Second this. You might not even fail outright but rather realize you've worked every hour of every day for years for an average gain of a couple dollars an hour. You can do it if the environment is right for you to thrive (i.e. build something of great value) and you can tolerate the risks involved.

Honest question here: How do you guys get the time/focus to listen to podcasts?

I can't focus on people talking while doing something else so I either have to put down whatever I am doing in order to listen, or I'll miss most of what is being said.

Maybe it's just me?
Yes. It goes further back than that. That's what Alan Kay thought Smalltalk should be for. Read "Personal Dynamic Media".

Going forward, there are the persistent shared modifiable virtual worlds, from There to Second Life to SineSpace and beyond. There are many good 3D CAD systems now, and the pro ones have some simulation capability. There's Minecraft and its imitators.

We have the capability, and sizable numbers of users. It's not mainstream, but it's in wide use.

I like the idea behind Matrix, but hosting it is really a pain. I've given up on it until it's a simple `docker-compose up -d` away from running a full instance.

There are lots of popular nonfiction books that aren't simplistic. They just may be older than you would expect. For example, On the Origin of Species is a book packed with information, yet still approachable by most. You can find books in many fields - science, philosophy, history that are incredibly well written.

The last book I read that was written well was Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse In the Age of Show Business.

While I agree that I2C is mostly broken and filled with workarounds (at least in the STM32F103x family), the SPI in master mode (as I understand you are referring to) works fairly well. To receive data you have to send clock pulses. Sending clock pulses also means that you are transmitting (zeroes in your case), but there is no way to escape from that since it's the way SPI works.

SPI in STM32 is very precise with timings and general behavior. Take a look on how some seasoned users implement SPI to do VGA graphics: https://www.artekit.eu/vga-output-using-a-36-pin-stm32/

There are several very capable, full-blown dev environments available for the iPad and iPhone. I think the main ones are:

Codea for Lua
https://codea.io/

Pythonista for Python
http://omz-software.com/pythonista/

Continuous for .NET
http://continuous.codes/

Codea and Pythonista also provide XCode templates you can drop your code into to create App Store apps from your projects. Not sure about Continuous.

Apple allowing iCloud syncing for code has removed the last real source of friction I'd had using Pythonista. Now I can write a script on my iPad, then reach over and run it on my phone, then if it's cross-platform sit at my Mac and run it from there too before checking it into Github. No fuss, no bother.

As an individual I wouldn't want to publish info on a security breach though.
Email is indispensable in organisations because it automatically creates a comprehensive permanent record of all communications (and optimally, one which is searchable after the employee in question has left - keep your work and personal emails separate, people!) Searching old emails for information is a core part of my workflow and has saved my bacon more times than I can count.
That's because a lot of gains can be realized from sticking to a given system. The hardest part is starting some system than sticking to it. Also, being a CEO makes things easier from other perspectives. You have staff to take care of your mundane stuff and people double check to make sure they utilize your time effectively. A random employee wouldn't walk over and lean on his desk to comment about the weather.
Naming conventions are part of your own practices and processes.

There is no issue with having short names to describe well-known entities part of the language, or trivial code.

Your example from pkg.bufio is trivial and but still the variables names are meaningful. There is a difference between clearly and meaningful, and verbose.

Your example from Java is not very different.

I feel that the point is not being understood here.

Big tech giants also have ton of interesting work to be done, yes the pace may be slower than what it would be at a startup or if you just go on a sabbatical. On the flip side, big tech can give you the resources you need to succeed.

Why don't you find an intersection between your idea or the reason you leave the big tech and the big tech itself? Then work it out with your manager to transition to that. It may take time but how different it would be from working on your idea, pitching it etc?

Why not opt for work of your choice in a big tech giant? Win-Win and even to win at startup lottery, eventually you need to reach the win-win stage!

I'm one of the ones with variable responses. Sometimes it amplifies anxiety and inhibition, occasionally alleviates it. Stimulants typically do me better.

A couple years ago I got an ADD diagnosis. Should have happened when I was 12, but you work with what you got. I credit the ADD with pushing me to pursue my interests over what was assigned to me. Wasn't really a choice, I would stay up until 3AM+ regularly, trying and failing to do homework. I graduated from high school a semester late, with a 1.2 GPA.

