>Those that despite having the space and the option of working form home yet chose onsite are welcome to do so. But i will remind folks that that is unnatural for human beings

So, people not wanting to bring their work inside their homes where they eat, sleep, watch movies, play games, meet friends, have sex and play with their kids is unnatural? Are you gonna tell me next that same sex couples are also unnatural?

I'll tell you what's unnatural: You trying to be the authority on what's unnatural.

Stop trying to enforce your world views on everyone.
Sensisble Soccer was great - but I was more into the Kick Off series of soccer games for the Amiga. The original creator of Kick Off redid and updated it for modern systems (Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival).
Arguably the most common line of code in Go, ‘if err != nil’ is doing what you’re saying you should never do in the language: check if an interface value is nil. (And, in fact, care must be taken when returning custom error types precisely because of the typed nil issue.)

So I don’t think the authors of the language see it the same way you do.

(FWIW I was also a Go style reviewer working with the Go team for a few years, and I’ve never heard this idea from them in that time.)
>Fernando Medina, Portugal's finance minister, has recently submitted a budget draft proposal to parliament calling for a 28% tax on capital gains from cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin (BTC-USD) held for less than a year.

That's a much much better deal than what you would get in many other countries. Sometimes I wonder why I don't live in Portugal, but I'm sure it's not all roses.

Cryptocurrencies and NFT tokens are experiencing a boom in popularity today. However, both the creators and investors of crypto startups have a common pain — finding and placing a promising project on the network. A game, a cryptocurrency, a metaverse — there is a huge demand for a platform where everyone has an opportunity to promote a product, get detailed information about it, and buy, sell, or exchange tokens profitably. Launchpads became an innovative solution to resolve all these challenges. We understand how they work and why startups and investors need them so much, and we make an overview of the most popular launchpads in 2022.

Also a big Obsidian user. I guess since they're both markdown it would be very easy to test out nb on my existing notes?

Though for me, the killer feature in Obsidian is the seamless LateX support within a markdown file. I see nb has support for .tex files, but I only want to write LateX when it's absolutely necessary for math notation, not the whole file.

Not true for many if not most people. More physical effort is a feature for me. I can now have a really enjoyable workout by simply playing a video game and I’ve lost 20 lbs so far. Also I find myself playing a lot less video games since it tires me out within 2 hours
I think it's very insteresting the potential sinergy between DDD and formal modeling languages. Personally I've used TLA+ and PlusCal for modeling complex systems and find difficult issues like concurrency problems.

Well, it's not necessarily cheaper to produce (either by carefully controlling the alcohol production or doing some sort of "dialysis"). It's true they should be cheaper once you think of taxes, but probably the don't want to cannibalize their alcohol sales by outcompeting themselves in price.

As an employee of a company where about 1/3 of our workforce have migrated to Google Workspace and the rest have not, I have a (pretty long) list of things that are a pain. Anything to do with sharing is awkward. Google Chat vs Teams is a headache. Lack of calendar integration is annoying.

Obviously YMMV, but I don't think it's as simple as you're making it out to be.
The article also just throws the title out there as a curiosity without mention of the content. Leaving me wondering if perhaps the content is less relevant than the "racy" title.

Calling the Eduard Rhein prize the "German equivalent of the Nobel Prize" is also a bit of a stretch. Though I guess technically it's a prize awarded by a foundation named after a person.

Inflation is measured ex post facto. TRY against EUR has been pretty stable from January, but the August 2022 rate compares the difference from August 2021. It's not cumulative every month.

If TRY against EUR will stay stable until January 2023, I expect that we will talk about TRY having roughly the same inflation as EUR.

Can you not sell a Genshin Impact account? My understanding is that selling accounts that have been pre-gambled so to speak has a long history in MMOs and pay-to-win games. If you can't re-sell the virtual items, just re-sell the whole account.

