Two quarters of negative growth has only ever been a rule-of-thumb that mostly matched, the official determination has been with the National Bureau of Economic Research for a long long time ( https://www.nber.org/ ).

You can see on this graph that the rule-of-thumb didn't hold right at the beginning of the graph in 1947 when no recession was declared, nor in 2008 when it started with a single quarter, or even 2001 when it started with a positive quarter: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A191RL1Q225SBEA

Also worth noting that practicing law in the US, even today, does not require an undergraduate. That requirement is purely a result of academia being academia and eagerly wasting 4 years of people's lives for the sake of not finding a better way to filter people.

In most states, to pass the bar, you only need a Juris Doctor which is usually received upon graduating from law school. In some states you don't even need this, and in some others you can skip law school entirely by studying under a judge or practicing attorney[1].

Law, especially in the US, is much more like a trade that accidentally ended up being taught by the universities, instead of a trade school separate from academia. Very similar to medicine in that regard, where again, there is no need for an undergraduate degree to practice medicine.

My first job was doing mostly Lego-pieces greenfield development. I learned a lot, but also didn’t learn as much as in my second job where I started having to work with a much more complicated, slightly “legacy” system with a big codebase.

At small code sizes, OO does not really have any apparent advantages to doing everything imperatively or in a hacky way. In fact I’d argue it tends to overly complicate and obfuscate things. But there is a point at which you really start wanting OO instead because you can no longer reason about the binary as a whole, and need to start thinking in terms of interfaces with separation of concerns. Even if you did understand the whole state, there are too many people working on it to keep up with changes to the whole state in a way that lets you reason about the thing as a whole.

At my first job (and in college) code never reached such levels of complexity so OO always seemed like some dumb fad to make things more complicated than necessary. I still that is often the case, but now I absolutely see the benefits when they present themselves.

I think people who are heavily into technology are generally immature. Technology is one of the most powerful forces that shapes the world in BOTH good and bad ways. Yet, when you actually interact with the majority (not all) of programmers and technology creators, they have no thought about the ethical considerations of what they are doing. To me that shows a basic lack of maturity, and that they never grew out of escaping the world by playing with cool toys.

I know that might sound harsh but I really believe that to be true based on my interactions with tech people.

Zinsser's "On Writing Well" is one of my favorite books, I like how clear and concise its prose is.

I got Joseph M. William's "Style: Toward Clarity and Grace" recommended [1] so you might be interested in it. I read the introduction (I'm planning to read it this year) and with the few examples the author presents it sells the idea that prose doesn't need to be utterly complex to communicate ideas and concepts succinctly and clearly.

Yeah, high-up Russian politicians have been talking about invading Finland or Poland or both.

And if the GP says that they don't have the military strength to pull that off, well, they don't. But they don't have the military strength to defeat Ukraine, and yet the fighting goes on, in complete defiance of sanity. No, Russia can't (successfully) invade either place. That doesn't mean he won't try. If I were Finland or Poland, I'd be preparing hard right now.

I've started my journey with the StartBodyweight program [1].

I had great results using it in my youth, marking my progress using mspaint, and having a few friends do it as well.

I remember doing it every other day. Also some of the progression jumps were a bit hard, but always doable.

The ecosystem is open and you get more hardware choices.

Termux (https://termux.dev/en/) means my smartphone can be a general purpose pocket computer.

App side loading means that if I want to I could add my own apps without needing to go through an App Store or pay a yearly developer fee.

What is the point of nice-looking, expensive hardware if it does not run the software you want it to run?

I want a useful pocket computer that can also make phone calls, not a fancy fashion appliance.
I can second this program. I am usually into kettlebells, but for several months I was travelling and required an alternative. This program is an open version of the "Convict Conditioning" program which works just as well. I've been using several months and now that I have returned to KB and clubbells I have retained the pushup and pull-up progressions.
That's just not how it works. If anything the opposite is true. Music is full of big egos, ie, this is my band, we do it my way or the highway.

Anything the sun spits out hits, if anything, the entire hemisphere. You don't get to pick out a specific rock for it to melt, but not the next one over.
As someone who started programming in BASIC, OO is a really good way to think about stuff (it introduces the abstraction of “conjoined data” that is typed and has functions) but it was not natural. It just feels natural now that I’ve spent so long in school and at work dealing with OO languages. I imagine if you had started with BASIC you’d feel the same
This one is the same for me. I'm not even sure I still totally get it.

It feels like something used an awful lot in ways that don't really add any value. But again, it must just be my lack of understanding. Maybe one of these days it'll click in.

The low unemployment rate indicates we're likely either in or about to start a recession. It generally doesn't spike until months after recessions begin: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE
This is kind of obvious if you take the amateur-level definition of a recession - two quarters of negative economic growth. A month after the end of the second quarter, when the statistics for that quarter become available, then you know that a recession started two quarters ago.
I highly recommend "80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster By Training Slower" by Matt Fitzgerald. Don't let the title put anyone off -- it's about performance, but most of the book is about the value of going SLOW.

