So long as you (the employee) know the score this sounds like a sweet gig. Work for a year or so at a nice leasuirely pace, save up, get to put large investment bank on your CV, move on.

It’s the employees who don’t know that they’be been hired as the designated sacrificial goat I feel sorry for: That’s a potentially awful position to be in.
I'm impressed with how few of you while away your slow hours playing video games.

I recently "retired" from a major position after nearly a decade of 14 hour days and even though I took a couple of months off (and I am starting two new projects), I still love the freedom to just slack off and play Elden Ring for a couple hours every now and then.

It's not the most productive time in my life but that's OK. I'm sure it won't last, but it is so damn nice to be able to relax again after several decades of stress and high performance.

I'm not sure when you have been there last. The smoking ban passed a few years already, I haven't smelled cigarette smoke inside in a long time. Patios on the other hand is a different story altogether where sadly smoking is still allowed.
> What is Bumble supposed to do if the user asks them to delete all the data that is connected to them?

I was talking about this part raised above.
thanks for posting this insight, I would add that there are positive feedback loops from some parts of your behavior and would also counter the brother's conclusion that "sending an additional message never works"

in these kinds of threads, everyone is already primed to the worst case toxic scenario, or some other uncollaborative toxic scenario, specifically from the idea of the lowest denominator man harassing women

the reality is never so rigid

many dating profiles advertise their instagram, many times that is just a vanity project to gain followers, many times sending a message on Instagram or some other way to get noticed on Instagram can lead to agreed upon in person interaction such as dates and hookups, many times sending a message is fruitless because that person gets so much attention and their inbox is not useful, or because that person just hasn't checked their messages yet

I have absolutely had one night stands with someone I saw on a dating app, never attempted to match with, messaged them on Instagram and told them I saw them on the dating app, and went out the same day.

I've done that with women that I never even mentioned that I saw them on a dating app first. Beautiful people. The proverbial "thirst traps".

Sometimes we never even follow each other on the social media site. Just all DMs.

I've had flings and relationships with people that only reply sporadically. Or who give one word responses but are completely talkative in person. Or who apologize about not responding often because they are actually busy people who aren't trying to send a hint at all.

and the most important part of this? I have dozens of these low effort threads out there. For every one where its supposed to be interpreted as "a woman changing her behavior to be offstandish because they can't tell which man is a creep" there is "a woman thats not trying to send a hint at all collaboratively communicating like everyone else, good thing you tried again"

I would wager that most people do not keep track of whether they sent one girl 4+ unreplied messages in a row over any time period and its freaking her out, versus the conversation that will be replied to eventually. I try to be cognizant of "how it looks" no different than trying to be cognizant of how walking past a playground on the walking trail on the way to the grocery store looks. But changing my behavior because people can't tell which guys are going to go full stalker mode and assault people? Unlikely.
> still running fine is the elephant in the room here

No, it is not. Twitter had more down times in the last weeks than ever before. Regularly the timeline is not loading and since a few days the viewer count is broken.
I think the site looks grand. One suggestion would be to make your card background white rather than yellow. I think it would help with contrast against the background of the site and make the text easier to read. Other than that you have your opening times, your menu and your location, and it's all front and centre. The only thing I'd add is a map to make your location easier to find but that's not a huge deal.
Agree with everything here. I was liberated when I started to meditate, and even having concentration levels of just 5 seconds was a true revelation.

Also the write it down is so amazing. In meetings and while doing research I keep notes and lists for days, that I may never return to. But it’s active listening and studying even at a (seemingly) slow pace that keeps me going.

I would ask a different 'why', which is 'why is fentanyl so easily accessible?'. We know where it's made, how it gets into the US, a long list of reasons for why people start taking it. But why hasn't the supply of fentanyl to the US been restricted?

Given how many lives this destroys, how many people it takes out of the potential workforce, how many social problems this causes (crime, homelessness, exasperated mental health issues) - why isn't there the political will to change this?

Man, chocolate cigarettes. I remember those. Bizarre to think back to that. I'd never consider giving them to my children, but despite the fact that my parents didn't smoke and didn't want us to smoke, I still got these on occasion. And as a young kid, I definitely thought they were cool.

