Here's my thesis procrastination story:

I remember sitting in the explanation lecture, 18 months before the deadline for my undergrad thesis. Even then, I was nervous about handing it in on time. So I did the usual things, made week by week plans, asked my supervisor to check in with me etc. Of course, as a serial procrastinator I didn't come close to sticking to the plan. I fiddled around with a few things but didn't really do anything.

Fast forward to a week before the deadline. I a few broken prototypes and no very little else of the 10,000 word thesis I was supposed to hand in at the end of the week. I finally broke down in front of my professor. In the end I sat around the corner from his office all week as he checked on me every hour or so to make sure I was writing it. I took breaks to go cry in the toilet. I just barely managed to finish it and hand it in on time. I cried again, this time tears of joy and relief.

What really stands out to me, apart from the heroic push at the end, is that in the back of my mind I knew I was going to procrastinate on this project and even that knowledge wasn't enough to stop me. The planning, organization, calendars, todo lists and so on didn't help.

Later in life I was diagnosed with ADHD. With medication and coping techniques things are getting better.

If you struggle with procrastination on a grand scale you have an emotional problem, not an organizational one. No amount of planners, charts, calendars or todo lists will solve it(though they are good to have for other reasons). You need emotional solutions. Therapy, medication, meditation, introspection.

For anyone struggling with procrastination I wish you all the best. It is a lifelong problem. Don't expect to be able to solve it over night, but it can get better.
Have fun dealing with the global starvation that happens later.
I am not sure how to tease "genetic" and "cultural" components apart in such cases. No one is, that is why the field of studying human behavior is such a politicized mess.
And the s3 buckets/dynamodb/whatever other data you store should be vpc restricted. Ours are like this by default, for exceptions (like aws services that run in some internal vpc that's not exposed) you can make an exception per role.
Sure thing! I only know about it because I've worked on more AX bug reports related to text layout than I care to admit...

I think the 80 characters-per-line for code was a holdover from when IBM punch cards had 80 CPL, but I could be wrong there. I know American typewriters had about 80 CPL, so from a typography perspective maybe that's why 80 is the accessibility sweet-spot? If it's the ballpark equivalent to what we'd see on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper?
When it got to the writing-up stage of my PhD (social sciences) I tried to avoid procrastination by setting myself a target of 500 words a day. I figured that if a thesis was 100K words, knocking out 500 a day would get me there in less than a year. I put a few extra rules in place (they needed to be 'good' words, edited, revised and not just enough to hit the word target) but once I hit that target I felt like I had made progress towards the larger goal - even if just a little bit.

Daily targets became sections, sections became chapters, and eventually I had my thesis. Had I not worked to this sort of structure I am sure that I would have put it off one more day, one more week...and never got there even if the research was done.
Elon didn't know there were third party clients and immediately shut them off when he found out.

They also seem determined to show people the algorithmic timeline, so a client that actually listens to you would fight that.

What hardware can this run on?
.. oh, and just to add one more thing, seems like the higher you go, the more of a business person you become anyways. Because for most decisions, the technical and business aspects go hand in hand - should we implement a new payment system in Europe? If we do, how long do we think it will take? Or is it even feasible? If we it is, will it work in all European countries? Will it be easy to maintain?
The business person often has little idea on any technical estimates, but these are crucial to making an informed decision. We work together with them to come up with our best belief on whether the idea is worthwhile.

And agreed, it is a lot of responsibility, but again, it's only when an engineer rises in their company.
In this breach it looks like it has extremely sensitive information there enough for identity theft and fraud. Let alone easy SIM swapping attacks.

> However, some basic customer information was obtained, such as name, billing address, email and phone number, T-Mobile said.

This isn't even the first time they got breached and yet it has happened again. They have not learned anything.

I think it is time that we stop using phone numbers as a login mechanism. It has always been a completely stupid idea from the beginning of its use.

Let the SIM swapping attacks and identity theft games begin.

I have security foils in my windows, though more against thieves than against a nuclear blast. The glass should break, but either stay in the window, or fall out in one blob kept together by the foil.
Now do Comcast Xfinity. They've been leaking customer information for years without ever disclosing it.
Probably because they didn’t want to spend much time reading potential citations they were trying to find to bolster their argument and assumed I wouldn’t either.

Without 2FA enabled, google can and will lock you out of your own account for no good reason with zero recourse, stating they "cannot identify you" or that "your browser is insecure". We lost several paid business gapps accounts due to this.
Full on nuclear war is pretty unlikely as it is really in no-ones interest to invite retaliation in kind. An isolated nuclear attack however is more likely than ever. This whole "will they or will they not?" business with Russia is getting pretty scary. And then there are Iran, North Korea, and a few other places where nuclear weapons are a factor and the economics are trending towards desperate. Not a good combination.

