Profession: software engineer, building SaaS and mobile apps, as well as part-time contracting (remote)

[04:00] wake up (I only need 6h of sleep; attempted uberman sleep schedule in the past but incompatible with social life first time around, with family life in recent years)

[04:05] drink water, meditate, blue light therapy in winter months, drink green tea, read personal email, check the weather and comics (avoid the news); look at plan for the day (prepared in the evening)

[04:30] make latte, go to standing desk in home office, work on SaaS, email communication with my dev+sales team, focus on marketing

[06:30] greet and gently wake wife and two daughters (ages 8 and 2); tell them what weather to expect, so they dress appropriately; prepare breakfast table for everybody: fresh fruits, nuts, berries

[06:45] return to SaaS work

[07:40] exit home office, load daughters into car, drive to their two schools (switching to single school in the Fall, 5-minutes away from home), listening to audiobook of their choice, or classical music; yell at dangerous drivers

[08:30] back to home office; switch to (remote) contracting work, read business email once, eat quick lunch away from desk; regularly step outside to breathe and appreciate nature (pull weeds, sit in the sun, observe plant growth); check HN front-page twice, in case there is something relevant to my streams of work (open tabs for delayed reading)

[15:00] pick up one or other daughter from school; twice a week, aikido practice at dojo with elder daughter, otherwise return home, leisure time with wife and daughters

[17:00] prepare dinner, usually grilling, enjoy a glass of wine with wife, listen to daughter's wild stories, insist on proper table etiquette, abandon all pretense of control

[18:30] put daughters on path to bed, laugh, read books, insist on personal routines

[19:30] clean up kitchen, living room, and play room; review the day, journal, plan the next day; read

[21:00] talk and/or stream series (or half-movie) with wife

[22:00] go to bed

Twice a week, play soccer 1h with friends either at noon or early morning (indoors during winter). Three times a week, 45m weight lifting while reading previously-opened tabs from HN. Once each weekend, 1h mowing lawn and yardwork while listening to podcast. Once a week, 5am-meeting with my coach. On weekends my Saas work ends by 7am, when I go groceries shopping for the week; the rest of the weekend days are spent playing with the girls, culture outings, board games, etc. Every Sunday, review the week, plan the next (setting my compass according to quarterly goals); once a month, review progress on my quarterly goals, revise them or set new ones for the next quarters. Every few weeks, cook dinner for friends. Every quarter, host a season-driven party (equinox, midsummer, equinox, Lucia/Xmas). 2-3 times a year take full week off with family, without work.
Thanks for your post, reverse engineering is pretty cool! I used to do reverse engineering CTF challenges, but never thought about improving past this.

Can you please elaborate on what your tasks are like?
In fact, I think JWT is probably a classic example of non-cryptographers combining multiple proposals with different use cases into one standard. The others such as JWS and JWE are not as flawed.
> 1825, Great Britain admitted Argentina's independence from Spain, but didn't claim the islands.

They claimed the Falkland Islands before Argentina even existed as an independent country, as I said in my post. They didn't have to make a new claim every time they recognized a new country.
The article also doesn't take into account education and housing debt. Not only do you make less, more of what little you make goes toward things that would have been paid off after a few years. Add to that the expectation that the younger generation is footing the Medicare and social security bill for baby boomers and you have a case of generational servitude.
Democrat or not, those in the "other part of the country" are the ones voting against themselves, i.e. for politicians who oppose subsidized healthcare, who oppose workplace benefits such as paternity, maternity, and sick leave, those who oppose healthy food for public school students (and public schools in general...)

Those living in major cities have empathized with those in areas that consistently vote for "smaller" government, by not voting for the same policies and politicians that are causing them harm.

I could be wrong, but I imagine he still knows a thing or two about CPU architecture and performance.

At some point one has to do some regression analysis, and wonder - if there's money to be made in being more efficient, why has this efficiency virtious circle not happened - and come to a rational conclusion.

