Yeah. Also, some countries still treat anyone with any kind of official mental "unusualness" as needing to be thrown in a looney bin. :(

Additionally, it's an unknown how long the current acceptance of ADHD (etc) will last in modern / western countries. We could just be going through a limited-time golden period.
It might depend on bracelet material and fit. For instance BluShark makes a "Pajama strap" which is very extensible.
Only if you want a child tethered to a screen from that point forward. I was that child, I’m in tech, I’m not sure I’d want that for my kid. Shared computer and a course would be much better imho.

A dedicated laptop signals “go do whatever you want with it anytime you want” also, where a shared one signals “we own this and we tell you when to use it”
huh, do you mind elaborating on how you medicate? Legal substances can actually have beneficial effects: alcohol, caffeine, cannabis.

I'm guessing you would do coke or meth. MDMA would technically work. I'm in desperate need of stimulant medication, and if things are still bad in the next 5 years or so, I will have to get creative.
I've read a few times about the concerns people have with voice assistants, which all predominantly default to female voices, taking orders and abuse without question. I believe Cortana was also intended to "stand up for herself" in these situations, to avoid making it seem okay/normal to bark abusive orders at a "woman".
> Do some folks go overboard and create bloated, crappy web apps?

I'd argue the problem is they create unnecessary web apps. Every damn corporation's and its aunt's (no matter how tiny mom-and-pop organizations they are) home page, basically just a fricking brochure, is an endlessly-scrolling blinking self-reformatting SPA nowadays, in stead of just a simple page that stays the fuck put in the browser so you'll actually the link you thought you were clicking.

Mercedes Makes Better Performance a $1,200 Subscription in Its EVs
The thing that has most worn me out of all the star wars, marvel, etc. franchises is their simple moral framework pitting good vs. evil. There is basically as little moral ambivalence as possible. I find myself inhabiting a world full of moral ambivalence, and so these types of movies and shows just don't offer me anything to take away.

Does Andor break that formula? Does it paint the empire / the rebels in a less cartoonish light than other star wars?
I didn't trust my instinct and hired a guy that was a pathological liar. Almost ruined the whole company. This was during the dotcom bubble and programmers where hard to come by. My company didn't pay as well as the (soon to be bankrupt) flashy dotcom firms. I really needed people and I let myself think "OK, he is odd, but maybe it's just my bias".

His office soon turned into a dump, he didn't show up to important customer demos ("Oh, I told you I was going to visit my sister", "I got a bad allergy after vaccination, I'm in the hospital."). He could spend weeks not producing anything, and have very elaborate excuses. Some periods in the beginning he did really good work. So I had to weigh the pros and the cons of keeping him. And maybe I wanted to avoid a conflict. I was young and had never met a person that could lie and cheat without feeling bad.

The worst was that he blamed his co-workers for everything. People wanted to leave. And I, as the middle manager, was caught between caring for the team, getting the work done and be accountable for the managers above me.

I should have ended his employment after a week. There where enough bad signs.

One day he just disappeared. We were worried and went to his house. It was empty. Never heard from him again. After a month his office phone rang. It was his mother. I had to tell her that he was missing. "Oh, not again", was her reply.

When recruiting, listen to your instincts. And be proactive when a team member is not functioning. One person could ruin a team.
I completely agree. Ever since WFH started I'm feeling this gravitational pull away from the city center because of cost of living and space considerations. If salary takes a nosedive this will become untenable for many.

Mountains of research show that this will increase total emissions. It would be one thing if the U.S. was developing medium density suburban cores, but that seems to be on the table in very, very few places.
Has a CI system running. Looks like it's been failing for months which is disproportionately funny for a OS written in C.

Not obvious where or if there's any documentation, though there are some encouraging checklists.
Not the same. A single tweet may need to be distributed to 50 million followers. I’m not a distributed database guy, but that to to me looks like a very different problem than what WhatsApp faces.

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. The genocide that accompanies deforestation is barely talked about even as it’s actually ongoing. It’s not just that people don’t care; I doubt most Westerners even know how bad the situation is. These days deforestation is mostly talked about in terms of global warming and loss of biodiversity – not the extermination of ethnic groups with their own distinct language and culture. I was shocked to learn that this man had survived not one, but two genocides (first in the 70s and then the 90s) followed by further documented attempts on his life in 2009!

> Except when Mongols took over in China or the "century of humiliation".

It's simply not the same thing.

Sure, China was forced to humiliating concession by the European.

But it's not the same. The borders of countries in Africa were drawn by Europeans.

For hundreds of years large parts of the continent was dominated by European colonialism.

