Weird, I thought I was overtly insinuating that. It did happen the week after a 4+ year serious relationship ended, after all.
I think that's usually used to describe group dynamics, but my model here has less to do with that and more to do with having to lower the bar for each individual, because scaling hiring massively (in an increasingly competitive labor market) is difficult without lowering standards.
By the way, any late career change suggestions for a software engineer who's got some money saved up and is sick of tech? Because, fuck.

The person I seek advice from said radical departures without plans are high risk. Your fan interest in korean baking techniques of the 1750s era are unlikely to scale to a dayjob.

But, If you have a passion which gives evidence of up-scaling potential, its still worth exploring.

He also said if you treat a long working life as an oil tanker of momentum, the easiest course changes are the small slow ones: reversing course on a a full speed tanker takes kilometers. Reversing course on a career takes years. Moving it marginally, by some small but achievable amount, is both simpler and safer.

So, how about exploring a move from the engineering side to some other side, but still exploiting software? or, ceasing software, but staying inside the discipline of engineering? Or applying your software engineering praxis, to some other field which you have less skill in, but strong interest?

Those Korean 1760 bakers need some AWESOME code, to make the yeast work in a modern hot oven...
Unlike SF, SJ is actually height-limited due to the airport. (Not that's it's fully built right now)
Terrible analogy. Someone making a campfire, like humans did for thousands of years, isn't doing something remotely as bad as committing murder.

The analogy only works if what a single person is doing is inconsequential if they are the only ones doing it. Murder certainly does not belong there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Murder isn't a good example of it.
In the example you have, `ps` takes way too long.
We literally have hundreds of examples of "take away regulations" not working.

We have hundreds of examples of "come down on landlords like hawks and make them suffer" working.

Stop it. Do some research.
yep - using the pg_trgrm extension.

My knowledge of the general case is pretty old. But in my experience it depends. For most campus newspapers, if it's not advertising (or subscriptions?--is that a thing any longer?) then that means they're supported by the university which creates its own issues. Some are supported through donations but I'm pretty sure that's not the norm.
Definitely white collar, but not all tech companies.
Real estate, call centers, then operations/support for tech companies moving into data management and DBA work.

I guess in retrospect the call center stuff was somewhat blue collar, but its really knowledge and process work instead of making things or buildings things.
1) I'm a software engineer, have a good foundation in mathematics and physics. I could use a refresher on the electrical engineering area of physics though.

2) What I want to do - for starters, small hobbyist projects like playing with sensors, displays, etc. My end goal is to be able to design cool IoT projects, such as smart security cameras, and sell them.

3) I can dedicate 1-2 hours per day. I don't expect to have the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree any time soon, but am happy with any kind of pace.
I disagree that slavery isn't something this generation can't make amends for. As the 1619 project has shown, the legacy of slavery on capitalism in America is broad and extreme.

> people don’t want to pay for content

Most “content” isn’t worth paying for. Google’s phrasing about publishers not being able to pay to generate content made me think, “Yay, no content mills!”

Separately, people with something to say like to reach audiences. In the distant past, it was called “pamphleteering”.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamphleteer

There was a web before banner ads. The content came from somewhere...
Same. At several companies I've been at we've used or investigated Datadog. One place accidentally spun up a bunch of EMR nodes on AWS for a single run (less than 1 hour), to which we got charged their going rate ($15/mo?) for every instance - even though they were only up for an hour. DD refused to reverse this, though eventually did help up make sure those nodes got excluded going forward ... gee thanks. $15/hr/node for monitoring is too rich for my blood.

Most recently it was looked at to help monitor a small Kubernetes test cluster. 3 nodes. Now the base rate of $18/mo is just fine... except now they charge $1/mo/container past 10 containers per host. Because K8s (depending on how you install it) runs a bunch of little containers handling various back end things, you might not deploy anything to the cluster and still be WAY over that 10 container limit. In our case it came out to like $200/mo to monitor 3 nodes - that were no where near fully loaded.

