NATO doesn’t have any obligation to “help” break down civilian protests by sending out paratroopers from one of its members to another member state so no it’s not similar.
Yeah, there is always a subjective factor involved in these interviews. You are just screwed if you meet an interviewer that doesn't like you personally for some reason and acts hostile.

Or maybe they are putting on an act to seem hostile to push your buttons.
When I was 23 I couldn't have fun without alcohol as well and I still think that it was the time of my life. It was endless stream of fun for sure without much responsibility, consequences and future planning.
So, have fun while you can.
I'm a lifelong teetotaler.

Back in college, I would go to house parties and bars and do everything that everyone else was doing; the only difference is that I would have a Coke in my hand instead of a Rum & Coke.

That was (mostly) fine for me, because I never felt the temptation to drink, and the fun I derived was from the social enjoyment, not from what I was drinking.

But I've had friends who struggled with alcohol addiction, and for them, it was much more beneficial to change their scenery and get away from the parties and bars and clubs where drinking was a big part of the experience. Sometimes you also need to distance yourself from friends where your friendship really only works because you both like drinking together.

Stuff that seemed to work:

* Some people found that they could replace the fun from alcohol with adrenaline rushes, so they did things like power sports, skydiving, roller coasters, etc. But of course, those tend to be expensive ways of having fun.

* Others cultivated hobbies and then looked for social experiences that aligned with those hobbies. One guy loved pinball so he joined a pinball club in his city. Another joined an adult sports league.

* One guy I know, who also struggled with drug addiction, decided go in a different direction. He felt like he didn't want to replace one addiction with another, so instead he was determined to rewire his brain so he wasn't constantly chasing the next high. He did meditation, mindfulness, self-help exercises, therapy, etc.

I had a summer job programming Java when it was still in beta.

I remember getting into an argument in the men's room of the basement of center Ithaca with two guys who were saying that Java was overhyped and I was saying "believe the hype"

That time I was right.

Java was one of the first programming languages to be specified by adults. (e.g. they didn't know how to specify PL/I and make it work, C worked by accident, ...) When researchers realized the memory model was broken the first instinct of the Java creators was "let's fix it" while other languages first made excuses and waited a decade + for a "fix"
I don't think there's anything wrong in general with charging people for something you provide. I support that part.

I just think it's good to be clear about your relationship with the thing you're advertising.
Java has always been tunable to be more aggressive at returning memory to the OS if you are worried about the resident memory size. Newer versions of Java with the more advanced GCs are even better at it.

Ultimately Java's runtime performance wasn't really to blame for it's lack of success but rather the awkwardness of JRE distribution, garbage applet sidetrack and lack of high quality GUI toolkits that actually felt native rather than attempting to do "platform independent look and feel".
I see you've never had to work on a project with other people who don't use the same formatter as you.
Nah, C# has a shitton of more features, some of them indeed making the day to day development more pleasant, while the other ones are known only by a handful of people, has strange interoperability with everything else or is superseded already by another one. It is really on the way to become as complex as C++ is.
In the economic sense, an individual's time is split between work and leisure. Leisure is defined as "time not spent working", so any reduction in working hours will increase your leisure hours. Leisure time can be spent doing anything someone desires (chores, exercise, watching tv, reading, hobbies, etc.), it has nothing to do with sleeping or lying in bed.

I remember back in maybe 82 my grandfather bringing home from work, which was a construction company mind you, some tractor-feed printouts of various art from cartoon to nudies. Some were rudimentary line art, multi page pinups, some were more like the libaa sort of semi-photographic. He brought a stack of them home once as kind of a "look at what those crazy guys in the office did on the computer".

A few years later, maybe '85, I remember coming across a zine on Usenet that had an ascii-art nudie that I had to stare at and convince myself contained spicy content, but honestly could have been anything. I think it came from an underexposed photo, and low contrast, dark source makes a nasty, and not in the good way, ascii-art.

It depends how hammered the group is getting. If everyone is pacing so they are only slightly buzzed, it can still be fun for a sober person. If people are drinking to be drunk, as they tend to do in early 20s, then the sober person will not have so much fun after a couple hours once everyone else is inebriated.

You're 23, it's not super uncommon for binge-drinking to be the center of your social world (at least in the US). I would not drop your friend group immediately, as others have suggested. Stop drinking to get trashed, and start drinking things that you enjoy the taste of. You might find that there is nothing you really like the taste of, in which case, you'll stop drinking. Personally, I enjoy a few beers in moderation. Also, cannabis.