If trade rights and relatively minor land concessions were considered humiliating by the Chinese... Just imagine
Oh, I don't think they'd have the bandwidth to pull it off either. But I think Elon has whittled the engineering team down to those who think as he does and those too scared to contradict him and he's publicly stated that he thinks their microservices based architecture is too complicated. So I don't see a successful rewrite happening but I do see an attempted one coming.
> [Subway] then requires subsidies to run

I wish we used the same logic for roads/streets as well. Except for toll roads, which only get a partial subsidy, roads are fully subsidized by the taxpayer.

Since others get fully subsidized roads for their private vehicles, I argue public transit should be fully subsidized as well.
I work from home full time, my gas bill is a fraction of that (~GBP100/month), and that's even accounting for the crazy energy cost increases we've seen in the UK.
Sorry, you're completely right. I had digraphs confused with character-constant escape sequences (as defined in "6.4.4.4" in C99).

I.e. that the trigraphs need to be parsed like that both because they're replacements for basic syntax like "{" and "}", but also because they need to be considered as if though the parser saw a "\" in a constant, as they next character may be e.g. "n", forming a "\n", not "\\n".
Sure, you can handmatch. If the thermal radiation of your hands wouldn't affect the measurement.
Yeah I would argue ADHD is almost self diagnoseable. The biggest issue is similarity with depression or bipolar.

ADHD people can seem more bipolar than bipolar people, because the average person doesn't understand these conditions. They would observe someone that's very mercurial and moody, and say it's definitely bipolar.

Bipolar is a state that lasts for and extended time, days to weeks. It doesn't mean you're euphoric in the morning, but depressed two hours later. That could be many things including ADHD.
Yes, that's definitely a problem. Most home insurance products cover bikes (I've had my stolen road bike mostly replaced by insurance), but it's not an ideal solution given the hassle and time cost. I imagine theft prevention trackers would make this less of an issue over time, at least on the higher end models.
Git has nothing to do with blockchain and is essentially what you are describing.

There’s already a word for that: distributed version control. We don’t need to move the goal posts on what blockchain is to make it have an interesting use case.

Blockchain is more specific to the consensus part not really about the self proving data structure part.
I found that "being technical" means different things to different people.

In the software world people seem to be referred to as technical when they write software systems not as much as singular scripts.

Data science is definitely technical but a lot of code work tends to happen in Jupyter notebooks or something similar. The main challenge is in understanding the ML/AI algorithms, the possible choices for your analyses that actually make sense for the problem, ... .

Besides that, due to the AI hype, there are so many people in data science who don't know much about coding or software engineering. Therefore, helping these people might be profitable (or not).
> Not the same. A single tweet may need to be distributed to 50 million followers

Of course not the same, but the question is, how much harder?

10 times harder?

100 times harder?

Given 1/5 of the users and probably less than 1/200 of the traffic (*) it should be feasible with less than 7,500 employees.

I don't believe WhatsApp employed the best 50 engineers in the World, I bet many of them worked at Twitter too.

(*) 100 billion messages sent via WhatsApp every day VS 500 million tweets per day
zlib is a compression library. Had a brief panic at the idea of it disappearing but this seems to be something related to piracy and a less immediate threat to software continuing to work.
That isn't an issue for me when I am medicated. When medicated I have the ability to choose whether to focus or not, unlike when I am not medicated and focus is elusive at best.
Every company is different, but anybody with access to the database or tools can do whatever they want. There might be a papertrail(that can sometimes be edited if it's centralized and you have sufficient privileges) but there is much less "regulation" than you think. Nobody from the government comes over like some kind of health inspector to make sure Employee 93457X isn't spying on people.
It's pretty much physically impossible for a Rolex to still be within spec (+-2 sec / day) after a decade of use.

If the only reason you take your watch in for service is because the time is drifting a lot each day, you've waited too long. At that point the lubricants have almost certainly broken down and the metal contact points are grinding away. The metal that's worn off ends up on other parts of the movement as dust and can be abrasive.

Your Seiko 5 can be cleaned and serviced (you can regulate it yourself with a Timegrapher you get on ebay for $100), but I'd probably just replace the movement with a new one. They are essentially disposable.
Jetbrains is probably the exception, out of the dev tools devs actually like to use.

ActiveState used to be another, back in the day. They're still around but with minor mindshare.
I think this is a really important point. We use lots of terms these days in ever more generic ways: cult, gaslighting, abuse, "I'm a bit OCD" ... each broader use of the language weakens the contexts where the language is more pointed.

Of course, context is everything and language is fluid, but think pieces that inadvertently soften words can also downgrade important intentions as a side-effect.

