I don't have children but I have a friend that I think regrets having his second child.

First one was a daughter and it went well enough that they decided to have a second one. This time they had a son. But this time things were tougher because his son was a bit weird and my friend is a bit weird too. Wife this time needed more help with raising this kid (because of other problems in her life) but my friend wasn't able to help. This kid annoyed him immensly. Finally their relationship ended in a divorce and first thing he did was a vasectomy. Divorce was initiated by the wife which had a great relief from peace and quiet after removing my friend from the family. He is more sour about the divorce. I think he felt misjudged. They were both my friends as a couple. Now each is a separate friend of mine.
Let's please not further the idea that it's acceptable to quote only downstream speed when citing Internet speeds.

I still don't get it. The tunnels were too narrow near the ceilling, but wide near the floor. The divers could not keep at the floor because they could not navigate due to zero visibility, zero communication and no tether points.

Would not a sonar help? A full spacesuit-like helmet with air to be able to talk via radio? Laying down some flexible tunnels that could be inflated with air or maybe just pumped
with clear water to gain visibility? So many ideas come to mind, but they chose the most difficult transport of sedated and tied up kids ever. I assume they had a good reason, but still do not understand it.
surely it is a best example
We have a VB Desktop App still being used at my current job. It works, we technically support it but have never had to do any support and would struggle to setup the tool chain.

What is outrageous is that the divers got at most an MBE - on the same New Years Honours list where heroes such as Michael Palin and Twiggy received knighthoods.

I have never seen anything really deserving of a knighthood than what those divers did.
Totally acceptable. The restriction is only on eating non-kosher foods (basically), not anything else related to them.

Even if that weren’t the case, saving a life takes precedence over almost all other laws in Judaism (exceptions are murder, incest, and idolatry), so it would be allowed under that.
« Most of these were likely managed-language programs. »

Please don't guess. They weren't.

It is true that a program that aborts as soon as malloc returns failure isn't doing any special cleanup or attempting to keep going.

But that's not at all the same as « Those programs will just assume the return value from malloc(2) is valid memory. In the best case, they’ll immediately write to it and protection-fault. », which is what I'm informing you is too pessimistic.
As others have mentioned both Honey Baked Ham and Boston Market serve what's come to be Thanksgiving/Christmas meal staples.

Every restaurant is packed for Valentines. It's a big date night. Going out on a date means going out to eat. There's nothing specific to Outback about going there on Valentines, that's just where some portion of people go. Same with Applebees.

And while Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo is odd, it's not a uniquely Taco Bell thing. Any vaguely Mexican adjacent business will advertise around it.

This mashup of KFC and Christmas is a very brand specific thing unique to that country.
Thanks for the endorsement :)

PPPoE de-encapuslation is likely not hardware accelerated (or can't be combined with other hardware accelerated packet processing) or if that platform is more PC like than I thought, it may be that the PPPoE de-encapsulation is single threaded either as a missed software feature or because the nic can't separate it into multiple queues.

PPPoE is one of the worst network protocols ever, and there's no reason it should have been implemented on fiber. I don't really understand why it was implemented on DSL either; maybe some bizarro way to try to prevent theft of service?
In most parts of the USA winning on a public project requires three bids.

Why do the same companies always seem to win?

In my neck of the woods (The Bay Area), one company seems to get all the jobs. The company's name rhymes with Gelato.

I started to look carefully at the bids.

(I got a General Contractor's license a while ago, and it an easy test, and verification of work experience is a joke.)

Ok, I looked into the owner of the contractor's license, and in all three bids, they had a "Gelato" as owner of the company.

It looks like the "Gelato" family sent three kids to Sacramento to take the test, and get their licenses.

They all bid on the same project, and one wins.

They must share the million dollar equipment, and pool of employees though?

Is it legal? I don't know.

Do I know for a fact this is how it works--no.

(There's a bill, I believe up for vote soon, in Sacramento. It requires all bidding parties to verify their company us big enough to do the project. I don't think we need a bill like this. I don't think small companies bidding on huge project to is a problem. If I am right about "Gelato" construction company--authorities should look into the bidding process. There us a reason, besides inflation, that public projects get more expensive each year, and never seem to end.)
In part because skilled trades already are fairly mechanized. Backhoes, skid-loaders, nail guns, power tools, etc.

