The truth is that "programming & solving problems" is only ever a fraction of a programmer's job even at the coolest company. You'll always end up having to first figure out other people's code and data, coordinate teamwork, support production environments, refine expectations (a.k.a. finding out what "the real problem" is), document critical procedures, improve tooling, and so much other _stuff_. And it's totally ok, because these things can be fun too! And because when you finally get to write code, if you're just a bit smart, you'll consider these other aspects and give them appropriate care in the way you code, so that maybe things are easier for everyone in the long run.

What steals the fun out of the profession is the process, whether it's agile or lean or whatever. Having someone breathing down your neck for every bit of work you do, trying to categorize and measure every activity into a rigid grid to try and demonstrate a form of control over a process that we all know is essentially organic, if not chaotic. Smaller workplaces generally have much less decorum but given enough time all will grow their own process.

At some point you figure out that the ultimate "problem" is always of human nature. The code you are paid to write and the problems you are paid to solve are _not_ yours. And that's precisely why you're getting paid.
Void Linux is also worth trying. It's lightweight, fast boot times with runit, stable rolling release, and a unique packaging system xbps. Comes with either glibc or musl.
> we can't forget that a lot of IE and Firefox users ultimately decided to try Chrome, then went ahead and actually installed Chrome, then actively used Chrome, and most importantly, decided to keep on using Chrome instead of the other browser(s).

I'm in this camp. I had used Firefox for 20 years, literally since it was just a zip file called Pheonix/Firebird.

I switched to a Chromium-based browser kicking and screaming, but it came down mostly to speed for me, and some website incompatibility (which I can't blame wholly on Firefox).

I'd obviously tried Chrome since day 1, and was impressed and checked back in from time to time, until I decided it was time to finally switch over. I still support Mozilla and Firefox and don't want to see less competition in browser engine space. As long as Google continues to fund it (mostly out of anti-competitive concerns I'd imagine) I don't see them going anywhere.
EPA estimates that if finalized, a strengthened primary annual PM2.5 standard at a level of 9 micrograms per cubic meter, the lower end of the proposed range, would prevent:

up to 4,200 premature deaths per year;

270,000 lost workdays per year;

result in as much as $43 billion in net health benefits in 2032.

Well why don’t they just lower it to zero?? As usual, no consideration given to the costs/downsides.
Tax codes, medical bankruptcy, loan sharks, and student loans sure have shades of injustice that rob or turn people poor.

Also the notion that successful people should not be giving advice to people who are less successful, because then... what, the less successful people might become more like the successful people? -- anyways, that notion is completely backward. One could only endorse it if one really wanted the less successful people to remain down in life.

Garmin devices require a power meter to calculate training status for cycling. They can calculate other metrics like training load without a power meter.

Generally Garmin has much better features than Strava for setting up and executing a structured training plan, then analyzing your performance. But Strava has better social features. Many endurance athletes use both platforms. It's easy to create a free tier Strava account and automatically sync activities from Garmin to show your friends.

So I think you and the military think tank are saying that if this little country could become powerful enough, it could attack US ships transiting the Mississippi. Going to war with US by attacking its merchant vessels seems an insane thing to do for even a larger and closer country such as Mexico. I struggle to follow this justification for the sanctions.
If you don't mind, which metro area is this? I have an interest in street grids and address numbering systems; this just sounded like a peculiarity I'd like to read up on.
I think you’re missing the point here. The way I took the comment, specifically about tradeoffs, is that for many people the alternative to driving is dying.

If a household can’t acquire food at a minimum, death will result. For many people, a car is a prerequisite to food.

This is why IMO, only legislative action that includes new solutions to replace the need for cars will make a dent here, and trying to convince individuals will continue to be problematic.
It’s already being done. Electric vehicles and solar are taking over because they’re cheaper and will continue to be more so for quite a while.

Longwinded emotional appeals that misrepresent truth aren’t necessary, just some patience. You want to help, invest in solar development projects after installing a few on your own residence.

Whatever outcome is going to happen is more or less already certainly happening, there aren’t many levers or much that can be changed. Fossil fuels being mostly replaced is inevitable, climate effects good and bad from all the carbon added are likewise inevitable.
Well, it’s been more than 24 hours without a peep from Twitter. Seems like a legitimate bug/failure would have at least been acknowledged by now.
I have to wonder if some of this is due to women wearing makeup and more flattering clothing, so that the top 50% of women are as attractive as the top 20% of men. IME as a bisexual on dating sites, women typically have more game, or at least know how to flaunt it better. Back in the day I certainly reached out to many more women than men… though in retrospect, that’s also because women are less intimidating; it was easier to break the ice with them.
A clean moral record has nothing to do with it: I'm saying that, on a basic civic level, gross inequality is perceived as bad. It doesn't matter that said gross inequality is mostly in illiquid assets, because illiquid assets are just collateral for liquid ones (and people who aren't worth $100B understand this just fine.)

