I tend to be warm when running. Around 40 F I’ll put on gloves, and around 32 F I’ll put on a light wool jacket and a beanie. I don’t run outside if it’s colder than that. I never wear long pants; my legs are always warm from the exercise.

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.

We do! We also call him Archibaldo and Archipiélago.

Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who is primarily responsible for the present situation, used to be my local state senator.

I specifically kept my voter registration in Texas during my college years so that I could continue to cast my vote against him. There is nothing good to say about that evil man.

I like Texas, and I hope that at some point we figure out how to govern it in a sane way, because I unfortunately cannot recommend living there right now.

Twitter’s a bit of a bad example. Musk may be using it that way now in order to make the best of a bad situation, but it’s pretty clear that he didn’t actually intend to buy it in the first place.

Even someone like Musk doesn’t ever intend to go out and lose tens of billions of dollars on a single purchase.

My poodle knows how to tap the homepad with his nose to play music. He gets up to it, taps it, and then curls down beneath it to listen. It’s very cute and definitely intentional on his part.

I associate the word “straphanger” with tabloid media. They have some words that they really like. It doesn’t really even make sense for NYC Because the subway doesn’t have straps.

I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.

(the other is Land of the Lustrous)

IMO the ideal thing to do for hamburgers, mac and cheese, and grilled cheeses (the three foods that I would consider using American cheese for) is this:

Half american cheese for meltiness, half gruyere or other aged flavorful cheese for flavor.

A lot of modern recipes suggest that approach and it has worked well for me.

Great article, thank you for sharing.

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

I wonder if his study was simply underpowered, and there may be a real but small effect.

An underpowered study is one that doesn’t get statistically significant results for a real effect because there is not enough data collected to distinguish between a small effect and random chance.

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.

Kingdom Hearts kinda had this with the Heartless (from a person’s heart) and the Nobodies (from a person’s body).

Headcanon: Trump is a Slitheen.

I don’t know the details of the situation in Poland, but Poland does have an 87% home ownership rate.
