Problem drinkers become extra problematic when their drinking harms others. That goes beyond just hurting yourself.

What percentage of FB/Insta users are truly addicts and harm themselves? Maybe moderately low, who knows. But, how likely is it that their social peacocking impacts others even if they themselves are not being hurt by it? The body image thing for teen girls is happening when other girls post their pictures. That’s what makes this whole thing very difficult to measure.
While on surface it sounds dumb but this is how 99% companies operate. Nobody is interested, rewarded, or even allowed to question this status quo. If you point out nonsense you'd be first ignored, then told good point but not priority, then told not your problem, and then be managed out of the way. Everyone in entire command chain wants to do minimum, and only have praises for superiors. They want to see things work like 1 2 3... And you opposing is you making them look bad and make them work more. They are trying to maximize local maximum which is getting promotion by completing projects which doesn't align with what's best for the company.
Decades, even. I think pretty much since the first webcam came into existence.
Yes before the internet nobody could communicate ideas. What a genius.
Why is it condescending?

I asked this question because your comment does not jive with my experience. So before countering your point I wanted to confirm whether you had some experience that was opposite to mine or not.

Where is the condescension? In my mind I'm being polite and not making assumptions.

If I wanted to be condescending I would tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Everyone's ethics are their own. If you can't decide what is good and what is bad that's a personal failing. Relying on other people's sense of good and bad is also a failing. Thats why you need to consider your own ethics.
Worklife: Make sure everyone in the company, specially your bosses boss, know that you are valuable to the company. Bosses will feel threaten so make sure you don't overshadow them so they don't find ways to make your life miserable.

Life: Write a 1,5,10 year plan for your life. Find an older mentor you can trust to review it with you. Execute and revisit every year. Hoping that your random actions will lead you to a successful place is wishful thinking.

Life: 2 alphas in a relationship leads to a breakup and pain. If you can't lead, follow. If you can't follow, get out and find another relationship.

I saw this clip from the movie risky business when I was a kid. I wish I would have take the advice to heart then. It will change your life.

Orwell has this great line, “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. Everything else is public relations."

So the promise of the early internet was to allow anyone to publish without permission.

This was a particular goal of the cypherpunk movement that Assange came out of.

WikiLeaks is an extreme example of "printing what someone else does not want printed", worth watching as a canary for press freedom.

I also see it as an unsolved technology issue. Our infrastructure for censorship resistant publishing, eg for whistleblowers, shouldn't be a plain old website, run by a few people like Assange taking unreasonable personal risks.
Essentially you're wrong because you're drawing a false equivalency between the US and CCP/Russia. Your argument is that because the US has done bad, made mistakes, etc... they are in the same grouping as CCP/Russia. Which is an un-nuanced argument that the OP explained was wrong.

Basically your argument is an un-nuanced "muh US is evil". Even though you can simply look at the countries aligned with the US and factually see that they are the freest, have the least corruption, and have the most open elections.
Hmm, wondering when do you go to sleep if you wake up at 6? 9? That kind of sucks.
Jellyfin is an Emby fork as the other said. However they are diverging over time, each some some features that the other doesn't, or things that work better in one than the other. Both are moving targets.
> Milley/Li over the recent presidential transition in the US

I'd genuinely like more info if I'm wrong about this, but wasn't that basically a case of one important person worrying about what Trump might do?

Trump is among the last people I would be / was comfortable to have wielding massive destructive power. But 'dangerous person was in charge, causing concern he might do something catastrophic' is not really comparable to 'nuclear war only averted by relatively low-ranking individual holding back from following protocol'.
I think it’s pretty clear we have an epidemic of burnout on our hands. I think it’s a new phenomenon. And I think immersive online experiences are the underlying cause.

I’ve lived much of my life for the past 30 years in virtual spaces of one form or another, from MUDs to IRC to MMORPGs to early and then fully evolved social media. As commercial virtual space showed up, I noticed the engagement hooks and potential for addiction massively increased.

As that happened, for my own mental health, I have distanced myself. I’ve left most social media, don’t play multi user games and have ramped up my real world social interaction.

If you work hard and have pressing responsibilities, spending the little free time that you have on commercial addictive online pastimes will, in my opinion, guarantee your implosion.

Find spaces to be in during the little free time that you have that don’t make someone else wealthy. Then take it a step further, and find things to do that are good for you.
Well put. This is the basic argument against these CCP and authoritarian apologists. Most likely they are going by "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" which is a simplistic thing to base your world view on.
Yeah kids, listen to your dang parents, not that hip social media.

