> Unless it's individually serialized and they have a large database

They already have that large database, those purchases are all already tracked and associated with a customer (to the extent they can depending on context). If you buy something at a major retailer, you'll get a receipt with a transaction number on it, with all the items of course on the receipt; the retailers are usually permanently warehousing that data. The data is text and trivial and gets easier to store closer to active space every day that passes (as opposed to only keeping the huge piles of data on ice; you want it rapidly accessible if you need to always be able to check for any transaction in the past, eg in that scenario of past items coming into the store from who knows when).
They might, but at the same time, if that's something everybody wanted everybody would already have migrated to 4chan.

I suspect this change will have little impact on YouTube use numbers. Most people didn't want to see the Oath Keepers's content.
Raising the ceiling on compensation for exceptional talent seems like good business strategy to me. This is a great time to understand technology as we become a science-hating culture completely addicted to science and technology to survive. Milk it for all it's worth no matter what your skill level. If your boss can afford to buy bottled farts from reality stars and Bored Ape NFTs they can afford to pay you more.

Work satisfaction is a large component of happiness, as we spend a lot of our time at work (nearly half our waking hours). It's important not to neglect other aspects of your life and base your self-worth and happiness on work alone, but it's important to ensure you are happy at work.
>I mean it's pretty much known that rich people can avoid nearly any consequence intended or unintended of politicians......

Its not a long term strategy when the majority suffer. Thats why the blue side have shifted towards pushing European style Democratic Socialism policies and the Red has shifted into authoritarian right style policies.

>Also aren't these progressive policies supposed to have helped people on the lower end of the economic scale rather then forced them out?

What progressive policies? There is no real progressive party in the US. California(and the rest of the states (save for a few districts here and there) has been extremely hostile to real progressives. What we have now on the "left" is a combination of neo-liberal right leaning centrists mixed in with fake leftist social populism.

If you look at the divorce process in various countries it becomes clear that the process in the Five Eyes (US, UK, Can, AUS, NZ) is much more onerous and court intensive than in other countries. One has to wonder if it's the legal profession, who benefit most, that is behind lobbying for the laws that benefit their members to the detriment of families.
I thought the soil was great because of the Yellowstone Caldera Supervolcano dropping huge amounts of volcanic ash every 650,000 years.

The prices are raising due to fundamental cost. The cost of making your Big Mac or frozen burrito are increased.

Thus, BigCorpFood has to manage price (too expensive and less consumers buy their products) and cost (too much cost means no profit).

BigCorpFood would really like to sell you a hundred frozen burritos at $0.99 that cost them $0.09. That would be ideal.

Less ideal but realistic would be selling you frozen burritos at $2.99 that cost $2.79

Even less ideal - but still workable for short periods of time - is selling you burritos for $2.99 that cost $3.10

What BigCorpFood doesn't want is to sell you frozen burritos at $9.99 that cost $9.79. That is really bad for them. They will sell very few of those burritos, and make almost no profit.

BigCorpFood stock price is more about introducing "New Deluxe Spicy Chicken Burrito, available for $3.10!" that cost $2.75. If eg Beef is getting more expensive and BigCorp can sell you cheaper chicken thigh and save a profit margin, that will help their stock a whole bunch.

ps: Oh, and re "your food/gas prices go into the income statement..".No, they go into the revenue statement. Income = Revenue - Cost.
>The origin countries may have logistical difficulties with certain types of things which would otherwise go into a landfill. Throw one shirt into the landfill? Fine. Bring dump-trucks of clothes? Maybe now we have a problem. Same for E-waste (also an issue here in the form of used computers which are barely usable.)

I don't think there's anything special about clothes that make them particularly hard to dispose of, unlike e-waste. My municipality has warnings specifically for e-waste, but none for clothing. The non-cynical view of why we ship ewaste and/or clothes to china is that they're valuable on net, even if 80% of it or whatever are thrown away. You see this with e-waste. They're not just imported into the country and then dumped in the nearest river/landfill. They're sent to a recycling center where scavengers pick through them to recover what's left.
If the compiler’s optimization passes determine that the bitcasted-from and bitcasted-to objects are never simultaneously live, then copying can be easily elided.
So why blame the developers and not the government?

