It's not about there not being food. It's about people being too poor to buy it, many of them in the eastern EU.

Some anecdotal evidence that might sound extreme, but actually isn't.

I know an old lady over 80 from Latvia. She worked all her life as a university trained economist. Like almost all people her age, her savings were eaten by the socio-economic chaos of the '90s. She has a <400€/month net pension (considered high locally!) and owns her apartment. She mainly pays for utilities, medical care and food. Without her vegetable garden and her family's financial support, she'd be living in abject poverty. What do you think happens when her utilities double, and her food becomes >10% more expensive?

Reality is much bleaker than that for the majority of Latvian pensioners. Not all have a "high" pension of almost 400€. Not all are in good health. Not all have financial support from younger generations. Some of them are going to go hungry.
It's not specifically advice for men. I use gender neutral pronouns for a reason. It applies to high earning women as well. My friend is a VP making good money. Her ex was a mostly out of work machinist with drug problems. She faced the same risks.

Your risk is much less when you've made your money before the marriage. You can still be on the hook for alimony, but at least you won't lose half of everything you've ever worked for. In either case, understand the law. Marriage is a legal contract enforced by the state. It, legally speaking, has nothing to do with love, commitment, marital duties, fidelity, etc.

Are you getting your knowledge from stereotypes? I know farmers from my time in a rural midwestern high school and I keep in touch with some. They plan extensively and know more about accounting than I do. Some have agricultural or business degrees too. People generally prefer to make more money for their effort and will take steps in the direction.

Sure there are the backward, resistant type of farmers too. But they're not the majority because such farms are much more prone to failure. It doesn't matter if the stereotype is that farmers are all backwards, they adapt to economic pressures regardless.
'Self licking ice cream cone' as I first heard it described is similar, although the currently available definitions have unfortunately oversimplified it.
, and so are doctors, and bankers, and some education administrators, and high-ranking public servants, and even some university professors,and the list goes on.

There is a multi-year process of training and selection. You need to take risks and invest and learn to bend your mind in certain ways. Some people cannot bear this, or just bored out of their minds and cannot continue and get back to living their "normal" lives with less risk of depression or mental breakdown.

Those who survive, make decent money, and some even more than decent money.

So what's wrong with this picture?
When your foot is swollen from a sprained ankle people recommend elevating it to "drain" it (I'm not sure if that is the real explanation for why, could just lower blood flow and not drain anything).
Ok but then don’t make a chicken farm, there are numerous other animals you can farm and it provides a baseline of food for the poor.
As far as I can tell, this is nearly everybody's biggest flaw, high IQ or no. I think we just relish the chance to point out a "smart" person's limits more.
In the US midatlantic - $125k is high avg for 3-5 SWE. It's gone up a little recently, but very little. Around me there are sales people and investment bankers with around the same or less experience than me and they are making much more money for about the same amount of work. If you want to make the $$$ outside of a few areas in the US, those are the things to get into.
Most software engineers don’t know how much software engineers can make. And I’m not not just talking about at big tech companies.

It’s a matter of finding the companies (and divisions within those companies) that have realized software is a money making system and are willing to put dollars into the machine. The industry is much less relevant than it was just 5 years ago.
Agreed. “Be kind to your future self because time is not.”

We ought to want to train people up, but those that have been trained yet lack discipline are problematic. I’m certain that’s true across every endeavor.
So sounds like the futuristic studies on human longevity could be directed to research on keeping people married longer.
Taking source copies is thought to be especially FOR large libraries. You take what you need, leaving the "large" behind...if you can. You probably can. Though, libraries are developed with the assumption that they are to be consumed as one massive binary. Making it more difficult to run off with just the part(s) you need.
It is absolutely a bubble. Many of these companies are practically printing money, which is great - until it eventually stops.

The current astronomical salaries are simply unsustainable, and there is no way that all of these companies are getting anywhere as much revenue out of their SWE's as they are putting into them.
You could always load your own books since the first Kobo (in fact the only ways to get books on there was USB and Bluetooth with a Blackberry). This literally just removes the first setup requirement to log in with an account.

You also don't need to root a Kobo to install KOReader or other tweaks. They are far more friendly in that regard than Amazon.
The last lawyer I consulted with basically said they can't force my wife to work because that's slavery. I then asked why they can force me to work and he just went silent. Everyone in that industry knows it's bullshit but they're rich, connected, and unwilling to let it change.
Wikipedia page on Peano axioms maybe.

