It's quite possible to break the Internet by blanket-blocking core Google IPs[1]. I tried blocking these in my firewall and my surfing sessions became really slow. I would much prefer things like uBlock which do it at the browser level and it doesn't cause a lag.

This is usually because if you're resolving domains to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 in hosts then there is an inbuilt timeout as localhost is typically not running any services.

Best to make localhost run a service. A personal thing I use is lighthttpd[2] which ensures such a lag is vanished

I can agree with Spooky23. Financial firms in general seem to have career progression well defined and progression timelines are almost written in stone. In fact, it's usually an "up and out" atmosphere where if you are falling behind the promotion timeline, you should probably be looking elsewhere.

Good for you. I used to want the big payoff myself too, but have come to set a similar goal to what you've ended up with.

£1m may not be "enough" in the UK, depending on how you want to live, but it's not that far off even in the UK if you structure your life accordingly (I recently reviewed my finances, and realised I spent more on trivial luxuries than what I used to live off total 10-15 years ago..).

In any case, it's "close enough" even in the UK - at least outside of the most expensive areas -, that it can get someone that big step from depending on a job to being able to take work now and again or pick more fulfilling options that might not be able to pay the bills on their own.

If you're in tech, as well, there's a lot of flexibility in picking up occasional well paid contracts. I just took on a contract from a guy in a similar position who'd just randomly travelling and doing contracts now and again to replenish his funds, who left the contract in question because he's going to spend 6 months somewhere he can't depend on getting an internet connection...

For my part I'm working my ass off at the moment, largely because I finally see an end-goal of a "modest" early "retirement" like yours in sight. For my part, I'll probably still keep "working", as I enjoy a lot of what I do, but there's a huge difference between "working" on projects that feel like you're playing and where there's no pressure to make it pay off, and having to deliver or not be able to pay the bills...

Thank you!

Yes, I do understand that folly regarding money. Money tends to bend reality, there are many psychological experiments done with money,

for instance: spending physical money induces more pain than spending money using a card, that's why it is recommended to carry cash around the next time we do shopping (read this in a book Thinking Fast and Slow and observed in real life)

I know you aren't trying to remove that pleasure from my life! But the thing is, after open sourcing my tutorial, it has been read thousands of times, and there have been 4-5 readers who went out of their way and communicated to me how much they loved the book and in the words of one reader on HN, "it is one of the best tutorials I have read" regarding webapps in Go.

It is a humbling experience for me to hear this from someone else (who isn't my best friend :D)

It is a great irony that while documentation is free, books are not.

Plus, I am not an author, writing tutorials/books isn't my primary source of income, although I was thinking of keeping the Vue book/tutorial open source on github, it already is, http://github.com/thewhitetulip/intro-to-vuejs/ and charging money for the PDF, most probably I won't be doing that, let's see.

Thanks for your input!

If this didn't work 5 years ago with Ballmer, when he should've done exactly that instead of pushing the useless "Do Not Track" thing by default, then it's definitely not going to happen under Nadella, who is filling Windows 10 with all sorts of tracking and ads.
Sure, I agree that most people aren't doing work that they would do for free.

I don't think that's true for most wealthy people. By and large, every wealthy person I know is working on things they find deeply interesting and challenging. The problem is with people (who have to work to live) assuming that people who don't have to work to live are working in the same kind of roles just due to some social pressure.
This makes very little sense. The author shows a fsync() benchmark comparing an actualy fsync (Pixel on ext4 without nobarrier) with a nobarrier (no-op fsync) alternative. The only thing this benchmark shows is that a no-op is faster than the real thing.
We use it to distribute public and private key pairs. The aptly-named "public" and "private" folders are quite convenient for such things.
I'm a fan of extremely selective news following - having tested, it makes me much happier and has very little negative effect - but it comes with an important corollary: if you're going to avoid a topic, it's very important to also understand that means you don't know much about it.

I make rather a point of saying "I don't know much about that" when the topic of current affairs that I'm not following come up.

Then again, that's partially because when I do want to know about something, I tend to deep-dive on it (https://medium.com/im-trying-to-fact-check-brexit). And it's largely because many of my friends are spectacularly highly informed on anything they're likely to comment on, and so any time I do slip and attempt to sound informed on something I'm not, I have about a 50% chance of sounding like a complete idiot.

