That's how sampling works, not everybody writing Java, Go, or whatever else is filling out surveys, either. I know I haven't.

I haven't looked recently, are there a lot of remote positions for US employees writing PHP for $200k+ base plus bonuses?

I'm not even talking about the crazy-high comp from FAANG companies here, just Principal developer roles paying more than $200k base, with bonuses as well.

My anecdote and your anecdote combined don't make data, of course, but I know my comp climbed pretty dramatically when I left PHP behind.
Postural training with a specialized doctor (ie a physiotherapist, don't go to personal trainers or anyone else without a medical degree in the field) then repeating the exercises by myself reduced my back pains and the painkiller consumption to zero. Now I take them occasionally only for other problems mostly related to age, weight, other health related issues (Haglund), and a motorcycle accident I had in 2020.
In my situation, I learned to stretch my spine without thinking when walking, riding the motorcycle, or even sitting. Keeping the correct posture is so important, and often overlooked, but at least in my case was all i had to do to change everything. YMMV of course.
Total Commander is the best commander.
The frustrating part is that the unintended consequences of GDPR were inevitable and clearly foreseeable, yet it was passed into law anyway and now it's incredibly difficult (if not practically impossible) to fix through iterative adjustment. It often seems like politicians and bureaucrats are incapable of seeing the myriad ways their well-intended rules will fail in the real-world. Maybe all legislation should first have to pass an "Unintended Consequences Analysis" review.

Meanwhile, GDPR is yet another disruptive annoyance to users, a burden on overworked, under-funded website teams and isn't delivering the benefits promised.

Somewhat unrelated, but I'm still wondering why there still appears to be not much of a push for strong GUI filemanager + terminal integration. I know Dolphin has it, but it feels not quite there.
Well said! I do a lot of my work over SSH or Mosh with tmux to remote servers. Projects like Textualize fulfill a real need here. Another cool hack: using a terminal backend for matplotlib to get inline plots while working via SSH/Mosh.
It's absolutely insane that they are so ineffective. Major phone networks should be held responsible. I've been getting texts like crazy from spammer tries to get me to click their links. The messages are 100% identical and would be trivial to block.
My bank (comdirect in Germany) fortunately has an okay mobile-friendly website and sells a tiny hardware device to generate the "TAN" for their weird proprietary way to secure transactions.
Honestly, if we are talking pie in the sky, I'd say pile people up along the coast. Specifically in LA, if you had fewer people in Riverside with lawns + AC and more people in Santa Monica with year round good weather then the quality of life would be better and environmental impact would be lower.

Do I think it will happen? Not quite.
This sort of thinking can unlock up to roughly a factor of two in a lot of architectures and a lot of operations (depending on cache friendliness, instruction decoding, and other such things that might interfere with apparent wins).

Classic example: Intel Haswell chips can only do addition on one of their execution units, so you double your throughput by doing a fused multiply-add on the other with a multiplicand of 1.

Classic example: For large enough matrix multiplications you can load your data in such a way that the problem really is CPU-bound, even if you have to load from disk. Double up your data size with an integer representation of the matrix and do some integer-backed emulated floating point instructions for a chunk of the matrix and floating point for the other. You reduce the factor in the O(n^(2.7..3)) and add some extra O(n^2) work and some extra space (assuming you don't waste too many instructions on full IEEE compliance and don't need it for that application).

And so on. It's a fun trick, and often the compiler isn't able to execute it effectively. The same idea applies with all but the most trivial loops; until recently (last 10 years or so?), gcc wouldn't interleave cumulative sums to reduce the data dependencies (just keep 4 running totals instead of 1, skip by 4 each loop, and merge the sums and any stragglers at the end -- distinct from loop unrolling in that the major gain is from better pipelining rather than just reduced loop overhead -- it still works with vectorized accumulators). Not that it matters if you're IO-bound (which you often are on that sort of problem), but for mediumish datasets the idea still applies.
Have a look at the datasets library [1], but as a shortcut, you can just create a file named "my_code.json" in jsonlines format with one line per source file that looks like:

{"text": "contents_of_source_file_1"}
{"text": "contents_of_source_file_2"}
...

