> In the same image, the pedestrians up top do have crisply drawn features

The are supposed to have them, in order to match the figure where the joke is.

Larson jokes are in big part visual jokes: he draws intentionally so that a reader has to "look around" in the picture until he "gets it." And that is what makes the "click" and that deep "ooooh" effect.

For that to function the "level of attention" has to be "manipulated". The cars in the front are allowed to be "out of focus" but the part of the picture "in focus" should not "give out" too soon the gag.

So the cartoon functions correctly, the "direction" inside of the cartoon is brilliant. The cartoon is however, I admit, more "raw" than what would be expected from some kinds of products (e.g. it's not something that would end up being in an ad, for example, exactly because some people have some specific expectations). But it's the real Larson and everything is where is should be. And he also wrote that he's "just exploring, experimenting, and trying stuff."

Plot it out, the data points are not all equidistant. There is a huge drop-off after Massachusetts / Rhode Island.

While Florida is "ranked almost exactly at the midpoint", it's because it's part of a cluster of data points that have almost the same deaths per M.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...

Washington and below all have close to equal death rates, and marginal differences are probably hard to attribute to any specific set of policy. This, of course, should not detract from the commendable numbers we see in Utah, Hawaii, Vermont, Texas, Oregon, etc.
Vscode has a nice journal plugin that uses a simple year month day directory structure, has convenient actions like open today, tomorrow and yesterday.

I'm curious as to how to implement this ?

I mean, i currently put everything that needs doing into org-mode, clock in on the task when i'm working on it, and clock out when i'm done. Mark the task completed, and archive done tasks daily to an archive file.

I guess that's the limit of my daily "todo" activities. It's mostly in point form "x needs doing", "request confirmation from x", "send status on project x to y".

If i'd have to do it in a "daily file" i have no idea how to structure it. Todo'ish lists probably wouldn't work. They're either done or they're not.
I guess it would have to be more like "short stories".

I've worked with innumerable people like this over the decades. The thing is, they're usually not phoning it in. They're really trying hard. They just suck. It looks like they're working hard, because they often show up early, stay late, ask a lot of questions, and produce a lot of output.

It's hard to fire them, because to many outsiders, they're workhorses. They know just enough to scrape by on each task, but they also have institutional knowledge and social connections that make them seem invaluable. Often that institutional knowledge is that they're the only person who understands their own shitty code. Their more-capable peers usually know that they're incompetent, but management doesn't.

There are many reasons people like this can survive. Peers don't want to explicitly throw them under the bus. The best of their peers simply move on--to other projects in the same company, or more often, to greener pastures at another company. Their peers cover for them, because it's easier to work around a millstone like this than it is to get them removed. It takes months of concerted effort to get a peer fired for underperforming. If you want to try to get someone like this fired, it starts to look like you're the asshole with a personal vendetta. Especially because they've been there for a decade and you probably just arrived.

These millstones aren't outright incompetent. On paper they've got extensive experience. Socially they're well-regarded by everyone at the company except their immediate peers who know they suck. They've been faking it and faking it well since long before you arrived, and they'll be doing it long after you've departed.

Make no mistake, though. These people are rarely phoning it in. They are busting ass to tread water. Sometimes they believe their own lies, but more often they are terrified that someone will find out just how bad they are. That's why they work so hard.
As Sri Lankans, "Curry" for us would be a dish made by mixing a variety of powdered spices with coconut milk and made into a sauce. If this sauce is cooked along with chicken it's called chicken curry and so on. But it has to be a dish made out of coconut milk and spices.
In Everett interpretation wave function actually exists. As actually as you can get. Well, quantum state exists, wave function describes what is the state. There's a physical object described by mathematical formula, this relation is called physical meaning.

> Refusing to use version control is a prime example. The industry as a whole has unanimously decided that version control is necessary, but he still argues that his backup of an entire directory that he does once every 2 months is more efficient

For what's it's worth, a lot of people who use version control treat it as a backup system instead of as a record of logical changes to the code base with a detailed description of what has changed and why.
> There's still a high number of items from various in-house brands from Florida department store Bealls (namely Coral Bay, Reel Legends, and Dept 222)

Looking at the chart, it appears these 3 brands were all in the top 4 most commonly sold (or at least available for sale) brands at Goodwill in by 2019, and they've been in the top 10 or so for years. I can't imagine organic amounts of resale from a Florida-only department store chain could account for this. So is Bealls just straight selling their old stock to Goodwill for cheap? Or maybe even giving it away as a write-off (and to reduce cost to store items they don't think they'll ever be able to sell). I wonder how much of Goodwill's stock actually comes from things like this, as opposed to houseful donations.

Frankly, we all collectively should be downright ashamed of Trump being the leader of the most influential country in the world, the fact that this happened is a terrible strike against this particular form of democracy. The damage done will take decades to repair, and likely America's reputation in the world will never recover to the point that it was at before Trump pulled his coup of the Republican party.
Nonsense. You even contradicted yourself, first writing that disbarment is "quite literally the permanent revocation of your license" after which you start to describe how you think reinstatement works.

"Permanent" and "disbarment" don't go together the way most people assume they do. When the public reads that Attorney Bob got caught doing Bad Things and was disbarred, they assume that down the road if they hire an attorney (or receive PD services), the Bad Guy is not in the running.

A 2007 paper titled "Should Permanent Disbarment be Permanent?" published in The Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics provides a good overview of just how impermanent 'permanent disbarment' is.

