> You may have to euthanize a chicken

Looking online on reasons to euthanize chickens, it seems to be about not prolonging their suffering when ill.

I don't really know much on farming practices, and I'm not commenting to say that things should be one way or the other. However, I do note that with a human, euthanasia is not a common practice, specially without consent, and one would typically just numb the pain until they pass on their own, i.e. hospice care.

Maybe that's not possible with animals because chickens can't really communicate on the effectiveness of drugs...

Still much better treatment than factory farming.

Do I blame the wealthy for paying only what’s owed? No.

Do I blame them for perpetuating this state of affairs to the detriment of the nation as a whole? Yes.

> Trump winning the election wasn't necessarily because he was "objectively wanted".

Isn't that exactly what the popular vote is though? Maybe people weren't passionate about it, but my loose understanding of the US popular vote is it's quite direct unlike preferential voting, so the people who chose him actively chose _him_.

I'm not saying there aren't regrets, but it seems to me defintively that the majority of voters selected him as the president they wanted.
Yes, and it's a legitimate problem in science. In principle (not that anyone does this), you should probably apply some kind of FDR or FWER control procedure to the entire body of literature in each field. And that's before you get into the known effect of publication bias.

That's ~3.75 million dollars, plus probably another ~$250k benefits from when she turned 18 to today.

So $4 million dollars for 25 years of entry level work.

It works out to roughly paying a secretary at the municipal building $150k/yr to answer the phone? Do data entry? Collect payment for tickets?

You don't think $150k is insane pay for a municipal secretary?

From Hector Martin's announcement:

"Back in 2011, Con Kolivas left the Linux kernel community. An anaesthetist by day, he was arguably the last great Linux kernel hobbyist hacker. In the years since it seems things have, if anything, only gotten worse. Today, it is practically impossible to survive being a significant Linux maintainer or cross-subsystem contributor if you’re not employed to do it by a corporation. Linux started out as a hobbyist project, but it has well and truly lost its hobbyist roots."
Once when I was in consultancy, I was at a 10+ person meeting where they spent 45 minutes debating an hour's worth of charge for a PMs time on the project.

It didn't go down so well when I stated "I don't know how much each of you get paid, but I know the rough hourly rate my firm charges to have me here, and I can pretty confidently state we've just spent more money debating that hour's charge than the hour's charge is worth" -- it did move the meeting on to more important topics though.

"Penny wise but pound foolish" springs to mind.

Critical thinking doesn't make people less religious nor should less religious people be a goal in society.

I struggle to explain, but I feel like our data-obssessed society has completely thrown out the baby with the bathwater when it comes to these things. No one labels themselves with a religion or political party because there is a flaw in each one and anything with a flaw can't be correct, scientifically, so we just don't believe in any grand purpose to our lives, don't believe in any world leaders, don't believe in any shared tenets, and basically are all lonely and weak (because we abandon every group with a flaw).

The result of critical thinking shouldn't be a worse off society...

When? At what specific (magic) number does everything come crumbling down? We're at ~36 Trillion today, would 37 Trillion the number that will cause people to run out of faith? I mean that's only one more than we have today, surely people won't run out of faith for one more. So maybe it's 40 Trillion? But come on, we're at 36, people can't possibly give up on the US dollar just an 8% increase. How about 100 Trillion? 500 Trillion? I'm not sure you know how this game is played.
The simple explanation is most of these are Excel VLOOKUPs gone wrong.

I think you missed my point. I was saying that even if they did, a lot of people would still be unhappy with that kind of outcome.

Which isn't to say that they shouldn't pay more in income taxes. It's just to say that it's important to identify the real problem and address it directly, and to realize when you're not going to be happy with a solution beforehand.

Lots of inflationary pressure building.

- Debt repayments are entering a level similar to 1990s due to high rates and debt, meaning the government will eventually have to use inflation to reduce it.

- Trump's hostility to energy and housing, two primary drivers of inflation

- Tariffs

- Deportations of farm workers

Inflation expectations according to surveys and rates markets are back up to 2021 levels.

The only thing pushing against inflation is a relatively strong real economy, which isn't guaranteed to last if the tariffs and deportations happen.

Government jobs don't work like that, do they? There's a pay schedule for the job title and that's what you get paid. The codes start with G and go from 1-16 and beyond. Idk look it up. You don't really get to negotiate wages as a federal employee. The only thing you can get paid more on hire is if the schedule for the title is like GS4-GS5 DOE

The flip is they get paid time off, a lot, retirement, health coverage, and maybe early retirement.

> I feel like a freaking loser given my age and my relative career stagnation / my inability to actually turn my mildly above average skills into any real money.

There's a lot of noise out there that tells us we're supposed to get rich off of entrepreneurship or VC money, and not enough telling of the truth that those success stories are pretty rare. No one who is doing something they at least minimally enjoy and not breaking their body doing it, and getting paid in the top 20% of income earners, is a loser.
that's a nice solution!

The silent ideological and political battle of flagging uncomfortable truths is trampling curiosity. Interesting how they get a way with violating the guidelines, and yet people who want to have a conversation are accused of and sanctioned for it.

