This statement is either so broad that it is obviously false, or has so many implied additional conditions that its application is incredibly narrow.

* The time horizon used to judge incentives vary person to person.

* Willing martyrs exist for various causes. Therefore, it is not just the incentives that matter, but the belief about those incentives.

* Self-sacrifice for others exists (e.g. a mother rushing into a burning building for the chance of saving her children). Therefore, it is not just the incentives that matter, but also the subjective weighting of conflicting incentives.

* A person may spend a great deal of time researching betting patterns for playing craps, none of which can overcome the house's advantage. Therefore, it is not just the incentives that matter, but the knowledge of the outcomes.

* Somebody may work in an oppressive environment for their entire life, rather than changing careers. Therefore, it is not just the effort required that matters, but also the relative amount of effort on different time horizons.

While I agree that incentives are the best way to move population-level behavior, and is usually a good starting point for understanding individual behavior, your categorical statement doesn't have those caveats.

Your domain ideas are pretty good. You could sell your creativity as a service. 50 bucks for 3-5 name options for someone's side project, if you're that good at coming up with them you'd save everyone some time.

Its like painting the Sydney harbour bridge, you start at one end and work your way to the other.

By the time you get to the other side you have to go back and start again.
I think it's not that serious really. Using the wrong format string already has undefined behaviour so you should always hard code it as part of the logic of your program, even if %n didn't exist.

I got pretty good at drawing, then watercolor, and now oil portraits by starting with the lessons on figure drawing by Stan Prokopenko on YouTube. He's a former instructor at Watt's Atelier (and is an excellent painter), but he is very down to earth and funny. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtG4P3lq8RHGuMuprDarMz_Y9...

He's got affordable courses you can buy as well. The figure drawing course is excellent and a great place to start. He does a great job of teaching foundations so you'll be able to branch from just drawing into draftsmanship, painting, or digital art if you want.

For other resources see also: https://noahbradley.com/dont-go-to-art-school/

The recommendation to go to weekly figure drawing is excellent. I've been doing that now for years and it's changed the game for me. Highly recommend doing the same if you can. It really helps the mind to see things in 3D then draw them, vs drawing from reference photos (which I do too, but it's not the same).

I agree that the user experience, onboarding etc. are very well executed for Arduino (and especially for the ESP32 port of uPython could use some polishing)...

> rinse and repeat until you are familiar with idioms for all sorts of things

Except that the idioms you learn are really not suitable for anything but toy examples. Arduino is rotten from the core: "setup", "loop" and "delay" are the worst imaginable way to write embedded software, yet everyone coming from Arduino thinks this is how well written embedded software should look.
I feel like these articles always do a disservice by misrepresenting things about Linux. Just some parts I stumbled over:

> [about jails] They are also very easy to debug and troubleshoot comparing even to plain Docker – not to even mention Kubernetes which requires whole team of highly skilled people to maintain.

Yeah, of course, a single-node container tool is easier to run than a Kubernetes cluster.

systemd starts services in dependency order. The author makes it sound like systemd just randomly shuffles the services each boot for fun.
The whole history of sciences builds a case for interoperability, not against. See also the railway sizes problem (eg. in Australia), the electric/lighting socket standardization, doorlocks...

Were it not for standards and regulations you would have to buy different locks, lightbulbs, and charger adapters depending on the company which built your apartment. It's already annoying enough that these specifications change from one country to another, but it would be a complete nightmare if there were no interoperability regulations at all.

Also, more specifically about computing: the Internet being an open standard brought many advantages for innovation, compared to centralized networks such as MSN or AOL. As for hardware, i don't know about you but i'm pretty happy i can change my CPU/RAM/HDD with any socket-compatible product and i'm not tied to a single vendor... in fact i'm pretty angry when i find a machine where some parts are non-standard and cannot be easily replaced.

To be clear, i'm not saying there's no value in deviating from the standards for innovation. I'm just saying 99% of usecases are better addressed with standard solutions than with halfbaked proprietary "solutions".
My goodness, I advice you to read the implementation details of this and be humbled about your own aptitude for programming.

That's also fine if you specify your distro name and use your distro specific bug tracker to report your issues, unless you're pulling in the official distribution of upstream software through something like Flatpak that bypasses your system.

