NeoVim + language servers + global search with rg + a bunch of keyboard shortcuts:

- <spc>gd = go to definition

- <spc>gr = open a hovering window filled with references to symbol

This is enough to get through every codebase I've yet encountered (Go, Typescript, Python, Java, C++). I also like to use <C-I> and <C-O> in vim which allows you to jump between the most recently viewed locations.

For keeping context, I just write everything down! Either in a scratch file or on a digital notetaking app on my iPad.
In my experience, it's inferior in every way, perhaps because they have no accountability the same way a standalone restaurant has. For example, a pizza place near me opened multiple ghost kitchens, including a Saladworks and Guy Fieri's Flavortown.

There's no Saladworks if you visit their address, just the pizza place. They offer the same menu as Saladworks, the chain of fast service salad shops, but don't have the same supplier or training or equipment as a Saladworks. This pizza place just attempts to recreate the same salads using inferior ingredients, pizza toppings, generic dressings, and generic plastic takeout containers. The result doesn't taste like a Saladworks salad and is smaller than a Saladworks salad. I've tried it twice and neither recreation of Saladworks was faithful, missing ingredients both times, with a different lettuce mix than Saladworks uses, etc.

There's no Guy Fieri restaurant if you visit their address either. The food from this brand of the ghost kitchen is just inedible. It has 5 reviews on Yelp locally so far, and all are one star. They're microwaving burgers, sending out raw pasta, sending out easy mac with pizza toppings as a fancy loaded mac & cheese, using the same generic plastic takeout containers they do for Saladworks.

And yet at least they have a brand to burn. What I was actually frustrated with in my comment a few levels up is the places that list their own menu, sliced and diced in different ways, under 20+ different names. If someone complains about the quality of "Simply Crepes", they can just remove that listing, since those crepes are also available under "Morning Times Cafe", "Morning Breakfast Sandwich Bar", "The Daily Fare", "The Coffee Creperey", etc.
From what I hear, this is common behavior for partners at law firms (i.e. the folks that own the client relationship, much like the CEO owns the decisions made), and it's absolutely bizarre.

Monopoly on what?

There are not thousands of bakeries in any city. Many towns might have none, or one. In that regard, the bakery will have an actual monopoly on baked goods to people living there.
This is a perhaps rare case where some folks with bad financial behaviors ruin it for everyone. Someone making minimum wage buying Supreme, IPhones, etc...who cares. Doesn't affect anyone else, really.

But here you have people being irresponsible with what they're willing to spend on rent. And in doing so, force everyone else to also be irresponsible, else be left homeless. It feels like a giant jenga tower just waiting to collapse...

The business idea behind the salary cap is to make budgeting more predictable. If the budget is $X and you need a staff of Y, your salary cap of $X/Y makes it easier to manage... in theory.

In reality, if $X/Y is low, then you can't find anyone who will work at that rate and you either have to cut back services or outsource (which is often in a different budget - see traveling nurses).

It is the opposite of what should be done, but if you're trying to fit things into a fixed budget then it is what must be done. The way to fix it is to get the budget to expand up to what is needed to supply services. That is a difficult sell in the public sector.
Seems to me it's pretty simple

Property prices basically doubled over the last 2 years, but rental prices have yet to catch up.

Unless you assume housing prices are going to crash, and I don't think there's any serious expectation that's going to happen, it seems pretty safe to assume rental costs will take a nearly identical trajectory
How about.. increasing the property tax rate exponentially with the number of properties held. Few people are arguing that a mom-pop rental business needs to be shut down. These conglomerates with > 10,000 properties are the serious problem, even the data from the article points this out clearly.
"When I go shopping, or even to my doctor now, I leave my phone in my car."

I don't blame you, I go one step further, I use a rooted deGoogled phone with location defaulted to off and all apps with few exceptions such as browsers are specifically denied access to the internet. Even then I use multiple browsers for different jobs/sites with JavaScript defaulted to off. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention the phone's VPN-type firewall.

