Very well written and it really highlights the problem with bad managers:
“... requiring workers to appear on camera all day long is horrible management. It says, “I don’t trust you to work if you don’t feel my eyes on you all day long.” But even more than that, it says, “I’m a terrible manager and don’t have the skills to know whether you’re doing your job.” ”

There are other less intrusive ways for a manager to keep track (or spy) the team. A common chat session, slack or whichever software, where people organize daily tasks, ask for help, delegate tickets and report progress. Someone participating in the chat, or keeping a log of the discussions (DPGR warning here) can see what everyone else is doing ;-)
Including Inferno and Limbo, that everyone keeps forgetting about.

I have the dm42, along with hp predecessors. The buttons are legit. Over time, hard to tell given the Hps I have are 30+ years old.
Yeah imagine police doing their job. The accused has to be read the charges and has the opportunity to make a formal statement. Does the size of the island matter in that legal case?
I haven't seen knots mentioned yet. Learning a few basic knots from different categories may only be occasionally useful, but on those occasions it can be quite valuable and rewarding. Practicing knot tying requires minimal resources, and it can be a great activity to wind down at the end of the day.
Maybe climate change could be by a sufficiently determined technological and industrial civilization, if there was some such thing. Climate change could also be solved by a magical flying rabbit, if there was some such thing.
While CLT has been certified for 60 years, I don't know how the adhesives they are using are certified for that long. The working life of common industrial adhesives is remarkably short [1]. The key is not just moisture control, but also temperature regulation.

With rigorous humidity and temperature regulation, some adhesives have an as-yet undetermined lifespan. I'm still looking for transportable passive designs without active mechanical assistance that keep humidity at or below 40% and temperature variation to within ±10° C in temperate zones.

I'm using 11CSciCalc on my MotoG7power. It's good (at least for keyboard layout and key-function -- haven't had occasion to try out its programmability for compatibility), but without the tactile feedback of the real buttons I have to visually monitor what actually gets entered, so I can't drop fully into the problem domain, not like I can with my HP11C.

It's my HP41CV that basically never gets used. Back when, I wrote a program on it, 'ampsr', to calculate ideals and then find the closest standard-value matches for a three-resistor attenuator network used as the gain-and-offset control of an opamp amplifier; it took 16 minutes for my HP41CV to arrive at the answer, and that was just selecting among the E24 "5%" standard-value array. My later Perl version, by comparison, is all but instantaneous even working with the E96 array and running on a 400MHz box. The HP41CV's programmability was great for its era; not so much, now.
The only reform that would make any difference is one that would cause lower consumption of fossil fuels, i.e. a large tax on fossil fuels. It would especially negatively impact “middle America”, as it would cause prices for everything to rise, and hence they would be forced to consume less (which is the goal), and hence it wouldn’t be palatable.

Anything short of forcing people to consume less now is pie in the sky thinking.

Ah, yes, Joe Rogan, noted white supremacist... You speak of free speech with disdain when it's our most important right.
Comments like this one are probably not helpful in the overall scheme. The people who agree with you (like me) already agree with you, and I strongly disagree with the way of thinking by the person you're responding to, especially wrt this piece:

> Then on the other side we have “normal” companies who are doing mostly “normal” crappy stuff all larger enterprises do. Clouddlare aren’t maliciously spamming people, they’re just incompetent handling their email lists.

... but your comment seems to be mostly self-serving and geared towards points-scoring.
How do we know you are the right horse? Sorry, just watched `/the social dilemma` and now I am skeptical of all information on the internet.
Make a Complaint
A lot of people in the comments are saying how they started off in Java, or C, and hated types, but eventually grew to love them.

I started off in PHP. It was wild. Anything could be anything. Refactoring was a nightmare. Our codebase was littered with mystery variables like $hold, $hold1, and $holda, which were re-used all over the place. (Granted, this two other problems entirely orthogonal to types.)

Then I got a job at a Java place. My god, it was beautiful. I could suddenly know what arguments functions were expecting, even if I hadn't seen them before. I could be instantly aware if I was trying to use the wrong variable somewhere, or pass in invalid data.