People lobby for different things all the time, it's the government that sets the rules. The only power public has is to vote out those officials, or lobby the other way.

There were structural, government induced factors that helped lead to the 2008 GFC in the US too. You could blame irresponsible buyers, or the banks, but it's the government regulation that is the only thing that can structurally fix problems. Blaming actors within the system devised by govt doesn't solve anything, however cathartic it may feel.

I would suggest reconsidering your decision to quit because:

1. you don't have a drinking problem

2. your decision is premised on a sort of "news-shock" experience, which, per Postman [1] and Carr [2], is a bad way to make serious decisions

In particular, drinking alcohol (moderately, socially) is Lindy [3] as hell. I would actually go so far as to say that drinking alcohol (moderately, socially) is a net good for you.

I simply don’t understand why a junior developer would want to work at a company that uses as much proprietary software as some shops do. What have they learned at the end of their tenure that they can apply somewhere else?
Yes, extremely tragic.
Even if you look just at sound language guarantees, Zig is closer to Rust in terms of memory safety than to C or C++. That it doesn't make all of Rust's static guarantees doesn't put it in the same bucket as languages that make none. Once you reduce memory safety issues to below half of their current rate, there are different paths to achieving a good overall correctness story.

> The US population will get smaller as the baby boomer generation is larger than its successive generations. That’s almost the definition of negative market growth and in some cases (health care) it is.

And all that money the boomers have accumulated, at least what they don't blow before dying, is going to be inherited. And the heirs are going to invest it, and the government is going to force them to spend it (or at least have it taxed) within 10 years of inheriting it.

No idea what effect this will have, but as usual, there are a lot of moving parts so it's hard to say how things will turn out.
This is such a kafkaesque comment. "See this horror you are gazing upon? the trouble with you is you refuse to see how this horror is indeed a good thing! It is you who suffer from a sickness, and until you see this horror for the good thing it is you will continue to be unwell"
> They only use fossil fuels to make the hydrogen. Which can be made more efficiently with electricity.

Are we really in disagreement then? Where pray tell do you think electricity comes from? In the US, 60% comes from fossil fuels, about 20% from nuclear. Solar, wind, biomass and geothermal combined is < 12%

My point is that most folks understand that moving our electric infrastructure to renewables is an enormous, long term, extremely expensive undertaking. Whether the hydrogen used in nitrogen fixation comes from natural gas directly, or from electrolysis, it's at its core an energy problem, and transitioning our energy use needed for nitrogen fixation on a global scale is a lot more expensive/complicated than planting some alfalfa.

I'm not a Java programmer but as far as I can tell java object semantics, far from being corrupted, do indeed come from simula via c++.

Thanks to reflection and a featureful VM, Java does have a significant amount of dynamic behaviour that can be used to implement a lot of features of the smalltalk side of the OO family tree.

Well, for one you are quoting the CDC which is not who approves vaccines.

https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/coro...

> The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is authorized to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 18 years of age and older.

Again, they were approved for prevention. The applications were for prevention. The FDA is trying to rewrite history, but if you look at the actual applications then you can verify what I'm saying is correct.

> Software libraries suck. Here's why, in a sentence: they promise to be abstractions, but they end up becoming services.

The file abstraction seems fine. Not having to understand physical wiring of disks, the specific disk manufacturer's wire protocol, and so on is Labor saving. Many of the abstractions don't even force the seek and location concepts but allow "just put my string there" semantics.

The addition abstraction seems fine though if you have a limited length number type there are a few things to consider. Arbitrary precision libraries eliminate those nuances though perhaps move you to others like numbers that cannot fit in available memory. Yet those are rather extreme corner cases.

