Yeah, the reality is that things right now really are pretty bad and likely to get much worse. Pretty much everyone knows that the situation now is not sustainable and that we're only starting to really experience the consequences of letting things get this messed up.

Of course so many people are experiencing anxiety these days. Our lizard brains are screaming at us that we need to be doing something, but pretty much all of us are powerless to stop the worst things going on and it's perfectly normal to not know what we're supposed to be doing right now. "Prepare" is a very sensible instinct and money really can solve, or at least ease, a lot of problems so it makes sense to want more in times of uncertainty. Sounds like you know you're in a pretty good place there already though.

I would suggest (as others have) talking with therapist, but I'd also suggest that you spend time examining the specific issues that worry you to try to think of things you can do to help or at least prepare for what's likely to happen in ways besides just making more money. Listen to your body which is telling you this isn't the time to be idle, but make sure you're devoting that energy where it can do the most good without making yourself miserable.
If the worst happens all the money in the world won’t save you. No one can predict the future, including you, and if the future is doomed your time is far more precious than your money.

Times always seem uncertain to those living in them, especially if you pay close attention to all the various problems in the world almost exclusively (of which there has always, and will always be a long list of). Instead focus on what’s in front of you and in your control in the here and now. Be grateful for the immensely wonderful and comfortable amenities around you. When was the last time you were hungry and couldn’t find food? Or even more when was the last time you couldn’t eat virtually anything you wanted to within an hour?

This is not the sign of a civilization on the verge of collapse. We’ve got some things to sort, and may not get there, but enjoy the immense privilege it is to try while you have the faculties to do so.

> The prime consideration is not execution speed but maintainability.

Why? And how did you measure this drop in maintainability? I'm asking because I see developers prioritize _perceived_ maintainability over _measurable_ things that matter to the user (like performance).
Pay isn't determined by our fundamental qualities as a human or "skills" whatever they are. If it was, we'd all be billionaires and then the laws of economics would kick in and ruin everything. There aren't enough resources in the world to give 8 billion humans the lifestyle they ought to have.

Your pay is basically a measure of "this is how hard it is to replace you" with an adjustment for how bad it would be if you quit and your employer doesn't bother to replace you. Your talents, insofar as they are a factor, are only useful to you in figuring out how to do something that is both uncommon and useful.

Don't expect to be well paid because of your skill or talent. There are a lot of talented people out there, raw intelligence is relatively cheap and easy to find. If we can rank humans by talent then there are 80 million people out there in the top 1% of talent. It isn't special. Even top 0.1% is a relatively large pool vs how many people are needed of that calibre.

US IMEI's potentially are. They are recorded upon purchase - from carrier or reseller.

Sims same, they are immediately tied to your account and if you are post paid, there you go.

Anonymous cell phones also aren't entirely possible anymore because of network effect and the convenience factor.

1. Network effect, who you know, who you call, when they call you - pattern.
2. Internet usage, where do you go?
3. Geolocation - GPS, proximity with other cell phones, and then internal measuring devices. You can disable reporting completely, sure, but triangulation is user carrier side data, and with 5g roll outs and other potential signal repeaters and cell phones, it's still very accurate.
4. Sideline recording of this data is possible, same as a heat map in googlemaps - just looking for repeatable patterns of usage, where you go, etc.

It's not only hard, cell phones nowadays are not designed for anonymous usage. And this is before we even get into adtech, app tracking and other layers of interaction.

Vitamin D studies can be divided into three categories.

(1) Treating Vitamin D deficiency – vitamin D deficiency is associated with huge number of problems, more is discovered all the time. Deficiency can and can and should be corrected with supplements. Evidence is overwhelming. In many Nordic regions you can't get enough D from food+sun alone. Absorption efficiency decreases with age, elderly should take more. Deficiency is easy to check with a blood test.

(2) Defining good level of vitamin D in blood serum – it seems that good level is slightly higher than previously thought, but evidence is still coming in. Taking little more (~2x recommended) is not harmful.

(3) Taking extra amounts of vitamin D – numerous studies, little evidence or contradictory evidence.

While I find this comment section fascinating and will read it top to bottom, I can't help but make an observation that such articles often comply with:

+-------------------------------------------------+
| People really do love Python to death, do they? |
+-------------------------------------------------+

I find that extremely weird. As a bystander who never relied on Python for anything important, and as a person who regularly had to wrestle with it and tried to use it several times, the language is non-intuitive in terms of syntax, ecosystem, package management, different language version management, probably 10+ ways to install dependencies by now, subpar standard library and an absolute cosmic-wide Wild West state of things in general. Not to mention people keep making command-line tools with it, ignoring the fact that it often takes 0.3 seconds to even boot.

Why would a programmer that wants semi-predictable productivity choose Python today (or even 10 years ago) remains a mystery to me. (Example: I don't like Go that much but it seems to do everything that Python does, and better.)

Can somebody chime in and give me something better than "I got taught Python in university and never moved on since" or "it pays the bills and I don't want to learn more"?

