I’ve referred to myself as a German taxpayer the same way I call myself a permanent resident of Germany, and feel this entitles me to write my local member of the Bundestag - who apparently agrees, responding with a far more direct email addressing the topic than I’ve ever gotten from my US senators or congressman.

I am a bit bothered by things that say “BürgerInnen” have the right to something all legal residents have (like the Covid-19 vaccine), for fear that some of the less foreigner-friendly types are tacking on a “Staats-“ prefix in their heads, but that’s on me.

The most important thing to do would be disabling turbo boost. On linux that's

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo # intel
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost # amd

together with disabling noisy background services that's the most significant reduction in noise. There are further steps that can be taken but for CPU-bound microbenchmarks they only provide incremental improvements in my experience.

IO benchmarks are trickier. SSDs have thermal throttling too, there's the OS write cache, the SLC cache performance cliff and other factors.
The model is complete nonsense.

If you are an employer in a jurisdiction with pay transparency, and you need to get a superstar employee, you just create a titled position for them. Then you can justify paying them 350% the average wage.

The paper claims that there will be a wage equilibrium. Yes, for average employees there will be a wage equilibrium, and average employees will see their wages increase because of this.

The paper tries to claim that this wage equilibrium will negatively affect superstar employees. This is complete nonsense. It bases this on the assumption that employers cannot justify discriminating between normal employees and superstar employees. But this is an unwarranted assumption. Literally just give the guy a title. Secondly it assumes that even for these superstar employees their wage would reach an equilibrium. This is another misguided assumption, because these superstar employees are not a fungible resource like the rest of the employees in the same occupation. They very likely possess unique experience and skillsets. So the pay of other superstar employees should not have any bearing on how much they themselves get paid.

Basically the model seems to think that somehow all the employees are equal and entirely fungible, but at the same time some employees somehow manage to negotiate much higher salaries.

Now of course I am not an economist so it is ridiculous to believe that I have found the fatal flaw in a published paper, but because of the political nature of such articles I find it hard to trust the "hard numbers". I remain skeptical.
500k$ after tax is what, 300k$? Subtract 40k$ living expenses which is very much on the low end, and you end up saving 260k$/year. Assuming 5.5% real world market returns, takes 12 years to get to 4M$.
Yes, unless you’re going to say Joe Rogan who I fit under natural wellness.
Thanks! I figured it meant that, but nice to see it without having to mess around.
> Our model predicts that transparency reduces the individual bargaining power of workers, leading to lower average wages.

But, are those of us advocating for pay transparency trying to increase the average wage, though, or trying to reduce pay disparity?
I think they can, but it's not directed as such yet. I mean how often have you had a catchy ad tune or catchphrase stuck in your head? like the McD's whistle / catchphrase, or EA Sports, or the really catchy sex phone line tune, or 0118 999 88199 9119 725... 3
I appreciate you attempting to explain.
As a single-sample statistic I can share with you, I like to think I'm a well seasoned C/C++ developer, and have experience with all sorts of relatively low-level technical stuff and a good grasp on the internals of how things (like e.g. the kernel) work.

Yet I got confused the first time ever some README told me to run "npm install blah". WTF is NPM? I didn't care, really, I just wanted to use blah. Conversely, later I worked with Node devs who would not know where to even start if I asked them to install a C++ toolchain.

The point is don't assume too much about the background of the people reading your instructions. They don't have in their heads the same stuff you take for granted.

Also linked in the article, scientists have experimented on communicating with Lucid dreamers (low-tech version of Inception), asking yes/no and simple maths questions.

The researchers asked 158 questions of the lucid dreamers, who responded correctly 18.6% of the time, the researchers report today in Current Biology. The dreamers gave the wrong answer to only 3.2% of the questions; 17.7% of their answers were not clear and 60.8% of the questions got no response. The researchers say these numbers show the communication, even if difficult, is possible

The scientists questions were incorporated into the lucid dreamers dreams:
One dreamer reported math problems coming out of a car radio. Another was at a party when he heard the researcher interrupting his dream, like a narrator in a movie, to ask him whether he spoke Spanish.

