Written communication often takes orders of magnitude more effort, since it lacks the immediate feedback loop.
There's no mention of "sudden change" in parent's post. The reference is to "modern age", which is consistent: shift from manual to sedentary job, increase of processed foods, increase of food availability, increase of pressure from industry to eat more and more processed foods; it's a very linear phenomenon.
Yes. How else do you police criminals? It's an absurd question anyway, they can and do, while there are methods people use to try and evade them. There's nothing about Crypto that changes that. It's just another system.

The fact that a stock 12700k pulls 250W suggests that it can use higher end vrms even at stock.
I’m not sure I follow. Americans tend to have high emissions regardless of location. This makes sense if you consider that society almost everywhere except ultra dense cities is built around personal automobiles; and dense cities obviously have lots of other needs for energy as you’ve noted

I also wouldn’t say cities are particularly less capable of electrification than anywhere else. Bus systems can be electric. Subway systems are already electric. There are some diesel train systems that would be expensive to electrify (eg Boston regional commuter rail), but even this isn’t impossible (frankly it should have been done years ago, and a study in the 2010s had recommended it because it gives other benefits like improving reliability and reducing maintenance)

As you’ve noted, there’s a big question mark on how cities will adapt central business districts around a non-office world. It’s also worth noting cities have handled such a transition before: during the industrial revolution, cities were full of factories, and over time these shuttered and were replaced or turned into housing.

Not everyone wants 10 acres or cares about the threat of nuclear war. Cities will be for those people.
Well, he can delete all records about who has now many credits.
it's also a cultural thing.

US commute is particularly bad, I work from home and been doing it on and off for the past 20 years.

My commute has never been longer than 20 minutes total.

I now live 5 minutes walk away from my office, I'm not going, but if I had to I would walk there and have a very nice breakfast in some bar on the road there.

One thing that's always overlooked is how much WFH is selecting people who already have a tendency to stay home and not socialize much at work.

The majority of people are not like that, most people don't have the means (spare rooms, gear, technical abilities) to do it _and_ are marginalized for not being able to socialize in person, because they tend to lean towards depression by staying home all day.

Also WFH tends to discriminate people doing "less important" jobs, like for example in a couple if one of the two has a highly paid job or a responsibility job, the other one will tend to be the one doing chores (cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids) while if both go out to work there's less pressure to compensate because both can't physically be home to do what need to be done anyway.

There are studies showing that WFH makes gender inequalities worse.

Basically the point is that many people find meaning and purpose in their jobs, if you remove the "purpose" (getting dressed, going out, meeting other people, sharing work experiences with them) it simply becomes a tedious activity to them that fulfills none of their needs.

A curated list of all the open-source internship programs
I've been at the same company since 2007, and although this isn't government work, it sure works that way. For anyone to be fired, you need solid evidence that the company has lost a good sum of money. That creates an environment where there's little trust among the lower end workers and the higher tier ones. I stay because I make great money for where I'm located, the job is stable, and if I need to just take off for a doctor's appointment, there's no issue as long as I get my work done.
This serve nothing. LJG is more violent and engage way more often with ex-GI guys. The difference is that GALE do have a media presence and call for manifestation in public.

> The proof is that a good coder spends about 10x as long thinking about it before actually committing any code.

This seems antithetical to the post above yours. Or at least how I'm reading it. In bigger tech co's this looks a lot like massive design documents with a dozen reviewers, all giving enormous amounts of time and thought to the idea in the pursuit of "building it right". Design processes that can take weeks or months for what is otherwise an MVP.
I'm similar age. Twice in the last few years I left great jobs due to somewhat similar reasons of misaligned environment and values. I left without having anything new lined up. I also kinda needed the money. But despite my fears I quit. Within days, on both occasions, I got a new higher paying job that aligned better with my preferences and values. But perhaps most valuable was a sense of satisfaction for having integrity.. the old expression "being able to look in the mirror...".

This approach worked well for me, but maybe I was just lucky.
Ah, that makes more sense. I'd be curious how what the timing is like between the compromises which give people access to keys or supporting systems and when the attacker does the noisy part of moving funds around.
That's just how life and the universe works. The level of risk employees bear is one of the lowest possible. Reality won't let you go much below that.

I'd bet in most early stage startups nowadays developers are paid way more than the founders themselves. And they work way less hours, with way less stressful problems than the founders.

The difference in pay, hours dedicated and stress (along with damages to health and life in general) represents the founders' risk appetite for future earnings.

Employees are not at all open to bear this level of risk and they should not be compensated for not bearing this risk. Founders and investors deliver value to society by bearing higher risks. We have better and cheaper services as a result. They should be compensated accordingly, so we keep them motivated to continue servicing us in increasingly better ways.
The patch looks pretty simple and is in a part of the code that probably doesn't change much, I bet it would be possible to get it included in several distros.

She loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's She loves _you_, yeah, yeah. Little quirks like that (using second person) set the early Beatles records apart from contemporary boy bands and were a forebode of that they were more than just a boy band.

There was a particular set-up at a particular time that meant that pop music was going to go very big and that explains more of The Beatles phenomenal success than your very interesting points do.

Pop was already big, see Elvis. If The Beatles were not as exceptional as they were, they would have maybe two or three hits and disappear, like most bands of the time. They were exceptional songwriters, who stood relevant for almost a decade, because they infused new ideas (e.g. from avant garde) into pop music. In contrast to e.g. Frank Zappa, they were able to convey these ideas to a large audience.

