Agreed - the actual content reads more like "The mythical 10x programmer ... is me". ("many people told me that they believe I’m a very fast programmer... I’ll also use myself as a reference of coding things fast").

I don't mean to disparage Redis or the author, but the point needs to be made that seniority makes it a lot easier to be a "10x" programmer. First off, you have excellent knowledge of business requirements and PMs will listen to you; so it's relatively easy to redefine engineering tasks as you work on them ("killing 5% to get 90%"). Second, you're much less likely to be interrupted by someone who's decided you're working on a low-priority project ("focus"). Third, you probably get to decide what "programmer productivity" even means.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it leaves the pi in a ready-to-deploy stage. I just meant it lets you get into it so you can configure it, which you otherwise need a keyboard or wired NIC for.
Stick with your full-time job. Work on the startup after hours and on weekends. If and when you get the funding, think about leaving one for the other or continue to do both.

Imo, this is premature. You haven't raised money until you do. You don't have product traction and sales until you do.
That was a separate compiler. It would be as if someone took libtcc and made an IDE use it directly but also bundled the tcc binary for command-line builds.
The default rule for now is "change all instance of that word in the whole line".

We'll fine-tune that behavior with the feedback we'll have.
It's interesting to see this. If you asked me Americas biggest problems it would be that we spend an incredible amount of money in foreign wars, have mass incarceration, a healthcare system that is difficult to use and expensive, and that our education system is quickly falling being other countries.

The further back you go in this list you see things that we just accept as reality now.
Thanks for the feedback. I just pushed some fixes: Less symbols should get eaten, and a 'no results' found is now shown instead of the full box when nothing was found.

20? I recall going to Europe for two weeks in 2006 (BMW European Delivery). Didn't bother bringing my dumb-phone. Just had a camera. I drove 2000 miles around Western Europe, 6 countries, had zero hotel reservations before I left, and had no problems whatsoever. This was in April so just popping into a hotel and finding a vacancy was not a problem.
40 hour work weeks, for both parents, are discussed.

I am just describing the world only 30 years ago. A double income is almost a requirement now.

>That's not the definition of introvert at all, you're using it as a proxy to mean shy or even socially awkward. Introverts have sex and date too.

Huh? Don't be ridiculous: shy and socially awkward people have sex and date too. Just not as much as people who aren't socially awkward or shy, because they obviously have a more difficult time establishing a relationship. But it's not like they never do (well maybe some of them never do...).

You have a good point about some bad behavior coming from introverts (staring at chests, drunken propositions), but it's my allegation that this is very different from the harassment like we're seeing at places like Uber, where there's a rampant culture of harassment, and it's right out in the open. The introvert harassment you talk about is more individual and less obvious, not something egged on and cheered by the group. And as you point out, the introvert actions are defended by claiming ignorance ("I didn't know it'd make her uncomfortable"), whereas the Uber actions are at another level entirely (managers openly groping female employees--check out today's big news about Kay and Jared jewelers for stuff that makes even Uber look like saints).

The closed design and closed-source kernel blob are troublesome. We need a completely open source board design similar to the Pi that manufacturers are free to produce without licensing. We could have an organization that does QA and vets individual manufacturers for quality and compliance/conformance with the board's design. The RPi Foundation's choice to remain so closed-source is a bit confusing and puzzling, considering their non-profit and educational mission and goal.
I don't think "incredibly hard" is a good term.

In more development terms, to me, "incredibly hard" is embedded assembly programming (im probably not even using the right term for this) ...

The level of hard i would put DF at is "learning VIM"... which I think is apt, because 1) its a steep but rather short learning curve to get around, 2) over a while you naturally get better at navigating/commanding/etc and 3) there are plugins and "distributions" just like vim, to make it easier for a beginner, etc.

Now that I write this out, im thinking VIM is the perfect analog for DF :)

[NOTE] I'm a DF n00b. I have less than 5 hours playing. I'd say it took me about 30 minutes to "get it" though, and now I'm actually playing what I would consider "normally"
Please don't make a bad thread worse.
Because I am old now and am not as easily entertained by being in fantasy worlds all by myself any more, I can't handle it. But games like this that are either MMOs or small scale persistent worlds where you friends can join (like minecraft) are still really fun for me.. Building an amazing Dwarf Fortress would be much more fun if your buddies are in the world too.
I'm with you!

I know there's wallabag, but i always felt it was too hefty for self-hosting on, say, a small digital ocean vps. I've been using Shaarli [https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli] because its so lean, and easy/quick to set up...though admittedly it is also lean on features (which i'm cool with, but others might want more). My hope is that pocket - once made to be self-hostable - is easy and lean to self-host on a small vps.

...Though even if its not as lean and easy to set up, the fact that pocket will now/soon be added to the open source world is always a win!
See the Two Income Trap (TL;DR: there is limited housing in good school districts and there are limited places at good universities, so when it became possible to compete for these with two incomes, it gradually became the case that you had to have two incomes to compete for them, as prices were driven up) and the recent post on here about the bizarre cost disease affecting the West, and especially the US, making basically everything but imported cheap plastic/electronic crap cost more in real terms than it did the year before, every year, for the last few decades, including construction, infrastructure, health, and schooling.

There may also be something to do with globalization turning out to be not so much "rising tide lifts all boats" as "rising tide lifts the average elevation of all boats"; the latter is very different for someone working for a living in an already-affluent, globalizing state than the former.
Dwarf Fortress is an example of how a great idea can be held back by a horrible user experience. The UI is a nightmare, and the performance worsens as the game gets bigger.

