I read this exact same headline every other month
I half read, half skimmed the contents, and what I found was significantly divergent from what I was hoping for.

I was hoping to find some combination of a breakdown of potential paper cuts that hold programmers back, and an insightful breakdown of seemingly insurmountable problems that keep programmers in their provincial comfort zones, providing a series of bite-sized victories to lead one to greatness.

Instead I found number of already well-tread tropes of self-acceptance, limiting the amount one compares one's self to others, finding friends, and taking breaks. Furthermore, it does this without presenting any kind of new model to achieve this within the programmers existing emotional, executive and motivational budget.

I don't know if I'm staggeringly abnormal but I'm already acutely aware of those requirements. Absent some seemingly miraculous improvement in my executive function, in order to effect change (at least in me), the content needs to provide either compelling anecdotes as to why I should try harder, or a new model that provides a path where the extra smashing of face is not required.

I fully acknowledge I have no claim of liability for the content not meeting my hopes, given the generous lack of cost, but I must say I'm disappointed.

No, sorry I must not have made my point clear enough (this is what I get for trying to be snarky):

GP is saying that people like the taste and texture of meat. I’m saying that they only do after they have altered the taste and the texture of if. My point is that there is nothing inherent about meat that people like.

This is relevant to OP as the above claim is that there is no need to replicate the texture and taste of meat as you you have infinitely many ways to structure the taste and structure of plant based food, including ways that are superior in both taste and texture to how people prepare meat.

>>People kill people with avalanches

That one hits close to home. When I was about 20 yo my friend and I were almost killed in an avalanche.

It was an early spring slab climb, after a hard New England winter. Sunny, blue skies, unseasonably warm. As we hiked up to the mountain we had to traverse multiple debris fields with downed trees and burried approach trails. We finally found a clear area under a route, and started up. We were on our second pitch, first hanging belay when we heard it coming. Thankfully the edge missed us by maybe 20 feet. A tree dragged by the snow almost nailed my partner who was on lead. I got hit with a spattering of snow, and rocks, and ice, giving my helmet a good ring.

It's impossible to fully describe what came down the mountain. It's like standing on the highway shoulder as a tractor trailer whips by, but x100. It's loud, and fast, but also kinda slow because it just keeps coming down the mountain.

We left gear on the wall, and simultaneously repelled down as fast as we could. Made it out without a scratch.

Thing is, we should have never been out there. We were familiar with the risks, but after a long winter, with spring having stopped all the snow/ice sports, we were antsy to get out and climb. We walked through multiple debris fields looking for that "safe" route. We both knew better, but we fed off each other's energy and ended up taking a risk that we shouldn't have.

Yet, that same mentality also pushed us into some of the most spectacular outdoor moments in my life. They mention it in the article, but there is this idea that it's exceeding your limits recklessly is what gets you killed. But Backcountry sports are all about pushing your limits to do something fantastic that is fundamentally unsafe. The risk is inherent to the experience.

I think most serious rock climbers, base jumpers, mountaineering, big wave surfer, wing suit, etc. enthusiasts understand this. Every serious climber I've ever met has personally known someone who has either been terribly injured or killed. You can accept and/or mitigate the risk in these sports, but it's always going to be impossible to transfer.

As I've gotten older, I've made the choice to avoid that risk by leaving behind most of those sports. I'm torn how I'll react if my children decide to pick up these hobbies.

Yes. Until a week ago I used to drive a car built in 2000 and the average age of cars in my country is 14 years, so cars of 20 or more years are not exceptions.

The sad thing is I can barely find some parts for that 21 year old car that is mostly in perfect running order, but several small buttons don't work anymore, most of the display (showing basic info like outside temperature, fuel consumption etc), rear windshield blade, so at some point good running cars are abandoned because of lack of parts, not because they really need to. Replacing with newer cars is not just the financial cost, but the associated energy and pollution costs that manufacturing processes have.

