I just started my first SWE job and I'm having a similar realization. So much decision making needs to happen before anything is even considered worth working on. As a junior, I sit silently in a ton of meetings about things that I don't even know about, haha. When my direct superior assigns me something, I get it done, ask her questions if necessary, and move on to the next task.
I have emerged into the "always open buffers" mode and have two: one as a tabular log I can extract time data from, and the other as the stand-up did/doing log. I know I could combine them but there's a human-centric model which goes to separate files for separate functions.

Sometimes I open a .org in VI, to take rapid notes. Its not that I couldn't have spun open an emacs buffer, but the muscle memory for VI writing is there. Org works as a structure model.

I tend to think in a mixture of .org and .md and I think thats fine too. Pandoc fixes most things.
Although I'm not sure what difference it really makes vs. more heavily managing public land but our local planning commission makes it essentially impossible to remove trees.

This is in an extreme fire risk area.

Also, it's quite expense to remove general green waste. High dump fees, long distances to dump, burn piles not allowed, impossible to throw away various types of plants outside house garbage flow.
>How do you prevent that from slipping down to the nadir (imo) of “nobody is entitled to survival”?

Simple; the reality of my "Existence" gives me the right to Survive using any and all means.

Here is a passage between Hump and Wolf Larsen from Jack London's The Sea-Wolf.

[Hump] “What do you believe, then?” I countered.

[Wolf Larsen] “I believe that life is a mess,” he answered promptly. “It is like yeast, a ferment, a thing that moves and may move for a minute, an hour, a year, or a hundred years, but that in the end will cease to move. The big eat the little that they may continue to move, the strong eat the weak that they may retain their strength. The lucky eat the most and move the longest, that is all. What do you make of those things?”

...

[Wolf Larsen] Again, what’s it all about? Why have I kept you here?—”

[Hump] “Because you are stronger,” I managed to blurt out.

“But why stronger?” he went on at once with his perpetual queries. “Because I am a bigger bit of the ferment than you? Don’t you see? Don’t you see?”

“But the hopelessness of it,” I protested.

“I agree with you,” he answered. “Then why move at all, since moving is living? Without moving and being part of the yeast there would be no hopelessness. But,—and there it is,—we want to live and move, though we have no reason to, because it happens that it is the nature of life to live and move, to want to live and move. If it were not for this, life would be dead. It is because of this life that is in you that you dream of your immortality. The life that is in you is alive and wants to go on being alive for ever. Bah! An eternity of piggishness!”

Non-American here, but I'd say yes on the apple pie, no on the baseball. I'm used to multiple countries sharing a 'national sport' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_sport) so it doesn't seem like a claim about baseball being uniquely American, so much as Americans being really into baseball. Also the sport really was developed in the US and then exported, so I think they have the right to claim some kind of spiritual ownership if they want to.

edit: looks like that last point applies in the case of African-Americans and spades, too

You need a high-speed 15 second GIF/mp4 screencast with keypresses visible (maybe use a trial of Camtasia) if you think all the hotkeys should be used a lot. At least a screenshot or two of a "document" in progress! (Screenshots here apparently: https://twitter.com/Zeminary/status/1432195697449766921, though it would be cool to show a complex document.)

Also, set the title attribute on your navbar item divs and modal editor toolbar buttons, otherwise there is no idea what each does. Clicking the '?' for help is useful, but I still don't have any idea what menu icons do even after looking at the source for some of the function names. I don't even see the Unicode characters for the file & modal editor, they are just the U+25A1, white square (representing a missing ideograph). I doubt many first-time visitors / potential users will even click to view the modal editor, it seems great.

I think I get the idea of each square being a cell, not showing empty cells like Excel does for a blank page. Then you fill in each cell in the grid and add/remove rows/columns as desired. So it could wind up looking like a Trello board if you wanted to use it that way.

We're doing about as well as any comparably sized country and have developed two of the world's leading vaccines (China's vaccine, apparently, doesn't work). I'm not sure what else you can do to "deal" with an endemic disease that's never going away.

