My reasons why I am maniacal obsessed (yes, I think about it many times a day, every day) about early retirement (more like financial independence than retirement), in order of importance:

1) Grew up dirt poor and I have a constant fear of ending up there again (suffered a lot as a child/teenager when I didn't even have $3 for discretionary expenses, I was incredibly envious of my peers who were better off).

2) (Forced) ageism in the industry: it's incredibly true, regardless of the few outliers who will post here on HN saying "not true, I'm 89 and still professionally coding my life away".

3) Constant stress due to learning: I absolutely love this field and programming is the thing I'm the most capable of doing, but the amount of study I have to do to keep up with what goes on actively eats into my personal life and free time, I have to dedicate many hours a week just to be aware of what is happening in my areas (e.g. frontend development, devops, ...). It's very stressful, to the point where if I could go back I would choose to pursue a more "stable" highly-paid field (e.g. medicine) and keep programming as a hobby.

4) Corporate politics in big companies: it's insane how much of your time will be spent on useless stuff just to drive your manager's personal agenda, think about it. I've being victim of spending months on useless refactory of some even more useless application in big co.

5) Employees treatment in startups: startups tend to have interesting work, but absolutely truly horrible financial incentives, horrible risk/reward and horrible mechanics around equity compensation (and I speak as someone who has been relatively lucky in this field, since the first startup I was in made me ~$100k in equity, and the other one about ~$1M in equity, still less than what I would have made in FAANG, for which I had very lucrative offers, but didn't accept for the bullshit of the previous point).

I'm 32 btw.

I suppose we are both bad cynical people because I thought the same when reading the article
GDPR complaints say Amazon, Spotify, and others are breaking EU law
> Mr. Grantham is investing in technology that will show a profit because of climate change, it is a subtle difference but an important one to consider, sort of the grain of salt that should be taken with reading of the article.

I bookmarked this NY Times article years ago:

"Can Jeremy Grantham Profit From Ecological Mayhem?"

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/14/magazine/can-jeremy-granth...

That title puts his position in a bit different light. I haven't read this one yet but it would be interesting I guess to diff the two articles to see what has changed over the past 7-8 years.
> The author is basically showing how you improve performance by selectively tearing out more and more features C++ hands you out of the box.

In that case the author is showing what has been widely known by C++ developers for decades. In fact, the "don't use the STL because it's slow" is a mantra which, along with the old "replace STL's default allocators with your customized ones", is repeated ad nauseum in gamedev circles.
I accounted for the three watches in my comment.
>Aren't there plenty of non-native-gui desktop options already?

No, and most of them are crap like Electron.
One solution would be to make an automated filter for all my calls with the ability to manage a whitelist.

Is there an app for this?
I cannot fathom how people still use phrasing like "drugs and alcohol" and "drugs instead of vaping" etc.

How can there be such a disconnect, those are first class drugs! Is it cognitive dissonance, i.e. actively refusing to acknowledge it? It's pretty much universal too, not just one or two countries.
I haven’t seen a sample report, but doesn’t this mean the outcome could be, “you may or may-not be predisposed to xxx disease”. We need to spend $99 to know that?
Yes, this is an upside down story.

If the post analysis shows nearly identical DNA that's great.

The whole '% from this or that country' has to be necessarily fuzzy, because that's just a probability game anyhow.
>In the pre-sharing economy days this still happened. Only you vetted the sitter first and so you feel less justified blaming them because on some level you know you signed off on them. You also couldn't really go public and say "14 year old Jenny from Ashmore killed my dog" because you can't make a common enemy out of her

Back in the old days, you could hire your neighbor's kid to do jobs like this.

