> serious work requires sacrifice and some burnout is inevitable

Well, the Navy Seals, who know a thing or two about high stress and deadly serious work, popularized the expression "slow is smooth and smooth is fast."

But unless you're an emergency room doctor or defending Ukraine or developing the next COVID19 vaccine, come on, nothing you're doing is that important.

What you're describing is not a thing that most organizations have any real need for, it's a culture of fake emergencies.
This is the closest to what OP is asking. This course is easily digestible for anyone without a background in finance.
It's going to be fascinating to watch this play out over the next few years. Google will have 3.1 million sqft of space in Manhattan when it's done building out its most recent acquisition [0].

This may be an opportunity for companies who need technical teams, but aren't able to compensate at FAANG levels, to compete.

Apparently there's a second edition out as of last year (2021). Ousterhout has a page about it describing the difference between the two editions and a download for those (like me) who have read the first and don't necessarily want to purchase another copy that's not totally different. One new chapter, one reworked chapter, and two new sections comparing his philosophy against Clean Code.

So it's not a smash hit, but it's not a failure either. In game development, any game that makes a profit is a success; that's just how our business is.
look at how swatting and welfare checks work out.

the abuse mode of such a system would be horrible, being declared mentally ill and perhaps incarcerated in a psych hold, having your reputation destroyed by the stigma, and systemic overtures
I disagree. Jaywalking was outlawed because the auto industry successfully lobbied lawmakers using specifically moral (if flawed) arguments, like:

"Cars are dangerous but helpful to people, people's lives are valuable, let's protect human life by outlawing randomly walking across the street where cars are."

The moral assumption that argument is asking lawmakers to accept is that human life is valuable. The argument is flawed and mostly wrong otherwise, but it's the moral component that makes it compelling.

It's the same with pro-choice laws. They're compelling to many people because of the moral assumptions we're asked to accept -- specifically the bodily autonomy of the woman, among other things.

Why should pro-life arguments be the only ones not allowed to be based on morality?
Well trying to get unfiltered information in a censored country _would_ be a crime.
You mean easy to argue? The lab workers would get no remote days per week due to their jobs. The workers who can be fully remote are being forced back.

The Texas GOP has nothing to do with this Supreme Court decision though. Nobody disputes that religious people tend to be against abortion, but a lot of non-religious people are as well, just from a logical standpoint.

There is no scientific basis to support the idea that a 38 week old fetus isn't viable or that it somehow only gains sentience once it passes through the birth canal. So then you have to draw a line somewhere, a line which will likely change over time as medical advancements occur - and so that is a matter for legislatures to handle.

There just isn't a constitutional basis for Roe, and all defenses of it are based on emotion not logic.
Never heard of "steelmanning" before.

My first thought was, things have gotten so bad with public discourse, that we need a new word for arguing respectfully and in good faith, as opposed to whatever sad state of affairs now passes as "normal" discourse.
I agree fully with this. I'm currently at a small company (which has a different set of challenges), but my experience is that large employers come up with flavor-of-the-year useless metrics in an attempt to measure progress towards goals and productivity.

Hi,

My name is Dasha. I have about a year of experience mostly working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, TypeScript and Styled Components. During my internship at Spread Rest, I gained hands-on experience working with other engineers. Please see my CV attached and check my GitHub https://github.com/kitsunne or personal webpagehttps://kitsunne.netlify.app/ for more details.
It might seem exhausting, or annoying, or overly descriptive... but it is true and I find it hard to dispute.
If you don't tolerate this level of being made fun of, you should probably stay in your moms basement. Calling the post harmful to any degree, is disrespectful of people actually experiencing harm.
If you looked at 'average people' versus 'criminals' you'll find that there's a much higher demand for privacy/anonymous communication among the criminals. That isn't to say that normal folk don't want privacy too.