I would say the chance for that might be creeping up a little bit lately. Too many nuclear armed, trigger happy, and increasingly desperate despots around right now. Hard to put a number on it. But I'd say it's high enough to start thinking about counter measures, defensive strategies, and an appropriately violent and fierce response to disincentivize any further escalation. Doesn't have to be a full on nuclear war. But it can't just be a slap on the wrist either.

Dividend adjustment wouldn't really matter in this study. The price discount at dividend ex date should match the price increase post earnings announcements, so it's netted and disappears once you compute >=quarterly returns.
> New C/C++/asm based hobby kernels are started (and abandoned) everyday on /r/osdev. Nowhere near as many in Rust by a wide margin. Instead the Rust community seems to have placed all their bets on an "outside in" rewrite of the Linux kernel in Rust. While I think this may well be great for Linux in the long term, its a little dissapointing that there is not more momentum for "from scratch" projects yet. Even Linux started as "as hobby, not big and professional like GNU". Which leads to my next point ...

I think you may just be not looking where the rust people are posting. All you're really saying is that they aren't on /r/osdev, and frankly I don't find that surprising. Here are some of the more flagship projects

The biggest rust kernel/os project I'm aware of is https://www.redox-os.org/

It's a bit out of date by now, but this is an excellent guide written in rust: https://os.phil-opp.com/minimal-rust-kernel/

On the embedded side, this is a commercial project that actually "matters": https://github.com/oxidecomputer/hubris

This is a uni-kernel that I've heard about quite a few times: https://github.com/hermitcore/rusty-hermit

Naturally there's a bunch more smaller projects, and maybe larger ones that I haven't heard of.
Paper. As another poster here mentioned, in case of emergencies paper is the only reliable medium. I have two files of medical records that are chronologically ordered. When I need to go to a new doctor, I just pick up the relevant file and go; hand it over to them and let them scan whatever history they want into their system.

For ease of finding records personally, I have also scanned all of those documents and stored them in a self hosted instance of paperless-ngx along with a standard 1-2-3 backup strategy. In case something happens to the physical file, I should be able to recover the information pretty quickly

Speed limits don't make sense tbh. They should notify drivers of the design speed for a section of the road, but it shouldn't be treated as a hard limit. Whether a driver is a danger to others or not is a subjective call, we should let police officers make that call, without defining strict criteria. Sometimes a car going at 110 in a 100 is perfectly safe, and another going 50 is extremely dangerous.
I haven't been in a federal interview, but I would say it gets more focus merely because it is the most popular of the illegal drugs by a landslide.

The government has to remind you it's illegal because well "everybody" does it and it really doesn't seem like it actually is and it sure as hell doesn't feel like you're doing something wrong or harmful. So somebody has to tell you that this drug is really bad because you'll go to jail for it for a long time.

The main reason pot is bad is because it will get you a jail sentence. The main reason you'll get a jail sentence is because it's bad. Hope that clears it up.
Yes, I was going to make the same point. I'm not sure this was a conscious decision on Orwell's part, the idea of freedom and autonomy would probably not have been linked to car ownership for him back then, as it is now. And there are other, stronger reasons mentioned elsewhere in these comments, impracticality, cost, privilege etc. But viewed in retrospect I think this is valid.
Because we let them get away with it.
All textbooks define it that way. There is no other definition available for that symbol.

I can understand that feeling.

When English got rid of ‘thou’ and “thine” those were replaced by referring to everyone with the more polite “you“, that surly helped adoption.
Lets try this another way.

You bought a display that exclusively integrates into Netflix, it can only display Netflix content, but you have to pay an annual fee to the display manufacturer for it to continue working.

It's January and you've just paid your annual subscription. But on the 15th of Jan Netflix decides to stop allowing your display manufacturer access, and your display becomes a useless brick.

Having only just paid for your annual subscription you'd want a refund - you're no longer getting access to the service you were paying for.

We can keep coming up with anologys but the fact remains that the app developer guaranteed access to a service which they can no longer provide. It doesn't matter if its an app, a display, or anything else. Your agreement is with the app developer, not Twitter. Your payments go to the app developer, not Twitter. If the app developers entire business is built around hoping Twitter never closes off their access then thats totally on them when things go south.

That's not because of material scarcity most of the time, it's because the US has very bad land use policies so we don't build enough houses for you to buy.

No. A single speck of pot + just being someone that owns guns at all is 10 years in jail. Look up "constructive possession."

AFAIK it's the feds position that even merely having a medical marijuana card (which doesn't mean you actually have ever even bought/consumed weed) and owning a gun makes you a felon.

Dystopian is the day that Apple sells your location information to the local police force and you just get a speeding ticket in the mail every time you drive 1mph over the speed limit. (Is there a statute of limitations on speeding tickets? They can get you for your entire driving career with a mere SQL query!)

