> I'm not in the UK but we are having a similar cost of living crisis in Ireland.

I'm irish, living in the UK, and the cost of living crisis is significantly worse here. The standard rate that Electric ireland are about to increase to for both gas and electricity is lower than I paid last winter, and we're about to see our bills almost double from that (and do the same again in 6 months). My bill in october will be almost 4x the cost of what it was last september.

I don't think it's true - we've done tons of work to optimise Ruby.
Edit: I wanted to amend this to say I don’t think people should use psychedelics regularly, which I think my original comment below might imply. Lots of downsides to regular use, occasional (every couple years) seems to have little risk and some benefits in my experience. Original text below is unedited.

I dunno, if you regularly use lsd or mushrooms, you probably have had a “wow that was more than I wanted” experience, that means you had complete ego loss, had the veil of reality completely pulled back so you could “see” the arbitrariness of society and human interactions. Your embarrassing actions you have been deluding yourself about come crashing down around you. You sober up and you rationalize some of it away but there’s a big nagging thing in the back of your mind screaming “maybe you should stop doing ____”.

At least this has happened to me on a couple of occasions and has led to me apologizing to people, changing my default behaviors, etc. I am not a super introspective person so the kick in the head that psychedelics occasionally provide has allowed for some personality changes that were necessary and good.

As an adult I now recognize that these experiences could be beneficial as therapy with the right person to guide you through it, that most people probably don’t get the full benefit these occasional experiences provide by themselves. I didn’t think this while young and just partying (though did have a bit of woo woo collective consciousness mind expansion mindset). Anything other than the recreation aspects of it were me trying to justify why it was ok, and getting high a lot is generally not ok. I actually sobered up for rest of my life after a strong mushroom trip left me thinking I was wasting my life and going down the wrong path.

In short, there’s meat here, but of course with all these things there will be people riding a fad and making a buck, but bad usually tags along with the good in some amount.

I don’t agree at all.

Emotionally invested fans of these stories clearly exist and describing them as the core audience isn’t a dishonest claim. Neither is it dishonest to claim that some of these fans feel alienated by the new versions of these stories.

You can debate both claims, and my views don’t align perfectly with OP’s either but there is no intellectually dishonesty on the the part of the OP in making the claims.

Or you could look at your vanguard dashboard every year on December 20th, look at the annual losses and sell those reinvesting in something else similar.

I think people get $1MM by avoiding $2500/year expenses. I plan on investing for 20-50 more years so saving $50-125k seems like a good exchange for an hour or so work every year.

You kind of have to review your holdings manually anyway as even if I had a personal advisor I would still check my own stuff.

The G7, NATO and others have showered Ukraine with more money than it will ever be able to spend on military assets (which they are also being showered with). Ukraine needs experienced solders and expertise in the conflict zone. NATO, G7, etc. are unwilling to make that escalation so they'll keep on throwing more money and resources into a black hole to appear to be doing something when they're not willing to do the one thing that must be done if they want Ukraine to prevail. The only question is how long will the people of the nations supporting Ukraine continue to let this go on? Unless those supporting Ukraine do so with their own bodies, the end result of the conflict is guaranteed, all we're doing now is prolonging the pain.
Is it just me ? Or is lisp-like(Take that all those REST-Like post from yesteryear) post/tech making a comeback ??

Just one datapoint.(ie glorious me)

I like php(yea suck it haters) ,c,go,mysql,solr,ml,linux,svelte and choose star trek over starwars.

Ok so with that picture, ive been dedicating myself to learn clojure(lisp'ish?) and dabble in sbcl/scheme

I definitely see the value in it if you can stick through the frustration and learning curve. Just to he honest this learning curve of lisp-like is bigger then going from OOP to Functional paradigm ateast for me.

It sorta like bad karate... you not really dangerous until you hit blackbelt level1000, but if you stick with it, you get a new perspective !

Look im not saying dont code your next startup in rust+typescript. Im saying if you know lisp and its teaching you will do a better job at coding yout next startup in typescript+rust

TL;DR!

Dammit man(woman?) you a computing-profesional you need to learn lisp just to so you better at deploying the inferior tech stack :)

Also lisper are nicer ppl than java/rust/react ppl (personal experience)
I am personally on conservative side here so I'm not questioning morality and the law we have now. I'm very much against of spreading of such material regardless of how it was created. If someome decide to publicly share something like that there should be consequences.

At the same time I think everyone should be free to wrire / paint / generate whatever material they want on their own computer within comfort of their house. As long as no one gets hurt I dont give a damn.

The author seems to be mainlining Luke Smith's kool-aid (I think he runs landchad.net). Even though Luke is clearly intelligent and occasionally makes a good point, he has a habit of draping everything in this weird alt-right-esque meme-language that makes it all fairly hard to swallow, although that may well be the point.
It would be interesting if the show actually did that storyline.

The thread subject was concerning why it took 3 years to release a product as droll as a screwdriver. It is amazing how insulted people get over medical conditions.