These days, no one is having kids, so you don't have any neighborhood kids to hire for odd jobs. Instead, people are all just adopting dogs instead, so we have to have big corporations to take care of them for us, apparently.
Either facial recognition will be done with Amazon software, or it will be done with government software. There is no third position in which government does not use facial recognition software.
Most engineers I know have not learned set theory or groups/rings/lattices. They still seem to be doing pretty well.
I've agreed with everything you said not only in this comment I'm replying to but also your original top level one -- it's just that it spurred the thought in my mind to ask the questions I did and say what I said. Hope it didn't come off otherwise.
Yeah... it's indentured servitude... chicken farmers take on millions in debt, and walk out with wages of $20-30K for 18 hour days x 7 days per week..
I think you’re specifically thinking of covered interest rate arbitrage, in which a trader borrows in one currency at a cheap rate, lends in another currency at a more expensive rate and uses a currency forward to hedge out the exchange rate risk, netting the rate differential in the process. It’s not truly ‘arbitrage’ in the formal sense;there are still some notable risks in such a trade.
Neural Networks for Music: A Journey Through Its History
What's the current data on the negative effects of vaping? I know it hasn't been out long yet, but I think nicotine has some slight negative effect, and then others complain about the polyethylene glycol.

Especially useful would be to see a burn-down chart of say, new smokers and new vapers of the same age range, and seeing cumulative lung disease and mortality, and seeing how the progress of that differs (or is the same).
Plyr is really good and has an impressive UI and accessibility. But there is no way extend the player with new complex functionality or a tighter integration with Shaka/hls.js/other ad providers/...

I think Plyr can be seen as a better and unified UI on top of a <video> element, while this is an extensible player 'framework'.
Basic topology is also important.
No no no, "science" can definitely deliver repeatable and accurate DNA sequencing, this much is beyond question. But that's expensive, and these companies sacrifice accuracy/repeatability to make it cheap.

Sad story. And just one more stake in the heart of NYT's credibility.
>This is what anti-Southerner prejudice looks like.

It's just anti $place_that_votes_redder_than_my_place. People in Boston say the same thing about Maine. People in Portland say the same thing about "the county" (Aroostook county, it's up there if you didn't guess from context).

Houston isn't red but it's redder than where most people on HN are from so the same rhetoric is applied to it (by some people).

There's similar rhetoric applied by (some) people in red voting areas to people from $place_that_votes_bluer_than_them.

Edit: Anyone care to tell my why I'm wrong rather than mashing the "this opinion is inconvenient" button?
group sessions keep you honest and help you work through high level stumbling blocks. You're expected/obligated to do a fair amount of solo pick-and-shovel work in between.
The research I've read [1] says that heart rate monitor in general and Apple Watch in particular should be pretty accurate. If you have darker skin or wider wrists that accuracy may be diminished.

I tend to agree, and since people are convicted and incarcerated on "DNA evidence," this seems an appalling and horrific indictment on the fairness of our court systems.
At this point it should probably be illegal to call something "private" when there is no guarantee of protections.

It's unfortunate not much of their architecture is publicly shared or discussed. With their massive amount of users and incredibly diverse service offerings I'd love to see their backend architecture design choices/tradeoffs.

Those onerous requirements were actually pretty ridiculous, and included having to basically memorize an entire street map of the city. That may have made some sense 40 years ago, but today we have GPS navigation, so we don't need cabbies to know how to get to any address off the top of their head. Uber/Lyft work well because instead of having your cabbie take you on some overly-long route just to jack up your fare, they have to follow the route prescribed by Lyft/Uber's GPS app, which takes the most optimal route.
There's a sticker on each box telling you what time it went out.
Because Dart allows static typing for speed (not just for checks), AOT compilation, and hot reload.

Java does the latter badly, and Javascript doesn't do static types and AOT (with the possible exception of someone's custom bizarro Rube Goldberg JS compiler).

It's also simpler than Java, saner than Javascript, and more under Google's vision and control than either.
Medium now wants to track what you read. So...no more medium for me. If you want people to be able to read your material then make sure you're using a platform that makes that material freely available to your readers without tracking. After all this was the original vision of the web.
Part of how you're supposed to use the dedicated higher-end models (I have a Garmin Forerunner 645) is that it's supposed to be pretty tight against your wrist. Even if you "wear your watch tight" it's probably not as tight as you're supposed to wear it for fitness purposes. If at any point you can't feel it or you forget you're wearing it, it's definitely not tight enough. This helps limit optical issues with movement but also largely eliminates the impact of sweat on the reading.

