I don't want to claim I am an expert on different programming languages. I really wanted to supplant my JS use-cases with Elm, but the ecosystem is too closed for proper collaboration.

The biggest restriction on adoption is that the language is a gatekeeped brainchild of limited number of devs. They are inclined to build the language around use cases they want, instead of what people who use their language want.

They have effectively closed the gate to having other talented FOSS devs supercharge this language with features that allow it to run circles around other languages currently in production systems (mainly JS)

It's their right to do so if they wish, but it means that I can't consider this language in any serious capacity. It means the language lacks flexibility and reactivity to changing circumstances, and while it describes having a default library without extendible ecosystems as a "feature, not a bug", they've essentially put a ceiling on what is practical with their language in doing so.

I really wanted to like this language, but the more I learned about it, the more I felt disappointed over what could have been.
Crane counterweights are a completely different matter. The crane doesn't have to drop the counterweight to take on load (the opposite really, unless it's a superheavy with active counterweighting the entire point is to be more stable once loaded).

So the issue with this thing is, any time you move an actual load from A to B, you need to have a weight waiting for you at point B. Or to offgas at which point you won't be able to make a second trip without regassing.
The restaurant scene has exploded in Zürich over the last 20 years, but this means it's a bit of work to sort between the wheat and the chafe.

It also sounds like you're still trying to eat the cuisine you were in London, and finding the (reliably) high quality food to be the local cuisine.

A few quick recommendations:

Pizza: Napulé (the sit down in Meilen, not the takeaway by Bellevue)

Indian: Kerala (real Indian food, not sweet British-style curry)

Hearty European: Wirtschaft zur Au

Eritrean: Mesob

American: Grain Bar & Restaurant

Turkish: Gül

European breakfast/brunch: Baboo's

Ice-cream: Gelati Tellhof

Enjoy!
This is still very much true according to NOAA [0]

A bit weird to make such a definitive statement about the, allegedly singular, culprit with "lawn runoff".

It's really difficult, to nearly impossible, to trace back where the nitrogen and phosphorus originated from that results in oceanic dead zones thousands of miles away [1].

A good start would simply be to look at the biggest consumers of these fertilizers, and those ain't homeowners fertilizing lawns, those are industrial scale agricultural operations [2] for whom fertilizer use directly correlates with their financial bottom line [3].

People have claimed gold was a hedge against inflation and financial asset bubbles for a long time. Sometimes it is even true. Of course gold has solidly underperformed the market for the last ten years (S&P 500 up hundreds of percent, gold flat).

The fact is there is not an investment that exist which will both perform as well as the stock market and be anti-correlated to the stock market during downturns.

Imo, this is not something to worry about too too much. If there is a big stock market crash, then you just hold on to your stock throughout. You'll get "poorer", but so will everyone else, since they are all invested the same as you are. For a member of the investor class, whose true needs are likely to be met under any foreseeable circumstance short of complete social collapse, the most important thing isn't maintaining a certain absolute level of wealth. It's maintaining a certain relative level of wealth. And the main way to do that is to avoid consumptive activities that significantly drain your capital at the bottom of a downturn.

I hope you forgot the sarcasm tag because suggesting you should replace alcohol with coke. That's insane
I didn't say or even imply that and it's unfair to interpret it that way.

Distract yourself in a positive manner. Don't dwell on meaningless thoughts that you'll never defeat. Only way to win is to do something else with your time.

It's fine if you don't think that's the solution but straight up misrepresenting what has been said to you is not cool.

If you want to do dynamic dispatch, there are ways to achieve it via reflection and dynamic proxies.

Interfaces, dynamic code loading, JAr bundles, lightweight class type reflection, all trace back to Objective-C, or Smalltalk, if one wants to be pendantic.

In case you missed it, even JEE started as an Objective-C framework for the Spring distributed OS, Distributed Objects Everywhere.

It only seems like that because 10 years ago everything was going up. Everything is a bet. In bear markets most people lose money. Effectively here, you're just asking for "give me a sure thing" investment advice (which never works). If there was a sure thing to guarantee you wouldn't lose money everyone would do that. But yet we all still lose money.
Are they vaccinated and/or have been already sick?

If yes, then the chance of them dying is relatively low.

About the same era I was working on my industry year at a UK computer company. I was mostly working with the spiffy new Pentiums, but had a spare 486 machine to play with Linux. The complete SLS (I think, though it may have been Slackware) fitted nicely onto a box of 3.5" disks (50 in total?)

Downloading it was a nightmare though - there was no TCP/IP connection available to me, but I could use the X.25 based email package. Attachments weren't an option, but you could send email to a file hosting server (funet.fi perhaps?) and it would split the requested file into as many 64K UUEncoded emails as necessary in response. Reassembling them (given the clunky email software I was working with) was a distressingly manual process... but I eventually collated and copied the complete set of disk images to floppy and installed them on the lavish 100Mb drive of the 486.

I also recall the fun (?) of trying to get the right monitor sync info for the XConfig file, and the superstition of `sync; sync; sync` that must have been long out-dated by the time I actually got my hands on this machine (though I did play around a little with the boot/root disk combination before that).

