I've been doing calisthenics 3 times a week since 2019. When I skip a day I feel enormous amount of guilt and I can't sleep when the night comes. Still, I don't like every moment of doing the exercises and I have a feeling of time being wasted by tending to my body instead of doing something with my family, cooking for them or being creative. What's more doing the workout eats a huge amount of my will power and leaves me unwilling to do any other chore for that day.
There are already laws on the books in many jurisdictions, but they're not in effect at the moment because of this case law. The moment a case overturning Lawrence happens, the laws instantly go back into effect.

Also, if a state feels it's time to try it again, they might just go ahead and enforce this law to make this kind of a case happen again, hoping the SC comes to a different decision.

These are strange statements. People having any familiarity with newer programming languages are likely to not know or be confused by where this is coming from.

V is a relatively new language that came out in 2019 and is in beta. So comparatively speaking, V has progressed well at the least, debatably quite fast. V also has more GitHub stars than all the listed below languages (in beta) combined (per OSS Github language rankings). Let's look at the starting dates for these popular and newer languages:

1) Zig came out in 2016 and is still in beta.

2) Odin came out in 2016 and is still in beta.

3) Jai started in 2014 (full time around 2017) and is still in beta.

4) Red came out in 2011 and is still in beta.

The languages that we see today, which are popular and at the top of the rankings (like TIOBE) are significantly to quite old. Among the youngest languages in the top 20 (your post mentions Rust and Go), they came out in 2015 (Rust), 2014 (Swift), and 2009 (Go). All of these have huge corporate support.

I think they still introduce small problems for people who run software they don't like. For example, if you run Linux on your desktop, and want to use a Windows VM for work, you can't run WSL2 or Hyper-V in the KVM/Qemu guest, even if nested virtualization is enabled and working with other operating systems. It used to work, but now it doesn't, and no know knows exactly why.

These situations are murky. I don't know that they broke it deliberately. Maybe it broke on its own and the problem affects so few people that they just don't care about it.

And you can't really demand that they spend their developer resources on things that they think won't help them. But on one hand, they wrote their own Wayland server for Windows 11, but on the other hand, they say, we can't make Teams work on Wayland.

They do lots of odd stuff. It's pretty easy, and pleasant, to run a headless linux server on Hyper-V, but setting up a proper desktop system on your own is hard. They don't actually create a wall you can't get around, but they create obstacles that make it easier to do the things they want you to do.

It's not fair or reasonable to get mad at them about this stuff. It's more that we should be clear about where they're coming from.
I quite like that I can have non-localized search by default, and specify a location easily with a bang (like !fr) when needed.

Nothing wrong with that, it integrates well with the phone's UI (which isn't setup well for the whole "remote access from somewhere else" situation) and is often the easiest for sending a small number of photos right now.

Others are hinting at the same thing, but toxic culture (by itself) is probably only part of the problem.

If a single research job is toxic, that's stressful in the short term, but will just motivate someone to leave eventually; stress relieved.

If the entire 'industry' is toxic, there's no job change that can relieve the stress. Also, research jobs are attained after people make some hard-to-reverse decisions about money, time investment, and lifestyle. If someone is in loads of student debt, has spent a decade learning a very niche topic that can't be easily leveraged elsewhere and doesn't have enough money to just quit and be okay, it's easy to see where the stress comes from, and it doesn't seem easily resolved.
Biggest thing for me is your #5. When I watch others cook I see a lot of downtime. 30 seconds here waiting for oil in pan to get hot, 30 seconds there chatting with me while their water boils, it adds up to minutes and minutes that could have been spent washing dishes and cleaning surfaces. For me the perfect cook is when the last thing comes off the heat it's the only dirty dish, I can plate it, wash the dish in the sink, then leave the kitchen with the food and the kitchen cleaner than when I went in.
Joseph Stiglitz says that policymakers are just helpless people adrift on the oceans of chaos, and that we should be OK when they point at everything else because it's completely true they're never responsible for anything?

If so, he's an idiot no matter how many Nobel Prizes he has. If, as is far more likely, that's not at all what he says in those 58 minutes, you've been conveniently distracted by what is cognitively available to you from my main point, which is, if policymakers are effective, then they are responsible to a large degree. Corporate greed is a ludicrous blame shifting operation and honestly a measure of just how much responsibility they hold for what is going on in the economy right now if they're stretching for such a self-evidently stupid defense. As others have pointed out, it isn't that companies aren't greedy, it's that they have never ever ever been not greedy.

> This is killing me.

You should absolutely not continue doing something that is literally or figuratively killing you.

> If so, how do you deal with it? Psychologically and physically.

Handling shitty code doesn't affect me mentally and honestly I don't see how it could affect anyone physically. It's not like it causes you nausea or stomach pains, is it? However, feeling that my talents are wasted negatively affects my mood. I would not stand "duct taping" someone's trash unless I were given the authority to refactor and fix the underlying problems with it.

