CO2 buildup in the lungs triggers the breathing reflex in most mammals, with high levels of CO2 leading to the sensation of asphyxiation.

Nitrogen, on the other hand, is completely imperceptible (at least in humans; I assume the same thing is true for other animals). People have died in nitrogen rich atmospheres because they had no idea they were in a hypoxic environment until they lost consciousness.

So why not switch to nitrogen asphyxiation instead? Is it that much more expensive? The quality of meat might be better, since the animals would not be stressed moments before dying.
Currently writing my MS thesis. "Concat all my existing work into a doc" was my initial move as well, and I discovered I had written a little on almost every topic already. In some cases, had written lots.

That let me move to outlining and shuffling things around almost immediately, making writing about filling gaps instead of staring at a page. That in turn let me evolve my writing along with the codebase; now, in late January, I'm well ahead of schedule on written material (knocks on wood)
Don't forget that 1 British Pound is $1.20 USD

£999 is really $1236 (and to be fair, the USA has an average sales tax of ~5%)

In Germany they are 1.199,00 €, which is $1301

A worket council is by no means a union, it is an elected council of employees representing employees interest all the way to the board. Usually so, members of the workers council are members of whatever union is representing the industry, in Mercedes case IGM (Industrial union of metal and electronic workers). Those members tend not to be union functionaries, but the head of Mercedes workers council for sure is an important figure within IGM.

I do have my issues with all rhe politics and self serving that can happen with those councils, the overall idea is pretty solid so.

For one situation gone wrong, google VWs Brazil scandals involving various private jet trips for high ranking worker councils members to visit their mistresses in Brazil.

I have met a few in my life. They are exceedingly rare and I have seen them burn out because of their intensity. Some problems require a particularly acute mind, others you can actually "throw programmers at" and get results, it depends on the problem at hand (quantity of work vs. innovation of work).
This is rational though. Why would you take someone who's a 10x at their current job and move them to a different job with a completely different set of skill requirements where they might not even be a 1x, and almost certainly won't be a 10x. It's a negative for the developer if they wanted to move into management, but I don't think it has anything to do with management feeling threatened.
that was literally hundreds of years ago

I'd like to try this, but it's tougher when you're collaborating on a shared document.

For example, I collaborate on papers that always start out as a shared Overleaf doc. When I'm starting a new section, I just want to toss some ideas down on the page, knowing that the prose is terrible. I can really enjoy this phase if I know it's free of judgment. However, it's so much harder when I know that someone might open the doc in an hour and judge my writing before I get to edit it - or worse, if I see that they've opened the page while I'm in the middle of it, or god forbid see their cursor click around near where I'm typing. It's a lot harder to concentrate until they leave or start editing somewhere else. I end up taking a while to write each paragraph, planning & editing as I go.

I'm sorry you feel this way and I hope things get better for you.

You didn't ask for advice, but I'd like to offer some. I recommend, at least once per year, putting your resume out on the market and trying to get at least one interview. Don't consider it as part of a plan to leave your current job, consider it practicing the skill of job seeking.

You will get tons of useful knowledge performing this task. First, you don't feel need/urgency, because you're not planning to leave your current job, so significantly reduced interview anxiety. Second, you get better at the skill of interviewing. Third, you get a better picture of what the potential employers in your area are hiring for (skills, etc.). And last but not least, you really find out what the market is offering to determine if you're being compensated fairly.

What's the worst that could happen? Someone convinces you to take a better job for more money?
Sqrrl hasn't existed for a long time, but I can tell you that they used a graph database (I don't know if it's public which one they used so I won't go further).

As someone who actually built a graph based SIEM (Grapl) I have opinions here.

Relational databases are fine for graph work. So are non relational databases. What matters more is really how you can model your data and how easy it will be to work with in a "graphy" way, as well as how your system scales by default.

What a graphdb is going to do is get a lot of that "right" out of the box. You'll have a query language/ schema language that makes it easier to express graphs (annoying in SQL imo), that optimizes your edge indexing and join behaviors, that provides graph algorithms and optimizes for them (find a path, etc).

Typical relational databases are not going to be optimized for this work. You're going to need to be very careful about your indexes and queries to ensure that a join doesn't blow things up. You'll just have more work out of the box, and then it's just like... why didn't you use something that exists to solve this?

SIEM scale is much larger than people may expect. You have massive retention (years), billions of events a day, and lots of queries. This makes a lot of problems way harder - like intelligently indexing your edge data.
They absolutely do. To pick one out of countless examples, YouTube Premium is about $1.56/month in India and $22.99/month in Canada.
I like it, but it's not what it used to be. A (friend? acquaintance?) of mine has a wife from PRC and is basically a troll, wore a costume PRC police outfit to a talk about the PRC circa 2016 and got quite a bit of side-eye.

