Never Ever Stop From Learning.
The skills that you have now may be top notch and covering all of today's trendiest technologies; but in possibly less than 5years, most of these will be outdated, and your expertise obsolete. Specialize yourself, but do it everyday, on everything - try new technologies, feel free not to adopt them in your daily job, but try them. Keep in mind that every year, new guys come out fresh from school and will be as in sync with the technology landscape of that time as you are now - and you do not want to lose to them because you never took 1 hour to try the then-Docker - you want to be able to criticize the then-Docker because _you_ will be able to compare it to the past things that you will have already encountered, enjoyed or suffered from.

Luck is a major factor.

Some things that might help:

- ask lots of questions, listen, and take notes
- be humble and gracious when you receive feedback. Most people avoid mentorship because its really hard to deliver negative feedback delicately. Easy to avoid it altogether. Ask for feedback actively, and start with: "what can I do better here?" or even better, before starting "how would YOU attack this problem?"
- scout the organizations you want to work for ahead of time. Creep linkedin profiles, etc. Do you have similar interests to the senior devs (which will allow you to connect on personal level)?
Nope, it says "50,000 non-native species". Invasive species are those non-native species that are thought to be harmful to the local ecosystem. Some non-native species can actually be beneficial. The Wikipedia article doesn't offer any number on how many of those 50,000 are invasive, but other sources suggest less than 10%.
I love windows, but multi-desktop is nicer on mac because it's all controlled with touchpad gestures. The way we (or I at least) interact with windows and apps makes sense that we can just see all apps as thumbnails and then drag them to any desktop we like
What's the current tax on a base Tesla Model S?
So my original question was. Once the competition is gone... what happens? This a government regulation problem not a monopoly problem.
There's System76 and Dell's new Ubuntu laptops. The problem just might be about Linux support in general
> A single photon cannot have mass because it has zero energy in the reference frame where it is at rest (zero net momentum)

I didn't catch this before, but it is not correct. There is no such thing as a frame in which a photon is at rest.
> Instead, why not let the mountain go to Mohammed?

Isn't this already fulfilled by nature documentaries?

> That's where the digital is actually better than the physical

I really disagree. While it would be neat actually be a tiger for a day, seeing and hearing what a tiger hears through your digital display is not the same.

I would wager that digitally experiencing nature from our comfortable cities does not raise that same connection to nature that one gets from actually being out there and experiencing it with _all_ of their senses.

Seeing a forest is one thing. Hearing, smelling and feeling a forest as your walk through is a completely different experience. Without that more complete experience I doubt people will form meaningful bonds with the natural environment to the point that they want to change their behaviours to protect it.
I would share the following principles to apply to your career (from my martial arts studies):

Be Honest.

Be Humble.

Respect self and others.

Practice diligently.

Seek perfection of character.

And would also share the following quote from Hiroshi Saito (CEO of Chateraise) which I came across later in life and thought it helps to change your perspective:

Everything outside of me has something to teach me.
It could have been Excel plus Word and maybe some other utilities that I don't remember. It was "Office-like".
It's much much worse than that. They are still tracking you even when you opt out. And there is increasing evidence their search product is filtered based on their political beliefs. So it's not showing you the actual internet anymore and it spies constantly.

Eventually you'll learn what errors can be ignored, what are useless information, and which ones are sending you down a path that will waste time. But only start skipping and skimming once you've learned what to look for, and always be prepared to toss out the old knowledge when working on a new system.

Also, when you have far too many logs, reading in reverse chronological order works most of the time, but not all the time. Generally the last error you are looking at is the error you want to find and fix, but always consider that sometimes an earlier error that seems unrelated can be the reason a later error is even possible.
> "Mass" (rest-energy) is a simplification that is useful for approximations and conceptualizations.

Yes, but not in a context where radiation is present, since radiation can have energy but has no rest mass (rest energy).
I have a Mac now, use Windows regularly, and used a Surface a while back. I can't comment on modern Surface hardware, but I can comment on my feeling bouncing between ecosystems.

I use Windows because it can do more: it can play games, it can do VR stuff, it can run almost any program.

However I prefer using a Mac when I can because it feels like the people who made it actually care about attention to details and design (even when they fail).

