I learned that the highest cost for gyms can be salaries. Not rent, equipment, power, heating, etc.
If you don't find that analogy helpful, here's a proverb instead: two wrongs don't make a right.
Unless you have the short sleep gene, it's going to be hard to be at the office at 6 AM. This means you wake up at minimum 5 AM probably earlier and would have to be sleeping at 9 PM to get 8 hours sleep, which means being in bed at 8 PM, not doable with kids.

Also, you will have the tendency, no matter how early you start, to always leave late anyway, at least that's what happened to me so I would end up getting in slightly later.

As for option 2, it's really not an option for the majority of companies. The things you need to work are on the internal LAN, you have a desktop and not a laptop, etc.

The constant interruptions either in person, by email or chat in the open space prevent from getting anything done, I used to stay later and have my most productive hours late in the evening.

Still, there was occasionally some colleague that would also stay late due to having to catch a bus or a plane and would chat all the time.

It was doable, but I always felt I was constantly living on the edge, always scrambling to get things finished in the last day of the dealine, thinking what I'm going to say on the status meeting that immediately interrupts the work at the beginning of the morning, etc.

The only thing surprising to me in these working conditions is how there are not MORE people burning out, I suspect it happens to a lot of people at least once, and then they learn to recognize the signs and leave the company before things get to that point.

But I don't think it's about taking more yoga classes, meditating or whatever, it's the working conditions and not the people.

People are getting grinded like beef chuck by these companies,
these working conditions are literally taking years out of peoples lives, and no one calls out these companies by the harm that they cause to society.

Also, a lot of the work people are so busy with is completely unnecessary and people know it. Several times I was scrambling for deadline after deadline doing super "urgent" stuff, and one day I left and I literally wasn't even replaced!
Right? How the hell are you expected to carry this thing?

But most people don't.

In order for a protocol to be successful, it must bridge that gap.

That's what we've already done, gotten 15Million monthly active users onto GUN's network ( https://github.com/amark/gun ), by focusing on value add - whether people are idealistic or don't care, they're still using it.

This is how protocols will grow. Stay true to your values, but ship value add.

Don't forget to rotate your credentials and revoke any unused applications, ladies and gentlemen.
It's pretty common for wiring diagrams, service manuals and fix it guides to be in PDF format. Sometimes you're holding broken parts in your hand and the exploded image in a PDF is linked to a part number (The part may not even have a distinct name, just a manufacturer part number) so you can order replacements.
From Google's point of view it's more like:

"Sorry, I cannot accept this bill, and since you presented counterfeit money to me once, then you are prevented for the rest of your life to enter these premises again".

I'm not saying this is right, but I think it's the more apt analogy.

I dont think its a poor solution. I have had great success keeping all of GOPATH in git. Its just easier to deploy new packges. The build machine doesn't even need internet access at this point.
I'm gonna be honest. I got the card for Form as I don't really use credit cards but always like to have one in case of an emergency. I was not disappointed. It is a beautiful card and has turned heads of every cashier have I handed it to. Getting the daily cash back notifications was genius on their part. I wouldn't be surprised if I use the card more than I thought I would solely because of the form.

I also purchased a cheap plastic sleeve to keep it in to keep it looking good.

Which Rust Combinator Should I Use?
I've had a theory for a while now that the only reason devs are so ok with working on ads is because they never see any (with pihole/ublock/hosts/etc...) and they don't know how creepy they are. On the rare occasion I have to turn off my adblocker I'm almost always amazed by how well the ads are tracking me - and that's while I'm actively trying to prevent it from tracking me!
This is exactly my point. The only way this will change is when it's profitable to do the right thing.
> "Almost always" is a term of art in probability theory, where it means p = 1 despite the existence of possible outcomes that defy it.

That's a somewhat misleading term! I much prefer "probability one".

> But I guess here you mean something else and I'm not sure what.

Read it literally. The everyday definition of "almost". In other words, "the vast majority of the time".
Imagine if that very thing happened at a grocery store. You're in a small town, no alternative, and you've got no driving licence. Would you like to starve because of no reason?

Btw, I'm not saying it's illegal. I'm saying it SHOULD be illegal.
The only actual example of the author's straw-man "Stoicism" given in the article was his own attitude as a 14 year old.
It's not the actual selling of the device the problem, it's the way you are locked in the walled garden. Let's say, you don't like the next iPhone. You want something different. Well, tough shit, you will need to find a new way to store all your photos and files since you won't be able to use those either on any other device. Same goes for anything else you might have in your iCloud.

Now, I'm not saying that you can't use other services or anything, all I'm saying is that if you put all your eggs in one basket, it becomes hard(not impossible, usually, just harder) to then move them away.
Avoiding Apple card is no guarantee that you won't run into the same problem somewhere else.

What's easier? Changing Google, or spending all of your time constantly worrying that your entire business could be disrupted or destroyed at random?

