Yeah, I found the same thing on the prices - but interestingly looking at completed sales, prices are more like ~£100. I'm assuming something has recently changed to make people mark them up more, and no-one's biting yet.
I've wanted this for a while, but I will say there's some caveats. Sometimes I want to commit just as a "it's the end of the day, I want to leave, here's a code dump". I suppose you could have multiple tiers of code saving.

I've also wondered about whether you could do code analysis with time as a dimension. If you can analyze the evolution of the code and pull old implementations, what can you do? Autocomplete is a good example, as it can pull previous patterns you've used. Maybe some way to tell the programmer "hold up, you've made this mistake before, don't do it again"? I'm not sure.
Hinge has all sorts of dark patterns to keep you swiping on the app as long as possible. Recently they added some feature called Standouts that removes the "best" matches from your ability to match, so you have to wait until those matches drop from the exclusive-only bin. The idea behind limiting max likes is nice (10), but they also have some ranking algorithm that only starts showing your preferred matches near the end of your match limit, extremely subtle but I noticed it started making me feel like I was anxious about preserving my bin of likes. It's all a money game to these Match companies and pretty obvious why people are burning out on all the ghosting / terrible interactions etc.
Completely agree, but it's better than 100% remote which is what happened.
No, it isn’t. You can downvote me all you like, but “rents” has a very specific economic meaning, and it doesn’t mean what you think it does.

nytimes is the worst, next to predatory gym memberships. It took me 45 minutes in a chat with the agent screen to cancel my membership, and they refused to send me any confirmation or email. He told me to screenshot our chat.

The NYTimes is nothing more than a government propaganda machine these days, anyways.
The idea that mom (but not dad?) will lie to you in order not to hurt your feelings surely reflects biases about gender (aka sexism, albeit a mild form).

The non biased version would use "parent" not "mom".

Well, they officially don't guarantee that they will redeem Tethers, but in practice they do, at least for the time being. So any withdrawal pressure would be de facto rather than de jure
Thanks for making this so concise. It's always easy to look at something and say "well these people are _weak_, because I can do without it, so I'm ready to tax/punish this behavior". It's true that society right now has lots of profligate energy waste, but without a path to transition out of this wasteful energy regime, the rise in prices will affect the most vulnerable in society.

Sadly, historically, when society was undergoing large changes, such as industrialization and urbanization, marginalized peoples were never really considered. We can't have fear of change hold back our progress, but we do need to be careful to offer marginalized peoples ways to ease transition into lower-energy regimes.

> abrupt new feature with an urgent deadline

As someone who has spent most of their 7 year career at big companies that follow "plan build ship" cycles, I don't understand this post.

What abrupt new feature with urgent deadlines? Why can't this hypothetical feature wait?

Sure, for Coronavirus teams spun up and other work stopped, but that's a pretty big outlier. Most features are planned a quarter or so ahead.

> Do you just keep a copy of your old work, and start working on this new stuff

Sure why not? I don't understand how any "abrupt new feature with urgent deadlines" wouldn't require stopping what you're currently doing.

Besides, it's not like I sit on massive code changes for weeks. I submit code incrementally.
It is my general impression with Quanta Magazine: an interesting phenomenon + a clickbaity title and headline (bordering on crackpotty).
Cynicism is destroying discourse. Everyone thinks that everyone else is dumb and no one respects the shoes that other people walk in.

That's why an algorithm was not used. Effectiveness has not been sufficiently analysed to be reduceable to a line on a graph.

People who call something "real" without defining what "real" is may be well-practised at sounding nice and emphatic in meetings, but without any detail it's hard to see it as anything more.
This is infuriating, but in the meantime you should find a bank that offers virtual and ideally virtual disposable cards. When I sign up for something new / untrusted and I'm not sure if I can unsub easily, I always use the virtual disposable CC so that they can only charge me once. 2nd charge will simply not work because the card is single-use.

(Downside is, they can ban you forever if the charge doesn't go through, but for services that do those shady things, I wouldn't like to be their customer anyway).

Re: the difficulty of unsubbing: GDPR specifies that disallowing consent should be as easy as allowing it. There should be similar law about online subs.
>Watch them cry and talk about how they'll be social outcasts and their friends will mock them

I don't see how potentially making your child a social outcast is healthier than just fucking talking to them. It's strange how an entire generation that grew up on goatse, single click hardcore porn, and generally unadulterated internet access have become the very luddites they used to make fun of on phpBB forums.

An incredible amount of socialization happens online today. Even if you believe that they will form "real" connections with "real" people, only the most determined of hormone raged boys will overcome the friction to include them. Secondly, the failure to actually communicate the problems of social media and resorting to lockdown is essentially sex education through abstinence. It demonstrably doesn't work.

