Conscientiousness isn't a measure of objectivity, it's a measure of reliability, the capacity to work diligently and adhere to rules. It correlates with income well because we're living in a very institutionalized society that rewards people who adhere to rules and follow expectations.

In the US it's basically what upper middle-class WASP culture is and it sustains a large share of income because it's very good at reproducing itself and managing organisations, it's all the lawyers, and bureaucrats, politicians and administrators and so on, it's all the people who're really good at making schedules.

Right, so whoever wrote the software decided to give it a name identical to an existing English word, but would then balk at it being 'mispronounced'? If the developer didn't care enough about avoiding confusion then why the hell should I?

Case-sensitive naming is dumb.
Because money which isn't spent doesn't contribute to inflation. It might contribute to inflation, but prices don't increase in reaction to possible buyers, only actual buyers (or the expectation of actual buyers, but that's a short term effect since if the customer doesn't materialize you've still got bills to pay).

No joke. The font on my mom's phone is so large that buttons were "missing" from her parking app. I told her she had to be wrong, until I saw it myself. And that's also on a newer model galaxy note (big screen). She's in her 50s.
Right, which is why the "100% digital" world was just a thought experiment.... we don't live in that world, but we do live in a world where an increasing percentage of our money is spent on non-exclusionary goods.... that has to have an effect on inflation.
Subjective well being (SWB) comes to mind but not sure if that fits your definition. There are many other similar measures, like the ladder question.

Because EGS isn't the only store on the platform - if you can't sell through their store you can go elsewhere (or DIY it). They aren't obligated to sell your products, but you also aren't obligated to sell via their store.

On iOS it's outright impossible to have a native app that isn't distributed through the app store (testflight/enterprise apps aside). With Google Play it's technically possible but you're at a massive disadvantage not just due to Google Play's reach (which is fine) but due to technical and contractual limitations imposed by Google themselves (which is arguably not fine).
I'm not aware of any such studies, can you recommend one to start with?
Software AG's Webmethods is an oldno/low code middleware product, and I can assure you from a maintenance / transparency perspective it's a total disaster. Also it's used by lots of big organisations - supermarkets, logistics, manufacturing etc.

Yeah that’s it.

You know when you’re doing something you really like all day, you’re tired and fall right asleep and get great rest. That’s when you know you’re doing it right.
I think it is just to do with restlessness, and not the bed. When you are proper tired you can fall asleep anywhere in any position.
I've heard this captured concisely as 'Practice makes permanent'.
Well, the ECB is also printing, and the overseas cooperation is pretty good. But it's still visible on the currency charts that something is going on. Just go to Trading View and have a look. Also compare when money printing started after the "Rony Crash" in March 2020, and when a lot of stocks, commodities, and not least Bitcoin started mooning like crazy soon after. What you're witnessing is a giant transfer of wealth.
Using 'classes' doesn't imply OO. They're a perfectly good way to organize data, at very least for data objects in TS.

It's fine to want to go functionally heavy, but if you're not using classes - which are the foundation of 'types' - then why bother with 'type'script? (Unless you mean to say 'interface'? Which is obviously not 'class' but implies the same usage of OO-founded keywords)

And for some reason they seem to actively merge only tangentially-related questions and answers. I often see answers that have nothing to do with the question.
Inflation only improves the balance of trade if we inflate faster than our trading partners. Lately many countries have been engaged in a competitive currency devaluation race to the bottom.
Grades are shockingly dependent on completing busywork on time, so I am not at all surprised that conscientiousness beats intelligence there.
There is a typo below "User Management", "It" -> "If".

Yeah, I agree with most of it I think. I use a modified version of "pass" instead of "keepassxc", and I do not have anyone I really trust with pieces of my password. I think having a sentence as your password is the best (very easy to remember, difficult to crack), and you can append random characters to that at the end or wherever. It makes it even better if the sentence is not in English. :)

Thank you for reminding me of QR. There is a tool[1] written in Python that outputs the QR code as ASCII art to the terminal, or to a file as PNG. I will use it more in the future I think. You can get a QR scanner from F-Droid for Android. Be careful of executing "printf 'foo' | qr" though. Hide your processes with "hidepid=2" or something.

