> Speaking first hand, I can tell you the union did absolutely nothing for us except collect a portion of our wages.

I encounter this a lot in IT.

"YOU IT TYPES NEVER DO ANYTHING! YOU JUST SIT AT YOUR DESKS!"

"And your files, when you deleted them last week, what happened?"

"Well I put in my request and 20 minutes later.... Nevermind."

When we in IT do your jobs, we aren't noticed because we make technology work and smooth it out. When labor unions do the same thing, and make sure benefits and salaries and disputes are smooth and work on a pre-agreed upon process.

That may have been the case for you ; you didn't need union services because they already did the hard work before you showed up.

> We voted them out by a wide margin with 80% in favor of getting rid of them.

As was your right. Now tell me, on a union charter documents and federal procedures, there are ways to initiate an election to do this at non-standard times. If they are not adequately representing you, did you look into this?

> There really isn't a need in most cases to be unionized.

Basic economic theory shows why a force as powerful as a company is needed in dealing with them. And that counteracting force is a union. I, as an individual, have very little collective power. A company has a tremendous force.

> The primary focus of unions was always working conditions and fair wages.

And with the Labor Theory of Value so low for workers, we need unions now more than ever. And yes, that include for technical, intellectual, AND labor. One needs only look at how profits keep climbing per unit of labor, yet wages are stagnated for most workers.

> Working conditions are light years beyond what they once were so unions have focused basically myopically on always fighting for higher wages and benefits.

Please tell that to the current "Walmart"-equivalent employees working at Amazon peeing into milk jugs, because they can't get enough of a break to even go to the bathroom without the threat of firing.... But they don't need a union?!??

We technical staff have it loads better. We get free drinks/food in the breakroom, gameroom, and plenty more benefits. But I've also worked at the low paying jobs. You get: no insurance, no 401k, no benefits, no breaks, and work at $8/hr.

> I think people should be forced to negotiate for their own wages in most cases.

Seriously? "Forced"?

How about I get together with my colleagues and volitionally come to an agreement? NOPE Can't do that, we must be 'Forced' to negotiate individually...

> Only simpler, lower-wage type work where people may not have the personality, skillset, and ability to negotiate for themselves as to avoid taking advantage of people makes sense to me.

Arrogant much? "Oh those poor dumb people, they just don't know how good they have it!"
Apps is being worked on by several independent developers, just like with Mastodon. Pixelfed also works well as a PWA, which I currently use on my Android phone.

Load of rubbish!
I actually don't know too much about the NC4016, at a quick glance it has some similarities, especially in how the instructions are encoded. The H2 runs faster - but that's more a function of the FPGA than anything I have done. I would image it doesn't cope as well with radiation than the Novix. :)

That link redirects you to an interesting image if you access it from Hacker News! From the manual for that terminal, it seems to support some of the standard ANSI escape sequences, but there would be a lot more work to make it 100% compatible.
ok, but why 2 * 4 produces a 9?
As C-Span Turns 40, a Top Executive Reflects on Bringing Cameras to Congress
> But I’ve come to see the 3% on each side as an almost market clearing price

What do you base your claim on? If you increased the fee to 30%, many more realtors would enter the market, the average earnings (per realtor) would stay roughly the same, the sellers would be paying much more, and you'd still have the impression that it's the "market clearing price".
Agree messaging was bad, but music is still in progress so let's reserve judgement on whether or not that ends up being an OK transition or not.

GPE -> Android Go does not fit the mold of the "cycle" you're talking about. Further, Android Go is substantially better than Android One.

Do you have any other examples?
Can you tone down your comments a bit, please? There's no need to be so aggressive. It's not nonsense, I'm not lying about anything, and I'm not running about crying.

> Shenandoah implicitly relies on collecting faster than application allocates

That's what the documentation tells you that you need in order to deploy Shenandoah. If you can't meet that then you don't get the claimed performance characteristics.

If you can meet that requirement then GC pause times are dependent on root set sizes, not heap sizes.
Essentially, this is a subset of the argument that more prevalent global communication has actually been far worse for society and far easier to exploit than expected by tech optimists. It's not a new argument, but it's still one we're trying to find our way out of a paper bag about.

