You pointed out one aspect: the in inconsistent concentration of intoxicants.

You are missing another crucial point: time until onset of the effects.

It is much easier to consume a lethal dose of mushrooms than ethanol before your body violently rejects the poison (colloquially known as "vomiting")
First off, it seems as though your gym schedule is very intense and easing on that may help especially the physical aspect of what you’re going through.

Secondly, I strongly recommend, if you don’t already, to just maybe see a therapist? It seems like you’ve got some cool things going on and like you could be a cool person, and sometimes it’s tough to reach out. I had to myself recently.
Thankfully RFC 2606 ensures that that will never happen.
From my CS Bachelor's degree I think 15% or less of classes made me a better programmer, 15% or less made me a more well rounded individual, and the remainder were a total waste of time. I did it because I felt like I had to play the game to succeed in the way I wanted to, and I think playing along makes me a small part of the problem.
If you want to avoid having to compete with literally everyone Upwork, you have to think like a consultant instead of an employee. If you can take responsibility for the success of the project, that's noteworthy and you'll stand out. This can be how you get your referral system going.

To jumpstart that, you have to build your network. If you are still in university, that's a great position to be in, since you don't have to make money immediately (which is the best negotiation position).

Do things in public that demonstrate competence. For a dev this could include speaking at meetups, contributing to open source, answering questions in tech Slacks or on Hacker News, etc. Meet people and talk to them. Universities have all sorts of ways to do this. Do whatever you are most comfortable doing to meet people.

Stay in touch with the people you meet over email and make known your services without being obnoxious. This will all increase your "luck surface area" - participating in Hacker News has made you known to, for example, me, and anyone else who reads this. The more you do in public, the more people you meet, the more likely you are to find good gigs.

Happy to chat about this more if you have any more specific questions, as it's a topic I've had great interest in as a freelancer myself. Cheers, and best of luck in your freelance quest!
Honestly, I think it's just a bit of light comedy with the "more nefarious". Quite confused by the responses you're getting, tbh.

Do you have a source for that? Wikipedia says "the majority" of the US arsenal, but the source is hidden behind a NYT subscriber paywall (article is from 1987.)

> In addition the 5th day should be used for lifelong education

It's tough because in tech, spending significant time (probably totaling about a day per week) needs to be spent on continuing education and employers (and spouses) are not keen on letting it happen on "their" time.

I've been doing Ruby on Rails for four years and even that -- a relatively stable, mature framework -- is a grindy treadmill of continual learning because any project you're rotated onto will have 492 gems you're not familiar with, most of which are utility classes but some of which are essentially miniframeworks. I can barely consider myself "full stack" at this point because I think even fulltime JS devs must struggle with that explosion.
"these autonomous pricing algorithms may independently discover that if they are to make the highest possible profit, they should avoid price wars. That is, they may learn to collude"

No, sorry, not what collusion is. It's pretty much business school 101 that price is a terrible way to compete unless you actually have a sustainable comparable advantage on cost or supply -- most people already do this. Collusion involves an actual agreement of some sort. Even if parties are using the same software that operates with the same strategies, that's hardly different from relatively common knowledge about price competition.

edit: I love the concept, sci-fi-wise, though!
It's annoying that it throws exceptions when you try to access LocalStorage in Private Browsing.
> I wouldn't be surprised if I died alone.

Everyone eventually dies alone, but do not let that sadden you. A full life is measured in the depths of sorrow from that truth, not in avoiding it.
Seriously. If they're hitting the gym with any sort of intensity, 2 hours a day is going to leave you destroyed on the weekends. 3-4 days a week is plenty. Your body needs to rebuild.
Its amazing to me how many shops I walk past are completely empty these days. I don't know how they can afford to keep the lights on, let alone stock the place.

I myself swore I'd never buy clothes and shoes online, but have started doing this too. Its so much easier and cheaper.
I find that the work week flies by very quickly as well. I get less done than I used to/wanted to.
You should definitely see a therapist, you sound clinically depressed. Laying in bed all weekend is not healthy. Making friends and having lasting relationships takes effort but is a requirement to have a happy and fulfilling life (excluding total hermits who are perfectly happy ignoring family, friends, and social contact, and some of those people do exist on HN and will argue with this comment).

