I have a big whiteboard on the wall and write my to-dos on there. Being big and in the open is important--if you can hide away the task list, it won't be effective. It needs to hang over you, literally. You need to be able to see it •unintentionally* and think "oh, right, that. Better get it done".

I also have an accountability check-in every other week with a friend, where we set goals and talk about getting them done, etc, as a means of having some accountability to someone other than ourselves.
The admin webui runs on the captain sub-domain so i'm not too sure if that can be firewalled.
They also blocked the use of Thalidomide [0], which was available over the counter in Europe. They get a lot of credit for doing that, in my opinion.

The important question is why are they blocking European formula? Is there a nutrition deficit? Are there contaminants or is it adulterated? A failure to follow Good Manufacturing Processes? [1] Or is it just that approval is still in process?

You are saying dollars are so stable, how come the Zimbabwe dollar crashed!

That’s just wordplay, algorithmic stablecoins have been problematic and crashing since the beginning and a big one just crashed. Call me when USDC or DAI crashes - specifically not Tether because it’s arguably also undercollateralized.
A recurring theme in this thread is that big tech often gives away free products as loss leaders and this kills any business that relied on selling a comparable product. I can't really think of many instances where big tech out-innovated a smaller competitor into obscurity using the same business model.

I think a lot of times they would rather just buy the company than hope that they can somehow be more innovative.

Maybe Facebook/Instagram vs Snapchat?
It sounds like you are arguing that college degrees are poor signals for one’s intelligence but then you write:

> a certain amount of wading-through-the-bullwhip tenacity (useless but mandatory curriculum -> non-questioning serf mentality)

And I think a lot of people (though not me and maybe not you) would find that that is a good description of attributes employers would like. And for many people the point of a college degree is appealing to employers rather than proving oneself to be intelligent.
I actually even go further and degoogle my android phones so it's just this quiet, open source minimalist utopia. It's magnificent.
I've followed Coffeezilla for a while. I was doing an AI course from another youtuber named Siraj Raval in 2019. The course ended up being totally amateur and full of empty promises.

Mr Zilla did a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jmBE4yPrOs
'AI Guru makes $238,800 with misleading paid course. doesn't credit developers. | Siraj Raval FGF'

Then Zilla started exclusively focusing on crypto/NFT scams. The first few were interesting. Now... its a quite tedious, "the blockchain never lies...look they pulled the rug..." yawn

I hope he goes back to covering other interesting topics again.
I'm fairly certain my life would have gone in an entirely different direction had my mom and I not decided - rather randomly - to go see this movie in theaters one weekend when I was 11.
Some of the results look outdated. The Dart results look bad (25x slower than C), but looking at the code (https://github.com/dyu/ffi-overhead/tree/master/dart) it appears to be five years old. Dart has a new FFI as of Dart 2.5 (2019): https://medium.com/dartlang/announcing-dart-2-5-super-charge... I'm curious how the new FFI would fare in these benchmarks.
What they could do,

lower tariffs, subsidize capital investment into production of lumber/housing, aggressively push and fight for higher density residential zoning, limit leverage allowed for investors of buy and hold rental properties, eliminate capital gains tax advantage for income above $1 million/year, enact temporary taxes on non essential consumption items, restart student loans (billions a month in excess spending for consumers). Etc etc

Instead they keep trying to tie BBB to inflation fighting, when its provisions are nothing of the sort.

They handed consumers far too much money, and need to suck it back up in a way that targets discretionary spending (vs essential spending). Too bad they won't...
Because a market of 38M people has fewer and smaller opportunities than a market of 334M people, assuming same relative levels of wealth.
There's also ergonomics voids in the document approach. Humans don't just use documents, they do higher order things.

As far as tech goes the US "gets back in return" the best talent coming out of Canadian universities. This isn't exactly peanuts.

If we had "reverse centrifugal force" you could create a black hole by "spinning" the thing really fast.
Until Covid hit I had a friend who would go stores in the USA, Buy baby formula at retail price and re-sell it on WeChat to wealthier people in China who she'd mail it to. She actually made a decent margin, because they really don't trust the manufactures there.
I bought all my baby formula imported from Austria. Fuck that shit, don’t trust American companies. And with all this news, glad I made that decision.

