He also admits he hasn't written more than a hundred lines of code with it before, and that was 4 years ago, more than half rusts lifetime ago.

My understanding is his priorities are C level control over memory, fast compiles, and ergonomics for the kinds of operations he commonly does.

Rust solves for memory/ergonomics, though the strictness it holds you to is in opposition to what (I understand) he considers ergonomic access & control of memory.

Therefore rust solves ~1 of his priorities, so it's not really a good fit.
To extrapolate that to "doesn't solve the hard problems" is another logic step that I probably don't agree with.

I would consider it favoritism if they were only trying to accommodate the special needs of a certain group, here the religious Jews, perhaps out of deference to religion… which seems to be a point of concern of the op since he goes on about his atheism.

I wouldn’t consider it favoritism if a general rule applied to which groups get special treatment, provided the rule itself did not show favoritism a priori and had reasonable motivation. A la “we want to accommodate as many people as possible but it’s too costly to get a special solution for any group with fewer than X people”.

So… yeah maybe you’re right and the latter applied here. In this case he followed the spirit of the law as a worthy tag along of the explicitly labeled intended recipient group.

Hiring replacements is such a primitive measure, usually done on salary. In reality, OP will have institutional knowledge that will enable them to be more productive than a new replacement. It takes time to build that up and will without a doubt cost much more than a replacement's salary.

It's only irresponsible because of the limited supply. Safety-wise it's fine to take, even if it's basically a placebo for the under-50s. Also the published stats are about hospitalization, we don't seem to have data on other possible benefits such as shortened sickness or reduced long-covid risk. Though I read somewhere that the long-covid research is being done.

This sounds like the kind of measure the EU could pass and enshrine as an example for the rest of the free world.

The idea of specifying "bad actors" is a little suspect but is already how the system works implicitly (and explicitly)... Requiring fair email delivery from standards-compliant businesses with a clear path to escalation at the government level might be amazing.

For all of GDPR's warts and criticisms it's almost surely a net positive for consumers, so maybe this could be another piece of legislation in the same vein.

Of course I'm not so naive (or rather I'm too cynical) to believe that governments are simply doing the bidding of the people, but I don't think I mind them mining this new revenue stream a bit in an enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend kind of way.

A wifi router is not likely going to make a huge difference in your electricity budget. If you want to make a dent the most cost efficient ways are typically replacing lighting with LEDs, and improving the insulation of your house. Heating and cooling typically consumes 30% of your electricity budget.

After that I would take a look at your refrigerator and water heater.
I'll do you one better: at the start of 2020 I went to Switzerland for a contract and during the 2,5 months I stayed there (until COVID pushed me out) I made as much as in the previous year.

Back home I was working remotely in the same role for the typical local rate (well, +10%) until the end of my contract.

I considered moving there but then I learned that permanent employees aren't compensated as well as I was and kindergarten in Switzerland costs around 3k CHF monthly.

Also around here in eastern Europe it's common for a company to hire people at local rates, but charge the (typically US) client their local rates.

Bottom line is: Q4 is approaching - you might want to start looking for new employment now that slow season is nearing to an end.

Just demand 50-100%+ and watch out for those who have obviously huge markups.

With mass adoption of EVs and the further move to solar power, charging during the day is the sensible. Which mostly means chargers at workplaces.

(Not saying we don't need charging close to appartments at all, but workplace charging can alleviate some of it.)
> at all costs

People don’t talk like this in the military. You’re never doing something ‘at all costs’. First you’re always bound by the laws of armed conflict, and second you always want to give yourself the mental option of backing out and achieving your objective another way. The town is a means to another end. If you expend all your resources getting the town and have nothing left for the actual objective then you’ve achieved nothing.

But if you like this kind of problem - it’s the same format as the entrance tests for the British Army https://bootcampmilitaryfitnessinstitute.com/wp-content/uplo... but they do it without the multiple choice.

It isn't really.

The government proposed a consultation on doing so, mostly as a distraction.

I'd eat my hat if anything actually changes, the UK was (partially) metricated over 50 years ago, there's zero appetite for reversing it among people of working age and business concerns will dominate any serious consultation around changing legislation.