So this may be much easier to do in my social circle.
This is what happens when statistics educators teach frequentism.
> Farming could go on without fertilizer, heavy machinery, gasoline for said machinery, for sure...and yields would go down, indeed very much by "a bit". Definitely "a bit" for some definition of a "a bit". I mean if you want to argue a pre-1900 lifestyle is sustainable without all that then I agree...

Look at Gabe Brown and Joel Salatin for how productive farming can be without (or with huge reductions in) fuel use. I think they managed to use 90% less fuel while still producing a lot of food. Necessity is the mother of invention.

If you can reduce fuel inputs by 90% and fertilizer completely (and most/all pesticides) then you can get by on very turn of the century amounts of oil; the easy oil that's near to the surface perhaps only a few hundred feet down. Most refineries aren't in the middle of big cities since they take up so much space, so those would keep working. You don't need fancy project managers and reservior engineers when the oil is so close to the surface either. So lacking them wouldn't destroy the economy.

> Anyways, you aren't as bad of a "rural pride" fellow

I'm not really "rural pride" either, despite your assertion. I just understand what space in the value chain (or society, call it what you want) I occupy. I've always lived in cities or towns.

Would things be weird for farmers for a while if all the city dwellers suddenly vanished? Sure! Absolutely. They'd have far fewer buyers for sure.

But suggesting that farmers need city dwellers for humans to continue to exist is like thinking that compiler writers need the people that use compilers. Compiler programmers could do their work just fine without everyone writing web apps and the world would keep turning. But if the compiler writers went poof, I assure you that the web app folks would have a much harder time.
> I don't really have any stock in whether the perception is a reality or not, so I'm willing to be persuaded.

Apple said it was their best laptop launch by sales volume ever. (Although that is partially due to such a long wait from their previous model.) Honestly I'm not that surprised - despite all the hate online I know 2-3 developers who bought them on or near launch day and several others who started salivating when mine arrived. The public internet opinion seems shockingly disconnected from that of everyone I've spoken to in person about it. Although, doing mostly web development more than 16 gigs just isn't important for me or my coworkers. My last laptop had 8 and it was more than fine.

Most people are much more curious about the touchbar (its a bit gimmicky), the screen (gorgeous but no touch-based scroll in browsers sucks) and the price (yowch!). I get a few comments both ways about the new charger (oh cool no more proprietary connecters!) (whaaat no magsafe? Boo!).

Oh, and being a Gen1 apple product there's all sorts of dumb stability problems - which is a much bigger problem than the ram! My touchbar has been glitching out sometimes and the whole system has hard-crashed a half a dozen times since getting it from connecting and disconnecting my 4k monitor. I'll be very disappointed if the software doesn't improve over the next few months.
This is my current view as well, I just add tests to it.

Junior: doesn't know how to create tests for their code

Mid: Creates the tests but leaves some important parts untested or tests have bad practices.

Experienced: Creates the right tests but might overdo.

Senior: Tests only the stuff that matters and knows when it's not worth it.

I also confounded identity & work and burned vacation time with stress and anger. I've also quit, though not able to go into the wilderness, at least in the natural park sense. Not working, as mentioned in the article, brings about its own form of wilderness.

Reminds me, I once tried a 36 hour day routine. What drove me nuts and eventually to quit was not eating lunch at noon everyday.
Actually, the Economist has about 400 reporters for a 50 page weekly magazine, about 8 per page, so they do have enough people to include experts for all those fields.

The times I read an Economist article about my country or my line of work the coverage was actually very good, but your milage may vary.
Yes, even I was unaware of this, it was after meeting a lady who lived in Latur that I realized that we have a smart grid working. They have to install solar panels, use electricity and if excess is generated they can sell it to the grid

although, I will say, not a lot of people are using it because of the cost. Money and cost are interpreted in a funny way in India, you ignore it when you do what you like and tend to think too highly of it when you do something you don't want to do.

For instance, a typical Indian lady would go xx km to get a short discount on clothing, they'll spend more $ on fuel as compared to the savings they'll get due the the discount, but that's fine. When it comes to installing solar, which will pay itself out within a few years, "no, it costs a lot of $$". It is here that we face deadlock, unless everyone else does it, we don't do it.