Speaking of dystopias, I'm surprised that they don't issue speeding tickets based on the time that EZ-PASS sees your transponder in various locations. They must imagine too much backlash, or tacitly endorse some speeding already. (I've never seen someone get a ticket for going 60 in a 55, though I'm sure it must happen.)
Does the market, who should know, agree with you?

(Hint: US 10 year T-bond rate is 3.4%. That's not very high. Also, we have the world's largest military and can do whatever we want.)

If you want an exciting doomer story to believe in, try deflation. It's worse than inflation, so you'll look more cynical.
It's marketing strategy.

Would you rather be a 1k user app where no one is excluded or would you rather be a 100k user app while excluding 5k people.
This might be dangerous advice, but consider interactively using a language model in writing "vomit draft". I tried copilot recently, and even though some of what it suggests is "no, no, NO!"-material, it really helps. I hadn't known how much simple writing block - struggling to write the easy parts - kept me back.
Not dropping, placing.
Yes, that's true. I didn't say it can't happen however your arguement uses hypothetical additional false information.
For someone doing 50 in a 100mph zone in the US, you can get a ticket for that currently. In most states the minimum speed limit is usually between 10-15mph under, unless otherwise posted.
Yes, that's Cunningham's law. I generalized it because I genuinely believe it still holds, and applies nicely here. Sorry if my comment above was confusing.
I think it’s similar to how search engines keep their ranking formulas secret, and you can’t run your own off a copy of their index.

Yet we also all contributed to it by publishing (and feeding it, for instance by following googles requirements for micro data). But we don’t own any of it.
Sure, and if those happen then the developer will eat the cost. They've only asked people politely not to, given the extraordinary circumstances, not said that people cannot.

The companies providing third party clients had already renegotiated their relationship with Twitter over the past few years, achieving a more stable baseline, API changes, defined escalation routes, etc. Musk's buying of the company and capricious shutting down of third parties without even having the option of having them do things like incorporate adverts is hardly something it was possible to plan for over the long term.
Is your issue with how a government is run or the existence of government?
In real world we have Germany which used natural gas for base load power generation which resulted into explosion of energy prices. Now they are using "expensive" coal and have manageable prices.

France restarted its nuclear power plants and guess what? Prices for energy went down! How is that even possible when renewables are so cheap and nuclear power can't compete with price?

That's because renewables by installed capacity looks like a big source of power, but by actually provided energy they are negligible rounding error, especially in winter.
We're talking about a no fly list which every airline in the world has a copy of. There's at the very least hundreds, if not 10s of thousands, of employees of airlines alone that have access to this list.

If people had such an innate propensity to divulge secrets, surely the employees who setup that faulty jenkins server would have already sent you a copy of the no fly list, right?
Sadly no marauder in the selection. Would love to see the comparison

Everyone doesn't know how to successfully invest or there wouldn't be so many middle class and poor people. Buying and holding (a broad index tracker) seems like the best strategy for someone who doesn't know about the businesses or can't be bothered to follow the market. It's the most passive strategy.

Imo the mistake most make is they mentally compare it to themselves reading a bit online and then picking stocks based on what they feel will perform well. Of course this can only go wrong. If you're an expert in an area like the first quant traders or someone who understands startups and does angel investing, you can absolutely beat the market and people do it all the time. That's how some people get rich, you can not become truly rich by working a 9-5 office job and buying a few stocks. Unless theoretically you trade the riskiest penny stocks with leverage and magically come out on top every time like some of those WSB guys. I've yet to hear of cases where this works long term. The smartest ones know when they get lucky and stop playing, because that's pure gambling.

For GDPR, it does not matter where a company is headquartered. GDPR applies to EU citizens (users, customers). That's why big companies often comply with GDPR for EU citizens but completely ignore it for people outside. It would be interesting to see if that's the case for T-Mobile. If the leak exposes GDPR violations, fines will most likely follow.
First time I heard about this. And I think I really really like it.

I have a huge writers block for anything I'm good or within my specialized field, it's kind of strange. Especially for scientific work this is extra bad, not being able to write, no matter how much time I dedicate to it.

I'll take this approach to heart next time, thanks. I think this is right up my alley, including the funny name for it.

> the homepage really does say "hello i am maia arson crimew (it/she)".

> I'd feel uncomfortable referring to anyone as "it" though

In Five Children and It (published in 1902), the "It" of the title is a magical creature. However, one of the characters is a human baby who is always referred to with the pronoun "it". I glossed right over that reading the book as a child, but I found it pretty disturbing rereading as an adult.

However, once rereading the book had called the phenomenon to my attention, I noticed that it's not uncommon for me to want to refer to a generic child as "it". I wouldn't refer to a specific child that way.

So referring to a person as "it" is sometimes the normal thing to do. (And, of course, intensely inappropriate at other times.) On the other hand, the intro appears to specify that maia arson crimew wants people to use "she", an exclusively subject pronoun, as the object pronoun for she. That is deeply unnatural and virtually nobody will be able to comply; it's much worse than using "it" for a person.
