I think issues are a lot less complex than you think.

From anecdata, it simply looks like the burden of government, extended family, and increasing QOL costs, is much greater than ever on childbearing age men & women, for those living in developed countries. For example, men and women only started to take 10-30 year debt to buy a house, or to become a nurse...in the last 50 or so years.

Thus, there are far fewer resources (including testosterone!) for child-rearing.

Take for example what psychologists say about males being less fertile when they make less money than their partners, for example.

Not having an opinion on whether this is good or bad.
It just seems to be true.
I'd venture that the parent was talking about engineers "documenting" their work for managers, whereas I think you mean documentation for other engineers. Very different audiences and thus different things to say. (And widely different lifespans for the information.)

The latter no doubt is hugely useful (I'm on a long slow effort myself to get my co-workers to document their work more robustly). But writing status reports for managers/PMs on a weekly basis is, in my not so humble opinion, a complete waste of time for the company, and a sign of poor organization.
In the US public schools I'm familiar with, they had strict rules about hair color and length, dress codes and rules about piercings and tattoos.

I am very happy to hear that it has made such a big difference to your diet! That's what we're here for and it great to have our thesis validated because lots of people didn't think it would actually go there.

I am a veterinarian and recruiting is way more straightforward. You’re not going to test the person on the spot. It’s way more about personality fit, what you like/dislike to do, and where you see yourself a few years later down the road. And then a real paid tryout.

Also I just changed jobs and was able to write code quickly because they were recruiting with tasks in mind for me. Sometimes it feels like the position is just opened to have more velocity on the sprints.

That's a pretty good idea. Has anyone explored the option of disallowing friendships and romance? I think kids waste far too much time socializing and pursuing young love. That's a tremendous amount of wasted study time.
I've worked with similar problems for agricultural mapping from drone images. You would need to build a BRDF model for the different colour channels for various types of materials, then assign the material based on a combination of best representative models. Then you can re-render with uniform normal lighting.
I regarded a uniform as one of the reasons to choose a factory job over an office job, since I would not have to make any clothes purchasing decisions or wear out my own stuff. Remote work is even better -- I got to have my cake and eat it too.
Correcting falsehoods isn't making excuses.

I would want to know why the police didn't set up a safer perimeter or have spike strips. They have resources volunteers don't. But they have a moral duty to protect other people when they reasonably believe lives are in danger. And people there believed their lives were in danger.

What I might say in another situation is irrelevant anyway. Someone can be right for the wrong reasons.
When most of my coworkers either work for FAANG or have in the past and many have a net wealth into the millions, it’s a choice to live away from the office.

Even then, you have a choice. You can live with roommates or downsize your apartment to live closer to work. That’s just how it works. It’s still a choice. It’s not like there’s 0 available options for software engineers in most any major city in the US when it comes to living near work.

Permanent WFH means you’ll never see your coworkers in person. You will not live anywhere near each other. Again, if you have no interest in seeing the people you work with then fine. But for those of us who like to create bonds with our peers, who want to know everything going on in a company, and want to climb the ladder fast... it’s gonna suck. You won’t get that in a remote company unless it has a truly radical culture.
Yes, I noticed the same. Due to health reasons I had to control by salt and sugar to the extreme. If you do it gradually your adapts to the new levels. And now the previous normal seems to excessive.

Thanks for this reply.

The Cheetos idea was good indeed. But this is a 1B$ company. Where i work we turn about 7M$ around a year. We're not going global and we're not delivering software. We're an MSP.

I intentionally left out those facts that we're not ever going to operate on a global scale, and that we're not from the US, rather Sweden with 9M inhabitants. The reason i left this out is because i wanted to question the "truth" that a diversified workforce is the always the best. I'm not saying it isn't important, but I'm also not saying that it always is.

I'll add Ijeoma Oluo to my to-read list, i hope you got my point though. WHY is something true, when you know the why you also know when it is and isn't applicable to your situation, giving you the upper hand.

Cost is a big part of the problem. The cost of publishing papers online is very small. Sci-Hub is the proof of that.

Yet access to many papers costs about US$35 per paper. Many researchers (including students) can't afford that. Nor can the general public. I understand that none of that income goes to the authors - they don't benefit from their own work. That was the whole idea behind copyright.

The publishing house set-up is a dinosaur.
Had the same experience. And every time I get to eat junk food the healthy food becomes bland again until it re-normalize. Just make you think how much sugar and salt these junk foods contains...
Of course, literally speaking, the law doesn’t prevent any behavior, it simply deters it.

I think the reason why we see these things still happen is because the laws are broad, continually improving, and education is administrated at a local level so you have different organizations rediscovering the same social issues over and over.

No, sorry. Poor choice of phrasing. That as the maximum number of bottles I reached since I started to keep track. That’s number is from 2017. We had a few big parties in 2017/18 that cut that number down.

LOL, yeah right.

