good fictional movie about the honor associated with working. Some salarymen would fake a job, leaving each day in a suit. On the other side of the spectrum, there are people forced into quitting because they would go to work and sit in a room all day since management didn't want the dishonor of firing someone. It definitely comes across as odd to a foreigner.
Nothing whatsoever was "ostracized" in this case. A fix was provided for code that could cause UB in some cases, the former maintainer rejected the fix as "boring" and denied that a problem existed. This could have happened just as easily in C or C++ code.
The cert isn't useful but the forcing function of studying for the exam can be, especially on practical exams like the CKA. At least for me, when I know that I have a test coming up it's very motivating and helps me focus.

While it is tempting to agree, I feel that if you take these principles to their logical conclusions, you lose any incentive to actually participate in any open source projects. If I cannot expect the author to even look at my code or read my issue reports, there is no reason for me to write the reports or share my fixes. If all my dependencies are my responsibility, the logical way to go is to fork every code base I am going to use, review all the code, fix whatever issues I find in my fork and never share any of it with the original project because there is no reason to.

(sorry for multireplies but this concept is just so exciting to me)
I agree that should be the basic etiquette.

Perhaps it needs to be said more clearly on project pages and codes of conduct and participation.

(Of course, it is not reasonable to demand that an already-overworked maintainer-for-free find extra hours to have the pre-PR discussion either. It needs to be exploratory and respect the maintainers' timescales. Luckily, if you don't get the response you wanted, you can fork and hire someone else or do it yourself, and keep your fixes in the queue for others to review eventually, if they want, at whatever timescale suits them.)

Unfortunately, there seem to be quite a lot of people who would, rather than discussing ideas respectfully, instead prefer to bully and shame the maintainer.

Such as, for example, calling out perceived issues in the code publically (sometimes incorrectly), and making out how unskilled the maintainer must be, in order to put pressure on the maintainer to sacrifice their personal life and do what the bully wants.

The technical problem is solvable, the deployment and technical support, and sales problem, and getting customers to upgrade, and the technical support, and did I mention the technical support problem would be a complete nightmare.

You can't actually leverage any of the economies of scale that you can get from building software, when you have to hold the hand of every single customer you deal with.

Someone like Oracle[1] can get away with this sort of thing (While charging an arm and a leg for it), but this is not the problem that your typical startup can solve.

[1] The other difference is that your Oracle database + solution is business critical, and businesses have no problem with paying $XY,000/year for business-critical solutions. Intranet search is a nice-to-have, and businesses balk at paying $5/user/month for that sort of stuff.

I agree with what you write.

But I also believe the counterfactual that, had Sun/Oracle been based their language upon (core) ML rather than Java (with suitable pragmatic additions like code loading and been able to convince programmers to use it), then that language would be even more dominant and performant today. Many of Java's mistakes and detours would have been avoided from Day 1.

Can I prove this? No. But the fact that Java and essentially all other successful languages have gradually been adapting essentially all of ML (sans modules), is evidence. It means that language designers like G Bierman, A Hejlsberg, Odersky et al, too have gone Milner's way.

Yes, that's what experienced, too in Germany. Both in the private and public sector.
But rationality (in the human sense) is completely governed by emotion. Curiosity about an unsolved problem? that's emotional regulation of the brain. Satisfaction that a problem is solved? also emotion. Beauty in a better solution? emotion.

This has significance, it's not just a restatement of "the problem" using different terminology. It's significant because the brain, like every other part of the body, evolved parsimoniously, and it does not have spare capacity lying around, so anything that "distracts" the emotional parts of the brain will diminish rational capacity. "Hangry" is not just a pun/quip about being hungry, it's empirically measurable, it affects outcomes.

Debating rational topics with your rational friends, whether at work, at school, or after hours over a beer, it's fun (emotion), can be frustrating (emotion) but does it ever not get heated (more emotion)?

