I'm a bit relieved that it's not just me and that you've described nearly to a T some of the more annoying ongoing things - missing glaring errors and omissions in emails/text (or just leaving completely unfinished sentences that I started and told myself "I'll get back to this one after the next bit") is painful and I've also found that I've kept a LOT of notes and manage a lot of my time through bullet-pointed TODO lists.

You're right that this is anecdotal and as the saying goes the plural of anecdote is not data ... but in my case the change was pretty stark - I was ok, then I was ill, then I recovered and was no longer ill but I felt like my brain was half-asleep most of the time. It sounds like you were the same.

One possible thing is that I've in the past felt a bit mentally dull during times where I haven't done much intensive physical activity. And obviously with gyms being closed and amateur sport cancelled I've only really been able to go for hikes which isn't quite the same. So my one remaining hope is that things snap back into place a bit once this is over - but who knows.

In any case I hope for both our sakes we can figure out what's going on and how it can be alleviated (if not fixed entirely)

All that shows to me is youth is liberal, which no one was denying? I'd be happy for enough for the general population to be more liberal leaning, but I can't say I'm seeing evidence of it outside of urban areas ?
Jimmy Bogard's talk "Six Little Lines of Fail"[0] is an interesting case study of all the ways things get so much more complicated when you can't just roll back a transaction if something goes wrong.

Of course it’s possible. Just look at the type signature of each function to know what goes in and what comes out. Not much different then looking at the type signature of an assigned variable.

Debugging the point free style is different though as there are no points to put your breakpoint. Think of the identity function with a side effect as a replacement for print or breakpoints.
When the federal reserve prints money you, as a commoner, don't see a dime of it. The federal reserve only transacts new capital (because its not just raw bank notes, its financial securities in general) into a select cartel of national banks.

Those banks, being private enterprise, are owned largely by the same class that owns everything else. If you own shares of the S&P 500 you own pieces of about ~two dozen banks. These are largely the banks that get treasury money which they then loan out at rates often fixed by the federal reserve in exchange for basically free money.

And the trick with that money is that the bank isn't lending philanthropically, its lending to make a profit. So using the current environment as an example you aren't getting favorable bailout loan conditions from Bank of America just because the treasury gave them a hundred billion dollars to doll out, major corporations that want to use that nigh-free money to buy back stock or buy out competition get it.

There are several branches on this tree of money flows but the economics of the last 50 years and particularly this depression from the botched COVID response only point towards the disconnect between the economy of the working poor and the economy of the owner class that gets to see the stock market hit all time record highs while the fed finally agrees to $600 stimulus checks when 50 million people are 6 months behind on rent.

And if you want to see this mechanism in action in simplest terms, the fed bought 3 trillion in securities and the stock market recovered at about 30% rates to hit all time highs again after crashing in March. That kind of recovery is unprecedented and unheard of, but because of direct constant cash flow out of the fed all the investment panic dried up because free capital was flooding investors coffers to keep buying back in with. The dozen richest men all collectively became upwards of 50% richer this year as a direct consequence. Inflation won't come close to those gains.
> Reason: You still have to type it sometimes. Like on a device you don't have the password manager on.

Assuming a standard typeable character set (letters upper/lower, numbers, symbols you can type on a standard US keyboard), you've got 92 characters. (Safe assumption given you're planning on typing this on all sorts of devices.)

Your randomized eight character password has 52 bits of entropy. Twelve characters takes it it to 78 bits. Not really enough if you're up against an offline attack.

Assuming you choose 5 random English words (which will probably take you about two seconds to type on something like a phone), you'll have a more secure password.

I agree typing on devices that don't have your password manager is annoying, but in my experience it _really_ doesn't come up that often. Yours is the exact reason I use 32 character passwords rather than the 64/128/etc some people I know use.

But 12 is.. short. The trade-off between the added security and the inconvenience makes it a pretty obvious choice for me. (And you're wrong--having a database dump full of password hashes does not "already owning that site" make.)

Typing 32 characters on a game console to log into Netflix taking an extra minute every few years is really not that inconvenient relative to the added security. And it's something like 2^130 times more secure than your 12 character password for the inconvenience it brings. Or about 1,361,129,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times (I can't actually find the SI prefix for how big this is) stronger.

