try going beyond boredom. Further. Then you won't care/feel about it the same way. And/or understand what some particular boredom is (and there are many flavours).

How.. depends where are you / what you can afford/allow yourself.

A somewhat speculative example from oz: go take a floating house (boathouse?), at the mouth of Murray river (or at other end, all the same). Stock with food+water+whatever. Float it.. Stream is like 3km/h, house-speed is like 5-6km/h, constant (numbers are examples, but you should get the idea). Murray is like 2500km long. After a week you'll be bored. After 2-3 weeks you'll be halfway the journey.. beyond boredom. News? What are these?

i did not do the above, although it was on the todo list for some time.. long time ago. But recently, i went on a 1500km road-bicycle trip across the country, specificaly avoiding any big road/city/crowd. Will repeat when i can. Slow continious motion works. Tomorow becomes today, but one does not care anymore. Regardless of the holes. Bees escort you. Colour of asphalt depends on colour of rocks of the region. People.. may not really "see" you because you are impossible to be there. Hence definitely no fake talk. And being beyond most "civilisation" Rules/laws (yeah 40km/h limit uphill, no worries :)

I took a 6 month sabbatical and am just now interviewing for work again. It's been one of the best decisions of my career and I would highly recommend everyone who can to save up and make it happen for themselves. I worked for over a decade before feeling burnt out and realizing I needed to make a change. Fortunately I'd been saving for this for quite a while, knowing I'd want to do it eventually. It's been amazing to have time to myself to ponder what I want out of the rest of my work life, enjoy hikes in the middle of the week, work on a side project, level up my cooking game, and spend time with friends and family without regard for having to return to work at the end of several week long vacations. I'm eager to get back to work and am already looking forward to my next sabbatical and how it will affect my future self. Live a little leaner, save up, and take some time for yourself. We don't have much of it.

Here's a relevant TED talk I found to be inspiring: https://www.ted.com/talks/stefan_sagmeister_the_power_of_tim...

They have diversity programs, they aren't trying to hire exclusively women because they are cheaper. Those are two different things.

Also, nobody promotes diversity because diversity it reduces payroll costs. They do it because it allegedly produces better results.
I think they’re referring to the trade from managing one system (DO + SQLite) to two (Heroku + pg) and instead choosing Firestore instead as it’s only one system to manage.
It’s a board game called “Monopoly”.
Typeless is the default though? Why wouldn't you want the types to be reliable when you're reading/writing from the backend in the general case?
Accidental Calling After Hanging Up on iPhone
I absolutely love this. I think so called n-tier architecture as a pattern should be aggressively battled in the attempt to reduce the n. Software is so much more reliable when the communication between different computational modules of the system are function calls as opposed to IPC calls. Why does everything that computes something or provides some data need to be a process? It doesn't.

Postgresql and every other server/process should have first class support for a single CLI command that: spins up the DB that slurps up the config and the data storage, takes the SQL command provided through the CLI arguments, runs it, returns results and terminates. Effectively, every server/process software should be a library first, since it's easy to make a server out of a library and the reverse is anything but.
I don't think anyone is pushing for that, though sometimes a company will design a device around another company's battery design. There's quite a bit of small photo/video lighting that uses Sony NP series camera batteries. Those are just a pair of 18650s in series inside a plastic box.

It seems to me the size of the G7X could have been designed around a 14500 cell instead.

> they do not know the quality of the other jobs' insurance coverage

And the fact that you can't actually take time off of work to pursue a career change or look for a new job, because you need your job in order to be able to afford basic healthcare. Which makes it a lot harder to pursue a career change or look for a new job, because you are stuck/busy at your current one + whatever other life responsibilities you have (not to mention the really high commute times in NYC).

No. Per the Affordable Care Act, since 2010 health insurance companies can only price insurance based on age, smoking status, and location. And they must offer insurance to all.

Quite a while ago I worked on two different Microsoft SQL systems that had hundreds of stored procedures, we had a version control and migration system that was ‘good enough’.

You can think of stored procedures like an API that one would provide over http, except it is over the ODBC, JDBC or whatever db interface you use. Surely you could make a web API that is a thin veneer over some stored procedures.

You can do a lot in a stored procedure with the particular advantage of a low latency location close to the database engine for good transaction performance.
Went not just stand on it while it tares and ignore the negative when you step off?
> a payroll tax that is basically equal (in aggregate) to the insurance

Whereupon there is no reduction in cost to any employer.

Theoretically there could be a reduction because the state would be a larger pool of cross-subsidization than any particular employer. In reality the costs are worse since the state will use the taxes to subsidize non-employed persons.

> So to avoid the problem of wealth leading to political power you create a system of secret police roughing up individual offenders.

To be clear I am not advocating for the Communist model. I was just relating a story about how the CCP reigned in errant (by their criteria) wealthy. It's an example that wealth doesn't automatically lead to power.