But as I got a bit older, certainly as a teenager, when almost all of my friends started to smoke, I've always considered smoking disgusting and was never even tempted to try it myself. I was happy to be the only non-smoker of the group, and was always careful to stay upwind of the group.

In retrospect, it's ridiculous that as a kid, I'd make clay ashtrays in school for my non-smoking parents. I'm not sad to see ashtrays disappear at all. They may have been pretty, but we could also make other things prettier. Why don't we do that?
It fills my time.
AFAICT nicotine is the lesser evil. It's addictve, and somehow toxic, but not hugely.

What makes cigarettes so vile is the actual smoke. The tars, the CO, the nitrous mess that's needed to keep the cigarette from extinguishing. The filter helps, but not a lot. A cigarette without any nicotine would still damage health a lot.

Fortunately, the addicts, and those who want the nicotine high, have the option of vaping now, which is close in the sense of the ritual required, but is much less detrimental to health.
Exactly. I get where the author is coming from but if you allow tech companies to perpentually save your data and try to cross link it to new accounts, it sets a bad precedent.
I am German, maybe this makes the difference. We define science as an object of study, with the basic distinction between natural sciences, which can be explained, and the human sciences that have to be understood. The social sciences enhance in the way also the natural sciences, as everything is a social construct, even physical terms, what is a desert, what is climate, or even what is a man or a woman. Philosophy once included natural philosophy where we would now locate the scientific method. But hermeneutics is equally a scientific method. The reduction of science to the explanation of "certain" physical phenomena is exactly why we then fail to understand the world.
Which zeitgeist? I'm not sure the anti-MBA sentiment has manifested to any significant degree outside of engineering professions; and in those professions, "MBA" is just a convenient way to group together "people who don't understand engineering," which itself is really just shorthand (knowing or not) for "people who have a different understanding of the business."

MBA programs have no need to be worried, because the people who generally control businesses know better.
Chris, have a warm f** you from me.
>Is there a global-scale natural disaster movie that is any good?

Deep Impact is not a great film, but does a surprisingly good job of telling its story in a moving way.

Its archrival Armageddon is also not a great film, but is arguably even more effective at its job (that being "fun summer popcorn thriller").
This seems a great opportunity. Fill in false information, don't submit it, and watch your credit score raise?
You're correct, it's creeping in mostly due to cookie cutter POS machines setup for US market (I assume), and Doordash/Uber/etc apps and websites baking it in. I'd guess the payment machines can be setup to hide it, but management figures we have a "choice" (under light duress) to not tip so that's good enough. There are also a lot of international people working in hospitality so I guess they wouldn't be as against it as a lot of locals and just assume it's normal.

There are pretty much weekly hate threads on r/australia and similar places on Reddit about this as you'd expect.

One other thing I did notice - when travelling the US and reading reviews, a lot of people talk about the service. It's rarely mentioned in reviews over here in comparison unless it's an outlier. I personally found the fawning attention quite cloying in the US, but it's a different culture I guess. Wondering if that'll change if tips gain a foothold.
no reason is given in the article, but the usual reason to avoid paypal is because their fees are like 3 times higher than alternative payment processors.
I'll only speak about Brussels since I'm Belgian.
There's a serious unemployment issue in Brussels. Brussels has more foreign born people than local born and definitely more than ethnic Belgians. The thing is it's not much tied to people born in the EU as per study. Those tend to come for the jobs requiring higher eductation for the EU, NATO or some international company or the like. They contribute to varying degrees (NATO folks are often tax exempt for example) but i don't think anyone wants them gone or cares too much.
It's not much tied to locals either. It's tied to the people that are typically the focus of anti migration parties which typically are non eu migrants.

They often don't have the education that the city demands nor the language skills (It's pretty damn easy to get a job if you speak the 2 national languages perfectly but don't have a degree for example).
All in all they don't really fit the niche of sustaining the social security net as is often brought up as the core advantage except for the fact that they have more children which is tied to a brand of persistent social conservatism ....which isn't really wanted either.

All in all it feels like immigration is happening too fast to avoid this group setting itself appart in various ways leading to (self)-segregation and probably persistent social strife down the line.
This is not only a bold claim, but utterly wrong. Every single datetime you’re storing should absolutely contain a timezone, preferably UTC.

