I agree your perspective, but the salt could be cheaply tested at various stages for whatever contaminants you’re afraid of. How much testing do you think is done on the lettuce you eat? Or the beef you buy? Or the flame retardants in your carpet, clothing, flooring, and furniture? What about the bpa alternatives in all good grade plastics? What about Teflon’s and other forever chemicals? The answer is only as little as everyone can get away with because the people with authority don’t have the means to deal with their actual workload or the fallout of shutting down massive companies indefinitely. Ignorance ain’t bliss, but it may be better than knowing I’m powerless against the greedy fascists mortgaging the survivability of earth for yachts, drugs, and vanity today.

They blame government spending
Netflix has been offering originals since 2013. Since then, Disney has had 13 1 billion dollar grossing movies and has five studios that are proven capable of making sustainable hits. Small studios like Ghibli aren’t going to compete with that.

Besides, for Disney, streaming is “a feature not a product”. They can afford to put more money into content because they have more ways to monetize.
I think we all understand that tools are just tools. But when a tool is as widely misused as OKRs are, there's probably something wrong with the tool.
> Plop the rinds into your next tomato sauce, ragù, or soup and let it simmer. Remove whatever is left of the rind just before serving.

The hazard of leaving it on the balance sheet is the Fed having massive exposure to something that they probably shouldn't.

Which isn't really a problem... because it's impossible for the Fed to get called in the way a bank would if there's a housing crash.

But is probably less than ideal... as it's just weird to have the Fed holding that much mortgage debt directly.

Your mentor almost sounds black and white. There are plenty of interesting, genuine people at “boring” companies.

You don’t have to take risks and financial sacrifices to be interesting. And being an entrepreneur isn’t the end all solution to happiness, no matter how many Steve Jobs movies they crank out.
This post talksabout literals still being encoded with huffman tables and stuff.

However, it appears this must be optional, because short strings compressed with zstd pass through 'unencoded', apart from a header and footer added:

$ echo "hello world" | zstd | hexdump -C
00000000 28 b5 2f fd 04 58 61 00 00 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 |(./..Xa..hello w|
00000010 6f 72 6c 64 0a 8c 6d 7d 20 |orld..m} |

As an aside, I'm fairly disappointed that zstd didn't use a single byte header for uncompressible strings, so that they could guarantee that the compressed data will never be more than 1 byte larger than the source data. That property is very useful where lots of tiny strings are being compressed, such as in a database.
That doesn't mean it's right and most people haven't researched this they are just told it by the media
If you want to be "exciting" (the opposite of boring) you'll always feel like you aren't living up to your potential; just like how power lifters always think their muscles are small and anorexic instagram models don't think they're skinny enough. Balance is much more rewarding.

Do good work, work that pays, that you're good at, that you can be proud of. Then go home. Switch off, and enjoy your hobbies. Learn an instrument, get good at cooking exotic foods, and find a workout routine you enjoy.

If you want to indulge your big ideas, read voraciously, and code up side-projects. Write a blog, or a book, or something like that. But don't try to make money from it. Betting your livelihood on your ideas puts too much pressure on, and you won't be happy. Most entrepreneurs aren't happy, not even the wealthy ones.

This doesn't fix the underlying problem. The vast majority of local governments make it very expensive or outright impossible to add significant amounts of housing via zoning and density bans. Pushing businesses into other areas will simply drive up housing prices in other markets, not to mention accelerate suburban climate arson.

The solution is to remove tariffs on imported wood to make new housing cheaper and to punish municipalities with racial segregationist-era housing/zoning policies.
Is this somehow related to Tesla being taken out of the S&P ESG index? Seems like it from his timeline but at the same time I'm not seeing a connection between the two.

> Why exactly does [the housing market] need support ?