Yesterday somebody on the train was really adamant that I should google something about Michael Jackson being alive and reincarnated -- truly believed it with all his heart. Where is this disinfo coming from? How can we stop it? The horrifying answer would be that it's coming from everywhere, and that we can't stop it.
SEOStart
I have used this in the past. There are only a few places where this bites you, for instance wifi authentication portals. Some of these wifi access points change your resolv.conf so that you can load their internal page for terms and conditions.
There are a lot of applications where predictable performance is just as important, if not moreso, as good performance.
Speaking of slipping through fingers. I signed up for Patreon and started donating $5 a month to the Godot game engine which I'm interested in. Soon afterwards I got a message from Patreon saying that my account was suspended for suspicious activity, and support told me I had to show a lot of personal documentation to get my account reinstated. "You must go out of your way to be our customer" they told me (in effect), I hope that works out for them. I just donate to Godot directly now.

"I'm a fierce fighter for the First Amendment and its free speech protections. But..." Pretty much everyone who says "but" after a statement like that isn't one, at all.
This problem is why I use https://fiendish.github.io/The-Debian-Gotham-Needs/ for downloading Debian ISOs, because I know that I'm going to need nonfree firmware for it to actually do the things that I want it to do (and finding the right ISO on the Debian website is a godawful nightmare).

I think the page takes the most rational approach by informing the person about the danger to user freedoms imposed by non-free software while, and this is very important, letting the person just get on with their life right now.

Stallman's proposal sounds...cartoonish and annoying and IMO ultimately harmful. I think the only way to get people who aren't already dedicated to want to use free software is if using it doesn't make them annoyed first.
> All I know from friends/family is all a union does is put another group of people over you to tell you what to do… Their interests are not aligned with the business or even with yours.

Your employer is already a group of people over you who tell you what to do, whose interests are definitely not aligned with yours.

At least your union is ostensibly on your side; your employer is incentivized to wring as much out of you as they can, for as little as they can.
While the project itself is a great resource, the dependencies marked as "*" are unfortunate for a project that is 6 years in the making.

I tried giving resolved a go, but kept seeing issues where it would suddenly start returning an error response (I wanna say servfail), would log a dnssec validation error, and refuse to work until the process was restarted.

I've since switched back to unbound with dnssec-triggerd and life is again glorious.
Sorry to hear your story. I would encourage you to think about why therapy didn't help.

It can take a few tries to find a therapist that works for you. While you may feel safe talking to them, it still doesn't mean they're going to be able to help you in the way that you personally need.

I would look for a new therapist.

A “controversial” Patreon-account was banned over content not posted on Patreon.

To be fair, he does try to be controversial, and he says some hair-raising things. Basically, imagine that you went into a den of literal neo-Nazis, and you were trying your best to say things to shock and insult them. I don't think that's very smart of him to do.

Edit: This was actually discussed on HN until flagged (like too many interesting discussions).

This does seem to be a pattern around here of late. There's a lot of pushing of narratives all across the Internet, which amount to "this person is [something horrible] don't even read their material." Much of that is false. At the same time there are genuine [something horrible] going around in much larger numbers in the past few years than the decades before.

I think the real target is rational discourse itself.
From what you write, you need to start your own company/product. Find something YOU really passionate about and something YOU want to work hard on.
No, but you can use the Restrictions control pane to block Safari.
For most ordinary applications I've seen around about 5-10% of the time is spent on GC. Maybe some badly tuned applications would see benefits.

If you want an order of magnitude jump in performance need to see if the IBM work on Scala Native version of Spark manifests.
The solution is not to obey the click of the content change 0.1 seconds before the click.
I honestly wonder (without knowing much of the history mind you) if the USA purposely made unions awful as to promote the mindset "I would rather not have a union" amongst the workers. For sure unions are terrible here, but it seems quite strange to have anti-competitive laws for unions when the USA is near-built on capitalism and the free market.
Where do you stop? Who decides what is banned? That seems like a hard question.
Okay, "not silly" person who's good at reasoning. Tell us how we move 221 million[1] people into mass transit serviceable urban areas in 12 years. I'll wait.

> The JVM is a highly-optimized, cross-platform, garbage-collected environment on which people have built much more progressive languages that lack the syntactic baggage of Java: Scala, Groovy, Clojure, Kotlin.

Apache Groovy has inherited all of the syntax of Java. When Jeremy Rayner built the Antlr 2 based syntax for Groovy back in 2005, he began with the syntax for Java, then added the Groovy-specific grammar to it. The latest version of Groovy still uses that syntax, so if Java has syntactic baggage, then Groovy has it too.

