If (say) you're starving to death in Donner Pass, then go ahead. Similar for drinking your urine - if at sea in lifeboat and dying for lack of non-salty water. Otherwise, violations of "eww, ick" social standards tend to be punished harshly.

It seemed really weird for a few years, when conspicuously talking to yourself went from being a "this person has a serious mental illness" indicator, to being a "this person has a cell phone" indicator.
> Disney doesn't own the rights to Pinocchio. [...] Carlo Collodi was dead by 1890 so Disney definitely didn't "swoop in" and benefit at his or his descendent's expense.

This illustrates (IMO, the evils of over-long) current copyright terms rather perfectly: Disney didn't swoop in and benefit at Collodi's or his descendent's expense under the copyright rules of the time. Had current -- heavily Disney-influenced, so presumably supported and wished-for by Disney -- terms been in force then, this would have been a case of Disney swooping in and benefitting at Collodi's or his descendent's expense. Dunno what exactly this means... Besides Disney possibly being quite hypocritical.

And yes, most of Disney's older great hits about princesses and princes (Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella...) are based on German folk tales collected by the brothers Grimm and first published in 1812.
> The restaurant owners are in the same predicament as their workers. If it's not worth pursuing for your time and money, then pursue something else more worthwhile. Adjust or die.

Oh I (and my family members) agree, they're trying to sell the businesses.

Typically small time businesses like this are highly tied with personal finances. You can't just "close up shop" when you have a $50k loan and no job lined up.

Again, it's more complex than people recognize. For instance, you can raise your prices (and my family has), but they have to compete with other chain restaurants. So they can't raise prices too much faster than the competition.
+1. My father drilled this into our heads. He's been known to exaggerate, but always told us a story of when he worked for the Highway Dept, below zero weather, and his truck broke down in the middle of nowhere. Claims he would have died if a cop hadn't just happened along at the right time.

True or not, when I lived in the midwest, I -always- kept a huge blanket in my vehicle.
From the article:

> It makes leaders feel in control and informed. They know exactly what was done and when it was completed.

> I’m not against management being informed…

So seems like there is a little bit of passive aggressive pushback here about having to keep managers updated and in the loop about progressive towards goals.
> ...your theory fails to explain what happened to the states where there was little to no interference

Which ones would those be? If you could name a couple, I'd be willing to research and point out interference in the past 2 generations, if any.
Caltrain in the SF Bay peninsula is basically that and people do cope with it and manage to lead happy, fulfilling lives.
> I think it is unquestionable that code-reviews catch bugs.

Yes, it does catch some, but does it catch more than no code review? There is no point in catching bugs if it also creates bugs to catch.
Totally agree, I do this as well, and actually quite often. I've written down ideas I've heard people talking about during their lunch break at Panera Bread and researched it later. I've even stopped someone and asked them about an issue that I overheard them talking about in line.

I also agree that it is sometimes easier/better to improve on something that is already in the market that has proven need but just isn't hitting the mark totally. Though this can be hard cause sometimes there are really valid reasons it isn't hitting the mark and moving people off a platform can be hard even if it is flawed. Also another challenge here is you may have to hit feature parity before people are willing to try your new solution, which can take a lot more time and effort, but not always.
I don't see how that disagrees with what I said. To increase wages significantly doesn't mean increasing prices significantly - that was my entire point.
Where is the scientific proof that this isolated weather event is climate change?

Just like you cannot claim that one day of bad weather refutes global warming you also cannot claim that an isolated event is climate change. It takes time to prove that.

Getting tired of everyone spouting off about climate change every time bad weather occurs. It's just as anti-science as denial.
> you used to be able to trick the sensors by pushing the recovery hood back with one hand before pulling the valve trigger with the other. This might even be an intentional bypass for filling containers?

Good tip, I actually asked a couple of gas station attendants and they had no idea how to get around it. I'll give it a shot with one of the cans I wasn't able to fill.
But the complaint is that people are selling the rights to pictures via NFTs that they don't have the rights to sell in the first place, isn't it?

So the analogy would be that some third party took a copy of your photograph of the building and sold the rights to it despite them not having the ability to do so?
Its certainly a legal way to spy on many users and businesses to extract secrets thats for sure!
The major issue is that VA, for whatever reason, does not have plows and trucks to put them on (unlike say NYC that puts them on the garbage trucks when needed) - at least in numbers necessary to keep the highway relatively passable in the first place. As others have said, (relatively) heavy wet snow storms in VA/MA are not once in a century type events, more like every three to five years. Paying the consequences for failing to pay to be prepared.

