Cats tire out mice and injure mice specifically for eating but sometimes they just mutilate the body, those seemingly playful pats of their paw have a lot of force and can send a mouse across the room. The mouse is taking consequential damage on every swing, which can come in quick succession, and the mouse is not fast enough to escape.

The cats in turn avoid any bites when they go to actually eat it. They could theoretically do something else to kill and eat faster, but its more akin to their long range attack ensuring they take no damage, avoiding any skin piercing infection.
My own personal preference would have been retro SCUMM engine, but it's the gameplay and the humour that make Ron's games stand out.

It would make sense to not try and target people like me: The bulk of potential players were probably not born when the previous Monkey Islands games were released.

It seems you've picked the weakest version of what I said (which means communication becomes less likely)

Two points

1) the glue code you HAVE to write to make the composition in other languages and the mantianability issues you get also may introduce wrong results
2) MAY doesn't mean it will and we trade-off speed / convenience and risk in many other areas. Surgeons (or the health system in general) do trade off % of success for cost / speed, just because they don't have the resources to do everything / spend 100 hours on everyone
Developer productivity specifically and knowledge work in general is extremely hard to measure.

Not only that, it is also very subjective. What is valuable to one person might be a liability to another.

Just the other day I looked at results from a developer who spun a huge mess of AWS infrastructure, microservices, lambdas and so on all to solve a very simple problem. He probably congratulated himself for a job well done.

So the success of this person would largely depend on the manager he has. For example, how much the manager values simplicity.

THIS. Well said.
People at the low end of the pay scale working in travel, food service, hospitality, cleaning, etc, got an opportunity to not grind themselves down for a pittance.

It was already happening throughout the 2010s, although wages in tech were rising sufficiently fast to easily offset the increase in prices. My conjecture is the bottom 0% to 40% are making gains and they are coming from the 40% to 90%.

With a lower and lower labor participation rate (aging population), coupled with the opportunities for remote work, I would expect those in person, customer service or jobs where you get your hands dirty to demand even higher prices. I.e. expect to pay more for travel/restaurants/hotels/retail/etc and expect to receive lower quality services/products.
Well obviously, the work is done, Teslas are robo-taxiing and self driving since around 2019, no?

> Another sad thing is that we lose our memory in a step function. We remember something for a long time without using it, and then all of sudden it's gone from our memory.

Not sure memory loss is quite that binary. Heading for mid-40s here, and often things are still there, but it's higher latency to fully recall it. A bit like it's stored off in Amazon Glacier. Or often I can get the first byte quickly ("I know that person's surname starts with a P") but retrieving the full answer takes longer and some brute force iterations. It's as if I've hit a hash-table collision and need to binary-compare the results, or I've reached a node in a tree-structure that has many branches ("Is it Pfeffle? Piper? No, Pfeiffer!")
> Programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code. They may realize the problem they’re being asked to solve doesn’t need to be solved, that the client doesn’t actually want what they’re asking for. They may know where to find reusable or re-editable code that solves their problem.

This snippet is at the heart of it for me. The best analogy I give is a drawing of Pablo Picasso's horse. After many years of understanding your craft, a developer knows how to provide the most value with the least complexity required. It's not because the developer doesn't want to write code. It's more that they understand how to maximize the tools available for the system they work in. Reduction of complexity is better than the addition of it over the long term.
Be a Better Writer: Bottom-Up Explanations
It seems the author doesn't think as many people should be going to university, and the reason people go to university is because credential inflation makes it harder for non-college-graduates to get a job, and more people will go to university if they think it will be cheaper because debt cancellation implies the possibility of future debt cancellation, hence lowering the effective code of going to college.