And then pass that my_code.json as the dataset name.

One place I worked, there was an architecture. The intent was that every programmer on the project could reproduce the same diagram of the architecture on a cocktail napkin. The reason is so that all programmers can keep the architecture in their head, to help guide their work. If they have to go look it up, they probably won't.

To make this work, the architecture needs to be somewhat simple. Architecture astronautics fail the "everyone can keep it in their head" test.

I think they stole that idea (everybody has the architecture in their head) from Extreme Programming.
The reason why intermittent fasting works is that it is associated with increased oxidation of fatty acids (lipolysis) and ketone body formation (ketogenesis), activated cell-signaling pathways (insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, autophagy), and preservation of lean body mass, known as “metabolic switching”.

The interesting fact however is that typically, these mechanisms are not fully activated until at least 24 hours of fasting.

Well, this sounds to me like they know it has an effect but they don't actually know the full story on why it works.

I would drink water for 5 days. It's not too difficult. The hardest part is the boredom. I'm quickly reminded how much of my life revolves around food. Farmers market, grocery shopping, happy hours, cooking dinner, work lunches, events, etc. You suddenly have all this free time. For me, I just play a lot of golf to take my mind off of it.

If you want an easy version, look up fast mimicking diet by Dr. Longo. Prolon sells premade kits.
I would say rather than artificially make yourself less productive, you (talking about anyone, including me) should understand your limits, then keep a healthy margin of slack between your average daily effort (ADE) and those limits. This ADE (i.e. after cutting some slack) is what I would call your real productivity, since it's sustainable.

IMO, always working close to your limit will surely lead to burnout. Not sustainable, and means you'll be less productive on the long run, thua it's not real productivity. This "extra effort reservoir" should only be tapped into when absolutely necessary (say, Critical issue with production)

That said, if your limits are already very high, it means your productivity and output on 80% efficiency is already high, and I see no reason to artificially reduce your output any further.

I read an article long ago about the importance of slack for any workers, I think it's this one [1] though I'm not sure.

Never said "you are going to be unemployed in 5 years". Never said anything about a job apocalypse. I have no idea what role humans will play.

> Your assertions are full of wild assumptions backed by nothing.

I use Copilot, you admitted it currently saves you 2-3% of time. Well, that's just Copilot, you think Microsoft will just sit on that? My assertions are based on what is happening today and extrapolating an exponential increase in that performance for tomorrow.

Digital cameras definitely revolutionized photography and made it much more accessible to regular folks. Not everyone wants to be a pro photographer though, and the number of wedding shoots available has not changed. People still need to be paid to take photos because no one is going to do that for free. However, we can all take pro level photos with much more ease than when all we had was 110 and 35mm film with a really crappy lens.

There are more "photographers" than ever, the same number of pro photographers seems reasonable given the burden of people's time to money ratio. So the net result is billions more family and friends photos which previously were not taken, the same will go for art. I want to create art, but I have little skill, but given the opportunity to make a comic strip just by talking to an AI will allow me to do so. I imagine some people will do this extremely well as a profession until it's no longer useful.

I don't know, I understand why you are being dismissive and playing down my wide eyes, but I think you are also wrong and remaining uninterested because it's too "religious" to speculate wild things in light of wild real world changes is head in sand territory.
It's a least common denominator thing: there a places where you can easily run a terminal app but not a browser/electron, which are probably the next level up in the portability/fidelity tradeoff.
If it were any one other than the government doing it the lottery would be illegal.

And in fact it is illegal for anyone other than the government to run a lottery.

in a sarcastic tone I like the lottery, it is a tax on the stupid.
Why don’t more languages offer a zero allocation way to view a HashMap K V as a HashSet K.
"Resort fees" are a thing but in my experience you don't see them a lot outside of what are plausibly actual resorts, i.e. typical hotel chains don't usually have them. Of course, there are always lots of taxes that get tacked on. Especially pre-pandemic, I booked lots of hotels. (AirBnB also has cleaning fees etc. although what little I've used AirBnB they seem to be pretty prominently displayed.)
This isn't a meme stock. It's unfair to call it that. This arrived on peoples radars really late. r/WallStreetBets isn't some hidden corner of the internet, you can visit it right now. They're just as caught out as the rest of us.

