>You’re in control!

Use your imagination and have some empathy. Some people are not in control. Like every human characteristic people exist on some part of the bell curve.

Telling people they are in control is like telling someone that is on the autism spectrum to just get over it, or telling someone that weighs 130 pounds and is 6 ft tall that they can be as big as Arnold Schwarzenegger with a little hard work and protein.

As a frequent DashPass user, the individual menu item prices for almost every restaurant is jacked up on DoorDash (as compared to their in-store price) and there is a service fee added on top that's separate from the comped delivery fee.

It all adds up.
I would guess that placing any sort of data like this on a publicly-visible distributed ledger is the very last thing an industry like international shipping wants. Pirates might love it, though.
If you want to maximize employability, I'd say Javascript.

If you want to maximize enjoyability, for me the choice is clojure.

Advent of Code starts tonight; pick a language and try it on the AoC problems. The first few are usually extremely easy/straightforward and they ramp up in difficulty throughout the month.

I experience a similar sentiment all the time when writing Rust code (which for now is admittedly just toy projects). So far it's felt like the compiler gives you just enough freedom to write programs in a "correct" way.

I don't really do unsafe/lower-level coding, so I can't speak to much there however.
The Sharp X68000 was a legendary computer in Japan, and has a similar reputation as a gaming and graphical powerhouse to the Amiga in the West. Graphics-wise, it surpassed the Amiga -- it had honest-to-goodness arcade graphics hardware allowing for 100% faithful conversions of late 80s and early 90s arcade games. There was even a Castlevania game on the X68000 that wouldn't see a release on other platforms until a PlayStation release late in that system's life.

In the first episode of Battle Programmer Shirase, a representative of "Eibin Corporation" comes to the title character asking for help with a cyberterrorist who is holding their company hostage and demanding that they bring back their "EX68" computer line (to which Shirase replies that he wishes that they would bring it back too). Note that "eibin" means "sharpness" in Japanese. That's the X68000's reputation, to the point that it warrants nerdy references in anime decades after the system's heyday.

> I've seen some of this in our local schools: meetings held with the head teacher to "hear both sides" when one side is a bully asserting their right to bully the other side.

This is endemic in modern culture. The need to treat two opposing opinions as equally valid and balance them against each other as if there's some sane middle-ground to be found. There's no middle-ground between slavery and non-slavery. Or between the earth is flat and science.
I'd like to ask the same question with #2 reversed: Let's say someone has never done web programming at all, frontend, backend, full stack, half stack, smoke stack, doesn't even know what those things mean. They're old school C++ programmers or embedded devs or something. Now they want to learn how to build a modern web app in 2022. There are so many languages and frameworks. Do a web search on how to write a web app and the whole lot of the different options will show up. Where do they start, and which obsolete ones can be skipped?
Elixir is the one for me, but I just can't kick JS/TS since I'm so productive with them.

Elixir is functional, has a great concurrency story, great for real time networking, great open source community with awesome libs
I don't know about Windows core system libraries, but for user libraries you can do the same thing - rename old library, and put new library in it's place. Running processes will continue using the old library, and new ones will pick up the new library. The only difference is that instead of deleting the old library you need to rename it (and then delete it later).

Linux doesn't need reboots only in theory. I have an Ubuntu server box and not a week passes in which I don't see a "system reboot is required" prompt when I SSH into it.
My experience gave me tenacity and resilience.

My experience was not as bad as some others on this list. I believe that is because girls are psychological bullies, and boys are physical bullies. My husband was chased and beaten up until he the beat up the lead bully.

I met my lead bully as an adult. I was surprised to find out that she did not realize she was a bully. She acted as if we were childhood friends. One of her friends apologized to me, so others certainly realized.

Her life did not go as well as my life. I suspect it was because the traits that made her a bully as a child did not work for her as an adult.
> neither of which so much as blinked when we quoted a price much higher than what they could get otherwise

And therein lies the business model of throwing good money after bad, and that's not even taking into consideration the enormous cost benefits of self-hosting with one's own physically colocated hardware infra and a meager full time staff.

Not batting an eye, or rather, "...so much as blinked", as you said, are bourne of business models with factored in wreckless budget kruft that may at first be acceptable until one merely scratches the surface of cost savings.

Even with a full time staff, and carrier hotel fees, the reliability and overall cost savings of self-hosting would likely not even exceed 15% of what the fully managed SaaS hosting package would cost - and two more points as well...

* Response time of support staff would be under 5 minutes.

* Dedicated support staff would actually need to "dedicate" very little actual man-hours to support functions, freeing them up to have their budgeted labor resources allocated elsewhere in the company most of the time.