> we focus on preventing people from amassing that much power in the first place.

Sure, the question is how?

I agree that individual people should not have as much power as many of them seem to have today. I don't agree that the answer is a universal cap on personal wealth. I especially don't agree that we should confiscate the existing (legally-gained and legally-spent) wealth of private individuals, people who are not criminals. (At least not automatically criminal just because they're rich.)
My girlfriend is a landlady.

She had issues with these two particular tenants who seemed to have an obsession with fighting over the temperature dial.

It cost her a whole ton in either heating or A/C every month, and would leave the whole place either ridiculously freezing or way too hot all the time.

(She lives in the basement herself, so this affected her as well.)

She bought a Nest, put a password on it, left it there, and has likely already saved around what the Nest cost within a year or so just from stopping these idiots and future potential idiots from constantly messing with the thing.

She’s never had an issue with it.

Essentially - it really depends on what you want a product for, and how you intend to use it.

I’m aware there are other, cheaper; less convenient solutions such as a lockbox, but honestly the Nest has been a wonderful solution for her.
Your /first/ solution is to ban US Citizens from using our own resource?

WTF man?!

Have you ever watched the program: How it's Made? This television program, unintentionally, showcases the massive water-waste that corporations perpetrate daily.

How about we ban manufacturing processes that use water? How about we force companies that use our water to pay Citizens the ACTUAL VALUE of the water, and not a made-up price that makes their business competitive?

How about we tell those companies to go-F themselves until they have a manufacturing plan that doesn't include our limited water supply?

But, no, your immediate solution is to harm the Citizens... Again, wtf?! @Jcranmer
I don't think they're saying that at all. I think the point was, a payroll tax won't necessarily increase costs for a company because it would be offset by eliminating the current healthcare costs.

One of the arguments for the federal system is that states do get to experiment and the ones that work go national.
I've always been a fan of state over federal, but I don't think a lot of our states are "rich" enough to balance out the others. I'd imagine an optimal balance would be several of the lower population states be merged together based on culture until we have ~10 states with the wealth of Germany or some such, but then dumping a lot of the federal powers to before Wickard v. Filburn. The thing is that the impotence seems to kick in on the "super-large" continent sized countries, but that doesn't mean there isn't a minimum size too, of which a Vermont or Kentucky doesn't really meet compared to a Texas or California.

It should also be noted these changes would only practically be achieved with a time machine, because the social/economic/military cost of changing anything involving the foundation of the US nowadays would be apocalyptic

Except market driven allocation by and large works, despite the sheer denial going on here. Not every user of water is uncaring of price, and water prices demonstrably work. I don’t understand the resistance against such a measure, this is probably a textbook example of where market-driven allocation would work well. Most people don’t need enough water for even reasonably high prices to be a serious issue.
50% of health resources are used in the final 5 years of life.

The young should not pay for the healthcare of the elderly. Society should be apportioned into different age categories, and funded separately, with a 'base' tier for all citizens and legal residents, and a higher tier for those with private or employer insurance.

I think this is seriously going to degrade as crypto exchanges come under AML and KYC regulations. Liquidity is overwhelmingly moving to centralized exchanges and those exchanges have to support transfers to/from fiat currency which basically means they'll all end up implementing standard AML/KYC checks for any reasonable size of transactions. So yeah you might be able to store some value in this incredibly volatile speculative asset, but when it comes time to liquidate it's going to become very difficult to find a counter-party who'll hand over cash. At that point the question is what are you getting? 90 cents on the dollar? 10 cents on the dollar? I'm not sure that sort of liquidity beats other money laundering schemes.
You're not supposed to be able to get private healthcare in Canada, but actually there are plenty of fancy clinics that will fix you up on the spot if you have money. It's all hush-hush because those in power are the primary users of that parallel system. It's not a criminal underground but an unregulated mezzanine, yes?

Also, in my experience, public healthcare _can_ be quite good, but the quality of service varies a lot across regions and institutions.
There's a large cohort of people that have grown up in the Bay Area, working from ages 16-28 (primarily, but also beyond) at their parents' home in low paying jobs. Plus, SF is connected via BART to a few much cheaper areas like Hayward, Richmond, and Antioch where renting a room could be something like $600-$800 / month.
There are a lot of ways to trim the size. All in sure, its 2 MB I think, for the entire .NET runtime. However there are a few mitigating steps that really do have a dramatic difference in terms of how big the WASM runtime is.

If you setup the compiler with trimming enabled[0] it gets significantly smaller. You can also lazy load assemblies by route[1] to further restrict the upfront cost.

Of course, this is not acceptable for the average web page by any means. This is really intended for behind the login type applications where you load up the initial runtime once and its cached heavily for the rest of the applications lifecycle by the user. This is really targeted at true applications-in-the-browser type situations.

