A professor of law from the University of Tennessee pens an article about global economics with a lot of snide and insinuation but little in the way of anything actionable and it appears in the NY Post? Okay.

What would this professor have us do instead? They never paint an alternative solution and contrast that alternative's pros and cons with the ones we have now. It's fair to ask whether the economic sanctions are worth it but that question is never asked and certainly not analyzed.

I guess that would require too much work and so we're left with a hefty helping of snide instead.
And yet, industrialized countries fall below replacement level and world population plateaus.

My guess is that Netflix found people were more willing to pause, than cancel, and that the net result of removing pause left them with more revenue.
Let's say I forgot how to call `ls`, then I'd run `apropos directory` with ` | grep -i list` appended afterwards. Full command would be:

apropos directory | grep -i list

And now it's just 7 options, where `ls` is easy to find :)

I recently canceled my Kindle Unlimited subscription as well, and experienced no issues other than the "dark patterns" already outlined in other posts here.

I know it's a massive coincidence that that happened to you, but I really do think it was just a coincidence. If it happened too often, people would be screaming about it on social media in no time.
I highly recommend TimeSnapper ( https://timesnapper.com ) if you're a visual person, it lets you take occasional screenshots throughout the day and then play it back like a movie, super helpful for jogging my memory. I'm not associated with them, just a long time user - they used to have a free version which was pretty good but I paid for it when they introduced a Mac version. Also backtrack ( www.backtrack.team ) is pretty good for keeping notes in meetings.

I ran into this and I run some flavor of Dvorak on everything. Once I got my Zsa keyboards (first an Ergodox then a Moonlander, I love both but slightly prefer the moonlander) I added a level shift which makes it issue Command+<qwerty letter>. You can do the same with a regular keyboard in linux (haven't tried but I know it's possible with xkb) or mac (karabiner I think?).

I have 16 layers of possible keys activated by thumb chords (though in practice my brain runs out of awareness of different combos far before my ~1000 unique keys). So I just dedicate a layer to this pseudo-qwerty.

Need to get around to writing that emoji layer...

This depends on what threats you're concerned about. If you're concerned about malware but your devices are patched and you don't click through SSL warnings, you're probably going to be fine on either of them.

I apologize for my ignorance, but how does one consider gravity a "force" from within an inertial reference frame? As I understand it, from the perspective of an observer floating in space inside the gravity well of a nearby object, that observer experiences no net forces. They experience acceleration from the perspective of an outside observer, but not from their own reference frame.

A classic example is a person inside a falling elevator. From their own perspective, they're floating with no external forces acting upon them (until, of course, the elevator crashes into the ground). Only when the elevator is held stationary (from the POV of an external reference frame) does the occupant feel an acceleration force upward pushing back against the gravitational well they're standing in.

It's interesting now that they've solved the "thermal issues" of the traschcan shape via ARM XPUs, they gave up on it already. Not that I care strongly about the particular design, but I find Apple's frequent flip-flopping disconcerting on some level. Now they've got a giant cheese-grater case that is obsolete for requirements.

You shouldn't have to plan your technology purchases on a decade-long timescale, just to avoid the duds, obsolete, and dead-end products. A big company should be a bit more disciplined imho.
At least for me Discrete math was far easier than calculus. The hardest math class I took was the "statistics for science majors" class which was super application oriented and didn't justify half the things they did. Plus the textbook was this godawful online only thing that was super hard to read/search (and extremely poorly organized) and the online computer graded homework counted for half the grade (usually with math homework I just turn in the scratch paper for the practice problems I do to study it and get something around 50% but do very well on tests so that just didn't fit well at all with the way I study.)
They are the same reactions, in the sense than humans and cows are the same animals because they are both mammals.

They are not the same reactions, in the sense they have different reactants and go at much different rates. And for the purpose of this subject, they are different in the sense that "the sun uses fusion" does nothing to imply that "manmade fusion is interesting or practical".
It also doesn't consider two-key combinations, which are key for developers (not just EMACS folks).

Apple's CMD-C/CMD-V is one of the least ergonomic patterns I've encountered in keyboard design compared to CTRL-C/CTRL-V. Yes, I know you can remap keys from within macOS, but it is a nightmare if you are using VNC + Windows Remote to access other machines (granted, that isn't a common use case, but it is mine).

Pinky-C/Pinky-V/Pinky-Esc is a valid pattern for I would guess lots of developers who were raised on Atom/Sublime/VSCode.

On any given issue, some people care more about it, and some people care less about it. Special groups in general are not a bad thing.

> If there were just profit seeking companies, and no opposing forces, that could be bad too, and maybe cause the kind of things you're talking about.

That's exactly what the problem is. On many issues, there are no opposing forces to the special interest groups. These arise when for example when an industry causes a small issue for a large population. It's difficult to organize and litigate in such cases.

