I think it’s more like we grow wheat where corn won’t grow well.

Saskatchewan isn’t going to support a big corn crop, but wheat, pulses and oats do very well.

These are part of a propaganda strategy to make people feel like they're "helping". They are not an effective or efficient way of improving food availability. If you enjoy gardening as a hobby, that's great, but these are not practical bulwarks against food shortages.

The economies of scale in industrial farming are insane. The ROI on a personal garden is abysmally low, except for herbs and other low-volume plants.
Sorry that you're getting downvoted, this is a totally accurate and well informed take
Great question. The master key of PSP is stored in the NIC and shipped with the device. That's how authenticity is provided. Other than that, it's focused on confidentiality and integrity.
Definitely. It starts from first principles, linear algebra, and goes from there. It's an amazing course.

More than that one guy we all had to work with one time and wished we didn't? The one who bigs himself up over how much he knows, insists on making himself a constant obstacle to gratify his fragile ego, and that's why nobody actually wants to work with him?

Yeah, I don't know why it should come as a surprise that hiring managers don't especially like that guy. No one else does either.
There once was a boy keeping watch. He cried out "Wolf! wolf!" And the villagers came, and saw the wolf was quite far away, and not a danger yet.

The next night, the boy cried out "Wolf! Wolf!" And while the wolf was at the gate, it didn't seem to be hurting anybody. After all, the boy and his village were fine still, and there could be benefits to the wolf.

The third night, the boy did not cry wolf. The villagers discovered him dead the next morning next to the village free-range wolf. A great meeting was held, and it was decided that since most people were safe and secure and able to live their lives normally, we must all adapt to the new normal and learn to live with the wolf.
Yes but I don't see them making that claim, but they should. Maybe you misread my comment, I wasn't saying "are you even going to claim that _Buddhism_ has led to war crimes?", I'm asking if the poster will also commit to that point, since they must also do so logically

I am not sure how to do it, but some futures-plus arrangement might improve incentives - say sell your crop as a future, but with a (gov supported) price cap - so if the price goes through the roof the farmer gets a share of the overage.

Not sure how much difference it will make but agriculture is kind of important
You didn't mention your actual life and what makes you happy, aside from mentioning you are lonely and stressed.

If you're happy with the pay/location, work less. Most people really only have a few hours a day of full-on productivity. A large part of many jobs is station.

Maybe teach or do something so working less is less obvious, because that would be noticed. But get a life, something that lets you enjoy moving around and engage with people who aren't part of work. It's very, very unhealthy to just work. And don't forget, the only 'reward' for being a committed worker in this situation is more work. You will be taken for granted.

A lot of comments are about becoming an "actual" 10x developer. But that's contextual. If you're solving problems for a company or people you care about, great. Otherwise, tech comes and goes, keep the focus on quality but otherwise it's unlikely there's much meaning to "better" work unless you're creating something deeply reusable or are in research.
Last week Russia announced a record harvest for '22. Maybe this is completely unrelated.

That's how I feel now at my first post doc. I feel frustrated and bored already with no real mentorship or any prospect of growth. I'm really eager to be in a place where people love what they do and continuously be challenged. That's why I'm seriously considering leaving academia
Post your numbers.
I took this when it was mlcourse along with the aicourse by Peter Norvig. I was in research at the time. They were entertaining, but certainly mainly an intellectual curiosity for both academics and practitioners. Nowadays

"I have completed 71% of all story points in 2022, the other 9 are responsible for the other 29%" -- this is close to the 2080 rule: 20% of the people doing 80% of the work. And yes "If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.”

I work in a similar situation(a startup), the few very senior peers I work with basically can not code, they're probably much better compensated than me. There a few junior developers actually pick up stuff faster and can produce some code at the end of the day. Overall I could hardly learn a thing and feel lonely all the time. And yes I'm thinking about leaving but in the meanwhile changing company too frequently is not good, I will just hang on for a few more months.

The OP should just find a more challenging company to work for is my suggestion.

It makes me think about how Bernie Madoff's cellmate in prison assaulted Madoff because, he said, Madoff owed him money. That is, after the fake account scandal, it's believable that Wells Fargo would fake everything else.
Growing a garden and raising livestock are pretty different in practice & impact from my experience. Assuming you voluntarily moved into the zoning and "Karen" objected to you violating them, it's all on you.
Corn is a whole lot more productive, if you can grow it, you do. Wheat grows in places you can't grow corn.
This sounds like we don't know how to sound.
You would think that with a food catastrophe on the way - the current administration's finest minds wouldn't be encouraging even higher corn prices (already at a 10 year high in April) with this mix of legislative action:

> Washington announced the EPA will allow a 50% increase in corn-based biodiesel and ethanol fuel mix for the summer. On April 12 the Secretary of Agriculture announced a “bold” initiative by the US Administration to increase the use of domestically-grown corn-ethanol biofuels

Or with what I can only call absolutely diabolical sabotage of food production:

CF Industries of Deerfield, Illinois, the largest US supplier of nitrogen fertilizers as well as a vital diesel engine additive, issued a press release stating that:

"On Friday, April 8, 2022, Union Pacific informed CF Industries without advance notice that it was mandating certain shippers to reduce the volume of private cars on its railroad effective immediately."

