It's worth noting that part of how TPS (Toyota Production System) achieves continuous improvement is by creating/exacerbating pain points. By reducing inventory, in particular, it reveals issues in the system that might get papered over elsewhere.

Things that high inventory can cover up:

- Low yield. If half your produced product is low quality and unsellable, but you can still make enough and have enough inventory you can still hit your targets. But you're not motivated (or insufficiently motivated) to improve the yield.

- Maintenance/repair downtime. If you can run flat out 24 hours a day for 3 months and get enough inventory to cover that one month of repair work, you're not encouraged to improve the maintenance program or maintainability of the system.

- Tooling changeover (a big one in TPS). Related to the preceding one. If tooling changeover introduces a week of downtime, but your inventory is high enough to absorb that loss, then you're not motivated to improve the changeover.

By reducing inventory (it's not the only way, but it is a way) these issues become much more apparent and can then be addressed. Continuing with this, in TPS/Lean as you improve one area you can either produce more (which means selling more) or produce enough (but less than before, because there's less need to paper over issues with high inventory) and free up capital and resources for the next area with issues. Which also introduces slack into the system so you can handle surges in demand more effectively.
I feel like this question can't be answered without some basics about why kind of lifestyle you're looking for.
>That's one bitter truth about life: (almost) everyone needs some amount of physical intimacy to be happy, but it's not something anyone is entitled to.

That's not a truth about life, it's an opinion.
> People who think being alone is great are right,

I think the critical part is the "only thing" in the quote.

The same thought expressed as "she makes me happy" and "she's the only thing that makes me happy" are different because of the implied loss of everything (that you will give up everything else that could make you happy to have this person stay).

> until some point after the slide begins that has slowly eaten away at your own ability.

I'd say that is pragmatic, but a very selfish thought.

My parents were taught that by their society ("successful kids" == "retirement plan"), but they didn't follow through with that thought during our upbringing - if anything, they thought they were paying it forward.

For an american comparison, the silent generation of America were a lot like my parents in their attitude towards the future (bright, but built for the kids).
I don't know what more you could want.

This guy has a YouTube channel with nearly 3 million subscribers and he's made nearly 1,300 hundred videos. There are dozens of subreddits focused on lock picking with hundreds of thousands of users. I am not sure what the definition of "every random teenager" really is but I can do web search and find and instructional video, it's good enough for my purposes.

Many, maybe even most of his videos of locks made by companies who sell in common retail outlets demonstrate low skill attacks and still more demonstrate low effort / specialised knowledge attacks. He also has a web store where you can buy a bunch of tools for this.

So even someone like me who has lost most of the use of my right hand can open many of the big name locks on the market without much difficulty. Most cases it's a web search to a video and perhaps next day delivery of a tool kit. Many times the attack is ridiculously trivial and can be done with stuff one might find in your average garage shop.

I mean look at some of his videos... "open with a fork" "open with a shim made out of a coke can" "open with a strong magnet" "open with a lego figure" "open with a spoon" "open by raking with a rake lock pick" "open with a sharp blow with a small hammer" "open by drilling here" "open by grinding this part" "open with a pocket knife" "open with a butter knife" "open with the top of a bic pen"
Yes, gunpowder is literally tech too after all, and there's no shortage of tech in the EU. The EU Horizon2020 was a great initiative for example.

The EU thinks in 7 year budget cycles.

I too recommend more spending on tech and science.

That said the direct EU budget is not particularly huge (just 1% of the GNI of all of the member states), but members should spend on tech more anyway. And the NGEU (next gen EU) COVID relief fund is "just" 750B EUR. (Though again, member states themselves will also spend a lot of money on boosting the recovery.)

Naturally there are obvious strategically important areas where the EU as whole should do direct investment into R&D. (Food, energy security and health for example.)

There's about 20B EUR / year earmarked for "single market, innovation and digital" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiannual_Financial_Framewor... )

China does understand that the best way to build up a particular industrial capability is to do it. "Just do it". Especially using tech transfer agreements. Hence their amazing railway network. (But their 5year plan is not particularly interesting.)

