I'm late 40s gamer, and been through a lot of this. My key to this, is pretty much only playing games that have defined endings. Keeps me away from MMOs, and FPS shooters with seasonal/ladder systems. This has helped a lot. I occasionally relapse but I'm very mindful of it, since I've been in the grip of EVE addiction so badly haha. best of luck
Or we could have seen this coming a mile away and built more houses and reduced the idiocy of city zoning.

But yeah it’s the immigrants fault. Lets reduce immigration while we are facing a labor shortage.
I have a friend who insists on including a photo of himself on his resume. I've told him countless times that there's no point unless he's applying to a modeling job, and this article just serves to confirm that opinion.

I've found the part about the cover letter to ring true. I just got hired after 13 months of interview processes for different positions. The cover letter seemed to have no bearing on whether or not I got hired. In fact, the less effort I put into the cover letter the better I did in the interview process. For the job I got, I literally wrote a casual "Hey, I really want to work for you" paragraph on indeed.
I think that this 'incarnation' of Novaya is also not based in Russia.
Agreed. Except it's the quiet intro-psychos that are the most dangerous.
You can also get denied and get kicked out, it's not a guaranteed process AFAIK IANAL.
> Natural immunity works. It's settled science, and has been for some time.

What exactly do you mean by "works"?

I mean, it's well established that those who contract COVID and didn't died from it will have a good immunity response for subsequent infections.

But that is not the point of a vaccine, is it?

The point of the vaccine is that it trains your immune system to fight an infection without undergoing the risk of a real infection. So that the odds you die from COVID are lower, if not residual.

Consequently, we see the bulk of all deaths from COVID comprised of unvaccinated individuals.

But other than all the dead, those who survive a COVID infection do end up with an immune system that is able to handle COVID.

Is that what you mean by "Natural immunity works"? That if you ignore all those unvaccinated people who died then the ones that lived through a COVID infection didn't died?

Because the whole point of a vaccine is that people don't have to die from a preventable disease, isn't it?

Serious? Maybe. Or not. I have titanium, steel, plastic, amalgum(sp), ceramic, graphite, and possibly glass inside my body. Pretty sure I got some asbestos, synthetic fibers, cotton and wool fibers, etc from various jobs. Plus plenty of smoke, washed with carcingenic solvents, inhaled quantities of dust...

Isn‘t identity always context-dependent and fuzzy? I live in Bavaria, so for other Germans I‘m Bavarian. For other Europeans I am German and sometimes Central European. For Americans and most especially Asians I am European.
This gave mixed results in helping me break my online chess addiction. Some games its too easy to recreate an account. Blocking myself from the website helped deal with habitually opening the site whenever I felt bored, so I would try uninstalling first, just to add a bit of resistance.

feel like the root problem companies run into when you don't have monorepo is shit gets locked down - e.g. I didn't even know this repo existed b/c I couldn't see it/clone it b/c of permissions. the other thing is lets say we have microservices - now I need to call your service - and most places are terrible at documenting things - especially if it's a new service which it probably is I'm trying to connect w/ it for the first time - now I have to figure out how to call your service - I can do that on my own my cloning your project and reading the code and bugging you but I'm way more less likely to bug you if it's part of the mono and I just need to open the code in the existing probject. I think this leads to a second point is mono does lead to more consistency and better knowledge sharing across codebases.
If you think that they're dishonest with you, then ... play that dishonest game with them: you can tell them that you accept that onsite job and will be in the office at that time on that day. On the day that you're supposed to be in the office, you tell them that their office is too far and you cannot go there. They'll let you go and will also have to spend all the time and effort to find another person for your position. After a few times like that, they'll realize that it's better to be frank at the beginning.
For sure, I was one of those preallocated folks. That said, bootcamp allocation is far and away the most common way people get assigned to teams. Good point in not focusing too much on it, so many people switch teams in their own every 1-2 years on their own.
The idea is because it's happening at scale. If you're getting hundreds or thousands of customers per day, the likelihood of this happening gets lower by some statistical proportion, especially if you don't have the organic exposure.

Also, definition of working: You make more than you spend, and if you stop the ads, you stop making as much.

That said, I'm not arguing for 100% accuracy either. It's certainly not. Simply that it's possible to be more accurate than not, which leads to profitability.

