I think there's a process everyone has to go through in life of working out what truly makes them happy.

When you're in your early 20s everyone has similar goals - you're going to be a goddamn giant success, no matter what your field is. As the years go on you realise that's not going to happen and you have to re-evaluate. It's not always easy.

For me personally, I know I do good work. I know my coworkers can rely on me to deliver. Maybe I could be out there giving more conference talks and raising my profile, but I've learned to accept that isn't my forte, and that's ok. As engineers most of us are extremely lucky that even with very little public recognition we still earn the kind of money most people can only dream of.

When I'm at work, I do the best I can do. Then I get out of the door at a good time, go home to my family and have a blast with them. I'm happy, though my 21 year old self might recoil in horror to see it.

LibrePCB 0.1.2 Released
I really like lots of ports, but, quite frankly, when I'm on my desk, I'd prefer to plug in a single cable over plugging in HDMI, Ethernet, USB and power. I like the fact my monitor has a USB hub that connects keyboard and mouse and, if the next one can do power, video, Ethernet and USB over a single USB-C connector, I'm all in for it.
CBOR has extremely slow encoding/decoding in C/C++ when compared to structs. Nothing is perfect.
The other person is just a vehicle for existing shame/self loathing. If you want to stop feeling this way I suggest trying therapy and confronting the deeper sources of these feelings.

I and many other people do not ever seethe about the successes of others. I don’t say that to self-aggrandize, but rather to counter some of the other people here saying it’s normal or universal. It’s not.

In primitives, yes; but that's not the point with Lisp, whereas it is for those alternatives.
If you're in Western Europe, why does that weird USA regulation about "accredited investor" matter to you?

I run a Dutch startup. As far as I know, all our (also Dutch) angel investors did was:

* Sign papers
* Transfer money

So unless I'm missing something, and if you're serious about doing high risk investing, it's just ("just") a matter of finding good startups that are looking for money.
I can see how it may have come off that way. It was my first thought as I’ve seen people get pretty exited about the new—rather than the old. Some thoughts are better kept to the self.
Also killed by Google

I mean, yes, obviously if there are people who aren't getting money despite actually being a good investment, then of course that's something that should be identified. However, I don't think that's a necessarily large amount of people (I could be totally wrong, this is just a gut feeling). It's a pretty well known failure mode that investors try not to fall into.

I think a much bigger arbitrage opportunity, one that e.g. YC tried to exploit a lot at first, is getting people who aren't looking for money, but would actually be a good investment, to try building a startup. That's why pg wrote so much about why people should build startups - he thought (and I imagine still thinks?) that there are way more good startups that can be built, if only more people were trying to build them.

"It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future" . (Unknown Dane https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/10/20/no-predict/)

I worked my first real law job for a couple who idolized JFK, but never really knew why, they were right-center what I thought Republicans. With more maturity I've come to realize the immensity of the loss and the damage the country and the rest of the world particularly in SE Asia suffered in his passing. It took Johnson to pass JFK's ideas, true, Great Society, and take us to the moon, and now we're disassembling it and regressing. The shame of it all.
I'm still deeply affected by this, although my life, having a son and a second on the way, should have taught me better by now.

I didn't grow up very competitive, never played any sports, but I started working very early so that's where I got most of my positive affirmation, so that's one reason why I always put so much focus on the importance of my professional success.

Another is that I grew up relatively poor and tell myself I've fought to attain wealth and happiness at the same time for myself and my family, so seeing someone else achieving these goals before me triggers me to see myself as a failure, doubting and regretting decisions in my past, which is obviously self-destructive and not a good way to live your life.

So far I've managed to use the emotions of envy to focus myself in times of distress or immense pressure, but it's only a stopgap solution until I manage to find contentment with my situation, however the outcome, the road to stoicism can be quite long though.

Whenever I feel envy (and I inevitably do) I try to to use it as a guide for what I should work on.

I acknowledge I’m not as good as I could be. And I try to use it as fuel to improve my own life.

I crucify myself with all that I lack in the hopes of a “transformation.”

In practice, that means setting some time aside in the day to read more, workout more, practice more.

But I have to be careful. Sometimes envy can be deceitful. It’s easy to fall for things I don’t actually want.

So I use envy as a guide, an approximate one, to reflect on what I lack and what I can do to change it, if anything at all.

It’s my Elysian mirror.
Just a reminder that the gay population is quite large in the Bay Area so there is obviously a bias on this type of topics on HN.

When people say in the same message that doctors quote studies saying that circumcision is generally good for health, and that they know nothing about the topic but find these findings suspicious, you know what's going on.

By the reasonings found in this thread, removing wisdom teeth is mutilation too. There is nothing wrong with being against circumcision for your own penis or for the one of your children, but intolerance is quite disappointing.

