I can totally relate to this. I'm in same shoes. Thing I can tell you is that, if you wish to get it back start doing small thing that are easy to do and allow yourself to fail. Be happy about it. You are human just like everyone else. If you think that you need to be somewhere in high place just to feel happiness, then you need to inspect on that thought and correct it.
I wish to write more on this. I might write own journey on blog and share you the link.

Hope this help.

Yes definitely you can get it back, your passion and that energy.
Yes, I remember a huge case on the news where a company named Hooli went after the founder of a company named Pied Piper - it turned out that the founder of Pied Piper, Richard Hendricks, had to take his laptop in for repair one day and used a Hooli computer to do some testing of his program. Because of this, Pied Piper's IP almost went into the hands of Hooli and the CEO, Gavin Belson, was quite pleased. Fortunately, there was a problem with the employment contract, and the contract was actually voided by the judge, so the IP stayed with Pied Piper. I wouldn't count on that always happening though.
Gotta love how there's a whole chunk of complicated compatibility code to emulate the old DOS-ism of having per-drive current directories.
>> is engineering in China big enough

The feeling I've gotten is that there are internal communities in China, Russia and possibly Japan. Then there is the rest that clumps together in English. I'd love to get some confirmation of this though, as it is just my hunch.
Rather easily.

Your arguments are all about having a fuzzy boundary if you introduce a sharp cut-off. Granted, but irrelevant to the topic and divorced from reality in that there is decidedly not a continuum, which is the whole point of offense.
It was never true. Some industries required JVs, some still do, some never did.
Come to think of it, 'assumptions' is awfully broad. I was thinking of in-code assumptions (We assume x is non-negative), but I think you're thinking of requirements-level assumptions?

I agree that requirements-level assumptions (We assume the Vogon server will allow us to make at most 4 connections at any time) are exactly the sort of thing that should be captured in comments. I'm not sure there's a bright line between assumptions and requirements here, really.

My other point there was that any non-trivial code-level assumption that can reasonably be captured with an assert, should be captured with an assert, in preference over a comment.
> Underlying the pathetic quest for all power is fear: the fear of death. Some billionaires are building posh survival compounds and funding Frankensteinian research programs to defeat genetic decline

Yes. I think it's important to understand the M.O. of the people who quest after power, and what types of systematic errors come along with that.
The idea being when wr farm, it becomes a very populus species.
I generally agree, but I have Redis as part of my main stack now, and it's been pretty solid. I'm fairly distrustful of "cloud" services, though, so I run my stuff on Hetzner and manage them myself. For my revenues, where a day's downtime might cost me $5/mo in lost revenue, I think it makes more sense.

The point of being a boss isn't just to have power over others (although I'm sure some do enjoy that) but to get more stuff you want done by delegating it. Of course a danger is eventually you don't get to do any of the stuff you want to do yourself because you are spending all your time supervising the people who are actually doing it.
Chickens are one the most successful animals on earth! By evolving to become fatter, more succulent, and delicious, they have convinced humans to feed and house them, and in doing so have multiplied to vast numbers and spread their genes almost everywhere across the globe.

I feel like the create/delete queue semantics hint that a queue should be a long-lived thing that consumers are configured to connect to.

With this CPu chiplet design they couldn't have 2 8 core packages and a GPU on a single die.

For the vast majority of professional use cases 8 core / 16 thread running at 4.5+ boost is going to be way enough for a while. AMD sure has spoiled the market in just two years on commoditizing 8 core desktop chips because in 2016 the conversation would be about what flavor of $400+ quadcore or $800+ sextacore from Intel you were going to get.
Regarding bananas, I would recommend taking a look at the history of the United Fruit Company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Fruit_Company

It's really a fascinating but tragic history of the exploitation of "banana republics" where banana exports become so profitable that a US-based company owned more land in some Central American countries than anyone else. They had (have?) huge fleets of ships solely for the purpose of bringing bananas into the US.

It is quite a long and complicated story, and there are more than a few books written about it.
"If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem."
Bulk transport is amazingly cheap.

Those bananas are transported from the tree to a hub, from the hub to another, and from the second hub to your shop. The price of transport is almost independent of the distance involved in the middle step.
I've read that for every order of magnitude increase in price, available reserves of minerals triples. It seems more likely that space colonies will export intellectual property than mineral wealth, especially since even if we get space elevators, Earth has all we need, especially as mines become automated.