----

I'd argue that the EU should just do more (a lot more!) of what it usually does anyway. (Which is participating in various projects, from ITER, ESA (+ Galileo), to funding a lot of initiatives like NGI.) Also it'd be great to capitalize on GDPR and other differentiating directives. (So partially funding projects that offer GDPR-compliant alternatives.) ... and healthcare, the EU populace is aging, fast .. if that's not great "market" opportunity I don't know what is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But, still, the core issue is that there's not enough direct capital sloshing around in the EU. If the Commission would partially fund targeted VC funds it could make very big waves in various tech sectors.
Mythical Man Month describes secretaries in a software context. What spoke to me about it was none of things, but instead: scheduling meetings, taking and distributing agendas and notes for those meetings, being the curator and librarian of project documentation. Just because these things are digital now, doesn’t mean any of the engineers on the team will step up to do them consistently or well. Many projects could run more smoothly with someone in that role.

I would be interested in a citation that those entering into marriages and child rearing are aware of the economic costs and are able to enumerate the benefits prior to the events, or if its look back justification after the fact. If you dig, I think you'll find most folks were not aware of the economic and opportunity costs of children, as well as the work involved in maintaining a healthy relationship with a party for an extended period of time.

(removed a bunch of pew research citations that made the comment unwieldy; happy to cite for those interested)
> There is a bizarre (and imo destructive, and toxic) idea that seems to be running through tech especially that devotion to your partner is rooted in "jealousy"

I feel like you're responding to a different argument than the one that was posed above. They weren't saying that a deep devotion to your partner is bad at all. They were saying that if you're miserable every moment you're not with your partner, there is likely something wrong that needs to be addressed.

Being able to be comfortable and happy even when your partner isn't around doesn't preclude you from having a devoted long term relationship. In fact, that feels like a recipe for a healthier long term relationship. Otherwise you can end up with codependency or separation anxiety.
For every well-run family-owned business like this, there are a dozen that are hell holes full of nepotism and corruption. That is to say, I think you're pretty lucky to have found one of the rare good ones.

I get what you're saying but none of those words work.

There are some people who are very well networked and can repeatedly start and sell companies by leveraging those connections as a business model in itself, but this is extremely rare.

Building a business to even be attractive enough for an acquisition is magnitudes harder than any round of interviews will ever be, but I do agree that those interview processes are a joke now compared to the talent they're designed to find.
This feels like a new version of Brunch.

Did anyone use Brunch to build and bundle JS projects and manage dependencies? It seemed like the best thing since slice-bread at the time.

I recently had to go back and update a 6-year-old project that had been written using Brunch. It took several days of painful work to extract it all out of the framework and built it using Babel.

All I'd want to know with Rome is, if and when I abandon it or it gets abandoned (whichever happens first), how annoyed am I going to be that I had chosen this framework? How seamless will it be to extract my project?

At one site, the "tech doc" people got the SLC. I felt bad for them because they were running Interleaf and FrameMaker (two nice solid publishing tools with page layout aspects), plus our CAD-ish products... on a smaller screen than all the Software Engineers and EEs had on their adult-sized SPARCstations.

We did experimentally get an IPC or IPX for one engineer. Most all Sun workstations up to that point were pizza boxes, but I recall the first IPC/IPX had arrived one afternoon. And the weird non-pizzabox form factor, and general curiosity about whatever Sun was doing next, was why three of us went back inside from a company social event, to watch while one person set it up (installed more SIMMs, etc.).

Based on my recollection of who got the IPC/IPX, he was a great engineer, who then left software development, and now owns cool pubs in Portland, so maybe he really wanted a SPARCstation 2 instead. (Just a joke; I like the IPX, and when I wanted to personally buy a SPARC for home, I chose an IPX.)

Industrial-design-wise, Sun liked pizza boxes for workstations (they fit exactly under the bases of the huge CRTs, and fairly easy to open and get access to all the components), plus putting peripherals in a few form factors of what we called "shoeboxes" (but no longer shoebox-sized). (The 386i models had shoeboxes that attached atop the PC-ish minitowers.) The various peripherals you see stacked atop the IPX in that post are of the incarnation of shoeboxes that went with with latest pizzabox workstation chassis industrial design (3/80, 4/60, 4/65, 4/75, and maybe others, until the SPARCstation 10 (?) evolved the design a little). So the IPC and IPX looked like Sun was maybe thinking "Hey, we could also put the workstation in this peripheral form factor, and it could open in half". And so it seemed the lunchbox workstation was born.

