Maybe more interesting is that the Euro is also down vs. the British pound and even the Japanese yen. It's true the US dollar is appreciating against almost every other currency, but the euro is down even against the Swiss Franc, presumably also impacted by the war in eastern Europe and its threat to grain and energy imports.
I think you might be missing parent comment's point. The way I read it they aren't saying that old code is better, just that you used built everything up from scratch generally (or to a much greater extent than nowadays) instead of using whatever framework is in fashion this week
The third week suuuuucks. I did 4 weeks. The third week was the worst. I was sick of potato and my weight loss plateaued in the third week. It started going back down again in the fourth, which offsets some of the boredom.

I don't think 2 weeks would work though. It has worked for me, I kept the weight off and it reset my appetite/satiety feedback (I get full sooner). That said, the "I want to keep eating even though I am not hungry" has come roaring back after being totally eliminated by the fourth week of potato.
Money isn’t wealth, stuff is wealth, money is just what we use for accounting, transacting, etc.

War destroys stuff, even as the numerical quantity of money remains the same.
Good point. I did try to say that whether that's a viable technique would depend on your query (but omitted some verb that should have made it better resemble a sentence in English :)).

But yes, even if no nulls are present in any table, outer join could (or maybe even should) introduce them.
Same goes for Champ (mashed potatoes with diced spring onions throughout). Seems super basic but really filling.
The people telling you to try stuff NOW, rather than later: 100%. Do not think "when I'm retired, I'll have time for this."

I'd always felt bad that I didn't practice and become a great guitar player in my teens and play in bands, like the guys I admired (and let's not even talk about the famous rock stars). So around age 40 I started singing, and then I took piano lessons. I got to be in choruses in some operas and operettas. Was this exactly my fantasy? No, but I at least got some proficiency, and got to perform in front of people who paid for it.

I found it wasn't all that great, for me, which I probably would have discovered in my 20s. But now I don't have that regret anymore. I did it.

Same for traveling: I've been to 26 countries. Coincidentally, travel sucks with COVID, so I couldn't do that now even if I wanted to. People who say "we'll travel when we retire" are kidding themselves. When you're in your late 60s, all you'll be up for is a cruise with other 60-somethings. Boring! And that's if you're even healthy enough.

I won't comment on all the other suggestions: therapy, meditation, helping others, your kids. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but hey -- I don't have all the answers for you.

This article mentions the interest rates issue but glosses over it.

Imagine two currencies ABC and DEF. They are at parity (ie 1 ABC = 1 DEF). ABC's central bank has 10% interest rates. DEF's central bank has 1% interest rates. What happens? ABC strengthens against DEF just based on the interst rate differential.

Why? Imagine if it didn't. You could borrow DEF 1B, convert to ABC, earn 10% interest and then pay it back later. If the exchange rate remains fixed, that would be a risk-free return of 9%. Because of that it doesn't happen. Think about it. This creates demand for ABC.

Because of skyrocketing inflation, the Fed has raised interest rates. Europe has not [1] and really can't.

Secondly, in uncertain times, there is nearly always a flight to the safety in financial markets, which usually means US Treasury bonds. This too creates demand for US dollars.

So there are issues with th eEuro but really what you're seeing is a strong US dollar. This is a temporary situation.

I'm not saying the energy issues in Europe aren't significant. They are. We can hope this creates pressure for a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine. This idea seems to make a lot of people angry like it means capitulating to Russia. Every conflict ends diplomatically (including WW2). Russia too is facing pressure to find a win and end the war as it's not sustainable long term so we're really in a game of chicken. Putin may be hoping a European winter (where the effects of an energy shortage will be more pronounced) will sway the odds in his favor.

