Yeah bad (as in unappealing to my palate) expensive wines are bad in an entirely different unique, "expensive tasting" way.
UPS definitely charges different rates for different areas (and even the USPS does somewhat once you get to parcels) but most companies hide this from the buyer to make things simple (even so far as dropping to "free shipping").

Smaller companies often don't want to take a hit on the non-contiguous - but depending on what you're buying the places that DO charge shipping may actually be the cheapest overall.

The fun really comes when you have places in the USA that the post office doesn't even deliver to (in very VERY rural areas, every address is actually a PO Box; you have to drive into town to get the mail and that can be many, many miles). Often UPS and FedEx will think they can deliver, and then determine they can't. Fun times.
See for example:

Mechanical royalties based on exposures and prevalence are already well-established.

I'd suggest a combination of a basic income plus some level of extraordinary royalties, given that writing's reward is exceedingly uneven, both in distribution amongst authors and over time. Present "tentpole" revenues in publishing (and television, film, and music) reflect this within a market context, where blockbusters support far smaller, often much higher-quality (from a literary, cinemographic, or musical sense) works. A replacement scheme should offer a similar mechanism.

Alternatively, a bidding system in which tranches of works are offered differing levels of compensation, based on various quality-criteria assessments, genres, and classes of works, might be used. Meme-generation and investigative journalism, for example, should arguably not be compensated equivalently.

RMS's "Internet Sharing" proposal (2012) suggests a popularity-based mechanism:

I propose instead to pay each artist according to the cube root of his or her popularity. More precisely, the system could ascertain the popularity of each work, divide that among the work's artists to get a figure for each artist, then compute the cube root of that figure, and set the artist's share in proportion to that cube root.

The effect of the cube root stage would be to increase the shares of moderately popular artists by reducing the shares of superstars. Each individual superstar would still get more than an individual non-superstar, even several times as much, but not hundreds or thousands of times as much. Shifting the funds towards moderately popular artists means that a given total sum will adequately support a larger number of artists. Furthermore, the money will do more good for the arts because it will go to the artists who really need it.

I think it's evidence that many people have very bad diets.
Agreed, they have different qualities. Still, characteristics don't automatically translate to people preferring the expensive one because it's "better", it's only "different". Individual taste preferences introduce a high degree of variance.
Can't speak much to the soil health side of things - though I know there's quite a few companies doing that.

I was mainly involved in the logistics side of things - moving & tracing livestock, fruit. Long and the short of it most people, solutions and systems just assume always-on internet, which as you can imagine in remote regions is not a reality (even if it's a reality within range of the farmhouse router with starlink, the front gate could be miles away).
Probably difficult and expensive to consistently burn the field down.
I had read about that fractional pixel online, and the bit does seen to exist in the vram (3 bits color, 3 bits intensity, one other bit).

I don't think it ever got implemented all the way through. If it works as described, it should cause the right edges of polygons to appear with higher resolution than the left edges, particularly on black (blank) background. I've got an I, Robot in my living room and have looked for this visual difference and can not see it. Doodle City even provides the opportunity to move and rotate objects, so even with direct control of object and orientation I can't see it.

Apparently there were other things that never got finished with the game too.
I loved judo for this reason, although BJJ might be less dangerous. Exhausting; You take hits (unvoluntarily… maybe); You learn gestures. And more importantly: You learn with your body. I think our bodies demand to be used ;)

Socrates was right! There’s no mind without a strong body! (for a man at least).
This is a huge field in additive manufacturing. One of the most promising solutions is in-situ process monitoring to identify defects that may occur, often using machine learning.
My two cents: Beyond meat is struggling because it's products aren't good. We had a "meat"-loaf made with Impossible meat last night and it was pretty good. I'm consistently convinced I could hand someone an Impossible burger (maybe with cheese, on a roll, with some ketchup), and they would not identify that it was not beef if they were not looking for an excuse to complain. The industry needs time to find it's footing and to bring costs down with scale, but I expect that'll happen slowly but surely.
Last week in a code review I got a "please add unit tests for this code" comment. The person who wrote that comment wasn't aware that this was a refactoring where the functionality was well tested.

There is no substitute for reviewers who really understand the code in question. The problem is they are the ones writing the code and so are biased and not able to give a good review.
The (always insightful) Joel Spolsky discusses this in his essay "The Developer Abstraction Layer"

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/04/11/the-development-ab...