"The timing of this action by Union Pacific could not come at a worse time for farmers. Not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipping restrictions, but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all. By placing this arbitrary restriction on just a handful of shippers, Union Pacific is jeopardizing farmers’ harvests and increasing the cost of food for consumers."

CF has made urgent appeals to the government for remedy, so far with no positive action

No, the misinformation was that it contained evidence that Biden stole the election, or Biden's child porn stash, or proved Biden engaged in corrupt dealings with Russia, was a Chinese spy, or whatever other shit Trumpists wanted to fling any particular week. Hunter Biden's laptop is like a box with Schroedinger's conspiracy theory inside - before you look it contains the superposition every possible scandal, lie and smoking gun, after you look it contains nothing.

But I don't think anyone ever claimed that Hunter Biden didn't own a laptop. It would be very unusual if that were the case.
Hi, thanks for your post, you mentioned in the comments that you have good systems that allows you to write code well, do you mind sharing what are those systems? Or where could we learn them? I definitely don't see your post as bragging but more inspirational and I would like to learn how to type code like that and be that kind of developer that ships good quality products.

Kind regards.
"Farmers have nowhere to store their next harvest, due to start in late June, which may therefore rot."

In Saskatchewan (where I grew up on a farm), when the grain bins get full, some farmers put their grain in shops or sheds normally used for storing farm machinery. Others put it in long giant plastic bags out in their fields. Others build makeshift plywood cylinders on some bare land (such as an already-harvested field). In short, farmers will do what they can to protect their harvests.
This could be the case, but we don't know, and it's also helpful to think about this from a charitable perspective.

NEVER finance through a dealership. They will never give you the best rates. Often they will get a rate and add their own points on top or include additional fees. Even promotional interest rates don't make sense because they're always offered with an alternative discount. The discount + a traditional loan works out cheaper than 0% interest.
Why react though? Just modern JavaScript (and typescript) is a great replacement for jQuery.

The react part is just for when you need to build something that needs architecture.
> where roughly 10 units of plant create one unit of meat

Those units are not remotely fungible.

Protein quality of plant protein (as measured by PER or other metrics not explicitly designed to favor soy) is horrendous compared to beef.

Much of the plant material fed to cows is also not even slightly edible to humans, like soy meal.

I would rather have 1lb beef than 10lb nominally edible soy extractives (or wheat, or grass, or inedible soy meal, or other inputs to cattle production).
#3 in murder, after St. Louis and Baltimore.

The thing about the cities in really bad shape is that all we get is the reported crime rate, which tends to be lower. Murder rates are a more accurate statistic since you can't ignore a body like a jacked car or a rape.
Actually, I’m worried about techies specifically. It’s (was) surprisingly easy to count RSUs as income collateral, especially since the last 5 years have shown such a consistent source of income. Now that many RSUs are in the gutter, combined with an ARM, I don’t get how some techies will make ends meet especially in places like the Bay Area. Anyone know the actual magnitude of this problem though?
They are very useful. Augmented situational awareness is clearly valuable in a high-risk relatively-low-tolerance environment like driving at highway speeds
Difficult to say without knowing the OP personally, but in my experience, all of this can square.

There’s complex dynamics at play that are a product of the genius developer mythology: someone produces a lot of code, the system becomes an extension of that person, everyone becomes dependent upon that person regardless of whether the person is good or bad, enjoyable to work with or not, because they’re the genius system-whisperer.

Earlier this year I spent some time at a company that has an incomprehensible system that is deeply problematic and painful to work on — so much so, they brought on dozens of developers to try and speed up the rate of delivery (I was one of them) — but the person who built it (and is most productive in it) has been elevated into a position where he now owns the entire technical implementation for the company, and is responsible for designing the solution to the nightmare he created, despite clearly demonstrating he has no business doing so: he’s simultaneously a linchpin and incompetent.

There’s probably some version of the Peter Principle that applies to software engineering: a software engineer’s output will rise to the level where it’s a burden.

Yeah, it's fragile and will easily lead to bugs when someone changes the markup without realizing it's going to break some crazy selector in another part of the code.

