The energetic stupid programmer is the single most destructive thing you can have on your team and in your codebase. They make messes for everyone else, and a dummy writing bad code can produce more volume than even the best coder writing good code.

Eventually, guardrails and processes get put in place to protect against their damage, and the whole team slows down. Good coders walk, and you're left with the dummies, cranking out a high volume of low quality code. It's absolutely tragic.

When you build a flexible high-performance templatized system, hand it off, and realize a few weeks later that an energetic stupid coder has "written" more than 50 copied and pasted hard-coded classes from that codebase for the different places it was called from, only to have him and the non-coding manager push hard for sticking with that approach because the work is "nearly done", that's when you brush off the resumé and walk.

Teams need workaday coders sometimes, and every coder should know how to just grind out a big refactor or massive change. However, I aim for coders who are lazy enough to find a cleaner way to do it and smart enough to know they can.
I address this in a sibling comment.

In short: There is nothing inherent about meat that people like. People only like meat after they have altered the taste and texture of it. People can do the same (and more) with plant based food. In conclusion: Striving for the taste and texture of meat in particular is a poor goal for plant based food, as superior options exist.

This works great in a software dominated world, or in a world where Moore's law (or something like it) makes the device (though useful) obsolete. However, cars fit in a category that people consider to be a durable good. For decades, now, the expectation is that the car does not become landfill material until long after 10 years of use. If basic functionality is either a) unobtainable; or b) ridiculously pricey before those 10 years are up -- you've just lost a customer. For all their GPS and voice-commands, the Teslas, at root, remain a car. Buyers still expect that the point-A-to-point-B functionality can safely be maintained during the typical lifespan of a car -- and not that of an iPhone.
Here's my take on it... A younger non-parent me understands the western take on "not beating your children" very well. But the current parent me can also see why parents sometimes would beat their kids.(not that it is right.). Honestly, negative feedback/reinforcement is also needed to discipline(and I agree physical assault is the wrong way to do it.). The point I'm trying to make here is the stance against hitting your children stems from a "ideal well-adjusted parent" (not different from the "rational actor" in economics). And Yes, I'm contrasting the "ideal vs the actual". For context: I grew up in India in the 80-90s in a rural area. Personally, in my parenting I'm starting to use the "sama-dhana-beda-dhanda" ordering to some extent and customization for family settings of course.
Could there be a “KYC” approach where companies are required to verify their users’ identities but also keep them private? This could cut down on fake accounts while protecting the privacy of users who wish to remain anonymous.

Not sure why you're going after me, but I believe it's relevant because if I'm judging the expected lifetime of a car, it makes sense to know the age of an average car. I looked it up after reading the parent comment so I shared the information for others to benefit from it as well. The post has a couple of upvotes so presumably others also found it relevant.
Taking the median of public opinion does not result in an accurate understanding of reality. The FDA optimizes for minimizing scandals, not for helping people. That’s why they kill 100x more people by not approving good things than they do by approving bad things.

You're understanding of french values and society, especially of Laïcité [1], couldn't be farther from the trust.

Most french people take strongly to "Liberté Égalité Fraternité", and painting the whole country as hostile to minorities is extremely ignorant.

It is totally false to say that french freedom of speech permits to "constantly harass minorities by mocking them".

In fact our freedom of expression expressely forbids incitement to hatred. From wikipedia [2] :
"Press Law of 1881 criminalizes incitement to racial discrimination, hatred, or violence on the basis of one's origin or membership in an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group.A criminal code provision deems it an offense to engage in similar conduct via private communication"

However, satyre of ideas/symbols like religions and prophets is not the same thing as mocking people, and is an integral part of what we call laïcité.

You are missing the point that people, in their individuality as human beings, deserve respect but abstract concepts do not.

Few people completely stop eating meat for health reasons these days. Even reducing red meat consumption is no longer considered particularly important for your health. It's almost always about the environmental and/or ethical issues surrounding the production of meat.

I love the taste of meat, so even though I want to reduce my carbon footprint I also want to keep eating burgers. Impossible burgers and other highly processed foods give me the best balance of those two competing desires.
Exactly! I find it so surprising how on one side stories like the one you linked are heavily upvoted, and many here complain about Google, Facebook, monopolies, etc. But when it comes to z technology that is disruptive enough to solve many of the underlying problems , people are fast to discount it because a certain implementation is slow, inefficient, misused, etc.

The discourse that I would LOVE to see here is HOW to make it better. Is BCH really better? Is XlM? even XRP.

Like when databases are discussed, we get interesting points for Postgres or MySQL or even Mongo. That's the constructive view.