They've got a great product but their billing just has not ever really made sense. While I haven't used them, Wavefront makes a lot more sense - pay per metric. Got a bunch of containers that don't need monitoring, then don't send metrics (or send them infrequently). Easy.
I agree it's great, I really like it. Seems like the smarter bots don't disconnect and now they talk in order to get the pitch transcribed with the hopes you'll pick up.
I feel like the climate is so mild or hot & dry in the bay that houses can get away with being badly made and old here way more than other places of the world.
I don't think your statements are as self evident as you think they are. You are personally attacking the poster above you, and then just spinning words around to make a point you agree with. We understand you agree with yourself; would you care to help us try and agree with you?

Personally, I agree with your statements. I do not see the issue that you see with wanting all people to be comfortable in their workplace. James Damore outright stated that he believes that women are genetically inferior at the job he does. I don't grasp how people miss how destructive that is.
>Yes it’ll be painful for a couple of years, but when all the people who can’t afford to work at the Starbucks leave the city

But, that's not how reality works. Instead those people end up working two, maybe three jobs, cohabitating with multiple people and just end up having their quality of life continue to deteriorate. Leaving the city's not necessarily an option.
Take a look at Reaction Commerce[0]. They are pitching themselves as an open-source Shopify competitor which you can host on your servers.

I’m still only a few pages in. I don’t have the chance to read it all right now, but I will revisit this tomorrow morning. Here are my early thoughts. Disclaimer: I am an advocate of fusion and am moving into the field (professional electrical engineering support of an academic project).

We need to walk before we can run. D+T fusion is viable. Hull maintenance is a solvable problem. Economic studies come after we can walk. Similarly, actually realizable designs that can reach Lawson performance necessary for p+B11 won’t come before designs that can reach D+T are made.

There are compelling narratives around funding, but ultimately it seems they are simultaneously overly optimistic about our technical advancement and overly jaded about future prospects.

It’s important to note that there is no difference in a reactor design capable of different fusion fuels, other than its Lawson performance. You can fuse D+T just the same as p+B11 if your device is capable of p+B11. There is not magical jump in performance we can make. So why skip over D+T if we need to go through it anyway? If D+T is found to truly not be economically viable (which sounds inherently flawed, since prices go down as technology becomes more advanced) then we could still pursue confinement devices in the hopes of reaching more advanced fuels.
I might be drinking the amazon koolaid but Shopify’s online service and physical product distribution can’t even come close to what amazon has developed. They’re not a real threat. Amazon is really at least 15 years ahead in distribution and operations. We’re using robotics to automate a ton of processes. Jeff Wilke revolutionized the fulfillment centers. Shopify’s platform mainly sells niche things at low throughputs. Amazon is about how can we sell more in the same amount of time so we can continue lowering prices to get more customers and keep selling more.
Given advantages over electron etc - perhaps open sourcing it with a foundation model and commercial services for those wanting support. In many respects I can see Sciter being used by corporations in a similar wayt o sqlite - e.g. if it was open source there are a number of corporations who may be interested in commercially supported services and project sponsorship
This is like saying you want people to know you use PGP or encryption implying that those who use such tech have something to hide. I see no problem in anyone knowing that I use Signal. If anything it communicates that I'm serious about privacy and security.

That is some impressive insight to the behavior of the lib. Have you ran into that before and knew it was an easy thing to get rid of?

I’m always impressed when people show up with fixes like this (that I wouldn’t even know to look for).
Yep, I did this once with "Credit card services" and after about 20 minutes, I had gotten all the way to level 3. Level 2 was a hapless individual, but level 3 was a smooth talking ahole that was amazingly adept at manipulation. When I hung up he immediately called back and I told him I had been called dozens of times by this scam and this was my way of getting back at him. Click. 20 seconds later my phone rings and a person is screaming at me, telling me he wants off the list, etc, etc.

I unhooked my phone and called AT&T and tried to report it. They tried to get me to go through some absurd process and I dropped it.
I fully agree with you.