Yes, if ten years later you assume magic stock-picking skills then you can outperform the market. There's no strategy or anything interesting here. You're not 'investing in companies that a decade ago were already very big', you're cherrypicking a few such companies based on their returns.
It's the tax that is German, not necessarily the payer. Also when it comes to foreign citizens paying taxes in Germany it is a bit more nuanced. In general German tax law goes to great lengths to avoid double taxation, so no matter who you pay your taxes to you are treated fairly.
> And people will say "that's invalid because sometimes you really do need to do something clever and the 'what' needs to be documented" or whatever.

Yep, that'll happen, and when it does, you document why you documented the 'what'! :P

This looks really cool! Do they allow customizing gestures / "key bindings"? (Some of them don't look too comfortable and give me RSI just from looking at them.)

I also wish they allowed using two of these things at the same time (on both hands) so that one could type on a "virtual" QWERTY keyboard instead of having to resort to weird multi-finger gestures.
> Epstein wasn't even the first guy to come up with this idea. CIA did.

Sorry, but the CIA certainly did not invent sextortion either. That idea is probably older than the steam engine and should be blatantly obvious to any human with genitals and a brain. Heck, this should even be obvious for people working at a patent office.

> scrounge up their "lost" MKULTRA

assuming they haven't been deliberately destroyed.

> As long as we don't know, we can only assume the craziest conspiracy theories about treason and political control are true.

Also, please don't forget that times were different. I have whole book on crazy and ethically questionable research sitting on my shelf, and most of the MKULTRA shenanigans fit perfectly in there, along with a lot of the stuff that was done at the time.

One of the more memorable examples from the top of my head: In the early 1960s at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, alcoholics were injected Scoline while letting them sniff and taste some liquor. This completely blocked all muscle action, including the ability to breath[1]. The idea was to condition them to associate the panic and fear of imminent death with alcohol. This was done without the patients prior knowledge or informed consent. And have you ever even heard of that research before?

The main difference here is that the CIA had orders of magnitudes more funding and better shielding from consequences, thus the ability to take this much further.

I'm not trying to downplay MKULTRA here, what I'm trying to say is that you need to put the "What on earth were they thinking?" into a historical perspective, instead of jumping to "subverting their own government with mystery mind control" (well, foreign governments maybe, if it turns out to work; we are talking about the CIA after all).

I could easily imagine a meeting that went along the lines of "We must research this because the Russians might do so! We cannot have a mind control substance gap!", followed by "this needs to be super secret, we can't recruit volunteers.", and after throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks eventually spinning out of control because of morally corrupt people in positions with power and zero responsibilities ending up doing unethical things.

Also, if you are an organization in the US that does anything vaguely military/defense/intelligence related, I don't think you need to subvert the government to have money thrown at you (which conspiracy theories often seem to describe as the end game).

> employment gap is hard to explain

As soon as somebody demands me to explain employment gap I consider the next offer. Because that is bullshit. Why do I have to explain my life? I'm not a slave for whom it would be a crime to live a life instead of always working when not sleeping.
What did you mean to emphasize here? Cos what I'm seeing is the language feature (ES6's "shorthand properties"), not something inherent to `console`.
As far as I know we already understand quite a lot about the neurological basis of addiction. Some treatments already exist but the main problems with them are social & political ones. Discovering better drugs would be really useful, but this can & is being done computationally. In addition, such research may also produce techniques for creating addictions & otherwise more effectively controlling human beings.

I interpreted @umvi's comment to mean they took "many hours" of research [during the days/weeks before election day] to decide which candidate to vote for in the down-ballot races. They said this to support their proposition that it might be easier to sway voter's down-ballot votes with poll gifts because it takes a lot of personal time to research the policies of low-profile candidates (i.e., candidates who aren't Trump/Biden). Voters who haven't spend that time might plausibly sell those votes for a free water bottle.

