I guess I'm off-put by something more specific in the article than "taking your career seriously." I know lots of people who take their career seriously in a certain sense. They devote a lot of hours to their career and see it as a source of meaning. However, the center of their focus tends to be "internal" in the sense that, at the end of the day, they are most concerned with the value that their career adds to their own lives.

This article seems to have a very different focal point. It's not about making your career more fulfilling for you. It's not about how to have a career that fulfills your own desires of pursuing your curiosity or doing the sort of good that you enjoy doing (like being a doctor or teacher). Rather, the article is written as if from the perspective of an outside person viewing this person's career. It's about having a career that will please other people. Crowdsourcing your decisions will make you choose the things that other people find worthwhile. Taking on many projects will help you build a diverse resume to impress other people. The last point even specifically says not to spend too much time looking for a job that you find pleasant because there might be jobs that can "do more good" in the world that aren't pleasant.

The whole emphasis on taking a job that benefits the world without necessarily being pleasant for yourself just seems so robotic to me. At the end of the day, why do you care about being altruistic? Presumably because it's a path towards creating a world where people can enjoy life more. If you accomplish this by living a life that you yourself don't enjoy, it just seems antithetical any motivation for improving the world that I can imagine.

I know people who are spending the better part of their youth working hard to become doctors or something similar. They are working very hard and (like the author) thinking about ways of impressing others in pursuit of getting into med school and getting into competitive specialties or whatever. But there are two differences. (1) They know that this sort of impressing others is something they only need to do at the beginning of their career, and (2) they actually like helping others so they will eventually reach a point where their own pleasure and their altruism is aligned. This article seems to be suggesting that we live a life where these things are not aligned, and make no attempt to align them. I understand that there are jobs that aren't fun, and someone has to do them, but I don't expect ambitious people to work hard to find these jobs.

It wasn't just Apollo 11, it was Apollo 11-16. What blew me away about this was the fact that this was, in essence, DIY life-insurance because they couldn't get insurance. I never gave it much though; I just assumed that the U.S. government would have agreed "okay guys, if you get killed going to the moon, we'll make sure your families are taken care of". Guess not? From the Wikipedia page on Apollo Insurance Covers "The ability of astronauts to obtain much life insurance was limited, so they signed hundreds of postal covers before they left, on the presumption that they would become highly valuable in the event of their death." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_insurance_covers
Yes, they've shown the negative tweets and Facebook posts generate a high level of engagement. I think the same reasoning applies to Netflix.

It's like the tech industry is run by frat boys trying to 'neg' the general population, like a dysfunctional relationship where the boyfriend tells the girlfriend she's ugly and fat so she won't leave him.
Imagine a remote military outpost-- the only supply chain access is limited & expensive.

Having vehicles that can go from empty to full in seconds by fuel you pulled out of the air yourself with solar panels last week could be much more valuable than using those same solar panels to charge an electric vehicle (or a battery bank and then later a vehicle).

Certain types of municipal or commercial fleets also have quick-refuel requirements. There are likely a few other limitations to current electrics that ICE engines don't have, as well.
Yeah in PHP, unless you have some opcode caching that ignores file modification time, you simply need to just change the file and it immediately starts running the new code. There isn't a compiled runtime generally that persists across requests. This is one of the great things about php, and is one of the things that made PHP so pervasive and get the marketshare that it did.

When I last did PHP, i ran it all in docker, but the same thing applies.

Still a small percentage. While the average car is 30 minutes twice a day, the small percentage of cars that are not average are still more than the trucks. People on vacation can drive all day. The average car is used for a dentist appoint in the middle of the day once in a while - this all adds up to a lot of cars on the road.

I don't use GoLand, but one thing that's definitely lacking is good autocomplete support.

The language server by sourcegraph isn't too bad, but it often takes more than 10GB RAM for a big project and is not forgiving to errors (i.e. autocomplete, peeking, jumping, referencing will all fail when there are syntax/build errors).

It is quite a complicated system, particularly because it was unique to Citroën. Only a few one-offs from other manufactures used the suspension system. So getting parts was not particularly easy.

Effectively, you ended up making them yourselves. You'll also need to ensure that the pump could handle the extra axle, and that there was sufficient hydraulic liquid to handle the now much larger hydraulic system. Remember the hydraulics also controlled the braking and the steering. All in the same system as the suspension.

