I agreecand I would add that waterfall too has its place as you OP luckily experienced. It forces you to design and plan the whole thing before execution and it also works better on projects that have a rigid unmoveable deadline.

If your parents are working in tech and your friends are programmers why apply to random unknown jobs? Can't you just use their network to get recommended to somewhere? Why fight the firewall when you can avoid it?

Good read and I simpathise. Dealing with publicity can be horrible. You need such a thick skin and self confidence not to be moved by insults and demands coming with people actually start using what you created.

These are not ants but many different species of animals are dying in a very strange manner. Please try to not think them all of just "fish" as this is kind of an understatement. For better understanding think about that in a forest every animal from the bat and squirrel to boar and wolf starts spinning then die.

This is exactly that strange and under no circumstances should be written of by natural cause.

I replayed Loom some years ago. It is a unique old Lucasarts game with wonderful music.

The question is interesting, the conclusion says basically nothing:

> The cost of housing comes from a variety of sources. In most cases, for both new construction and existing housing, the largest line item is the cost of constructing the home itself. For new construction this is on average 80% of the cost of a home (including hard and soft costs), while for existing construction it's still in the neighborhood of 60-70%.

> It’s only in dense urban areas that the cost of land begins to dominate the cost of new housing, driven by regulatory and zoning restrictions that limit how much housing can be built in a given area. Another way of looking at it is that in the areas that we need housing the most, zoning and regulatory factors are responsible for the lion’s share of housing costs.

I agree with the other commenters that if all you have are juniors this will cause problems and - unless some of them are more than what meets the eye - you are doomed. I was however once in the shoe of your Devs and I may have a few pointers that you can do that helps them, regardless of how successful your product will be.

0. Get a senior programmer next to them to be a tech lead. (Yeah yeah I know..)

1. Describe the problems they need to solve as detailed as you can then trust them as much as you dare to bring a solution. Do not try to invent/describe the solution. This helps critical thinking and independence.

2. If anything is finished, be happy for it and communicate your happiness. This gives them direct contact to a person whose problems they can solve and is a great motivator.

3. Get them an udemy or similar account and try to set together a learning/development path that interests them and can be used in their daily tasks. This helps gaining knowledge.

4. Praise them when they hit their goals

You know with GPT you can do these steps in a language you are not familiar with and it will still work. If you don't know some aspect of the language or it's environmental specifics you can just chat until you find out enough to continue.

Unless everyone will just binge on low hanging dopamine fruits.

> Given how well chatgpt's voice recognition works - why not just put it on all cars!

Because saying "roll down the left window" is still a fucking nuisance compared to a click of a button.

What a great informative video!

From experience the long tube is very distinguishable from the rest of the internals as it's surprisingly large in diameter (larger than any guts), thick and white.

Also the unborn yolks can be cooked just like a regular egg yellow and has exactly the same taste/texture.

I also see close and almost unbreakable relation between clojurians and Emacs. I always tell them to snap out of it and stop wasting precious company time on configuration and writing + as the first character when doing an addition. When I get serious they always see the light as they convert to python + vim.

You can program a robot to scream in agony each time you hit it. That does not mean it became something that feels pain.

Read as a feeling instead of a rational thought I can deeply empathise. I recently had my first experience with Jira that enforces sprints and an illogical workflow for a team that should work in kanban with several types of tickets of witch at least two should exist for any work to be getting done, often more because you need a different ticket for the managerial problem and a different for the techical part of the solution and an additional one for the analysis of the problem at hand all written up so anyone could do any task, nicely linked.

It is horrible. I just want to work. It's two lines of a fix in a config file. It does not need such a ceremony but a message on teams.

In my case this is a solution to a problem of fluctuation and growth so described processes can make everyone redundant. I bet the people set this up never even read the agile manifesto.

I saw something similar back in 2010 for java but it was marketed as a different product. It was some kind of a debugger which would let me forward and rewind time and the state of the program with a single slider. It was marvelous and totally unusable for the monster java EE stuff we were working on but sounded awesome for sane, smaller projects.

Saying that we most likely don't have a problem because garbage studies fail to capture that by numbers is not the right conclusion.

MIT lecture by Patric Winston: How to speak is the lecture you need to watch about public speaking and presentation. The most awesome thing about the lecture that it is self describing it's tools and framework in an awesome way and built up exactly as it's content describe is should. It's on youtube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Unzc731iCUY

These are more mundane than the average.

I heard the phrase "Nutrient harvesting" on a no-dig gardening channel. Helped me reframe the mundane task of weeding in my garden. I'm now instead gathering nutrients for my plants as either local mulching or composting and it became a much more meaningful task.

"The way your childhood shaped you is an adaptive reaction to your environment that searched for the optimal solution to survive."

This is a reframing for bad or unwanted patterns you learned through childhood and still doing. Helped me forgive myself and accept the unwanted behaviours as something that was once necessary to stay afloat.

The Red Rising saga is something I stumbled on by chance and slowly consuming it for relaxation. It is a great and often extremely fast paced pop sci-fi (if there is a genre called that). Lots of action, interesting world and hierarchy with political maneuvers often turning into bloodbaths. There is a big quality improvement starting from book 4, where the focus goes from the constant action to flesh out the characters still alive.

I would also add that by the time of becoming a parent every girl was already familiar with most of the chores and tasks of raising a child and most likely familiar with giving birth because no one went away to hospital to give birth - it happened at home.

You can be thankful for stuff without any deity or higher being in your life. If you must have someone to articulate it you can thank to fate, chance, blind luck, other people or your past self to brought you to the things, places, events, persons you are thankful for.

In my experience it's a good exercise to introduce positive thoughts in life. I also like to think about the good things that happened to me on the end of the day - sometimes I need several minutes to bring up a single thing but practice makes wonders.

Uh we must be using different prompts. I'm talking about this: export PS1="\u@\h \[\033[32m\]\w\[\033[33m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

I already tried to customize my command line prompt with it. All the arcane colouring character decodings and random character escaping missions became a "put git branch names in parenthesis and make it cyan".

But that's the thing - AGI in theory will be able to constantly change the trading strategy. It will not figure out some trading strategy it will figure out all the strategies and how to apply it and what will be the consequences with how big of a probability. The only other thing capable of outsmart it will be another AGI and nothing else will come even remotely close.

Feedback is best given when asked.

Brothers - a tale of two sons is a good story driven 3d platformer. It can be played with one controller, both holding it.

The same way Bletchley park did - by entities with unlimited money interested in unlimited criptograpy strength.

Camille Fourier - The manager's path is not exactly exciting but a down to earth no bullshit description of what awaits you. I recommend it.

Yeah but the golden handcuffs, man... they are pretty.

I recently read The Hidden Life of Trees which tackles this question. Very good book, to the point, I highly recommend it.

In it there is proof that trees communicate with each other through the roots, different species can talk to each other, they share nutrients and sugars between each other and talk with fungi. Eg. they can warn each other about insect attacks and react with bitter leaves.

My favourite trivia from the book is that there are three currently accepted answer for how trees circulate water: capillary action, transpiration and osmosis.

Capillary action is the same force which holds rain drops together - that should push the water up in the trunk fibers.

Transpiration is basically works like trees evaporates (exhale) water through its leaves and that creates suction.

Osmosis is that if sugar in one cell is higher than the neighboring cell, the water will flow towards the more sugary one until both have the same amount of water.

Now, capillary action cannot work for more than 1 meter height, and water flow is highest in the trees at spring before the leaves open up so that rules out transpiration. Osmosis can only happen in the roots and leaves because trunk contains long tubes for water and not cells.

Which leaves us... Yeah. We don't know :D
