According to the first result from Google [1], men who died of stroke lost 11.4% of their lifespan on average. Using figures form my post above, an average person working 55 hours will lose 3.87% of lifespan due to stroke compared to 2.85% for a person working "normal" hours.

With life expectancy of 82 years, it's a difference of about 300 days (and, statistically, these will be the lower quality days at the end of life) - in exchange for over 20,000 extra productive hours over 30 years, i.e. for ability to become world-class at two more things. Well yes, that is worth it, without a question.

To answer your question, I have just finished client work for the year, will attempt to bootstrap a company now. Which itself is just means to another goal. I would sacrifice so much more than 300 days for it..

I built a full text search functionality with SQLite in Go for searching a sql database of Magic cards, and I was impressed with how well SQLite handled it. I'm not surprised by this finding at all, I've found that even fairly complex queries on different cards are still plenty fast.
At this point I really wouldn't dare making any projection on the future of cryptocurrencies. You can't rationalize irrationality. Let me remind you that currently Doge coin, a literal joke fork of LiteCoin that traded for a fraction of a cent mere months ago, is the fifth biggest cryptocurrency by market cap and is being pumped by Elon Musk for some reason.

I have literally no idea what that space is going to look like one week from now.

~50M of PRC "FARA" influence are likely legal media campaigns - full page ads, sponsored editorials etc. This likely doesn't include social media influence campaigns run out of PRC proper like building up twitter presence over last couple years.

IMO Long over due and prudent asymmetric investment. PRC can't compete against US media/propaganda, but relatively easier to target divisive US polity as Russians pioneered. Reverse not so true, PRC GFW and crippling of western NGOs has dramatically limited western influence.

Also keep in mind US just passed bill to spend 300M annually on Countering Chinese Influence Fund, with addition 100M annually on USAGM / Radio Free Asia. Layer on FLG Media / Bannon & Guo and PRC has a long way to go.
I'm really impressed with the list of data sources (120+) you have at launch. How long did you spend integrating each of these tools?

Having some experience here, I can say that this is typically not a quick process since it depends so much on third-parties, so it's really cool you have such a large library of connectors.
A couple of years ago I got what I thought was a dream job - my title was Research Scientist. I was working for a manager that was 20+ years younger then myself. What I didn't know going in was that he'd never managed anyone before - and suddenly he was managing 6 people.

From the start it was clear that he was in over his head. He'd come into meetings (late because he had so many meetings) and start firing questions at people like a machine gun. He wasn't listening to the answers. He wasn't listening to our input at all. He was constantly second guessing everyone in the group. He'd ask someone a question in a meeting and then after they answered he'd ask someone else if that was the right answer and keep going until he got an answer he liked.

After a couple of months he started having several of us give him 2 status reports / day. We were working on deliverables for another group and our manager clearly had not communicated with that other group to gauge their expectations - I had done that and knew what they expected and it was a lot less than what our manager thought they expected in the given timeframe (if he were right we would've all had to be pulling all-nighters for weeks and even then... well, that just doesn't work). I put up with this for about a week. I was at least 25 years older than all the others in the group and several of my coworkers were on H1B's and thus were scared to rock the boat, so I figured it was up to me. Finally I sent the manager an email in which I told him that in 30 years of work experience I had never had a manager that micromanaged to the level that he was doing and that I thought it was best if I moved on - essentially I quit. He called a hasty meeting with me for that afternoon and he was all apologetic and promised that he'd try to listen and do better as a manager. I reluctantly agreed to stay on. He did do better (at least to me, not to some of my younger coworkers) for about a month. But then he started slowly slipping back into his previous ways. I found another job and left. There was really no other alternative. I felt sorry for my coworkers who felt stuck there without any recourse. One of the other workers who was closer to my age quit the day I did - without giving 2 weeks, he was just gone - can't say as I blame him. The bottom line is that this guy should have never been allowed to manage people - and definitely not 6 people - without having had a lot of training in how to manage.
I basically agree; I think claiming "go is for managers" was a bit flip of me to say, but what I generally mean is that Go is more optimized for operational concerns than for the joy of programming. It's also not a pejorative: there's a lot of good reasons you might choose Go and why you might like it as a programmer.