For electric cars I have huge life expectations, 30 years or more with just batteries and tires as consumables, but the car body and electrical engine should last a very, very long time. There is no reason to accept less than that.

There could be a lot of reasons for that. I doubt the reason is that meat is the healthiest option for them; meat contains a lot of saturated fat, which athletes try to avoid too much of. It's more likely that meat is healthy enough for athletes who enjoy eating meat. This wouldn't mean they need meat, and they most certainly don't as there are a lot of successful vegan bodybuilders.

> Boiling meat is pretty much the worst way to prepare any cut of meat, and will ensure that it has a tough and unpleasant texture, strip all of the fats making it dry, and overall ruin a perfectly good cut of meat.

However, sous vide is an absolutely marvelous way to prepare meat. It keeps it tender and juicy and then you can just sear it in a skillet or with a kitchen torch to get that nice Maillard reaction taste.

The gambling problem is absolutely true, but it's difficult to know how to approach it properly, since it's obvious that there's people gambling just as badly on brokerages in the US right now, primarily with options (especially Robinhood).
There's a lot of holes in this article. They made a one millimeter thick sheet of organic matter transparent by bleaching it and then filling it with clear epoxy. None of that indicates a utility for building materials. You could do that to almost anything organic, from a sheet of intestinal lining to a seaweed nori roll. To beat glass and plastic it has to scale. Call me jaded but I think if these guys could produce a transparent 2x4 they'd have shown it off.

I think every major company that sells consumer based product wants to move to the iPhone model (atleast what I call it). They want you paying them constantly, always, monthly. Pay Tesla 450/month and when an update to their car arrives you can pay 475/month to now have the “latest”.

The pressure for a company to have everyone paying them monthly is just to high. You’ll get pulled into their “ecosystem”, where it’s harder to switch. Why sell a car once per 10 years to a dealer who marks it up and has the interaction with the customer. Electric cars already have less maintenance (theoretically). Tesla doesn’t want you going away from paying them, no company does, and they are all fighting to prevent you from not paying them.

A bigger problem in getting power from fusion is dealing with the resulting neutrons.

Maybe I takes 2-3 days of charging for every N kilometers of travel but that's better than zero when you run out of gas.

> We do it with our plant based food, and—to a much greater extent—we do it to our meat based food.

I'd disagree with that, I don't think plant based foods are seasoned or prepared that differently. Maybe you're thinking of barbecue where meat can be rubbed, smoked, then slathered in barbecue sauce, but most people don't eat that on a daily basis. Besides, it's not as if vegetarian and vegan dishes don't have any spices, a curry or a chili will have just as many spices as a rack of ribs or a brisket, if not more.

A plant based burger is prepped just as a meat based one, fried chicken isn't that far removed from tempura vegetables, cream of celery isn't that different from cream of chicken, and so on. Honestly, I can't think of a plant based dish that wouldn't have a meat based equivalent, other than salad.

> Also, salt is a very powerful spice.

Depends on how you want to look at it. It's not really a spice in the sense that it's not aromatic or pungent, it's in the category of ingredients that enhance taste, like monosodium glutamate.

Would the costs associated with holding perps differ substantially from getting exposure (in the same trade direction) through traditional futures?

In perps we compensate the market through funding, and in futures we do so through term structure (ie the futures price exceeding spot).

Annualized rates can be that high during periods of excess demand for perps but on average they're much lower. Agreed that it's important to take them into account.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/right#English

All of the different meanings and connotations of "right" come from Germanic and earlier Indo-European words referring to straightness or directness. That includes the meanings about legal rights (which is the sense used in the term "copyright"), meanings about correctness or propriety, and meanings about the direction opposite left, among others.

Most of this family of meanings is also found in other European languages, like with German "recht" and French "droit".

In the legal sense you can oppose English "crooked" (literally, not straight) and French "tort" (same meaning), both of which refer to kinds of legal impropriety.
Problem with that comic is that it doesn't take skill acquisition into account. Automating something increases your skills in automating things and therefore can be worthwhile even if automating this specific task isn't.