Net-Zero Emissions Policy Bankrupts Britain
And it could do the same to the U.S., which is following a similar path.
Updated Aug. 26, 2022 7:01 pm ET

Americans who fancy themselves net-zero climate advocates might want to take a look at Britain for a guide to the future. Household energy bills were expected to rise 40% this autumn, but on Friday the government regulator announced they’ll leap 80% in a single bound.

This boost follows a 54% rise in April and brings the average household’s annual bill to £3,549 ($4,208). The median household income is £31,400, which gives a sense of the growing proportion of each household’s budget that will go toward central heating, cooking and keeping the lights on. For the ruling Tories, this is a political calamity.

And that’s merely what households will spend directly on energy. Britain is also in the grip of an energy-price crisis for businesses, whose rates aren’t subject to a cap. Some small businesses report they can’t get any utility to supply them without paying a steep deposit up front, because energy companies are concerned that high prices will push more small firms into insolvency. Lower-income households in particular will bear the brunt of this as prices for goods and services skyrocket and companies lay off employees.

If you think this couldn’t happen in America, think again. The underlying cause of Britain’s energy misery is its fixation with climate goals, especially the ambition to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. To meet that goal Britain has grown hostile to domestic energy exploration, banning shale-gas fracking and slapping windfall-profits taxes on North Sea oil and gas producers that will deter investment. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has hurt, but the U.K.’s policies made its citizens vulnerable to such a global shock.

The U.K. is belatedly building new nuclear plants, but those will take years to come online. Unreliable wind and solar raise the cost the electric grid must pay to balance supply and demand when the winds are still and the sun is behind clouds, and more than 80% of English households rely on gas rather than electricity to heat their homes. All of this drives up the cost of supplying power, and then the government adds about £153 in green levies and a 5% consumption tax directly on household bills.

I recommend Weekly Rate Consulting[0]

About four years ago a friend of mine, who specializes in personal brand consultation, suggested whatever my hourly was that I double it. I didn't believe her. I doubled it and landed the first proposal.

You're probably worth more than you think.

Specialization can increase your rate, but business sense, communication, and ability to articulate and contribute value at the executive level is a 10x difference.

It depends on the college/university. I went to Stony Brook University (SUNY) in NY and we had an excellent CS program where we not only learned theory but did plenty of real world programming challenges including learning how to use version control (we used cvs circa 2002-2004) etc. We even had one specific class called Software Engineering where we designed a software from scratch and it was great learning. We did decent amount of HTML/CSS/JS as well. At the time, our server side language of choice was Java and Swing for GUI etc. We had assignments where we had to literally just design and not code (I kinda thought it was strange) but made us think more abstract.

So yea, it depends where you did your CS degree from. Personally, I think it taught me a lot and got us ready for the real world at least as an entry level. Back then, there were no frameworks.
Put a EU wide ceiling on electricity generated from gas and prices will come back down. Currently its Italy, Netherlands and Germany making everyone pay inflated bills.

Help? If someone admits they think they might go do something wrong like: sexual abuse, arson, shooting someone... would it help them to give them virtual content of rape, shooting games, horror/torture...?

Would GTA helps criminals in their rehabilitation?

I am not an expert on what help they need, but it would not be content that fuels their obsession

For most criminals we give them prison. For people with disorders we give the mental treatment

But possibly they can be treated with psychotherapy

> the people currently in charge don't really care if the poor in our society freeze or starve as they've stated so astutely in the recent leadership contest.

I am prepared to believe that until next week they are fully aware that the people who will elect them genuinely don't care about the poor. After that I hope the idea of getting re-elected by the public will induce a sudden change of plan, if not heart.
Prelude was Asimov himself making a prequel, there was another one and some sequels to the original trilogy. Also the books are connected with the robot series.

There are some differences in tone. But there are some coherent ideas. Religion is seen as bad, a tool for control. There are mental powers, but that's not magic, just advanced humans. Science is mostly presented as a good thing, with serious dangers that must be sorted, but there's a general techno-optimism that inspired several generations of readers.

In the books we side with robots' nearly human condition. In tv show there's a question if cloned humans have souls. Religion is powerful and sometimes shown in a positive light. Humans can predict the future, not with science but with magical powers. All the dome thing is not science but a deception. A confident merchant character like Mallow, is now police with a tormented mind and now a personal tragedy.

If you have the money and the inventive to create a big budget show like that, do it from scratch. Don't mutilate others's work just for the name.

Yup, the Witcher series did a great job at that (I say this as a fan of the books but not the game). E.g. Elves are discriminated because of pointy ears, not skin color, so no reason to limit the cast the story works equally well.

I think you're right. Italian is not an ethnicity. Italy hasn't been a unified political entity for very long. There are Italians from all sorts of different ethnicities and races. Would it be okay for a Black person to play this role if they were Italian? If not, why is it okay for non-Italian white actors to play other roles?