With Windows it feels like elegance and great design is never a core priority until it measurably begins to damage metrics. Popups will constantly be telling you about the newest feature with no thought for how that might be distracting you or interrupting your flow as a user. You can turn off most of these popups, but it's on a case by case basis and they're always introducing more.

Something like "settings" in Windows is a convoluted mess of generations of settings pages, presumably kept this way under a "If it's not broke, don't fix it" mindset.

Windows gradually is peeling control away from the user, and not in an Apple "we know best" kind of way. Things like the login screen default to an image chosen by Microsoft each day, which is actually kind of cool! The lame thing is that there are popups explaining the newest thing they want to advertise, or how to use some Windows feature. I virtually always ignore these, but they certainly don't make me excited about buying a $1,000+ Surface just to see ads on the lock screen of my premium device each day.

Updates in Windows have lately felt as if you're dealing with a pushy negotiator and you never know what the terms you agreed to actually are. The updates feel like they serve Microsoft's purposes, not yours, if only because of how they try to trick you into agreeing to them. Meanwhile the language of the updates attempts to sound friendly, but it comes across as insultingly disingenuous because of the actual behavior of the UX. They've slowly improved this experience, but only after countless negative news articles.

And then the computer comes with a bunch of bloatware preinstalled. Sure it's not as bad as buying a laptop used to be, but it's discouraging because Surfaces are meant to feel like premium products. Now Windows 10 comes with a bunch of lame games installed and by default put on your start menu. You have to cleanup the start menu when you get the computer.

There are dozens of further examples I can cite, but what I'm getting at here is Windows as an operating system doesn't feel like a personal elegant operating system to be paired with a premium device.
This is how hybrids work at low speeds. They use 2 motor/generators - 1 to push the wheels, and the other to refill the batteries.

Most hybrids use a slightly different engine, which is more efficient but generates less force. The hybrid transmission can add torque when accelerating or going uphill.

The engine must get less wear. My Camry Hybrid only needs an oil change every edit: 10,000 miles.
The fact that they added a setting means nothing. Settings in Chrome seem to randomly (but maybe not randomly?) get rolled back from time to time. Are you going to check the setting every day?
I find the bread crumb in the navigation bar of the Windown File Explorer does 90% of the work the columns did. Its advantage is that it takes a lot less screen real-estate, can show more levels at once, which in turn allows navigating further up faster. Its only downside is that to go up and then down takes two clicks instead of one. OTOH, with columns, you an onyl do this if you go up only one level or two, given that the number of visible columns is much more limited than the bread crumbs.

Overall, I think the bread crumbs is a win, especially given the balance between real estate vs frequency of use.

What you’re looking for is the CloudKey. It is the local Controller and can be accessed via “the Cloud” if needed, but not mandatory. I tried running the Java controller on my Mac, it worked but sucked. Having an independent dedicated piece of hardware is worth every penny IMO.

I wonder whether anyone with some proficiency in Python will have an easier time doing things in Jupyter (with Pandas, etc.), than a spreadsheet.

I'm curious to hear about things which are easy to do in Excel, but hard in the Jupyter workflow.
there is ALWAYS a choice for people

A person I know is super smart but has a felony conviction. I've seen him ace tons of interviews but fail background checks repeatedly. If he mentions the felony upfront, he doesn't get interview calls. I'm sure he'd be willing to put up with 50 hour work weeks, if it means he can get a decent job.

There are thousands of skilled people who are on work visas getting exploited by employers and shitty recruiters. It isn't easy for them to change jobs and they can't start a business on work visas, even if they have the skills to do so.

when you aren't willing to roll up your sleeves and do the work.

When we are healthy, young and single, we can spend 70 hour weeks building our own businesses (or go to school while working etc) until we reach a comfortable level. This gets increasingly harder as we age, start a family etc.

Not saying you are wrong, just some counter points ...
Wealthy will never pay tax. Owners do not pay tax, the people who buy thier products pay the taxes which are built into profit models. If it was a question of fairness everyone would be the owner. Governments should spend only what they can collect. They can't face budget shortfalls unless they are lending in the hopes that taxes flow as they are. States are still trying to recover from borrowing against tax revenue in the 90s.
I always repost this amazing essay in case someone missed it when it rose to the top of HN.

In some very large enterprises, that's not far off the mark unfortunately.

Large corporate governance is at best, a shitshow.
> As for the DAF, he can never retrieve that money, nor spend it on anything that's not for the public benefit.