I sometimes feel a pang of nostalgia for all that stuff, but you can take my 1Gb network connection, hidpi monitor, and multi-terrabyte SSDs out of my cold dead hands!

Edit: Afterthought to give a little extra perspective on when this was: Around the same time I signed up for a Beta program on some Microsoft projects and boxed copies (with manuals) of "Daytona" and "Chicago" turned up in the post!
My 2 cents is that the need for diversification is greater now than it used to be; I see both Ray Dalio and Grantham talk about this. How to and into what you should diversify is something you need to research, I'm no expert. What I'm doing is reallocating into relatively unloved assets classes (silver, emerging markets etc). Also having some cash on the side seems to make sense to me though many others disagree.
Being 100% invested in the S&P 500 is fine if you don't need the money in the upcoming decade, but the upside is likely not gonna be great.

We all know the saying that staying 100% invested in a low cost index fund (like S&P 500) is one of the best ways to increase wealth historically. And yet we all also know that in certain periods and countries this strategy failed miserably (such as investing in the U.S stock market before the great depression, before the dot com, or in Japan before Nikkei collapsed). When I say miserably I mean a lost decade or sometimes 2-3 decades like in Japan.

Grantham builds a strong case why this is now happening in the U.S. I hope he's wrong, I'm sure there will be a correction but hopefully it won't be that devastating, but I can't ignore what he's saying. Historically extreme overvaluation ended in corrections.
Vaccines and masks have both been shown to be quite effective prior to Omicron. Kids are the remaining gap and that’s important because they can spread it even if they’re less likely to get sick, and that’s important because they bridge households and come in contact with high risk family members.

The other thing to remember is that kids don’t have a problem with the extremely mild inconvenience of wearing a mask — that’s mostly adults complaining for political reasons. If you ask a teacher, it’s just something they do like wearing shoes, and vaccination is no different than all of the other ones they get (95% rate in the US prior to Republicans choosing to politicize medicine).

This should all be indexed to vaccination and spread rates: relax restrictions on high risk activities like indoor dining as the former climbs and the latter declines, and prioritize keeping schools safe to avoid disruptive closures.
> ...My social and entertainment life has involved alcohol for the last 10 years.

Well, I understand this as that it involved people too, and doing some things together.

So, if the alcohol was rather a facilitator, then the question is rather more about you wanting to keep your social circles/interests while just personally wanting to subtract alcohol from your consumption. Is that right?

After all, the options depend more on the people and the common thing that keeps you together, than alcohol by itself. Of course, your personal interests too.

Starting a whole new social circle is a whole new question.

Either way, it's doable, and quite liberating and money saving. Those 7-dollar pints and shots not drunk add up... well, should you not find a pricier substitute, hopefully healthier.
This. Bonus points for hitting the outdoors with friends. Deep talks don’t happen drunk, but sober and walking/hiking. Drunk “deep talk” is mostly previously suppressed feelings (learn to express them sober) and kitchen sink philosophy.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

These BigCorps are hiring like mad and paying big $$ to fill seats more for the purpose of starving their competition of brains than actually using the brains they hire.

The work is primarily organizational/drudgery and moves at a slow pace because of all the red tape and walls they've built around their projects in order to manage all the people. Endless incremental code reviews for small changes that get pondered for days and days. Design docs for trivial features written up and then basically entirely reworked by comments from people higher up who have more information but no time to do it because they're too busy being higher up and writing design doc comments all day. Horribly inefficient, painful to get anything done, and demoralizing.

Just left Google after 10 years. I found in that time I spent more time trying to find where I fit in and what work I could even do than actually doing any work. In some parts of the company, any interesting project was like a piece of red meat thrown into a pack of hungry wolves looking for "impact". Any project "given" to you quickly got competed with or downgraded in importance unless you got super self-promotional. There'd be talk about some new exciting thing coming down the pipe and you'd eagerly wait months for it to find out the work was either already parceled out or it didn't really exist.

I ended up seeking our "boring" organizations and projects within the company, in order to avoid the frustration and drama. But then motivation suffered.

Oh, and remote work has made them even more terrible because it's even more asynchronous and ponderous now. Can't tap someone on the shoulder and run something by them really anymore, it's just more "fork many threads of work and then spin on all the blocking issues waiting to make progress on any of them". Which sucks if you are the kind of person who is better at picking one thing at a time and sinking your attention into it, like me.
So yeah, at some point you just start to lose focus out of sheer annoyance/frustration/boredom. And you're just there to
collect the paycheck.

And maybe you feel guilty about it, but then, that was kind of the point. Maybe in your previous job you were a top contributor, potentially competing with BigCorp in some domain. Now you're not. They can push wheelbarrows full of money around to do the thing you were doing before, but at way higher scale and precision... but at the cost of way lower velocity because they've employed PhDs to nitpick over the comments in a protobuf description. (And if you leave and start your own thing and compete, they'll probably just come and buy it and bury it, too.)

They're bad for our industry and not so great for our brains... but good for our wallets. 10 years at Google messed up my passion and skills.... but it sure was good for my mortgage.

