Wild mushroom foraging is pretty common in Eastern Europe. Warnings about it in elementary school was why I was scared of eating mushrooms for a decade (admittedly a rather childish overreaction ;). Every few years I will hear about someone getting severely ill. Context: growing up in Bulgaria in the 90s and 00s.

At 77 years, he certainly knew what he's picking up, it's not that hard to learn edible mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms and ignore the rest which may be edible but also not.

> Without insects, the legendary biologist E.O. Wilson wrote nearly 40 years ago, “I doubt that the human species could last more than a few months.” First, “most of the fishes, amphibians, birds and mammals would crash to extinction.” Next would go the flowering plants and forests. “The earth would rot,” he continued, and the remaining vertebrates would disappear. “Within a few decades the world would return to the state of a billion years ago, composed primarily of bacteria, algae and a few other very simple multicellular plants.”

This is why the biodiversity loss is one of the biggest problems of today.

Objection, conjecture!
That was one of my takeaways as well. Nothing beats primary sources and aligned incentives.

Also just as a practical matter: Professionals are required to track the money and engineering, so there's bound to be a paper trail. No one has a good reason to write down the "why" unless it's a cool story to retell. Even then, the details behind the story wouldn't be included.
If you're in the United States you can get an ADHD diagnosis in under a month. There are many online psychiatry services which can provide an ADHD diagnosis and stimulant prescription following a 30 minute zoom call.

Stimulants are a mixed bag. For me, Adderall provided a sense of agency I've never felt before, and I'm willing to live with the side effects and potential long-term consequences.

Be kind to yourself regardless of the path forward. Self-flagellation is common and unhelpful when feeling unproductive.
Turn off slack & email for solid blocks of time (4+ hours) during working hours. Build back the ability to focus during work, and your weekend time becomes easier, because you're more in the habit.
At my last company we had an architect whose only direct coding contributions were deletions, because nobody gets credited for cleaning up code.
Even then it's very advisable to go out into the wilderness with a trained professional.
The question is whether you get more volume but lower quality: a team doing 60 hour weeks on a regular basis tends to be a team baking in lots of technical debt and skipping “slow” things like “do we really understand what our users really need?” or “did we correctly architect this?” Everywhere I’ve seen this there’s been a lot more rework and things like high infrastructure bills because people have [correctly] learned that the business doesn’t care about quality.

This sounds like an improvement over the opposite, a code base that is rarely touched and uses eol frameworks. Software is a living thing and if you don’t act as a ruthless gardener you wind up a museum curator with 1990s DEC hardware running in the 2010’s.

The right balance of staying current and not reinventing the wheel is not trivial.

Do you think a recently made AI generated book only available in English and from western shops has made its way to a 77yo Russian executive who probably learnt to pick mushrooms 50 years ago?
Mushroom foraging is highly local. Chances are you have a nearby mushroom group which could recommend a book that's good for your area.
A less charitable moniker for this approach is “eternal beta”.
This is not remotely what the "common knowledge" about mushroom foraging is in Eastern Europe. There is a "funny" story in Bulgaria how the most famous mushroom foraging expert in Bulgaria a few decades ago died because he made a mistake when foraging.

Plenty of edible mushrooms are just "twins" of poisonous mushrooms, using animal's knowledge to not eat them, without expending the metabolic cost to actually produce poison.
American health insurance is allowed to refuse to pay for any treatment considered experimental so the correct question is "will anyone be able to afford it" and the answer is "not the masses not anytime this decade".

Speaking of Gitea, it is worth to point out that on the OP website they mention that Forgejo is working on implementing ForgeFed.

Forgejo in turn, is a fork of Gitea.

So anyone currently running their own instance of Gitea should consider keeping an eye on Forgejo.

You can get a small jumper battery and leave it in the car. You can easily charge it with the EV. It'll be smaller than a full set of jumper cables, even.
To be fair, this could also be the effects of Covid isolation. Getting cut off from socialization and physical activity for years on end is a surefire way to induce a depressive episode in the healthiest of minds. Not everyone's made out to tend a lighthouse.
That's not generally how it works in professional sports with player unions. Nor does it work that way in the film and television industries where there are unions representing writers, directors, actors, etc...

