Yea I really should be careful about presenting a victimhood personality, as well as in the way I perceive myself.

My intention here was to explain myself honestly and I didn't expect it to come across so strongly that way. However, I think there is middle ground here. For example, I wouldn't want to hear you tell a rape victim the same thing.

Anyways, before these things I was very successful in both career and personal pursuits, and after I wasn't. So it is important, but I will be careful about giving the perception of a victimhood mentality -- I know people dislike that -- as well as consider if I am treating myself that way, though presently I wasn't aware of this.

Do you think that figuring out vim is a good use for people who are probably time limited anyway and are trying to build useful skills?

1. Has Android's fork of Linux proven to be necessary? Linux already supported an RTOS/low-power kernel config at the time of Android's inception

2. Is it time to discard backward compatibility and transition to a mainline kernel for future versions of Android? Apple does this every few years, with great technical and user success without much of an uproar

3. Is it time for kernel devs to acknowledge the reality on closed source drivers, and standardize an interface in the mainline kernel for the same. Those who want to open source can, but those who don't find a way to retain source even today, possibly at the cost of performance (forcing code into user space). Let's just allow an LGPL interface with looking exception for well known interfaces.

4. If Linux is unwilling to acknowledge industry trends, perhaps switching to a BSD kernel should also be evaluated. Oh the things BSD could do if it had the kind of funding that Linux does

I've noticed that, too -- the way the typical FAANG salary keeps going up and up and up and up and up and up and up whenever it's quoted here. I've been in Silicon Valley since 2002, always working for tech companies, either as a technical writer or a web developer, and I have never made anywhere near the "average salary" that HN tells me I should have been making.

Even granting that I'm not very good as a salary negotiator, I suspect an awful lot of software engineers, even out here, are making around $150-200K for their base pay, and are not getting another $100K+ annually in benefits and stock options.

Learning that learning takes more than an hour, no matter the domain. You said it yourself: "A lot of what hackers do takes years of building knowledge upon knowledge". Understanding a skill takes time, energy, and discipline to improve is all you can do.

Everything else is simply spending an hour "doing something". If you keep the "something" to a smaller set of "things", then maybe you can learn something over several one hour sessions.
I find that many other sites, surprisingly, don't have anything close to the variety available for many specialty items.

I recently needed some 2 part epoxy glue in larger containers. Amazon has dozens of different brands and quantities, mostly at competitive prices.

I checked walmart.com and only found a few options from 3rd party sellers that was way overpriced. I even tried a few specialty sites. But no one else was even close. Kind of a sad state of affairs.

I've gotten burned by changing light bulbs without turning off the switch; garnering me the nickname "Uncle Fester" by my family (in my defense - the light bulb was out and I wasn't thinking) and that shit definitely hurts.

I've also been burned debugging a power supply for a GSM amplifier used in the test harnesses for a semiconductor fab (this time was carelessness, the power supply rails weren't taped off since I was probing it attempting to find a fault on the point-to-point wiring) that was powered at 240V and holy hell I do not recommend doing anything that stupid. If it doesn't have a safe way to repair, buy a new one.

Surely people care, but people are able to understand you or will try their darndest.

This ability to understand is completely missing from Danish, for example, because (I believe) of the many different vowel sounds and other pronunciation quirks - the result is if you do not speak Danish well most Danes will shut down trying to understand you. Thank God for English in that circumstance.

Indeed my teacher used to joke that the most common phrase in Danish is "Hvad siger du" (what are you saying) because it is so difficult for Danes to even correctly understand each other - a funny Norwegian video on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

My understanding previously was that black holes are hashing the universe in a way, irretrievably reducing information to a more fundamental and irreversible state, while this article implies that actually, they're merely transforming the information and we have the ability to read a map (holographic extra-dimensional information from the emitted radiation) to resequence at least some of that information.

You're not quite right. Classical Latin had a lot of things that virtually no modern language has: a fully developed passive conjugation, a fully developed conjunctive, and - the cherry on the cake - a rigorously expressed separation between phases (consecutio temporum). Latin is quite magical, and even if it was actually more crude than some of its contemporaries like Ancient Greek and Sanskrit, it's still sweeter than virtually all modern languages, some of which don't even have a past perfect tense or more than one conjunctive form.
With respect, just because you were not traumatized by a particular type of event, does not mean that someone else wasn’t traumatized by the same kind of event.

