Consumer prices are not lower in Finland, although VAT is responsible for a lot of the difference, to be fair. Yeah, sales tax in Finland is 24%. I've been in both places in the last year, cried when I bought my used Toyota here.
Rent indeed is 70% lower, but you lose by having 70% lower rent and 70% lower salary. Besides, median salaries in Finland are 15% of what they are in SF (staff swe at 500k vs 90k). And the tax burden is way lower, even in CA. Finland has a lot going for it, but there's just no point in debating the money part.

The class and jobs that suffered during the Pandy have rebounded and the people who benefiting greatly during it are now taking their haircut.

I was an essential employee during those years and switched to tech so I got the bad with the bad.

Also generational and geopolitical factors play a large factor as well. Inflation will become wage inflation for the next decade. If I were a mega corp I would be trying to retain talent now rather than have to pay even more to get freshers from a smaller and smaller pool.

My mom worked as an ER physician in Pennington Gap, VA during the early years of opioid abuse there (late nineties through through the early oughts) [1]. She would constantly complain about drug seekers there and refused to give out pain meds. According to her, she was the only doctor who would refuse to give out pain meds.

Fast forward to 2022, she needed heart surgery and was in the ICU for three weeks afterward. She never asked for pain meds and regularly refused them when asked. I think she had became so accustomed to denying people pain meds, that she even denied herself, though it was clear she was in pain.

I used iNaturalist website to list 500 most observed plant species in Eastern USA and Canada, and used a script to scrape the species names (scientific and common) and the URL of the title photo.

I used another script to download the images and build the anki deck.

My decks have just the photo on the front, then scientific name + common name + notes on back.

I’ve made many notes in my decks, mostly about the etymology of the scientific names to help remember them.

I’ve also added extra photos to the front to show other parts of the plant needed to distinguish from look-alikes, with notes on these features.

My reference is usually The Flora of Virginia and/or Sam Thayer’s recent field guide (which is a major new contribution through all his field observations).

I have not shared because the photos are mostly ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, but I’ve been considering redoing the photos using CC0/CC-BY (and asking some authors for permission but this is hard as iNat is pseudonymous).

>> So best case scenario net one hour a day every day to eat high quality home cooked meals. That’s 6% of your waking life that’s not available for work, exercise, dating, playing with your kids, calling your parents, reading a book, etc, etc, etc.

For me cooking (generally, making stuff to eat) is a hobby. I don't have kids but that just makes it a little less enjoyable because I don't have a large family to share my cooking with. Otherwise I'm happy for the chance to get away from a screen and have some me-time doing something that satisfies my senses (I especially like adding each spice separately to the pan and taking a biig sniff as it cooks - I'm a food hedonist). In any case I really don't experience it as wasted time. If I'm tired from work or I'm late at home, I just cook something simple or make sure I have left overs.

And it doesn't need to be a hobby. Any way you see it, cooking a good meal is just a great way to care about yourself and your loved ones and make them happy. Uber Eats can't do that.

> The UNIX model won over object approaches.

That's funny interpretation, because what is this mysterious "UNIX model" and what does it have to do with implementation language?

Also, C++ used to be "C with classes", but has outgrown this single-paradigm thing quite quickly. I do a lot of C++, but I rarely use inheritance and virtual methods. These are not the features that make C++ worthwile for me.

> The simplicity of flat memory model, [C], a unified file interface

This "unified file interface" is a nice theoretical idea, and it leaks many nice things to the real world, but has nothing to do with the implementation language - quite contrary, it allows many different languages to communicate. Similar with "flat memory model" - you can have either language in segmented memory and flat memory. There used to be "far pointers" in both C and C++, and now they're gone, so what.

> If C++ were actually better for engineering large systems, GNU wouldn't have had a chance.

Oh, if only it were that way, if only inferior engineering systems would just lose and disappear. The sad truth is that survival of a language proves little about quality.

If you believe C is better than C++, fine by me, just opinions. You can say "C++ is bad because it's more complex" or "has too many features", I can understand that, or "C++ is confusing because you can overload operators". My features are your bugs, okay. But I can't comprehend your actual arguments because they are orthogonal to the choice of language.
I have issues keeping up with large language decks, too. In my case the problem usually lies not with Anki but all the other stuff going on in my life — stressors, work, etc. There’s just a cap on what I can be juggling at any point in time and if things aren’t flowing smoothly it’s going to be more difficult to stick to working through a long deck. If I could just hit pause on everything else there would be no problems.

Retention is high so that helps keep progress between periods of deck usage at least.

Two things can be true at the same time:

1. significantly increased amount of 'life' on earth (as in: total kg of biomass, number of living specimens, total area with some amount of green stuff on it) due to warmer climate.

2. significantly reduced number of extant species on earth due to (geologically) fast changes in climate.

I've lost track of the number of times people would copy/paste who articles and series, posting it on linkedin as their own work. Usually Indians, but the second-most common nationality was Americans.

I used to report it, but it happened often enough that I just gave up.

My site is long-dead now, which tells you how long this has been going on, definitely 10+ years. No doubt now "AI" is commonplace it has gotten easier, but that's nothing new.
I suspect it just boils down to minimising the number tasks staff are responsible for, so you can reduce the number of staff needed. Aircraft need to have attendants for safety reasons, and the minimum number of attendants is dictated by the number of passengers. Most of the time airplanes aren’t in emergency situations, so you’re got lots of spare staff aboard, and you can use them to look after toilets and feed passengers.

