I'm 29 but I'll soon hit 30. I have roughly $85k.

I save all my money in normal savings account, no investing or anything related to 'value increasing'. I don't have a separate retirement account either. I feel like I am not managing my money well enough, but I also don't feel like I have a "plan" for when I'm older. My next job have a clause where they will match retirement savings up to X percentage, that's a good step I guess? Kinda lost on the whole thing.

This could be 'the' groundbreaking medical discovery of our century, if proven to work. I think I read some stats recently about how most people in the near future will not die of sudden conditions like heart failure etc but rather die due to slow killers like cancer (I will try to corroborate the reference here if I find it) and this may have a huge impact on humanity.
"California State Senator Bill Dodd, whose district includes areas in Napa and Sonoma counties that were heavily damaged in the Oct. 2017 wildfires, issued a statement after PG&E officials confirmed that they would file for bankruptcy.

“Given its track record of obfuscation and mismanagement, I’m not surprised PG&E claims it can no longer meet its financial obligations,” the statement read. “It’s extremely disappointing and underscores the need for change at PG&E in both its leadership and culture. Wildfire victims shouldn’t have to deal with the uncertainty this causes, which in many respects re-victimizes them.”

Bill Dodd just happens to be the same genius who authored(!) SB 901, the PG&E bailout bill, just a few months ago.

I’ve had Systemd completely stop responding before on numerous occasions on centos 7. As in can’t reboot or hangs rebooting or all commands hang.

Only recourse has been to reboot the instance from AWS dashboard.

I can’t get to the bottom of it because the tools don’t work when it’s down and there’s nothing there when it comes back up. I am not enjoying boiling to death in this pot of shit.

And then there’s the situation where it just won’t boot. I just fire up a new instance then because it’s easier than debugging it.

As a designer who often hands over designs to developers, I find it all too frequent scenarios where developers struggle interpreting design into code. I have NEVER seen a developer who can implement a design exactly per spec in CSS.

This is not to say that developers are incompetent with CSS, in fact, it probably says more about CSS than it does about the developer. The fact that CSS has gotten so convoluted is counter to its original goal.

Perhaps I have just work with companies who don't have an A-class developer team? I don't know. But it's not unusual for developers to straight up tell me "I'm not a CSS guy". Like... really? Who is then?
The problem is that a higher teacher:student ratio may be necessary and younger students can't neccessarily travel as far. (Some parents don't have cars, sparsely populated areas, etc.) For cities I think this is a no-brainer however.

Exploratory computer assisted learning like Khan Academy would be possible. It would also change teachers role from public speaker to guiding individual students who are struggling or are curious.

I'm curious: Did systemd drop 3.10 support before the kernel developers stopped supporting it (in 2017, see http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1711.0/03167.html), or before that? If it was around the same time, then I could understand dropping support, since even the kernel developers had decided to move on.

Don't you still have to resort to shell scripts for anything slightly complicated (mounting a drive on a specific network connection) and just have systemd invoke them?

Docker containers, like shipping containers is about reaping the benefits of standardization. Yes, you can statically compile a binary, but with a containerized app, you have a standardized deployment unit for any technology not just those that compile to a single binary. Also you have the flexibility to deploy and configure a mix of containers on a pool of hardware all with central control and management of infrastructure its supporting services.
Can’t speak to the parent but I have a similar feeling.

Personally I’ve been using openbsd quite heavily for personal projects, for work my team transitioned from RHEL6 to FreeBSD- and while it has quirks (mostly on installation of software) it is incredibly stable.

It’s a shame my chosen cloud provider doesn’t treat it like a first class citizen, but that’s fine since the community projects seem to work on making good images.

I still use Linux on my desktop and laptop; since I feel like the design of systemd is more suited to those roles (systemd’s design in general feels like windows service activation) but I’ve been having issues that seem to be related to systemd. So it’s not winning me over.
Interesting twitter account. First tweet 1/1/19, few followers, mostly politics, then a major bug report (not only in discovery but in knowing how to go through the reporting process). Not saying it’s fake at all - it looks 100% legitimate - but it adds some extra bit of weirdness to this story. Quite the providence, and a really bad bug. (edited for clarity)
I'm really annoyed with my 13r3s OLED screen - the red pixels are much faster to illuminate from zero to little compared to the blue - which themselves are faster than the green pixels. this leads to a reddish/magenta smear on the leading edge when something gray moves on black background.