I wonder whether the IPC and IPX moving the floppy drive (which I think was hardly ever used, when we had networks, CD-ROM, and QIC/Exabyte/DDS) to a more prominent position-- was an accident of fitting things into the internals, or because the peripherals all had their openings on front, or to signal something about the market positioning/differentiation of these workstations.
A hands-on guide to working with APIs in Python
I really like this post because it exudes nuance. So many problems are boiled down to terse summaries that are barely accurate when examining details.

People being hateful and violent are a problem. More of a problem are the conditions that push people in this direction. When presenting the underlying cause, people push back and instead focus on scapegoating or minimizing.

This problem occurs in engineering all the time too. We accrue "tech debt" and when it bites us we're quick to blame incompetence or bad luck. Nobody wants to hear that the problem is because we have to "waste time" working on hardly visible components that don't change anything except "down the road."

The problem is the same now. We blame "bad apples" and "bad days" instead of blaming our own culture and society and undertaking the effort to improve it. We try to make the world fit our own perspectives instead of critically examining our biases. We outright lie to ourselves, and I'm frankly sick of it.

You better fight for it. Otherwise industry is likely to lobby those become mandatory to prevent competition from heopardizing potential revenue streams by couching them as public safety and sustainibility features.
> This is basically a red flag for any relationship. If the only thing making or allowing a person to be happy in life is their partner then something is wrong.

Vast majority of people are only happy when they're in a relationship and have a circle of friends. We've evolved this way. If you have no friends, you focus on your partner to get this social interaction.

When you have no friends, no partner, then you turn to poor substitutes for social engagement, like online forums. If you ask me that's the red flag (using Internet a lot).
Ever seen a programmer creating programs in Brainfuck? I don't think I'll never understand Brainfuck, but I do have some understanding of why you'd wanna write a program in it.

Ever seen these abstract paintings that go for millions of dollars? How dare they? I don't understand anything of it, it's weird as fuck, but it doesn't really hurt anybody more than anything else so why care?

I feel like NFTs fall into a similar category. I understand them, I just don't want them. But I do understand that the same people who would collect baseball cards or whatever (I also never understood that) could see something in NFTs. Same with the art-crowd who been struggling with funding for individual artists, I don't want it myself, but I kind of see why others would somehow.
Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately -- as least for AquaQ Analytics -- there seem to be no remote positions available at the moment.
I don't know why you're being down-voted, you're right. I haven't met anyone, even in the insanely left and progressive university circles that I run in, who advocate for equality in outcome. It's equality in opportunity that's important. It's about letting 'your freedom as an individual to choose your own destiny' actually be 'free' from the start and not constrained by social mores, ingrained biases or discrimination, and/or other external factors.

The freedom in outcomes argument is 100% a strawman used by far right pop culture icons to drum up views and clicks.
I mean, can anyone do things fairly, correctly, and quickly? I don't think that's even possible.
I've been keeping the core contributor team updated on the funding process since December. We've also been publicly speaking about it in the Rome Discord server too. I posted about securing funding in early April in #general.

Emanuele and Yasser both approached us during this period to offer their interest in joining and have stayed actively involved in development.

It's a good question around how to compensate the shoulders of the giants you're standing on, and I don't think anyone has a good answer for that. I think it's important to note that the credits page is meant to be as exhaustive as possible. I am not aware of many other projects that have something similar, and theirs are likely to be even longer.

In the end the community is getting value because we'll now be able to do more to improve the project than we otherwise would have. Babel most notably has struggled for funding and is even currently undergoing a serious funding shortage. It has been used as one of the poster children for the JS community and it's clear that donation-based funding isn't effective, at least on the order of magnitude required to support a team.
Is there a reliable list of cars that do not surveil me, or that can be modified to not surveil me? I read a Bruce Schneier article a little while ago (maybe the article was much older) where he said that he looked, but didn't find one that met his other needs.
Yeah man I don't think I would classify a committed relationship where partners end up missing their partner when they're gone as "codependent". And honestly this whole trend of laymen trying to psychoanalyze people with whatever toxic psychobabble their read on twitter is getting out of hand.

