I have definitely shown hobbies to other people who immediately get on my case about monetizing the project. I would say this has happened at least 2 times in the past 3 years. Every time I tell them the same thing. “I am having fun now and the effort to monetize isn't fun”.

I think I agree with OP. An alarming number of people are only thinking about money that could be made. To them, there is never enough. “Fun should not come at the expense of profit”.

I love some of these people but they are sick in the head.
Whatevs. I'll still simply open Excel to do mostly anything. Diagrams. "Napkin math" type sketching of ideas. Big ass database type work. Concatenateing large lists of strings in different ways. You name it, I can excel at it with Excel.
I think peers in a team always know who is the one who gets almost everything done. Maybe people in managament or in leadership positions don't know, but me in an individual contributor role always know who is the most productive and the one with the most business knowledge of my team.
My utility recently made smart-meter metrics available (even raw data feeds) with 15min resolution for all energy use and pricing. It's been incredibly helpful, however my biggest electricity hog is my refrigerator.

However, the hardest thing to do when figuring out what uses / wastes electricity in your home is establishing a baseline with the most appliances / systems turned off as possible.

My apt is well insulated, but for me it's still crazy (even packing the fridge with as much thermal mass as possible), and furnace / AC turned off at the breaker my apt still uses around 8KWH per day. Water heaters and refrigerators have a long way to go! Curiously, leaving my AC / furnace completely off or on at about 80% cooling a 20F delta uses very little power, exciting how efficient modern climate control is :).

I was biking in the northern Sweden and stopping by a restaurant. I left my luggage on my unlocked bike outside while going in for lunch for an hour. Nothing strange about that, why would anyone steal a bike? Noone locked their bikes!

Instead of saying openess is bad, let's say what kind of society you would like to live in and then work towards it.

Personally I would rather not have a bike lock, nor door lock.
> It is just another revenue stream

No different than the iPhone itself. Apple has already paid for the iPhone out of their coffers before you buy it. Your purchase is nothing more than another source of revenue that replenishes those coffers. It is just a colloquialism to say that the money you spent was to pay for the iPhone, as it is for Xcode in this case.

Post correction it makes homes more affordable as it lowers the down payment requirement. It also helps people build equity after a refinance at eventual lower interest trades etc.

There are a bunch of effects that make very low long term interest rates surprisingly bad for long term economic growth.

If the carbon tax is simply passed to the consumer, this will have exactly the intended effect. People will pick the cheapest products and we'll end up with an economy that's optimizing for the most efficient ways of lowering carbon.
Interesting concept, and plenty of good discussion and criticism in other comments.

One thing in particular from the article that I found especially objectionable:

> For now, the theory is just that—a theory.

This is a conjecture. I expect better from science journalism.
I think one of the big distinctions between software engineering and development is objective decision making based on data and evidence versus conjecture and opinion. I’d suggest that while there are instances where software is engineered, most software is developed. I’d also submit that this is mostly driven by pragmatic reasons like maximizing benefit to cost ratios. Of course this is all conjecture but hey, I’m a Software Engineer :).
You implement the runtime itself in Java, and you use that runtime to run your runtime.
How this effects housing prices:

Housing prices are determined largely by what payments people can manage to make.

At 3.22% (the approximate rate on Jan 1 2022) A $2000 payment can finance $462,000. At 7.7% (what google says is the current average rate) it would only finance about $280,000. At 12% (my personal guess at where rates will peak in about 18 months before quickly returning to around 7% for several years after that) it will finance $195,000.

Additionally, there are very ignorant people that took out ARM loans even though interest rates were historically low. Those people will almost all face foreclosure in the next few years, very few people can afford to make a mortgage payment that is 3x what they signed up for.
A landlord in Sweden cannot increase the rent out of the blue. If there is a rental contract in place at least. If renting without a contract for some weird reason, well, you better be sure you rent from someone you trust. Like in most other countries I would expect.
This happens quite often. We had a mayor in the past who claimed to have a degree in civics or something from a university, when that was found out to not be true, they issued a press release trying to save face. He was re-elected, somehow.
That conflates term and other risk premiums. Interest rates are composed of:

- Risk Free Rate
- Inflation
- Default Risk Premium
- Liquidity Premium
- Maturity Premium

The RFR has of course increased substantially in the last year but the other 4 components can easily be assessed as "riskier" when comparing to a year ago. Shorter term rates will absolutely be affected by the same components to varying degrees.

