Could be that the $100k is pretax and the $30k spending is post-tax.

That'd roughly halve the amount going into savings, if tax is a third, he's spending a third, and he's saving a third.

Of course, he'd still have savings of $220k+

This book was excellent for informing mental models.

I'd also say "How to Solve It" by Polya helps create a good mental model for problem solving that can apply to most any situation that requires structured thinking.
You are actually luckier. If you live in California, please work there for 1 year, get your ass of that city/country and come live in a country where cost of living is lower :). That is provided you have the stomach for that and if you don't have family/kids. You can easily get Visa to almost any country and perhaps one month of California/SF salary is enough to live one year in a low cost place.
CET is coming out soon, and I'm hopeful that this will make ROP much harder.
> Something other than CAR/CDR would have been a better choice for working with CONS cells, even back in 1959.

> Are the names less than optimal? Yes.

I don't think that's self-evident. The only better alternatives I've ever heard suggested are something like left and right, which I think are probably slightly clearer names for what the functions do, but not significantly so (I don't think "a cons is a thing with a left and right side" is that much more intuitive than "a cons is a thing with two parts called a car and a cdr").

Further, I think in 1959 when most everyone using Lisp was hacking on the implementation itself, names that are mnemonic for what the machine they were actually using is actually doing make sense; I don't think they're clearly sub-optimal now, but I think they were even less so in 1959.

Even if nobody was using scummy tactics, it'd be hard to compete. There are so many people who want to make video games. Hell, I wanted to, before I got my "boring" BigCo job. Personally, I'm really glad I decided not to make games. I like the safety a regular income brings. Maybe once I hit my number I'll make some games, and we'll see if I'm any good at it.

In the meantime, I have nothing but admiration for those of you who actually do it before having independent financial security. I can't say I think it's wise, but I am a beneficiary of the massive numbers of talented people working in your field.
That would be ideal, and it can be turned into a sustainable business. This won't happen at big companies though, it would have to emerge from new startups.
Icelink's estimated cost is about £2.4b, which would be shared by both sides.

Hinkley C's construction cost is £20.3b, and the cost to UK consumers over the plant's lifetime exceeds £50b.
The real issue with raspberry pis is that ethernet is actually on the usb2 controller, so it's capped at 80mbps afaik, and it's also shared with other usb storage.

I hope raspberry pi 4 has gigabit ethernet and netbooting becomes a first class function.

The Dow Jones was invented in the 1890s to be easy to calculate. It is widely panned and is not used by anyone in industry for anything serious.
I was making the same point. Why make money in a high cost area and insist on spending there :-).
Thanks. The conclusions may be obvious to experts in algo trading (and I heard similar things about the problems of TA for stock trading prior to doing this), but it was educational for me to go through the exercise because (1) it confirmed to me that the crypto markets behave similar to other markets, and (2) it helped me understand exactly where and how a technical indicator like MACD falls short for making trade decisions.

Before trying it myself, I was somewhat skeptical when reading about how these indicators don't work well. The overlays on charts always looked like good buy/sell indicators, so I didn't really understand why they couldn't make for a good algorithm. Only after trying it myself did I gain insight as to why they don't actually work so well.

I guess it's better to learn the hard way than to learn the hard-and-painful way with real money ;)

Good work. It seems like a working library. And it's fast at the things it chooses to do. But ...

1. Ditching React and Angular for this is like ditching Photoshop for MS Paint.

2. Someone using Zam isn't "going vanilla JS", they are going Zam JS.

3. Going into a performance arms race with jQuery is not a one man job. It would be nice to know how you achieve such performance gains. What tradeoffs are involved? Like, is it faster because it uses native dom selection functions? If so, then this is just an extra layer of indirection with no added value over something like a polyfill. If that's not the case, what kind of groundbreaking work did you do here to achieve the impressive looking benchmarks on the Github page?
So, they want the password off the list, instead of changing it to something (much much much) more secure? Some variant of "battery horse staple and correct", right?

5mbps is about the best case (all 3 nodes on the same table). In more realistic deployment, it'll be much less.

So, why so slow?

