I heard Lisp machines would just stop everything and give you a REPL so you have a chance to clean things up, or just reboot. I don't see why modern systems can't reserve some amount of memory for such a recovery process. In my Linux experience I'm either saved by the OOM Killer (which is dubious 'safety' at best) or the system just hardlocks and I have to either REISUB or sometimes force a power off.
Or F#: https://github.com/ionide/ionide-atom-fsharp/blob/develop/sr...

This project has not been super active recently (because most of the people involved are working more on VS Code version of Ionide), but doing an Atom plugin with F# was quite nice :-). I linked the above file, because using nice `async` support and agent-based programming works really nicely in the editor context.

May I recommend anyone wishing to understand more about valuation read the book Venture Deals?

The subtitle is tongue in cheek but also gives you a sense of how much you can learn and how rare company you are in once you understand the details.
Not sure about programs; they do maintain the "Boot Camp" set of Windows drivers for their hardware, which seem pretty stable.
Really like both the idea and the implementation: the tie in to the email list is quite nice.

One possible enhancement I could see would be a followup to the person making a suggestion. Not sure if there's an easily deduced standard form but basically over a couple of days ask them a few more detailed questions (as a suggestion, maybe 3 questions 2 days later, and 4 questions 5 days later?) to try and dig into the problem and figure out how deeply they've thought about this and if there is really any substance behind it. Things like what they use/how they currently solve this problem and how much time a day does this take: if they can come up with more insight/detail then that might help spur someone to think more about the dev. Otherwise it risks becoming an Internet version of the "Oh, you make apps? I have a GREAT idea you should drop everything you're working on and build" scenario.

Another potential enhancement would be a bounty-style implementation: along with the suggestion they could actually escrow some money towards the idea, and later emails could say "5 people have paid $X towards this idea: submit your solution" as an incentive to developers to actually take the idea seriously. One could almost see this as a reversed-Patreon: instead of posting your work and waiting for people to pay, you post a workable/working solution and if enough people use it/approve you collect the pot. Significantly more thorny to ensure people don't get robbed of their money or time but would be a unique way to crowdsource specific solutions.
I think you offer solid advice but I don't think the original author was saying "I want to be lazy". They were saying "I don't have that much time", which is totally different.

There are solutions popping up that make freelancing much easier. UpWork is hit or miss, but an option. I co-founded https://turtle.ai/ -- we have a bunch of PhD students, developers with full time jobs. There are even a few people doing just a few hours per month.

We need to unlock ourselves from the mentality that "40 hours per week, butt in seat" is the only way to do work. The future of work is remote, flexible, results-driven.

> the problem with languages like Nim is lack of support and maturity

It was the same for Linux, Python, Ruby. Being community-driven can be a bug or a feature.

> Go is more versatile

Nim has macros, templates, overloading and compiles to C, JS, Objective-C. Runs on more architectures than Go including arduino microcontrollers.

> mature than anything out there

Go is not more mature than C, C++, Java, Python, Perl...

See Linux, Python, Ruby... many projects had no big company or funding behind them.

I don't know if it still works today, but Forbes says there are some people who make very serious money on fiverr, but they are mostly creative work though (voice over, writing etc).

Yes, so much this. I've encountered this same issue.

For our non-technical employees I write an endpoint that gives them a CSV with the most current info (often with a super simple front-end that they can use to query for specific date ranges or with filters). They download this CSV and upload it into their sheet manually to update the underlying data when they need new info.

It would be so great if you could just say "here's a URL; keep my data fresh from this source" and it would automatically do it.
The point of this discussion is to shine a light on how ignorant the OP's question was. The original question was whether a person could live off $40/day. But that's not what OP really meant was it? What they meant to ask was whether or not a person could live OP's approximate standard of living on $40/day. And the answer to that is obviously not. If you make more than $34k/yr you're in the global 1%. Virtually no one on the planet lives at the OP's standard of living. The question only shows the OP's hubris.

SNAP is a subsidy for every industry that sells products that people on SNAP might purchase. Every dollar not spent on food is another dollar someone might collect in rent, or cell phone service, or clothing. Wal-Mart may benefit greatly from SNAP, but it benefits far more from its customers having more income that they don't have to spend on subsistence than it benefits from its employees being able to accept a lower wage. And of course Wal-Mart accepts SNAP payments from its customers because Wal-Mart sells groceries.
There's something I'm working on that's essentially a paypal button, but acts as a little widget on the site.

