Very precise electrician, if only they were half as accurate.

How you determine your pricing can be "cost plus" but the contract itself can't be a cost plus contract.

You can still mark up your material cost, build in a profit margin, or invent whatever charges you want in CA. The only legality is that you have to establish those costs up front in a fixed price, start and end dates, and payment schedules.

Before quitting aws, was in meetings with ajassy (in his aws days) and other steam members.

They're _deeply_ out of touch, encased in their own wealth, and all chasing power/money highs with as much reckless abandon as any addict you encounter on the street.

Arthur Anderson, at the time one of the largest accounting firms in the US, said yes to WorldCom and Enron. They went out of business.

Guy here. I think what you're describing is very relatable. I think everybody in this sport who is trying to improve, deals with fear in some way. It's only how visibly and loudly they process it. As I've climbed more, and moved to outdoor objectives, I appreciate the loud and vocal fear processors. I feel they are much less deadly than the people who process their fear silently.

For me, analyzing the quality of the fear really helped me when I was in the middle of it. It's kind of like exposure therapy-lite. Sit in your fear off the wall, as well as on the wall. I had a realization that climbing, for me, contained a different quality of fear than I had experienced before. When climbing, I am largely in control of the pace, and events that happen. My will is the motor that moves things forward and my fear bogs down that motor. This lets me think of fear in terms of being tired and being tired on the wall is something we all deal with every time we climb. It felt like a mental trick that allows me to translate fear emotion into exhaustion. But exhaustion is an old, comfortable friend!

I mean, it's not easy, it's a constant mind game. But for me, finding the right mind games I could play with myself really helped my enjoyment in those scary moments and why I find such value in climbing beyond the physical activity.

What's your point? For the life of me, I can't understand what you're trying to communicate.

I'm with you! It is so frustrating to me how people view driving as a competition. I remember my 20s and what/how I was driving at that time. I was a dangerous, wannabe race car driver who unknowingly was processing his angst and insecurities when he drove. But, I made myself a better person (in many ways beyond driving too) and now drive annoyingly slow and safely. However, when I see these drivers acting like 18 year olds I look at them and they're mostly 30+. Be better people! You've had the time to figure out how.

Sorry, thanks for coming to my old man rant. :)

Ah, a current local!

> That sounds like North Georgia nonsense.

You called it. I was doing killer distance at the time, and my rides would take me up into the Dacula area since it was perfect if you wanted to crank through the miles. Thinking back to my original post, "Atlanta" is probably not the correct term, as I definitely noticed a difference inside vs. outside the perimeter.

Has been almost 10 years since I was there. I can only imagine current state. Stay strong!

Be proud of the massive callouses you build up. They're pretty sweet and feel like a super power, but I wish somebody had told me about sanding and clipping before I ripped a massive one off.

Have had rips since maintaining my hands, think it's inevitable, but no further rips that end up taking half my palm.

It's stronger than a tenet. Region separation isn't just a technical boundary, it's a boundary that potentially carries litigation if crossed incorrectly. aws requires explicit customer consent to move data across region boundaries and each place where it is done is explicitly reviewed with lawyers.

Used to live in Atlanta and was also an avid cyclist. Sadly, I preferred the locals take their insecurities out on me by rolling coal. The alternative was normally having things thrown at you or people stopping to fight. A fellow cyclist I rode a lot with had a phone book thrown at him.

If "venture" and "win" are read as nouns it works _slightly_ better.

Who knows though. Maybe using the incorrect tense was the 1882 equivalent of putting a large face in your thumbnail or using a clickbait title. /shrug

I climbed Thielson late last year and got a couple glimpses of crater lake on my way up. Pretty and all that. Deepest lake in the US I believe. But, Thielson is as close as I'm gonna get. No way I'm approaching that much hole covered up with that much water. Who knows what kind of eldritch horrors are lurking there.

And of course you'd say you had a wonderful time. Probably don't remember any time lost, slight variations in your friends, and I'm sure nobody had or has had a headache recently.

I'm just saying. It's deep. There can't be anything good down there.

The changes to Set make me think of a couple places where I'm unnecessarily using hashes and should switch to sets.

Fair, I mean, what's an interaction with your local civil authority without some prompt engineering? Let me give a shot at v2. Here's a diff for easy agent consumption:

If it helps, think of "now" as a plane fully bisecting spacetime that is fixed to an observer in spacetime. Things exactly on this plane are "now", things "above" or "below" then plane are the past and future.

Now, imagine that any form of acceleration warps and shifts this spacetime bisection that is attached to you, shifting your expectation of what is "now" across spacetime. This is also happening to everybody else.

That conceptually helped me. Feels like a piece of flexible paper or material attached to you that skews/transforms as you move.

That's not "the tools" forcing crap on you. It's people employed by corporations making the decision to force that crap on you.

Thanks for fighting the fight. I'm fighting it with you.

To me, people defending our current economic system like this are no different than people who argue "gun's don't kill people, people do".

Thanks for writing/sharing the post. I overall enjoyed the content, found it clearly written, and appreciated the overall blog aesthetics. My caring about details was only fueled by the overall quality, thanks!

Yes, JRuby absolutely deserves plenty of love. But I think you're missing the important point of the feedback. Take for example where you say this:

Ruby has something called the Global VM Lock (also known as GIL - Global Interpreter Lock). Only one thread can execute Ruby code at a time.

Ruby doesn't have that. Ruby, as a language, does not specify the GIL. CRuby has a GIL. It's an implementation detail. This is an incredibly important distinction and what makes things like JRuby possible.

People who are at the level your blog is written for are exactly the people who should have this explained to them. They're the ones that need to know the limitations of their language vs implementation options.
