Not just more than one employer, but some healthy number of available options.

You thought A is great but you think you can find better so you go to B. They turned out worse, you then tried C and those weren't great either. But now A won't hire you back because they already filled the position, and there are no other available companies doing the thing you want to do. Now you're stuck with inferior employment options compared to the choice of not changing jobs in the first place, unless you're willing to do something else entirely or start your own business.

Depends on the field obviously, but there are reasons why people might want to stick with a not-so-bad job instead of looking for a perfect one.
Is it possible for the rust compiler to statically determine if two memory regions will overlap at compile-time, especially with complex pointer arithmetic or when pointers are passed as function arguments? It would be super impressive if so.
There is a very large and prominent movement that is trying to separate biological sex (male vs. female) from cultural gender ("man" vs. "woman"). Assuming someone sympathizes with that movement, what noun should they use to refer to someone of the female biological sex, and anyway what's wrong with "female"?

Skia is available for JS/WASM called “CanvasKit”, see https://skia.org/docs/user/modules/canvaskit/

It has text shaping & editing (might have helped OP) and can play back Lottie animations

It is developed by Google in part for Flutter, which uses CanvasKit by default when you compile Flutter apps for web.

Note that Mondragon is not a socialist enterprise. It's not obvious to me whether you're saying it is, but I think one of the interesting things about Mondragon is that it's somewhere in between the socialist-capitalist dichotomy. If you came along and said "good news, the state is in charge of all your businesses now" they would not consider their mission accomplished.

> Why don't workers unite to democratically manage production?

Because the majority of workers are doing the minimum amount of work to get by, because ~50% of workers are below average intelligence, because those with the entrepreneurial skill and/or business management competence necessary to make this happen benefit more from the current system and have less motivation to mess with it.

We probably need superconductors for that.
> What is remarkable about RW's analysis is the runaway success of the planned economy that catapulted post war Japan to a position of economic power before the changed were forced on Japan's policy makers.

Not really.

There were similar works barely 20 years before Werner about the role MITI played in the Japanese miracle and how the US should emulate it (Chalmer Johnson's "MITI and the Japanese Miracle" played a significant role in seeding what became the CHIPS and IRA, as it was required reading in 80s and 90s era policy circles)

Werner's major contribution was his argument that the policies he ended up coining as QE could have resolved Japan's malaise in the 90s (and he absolutely was correct looking at Abe-era Japan's performance compared to before).

And Japan's planned economy is overstated, as Seong-ik Oh's
recently published "Overseas Energy Investment of Korea and Japan" investigates
> If the electron starts with zero energy at infinity...it will become bound to the proton

Even if that's true (I'm not sure it always is--see below), that case is extremely rare. A much more common case is Bremsstrahlung, which you mentioned upthread--and as the Wikipedia article you referenced notes, the electron in this process starts out free and remains free after the radiation is emitted; it does not become bound to the proton.

> My reading of phkahler's original statement is that the electron will wind up going faster than the speed of light (which is incorrect, due to gamma) due to falling down the potential well, and not due to having non-zero kinetic energy at infinity...

That may have been the original intent, yes (and, as you note, it's wrong because it neglects the gamma factor). However, even in that case, what matters is not the electron's energy at infinity in the proton's rest frame, but its energy in the center of mass frame. If the electron is really falling in from far enough away that the relativistic gamma factor is relevant, which is what was implied by pkahler's original statement, then its energy in the center of mass frame (or more precisely the center of momentum frame, since in relativity you have to take momentum and energy into account) will be relativistic, i.e., large enough that it's by no means guaranteed that it will emit enough energy in radiation to become bound to the proton.

I think you and I are on the same page, the point of a limited list of tasks is... to have a limited list of tasks. : )

“Lorenzo estimates that the president of Mondragon is the highest-paid position (level 6) with a salary of around €200,000. Managers and directors earn between €80,000 and €120,000.”
Your experience, I do not doubt. However, I believe you misrepresent what the authors are claiming. They do not claim that constraints are new, rather that setting all the constraints manually can be tedious, and tools that intelligently select sets of constraint options can be useful at the practical level.

Does ANYONE know of reference for this? It seemed so bizarre I had to look it up but couldn't see anything obvious.
That’s like asking which way a Necker cube is oriented. It’s both and neither. For blue and green, there’s a range of shades for which that ambiguity is true and you can “flip” it in your mind.

