I have a browser bookmark script that saves it to an Airtable table. Works like a charm, and I've saved almost 10k links in the last four years I've been using it!

I occasionally go back and search for a specific link from months to years ago (since I have a terrible memory), and it works great. I also built a custom Pocket-like interface which works great too!
My personal experience was having written several articles based on my experiences that did get some views and claps or whatever. Hopefully they helped some people out.

Yet, I was below some sort of threshold to be in the club that would get me a few pennies if enough people read them, so I was kicked out of that program.

Not that the program mattered, but getting kicked out for not being popular enough was annoying, so I just stopped using the platform.

I still get a weekly summary that says my articles are being regularly read, which doesn’t seem likely. They appear to be made up numbers.

It feels like the platform quickly became another Quora and is 90% junk.

Not sure how you’ll regain the initial trust and stature Medium seemed to have, but best of luck. FWIW, I do like the site design and reading/writing experience. Keep it simple.
Since auto complete works great in all code editors, each variable and function name should be allowed to be long enough to explain its type and uses.
The wireless chip they used is a cypress chip but the design was by Broadcom, who sold it to Cypress (now owned by Infinion). A lot of the Pi team are ex-Broadcom and probably have a good working relationship with the team that make that chip. That will give them good confidence that any issues can be sorted out because they can get the attention of the right people. It's related to the chips which they use on the original Pi line

RF in general is pretty closed. Last I heard the ESP low level drivers for wifi and BT were closed source (but that was a few years back). There is a lot of resistance to opening RF, partly to please incumbents but partly because of concerns that completely open RF would cause a radio spectrum "tragedy of the commons" - BT and wifi protocols need each tranceiver to behave in order to share the spectrum, if people could easily tweak it, people could easily take the spectrum at the expense of their neighbours. (for example, see https://fsfe.org/activities/radiodirective/radiodirective.en...)

I’ve not had drink in 15 years and I’m 35. I stopped for a number of reasons but the main one was that when I had a drink I became a fairly unpleasant person. Seeing friends around me evolve their relationship with alcohol has been interesting. Many have reduced their intake over years, some have drifted it up and without a doubt those who drink less are healthier and happier.

None have been able to go tea total for more than a few months but are happy I am as always being sober comes in handy sometimes (dealing with emergencies primarily when out/away from home)
There's a video of a journalist asking a Russian official "Why do cigarettes say 'Smoking kills' on the pack, but vodka has no such label on the bottle?" to which the official replies "Why would vodka say 'Smoking kills' on the bottle?!?".
There is a lot of truth to all these observations. Would have just seemed anecdotal points even just 1-2yrs ago, but I feel what GP is listing has become the normalized expectation now.

On founder salaries, the days of ramen garage bootstrapping seem behind us. To be able to even live in these high cost Startup hubs cities/countries, needs higher salaries that is used to in the 90s and early 2000s. I'm not talking about crazy founder salary asks, which I have seen (pre-seed co-founders asking for $130k from their investors!), but even taking a "cut" still puts you in 80-100k range. If folks have families, it's a tough ask to go lower. Founders not cutting their personal finances to the bone, I think is fine, and I think it's a good thing the expectation is mostly gone that you have to somehow prove your commitment to investors or whoever by how broke you can go. It is quite sadistic.

I think the bigger issue is startups being seen as "risk free" and that is totally a problem. Not because we want everyone to fear for their life each day the come to work, or because we want to scare people off from joining. It's because it messes up the incentive structure and misalignes people. Startups need people who have, taken all the info in, are aware of the risks, and dive in head first anyway. Because they are committed to the mission/idea, want to just do something they find cool, or even because they want to roll the dice and strike it rich...whatever the reason. This is not to exclude people with lower risk tolerance, or who _need_ to make higher cash comp to meet their commitments...that's fine, just join later on at a point where the risk meets your tolerance. It just does not work if the latter type of person joins early.

To give a recent example. I was reading through one of those layoff lists that come out of folks who are looking for new roles post a company layoff event. I recognised a name. Turns out it was my former account manager at a very big (and safe) enterprise tech company we buy from. This person had moved to, at the time, a decacorn startup, had been there 7mo and was now out the door. This startup was a rocketship, and no one was really expecting anything to go wrong. But like you said, they are never "risk free", and this macro economic shock hit their trajectory and cuts were made. Unfortunately they hit this person. I don't know if they made the move to a startup with the risks in mind, or if they just saw it as a move to (probably) higher pay and a better "lifestyle".

"Mentor" seems too complicated.

Programming is like learning the piano.

That's it.

Programmers need music teachers, and eventually professional self learning. Eventually you learn how to perform particular practice on your own.
How many of those car accidents are related to alcohol consumption?
There can still be a difference between practise and a(n insufficient) theory without there being a new theory superseding the old one. A lot of historical developments take this shape: we discover something not predicted by the theory we though would explain it, work on it for a while, and only later do we find the new theory that explains also the novel thing.

