Do you actually use the phrase "be negative" when you ask the question? I could see that distorting the responses by people who don't consider pulling the cord to stop the line "being negative."

That sounds exactly like emacs with company-mode or ido-mode.

You're so close to actual understanding here it's painful.

It says "Illustration," not "Photograph."

See how easy it is to fall into assuming I care? This is not "compelled speech" in the sense of the Constitution, anyway, your disingenuous attempts to paint it as such notwithstanding.

If you don't want to respect the people around you at work, you should be fired.

If taking a nap is both practical and sounds like a good idea, do it. Being well rested just makes every single thing you do easier and better.

Conversely, and this may just apply to me personally, whatever it is, I'm not going to get up earlier in the morning to do it, unless there are serious consequences for not doing it.

That's not true. By restricting supply, they raise property values for all housing owners, whether they rent out their properties or live in them. NIMBYs and landlords should be natural allies as such.

You've got an easy, built-in way to avoid the tax if you don't want to pay it.

It's a fundamental need for some people, if you want to have a healthy city where firefighters, teachers, baristas, servers, etc. can live there without having the city's cost of living externalized via multiple hour megacommutes.

Bullshit. If the flight were full, as per usual, then yes, I would agree. Under normal circumstances, I could evaluate this offer and decide that yes, it was worthwhile.

But, here, they clearly exploited an information asymmetry to make me a zero value offer, knowing there was some probability I'd accept. Caveat emptor only applies when you have some way to evaluate or vet the offer in advance. With the hidden information that was kept from me, I was robbed of such opportunity.

No, in fact, I did not truly get what I wanted. I got bumped into the next higher group, which had literally no effect on anything.

To put a finer point on it, I wanted to get some value out of my $29. I got none. If I said "Hey, give me $29. I'm not gonna give you anything, I just want $29," would you give it to me? Transactions in capitalism are supposed to be voluntary, mutually beneficial exchanges. What benefit did I get? AA exploited an information asymmetry to scam me out of $29.

I expect them not to make me an offer at the airport check-in kiosk that they know I'll get no value out of.

They did when I checked in at the airport kiosk, which is where they made me the offer.

Yeah. For instance, let's talk about the $29 I paid to American Airlines recently for "priority boarding," before I found out the flight was less than 1/3 full. I got what was offered, but I got no actual value out of it. AA essentially scammed me out of $29, because I never would have taken the offer had I known there were so few people on the flight.

Edit to add: they made me this offer at the airport kiosk, immediately before my flight boarded. They knew it wasn't anywhere near full.

That’s all documented in the standard though. Why would you access errno any other way?

Let's not forget how the US just conveniently doesn't go after the wealthy for tax fraud, because it's too difficult given they can hire armies of CPAs and lawyers to defend themselves.

I asked you a good faith question that should have been easy for you to answer if what you said was true. You refused. What am I supposed to believe?

In simple terms, I asked you to put up or shut up, and your response was "no u." If you had an actual point, you should have been more than happy to have been asked to expound upon it.

They were trolling.

Great answer. Your point is now clear.

Why don’t you give us a 3 paragraph except of those “volumes,” then?

Well, for Disney, making up for some of that early pandemic park revenue is certainly a challenge. Nobody messes with Mickey Mouse’s money!

Stop doing it professionally.

Try a project that's either completely useless or at least wildly impractical. Don't be afraid to throw away code.

I haven’t moved anything. You just didn’t know where my goalposts were to begin with.

If there's no functional difference between before and after the loss, it damn well does.

Tell me, how did his lifestyle change as a result of losing this $5 billion? What actual pain of loss did he feel, above and beyond seeing some numbers go down?

So? What's the functional difference between $6 billion and $1 billion (which is roughly what Google says his current net worth is). Unless your net worth is $500M or more, you're closer to being homeless than ever seeing that kind of wealth.

In general, I let a lot of stuff find me via aggregators like Reddit and HN. If I’m searching for specific things, I’ll often go to a specialized site like Stack Overflow. But if I don’t know exactly what I’m after, then it’s the “search Google, put a couple key terms in quotes, repeat” dance.

Lots of good suggestions here, but yours dovetails nicely with mine: if your situation supports it, get a dog. Walk the dog. Play with the dog. Take the dog to the park.

I tend to hate physical activity for its own sake. I’ve been known to say I’ve never run in my life unless I was being chased. But, having a dog opened up a world of activity with a purpose. I now get outside and walk for a minimum of about 40 minutes a day, and most days much longer. It’s done wonders for both my physical and mental health.

But that actually points to an underlying principle: if you hate the gym because it’s boring or seems pointless, find an otherwise enjoyable activity that also incorporates an element of physicality.

Have a laugh at this then, too: http://wiki.c2.com/?AnarchyProgramming
