Not to undermine the effort that has been put into, but it's interesting that we used to churn out such redesigns across multiple webpages & logo, within a matter of weeks and mostly as a single developer taking help / feedbacks from another, if needed. This was at a product startup early in my career.

I'm not implying that this entire project was a scam, but it's interesting how two different flavours of working styles can bring out so much difference in efficiency.
I have to agree - finding a good trainer has made an incredible difference. Years ago I tried a random trainer at my local gym who spent most of his time alternating between weird exercises and incredulously asking about how I possibly came to be so out of shape. I lost some weight and gained some muscle but it wasn’t worth it.

Years later an independent trainer was recommended to me, much more expensive, but I gave it a shot. This trainer didn’t make me feel bad, didn’t make outlandish promises, just made me lift weights and do some HIIT. It mostly the same 20 exercises or so in different combinations, focusing on different parts of the body each time.

And it worked - I’ve doubled my bench press, my squat, and my deadlift, and I’ve got better core stability and balance. My sporadic shoulder and knee problems have largely gone away. Even losing ground during 2020/2021, I’m in much better shape than I started.

I could probably technically maintain my current fitness now - I certainly could recreate many of the exercise loops we do- but the commitment and consistency is the key part that I get, along with getting help with what to do when my back is a little sore, or I pulled a muscle over the weekend.
It's worth noting when talking about how Zig isn't "memory safe" that comparisons to C aren't very illustrative because C almost goes out of its way to let the programmer shoot themselves in the foot. Zig was designed with a lot of features to prevent the kinds of errors C damn near encourages.
Consider just the simple task of "forget about the last commit I made." Mercurial has like five different ways to do this (hg rollback, hg uncommit, hg strip, hg prune, hg histedit),

Wow 5 commands, none of which have a confusing - or -- flag, or are an overload of another command? That's really impressive.

I've been using git non-stop for 7 years at this point. I have no idea how to "forget about the last commit I made." off the top of my head. I'm sure one day soon I'll need to do it, will look it up, and then forget it immediately because gits cli makes no sense.
You had a condition that directly competed for scarce resources with another respiratory disease.

Routine cardiac, cancer, and other diagnostic screenings do not exhibit the same resource conflict and yet were also stopped or sharply curtailed in many places.
Yeah, I remember Lotus... And you seriously would've rather used that??? I prefer to keep torture out of schools.

It was the other way around, at least where I live. Companies pressured schools to teach skills they actually need people to have - and that's MS Office, because even today nothing else comes close.

And children with aptitude for computers, who don't need office suites but would like programming - that's less than 1%. If you want public schools, you're not going to have specialized teaching for small groups - nobody pays more for that.
My area has the inverse. Cryovac ground beef is way up but both the fancier stuff at the grocery store as well as the local stuff at the farmers market is roughly the same.
>> You should not underestimate the effect that constant administrative and grant writing might have on a researcher: many graduate students will tell you of their disappointment when encountering high status scientists who cannot seem to do actual research anymore.

While I don't have the data to support this my intuition is that there are now many, many more researchers than in earlier years- both senior researchers who already have a career and junior researchers that are trying to get theirs started.

The amount of science funding probably has also increased, but there are just too many people exiting PhD programmers for all of us to find cozy research jobs where we are free to pursue our interllectural interests undisturbed while the public money slowly but steadily drips in.

In other words, a moderate pot of grant money combined with a huge number of new PhDs makes for huge competition.
I have always wondered why inheritance taxes require liquidation of assets, that is unnecessary pain. Just grant the government an ownership stake to land, assets and businesses which the inheritor can buy back over time.
> That aside, I believe athletes _do_ use interval training (HIIT). But if you have a source, I'd be interested.

Yes, athletes do use interval training for specific purposes. But they don't do it for the majority of their training because it takes a lot to recover from. Since it takes more to recover, it limits how much training you can do. And athletes recover significantly faster than an untrained person. A fascinating read is by the guy who set the recent 10k speed skating record [0], he basically cycled for 7 hours a day.