Still not nearly as accurate as the chest-based models as mentioned elsewhere, but for 95% of people it's plenty.
I program non-ferrous CNCs. Someone-who-wasn't-me crashed the head (router motor). $35k. Instantly. Breaking $160 bits is trivially easy.
That reminds me I read somewhere that ovens in residential kitchens are within 20 degrees F of the stated temperature, either because of the position in the duty cycle for the heating element or noise or bias in the temperature measurement. But no one decries ovens as shams.
They really are, and it's because of all of that salt!
Here’s a few guesses:

1. It’s not 100x (or even 2x) faster or significantly more stable than Apple Music

2. It’s always easier to make a nice app when starting from scratch versus trying to fix existing older software to be nice

3. Apple did a good job with their APIs
> I'd love it if we could filter calls unless they're from specific people during a specific time (e.g. family calls during work).

You can do this on android. I usually have Do Not Disturb enabled while I work and I put my buzzer number on the whitelist for deliveries.
The google photos icon is obviously a windmill, there's not whitespace for lines.
I used to love Navicat and have a copy but the UI was so unbearably slow, the only thing I use it for is user permissions. Maybe it's only on OS X, but the app was completely unusable compared to something like SQL Pro and I realized I was only using it because I had paid for it and it should have been not only usable but better. It really isn't. The UI slowness is so bad, the team that maintains it should be ashamed of themselves, especially for charging money. It's a native app after all! They can't even blame electron or whatever fw of the day for this, afaik.
You might want to brine it. Commercial does brine injection and depending on organic, that might not be the case.
that's true, and a more complete explanation.

i was taking the practical view that in most cases, the underlying options are reasonably priced and volatility is not highly unusual, so the practical upside is small at best. it's easy for the non-professional investor to lose money on these because you really need some extraodinary non-public information to exploit them.
Patreon's deplatforming policies are capricious and draconian because they have to keep financial partners happy, and the policies of those partners are capricious and draconian. Those with enough social media and commercial power can deal (in fact if TFA is believed it appears they can actually steer the machine of injustice). The author of TFA cannot deal, which is the entire point of TFA. We always knew in our hearts that "twitter as help desk" was unjust at some level. This is a concrete example of that.

[EDIT:] Now that I've read to the end of TFA, she buried the lede! This woman has been subject to so much shitty behavior! She was the third customer of a Patreon competitor, "SubscribeStar", and one of their largest customers, so the bastards just shut down the entire site. Now it appears that it's back up: https://www.subscribestar.com/posts/7863
>I programmed for a heavy machine shop for a year before I gave up and went back to making websites.

Yeah, very few people seem to be able to transition from "ship it now, fix it later" tech to programming for industrial purposes where you can't test everything without risking physical hardware. The other way around seems to be a much easier transition.

I get ten to twenty a day. If I'm bore and have a few minutes I'll answer and waste the persons time by asking vague questions.."oh which car warranty is expiring?".

They either hang up or start shotgunning large company names. I try to stall them a bit.

Then aggressively use Google fi to block and report as spam.

It's ridiculous that cell networks actively allow this. This should not be possible. And for US based spammers, they should arrest and prosecute every single person at the company. No exceptions. You are involved in a criminal conspiracy to commit fraud. Fuck throw Rico their way.

Many of the operations are overseas but there are plenty in the US.
I'm in the process of moving from macOS to Ubuntu for everything that is not my phone, and I was looking to replace Google Keep and Inbox as they are EOL this year. Found this note tool called Standard Notes (https://standardnotes.org/). Linux and iOS support, extensions, 2FA and encryption, and FOSS. Tried it out. Plunked down $150 USD for a five-year membership without further hesitation.
Start small. I would look at Stat 110 from Harvard, Strang's OCW lectures, and the intro calculus MIT course.

When you're done with that, it'll be easy to see where you want to go next.
Will you be adding servo support in the future?

Steppers are great, but anything big needs a servo, as the steppers get to expensive and too slow very quickly.

The justice system deeply misunderstands both science and statistics.
In the Philippines there is a chain of restaurants called Chicken Bacolod. The chicken is a bit smaller than the US but the taste is much better. I think that the chickens are allowed to eat bugs and root around in the dirt.
Well unless you're wearing a cuff you're not getting any blood pressure readings on your phone, and any "ECG-like trace" is a doodle at best as there's no electrical monitoring. Even chest straps that measure electrical output don't give you an ECG display.
That sounds reasonable, until you have to debug an issue that only manifests itself when working with a huge dataset, in which case the whole thing becomes pretty much unusable. As the article says, debug mode is expected to be slower, but the difference between MSVC and the other 2 is just crazy.
I use an Apple device- I haven't dug too deeply into what I can do here, but it's my next mini-project.

