I don’t think that is necessarily true. There is a huge difference between calling a cow a cow, trying to make the cow sound like a golden calf, and trying to call a pig a cow.

Trump did a lot of the latter, corporate entities do a lot of the second, and it would often be nice if they did more of the first.
Seems bit unfair to say that the ComputerSpieleMuseum is different to the computer history institutions in the UK because it focuses on games, when the National Videogame Museum opened in 2015.
Yes, that resonates with me strongly. Makes a ton of sense.

Your restatement is accurate, in my view. Easy, predictable money seems to be higher value money, or maybe they feel they can do the same thing a ton of others did and that is load up the station with even more future value paid out today as debt, coupled with an even more aggressive and lean cost model.

Probably will happen.

"The Talent" has two bodies of people: One, you identified as the visionaries. Yes. Agreed. In my comment above, I was also talking about the people behind the mic. That talent is the mind people find compelling, entertaining and informative. They gutted those people, while the ones you talk about just left seeing the mess to come!

Whoever is there now I would bet, expecting low odds, on them believing some AI / Machine learning thing can push out the last of the people, leaving the whole thing as some sort of passive medium others can push content through.
"drugged". You make it sound like kids are slipped roofies

It doesn't make children complacent. It made me stop kicking the shit out of my classmates every day. School is very important. I was depriving myself and others of an education and those other kids shouldn't have to put up with nuisances like me.

My parents were given a choice: put me in special ed classes or medication. They didn't want me to be treated differently so they chose medication. I think it was a good call.

Why my comments removed?
Also: you're learning the same thing you already learned several times before, except slightly different this time. Things are no longer as exciting as when you learned it the first time, and especially if $new_thing isn't a fundamental improvement over $old_thing, or even worse (in your view, whether that view is correct is another matter) it just becomes a slog.

I found that excitement/motivation is pretty important in actually learning new things. I'm close to 40 now and don't find it's harder to pick up new things when I'm motivated. If anything, I find it easier as I have a broader background knowledge and spend my time more effectively – I didn't believe my teachers when they told me that taking notes helps you remember stuff but they were right and I was a stubborn idiot. All of that offsets the undoubtedly decreased ability of my brain compared to when I was 21. It's just that I've done a lot of things before and find it hard to motivate myself for "$new_thing that's fundamentally just like $old_thing building $new_app that's not really any different from $old_app".
Factory Reset does not mean to reset the phone back to the original version it came with. Factory Reset is basically erase everything and load the protected partition to "reinstall" the OS (if you upgrade your OS several times, it will use the current OS version.)

Factory Reset term been around for so long and everyone already know the term meaning. Even I remember that term 25 years ago. Apple chose to change the language and this cause confusion. "Factory Reset" and "Erase all content and settings" didn't implies the same meaning. Apple should add a subtitle or a tooltip to indicate that it is factory reset or additional context for us to understand what it does. So why change the term if it isn't broken?

It's not just Ryanair, the government is basically milking entire sectors based on the good old socialism constructs that big companies are evil since they are making "extra" profits and people are eating this up not realizing that this will contribute even more to inflation and the ever weakening Forint. Truly concerning.

How to Become a Contributor to an Open Source Project
PGA mission statement: "The mission of The PGA of America is to promote enjoyment and involvement in golf among the general public, as well as to contribute to the sport’s growth by providing services to golf Professionals and the industry. The PGA seeks to accomplish this mission by enhancing the skills of PGA Professionals and expanding playing opportunities for the general public, employers and manufacturers. Through these efforts, The PGA elevates the standards of The PGA Professional’s vocation, enhances the economic well-being of the individual PGA member, stimulates interest in the game of golf and promotes the overall vitality of the game."

Doesn't sound like it's their mission would be harmed by competing tournaments. After all, the majors aren't operated by the PGA and they co-exist just fine.

>This is not an ‘excess profits’ tax, it is just highway robbery by a Govt. that is completely out of touch with reality

Flying, for almost _any_ reason is, in this day and age, completely out of touch with reality.
I think this article hits on some truths and gets a handful of things wrong. First, they are correct that we are in a dynamic profession that requires constant learning and expanding. No doubt the people who choose to stay in software are likely to be people who are curious, life-long learners where this is a benefit of the profession rather than a drawback. That said, one thing I noticed from teaching computer science while a graduate student is that the poor students think about languages and libraries as key skills, while the better students think about the data structures, algorithms, and design principles. These slightly more meta-level concepts are far more stable and timeless, while the underlying implementations of them are constantly evolving. If you think of each new library as "having to learn a new skill" I can imagine burnout and overload are more likely, but if you figure once you know 3D graphics you can pretty easily pickup any new graphics engine, then it might even seem fun to explore different takes on the same old concepts. It's like hearing a new band in your favorite genre.