I think the risk surface with options can be significantly better-- e.g. if no margin is used for longs and if short calls are covered and short puts are cash secured, then the exposure is fixed and established upfront.

But I don't disagree that the there are much larger and more relevant gambling-in-the-guise-of-investing targets.

Also to be clear: I think there are legitimate investment uses of that product-- e.g. if you have a credible reason to believe the Bitcoin price will drop soon you could short a small amount with leverage while keeping the bulk of your holdings safe in cold storage. The extra fees and specific risks of the CFD may be offset by avoiding a need to touch cold coins. But I do also doubt that most users are using it that way.
it's a bad sign for our future that the idea of fixing a broken computer with actual soldering seems shocking. We need more of this.

I don't think your knowledge on this subject goes very far, because you seem to have very weird views of how and why meat is best prepared.

A perfectly seared medium rare centercut piece of beef tenderloin is such a great experience that my mouth starts watering just thinking about it.

It is also currently completely impossible to recreate this experience using vegetarian options.

She wanted to be a single mother if she had a daughter but not if she had a son?

Why did she want to be a single mother?

Why specifically if she had a daughter?

Why not if she had a son?

Was she concerned about your father raising a daughter and she wanted a different man, or different "type" of man, to raise her?

I'm sorry if that is personal and feel free to ignore me, but you did go there. I'm just oftentimes confused about people and their behavior / motivations in life... And this one is up there.

Some of my favorite food is vegetarian. None of it is in burger form though: paneer curry, falafel, tofu, beans, etc. I think this imitating meat thing kinda swings and whiffs; they could have gone down any delicious not meat tasting route and put it into easy to prepare burger form and ground chuck, but opted to just make something vaguely reminiscent of meat instead.

I mean, why isn't there any falafel fast food (outside the guys selling out of carts in front of bars), just a crispy delicious falafel patty on a burger bun and fixings? Some of the most delicious vegetarian food there is stays siloed into ethnic restaurants that the median American either lacks access to get it or interest to try it.

Funny that we have to resort to baiting and switching your big mac instead to get some to try vegetarian food.
No. It's just that there's no penalty for being anonymous and wrong on the internet, even here, and people get a thrill and a small sense of boost in their self-esteem putting down experts in a field. They don't know more than the experts, but they suffer no consequences from saying this. That's all. The FDA is one of the crown jewels of the United States and maybe the world. It breaks hearts in the development of pharmaceuticals and medical devices that barely miss efficacy thresholds and that earns it enemies. It also prevents dishonest scam artists and psychopaths from selling fake or harmful cures as medicine, and those people, as we've clearly seen recently, have no sense of decency and attack anything that prevents them from personal benefit.

Thank god for the FDA. Thank god for Frances Kelsey.
How do they implement it? Closure has two passes: Cross Module Method Motion, and Cross Module Code Motion. Cross Module Method Motion can move prototype methods, it leaves behind a stub, and a late-load overwrites the stub. Cross Module Code Motion can move top level global scope stuff (e.g. functions) The latter in particular is sensitive to declaration order effects, so movement is tricky and requires global analysis.

> My point is that there is nothing inherent about meat that people like.

There is actually, otherwise people wouldn't try to make a plant based version of it. It's savory (as in umami), has a higher fat content than plants, and also can have a variety of textures depending on the cut and cooking method, among other things.

This is exactly the free marketing Tesla expected with releasing the renderings with the yoke.

There are also renderings with a traditional wheel buried in the HTML.

The outrage drives dozens of articles and a hundred million clicks, making the car the most talked about new vehicle for the next several weeks.

“You won’t believe this one ridiculous thing about the new Tesla!”

Mission accomplished. I would bet $100 that the Model S ships with a physical way to activate turn signals on the steering apparatus.

Aside from turn signals, I think they will try to do away with the physical stalk to “gear shift” and it will ultimately be an improvement.

As-is the right hand stalk is overloaded with functions for cruise and autopilot, on top of gear shifting, which makes the current incarnation sub-optimal in several specific usage scenarios. So it doesn’t surprise me they are looking to change how it functions.
I would question whether boot time is such a meaningful target. It's trivial to leave a system up days or weeks relying on hibernation or suspend instead. This seems especially true given that freebsd is even more likely than Linux to see use as a server instead of a desktop.

Besides boot time on any init system with a fast ssd seems to be pretty damn quick. Saving 10 seconds every month will take a long time to pay off.

I've used craigslist many times to (a) find an apartment to rent or (b) find a used car to buy. In both cases I was prepared to wait a month or perhaps more until what I wanted came along. Who wants to spend a month clicking reload on a webpage every half hour?

