Some heuritsics I use:

- play to your strengths, being balanced sounds nice but end up being really unproductive / un-pleasant

- be nice / kind / non-jugemental to people

- spend time on the things you like, as time and practice pile up you will end up skilled in those domain

- go for the things that are of interest to you, not for the trendy ones

- time spend automating tasks is usually time well spent

- taking a break to gather knowledge on something vaguely connected to the thing you are doing is never time lost

- when you have been procrastinating something for most of the day, declare that you will not do it today and that it is okay, it will free your mind to do other things instead of leaving you stuck

- try and do one, single and quantifiable, thing a day. With time they pile up and you end up doing a lot of things

- the mind is good at critisizing something but bad at doing something from scratch: instead of trying to produce perfection, do a rough draft and then improve on it incrementaly
All attachments, yes. But I am neither a Bodhisattva or fully enlightened. In addition, the core crisis I am experiencing is whether it is ok to watch a being suffer greatly in its torment by other beings without intervention. If the only act which may stop the other being from their act of torment is an act that results in their death (medicine to the afflicted), is it blameworthy?
'they' is generally always appropriate to use especially when it's a person you don't know personally. Heck, we use it for companies which are grammatically singular (in american english)
There are some situations where a transition is warranted; they're fairly special and rare situations, but I agree with you when you're talking about "random stuff opening and closing".

In broad terms, if the user cannot predict where things are going to move (typically because the position itself reveals new information, such as the data points in a data visualization), then a transition animation is warranted. On the other hand, if the UI responds to a user command by doing exactly what the user expected (such as expanding the children in an outline list when you click to expand), there is no need for a transition.
That is truly kafkaesque...

Surge pricing of a limited resource is not exactly "price discrimination" in the way that term is used traditionally in economics. Per wikipedia: "Price discrimination is a microeconomic pricing strategy where identical or largely similar goods or services are sold at different prices..."

In the case of surge pricing, there is just not enough goods or services to sell, so you simply dynamically increase the price in response to demand akin to an auction, not selling it more expensively to a subset of customers simply because they can pay and to others for lower prices (which presumes a supply surplus exists). In other words, an "Uber ride at rush hour" is not a substantially similar product to "Uber ride in off-peak time".

Pigs are known to pretty commonly work out why they're being raised (to the point that they get distressed as other pigs get taken away and work out when it's their turn).

That said, I don't particularly think we need to stop besides for environmental reasons. The ideal solution will be when we can grow "test tube" meat of comparable quality to existing meat.
It's time to step away from the screen
There's no cognitive dissonance here really. People are just self interested. They don't want a bunch of bars because that means people will drive drunk and piss and puke all over their property stumbling back after last call. They don't want fewer lanes because its just going to turn their commute from work into even more of a bottleneck. They don't want a mall built near them because of the traffic bottlenecks it would create, but they want a fast road to get to a mall at just enough distance away to not be affected by these issues themselves.

which suggests that the fd slow down (on Linux, anyway) may be `fd` doing unbuffered writes to stdout (probably to avoid interleave/mixing of multi-threaded output) and not be about the way the file tree recursion is written. The fix is probably for `fd -j1` to do buffered output (and ideally never clone/fork). (The MThread may be unproductive in a different way than my initial futex guess.)

My guess (without looking at the code - honestly Rust kind of hurts my eyeballs) is that this unbuffered mode is not even really guaranteed/sound anyway. If you pipe the output, e.g. `fd -jN|cat>out` with `N>1` somewhere and any deep hierarchy pathname output is bigger than PIPE_BUF you hit trouble. Once those pipe writes lose atomicity, threads can be put to sleep and re-awakened in various orders and wind up interleaving their pipe writes with or without userspace-level buffering.

(filename max)*(open fd default limit)=255*1024 =~ 4*PIPE_BUF. So the "full path print out" may still be capable of being > PIPE_BUF and so still interleave producing non-existent pathnames (which would be so long they would need special care like chdir + chdir... + stat to even verify non-existence). You would very likely have to synthesize a file tree to trigger this failure mode, of course.

I say all the above in terms of a robust tool. In terms of benchmarking walks, it is much easier to just do like `dents dstats` and use the walk to produce a depth histogram instead of mega/gigabytes of path output. If you have some burning need to be multi-threaded it is even easy to histogram in parallel and then merge at the end and the histograms should almost always fit in private L2 CPU caches. Could always be a total count instead of depth histo. AFAIK, GNU find has no `-print`-like `-count` operator to compare, but I'd bet the C internals make such not so hard to add. (Yes, you could use `-exec..+`, but this might be so slow as to make the benchmark questionable.)

Parenthetically, I wonder if any stdlib in any prog.lang does the "chdir loop + stat|other" type of work for users with such pathologically long pathnames for all the file system calls. Seems unlikely, but not impossible, and easy to know when it is needed once a "string knows its length". Food for thought.
I agree that the Jainist philosophy is impractical: the essential difference between the Jainist philosophy of non-harm and the Buddhist is one of intention.