As for attributing burnout as the core issue here, I would strongly disagree with this idea. When teaching undergrads I noticed immediately that a good portion of each student cohort was basically there because they were interested in making money in the future rather than exploring the ideas of computer science. They were no doubt going to get frustrated or bored and move into management or some other profession rather than continue to expand as an engineer. This is totally fine, and they are probably richer for having learned what they did, but I don't know why we can't just see this and appreciate it for what it is rather than portraying it as the drama of burnout.
In the U.S. at least, golf courses aren't really taking away land that could be used for wild habitat. There's massive amounts of wilderness to use.

It's like complaining about trophy hunting through state programs in Africa because of endangered species. It sounds good and gives warm fuzzies to stand in support of helping animals, but the facts are that it ranges from counter productive to outright harmful to the cause of helping endangered species to oppose those trophy hunting programs.

For golf courses, I doubt re-wilding is a good use of that space. It's often limited and surrounded my urban areas. Even where it's not, you're still probably better off taking large unused reacts of land and making them parks than you are repurposing a golf course.
Mostly state level here in the US. The feds just don't allow any type of gambling across state lines but otherwise leave it up to the states to regulate. Its actually a huge pain in the ass to deal with since there has been very little standardization of state regulations so far.

Is this a criticism? Not every article has to be written for the lowest common denominator. The fracturing of professional golf's monopoly and the emergence of a rival tour has been a pretty major sports story for the past few weeks, certainly on ESPN's tv networks and ESPN.com

Instead, they're slinging boxes in fulfillment centers?

I'm sorry, I just don't believe you. There are clearly racists and fascists working for Amazon, due to the sheer size of it, but to suggest that Amazon would protect them is ridiculous.
yes, that.

The extreme case (that I had and is the one where I was finally convinced that uuid's save me from myself) was setting admin permissions on a user. I accidentally copy/pasted their account_id instead of their user_id. If I had been using integers I would have given admin permissions to a random user and never been aware of it. But because I was using uuid's I got a nice, safe "updated 0 records" response and knew there was a problem.

But that's the thing, right? Those deterministic processes _are_ me. There is nothing more to me. So I think I'm deciding things because... I am. I am the only thing in control, because the only thing I am is a set of deterministic processes. If my deterministic circuits are making choices, _I_ am making choices.
The N1, in our real world, was never crewed. The last ditch Soviet launch you're talking about was a test.

For All Mankind to have a successful Soviet Moon landing, things happened differently before that launch. I thought the show would be interested in exploring what those things are, but it never was the case. As for OP, presumably they're talking about Vladimir Komarov:

His death during Soyuz 1, the first space casualty, could perhaps be a hinge between our universe and For All Mankind.

I don't believe this is how it is actually implemented in _most_ companies. Where I work every PR must have a linked story / bug / etc but anyone has the rights to create a story so it acts more as a way to track what changes actually goes into a release for x-teams to review and see if they need to document it, etc.

In regard to refactors, people tend to just squash them into another change they are making. This makes the git log a bit harder to follow at times, but people did this back when we just used to push to trunk too so I don't think the story is the deciding factor.

I am going to keep my comments to a minimum because I think this is becoming an unproductive exchange.

> But that's contradicting the original point

You have said there's a contradiction, but have not said what it is. I have no idea what you think it is.

> Scotland consistently votes to the left. And there is no way we can get a left-wing government, because England votes to the right.

It is obviously possible for the UK to elect a left-wing government. I don't know why you think otherwise.

> This isn't a randomly selected bloc

My point is that there is no reason to expect a bloc of 59 constituencies to consistently decide the outcome of general elections. That is not in and of itself necessarily a problem. You need further, independent arguments to show why it is a problem for Scotland.
I've been using Macs for nearly 30 years, and over the past few years, I've been switching to Linux, at leasat for personal stuff. At work, I sill try to avoid Windows (and the crappy work-issued Dell hardware). There's definitely a feeling that new Mac development from Apple is more a thing to dread than to look forward to.
The first few generations of DS were fully backwards compatible with the GBA though so the transition wasn't that bad. The Gameboy in general had an amazing run of backwards compatibility through its lifetime. The GBA could play original Gameboy games going back all the way to 1989.

The one annoyance of the GBA at its release and original lifetime was the screen. It wasn't backlit and was very difficult to see without perfect bright lighting in your room. They eventually fixed this with the backlit GBA SP some years later, but gaming on the original GBA was rough. It's easy to forget just how bad things were without backlit screens, we've been spoiled by decades of amazing smartphone screens in the years since.