(And in general, I think mechanization is under-appreciated as a productivity enhancer compared to automation... Who is more productive moving something like gravel around, someone driving a 5 ton capacity dump truck or someone overseeing 100 gravel-moving drones with a capacity of 5 kilograms each? Even if the drones are essentially autonomous, the dump truck driver will be more productive in moving the material around because he's driving a big machine and the drones will need someone to manage them especially when there are problems. Or even compare 5 ton autonomous mining trucks with a 500 ton dump truck... the 500 tonner is gonna win. Larger scale machines are still a pretty straightforward way to improve productivity.)

I think society does a poor job communicating the actual lack of safety that comes from sedentary, physically repetitive jobs.

I wouldn't qualify for workers compensation for my herniated disc because I don't know when it started or why. But it's probably from sitting in front of a computer. Asking coworkers over 35, they almost all have injuries from computer work.

Maintaining weight and strength while a huge chunk of your day is sedentary is a big chore too.
The hottest I ever felt was 114° in the DFW area in Texas. I cannot even fathom another 16 degrees. Even with low humidity, 130° is a killer. Even worse though are places in the world not quite as hot, but with high humidity, where the body cannot cope with cooling you down. If heat continues to go up, I wonder how many places on earth will become uninhabitable, and where will the people there then go?

Maybe the future of humanity is underground, it does not take very far before the temperature is very pleasant. I recall walking down the path in Carlsbad Caverns when it was 100° outside, and the cave was at a constant 53° or so.

Should Starcraft have different UI and keyboard shortcuts on Mac and Windows? Should a Marine's steampack use command instead of ctrl on a Mac? Ofcourse this question makes no sence, the game is so different from 'normal' apps, it has no copy paste!

Learning Blender, Eagle, Inventor or Starcraft requires you to learn about a hundred keyboard shortcuts and hundreds of UI aspects that are spesific to that domain. There are very expensive, large pieces of software that require thousands of hours to master. Thats why Photoshop looks the same on every platform.

To suggest they should use os native controls basically indicates you have no experience with them - there are no standard OS cotrols for bevel, extrude, build siege tank, or start network rendering.
It seems like the cartels aren't very good at threat modeling. It seems like it should be very obvious that secure comms setup specifically to cater to cartels would have a huge target on its back. Just use signal, damn.
Fair; but, there’s a reason why, when discussing criminal justice reform, for example, we don’t talk about giving Dommer a shorter sentence.

There are better examples where that right can be agreed much more broadly and that can drum up support for the change in the law. Politics is, among other things, a popularity contest.
That is one product. The benefit is related to growth and related taxation (but might depend on the country you are in).

Very true. I didn’t want a child, my wife wanted nothing more. I was afraid I would screw up, worried my self-centered life would end, that I couldn’t love a child. I had those thoughts until the moment I held my first daughter. Now I can neatly divide my life into 28 years before I had children and the different person I became after. It was like a switch flipped that day, and I never looked back with regret.

> The article makes a few assumptions I disagree with - one of which is that the projects they list being over-time and over-budget are because of builder productivity rather than the primary contractors over-promising to win a large contract.

I’m guessing this explains most of it.

It’s common in the construction industry to compete during the bidding phase by underestimating the time and cost of the project, then making up for it with change orders later. It’s so pervasive in some domains that contractors feel they have no choice but to play the game to get contracts.

The smart buyers employ people who know how to manage contractors and construction companies with contracts that make time and budget overages less profitable for the company. The catch is that you need someone on your side watching the work so they don’t try to cut corners to get the job done. It’s difficult.

At smaller scales, it’s common for contractors to bid more projects than they can handle and then rotate between them, tending to the clients who complain the most. They’d rather overbook their calendar than have gaps in between projects.

Construction and contracting are not fun industries to deal with. Having known reputable contractors is very valuable, but the good ones are often booked out a year in advance.

And I agree about the other oddities in this article. I don’t even know if hand drawn building plans would be allowed in modern towns. Usually a licensed engineer is required to draw and approve the plans and there aren’t many licensed engineers still doing this who don’t use CAD.
OK, we've changed the title to that from "American builders’ productivity has plunged by half since the late 1960s".
A huge oversight was when it was approved for phrase III they should have run many (a dozen?) different trials at different dose amounts. It was already proven to be safe and nailing the dosing would have helped get shots into arms faster in the US and elsewhere.

I'm on the extreme end of thinking it should have been approved faster - but even if you are a bit of a traditionalist I don't see how running concurrent trials on such an important potential vaccine wouldn't be a huge win.
That's interesting, because Disney is already known for stopping streaming to support limited theater releases during times of the year. For example, I recall there being a big deal that peoples digital purchases of a Disney title on Amazon were blocked for a few weeks/months while they released that film in theaters again around the Christmas holidays. I'm not finding the links to that, but I definitely remember it being a thing, and discussed here.