The shape of the union is whatever the membership wants it to have.
> Jobs clearly wasn't resistant to app stores. He literally had one in the works when the product shipped.

This is a myth. Jobs was genuinely against a native SDK and made the final decision to go for it on the 2nd of October 2007. Then Apple had to rush out the first version of the iPhoneOS SDK in just over three months. This is documented in contemporaneous emails produced during discovery for the Epic trial.

It’s been 15% for years. The only people who pay 30% are people who earn more than a million dollars a year through the App Store. Almost everybody pays 15%.
But it does not have a means of reporting ECC triggers to the user from my understanding, which is really one of the most important parts.

When ECC starts tripping on a device outside of completely random times is when you should look into what's going wrong. You may have overheating or failing hardware.

I like the bit where Jobs is saying he's introducing three products. The audience reaction is wildest for the phone, then the "widescreen iPod", and then just a smattering of enthusiasm for the "Internet communicator". As it turns out, that last aspect completely eclipsed the other two.

The answer to your scenario is `yes` with a high probability (taken from my magician's hat), but only in the short term.

People like the one described in the article prepare a pipeline of good engineers, who also have experience in the domain and in the organization.

So if one cares about fast delivery, get a good number of sr engineers who work on their own thing, share little and are not encumbered by each other. If a company needs to deliver urgently this works, but is an (expensive, short term) option.
If you were assuming the bridge was to provide walkability then the next question would be “why connect these two points instead of somewhere more populous?”

Just because you're a special snowflake (you aren't, but keep believing it if it works for you) doesn't mean that the discovery process isn't the best approach for teaching most people things. Hearing or reading something is the lowest form of learning and generally results in the lowest retention.

> thats just a huge waste of time.

Instilling knowledge and discovery rather than rote completion of work based on others' ideas is far from a "waste of time" for people who actually understand the learning process. Growth is generally desired in the business world, even if it results in a short term hit.
It depends on the use-case, of course, but when applicable I vastly prefer native offline-first (or local-network-first) apps.
My position is that you need to make time. Simply passing bad drivers shifts a greater cost to everyone else – the time saved skipping 10 minutes on the test is going to be a fraction of what that driver costs everyone else the first time they drive downtown.
You aren’t required to like the conventional way they do things in Python.

I dunno. I don’t love Python for big projects either. If we want to go around and tell all the people using this very popular language to stop shipping their successful products because they look messy to us, I’ll happily take the second shift (after you), haha.

ForgeFed is an extension to ActivityPub protocol that allows bridging forges wrt issue tracking and merge requests, but innovating further on top of the protocol. For instance by adding support for Object Capabilities [0], inspired by Cap'n Proto and the Spritely Institute.

The project would be greatly helped by having more contributors put their eyes over the specs and adding support. Gitlab is working on ActivityPub-based federation [1] and will hopefully become a great reference implementation.

I know you're being sarcastic but it also introduced the virtual desktop switcher, (full) DX12, made significant improvements to the console, added real ARM support for the desktop OS, replaced IE, implemented proper DPI support (all the way to per-monitor true fractional), added openssh, actual HDR support, and many more things that can be surprisingly hard to go without if you revert to a previous release.

There is always plenty wrong with each new release but the comments and jokes about ${"LATEST_RELEASE"} of ${"SOFTWARE"} being unilaterally worse just make me think the person can't deal with something changing instead of the software actually being bad.

Comments and jokes about how they could have an entire new release worth of features just bringing back what they've removed or reverse-improved over the years however... that I agree with ;).
Don’t sleep with your phone in the bedroom.
Both of those examples have weaker unions that play less of a role. Also the poster above suggested that the union as opposed to the management could measure performance. That doesn't happen in sports or TV.
Is it interoperable with Mastodon - like Kbin is? That's the biggest reason to use ActivityPub.
Roughly understanding that there is a loop that is doing work on a queue and calling your code is useful insofar that you have a mental model for the IoC that is happening.

