For young people just starting in life, money may be a gating Factor or at least it was when you had to buy vinyl. but as you get older, the resource you most worry about is time. Watching a 2-hour movie that you don't like is 2 hours gone from the rest of your life, which is a greater percentage than it is for young people.

In my early years I was obsessed with music and listen to all different kinds to try to expand my sphere of Appreciation. but now, I worry that I might spend a lot of time and then find that I don't really enjoy that artist, and the investment of time was not worth it.

Sure, but you can teach yourself Go in a couple of days, likely having running code from the get go. I think with Rust you will have more frustrating interactions with mr. compiler in the beginning.
The Onion was great back when their Youtube channel created real videos. Now it's a mild chuckle every few months
The thing is Wii and Kinect already tried that stuff 15 years ago and although they were fun novelties at first, neither really changed the industry in the long term.

It's no surprise to me that the most popular VR game is a rhythm game, because the latest hype cycle of VR is following the same trajectory as "novelty input device" arcade games whose most lasting hits were rhythm games too.

It seems that the group of people who a) are interested in physically moving their body around in their spare time, and b) prefer indoor environments to outdoor ones, and c) prefer virtualized spaces to physical spaces, and d) prefer the privacy of their own home to third places, and e) also have a home big enough to dedicate space to this hobby... is a relatively small group with a rather specific taste in games.

A much larger group of gamers already has an exhausting physical job, or a preexisting workout schedule, or prefers to go hiking in the woods, and so when they get back to their home to game they just want to plop down and zone out.
So let's assume something like $25k for first job. That would be $200k now after the 8x. Poverty line in SF right now is $82k, so depending on where you live, $200k isn't that much.
Yeah, intuitively I doubt that these will work the way they’re supposed to because well you’re trying to reinvent the joint. It’s true that the tools are different but I think there has been a steep decline in general joint know-how, so being able to innovate joints would require catching back up to where we used to be to decide if it’s worth it. Tbf if anyone could do it it would probably be Germany.
I'm writing from 4G, the same that I use to work remotely as a software engineer. It's not even a dedicated 'home internet' solution, just an unlimited data plan that I use with a decent modem/antenna.

(Yes obviously latency is worse than fibre, I would probably hate it if I was still into FPS gaming etc., but in practice it's fine.)

(When I set it up it was better and cheaper than the copper options, fibre not available. Fibre or Starlink would now probably be better, but still each much more expensive, even ignoring one-time costs. I don't need it/not worth it. Idk about latency but I could certainly get more bandwidth out of one-time costs on LTE too.)

That's commonly repeated but it's misleading for at least two reasons.

Firstly, employee-related shrinkage includes inventory control and accounting errors ("paper shrink") in addition to employee theft. These are often added together to differentiate them from external theft, but they're not the same and the mitigations for each are as different from each other as they are from external theft.

Second, and relevant to the GPs point, there is variation in the amount and proportions of shrink from one site to another across a chain. The stores that get closed are the outliers, not the average stores. e.g. Your chain wide average shrink is 2%, but all of your stores in this one market are 10% for several years running. Realistically, the difference is almost entirely from external theft.
> invasive legislation that could eventually be used to control what ISPs can show us

> have white sub-groups like Irish or Italian

Right, but are those sub-groups still all that relevant in the context of race in America?

It's been a long time since Irish-Americans have been treated differently than British-Americans, for example.

I would say grouping all white sub-groups together makes as much sense as grouping all black or Asian sub-groups together because generally racial dynamics today are viewed as occurring between White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American groups. Further granularity is rarely considered in informal language.

I have a few ideas.

Sometimes when you reset an email account password it will tell you a part of the recovery email if there is one. This could be a clue.

Send an email to one of the emails used by the perpetrator while in a meeting and see if any of your staff reacts.

If you have access to the routers, compare device names of people logged on while the emails are sent out (if they’re sending in the building).

Are any of your staff using protonmail as their main email provider? Search slack for any discussion or snippets with proton emails.

Does downloading the parent email list cause a log to trigger?

While in a meeting speak as normal and then when you mention something that is slightly gossipy, observe whose eyes widen or body language changes.

Simply speak to your staff and determine whether they are happy in their positions. This is good practice anyway.

Don’t be obvious.

I believe a side effect of the way the legislation was written included that if they weren't neutral, then they couldn't do business with the State of California either or anything the state runs, like pension plans.

In Metcalfe and Boggs (1976) https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/360248.360253 they say the max frame size of 3 Mbit/s PARC Ethernet was about 4000 bits, big enough for one Xerox Alto disk sector.

The 1500 byte frame size was introduced with 10 Mbit/s DIX Ethernet. PARC Ethernet had 8 bit terminal addresses whereas DIX Ethernet introduced 48 bit MAC addresses.

