Yep, +1 to all of that. We have a combination of species planted (Texas), I don't really track which ones they favor. It makes it sort of easy to time cutting back the Tropical in that case, because when the others die back, you can cut back the tropical as well.

Eh I think this can be true but there are also projects that just build great open source tools with minimal selling and slowly win over engineers then maybe up sell them a bit later.

These kinds of projects usually withstand the test of time where flashier projects often burn out because they aren’t good in practice.

Good engineers are always wary of flashy things and keep an eye on substance
Oh, don't get me wrong: I really like useful information like the one in the CGP Grey video you mentioned, and also things like regional/cultural information that is part of "shared culture". Same for things like TV shows or music or old kids shows... Those really don't bother me. Shared culture is important!

But the things I'm complaining about don't really become part of "shared culture". They're more like temporary "memes" that people use to show off they're interesting. Which is perfectly fine, we all do it! But the issue for me is that those little trivia tidbits that people are using are repeated so often that they start to irk and people look deeply uninteresting. :(

This is largely not true these days. The Switch sold at a loss at-launch, but slowly turned a tiny profit as shipping prices went down. The modern revisions (Switch Mini and OLED) are also priced similarly, so any profits they're making off the hardware itself is incredibly marginal.

> And its not particularly safe spot either - instead of gun violence, there are frequent stabbings, on top of all other crime of which there is plenty.

I presume the reference to gun violence means you're comparing the UK to to US. This is nonsense, gun violence hasn't been "replaced" with stabbings - the UK homicide rate (by any means) is a sixth of the US's - 1.2 per 100,000 people for the UK vs 6.3 per 100,000 people for the US. [0]

Not only that but the US has a higher rate of knife murders than the UK. The US had 1739 homicides by knife or other cutting implement in 2020 [1], or 0.52 per 100,000. The UK had 235 knife murders in the year ending in March 2021 [2], or 0.35 per 100,000.

I take it as him denying all of it.

He lies all the time. His style of leadership to the rank and file is to provide a narrative they can buy into, and whether the facts fit that narrative or not doesn't matter. He just needs to keep the narrative roughly coherent for everyone to consume in his group.

To my eyes he's currently playing the, "I'm the victim here, but despite being blameless I will step down for the greater good of the organization" martyrdom and us vs them story. That sets him up nicely for a return to visible power after a few months.

To be clear on the 3 points I listed out, the only thing I can personally attest to is that the pedophile in question is indeed a pedophile, as we kicked him out of my former group many years ago once we found out and that he somehow found a landing spot inside of Goons despite them knowing full well what he was.
Not that there's anything worth watching on it anyway. I've not seen broadcast TV since 2010. I don't miss it.
Their competition isn't much better, either. I spent ~3 months trying to get a refund for a canceled booking from VRBO, that the host happily and enthusiastically provided. VRBO kept the money until I started trashing them online, then all of a sudden my case was escalated to someone who could correct the problem. For everyone who has sworn off Company X, there is someone else who has sworn off Company Y.

I've currently got a month-long AirBNB booking coming up and every day I cross my fingers and pray for no surprises. I don't remember ever having this kind of uncertainty and anxiety when booking with a plain old hotel.
Just talk to him. Tell him you'd like to get more recognition from the higher-ups for the work you've done on the app. He might not be aware he's taking credit, just trying to streamline the information without explaining the nuts and bolts of how an app gets built. If he seems cagey, defensive, or tries to minimize your effort then take that as a signal that you should either be OK with him taking all the credit or look elsewhere.

In my experience, the higher ups are usually pretty aware of this kind of thing and will figure it out, and if they don't they're just going to get annoyed at you if you try to point it out.

Also, just an observation -- if you can build an app from scratch, in 3 months in Bali no less, can do freelancing to pay the bills, and don't like the corporate hierarchy -- what's stopping you from just doing your own app?
Some people (like me) use AirBnB because they happen to have inventory where/when regular hotels don’t.

Honestly that's just cruel to say. It doesn't take a lot of effort, and does the receiver no good. Worse, the receiver who you intend this comment for won't even read it, so it appears purely performative. If they are smart, they'll puzzle that out on their own, and if they're not, they'll just take offense if they heard it from a stranger.