Its author found that "Five states mandate that all disbarments be treated as permanent. Eight states allow for disbarments to be permanent in some situations. In these states, when disbarment is not permanent, readmittance can either be applied for in seven years, five years, or at any time, depending on the jurisdiction. . . . The remaining 35 states and DC have no procedure for permanent disbarment." Of course, there's also the matter that not all states have 'disbarment in any other jurisdiction' as a disqualifier. Disbarred? Maybe it's time for a move?

Joseph O'Malley is best known for his 2013 "indefinite disbarment" after the now-former prosecutor was charged with nine violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct arising from his improper influencing of a judge, and his August 2011 convictions in an Ohio federal court for misprision of a felony and making a materially false statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of the federal government. O'Malley's 2013 disbarment generated a lot of press. Know what no one reported anywhere? That he was reinstated in 2016. He was recently appointed as public defender for a cop who was arrested for OVI. (Adjudicated not guilty on that charge.)

As a practical matter, the number of reinstated lawyers each year is not even remotely close to as low as you claim. I just now looked at the data for a handful of states and I'm already way over your upper end. It's more like "In any given state, annual figures are in the single to low double digits" — with a few much larger outliers.

I can't answer your questions, but I'll add this:

1. FB owning both Instagram and WhatsApp means that it's almost impossibly for me to escape their grasp as a 'regular person'.

2. even avoiding FB itself is difficult. From apps that use the FB SDK to like buttons infecting many sites I visit, FB gets to track my behavior. That seems like abuse, or monopolistic.

I can't see a practical way to avoid FB in my day to day. That's definitely a duck that quacks.

It brings my heart such great joy to know that there are people out there like you who are willing to argue about trivialities that don't actually matter.

Not everything is a deep philosophical discussion that needs to get down to absolute true statements.

I literally don't give a single shit about absolute ethical principles.

Ah. I think it's an example of how you and your employer use different frameworks to attribute value to what your co-worker brings to the table.

Whereas you put focus on aspect such as maintainability, readability, adaptability, testability,... of the code he's writing, your employer might simply keep him around either because his code, well, simply "works" to a degree that is satisfactory, or because of a complex interpersonal relationships which have been established over decades turning him into much into a fixture.

Put more succinctly: No one wants to know what goes into making a sausage.

That is, there's little value in explaining or arguing the fine technical details of code optimization, architectural design, functional programming, etc. etc. etc. if you don't consider your audience.

Stakeholders who rely on your co-worker's work simply want to know what his work could mean to them, and how it helps them get the job done. Your concerns regarding code quality are totally valid, but unless you, as the maintainer, will be fully perceived by your employer as a formal stakeholder in your own right, your objections risk being thrown in the wind.

At that point, it's not just a co-worker issue, it becomes a workplace culture issue. If there's a dissonance in the manner in which he's held accountable for the quality of his work by the team on the one hand, and management on the other hand, then how does that same dissonance affect how your own work gets perceived?

If he gets to scrape through, does that then imply that you're putting the bar for yourself really high, whereas you could clearly get away with doing less? Or are you trucking on despite the fact that your work is held to a different standard because there's a different expectation towards your own performance?

I think striving to "improve" or "become better" is something that only means anything if you do it for yourself first and foremost. Because that's what you want for yourself. It's a valid pursuit to want that for yourself. Whereas you have to be mindful that few people selflessly care about that desire and go out of their way to let you self-actualize that. After all, your job is first and foremost a business deal between you and your employer, and the primary reason why you are there is because your employer feels there's value in what you bring to the table.

If you work in a group, it's equally important to understand how to compromise on where you set the bar for yourself and others. Of course, in your case, you don't want to compromise on what you want for yourself to the point where you start to cross personal boundaries, lest you want to end up resenting the entire situation.
Well, ISTM that science has had a pretty good run in politics, especially relative to the rest of history - but now, particularly in the US, science based governance is well and truly out the door.

Why is this? In my opinion it’s because science has rejected people’s subjective experience for too long, to the point where science has become just “someone else’s opinion”. I can think of three examples From the past decade, off the top of my head.

Gluten make you feel yukky? Nonsense, said Science, only people with celiac disease can be gluten intolerant... oh wait, there are other types of gluten intolerance? Who knew?

Qualms about GM? Nonsense, said Science, what we’re doing is perfectly safe... oh wait, GM crops can unexpectedly spread into non GM paddocks, ruining a bunch of farmers? Who knew?

Prefer organic food? Nonsense says Science, pesticides are safe and harmless... oh wait, all the bees are dying from Neonicotinoids? Who knew?

It’s not that there is anything wrong with the scientific method, but scientists who run around and demean people’s subjective view of the world - right or wrong - have IMO really contributed to the current crisis of faith in science. People’s subjective opinion and experience must necessarily be taken into account, since that’s part of their lived experience and what we are here to explain. You don’t have to believe everything people tell you, but you do have to listen and be tolerant.

It’s like a special application of Goodhart’s law, “if we haven’t already seen it, it doesn’t exist”. As a huge fan of the scientific method, this attitude makes me very sad.

> a mode of transportation that doesn't leave you sweaty or needing time to recover.

Around here (in the Ohio River Valley), the temperature in the summertime routinely gets to at least 90° and the humidity never really drops below 70%, just standing around outside is enough to leave you sweaty and needing time to recover. Walking around for an hour or more is a challenge, and I usually need a shower and a change of clothes afterward.
