I have one of the most exciting jobs one can have, being an academic, and still in Spain the system does as much as it can to make it a tedious toil.

We are always swamped in huge piles of bureaucracy, it's difficult not to be caught in some evaluation or other that requires you to spend months devoting countless hours to mindless paperwork (for the last one, I literally submitted a more than 1800-page PDF. I'm not exaggerating, I just checked). There are so many evaluations (6-year research evaluations from the Spanish government, research complement evaluations from the regional government, evaluations of research centers, evaluations of the PhD program, 5-year Docentia teaching evaluations, accreditations for the countless positions in the scale, with the subsequent evaluation for the position itself...) that we are subject to several a year, each with their own CV format and their own forms incompatible with the rest and asking for different things. And then there is the day-to-day bureaucracy where buying a computer can mean filling 10-15 different forms.

Paperwork takes most of our time and being able to do some "real work" feels like a reward that one has to earn. Still the real work is rewarding, but I wish it were like in other countries (say northern Europe, the US...) where real work can be most of the time. (And why didn't I migrate? Because of attachment to my place and my loved ones, like many people here. If work were my main driver in life I'd have been out of here long ago).

As for the experiment, I hope it achieves success but I wouldn't hold my breath. Under the current political climate, I'm afraid even if it's an undisputable success, the moment a right-wing government is voted to office they will tear it down because it's "communism", "handouts", "will turn us into Venezuela" or something like that. It's difficult to achieve anything with the current political polarization (and the main party that was between both blocs, currently in danger of extinction).
The reasoning behind keynesian gold digging is that rich people will not accept that the government hands out money to poor people because that would threaten private businesses who are dependent on cheap labor. To make sure that the government money doesn't compete with private money you just force people to do worthless work so that working as a waiter for minimum wage is still more attractive than digging holes in summer heat. The entire point is that digging holes sucks. Meanwhile cryptocurrencies glorify digging holes.
There's also iron deficiency, especially for women. And omega-3. And making sure you get enough "complete protein" i.e. enough of all the essential amino acids.

Anyway, it's a statistical fact that a lot of vegans are deficient.

Yeah I mean they're all CEO's, they don't do software engineering as far as I know. Maybe they once did, 15-20 years ago, and maybe that was their major in uni, but I think it's a bad trend to put a label on people based on what they went to school for. What you pick in school is not your life, and real life / work experience is more educational than the education system (in my experience, but then, I'm college level at best).

So yeah. These people are CEO's, not software engineers.
Because software is the highest growing industry?

I did 36 hours for a good while (taking a friday off every two weeks); that was nice, but it wasn't as necessary anymore during lockdown, because I gained an hour a day for not commuting.

But another reason is that because of the corona, our company didn't do as good as expected and they didn't give anyone any raises, so working a few hours extra is a nice increase in wage as well.

Mind you, otoh I could make a lot more if I were to work elsewhere.

It's not absurd that Int64 isn't the default, because:

1. nullable Int64 was only implemented recently, still experimental, and changing defaults can break lots of existing code

2. implementing nullable Int64 was a very non-trivial exercise, because pandas was mostly built on top of numpy which didn't (and still doesn't) have nullable integer arrays
Note how I never said that work should be your main source of fulfillment.

But yes, I whole-heartedly believe that people should derive some meaning out of work, as they devote ~40 of their waking hours to that activity, and it can be a cornerstone of a person's identity. And meaning can take many forms: that you're doing something for yourself, for your family, for your community or your nation, that you intrinsically enjoy the task at hand, or a combination thereof.

This is a common characteristic of thriving nations I've observed in my travels and readings, and conversely, I think that nations that do not have this trait are bound to decline or even crash.

Note how I also do not entirely blame Spaniards for a problem that is clearly systemic; on the other hand, I do believe that we as individual citizens should remain strong in the face of adversity, and not succumb to providential fatalism, as this will also inevitably lead to national misery.

The quality is not good, and the performance is not even mentioned.

I have used different approach: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac#vector-graphics-engine

My version is cross-platform, tested with Direct3D 12 and GLES 3.1.

My version does not view GPUs as SIMD CPU, it actually views them as a GPU.

When rendering a square without anti-aliasing, the library will render 2 triangles. When rendering a filled square with anti-aliasing, the library will render about 10 triangles, large opaque square in the center, and thin border about 1 pixel thick around it for AA.

It uses hardware Z buffer with early Z rejection to save pixel shaders and fill rate. It uses screen-space derivatives in the pixel shader for anti-aliasing. It renders arbitrarily complex 2D scenes with only two draw calls, one front to back with opaque stuff, another back to front with translucent stuff. It does not have quality issues with stroked lines much thinner than 1px.

When you sell your Bitcoin for Ethereum you have to pay taxes in dollars. The specific value is dependent on the ability to exchange it for goods and services but the fact that it will remain valuable (but not how valuable) in the future is secured by taxation. Who knows what is going to happen with Bitcoin? It may get replaced by Ethereum entirely.
Countries are also moving away from coal in favor of more cleanly burning natural gas. They will need to keep those plants up, because renewables are not as predictable and they need a stable and predictable backup like fossil fuels or nuclear.

Renewables are nice, but managing and balancing them is a lot more difficult.
> To be clear, I don't believe this is inherently Spanish, due to our genes, the climate, or our love for fiesta: similar phenomena could be observed locally in the US or Northern Europe.

