Yes, sorry, should have clarified that. Although generally speaking HCM/HOCM is not a rare disease either and definitely not a negligible cause of non-traumatic mortality cause in younger people.
I always start with a casual phone call to gauge their style and personality, and to gauge how well they understand the challenge. If it goes well and there's a spark, I reach out with a custom statement of work based on notes I took during the initial call, and we formalize terms, budgets, etc. to fill in the blanks. That almost always ends with a digital handshake by the end of the call and I start on the work immediately.

In a meeting and a half I understand the problem, their understanding of the problem, their personality and work style, and specific terms.

This is exactly how I felt reading the book. If the innermost story were extracted into a standalone work, it would be excellent, even more so if it were expanded upon. All the outer frame stories were painfully uninteresting to me. I'd suggest finishing the house story and just skipping the rest, as I felt similarly to you and got nothing out of the rest, but really enjoyed the house stuff.
I built devmark.io a couple of years ago but it never took off - never went beyond a Chrome extension. It is a bookmarking tool designed so it didn't feel like you were collecting urls - you'd save them and rely on the search function (which isn't that advanced unfortunately - postgres full text search). I still use it myself but hosting costs about 300euro every year so it's a questionable investment from my own point of view.
I don’t understand all the mock outrage; memes are already illegal in most cases at any size and copyrights are currently being enforced with takedowns in some cases. It seem like the title & text is trying to be intentionally inflammatory. It’s already illegal to use someone else’s image without permission, unless you’re covered by fair use (which memes are not automatically). Memes just happen to not be very enforceable by anyone who’s not a large corporation. The text seems to suggest that Germany is proposing an exemption to copyright infringement when the images are small enough. Isn’t that a good thing, and more freedom than internet memers have right now?
Yep, often when we don't find the energy and motivation to do something, there's something wrong that needs fixing. Depression, the work being pointless, FOMO and other desires that should be addressed. Work as escapism ("start sloppy until the task has all your attention") works sometimes, but it's not really victory over procrastination nor even desirable.
I wonder how that plot would look like if they separated individual US states and also considered trade between them. I'd guess the big three (California, Texas, New York) would dominate quite a bit there as well.
I had never heard this of this guy before, but looks like I’ll be digging into his catalog. Some really incredible stuff. I read Townes Van Zandt (a great songwriter, himself) considered Mr. Olney among the greatest music writers who’ve ever lived [0]. On the level of Bob Dylan. Some high praise, indeed.

His passing reminds me of Dick Shawn [1] who, similarly, died on stage. Because he was a comedian known for outrageous irony and meta jokes, people actually thought it was part of his act. You may remember him as Lorenzo Saint DuBois (aka LSD, or Hitler) in Mel Brook’s original The Producers.

However, the search "full-text" did not work all the time. I used to get some server-side error.
As a bookmark only tool, it still works excellent almost all the time.

This is sloppy philosphy. Symbolism is clearly defined, but "actual meaningful moments" is a culturally subjective term without actual meaning.

Furthermore, symbols are largely how our species interprets and experiences reality.

Symbols provide meaning. Without them, moments are mere streams of phenomenon.

I still don't think it's worse than a slow, painful death (e.g. some types of cancer). One that occasionally gives you hope, and then plunges the patient into yet another deeper chasm, until there is one from which there is no return.

In my country, the majority religion is Lutheran, and the church has a liturgic prayer which includes a line like "save us from the wicked sudden death", with the idea that people should be able to say goodbyes to their loved ones, arrange their lives and possessions and get their last rites before death; I think that is somewhat outdated by the availability of modern social security (like, a father/mother who dies does not need to agree about who cares for his/her children so that they don't starve). And it looks like deaths are slower than before (people live older, but still, the last years are long and may not be so good).
Wow, that is an amazing experience. Did it change your perspective on religion at all?
So if someone bought 3 BTC in say 2015 for $200 each, they now would have roughly $25,000.

If I understand right, they could then use that without paying any taxes on all transactions under $200?

I assume you would still have to account for that somewhere? Even if only in your personal accounts, in case you do some larger transactions or trading. For example if you decide to sell $5,000 of your BTC for US dollars. That now becomes a capital gain tax. You need to list the date you purchased it (date in 2005) & the date you sold it (now).

Your accounting software or books would still need to keep record of when you bought/sold/lost/used BTC though to properly mark which ones are long term gains and which are short and which were used for small transactions.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Baby and adult brains 'sync up' during play
I don't. I arrived to the conclusion that just collecting everything I find interesting doesn't make sense if I never consume the resulting collection.