One more also- a comment above about how I failed to mention I'm not talking about paid search ads so much as other types like FB, YouTube, banners, etc.
Religion is slightly different though, they claim actual direct truth (not mere truth of implication given certain assumptions) which makes their claims more interesting but prevents them from claiming automatic objective truth. The Formal Gospel would go, "If God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, ..." ;)

There is a Slack, of course. I've found people quite slow to reply so far.

Expecting a new hire to initiate is pretty unrealistic imo. Even in an office, leaders should be encouraging employees to reach out to the new hire and make that connection. In person new hires would be getting a team lunch of some kind at most companies I've ever worked at, some kind of scheduled time to meet and interact with people.

I don't see why remote should be different really. Onboarding should be a hands on process for the whole team to participate in, remote or not.

So, yes. I am kind of wondering if this is a bigger problem or if once I have stuff to work on things will improve.
No one has ever extracted uranium from seawater. Why not? Because it costs a lot more. But nukes are already not economically competitive. Making the fuel cost more makes them even less attractive.
> I don’t know the specifics on Canadian real estate market and the specifics of the problems there, but based on my understanding of the problems facing your neighbors to the south - I feel like it’s almost an attempt to appease citizens by blaming the issue on “foreigners” (always a move that is popular with politicians) to redirect attention from the much more likely cause - massive investments made by hedge funds, private capital, REITs which does not appear to be addressed at all?

Can you not do this and also seek to identify hedge funds, private capital, REITs, and other entities which may be more difficult to regulate at a later time? Maybe this first piece of legislation is the quick win?

Are you saying that foreigners who do not reside at all in Canada should be able to buy a primary home in Canada? Because that's what this bill is preventing. If you're a "foreigner" it's not relevant so long as you're actually a resident of Canada.
How do you manage versions / tags with monorepo? If you need to tag something ( a lib ) everyone gets the same, the entire repo now has a tag v0.0.1 eventhough only your library changed.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'm a U.S. citizen, but I have had friends that were not, and I was horrified to hear the stories of how companies (that I worked for at the time as well) were using that 'leverage'.

I will no longer work for those sorts of companies.
A populist policy that amounts to pissing into the wind. Canada's rising real estate prices has a simple cause: demand far outstrips supply. The demand isn't driven by foreign investors. It's driven by a 1.1% annual population growth rate, the majority of which is immigration.

I am one of these migrants. Canada's immigration system recruits high-skilled workers and many of the fast track programmes require that you demonstrate a minimum proof of funds in the tens of thousands of dollars (multiples of the average Canadian's liquid savings).

High-skilled workers aren't moving to Canada to live in the abundant land of northern Manitoba. They're moving here to live in areas with relatively high opportunity: Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal if they speak French. Housing demand is concentrated in those areas and surrounding regions.

There isn't a matching desire to build homes at a pace that outstrips immigration. Interestingly, total number of dwellings in Canada has grown by ~1% annually over the last 5 years. On the surface, that looks to match the immigration rate (1.1%), but both those numbers are for the whole of Canada. The majority of immigrants move to one of the main cities, whereas new homes are much more geographically spread.

TL;DR: increase homes or decrease people, everything else is pointless.
Fair comment. I think we can agree there are case where such things can be used to great effect but that there also are businesses throwing money around and hoping something sticks.

One big mistake businesses make is seeing another business doing something and assuming it must be working. Which is one of the points the OP was making.
That “flow state” you describe is honestly the thing I seek out most when playing games. It’s hard to find a game that generates the feeling for me, but once I do find one, I’m in heaven. The most recent game that managed to do this for me was Elden Ring, and I love it for that.

There is a fine line between addiction and simply enjoying a hobby. You need to identify where that is. We have a finite amount of time to work with in our lives, and how you allocate that is up to you. Once your hobbies start infringing on things you feel you should be prioritizing (e.g. friends, family, career), it’s time to reevaluate how much time you spend with that hobby. It’s entirely possible to have a healthy relationship with video games while still keeping up with your other obligations, you just need to be cognizant of your time.
Reddit, too.

I kind of miss forums being the place where most discussion took place.
Thank you for mentioning that, I'll add it soon!
What’s with the hate? Let the man do his research. It’s not tax payer dollars. The number of tax-dollar paid academics who are doing research as “useless” as his (useless defined by the haters) vastly outnumber the ones at Wolfram.
I find it pretty hard here in France to find a media with a pro-market, small-governement stance. Basically the whole press is statist. L'Opinion and Les Echos are somewhat the least worst.

You're definitely allowed to use the internet but there are very strict rules on data collection. I think the intent is to keep people under 13 from using the internet socially or being exposed to the data collection/PR/ad machines.
> The headings clearly stuck out, you were able to quickly scan them and determine you didn't care to read the details.