I've recently started playing Rim World, which is essentially a Dwarf Fortress light. I'm enjoying it way more than I enjoyed Dwarf Fortress despite being a less complex (relatively speaking) game because it offers a FAR superior interface and presents it's mechanics in a friendlier way.
You know this could have been true then and now. That's how the curve would work.
This makes me think of when I was writing CGI web apps in Turbo Pascal 6.0 running on Windows 95 using AOLserver (I think) in 1995 or so. (Even back then I remember that it felt odd, like two worlds of computing colliding in an unexpected manner. This was just before I got into Linux/SunOS/Unix - perhaps mostly because it felt like it was the way to for the web backend, and the web obviously seemed like something to bet on.)

Turbo Pascal fealt great then (everything was coherent, relatively well-designed, speedy, etc), but after recently looking back at the code from then.. ehh.. we have better things now.

(Except perhaps in ease of getting started - for beginners.)
It may be instructional that I think learning VIM and DF is harder than assembly programming?

The only effect that will have is that you'll be working 7 days per week. That religious influence is - for once - actually a positive one. Quite a few bits of our social contracts have their root in ancient history and religion played a larger part back then then it does today (for most people, anyway).

That does not make them bad per-se, they should be looked at independent of their roots.

It's funny that I'm experiencing that exact transition at the company where I work, and it's not even that big yet.

I've carved out my little niche in the project pipeline and outside of that I read HN or Reddit.

There's a general lack of awareness of how dangerous an impact from a falling drone can be, especially with drones so easily obtained (and so easily disabled).

True, multiplication latency is a big high, 4 clocks basically in most recent Intel processors:

However 64 bit divisions is terrible at ~100 cycles per 64 bit division. It is true that the 32 bit division is much faster, but now that the target is 64 bit, the 64 bit divisions are very popular. It's something to take in mind when doing fast math... when 32 bits are enough and there are unavoidable divisions, use 32 bits integers.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough. If you never ship a "perfect" product, it has 0 value.

In the end, you provide value or you don't. The hardest thing about any product development is to stop taking things out or worse yet, keep adding things in. The top performers are usually the ones who can weigh these pros and cons almost immediately and force the product in a better direction.

We should absolutely kill the 40 hour week and replace it with a 30 hour week.

> the 40-hour work week doesn’t work anymore

Doesn’t work for who? What does “works” mean anyway? Maximizes efficiency for our employers? Why is that the question? What works for you? Why not ask what works to maximize your happiness and flourishing? What works for me is fewer working hours in the week (doesn’t matter what time of day it was that I logged them) and more time to do whatever I want, whether that's coding, walking a dog, reading or doing absolutely nothing. We went from 80 hour to 40 hour weeks 100 years ago, why is 40 to 30 such a stretch today?

> During the Industrial Revolution, factories needed to be running around the clock so employees during this era frequently worked between 10-16 hour days.
In the 1920s however, Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, decided to try something different: His workers would only work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

That is completely ahistorical! The 8 hour day was carved out from the 16 hour day and paid for in blood by a militant labor movement over several decades, not granted magnanimously by Henry Ford. You don’t have to consult obscure labor history to find that out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day

TBH i was thinking more in the lines of having the text editor associate source code lines with C functions and declarations so that the IDE can recompile only the bits changed while working in the code (something like a more advanced edit-and-continue).

But yeah, i do not see much effort going on in improving these areas. I think people are just used to "patchwork IDEs" and find them good enough.

There's a concept called 'first mover disadvantage'. None of these companies are idiots, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that they all knew of climate change decades prior to 1991. However the way our system prices externalities (very ineffectively) and focuses on rewarding quarterly earnings rather than a longer term approach creates a total and utter disincentive for any forward thinking CEO to make a big step away from the company's core markets.

We can hold Shell's feet to the fire on this sure, but that achieves nothing apart from disincentivizing self awareness within these large companies. What we need is a way to push the entire industry towards more environmentally sustainable practices not penalize them for talking about it.
As someone with an autoimmune disorder this is a poignant metaphor!

Because the amount of productive work hours most people get per week is realistically closer to 20-30. The rest of the time they are being paid for their presence. If the day's work is done at 11am, I hope you enjoy twiddling your thumbs until 5pm hoping something comes up for you to do. There's only so much of tomorrow's work that you can finish ahead of schedule (esp. if most of it is waiting on clients to get back to you at a later date).

Every individual in my department could work a 20 hour week and just as much work would be done. I know this because of the 1 hour smoke breaks that happen every-other-hour. They're already working 4 hour days, why not just make it official? I'm sure the employees would love having an additional 4 hours of personal time each day.

If it's your own startup, you're screwing your cofounder by being part-time. The number of times I've heard a variant of "and they'll come on fulltime later!" is huge, and something that at least some investors I know of look at as a warning flag.

If you're still in the mindset of "well, my corporate overlords will let me be tech lead for 3-5 years, and and and I'll get responsibilities and maybe even a career stepping stone" then you aren't in the right headspace to be part of a startup. Cut loose and let your friend find somebody who is mature enough (or dumb enough) to tackle that position of responsibility.

The pay and benefits will be waaaaaaay better, in all odds, sticking with the corporate job. You will grow a lot more and learn more seriously pursuing a startup, and nobody worth anything will think less of you if that's on your resume instead of a corporate gig.

I think the breakeven for a 200k full time employee would be maybe 80-85k for a 20h a week. Which is still enough to get by in many places.

Why do employers not want this? I can think of a few reason. Knowledge transfer is hard. Adding workers to a project always makes it slow down by a fair bit (as in less than linear scaling). So a project that has 1 40h person right now. How many 20h employees would it take to replace him? 3? 4? 5? Perhaps 5 20h employees could do a programming project to the level of 1 dedicated 40h employee. Which then means the actual "equal" pay for your 20h employee is more like 35k per year, not the 85k mentioned above.
