Not to the day, but you can estimate a range based on experience. After that deployment issue you may add "release could be delayed by up to a week" to future estimates until you're sure it's fixed.

I've written TV apps and in that world I've often given estimates that are 5 days of actual work but, because Samsung's QA process can take 6 weeks and spurious rejections are common, "deployment" will often take literally months.

Time to release and time for development can be totally different things and it's arguable whether "waiting" time should be included in any individual estimate at all. (You're adding 4 separate features and doing 2 bugfixes in one release, which one gets +2 months? In reality "submit/release" becomes a different ticket/task.)

Yeah, I know a few white collar workers bartending or in a kitchen, one weekday night or so, but they had a lot of experience with the service industry before they got a white collar job, and worked in lower paying business side and non tech engineering jobs where the extra money was a little more appreciated, if not their main reason for being there. (The bartender wanted “forced” socialization and the cook was a food enthusiast who wanted to keep his skills sharp). I’m not saying a “techie” wouldn’t or couldn’t do it, but if they’ve never done it before they don’t know if they’re the type of person who would be burnt out by it or rejuvenated.
I've heard the same thing, but for cycling. However I wonder if that is not mostly for people who train much more than a normal person, like a pro or your ultra marathon friends.

I understood the idea was that by running / cycling mostly in zone 2, you can put in more distance / time as you can recover more easily. It would not be possible to bike 30 hours in a week in zone 3, you would trash yourself.

But for someone like me, biking like 6-8 hours a week, I could easily do a lot of higher intensity, recovery time is not a bottleneck, other obligations in life are. So I really wonder if that still applies if you're only running / biking a few hours per week?

> I think there were a lot of problems, but most of them boil down to "heavy-handed government intervention in the markets".

The Fed was very hands off in the early 1930s:

> […] At the onset of the Great Depression in 1929–1930, the Fed maintained a “hands-off” approach, believing the economy simply needed to “wring out its excesses.” This is somewhat ironic in that Fed policy itself greatly contributed to the financial excesses of the 1920s. Nevertheless, the Fed failed to recognize the nature of the economy.

> When the Great Depression hit in 1929, the Fed’s instinct was to do little and let the economy and markets correct. But the Fed seemed to have no sense of how big the credit bubble from the 1920s was. Consequently, from 1929–1933, the Fed remained committed to a tight monetary policy. Under the gold standard then in force, when the gold balances held by the government contracted, the money supply did so as well. Faced with the increasing economic turmoil, US businesses and the public at large trusted gold more than paper currency. Overseas investors, fearing a potential devaluation of the dollar, preferred gold too. This created a gold drain. As the Fed’s gold stocks declined, the United States unwittingly reduced credit in the economy. Over the 1929–1933 period, the US money supply contracted sharply, declining by roughly one third between 1929 and 1933, and the country experienced its worst ever downturn, with unemployment soaring to roughly 25%.

It was the interventionist policies of new New Deal and its various spending and jobs programs that helped the recovery begin. As well as getting off the gold standard:

IMHO the (US) financial system has been much more stable with more of a government / Fed hands-on approach.

Certainly there were crashes (1987) and bubbles (1999), but that was more on the private sector side. At least one problem was due to not enough oversight:

At big companies I get extremely depressed in a corporate hell scape mostly surrounded by people that have maintained sanity by dissociating from the job and collecting a paycheck.

> And try to not let my groin fall asleep.

I was "forced" into biking a few years ago (had an injury that prevented running) and had the same problem with the groin. I thought it was a natural thing with biking, but it can actually be quite bad for you in the long run, and it's very fixable! Sitting position and saddle makes a huge difference. Ofc position is the cheaper thing to fix, but saddle is easier.

Go to a bike shop and explain the problem and they'll help you find a saddle that fits you, don't go on with getting your groin numbed.

I like coding and don't feel like burn out yet.

But it's great to have other passions outside of it. To get away from your main occupation. To reset and to get a perspective.

And woodworks seems like a good choice. You're still making things, physical ones and you can hone your skill.

I've made a handful of things in my life (e.g. two simple custom beds for my home) without any prior knowledge of wood working at all. They weren't great, but good enough. And I couldn't have been prouder.

So thanks for sharing your story. I might get back to tinkering in my garage more often!
Seems likely it’s an off-by-one error deeper in the code, and they decided to just work around it?

Not OP, but I had a boss who specifically bought ambidextrous mice and would switch hands every hour (or so).
I’ve been doing ultra marathons now for over a decade and the key is slow. Walk a lot at first if you have to. Some key resources getting started are Jeff Galloway and his run walk method. Once you build up to mostly running just mix in a few “strides” a week: pick two workouts and run 5x 30s at a “not quite sprint” speed. That’s it. Anything else you mix in (tempo, intervals, progressions, blah blah blah) is the last 10% and completely optional.

Your zone 2 speed will change over time. I do most of my training in zone 1 now, and that’s like a 9 minute per mile pace. When I started more than 15 years ago a 9 minute mile felt like death. Patience. This takes a lot of time.
Honestly I think the difference is that there is a higher rate of self employment/small business ownership. The more legal burden placed on hiring and firing the more you fuck over small operations and give advantage to larger ones.