Highly unfortunate that their are families in the “greatest country in the world” who now have to literally scavenge for formula.
>> Are you reliant on discretionary consumer spending, and are you dependent on investment capital. If either of those two things are true you're going to have a tough time during a recession.

> Unless you find a way to print dollars, I don't see much option besides those two.

Selling to government, selling to business (B2B). If you're starting a company that does either of those two things, the risk is generally a lot lower because you'll have your first customer before you even start the company.
I is indeed very interesting that (at least) two readers conflate "honest" with "rude" even when I noted that this is not what I meant. FWIW, I am a very silent and very careful and empathetic person. The reason I do not fit in is that I these seem to be rare traits. Appreciated, sure, reciprocated, barely.

> Lotus followed the common pattern of burning out and losing their technical talent after they first shipped, also made too large a bet on OS/2.

Actually, this bet was made because Microsoft told Lotus OS/2 is the future. They developed a very nice spreadsheet on OS/2, but we know how that ended.

While Lotus was focusing on OS/2, M/S created their spreadsheet for Windows in secret and stole the market. Lotus did not have the resources to develop on 2 different platforms.

This is from people I knew who were high up in Lotus. Another reason to never trust M/S now that they "like Linux". :)
It’s actually easier to go to Canada than vice versa.

If you’re a skilled American, you can get PR pretty quickly once you move to Canada.

In the US? It can often be 5 years before you even get a green card.
Also see Google+ failing to accomplish much of anything positive in part by insisting on True Names like Facebook which it was trying to kill, and shutting down some accounts that failed to do this to their satisfaction.

For extra credit, the leader of the Google+ effort didn't use his True Name.

To extend this to the theme of the topic, while Google obviously displaced a lot of incumbents starting with the AltaVista search engine, do we expect this to happen in the future?
And where would one go... to one of the EU countries?
The W3C attempted to improve HTML forms with xForms, but the browser vendors are deathly afraid of anything XML based so it never got implemented.

These days HTML is really only viewed as a payload carrier for your JS application so doubt that'll ever change either.
UBlock Origin, as awesome as it is, does not remove ads from Google search results.

Sorta! You can't install it so you can't prove it's the same thing! That's the problem with a locked OS.
I'm not sure if this is true. Looking at 30 million vs 330 million in population, you'd expect cultural output to come out in a ratio of 11:1.

The arts are hyper-competitive. In the US you might think you have more of a chance because you see more successes, but I doubt the ratios are that different if you also account for more failures.

Also Canada has Québec, producing your works in French will naturally decrease the possible target audience.
I understand that, which is why this is so maddening. It's not like we're in the transition phase to new standards. We've had these rules for a while now, we shouldn't still be having to worry about the item purchased might be a problem.
It's extremely easy to move to the US from Canada with a simple letter from your employer, thanks to NAFTA/USMCA.

This is a temporary work visa, but puts you on the path to Express Entry.

With all that said, Canada has a points-based system for immigration, and language skills, technical skills, education, etc will be prioritized.
The tool should be the least interesting component of your system for getting things done. It should be so simple that it never distracts you. Trello works for me, but other things would too.

There’s no tool that can mask a lack of disciplined, conscientious work.
Why are they surprised when the org begins to resemble the content?

Only way any C-suite in america goes to jail is if their actions resulted in harm to a member of Congress or the rich.

Lot's of societies through history had slavery. Doesn't stop them being societies.
Phrased differently, there are far more job opportunities in the US vs Canada especially in tech. So what is the US gaining here handing out jobs to Canadians? And it’s not like the education systems are so different that the US is gaining some skilled labor.
It's not a looser strategy, it is just a choice and compromise. You can't do or have everything. Sometimes you have to give things up to get other things you want.

You prioritized one are over another and there is nothing wrong with that.
This is an open debate, and claiming that there's a conclusive answer isn't really accurate. As usual, there's more nuance.