TL;DR: Too little RAM on ESP8266.

WiFi is half-duplex, i.e. in basic scenario (no MIMO; all stations close enough that each can hear at least some other), only one node can transmit at a time. [CSMA/CA] protocol is used to enforce this limitation. This protocol is susceptible to [Hidden node problem], which absolutely will be present for wifi repeater. Meaning that data in a single burst is transmitted fast, but any switch-over of who's transmitting is going to be really slow, with collisions, pauses, etc. In turn, that means that to achieve any decent throughput, WiFi repeater should buffer as much data as possible to minimize number of transmitter switch-overs. And that requites RAM - say to buffer half-second data burst at 54Mbps you'll need 3.5MB of RAM. Alas, ESP8266 only has 96KB of data RAM, out of which just 32KB is used as packet buffer with standard SDK.

Out of that market. They're now in a different market. Perhaps it's a smaller one. (And perhaps it's a market where "bride price" isn't the way things are done...)

Depending on where in Maine you're from the costs for basic recreation (parks, enriching and culturally, scientifically and otherwise diverse attractions for families) may decrease substantially.

Hopefully they'll introduce caps that take power costs to a minimum of zero.

I say this with some experience - here in Northern Ireland we're the world leaders in terribly thought out (and utterly stupid) energy policies, and the economic effects of them.

(Our government recently collapsed, primarily due to a dispute over a programme that saw farmers paid ~£1.12 for every £1 of biomass energy they consumed, with no upper cap. Needless to say, there are empty barns in the middle of nowhere at 30°C inside right now causing a lot of pollution and "making" their owners a fortune. As a result of how much it has cost and is projected to, a lot of spending has just been cancelled, including badly needed hospitals).

So yeah, clean energy is great, when it's combined with sane policy.

For all we know the Chinese coin miners you are competing with already pay nothing for their energy, 24/7. And in the grand scheme of things, despite alarmist opeds in the NYT, computers or cryptocurrency miners are simply not big energy consumers where the opex for buying them only to have them sit idle for rare negative energy prices would somehow make you come out on top. You are looking to sink gigawatts here.

Just want to make a couple points:

- I think everyone understands this, but it bears repeating: dopamine isn't the problem here, as it will be involved in any rewarding behavior. The real claim being made is that we have created technologies that give us too much and/or the wrong kind of pleasure.

- We should consider that "junk food" pleasure (the internet, TV, drugs, actual junk food, etc.) can be useful as a coping mechanism for individuals facing trauma, stress, depression, or other psychological issues. We should consider the possibility that healthier coping mechanisms might be insufficient or unavailable in certain situations. It might actually be a good thing that we've come up with a portable technology (the smartphone) that can be used on the go for short bursts of dopamine. In terms of addictions, you could do worse.

All that being said, I agree that people can develop unhealthy relationships with technology, and we should be working (as always) in the direction of harm reduction.
The problem with the disguise is that people are pretty good at seeing through, and the more prosthetics and make up you have on more obvious it is. It works in the movies with an editor and the lighting director and cameraman, but not so much in real life. Worse you’ve now given people a very good reason to stop you and question you further, because after all you’re wearing a disguise! You also have to consider that the disguise to fool a person, and the disguise to fool a computer might be very different, especially if the computer isn’t just using the visual spectrum to analyze you.
Thank you! That's been done for years, though :) I've had more than a few stares, and people even came up and asked me if it was actually working. I even made a PCB for it, so it's much easier to convert a rotary phone to a mobile (haven't tested that yet, though).

Unfortunately, the ringer was too high-voltage to make work, and the Arduino wouldn't fit inside the phone unless I took out the ringer. Maybe the new PCB will fit, I'll have to try it out. Maybe I'll send you the next prototype unit as a gift, if I ever complete it (or, if you're ever in Greece, drop me a line and we can build it together!).

Is it an option to take an extended vacation (3 weeks +) before you make your next move?

If having nothing lined up is adding to your stress levels then kick off the job search and be upfront with them that you want to take some time off before you start or you could just tell them you have a long notice period.

