I mean this is the same as cost of living adjusted salaries. Same work, less pay just based on geographical location.
The funniest thing to me is YouTube's autoplay. I usually watch videos split into multiple parts (Lecture Part 1, Lecture Part 2, etc), but YouTube's algo is too smart to figure out that after part 1 I would probably like to watch part 2 and not some other random video. Sometimes it's so smart that it autplays part 4 after part 1, then part 5, and then 2. It's truly an incredible algorithm.
I used to self host everything (nextcloud) but it was a pain, so I stopped. I just use google drive and fastmail because Im locked in with my fastmail email addresses. Firefox is still the privacy browser, despite its recent dying gasps it still goes hard. Ive taken to just doing things the frictionless way as I dont think my personal risk is very high and the extra effort taxes my productivity. E.g. if I let firefox store passwords (in addition to keepass) I can instantly log in everywhere, but anyone/thing on my PC could hijack my life. There is no single right approach, only various tradeoffs. Time and effort being spent causes direct harm, vs only risk of an inconvenience like identity theft. If I need to really cover my tracks I use tails and tor, but the better opsec is just not to do anything illegal/embarassing in the first place. I use windows because gnu/linux is too distracting to be my daily driver (endless config and rough edges and too easy to lose data, and windows has better bare metal gaming experience for competitive), though I've had several years using as my primary os. I use iDrive to clone all my data as a fire back up.
There is not just that. Another big reason is that youtube, despite all theirs tries, have never been able to separate their music part for which they want to sell subscription, from their video part.

And some of the things they need to do to push subscription on their music premium thingy are contrary to the things they need to keep quality on the video side of things.

For exemple, easily playing the video from an artist channel (or the many channels publishing music in a genre or publishers etc ... like Suicidesheep, NCS, Proximity, ...) is not something they want.

So what did they do ? They removed the "play all" from the "uploads" page of a channel. This button played what was essentially a playlist of all the uploads of the channel, also allowing you all the playlist tool (repeat, shuffle, ...). Because you're supposed to do that through a youtube music (or red, or whatever the name is now) subscription, they gutted it, and now there is no way to easily watch all the videos of a channel unless the channel owner curates it himself into a playlist.

(usually, music publisher channels have a playlist by genre/subgenre, or artists one by album etc..., and had the automatic "uploads" playlist for all of it, so they did not have a specific playlist for everything)

As a side effect, you can't do that on video channel either anymore, oupsie !

(the reason I believe it was done on purpose for music is because there is no gain to change that for video channel, quite the contrary: if you use that feature on a video channel not only are they retaining you, but they should also be able to target you much more accurately with their ads, eg if I'm watching all of "mandalore gaming" videos then video games ads are clearly for me)

Literally knowing how twitter codebase works. Knowing about existing issues and workarounds for them. You wont find this knowledge in other companies.

Sure, but it takes awful lot of time if there is no one around to explain you stuff. By awful time, I mean really a lot of additional time.
This is also the problem when asking companies to publish salary brackets:
A lot of them have teams in which people with almost identical profile have a 30% or higher salary difference.

Nice article! Just a weird question, which theme are you using? I liked it, so I tried to check the source code in your GitHub, because your are using a `.github.io` domain I assumed you were using GitHub Pages to host the blog, however I didn't find it in your repo, which is really weird.
Re enable it then. Problem solved.
> Frontend developers […] do not value performance at all.

I do not think that’s restricted to front-end developers. Back-end developers rarely worry about inserting yet another http request in code called from user action in a web browser, for example. A tenth of a second here, a tenth there, it all adds up.

Product managers and users also don’t seem to care much or do not know how fast modern hardware is. I’ve frequently seen web page refreshes take 5 seconds or more without getting any user complaint, even when I explicitly ask them, and tell them how that could easily be halved.
Weird. I thought we all this work from home and giving up offices it would make sense to use wework the times you do get together.

At least that is what we are doing.
Money is just a form of accounting for value creation. Should people stop creating value to each other? I do not think so. People who only want to extract value of course do not want any credible accounting because then they would lose.