I'm picking Groovy will still have that baggage-laden syntax for a while yet. 2 yrs ago, Daniel Sun built an Antlr 4 based replacement grammar, but the Groovy project managers at Apache are taking their sweet time in rolling it along. They even had its optional preview removed from the version 2.6 beta of Groovy.
Yeah but to people who don't know any better, 1TB > 120GB.
This entire post is Facebook's way of saying "there's no way we could have prevented people from watching this, and we're doing everything in our power to aid in the situation, therefore NZ shouldn't be taking any action against us".
Your a cto of a startup, don’t confuse this with cto of an enterprise, very different level of maturity and experience.

Good luck :)
I don't know much how to help. I'm sorry. I have one idea though. Maybe find a temporary work in some other industry? Something new could spark a new passion? Even a job like a waiter/ress, taxi driver could bring a new look at life.

I think that interacting with other people could help. IT is very specific workplace, especially, startups, in my opinion.
Their lower end target is 10 ms. In a game, 16 ms is your entire time budget.
We had several other languages once upon a time, but all were proprietary and most only worked through plugins. All were eventally removed from default installs in browsers due to awful security and mobile performance.

If you're a customer of one of the ISPs in question (sounds like you are), you could try contacting them and asking the reasoning behind their blocks of these sites, and the reason for the inconsistencies you point to. If they brush you off, then since you're in NZ you may also find various NZ gaming or technical community forums on which people have similar feelings to discuss this and see if you can get a more satisfactory answer as a group. Also you might write to your MP or the relevant minister about this and the subject of net neutrality in the broader sense.
Crowd lifts double-decker bus to save life of trapped unicyclist (2015)
with email it doesn't matter what domain name you pick... why does it have to matter for other things?
Things have changed a bit since this was invented in the '60s. How about a virtual variation? Embed low power transmitters, e.g. RFID, in the places where you'd put tactile pavement. Visually impaired people can carry a phone that receives the signal and renders them as audio.

This can be far cheaper than tactile pavement and so more widely deployed, more easily updated as the environment changes, and present different warnings to people with different needs ... like people with limited mobility ("warning 5 inch step down in 3 feet") or the unimpaired ("please do not run in this corridor").

With sufficiently accurate location data and ubiquitous networking, the transmitter isn't needed at all. Apps could curate warnings and other location specific info, and you could subscribe to the ones that are relevant to you. If location tech isn't up to the sub-meter resolution, the embedded transmitters could be used to just send their own exact location. Then you feed that to the app to return warnings, etc.

The etc. could include hyper-local ads, making the system self funding.
Actually, while Patreon did such aggregation, SubscribeStar seems to do each transaction individually. I wonder if they aren't over a barrel because insiders in the payment processing industry are locking them out.
Healthy mind in a healthy body. Eating well and exercising is not enough, you have to let your brain rest. Working crazy hours for long periods of time will affect your mental health more than your physical health.

Unfortunately I cannot give you more advice than what worked for me: taking long walks or going on hikes in nature. And switching jobs to work for a company that respects my free time.
You can still have a more modern language i.e. Scala, Kotlin on the JVM whilst not abandoning the unparalleled array of libraries that the Java ecosystem offers.
1. What kind of exercise? There’s a big difference between a light gym workout and intense CrossFit or marathon running. You may need to push yourself a bit harder to get those natural juices in your brain flowing right again.

2. Travel - where do you travel? Have you taken the time to visit places that are a completely different culture than your own, or do you stay in your culture bubble?

3. Therapy- this point may be contreversial .. have you explored some of the more alternative forms of therapy such as psychedelic or drug assisted therapies like MDMA? While not entirely legal yet, they will certainly take your mind to dimensions that a conversation with a therapist simply cannot.

Finally - what exactly does the burnout mean ? That you’re unable to work ? Unable to sit down and write code ? Unable to learn something new? An approach here might be learning something new tech related to get absorbed find flow and regain that excitment again. Good luck!
>What's wrong with Network Manager?

It's opaque and hard to debug. It may have utility on laptops, but on servers, it is absolutely counterproductive. I could not for the life of me figure out what it was doing w.r.t ipv6 prefix delegation and how it was dealing with dhclient6 internally. My leases would expire but not renew. Eventually, I had to rip it out and create simple configs by hand that work well.
Having grown up with many East Asians, I often times see people confuse East Asian aesthetics with looking 'amateur' to American eyes. I have not seen the show myself, but I wonder how much of this is going on.

