I wonder if the social conditions and expectations have changed, the syndrome was originally identified back in 1991. A lot can change in 30 years.
Because the number of retirement age Japanese couples where the man stayed at home and the woman worked full-time late into the evenings for her entire career is probably in the hundreds.
My grandad and grandma on my mother's side are like this. They retired 5 years ago, at 60. Now, they do literally nothing all day, apart from read the paper, watch TV, and become increasingly embittered. They both really do seem pretty miserable and depressed, like they've settled in their chairs to wait for death, despite their relatively young age and relatively good health.

5 years on, they still just do nothing, all day, every day. I'd they were actually happy doing that, fair enough, but as it is, I really don't understand their attitude.

Personally, health permitting, I won't struggle for stuff to do when I retire, and I'll certainly be doing it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4oydSZTAns a comic poem touching on the transition to retired husband cohabitation in the UK by Pam Ayres.
Retirement is not for everyone. One thing (financial) retirement sometimes does, is removing the hunger/drive for becoming better. So many just end up as dilettantes in whatever hobbies or projects they're taking on. To become really good at something, most need to push themselves as though it's a full-time job.

On the other hand, some people thrive doing nothing, or barely nothing - just tending to their hobbies in short bursts, and living a chill lifestyle. You really don't know before you're in that position.

I'm saying this, because I've seen many people that took out early retirement, only to fall into those traps. They envisioned a grand life of hobbies, travel, and just fun times - then 1 month went by, 6 months, a year, etc. and they hadn't done jack sh!t. And it also hit them that 90% of their socialization came through work, and that their friends that still work, need to prioritize their own spare time.
Or in a great position to start over from scratch.
Thats a good point -- totally agree with you :)

DSPs are like dogs if you let them be: they eat all the budget, you want them to act like cats and stop eating when they're 'full'. If the outage causes budget to be spend in an accelerated way, this will probably mean less relevant ad placements.
That really depends on the tests and time period. False positive rates depend not just in the test but also the percentage of population infected. Unfortunately many people where diagnosed based on symptoms or a single test which was inaccurate. At the time telling someone to self isolate based on an inaccurate test and only preforming more accurate testing if they got really sick was considered acceptable.

In a study of 14 of the approved tests, one of the tests gave false positives more than 15% of the time, and three others gave false positives more than 10% of the time. https://www.sfgate.com/coronavirus/article/which-COVID-19-te...

Making yourself live on 24k in NYC is not a good idea. Publicly sharing that is an even worse idea. I’d be surprised if this gave a positive signal to your investors, but it surely won’t to anyone you possibly employ/pay salary for.
The larger problem in my view is that big Python systems tend to follow OOP design since functional programming patterns do not work well in Python. So you start with something minimal and simple inside a script or notebook, but quickly it evolves into something more like a Java code-base.

Typing does help, agreed.
>If you want to progress on social issues, you are not a conservative.

What a ridiculous statement. What point of history are you wishing to conserve? Do black people have rights? Do women have rights? Is public education OK? By your logic, the following argument is valid: “I don’t think blacks nor tables should the right to vote. Including the table proves it’s not a race issue for me. There’s a big difference between not wanting blacks to vote and being racist.”

Judging by your past comments, it looks as if politics are an emotional topic with you. It’s best to up/down-vote and move on than clutter the boards with this dribble.
The high prices are meant to discourage its use. That's why people mistakenly resort to using veterinary formulations - they are cheaper and available but not appropriate for humans.

> Even now, veteran Hawk Eye staffers will tell you that the grain-elevator explosion was a career highlight. It gave them the kind of thrill that all reporters crave. But there was also a real sense of ownership to the story: This was Burlington’s disaster—an event with an immediate impact. There was no question that The Hawk Eye would cover it from every possible angle.