It was as if someone lifted me out of a dank cellar where I had previously subsisted on whatever mushrooms the rats didn't deign to eat, into a brightly lit dining room full of steak and pastries.
Many old buildings where designed to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Often those features have been removed as historically airflow kept things cool where today you want to maintain AC.

It’s something of a design failure of modern buildings where walking outside when it’s 80f is pleasant but inside you need AC at those temperatures.
Boil it three times in a row if you want to be really safe. Boil, wait 30s to 1 minute, then boil again.

This comes from the traditional way we handled milk as it was fresh and unprocessed.

I then let it cool as usual before washing my nose.

The Renault Zoe has outsold all Tesla models combined in Europe so far this year:

My argument doesn’t fall apart at all. Creating a “print representation”, in this case tablature, of an existing song is and should be perfectly legal. If no one was allowed to transcribe someone else’s music, be it chord charts, musical scores, or tablature, then musicians could not function unless they all played by ear and memorized everything. The issue here is that he’s monetizing the tabs, which brings into question who “owns” the tabs. Nobody does, because copyright law does not define tablature as derivative work, although lots of music publishing industry lawyers would have you believe otherwise.
Show HN: Simple, customizable, no-code website Hit Counter
Throwback time. I built a new website hit counter to count the number of visitors on your site. No registration needed, no clunky code to add, I built HitCount to be as simple as possible. Just add your image tag to your site and it automatically counts up for every page load. You can also customize your hit counter by passing query params on your image URL. Set the text color, text size, background color, number of digits, and initial count.

HitCount was built using NextJS for the landing page and a separate Node/Express+Mongo server so it can scale and update separately.

Have fun, and let’s make hit counters cool again!
Is this a joke? They’re very poor people. They don’t have choices like presumably you do.

I don't mean to be accusatory, just curious, but to which charities and charitable endeavours does that 10% usually go? It looks like it's different to tithing as Maaser doesn't end up as money for the religious institution?
Justin you don’t seem to have a grasp of the legal system in Thailand. People can write negative reviews. But there is a line which one shouldn’t cross as it becomes illegal.

Lots of people write negative reviews and don’t get into legal trouble in Thailand.

So hopefully people don’t just assume things based on imagination and get some more facts before judging the case
Well, 100mm is not that much, I suspect there is something in all that stuff that is at least that thick. Maybe the bags of excrement? That would be pretty funny.
The title threw me a bit, i was expecting an article on redistribution of existing wealth.

The thesis is that if wage growth kept pace with GDP growth, the median salary would be 102k.

Wages for the bottom 90% have stayed fairly constant, while the top ten percent have quadrupled their wages.
A lot of aristocratic stately homes are XYZ House - there only being one privately owned palace in the UK. So I think it's just an attempt to make an office block sound way classier than it actually is.

Learn any moderately complex system very well.

From past personal experience: get an old vehicle and make like new; learn linux on machine not best-suited to it; and, with out getting overly specific, gain skills by getting involved with people outside your milieu--volunteer, or get a side job that teaches you a useful skill via mentors with perspectives you do not normally encounter.

In my experience, learning a complicated system translates well to another.

Finally, and perhaps this will sound a bit life-coachy--sorry: learn to suffer, dynamically. Learn that your limits are often imagined, and that you can "put away" unpleasant feelings in order to perform adaptively within, or even enjoy, struggle. This a skill of mine that not many people have. It's probably not crucial, as people without it seem to function fine, but it does afford me unique opportunities.
I believe from my reading that it's government housing.

As in: You would are poor and qualify for housing assistance. Here is your housing.

What most people might be envisioning is more of a stipend system, where you can live wherever you want, and the government just gives you money towards rent.

I believe this is more of a prescribed housing situation.
Are you implying that the resort is suing every customer who gives negative reviews? And if so where is the proof.

If not, then it’s just a silly statement made up by you.
Windows is not an UNIX, libc belongs to the C compiler vendor.

Among my top recommended life skills that I think may help people is the ability to manage one's feelings. You can train yourself to respond to fears and anxieties in productive ways, navigating through challenging life situations without being reduced to a minimal version of who you are.

Don't take the following as an authoritative source on the subject. Use it to get started on your own path of development.

