This is an easy formulation but not necessarily optimal. In particular the step 1 is not well defined, and any further definition results in a non-optimal encoding.

Say we have n = 6 and k = 3 and we've already seen 4; what are possible choices at this point? If you allow 3 here it would be equivalent to picking 3 first then 4 and there would be a redundant encoding. You can "fix" this by fixing the order, so without a loss of generality let's assume a strictly increasing order. Then the worst case would be (1, 2, 3), where N is respectively 6, 5 and 4, resulting in log_2 120 = 6.90 bits of information entropy instead of the optimal log_2 24 = 4.32 bits.

The real fix would involve counting each subcases. There are 10 strictly increasing sequences starting with 1, 6 starting with 2, 3 starting with 3 and one starting with 4. The step 1 should account for this non-uniform distribution at the first place. The combinatorial number system described in the OP does this automatically.

That's a very human centric way of framing the issue.

There is no environment that need saving. Carbon emissions are merely changing the environment in a way that may not be convenient for a lot of humans.

You're just saving the status quo of human society, not "reinvesting in the Earth".

If by environment you mean species of animals you should worry more about plastic and trash than carbon emissions.

Related: I wrote Aude [1] (AUtomata DEmystifier) as a student. You can draw finite state machines with it. You can apply algorithms on those FSMs. You can run words on them. You'll see an animation of the word being run and you can choose the speed of the animation or run it step by step. You can translate them into regular expressions and translate regular expressions into FSMs. It'll use GraphViz to render the FSMs when you are not drawing them yourself.

(since this is mainly for teaching, the regular expression language that it supports is very simple, it's not PCRE!)

The animation in this article looks quite similar to the "Run word" feature in Aude, though the regular expression's elements of syntax like operators and parenthesis don't appear in FSMs produced by Aude.

WebAssembly was not a thing, asm.js had just appeared. Aude uses a version of GraphViz compiled in asm.js to convert DOT strings to SVG.

I still am unable to get resume from deep sleep to be less than 12-15 seconds. I dug the forums, contacted support, did all the things, but nothing works. If I go to s2idle it is instant, but that takes way too much battery.

Even with deep sleep the battery life feels very short. I haven't done formal tests, but I also have a macbook for work, and the difference is quite noticeable. I very often come to open the framework after a few hours of sleep and it just ran itself out of battery. This never happens with the macbook.

Don't get me wrong, I love the framework, and I love that it's "open", and fixable - so I'm willing to live with that. But just comparing it to another laptop, I'm not sure I'd give it 10 out of 10.

>All sorts of people of all ages are unwilling or unable to update their knowledge of new tech, there is no reason to link this characteristic to someones advanced age.

In 1998 I was in a web development class with a guy, and one time I went by his house and he showed me his little resume site he was working on. It was really nice looking, he had a great sense of design, I could have made it but I couldn't have designed it. But it was all table based, so I showed him CSS and extolled its virtues.

After which he exclaimed furiously "That's the problem with this industry, there's always new things to learn!"

He was just starting out and was already unwilling to update his knowledge of new tech!

I think he's working as a SiteCore admin in Dental association now. I'm pretty sure he has a nice work life balance, so make of that what you will.

It seems you have outgrown your current job. You have two choices – you can choose to stay in the same company but define yourself a different role/responsibility that would be personal growth for you and grow into it or you can leave your current company and try a different place.

Based on some elements in your description – POC, Architectural discussions, code reviews, code stats etc. – I think your organization may not be very bad. They seem to care about reasonably good things and they seem to have recognized your contributions and pull you into discussions and enable you to contribute and expand your influence. You can take a goal for yourself to uplevel the people around you and also help hire better talented/skilled people.

Also, if you simply spoke with your manager about your feeling of having to pull the most weight in the team, you may get more information – it may be as per your perception or you may get a new perspective. Best of luck.

This looks great! Can't wait to use it for my next trip. Thanks for building it. One minor UX tweak that wasn't entirely obvious to me at first was why the date picker was a range.

It's not a city-only thing, the loudest place I've ever lived was a tiny town in Appalachia which (like everywhere in Appalachia) was on a hill, and motorcycles and trucks would deafen us at all hours as they revved up the hill. Over a decade of my childhood was spent being woken up every hour of every night because of inconsiderate jagoffs defeating their mufflers, and cops who didn't give a damn. Ironically, I moved to a city and it's far quieter.

Developments in the physical world take longer than in software. A lot of things are overhyped because people don’t understand the difference between a controlled experiment and a finished industrial product. But it’s not because the hype decreases that we won’t find uses in the future. So yeah, graphite was overhyped, pretty much like high temperature superconductors or other scientific fads of the last 50-odd years. This does not mean that we will never get anything useful out of this (high temperature superconductors found some use cases about 40 years after they were cool and new; there are many other examples).

Have you switched jobs on a while? It sounds a little like you’re also describing being deeply embedded in your organization and having social capital there.

