In my experience it’s that I tend to forget the first half of the learning curve and bring expectations and assumptions to the subject which I didn’t have when I first started my career.

Just like when learning a new spoken language resulted in me having two worlds of understanding and only later built the mappings between the two, which is why jargon is such a challenge.

So I try and learn without productivity and external expectations and by using curiousity.
I absolutely agree that this is a thing that needs to be solved. I cobbled together my own solution using undocumented bits of the Solo firmware[1], but that's not nearly usable enough for average users.

But here's the problem: outside of the hype bubbles, cryptocurrency stuff does not have a good reputation. If the only thing that supports this markets itself as a cryptocurrency wallet, that is going to hurt adoption. People generally do not buy devices in which they actively do not want the main feature.

(I did remind myself of DiceKeys[2] while looking through my notes to find [1], but that has its own problems, such as "oh god what are you doing why does this involve OCRing a photograph of dice on my phone".)

So many of these ideas are some other vision in disguise.

Cars are bad, you see, and therefore, let's pick some irrelevant problem (parking lots), and conflate it with housing issues.

First, most places have zero housing issues. Mostly, certain tiny areas(with large populations) of California do, but the rest of North America has no shortage of land to build on.

And unlike California, most of the world doesn't seem to have issues with zoning for new builds.

In fact, in most of NA housing is quite affordable, with the exception of a current bubble, which exists due to COVID issues, a once in a century event.

This has only been going on for a year or so, and is already starting to cool.

Californians: a note. Your issues are not nation wide.

Others: stop trying to solve other pet peeves, by conflating issues. I assure you, you just end up sounding uninformed.
I am not quite sure if that's your point but math articles, and CS articles to some extend, don't rely on experiments to the same extend as other fields. A mathematical proof doesn't have to be reproduced but verified. It will be a huge step forward when an AI can automatically verify proofs beyond the already used proof systems but that should be unrelated to reproducing experiments.

What I am missing are open source repositories, docker images and virtual machines for all CS papers. Why is it acceptable to publish papers without enabling everybody else to instantly reproduce it when it is technically possible?
The mistake that a lot of "technique x" aficiandos make seems to often be that the technique has to be 100% complete or it's completely worthless.

In this case, there's a claim that python isn't actually REPL-based because you cannot change state while in an exception handler. Yes, that's kinda true, but there are debuggers for python that if you really need to can do a lot of that.

Other notable examples of this are type system maximalists. E.g. Go: no sum types or generics (until recently). Rust:
no HKTs. Python: no runtime checks (I actually sometimes think this :)).
It's not a real concept.. it's just a meme. There's no "pass" that will grant you anything, and if there is a black person who says such a silly thing to a white person it's just shenanigans. Still won't change the context of the white person using the N-word after that anyway, especially it's historical context in the US.
Also what I surely find interesting is that I only ever hear white people talk about an "N-word pass"...
Thanks for sharing this. It's good to remember that even relatively pragmatic languages like PHP often deprecate syntax features simply because they're "inferior" to another syntax feature.
Why would taxation "destroy money" in times of endless deficits? All that taxed money, and much more on top, is spent before it's even received.
Just to clarify where the original numbers came from...

The claim you are responding to: 1 liter of oil ~ 3 days of human energy output.

Energy in a liter of oil: about 30 megajoules.

Human base metabolic rate: below 100 watt. Let's say 100 watt. 1 watt = 1 joule/second.

30 MJ / 100 joules/second = 300000 seconds = about 3.5 days. So the original claim is correct in that sense

edit: Now, this doesn't mean you can get the same benefit from a human laboring for 3 days non-stop as you could get from 1 liter of oil. This is just the energy required by the human body to stay alive. Any additional useful energy output would be on top of that, and humans can only sustain a small amount of additional power for long. That's why your references seem to disagree.

Though you will really get that 100 watt from a human in the form of heat, which is why that number needs to be used when designing airco systems.
Wikipedia: "A commodity is an economic good (...) that has full or substantial fungibility. (...)"

On the basis of geography alone, housing can not be a commodity.
Ah hmm, that's interesting. How have lotteries for highly desired goods worked out in other centrally planned regimes? Did we find a pretty broad socioeconomic distribution among dacha owners in the USSR?

On the keyboard i use F3 all the time, I almost never alt-tab. When I'm on my macbook and have access to the track pad i of course do three-fingers up for it.

I also use cmd + 1 (2, 3, 4, 5 ...) to change workspaces. I have all my chats (telegram, discord and signal) on desktop 1, general web browsing on desktop 2, coding related stuff on desktop 3 and music on desktop 4. So changing between these quickly is really important.

Other than that, I don't really use any other shortcuts.
The UI/UX is the crux of the problem for me, and infact, the same problem with Amazon Prime.

They both have fantastic shows and films, I know because i've seen some of them, but they NEVER seem to show up in app. Instead, I get endless scrolling of the same shows I skip over every time.