Much as I'd like to switch to Elixir I see hardly any contracts calling for it right now. i.e. for every 300 or so Ruby gigs there'll be about 2 or 3 Elixir ones.

Ruby will never be Elixir or Erlang but if you can improve an existing thing why wouldn't you? Adding useful features from Elixir/Erlang to Ruby seems worthwhile, even if it doesn't get you all the benefits.

There will likely to be much work that won't be rewritten from scratch that would benefit and money to be made doing so.

Yes. Also being kind to yourself goes a long way. Once we are above the self-credit, self-blame, etc., the brain creates a positive impact to our health. Accepting the reality gracefully also helps our health, though it is not same as being kind.
So you agree with me, uniformity is important?
As someone who's in their mid twenties right now, I do somewhat relate to that. I used to hang around a lot more gaming community subreddits but I think somewhere along the lines the content shifted towards more crappy karma farming memes and other shit posts as opposed to more discussion based posts.

I barely visit /r/all anymore because most things you find there are just not enjoyable or good. There are still some smaller and sometimes even larger communities on there that are good at managing a nice balance between posts but they become more and more rare to find.

There are parallels, but mainly in the political institutions becoming so worm-ridden and disinterested in prosperity that they are at risk of toppling.

The conditions right before WWII was a party going from 2% of the vote to plurality in 4 years [0], against a backdrop of economic catastrophe. There is little risk of slow creeping dictatorship - the risk is institutions weakening to the point there is a sudden reform to dictatorship when a large group of people decide to do something different quickly without anyone stopping to design some safeguards against human nature.

Yes, but there is some middle ground between antisemitism and following what mainstream loves the a given point of time. And right now if someone dares to stick outside mainstream views this is considered hate speech, anti-XXX, etc.

Can we discuss if overweight people should pay more for sits in a plane? Can we discuss if a trans male who identifies herself to be a woman should be allowed to take part in female sport competition (box, running)? I am afraid we no longer can discuss such "uncomfortable" topics because starting such discussion of Facebook or Twitter leads to being "flagged", shadow-banned, because this is hate speech or something-foby or hurts someone's feeling.

I see this as a problem as censorship is precisely what pushes people into bubbles that cannot communicate outside and that get more and more radical. You can't have liberal democracy in a bubble society, as there is no respect for opposite opinion, there is only pushing one's agenda as soon as a given bubble wins the election. Democracy becomes just a tirrany of those who managed to win election (which means those who has more money and who has better access to media).
> Each bus makes a stop nearly every minute, making every ride impossibly long.

It's the same in London. That's why for longer rides you take the tube. Buses are for shorter rider or from getting from/to tube station.
I agree that it's fair to describe cosmologists as a species of theoretical physicist, given the long standing connection between the observation of heavily bodies and the birth of the modern physical sciences. Still the relation is rather remote.

This is such a weird statement to make.

Let's not forget how we got where we are:

There are two forces active on macroscopic scales, electromagnetism and gravity. At the turn of the previous century, there were some inconsistencies in the way how electromagnetism fit into the rest of physics, which were resolved by the theory of Special Relativity. That shifted the problem to gravity, leading to the theory of General Relativity.

Friedmann then calculated what solutions General Relativity permitted under the assumption of spatial symmetry, the Friedmann models, which form the foundation of the cosmological standard model.

Most of the things I described so far happened before we even had confirmation that other galaxies existed (Friedmann published his 2nd paper in 1924, while Hubble resolved the 'Greate Debate' in 1923 by discovering Cepheids in the 'Andromeda Nebula', nowadays 'Andromeda Galaxy'). That shifted the focus on trying to figure out the model parameters that made Friedmann's model fit reality, and we've been at it ever since.

Gravitational lensing??? Inertial mass??? Are Jovian moons supposed to be involved in that now? What are you talking about?
Macbook Air M1, 16GB, 2TB. Sold my hot, noisy, always-fan-running 16" MBP for it that was in no way faster and way less portable (obviously).

