It is not necessary true. A better way to say it is identifying which habits are purposeful and goal oriented and which hedonistic. Which are at the intersection. Review both! And maybe having zero hedonistic habits (like the odd TV binge even) is too strict a lifestyle for most.
We don't talk in maximally compressed strings; a bit of redundancy in grammar helps make sure people can understand each other. The fact that spellcheckers are possible doesn't mean our language is too sparse and wasteful.

>The problem with mapping paradigms to performance is that none of the paradigm purists care about performance, end of the day they care about theoretical purity.

It's not theoretical purity. It's more tech debt. How do I code things in a way where there's zero tech debt. Such that all code can be re-used anywhere at anytime.

Good luck with the mill, heh. My wife is an almost perfect opposite to me. She is very patient, calm. I got super lucky. The only person I ever dated. She has an innate capacity for tolerating me. And my son, who is also deep with ADHD. She never judged me for all my bullshit over the years either. I think having kids younger was both terrible and great for me. It forces me to focus and take career seriously, but it was also really hard.

Grooming - getting your hair cut regularly, wearing well-fitting clothes that aren't worn out, bathing every day - is also generally a bunch of optional habits, but if you want to be taken seriously and treated well in modern society, they are also needs. Some people choose not to invest as much time and energy into it and others can tell. It's treated as such an important signifier that many physicians make a note of it in your records!

For some people even social media is similar, because it's an essential tool for networking and getting business done. Terrifying, perhaps, but unfortunately true at this point.

Two hypotheses:

(1) There’s a lack of immunity to some old respiratory viruses that mutate every year. Should be back to normal in 1-2 years.

(2) COVID has made people more aware of respiratory illness in general. It has introduced basically everyone to the idea (and habit) of testing themselves. This means more people reporting, and more stories written about it. Whether this is a truly unusual spike (as opposed to being just seasonal) I’d be interested to know.

The way I see it, Slack is built like a virtual open office, and it does that well. If you enjoy working at some open office and can focus with sales people barking close to your ear, you will enjoy Slack.

Slack may seem modern, but it became legacy software the moment WFH became widespread. It's a tool that actively works against your focus, which is one of the main benefits of not working at some office. This is not always intentional since the notification system is shoddy and struggles to sync devices.

Also, I turn off notifications for pretty much everything, but it doesn't prevent some teammate from messaging me during lunch for non urgent stuff despite having made it clear I'm "away". Slack cannot fix stupid, in fact it makes it worse. We should create tools that make us smarter instead.

I think I ran into this "can't supply enough power" state last week. I was coming to the end of my ride, battery was around 15%. I was trying to slow down for a light that was turning red. I just couldn't make it slow down, and ended up hanging a right turn at 8mph then continued to speed up until 19mph. (in the mode I ride in, it's supposed to be limited to 12mph). It was terrifying. I was actively trying my best to slow down the entire time, but the board was going fast. After 15 or so seconds of this I bailed and walked away with a bit of road rash.

Totally different scenario from the CPSC complaint. But, yes, another way these machines are dangerous.

We have had a similar experience, spanning over several months, where even updating the application and giving instructions on how to test it didn't trigger any reaction (just the same repetitive mail: "Your app does not comply with Google Play rules ...").

When I mean "give instructions on how to test it" : we created a test subscription on our platform, sent instructions on how to register and see what our app is doing, and our logs showed that no one attempted to go to that test subscription.

We also asked ourselves if we were exchanging emails with a human or a robot, and couldn't reach a conclusion.

Agree. Near a building under construction I was on my Boosted board riding along probably around 6-8 mph and couldn't see a water hose that was strung across the road, and went flying off. I was in protective gear and probably would have otherwise had some kind of head trauma. I've skiied and bicycle regularly so those played in to me not breaking anything.

I wasn't brave enough to turn the speed maximum up beyond the regular setting.
Umm, I didn’t have a great experience with Poetry. For starters, I wanted to create a separate virtual env to install Poetry in and have Poetry install the project’s dependencies in a separate virtual env. There was simply no way to do that and I didn’t wanna install Poetry globally on my machine. I also didn’t wanna use docker just for this, so I realized that Poetry could just not be for me.

Who was questioning that? No one, thanks for noticing.

> This is the premise of FOSS, which makes no claims as to how maintainers must communicate with collaborators or how projects must be maintained.

It is not, however, any protection against criticism about what they choose to do with that project. If you open source a program that actively harms any or all of the groups the Lemmy project is (ostensibly) trying to protect in its claim, would that protect you from criticism? Not in the slightest.

Again, thanks for noticing.

You need to think along the dimension of time. A centralized exchange (or really any entity that has the concept of an account) has a liability to each user of that user's account balance. (The contents of those balances are assets for the user not the exchange).

Now in crypto (and finance in general) users tend to leave their assets with the exchange and trade between different assets over time.

The temptation for the centralized exchange becomes - well our users aren't gonna come claim their assets all at once, so let's make their trading notional and put the customer asset to work for our own interest. If someone wants a withdrawal we'll figure out how to make it happen.

Now this is how a bank can offer a savings account but also underwrite mortgage, business and auto loans using the savers capital. Thru numerous failures the traditional financial system has been regulated to a point where banks usually don't blow up too badly (they totally still do though.)

FTX ramped up putting users money to work to insane levels. At some point user funds were used to bail out a margin call that Alameda Research (Sam bankman fried's other company - a hedge fund) faced. At this point both companies became zombies and once a balance sheet leaked to the press, the crypto community realized their money was long gone.

Fascinating stuff! How was it demonstrated that 2^67 - 1 was composite without providing a factorization?
Imagine the flipside though. Imagine you work every day of the week. Surely this would have lower productivity than having one day or two days of weekend unless we are to believe weekends don't have a rejuvinating effect. If you have a problem where a segment of your workforce is slacking off on the last day (whatever that may be), that is its own problem that will exist unless you have no days off (which would obviously be pathological and most likely illegal for other reasons). So I find this argument a bit trite, because it either already applies to your situation regardless, or you work at a company where people simply don't slack off the last day. And I do think this whole "people slack off on the last day" thing is very trumped up. I've seen plenty of examples of people finishing what they were expected to get done and tuning out at the end of the week, but I've seen much more scenarios where people have an unending mountain of work and their efficiency goes way down later in the day on thursday and for all of friday. I think this is the norm in most industries, and it can be solved with a 4-day work week.

It's just a bit strange that importing notes from Evernote is a premium feature, so you can't even try it out properly before paying. There should at least be a free trial.

I quit Amazon a couple weeks ago to start a startup, and I felt like I was reading my own story at some points. The tooling was the biggest thing dragging me back. It's hard to get excited about what you are building when you have to wait 2-4 minutes to preview your changes when most industry standard tools / stacks can do it instantly.

I left this feedback a bunch of times with different people in the org and I really hope they scrap their janky "frameworks" and dev tooling. They should just move to more standard open source tools options that evolve and get better quicker than barely maintained internal tooling.

Open Source tools also have bigger communities and resources online to debug and solve issues, compared to mediocre documentation from internal wiki. If absolutely needed, make thin wrappers above open source tools. Some other teams within Amazon had the luxury of using better tools, but I bet a lot of people are in the shoes I was in.