Further, the heritability of potential for high IQ isn't really in question. Put another way, it looks like environment can severely diminish the IQ of a potential high IQ child, but it can't probably can't severely raise the IQ of a child born to low IQ parents.

What is heritable is the potential. Environment determines, to an extent, how fulfilled that potential ends up being. This is why smart kids can study and increase their IQ test scores.
Good for crypto. I'm a crypto enthusiast and I think crypto has a great future and work in the field.

However because of many scammy projects the whole crypto ecosystem now has a bad name.

I'd love to see more and more scams being exposed for healthy adoption with less manipulation and real investment to projects that have the potential to change things instead of 400000% APYs.
Surely it's a reference to twitter buying out vine, and killing it off for a strange twitter equivalent that got axed pretty quick?
From what I have seen Apple chips have made significant improvements in the external display experience.
I had my garden remodelled with a private parking space. And when I had an electrician in, I had him install cabling to the parking space, so that an EV charger could be installed (the sparks also provided a fuse-box for the charger).

I moved out. I now let that home, and my tenant doesn't drive; so he doesn't drive an EV. If he did, I'd have my sparks install a charger at no cost to my tenant.

I also would object to obelisks blocking the footway. There's already too much crap blocking the footway (recycling bins; electric scooters). The crap makes people angry - especially blind people. Doesn't surprise me at all.
They shouldn't shy away from controversial content for fear of offending people.
An approach is to legislate the amount of bonding required in processed foods to be significant enough that the bond seller has a proper incentive to ensure their risk-to-reward calculation is reasonably accurate by hiring their own agencies to perform adequate testing.
Does that keep the list up to date? I use the things widget on my phone's home screen. It doesn't update unless I tap it, which makes it pretty useless. I just open the app (when I remember to).
Windows Notepad. Simple, plain text. I've developed my own annotation and formatting system (CAPS for titles, single dashes for bullets, indented dashes for sub-bullets, triple-asterisks for follow-up, and so on). I've been using it since Windows 3.1.

To expand on this, there are also industries and product categories that died from tech.

Travel planning agencies. Print media, especially local newspapers. Traveler’s guides & maps.

Small niche tech industries being consumed by more general products; i.e., smartphones reducing to irrelevance dedicated GPS devices, MP3 players, DVD players, calculators, landline phones, and point-and-shoot cameras.
Right but we're here because the domestic food supply is... Unreliable at the moment for baby formula. So we can't import European formula because we need to protect the domestic food supply for national security? Wtf?

I think music has this acute, potent and almost universal power of reminding someone he is a sentient being, which is the expression of pure meaning.
Classifies, now on Craigslist. There were many pulp magazines (like Want-Ads) that are gone, never mind the newspaper industry which is dying a very slow death.
For example, I have interviewed candidates with professional experience who weren't able to correctly write a function to find the minimum element in the array. This is what I meant by "basic things".
Ah. The answer to that is a lot more murky, since in an actual C/C++ program you're going to have a mix of local, static, and dynamic linking. You're generally not putting super chatty stuff across a dynamic linkage, since that tends to be where the stable API boundaries go. Anything internal is then going to be static linkage, so comparable to luajit, or inlined (either by the compiler initially or with something like LTO) and then even faster than luajit
Always fun when a co worker decides to write a custom todo app for the company.

> I try to consider productivity holistically though. With Go, there's a lot less fussing with the tooling. I've also found Go saves a lot of time when onboarding new teammates. This is because of Go's intentional decision to be conservative with syntax. After all, most developer time is spent reading, not writing.

Ultimately you will be teaching the framework, not the language, when it comes to large frameworks like this. Both Go and Python are easy to learn, but frameworks always add a lot of complexity.

> I respectfully disagree with your preference to split your backend up over gRPC or HTTPS. I prefer the approach Shopify takes to break up it's monolith:

I'm not arguing for this or that architecture cargo cult. I prefer monoliths too, but sometimes you really need distributed microservices and Go+gRPC is one of the most maintainable ways to do that.
There’s only 37 million people in Canada, so there’s a legit desire to protect and develop a national sense of Canada rather than becoming a vassal.