The secondary issue is the stupidity of semi-drivers to have tried to keep driving in the storm. It wasn't like there was no warning at all. Reports I have read indicate disabled trucks are the largest impediment to getting things going again.
No, not everyone I like passes my purity test, you're right. I try not to judge them too much for it, they have their reasons (largely economical), and it's their call. I wouldn't do it, but I don't condemn them for it either – and I never said that I would. I merely stated my own stance on this, which is, as you say, cheap to have since I'm in a stable situation and the IT job market is abundant of well-paying jobs.

I see the point that you're getting at, and there's surely the line to be drawn here, and I think it's a question of scale – and the line is placed differently for each individual. I don't have absolutist views on this, and I probably wouldn't feel bad either, as a public defender in the example you bring up. I'd say public defenders are in the clear even if their state-employer also does bad things – since at least some of the things that they do are good and need to be done, like keeping people safe. I wouldn't say the same about Norton since they're one of many and if they went down tomorrow nothing much would really happen.

I don't think it's comparable to the IT industry though. Companies hugely care about their image, and poking holes in that image is an effective – or at least available – way to put pressure on them. Consider how much effort they're making to recruit people, and how heavily they rely on friends recommending their friends. "Your employees will leave and they'll discourage their friends from working with you" will work much better on a tech company than it would on a state that doesn't really compete with anyone else when it comes to public defense.

One's own conscience work similarly in this case. There's a long way to go from "I directly boost profits of a ruthless, replacable corporation" to the "I criticize the society and yet I participate in it" meme.

> Thing is, people will pay $20 for a good sandwich.

Really? Where is that?

I live around Paris -- a city where the cost of living isn't considered low by world standards. Here the normal price for an excellent sandwich made of fresh bread (1/2 baguette), chicken or beef, lettuce, tomato and sauce is around €4.5; if it's just ham and cheese, and the same wonderful bread, the cost is €4.

I consider that expensive because I can make a meal at home for less than €2 (the cost can even go down to 0 if I just eat the leftovers from yesterday's dinner).

I don't think I'd ever pay $20 for a sandwich of any quality.

Me too.

Desktop "progress" is now sadly now mostly done by Microsoft (geriatric at best) and Apple (mostly just implementing the new graphical design whims every year).
It doesn't just make your computer slow, which is bad enough, it's actively stealing your electricity and converting it into their money. How can that possibly be justified?
I agree. If your customers won’t pay your new, increased prices, then you or one of your competitors goes out of business. The competitive set consolidated and trims the day until prices can come down to a point where consumers will pay.

The problem is that the bulk of businesses have grown fat and lazy on the good times that have lasted seemingly forever. It’s time for a reset. This time we won’t be able to be bailed out - interest rates are already rock bottom and inflation is at a 30 year high. We are in for massive upheaval.
> In a lot of new homes where I live the kitchens are one of the places the builders spend money.

Regular people generally can't afford new homes. Working class professionals usually get shoved into apartments (usually small ones) with small kitchens in 5+1 buildings or renovated industrial buildings.

Stuff like this is pretty common - https://images1.apartments.com/i2/5Wguguo1YZBzaUo30bfX2jUIY6... or this one https://images1.apartments.com/i2/PuDTEuad8QYuGVJfUJAbGHCZIS...

It's not impossible to cook here, of course. But it's designed around the idea that most of your big meals will be "out" somewhere else.
I had pretty terrible problems that were more or less solved with a split keyboard (the ultimate hacking keyboard, with palm rests), allowing my wrists to rest in a more natural angle.

I guess it depends on what is the exact source of your pain though. For me, it was always pretty clear that the stained angle on a normal keyboard was the problem)
Look into Graham Hancock, he writes a lot about possible lost civilizations. He gets lots of hate and I have no idea if any of it is true, but super fun to read.
I don't trust either country's numbers but China less so. For all we know China is just ignoring cases since 99% are mild.
Hehe, as part of an onsite test I did back when I was doing Devs recruiting was to ask them to estimate how much would it take for them to finish the remaining part of the test (a 10 point programming challenge where they would usually finish 5 or 6 of the points; and each point was to implement certain aspect).

You could see someone was junior, when, after implementing 6 points in the 3 hour allocated, they say they would finish the remaining tasks in 1 or 2 hours. The people that were more senior, took a bit more of time to think about their estimates, given the knowledge they had gained during the past 3 hours, and usually they will give a 4 to 5 hour estimate.