Kudos to Apple for the fast and successful transition of their own and third-party software to M1. I'm 90% native already, mere months into the transition.
I had heard of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome before (also "ME" but I didn't know it referred to the same thing) but I never knew exactly what it entailed and that its symptoms were so aligned with "long covid". I will read a bit more about it then motivate myself to go to my GP (they speak Czech which I am ok with in normal situations but for specialized things like medical stuff it can be challenging!). But thanks for this, I proably wouldn't have considered CFS/ME as a possibility were it not for your comment.
You cannot get rid of money or imbalanced voting structures in politics because people aren't going to write in laws that cut out their own financial and popular gain.
> * Each service ran in its own container. When a container/vm would run out of memory, we all didn't have to scramble to figure out who broke something. The person who owned the code for that service dealt with it. If a service started kicking out errors nobody but the owner had to be distracted.

Separate containers for multiple services owned by the same team sounds like a lot of overhead. If I want to work on something do I have to spin up a bunch of containers, with all the overhead that brings? Can I easily use a debugger across all of the code that implements a given feature?

You're talking like there was a single "owner" for each service? What did you do when they went on holiday / left? How did people share knowledge about the system?

> * The world is services. Just think about AWS and how it works. There is no such thing as a monolith, eventually you interface to services. Be it a weather API, a CI server, deployment system, a central logger, etc. Just because you didn't write all those services doesn't mean you don't have a service architecture.

Dealing with an outside service brings a lot of overhead. It's harder to debug, harder to test. When things are maintained by a separate team it makes sense to treat them as an outside service, but within the same team why would you make all that extra work for yourself?

> We had services for central logging, for monitoring, for metric storage, etc. No way would I ever want to push all that into a single service and debug a GC issue or segfault.

Sounds like you need a better language. I agree that anything that might segfault belongs in a separate service, but most of the time the solution is to not use stuff that might segfault.

> * If we had to hotfix a service, we could deploy just that service with zero concern the other services would have an issue.

How does that fit with "services only had to talk to other services from the same commit"?
A domain that is not related to tools. Law, medicine, shopping, marketing, whatever. You will sit in the intersection and be good not just at the tooling (programming) but the domain.

I hope we will se more proof assistance connected to more normal languages, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for though. :)
I wrote this several years ago as a joke, but it seems more relevant now. Here's a preview of the upcoming iCar FAQ page.

iCar2 FAQs

In what colors are the iCar available?
Space gray, silver, and gold

What kind of performance can I expect from my iCar?
The iCar version 2 performs up to 30% faster than the original iCar and uses 25% less fuel.

Where can I refuel my iCar?
iCar can be refueled at any station that has Universal Pump Type C connectors.

How do I select station presets on my radio?
There is no need. iCar's built in stereo system automatically selects radio stations based on your facial expressions when you enter the car.

Does iCar need an air filter for the engine?
No. iCar does not have problems with dirty air like conventional cars do. The iCar's engine cannot get dirty.

How can I open the hood of the iCar to service the fluids or engine components?
The iCar is unibody and therefore the engine compartment cannot be accessed by the user. Send it to an authorized Apple service center for maintenance.

How do I put luggage into the trunk?
The trunk is a slot loading mechanism. Simply hold the luggage near the trunk and it will automatically be pulled in. Keep in mind that the slot loader only accepts standard size suitcases. Dufflebags or briefcases may jam the mechanism.

How can I change to wiper blades on the iCar?
The iCar contains no user serviceable parts. Please send it to an Apple authorized service center for all maintenance.

What kind of third-party accessories are available for the iCar?
Accessories also known as Accs are available at the iCar Acc store. Only Acc which have been approved by Apple to be suitable for all ages are available at the Acc Store.

I am accustomed to driving a conventional car. How do I execute a right turn with the iCar?
Easy. To make a right turn with your iCar simply press the Cruise control button (CRS) on your steering wheel while turning the wheel to the left.

Wait a minute! There is only one pedal in the iCar? Is it the brake or the accelerator? And how do I get the functionality of the other?
The single pedal in your iCar is a multipurpose pedal. Press on it with one foot for gas, and step on it with two feet for brakes.