The brain is an emotional organ. All the other organs are rational, they do what they do in entirely predictable and logical ways.
Appealing to "common decency" is just the same as "being owed". I think you're mincing words to avoid sounding entitled, and I don't think anyone is even entitled to two lines in a README, much less at the top.

TIL. I have used "jive" instead of "jibe" for a couple of decades. At some point, words change due to usage. I wonder how many people fall into my same boat. And I used it knowing it means "music" - the way it sounded to me was to "jive" was to fit in harmony.

> Without the electoral college, a candidate would only have to campaign in and win three or four large states, and the rest of the nations and its concerns can be ignored.

But this system already exists via swing states. Voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida determine the election currently, just look at how much is spent on advertising in those states compared to non-swing states. Look at how often candidates visit Ohio vs Kentucky.

The idea that the electoral college equally franchises all Americans is purely a myth.
Speaking as someone with extensive background both in cloud and hosting:

Cloud hosting is low margin. You sell IaaS at about the cheapest possible price point you can. That's the very definition of low margin. Economies of scale don't enter in to whether or not it's a low margin business, they only define how competitive you can be in a low margin business.

IaaS is not where you make the money. The margins have to be tight to be competitive because that's the dollar value people see first when evaluating your cloud platform. It has an immediate effect from day one.

The profits are not made on IaaS, but on the PaaS and SaaS solutions that you, as a cloud provider, build on top of the IaaS. Things like your DBaaS, Streaming, Functions, Load Balancers, Data warehouse etc. products.

Once they're on your platform, that's when you try to get them to pivot. "Why spend engineering effort on running and maintaining database servers, when we can do it for you immediately?" Of course, then once they're using your value-added solutions, they start to get towards vendor lock in, every business's favourite situation. A customer that can't leave!

It's a difficult balancing point, you want to make it seem to the customer like they can realistically leave any time they want, but you don't want them to so you do just the absolute bare minimum you can get away with to make it seem like they're not locked in to your platform.

It seems like it took Digital Ocean a long time to realise that they need the SaaS and PaaS components if they're going to be in this for the long haul. When we launched Oracle Cloud Infrastructure some 3 1/2 years ago, we launched with features that Digital Ocean hadn't yet bothered with, and we were trying to launch with what was seen as the bare minimum to be a viable cloud product.

DO only added load-balancers in 2017, https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/14/digitalocean-launches-load..., and a Block Storage service in 2016. That's (in both cases) 8 years after AWS launched EBS (2008) and ELB (2009).

Prior to those services existing, it was relatively easy for any customer to just drop Digital Ocean for another cloud provider, but even those services aren't a big lock-in for customers.

I sincerely hope it's not too late for them. I like Digital Ocean. They really shook things up when they first hit the market, by bringing something a little different to the plate, but that was never enough to survive and it seems like they only relatively recently realised that.
Diabetes technology is becoming pretty cool :) I have a Dexcom G6 CGM on my arm that sends blood glucose measurements to my phone every 5 minutes. It then sends it to Dexcom's cloud service which I poll using an open source project called Nightscout which I have deployed on Heroku.
I'm in a similar spot. As enticing as a Tesla Model 3 Performance edition might be, my '00 civic with 220k miles, no heater, and a head gasket problem still gets me to work every day, and I have all the cash I need to replace it the day it dies. My wife and I are in our early 30s and our mortgage payment is less than most of our friends pay to rent a single room because we worked and saved through college.

When I buy something nicer than I truly need for a hobby such as a Mountain Bike, I wait for a great price on a fixer-upper, perform the maintenance it needs, and enjoy it without getting attached, while at the same time putting it back up for sale at a higher price in case someone wants it more than I do. 9 times out of 10 the item will sell in a few months, and oddly enough I've met some incredibly interesting people who wanted properly restored items, such as a tie-dye founder whose been in business for over 50 years and an SVP at Cisco who's in charge of a product I had been using daily for years.

Here in Norway it is 5 workweeks (6 for those over 60 I think), 2 can be transferred (either way I think) and 3 are mandatory.

And if you delay two weeks to next year that means 5 mandatory weeks that year.