"Why would anyone do drugs when they can just mow a lawn"
That's besides the point. Countries can change their systems; political regimes are not permanent and don't exist in a vacuum but respond to the environment. Who is to say that US actions did not give more domestic political legitimacy to the CPC so that democratic reform/revolution was down-regulated?
The designers screwed up many obvious things, not just these signals.

Mini Mk 1 (2000) was a beautiful minimal design by Frank Stephenson. Things started going downhill with Mk 2 (2006) and further models. He left, and I guess designers suffered from non-invented here syndrome.

I own a Mk 1 and I've leased or driven all other models. Aside from being uglier, many subtle things in the dashboard were tweaked making it a lot less intuitive. It makes me angry every time I see how they ruined a great design. Engines, on the other hand, have improved very significantly with each generation.
Good enough for now, but in 10 years those cars will be worn with the typical problems of any other 10 year old car. At least a few will have non-functioning tail lights until the owner realized the problem and gets around to fixing it. (I suspect in my past I drove with non-functional taillights for many months before someone told me - it isn't the type of thing you check often)
> A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. A quick check of basic performance statistics showed over 30% higher CPU consumption. What on Earth is Ubuntu doing that results in 30% higher CPU time!?

Also, think about it this way: imagine if you started out with Ubuntu. You’d then likely never notice that your system is 30% slower than it needs be.

Now, take it further: the system from which you moved to Ubuntu most likely has not been the most efficient it could get either, and it was also likely that random crap was sapping significant amount of performance.

And finally, extend this from Cassandra and Ubuntu to everything else. Welcome to 2021, where machines are faster than ever, but things feel as slow as they have always been.
This. I have the same problem (ie 4 roles bundled as one role) and I am so tired. After speaking to many people that are far more successful than me in their careers, I was told:
1. You cannot be successful at 4 things at the same time. I do not work like this because it is impossible. You must pick what you are focusing on.
2. Agree with your management where they expect you to be spending your time. Agree on the plan for everything else which is not in the prior category.

While I agree there is a lot of ageism, there is something worse than ageism - obvious fatigue and lack of enthusiasm during interviews. You can read burnout on a person in the first few seconds - you may need to get a break so that you can have the proper mindset for interviews.
“My boss discovered my blog” is an interesting way to phrase “I disclosed my blog to the press using my real name”.
I have a friend who once told me that they can only work for about 4 hours a day. When I challenged them that this seemed like a very priviledged position to be able to take, they insisted that it was actually true for pretty much anyone, it's just that as a society, as an economy, as a series of employer/employee relationships, we pretend that it's not.

What they meant of course was not whether they could be "at the job(site)" for more than 4 hours a day, but that you could only really do actual (productive) work for 4 hours a day. The rest, so my friend claimed, is almost always filler. My friend also claimed that they believed this was true almost regardless of the type of work you did. Even people doing physical labor don't actually "work hard" for much more than 4 hours - you need breaks (lots of little ones, or maybe a few long ones).

I still don't know if they're right about this. Personally, I've always preferred the maxim about "work long, hard or smart: pick 2". Either way, I know that across society, not just in IT related fields, we do not honor these ideas about work in any meaningful way.
What I don’t understand is how painting so much of the frequency space image black wouldn’t more adversely affect the original image? That was quite a lot removed…
This is too excellent, thank you. Is there any way to do this without involving the phone? I watch Plex on my computer but I'd love to use MPV as a frontend for it, as Plex can't seek to save its life.
This is also standard common curtesy on Japanese highways. The biggest part is drivers behind the original signaler will turn on their hazards to communicate backwards in the chain. Thus everyone can anticipate the slow down before the slow down would be visible. It is a big deal in Japan where even the raised highways and especially tunnels under Tokyo are curvy.
Nice! I'm amazed I haven't seen your blog before, and you've done a much better job than I did overall. (I'm the author of the article btw)
I will have to take some notes...
>>I thought by the time you're 54 you could retire. I'm much younger and I could retire in a couple of years. What is your saving rate?

That is not going to help him much now. Not everyone has or could have started saving early in life. Some did not due to ignorance, some did not due to life circumstances, some did but other life events could have taken that from them (i.e bad investments, divorce, medical issue, or 100's of other things).

Just because you have the luck and privilege to be on the FIRE path does not mean everyone else is as lucky or choose that path. This person may have not planned to retire early and looking back now wished they had made that plan in the 20's. The road not taken an all that...