You are missing the fact that not all societies are open

Closed authoritarian societies, even those under sanction, have a ruling and privileged classes that DO have all the amenities — basically by extracting all the wealth to the small ruling classes. Even if it is only a microscopic percentage of the society that is at the top, it can still amount to substantial numbers.
Tangential: the readme mentions Pulumi [1], an Infratructure-as-Code tool I hadn't heard of before.

Sure, simply cutting out sugar but otherwise making poor dietary choices isn't going to lead to weight loss. Cutting out sugar tends to make it easier to eat healthy, though. Long term weight loss requires lifestyle changes.

In my personal anecdotal experience, my weight gain and loss correlates to my caloric intake. When I've explicitly calorie counted, foods with refined carbohydrates are typically what blows up my count. When I've done low carb high fat and protein diets, I've found it difficult to eat too much, to the point of coming up several hundred calories short per day.
> The economies of scale in industrial farming are insane. The ROI on a personal garden is abysmally low, except for herbs and other low-volume plants.

So I read this book called "How Asia Works" which documented the economic transformations of a few different Asian countries.

I was shocked to learn that in a lot of cases, the industrial farming not the huge boon that was expected efficiently a few people can grow things with intensely you can plant small plot farms.

Countries that promoted small-scale household farming instead of moving too soon to large scale farming were more successful, but this was largely because the labor pool can't transition that fast to going from farmers being everyone one in ten overnight.

We live at a time where very few people work in farming, the smallest amount in history. Why can't it slide back the other way?
> What can I do to change things?

Find a talented Junior developer which is able to think in your in presence (not stunted by your presence) and out spoken enough to disagree while you stand them character wise and take them under your wing. Mentor them as far as you think you can be effective mentoring them. Then let them grow on their own and after some break pick the next candidate.

Edit: Oh i see you are already doing that. Different suggestions: network with fellow professionals and contribute to a trade publication.
By that logic https://github.io is shady.

Also, a bad actor could just as well register https://rustup.dev. Rather than judging a URL in a vacuum based on the TLD, you should instead cross reference the official docs and confirm that the URL is correct.
If you're in the West, it doesn't hurt to buy a couple big bags of rice from the local Indian market, and have some dried or canned beans handy, and cycle through them as you cook. A pallet of bottled water and a bag of charcoal don't hurt either. A dumb power outage or a downed wire or a tornado or something is much more likely than Red Dawn, but you'll still be happy to have all that.
They'll use whatever words increase their revenue in the A/B tests unfortunately.
Puberty starts earlier than it used to *for girls*. Which surely points towards plastics and phytoestrogens in food as being the much more likely cause than improved nutrition or obesity which would affects both boys and girls equally.
It's still a pretty large country: around 26 million people. And it's not exactly a destitute state: it's a kleptocratic state with an educated (often abroad) elite class.

Brevity is cool, but that's kind of like naming all your variables one letter chars for brevity.

This is something every web dev will instantly know what it does:

document.querySelectorAll('#rabbit .green').forEach(tag => {

Whereas this is something nobody knows what the fuck it is because it's completely non-standard.

for (const rabbit of dqsA('#rabbits .green')) {

}

And get what, 10 characters less in one row? Basically nothing.

These are part of a propaganda strategy to make people feel like they're "helping".

Depends whether you're gardening for a global food shortage, or to supplement your own use, which I suspect is why most people have home gardens.

A home garden can supply a significant fraction of your food - especially if you do canning or otherwise preserve for winter use.

From the link in the parent post:

Fruit and vegetables harvested in these home and community plots was estimated to be 9,000,000–10,000,000 short tons (8,200,000–9,100,000 t) in 1944, an amount equal to all commercial production of fresh vegetables

It is often not possible or desirable to have laws that are so complete and exhaustive that they require 0 interpretation. Laws, like most thing, are designed to try to balance flexibility and clarity where necessary. Otherwise, they are mostly worthless, or become worthless very quickly.
(and no, you can't just make them super explicit and constantly update them, it's completely intractable)

As a result, pieces of government offering guidance/manuals for their enforcement is very common.

This is true both criminally and civilly.

For example, the USPTO maintains the "manual of patent examining procedure" that somewhat exhaustively interprets patent law.

> It’s surprisingly easy to count RSUs as income

This is irresponsible in my opinion. (I'm sure some disagree.) Personally, I took the conservative approach where during my home purchase we made sure our income could afford a mortgage. Our RSU's are a bonus and when they come we can pay down our mortgage faster, go on fun vacations, or do all sorts of other things.

Currently, I'm on pace to pay off my 30-year mortgage in 8-10 years by putting half of my RSU's towards my mortgage on top of the monthly payments.
