I believe working on something you really want to do is even just one variable. There's also stuff like:

1. Do you have enough ownership to at least sit at the table when it's decided what exactly you work on and how you do it? Can you affect strategy, goals, priorities, timelines and design?

2. Do you reap at least part of the reward (financial, appreciation, status)? Does it feel fair compared to what others get out of it based on their contribution?

3. Does the actual day to day work involve sufficient things that energise you, and few enough things that drain you? Do you have the power to delegate the latter to at least some degree?

I've never met an employee who can answer all of these with yes, but they're crucial for getting things done in a truly motivated and successful fashion, at least for me. Employers don't typically give up more power/rewards than they feel they have to, though.

Ever since I went independent, I have a lot of this. That power over my own work and fortune is a phenomenal motivator, and I really enjoy work these days. I know I can work less if I feel like it, it's my decision. I can only imagine how much _more_ of this Carmack has, being rich, successful and highly respected from a young age. I don't know him, but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and say he must honestly have no idea what it's like to not have that.
> Every price includes VAT

As a seller this absolutely sucks. Not saying it's a bad thing. It's not. But imagine you're a small business, and you price the croissants you've just spent hours making at €1 each and you know you'll only get €0.79 of that. It feels unfair. Especially since you'll end up paying even more tax after that too.

So I guess you could say the US method favors the seller, while the (mostly) rest of the world method favors the buyer.

Modern phones are packed to the brim with features. My phone has a goddamn LIDAR scanner! I really don’t think it is feasible anymore, and I think most people would prefer an extra 2-300 mAh over swappable battery. Of course replacing it once by a dedicated shop each 3 years should be possible.
> Saying it's not "the capitalism" is a bit of a true scotsman argument.

The statement I answered was making the worst case the norm. That's why I said that it is not representative for capitalism ("not the capitalism"). Short-term-profiteering is just a part of it - that is usually eliminated, if that's all that is to it.

> I wish I shared your hopeful vision because looking at history and current affairs, there's no indication that short term gains are ever going to be replaced by long term ones. The climate change issue is the prime example for that. Everyone knows long term it's bad, but who cares? We need those stocks to go up!

Now you're shifting the goal post. I specifically speak about profit not about some other arbitrary goal. Capitalism (like any economical system) isn't going to magically fix everything (i.e. climate).

My apologies. Though it was in jest, you’re right and doesn’t add to the discussion.

The makers of panda css are also creators of chakra-ui.
Chakra-UI is like tailwind + ui components for react. They currently transfer their knowledge into separate packages to allow adoption by other frameworks like vue etc.

Panda seems to work a bit like chakra. I really love the convenience components/functions like Stack. But it will be combined with component ark and zag. Zag is state management for components, while ark creates headless components for vue react etc. And combined with panda we come back full circle for v3 of chakra. I am really looking forward to this. But also hope that chakra stays true to its use of basic html elements and accessibility.

This article reveals how Scientific American has declined over time.

It has become a mere shadow of its former self, resorting to sensationalism for online engagement.

I understand the need for the magazine to cater to an audience, but how was this article even approved? It lacks specifics, relies on common knowledge, lacks relevant studies or investigations. It's nothing but clickbait.
> I saw on more than one occasion grown men brought to tears because they dropped a box of cards scattering them across the floor and they would have to spend many hours sorting them.

I realize I may be a bit late with this suggestion, but why not number the cards, like the pages of a book?
All problems they're facing are due to the decision to make tests a "special case" rather than just normal Rust code that happens to test things.

While I like Rust's `[#test]` can be placed anywhere and will be found/run by cargo test, I think there should also be something like `[#test_context]` where you receive a handle to the test framework's entry point (a little like Go) and from there you just write code to create tests... this is a stupid simple way to solve every problem mentioned in this post. Dart has something like this, and it's amazing for me to realize that its totally simplistic solution makes everything those complex Java testing frameworks do (test by example cases, skip depending on a function's return value, group tests into sub-tests etc.) not just possible, but easier and more fun to use as it's just "normal" code (your IDE can autocomplete your stuff so you don't need to google every tinme for the magic combination of annotations/parameters/types to use).