Trains on the other don’t have such minimum staffing requirements and usually operate with only one or two staff total (driver plus maybe a ticket inspector). Train operators want to keep staff on train to an absolute minimum (people cost money after all), but those staff still have some safety responsibilities which can’t be removed. Instead you try to remove every other responsibility they might have, such as dealing with toilets.

Automated toilets means the toilets themselves can be responsible for the vast majority of their operations, and can be trusted to fail safe if something unexpected happens. Meaning there’s no need for staff to perform regular inspections while the train is in service, and no need to worry about something going silently wrong and hurting someone. Instead the toilets can ensure that unsafe situations don’t happen, and proactively alert staff if something unsafe does happen.
Huh TIL. I had always considered nginx the “fast” http server.
Just personal anecdote.

I have no medical problems but moved away from the US specifically due to the fear of healthcare costs.

I actually only ever tried to use my insurance once in an emergency, I even called the insurance during the emergency and told them the hospital I was at, and they told me it would be covered, and I ended up having to pay a large portion of my years salary for a broken leg, even though I had full coverage.

Where I am now I’ve never had to wait for anything longer than in the US and I don’t have to live my life in fear of life shattering bills if I get sick or injured.. which is worth its weight in gold.

I think maybe the concept of () vs [] for radio buttons and checkboxes respectively is in part due to the mathematical concept of a bounded number range where the numbers at the end of the range are included inclusively or exclusively. I'm not saying they're the same concept, but that it might have inspired their usage. Just a theory.

> Dynamically-typed languages similarly should be able to choose enum values at runtime in many cases.

I wonder, is choosing random enum values at runtime more secure against Rowhammer than just having fixed values that were chosen randomly once and compiled in, since presumably the attacking code now has no way to know which bits it needs to flip? If so, it might even be desirable to implement this as a "secure enum" in a compiled language.

(Shameless plug at the end)

During my Erasmus in Germany, I've tried almost all of the top language learning apps (Duolingo, Babel, Seedlang, Anki...) and none of them have really worked me.

What I wanted was:

* Learning in context --> A lot of German words do not have direct English/Czech translation, so learning the 1:1 word translation did not work well

* Having audio for each card

* Intensive pace --> Going through a lot of cards in one session. Duolingo is the worst in this as you spend a lot of time doing super easy childish exercises. If I want to learn let's say 30 min a day, I want to pack as much content as I can into it.

* Skipping ahead --> My level is around B1/B2, I don't want to do placement tests and then re-learning the words I already know

* Learning from my content --> I like to consume German podcast/youtube videos/websites and in some apps, it was quite difficult or impossible to add words I've just encountered "in the wild".

Anki has worked the best, but generating cards with sentences and audio was quite cumbersome and (a seemingly minor detail) I was loosing flow while thinking whether I knew the card "well", "good", "easy" or whatever the options are. What I like better is a simple knew/didnt know, while still using spaced-repetition.

So for the past year, I'm on-off working on a language learning app, currently only supports German, which helps you extract words from content (youtube, web, text), handles different word forms, and then generates cards with infinitely many sentence examples through GPT4, with a nice audio (latest GCP model).

Pebble doesn't have an eInk screen either. Garmin Fenix watches use Memory In Pixel displays like the Pebble. This is sometimes called an ePaper display which is where the confusion comes from I think. It doesn't work like eInk but a traditional LCD where each pixel has a bit of memory to allow it to not need to be constantly refreshed. The newer Fenix watches can get pretty insane battery life, especially the solar models, like a month+.

It depends where you live and what the building codes in that area try to address. Here in Tokyo the biggest worries are earthquakes, so my apartment walls usually incorporate wood instead of concrete and the 5GHz signal through my closed door and six layers of rooms only just drops to 2/3 on my phone.

Unfortunately, this also means I'm competing with nearly a hundred different APs in the apartment alone - of which many broadcast in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz - to the point that my Macbook less than a meter away from the router still takes a hot minute to automatically find the AP unless I manually select it.
We shall see, no point trying to guess where we will be in few decades.

One random idea out of ocean of ideas - we might realize with a bit of training our brain will smooth out the difference and we shall be well immersed even with these mild moves.

Maybe 100% immersion is a stupid yardstick, and say 85% is the sweet spot where you feel like you are having tons of fun without actually getting heart attacks. Think about it a bit - action games, shooters etc. put you consistently in situations that would be pure survival. Body goes into fuck-it-all mode where immediate survival is the only goal, side effects are ignored. But if you keep exposing yourself to such experiences regularly without actually having decades of brutal training and experience that real life requires from such a situation, over time you mess up your untrained heart, burn out forever various receptors and fear managing systems in our brains, and you just wreck yourself badly. There is a term 'adrenaline junkies' for a reason, its dependence just like the rest.

Thank you for the math. But I don’t think you really tried to understand my point.

Firstly, the newest solid state batteries (relevant because that is what I was responding about) are 2x the density so that is quite good (8.5x/6.5x). Which is already pretty close. They are also going to get better through iteration likely to 3-5x or so (but let’s ignore that for now).

Secondly, the power train also includes regenerative breaking, reduced weight from transmission, in hub motors (reducing axcel weight), reduced center of gravity allowing better drag profiles, no external coolant systems, no engine oil compartments, no fan belts, etc.

I’m happy for you to keep doing the math, but the reality is XXX km or miles per “full tank” is the best measurement because it takes all those factors into consideration.