This isn't about the Euro. Yen is at a 20 year low as well, and pretty much all other currencies are soft too. Its dollar strength, interest rates in USD are much higher and going up (for now).
Get into arduino/maker community.
I did the SMTM study and they prohibited dairy. So I got my B12 from sweet potato.
Is it the Euro sinking or the US dollar rising? The U.S. dollar has been gaining a lot of value over the past couple of quarters - enough so to call into question whether inflation is being caused by currency policy, as the Federal Reserve believes, or being caused by actual supply constraints - as I and several other economists believe (but I'm not an economist). The fact the dollar is rising in value and yet prices have still continued to rise tells me the problem is supply.

Supply shortages are something Western policy makers haven't had to contend with for quite some tine, certainly not in the lifetime of the policy makers!

You've hit on exactly the value being provided here - they are handling the culture, inoculation, spawning, and colonization stages and selling you an expensive box to put the result in. Sometimes people just want a quick fun activity and they don't want to research it beforehand. This product fills that need - send them money, they send you a mushroom growing experience.

My words were "slap on the wrist." I think only having to pay $1B instead of $46.5B meets the criteria.

That's Levine's analysis of, "if the banks don’t put up their $13 billion then he doesn’t have to put up his $33.5 billion".

Going by Levine's "Exhibit E", I find it hard to believe that the banks generated this much verbiage without a single escape hatch:

Yes. I understand how class action works. If Twitter were a normal company, that's what one would (correctly) expect to happen. But it isn't. I think Twitter would take on a class action before airing its dirty laundry.

>Satiety is a mental construct.

Are you implying that there aren't physical manifestations that cause hunger? In other words, I could inject you with a suprahuman amount of ghrelin and you wouldn't feel hungry?
OTOH, intuitively, as EU G&S get's cheaper, the market demand for EU G&S spikes, driving the prices up to a different equilibrium than before. It exasperates shortages in EU with secondary/tertiary supply chain effects slogging down the economy.

One anecdotal example is Czech based JetBrains. They announced a few days ago that they're increasing subscription prices. I presume, they have a huge sales numbers in the US.

I really don't understand macro-econ on this scale, Bloomberg article is good, but would be fascinating to read deep analysis of pros and cons.
"The nanoparticle vaccine was tested in cell culture and in mice."

OK, progress, but not that far along yet.

There's a similar COVID vaccine, from Caltech and Oxford, in about the same stage of development.[1] Phase I testing in humans should start some time in the next year.

This is encouraging.

It held up for me. I played a lot of Stratego with family and friends as a kid, but there was one friend in particular who routinely wiped the battlefield with my pieces. I couldn't understand how he so consistently beat me, and as an adult I was able to 1) reason more deeply about the game, and 2) quickly learn deeper strategy from the Internet. As a result, the game is even richer now to me than it was in the 1980s.
I wasn't, as my point was about every kind of place, and plus there are plenty of cities on rural areas that are cities only on paper.
Windows added a package manager with active auto-updates in Windows 8 called the Windows/Microsoft Store. It has supported non-sandboxed installers since a year into Windows 10 (the "Anniversary Update"). Late in Windows 10/11 they added a useful CLI tool for it ("winget") and a bit more than just the Store. Around the same time the Store also added support for "update feeds" other than ones that the Store directly manages.

(If anyone recalls old .NET "One Click" updaters, where you can just dump new versions into the right folder structure at a URL and the updater does the work of checking for new versions, the Store can now check similar folder structures if you'd prefer that way to manage updates instead of uploading updates directly to the Store.)

I think its more Developers don't realize their distrust of the OS is the problem today. Users are mostly happy with the Store, when they can find things on it. It is Developers that still don't like putting things on it, or have weird distrust issues with the Store, which is the issue now.
* How many days per year are you on call? Once week every 7-8 weeks

* How often do you actually get a call? On average two times a week I'm on-call if you don't count stupid alerts (I shutdown a server for upgrade, forgot to disable alerting for that first). The stupid alerts are always during the day.

* How many rotations are you in, and how many other people are in those rotations? 1 Rotation, 7-8 Person.

* Do you get any time off or additional compensation for being on call? One day time off in lieu for each week oncall.

