Coca-Cola in plastic bottles taste terrible. That's the irony.
On the other hand, I didn't follow the advice, and instead "Did something I kind of like okay, and can make decent money doing." I've definitely done that, but at the cost of never really chasing down my original dream. Now I'm a crusty old fart and I feel like I could never "do what I love" because I just can't live on entry-level pay anymore--partially due to my lifestyle, but also because I have children, and that's not really an expense you can budget your way out of.

So because I didn't do what I loved while I was young, I've kind of missed the train. I might be able to later in life, but I will have to wait quite a while.
In central London perhaps. But it's by no means important to live actually in London and work in London. Commuter culture is (or at least was) big. Many people commute from the surrounding 100+ miles by train each morning and pocket those London salaries while living in low cost of living areas.
> Maybe if you ignore the weight of contents of the liquid in the bottle.

The liquid has the same weight regardless. The issue is the marginal increase in container mass. This isn't some conspiratorial point, green groups agree.

> The pacific garbage patch isn't filled with glass bottles. It is, however, filled with plastic of all shapes, sizes and forms.

It mostly isn't filled with drink containers either. The plurality is fishing gear, and the next categories by volume are crates and household containers. Besides, it's trivial to just crush and bury the plastic bottles in a landfill, still coming out ahead of glass on the CO2 front.

> Glass bottles don't need BPA and other additives.

Maybe not, but you're probably consuming sugar or alcohol out of them anyway, so I'm hardly getting worked up about BPA.

> I'm not convinced that plastic bottles are truly better when all externalities are factored in.

Shipping glass to be cleaned, then cleaning it, and shipping it again to be refilled spews a ton of CO2. It's obviously worse by miles if you care about climate change. The rest is classic gish gallop.
oh and the last time I wrote in C++, I was using gmake.. all those compiler and linker switches.. header and linker search paths.. ugh.. I felt like I was launching a rocket to the moon just getting some of that to build. don't miss that.. chasing down memory corruption in threads with gdb.. also painful. I get that C++ is much better now, but I haven't really used it in a long time so can't comment.

Ok then why do we recycle paper?

>Burying plastics in landfills is regularly shown to be less desireable than recycling (and even burning with energy recovery while fossil fuels are still in use).

Ok by whom? And what is plastic being recycled into? How many cycles does it go through? And again what's this insane obsession with burning plastic? You don't like it in managed underground landfills, but you love it and it's smoke in your air?

>You've created a world of confusion to justify some vague fossil fuel propaganda you were subjected to. And now you're complaining that people won't listen to your "reasonable" argument.

You've contributed absolutely nothing except a baseless argument.

> So where have all the C++ developers gone? The Stack Overflow Survey 2022 reported almost a drop of almost two percentage points in respondents this past year using C++ (from 24.3% to 22.5%), even while the percentage of professional developers using it rose. The good news, though, is that 34.7% of respondents learning to code are using C++, placing it in the top 6 programming languages of that category.
Sorry, 'no one' is clearly an exaggeration. "Not enough to affect the job market" is a better way of putting it.

In India this was the situation before 2016. Calling was expensive, data was a luxury. All telcos were rent seeking parasites who just wanted to extract as much money from their customers as possible while providing the bare minimum service.

A small company called JIO realised that people actually like it when they are not being abused this way. It launched a cheap service with a very simple payment model. Fast forward 5 years and all the other telcos are bankrupt or nearly there. Data is dirt cheap, calling is free. Even the remaining telcos have switched to the JIO model (and pricing)

The “working hard for a billionaire” narrative is a politicised sneer.

Who are we to judge employees at Twitter like this? In reality, they might be working hard because they believe in the new vision of the company.

Perhaps they believe that free speech in the public square is fundamentally important to democracy and freedom.

Success in their domains greatly outshine the clay.

> The market shot up initially on a 3 line statement in the released notes that was interpreted as beginning of the end of rate hikes.

I'm not sure about that.

My coworkers are arguing that a bunch of people are buying put options, effectively shorting the stock market, in the days prior to these FOMC meetings. At 2pm, the meeting notes come out, and we see that the expected .75% rate happened.

Since that was "expected", all the put options are now sold. That causes the stock market to jump up (since the effective-short positions are liquidated).

Its just a hedge, just in case the numbers come in and the Fed chooses like 1% hike or higher instead of the expected .75%.
On what metrics? Based on what data?

I'm surprised to see the lack of support in the comments. In my take, this article was very well written and goes a long way to describe the refreshing and enlivening aftermath of a peak experience with Psilocybin. It also mirrors the experience of the research subjects at Johns Hopkins.

One study, conducted on terminally ill cancer patients, found that most of them rated it as one of the most important experiences of their lives [1], rating it alongside the birth of their children, their wedding day, etc. Additionally, the depression easing effects were shown to persist up to a year by this study.

I wouldn't be surprised if experiencing one of the most important, enliving, and connective experiences of your life wouldn't go on to reduce depression and anxiety for the rest of your life.

This makes testing changes easier in other ways too: when I make experimental changes, I'm reluctant to commit them until I know they're working, since I like being able to checkout an old commit and know it boots. In practice this means I end up with a dirty checkout, and uncertainty on which changes have been tested.