In the meantime I was teaching myself, with basically no guidance, how to build small robots, program bare-metal microcontrollers, generally build things. When I was 18 got me a job at a small tech company (what luck!), which opened up a whole world of opportunity - interesting projects to work on, very talented people to learn from.

> Mathematica is literally the worst PL I've ever used

Have you used Maple? I had to for a General Relativity course, and far preferred Mathematica and its syntax.
I did this and my advice would be “it depends”. It’s been a mixed bag. Financially I’m much worse off than I would have been staying at my 300k job (who knows what it would have grown to now?). I will say the stress of not knowing what you are doing and questioning yourself can be immense. That being said perhaps I’m not the best example as I took years off living a hedonistic lifestyle and truly adopted the YOLO mentality. I consulted here and there. It was fun but ultimately draining.

The corporate coding lifestyle can be without a doubt an existential mind fuck. It partially depends on your mindset and job responsibilities though. If you care about the purpose of your product, you aren’t some product managers code monkey, and you are making money that isn’t the worst thing.

That being said... FOR ME I have learned that the concept of retirement is a joke. It’s not all that great and at least for me people feel better having a meaningful purpose. Even if your purpose is make believe I think it’s neCessary. So I wonder about the utility of doing something you hate for 30 years just to end up “retired” and miserable anyway. That’s what I’m trying to do, I don’t want to retire but I don’t want to sit in front of a computer coding up some app UI for someone else. but I have a family on the way so we’ll see how it goes.

I think maybe optimize for that purpose you have in mind for yourself rather than starting a business just for the hell of it. If you are getting paid 500k by google to prosecute child pornographers that’s likely going to make you feel better than starting your own 1 man SaaS business running email marketing....

It depends.

considering the iPhone X didn't have a single standout feature over the smartphone market it's reasonable for people to criticise the price of $1000, even apple realized that's not a viable strategy and released the XR at $750 as to avoid losing all of their customers with those exuberant prices offering little more than camera upgrades and meaningless changes avg consumers can't notice.

the avg person will tell you they don't know why the X is better it just looks more futuristic and that's why apple sells it for $1000.

Another question, if we had the tech to improve the cognitive abilities of our offsprings, would it be ethical not to do it?
they announced that with the Note 4 actually since that phone supported Facebook messenger style floating windows for as many apps as you wanted.

Android nougat added that to the AOSP source so any android phone can open up to 8 apps at once in floating windows. This is not new tech. The 3 way app view is just a tiling window manager managing it in a weird way it's not a real restriction
But commenters are taking evidence of how this guy runs his business as evidence that that method is effective. Shouldn't there be comments pointing out if this isn't effective?
To be fair, this is somewhat inevitable in the initial stages, before a reasonable spec is released. Many people, like me, are just "sitting on the fence" and test-driving Matrix via their matrix.org server, until there are reasonable assurances that deploying our own Matrix server will come without too much hassle.

After Synapse 1.0 is released (sometimes next month, IIRC), I'm definitely deploying my own homeserver, and federating it with the rest of the world.
I;d like to see a table / chart showing the top 10 or 20 or so xmpp things - and what features are missing from each, along with notes about the language app 1 2 etc is written in, and an estimate in how long it would take coders to add the amount of missing features that others have..

then we could see an estimated total, like for $xx we could get most of these apps all on the same page of features running... if that is the major hurdle - a crowdsourced money or and time to get them all modernized may make the whole ecosystem 2.0 and worthy of use?

Surely it can't be that much that is needed - yet it seems that fixing just one or two is not having the same network effects of having them all speaking the 2.0 feature language.
What will be the ads & tracking companies' next step? Maybe they'll want to serve tracking cookies as Secure and HttpOnly, as if they were login cookies? o.O (to prevent the tracking cookies from getting deleted after 7 days: "Client-Side Cookies Capped to 7 Days of Storage")
I was about so say roughly - if not exactly - the same thing. With philanthropy, very wealthy people can significantly alter the priorities of a society, without any consultation with those people that have been democratically given the task to manage societies' agendas.

