I think anger is a natural part of life sometimes - but we have some control of how we react to anger. I certainly would quit a job if one of my co-workers was allowed to shout at me!

Often when we feel anger, there is something that needs to be expressed, but the art is in choosing the right moment and expressing it in the right way (which I add is certainly not an art I have perfected!).

Coming from the Midwest I was brought up in a weirdly religious meritocracy where it was all about worship of "hard work". Unfortunately over time I'm realizing that others perceptions of me are more important to career advancement over any of the actual work. So much more important.

> But something feels off when we're justifying our simian prejudices

It does, but in so many ways I feel like I'm trying to swim against the current if I continue down the "kick ass and take names" route vs. the "tread carefully and make sure everyone likes you" one. Even if you're successful at solving "Very Big Problem™" people tend to hate the wrecking ball who doesn't participate in 2:00pm office beers - even if they are getting shit done.

Sorry to interject my own strong feelings here but work isn't about work as much as we like to think... It is my experience at every place that I've worked that SWEs that make the most friends, participate socially, and prioritize their own brand internally are the ones that move up. Practical example: instead of being the person who busts ass to optimize the core Postgres DB (by meticulously sussing out slow queries etc), be the person who starts the Friday book club. Although the former is of way more value to the tangible product, the latter is way more valuable to you socially.

Your outward social narrative is more important than anything these days - this is just work culture anymore.
I like this framing. Facebook’s problem is that it facilitates the feeling of connection at the expense of the real thing. You see some Evil Conservative post or Evil Liberal post that you’re sure to interpret uncharitably, and you’ve never talked to the poster about this topic (or at all), so you’re sure you have a good picture of that person in your head.

But it’s a good framing beyond that too. You see vacation pictures posted by a friend you haven’t talked to in five years, so you feel connected. You feel connected to tons of people you haven’t actually talked to in ages.

When I left social media, the biggest change I found was that I’d actually directly contact friends more. I had to now! Less pub-sub and more one on one interaction. You trade superficially knowing more about each other without effort for actually knowing more about each other with effort.
If it was just that small difference, I would have picked up C decades ago, instead of despising it. There are all the .h files fractured off randomly from the source files, littering the landscape, the make system which never quite seems to work, the abuse of case sensitivity as a feature, the stupidity of uncounted strings ending with (maybe) a null, the abuses of macros which make things unreadable, then the pointers that are never quite explicit... char * or char, it never, ever* made sense to me. In Pascal, it's simple... @x is the address of X, x^ is what X points to. In pascal, you pass the value of an argument by default, or optionally you can pass it by reference, and the syntax doesn't change, and you don't have to play with the footgun that is pointers.

But sure, using the reserved words BEGIN and END at the bounds of a block of code break people's brains ;-)
Aren't all these homes required to be listed on the MLS before being sold? My understanding is a home (at least in California) can't be sold unless publicly listed for X days on the MLS.
What is? Their original statement I guess. I think it is more unparsable than wrong. I think the we should invite the philosophers and linguists in. From a programming point of view -- fatal compilation error, "exponential" is not a comparator.

Once again Apple is showing how to do things stupidly. They won't allow you to boot from an external HDD/SSD if the internal one fails. On top of that they make it extremely difficult to replace the internal disk on your own. Carbon Copy Cloner has been my number one program all these years, but I think that Apple is pushing us loyal and technical competent people away. They just want "simple" users.
I did want to quit around episode 6 of season 1 on my first watch. Part of the problem is that it takes most of season 1 to cement the main characters and establish the story. I stuck it out and was hooked by season 2. Season 3 was fantastic. The story just keeps evolving, all the way up to book 9 and various novellas (season 6 is coming out in December).

I just couldn't find myself to care about any of the actual characters.

I felt the only actual 'character' you where supposed to care about was Civilization itself. Everybody and everything else where bit players and side characters who's fates only mattered to the extend they helped or hindered Civilization.
Intention, orientation and living "in spite" of society is part and parcel of the social individual. I'm not putting him down; I'm just deflating him. I'm not devaluing individualism either, it's a tool, but, to me, to say that an individual has autogenerated his achievements is like saying that a plant's flower does not come from the plant.

One nice thing about Rust is that there's an excellent chance you can actually modify this code. That's enormously important for anybody who has even modest programming skills.

For Free Software projects it's often under-estimated how much contribution you can get from the long tail of people who've got one small change they'd like to make. IF they can make the change. Otherwise you miss out.

Let's give two extreme examples to calibrate, the first one is real, the second for reasons that will become obvious is hypothetical:

1. My friend Chris wanted to do a trivial thing in Gimp, but like, a lot of times. So, he finds out how to write scripts that run inside Gimp, he writes a script, it works immediately - problem solved, might as well mail it off in case anybody else finds it useful. Last time I looked, his script is out-of-the-box in Gimp.