My own company (https://feetr.io) started registering mentions of it a day after the IPO, but impressions (the term we use for the reach of posts) were never very high.

If we look at the extent of the push behind GME during Jan 2021, we can see that the entire internet was involved. There was memes all over the place, Reddit was flooded with it, there were billboards and sky writing, all of that sustained over how many weeks? Not once did it approach the market cap that we're seeing with HKD.

Internet retail investors just do not have the money to be able to do this.
From what I'm hearing from friends that work inside Ford, the dealers have burned all their bridges. Ford is sick of their crap and is working to move to direct customer sales (their electric vehicles I believe have already made steps towards this).
I appreciate the level headed reply. And I admit that that’s a very solid justification.

My life’s crumbling, and I’m sure that has at least a little bit to do with the lack of kindness.

I have a therapy appointment later this evening, and maybe that’ll do something. Money didn’t change a damn thing either. I’ll just bow out and let the world go.

Thank you for speaking to me directly. I hope you have a nice week, and life.
Yeah, you will recover. Be kind to yourself. The time you spend worrying about stuff you can't change, is better spent working on stuff.
It's interesting to see the "decline" of secondary file managers on Windows and probably Linux systems, too. Back in the days, pretty much any "power user" had their own favorite replacement for the built-in stop gap solution. Quite often one of the commanders, but I've seen other preferences. There was a pretty huge market of shareware (or open source on linux) for this. Next to image viewers probably one of the most common third party tools.

I rarely see that these days, both from regular users and my fellow software developers. Is it because file usage in general has declined? Generally mabye, but not in that target demographic.

Is it because the system apps have gotten better? Maaaybe. I personally wouldn't consider the Win 11 explorer to be that more usable than winfile.exe, but people have different thresholds.

Personally, I'd even make the argument that they've become worse at times and that they're not even in the same niche, i.e. a "file system interface", probably spatial and a more abstracted powerful file manager could and should co-exist.
Hopefully the file selection dialogue then isn't totally unrelated from a UI point of view.
How far did you get?

In my experience, the first day is by far the most difficult. I find that it's most effective to start fasting on days where I am going to be occupied with something, since I don't think about food when I'm active.

I'd be miserable if I attempted to fast on a day where I was lounging around watching TV.
Your first sentence is wildly and dangerously misguided. Yes, it's slow and difficult but it's also the reason we have underappreciated institutions like the FDA.
1700kcals/day is already in diet territory for an overweight male, honestly.

I think that the logic of giving even less to those fasting is pretty obvious that it would lead to more weight loss.

You can read the full study here, but it seems to confirm a caloric defecit on the IF2 and IF group vs control.

https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s1293...

...

IF1-P, 9058±692 kcals/week vs.

IF2-P, 8389±438 kcals/week

A proper methodology would be to have all 3 groups consume the same 7-day baseline diet for 2 weeks, then switch into the IF groups and monitor increases in rate-of-change for body weight vs net body weight difference before/after. There should also be similar caloric input for all groups before and after program to see if there is actually an additional benefit to intermittent fasting vs caloric input reduction.

Under my own personal belief system, I don't agree with this sentiment. Sure, you might obtain the immediate but you're kind of poisoning the well with an announcement of expected departure.

I take it as a rule to not ever mention that you're leaving somewhere until you're leaving and then follow through.
Why is it “supposed” to work that way?

American society is structured such that a car is considered more or less a requirement. Is it okay to charge the max people will possibly pay for other requirements of living like medicine? Martin Shkreli Was universally loathed for that.

Dealers aren’t supposed to charge extreme markups any more Than they are supposed to give cars away for free. They do it because right now they can, but that doesn’t make it moral or American. It is just greed, which is often waived off as “how capitalism is supposed to work”. It’s just greedy usury because they can get away with it.
Worth noting: the concept of "energy" was controversial for a very long time.