When I see something that could be related to a project I have, and I know that I will check it in the near future, I save a copy of the web content to OneNote. But mostly I stopped caring about bookmarking/saving everything that I find interesting.
> except that the tags are not going to be optimized by the compiler

These strings should all be === at least if they are compiled together (the JITter could even intern them to make sure), I believe -- so it will typically be a single 64-bit ptr compare whether it's a string or int. Only in the case where you're constructing the DU tag at runtime for some reason would you need to compare the strings.
Stop Hiring Data Scientists
I've become a massive fan of PowerShell. Getting used to using TAB-completion helps immensely, as do the aliases like you mentioned.

For TAB-completion I use MenuComplete instead of the default (Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function MenuComplete) as it gives you IPython-like completion menus. With something like posh-git, it's amazing: you can type git checkout and then press TAB and have an interactive menu of the branches you can switch to; or if you've done a 'git status' you can then do git add, press TAB and you get a menu that intelligently shows you what files you might want to add.
> There is a variant of FreeBSD with terrific graphics support, and although limited to just one hardware vendor, there’s no doubting its popularity: it’s in every PlayStation 4.

And since FreeBSD is not GPL-licensed, it has exactly zero relevance as it means that no "lambda person" can use it, write code against it, etc... without paying the 2500$ of a devkit.

Sony could write their proprietary drivers for any OS - just look at nvidia which uses the same driver with just a microscopic shim across linux and windows.
It's bad to rely on national champions like Boeing. Like Blackberry and Nokia, their pride leads to their eventual fall, taking out thousands of jobs with them when an upstart from outside (Apple) surges ahead. Better to have multiple smaller active competitors.
This is why I love `for` loops, and why I hate functions that accept functions as arguments.

I always get nervous when “refactoring” shows up on the backlog and then gets deprioritized. In my mind it should never show up as a separate task and then it should never get ignored . It should just be a normal part of the workflow for professional development that gets done without much fuzz. Most long term technical debt can be reduced a lot by proactively refactoring small things that for some reason don’t work well.

When I worked closer to production the people at the workshops also cleaned and repaired their equipment every evening, crunch time or not. They didn’t just let their machines die long term because it may buy some time in the short term to skip maintenance.
Propaganda. Teenagers are not intellectually equipped to decide such complex matters for themselves and can be easily swayed into making decisions that are bad for them. The frontal lobe is not fully matured until around age 25--the monsters who push propaganda know this--get them young, fill their heads with bs indoctrination, and then you have them for life. It's the communist playbook! Anyone that takes two seconds to think about Greta Thunberg knows what's going on there.

Why do you think 18 year olds are conscripted into armies? This is sad, but communists refer to it as "the children's revolution" or some such, it's a long-time tactic that they have used many times before, look it up.

It's pretty consistent for Time Magazine to name ol' Greta Person of The Year given their previous adulation for Adolf Hitler. Great judge of character that magazine is.
Interesting choice to use 1993 as the start for the comparison of Germany's trade surplus: https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/balance-of-trade
I can't speak for all governments, but in the US the National Archives has responsibility for recording the things the federal government undertakes on behalf of the people. This includes even the tapes Nixon made of his own conversations as President.

The guiding principle the US government operates on in this context is "When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property" (Thomas Jefferson). There are plenty of ways the fed falls short of the goal, but the goal is set.

... and I don't think anyone's talking about "handing over the keys for all citizen data being open to said government." But we are talking about avoiding having common practice for private citizen information stored in servers owned by a third-party private corporation becoming "It's stored in such a way that nobody, not even the third-party private corporation, can ever access the data without a key the private citizen can throw away." There are some good cost-benefit discussions to be had about whether that should be a thing commonly offered (even if an individual can build it themselves).

To give a concrete example, imagine if Epstein's data on the human trafficking he conducted were impossibly ciphered now in an iCloud backup he made. Does that benefit society? And more practically (regardless of larger ideal morality questions), is it a good PR look for Apple if their tech made it easy for him to do and when the fed comes knocking on Apple's door to retrieve from Apple's servers a dead man's documents that could bring justice for sex-trafficked children, Apple's response was "Sorry; we don't have enough computing power to help you?"
How to Write Good Code Documentation
I don't know what university you went to, but there are such things as bad universities. Just like there's such things as bad Internet courses.

However, the university I went to, could be classified as "No-Name" and I use what I learned in school almost everyday. In fact, I used K-maps to help a senior engineer struggling with a complex logic problem by simplifying it. The CS fundamentals I learn prevent me from writing ugly code and at least give me a sense for what's slow.

I also went to a university with a built in co-op education program where you got credit and paid for being an intern. And let me tell you, most companies treat interns like shit. They sometimes don't even bother having them do anything besides mediocre grunt work. My intern experience was not the greatest and arguably worse than my college experience. Most the time I was left on my own having no idea what to do and spent most of it reading programming books. Whatever "real-world" skills I picked up, like doing actual projects, was moot.

