Maaaaybe sometimes, but if you come at it from that perspective you aren't going to convince enough people to change their minds.

The way it's been sold to the public is not from the perspective of benefitting prisons; so you need to address the argument that the public is given: that illicit drugs are so dangerous that the enforcement is worth it.

There are lots of countries without "reaganomics" or any private prisons, which are extremely strict and punitive when it comes to illicit drugs.

It looks like the law is going in the right direction though, the recent sentencing reform has been great, decriminalization (or at least, sentencing/institutions that do more good than harm) should be the next step, but it's not at the top of anyone's platform as far as I can tell.

Added: another story on Hacker News today, related to prison labour in a country which isn't the U.S. (I see absolutely nobody crying foul): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20427122

"One advantage of AMD over Intel is AMD included SHA hardware acceleration on every Ryzen processor."

What do you think is more common? People rolling their own SHA implementation or people calling <insert crypto library>'s SHA256()? The former will barely get any sort of optimization, regardless of compiler flags, the latter will automatically use the SHA extensions.

Don't morphological differences shared across a large population group indicate genetic/biological differences which are fundamental?

I don't think we are talking about the same diy.

There is one definition of diy, which I guess is now more common, that means self-repair, crafting or hobbyism. But there is also a more distinct definition, as in diy culture, that means having the capabilities that are usually only afforded certain professionals or companies. It is primary the latter definition that creates innovation and communities.

The parent was asking why there isn't more innovation in keyboards despite the freedom to create them. The reason is because most of these keyboard are scrapbooks rather than zines. For that purpose 3d printing and handwiring makes sense. But for the purpose of innovation you need to be able to distribute your ideas. Which is something most people can't, because it is hard to do so.

That is why most people are making flat keyboards, because that is what is within their reach. But that is more ikea than hip hop. Maybe we should call it aiy, assemble-it-yourself, instead (but that really isn't that important).
For what is worth I just asked around in family barbecue if anyone knows a Google product that shutdown. No one knows.

I think it extends to saying that people who aren't me feel pain. another thing I have no evidence of. Being a black American, at points there has actually been a scientific consensus that I myself don't feel pain. Just because I react similarly to you when you feel pain doesn't mean that you're not anthropomorphizing.

I have a keyboard with silent black MX switches and I never felt any need for clickyness.

The cool thing about these linear switches (Black, Red, Silver, Grey) is that you can type extremely silent if you like to, by just hovering the keys or you can type loudly by bottoming them out (if somebody was wrong on the internet or so).

When I type silently it is less loud than my lenovo notebook keyboard.

For me the click was never really necessary — the resistance of the spring is already enough. Maybe it is because I play guitar, bass and piano.
Is this some kind of sick joke?
> The best explanation of the concept and its basis the article “Productivity Variations Among Developers and Teams: The Origin of 10x” by Steve McConnell. Here are the key things to know about “10x engineers”:

> 10x refers to the difference between the best and worst developers, not the best and average.

The cited article is using a different definition of 10x engineer than I'm aware of. There's hardly a limit to the worst and I'd believe 100x or 1000x variation with this interpretation. In fact the worst are negative so don't even work on this scale.
For instance the 1977 (79?) law against corruption of foreign officials has been in almost all cases involving large companies, only been used against foreign ones, except in once case, Halliburton. In fact in that very case Valourec (French) was working on a common contract with Halliburton and was attacked first, but they negotiated by implicating their partner (both were punished).

Concerning US embargoes, the DoJ has extorted many billion dollars from foreign companies for breaking these. However there was no embargo between, say, Germany and Iran; as some transactions happened to be in USD, DoJ consider that Deutsche Bank, by providing services priced in US$ to Iran, violated the US embargo. Ditto other European banks. This looks like blackmail: US Treasury grabbed more than USD 14 billions from European banks using this tactic.
Also the US blocked various arms sales between various countries because the weapons used some US-made parts (typically some electronic chip deep inside), only to keep the deal to themselves.

Basically that means that any company making transactions in US$ must comply to US law, always and everywhere. If my company sold some product to some Russian company with a price in USD, it could be sued by a US prosecutor. Then when visiting a friend in the US, I could be jailed (even if I hadn't no direct relation with the targeted sale, simply as a company board member or manager).

If my product includes any US-made part, my international sales are depending upon US goodwill. Which, in the case of billion-dollars contracts, will probably enter the scene.