An untrained person can't do 'HITT' properly, it takes too long for their heart rate to recover to normal. If they do something like 1 minute on, 30 seconds off, their heart rate during the 'resting' interval will still be pretty close to their working heart rate. They won't manage to keep it up for more than say 5 minutes (random number).

Now yes, 5 minutes of HITT is more effective than 10 minutes of LISS. But 1 hour of LISS is more effective than 5 minutes of HITT. And you can do 1 hour of LISS everyday without accumulating a lot of fatigue. Where as if an untrained person did HITT one day, there's a high chance that the next day they won't be able to preform at the same intensity. There's also significantly lower injury chance doing LISS.

It just sits there. Later maybe something gets done with it, but by the magic of non-zero interest rates that's cheaper than doing anything with it now. In the meantime, its heat production steadily declines, which makes that future processing (or burial, or shooting off into space, or whatever) easier and easier.

The only real downside of dry casks is that after about 300 years the waste is so decayed that it's no longer self-protecting from "amateur" diversion of the contained plutonium. So something needs to be done by then.
4-way stops get installed in volume because neighborhoods gentrify and the new residents complain about the traffic being too fast (the old residents had bigger problems to care about) and converting 2-way stops to 4-way stops is a cheap/easy way to slow down traffic, kinda. Then the next week they complain about having to listen to every vehicle accelerate from the stop.
I use Simplifi Money. Yes, it's Intuit. Yes, Intuit sucks.
That's the system though. They have the best bank integration. I've used others like YNAB and a few competitors. They aren't as good.

You cannot get out of manually categorizing everything, but the transactions use regex for auto categories so that reduces some work.

Once I approve all of my expenses, I go into Simplifi's spending plan and I make a plan for large one-off expenses (roof repair, new tires) for the month. These are added to a copy of the spending plan from the previous month. What this does is leave you with the transactions that are "unplanned". I check those and I add anything I missed to planned expenses, or I dispute those charges.

It works extremely well for me, and I balance a large number of accounts.

The only issue is that it doesn't work well with investments. For those accounts I keep a separate spreadsheet with a column for each month. I put balance and returns for that month as well as returns minus Inflation month on month. Every three months, depending on my income stream, I may deduct some money from investments, but the rule I use is I only deduct a positive 3 month return - inflation over that period. That way I only take money out of the market when it's up.

The system works well for me.

I should also say I keep a 3-5 month buffer in stablecoins on Gemini. I earn a relatively nice return 7%-ish on a very liquid asset that I can draw from within 3 days. I also keep 1-2 months of expenses in my checking account.
Yes, that's an impressive list, and useless without quantitative data, and comparisons to the effects of not locking down soon enough, which got pretty gnarly in places like Italy early on, for instance

And bullshit there's no evidence. You're clearly just not interested in considering it. Which is why you make hyperbolic statements like "there is no single scientific evidence". Give me break.
Alternatively, it’s a good opportunity for staff that don’t get management cut-through to send messages upwards.
Strongly agreed. I graduated university just as Lost started airing. As much as people deride the show now it was a genuine phenomenon at the time and I maintain that talking about the hatch or Locke’s map was a huge social boost to me as I tried to figure out workplace social dynamics in my first real job. As a sibling commenter has said about the only equivalent left is sports and I begrudge having to engage with it.
Fantastic lyrics and syncs very well with the tune.
> are you sure you're not just saying this because years of software being slow [...]

Yes. And I don't know where to even start explaining this. Don't get me wrong.

"Simply put": there is no use case for this. Moana e.g. has gazillions of vegetation geometry instances. Why would you have those inside a DCC?
Pebbles on the shore, etc. etc.

VFX pipelines are specialized. An animator does not care if there are 10 million hairs on their furry character while they do the animation. A lighter only cares to see the fur when it's rendering, not while operating the light rig in the DCC.
Modern pipelines have instant feedback/viewport rendering where proxy geometry is swapped out for "the real thing" by the renderer (or a custom plugin inside the renderer) on the fly.

The result, inside the renderer, is something like the Moana dataset. Hence its publication. It's a stress test for renderers, not DCCs.
This feels like a product that Casio should be selling.
Of course it extended some specific lives. It also shortened others. The question is what the net effect was and I don’t think we’ll ever have reliable data on the net effect of the lockdowns in China.
Besides the security implication that mschuster mentioned there is also: misleading marketing, if a product is marketed as Made in USA it should consist of a majority of parts made locally.

