Something that greatly surprised me when I worked in my first open plan office was that I didn't prefer any headphones or earbuds of any kind. I kind of melted into my work and sometimes looking up at people walking by or various smells, sounds, etc. would keep my mind active.
"because daily or multiple times a week shopping trips are infeasible."

Do they not have a refrigerator? Once per week trips (maybe even less) were the norm for me growing up, and I had plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.

I've lived in multiple rural areas. Yes, many people do get food from Walmart. I can see some of the more remote people preferring some processed food. I can also see those remote people growing and processing their own (canning, like I do). Many people use frozen veggies, which I don't consider processed and are nearly as good as fresh. Most of the "fresh" stuff you see is actually months old due to the way the supply chain works. It arguably loses as much or more nutritional value than the frozen stuff. This situation is completely different from the actual food deserts you get in the city. The rural people have the option to buy fresh but may choose not to. These people living in food deserts in the city don't have the option of fresh produce in the stores they go to. They generally don't have space to grow their own either. This lack of choice is the big issue.

Every area I've lived in has had farm stands and farmers markets. It has also had local stores that contract with local farmers for seasonal produce. Individual vendors/farmers do tend to have limited selection by focusing on one or two crops. But there are usually multiple farmers focusing on different things (and coordinating through the local grange). Yes, the majority of farms are monoculture soy or corn. These other farms are usually 90% that but maybe 10% other crops, like pumpkin, corn, watermelon, tomato, cantaloupe, onion, potato, honey, hops, etc. There are also CSAs that you can join for a variety of produce, including meat and dairy. My parents live in an area where the local dairy still has delivery service - that's right a good old fashioned milk man.

Dear dev team... please get back to work. Our brick & mortar business is still humming along, paying your salary and needs your help... and you now need us to 'buy the dip'.
Its due to that, automated selling probably, but mostly because of China adding increased scrutiny. CN is one of the biggest bases of bitcoin:

Being rehabilitated in a place where you have no freedom is generally not a reward. Working on yourself is hard and often painful. By this logic, getting clean is a reward to substance abuse disorder so we shouldn’t offer programs to substance abuse disorder sufferers to get them clean. But we know that not offering these programs practically guarantees continued suffering.

Additionally, the notion that there isn’t enough social programs to go around is a lie. There most certainly is enough social programs to go around, but our elected officials in America want to bolster the ultra wealthy and the mega corps instead. This is an artificial scarcity mindset that tries to make us pull each other down.
Actually it is not just personal preference. I remember reading studies that show that school children perform worse when there is background noise. Here's one article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ulterior-motives/201...
This person is writing from a lifetime of being poor, not being cash poor in-the-moment because of a salary.

This article resonates strongly with me. I grew up poor, too, and even though I have a 7 figure net worth now one of the first things I consider for anything is the cost. I don't have to, but I still do. I eat the low rent snacks and I use the company's daily cafeteria allowance to eat a sensible lunch and then take the rest home to share with the family. Being poor in America isn't just about money--it's about the psychological barriers and oppression that are erected.
At the same time, people used IRC because you could remain anonymous (with IP leakage being the only real issue). Matrix seems like a FBI honeypot asking you for email and phone number.

I seem to run into more and more responses like this these days. Instead of responding to any specific comment a person has written, it attempts to paint any differing opinion as being somehow immoral. I can't say that this type of approach is conducive to open discussion.
Good point, I hadn't considered this. The service quality has probably increased, product seems more active. As for the privacy/trust angle, I haven't seen as much public commenting from them but I haven't been looking for it. Seems fine so far.

I happen to be that sort of people that ignores people at work (whenever possible). That has nothing to do with my attitude/sentiment towards them. It's that being at work, most of the time I'm just absorbed, having something on my mind that I want to pay attention to. In that state I'd rather ignore everything and everyone around me, but I can't. Not answering to greetings from my peers would damage relations with them in the long run (not to mention that that greeting may be just an opener to something actually work related), and not answering to people higher up the chain of management would definitely have negative consequences, so I'm kind of forced to react to them. But then if sometime late the cleaning personnel happen to pass by, looking less like wanting to socialize with those at desks and more like wishing to get their tasks done and be over with, should both of us attempt to pay the time and effort of maintaining a human connection just for the sake of it?