This is a wonderfully stark and typical example of how to sell vendor lock-in for a FOSS solution... brilliant!
Sometimes you need help from others before you can help yourself. Good for you to go get the help you needed.
>This sounds awful: flying is already a terrible experience, and people suck. On my flight last week, some asshole had to be repeatedly told by a stewardess he had to use headphones to watch a video, instead of making everyone within 10 feet listen to it. Loud phone calls will definitely improve this experience.

This was my reaction as well. I'm not concerned with radio interference as I am the behavior of the humans making phone calls. Every time I go to the grocery store, there's at least one person walking around with their speaker phone on and headset to their mouth just carrying on as if they're the only one around; I can hear their entire conversation 4 isles over.
You may disagree with the way the TIOBE index is compiled, but it's hardly "arbitrary."

I did for a really long time. At a startup now.

Yes, there was nice instrumentation there too. All google3 binaries did something like InitGoogle() that set off commandline flag parsing, signal handler installation, log hooks, mlock/huge page setup, etc.

It's interesting how much of modern cuisine is, well, modern, and a product of modern technology. The article doesn't talk much about the baguette's history, and suggests the origins are lost in the mists of time. I guess they are. Not that lost, though! Sure, the shape is probably much older. But modern baguettes, the kind we know with the glazed crunchy crust, are made in a steam oven. That effectively limits their introduction to the date of the introduction of steam-injection baking (probably invented in Austria in the 1830s) to Paris, which was in the late 1830s. It was not possible to make a baguette -- not the baguette we know anyway -- before that. Similarly, many of Escoffier's recipes basically assume access to a gas cooker and refrigeration, and you would have been very hard-pressed to pull them off a century before without those. Haute cuisine was very haute tech at the time.
I also think "getting what you want" is less important than "knowing what you want", the fables and folklore of every culture has cautionary tales that boils down to "be careful what you wish for".

True happiness (imho, and I am no expert here) is about resonating with a moral philosophy you truly believe in, and then acting in a way that you believe truly aligns with it. I think the more people around you who validate your philosophy and actions the more happy you will be.

The consequence here is that smart people are less likely to resonate with the existing philosophies around them and end up having to make sacrifices (either social or moral) leaving them less happy than they would have been otherwise.
I was just going say/write the same, smart people see both sides of an argument, see the good but experience the societal bad and generally spend more time reflecting, aka worrying.
Not a doctor.

As I understand it, caring for someone diagnosed with ADHD, the response to stimulants is quite different in people with ADHD.

When a neurotypical person with control of their executive function takes stimulants it will increase their energy levels but it will also interfere with their executive function. They will lose impulse control, have intrusive thoughts, difficulty focusing.

An ADHD person has difficulty regulating their executive function to begin with. All the different parts of the brain that have to work together in concert to perform a task have a leader that is easily distracted and they have a hard time controlling the leader. They start with confused thoughts and it can be struggle to maintain their focus on long-term plans/tasks. When they take stimulants it appears to help them regain control over their executive function. It increases their energy levels a bit but they way they react is quite different -- it can seem almost like it calms them down.

So no, we don't all have ADHD. And not everyone will respond the same way to stimulants. They're one tool that can help people who have trouble regulating their executive function.
Things you didn't know you needed
Maybe because "medical breakthroughs" are not needed.

Moderation and self-discipline in diet and exercise are needed.

Psychological issues (or parenting failures for the young) may undermine those - as indicated in the article - but its difficult to see where "medical breakthroughs" add value to more common-sense solutions.

This presumes a thoughtful and deliberate approach, where all decisions and other actions related to bug management come from a place of wisdom and care, but that filters out pretty much any project that's using GitHub Issues to track bugs.

The kind of thought that goes into choosing GitHub for projects' bugtrackers is about the same level of thought that went into the decisions of anyone who was using Internet Explorer 10 years ago: they didn't think about it a lot, nor did they particularly care—they just picked it because it was there.

Please don't let them mess this up like they did Foundation (where a very human story, about ordinary people making the proper decisions at the right time degraded into some kind of superhero flick). And yes, I know, second foundation and the mule and all, but this came later in the story. The first foundation is about ordinary people and it's only this aspect, which makes the mule stand out so much and which far later makes the choice Trevize has to make in any way important. And the gun blazing Salvor Hardin really is an insult.

I have converted a shed (insulation, power, etc), which gives me an office that is reasonably isolated, but conveniently near my house. This solution depends on having a bit of yard space, a bit of manual skills, and reasonable zoning regulations.
I used to work at a company full of lifers. They were all laid off 10 years away from retirement, and none of them had developed a single marketable job skill in their tenure.

Not the one you're replying to but this is my diet as well. (Having breakfast now - beef and butter with salt.). I thought I'd be bored with it quickly at first and decided to keep using spices on my meat but after two days I ditched the spices and haven't been bored yet. Eight weeks tomorrow.
I do play games, but not because of your reasons. Because those calls are usually boring as hell and so I am able to pay more attention to them if I'm also doing something else less soul-crushing while listening to it.