Bottom line, what is necessary for a business to run requires a lot more infrastructure that you, as a developer, will not enjoy maintaining. Here, I'm not talking about infrastructure just in the sense of what Heroku gives you, but marketing, billing, dealing with customers, keeping track of bug fixes, release engineering work, etc.
As @flockonus noted, i'm also curious how you solved your cognition issue. If you're comfortable sharing, would love to learn!
Just dumping my thoughts on the topic in general;

H1B is quite problematic in its design for sure, a sensible approach would be to determine the need for a certain job group / skill set and give people relatively long residence permits (i.e. 5 years) to come and build a life with the option to naturalise at the end. A skilled worker won’t change professions usually as that is a huge undertaking.

Instead you have company controlled visa structures where market swings can result in quite a bit of losses.

Almost anything can be seen as wage suppression, however creating a healthy market for both parties is much more important than some people significantly earning more at the expense of unfulfilled need.

What a bunch of manipulative bastards. Instead of giving people the freedom to curate their timelines, and educating them how to do so, they prefer to give them spoonfed feeds because "users are lazy". Everyone is lazy, it's basic energy conservation principle, but if people stopped motivating each other to learn we d still be living in caves. Calling people "Normal people" just shows how entitled these devs are
Fascinating, I got a wikipedia box and "no results found"
The facts presented above make your company look very shady, and this answer is not clearing up anything.

Like this most people will have to assume you really just paid off / bribed Brian Quintenz.
People within your borders who are short of cash and have no other options are always going to work. Citizens can only decide whether they work in the white-market or whether they want those people to use crime to survive and/or get exploited in black-market labor.
It’s unethical to hire foreign talent and provide a legal means of entry for high quality immigrants? This is a despicable take and very suspect agenda minded rationalization.
It's worth noting that they primarily pursue this as a pleasurable puzzle, not for any practical payoff to the problem of player primacy:

>We both understood that this was really a "solution looking for a problem" (there are plenty of perfectly acceptable ways to quickly determine who might go first in a game), but mathematically, wouldn't it be great if a set of dice could be created [...]
I’m referring to software engineers in finance? They are definitely looking for the same people.
The amount of biased interest, lobbying, and funding from the meat lobby / industry is stupendous. With all that as a background, we ought to be skeptical of studies that contradict the evidence of high consumption of meat being correlated highly with (and there's good evidence for causal pathways too of) adverse health outcomes.

>"I've long been embarrassed that US immigration law so often errs on the side of xenophobia and cruelty."

The United States has some of the most generous and charitable immigration policies of all countries on Earth. The problem is that the sheer number of people trying to immigrate means that it appears cruel for turning so many people down. Particularly when people don't look into just how restrictive other developed nations are with their own policies.
I feel like there are just not many truly game changing use-cases for a voice-activated assistant.

They only ever seem to be useful if you do not have free hands (e.g. cooking) which is why they are almost exclusively used as timers (at least in my household). I have tried getting it to read a recipe but that's just cumbersome (I often want to have a quick glance at ingredients, not have someone list all of them in slow succession).

Other actions such as "play stranger things on netflix" seem like useful actions at first, but again only really make sense if you are truly busy with your hands (which you would not be if you are on the couch with the remote near-by). Using the remote to turn on the tv and play something on netflix is often not more than two or three button presses (assuming the show is in your 'continue watching' list, which it usually is if it's something you specifically want to watch).

And turning on lights? Again, a novelty. Unless your house is designed in a weird way where your light switches are on opposite ends of the room you are walking into, it's always faster to just flip the switch when walking into the room than shouting out and waiting for your assistant to do it for you (never mind the fact that shouting to turn on the lights during a bathroom run at night would be highly annoying to other household members).
The Christmas gifts for the family!

Toys for one, a Nintendo Switch for another, Comic Books for me, and something for the partner (I don't know yet what it will be...).
That's cool but how could you even afford to study again? Money saved up?
> Sure some abuse occurs in H1b, but it has also been the path of entry for many immigrants.

You are not even remotely addressing the concerns of the person you are replying to. Saying the program is a "path of entry for many immigrants" while true doesn't in any case obviate the fraud, in fact it's true even in cases of fraud, it's a tautology.

There are ENTIRE multi-billion dollar businesses that are entirely based on immigration fraud. This last fiscal year TCS alone made nearly $5B in profit on more than $25B in revenue, and their entire business model is based on immigration fraud. The entire WITCH segment (Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL) are structured to enable, support, and advance immigration fraud for profit.

