It's not really about "women". It's about finding a partner in life that shares some of your same outlook, goals, passions, desires, etc. In some "small" places there simply is less opportunity (the denominator) to meet folks that share those things with you. The bigger the population of your area, the more chance one will come across that match. If a person tends toward a rural way of life, they likely will find that partner in rural areas, if not, not.
Why “was”? Seems like everything you mentioned is still true. It’s the whole point of the post.
Sorry, not sure what you mean by "private package"?
Downside of to-do lists

1. You spend too much time optimizing your to-do list.
2. You realize you are spending too much time optimizing your to-do list and you give up in frustration because you feel like you don't get your actual work done.

With a text file, it's a free for all, you don't feel obligated to keep it clean, when you have to make a note you just "do it".

It isn't dwm "port", rather it's an independent window manager with some inspiration from dwm but also from other places. Notably it doesn't share the minimalist design philosophy, it's designed with a powerful configuration and interaction api rather than relying on patches.

dwl[0] is closer to a port, it's explicitly trying to work the same as dwm for wayland with the same philosophy, although it's still an independent project written from scratch.

Mainland pipeline gets cut off the moment Poland decides to do anything, like in Georgia 2008 when Polish president mobilized 'presidents of Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine and the prime minister of Latvia' to organize poblic manifestation of support in Tbilisi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War#Internation... He famously overrode his own staff to fly over an active war zone to get there. There is even a conspiracy theory about his death in a plane crash over Russia two years later being a retaliation.

Nordstreams connecting Russia directly with Germany means Germans not only wont do anything, they will actively torpedo any support initiatives in the name of "stability".
I would not lie. Neither would I try to convince my boss. Wanting to move is your reason, it's irrelevant if he understands your motives.

Instead, I'd talk to my boss and tell him that I love the job, the work, coworkers, whatever and I could see myself happily working here in the future. Just one problem, I want to live somewhere else. What can we do to make remote work happen for me as soon as possible?
Not to excuse this, but this has to be coming from a clueless copywriter and just never got reviewed by anyone who actually knows what it means. All they're trying to say is that they have an API so you can build integrations yourself if they don't have what you need off the shelf.

No one who understood both marketing and engineering would ever approve something like this because it wouldn't actually lead to any sales, and if by some crazy chance a buyer naively did purchase based on such a premise it would be a colossal shit-storm once they found out and they'd have to nullify the contract.
Sure, it’s easy to not be shocked by something you’ve heard before, but there are plenty of people who haven’t heard plenty of things before (cf. “today’s lucky 10,000”), so many people must still be regularly encountering ideas that seem heretical to them.
If the comment gave any actual reasoning, it wouldn't be open to that criticism, but as it is, it's empty hype which deserves all the criticism it gets.

I’ll just come out and say it— I don’t think “heresy” is an interesting or useful concept today. I think it’s mostly useful in historical context. Why do I say that?

Because we don’t _need_ the type of strongly held beliefs, or mythology, that we had in the past: we have science to guide us through what we know we know and what we know we don’t know. Sure, in practice people will believe all sorts of ridiculous things, but the separation of church and state went a long way towards making the concept less useful.
If spacetime is continuous you effectively get infinite precision -> information density - at every point (of which there are an infinite number).

This seems unlikely for a number of reasons.

This doesn't mean spacetime is a nice even grid, but it does suggest it comes in discrete lumps of something, even if that something is actually some kind of substrate that holds the information which defines relationships between lumps.

Very true! Also another omission was "finger" - although I guess that isn't used so often these days..
I’m sure that no moral hazards emerge out of that arrangement.
"We don't know, therefore my preferred theory is true" is just the argument from ignorance fallacy.

Plus, of course, "UFO" is a badly-defined term: It either means an unidentified flying object, or it means a spacecraft piloted by extraterrestrial beings, and that poisons the whole discussion around them. There's nothing you can talk about in regards to UFOs as long as people refuse to agree to a single basic definition.
We can't stop here, we also need initiatives to promote open source.
Yep, they're great. I prefer IPFS without the incentive layer of filecoin, but it is interesting to be able to incentivize storage in protocol, and there's obvious use cases. Plenty of people pay google drive or Dropbox for extra storage. Democratizing access to the demand and supply side of that market is pretty cool.

There was a project called Golem aiming to do the same thing with compute, it was pretty cool last time I read about it. Not sure how far along it is, and I'm sure there are other projects aiming to do the same thing.

Is email really comparable ? The todo examples quoted were self assigned tasks, emails are usually things you need to do for other people. I can get on board with the email task management, creating personal to-do lists is just not my style.
TODO lists are the cornerstone of my ability to get practically any task that can't be done immediately and finished today done at some point.

But it's important to ensure those lists are kept somewhere visible at the start of the day. Also constant updating, rewriting, and reprioritizing I find are key to their effectiveness.