2. Back in 2016 if you wrote a small non-bug-fix change for Apache OpenOffice, you needed to build the full C++ application. Then you could send patches over to their dev team. If you'd done this, those patches still aren't in a shipping product, the next non-bug-fix release AOO 4.2 was at the time scheduled for "soon" hopefully 2017. Last time I looked they were lamenting that "We have missed our goal on going into the beta in 2019" but still hadn't shipped anything.
"Ability to make turns is a non-goal for the MVP of the car we're building"

You can't record a cover of Queen's We Are The Champions or Somebody To Love without struggling with the UI if 3/4 is not supported. Or Blondie's Call Me. Or a plethora of other popular music.

That’s because you need to park personal cars. Car share solves that problem by keeping the cars on the road.

Last mile is always a challenge for public transit because the economies of scale don’t kick in at the necessary scale.

Self-driving car share is basically like having hundreds of four-person bus routes. Except they run on-demand.
I would suggest to not use brew for anything that depends on python, ruby etc. Most of the time you can use e.g. asdf to manage all your dev dependencies.
Also, most softwares allow you to install them without hombrew. (e. g. https://postgresapp.com/ for postgres).
I have seen so many installations screwed up because hombrew upgraded some packages without requiring a confirmation from the user. It's a bit unfortunate given that so many packages are on hombrew.
Does this map not include cancer risks near military facilities? I have a hard time believing the cancer risk in San Diego, CA is so low when there are military air bases all over the county, which use known cancer-causing agents as fire retardants.
> The only thing I miss are delta RPMs.

Delta RPMs just aren't worth the pain. They were a nice idea at the time but the utility of them has not kept up with the cost of supporting them.
Yes. You can either learn and use a locked in, vender specific service, or you can learn and use the same tools they use.

Adding sugar to meat doesn’t make meat the cause of obesity any more than shooting someone with COVID means COVID killed them.

Neither of them are all meat diets, you just posted articles less that state incorrectly that that eating too much plants and adding meat is proof that meat are the only reason they’re obese and diabetic.
Interesting story about the lecturer. The RAND institute proposed an alternative approach to PhDs modeled more on professional degrees. Law professors, for instance, typical complete law degrees in a very predicable 3 years and build their publications on the job as well paid professors.

This suggestion in the RAND paper was part of an article concluding that there is no shortage of interest in STEM PhDs, and that the aversion US citizens have to these PhD programs is rational and market based when compared to outcomes from professional degrees with (comparably) short, predictable completion times and vastly lower attrition rates.

In other words, if there really were a shortage of PhD STEM students, the career path you described would be plentiful and typical (well, not the 16 year part, but the model of getting good, stable, paid employment after a shorter and more easily completed degree, followed by a process of building publications in that role).

For now, unfortunately, the main lesson is to just say no to PhDs, unless you have a very very strong personal interest in completing one.
So for me, it came down to the individual view. I have dumped friends for 'other' political views. But they didn't tend to be related to agencies, like you list.

They're the personal ones. People who don't believe gays should be allowed to be married by the state. People who don't believe women or minorities should be allowed to vote. People who believe all immigrants come here to kill/steal/crime whatever.

The difference is when it's an institution (private versus public schools for example), that's pretty easy to disagree over. One side does not believe the other is inherently evil and a 'lesser' person. When it's about individual rights, and an attack on you as a person, and your inherent rights as an individual, that is almost impossible to overcome.
I tried using the Libby app, my local library system uses it for digital "loans".

The most interesting (and cynical) interview advice I've heard was that the outcome of interviews is often decided in the first 5 minutes. Barring some extreme competency issues, if the interviewer likes you then they'll help you succeed and sometimes overlook your flaws. I guess this is Pygmalion effect in action?

I built a feature in arkade [1] to pull in binaries for CLIs for infrastructure and developer tooling that I wanted to use - it now has 72 CLIs that you can pull down with a single command and most importantly, as near to instantly as you're going to get.

For instance: arkade get kubectl@v1.22.1 yq helm faas-cli

It's not got anywhere near the catalog of brew, and doesn't compile software, or help you find lib-xyz for your Yubikey, but it is really fast and has a growing community behind it.

It works on MacOS, Linux, Windows and arm hosts to determine the correct download URL and pull in a binary.

+1 And it's worth noting that the CCP* is still actively pursuing these repressions, increasing it's extent, and unapologetic for it. Versus, for example, Steven Harper as Prime Minister of Canada in 2008 made an apology to indigenous people for the residential school program and established the TRC to progress to reconciliation.

This is a world of difference than a 2021 report of torture and sexual assault of Uyghurs[1]. I think the most damning part to western cultures is just that we were willing to go to war over this happening to Jewish people, but not willing to do it over Uyghur people.

Rust is about as controversial as Python these days, though for different reasons.

To be clear, I'm not annoyed at it being called out here (much - it gets old no matter which langauge is pimped). I'm most annoyed at how much space in the features doc, which should be about the project, not the internals.
Compliance in a DevOps Culture
Any time. I've been there and it's a sucky situation. I understand it's tempting to give them a piece of your mind, but I've found that taking the high road helps.