Edit: I think we're mostly in agreement. I think what is needed is, like GP suggested, a rational way to balance the incentives for the special interests and the public good. Our current system relies on mustering large public support to make legal changes for the public good, but that's not scalable, and doesn't tend to rational, balanced thinking.
Thanks for the response! Honestly, I was going to delete my comment, I felt like I was asking in bad faith, but can't since it had a reply.

I guess I see your point. I tend to side a bit harder with the landlords, but I don't want people tossed out on the streets without any sort of warning either.
we're exploring adding instant answers in clean way at Breeze; leaning towards using open-source library &/or external API to compute vs. building in-house

also adding premium tier that's alerts + ad free + feeling lucky that would take user to top result, which is a UTC page, re: https://breezethat.com/?q=UTC+time
How many of those people are getting hacked by someone playing games with their local network? It seems to be almost universally garden-variety phishing attacks and software bugs, none of which care what network you're on.

Maybe it is due to the way people interpret things differently, but none the assessments you are making in your two posts about the original comment are things that I would have said or thought about that comment.
Honest to God, the founders of Airbnb should have been sent to prison.

That would have fixed much of this, it's point blank illegal to run a bed and breakfast out of your home. Now if you're my buddy, and you want to slide me $200 to crash at my house for a week that's fine, but if you add technology to it, it ends up destroying entire neighborhoods.

Ride-sharing is a bit different, since I'd argue the reduction in drunk driving deaths more than outweigh any negative side effects. It's amazingly easy to just call an Uber when you've had one too many. Countless lives have been saved already.
> How's that "lobbying"?

From the court’s decision:

<<But this new law generated several years of international-trade issues with Canada and Mexico, including two disputes before the World Trade Organization and more than $1 billion in retaliatory tariffs imposed against the United States. …
… As a result, in 2015, Congress repealed the new country-of-origin requirements for beef products, essentially reinstating the pre-2008 status quo.>>

The court just used this “status quo” law formulas.
But it’s not the result of just lobbying, right. It’s the result of a trade war.
> I've realized my searching is basically optimized for google

Is it just me, or I feel like Google does not provide anymore good results for me.

Like every time I search something completely out of my knowledge, like "How to purchase a property in Mexico", it will give me 100+ results of some results with autogenerated content like "10 best places to buy property in Mexico". And the only way to fix that would be to add something like `site:reddit.com`
True, we could lower the population back down by exiling real estate agents.
That's easier said than done, and it's not obvious how to do it with types.

Consider a non-blocking read. What the caller does depends on whether the read returns a value or "no data available". If the type of the object returned depends on whether there was a value, you just replaced a null check with a type check.

You can avoid that check with a caller with multiple return points and have the callee pick between them. Exceptions are the most obvious way to do that. However, exceptions happen immediately, while type/null checks can be done later.

No, there's still a distinction. Secured financing can still fall through.
iBuyers are supposed to be playing a rational strategy over a large portfolio; they pay what they think the house is worth, and unlike an irrational/emotional human who really wants that property for his primary home, they have no reason to participate in bidding wars past what they think the house is worth. The the point of the iBuyer is to turn around and unload it after a few weeks or months on someone who wants it for a primary residence; it's not in their interest to pay more than such a buyer can afford.

People are living longer and tolerating less construction. We're only building or freeing up enough homes in desirable areas to skim the very top of our generation.
Cow meat is expensive. Chicken costs about as much as potatoes.
Why could this not be run as an actual service. Zillow fronts say 75% of the estimated purchase price, then sells it and takes a cut of the premium, the rest going to the original seller. It's an estate agent with financing.
People already made their money in London. Buying a home there means buying into an expensive mature area. Most people buying come from old money or they are over leveraged or foreign sources.

You should try to make some other city into something and buy into their future price increases.

> No matter what terminology you use, buyers without cash-in-hand are getting screwed.

"Cash is king" is a common phrase in real estate for good reason. In pretty much all instances, a cash buyer has a leg up over everyone else. In a liquidity crunch, cash buyers get discounts because people can't get loans; in hot markets, they get discounts because they can wave contingencies; in cool markets, they get discounts because they can move faster; etc.
This is an interesting thought.

Hydrology and economics both have stock/flow models. I don't know much of anything about hydrology, but you seem to be describing a directed acyclic graph with multiple sinks (i.e. nodes with no outgoing edges, "drainage basins"). The full water cycle is not explicitly modeled; there is no "edge" from a drainage basin to the atmosphere, and from the atmosphere back to the ground, to create a cycle.

In economics, there are many models of cyclical flows of commodities or money (acylic graphs are a special case of limited interest, as far as I know). Historically, the physiocrats were among the first to propose one (the "Tableau Economique"), to support their doctrine that the growth of national wealth was limited by agricultural output (which was, to a first approximation, true in their time).