The end result is that if you're one of few company that offer privacy to your customers you'll find your customer base has a higher ratio of criminals as they'll all flock to you.
The time component is always implicit in both a vanilla short position or a synthetic option-based short. It's just easier to "see" in vanilla options, because it's priced in explictly. If you don't want to pay the cost up front by using long-dated options, just buy short-dated ones and roll them. The costs are likely similar as long as you construct the synthetic short position correctly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Put–call_parity

i.e. When you short a vanilla equity, you'll likely have transaction cost of borrowing the stock as an interest rate over time. This cost is incurred as you keep the position open. This cost is related to the cost of capital for the shares you've borrowed. Cost of capital is an implicit cost on time.

To construct a synthetic short (using options/bonds), you basically short a synthetic equity. A synthetic equity can be constructed through a long call position, short put position, and long bond position. This synthetic will mostly replicate the the stock's return. To turn it into a synthetic short, you just do the reverse, short a call, long a put, and short a bond.

i know what the water is for i'm saying there is no need to release the steam and have to pump additional water for cooling; you can also use radiators to cool water down etc. as i said the additional water and steam stacks are a quick and easy method for cooling when a water source is nearby. there are other options that can be used when water isn't available.
Those 5-10min to setup my PSVR is a high tax to pay when I have maybe 30mins to play something.

I think if you frame that as an roi, the marginal benefit as a worker would really have to outweigh the cost. If I was being scouted by a company, which I'm not, the offer would have to be extremely compelling, because it's just not in me to commute and be on time for shit.
I didn’t imply that they are not GPL compliant. I stated it directly. I’m not interested in onyx’s products because they are a shitty company. I don’t have the time, energy, resources or motivations to improve a shitty company. I do have the time, energy, resources and motivation to share this singular fact with others so they can make their own choice about which companies they support.
The watercooler comment resonates: i keep hearing it as justification to be back in-person and even in cases where i feel i've ha da productive watercooler conversation, it has very rarely resulted in anything crucial or important emerge from it.
Businesses have problems that need solving (using technology): it is unlikely that the problem is identified at a watercooler (or other metaphorical equivalents) or the solution is identified in a one hour in-person meeting. One might 'feel' that the outcome from the quickly made decision in the 1-hr meeting was useful, but thats questionable too.
It is just software. The only thing PureOS does it not ship with the firmware necessary to make those proprietary hardware components work out of the box. It's essentially Debian but without the non-free repo. Nothing stops you from making PureOS work on hardware with proprietary firmware if you want to. It isn't locked to only work on libre hardware, it's just a bit more tedious.

Do they offer templates? I couldn't find any mention of it in their docs.

As in, I write a template in mailpace.com with {{foobar}} placeholders, and make an API hit with the vars to replace.

Time is felt differently at different points in our life, even within an individual’s experience. When you pay more attention to the passage of time itself, it appears to elapse more slowly. When you don’t pay attention, it appears to elapse more quickly.

Yes, I would absolutely accept that we all perceive time at different rates, but where we externally synchronize with measured “seconds”, we don’t have any way to communicate that my “second” may subjectively feel longer than your “second”. Similar to how we can’t really describe what “red” looks like to someone else, without using the word “red”.
But... builders do speak different languages. Plumbing, electrical, framing, drywall, painting, flooring, finishing, foundation pouring, hvac, landscaping, ... these are all very different fields with people that specialize in a narrow subset. And sometimes they do have miscommunications that screw things up because they don't all understand what everyone else needs.
> No one. No one is seriously looking at the Russell 3000 and comparing it to the Wilshire 5000.

People compare indices all the time to assess relative performance (e.g. Russell to NASDAQ) or HY credit to IG.

Response to edits:

> I'm talking about two total market indices, apples to apples, and you're talking about apples to oranges. NASDAQ is a stock exchange, not an index.

NASDAQ composite is one of the most commonly referenced indices. There's also NASDAQ 100, on which one of the largest ETFs in the world (QQQ) is based.

> Further still, even if you were talking about the NASDAQ composite, they're two entirely different indices. They do not have the same goals.

That's why people compare indices -- they're interested in evaluating different aspects of the market.

