I mean, lots of comparatively wealthy people are under some pretty horrible working conditions, so I don’t know that I would call the two tightly linked.

Sure, Foxconn should probably pay at rates that are livable for their workers, but the more acute problem is probably to not drive their workers so hard that they attempt suicide.

Is the problem really one of salary when it comes to the suicide nets?

Are the workers driven to suicide for the low pay, or is this actually a matter of horrifyingly bad working conditions?

I’ve been running the new UI in beta for several months now and I consider to be superior in basically every regard.

Fwiw, when it comes to evaluating UI updates, you have to actively suppress the part of your brain that doesn’t like change. Save impressions for after having used the new UI for a while, until the change disruption feeling has settled. Another tip is to always make sure to have concrete and objective issues to point out (i.e “it’s uglier” or “I dont’t like it” is unhelpful, while things like “this common interaction I have with the app is no longer possible/is now a click distance of N more clicks away”)

EDIT: This is about the new UI in Bitwarden on Android fwiw, if you’re talking about an update on another platform then disregard this post

It’s going to be significantly more than the year 33000 before we run out of 64-bit epoch timestamps.

The max value for signed 64-but epoch values is more than 292 billion years away, or 20 times the age of the universe itself.

So yeah, we’re basically solid forever with 64-bit

40 minutes is clearly in the range of doable walks, although if it were a commute I’d do it by bike every time which would shorten it down to 10 minutes, probably.

Is this an American problem that I’m too European to comprehend? If I forget to buy something at the store I literally just walk 4 minutes to the nearest store and buy whatever I forgot. Maybe I’ll even pick it up on the back home on my bike for even less of a time penalty.

Gotta make use of that Force Majeure-clause

Some forward thinking - which we all know is most definitely not a thing when it comes to suburban development patterns - would see these installed from the beginning to ultimately save money long term on maintenance and upgrades.

Since the suburbs are an unsustainable Ponzi scheme designed to cram as much money out as possible though, they will go for the cheapest up-front option, total lifetime cost be damned.

The municipality I lived in previously had a really interesting project where they were trying to improve the lifecycle of underground infrastructure.

Instead of digging up the ground, putting in/repairing something/whatever, and then covering it up, they were going to install a permanent ‘infrastructure tunnel’ which could have installations and repairs be done without digging up and covering.

If successful, this kind of seems like what the shipping container did to the shipping industry, an incredible efficiency play.

That seems like a great way to plug your own drains.

Also, I was under the impression that restaurants could sell their frying oil for recycling? This is a weakly held impression to be sure but I want to remember reading something about it.

On account of the election, you can basically be sure that passenger rail will not happen to any extent any time soon. Expect bigger cars and more highways instead, as this is what is outlined in Project 2025.

Incredibly bleak.