I just had storage fail on my first gen touchbar macbook. It's a PITA, the storage is soldered onto a board. They replace the board, the can't recover the data (didn't expect them to). I'd pay the extra mm or two it would require them to just use a standard like m2. SSD storage just fails after awhile, especially if you do lots of things that thrash the disk.
They also sent non eldery COVID infected patients to nursing homes.

FWIW I suspect this is a case of mass hysteria or other psychogenic illness but there really are microwave weapons out there in the real world, and the Havana syndrome symptoms are quite similar to the results of microwave attacks (or accidental exposure, eg a sailor who steps in front of a powerful radar array). In fact I suspect the growing awareness of microwave weaponry - which are sincerely terrifying - makes the prospect of psychogenic illness more likely.

> If there exist an blood test as the article claim it's should point to an chemical source rather then an electromagnetic source of the illness

That’s not true - an EM attack could conceivably affect the blood chemistry directly (radiation can destroy proteins and cause complex organic reactions). But the symptoms themselves will also leave biomarkers that can be picked up - hormones, transmitters, etc. Even if it was a case of mass hysteria you could probably design a low-sensitivity blood test around it.

Except for the "American Inflation Mortgage Adjustment Act" that will be passed to allow lenders to increase mortgages to adjust for inflation. Probably pushed by the same people that passed the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act.
Sure you can. Make an application that is frozen from future features but can still communicate with the platform at a basic level. Text Messages have been with us for centuries and still compatible with nearly 99% of devices.

Feature updates normally consist of "your device isn't supported and lock the user out without saying Good Bye.

If you create a platform that holds the basic for all versions and don't introduce new features to that; you won't have so much e-waste nor much maintenance upkeep.

Right. And on top of that, one of the useful benefits of a TUI is that you can use them while ssh'd into a remote server. If your fancy TUI is expecting to get raw access to the keyboard, it's not going to work in a ssh session.
This is silly, you can't detect key up or keyb down in a tty, you detect what the terminal emulator gives you: chars and Esc sequences.

It's as sane as asking why you can detect joystick movements or the kettle boiling.

It bothers me how little people understand about the terminal and "the command line", despite using it everyday.

If people read man bash from top to bottom they would probably get a feel for what is going on. Learn how changing the title of your tty works and there is not much left to _not_ understand.
Yes, but a tree that isn't growing isn't trapping much carbon dioxide either.
Some applications prefer to provide a ui for the user to configure a hotkey. This is naturally discoverable within the scope of the other settings in its preferences screen.

Providing a cli interface for automation or binding a hotkey is imo more powerful and useful but its not discoverable. Doubly so for a controlling it over dbus.

The logical thing is that since there is a substantial use case and a desire to limit applications access to global info is that a permission system ought to have been built into Wayland such that applications could request not only global access to the keyboard but permission to get a notification when a particular key press happened.

Since this feature was a staple of desktop operating systems for decades it ought to have been part of the plan from the start.
Memphis Meats Rebrands as Upside Foods
Also related, since we are talking about Michael Burry (alias Cassandra on twitter), besides the subprime mortgage shorting in 08, another interesting bet he made was with GME (gamestop) against the shortsellers.

To clarify, Burry was long on GME, I think his bet was done in January, and ended it late december, so very likely more than 5x returns.
It wasn't. The 1920 price swings (larger than the Great Depression) were also largely unrelated too.
Yep. Dynamic compression has ruined all popular music mastered (or "remastered") since the late '90s.

It's incredible how many people don't understand that the problem isn't data compression, but rather dynamic compression. You have guys like Neil Young and Bob Dylan railing against how shitty music sounds now, but then promoting super-high-bitrate or high-resolution formats. NO! That's not the problem.