When I go shopping I mostly use cash even for large purchases say up to $1k or so (I'll actively go to an auto teller and withdraw cash first rather than use my cards). I keep online purchases to an absolute minimum and when I do I make them with 'corporate' type cards.

I don't see this as paranoia, rather it's common sense. Anyone, who runs a logcat log-displaying program on a rooted smartphone without additional privacy protection steps being taken is astounded - in fact horrified - at the amount information that's being stolen from one. The log entries flash past in their thousands much faster than it's possible for anyone to ever read them.

I've little to hide and my lifestyle is really pretty boring and ordinary but I'm absolutely affronted how this situation developed without proper laws being in place or enacted (not long ago the privacy of telephone circuits was considered sacrosanct and laws rigorously protected us from being monitored).

In the grand scheme of things I recognize that my efforts are pretty futile but at least I gain some satisfaction in trying to combat the bastards.

I don't quite understand why the general attitude of the population to maintaining one's privacy has considerably lessened in recent decades, and similarly why existing privacy laws are not being upheld as they once were.
Certainly it does, but one can guarantee more than 30min wait time at some emergency rooms coming up as they are closing outright due to staffing issues.

One solution is to force depreciating by selling “leases” to land rather than land.

Cities could roll out such a policy directly when making unused land available or other activities.
Don't intend to pick a fight either, but Python seems to be more liked by people who aren't primarily developers (researchers and academics, but also other technical figures like sysadmins, data scientists, analysts, etc.) probably because Python's advantages are very obvious and Python's downsides only start to become apparent to more experienced users. An alternative reason could be that it's starting to get traction as a "CS 101 language", where those classes would have used Java before (or C before that); more people have heard of Python than they have heard of, say Go or Rust.

Obviously both professional developers and "not primarily developers" generally like and use Python. I meant this as a comparison rather than "developers don't use Python".

FAANGs, I really don't know, but I would find it odd if they didn't use Python to at least some extent.
I would just remember some keywords in either code or the file name and do global search, I barely use splits though bc I think it’s kinda distracting.

This is 100% incorrect.

Mushrooms aren’t “real food”?

Yes it’s processed with some additions, but so is a meat sausage.

Talking more broadly, not about OP. It seems a lot of people have this cognitive dissonance (I don’t know what to call it exactly) about what food is, maybe from their upbringing or religious beliefs or just society.

I’ve spoken to people that are like “I don’t like any vegetarian food”… and I’m like… so you don’t eat fries? (Oh uh I guess 90% of what I eat is already vegetarian… mmhmm)

Then if you dare get on to the topic of animal protein people are EXTREMELY conflicted in their views… if you eat a cow why not eat a horse? why not eat a dog, why not eat a monkey… oh hang on this is getting a bit close to eating humans… hang on are animals real feeling thinking creatures that while tasty also have some other properties maybe I haven’t considered before?

Hmm
> if work is obvious, someone has already done the work for you

I wish that was true. A lot of work is obvious but undone. A lot of issues go unresolved or are chalked up as "unimportant". Let me use your product for five minutes and I will give you the work that needs to be done.
Something that bothers me is that this subtly breaks many UI conventions of the browsers. For example, when I hover the mouse over a text it doesn't change the cursor to text edit, it stays in the regular cursor. When I select text it doesn't happen exactly like in the browser - in the browser, text selection can begin by dragging the mouse outside a text element, with jpro it must begin with the mouse inside a text element

Also it looks like you made your own scrollbar instead of using the browser scrollbar. And scrolling is very slow here (I hope/suppose it isn't fetching anything from the web while scrolling)

[ edit: scrolling is slow in https://www.jfx-central.com/home (the site with custom scrollbar) but not in https://www.jpro.one/ (which uses the regular browser scrollbar), so.. maybe they are running different versions of jpro? ]