One positive highlight I'd like to do is that most of India uses solar water heater, at least we have that. Plus with Tesla, I hope we get to a point where solar panels are cheap, and we can store a lot of electricity and not require special cabling for the solar electricity, everything should be a drop in replacement, plus, solar panel prices are said to drop steeply.

We are living in interesting times!

Set up a meeting with endusers in one of our training labs and tell them they can complain about whatever they want. Then walk them through a 15-minute set of steps for whatever change we're going to roll out.

Not only do you get great feedback on the product as a whole, they'll inevitably find ways to break your new thing within five minutes. Literally a few hours of two analysts' time and you might avoid dozens if not hundreds of man hours spent fixing things. It was beautiful. And just like you said... the customers are amazed that you want them to complain. They love it.
Solar, wind, hydro and grid scale battery storage are all heavily skewed towards CAPEX, not sure where you got the idea that climate change solutions have high OPEX.

A carbon tax doesnt make everything more expensive if you give the money straight back to the citizens which is what we did in Australia before it was overthrown by our current government. Everybody earning under $80k and using an average amount of energy was financially better off under the carbon tax.

Nope. Not even close.

With hobbies, I can start and stop them as I choose. My livelihood is not bound to the requirement that I do X to get money $Y.

If I want to do the hobby of "drink whiskey and watch all of netflix", so be it. If I want to take up surfing, awesome. Or if I want to dabble in the arts, there's noone to stop me. My hobbies would bounce around as to what's interesting, fun, or neat stuff to do.

Right now, what stops me, is that I am working class. I have to work in order to live. 40 hours a week is "theirs", and I have the rest of time to eat, sleep, and do whatever else.

(Edit: and wow, the stockholm syndrome is strong. So many people, trying to reclassify what work is and isn't. And then saying, oh yeah doing something is work. We're not talking work in the physics sense here, but in the capitalistic sense of "if you no workey, you no eaty and no livey".)
Have you ever checked out Reddit's https://Reddit.com/r/keto keto subreddit? The keto-flu is a known & expected phase that matches the "anxiety and headache" thing.

Afterwards you feel great, virtually never hungry, & weight melts off.
Actually, yes. At work we have a Nexus 6 testing device. It started off strong but a few months ago it started lagging badly on videos. It even struggles with gif length mp4s. The problem is notable because it is the only phone with this problem. Even our old Galaxy S4 performs better.

Most of the people I know who intensely dislike the Mainstream Media (MSM, for anyone confused by the acronym) are either left-leaning or liberal-leaning.

As a side note, I know precisely zero people who I would describe as "moderate" on the left-right spectrum who are at all enthusiastic about the state of 2016's news media. Of all political groups, I'd say that they're the most likely to be critical of the mainstream media.

Let's say you're a penetration tester, you're on-site trying to break into a network, have no Internet connectivity (e.g. because you're in a shielded data center or don't want to raise suspicion) and need to crack some passwords. 5x Skylake CPU + 5x Polaris GPU would be a sufficiently beefy platform for Hashcat, and it would fit into your backpack.

Or let's say you want to quickly set up a Hadoop cluster to crunch some data.

Five machines is certainly small as HPC clusters go, and in reality you'll probably have to cap this to four machines because you need one port to attach to a power socket if you need the cluster for more than 2-3 hours. Nevertheless the 4x 40 GBit/s Thunderbolt ports offer some really interesting possibilities, and I'm not aware of any other portable machine that has this right now.

When I did support for a university we very specifically could turn down items (mostly laptops) that were too grody to work on. Most of the techs used their own keyboards and mice regardless but still... some people are pretty abusive to their hardware (gunk, stains, very clear food spills, etc).

Though I guess the SOP wasn't to say "ew get that out of here" but rather "here's some wet wipes can you please wipe it down we make everyone do this" which wasn't even remotely true.

I read a great article a few months ago talking about how success as a developer could be looked at from a more wholistic POV which I agree with quite a lot these days.

It breaks down the "title" mentality into smaller responsibilities across three areas: Technical Skills, Leadership and Community Involvement. You can fairly easily isolate what your company values from employees in these three groups and measure any individuals performance inside each group to weigh them accordingly. I think it would work very well with peer-review processes as well.
