I find this kind of attitude frustrating because it likely discourages people from exercising, when they could benefit a great deal from doing both exercise and caloric restriction.

Exercise is so connected to everything else in life, like mental health and (per the article) metabolism, that the benefits to be reaped from even just walking a few thousand extra steps a day might easily make the difference between sticking to a caloric deficit or exceeding it.

If your friend borrows your car and gets a fine in that time, you can pass the fine on to them. If they don't pay it, you can reconsider your friendship with them and possibly take legal action if it's a large fine.
Oh, the joys of using a language that thinks (automated) copy-and-paste coding is the same as a module system.
At least in relationships that's not the case. Unless you are naturally extroverted or charismatic, if you mess up and haven't figured things out by the time you are in your 30s then you may as well give up. American society just isn't built for finding love outside of school/college.

> Quiet quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary.

It seems a lot of people interpret this is meaning, for example, not working an hour late on occasion.

I got the impression it also means things like, say, you suspect a problem with instructions you were given, but you're not going to bother to investigate or mention it to anyone, since that would be more effort, you just don't care, and your butt is covered if you just follow instructions.

This latter example -- at least speaking up if you notice a problem -- could arguably be considered part of the job. And it avoids conflating the issue with "hourly job" or "work hours" concerns that lead to responses like it's only about "if you want more work, then pay more money".

It's in moments like this that I miss the hacker news magazine[0], because I had relatively high certainty that when stories like this popped up, the poster in question would get interviewed and their story would appear in the next edition.

Not sure who else recalls it? Really appreciated the monthly format as well, I think summarising the last month and going in-depth on specific stories ended up being a good touchstone for what happened in the community.

If anyone is interested in picking up the torch, I for one would be happy to resubscribe to it :)...

Insurance is a fair point I hadn't thought of. I guess there is some link between "full time" vs "part time" and insurance in that sense.

I assume it isn't worth being "part time" and paying for the insurance gap out of pocket. Bargaining power tends not to work that way.

I'm in Australia so this isn't a thing for me.

There’s another video on his channel where he tries to answer why he built it:

https://youtu.be/OSGLrzSuCtM

It sounds like a bunch of little pet projects that could be run on a very small cluster. I think he just has a lot of money to burn on what is essentially a curiosity, where the scale of the system necessitates all of the complexity in it… but it doesn’t actually DO anything of importance besides run. It’s not like he had workloads and needed a setup of that scale. The setup IS the workload.

It’s like the marble machine. The build is for the build’s sake.

Amazon's Primer on Primitives: Redefining Building Blocks for the AI Era
Shareholder letters focus on business performance. However the 2023 Amazon Shareholder Letter introduces or redfines the concept of Primitives, the most foundational-level building blocks for how to build a business. These blocks are indivisible and perform a single function with maximum developer flexibility. The focus on Primitives is so significant that the letter posits that the question should not be how to define a new successful business such as AWS, Prime, or Marketplace, but rather, "What's the next step of primitives?" Amazon aims to lead the way in building the right primitives for Generative AI.

The approach of building services using Primitives has been a key factor in the growth and success of AWS. Conversely, initial failures in healthcare initiatives have been attributed to a lack of adoption of primitives. Primitives are designed to be used together rather than as solutions in and of themselves and are optimized for maximum builder or developer freedom and innovation. The letter emphasizes that the company will not impose constraints on primitives but build them for maximum flexibility.
Invasion implies this was illegal and/or done using force, neither of which is true of the Jews that moved to Palestine.

"Invasion" perhaps isn't the best term to use, as it implies some sort of one-shot military deal. The actual process involved multiple steps of course -- Resolution 181 (imposed by European powers); the additional land gains by 1949 (unequivocally by force); the annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967 (same); and of course the fact that very few people were allowed to return after they were brutally expelled and/or temporarily left during the course of events.

Which after all was said and done, from the perspective of the vast bulk of the pre-1947 inhabitants -- amount to pretty much the same thing.
No, and I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

That sounds horrible. Throwing an npe is almost certainly better than just blithely continuing to process broken state.
This is very important. You can't build software given only knowledge of a domain. You also need requirements.

The classic OOP educational example of `class Dog extends Pet` is a case in point. In what sense is a dog like a pet? The only way to know the answer to that is to look at it through the lens of our requirements. Are we building a vet appointment booking app, or a video game?

Educational examples can be misleading due to lacking real requirements, and lead programmers to reproduce oversimplified structures.

Imagine raises, if they even come, do not keep up with the cost of living, thus employees are paid less year-over-year even if they do get raises. Quiet firing.