For "homebuilders, real estate agents, and other influential industry groups," there is unlikely an upper bound to the support they feel they need.
Yeah I think the interaction is a key part. People are confusing AGI with useful AI. DALL-E is very clearly useful even if 90% of the images it produced were unusable. The time save is still large and cost reduced for simple tasks. Same with language models. They may have a hard time staying consistent over long sequences but adding human selective pressure to responses saves everyone time and money. But this is very clearly different from a machine that can think and form new ideas on its own. We're still a long way from that.
Stay alive!

But if the inflation is not due to overconsumption in the US, but about global problems with supply side issues on the front and China in lockdown not helping at all, how does it make sense to cause a housing crash?

I certainly think the fed should stop to build the bubble, but it should also not go all in and crash everything.
I want to compare OKRs to Performance Reviews and Roadmapping. They’re all worthwhile ideas that can bring discipline and structure to the chaotic world of business, all dreaded by their participants for some reason.

It's not mysterious, why those things are hated.

In business, there are innate conflicts of interest. The company wants to suck as much out of people, and pay as little, as it can. You want... something else. Not to be exploited. To have a career. To make more money. Doesn't matter. The company is a paperclip maximizer and you are made of atoms it can use for something else. When you write OKRs, you have to generate information that will only be used against you--never for you. You have to pretend that you're doing this out of some sense of mutuality when, in fact, the situation is inherently adversarial.

You might have a decent manager. Great. That happens sometimes. However, all these devices exist as ways for companies to make managers unable to protect their own people. That's why "Agile" time-tracking exists. That's why there are two management structures (product and people management) for reptilian executives to pit against each other. That's why performance reviews with failure quotas exist. For your boss to be able to protect you from the company is the last thing the company wants.

I don't think I've ever met a person that believes contraception should be illegal, I'm sure they're out there though. I'd be willing to bet that set of people is far, far smaller than those that think abortion is wrong, and I wouldn't call contraception particularly controversial or opposition to contraception a mainstream view by any means.

Sexual education is another topic, a lot of people oppose it to one degree or another, we all have ideas about what a kid should learn about and at what age, it isn't that unreasonable to say that a parent should have the final say in their children's education, but with that should come more responsibility which it seems many parents don't want to take on.
If housing prices deflate more than 20%, nearly everyone who bought a house with 20% down in the past 2 years will be underwater, no?
I'm fine with providing developers an option to disable checks, as they already had previously with the nochecks option. But why make it the default? If you chose to use typescript over javascript, then you clearly care about type correctness, so why stop caring when it comes to your dependencies? As far as I'm aware, there's no other typed language that let's you do that. I don't see Rust developers complaining that they can't use broken dependencies.

If you really wanted to import a broken dependency, at least with typescript you can compile the dependency to plain javascript which will remove all types (and thus all type errors as well). But to disable type checks by default for a typed language seems a bit odd.

And to be clear, this is still an "all-or-nothing" approach. When you disable checks, it's "nothing". Deno will still compile even if there are type errors in your own code. (At least that's what I'm assuming, I haven't tested the nochecks option yet. Please correct me if I'm wrong)
Just curious, how does the Fed selling Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae/Ginny Mae mortgage backed securities cause a shift in the markets? What's the likelihood the Fed would actually do something like that?
Rust is Turing complete. There's nothing a Rust library can't do, there are only ways in which rust cannot do things. I think the whole point of rust is to not do things in ways that the computer can't prove are correct.

But like any language, it gives you other ways to do those things. It's almost like stack overflow's habit of telling people to do something else instead of what they asked, but enforced by the compiler so your manager can't make you do it the "simple and interesting but unsafe way".

There are a lot more libraries in the world than language writers, and there are bugs in libraries.

Plus, you often have to malloc and free and all that even if you are using libraries for everything. Mistakes happen, CVEs happen, and the world loses trust in software a little more every time.

> The Mac Studio isn't some crazy exotic hardware like datacenter class GPUs, but definitely has some exotic capabilities.