That's that flaw. The money can be allocated to a charity that the donor controls. Or invested in a private e.g. hedge fund... also potentially controlled by the donor.
I mean, a move so elaborate and outrageous, it’s nothing more than a showy way to be terminated on one’s own terms and to save face. Like Mishima’s quixotic coup.
Several phone carriers have free anti-spam settings you can enable. The one for t-mobile has been pretty solid.
LinuxKit (as I understand it) is for building the OS itself. Buildpacks are a higher level abstract for building a complete application image (with the emphasis on application). They take app source code as input, and output a docker image that's ready for prod.
To go along with this: if you don't leave your comfort zone regularly, you're not learning and you're falling behind.
Well, I guess if you were to ask him "Do you still consider your role (or America as a country) to be the leader of the free world?" I assume he would answer "Yes."

However, he may think he is being a "tougher" leader than before.
I don't think MOOCS are the solution unless utilized in schools. The role of a school teacher working along with a MOOC would be more motivational and disciplinary, which is what most teachers seem to specialize in anyway. Separate the content from the distribution. Only problem is when every student is learning exactly the same things and having no room for thinking out of the box, but again that pretty much already happens...

Maybe even let studebs choose their own MOOCs from a list so that their education is mostly based in interest and is self guided?
The Chevy Volt is like this -- drivetrain is electric, gas engine is just a generator.
The idea is interesting and probably not unique. If you try to paint a diagram of it, how would that look? It's not time that is accelerating, so you don't just draw the time axis just longer with wider gaps between the minute marks. Which leaves me guessing and remembering my old, discrete notion that time is count of change of things, so that, for sake of argument, in one unit of time, one state change happens. In that setting, it doesn't make sense to say a change was further apart than another. Actually, information decreases, thermodynamically speaking. So, tracking back infinitely, you'd have to start with an infinite amount of entropy, proportional to energy. But the theory assumes a fixed amount of energy, as far as I know.

And it's not that the lightspeed increases with time, either. Rather, so they say, space expands - which is imaged trivially by stretching the space axis. I suppose that's normalizing for time and you could just as well fix space and compress time, invariably, to arrive at your notion, with a total lack of rigour at that.

So normalizing for

I recently picked up the Surface Go and have been pretty bummed at how slow it is/feels. Have you not experienced any sluggishness with it?
Complain about US exceptionalism as you wish... but about 84% of the over 5 trillion daily FX market volume is USD trades. Why? Because literally no other market (country) has the liquidity, transparency, stability, and asset base carry this level of risk (or trust).

At the start, I thought these announcements and laws (eg Scotland) to ban ICE vehicles by 20XX were cheap politics. A promise Someone Else will deliver later, with credit due to you now.

I've come around though. I think all the bastardized carbon accounting, market based solutions are on average quite bad. The idea of a neutral, "market decides" policy is a myth. These things are complex, and that compmexity is an opportunity for regulatory capture.

For example, most European vehicle tax codes have been altered to reflect emissions.

The upshot is that (1) new vehicles are 20% ish more efficient (2) older vehicles become uneconomical faster (3) people who drive older vehicles clear pay more tax. (4) Switching from a 10yr old ICE hatchback to a new one can easily save you $500 pa. Going from a new "efficient" ICE to an electric will save you a fraction of that.

New car buyers pay less tax, old cars pay more. Vehicles hit junkyards faster. Manufacturers sell more cars. Over a decade we'll see a minor (maybe 20% at best) decrease in carbon emissions.

Very little environmental juice for a lot of poor and middle class squeeze. A nice little sales boost for VW.

There's a lot to be said for the simplicity of an outright ban. Ban ICEs. Ban commercial fishing. It worked for CFCs and market hunting. In retrospect, no one wishes we had split hairs with a complicated policy.
> that hasn't stopped it from getting 50mpg ratings

Is this the "50mpg under ideal laboratory conditions driven by an AI" or "as driven in a real city/highway by a human"?
The main problem is that most people taking these courses also have a “main” thing going on (job or school) and can’t dedicate 100 percent to self education. If self education was considered a legitimate third option besides job and school, the opinions would be different.

I’ve spent the last two years self educating myself (in addition to working on something). I’ve never felt so intellectually engaged and just idk alive? All the hard shit that you might struggle with becomes trivial if you spend a little more time on it.
Why sad? I think it's great. It's awesome that folks can stay where their families are, where they want to live, and participate in this awesome industry. It's going to bring so much more wealth to other parts of the world. We should celebrate that.