You can't look at it as one isolated event with one isolated solution; the takeaway is, "even innocuous, good-faith 'mistakes' might be enough for Google to randomly shut me down with no explanation and no recourse." There's no way to guard against that except to stop using Google.
"Using C libraries in a portable way involves a bit of work: finding the library on the system or building it if it's not available, checking if it is compatible, finding C headers and converting them to Rust modules, and giving Cargo correct linking instructions. Often every step of this is tricky..."

Adding loads of complexity (i.e. more opportunities to screw something up) for a minor gain.
> My plan now is just to save aggressively until 40 or so, then either lean FIRE...

This is the real answer to preventing burnout: focusing on getting to financial independence starting from the very first day you start your career. There is nothing more liberating and comforting than knowing you don't have to stay at your job one moment longer than you feel like it.

Granted, it's not an option for everyone because of their life circumstances, but it is for most people in the software industry.
I think an application of Hanlon's Razor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor) is applicable here. Google is in an oligopolistic position (along with Facebook) in the online ads space. Therefore, they face zero consequence for having extraordinarily poor customer service. As a result, they optimize their customer "service" to minimize work for themselves.

I ran into a very similar situation with my gas company. I'd fat-fingered my bank account number in their online form, so they weren't able to debit my account. Instead of notifying me of this problem, they simply locked my account and threatened to cut me off for non-payment. Even after I'd called the company and appealed, they still prevented me from paying with my bank account for 12 months and forced me to pay with a credit card (which incurred an additional $3.75 "convenience fee").
Yes, but as your downvotes show, it's pointless defending him in "civilized" company.

TFA quoting JBP: "patriarchy is Western civilization"

Actual JBP quote: "...the really, real radicals on the left who are opposed to the patriarchy - the patriarchy is western civilization make no mistake about it - patriarchy is just a code word for that - and governed by their neo marxist dogma and postmodern dogma they believe that it needs to be retooled right from the bottom up and that's exactly what they're doing and that makes them natural allies I would say of any other system that opposes our system"

I.e. not "western civilization exists because of patriarchy" but "when they say patriarchy they mean all of western civilization".

> Dqlite is a fast, embedded, persistent SQL database with Raft consensus that is perfect for fault-tolerant IoT and Edge devices.

Seems like, at least for embedded devices, you'd want something as small as possible so as to avoid consuming all available disk (not to say any other language will balloon it significantly or not).
Thanks!

I am almost certain I am going to need to move off of the CT log thing but I hope to onboard a few projects first[1].

But, tlogdb looks like a great starting (sent you a PR if you have a moment). I am trying to understand how all of the parts fit together at the moment particularly if I need to use Trillian or how far a direct SQL store to Spanner/CockroachDB like tlogdb implements is sufficient for awhile.

The big advantage of implementing something like tlogdb is that it becomes a URL map which means that developers don't need to publish additional metadata (at the expense of the service needing to download entire files to calculate the digests).

All of that to say thanks for all of the work on sumdb. Great starting point.

No, but if you want to prevent future incidents, it usually helps to have a more systemic view of failure. E.g. questions like: “what kind of management lead to decisions that made such misbehaviour possible?” are usually completely uninteresting for a lawyer, as they either play a legal role or not.

In real life a incident may be the emergent behaviour enabled by complex circumstances and a certain culture, all culminating in one crystalized point of failure. Think of causal chains: Managment pressures engineers and fires experienced older engineers, engineers are clearly not up to task, do something. Qualitt control might catch it but is circumvented by other managers who fake documents. The thing is not up to speck but wouldn’t have failed if the pilots... etc.

This is what I mean by systemic emergent behaviour. All of these things were wrong or wreckless, but pinning it to one cause isn’t doing reality a favour here.

Yes, "HN is full of Authoritarians" is name-calling, and the site guidelines ask you not to do that.

Generic ideological tangents are moderated on this site because they're off topic. They're off topic because they don't gratify intellectual curiosity (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Why don't they do that? Because they're tedious and predictable, and usually end up being nasty.
Pretty sure BPF originated in BSD land :)

Prior to BPF there was "Enet Packet Filter", then Ultrix Packet Filter then something under SunOS before it became BPF. BPF was created in 1990 (at Berkeley) which was widely BSD oriented.

Do you keep the card separate from your wallet (e.g. in a pocket or something)?

I agree the card looks amazing, it's in stark contrast to the vibrant colors on my other cards. It just doesn't work well with my small leather card case or my iPhone card case (the latter mostly because I can't charge wirelessly).
At least there's a reason AND a felony. If a customer steals at my restaurant, that's a good reason to deny him service forever. But I'll probably contact police about it as well.

My personal house that I lived in was not a time suck -- it was a waste of money. Considering that now, 16 years after I bought it and 7 years after I did a "strategic default", it's only worth $7000 more than it was after I bought it.

Now the two rental properties I owned at the time -- those were time and money sucks.