In the US, it was only required in 1952 (due to the aforementioned law passed in 1947), and there was very little experience with it before then. By 1947, it was clear that diesel was going to replace steam due to steam's significantly higher maintenance costs (and the lack of MU). If you're running a mainline railroad in 1947, you already know that you're gonna be replacing almost all your steam locomotives within the next 10 years, so why bother upgrading them?

Ultimately, you have to try things out and see what affects your subjective experience. You will know by direct experience what is transforming your experience.

If something doesn't work, throw it out.

There are a lot of different ways of meditating, because the brain is complex enough that every person has different predispositions. But ultimately meditation begins by watching your mind so that you can know how it behaves and then testing different things to see how the behavior changes.

But I do like CBT and agree is has the strength you're talking about; it has the rigorousness of scientific research behind it, so its solutions tend to be applicable for larger categories of people.

Science usually throws out anomalies where something only works or doesn't work for a few individuals.

Channels and `async/await` are orthogonal. Channels are a way of communicating and coordinating between concurrent tasks; `async/await` are an alternative to blocking function calls (or an alternative form of blocking function calls, perhaps). There are implementations of channels for environments with `async/await`, where you would use syntax like `value = await channel.receive()`.

What you may be getting at is that in an environment like Node.js, where everything runs in a single OS thread and there is no parallelism, there's a reduced need for coordination features like channels (or mutexes), because it's safe to mutate shared memory. But that too is orthogonal to `async/await`: the Python library gevent, for example, uses ordinary blocking function calls while running concurrent code in a single OS thread, making it safe to mutate shared memory; and conversely, C# allows `async/await` to be executed across multiple OS threads, making it unsafe to mutate shared memory.
I took two years off during a job transition in 2010. I’ve been dreaming about it since.

> No Abstractions here really means "just use terms from the underlying system"

Which sounds a bit like Domain Driven Design, although the "underlying system" in this case may be a bit too implementation-centered to be considered a real business domain.

To expand on that a bit: In DDD you generally defer to the names and conceptual-models the business-domain has already created. Trying to introduce your own "improved" [0] model or terms creates friction/miscommunications, adds opportunities for integration bugs, and ignores decades or even centuries of battle-tested specialized knowledge.

This kind of response is a common issue .NET has to deal with. C# is not Java, I wish it was tongue in cheek but I keep having to seriously respond to these, as unfortunate as it is.

First OSS version of .NET was released 8 years ago.

Java is much higher level and much more OOP focused language than C# of today, which is multi-paradigm and exposes a lot of low-level features when needed, and is implemented under the hood way closer to the likes of C++ and Rust.

The difference in quality is dependent on the context. If a company is a pure Java shop that lives and breathes Apache projects - sure. Not so much or opposite otherwise.

Absolute wealth has little effect on people's behavior. Relative wealth is more important. Wealth relative to the people around you, and wealth relative to your expectations.

The average person in their 50s or 60s financially better off than the average person in their 20s or 30s. The average young person can reasonably expect to be wealthier 30 years from now. Therefore many young people feel poor, and they feel they need to be in a better financial position before they can seriously consider having a family.

I think the rise of the middle class had a huge impact on birth rates. Ordinary people were no longer living from paycheck to paycheck. Instead, they were capable of building wealth over time. That made young people poor, both relative to the average person and relative to their expectations. And many started seeing family a luxury they could not afford yet.
Terra's stablecoin wasn't so much a scam as it was built on a house of cards. They backed it with their own coin and a dynamic mint/burn algorithm, basing it all on the assumption that they'd never have that kind of crisis. In the end tho they did and it became a feedback loop.

Circle's treasury is (iirc) 1:1 with USD and T-Bills. If those fail the way Luna did then there are bigger things to worry about.
I am not sure where that would come from. There is nothing about dsa that means this.

Dsa is one of many patterning assist technologies, just...an old one. Neat, but not 'new'. You use patterning assist to make smaller, more regular features, which is exactly what the 16a vs 18a refers to.

That has somewhat less to do with performance, which is tied as much to material, stress, and interface parameters. Nothing gets better from being smaller in the post dennard scaling era, the work of integration is making better devices anyway.

Patterning choices imply different consequences. For example,.a.double euv integration can take advantage of spacer assists to reduce ler and actually improve cdu even with a double expose. Selective etch can improve bias, spacer trickery can create uniquely small regular features that cannot be done with single patterns. Conversely, overlay trees get bushier, and via CD variance can cause horrific electrical variance. It is complicated, history dependent, and everything is on the developmental edge.
> there is no real pressure connected between the SLA and their true performance

I'm not sure I understand this. Regardless of the refund, if a provider cuts enough corners with SLAs, won't the customers eventually raise a stink about it and make use of the (thankfully robust) competition? Plus there's the support overhead of tracking the performance and issuing the refund, which might exceed the cost of the refund itself.

I think to most people an SLA is an indicator that a company is serious about this aspect of the product's performance. Serious enough to write it into long term contracts and align its incentives to fulfill it.