Edit/elaborate: First order rules like "no element X has successor(X)=0" and "two distinct elements have two distinct successors" assure there is a chain of successors that starts with zero and does not cycle into itself.

This however does not mean that every model is isomorphic to the natural numbers because a cycle of elements separate from this chain does not falsify any of the rules(axioms).

So you need an additional rule to stipulate that every element of the set is reachable from zero. To express this you have to go outside first order logic.

This is really only the case at the top tech companies and you have to bust your ass to get in. Most software jobs are not that.
This reminds me of Edward Tufte’s work on Information Design. His books and lectures go into all sorts of problems like this.

Oh, it definitely did, but worse problem was the undisciplined fyrd that was fresher but fell for the Normans' feint. (They pretended to be retreating and the fyrd broke their ranks in pursuit.)
An alternative view is that a guy recently out of prison still found Amazon's working conditions bad enough to become an activist.
I like to think of these sorts of things as enabling various courses of history, rather than as strictly causing one or another. Maybe the stirrup made these things possible; the choices of the Carolingians, and of everyone else at the time, might be more like 'causes'.
Design driven API development with type-safety across the stack
Non-owning pointers are a genuinely useful tool, but as a tool they're more welding torch than hammer, if that's what you needed it's really what you needed - but most often it probably isn't what you needed at all and will cause more harm than good.

So it's strange to provide them with stuff like terse built-in syntax, while not providing anything similar for the thing people will want all the time, ownership. Result: The Right Thing™ is harder to do and wastes visual space compared to the Wrong Thing. A "correct" program ends up full of boilerplate just to get what you'd obviously want.
Does anyone else find scant/zero information in this article about what exactly the circumstances of this worker's case is?

The story goes on and on about the general topic on other Amazon-related labor recent news, but I find that the total information about this specific case in this article is approximately 1 sentence.

What did the worker do, what did Amazon do? 0 information. Not a lot of journalistic content for a "Bloomberg Equality" desk.
It was pretty obvious in my case, because I was in close contact with someone who had the same symptoms and had positive RTs (and then PCR).

Also this person had three RTs within 45 minutes, two positive (manufacturer A) and one negative (manufacturer B).
Author here!

Having introduced Goa into a number of projects over the 18 months, I've wanted to shout about this toolchain for a while.

Goa allows you to design your APIs with a DSL, then generate an OpenAPI or Protobuf schema from the design. You can trust those specs match your API as Goa produces Go backend interfaces too, which makes it even more attractive to use tools like openapi-generator to produce clients.

If your API is used by a frontend, you can use TypeScript clients to get type-safe frontend forms against your API, turning typos into compiler errors.

This post can help you introduce Goa to your project, and explains why it's such a productivity boost.
I didn't like this post because author is too short sighted. Yes, it can become dust. And it also cannot. And if it becomes dust it can start all over again.

He's just making a prediction, as a novel Nostradamus, and not considering multiple scenarios.

"Woke" went from a useful descriptor to yet another useless snarl word as it left its original context.
Interfaces and contracts are good. Telling people to not care about the code that implements the interface and contract, making it difficult to jump into a Cargo crate's source code and add debug logging, making it hard to tinker with your dependencies, is bad.
Datadog has a similarhish project for instrumenting lambdas. (Ran into.it tbis week, though I was looking for something else, their Monitor cdk). Thought i'd mention this competitor. Would be interesting to try to do a more in depth compare & contrast.

Yes. If you want a really good explanation of how it happened and the effects it’s practically the subject of The Premonition by Michael Lewis
I still remember this event when it happened. I was getting my PhD at the time. I think about it regularly.
> The nurses are not allowed to work for the new employer but the current employer isn't required match compensation until the case is resolved.

Who cares about matching compensation? This is about the right to end employment and seek employment elsewhere. Right to provide a living for yourself and your family is a fundamental human right. It's appalling that this wasn't thrown out of court immediately. I'm not a fan of non-compete clauses, but at least there is a voluntary contractual component.