Lets say that automating a task saving you 1 hour takes 10 hours. Is it worth it? No, you'd say. But what if you had 100 such tasks, and the time to automate them goes down as you become a better programmer taking a total 50 hours? Then it would be worth it, but you would never achieve that level of expertise and therefore lose that productivity increase if you followed the advice of that comic, since none of the tasks you'd come across would be worth automating when you got to them.

> When we're talking about exchanging information between two parties, like on Sabine's hacker interception case, how is that quantum information exchanged?

The assumption is quantum info. is exchange in the form of the quantum state of a single qubit, which is of the form of a two-dimensional vector [alpha,beta] where alpha and beta are some numbers. Quantum states are often written as

alpha*|0) + beta*|1>

where |0> = [1,0] = ihat and |1> = [0,1] = jhat are two basis elements for the space of quantum states (a two-dimensional vector space).

> If it can be done through an electric cable, ...

No. Usually we assume coherency-preserving optical fibre connects sender to receiver or there is a free-space link (some sort of "carrier" for single photons such that quantum state encoded in input photons roughly comes out the same at output side).

> ... what forbids the hacker from just using a high impedance tap in the cable?

I'm interpreting your question a little, but if I understand correctly what you are asking is:

Given Alice's (the sender) signal being v_A and Bobs' "receiver load" being R_B, why can't an eavesdropper Eve insert a "high impedance tap" (R_E >> R_B) in parallel with Bob, such that she receives a copy of the Alice-transmitted signal v_A, but since adding a high-impedence-load in parallel doesn't matter much, Bob will not be able to detect the tapping.

Bob's expected received current if no wiretap is: i_B = v_A/R_B = i_A (i.e. all signal (current) sent by Alice is received by Bob)

Bob's received current given Eve's tap: i_B = i_A * (R_E / R_E + R_B), which is approx. equal to i_A when R_E >> R_B (high impedance tap)

______

The answer is that because Alice is sending one photon at a time (quantum regime = such low energies that we're talking about individual systems state, like single photons being emitted and received). In the quantum regime each photon is "forced" to either be detected by the Eve detector OR the Bob detector (no such thing as 30% of a photon).

The only-one-receiver nature of single-photon coherent quantum communication gives us the eavesdropping-detection capability of quantum crypto systems, i.e., Eve's wiretapping cannot be done without detection.

To actually generate a secure protocol based on wiretap-detection requires additional clever hacks and conventions between Alice and Bob, which are described in the BB84 protocol, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB84
Honestly, this is a big deal here. A "security researcher" attempted to _introduce new vulnerabilities_ into a major open source project just so that they could report these vulnerabilities later.

Same here. Why re-invent SQL as a weird object system?

I've also recently found that using the sqlite3 command line tool increases my productivity when doing data sciency stuff a lot. It's a super fast, super simple way of making sense of CSV data, especially for the selecting an joining operations that are so unintuitive in pandas. Once that's done, I can dump the results into Jupyter or RStudio for transformation and/or visualization.

Another personal productivity win I've discovered is using two-line python scripts to write really long and repetitive SQL commands (select count a, b, c... from huge_table where d... and e... and f...; etc.) and then running them in SQLite.

> I agree that an exceptional programmer would not only not be appreciated in a job like this but their work/code will also be misunderstood and create a huge libility for the company.

Writing complicated and unmaintainable code is not the hallmark of an exceptional programmer.

Rather it is writing simple code to solve simple problems and writing understandable code to solve hard problems.

Code other's cannot wrap their head around is not good code and even the clever author will have a harder time debugging, re-factoring or adapting it. Chances are it would be a liability even on a solo project.

A plastic window would need to be quite thick to be as rigid as a glass window. A plastic window would also scratch more readily, and it would likely degrade in the sun (become translucent rather than transparent).

Because the UV wavelengths in sunlight discolor and degrade most plastics over time.