This is what it may look like in Rust:

#[test_context]
fn make_tests(t: &mut TestHarness) {
t.newGroup("group 1", |t| {
t.newTest("test something", |t| {
assert_eq(...);
});
for (input, expected) in &[("a", "a1"), ("b", "b1")] {
t.newTest(format!("my_fun({}) == {}", input, expected), || {
assert_eq(my_fun(input), expected);
}),
}
});
}

Please stop using Java annotation-like stuff for this kind of thing, it just limits what you can do in exchange for looking a little prettier (but being vastly more complex when the whole implementation is taken into consideration).
While I believe this to be technically correct, this approach to diet and weight is like saying “poor people just need to make more money, or spend less”. It misses a lot of important nuance.

I would recommend you check out a book called” The Hungry Brain“ by Stephan Guyenet. It changed my perspective on this topic and made me much more empathetic to people who struggle with weight issues.
Fun fact: the platform is built using zig, which means poop in Arabic.
This is normal. The positive things don't need to be talked about.

It is extremely unlikely that bcachefs will be merged as-is. This is true for anything of it's size. (These days... There have been large subsystems in the past that were merged in unacceptable state with the promise that eventually they will be fixed. They usually weren't. Which is why the bar is so high now.) But this just means that there will need to be debate and work to hammer it into a shape that is acceptable for the kernel. This can be a long process, but I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong in bcachefs that would exclude it.
It does seem complicated. User sowbug has commented above that in California the trust can actually get you out of significant taxation. I would even call it unreasonable taxation (why would you tax the assets, instead of assets - liabilities, that doesn't make any sense).

People are very different. My gf cannot sit down and work for more than an hour before she needs to go for a walk and take breaks. In general, she doesn’t find office/computer work fulfilling and is looking for a more dynamic career.

I on the other hand can go 12 hours getting up once or twice to go to WC and will skip lunch. Taking a break most of the time sounds like a punishment. When I’m working on a problem and hold a lot of information in my working memory taking a break would only set me way back. Meetings are avoided unless absolutely necessary. Emails and messages are answered before I shut down as they don’t require much focus. That’s how I love working. But I’m also very introverted and robotic. I need to find a more balanced approach and appreciate my gf’s influence on me but it doesn’t come naturally to me.
I found that after doing one of my bi-weekly cycle runs I simply sleep better and therefore feel less hungry during the next the day.

Lots of jobs require mandatory overtime, whether salaried office jobs which expect folks to finish unreasonable workloads or hourly physical jobs which have artificially limited the number of workers (by regulations or union contracts) but have minimum staffing levels, e.g. police, prisons, assembly line workers, etc.

There isn't one single culture here. Plenty of cultures not just permit it, they expect it.

Tipping is a communication of exceptional value to the provider of a service. Doctors provide expected service, as dictated by the rules and regulations they, themselves are subject to. Plumbers are in a similar, though less rigid, situation, ie, most services have a very clear expectation of service to be provided that is not normally exceeded if at all.

Food service workers are in a situation where, the expectation is self-service, and as such all of the service they provide, ie, the things you wouldn't do yourself, is exceptional and therefore it is necessary to communicate that additional value provided in the form of a tip.

The reason the mass deployment of unnecessary tipping prompts seems so consumer adverse to most people is that they do not have a well thought out idea of what is actually happening when they tip, and instead have to wrestle with guilt or tradition to make their decisions.
When you understand the situation at hand, there is no such guilt and that allows you to see the mass deployment of tipping prompts for what they really are: a ploy to manipulate customers into subsidizing employee wages.

The FBI repeatedly denied that the Mob existed for over a decade, until a patrol cop stumbled accidentally on a meeting of Mob bosses from across America.

J Edger Hoover's Wikipedia:

> From the mid-1940s through the mid-50s, he paid little attention to criminal vice rackets such as illegal drugs, prostitution, extortion, and flatly denied the existence of the Mafia in the United States. In the 1950s, evidence of the FBI's unwillingness to investigate the Mafia became a topic of public criticism.

>> companies can raise more capital.
> This only true of companies that were underpriced.

You mean over-priced?

because if a company is underpriced, they cannot raise capital as easily, since each share they raise would be underpriced, and thus the existing shareholders actually _lose_ value.

An overpriced company is one where raising capital (via equity offering) is worth doing. If a company was under-priced, it would actually make more sense to do buybacks instead.

I test software using pytest.

I mean I write system tests of whole applications using pytest where the embedded software is built using emulated HW.