1. Meditation. It's in fashion for a very good reason. People continue to recommend it as the single most valuable practice one can adopt to improve oneself. As you grow more mindful of your feelings, you can better manage them. Meditation is a practice. You can think of it as going to the gym for half an hour and training on one single muscle. The more you train, the stronger that muscle gets!

2. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). This is a broad subject. A therapist is very helpful, if you can afford one, but own your self improvement and try not to depend on financially unsustainable counseling. Therapy is very helpful and sometimes essential. Use it to acquire life skills. The aspect of CBT that I would like to draw attention to involves the ability to manage fears and anxieties, and consequently depression, using the process of identifying cognitive distortions and reframing concerns. A great intro book to the subject is "Feeling Good" by David Burns, who recently published a sequel, "Feeling Great" after almost forty years of development since the book was published. Burns has a blog, podcast, and teamed up with product folks to create an upcoming mobile app.

3. Rest and recovery. Initially, I was just going to mention sleep, which is a very tough subject, especially when dealing with insomnia. Not resting enough taxes the system. Plan down time and protect it. Address insomnia holistically.

Be well, my friends.
You can look at the studies on PubMed.

My experience with strong types is limited-- I'd done the thing of learning some C, doing professional stuff in Ruby for several years and then discovering the ridiculous power strong types can have and doing some professional stuff in Go.

Typed Racket [1] was really a revelation to me in that regard. I'd be curious how developers with more strongly-typed language experience feel about it.

One question I've had about cement being a major source of CO2 emissions that I haven't seen addressed anywhere is that my understanding is as cement cures it does so by absorbing CO2 which is what turns it into rock.

Does this not cancel out the effect of making the cement in the first place? And if not, why not?

Would love to know if anyone has a good understanding.
I own "dev.host" and we get a ton of interesting traffic.
Did you mean to reply to me, or someone else? I didn't even mention tourist visas - just the vast areas that many people with crappy passports can travel with no visas involved whatsoever.

I also didn't mention remote work at all.

Now, your comment is also completely wrong.

"Visa fees are likely a month's income" is ridiculous, unless you're going to cherry pick the most extreme examples. Russian average salary is around 50k rub/mo, Schengen visa fees around 3k rub for Russians. You wanna pick an expensive country, like the US? OK, a 3 year multi entry visa costs 12k rub.

Saying you need a "filled bankaccount" and to be "quite rich" in your home country is also ridiculous, the guideline on Schengen visas to France is min. 32 euros a day, so you can stay for around 20 days by having about one month's average Russian salary in your bank account.

Finally, self employed people that meet the requirements do just fine in getting Schengen visas. I've had many stay with me and they all said it wasn't too tough. Unfortunately many people just don't prepare for the application properly, don't do their research, and are denied. While I agree that the process is unnecessarily opaque and confusing (and does deny people randomly at times), most people who prepare properly and fill out the application correctly will get their visa.
That's also what stood out to me. It's almost like the article was painting the hypothesis as something a lot of people who 'feel' the same way (as the author) is trying to prove it to be true without going into why do they feel that way and how much bias is in that.

Sure, technology is developing fast, but its been quite fast since just before the start of the industrial revolution or when humans started walking or farming etc. I would speculate during those times of rapid development of some of the historical civilisations there was probably just as much of a feeling of it being at a hinge as now.

It's just that right now we like to attract people's attention and creating suspense and that sense of hingeyness is good at attracting attention and there's now a lot of money to be made from attracting attention. Not just money, but you can drive political action if you give people this kind of sense of do or die urgency. This could turn the hypothesis into a self fulfilling prophecy. That's why we need better arguments against it.
Which part? The manager charging the corkage fee or taking legal action as per law?

I see every day negative reviews of places in Thailand rarely heard of anyone who got sued about it.