Even then I've found that many Flatpaks are broken on Ubuntu that work fine on Manjaro. Weird distro configurations really are a terrible burden on developers, this stuff makes me never want to publish software that gets absorbed into distros.

Mozilla was right to force Debian to rename their modified version of their browser. More packages should use such policies in my opinion, especially if they're complex to set up right like this piece of software.
I enjoy the same sense of accomplishment as I did running a BBS or installing Linux (and getting the modem driver to work) back in the day.
I've had a blog on and off for many years (link in my bio)

For many years, I shut it down-- changed it from Wordpress to static html and hosted on netlify. Ignored it completely for 3+ years.

Then last year, I restarted it-- moved to Ghost this time-- its a better (simpler?) version of Wordpress. Tried a dozen static generators, hated all of them, as beyond the simple "write 5 blogs and publish" they become hard to use. I like Ghost's front end, like that they take care of hosting. I've had a few articles blow up on HN/Reddit, Ghost managed the spike.

The strange thing is you can never tell which article of yours will blow up. One of mine flopped on HN, 0 upvotes. Then someone else submitted it again, this time it was front page for several hours, got 60-70k visitors in a day. also blew up on Reddit/Linkedin, had random poeple trying to friend me.

Other articles I thought would be useful and in line with what people were discussing here-- vanished without a trace. Or they got 5-10 upvotes, and then vanished (with 0 comments).

I keep the blog now because I see people still find old articles I wrote useful. There is a small expense, but tis worth it, as when I have something to say, I dont have to worry about seeing where I will share it. If nothing else, the few poeple subscribed will see it.

I no longer write to a schdule (which is what marketers advise-- write every week! promote!), as that made me hate it. Now I write what I love. Still try some promotion by sharing here /Reddit, but thats about it. Quit Twitter/FB years ago, so never go there.

So yes, I would recommend people have a blog, even if you publish once every few months. ITs nice to have a platform you control.
I used Circuit python in a Raspberry PI Pico.

It's ok for prototyping, I would not use it on production. Still recommend using C++, and Platformio for most things.

But it helped me with quick hacks and proofs of concept.

For example, my company build a laser warning system that would be triggered when someone cut through the laser.
I build a quick remote control to trigger the system without having to get on a ladder and put the hand in front of the laser to diagnose problems.

Tech Layoffs in 2022: The U.S. Companies That Have Cut Jobs
Really? I don't think there's a single major European city that I'd leave a bike ( or scooter, if I had one) unsupervised.
I am 60 years old and as a person always learning I have accumulated a huge stack of knowledge and I think my mind is in a very good shape so I still can learn new things quickly.
Long time ago I found a good balance between life and work, and a good paid job by european standards. The only problem is that sometimes I envy the 200K $ paid jobs, but there are two main walls to pursue that salary:
First: I have no work experience in the IT sector.
Second: I have never used AWS and other cloud services.I am risk adverse and receiving a huge bill for cloud services while learning AWS is something that I have avoided.

I can solve leetcode and hackerrank problems more or less easily, have a CS and math degree, a Ph.D. in Math, can program in a long list of computer languages, know a lot of stats, machine learning, algorithm, complexity, etc.

But at 60, if you have learned to focus in what is important, you will be able to provide an answer to many unknowns and that is a precious skill. So to summarize, at 60 I am in my best moment but you always want more (now is more money).
Real interest rates are still negative. A mere half-point rate hike doesn't "fix" that. Two rate hikes are likewise insufficient. The Fed's target is at 0.75-1.00% and inflation's still over 8%.
How to organize my mind for deciding a career path?
I'm 28 and have jumped over various fields in the past 7-8 years. I have a bachelor degree in mining engineering with a final project that used image processing. Later I have started learning html, css, and js to become a frontend developer. Later I have studied and worked in FOREX for almost a year and once again it bored me. So, I started a new job that eventually led to managing a development team, alongside I started learning about SEO to handle that part myself. After quitting that company, I have continued learning about data science, ML, and DL. It adored me and I have gained some experience in that field. However, after years of changing fields, I have decided to start frontend development once more. Am I crazy or what?
Viruses and bacteria would not really be my worries. Unlikely they are compatible with our physiology. Maybe bacteria in sense of flesh eating or producing toxins as by-product, but nothing as infection I think.