You have a career, now it's time to have a life. You owe it to yourself.
To be fair, most people by now are aware that DNSSEC is not just a PITA to set up, but also basically useless; not to mention it was not designed to do anything about attacks of this type.
It does not even have to be AI. If there is an area where the bulk of humans contact a single agency to decide their prices for them and that agency then tells every caller the same price (adjusted for quality differences), then you will get this style of collusion.

The agency can merely claim it is doing research on competitors to set prices, which is almost true since it looks at the prices it has told others to charge before giving you a figure.

Which is exactly what is happening with rental housing, the vast bulk of which use a shared revenue management system saas.
Different people can have different versions of the word “collusion” but the important definition is that in the law, and in most countries it does not require an explicit agreement between parties.
Here is an eye-opening look at how the city operates in the modern day.

Not only that, but they are MUCH harder to track. Tracking systems just aren't good at tracking small things.
As someone who has recently dealt with a major government agency, the requirement of DNSSEC means that agencies can’t use Route53 as it doesn’t support DNSSEC. This makes it much less likely that an agency will use something like Terraform for managing DNS, which would help in making sure all records are validated and easily auditable. Instead, many DNS records are managed by hand or with bespoke systems. The best case is that it’s managed by maybe Akamai, but records are still updated via support tickets and implemented by hand (as akamai’s Terraform support is pretty bad).

So it’s relevent to mention DNSSEC because it’s spoken of within the government as a method of securing DNS, but in reality it makes things worse. It doesn’t protect against attacks like these and the end result is you are forced to use a crappy system that makes you even more vulnerable to these sorts of attacks. It’s the worst of all worlds.

(Also, I was on the call they held for CIOs and tech leaders of all agencies, and it was astonishing how many of the questions in their chat made it obvious that many of the entrenched players didn’t even understand how this attack worked.)
One could also read that as "seeing huge commercial potential researchers keep project private".
Many people attend commuter schools where you don't necessarily get the networking, friendship, and dating benefits. I think in Europe many students live at home which is part of the reason why educational costs are generally lower there.
Likewise. Since this was live.

This is a very well written article, and boils down the complexity of color science into very digestible bites. As someone who has to deal with color spaces daily (VFX/CG), having something like this when I started would have been incredibly helpful.
The running joke in all articles of this kind is that there is, in fact, no gas anywhere in the universe that is "warm", never mind "hot", by their measure. It is all plasma at such energies -- the particles are ions, which interact with one another not by elastic collisions, but by long-range ensemble electromagnetics, involving current flow. Furthermore, they interact with very long (up to multi-light-year) range magnetic fields, both affected by and creating them.

This matters because the dynamics of plasma flow are punishingly complicated, and the mathematics describing it is intractable. It is complicated in large part because the positive charge carriers are thousands of times more massive than the common negative charges; the electrons respond nimbly to fields, while the nuclei go the other way, eventually, absorbing huge energies, released when charges reunite. The nuclei also collide with any neutral species, frequently ionizing them, slowed by them, but dragging them along.

So, there are few better ways to get oneself ostracized, among astronomers, than to so much as mention "plasma". Every single thing in the sky must be explained entirely with gravitation, which is better-behaved, mathematically, or shock waves, likewise.

But you only need look once at the Crab Nebula never to be able to un-see the turbulent flow that would be impossible in a gas at that pressure.

The rule is that a heavy body can have a magnetic field, but it doesn't do much of anything -- certainly not affect the motion of quadrillions of tons of nearby plasma, never mind be affected by them.
The older I've gotten, the shorter everything has
gotten. Whether it's based in the natural warping
of time perception as we age

I think it's objectively real for most people. As you get older, expectations and obligations placed upon you (work and non-work) grow.

People in their time working years are relied upon heavily by family and employers.

This is generally true even if you avoid having children, which is the probably most significant time investment a person can make.

Of course, you can live a "lone wolf" lifestyle but this is difficult for most people if they have any family at all.
That must be why tech companies have had increasingly nice working conditions and, in particular, markedly longer parental leave policies of late. All the unions.
Nvidia Denver couples a software based jit/translator with an inorder VLIW backend. It is vulnerable to spectre.
They're inventing the demand for this TLD, then telling developers to pay up if they don't want someone to take their name.

For a lot of developers the demand was already there because they had their local virtual hosts on .dev. It wasn’t standard, but it was extremely common.