> common regex APIs that either return the end position (Python's re.match) or search (re.search).

Yeah, I probably should have explicitly said that's what the first translation (`[^a]|a[^b]|ab[^c]|...`) was for; it's a optimization (possibly-backtracking-parser -> [ND]FA) I've used a couple of times to beat things into guaranteed O(N) time.

> But parsing / capturing is more relevant to programmers.

I'd debate "more", since that's a additional thing on top of matching and searching. Any case where you need the former, you also need the latter to even know what to capture. But it's definitely something you do frequently need.
During lockdown I was feeling pretty burnt out myself which got me thinking: why are basically all jobs 9-5, 5 days per week? Why is there no variation on this model?

For my home use, I just switched to an Eero device. Not quite the same product categories, but my priority was software security, meaning that there are a very small number of workable options for home use.
Sure, so uh, there are many known ways to change this.

What's the hold-up?

You're describing what's been the case for quite some time, it doesn't explain why nothing's been done about it when just about anyone with a brain can see where it's headed.
How much do these ultra successful types actually over-work and how much is just posturing to trick the underlings to over-work?

In American Psycho Patrick Bateman has it pretty chill, spending all his working hours on watching TV, reading magazines and talking trash with his peers. I used to think it was just another example of how unhinged he was, but maybe it’s a comment on some kind of double standard on workload vs. compensation in the corporate life.
The Germans killed 5,000,000 people in Poland, but you are saying now the people at the time were not as afraid of them as the Soviets. Makes sense.
> If there are suddenly 100 million new people who want to buy a Netflix subscription, it isn't like we are going to see the price of a Netflix subscription go up because there isn't enough Netflix to go around.

No, it would go up because they would make more profits with fewer subscribers and a higher margin.

The Creator's Dilemma – What Substack Can Learn from Wikipedia
Nope.

Every Physical atom in the universe is nothing but Energy.

The universe itself has infinite energy.

So, in a Singularity World (where Robots produce everything, including other Robots), the marginal cost for everything (like Netflix videos) will collapse to $0.
As I understand it, the physical blind spots are getting larger in very recent model years as the car shapes keep changing. The blind spot monitors are partly a compensation for this, so you need to compare driving experience in these rather than with an older model where we easily drive without such electronic aid.

It's not clear to me how much of this change to the car shape is driven by competing safety standards, i.e. side impact and rollover protection, and how much it is the continuous march of fashion/stylistic tweaks.
My grandfather lived in 98 never exercised in his life. I know it’s an anecdote, but it’s still data.
Ohh I thought it was a quick path to avoid walking altogether. Ok now it make sense somehow.
No — I think I read it on here some while back. So simple and easy to remember; I love it and love repeating it!
>I am curious how much of our current "low inflation even with an increasing money supply" is caused by our increasing spending on non-exclusionary goods.

Not much? Based on the CPI weights given by the BLS[1] at least 82.238% of the CPI is from non digital goods. This is based on summing up the top level categories which are definitely not digital, ie. Food and beverages, Housing, Apparel, Transportation, Medical care. If you drill down into the remaining categories (Education and communication, Recreation, Other goods and services) and eliminate non-digital goods from there you can probably get that percentage even higher.

I don't judge, just state the fact that he will not let any of his employees take even smallest piece of the show. Everything is about Elon Musk and only him, no one else is allowed to speak or show any achievement - anonymous bunch of idiots who can't even run factory without Musk showing everyone how to do their job. And they would apparently be nothing without the self proclaimed genius. Sorry I thought it only happens in North Korea but I was wrong.
It is not as complicated as fitting defeat devices to diesel vehicles and lying about emissions repeatedly. I hardly see the value of your comment. Is it Elon’s and Teslas responsibility to work with old-guard car manufacturers to ensure compatibility? Anyway I think you mistake the purpose of a vision.
But if the government raises taxes you don’t get to sue for lost expected income (absent some specific extenuating circumstances), do you?
If you zoom out to 20 years it shows that back in 2011 the same thing happened; did we have hyperinflation in 2011 or huge price increases in food in 2011?
Well, since March 2020 the Euro has increased in value to the US Dollar.
My expectation is that most proteins would be broken down into their amino acids before being absorbed. Maybe it's just the law of large numbers that lets some through? It seems like a pretty spectacular feat to be cooked, digested, and enter the brain intact.