The algo doesn't seem to learn (Not to say it doesn't but the perception). The UI doesn't have enough unique elements to drive the algo. What I mean is if I tend to watch 20min comedy shows between 9-11pm. Create me some blocks of shows that meet this criteria. So a rewatch, continue and a new show.

They need to allow the customer to feed in more data. Integrate IMDB, Trakt etc and farm this data to improve recommendations, even if they are shows/films outside of their catalogue. I have a feeling that the lack of "I've seen this before outside of Netflix" button and the simple thumbs up or down doesn't provide the depth in the data.

I get why they moved to the current rating system, the thread on here discussing it at the time was actually really insightful for someone who was learning algos at the time.
Let's just assume that the way 19th century, Ludwig-II-style museums worked was not exactly historically accurate. This is the king who built Neuschwanstein Castle. He essentially cosplayed as a Roman sometimes, and he built a "Roman villa", more as a holiday home than a museum, and a roman villa needs roman stuff in it. It only became a museum later, half dedicated to the Romans, half to the old king.

Seattle just built a major light rail expansion ahead of schedule and under budget.

But I specifically believe in building more, smaller units. Places with eg 20 apartments. By building smaller scoped projects, costs are better understood up front, maintenance costs are lower, and you need less specialized construction expertise.

Building 50 20-unit complexes to house a thousand families is going to serve everyone better than building one mega project to house a thousand families.

shoot you in the foot at some point by removing a package that you've forgotten to put in the configuration list.

The point is to only maintain the list of packages via this list.

If you're going to the effort to define the list of packages you want installed on a machine then go with something like Ansible, Chef or Puppet that gives you the tools to do it correctly.

What exactly is the difference between a list of packages expressed like this and a list of packages expressed in puppet's syntax?

No, I did not. I am saying using language improperly invites the wrong kind of conclusions. Please respond to the strongest possible interpretation of my comment.

I have trans friends. We get along. I do not hate people for choosing an identity. That is silly.

I could get into the futility of binding ourselves to an identity (any identity) and how it perpetuates suffering but this is not the time or place.

I think it's important to also point out that comments like yours, drive-by tweet-sized derision, directly feed the outrage culture humanity faces today.

This is one of the most wholesome uses of location data I’ve heard about. There was a NYT article a few years ago about the data brokers who sell this info, and how easy it was to deanonymize if you know where a specific person is at certain times. The journalist did this using Trump as an example, matching the location data in reports to where he had been seen on live tv.

I am really curious who else buys this kind of data and what it’s used for. I’ve heard commercial real estate owners have also used it to track how many people are returning to offices so they can predict what their tenants will do when it comes time to renew the leases.
This is a well known company though, not a hidden gem. Plus their P/E is >250.

I had an Android tablet, unfortunately not a good experience, especially now I have an iPad. The two are lightyears apart in quality. Apps were indeed a big letdown, only one tablet app on android had a decent photo editor for RAW, while with the iPad, I can do some stuff out of the box and there are a bunch of apps which are really good.
Yes. The more people who use and understand email and things like seive, the better!
> No, I can't be bothered to learn piano scales. I expended my mental capacity for it on guitar already.

It’s a lot easier on the piano. The keys are laid out as sheet music, very convenient if you know a bit of music theory.
> The sooner we collectively decide that housing shouldn't be a market, the better.

How do you or we decide it's not a market?

If people are paying money for housing, it's a market. And it's not just money, but the largest lifetime expense by an order of magnitude and more.

> I'm also of the much more radical opinion that we should protect tenants over landlords in nearly every case

That's already the case, at least in many places (I know not all). If you take it too far the result is no landlords, thus no rentals. Perhaps that's ok if everyone wants to buy, but if there is anyone who wants to rent, it's useful to have rentals.
As many people have told you repeatedly throughout this thread, your understanding of the great success of glorious public housing worldwide is seriously misguided at best.

But I suspect you most likely just glean all of your political opinions from memes, which could explain some things.

> NASA and ESA are phasing out use of hydrazine because of its unfortunate handling characteristics.

I read about various 'green propellant' efforts over the years, but it seems in practice hydrazine is still used for orbital manouvering systems. Of course for those the volumes are small compared to the launch rockets themselves. For launch vehicles it seems only old Russian and Chinese designs still use hydrazine.

> Although toxic, it is a lot lighter than air, so if it leaks it goes up, and does not hang about poisoning people in a broadening area.

Eventually yes it will dissipate upwards, but typically ammonia accidents result in a vapour cloud traveling close to the ground. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIi4_Poo2HY

> The main problem with hydrocarbons as synthetic fuel is that you need the carbon, which in air is at below 0.05% concentration. It is certainly possible, but seems unlikely to approach ammonia in cost.