Web Scraping with Node.js: How to Leverage the Power of JavaScript
Europe is big and spans many latitudes. Not many AC units here in UK, they're quite common in Italy.
People in rich countries hate it when companies do that. There's also the additional hassle of verifying addresses. All so you can get a little extra money from some poor countries. I can see why they wouldn't bother.
I don’t have much to add but what I do have is a question. What happens when people are priced out of economic activity. Most recent memory of this much economic turbulence is ‘08 but the conditions between then and now are incomparable.
Yes, we're lacking context here. Most of the time developers will want to build things from scratch given the opportunity. It's simply easier (from one's opinion) and the time gap may provide with better tooling and frameworks. That applies whether the new lead developer is good or bad.

And longer time is not a good indicator too, since previously op may cutting corners to make development faster.

However 19 engineers handling one project that can be handled by one person previously is imo, a sign of not optimized work. That is, granted if the scope of work is the same for both.
Also schedule adaptations and building styles. It's not like high wet-bulb temperatures instantly kill you, it's the accumulation of heat in your body you can't get rid of fast enough. So you can go out for short times to move between buildings that either have AC or are built to stay cool enough (reflective roof and enough thermal mass to keep temperatures manageable during the day). Anything that requires you to be outside for extended times can just be done during colder parts of the day, or even in colder seasons.

As things get hotter places like Iran and Pakistan can adapt with more AC. The problems will be worse for places without electricity grids and a population that is too poor for alternative means like running AC from solar.
> I also notice a considerable degradation of mental work

Austria's Federal Statistical Office reported this week[0] that there is a significant increase in the number of road traffic accidents in Austria on days with a top temperature of 30°C or above. They report a corresponding increase of the proportion of road accidents caused by "distraction" or "carelessness" on these hot days.

But we spent most of our days in offices with AC.
Nope, I don't think EME is the reason piracy has another boom. Looking at music stats, while there is still a thriving piracy community most people now gave up and pay for music streaming services, and it's easy to see why. Most record companies and artists (reluctantly) accept that it'll be better if there's something rather than nothing and you could access the same catalogues from one app to the next (there are obscure asterisks but for 80-90% of people it's not a bother). On the other hand, studios are still deep in denial about that simple fact and have tried to slice-and-dice access to movies, which as you might have seen led to the revival of movie piracy.

To simplify, for music you just choose if you want the additional services offered by Spotify or Apple and not focusing on what catalogue it has (barring some obscure asterisks), while this is the polar opposite has happened on music industry and now you are either actively researching where goes what or just gave up and pirate. As Gabe Newell has said, give the consumers a better service and they'll use it. Record companies succumbed and quietly accept this, studios don't (and I'll wager that they will eventually accept to have a single service).
Is it just me or is it messed up that the article is talking about people dying from climate changes and most of the comments on here are talking about how AC makes humans more productive and that is great?

They are talking about enduring as surviving, not "putting up with". Wow, talk about willful blindness.,..

If they were friction less, they would be in balance without passengers and would start moving downwards with passengers stepping onto them at the top. And could theoretically move a lighter group of passengers on another escalator upwards. In practice it seems very unlikely that one could make this work with reasonable effort. It already starts with the fact that you are probably not going to have well balanced streams of passengers in both directions most of the time.
But the escalators carrying the people "down" have the help of the gravity pulling all those people down and the motor works mostly as a brake...if the motors fails, it speeds up: https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/uegc45/escalator_break...

So, if the motor worked as a generator too, it would only use power when turning the empty escalator (because of friction), but when enough people are standing on it, it could actually generate power.
In Europe, nearly all offices have AC units, same in all malls, in many public transportation, shops, restaurants, many cars...
The 35 wet-bulb figure assumes ideal conditions otherwise: shade, access to hydration, and complete physical inactivity. People will get sick, and some will die, sitting on their couches. It's the level at which death or severe illness becomes a likely outcome of long-term exposure, no matter what. The good news is that it almost never happens in nature. 31-32 is about as bad as it gets, anywhere in the world. You'll be miserable at 31 WBT, but if you drink lots of water (meaning 2+ gallons per day) and stay in the shade, you won't die. Go out and work in the sun for two hours and all bets are off.

