brave post for not using your throw away account.
One general piece of advice that stuck with me after reading "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" (a cognitive therapy book) is to refrain from thinking in inherent categories about myself. Thinking "I'm a slow developer" is just depressing and sad - there is nothing much you can do about your inherent flaw. By contrast, thinking "I've done this task slowly" puts you in a problem-solving mood. Something like "Wow, I've actually shipped, that's great! Now, it took me a bit more time than I've anticipated. Does it really matter? If it does, what can I do about it?"

Also, a lot of this is just management trying to put pressure on the devs using methods more appropriate for a kindergarten. I vividly remember my former boss telling me "you are going to put down the team and have a bad conscience if you don't finish this feature on time" (an arbitrary deadline caused by a looming performance review). He was a good boss, but I would have more appreciated an honest "look, I'm trying to get you a raise so finishing this feature by this date is in our mutual interest" without any kind of moralizing shit.

In my case, FWIW, I used an IMAP-compatible mail client (Outlook), and dragged my crud from one mailbox to the other. I did have some issues where mail conversations where different messages were under different labels ended up in not copying fully over, but that's partly because I migrated section by section.

Also, of course, note that if you have a mail message under two Gmail labels, and use IMAP to copy your folders, you'll probably end up with two copies of that message.

Migrating out of Gmail, FWIW, is still a pain because they are so nonstandard now.

But I never had an issue with the dates on the emails.

I have been working on a flying car project for years and can guarantee you that one/two seat Electrical VTOL is at least 30 years away, battery density must triple and then you have regulations.

You can source many if not most building materials from the environment wood can be chopped and made into lumber and plaster can be made out of local deposits.

If you have some sort of a mobile house factory that will utilize local materials and 3D print the rest you really only need to worry about a few materials that can't be locally sourced.

Yes this is far away but about as far as flying cars.

Heck In 2 decades you might order a house on amazon a blip will come and set it down some roomba style bots will come out and finish it and you'll jump into your flying car and move in.

When you can 3D print almost anything including your food and produce electricity locally via wind and solar you can now live in the middle of nowhere Alaska without much infrastructure.

> The Chinese gov promises arent credible, and something isn't a sure thing until they really do it.

It's a first step. I think that this is slightly different from either of those because

a.) the money in this industry and the number of people depending on it is only a fraction of those of coal mining

b.) people will never need ivory the same way they need organs

Even though they do have a long way to go, promising that they will do something about it is the first step.

But that's mitigated by the fact that the failure modes and much, much worse.

I can drive safely at highway speeds with a couple hundred feet of separation between cars.

FAA rules on safe separation between planes laterally is about 3 miles, or about 50 times the distance, or 2500 times the surface area.

Plus planes compete with one another for access to airports, so you haven't actually solved any congestion issues -- the bottleneck is still near the ground.

Can other hackers comment on the $30K/week figure?

That number seems _excessively_ high. Having seen what top-tier lawyers and McK/BCG/Bain consultants charge, that rate seems almost absurd. Patrick is a celebrity amongst the HN set, but I don't think he has the cachet/reputation/prestige to get away with those "rack" rates with F500 executives.

This reminds me of of that recent indiehackers article posted here where they extrapolated one weeks of revenue to some absurd ARR figure.

Not sure what it's like in the US, but in Canada this isn't some magical easy way to escape liability. The accounting, tax burden and how you draw a salary changes significantly when you incorporate. Not to say it isn't worth it, but it isn't as simple as "do it".

I have a 4th gen X1 Carbon with Ubuntu and everything has worked fine. Even the functional buttons like screen brightness and volume work for me.

On the other hand, the palm detection does not work or is just terrible because I find myself constantly randomly tapping or moving the cursor when typing. Indeed it's moving around as I type this.

I ended up just disabling tap to click which I actually love using, but besides that it's great. I definitely long for the day when Linux touchpad support will match OS X's. Still, I really like the keyboard and the little nub thing is pretty awesome too, although I haven't really gotten used to using it.

My list is pretty much the same—for an introvert who values deeper relationships with fewer people, the cons aren't too bad. And being a meetup organizer for two different meetup groups means I'm forced (a good thing for an introvert) to see other people in the area who work in the same area.

