The correlation between vegans and health is muddied by the fact that vegans put far more thought into their diet than the average person. Its entirely possible not eating meat is orthoganal to health and its just that they actually care about what they eat.

No evidence of this, but I also suspect that vegans care more about their health in other weights too (e.g. exercising, not smoking, etc). If they can keep up with a vegan diet, they likely also have the discipline to keep up with exercise regimes and keeping good habits.
My only experience dealing with an union as a SWE, in Germany at that, has been a negative one. It shaped my opinion on the topic.
> dev salaries in EU and the UK are so abysmally low

I don't think they are. I think salaries in the US are astronomical, and it boggles the mind how in California a 22 year old React nerd can command a salary five times higher than, say, a teacher.

It's all a matter of perspective. From my perspective, if you can sit on your sofa, build a website, and pull in €80k, you're doing just fine.

In our (and many of our customers') experience, E&C doesn't work for anything larger than simple toy projects. It just isn't reliable.

On top of that, I think its biggest shortcoming is that E&C doesn't work with optimizations at all (this is documented), and is tied to the Visual Studio IDE, which not everybody uses.

My advice would be to read Piumarta's "Optimizing direct threaded code by selective inlining" paper [1] first, and then read the references from the wikipedia article [2].

If the piumarta paper is still over your head, take a look at its references, but they will refer to Java, SmallTalk and Forth which might be a distraction.

This isn't true. The UK can spend as freely as the US. Being the reserve currency has nothing to do with it. Demand for the currency is unrelated to how much a sovereign state can spend.
I've never heard of anyone using unions in software in europe. Maybe something popular in just one country?

The problem with unions is that if you are a top performer it's harder to get promoted, if you're crap it's harder to get rid of you.

Overall it's great for non productive people who can pay a little and coast, great for everyone else. I can understand unions for low paid jobs the should be done by machines (eg. factory workers) but it doesn't make sense for knowledge work where performance has huge impact.

Oh and they want money to do that.

Snowy 2 loses economically to solar plus batteries.

Note I said solar plus batteries. Many of the ridiculous back of the envelope numbers you see for batteries assume every watt is sacred and must be stored and used.

It's usually cheaper to build more renewables, throw some over generation away and charge batteries for short term balancing when that is actually cheaper.

What you actually care about is electricity delivered and having weeks of storage isn't as valuable when you can rely on the sun rising every day.

Snowy 2 is a particularly bad project:

https://reneweconomy.com.au/snowy-2-much-how-can-a-2-2gw-wat...

but I'd suggest any hydro project where the dam isn't needed for other water based uses e.g. agricultural, is probably going to struggle to justify itself versus more renewables and batteries.

Give me a 3-4 person plan that costs $30-$40/month. You’re leaving money on the table!

I'm not too impressed with these examples. I mean it's impressive that it can build code, but it's a very long way off building entire games that you'd want to play.

The human still has to provide the creative input - the concept of the game, the rules, and multiple steps of guidance to get anywhere (when it works).

The code is sometimes generated correctly, but only if a) it's fairly trivial and b) the model can generalise from something else it's seen. There's squillions of maze examples out there so models build slight variations on this easily enough, but as soon as you inject some originality, the model flounders.

The phone only auto capitalizes the first letter of a sentence. If you end up changing it sometimes it doesn't get replaced with a capital. If you get frustrated with autocorrect features, often modern phones don't allow you to select which features to turn off and you're forced to turn everything off, at least that's how it was during the time i learned to type with the phone. I'm not gen z but I'd say it has a lot to do with it being much more cumbersome to capitalize a letter on the phone than the keyboard.

Plus, there's also the aesthetic, for a while we did it out of angst and to show we weren't all that wrapped up in the modern sensibilities. It seems like the situation as society moved forward may have only gotten worse for this.

