The issue is bridging the gap

Yes, but the irony is that we already have the bridges, it's just we keep jumping off of them at random places, thinking it's the other bank.

No, we should educate all devs and fix all broken time API's,...

wait, your solution seems far easier.

No, take tHe NeW jErSeY approach. Keep the implementation simple.

Everyone, everywhere on UTC.

• 7:00 - Everyone wake up at
• 8:00 - Everyone go to school/work 8:00 AM
• ...
• 21:00 - Everyone sleep.

We'll figure out the logistics as we go.

new order of monks

New Order of Monks, in short, NOOM

No wonder they never invented time machines to get to the future, if we're so keen on bullying them.

Think of it as you and your dog working on shifts.

When your dog works, you don't have to, but now it's your turn.

Can't help but think of a "senior dev" "explaining" (hing: brain-dumping) some bizarre reasoning why his unusable untested undocumented untyped API uses floats for item counts or something, and expecting the "junior dev" to just nod and keep that in their mind and adapt to it.

(Instead of making every possible excuse not to work with that API and instead doing something else where they can make some progress without going insane.)

If so many people weren’t leaving the field entirely due this issue (the chief complaint ALWAYS being under-staffing / low nurse-to-patient ratios, THEN pay), there would be plenty of nurses to go around

I think both can be true.

From expenses point of view, Isn't under-staffing almost the same thing as low pay? What's preventing hospital administrators from hiring more nurses? If it's just money, then I don't think the complaint of under-staffing all that different from the complaint of low pay; I suspect it's even affected by sort of preference (some nurses would prefer working more for better pay, others would prefer sharing the workload.)

Of course from administration / governance point of view it boils down to money, what I'm saying is that I find it unlikely is that it's "just hire more nurses". It's also doctors, other staff, etc. It's more likely the whole system.

There's no justification, it's part of a broken culture.

As a Czech citizen living in a city, I see it happening all around me. By far not for everyone, but for a lot of people treating trash properly is considered a fool's errand, virtual signalling, try-hard, you name it. This toxicity is unfortunately too common in the culture, and lot of people (including me) are just afraid or tired of being seen as a try-hard. It's especially "awkward" to clean up.

Obvious littering is one thing but I recon most of the trash floating around is due to "practical littering", where people, if trash cans are full, will just "neatly" place their beloved trash next to the can, kiss it goodbye and walk around as if wind does not exist. I'm probably too cynical but sometimes I imagine the same people going judgemental when they see trash caught up in bushes.

As for cigarette butts, that's just dumb. I don't think I've seen someone toss something like a plastic bottle or a bag on the ground, just like that, more than 5 times in my life, but with cigarette butts I see them all the time -- most often just before they jump on a tram or a bus. (I'm strongly against violence and bullying, but rationality aside, to be honest, there's a part of me that is wishing they had to pick it up and chew it.)

(Goddamn, about 2 weeks ago, someone must have left some balls of yarn outside, next to a trashcan, on straight street. I was walking to grocery shop and some kind of thread was unrolled along the pavement for, i kid you not, like 150m. It was bizarre. Could have been some serious TikTok/YTShorts material if someone wanted to make a "goody PSA".)

just hire more nurses

Look, I get your point, but it's not like nurses grow on trees. (Especially good nurses.)

Things need fixing, but they need fixing far earlier than that.

wait, why spinach? (text-only answer, please)

makes me think of the good ol't times when the air was cleaner, roads were safer and our bosses used to pay us in Thinkpads, not this "fiat money" nonsense.

hehe, FAX sounds like TCP ACK but waaay more rude.

You know, charts can lie, but with THAT crosshatch? Impossible.

i would love to be in that camp, fall is great, it's just too depressing that winter is coming soon.

few more summers like this one and i'll start getting depressed on Spring, because of looming Summer.

"If I asked people what they want, they would say, better AI"

MBA tech bro: "so ... that means what they really want is the same shitty AI, right?"

and the smarter ones can even look at two or more separate numbers

...also TTRPH, TTRPI, TTRPJ, TTRPK, TTRPL, TTRPM, TTRPN, TTRPO, TTRPP, TTRPQ, TTRPR, TTRPS, TTRPT, TTRPU, TTRPV, TTRPW, TTRPX, TTRPY and TTRPZ games.

But beyond that, no good use, no siree.

Even in areas where they would fit it's really annoying how some companies are trying to push it down our throats.

It's always some obnoxious UI element, screaming at me their 3 example questions, and I always sigh and think, "I have to assume you can only answer these 3 particular questions, and why would I ask those questions, and when I ask UI questions I expect precise answers so would I want to use AI for that."

I have no doubt that LLM's have more uses than I can think of, but come on...

I'm happy for studies like this. People who are trying to smear their AI all over our faces need to calm, the f..k, down.

I can’t think of a game right now that I would want to play so much that I would be willing to install Windows.

Oh, I actually can. Gnomoria. Which is like 10 years old, unfinished (pretty much playable, though) but AWESOME indie , dwar-fortress-inspired colony sim, does technically have Linux build, but the Linux build has a horrible bug where it corrupts your save after getting to a certain advanced point in the game. For that one, my dear beloved Gnomoria, I actually ended up installing Windows 10 in a KVM a year or so ago :-D.