Like you, I was never really a runner, although I did get into running when I met my current partner, who is a runner. I think what's complicated for most not-fit people is that they only have one running "speed'. I only had one running speed until I was almost 40. There was walking, and then there was running. Obviously there was also "sprinting" but we all recognize that's unsustainable. I think for most of us, "running" is what a runner would call a tempo run -- say 80% of your maximum heartrate, something you feel you can sustain more-or-less indefinitely, but that's hard.

When you're not-obese-but-out-of-shape, you might walk a mile in 15-17 minutes, and a run would be in the 10-12 minute range. It's hard to actually go any slower than that and still be running. And as you slowly get more fit, your runs get down to (say), a 9 minute mile, an 8 minute mile. But you never realize you can (and should!) scale back to that 10 or 12 minute mile. You'll be able to run every day instead of every few days. You'll get the health benefits without the injuries. And the side benefit is that, if you add speed work, you'll get faster more quickly than if you just ran at 'running speed' all the time.

The couch to 5k program listed mentions mixing walking and running -- this is a great alternative to a "slow run" for those who still only have 1 speed.
The valuations are the most transparently self-interested prediction he gives. VCs want desperately to frame investment in terms of business metrics, but it's a market like any other. There are more VCs competing to put money into relatively fewer compelling companies, and that means paying a premium. The big firms I talked to in H2 2022 were still looking at $15-20m A rounds for 20% of $1m+ ARR companies (meaning $75-100m post-money valuations), on average.
+1 to the sentiment.

I tended to treat jogging as synonymous with getting fit and thought of everything else as specialization you could do once you were fit if you had some other goal. When I didn't see the progress I wanted from jogging, my take was "well, next year I guess I just need to actually get serious about my running and my eating."

When this "common sense" approach wasn't working after N years I decided to try something different. A year doing 3x weekly mix of circuit training and HIIT classes with zero other exercise and no particular diet plan was drastically more effective than jogging. When I reincorporated running about nine months in, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had improved my all-time best mile from college by 30 seconds, basically for free. I am positive that if I'd spent those nine months jogging, it would not have made me better at burpees or pull-ups, but the reverse seems to have been true. In the four years since then, I've also found it much easier to maintain my weight, feel improved well-being, etc.

Running is better than not running, but it's not the end all, be all, and it might not even be what you need so if you aren't seeing progress from running, don't get discouraged or decide you just need MORE running.

Short answer: no.

You’re not going to be screened for certain things on your annual unless your age or condition warrants it.

Unless you’re in a high risk group, they’re not going to recommend a colonoscopy if you’re under 50-55 years old. That could change if enough data has been collected to suggest otherwise.
I am in the finance industry and at the very least, they seem to understand that harder work should result in higher rewards (cash comp). For a lot of these startups or more standard work environments, the ask seems to be to work harder with little visibility into how it helps the worker. Ultimately, there will be turbulence but I think it is moving towards more equality and less economic inequality. Which I think is great. This thread from antiwork on reddit was pretty insightful

> Mr. Haidt has addressed classes of seventh- and eighth-graders on the perils of social media. “I ask them, ‘Would you get off it on your own?’ Many are afraid to do that. But when I ask, ‘What if nobody could be on? Would that be better?’ they mostly say yes.”

I hope to help my kids find friend groups that aren't super online. If there were family meetup groups to facilitate this, I would join in an instant. Even if they had some school friends who were super online and some other friends who weren't, they'd be better off since they'd be able to see the different ways of interacting.
I love a good outline and can't really imagine writing anything above 1000 words without one. Getting the outline into shape really feels like breaking the back of any piece - after that it's just filling in the gaps.

Something I realised much too late was how delaying the move to the keyboard was a useful strategy. Now I mostly start with pen and paper, sometimes with a mind map if I really need to organise my thoughts, and only hit the PC once I have a pretty firm idea of what I'm going to say. I've even done first drafts in longhand, which feels like double handling at first, but there's something about that added filter of transposing from paper to computer that helps you reassess objectively what it is that you're writing.
My point is that improving the state of unit testing has little to do with OOP, and everything to do with the environment that the code runs in.

240/4 was reserved for future use more than 30 years ago. When is 'the future' if not now. Furthermore, reservations for 0/8, 127/8, and 224/4 seem mostly useless at this point.

Also Ford, Daimler, and Prudential owning huge network blocks and neither even doing business in networking, nor announcing prefixes can be referred to as outright IP squatting (if that term exists). The US DOD seems to be a squatter, too.

Based on professional experience, I doubt that networking equipment can not handle reserved blocks. And if it does not indeed, patches could be provided by vendors for sure within reasonable time.

The problem is not severe enough: neither for a switch to IPv6 (also conceived almost 30 years ago!) nor to make use of unused blocks.

I refuse to believe that IPv4 address exhaustion is actually a thing.
