The BJJ gyms near me (I live in OC, it's practically the BJJ Mecca -- one of my neighbors is a head professor at the Gracie HQ in Irvine) just aren't that great for busy parents. Classes are at absolutely shit times if you need to help with your kids on either end of the day... 7am or 7pm. If you work and can't get away during the day, you're SOL.

I haven't been to a BJJ gym since before the pandemic because the one place with night classes (9pm) shut down and the professor left the state for economic reasons.
Shadow file was definitely from quite a while ago.

Can't remember exact date, but might have been around time of SVR4 intro.

I know because I remember going "ugh", but without investigating the reason why it (shadow) was introduced :) - which was of course wrong on my part.
I have always thought it was just a coincidence or an intentional reference, but there actually exists a connection between Hipgnosis (British design studio responsible for a lot of prog rock album covers) and Psygnosis (British video game studio whose logo has a very prog rock look to it). The connection is the artist Roger Dean.

Another connection I was unaware of: the artist whose painting graces Eno's Another Green World is also the artist behind A Humument, a popular piece of modern art.
> His focus was looking at resilience against weather, insects etc. and mixed forests fared significantly better throughout all climate zones.

It makes sense. The diversity means that while one genera is suffering from some Hostility X or Y (e.g., insects) the others might not be, or at least as much so.

Diversity is a form of hedging your bet.

> From 1978 to 2021, CEO pay grew by 1,460%, adjusted for inflation, versus just 18.1% for the typical worker.

Why has the supply of CEOs not kept up with the demand for them? Surely, with the improvement in education and in increase in MBA programs, there must be far more CEOs today than in 1978. Why has the ratio of CEOs to Companies fallen by 14x for their wages to rise this much? /s

As many argue, wages are only set by supply and demand. And if workers are underpaid, then it is because they are replaceable. Use the same framework to explain CEO pay.
If you're looking for corruption then you should contemplate the efficacy of your corruption. Are you getting sufficient ROI? Are the waitstaff actually engaging in corruption for you?

In restaurants where you get access to the kitchen I tip straight into the kitchen. I get more meat and I can tell the kitchen pays attention to my order. In contrast, how much do you have to tip to get your waiters to call in a corrupt favor in the kitchen on your behalf?

Also, most restaurants have a bad waitstaff to customer ratio. If you're looking for "corruption" then you're looking for the waitstaff to attend to you at the cost of other customers. How much do you have to pay to get that kind of treatment? At least enough to cover over the disrespect being dealt to the other customers, which could be major $.
I'm a little disappointed that's still an active cause.

Why do we want old growth forests over harvestable forests? Is there an ecological advantage
There is an equation with an equilibrium:

CEO's pay rate = (some multiplier) * median salaried worker's pay rate

OR

CEO's pay rate = (some multiplier) * minimum salaried worker's pay rate

We've been conditioned to think it's not fair somehow, but the discrepancy is just....engorgingly terrible. I'm not arguing for how this metric would be enforced, only that it would be a good one to have. Especially in a time when greed is the lowest common denominator in the race to the bottom for some of these large corporations.

It wouldn't fix the stockholder "value" chase, but at least it would shore up one part of the system weak to corruption.
AFCI or GFCI? The latter are unquestionably valuable. The former is a bit harder to argue for?
Good episode of Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast from a little while ago on the topic:

> On September 14, the contract between the United Auto Workers and the Big Three carmakers (GM, Ford and Stellantis) is expiring — and the possibility of a strike is real. This comes at a delicate time for multiple reasons. The labor market is tight, which means workers have other options. Inflation is high. And the auto industry is undergoing a major shift to the electric vehicle market, which may change the composition and pay of the labor force. The stakes are high. So what does the union want and how does it fit into the goals of the broader labor market? To understand more, we speak with Dan Vicente, the director of UAW Region 9, as well as Alex Press, a labor reporter at Jacobin magazine.

> They went to Ukraine to take the land required to give them a buffer against NATO-aligned forces, which have called for the destruction of Russia for years - and thats exactly what they've created.

Interesting cause the victory article they accidentally posted then quickly deleted didn’t even mention NATO once.

But do you know what it did talk about?, the tragedy of Ukrainian independence and fixing that historical “mistake” of 1991.

That sounds more like imperialism than wanting a buffer state to me.

I agree. But there are some dishes that often taste better at a restaurant or require so much preparation a restaurant is much more feasible. I'm best at cooking things I can iterate on quickly. Especially foods you can taste as you go along like soups and stews. But homemade ramen? One full day of boiling pig trotters to make a broth, only to realize it ended up very mid doesn't exactly inspire me to keep at it. Same with baking that requires me to proof the dough for multiple days. I just can't get it refined enough in a short amount of time to make it worthwhile for me.