The dangerous thing about inexperienced people doing estimates is that they have no idea of basis on where to do estimates from.
This reminds me of the old eBay scam where the listing would be worded in such a way as not to actually say that you got more than the picture of whatever was listed, but people bought it as their expectation was inherently different and they assumed the sale to be for the actual product.
As I said in another comment, tolerance just means a higher dose each day. It would probably be hard to do with mushrooms for any serious dose, but with LSD it would work.

The point isn't that taking drugs on festivals is abuse, but rather that on festivals I've met people who've been taking psychedelic drugs on a weekly basis for years and their perception of reality is so twisted you have to wonder if they will ever "come back". They are willing participants in all of that, but I have to wonder if its healthy or morally sound to wave them off on their trip with no return.

>So in the end, given the society view to alcohol and its comparable effects, psilocybin should absolutely be decriminalized and promoted as medicine for use, especially with therapy.

Disagree, decriminalisation is not enough, all drugs should be legal.

But that is completely beside the point of our topic of danger.
I'd estimate the majority of what I teach my son is cultural norms.

"No, there's no good reason you have to do it this way, but you do."

I don't actually say that to him (he's 3), but I say it to myself a lot.
And the "Don't pick my nose, either" isn't a joke, that's verbatim.
Pretty weak IMO.

1. The whole thing is intended to refute an idea that is not widespread nor of any particular importance (a few fluffy quotes from critic reviews don't make a zeitgeist)

2. The smoking gun evidence of plotting changes between 1 and 2 is weak.

3. Even if they did change the plot between 1 and 2 that wouldn't prove they didn't have a plan going on. Sometimes things change, and "master plans" are not etched in stone
He was not, but the usage of the quote in this context implies some relevance to mathematical averaging and it's flaws. If the reasoning is not sound, neither is the usefulness in this context.
Aside from how much easier it is to identify whether a component supports QUERY than which forms of GET it supports, GET and QUERY (like PUT and DELETE) have similar guarantees have different meaning and are sometimes (but not always) useful against the same resource for different purposes. OPTIONS lets you tell the availability of that of they are different methods, but not if one is GET w/o body and the other is GET w/body.
I suppose it all depends on how you measure "progress"? If I run a stand up meeting and you tell me that you found out that the problem you're working on is more complex than it looked, and that you didn't write a line of code yet while still exploring it, I will still consider that progress.
> Then you tune out as everyone else goes in their turn giving updates on something that doesn't affect what you're doing in any way whatsoever.

Need smaller teams so that the people in your stand ups are actually collaborating on the same project.

If the things people on your team are doing are not relevant to you, you're not a team in any real sense.
> they're shipping a Safari web extension that you can turn on, which gives you about the same behavior as in a desktop browser

I'm sorry, but this is not accurate. The extension they're shipping is intentionally crippled unless you pay the monthly ransom and give Agile Bits sole control over your passwords.

We had a recent RAV4 and the radar cruise was quite good, but the lane keeping was tragically bad and we turned it off very quickly.

But it's activity somewhere other than where part of the road was built.

Take DC and NoVA, typical large suburb next to a large city. If DC wants to increase economic activity, does it want to invest in a new bridge that allows more people to live in NoVA (where most of their retail/commercial activity will occur)? Or, would DC be better off spending that money on redeveloping run-down neighborhoods and adding some light rail (or other transit improvements)?
Aren’t these interactions put in place to create transparency across the team regarding progress and purpose as well as empirical validation? I am not sure how that necessarily clashes with social structures inside the Scrum Team or micro manages its members.
I loved them as a kid but they lost everything when they became fraudsters. Instead of being interesting journalists they wanted to become Great Scientists without the brains for it.

I found this a fascinating read. Below that section is a list of technological developments.
Sorry, are you saying that it's possible that code reviews cause more bugs than they solve?

That's absurd...
Another angle is that in software development, it's pretty common to have days where there isn't much material progress but things are getting better understood by the developer themselves. Senior engineers in my experience are quite comfortable doing several days or even weeks of scoping, investigating, prototyping, and general maneuvering before coming to a solution that ends up taking a day or less.

The constant need to interject with help when "no progress" flags are thrown gets into the realm of micromanagement, and that is doubly so when every day or even hour of "no progress" gets treated as a crisis that needs to be solved ASAP.

Scrum fosters an environment of "no breathing room" for these frequent and common stretches of "no progress".