Then one day Google announced that it owns .dev and all the developers had to move their development domains to a different imaginary TLD or .example since Chrome would no longer let them test web sites on their development environments.

I am a developer. I will not pay Google or anyone else to use .dev simply because I have learned that Google can not be trusted. What prevents Google from taking .dev back in-house one random day and kicking everyone’s web sites to the curb? Absolutely nothing. Because you don’t own the domain. You only rent it.

I keep my development and testing on locally routed .dev and simply don’t use Chrome. Fortunately the people who sign my paychecks only care about Safari. Not everyone has that luxury, but I do, so I will make this minuscule stand that Google will never know or care about because an algorithm cannot know or care.
Probably the official sources are still preparing the write up and code / pretrained models release.
This was me in grad school. I did do stuff on the weekends, but most of it was vegging. It didn't work out for me healthwise. I would recommend trying to transition into a more slow-burn, less intense lifestyle. If work is that intense that you need to crash on the weekends, it can add up over time in bad ways.
Yup, blaming this on “the age of Amazon” is a mistake. Same with toys r us and Sears: crushing debt from private equity with no retail competence.
Surprised it hasn't been remade. Seems quite appropriate given the fear of machine learning lately.
Same here. There is a world of difference between 32 hours/week and 40/week. I'm looking forward to being more settled in my current job so I can move back to 4 days/week (and be more productive too).
Thanks for that, and for the link. I recalled playing long ago with a software that used convolution to let a user choose from different 'reverb spaces' (e.g. Taj Mahal) to put audio into.

It occured to me that in many/most cases the audio from the source arrives first. So -in some cases- multiple models of the 'verb space' could be constructed/refined to allow filtering. Probably much easier for a lone speaker in a small, geometrically simple room -without- a P.A. Maybe not so easy for a speaker using a P.A. in a cathedral. But the Power of Fourier is mighty.
You can't even train BERT_large on a 12/16GB GPU, and on a single 15TFlops GPU it might take a year to train. GPUs are too slow :-(

Sure. But whether they like other people's definition of "fair" is another matter.
We have 3 shoe stores in my town of ~30k (not sure how they can continue), but it seems e-commerce is bringing more efficiency to the market and allowing cheaper pricing.

Edit: E-commerce is projected to increase to 15% of retail sales by 2021.
Or, you know, you could just pay your debt, like any self-respecting person would.
Thank you for this. Since reading Gödel, Escher, Bach, I've always wondered about how to think of a "dishonest" but consistent formal system. Can we really say it lies? Or is it just describing something similar but weirdly different from natural numbers?

It's nice to know that you don't need it; it's just a sideshow.
Omg the whining!!

I love blog that take someone's personal experience and assumes everyone's exactly the same
All of this will have repercussions to the commercial real estate space. Who's going pay for the mortgage if there is hardly any tenant? Who's going to buy any more commercial space from the banks that forecloses them?
That's cool, and I've been there, but not a lot of people will have that opportunity in their careers... and certainly not on a regular basis.

Idealists will say not to take a job unless it lets you do something cool and world-changing like that. Well okay, but there is a LOT of code to be written in the world. Somebody has to write the boring stuff. And 99.999% of it is boring. If every developer held out for the chance to write the fun stuff the world would just not work.

It's like if everybody held out for some kind of job they passionately cared about. Theoretically cool, but who'd sweep the floors and shovel the horse shit out of the stables?

Terroriser – Why the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill Is Dumb
Regulated sectors are indicators of markets that aren't competitive since regulation tends to come in after it's well past obvious that markets have failed. When Amazon gets to their end game (which they seem to be pretty close to IMO) I think you'll be surprised at how much and long they'll be able to screw customers... after all, most of their competitors will be long gone and the few that remain will be weak so who's going to be able to offer an alternative in the short to intermediate term?
Wow. As a kid, I always went to Payless for my "dress" shoes up until _maybe_ high school. Going to private Catholic school I always needed new "dress" shoes each year and it was a bit ritualistic for me to go to Payless before the new school year to get a new pair. I believe I also got a lot of my casual sneakers there when I was younger as well.
What do you mean by "practical?" Model rockets are for hobbyists. Practicality isn't a part of the equation. The only reason to fly a model rocket at all is that it's cool.