But, honestly, I'm surprised you were surprised by the political bent. I thought it was common knowledge that the Chinese government's suppression of traditional chinese art led to a diaspora. I guess having a Chinese piano teacher who fled for similar reasons changes your perspective.
How is your sleep? I find that eating, exercising and sleeping are the base activities from which everything else follows. You mentioned the other two but not sleep.

You mentioned seeing a therapist, but have you taken your symptoms to a doctor? It is possible that your issues stem from a physical illness as opposed to a situation.

On the subject of practical advice, I suggest keeping a journal or diary of your moods and events of the day. I was able to use this to identify triggers that cause me to enter a depressive unproductive state so perhaps there is something that might help for you.
if you have to do this in every step of the Stream then it seems like a failed design.
Nuts or not they fight the good fight on our behalf by acting as an anchor at the other end of the spectrum.

Even if I’m not as ardent about it as a beneficiary of open source in all its forms I can understand the viewpoint of those who are.

There is value in that I think.
As mentioned, if multiple detectors are not spatially coinciding, then one can use the time difference between detection events as well.

Don't conclude that someone is being dogmatic without compelling arguments. Java is a technology, it's ok for it to be superseded by changes in the landscape. I also never said that people should stop using Java, I simply said I felt bad for the people that had to work with it given that it's obsoleted by improvements in sandboxing, package management, and language design.
They aren't standard working terms because of the unions. They are standard working terms because all teachers (who work in state schools at least) are employed by the local education authorities, who in turn set their working terms and salaries based on the government's department for education. So for teachers there is no individual salary negotiation, it's all decided centrally by the government and you either take it, or move to the private schools of which there are a lot less. (This is UK for me, but based on what op said, I think it's similar)
Actually lots of people want to live in smaller places; you may just not know them personally. "No one" is clearly hyperbole, as I know many such people myself. I find that a lot of people who live in big cities have little idea what life in a smaller place is like. It's looked down upon, and even feared, irrationally so. I bet a lot of folks who favor urbanization actually have a wider range of communities in which they would thrive than they think.

What you're asking for, an explicit effort to "decommission" small towns, is in some ways also signing the death warrant on a way of life, a culture. I don't think there's a humane way to do that. I think there are healthier perspectives available, with recognition that different people have different wants/needs. It doesn't have to be only a small number of big cities. It can be some big cities, some medium cities, some small cities, some rural areas.

He's leaving for the reasons that you'd expect. It's a good read, though not at all surprising.
SysV init was so full of fail (race conditions, no dependency management, slow as hell, stupid metaphors -- run levels? really?) that people wrote Systemd. Anyone can expand on systemd to have it do stupid shit it shouldn't. But you can do that with any technology that is composable. It does not mean that the core of systemd isn't anything short of incredibly useful.
I was thinking less along the lines of service industry, and more along the lines of white collar office work. Most of my friends in these roles “work” long hours but actually change very little. This is mirrored by some surveys and reporting I have read about regarding “the rise of bullshit jobs.”

One out of the four software companies I have worked at definitely falls into what you have mentioned, so I suspect my view is colored by the others I have worked at, one of which is renowned for “overworking” their programmers.

Do you mind sharing examples of overfunded rivals? I'd be interested in reading about their trajectories.

I'm also working on helping creators monetize their audiences (but bootstrapped), and it often feels like Patreon is either going to vacuum up all the creators or explode in a VC-funded blaze of glory.
These kind of comments are akin to "why bother with laws if people break them?" Environmental crimes like using plastic nets should be treated as smuggling or piracy is. Total elimination of plastic nets likely won't be possible, just as total elimination of smuggling and piracy hasn't been achieved, but usage would certainly be reduced and any reduction is a win for the environment.
iOS devices can connect to wired ethernet.
Interesting read. It sounds like you lack a "mission" that your startup job provided, and just any old arbitrary mission can't replace it.

My advice would be to figure out what you want out of life: wife, kids, where would you live, what would you do, etc. And I don't mean look fir a new job I mean what do you want to dedicate your life to. Maybe religion, maybe service work, maybe cocaine and hookers. It's up to you.

Then, figure out a plan on what you need to do to achieve it.

You seem to believe that the point of working is the work itself, but the reality is that the point of working is to get money so you can fund your life.

Anyways, you are the only one who can answer what your life goals are and what you need to do to do them so be honest with yourself when your thinking about it