If you're confused about something gen z does, it's either:

1) they're teenagers and grew up with phones, get with the times old man

2) a large corporation that didn't have a monolopy on communication (maybe basically everything else too) when you grew up now does and its an artifact of being forced to grow in that world

3) global warming is scary as shit, no one in power seems to give a shit, economies are crumbling, we're temporarily losing the worldwide battle for continued democracy, why wont they stop the war, school shootings, nuclear destruction isn't too close but doesn't look like it's getting farther away, etc etc etc. Basically, "have you seen the world? Why are you even trying, let alone the teenagers today?" type thing.
Not necessarily. If your revenue curve is trailing your hiring curve by N years, you need to stop hiring N years before your revenue curve plateaus.
I won't argue what is going to happen. I do think if bitcoin were to go this way it would lose most of its fundamental value. As border restrictions, sanctions, KYC, tracking are all applied to the institutional coin, there would be little advantage in comparison to other instruments which generate yield or are more liquid.

In such a world the demand for a truly sovereign bitcoin would still exist, although using it may be out of reach for most, depending on how things play out.

The battle is on, in terms of finding ways to scale bitcoins sovereign transaction limit, and find ways to transact that can't easily be prevented with the wave of a regulator's pen.
And this goes both ways, employees can go out as they please. The opposite party usually get hurt when it happens (either the firing or employee go out), and usually coworkers / existing workers that get the bad things.

So in my experience, don't get too attached to company (or coworker either), and go out if things start to go south or if there's better opportunity out there.

The big expensive malls are doing fine. I would never buy anything from half the stores because it's too expensive, but I guess somebody is buying.

I go there for the Lego and Apple Stores, and restaurants (Cheesecake factory isn't treeeible)

It's the smaller, lower end malls that are dead. Their anchor stores are either long gone (Sears) or on deaths door (Macy's, JC Penny), food courts are empty.

They look like flea markets inside. Random junk stores, kiosks...
Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Usually in debates around weight, people focus on the message of counting calories and metabolism, but the psychological aspects are not usually discussed and based on how I felt and what you said, it is a super imprtant important aspect of the puzzle.

It would be rather interesting if it would be legal for me to hire somebody, then fire them the next day and they couldn't compete with me for some period of time. But then again, US employment law is rather different from EU so maybe that's possible there?

Horseshoe crab blue blood used as a vaccine ingredient
At least in Asia, many people live in apartment blocks which are built directly on top of a mall. So those malls usually local amenities, but then also serve as metro stations and bus hubs to outlying areas. It's the way that the lifestyle is structured that creates this system, and it's hard to see how one might apply the american style suburbs and single homes to this system.

Also modern asian malls are generally much more luxurious than western malls, very clean, air conditioned, with 3 or more floors, ice rinks, pop up events, clean toilets, etc. Many of your local malls of a city would be comparable to the best of an American city, let alone the best of that respective city.
It isn't a glitch, it is simply how the modern monetary system works. States can spend as much as they would like to. The issue for a state is what is available to buy, not whether the money is there to buy it with.

Austerity is therefore a self-defeating strategy. It does not remove wasteful spending, rather it creates more of it. What states should focus on is what are the best resources to purchase and how that spending should be apportioned, not whether there is money to spend with.
>to take advantage of "free" summer electricity you might have to lay off all your workers half the year not to mention building surplus transmission infrastructure.

Great comment.

Whichever industry you choose as a Factobattery, you should expect some added costs due to seasonal intermittency. The question is: which industry has the lowest added cost per kWh?

Has there ever been a study to rank order which industrial processes make the best Factobatteries?

This is just unrealistic. When layoffs happens, whole departments can get cut. They don’t differentiate performers.

Likewise, there is a huge bias in hiring against older developers. Getting laid off in your 40s is a death sentence. You’ll never make as much money again, and you’ll be lucky to find employment.

Be ready to retire by 50, because anything else is both risky and improbable.

> Even if it did, the average height increase the world over shows that capitalism has been an enormous win in food production and elimination of starvation.

Source(s), please?

TLDR; famines require political will to be prevented, first and foremost[0].

When you eliminate starvation, as it has happened also in non-capitalist socities, e.g. the USSR & China during the cold war, and despite horrible famines during the 20th century, everywhere, including in those two countries, height is driven by diet [1].

Specifically protein quality in developed- and protein quantity in developing countries. "Developing" says something about the standard of living, health care, access to food & water, or lack thereof.