That's not what happened. What happened was that after trying to scan a few headings of your page, I was so put off by the site design that I didn't even bother trying to figure out from the content of the headings whether I wanted to read the details. So your site design prevented me from doing what you describe.
Some of us actually like working from the office.

I could just buy a rack and make a home gym but the actual gym is better for a number of reasons, same with the office.

It's a dedicated place. My home is for relaxation.
>When they pointed out they had been hired as remotes they were met with a collective shrug - the job opening didn't say remote, the agreement they signed didn't say remote. The recruiter was wrong but that's not the company's problem.

One thing they can do is stay enough so that the company has spent funds training them, while they're not productive yet, and then quit.
Alas, no, ruby. Does the "blue card process" require a job offer? Looks like yes, good to know that if you have that, it can be done. https://www.germany-visa.org/immigration-residence-permit/eu...

I wonder where I'd find software job postings in Germany (or possibly other EU) that are suitable for blue card (looks like salary must be sufficient, possibly other requirements).

It is increasingly apparent to me that the USA is a fully broken society, and a dangerous place to live.
I got an air quality meter and I was shocked at how clear of a difference just boiling a pot of water on the stovetop makes.

Companies with more intrinsically motivated people seem to do better with WFH, companies with mostly extrinsically motivated people seem to do worse with WFH, that is just my personal observation. Even big tech companies have tons of extrinsically motivated people, people who grinded exam prep for a year to join FAANG just to become a cog in the machine doing not very interesting work, i'm sure there are tons of those people.
Oh no I think my lambda is dying - I didn't expect this to blow up LOL let me fix that!
Maybe this isn't obvious to frosted-flakes, or to some other readers:

The propeller on a prop plane can be attached to either a piston or a jet engine. (Or mostly in smaller or experimental planes, an electric motor)

So, in the example of Porter, those are Dash-8s and that's a jet engine. Yes it has the propellers on the front like those old-timey aeroplanes you saw in black and white, but you'll notice that the propellers are on the front of a jet engine. See, the engine needs spinning blades inside it to work, compressing air to run the engine, but you can choose whether to expend the resulting energy on producing yet more spinning motion for propellers (a turboprop engine) or to shove lots of fast air out of the back (a turbofan engine)

A jet engine does not use leaded gasoline, that would be crazy. Whether it is spinning a propeller or just shoving fast moving air out the back, the jet engine runs on kerosene. This is still nasty stuff, but it does not have lead in it.
That’s been the main focus of most research I’ve seen in headlines[0], and indeed the important difference between “eternal life” and “eternal youth” has been something people have understood since Gilgamesh, circa 2100 BC.

> For instance, water boils at around 70-80c in Nepal

That's not completely false, but it quite misleading.

It's true that the boiling point on the top of Everest at just under 9000m is just under 70C. The boiling point only drops to 80C at 6000m, which is very high even for Nepal.

But the average elevation of Nepal is just over 3000m, where the boiling point is just under 90C. Kathmandu is at 1400m, with a boiling point around 95C. And the low point in Nepal is less than 100m above sea level, where the boiling point is pretty close to 100C.
What helped me to finally break my addiction is to sell my gaming account in black market for $.
Personally I've blocked reddit on my pihole when I'm working and want to force myself to not get distracted (e.g., it's too easy to "just check it for a minute" while waiting for something to build or download, etc.). Of course I'm here, but I find HN less addictive and tend to waste less time here.

You may find doing something similar - block the main domain for your game at your router. Of course it's easy to undo but it's yet another check that you place against yourself so you don't revert to old behaviors.

If you find yourself getting into the same habits but playing/doing something else instead you should think about what is causing you to get into those habits. Maybe talk to a therapist or someone else in your life for help.