>>Change jobs until you find a job like that. There are plenty, I can assure you.

Again it would seem you are taking your anecdote and applying it globally. This is very region specific and I can assure you in my region there are exactly Zero jobs in IT that allow you to start at 10am, take a 2-3 hour lunch, and knock off an 6pm...

I will not implicitly state those are not common, but I can not imagine a region where they are?
A big thing with addiction is denial. A lot of alcoholics won't admit to being alcoholics.

24" of adobe takes care of that here, thank you very much. But yes, for people stuck with homes with climactically inappropriate construction, maybe. OTOH, adding humidity to the inside of your SE USA home in the summer may not seem so attractive.
It’s simple math, if even 1% of the 1% who have suicidal thoughts as a result of Instagram are successful in a suicide attempt then based on the size of their user base that would mean thousands of people die from suicides at least partly caused by Instagram.

1% may not be a bad estimate. This article [1] suggests that 1/31 individuals with suicidal ideation will attempt suicide.

Assange, Wikileaks, and Snowden. If these people did the same thing to Russia/Putin or the CCP, they would be gone without a trace right now. It's really sad, these false equivalencies gone wild.

Doing something bad or making a mistake doesn't make the actor bad. That's just an un-nuanced world view.
> I don't think this is cut and dry.

Either consciousness is some sort of a a metaphysical process we haven't figured out (or simply won't be able to), or our minds are clearly part of the universe. You can do things to the brain, such as anesthesia during surgery, and consciousness goes away.

That particular space in the universe that is inside our skulls is conscious (and thus is a point and space in time) means the universe is conscious on some level. How can it possibly be argued otherwise, it's not like brain isn't in this universe? Unless we want to decouple consciousness from brains, but that gets back to the anesthesia example.

> haven't seen outside.

There is no outside. Einstein showed with general relativity that space and time are connected. No space, no time. And certainly no concept of "outside".
When I started this script ~12y ago there wasn't any good html parsing option in the standard library, and that was worth taking a dependency for. I don't see a conflict there with "minimize your dependencies and limit them to ones that value backwards compatibility"?

I think thats the issue you're too high up in the job ladder to not have any 'work responsibilities'.... If you drop back down to the nameless IT 'tinkerer' programmer , responsibilities will vanish!

You mention "If I could retire now, I would"... so maybe you have certain life logistics preventing you from taking a lower pay-grade... but if not...
A Wikipedia article is not a good answer to most things, they're usually single takes and generally aren't broad enough in focus. Wikipedia is a good jump off point for subjects you generally don't know anything about, but that's really it.

Take the article you linked; while it does show example of how women were repressed in the past, it doesn't go that far into why they were repressed and how men were also repressed at the time. As someone what likes to read up on medieval European history, there's just so much more to it.

I understand the appeal of Wikipedia, but it should really not be treated as anything but an opinion piece that requires further research and reading. While you can read some good articles, they are few and far between (and often only show one viewpoint).
Sure can't use any of the $173 million they made in profit last year, though.
> I don’t think any amount of money would be enough for me to work with retail customers again.

That _really_ depends on how much money you currently have.
If you're going to hire more drivers, might as well instead pay your existing drivers more. You'll get drivers that are more skilled and care more. Do you really want the equivalent of an Uber driver taking your kid to school each day?
I'm sure Uber would be happy to fix this problem for less than the cost of more bus drivers. Not that that's a good solution or that parents would be comfortable with having kids ubered to school. I have no horse in the race, though. I will never send my kids to these failing, pathetic indoctrination centers.
I didn't realize how cancerous a news website design and policy can be before I saw nytimes.com's cookie consent overlay over a paywall overlay over a truncated article page.
> There isn’t a labor shortage. There’s a shortage of people willing to be abused and exploited.

and those "abused and exploited" people are providing the labor, leading to a labor shortage.

I don't understand people who think "shortage" need to be qualified by how sympathetic the reason for the shortage is. You can either be the type of person who thinks any failure to meet demand is a shortage, or that shortages don't exist because people can simply pay more. The in-between of "there's a failure to meet demand but they deserve it so it's not really a shortage" seems like trying to inject subjectivity to an objective word.
> It being “disgusting” may well be true, but doesn’t follow logically, and therefore needs more argumentation than what you’ve given here

Why doesn't it follow logically? Some teens are depressed, Instagram makes them even more depressed, they kill themselves, and it's disgusting that Facebook knew about it and hid it. Seems pretty logical to me.
I was not aware of any negative sentiment about planning poker/scrum poker.

