I'm pretty sure my respect for people who sit down at a blank page, or pick up the phone and make a difficult call (or even a call to the guy who was supposed to trim the trees last week) stems from my deep reluctance to do the same. Whether you could blame my reluctance on anxiety, apathy, superiority or sheer laziness really depends on the day... but I really do respect those people who slog through their list of to-do items as if it were a job. And they are better at life than I am.

Put me in front or a concrete problem, and I'm a fucking monster at solving it. Give me someone's phone number to call and I'd rather spend the rest of the week in a bathtub.
Had a go at writing a game a while back, purely for fun, reinventing the wheel to learn about what makes writing games hard. The command pattern here is a really great way to solve a persistent difficulty I had (largely the same one discussed in the article). I have certainly missed the point of the article but that is a great takeaway for me personally.

Funnily enough I have used the command pattern before to automate sequences of steps in a workflow. Back then I kind of stumbled on it - it is super effective for certain kinds of things.
Considering how widespread Uber is, it's probably got a formula for opening up new offices in new locations. I know other companies I worked for had one so I can only assume Uber is the same. This is they know they need 2 x, 3 y, 1 z. Managing a series of contractors at that scale for each location would probably be a job by itself and kind of remove the benefits of outsourcing. Considering Uber literally deals with high turnover of personal by the nature of what they do, they don't seem like they would be likely to be that risk adverse to the paperwork challenges that potentially could come from low level staff like cleaners which is normally why companies prefer to outsource it. Like if your used to hiring office staff where high turnover would be employees leaving after a year vs cleaning staff where staff could change on a monthly basis, the hassle of dealing with paperwork isn't worth it. But if you've already got the person who deals with the paperwork, etc because that's your business it's less of an issue.

I think it's very likely Uber employs cleaners themselves due to costs attached to outsourcing and that they already have the staff to manage that sort of worker.
It had a profound influence on me as well, I read it as a celebration of creativity and the human spirit. I never got the weird cult stuff that has emerged from it.

>In my understanding, "lazy" literally means "one who does not do what he ought to".

Not exactly, it means "one habitually does not do what they ought to, because they'd rather relax, avoid hard work, have fun, and so on, and they're not hard-working or even just-enough working to not fall behind".
Unfortunately I have not seen any study that has been conceived in such a way that could allow to determine whether supplements with vitamin K2 are useful or not.

It is known with certainty that humans convert a part of the ingested vitamin K1 into vitamin K2.

While there have been many studies that have shown beneficial effects of supplements with vitamin K2, none of them have used a correct control group.

A deficiency in vitamin K2 can have two causes, either the capacity of a human body to produce vitamin K2 is not enough to cover the necessary amount of it, or the daily intake of vitamin K1 has been too low.

In order to distinguish the two causes, the control group, which does not take vitamin K2 supplements, must have a much greater daily intake of vitamin K1, perhaps 10 times or 20 times greater.

It is possible that the relationship between vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 is like between beta carotene and vitamin A, where, with a high enough daily intake of beta carotene, vitamin A is no longer needed, because the body can produce enough of it.

Unlike for beta carotene, we do not know yet whether there is a threshold of daily intake of vitamin K1 above which there is no need of vitamin K2 supplements.

It would be important to know this for sure, because vitamin K1 is extremely abundant in many green vegetables and it would be simple to reach very high daily intakes without any nutritional supplements.

Nah. I don't think so.

When it comes to modal workflows, there's a tradeoff to be made between intuitiveness and efficiency that comes with lots of practice.

I don't use modal text editors anymore. But I get how modes can be useful and pleasant to have.
This is true for me, as well. Whenever I start a 50 MHz computer and something is instantaneous instead of displaying a "Please wait…", or I start a modern computer with the Haiku operating system instead of Windows or Linux, I'm reminded just how responsive things can be.

On Android, I stumbled upon a file explorer, called Little File Explorer, that feels like this. It's 170 KiB, and generally opens directories without a feeling of transition. Instead of feeling like it's laboriously building a view, it feels almost like the view's already built. Alas, it doesn't yet remember scroll position when paging back.

Modern things can make stuff that would be slow, fast; but they also usually make stuff that can be fast, slow. I believe this normalisation of slowness is a "Normalisation of Deviance".

