It’s very easy to let notetaking overwhelm the real goal— learning. I’ve had good luck putting my full attention into whatever reading material or exercise I’m working on.

I don’t take any notes until the end of the session, when I do an informal debriefing to summarize what I learned, which isn’t necessarily what I set out to learn.
We have CO2 measurements going back to 1960 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeling_Curve

Just going back to the CO2 level of 15 years ago " would be equivalent to the stone in 165,000 Empire State buildings or 66,000 Great Pyramids of Giza...a cost of $28 trillion for the United States, about $90,000 per individual" so there's no chance we'll accidentally remove too much!

Am I a less interesting person for having children? Maybe?

Please note that effort that goes into raising children isn't just dumped somewhere that may return dividends someday. You develop a lot of skills and improve others a ton by being a parent.
It's a truly end-of-capitalism† move to shift the risk burden of property ownership from the center to the periphery. I guess McDonalds does this too with its franchises, but this is so much more pure: you own the property, you figure out all the property management work, and AirBnB takes the cut. McDonalds at least sends its franchises frozen hamburgers. AirBnB is just pure toll-bridge-as-a-service.

† Not sure if capitalism will actually end any time soon, but stuff like this is what makes radicals try their best to end it.
> the goal of an interview should be to assess whether or not that person will be able to do their job...

Sure, but there needs to be some kind of careful thought about HOW to devise and evaluate candidate performance on such "assessments". It's not trivial and it's not a "solved problem".

Are all forms of stress the same? Is the stress of solving a puzzle at a whiteboard the same thing as the stress of dealing with a sh*t-hits-the-fan outage? I think not.

Some people are excellent at handling being put in front of observers who are evaluating them and keeping their calm. Others are exactly the type of people you want in a crisis. These are not necessarily the same people. Some folks are great at triage, working in emergencies and maintaining communications, others are really good at reducing the likelihood of emergencies happening in the first place-- not necessarily the same people, and they don't necessarily act the same in front of your whiteboard quizzes.

More importantly, there's no proof that these "amateur-hour" psychological evaluations to assess stress are successful in predicting actual job performance under stress. HR certainly can't do this, but technical hiring managers think they can do it just because they assume their "gotcha" questions mean anything valid.
>Here's a very non-random book I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_in_the_Twenty-First_Ce...

According to Wikipedia, that book makes the argument that economic equality will grow over time. It doesn't show that countries with more economic freedom grow slower. To copy from the "Criticisms" section of that wiki page:

"
According to Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf, he merely assumes that inequality matters, but never explains why. He only demonstrates that it exists and how it worsens.[36] Or as his colleague Clive Crook put it: "Aside from its other flaws, Capital in the 21st Century invites readers to believe not just that inequality is important, but that nothing else matters. This book wants you to worry about low growth in the coming decades not because that would mean a slower rise in living standards, but because it might ... worsen inequality."
"

>Also, do I really need to remind you that correlation is not the same as causation?

Indeed, fortunately we also have economic models suggesting such a relationship should exist so it's not just blind correlation.
If the server decides to escalate the issue to the programmer, e.g. by invoking the debugger, then yes, it would most likely hang until the programmer interactively resolves the problem (e.g. by issuing a proper restart), and only then execution would proceed.

However, that doesn't need to be the case; it is still possible to e.g. do the industry standard, which is to log all available information about the request and program state to some sort of log file or crash dumps, return a HTTP 500, and start waiting for another request. The possibility of interactive resolution of exceptional situations is a possibility, not a requirement.

It's also possible to block and invoke the debugger only in some cases, e.g. when some global debug variable is set to true. In all other cases, the system can behave automatically.
Same here. Love me some homemade bread, gotten really good at ciabatta.

It makes it hard to do anything more than 2-3 months on keto. I found that it works as advertised -- skin gets better, weight drops, generally more energy -- but it's very hard to get away from carbs. Like, you need to be DILIGENT, and even if you stay on top of it it ends up limiting your life in many ways. I could live without a lot of carbs but giving up on pizza was hard...
Agree with all.

"Airbnb is a glorified hotel room broker but with..."

That only works because the data doesn't take into account any kind of shared wealth. Large swathes of people lived in tribal communities which had different concepts of ownership and property, but were not 'poor' by any common definition from their times. GDP data completely ignored these types of societies, which formed the majority in some areas of the world before colonization. Even then, most of the escapes from poverty have happened in state-run, dictatorial China and in the newly de-colonized India, so it is very hard to imagine how some can claim Capitalism is the important factor here.

Also, capitalism without explicit social goals imposed by a state is disastrous. Just look at the USA, with one of the worse and most expensive Healthcare systems out of the developed world, despite having by far the largest GDP (the only fully capitalist-run Healthcare system in the world!).

All of this is not to mention that capitalism is rapidly destroying our planet, with global warming, deforestation,river polution, oil spills, air pollution and other woes being fought for tooth-and-nail by most large companies.
The only way I see us overshooting is if CO2 suddenly becomes a valuable resource. The atmospheric CO2 concentration changes really slowly, at the rate of several ppm per year right now, just because there is so much of it. If/when we start bringing it down we will have plenty of time to stop.