There's certainly a largish cost to concentrating CO2 from the atmosphere. Carbon Engineering, one of the companies in the DAC space, claims 8.8 GJ/ton. Just some back of the napkin comparison to the enthalpy of formation for CO2 and H2O (+ adding an assumed 70% efficiency for CO2 dissociation and water electrolysis), and assuming we're building hydrocarbons with a 2:1 H:C ratio, that would mean a roughly 40% energy penalty compared to starting with a concentrated CO2 feedstock.

One the plus side you get a fuel with cheaper and safer handling, better energy density, and compatibility with existing equipment. Hard to say which approach will win. Might well be as you said, that for large industrial users that can take appropriate precautions like maritime shipping or peaker power plants ammonia will be a better solution, but for other smaller scale usage synthetic hydrocarbons will win.
I'm in California farm land, and we get flocks of wild turkeys passing through the neighborhood from time to time. They even came over the fence into the yard once.

They can be aggressive, that's for sure. I'm not sure a kick would make them back off. Are they a lethal threat? No. But they could hurt you. Who wants a bunch of cuts from fighting a wild animal? Best to avoid them if possible.

I have a hard time categorizing ISIS destroying thousands of years old ruins and artefacts as “self-determination”. If I had the choice between stealing these artefacts and putting them in a museum versus letting a radical group of religious fundamentalists destroy a valuable part of ancient history I would chose the former.
I'm in a position where I can choose to go to the office if I want to or not. Most of the time I much prefer working from home, this has definitely an effect on being able to become friends with my coworkers (which, in any case, almost none of them go to the office anyway).

I have also recently moved to a different country, so in reality, I don't have many friends here to begin with.

Luckily for me, I've never really felt the need as I am pretty active online anyway and never have a moment where I'm not chatting with someone or have someone to chat with. IRL I meet with friends once a week, once every two weeks for some beers and other related activities. It's enough for me.

I think, if you can't get the social interaction you need from work then it might be worth looking into any sort of social clubs and whatnot that you could take on during the weekend. Photography, painting, whatever you fancy there are sure to be clubs in your city :)

I use the same setting but with the "three finger drag" option.

It's similar but doesn't need a click to start the drag and another to end it. You just grab things with three fingers and move them; lift when done.

It also lets you select multiple whole words with the mouse: single tap quickly followed by holding three fingers and dragging.
> you can’t read the table

Which makes the table content inaccessible. It _is_ an accessibility issue.

Here's the definition I prefer, that does not focus on "disabilities" (which many people equate "accessibility" with):

This must be very common right now?

I'm at the exact same point with Vue3. 10+ years of experience, created two fulls stacks sass'es as a Tech Lead but i feel so slow learning this new stuff.

Just installed a starter kit and been endlessly fiddling with a simple test frontend and couldn't get basic reactivity to work. I feel the documentation is riddled with advanced concepts and everything is way, WAY more complex than it has to be and there's no diagrams of the lifecycles and dataflow or what actually happens from user interaction to screen print - it's like theres a million steps now in a black box both in the build and on the user end. So many concepts, tools and atomisations to do rather simple things.

Hope its just lockdown-world fatigue that will heal or that these new conventions will "click" soon.
To be a bit fair, checked exceptions in java also have their 'bypass' system, since Errors are not checked. So you can't be sure whether someone will decide to throw an error in the middle of library code. You still have to catch-all. I'm not saying it's better.

I haven't seen a way to do exceptions better than fully-checked exceptions, but you have to be ready to have buffer/integer over/underflow exceptions everywhere or have a fine prover for the absence or runtime erroes to 'allow' you not to have them in your signature.

Otherwise having discriminated records (or option types if you prefer) for return and error-handling seems more down to earth, if a bit painful to write.
the ironic thing is that manga solved this problem decades ago by simply creating genres for every possible niche.
I experienced this in my early 30s. I really thought my career was over, I felt I was making such poor progress in various tasks and learning what I needed to finish a fairly large project.

In retrospect I actually knocked that project out of the park, but I was miserable for a number of reasons, burned out, and siloed off on a project that the company was bizarrely apathetic about. I developed a bleak outlook on what I was doing, and as I hit obstacles I think the bleak outlook increasingly extended to myself.

It was a great learning experience. These days I'm fairly sure I'll continue to learn because I love what I do, so long as my brain's still working at least. I might slow down here and there, but it's a mistake to think you've actually hit a hard limit or something. It's almost certainly external.

When I feel down or like I can't do my job well enough, I just remind myself how far I've come despite how low I've felt before, and how things have continued to go well. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Do let yourself take a break, though. You might need one to get a fresh perspective on things.

Good luck!

One aspect that I felt was missing in the discussion is inflation. You could imagine a situation where house prices have risen before everything else did, and now that inflation is approaching double digits, all the other items in the economy (and wages) will just catch up slowly. But then again, I'm sure the they've included such factors in their analysis.
