Same here. I went from 2-5k to 15k, in some days even 20k steps per day.

I incorporated walking into my daily habits. Before I would bike, take the subway. Now I simply walk. If there is a call, I dial in with no video.
I ended up writing my own "sweeping" tool, as their support for this is (TLDR) limited: https://github.com/Wingman4l7/autosweepy

Unfortunately I can't test it or keep it updated anymore because, despite giving them many hundreds of dollars in legitimate eBay business fees, I was perma-banned without recourse (and in the process, I had to manually find via my bank a $1000+ clawback transfer they did but could not find in their system anywhere, and give them the info, so they could find it and eventually return it).
yeah.. sometimes you do need to sit under a tree, or on the beach with a paper notebook and no internet connection.

But I also think we [ the species ] need a way to discuss ideas which cant be turned off at a whim by a single rich or powerful person or organization.

Mastodon may not be that thing [ yet or ever ] .. but there is some hope that it might be that thing for a while.

Ouch! I haven’t fenced in a few years but IIRC that’s a red-card penalty (hitting the back of the head).

I was always fairly invested in not being an asshole so I never back-flicked in a tournament until I was 95% sure I could pull it off (practice on willing accomplices ofc).
These days I'm a fan of Calysto Scheme:

"Performance topology" sounds like some interesting jaargon I could learn. Know any good books on it?
Curious what you mean by "best place to be".

Are you asking:
"what's the most secure job?"
"where will I make the most money?"
"what's most exciting?"
"what's the next big thing?"
"big company vs startup?"
Laws apply to humans, who read the CDC website for both health information and guidance on compliance. When the US declared a Covid emergency in 2020, specific laws were invoked, some of which require policy input from HHS, including the CDC. Government agencies routinely interpret laws for application in specific circumstances. Such agency interpretations carry legal weight and real-world consequences. CDC definitions are not changed often, or casually.
What is reactive programming and state management
Hi! I've been researching reactive programming for 4 years now, while developing my hobby project, a state manager.

I see a lot of misleading posts around this topic, so I gathered all my thoughts into the article and want to share it and discuss.
This could be part of why work from home doesn't work for me. I missed having spacious work areas, given my crammed apartment unit. I can simulate the walking for travel to work but that comes in bursts at set times, unlike just walking within a building anytime I feel like it.
In Austria, the booster was mandatory (otherwise you would not be allowed to participate in any social life) even for young people.

Why? Because it's a more grave and imminent threat, and the jurisprudence around first amendment vs prior restraint against publishing of classified material is around balancing of concerns, with prior restraint justified in cases of "direct, immediate or irreparable harm to our Nation or its people". It's not a black and white line, the degree of harm matters.

"Everything else that is currently export controlled" has not been litigated (but note that we are only concerned here with limits on the export of expressive text, not for example actual armaments). The one case where restrictions on the export of software by ITAR was litigated - Bernstein v. United States Department of States (District Court of California) (1997) - the District Court ruled the regulations in question were an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech and issued a declaratory judgement preventing the government from enforcing the ITAR in question against DJB or anyone else seeking to use, discuss or publish his encryption code.
No, a company uses chapter 11 bankruptcy specifically to restructure debt and continue operating under the current management.
The whole debacle reeks of someone who is used to being the smartest person in the room and using it for manipulation. Unfortunately he has reached a point where intelligence is no longer needed to see the end result (thousands cannot withdraw from their accounts), and no amount of manipulation is going to change that.

The nonsensical tweets are like watching a sociopath short-circuit when he gets caught in his own trap.
> Did you forget the $5B/yr they make from advertisers?

They…don’t. Their last quarterly numbers had a hair over $1B in advertising revenue, and that was both a quarterly and year-over-year increase, so they weren’t making more than $4B/year from advertising before Musk took over. Their advance sales were bad for next year because of the potential of the Musk takeover, and big accounts have backed out, and big agencies publicly advised clients to back out of the platform, based on what has gone on since the takeover.
I agree with you — some of my best meetings have been walking — but it's less natural in the era of remote work.
To be fair, Elon forced it by creating an offer with zero wiggle room, no possibility of backing out and a billion dollar penalty. Nobody made him do that and no sane lawyer would have allowed it unless specifically instructed. Once that was done the board had a fiduciary responsibility and they basically had to hold him to it.
A healthy mix? Or maybe where to be for each?
come on. its not "that bad". i knew when i started, that outlook and gmail were going to be a problem but i made calls, i had people recieve email on those providers which would go into spam and i would call them to mark as not spam. one time i accidentally sent a bunch of emails with attachments to gmail and got spam. called some people, tomorrow everything was fine.

