In a similar boat; I switch between multiple AWS, Gmail, Digital Ocean, GCP, etc accounts and it just didn't handle a 'full on power user'. I dev everything in Chrome and just utilize pinned tabs still.

The autolaunch was also very annoying. Having user profiles or personas to handle all my logged in states for that user would be awesome. let me know when that's in there and I will get it another try.

I host a few services for family/friends/clients and am also working on a couple of projects at a time so I am forever switching accounts on a weekly basis.
>Never call yourself a junior software developer - fight to keep “junior” out of any title.

I'd second this. "Junior developer" is generally just used to pay developers less.
Inversely – and I've seen loads of people, myself included, with this problem — learn when to quit and ask for help.
Is it immoral to only spend 50% of the time at work productively?
I feel that people often make a big deal of somebody using 5 minutes of Facebook a day during the boss' time. I have the feeling that the average person only works 3 hours effective per hour, most people don't do that much and lie to themselves.

Should I feel bad for feeling that I should not feel bad about spending 4 hours a day productively as I still seem to get paid more and be more productive than most other colleagues.

At school I was told that when people start working their office work, that they work so hard and people have it so bad, but I feel lots of us are being extremely moralistic and hyper-critical of others, making them feel quilty, while being quiet lazy themselves.

Should I really work my ass of 8 hours per hour or should I just feel good with myself if with working 4 hours per week the results are better than average anyway?
As has always been. Academia is a trailing indicator for the job market, except in a very small group of innovative fields.

> Can I just admit I have no idea and just write down random numbers that aren't obviously wrong?

Seems fair enough to me, probably because thats what I do. At the end of the day nobody knows how long it will take unless they can tell the future.

I think scope is something my estimates are missing, for example if some one says their roof is leaking they may just need a broken tile fixed or they might need a new roof, without a proper scope of what I'm estimating the estimate is too open ended.
I will come for your money, but I might want your brains first :)
It’s called ‘predictive dialing’.
Maybe it really is a cultural difference. I think there is a continuum of valuations at work here:

If a contractor gets his materials cheaper or does have cheaper labor available, I don't see any obligation or market process to pass these savings onto clients, when the work is of the same quality.

On the other hand, when you delegate work to an expert, and he doesn't tell you about the 99% savings you could employ with existing technologies, I feel this is bad conduct, regardless of output. It just amounts to a 9900% markup on his value. I don't think this kind of markup is ethical, but probably the market will catch up to this expert and revalue him.
If company expects 60+ hours per week, and not just in some rare bursts, they will almost never come to senses and scale back to some normal work/life balance. You just need to leave.
Yes, israel is the only super-powered country in the region. To blame for all that is awry in the region.
I once made holidays on a cruise ship- and as soon as we neared haifa the port, i suffered erectile dysfunction. I blame those xanadoonians!

At this point, israel is about to become a new Arabic word for "shirking ones responsibility as a adult" - that's certainly what i hear when they rage on and on about it.

Of course, the grapes might be sour, because if your neighbor gets something done, with his piece of dessert in the sun, and you dont- something uncomfortable creeps into the daylight. Maybe not all cultures create equally worthwhile outcomes - given the current circumstances.

It is a shame to see you downvoted here for linking to that well-argued article. I know Jordan Peterson seems to have quite an impact on young men, but for older folks who have been around for a while, it is easy to see him as just this era’s Carlos Castaneda or other shallow (and probably rather ephemeral) spiritual guru.

Treat the "Universe" that was created in the big bang like a firework that has just gone off. The "boundary" of the universe is just the size the explosion has expanded to for a given time. And today, 13.8B years after the big bang, our universe is 46.5 billion light-years in diameter. But just like a firework explosion, there isn't really a solid border to it that you can plant a stake or flag in.

We have no clue what is beyond the explosion itself and, for intents and purposes, that expanse is infinite by current understanding. Does that expanse contain other explosions? Don't know, there hasn't really been an observed overlap so far.

Now I think I don't understand it! :o)

So, flow velocity is simply the fluid mechanical velocity vector field/mapping. And it has to be constant, otherwise the object would not be in equilibrium, but it'd be still flowing (as in it would have parts that are going somewhere).

Now I think this definition you have found is not directly applicable to rotating celestial bodies, as the point velocity is a vector, and it constantly changes due to the rotation.

So probably a higher order derivative is zero, and that's the condition that we should use.

Or of course we can transform to a non rotating frame.

But what the parent poster said confuses me: "a velocity that may be changing, but the change in velocity with position is smooth, or the object would be ripping itself apart. This means the object has flow." You can have smooth and constant rotation but with many axes (tumbling), so I don't really see how this gets us to roundisness.