I've seen smart and capable programmers who are not used to UI programming and async in general who struggle with callbacks and IoC initially. You can draw a simple picture on a whiteboard to explain the overall concept to give them something to grasp on.
Consider getting a blood test if you haven't already. At the very least, it'll help you knock off any possibilities that you may be low in iron, vitamin D, or vitamin B12. For me, that turned out to be the case and taking supplements fixed the issue.

And this goes without saying but have you tried, and I mean REALLY tried the following (be honest with yourself):

- Cut down on your phone time. Delete your apps for at least a month. Cut down on news. Cut down on distractions. Even your normal apps you find useful, turn off any notification sounds or popups.

- Exercise regularly.

- Eat a healthy diet, nothing that spikes your blood sugar like sugar-heavy or processed food.

I'm not saying this is the solution for every one and the solution for everything, but there have been multiple times in my life I haven't felt like myself and returning to these "basics" really helped me.

It isn't clear if the ones being launched have the cellphone communication capability yet.
For some aquifers this is true, but not all.
Actually, it isn't. I've implemented an IRQ level like system on Intel Architecture, and the operating system concept really doesn't match the processor's and interrupt controller's architectures very well at all until local APICs enter into the picture. Without a local APIC, one has to do tricks like re-issue interrupts with INT instructions in order to implement the NT interrupt model.

The IRQ level concept may have antecedents in earlier systems from the 1980s, but it does not originate with the Intel-based Personal Computer AT architecture of the time, with its dual 8259s, EOIs, IF, and whatnot.
> Grass fed beef with rotational grazing is good for the environment

Grass-fed beef isn't necessarily better for the environment than beef from CAFOs. While grass-fed systems offer benefits like soil health, they often require more land, potentially leading to deforestation. They can also be less efficient in terms of resource use and have variable effects on carbon sequestration. A comprehensive assessment considering land use efficiency, resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions is essential to fully understand the environmental impact of different beef production methods.

https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/publications/grazed-and-co...

"About 75% to 80% of grass-fed beef sold in the U.S. is grown abroad, from Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America ..."

"Many U.S. customers who want to support local food are likely unaware of the foreign origin of most grass-fed beef. By law, if meat is "processed," or passes through a USDA-inspected plant (a requirement for all imported beef), it can be labeled as a product of the U.S. "

https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/08/13/746576239/is...

"This report concludes that grass-fed livestock are not a climate solution. Grazing livestock are net contributors to the climate problem, as are all livestock. Rising animal production and consumption, whatever the farming system and animal type, is causing damaging greenhouse gas release and contributing to changes in land use.

'Ultimately, if high consuming individuals and countries want to do something positive for the climate, maintaining their current consumption levels but simply switching to grass-fed beef is not a solution. Eating less meat, of all types, is.’"

Tim was the worst programmer. I'd be so bold as to say he wasn't a programmer at all. He was a mentor and a leader and should have been promoted rather than sacked to replace whatever taskmaster your team had at the time.
Focus used to mean buckling down and adding a lot of effort and output to a task. Push big rock hard to build pyramid, or smash hard thing with hammer, means adding a lot of energy to the task.

Focus means now to subtract out everything that isn't.

Everything that isn't the answer to your task.

And don't hold the stuff you got rid of.

Find the valley where the answer to your question fits.

As soon as you feel the desire to add things, or feel any desire really, you'll be back onto tasks that categorically can absorb additional energy. Cleaning the mower, cutting grass, tripod'ed the iPad while talking off your gf's ear (or whatever).

Descend the mountain, get to the bottom of all relationships, use critical thinking to lighten your workload, not add more analysis. Let go of having a full working map of your code in your 'mind' as you go... or at least your process for finding a code answer is along the same path as letting go of juggling multiple concepts in your mind until there's just one left.

Complete opposite of how I grew up working.

Oh gosh I'm doing it now by over explaining this. Good luck!