Codependence is when two people have some unhealthy trait that is reinforced by the other person's unhealthy trait. From wikipedia:

>Codependency is a concept that attempts to characterize imbalanced relationships where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement.

That is not the same as "I get sad when my wife is gone because she is my life partner".

I think more Americans should consider going back to Europe city. If things are not working out here. Do what other people have done and move away. Things are deteriorating here anyway and standard of living is going down.
If you move to a larger European city, chances are you will end up walking a lot more, lose weight, and meet new people. People walk all the time.
Just the idea of working here overtime for the next 30+ years to barely afford a new house should be enough motivation.
Eh, both have proven impenetrably difficult for me. I just kind of float through life and stumble into jobs these days.
Even though a company's software might be open source, the company does own the intellectual property of the open source project. It chooses what license under which the software should be offered and has the freedom to commercially exploit the software in ways that nobody else can.

That being said, a compiler toolchain is not so easily monetized as something like Grafana, which has obvious enterprise features that need filling in and which can be hosted as a cloud service, generating revenue that way.

I imagine the team has ideas for monetization, otherwise they would not have raised $4.5M from some top shelf venture capitalists. I would like to know what those ideas are.

> Why would there have to be equal numbers of orders on both sides?

I think that it might influence opinions, robots and future orders... and therefore the current price (in the future).
I avoided this by discussing the size of the diamonds in dead slaves rather than carets. Once I realized it didn't bother her to consider the dead slaves, I knew the "natural" diamond was what she wanted, so that's what she got. She may have genuinely believed it when she said the size of the stones didn't matter, but you can't deny how good she felt when other women fawned over it and were jealous that her stones were bigger/shinier.

It's all about status signaling. The whole concept of the ring is a literal status symbol, signaling you're off the market. We can get upset about this particular status signal all we want, but it's not as if it's any less moral than any other status signal we participate in. That new phone was made by slaves. The car was built by raw materials mined in awful ways, possibly with slave labor. We can't go down this rabbit hole with everything in our life. I recommend making small nudges when we can in our own lives, but try not to get too worked up over any of them, it's not good for your mental health.

Any one left out of that list? Should I assume if I see one PSA-owned brand (for example), all PSA will be under contract and just not named because the list was too big? I'm just confused...
Yes, I would have wanted to see the graph of acquisitions weighted by purchase price but that data is hard to find for many acquisitions. Impact on business (e.g., revenue contribution) would be even better but requires subjective judgment and estimation.
This was my first thought as well. More and more devs are beginning to discover Svelte as a milestone in the evolution of Javascript. I would be surprised if it wasn’t already on the roadmap.

I have heard anecdotes of them linking accounts together and banning them all at once if one of the algorithms deems you unworthy.

Unless you are really splitting them, by using a different IP and browser characteristics for each of them... But then you are very likely to have them banned separately, due to suspicious behavior.
NFT, much like most Crypto doesn't 'do' anything here.

It's not a financial instrument that creates value.

'Private Corporations' enable people to group capital together to make useful stuff, that wouldn't happen otherwise.

'Public Exchanges' allow more transparency and broader classes of investors to participate in markets.

Investment Banks 'make markets' for financial instruments so companies can trade things like risk, among other things.

There's a lot of net value creation going on there even when it's fuzzy.

If NFTs can encourage people to give to a charity, that's great, but of course that shouldn't be necessary. Crypto that can't effectively be used as currency is not a value creator, at least not until they are exchanged as such.

This is frothy, bubble-ish kind of stuff that in my life I have seen implode twice, this time 'it may be different' in that it may not crash, but the value creation still isn't there. We should probably strive to do better than moving around deck chairs, even if it's with fancy math or AI.
> well, some NFTs do have thousands copies, etc. — they're not always unique

What? No. They are unique and not the same as the others, that's what makes them NFTs in the first place.

A NFT that has thousands of copies is just a cryptocurrency... You might mean that there are "collections" of NFTs, where the artwork happens to be the same and the author is the same. But each individual piece of that is it's own NFT and not a copy.
