I feel like this depends on your priorities. Growing up, my mom was super busy acting as a single parent much of the time - waking us up, taking us to school, going to teach, picking us up, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, etc. And yet we had a lot of good, quality time with her in the moments in between and on the weekend and summers and so on.

She didn't go to an expensive college, own a company, make tons of money, or anything of that sort. But she wanted to spend time with us and so she found ways to do that. Of course, I think she's a very strong and smart woman and I've wondered if I could do the same; but I see more and more examples of this every day from people who follow similar guidelines as what PG recommends. If you have an achievable goal (I think spending time with kids can qualify as such depending on the circumstances) and you try to cut out the bullshit along the way, it can be done.
The only problem with the US is that you have to report to IRS even if you live and work in some other place...
It’s early, but it seems likely there was an issue with Autopilot that contributed to this crash. To make matters worse, the owner apparently complained about errant behavior on that section of road. Why did he continue to use it without paying attention and why didn’t Telsa act much earlier?

It seems the local government or highway agency also neglected their duty to maintain the highway safety barrier, a shockingly regular occurrence where I live as well. I’ve wondered how often someone is injured because they failed to repair a barrier for several months.

It appears all the pieces fell into place at the right time and this man unfortunately lost his life.
Finally! I've been wanting something approaching this for modern development since NeXT dropped EOF (enterprise objects framework) in the '90's.

First thing you need to know is your goals explicitly and then map your estimation of what steps you need to take to get there.

If you know those then you can work toward allocating your time optimally.

Most people have no clue what their goals are or what really motivates them, so they just float along doing whatever arouses their interest (those addicting behaviors).
Disclosure: I use both gce and ec2

Unfortunately unlike EBS, persistent disks (Colossus) in Google cloud share a network plane with the VM. To quote the docs.

"Each persistent disk write operation contributes to your virtual machine instance's cumulative network egress cap."
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/performance

If you haven't noticed the mtu in Google cloud is < 1500 vs AWS where you can get jumbo frames (9k). I have no reason to believe persistent disks are different.

Enabling live migrations? You mean the choice of having an instance terminated with zero notice or migrate with a 60 second warning if you subscribe to the right API? Oh yeah and this is happening constantly.

Live migrations (and by connection VM attrition), persistent disks, and network performance are my least favorite aspects of google cloud today.

That being said google cloud does have alot of advantages over ec2. These are just not them.
Thanks for raising that issue, I was somewhat confused by the mentioning of encryption as a soft-deletion method... it made precious little sense to me, but everybody seemed to go along with it and I thought I was missing something very fundamentally ’right’ about that idea. Turns out it’s not so.
What is the distinction between the two that changes the justification? I see those things as part of each other, as in institutional secrecy is bred from ongoing inquests in perpetuity.

This group is awesome and for so many has sparked an interest in urban planning, transit and local politics. In many cases actually leading people to attend local council meetings, run for office, the list goes on.
Note that the stackoverflow post does not technically apply. accept() finds the smalles available file descriptor - it will never suddenly hand you a file descriptor of a huge integer value.

You can also control this with the "max open file" ulimit setting. This is by default often 1024 - meaning your process can have max 1024 open file descriptors, and the max value of a descriptor will be 1023.

Even if you need to support one or two orders of magnitude more file descriptors, a vector would likely be more efficient due to better memory locality.

What has Tesla concealed - as you intimate? What does the NTSB know they are not telling?
One hopes their report at the end will tell all.
The fee death spiral is a wild prediction seeing that throughput can easily be expanded when not blocked politically since there aren't any technical limitations (bitcoin cash) AND that even when throughput is constrained to a suffocating degree (btc), the chain still worked and never broke down or went through a 'death spiral' it just had outrageous fees.

Most of the things he says are actually false arguments that no one is trying to make or just completely irrelevant.
Not really. I use my sense of self every day. So do you.
If the NTSB was truly focused on providing investigations that minimize future risk (this is separate from blame, responsibility or punishment), then it's pretty clear that it should ideally be able to work in as neutral of an environment as possible.