We need "HDR" music. It's sad that we have to say this in an era where everyone has the technical means to hear great-sounding music.... and there's none being made.
This and also transients - they sound in a specific way through the way the compression works. Once you hear it, it is difficult to stop paying attention to it.
Which is also funny, because it's apparently convoluted enough in English to have us regularly shorten it to "you had to be there" (which sounds correct, even though I'm fairly sure it's ungrammatical.
> The end effect being that if you work for a company and you don't have a huge hiring budget you don't go looking for developers in esoteric languages.

The salaries breakdowns I have seen did not worked like this at all. Esoteric languages paid less. I think it was mostly because those companies were in unstable businesses and because people who like those languages accept pay cuts more often. The salaries for boring languages were higher.

And second, the assumption that only difficult thing that can possibly attract people is difficult/esoteric language is odd. If you are in that situation, then you are in fundamentally easy situation. In fact, forums are full of developers for whom frameworks used in jave world are impenetrably complicated to learn. I can't square that with supposed superior willingness to learn. (I can easily square not liking these.)
This is exactly the reason the fed is ok with current inflation readings. Huge debt bubble in the American middle and working class, along with a low growth economy. The only way to get rid of the debt currently is to inflate it away.
You may find this interesting. The author argues against 96khz+ sample rates, but pegs the optimal rate to be around ~60hkz (which of course doesn’t exist in practice).

> I never understood how anyone can be fine with dynamic build dependencies?

There's 132,059 lines of Makefile code that's generated to o/$(MODE)/depend e.g.

o//libc/stubs/gcov.o: \
libc/stubs/gcov.S \
libc/macros.internal.h \
libc/macros.internal.inc \
libc/macros-cpp.internal.inc \
ape/relocations.h

That much code can't be written by hand, and if you don't write that, then your build targets won't be invalidated correctly. You'll end up with a non-deterministic unreliable build, which is much worse than generating some unfancy make that causes the make process to bootstrap itself. Goal is to get those hex perfect reproducible binaries with minimal toil.

Also, when you write build configs, do you depend on system-provided tools and libraries? Such as some .so file or the python interpreter? The cosmopolitan mono repo doesn't do that. It currently only requires the make, sh, zip, mv, rm, touch and gzip commands. I'd ideally like to make it more hermetic but so far that hasn't been an issue, since the above tools are so stable.
That seems intuitively true, but apparently it's still debated whether old- or new-growth forests are more carbon-negative.
It was never about the mortality rate, it as always about protecting our hospital capacity from being overwhelmed, which would have caused significant loss of life and health above and beyond COVID's own death toll (which itself was very significant - even with the insane restrictions it was the 3rd leading cause of death in 2020). It's hard to imagine how anyone at this juncture could not know all of this.

It looks like Umami does some of that. But I found that Google Analytics does none of it, and in fact year-over-year seems to cut back on the amount of useful information. The main advantage now is they show referring search terms, which servers logs would show, but they broke that on purpose with their search result self-referring links.
Maybe it's because people such as ourselves aren't the target of said propaganda. We're a small fraction of the population. Frankly, most people are content consuming drivel of all kinds, and propaganda may actually have an influence over them.

If that's the tactic, it's genius. Find the boundary where intellectuals dismiss the propaganda as ineffectual yet it still works on the 80% to some degree.
Gonna have to buy the AirPods Max Pro, I guess.
I'm having a hard time with this one since from the article it doesn't seem like Burry is seeing anything that isn't very well discussed/analyzed already regarding Tesla. Short sellers have gotten very burned in the past in gambles like this, but they've also sometimes made money. Given how historically irrational the market has been about Tesla, this just seems like a gamble rather than the well-reasoned short position based on deep (and unpopular) analysis that his subprime mortgage play was.
It won't happen because banks own that debt, and they don't want those assets to get inflated away.

I had to go back to the original parent's post to make sense of your reply. I found the parent's post to be an accurate, tongue-in-cheek description of the evolution of the English language. It clearly wasn't written by a native speaker and makes more sense if you substitute "German"[1] with "Germanic". I can see why an English native speaker might take offense. I am a native speaker also but I don't take offense. English serves as a pretty awful lingua franca which has cursed most of the world with struggling to make sense of its inconsistencies, but there's nothing to be done about that now.