This allows me to test changes locally before I test on embedded hardware. This is a lot quicker than flashing firmware and testing on real HW.

Of course this is not usable for everything. Having a HAL layer helps.

I can also make a tiny little thingy waterproof, but it’s much harder to do with a mini-computer that is insanely powerful, has a whole camera department, can be used as a semi-professional video recorder, can withstand drops, and has a 1+ days battery life at least.

Also, it is just ingenious to attribute everything to malice — is a modern combustion engine also irreparable because of some conteo, or is it irreparable simply because for efficiency reasons they had to use more precise technology with smaller error margins, where one’s fatty human hand just doesn’t cut anymore?

Is there anything like Python's unittest.mock for Rust? All of my Rust projects are woefully lacking in unit tests because I just find it hard to write tests for stuff that interacts with other stuff. Like in Python, if I want to test that an API integration works, I can just mock out requests, urllib, whatever, and test it that way. But as far as I can tell, I don't really have the tools for that in Rust.
My standard formula (tempted to call it a standard joke) is to build an aggregator that lists the competitors offers, in your case as many properties from as many agencies as possible.

Some you have to pay for their data, some you can do for free, some want to pay for better listings.

On a different note, without an agency one can leverage the lack of artificial urgency. ATM, with few listings, the longer listings last the better it is for you.
That's just a rhetorical slight of hand though:

"We don't understand how the body metabolizes what it ingests, and what is healthy and what isn't! Every theory is wrong and has been overthrown! Therefore it's impossible to say whether eating this arsenic pill will be bad for you!"

My impression is that there is pretty solid evidence that eating highly processed foods correlates with worse health outcomes.
> family doctors

they can only scale at most linearly, with the number of hours they work.

A financier can scale multiplicatively, because the amount of the monies they deal with can increase without "extra work". The multiplicative nature means the more capital you have access to, the more money you get to make, which approaches exponential at some point.

And in the end, the financier speculating on the markets can affect many more people than the doctor ever can in their life.
This is common knowledge. Both retired pro soccer and handball players in my scandinavian countries almost all have a myriad of issues, most commonly and serious knee issues that require many operations.

I know several pro swimmers though and haven't heard of any serious issues there, so i guess it's from the impacts and constant running.

Obesity, longevity, and hormonal research are actually aligned on many points. Nutritional science, which is primarily built upon epidemiology, has caused a lot of confusion as seen in the article, and this is the reason that the quote exists. However, other sciences do use mechanisms of action.

So, it's not hopeless; any emergent system that is as flexible as the human body will be really complex, with balances, counterbalances, and even counter-counterbalances. It's built to survive almost any climate and adapt to changes in climate within a short time span.

Be aware that bodybuilders have been using different metabolic states since the time of Vince Gironda, around the 1960s.

I see it the other way around, if I am not tipping my doctor or my plumber then why should I have to tip my server or barista. The answer of course is that people who rely on tips don’t earn a living wage. That’s before accounting for white servers earning more than their black peers. The US regulates other areas that perpetuate racism like borrowing and employment.

Tipping should be illegal.

I know less about FRB's failure. It was likely due to a domino effect from SVB's - specifically, FRB has a high uninsured ratio of deposits (they service rich people).

The FDIC has announced that they will not do a repeat of what they did for SVB - insure the full deposit amount rather than just the $250k. Therefore, anyone with a large deposit in a small bank is going to want to move their money out into a "too big to fail" bank.

Unfortunately for FRB, this is what happened to them. No bank can survive a real run, no matter how carefully balanced they are with risk (after all, they _do_ take on some risks in order to make a profit).

In my opinion, the FDIC's announcement of what they will not do (insure the full deposit, even if above the $250k limit) after doing it for SVB, while have good intentions, is what backfired.

They should've just lied, and said that they'd do it for another bank, if there's a need to; this would've stopped any fear of a run, and thus stop the run before any more dominos collapse.

(I think this is why the medical devices had almost all errors show up at shallow interaction levels: they were probably designed with ruthless simplicity in mind)

> While searching I came across "combinatorial testing", seems relevant but still fail to see how it all ties together?

the tl;dr for the combinatorial testing deck is that many bugs will surface with interactions between small numbers of factors: so covering all-pairs, all-triples, all-quads, etc. goes a long way towards surfacing almost all bugs at a fraction of the cost of covering all-interactions.