That said, most people in the world cannot afford to sit on their couches to wait out the heat. Agricultural workers will start dropping dead once we see 30 WBT on a regular basis. If things get bad enough, we'll see a collapse in food productivity that will utterly destroy the global system, and while the downfall of corporate capitalism is something all people of conscience want, I don't think any of us want it to happen in that precise way, because it'll be replaced by something worse (widespread war and slavery).
Political troubles come from food and energy costs going to high or supply being disrupted.

That will almost always be long the weather in that specific area really shocks everyone, because the food and energy come from a different place where there was a weather shock.

Yes, the problem with comparing the study on mice to people is that mice iterate much quicker than humans.

Generation time in (lab) mice is about 9-11 weeks, while in humans living in modern societies it takes between 20 and 30 years.

To have actual consequences on society at large we need to wait at least two generations, so obviously in such a long period of time people won't notice the build up, like they do in the short time span it takes for mice.

It happened with climate change too.

>> What we are seeing is the predictable result of the classic monetary models

Respectfully, models that are known to be wrong, as all models are - they are models after all.

Austerity - where has that ever worked? Post-war Germany and... ??? I mean it's constantly tried everywhere (Greece is a good recent example of its futility). Classic monetary models clearly predict it should work, we've tried it hundreds of times in different countries over the past ~100 years, and it's worked once. Maybe we just need to try extra super duper hard the next time?

My skepticism rises when i hear people confidently proclaim their economoic model predicts anything at the macro level. What we're seeing is a lazy attempt to ignore the models are not useful. If prices stay low for 5 more years than the models predict then we are told by the over-confident types that we should just wait a little longer to see the effect but they're coming. If prices go up then "AHA! Justified, i told you so". Prices can ONLY go down, up or stay the same - if you wait long enough of course they go up!

There's a big wooly gap between alleged cause and effect that we're just supposed to not question when people confidently tell us their model predicted the outcome.
The DRAM signaling is very strange, I worked briefly on a hardware DDR controller and the timing reference was over pins called dqs. These pins sent a signal to represent the bit transition so they could be safely captured by the receiver. All good, except the pins were bidirectional so when transmitting you sent a reference on the same pins, so lost the reference from the other side. The issue then was when you just switch from trasmitting to receiving, you have to quickly re-lock to the sending reference, which is a pain in the ass, and really complicates things. DDR phys could be simplified if dqs was unique per TX and RX directions, but nope, penny pinching on the signal count.

The thing is that the wanton serial seemingly-senseless slaughter isn't confined to domesticated weasels. Wild weasels do it too. We keep chickens and have heard so many stories of people coming out to find that a fisher has gotten into their coop and destroying 20, 30 chickens and then just leaving with maybe one. Their instinct to kill is so strong and they're intensely efficient at it it seems to go well beyond hunting for hunger.

Yes, cats are a bit like this, too, but not to this scale. And cats are remarkably more parsimonious with their energy usage. They'll beat up a mouse for an hour, and then just sleep like crazy. Or stalk a single bird, and be satisfied with that.
Calling these "Smart Cards" is misleading, as that is a very well-established term for something else (cards containing an embedded IC used for authorization) [1].

The role of "one link" to a page with links to accounts/profiles on other sites seems well-served by existing sites including LinkTree [2] and KeyBase [3].

Potential customers could already put a LinkTree URL + QR code on a business card; the website doesn't do a great job of explaining why NameKard is better (and I have less trust in its website remaining available).

If the company is large, it’s not that recognizing talent is hard, it’s rewarding talent. I’ve worked at places that lock in 3% average compensation increases for departments. That includes promotions. So in a team of 5, if you give one person a 15% raise, everyone else gets zero. This is a ham fisted way that companies keep salaries under control.