It is more or less the same here in Italy. Jobs are so scarce that one has to be grateful for anything better than straight unemployment thus enabling a whole ecosystem of low pay, asshole bosses and coworkers, and toxic work attitude all around.
That seems overly reductive.

Most US Congresspersons studied law, most high-ranking Chinese Communist Party members studied engineering. Most of both spent limited time practicing their profession, they're professional politicians, not lawyers or engineers.

It still says something interesting about the respective bodies. If there's some kid out there who wants to grow up to be a CEO, should she study computer science or, like, history?

The problem is that "relevant" is a frustratingly vague word. Google probably even believes that this is their mission. But when you talk to marketers, "relevant" is almost always going to mean "most relevant ads".

It's like with "engaging", which sounds good on paper, but by now we all know that "engaging" just means "addicting".

I really am doubting if the few people who actually give a shit having _fewer_ kids is the answer. We need to outcompete people like quiverfull.
There is a common trope around engineers being better managers and CEo in germany as we.. Not software, but engineers in general. Everyody always points at the successfull ones, only to forget that some of the biggest business fuck ups, e.g. VW, happened under engineering CEOs (without MBAs).
His criticism is quite valid. It's not nits he is picking. It's the overall argument, which is weak.
> how is a waiter going to produce the same in four days of work than in five?

By not being tired on the fifth, not taking wrong orders and not dropping glasses. Same as a software engineer would.

I see your point tho, and it is very valid. I am just playing angels advocate here.

But, iirc, earliest research on the topic was conducted in a hospital, which is a services business, same as a restaurant. Increases in production (I said production and not productivity) were found. Research is not solid.

Increase the number of jobs.

Everybody needs something to do with their day. And those you really need to be working a full week to produce what we really need will only do that if there is something material for them to exchange for their efforts.

We really don't want farmers on three day weeks.

After working with lots of different sized suppliers in the aerospace industry, the quality of your product really depends on your suppliers' culture. If they take it seriously, are willing to work with you and already ship good stuff you will have much better outcomes vs the opposite. Your best bet is to meet and talk with them a lot. Can you your their facility? To turn around a company that ships trash, you may have to acquire them... and not even that is a guarantee.

Beyond that it really depends on what you're manufacturing, and what you can spend. Look into PPAP (Product Part Approval Process) and take ideas from there. It is the process automotive manufacturers follow and will soon become an aerospace standard.

"The problem here is the effect on productivity."

If you make labour 'reassuringly expensive', then the only way to maintain output is to invest in capital deepening.

Which is the only place productivity comes from.

Capitalists need to start doing some capitalism.
> The problem in Spain is how prevalent these attitudes are, in a macro context where good opportunities have been scarce for decades

This really nails it. I'm originally from Portugal (now living and working in the UK). Staying late and maintaining presence was a really big thing in Portugal. You really are looked down on when you leave early, it's a really terrible work culture, it genuinely felt like people would either overwork themselves or just generally do nothing with that extra time.

I tell my friends this story all the time: When I first arrived to the UK and started working, I asked my company about having my work email on my phone, my manager just had a completely blank face - "why do you need your work email on your phone?". I have been happily employed with this company for nearly 8 years now, never once feeling the need to stay late or go beyond the contracted hours. If I put in overtime, it's because I want to (most of the time because I actually enjoy the work). Oh, and I am paid for overtime. Completely unheard of in Portugal.

I know a lot of these things might be company culture specific, but there is definitely a level within geography - The lesser opportunities available, the more is expected out of you. As if having the opportunity to work should be seen as some sort of blessing.
Farming practices? Sure.

Externalities? Not necessarily. The organic, small farmer raised tomato probably has a much higher CO2 footprint than a corporate farm tomato from Mexico - efficiency at scale can be enormous.
I love the direction of this, we definitely need government to have more skin in the game.

But I think it's pretty hard to trust the settlement process of these futures. Presumably anyone with a large enough position would want to influence the vote, and people would be happy to sell their votes about what happened 40 years ago because it has no influence on them any longer.

So LPFs would be sold to the highest bidder, which would be whichever entity is most confident in their ability to buy votes at the settle, which would basically be the biggest entity.

That said the idea of having retrospective feedback built into the core of a democracy is very cool.
I disagree. Lies should be called out as lies, and aren't nearly often enough in the current era of fake news/science/politics.

"The Workweek" is, surprisingly, a really deep topic.

Keynes' 15 hr work week prediction, for example, is a fascinating rabbit to travel down. The typical economics professors' "why it failed" explanations (at least circa 2005) are tellingly evasive. They preserve all Keynes' premises^ with a "what "happened" scenario that threads a tiny needle.

IMO, regardless of which rabbit hole you follow, it turns out that workweek is a very culturally defined thing. It isn't very reactive to economic forces at all. People get rich. Societies get rich. Women join the workforce. Efficiency rises by N000%. Workweeks remain similar.

Where quantity of work does change, it tends to be outside the workweek paradigm. Retirement became a big thing. Children don't work. Young adults do a lot of college. Women join the workforce, or don't. IE, we might work fewer years. Fewer people might work. Shortening workweeks rarely happens.

IMO, empirically, workweeks seem to be mostly a social institution... not an "economic" one. IE, economic explanations have very little predictive power because "out-of-theory" stuff is more important.