The petroleum industry has complete dominance over government policy to the point where we go to war. The Petrodollar and world reserve currency status is a mighty powerful incentive to stay dirty.
There's a few easier steps they could take first. Long haul point to point from a few major distribution points to others is probably doable soon especially if they're designed to accommodate the autonomous trucks. Local drivers who are paid less drop off a trailer at a UberFreight depot in Southern California, an automated truck picks it up and drives freeways over to the UberFreight depot for Eastern North Carolina, there another local short haul driver gets booked to take it to it's final destination. Uber might be burning too much money to make it to this but the technology for long haul freeway driving is largely here already it avoids a lot of the difficulties of small roads.
To be clear this isn't an algorithm change, it's giving advertisers a choice on where their ads show up.
Potatoes on their own aren't empty calories. [1] One medium potato is ~150 calories but full of potassium, vit c, and other nutrients. It's when you fry them or drench them in cheese and bacon bits and sour cream or mash them with loads of butter that they become unhealthful.

An empty calorie is one that provides little to no nutritional value other than the calorie itself. In my mind the most common empty calories come from sugars, some flours, and some oils.

I would be a lot more concerned about Berkshire's holdings of soft drink and fast food companies. Talk about bad ethics...

When someone asks about the ethics of Coke (generally, any sugar/carbonated beverage), and Buffett responds that he still drinks it, or that he eats fast food, that's begging the question. Without the regular/addicted consumers of those products, the companies wouldn't be good investments, and everyone knows regular consumption of soft drinks or fast food is bad for you, statistically speaking. Outliers (like Buffett himself, if he really eats as poorly as he says he does—like avoiding most vegetables) are irrelevant.
yep, definitely intrusive and annoying - I don't need other people telling me how, in their opinion, I need to better myself. What an incredibly dumb comment.
> Automate a train or a truck and you save on persons salary. Automate personal transport and your market is 6 billion people.

It's the other way around; automste personal transport, and your market is all the trips taken by people
Automate freight, and your market is all the trips taken by goods, raw and finished.

The latter is a lot more trips. Even if you just restrict it to the ones taken by ground transportation.

OTOH, Uber clearly wants to piggyback last-mile delivery of goods on its personal transport service, and that's the part of goods transport where the labor cost is probably the highest proportion, because one person carries very little compare to the long-haul routes.
There's also a comment on the earlier submission from a few hours ago:

The bottleneck wasn't accessing the data once it had been archived, but archiving it in the first place.

Both source and capture bandwidth are finite resources. Several people with considerable infrastructure (a friend in Finland working at a major network provider is among the archivists) were supporting the effort. The limit is how quickly they can peel data off the source.

A few station wagons (or SUVs) full of SATA or Blu-RAY drives might be even more useful.
Remember that this is just your experience - just like some people have messed up insulin, some others have serotonin.

It's just that in this case we distinguish genetic issues from environmental.
Net neutrality should be on the constitution. Safe from lobbists and the politician in office.
Presumably OP is referring to the walled garden of CompuServe, Prodigy, and others where you could only talk to other CompuServe customers on their proprietary message boards. If you wanted to talk with someone else, it was impossible (until later) because the systems didn't interoperate. CompuServe controlled the message boards, and could control which ones were created (or not created) and thus controlled the message. Not maliciously, just as the nature of their product and the state of technology at the time.
To do away with the walled garden approach would require a robust, scalable solution to the malware and spamware problem.

For most non-pro users, a walled garden is awesome. You can actually use a computer without it becoming progressively more and more infested with malware and without it "rotting" from badly written installers, etc. For most users closed is a feature, not a bug. Closed means it works. Closed means you don't have to do your own IT.

A real solution to these problems that isn't based around walled gardens and app whitelisting would require very innovative solutions to major problems in application and operating system security. These aren't the kinds of problems that get solved overnight, and unfortunately I don't see very many people working on it.

Ultimately I think what's going to happen is more pragmatic: the computer market will fully bifurcate into one kind of device and OS for power users and developers and another for everyone else.
JonTron and a number of other video content creators on YouTube are sponsored/brought to you by Audible or Audiobooks or some other name I can't actually remember because by the time they do that bit I've already closed the video (thankfully most of the creators do it at the end of their videos, not the start of them).