I don't find flirting to be fun. I completely disagree about it being "built in" to our species. I feel that the phrase "up your game" as a strong insult in this context: I don't believe dating should be gamed; I also believe that those who do game dating are among the worst people I've met. That doesn't mean I live an algorithmic life.
UNIX philosophy. You mean the UNIX philosophy.
Consume less, create more (or produce more)...and if everyone would adhere to this we'd have another 1929 crisis. Remember those pictures of milk thrown out in the field in order to keep its price up? Yeah, that is what happened back then. Too much production and not enough consumption.
Neither "consume lee, create more" nor "consume more, create less" are good. One leads to economic crisis, the other leads to famine. The sweet spot is 50/50, create exactly as much as is consumed. Currently we have achieved this, but with the caveat of West being the consumer and East the producer, hence the current trade war.
I would personally recommend ubuntu. It's also free and unlikely to get viruses. Plus, In my experience from helping the elderly and other computer illiterates get connected, it often has a much gentler learning curve.The main hurdle then would be to find the cheap hardware with decent compatibility (perhaps a cheap 2 in 1).

Also, you should consider approaching canonical about sponsorship. Considering their relationship with amazon there has to be some funding to be found there.
What app do you use to keep notes?
Nah, it's tempting for China but they are smarter than that. Other countries would quickly ramp up, and will also think twice about relying on critical imports from China, as China would have shown their willingness to cut their nose to spite the face. It would unite Americans behind Trump as China would be viewed as a bad actor acting to hurt Americans. The response is not proportional and it would hurt local jobs while helping competition from other countries to ramp up.
As a renter you can look for a more energy efficient space.

If your in-law unit was built without permits (which seems likely since it's apparently below-standard for insulation), you can probably get out of your lease early if you wanted to.

Putting in more insulation doesn't require a full teardown, but it's not cheap if you had to, say, build false walls to add insulation.
You wouldn't know of any reason to believe that the NSA had access to google traffic back when they did if Snowden didn't allow you to know. Why choose to assume they don't rather than do?
Solar panels became cheap just in time.
I don’t have any way of comparing this beyond anecdotally but... I’ve dated one only person and for many years.

I’ve never had the chance or reason to use online dating. But I feel like most of my friends who do enter committed relationships from online dating don’t seem to trust each other very much even after a significant chunk of time and it seems weird to me. Curious if this resonates.
Ok, so @itcrowd has some very good questions that the answers will definitely guide the resources recommended to you. However, it may be difficult to answer as a thoughtful and complete answer to each question, for you, will depend on you knowing some stuff already.

So on that note, a great place for you to start figuring out what you want to do with EE is to watch Dave Jones over on the EEVBlog YT channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a-jcaTn170), then go and join the EEVBlog forum.

People are less complaining about OOP itself and complaining about inheritance and polymorphism. If you've spent any time trying to figure out which method is called by a python object then you'd generally agree.
I like it, except the ambiguity with regard to existing tools, such as 'head' and 'tail'...
Can you explain why parsing JSON can't be secure or stable?
Ages ago, I wrote and maintained some Windows open source stuff. It wasn't GPL, but it was "here's the source code, and a binary version, have fun!". I had a little niche of a certain type of tool in the Windows world, if you searched for how to do a specific thing, my tools would show up.

Most of it included my real name and email address in the executable and DLLs details tab, as well as the source code. I was the top of the little niche, and more than happy to help other developers out there. I'd help users as best as I could, but my tools were mostly geared at developers (though, users never stopped amazing me at clever unintended ways to use things)

The emails I got from this could be broken down into two categories: Actual questions about the tools, including bug reports or problems integrating it into some other project. That was about 5% of the emails I saw. The other 95% was "Program <x> stopped working! I can't find any contact anywhere expect in this one DLL, I demand you help me fix it!"

It was super disheartening, since my attempt to explain my role as someone that provided a tool or library to whoever wrote their application was responded with either "Your name is in this application, I don't care what your role is, you need to help me fix it!", or "If you didn't want to provide support, why is your email here?"

And that's, basically, how I ended up using random combinations of words on sites like this one. Maybe people with a thicker skin can deal with this crap, but I can't anymore.
"Let it get really bad so people notice" isn't even close to a solution. We all know there's a housing crisis; the solution depends on who you ask.

