> Issue: fixed-route, fixed-schedule (FRFS) mass-transit systems are obsolete

I doubt that I'm going to find much to agree with here.

> Vision: variable-route, variable-schedule (VRVS) systems are sustainable

Is this meant as a "we will find some way to make them sustainable"? Or "they already are sustainable"? Seems like bad writing, either way.

> Challenges: standardization, traveler trust, legal constraints, and external threats

Oh man, at least they admit that everyone thinks they're going to kill people and break laws with impunity. I'm surprised that they don't have "safety" listed, though.

> Mass-Transit Solutions for an Automobile Culture: FRFS transportation systems such as railroads, no matter how fast the trains, will have little effect on automobile drivers and traffic.

[Citation needed] But seriously, if you start with the assumption that people will never use mass transit, even when it's obviously faster and better, than I guess you could get here?

> The Promised Land: CAVs - single-occupant cars, taxis, limos, and buses - operating on CAVWAYs under common protocols, protected from human drivers, will operate as VRVS systems, offering safe, efficient, secure, accessible, sustainable mass transit.

You can just say "gadgetbahn", you know.

> In California, where most of the right-of-way was procured for freeways and highways, railways would be redundant with the new CAVWAYs; new routes and right-of-way for trains would be very expensive.

Wow, it's a shame that building new rights of way would be expensive and unworkable. Glad we can instead build new rights of way that are, uh, not expensive or unworkable?

> AVs on CAVWAYs will use far less energy than vehicles idling in freeway traffic jams. Those CAVs will be fuel efficient because they can remain safe using light-weight construction. Constant CAV speeds and ride-share services will also reduce fuel use. And, CAVs on CAVWAYs will use the most-effective energy sources available at the time.

These types of systems refuse to realize that roads have a carrying capacity, and traffic slows down when more cars are added past that capacity. No amount of automation will solve this.

Try telling that to management. Even if you put the undisputable facts and statistics of how successful it's been in recent trials (the UK one for example was an overwhelming success) they still come up with excuses. "Clients wont accept it", "We'll get less work done", "It wont work for us", "We'll look at it in the future".

They'll never learn. And for any manager reading this, no, there is absolutely nothing special about your individual situation that means it wont work for you. Stop lying to yourself and your staff.
I've been going through this book, not once did I have to think about memory management (beyond adding a few &), it's simply not needed at this high level and crates manage most of the low level details for you. I especially haven't had to think about Arc, Rc, etc either.

You must be referring to the constrained width of the page, you can change that in the preferences if you really prefer having the text cover your whole screen.

There's a reason we have a character limit per line when writing code - it's much easier to read and understand short chunks of vertical text. Personally, I find it far more comfortable reading text which doesn't go above 600-900px in width and this has been a well known UX/UI guideline for the last 10 years. Having your eyes go from the far left to the far right of your screen is also very straining on any >21" screen.
This only benefits the rich, and that's why it will lead you totally astray. It simply leads you to people who've never had to make difficult choices in their life and THAT is why they have never chosen "wrong". Without pressure, making the right choice is not just easy, it destroys your character.

If you think these people will react well in high stakes situations, or under prolonged pressure/stress ... well, go consult for a financial security department of any bank (they need data analysts and programmers, so no problem). Or get some stories from a police officer. There is no shortage of very reputable people who beat up or abandon their family, financially and for real (and while majority male, in reality it's like 60-40 male-female, not that big a difference).

If you think you as an employer will get better treatment ... that's delusional.

It does not speak against someone if they've, say, stolen as a teenager and regret it. If they've gotten into a serious fight and accepted responsibility that should speak to their character. Of course this means that there are circumstances, limits where they will ignore the law. These people simply know what their limits are, and won't snap without warning, lashing out.

Unfortunately these sort of absolutist morals seem to be on the rise. You're merely selecting for people who were born rich, who will behave "perfect", until, suddenly and without warning, without even seeing it coming themselves, do something completely reprehensible, then hide it. A good number of them see themselves as inherently better than people who had and dealt with actual problems in their lives. Of course, the opposite is true: they're much worse.

Absolutist morals like this attitude means one has to behave like those rich "never did anything wrong" people (despite getting arrested for beating up their girlfriend drunk). That behavior is, of course, to lie about it.

