+1, I've been an on-and-off brush cutter and tree planter for several years. I can fully confirm this: physical work outdoors does wonders to mental health.

The interesting part is that I can be really exhausted from a day in the woods, struggling to somehow get to the car, etc -- but after 7-8 hours of decent sleep, all of this is gone! No muscle pains next morning, no nothing. It is incredible how well our body can handle and cure physical stress.

Coping with mental exhaustion or overwork, however, seems to be way harder for me -- to the point of ruining the next day entirely. A deep explanation of this deviation (our abilities for physical recovery vs mental recovery) would be really interesting.
I think there's a lot of opportunity in the 2d domain, in both directions.

You might have a picture represent a program, like Piet [1]. Or you might have a language specifically designed to show certain types of pictures, like TeX or Processing or more narrowly, PlantUML.

Another area to explore is the distributed space. Perhaps a language with Kubernetes capabilities as first-class objects.

While I totally agree with what you just said. "Recent research" part is dangerous and somehow works in favor employers overall. It is for very simple reason that employers can sponsor vastly more research that can save business a penny while making employees' life miserable along the way.
I’ve had the same thought about capital punishment: it should be televised so that people can see what they are supporting. It might not turn out the way you or I wish, though.
A Malthusian crisis has been “imminent” since the 19th century. I think that you should try writing down what facts you think support the a priori assumption that our sinful ways are leading us to a future, sudden disaster. I don’t think you will find much evidence that isn’t traceable to popular opinion. Sorry, fam, it’s just Puritanism for the modern age.

I have taken git apart and learned it three times now, and it all makes sense to me. The commands however, never clicked. The terminology never felt intuitive, nor predictably applied.

So I can explain how git works in great detail, but ask me how to perform an action I haven't in a month, and it's a lot like figuring our a tar command.
That's a fair assessment, and it's one of the reasons that neopagans have had to fill in a lot of gaps.

Well that's the problem - you are basing your belief on anecdote and gut feeling. The actual science behind this is overwhelming - there is nothing wrong with a vegan diet. You won't be able to find much that states otherwise. Beans and whole grains can provide all essential amino acids despite propaganda stating otherwise. Even meat eaters don't get enough B12 and should supplement, because B12 comes from the food animals eat, and their feed is insufficient. If you don't just eat Oreos and white rice, you should be fine as a vegan. The propaganda against veganism will eventually be seen as how the cigarette industry sold cigarettes as healthy.
When I say fair I mean 'accepted' by people, they know people are selling them stuff, probably useless, but they still choose to go and buy some. It's fair to most people's brain inner workings IMO.

Also I had various western countries in mind in my comment, including those where healthcare is paid for, it doesn't change the overall lifestyle that much (high rent, long hours, dumb jobs)
I feel like I should point out here that there is also SpecID (Specific Share Identification), which is another way of identifying which of your inventory/lots you want to sell.

SpecID can come in very useful if you want to maximize control of the amount of capital gain/loss that you take on when partially selling your position after dollar cost averaging or otherwise buying into it over many purchases.

For example, assume you've been dollar cost averaging into a security over the course of 5 years, and now want to start selling. You can use SpecID to sell only the specific lots that you bought between 1 and 2 years ago, so that you get taxed at long term gain rates, but otherwise realize the least amount of gains of all your lots (assuming the security has been appreciating at a stable rate). Neither FIFO nor LIFO would allow you to do that: FIFO would grab the oldest, most appreciated lots, while LIFO would grab the lots that have not yet aged into LT gain.
This is a simplistic child-like logic. Not even sure how to address it.

> Were they actually trying to play a better role beyond basic technocratic guidance, China wouldn't be a 2nd larger economy today, but a 1st one, and by a large extend.

You know China is on track to surpass the US’ GDP in the 2030s, right? And that the Chinese middle class is growing while the US middle class is shrinking? Given that China was a completely impoverished agrarian country recovering from multiple colonial incursions in 1949, that’s a pretty remarkable accomplishment.

If no sophistication was involved, why hasn’t India seen the same outcomes since gaining its independence around the same time?
> The 'upsides' of owning a gun don't outweigh the horrible potential consequences for myself and others around me.

Of course other people make different value judgements as to the risks.

If I was in the US I'd be less concerned about general firearm ownership, and people basically being about to have whatever they want in their own homes, versus all the concealed carry and stand-your-ground laws, both of which impact public safety more. And it seems toward the negative (AFAICT).

> I'm really glad that guns are not as prominent in my country compared to the US.

As someone in Canada, the day-to-day firearms stuff isn't as prevalent, but we're tied for 7th in per capita ownership:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_g...

However, from a firearms death rate (homicide+suicide), we're lower than what many people would expect:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-r...

With a lower rate that Austria, Switzerland, Finland, and France. IMHO this is because (a) we have mandatory licensing/training, which works as a filter to reduce the cowboy types, (b) relatively lower rates of poverty which helps with reduce crime (most shooting seem to be gang-related), and (c) decent social programs which helps the less fortunate. Many calamities are also probably reduced through safe storage laws.

I don't think there's a need to even "ban" firearms or specific firearm types if these are implemented.

There's no one silver bullet that will solve gun-related problems, but there are a few policies that have been shown to work fairly well. It's 'just' a matter society choosing to implement them.
Crime is much less common amongst people who legally own (i.e. buy) guns than in the general population.
I see.