I've been doing for 2 years now. Mailinabox. occasionally using a one line terminal command to update the system but other than that, smooth sailing.

my only gripe. domain buying/administration should NOT BE THAT HARD for beginners.... its 2023 almost and setting up a domain is very difficult for new users...

i excensively use email alises and filters, something not possible in gmail or others (yahoo mail has that for free) and just that has made the whole thing worthwhile for me.

email aliases are charged an arm and a leg compared to other features but in your own systems, its great
I've been purposely ignoring crypto news and drama for the past couple years. Seemed so pointless. But this FTX thing blew up so big it took over all my feeds and I decided to learn about the company and the founder. Had zero clue about any of this stuff like 10 days ago. What a saga.
Maybe date related code calls out to the operating system to find your time zone, and maybe that can't be done in parallel.

Cats, dogs and other carnivores: far neater and straighter teeth than humans?
My default walking speed is brisk but comfortable. I walk usually two to three hours per day, sometimes broken up across multiple walks but often in one go. According to my phone, my average pace is roughly 3.5mph (but I'm not sure how accurate that is). I also live in a hilly area and spend relatively little time on flat ground but hills don't seem to affect my walking pace nearly as much as they affect cycling pace.
Its a pity that you feel it is some made-up nonsense and doesn't reflect the world in some way. Helps us give a different perspective on how or what things are. But that is alright, different things appeal to different people.

It doesn't matter one bit to the things/ideas whether we believe in them or not. It matters to us what we believe in.
95%+ of property managers use deposits for operations
If y'all are shocked about SBF and the crypto industry misusing customer deposits, I'd like to bring attention to an even bigger fraud of an industry. The rental/property management space is so dirty... less than 5% of the players can even reconcile their books let alone understand that security deposits in their bank accounts aren't funds they can just borrow from to operate their business.

Why do you think every renter has a bad feeling when they move in and hand over the security deposit funds and think "I don't think I'm ever seeing this ever again?" It's cus those funds were used to pay back the previous tenant moving out (at best) or better yet, they return a portion of the previous tenant's deposit while pocketing cleaning and "move out" fees.

Security deposits are the perfect Ponzi scheme cus there's never a "run on the bank" style event where every tenant moves out at once. Even so, every once in a while, the shitty managers dip so low that they can't even refund the <10% of tenants moving out each month.

Anyone reading this want to help me shine a light on my industry, dm or reach out! I'm not hard to find and I'm happy to be an open book. My company (apmhelp.com) helps 1k+ PM companies with accounting, finance, and automation and we see everything.
As a kiwi let me tell you, there's a lot of revisionist history happening with regards to Maori in progressive circles. theconversation.com is a VERY progressive publication.
I think the failing is believing there can be a "One True Architecture" in the first place.

A bunch of best practices around data handling, security, and general application architecture for specific use cases is useful.

Do my great new idea now or lose out is really awful and I've witnessed that kind of belief do irreparable harm to companies.

There's some parallel here to draw between the "new tech hotness" that appears every few years and the dancing fever plagues.

It’s much worse than that. Selling the verification check mark to anyone with $8 poisoned the platform instantaneously.

It’s a bit like the DMV suddenly starting to sell driver licenses without any proof that you are who you say you are. Immediate erasure of the trustworthiness of any driver’s license, forever.

I cannot imagine that Musk was not aware or made aware of this consequence. He did it anyway.

Possibly after firing the people who warned him.