Small donations don't have that influence unless they add up, becoming again a form of majorities's expression (not necessarily democratic,) but given enough cash in hand, an individual can tip the balances significantly.
France's position on this is essentially nationalist; local surveillance of the internet is strong following various terrorists attacks, and there isn't quite German levels of distrust of state security apparatus. But on the other hand they are outside the five eyes, run an aerospace and tech industry that has to deal with US industrial espionage, and are aware of the cultural hegemony of English language media.

(People seem to think that France doesn't have a tech industry; it very much does but little of it is consumer facing)
that kind of failed to answer its own question, i was expecting some sort of data on manufacturer/model/how long in service before failure etc similar to things ive seen for platter drives
Matrix is totally open sourced. Server side and the official client (Riot) can be deployed anywhere under your own control.

Also, deploying a bridge you can connect Matrix and IRC rooms, creating a hybrid channel mixing Matrix and IRC clients in the same room. It's pretty cool.
Delta.chat supports E2E with other Delta users and Autocrypt email clients, so the point stands.
Heinz ketchup has 80% market share in Europe and 60% in the US. Anybody can make ketchup, it's one of the simplest condiments, like mayonnaise or maybe even salt. Yet it seems only Heinz can sell ketchup; the question is why.
> This has low key been a big year for labor in tech.

Honestly, I am having my suspicions whether or not that "low key" aspect isn't artificially maintained by the media somewhow. I had heard about the scandals and such last year, but somehow I missed:

> Following the massive, 20,000-person walkout at Google in November, Google got rid of forced arbitration for sexual harassment and sexual assault claims, offering more transparency around those investigations and more.

And I would say that 20,000 people walking out on Google should have been hard to miss.
I remember a few years ago I was working for a company that wanted to build a Segment clone, just a clone without any different functionality, with hopes they would raise money. Even when I asked how a feature should be implemented, instead of showing me some designs, all they would do was open up Segment and show me the feature... Suffice to say, the project failed and I wasn't surprised nor sad.

I’m beginning to think the coolness of open sourcing stuff is wearing off a bit.

If it is core tech to a business then why bother? Lots of cool projects don’t really get that many contributors. No point getting a community hooked on your software if you have to give it away and hope they’ll one day buy some services so you get paid.

All in all I foresee it becoming easier that source is kept closed for all things non-core to a business.

I was working at Google and I'm really happy to read what's going on on Blind to be able to talk about the worst problems that are going on that you can't talk about on the internal system.

At the same time it's still a great place to work at as long as you find the right team (especially team lead).

You're both right and wrong.

In both cases, if users have an account on gmail and are using it, and gmail pulls the plug, then they can't use it anymore and can't migrate. The history is still there in the case of matrix, but they can't reuse the same account.

However if another user is homed on another server, they would still keep the knowledge and history on their side: gmail did pull the plug on xmpp, yet people are still using it. Their server still know who their contacts are, what room they're usually in, etc...

Matrix does have the advantage that the chat history is fully replicated on all homeservers so it makes history retrieval much saner, but that's it. Matrix doesn't route traffic (messages go from sender's homeserver to recipients' homeservers, that's it) and doesn't share client's information with the whole world.

I have never used "serverless", but how does that differ from say a Django app?

You have the initial boilerplate setting up the project, then you map urls to functions. Once the initial setup is done its trivial to map a new urls to new functions.

I am genuinely curious as I can't really work out what all the hype is about regarding serverless. Am I missing something?
This is a very cool thing ! I did not even know that Japan had a space program.

Anything that goes on for a few decades is already gospel to you? If everybody though that way, there would be no vote for women, there still would be slavery and segregation, half of the world would speak German or Russian today, and so on. Laws come from people. From citizens, actually. Just going along to get along is beneath all adults, not to mention citizens in socities that are still free on paper. Nobody has the right to be obedient. That is, you can forfeit all your own human rights if you want, but you cannot forfeit them on behalf of others and future generations.
It's not (just) about social outlet, it's about growing and learning professionally. Unless your job is to blindly implement features someone else adds to a spec sheet it's always worthwhile to get professional input from people from different fields. Often they'll have unique ideas and insights that comes from having a different background and different experiences.