As I understand the concept, the point is that "the object doesn't have parts that want to fall toward its center of gravity, but can't because rigid forces", because it's big enough that gravity creates enough pressure and heat that everything becomes plastic over thousands of years, and thus flows. (But this doesn't make much sense, because cold enough rock is pretty stable - as far as I know - so the material will only allow gravity to overcome it if it undergoes enough crystal structure faults [due to radioactive decay or exogenous damage, such as micrometeorites] - so the flow rate is constant, zero, even if there are stresses and forces that would increase the flow.)
I see. I basically only get blank calls.
Needs a "Boomer: " prefix or "says boomer" postfix.

"I’m surprised to see online videos at the bottom of the list with just 16%. I suspect that this percentage is higher among millennials and lower among baby boomers. I prefer to read about how to do something as opposed to watching a video — that is, unless I’m trying to take something apart to fix it. Having a video is often better than looking at photos or drawings."

I guess that the responsible thing is to let this article fade into irrelevance, but I felt like sharing.

The more fond you are of your tools, the less likely you may be to try others. Don't develop preferences too quickly. Try not to emotionally invest yourself in decisions you've made about languages, libraries, editors, operating systems, and other technologies that you will spend thousands of hours with. Technology changes so quickly that you can easily find yourself mastering a local Maxima where others have already left and moved onto higher ground. Try new technologies and adapt with the times.

BTW I have always wondered why do only the major political parties and their allies ever use bots for political influence. Obviously, real geeks could do much better at this if they would want and there probably are many gray/black hat hackers that would probably not hesitate for just moral/legal reasons but there still seems to be no bots that would try to influence something like the votes on net neutrality, ACTA/SOPA, the European Internet copyright law etc.
OpenCompute look interesting on the surface, but it seems like the "server owners" listed at https://www.opencompute.org/sp/open-compute-project-solution... consists of mostly larger corporations.

Appears to mostly be an enterprise offering; I'm not quite sure if any of these companies would sell me a server for personal use. And even then I don't think I'd be able to request control over the various keys they're in control of (ie request the work be done to get me keypairs of my own, which I do think is theoretically possible).

Hmph.

Given that I don't know which generation and country you are from, it is hard to counteract. I don't know who or what causes your great-^n-grandparents were fighting for. I have no idea about link between past wars and whatever your generation is undoing.

If anything else it sounds a bit like caricature. Past generation fought against others of the past generation. Members of past generations have different interests and some have good life others bad. So maybe it is more about which sub-group of whatever generation is winning and able to effectively push for own interests.
I agree, the causation is likely due to the fact that kids who are good at playing chess early on keep playing chess, which by default gives them years of additional training and experience more. As opposed to someone who has only started at 18, they are going to have a hard time competing not due to their intelligence or genius-factor, but lack of training.

I suspect Zircon will also be similar. The next step will be to create silicon that better fits how Zircon works.

Which is basically enabling breaking problems down into smaller pieces and then scheduling those pieces on different cores to work together to get a job done.

Kind of enabling scaling out versus up on a SoC or in a server.

With a monolithic kernel that was very difficult to do.
Same thought here.

I've been playing squash for like 4 years and I still very much suck at it. The reason I stuck with it soo long is that we don't count points when we play. It's just for the fun of it, for the running, the goofy plays etc.

Recently though I'm not enjoying it as much as I used to. What I realised is that, because of the way we've been playing it, I also have the mental comfort of just walking away from it the second it stops being enjoyable without the feeling of "wasting" a couple of years.
That's because you're asking "Put me in charge and I'll tell you what needs fixing", instead of telling them what needs fixing first. I'd see if you can start with a thing or two, making sure to organize a presentation or something to present your work and the direct benefits from it - making sure to invite the managers' manager if possible. Alternatively, send an email to important people about the success.

> At what stage do Gazan start behaving like responsible adults rather than blaming the Great Satan?

I stopped breaking your legs - at what stage do you start behaving like a responsible adult and run again rather than blaming me ?

Also, Israel's chokehold on Gaza has relaxed - but it is still a chokehold. And Egypt isn't helping either. How do you expect Gaza to function without an airport (destroyed by Israel), without a significant harbour and without even reasonably permeable land crossings ?

If you'll forgive me for adding some of the usual anecdotal noise to this discussion, I have been surprised before by how well older lenses perform with modern sensors. For example, I bought a Nikon 40mm f/2.8 G AF-S DX Micro to replace an ancient 55mm pre-AI Micro Nikkor, but found that the Micro Nikkor produced noticeably sharper results. I was using a D3300 with a 24MP APS-C sensor. The pixel density of that sensor exceeds the practical resolving limit of 35mm film in the 1960s by a wide margin. (It would be a 50MP sensor if it was full frame.)
I would assume the GP means "to mentor and host workshops".
In some cases offering money _is_ the best way to offer support. When goods are donated they're often not what's actually needed, or not in the proportions required. Planet Money covered this in an episode: https://www.npr.org/2015/11/27/457565052/food-banks-pickle-g... (transcript rather than episode link). This relates to food banks, but it also affects other organizations: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/03/aid-workers-at... .

If you can't offer that support then I suspect that spreading the word about these projects is the next best thing.