And please don't give me the fabled "Python is good, you are just biased" crap. Python is, technically and factually and objectively, not that good at all. There are languages out there that do everything that it does much better, and some are pretty popular too (Go, Nim).

I suppose it's the well-trodden path on integrating with pandas and numpy?

Or is it a collective delusion and a self-feeding cycle of "we only ever hired for Python" from companies and "professors teach Python because it's all they know" from universities? Perhaps this is the most plausible explanation -- inertia. Maybe people just want to believe because they are scared they have to learn something else.

I am interested in what people think about why is Python popular regardless of a lot of objective evidence that as a tech it's not impressive at all.
We are talking about business logic. The infrastructure is already in a lower level language, so the performance is not a concern.

And we will have to disagree on C#/Java/Python being unreadable mess. In my experience all 3 can be written in a really well maintainable way. I don’t have much experience with Go, but out of these, I would vote for it as the least maintainable (as just because each line is trivial to understand, doesn’t make the whole program flow easy to read. Otherwise why not just write assembly, every line is even more trivial there)

I switched from pass to KeePassXC/Keepass2Android (with my .kdbx file living in OneDrive). It’s a much more convenient experience on all platforms. Transparent sync via OneDrive, simple self-contained files and apps, no git and no PGP to mess around with, convenient browser integrations, support for auto-type including working with the the idiotic partial-password thing one of my banks does. pass might be fine if you’re only working with Linux/macOS boxes (although I’d still consider it easy to mess up). If you’re also using Windows, then pass is much less convenient. On Android, the setup with Android-Password-Store and OpenKeychain was pretty fragile and annoying last time I used it.

It's a fair criticism of Haskell that you can fairly easily blow up your time/space complexity without realising it though. I think in many ways it's better but Haskell specifically demands a lot even for a functional language.
>But conveniently when he was refusing to go to Sweden he was not on UK soil

Except he wasnt. He was Wandsworth prison and later free on bail. For the avoidence of doubt, it is Her Majestys Prison Wandsworth, which is sovereign, inviolable, land of Her Majesty the Queen of the UK.

The case was fought, in person at the Royal Courts of Justice, again sovereign, inviolable, land of Her Majesty the Queen of the UK.

>> It is not enough to convince the court that he acted in good faith, or that what he did was the right thing.

You’re right! Convincing a court that you acted in good faith or did the right thing is almost never enough in a criminal trial. “I killed that man because I really thought he was a bad guy” doesn’t make you innocent of murder and neither does “I was going 150 miles per hour in good faith” make you innocent of reckless driving.

That’s how our justice system works. Your approach is completely untenable and would lead to wildly different results for two persons who each engage in the exact same illegal conduct.

I moved to the forest, way off grid.

The grand existential worries are further away, and the birds still sing each morning. Of course the worries are still there, but I have enough real, imminent, and perfectly solvable worries right here to keep me occupied and feeling adequately in control of my environment.

I suppose one can choose to try to persist in the mechanised world, and if you can make it work, power to you — or you can reject it and walk away into the bushes. There’s nothing wrong with choosing a different path. Some folks will try to talk you out of it, but they speak from their fears. Now more than ever, what with all-spanning connectivity, if you need to work for a living, you can, from anywhere.

Keep investing, is all I’d say - the markets are depressed and are likely to become moreso, so it’s an excellent time to think about accruing - it’s how I’ve afforded to do what I do, and work only because I want to.

For what it’s worth, my living expenses out here are so low that it’s put me in a position to better help those who need it, be it family, friends, or just a local villager who’s struggling to put food on the table, than I ever was in while I worked in a city for a living.

> "Currently, an engine and a diesel tank are much cheaper to buy and especially maintain."

Yes, diesel is cheaper to buy than battery trains. But pretty much everyone, including the main article here, agrees that maintenance costs are much lower with electric trains compared to diesel. I'd expect that (at least once the technology matures) this will also be true of battery electrics.

The point is, if you start with the assumption that diesel is unacceptable and routes must be electrified - for reasons like climate change, toxic air pollution, route reliability, passenger comfort, etc, then there are many routes where battery electrics are going to greatly reduce costs compared to installing overhead wires on every section of track.

> "There's a battery version of the Stadler FLIRT [2]. It went 224 km (at about 80 km/h) on one battery charge recently [3]. They will be in operation for DB from the end of 2022 on."

Yes, I expect we'll see a lot more battery electric units introduced in Europe in the coming years. There are so many routes where they make perfect sense.

That is simply not correct. Nearly all laws have exceptions which mean you can be found innocent under the right circumstances, even if you admit to doing whatever you're charged of.

For example, you can kill people in self-defense many places in the world. Ambulances and firetrucks can drive 150 mph if they are doing it to save people's life.

10,000t weight? If it’s made up of rock with a density of 3000kg/m3, it’s 3333 cubic meters, so about 15x15x15 m3. Basically a large building. I’m not sure what kind of shaft can handle it. And even if you can pull it of, 10000t over 1000 meters is only 27 MWh of storage. 1 pumped hydro plant can store hundred of GWh!