Are you really reimplementing many core browser functionalities in jpro? .. but why??? This seems very annoying to interact with! In a native application outside the browser we may have an expectation that it doesn't behave exactly the same, but the selling point of the web is that its interfaces converge. If every site reimplemented text selection in mildly different ways, it would harshly degrade the UX of the web (I recognize that some web apps sometimes do this, and also other frameworks like Flutter do even worse, but still, it's a concerning trend)

Somehow jpro feels like old flash websites that reimplement their own UI (or java applets) even though it doesn't use plugins

Sorry for the harsh criticism but I had to let it out
I still use my 2007 720p 42" Panasonic plasma in my office and my 2012 1080p 3D 50" Panasonic plasma in my living room. I'll probably upgrade this year to an 2022 4K 65" LG OLED, but I still really love both of them.
As annoying as it can be for individuals, companies have a limited amount of resources that they can dedicate to ensuring compliance with IT security policies. Browsers in particular, since they run arbitrary code, require dedicated policies. Keeping track of vulnerabilities and making sure that all users are running the approved versions takes time and effort. On the other hand, failing to demonstrate compliance (e.g. during regular audits) can have significant consequences.

My advice: if as part of your role you have business requirements that can only be met with Firefox (like ensuring browser compatibility), then ask your manager to put together an exception request, with a compliance plan (e.g. running Firefox on a sandboxed cloud instance).

If you don't NEED Firefox, but WANT it (e.g. based on personal preferences or individual productivity), it will be hard to make a case for it considering that any productivity gain will be offset by increased compliance costs.

I do not advise circumventing company policy since that puts the company itself in jeopardy by potentially being out of compliance with its security policies.
It’s 100% true though:

He was ineffective at keeping quiet about security problems to governance parties, and performed poorly at persuading peers not reporting to him to fix things they weren’t incentivized on.
It would be interesting to see the "investors" segmented by assets under management (AUM). I'm sure some "investors" are mom and pop rental situations while other institutions, such as BlackRock, are purchasing single-family homes at scale.

I'll also be curious to see what happens when remodels need to happen. Many trade labor markets are hyper localized and difficult to scale across a property portfolio, this is where RedFin and Zillow struggled to "flip" effectively.

This is going to hit low income retirees very, very hard.
A high level of land value tax.

If the family home you aspire to wasn't also climbing in price, you wouldn't need to sell your starter home at a profit.
I think Canada can match England in this area. It is borderline criminal what happens here in some cases.
Canada has one of (if not the) lowest housing stocks per population in the developed world. BC and Ontario are on the lower end of all the provinces in this regard as well, which is a major problem when you count how much our population is growing and the fact that the majority of that growth ends up in the VAN/TOR greater metros.

https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/about/economics/economics-p...

Canada's biggest problem is that we didn't lock out immigration policies to our infrastructure and housing policies. Bringing up that fact though often spirals into someone trying to claim that being concerned about the policies makes you a racist or anti-immigration which is nonsense.
Irony is an intellectual concept. These fundies aren't operating from an intellectual point of view. They're simply regurgitating lines that they've been fed from the pulpit and right-wing media, and they're stoked up on tribalism -- the idea that their tribe is right, other tribes are wrong, and they need to fight to force other tribes to see things their way.
Yeah, it's a sad reality. Thankfully the market is good enough that we have the chance to choose a job where we can make these decisions ourselves and live up to a higher standard.
yes, describing the serfdom as "self-employment" reminds how some in US describe the slaves brought here back then as "immigrants" or "labor migrants".

1. Got a meaningless certificate. Also expanded his "wildly successful business leaders" network.

4. Had a meeting.

5. Wrote strategy doccies.

6. Mentoring. (1 out of 7 isn't bad.)

7. Had a meeting about advertising copy.

Yeah - comparing mudge's history with the email the Twitter CEO sent to internal employees and the situation seems crazy? Always hard to know from the outside, but this paired with Jack leaving seemingly frustrated with the board looks really bad.