I‘ve been bitten by dates lacking timezones in various situations during my career and it has always been a pain in the ass to debug and resolve all those random problems they‘re causing.

Do. Save. Dates. Containing. Timezones.
I recently ran into a retail self-checkout stand that had a tip option. It's a low point I didn't think we'd ever reach, but here we are.

What about smoking in restaurants? You're trying to enjoy the taste of delicious food, and suddenly the tobacco smoke from the next table wafts into your nostrils. Bizarre that that was ever considered normal.
In my opinion, fraud prevention is, of all reasons to retain data, the least important. This example of dating app behaviour is easily detected with simple heuristics, and leads to far more important information than fraud could ever be.
True. I didn't consider the scale. I was talking in a totally hypothetical sense.
Heh, I was in Canada recently and asked a waiter "Do you tip here?" Apparently they do.
> A surprising amount of money is directed by some lady in a payroll department making $40k with vlookup and 30 excel files on their desktop.

I wonder if these people understand their value to an organization.
IMO this is because France was reluctant to increase the price of tobacco.
I remember going to NYC in 2010 and a packet of cigarettes was 15$, nearly 3 times what I used to pay in France.
Now they’ve set tobacco prices increase in motion, I expect the number of smokers to drop significantly.
In the UK where tobacco prices have been on par with the US, I notice much fewer smokers than in France, and most of them seem to be foreigners

> I never even mentioned anything that even relates to runtime types, I don't know why you'd bring them up?

You've complained about dynamic overrides. You're talking about dynamic overrides because in the case of "static overrides" (or usually in "normal" OOP languages that are overloads) there can't be any confusion which method gets called. The compiler, and therefore your IDE, knows that. Dynamic overrides are only a thing when dynamic dispatch is involved. Dynamic dispatch is directly related to runtime types.

> And saying that classes, inheritance and overriding are orthogonal is bizarre. They're intricately linked and at the heart of OOP.

That's only the case for languages like C++ / Java and clones.

You can have of course inheritance and overriding without classes. See Self or more prominently JavaScript. (No, JS does not have classes. It has by now some syntax sugar that is called "class", but that's just a simple source translation to JS prototype system under the hood).

> It doesn't even make sense to define overriding without inheritance.

Of course you can have overriding without inheritance.

You can create type-class hierarchies where functions on the leaves override functions above them in the hierarchy.

This is possible without having any inheritance relation between the objects involved. I could show you Scala code that does exactly this.

In a system with prototypes there is also no need for any inheritance relationship to override something. You can just grab the prototype of an object and change ("override") methods on it. You can do that form everywhere in your program in a language like JS…

And in theory you could have inheritance without overriding. Also of course no classes are needed for that. (Even I don't know any language that does something funny like that as it would be quite limiting).

> Coinductive types have destructors so they look a bit OO-ish, but that's it.

No, that's not it.

You can create an algorithm that can translate code form the FP form to the OO form (and back).

I didn't invent this. Someone actually created such an "converter". (I would need to dig a little bit to find the relevant paper and YouTube talks again; maybe you're faster with googling :-D. If not, feel free to ask again, than I would go digging in my PDF chaos).

> The key part of OO isn't having fields, but inheritance.

Well, the inventor of OO himself would strongly disagree… ;-)

OO is about message passing.

The C++ / Java "OOP interpretation" is some quite ill abnormality OTOH.
Protestant here. Church is understood to be the congregation, not a building. Whichever building the congregation chooses to gather in, is what becomes the "church" building. That building doesn't have to face in any particular direction to be a valid site of worship. I don't have to follow Liturgy of the Hours as a devout Christian, even though prayer in general is encouraged. While we fast, abstinence from meat seems to be more of a Catholic practice.
That much is basically true too. It was yet another update to the tried-and-true format to pave over storage needs until btrfs stabilized.
I don't love my job, I love my career.

Why I don't love my job:

- I'm making someone else rich

- I don't believe in 99.99% of the ideas/business out there. But I need to pay the bills

- 99.99% of the time we work on useless stuff just for the sake of "selling more". Usually this stuff is hidden behind a "think customer first" kind of slogans (e.g., the new UI for Tesla cars)

- developers around me (including myself) know little about their profession. Software engineering is all about opinions. "Good practices" are not laws/theorems, so there's always plenty of room for debate and different opinions. It's always a waste of time because at the end of the day we are building crap

- current software engineering practices are crap as well (e.g., agile manifesto, agile implementation, scrum), and the tooling is in baby steps (react, npm, python package managers, golang dependency management, etc.)