My guide to having a sober life.

1) Focus on good conversations and not drinks (you can get high from a good talk)

2) Excercise! A lot!

3) Focus on the music and dancing and not the bar

4) If people pressure you to drink, day you will do later ( they will forget anyways) or say you the driver

5) Have a sober partner

6) celebrate each Sunday not hungover with sports, sex or what you enjoy

7) If you are drinking to go away from problems consult a therapist

8) Try microdosing if you need extra serotonin but no hangover (warning not a medical advice, experience needed and emotional health)

9) Listen to heart what brings you long-term joy

10) Focus on nutrition often people drink when they are hungry or you get upset because you are hungry after 7 h while everyone has beer
Yeah, then skip to the chapter on TDD where he lists the "laws" :/

I can see why you'd say that. It's not charitable thinking. I'm thinking it's part of a standard inclement weather plan. Everyone works as usual. If there's a tornado watch, employees don't come in to keep them from being caught in a tornado. Hold employees in approved safety area under a tornado warning (e.g. reinforced building, not open warehouse), because sending them home is a clear danger.

Every time I stumble on the codebase for DAI, I start crying with laughter.

For reference, DAI is a leading crypto stablecoin, holding 9.3 billion dollars worth of assets.

But the code philosophy believes that made up variable and method names force people to deeply understand the rest of the code, instead of taking shortcuts by just looking at a single method at a time. Also as, convention, all nouns are three letter words, unless they are plural, and verbs are four.

I've linked to the "vat" file, which contains methods "flux", "frob", "fork", "grab", "heal", "suck".

However, the system does contain careful documentation, including gems like the diagram on this page:

> Where's the modern equivalent? There isn't one. Insights at that level more or less stopped happening after the discovery of DNA and the creation of Shannon's Information Theory.

I think Machine Learning today is equivalent in magnitude to the other scientific breakthroughs you mentioned. I don't know if you're overlooking it because it's mainly engineering-led.
What actually happened? Is it so hard to give an overview of the situation near the start before jumping into the newest, most dramatic aspects?
I don't know. Better how? Bigger houses, fancier possessions, etc? Sure.

It seems there's less freedom, and less exploration by kids today. Everything is recorded and documented. It's too expensive or too dangerous for kids to go do stuff. If you make a mistake today, it will follow you forever - little chance to apologize and fix whatever broke (seems more people want to use full force of law to press charges or sue over minor issues even when the person wants to make it right).

I wasn't in the early 80s and didn't have complete free run, but the independence and responsibilities that came with it seem far better than the digital nightmare kids are living in these days. Just my opinion.
ThriftBooks as a seller on Amazon India was a nice way to pick up used books. International shipping makes non-Amazon purchases not very worthwhile.

There are two broad approaches imho; stop drinking completely OR reduce your consumption.

I'd recommend looking at ways to have social events where people can still drink but the focus of the event is something else. The long-term goal here is that eventually you can do this events where alcohol is optional and not required for a good time.

In this case I recommend board games. It something that worked for me without realizing it. I play games such as Settlers of Catan, Azul, D&D/AD&D, etc.

I think what I am suggesting is: find activities where alcohol is unnecessary or secondary - but not the purpose of the event.

One last point: I live in NYC and have been going more to Alamo Drafthouse to see more movies. They serve beer etc. so I have an option but I'm never inclined to have more than one.
I drank to drunkenness most nights throughout my 20s and early 30s, and then quit entirely. I wasn't really drinking to have fun. Mostly, I was drinking because it sort of made the tedium of hanging around with "friends" in bars a little more tolerable. But also, I was pretty angry and resentful, and harming myself by getting falling-down drunk relieved those feelings a little. If you have to drink to have fun, then what you're doing can't be that fun to begin with.
Board games are great, getting psyched about a good book, physical exercise hobbies too, anything that changes your environment and wakes you up.
My daughter is in this demographic and that's exactly why she buys things secondhand - her generation has really bought into the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle messaging. It allows for a guilt-free consumption culture.
I quit drinking once for three years. Usually, your friends will ask you in the beginning to just have one drink or to just drink moderately. After about a year of no drinking, most of your closest friends and family will stop asking you entirely; even better is they'll answer other people that maybe don't know you as well aka "he doesn't drink".

