Thanks :) I've been doing fast and frequent group rides for years. Haven't had accidents in a group yet, knock on wood. FWIW, I get more easily distracted when I'm alone. People riding 5in from me doing 25+mph keep me quite alert.

What I think is good if you get a lot of experience on the bike before you start doing group rides. That's what I did. Some people get fitness quickly after starting the sport and when they join the group rides, it gets dangerous - no bike handling skills, but the speed is high.
Americans Misunderstand Each Other
It is named unfortunately because there are people who are absolutely literal about wanting what the name clearly says, and then maybe people who maybe aren't 100% on board with it but are okay with using piggy-backing off it to achieve their goals and aren't going to get in the way of it as long as their own goals are also achieved. To pretend otherwise is naive at best.

I’ve written quite a lot of rust GRPC web services. The reason being that we wrote a lot of propriety derivatives library code in Rust that we needed to Interface with. We could have wrapped this in python, but to be honest, it just wouldn’t have been worth the effort.

I ended up writing something that faced external clients in rust, that had to do traditional web app things, and it was okay. The pros were that you could write idiomatic interfaces to things like auth that wouldn’t look out of place in a Django app. The cons however, was that writing these Interfaces took some non trivial rust knowledge, especially since we did a lot of async rust.

India itself condemns casteism by, among other things, granting 60% job reservations ("affirmative action") to its 'lower' castes.

I don’t know about chefs but my mom always complains about how hard it is to cook with induction heating because it takes very long to switch between high and low temperatures. You can’t be as reactive with induction cooking (alternatively moving the pan off the direct heat and moving it back again might achieve this)
I mean that for a skilled rider, the breaking distance doing 40mph on a bike is shorter than 60mph on a car. Also the distance travelled during reaction time is longer doing 60mph, so a given distance to a dangerous object allows for way less distraction time in a car.

People get more distracted in a car, because the environment is so calm inside. The rushing wind, constant vibrations and the physicality of riding a bicycle fast keeps you way more alert and doesn't dull your background sense of danger like a car does.

Hitting a pothole you didn't notice in a bike is quite startling - "oh, I better pay more attention, that wasn't nice". In a car you're like "meh, that didn't sound very nice for the suspension, back to my SMS on the phone".
I wouldn't look for COBOL gigs in SV. I would look in places where keeping up with the technological Joneses isn't part of the culture.

I live in New Jersey. NJ and NY has a considerable amount of COBOL deployed, in banking, insurance, payroll, etc., and especially by government organizations.

Compensation is still on the lower end, like $90k-120k/year, vs. $160k-200k for more modern tech jobs, but the competition for those jobs is almost certainly to be lower/less competitive, you're less likely to be laid off if you're even remotely competent and don't do something stupid like break the law.

To OP's original point, if you're looking for a non-management role and want to maximize your earning potential while simultaneously minimizing your employment churn risk, being a competent COBOL programmer earning $90-120k/year comfortably definitely fits the bill.

Of course, if OP's statement that they are "sick [...] of doing the same CRUD apps over and over again" then COBOL may not be a good fit: you certainly aren't going to be doing much in the way of innovating when supporting a legacy COBOL application, but you should be able to carve out a very consistent work schedule, find some decent work-life balance, and enjoy perpetual employment as long as you desire it.
This is often laughed at, but I think this is fine. Whatever helps debugging efficiently.

And debuggers have their uses too.

Printing is my usual way of debugging. I use / switch between various languages that have unequal support for interactive debuggers with different interfaces, in various contexts where debuggers are not always usable. Printing / logging always works the same regardless of the language and the context.

Step by step often looses me, and print forces to think about what and where to print so it also has its advantages.

Interactive debugging has a big advantage: no need to recompile / reload each time you need to check out the value of a variable at a new location in the code.

But yes, the fact I switch between languages and contexts seems to encourage me to use generic tools that work okay for every language and context instead of specialized tools, so Kate and printing it is. But you can become efficient anyway, and for a task where printing is not enough, you can always spin up the heavy tools.
Often they're even right to do so!
Nice. Kinda along the lines of what made the current generation of dating apps (starting with Tinder) so popular. Take a large group of 1st and 2nd degree friends. People anonymously select who all they'd like to get with. If there's a match, both parties are notified. If not, no one gets to know. It's such a simple concept, and it's odd that someone like Facebook wasn't able to capitalize on it first despite providing all the infrastructure (the social graph) to make a service like this possible in the first place.