With due respect, many survivors of religion appreciate the harm that magical thinking causes, to which remaining adherents interpret as bigotry since to recognize said issue generates significant pain and cognitive dissonance. To acknowledge such is not bigotry but lived experience of exiting organizations that do not allow you to leave with your dignity intact. Is your counterthesis that the article is bigoted because it notes that magical thinking (attribution of positive and negative events as an effect stemming from an external entity's judgment) is usually not a good explanation for cause?
Yeah cults are pretty specific beasts
> You are going to have people with different opinions saying different things, and sooner of later some of them will be wrong

That’s a rather dismissive attitude towards the craft of journalism. Imagine the same applies to medicine. Someone pays a doctor to let your mother die and you’d be saying “well sometimes patients die, we can’t go cherry-picking those cases and pretend it matters”
The major problem around crypto reporting wasn’t that some reporters got it wrong. It’s that some reporters got major funding from crypto bros and then happened to write extremely naive and flattering articles about crypto bringing in gullible masses who now lost their money when the FTX Ponzi went bust.

It’s not an attack on the free press to point out that writing sugarcoated lies about financial investments because you stand to earn is a scam.

Well our grandparents lived in a world (if they were in a first world country) where working a normal job with a stay-at-home mom was enough for a comfortable retirement. This made gambling, at best, the entertainment it was viewed as.

In a lot of ways things are much more difficult now considering decades of wage stagflation and the wealth inequality globally, and this is before we factor in the recent rise in inflation everywhere. If you're not in a first world country you can raise these problems by an order of magnitude easily. It's not difficult to see how people look to gambling as the last sliver of financial hope

You might also want to compile with -fno-semantic-interposition since no one actually needs semantic interposition for symbols used and defined in the same library so you might es well disable it even or public functions.
You're right that making it public alone doesn't solve the problem since it is easy to "cook the books".

But if it's public and the results are the side effect of each transaction (e.g. the accounting is rules-driven and automatic as part of the system itself), I think it can change the game.
Azure Instant – my team's submission in a 2016 internal Microsoft hackathon
What I usually do whenever I add TODOs and FIXMEs is create a corresponding issue with a short context description of why this came to be this way, what are the potential limits to the current code, and how I think it could be addressed, with permalink (or permalinks) to the line(s) in the repo, and add a specific label (or JIRA epic).

This way it allows to easily search and find all code entries corresponding to a specific case, quickly jump back in without too much reverse engineering someday in the future (by myself or someone else), and monitor debt growth by zooming in on the label with a search (or just looking at the epic).

I had a similar experience finding a therapist who could work with “religious trauma”. Part of the reason I finally started calling it a cult (despite the stigma) is that at least in the US that seemed to help people understand that I meant something deeper and darker than the average person.

(Not to mention: a lot of people get really touchy with the idea that religion can be “traumatic” at all.)

I don't understand setting the internet "big bang" date somewhere in the 80s.

The big bang was the web which was at least 1990-1993 (CERN says 1993). In 1990-1993 and beyond for the next few years a tiny portion of US households even had a computer that was capable (modem, etc) of getting on the internet/web. Arguably until AOL it was also extremely expensive. When I got on the internet it was with an inflation adjusted $5000 computer, per minute long distance toll charges, and paying an ISP (also by the minute).

For the entirety of the existence of blockchain we've had ubiquitous broadband, social media, smartphones with always available data, etc. The conditions for the first 14 years of the web were vastly different and disadvantaged compared to the last 14 years in which blockchain has had plenty of time, audience, etc for widespread adoption and yet it still hasn't happened.
You shouldn’t, because it’s less likely to make you a billionaire.
I can't second this enough. I wore an Apple watch for years, then put it down in favor of a Seiko 5 automatic (mechanical watch). It's kept time like a champ and doesn't vibrate every five minutes begging for my attention. I previously had a quartz movement Timex, but there's just something about the mechanical watches that I really grew to appreciate.

Well, unless you happen to want to travel with a bicycle, that is.

Punctuality is great, but punctuality above all else can't help but have consequences, and some of those might be quite significant negatives for some travellers.

> It's worth noting that JR is a series of privatized companies, which is notable because they're profitable as well

No snark intended, and I know very little about Japan or its railways, but as with so many things, if you can persuade someone else to pay for the construction of your infrastructure then profitability is significantly easier:

"The costs for construction of new high-speed railway (except Chuo Shinkansen which is mainly paid by JR Central) are shared by national government and local governments along the line. National government pays 2/3 of construction costs, local governments bear the rest of it."

Quite often, the 80% are supporting the 20%. I know I've spent many days trying to review PRs for someone in "20% mode", and likewise, when I'm in "20% mode", I can deluge my coworkers with PRs and RFCs and such. It is very true that reading code can often take more time than writing code. Additionally, the "20% mode" person can often miss little details because they are moving fast, and that detail capture work can take a lot of time for very little code change.
China has always had a bureaucracy. A system for schooling. Even in the times of European colonialism, even during invasions of Manchurians and Mongols etc etc. During much of history it was the world's richest and most technically advanced society. That changed basically late 18th century. By that time African countries had already been colonialized for 200 years.