Reading the article gives the feeling that reporters are psychopaths. The first thing when they heard of the disaster was not to go see if they could help anyone, but how can they publish a story that sells. Along with “if it bleeds, it leads” there is a sense of profiting of other people’s misery and voyeurism in the psyche of the industry.
I also default to use ag now and it is good at picking up things like .gitignores to exclude files. It works very well, I just wish it had a flag to limit the size of files searched because if a large file is found it can make the results harder to parse visually and most of the times when programming I only want to scan files that are under 100k (at most ... probably 10k is fine for a first pass).

This is really bad if the large file is some concatenated minimized javascript thing that is one massive line, then that really makes the results harder explore ( I tend to `ag foosearchterm | less -R` at that point) . Perhaps capping the line length in a result is another solution, if a line is over a couple hundred chars only show the relevant portion.
The article is sexist pseudoscientific crap. It could maybe be mentioned in an article on Japanese culture but the article in its current form shouldn’t be on EN wikipedia.

Frankly I find this type of exercise a bit obscene myself.
Rust had Mozilla behind it, a well-known relatively large tech organization/corporation. Most, if not all, popular languages nowadays tend to have/had some backing behind them.
Running on chromium is one thing, since I believe having a monopoly on what's essentially the new global operating system would not be healthy.

But Brave have just proven to be an unethical, borderline scammy project. And I'm saying this as someone who owns crypto and can see the value of advertisement in some cases.

Here are a few cases documented on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#Controvers...

And I'd add that having a business model where you put your own adds on top of ad-blocked ones is the most hypocritical thing to do.
I don't think anyone is objecting to Apple being allowed to offer a solution. Most simply want there to be other options available to customers.
You can have either without the other
the current system does not guarantee a high paying job if you have the skills and can demonstrate them. it requires that you go through timed coding tests which are unrelated to what you will be doing, and which you have to study for first, despite already having done all that in college, and despite that college possibly being ivy league, and despite having years of experience and released succesful products.

Interesting! I'll definitely take a look.
I honestly do not understand why people hate this idea.

Mozilla have found perfect place to put ads, they do not cover screen space, are not annoying or always visible. Not that different from Google paid search results, honestly even better.

YouTube has 1,500,000,000 monthly users and 50,000,000 YouTube Premium subscribers.

1,500,000,000 users
50,000,000 subscribers

That is how much people want to pay for what they use vs. ready to watch unskippable ads.

How many of 200 million Firefox users who do not like ads are ready to pay as little as $1 per month? I am pretty sure even 10%, i.e. $20M/month will help Mozilla a lot. But people love free things and whine.
Looks like a nothing here. Mozilla is within their right to add features to monetize their product and provide clear opt-outs for users who prefer “how it used to be”.
No my point was more -- there must be a male experience of "I'm not working any more suddenly -- now that I've just retired-- and have to hang around at home all the time with nothing to do and my wife seems angry about it."

It took Liberty Reserve 7 years and 17 countries cooperating to get nuked from orbit.

Tether was founded as Realcoin in 2014 by a group including former child star and accused sex offender Brock Pierce, so while it’s technically just rounding the 7 year mark, it didn’t begin in earnest until it was taken over by Bitfinex towards 2015 and didn’t become majorly problematic until 2016/2017 according to the NYAG findings.

This reminds me of my first time using a microscope. I was on a course on mushroom identification and we were looking at spores and other microscopic features.

I was so surprised when I saw shapes in the viewfinder that didn't look organic. There were squares and pyramids, it looked like Aztec ruins. And they were growing before my eyes! I then realised it was the reagents crystallising in the heat of the lamp.

The world of microscopes is like magic, it's a shame that more people aren't exposed to it.

Even just a quality 10x hand lens opens up a whole world of detail that we don't usually see.
There is a 'de-Googled Chromium' so there probably could be a 'de-Mozillad Firefox'
I wonder if you would feel differently if the 30% premium you were paying to Apple on every digital purchase were transparently shown on the transaction.
And they do need to do that. Browser makers having alternative revenue streams and reasons outside the browser-as-a-window to exist is necessary. One reason Firefox was losing market share is that it was just a window. Google, Apple, MS all provide a competitively good window but have other footprint on the web and can provide integrated services as a result.