And yes, "allow" is correct. Healthy societies don't allow their members to throw knives at each other in public places, or blow cigarette smoke in premature babies' faces, or do any number of basically antisocial things. The intuitive belief is that amassing wealth to the degree of hundreds of billions of dollars is essentially antisocial in the same way that being Mr. Marlboro in the NICU is.

It gets orbital speed and kinetic energy from the aircraft.

Being dropped from a 747 the kinetic energy is far smaller than the potential energy. The 747 goes perhaps mach 0.8-something with a ceiling over 40,000 ft; say roughly 14 km.

That potential energy is equivalent to about 530 m/s.

(So, in terms of energy, you are comparing a bit under Mach 1 with a bit over Mach 1.5.) sqrt(2 g h) if you want to do the arithmetic: g=10m/s/s and h=14km.

So added together we are talking about Mach 2.5 equivalent launch speed from the aircraft stage, from an airliner like a 747 or 707. This is significant. Remember you're also doing the equivalent of accelerating the propellant that would be needed to accelerate the rocket up to this energy.

Now if you launch it from something like a military craft (Mig 31 or Tu-160) then you can ballpark add another Mach 1, so we're in the ballpark Mach 3.5 region. Probably exceeding Mach 4 for the Mig 31, but of course it only could launch a small orbital rocket.

Now Kerbal is an interesting way to get very crude approximations. And the reason usually that my above simple calculation ends up not impressing as much as it should is that the orbital rocket needs to transition from a horizontal flight path to something much steeper, or it will take a very long path through the upper atmosphere. This long path ends up creating a huge amount of friction eating into much of your gains imparted by the air launch.

Even though the atmosphere ~30 km high is incredibly thin, it will burn your vehicle that is racing though it at speeds that are ballpark Mach 10 (possibly considerably higher). In other words, massive amounts of friction.

A ground launched vehicle can take almost the shortest way, and pierce the atmophere with minimal friction---almost a vertical path through. That is ground launch's biggest advantage. It will pierce the thickest part of the atmosphere vertically and gracefully and optimally arc into a horizontal path near its peak (the height of the orbit).
The article mentions that a problem of investing _that_ much money is the scale.

Is assume you'd have non-negligeable effects on what you invested in/effects in the intermediate levels (like putting too much money through the order book)? S&P 500 market cap is 32 trillion. 100 billion is 0.3% of that.
I wonder if the BOUND instruction could have been used to call int 21h more than once.

That would have the same problem that after return the BOUND instruction would be re-executed, but perhaps there are useful DOS calls that after execution modify the registers such that the bounds check wouldn't fail afterwards.
I know it's a lot of fun writing Forths and that's how most people tend to experience Forth, but I like to urge people to actually build applications on Forth. Understanding Forth by writing applications is probably the best way to get a feel for Forth.

Most of these issues stem back to endothelium damage. And the good news is that, in addition to taking all the vaccines you're eligible to get, there are a bunch of other things you can do to strengthen and protect your endothelium, e.g. doing HIIT and taking ACE inhibitors. The one risk we (afaik) don't really know how to mitigate is the risk of developing an autoimmune disorder, but this can happen after any viral illness and isn't necessarily a COVID-specific risk.

And in terms of reducing the risk of neurological issues, Palmitoylethanolamide seems to a least be much safer than NSAIDs, albeit expensive and still somewhat experimental.

Because this is the point they concluded would maximize the benefits relative to the costs and downsides.

I don’t believe this will resolve the issue.

- Promises are created: 1,2,3,4
- The for loop awaits promise 1
- Promise 3 is rejected
- Promise 1 is resolved
- The for loop awaits promise 2
- …

Somewhere in this, promise 3’s rejection would be considered unhandled (I’m not sure exactly when).
This is funny because it's one of these things that is :

- empirically incorrect (the idea that very few people beat the index)

- but repeatedly constantly with unbelievable confidence by people who don't know the subject well

- while misunderstanding the reasons why someone with that level of wealth wouldn't want to buy the index even if it gave them statistically good returns
It's an unfair way to fix the problem.

Let poorer countries pay to train nurses and doctors, and then wealthier countries take the best because they can pay more for them due to economic dominance.

We do it in New Zealand by importing a lot of doctors (Chinese and Indian seem common), and nurses . The reason we need to import doctors is because we export a lot of doctors and nurses to wealthier countries such as the USA.