It's definitely not anything to do with being poor. It's a confidence thing and having a will to learn and improve.

Throughout life we always learn from those who are more experienced. Your seniors are there specifically for seeking guidance.

You 100% should have spoken to teachers or tutors throughout school. Their job is to teach you and many of them enjoy sharing their knowledge and seeing someone want to better themsevles by going the extra distance to seek out information outside of the classroom.

Yes, sometimes people do have more important things to do. But no one is going to say "Go away, I don't care, I'm busy". They'll say "can we schedule this for another time?" and then you plan that.

Like, one of the most enjoyable things about my job is teaching other people things that I know and I think they can benefit from. I'll always have time for someone asking me question, it's never a bother. If someone else is blocked on work because they need help then I'll drop what I'm doing to aid them.
Can you please point me a source where Bitcoin is "desired" as a payment method? It's seen more of a store of value, not used for paying for everyday things.

Doesn't matter much. Below about 80km/h rolling resistance is dominant.

>What is the energy density delta between a HFCV and BEV currently?

Depends on what you're counting. Mirai's fuel cell stack, composite overwrapped tank, additional underbody and rear impact crash protection, high pressure filling system, cooling and fan intake system, and lithium battery together masses well over 400kg. Also takes up a lot of cabin and cargo space necessitating a larger vehicle.

Tesla's new 4680 batteries form part of the vehicle's structure and add free torsional rigidity, and will weigh roughly the same as a fuel system for 600km range. I imagine in the compact they'll package it into the unused area under the rear seat in order to drop the floor which should help with CdA.

IMO it doesn't need to be "better", there are different requirements and preferences among users and between Matrix, IRC and Jabber, each of those ecosystems got their own set of issues.
In my country the price to do adult soccer is "one soccer ball", many soccer fields are free, you just go and if no one is playing you can use it. The only problem is that you can't play at night because no one is going to turn on the light for you.

The fancier soccer fields with lights on cost 25€/hour, divided by 22 players it becomes just 1€ each ( and you still need to bring your ball )
But junk food is less filling and satiating than real food and much more dense calorically. You can eat lettuce all day and never consume the number of calories in a fast food burger.
The Matrix identity server system is entirely optional to use, and basically a separate system from the rest of Matrix. The reason for that is that there's not really any way to implement that specific feature in a decentralized way, so they did the next best thing by making it a centralized server that you can choose to use (opt-in) in case you want people to be able to find your Matrix ID based on your phone number or email address.

Don't want them to know your phone number or email address? Simply don't give it to them. It won't break your Matrix experience in any way. Using the centralized identity server is entirely opt-in for this specific reason.
To address unwrapping the GPIO set: this is caused by a (popular) misuse of embedded-hal traits. The traits are fallible to be general, but HALs use this as their primary API, and make it always pass. So unwrap is effectively clutter, and misdirection. The answer is to provide a primary API that's decoupled from the traits, and bolt on the traits to support generic drivers.

I'm really furious Coinbase for an unrelated incident.

I bought a bunch of BTC back in 2018 on Coinbase and just left it there, I rarely checked it. Fast forward to 2021 and I want to see how my portfolio has grown, only to be told my account was disabled. This was back at the beginning of March. So I contacted them and told them my issue. They sent me instructions on changing passwords, calling my mobile service provider etc. Some ridiculous stuff. I did it all. Only for them to tell me that they have to forward my case to a specialist. 3 weeks later, they come back to me telling me to repeat the same steps as I did before, and I complied, only for them to tell me they are again forwarding it to a specialist. Another 3 weeks later, they tell me to repeat the same steps in addition to taking a photo of myself holding my ID with a sign that says 'For Coinbase verification'. Did that degrading stuff too. Guess what they told me again, oops we are forwarding it to a specialist.

I don't know whether it is automated supported or what but this is absolutely disgusting and there is no name to the emails, just 'Coinbase Support'.
They also don't necessarily find themselves in places that are entirely car-dependent. You can't really get by without a car in most of the US, and it's by design. Even in big cities.