I think this may at least partially explain the attitude of americans. Less of an us vs them mentality cause many lowly workers ARE senior management of their own gig.
Too many hallucinations because changes in fast changing libraries. It makes up functions that were removed and libraries that have been deprecated. With robust stuff that doesn’t happen. It is frustrating. Even copilot regularly includes some react lib that doesn’t work anymore for the past 3 years because it depended on old stuff that is full of security issues, bugs or doesn’t work on a new node etc etc. So then I spend more time on finding what is the newest (greatest … cough) thing to replace it than I would have done just searching google.

Is Stephen Wolfram a Narcissist?
I have read many reports of people saying that Steohen Wolfram is a narcissist and full of himself. But these are usually from many years ago (when he published A New Kind Of Science) and from people that have had almost no direct contact with him.

However, I have seen also other people who have interacted with him directly (in summer schools, in Wolfram research, in discussions...) say that he is actually more down to earth and doesn't have a problem recognising when he has no knowledge about something... Besides, he has collaborated with a large team in developing his Physics Project and I can see that within their team, the members can express different opinions, even some that are contradictory to some of his claims. This makes me think that if he was really a narcissist, anyone with a different opinion than his would be expelled from the team or his "community". But these are only speculations.

So, can people who have interacted with him confirm whether he is a narcissist or not?
Building a (Mini) 3D Flutter Game Engine – Part 1
This line from the article may be one of the saddest descriptions of modern "success" I've ever read:

"When you’ve been conditioned to believe rightly or wrongly that your value as a human being is derived from the economic value you provide to those around you and all barriers to producing work have been removed by an unprecedented upheaval to social norms, it felt like there was only one path forward and that was working as hard as possible every day."
I suspect neither the founders nor the framers thought pornography would be an issue. (Probably because prostitution was wide spread so why would pornography not be allowed)

Have you see a Greek statue? Those well pre-date them. Pretty much the second a medium is invented it's used for porn and some of these mediums like engraving or even taking pictures are pretty old.

Stanley v Georgia is from 1969 [1] which is more than 110 years after pictures [2]. Seems like porn being allowed was pretty settled regardless of if it was because of the 1st amendment or not.

So do you regularly hard code the number 10 in your code?

I think you missed my point.

In realistic code you'd be using string interpolation to put the number 10 into this query language, and worrying about injection vulnerabilities while you did it.

Or even calling another arbitrary function to do the filtering. Which this query language can't handle at all.
At least there is some honesty there. Everywhere that does estimates, even if they make the devs think its complexity or some other nonsense, is translating that to days somewhere down the line.

Millennium Challenge: Real Story of a Corrupted Military Exercise and Its Legacy
> At the start of MC ’02, to fulfill the forced-entry requirement, blue issued red an eight-point ultimatum, of which the final point was surrender. Red team leader Van Riper knew his country’s political leadership could not accept this, which he believed would lead the blue forces to directly intervene. Since the George W. Bush administration had recently announced the “preemption doctrine,” Van Riper decided that as soon as a U.S. Navy carrier battle group steamed into the Gulf, he would “preempt the preemptors” and strike first. Once U.S. forces were within range, Van Riper’s forces unleashed a barrage of missiles from ground-based launchers, commercial ships, and planes flying low and without radio communications to reduce their radar signature. Simultaneously, swarms of speedboats loaded with explosives launched kamikaze attacks. The carrier battle group’s Aegis radar system — which tracks and attempts to intercept incoming missiles — was quickly overwhelmed, and 19 U.S. ships were sunk, including the carrier, several cruisers, and five amphibious ships. “The whole thing was over in five, maybe ten minutes,” Van Riper said.

> The red team had struck a devastating blow against the blue team. The impact of the OPFOR’s ability to render a U.S. carrier battle group — the centerpiece of the U.S. Navy — militarily worthless stunned most of the MC ’02 participants. Van Riper described the mood as “an eerie silence. Like people didn’t really know what to do next.” Blue team leader Bell admitted that the OPFOR had “sunk my damn navy,” and had inflicted “an extremely high rate of attrition, and a disaster, from which we all learned a great lesson.”

The NSFW Image Moderation API delivers a robust solution for analyzing and classifying images with accuracy. Utilizing advanced AI technology, this API scrutinizes images to assess their appropriateness for public or professional settings. The algorithm sorts images into two categories based on content: NSFW or SFW.

When the API identifies potentially offensive or inappropriate material, it offers a confidence level, expressed as a percentage, indicating how likely the content is NSFW. This feature helps users quickly determine whether the image aligns with their community standards or is suitable for public display.

On the other hand, if the algorithm doesn't detect inappropriate content, the API affirms that the image likely adheres to guidelines concerning sexual or similar material. It also provides a confidence percentage, giving users assurance about the image's suitability.

The NSFW Image Moderation API is an essential tool for businesses and platforms aiming to uphold a secure and appropriate digital environment.