In New Zealand, we get people from poorer countries because we can pay more, and we also get people from first world countries because people want to move here for the lifestyle or for their children.
Worth keeping in mind that the targets the WHO is setting are likely temporary, and they’re just goals we should aim for, because the air pollution is currently higher than the goal. There is a historical pattern of these goals being adjusted toward zero.

There isn’t a single threshold either, there are several graded tiers they recommend cities and countries aim for, depending on how bad their pollution currently is. Ultimately, you’re right, 0 is the ideal. That said, one small nit: the cutoffs aren’t arbitrary, the WHO’s lowest level (“AQG”) is set to the “lowest levels of exposure for which there is evidence of adverse health effects.” This value was adjusted downward last year because we’ve accumulated new and compelling evidence of adverse health effects since the last time they set AQG guidance in 2005. Chances are high they’ll adjust downward again the future as we gather more evidence.

You mention a lot of the negatives of cars and express frustration that people won't budge on the issue but the reason you run into so much opposition is because cars are the most empowering invention for the average person ever.

For most people the trade offs are worth it 100 times over.
No, it's the homes. This is pretty obvious because homelessness happens in places with expensive home values, not in Appalachia where they're poor and addicted to meth. But they aren't in New Jersey because it has constitutional affordable housing requirements.

Most homeless people aren't literally on the street either, they're in precarious situations like cars or people's couches.
How is your taste? I lost it completely (not just a little or muted, but 100% gone) for about 5 weeks. It started to come back, but 18 months later things still don't taste right. Nothing is flavorful or stands out as delicious.

> I really wanted to be upset with the company here, but it sounds like she shot herself in the foot.

Both of these things can be valid at the same time. She was certainly technically in the wrong and made some questionable choices (with the huge caveat that it’s possible context we don’t have may change the story entirely), but I still think the company is overbearing to the point of absurdity.

If she slacked off for 50 hours over 6 weeks, that’s like an hour and a half a day (which may not have been contiguous). I can’t think of a job I’ve ever had where I didn’t have an hour of down time a day on average. Even working crappy manual labor jobs I’m sure I dicked around with my coworkers for like an hour a day.

She may be a bit on the high end there, but not so much that I wouldn’t have worked with her to correct it before firing her.
Science does not say anything like that. You can certainly have a small amount of lead an lead and not experience any observable increased risk to your health.

Brin is unloading resources into ailments most likely to affect him.

It's an understandable strategy, though also self serving. They could instead aspire to have the largest possible positive impact across all of humanity. This is the basis for the argument that it's not right for any single human to be entrusted with such a disproportionately high amount of discretionary resources.

Primary standards are meant to determine healthy levels, including for vulnerable people like children and the elderly. They are not intended to determine what levels are economically efficient. That's handled during implementation, not when setting the primary standards.

So the EPA does consider it, they just do it in a later step. "Garbage in, garbage out," so you want to make sure your medical science is accurate when it goes into the economic analysis.

I added it to Digital Mars C and C++ in the early 1990s. Also full NaN support in all the math.h functions. AFAIK it was the first C compiler to do it.

It was based on a specification worked out by NCEG (Numerical C Extensions Group), a long forgotten group that tried to modernize C numerics support.

Covid fatigue is no joke.

As an Elite Athlete I'm training 20-30 hours a week. I got covid last year (triple vaxed) and it wiped me out for a good 6 months. It took me 3 weeks to be able to walk longer than a minute without needing to lay down for the rest of the day and sleep.

I have dealt with fatigue problems for 6 months and only just now, do I feel like I'm getting "back to normal".

The most frustrating thing is alot of people are dismissive of the symptoms and generally say, "Oh yeah, I get tired too" but fail to understand the severity of it as they haven't experienced it.

I have a fairly good understanding of my body and the associated symptoms of overtraining/fatigue in a heavy training cycle but covid fatigue was soemthing completely different.
Twitter was down in NZ and Australia for something like 16h recently with no official communication and no status update. It's the new normal.

My wife cannot drive due to her disability. Whenever somebody tells me you don't need a car I just laugh. Since almost everyone can do it, you don't really think how much you depend on it.

This is what the walkable city's crowd doesn't understand.

Cars are pure freedom. Mass transit is state biopower/biopolitics.
If it were as simple as DNA errors accumulating with age we should observe 1) big population-level jumps in complications when parents started having babies in their 20s rather than teens (in India, my grandparent's generation, 14,15 for the mother and 17,18 for the father) and 2) big population-level effects in complications across birth order. Do we?