It is not because you find something bad that this thing should be made illegal.
10 Offers, 100 Days. Journey and Advice
As others have said, acceptance is a big first step. Next, consider that jealousy comes from a scarcity mindset: There is only x wealth/success/power, and this other person got it.

If you can transition yourself to an abundance mindset, I think you'll find the success of your peers as a collective asset: as your field or group becomes more credible/successful, more opportunities will open up for you. If you can figure out how to use their success to your benefit, you maybe find yourself thankful for them.

If that was my main goal i would use drugs, or just kill myself. Maximize "good" feelings is a better heuristic because most people accept arbitrary large amount of "bad" feelings, if that promises something good at the end.

If a theory leads to conclusion that you should kill someone to help it, then something in its axioms is clearly wrong. Though looking at your username i am not sure if you were suggesting the above seriously or simply were trolling people who think that way.
This finding seems confounded by biased populations: "engagement (number of page views per unique IP) is half or less of the old desktop or third party app".

I would expect that only the most engaged users would be using old desktop or third party app, since those are much harder to find and require much more effort (such as digging through settings, or investigating other app options). The less engaged, casual users would be using the default options (new web or default mobile app) because they're much easier to find.

Therefore I propose the causation goes the opposite direction of what you're suggesting: it's not that old web/3rd party app cause users to be more engaged, but rather that being highly engaged causes users to use old web/3rd party app.
EU-U.S. trade talks: milestone reached in mutual recognition on pharmaceuticals
This really depends on what the company wants to adopt as “core”. They cannot be great at everything, so they must be careful in picking what topics to be experts in.

For example, maybe the Slack like app wants to be able to upload, distribute, and archive huge computer files. Everyone has tried to upload a file to an email, slack, or discord message and was told the file was too large. Our platform is going to be the platform for sharing 1TB sized files for collaboration purposes, with the goal of supporting 10TB in summer 2020 and 1PB before 2022.

The company should 100% make their own network protocol for transferring files.
For C structs, start with a uint32_t 4 char code identifier and a size field. Then you can extend them as long as you only ever append, which is a constraint on protobufs anyways. This is how most media containers have worked since the Amiga days.

Meanwhile, their encoding/decoding is infinitely faster than most other serialization formats, allowing you to serialize data back and forth to disk or as IPC faster than anything else.
I could rephrase to “too much money and not enough risk adjusted places to put it.” Also I’m not particularly tapped in but in major cities in the US I believe seed is still reasonably easy to come by. Series A+ is getting tougher with rates higher than they were in ~’13 risk appetite is lower at that investment size.

Sure we could have a discussion about how geography shouldn’t matter, but right now being physically close to the money is an important factor.
Fashion, expensive clothes, makeup, hairstyles: all of it feels like the last gasp of a historical precedent that is, ultimately, shallow and meaningless. In the same way that sports is meaningless. Mostly harmless, totally meaningless.

My larger critique of appearance-minding is how manifestly classist it is: certain (expensive) clothes and appearances must be worn in certain places and social circles to identify your belonging. Lots of people are screened out by this filter alone. And time and money is wasted on appearance.

It's also ironic that, among a certain set, whose profound knowledge and skills are so vast and impressive that they deserve massive compensation for their time (I'm looking over at the C-suite here), there is still plenty of time and energy available to focus on appearance: clothes, shoes, cars, hairstyles. All vapid things. Vaporware. Hmmm.

> It’s not only the form factor. They’re also obsessed with high resistance switches (going as high as 65 and even 80g activation point) which is sure way to develop RSI.

I wrote a book for O'Reilly (https://buildingtoolswithgithub.teddyhyde.io/) and I only say that because what I'll say next is controversial.

First, there must be a huge market for technical books that don't appeal to Lisp fanatics. There are people coming from nontraditional backgrounds into technical roles, and they, I assert, probably want a different book than the types of books O'Reilly generally publishes, which are very technical, like those dealing with Lisp.

Two, and this is what is controversial: O'Reilly as a publisher is unable to offer those types of books and misses out on those types of customers.

I don't know how they marketed my book, honestly. I intended that it would speak to the beginner programmer by offering up chapters that introduced a new programming language in each chapter. I hoped people who weren't technology experts would find a gentle path into technology with my book. But I don't think it resonated, maybe that speaks to the quality of the book, but maybe not.

Less than 1% of the people in the world are software developers. Are the people fascinated by Lisp less than 1% of that? But, excluding say the Luddite population, let's say 90% of the rest of the people in the modern world do want to learn about technology and how to play with it, and I'm not sure O'Reilly knows how to reach them. O'Reilly is full of some of the smartest people in the tech community, but I'm not sure the empathy for beginners is there and that's hindering them as a publisher.
I work in software development in the UK. Even good, highly experienced developers working for top employers over here rarely make what a total newbie in their first job makes in a place like SV. In purely financial terms, almost every developer I know is in the position where much younger, much less capable people are earning a lot more than them somewhere else.