Sounds like you may have interpreted @umvi's comment to mean they took "many hours" to fill out the ballot [on election day]. So, you gave a rundown of your ballot's mechanics as an example of how a ballot can be designed in a way that doesn't take "many hours" to complete.

Many of the popular rust cli tools like ripgrep, exa, delta, etc -do- have package manager install options.

How dare people writing cli tools not package them conveniently for my distro. The horror of using cargo instead of cloning the source and praying make/meson/etc works.

Feel free to package and maintain these tools yourself for your distro if you want.
Our 13 year old has the youtube culture ingrained as well, with a lot of things he feels like he should voice his opinion even if nobody asked, or he comes out with some BS that he knows nothing about, but instead of going "I don't know" he'll just say it with confidence. I'm sure that's a youtube thing, because silence and not having an opinion won't get you those dank views.

It's the only async channel that works with all people as long as you have their phone number. Anything else requires that you use a specific app or network. Email is too formal for most people and, I've discovered, some people don't have it set up on their phones, so it can become too async/slow.

That depends on whether or not you think the Jira ticket will outlast your code or not. If the company will definitely never replace Jira then no. If there is a chance that they will, and for your sake I really hope there is, then you'll need a better comment.
Interesting thank you.

I am not very artistic so never got into drawing or sketching, I do understand the stroke width point though, my school required us to use fountain pens (as a left-handed person, it's probably the the single biggest reason I've avoided hand-writing ever since, what a nightmare!).

I use a Uni Kuro Toga Roulette I got from Japan for measurements and technical drawings I do at home, but I don't do any of that professionally to say how good it is. The key point for me is that it's always sharp every time I reach for it.

I have wooden pencils but when I grab those (infrequently, usually for marking wood or walls etc for DIY), I find they need sharpening, and some times the end isn't pointed enough to mark a wall through a screw-hole. I use them infrequently enough that I rarely bother sharpening them after I'm done, and they get thrown in a drawer or tool box as-is.
Ads can increase but consumers disposable income is finite. This inevitably means the effectiveness of ads will fall on a unit basis.
While what you say about long variable names can be right in certain circumstances, the example with the wrong units is inappropriate.

In my opinion any code that deals with physical quantities, but which does not use dedicated types for each kind of physical quantity, where the type definitions include the units used, is erroneous.

Any mistake like in the Mars orbiter must be detected at compile time.
Is there any web standard mandating support of console API?
I don't see how this will be adopted without backing by legal threats. Even if this gets implemented on a voluntary basis, you need a fallback for browsers that don't support it.

Am I missing something?

Counter-point: moving things around in a way which doesn't preserve history is a dumb idea.

Moving/renaming a file? Commit the deletion and insertion together, preferably with no other changes (including to the contents of the file; commit those afterwards). In the best case, VC will treat this as a move and showing the history will include that of the old place/name. In the worst case, that history of file 'foo' will "end" with a commit like 'Rename bar to foo', with a diff showing the content moving from 'bar' to 'foo'; we can continue reading the history by switching to 'bar' if we want.

Moving code from one file to another? Similar story: commit the insertion and removal together; preferably with little/nothing else in that commit; preferably with a commit message explaining the change. This way, the code doesn't appear from nowhere in the commit history: when we look at the commit where it appears, we will also see where it came from before.

Moving a file from one repo to another? Dump that file's history as a patch, apply that patch in the new repo, then clean up (e.g. rename, move, etc. as appropriate). Alternatively, for larger sets of changes, add the old repo as a remote for the new repo, make a branch in the old repo which contains only those parts we want to move, fetch that branch into the new repo and merge it, then remove the remote.
There must be something else, because most of what Rust brings to the table is what functional languages have been providing for ages, just with rebranded names.
I don't use it as a shell on Linux/macOS (I don't think it's even really supported yet), but as a scripting environment it's been ok: the language is sane enough, you can use the .NET BCL if you need to and its behavior is consistent across platforms.

We use it for automation in our .NET codebase (which is being developed on both Windows and Linux) instead of bash scripts because of that and the fact it's preinstalled in the .NET SDK Docker images