Good concern. All Patterns apps are fully defined by code that you can download. We're building our open source execution engine, once that lands you'll be able to self host forever if desired
This is a step ahead indeed. good job!!
I don't see this as an attempt to kill off their self-hosted offering. They charge the same as their SaaS version with some slight differences in features/limits (limits being removed as they're offloaded to your infrastructure.) The self-hosted version should in theory have a better profit margin than their SaaS version. Seems like the Gitlab Dedicated offering is probably just their self-hosted version automated and hosted on Gitlab infrastructure. Appears the demand was there and it probably wasn't much extra work to make it happen so why not.
Serious Security Flaws in Mediaroom.com
I have recently been searching the internet for different efficiencies in security have have encountered a very worrying situation.

While browsing on the site tripadvisor.com, after navigating to their page entitled "US Press Center | TripAdvisor" I had noticed a script was attempting to load that was blocked by my browser's Adblock.
Although I am very certain of what's below, I would highly suggest you were to go ahead with independent enquiries to validate my findings -- Findings which are extremely worrying.

The script being loaded is named "moatframe.js", this file is loaded from the following URL; https://z.moatads.com/addthismoatframe568911941483/moatframe.js.
There are conflicting results after searching this particular filename, but as mentioned I have de-obfuscating the code.

Side note: After navigating to moatads.com, there was previously an A record, which would return to a redirect to a large networking company (which to the best of my knowledge was CISCO).
However, there is a possibility that an individual thread actor would be able to hide behind the name of a company as large as CISCO.

After decompiling the script, we found that the code calls a system API call to a function named "MSFAPI". This script is in essence calling the Metasploit Framework API.

This particular framework allows a remote javascript shell to be created, which wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for a venerability it can potentially target on Edge products running on Microsoft.

With this particular framework we were able to find a gitlab server that seems highly related containing code that can essentially open a local shell on Microsoft Windows 10. This exploit originally targeted routers, but is no longer online, the code was previously hosted at the domain http://git.hunter-ht.cn/.

This alone would allow for local files to be pulled from the server and modified. Along with a privilege escalation attack, a key logger, RAT or something similar may be installed on the chosen computer merely by accessing the webpage.

As mentioned, please double check my findings, as someone who uses the internet I strongly hope I am wrong.

Please let me know your own findings.

Your other suggestions look interesting.

I've read Antifragile and loved it.
It’s possible, but I’ve been diagnosed multiple times by multiple psychiatrists who said there was no doubt in their mind. This also included a questionnaire to my parents that showed I had it as a child. It’s also been mentioned to me by coworkers or even commented on by strangers.

I do have a free floating anxiety and that was something the meds helped with.
There are multiple types of medication for ADHD and as part of working with a psychiatrist they should be trying different options for you. It took me 3 different tries before finding one that worked for me.

even ignoring productivity of workers, I don't see why most companies wouldn't prefer to cut down on expenses like office space. Some industries will always need a chunk of their workforce in office, but even downsizing office size helps. Plus you can recruit almost globally for talent and employees don't have to deal with long commutes which are going to drain people mentally

You can't even claim remote work doesn't scale, there are multiple billion dollar public companies that are remote first and basically every company continued to function just fine during the pandemic
+1 to this and mostly because I'm getting more interested in more formal functional programming after 20+ years of mostly working with OOP - and both of these allow strong FP without requiring hard commitment to it like with Haskell

I've only heard good things about Rust and it seems to have all the LTS needed to actually improve life over C

Honestly I think something like LISP with a different CPU/GPGPU architecture is probably the future, or maybe a better way to say it is, we probably need computers to be more like lambda architecture than we have now if we want to fully utilize the power of large data architectures (I'm avoiding the term AI in purpose here).
He writes compilers and developers tools. There are plenty of other developers of compilers and developer tools for Windows who apparently don't see this as big hassle because probably they understand that Windows have other ways of doing things differently from the way he is used to doing in Unix.

If his application can only work by creating and deleting files as soon as they are created, then it makes sense for him to point his users to the appropriate documentation.
This ultimately does violate physics if your caloric output is the same in both scenarios. Maybe the HFCS makes you more tired/lazy like you said and that causes your output to drop dramatically, but then it's no longer the same comparison.

right, the implication is that the assumption is dickish behavior and I emphatically disagree with that.
I’ve been a solo founder working in Go on a growing startup and my code shipping speed is faster than ever. I’m now increasingly also doing Python for generative AI backends and more reactive front-ends than vanilla JS (Svelte, maybe Vue trying to avoid the overhead of React), so front end work and mobile work are also relevant. Rust seems to lower developer productivity too much for production ready work, so staying away from it unless massive throughout is necessary - go is plenty performant if you watch your memory footprint.

More and more larger companies are seeing the benefits above and Go is gaining ground.