It's the inability to deal with severe, entrenched corruption that'll do us in, not the pandemic.

I'm going out on a limb and guess that either it wasn't a particularly large codebase and/or it didn't have many dependencies and/or you had more than enough resources so you could do the rewrite while at the same time providing support for the current version.

In the case of Nextcloud, my educated guess is that none of the above conditions is true.
Yeah, it's weird... like, if someone says that a math proof is "elegant and clever", I expect that to mean it is going to be a non-obvious way to make a complex problem that might have had a brute force solution easy to understand, where once you see it you go "oh wow, that's elegant and clever!"; but, somehow, there is an entire group of people (whom I refuse to work with, fwiw) who seem to believe that "elegant and clever" are bad things and wish for a world when everything is five full pages of algebra and number crunching... that you probably got wrong somewhere as there are now an infinite number of repetitive opportunities to make a mistake.
Yes, but I'm saying that it's parents job to make sure the "screen time" is healthy just like it's the parents job to make sure the mealtime is healthy. There are these debates about "how much screen time is OK for kids" but nobody ever talks about "how many ounces of food is OK for a kid?" because there's a big difference between an ounce of broccoli and an ounce of doughnuts.
I don't remember the exact specifics but it had to do with filename encodings. One file had special characters in its name, rsync on Windows (DeltaCopy) was reporting it existing, but it could not be transmitted and so the remote server kept asking for it, or something like that, and after some back and forth the whole process failed.

I suspect "good phone camera" is still quite unevenly distributed. My current phone (Umidigi F1) is decidedly mediocre; I suspect that, as much if not more than CPU, is a big place manufacturers show daylight between the $200 phone and the $1000 one.

I tend to be suspicious how much that software and MIPS can compensate for optics and sensor size. I know a lot of the premium phones will augment the main sensor with, say, 5MP "macro" and "wide angle" sensors with more appropriate optics, but that feels like an admission they're not going to produce great results in those sections of their range. I'd sort of love to see a phone with a single uber-sensor (like the old Nokia 808 or Lumia 1020) and several lenses on some sort of steampunk-looking rotary assembly, or better, a screw mount of some sort, so you could approach the flexibility of an interchangeable-lens camera. I've seen the little aftermarket macro lenses you can clip onto a cameraphone, and the idea is right but the execution seems doomed to terrible results.

I guess I'm weird-- I mostly want to take macro photos of models and invertebrates, rather than photos of humans, so what I want in a camera device is probably not what Joe Instagram wants.

yes, you could describe that use case as "quarantining" websites in short, but I'd say it's a power user feature if managed manually.

If you install the "facebook container" extension, it's zero conf but it's only for facebook.

Another use case I saw users being interested in, is you have 2 (or more) accounts on a website and you can login in both at the same time in 2 separate containers (you cannot quarantine the website to the container in this use case because you need to open it in multiple containers). You can do that with incognito, but the second one is very temporary as closing the browser is going to log you out.

I happen to know fire personnel in California and also people working as docents in redwood forests. If you choose to have your information laundered through your preferred political channels good luck with that. I think most of us can read or watch perspectives on RT, the BBC etc and know what their perspective is likely to be without being seduced or tainted by it. That video is very close to what I've been hearing from real people on the ground. I urge you to watch it.

Drive through Canada into Alaska. The Yukon was a bit prickly on getting your read end in and out of province within 24 hours due to covid, but that’s easily doable. Don’t know if that policy is still in effect.

Once in Alaska, there’s plenty of off grid things to do. If you head to Anchorage you can grab a plane to some bush areas, or drive to Denali, or whatever floats your boat.

That spot in the river where the water flows down a ledge and there’s copious bears feeding on fish? That’s there, and so are the bears right now.

The data does show a net outflow but says nothing about the reason. I’m willing to believe the quality of life has something to do with it, but would be interesting to see the breakdown of who’s exactly leaving by county/age/income.
My current job is what I love. But I have to describe it to people this way:

You love ice cream, right? Now eat an 18-wheeler full of ice cream every day. That's what "doing what you love" for a career is like.