For practise to be condensed into theory requires predictive power, and not all differences between practise and a theory are predictable -- yet.

That said, I agree with your overall point. If one finds a difference between practise and theory, it's because one tried to use the wrong theory for the situation at hand.

True, that makes running these databases a bit easier since there are multiple nodes that can be restarted in any order. However the main point still stands: You could just as well run Postgres on Nomad/k8s by pinning it to a specific node and excluding that node from the general job scheduling pool. We do that for a single-node Redis instance for example. Still vastly superior to managing unique snowflakes nodes just for the DBs via ansible/systemd.
Is this a re-implementation of an old game? I ask because "whole cloth" games don't usually get posted here.
I guess it's cultural.
Human consumption of alcoholic beverages goes back to thousands of years while tobacco has been used in Europe since the 15th century when it was brought back from America.

Wine is present in the Bible and used in Christian churches during mass.
It is also used in Jewish celebrations and holidays.

Tobacco doesn't have the same history and cultural impact. From what I understand it is/was mainly "spiritually" used by American Natives for shamanic celebrations. (I can clearly be wrong on that)
I would probably avoid fruit juice anyway for sugar reasons
Time to start treating it as any other drug then. Bring back the prohibition, throw the users, producers, sellers and so on to jail. It is least we can do to protect the young from it.
I talk to quite a lot of startups and most follow none of them.

I think that is why PG brings these points up. It is what usually makes things go wrong. It is against human nature to follow these points. People want to impress and fit in. They don't want to sit and build a little thing for just one user.
> When dating from a pool of like that, people tend to act significantly different

Can you expand on this? Because the only thing I have in mind is that it's actually beneficial to meet people from such groups, compared to apps, or clubs/bars/parties. I had way better experiences in those friends groups than in the other places, even when it's just the types of rejections you receive.

I agree with the second statement, that it is more awkward in a friends group when a short relationship is over, compared to not meeting someone any more you only know from an app.
"the story on alcohol is much less clear and if it even true, much lower risk"

What? Afaik alcohol is pretty well known to increase risks of several cancers in population. Individual response to alcohol is of course a much more complex topic with genetics affecting a large palette of physiological and neurological responses to alcohol. For populations - alcohol is a health risk. For individual - the narrative is far more nuanced (more risk for some than others etc).
qwik may be appealing technically, but it's not the best fit for web applications because:

1. You're required to use qwik's API for React, limiting your flexibility and hiring.

2. The lack of compatibility with the vast React components and libraries ecosystem means you'll have to start from scratch on all your components, even essential ones like calendars, MaterialUI, charts, etc...

If your focus is on creating a website and try something else than say Gatsby, then qwik may be a good option. However, for web applications and the ability to fully utilize the React ecosystem, it doesn't seem to be the best choice.
2 bottles of wine per week is already quite a bit. If you are a couple, you pop a bottle more than every second day.
I think it's just a balancing of where work is needed.

C++/Cx (and it's predecessors) was bad in requiring special compiler support whilst WinRT had already seen real adoption and cppwin32 didn't really give any benefits apart from another backend so they seem to have concluded that C++ devs would easier be supported by something more mature (that needed support anyhow) and then just focus the win32metadata project (That's still alive) on "new" languages.

I work on a very large codebase like this and most functions return lists of strings/tuples and most DTOs will be dictionaries with string keys. Instead of classes which have methods to retrieve information in different ways. Therefore parameters have been added to return information in more and more ways.

I mostly don't like how removing a parameter to a function can make it become 1 line, and then in the diff I have no idea of what has happened.

In reviews I always ask that there must be a separate formatting commit, at the end.

Also, because our builds fail if the code is not formatted, that means constant reformatting and moving around of commits.

In the end the time wasted to start the container to run black (if you use the distribution one, every version formats differently), to run black (which is terribly slow), and juggle the commits around is hardly worth it.

However I believe from a management perspective it gets rid of discussions about style in the reviews, so it looks like time is being saved because now the developers waste it each on their own in silence, without communicating.
Reading through the comments here there seems to be much negative sentiment against this study. But what they are right? What if alcohol is actually just bad for you full stop. Would this really be that shocking or controversial that a known poison is poisonous?

All cause mortality is lower among light drinkers than non-drinkers.

> I think the fact that smoking forces others around you to smoke, whereas drinking doesn't is a big part of it.

I'd be curious if cooking with wine falls into this category of affecting others. For example, at a restaurant if a meal has a little bit of wine in its sauce will that be listed on the menu or would it be added behind the scenes sort of like you wouldn't expect to see "garlic powder" or "pepper" listed on the menu for what's on a steak.

