A common strategy taught in MBA school in the US, is to “hire a bunch of assholes to push non-dedicated people out of the org; then fire the assholes and hire actually good people.” This was nearly 15 years ago since I learned about it in class, I don’t remember if there is a name for it. I just remember thinking “this can’t be real.”

I wonder if people are idiotically applying the same thing to the marketplace.

Indeed. I have family books from the 1800s and photo albums from the early 1900s. Zero effort was put into preserving these, they were just left on a shelf, occasionally moving from generation to generation.

Except for the most obsessive & technically skilled archivists, nobody will have any photos/documents from today in 100-150 years.

worth re-upping -

postgres requests an id from the sequence for each row of the incoming data ahead of time since it doesn't know which rows are updates and which are inserts (although presumably this could be changed?). the sequence doesn't reset down for the unused so this can eat through it unexpectedly quickly if you have a table with a relatively large volume of updates.

also as a tip if you hit the max integer for the sequence and need space to implement a fundamental fix you can quickly change the sequence to start at -1 and go down. there's no issue with negative ids since they're also integers.

People on the left wing generally call it "late stage capitalism" or "the end game of rent seeking": dumping competitors on price, subsidized by seemingly infinite amounts of VC money (domestic, foreign and dark/blood - i.e. Saudi oil money) until you achieve total and utter dominance, and then jack up prices while letting the product itself rot. After all why invest into a product's maintenance or development when your users don't have any other choice left?

You're definitely not "stupid" stupid. I dont know you, but I know stupid people. Not one of them was this self-reflecting. And I don't mean that you're right about yourself --- only that you are willing to be reflecting on yourself.

In any case, may I ask you what exactly you're expecting to get out of being smart? In my personal, academic & professional circle I'm usually regarded as "the smart guy" for reasons that I would definitely not classify myself as smart. I consider myself a fast learner, but with an absolutely garbage memory and an attention span of about 20 seconds. Not exactly traits that I would describe Einstein with. In any case, I'm writing this to say: I have never felt like this gave me any joy or reason to live? I enjoy what I enjoy and that's pretty sweet deal; sweet enough to ride it out. The only thing that makes me anxious is that my time is running out and there is so much shit I want to start, and then pause, and then procastinate, and then deep dive into again, and then stop, and then repeat. And my intelligence level really plays a very minor role in those things.

In other words: If you were smarter, how would you enjoy life more? Would you do other things? Would your outlook on things that you are doing be so different, that you would enjoy them more?

Maybe if the exogenous medical system didn't suck so bad, there would be less need to self-medicate.

Also, "self-medicate" is such a disparaging term. Humans have been medicating outside of a clinical context for approximately 99% of our existence as Homo sapiens. I'm pretty sure my cat is "self-medicating" when she can't get a hairball up on her own and so she eats some lawn grass and yakks (usually on my couch).

Maybe you could express your concern differently? There are definitely a lot of ins-and-outs about many aspects of Rust. It operates differently from many other languages, sometimes in surprising ways.

I agree that in some areas there could be better guidance. Is Tokio the runtime most people choose? Yes. Would most people be fine choosing that for their daily work? Yes. Might you want to choose a different one? It depends on what you’re doing, others have different goals and tradeoffs. Are there interface choices regarding things like Send + Sync or IO interfaces/traits you pick that will have impacts on how you structure your code to make it portable across runtimes? Absolutely.

And finally, can Rust be better in regards to async development? Yes, everyone agrees that it should be. My big thing is that we really need async traits in the language. We have an excellent work around with the async-trait macro until we get support for it in the language, but you need to discover that, and then recognize some of its idiosyncrasies in certain situations.

They were within the scope of “concentration camps” as the term was used prior to being a euphemism for the Nazi extermination camps, and even compared to other examples of that class fairly mild.

They were bad, but I can’t imagine any reason to call them “holocaust camps” except to deliberately minimize the holocaust.

> But instead they want "bigger" and are chasing after the iPad with the new pixel tablet

I bought a 11" tablet BECAUSE it is much bigger than a phone, so I can comfortably watch videos and read technical documents. I might have considered as small as 8", but 10" was really the minimum in my mind.

Given that most android phones are 6-6.5" already, why would anyone buy a 7" tablet in addition to their phone? Maybe as a throwaway gift to a child? Would the market be large enough to be worth it?

I do not know anyone serious about the outdoors that does not know how to use a map and compass.

Extremely straightforward to learn.