I think there is a lack of research here because so few people do "what they love" for a living. The downsides haven't been qualified; everyone assumes there are none since so few people have the luxury.
I grew up poor and we lived in a lower-middle economic class community. I agree that enjoying life is a privilege, and probably one that not many people can enjoy in the lower economic class.

But I did see many people eke out happiness with whatever they seemed to have. Some groups had family-wide soccer games in the evenings. There seemed to be informal leagues (no uniforms or dues). It was clear parents had just arrived from work and were spending time with children in the parks. There were almost daily BBQs, again, in public parks. Clothing/etc would clearly convey it was all on a tight budget, but wow, they were always happy!

For other groups, there seemed to be a rat race of studying.

Yet for others, the kids never saw their parents, they seemed to be taken from one after-school activity to another by nannies.

I'm not sure what was better - A, B, or C. My family was in the rate race category (b) and -- while I enjoy the "success" it brought -- i'm not sure if I've lived my life as much as others.

The kids in category C that went from swim practice to forced piano lessons to kumon to forced karate didnt seem that happy either (then or now.)

I'm not sure if there is an insight here, but i'd say: whether we're entitled to it or not -- if you have a moment to enjoy happiness in whatever way you can, do it. Why not?
EVE is real.
It was a pretty large codebase, but we did have enough resources to do the rewrite while maintaining the current version. Sort of. It was migrated incrementally, and basically whenever we needed to fix a bug or add a feature to something that was still in the PHP part, we would migrate that specific functionality over to the new language. It did take several years, but since it was done incrementally, we got value from it along the way.
The comparison of Nim to Ada seems appropriate. I've never used Ada but wrote a paper on it in school and found the concepts intruiging. Pretty interesting that a design by committee language had such rich integer types.

Nim looks like Python but really it reminds me more of a nicer looking Pascal. It's been great having ranged integers in Nim, especially when doing embedded work, without having the verbosity of Ada.
It's interesting that this topic becomes a source of populist rage, because the whole mechanism is that buyers are indifferent to principal vs. interest. The same cheap loans are available to you too. Interest rates are probably not driving your inability to afford a house.

I suppose you could be a cash buyer, whose cash was not previously exposed to real estate, hoping to get into it. But that's a pretty niche constituency.

Don't forget that most of the water you sprinkle onto the roof will collect in the gutters which can feed immediately back into the tank, so you only need enough water for a few cycles plus 24 hours of evaporation loss - still a decent amount of water, but a lot more like a large garden water-butt than an industrial tank.
I saw an artist friend comment on a "how to freelance" article that "that sounds like running a business, not being an artist." And therein lies the rub - the actual value-creation part of running a consulting business is a tiny part of the work required.

The cost of the DB license itself isn't really attributable to any one service, while on the other hand, is MORE than covered by a single 5G spectrum auction.

Living abroad and/or spending time in the "developing" world can and probably will change your perspective on work and happiness.

From my experience abroad, I've come to realize:

1. Learning to appreciate and be content with what you do is usually a lot easier than "doing what you love" and getting paid for it.

2. People in the first world invest way too much time and emotional energy in this subject. If you don't elevate work into something that is expected to fulfill not just your need for money/sustenance but your desire for fame, fortune, happiness, etc., and you instead just treat it as one of life's daily activities, it doesn't become a monster that can consume you.
The explanation is that ideology can make good people do really evil things.

Go removes non-value added decisions as teams scale:

- formatting built in. There’s one way. No preferences needed

- language constructs are dead simple. There’s one way to use them, and they’re verbose. No cleverness encouraged

- patterns are straight forward Read the standard library code if stuck

Every Go project resembles every Go project. It’s great.

This is 100% correct. There's no amount of writing about code that can make it better. In fact, if you can write well about what the code is doing, you can write the code well. It's a mystery to me that anyone expects people who can't write code that's clear and simple to then be able to write clear and simple prose explaining it. It's actually much easier to write code that only the computer (compiler or runtime) can understand, but it doesn't care if you name things meaningfully or if the structure reflects the problem domain.