Datacenter class GPUs are expensive yeah, but are quite easy to buy, even in a single unit amount.

example: https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/nvidia-ampere-a100-pcie... for the first random link, but there are other stores selling them for significantly cheaper.

I wonder what their CPU pricing will be though... we'll see I guess.
Laymen are mentioned for a reason.

In any case, "personality tests" is not the same as psychometrics. Just like astrology being fraudulent doesn't imply astronomy being unscientific, Myers Briggs being bullshit says nothing about the validity of psychometrics.

It's astonishing. If this line of reasoning was used against other fields of science, many people here would call it out immediately, but psychology is apparently always fair game.

(NB: I don't believe psychometrics are very good indicators in the hiring process.)
It doesn't seem like paraphrasing to me. I can imagine two people writing about this same topic coming up with both of those examples independently. Bello's paragraph includes specifics that aren't even in the supposed source.

If the market will pay yield X for a long-term bond of a certain duration, banks can make money by offering mortgages for X plus some margin.

The Fed selling MBSs should just depress yields in general.

Just checked and pypy has the same speed as JS (instant). You are right that this is not what the most people use when working with Python and there is package incompatibility.

I am curious but don't have the time to check would the same result be for a regex?
Awesome, glad to hear, would love to take a look whenever it's available! Looking at the docs it seems like the current state of the product is much more about subscriptions than usage based billing (e.g. no aggregation or rating). Any plans to add those in?

The best thing about OKRs

People: It helps companies dump as many people/contractors as it can afford into a pod.
Result: It supports this[0] kind of development process

That said, there will always be one or two genuine workaholics in every pod who
write enough code to show something tangible.
That helps keep the OKR/Agile business go on forever.

Your mentor wishes they weren’t boring.

Nearly everybody’s boring (myself included). Don’t sweat it.
how independent is it really if they are printing money to buy treasury bonds?
Agreed. Home buyers 2017+ are pretty leveraged though. Any labor tightening will for sure increase foreclosures in this group. I don't see a run on mortgages. It is funny how people map the past to the future.
If the Fed "loses" money by buying high and selling low, it means dollars have been created with no mechanism by which they can be retired, because the Fed has no corresponding assets they could use to exchange them for. This creates permanent inflation/dilution of the currency.
A good part was paid for. The bank bailouts for example made the Fed some not insignificant amount of money.
Thats sorta crazy for just lead solder. City water? What is the ph? Cause most of the city systems run the ph slightly basic to assure the water isn't trying to etch the pipes, and that also keeps the lead from leaching. That was actually the problem in flint, they let the water system ph get to low and it started to leach out of the pipes which is why originally they denied there was a problem (testing the water at the source).

Less is more, especially later:

- Career-wise*, work with good people on something important, maybe switch it up every 3-5 years. That is under your control and steady. Professionally, daily wins/losses, keeping up with joneses, etc. don't matter when you can point to these. Likewise, your trajectory is largely kept on lock by your peers as well. Skipping out on any of these causes problems like you're finding. Doing lots of tiny things doesn't add up after a point, and instead distracts from getting anywhere on the good ones. Working with bad teams, bad companies, and bad projects make it hard to progress as well. So line up the basics and no longer a concern -- just progressing on the mission largely takes care of the rest.

- Same-but-different home-wise.

*This kind of advice doesn't apply to ultra-political orgs like FAANGS or say banks.

Nah I prefer to park my cash in highly volatile equities indexes, a basket of commodities fluctuating madly due to pandemic related effects, or real estate as a hail mary that my wealth won't be inflated to hell. Having central bank rates at 5+% below inflation is basically a nice way of asking people to desperately pump money into any speculative asset they can find before the roaring fire behind it incenerates it.
My use case was doing remote language classes. I had multiple programs open on my desktop and had my lesson book on my desk in front of me. I was looking at slides that I had to read, with PDFs open next to the slides shared during the video call. Joining on a phone was prohibitive compared to joining from my desktop.

