Strangely, I've had perishable medicine delivered to me (a biologic injection) for two years without a single hiccup by FedEx. They have been the most consistently reliable delivery service where I live (though the post office is pretty good too). My house is at the bottom of a hill that is difficult for rear wheel drive vehicles in winter.

UPS, on the other hand, can go pound sand. They often refuse to deliver due to weather, then force me to either drive two hours round trip to their distribution center, or charge me to pick it up at the local UPS store.

When when FedEx couldn't get their truck to my house due to road conditions, they were totally fine with my picking it up at their store.
> Programming now for 30 years and it's a breeze to pick up new frameworks and ideas.

All things being relative, frameworks are lower on the tier list in terms of contributing to the (albeit nebulous) problem. The failure of programmer productivity can be boiled down to being a people problem, though there's individual facets of that problem that need addressing specifically.

> I do see a lot of struggling developers who are only in it for the paycheck

No offense, but how do you know this? It seems like you're assuming other peoples' thoughts and intentions.

And how much does it actually matter? There's nothing wrong with having a job for the purpose of getting paid. It's not possible for everyone to be a 10x developer, and developers who don't live/eat/breathe code bring their own form of value to their job that isn't necessarily there for rockstar programmers.

> who learnt their Java only skills 20 years ago who wonder why it doesn't get any easier...

The struggle to adapt is indeed a valid point that you bring up. If someone can't adapt, they're going to introduce friction into the process.

There's another side to the coin as well.

Programmers today are expected to adapt way more frequently every passing year. We may be reaching a breaking point where programmers can't justify in their minds the onslaught of changing expectations before them.

Although AI is a beast of its own, I think it's the most prescient example of this. When I was a kid, I dreamed of working on artificial intelligence. Today, on top of the frequent changes in the web development world, if I were to invest my time into AI, well, it would be a black hole upon the rest of my life. When doing the cost-benefit analysis, it's extremely hard to justify investing time in anything because, deep down, we all know that an AI tool will not be relevant in a few short years. Hell, some things become irrelevant within months.

But life is short, and we only have one of them. Not everything is about code. The idea of software was to make our lives better, not for our lives to make the code better.

Maybe all of this tech is coming at too great a cost to our souls.

Wisconsin Assembly backs buildout of statewide electric vehicle charging network
Think about time invested in the purchase of an automobile or a house, relative to the cash outlay. Consider how one can get information and predictability around that purchase, as well as the known knowns and unknown unknowns.

For a new job from the individual's point of view, think of the life-event risk they're taking on by betting on this new firm.

From the firm point of view, particularly for smaller firms (1 - 50), think of the return on equity and opportunity cost.

Finally, think about the time spent dating before people move in together, not even get married.

On a time per commitment cost / risk-adjusted basis, extensive job interviews may still be underinvesting.

All that said, a majority of candidates can be filtered out within 15 minutes. As could, if you care, a majority of workplaces.

Uhm, no.

You don't need to register to allow 911 calls. You 'register' (it's not a regular registration) at the moment you are placing the actual 911/112 call. At least that was in 2G/3G networks, doubt it changed.

There is always some amount of terminals without SIM or without working SIM, there is no need for them to bang every available network in the vicinity just in case there could be an emergency call.

I was late to this game of "going backwards" to improve my memory and understanding of what I read and wrote. Being raised by two technologically forward engineers, we jumped on the palm-pilot/laptops/tablets/phones/e-readers bandwagon very early.

5 years ago I started turning back to calligraphy, fountain pens, and hand writing. I buy books and fill up my bookshelf. It wasn't just for the memory recall, it was the pleasantness of writing.

I can't begin to tell you just how wonderful it is to write with a nice fountain pen. This was the culmination of writing instruments prior to the bastardization caused by modern cheap pens/pencils. I heartily recommend folks pick up an affordable Parker pen or similar and try it. It's also a great stress reliever to just free form thoughts onto a page, and you'll remember what your wrote later in the day!

One other bonus, your handwriting improves. I had to fill out some government forms recently. The online forms were cutting off any addresses longer than 24 characters, so I filled it out by hand. Went into the offices to submit and after the clerk saw my papers they went, "oh my goodness, you have incredible handwriting!"

Besides the learning, recall, etc, there are so many side benefits. Read and write physically y'all!

I've used square wave UPSs on my PCs for as long as I can remember with power supplies from varying manufacturers, I have never had a problem.

There's absolutely no way it reduces search time. A* is trivial to run per timestep. The time must be thousands to maybe hundreds of thousands of times slower.

I publish in this area and this is a common thing for reviewers to bring up when authors don't report wall clock time. And then for papers to be rejected. What's the value in making an algorithm that's drastically slower? Not much.

A slight addendum from another German: we have the adjective "händeringend", which is the verbatim translation of "hand wringing-ly". It's usually not used in a negative, scheming connotation, though - if you look/search for something "händeringend", your are desperately looking for that something.

The actual act of wringing your hands is associated with generic Bond villains, though.

Language is weird.