Slow-quitter? Do you mean, not giving out your labour for free?

I don’t like that “slow quitting” has become a part of current language trends. It’s a pejorative term for what’s literally just refusing to put in more work than you’re being paid for. Nothing wrong with that.

Solar, wind, carbon burning, nuclear, hydro… a mix. Petro fuel burning won't go away, it will just be a smaller part of the mix.

And there's plenty of capacity at night. And there are batteries, which we can charge with for example solar in the daytime, and then use at night.

Rooftop solar is great because it's near the point of use. All the people wringing their hands about the grid can rest easy, it will be fine. Sure in some climate solar is less available; see above… it can be a mix as appropriate for the place.
The actual WiFi radio signal only uses about 1/10th to 1/30th of the total energy consumption, if you assume that the device as a whole uses around 10W.

I did a stint in management, before I figured out it wasn't for me. In my country that involves getting into university level management courses, networking with other managers and getting a mentor. At least if you're working in an organisation that values its employees. Throughout it all the truest thing I ever learned was from my mentor who was one of the best managers I have ever worked with, and this is a direct quote. "Nobody is irreplaceable, sometimes it's expensive to say goodbye to someone, but nobody is irreplaceable.".

Over the decades this has proven itself to be true so many times. I've been part of big enterprise organisations as well as smaller startups that had some "vital" proces which relied on that one person. When they left however, it didn't really change anything in the big picture, sometimes it let to the entire guts of a company getting ripped out and replaced by something different, but in the big picture it just became another thing to solve.

I think it's a good thing to learn, both as a manager but also as an employee. Because at the big picture, what "irreplaceable" really means is "liability", and that's not a great thing to be at a company.

Good managers will work with you on how to reduce your importance, and great employees will know how to do so themselves. In the world of work, a good work relationship is one where the organisation you work for give you opportunity to grow, and sometimes that means, outgrow the organisation itself. But it goes both ways, and you should try to respect that, even if you're the rockstar employee because it'll make you even more valuable.

Indeed; here it's mandated by law to have a bell on your bike (together with lights and reflectors back and front). I would expect that's the case in many European countries.

There are cheap bells that you mount on the handlebar but they tend to break easily (and don't produce much sound; typically just one ting). Decent bikes have a more sturdy design, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_bicycle#/media/File:Du... (it's on the left, wrapped around the handlebar next to your hand). These tend to produce more sound.
Sure, everything is possible, in theory, in practice it has to be seen specifically.

As said typically heat pumps work around 45-50 °, those that can reach higher temperature do exist, but are not common.

There is a rather nice paper (by Caleffi which produces mostly valves) that is a good intro to the conversion from burner boilers to heat pumps or other lower temperature heating systems:

About 10 Watts or 7-8 kWh per month, give or take.

If you have electric heating, you need heating, you have a thermostat, and the router is located reasonably close to where you need the warmth, it will cost you nothing. If all these conditions are met, the same electricity is producing routing and heating and nothing is wasted.
Replyallcalypse is always fun. I experienced one a few years ago when working at a consulting company with 40k IT consultants. There were thousands of reply-all until the mail servers went down.

I don’t know what to tell you. Even a cursory search makes it clear that power assisted braking is a thing.

> The delta between the wage needed to get & keep the candidate vs. the wage you're actually paying them is essentially a charitable donation here

If you are doing location-based pay, the difference between the wage you are paying in inflated regions and the wage for a similar candidate in the least expensive region from which a candidate is available is a charitable donation.

Location-based pay means systematically overpaying for labor unless you are taking your own location-based pay schedule into account when hiring and preferentially selecting candidates from low xost regions unless the quality of the candidates from the high cost region makes up for it. But that's just a roundabout way to get to the equivalent of location-neutral value-based pay.

I'm surprised no-one in the comments has mentioned MailInABox [0].

On recommendations here, I switched to it 2 or 3 months ago from Gmail, after Google announced they were going to start charging for Gmail on custom domains. I'd no previous experience at all with running my own mailservers and had always been put off by how complicated it seemed.

