So, your "free" time is on side projects, that is plural.

Two things come to my mind, are you aware of the necessity to relax and take your mind off of things to work efficiently? "Spare time" is essential for working, and in some countries you are prohibited from working on the side for that reason.

How do you feel about your side projects? Do they help you take your mind of work, or are they more work? Don't feel bad about not progressing with your side projects, if they are hobby. For me, some side projects were relaxing and helped me to disconnect from work.

My advice, limit your working hours. Your side projects count as work, if you they feel like work to you. If they relax you and you look forward to it, do them when you feel like it. But try to be honest to yourself about it. No need to impress someone with your "work-ethics", not even yourself.

People are bad at multitasking, you might overload yourself with things to keep in mind. Schedule time for wrapping your work up in writing, so when you finish for the day/week/... you are finished with it, until you pick it up again.

Prioritise: What is the point of multiple side projects?

Hey thanks for the extra reading.

I understand the example, but surely these are outliers? Banks won’t give you a mortgage without insurance, and most people do pay their insurance. So banks can’t be taking that much of a hit except under extreme circumstances. Most of the time they do pretty well out of defaults. They just take the house and sell it. They’ll only lend to you in the first place if you have reasonable collateral (again 2008 housing crisis is a lesson they learned on that) but they still ultimately got the asset + all the money paid in interest up to that point. Am I missing something?
Most of these i had heard of before, but bluetooth and network info api surprised me. Sounds perfect for fingerprinting :S

Spotify chill-hop/"music to study to" playlists are popular and people listen to them repeatedly and for long stretches of time which makes them lucrative for streaming revenue.

I know someone who runs a chill-hop "record label". Their most popular songs get on big spotify chill-hop playlists and have ~10 million spotify streams. This equates to around $50-70k USD. Most of their releases have a fraction of this but it is worth it for the odd hit.

Chinas increased investments in R&D are impressive, but where did you get the number 4.11% for 2018? As far as I'm aware, so far they've never even reached their target of 2.5% R&D spending per year.

"China continued its yearslong run of double-digit percentage increases in spending on R&D in 2019, but the nation is likely to fall short of a long-standing goal of increasing R&D expenditures to 2.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) by this year."

Nonsense, there are a lot of universities in Europe to choose from that have been around for centuries with excellent reputations that also publish world class research, rake in nobel prices, attract foreign students & researchers, etc.

US universities tend to be better at marketing because their core business is separating their students from their cash and making them feel good about that. That does not automatically translate into a better academic performance. There are a lot of second and third rate institutions that are perhaps better at their marketing than actual academic performance. Arguably the smart move for a US school kid would be to opt for the life experience, language skills and education at a university abroad instead of opting into a mortage to get an education from some local college.

There are 2 reasons postcode matters.

First, postcode is something you give out pretty willingly. If you put your postcode and dob into an insurance quote website, they would no longer be insuring based on a pool of people like you. They'd literally just see how many claims you had. And also what ethnicity and sexuality and 50 other personal, irrelevant criteria they want.

The second is that postcode is only a narrow or broad measure depending on what you're using it for. If you want to do a study on asthma rates vs road traffic, postcode is just right, anything more general and you're comparing side streets and motorways. So it makes sense for that data to be available. But wait, as the data user, I only need one more data set (say voter registration, already available) and I can literally look up you're medical history before deciding whether to hire you.

This is the issue here: data HAS to be specific to be useful. But ifs its specific its dangerous. AND data is much more specific than you realise because a few innocent sounding data points are unique to you when combined.
Are there any benchmarks available? It seems I can find very little (OptCarrot, some microbenchmarks, and some general assessments about usage with Rails), and a broad(er) overview is crucial to assess the overall performance (I suppose that you can have workloads where the performance degrades).
That could be said of USA or EU as well though.
Inside the wing is logical, it's pretty thick and planes have it there as well.
You can go along way with that setup solo, and even in big companies, but it’s not hermetic, it’s not repeatable (byte-for-byte), and it’s not easily distributable.

How is that failed? Do we have a crystal ball that says it's all over/ this virus can't possibly mutate into something deadlier? I do agree it feels "unlikely" but marking it as "failed" is just a prediction at this point.

what's even funnier is that the next prediction is already marked as "correct" even though we haven't touched 1Million global deaths yet.

So it's made in 2019, but is it about 2020 or about 2030-40? Seems unlikely that it really is about 2020 if it was made in 2019.... unless it was all but guaranteed to become true (and then I'd like to know how they avoided it).

> Most musicians sound like shittier versions of themselves live

Probably genre dependent but I would have to disagree. Live recordings are more raw and less produced - with a band that has their shit together live it's magical because there's an authenticity to the sound and level of immersion that is impossible to get from a recording at home.

When you consider the birthday paradox, and consider demographics, it probably doesn't.

If you assume that DOB's are evenly and randomly distributed over the last 100 years (1 of ~36500 values) then the probability of none of 100 people sharing a DOB is only ~87%. If you tuned for demographics the true stats would be much worse.

That said, you probably have anti-clustering aspects - parents obviously can't share birth dates with their children, and siblings can't either (unless twins). But! couples tend to be of a similar age...so, tricky.
I hope that you get her, when you do, don't tell her what a piece of shit her mother is. Don't burden your daughter with that, shoulder it yourself.

Actually, you can get reproducible tests even with randomized tests, by setting the random seed (I always do that in e.g. Quickcheck). So this is really a moot point, not a good excuse not to do random testing (or not to use QuickCheck ;-P).
For people who won't click, here are some salient facts:

this air traffic controller strike occurred in 1981

In 1955, Congress had made such strikes punishable by fines or a one-year jail term

a law the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in 1971

I grew up speaking Malay alongside English and others and wouldn’t call it any more “logical” than others I used as a kid or use now. The dual, for example, makes little sense (and is it self a loaned grammatical structure).