After that, for fun, I basically would go to all the same places, bars, parties etc with the same friends and I'd just drink water; they'd be drinking booze. That's what I did for three years.

After about three years, I traveled abroad and I wanted to take in the full experience so I started drinking again.

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to stop drinking for a bit; it's a fun experiment.
>don't mind the naysayers

Noting they are operating at a slight loss, during a period where they want to drive growth, isn't "naysaying". The question is whether the current pricing is tied at all to the "operating at a slight loss". He replied to say it mostly wasn't.

I can understand. It almost killed me trying to read the whole damned book.
I do RLE for my interview question, so I've considered it a lot.

Either way works ok. If you're doing RLE at the bit level, you only need counts and not values, but that's obscure.

If you do count first, you can use a zero count to indicate a run of single repeats. There are many other ways to do that, though.

I've never seen anyone come up with an encoding that was ambiguous to decode. Of course, there's usually many ways to encode something.
Sometimes “having fun” can be too much fun. People with mood disorders, f.e. bipolar sometimes miss the manic state after treatment stabilizes their mood. Be careful with expectations of fun.
This is a silly question, because it’s obvious to you and everyone that it’s easy to list infinite things that might be fun.

The question is really how to exist in that environment in a healthy way.

Most straightforward path is make new friends and take on responsibility that precludes tons of drinking.

If you yourself have become dependent on alcohol (ie if your body is physically uncomfortable unless you have a buzz) then you should nip that in the bud. As you get older and grow up you’ll see more of your peers make lifestyle decisions they find helpful.

A wholesome activity loved by many are board games. People will drink there, but getting drunk isn’t the point in the way it is when you’re partying or going to bars.

#1 advice assuming you’re not already wealthy is to get rich. The time component of compounding market gains is so powerful it is really critical to understand and exploit from when you’re young.

Typically drinking a lot will make it a lot harder to put the thought and work in to do more than coast.

If you can get obsessed with reaching financial independence, it’s the most rewarding “hobby” to master, and it will inject itself as an enjoyable priority into many aspects of your life.
It actually failed at what Bill Gates feared it would to: it is pervasive, but not a competition to Windows and the Windows GUI stack. Smartcards were never MS's target market, and nobody was yet thinking about smartphones.
I think what they were trying to say is that, to the kind of mind capable of being as ruthless in getting to the top as Gates was, the biggest anxiety they would have after making it to the top is that someone will come and take it from them.
I think hypothes.is is doing fine.
> Hmm, we need to tell every Central Bank in the world that the gold bars they're holding aren't money.

Sorry, gold is not money. You do know that right? It's a commodity. I think you and I talked about this - recently. Money is:

a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively.

And of course our money is fiat which is:

inconvertible paper money made legal tender by a government decree.
Yeah. I feel like the media doesn't realize it, but their spell is completely broken for many people. I'm now hyper-aware of all the disingenuous arguments and lies they put out. I guess this is what happens when you staff your newsroom with only young college leftists and allow them to bully the sane people out.
> "Entering the conversation just to let everyone know you don't care is tiresome and gratuitous."

No one broadly commenting on the "... written in Rust!" meme is saying that they "don't care". They are saying that they DO care. About the clout-chasing aspect, going unchallenged, clogging up a generally high-quality forum with what amounts to spam or clickbait.

If you get a lot of spam in your email inbox, you would take a dim view toward the pompous admonition, "If you are are not interested in homeopathic erectile dysfunction pills, then you are free to scroll onward and leave it to those who are". In the case of a message you DO happen to be interested in, you would still right to discourage the use of clickbait tactics or dark patterns with that message.

BOTTOM LINE: Either the topic of this this post is "Tauri", or the topic of this post is "Rust".

* If the topic is Tauri, then the clickbait meme detracts from the topic (I note with interest that the Tauri project itself does NOT promote itself on the basis of its implementation language).

* If the topic of this post is Rust, then well... I honestly think you'd be better served promoting a single "Look at all of these 'serious' projects written in Rust!" post, rather than sidejacking a myriad of topics individually in a clickbaity manner.

Either way, if you don't care about the spam/clickbait criticisms that always arise in these threads, then I invite you to leave that discussion to those who are interested.
Not just the models, Kicad uses Open Cascade for dealing with STEP files and probably some other things.

