The argument isn't so much that you can reach across and do everything independently, it's that seeing the underlying code makes collaboration easier. Sometimes it means you copy/paste links to the code into Slack to ask about them. Sometimes it means you open an MR and ask for review because you're not sure. But both of those are highly preferable to opening a ticket for a different team and waiting around for maybe someday they'll get around to tackling something that a) the Business didn't ask of them and b) they didn't open for themselves
Then maybe we should change the law that defines what is and isnt libel.

I got ham from Aldi for $0.99 per pound on December 29. I assume it was leftover stock from the Christmas season since the label on the ham said it was $2.39 per pound. I would not be surprised to see chicken thighs for that price at Aldi one week.

While it failed politically and people voted for him I think they did because they didn’t have a good enough alternative ans in our two party system that’s what you get. If you vote at all you end up picking the donkey or the elephant.

It doesn’t change the facts though. He’s a bad dude. (Convicted of sexual assault remember) A transactional dude. A guy who doesn’t care about America or anything. He just wanted to stay out of jail and make his friends rich.

Now we have weirdo right wing folks from silicon valley going to run things with a guy who admires our enemies and who has “a concept of a plan” on how to solve things.

It never ceases to amaze me how folks on HN saw Trump as their coming out moment: “oh it’s cool now I can let my friends right wing techno libertarian flag fly, the real estate tv mogul from NYC is now president and is allied with white supremacists and mysoginy. I like those things!” ;-)

I think people again didn’t have a viable alternative, didn’t think he could be so bad (he will be), and are just apathetic to enough and (erroneously) thinking that Biden’s policies on the economy — they blamed him for inflation — were so bad the tax cut and spend guy is going to do anything good for the economy.

82M people voted for Biden in 2020…

You're actually the one implying that, you said “it's just for scripting”

You're not modifying the kernel or writing a GPU driver from scratch when you're building a game engine, yet you don't consider that to be scripting, why the difference?

To future salespeople in here: please work on selecting customers carefully, and pitch only to great two-way fits. That way, both customer and your organisation will thrive.

Something articles like these make me wonder is what would a single "perfect" meal look like? Perfect as in a meal that provides all the essential nutrients the average person needs to stay healthy over the long term? The goal would be to make it as cheap as possible, easy to mass-produce, and have a decent shelf life. It might not be the most exciting food, but it could address serious issues like malnutrition and food insecurity. Food banks could always have something reliable to offer, combine it with a supplement to make up for any lack of micro nutrients and no one would have to worry about not having access to basic nutrition. It feels like a solvable problem, but it's likely harder than I imagine.

Yes, this "inertia-of-force" is not part of Newton's laws, but it's a straightforward extension of Newton's laws, not a contradiction. And it preserves all of the other interesting properties - energy conservation, time symmetry, determinism.

It's certainly less of a contradiction of Netwon's laws than the idea that the particle just sitting there can suddenly start moving, which is a straightforward contradiction of Netwon's first law, and implies that a particle can acquire higher order acceleration (jerk or snap) out of thin air.

Of course, this is all moot anyway, as this type of dome with a point-like apex is not a physical system to begin with: since matter is made of atoms, it can't have this type of singular point. Not even going into problems of the precision needed to give the particle just the right initial speed to actually have exactly 0 velocity at the top.

I currently work remotely and was talking to my wife that if I loose this job we will have to relocate, no more remote jobs, I don't want to play the rat race. I participated in hiring (reviewing people's exercices) and all are gaming the system, none could explain simple things in the tech challenge they put together, some are prepared to answer some questions but it takes minutes to realize this person didn't do any of that.

Big bag of rice, and big bag of dry beans. Or cheap canned beans, if you're not up to cooking beans properly (I wasn't).

A working-poor friend also used to buy steel-cut oats, to eat breakfast for pennies.

If you buy fresh vegetables, learn how to keep them from spoiling on you.

With canned soup, instant ramen, and a lot of other packaged foods, pay attention to the sodium. (I avoid a lot of those, or end up diluting it, or, say, using only half the seasoning packet.)

Where you shop matters to budget. Where I live, WFM has bought out, or driven out, most of the other grocery stores (and one of the remaining stores prices similarly, but without the cachet), but a Market Basket is just a short hike over the train tracks.

For specialty groceries, a small grocery store serving some ethnic group for which that's a staple, can be cheaper than most broader grocery stores.

Don't get scurvy, or other nutritional deficiency. If you can't make sure all your nutrients are covered, I've guessed (I'm not a nutritionist) that a mainstream multivitamin pill can't hurt.

You should also count your calories, to make sure you're getting enough. Once you start being more penny-pinching with eating, you might find yourself getting hungry less, rather than more, and it's not hard to slip into caloric deficit that will make you sick. There are calculators on the Web for how much you should intake.
Slightly tangential but how does the ad hoc nature of things like cosmic inflation seemingly not bother more people? Quite the opposite, it's a rather lauded discovery. This is more cosmology than astronomy, but at least reasonably related. That topic alone destroyed my interest in an academic pursuit of astronomy.

'Here's an idea that makes no logical sense, has no physical argument whatsoever (let alone evidence) in support of its existence, and just generally seems completely absurd - but if we ignore all of that, it solves a lot of other pesky problems with reality, as observed, practically falsifying other lauded theories.'