I imagine there's a middle ground between 16 hours of Roblox every day and 0 hours of any internet access. Apps, proxies and firewalls aren't an adequate replacement to communication.
In my experience, I also need slower days otherwise I will simply burn out. I love having days full of code, but this is not sustainable. After 8 hours of coding and focused work, I typically need a day or two of recovery. I still can perform tasks and plan but not at the normal intensity. Another approach is 4 hours a day of code daily. This can become a problem if you have a 20 year old team mate willing to grind 12 hour days and just knock out all the tickets. This can create toxic behavior and resentment from that individual towards older and experience devs.

In everything people do, there is time for rest or a task that is easier physically or mentally. A laborer cannot sustain moving shovel non-stop all day. A soccer player cannot sustain playing 8 hours a day. This is part of being human.
You think they would be taken aback by the cost of a temp developer. In my case we easily charge the salary of two or three junior devs for one person and we are very sticky...not one contractor was out of work during the pandemic while those companies laid off FTE in significant numbers.
Well now youre doing exactly what I described. You make my suggestions into a to do list and feel bad.

The point is to feel better. Thats the start of everything. Not "I have accomplished all tasks, now I can feel good".

Notice how I didnt even define what a "good" sleep pattern is and what you made of it, then proclaiming that to be unreachable, feeling worse. Maybe a good sleep schedule for you is to sleep during the day? Who cares. Its whatever makes you feel good. The second you judge yourself, you lose.

>an extra 40kgs of weight in the car which costs a bit.

Do European cars have gigantic fuel tanks?

40kgs is 40 / 0.71kg/L = 56.3L ~= 14.9 gallons.

14.9 gallons is as much, or more than any car I own carries. And I've never put more than 13 gallons into any vehicle ever during a single fill up.

To have that kind of "spare" capacity beyond what would be necessary for my daily commute, I'd need to be driving a large SUV or pickup truck.

I looked up a 3 Series BMW, and they have 40L or 57L tanks in the new models. Down from 60 or so 10 years ago.

I feel like 20kgs is a more accurate number. And that's really the difference between a small woman and a medium sized man driving the same vehicle.
Same here, I loved those two games, graphics was excellent, music too, and motion was incredibly fluid for a 8MHz machine.
The linked .asm code however seems rather x86 than M68K to me, it's probably a late x86 DOS port. The PC port of the above games was not bad, but it lacked the same smoothness of the Amiga version and, if memory serves, music was a lot worse.

I’m starting to realize that we’ve always had highly narcissistic undertones in the narratives of Western society:

* “You should aspire to be successful”

* “You need to be beautiful”

* “You won’t get what you want unless you are powerful”

All of these statements share the same narcissistic attribute of requiring attention and validation from people whom you have no other connection to. This is deeply weird. Social media gives this narcissism a platform.
> A much better tactic, and one that I see neglected far too often is to instill the reasoning into the kids from a young age, don't bar them from what's bad from them, teach them that why and how it's bad so they themselves keep a distance.

That can work - until they fall in with a bad friend, once that happens they lose their ability to self regulate (the bad friend does it for them instead), and the parent must do it for them.

So as long as you are lucky enough that you kids never fall in with the wrong group you will have success.
Poland is in a tough spot politically. Dependence on Russia is a touchy topic, but now there's also a rising anti-EU sentiment from the populist-nationalist government. If something is seen as EU/Western middling then Poland will double-down on doing the opposite (in this case rejecting renewables in favor of coal with plans for nuclear), and still blame the EU for it.

Might want to be careful with that source. It looks like it's run by a "Swedish nationalist politician" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1vra_Suk) and appears to be running stories based on the Russian government-owned TASS newswire (e.g. https://freewestmedia.com/2021/09/24/unionists-rise-up-again...).

Also this article shows a pretty bizarre misunderstanding to push an Ivermectin angle:

https://freewestmedia.com/2021/09/26/french-doctor-violently...

> The Associated Press has meanwhile tried to claim that the doctor was not arrested for prescribing Ivermectin and that this was “fake news” but patients treated by the physician confirmed that Théron had been prescribing the alternative life-saving treatment.

The AP article says he was arrested for assault, after throwing things at someone who was delivering documents to him about an investigation into problems with his medical practice. "Free West Media" seems to be trying to imply his Ivermectin prescriptions are proof he was arrested for doing that, but that doesn't follow at all. The Ivermectin prescriptions and assault seem like they'd be legally independent events, and it's quite plausible he'd never have been arrested if he hadn't been so unreasonable as to throw things at people.