But still, it suited the general ethos.
You're gaining a skill, though. For example, in future interviews, you will see obvious red flags that indicate a similar environment. Being able to gracefully navigate bureaucracy and not get burnt out by it is a very underrated skill.
Early in my career I worked in an absolutely toxic work environment. I was young and inexperienced and didn’t really know how bad it was. Or if this was normal or not. Additionally, the culture included a lot of fake positivity, so I felt like it was just me even though all my coworkers seemed miserable too. Years later in a world with Glassdoor I can read countless reviews that describe my exact experience and can see the company has terrible rating despite what appears to be leadership writing a bunch of fake 5/5 reviews to try and offset the bad real reviews.

The lesson I learned is that if work feels really bad you should leave asap. No one is going to care for you. The company is only going to even consider fixing it after everyone leaves and work stops getting done. Work isn’t worth your mental or physical health. Sometimes it is just a bad fit, but often it is just a badly run company, division, department, team or whatever.
This is 100% why we need a strong social safety net and/or UBI in the USA. Imagine if you could just quit a job like this, take a few months off, and start looking for a new job, without worrying about becoming bankrupt or homeless? The economy would thrive as individuals were free to move about the labor market, take time off to re-skill periodically, etc.

I was in a bad situation in a job, completely burned out. It was only when I had the opportunity to move in with family that I could quit and get my life back together. If I had the ability to just quit and spend some time collecting myself a year earlier, who knows how much happier and healthier I'd be, and how much sooner I'd have been able to return to productivity?
There's huge CoL differences to consider between the two, though, especially in housing and healthcare:

The article says 1200 students. Let's put 25 students per room, so there are 48 rooms. Add some overhead like an additional 50% for special rooms (like music of physics lab, the principal office), and an additional 50% for corridors and other stuff. Ok, 100 rooms. At $400 per room you get $40000, let's round it to $50000.

I'll suggest that the Rust core team, who are very experienced and capable at making compilers, PL design, data structures, might not know much about implementing the HTTP protocol, parsing XML, or particularly UI framework design (which has driven many engineers to madness already). They should focus on the language and let the community build tools for the application layer.
>Eastern Oregon is basically a different state

When I was regularly doing business in PDX, one of the things that struck me was how few people had any idea that there was any part of the state east of Bend. You'd be having this conversation and it turned into some kind of parody or comedy sketch where people really seemed to believe that the earth just sort of ended at The Dalles. I mean that's really far east!!!!.

I recall talking to one guy who was a tech exec that had lived in PDX for decades and I tried to describe where I lived, IE: just get on I-84 and keep going east... you would have thought I was an alien, as he clearly had no idea there was anything on I-84 east of Troutdale.

And that's the gap here... two culturally, economically, completely different peoples. She flies with her own wings...

Those who do have same qualifications are still payed much much less. Anecdotally, when Intel still had offices in Russia our salaries including stock awards were 3x or lower than those of the US personnel. Not because of difference in qualifications but because of the labor market (the salaries were very good considering other opportunities in my home city).
Thank you. I am hoping it gets easier when my kids are older and I live somewhere that's less isolating.
Fiduciary responsibility [1] is closer to the concept that applies here in my opinion. Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the company and thus the investment in the company for the investors and shareholders.

Can you explain the combo? You wear two watches at once?
Nobody can make you feel anything.

If true information induces feelings in you, perhaps it's more constructive to reflect on the information rather than the motives of the reporter?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't. The only thing I see listed on my Apple Watch is my Airpods. I have an Apple Watch series 6 (cellular model), iPhone 14 Pro Max, three HomePod Minis, an Apple TV 4K, and an M1 MacBook Pro. All of these devices are listed under my Apple ID within macOS system settings, so I don't know what gives. I guess to Apple's credit, there are a lot of failure points that could exist beyond their control around WiFi connectivity. But the three devices I listed that can serve as Home Hubs should help alleviate this issue when, for example, my Apple Watch isn't connected to WiFi. Maybe I should dig into this more.
Why should Adobe do this? Are they giving up a large market for their products in Egypt? If they reduced the price, would they make it up in volume? It doesn't sound like it.

Would they be able to prevent others in wealthier countries from taking advantage of a lower price in Egypt?

Why are Egyptian Pounds dropping relative to Dollars? How about fixing this at the ballot box? Or is that a dubious proposition as well?

Totally agree. I'm not arguing we throw away the Bill of Rights. I like your other point, it will always be difficult to balance those rights while protecting military/security interests. It will always be touchy.

It's one thing to go to your city/county police/government and complain loudly about rights violations, provoke confrontation, etc. This is where due process matters most in my opinion, general rule of law and due process in day to day life.

It's another thing to provoke military and national security apparatus and assume you'll get the same basic response from law enforcement.

I think any wise adult would know its a touchy area, best to steer clear unless you have a good reason to provoke. The people that do so are usually (not always) spies or combative/mental/tinfoil hat people with some sort of imagined axe to grind. Fuck around and find out. Better them finding out than me.
Interesting, I had never tried to "build a web server in Rust" so, I read these instructions
https://actix.rs/docs/getting-started and built one.