My product, currently in prototype stage, is made locally here in London. I go to great lengths to ensure that (even down to raw material level where possible). It’s not economical, but that’s not why I’m doing it. I’m doing it because I believe in it. Way too many known and unknown companies just offshore manufacturing. Globalisation is bad. Support the local industry and make better things here!
“The average new car in the US lasts like 2x longer than it did in 1998. Shouldn’t that factor in?”

Absolutely not. Where do you stop with this game? Do you factor in that the seats are better so people go less to the doctor for back pain?
How many hours do you think this course would take for an experienced developer with plenty of applied maths but ~no machine learning?

I think experience riding trains in Europe such as the Barcelona Metro underground trains should be required before being appointed to a local transportation authority position in the USA.
Etsy isn’t garbage because someone stopped curating the homepage. It’s because investors demanded growth above all else and Etsy now probably makes 100x the money it used to, human curation or not.

John the ripper was able to get some good results with a different FPGA:

"Added FPGA support for 7 hash types for ZTEX 1.15y boards...Specifically, we support: bcrypt, descrypt (including its bigcrypt extension), sha512crypt & Drupal7, sha256crypt, md5crypt (including its Apache apr1 and AIX smd5 variations) & phpass. As far as we're aware, several of these are implemented on FPGAvfor the very first time. For bcrypt, our ~119k c/s at cost 5 in ~27W greatly outperforms latest high-end GPUs per board, per dollar, and per Watt."

I also do pushups to balance out climbing, because although climbing works all the muscles fairly well, it over develops the back slightly. Even though I'm pretty anti-gym, i think body weight exercises are great, because you can pretty much do them anywhere at any time and they tend to target a broader range of muscles unlike gym exercises.

The one thing I learned about push-ups recently is how we have a tendency to get tripped up by the measurement fallacy... i mean how else do you measure it other than how many right? The thing is that if you optimise for quantity you will actually end up with bad form and be cheating by using momentum. If you goal is to actually improve your body somehow then you start focusing on form and control, which can be a little bit demoralizing at first because you will no doubt be back squarely in the <10 range, but you will have abs of steel if you keep it up :P

> The Spreadsheet Mentality comes from the age-old executive wisdom of “Only what’s measured is what matters.” As a result of that wisdom, the underlying assumption becomes: “If it can be tracked, it’s important. If it can’t be tracked, it’s less important.”

A better formulation, that more accurately describes what happens, is: if you can't track what's important, you think that what you can track is important. This leads to total catastrophes (such as, for instance, the beginning of the Vietnam war where the number of enemy deaths became the measure of success).

"What can be tracked" doesn't matter; what matters is what matters. If that can't be tracked, well then we need to find a way to track it. It can be hard, but it's almost always possible.

> you would seriously prefer that?!

I’d prefer a real education about how computers work, not to learn any particular single tool or ecosystem.

Religious education does not only teach Christianity. It’s wild that computer education only teaches (or taught) Microsoft (a non-European proprietary corporation).

> even today nothing else comes close.

Close to what though?

Close to replicating MS office? Sure, but that’s like judging an apartment building on the merits of a house.

Your implication that productivity tools compared to MS office are lacking. That’s extremely dubious, perhaps some features are lacking (google sheets doesn’t support GANT charts for example) but there’s other things that you can do which are impossible in office (google sheets can do raw SQL and attach to big query); I’m specifically comparing google to MS here but it’s mainly to give an idea that things don’t map 1:1 across productivity suites.

And yes: The world runs on excel, but I find it hard to believe that’s because excel is the pinnacle of software. It’s probably more to do with that it’s “good enough” and fairly flexible- and crucially, everyone knows it and it’s pitfalls.

You can be productive with other software.
You’re probably correct, but going forward, since remote work seems to have become more generally accepted, we might start getting these benefits in the coming years, once the noise from these shorter term causes settles down.