We have a amazing peaceful border and trade relationship. Unfortunately due to the internet the US is a major exporter of insane politics.
They know the Luna wallet address and all the BTC that was in it.

They just don't know what some of the addresses it was sent to are.
This is the problem with the internet, it’s so hard to tell satire from actual cranks.
You can't infer from our failure to not exist that cosmic rays hitting Earth never create black holes. All you can infer is that any such black holes aren't dangerous. That still is sufficient to support your overall thesis that since cosmic ray black holes are not a problem we don't have to worry about black holes from colliders so your overall point stands.

Black holes formed by cosmic rays hitting Earth would not be dangerous because they would be very very small. Most likely they would very quickly decay via Hawking radiation, but even if they did not decay for some reason they would be so small that very little would actually fall into them.

Small black holes created in the early universe, big enough to not noticeably decay in the billions of years since and so much bigger than those cosmic rays hitting Earth might create, are actually taken seriously as one of the candidates for dark matter. Even those, which would be much larger than anything cosmic rays or colliders might make, would be sufficiently hard for things to actually fall into that they could pass right through you without you noticing.
I’m also not sure what you mean. What is Anglo style education? I feel like my university experience in the US is heavily Humboldtian [1] in two specific ways: the general education requirements which explicitly stated goals of producing world citizens and teaching broad non-vocational reasoning skills and history lessons, and second, doing research as an undergraduate and later as a graduate, in research universities.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldtian_model_of_higher_ed...

Also curious what you mean by thinking of education as an investment being part of the problem. What is the problem, and why does framing education as investment contribute? Are you talking about purely financial forms of investment? Education is widely viewed as social, cultural investment by society, as well as economic investment, and this is widely agreed to be a good thing, isn’t it? At the personal level, education is also viewed as a career & future financial security investment, and this also seems reasonable, no? I feel like the most important investment my education bought me was the freedom to choose my career path over time. Had I not gone to university, I do believe my choices would be more constrained than they are today.
Covid has changed this quite a bit, though even pre covid this wasn't exactly true depending on your profession.

Pre-covid, Canada was the place to be for working in film/tv , visual effects and animation in terms of jobs. I skimmed it but the author didn't mention exactly what creative vocation they were in but given they said Nashville, it's unlikely to be in these fields.

Post Covid, success as a developer can mean working remote for a US company, and that is a huge tide change recently.

You're suddenly getting US rates, minus the currency conversion, in Canada. Better yet, you can get silicon valley rates.
It's probably difficult (at best) to arrange here & now...but my grandmother (in small town America, close to a century ago) served as wet nurse to a neighbor woman who was unable to feed her baby. I don't know what money or favors changed hand, but grandma was probably a touch higher in social status than the neighbor.
I use todoist [1]. What I like about it is that it is very easy to add tasks and that all the tasks are actionable (tasks don’t have length, the happen at a specific time)

This is cool, but it doesn't seem like Switch is implemented for Int, and the use of runtime reflection limits the contexts in which this implementation can be used, compared to a language construct that gets compiled into efficient machine code. I wouldn't want this to be endemic in my codebase or my dependencies.
True for me, too. I was 20 then and undecided between lawyer and computer science. Easier choice after seeing the movie.

Same, GTD on a paper planner, because many times I can do planning work but don't feel like staring at a screen.

But regarding OP's question about TODO lists, a TODO list should go nowhere near a GTD system. It should go on "project reference/planning", and maybe slowly be moved to "next actions" as needed. But dropping traditional TODO lists on GTD is a bit of a misunderstanding of the system.
I periodically print a to-do list on a quarter-panel of an 8 1/2" x 11" paper sheet. I fold it twice (by length and width) and carry it in my back pocket. I may add to-do items to it with a pen or pencil. I cross off finished items.

When most items are completed I create a new updated list and toss the old one into a "pile" (my favorite data structure!).