I’m not sure what you mean. Uber could immediately offer flexible employment in almost all jurisdictions within which they operate, the reason they don’t is because it’s substantially more expensive to have employees than it is to have contractors. There’s no legal reasons why Uber don’t have drivers as employees (with flexible schedules): they don’t because it would be too expensive, benefits are expensive, guaranteed earnings are expensive.

There are plenty of drivers willing to drive under the current arrangement because they don’t have a choice: if you offered them the same flexibility but with the benefits of employment, they would of course take it.

My freshman year of HS, I bought a DTMF dialer from Radio Shack. This was a small handheld device with a shallow coupler on the back, and buttons matching those on a DTMF telephone, and pressing them produced the same tones as a telephone. The dialer had a memory function.

One day I noticed the tones produced by putting a quarter in a pay phone to tell the backend switch a quarter had been inserted. It was, like, beep beep beep beep beep, really fast. Dimes and nickels made the same tones, but they were shorter, less beeps.

Something sounded familiar about these tones, and through trial and error, I realized these tones were made from the DTMF tones of either the asterisk key or the octothorpe key (I can't now remember which, and btw, it is not a hash symbol, it is an octothorpe). By putting enough presses of the right key into the memory of the Radio Shack dialer, I could fool payphones into thinking I had deposited quarters. I had turned my off the shelf Radio Shack DTMF dialer into a Red Box, without actually doing anything to the hardware or electronics. And it was a lot more svelte than the original Woz Red Boxes, about the size of a flip phone when closed.

At first, this worked at every payphone, always, any kind of call, local or long distance. I spent a lot of time at the airport and hotel pay phone banks calling a gf long distance. But eventually, my DTMF dialer stopped fooling the switch, so I could no longer make free local calls. But with long distance calls, I'd usually get an operator once the spoofed coin inserts failed, but they would always still fool the operator, who I think assumed line interference prevented (what I assume were) the new digital switches from recognizing coin insert tones. Then that stopped working; somehow the operators knew what I was doing and would accurately describe my spoof to me.

So it no longer worked with ordinary common pay phones. But I found a pay phone installation that was not ordinary, I believe it was called a "Smart Payphone," but it was not smart in the way we think of smart phones today; it just had some extra electronics and a small 3 line LCD panel which told you how long your call lasted. I could continue to make local and long distance calls from only these types of pay phones for a few more years until every place I knew there had been one had been uninstalled.

It only occurred to me later that I was not stealing from AT&T or some local Bell affiliate. I had been stealing from whomever owned the pay phone, who still had to pay for those long distance calls I made. I have carried the guilt and shame of my juvenile crimes ever since. Not kidding. That was all very, very wrong.

We use Parcel under the hood and are huge fans! Our framework has opinionated abstractions on top of it that we think help improve the extension development experience considerably.

Features we've built so far:

- manifest.json is generated automatically. If you want to create a content script, you name a file content.ts, and it'll auto-gen the right manifest key-value pair for it. Same with backround.ts. [1]

- Mounting a React component to the popup or options page is similar. You create a popup.tsx or options.tsx file, export a default React component, and it'll automatically associate it in the manifest and mount the component automatically for you.

- We support environment variables with .env files [2]

- We just released support to automatically inject a shadow DOM into a webpage and mount a React component from a content script [3]

- We have remote code bundling that automatically fetches URL based imports (like Google Analytics) in build time to mitigate issues with MV3 not allowing remote code [4]

Not really.

For me, the number-one Rust feature I love is that, by baking monadic optionality and error return in from the beginning (Option<T> and Result<T, E>), I can trust that, unless an author abuses panic! (in which case I never trust their code again), I can see all a function's return paths in its type signature. (Without having to choke down a pure functional language like Haskell with that currying-based function call syntax that I can never get used to.)