It is unfortunate that the cellular companies have allowed their core product (voice calls) to be so devalued that they need to be forced to solve this problem instead of just doing it naturally.

The carriers are clearly customer-hostile, as this is really a very solvable problem. Instead, we now are moving to alternate mechanisms to manage audio calls (eg: Signal, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc.). My wide-open Verizon cell-phone number is my least preferred method of contact by far, due to the fact that I cannot trust that unknown numbers are high-value incoming calls.
is there any evidence that the pivots actually "kill the golden goose"? facebook has a long history of making product changes that initially cause a lot of complaining from existing users.

they seem to be making a bet that existing users are addicted enough to the product that a change to it won't drive them away. and so far that seems to have worked for them.
It was sort of a surprise that computers do -y when I first learned basic, but it really wasn’t an issue.

Maybe advanced graphics, e.g. rotation matrix, will be more confusing later, but at this point you’re not a beginner and can always incorporate a mirroring matrix into your stack.

Note also that almost all editors and guis also use top=0 (except AppKit, where it is configurable non-default).

Yes, but it's a kind of graph that the user can generate from zero without needing friends or following anyone. It's not social from the user's POV.

For sure, seeing the different TDPs listed makes me wonder what the performance scaling looks like. Nvidia's prior attempts at making low-power ARM SOCs turned out really well, so it's great to see them finally capitalize on the success of their Tegra/Jetson product lines. I can't help but wonder how far their APU package has evolved since the Tegra X1, since the X2 refresh didn't really give us much to work with...
This is the sadder but true point that we have too many people and many are stuck doing nonsense and scam work to try to feed their family.

GraphQL is a layer in front of SQL.

I can write a Graphql endpoint in python (Using Django-Graphene). I can write python functions that return data to the graphql. I can write ORM queries that write data to grapqhl. I can specify access, permissions and certain queries based on the user.

Graphql is more of a relational FFI than a SQL replacement.

Also the frontend never sends SQL to get data because it is unsafe. This is what a GraphQL framework allows you to do, clean up and filter queries so they are safe and then translate them into efficient lookups in a RDBMS.

Ahh yeah, argon filled windows. I think those leak about 1% of their argon each year so eventually it's all gone anyways.

The efficiency thing is always interesting to me. The way I see it, quality weather stripping (integrated if possible) and storm windows should get you pretty close to a modern windows. I figure you'll never make back the savings with new windows VS old windows that have been updated to be more efficient. Especially since the majority of your energy bill is not due to heat/AC leaving through your windows.

You can easily get year-long visas to Australia and New Zealand if you're young enough and from an "approved" country (look for working holliday visa).

I think countries like Thailand and Indonesia (Bali) also allow foreigners to stay quite a generous amount of time... South America is also an option for up to 6 months, I believe, without much hassle... if you fancy China, they also have not-so-difficult-to-get student visas from what I've seen (lots of Europeans were going to study there for some reason when I was a "traveller" myself, around a decade ago... and it can be to study silly things like dance or a language, nothing too serious) so that's pretty much most of the world already?
This might sound a little abstract, but the government can nullify bodily autonomy legally in some cases, namely:

Circumcision: The skin of the penis in male babies can be taken from us with out our consent.

Conscription: Think about drafted war veterans who have lost limbs and such. They should have had the autonomy to keep those body parts, however they were forced to sacrifice them for the sake of the state (think about how we say soldiers give their lives, for their country.)

> It's simple, much of Europe has already figured this out. Pay PhD students appropriately, and give them full benefits.

The EU is in many ways worse. You have the same problem except that your PhD is worth much less.

PhD students in the EU make less than students in the US! And virtually all of them in the US get full benefits.

You just said good salary, and listed University of Amsterdam as offering 27900-35000 per year.

At UNC, minimums are: bio $33k, chemistry $28k, CS $25k. And North Carolina is far cheaper than Amsterdam.

PhDs in the EU live often in much more expensive areas and make less than PhD students in the US.