French fries are another one which I just can't nail as well at home, and the double cooking is annoying enough to keep me from perfecting it. Also throw in dishes which require more specialized cookware like a tandoori oven. Yeah, you can make naan without it but it's not the same. Largely though I can easily make most "North American" dishes better than what I can experience at most restaurants.

Random question regarding OpenBSD:

I'm curious why you suggested OpenBSD vs Linux? I read through your linked "OpenBSD : why and how" [1] article - as well as the secondary linked article from that page [2] - and couldn't help but notice how many of the reasons listed were reasons why not to use OpenBSD. More than that, the limitations (while I do understand the value of doing simple things well) of the system seem highly constraining.

Do you use OpenBSD for all your devices, all the time? Or is it more of a thing where OpenBSD serves your needs perfectly for some smaller subset of what a "computer" is, and for everything else you have a separate device to fill those needs? (An ipad/macbook for media consumption, a home server for handling media related tasks, etc.)

Love the general sentiment behind the article, btw. The OpenBSD thing just really stood out to me as I read through it.

Yes, flagged for claiming that unions were the main reason for the increase, when it's clear that fast food wages have gone up all over the country due to inflation and a tight labor market on the low end, even where fast food workers aren't unionized, and also for an insufferably cringe writing style.
The problem is, as anyone with sufficient experience knows, it is perfectly possible and common for devs to design security disasters without any involvement by the spooks.

Where I live in germany, there used to be extensive spruce monocultures forests everywhere.

They are mostly chopped down now and replaced with a mixed young forest, all without herbicides. (But with some planted trees, cleansing and fences to protect the young forest from deers) So after 15 years they surely are not comparible to old grown forests, but they are very diverse and alive. So I strongly question the assumption that herbicides are necessary or beneficial to create a diverse forest.

Most of the dominating species in the first years will be (were) replaced by something else eventually.
But if we offer more money, surely we will attract the attention of a better CEO!

The article posits that fathers are only valued for their ability to make money, are expected to do only that, and so do not interact with their community in the same way as mothers.

Ah yes, gathering information in a particular unfamiliar area probably describes it better.

For me, it's been able to give very good answers when they were within the first few Google results when searched for using the proper terms (but the value is in giving you these terms in the first place!).

For questions from my field, it's been wildly hallucinating and producing half-truths, outdated information, or complete nonsense. Which is also fair, because the documentation where the answers could be found is often proprietary, and even then it's either outdated or outright wrong half of the time :)

the supply of prospective management people definitely has kept up. there are literally tens of thousands of MBAs graduating every year, to say nothing of managers at existing F500 companies. there are only so many large companies, and thus so many CEOs.

look at tiny barely profitable companies, the gap between median wage and CEO is sometimes less than 2X.

all these takes on CEO pay when the reality is simple - CEOs are paid a lot because they the cost of being wrong is more than their pay. this results in companies that have a lot of money competing, driving up the price. the end. it's the same reason lebron james is paid 10X more than NBA average.
I've heard a counter-argument to this before and I'm curious to get other's take on it.

Basically, the story goes that when an individual rises into a significant leadership position at a large enough company that the economic calculations become different. There's still an element of domain expertise, but, for the most part, leadership is leadership wherever you go. This implies that a leader could (potentially) move across sectors and still be effective which results in a wider pool of companies that are interested in competing for this person when contrasted to the ICs. Since some sectors are very profitable they end up "bidding up" quality leadership. The combination of this effect along with the fact there are objectively fewer CEOs than ICs results in a mismatch in salaries.

I think there's an element of truth to this, but probably not to the extent that it justifies the widening pay gaps everywhere?

Profit sharing is common, especially amongst employee owned companies. Base wages are behind inflation and cost of living, so of course it needs to catch up to the current macro. Fast food worker minimum wage is now $20/hr in California, for example, and healthcare worker minimum wage will be $25/hr (SB525).

This kind of logic doesn't help anyone - yes, CEO pay is insane but its that way because of how much risk they take ownership of and shoulder day in day out. If one line worker forgets to tie a wire-harness it's not like the entire company will end up in financial ruin... However, the CEO making serious mistakes can and has cost GM millions.

> If you decouple the file format from the SQL engine

That alone would be a difficult project. If you really want to break things down, easier to say your document standard relies on SQLite's rather simple query language (https://www.sqlite.org/lang.html), and there, it's independent of SQLite's query planner and file format. Wouldn't be hard to make it work with Postgres or MySQL, for instance.

There was an example in Money Stuff this week where a CEO got a pay package "worth $110 million". It's actually made of stock options that vest if the share price went above $150, but the expected value was $110 million so that's what was reported.

…But the share price only reached $66. So in fact he was paid zero, and he quit. (Well, $1.5 million in cash.)