> US tech workers are among the highest paid occupations in the nation

This does not obviate wage suppression, it's merely a testament to the real value of technology.

It's been litigated and proven beyond doubt that SV companies engaged in wage-fixing, including FAANGs like Apple and Google, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

This type of behavior was a concerted effort that is provable that was taken to suppress tech worker wages. Immigration fraud is also a pathway to do so.
During covid a friend tried a "smell training" kit from amazon and I bought one too. (pretty fun, with rose, lemon, eucalyptus and clove)

basically, some essential oils of one smell at a time.

Looking at more extensive smell kits, there is a huge jump in price if you get a "master wine aroma kit". They can have many many scents.

It might just be putting names to smells, but I also wonder if you can actually develop or enhance your sense of smell (and therefore the aromatic parts of taste)?
In the UK, betting websites such as e.g. https://smarkets.com/ have often got reasonably liquid & transparent markets for political outcomes and similar.
The thing that grinds my gears (I'm a H1B holder) is that no one really knows the answer to this question, including immigration lawyers who post on linkedin). The general advice is to start the clock the day you are laid off.
Ah, true. Though, tangentially, I had trouble seeing how Chapek could have truly been zinger’s choice from the start. Especially given Iger’s sudden resignation.
Related to this: one thing I saw somebody here say one time is that responsibility without authority is a key to burnout. Having the responsibility to complete a large amount of work without the authority to make the decisions needed for that work can be incredibly disempowering, which can make you feel helpless.

More reason to have small teams, cut out middle management, hire good developers, and trust them to make decisions. Being a code monkey is a recipe for burnout.
I don’t think I could ever tell two different coffee varieties apart, but I can definitely tell good coffee from bad coffee. Though that’s probably mostly about the roast and freshness more than anything. So there’s probably something to it but I imagine most of it is unintentional bullshit.
but musk was a millionaire… it's different if you can buy out the entire company sponsoring you
I've noticed a similar discrepancy in my life: Mental burnout wasn't present in my early, physical-labor jobs. It also wasn't present in my early coding jobs. It only started to appear later in my career when my pay was highest and my actual time spent producing tangible output (whether physical labor or code) was lowest.

One theory is that I became less physically active over time. Exercise is well known to have a protective effect against burnout, and physical labor jobs are a lot of exercise all day. I was also going to the gym much more when I was younger.

Another theory is that my later career burnout came from what studies would call "social defeat stress". I was most burnt out when I spent most of my job time trying to navigate dysfunctional companies, deal with incompetent bosses, and fight against dirty office politics.

Changing to a job where my boss was more demanding but also more competent unexpectedly reduced my burnout symptoms rather than worsening them. Something about being in a socially consistent environment makes everything easier to stomach. On the contrary, being in weird office politics situations where Bob in management gets to insult your work and upend your priorities every week just because he's got a certain title leads to burnout. It's like the burnout is a response to dampen your expectations and efforts in response to situations where more engagement will only produce more stress and frustration.

Physical labor jobs, on the other hand, have a property that more input will usually result in at least some tangible forward progress.
I stop heating when I'm not home, but my home doesn't lose heat very fast. Except for my home office, which seems impossible to heat.

The Way You Think About Value Is Making You Miserable
I can point you to my favourite logic ;-) Here false is defined as

false = (∀x. x)

So in this case, it derives its meaning from whatever the meaning of the ∀ operator is. Its meaning is the result of applying the ∀ operator to the identity operation.

Nobody is questioning that there are different possibilities for logical systems, and different possible semantics for them. The choice of logical system is up to you, and ultimately, part of your assumptions. A proof assistant uses a fixed logical system, and your mathematics needs to fit into this system to be expressible in the proof assistant. Apart from my favourite logic, there are several well-known logical systems commonly assumed to be able to represent all of mathematics more or less faithfully: first-order logic, simply-typed higher-order logic, and dependent type theory.

What I like about my favourite logic is that I believe that all other logics, even quantum logics, can be expressed in it in a straightforward way. This has the advantage that once you expressed your logic in this way, you get the meaning of it for free. Of course, you still need to make sure that this is the intended meaning.
I don’t think gambling is any more escapist than movies, TV, podcasts, games, books, or literally any other form of entertainment. Entertainment is escapism.
Test is definitely a factor in working out and feeling good for all men, but especially young men. Plenty of women enjoy BJJ for many of the same reasons men do though. BJJ is relatively safe. You will end up with injuries, but it is worth it for me as a desk jockey. :)
> I feel like I've lost that passion I had for technology. I don't feel like working in the industry anymore.