So I'm not sure that they do - maybe they prohibit turning on ads and "double dipping" the videos? But I've ran an adblocker for years so couldn't tell you if the "brought to you by ____" videos have ads or not.
If the market for pro workstations is more than a couple billion, I'd be pretty damn surprised.
Since a lot of folks like "stupid entertainment" on YT, would it be possible to make learning / science "stupid entertainment" too?

It is true that I accept more limited choices of certain things by living in a rural location. There are many benefits that I enjoy from being rural that I weigh against technological needs -- it isn't a simple "pick one or the other" situation.

However, the point I was trying to make is that your statement "With the wide availability of cellular service that provides broadband speeds pretty much everyone in the country has multiple choices of ISP." which was in response to the statement "ISPs and utility companies are natural monopolies. When you move to a new location, you're stuck with the ISPs that service that location; often just 1 ISP." is actually not true from a practical standpoint for many people in the US.

I don't just use the internet for entertainment. I use it for my work. And because of the limitations of where I live, that means basically one ISP can provide me with the service I need. The "broadband" service provided in my area by mobile companies, is first of all, not really "broadband" at all, and secondly, even if it was, it would not be practical given the high cost that said companies would charge for it.

I think that many people who live in cities underestimate the number of people who are in this situation (and no, I have not lived in a rural location for my entire career). It is certainly not true from a practical standpoint that "pretty much everyone" in the US has access to "broadband speeds" from multiple ISPs.
99% of energy from gasoline ends up as heat, but saying it's ~0% useful energy is not really meaningful.
Laws aren't static.

If that happens often then we'll amend the law to increase punishment for this particular crime, just like we made a single act of copyright infringement worth up to $150k.

A channel I watch recently mentioned the reason it has been posting more often (at expense of quality) is that YT algorithm heavily punishes infrequent uploads.

You have to post frequently and build a community to be successful now.
It seems the next step in transport disruption. If Uber and Lyft can revolutionize taxicabs, why not take a shot at sclerotic and inefficient public transport.
You mean YouTube's decision to allow advertisers not to be on your channel if they didn't want to? Surely advertisers should have that choice, right? That's what caused you to lose money, not any executive decision by YouTube. And this comment is probably dead because of the out of context advertisement for your channel.
Same way Torrent protocol does and with mDNS.

Then we tax the revenue generated by automation and distribute it as a per capita dividend.
I have seen a ton of these kinds of articles posted here over the years, but none of them touches on what PG wrote in one of his essays: the reason salaries were so high after the war and until the 70is were that the US was the only country that had a modern, intact industrial base and so it was worth it for the companies to overpay for labor, in the same way that it is worth it for a start-up to overpay for e.g servers.

Later, after the boom, they started to cut their overspending.
Machine Learning Predicts the Next Wicket in a Cricking Match
Would it be possible for Elm to evolve a way to let components keep internal state? The lack of component-local state is what ultimately drove me away from Elm for my last project. It seems like it should be possible, since Elm and Redux are vaguely similar and Redux can store component-local state if you need it to.

Fascinating to see a language that supports DOD as a paradigm.
What's your value proposition? Auth0 works for me, has a free tier, and my users' data is not anything so private. On the server side I only accept the HMAC-SHA256 algorithm, negating your biggest concern about JWT. Perhaps, as you claim in your article, that "is not JWT". I'm ok with that. How would your services save me money or increase my profit? I would be far more interested in a freemium SaaS alternative to Auth0 that fixes the concerns with JWT than I would be in paying an individual consultant (who might or might not be a crypto / auth expert - hard for me to verify) and who could be hit by a bus.
When I look around at the pro market that need fast machines I see people working with 3D/CAD, video and sometimes sound and pictures

That's the market Apple have historically singled out, but it isn't the only "pro" segment. Another big one is software developers, who care a lot about compile and/or test time (and maybe having enough RAM to run a bunch of VMs...) -- and this apparent was recognised in the April meeting.

The OP and GP provide an example of the age-old dichotomy between deontological (kyledrake) and consequentialist (cjbprime) viewpoints. Which is more correct, has been debated for centuries and unlikely to be resolved anytime soon, as it's highly subjective.

Should Youtube, have refrained from using copyrighted material that contributed to their popularity, given it greatly increased their chances of success compared to the other nascent video sharing sites at the time?