It's not really based on location. It's based on competition. Location is one of the factors in salary competition.
See my above comment above yours as I think it is linked: youtube made some clear changes to "break" the ability to follow an artist's music easily without subscribing to their paying music thingy, and because they never succeeded at properly separating music and video, it affects videos too.

It used to always properly recommend the next part of a video like the case you mention, and even recommend previous part if you arrived on part 2 without seeing part 1 etc ...

In usage, and even in formal documentation, I'd expect "There're" to be way less common than "There's" even when there's a plural involved.

I'd expect most people to either avoid the awkward contraction (probably most likely) or handle the plurality "incorrectly".
So 96% can be pushed over? Lol, no wonder companies try this over and over again.

China gets dramatically more power from Hydro or wind than nuclear, even solar is about to pass nuclear.

2020 ultra low carbon sources GWh: Hydro: 1,355,200, Wind: 466,500, Nuclear: 366,200, Solar: 261,100

That’s an increase from 2019 of Wind: 15.1%, Solar: 16.6%, Hydro: 4.1%, Nuclear: 5% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_China

Coal is still king, but it fell from 81% of total electricity in 2007 down to 62% in 2020 mostly due to renewables not nuclear.
I always wonder if the world would be a better or worse place if all salaries where forced to be made public by law.

This is not new, merely ignored:

"What's the origin of the phrase 'Hard cases make bad law'?

... 'Hard cases make bad law' isn't so much a universal proverb as a legal adage. It came to light in a comment made by Judge Robert Rolf in the case of Winterbottom v Wright in 1842:

This is one of those unfortunate cases...in which, it is, no doubt, a hardship upon the plaintiff to be without a remedy but by that consideration we ought not to be influenced. Hard cases, it has frequently been observed, are apt to introduce bad law.

The case required a judgment on whether third parties are able to sue for injury. The unusual nature of the case caused the judge to realise that, in the true sense of the expression, exceptions prove the rule and that, unfair as it might have appeared in some circumstances, the law was better drafted under the influence of the average case rather than the exceptional one.

The point was made explicitly in 1903 by V. S. Lean, in Collectanea:

Hard cases make bad law. that is, lead to legislation for exceptions."

Ability doesn't equal value to the company. If you have Einstein in and all he does is sweep your floors, you pay him a floor sweeper's wage. You pay for value.
You marry for the benefits, you divorce because of the rampant adultery and loneliness. Every military couple I have known has divorced, and in each case it was adultery that lead to that. On either side of the marriage.

I never went into the armed forces, but I had considered the US NAVY even got my ASVAB and was told I would be assigned Navy Nuke, but on the drive home from the processing facility, the recruiter was bragging about all the sex I would be having around the world. He was saying that knowing that I was in a long term relationship. That really put me off joining.
Executing on these platforms is so incredibly expensive compared to FTX and Binance. Availability is an issue - when chain is congested, fees skyrocket and it takes forever to get out. You can't short or leverage.

Of course, in reality, you can't get your money from FTX either. But in current shape of crypto, there is certainly a point to having centralised exchanges.

>On the other hand, they are not going to look at the clock and say "hey my contract is 40 hours I am gonna call the union!". Like it or not, this part is destroying us.

Did you come straight outta 1850?

This is not destroying is at all. We used to work this much in the US. We fought against this back when and gained labor rights and had growth and productivity since then along with quality of life.

When you bring a country up to a middle class life this happens. Middle class jobs don't get more productive when you do them 80 hours a week rather than 40.
Just imagine how Facebook can invest 36b on metaverse. It is not hard for company to invest for future returns, that's how it works. ByteDance is not lack of money, it has investors pushing its doors to hand over money to them, and they are very profit organization already.

Not that I know first-hand, but that's not the impression I got from the med students when I was at uni.

People find all sorts of odd ways to cope with their own mortality, and getting reminded of it tends to bring those to the fore.

Another possibility, if it's a matter of passing callback parameter that must be sync where you wish it could be an async function, is that the callback can be the `put_nowait()` method of an async queue. You can then have a background async task that pulls from that queue and does async stuff.