I hike with a Garmin foretrex, I route plan and land nav when out there with a map. The garmin sanity checks me once in a while.

There is a significant amount of bad stuff that can go very wrong, to start, just bc your Garmin’s altimeter and calibration is bugging out while you mindlessly follow. And when you’re in areas where this matters (ie “can I hear street noise” judgment”), the out of the box technical land navigation tools tend to not work out of the box.

I’ve had an updated and calibrated Garmin put me 5-600m away from where I definitely was via map, compass triangulation and then sanity check with a iPhone b/c the difference really surprised me. 5-600m difference is quite consequential. Mix in Garmin using optionally Glonass (Russian satellites), there’s just a lot of stuff that can go sideways. Easy enough to buy a compass, map protector, local map. Even something like knowing what and how to shoot an emergency azimuth can solve an otherwise crisis situation.

How clean does a runway have to be for an F-35 to take-off from it? I remember a lot of internet grief over the idea of shipping American fighters to Ukraine, on the grounds that the F-16 and other American fighters were designed only for pristine runways. Low air intakes of the sort Americans favor would ingest debris that would damage the engines, so runways have to be absolutely clear. The MiG-29, on the other hand, has auxiliary air intakes above the wing for taking off on a poorly maintained airstrip. So, does the F-35 need specially cleaned highways?
Great explanation,

I highly recommend the author’s book

Which country was that? The drone detects the country through GPS upon startup and limits its transmission power according to the local laws.

In the US, the drone can use way higher transmission power (~ 4-20 times more, depending on the drone) .
At this point, I think they are really just incapable of doing the right things for promoting their products and cause. I'm recently getting a lot of Ads for Mozilla on Instagram, but surprisingly they are the most useless ads I've ever seen. They tell absolute nothing, communicate nothing and are probably just pure waste of money. It's just random pictures, without any text, no message, no logo, without the advertiser-name in the corner, I wouldn't even know it is from Mozilla.
Depression impairs motivation, decreases tolerance of physical discomfort, and is also associated with impairment of planning abilities, and also has a correlation with eating disorders.

Occam's razor: the depressed can't plan and then cook a good meal for themselves, and so buy ready-to-eat processed food.

Anecdotally, when I was younger and very poor, I could not eat well unless I did everything from scratch -- several hours of work a day in the kitchen. When I got depressed, I'd try to cook while hungry, and get more and more agitated at my discomfort until I lost emotional control, and nothing got cooked. Cry. Eat instant noodles or crackers. Repeat the next day. When I finally made or got my hands on a proper hot meal with protein, my mood would noticeably improve.

My mood is still very susceptible to my diet, but these days I can afford stop-gap solutions to having no energy to cook, like just getting some reasonably healthy takeout.

I just switched over to IPhone after a solid three years on a Pixel 4a 5g and am having some adjustment pains with iOS related to lack of these features. Live transcription is another super useful feature I truly value during long, annoying calls with call menu options (IRS, hospitals, etc), since it is so helpful to see what the previous options were without having to listen to the entire damn menu again.

Then there are small annoyances like not having the option to enable auto-space after punctuation like commas and periods in messages, even with third-party keyboards like swift keybaord. And not being able to set a separate ringer and alarm volume. I keep my ringer volume very low during the day, but I depend on a loud alarm. Got to work late today as a consequence of this!

I'm already considering switching back to pixel 8 once it releases next month, especially due to the increased support. Only thing holding me back is tensor chips not yet being on par until around 2025 when Google releases its first fully custom chip.

I'd love to have my photoshoot not ruined by some wannabe hiker.

it plays both ways
Things like "M$" and "Micro$oft" (and many other ways Microsoft was lampooned that I can't recall) where common when I was in highschool (~2008). Not with everyone, but any of the tech literate kids (not even say, the kids who made games in their spare time) were aware of these things, which by that time, gaming was getting to be more mainstream, and there was more exposure to these "in" jokes to a different crowd. They seemed to persist well passed the sell by date, as it were.

They definitely took a huge hit in public opinion. I'm from a middle of nowhere town, its not tech adjacent or focused, and these were common online forums where we interacted at the time (and by some extension the broader public ones).

Even teachers would poke fun at Microsoft from time to time, as I recall

Hmmm ... nonsense apparently!

I got my iPad, tried several different apps, and I now see that the feature is present in all of the ones I tried.

I think what I did differently this time was hold the spacebar down long enough for the feature to kick in. On my android phone there isn't that long of a delay, so I think that's what threw me off.

Thank you for the correction!