The main problem with this effort is statistical. Medical databases are not accurate samples of the population; they are biased in hundreds of ways (doctor X is running a clinic for disease Y, but doesn't see many poor people because of Medicaid issues, etc.). People get excited about these because there is "so much data", but since it isn't collected prospectively, even if we could bulk extract all the data (which we can't, it's a fucking mess) any conclusions we drew would be invalid.
Ask HN: How has being overweight impeded your career?
A few colleagues mentioned that they felt their weight (one obese, another on the heavy side) was an important reason for their rejection after recent on-site interviews. I was just curious whether this is anecdotal or there is indeed discrimination against overweight people even among the coders (i.e., intellectual labor).

I know that some people forego certain job opportunities if the on-site interview involves long, uncomfortable flights.

Do you think your weight has affected your career adversely?

Well, I do have to log in with my google account to read it...
A “well off tech worker” is already paying taxes similar to what they would in Europe. An individual making $300k pays a marginal rate of almost 45% in California, about the same as in Germany. But in Germany, the marginal rate of 42% kicks in for income above about $70,000. In California, that rate is 30% for a single person. Their equivalent of FICA taxes is 17.5% for the employee share, versus 7.5% here. (And both their medical and pension social insurance taxes are only paid on the first $70-80k of income, versus here where SS is paid on up to $130k and Medicare is paid on all income.)

It’s worth playing around with a German tax calculator: https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/gehalt/gross_net_calcu.... A single person making 30,000 euros in Germany pays about 25% of total income in taxes. In California it’s about 15%. Someone making 300,000 euros pays about 45%. In California, it’s almost exactly the same, 44%. That’s not counting the 20% VAT, which will disproportionately hit the person making 30,000. (That also doesn’t count all the middle class deductions which don’t exist in Germany, like the mortgage interest deduction.)

I’m perfectly willing to pay German taxes to have a German style welfare state. (It would be even better if we had Germans running those new public services.) The question is whether middle class Americans are willing to do so.
Assuming a non corrupted and effective judiciary/police force, money is a proxy for power.
Just because you don't understand the desire for power doesn't make it "pathetic" or a "fear response" as the author puts it. This sounds more like post-rationalization than actual introspection.

Success in large scale projects always goes to the better organized. Without a unifying, guiding plan, confusion reigns, and projects fail. And that plan needs to come from someone not only with vision, but also the ability to enlist the labor of his fellow man. In other words: power.

"Underlying the pathetic quest for all power is fear: the fear of death." - This is a very narrow point of view, and completely discounts the useful and good ways in which power is used.

"funding Frankensteinian research programs to defeat genetic decline and death." - Notice the use of loaded words to dismiss attempts at dealing with the oldest affliction known to man: aging. Even if it doesn't lead to immortality, imagine living to 80 in the body of a 20 year old! Imagine the improvement in the quality of life for everyone! We're learning how the cellular degradation process works, and how to fix it. Why would you want to disparage that? Because you want someone to blame for your ennui, and the "billionaire tycoons" and by extension anything they like makes for an easy target.

"The sanest people, I think, are those happily unafflicted with ambition — whether for power, wealth, fame or achievement — who want only to work at some useful job, to love someone and to live in a nice place with some wind chimes on the porch."

This is beginning to sound like the Communist Manifesto.

>When you are done designing your Webpage

What do you mean by 'webpage'? Because SPAs are really applications that are served over http(s) and executed by the browser.

>I may be old fashioned in this regard, but i only see JS as a Add-on

You are. People want to build applications served over the web instead of installed locally. In those cases JS is not an add-on. In fact, the DOM is an add-on as it is nothing more than a layout manager and UI component set.

Sounds like you just want webpages to be nothing more than a medium for publishing text content in which case CSS and HTML is all you need ... but that ship has sailed in early 2000s.
Power is very addictive to certain personalities. Give me money, any day.
I suspect the mechanical-style door switches on microwave ovens require some amount of door movement/opening before activating. The door is also I believe a part of the RF shield that contains the microwave radiation. As it opens and allows a gap before the off-switch activates — this seems likely your window of microwave leakage — not so much the residual waves that might linger after the device is powered off.