It’s not that managers don’t know who is good, it’s that they can’t do anything about it.
It's both cardio and sauna. The body adapts to these stimuli with greater heat adaptation, it's well studied in sports physiology. It works even better when cardio is combined with heat: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24444197/
Bear markets: what they are, how long they last, and how to invest during them
> I live in the south of france, and I already want to move out to a colder place. Summers are too long.

Ironically, you may want to move to a hotter place where AC is pervasive. I was suffering from the hot French summer too, but doing fine in NYC or Singapore.

French summer is too short so people haven't been using AC traditionally. Conversely, some warmer countries like Greece or Taiwan don't always have heaters and live in coldish houses in winter.
I'm in the market for a house and friends make fun of me when I say I do not want to live in Southern Europe because of climate change, even though I miss it.

Whenever I'll buy, I have to consider that in 30 years it's going to be hotter and I'll be 65 years old.

I used to live in Italy, it's going to be up to 39C in Rome the next two weeks.

I'll miss the sea and the food by staying north, though we'll be planting cantaloupes and prickly pears here in England in 3 decades.
You should understand the limits of what you can change in your condo. Some let the owners do anything within the 4 walls, some limit any refurbs, etc. If the condo is going to do it, they probably would need to hire a licensed electrician to do the wiring and that can get expensive, especially if its for the entire complex. Are there fiber runs to each unit? Or is it a shared fiber box for a building and 5 units in the building share it?

DIY ethernet can be fun. You can buy all the tools needed for a simple install at a home improvement store here in the US - crimping tools, outlet boxes, wire, etc. You may also need a wall-fish device to make it easier to get wires through the walls. Usually all wiring inside walls is stapled/fastened to the internal wall structure in some way so removing the CAT5 may not be worth the time/effort.
Researchers specialize and as such even in a "single field" they work at very different levels of abstraction; one subfield will care about building up some novel construction from first principles and then another subfield will want to use that construction as a basic axiomatic building block and abstracting from the details. E.g. execution performance optimization of a known formula is orthogonal to developing a better formula, we want people working on both these aspects, these are going to be different people who each build on their own subfields first principles that don't overlap much with the first principles of the other researcher.

the participant entered a specialized environmental chamber that had adjustable temperature and humidity levels. While the participant performed light physical activity like light cycling or walking slowly on a treadmill, the chamber either gradually increased in temperature or in humidity until the participant reached a point at which their body could no longer maintain its core temperature.

Why are they having people do "light physical activity"? The 35C number they're comparing to is for someone generating as little heat as possible (resting).

I have to really really believe in the exponential - sigmoid development of green / carbon free energy and tech for this situation to be bearable. I hope the ridiculously low solar prices cause an exponential growth of installations, causing cheap peak-solar power prices for hydrogen based products to become competitive against fossil fuels. Its my only hope for the future atm.
You would think that if management had known it would cost them at least 19x what they were paying you, they would be happy to give you whatever raise you asked. But, maybe not. There are a lot of other factors.

There's a trust factor. For some reason, upper management doesn't necessarily trust the judgement of their lower management, like like lower management rarely trusts the judgement of their engineers.

There's an information disparity. Upper management often doesn't see what people on the lower rungs of the org chart are doing. To upper management, it looks like the one who's getting all the things done is lower management, not the engineers.

There's also a psychological factor. For some reason, humans are much more likely to overpay for something new than to pay far less to maintain something old. I'm not entirely sure why, but I see this mentality affect everybody from upper management to engineers to people buying cars.

There's also the ego factor. I've seen some business owners react very, very poorly to having an employee request a raise. It can be perceived as somebody trying to take more money out of your pocket for no return. This can also be applied to larger companies and budgets, bonuses, etc.

There's also the "fiefdom" factor. Your management might see expanding your team from 1 engineer to 19 as an improvement to their social standing in the company regardless of how much money it costs the company. The larger your department, the more important you're perceived to other departments and the c-suite.

edit: spelling and clarity.