I was going to say "Medium's annoying about asking you to log in, but you don't have to". And then I realized clearly they have just made a change. This should be bigger news, wow.
Sadly that's why I don't have a dog.

I just love dogs, especially large ones. While growing up, there has always been a dog with me. At the time I was living in the countryside so they always had lots of space and could go inside or outside as they pleased.

Now as an adult living in San Francisco, I just don't see how I could have a dog. Keeping the animal inside a small space almost all the time sounds very cruel.

So I might have a dog again in 10 or 20 years if I move to the countryside .. but probably not before that.
Is it possible that a 10-year old can be summoned in front of a judge in Texas?

I believe international telecom industries are working[1][2] on it. I don't know an ETA. I signed up on their mailing list without knowing what to expect. The content of each email is beyond me but looking at the clout on the email signatures convinced me this was a serious and viable movement.

TLDR; this is a technical approach to preventing number spoofing except where authorized. Presumably to be implemented by the international telecom industry.

Tho, all of that is optimized for non-perishable goods.

Food logistics is an entirely different ball-game compared to just shipping boxes full of entertainment electronics and plastic toys.

With food, you suddenly have to be mindful about things like the handling of the produce, storage conditions, uninterrupted cooling chains, health standards, best-before dates of products and a whole lot of other factors/regulations that don't apply to the current bulk of products sold by Amazon.
For that particular question: They would all be the same speed because the optimization requirement would lead each one to write a compiler in their language of choice that emits a perfectly tuned assembly binary.

What gets overlooked in language performance is that you pick a language for what are, in essence, placeholder constructs. The performance matters only in that you need it to be fast enough "off the shelf" that you don't have to start writing a compiler. But you generally aren't prevented from using that approach to boost your existing code, and high performance systems often converge on that strategy in some degree, because it lets you keep maintainable source code and add toggles for debugging and optimization that you won't get from treating the application and compiler code as separate entities.
Etymology provides a good basis for guessing the general meaning of words you don't know, but it's hardly the authority on nuances of meaning. Many words have taken tangentially-related or even opposite senses from their roots in other languages.
That's why I said "the role" instead of specifically that job title.

Either they're slacking or there aren't enough, and you can fix either problem with 10 quality candidates per ship.
Literal meaning of the word is absolutely irrelevant. Historically monopoly was about granted status, but it's mostly a theoretical concept today, where everyone is in the middle between monopoly and perfect competition. You can say that if it's not competitive enough, it's a monopoly.
The professional you trust to spend that taxpayer money has a profit motive just like the company owner whose company you purchase a service from in a free market. In the former, the professional can profit by trading their influence for money, by advocating for political parties that increase their pay (consider the pay gap between federal workers and private sector workers has grown steadily since 1950, in favor of the federal worker, as government sector unions wield enormous power in politics), and they can profit in time by putting in less time and effort than what they're responsible to provide.

The latter can explicitly profit by winning your business in the market and charging more than their cost to produce.

The latter works better in any industry that is natutally competitive because it's provided in the context of a competitive market which is shaped by consumer choice.

Sure, you can be anonymous, but you're the son of John and Jane Tompkins, the brother of Emily Tompkins, the cousin of Mary Smith, and the father of Dave and Buster Tompkins.... huh, I wonder who you are.
>>mass produced chicken tastes juicier and better.

You might be referring to the "gamy" part of it. That's valid for super wild chickens, but a little walk only makes them a lot better. There's no comparison in taste between a 50 day old chicken raised in mass-produced conditions and a 6-7 month one that roams in someone's backyard.
>I thought it was pretty well known that these services are estimates only to a large degree? These services only take samples, they don't sequence the entire genome. Of course there will be errors when you have to extrapolate from a sample.

The credit given to the intelligence of society at large here falls somewhere between "cute" and "astounding".

I would recommend flipping through a tabloid and then considering such content sells millions of copies each print. And then reconsidering your thought that it's "pretty well known that these services are estimates only to a large degree".