I’d suggest switching jobs. You’ll lose the social capital and have new tech to learn. The stress and work of reaccumulating those should distract you for a hot minute
In 2008 social networking, casual gaming, and Web 2.0 were the hot new emerging product category. That's what everyone (me included) was founding and funding. Hell, Hacker News dates from that wave.

Mobile was an interesting curiosity that had piqued a lot of interest, but people didn't really know what to make of it. Same with cloud, which had just started with AWS. I remember folding up my casual game-creation startup (think Roblox on the web) in 2008 and thinking of my next move, and briefly thinking "Maybe I'll just go learn Android or iPhone development. Nah, I'd have to completely retool my skillset and I still don't see how something with such a small screen could be useful."

Electric cars are almost certainly not the equivalent today - everybody knows how and why you'd use an electric car, there's billions in capital going into the space, and all the major incumbents have electric car plans.

I'd bet on something like drones, 3D-printing, DeFi, multi-device ecosystems, robotics, or hardware. Look for something that people (particularly kids) are interested in; recently gotten cheap enough for hobbyists to play with it; there are lots of players in the market and few incumbents; limited regulatory barriers; and we don't really know what it's for yet.
Precisely; and that's a big reason I would disagree with the OP and say that the method of "do in 2 hours what takes someone else 8 then take the day off" is actually a bad strategy for managing stress.

First; you're gonna become an SME on something. SMEs get Pings. If you're in your "not work" time at 3pm, playing Valorant or whatever, and get a ping; that's going to be annoying. That annoyance isn't justified; its not Right; but that is what you'll feel.

The more important thing is really to set and communicate boundaries. The standard boundary is 9 to 5; so set that, 9am you're on and giving it everything, 5pm you're off and giving it nothing (outside of on-call and whathaveyou, which is a separate problem).

It doesn't matter if you can do in two hours what takes others eight; you can't set a 10 to noon boundary. So; you'd have to lie. And its not just a lie to the company; its a lie to yourself. It'll start with "oh yeah im work from home, I'll still keep slack open and respond to pings but this will be me time". Then that me time turns into personal time, which turns into "yeah I can grab drinks at 2pm on a thursday" time, and it legitimately can spiral.

The weird part for me, and I assume some others is: you can't set boundaries in this environment. Maybe its guilt, I don't know. But if you're only on-on for two hours, then kinda-on for... how long? All day? If the 2pm ping induces the same feeling of annoyance as an 8pm ping would, they're not different; and you may become the person to go to if someone needs help at 8pm. Resentment follows: "I'm out with friends, why are they pinging me this late"; but do you not respond? Do you respond "my working hours are 9 to 5 so expect a response then?" Do you believe that when you say it (that's the ironic part; a part of me would).

Public health is always political, firstly because it relies on taxpayer funding, but more importantly here, controlling pandemics requires restrictions on individual liberties.

We can (and should) debate the merits and necessity of lockdowns, mask wearing, etc., but to argue that the government has no right to restrict liberties is somewhat disingenuous — governments have always had the right and power to quarantine.

City noise pollution is a factor in all-cause mortality due to
long-term, barely perceptible stress effects on the cardiovascular
system. Unfortunately, one of the most disturbing and frequency sources
of city noise pollution is from emergency vehicle sirens.

I gave a presentation at the Audio Engineering Society titled
"Iatrogenic Sound", on the tragic irony of how sirens may causally
contribute to the heart attacks and strokes that ambulances are
rushing to treat.

We were exploring the acoustics of urban design and the sound-design
of sirens. The sweeping "wailer" siren is in fact one of the worst
possible designs imaginable - all the wrong characteristics for
locatability of source, annoyance versus attention ratio, penetration
of dwellings etc. Add to that the design of modern "luxury" cars which
are soundproofed, fitted with anti-noise and blaring ICE systems to
block the world out.

There isn't an easy solution. Most laws give police, fire and
ambulance crews "discretion" in the use of sirens. In the UK that's
Article 99. But here, the removal of crown immunity and insurance
pressures mean the crew now always deploy, even at times of night
when it would have previously been illegal under other laws. I expect
the same complex spheres of interest clash in NYC too.
I think you need to look at ‘low density’ and compare it to historical (Paleolithic) population density.

It must be a stress response, so even lower density areas feel some of the pressures of overpopulation (resource scarcity, etc).

Maybe you can write software to help make others more efficient, by empowering them to do more by themselves. Give people superpowers they don’t have at other orgs. Things coming to mind:

- Code editor plugins (or web or mobile apps) tailored to your org‘s workflows

- Language changes in case your org is using an OSS lang

- Libraries for often-used functionality

- DSLs that let your org‘s PMs encode behavior themselves

- Small utility apps (web or mobile) that facilitate more effective communication

- Dev tools for your stack, eg if you don’t have hot reloading yet, that’s a huge enabler

- Test data generators

- You mentioned that you setup automation. Take it a level further and let other devs create scripts by preparing an environment (maybe an IDE) for that