Besides, the land is advertised for building castles on. People have built castles on it before and there are people with some big castles on it right now. It's not an unreasonable move to see that and try and participate.

> that states can regulate purely intrastate Commerce is not subject to serious dispute.

> The argument is that the interstate commerce clause itself prohibits many state regulations of interstate commerce

If you argue that states have the right to regulate interstate commerce AND the congress can pass a bill in regards to abortion because doing so is in the interest of interstate commerce. Then why can't a state pass a law that allows fathers of children that were aborted in another state to sue the abortion provider that did the procedure?

On the other hand what if we agreed that having an abortion isn't a matter of interstate commerce, then congress would not have the authority to regulate it nationally and states wouldn't be able to do so either.
This is genius.

Goats eat, say, English Ivy leaves, but they obviously don't eat all the roots.

English Ivy quickly grows back (even with mere inches of roots).

This requires another round of goats.

Goats-as-a-service subscription ftw!

Next obvious step would be some kind of goat-friendly muzzle on a few of the goats and a $9.99 "turbo" upcharge that unlocks the muzzles.

Edit: I think upcharge should instead "unlock up to 8 goat cores"

this was real weird behaviour to encounter as an IC. pre pandemic I ran into a director from another org that I knew from playing MMOs with, had a half hour chat during lunch with some picking of brains for a weird endgame raid strategy and afterward my manager pulled me aside and was like "whats happening is everything ok?? i saw you having a long meeting with a director in another org??"
I didn't realize this was (still?) controversial. You can literally search on Amazon (and other sites) and see they're listed primarily as "Flash Drives". I thought that was long settled!
Or, looking at it the other way, the population is down 98% instead of 99.9%. It's really not that substantial of an error, and yours is a very "programmer talking about ecology" type of response. It's a terrible situation for the species and the outcome is largely the same - extinction within our lifetime - and you are quibbling about petty data concerns within the broader context.

Unfortunately, I don’t like going out and I don’t have any outdoor activities or sports I like. So the only thing I’ve got is ensuring I do some workout at home and keep the rings on my smartwatch closed. This is also a bit easier to find motivation for when you find external/other situations/experiences scary on the health side.

I’d have to travel considerably far to even try any of these. :(

Does dill grow well there or present any issues?
I'm torn on whether to see this as a problem that needs solving by people outside of those communities.

I.e., the libertarian in me wants to let each community make its own choices based on their values, and then live with the resulting pros / cons.

On the other hand, those communities aren't 100% insular from surrounding society. Maybe their lower vaccination rates increase the chances of spreading the virus to outsiders who can't be vaccinated, consume extra healthcare resources, and/or increase the odds of generating a new variant that current vaccines can't stop.

> I understood his point to be that due to the heightened scrutiny given to all questions of discrimination nowadays, any sort of "holistic" evaluation was abandoned in favor of supposedly objective "Spreadsheet Mentality" evaluations.

This is exactly how I read it. Effectively, if you fire someone because you don't think they're doing a good job, you might be accused of racism/sexism/ageism/etc; even if your analysis is completely correct (and, presumably, there was no -ism involved). If you have a spreadsheet (effectively, a paper trail) of their work accomplishments, you're much safer.

This is simply not true.There are highly-used and highly-usable formatters for Python, Elm, Haskell, F♯, etc., all of which are whitespace-sensitive/indentation-dependent languages. "Adjusting indentation" is far from the only thing formatters do, and even things like breaking or wrapping expressions over multiple lines can certainly be done in all of these languages.
A more annoying situation I've encountered more and more frequently is that the AirBNB is not anywhere near the circle it claims to be. Rented a place recently that was a 38 minute drive from the town the listing said it was in. AirBNB not only didn't care, but didn't consider there to be anything wrong with the listing.

Booked a different place in the same "town" and it was a 10 minute drive from where it was supposed to have been. We just accepted it.

I did eventually get a refund on the first one, but only after raising a fit at AirBNB. I think I'll stay at hotels in most cases moving forward.