There is of course such a thing as too little, plants need some to survive. Something on the order of 150 to 300 ppm is the range it existed in for the last 800,000 years and probably a reasonable target.

Not really, it's a valid correlation that children raised well generally have better relationships with their parents.

Sometimes children are raised well and turn out to be little shits, but given that we're not drafting a scientific study in the comment section conversational generalities should be forgiven, unless you want every conversation to be so paralyzed by pedantry that no real content is discussed.
Yes, but if you're solving DA&A problems during a production outage, I'd say you screwed up your architecture pretty badly, and you're unlikely to do a better job while on the spot.

It's much more likely you're typing some bash commands or restoring a postgres database.

I've had to solve DS&A problems a few times in my career, and I've had to solve production outages, but never both at the same time.
> the only thing that dieticians are consistently against is sugar in large doses.

Not all sugar is the same. In fruit is in fructose form and "fiber bound". Refined sugar is the devil, but so are most refined products.

Fructose be absorbed by cells with little to non insulin. Also, in the company of fiber it gets absorbed slower into the blood (less sugar spike).

Finally there's the fat-sugar issue: in the company of fat (fatty blood) the muscle/liver cells become less insulin sensitive.

I regularly binge on fruit, but only when i have not eaten ANY fat yet for that day. I do this for 2+ years now and I find a lot of benefits.

You'll get 99+% of the possible wins in reducing your chance of being infected simply by avoiding being indoors with others as much as possible, wearing masks when you are unable to do so (e.g. when grocery shopping), and by staying away from large crowds outdoors except when wearing masks.

So agreed, this routine is excessive. Instead of going to all of this hassle, just source N99 masks and wear them when in unavoidable close proximity to other people. Boom, you're practically guaranteed not to get it.
It’s down to whatever works for you.

I find I memorise concepts well when there’s some kind of physicality to them, and I’ve therefore repeatedly gone for the “serial killer wall” method of note taking - in my case, it tends to be multiple A4 sheets with handwritten notes or printed reference sheets plastered on every visible surface around my workspace, using cork pinboards for more space, with an arrangement of information that makes sense to me - I like a four coloured biro for splitting out either dimensions or topics of information, and sharpie or string to link disconnected areas together. This translates well for digital applications, like coding and electronic engineering, physical applications, and more abstract learning efforts, like cramming a masters in physics, or learning a language.

Yes, you can replicate this with a wiki or hyperlinked whatever, and I sometimes do for pocket guides, but being able to fetch information at a glance is key to making that recall just happen without looking, for me.

The structuring of the notes takes an effort in understanding, in creating a landscape of interconnected information - and the structure of the notes becomes the physical representation of the structure of the information framework. I then, later, when referring to some part of some knowledge acquired this way, find my mind’s eye using that same structure to identify the relevant information.

Anyway. It really is whatever works for you, and trial and error will get you there - for me, it’s paper, pen, and somewhere to put it all.

A lot of software needs specialized data structures to perform their job.

Single board computers are numerous, mostly but not entirely at the low end, and no cabled interconnects is the defining trait of the class.

The reason we don't see as much of this in full-size desktops is because density is clearly not the objective and it would mean sacrificing the modularity and flexibility of established standards.

Or in other words, more expensive with no real gain besides aesthetics, which aren't worthless but I'd bet they aren't worth _much_ for a box which spends most of its time under a desk concealing its insides.

False Consensus Effect: Why 9 out of 10 dentists use the same toothpaste
The point about it being an aging population is that the proportion of consumers to producers will change. The demand for goods might shrink as an absolute value, but the demand for labour should increase more, as a higher proportion of the population just can't work. In addition, part of the demand which increases will be for forms of labour that we currently don't have an automation plan for.

To balance out the automation question, it's just as likely that technical advances will improve the ability of older people to do economically useful work that they want to do. There's a lot of mental horsepower, life experience, and will there, if you can work around physical and metabolic limitations.

Depends on the zone. A lot of EU cities are having problems with AirBnB hosts buying up property, driving prices up and people out of their neighborhoods. In my city, once the pandemic started a lot of new apartments were up for renting long-term, and the most likely explanation is that these were tourism renters trying to cover losses due to tourism.
The lower left (his right) section of the collar has a bit of "crunchy pixels." Otherwise, it looks pretty damn realistic.

This appears to be a "thispersondoesnotexist.com" image. Is that site considered "deepfake"?

I always assumed "deepfake" to mean altering existing images to add actual people's likenesses (like the classic "celebrity porn" images). In particular, applied to video.

This type of thing is likely to become de rigeur, for astroturf and scam accounts. Disturbing, but not particularly newsworthy.

Before, people would just scrape images from stock photo sites, or even from some poor sap's Facebook photos. Doing it this way simply makes it less likely to be uncovered.
>You don’t need to take a shower, just sanitize your hands.

This is basically my routine, if I've been out and touching things other people are likely touching then I get in, take my shoes off and go straight to bathroom and wash my hands.

Then live my life as normal.

When I get groceries delivered I wipe the stuff down I can with some wipes before putting them in fridge or cupboard.