I also used to watch a feed of all the used stuff for sale within 20 miles of me (I'm in a remote area), with a bunch of filters to remove stuff I didn't care about. Quite often I came across bargains on stuff I wasn't actively looking for. Like unique handmade high-quality furniture.

The usage mode for buying on craigslist is nothing like the usage mode for buying on amazon. It is not instant gratification.
The article makes that clear, even if the title doesn't.
I take a few sips and count them, tap my phone on the NFC tag, enter the number of sips, then lock the phone.

You could also track each bottle refill, although you would lose some resolution.

I already track 100% of what I put in my body, so tracking each set of sips comes naturally:

- Water (NFC tag)

- Food (photo)

- Packaged food (barcode scan)

- Daily medication/supplements (NFC tag)

- Occasional medication/supplements (manual note)

However, I have to admit that I'm not religious about tracking water intake anymore, and I sometimes forget to take a picture of the 2nd/3rd plate of food.

> However, cars fit in a category that people consider to be a durable good.

It’s not because people consider it a durable good. It’s because people can’t afford or aren’t willing to pay the amount for a new car if an alternative is available.

Many people aren’t going to shell out for a $35k Tesla that only lasts 10 years / 200,000 miles and is worth near zero at the end of 10 years if they can get a Toyota that will last 300,000+ miles, 20+ years, and is still worth a few thousand dollars.

Cars are the second most expensive purchase most people make in their life, they literally can’t afford the luxury of a new one willy nilly (for cars brands aiming to be mainstream brands).
Some of the subsidies are entrenched and strongly lobbied. There is no reason at all to be wasting water on almonds or cotton in California, for an example.

I think that's true for the easier to ignite reactions like D-T, but there are others that are aneutronic, eg Proton+Boron. It's much harder to initiate, but the fuel is cheap and the energy output higher.

"Aneutronic fusion loses much of its energy as light... Since X-rays can go through far greater material thickness than electrons, many hundreds or thousands of layers are needed to absorb the X-rays." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion

Now the Army research in the OP doesn't go up to XRay frequencies, but I haven't found a hard upper limit to the coupling effect yet.

We need to remember we were like them once. They’re little extensions of us.

Whenever I have troubles with my kids I try to remember that I was a kid not that long ago. If I zoom out a little, it was just a blink. I’ll spend more of my life with my kids being adults, fate permitting, and the struggles of them figuring things out (and me as well) will be another blink. I really want to make the most of it.
There is no evidence that saturated fat inhibits athletic performance. Vegan bodybuilders are a small fraction of the total, and that's just one sport. What percentage of elite athletes across all sports are vegan?
I grew up in Australia in the 80s/90s

I was hit as a kid. I have no distinct memory of being hit really, but I have distinct memories of being scared of it if I misbehaved and parents getting angry.

As a parent now, I see two reasons a parent might hit their kid, and neither is acceptable to me.

(A) you lose your temper because the child misbehaves. This isn’t acceptable because you’re reacting emotionally. The outcome could be extreme, either mentally or physically.

(B) you don’t lose your temper and make a reasoned decision to hit the child. This is even worse because you’ve justified hurting a child, to yourself.

Its not news that how a child is raised will impact their outlook on life. I wasn’t hit a lot, and I’m generally able to not make a physical reaction (such as hitting) when I am upset with my son.

I’ve seen first hand that others who had more violence in their childhood (eg hit with a wire coat hanger by a parent) will themselves be much more likely to react with physical violence if they get upset.
An important message from Louis Rossmann Re;Right 2 Repair
The point of the book is to help people manage the struggle, not how to become a great programmer. If that isn't what you want then you can go find some other book.

The authors own explanation:

> There are plenty of books on how to become a better programmer out there. Books like this tend to have checklists and other advice that the author deems important enough for you to do in order to become a better programmer. They tend to focus on specific improvements like choosing a better editor, writing better test cases, or drinking lots of water. Those books have lots of useful advice, but they read like a laundry list of things that you must do all at once in order to succeed. This book will try not to saddle you with more work (you likely have enough as it is). Rather, we'll discuss what it feels like to be a programmer. We'll talk about the emotions in being a programmer; the feelings of frustration, guilt, anger, and inadequacy. We'll cover the struggles in learning new things and keeping your skills current. We'll talk about those times when you feel like giving up and walking away from computing and whether those feelings come from a place of love or a worry that you're not keeping up.

That doesn't impact how long the cards would have lasted. They're basically moot in this dataset because they were eliminated before wear and tear could kill the car.
Of course people believed strange things! As I said, the field is far from being hard science even today (am MD myself). What do you think "expert opinion" actually means?