My guess is that they might restrict or increase cost of purchase for some things (while allowing streaming, which they can limit at any time), but also them make them more likely for strategic rerelease to theaters.

If that promotes more theater showings of these and also helps keep theaters around, I'm not sure it's that bad of a thing (even though blocking digital purchases is a dick move in general)
There’s some software projects that look a lot like hardware and would benefit from crossover learnings. There’s also lots of software projects where the hard part is not building out the code but instead figuring out what to build. A lot of the differences in common practices are due to that, not because software developers are foolish or lazy.

To give concrete examples:

Intel knows what it needs to accomplish in order to win back the top spot. There are tons of challenges to get there, but the end goal is clear. That’s an entirely different kind of problem from Twitter needing to figure how to monitize.

Hardware security modules mitigate the consequences of host PC compromise. At minimum, they expose signing and decryption operations over captive keys, so that a remote attacker might use the key but can't get their own copy.

Good ones have out-of-band mechanisms for confirming and authorizing the operations, so a remote attacker would need the cooperation of someone physically present. The simplest form might just be a button (like a Yubikey). A hardware wallet like Trezor has a screen where you can actually read the destination address and amount of the transaction to sign.

Among the uses of plastic, external packaging and disposable utensils have the benefit of at least being obvious. Not so with insides of aluminium cans, paper cups, receipts (I bet this one is even BPA still), cigarette filters, and so on. These mass uses of plastic are insidious in that they are generally entirely invisible to consumers, do not affect any corporate or political brand, and hence attract no attention.
So what if they can transmit it? That means the vulnerable should restrict themselves and wear full body PPE everywhere or stay at home. The rest of society, including children who lost critical time in their growth, shouldn’t have to alter their lifestyle just so the elerrrly can have some semblance of normalcy by being out and about.

Apart from that, there have been numerous studies showing kids transmit less than others, and this was known mid last year (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200710100934.h...). European countries reacted rationally by opening schools earlier while politically motivated decisions were made in America to keep the country and economy locked down in an intense election year.
Is it possible that plastic pyrosis powered by renewable sources will one day be economical?

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPIHJRIpLRk

This is an old video of a tabletop model. It runs at 1Kw/hr and takes ~3-4 hours to convert 1 kg of plastic into ~800ml of fuel.

The machine is really just a demonstration unit for their bigger models. I always wondered why don't we just use these machines in a scaled up manner with renewable sources to recover the fuel to be turned back into plastics. I'm assuming its just a cost issue.
I bet we could optimize the dose depending on sex, weight, age or other factors (if we knew how it depended on them) but this is not how it is done. The dose is the same for all adults.

And since Dodd Frank, financing is much harder to come by. Most residential contractors who used to be able to build the same spec houses a few dozen times each, are now in a position where they largely survive off of client financing, which means even spec house plans become client dictated custom homes.

It's much easier to build a dozen of something when you don't have to deal with 12 different clients/owners.
Please let's all show the same restraint.

Disagree, it’s a worldwide problem. Part of it is due to increased regulation and extra cost and detailing due to regulations.
That is a valid question, but not what I believe. A friendly world begins with a reduced demand, and demand is driven up by reproduction, not by mortality (quite the opposite). Your species’ logistic map could autobalance around some happy value even with reproduction still on, but you throw all your forces to both reproduction and a reduction of starvation factors. There is no stable point to converge to with these parameters, and humans will always fluctuate from cleanup to rebuild to shortages to destruction. You consume too much, too effectively and double in size in quickly decreasing intervals, that’s the problem.
It's great for a lot of use cases ... But unfortunately there is several important points that prevents to use this combo as a silver bullet.

API gateway is limited to 29 sec of execution, if you need anything longer you will need an EC2 instance (or ECS or fargate) to act as a webserver and call the lambda (up to 15 min), cloudfront is also not an option for this comon use case because it's limited to 180 sec.

I agree the tools got outsourced.

I also agree there are big chunks of LAMP under the covers of running an AWS Lambda. So, in that sense, we haven't "moved on" from the old LAMP stack.

I also agree the tools are "not ours" if they aren't open. They do useful things. It's a tradeoff.

I think a big part of it is social status and marriageability. There is a social stigma against the trades that relegates its workers to low social status. PhD’s in history might struggle to feed themselves on their meagre lecturer salaries but they can insist that you address them as Dr.

A plumber might make a lot more money but they’ll never be able to shake the association with dirty, unpleasant work, despite the fact that a great deal of plumbers work in new installations for construction rather than household repair.