It says nothing about the underlying economic system.

And any you make is at best correlation. Prooving causality would be extremely difficult and easily countered (see above, USSR & China, but there are many more examples). But as you made it, again, sources please.

But what is easy to make is actually the opposite point. That late stage capitalism drives inequalities in access to food in general and healthy food specifically[2,3].

And that it developed instruments that create what amounts to devastating effects to particularly people in developing societies. Often those that are capitalist economically or authoritarian politically or, worst, both. With your meaningless counterexamples in the middle eastern countries who have immense wealth from natural resources coupled with low population density.

That said: whenever I study food labels in a supermarket in the US and look at prices of food that is not highly processed and doesn't contain ingredients I would never put into my body, it is obvious that the same is true for a country that would certainly describe itself as both "capitalist" and "democratic". ;)

But to go back to your point: you are linking a cause (capitalism) with an effect (less starvation -> increase in avg. height) wrongly. What do you think Victorian England was[5]?

What do you think the middle ages in Europe[6] looked like, economically? Those are all examples of capitalist socities.

The main force that brought down starvation would probably be a combo of humanistic thinking (and eventually the acknowledgement of human rights) and modern logistics.

And the main counterforces in the 20th century be blatant ignorance of humanistic principles and wars of political systems (those two are often tightly coupled, obviously).

> That "liberty and incentive" is extremely unevenly distributed

Absolutely. I said in high growth phases, it may be beneficial for employees to not organize. Once an industry stabilizes, that may change. The German model has certainly been working much better for automotive and other established industries.

But even developers who have not been able to get into FAANG positions, US developer salaries are still higher than German ones, as far as I can tell. And for the ones that did get into FAANG, the difference is vast, even for entry level.

Like a big chunk of the language, English capitalisation is nonsensical and descriptivist. Different organisations have different rules just like different audiences have different expectations, and there is no single way to capitalise words in titles.

I'm with the parent comment on this one: for this particular headline it makes sense to lowercase "teams", since the HN audience will tend to correlate the uppercase version with the incorrect meaning of the headline.
Yeah, ARKB, for example, charges 0.75% management fee. Meaning they charge that every year on total holdings. So the ETF is clearly more expensive than simply holding BTC. I think OP believes this will lead to lower BTC fees due to lower volume.

A turn off from what, exactly? IMO it does a great job of quickly setting the context of what you are looking at before describing why you might care:

> I am still incredulous that someone has thought that yes, this is exactly how an organization should manage its software engineers.

I'm not I have literally heard a software engineer which was since recently responsible for hiring just saying just a few sentences apart:

- oh we shouldn't hire this person they only ever worked for the same company so they must not interested in learning and improving themself

and then

- oh we shouldn't hire that person they have switched companies every 2-3 years so they must be bad at their job and jump companies before they get fired

... wtf

and that person didn't get that opinion due to being crazy or so but from spending ~2 days to read up on what you need to look out for when hiring people, i.e. from other software enginers, software project managers and people which founded startups

the problem is not only is there a lot of nonsense out their there are multiple different conflicting engineering cultures out their each insisting only their way is the right way and convincingly pursuing people why the other way is supposedly terrible. Not few of them also pushing a rather toxic culture or a live style which only work for a singles with workoholic like traits or people which at some point in their live had the luck to get rather wealthy and no assume any software enginer in the world is in their position. It's just shit.

In my project, you can start N workers, each accept(2) thanks to REUSEPORT[_LB] and manages its own epoll/kqueue. When a request is complete, the application's handler is called directly by that worker.

I considered what you're suggesting: having a threadpool to dispatch application handlers on. It's obviously better. But you do have to synchronize a little more, especially if you don't trust the client. While dispatched, the client shouldn't be able to send another request, so you need to remove the READ notification for the socket and then once the response is written, re-add it. Seemed a bit tedious considering I'm hoping to throw it all out when async is re-added as a first class citizen to the language.

The main benefit of my half-baked solution is that a slow or misbehaving connection won't slow (or block!) other connections. Application latency is an issue (since the worker can't processed more requests while the application handler is executing), but at least that's not open to an attack.