Interesting article with a lot of great historical context. I think a significant part of the tl;dr is that the end of Dennard Scaling and trouble with Moore's law may mean that the best architecture will finally win out, rather than just the one with the best semiconductor design team behind it.

I'm a bit skeptical of the promise of DSAs, though it does seem we're already going that way. Curious what others think on that point.
I guess I'm alone in liking CSS.

Yes, it definitely takes years of experience implementing annoying designs to appreciate... But the macro-positioning stuff comes pretty easy once you understand the box model and can visualise the positioning.

I don't think it's an art. It just takes real experience.

> Worst case, you have to wear a cast for a while, while still going to work and earning a salary.

It took me a while to parse that… then it struck me: right, you don't naturally get paid leave of absence for illness or injury in the US. In Germany, the minimum by law is 6 weeks at 100% wage, and another 76 weeks at 70% wage (there are some special cases and whatnot, but they don't apply to poorer households.) Additionally, the first 6 weeks may be prolonged by your contract if you're working a job (usually industrial labour, e.g. car manufacturing) where the union has negotiated better terms.

It's interesting to think about the situation in Europe: injuring yourself is not as much of an issue here, and few neigbourhoods are really that unsafe to walk or run in. Even if they are, public transport will quickly and reliably get you somewhere safe.

Yet, I still think (I have no numbers) that running (and certainly cycling and swimming) is a sport for well-to-dos — definitely at least middle class.

But the reverse isn't true: middle class folks don't necessarily do endurance sports. Tons of vocational workers (plumbers, electricians, woodworkers etc.) are comfortably middle class here, but they don't do endurance sports much. I think it has more to do with the physical labour aspect of your own job, and maybe also that of your colleagues. You may have an easy job, but if your peer group doesn't, endurance sports may still be frowned upon.

Just a theory; I'd like to see comparative numbers between US and EU.

Contiki's "C Support" is listed as "partial" without any explanation. What does this even mean? It seems to me that this should be between you and your compiler.

Linux is supposedly "partially modular", whereas RIOT is fully modular. That's a bold statement.

I get that they are trying to differentiate their product. But without motivations, statements like these sound a bit hollow to me.

On the web the apps are barely usable for the users because the users are acceptable bystanders, not clients. The clients are data hoarders, advertisers, and trackers. In fact a tuned web app focusing on user experience and performance, with the current state of ES, DOM, HTML5, CSS3, and general performance of web browsers would be mindblowing.
No. I enjoy chatting and networking in a co-working space. But I don't find it the most productive of environments.

That said, I've not yet tried co-working in my current city, and a mate has kicked off a co-working space there, so I'm tempted to give it a go, partly to see if the experience differs, but also just to support the venture.

Mostly though, working in isolation (from home, or in a quiet office) is the best thing for me. After reading this thread though, I should probably invest in some really good noise cancelling headphones.
> When I want to develop, I don't want to work on operations, and vice-versa. The context is completely different, and it conflates two completely different mental and authorization models.

DevOps is about not thinking like this. When developers produce deliverables without a production operational context and 'throw it over the wall' to Ops, it leads to recurring systemic issues. By making developers responsible for what they produce, they feel the pain of their decisions during 'development time' and will learn to make more operational-friendly software.

The other aspects such as automation and coded/immutable configuration came about because of DevOps and is now also part of it.

If reforms like this happened, the incentive for companies to abuse the system would go down. Setting up fake staffing companies would still be a problem, but catching immigration/employment fraud is a different problem and should be resourced appropriately.
So it must be shills to be supportive of China? Have you considered supporting China may be quite a popular opinion among the Chinese people both domestically and overseas?
It's an interesting premise, however it probably would have been impossible.

China - which has never come even remotely close to doing the lionshare of US manufacturing [1] - required enormous capital to be invested by US (and European) companies to build up their manufacturing base. That capital needed to exist first before it could be invested into Chinese factories. The US got dramatically richer from 1950 to 1970 (GDP went from $280b to $1t, during the strong gold dollar era), while it dominated global manufacturing. The wealth it built up in those decades of manufacturing hegemony is what in part enabled the US to deploy such immense capital into China in the following decades.