Congrats on expanding, looking forward to when you come to the midwest!
Not necessarily. They often have huge moats. And they often have highly profitable businesses just because competing is dreadfully hard and complex, so they can afford for their software that makes the business work to be sucky and slow.

The real danger for the big corporation business model is technological/social shifts wiping their business model out, not competition. I saw this when I worked at the Fed, years ago. I worked in a division that had two major financial products. One was 80% of their revenue and very powerful, a nearly billion dollar business. The other (what I worked on) was 20% of the division revenue. In the span of seven or eight years, those numbers flipped. The big line of business basically collapsed due to changes in the financial industry, and the smaller product basically ate all of its revenue and then some. This meant hundreds of layoffs and some very painful realignment at the executive level, including months wasted on a power grab.

Nice straw man: Retreating from Paris Agreement on Climate certainly is a kind of isolationism that is not welcome and viewed differently from military interventions around the world.

Would you grant 'the left' to at least have a consistent view, or do you insist on your simplistic world view?

Isn't this mostly because you don't know yet how the same features work in FF and DDG?
One really good thing to do is to switch from the mode of "when someone gives me a problem, I can solve it" to "I can find problems on my own."

This is:

* Much more satisfying, since it gives you control over your environment (https://rkoutnik.com/2016/04/21/implementers-solvers-and-fin...).

* Allows you get more done in less time (https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/08/25/the-01x-programmer/), which means you can work better schedule, instead of long hours (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/02/11/working-long-hours/).

* Makes you a much more valuable employee, and therefore gives you negotiating leverage - to say "no" to your boss (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/08/16/how-to-say-no/) but also to make more money or even reduce your workweek (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...).
In the US they're standard.

My comment was tongue in cheek. I do feel Chrome is v bloated these days though. Opera and Brave seem to run much more cleanly and faster
This. Also on Windows, all monitors switch desktops together whereas I really like being able to switch desktops on monitors independently, and I like being able to drag desktops between monitor which I seem to remember not working on Windows. And on Windows I can't drag to rearrange desktops. I don't know if rearranging desktops is possible at all.
Be aware of the latest trends but trust the oldest or most documented if it's something super important.
1) What's stopping these countries from blocking the hard-coded Google/Cloudflare IP addresses? Doesn't seem like a great solution technically speaking.

2) I wouldn't use this if I lived in China. Companies operating in China are required to turn over data about their users to the government. And Google is soon going to be partnering with China to release a censored version of their search engine[1]. Now they can provide the government your entire browsing history, not just your searches!

surely confining yourself to just one would limit the reselling of your data though? i.e just 1 company, instead of multiple will be peddling your privacy to other buyers
> But they are ALWAYS better off (in terms of money received in their bank account) by NOT GIVING TO CHARITY. There is no way to give money to charity in such a way that you end up with more money than if you had not given to charity.

No not necessarily, the charity's purpose itself can be to perpetuate and buoy a particular asset. It can be to develop the market for the asset.

Lets say you own a housing community and benefit from the demand and price of that housing community. You can donate cash you have, borrowed cash, an underdeveloped property, a whole house, or even shares of the housing community project.

In all of these circumstances you get a tax deduction, and yes that is moved off of your balance sheet. The charity could be formed for the purpose of building out the housing community and now it is funded and can do whatever necessary to make your housing community attractive, raising the value of all the rest of your assets. The charity isn't trying to make money (as revenues) so its doesn't encroach on commercial purposes.

As the charity spends it gets no tax deductions aside from its exemption to taxes in general. But your benefit is still long term capital gains. Therefore when you are an individual, the benefit isn't that clear because couldn't you just get the deductions from your own expensable efforts? Typically you wouldn't be the only entity donating to this charity. Other people in your industry would be using it for the same purpose, letting it be an autonomous entity fulfilling its narrow purpose. So then the benefit becomes more clear.
I presume that hybrid cars will solve this problem for remote travellers.
I suspect a lot of the reason things are now the way they are is simply because they have been / you want something stable (relatively) / just need to pick SOMETHING to standardize off of. There's a lot of politics and such that leaks into these discussions but really the reasons are pretty simple.