True. Even if we don’t say a word, we still communicate non-verbally.

Also, cultural differences have a big impact on how we experience silence. For example, in Finland 'active silence' can be a sign of respect and showing interest by concentrating quietly, but some cultures might experience the silence differently than Finns.

> Humans (as a species) are destroying their ecosystem past the point of no return, putting their very existence in question.

I strongly disagree. We have more food than ever before. More clean water than ever before. More safety and prosperity than ever before. More innovation than ever before.

As for our ecosystem, humanity has solved any and every calamity ever before. And we will solve this one as well.

Don't get me wrong - we should not take climate change lightly just because of the belief that we will solve it. We should take it seriously and tackle it head-on, but with the belief in our ability in problem solving and innovation. We cannot solve a problem if we believe that humanity is going to destroy itself.

>These two things can also be interpreted as lack of self awareness or any other property you deem worthy in a living being, thus making them inferior to another species.

I’m looking forward to seeing progress on things like this and equivalent work on HPV (for the other HPV variants and the massive bulk of the population that either because of age or gender didn’t get the now widespread HPV vaccine)

It may not be a cure for HIV but it’s also the sort of thing that would be nice to eliminate from the variables at play in “healthy” that affect basically everything to do with medical science. Taking a few more variables out of the equations will hopefully make other things easier to study.

> if it's generally accepted that if you're gonna steal something you are putting your life on the line - that means people would think twice before stealing something from other people.

For how well that works, see:

- drug related crime in countries where it’s a death sentence

- militarized police forces and the overall outcome for society

- effects on crime levels in US states where such a crime is a capital offense vs states where it isn’t

All this does is raise the stakes and people committing the crimes resort to more violent means of committing the crime/avoid capture.

While it might feel good to know you’d be allowed to kill a thief, it won’t stop it from happening. It’ll just make it that much more dangerous to be around when that crime happens and more likely to get shot as a result.
What Thiel means by “libertarian” is that he wants to be able to do whatever he wants without anyone constraining his actions in any way; here “libertarian” is more or less a euphemism for “antisocial narcissist”.

He wants to bring his preferred racist, authoritarian, reactionary government to unchecked power so they can dismantle those parts of the state or any other social institutions which protect the disempowered from corporate abuses, without any care for the rights and lives of millions of less wealthy and connected people that get trampled in the process.

What we are talking about here: corrupting elected officials, the civil service, and the judiciary; undermining elections and nullifying their results; diverting public money and property into private hands; erecting barriers to competitive markets to entrench the power of the already powerful; turning law enforcement against peaceful dissenters; encouraging the use of private political violence and threats of political violence as a tool to suppress dissent; etc.

So...if you want to develop the "open" project, you have to join a private planning discussion? I appreciate the good intention here, but I think fundamentally that planning something like this should happen in the open. While you can say that this is an "open" method, I mean open as in "visible on search engines," and "visible to outside observers." Even a closed door with no lock and a "walk-ins welcome" sign on it is fundamentally a closed door.

>The truth is there isn't that much demand for high density housing and walkable neighborhoods.

Real estate prices for high density housing and walkable neighborhoods disproves this statement outright. As for why this type of housing is not built more frequently, there is a fairly simple explanation: they are illegal to build under zoning laws, which massively favour single-family homes.

> Some of them stick around once they have kids, but it's rare and usually reserved for the well-off who can afford private schools and family-sized homes. In SF you've got the parents who are happy to put their kids and groceries on the back of their bike, but most look to find something a bit closer to suburbia.

There's a simple explanation for this: cities in the U.S are unsafe in particular for children due to the massive infestation of cars and car-oriented infrastructure. Suburbs appear to be the only alternative, but they are pretty damn harmful to the development of children - basically being a prisoner inside your house until you are old enough to drive a car is quite frankly demeaning.
No need to bring race into this - people into calling out car culture want to build and upgrade cities to make things better for everybody wherever they live. Bikes are obviously a lot cheaper than cars too, so better bike infrastructure everywhere reduces inequality in a way.

Anyway, as to your other points - firstly, changing or building cities in a way that is not car centric doesn't mean there are no cars and nobody drives - obviously people still have to and will. Actually, building cities in a way that is not car-centric is safer for people who still drive, and there's a lot less traffic, so that's good. It's just even better for people who don't or can't drive (think of people under 16 years old, who have little independence to travel living in suburbs).

It should be noted too that non car-centric cities are much better for e.g. elderly people to live in, because everything is much closer, and good cycle and walking paths are much better to ride mobility scooters on. Things being in walkable distance also helps people age better, because the exercise means you retain your mobility longer. It's pretty scary how as people age, you get to a point where if you're not staying active, you really quickly start to lose the ability to be active, which is a unfortunate spiral.