I would actually find it more practical to determine the thresholds on both sides where I find it to become ambiguous.

The bandwidth and storage is an absolute rounding error at apple’s scale. If they want to use that as an excuse, then charge app makers cost for downloads. I can promise you it’ll never come close to 30%.
Settings > Accessibility > Slow Keys on MacOS. Turn that on and set the delay to maximum. Now, presumably there's a number that annoys you, and even though you spend most of your time switching between apps it will annoy you when you write. So if you get annoyed there, you must imagine that there is some bell curve of reaction speed. Absent any information, it's worthwhile to imagine you at the center, a pretty median slow guy. In that universe, there is some guy who will be three standard deviations faster. Just like you were annoyed when Slow Keys was on, he's annoyed when he's in the usual mode.
Bigger picture: I don't understand why MSFT would want to compete in what's ultimate a low-margin, commodity business that many others have exited. Are these loss-leaders not of sufficient quality, availability, or to their liking and so they need to have a choice available to push the software stack?
Thank you for having the courage to share this story. The only time I've heard voices was also from LSD and I remain convinced that the voice was a higher power, regardless of if I choose to label that god.

The world is not as the scientific rational model would have one believe. These substances show that indigenous cultures are thousands of years ahead of western society when it comes to understanding consciousness.

For anyone on the outside reading this; I can recommend The BBC's LSD The Beyond Within as a starting point.

I’ve had the same thoughts lately, I think AI has made software lose its “magic” for me.
That and the stress of delivery.

Here’s what I did: I switched from 5 day weeks to 4 day 32 hour weeks. That has helped immensely. So you could consider that, or even a partial career break.

If you do want to quit cold turkey, heres some roles you could transition into in the same ballpark:

- DevOps

- Tester

- Firmware/embedded Engineer

- Technical Writer

- Data Engineer

- Data Scientist

- Statistician

- Business Analyst

- CAD architect

- Startup founder (easier than you think to start a startup and get funding)

Things I’ve considered that play well with a software mindset but require re-skilling

- Electrical Engineer

- Electrician

- Carpenter

- Gardener

- Farmer

- Welder

- Barista

What reasons have you found that make you want to stop being a Software Engineer?

Can you explain this more? As I understand, after equity IPO, most companies use debt capital markets to raise money to expand their business.

Yugoslavia had a dynamic market socialist economy and was powerful enough to align against the USSR for decades, yet was multi ethnic.

It suffered from the typical authoritarian weak succession and was ultimately destroyed by its resurgent ethnic nationalism.
Wow this must have taken quite awhile. I've always wanted to do something similar with my hometown (for the giggles) and now I have a guide on how to start.

Have urban planners been receptive to using this model for how they work on issues that affect the city?
The paradox of worker-coops is that workers capable of successfully running businesses together are also capable of running businesses independently, so there's no need to form a co-op. It's those incapable of running a business individually or collectively that then form co-ops. Mondragon is the exception, not the rule.

You might be mildly interested in the fact that "hestus" in Greek can (and will) be read as "shit (on) them!"
You could instead say something like "I don't know."

Unfortunately, a lot of people (especially engineers) default to attempting to discredit people's strange experiences and instead regurgitate some hand-wavy materialistic explanation that is incorrect or at least so incomplete and hand-wavy as to just derail the conversation instead of improving it. I was this guy when I was younger, but I prefer being open-minded nowadays.

Specifically with regard to people's experiences, I tend to treat them with a strong curiosity. You can never really tell on the internet, but in person, I think people are generally quite honest and don't really lie about things that don't benefit them in some way. If you approach things with an open mind, people tend to be more open with their experiences, and it seems like at least 10% of people I know well and possibly many more have had some inexplicable experiences of the variety described by the parent poster (albeit usually over a much shorter period).
It’s not a line though, it’s a range where you can see it either way, like a flipping Necker cube.

Meh.

Probably not in China, since the math with respect to losses works out. The distance from, say, a sunny place like Lanzhou to Shanghai, or even to Guangzhou, is relatively close.

But of course, exporting from Australia to the rest of the world will be problematic. Not sure how that will work? My impression, however, was that they were only trying to get the energy to Singapore? Which should work. It is 3 times longer than what the Chinese are trying to do, and underwater. But again, theoretically, it should work.