But again, it's mostly relative. So making categorical statements like "universities are useless" and "credentials are for cheaters" doesn't really help and certainly doesn't speak the truth.

You’re overthinking it. Create a private key. Protect that key with a pass phrase. If you change your password, you’re really changing the pass phrase.

> The messages also end to end but the backup contains the private key.

Should this even be called E2E? I suppose it is, technically, but clearly not in spirit.
Maybe this is me being out of touch with modern deployment, but that is absolutely not what my impression of "on the server" means. My mental model is that of a client, whatever software is under my control, and a server, which is whatever my client connects to. "Encrypted on the server" then means that at no point is the plaintext data visible to any part of the server.

If Apple splits up the server into a web server and a storage server, then uses "encrypted on the server" to refer only to the storage server, that is entirely disingenuous.
You made a very good looking full-stack application. I take it quitting to accomplish this really helped?

By the way, Germany is one of the top 5 exporting countries since decades, so this has little to do with the Euro:

The original Adreno GPU was a blend of Qualcomm's never-productized QShader architecture and AMD's handheld GPU, which was based on the original XBox GPU. The programmable shader core came from Qualcomm and the fixed function blocks came from AMD.

The Bitboys folks were terrific, both software and hardware, but they were not the only people working on this, or even the majority IIRC. I mis dearly working with them.

Eventually, this combination of former Bitboys, AMD and Qualcomm folks, working from different sites around the world and with vast cultural differences resulted in a lot of internal politics and we lost many great people.

May as well ask here: do air purifiers have meaningful health benefits for generally healthy people? I get that you change the filter and it's filled with grey muck and that's gross, and that the filters change particulate content in air, but is there good evidence that doing those things improves health if you don't already have some sensitivity to air pollution or live in a highly polluted area?

I don't know if "Lung India" is a great journal, but the "Efficacy of indoor air filters" section of this paper [1] doesn't offer much support. All studies are pretty small and focused on people with asthma or pet allergies. The few studies of populations without such conditions show what look to me like minor improvements, e.g. a ~5 mmHg drop in blood pressure. These aren't super strong studies though.

The argument that pops up in pro-air-filter pieces draws a line through "air pollution can be a big health hazard" (true), "air filters reduce some particulate content in the air" (true), and "air filters improve health" (unclear). But the "big health hazard" conclusion seems to come from intensely polluted environments, like poorly-ventilated homes that use kerosene, or areas with lots of smoke. For a generic first-world home I can't find much evidence.

Amazon commingles inventory, so if there were any other sellers of the item, you get an item from a random seller, not necessarily an item that was provided by the seller you purchased from.
No tax loss harvesting either though, which for most people I've talked to seems to be the better value.
Dapps to Help You Get More Done
Well, some video games, those based on a historical model of actually shipping physical games. But successful video games these days can literally run for decades, either directly (as Warcraft) or as a series (like Madden NFL). Plenty of things that are intended to be one-and-dones also evolve, like Stardew Valley's audience demanding multiplayer.

Even the code you mention isn't a great example for your case. In theory it was throwaway, but now that it's out there, you can bet that plenty of people will be touching it. And you're also ignoring the path not taken. This beloved game didn't get a sequel, despite plenty of demand. If the code were in better shape, might it have had one?

Seagate had their problems too around that time.

The Barracuda 7200.10 was infamous not just for its bug but also for Seagate's response.

From what I recall, the SMART log wrapped around periodically - if the drive was reset when the pointer was at a certain value, it failed to boot with an assertion failure. 1 in 128 chance of a failure on a given power-up.

Thankfully someone found out that you could send a couple of debug commands to it with an FTDI cable and get your data back.
Those are generally on the books because they are unenforced, so nobody even thinks to remove them. Were they enforced, they'd be struck quickly. Sometimes that even happens.

Are the ones in Germany enforced? Honest question, I don't know, and I'm interested in the answer.

While Apple doesn't force its users to use iCloud, they also don't provide an alternative way to do full backups of iOS/iPadOS devices over a network. Yes, you can plug an iPhone into a Mac, but that doesn't scale.
When a merchant account is opened, it should be possible to accurately identify an individual responsible such that civil/criminal charges can be filed against him. Anything short of that will end up with a new account opened the next day, and it doesn't matter the platform.

I actually prefer the current chaos to something like Youtube where they have given rights owners an (practically) unappealable veto over everyone's content. Yes, I know that 98% of the strikes are probably correct, but some are completely bogus and others are exploiting fair use correctly.

Add them to a journal I keep. They become part of my day's activity.

I don't use the web browser bookmarks for "keeping" anything. Web browsers have a tendency to "misplace" them for all sorts of reasons. Brave on ios recently destroyed all my favorites I had on the empty tab screen when I recently applied an update. Glad I had them in my journal.