Why Swift May Be the Next Big Thing in Deep Learning
The freedom to do what you want is entirely predicated upon those with power. It so follows that in order to truly secure the freedom to "do what you want", the only real long term viable solution is to attain power. Try telling those living under an autocracy that they should give up any hope for power and just be happy doing whatever they want. Nietzsche describes this perfectly in On the Genealogy of Morality and Beyond Good and Evil. The only way to truly be master of ones destiny is in creating the circumstances under which one will exist, not simply living at the whims of another. Those who think they are achieving true actualization through the shunning of power are simply deluded, or lucky enough that their local circumstances have provided a modicum of stability and freedom.

You mean "assuming a corrupted"?
Except it's not just money, but money put into some long-lasting, "good use" enterprise (like that stone building). Which tends to give power, even if only a passive one.
Tl;dr on-campus programs are in decline while online programs are growing. Seems like the title is a tad misleading, the programs aren’t shutting down, they’re going online.

But isn’t a lot of the value of an MBA in the face time and networking you get during the program? (Or is that a myth or only something that happens at Harvard?) Every once in a while I think about going back and getting an MBA, speculating it might help with my next startup, but I’ve always imagined going to campus. Are online tools and online degrees improving in the areas of having class discussions and making friends and asking questions and general people time?

I’m quite amazed by the lack of substance in this article. It takes potshots at certain ideas and processes, without managing to explain these potshots, or even coherently explain the ideas and processes. It is a flimsy opinion piece with no substance, but a clickbait title so everyone ran here to comment.

What a virtuous cycle
The Kennedy and Bush clans wield some power, true.

But nothing compared to those who control the media. (Look at the generations of families that run Hollywood.) They control the narrative, which controls the masses, which choose to empower the Bush/Kennedy/Clinton alternatives.
I do think it's possible that streaming game services and what you are talking about wind up a little different. I could imagine that streaming game services could spin up and down servers more dynamically depending on demand. There would be a lot of motivation to do this in a more automated fashion than regular game studios because the streaming service will be dealing with 1000's of titles not just a handful. I think generally you keep your saved game info locally and then it is fed to a server which starts you at the appropriate place? I'm making a lot of assumptions but I do think the basis of my argument 1000's of titles vs ~10 is a pretty good reason to think this won't be handled in the same way.

Also, games like GTA V have been supported for a crazy amount of time. Transitioned into online play. People have probably gotten 1000's of hours of gameplay from a $60 purchase. I play things like fallout and minecraft so I also get a huge gameplay time to cost ratio, so I'm not very sensitive to this from my personal experience.
A bash script would be shorter for sure. I just could not find any that does the job. And those 50 line bash scripts tend to be hard to distribute and maintain IMHO.
It's 20% not 25% (more accurately, 19%). These are real numbers not something I made up. And the increase in bandwidth from 3G to 4G was ~4x, 400%, so the increase from 4G LTE modulation to 5G NR is pretty marginal in comparison.
7 in 10 voters thought Palin said she could see Russia from her house but it was Tina Fey on SNL.

Social skills are just that — skills.

How do you normally best acquire new programming skills? Video tutorials, books, online articles or perhaps podcasts?

Pick the medium that is best for you and then find resources on social skills.

One of my issues used to be understanding emotions. Several books later, I'm a much more balanced person. We tend to view charisma based skills as something that people are born with but it's not. They are just regular skills you must learn and train.
I've never had the chance to visit Joe Beef, but they're brilliant.

Though I recall a heartfelt article from one of the owners who outlined how they had recently about-faced on their habits. They've gone sober and are focused on their health now and regret (not sure if that's the right word) of the excess they imposed in the way they did.[0][1]

Also, Bourdain gives quite the view into the 'old' Joe Beef. Worth a watch.

its 1,000 times more likely that a software engineer trying to do business in China would enjoy a life of privilege and exemption from socioeconomic issues in China

just like someone from China would experience a life of privilege and exemption from socioeconomic issues in America after their parents paid a few million dollars for Stanford tuition, and I've met people that are afraid of America because of the civil rights issues seen on the news who are completely oblivious to the circumstances that would create them.

there is a tendency to focus on things that aren't really indicative of the experience you would have, and this has nothing to do with China specifically

In nature, might makes right. Most societies around the world, as they advance, replace this with a less violent way to trade resources and services. If you define power as the capacity to do something (or obtain something), then money has been the solution that most societies have figured.

I specify non corrupted to exclude situations such as mafias and gangs using force instead of money to make things happen.