Only people who don’t work in the film industry would ever think Matrix was conceived as a trilogy from the start and the plan was never changed/altered.

That literally never happens, it’s never happened that I aware of, unless the work is an adaptation.
Unfortunately watching an increasing number of TV programs is like watching/listening to someone talking whilst on drugs, they jump around all over the place, I'm sure its creating ADHD in me as a result.
That is nor necessarily the case. Embedded is a big user, but there are other reasons to use no_std, such as explicitly wanting to avoid heap allocations, or wanting greater control over the native APIs being called.
It's the normal progression of civilizations. When one gets too rusty, it dies to lets its small and better offspring live: those people start from scratch, but they retain knowledge and rebuild all bells and whistles very quickly. We are the fifth. America will be home for the sixth and then, in a thousand years, it will become a history too. This is what Revelation 17:10 talks about, but in a more poetical form.
What'll really bake your noodle is the fact that we most likely couldn't tell if there was a pre-human civilization on earth, even around industrial levels. What we have now will easily last a thousand years - but not a thousand thousands years.

And my favorite hypothesis: Antarctica. If there ever was a species which flourished there, it's a lot harder for them to colonize the rest of the world than it is for us to visit Antarctica. Clothes you can just wear, and heating is pretty straightforward - but having to venture in a place where portable aircon failure means death will pretty much guarantee you don't build a lot far from home. Which puts a pretty high limit on how far a civilization could have gotten there and still have all traces hidden in the ice.

> Clearly "improve roads" vs. "improve public transit"...

You: Cars are never a solution because they can't go faster than 15 MPH. You really need horses for this.

Me: Cars can go faster than 15 MPH in many cases. Horses can't be used to transport industrial boilers and such.

You: Clearly you missed the part about the horses.

> No one suggested that we should just remove all semi-trucks and replace them with buses.

You have a two lane road that needs to be a four lane road to handle the amount of traffic it would have without congestion.

If more than half of the traffic that would occur without congestion is trucks, you physically cannot relieve the congestion with mass transit, because relieving the congestion would require removing more than 100% of the non-truck traffic.

> Moving more traffic to rail lines or buses can actually help semi-trucks as well, by freeing up road capacity for things that actually need it.

This the other stupidity with induced demand. It's not induced, it's suppressed by congestion, which means that any alternative means of relieving the congestion will also restore the demand.

Suppose you actually built mass transit and removed the equivalent of one lane worth of traffic from the road. Now you still need to add the other lane because the reduction in traffic congestion restored demand for the road and offset what was removed by the improved mass transit.
> She insisted it be a GET until I showed real, existing client queries that couldn't be handled... Same PM also insisted I send results of queries as a list of objects in JSON, instead of a more compact tabular format, because tables aren't REST-y.

I think I'm on the side of the PM with this one on both counts. You sound like someone who really cares about efficiency, performance, and edge cases -- a proper engineer. But PMs are supposed to bring us down to earth and say that simplicity and maintainability are more important than saving bytes and to not waste time fixing things that aren't broken.

In a past life I spent so much effort optimizing our stack to lower our AWS bill until a PM sat me down with the company's finances and showed me the teeeeny little bar that was our cloud expenses and then legitimately 20x taller bar that was salaries and basically said that spending money to buy back my or my team's time was more important.

I imagine they're not propping it up with a piece of wood in a service center. Hard to tell from the video, but it's possible that it has some kind of a service position like older Mercedes-Benzes (it's been around since at least the 80s from what I know).

Am a Canadian myself. Lived in the US for 6 months last year, but am back living in Canada since June 2021. I will agree that the Canadian labour market is utterly $^%$ed right now, and it is entirely due to the way our government has handled this situation.

The government of Canada gave money to anyone who (1) was over the age of 15, (2) made more than $5000 in the year prior to the pandemic and (3) lost at least 50% of their wages.

CERB was $2000/4 weeks * 6 periods,
CRB was $900/2 weeks for up to 54 weeks

So do the math ... you're a 18 year old student that made $5000 the year before the pandemic. The government potentially has paid you upwards of $30,000 to stay home over the past year and a half. You could go back to a $15/hours job (that's Ontario's minimum wage), but you have more money in the bank than you ever thought you would at this point.

It's not the older, "full time" worker staying home. It's that none of the students feel the need to work anymore.

And it's not just restaurants. I went to a very large, major chain, grocery store last night at 7pm. Half of the shelves were empty and they had ONE self checkout open (with a line of customers). No staff there either ...