I was briefly informed about it during a scrum event and didn't saw it mentioned here.

And it's about estimating project tasks. So relevant to the question.

My guess is that you or the down voters don't know it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Nature already figured out photosynthesis...
I’ve done bloodwork prior to taking Ashwaganda and will do again in two to three months. Testosterone was low, not excessively so but was feeling exhausted and unmotivated. Ashwaganda appears to have given me the energy and motivation back but I’ve only been taking it for a week so am not exactly sure how I’ll fare in the longer term. It gave me enough energy to work out now so Im hoping to raise my energy to prior levels or close by.
Is there any action you can take based on this knowledge to change your outcome, or is it simply an unavoidable part of aging?

It's a bit old at this point (I'm not working mobile as much as I used to, and tend to use a laptop more often than I used to when on the road).

Anyway, some details and photos back from when I built it (actually I built two, and am using the 2nd one now, after the builtin video on the first died and no more mobos were available)

Also, I seemed to have lied. It was based on an i3. I'm fairly sure you can get mobos in miniITX format for at least i5 and probably i7 at this point.

Also, turned out that I needed a voltage regulator between my solar DC system and the computer. The picoPSU can only handle up to 14V, but the solar system can sometimes run the voltage at 14.4V, which will shutdown the computer. Such a thing as too much sunshine! :)
There's fairly solid evidence that mild to moderate drinkers live longer. This is usually attributed to better socialization, which is a major factor in longevity, i.i. people with more robust social networks live longer and people who are lonely tend to die.

Another possibility is that healthier people tend to drink, though overall health is usually controlled for in studies like these.
Most people have their phone as a 2FA device, but they will login to websites/services on their phone anyway. Would you suggest preventing logins from phones?

The REAL benefit of TOTP is that it's time sensitive. If someone does have your password and TOTP code over the wire, they cannot repeat the attack.

I think this service is fine, but as others have pointed our you're giving away for TOTP secret to a third party which makes them a very good target for attackers looking to score a pot of gold.
Thanks for the clarification. Mea culpa. That 19% seemed too high.

Note the spreadsheet from Professor Damadoaran :
http://www.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pc/datasets/histretSP.xls

The years 2001-2020 inclusive S&P 500 arithmetic average inflation adjusted total return is 6.79% ( =average(o92:o111) ). Which is below the 1928-2020 average return of 8.5%. Inflation might be underestimated. 6.7 is a lot closer to your calculation!
Your response is exactly why artificial boundaries should be set up. Most of these requests will not be important and they should either be dissuaded entirely or dealt with much later. The ones that are important (note: very infrequent) will be in the hands of someone capable of navigating internal politics despite the existence of a "stop bothering me" canned response.

Every team I work with (very large company) leverages this approach, their productivity would be Nil if they left a direct channel wide open. Back channels exist only where they should exist.

Yeah, often stolen dealership software isn't going to be enough for this stuff. Be prepared to spend your time dumping flash chips, reverse engineering and patching firmware.
A lot of people are dismissive, and to be honest, I'm a bit skeptical too.

But this is fundamentally an absolutely great idea. If anyone is able to crack this nut, then this could be a more momentous invention than the Haber-Bosch process.

Here's why: at this point all food produced on Earth starts from the point where photosynthesis produces a molecule of sugar. That reaction is terribly inefficient at 1-3% efficiency. At least in principle it should be possible to synthetically produce glucose and other sugars at a higher efficiency. This paper [1] goes into more details.

Once you get synthetic sugars or starch, you can use them as feedstock for other things. Aquaculture, poultry, mushrooms, etc.

This is a good point, and one I have considered quite a bit. To me it is the only selling point for Firefox.

But I have to live my life, I have to use my tools, I need my tools to work on my behalf. If your tool sucks so bad that you have to sell it on what amounts to an ideological argument you need to change how you manage the tool. Why can't Mozilla do what they used to do, offer a competitor to google and a proper, working tool that serves the user?

Also on that note, if keeping a competing rendering engine is all you need, apple maintaining a walled garden with Safari playing that role. People have to use safari, unlike Firefox, so that role is filled.
You curse the devs who build excellent libraries and give them away for free, because they do not accept the additional burden of never making changes that would require you to adjust your usage?

You could choose not to use such libraries, but as long as they're up front about it I don't see how you can hold it against them.
They could, but they don't because it's not their responsibility. Likewise, should we shame rich silicon valley knowledge workers because they didn't pay to keep their local restaurants afloat during the pandemic?