Tesla is also clearly trying to control the narrative, and I think NTSB's usual MO is that there simply be as little narrative as possible until something as close to ground truth be determined and released. NTSB understands that releasing reports into a pre-charged environment leads to increased risk of backlask against NTSB, thus reducing its capacity to minimize future risk.
Signal did a version of that with the help of aclu.
This also said, it should be noted that this group has inherent biases against the tech industry due to many aspects of gentrification that tech new money represents, and the lack of recognition among said new money for their role in gentrification.

This is good advice. And as far as "single-player" activities are concerned, I think pursuing curiosities as far as your interest will go is a good way to discover new interests. Read an article on a topic you find compelling? Find additional reading material. Maybe take a class. Catch the urge to make something? Go for it. Something might stick or it may not. Either way, you'll have done something you might not have otherwise done and it won't have been a waste of time.
Please be fair if in the readme that a comparison to ASIO is a bit apples to oranges. This one seems to be mostly a learning project, and is heavily work in progress.

boost asio already works with boost coroutines in a reasonable fashion. And this would certainly be a good way if someone wants to build some production project on top of it.

Regarding the code and example itself:

Having a separate callback for connection close seems to be a bit backward, since it again means the connection state is spread out over multiple callbacks. The purpose of a coroutine is to have everything in scope of that routine. In that case the connection close should be signaled by reading 0 from the socket, or the read returning an error.
> “The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive"

This is completely irrelevant to the crash. Anyone who uses autopilot knows that throughout the drive even if you have two hands but don't apply enough pressure on the wheel, you will get a warning and you have to jiggle the wheel for it to recognize you're there.
What struck me is how similar your Meter Feeder prototype is to parking application deployed in Prague, which then has added feature that the enforcement happens through streetview-style cars which read registration plates by machine vision. Somewhat non-typically for what is effectively government project the thing seems to mostly run on AppEngine.
Why do you think you'd be locked in? To switch from twilio to your own service, it's one LOC client side, and setting up your server. I don't see what would lock you in. If you need to host your own TURN server, you need to host it somewhere where bandwidth is cheap, so NOT aws. You can any lightsail, DO, etc. However, with a VPS, you're subject to instabilities from other users, so you may want to get your own instances from Hetzner/OVH. This is a lot of overhead as you see, so only do it if it's worth it.
That sort of defeats the point of education as socialization (that is, developing the common language that holds society together). The only fallback we have remaining is pop culture, and if we let that be our main means of socialization, people will start letting actors and reality TV stars make all their decisions.
With respect, I think you are speaking from the position of someone who has known how to use this technology for so long, he has forgotten what it was like not to know it.

Take your "90% go to for web" stack. You'll need to know:

* HTML
* CSS
* JS
* Ruby
* SQL (maybe)

And then the frameworks:

* Rails
* Bootstrap (or equivalent)
* Vue (or equivalent)
* Webpack (or equivalent)

And then the deployment:

* Web server of choice
* Database setup
* Linux sysadmin
* AWS

There was a front-end dev guide linked on the front page yesterday (https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap). Just...look at it. Count the pages. Even if you stipulate that you already know Rails, the rest of what you need to know is still a huge wall to climb.

And sure, by now, you have all that knowledge in your head, same as I do. (Probably better; I always hated web programming.) But asking somebody new to scale that wall just to join in with the supposedly open web? Seems a little much.

And I'm still pretty confident that I (with Anvil) would deploy a simple application faster than you (with Rails). Not because you're a bad developer, but because even with all your knowledge you're still navigating that stack - and deploying it, and debugging it, and editing it without autocomplete because no IDE can sensibly autocomplete a system with that many independent layers, and so on.
Kindly elaborate. Which ones? To what extent? What is the state of the art here?