* Do you get any time off or additional compensation for responding to an incident? Time off in lieu for time spend on the call.
Very self-aware. I like this
I am curious if this is correct: The EU has a population roughly of similar size to that of the US, and the EU had (when it included the UK) an economy roughly the size of the US in terms of GDP (https://www.thebalance.com/world-s-largest-economy-3306044). Is that right? (I just looked this up via Google)

Also, Discussion of Europe's lack of mega companies / weakness is often a theme here, and there are many fair points to be made about its lack of entrepreneur culture and unfriendliness to business. But I'd like to point out that it's worth to think about more than just economies in comparing the EU to the rest of the world. So let me mention a couple of other things worth noting:

Stuff like GDPR or the currently-in-the-works AI act (not to mention all the other rights and wellfare benefits common in much of the EU) don't help the EU's economy but do benefit its citizens in many ways (as far as I am aware).

A bunch of countries in the EU (looks like about 12) has a happiness index score higher or the same as the US (https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/happiness/Europe/). Many of its countries also have higher life expectancy (https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/).
The pace in online games is too fast (4s per move usually, with a 12m buffer) to use pen and paper aides. Short of having some sort of screen-scrabbing AI-tool that auto-labels pieces as they are revealed (doable by a decent programmer, but Stratego is no poker, there's no money in it), I think it's safe to assume top-level players don't cheat. Top-level play in live tournaments has a high correlation with top-level online play as well.
I'm not sure I fully understand the gripe you have here. Rust releases a new compiler every 6 weeks. Many releases just improve optimization and a handful of newly stabilized APIs, or existing APIs newly made `const`, or whatever. When a big feature is finished, it is put out in the next release.

There is no sense in which this increases the pace at which these new features are developed or released; if Rust released a new version yearly, we'd simply see extremely large releases some years (including, say, the new async/await system) and relatively small releases in others.

What it does mean is that backwards-compatible refinements and bugfixes can be quickly and easily added to the language, which I think is a good thing.

I'd be interested to know what you'd prefer, though!
I used the alexa top 1m, since when someone says "top website", that's what I assume is being referred to: http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip

Maybe that's stale and there's other preferred sources now.....

But you linked a "top 50" list, which seems obviously useless to make the claim you're making.
I think that is a good point. Context and intent matter.
Sometimes being a good friend means disagreement.

That said, there is productive and unproductive disagreement. Similarly, there is also transient and permanent disagreement.

There is also the matter of perspective. In the case of the alcoholic friend, there is a difference between viewing it as something that is preventing them from achieving their own goals versus your own personal code. I think the former is a much more compassionate view (and perhaps more productive).

I think this is an interesting example because most people would agree that destroying your life with Alcoholism is a bad thing, so we both share the same bias.

What if you had an alcoholic friend who judged you for not regularly drinking to excess? How does that change the logic in the example?
That is great. I love how it pushes you to write.

It is alarming how similar we are (low 30s, 4DWW, great marriage, kids, big house, etc) but I've had similar thoughts.

This sounds cliche and obvious, but it made a big difference for me:

I found myself dreaming of shipping a project, or writing a book - whatever. But, then I would stay in the dream or possibility of what could happen if I did those things - but I wasn't actually doing enough to make them happen.

So, I sat down on a Saturday morning, and wrote down what I would feel "unfulfilled" with in life if I didn't try them. Then, I wrote down a tangible plan to try them. It will takes years, but I will give them a go.

I found that for me, it was the "what if" that was killing me, so I am eliminating that element and will let the chips fall where they may.
Sounds like you are a creative person who needs to find a creative outlet. A stable job is not usually a great arena for that but it’s a prerequisite for a good life. Plenty of time for hobbies!

Big fan of Intelligence Squared but haven't seen ChangeMyView before, thanks for sharing.