"WHAT?!There are still BITS OF PLANT IN THIS HOLY MUSTARD! BLASPHEMER! Knights of Lord French, SEIZE HER! 'Stone ground'?? WHAT HERESY IS THIS?! The Book of French's, Chapter 8, Verse 3 clearly states, 'Our Lord French, who blessed the world with bright yellow smooth mustard, hath decreed all other mustards to be a blight upon the world!'

You will face trial by hot dog eating contest. Lord French will judge your pitiful soul..."
Sorry, my question wasn't very clear. I guess what I meant to ask is whether this works when eating food that doesn't have as as much acid as a straight lemon. Sounds like the answer is yes.

Also, tangential, but I think the advice to brush your teeth right after is not right. Not a dentist, but IIUC, after exposing your teeth to acid, the enamel is in a weakend state and then the abrasion from brushing will do more damage. Rinsing with water would be helpful. Brushing before can also be helpful since the fluoride temporarily protects the enamel.
Tim Hayward and Covid: 10 days on life support
This is a CV (résumé) creator aimed at academic types with publication lists.
I wrote it to scratch my own itch, because it’s a bit of a pain keeping this stuff organized so that I can pop out an updated CV when I need one.

You can maintain a collection of CVs with different information, in different styles, for different purposes.

You can enter your publications one at a time, or upload a BibTeX file if you have one. You can export all your data, including your pubs translated into BibTeX, whenever you want. You can control what publications are listed on what CVs, and how.

You can share the PDF of your CV using a URL with a hash, that you can “revoke” if needed, or update while keeping the same URL.

It’s a bit complicated, because the job that it does is complicated. But I tried to guide the user with help tips where needed.

Right now it looks like crap on small screens, but it works.

Designed to load fast, with very small downloads. Works without JavaScript, but I use a little to smooth over the interactions.

It uses Django, Postgresql, and XeLaTeX, and a little htmx.

All criticisms or advice welcome!

More specifically, git dates are unsigned timestamps with an epoch in common with Unix timestamps.

The big difference is that Unix timestamps are signed and have no problem whatsoever backdating to 1776.

They are equivalent. The only reason you find it problematic that a sequence of bytes is "invalid" (read: can't be decoded in your preferred encoding) is because you've manufactured the problem.

In the end, the only layer at which it really matters whether your byte sequence can be decoded is the font renderer, and just being valid utf-8 isn't good enough for it either.

What if we're not building software and not operating on a global scale? Is it equally important because of ethics or is it just when a different perspective might be useful once going global?

None of the Harvest Moon games did things 100% right - even Eric Barone said so. The core idea was great, but it always felt as though Natsumi didn't fully appreciate what they had on their hands. It was as if businessmen were directing the games, rather than true fans who were in love with the Harvest Moon concept.

And then Eric came along - a true fan - and knew how to make everything right.
Hah. I like the liberal characterization.

I'd definitely try the Greek yogurt effect with wozi.

But I can't help but think that with fruits and vegetables this is an odd solution to a problem we brought on ourselves. One of the issues with mass-production of plants is that the taste has a pretty low priority when compared to more pressing issues like pest-resistance and yield. If you go to some country where people are cultivating older strains of some fruits and vegetables, you'll see that those don't need any sort of enhancement.

So it's a bit like that "chipotlaway" joke from South Park... but there's not much we can do.
> the world's governments pay everybody to stock up on food and stay home for two months

What's that going to do other than to cause the price of "food" to go up and cause a bunch of people to die in the worst Black Friday reenactments?

Note that while it is possible to calculate a weighted price index of food, people do not eat the weighted average of all food sold.

It is fantasies of control by people that got us to the point where every day every where governments are burning away their countries' wealth and their citizens' futures.
I've tried the freeze dried berries as well as the fresh berries. Here's why we are better:

1)Inconsistency of the fruit means you don't know what you'll get. Each dose of Wozi is pre-measured for consistent results.

2)It is important to coat your tongue. With the freeze dried berries most of it sticks to your teeth and unless you are consciously swishing it and moving it back and forth left to right, you won't get a great coating - half your tongue will taste sour and half will taste sweet.

3) There is no cue to know when you've gotten the full experience with the berries. You could swallow too soon and not get much of a change or waste minutes chewing it. We use pop rocks so that you know when it stops popping you're ready to eat.

4) The serving size is 1/2 berry. Our dose is the equivelant of approximately 2 berries. Also it may be $0.53 for half a berry, but it also costs $160 to get that pricing which is quite the upfront cost.

5) Not these guys, but other dried fruits still have the pit inside kind of like an olive. It is big and incovenient. You have to chew around it, spit it out, and if you chew it then you get a bitter taste.

This nails it. And Japanese school teachers are textbook example of that.

When my first was born there was no paternity or maternity leave. Apparently it was unpaid FMLA or use your PTO. Thankfully it was "unlimited" PTO and I've not yet encountered any shadow limits. (Though did have to get VP approval for 15 consecutive days.)
A 25% decline in the human population is completely irrelevant compared to the economic growth which is raising 6 billion people from a near-subsistence existence into the middle class. Losing a few million British people is completely irrelevant as Nigeria and its 150mm people enter the developed, high-energy, economy.