Some folks are going to say "let's have high affordable housing requirements in new projects." They may genuinely want lots of affordable units, or they may want to freeze housing supply and thus preserve the value of their single-family homes. Pro-tenant renter groups may not care about a "neighborhood character" argument, but they may care quite a bit about a "gentrification" argument, which is almost the same thing. Depending on what kind of YIMBY you ask, you could get someone who cares deeply about affordability, or someone who believes the market will fix everything.

All of this to say: this is a political problem about getting enough different groups with distinct interests to work together. Nobody gets a magic wand to deregulate everything, nor would it help.

If creating that coalition is something you care about, join the group the author recommended: https://yimbyaction.org/
Definitely of interest.
Also of interest would be using Sciter for embedded (but not mobile) apps. Its a natural fit for certain markets.

Are you still considering open sourcing Sciter? I personally hope so - but also know how much is involved in going down that path.
I mean doubling anything over a month is super impressive. You think you're making a dope point but you just come across as a simpleton.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems was formed out of the work presented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4

A lot has changed since 1983. The superconducting materials that CFS depends on weren't even discovered until the late 80s, and it took a very long time for that to become practical. Fast-forward to today and you can buy this stuff on Alibaba!

Dating in general is skewed towards more attractive people, whether online or not, wouldn’t you agree?
"Not to be a complete ass" ... but then proceeds to be a complete ass. People love to preface statements that they know are going to be rude.

If you need to preface a statement like that, reword it so you're being polite. The bit in question just as easily could have said "Hey, Thanks for releasing this! Do you know when the source code will be available? Thanks for all you're hard work"
> Interesting observation: This behavior seems to be culture dependent. I'd say about 90% of our over-demanding free-tier users are from the same region on the planet.

> Tokyo, Japan’s capital city, has a growing population of over 13 million people but house prices have hardly increased in twenty years. Why? Tokyo has a laissez-faire approach to land use that allows lots of building subject to only a few general regulations set nationally.
I am not a lawyer.

The role doesn't have that de facto power, but he could enact things that effectively make it the de jure law by forbidding US companies doing business with the US federal government from using anything that sources some or all of its goods and services that have a dependency on a Chinese supply chain. The anti-BDS rules that some states have is what I would consider to be the precedent here [0].

Given that the president also has frequent campaign rallies, he can persuade voters to boycott companies that again source components from a Chinese supply chain. His official campaign baseball caps aren't made in China though some unofficial ones are sold on Amazon that come from China [1]. I guess the same would go for US flags.

And I said that my point was that this isn't about money? Or am I just going crazy?
My wife and I recently bought an Oculus Quest. It is such a fine product. I worked in the field of high end VR in the 1990s, we use SGI reality engines, expensive motion platforms, haptics, etc. The cheap commodity priced Oculus Quest is so much better.

Off topic, but after years of being critical of FB, owning an Oculus device makes me look on FB more favorably. You could accuse me of lowering my standards, and that would be fair, but I appreciate the Oculus ecosystem.

The Star Wars Vader Immortal experience for the Quest is amazing. The Quest is a new product, and I look forward to seeing what new content is made for it.
It's a bit hyperbolic. Home heating in colder areas uses significantly more energy and fossil fuels than AC in warmer areas.

Love this article!

While it's a little basic, it might be good to go over the different small sat form factors? You could talk about the different launch possibilities and general issues with each different size class.
I carry around a notebook to write down ideas or solutions that have been grinding away since the last time I sat down to code. On the computer I keep a running task list using notepad for session notes and gitlab kanban for larger tasks. I find that most of the time my session notes are enough to pick up where I left off. If I'm between tasks time to grab a new one from kanban. If an idea pops up while I'm working on something else it is vital to enter a TODO in the source and an issue in gitlab and get back to what I was working on. Gotta stay on task without going down a rabbit hole.

You just replied to a hypothetical case, with a concrete case. This makes no sense.
Except the supply here is necessarily constrained by the amount of land available to build on. You're treating this like microeconomics 101, which is a fundamentally flawed way to look at the problem.
What matters more then operations is customers. Operations just makes amazon a low cost leader and in that regard sure. But Shopify can beat Amazon through the platform of independents providing more selection and brand connection that may allow customers to be willing to pay a bit more