One of the best parts about Brave is that they are trying to build independent revenue streams from things like integrated Jitsi features, an independent search engine and the like. Vivaldi builds in things like mail clients, RSS readers and a rudimentary notetaking tool.

In that vein, Pocket is a really good thing, and also helps combat link rot. The vocal Firefox userbase is moronically hostile to add-on services though, even if they are the ultimate key to Firefox's health.

Well, both of them already include something a bit similar.

Search suggestions are displayed and the items are conditioned to your location, cookies... Pages which know how to trick themselves to the top of this suggestions get visitors straight from the user's navbar.

If your language doesn't worry about lifetimes, they don't go away. It just means you have to worry about them yourself instead.

Sometimes that is great. Other times, that will be very hard and error-prone.

The original German title is "Lieder ohne Worte" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_Without_Words), and there is AFAIK no strict requirement for lyrics to count as a "Lied" (or at least "Lied" is not connected to "singen" the way "song" is connected to "sing").

Pocket is a good thing. It provides a reason for Mozilla/Firefox to exist.
Reporters act like a nervous system. It's not their job to help repair a wound, it's their job to spread news about the wound so that others can come and help. It's not psychopathic behavior, it's having a critical role and executing on it. I think if there's psychopathy, it's in what they choose to cover, and how they cover it.

How is two years of runway thinking far into the future?
Have you looked into Julia, Nim, Clojure, or even Common Lisp? I'm not sure bout Python interop with CL, but Nim and Clojure seems to have some kind of beta-grade interop, and there's a solid interop story in Julia. And all of those languages have some of their own "native" data analysis and scientific computing toolkits (Julia having more than "some", of course).

That said, complicated Python systems can be improved a lot by adding type annotations. That's more of a solution for web servers and other "easily type-able" applications. Typing support for scientific computing isn't quite there yet. So it depends on what kinds of systems are the complicated ones.

Ah, the memories of OS/2! I was into OS/2 in a big way. I was probably even passionate about OS/2. I was all-in on it.

OS/2 Productivity apps: DeScribe (word processor), Lotus 1-2-3 (spreadsheet), IBM DB2/2 (database), Golden Compass (CompuServe offline reader that would do online sync), etc.

OS/2 Development apps: IBM C Set++ (C/C++), IBM VisualAge C++ (C/C++), Borland C++ for OS/2, Watcom VX-REXX

Windows apps: WordPerfect for Windows, Borland C++

DOS apps: Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++

One of the most impressive things folks would do with OS/2 was format a disk (3.5" or 5.25") while simultaneously playing a game (without any hiccups in the game). This was essentially unheard of at the time.

It wasn't all fun and games though:
- You want to write code for OS/2 using sockets? IBM will sell you their IBM TCP/IP Development Kit for OS/2 for $75
- OS/2 PM (graphical desktop) had a fundamental flaw with its synchronous input queue (SIQ) that could lock-up the graphical desktop with a misbehaving app. The base OS was still running just fine, but the graphical desktop was hosed. There were some hacks like using a joystick button to try to reset PM. Occasionally it worked.
- IBM's marketing was inept at best. A common tag-line from frustrated OS/2 developers was: "Annoy IBM, support OS/2!"
- The "better Windows than Windows" was mostly true. This caused most application developers to just create Windows applications since both Windows and OS/2 users could run it.

I spent countless hours in the 'Canopus' room on CompuServe where OS/2 advocates (and some detractors) would discuss current happenings in the OS/2 community.

When my OS/2 world crashed and burned I had nothing else to fall back on because I was all-in on OS/2. This was a painful and valuable lesson to me about putting all my eggs in one basket. It was also a painful lesson about being a passionate developer. From that point on, I refused to be passionate about any one technology. I concluded that it was foolish to do so -- everything comes and goes. Additionally, passion clouds rational judgment.

9% ? I'm guessing you mean 9% of net profit, as I don't believe you can print and ship for 9%. You should specify what percent of gross sales the author actually gets, as it's not 93%

Authors are notorious for sticking to their favorite writing tools. You might want to call out what import options you have.