Put another way, writing clean code is like writing prose. You need to clearly break down your thoughtt, whether its sections, paragraphs, sentences, and fragments, or files, functions, blocks, groups of lines.

By failing to note that moderate (or lower) consumption is associated with less than 1% of global “alcohol attributed cancer”, while raising the specter of cancer itself as a leading cause of death, they’ve basically just behaved like shrill, manipulative prohibitionists instead of scientists.

“All alcohol consumption appears to be harmful” can be stated without “OMG CANCER UR GONNA DIE” equivalents if you are serious and responsible.
"Let’s hope the same happens with alcohol."

Why? You have all the required information to make an educated decision for yourself. Others do too. Allow them to decide without harassment.

I quit smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol years ago now. As the calculus changed, my habits followed suit. Everyone should be allowed to choose how they live.
Gee, how did two bottles of wine / 7 pints of beer a week get categorised as light? For me light would be one or two beers a week max.
This could just mean that light drinking is correlated with other behaviors that offset the damage from the alcohol.
There are some 'save everything' programs/extensions I seen mentioned in the past (and in this topic) but have wondered how users deal with the signal-to-noise ratio, later filtering for desired content, or whether the users find the storage requirements are worth it.

Often when searching for a specific thing, be it technical queries, useful reviews, troubleshooting, etc, it can take many, many searches and looking through pages before finding something worthwhile, at which point I'll save it (and name it with keywords for future me) since the effort required to even find it is not worth repeating. I'm not sure how such save everything utilities would make that part easier when I wish to return to the relevant page in the future (ie: finding the relevant page, among all the pages that aren't relevant when they share so many similar internal keywords).
cinnamon may be - don't know. i was talking about browned/burnt toast, in which several carcinogens have been identified, as they are in just about everything, if you look hard enough.
Yes, and that's why cancer is unavoidable. It doesn't mean those other things don't also contribute to cancer.
I personally prefer a tool that formats because it avoid me have to go to meetings where I have to discuss coding style (which is even more boring).
The fact that the maintainers made a whitelist for their projects disproves your point.
Python always had a type system. It's not checked ahead of time but it's there.

You can do things like return different types based on values read from a text file at runtime, that is it's a dependent type system. Python is not a total language - no termination proof of given functions to be found. It's also not pure, the calculation that picked a type can pick a different one next time it runs on the same arguments.

A dependent type system in a pure language with no user provided termination proof is in the ballpark of academia hasn't made it work yet.

Python's dynamic type system _cannot_ be checked at compile time, however much care goes into the design. What can be done is cripple python to some subset that can be statically typed, combining the elegance of java with the performance of python, with some end goal that doesn't make any sense to me.

Yeah calling 1.5L/w 'light moderate' it's a stretch

But anyway, I always take such research with a grain of salt (or maybe with a glass of wine) because alcohol consumption has personal relationship benefits

Also not discounting the possibility that it's another "fat is bad" craze
I was surprised to learn that list does not contain nicotine (only tobacco).
3.5liter beer per week is just one beer per day which a lot of people consider completely benign.
> Alcohol consumption is always a net health risk

No.

Or, if you accept that definition, the air you breathe is even more dangerous for your health.

Food is even more dangerous than air. [1]

> The statement "alcohol is not bad for my health" is

somewhat true.

The kind of food popular in USA average diet is killing a lot more people.

The solution is not to stop eating altogether, but to eat less and better.

It's exactly the same for alcohol.

Because I can assure you that working is not good for your health too.

[1] edit: number 1 cause of death in USA is heart diseases, for both men and women.

There are a lot of studies that associated processed food with an increase of heart related disease, it's also not news anymore at this point.

an excerpt from this NYT article, among many of the same kind

More than 100 million adults — almost half the entire adult population — have pre-diabetes or diabetes. Cardiovascular disease afflicts about 122 million people and causes roughly 840,000 deaths each year, or about 2,300 deaths each day. Three in four adults are overweight or obese. More Americans are sick, in other words, than are healthy.

From those lines you quoted I don't see any reason to believe he's referring to dynamically typed languages. He's saying using an IDE on large code bases offers benefits like not having to waste time compiling in order to catch bugs

Also when you do a job it is not always the case that you can pick what language you're using so your solution doesn't make sense even if he was referring to dynamically typed languages.

Alcohol's ill effects have been known for awhile, but alcohol companies continuously undermined studies that would conclusively demonstrate it. Basically, unless you're older and have a certain type of heart disease that alcohol may help, the costs of alcohol are always greater than the benefits. Then again, this is up for the individual to decide, whether they believe their perceived benefits outweigh the potential health costs. At least now, they can make a more informed choice knowing the risks involved.
Financial statements are always up to interpretations. But it's nice to see that they publish theirs very prominently. Not every open source community does.