It's a provocative claim but the universal declaration and the confidence it seems to project seem as weak as some of those abstractions being railed against.
It's because Iowa has a law saying their presidential primary must be first.
This resonates with me bc I've been feeling down lately, although I'm on the other side of the fence; coasting along in a boring + pointless but well paying job.

> People who work 8 hours a day, mostly for a paycheck, how do you cope without wanting to off yourself?

1. Living isn't free. Unless you own and operate your own farm, someone right now is doing work to make it possible for you and I to live. Cavemen since the dawn of time had to forage and fight to survive. (I regard millionaires and the like as exceptions to the rule, most of us don't have access to the factors that enable someone to become a millionaire.)

2. Work will set you free. Or rather, freedom is an illusion. You're constrained by society, nature, etc. no matter what you do. Not having the responsibility to work every day doesn't make you more free or your life more meaningful. Alternatively, money gives you a lot more options and choices.

3. You should want to live your best possible life, and working towards that requires effort. Nobody really wants to work for someone other than themselves, but building your own revenue streams is hard so trading labor is a decent compromise. Money is a means to an end.

4. Work is an outlet for you to feel useful. You may regard a given job as pointless, but someone is paying for it. Someone values you and your labor. It's nice to be payed and praised for it.

5. It's not all about work. It's possible to earn and still have a life you enjoy outside of that. Cultivating that balance takes effort.

6. We have it _really_ good compared to the other 99% of the labor market. My GF works in corporate law, which is a particularly nasty counter example. She earns about 10% more than me, but puts in about 60% more hours than I do. In fact, she's on her computer working right now.

7. Some amount of suffering in life is unavoidable. Working is hard, but so is being unemployed. Pain avoidance is a tough bias to overcome. Making peace with the inevitable gives some strength in facing it.

> People who have really great jobs(not talking about money ofc), how did you find them?

I said how I consider my current job boring + pointless.. but it's a hell of a lot better than my last job, and the job before that.

Big things start small.
It's not just two runways it's the headquarters of the USAF Matrials Command since 1961 I think. Which is the biggest airforce command (by budget). They are responsible for running most R&D labs of the Airforce and for procuring new weapon systems and airplanes. It certainly would have been a major target. Dayton in many ways is still the birth place of new trends in aviation.

Thats a simplification for a feel good narrative. Your source lists all land that grows anything but forest as agriculture land. Yet on large parts of those areas you cant do anything but pastures. Also, much of the cow feed isnt calories humans can process. Think byproducts of soy production.
The youtube channel "What I've Learned" has a great video on it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGG-A80Tl5g

What they dont mention is the large part livestock (especially cows an chicken) will have to play in producing soil from the dirt left behind after industrial agriculture. Regenerative agriculture is the term here, with rotating cows and chickens on degraded dirt patches to build top soil.

All of this of course doesnt take away from the madness that is industrial meat production. But nothing has ever been solved by oversimplified narratives and action-ism.

If you started with iOS development, it's not very hard to believe that you struggle to pick up fundamental paradigms of computing. Apple has long been about abstracting things away from the user, and over time that philosophy has started to spill over into the way they treat development too. Some people love it because it makes it so they don't need to learn the boring stuff, and other people despise it because you never get to solve truly interesting problems and are ultimately at the behest of a multi-trillion-dollar corporation. One thing is certain though: you aren't getting the full picture.

SICP is about expanding your mind as a developer, which is a painful process that most people don't notice as they learn to program over extended periods of time. Not understanding it doesn't make you dumb, it's just particularly heady stuff that's intended to stick in your brain. There's a reason why people treat SICP like a bible; it's an allegorical exploration of computer science, not necessarily rooted in raw truth, but more intended to help you realize the awesome scale of the modern computer and the people who program it. Being humbled by that book is just part of the process.

You can buy standard bathtub sized bladders that sit in the tub and store about 100 gallons of water. I have two here in SE Florida. They roll up small and are easy to store.