I love the idea of old, established, non-innovative groups falling apart when disrupted. I don't love that the disruption is coming from another similarly old, even more established group.

The problem a lot of start ups face is overcoming the barrier to entry, either in terms of dollars or who you know. It's disheartening that the lesson here might just be that, even with all the problems with a group like the PGA, you need to have the backing of an entire kingdom to disrupt a space.
Extra shoutouts to the folks at Sentry who also flipped rust-minidump on as their default backend and had to deal with way more exotic issues than I did (and fixed them!) because although Firefox sees some horrendous stuff and gets a bajillion crash reports, it's still one application with one basically stable minidump writing configuration.

They have to deal with basically random apps doing whatever they want and it sounds like hell.

Well, that's all dandy. But when someone actually shares something it's "cry me a river". Their contribution is summarily dismissed because it's not the Right Evidence from the Right People.
Sure I understand regarding the protections. But regarding the nature of the investments by themselves in don't find the difference meaningful enough to earn the label "truly degenerate trading strategies with investor funds." compared with what we currently see in non-crypto Finance, which is equally degenerate for me in that case.
I get why bureaucracy is a total pain, getting work approved by stakeholders constantly ...

But the actual ticketing/PR system? Change requires control.

The actual issue is not _using_ that control tool to get the right things done. If basic technical debt issues are not an easy sell in your org, that's the real problem and one that should be handled by senior/dev manager.

A big red flag for me is any org that doesn't recognise and service technical debt and empower engineers to make a win.

I also wouldn't say tech debt pay-off should be without its justification in some cases. If an engineer can't measure the positive impact of doing something, it can make it a hard sell. Why should an engineer spend 2 weeks doing something if we can't describe the payoff?

I mean... The joke about socialism was that all special taxes (ie: carbon tax) were just a thinly veiled excuse to scrape the cream off the top.

The whole concept of an "excess profits tax" does away with the thin veil and literally says, "you earned too much money, we're taking some of it".

> If you remove people from the grind for 1-2 days a week

The modern office seems hellbent on killing every last bit of slack in their workers, then wondering why they leave or get burned out.

I realized the other day that a big part of my drive to move towards self-employment is really just a way to carve out time to take adequate care of myself. I have significant doubts that it is possible to continue to advance in tech to staff+ levels, be a good spouse, parent, and friend, and not run myself into the ground with physical/mental issues. And that is sad on multiple levels.

So I respond by easing up on advancing my career, because it gives back to me the least.
If you think what I just said implies what you just said, then you are the type of person I would not want to work with.
You'd think by now we would have some way to test the concentration of various things (serotonin, norepinephrine, etc.) in the body BEFORE issuing medications that might modify them, and then measure such concentrations afterwards to get a better idea of what to use, rather than the current "try different things and rely solely on the subjective description provided by the (likely untrained and inarticulate) test subject."

Or maybe we do and I've never been privy to this knowledge nor provided such a test.
Ponzi finance in Albania in the late 90's shows that you don't need TV or social media or smartphones for pyramid schemes to take over an entire society.

What you need is widespread magical thinking combined with greed, corruption and an economic shock.

"Albania became one of the most enthusiastic implementers of shock therapy, a set of policies that included the liberalization of markets, strict monetary policy, and privatization of public services and infrastructure."

"Factory closures and unemployment soon followed. Inflation and currency devaluations wiped out savings and welfare entitlements."

"Politically connected businessmen appropriated the profitable parts of state assets in an upward redistribution of wealth of world-historic proportions. Food subsidies were slashed; hunger rose."

Citizens regarded capitalism "with childlike naivete—and grown-up greed"

Albania "became a playground for Moonies, Mormons, and Jehovah’s Witnesses."

In Albania a vicious civil war followed the collapse of the pyramids.

Many parallels to the United States in 2022 (and this is far bigger than just crypto).

Why didn’t cars have safety belts in the first place?
It absolutely is not only for criminals.

A simple example: you go to a store and buy something with BTC. All good so far.

But the store owner can see on the public blockchain that the wallet you paid with contains a lot of Bitcoin, and that you were in fact a crypto multi-millionaire. And he and his buddies will now target you in a nightly visit where they'll torture you and your family until you give them your coins.

Or another example: you're the business owner but the customer pays with tainted bitcoins, coming from child trafficking. Now your Coinbase account will be frozen if you send the coins there, or you'll be unable to use them in other ways because they're tainted.

The ability to transact privately is for your personal safety and to be able to transact with other people without being branded a terrorist or pedophile and have to deal with those false accusations.