Also keep in mind the topic of this discussion, which is a humorous diatribe against the modern German language (written in beautiful, flowing English by one of its best writers to have ever lived). A native German speaker could quite easily take offense at it. I happen to have struggled through obtaining German fluency in my college years and while I wouldn't agree with everything that Twain wrote, I find his piece hilarious.

[1]: "German" being an originally Roman Latin term for a group of related peoples speaking, what amounts to closely related dialects rather than separate languages. The definition of "language" is also really indistinct. It really comes down to mutual intelligibility than anything else, see Norwegian, Danish, Swedish (separate "languages" but mutually intelligible). You're certainly aware that the modern Germans call themselves and their language "Deutsch" -- an old word for "people" and that was the case in English in the past, see the "Pennsylvania Dutch" who most certainly don't come from the Netherlands or speak modern Dutch. Old English had liberal use of the term "þéod" (people) which is cognate to "Deutsch"/"Dutch". The country of "Germany" has only really existed since 1871.
The problem was always what do you do when the hospitals reach capacity? I have still not seen any solution to this? Because if nothing is done to mitigate that eventually hospital staff themselves will quit/burn out and that's assuming they're not down with covid themselves.
Probably because nobody on earth wants what would be the convenient design to dictate how they use something.
A tree cannot live forever. Once it is dead all (or almost all) accumulated carbon slowly released back into atmosphere as CO₂ by bacteria. So cutting trees and preserving them from decay is a carbon negative process in a long run.
Sure, and that'd be fine for a special-purpose app that you use for yourself, but imagine being a regular user and installing this app, and the author wants you to install something on both the client and server side, and to run ssh in this unusual way. And you have to ensure that you have the proper permissions for raw access to the keyboard on the client side.

If it's something that truly requires that sort of experience to work properly, ok, but if it's just a sort of "I want a fancy text UI that requires key-up events", this process is a bit much to ask of your users.
>> What do you think are examples of Chinese propaganda?

How about cancel culture? It may have started in the US, but I'm sure they're happy to stoke the flames. Or what about the phenomenon a teenagers thinking they're transgender? Sure some people are, but among teenagers today it's becoming sort of a fad (cult even) and it's heavily promoted on TikTok and other social media. Anything to create sharp divides of is something they might promote even if they didn't start it, it doesn't have to be pro-China propaganda.
Unsurprising, as there aren't any BT codecs that could provide the necessary bandwidth. By its very nature BT audio is lossy and compressed.

This seems like a bit of a non-story, though it does highlight the value there would have been in giving the AirPods Max a high quality wired audio option.
For an event that can only happen to you once (to a first approximation), the risk is almost negligible. Moreover that or any other IFR number does not reflect an actual risk to any actual person — risk to young healthy individuals is negligible, even though risk to vulnerable persons is decidedly not.

Michael Burry shorted the mortgage backed securities market before most other short sellers. He even suffered from redemptions of his fund and had to disallow them to stop the hemorrhage. Let’s see if his timing is closer to the downwards inflection point now. The market seems super frothy now and I am wary of calling the moment of the inevitable downward spiral. Seen this movie many times before. Just always called it too early (which means you lose). I think being a momentum trader is very hard and requires nerves of steel.

Neutron radiography is fascinating. It hybridizes well with traditional x-ray imaging because the two radiations attenuate to different elements. Depending on the materials, you can get some amazing images and valuable insights. For example, you can count the individual grains in a sealed cartridge or see variable densities in 3d printed ceramic composites.

When people will be able to vote on individual issues, and will be able to introduce new law projects, the whole dynamics of voting will change. Because people will be able to trade votes.

Buying a phone for someone so that your law gets one more vote will be very natural, so all the poor people will get new phones very soon. And that will not be a bad thing, because politician will not be able to buy votes then pass a law to take the same money back from people. In effect this will morph into a sort of UBI, where some people pay others to keep society running with laws that they think are beneficial for everyone. And people who think they know better will be able to gather in separate cities and try out the laws they think will be better.