But a single language? In one sense sure, it’s a dream, but it would be a sad one. In my adult household, my kid, my wife and I used three and sometimes four languages continuously because some things are simply hard to express in the language a sentence may have begun with, or because we simply use a certain one to discuss certain activities or topics. Many of our friends are the same, though not necessarily with the same set. And why not?

As a bilingual person yourself I assume you do the same. You would really be willing to give that up?

===
Separately: languages are human artifacts but are barely consciously invented; rather they are emergent, so can provide insight both into social systems and even into neural systems (consider people with no way to express right/left). Or to use two of your examples: agency is quite important in English (“I dropped the plate”) compared to, say, Spanish (“The plate fell”). Just looking at this leads to experiments to see how linguistic choices affect decision making, emotion, and the like.
The Swedish report "Education and Economic Development - What does empirical research show about casual inter-relationships?" https://www.regeringen.se/rapporter/2005/12/ess-20054/ asks a similar question and starts its conclusions as follows:

"Our results are potentially contradictory. On the one hand, we have shown that the best studies which used variations in education between countries and regions – here we consider recent studies to be more reliable – indicate that there are no strong external effects from education. On the other hand, we have pointed out that there is strong evidence that education leads to improved health and life expectancy, politically more active citizens, lower crime and possibly that the children of educated persons become more productive. One explanation for these seemingly contradictory results may be that the favourable effects of education are not sufficiently strong to have an impact on economic development. It is also possible that the traditional measure of GDP is too narrow (and perhaps insufficiently stable) to capture the favourable effects."
This seems to have a problem of assuming the timeframe for the fulfillment of vague claims. For example, if the claim:

"U.N. Predicts entire nations could be wiped-off if Global Warming Not Reversed by 2000"

was made in 1989, I understand it as "we have until 2000 to work. Afterwards, the nations will be lost at some point". That seems what the source article claims too:

> governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

But what is the future point? I have no idea. The website slapped "failed" on this claim, so I guess it's 2000? That's rather useless, it's unresolved at best.

Similar story with "Prince Charles: 'Only 8 years to save the planet'", "French Foreign Minister: '500 days to Avoid Climate Chaos'", "Internet as we know will end if net-neutrality is repealed."

The last one is particularly funny, as all things, as we know them, will end one day. So it's strictly true.

Another issue is not enough claims as "awaited". For example, "'We Are At War,' WHO Head Says, Warning Millions Could Die From COVID-19" is marked as "correct", based on a prediction rather than concrete data.

Another sore one is "'Scottish skiing industry had no more than 20 years left.'" made in 2004 and already marked as failed, together with "Britain to have Siberian climate in 20 years"

On the presentation side, "link" is the most useless way to indicate forther information. Of course it's a link! But what's behind it? Source? Confirmation? Rebuttal? A little labeling would go a long way.

I like the idea, but the execution is a solid 5 out of 10.
> It's a form of validation of my own experiences,

I think this is an important one. Growing up as kids, we'd often sit next to siblings (or parents) to watch them play games, turning them into a shared experience.

I prefer watching shit on TV with my girlfriend over watching it alone as well; like you said, having someone else react similarly validates your experience.
But who is saying it has to be either or? When I have a roleplaying session (roll20 tabletop), I don’t watch streams. Some people like to watch TV by themselves sometimes. It’s simply not that different from any other type of entertainment.
There is in fact an interrupt mechanism for input devices - the host sends a request with a long timeout and the device responds to the outstanding request when it has something exciting to report, or when the timeout is about to expire. This is used frequently in low input rate devices like keyboards. Gaming mice use a high polling rate because it saves you the effort of keeping track of outstanding requests - you just report your current state immediately on every request, and the driver end can decide how often to ask you.
I would add the ResizeObserver to the list of legit APIs too. It solves a common problem that happen with some complex layouts, and it's very easy to use (and widely supported!).
> ...but bluetooth and network info api surprised me. Sounds perfect for fingerprinting :S

As you might expect, both are not supported by Firefox and Safari and work on Chrome and Edge. Same goes for battery status (though Firefox did support it throughout 2016 before removing the support), which I'd argue is one more thing websites should definitely not have access to.
I think he means there are classes that really are pointless. They're basically adult babysitting.

I found quite a few interesting history/culture/etc classes and enrolled in them. They had no prerequisites, but offered engaging material. A week in I notice... these classes don't fulfill my general education requirements--only the most fundamental, non-challenging classes do.

So I switch from classes with 15-20 students that would've involved long discussions, some research, and actual thinking, into lectures of 150 students and only 3 multiple choice tests in the entire semester.

I went to every class. Never was I challenged. They were very much "here are facts. Memorize these for the tests" classes and nothing more. Very surface level stuff. Not even any questions from the professor, and oftentimes if students asked questions, the professors would tell them to ask later because they're short on time. Just a waste of time and money.
Yeah, I think respectful treatment is key. The best talents can often pick from any job they like. Things like compensation for interviewing time or travel matters a lot. Or even things like keeping you updated on the interview process so that you know what the stages are, and not giving you some random 3 day project to reject you.
Thanks for your quick feedback.

And how do you share the context / documentation which yaml file is intended to be called by which ansible utility with which utility parameters and switches?

I ask b/c this is normally the problem I run into when things grow and I found the suggestion in the OP interesting to this regard as it adds the context while implementing, not documenting afterwards (and such documentation often becomes stale). Also documentation is often declarative (like do this, then that etc.) and it does not show the original thoughts/ideas behind a certain utility invocation.

I'd be interested to learn a bit more here, so if you could share a bit of context from your end would be nice.