Seems preposterous? It actually happened many times. It happened to the VP Asia of Alstom, jailed nearly 4 years in the US to blackmail his company for the sole benefit of General Electric. One of Deutsche Bank VP was extradited from Croatia to the US while on holidays, and jailed in a high security prison like a murderer. Etc.

Have you heard of ultralight travel?

https://jamesclear.com/ultralight-travel

These days I travel with only a 19-liter backpack. It doesn't matter if it's a day trip to San Jose or a 3-week vacation in Europe. That pretty much eliminates all of the stresses, costs, and inconveniences that luggage has a way of inflicting on you when traveling. My last multi-week vacation to London, Amsterdam, and Paris with only this relatively small backpack was a revelation. I'm never going back. For me you can't make a laptop that's lightweight or small enough.
Drugs in Portugal are still illegal, so that doesn't answer the question.

i.reddit.com is dramatically older and is still there.

There's no need to ever turn it off. New users will overwhelmingly use the new design (if they don't think it's fine, how would they ever become engaged enough to even find out that there's a different option?) and eventually it's just something that makes some long-time power users happy and everyone else doesn't care about.

If you compare a piano with a standard keyboard, there are a lot of differences. The problem with the standard keyboard is, that for touch-typing, the hands need to be angled very unnaturally, as they have to be close together, yet lined up in an almost parallel position. The only way to achive that is to flex your wrists, and that is where a lot of stress originates from.

A piano is very wide, and you often have you hands spaced very far from each other. This reduces a lot of stress. Also, you don't have your fingers basically tied to the same positions, but during the play, the wrists change position a lot, so there is no static pressure into a single unnatural position. The active movement should be beneficial to your wrists too. Finally, the keys are pretty large, giving more possible hand positions to hit them.

FWIW no one aspires to be Scottie Pippen or Dennis Rodman, we all wanna Be Like Mike.

But Pippen had the most rebounds and Rodman the most assists during that time. That’s what made the team win, you want to win as a team and there is no I in team. Then you retire from engineering, never making the next Facebook or revolutionary Operating System, instead going onto lead the next generation stars to the promised land even though you were never an individual superstar during your career (see Steve Kerr for reference).

Update: also Rodman talked Kim Il down from nuclear disaster, so there is plenty of opportunity to stay relevant as your career progresses
From some quick googling it looks to me like Germany isn't big on decriminalisation because they're already most of the way there:

Is it fair to call it an k8s API server proxy?
Indeed. Using plain structs one can't just add a single field with a reasonable default and still be backward compatible - which is a very very common case in API design.

You could add completely new revision of the API. But having to maintain it - typically additionally to the old revision since both sides might not updateable in atomic fashion - is a lot of extra work.

Serialization which allows to add and remove fields in a backward compatible fashion is a mandatory requirement for any bigger sized project for me. If you need super high performance maybe use Flatbuffers or Cap'N'Proto instead of Protobuf/JSON/CBOR - but I really wouldn't recommend to go for plain structs.

> “The volatile keyword was devised to prevent compiler optimizations that might render code incorrect in the presence of certain asynchronous events.”

Hardware interrupts and UNIX signals are the asynchronous events in question, and C's volatile is still useful in those contexts, where there is only a single thread of execution.

Thanks for posting this question and to those who answered with advice. This is something I've been struggling with recently, despite others probably facing the same envy when looking at my life.

I decided to compile some of my favourite learnings from this thread:

1) Jealousy comes from a scarcity mindset. Use this as awareness and fuel to improve.

2) Never compare yourself to someone across a single domain. Things must be analyzed in the context of their lives, including what they've chosen to give up.

3) Outward success != happiness. This is particularly important in the age of social media, when people post the best 10% of their lives. Consistent happiness > sporadic highs.

4) Assess whether you'd actually want to do what that person does, not just be perceived as they are.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need to know differential calculus to write a compiler, and what does it have to do with lambda calculus? Learning it is a great thing to do, and it will certainly help you in other ways. But that kind of programming usually has little in common with the "mathematical analysis" kind of calculus (unless you're specifically interested in differentiable programming, which is actually kind of big these days). Anyway, happy studies!
Google's offers a bit more than "a search engine and Youtube." They also have Android, Maps, Drive, Chrome, Photos, Cloud, and hardware (Nest, Pixel, Chromebooks).
Just my opinion:

In my experience, when people say drugs they think of cannabis, but cannabis was never the major problem in Portugal.