This was my only issue with bitcoin when I evaluated it several years ago.
We moved from France back to the US (Miami, specifically) in the last year. Going back to France has come up a lot in our household. Salaries are definitely higher here but once I deduct the major expenses (healthcare, childcare, healthy foods) it comes out to be only 10% bump salary wise.

In our travels the one thing we have found is that medical tourism is becoming a better known option to Americans. I've met doctors and surgeons who keep a small office in Miami for consultation but the operations are done in Colombia, Brazil or Mexico.
It's about time. The IPv6 standard was published 20 years ago.
Can you explain? My understanding is we're all working on the same hard math problem, once a certain number of us have verified the answer (ie distributed consensus) one of us is given a reward to encourage further problem solving.
I'm not convinced enforcement is even necessary at all. Just a quota with zero enforcement would be a significant difference.

Simply having a department receiving resources supporting scientific research and planning of what is an appropriate population size for some kind of nationally recognized standard quality of life, and having that department publish annual figures comparing our size and trajectory to their data would be useful.

Today one often can't even have the conversation without what's effectively a table-flip reaction in the form of terms like eugenics, forced abortions, involuntary sterilization, fascism, nazism, and the holocaust.

I personally think the only way to gracefully manage population size is culturally. A population that's cognizant of how impactful their decision to have excessive children is to everyones' long-term quality of life will behave differently. Today we don't even inform people of what excessive is in this context. Can we even agree in this conversation what an excessive number of children is? Where has it been defined? There's zero consensus, and our leaders willfully ignore the topic.

We have MPG figures on vehicles, we have MPG standards put out by the government as targets, people can qualify what is a fuel-efficient vehicle according to current standards relatively easily as a result. There's _nothing_ from the government saying what is an excessively large family to the best of my knowledge. When people can start having real conversations on this topic, with generally respected data behind the figures, then the culture can begin to evolve through the natural course of societal life.

When the EPA started talking about fuel economy and setting standards, it normalized the conversation surrounding fuel-efficient vehicles while supplying tangible figures. It would be quite useful if something similar happened with the topic of population size. Normalizing this conversation would go a long way towards helping people acknowledge that the main cause behind anthropogenic-caused global problems is the multiplier.

It's not something I expect to ever happen. Our economy is too dependent on continuous growth.

Somewhat off-topic but relevant: If this UBI concept actually gains any traction, it will be very interesting to see what happens to all the optimistic predictions of population size flattening out relatively soon. Occupying people while they make just enough to scrape by is, I suspect, a big part of what keeps their numbers down. UBI is just one example of something that may inadvertently blow those predictions away. When you've got a population on the order of hundreds of millions like in the USA, it doesn't take many doublings to become a billion.
The quality of health care is so high in Europe that I really cannot imagine any European going to the US for treatment apart from perhaps very few experimental treatments that are not permitted in Europe.

Had to deal with one of these canned reports a while back to satisfy some enterprise contract. Had a dozen or so JS "vulns" that were only applicable to a Node environment that were being reported for client-side use. We were not a Node shop. I couldn't believe we'd paid money for that garbage report.

And wouldn't it be wonderful if those he sought employment with made that very simple, obvious calculation you just made? The article doesn't go into his years at the hotel and how he may have tried other things first before accepting that job- but getting perhaps turned away because of his non traditional background. I suppose we can look at it as his resilience as his ultimate triumph, but he seems to have been partially crushed by it. I feel for him. I do wish and hope that parents of kids who think they want to be pro musicians read his story correctly. It would probably make him feel good to rescue a life from what he endured. And I also hope that someone who is in charge of tech hiring at a company reads this story right, and one day makes the same calculation you did about a person from a non trad but highly rigorous educational background.
You can move elsewhere in Europe, it's pretty diverse, even city by city.
Daniel Shaver Simulator: An Arduboy Game About the Shooting of Daniel Shaver
You need to restructure your life. Meaningful things tend to be hard to squeeze in to unplanned, random 2 hour blocks if they aren't already a part of your life.