Also, here are some of their most recent editorials:

Daraa appears to be city that was recently captured by the Syrian government from the rebels. Calling the rebels "terrorists" seems to indicate a strong pro-Assad orientation.
`zstd` and `zlib` as the only 2 supported formats would be enough for me (zstd for state of the art, fast compression and decompression, with choice of high compression ratios if needed; and zlib for backward compatibility/portability), but others may disagree and want their own favourite compression format there.
OTOH if you use zstd that already has multiple file capability built-in, so you don't gain much by using sqlite (unless zstd were to adopt sqlite as.its storage format...).
ZIP encryption is an anti-feature, and you should probably never, ever use it. The problem is that the ZIP ecosystem is full of implementations of horrible insecure cipher constructions (even the modern implementations may support them for backwards compatibility). "Horrible" here means "breakable with a Perl script".

We relied on ZIP encryption at a previous firm, because no client of ours could ever get PGP to work. But we had to train everyone to use 7z, and getting files back from clients was fraught (they might just click the "encrypt" button in whichever random ZIP program they used).

If you want to encrypt an archive file, you should do it with a dedicated encryption program that you trust (Filippo Valsorda's `age` is a good bet, since it has good implementations in both Go and Rust, so it's very easy to integrate into designs, and also has a very clean, simple command line interface). You should not lean on ZIP's supposed AES support.

The rest of this critique of `sqlar` might be valid! But I can't let the encryption thing pass unchallenged.
Easy mistake tbh - the larger switches in the range (i.e. 24 & 48 port models) do have 4 x 10Gb ports, and aren't much more pricey.
Well of-course.

Many have not run into restaurant fraud where they ask unsuspecting customers into ordering off-menu items like mixed-kebab platter or some such and then check comes in for 2000 rupees for that item but I have been duped like that.

Yes, after having read this article I’m none the wiser about why Popper was wrong or even if he was wrong about falsificationism. It starts with an interesting thesis, takes a detour which seems intended to smear Popper’s ideas by associating them with people who had some affinity for eugenics, and then degenerates into a lament about how neoliberals aren’t socialists and that somehow means falsificationism is responsible for the ills of the world.

I share the author’s concerns about the supposed ethical neutrality of the application of scientific discoveries, but that has to do with politics and ethics and not the methods scientists use to make those discoveries. It’s like blaming theoretical computer science for the developing the techniques later programmers use in missile guidance systems. The theory isn’t the problem, the application is.

Perhaps the problem is inventing a new language for good application design. Uncharitably, this explanation sounds as if you've taken a description of modularity, type-safety, and maintainability and run it through a randomizing jargon thesaurus.

The author is a ‘she’ not a ‘he’ but..

I agree with your analysis. This is article is a way to take falsifiability off the table as a useful tool, which of course paves the way for unfalsifiable claims to be argued for on the basis of their purity.

It’s quite disturbing, even before the place where you see it go off the rails, there were some red flags - the idea that you can always defend a hypothesis by casting doubt on any element of an experiment, for example, or by introducing a new good-faith explanation of how the origins hypothesis can still be true.

Of course you can - and by doing so you generate new hypotheses that can be tested. This is to be expected and has no bearing at all on whether falsifiability itself is a problem.

The author is a professor of ‘science humanities’, which is itself an Orwellian sounding title. This piece suggests that she doesn’t understand the philosophy r science at all.
Yes, it's normal. Don't stress over it. Ideally you can work on a team or with a partner so that your productivity cycles balance out each other.

Probably when you're feeling unproductive you should just stop working and go do something else; it's better to recharge than to work inefficiently.
> Ok let's make energy more expensive. I think it's only fair that the pain is distributed equitably, so let's put a $0.1/Gb tax on bandwidth [1], the cloud being one of the largest growing emitters of CO2.

Even if I grant that, I suspect if you're working from home and not business traveling, it's still a net negative of CO2 being emitted. I would think that nearly everything that the "cloud" replaces cost more in CO2 than the "cloud" itself.

But I realize that your point is that it's easy to come up with arbitrary taxes that hurt the poor, and that's a reasonable criticism, but I don't think that that implies that we shouldn't do any kind of externallity tax on carbon. Instead, we could use tax incentives to give a rebate to disproportionately affected poor people for gas, or we could use the extra revenue from the taxes to give rebates for electric cars.

I'm not claiming this is a perfect system, and there will definitely be people who slip through the cracks, and that sucks, but the cost of not doing enough about climate change is substantially worse.

Humanity as a whole has spent the last couple Millennia accomplishing preciously little. Not because there weren't people with bright ideas, but because pivotal ideas often took centuries to spread. Many see the introduction of coffeehouses as a place of conversation in the 17th century as crucial for the Age of Enlightenment [1]. The speed with which we can enact technological and social change is proportional to the speed of exchange of ideas. In the 20th century the power to spread ideas had largely monopolized, but now the internet gives us many-to-many interaction beyond the local level. And I will gladly concede that we haven't figured how to do that properly, Facebook and Twitter seem like mostly failed experiments. But that doesn't mean that cracking the code for global many-to-many interaction isn't worth it.