In a broader sense, it's terrifying that this has even gotten so far and I fear it'll only get worse with more and more liberties being stripped away for [current emergency].
I have to admit that one of the conclusions I came to already in this article is that the author is bad at choosing a good laptop. Acer isn't exactly known for their high quality and reliability. And after his bad experience with the first one he went and bought another one.

Great taste in the old stuff, though!

So what's the company?
Methylation is just one part of epigenetics. There are other types of chemical modifications such as histone acylation that play a role. Also physical interactions such as transcription factor binding, chromatin accessibility, etc. Increasingly the spatial organization of the genome into topologically associated domains (TADs) is thought to impact transcription.
This post really makes you think and challenged my world view when I first read it.

A while back I looked at the CIA "Star Gate" files[1], which, are a collection of documents released under FOIA detailing the CIA's investigation into psychic powers and whether or not those powers serve an intelligence gathering purpose. I just opened up random files and skimmed them - I wish I had taken notes when doing so, but my impression was that the CIA was actually producing some better than chance results with their experiments.

I don't really know what to make of parapsychology or psychic powers in general. Sometimes I'll idly wonder if I should dedicate time to trying to uncover my psychic powers.

You aren't wrong. All the life sustaining minerals/elements we have in the earths lithosphere are being renewed by volcanism. It is why the plant life was able to exist in the first place.
Actually, the pro athlete metaphor seems pretty apt. Only rookies are assessed primarily for leetcode metrics like their 40 yard sprint or bench strength. Pros are judged entirely by their game play, both individual and ensemble. So it should be for pro SWEs. And the better employers understand this, finding ways to assess candidate facility by working with staff or the design of solutions to representative problems, where incapability does the most damage.
Absolutely never had a single blue screen or random crash. Maybe its because its a laptop and not a hand built rig. Whats your's?
The military applications of this are pretty impressive. Elon has said before that he plans on moving people with this and you can get between any two points on earth in under 30 minutes. Being able to go from a crisis happening anywhere on Earth to having troops and equipment on the ground within ~1 hr is going to make the USA almost unstoppable if Starship ends up being a success.
The issue is the length of time. It takes a year or 2 for most companies to make these sorts of breakthroughs. Yet they are grant 20 years of ownership over the idea. It isn't as if the e-ink investment was a billion dollars and years of arduous research.

By them owning the patents to e-ink, others that might contribute and advance the technology are blocked out all together.

To me, it's reasonable to simply cut the tech patent timeframe. Rather than 20 years, what if we moved it back to 15, 10, or 5 years?
Yeah, there’s this kind of general sentiment of “oh well they had heart disease, they were gonna die, so COVID just killed them quicker” - my dude, we’re all dying, most of us still prefer it not happen sooner than it would otherwise.
Birth rates are predicted to keep going down though, meaning the supply of immigrants will dry up anyway.
I think it was 4MB. I think there weren't too many 4GB HDDs back then
oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo i'm writing closed source software for a megacorp for hundreds of thousands of dollars from the comfort of my home :'(
I think this is the sum of a few factors.

1. you. you are likely successful and in a bubble near other successful people giving the perception of $300k being common. Let's be generous and say there are 1M SWEs in the USA, avg. salary is $150k and 1% of them make >$300k. That's 10k total people. It's hard to find concrete data, but it's also hard to imagine the proportions being more generous than that.

2. stocks. a large part of total comp -- up until recently they were at ATH's. This won't last forever.

3. recency bias. SWE is still a relatively young profession. I'm not convinced we'll be as hot or trendy or well payed 5-10 years from now as the labor supply grow and automation continues to take over.

Overall I'm not convinced this field is as solid of a bet as it once was -- at least relative to other fields.

We’re they indeed crushed? I thought the Anglo-Saxons had the upper hand until Harold caught an arrow in his eye, which may have distracted and disheartened his soldiers.

I’m also not sure there were many horses involved, though tbh it’s been a couple of decades since I cared about this battle and my memory may be poor.

Harold Godwinson was an extraordinary commander. To permanently throw the Vikings out of Britain and then march and almost repel the Normans (though basically also Vikings) shows terrific determination. And he chose his territory well: he had the upland position boxed in at the sides and with the Normans having only the sea at their back — he should have won. His troops were incredibly tough guys.