Was reddit.com, wrong for using sock-puppets accounts to kickstart content when they were starting out?

Some will say it's always wrong to use 'x' in a strategy no matter what. Others would argue that while 'x' might be a bit evil, it's necessary to ensure survival, and will result in a greater good (ie the service being useful to millions vs extinction) in the long run.

Is there a fear in the post you're replying to?

Given that the objective was free beer, I assumed that in this story the robbers were the protagonists. The story is only possible in a world with self-driving trucks because in any other universe the goofy beer-stealing rednecks are threatening real people and that's not very sympathetic, but in the self-driving truck universe they're just stealing from robots.
My understanding is the limit to the heating potential of a heat pump system is the evaporator freezing over, which is why they are more popular in areas with low humidity. I think at a certain point the heat pumps spend so much time in defrost mode with the auxiliary heater running that they aren't economical.
Do you feel the same about motorcycle manufacturers? I'd guess the mortality risk of a 30 minute motorcycle ride is higher than the risk of a 30 minute Dairy Queen meal.
The first kind. Is the second kind also a big problem? I'm unaware of it.
Technically, they didn't oppose it, but they didn't support it either, as members had mixed feelings about the approach, which I'll paraphrase as it partly being a disguised tax cut for the wealthy rather than a revenue neutral carbon fee.

http://www.sierraclub.org/washington/sierra-club-position-ca...

I personally support offsetting carbon taxes against other taxes, but since it would be regressive, I'd lean towards mitigating that in whatever compensatory tax cuts were introduced.
> their network is (presently) too weak to achieve what they want

That's certainly a plausible hypothesis, but without evidence, definitions of words like "weak" and a proper wash through the scientific method, I'm not convinced we can make conclusions like that at this point in time.
In case anyone is actually reading this. 17mbp too please.
He said nothing about "business". And I'd hope Keybase's strategy is to be effective in the face of evil than just performatively non-docile in the face of evil.
The US also imports quite a bit of food (I'm not finding a definitive figure right now, but seeing 15% in several places), so that complicates the calculation a bit. Also, you'd want to see a breakdown of how much transportation comes from agricultural activities as well, to get a better idea of the full picture.

Still, agriculture is a big player no matter how you cut it, and your own eating habits are a lot easier to control than overall policy or law changes (and probably even your transportation, given the strong need for cars).
I am a total nerd/geek. A 6'2" 215lb dyed-in-the-wool technology buff. While I enjoy hard blue collar work, I also enjoy chilling in front of a computer. I have some idea that, perhaps, someday I can try my hand at getting paid to code... or just contribute to OSS in a meaningful way, which I have done from time to time. Hopefully to better the fire/ems service or pre-hospital stuff. Or just scrape the shit out of the web for profit... lol.

Is the autonomous Otto logo trying to look like the front of a truck? It seems like the retailer Otto wouldn't want a truck as their logo? For me it's the retailer's font choice that makes the logos look similar.

> His firm recently conducted a survey of 100 YouTube creators and said that channels focused on comedy and gaming experienced the sharpest drops in revenue last month compared with February. At the same time, creators in food, beauty and fashion, and family and parenting had increases. YouTube shares ad revenue with creators, who keep more than half.

I'm wondering it this is just a coincidence, or whether Youtube are trying to shift advertisers to these "family friendly" channels, and away from anything that might cause controversy.
I think sum total is probably overstating it, but Wikipedia provides more than enough of a scaffolding to massively accelerate rediscovery of math. It's less about teaching and more about giving inquiring minds a roadmap with some answers filled in. How far do you think Euclid would have gotten if he could've read Wikipedia for the entirety of his life?

I would add that the distortion, the voice crack, the grain of the image - these bring the medium itself to light. Without them the medium is (more or less) invisible. These defects represent the interaction, the connection between a metaphysical work of art and the physical reality.

same reason rails got so much more mindshare than any of the competing web frameworks of its day - there is considerable value in optimising for the common case, and indeed adding constraints in the name of safety and good architecture; most languages/frameworks try to optimise for flexibility and miss out on this fact.
