Well... C# .Net developers, as Microsoft found, correctly, that you can't build complex products easily with a lack of types.

I also don't think many program in vanilla Javascript; it seems everyone is using JSX.

At-will employment isn't a valid reason to not care about what you do. The armchair theory is the emotional investment would still lead to promotions, higher raises, etc than someone who otherwise wouldn't be. The macroeconomic climate is orthogonal. For example, suppose that by caring, they got promoted to a new job that will make them a more competitive candidate in the job market. Now that person can more easily leave Microsoft for a non-pay freeze company, so the advantage remains.
> What might be some ways to put governers on that?

Probably some sort of cooperative ownership. If you could perfectly calculate the weighted contribution of every person, you would just divide ownership up by that number. A contributor who has done 1% of the total work within an organization has 1% ownership and has 1% of the profits. If that employee retires then their contribution diminishes, but this is (theoretically) countered by the growth in profitability of the company. As long as profit growth outpaces the increase in labor (this ratio is productivity) then people should be able to retire and have a growing pension, without also unfairly capitalizing on the labor of new employees.

So let's say they work 20 years and do 1% of the work. In the next 20 years, the number of employees stays the same, but productivity doubles. The original worker has now done 0.5% of all the work done by the company, but if the company has doubled in profitability, they are still making the same amount of profit they were before.

This also assumes no outside investment from people who aren't workers, which makes it really hard to start a business. Maybe there could be some sort of bootstrapping period where investors can make their returns, which are capped at a certain amount. Or have unlimited returns but the company must switch to a cooperative structure past a certain headcount/size. Dealing with investment is certainly tricky in this thought experiment.

That is a totally theoretical solution but it's fun to explore different ways of organizing systems.
I normally still keep it at 2560x1440. Actually, looking at it, it doesn't go higher (not a 4k, missed that when purchasing it). My other one (well, it's not 32" - 27") I toggle between 1680 and 2160.

Even when I have 'more' real estate on the 27", I sometimes end up zooming the screen sometimes anyway to get closer.

Determined by your goals:

I am casually interested in indoor rowing as a fitness goal: get a cheap (<$500) water rower.

I have decided that I like indoor rowing as a fitness activity and have a history of sticking to exercise goals: an expensive water rower ($1500)

I have decided that I like indoor rowing and would even engage in indoor competition: Concept2 ($1000) because that is what the competitions use.

I want to learn to row, and do it for real on the water: do not buy a rowing machine and start pulling. You will learn terrible form and the first time you lift your oar over your knees you'll end up in the water. Learn to row first, then get a rowing machine. Join a club. They'll start you on a concept2 but someone will be teaching your good form.

I prefer water rowers to Concept2s, but opinions differ. I've owned two concept2s and one cheap water rower, and I prefer the water rower now.

That seems a little disingenuous. Of course they know you’re there primarily for money, so that’s not really the question they’re asking. They’re really asking “why are you looking for money from us and not someone else?” You can be cynical and call that “performance” or be realistic and recognize it as communication shorthand.
Retrospective taxation implies that a change was made to the tax code that went back in time. The reality is the tax code didn't change at all, but the fact that FTX was cheating on their taxes was discovered and adjusted for.

Now I'm sure it'll get litigated, but there's a big difference between "I cheated my taxes and got caught" versus "I paid all my taxes, but then the rules changed and now I owe more".

Contrary to popular belief vitamin D is a hormone. Hormones are your body's chemical messengers. Having a deficiency in a hormone can have a lot of negative effects.

There are two sources of vitamin D: food & supplements and synthesis by the body in the skin on exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Since a lot of us spend a lot of time indoor or behind glass (which blocks the necessary wavelengths) it's important to monitor it.

People with darker skin also need more sun exposure to get the required healthy levels. People living in areas where winters are very dark and very long are also at risk of deficiency.

Though those cloud platforms all have their own proprietary components most users are savvy enough to constrain and compartmentalize their use of them lest they find themselves having all their profits taken by a platform that knows it can set its prices arbitrarily. The cloud vs in-house adoption is what it is in large part because the cloud offerings are a commodity and a big part of them being a commodity is that much of the underlying software is free software.

This is a very comprehensive list (and the organisation is pretty inspiring) but missing a few things I have personally found very valuable in what I do (which involves a mixture of smallish new projects and retrocomputing repairs/upgrades/etc) - main one I'd mention is low melting point solder to use for desoldering larger components (both plated through hole and SMD) - it took me ages before I tried it and it's made a huge difference at least for me. Chip Quick is the well known brand but you can get cheap unbranded "bars" of it as well. I've also found desolder stations much easier to get on with than solder suckers - Hakko 808 is what I see recommended a lot though it's not what I have. Ultimately if it's temperature controlled I think there's not much to choose between them.

Finally there are some great very cheap logic analyzers out there - modern oscilloscopes will do this too but you have to get pretty high up the price list before you can make do with just one device for both uses.