The last thing - it's not just bikes (look up the YouTube channel with the same name, by the way - it's awesome). Improving zoning laws and building good public transport is also a key part of the puzzle, and helps solve lot of the issues as well.
(I will add for the benefit of certain people that a little camera on the bottom of a satellite will not be invading anybody's privacy. You might be able to just pick out where your house ought to be.)
Ranking programming languages by energy efficiency
The way I've understood it, it's more closer to the latter
Before the pandemic, I was craving the opportunity to do more impactful work than I had come in the past, ideally on healthcare. But the pandemic gave me the opportunity to use my programming skills to help nearly 1 million people schedule appointments to get vaccinated.

That’s the most meaningful work I’ve ever done.
There was a house fire on my street in Washington, DC, in late 2014. The owners sold it at auction to someone who had it taken down to studs and brick before renovating it. Some time in the ten years before that, an apartment building fire a mile south displaced multiple families, and left nothing but the facade.
If I go somewhere often, I like to find the "chill route" that minimizes complex left turns, even if it takes a bit longer.
Pgagroal: High-performance connection pool for PostgreSQL
You have it completely backwards. Suburbs aren't scalable. That's why back in the 50s-70s when they were first built, they were amazing, but today, they are rife with traffic problems, noise pollution, and crumbling infrastructure.
Yes, with configure-via-code being an option.
Citus: Distributed PostgreSQL for Data-Intensive Applications
Note the upper case HTML. Not sure when we stopped doing them, but they were everywhere.

Also: clan websites with tiny (pixel) fonts. This was early 2000s and we did font-size 8 or 9 px, because it looked cool.

Of course, the horror were drop shadows as images in a table layout. I was so happy when CSS had drop shadows and you didn’t need image files and ugly markup anymore.

Good times.
Open Syllabus Project: Mapping the college curriculum

It depends on the company. On an actual production app with lots of users, bug triaging is very organic. Almost anyone at the company can determine how serious a bug is from what I’ve seen in those environments.

On more prototypal apps, where there aren’t many users (if it all) other than the devs/designers/analysts/qa, it can be a true shit show. No one has a sense of what’s important and the priority list is largely dependent on whoever has seemingly the most authority.

If you are working with few users, it’s better to first make sense of priorities of the team members (the team members are synthetic/faux users that have other motivators than just getting the most use out of the app). Without users, it could be that the bug your primary stakeholder found is THE MOST IMPORTANT bug, when in fact it’s not. Or, a super important bug that the dev team ignores because there are no users for it to matter yet. This is murky territory, it’s basically fantasy-land since you are building a small group’s vision (which has yet to be, you know, used).

If you have users, then you don’t even have to ask this question. Just put yourself in the average user’s shoes and determine if the bug makes the app unusable, confusing, inconvenient, etc. If you actually generate revenue from the app, then it’s even easier since you’ll know if the bug is not delivering what the user paid for lol (your showstopper critical bug).

I’d argue it’s worth sitting down with the team and first determining what ‘quality’ means for you guys. Having zero bugs doesn’t necessarily mean quality control. You could be fixing something that’s shoddy to begin with, in which case, triaging bugs doesn’t actually get you the quality control you’re looking for. You’d still be shipping something rickety. Anyways, I’ve digressed too far.

> I don't think they will stop if I ask them. So I guess I have to shoot

You are not saying "I would confront the thieves and bring a weapon in case I am attacked".

You are not even saying "I would use a weapon to threaten them into compliance".

You are saying you would shoot on sight. Instead of de-escalating, you would take the opportunity to ambush and kill. Can you see why some people might call that "hunting"?

I'm sorry you live in a world where the theft of a car part is a life-threatening event. I can see how vigilante justice would make a crazy sort of sense in that situation. However, in a stable society, those actions would be considered a serious crime.
Does MSFT make "real" money from Visual Studio? Compared to Azure it must be spare change?

It would be like a commercial property developer hamstringing their property development by selling shovels to builders.

I can understand why Shovel Product Managers might want to keep shovels profitable, and not a subsidized product, but why are MSFT execs on board?

Edit: This may be a Apples and Oranges comparison but Azure bought in 15 billion in Q3 2021, Unity (which is sort of partially a .NET IDE) bought in 273.6 million in Q2.
> Not everyone is young, healthy and rich enough to bike.

Bikes are orders of magnitude cheaper than a car. Both in terms of the infrastructure needed as well as the individual cost of bicycles. Good bicycle infrastructure also improves accessibility for those using mobility scooters, and a bicycle culture has hugely beneficial health benefits to individuals and society - not to mention the awful health effects of cars.
Me too. I feel like part of my identity depends on the things that I'm really good at. At the end of the day, I can safely tell myself I'm the best damn expert in my field and that's enough to give me peace of mind.