Bottom line is that you should leave jobs that make you feel bad.

I will share a contrarian experience I had. I once had to maintain the tcp/ip stack for an esoteric device running Linux. The stack was insanely complicated, with C code calling ksh scripts, etc. I was able the code's authors why it was designed this way: Because Linux doesn't let you assign more than one ip address to an interface. Except it does... The architect didn't want to believe me when I told him that Linux has had this feature for over two decades. Eventually he realized I was right and apologized. So, all code is written the way it is for a reason, but that reason may not be a good reason.
I almost never look at recipe timing, but anecdotally, I know I'm slower.

That said, I spent time as a line chef in a kitchen, and it gave me some useful skills in kitchen: cooking lots of things at the same time. These days, I'll fire up my grill, have something on the, and maybe something in the oven, and have done it enough times to know when to start/stir/turn-off to make sure everything is done right around the same time. Very much like a restaurant.

Also, some things are just easier when you let the tool do the job for you. I never cook rice any other way than in an Instant Pot, for example.
You can't drive the cars remotely.

Waymo sends physical human drivers to a car if the Waymo driver (software) is stuck. Remote humans can reach into the model to fix e.g. label problems (e.g the driver thinks this is a pedestrian but it's actually a life size cardboard Captain Picard, thus it's not a problem to drive very close to it) but they cannot drive the car.
The Joy of Cooking and the Betty Crocker cookbook were the cookbooks my parents taught me to cook from.

I've since added the America's Test Kitchen cookbook to my collection. (Others, too, of course.) It's very explicitly a cookbook developed by chefs testing out recipes and fine-tuning them to get them just right.

Unfortunately, I rarely have the time & energy to cook from scratch these days, and the majority of the recipes I actually make come from Blue Apron—but they're also a pretty good source, and make some damn good dinners in a very practical amount of time.
Source? I own 3 and I would take a single 3090 any day. M40s are simply too old.

SPAs get flak because they’re being used incorrectly.

If they truly were only used as desktop-based apps, there would be less to complain about. As it stands, they’re packaged incorrectly for the mobile devices people use, caching is an afterthought so we’re loading the same giant bundles across mobile networks on each load, and this affects apparent performance. Then we have too much animation or inefficient component refreshing that reduces responsiveness…

They owned 5% from 2013 to at least 2019: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/11/alphabet-uber-investment-sta...

I think they sold it in 2019 when their lockup expired, but I can only find "they're thinking of doing it" news (https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/03/ceo-david-krane-suggests-g...) and not an announcement.
I still don’t understand the strategy for Waymo. After running that taxi service in phoenix for this long they resorted to partnering with Uber, it’s a huge failure. What does Uber bring to the table at all? An app that is easily replicable and with google’s reputation they can easily get customers off of Uber to their own platform. It’s a colossal failure. I was really hoping they would use Waze for this purpose. In fact it already has ride sharing and so thought that is the next natural direction. The ceo needs to go at this point. He is really taking the ship down.

I think they're well positioned. The winners of the generative AI space will be players with lots of copyrighted content. Shutterstock was already top of mind, and purchasing rights to all the images in Giphy strengthens their claim.

There's two paths. Either copyright claims lock down training, and Shutterstock now licenses their training dataset to companies; or generative art trained on open images lose their novelty (think Comic Sans but for photos) and Shutterstock gains an upper hand by having an existing pipeline of novel images to train with.

Metallica like a lot of bands was just self taught and figured out a lot of things intuitively. In the end music theory takes a back seat to "it sounds cool" when you're talking rock & metal.

Metallica does a bunch of stuff like stick a big portion of a song on one chord and not even bother changing then play some notes that don't make sense with that chord/scale and it's all "whatever" cause it sounds cool. Or typical stuff like go to a chord that doesn't necessarily make sense but it doesn't really matter since they're just playing root-5th chords and it doesn't sound off the way it would with more fully voiced chords.

Strong disagree. Modern systems are vast and complex, if you aren’t leveraging the nearest expert, you’re doing it wrong – that’s what they’re for! Knowing things you don’t know and shouting warnings of gotchas and long-term visions.

But if you keep asking the same question, then you should be kicked in the shins. And the expert should be kicked for not writing it down or fixing the system after the same questions comes up for the 3rd time.
> Sad that I had hoped some exec at Nintendo would veto this approach as "Not Nintendo" rather than choosing to tarnish the brand and take the money, like Apple did.

They did, originally. They released a $10, no microtransactions Mario game (Super Mario Run) in 2016. The general consensus is that the game did not live up to Nintendo's commercial expectations[1], and I think that's true. Nintendo entirely switched to the more standard App Store game model for its later mobile titles, and they print money.

As for "tarnishing the brand," Nintendo still hasn't really put a "full title" on mobile, with the maybe possible exception of Mario Kart. It feels like they are still keeping their distance, but who knows what would have happened if the Switch sales were more like the Wii U than the Wii.