That being said, I don't dislike my job. It pays the bills, and since I care deeply enough about my career, I can fulfill my daily work duties in a couple of hours, leaving me the rest of the day to explore more insightful stuff. I love my career. Computer Science is beautiful and makes me learn more about it every day. I think that feeling will never get old, so I'm lucky.
>Even ignoring the many physical dangers of such an act, if the person “arrested” doesn’t get convicted (also pretty sure it has to be a felony conviction, at least here in MA, though IANAL), it opens you up to a false arrest, or possibly a false imprisonment, charge.

In England and Wales you merely need a reasonable belief, the person not being convicted does not automatically open you up to trouble any more than it would open up a police officer to trouble.

I was a psychotherapists for over 25 years working with children and families.

I don't see the the relevence of this question.

Isn't ADHD called attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?
Though Hyperactivity was dropped from the DSM-3 in 1980 and reinstated in 1996.

I do not see any links with saving bookmarks and ADHD.
I too save hundreds of bookmarks and do not have ADHD!
Isn't this just normal human bevaiour?
Saving bookmarks does not seem to interfere with your daily functioning!
Saving bookmarks does not seem to interfere with MY daily functioning!

You say: But the constant reality is that I will never ever be able to do all the things in my brain.
BUT, "I will never ever" comment is unreasonable and unrealistic, the real reality is? that you can do all the things in your brain!

Do you really have ADHD?. Or are the symptoms you exihibit more related to the medication you take?

In the mid 1990's where I lived there were no instances of ADHD. I worked in a local children's psychotherapy service.

As far as I am concerned the prevalence of ADHD has been growing since then, from parents who beleived that all children should; "be seen and not heard", "should not be loud and unruly", "needed a medical reason to claim extra benefits", AND so it grew at the gates of all our local schools. Parents wanted robots and not children.

More and more children were referred to me with so called ADHD but in reality they were all just normal kids who had experienced and were still experiencing "Poor" parenting. How on earth can any reasobale parent allow their children to experience the negative and soul destroying impact of Ritalin and other ADHD drugs. Not to mention big Pharma in the pursuit of profit.

ADHD is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and or hyperactivity/impulsivity. Have difficulty staying on task, sustaining focus, and staying organized. The child may seem to move about constantly, fidget or talks too much. The child may act without thinking or have difficulty with self-control and the inability to delay gratification. Really!

Put a child in a room with an open box of chocolates and tell them they must not eat any chocolates. YEP, evey child will eat a chocolate! Doesn't every child get excited about everything? Doesn't every child experience life at a faster rate because their hearts are beating twice as fast as adults? Children do not have the attention span of an adult, even adults can only concentrate for 45 minutes before needing a rest, yet adults expect children to sit in class for hours at a time studying with 100% concentration.

ISN'T this normal bevaiour of all children? I was like this as a child and did not have ADHD.

I doubt ADHD is a relevent or even a genuine psychiatric condition or diagnosis.

If children were Psychiatrists they would rename ADHD as "Being a natural born child"

Use hotels. Airbnb has been comparable to hotels in the area, without extra services, no loyalty points, no daily cleaning (in many cases) and no added value at all.

At least before you'd pay significantly less than an hotel. Now hotels are more convenient especially if you're member and you get it with a discount
What “interest and fees”?

I have a high credit score and have never paid a fee or any interest.
If you want "hyperscale" in your homelab, the bare metal hypervisor needs to be x86-64 because unless you literally work for Amazon or a few others you are unlikely to be able to purchase other competitively priced and speedy arm based servers.

There is still near zero availability in mass market for CPUs you can stick into motherboards from one of the top ten taiwanese vendors of serious server class motherboards.

And don't even get me started on the lack of ability to actually buy raspberry pi of your desired configuration at a reasonable price and in stock to hit add to cart.
I consistently have a pretty good experience with PayPal if you discount the ads and nags on the Website. The merchant "horror stories" actually give me a lot of confidence that whoever I buy from will be sufficiently motivated to fulfill their side of the contract.
