Agree with this. I recently got into strength training, started cranking out podcasts then. They've now extended in other aspects, grocery shopping, taking a walk during lunch, driving. I think it's nice to have entertainment without requiring my visual focus, especially when you stare at screen for the majority of the day.

Some of my favorites:

- Dan Carlin's Hardcore History: I've been a sick fuck with these really, started with the one over the history of nukes. Finished all the ones on spotify and paid for his library, worth every penny.

- 99% invisible: Love this one as it takes introduces some interesting topics of the design of everyday things, their definition of design is very broad so you get episodes all over the place

- Sucker for interview style podcasts with good guests but it depends on the guests, some options include: Knowledge Project, The Portal, Tim Ferris, Lex Friedman, Joe Rogan, Jordan Harbinger

- Azeem Azhar's Exponential View: my favorite tech related podcast, also has a great newsletter of the same title

- Conflicted: this is a really interesting one by an ex-Al Qaeda member turned M16 informant, really interesting perspective on middle east issues and other geopolitical things
Really interesting article on the 'branding' of disease.

A couple of quotes:

"Germs/bacteria can and do change shape and function according to their environment. Fungus is not seperate from bacteria it IS bacteria in another form, in fact the form they adapt to for the most toxic circumstances – like an assault of antibiotics."

"If your blood becomes toxic (brand name ‘sepsis’) you will have a lot of dead and dying (poisoned) blood cells. A dead blood cell no longer carries a charge, the thing that keeps them all repelled from each other like little magnets repel. Once dead or dying they clump into brand name ‘Thrombi’- thrombosis, erm covid-19 or the ‘delta variant’. Some more new brand names for you."
Of course these systems existed, they just used paper or other mediums. Did you not receive calendars, directory books or yearbooks, permission slip for upcoming museum trip, etc? Save the date slip or important school numbers magnet for the fridge?

Seems to me you’re the one insisting in doing something in the worst possible way.

I have a high street lined with shops on my way home where I can stop by, have a quick chat, perhaps pick up something that caught my attention as the scent of freshness overwhelmed my senses when I walked into the shop owned by a person that invites me for a drink and has visited my house socially.

The newest place near me right now was opened by an investment banker that chose to optimise for his hairline in his own words, so when I stop there to get stock up on exotic groceries, that is the best solution for me and if it’s raining, so what? I’ve got towels at home.
Deep Bream: Free Range, Organic Memes (Mostly) about Deep Learning
> The rush to validate the gay rights movement has pushed people far beyond their comfort zone, and the culture war has put pressure on people to assert their allegiance to the camps by overstating or denying their deep connections. "I love you bro" was actually a pretty common sentiment, and now many very progressive people feel the need to qualify it - "I love you, bro, but not like in a sexual way, not that there's anything wrong with that"

to counter your anecdote, in all my years of experiencing strong, platonic same-sex friendships - including ones in which we expressed love for each other - i have not once thought even for a moment about the gay rights movement, or anyone's perception of my sexuality.

i think your comment may reveal more about your own state of mind than it does anything broader about society. i encourage you to reflect on that.

* edited to remove unnecessary sarcasm. as has always been true, but is especially the case now, it's impossible to tell if someone is arguing in good or bad faith on the web. but i'm going to assume you're talking about your lived experience and are open to a discussion on this and not a troll trying to spread right-wing talking points.
This could also be a selection bias based on age of company. A company in that revenue range is probably 3-5+ years old. Angular was much more popular back then, and even though it changed drastically with 2.0 there was a much clearer upgrade path than a full rewrite in something like React.

Couldn't disagree more and this is exactly why I worded the text very carefully in the way that I did. It's true that you need to be a certain level of self-driven to achieve a goal or project, and that a good portion of the motivation for it should come internally, but human beings are not the machines that we program and it doesn't benefit us to pretend that we are. Long hours of working on the same overwhelming things has the very natural effect of burning us out, so external motivators are necessary from time to time, and I would argue much more beneficial than running on fumes just because you have some irrational belief that you're too much of a Terminator to need external motivation.
I don't think you can get a quantity (ie ".1%") from a non-quantifiable thing like "generally walkable". I consider my town very walkable except for grocery stores, which is a pretty core aspect.
> "[...] But you have to involve students, and especially teachers, in the development from the start. There has been none of that in the School Platform.”