The small mistake you make is assuming the users doing the flagging merely want to ignore it. They don't want anyone participating in it. The very topic is persona non grata. The guideline itself is written in newspeak.
So he was the CEO, all the way at the top, not just a manager -- but yes, it seems like there were some things that could be improved with their controls, in retrospect.

It was a small bank, looks like probably only a dozen or so employees total, if that paints a picture of how this might have happened.

Aha, here's the writeup by the Federal Reserve, very well-done!

> Heartland employees circumvented the bank’s internal controls and policies; following those internal controls and policies may have prevented or detected the alleged fraudulent activity. We believe that the CEO’s dominant role in the bank and prominent role in the community contributed to a reluctance on the part of Heartland employees to question or report the alleged fraudulent activities earlier.

> The events leading to Heartland’s failure revealed a significant breakdown of internal controls, including controls related to wire transfers and suspicious activity reports (SARs). Specifically, senior bank employees circumvented the bank’s wire policy and daily limits to approve and process the CEO’s alleged fraudulent wire transfer requests. Additionally, Heartland employees did not follow the bank’s Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) (together, BSA/AML) policy.

> I don't know why people say this when Twitter had clear changes to day to day use. Let alone to anyone investing in Twitter.

That wasn't my point though. Twitter itself changed, which was expected and (I assume) intended. My point was the months of us being told constantly by the media that the sky is falling - the servers would fall over tomorrow, the advertisers would all leave and there would be no money, etc. This was literally daily for at least a month.

Now, Twitter is still up and running fine (from a technical and assumedly financial perspective). It appears Elons methods worked fine, and all the other major tech companies also went on a mass firing spree to trim the fat.

I'm honestly not sure how this compares with similar changes to a federal government - or if it does at all. But the context of my comment came from the GPs point, fat cutting and applying highly profitable tech start approaches to a federal government is an interesting thought exercise and especially so for a country that values capitalism over people so highly.

Every significant government policy being added or removed has real world impact - both positive and negative. I'm curious if the positives will outweigh the negatives in this case.
I think it's kind of hilarious even though it's an expensive pain in the neck. There's nothing we can do to make it go away on its own, so we might as well find the humor in it.

Its picking up rocks to see what makes threats or scatters.

A large portion of the effect you seem to be experiencing is trump and elon troll, and the media just mangles the trolls until I do not believe any story, comment, etc about Trump, doge, musk, Zelensky, Putin, whatever unless I literally see their words or hear their words.

Ex: the executive branch policy executive order today or yesterday. MSM and people on the internet "he's bypassing the checks and balances!"

OK no that's not what the EO says; but just for fun check what EO Biden signed about this many days into his presidency.

Hint: Reformation of the US Supreme Court.

It's just what they do. Presidents.

Also for the record Trump has signed 68 and in the same timespan Biden signed 34. Most of both were rescinding the others EO.

> Why would the wrong venv be activated?

Because when you activate a venv in a given terminal window it stays active until you deliberately deactivate it, and one terminal and one venv looks much like another.

> I activate a venv according to the project I'm currently working on.

So just manual discipline? It works (most of the time), but in my experience there's a "discipline budget"; every little niggle you have to worry about manually saps your ability to think about the actual business problem.

> "what do you do when you 'accidentally' manually copy another project's pyproject.toml over the current one and then try to update?" I'm pretty sure they won't be able to protect you from that.

Copying pyproject.toml is a lot less routine than changing directories in a terminal window. But if I did that I'd just git checkout/revert to the original version.

> the code simply wouldn't have those errors. Because that venv has its own up-to-date listing of requirements; so when I recreated the venv, it would naturally just contain what it needs to.

So how do you ensure that? pip dependency resolution is nondeterministic, dependency versions aren't locked by default and even if you lock the versions of your immediate dependencies, the versions of your transitive dependencies are still unlocked.

> If the listing were somehow out of date, I would have to fix that anyway, and this would be a prompt to do so.

Flagging up outdated dependencies can be helpful, but getting forced to update while you're in the middle of working on a feature (or maybe even working on a different project) is rather less so. Especially since you don't know what you're updating - the old versions were in the venv you just clobbered and then deleted, so you don't know which dependency is causing the error and you've got no way to bisect versions to find out when a change happened.

> Do tools like Poetry and uv scan my source code and somehow figure out what dependencies (and versions) I need? If not, I'm not any further behind here.

uv has deterministic dependency resolution with a lock file that, crucially, it uses by default without you needing to do anything. So if you wiped out your cache or something (or even switched to a new computer) you get the same dependency versions you had before. There's no venv to clobber in the first place because you're not activating environments and installing dependencies - when you "uv run myproject" the dependencies you listed in pyproject.toml, there's no intermediate non-version-controlled thing to get out of sync and cause confusion. (I mean, maybe there is a virtualenv somewhere, but if so it's transparent to me as a user)

> I spent this morning exploring ways to install Pip 0.2 in a Python 2.7 virtual environment, "cleanly" (i.e. without directly editing/moving/copying stuff) starting from scratch with system Python 3.12. (It can't be done directly, for a variety of reasons; the simplest approach is to let a specific version of `virtualenv` make the environment with an "up-to-date" 20.3.4 Pip bootstrap, and then have that Pip downgrade itself.)

Putting pip inside Python was dumb and is another pitfall uv avoids/fixes.