> There isn't much meaning between comparing two or more indices that have the same goals and constituents. You're only tracking the differences between constituents at that point, and you wouldn't need beta to do that. You could just calculate the difference between the constituents that are not a part of the total set.

Weightings? An equal weighted index will reflect increased contribution from smaller companies versus a market cap weighting (compare ETFs SPY/RSP). Same constituents, different emphasis.
Whoever did this is a Chelsea Manning-tier hero. As long as the conservatives keep ratfucking democracy and human rights, they do not deserve the quarter afforded by the usual closed-door processes.
I think you are correct for a large portion of this, however, I will remain hopeful for a different viewpoint winning in the end. I tend toward evaluating a language's usefulness exactly in respect to the individual using it.

I understand the network effects and 'community' benefits of large/non-fizzled languages, but I want to believe that a language that makes an individual programmer happier, more productive, better able to meet engineering goals, or whatever metric they seek to increase through choosing one language over another, is the language they should be using.

I remain hopeful for a heterogeneous approach to language usage in the future, where multiple engineers working on those applications can utilize a language which they determine is best for them. I think this could results in multiple languages which all compile to a well defined target language, via well specified semantics for the source language transformation. I know this is almost the idea behind the JVM or CLR, and is similar to many languages transpiling to C. I would like to see an environment cultivated to support this from the ground up and grow from there.
So where should the line be drawn? Should abortions at 39 weeks be legal? If not, what restrictions should be placed on them?
There is size in terms of the dollar spend and then there is the number of people involved.

These folks say current spend on EDA tools is a bit over $10 billion

https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/electron...

This other report claims spend on software development tools is closer to $4B today.

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/04/19/242414...

Frankly I don't know if those numbers are accurate but I am pretty sure there are many more people employed developing software than in developing microchips by a large margin. On the other hand, a lot of people develop software with no-cost tools such as GCC, Eclipse, Xcode, Visual Studio Code, ...

My guess is that the software market is open to disruptive innovation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation

but EDA isn't.

I think there is a big market for programming languages that are strong in some areas but weak in others. For instance, Python is pretty slow compared to C, but that doesn't bother many users. Since Python has become so popular it has, over time, closed that gap with tools like numpy, numba, Cython, Pypy, etc.

A company like Intel, on the other hand, is going to need high performance from their parts and the tools that make them. In principle they might like the idea of something that's built on a better foundation, but today they need all the features of the tools they have.

There might be some customer that would benefit from new EDA tools with potential to grow in the future that could tolerate tools that aren't mature in every respect -- that's the opportunity for something new.
As someone who was once a huge semantic web advocate, in retrospect there are so many issues with semweb which make it obvious it was never going to succeed.

For starters, just like XML is a poor, verbose re-implementation of s-expressions (I still love Erik Naggum's rant on this topic [0]), RDF is an equally verbose reimplementation of Prolog clauses. During the early 2000s many technologies, myself included, where infected with some sort of weird mind virus that made us think reimplementing everything in human readable markup derived from SGML was a great thing. Prolog already had problems succeeding, there is no reason to believe a more difficult to implement version would succeed.

Then there's the issue that for a true semantic web you need armies of people creating trustworthy metadata. Even if you have tools to autogenerate RDF (like we do for semantic metatags today), you're not going to have a really interesting "web" of data without massive amounts of selfless labor. That selfless part is important because there's no monetary advantage to producing tons of well curated RDF... look at how much effort website put into resisting screen scraping.

Additionally you have Prolog clauses without Prolog's reasoning power!. SPARQL is just a query language, not a tool for automated reasoning. The OWL spec started with a definition of a reasoning engine that was computationally intractable. The idea of running Prolog on a web of clauses is compelling but to this day we don't have a reasoning engine. The closest thing would be to just load wikidata into SWI-Prolog.

In a surprising number of ways Semweb shares the same problem that crypto does: a distributed, public, trusted, cryptographically ensured immutable ledger is a very interesting technical solution. However in practice there are almost no problems for which it is the correct solution. The vast majority of Semweb "solutions" can also be solve with relational databases and a public facing API.