Had he carried the day I think he would have been a good leader. His case was stronger than subsequent propaganda has portrayed.
You don't need alcohol to have fun

But you shouldn't stop to do something because of half a dozen internet posts

Alcohol bad, sugar bad, salt bad, fat bad, palm oil, refined seed oils, meat, sugar soda drinks, pizza, McDonalds, drugs, processed foods, food additives... bad bad bad

Saturday and Friday I am having fun programming Go or configuring my home server. I might also be drinking alcohol occasionally, but I have fun either way...

Socially karaoke is always fun, no need to drink, although you might want to rehearse some songs to replace the "courage" alcohol gives you

On social occasions I will mostly drink alcohol because there aren't many good alternatives. Drinking sugar drinks like coca-cola will probably do you worse

They are very faded compared to a normal screen. With no backlight and in direct natural light, the Kaleido screens look similar to a color newspaper or many comics. (Some comics use paper and printing that produces much more vibrant color though)

In artificial light a lot depends on the specifics of the environment. Trying one out in warmer light, somewhat indirectly (light overhead, screen partly vertical for reading) it was a little dark, and needed the backlight. It was a cool backlight, so the warm overhead light combined with it to counteract a bit of the shift toward blue. In the dark w/o external light, the cool backlight very much shifted color towards blue.
If you want to run my favorite industrial strength ci system you can look at https://concourse-ci.org

Gives you the ability to install workers on Mac so you can do iOS builds if you like. Google around for concourse ci iOS for articles.

There are multiple ways to deploy concourse but the components are just go binaries when it comes down to it.

(Also, it’s probably overkill but you asked. I don’t know how apples ci system fairs today. It was always a bit rough in the past)
wall street has a great demand for astrophysicists and mathematicians/physics PhDs. i doubt if a math or physics PhD would find SWE and project management as rewarding. i know at least one PhD(completed) and mechanical engineer who is farming with us. they are not working for agtech companies, but actually working hands-in-the-dirt farming. i guess my answer is..there are all kinds of people out there.
Given that DNA has some error-correction built-in, this doesn't seem surprising.

http://algoart.com/aatable.htm - most amino acids can be formed by more than 1 codon, so if there's an error in a codon, it doesn't necessarily generate a different amino acid.

I regret scoffing at the very idea that Google had a slide in their office. Also thought it would never work to have free coffee, food, table tennis, etc in the workplace as the staff would just slack off. Today I take these perks very seriously and will see the lack of them as a potential concern for any new employer.

I’ve always been distrustful of food science, ever since the food pyramid (grain suppliers) was introduced to me as a child, and the quadrant of tastes (funded by umami suppliers in the condiment wars). More recently the CSIRO prostrated themselves you the lamb lobby. I picked the healthy at any size example as it’s the most obviously wrong and early death has to be the clearest indication of poor health. I’m not a fan of corn, I don’t even like the cows that I eat eating it.

I have a genetic disorder (one of the genetic anxiety disorders) that requires careful monitoring. I monitor strength, endurance, and a panel of blood work every 3 months. Everyday day I play a competitive ranked FPS game to see how my cognitive functions are going. Drops in ranks clearly correspond to changes in diet and behavior.

Yeah, yeast is a good bioreactor also Cyanobacteria. Promite is pretty good. Cyanobacteria taste like fish food. I’d like to see more options here.
I wonder if the outcome would have been differnt if she had just immediately changed her gloves (or maybe she did? The story doesn't really say, but implies that she just continued the experiment).
There is no ongoing flicker on e-ink displays.

The display is absolutely stable with no flicker while you’re reading as there is no refresh. If you trigger a page change the page redraws the new image in a fraction of a second. It looks a bit like a fast cross-fade. If you are updating smaller regions of the screen it is fast enough not to notice. Scrolling would still be a problem as that requires a much faster refresh rate. Such fast refresh would eliminate one of the major benefits of e-ink which is the low power. If you were to refresh e-ink at 30-60Hz it would likely use as much or more power than an LCD.
Well, you should have 'judged relevance' that more carefully then, because your submitted title is factually wrong, by a long shot.
You don't squash the bugs... you just get the bugs to result in the desired behavior.
There's a difference between "you won't get infected" and "you won't end up in the hospital". The current state of the vaccine is not effective for the former against Omicron. It still remains highly effective for the latter. As a thank you to medical workers who are still overworked, please get vaccinated to reduce the burden on the hospital system.