Techniques like this will also give a massive advantage to people with psychological problems like narcissism or antisocial disorders. They lie, but they have decades of experience lying about themselves. You cannot seriously hope to see through that without applying pressure. Perhaps the "how they treat serving staff" thing, but only if they're idiots.

Of course management is famous for admitting loads of people with such disorders. Perhaps this is why ...

Data exchange formats are a detail which can, often is, and quite frankly should be specified in partnership and/or vendor contracts.

PDF-based interchange of structured data as part of an ongoing relationship ... seems to reflect a poor business relationships management.

(And yes, there are all manner of organisations which fail to follow good practices whether on grounds of competence or malice, but generally, this is how I'd suggest addressing this issue. I'd also strongly suggest checking to see if such a data exchange option is already available.)

This notion reduces the totality of human interaction to language. Do you think proto-huminoids who hadn't developed complex language felt lonely because they lacked an ability to explain themselves?

If I become a duller and less complicated person, will I be able to more easily explain myself, and therefore less lonely? Absurd.

There are many ways to bond with others that are non-verbal.

Yes you can, that's why elderly people who get influenza strains that they were exposed to as children are much less likely to succumb to it than those who didn't. Lack of full lasting immunity doesn't mean zero immunity.

You can't avoid exposure to a highly contagious respiratory virus. You can't spend the rest of your life masked. And evolution would have make us capable of adapting to being able to handle such viruses. It's not like COVID-19 would be the end of the human race without indefinite masking/social-distancing. Viruses like COVID-19 have emerged innumerable times in the past. Without an innate ability to acquire some level of immunity to such viruses, we wouldn't exist.

COVID-19 was only different in that in 2019, at risk demographics like the elderly population, had no prior exposure to it.
I mean, in real terms, I've come out way ahead since I get a lot more PTO now and probably wouldn't have cashed much (if any) out when quitting regardless. If the alternate was to keep my measly PTO allowance but still get the possibility of cashing it out someday when I quit, I am definitely happier this way.

Discogs is a decent and easy-enough resource for checking if any of them are notable. There are often etchings in the runout (the inner groove near the label) that you can search for on Discogs to identify specific pressings. You can also sell through Discogs, but it sounds like you're leaning toward keeping them and LA is full of local shops that would buy or take them.

This is exactly what you should not be doing. There have been much less severe issues in protocols that have led to everyone going away from it. What may be difficult to exploit practically now, will be easy to exploit in a bit of time. And probably peanuts for gov actors with a lot of resources.

Close enough to the same, but that number is now a footnote on the box instead of the primary selling point.

The average person, when asked how many watts that bulb is, is probably going to say "60" or "much less than 60 but I don't know how much".
Same observation here. We (Americans) just don’t care. Not like we’re sitting here huffing and puffing about metric.

Nobody. Cares.

At the end of the day, the one you’re used to is the one that makes more sense. There is no system that is objectively better “in all situations.”

Most people that strongly argue that one is better than the other are usually just saying “it’s better cuz I’m used to it”

Things I’ve learned in my years as a software engineer (2021)
Who or what am I is the ultimate spiritual question (i.e, self-understanding). When you understand that loneliness wouldn't even be a concern, because that is an issue for who?
> Do folks really prefer the latter example? The first one is so clear to me and the second looks inscrutable.

Literally everything in programming is inscrutable until you learn it the first time. The latter should be trivial to understand for anyone who's spent even a little amount of time in a language with functional elements.

A day-one beginner doesn't understand a `for` loop. You probably think they're trivial. Bitwise operations are the same. They might be new to you, but `zip` and `map` frankly don't take much more effort to understand than anything else you probably take for granted. `zip` walks through everything in two separate wrappers and pairs up each element inside. `map` opens up a wrapper, lets you do something with what's inside, and re-wraps the result.

For instance, you can do the exact same thing with arrays. Pair up each element inside (like a zipper on clothing), then for every element inside, add them together:

[1, 3].zip([4, 1]).map(|(a, b)| a + b ) # [5, 4]

That said, you can write this specific function even simpler:

Some(x? + y?)
My alternative suggestion would be to worry less about individuals and more worry about if the organization is producing something of value. After that, you can start to pick and prod at the individual contributions if you want, but expect that any team will likely have a step function that is their effectiveness. As such, you may remove the least functioning member of a team, and then find that you dropped the entire team to nothing.

It is almost certainly true that there can be drags on the morale of a team. People that are causing things to go slower in detrimental ways. It is also almost certainly true that sometimes having someone around that is just fun to talk to for the rest of the team is enough to keep the entire team functioning.