It takes some real unique ability to look at Gaza's map and missing the fact that it has a very long border with ... Egypt.
So even if Gaza is an "open air prison" there is more than one guard to it.
It is disgusting that the BBC uses "coding" as the clickbait, and then proceeds to use nearly 50% of the article to discuss politics. We all know the politics, but this felt like a cheap way to get us to discuss it, even though what we really wanted was to read about tech in Gaza. It's articles like these that fuel the conflict by "sneaking one over" the readers to try to sway their opinion one way or another.

UPDATE: 3 of the 5 pieces of non-text media discuss politics and war rather than tech. Do you need any more proof?
And the funny thing is this wouldn't have happened and VW would've likely been one of the bankrupt carmakers in the future if they hadn't been caught cheating on emissions and then forced by both the US government and the public to switch to EVs.

Musk was actually one one of those asking the US government to force VW to build EVs instead of just taking a large(r) fine from them.

If VW hadn't been caught they would've likely continued to be among the very last to switch to EVs because they knew they could rely on the cheating software to pretend that their cars are super efficient and can avoid penalties against new pollution laws longer.
Don't overestimate reading an article about Kubernetes. It creates awareness of the concept and what it could offer, but that is not the same as going wide, it is too superficial.
The problem with current ai right now is that it's very complicated and recent work (meaning the tools required are not for everyone), so it's more research than anything else. Most programmers don't really have a clue of how machine learning works when it works well enough, so that's really few people.

And so far, what applications in the real world are we seeing that are good enough and are actually useful to justify the investment? You cannot really trust self driving cars yet, and researchers don't have an insight on a deep neural network and how to use those results.

I have the feeling deep learning is another excuse to justify selling hardware.

I wish there was more research done at a higher level in Neuro sciences, to have a better definition of general intelligence.

You can criticize Israel as much as you want. But what people so often do is to apply different morals to Israel and other countries. And that's is pure antisemitism.
> It's not clear to me how DHH gets the money for his auto racing hobby.

Judging by his clothes, the answer seems to be "sponsors." And, looking at the things like race tracks and racing schools, it seems like entering auto racing isn't exactly cheap, but for _well paid_ folk - as Basecamp seems to be — it's far from unachievable. No surprise really, I know people working things like support for generic companies getting into airplanes.

And, thanks to the attitude of work/life balance, vacation and health coverage (I mean, obviously I'm not talking about the US), they have the time and security to actually pursue the hobbies.
I’ve recently switched to the Google WiFi Reuters. I have to say they are pretty easy to use and work great. By default they send usage data to google but one can disable that.

They have pretty advanced setting if desired though by default everything is vanilla.

Isn't someone who played with e.g. k8s more likely to understand scaling than someone who never cared about it though?
> there's nothing wrong with that concept

Indeed there is nothing wrong with any concept. If they wanted to show some systemic bias they should also publish a study about how to train women like dogs to attack men.

> Reject studies that have implausible findings?

Yes (if by implausible you mean unconvincing). Reject and resubmit with more powerful statistics.

> or publish it and let people follow up and do their own studies

Indeed , like good software, you publish a barely functioning version and let others find the bugs /s

> authors are welcome to suggest anything that like as a result of their research

Not really, editors will often tone you down. Otherwise we might do away with peer and editorial review.

I think you are advocating for 'anything goes' publishing here. Sure but then these journals should not call themselves scientific, it's a travesty to co-opt that name to validate their existence. Which in the end proves the point the author makes.

The author clearly has an agenda here, that's why they re publishing a blog, not a "science journal"
It's tempting to feel like asking numerous questions can be "bugging people". Unless they tell you "Sorry, I'm busy today from X to Y" (they should if they respect their own time), look at it as providing the opportunity to teach

It sounds silly at first but for those of us who like to share what we learn, or think others aren't interested, we love it when anyone has questions for us!

Don't be afraid of failing a lot either. Personally I've learnt a great deal of things just because I tried to do nonsense things that failed and taught me a lesson.

I first dove into unicode (and did a talk at a meetup) because I had this absurdly stupid idea to make a program that "prints hotdog emojis every X minutes". It didn't work but just asking "Why?" lead me to a lot of answers and even more questions.

Notice how we're not actually discussing tech in Gaza, but rather how Israel needs to be sanctioned/destroyed/annihilated. That was the original intent of this article. "Tech in Gaza" was just clickbait, but nearly 50% of the article discussed the war with Israel. This was a CHEAP TRICK to stir up discussion about the war. Once again, the Palestinians who actually want to do something good have been turned into little puppets for someone else's political agenda. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for taking part in it!

UPDATE: Of the 5 pieces of non-text media in the article, 3 are not about tech at all, but rather about war and politics.

Representative democracy can be done right. An independent Anticorruption Agency with investigatory and prosecutory powers irrevocably granted by the constitution, but with narrow scope, can work wonders.

Of course, above a critical mass of amassed power/popularity, nothing can stop a dictator to simply do re-found the state with a new constitution, but at that point it's very much a coup anyway.