It did take about a minute to figure it out, and then I also spent another minute fiddling with the examples because I wanted to say funnier stuff.

Built, ran, checked on my local machine, very convinced, Rust makes a pretty good web server, would recommend.

I feel like that wasn't your point ?
I agree that's a risk. However you likely can do soft forms of development on company time such as reading documentation and code, pruning / responding to issues...

Additionally it's going to be hard to argue against(or sue) if you're improving a FOSS that your company depends on and benefits from a feature you add.
The salaries for devs are not that much different. You’re probably thinking about the ones from California, but that’s not a usual compensation for US devs.
It would apply as it pertains to being "in or affecting commerce"; it'd be quite the stretch to apply that to possession outside the immediate context of a purchase/sale/transfer, though I suppose it wouldn't be the first time the Feds abused the ever-loving hell out of the Commerce Clause. Maybe taking a gun across state lines while high would qualify?

> Also it would make little sense to have a law saying that you can't be a user of illegal drugs at the moment of purchase of a firearm, but you can start using such substances afterwards.

The law in question derives from the federal government's Constitutional authority to regulate interstate and international commerce, which is (I would guess) why the language fixates on that aspect. The federal government doesn't otherwise have the power to infringe on the Second, Fourth, and (possibly) Tenth Amendments - as would likely be necessary to federally require gun owners to submit to random drug tests over something that one's state has made legal.

Meanwhile, my state (last I checked) has laws on the books separately prohibiting intoxication (be it via cannabis, alcohol, or whatever) while in possession of a firearm; to my knowledge, most (all?) states do.

Maybe don't try to make what OP said worse than it was. It's fine if you don't agree, but don't extrapolate their argument into something they didn't say and then dislike them based on that.

Honestly, I mostly agree with OP, though I think I have chosen to mostly accomoate to the extent possible, just because I still want to throw parties. I mix a shirly temples and buy non-alcoholic rum and beer, get some vegan food if I'm serving food, etc. But it is, indeed, a pain, if maybe not a major one. I think the real issue here is just that people are glued to their screens and their pills. A lot of people don't want to party because they're already on a cocktail of pills (you know the ones) and that isn't compatible with a couple drinks for them.Mainly, though, people are atticted to games, doomscrolling, and TV, kind of in that order, and would prefer to sit getting quietly depressed rather than go out and spend time talking with people.
What I mean is that in most cases, BOTH autoinc int and UUID is wasteful.

For example if you have a situation where you really need the high performance of an integer ID like in your SQL Server example, why introduce a UUID into the equation at all? If you are in the unusual situation of needing such extreme performance that you're worrying about 4 vs 8 bytes on the PK, but also need to obfuscate the public facing ID, _potentially_ int+UUID makes sense. But in my experience that is that a pretty rare situation and there are other things you can do such as using a shorter randomly generated ID such as snowflake, random integers with collision detection (depending on write patterns) or encrypting your ID at the application layer (caveats emptor but unless you're relying on IDs for absolute security they shouldn't be a problem).

However, defaulting to autoinc int as FK and publicly visible UUID for "user friendly" ID seems like an odd thing to do. It seems like one of the least useful ID schemes.

> For internal use you should just use the integer ID for the most part, the UUID or similar being for external references.

I disagree. UUIDs are very useful even as internal identifiers in any area where performance isn't your top concern.

UUIDs are better than autoincs in almost every way except being slightly less performant. You could argue for a strictly internal ID that the security and uniqueness advantages don't matter very much, but I think it's better to default to the safest option in case your ID inadvertently becomes public at some point, or indeed in case you want to one day make public a previously internal-only record. But even if you know, for sure, that your ID will only ever be internal, they still make it possible to merge datasets easily, they're easy to correlate across multiple systems, are easier to find in log files, and can be generated at the application layer, which can make a big difference in transaction time in some cases.

The only reasons not to use UUIDs are that they are ugly and marginally slower, which for the vast majority of entities doesn't particularly matter. If you're at the point where the rest of your code is so optimal that the UUID is causing you problems, or your records are so tiny that the UUID is a big overhead, then that is an exception that I am very happy to make, but it rarely applies. Too often people assume that the overhead of a UUID is worse than it is because of how long they look, but then when you actually benchmark it, it's swings and roundabouts.

Besides, in most cases where I've defaulted to integers, I've come to regret that decision a few years down the line, where some complex system migration or new business requirement would have ended up much easier if we'd just bit the UUID bullet earlier on.
Treat the symptom, technically.

Higher prices in a different grocery store could be due to many things, such as higher labor costs, property taxes, etc.

But you can see price discrimination / segmentation even in the same grocery store. The old school way was via coupons. People who had time and inclination to clip coupons spent less (excluding their time and effort) for the same item from the same store. The more modern way, via apps, can drill down into an individual's willingness to pay price X for an item versus another individual's willingness to pay price Y for the same item.
I meant both of those things. Have you looked at society recently? The former is currently acting as a catalyst for the latter.