Oh my! I can imagine some bureaucrats playing "Lord-Master of Administration", enjoying the small power, they have, while burning through tax provided money and, generally, making a career. There may be sides, I do not understand, but, from the article, it just looks like this.
Can you elaborate on it not scaling? Keeping a spare is a pretty common pattern; see tires, house keys, emergency supplies.

Perhaps Jeff Bezos wasn't the first person to think of it, but I give him credit for the decision to turn every single internal Amazon service into an API. Obviously it worked splendidly for monetizing it, but as a guideline I really appreciate the idea. The better the APIs a project has, the better the quality of interaction with other development. In the end this just raises the tide for everyone.

I think I am a bit like you, I hear voice (my voice when I type or read) and I comment in my head on things around be and things I do, but its me-me, it feels 100% like part of my consciousness aligned with me. It doesn't feel like a separate entity commenting on my life.

I find it fascinating reading about how others' heads are working.

I tied to learn to read faster, and one of the techniques is to stop your inner voice, but I failed. Though maybe I enjoy reading more and acting out the text in my head

A number of years ago, I reported a problem with its default Python mode and the way it automatically indents things. I got a response, which confirmed it was a problem. Then nothing happened and the report was eventually closed.

For me, that was representative of several other issues I had encountered over the years. It's a great tool, but it is 1) old and sometimes baroque ("make-frame" comes to mind), 2) so large, even if you consider just the built-in functionality, that they seem to have problems keeping everything up to snuff.

I am starting to move to Visual Studio Code. That's a painful shift, because I wrote lots of customizations in emacs, but, on the other hand, it has much better tools for many modern things I need to deal with (AWS, for example).

I love emacs, but it needs a replacement -- something with the same basic architecture, but more modern concepts of how editors work and maybe an extension language easier to get buy-in for than emacs lisp. I had hopes for Atom, but... that looks pretty dead.
Ideally you need an electrolyte mixture after the first day e.g. potassium/magnesium/sodium or else you start to feel like shit.
I'm not proposing any solutions. Just stating that a software with source open may not necessarily mean it's free and open in the sense it was originally intended. What one wants to do with it I think depends on one's own values.

I use qutebrowser, vivaldi and brave (on mobile) and sometimes console based browsers when I can get away with it. Qutebrowser and Lynx are open source. Vivaldi and I think Brave aren't open source? I'm using them because I read about their team, their business model, their past and hung out in their forums and decided that I'd support them. Doesn't mean anyone else have to. And there's nothing wrong with making money off opensource software and that's how it was intended in the first place. Original open source software authors didn't mean that the software has to be free of charge. For me, I don't want to support an organisation that sacks the researchers of their core product but the execs pay themselves millions of dollars. Most of those dollars come from Google. I'm sorry that that makes no logical sense to you.

I'm over in SF, but you know what app I can use to summon a taxi? The Uber app. What can I use to get bus routes/schedules? The Uber app. Nearby scooters? The Uber app.

This article is clinging to the one trick pony narrative that ridesharing prices are higher for airport trips right now (it ought to be extremely telling that they keep talking about Lyft, which has lower market share and thus higher prices). If you think ridesharing is solely about airport trips, you're kinda missing the point of what "taking over the world" means to Uber.

If delivery happens by the same means you would have been doing it (eg. a car), it adds nothing to the communal or ecological value of a neighbourhood — it's merely a consumer's convenience in saving time.

Only if delivery was organized in a way to deliver to multiple households in the same area does it start to make sense from an ecological perspective: but your neighbourhood still has to have those delivery trucks in the walking/biking paths.

I have not played with VS Code a lot, but I get the impression that, yes, they aim for something similar. I'm not qualified to judge, though, how successful they are so far.

FWIW, when I hear people talk about VS Code, they appear to like it very much. But AFAICT, it has some way to go to catch up with all the functionality emacs has accreted over 30+ years.

Also, there is an effort replace the old lisp engine inside emacs with GNU Guile, which is a JIT compiler that supports Scheme, ELisp, and Javascript. I have not tried it so far, but it might become possible to customize and extend emacs with Javascript in the not-so-distant future.
The VS Code/normal car and emacs/F1 racer analogy seems weak. VS Code can bring most of the functionality of a relatively well tuned and customized vim or emacs setup to a much broader range of developers, and with very little investment. Less time spent gold-plating and polishing an editor's configuration is more time spent solving actual problems.
I am in no way a mechanics/chassis expert but I have been involved in EV projects in the past and there is a substantial amount of design that goes into protecting EV batteries from impact or perfuration.

