Nice ! Always great to be hearing about emacs and org-mode !

For those that write (or interested in writing) quite a bit of prose in orgmode / markdown, this emacs theme I just discovered today is mindblowing: https://github.com/kunalb/poet

Finally, don't forget about Flyspell for spell checking but also WriteGood mode which allows you to list weasel words or repetitions and have them underlined by emacs amongst other things.

TLS – Cert + DHT = DH-RPC
To implement a decentralized system, I wrote a TLS like P2P net stack.
The main idea is removing CA Cert from the whole system by using a DHT for Naming and Key Exchange.
I am not a crypto expert, so if there's any flaw please point it out for me here or Github

I use an Elliptic Curve for asymmetric encryption

DH-RPC NodeID is generated by hash of Node PublicKey and an Uint256 Nonce:

NodeID := sha256(blake2b-512(NodePublicKey + Uint256Nonce))

I refer to S/Kad idea to define the number of consecutive 0s in front of the NodeID as difficulty and to impose a minimum limit on the difficulty of the NodeID allowed to be stored on the DHT.
DHT is used to hold the NodeID:PublicKey NodeID:Addr map. NodeID and Nonce are sent to do ECDH getting shared secret after TCP connection established.

GenECDHSharedSecret(APub, BPriv) == GenECDHSharedSecret(BPub, APriv)

The main procedure is described as sequence chart: https://github.com/CovenantSQL/CovenantSQL/blob/develop/logo/rpc.png

Because in the decentralized system NodeID is the URI, not "Bob/Alice.com". So anyone tries to fake NodeB by overwriting the address or public key on DHT without the private key of NodeB will be failed to get the correct shared secret.

Github: https://github.com/CovenantSQL/CovenantSQL/tree/develop/rpc

Known issues:

1. Add a random uint64 along with NodeID and Nonce sent to remote to add some random for the shared key.
Software engineers allowed themselves to be categorised as a cost centre rather than a revenue generating asset.

Costs are to be minimised while those preceived as adding value like sales, marketing, c-level execs get paid accordingly.

In industries that are unionised, collective action gives you the leverage and backup to say enough - but we don't even have an industry body that requires membership like the IEEE or AMA.
The amount of free time required to train for a triathlon also makes it less tractable for someone with a full time job and school-aged children.
We are talking about the lack of senior engineers right now. That means we need to look at the market 10 years ago to see why there aren't enough senior engineers right now.

While the entry-level wages for engineers straight out of college were already high 10 years ago, wages after that tended to stagnate.

Typical course for a talented engineer was to start somewhere near $100k, which is great comp for a fresh graduate. However, after 6-7 years that talented engineer would be somewhere around $150k or so, while typically having a lot more responsibility, stress and workload (compared to a fresh graduate, who earns $50k less to basically learn the ropes).

After that, you completely stagnate. Very few engineers were making much above $150k, and practically nobody was making over $200k.

Meanwhile, your peers who went to medicine, finance, or business would be seeing a steady rise that routinely soared far above $200k, especially if they were successful.

Meanwhile, an engineer could launch multiple successful products and not make much more than $150-200k.

The situation is changing a bit nowadays, but the shortage of senior engineers in particular dates back to these times.

There's no guarantee that the current positive trend will continue. The entire industry seems obsessed with the question of how to pay engineers less. Even this specific article about engineer shortage focuses on whipping them to be "more productive" and getting rid of engineering positions through "outsourcing", that old reliable threat that's been used to keep engineer wages down for almost two decades now.

If we go back even further than 10 years, engineering was that low, dirty profession reserved for unwashed foreigners with thick accents and other smelly nerds. Companies were grabbing a fresh batch of them every year for $70-80k and they were expected to be thankful for getting that much, and were lucky if their pay peaked at $150k, while mid-level managers who couldn't write a line of code got much more than that.

If you were among the lucky ones to earn $150k you were definitely some sort of semi-manager yourself, "team lead" / "technical lead" etc who was expected to work 16 hour days when it was necessary (often) and take on a ton of stress and responsibility.

That's the most they take. Higher level partners get a better cut.

If he lost 40k subscribers, that's most likely 40k renewals that didn't happen -- and they're not going to happen until he broadcasts again. It's almost a certainty he didn't lose 40k, many will have renewed once he was on again.

And if 40k subscriptions lapse over 2 days that would seem to imply that he has 600k subscribers. He doesn't. The 40k loss is just sensationalist. He didn't log in the first of the month and probably had a ton of people re-sub on the 3rd when he was back on.
1. Because an 'event horizon' is not a physical boundary, it's more like a boundary that separates events that we can observe and events that we will never see in this universe, ever - that is, in this universe we can't know anything about events that happen beyond this horizon.
Making $500k a month would allow you to save enough in a few years to jump off the hamster wheel and live completely off passive income. Not luxuriously, but better than most, and have all his time for his own.