I've been working 100% remote for 5 of the past 10 years, and part-time remote the other 5, and in none of this time have I gone stir-crazy or felt depressed about my work... some people are able to thrive in a remote/isolated environment (I still do video calls 2-4x a day for different projects, so it's not like total isolation), while others really need a group of people working with/around them to thrive.

It also helps to have a family or more than one other person living in your residence if you choose to remote work from home—it forces you to have face-to-face human interaction (to the extent you choose to put down smartphones, laptops, etc. outside of work hours).

m7510. I bought it off the Dell Outlet. Same three year NBD on-site warranty, lower price, a green sticker on the bottom saying it's refurbished.

http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/22/campaigns/outlet

It's the third time I've bought a machine from the outlet and I've always been satisfied. I had spec'd out a base m7510 with Ubuntu, 70% gamut touchscreen, larger battery, and lighted keyboard. This one came up with the IGZ0, Windows 10, 4GB Quadro 2000, i7-6820HQ instead and was a bit less money. The base unit was still a good machine.

The 5510's are more Macbook like...slimmer, limited expansion, less powerful CPU's and graphics cards at the top end of the line (slim light cases limit thermal capacity).

The 7000 series are heavier and support ECC RAM and have four DIMM slots and can accomodate a conventional SATA drive plus an M42 x 80. For me heavy is relative. My first three laptops were 7 pounds, 6.5 pounds, and 8.5 pounds. The first one was light, the second was about a pound over light, and the third was svelte for a 17".
There are lots of reasons people choose not to seek jobs. A person can just look at their parents, decide they don't have the fortitude or attitude to integrate into the sarariman lifestyle, and rationally opt out.

Emotional Journey of Creating Something Great
Why is that the most likely reason?

I'm pointing out that irrational acts of violence - whether homicide or suicide - are made more prevalent and lethal in the presence of cheap, abundant weaponry. As a result of the 37 mass shootings that have occurred during the last administration, gun sales have hit record levels[0], and following from that, homicide rates have increased. I'm connecting the dots in this way, you are connecting the dots in another.

You are making an assertion that there is a negative impact of "recent criticism of police" and that it has directly led to this outbreak of homicide. What criticism, specifically? By which groups, specifically? And what should be done about it, specifically?

A 3 mile horizontal radius has little to do with flying and a lot to do with speed.

Still lacking any evidence that voting machines were hacked or any part of the electoral process was hijacked. The worst damage? Emails related to the actual rigging of the Democrat Party primaries and the collusion of the media with the Democrat party. Its very hard for me to believe that a state actor is behind such seemingly altruistic actions. Voters saw the worst of Trump and Clinton and choose the lessor of two evils. Wikileaks and "the Russians" simply provided a level playing field.
> how well they've cited their sources, how much other trustworthy people trust them, etc

That sounds to me like a "regard to how they reached those conclusions" (maybe a regard to how they reached a subset of their conclusions, and extrapolating to the rest). It's not the most regard you could possibly have, but it's lots.
Of course I don't believe these countries demise is caused by longer working hours. I know Italy a bit more than Greece and the main problem there is decades of widespread corruption at all levels of society.

There are various solutions to compile times in C++ that have been talked about at length over the years. Lakos' book from 1996 talks about this.

In fact, a lot of modern software engineering guidelines come from working around C++'s built in shortcomings.

Use things such as the Pimpl idiom to help linking. Modular libraries rather than big-ball-of-mud, do you really need to recompile world+dog each time? Top-down includes, and no relative includes, isolating your code. In fact go-lang does exactly this.

The trouble is that in C++, fast compile times need to be designed into the code base and often enforced by scripts. I don't think that there's any other language that requires so much 'non-language' engineering as C++.

Rust actually has this, this works:

fn main() {
let x = 5i32;
let y: i64 = x.into();
println!("{}", y);
}

this doesn't work:

fn main() {
let x = 5i32;
let y: i16 = x.into();
println!("{}", y);
}

you have to write:

fn main() {
let x = 5i32;
let y = x as i16;
println!("{}", y);
}

where `as` has the potential of being lossy!
Looks interesting, good luck with it. I don't have anything much concrete to add to what I last said, but I do think visual programming is still an unexplored space.

But then again, I have fairly low social needs.