Even with a non supported configuration setup [running the mailserver for my domain on a separate VPS from the domain itself] MIAB setup was pretty easy. I had it installed and was up and running in no time. I then spent a couple of days setting up the various DMARC MTA-STS policies etc. [most of that time involved looking up what they were and why I needed them!] and [after testing with an unimportant account] migrating the rest of mine and my family's and friends' emails across from Gmail. I was able to import half a dozen accounts from Gmail with about 8GB of emails between them, using ImapSync [1]

So far [fingers crossed] it's been almost painless. Giving the lie to the commonly held belief that running your own mailservers needs constant hands-on maintenance. My MIAB setup runs quite happily on a $5/month Linode [I checked the IP was not on any blacklists, before I started] and the whole thing has been pretty much 'fire and forget'. MIAB sends me weekly reports on what's been happening. Software updates are a one-liner in the terminal and I've had no trouble whatsoever with Google, Microsoft etc. as regards the mail not getting through.

If you've always hankered after running your own mailserver but [as I did] thought it was too difficult and required too much 'hands on' tinkering, I heartily recommend you give MIAB a go.

DISCLAIMER: I run a couple of dozen email addresses on 3 or 4 domains on my MIAB. Probably sending and receiving a few hundred emails a week between them. YMMV if you're a heavier user than this.

Depends on the brand features (like actual/real versus promised/non-built out supercharger network for example).
I agree in general, but there is one exception and that exception applies here: film noir. Johnny Mnemonic and cyberpunk in general derive a lot of its inspiration from film noir and film noir in color just isn't the same.
The "chain" element is completely unnecessary here, since emails do not need to be strictly ordered (as opposed to currency transactions, where order is crucial). So all you need is to consider each e-mail like a standalone block and apply a proof of work to it.

This is not new, by the way. Preventing spam was the original application for PoW way before the blockchain existed. First proposed in 1997 with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash

The downside is that it can be tricky to correctly tune the difficulty factor for a wide variety of e-mail sending hardware with wildly varying computing power available.
As a remote worker I have to disagree. My value is the local value for the employer. I could decide (and recently did) to move countries and it might change taxation and labor laws but for the most part they don't care about where I am situated. What they care about is the speedy resolution of feature requests and trouble tickets.

> Hidden state is not bad.

Exactly

Tiers of information abstraction and interfaces are a very important part of programming.

> it's slightly less convenient to use due to some peculiarities around scopes

The cognitive load of closures and currying is pretty extreme for newer programmers.

I'm sure, given a certain level of experience and ability, people can stare at closures and not blink.

However, I'd be hesitant to use closures in a team of other developers. If you don't have an education in functional programming, a closure definition is quite a lot to dump on folk.

I tend to avoid decorators etc in the majority of my applications where I'm working on a shared codebase with coworkers etc.

All abstractions are a trade-off between "how easy is it for the writer " vs "how easy is it for the reader."

Decorators have a "hurdle" rate of complexity for the writer, and need a sufficient number of readers to justify.

It's more likely you had a bad cold rather than COVID, considering that most of the symptoms are the same. All my friends in Texas say similar things.
Well its you in that you have a preference for colour and that's fine.

Colour has an emotional response of its own - which is why set design, lighting temperatures and colourists are a thing. Colour theory is of course the basis of this. Monochrome takes away that response and values shape, form and light to invoke a visual response.

Different ways of telling a story. Just taking a colour film/video/photograph and removing colour may not work. Shooting in monochrome has deliberate intent.

> I could not find any related and trustable calculation about how much electricity consumes a Wifi router.

On the botton of your router you probably have a sticker about required power supply. Which should tell you about the router max power consumption.

Very basic wifi routers usually requires 12V 1A, which gives 12W (12 * 1). Typical expected power consumption should be around 25% of this - 6W.

This gives you 4,32kWh / month.

The lowest power WIFI router I've seen was requiring 12V 0,5A, and the most powerful - 12V 3,5A.

> I am curious about the difference between the idle mode and when I downloading with full bandwith.

You need to measure it with watt meter. There are too many factors to just guess it.

Full download via WIFI may not be the most power hungry feature of a router.