AMP doesn't enforce a uniform interface. Its restrictions are primarily technical; not stylistic.
I wonder how much of that cost is toward user-facing improvements and how much is toward extracting additional profit out of the surveillance economics model? As Mastodon and Patchwork and other federated social media platforms continue to grow, it would be an interesting and useful effort to analyze the cost structure of these alternatives.

Why the false dichotomy?

You might be able to find an employer who will pay you better and satisfy you in other ways too. Stranger things have happened...
These are all great points. Although one thing I notice about school vs afterwards is that school is very competitive, because everyone literally gets a grade and people compare in a way that people don’t do with salaries and bonuses. Yes, there is also great cooperation at school and competition in the office, especially for promotions, but it seems (to me) less inherently competitive.
This is "flying body", not flying wing - the idea is to "remove body" in one case and "remove wing" in the other.

Perhaps a different mentality for donations helps too. People who solicit donations should somehow communicate that you are not buying a service of some kind, they are donating to you, so you're free to take the money and do whatever. It's a strange thing however when people donate a pittance (five dollars or ten dollars or something) and then expect so much for it. When you pay five dollars for a coffee, you are at least paying for something. But the word "donation" never seemed to me like it carried any serious commitment on the part of the recipient.

Perhaps the only thing the donor can expect is the recipient is to continue whatever they were doing. Beyond that it's ridiculous.

In mammals generally? Sorry, couldn't resist - in truth your question is good because while "sleep" is repeated endlessly, not just in the news but often by researchers who aren't controlling for photoperiod - that's NOT what the research says. It's light that's key, controlling the master hormone melatonin. Which is also a stunningly efficient antioxidant, of supreme use in taking out the garbage - something not irrelevant to Alzheimer's. If you sleep into the light regularly,long sleeps, your lifespan actually shortens.
The main problem is it's self-managed work. Given lack of advisory and guidance, or the structure of conventional workplaces and school, many people will mismanage their work-life balance. Even with structure I have problems sometimes managing my overall workload and side projects.

It's certainly not Youtube at fault here, but it's definitely a valid issue every independent worker has to face. Discussion and exchanging solutions is a good thing.
I think if the parent knew it to be debunked, they certainly wouldn't have made that claim.

This was a fact (AFAIK) that I was aware of before as well. A quick Googling provides large amounts of resources suggesting it's true.

This is a quote from the wikipedia page about the Red Terror, from the chief of the Ukrainian Cheka:

"Do not look in the file of incriminating evidence to see whether or not the accused rose up against the Soviets with arms or words. Ask him instead to which class he belongs, what is his background, his education, his profession. These are the questions that will determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning and essence of the Red Terror."

You're right, it's not literally saying they're subhuman, but it seems pretty close. Actions are irrelevant, only identity matters. That doesn't have anything to do with perceived threats. Only a crazy person would think that someone of a certain class was a threat regardless of their actions unless they believed that there were implicit differences that basically amounted to those of different class not deserving life. And yeah I think it's definitely a genocide.

It's very similar to the genocide in Cambodia where they killed people who wore glasses (in addition to all the others) because they assumed that if they wore glasses it must be because they were literate, and all intellectuals were the enemies of the working class. We read an account of a man who had been a leftist but was sent to a camp because of his glasses. Once again, they didn't literally say people were subhuman, but they sought to attribute fundamental differences to something as superficial as eyesight.

In my first comment, I was mostly talking about people coming to believe that a group of people was fundamentally different in a way that common decency no longer applies, that you no longer give them even the consideration you would give criminals, you just send them off to die because they are irredeemable for something as stupid as what family they were born into or whether or not they wore glasses.

Actually, I think Iowa State did a study and found that it's actually not healthy to run more than around ~5K at a time. Long distance runs eventually lead to no health benefits and if anything are detrimental to almost every part of your body. Our ancestors likely walked long distances, but didn't run that distance. There's no need to run while gathering, or while farming, only while hunting and even then we developed tools to not have to even do that.
Another idiotic comparison.

If I were you, I'd focus first on reducing workload to manageable level.

Every single aspect of your life and work is hurt by you being overworked right now. You effectively say so in your comments.

Talk to management and bring the workload under control.

This is a must in my opinion.

After that, you'll have the energy to either find a new job, or get along in the current one.

You're not doing your employer or (especially) yourself any favors by burning out.
A podcast I know of has a "membership" concept which gives extra content. Once, an angry member sent an email deriding changes in the show that the rest of us enjoyed (specifically, antics by one of the co-hosts). The main host derided their email on air, saying that they'd gladly let go of the donor's membership[0]. I know you can't really do that if everyone is complaining about the same thing--in which the situation reaches a different regime, but for one off complaints, you'd be surprised how much people will recognize the bullshit and welcome your explanations how you can't please every one-off suggestion.

[0] Of course, they kindly did not identify the angry member.

It's really encouraging to see an effort like this happening in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.