From the article:

char *forty_two_bee = "42b";
char *end;
errno = 0; // remember errno?

long i = strtol(forty_two_bee, &end, 10);

> This will return 0

No, this will return 42. strtol() parses greedily until a character cannot be parsed, but then it returns the conversion of what it did parse.

I guess the fact the author got this wrong... kind of proves their point that strtol()'s API is not great?

On the other hand, while the article purports to criticize a language, it then proceeds to only cover its standard library. Sure, C's stdlib is old-fashioned, but there are many things in C that are much worse than its standard library! (And I say that as someone who still likes the language.)
> For what it's worth, I think the main problem here is agricultural subsidies - they completely distort the market.

Yep. In the discourse surrounding this there's a call to reduce or eliminate meat consumption, but simultaneously we have market incentives for meat consumption through legislation. This is untenable.
Running Android 11 on a Nexus 7 2013 as my daily driver.

As a supported device with an "official" release I get mostly weekly updates. With some the device gets boggy, but over time it just keeps getting better.

I've been battling with a Sony with an "unofficial" release. I really do prefer the Sony hardware quality over the Nexus, but it takes some serious masochism and rodent mazing to put a custom ROM on Sony.
You might try Störtebeker Atlantik Ale alcohol free. It’s from Germany and tastes basically like a normal beer.
I think there are a lot of answers to your "why" question. But one important answer is that when product quality plateaus at a level good enough for most users, then marketing becomes the main differentiator and the main way to increase revenues and profits.

As an example, think about Coke vs Pepsi vs everybody else who makes a cola. The products are very stable and basically equivalent. So billions get spent on manipulating customers. That means plenty of opportunity to create tools that aid in that manipulation. (Which is already an ethical grey zone, so it's no shock that people will go further.)

To me, and I'd imagine to you, this is absurdly pointless and wasteful. I'd be perfectly happy to ban most advertising, freeing up hundreds of billions per year, plus untold amounts of human time and attention. But for people who just want to make money, they seem willing to look past the vast waste.

I think the solution is to find work in areas beyond the markets where a few dominant companies are engaged in trench warfare over customers for stagnant, good-enough products.

I think the biggest difference between Germany and Anglo-Saxon markets is that houses here aren't a commodity. People rarely move out of and sell houses. Most owners buy once in their lifetime. Consequently, houses sold are quite old on average and often not worth much.
Good thing we are making that as fragile as possible by distributing resource extraction and processing 5,000 miles from where it ends up, with virtually no warehousing to absorb disruptions.
I read Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You" (https://www.calnewport.com/books/so-good/) when I was around the college age, which helped me solidify a belief I always had in the back of my mind: Work isn't about finding something you enjoy, it's about finding something you're good at.

I think there's a whole sub-conversation to be had about how work is perceived in different cultures. It seems to me like Americans are much to focused on what you're describing, which is that work has to be pleasurable. In my eastern European family, there was never any doubt: Work is about making sure you have food on the table, and a roof over your head.

That's not to say I'd take any job, if I was morally opposed to the work (See: Working at F̶a̶c̶e̶b̶o̶o̶k̶ Meta) I'd go elsewhere. But not being in love with my work is fine. I don't hate it, I'm just indifferent to it, and it funds my actual life outside of work.

As for not wanting to off myself? I think that comes back to that cultural aspect. I could never imagine wanting to end my life just because my job isn't amazing, because I never had a preconception that it could be. I don't feel like I'm "missing" anything by not loving my job, because I love my life.
I got lucky and stumbled upon a company that sells an inovative and effective service that has potential to improve humanity. The fact that the companies success is aligned with human success is a huge motivator to get up and work 8 hours each day. However even with the money being decent, and the HR policies and benefits being amazing, i still struggle with the 40 hour grind. I can't imagine finding a better company to work for; I can only concluded that a fulltime job work will never "feel right". I think 20 or 30 hours would be much more ideal, as it would afford me more time to focus on life/family/nature/body/community/learning/creativity