I know people have thought Twitter was mismanaged for a while, but seems like it's a lot worse than I thought it was (and the CEO seems more vindictively bad than I would have guessed).

Plus the total lack of principles around speech and just doing whatever Russia, India, or KSA wants? Including hiring foreign agents? Also covering up bad security issues in reporting? It'll be interesting to see what happens from here as more comes out.

Here in the US I had stage III cancer. I was receiving full blown cancer treatment(s) less than a week after I went to the ER with symptoms (chest port + three types of chemo drugs). And that's routine. The US health care failures are mostly the fault of administrators and insurance companies gaming the public. The care is fast + extensive and it's not a cesspool.

And the "full hospital" meme isn't entirely accurate. The US hospital wards are -- by design -- supposed to be full. If 100 beds are allocated for severe flu cases (example) but there's only 25 patients they'll shift the flu ward to 35. Thus they achieve a 75% capacity for the flu beds and allocate the additional beds to other sections. Sometimes the American media (sensationalist by design) will report this as "OH MY GOD THE FLU WARD IS NEAR CAPACITY. 75% FULL!!" without reporting total beds vs flu beds.
Yup. A big thing in past decades was energy independence. The US actually achieved it but it didn't get the attention that griping about not having it got.

This is a simulation showing how Australia could meet its electricity demands using a large amount of additional renewable capacity.

Unfortunately the Australian electricity generation mix as of 2020 is made up of 54% coal and 20% and just 24% renewables [1]. Renewable capacity is increasing but at the current pace 90+% renewable generation is not likely to be achieved within the next 20 years.

You can check the live generation mix on electricitymap [2].

> I have to rain on your parade but there are many aspects of life in India that money cannot solve. I am no fan of the USA either but the "gun culture" thing is a strawman that doesn't affect daily life in the cities. It is certainly a problem but not a problem that many make it out to be. Be careful with the healthcare argument too. India's legal and police systems are a joke and their healthcare system is cheap but kills millions every year due to medical negligence. The US healthcare system - for all its flaws - has some of the best outcomes provided you have enough money to access it.

I think its interesting that you manage to both minimize the impact of firearms in the US and ding the healthcare system of India in the same comment.

I have to disagree with both. Guns are a constant threat, even in the bluest of cities since there are Red States just a few hours of drive away (if you're not already a Blue City in a Red State which is extremely common). The threat of school shooting is very real. Kids have to go through bs "active shooter drills"... this is not the sign of a healthy society.

Indian healthcare system certainly has flaws but it manages to provide basic healthcare to all citizens. There are lots of fantastic doctors trained every year in India.

The legal and police systems, I buy that argument. The mainstream media, totally under the control of the authoritarian right wing Government. Modi. Those are legit criticisms.
I think Brexit has allowed a sort of nihilism to creep into U.K. politics. If you can live with a policy that has such a demonstrable adverse effect on the economy and so many other things then why worry about the impact of other policies.

The standard approach for the government now seems to be to look for short term wins in the tabloids and ignore the long term.

And this is on top of the huge distraction that Brexit has been.
A couple of things:

Tories have done well to court the people that show up at the polls with things like keeping the Triple-Lock pension guarantee[1].

Like the Democrats, Labour's demographics have started to shift more to the well-educated (though I suspect this will swing back massively, come the next election). This alienated their traditional working class base who care more about their own economic realities than whatever social crusade is the flavour of the week.

Young Labour went out of their way to paint pro-Brexiters as racists and bigots. The dirty secret is that even Corbyn has been a long time Euro-sceptic. Because of the in-fighting on the correct position, Labour didn't take a hard stance on Brexit until very close to the end, IIRC. At which point, anti-Brexit votes were being siphoned off by the Liberal Democrats, with pro-Brexit votes going to the Tories.
