I genuinely do not see how being required to manage a phone's battery is any more onerous a requirement to place on someone than keeping track of a key.

really?
you can predict how much you use your phone during the day? my key will never loose power, people calling me is something i can't control.

and control is the problem here. i can control that i will not loose my key. just as i can control that i will not loose my phone. and while i know that usually i can get through the day with a single charge, i can't predict that one day a year where that charge won't be enough. so just because of this unpredictability i have to go out carrying a backpack just so i can carry a powerbank. because my phone fits in my pockets, an extra powerbank requires me to have some kind of bag, in summer when i want to go out with shorts and a t-shirt. oh and what about my off-grid weekend trips where i don't get an opportunity to charge my phone for two days?

also, what about my kids who are to young to have a phone on their own?

requiring a phone severely affects my lifestyle in ways that i just don't want.

but i just realized what the solution to the power management is: every door that requires a phone needs to have a charger station right next to it. only that would really solve the problem of being able to make sure i can have a charged phone when i need to enter.

that still doesn't solve the other problems, but at least i can leave the powerbank at home now
My meta point is, "Don't give up. Everything is learnable!"

My first real tech job was in a country and office where the working language was one I didn't speak while growing up. If I came across words at work I needed and didn't know, I looked them up or asked for clarification and learned them.
1. Nominal interest rates are pretty normal right now. 3.3% on a 10y, that's not bad in history.

2. The government's debt is fixed. Only new deficit is on higher rates.

3. Completely agree, my thesis is that interest rates are going to continue to go up (IMHO 4%, 4.5%)
Hey! Thanks for the feedback!

As for your first question, my plan was to let you, as a developer, pick your interests instead of "guessing" them based on your commit history. Meaning, letting you pick things like preferred languages, size of the project and so on. Once you've selected your initial set of preferences, your likes and follows (of projects) would also influence your recommendations.

Glad to know that the startup option would also be interesting! All the feedback I've received so far has been from developers, you're the first one validating the business plan as a whole, so thanks for taking the time to do so!
Yeah, it's great, and that's not the only one. Mac OS supports a whole bunch of emacs style text editing commands. I wish I could replicate in Linux.
Damn thanks for the great read. This is just what I was looking for.
I worked at Apple relatively briefly, in a lead role on an Important Project that required its own form to be disclosed on it (besides the general agreement you sign to begin employment). A truly toxic work environment that I couldn't get out of fast enough once I shipped the project.

All kinds of projects at Apple have their own disclosure forms, and you are only given one to sign if it's deemed necessary to your work. My responsibilities on this project didn't entitle me to be disclosed on it, which led to all manner of hilariously frustrating guessing games as I tried to deliver on the requirements without actually being told what they were. Conversations regularly went like this: "I can't tell you that that approach won't satisfy the requirements, but I would think twice if I were you." Ultimately I think that I puzzled out what was needed and successfully delivered it, but the method was pure madness.

This wasn't even some new silver gadget launch, it was an infrastructure component to a future product launch down the road. Yet everything and anything can be given the top secret treatment.

Why is that? Running a disclosure-required project is prestigious. Being disclosed on projects is a badge of honor, almost even a high score board, and not being disclosed is used as a weapon in big or small ways.

Anything that Apple manages to ship (in my experience) is in spite of their corporate culture, not because of it.
He talks specifically about the etymology of the word Panzer, including its colloquial usage, in the linked article.
Love your relatively simple (that’s a compliment - I’m sure you can go deeper) yet 100% accurate (IMO) take on this topic.

Just want to mention that we shouldn’t forget that the fed’s balance sheet ballooning started with the 2008 crisis. If I recall correctly, they had _just_ started to lightly unload all the things they gobbled up like fiends during that period before COVID smacked. Of course they hard turned 180 degrees and got on the throttle again, going in to stabilize the usual markets along with new additions people never would have anticipated they’d touch, ever.

I guess my point is this has been very very long running and is another data point that says (to me) it’s not just a supply side issue that’s driving what we’re seeing.
On point 2, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR, the court of the Council of Europe) blocked such deportations, etc. under the European Convention on Human Rights -- nothing to do with the EU.

The ECtHR is tasked with upholding fundamental freedoms like the Convention, the UN Charter of Rights, etc. and is completely separate from the EU.
Exponential curves in real assets are not sustainable.
I saw some research when I was in college that before Deng's reforms in Communist China, the level of income inequality was pretty low. Once the market reforms were enacted, inequality went through the roof.

