Day length formula: (Did you know that it becomes a triangle wave at the (ant)arctic circle?)

For 30 years, productivity sky-rocketed with the advancement of automation and computing. Meanwhile, a decline in longevity was observed, correlated to sleep depravation. Productivity improvement goes to the owners class' pockets, sleep benefits the workers health.

For 30 years, productivity skyrocketed through automation, yet longevity plummeted as a direct result of sleep deprivation. While these gains accrue to the owner class, sleep remains an undervalued element of the worker's health. We are trading life expectancy for chump change.

i was under the impression life expectancy has been steadily increasing over the last century, where are these quotes from? and which date?

That said, in Canada working class started loosing life expentancy for the 3rd year in a row, and WHO figures show a decline in improvement of life expentancy globally. But hey, I am just a no-one on the internet spewing bs :)

a decline in the improvement of life expectancy isn't the same as a decline in life expectancy, it's just that it's improving less fast now, we might be reaching biological limits however?

We tought for years that there was a biological ceiling for sprinters or marathon runners for example, with research backing it, but every one record was shattered. I tend to be cautious of biological explanations.

I am pretty sure confience is what is at work in my case. Did you try something specific to improve in that regard?

…

Isn't the medical advancements in preventive medicine and accessibility to healthcare increases the life expectancy?

hey guys ☺️

Hi lacie

The more I use Terraform the more I don't like it. Can I just get the option to track state with Ansible?

Say more. I've been using it this year "at scale" and it sucks in the way that everything sucks when the whole company starts using it for everything. I haven't used Ansible in over a decade, but am curious what you like about it better.

Ansible just melds with my way of thinking better. I have a really hard time wrapping my head around nested loops in HCL and the overall "ugliness" of the language. Plus, I kind of like being in control of the order things are created.

The mental shape of a programming language resurfaces, and my mind craves writing programs in it. Array languages, concatenative, Lisps, Smalltalks.

What's happening

Useful software necessarily contacts the world; models are already better than us at finding and poking holes in it; agents sacrificing themselves for a collective. Huggingface incident has me finally Yudkowsky-panic-curious.

Economist Lant Pritchett describes shifts in ideas as silly, controversial, progressive, then obvious. Also: "Radio has no future. X-rays are clearly a hoax. The aeroplane is scientifically impossible." - Lord Kelvin ". No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." - CmdrTaco

I think I’m gonna read devil man crybaby, I’ve always heard of it..

Oops! Looks like that’s the name of the show -_- I’ll give both a shot

Bonnie Raitt stuck in my head, who, by some definition, is a nepo baby, but well before the term was coined. I think the problem is obv not family businesses, but a shrinking pool of opportunities for those without a prebuilt network to inherit (or buy).

This is another way to describe "increasing wealth inequality".

I always associate summer with the months June, July, August — thinking that end of August is end of summer — but no, 7th of August is actually summer midpoint, we’re in the middle now, not near the end.

Returned after a ride on bikes around the lake with the boy. Did stop for workout, 🏋️‍♂️ did pull-ups, push-ups and squats. Love the place we live in.

It’s the social network I so want to love but something about it feels off.

I never understood why they would allow you to follow different “feeds” but not hashtags. I like mastodon’s approach better.