How much of what that article says is true? I understand that Elon is destroying twitter but it was reported that the drop in the Eli Lily stock was because they lost some patent litigation and not the fake tweet. I don’t know what to believe now.

should say [1986] essay

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit
Original comparison was discussing how writing words with a pencil that exist already and aren't your original creation isn't drawn art, and a response was given that seemed to imply photographs were pictures capturing something that they didn't create, implicitly prompting the suggestion that just because you didn't create the subject of the art doesn't mean it's not art.

If you take a picture of a stone fountain and claim the photograph is art, is it copyright infringement because you didn't sculpt the fountain?
I think this is an interesting topic worth discussing, but also I don't think it's related to your post I replied to, which claimed that ZFC doesn't presuppose any more primitive kind of collection.

> sets of beer mugs

Set theory doesn't admit anything other than sets. Based on the way you're describing things, you'll need to encode each mug as a set, just as we encode numbers themselves as sets. But that's rather unnatural, and mathematicians generally go about their business without worrying about such encodings. They work with the axioms of their setting instead, comforted merely that they could find a model of their constructions in set theory if they really cared to carry out the encodings required.

Confusingly, the "group" and "set" in "group theory" and "set theory" are referring to different parts of the theory. Group theory posits a universe with entities called elements, which when used in certain ways do nice things. Set theory posits a universe with entities called sets, which when used in certain ways do nice things. In one, a "group" is the universe; in the other, a "set" is a constituent of the universe.

If you wanted your mugs to be a model of set theory, the same way we say that something is a group (is a model of group theory), you'd need to somehow prove that your collection of mugs satisfies the ZFC axioms. I don't think "is this mug an element of that mug" is the kind of question you're hoping to model, so your mugs are probably not a model of set theory.

Your mugs might be a model of the theory of preorders, if you deign to order them by their fluid capacity.

> Whereas for a category it's just impossible to get started - should my beer mugs be objects or arrows?

It sounds like what you want is some kind of "mug theory", and the sibling comment has it right in asking what you want to model about mugs. The common thread with all of these theories is that you state first-order axioms, and then work with those axioms freely ignorant of whatever choice of model somebody might come along with that satisfies those axioms.

This is really no different than what we do in something like Java. We define interfaces (theories) capturing the things we want to be able to do with objects, and worry later about what implementations (models) actually meet the requirements. If you want to work with mugs in Java, what are you going to do but define a new type with the operations you need?

There's no reason to expect that some other interface is going to just happen to meet your needs. Not even set theory; not even category theory.

To me, learning is an incremental process. Because the goal of learning to me, is to understand though problem solving, not the other ways around.
I personally view anyone trying to design an application from the start using microservice architecture to be doing premature optimization. Microservices are meant to solve a scaling problem.

Yes, design your applications in a modular way such that it becomes readily possible to stub parts of it out when the time comes. Don't start with a microservice focus or you're just begging someone else to beat you to market.
BTW, this isn't a FAANG/Ivy League thing. In fact, I expect that it's even more common in a lot of other areas. Friend of a friend jobs are incredibly common. If you're just trying to navigate the system from the complete outside by handing your resume around, you're at an incredible disadvantage.
Is there any Silicon Valley personality left who has an unquestionable/undamaged credibility/legacy ?
I live in Germany and have lived in Austria before (I lived in the German speaking countries since 2005). I have 2 native born Berliner children who speak German as their mother tongue. I speak German just fine for my day to day interactions but legalese German for corporate use with the government isn’t the same as everyday German (I also run a company here).

I manage anyway, but im sure this unnecessary friction is one of the factors in reducing entrepreneurship in Germany (my native tongue isn’t English but like everyone these days I learned English very early in life and still speak it better than German).

Ultimately it would be better for Germany to reduce friction for economic activity as much as possible. As others said you can register a company in Estonia without being fluent in Estonian. There is nothing inherently different about German or Germany except that they don’t care as much as Estonia does to encourage (or at least not discourage) entrepreneurship.

In general I wish “old Europe” would have been subjected to the same requirement for reform and modernization as the former communist countries were as a condition when they joined the EU. And generally for some Germans to drop the attitude that they’re better than Eastern Europeans - nobody is suggesting this with malicious intent, it’s meant to make things better for everyone in Germany - including Germans themselves.
I'm not sure everyone here is talking about the same thing when they talk about caching but if you took caching out of the modern Internet it would collapse immediately. There's caches in your CPU, there's caches in your disk drives, there's caches in Linux, there's caches in every layer of every major cloud service, there's caches in your network (CDN).