Is a Corsican person Italian? Is an Italian-American? Is Mario Balotelli (for example)? Why does any of this matter?
> Scoping and planning is hard, specially with limited info, and you can't reasonably allocate 10x the resources to your project just to have a decent slack in the critical path.

Why not? If you don't have an accurate understanding of the problem you NEED to allocate extra time to gain that understanding or redevelop as the requirements emerge.

> emergent technical requirements that dev teams didn't managed to see beforehand

What? So developers that see poor breifs and ask for more time to manage that lack of information can't be given that time but then its the developers problem for not asking for more time to manage that?

Your developers don't have a crystal ball!

It's high time that Management stop blaming developers for the things managers control.
> Managers are held accountable

In my 15 year career I’ve never seen line manager being let go for poor performance. I’ve seen a good number of underperforming devs getting canned and some higher-ups (usually for political reasons or just phoning in completely) but never line managers.
> I am extremely comfortable with people having to suffer the obvious consequences of their choicse [sic]

Of course, because you probably don't have to live with any serious consequences of your choices, and you're most likely unaffected by these ones either.

Almost half if not more than half of the population in a democracy usually doesn't get to make a realistic choice, they voted for the losers without enough power to enact anything.

Most people don't get to live with the result of their choices but the result of others'. This means the pain is lessened for those responsible, and heightened for others. Are they allowed to moan without triggering your sensibilities? How would you know which is which?

Then realistically you probably didn't get to "suffer" the real consequences from most of your democratic process related choices. If you voted for leadership that went on to wage an illegal war you don't get to bear any of that responsibility. People love to bang their own drum about democracy, and freedoms, and their power, and the contribution they made. Until you bring up what the leaders they chose did. And then it's no longer their responsibility, then it's just a stamp on a paper, not a share of the responsibility. What are the consequences you suffer for something like that?
Automated deposits? Yes they have that, I use it myself
going by that logic cocaine and heroin should also treat depression in the same way, but they clearly don't.
The issue is that your doctor can't write a prescription for the mushrooms themselves, so those aren't likely to become a mainstream treatment.

The more likely outcome is that the industry will create a synthetic analogue of psilocybin, conduct the trials needed to get it FDA-approved as a depression treatment, and then market it widely, making it more readily available and widely known than psilocybin itself.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing: such an analogue might (say) have fewer side effects or work more reliably. But it will result in the pharmaceutical industry getting the bulk of the profits.
"It's not about whether you use psychedlics or not"

"without putting in hard work pre- and post-session, nothing much is going to happen in the long term"

Sounds a lot like cognitive bias to me. It's ultimately a placebo if you still need to put the work in. Ergo, you could achieve the same results even without taking it. It's attributing personal growth to a drug rather than to your own willpower to do something.

For anyone interested, the article overlaps quite a bit with the ideas of the German philosopher Josef Pieper. His book 'Leisure: The Basis of Culture' is a fairly short read and can really shift your perspective if you're growing tired and bored with the cult of success.

I don't know much about this author but it's clear she is well acquainted with Pieper's ideas.
Texas homes were not insulated well to handle those conditions which made it worse. Some water heaters were outside and with the power out lost their frost protection as well. In the US, there are different climate zones which change how the house is built with mine being in a more colder climate it can handle things well down to about -20F and then it has issues.

Natural gas has not gone out here for a while and is a much larger issue if it did. Gas company would have to come out and lit all the gas appliances. I assume they spend a lot to prevent that cost and can use themselves to power their infrastructure.
Joke's on you, I'm posting this from the console!
1. Older audiences have more money and spend more of it.

2. There’s only 68 million Gen Z compared to 72 million Millenials.

3. You keep a franchise alive and healthy by protecting the core IP and making the fans happy not by alienating them and making terrible renditions of the story. If you do that then all you have left is a name that is increasingly associated with bad writing and acting and eventually it becomes a joke that no one will turn out for.
I was able to build it for M1 without any issue. You just need a previous lisp to bootstrap, a previous release or even clisp can be used, for example.

In an ideal world, where everyone votes sincerely (and using an agreed-on scale), sure.

But that's not the real world: here people are declaring a whole season of a show either a 10 or 1, after _maybe_ seeing 25% of it.

In other words, this data is too noisy and so not trustworthy.
But LSD was a "big pharma" solution and Sandoz tried to sell it as a pharmaceutical for at least a decade.

There is a lot of problems with "big pharma" but being against cheap and effective permanent solutions is not one of them, otherwise they wouldn't sell vaccines: many vaccines are cheap, one time use, effective and prevent profitable (?) diseases.

The pharmaceutical industry has ways of making money of cheap and out of patent drugs. For example, by patenting a 0.1% more effective derivative and selling it, or by simply jacking up the price when you are the only one making it (see the Epipen scandal). This, by the way is the problem with the pharmaceutical industry, they spend way too much effort making money with old medicine and finding patentable derivatives than researching new ones. If LSD turned out safe and effective by regulatory agency standards, they will definitely sell it, or maybe some slightly tweaked and patented variant of it.
