I think a general lack of criticism also plays a part. When someone has decided that X is the best approach, they tend to point to blog articles that favour their point of view as "proof", while dismissing other point of views as "uninformed".

A typical example are all those "We rewrote our service from X to Y and got huge benefits" articles.

- They are ignoring the fact that the new version has the benefit of years of experience with the actual problem domain and can be optimized

- They also tend to use a different stack such as a more specialized database, async processing using message queues etc. that provides huge benefits.

Someone will always cherry pick some aspect of that article (language or choice of database) as proof that their point of view is correct, while ignoring the fact that they are not comparing an apple with an apple.

To get a real comparison they should have written a third system using their new architecture and the old langauge, but that would of course be hard to justify outside of academic research. The developers probably wouldn't do it anyway, because if the old language proved just as effective it would be harder to justify why they chose a new language. Resumé Driven Development is unfortunately a real thing.
This isn't necessarily true.

For example Equifax's TheWorkNumber won't do this (companies that don't do background references/verification of employment use this service), and their representatives and processes seem to follow similar practices employed by scammers.

Why Due over built-in Reminders app on iOS. Reminders has grown into a pretty neat app over the years. With iOS 18 it can even do Kanban view. Reminders on iOS also has the unique system advantage of having it's notifications stay on top of others until marked done. No other app has this permission as others I have tried, the notification just gets buried and I sometimes miss them.

With that said, Reminders remains just a tad basic for me for full life/project management. I just need deeper nesting! Currently in "My Lists" you can only go 2-deep. A folder then a list. I need folders inside folders.

Ok, I understand some of this. I know that often the structure of proteins (especially e.g. with ATP Synthase) helps drive and time limits energy production or energy signalling. Just like how the plugging/unplugging of sodium channels naturally creates equal windows for sodium to enter Neurons during action potentials, the natural duration of ATP synthase and other processes establishes a sort of time unit, wherever the ATP is.

Please can you expand a little more. I am a novice so I'm sure there must be something here I have missed, and would love to know what that is:

What I am a little confused about is that the consumption of energy is not done at the same time as consumption, unless I am wrong?

For example when muscles are used or repair during hysteresis, the mitochondria produced the ATP used in that reaction long before the event.

I suppose you can argue any energy consumption via chronic stress effects that. However, because it is local, distributed and there are a few forms of stored energy in essence and uses of it (e.g. mitosis/DNA nucleotide production), it's not like having one singular energy total that goes down, is it?

It's feasible that each area of the body can upscale production and produce their different kinds of energy/energy store more efficiently over time, since most of the time the body is not producing ATP at peak rate. Is the argument that doing that would wear out parts of the cells we have faster or something, due to the chronic stress, compared to what they typically see?

I struggle to buy this argument because we know that heavily overweight people consume much more calories (and thus more ATP Synthase etc) for their number of cells but they don't necessarily die much younger until you reach severe levels of being obese.

> highly efficient manufacturing

Is "highly efficient manufacturing" a euphemism for low paid labor and slave labor?

As far as I know pretty much any product that moved production to China did it because of low labor costs. It's also been reported that companies have also exited China into other low paid labor countries in the region.

Meanwhile the only factories that return to the US are exactly the ones that invested in automation and efficient manufacturing, as it's the only way to beat the low costs.

They've also managed to pump out really cheap solar panels and EVs, but it's not clear to me how much of that is upgraded automation vs government subsidies.
Is this strictly legal? For example, in the scenario where a "misconfigured" bot of a large evil corporation get's taken down and, due to layers of ass covering, they think it's your fault and it cost them a lot of money. Do they have a legal case that could fly in eastern district of Texas?
Intuition can be a powerful ally. You may feel you’re simply not being as effective a person as you should be. Some are disconnected from any sense of purpose or urgency whatsoever, some just don’t care. Others may well be latently idling while some inner potential goes untapped. Check recheck and triple check your everything! Little in life compares to fulfilling a sense of purposefulness.

You mean free market capitalism? That would be way to crazy.
They do. But lots of people buy homes just to rent them out. That removes a home from the market, and the competition pushes prices up.

The problem isn't signage.

Plus evicting/canceling a contract is an arduous process. It almost always favors the renter. And in the case of actually buying a home, there isn't much anyone can do.
I wouldn't wonder if, at some point, developers from Russia, China and other BRICS countries will fork the Linux kernel. That way they can still can do the changes they need.

Eh, Tokyo has plenty of monthly apartment rentals that are effectively corporate rentals that you can do without a residence card.

It's functionally better than a hotel, insofar as it doesn't read or act as one.

Elm has taught me that pure FP can work beautifully. But it didn't quite catch on, which says something (but not necessarily that this approach is wrong), and it's also clealry not suited for every type of programming (e.g. systems programming or other low level stuff).

Pure OOP aka Java has been a mistake, even though it's probably the most popular.

That's for regular apartments. The blog author went to a monthly mansion, which are used for holiday rentals and other short-duration stays of a few months or so (such as people moving to a new city and needing a place before they can find a permanent apartment, or maybe people on temporary work assignments in a new city).
Also, while they're unlikely to spend resources toward going after individuals who happen to work remotely on a tourist visa, it's comparatively trivial to pull people out at entry (and that's going to be a regular and well-documented occurrence because the alternative of overstaying your visa is absolutely something countries with governments tend to care about).