It didn't take a pandemic for quiet firing to become the de facto standard. That's just "how business works."

Management-created crises, allegedly to "inspire the troops," may be seen as a form of quiet firing. And not just for the lackluster employees who fail to pitch in, but even for the rank and file whose morale can be impacted.

Creating too many tasks to possibly accomplish, another inspirational management tactic, can sometimes backfire in a similar fashion.
Start slow. First eat what you normally would to feel full, and merely measure it. Use a spreadsheet and the nutrition labels to see how many calories you're getting as well as macro %s. Leave nothing out!

First, start with obvious cuts: alcohol and candy/desserts. You don't need beer or ice cream and you will function better without them.

Then, cut 100 calories a week. Cut from fat and carbs, make sure to keep your protein and fiber up.

Hello! Can I ask you for some random career advice? I am mid-career, in a low-level mgmt position but want to return to being an IC. My team's tech stack is Python and Kotlin, but in my position I don't get to code. I code for fun at home but it gravitates towards Python (as it is highly relevant for doing Deep Learning work). My question is if I ever go into a backend role, what language best lets me get into a deep tech position at a MANG. With Python's limited use in production in MANGS, I don't see how I'll pass the Leetcode coding interviews. I used to do distributed systems a long time ago and really miss it (Did professional work in C,C++, Java, Go and Erlang/Elixir but it has been a while). I have a child now that takes up a lot of time, so I can't invest in getting good (again) in too many languages. I also have generally bad memory (remembering all the functions in std lib in Java or STL in C++ is just impossible anymore). I generally love coding but my algorithms are pretty rusty too. Advice on how to pick a darn tech stack? Thank you.

> That's INSANE that 6 years later the bodies metabolism had not adjusted back!!? Hard to believe!

The paper argues it’s because they continued to have high levels of physical activity, which kept their resting metabolic rate low.

The ones with the highest metabolic adaptations were the ones who kept the most weight off, and were also the most physically active.
So you are saying Ollama is a strong MS acquisition in the future if onnx works out.
Interestingly, i have a similar story.

I created a database publishing platform exactly that time, a was given full control. I created it in Java, and added a JavaScript engine for scripting templates. The initial product was also side in a few months. It also runs to this day. The war file could be run by any Java server.
The code, while old, was in a reasonable state, given some of the migrations.

I never thought about the code being older than the people working on it

I worked at 4 other companies before Google, and Google's source code tooling was the best I'd ever seen and definitely something the rest of the world can work towards.

In particular, it fostered a culture where accepting code changes from outside teams was normal (though obviously not always uncontentious), and prototyping those changes was pretty easy.

I've been using pantsbuild.org since I left and I think it hits a good sweet spot between blaze, which has a lot of overhead, and the rest of the world.
One response to this is issue is a CHECK constraint LENGTH(column) > 0, so you can’t have empty strings.

Rarely do you have a textual database column where the empty-vs-NULL distinction is semantically meaningful in the application domain. Most of the time, either the column value is missing (arguably better represented by NULL) or has a non-blank value. “Present but blank” is rarely meaningful or useful

Sometimes I pair that with (TRIM(column)=column) to prevent leading or trailing whitespace being saved, which also stops all-blank values being saved

This works really well if you have an RDBMS which supports CREATE DOMAIN, so then you can attach these constraints to a user-defined type and don’t have to repeat them for each column, you just set the type of the column to that user-defined type
Microsoft has built an Enterprise business that has too many lock-ins (Active Directory, Office specially Excel), that even if they make many missteps the business will keep pumping money, and makes it easy to sell new products to the same audience (Azure/teams). Enterprise companies run very very long even when they decline (IBM/Oracle).

Google's ad business while printing cash is very brittle. Consumer taste can change any day and can cause Google to suddenly look at some big percentage drop. Ad is still the only moneymaker of the company. All the products you listed above are not making money, most money comes via search ads (which Android surely helps to), and that can go the way of Altavista due to several reasons (people moving to chatbots, iOS changing default or allowing new engines, regulators forcing chrome/android to randomize default).
The current Geneva Convention was in 1949, but the original Geneva Convention dates back to 1864.

I hope the text in the game was spell-checked more thoroughly than that in the promo page.
Amen. You can’t treat employees as disposable things and then complain they aren’t working harder.

I think people are waking up to the reality that money has diminishing returns beyond a certain point. Owning a house, a car and taking vacations can improve your life. But owning a bigger house, more expensive car and luxury vacations gets old very quick (and doesn’t make one more “happy”).