I don't think you need to do much more than that. Mainly you want to avoid being in doors close to other people.
Since you want to quickly revise topics in a new complicated subject, I'd suggest simply slowing down and writing really thoughtful notes on the subject. Use elements of recall to really get a picture of where your understanding is at, itll help you build the lattice of your knowledge and that lattice will be strengthened when you review your notes.

I dont think cheatsheets are helpful personally. Unless you are just talking about syntax.

Also specific methods might be worth a look down the line, but initially I dont think it makes sense.

never underestimate how many people will use something purely because it has a pretty UI :)
Just my opinions:

Try to avoid getting into rote learning. I learned that way as a kid, I'll find myself writing squiggly notes just because somehow it makes me remember stuff the act of writing something.

For coding stuff I don't really have notes about "coding" more on random neat tricks/concepts(like about Git/Systemd), which means store them somewhere eg. an app that has a global search like OneNote/Evernote/Notes(Mac).

For general fast learning I recommend crash courses on YouTube eg. by Traversy Media/others.

Also using sandboxes where some code is already setup so you can have something to work from.

Generally though I think practice is what will make it stick and personal desire to achieve/build something that you want.
Thanks for your great comment. Not sure why people are only focusing on the final years of loneliness part. It was only one part and to me it was clear that you love spending time with all of your family and look forward to every second you have with them.
> So deciding to have kids, even if you have to give something up, is not some selfless or noble act

Sure, but assuming that you know the decision will lead to such sacrifices, it can hardly be called a selfish one either. Especially since the gratification of "wanting something for themselves" (which you claim it's all about) also doesn't actually manifest until later, actually after the sacrifices do.
At some point huge complexity are introduced to simplify a problem and solve for a gap or feature. Don't look at this as a burden, look it as a use case you don't require currently and this may not be the right tool for you to use.

I don't think any Greek likes them, but I think most of the problem is that each one looks different. They don't have a common aesthetic, so the city looks like you bumped your building tray and all your buildings fell over and now you can't be bothered to sort them all again.

If it makes them feel comfortable enough to go outside, I think it's fine. Like it's not like they're donning a full hazmat suit to get groceries, it's basically just shower and wash clothes which doesn't sound that extreme you do it anyways.
> you often need additional constraints, e.g. <X : Hashable> or something

in haskell:

noConstraint :: List a -> (a -> b) -> List b
withConstraints :: (Hashable a, Frobable b) => List a -> (a -> b) -> List b

you still don't have to declare `a` and `b`, you're just adding a constraint on them.

(iirc in haskell types have to start with an uppercase character, which means you can use lowercase letters for type variables without extra apostrophes etc)

I think we are mistaking Airbnb for couchsurf.

Even in the cases when I met my hosts the transaction was 100% monetary one. Not one of them, ever, offered me to stay some more free of charge - just because we got along well. And I did get along well with all of them. On the contrary, I have slept on the floor at a friends house a few nights because some of these hosts hanged me at the last moment (e.g. when they realized that my flight was coming in too late for them).

Don't take me wrong. I'm not venting here. It took me a while to realize it myself, that Airbnb is not couchsurfing. It is a market. And a hard one at that. That's fine by me but donations are not part of such markets.
That part jumped out at me, too.

> “There were wealthier people on the upper floors,” says Dragonas, “people who had just arrived from the countryside further down and poor students in the basement. That sort of vertical stratification inside a five-story building helped Athens to avoid horizontal stratification — there weren’t really neighborhoods that were only rich or only poor.

In the US before Brown v. Board, many cities were similarly integrated along racial and economic lines. It wasn't necessarily integrated within individual apartment buildings, but Blacks and whites would live in the same neighborhoods. When Brown v. Board mandated that schools integrate, racist whites, unwilling to let their children go to the same schools as Black children, fled to the suburbs, taking with them their disproportionate share of wealth and leaving behind impoverished Black ghettoes. Any Black families with the means soon made their own escape, and the downward spiral continued.

In many states, the vast majority of school funding comes from property taxes. So schools in wealthy neighborhoods are better funded than schools in poor neighborhoods, and this guarantees homes in wealthy school districts maintain their value since everyone wants their kids in those schools.

Here in Ohio, the state Supreme Court ruled that the system of public school funding relying on property taxes is unconstitutional over a decade ago, but nothing has changed.

I agree with you that economic segregation is huge societal ill. Studies show that poor folks are vastly better off when they live in economically diverse areas.
Part of the issue is getting people to wear them--properly. People like to pull them down below their nose. Again, there isn't a whole lot of data, but it stands to reason that only covering your mouth somewhat defeats the purpose.

And it follows that using a mask exclusively as a chin brace isn't helping anyone.
Hotel regulations are by and large rent-seeking behavior (irony?). For example, OTA's have created several rules that only exist to protect their profits. Hotels have to have the same price on all listing websites including their own, so it doesn't matter if one OTA charges 40% as their cut. You're not allowed to bake their overhead into your bottom line.

Despite the wild-west nature of vacation rentals like this, people often prefer it over traditional hotels. Maybe it's the free market saying all this regulation meant to entrench the incumbents has hit its critical mass.