Markets disproportionately reward those who produce things other people want. That is inherent inequality. The ethical question is how much of that reward could be distributed to others who may actually have a bad lot in life (though my own bias is to doubt the extent to which, barring obvious physical or mental disability, a person is incapable of making her own luck).
Yeah. Partial list of things you currently cannot do in China without a phone (at least, where I live):

- Go to the supermarket (you can ask a friend with a phone to help you order online)

- Take a taxi (usually, depends on the driver)

- Eat at a restaurant

- (Basically, enter any place of business)

- Go to the hospital

- Travel to another province

- Visit any scenic area or large public park

- Get a Covid test

- Visit your friend’s apartment (usually)

What if your battery dies? Super-reliance on cell phones means this is a solved this problem: it’s trivial to rent a charger anywhere there’s a convenience store.

To be clear, I also see this as an anti-pattern. The presence or absence of an expensive connected device should not restrict what a person can do in meat space. A person not carrying a mobile phone is still a person.

But I don’t see how you actually do contact tracing at scale without this. In the beginning of the pandemic, entering a supermarket meant writing your contact info (including ID number!) on a paper ledger at the entrance. Fuck that.
Russia with it's vast territory is surprisingly self-sufficient and resilient. Their consumers might have shortage of avocados, their oligarchs will have net worth cut from dozens of billions to single billions. They will evolve into something different and then Germany, Netherlands, Italy and others will again start pumping money into it. Unfortunately the true loser is Ukraine. Now they're completely dependent on the western world while being outside of its political and military unions, treaties, and organizations. Resentment of their population can lead back to oligarchy and corruption known from 90s and 00s and return to the vicious circle of misery.
It's a good thing they said "trained PhD" then.
The UK is at more or less the same price as it was in 2000. France same as 2008. Meanwhile SPY is up 2.75x in that period. The US seems to be the anomaly. Value doesn’t always go higher. Maybe the USA is special, maybe not.
I think this is a fair point. What about readability score of the course?

For better accuracy, maybe one needs to take out special terms first.
The Bekenstein bound seems to suggest that the human brain is only finitely more complex.

(And, if the mind is more complex than the physical/material brain, then, unless whatever else the mind is has a non-material influence on the material brain, any additional complexity of the mind would not need to be modeled in order to imitate the outputs.)
As a general rule, when the news say something, people will overcompensate so it's in your interest to act on the opposite.

On the other hand, it's not enough to just be on the right side of the trade: after all, the markets can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent.
You skipped the part about learning what a directly path is, and how to find the names of all the subdirs in the paths.
It's early yet.
You are right. These issues have beenn fixed in recent commits but the release builds are from an older commit.
I once worked under a research grant where the leader is trying to impress by delivering more than promised, i.e. doing a related side project that is not part of the original plan. Upon learning about this "secret" side project, this didn't please the grant giving agency so the side project was made "official" while funding remained the same. An increase in official deliverables without an increase in funding and staff was just a recipe for burn-out. Worse, the engineers that had to toil in the side project did not get as much recognition or networking as those in the official deliverable, as it was not the priority among the collaborators. On the other hand, the leader only had to demand more from engineers to appear prolific to the eyes of the public.
Workers at Apple China Plant Clash with Guards over Lockdowns
What a stupid article, for 20GBP you can easily buy electric razor/clipper which will last you for 5-10 years minimum with almost zero maintenance and cost besides electricity.

I just replaced my clipper after maybe 8 years because spring in blade finally broke, it cost originally around 12€, I cut my hair, sons hair and shave myself occasionally. If I didn't mind waiting 1-2 months for replacement blade from China I could get it replaced for 3EUR (oh and I replaced broken pet cable for maybe 1EUR USB cable with special connector). Instead I splurged for new 20EUR clipper but can't say I'd be particularly happy, so probably will end up ordering replacement blade anyway, but at least no need to worry about backup.
Yield curve inverted and interest rates have begun to go up. Risk on?
This goes to show how inept and inconsistent western leadership has become in terms of policies. Not so long ago, “sanctions don’t work” was the mantra of the political class and Wall Street when there was a trade war with China. And now those same people argued for the most ludicrous types of sanctions that actually hurt their legitimacy long term.

Why would countries with emerging market economies hold their reserves in UST and USD when it can be seized without due process? Rule of law was the last thing west has and the leadership across the board are going out of their ways to destroy its legitimacy.

Another worrying symptom in much of the western democracy is how the court system is becoming complicit in all this. When individuals of Russian origins were getting their assets seized with no due process whatsoever
, where was the court system in this? I have no sympathy for Russian oligarchs but law should apply for everyone equally. These types of blanket seize gives state powers to set the precedent which in the future they can apply against anyone. Canada already did this to their own people.
>> Plenty of 30-40 PE companies at index level with close to 0 growth. Companies like NET still at 30x sales.