The thing is, it doesn't matter. There are sports players in the world who make more money in a week than most of those SV developers make in a year, too. Maybe I could move to the US and make enough to pay off my entire mortgage in a year or two. But I don't want to live and work in the US, so for me personally, that opportunity isn't interesting or relevant.

What matters to me in terms of my professional career is making the most of opportunities when I do want what they offer, and being content that my professional development is OK and I'm doing good work that I enjoy. Obviously better compensation is always welcome, but the reasons I'm glad I went freelance and ultimately started my own businesses are mostly about increased flexibility, diversity, and making my/our own decisions instead of being subordinate to The Boss. You can't put a price on the improvements in quality of life that come from a better work environment and better work/life balance.
That's certainly true, and I waste time, too. Everyone does. To me, if obviously not to everyone, doing some of these other things has been rejuvenating and energizing.

It is okay to waste time, or fritter it away doing something you value and nobody else does; I felt it important to say, though, that I don't think this was a laudable achievement.

i offer paid and free mentoring (free if you work on my own projects, most of which are FOSS).

i don't know if i have enough experience C++ to be a good guide for you. it depends on what you expect from a mentor.

i recently worked with a student learning rust, without any rust experience on my side. i helped the student to structure the program, while they had to explain to me how certain rust constructs worked. that had the effect of the student having to explain what they learned about rust, which is a powerful way to increase their learning. (if you want to learn something, try teaching it to someone else)

When Alexis Ohanian gave a talk at Google in 2013 I asked him afterwards about converting Reddit from Common Lisp to Python. He said the Common Lisp version crashed too often. He even made a funny comment about this when he autographed Without Their Permission for me.

I agree with you, the web apps in CL story is much better now. I am biased, now that I am mostly retired most of my fun side projects are in CL (with Haskell being a close second).

I really don’t care what languages other people choose to use but using CL makes me happy and I enjoy reading about other people doing good things in CL.
Lisp the language has "code as data" which other languages are just catching up on. Basically, you can generate code using formal code, not a pre-processor

This might be related but I think the bigger arb opportunity is looking outside of SF/NYC. There are some PE funds operating in the Midwest and doing great, but I think it’s still pretty difficult to find early/growth equity funding.
I know I am. After they killed Health, Reader, Finance and Moderator, it became clear their new services weren't worth my time investing in. They've killed 143 services, 14 apps and 14 pieces of hardware since 2001. [1] I'm not even sure Finance is accurately reflected on this list since it just got neutered. I don't care how big a company you are, killing 10 products per year is one heck of a pace.

First, there's no intrinsic value. If a healthy company's share price drops to zero, I'll buy up as much as I can, making a profit on just its cash reserves. Bitcoin isn't "healthy" (or unhealthy); it doesn't hold assets; it is the asset.

Second, companies (hopefully) generate value and return it in buybacks or dividends.

It goes a little bit beyond your question, but Bitcoin on its own doesn't create value in the same way a company does. Investing in Bitcoin is much more like buying Turkish Lira.

Acknowledging your feelings is a good first step.

The next step is to realize and accept that you can only impact things that are within your sphere of influence. Focus 100% on those things, especially the things that make you happy.

Note that you rarely know the full story behind someone else’s success. It may have been luck, it may have been privilege, it may have been that they are simply able to perform at a level that you are not capable of (at least not yet). All of those things are OK — just focus on what you have influence over.

Not to mention that years of potential life lost is tricky to define, and the method in vogue isn't very good: take all the people with a condition, filter that group down to those who died before age X, and the years of potential life lost is the difference between X and the ages of death. Funnily enough, this method says the name "John" is a condition which reduces your expected lifespan.

The method can be improved, but after a certain point it's just a bad imitation of relative survival.

One aspect of this that you might be overlooking is that the syntax for function pointers has to follow the syntax of function declarations.

Why should a new language inflict this horror on its users:

let i32 (*foobar)(i32, i32) = add;

When it can do this instead:

let foobar: fn(i32, i32) -> i32 = add;

I agree that circumcision for the sake of traditional is essentially mutilation, and I definitely object to that. society is pretty secular these days though. I haven't talked to a lot of people about circumcision, but most of them (or their parents) just did it because it was the prevailing medical opinion at the time. if your doctor recommends a relatively common procedure for your child, you will probably go along with it unless you have a good reason to believe you know better.
When it comes to that, I accept that I am a different person, a person with different past, values and traits. I also like to think (mostly to make myself feel a bit better) that such a person might not be experiencing many other (valuable) things in life that I am or other people are. If that is not true and that high level peer is having a great life outside of work as well, then I simply admire them. If anything, that just shows me how good one can be; it propels me to push harder at least a little bit more.

It all depends on one's state of mind. I've had times when it was difficult for me to face such a fact, and times when I looked at it in a quite positive way.