How Unfortunate That Amazon Works So Well
When I was a kid in the 1950s we had some relays in the house. With the power supply from the train set I invented bistable circuits and buzzers and big wobbling structures just by messing around. I also got hold of a light sensitive resistor. I invented an emergency light (came on when lights went off). Went to show it to my mum and dad, switched off the light (it was dark) but accidentally left my light pointing at the resistor. The rapid flashing was impressive and disorienting. I invented the strobe.
You're confusing general purpose locks with special-purpose ones used in the memory allocator. Firefox has its own GP locks, you can find them here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=&path=xpcom%2...*

However those are not suitable for use in the memory allocator, and neither are WebKit's. WebKit uses os_unfair_lock within its memory allocator:

So they looked at data from one unique timeperiod in history. This is not a repeatable experiment.
> demand to living in expensive areas will go down because it'll be (proportionally) less necessary to live where the jobs are.

Expensive areas are expensive not only because of jobs but for many other reasons, mainly related to entertainment. Even with UBI, NYC will remain far more attractive than middle America because of a better {dating, restaurants, bars, museums, ...} scene.
>It's literally creating money out of thin air. The process is just obfuscated behind shell games and big words

It is done that way to prevent out of control money printing. This process has stopped the concept of money printing since 1970 and it ensured there is less inflation. The central bank is doing its inflation fighting job right now. The difficulty of creating more money is being increased. At some point the deflationary forces of paying back money will arrive and inflation won't continue. It takes time.

>In reality, though, debt is never paid back, especially by governments. Instead it's refinanced be taking on ever more debt. The amount of debt is only ever growing and so is the money supply.

This is actually orthogonal to how money is created. The gold standard wasn't safe from a permanently expanding money supply even though digging gold is very expensive.

If you want to stop debt expansion you would need to read up on Silvio Gesell. Essentially the argument goes that money is both a medium of exchange and a store of value. Those two functions contradict each other. Saved money cannot be used to buy things. As a country becomes more prosperous the medium of exchange becomes scarce because people are saving and delaying consumption. There are still some people who have the need to transact and they need money. They could borrow money but that would make the debt problem worse because they would have to pay interest. They could issue more money but that would make the money supply problem worse. How is this supposed to be resolved? That saved money is like a blocked road, if a road is used as a parking lot, it cannot be used for its intended function, driving. We fine people for illegal parking and they will get their cars off the road and pay for private parking. What is a parking fee on money? It is effectively a negative interest rate or a demurrage fee. It encourages people to save in non money assets and give money to people who still have transaction needs.

This is completely orthogonal to what kind of money you have whether it has to be dug out, is printed by the government directly or you have a credit money system. All of them must have what amounts to a parking fee when debt is being paid off.
I also, finding the post at least interesting to think about, and somewhat more compact, wrote my own version of the it, and followed up with some abbreviated notes of what I have been thinking of as a reasonable response/cure to the mentioned problems (ie, as a kind of establishment of a basis for value ethics):

You know what I like about tar.gz? gzip is often a transparent compression layer on some tools, like say Athena. Tar is a simple concatenation of files + header.

They do and so does jemalloc in Firefox, however that lowers contention, it doesn't let you do away with synchronization. Consider this simple scenario: a thread allocates a chunk of memory from its per-thread pool, but the object is later released by another thread. You can't do that w/o synchronization around the pool. Per-CPU pools are even trickier because a thread might be moved around between different CPUs by the scheduler while it's allocating memory. So you need special facilities to implement those in user-space like restartable sequences: https://lwn.net/Articles/650333/
This book is so important to the conversation. Kuhn goes into detail on how everyone believed in Phlogiston until the adherents died and only then did the science progress into modern thermodynamics. He gives example after example of this pattern. He coined the phrase "paradigm shift" in the book to describe the pattern.

I think the great mistake every current generation of scientists makes is that they believe that this generation is fundamentally "right" and cannot undergo any further revolutions - at least on domains they "know" about. All other domains are up for grabs of course, and silly dogmatic them for believing otherwise!

Only when someone goes against the "scientific consensus" does any progress get made in any field. It's too bad we are humans with egos and cannot let go of ideas that we hold too close to our hearts. Perhaps it's an evolutionary trait that we are so short lived? Without such short lives dogma might win the day!
I feel like the advice here is a little weirdly targeted given:

Doesn't sound like you're at all dependent on alcohol, you just need something to get you over the "well, why not?" urge. Make a bet with a friend and agree you'll donate a meaningful/painful amount of money to a cause you absolutely hate if you drink.

