You’re absolutely right and you’re getting silently down-voted by cowards who find it uncomfortable to take an honest look at their lives and realize how great they have it compared to 99% of the rest of the labor force in the world.

I’ve done manual labor and dead-end fast food service work, and I thank my lucky stars every day that I currently find myself gainfully employed in a comfortable office.
It seems to me that you expect:

1. You should not fail at anything.

2. You should not feel unfamiliar at anything.

3. It is your faults that you could not provide best answer for your clients.

But I think you will agree these ideas are unrealistic.

You will find out things that you know nothing about, and that is fine. Maybe next time when you are in the situation where you have to deal with uncertainty, just admit that you will not have the best answer, but you will have a good enough answer that is based on your experience and knowledge.

Book suggestions:

1. Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy

2. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living

Both books teach me how to recognize those unrealistic standards I set for myself. I think they can help you too.

I agree that companies need more compassion for their coworkers, and a more constructive way of dealing with negative emotions. If people open up to each other, become a bit more vulnerable, and talk about what they feel vs argue that they are right and others are wrong—good things are bound to happen.

Maybe I misunderstood the notion about alphas, but personally I don’t like that phrase. It implies that there are betas (and possibly gammas), who evolutionarily had to yield to alphas whenever those demanded it.

Also, I perceive people who are labeled as alpha males mostly as fear-driven people who need to control other people so they themselves don’t get hurt or questioned. That seems not to be the case with alpha chimpanzees [1]—perhaps the alpha label is put on the wrong kind of character entirely.

Probably not quite what you had in mind, but because I'm half way around the world from my teammates the most successful tools I've used are a console editor and tmux (potentially running on a VM if you don't trust your friend). For voice, mumble is my first choice because it is both low bandwidth and low latency. Tiger VNC works reasonably well to display a shared web browser. Nothing else I've tried has the fidelity and low latency to do serious pair programming for long periods of time when one person is really far away.

Having said that, almost anything works well if you are close to each other or if you are only going to pair for an hour or so. Even non-collaborative conference call-type tools work fine. One person does some work. Then they check in their code to a git repository. The other person merges the changes, shares the screen and picks up from there. It means about a 1 minute "keyboard handoff", but it's pretty reasonable.

For you, though, I think the main thing is trying to find a solution that allows you to capture video and audio from both parties easily. You don't want to be relying on two parties to record and then editing because it's pretty risky if something goes wrong. I would first look at mutli-gamer streaming setups and then start seeing how a collaborative session might be done.

Chemical imbalance (as a cause of depression or anxiety) is just a hypothesis (one of many). It's heavily used for marketing, because people can easily imagine something behind it, that's easily corrected by what companies sell (more chemicals), but it's most probably nonsense.

Annecdotal, but I've experience this personally. These rankings grossly neglect the availability of entry level jobs. And you end up studying a bunch of stuff that is borderline useless for any other career path on a practical level.

I consider trying to become an actuary one of the greatest mistakes and waste of time in my life.

When I switched to programming, it was like some kind of magical door opened and all of a sudden and the process of finding an entry level job was no longer the equivalent of banging my head against the wall, repeatedly.

Doesn't that mostly apply to all serverless platforms? Serverless is cheap and allows cloud providers to use excess capacity to allow small pieces of software to run, scaling almost infinitely[0]. But it is always vendor lock-in, whether you choose Azure or Amazon. It is a propietary platform but that applies for most of the cloud if you use services that don't exist elsewhere (Azure blobs, Azure Cosmos DB, etc)

I can't believe you're missing the Snapchat-esque use-case. People are already augmenting their faces, this technology is right up the same alley.
You’re shocked but have no insight that you might be contributing to the problem.
I don't know that gender per se fixes it. Historically, men were in charge of certain kinds of work, the kind that is now paid, and women were in charge of other kinds. These complemented each other.

As we move away from traditional family and tribe or community based social organization towards more paid work, our male leadership patterns seem to have become more dominant and we have lost that balance. Women with serious careers are frequently socialized to lead like men and they are sometimes harsher than the men as if to "prove" themselves or out of bitterness.

I'm not sure how to fix this, but the Jessica Livingston story seems to be the exception, not the rule. From what I gather, she and Paul started the company together as equal partners and he soon roped his previous business partners into it. But it was initially the two of them.

When you have a male dominated organization and women rise through the ranks, they seem to typically be broken of such feminine leadership styles. They typically have to lead like a man to get promoted.