Around 1969-1970 they started to loose their edge. After a wildly experimental period (~Revolver to Magical Mystery tour) they slowly returned to more conventional Rock & Roll (see e.g. the album Let It Be). If they hadn't broken up in 1970, they would've probably become less relevant after then. E.g. even though McCartney's songwriting was still good in the 70ies, the world had moved on (disco, punk, etc.), with the ex-Beatles becoming less and less relevant. Except perhaps Lennon, who would work with more contemporary artists like Bowie.
I don't live in the USA, so i'm just repeating whats literally taught in school where i'm from.

there were no metropolis like we have them today back then. City were considered gigantic with with only a few hundred thousand people -- which is maybe a largish town nowadays

Nobody said that rural people being represented is an issue, its nonetheless a fact that they're overrepresented, as they have disproportionate voting power. That term doesn't mean that they shouldn't be represented, it means that they have proportionally more voting power then a person living in a city does.

Knowledge growth is exponential. Rather than focusing on specific topics/tools, focus on trying to gain some form of knowledge, insight, or skill from whatever task you are working on.

For example, if you are working on implementing a regex expression for your job, spend the additional time and effort (if you can spare it) to learn a little more about regular expressions and/or the tools associated with them. These small incremental improvements to your knowledge base over time will have a significant impact on your overall trajectory.

Not everywhere, but it certainly seems like that's happened in the US. Most people I know (from here in the UK) who have been on trips to the US have come back shocked at both the portion sizes and the lack of opportunities for exercise in everyday activities (apparently this is a lot to do with a culture of driving everywhere). And if it was a longer trip (weeks/months), they've often also put on a noticeable amount of weight that they then quickly lose once they're back home.

This doesn't bother me at all, especially at an individual level.

I want to make clear - it's not the language issue per se. I think native English speakers are incredibly privileged to have their language as one of if not the international language, so I could never fault a person for not speaking a foreign language well (I'm sure I butcher the German language in ways that would make Goethe himself cry out in anguish).

It's the fact that this is an international company launching a product in a professional setting. Again, I don't quite know why this bothers me so much, but I feel its within the context of other cultural things I experience.

I think people would still take issue with me buying a puppy, raising it for a year, and then shooting it in the head to eat it. If that's true, then I think people are actually far less cool with the "one bad day" argument than they think.

Even if you treat an animal like royalty for years and decide one day to kill it for food or clothing or whatever, you are still doing something wrong. Our treatment of anything does not grant us the privilege to end its life.

We feel this way about dogs and cats, and other humans, but never pigs or cows or sheep or goats or fish, etc. And there is no reasonable explanation for why, other than speciesism.

"We" (meaning technologist culture) have never worked to promote centralized, monopoly services. The users did it to themselves, largely in pursuit of short-term convenience. "We" are now building the federated, interoperable platforms that users will hopefully come around to when the obvious problems of centralization (including widespread censorship, non-existent customer service and non-transparent AI's/bots run amok) start seriously biting them in the ass. In many ways, it's already happening.
My point is simply that usually when Bitcoin is highly successful at avoiding controls it's because usage has been too small-scale for the authorities to put effort into it. If it becomes large enough scale to be significant, I'd expect that to look a lot more like what we've seen so far in other countries where monitoring or even outright bans very quickly become effective.

Allegedly the government had plans to make a completely free, simple way for you file your taxes electronically. Tax software companies knew if that took place their cash machines would die. They made an agreement with the government that they would provide a completely free simple way for individuals to file taxes electronically if the government wouldn't build their own. They technically did, they just made it pretty much impossible to find it. Broken links, hid it from search indexes etc.

The measure of how much value YOU generate for YOURSELF is how much you get paid.

But generally, if you can generate a lot of value for the company, and demonstrate it, you will go far, and you will make much more money, especially if you can do it consistently and threaten to leave.

Doing a jira ticket in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours, then spending the extra time watching youtube is fine, but how about becoming a manager, making 3x as much money, and spending 100% of your time watching youtube? Or better yet, watching movies in first class on the plane to the "strategic conference" in Hawaii.
FOSSjobs: Resources for getting paid in open source
I mean this seriously, dispassionately, and without insult to Python, but this isn't used more broadly because if you're in a "counting microseconds", you shouldn't have chosen Python in the first place, and you ought to be seriously considering getting whatever you're having this sort of performance issue with out of Python entirely. Python qua Python is so slow already that while a quick profile and some low-fruit plucking can be a quick win if you've never done it before, if you need something to go fast you need to get out of Python. The time you save with this technique is almost instantly eaten by all the other slow thing in Python.

Precisely because that's such a great need, there's a lot of ways to do it, beyond the obvious "use another language directly". There's Ye Olde write a C extension. There's Cython, and a family of techniques there. There's trying to use PyPy. There's a whole array of more exotic things, if you do some searching around on the web, which may work for you. If you are in a "counting microseconds" situation, all of these are going to pay off much better than trying to squeeze Python.

I include the first few words of my post here because I do not mean this as an "insult" or a slag on Python. It is simply something that people need to understand when they choose solutions to their problem. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Python has many advantages, but one of its most noticeable disadvantages is that if you just naively and simply program Python, you end up working in the slowest class of languages. You can also slow down your code much more than you may realize if you pile the abstractions on too heavily. This isn't something you should process through a "rah rah! / booo!" "my team" filter, this is engineering facts on the ground.
Turning the AC or heating completely off when you're not at home is never recommended. To save power, you just let them run at temperatures a few degrees outside your comfort zone when your away, and it will still have enough thermal inertia to quickly get back to comfort levels when you're back without the risk of condensation/mold.

Where I live, this is even written in my rental agreement, that when I leave home for long winter vacations, I must leave the heating ON.