I’d imagine anything where I need to read slides/notes on a screen would suck if done via a phone. In fact, the only time I use my phone is if my video is off and I am listening passively.

> The 2020 housing boom will not blow up like in 2008 because today's mortgage backed securities are much more stable than the C-tier CDOs of yester-year

CDOs did not blow up the housing market. The housing market blew up the CDO market.

In 2007, people said the exact same thing, and by every single metric the housing market is far more extended than it was then.
Why even ask about this? The person's manager has to set, and enforce a deadline, or the employee has effectively negotiated a permanent work-from-home agreement. If you want to fire them, do so, but otherwise- the company failed at negotiation. The only thing the employee shouldn't do (if they are) is lie about the reason to stay home.
Sometimes it can be overwhelming being told what your “potential” is. And just because someone said you have good ideas it doesn’t mean being an entrepreneur is right for you.

Literally the most important thing you can do in life is find that balance that works for you. Being an entrepreneur isn’t for everyone and there’s no shame in that.

Maybe take a step back and think “what would I regret not doing when I’m 30?” It might be start a family, travel the world, write a book. Or it might be start a business. But don’t push yourself into that direction just because someone said you can/should do it.
Sure. It's just odd synecdoche.
As with engineering, it's all tradeoffs. It's important to keep your "economic, social, and physiological" factors in check, and it's important to keep growing and keep pushing your limits to become better at the things you're interested in; the most important thing to do is to keep those things in balance, and adjust that balance when opportunities arise.

I can illustrate this with an example. Having started my career shortly before the pandemic, I realized that it was pretty unlikely I'd be able to build out my network or get sufficient investment as the pandemic trudged on. The social and physiological factors mattered less, so I chose to double down on my job and skipped a bit of the social and physiological maintenance I could have been doing.

As a result, I got really good at my job and accelerated my career and made a ton of impact. I got my career into a place that I'd be comfortable coasting at for the time being. And now I have the time to focus on those other factors, now that people are out and about and these things are beginning to matter again.

Being entrepreneurial will mean different things throughout your life. Until you have a network and the resources and the skills necessary to start your own thing, you may want to spend time building those things up rather than starting something from the outset and learning everything the hardest way possible. In 2018, Harvard Business Review suggested the average age of the successful startup founder was 45,[1] and YC's Winter 2018 stats show that the average applicant/founder age was ~30.[2] So at least there's some indication that you have some time between now and then.

And there's nothing wrong with taking smaller steps towards your goal. If you're looking to build up experience, you can work at a startup or start an open source project or look for leadership experience. You can do creative things without it necessarily being immediately entrepreneurial.

tl;dr: take it easy, work on making yourself more ready for opportunities, and adjust how you balance your life based on the opportunities that are actually available to you and actually worth taking.

You can borrow against most assets you own. Margin in your stock account, a mortgage or HELOC, etc. Credit cards are essentially based on your ability to repay much like borrowing against your future cheese revenue.
Interesting, I've never heard of it before. I was aware that there were better standards than zip, however adoption was always an issue with licenses. If this is as open, is it purely an issue of wide adoption?

We're stuck in the C++ paradigm (I'm sure there is a better name), where everyone agree this isn't "ideal", that there is better, but not widely adopted enough?

I am aware, but anybody that takes even a cursory look at it knows that it was "legislating from the bench" as it were. And you might be OK with that, you might be happy about it because you think abortion should be enumerated. But it is plain as day that it isn't, and doesn't fall within the scope of any enumerated right, or within the direct purview of the federal government and therefore outside of that of the states.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it. Hearing anecdotes like that makes writing worthwhile.
We're living in a world where we've lost the idea of art. There is still real art being produced, but the dominant philosophy of art no longer has any connection to humans. There's no place for humans as producers or viewers of art in their philosophy any more. Well, as a human, that idea (and the "art" it produces) seems literally inhuman to me.