The descendants of the Tableau are Leontief input-output models, which form the basis of national accounts (from which we get concepts like Gross Domestic Product). You can calculate the "leontief inverse" of an input-output matrix that lets you characterize how coupled different firms or sectors are in a given economy. Under assumptions of linear technology, these let you answer questions like: "How much would the total output, in dollars, of the steel sector have to increase to increase the total output of the automobile sector by $10 million dollars, relative to last year?"

If a sectors or firm has a relatively large multiplier, it means that it has a greater impact on the whole economic system than those with a smaller multiplier. When you hear claims like "building this factory would indirectly create 10k jobs", it is usually based on a regional input output model commissioned by a lobbying group or government agency.

I'm dimly aware these techniques have been used to model the diffusion of inflation from sector to sector, but I believe the state of the art involves convex optimization techniques that are beyond my ken.

> I take 15 minutes before my meeting preparing for the standup

A daily standup should be a < 15 minute meeting most days, on a fairly large team. < 5 minutes a day on a small team.

It seems like a waste of time to me to spend any time on preparing for it, and if that means my update is "I don't really remember what I did yesterday because I jumped around a ton", so be it.

Frankly even now that I'm a team lead I find these meetings fairly useless and my only real takeaways most days is what people need help or more work.
Nestle's mission to privatize the basic human right to clean, safe drinking water should be prosecuted as a crime against humanity. What else is new?
I've long suspected that my work ethics shield me from getting a burn-out. These ethics are:

- work is a way, a tool, a means to an end:to make money. If work becomes more (a way to meet people, a way to have a higher status, a way to fill time) then it should be culled, cut off, put back in its proper corner.

- work should not be enjoyed too much. Lest you come into temptation to do more of it than necessary.

- work should also not be too boring. A little challenge now and again is fine.

- Do not take shit from colleagues. Talk to them about their behavior. No change? Talk to the manager. Still no change? Transfer or quit this job.

- Do not take shit from managers or your boss. Be open about this and direct: the buck stops here. Period.

- It helps to have F-you money. I suggest 2-3 years salary is a nice stash.

- work should not be done too much (working 2 to 4 days per week seems ideal. I've worked for 3 days a week for years and can highly recommend it).

- work should be done diligently (you should do the required tasks, and recommend improvements). Any time your suggestions for improvements are sworded down, you should NOT worry. After all, you only work for money, not for your ego.

- work should be done honestly (no lying, stealing or cheating).

- You do not work overtime, not even when paid, unless there is an emergency. If there are more than 1 emergencies per year, then the company's definition of an emergency is wrong. Look for a less toxic company.

- You do not do any unpaid overtime. Work is for money. No money means no working. It's really that simple. But would you really want to abandon your colleagues/coworkers? No, but it's the task of the shareholders or company owners to chip in, not yours.

- When fired, give yourself a year sabbatical.

- In case of being fired, do not take it personally. Were you really under-performing, or was your new manager just not able to appreciate your work? Hint: he was too short-sighted to see your work's true value. But what if he was right? Maybe you do suck at this. It is better to think about such soul-searching things after the sabbatical. When you still agree: look for a whole new kind of work. A different position with fresh perspectives.

I’m dead serious, school menus in Italy are (at least in theory) monitored by the ministry of health, to ensure they are healthy and well balanced. Children don’t buy food at school, they are served a meal from a fixed menu (which may change for religious or health reasons). I’ll leave to you to determine which county has better eating habits.

The notion that a 7 year old can buy fries or may think it’s normal to buy fries (rather than it being an exceptional thing that happens no more than once a week under the supervision of an adult) is as stupid as thinking that they should be allowed to buy and consume beer.

I bought my first one a year ago (Keychron K2 v2) and I've mostly enjoyed it. It has both USB and BT output, which is nice.

Except, I just recently found a really terrible bug. If I disconnect the USB and switch to BT mode and the battery dies, I'm unable to use USB mode whatsoever until the battery is fully charged (I think BT works eventually but not straight from 0% charged either).
I had a few months when I went down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole, constantly trying different switches and keyboards out. Honestly, my favorite mechanical keyboard was something I bought on Amazon for $40. I can understand if you want to customize your aesthetic, but I don't really are about that.

It's the same with audio. I dabbled in hi-fi headphones and amplifiers, but it's so damn inconvenient and you wind up hyper-specializing into a non-portable setup. You're better off getting the versatile setup that's 80-90% there and costs less than half the premium cost.

Eh, it's hard to talk about JavaScript because of all the different layers. My personal take is: JavaScript itself (ECMAScript) is an ugly and flawed but clearly generally productive language; Node is a work of art; NPM is horrendous with near-to-no redeeming qualities. TypeScript redeems lots of the problems with JavaScript, and I'm hopeful that Deno will ameliorate a lot of the problems with NPM (Yarn is good for what it is, but barely covers 3% of the necessary changes).

Also, an honorary mention for ESBuild (and the lesser-known SWC, extremely similarly optimal but eking out a small win due to Rust's advantages over Go). Both of them are terrific improvements over the extant tooling.