Trying to find canned meaning to fill your random 2 hour chunk seems vaguely like looking for the fast food that is every bit as healthy, cheap, and tasty as home cooking.

Now, if you instead for example become a gardener and enjoy gardening, maybe you can take those 2 hours and spend them caring for the garden.

In short, try to fill your life with good things you enjoy, instead of trying to find a meaningful peg that fits into an arbitrary hole of your specifications.
You can also do this in iBooks with any of the built-in voices available on iOS.

How to promote my website
I created a website and I don't have much marketing experience (student). What advise would you give to me?

Furthermore, is it permissible to promote my website on here?
Healthcare is one of those areas where your experience varies dramatically based on how rich you (or your employer) are. I had nothing but good experiences when I was on Google's health plan - basically walk in to any of a number of top-notch, very wealthy clinics, don't pay a cent, get great care. Ditto when I was on my mom's government-employee plan. I was hospitalized with an acute kidney infection when I was 15, one that would've killed me had I lived 50 years earlier. Immediately got referred to a top-notch children's hospital, attentive doctors, pumped full of antibiotics and made all better again, and my family didn't pay a cent of what would've been a $200-300K hospital bill. Similarly, my dad's hospitalization at the end of his life cost close to a million bucks, of which we didn't pay anything.

At the other end of the spectrum, if you don't have health insurance, you will be bankrupted by the slightest medical emergency. You'll get care, but the doctors generally won't care about you. Oftentimes you end up going to hospitals that are poorer, with more overworked nursing staff that more frequently make mistakes. Even having private health insurance these days or a HDHP from a smaller organization still is a much lower level of service, with much higher amounts paid out of pocket. When I left Google I bought a private individual plan from Anthem, the same insurer I had at Google; despite it being the same company, my existing doctor wouldn't take the new plan, and I couldn't even see the same doctor I'd just waltzed in to see on Google's plan without paying $400 out of pocket or so.

Much of Obamacare's achievement and Obamacare's pain comes from being an attempt to spread the misery around, so that we don't have a caste system for healthcare in the U.S. It's meant that 20-30M people who were previously unable to see doctors at all now have basic health care, but it's also meant that many people for whom health care used to be completely covered, free, now have to pay something close to the real cost of their care, and they're finding out just how much the experience sucked for the rest of America.
The USPS does not exist to encourage business. It should not be losing money on business plans. The USPS is solely funded, so losing money on a major part of their business is just bad business
Can you point me to some papers, books, etc to support this claim? Trying to understand the "block chain is BS" side of the argument, I'm fairly neutral but I rarely see any technical arguments against the concept.
Yes, very poorly.

The Ukraine, Armenia, and USSR != Estonia. Estonia is regularly ranked as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, on par with Japan: https://www.transparency.org/country/EST , among the many other superlatives you can find listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonia . (If he's going to worry about something, I would suggest that since he worries about such rare events as movie theater shootings, he ought to worry a lot more about Russia invading Estonia...)
Telling a weird and only slightly related to the 'not waiting' part of this article (which I like).

I recently got bitten by bitcoin trading. Knowing nothing about trading it was extremely wasteful. Also soulless... every dollar I made was someone else's loss. But it made me approach waiting and time efficiency differently. I'm a very attentist person.. I wait.. waiiit.. In bitcoin there's a tension (I did minute scalping) to get started and leave at the right time. Also since no one wants to wait watching charts, it made me learn rust/kotlin in the mean time with way more energy. Stretching and working out too.

Surprisingly this stupid activity gave floor to other more fulfilling ones. Life is complex sometimes.

ps: sometimes too life make you blind to what would be your perfect life and then you miss it. uneasy feeling to get over.
Unsure what it's like in Europe, but when my Canadian cousin had a brain tumor, he went to the U.S. for treatment. Canada's health care system is on average better than the U.S, but when you have a brain tumor, you don't want an average doctor, you want the best. And by and large, these are still in the U.S. because they can make an order of magnitude more money than they could in a country with socialized medicine.