Let's keep this in perspective. 8.1% of prisoners in the US are in private prisons. Maybe that number is too high, but clearly it isn't the primary driver in US justice policy.
> yeah, eventually you just cut off those friends still working at McDonald's

That's profound. As "the friend in tech", I've never had this said to my face, but have definitely felt it. There's an us-versus-them mentality when it comes to dealing with those who aren't also in tech; that, somehow, there's no reason to be friends with those who aren't also white-collar professionals. What's more, my own tendency to be friends with non-professionals has in some cases alienated me - who wants to go to a housewarming where half of the people bring Bud Light and tell inappropriate jokes?

This split is something I've personally had a lot of trouble rationalizing.

> soccer/football is popular worldwide is because it's very cheap

Cheap, in terms of money. Expensive, in terms of time. Due to the lack of money to make time available, the poor often have no time for such diversions (even as children, since someone needs to pay the dues and take the child to practice/matches).

Also, if you're like most lower class Americans, you're likely selling your physical labor/wellbeing for a living, making more physical activity after work unappealing.
This doesn't surprise me one bit. Tech is just another white collar country club. The rules are just slightly different than the bankers country club and the surgeons country club and the lawyer's country club.

If you're not one of the people who typically joins that kind of club you can hack it but you won't feel like you belong or you might but it will take you many years.

Food deserts are a big problem. Most of the urban food deserts developed after major riots burned down existing grocery stores in the late 60s (and then again in the 80s in LA).

New food deserts now exist in Minneapolis (and likely other cities as well) after the recent rioting and burning there:

https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-longfellow-neighborh...

https://www.marketplace.org/2020/06/04/neighborhoods-where-s...

Ironically, in the most recent riots, many - perhaps most - of the destructive rioters were middle-class "activist" kids who don't have to live with the results of their actions.

Aside from the other issues mentioned by commenters i want to add that this perspective leaves out the whole nature vs nurture debate - so those clones would not automatically become geniuses.

no of course they are not saying that, they would be punished if they did (because it would be illegal).

This is neat, it reminds me of Hypothesis which does randomised property-based testing and if it finds a failing edge case it saves it to a database so that it's always used in future test runs.

That said, I suspect I'd find a similar limitation with this as with Hypothesis. Most of the tests I write aren't for pure functions, or require a fair amount of setup or complex assertions. It's possible to write test helpers that do all of this, and I do, but too much of that means tests that are complex enough to need their own tests, so I think it's important to balance.

This is probably specific to my normal work (Python, web services), but I'd suspect applies to a lot of testing done elsewhere.
sure and we require them to have a pass (you might know it as driving license) to mitigate the loss.

If you do not think that driving license counts, from the health angle, people with visual impairments are required to wear glasses (or have corrective surgery) to drive.

It all started with a game jam I did in April 2020. I enjoyed the result. And it kept popping back in my mind.

November 24th I picked it up again, full-time. I plublished One Way Dungeon last friday. So it was about five and a half month work. While I'm a professional (backend) software developer, and have played around with game dev, I never worked on and finished a game.

Last weekend I shared it with a small group of people (just to check everything was OK on their devices and with downloading it from Google Play.) And yesterday I started sharing it on the internet.

I don't have any concrete numbers to share. Google's reports are still a couple of days late. And I predict a spike on users starting yesterday.

I'm going back to a normal job because:

- I am unemployed. I have some savings but I don't want to spend more than I already have.

- I don't predict One Way Dungeon to generate enough income to keep me working on it indefinitely. I might be wrong. But competition in mobile gaming is fierce!

- I'm kinda missing working on backend. And working with people.

A channel gets noisy pretty fast if people don't use threads. People start answering something that was way back on the chat. There is a rule of thumb on a friend's of mine company where every new TOPIC should be in a thread. Otherwise, when you're gonna try to catch up everything that was discussed after a while there is only noisy and you have to read everything from the start even if you don't care on the discussed TOPIC. So, after a while you start ignoring all messages and mark the channel as read and go on with your life.