There is good reason why a lot of heavy modifications of Citroëns of the era simply did away with the original suspension, and replaced it with bog standard suspension. It requires quite a bit of expertise to understand. It's possible, as Tissier proved. And Jerry Hathaway, who modified a Citroën SM do over 320 km/h, build a pickup out to carry it out of another SM.[0] I had the good fortune of meeting him back in 2017, and his SM.[1]

Thank you very much for these suggestions, many thanks!
The feedback loops are very long so it can be very frustrating to keep trying and failing. It’s also not easy to tell whether something is working or not.
While I think modular.im is a good idea for the Matrix devs to hopefully be able to sustain development, getting more third-party hosts should be the name of the game.

And while I love the Matrix.org folks and all the work they've been doing, the recent hack was such a complete shit-show (with so many glaringly bad decisions). This was likely the result of nowhere near enough resources to dedicate to infrastructure, so maintaining thousands of clients' infrastructure as well would be a very bad decision.

Personally, there's no way I would use them for hosting if I was planning on not using matrix.org anyway.
Also a great idea, thank you!
Zuul (https://zuul-ci.org/) is an open source CI/CD system that does speculative execution of CI on changes across multiple repos. So if you have a change in one repo that depends on a change in another, you can test both together before merging either (and it enforces merging in the correct order).

IME it solves the same problem that monorepos are intended to solve, but without any of the downsides.
Glad to see they kept the original essence and just seemingly updated it.

There are different interpretations of what FIRE is. FIRE in the sense of saving money in order to be less reliant on potentially unfulfilling jobs is certainly a good idea.

However, FIRE as some kind of end-goal to be achieved by all means necessary is unlikely to make many people happy.
Reading the financial independence subreddit, many people think of FIRE as some holy grail - like they will finally be happy once have saved up enough money that they can quit a job they hate. I dont think its healthy to obsess over some kind of medium-distant goal and put all your energy towards it thinking "I will be happy when I'm financially independent".

The old cliche "life is a journey, not a goal" really applies here. Some (though not many) even argue that you shouldn't have kids because they cost so much and will delay your FIRE.
Some people might be interested in the reasoning behind the change:

> It's not typical for "kid[s]" to be put in prison for carrying "a few grams of weed." It might happen sometimes (in a country of 330 million people, everything that can happen will happen sometimes) but it's not typical.

First, this shouldn't be a "sometimes" thing, it should be a "never" thing. You get convicted for drugs, regardless of how much, and your life is forever changed.

Second, for all the made, think about how many times police used the bullshit excuse of "I smell weed" to violate and harass citizens.

OP was right, this country's justice system is broken but it's not beyond repair. We are finally seeing changes in the political landscape that will address many long standing injustices.
I'm also looking at this from a EU perspective and don't really care. If the USA wants to shoot itself in the head why should I care? If anything it might mean more tech work for European techies like myself.

At first reading, this seems like it was a non-committal RFC on a government based broad-strokes approach for a list generated from the Gartner Hypecycle and various other buzzwords; the use of 'Smart Dust' rather than generic reference to MEMS is telling. Some of the established industries operating in most of these sectors are already self-regulating and more than likely know how to deal with export controls.

It is probably easier to blanket-ban/restrict everything and then work from that position to approve it on a case-by-case basis, thus maintaining ambiguity and retaining a degree of power. There is no doubt that there will be a scope for abuse by creating favourable environment for some in the name of politics, and to frustrate progress for others by using red-tape and it won't be the first time either!

I did not know that! Thanks.

I am less concerned about economic efficiency and more about environmental efficiency. The process to set up carbon sequestration facilities will itself produce CO2. If you produce a paltry amount of gasoline because all your energy is going towards that conversion, it might take you years or decades to actually reduce atmospheric CO2.

Even more important is the fact that the gas you produce and sell will go right back into the air as CO2, further reducing your net impact. You would basically need to produce gasoline faster than people can use it. Do you think a private company can do this process and outpace the consumption of Asia and Africa? It’s a catch 22: either your process is so inefficient that you pollute more than you clean up, or it’s efficient enough that you just drop the prices of gasoline, putting CO2 right back into the air. Their option is that you produce so much gasoline that you cannot sell it fast enough. Ironically that will tank your profits.

I think doing something other than gasoline is the answer. Make fertilizer: it will help grow the ecosystem while not immediately winding up as CO2.
Podcast Episode with Charlie Lee Talking about BTC, LTC, and Crypto
The deferred prosecution agreement essentially means that as long as the SEI adheres to the financial terms of the plea agreement the government will eventually drop the charges [0]. That's an amazing deal in its generosity and I'm sure that the financial penalties levied are outweighed by the financial gain realized over the years of their fraudulent activity. The rationale for not pursuing the company for the full $700 million dollars lost escapes me. The damages were entirely foreseeable.