"new cars in 2024"

I don't quite follow this logic? I am talking about what happens to cars with steel frames after a decade. Of course new cars aren't rusting out, but a large percentage of the ones made in 2009-2024 most certainly are. In the midwest/northeast US at least.
You would replace it with a dummy that unlocks that functionality but looks physically the same.
You can use window.open to create a child window whose DOM is writable by the main thread of the parent window. You can then mount a React root in the child and go off to the races.

This issue with this strategy is usually over reliance on 3rd party code that assumes that globalThis.window is the only window, and event handlers don’t end up working or something.

If you are using good libraries that really understand the DOM (React itself handles this well) or you write things yourself, it’s a bit of bother to add “target window” as a parameter to various functions that were previously using the global but quite doable.

I built an electron app that has one “root” window that is hidden that I use to spawn child windows without needing to load an entire new web page & instance of the JS bundle into each window. I used Tldraw and had to do some patch-package to fix global window assumptions in a few places.

Here’s my code: https://github.com/justjake/tlshot/blob/main/src/renderer/ed...
The "Writing" section here has huge "draw the rest of the owl" vibes. (I say this as an accomplished author of 10 tech books.)

Yes, it's worth optimising for your productivity. It's not the be all and end all. I've written at my desk with the comfiest chair (A Mirra) I have, and the most ergonomic keyboard for my needs (Ergodox EZ). I write at cafes with just the laptop. I write on the couch at odd but comfortable angles. I write on public transport squished against strangers.

I love using AsciiDoc as the tooling (asciidoctor + friends) give me output that looks decent, and the way I _input_ into that is not mind-breaking like Docbook is. Asciidoctor gives me a PDF which I then style how I like with CSS and then can put on leanpub.com and sell for real dollars.

The way I would put the writing section for tech books is this:

Start with the _topics_ you want to cover. Make these the chapters. Then dive into each topic and figure out what you want to say about the topic. Usually 3-4 main points per chapter. These come out to be your subheadings. Order the chapters from beginner-to-advanced concepts or in a way that makes sense for the book you're writing. For the books I've written it's usually start with a simple base app and then incrementally build things on top of that.
Anyone opposition who gets arrested will get those allegations by default in Iran. It doesn't mean that those are the real reason. The real reason is exactly what's written there: twitting a dot at supreme leader and getting more likes than him (he previously did say that 'If I post a dot, I'll get more like than the supreme leader hahaha').

He was also posting satires about the religion of peace.... :)

This is a common misinterpretation of the labor theory of value. I understand it like this:

I am a capitalist and my money goes to pay labor to create a thing that I sell in a market. The workers create thing in the production process. I have captured a portion of the labor's true value based on the market, bringing me profit - what Marx called "surplus value."

I turn around and reinvest that profit into another business that brings me more profit. Rinse and repeat, forever.

But that profit is nothing but a portion of the labor's true value as reflected in the market price, and therefore the labor created the value. The market did not create the value. The market decided on a price to pay for the value created by the labor.

Much like "machines all the way down", value is labor all the way down.
This will work for nobody and have the exact opposite of the well-intended effect.

Have you tried it?! Have you been exposed to German culture?
> His entire conflict with the left and the 'woke' is centered around this one issue

Extreme doubt.

But that is probably the reason why he came out of the closet about his views.

I think a lot of people have similar views to his, they just keep quiet. Because, well, look at what happens to you if you don’t.
I'm not sure it conflates the niches with employment. Many of the examples given are specifically non-paying niches. (Starting with breakup-whisperer).

Indeed for some percentage of people, employment is not fulfilling or satisfying. They turn to other activities to create significance in their lives. (Open Source software is pretty much built on this concept.)

That said, I suspect the basic premise (everyone has a unique niche) is flawed. It's more likely that everyone has the opportunity to add value to society, and that value comes in various ever-creative forms. Many choose not to take that opportunity, and hypothetically we're worse off for that, but life pretty much still goes on.

I'm a software developer (self-taught with ~5+ years of experience) looking to be hired. I have experience working with REST APIs, maintaining backend and frontend development using ReactJS.

Recently I created an article on how to setup a private Stellar blockchain on your system on my blog (decodedhtml[.]com). This was prepared during a hackathon challenge by the Stellar Foundation on dev[.]to platform. I was able to create a dApp and prepare the tutorial, and submitted the same. You find my different projects on my github linked above as where you'll find my CV. You can go through my profile and see my projects. I have spent a lot of time in trying to come up with those architecture. I jumped in to many opensource projects for this, to form an idea on how to build, maintain & scale those projects.