> The genius idea IMHO was the business model- If you were into certain things you wanted to keep private from most but only wanted to disclose to other people who were into those same things, you could pay a fee

> The only issue is everyone holding their phone up in front of their faces.

No, the genius idea is its major issue, just by paying you gain access to private data (people's preferences) without any kind of chain of trust to make sure that someone is actually part of the group ("market" in your terms) for which they want access to.

By paying you could know that someone around you is looking for cocaine, or is willing to sell sexual services, or is looking to match other people from the same gender, or holds a certain political view against an authoritarian government, etc.

I did a deep dive into this when buying a UPS last year, and ended up with a sine wave ups. But just now I couldn't find my sources for why I made that choice. I believe it was something to do with the new ATX 3.0 PSU standard.

I did find this older thread[1], but the answer is more of a "maybe if your PC or server is using an active PFC PSU." However, this is out of date (2015), and may no longer be correct.

Cyberpower's website says PSU with active PFC require pure sine wave.[2] But that might be marketing. IDK, seems like it something that may need to be tested to be sure.

Maybe Tinder and some of its competitors will all self-destruct in that way, or retreat into being a kind of lowbrow spamware network for loners. But if so, there will still be a market demand from people who want to meet other humans to reproduce with, and other companies (both existing and new ones) will create new offerings to serve those people. The idea that ‘game theory guarantees’ that everything just turns to shit (which seems to be your view) is evidently wrong. Parts of the economy sometimes self-destruct in that way, but when they do, they leave fertile ground for new things to emerge.

That's neat, I wonder what the overhead is though.
Look for used enterprise-grade or at least higher-end office grade equipment on eBay and other surplus marketplaces, and install new batteries. Cyberpower is a good brand in my experience.

The only advantage to buying new is weight. Newer UPSes tend to be a lot lighter, but that's often because they cut corners on the magnetics and/or use expensive, hard-to-replace lithium batteries. Weight is a high priority for the manufacturer to optimize, but not for the consumer. When it comes to UPSes, old school big-iron transformers and heavy-metal batteries are the way to go IMO.
Reading the comments here, I am having a total Slashdot throwback moment. Did anybody actually read TFA?

Divorce rates were skyrocketing before online dating became mainstream, so I'd challenge your statement that meeting IRL "build(s) lasting relationships while living a fulfilling life".

The truth is most people are meeting their spouses in the apps, as painful as it is. Bars are far worse for most people, and many people don't want to get hit on at the gym, while running errands, or at their job.
Any links for additional reading?

I think it's very likely the "culture war" is a distraction tactic so corporations and the ultra-wealthy can hide behind the real issues that divide us: they own the world and the levers of control while the rest of us work ourselves into the grave.
Wokeness or being woke originally simply meant "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Very few people disagree with this because being alert does not say anything about how much prejudice exists. Two people can considers themselves woke by that definition and have radical different perceptions of prejudice.

The disagreement always comes when it comes to actually implementing solutions to the racial prejudice and discrimination.

Anecdata: I've noticed a huge range in the way people are affected by chronic weed smoking.

It seems like most people tend to become more content with their current situation and happy to enjoy the moment. This seems make most people less motivated, maybe because they have less problem with how things are.

But there are outliers: I've met a few folks over the years who are voracious weed smokers, and have an outrageously productive output.

I'm not sure if it's because people are simply wired different, or if these latter camp just figured out how to use weed really well.
OpenAI is also basically in the "selling shovels" business. In their case the shovel is an LLM. It's up to their customers to find something profitable to do with it.

This being Germany, I expect to have to spend weeks joining the waiting lists of overbooked clubs, hoping that one of them has a free slot. Then more forms, sent by post because email is evil, then finally I can buy weed 3 months down the road.

If you live in Germany for a while, you learn that you never get anything without a fight here. It's always tedious.
It only takes one person at an ISP to steal and leak the data. I mean, an IRS employee leaked the president's tax returns and is currently in federal prison for it. I imagine the stakes are much lower for just stealing some IP address assignment data from an ISP archive(if such an archive exists).

I think I need to actually read the studies for this, because this has been completely contrary to my personal experience on this. I'd like to see how they're controlling their variables.

I cannot read my own handwriting anymore, so I almost never write anything by hand now, but when I was in college the first time I took notes by hand in a notebook, and later moved to typing on a laptop. I don't feel like I retained appreciably less information when I was writing by hand, BUT I did have the ability read my notes later, in addition to being able to search and index them easily. Additionally, I type a lot faster than I can write by hand so I was able to write down more detailed notes during lectures.

Now, obviously, college-age Tombert was 18-20, not a young child, but I still do school, and I still pretty much exclusively type my notes. I've found that the utility of using Obsidian to be able to try and figure out ways in which things are connected is just as valuable to me.

I'm not a complete idiot; it's possible that I'm actually not learning as well, but I really have no desire to go back to physical notes.

ETA:

I would like to point out, I've always resisted the urge to simply transcribe what the instructor is saying. I always try and summarize/break-into-bullets, because I feel like the summarization is part of the learning process; reading the article it looks like a lot of people typing notes are just larping as stenographers, which I would agree is a terrible way to actually learn.
