I appreciate this. It’s a good overview of what it means to be a productive part of a larger context.

I prefer the terms “throughput” for “worker productivity” and “latency” for “work-unit productivity” but I can see why they chose to use their terms.

But he lives in NYC (Staten Island). It’s his own local government.

Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have a corporeal body. It would be better to just be a mind.

It is doable for many young professionals who work office jobs out of college, do not have dependents, and live with a roommate for a few years while getting established in their careers, finding a spouse, and then moving out to the suburbs.

This is just about possible in NYC if you 1) work in a high-rise by a station 2) commute during peak times with frequent trains 3) live in a high-rise by a station.

For example: Downtown Brooklyn or Exchange Place high-rise <=> WTC.

The other option would be to live within walking distance. A <20 minute walking distance to a downtown or midtown office is reasonable.

Through talks at C++ conferences and appearances on C++ podcasts:

Swift was developed by a lot of former C++ committee members, and in C++ circles they’ve been advocating for it as a “successor language” for quite some time.

This could definitely be confusing if you don’t have that context, but making Swift useful for this kind of project has been an explicit goal of the Swift developers for years.

There’s also a whole industry of ex-Googlers reimplementing Google tooling as SaaS services to sell to other ex-Googlers at other companies.

There’s even a lookup table: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg

(some of those are open source projects, some are SaaS services)

Today, I wanted to make a module for my AwesomeWM status bar

It’s great when simple tools let you extend them like this. It may be kinda hacky sometimes but oftentimes a small, tightly-scoped extension that you develop for yourself can give you a lot of value.

I hope you’re on a long LTS release my friend

100% equals one full core. Higher numbers are possible for multithreaded processes.

+1. The joy of camping (for me) is that your experience is directly related to your preparation. You plan your location, activities, meals, sleeping arrangements, and companions, doing all of the research and investment up front to make each of those work well, taking into account weather and conditions, and then you get to enjoy a trip where everything goes well with people you care about, with the satisfaction that the experience that you are having is the direct result of your actions.

Of course, the pain of camping is that any and all of the above can go wrong, and then, indeed, it’s probably gonna suck.

Fair enough. I think it’s okay if you’ve experienced a place, given it a shot, decided it wasn’t for you, and moved away.

One thing I’ve noticed in NYC however, is how many people have an uninformed and strong default opinion that anywhere besides the west or east coast in unlivable, and that bothers me.

Your comment is reasonable, but a lot of the comments to this post reflect that same caustic attitude and it saddens me.

Austin is a nice city. With all due respect, and as someone who grew up in Texas but now lives in NYC, it is exactly this kind of condescension that makes a lot of Texans dislike people from the coasts.

The inverse square law only applies to undirected things, because the surface area of a sphere is proportional to the square of radius. The parent specified directed, like a laser.

I felt the same way about running until I started getting into triathlons. Watch out for that trap; races are at least $200 each, and road bikes ain’t cheap!

If Beehaw were to remove federation, then it would no longer be part of the Fediverse. I would be sad to see it go, but I am only interested in the Fediverse.

So what you’re saying is, it is true that I will no longer have French installed.