Blazor server side works too, though everything then has to run via a SignalR connection and can be a bit more flaky at scale.

Runtime performance however, I actually don't find it to be a bottleneck. The apps I've built with Blazor are pretty fast. I haven't worked with it in 9 months though.

The new typeface is nice, providing the required feel without succumbing to cliche, but now whoever is actually using it to typeset titles isn't doing any kerning! This makes the title look like it is supposed to be "Avata R" (the typographer almost certainly did create proper kerning in the font, but as soon as you start messing with different sizes and increasing the tracking, the kerning is going to have to be adjusted as well, and that wasn't done).

It's like James Cameron said "Fine! I won't let my guy I had make the titles last time choose the font, we'll have a new font made. But I want the my guy to do the rest of the title work, because he'll still do it for just a crew jacket."

Anyway, I quite appreciate the WIP sketches, it makes it plain what the influences are: the bones of the letters are somewhat reminiscent of typefaces like Lithos or Penumbra, and the slight blobbiness of terminals and serifs (which might otherwise be classified as either wedge or flare serifs) subtly recall both Papyrus and some "runic" typefaces. The "runic" influence shows up in some other details as well, like the 'v' of the A's crossbar. The rejected "too extreme" lowercase has a hint of Fraktur or something similar.

Like Papyrus, though, this is most certainly a display font. I hope the designer gets to create a toned-down text version that will be usable for subtitles, fixing the other poor typography decision made in the first movie.
presumably, you don't actually mean "ban healthcare" so much as some version of "prohibit government spending on healthcare" or somesuch?

I publicly called the Bitcoin top over a year ago. It Fell 56% over 70 days to $28600.It then bounced, made a fake out break out to 69k (6% higher high) and dumped 56% to $30,331. Grayscale "Bitcoin" can be bought at a 25% discount still, and as long as that discount exists, there's no chance of a Bitcoin bull run. Macro situation: Interest rates up, markets, houses and luxury goods down, crypto totally correlated with stocks. Caveat: I'm a founder in the space.

"you get what you pay for"

No country pays more for healthcare per capita than the US. If we could capture some of the huge chunk that goes to private insurance companies (each company has its own redundant staff and technology systems, their own execs all getting their own bonuses, etc), we could provide healthcare even better than we already provide in the US to those who can afford it or qualify for public programs.
... I'm not exactly sure what are you trying to communicate. I'm absolutely for spending more on things that help disadvantaged people, but still, fundamentally that means more people needed to work helping disadvantaged people and less everywhere else to avoid inflation. (See NAIRU.)

There was already a pretty serious inflation in many places that did pretty serious lockdowns (for example Germany), well before the war.

And since the developed economies are very intertwined it's no surprise that the CPI curve for the US looks very similar.

And the likely causes are:

- the shift of spending from services to products during the pandemic

- plus overloaded the logistics networks which further increases costs

- the unexpectedly large stimulus bills

- not enough people getting the vaccine in time & no new vaccine version released to target new variants (so boosters are becoming less and less effective)

There’s a lot of discourse going around these days about white people. Not much of it is positive. It’s understandable; just about every person of color has at least one story in which a white person made them feel terrible because of their race, whether intentionally or not. There’s a lot of pent up anger, and it’s socially acceptable to vent that anger now, so people do. As a result, there are a lot of well meaning white people who are receiving the message that they, and people who look like them, are making the lives of people of color hard. Some people react to that by getting angry, others react by looking for opportunities to prove they aren’t that kind of white person. When they see an interaction like this one, they feel compelled to act, and they do. Sometimes way out of proportion to the inciting incident. Other well meaning and anxious people react positively to the callout, which reinforces the perception that this is the right thing to do. The person who committed the offense often tries to clarify their position, which presents more opportunities to call them out. In situations like this, even apologies are often criticized. Each time this process unfolds, the line of acceptable behavior creeps ever backwards, and increasingly benign actions and statements end up on the other side of it.

It makes for a nice dog and pony show for the office workers who profess to care.

In the field the reality is that you can't do X, Y and Z because safety but if T, U and V don't get done on schedul-ish you and your buddies are fired so "don't ask don't tell" becomes the law of the land. In practice what this means is everything reverts to "common sense of the people doing the work" and everyone can be fired on a whim (because of the rampant safety policy violations).

Contrary to what the white collar internet may tell you, the workers aren't idiots. They don't disdain safety. They do this work every day and have plenty of experience with, PPE, equipment interlocks and guards helping them out (lord knows they're running on blow and monster energy at least one day a month). They disdain the office bound types and the clipboard warriors that don't understand the realities of the jobs they do yet feel entitled to create and perpetuate the incentive structure (in many areas, not just safety) they work under and that makes their jobs more miserable than they have to be.

My experience is with the industry in the US west, offshore and maple syrup land may be different.