There are a couple other similar popular screen time apps, such as Opal [1] and one sec [2]. They both also operate on a similar freemium / IAP model. For comparison, ClearSpace falls in the middle price-wise:

- Opal: $20/mo, $100/yr, $300–400/lifetime (4.7/5 stars with 6.1k ratings)

- one sec: $4/mo, $15/yr, $40/lifetime (4.9/5 stars with 6.2k ratings)

- ClearSpace: $7/mo, $45/yr, (n/a?)/lifetime (4.7/5 stars with 404 ratings)

In the thread you've addressed some current features differences already (progress / streaks tracking, and pulling one out of an app after a set time limit).

Yeah, I much prefer Bing's sourcing, though I'm less than pleased with it's sources. Bing likes to find a bunch of "Top 10" posts from content farms that answer whatever question I was asking.

I think LLMs still make up most of their answers, but use whatever links they find to generate context for the answers, so there is a lower possibility it'll generate confabulations. Of course, if the source is low-quality, it's just going to use that to justify a sloppy answer.

Still think it's better than me sorting through content farm posts. I look forward to next year's models that are trained on curated data sifting through well-sourced web sites.

*I like to add, "Only use educational or science journalism sources," to get higher quality links.
On the whole, I'm not sure that a FS can work around such a byzantine drive, at least not if its the only such drive in the system. I'd rather FSes not try to pave over these: these disks are faulty, and we need to demand, with our wallets, better quality hardware.

> 1% chance of disconnecting and reconnecting a few seconds later

I actually have such an SSD. It's unusable, when it is in that state. The FS doesn't corrupt the data, but it's hard for the OS to make forward progress, and obviously a lot of writes fail at the application level. (It's a shitty USB implementation on the disk: it disconnects if it's on a USB-3 capable port, and too much transfer occurs. It's USB-2, though; connecting it to a USB-2-only port makes it work just fine.)
>Gig workers, especially food delivery, do a very low productivity job that consumers don't want to pay a lot for

If you compare the prices on doordash or similar apps to the prices inside the restaurant, you'll find that what you said just isn't true. It seems some people are comfortable paying more for the delivery than the food itself.
And besides that, there will be AI systems drastically superior to a good human software developer today, that can trivially review code. These are not challenging things to solve, these are trivial things to solve (which we'll solve in the very early days of AI, ie now), AI systems will march right through it, and soon.

The notion that only a human can effectively check code, will be viewed as a joke before this decade is out. Humans will be very inferior. Emphasis on very. Anybody that doesn't realize that yet, is still thinking in the terms of today, right now - and not understanding how fast this is all about to change, much less how much it'll change in a decade of time.

There will be button pushing monkeys, that are called ... code confirmation engineers, that sit at a computer and sign off on the AI systems doing code checks. They'll go to school for it, they'll almost never directly review code, most of them won't be able to even if they cared to (which they won't).

Speed limits on roads exist; if someone's speeding, it's a question of enforcement.

Similarly, we're born with human rights as ratified in the UN Declaration of Human Rights. To your point, they're moot if not enforced -- I get that. But it's easier to enforce what exists than to fight for the original law.
> it will be litigated and should be

They’re almost certainly inflating the claim in preparation of litigation, e.g. by reclassifying “all of FTX’s contractors to full-time employees.” (There is pressure, in such bankruptcies, to file claims fast.) But the current claim is 4x FTX’s cash. It’s unlikely the IRS is off by 4x. Unsecured creditors’ recovery is likely going to be zero.

> Sure, some of these might be really nice. But I think one of the biggest changes we’d see, if gig workers organized well enough, is some system to block new entrants in order to artificially restrict the supply of gig workers. We already have an example of such a system that predates the internet-driven gig economy: taxi medallions. But of course, we all know how that turned out!

Lets apply the same system to your job then?

Anyone can decide that they're now working your job. You can compete with them for tasks and whoever completes them will be the one to get paid.

Artificially restricting the supply of your job is obviously limiting the economic capabilities of the business. Just think how many more hours could be worked!

Rarely anything about human condition is binary. Narcissism, like all other mental illnesses, is a spectrum, indeed.

> At what point do you think people "cross over" to meet a threshold of being a "narcissist"?

I am not a psychiatrist so this is just my opinion, but as a rough approximation, a person is a "narcissist" if their insistence on having superior status to others starts impacting both them and people around them - a person who constantly has to state how superior they are to others, as if they're trying to remind others of how good they are and not letting them keep it out of their mind, is who I would suspect to be a narcissist. Also a person who can't handle any criticism without immediately pointing out how good they are despite the criticism, or getting angry and putting down the person who gave them that criticism. I could come up with more examples, but I hope you see the pattern.

The main marker of narcissism is the inability to not be praised. It actually stems from deep insecurity - deep down, narcissists actually believe that they're inferior in some fundamental way, so the narcissism is actually a self-defense mechanism that helps them not be miserable. It's basically a compulsion, and compulsion cause irrational behavior. That's why the small hands incident made me think of that.

There isn't a threshold, because as you said, it's a spectrum, and defining a threshold would make it binary. But Trump, from my perspective, is deep in the narcissistic territory, far above any regular people I know in my life. As a performer, it helps him a lot - narcissists are usually very charismatic and sure of themselves, making them excellent performers. But that doesn't make him less of a narcissist.

I'm also not entirely convinced by "huge" context models just yet, especially as it relates to fuzzy knowledge such as overarching themes or writing style.