If you visit Bangalore, India you should visit Blossoms book store on church street. They have 2 shops nearby stacking books on all topics that you can think of, used and new. The used section is very interesting and the books are quite cheap too. Whenever I visit Bangalore, I keep one entire day for blossoms, and even that is not sufficient, you still yearn to take more books or look at them, browse racks full of rare, unheard of books along with bestsellers and classics.
I mean, lawyers and creative folk aren't mutually exclusive. Most of the time when lawyers are criticised in the media it's for their "creativity".

Surely one of the benefits of being in a club like this is that you get to meet people outside your circle, people who aren't exactly like you. If you want a programmer-only social club, could you not just hang out at the office?
I would have assumed that video game engines would have solved the problem of loading assets dynamically / on demand already, I guess not. It reminds me of Cyberpunk's bad PS4 / xbone release and issues, where a famous clip on the internet shows assets not having loaded yet during a cutscene; again, I would've thought loading assets was a solved problem.
For real though.

It takes a couple of months to 1) get your head wrapped around the core concepts and 2) get budgets and its automatic matching working well, but after that it provides an amazingly good lens into your funds.

Accountability has gone up for me and my wife, and it’s helped us make decisions that, while sometimes hard, actually made an impact. Confidence in our true financial position has also increased.

Sorry. You spoke in the first person plural “we” so I just addressed my comment back to a generic “you.” I never meant to say anyone in particular (let alone you) was a liar.

However, you were advocating for not giving people accurate numbers. Whoever is in charge of that decision should not lie. They should give accurate numbers.
SL would probably just be an irritation.

Yeah, good luck convincing a judge about that

"Well technically" works sometimes. Only sometimes. And people who aren't familiar with SEC rules are not really qualified to say if it's fair game or not.
The only downside (from the drivers perspective at least) with the newer high-speed tolling is that there are new tolls appearing all up and down the east coast of the US that didn't exist before due to the cost/complexity of building toll plazas, whereas now it just needs a gantry over the highway with some scanners/cameras.

In the DELMARVA area in particular there are now "express lanes" on I-95 that you can pay a little extra to use the lane, the tolls seem to be variable too (presumably depending on traffic).

From your description I assume under 14, no, no.

Recycling water fountain somewhere near tiles or a drain if you can afford it. There’s the pot type which has water running down the sides, low maintenance and they’re very, very safe.
> For speed/performance keep the data as local as possible.

Yeah, I agree. For scalability and resilience though, the cloud based design patterns - async queues and workers, eventual consistency, etc - is probably better. I've yet to really have a need for something like that though.
> Also was wondering if anyone had suggestions for setting up a recycled tub, that is to say the water can be set to run back after running out, so that it does not cost excessive amounts.

Unless you actually have a cost issue (do the math on that) there already exist a really good water recycling system in many developed countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclaimed_water even if it doesn't exist where you are, water is not lost due to the water cycle. In many places domestic water use is a negligible part of the
water supply issue, don't be guilted into messing with your childs development for that.

I would generally teach the children to turn off water after it is done, to not leave the room if water is running and how to prevent flooding and how deal with flooding.

If cost is actually an issue a simple variant to reduce that cost without reducing agency is to have a simple mechanic constraint how far the tab can be opened that is tamper obvious. If those mechanisms are damaged address that issue . Reinforcing is possible but also increases the risk of damage to faucet which is going to be a lot more expensive.

Water toys which use less water but also have an acceptable spilling risk could reduce water use. This could be anything from a digital circuit using water logic that just stops doing something interesting or an analog computer with a limited capacity before it fills up whose drain rate is small or requires adult supervision (lock) to drain. Closed containers with fluids might also be interesting. Such as non mixing differently colored fluids which in a drop proof container.

If you want change the amount of water allowed in a way depending on good behaviour a 3d printing pen would allow to construct tamper obvious mechanical constraints with different amounts of reinforcement which are unable to be removed without breaking in most tabs.
The F91W is a classic, and I really love that this project exists.
Weird that you need to dip down to an Nt* function to open a child given a parent handle. It's not like it's unheard of to be able to do that in the Windows API. The registry is also a hierarchical system and opening any key requires passing in a parent key handle (the root handles are predefined).