The problem is you giving honest and brutal feedback feels good in the moment but you never know when any connections you have will come in useful in the future, and if you will burn those connections with your feedback.

You don't stand to gain much by being honest on your way out, but there's a possibility of losing out if you are. So take the high road.
If my memory serves me right, Foundation was never about individuals but collectives. That's what psychohistory math was about. The show fails completely to transmit this idea which for me, is the core of the books. So if they don't even get that right, what's the point of making a show about it?

LOTR and Harry Potter are easy to translate to the big screen because both follow the Hero's Journey formula. The same can be said with Dune. The only difficulty with Dune is that all of its content is hard to fit in two hour snippets.
> The stock market can be priced in BTC

Did the stock market value drop by 50% in the past couple of weeks?

Because BTC has doubled. If you're saying "BTC's price is the fundamental measure" of our economy, then it means we're in a horribly deflationary spiral right now.

-------

Alternatively, it means that BTC is in a bubble and maybe we can't price things in terms of BTC, because BTC is a horribly volatile asset that almost has no rhyme or reason behind its price movements.
The book "Super Freakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance" discussed one method that only costs on the order of millions of dollars a year -- I believe it was putting sulphur into the atmosphere to cause a cooling effect. It certainly sounded worth considering.
> I got tired of running `pacman -Syu`, rebooting, and having my machine not turn on due to some new kernel change or some video driver change, or something else.

I did get an update that disabled the trackpad on my Asus laptop around Fedora 32 or so. It was an upstream kernel bug that got fixed in a few days, but it was still pretty annoying. This was during a regular dnf update within the same major version, not an update from 32->33 (the kernel gets updated regularly, not just between Fedora version updates).

So personal anecdotes and YMMV.
> So how does the Apple TV series turn this into a visually compelling tale? It doesn’t. What it does instead is remake “Star Wars” under another name. There are indispensable heroes, mystical powers, even a Death Star. These aren’t necessarily bad things to include in a TV series, but they’re completely antithetical to the spirit of Asimov’s writing. Pretending that this series has anything to do with the “Foundation” novels is fraudulent marketing, and I’ve stopped watching.

This translates to an assessment of too emotionally invested?

Name calling and gas lighting seem to be the natural way of some people's narrative approach of discredit the person without offering counter point to the statement (or rather, not able to).
The parent was talking about the rental market so I am talking about that. I agree your point applies to ownership.
You can't solve a housing shortage by charging landlords more taxes any more than you can solve a famine by charging farmers more taxes. If there aren't enough homes for everyone who wants to live in a city, then part of the solution has to be building more homes.

My PGP Cheat Sheet
Quick question (and a bit of an aside): let's say I'm interested in a specific feature being implemented (profile switcher like in chrome, built in feature as in [1], not an add-on as in [2]). How do I go about getting more attention to potentially have this prioritized?

Making an account in their bug tracker and spamming the threads sounds annoying, I'd personally get upset if someone did that to my repos or issue trackers so I don't want to do it to others. Also I'm not capable of contributing that feature myself so I'm kind of stuck.

Still, version after version of Firefox gets released and posted here, highlighting new things that get developed, and I see no progress there and the more time goes by it gets frustrating. I am using the profile functionality right now, it does work, and does what it's supposed to, just wish it was exposed to me via the same UX as in chrome and from the basic, default install, without needing extra add-ons or config.

Hopefully Netflix learn from Apples mistakes when doing the 3 Body Problem series
The most recent episode lost me. I think the biggest problem with filming the books is that the cast turns over every chapter. The genetic dynasty, Hari's hologram, Gaal going into extended hibernation are perfectly viable plot devices to keep the audience interested. So is jazzing up the action Making Gaal psychic really lost me. And so is the portrayal of Hari's forecasts as being a plan that hinges on specific people. That's really contrary to the book. The whole point of psychohistory is that cultural and society trends are nearly unavoidable and the individuals and their actions are nearly irrelevant except at the crisis moments where he would pop in to give relevant advice to whoever was around to listen. Magic people whose destiny is woven into the universe is completely anathema to that theme. That's just boring Star Wars.

Yeah, that's more-less the whole point of technology, and civilization. The alternative is to pack up and go back to living in caves.

Complex systems are there to be studied and managed with intelligent solutions. Not to scare us into trowing our hands up in the air and giving up.

> comment was buried under variations of the same argument: the vast majority of people cannot be expected to give up meat, and therefore to help both the environment and their health, and to stop killing animals, we should offer them artificial meat.

People historically have largely given up meat because it was too expensive at the time. To help the environment and stop killing animals, we should impose proper Pigovian taxes on meat (and/or the supporting process that directly produce the environmental impacts) so that they disutility imposed by eating meat is properly priced in. (This will also naturally create a demand for alternatives that substitute without the adverse effects to which taxes are attached.)