If you want a simple CAD tool for designing 3D part packages, I can recommend Solvespace. A lot of people find it easier than FreeCAD for smaller designs - like electronic components:

https://solvespace.com/index.pl

It can create step files for KiCAD, but can not read them. Some day I'd like to bring the step reader from gcad3d (or other) onboard so we can at least link them into assemblies. That'd be a huge integration project, but it's way smaller than OCCT.

Nope, I just use this account when I talk about Bitcoin. I don't walk down the street advertising how much money I have in my pockets; likewise, I keep the fact that I own Bitcoin private.
I think you're skipping over his actual question:

"How do you have fun without alcohol?"
No, no, no. There's a low risk. The risk is not "zero".
Any 12 step program will likely also emphasize support from friends and family.

Cutting ties doesn't have to be all or nothing, and it doesn't have to be everyone in that group. If you and a friend are both serious about quitting alcohol, they might be your best ally in quitting.
I'm not a fan of NATO, but usually they are a bit more subtle than inviting each other to quell each other's rebellions.
Yeah like Bitcoin. :-)
I mean apart from the fact it doesn't know where anything is sure.
All are alcoholic?

Either that's extremely bad or they just really like to have a drink and you're not a fan of drinking.

From the UK that sounds like normal hanging out with people who have been able to drink for 2 years, it's still novel and they will probably do it a lot for the next few years.
I'm 34, I used alcohol for "fun" from 19 to 29. Ended up quitting because of mental health issues. I went through a rough year after quitting, lost most of the friends I had, and started over. Now, all of my friends do other things for fun: hiking, kite surfing, traveling, dancing, biking, kayaking, paragliding... to be honest, a night out drinking sounds boring as hell to me.

My advice: quit drinking, deal with the boredom for awhile, find new friends, and do it sooner rather than later, there's a lot of fun out in the world that you're missing out on by just drinking all the time.

Also, I now suffer from permanent health issues due to my past drinking. I only drank socially, and I quit at 29! Don't believe the myth that alcohol isn't harmful. That's a recipe for having less fun in the future.
... which Central Bank refers to their gold assets as "money"?
viginti_tres, your experience is ubiquitous. I am the exact same age and have noticed a similar pattern for everyone my age. I am sure a lot of people are well intentioned but these simple solutions of finding new friends is just not that simple. Alcohol is extremely prevalent in the US. People are self medicating and using it as a form of escapism.

One thing I have anecdotally noticed is there are some parts of the US that are much more oriented towards drinking than others, such as NYC.
Trustless asset transfers are a real problem though. Being able to settle a transfer without an intermediary is a huge advancement.
I was an alcoholic for the better part of 10 years. I'm 36. I ended up in hospital last year from having considerably too much "fun" with alcohol for that long, I assure you it was no fun at all. I've been sober for 6 months now, and I don't intend to go back to drinking.

The most important thing for me in finding "fun" again and filling that void, was to come to terms with why I drank, and that was to be a "different person", for me anyways.

Except I am that person, I just found it difficult to live, and alcohol helped ease that, made me feel confident, etc. Now that I don't drink I see it for what it is. I can indeed be that person without booze, I just need to learn more about... I guess who I am, and how to "channel" that person, the first step in that was stopping drinking, you literally cannot do that self discover otherwise. On the other fronts, after I stopped I continued to go out and hang out with drunk people (not popular advice, however it was important to me to prove to myself I had that control) - discovered 2 things: drunk people are pretty annoying, it's kinda in a way more fun watching everyone else when they're drunk. I don't really talk about it when I go out, I just go out, order diet cokes, and no one really notices or cares. However, going out in that setting is pretty infrequent now, once a month at best. The rest of the time I've spent working on me, reading a lot, learning new things, it's easy to burn 3 hours on the DW docs youtube. I also work on my relationships with others now, and I find more time to volunteer and do things for my community, it's a lot of fun! I feel an urge to drink near every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, if I walk by a wine store the feeling I get is hard to describe, spending time thinking about what the reward you're going to get, and then applying that to something else, helped me immensely find new fun things to do.

Do I miss going out and getting drunk with my friends who regularly go out and get drunk: sometimes.

Has it been difficult finding new friends, especially later in life: yes.

Do I have fun and enjoy life more without alcohol: absolutely.