If your CPU had to fetch every instruction and every bit of data from main memory it would run x100 slower. If your disks didn't have caching they'd generally run slower. If Linux didn't cache your filesystem it'd need a lot more disk accesses. etc. etc.

Ofcourse a properly designed cache has to consider things like what are the access patterns, how to figure out what to keep in the cache and what to toss away, how large is the dataset we're caching, invalidation etc. But there's no performance optimization that's going to get that NetFlix movie to 100M subscribers directly from the disk it's stored on, through the network.

Feels like some of the discussion is about something like storing f(x) in a map instead of computing f(x). I wouldn't use this terminology (caching) in this case. This is more like your standard space to time algorithmic tradeoffs.

Key to remember is yet. The internet started as DARPAnet, after all.
> So it is “good” for a company to destroy the thing it spent 15 years building, put all employees out of a job, and harm society in the process, because “shareholder value”

Companies are legal fictions that exist as proxies for their shareholders. Is it good for the shareholders to do things that serve the shareholders shared financial interests? Sure.

Is it good for anyone else? Well, notionally its good for the purpose on the other end of the deal, in that person’s estimation, or the deal wouldn’t exist. “But Musk wanted out of the deal,” you say? Sure, and so maybe in this case it wasn’t good for the counterparty; but its good that we enforce contracts, because people expend resources based on agreements, so its good that people are discouraged from entering into them without due consideration, and enforcement is a key means to do that.

Is it good that we have a system where companies are basically just proxies for capital owners (in some systems, this is not the case, and either employee or public interests are directly represented in firm governance, not just capital ownership)? Maybe not, and that debate is worth having, but this is the system we have.
I love how Elon is supposedly destroying Twitter because he is removing all those thousands of employee he supposedly needs to run it, and then the same people who say that supposedly are fleeing and so happy with the alternative Mastodon, developed for free by a tiny team of volunteers and ran by a few volunteers for free.

Which is it? Can you run Twitter or an alternative basically for free? Or do you need thousands of employees?

I think it is becoming pretty clear pretty quickly that the alternative being run and developed for free doesn’t scale to anywhere near Twitter size at all, that’s one thing that’s for sure.

> I pretty much always saw concern about vaccines framed as a battle for freedom against a tyrannical political party

You don't understand why someone with concerns about the safety of a vaccine might frame the problem not as the existence of a vaccine with tradeoffs other people might want to make, but rather as a political party forcing the decision on everyone? Or are you just being disingenuous? Be better.
"Most of them have screens."

Ha, as if.

"one single person's decision tree is rather irrelevant in the long open game of average spending behaviours."

Sure but collectively is what matters, you can't make such precise arguments from such general behaviors, as you put it it's not about a single person's decision tree.

Your own metrics disagree with your original point.
JPMorgan are starting to sound like they're keeping their collateral in dogecoin or something.
A lot of the discussion on vaccine merit here seems to be exclusively around the relative risks of getting myocarditis for vaccinated, unvaccinated+covid, and vaccinated+covid. I've seen a few different studies linked that point to different results. Some indicate higher risk for unvaccinated+covid than vaccinated for all groups, some indicate the risk of myocarditis in young males (my demographic, fwiw) is higher from vaccines than from covid.

I don't really understand why so much focus is put on myocarditis though when it seems to be incredibly rare for all groups. This was a covid vaccine, not a myocarditis vaccine. Given the other negative effects of covid that are well documented, and especially the possibility of long-term debilitation from covid, I'd have felt secure in getting the vaccine even if I'd known at the time of getting it that it increased the risk of myocarditis by say a whole order of magnitude (which as far as I can tell isn't the case). That said, I don't think it should have been mandated and my gut feeling is that more people would have been convinced of its efficacy had it not been.
If we have robots raise the kids it’s possible. I don’t see why we can’t have migrants if it’s basically a utopia of excess.
