If you're not interested in learning about CS in Uni-level, how about looking at other fields? I'm an economics bachelor myself, learning everything about s/w dev outside of college, but I find applying what I've learned to ML and business to be really fun and, well, don't regret it at all.

If you have any interest in other fields, such as communication, I.R., psychology, or economics, they'd be helpful I think. And you can clear out those pesky migrate-with-bachelors visa requirements people have mentioned.

There are also correspondence college courses (traditional MOOC equivalent), but yeah, it's not really a substitute for undergraduate life.
There are different types of cement: Portland and CSA (Calcium Sulfoaluminate).

https://caltra.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/What-is-CSA...

Portand is the cheap stuff- like the $6 Quikrete bag at Home Depot. CSA is more expensive, but also available at Home Depot- look for the "Rapid Set" brand (Rapid Set Cement All is like $28 a bag).

It's kind of awesome, it's so fast you can sculpt vertically with it. You use more water with it than Portland, it starts out more mud-like. It tends to be preferred for repairs.

I've been Team Kindle since the very first models that had a keyboard.

I'm at a level where my kindle broke down when I took it out during lunch (half of the screen updated, other half didn't), I just grabbed my phone, ordered a new one then and there and kept reading the book on my phone's Kindle app :D

I went from maybe a book a year to 20-24 books a year.

It's easy to keep always with you, it weighs the same even if you're reading Brandon Sanderson's latest 1600 page tome and it's always on the exact page you left it at.

And if you read longer book series that end in a cliffhanger, you can tap to buy the next one, grab more tea and continue reading even if it's 2 in the morning and you need to work the next day :D
> My question was: I heard claims that Ukraine was murdering Russian-speaking minority in Donbass before the Russian invasion

Define 'minority' in context of Donbas. It's overwhelmingly Russian-speaking.

> and that this was the justification for the invasion.

Well, define 'murdering' then[0]. Both sides would claim the civilian deaths on the opposing side. If you are asking about specific actions of anyone actually murdering people (ie not from the direct circumstances of war) then I can't help you, too much to sift through, though OSCE reports would be the main 3rd-party resource to get this info, especially if you search for 'torture'.

It’s the non-transient population that cause the vast majority of externalities associated with homelessness. We’re not talking about Jeff who is homeless because he’s crashing on Aunt Karen’s couch for a month.

Put another way:

It is undesirable to be impermanently homeless.

The permanently homeless make it undesirable for you.
At more centrally-administered sites, a user might not even have the ability to change an X server option. The idea of making a toggle via xset sort-of makes sense, but seriously, isn't the idea generally that you trust the apps you're running anyway. And doesn't a vastly different wrong number in some X call at least produce an effect that makes you aware of the problem (I know, that doesn't make a X server more stable...).
It's just baffling to make something near-universally available less so. The next new CPU thing could be bigendian - or quantum, but who knows what byte order that would prefer.

Btrfs RAID 5 is "fixed" as of kernel 6.2 - see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.2-Btrfs-EXT4

Although I'd still suggest single-block-device-btrfs on mdadm instead. The per-file RAID in btrfs (/zfs) can skip over unallocated sectors, but mdadm gets to do larger sequential writes with less random seeking. On spinning disks this can very quickly overtake the performance at even lightly filled volumes.
It doesn't limit anything. Let's say you put 100k in the market today. With probability p you will have 8% return at some unknown point in time in the future (your argument may be false even from a simple temporal point of view, take a day in which the market plummeted, and take the closing price of that day, not the end of the year value, and 20 years prior I doubt you would have made a profit, but I can't make any statistics as of now). That means your 8% is unknown. So you haven't really mitigated any loss. The distribution of returns is unknown, at any time period, dayly, yearly, whatever, so you can't know your p, so any wishful calculation is nothing.

Now, let's assume what I said up to now is wrong. I don't pretend to know the absolute truth anyway. Reflect on this: even if something has made a profit buying and holding for 20 years consistently for a millennia, it means nothing for my future. What guarantees me that I will make my profit in my 20 years? I can't travel back in time. Before discovering black swans, everyone thought swans could only be white.

Also, 150 years of data on a phenomenon that changes almost daily is nothing.

> If there are side effects, be procedural.

Yep! That's why Iterator::for_each https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/iter/trait.Iterator.htm... is more often than not a code smell [0]; it exists mostly for the sake of writing side effects in functional style.