For covid: average age at death > average life expectancy. Really think about what that means.

If we counted flu deaths like we counted COVID deaths (i.e. anyone testing positive who died, died of covid), you would have a similar, terrifying death count for the flu. But people still wouldn't be afraid of it.

Not because they're stupid, but because your measurement ("six million dead"!) fails to capture the reality of the situation: the chance of a healthy under 70 dying of covid was negligible. And people behaved logically given this reality.
Studies and headlines on media come out every so often linking burned/browned foods to cancer, and likewise comes every so often a meta analysis stating the contrary.

Heck, until the writing of this comment, I thought that browned foods increased cancer risk but were in the category of "we all have to die of something" because I wasn't giving them up.

I work in an environment which has dozens of products, very significant complexity and legislative needs. Cucumber works very well for us because we use it for specifying outcomes. There's way to much Gherkin out there which tries to use it for describing a journey (I click this, then this, and this....)

It works really well for us to get a shared understanding between a non-technical business, devs and QA.

That said, we then hand it the Gherkin over to the SDETs who fettle it according to our house style (which is strict and must pass enforced linting) and it does take gardening as the product matures. It's our SDETs who write the test code: we wouldn't dream of letting a non-technical person actually drive the test logic itself.

There is nuance that interest changes over the period of the loan. In or so 2007 some people took 5% Euribor + margin loans, but only some years after it was negative. And since negative euribor was not written to contracs some paid less interest than was margin.
What kind of subjects?
I am shocked how dumb recruiters could be in many cases, typically at bigger organizations. Sometimes it feels like the human resurces department consists of algorithmic devices, it woud be more appropriate calling them robotic resources.

Apart from this reference nonsense asked right in the first form - refused of course leading to exclusion by some automation immediately - I met with ability test of rapid finance related calculations - not enought time to complete all and only tests how good I am in finance tests having a non-relaistic idealistic scenario as a context - for an engineering position - which then "will be the baseline for promotion decisions" later. Refused to take the test, then I was refused too. All this after successful engineering interviews and conceptual agreement on particulars (salary, location of work, start date).

Not remembering I got refused and calling me with the same kind of position in couple of weeks, greeting me with "you have experience that fits perfectly" just to offer me something require experience I don't have so obviously not reading the long forms they mandate to fill in down do the last dot, and similar clue and careless aproaches are what I experienced.

There are dozen or (famous in their field) organizations I could discourage people from applying to due to the dumb procedures even on the most elementary level. Frightening what could go on there concerning organization and administrative tasks.

All have very cutting edge approaches to forming a perfect work environment that they consider the utmost importance if you look at their career pages with explosively happy all young and dynamic and diverse and smart and pretty people. They are full of bulls..t and they know that (or hopelessly clueless which is equally frightening).

So there is a formal law stating that all citizens need (should, is expected to) have an address. But of course not everybody has an address registered. By choice or other reasons.

If you don't it doesn't mean you get arrested, thrown in jail. It is just a requirement for a lot of things in the public services to work in general. The social services for example are pretty good at handling, solving issues like these when you are homeless.

The underlying assumption in these anecdotes is that if everyone had equal access to test prep resources they would show an equal increase in performance. But the studies[1] don't bear this out. If someone is an outlier in terms of coachability, that probably means there were gaps in knowledge that could be filled quickly to have an outsized effect on score. But this seems relevant to suitability for college admission.

> Typing is not a programming bottleneck. Programming is thinking and talking to people.

We use to have 7+-2 layers of thinking. When you program, you hold in these layers: what word are you typing, where are you typing, what problem are you solving, what parts of codebase are you changing. If you do not touchtype, you are wasting at least 1/9 of your brain's possibility. Each time you are interrupting your stare from a screen you actually performing some extra scanning job which gives you nothing except of fatigue.

Actually my first programming decision which I did in my tenths was to get rid of QWERTY and it was one of few things in my life which I did absolutely right. So telling me that touchtyping skill is not important is just counterproductive.

> I wouldn't put that much importance into a specific editor

vim does to my text editing experience as much as touchtype does to my text input, no not-touchtyping person can understand how cool is to make all kinds of edits without getting my fingers off the 5 rows of keyboard (3 rows plus digits plus space but in default configuration you also need Esc).