Really enjoyed this article. Fascinating to see the resistance to testing back when he started, and how he used a bit of clever marketing to change the way people thought about it.

Interesting that he's very happy with

expect(expected).to.equal(actual)

I wonder if `assert` or `check` or even `test` makes us think differently about what we're doing (in the assertion itself, not in the method name to set up the test).
I agree with this for those trying to create their own business.

I disagree for most salaried positions though - soft skills, politics and luck play a huge role

> A bet like that is putting a large part of Linux desktop app development in the hands of Google

Sure, but other Linux distributions are available. I'm not trying to respond in a facetious way, but since I started using Linux in around 1993-94 (Slackware), that was how you voted, with your feet, when something really annoyed you.

> Why not stick with established players like Qt, who actually have a proven sustainable business model...etc

Well, if you're a developer then keep using Qt, you're free to do so. Isn't this how it's supposed to work?

Is his secret that the media keep writing articles like this about him because they can't help themselves?
You know what would align the incentives beautifully? A law that says that if someone gambles money they can't afford to lose then they are allowed to claw the money back.

The gambler can get their mortgage money back, automatically gets banned from casinos, and maybe the casino would try to prevent the situation from arising in the first place.
Economies of scale dictate the opposite.

Fixed costs stay the same no matter the subscriber count, this would allow Netflix to lower the price, while maintaining the same profits. In reality, they would likely keep the price the same and increase their margins without charging more.
Is it really that difficult to just update a database value to trigger action by a listening process that checks for that value on a short time interval? No extra libraries needed and the shell and web server world remain completely separate.
Ah yes, we have tons of these folks in AZ, frequently they're the same people with the "Don't tread on me" stickers and flags that seem to think "don't tread on me" means "But I can tread on you."
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Debtors prisons have been around for thousands of years
It's just posturing. The same people who complain all the time, for sympathy.
"The roots of this phenomenon can be traced back to the 'Protestant work ethic' in the 16th Century - a worldview held by white Protestants in Europe that made hard work and the quest for profit seem virtuous. Sally Maitlis, professor of organisational behaviour and leadership at the University of Oxford, says that "later, the drive for efficiency that arose out of the Industrial Revolution", as well as the way we prize productivity, have "further embedded the value of consistent hard work, often at the cost of personal wellbeing".

The roots of the valorization of work may well have been religious, and maybe Christian (though I very much doubt it's exclusively Christian in its origin), but it's definitely spread throughout much of the world, even among the non-religious and even atheist population.

I can't count the number of times I've heard people praise others as "hard working"... in all sorts of contexts, in many different parts of the world, native or immigrant, hard work is praised to the heavens and one of the best things you can say about a person is that they're hard working.

I almost never hear the value of working hard being questioned, except when the subject turns to burnout. Then everybody nods sagely and agrees that overwork is bad.. the next day they go back to praising hard workers.
That is a great take on it! My take was the higher up you go, the more meaningless the work is. As in paper pusher vs innovator. Though I imagine near to and at C level it may be different.
David Goggins, not Higgins. I got excited that this was from the rally driver :)
Seems to me that maybe smart roads would be better? If there's sensors that communicate back and forth provide additional wifi boosts for cars on the grid, etc... L5 could come via cheating...expecting a car to do everything itself is going to be rough... but when a street can give you data about everything on it -- pedestrians, bikes, etc...it'd be easier to build to l4.9 automation...