Just add more epicycles?
That’s what they did for years. I suspect there are some “nice” macroeconomic trends helping them avoid this. Like regulatory capture and the general regulatory fragmentation of the global tech sector. And that new AI tech is prohibitively expensive.

The RSI thing is real. Until my late 20s I would type blindly with what I jokingly called 5 and a half fingers. But I did start to notice some strain, which is when I decided to finally teach myself "proper" touch typing. I don't think my typing got meaningfully faster, but it got smoother, and the strain went away.
This is one of the best thing I read; I thought I was pretty good at Flexbox (and its tailwindcss building blocks), but this scratched my itch on some theoretical foundations.
I wouldn’t say programmers are taught to nitpick, so much as look for non-obvious problems. The nitpicking comes as a side effect. Maybe it is cargo-culting.
It's kind of odd that the tech sector has so many talented people desperate for any job, yet companies aren't taking them on. Those same companies continue to pay their existing staff such exorbitantly high compensation. You'd think things would equalize out a bit as companies take advantage of this situation to get cheaper talent.
There is some visibility issue on mobile. Things are only visible at a certain angle or distance. Otherwise it's just white.
The situation is complex, but I suspect that is the mechanism that anchors inflation to wage inflation rather than monetary inflation. Prices are the signal for when something should be consumed less - so anything with a price rising faster than wage inflation tends to be downweighted and anything with a price rising slower than wage inflation is kept in the basket.

If inflation tended to match to wage inflation then the scheme would be valid, but it doesn't. The newly printed money ends up unequally distributed over the economy, tending to end up with asset owners.

I don't understand why people even pay attention to the CPI. There are direct measures of how much money is being created, we can all just use that rate instead.
Thanks for the quick response. Would prefer not to buy specialized hardware.

Regarding the first paragraph, I have the impression that gamedev and graphics folks have largely moved to Mastodon. There's a gamedev Mastodon instance.
What's with the "that isn't always a good thing"? Not in the actual title. There's a bit midway through that reads as follows:

> Of course, increased productivity isn’t always good news for workers: One way that companies get more productive is by laying off employees. New technologies such as AI can create new jobs and make workers more efficient—or take their jobs.

The main AI example is of an owner being more efficient.

> If there is a good culture and collaboration the infrastructure as code, the advocates, etc will come naturally. People will find a way to collaborate. But not the other way around, these won't fix the culture.

Sure I'll agree that DevOps is a culture change. You're right that exposing everything as code does not, in and of itself, get people to start having discussions around code or proposing changes to the code. If people are used to the only way to something getting done is by waiting for meetings and opening tickets, then the fact that every team has code in a pipeline doesn't inherently change that. But without ensuring that the code is there first, you cannot enable the cultural change; it is the fact that the code is available is what makes possible an expectation from management to first go look at the code and try to understand it and have discussions around the code and even propose changes to code outside of your domain.

Without the code exposed, you can have very "collaborative" cultures. They look like people whose calendars are booked straight through for weeks, where they spend the whole meeting trying to get their heads aligned, sometimes going over basic details, where at the end, hopefully, you get a ticket opened for them or their team. You spend so much time collaborating that nobody actually has any time to get anything done.

I found this to be relatively cynical. Not every type of salesperson is like the types explored in this article.

When I was in sales we were taught to disqualify prospects, precisely because we had to find those 5-10% for whom we could resolve business pain or provide value.

Most businesses don’t benefit from signing up customers bound to be unhappy. It costs money to sell to them in the first place. Typically your ideal customer profile (ICP) is going to be someone who is going to love your product and have a lot of money to spend on it with the need to buy a lot of it. We wouldn’t waste precious time trying to scam people who weren’t that.

So really I felt this article was mostly talking about the author’s lived experience of sleazy sales: telemarketers and panhandlers and inmates.

I think some of that philosophical exploration was extended much too far into societal changes like going from an agrarian to an industrial society.

The author seems to consider the role of sales to be like the great scam of modern society.

But the reality is, products that salespeople were selling like the cotton gin or the steam engine were absolutely things that buyers wanted and benefited from.

Another example was a friend of mine who worked for Apple retail. For some people retail is soul crushing, and you’d be correct to point out that many people are completely insufferable to deal with.

But the story I got from them was that, for the most part, selling at Apple (especially 10 years ago when their products were arguably more exciting) involved a lot of time spent with customers who were having a whole lot of fun buying stuff for themselves.

If only the author got to witness an elite salesperson selling things that people really like.
Not my intention.

It's just a whole lot harder to find good employment now. And if you are employed, it's just difficult to understand the pain it is to get re-employed.

Read the story about the guy who used to sell a bag of dicks and made $100k in like 10 days for years ago. That wasn't just a lightning in a bottle idea, that's because normal people had $20 to send anonymous bags of dicks to each other for funsies. I see those people at the food bank, now.
And run those Ethernet cables directly to your phones and tablets.
Are they all in-person now or remote? Also wondering how you secure interviews with the big tech companies if you don't have referrals per se; I do have friends at some of these places but I've mostly worked at smaller companies my whole career, and some contract positions at bigger Fortune 500s, I'm not sure if big tech would go for my sort of profile over others who've worked at bigger companies or other big tech companies.