The runners-up are how fast Rust starts compared to Python or Java or similar when writing a CLI tool and how nice PyO3 makes safely writing libraries or backends for tools that need to be in Python for some reason like "nothing but PyQt, PySide and possibly QtJambi offers memory-safe QWidget bindings... and I've never found a Java app that didn't feel laggy and sluggish on X11".

I've coded more than one mini-big int libraries for some high school CS comps back in the day. Also fun times. Simple arithmetic is easy and we never got really complicated operations for big ints.

These days I'm super lazy and just Python the big int problems on things like Advent of Code. Much more boring. And because of floating point issues, I haven't seen them give something in the real domain, as compared to whole numbers.
>Taken into context, this means that if I only have one choice for electricity provider, and my investor owned utility makes a decision to burn coal to generate electricity, there’s very little I can do to change that

Many jurisdictions in the US allow people to sign up for alternative energy providers. Electricity is fungible, so technically you might be using electrons from a coal power plant, but on a kWh basis you are supposed to be getting all your electricity from renewable sources. That's basically how so many companies can say they're running on "100% renewable power", without having to build wind turbines/solar panels around their facilities.

>If the area I live in has only single family zoning, things are so spread out that it means that most people need a car for basic human needs like going to work and getting groceries.

1. You can vote with your feet.

2. of all the issues to bring up, this seems like the weakest one. NIMBY zoning laws are probably the most grass-roots type of lobbying there is. It's hard to blame corporations for that.

>You can throw all the personal responsibility that you want at that and not make any meaningful changes.

The comment you replied to doesn't mention "personal responsibility" at all. It only mentions "people" and "customers", ie. groups of people. If 80% of consumers don't want their electricity bills to rise and like white picket suburban houses, that's ultimately a problem with "people" and "customers", even if the remaining 20% are trying to be green but can't be.
You have be a consultant with 20 years prior experience with mainframe systems when they were the big thing to make any decent money, otherwise plenty of highly consecutive non tech firms are happy to place someone in a role for $50-$60k.

The evolution of a word while it remains still is interesting here: Brian's 1979 "still" is a whole world away from Paul's founder's.

Still, it remains easier to print a value than to reach for gdb. But once you have gdb going, it is easier to do in depth fine surgery with gdb than littering your code with printfs.

Now it seems the two worlds are entangled and I'm confused.

Interestingly, I take significant steps to reduce my emissions footprint, but the one thing I won't give up is cooking with a gas stove. It's simply better /as a cook/ than other options. I've used high-end induction, I've used radiant electric, I've used different pan types. Gas is simply the best all-rounder, and has some unique properties that can't be replicated any other way. I take my home cooking very very seriously, and consider it a requirement to have a dual-fuel range.
Try configuring your bundler so it outputs source maps, and disable js transformations aimed at compatibility with old browsers. Like whatever they do with for..of loops and async/await that makes the code unintelligible. For this, put whatever is needed in the configuration of the bundler to target the latest version of Chrome or Firefox (for instance [1] for babel / webpack).

It's worth it really.

And maybe in the future bundlers will not be needed anymore. On recent browsers with HTTP2 and gzip compression, I question the need of bundling at all, especially if the dependency tree is limited (yes, that's a HUGE if). With HTTP2 multiplexing / connections kept alive, Good old <script> tags might work quite well now (with type="module").

Everything you have written is wrong.

Gas is very efficient. If you have the choice of burning gas at a power station (which is how a lot of electricity is generated now a days) and piping it directly into people's homes for the end goal of generating heat, piping wins every time. The inefficiencies of converting gas to electricity and transporting that electricity are significant and well known.

Additionally, I don't know how anyone who has cooked on gas and electric can claim electric is superior. I will grant that a very good electric (ie, induction) _might_ be superior to a very bad gas, but I have used a lot of examples of each and I would choose gas every time (and to demonstrate I am not ideological about this, I always prefer electric ovens over gas).

Heat pumps are also a vastly overrated technology which only work for very well insulated houses with an HVAC system which keeps the rooms ventilated artificially.

I am big on electrification - I'm a Tesla shareholder - but the carbon benefits of electric heating over gas are minute. The Green agenda should avoid battles where the perceived detriment to people's quality of life vastly exceeds the provable environmental benefit.