There are also diminishing marginal returns of optimizing for a certain metric. The first big steps are relatively easy, and produce a good return on the investment, but as you get deeper into the optimization, the costs of getting that next little bit go up. And people are tempted to cheat, and take short cuts to meet the goal.

For example, getting from one nine of uptime to two nines isn't all that hard or expensive (a month of downtime per year to half a week). Getting from three nines to four nines is a lot harder, and a lot more expensive, and if you tie success at the organization to that improvement, people will fudge to reach it.

Nearly every metric is like that. Amount of sales, tail latency, recruiting efficacy.
Stating a fact that it depends on the person, and giving my experience, just as you did, doesn’t mean I’m being inconsiderate or don’t care about it. I don’t understand how you could have come to that completely irrational, ridiculous, conclusion. I have family members who are unable to get vaccinated. I worry about them every day. Touch grass.

> A number of years ago they shipped all of the different products as plugins to intellij. unfortunately at some point that stopped. I wish they resolve it, because it's slowly driving me to vscode.

Did they stop? I still use IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for most languages (Go, Java, Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript). I had to use Rider for C#, AppCode for Swift, and CLion for C/C++, but those are the only special cases afaik, or are those languages the ones you use & have problems with?

The plugin updates are sometimes a bit behind the dedicated IDEs in terms of feature releases which is annoying but I think you can often download an EAP build to get around that.
Dear quantum physicists, when will you stop messing with our minds? Just when we'd warmed up to superpositions over 2^n qubit states, you had to introduce extra time dimensions?

Tbf, the quasi-periodic pulsing explanation is a lot more understandable than the headline had me think. Sounds like the second dimension is just a mathematical interpretation, just like you can reason about which higher-dimensional objects would give rise to a particular 2D pattern if projected onto a plane - it doesn't necessarily mean that the extra dimensions are really there, it just provides us with a new way of thinking about it mathematically (although I wouldn't be surprised if some quantum physicists came round the corner arguing that the second time dimension is actually there, sigh).
About five years ago, I took my kids to a petting zoo with baby animals. I was so struck by how cute baby goats were. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had made fundamentally wrong choices in my life because I didn't have more time with baby goats.

This is my current daydream to own goats (because that's probably the best way to get consistent access to baby goats). I was specifically looking at the breed of Nigerian dwarf goats. There would be cheesemaking, vegetation clearing, and current dreams also include an apiary.

Ahhhh.... goats.

I had a single milkweed potted plant on my roof. Within a day I saw a monarch on it. Within a few weeks I had about 20 caterpillars devour it. Within a few more weeks, I counted 16 chrysalises around my patio, of which 13 flew away successfully. Pretty amazing.

Strange, the article specifically mentions urban development. Where is the disconnect?

“by between 22% and 72% over the past decade. Legal and illegal logging and deforestation to make space for agriculture and urban development has already destroyed substantial areas of the butterflies’ winter shelter in Mexico and California, while pesticides and herbicides used in intensive agriculture across the range kill butterflies and milkweed, the host plant that the larvae of the monarch butterfly feed on.”

The population of Mexico has doubled since 1980 and the US has gone from 227 million to 340 million people

Usually I go with "USB drive", but it's not one of the options so I upvoted "USB flash drive".

"Sneakernet" is a related term I sadly only heard in an era when most PC's are networked. "How are you transferring the files?" "Sneakernet." (Walking floppies or a USB drive across a room.)
In my naive understanding, instead of modern SIMD type execution they were using some form of token passing between cores to execute instructions async. That made programming such multicore APUs pretty hard for the programmer. They had a SDK for mitigating some of these pain points. I could be somewhat wrong on the specifics (and the fact I last touched any architecture related topic about a decade ago).Please correct me if I am wrong.

Facebook is going to work better than twitter for direct response just be sheer volume, even though developers are less likely to use FB than the average person.

Generally to target working developers you want to let them know your free trial exists so they can poke around in it. To market to the bosses you use gated content.
But that's saying that if you have something repeating in the same way along the X axis, you have two spacial dimensions. That's not the way most of us use "dimensions". (The math may work out for their usage to not be nonsense, but it's considerably less than a "real" extra time dimension.)
