So from December 2020 to February 2021 about 40lbs where each pound is 3500 calories?

140000 calories over about 14 months? So 10000 extra calories per month is ~330 per day.

That seems like a lot over a long time period.

Shokunin. They apply to the simplest and most complex tasks. See https://www.businessinsider.com.au/shokunin-japanese-and-ame...

Not even worth the effort considering how many companies have been hacked.

He spoke at my commencement with a a paraphrase of that and it's always stuck with me. Also led me to read most of his books!

So what does this Methuselah have to say to you, since he has lived so long? I’ll pass on to you what another Methuselah said to me. He’s Joe Heller, author, as you know, of Catch 22. We were at a party thrown by a multi-billionaire out on Long Island, and I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to realize that only yesterday our host probably made more money than Catch 22, one of the most popular books of all time, has grossed world-wide over the past forty years?”

Joe said to me, “I have something he can never have.”

I said, “What’s that, Joe?”

And he said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”

His example may be of comfort to many of you Adams and Eves, who in later years will have to admit that something has gone terribly wrong — and that, despite the education you received here, you have somehow failed to become billionaires.

I mean CDNs (content delivery networks) are pretty much agreed help performance by serving static content close to the end user. https://stevesouders.com/examples/rules.php

And you'd be surprised how much bot traffic that most sites get that you may or may not want to allow. Not every user feels comfortable setting up Let's Encrypt (though I agree it's awesome) or even has sufficient privileges to do so.

Compared to other services like AWS Cloudfront/WAF/etc., Fastly, Akamai, etc. IMO their offerings are quite powerful and economical.

I'd venture to say most consumers won't know of this new limitation if previous to now they have used 3rd party repair shops. Does anyone know how much an "authorized" screen repair costs vs. an "unauthorized" one previous to this model?

Totally agree. I am a runner and most running clubs no longer have their own website. Often events are behind a Facebook paywall and I deleted by account in 2016... Many many others niche interests have the same issue.

So if you are trying to troubleshoot something in a particular container how do you handle it? Attach a sidecar with various tools or...?

Don't forget good health and time to keep it that way.

Many people (think kids, parents with toddlers, etc.) damage their screen or keyboardb or trackpad and all of those are replaceable for a fairly low price and without tons of glue, etc. I dont have the link handy but search for the framework marketplace for prices.

Depends on the org but often new hires make close to the same salary as a manager that's been around for a few years. The difference may be in the bonus though.

Yeah. Windows 2000 was rock solid compared to 95 and 98 and became the underpinnings for future consumer releases of windows...

Just guessing deaths from commuting the average amount would dwarf that number and it never stopped them from wanting you in the office before.

Nailed it. The amount of money insurance will pay for PT is a joke. My wife is a lifelong runner and IIRC insurance would pay like $60 out of the $200+ bill. She just wants to stay active and be healthy and that PT work would pay massive dividends over the year in reduced costs to the insurance companies.

TIL "glurge". Glurge is the catch-all term for "inspirational" tales which purport to offer uplifting and timeless truths but — for various reasons (perhaps they carry Unfortunate Implications, they don't really make sense, or the work just isn't cut out for delivering morals) — are just a bit too hard to swallow. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Glurge

That's how I feel about most of what I see on linkedin. That and virtue signaling.

IIRC a significant drop did occur over the past year or so due to covid.

Even better go for a (challenging) bike ride or drive up Kings Mountain and down Tunitas Creek. It's one of my favorites due to the redwoods. Big Basin Park is also one of may favorites but most of it burned last summer.

I mean if you are calling it "shacking up" that might explain why it doesn't go well.

I don't think most would say men have it equally available but I'd certainly say it's more available than it was in the past just like women having jobs that can allow them to be the primary breadwinner are much more prevalent in 2021 than it was in 1981.

I do know some male stay at home dads but not as many.

Only good for the bosses and the shareholders.

And a reminder that he did in fact have covid. A funny tweet that explains the trade offs of that kind of test: https://www.newsweek.com/space-karen-response-elon-musk-vira...

Or move them to cold storage periodically that's air gapped and they are transferred via sneakernet encrypted.

I'd assume it would have failsafe upon failsafe. E.g. in your example it would pull over at the earliest safe location while waking up the driver because the remote backup was unavailable.

I bought a Vostro 5301 (13" with 11th gen intel cpu) and the fan ran All. The. Time.

I returned it after doing all the windows and driver updates, choosing "quiet mode" in the Dell Power Management software. The fan would kick on while cpu strolled along at 10 or 15%. Replaced it with an xps 13 which has been fine. (I have had several xps so decided to chance it).

Ironic you used that word as I can imagine it limited yours on this comment too. :-)

Have been reading "Agency" by William Gibson of Neuromancer fame and the Thylacines are described in the book but I was too lazy to look them up.

It's also bananas that they ban your entire google existence. If you violate some Developer TOS then ban you in the app store not in google drive, gmail, etc. That kind of collatoral damage begs for them to be broken up IMO.

You are probably getting paid less than you could be but your billable rate is likely substantially higher.

Not great links but you get the gyst...

That seems more sane and seems to ensure less inequality. E.g. a rising tide lifts all boats. I think that would be something like 24000 a year based on 2019: https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/average-income-in... Current federal minimum is about $15,000 a year for 40 hours a week.

However, I doubt the politicians will do it as it's harder to explain.

Your salary is not about value for society, it's about value for your company.

Software as they say is eating the world. The software you write replaces tons of manual processes generally. Finally it come down to supply and demand. If lots of people know how to program (well) the salary goes down.

You should never feel embarrassed by making a good wage. If you wish, you can always use that wealth to give back to society and your community.