There's no "practical" reason to make it land vertically. Model rockets can land safely using parachutes.
Yeah, seems like there are some questions that are incredibly specific at localising. For me, it was the name for the metal cover for drains - I answered 'stank' and it guessed Glasgow and immediate surrounding areas, which is exactly right... I guess most areas have this sort of shibboleth - in fact, that's basically what the term means I suppose!
Anyone know the easiest way to get a server up and running? I google “open source nntp “ with not great results.

This breaks so much stuff. So many websites use #something for a myriad of purposes. And it's their discretion, their website. I've never even seen #arg=val used in URIs ever, so nothing would be expecting that. Or #arg1=val1&arg2=val2.

This feels just like when I discovered that one day Chrome just decided to use the canonical address of a page instead of the actual address, when sharing it, telling no one. These people are a plague on this world.

> Airbus has to pay off the launch aid form governments that paid for it.

I don't think so. The article you linked says only that they need to be in compliance with WTO rules. There is nothing about no government support at all.

According to recent media reports in Germany Airbus and its subcontractors got a 1 billion loan for developing the plane. Paying back them is coupled to the commercial success of the product. Because of the premature end of the product the companies will probably never have to pay the loans completely. Exact figures are not public yet.

Tangential, but since you mentioned Akamai.

I wrote a framework at work that maintains authoritative DNS configuration truth (static, and advanced GSLB variations) as text files going through git and regular PRs, auditing, etc.

The truth is then flushed out via APIs to multiple DNS providers (active-active), Akamai being one of them. Nobody's APIs are perfect, but I don't recall it being too difficult to push the state to their system.
I did a rough calculation, and far less than 1% of high school graduates in the US will be introduced to quotient groups at any point. While you might be in the middle majority of the people you interact with every day, you are quite elite compared to the general population, and in no way in any 'middle majority', and if anything you are doing what I was suggesting is necessary to appreciate these topics. If you enjoy reading popularizations on top of that, that's great!
Staffing solutions through smart software – Workfast
That's the problem: it was designed to deal with the IETF namedroppers favorite attack (server-server cache poisoning, a la Eugene Kashpureff) and not any part of the real-world threat model for DNS.

In fact, at this point, DNSSEC has very little to do with securing the DNS (as it is used by the rest of the Internet) at all; rather, it's a self-justifying self-rationalizing mechanism for building random new things nobody uses on top of the DNS. So it won't protect your DNS records, but it will try its hardest to make sure the security of your SSH sessions somehow depend on the security of those records.
Always a pleasure reading your rants on DNSSEC. How the hell was DNSSEC supposed to stop an attack against leaked credentials?
Most employers want 5x10's from their workers.

Even if they're strict about 4x10 or 5x8 as a software dev I find it winds up being more like 50+ hour week anyway because of the need to invest in continuing education (which is 99% reinventing the wheel in Today's Favorite Framework/Language, but that's how it goes)

I wonder if you could use convolutional neural networks and a microscope mounted on some sort of x-y platform to hunt these down. just collect some dust, spread it evenly on the platform and process it.
That's irrelevant to the point, or actually makes it stronger. uBlock Origin continues on in spite of those compromised competitors and all of the subscriptions can continue to be utilized. I really don't understand what you're arguing against. The software can be replaced, a bad acting filter list can be ignored, and many good lists can be aggregated to counteract ad agencies attempts to bypass filters. And with the right software you can create your own local filters with a single click on the offending material.

We don't need a parental authority to protect us from seeing naughty images, we can take care of ourselves.
I think this is a well known downside. The upside is we kill fewer humans, and I think IRBs are very comfortable with that tradeoff.
Seriously though, the guy is VERIFIED. Literally should tell you that everyone is going to want to be in your mentions, especially businesses. You're like an advertising magnet.
Have you ever watched someone die?

Dying is terrible, but there is definitely a difference between being surrounded by loved ones and being all alone or among strangers.

"Everyone dies alone" is one of those things that is sort of technically correct, but has absolutely nothing to do with what people mean when they talk about dying alone.
No mention of CIELAB? Unfortunate, its a really neat way to get perceptual uniformity, has intuitive coordinates.
It wasn't; that's not the point. The point is that it's expensive security theater that fails comprehensively in the face of real-world DNS attacks.