You would be surprised how many companies are severely lacking tools that could greatly increase worker efficiency. The first webdev gig that I ever got came while visiting a friend who worked in a pharmaceutical research lab. Upon finishing her report, she proceeded to print it out and append it to these massive binders. I asked her why not digitize it all and make it available on all the lab computers via an intranet to which her response was "I didn't know that was possible".

After seeing that, I created a quick demo in about 3 weeks as a proof of concept and asked my friend to bring it to her boss. She gladly accepted because it made her look good by going beyond her duties to help the company be more efficient. The boss loved it and set up a meeting with me where we ironed out their ideal use cases as well as settled on a price and release date. After drafting a contract, viola, I had my first side gig.

I guess the main takeaway is to keep an eye out for professional friends and acquaintances outside of the tech world who could benefit from automation or digitization in their daily jobs but are simply unaware it's possible.
Indeed. Optional to include "outside of working hours".

I am still trying to find the suit. I think it was Target. Many managers were in the habit of staying after they clocked out and/or coming in on their days off to make sure their department was tidy. One manager did not, and was either fired or passed over for promotion because her department was not as tidy as others. She sued, and won, alleging that by holding her performance against her peers "optional" activities was against fair labor laws and amounted to forced overtime.
When I last looked at this I found:

plus a+b: addition

Example: 1+2 -> 3

from a{b: selects the a-th element from b

Example: 3{4,5,6,7,8 -> 7

find a~b: Not implemented? Or maybe this exploits some old-style C behavior?

rsh a#b: repeat a items of b

Example: 3#9 -> [9,9,9]

Example: 7#2,3 -> [2,3,2,3,2,3,2]

cat a,b: concatenate item a onto the list b

Example: 1,2,3 -> [1,2,3]

id +a: identity

Example: +7 -> 7

size {a: get the size (in the first dimension) of a

Example: {7,8,9 -> 3

Example: a=4,5
b=a#7
{b -> 4

iota ~a: enumerates all integers from 0 to a-1

Example: ~3 -> 0,1,2

Example: ~2,3 -> [0,1,2,3,4,5]

box <a: Put a into an indirection box

Example: <1 -> <1

sha #a: get the shape (size in all dimensions) of a

Example: #7,8,9 -> 3

Example: a=4,5
b=a#7
#b -> 4,5

I don't remember or haven't figured out how to dereference a boxed value, or what this can be used for.

The struct A has members:

t: The "type": 0=integer, 1=boxed reference
r: The "rank": size of array d
d: The "dimensions": Multiply to get the size of array p
p: The actual data. Can be integers or pointers to boxed data (cast to a 32-bit integer!)
"Improved upon" assumes something that is constant on the level of long-term worldview, not something that may change situationally. You wouldn't usually say that your choice of what to have for dinner or which sweater to buy can be "improved upon", but many of the individual choices we make that lead to the world we currently live in are on that level.

I guess the article does mention engaging the ethical reasoning centers of our brain and training them to realize that it's an ethical problem at all, but my argument here is that there's a reason most citizens in developed countries don't think about the moral implications of, say, buying an iPhone made in a sweatshop in China that uses rare-earth minerals that pollute the environment, and that's because the number of choices we face on a daily basis and the moral complexity of all the consequences of these would paralyze us into inaction if we did - in which case, those people who don't bother to think about it would dominate consumption.

I mean, except more than half of the OSs you listed. And of those you listed that are microkernels, only QNX has gotten any serious traction.

> Also, it's not really C++, it's a pretty serious subset (lacking templates, multiple inheritance, exceptions, reflection, funky new casts [reinterpret_cast, static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast], and even namespaces(!)).

Yeah, compilers have come a really long way in the nearly 20 years since that was designed, but they want to keep ABI compatibility.

Where I work we need to submit proof of insurance to drive our own vehicles to job locations/for work purposes, but we are still covered under an employer policy when driving for said business purposes. They just don't want to deal with drivers whose vehicles aren't already personally insured (which seems sane). My understanding is that this is pretty normal, though I'm not 100% sure if it's an outgrowth of liability concerns or legal obligation. Either way, I can't imagine that Walmart wouldn't have a similar practice in place.

Not that I disagree that Walmart's cutting out hypothetical fleet maintenance costs with what they're doing. I'm sure there are a variety of advantages for them however they're structuring it.