"We" are my teammates and I at a small company in Mumbai, India.

The tools we use for this are just: a programming language (Python, looking to add some Hy), a rich SSH library in the programming language, and some wrappers we wrote around simple tools and techs (e.g., rsync, tls, git, sqitch etc.).

The wrappers themselves are (currently) 1261 lines of code (according to sloccount).

We arrived at this after building our automation in Ansible, and then Salt, and learning from all the troubles and frictions we went through with either. They're both fine tools themselves, great for many tasks we'll never need to do, but some of their design decisions are at odds with what we needed.
I suspect the bad humanities teacher is a result of university politics in the "office politics" sense allowed to degrade and stagnate.

Essentially if it takes those who are good at the bullshitting game to advance and compete for tenure bullshit becomes the defacto qualifier.

Making matters better yet worse for "optimizing" in both senses are those who actuly are sincerely interested in thd subject - I have had decent ones who would give good marks and respect those who differed philosophically but could give sincere and articulated explanations and justifications.
Note the former doesn't fully allow customers to put their money where their mouth is, since a great deal of their electricity/power will be used indirectly. So voting for government mandates will ensure that the companies they buy from are using clean power even if they are suppliers to suppliers to suppliers and so not directly influenceable via consumer action.

I think you nailed it on your last line. What we are seeing is the intel apparatus deeply ingrained in tech. I hate the phrase "intel community" as if this is a nice bunch of people who get together afternoons to play chess.

> First, this shouldn't be a "sometimes" thing, it should be a "never" thing. You get convicted for drugs, regardless of how much, and your life is forever changed.

Communities have the right to declare certain things unacceptable and police their citizens accordingly. The regulation of vice and harmful substances is one of the core functions of state and local governments. In a country of 330 million people, that means that "sometimes" people will exercise that right in a way that you or I think is undesirable or even unjust. But the self-determination of communities is a more fundamental right than the right to consume whatever substances you want.
Far from certain doesn't make it unlikely.

I think it's far more likely that falsified test results could have caused a billion in damage. Over the course of 19 years? Substandard parts being used in the shuttle is just one data point. Who knows how many substandard parts went into other products' increased failure modes whose burdens were borne by third parties (including US and foreign citizens).

This is a concern with monorepo but you can still enforce the boundaries programmatically. For example you can add some simple, custom lint rules that prevent cross-boundary imports.

Another thing you can do is have your CI only check out specific directories when running tests using something like git’s sparse-checkout.

Well, HNers complains the MacBook keyboard as it’s a complete trash, but please remember that there are plenty of people that likes and even loves the butterfly keyboard. The keyboard itself is pretty awesome and provides much stabler keys than usual keyboards (whether it’s membrane or mechanical). They work regardless of what part of key I press, which means that typo rates significantly decreases. I’m happily using my MBP’s butterfly keyboard with Vim. Just please, don’t say keyboards are terrible after using for a few hours. There’s a reason why Apple is keep placing the butterfly keyboards in top-range Macbooks.

This lie is repeated pretty often. I had several periods in my life (few months of sleep deprivation after my daughter was born, stressful periods during university, etc), when it required a huge amount of conscious effort to be nice with colleagues, not to mention dealing with assholes.
At trial, the government would have to prove that, more likely than not, specific sub-standard aluminium caused a specific launch to fail. (Sometimes, where there may be many occurrences of failures, you can create a statistical model showing that some defect caused an X% increase in failures. That doesn't seem applicable here, where there were a handful of failures that happened in different ways.)
The problem with Tingling sensations are that it can occur for any number of reasons, in the order of occurrence - Anxiety, Spinal issues, Issues with the nerves in the hand; unfortunately I had reasons to believe, I had all of them.

Apart from treating spinal stenosis, the tingling sensations were not treated specifically as the none of the tests isolated the reason for it. But, after spine surgery tingling sensations haven't occurred much which seems to suggest whether spinal stenosis was the reason for it.

I will link[1] the article you read just for the context of others. I haven't updated it, since then my neck movements have improved.

I have isolated the issue to pressure on the nerves in hands while sleeping on that side.

There is available tooling to help you with that, not only has to be discipline.

A monorepo oriented build tool such as Bazel will make sure that you don't compile more than needed. This is extremely efficient. In fact, in my company with a few hundred projects we tried it and it was 10 times faster than our previous Maven based workflow. These tools also help you with dependency management so you keep your code organized. The killer feature is that you finally have true Continuous Integration because the build tool will figure out any dependencies of the code that you change, rebuilding it and testing to make sure that nothing is broken.