You sound like you're using the word "rationalist" in a way which is at odds with the usual meaning of the term. How do you define it, and why do you define it that way?
But why wouldn't ballot handlers swap out paper votes, etc.? You can rig anything with improper safeguards.
It used to be the case until the 1980's, whereupon there was a deliberate shift away from quantifying the value of a role and towards quantifying the value of a candidate. Somewhat counterintuitively, this was a deliberate measure to reduce exposure to discrimination lawsuits. The reasoning was that you could always argue that candidates were unequal in their experience/competence/etc., hence the observed wage differences within a single role. To be clear, there are upsides to this arrangement as well, namely: the ability to negotiate one's salary.
That was a mightily insightful comment, and one I wasn’t expecting. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Side note: I found the Rasmus analogy particularly relatable. I’ve been building in PHP for a little over 20 years now, and despite all the hate it gets around these parts, I remain a fan.
>(don't start the "they make more revenue than their salaries" thing. Government is not a business)

Governments may not be, but universities most definitely are. Unless/until we move over to a system of 100% tax-funded universities sports teams are an important source of revenue for them.
Agree with the article - the take presented in the first articles are a joke right?

They remind of the mind numbingly arrogant articles about UHNWI's that didn't have smartphones from a while back - well duh, they didn't because they had several servants that fixed their calendar, printed things, arranged meetings etc.

Same with the "no tech" Silicon Valley trend that's an incredible privilege not applicable to 99% of regular people.

You need a place to mentally park various things you need to do, ie. a todo list in todays complicated and advanced society - pay this bill, buy this thing, call this person etc.

Complexity falls with privilege.

You can't simply remember them unless living a very simple life.
Maybe some very rich person can have a PA, live in the woods, or the hermit geniuses of 200 years ago worked very differently on paper and in notebooks, but today a simple todo list is absolutely needed unless living alone and with very, very few responsibilities.

I don't know anyone, like at all that doesn't have some kind of todo list, ranging from a simple unsorted list, to multiple lists to post it notes in your apartment.
How do people learn how to do anything related to coding on their own
This may seme like a vague question, but how do people figure out anything related to computer science, such as coding or command line, on their own. It's just so unbelievably hard doing the simplest of things. I get tons of error messages or nothing works, even with following a tutorial exactly. The problem is not following the instructions, it is that when you follow the instructions it still does not work. This happens so often. The problem is made worse by unique system setting, having a different versions of windows, etc. How do people actually learn this or get things done? How is anything done when the guides are so infective? At the pace things are going, I cannot imagine ever actually doing anything useful.
Well, here's a thought. Maybe they cost so much because everyone has to start from scratch because they're not allowed to leverage existing tech and research because of patents.
Nowadays, I keep my TODOs in the codebase, it's pretty easy to browse through code to find what isn't implemented yet, also it became really popular lately and a lot of plugins for better management appeared.

For real life TODOs, I use a simple cli to keep them in a database that I share via Google Drive with my phone.
I don’t think the U.S. gives a honest fuck about Ukraine per se. If Russia has a free ticket to invade Ukraine that establishes casus belli to invade pretty much all other former soviet states. Plus, Russia itself is drumming it up to get US attention. They want NATO to scale down. They want US assets to be outside its “sphere of influence”. They know pretty well that the west doesn’t have any appetite for a war with Russia at the moment. The threat of invasion is a mere bargaining chip to get its demands.

I think we do need heresy if you look at science as a belief system. In that case, anti-scientific views would fairly be called heretical to science, right?
I guess we'll know in about a week, when the deadline expires which Putin's sock-puppet Lavrov has set.

And the 100.000 troops stationed near Ukraine are almost a dozen times the number claimed in the article.

I do feel a certain remorse since we've forsaken on our promise not to expand NATO towards the Russian border and have continually tried to undermine Russia's nuclear deterrent with our BMD system. I also fear there's a certain amount of disinterest in the U.S. government towards the sensitivities involved. The U.S. doesn't see Russia as an equal, even though it's the only nation that can completely wipe the it off the map, which brings with it a certain degree of resentment.
It seems to be that for the blockchain to have an understanding of the real world it needs an oracle. That oracle can be made of many different actors each staking some funds and the "correct" value is determined by the value with the most funds staked against it. This still doesn't prevent coercion of a large majority or just a very rich whale betting on achieving what is essentially a 51% attack on the network.

> many contracts may operate simultaneously, and some even over shared claims in market disputes

Potentially - I don't disagree that the tech can technically do this, but ultimately it's still down to 1) people choosing to use it (as opposed to traditional contracts enforced by judges & subsequent law enforcement personnel) and 2) that whatever outcome reached by the blockchain can successfully be enforced in the real world - you'd need a government with jurisdiction upon the disputed assets to recognize the blockchain's outcome as legitimate and enforce it. People are unlikely to do "1" if they're not confident that "2" will happen especially if the problem can be solved by existing legal contracts who unlike blockchain-based solutions have a track record of being enforced.