I'm not sure how we get there because currently the default expectation is that women learn to lead like men to get leadership roles.
The only thing I did was find the hiring managers for jobs I was interested in, but to be honest you don't even need premium for that. It's blending more and more into some generic social media monstrosity and wild west playground for recruiters to spam you even when disabling the option for hearing about new opportunities.

Seems like they are well aware of this hack.

Skimming through the article, it seems the attacker can register himself in the system but not read data from the system. Also, there's no mention of 1.2B records being compromised.

True, but my point was that you already have to contend with the reality of objects that exist but which are beyond the visible universe. Where are all those shopping carts going? You can't hide the ball there without eliciting even more questions than you answer.

Limiting discussion to the visible universe (to a "finite" universe by eliding messy details) can mislead by creating seeming contradictions. It's sort of like saying that evolution doesn't exist (as a first order approximation) because the lineage from ape to man is just too
complex and doesn't really matter; let's simplify things by eliding that lineage so we have an easier time analogizing human morphology and genetics as it relates to practical questions. It can work superficially but even laymen will have a sense that things don't add up, not to mention that it doesn't help resolve the more important "big" questions often implicit in any discussion.

The fact that the universe is likely infinite stems from experimental results confirming topological characteristics that reflect infinite space. Fortunately, when you try to conceptualize phenomena like the Big Bang, a flat, open infinite universe actually makes things simpler, IMO.

If I get it:

India has a biometric database with 1B people on it!

... wow ... just wow ...

And adding new people to it is now compromised by a publically available hack, although getting 1B biometrics on board must have had an error rate that would be scary anyway.

The UUID created is needed almost everywhere, like driving license numbers elsewhere.

How much of the scare is "People can be added once but under incorrect names" perhaps wiping out criminal pasts? or "people can be added more than once"

The second is surely a search problem?
Depends what you mean by web apps or how you're going to code them.

If you're using something like React or Vue, then I'm guessing any CMS used as a headless API would probably be ideal, since the system would only be used for creating content/the admin area.
There have been recent studies which show that universe is probably "flat" though.
This doesn't sound like it's fucking me, though. I'm still getting the stock for exactly what I asked, correct?

Not quite: According to the cosmological standard model, the visible universe will continue to grow (ie new galaxies will continue to come into view) - but only asymptotically, ie until a maximum size given by the comological event horizon is reached. However, the parts of the universe that aren't gravitationally bound to us will become fainter and fainter and increasingly resdhifted, and eventually, we'll be unable to detect other theoretically visible galaxies due to technological limitations.
"Only half of people talk to their employer about health and MH issues"

Well there might be something systemic there.. like the culture of a lot of companies to "manage out" what they see as "troublesome" employees -- union reps and members, the unhealthy...

It is a running theory that space time could be curved and wrap, or be more traditionally flat, or even be some kind of saddle that means it is still curved but never meets itself again like a sphere does. Recent studies point to it being flat though, if I remember correctly.

I read something by him. He's a primatologist.

One year, the "alpha" female of the group at the zoo died. For months, he couldn't figure out who took her place.

One day, there was an ugly conflict. He expected it to result in blood being spilled.

Then the quietest and meekest of the three older females began slowly walking towards the two fighting males. Behind her trailed a procession.

She sat down and began grooming one of the males. That was the end of the fight. No one dared start it back up and he finally knew who the new alpha female was.

You might enjoy some of his writing.
> On a full flight there's really no need to check at all. If too many people board you'll catch it when the spurious passenger tries to take a paid passenger's seat.

Well, but that's an assumption and an edge case.
Per item? Sure. For small numbers of items, counting time spent waiting? Heck no, I regularly get through self-checkout much faster than people who get into a regular queue, in no small part because there's often a few times more self-checkout scanners than there are open checkouts.

When you have a full cart or two, the speedier scanning at a traditional checkout pays off. But usually both are available, not just self checkout, so you're free to choose when that isn't the case.
The City with Grand Designs
I also tried actuarial science out, just barely failing the first test twice (you need 6 out of 10 to pass, I got 5 both times). I say this as a software engineer: actuarial science is hard. There is a ton of material and the tests are easily the most insidious you will ever take.

To give an example of the insidiousness, imagine a calculus problem that has about 6 or 7 steps required to solve this - calculate the derivative, then reduce it, and maybe a sum after that. Actuarial science problems are like that as well. The tests (at least the first two) are mutiple choice, 5 answers. Each “choice” has one of two situations for wrong answers.