Regarding the polling suggestion, that's actually how it works! Clearly need to work on the messaging a bit, to make that more apparent. There's an initial poll and then you're asked if you've changed your mind after a minute of reading the arguments.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

This is exactly it - Uber tries to have "fancy cars" as compared to cabs, but there's a reason cabs are made out of washable materials; the first time someone vomits in the back of the Uber it's never really coming back out (there's a "vomit" button in the driver app apparently, it's that common).
Europe simply printed more money than the US. Same for everyone else.

iirc vitamin b12 is essentially non-existent in vegan diets. So it's important to either eat meats/seafood, eat a vegan food fortified in it, or take a supplement (the later two are equivalent, just different delivery mechanism)
"Ulbricht, 31, of San Francisco, California, was convicted of the following seven offenses after a four-week jury trial: distributing narcotics, distributing narcotics by means of the Internet, conspiring to distribute narcotics, engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiring to commit computer hacking, conspiring to traffic in false identity documents, and conspiring to commit money laundering."

https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ross-ulbricht-aka-dread-pi...

Noticeably not on that list is anything related to murder, attempted murder, solicitation of murder, or murder-for-hire.

If I understand you correctly you are saying that the attempted murder is an element of his continuing criminal enterprise - or something like that. I don't believe this though and I haven't seen any evidence of this from you. Googling for people who are convicted for hiring fake hitmen I see that they are charged with things like "Solicitation of murder" and not "Continuing criminal enterprise."

Ulbricht was not charged with murder for hire in New York and he wasn't convicted of it ever. Ulbricht was charged with murder for hire in Maryland and those charges were dropped.

I'm receptive to the feature. But wouldn't it require locking the full table as it works? Seems like it would hurt availability of the biggest databases that would benefit most. Perhaps this is why it is thought somewhat impractical and therefore low-priority.

At least in my case, they got really good at working from home despite being junior. Not surprising as most of these engineers didn't develop office habits so they don't miss them. They like the office okay, but it's just too convenient and time efficient to stay home getting stuff done.
I've had pretty similar path (minus the long exotic trip). I've also pursued personal projects and interests very seriously, only to find out that I don't know why I'm doing them really. I found that I'm most satisfied with hedonic/epicurean lifystyle: hanging out with friends, spending time outside, cooking, reading, playing some of my favorite games. Even a job is not that bad, given how easy we can have it in the software profession. I guess any interests and ambitions I had were imprinted on my by external capitalist pressures, and I only realised that when I no longer had to run on the threadmill (I'm leanFIRE already).
OK, that's at least a more reasonable thing to be worried about [0], but as you say trying to use the law there would be damn near impossible. Take the case of a law against airplanes/cats again. I'd definitely feel very, very strongly about such an effort, and want very, very much to defeat it. In the democratic system that means rallying a critical mass of fellow citizens. If it so happens my airplane/cat platform is pretty popular and likely would share my interests amplifying that would be a reasonable way to go about it, using algorithms that optimize for results. You might say "well, commercial use restricted only" but how would that be different the typical ad testing runs which have existed forever, where they are constantly testing to try to figure out what engages people and what doesn't? If it's "malicious false claims" then that's already a violation of defamation, there isn't any need for additional law on that front, but for anything else how can we decide in a way that can't be used the other direction?

That's always the rub and the core issue of free speech: there are no oracles. You have to imagine what your worst most hated enemy demagogue would do with the tools you propose to create, because they will have them. Nobody can be trusted with the power. It is hard though, and I won't completely dismiss the idea that the scale networking/storage/ML offers can create emergent effects that don't show up at a smaller level. The legal notion of tracking for example.

It's different from a reddit poll in two ways:

1) Artificial scarcity - like Wordle or a NYTimes cover photo, there's only one per day. This focuses attention to one topic at a time.

2) Before/after polling. The audience is polled initially and then asked if they've changed their mind after a while reading arguments. The winner is the debate that changes the most minds.
The fruiting body of hericium mushrooms like lion's mane do not contain Erinacine A, which is generally recognized to be the most beneficial component of lions mane. That compound is present only in the mycelium. The fruiting body does contain Hericenones, which are also thought to have some health benefits, just not the nervous system repair benefits that Erinacine A provides.