I agree. "I'd have close relationships (and not feel lonely) if I could simply, accurately explain myself."<-- seems sus.

Not all people who are lonely are misunderstood. Perhaps others understand the person, but don't agree with their actions/thoughts/etc, so they isolate themselves from the person. Being misunderstood could contribute to loneliness, but it isn't the sole cause someone would be lonely.
Measuring individual developer productivity is impossible without also creating perverse incentives that destroy business value. The smallest unit you can usefully measure is a single Scrum team (and even at that level most metrics will have wide error bars and a lack of statistical significance).
For most people.
I'd add that nothing with sufficient complexity can be adequately described in a simple words, let alone explained in a concise yet simple manner.

You may go up in abstraction to make it concise, but this risks either oversimplifying to the point that all nuance is lost and you feel alone, or requiring that the other person shares sufficiently overlapping definitions. They may probe further to build said abstractions, but this requires a time investment, and as you said, the capacity to relate to some extend.

I believe that a person who understands themselves well is bound to have a rich inner world and abstractions that adequately describe them while feeling very natural but because we are all humans with our own subjective experiences, finding people with similar abstractions - and experiences - such that we can relate to each other is difficult.

To be clear, this free forever deal is in order to provide some special benefit to early adopters like yourself who have supported Codeium from the beginning.

We spend an absurd amount of time profiling, benchmarking, and making stuff run fast in Bun

Most of Bun is written in native code (zig) rather than JavaScript. We leverage modern CPU features like SIMD, closely watch syscall overhead and spend a lot of time reading about system calls and platform-specific system APIs

Bun is still pretty early - we are not at 1.0 yet. There are crashes and many bugs to fix, but we are making steady progress towards a stable release

non-sequitur.

I did see this occur personally with this breakfast joint that closed down when some law changed that required some minimum benefits or something or other that added to the payroll expenses and made the venture not worth it. I remember the owner going around informing the guests at their tables that they'd be closing in the next month and if anyone knew of any jobs for their employees they'd welcome the suggestions. It was one of the rare breakfast places in town so it was very missed by us when it bailed. Eventually that location became a Five Guys. It took several years but eventually another breakfast place moved into town.
I've eased this multi-project burn out in those steps:

- move all projects to a monorepo. This is great because all projects are in one place, they become interconnected as some code will end up being a library for multiple ones. This ensures that even when I'm doing side-project "foo" some of the code or stuff will also end up improving "foo" or "bar".

- move the monorepo to github codespaces. The very last thing I want to do when I want to work on my side projects after some time is to remember how I had to setup everything, from ide, to the os, etc.

- keep todos, documentation, notes, all in the monorepo. What did I have to do? `apps/foo/todo.md` or search in the project for "TODO:". No point into having docs on different services, they stay close to the project.

- write E2E and integration tests first, never unit test anything that doesn't really need to, implement in the end.

And that's it. Lowering a lot the entry barrier to contributing and getting back on projects was a huge step (I literally need codespaces to load). Then came creating an ecosystem around my projects thanks to the monorepo. I can now forget a project for months and come back to it with a small effort or checking back where I was.

I admit I will never write git in two days like Linus, I won't be releasing a hit game on Steam at any time, but I have fun with my projects, I learn a lot, and even though they move slowly they do move consistently in time.

Not saying you will release a banger OSS project this way or some killer application that will make you rich, that requires discipline and focus more than organizing a git repo and few tools, but you will build yourself a nice playground which at every iteration will make further experimentation or production have lower friction.
I think all too often you get so burned out that it doesn't really matter what changes it won't be enough. It's like when they offer you a 3% pay increase to stay when you give your two weeks, it's too little too late. I think it's the responsibility of a manager to keep their people from over working, they certainly have no problem saying something if you are under performing. If people are burning out it's the managers fault, it does the company no good to have a top resource out for several weeks because they had a nervous break down from over work.
You must be a joy to work with. I feel sorry for the rest of your team, having to deal with that kind of view on everything.

I disagree.

The value of a human is in reacting to changing requirements, considering context and in understanding other humans. AI cannot do any of that reliably.

Some office tasks can be automated and those that can don't need AI anyway - they need properly labelled data, databases and some coding.

AI will be very good at creating the illusion of competence. AI cannot actually ensure competence or verify it. That will remain the domain of humans.