You can use the Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC with C. It's conservative, because it has to be with C, so it may/will miss things (it will treat integers etc. as potential pointers, and so avoid freeing anything "pointed to" by them), and so it works best as an extra layer of protection/leak detector, but it can be used as a replacement for freeing memory too.

I am not sure if I understand. You have a country on Earth where the vast majority of people is one kind and happily co-exists with 56 minorities.

Can you point me to another country (the size does not even matter) where this happens like this?

> Soon after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, 39 ethnic groups were recognized by the first national census in 1954. This further increased to 54 by the second national census in 1964, with the Lhoba group added in 1965. The last change was the addition of the Jino people in 1979, bringing the number of recognized ethnic groups to the current 56. The following are the 56 ethnic groups (listed by population) officially recognized by the People's Republic of China.

Apartments even in Tokyo are still quite cheap compared to today's rents in major American cities, and not needing to own a car also cuts living expenses massively compared to living in the US.

Someone coming from a German city with good public transit might not think it's that cheap though. But a lot of digital nomads are Americans.

> The other way around feels nonsensical to me.

Wonder if that's because you've learned the pattern - "functional core, imperative shell"? I feel it's not a coincidence you used the terms "shell" and "core" in your comment :).

Myself, I'm very much in favor on a theoretical basis. In practice, I've got bitten by this a couple times - keeping a purely functional core didn't play nice with the modularization and testing setup we had, using C++17 with CMake and GTest/GMock. I blame this on my inexperience, filing off sharp corners as I go along. I'd sure could use a detailed study of how to apply this pattern in modern C++, on an application scale, taking account the real tradeoffs - like how to "firewall" the core from outside mess, and allow tests to poke through that firewall, and not end up in weird linking hell, and not blow a single module into 10 tiny ones, and keep the whole thing debuggable in practice[0].

One thing I occasionally do even in the "FP inner core" is apply the idea I picked up from Clojure's "transient" data structures: there is no difference between purely-functional, immutable, referentially transparent code, and imperative code carrying mutable state, if no one on the outside can tell. Sometimes it's just easier to make a typical imperative procedural or OOP solution and isolate it in a functional interface.

[0] - I used to like point-free coding; especially with functional style, it makes for nice, readable, highly-expressive one-liners. But each time I had to debug such code, I ended up regretting it. Now I'm starting to favor more explicit steps with intermediary variables storing results, simply to have good targets for potential breakpoints/tracepoints, and because such code is more convenient to step through. You could say I'm only doing it because the tools I use are limited, but frankly, almost all of "readable code" principles and even the shape of modern languages are driven by limitations of the tools we use, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Talking to the db should contain a lot of business logic if you want performant queries. I'd say the "service layer" and the "layer for talking to the database" (repositories) are all part of the model and all contain business logic.

POTA is very laid back. Only the party in the park even needs to log.

> But yeah, in the end it's basically Pokemon Go that requires custom hardware and uses national/state parks in lieu of defining their own map of pokespots.

parks are also at least little interesting, I've learned about a lot of parks that I never would have known about just due to looking them up when I see stations operating out of them.

Also POTA (and other such contact collecting activities) provide an opportunity to practice your radio skills and use your equipment without the risk of getting involved in conversations you're not interested in or don't have time for. It's not rude to not get into a conversation, 'cause you're trying to rack up contacts and there are people waiting!

One of the top reasons against amateur radio I hear from non-hams is that they don't have anything to talk to other hams about. Turns out there is plenty to do without having a conversation on the radio.

(Of course, for people who want to converse there are plenty of opportunities to do that-- opportunities that are enhanced by contact collecting activities that do a lot to explore what locations are reachable.)

Some do but from observation lawyers/HR find reasons to resist this.

The most likely explanation is there could be risk but there is zero risk associated with saying no so legal and HR say no to this arrangement because they don't want more work and legal and HR are cost centres so they can't magically pull budget out of thin air to appease some annoying digital nomads. A company is also not going to let their entire workforce of full time employees transition to contractors overnight either, which would be a giant headache for both HR and senior management.

For example VCs prefer "headcount" over contractors for a number of reasons so there is pressure from the top to incentivise full time employees. Large multinationals have a lot of considerations around taxation (its always taxes...)

These are some of the practicalities I've uncovered that provide inertia towards remote working

It might be racism. But those thoughts aren't going to be undone with visas for rich nomads/tourists who'll stay for 6 months and dip. It's only accelerating justification for racism amongst locals.

And lumping any sort of economic concerns a country has into racism, then considering it something that shouldn't even be talked about because it's "racism", is how these issues start to snowball fast and more extreme racist reactions grow. A few European countries have taken hard right swings because people who said anything about immigration policies were shut down as racists. Now people don't even care about being called racist because the word is normalized. And that's a dangerous path to have started treading down. Japan is a country where being said to have some prejudice isn't something people will shamefully back away from; things could snowball much faster than in Europe.

1. stare death in the face, Accept the inevitable. to know death is to know life

2. stop using chronos time and change to kairos time.

Chronos = chronological time
Kairos = appropriate time

It is perhaps significant that, of the two, the western world has adopted chronological time as a linear measurement of time rather than the concept of appropriate time.

Thus, chronological time becomes functional: we spend time, lose time, waste time, serve time, being on time and even kill time.

I have always been a Kairos man myself, being with time.

It is so much more liberating