I agree that it would be much more sustainable to convert our old fleet of cars into EV but unless someone brings forward a big leap in battery protection for these conversions, to me it still feels relatively unsafe when compared with a vehicle designed from the ground up as an EV.
Lol how was a top-of-the-top end desktop release supposed to translate well into excellent laptop chips?

Something about your wording here seems to imply that it's not practically guaranteed that these don't translate into laptop results

I honestly never get why the whole "quiet and cool" thing comes up for these top of the line CPUs.

My current personal system is near-silent and already drawing something like 450W peaks for GPU usage alone, which translates to a lot more than "a few percentage points of performance"

If you can pay, you can make just about anything short of server parts quiet and cool, and the power difference won't affect your CO2 footprint in any meaningful way. And when you're looking at $600 CPUs, generally speaking you can pay...
This really isn't a fair statement to make because Angular without RxJS and Observables is nothing. The core http library is based on observables. If you forego observables, you're using very little of what makes Angular useful.
> It's the same when you get back home after work though.

I would argue it's even easier in the evening, for sure. The point of doing it in the morning is that your brain is fresher; I'm just saying that might still not be enough to start.

> I personally have 5 "free" hours after work

Yeah, but it's after work, when you're inevitably more tired. One could push it by going to bed earlier and waking up at 5am, but it risks becoming unsociable.

Also, I expect you (and OP, and a lot of folks in this thread) are 20-somethings with no attachments and no family. Those things tend to suck every bit of spare time you have, for years on end.

I learned the same on long distance motorcycle trips. I didn't have Bluetooth in my helmet, so I spent a lot of time silently staring at the road.

It's where I got my best thinking done, simply because I had nothing else to do. I'd often reach my hotel and get right on my laptop to Google things or write code. I built my best projects on the road.

I think this is why people walk, meditate or take long showers. Idle time is important, but we do everything to avoid it.

I mean, it's not just FAANG. Literally everyone except banks use the standard Python environment. simonh is right about the reason for the forked tech stack.

Actually, it's probably not FAANG folks at all. I'd expect ex-FAANG folks to be more sympathetic to the forked python situation... FAANGs have an abundance of non-standard and frustrating infra (wasn't 5TB just posted yesterday?), and maybe even on steroids compared to banks (do any of the FAANGs not have at least one custom linux kernel?) Hell, both As roll a shitload of their own silicon.
Daily standups should be performed in text on some dedicated channel. This allows me: to see your problem in more detail(or just skim), click a link to your PR and have a look at it, get interested and help us find best solution.

During audio standup, I just wait for my name. Tell some stuff preferably as short as possible, as everybody has to listen and is likely as bored as I am.

While reading standup update in text during morning coffee allows me to peek on the internet (maybe i will google using better terms etc.) spend a little bit more time on it. All while drinking coffee and doing regular internet scrolling - so pretty low effort.

The choice between OOP React and Angular boils down to this, as you said, people prefer the OOP nature as they come from Java, C#, some prefer even more the templating system of Angular as that reminds them of JSP, Thymeleaf and other systems that were used in enterprise systems in the past.

Though, the concept of React Hooks changes everything. Functional components coupled with JSX and styledcomponents give you superior composability and encapsulation, imho. When I'm programming in Angular, I notice the familiary, it's like I'm using Spring but on the frontend, while in principle I like the rule of least power, I can say that the declarative nature of React is game changing. Look at the ecosystems that are being developed now with Hooks, like Tanstack, react-hook-form, etc. People are literally creating their own SwiftUIs and Jetcomposers in JavaScript (TypeScript).
If science is the meat, art is the spices.
Maybe because I couldn't care less about those stupid new void concepts that are used basically as 'holier than thou' weapon against other people.

This terms are based in the --false-- claim that [all] men are dominant and [all] women are passive and unable to defend themselves from the big-bad-male. They aim for a society uniform when people will have much less margin to be an individual, and people with long legs or that weight different will be ashamed for that. Both terms, mansplaining and manspreading evoke a very dystopian feeling.

If your target userbase has a stable, reasonably good internet connection, bundle size doesn't matter. Perhaps it's a dirty secret of front end development these days, but in many use cases, it's a micro-optimization. Now if you're selling goods on Amazon, and billions of page hits and 50ms slower page load time means X% fewer goods sold, you've made a case: one developer spending time on performance optimization is saving your business millions. Most engineers aren't working at that scale.