This is the scariest thing to me that very few are discussing. Corporate debt is either toxic or nearing it based on the implications of your statement (which I believe to be accurate).
Yes, it seems as though economics is measured in multi-year timeframes.
I don't see how they can come up with software hardware integration and optimisation by working in silos that converge at the eleventh hour. In fact the closed ecosystem criterion would mean lots of internal dependency and more communication.
China lacks rule of law, or even an attempt at it: the Chinese government has stated that the notion of rule of law is just western imperialism. This is why, China having a constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and so on, is completely meaningless (no independent judiciary means the law is whatever officials claim it is) whereas an attempt of rule of law is actually made in the USA, even if it is far from perfect.

Ironically, we are debating Singapore in parent, which has extremely strong rule of law, but the laws are such that security is prioritized.
This could be a very neat app for finding startup projects to work with/on/for with good culture fit/missions an engineer has empathy for.

Use that revenue to fund free listings for FOSS projects forever?!

I think it's pretty cool Vasa was up after 10pm learning cool stuff with his dad.

Recently got my daughter into doing web application testing. She found four bugs in an hour. Trying stuff that I never thought of. I've created a monster. (She's getting paid, don't worry)
For code reviews:
White Wine. Gewurztraminer, chenin blanc, off-dry rieslings. You want something that's clean on the palette and not sugary sweet. Chardonnay is far too congenial in this session - you're not necessarily here to make friends.

Alternatively gin and tonic but for crap sake use a good gin.

Brainstorming:
Tequila. Just try it. Margaritas if everyone is under 23.

Structure and Design:
Red wine. Deep, rich, moody cabernets, old style zinfandels that roar out of the glass. This is where you pop for the expensive bottles so you do it right the first time.

There is an argument to be made for single malt scotch or 12 year old bourbon here. Either is a solid choice but avoid mixing them in the same session.

Bug Fixes:
Beer. Hoppy micro-brews but avoid the high alcohol content ones. Also avoid the hazy, unfiltered fadish brews. You want to see and think straight and be sharp.

Dull, tedious refactoring 5 year old crap code:
Rose. Hear me out- it's about creating a mind set here. Rose is just that - it's a mind set more than an actual drink.

Anything having to do with Mongo db:
Grand Marnier, Ouzo, Pernod - something at least 80 proof with a strong flavor to compensate for the bitter taste in your mouth.

Bottoms up!
I believe the latest IPCC report on climate change expected outcome even for the worst scenario had a noticeable decrease in the rate of growth of the global economy - not a contraction, just slower growth. We do not seem to be on track for a global contraction of economy, not even in the face of climate change.

And economic growth is already (though not that recently) somewhat decoupled from growth in greenhouse gas emission, so any actions taken to reduce climate consequences do not have to be at the cost of stopping global growth, much less intentionally contracting global economy; and in fact the only actions likely to be taken in practice are those which don't stop economic growth - the general population, especially those in poorer countries (even those directly harmed by climate change) will not accept that cost.
I wonder if you could use ankify to update anki cards in a bi-directional way? Like I can modify one of my cards and my notes will reflect the change, and vice versa
I would add that while self-driving cars are going to still be rather limited, self-driving trucks are going to be a normal view on highways, often in convoys with one human driver team and a bunch of autonomous followers. In cities, or near terminals, local human drivers will board and take over.

This will change what does it mean to be a trucker a lot.
What I want is a sound activated rotten-egg launcher or paintball gun for the obnoxious cars on my street.
This is not quite surprising as I experienced a few times that kids understand pretty well a CLI rather than a GUI. As soon as they can read the concept of a REPL is rather straightforward for many so called computer "illiterates". Say something to the computer through writing it on the keyboard then wait for the processing of it and finally see the result displayed on the screen.
Plus the history of commands is also very intuitive. Is it because it's all based on natural language faculties that we all possess as soon as we are born?

I really like documentation sites like this. But viewing this on an iPad Pro with Safari makes it impossible once you select a page such as Syscalls then command write. The menu bar with synopsis, description, etc, covers up about a third of the left side of the screen and there aren't enough context clues to get anything out.
Is there a way after selecting a page and then a topic that I can hide the sliding menu window?