- The answer is the correct number but it’s the number you arrive at stage 5 of solving the problem (instead of the final stage), so you are tricked into thinking you are done when you actually have more steps to go

- the number is what you arrive at when you make a common mistake

- some combination of the above

I will say I was told (at least) that passing one or two of the tests is enough to land you a full time entry level job (and entry level for an actuarial scientist is still really good)
There's often an inverse correlation between hard work and salary. People who have to work extra jobs to make ends meet work harder than anyone else. If you have a salary that makes you comfortable, you're less likely to try and kill yourself for the marginal money.

Generally, rewards come from working smarter, not harder. Also, it's hard to make a lot of money purely on a wage. You usually need capital appreciation or other income streams for that.
If you don't care about licensing, you should absolutely not default to a copyleft license. You should only ever use a copyleft license when you intentionally and explicitly want copyleft behavior.

The truth is, unless you're spending a significant amount of time building a high-quality, highly-useful piece of software, as well as marketing it, no company is going to pay you for your open-source software regardless of its license. If you are spending the time and effort necessary to produce something a company will go through the trouble of licensing, then you should be giving a lot of thought to the license you're using already instead of just going with a "default".

As far as actually making money off of open-source work, by far the best way to do that is to leverage your open-source contributions into getting a highly-payed job at one of the big companies. For these purposes, the actual license of the work is pretty much irrelevant, except that using a more permissive license is likely to result in having more users of your component, which in turn gives you as the author more prestige and therefore makes you a more valuable hire.

So basically, if you don't want to give any thought to the license you should use for a particular project, you should default to a permissive one. You can always relicense it later if you decide it's turning into something that might actually be valuable enough for companies to pay for.
I wonder how many of you actually maintain and support enterprise CMS systems, like Sitecore or Sitefinity? Looks like the majority of the people here are homegrown hackers/devs, that either don't work in a company having a heavy CMS, or tend to prefer building everything themselves. Well, everything except the content management itself.

The tendency is to have very light front-end, while consuming the content from some services. At the same time, content clouds and headless CMSes haven't really taken off yet.
Good luck to the government changing everyone's biometrics now. This is why biometrics should never be used for something like this, especially when it requires a centralized entity to store all the biometric data, making it a very appealing target to all the malicious hackers in the world.

At least Apple, etc, keep the a hash of the biometric data in a secure enclave on each device. Storing biometric data in a centralized database is beyond reckless, no matter who does it.
Frequency matters, not just energy. There’s a reason microwave ovens operate at the frequency they do.

You’d be better off citing evidence that the frequencies used in 5G don’t have adverse long term effects on biological systems.

We’ve had millions of years to evolve complex biological systems to deal with the radiation from visible and UV light spectrum. Microwave radiation, not so much. It’s fine for people to be cautious.

Hi Justin,

I noticed that you've scaled the business quite quickly since inception a year ago, growing to around 100 employees.

I see a lot of advice saying to keep growth to only ~2x FTEs per year to preserve culture. How do you reconcile that with your hyper-scale financing and hiring trajectory?

Thanks, really appreciate your thoughts.
In Europe specialist jobs are highly taxed. Knowing that every month you have to give away almost 40% of your earnings, how much you had to sacrifice, you start to question whether it all makes sense. Way out is to take anti depressants and pretend everything is fine or ask for a raise so that you get your net pay and what you have been paying in taxes and then try to ignore even more tax you have to pay.
If Social security´s COLA actually works, devaluing the dollar won’t help much —- the liabilities will stay the same in real terms. If it doesn’t, inflation is really just a blunt tool to cut benefits without politicians needing to make a recorded vote on the issue.

I'm pretty certain cultural and social conditioning is a large, if not the entire, part of the problem with poor mental health (and not just poor mental health!). Take this line from Andrei Tarkovsky's Sculpting in Time: "Modern mass culture, aimed at the 'consumer', the civilisation of prosthetics, is crippling people's souls, setting up barriers between man and the crucial questions of his existence, his consciousness of himself as a spiritual being." This is not something new. The severity of the problem has just heightened because of the information age.

But otherwise, since this topic interests me greatly, I would definitely love to hear why you might think poor mental health may be due to something like culture and politics? Possible solutions?
”Labour protection here is insane too. It's not cheap for small and medium companies. And there is a thing that makes it even more complicated for startups: legally, the owner of the company is in charge of the labor debts even when the company is broken. So, if your company broke, you can't close it until you pay all the labor debts, and if you don't pay, you can lose your home or other assets that belong to you, not to your company;”

This is pretty normal, you need to lay off people before you run out of money to pay them. You don’t gamble with your employees paychecks.

As a business owner, you get the upside if business is going great. The downside is that you, the owner, only get paid if there is money left over after you pay your employees.
