You're not kidding. Doing state-by-state battle over jurisdiction and the right of each state to create its own laws would be ... interesting. I'd expect it to be very destructive overall. Not saying it would necessarily lead to an end of the union, but it's a step.

Seems to be a pattern, lately, and specific to abortion as well. The ends justifying the means, regardless of collateral damage.
It's oh so hard to relate a conversation you were involved in in a manner that's transparent enough for making a proper assessment, especially since I know I am actually missing a lot of subtext.

That said, I have a coach that helps me with this, and I work on my writing a lot. I am currently at a job where I never run into this particular problem, yet I have thorny discussions with lots of "disagreements" all the time. This really helped me understand that it's not just me.
Systems languages (those usable in a "freestanding" environment with no OS or other runtime) are usually only about as complex as the underlying system. I'm thinking of languages like C (without the bits of libc that allocate), Rust (in `#![no_std]` mode), FORTH, and assembly.

TypeScript is far more complex but that complexity is hidden from the user. A garbage collector is an extremely powerful abstraction, and makes a language much easier to use for tasks that don't need to deal with memory management in a precise manner. The problem is that systems languages (as opposed to applications languages like Java, Go, or Typescript) are used precisely where you need to deal with memory management in a precise manner.
From the New York Times article you linked to:

"But experts on inflation say the changes to calculations over the years have made the reported rate a more accurate snapshot of how much prices are rising for shoppers. The rate under a different methodology might be higher, they say, but the effect would be small, and the alternative number would do a poorer job of reflecting the costs consumers were grappling with."
Now you have an email that's useless when offline :(

The ancient way would be, just embedding the spreadsheet in the email, which can be done because html is supported, and then accepting some replies, like "LGTM" to approve right away, or "you need to adjust X" as the review comments.

Although there's problems beyond just being able to handle the email response.

Today is that email is insecure. There's a big push for e2e encryption on instant messaging, but not on email, even while it faces the same problem of privacy not being a default.

And a bigger problem in my mind is that people working on wealthier countries probably have had almost permanent internet access while working for the last 10yr. This might make offline a non-goal for most products/services.

The biggest win from using email today might be how well it works asynchronously.
Google is unlikely to abandon an opportunity to surveil users 100% of the time.
You're talking about references. The OP and I are talking about pointers.

TypeScript does not have pointers. Python technically does (`ctypes`), but 99.99% of Python code will never touch them.

There are important differences between pointers and references, for example the ability to perform arithmetic on them.

Paywall so can't read but can share personal experience as I work in a hedge fund myself: 99.9% of hedge funds do not currently touch crypto through their official investment vehicle as it is simply too complicated and costly from an operational standpoint. Only really big players(talking 500m+ AUM) and crypto only funds actually have an official set up.

Multiple banks simply refuse to have custodian accounts and will offboard you if they see money coming from a crypto exchange(too much KYC). I checked 6 months ago last, but PWC did not offer crypto auditing services at all, so if you are audited by PWC you would need to switch. Setting up any sort of reasonable operational infrastructure (cold storage solutions, access) was completely impossible 6 months ago, now places like Copper would probably kill to have your business.

From personal experience any actual crypto exposure that was taken on in small-medium hedge funds was by literally having a trader set up a private account and just message the exchange and try to convince them to get access to institutional products, if they even wanted that sort of leverage. It used to be that much of a hassle operationally.

I haven't fully priced it out yet, but Wegmans is middle of the road in terms of pricing for my area, depending on the item. Depends on what I'm buying week to week.

We have discount grocers nearby that sell a crap-shoot of stuff the bigger stores are trying to get rid of. If going there before heading to Wegmans can save me $50-100/month after gas, for maybe an extra 30 minutes - 1 hour of time, would be worth it these days.

Linux gives you more control, but it's a far cry from a CP/M or DOS environment. For one thing, those computing systems were much simpler, so small changes went a long way. You can still accomplish the same level of control by only using the Linux terminal. To the average user, Linux is just another opinionated, effectively non-modular, effectively source-available stack. Control over your environment is handed over to the collective, instead of a corporation.

About 6 years ago, Google Fiber buried fiber along several streets that surround my South Durham neighborhood, but I couldn't order it until this year. I had it installed in April and it's been excellent.

The day before my installation appointment, Google Fiber called me to let me know there was a problem with the fiber on my street. They said they'd have to reschedule my installation. I was really disappointed about the delay, expecting I'd have to wait until they fixed the problem on the street to even pick a new date, and that it might be several weeks away. But right there on the call they said it should only take a day to fix, and they could do the installation the day after the original date. I was impressed that they would commit to such a quick fix and reschedule right then.

The installation went smoothly. The equipment installer arrived exactly on time, and finished in the one hour that was scheduled. With Spectrum, I was often given a 3-4 hour window for service, and sometimes they were later than that. Makes you block off a half a day just in case.

The speed and latency are always great. The reliability beats Spectrum, which would go down for minutes to hours when power flickered during storms. I don't think my Google Fiber service has been down for a single second.

I think the argument could be read that breaking one law would undermine all other laws as well. But I believe the essence of that dialogue is more that the ends do not justify the means instead of being a refutation of the previous idea.