In theory I could manage this with git rebasing and/or tagging, but in practice I lose confidence in whether I've accurately tracked.

With specialisations, I'd comfortably commit an experimental change to my canary track, even though it might break, safe in the knowledge that the stable track continues to boot.

To a degree, yes, it does matter, because you might need to also understand the context and motivations the other side operates on. If for nothing else, than just so you understand the risks and dangers to your position. And from a more individual standpoint, you might also want to understand the motivations that your government has because they are very unlikely to factor you at all.
I have Verizon prepaid. I pay $26.56 a month including state sales tax.

For that I get…

* Unlimited voice.

* Unlimited SMS.

* “Unlimited” data. The first 5GB/mo is at 5G speeds, the rest at 4G speeds which I typically see between 60-110Mbps.

* Yes, tethering as well.

Post-paid from all carriers is vastly overpriced, and that’s what they push push push. Pre-paid is always cheaper, though you can’t bring some things like a watch along. Check the major carriers, and get over not being able to stream unlimited 4K video in the field.

I’ve been paying that $26.56 a month for years now, and that price has come down at least THREE TIMES since I switched to prepaid many years ago. Think I went from $45 -> $35 -> $30 -> $25 pre-tax over the years.

MVNOs are certainly an option, but just look hard at the major carrier prepaid offerings. They don’t actively advertise them, so, “It’s a secret to everybody.”

Dependabot and GitHub already scan Ruby Gemfiles and lock files and .NET's NuGet package references, among others. They already have the raw data to do it for a number of package ecosystems (and you can see that on repo pages if you go look for it). Starting with npm is clearly obvious because they also own npm, but I wouldn't be surprised if they set similar bars for other package ecosystems that they are aware that they host critical supply chains for.

No. Devs should not test other coders code. Much better to hand it over to dedicated testers or the quality assurance team.

>But one inevitably needs some flat surface, if only just to sign things (it’s not all digital yet), or to eat a snack. So my solution is to have pullouts. If one needs them, pull them out. But one can’t leave them pulled out, so nothing can accumulate on them.

This is a great tip. Get a desk with pull-outs. I have them on the left and right. They're 1/2 an inch think and strong enough to leave a heavy book, laptop, or whatever until you're done. When both sides get pulled out, some paper-heavy task is occurring, such as taxes.

> Yet, such PCB's are trivial to design.

No, analog keyboard PCBs are not trivial at all. You have to keep a lot of things in mind when routing your analog VS digital tracks. Especially if you've got per-key RGB LEDs right next to your hall effect sensors (can be a lot of noise if you don't do it right).

Not only that but you also have to figure out how to get loads of analog sensors into a microcontroller that may only have 4 analog pins (e.g. RP2040). In a way that can be scanned fast enough for 1ms response times (again, without generating a ton of noise).

It's not so simple like an electromechanical keyboard PCB which is quite trivial.

> For an example of complex design one can look at such things as almost any dynamic RAM implementation, from SDR to DDRn. Timing, signal integrity and power integrity are a big deal and can make a massive difference in performance and reliability.

...except 99% of all PCBs aren't that complicated. You don't need to know the specifics of RF in order to design a board that controls some LEDs.

So much good advice here. Just want to say as someone who has gone through this, burnout takes so much longer to recover from than you think. The sooner you make changes to start to address it, the sooner you'll get through to the other side. Don't waste any time waiting to take action, your wellbeing is the most important thing. And be patient and kind with yourself, it can be a long journey with ups and downs, but you can get through it.
A lot of the malware targeting developers is leveraging the installation hooks as the execution mechanism. So sandboxing the install helps stop this particular attack vector - which is why it gets talked about so much.

If you put code in the package itself, this would side step the "installation" sandbox. However we're also doing analysis of all packages introduced to the ecosystem to uncover things that are hiding in the packages themselves.

So you're right, we need a defense in depth approach here.
Housing prices are very sticky in the downward direction. Sellers really hate taking a hit on their asking price, and they will just stay in the house rather than sell for a long time. It will take years of elevated interest rates before prices start to come down significantly.

Historically Pantone has not charged a fee for Adobe to map the Pantone colorspace because it was advantageous for Pantone to not do so. The rationale being that the more widely available the Palette, the more likely it is to be used in print products.

Today Pantone has decided that it no longer wishes for that information to be shared freely and has compelled Adobe to stop mapping the colorspace by requiring they pay an outrageous per-user fee to do so.

Adobe recognizes that the overwhelming majority of it's users do not need Pantone, even if they're inadvertently or mistakenly using it. So they are unwilling to pay a per-user fee to enable a feature only a small subset of their users actually need.
It's an artifact of IMAP having evolved in the presence of older mailstore technologies like mbox and maildir that couldn't easily accommodate long-term stable message IDs.

This is why the US armed forces focuses so heavily on logistics. Giving your soldiers fresh, basically home cooked, familiar meals in literally the desert does wonders for their morale, and keeping morale high has an absurdly powerful effect on soldier effectiveness.