We've focused on building software that makes it really easy for "plug and play" software development work. We think 40 hours isn't perfect for every kind of engineering job. We even have some software developers delivering customers value in just a few hours per month.

You do need to be able to clearly say "here's what I'm doing, and here's when to expect results", but we also recruit customers that buy into our vision. Also, our software makes it really easy for both sides to keep smiling :)
Want to be happy? Here's my hot tip:

Don't expect to always be happy. Accept that sometimes life can be really, really hard and seemingly unfair. I think being able to handle times where our own minds/emotions seemingly turn against us is one of the most valuable skills in finding more happiness in life.

It's really hard work, but sometimes it's just ok to feel shitty. Observe this feeling, recognize that it's very normal on the spectrum of human emotion, and remind yourself that it's not permanent, even if it feels that way in the moment.

That's not true. It is definitely not settled that IQ is believed by scientists to be immutable, and, in fact, a widely held hypothesis for the increase (shared by Flynn himself) is that the cognitive environment has become increasing complex, which is having the effect of "training" higher IQ.

I get what you're saying, but at the same time, trying to always find something to be grateful for can sometimes make things worse. What if I know that I should be grateful for everything I have and have been gifted in this life, but still feel terrible? It can make it harder to reconcile with negative emotions.

"Why do I still feel this way even though I have things to be grateful for!"

I think reminding yourself to be grateful for things is important, but should be separated from trying to find happiness.
> conference/hackatlon/meetup culture and startups who sell themselves to potential employees on cool cultures suggest that American developers are way more social then they like to admit

That's my point. They are social, but they can't be like that in companies that value long hour days and weekend work.

It is not the developers that are not social, but that "old fashioned" companies force them in a more restricted, non-creative behavior. In a traditional waterfall model, developers are supposed to be implementers, not thinkers. In that kind of company, everything is hierarchical and creativity is not expected. So their developers behave that way. And I will guess that it is that the model of developer that the article is talking about.

The article, for sure, is not talking about the developers that you describe. And that's my problem with the assumption in the article that people that are good at a technical problem are not social. :)
The Flynn effect documents an increase in IQ, but does not say there will be a consistent 2.93 point increase --- in fact, the increase is not consistent, but rather concentrates in areas of lower socioeconomic status.

The problem with learning finance that it takes a lot og effort. A good place to start would be taking the 3 CFA exams. After about 1000 hours of study, you will have a basic grasp of finance.
We actually don't disagree here; at least not on the points you listed. It appears you are misunderstanding what I'm trying to say.

While we both agree it is reasonable to give the benefit of the doubt to experts, and it wasn't good to be a bit presumptiois either, the issue is that we should still never answer by just pointing to the epaulettes of the expert--especially in this case where there is an obvious confusion.

I don't believe this physicist would be offended by Amelius' post, and if an authority was offended by such a minor transgression and first unwilling to provide an explanation--as was the case here--and sought to assert authority instead of through explanation and through epaulettes, we should further question that authority, always.

We could next time just say: 'here is why you are confused, and you should have wondered why if you happened to notice the writer's accomplishment.'

Yet is it not conceivable to hate someone thoroughly, but not enough to be willing to sacrifice one's entire career/reputation/criminal-record by committing any kind of actual crime?
I actually believe that the optimal amount of hours depends on the work being performed.

For coding and hard sustained mental work, I believe 8 hours is way too much. That doesn't mean they don't have to think about the work after leaving work - there was an article recently on HN about thinkers having breakthroughs when going on long walks. Maybe a flexible schedule would work best (short burst of intense 80+ hours of coding are also common but not sustainable).

OTOH there are many other kinds of work where working 60+ hours is sustainable long term (though I would advise against much more than that, there's a life to enjoy too!).
That does sound bad but I would like more data before judging.

On a side note, I don't really understand how bitcoin is somehow this new anonymous wealth hiding scheme. I can lookup any given wallet that's participated in a transaction (everything is public), so what stops me from de-anonymizing people? Lets say in the future everyone pays with bitcoin online and I'm working for the feds screening packages for UPS. I just saw a few amazon shipments come through for somebody's home address, one with a specific computer, one with a box of pens, and one with a pair of shoes. Go back, look up the item prices and then cross reference with transactions that took place in that time period. Yea, you can use multiple wallets and addresses but at some point, there'll be enough public domain information to track you down, especially with current advances in ML.