On the other hand, walking away from three houses and five mortgages, and buying a new house in a better neighborhood less than four years later was one of the smartest things I've ever done.

Most adults who didn't smoke as teens never pick up the habit. Smoking lives on through peer pressure - something that matters less and less as a person matures.

It isn't shown as "cool" in movies like it used to be, so adults who are "set in their ways" are lacking most of the remaining peer pressure tactics that typically works for adults.

Wait for vape scenes in the movies. You can be reasonably sure there's a lobby group working towards it. How about a "FBE Teens try different healthful Vape Flavours"?
> So what is a “fair” amount that people should earn?

I reject both the concept and it's relevance; no marginal tax rate below 100% is an income ceiling, and setting marginal tax rates at particular levels neither requires nor implies that a single such “fair” amount exists.

> I bet the people living in the Midwest would love to tax the “liberal west coast elite” living in Silicon Valley 90%

I bet most of the low income population of the West Coast (and Bay Area in particular) would like that—and benefit from it, in terms of effects on local cost of living—more than anyone in the Midwest.

> Should 90% start at $150K? $200K?

I didn't actually endorse a 90% marginal rate for federal income tax; disagreeing with a particular argument against a thing isn't endorsing it.

If I were to propose rewriting marginal rates, I'd probably do something like drop the 32% bracket down to start at about the 90th individual income percentile (instead of about the 95th, where it is currently), and drop the existing higher brackets in favor of adding additional +8% brackets at the 95th, 97th, 98th, and 99th percentiles, topping out at a 64% rate.

But more important, I'd tax capital gains as normal income, with options for both advance recognition and deferment to handle irregular streams (whether from capital events or otherwise.)

Calculus Without Limits (1981)
Interested to hear about what your issues with Ansible were. It's been a game changer for us over the past couple years. Manual processes that used to take an engineer a week to do manually are done in 20 minutes and correctly every time.
When you've resources, you realize how the world is gynocentric (as some would say). A lot of what men do, is for impressing opposite sex (to compete for them, acquiring wealth gives you ability to go after whoever you want, think Bezos). And now if you make all efforts but do not get the result, you become sad and depressed. You've got resources, why you've to feel bad?

Stoicism, is red pill philosophy, which helps us see things exactly as they are without clouding our mind with wishful thinking or story from some romantic movie.

It liberates you, stop chasing women, go your own way, work on interesting things, don't be sad when things fall apart, don't give anyone much importance in your life - it liberates you from your sufferings. It's called "not living in fake world, created by your imagination of how good people are or how good opposite sex is or whatever wishful thinking".

We know, love as portrayed in books or movies is very hard to find or might be a myth.

Let's have a thought experiment. What if i stop giving attention to women? What if I value myself more? What if I don't open doors for a woman, what if I don't pull the chair for her. What if I don't pay her bills? Suddenly, you find yourself making zero effort for opposite sex and your expectations from them go down. And you no longer feel sad because your expectations are fulfilled as you've none.

Is it a toxic way of thinking? I don't think so, it shields me from major disappointments and setbacks which might end up in depression/addiction of some kind.

Yes, now opposite sex which is used to recieving nice things from me, might see this way of thinking as toxic as it basically ends their supply but increasing my contentment with life.

You can use this philosophy to shield you from anything and everything. Your friend died? No problem! It's raining and there is hole in your roof? Doesn't matter. But I specially use it to shield myself from opposite sex because that's where I've got major disappointments in life and I was on verge of collapse, I am now lot better!

Don't just downvote, help me understand where am I wrong? I come here to learn.
Except it's in no sense of the word "counterfeit", right? So the analogy falls apart pretty hard for me. It's more like that old Taco Bell $2 bill story.
I wasted the first 8 years of my life after college not knowing what to do professionally and being too depressed to actually get anything done in the meantime.

I also used to wasted time being addicted to the 24/7 news, which not only made subtly upset all day long, but actually made me less informed because the news puts spin on everything and winds up getting almost every key fact wrong in the long run.

I wasted time caring about memes and internet culture, but it did teach me about how ephemeral and quick-changing culture is. Everything is fashion and I know that better now.

Other than that, video games make me happy, my coding forays have made me smarter, my unused accounting degree has made me financially responsible and knowlegable, reddit and hacker news have taught me cued into new things and connected me to people from across the globe.
For all the starry-eyed love that math gets here, I’m glad it’s (currently) 2 out of the top 3 voted responses. Throughout a so far 20 year career in tech spanning device drivers, 3D graphics, video, maps, and location/GPS, the highest math I’ve really had to apply was high school trigonometry and some matrix math. I’m sure some programmers use graph theory and differential equations all the time, but they’re probably not plumbing one API to another or copying JSON around all day like the rest of us do.

> I think if I'd stuck to computer science, I would have graduated a stronger programmer

I took the minimum math needed to graduate with a comp eng undergrad degree (which imho was still way too much) and I agree with you, I’m probably a better general purpose programmer for it.