This is a very minor gripe. For netflix is netflix.com, for hulu it is hulu.com. Why not Prime Video? Amazon even owns primevideo.com but they ask me to manually click on the button to be redirected to the above link.

Median income in 1990 was $50,500. Adjusting for inflation using CPI, that's $102,700 in 2020 money, but median income for 2020 was actually $67,500. Since 2020, this has been kicked into overdrive.

I believe wholesale goods inflation is somewhere near 30% since the pandemic began (inflation numbers look lower because services -- aka wages -- don't increase at the same amount).

The only people immune to inflation are the rich who have hard assets that aren't affected by inflation.

If people really understood how badly they are getting screwed by inflation, there would be riots.
>> There has to be a maximum to the number of people that you can collect into one chamber and conduct a fruitful debate/meeting.

Superbowl attendees are spectators, not participants. The issue isn't collecting together a large number of people in one area, but having all those people participate in a meeting together.
Mortgage payments are composed of: principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Some people may have their HOA dues also bundled in, but most don't. In any case, HOA dues are usually pretty small (like less than $500 per year), unless you live in a condominium or a neighborhood with really expensive stuff owned by the HOA, in which case they can sometimes exceed the other components of the mortgage payment.

Most folks in the United States have fixed rate mortgages. So at the very least, the two largest portions of a person's payment will not go up: principal and interest.

The last two (or three, if you include HOA dues) generally go up over time, especially in places like Texas that use property taxes in lieu of a state income tax. Insurance will go up too, as the actual amount the policies cover (e.g. the cost of replacing the house) rise over time as well.

Is banning a book more civilized than banning a knot?
"Rest and vest" is a phrase that gets bandied about often -- including by people who are trying to do it.

I couldn't tell you what fraction of employees, but there are folks hiding in all of the big tech companies that are happy with their comp, aren't trying to advance, and have adopted the "do the minimum to not get fired" approach to their work.

If too many of these get together in one org or on one team, the whole thing gets poisoned and everyone starts barely getting anything done.
Reread that sentence again, just a little more slowly. If you need to say something false to protect someone's ego, then the person whose ego is in need of protecting is the one who is wrong, and can't acknowledge it without undue risk to their ego. That's a statement of fact, not a command.

Refusing to change is not the same thing as demanding others change. If you can't live in a world where someone does not change their behavior to protect your ego, that's a you problem.
Most the criticisms of the "10x engineer" thing I've seen were more about this expectation that everyone can be 10x, when they're more the exception than the rule. Your average programmer is just that: average.
Gonna shill Time Team for anyone interested in seeing what these villa digs look like. It’s a British archaeology series with a reality TV twist: they bring a big team of professional archaeologists and do as much digging/surveying as they can in three days per site. Twenty one seasons of it, with the vast majority officially available on YouTube - and they’re in the process of a reboot, which has been remarkably successful thus far.

Basically, how Twitter works is, you'll write a bunch of kinda-funny-but-actually-not-really sarcastic tweets disparaging JavaScript and Docker. Some of them will get about a thousand likes/retweets, and at that point the @iamdevloper account will straight up plagiarise what you wrote, pass it off as his own, deny it, and then block your account when you provide proof.

It's that simple.

Exactly right. This is a question that archaeologists are always supposed to ask before digging. If there's a justification for having the answer now (like an immediate research need or a threat to the site), then excavation may proceed. Even then, you excavate as little as you need as nondestructively as possible. Usually that'll be a single trench/pit you excavate with hand tools and re-cover when you're finished.

Most regions have databases full of known sites that are unexcavated because there's never been a justification for digging.

Interesting. They just rolled out in both my neighborhood and my parents' neighborhood. From my experience it seems like more single family homes are getting fiber installed than apartment complexes.

Compared to what it was like when I was working at Walmart...?

Yeah, material gain has certainly made me a thousand times happier. I haven't had to worry about an Electric bill in years. I used to have to navigate and memorize the electric company shutoff routine so I could pay as late as possible while selectively mitigating late fees and disconnect fees in relation to payday.

I can afford to go on vacations now. Take PTO when I want to. When my AC dies I don't have to just suffer until my landlord decides to do something; I can just pay the repair guy $700 to fix it and have AC in a couple hours. Eating healthier is easier; I don't have to stress in social situations about how run down or holey my clothes are. I have the luxury of being able to eat and survive if I am fired allowing me to be more confident in how I carry myself at work. (Meaning I don't have to kiss-ass when I am being mistreated). I have the money to travel if god-forbid my wife needs an abortion, or I can move away from bad neighborhoods very quickly.

The pursuit of wealth in and of itself as a measure of personal worth will not bring happiness, but let's not all pretend that money doesn't bring happiness insofar as it provides individual autonomy over their lives.

I agree with the OPs point that some older people may have just reached a level of material success that grants them the luxury of 1. Processing their existential dread through things like therapy; and 2. Live a less stressful life that comes with a certain level of wealth
In my early teens my Dad said something to the effect of, "If you're so smart... how come nobody likes you?"

Even if.. it depends on the license choice of the author.

The question is, is the code and the documentation published under the same license or can/should/are licenses chosen for both, code and documentation, differently?

And even then, I would expect that, like with gpl, the names of the author(s) should be visible...

So.. if that documentation is "open source", the name of the original author should be visible somewhere.
True, but the market as a whole often responds to these situations.