I don't really see the equivalent of the '80s personal computer in much of the new technology.

For geeks, I guess the "new PC" was embeddable stuff (Arduino, micro controllers, Raspberry Pi) but that seems like it's more the heady days of Radio Shack in the late 1970s than PCs.

Looking back it seemed, at first, that the PCs were a logical extension of that Radio Shack type tinkering. So if history is going to rhyme, the "next PC" is going to be tangential to the hobbyist tinkering but spring up from it.

Wild guesses would have to be something that is right now unaffordable for the average person but can be built out of that stuff (i.e. nobody could afford their own PC until the 8080/Z80/6502 based machines). And it will have to be something of the "I didn't know I needed that" kind of application.

So...maybe home medical labs. Like Theranos wanted to be, but actually works. Like you could use one to tailor your diet, or monitor your health issues without having to go through the rigmarole of a lab. The first ones will get built out of a pile of gubbins, then somebody coalesces a kit, then it goes ballistic.
Elden Ring, for one.
Director of Product Management uses phrases like "you must fall in love with ..." and then wonders why this product doesn't fly... It's not like "we need to think how to build something people would love", it's "we got this thing, love it now, quickly!". Surely mandating its use would fix it. Or the beatings will continue until the morale improves!
Decentralized feudal lords caused the sen goku period in Japan and the warring states period in China.

Decentralized attempts to tackle climate change have resulted in run away global warming.

Decentralized negotiations led to companies exploiting workers, often to death, on a massive-scale during the industrial revolution and even today in many places.

That doesn’t say anything about whether centralization or decentralization will lead somewhere in general. There’s a lot of good and bad in both, it isn’t black and white
> it doesn't sound like you're all that bad

Disagree it sounds like somewhere in the beginning to the middle of a real problem. Alcohol cravings are definiteley a sign of a problem if you can't just swap it in your mind for any other (non alcoholic) drink you like and not feel like "nope, not the same"

Remember: Alcohol is a cell poison and there is no healthy amount to consume

Take this for the Internet advice that it is, but...

Dealing with problems that you don't know the answers to right away is part of the job, and it's one that stresses you out. By doing extensive prep, you're avoiding some number of stressful incidents, but you're also making sure that the incidents you do have are higher stakes.

You might try doing a less detailed read of documentation before you start, then if you get stuck, you can expect to look at the documentation to get you unstuck. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but you'll practice getting unstuck and it will hopefully be less stressful.

Some of us just despair on the inside.

Which doesn't really make sense. Not necessarily every senior engineer wants or even should become Staff. It's a completely different role, it also has much less vacancies than for seniors.

Forcing seniors to go up or out is an illogical way to shoot yourself on the foot... They are the experienced engineers who can train the next batch of junior/mid-level that might want to become Staff later. Seniors are usually the engine of onboarding.

Some people like to be good at what they do without having to chase higher positions to perform a different job, I really don't understand why a company would force seniors to go up or out.
I’m not sure why you’re being sarcastic. Everything is going up 10-30-50%. That is far from trivial and affects my monthly expenditure significantly.

You can still rebuild cars. Lots of the tolerances of the motor are much better than in the old days but that doesn't mean you can't seat your own valves in a modern motor. In fact, since everything is now electronic and all the hideous vacuum powered stuff is gone, they're easier to work than ever before IMHO. I'm in the middle of rebuilding a Gen 3 5.7 Hemi and the design is just so simple and great, compared to working on the old, messy, paper gasket rubbish of the 1970s and 1980s it's an absolute dream.

And science, as a whole, only gets better at explaining phenomena, I'm not aware of anything that's had to be walked back, unlike claims made by actual religions like "Native Americans are a tribe of Israelites who were punished for their sins by God, by giving them a different skin colour", which didn't survive the event of genetics.

There's skepticism, and then there's contrarianism, and a lot of people mired in the latter think they're practicing the former.

You linked to coffee. There are probably 2 types of coffee bean buyer: The one who cares if it is freshly roasted, and the one that doesn't. Probably it is a matter of taste preference, snobbishness, cost etc. But it would be good to specify if it is freshly roasted with a roast date, or more the "Italian imported" style, like Lavazza for example where it was roasted a while ago dark roast.