What we’re really craving at that point is a sense of connection with others and a feeling of belonging. Having an external impact. Believing in and contributing to something beyond ourselves. So no amount of excessive self-indulgence/consumption can fill that void.

So people are now willing to trade that extra monetary reward for their time back to do that and more.
The FAA is stuck in the 60's because there is a massive industry supporting the ancient technologies in general aviation.

Modern stuff, like you point out, is far more reliable, cheaper, lower power consumption, and more functional. That better reliability means less need for aircraft mechanics and avionics shops.

Nobody would want their discreet component transponder overhauled if it could be replaced with a cheaper unit that uses modern wizardry like logic chips or even (gasp) a microcontroller.

Ditto for leaded fuel air cooled piston engines with manual mixture controls that require teardowns all the time. That bullshit is only still around because Continental and Lycoming want it to.

> It sounds like you are waiting on a fantasy position that has both interesting work and pays at least the same as your current position, which you have 13 years of experience in. That's not usually how life works. There are trade-offs.

I mean this with all the respect in the world, but no shit. That's what I'm frustrated about. I feel like the entire thing I wrote was specifically because I am aware of these tradeoff. Just because the tradeoffs exist doesn't mean I have to like them.

I know that my dream job doesn't really exist, at least not in numbers large enough to even bother considering, and I'm not naive enough to really think that pivoting to another career will suddenly solve all my problems and frustrations.
I’m not sure what is “prohibitive” about pressing literally one button.

There are some in the "advice-instrustial complex" that give such advice. The Stoics have a technique where you imagine losing all you have, and this creates a feeling of gratitude for what you do have, and prepares you for losing it (as we all must do, in time). The Buddhists say that "Life is suffering".

But yes, this notion that your life is a one-shot, and you may very well outlive the potential for your life to achieve what you wanted, or thought it might, is not common advice. At times mean-spirited people will say that so-and-so celebrity is "over the hill" or "past their prime", but of course this applies (in a good faith way) to us all at some point. When the barb is targeted at someone who's earned a lot and is no longer earning it is less painful and socially acceptable than when targeted at someone who never knew success at all.

Nature is interesting because She seems to play around with lifetime duration quite a lot. Most life is very short lived; they are one-shots. But it doesn't matter because there are so many. But the few, the long-lived, the lives with so many resources behind them, She plays with these too. And honestly it's not clear that they are so successful. They tend to exist at the top of a food chain and accumulate damage over time, requiring sophisticated repair mechanisms. Such creatures are also more sensitive to environmental issues, accumulating poisons much faster than those before them in the food chain. Humans exist in this sensitive, precarious place in the ecosystem and I think we often outlive our usefulness, as evidenced by pre-industrial poor-houses stocked mostly by the old and infirm.

It's great that it's an open standard, but I feel like the MIDI Association is kind of dropping the ball on openness. You have to register with midi.org just to read the specs. That's not a huge hardship, but it's kind of off-putting.

It also feels like corporate behemoths are running the show. You can register as a site user for free and you can buy a SYSEX Id number for $240 a year, but to actually have a say in anything it looks like you need to be a corporate member.

Most of the interesting advances in musical instruments these days seem to be coming from small companies making unusual products. Things like the Osmose, the Linnstrument, the Continuum, and so on. MPE serves that community decently well, but I feel like we could at least in theory do a lot better by ditching the piano-centric assumptions built in to MIDI and hashing out a new protocol as a community effort.
My father showed me how to use a lathe when I was around 14. He warned me to never use it unless he was present. Of course I ignored him. The very first time I used it, my shirt sleeves caught in it and my shirt was ripped from my body in a second. I Never touched it again.

Moral of the story: respect lathes.
I think it’s more about exploiting the gap between the bar for the role and the bar to get fired. Perhaps “ideally” there’s no gap there to exploit. But practically there will be. Moreover, because the bar to fire is usually driven by completely separate mechanisms in an organization, there’s no clear backpressure to force more alignment between the two. So I think it’s less about the respect of an employee or an employer - it’s not that the employees are doing anything wrong - and more what are the systemic consequences of the size of this gap potentially changing and/or employees biasing more towards the ‘not fired’ bar. What happens if everyone swings left? Whose responsibility should it be to manage that and who is actually empowered/incentivized to do so? Who’s at the wheel here?
> The angle of attack is not a parameter of the stall speed, it is the cause of the stall

You're right of course, based on the real definition of angle of attack which is based on relative wind. When people say angle of attack is a parameter of stall speed, they're separating speed from pitch.

This isn't really useful but people seem to struggle with the concept of relative wind, so it's a kind of shorthand.