I would have assumed that as well, but it seems a lot of 'social norms' I thought had changed, really haven't..from racism, to sexism, to hate crimes..It really seems we've evolved very little from 100 years ago.

> I just saw a guy trying to argue that writing functional-style Java is the "new" way to write Java, and that not using functional interfaces means you're writing "old" style code.

Sounds right to me. (Of course not having first-class functions was just as bad 20 years ago, but fewer people had realised it back then).
600 Days of Practice: Keys to Cultivating Lifelong Habits
First, the issue is that you'd need to compare free healthcare in "Europe" (it varies quite a bit both in how free to how good, but ok), to what you can get on a $500k salary in the US. You don't compare the situation described, but something different.

Second, most developers don't run an independent ISV with their spouse ... If you did this in the US you'd have to further compare: $200k in .eu with healthcare with, say, $500k plus double that in business income, or $1.5m per year.

I think healthcare is going to be FAR better for you in the US. This won't be true for everyone, maybe won't even be true for most, but for you there can be little doubt.
I'll try again.

I didn't claim that all journalists suck. Please try not to fall prey to black and white thinking when you're accusing someone of it.

> We need journalism.

I agree.

> let's call out errors

I agree.

> and bad work when we see it

I do and am.

> and continue to push for better journalism and new ways of researching, citing, and reporting facts

I agree again. I didn't write "all journalists suck" but since you seem to think I did, how would it be mutually exclusive with needing journalism, calling out errors etc and pushing for better journalism? That would interest me.
By that same logic, use disposable email addresses and the password doesn’t matter? I mean, this kind of thing only holds up while you don’t care to enter any data about yourself and re-visit the site later. Those who need to be anonymous can provide junk info to junk sites, sure, but for everything else, there’s email and 2FA TOTP codes and password managers for a reason... largely because OAuth and FIDO2 aren’t universal yet I suppose ;-)
Drawing conclusions with incomplete information is irresponsible, no matter how good the intentions.
The GP shouldn't be affected by the observation period at all. Patients just sit in a waiting area after receiving the shot. At least that's the way it worked for me with a different medication.
Reddit's reflections on Instagram updated terms and conditions
With a dictionary of 10k words, you can get 1e16 combinations, which seems adequate when used with a deliberately slow hash function like bcrypt.
>The clowns that run this world frequently view gold as a problem, a threat, and they work hard to suppress its value. They also occasionally get caught doing so. If they can figure out a good way to do it, they may assault the value of Bitcoin, directly or indirectly, given the chance.

How do you feel about the theory of BTC acting as a controlled opposition to gold?

I find it interesting that the same CNBC commentators who slam gold promote BTC as "digital gold". If gold is so useless in their eyes, why is intangible "digital gold" being pushed? Despite the anti-establishment veneer of BTC, it is accepted and promoted by the MSM. Gold is still derided.

There's a parallel with the captured, walled-garden Internet. BTC's lack of usability, Mnuchin's words on self-hosted wallets all point to this so called disruptive technology being captured. Similarly, platforms like PayPal taking an interest in BTC point in the same direction.

Looks more and more like a steppingstone, positioning of goal posts towards CBDC.
Make no mistake. They're going to make an example of Ripple. This is going to be horrible for them and a warning to anyone trying to run a similar Ponzi scheme. You can't centralise, hype and then cash out on vaporware without there being consequences. XRP held zero value at the time the founder cashed out and they've been trying to make their consulting business work ever since. Dare I say XRP goes to zero. Watch this space.
the tool did work reliably. the user overrode it its safety check. i.e. imagine I chattr +i libc to prevent it from being removed, and a user chattr -i and rm's the file. whose fault is it? the user who did the action.
Here's what I generally follow (there are exceptions, of course):

1. Functions can do 90% of what you need in terms of code organization and maintainability.

2. Don't try to get functions to do more than one job. Don't try to spread one job across multiple functions.

3. Name functions using concrete, unambiguous verbs. No: handleX, doX, processX, updateX. Yes: get/setX (from/to memory), fetch/sendX (over network), load/saveX (from disk), calculateX (and return value), findX (in list).