I had that about a decade into my career, and left tech.

Gave everything up and joined a community, living 4 years with no personal possessions. Went homeless for a stint. Spent a while living in a room empty but for a mattress on the floor, in a house of drugs and ex-cons. Helped others on the streets through cold turkey.

Tried my hand farming (fruit, veg, chickens, pigs etc). Did a stint pricing up new kitchens. Worked a trade sales counter at a builder's merchant. Ran fleets of delivery vehicles. Did door-to-door sales. Loaded trucks. Drove a forklift in warehouses.

Ran an overnight support service for an ISP in the days of CDs with AOL and Demon Internet software on them. Ran a nightshift call-centre for a startup telecoms company. Worked in a credit collections department.

Eventually I got back to where I started - in tech and with a fresh appreciation for it. It seems that everywhere I went and everything I did kept steering me back to my original passion. Unavoidably so. Decades later I'm still here and am daily grateful that I do work I can (mostly) enjoy.

As alluded to elsewhere in these threads, sometimes you just need a break from it all. Take the time to step away, then come back with a renewed perspective.
Love MicroPython and CircuitPython
And then there are those among us with a $350 4k 40" 60Hz after several years still ticking along just fine...
People who are allowed here to work for a company should indeed be forced to leave when said company lays them off.
Yes it's hard to say. Sometimes it's when I feel like it's a natural time for a break, but also maybe whatever it is (that the audio tickles in my brain) becomes fatigued or used up.

Either way the silence gives a great feeling of relief. I sleep with a noise generator in my room and can't really do without it (tiny noises fill me with adrenaline at night) but when I wake up and turn it off my body loves me for returning the silence.

Very well written. Also quite worrying given they're supposed to be a security company and these kinds of issues are well known.

Then again it does seem like the entire universe applies "eh probably nobody will try and hack it" to services listening on local TCP interfaces.

They certainly don't care about multi-user machines, though I suppose there are so many local root exploits these days you're basically trusting your users anyway in that situation.
Neither do I. I'm not sure if that claim is right or wrong but it doesn't seem properly resolved.
> It can be compiled to WASI but there are no instructions on how to use zig cc to do it?

We (sqlite team) are currently working on patches to get it building properly with wasi-sdk. When built as-is with wasi it's essentially non-functional due to missing POSIX I/O emulation bits. i think we can expect to see that build land by the 3.41 release.
Yes. I burnt out of FAANG, took a funemployment break, worked as an automotive service tech for a while, and am now back in tech.

I returned with an appreciation for the flexibility and variety. Car work was varied but inflexible and the pay was terrible. I dabbled in other hobbies over the course of my break but in the end tech is the best overall way to support myself so I expect to stay. However, my next gig will be at a much, much smaller company because it keeps variety high and the ceo/founder/decider close.

To me it sounds like you have the mildest version of being burnt out. Have you introspected on why in particular you have arrived where you are? Projecting, was it a couple bad team fits? When were you most happy in your job? What were prevailing conditions? I realized that I need to run my life with Dunbar’s Number in mind or I risk othering my coworkers in ways that make me a kinda shitty peer. So I’m looking for smallish companies just starting to scale as my ideal work environment. What’s yours?

Edit: fixed a typo.

>My wife and I love to cook, have discussed opening our own restaurant, have eaten at lots of very expensive "haute cuisine" restaurants and have tasted lots of wines.

Please don’t make the mistake of thinking “I like to cook” means “I would like to run a restaraunt”. They’re two completely different things.
It's a net gain for America to have more skilled tech workers. If that means slightly lower wages for everyone, so be it. Given the number of large tech companies founded by immigrants, I'm not certain wage suppression is a given anyway.

I feel the same way about doctors and other highly paid skilled professions, and immigration as a whole.
The idea is additive manufacturing allows for more complex internal geometries, i.e. cooling channels.
I’ve lived in both the city and suburbia and suburbia not only had those things, but those things were better in suburbia.

Now eventually you do get into that problem in rural areas or areas that can’t be densely inhabited (like the mountains), but there’s no fundamental reason people can’t live in five-bedroom mansions and have access to services.
Tox doesn't anonymize by default. You're leaking your IP address to every peer, and you're leaking metadata about to whom you communicate to every entity in the backbone.

I must confess when I lost both my parents-in-law at young age (both died just before 62), it kinda gave me this same perspective.