Yeah, Papa John's is bragging about this first ever BTC tx to buy pizzas from them when in fact some guy from overseas in GB (Laszlo was living in Florida) took up the offer from the online forum [0] and paid for the pizza via credit card, so Papa John's obviously couldn't care less.

>A British man took up Hanyecz's offer and bought the two pizzas for him in exchange for the 10,000 Bitcoins. Even then the recipient of the Bitcoins got himself a bargain, paying $25 for the pizzas, while 10,000 Bitcoins were worth around $41 at the time. [1]

My guess is - since in those early days all enthusiasts were basically "hardcore computer nerds" - the significance of buying a pizza via BTC was at least partially implied through the common knowledge of Pizza Hut's "experiment" in 1994.

I do not get how people can be totally chill with cars and blow a gasket over scooters. In my experience (mostly in Santa Monica, but also plenty of European cities) you will pass block after block of scooters parked correctly. Perhaps in a week you see one in a bad spot but hardly impassible nor a big deal but oh man people flip out over this. In my experience it's been 100% people who's central frame of reference and primary means of locomotion is driving their car around in the city who then start looking for reasons they dislike them. The arguments they come up with sound ridiculous compared to the damage they do with their cars.
The single sentence about "polymer-metal composites" and "metal" raises more questions than it answers. To me, anyway.

Why apply that standard to scooters and not to cars? Parked cars are strewn all across the road, taking up much more space. Some sit in the same place for weeks.

The road outside my house is about 3x car widths across, there are private cars parked on either side (2/3rds of the total road space) for the full length of the road. Only one car can fit down the road at once, and pedestrians have limited pavement.

Why get so upset about a few scooters on the pavement, when there are cars literally everywhere in the way
Who was actually able to borrow at negative nominal rates? As far as I can see even the US government only briefly hit negative nominal rates.

I can see an argument for taking advantage of near zero real rates to hedge inflation: borrow 1000, buy assets, sell assets for 1080, repay 1001.
I think our paperwork shows the registration info of the person who registred it. Like in UK this is not ownership by itself. The paperwork also has a section for any liens on the property. This can be the creditor from the beginning or a private person or a government entity can have a claim due to debts. Nowadays these are all in the system of course. The paper card does not mean anything. Everything is looked up on the spot.
I've noticed that many startup-like companies are on the margins, living from month to month. Hiring is for inflating value and showing numbers to VCs. If the company is susceptible to even small inflation moves or cannot sustain 6-7 months without income, I'd reconsider its business model. Sadly, a considerable number of companies out there belong to this circle.

Good way to make medical tech even less feasible and affordable.
“Incidence rates for deaths directly attributable to medical care gone awry haven’t been recognized in any standardized method for collecting national statistics,”

That's because they're hard to standardize. What qualifies as a medical error? It's easy to go back after the fact and analyze a case where someone has a poor outcome and say 'we should have done this another way'. That doesn't mean there was any indication at the time that the other way would have been better or that the poor outcome could have been foreseen.

I do believe there are a lot of medical mistakes made. I'm a little skeptical that there are legitimately 250k that result in unnecessary death each year. I assume many of those 250k were being treated for serious illnesses that may have taken their lives anyways (not all medical interventions are 100% effective). It would be nice to have a standardized definition, but I'm not sure how that's possible unless we are only talking about treatment received was different than treatment ordered.

"A 10 month long class that doesn't start for 4 months and costs over $2,400 is full... that kind of blows my mind."

Yeah, they've kind of become trendy in recent years.

If you are motivated, while you wait for a class to open up you can definitely use some of the stuff they teach you on your own, like drawing from Bargue plates and casts. Draw from life as much as you can, too. Every little bit of drawing helps. You just have to keep at it.

There are also online artist communities where you can get feedback on your art. Again, a talented teacher is best, but peer critique can be helpful too... and being part of an online community works for a lot of people who can't find/attend an in-person class. So I'd see if I could find some of those. I don't have specific recommendations, unfortunately, but I know they're out there. Searching on youtube or social media sites might yield some results.

I've had luck in finding life drawing groups (where you draw from a live model) through meetup.com. They were pretty cheap. They offered no instruction, but at least you were drawing from life and were among other artists.

Good luck on your journey.