Monorepo is one of the features I really like in FreeBSD. It makes adding functionality that goes across layers - eg adding a syscall implementation, its manual page, libc stub, and making use of it in some userspace component - trivial, compared to the hurdles necessary in the Linux world, where you'd need to interact with kernel folks, libc folks, some random userspace project folks, and then wait until it goes into distributions.
Oh I don't mean "switch to Go". I mean if you're already using Go, it's easier to use the Go runtime than the Docker runtime.
please add option to use the old.reddit.com domain. the new Reddit frontend is an unmitigated disaster.
> Is there, say, IntelliJ support for Bazel?

there is, but it heavily depends on language. It also has issues/makes choices with transitive resolves for things like java/kotlin, so you might have something that builds but the depencency is not resolved in intellij for autocomplete.
AMP[1] is a (somewhat maligned) Google 'standard' which encourages a 'thin' version of sites with minimal assets and fast load times so that Google can display them in a sort of iframe-like context without the user actually having to leave the Google site (part of why it's maligned). Most site's AMP versions are lightweight and bypass any login/paywall because they want Google to show the rich results of this page. I'm guessing this person is interested in you using the AMP versions of Reddit which may be lighter, zippier, and not require login. I'm not sure if it's possible for a third party to display an AMP page the way Google does, though -- maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As always...your company or project is only as good as the security you have. If you keep the most important private key in a non-air gapped location that can be hacked then it's not a matter of if, but when it will happen.
I've worked for 4 companies in the U.S. and they only sent Employment offers/letters/agreements that I had to sign. Didn't see the word contract in any of them.
I cold-turkey quit multiplayer games in my late 20s because I just can't control myself. I think it's the only real option in this case.

Ideally you can find other things that bring you fulfillment which is easier said than done. I discovered that I could completely ween off gaming and Netflix by cycling between audiobooks and podcasts while I go for a walk or run. Sometimes I'll be gone for hours, and I'm quite happy with the habit because every part of it works towards my goals in life: learning new things and staying in shape. Meanwhile gaming worked against all my life ambitions: sitting for hours, credentializing in a system that brings me no lasting fulfillment.

Your post reminds me of what I went through when I decided to quit multiplayer gaming. After a few months I started asking myself if I could just do it a little bit instead of letting it consume me. But I think it was just my addicted side trying to justify giving it another shot. You might be doing that here.

Good luck.
No it's not a degradation. It puts Ctrl in a sane place much easier to reach with your pinky. And if you really were going to use your thumb on the left control, then it's about the same distance to the Caps Lock key.

"Not even wrong, but still making all these grand claims about revolutionizing everything" is a bit worse than just "not even wrong", though.

I mean, take quantum loop gravity. It might revolutionize, not everything, but quite a bit. Last I checked, it was as the same stage - not mature enough to make actual predictions. But it was touting itself as "there might be something here, and if there is, it could be really important", not as "we hold the secrets to everything".

I guess what I'm looking for is "under promise, over deliver". When you over promise your scientific theory, it stops looking like science and starts looking like marketing. That's... you know what a code smell is? That's a science smell. The more it looks like marketing, the more skeptical I am of it as science.
I disagree that unleaded is better for engines. These engines were designed for leaded gas; the lead serves a necessary lubricating function. That doesn't mean there will not be an alternative, or even a possible modification to the engines.

What little lead fouling I have seen has been on plugs from running too rich a mix, and that can usually be "burned off" easily, or cleaned manually.
I don't know about Canada, but in the US there are some tax law changes that could drastically reduce 'land hoarding' and help encourage excess capital to flow into construction of new properties rather than rent seeking.

Right now 1031 exchanges mean real estate over many other types of investment are tax advantaged, (I can't do the same thing with my stock for instance) and doubly so for places that put caps on property taxes.

The US (and canada?) should heavily tax capital gains on land appreciation for all but your primary residence, at the same time it would give tax incentives on capital gains for constructing new units.

Right now excess capital is encouraged by multiple tax laws to just play the rent seeking game waiting for land appreciation while others do the hard work of causing an area's land to become more valuable.
Yeah, in my experience Bazel is painful, but I've prototyped my own build system before. There's no fundamental reason it has to be a pain, I think Bazel just made really strange decisions and didn't pay much thought to helping people find the happy path. When I looked into it at least, the documentation seemed to assume you've used Bazel or something like it before.

Jenkins isn't a solution because it doesn't understand the dependency graph and can't help you with things like incremental rebuilds. It's just a task runner component, which a distributed build tool would probably offer out of the box.

I have personally run converted build systems to Bazel, and use it for personal projects as well.

Bazel 1.0 was released in October 2019. If you were using it "a few years ago", I'm guessing you were using a pre-1.0 version. There's not some cutoff where Bazel magically got easy to use, and I still wouldn't describe it as "easy", but the problem it solves is hard to solve well, and the community support for Bazel has gotten a lot better over the past years.

https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python

The difficulty and complexity of using Bazel is highly variable. I've seen some projects where using Bazel is just super simple and easy, and some projects where using Bazel required a massive effort (custom toolchains and the like).