The US wouldn't have had the accumulated wealth and consumer base to utilize the USSR as a manufacturing offshore and make the necessary investments, minus the post war domestic manufacturing boom. Unless we're talking about doing that at the very end of the USSR in the late 1980s, after US manufacturing had already peaked and begun to decline. (obviously this is all fantasy, because the USSR's policies would never have allowed for the scenario, but it's an interesting thought experiment regardless)

Also, given the USSR's population ratio with China (~260m people in the USSR versus 980m in China circa 1980), it would have been impossible on a more practical basis, for them to output so much. The USSR's economy was never known for having world-class efficiency and scale of output. They never mastered high quality massive scale manufacturing. I'm skeptical the bureaucracy would have ever made it possible. It's likely they couldn't have output but a modest fraction of US manufacturing needs under any scenario.

[1] US manufacturing output was about ~$2.1 trillion for 2018. Imports from China for 2018 were something like $560 billion. Approximately a 4x difference.
I use a variant of Chromium, the Eloston/Ungoogled Chromium build.

I find Chrome just an overall better experience to use. I am kind of a stickler for UI and to me, Brave's and Opera's are a bit clunky even though they're based on the same VM.

As for Firefox, the experience does not have far to go in my opinion but I have had a lot of issues with memory leaks and crashes lately so I switched back to Eloston Chromium.

This argument for meritocracy is what a real communist will tell you about communism now. It works basically for anything that we don't have good working examples for right this second. Given that there are no good working examples and/or haven't been any so far, how would we fix the problems that we have seen and can foresee?

Given those concerns, I think it is not reasonable to just say "we need to try again and try harder" because it does a disservice to those times it was tried in the past. Maybe there is a fundamental problem there that still has to be solved?

For a meritocracy, this isn't super complicated. Who decides what has merit? How will you measure this? Are the things that you measure the right things? Given that there is a possibility for side-channel information (for example, certain groups of people having terms they "look for" and that you only know about being part of this group), how will we solve this?
People have rights, even when they are sick. There is absolutely no evidence to believe HIV possitive patients go around infecting others intentionally. Transmission happens during latency, when infected people do not yet show symptoms, and do not know they are infected.

A person that knows of their infection is just as likely to be a danger as a shopper on their way home with a large new steak knife. To suggest otherwise is just mindless paranoia, with possibly a homophobic twist. It’s the sort of thinking that created this mess in the first place, considering civilized societies don’t even collect such a database of HIV+ citizens.
> But sure, I have also gotten quite the negative reactions but it tends to be the same monkeys who dismiss anthropogenic climate change in the face of decades of evidence.

Not denying anthropogenic climate change but until recently fat was dangerous and sugar was less dangerous. This goes back to the thirties, so definitely decades.

Worse, when some of the loudest voices in the climate camp not only fly across the globe to climate conferences but in private jets, then you can understand why people are sceptical. (1400 private jets this year?)

Same with the EAT campaign: travelling around the world in luxury, telling other people they can basically forget their current lifestyle.

I'm not saying it isn't right.

Personally I travel with public transit (bus, train, bus or walk) for a good hour to work and the same back home. I try to do reuse, repair and recycle in my household. We coordinate with 4-5 other families to get kids to soccer / other activities 3 times a week with as few cars as possible. It actually makes a lot of sense too.

But it is not like we get any support from the thought leaders who fly around in a luxury we have a hard time imagining even. I can very well understand why people don't believe.

So can we stop calling other people monkeys? If your are going to make a change you have to learn to make those people care. And you don't do that by calling them names.
Good comment.

CSS is actually pretty simple, as long as you start with the smallest elements and work up. It becomes a nightmare if you try and address everything individually. It’s not really a programming language, but a series of guidelines.

I’ve seen this simplicity actually throw developers as they’re used to something much more complex and systematic.

Preprocessors like SASS are great, but I wonder if they’re designed to complicate CSS a bit so developers feel at home.

Pixel perfect design is totally possible, as long as the designer is aware of the constraints and opportunities of the medium they’re working in.
Yeah, as with everything, I guess languages need balance. In the case of Modelica (and others inspired by it), we can have functions that are not part of any class at all. So, you could just have a function called evalCollision that accepts two instances of the class BilliardBall and calculate the net result.

My main point, though, was that these new languages are way better than Simulink etc. that went before them.