So something like

something.map(|x| ..).for_each(|x| do_something(x));

Should probably be written

let iter = something.map(|x| ..);

for x in iter {
do_something(x);
}

It's still okay to use Iterator::map and other iterator combinators, but using for instead of for_each here is probably easier to read.

[0] One exception is in the documentation "In some cases for_each may also be faster than a loop, because it will use internal iteration on adapters like Chain."
what is the benefit here? it's too costly to talk to a human, so instead, you would rather speak to a corporate automaton?
That's an incomplete quote.

I have often wondered if the ANC creates more noise in overcoming the outside noise. I did some googling, but the results made me feel like I was asking a dumb question.

I'm genuinely curious: are there any audiophiles on here that could answer?

FWIW - with the ANC off, sounds that make me 'cringe' (sawzall, table saw, hammer drill, etc.) are very much muffled and seem to be just as muffled as when using foam ear plugs. As others have said, there is a big difference between noise levels for a guy remodeling his bathroom with power tools and a someone that saws concrete for a living.

I think this is especially important to remember during the negative self-talk cycles. For awhile I would try and push through telling myself things are in the past, I have moved on and it's time to look forward etc and would fail miserably. Then would hate on myself for failing my expectations on top of losing my ability to connect thoughts like I use too, or even come up with new ideas or see how systems worked anymore. So I started traveling regularly, 8-10 intl trips a year (with a few domestic) and while there were flashes of brilliance, mostly it was as dull and numb as everything else, and only slightly helped with life satisfaction, but not so much for the cognitive issues.

After a few years the slivers of color started coming back into my world, then covid hit. Right around the start I came down with long covid for about 12-18/mo (I assume, my mental processing felt like it no longer existed/got even worse than before and that it would never come back this time).

The negative self-talk cycle started back with a vengeance. At one point I started having panic attacks which I never had before, and at the time, didn't know what was happening. It forced me to accept the small steps forward. Where, if today I can take a shower, put on clean clothes and go to the grocery store and systematically go through the isles picking up each item without getting annoyed by other people "in my way/front of what I need", it was a successful day. With bonus points if I acknowledged other peoples existence or engaged in pleasantries with someone (most likely the cashier). These kinds of actions/goals were not the types of things I ever thought would make me feel like I had a successful day. Learning to see success in way that success was measured by what I could do - really changed things for me.
So, all that stuff wasn't important and just kept going on, but it was the breach of confidentiality that got him fired and sued? This has me heavily headscratching here...

The rust is essential to bind it to the cement. Without, it adds little strength.

Modern concrete isn't expected or designed to last more than a century. It could have been made to last longer, if they wanted, but that would cost a little more. Making no provision for when it will predictably fall apart is a modern failing. That major construction with concrete is about a century old should worry everyone.

We have a very great deal of infrastructure that will fail on a predictable schedule, with nothing budgeted to replace it all.
> > But for future interplanetary colonization, the rule would become one light month. Not very far. But imagine any form of communication taking years to bounce back and forth. That could not be centrally governed. It might not just be travel time, but it probably does correlate.

> The rule seems too simplistic. What's so special about 1 month? Is the significant value time to communicate, time to move military forces, or something else?

> For instance, for your hypothetical interplanetary empire: How could a capital, with a military that can move at 1% light speed, effectively rule over a colony one light month away if the worst it could do for ten years is send a nasty letters over radio? Having local forces isn't a good answer, because one of the easier paths to rebellion is for the leader(s) those forces to declare independence and make themselves kings.

Have assassins embedded in their chain of command, so poison or dagger is always just few metres away. And they know how short their rein as a king will be.
Is that still a viable strategy or are there better options available by now? Is Twitter still using Snowflake? (There’s a nice Elon pun in there somewhere, I’m sure)
Wouldn't it be better for it to become an actual standard before using the new variants? If something changes between now and when it gets standardized, you'd have to deal with the difference going forward.

"So at ~7% it takes 10 years to double your money."

No, it HAS taken 7% to double your money.

Most experts don't necessarily expect stocks to return 7% per year in the future. Instead they think stock returns are related to the price to earnings ratio, which has looked more and more unfavorable in recent years.

And even if you are basing your data merely on history, good luck designing an insurance that wouldn't have gone bankrupt during the great depression.