Having lived in Northeastern PA at various points in my life, I can attest that Internet speeds there have always kind of lagged behind. I knew people in more rural parts of the area who had basically zero wired internet options at all. It kind of just becomes something you learn to deal with.
I know someone who was engaged in various vigorous sports for much of his adult life: running, weights, badminton, ping pong. 'Healthy' in every sense.

At age 46 he has osteo-arthritis in his hips and knees. Now: no more intensive sports. Weights are still in, but cardio is limited. He can hear/feel grinding when he walks; even 1-2 km can present a problem. He hasn't given up, though: his big project now is to try to regain the lost cartilage. Consulted doctors, did huge amounts of research, and became an expert in the field of regenerative medicine. His blog details the cutting edge treatments he's administering himself (including purchasing an ultrasound scanner and injecting drugs directly into the joints): https://myjourney2curearthritis.wordpress.com/

In a separate conversation, my doctor friend confirmed that the cartilage in joints wears out inevitably, especially with prolonged and repetitive use (cycling, running). There's very limited blood supply to cartilage and bone, so the body has no way of regenerating what's lost.

There has to be an equilibrium sought in the pursuit of fitness and the resulting wear to the body. To paraphrase James Hilton, moderation in everything, including moderation itself.

Not sure how zhu was viewed as more possible for democracy.

Note that what he did was the most brutal form of autocratic policy making, by forcing unemployment of millions of workers who are not trained to live in a different system; was possible because of autocratic government; and his policy pretty much made the rich out of the ranks of former government officials just like what happened to the Russian oligarchs.

I am guessing the rich do know how to court the expectations from inside and outside. And I often hear praises from Chinese people to zhu, while at the same time none of them suffer during zhu's policies...
Ah, my mistake. Clarified the wording, thanks.
I agree there's good journalism being done but Chricton's observation is not completely off either. The nature of _most_ reporting requires that journalists talk about stuff without being adequately informed. They have to produce stuff on demand and there's little penalty to getting stuff wrong.

In any field there's going to be variability in quality and it's not fair or wise to tar the whole field with the same brush but I think journalism sometimes attracts people who have a different relationship with facts and ideas than I do.

I read a piece by a moderately famous journalist a while ago (and I've been trying to figure out who even since with no luck) who when talking about his practice said that sometimes there _are_ no experts in a particular subject and the journalist has to do a 'deep dive' and become the expert. Now he didn't say exactly what constitutes a 'deep dive' but it struck me as profoundly arrogant and symptomatic of this problem.
Are you sure about this? Often times, I find yt recommends videos in a manner to keep me on yt (like previous songs I've watched on repeat). And you bet divisive content gets people on their site.

May be in 2010 it gave related content. That was what I found most useful and I discovered a lot of content that way, that is, it did work in the way you suggest: showing me what I want. Now, it definitely shows me what I don't really but will probably cause me to load another page.
Sure, but there's a middle ground between SF and Tulsa. Say, Denver or Chicago or SLC. Less tech jobs than SF, but still plenty. Higher cost of living than Tulsa, but not SF or NYC levels.

I live in Colorado and over the past couple of years have seen a lot of Bay area companies coming to Denver. Not sure if they are moving SF engineers over, but they are definitely building teams in these lower cost areas.
This is all tangential, but fascinating. Newspapers are the way they are because they’re still printed, and the digital version ends up straddling the line between the preexisting print format and a web site. What you’re describing only makes sense in the context of purely digital newspapers, or newspapers that are digital first, and print a distant second. A site like Axios may be a step in that direction, but it’s only scratching the surface of what could be done in that space. I would love to see something like what you described someday.
Yes, it's a little bit different than a regular co-op, but:

I made a hardware DIY Book scanner and run it off a Rpi using https://github.com/Tenrec-Builders/pi-scan with two Nikon J1 cameras. If you're not an experienced handy-person be prepared for frustration and spending more than you think on tools.

Otherwise very happy with the result and experience. I can scan about 800 pages per hour currently. Once scanned I use scan tailor to adjust the pages then a small script to tesseract OCR them before creating a PDF.

I typically do all the scanning while watching Netflix as it doesn't require a lot of attention once you get in the flow.

I'm a competitive athlete (powerlifting) and I've been experimenting with a flexitarian-style diet where the vast majority of my calories are from plant-based foods but I "supplement" with sardines and eggs to fill in the deficiencies.

With vegan diets, the most commonly deficient nutrients are: protein, calcium, choline, selenium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, and zinc.

2 cans of sardines can provide almost all of the vitamin D, selenium, and B12 you need in a day, and a majority of calcium and protein, with a serious dent in your choline RDA as well. Not only that, they are among the most sustainably-caught and lowest-mercury fish you can eat.

Add in 3 pasture-raised, farm-fresh eggs and you've hit your RDA for choline (via the yolks) and protein.

The rest of your nutrients can be covered with vegan foods...for the remaining common deficiencies, a few scoops of vegan pea protein to finish up your RDA for iron with that athlete boost I need of additional protein.

Sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, lentils, garbanzo beans, cashews, and quinoa are all excellent sources of protein and zinc.