Its interesting that DNS doesn't come up more often as the solution here. Owning a domain (or subdomain) seems a whole lot easier than most of the other "decentralized" solutions that get discussed. And if DNS is too centralized for you then something like ENS can replace it without needing very many changes to the rest of the stack.
How are your returns compared to those of a passive S&P 500 investor over the past decade?
I'm pretty sure we will see an appetite for transition to the 4 day work week.

Most people will find some paycut (10-20%) acceptable in exchange for increasing their free time by 50% (2 day weekend -> 3 day weekend).

Most companies will find the 10-20% reduction in a very large expense (payroll) attractive in the current tightening economic conditions.

I would be surprised if there was any productivity loss as a result of this, people will feel better, more valued, and will perform equally as well. It's not like you can really clock out of a software job especially in the remote world, so days off are more important.

> "I had thought that TPB was blocked because of court orders.
> So how come one ISP blocks it, and other doesn't?"

The court order[1] had 6 defined defendants:

- BRITISH SKY BROADCASTING LIMITED
- BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLC
- EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE LIMITED
- TALKTALK TELECOM GROUP PLC
- TELEFÓNICA UK LIMITED
- VIRGIN MEDIA LIMITED

The court order only affected the listed ISPs (at that time, 94% share of the consumer ISP market). Other ISPs were under no obligation to do the same.

There's a book on this topic, it's called Boys Adrift, by Dr. Leonard Sax. I highly recommend it. It's been a while since I read it but some of the dynamics he talks about are:

1. The age at which children start school has gradually lowered. This has reached a point where ~80% of boys and ~20% of girls do not have the brain maturity to pay attention (boy brains mature at a different schedule from girl brains). The result is that teachers will group classes with young students into two groups: one that is mentally ready to play the educational games and the other group that can play freestyle. Kids no matter what age are very good at learning who the "dumb" group is, even though teachers never / almost never have a negative attitude towards the group that isn't ready to learn. This causes children to think, "The teacher hates me" which causes them to hate school.

2. Schools tend to have extreme punishments towards any kind of violence, even healthy violence. E.g., banning snowball fights. This also creates an environment that is bad for ~80% of the boys and ~20% of the girls, who want to have fun this way.

3. Even intellectual discussions of violence are frowned on. The author received awards when he was a child for writing a story about a man who was trying to escape East Germany and ended up getting both his legs blown off. Nowadays it's hard to imagine anything other than that child getting detention / the police called on them / counseling / etc. This frowning on discussions of violence again causes harm, but a disproportionate amount of harm is experienced by the boys.
That's not correct.

We (in the US anyway) feed a massive quantity of unspent (not brewery mash for example) grains when finishing cattle in feedlots. Corn, barley, milo, soybeans etc along with harvested forages like alfalfa and sorghum (which is often fed as silage).

People do feed brewery mash and other byproducts but that isn't most of what goes into feedlot rations nationwide.

Abrams was an interesting (read: poor) choice for the final film, because he's famous for setting up compelling plots and not sticking the landing. See: Lost. His whole "mystery box" thing is great at pulling in viewers, but he's never been able to come up with something that works when he's forced to finally open the box.

Amusing juxtaposition in critical reception:

It doesn't have to be giant. If HTML5 were actually versioned then you could just roll extensions into the base standard every few years. In practice people do that anyway in an ad-hoc manner. After a while enough browsers have implemented something for long enough that people stop feature testing.
There is a big improvement between only getting higher density construction on a lagging basis with demand and not getting higher density construction at all. California is its own special hell of non-building that few parts of the world compare to.
Seems like an interesting project, but so far the UX isn't great.

The searching UI for companies has no loading or success/failure indicators. A note on performance - waiting an extra second before firing the search request can help take some of the load off the server, along with cancelling requests after I change the search.

Some requests time out, and others return no results (e.g. HOOD, TLRY).

For other requests that returned results, there's no correlation (Apple).

Maybe an example page could be helpful to illustrate what the app can do?