(FWIW, I thought in that time that I had lost my passion for coding. But two weeks after leaving to take some time for myself, I found myself firing up CLion and writing a synthesizer from scratch and loving it. Writing code is great.)
I've had plenty of fun with alcohol, but more fun without it. And at some point, most people's bodies call it quits. This seems to happen in your 30's, some metabolic change perhaps. Now the stuff makes me sleepy or a little lightheaded. If I try to chase the high, I end up sick. Friends started falling asleep at the table. The wild nights of our 20's are in the rearview mirror. And I'm a more confident person now, so the liquid courage is no longer required.
So where did OP get a 2000/day number?
Totally. This took the place of clickbait that could have made me feel insecure while generating a fraction of a penny for some private equity group.

Where's the civic mindedness today?
I think about just the common cold/flu - I also don't want to get that. If I knew that was ravaging through communities at higher than normal rates, i would take precautions because I just would prefer to not get sick!
I prefer the dynamic langs for their "compile" (maybe more accurately "interpret") speed. It helps to keep short change-recompile-reload-check loops during development.

Sorry, I think I'm confused, it sounds like all-cause mortality is not the important number to be looking at in your opinion? The person you responded to reports more deaths in the vaccinated group. But you were querying about Covid deaths. Why would you ignore the larger all cause death and concern yourself only with Covid deaths?

Suppose someone offered you a pill. They say with certainty that you can trust that it will prevent you from dying of Covid but increase your likelihood of dying of something else by so much that your overall likelihood of dying actually increases. Is that some pill you'd want to take?

edit: I just finally got your point about a period with zero covid cases. Kind of makes sense, but how could you ever use that to make a claim about a vaccines effectiveness if there is known zero challenge?
That's an area i'd be quietly hopeful in. Assuming propulsion motors are available which are both:

a) powerful enough to defend against wind acting against such a huge object
b) responsive enough to change their thrust vector (power & direction) such
that the associated PID loop can operate within some reasonable set point
boundary

Then there are already open source hardware and software solutions available for this - i'm not proposing someone slaps a pixhawk 4 on a huge airship and gets a few mates over to help tune the PIDs in Ardupilot - i mean that the know-how is there. Translating that into a product that would be suitable for controlling such an aircraft would be do-able. Certification costs and expensive hardware suitable to run it all on are a different matter.

I guess this is a long way to say i don't think it'd be easy or cheap, but i don't think they'd have to make a break through innovation to make it possible.
Taking them every day is dangerous in terms of: (1) risk of addiction, (2) risk of falls, (3) long term suppression of memory formation. Talk to somebody who uses long-acting BZs and you'll probably notice that they have the same conversation with you that they had 10 years ago. Antidepressants are the first-line choice of anxiety disorders because they don't get in the way of people finding solutions to their problems the way long-acting BZs do.

It's like alcohol though. Chronic use of alcohol will really destroy you, faster than chronic BZ use. Taking a Xanax on the weekend occasionally won't wreck your life and could be safer than drinking.
I never have drink alcohol, a "teetotaler" if that term is allowed here (and one I learned about not so long ago). I just don't like the taste of alcohol. At all.

But I feel like most people began to consume it based on that false premise you mention and others impose it, like a chain effect.

Can't tell if it's some cultural thing but it's so weird to me, one of those aspects of society I can't understand.

Though even weirder has been that sometimes I've been ostracized because this not-alcohol consumption.
It’s no surprise that companies with broken cultures that value “butt in seats” struggled to adapt during the shift to remote work during pandemic. But that’s a problem with the companies, not remote work.
If we are talking today then absolutely.

However, the grid is expected to have a lot of unused capacity. California is already at the point where 5% of all solar power produced is wasted and people are still constantly adding solar because the current economic break even is ~50% of all solar produced being wasted. That would average around 4-5 hours a day of basically “free” electricity which isn’t quite enough, but at scale at scale electrolysis equipment is almost that cheap and will probably hit that point.

This becomes more likely when you consider efficiency as a useful tradeoff. 40% efficiency at 2c/kWh or 20% efficiency at 1c/kWh potentially spend the same amount on electricity per kg of hydrogen but the second is likely much cheaper to build. You could potentially have several designs that get turned on or off depending on the current spot price.
at the time the choice made sense for C, today it is a vanishingly rare case that you want a language that doesn’t know how long its own arrays and strings are, or that doesn’t know what might be null.
That’s great to hear. Are you aware of any data on vaccinated vs unvaccinated hospitalizations for Ireland? If so, can you share please?

I agree with you on Workplace, and I had an equally good time using Github than Phabricator. Still, current Workplace is very slow and its amount of whitespace-to-information grew a lot on the last years.

Most other tools are just unambiguously worse than their public counterparts though.
It’s a pivotal question because so many things are coupled to it (tightly or loosely). If you guess correctly and position your investments to be helped by the next Fed announcement, it’s worth real money.

Note that no amount of changing the “openness” of this will help. If the Fed commits to announcing policy earlier, they make that commitment with less information and merely change the date on which investors’ outcomes are determined; there’s still value in predicting before whatever the new date is.