The solution to climate change is a technological restructuring of human carbon usage patterns. Not fewer humans.
Another 20 year veteran here. (though don't picture a greybeard, I started professionally at 15)

The big lesson for me over the last 5 years now that I also operate my code is design patterns. I think most Software people start with hating design patterns, then some fall in love with them, then eventually some of us fall out of love again.

The advice would be:

"Optimize code cleanliness and readability for reading at 2am in the middle of a production issue when you're trying to understand just exactly how the system got into that state that you didn't think was possible."

That means every jump to another class and every jump to an interface with multiple implementations is a distraction. You should still of course create modular separations for testability and clarity. But that line is way higher than the Uncle Bob "If a function is more than 4 lines long you should refactor it".

For complex mission critical pieces of logic, overindex on procedural execution, with paragraphs of comments explaining why each line is doing what it's doing.

Actually, another wisdom about comments:

I went from thinking "Comments are great!" to "Comments are terrible, and are liars, write self-documenting code" to "Comments are literally an opportunity for you to speak directly to the person coming after you, and explain in clear plain english WHY you made the choices you did, what tradeoffs you considered and dismissed, what compromises you made, and what external factors led to those decisions."

Comments don't need to be passive voice professional corporate speak. Nor do they need to make you sound smart or clever. Speak directly to your audience of future more junior engineers.

Exception messages too (sanitize all exceptions before they get to the customer, of course)

I've heard interesting things about what it does to cannabis products...no personal experience though.
I loved it! I never thought of my school days as oppressive. They were the best days of my life. I had no worries. I could focus on what I wanted and study without distractions. I had adults I could trust. My friends were all like me and there were few squabbles. If anything, it was a tad protective that it was a little bit jarring when I went to college. I never realised that this wasn’t the norm for many until after my school years. I think I missed out on other people skills and didn’t know how to read cues about people who were different than me.

I owe everything that I like about myself to my school teachers. They gave me space to explore..the wiggle room was monitored tho’. They gave me structure and expected discipline. Is that tyrannical? I still talk to my old teachers and am in touch with many of my school friends. It’s been almost 30 years and my math teacher still calls me. Another of my favourite teacher just told me on WhatsApp the other day that I shouldn’t waste my idle time during covid. She has given me exercises for vocal music and I have to sing for her every weekend. I will never be old.

I am in California now and a healthy number of my classmates are in the Bay Area. We meet often. I am not under any illusion that my life was perfect, but I only remember the good parts. It was certainly not unpleasant.

College was different. I went to a Jesuit institution run by Irish Catholic nuns that unfortunately happened to be the same one my mother went to...and the same nuns were still around and kept calling my mother who ended up being in a bad mood after one or the other would complain about me. Otoh, it amused me to see my mother so rattled because they were able to get that adult in my life so uncomfortable and squirmy with just one unblinking glance. I still laugh out loud when I think about it. My mother..on the other hand..remains unamused.
Yeah - I had high hopes for the alpha as well. I think it had more to do with Dec not getting price competitive with x86 before x86_64 took off. I don't really think the Itanium factored into it - it always seemed more of an 'also ran' then a real threat.

I think I might still have some Dec Multia's with Alpha 166MHgz out in the garage somewher. Neat lil boxes.
I really love when I can learn a tool and use it basically forever. In the case of DD, I have been using it since the 90s, and my printed URM from April 1985 lists dd with syntax that is still relevant today. So even if it doesn't fit the normal mold, I only had to learn it once.
'display' is way too overloaded. block/inline-block/inline are fine, defining how other elements stack against this element. Visibility should not be included though - display:none; should instead be visible: true|false. Then the layouts are shoved inside this property too: grid, flex, table. There should instead be a layout: grid|flex|table
I recently learnt that 80's high school math text book in U.S. had BASIC program for graphing calculator[1], I felt that's a great way to teach programming.

Not sure whether its being continued in some form, but I feel a python code to compute problems in math and other science subjects needs to be part of curriculum everywhere.

As for CC specifically, I'd love to use it with .NET Core - I gather it doesn't need that much work to get going again. It's a shame Microsoft hasn't invested more into it, especially as there was talk of making CC an integral part of the C# syntax (as in, first-class support for `pure` functions in C# and a succinct syntax for attaching them as invariants/etc to C# types and methods). If this was done it would solve so many problems (e.g. compiler-enforced guarantees about which navigation-properties on Entity Framework entities are loaded) and maybe even elevate C# to compete with Ada and Eiffel for safety-critical systems!
Also note that the costs of flying someone in right now is mitigated by the fact that all on-sites are virtual right now. And unemployed people in 2020/2021 may not have the luxury of being picky about a higher salary. You tried launching this in a weird year.

I think you're on to something important, but it might be a double-edged sword. Assuming you can't indefinitely stop all external causes of anxiety, mightn't there be a danger of becoming dependent on the solitude remote work allows? Or (considering the possibility of maladaptive coping strategies) avoiding desirable social interactions? And even with the judgement and confidence to pursue only more healthy and/or less anxiety-provoking experiences, aren't they typically easier to miss than adverse experiences?