Before you go ahead and hand in your notice it's probably worth talking to you immediate boss (or their boss even) to tell them you feel a little burned out and that you'd like to take some unpaid leave / a mini sabbatical. But be prepared for them to give you your notice when you have this conversation.

That's fucking ridiculous, let's just pick and choose attributes societally deemed less desirable and throw them right in the dsm-5. At what point do you recognize a dichotomy between personal difference and mental conditions. I'd classify excessive gaming as a symptom of another undiagnosed condition or social problem i.e. (dysfunctional family, child abuse, bullying, Asperger's...). While we're at it lets throw excessive cell phone use into the dsm-5 as I abhor cell phones and practically all forms of social media.

You are correct, I used to work with batteries for 3 years, people count capacity in Ah or Wh, but never in W. More often in Ah.

Why Ah instead of Wh? Because V is constant, making Ah proportional to Wh.
Wh = Ah * V; V is the rated voltage the battery is designed for (12V for instance).
By definition the capacity is how much energy you can get out of your battery at the rated voltage under standard temperature at a standard discharge rate. Voltage will go down as the battery depletes. When the voltage output is too low and cannot power the circuit anymore we consider the battery empty. Therefore, as we stop using the battery when V is too different, we can consider V constant over the usage period.

So Ah = k x Wh, k = 1/ V being almost constant. Ah is a easier unit to manipulate in charge rates, lifecyle etc.

One important note: due to technology limitations, energy one can get out of a batter greatly depends on the discharge rate (+-50% energy) and environment temperature (+-50% energy). Capacity cannot be taken literally as how much energy you can store and restitute. Design a grid that can still operate with lower voltage, charge at a lower rate and operate in hot weather and you suddenly have way more capacity (x3).

Engineer in St. Louis here. I live in a crazy nice walkable area of the city and pay $400/mo splitting a 3 story house with 2 others. There are plenty of very livable cities esp in the midwest perfect for saving/working on passion projects, only off-limit because they aren't seen as tech hubs or considered hip (These are the best guesses I have). Honestly I don't really understand why programmers (or anybody working mainly on a computer) aren't getting work from home and living in cheaper more livable places. Shrugs the lack of demand is sure favoring my lifestyle.
You're correct, but in the industry we really just talk in terms of Power at the transmission grid level and usually in millions of watts or MW. So if a coal plant is currently generating 2000 MW and you have a battery that can only consume 5 MW or 0.25%, then that isn't very much storage. Put another way, let's say the load in your region is 60 GW and you have 200 MW of energy storage. That is only a tiny fraction of storage relative to what the demand is.
Thank you, I appreciate that. I'll point people at SunSed the next time they ask about MD alternatives. :)

These names were very well thought out. They were part of a larger vocabulary in fact; most of that vocabulary died out and only car and cdr remained. There were things like cwr, ctr and others. MacCarthy and gang were well aware (of all people!) that the language is machine-independent and not something that will be forever stuck to the particular IBM machine; they used these names anyway because there was nothing wrong with them.

By the way, the C and R are not machine specific; any machine can have a "register" and any register can have "contents". On any machine where we implement cons cells, we can just call the two fields registers, understood as being A and D.

These, in turn, can be "ante" and "de", if someone desperately needs mnemonics:

"active word-forming element in English and in many words inherited from French and Latin, from Latin de "down, down from, from, off; concerning."

I saw this "then-heavy" style in many places, but I never really understood: I find perfectly fine to make "fadeIn" return a promise, or an ajax call, and find "the right way" to join them with then / when / Promise.all etc.

But what is the meaning to add a lambda function as "response => response.json()" in a then?
why a different lambda "json => el.innerHTML = json.results[2].message" ?

isn't it a "gratuitous" use of a then-able object? I found more readable to have a (sincronous, debuggable, "old-style") function without the need to split in one thousand one line lambdas.

moreover, my python background makes me looks as "ugly" the last one, as it's a lambda function with an assignement, and not a simple expression.
The tooling improved, so that the given tasks could be done even by non-programmers, but then actual programmers were able to use the improved tooling to do more complicated tasks, of which there never seems to be a shortage of, so that's what the industry moved to.