This works well if the callback is just there to notify you about a result (which is the most common case in fairness) but doesn't really work if the callback is meant to synchronously determine and return a result that is then used within the function that's calling the callback.
Degrowth necessarily implies population control - you can't reduce sum consumption if population keeps growing, as there is a lower bound on the amount of consumption a single person can live off. And population control necessarily implies government control of reproduction, which sets a precedent for controlling other aspects of people's lives.

I am not sympathetic towards the degrowth movement, since the "solutions" they provide create more problems than they solve. Killing all humans would also solve the climate problem, but it doesn't make it a good decision.
Support Firefox. The last independent browser resisting Google. I don't need to list all the things that Google are doing to undermine the web and adblocking. Safari is also fine in my book, but it's obviously proprietary and you may not trust Apple. Enable strict HTTPS and use an adblocker.

Encrypted cloud storage is fine but it's simply not convenient and sadly lacks good usability.

If you don't trust your ISP, use a VPN. Ideally a VPN you have full control over.

Social media needs and deserves to be handled separately from the rest of your life. Firefox Containers are one way for handling this. Or use Qubes if you deeply worry about advanced attacks.

Finally, use a different e-mail for each site you register for. This can be transparently automated using Firefox Relay or Apple's Hide My Email.

Of course, everything above are what I consider lightweight protections. There are heavier measures. Whatever you do, it's important to be clear about _who_ you want to keep your data private from. Because that entity may have more than way to gain access to your data. There is no such thing as absolute privacy in the virtual or physical world.
Here's what I can recall:

The big idea is diminishing marginal returns – increasing societal complexity pays off enormously at first, but eventually the returns level off while the overhead remains high or even continues to increase. Collapse is then seen as a natural (and not necessarily cataclysmic) response to this. It's a process of simplification.

Tainter also points out that collapse may not occur (1) when there are strong, neighboring powers, which simply absorb the foundering society, or (2) when there are strong cultural reasons, such as national identity, for which the members of the society may be willing to put up with the bureaucratic overhead indefinitely (in order to prevent being absorbed); he gives Europe as an example, I believe.
> degrowth

> it is impossible to convince societies to take massive quality-of-life reductions

What about sustainable growth focused on actual quality of life and not on perpetuating a system that produce/consume useless cheap low quality gadgets and services for the sole purpose of keeping the population at work 8 hours a day until they hit 65/67 years old (age by the time 25% of the poorest are already dead)

The fact that we (may have) decoupled growth and co2 doesn't mean all growth is progress or that all growth is desirable.

Oh, I have a similar story from a local country-leading job portal. I tried to persuade them to invest in embedding-based search instead of the category (which is often wrong and ambiguous by both advertisers and searchers) + keywords, but '2 people for 1 quarter to demonstrate a prototype able to be tested in production' seemed too risky for the management, despite having really cool results from the offline prototype :/.

The risk of missed opportunity is harder to visualize and thus rarely considered.
Unless there's a global GDP graph showing the same, we're not decoupled.

Or, you could say, we're in an era of weak decoupling where high-tail QoL can be marginally improved without negative env. externalities. That isnt "strong decoupling" where the bulk of QoL improvements around the world lie.

We're interested in GDP growth because it's highly correlated with QoL. Rich-world marginal QoL improvements aren't interesting, nor is their alleged decoupling.

The economist here says the world can get rich from services... er, No. For 80% of the population they dont need more services to improve QoL.

Reading the article leaves me with a taste of self-delusion as a society.

I mean, we take 3 pollution parameters very limited in time and space, we see how they decrease, and we open the bottle of champagne to celebrate...

If we don't look at the big picture, we are fooling ourselves, and in my opinion only degrowth will save us, just keep in mind that previous societies that consumed fewer resources collapsed for exhaustion of resources in relatively short periods of time (but long in human terms).

Is it difficult to convince people of degrowth? Absolutely. But we either degrow or we will be degrowth.