Our problem was heroin. I think no country will legalize heroin, at least not in the short/medium term.

This is clearly working, one of the major entrypoints of heavy drugs in Europe (Casal Ventoso in Lisbon) is almost clean of problems, there are still heavy drug users of course, but most of the associated violence disappeared.

Even portuguese people's mindset shifted from "junkies" to "people that need help".

So even if you consider a "halfway there" because you're thinking about legalization, this is still working and it's a good middle term to help society shift their mentality.

Disclaimer: I'm talking from my experience as a Portuguese person, not hard numbers. I remember walking in my hometown parks (which is a very small city) and see syringes and drug users everywhere when I was a kid. This doesn't happen anymore.
Seriously, after seeing all the spyware "analytics" they tie in to Windows 10, I wouldn't trust anything from Microsoft to be on my phone. Google is also pretty invasive, but at least they're not malicious.

* Is your business managing hardware and data centers? No, so you use 3rd party hosting.

* Is your business developing and maintaing a general-purpose web framework? No, so you pick one off the shelf.

Once you have your product, have proven your market and have a healthy customer base you can start thinking about optimizing your verticals.

* Maybe your cloud hosting bill is enormous because of your workload and it turns out that colocating at a local data center will be a lot cheaper so you migrate.

* Maybe you realize that none of the current web frameworks make your devs feel productive and they keep having to fight the tooling to accomplish what they want. If you find that you're carrying a lot of patches for your framework maybe it's worth your time to have someone working full-time to upstream them. If you think it's completely lost then it might be worth it to hire a team to work on building a new one.
Because Portugal doesn't have countries like Mexico bordering it that will use the legal drug trade to further fund cartel violence and control over the country. Corruption is already so rampant, they need to fix their problems before we should ever think about legalizing all drugs.

We already have an Opioid crises in the US..and this is with legal drugs. Lawmakers are already starting to blame the legal drug dealers and creators for getting people addicted.

If drugs are legalized, a person shouldn't be able to sue the dealer or creator. In the US, it seems like the attitude is "my body, my choice". Until that choice has negative consequences and then the person with the biggest wallet is sued for damages.

I don't really see happening in Portugal.

There are two components here. The obvious one is the hurt ego which can lead to the sentiments you mention. The less obvious is understanding that you can only control your own destiny.

On the second, suggest trying to figure out what skill(s) the other person has that enabled them to achieve that which you are surprised (it didn't just happen by magic). Is it technical? Personal interaction? Networking? Then consider if that may be something you can/should work to improve.

On the ego issue - There was a point in my life when I was a very angry person, apt to bitterness and tirades. I strongly encourage reading a book or two on chan/zen. You need not become a buddhist to benefit from their philosophical teachings and you don't need to meditate every day. But I do think you can become small 'e' enlightened and really improve how you view and interact with others and the ups and downs of daily life.

Deconstruction. The ability to break something down into its smallest parts, and understand how the relationship of those parts makes something tick, will teach you how it works. It also them gives you the ability to innovate, as when you put the parts back together, you can do so in new ways.

Agreed, I think the parent comment was implying that those few services are making a disproportionate amount of the company's revenue compared to what most employees are working on
From what I hear (as someone now living in rural Portugal), a turning point came when most of the electorate knew someone suffering from a drug addiction. Be it a family member, partner, or friend - there came a point when the majority of people could not only see the problems caused by the epidemic, but could also empathise with those with addictions.

As a result of this understanding/empathy, it was possible to pass this legislation.

I see parallels with the legalisation of same-sex marriage. I saw somewhere that there is a correlation between support of same-sex marriage and actually knowing that a family member or friend is LQBTQ.

It seems to me that once people can empathise on a personal level, new approaches become acceptable (/ enter the Overton Window).

How this relates to the opioid crisis in the USA I do not know. I’ll leave someone else with more familiarity with the situation to pontificate on that.
> Interestingly, they reference a statement from 1996 which is no longer the current position.

They reference both current and historical statements, I assume on purpose to show how the position has evolved. For the case of Australia, the newest statement is on top, and the statements are clearly dated, so there is no room to confuse a newer one with an older one.

It takes very motivated reasoning to conclude they are biased just because they present a historical timeline.
But now we’re just playing semantics.

For most intents and purposes, the difference between legal and fully decriminalized is not significant.

The parent’s point is that there are many parties with an interest in drugs being criminalized, which explains why the world has not copied Portugal’s decriminalization model.
