I think a work-life balance lens works well here.
The guy on the right appears to be a better team-mate, that will always give it their all, even if it means hunger.
The guy on the left seems more chill as a room-mate. Which explains my preference for the natural look as a guy.
I think of truth like π. Some people say its 3, others 3.14, others 3.1415
There is a trade off between energy expended vs accuracy needed vs accurately communicating, but the de-referenced concept is not a matter of human perspective. Coordinating truth is why we have standards and protocols to build on.

I think of the modern developer being more like a shepherd rather than a builder now. You have to vibe with the machine, but you need to make sure they stay on easy terrain and give them structure instead of letting them simply free graze.
I think design patterns should be more descriptive, but people try to use them prescriptively.
Being able to say "circuit breaker" pattern or "visitor" is a time efficient way to communicate complicated ideas. Its value is being able to conserve the limited bandwidth speaking has.
Bad coders will always find something or another to justify their work with and it just so happens the most popular book is often referenced, for good and bad.
It depends on your view point and the model you are making.
Generally it will be your cost of capital to be used as a discount rate. Say if you borrow at 10%, then you need account for that every year you need to wait for that return.
A company with access to cheap capital can use a lower discount rate, and come up with higher net present value based on distant cash flows compared to a company that needs to pay a lot.
Net present value is a normalization measure.
I was waiting for a while, but then I found there was a page where if you selected "I want to build plugins" then you would have never seen the option to request them.
Once I filled that in I got access within a few days.

If you are the person to say: "I am a developer and want to build a plugin"
Then it is likely you missed the option to request which plugins you want access to.
The way I see it is that the market participants job is to allocate capital effectively, not function as a savings account. Shorting provides incentive to sniff our frauds and enhances yields for those with fixed liabilities in a low interest rate environment.
Furthermore, not all short sellers are evil. While some short sellers may have ill intentions, short sell have researched and exposed many fraudulent companies effectively embezzling funds.
I don't agree short selling should be banned, but I agree the already illegal practice of naked shorting should be enforced in a more meaningful manner.
If people can lend out dollars for interest, than I think lending out shares should be allowed as well. If banks can lend out deposits and collect fees that seems to be the same thing as lending out equities as well. Do you see some delineation between these practices?
I agree shares shouldn't be lent out the holder permission, but if you want a consistent amount of money every month, no matter what, then those small fees really add up. This is what most retirement funds are obligated to provide, and they can no longer get it in government debt.
This might also be a perspective thing. I have a very different view on the function of markets than you seem to have. A market primary job is to allocate resources effectively, not provide entitlements to passive participants. The market doesn't exist to pump what ever positions you might be long, its meant to reward effective use of capital while preventing ineffective use.
Vanguard, the company behind those funds exerted a lot of pressure on the industry by offering those for such low fees. There are still lots of other funds that charge high fees to this day though.
I am not sure about specific ETFs, but some of them will lend out their shares to make up for the no fees though.
Additionally from a cooperate governance point of view the ETFs will generally vote for whatever management recommends. If the majority shareholder of a company is an ETF then management doesn't have meaningful oversight.
If you don't want to follow a bunch of companies than Vanguard funds are probably a good choice though.
Its a fair view to have, but Microstrategy did disclose the plan to shareholders and offered to buy them out with a premium to the market before buying. So you had the chance to get out if you didn't agree with the decision.
I also went through this as my first project in Rust. I thought it was a good first project.
I thought it was going to be a post about a service outage.
I am sure it stops a significant portion of people opening them still. I'd really want to take one apart before going through the hassle of buying special tools.
Kinda like how companies makes unsubscribing hard, not impossible.
This reminded me of Paul Graham's Python Paradox:

Seems like Python is now in the camp of Java now given the current trends.
Having a static site and pushing to github pages is working pretty well for me.
I feel like this is covered already. Before I start coding I will always draw out diagrams of the components visually, where as the code is the details to make it actually work.
Using box and arrow diagrams for documentation can give you a lot of these benefits without needing to adopt a radically new paradigm.
With many years of practice and study.
I think actually teaching people is a great way of getting mastery at something. If you teach people and they get good results you can be confidant you know enough about the subject.
While imposter syndrome might be uncomfortable, I think its generally trait that helps someone become a good developer. By realizing you don't know everything you are more inclined to continually improve your knowledge.
I think teaching and writing are also good ways of getting over it. Once you explain a concept to people you will know you don't have gaps in your knowledge to arrive at a working understanding.
I think of it as a feeling everyone feels at some point if they care about doing a good job. If you never feel it, you are probably playing it too safe and aren't growing as fast as you could be as a result.
It seems like a kid should be more important than being the best worker imo. Seems like sensible priorities. I don't have a kid though.
Seems like the problem isn't the lack of blogs, but ways to find new ones.
Kinda weird reading a blog post about no blog posts, like it being read disproves its point a little bit.
I think they are there as long as you know where to look.
"Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network."
Seems like an successful experiment to me. I am excited to see what next gen tech in this space will bring.
What about when an algorithm shows someone an ad to make them buy something? News feed algorithms control some peoples thinking imo.
I recommend getting a good text book and working through that. That gives you a through overview so you don't miss certain areas. I can't recommend any for particular subjects, but make sure you choose wisely. Try to find the one everyone refers to.
I agree with you, but I think there is enjoyment in getting a deep understanding of one area and having a plan can help you do this. Instead of walking around it can be fun to climb a mountain or go for an over night hike.
For example if you want to get stronger having a workout plan can help you get that goal. Going to the gym and do whatever will keep you in shape and if that keeps you motivated that's great, but some are motivated by doing something they can't do right now.
There isn't an inherent cost to that fee. Whatever crypto does central processors can do cheaper.
The school admitting the student should co-sign the loan. If the school is confident in the value of their program they should assume the risk.
Have you heard of matrix? Your description reminded me of it. Its a open source instant messaging service that is protocol driven. Perhaps a bit less ambitious in scope that what you are describing, but seems to be a step in that direction at least.