Musk needs to team up with the Biden Administration and work in tandem on infrastructure - that may be the only way we see self-driving road-ready cars before 2040.
No, you are wrong. Maintainership, and the quality thereof, is an excellent argument when talking about ANY software project, Free Software project or not.
I think you may be comparing single-core turbo against all-core turbo speeds. ark.intel.com doesn't list the 8175M, but all the similar models have 2.1GHz all-core turbo with single-core turbo around 3.7 or 3.8 GHz. Other sources list the 8175M as having a base frequency of 2.5GHz and single-core turbo of 3.5GHz.
Protecting someone’s property is not the same as taking away someone’s right to their property. When the state does the former, it is a liberal state, when it does the latter it is a tyrannical state.

If you aren’t suggesting the state take away my ability to provide inheritance to my descendants, then what is the function of calling inheritance anti-democratic? Are you suggesting that a true democracy does not allow individuals to leave inheritance to their descendants?
I think this points more to the issue. "How are you feeling" is subjective.

As far as I am aware, there is no psychological measure/test which is not subjective. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

To me, this is why neurology is hard science and psychology is soft science.
Do those times you just feel tired for no reason happen to correlate with being after the times you ate carbs? I'm not suggesting that's definitely the issue, but people underrate simple physical explanations for stuff like this. Sometimes you have some deep seated insecurities and sometimes your body just isn't functioning but your brain isn't cognizant of it and can't realize that's the issue.
There is one problem really. These companies are not charging money for their services. It's the same problem with other mega-corps. They can afford short and medium-term losses to kill other players entering the field. This is the root cause of so many problems in capitalism.

There are of course other challenges preventing people and corporations from entering this field but at this point I don't even think there's hope. They have not only destroyed everyone else in the private sector, but they partnered with governments and political entities in such a way that their continued rule is basically cemented in place. You won't get the recommendations that you know would be good for you because they're not trying to do something good for you, they're trying to extract more value from you.
Sure, but that doesn't say anything about inflation.

The standard formula for profit is (units sold * price per unit) - (fixed costs + marginal costs * units sold).... Netflix, like every other company, wants to maximize that profit.

For most non-digital companies, the marginal cost is significant, and follows a u-shaped curve... at first, marginal costs decrease as you sell more units, since you can get intermediate goods for cheaper prices as you buy in bulk. At a certain point, however, the marginal price starts increasing again as you start to hit various bottlenecks and intermediate goods start becoming more expensive as you consume all the easy to produce supply. In other words, you can't scale linearly.

Digital goods have a much flatter uptick on that marginal cost graph, and I am very curious what that means at the macro economic level.
Part of problem and solution you describe was due to the battle to define who is encapsulating whom, no? The W3C SVG list archive was full of people essentially asking for the ability to flow text and replicate a lot of HTML as part of native SVG. In that dream, it's certainly important to have well-defined behavior for javascript inside SVG since you could have SVG user agents that aren't web browsers. And that means CDATA to hold the non-XML scripting and styling data.

However, at the end of that history HTML was the clear encapsulator and SVG exists either inside it or as a static image in Inkscape, the browser, or some library. So today, scripts inside an SVG are either a curiosity or security nightmare that comes to life when the user clicks "View Image" on an SVG image in their browser.

That leaves only the `<style>` tag content as a potential ambiguity. So I'm curious-- are there examples where content of a `<style>` tag inside an inline SVG causes unpredictable behavior in modern browser HTML parsers? I'm guessing there must be, but I'd like to play with a clear example.

If I understand correctly, you're suggesting "Who are you" wasn't directed at me personally, "the person" wasn't referring to the OP but all possible authors, and "the question" wasn't referring to, well, the original SO question at hand, but the class of all possible questions.

If so, then I see, I think: perhaps it was more intended as "Who is anyone to know the purpose and utility (of a question) better than the person who asks that question?"

I can't answer that, since I agree with the sentiment. I'm only really pondering this one specific question, made possible because there's so much extra context with which to interpret the original text. My personal hubris doesn't generalise to the class of all possible questions, and I'd struggle to sympathise with anyone making such an ambit claim.

But then, maybe it wasn't even a question at all.