I'm probably being more charitable to her than a stranger would, but it sounds like a woman in denial to me, not a person who intentionally allows her boyfriend to beat her daughter. To my mind, a case could be made for a harsh sentence if a mother deliberately allows her boyfriend to torture her children, but in the case of an abused woman in denial, I would hope a justice system would not be so harsh. Remove the children to safety, probation, mandatory therapy, sure; but a 20 year sentence in that case helps no one: not her, not her children, not society.

Your interpretation is the least charitable, in my opinion, but I won't try to talk you out of it. Given what you gathered from the article, I still don't understand supporting a 20 year sentence, but I definitely understand being horrified by the descriptions of the abuse. When I first heard about this, I also thought surely there must be something wrong with Elizabeth and the situation to have earned such a sentence, but I no longer believe this.

Anyway, thanks for replying in good faith and being honest about your interpretation! Sincerely appreciated.

I believe my point still stands; for a short time, he lost his job, without knowing what happened next, and he went through the emotions associated with that.

The git GUI in Intellij and related products is really quite good. The diff view that shows three adjacent panes for conflict resolution (|theirs ->|merge|<-yours|) is so much better than the normal conflict resolution flow (not least because you still get the normal code highlighting in it), and separate checkboxes for each changed section of the diff makes it so easy to chunk large changes into logical commits. I wish they offered it as a standalone product.

You may not have much choice in the matter, but this level of complexity is where I would strongly recommend a (slightly) more complex architecture.

It's apparently a business requirement to keep every branch around forever, and I'll just take your word for that. At that point, you can have an `origin` remote where work happens, and the CI can include a push to an `archive` remote which is append-only.

Lets you have a development environment where the existence of a branch on origin means that it's in-play, and everything exists on archive if it proves needful.
Thank you. That's what I meant. Would that there were some formal education available on crypto (it's sparse and the tooling is terrible) and we'd have fewer scams and schemes to worry about.
This is great! Pricing in externalities is exactly what regulation is supposed to accomplish in a functioning market. The meat production industry is full of unpriced externalities[0], and decades of propaganda[1] convincing us that everything is fine and dandy[2].

Not to mention the current (now-historical) market solution isn't an efficient allocation of resources by any means[3]. Livestock account for only 18% of global calories and only 37% of protein! It's a myth that eating meat is the way we get protein. To boot, 45% of crop yields go towards feeding that livestock[4].

I have nothing against eating meat as such, and I'm all for using grazing land for grazing. But the fact that we waste good crop land on highly inefficient food/nutrient/protein production is not good.

We have to use regulation to price in these inefficiencies and allow the market to deal with realistic pricing levels for meat.

I feel I was lucky because I learned computing on a QNX system in High School. The people a year younger than myself ended up learning Turing on early Windows systems. I couldn't understand why Windows on a more powerful machine was so featureless and had lousy graphics in comparison to the "lesser" QNX terminals I learned on.

Also, it seemed unreasonable that QNX could be contained on a single floppy diskette, but you couldn't come close to running a single floppy Windows instance, and DOS was totally braindead in comparison to QNX's command line.

Needless to say when Minix and then Linux came around, I was fully on board.

Oh wow. Let me try forming that argument: 1) meat is nutrient-packed and getting all your nutrients from a plant based diet is stupid hard 2) to be able to be a vegan and healthy you need (today at least) to be in a privileged position (how many poor vegans do you know?) 3) we evolutionarily got here by eating meat - our bodies do better when eating animal fat and protein. The grown and thriving survival of our species is anchored in killing other animals (sounds f’ed up but it is what it is).

I'm all for Emacs, but calling it prettier than VSCode is a bit of a stretch :D

Of course aesthetic taste is quite subjective, but I think a lot of people will agree that most modern software (including VSCode) looks much slicker than Emacs (excluding extensively customized outliers).

As for my personal taste, Atom is by far the visually most appealing editor I've seen. I don't know enough graphic design to articulate the difference, but I wonder why the look & feel is not replicated more widely.
>If I leave my refrigerator open all day, it is guaranteed it will produce nothing of value.

This isn't true. I can put the back of my refrigerator in my doorway and use it to cool my house. "Leaving my refrigerator open all day isn't wasteful, because it cools my house and I use green energy to do it." This is essentially the logic used in this thread; it is a complete non sequitur.

I suppose one could say that whether or not it's wasteful to cool my home with my refrigerator is subjective, but most would say that's just being obtuse.

This paper compares the (claimed) reliability of web surveys with the (claimed) reliability of phone surveys.

By and large I think the top level execs of these companies are sociopaths. Not the classic ones that are obvious and ultimately cross too many people. No these people are on a spectrum of being able to understand human emotions and feel them just enough to easily fool standard humans. However their 90% goal is money and that blinds them over time to things like customer loyalty, fair product for a fair price, innovation and it just becomes a money press to them and then they lose customers and throw their hands up and declare well that's just the way it is completely forgetting how their founding products and innovations got them there.

That’s an unrealistically high bar to set. Almost anyone can turn vegetarian and have a healthy diet today. Our agricultural sector regularly adjusts for changing tastes of the population, and while this adjustment doesn’t happen overnight it happens regularly.