The modern classic "Rock Stardom for Dumbshits" [0] encapsulates this amateur achievement anxiety well. The target audience is musicians but I feel the aphorism has general applicability:

Level One: you do it for love, you do it for fun, you do it for friends, family and community. No expectations of making it big. Maybe you get invited to perform somewhere because of your skill and love of the craft. Maybe some lucrative opportunity emerges, but this is not the goal, merely a side effect.

Level Three: The big time. Private jets, mansions, groupies, free drugs, widespread recognition, adulation, and infamy.

Level Two: the vast purgatory between Level One and Level Three. The grind of trying to "make it." Self-promotion in a saturated or disinterested market; sleeping in the tour van playing to empty rooms on a Tuesday night; the endless parade of bookers, agents and promoters all promising one thing or another and disappearing when dry reality evaporates the wet dream. Sisyphean strivers, performing the same futile acts week after week, month after month; Tantalean hustlers dangling one ephemeral opportunity after another before hapless hungry mouths.

If you cannot jump directly from Level One to Level Three, Stay at Level One.

An environment where your productivity is measured by the amount of code you check in and the number of story points you complete is exactly the "work environment that drives other workers away" analog31 mentioned. Many ICs (and frankly most of the best ones) consider this to be micromanagement.
I don't see how they're going to go down that low. To do that, you need to have oversupply, or you need to be able to build a house for that price (building prices are up and will likely stay up due to prices of materials, living cost, and energy).

Employers are having trouble finding labor, the government has its foot on the neck of the non-green energy sector, the world is not producing like it used to when prices fell in the past.
> and already its just the memory of light, not light itself.

And not even a memory of light directly, but rather a representation of the sensory input that is triggered by photons.

In parallel, we (or, more accurately, those who study it) also have intellectual representations of photons, somewhat divorced from the physical experience.
I think a part of it is they never get punished.

Having dealt only a tiny bit with Node, GYP (it's garbage C++ interop layer) and the inexplicable dependency on Python (???) being installed on the devs machine in order to build the C++ code that got copied into node_modules, I know better than to ever try another library making use of that.
> What's wrong with brown butter

Across the board, putting partially combusted hydrocarbons in your body is bad. This includes breathing the smoke from cigarettes, marijuana, and fires, eating food that is charred or burned, and consuming fat or oil that is oxidized.

If you only do it occasionally, the effect size is probably too small to matter, though.
> BTW, how do you implement a garbage collector with a garbage-collected language?

You write it carefully so the garbage collector itself doesn't also need to allocate objects.

Could be. I work with a lot of Indians, both here and abroad. I won't/can't profess to be an expert on them of their culture. But I can say that I've learned a lot over the years. I can only speculate (but won't do so here) on the reason for giving parent's occupation. From what I understand, the caste system is not what it once was and is beginning to disappear into the past, but it's legacy can still be felt in some profound ways both in India and here in the U.S.

Or they managed to get in while the network effect wasn't solidified yet. Other phones can't even compete in areas where iPhone usage is very low, like in India. That tells me it's more than Apple did a really good job
Apple has (allegedly) deliberately handicapped mobile safari to make sure you can only ship a good mobile experience via an app.

That gives the the leverage to demand the cut from everything, because they can then kick you off of iphones if you don't comply.

This is correct, you will pay more to service the loan but only until you can refinance it. If you pay more in a low interest rate regime you have no way to improve your situation, and no way to sell if you need to.
Could do with a bit more instruction and feedback to the user. A lot of the times, the blue highlighting seems to indicate I've matched all the necessary parts of the input, which should mean the puzzle is solved, but it's Game Over instead.

My most recent examplew was "It's alive! It's alive!" as input with all the non-space underlined, for which I wrote `/\S/g`. It seemed to match all the required parts, but the timer just counted down and ended with a Game Over. And there's no feedback on what exactly was wrong. (I encountered similarly confusing ones seven or eight times, so this isn't an isolated input for which this happens.)
I work around people who are reluctant to give an honest appraisal because of the fear of legal repercussions by asking:

It's no different to writing any other compiler for Language X in Language X, and that's a really common thing to do. The Java compiler emits files containing Java Bytecode which are subsequently run by a different invocation of the JVM.

You carefully avoid allocation.