Ultimately I don't think we'll ever reach an agreement here so I think the best course of action is that we stick to our opinions and either of us can tell the other one "told you so" in a decade as we see how the situation evolved.
Cal Newport and Shane Parrish, in a discussion on the Knowledge Project podcast, talked unfavorably about to-do lists. They favored scheduling time to perform the needed tasks in a daily calendar.

I tried that calendaring system a few times. It did not work for me. To-do lists are easy, comfortable, familiar. They may not work for millionaires. They work for me.

These two ideas seem inline with each other?

Antiwork on reddit seems like slacktivism and whining about work on the internet, wouldn't give it much attention. People have been hating work forever. reddit is good at making vocal mintorites seem louder then they really are. those posts are getting 10s of thousands of upvotes, small in the grand scheme of things.
Wow, the first article is just awful.

He's not even saying that to-do lists don't help. He's saying that if they do help you, you're broken.

Congratulations on having never forgotten something important, I guess? I apologize for being a mere mortal who gets distracted and forgets things sometimes.
I have always interpreted bones/ghosts as using previous runs as an additional source of level-generation data, rather than a progression mechanic. In the game, it is realistic that other adventurers would have attempted what you are attempting (and died trying). The game could fill in this assumption by randomly generating ghosts and loot, but real-world data is more interesting and nuanced. For example, one of my favorite components of the nethack bones system is seeing the cause of death of the ghosts I run into. Again, 'cause of death' could be reproduced with some random generation, but it wouldn't be as good.

Anyway, I only play nethack on public servers or using the nethack hearse tool, so I don't 'progress' by using my own bones files. Maybe if you play purely locally, you can view your own bones files as a form of progression.
The opportunity cost is a big deal, and will gnaw at you the longer you're bootstrapping (+ consulting, which is typical) without making up the difference with sale of the company or an even bigger salary.
ORMs are deceptively difficult. You need a slight understanding of the underlying joins. Also, the syntax keeps changing (at least between Rails versions). But I think that if you teach engineers some tactics to use them, they are overall better than trying to cobble together SQL strings (or at best using some SQL-hiding DSL like Arel).

"Maybe I will never get as good an opportunity" is not a good attitude for life. I've stressed that way about every major life or career move I've made, and in hindsight I've always wished I had made the move sooner.

Just be honest with your boss and then take the plunge.
How do you figure that deurbanization in India is related to something happening in Western Europe? Back then trade was for valuables and valuables only. There simply wasn’t the capacity to transport things for everyday use of the general population.
And there is a large discrepancy between quality of life for the elite/aristocracy and quality of life for the general population.

I would expect the second and third part to answer your questions. And I’m pretty sure there will be some “these parts declined” components
It’s a taxable event in Canada AFAIK, so I wouldn’t call it simple.
> The writer is far more knowledgeable than me, and it seems he believes there was no major decline related to the fall of Rome,

He doesn't claim that at all. In the intro he explicitly claims that there was such a decline and fall.

In the body of this first post of the series, he explores the areas where the case against his claim is strongest. That doesn't mean he's suddenly retracted his claims from the intro.
A colleague of mine once disagreed to use git because it was easier for him to copy paste the project's folder every now and then to keep "versions" of his work.

There are trade offs, but having data and core business logic in an open and transparent network would allow for better interoperability imo. Not saying there aren't fundamental issues to be solved with using blockchains, but it's a new path to be explored.

The speed of the blockchain doesn't necessarily have to be slow. It depends on how decentralised and safe it needs to be. It's possible to create a "private" blockchain for some use cases. I don't see web3 as open in the sense of open to the whole world, but open to whoever the stakeholders are.
> especially if you consider that chances are your keyboard already has a bunch of symbols like "@#$%^" that aren't really text

Of course they're text. What else could they possibly be?

As for going beyond text, it becomes difficult to coordinate richer types of files between different groups, especially if every group is convinced that other groups are missing some vitally important functionality and, therefore, everyone will be convinced of the essential rightness of their cause given enough time.

For fungi, the carbon source is actually even more straightforward than with plants: we can just feed them biowaste. Depends on the species of course, and probably requires some treatment to not encourage growth of less desirable species instead. If they turn out to be edible, this could prove to be ideal.
The calendar-as-todo-list advice might be suitable for busy managers, but seems quite unsuitable for engineers, scientists and any kind of „makers“ who can rarely tell how long solving a problem will take.

Some reasons why can be found in Paul Grahams well-known essay „Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule“. Another one is getting the various random demands occurring in life out of the head so that it is free for difficult things that require full attention.

If you want to use calendars, the idea of the „unschedule“ from „The Now Habit“ might be more suitable for makers: Only put meetings, chores and actual freetime into your calendar so that it becomes obvious when there are blocks of time for focused work.
>the reality is that both sides are only moving further right. This has been happening for decades.

This is a false statement according to actual studies. Democrats have been moving further left at a higher rate than Republicans have been moving further right. [0] [1]

Before you say this study is outdated and therefore no longer relevant, you need to find a well regarded study that supports your original claim.