Edit: typo

NB. If you don’t break the law you can leave negative reviews in Thailand
Architecture doesn't create crime, but it may well look that way because we generally build the cheapest way possible when building public houses for socially-challenged people. But it's still the people that create the problems, not the building. The next generations that grows up in those buildings aren't being shaped by the building itself, they're shaped by the culture that the inhabitants create.
Learn how to take care of yourself first. That includes:
* learning to cook and prepare your own food.
* learn proper sleeping habits and make a routine that feels comfortable.
* learn to exercise - pick an activity and do it consistently with some goals in mind.
* learn to budget money and manage expenses.
* learn to groom yourself and maintain a regular cleanliness routine
* learn to entertain yourself alone - without the internet (ex. reading a book, telling a story, etc)
* learn how devices you own work and how to troubleshoot/repair them (ex. fridge, ac, oven, car)
The general theme I have is that "the things you own, end up owning you", if you are not accountable for them. Start with the things you can't get rid of like your body and then question everything else you introduce into your life to eliminate clutter.
Examples: - if you don't know how to prepare food your diet depends on what restaurants offer and you have little control over ingredients, portion size, calorie intake...
- if you pass out in front of the tv and wake up on the couch it is unlikely that you will feel motivated in the morning. Likely you will pick up McDonald's breakfast on the way to work cause you are running late.
- if you give up on exercising your body you will quickly feel powerless when you have to move something heavy.
You might enjoy Kotlin. Type inference, with full compatibility with Java libraries and ecosystem.

Similar to Rust, you can just write `val me = Person()`. No need for the new keyword.
Email is a pain to deal with and unwanted email saps attention and time from one's day. One of the reasons I use individual email aliasing for every company[1] is because I wanted to avoid wasting cumulative hours or days over my lifetime managing unwanted emails.

Lots of companies (big and small) don't unsubscribe me properly and I end up getting emails a year or two later. It's nice to have the nuclear options of deleting the alias if needed.

So yes, it's relatively minor compared to internet infrastructure products and tooling that Cloudflare is responsible for, but it's still an issue that erodes trust in a company.

Anecdotes from my personal peanut gallery: Presumably after undergoing several adversarial attempts at amateur facial reconstruction in my earlier years, I've since endured persistent sinusoidal mysery, most notably an unreasonable susceptibility to colds. I tried many rational things which failed. However, it has been a (probably) irrational concoction that I've settled on, for 5 years now. A squeeze bottle of inert saline solution is thusly squozen and drip-fed a clean, high quality Lugol's solution (liquid iodine). At times, an essential oil is added too, eg peppermint, but rarely. At the risk of excessive iodine intake, my sinuses are now tolerable. Having doubts about this plebeian prescription, I encountered in my cursory research a patent by a prominent pharmaceutical company which consisted of the same recipe, but specifically for the "decolonization" of MRSA from the nasal passages. Considering that many folks now sport MRSA in their nasal passages, perhaps there's something to it. I've yet to settle on a suitable biofilm disruptor, but manuka honey is on my list.

If anyone is reckless enough to do the same, please thoroughly research the dangers of excessive iodine first. It is easy to err.
I mean, contemporary whites criticized the above too. It is not like we found out those are bad only last year or something.

This is a good point and appreciate the leg work. I think the issue still remains that these census definitions are almost too broad to be useful in this regard.

Last year, I took a trip to Roswell NM. This is close to the population cut-off for “urban” at about 49k people. Would Roswell suddenly become NYC-like if 1500 people migrated there? The idea that Roswell and Manhattan can be in the same classification is not very useful in terms of defining policy. The lifestyle for each is widely divergent and I think they each have very different transportation needs.
Who pays the real price of deregulation, and why are government permitted to do it?
If they're not working, they don't need to be occupying more valuable locations near town

Maybe that works in the UK, but in the US, at least where I live, we have rules about the poor. You can't be getting benefits and at the same time not be going to work. You used to be able to do that, like a few decades ago or whatever, but not nowadays. If you're poor, you can not work if you want, but you won't get benefits. As soon as you sign up for benefits where I live, they will assign you work, and your new employer has to keep them informed of your performance. Most states would call it something like "work-fare", or "w2", or something like that. There may still be states where you can get benefits without working? But I'd imagine there aren't too many of them, if any.
> 2. When you want to implement a method which applies to multiple libraries, you end up writing `fooString`, `fooInteger`, `fooDatetime` etc (or foo(String), foo(Integer)) etc. DRYing is too hard. So you end up writing 10x more methods

This is only a problem in typed languages without generics (like go) or without sum types (like go). With generics, the compiler takes care of writing fooInteger, fooDatetime, etc. With sum types, the compiler verifies that you’ve handled all of the cases in your foo function.