I guess I'd say that's true to first order. Sure, if a company does something egregious that I don't like it is within the realm of possibility that I can go found another one, double their revenue, and grind them out of existence before doing things my way. I suppose you could say that's reciprocal since that's kind of what they did to me in this hypothetical example. Fortune rarely favors that, though, and if you ask me companies have vastly more economic firepower than independent contributors but haven't adopted the corresponding responsibility.

duh, that is trivial question.

Because humans are in a constant sexual arm race. People (and mostly men) are judged by economical status which is competitive, some men will use every extra minute to gain any advantage possible. And even if you decide not to participate in this game, then you will be working under someone who does and this person will want to max the output from you.

However, the bonsai in the picture are the real deal. Those are absolutely priceless. That fir tree wants to create needles that are about three to six inches long. It has been pinched religiously for decades. The moss and lichens on the stone are phenomenal and the stone itself was probably licked for years (I am only partially joking). It looks sea worn and looks like it has some wormholes. The sand has been manipulated with tweezers and probably with a microscope involved. The creator of that thing is getting on a bit now and their eyesight is probably like mine.

Note the "weighting" of the main elements - the way the tree and main rock leans very carefully to the right and the weight of the left and right main portions of both.

That tree and setting is worth studying and striving towards.
I do wonder what the difference between running a bitcoin ponzi scheme and a ponzi scheme in Eve Online for Plex is.

for me the series x is the ugliest console in decades. the button placement, the connections placement, the weird dimensions, the colors. it looks like it has no taste, no finesse, truly a microsoft product. for this reason it stays out of sight. and then you boot it up and realise that the same lack of taste is evident in the os as well.

the ps5 on the other hand is just too big and heavy, otherwise it looks interesting, might not be at the same level of design finesse as the ps4. but to me it looks a bit more like a next gen console, more polished than the series x and this definitely holds true when you boot it up. and practicality wise i can open up the ps5 to clean, which is a major advantage. unfortunately it’s definitely a showcase device, and lots of folk don’t have the space for these kinds of devices. they do have space for boxy devices thou.

I wish more people implemented Bitcoin (Lightning) payments on their websites. I always pay with Bitcoin when there's an option; simply because it's easier and faster, compared to typing in my CC info and 2FAing it with my bank app. Bitcoin requires just scanning a QR code with a mobile wallet.

That's not a good comparison. To get a full picture, you have to compare the X server, all the Xorg drivers, the X client libraries, the X utilities, all the different X window managers and compositors, all the code from alternate X server implementations, etc. X11 desktops are all using dbus too so that one counts for both. All together added up it's significantly more code than Wayland, and that's even considering that the major Wayland compositors try to share as much as possible between the X and Wayland implementations. That is, Mutter and KWin didn't use wlroots. Wayland and X11 are just pluggable backends for them. Go and look there yourself if you want to make your own direct comparison. The Wayland backends are pretty small and they talk to the kernel directly, whereas the X backends have to go through all of that extra code just to talk a complicated protocol to the X server to accomplish the same task.

This is different situation for older non-compositing window managers that still use the old X11 drawing primitives. Compositors do all their drawing themselves using direct rendering to the GPU so are able to just swap out the backend without much trouble. That shift was happening in X11 in the years prior to Wayland and it's one of the reasons Wayland is even able to work.

When looking specifically at the tech and startup sector, there's a couple things worth pointing out:

* Though the 40 week is still standard, more and more tech people are making their living as independent consultants/contractors, working part-time, advising, retiring early, etc. When you look at the amount of wealth created by tech and software, but also the flexibility and ability to do things like remote work, we actually have made a ton of progress here

* In the US at least, as long as health care is tied to full-time employment which is quantified by some arbitrary # of hours, it will be the predominant way to work

* Working hours are ultimately set by founders/owners, not by the employees (unless you're in a union like situation). Many software businesses have enough leverage that they can be run fully on fewer than 40 hours/wk, but generally investor interests, greed, desire to grow quickly, wanting to optimize profits, etc etc. Ultimately, culture and precedent is a really strong thing.

I'll hypothesize though that after the grind that was COVID, a refocusing on profits vs growth, we're going to see many more balanced businesses taking a far more progressive approach to working hours and reduced time roles. The 4-day work week is just one movement in this direction, and we're going to see a lot more tech companies that offer 20/hr week positions and more.
That’s fair. I wouldn’t find it nearly as suspicious if they had said 250k to 900k.