Late last year, I acquired a Kawai DX1900, which had been bought new for $6,000 (I think they made it in the 1970s and maybe the earlier 1980s), for $100. (This is AUD; in today’s money, that was probably an initial purchase price of around $20,000–50,000.) My acoustic piano has been feeling rather neglected since: I’ve been playing the organ much more. It’s interesting to experiment with just how different organs and pianos are as instruments. It’s also fun seeing the quirks and failure modes of analogue electronics—things are much more likely to keep working, just a little less well, whereas in digital electronics things largely work perfectly or not at all. The top manual is supposed to be mildly pressure-sensitive in ways that tweak the synthesiser mode (e.g. press hard for vibrato), but this doesn’t appear to work any more, and the lowest note goes haywire with the frequency it emits (but only in synthesiser mode, not in percussion mode which doesn’t use the pressure-sensitivity). Also switches that you’d expect to have two positions actually turn out to have a third unintended one when they’re between the two positions, when it’s turned off one behaviour but not turned on the other, or has turned on both. All up the organ is 144kg (plus another 16kg for the stool and 26kg for the pedal board). Analogue electronics and solid construction and very powerful speakers (in the room I use it, I keep the master volume around 30%, and even at that point it’s capable of being oppressively loud) and a Leslie speaker and such ain’t light.

Pity pipe organs take so much space. I’d like one or two.
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. Previously I was very pro government intervention, but this book is great at explaining basic economic principles while ignoring mathematics.

It might be called a little biased by mostly ignoring "market failures" yet basic physics also mostly ignore friction.

Also regarding "meaningful": I had tried to get an understanding of how society works for some time and had even tried reading Capital by Marx but in the end I found most I wanted in Basic Economics.

If that's the case, lazy is something that never ever happened. There is always a reason. Here are a few more of them:

- I don't want to do it, but I'm afraid to tell you this;

- It seems the task requires a degree of sustained focus that is beyond my capacity;

- What? I'm hyperthyroid;

- I'm busy being afraid of something that could happen to me soon, over which I have no control, or the only control I have is to turn a probable bad thing into 100% sure bad thing; because of that, I am fully on auto-pilot and unable to process anything that requires expending effort to stay focused;

- What? What task? Oh sorry, I was busy trying to calm myself down from an anxiety attack and completely forgot. But now you reminding me is shooting my anxiety back, so kindly please GTFO; I may or may not do the thing, depending on how long it'll take me to calm myself down again.

Etc.

"Lazy" is a pure judgement. It doesn't care about reasons - it's a statement that "this person cannot be relied on". Which would be fair if used only to manage expectations, but it's actually used as a blunt weapon - a crude attempt to make someone reliable by guilt-tripping and peer pressure.

EDIT: a few more reasons:

- Whenever I attempt this task, my mind blanks out. Don't know why. But it's so bad that I can't even break things down into smaller steps.

- Two or three times, I poured all my heart and effort into doing this, and not only you weren't satisfied with the results, you actually ridiculed me for them and accused of not caring, while at no point explaining what your definition of "good result" is. So guess what, this thing got crossed off the list of possible things I could be doing, at a subconscious level. I'm unable to recognize this is a task to be done, unless you request it directly. Which I hope you won't. Fuck you.

- (4 year old version of the above) I tried my best, you didn't even notice, told me I did nothing, and even screamed at me. I'm now experiencing a panic attack when you ask me to do it, which blanks my mind out and freezes me in place. You calling me lazy and screaming more and throwing away my toys doesn't help. Good job at parenting you're doing there.

- (with apologies to 'coldtea) The reason you see me constantly "relaxing" and "having fun" is because I'm constantly 5 minutes away from curling up on the floor and crying. There is no "fun vs. work", there is only "fun vs. pain".

All of the reasons I listed are things I've either experienced or dealt with people who were experiencing them.

> Show me the code for cross platform GUI development that doesn't look something like this.

Well, there's Qt that's relatively popular. Also WxWidgets. Java applications have had much success for x-platform GUIs (Jetbrains products come to mind) but is hardly considered lightweight (although much lighter than Electron-types).

Personally, I lean towards Lazarus.

All of the above (and I'm missing quite a few here) are insanely lightweight and performant compared to Electron-type implementations.

> Explain how it's better than this, and how we should all be using it, instead of this.

I did not claim that "all of us" should be using the alternatives. I said that, while in general I agree with using the quickets x-platform dev stack, for this particular application which claims "performance" as it's main goal AND further goes on to claim actual performance as a delivered result, I disagree that it is in any way as performant as it could be.

I mean, a quick win here would have been to use one of those alternatives I listed, maybe Qt. C++ GUI (using Qt) with Rust application logic would have probably been faster to develop than Html/Js + Rust, and the result would run just as fast (if not faster) and use less memory.

I'm inclined to use some of my precious free time to write a bare-bones x-platform GUI chat application, inventing my own protocol (like Linen did) just so that I have something to point at when invariably the claims of "performant" in electron-type apps is made.

Incredible that they are dumb enough to believe that this can be enforced. We live in the EU, with free movement of goods and people, meaning that we can easily order our next electronic device from any other EU country that will not enforce this nonsense.

Of course, the next step will be you are shopping abroad == you are suspiciously close to being a terrorist.

On the other hand, I can see enough countries willing to support such a requirement, forcing an enforcement on a larger scale.