I do like what you have.
There is an saying: The stock market is not the economy. The US economy is still growing faster enough for corporations to fight off the effects of inflation. (People / workers are a different social and economic issue.) The Fed will continue to raise rates and wind down its balance sheet in an orderly manner. Eventually, after enough rate rises, inflation will slow, and the economy will reach a new equilibrium between growth, rates, and inflation. This is all a normal part of an economic cycle.
No. First I've heard of it.
to be fair most of trade today is overly interconnected for no good reason, i have seen scenarios mentioned where part is made in brazil, shipped to singapore, then assembled in thailand then shipped to usa. but it somehow comes cheaper than assembling in brazil and shipping to usa because of existing volume or something. but that's very shortsighted. Sure free market is efficient. But what it's not is forward looking. Govt can step in kick start reactions which leads to enough volume from brazil to usa to make that economical as well. but it'd have advantage of less fragile supply chain and more env friendly process....
I would have thought Norway can't fight climate change because of its dependence on oil exports.
> I don't get it. Things are simple. The employer sets the terms, where you work and how the work is paid. The employee either accepts the terms or walks away.

The employer makes an offer. Every job should be one where all parties see it as a fair exchange of value.

For a majority in software engineering, offers are not that hard to come by. There is an onus on both employer and employee to ensure the exchange of value continues to remain fair.

Things are not simple though, because people are messy. We’re all different. We need slightly different things. We have different challenges we’re working with.

Remote work has been a dream for some, and a reality for a small group. The pandemic forced a trial under less than ideal circumstances and productivity generally didn’t suffer (sometimes it went up).

The desire to work in an office or remote is something I keep finding differs person to person. If you mandate either all remote or all in an office you’re going to annoy someone.

We’re human. We need different things.

If your employer is refusing, in this industry you have options.

I have personally never met someone, who was under the age of 20, who didn't have a solid grasp of working with other programmers remotely. With open source being the power house that it is most promising programmers growing up now are already way ahead of the curve.
The node id path is interesting. I disabled it for performance reasons in Fidgetty since it wasn’t used, but was contemplating using it for a theming system similar to CSS. Do you have any ideas of combining declarative style UIs and CSS theme-ing?
Gerrymandering would be somewhat curtailed (not nullified, I agree) if most of the people would have supported the opposition. They just don't. In the last General Elections, PAP's margin of victory did shrink from the past but it was still a pretty big margin[0].

The 3.0 release of pyparsing includes some nice extensions over its older 2.x code base, including LR parsing support and railroad diagram generation. Also, PEP-8 API naming has been added (but with pre-PEP-8 synonyms defined for legacy compatibility).

I'm sorry it comes off as cherry-picked and rosey. My only intention was to supply a perspective that I felt was missing, namely that of the anarchist. Had I felt another perspective been missing, I would have been more than happy to cherry pick the things I didn't need to bring up now.

Yes, I do honestly believe the wealth- and power-preservation interests of the few are one of the reasons we live in such undemocratic forms today.

Yes, I have experienced various forms of organisation in both the big and the small, along the authoritarianism--democracy axis, and the more democratic have consistently been the better, in almost all respects except that they make it hard to amass wealth and transform it into power over others.

If you want, I can refer to many more well-reasoned criticisms of capitalism than I can author. But it sounds like you'd be familiar with those already, so I'm not sure it would help you change your mind.
You're conflating "all laws" with "one specific, concrete, obviously meaningful law with tons of research behind it and for which violations can be almost perfectly reliably classified."
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payout, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.

It’s not just about how much money you can make though - buying rubles helps Russia continue policies (hopefully) considered ethically wrong, such as waging war in Ukraine.
World indexes are 50% American stocks, they are not as diversified as you think. They’re also vulnerable to mass panic during a crash.
Keep in mind this attitude makes total sense to hardware engineers.

The hardware business is...

Let's just say that the difficulties you face definitely exist for hardware engineers.

But, difficulties involving negotiations plus recalcitrant South Korean factory owners are WORSE.

In "South Korean factory owner negotiations," secrecy is paramount.

Particularly if said South Korean factory owner is the biggest supplier of iPhone screens. And also makes an entire line of competitor phones to your products.

Apple's CEO, COO and "head of services" all have degrees from Duke University and 30 year careers in supply chain management. The company is widely regarded as being run by a Gang of 4, those 3 plus the general counsel.

From the outside, Apple is very much a hardware company that knows nothing about software.

The software is only good because Mac fans join the company and slave hard enough to make it that way.
Poetry being the supremely subjective thing it is, quite possible that a "good" poem written by a robot is "better" than many written by humans - which would actually be a good thing - who is to judge? Atleast we won't be accusing robots of stealing "good paying jobs" of poets anytime soon.