And your lack of trauma over a type of event does not give you carte blanche to trivialize the emotions and expressions of someone that was.

> Since China is a long way from the Gulf of Mexico, and has no need to sail there, I'm confident that China couldn't care less about this.

First, many Chinese flag ships sail through the Gulf of Mexico, so I think China does care.

Second, even if China didn't care, many other countries do. And the US, unlike China, respects the rights of other countries to freedom of the seas.

> The South China Sea is very important to China, and very far away from USA -- why does USA care so much about it?

First, because many US flag ships sail through the South China Sea. We trade with many countries other than China that have coastlines on that sea. You know that, right?

Second, because, just as with the Gulf of Mexico, many other countries have ships that sail through the South China Sea, and there are internationally agreed rules about international waters and freedom of the seas, which, as noted above, China does not respect the way the US does. The only way to enforce such rules is for countries that uphold them to take action against countries that do not.

> Perhaps you could also comment of USA claims over the Northern Sea Route (which lies within Russia’s Exclusive Economic Zone) ?

This case is an excellent illustration of the proper way to negotiate rules regarding freedom of the seas: to notify other countries of something you would like to see happen, and then have a diplomatic dialogue with them. As opposed to, oh, say, just asserting that a huge chunk of ocean is your territorial waters, in contravention of international law and treaties.

Also, since you mentioned Exclusive Economic Zones, you will note that the US is not saying it wants to exploit resources in this zone; it is only saying it wants it to be a transport corridor. Which, according to current international agreements, it already is everywhere outside 12 nautical miles from Russia's coast.
Could you compare mitogen to docker swarm? Also, I haven't seen it mentioned in the docs, does mitogen set up a python environment on target machines? Or does it assume target can run python?
I've seen some things on mining construction sites that'd curl your toes, too. Once I was troubleshooting a cabinet and the light changed. I looked up and there was an EWP with two guys pulling cables, about 10m directly above me. No warning, no marked drop zone, no communication. On the same site I saw a 20 ton piece of equipment get lifted into position, double lift between a gantry crane and a Franna, again no drop zone or anything, just one guy coordinating with hand signals. It worked out OK, but yikes.

How to properly wrap cables. A/V and cable techs are super anal about this and it takes just a few minutes to learn, it will change your life.

Cables should never be coiled in the same direction. It creates kinks when unwound and make it extremely likely for knots to form (ever leave your headphones in your pocket?).

If a cable isn't being installed permanently it should be "wrapped" using a technique called "over-under". Hard to describe in text, so here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpuutP6Df84

Personally I disagree with his method, what I do is do the "over" loop by placing my palm over the cable, and on the under loop, put your palm under the loop. Then when you pull the loop to your fixed hand, you always keep your palm down when laying it. Very quick way, eventually becomes fast with practice. Also useful to unroll kinks from the cable when you wrap it, and always tie the bastard off because if one end falls through you'll get knots.
Having two nodes communicate to each other when you have a cooperating third-party server (a lighthouse or discovery node) that isn't behind a nat isn't hard. That's what STUN servers and other forms of UDP hole punching accomplish.

pwnat is notable because it doesn't require having a public stun-like server, but nebula already assumes there's public servers, so traversing nat is a non-issue.

The readme says "Discovery nodes allow individual peers to find each other and optionally use UDP hole punching to establish connections from behind most firewalls or NATs".

In practice, I didn't see any code that implements it, but I didn't look too hard.

Learn how to read quarterly earnings (and other financial documents).

It's amazing how simply it is to see if a company is making money / losing money and how that'll impact your view of the world.

For instance, Uber as it is today, is going out of or dramatically changing its business. Might not see that from all the hype, might not see it from all the user, but the terms sheet doesn't quarterly earnings doesn't lie ($1B in losses quarter-over-quarter).

After I've seen an ad once, I get to make the decision whether it's relevant to me on TikTok. On Youtube, they would like you to review the ad all over again, just to see if possibly you changed your mind. In fact, I've had the same ad replayed back at me so many times that my enjoyment of the videos was ruined.

Why do I have to suffer the repeat annoyance? And even when I've skipped the same ad twelve times, why do I then have to watch the ad full length before I can continue to the video? At what point does Google treat me like an adult that can decide the relevance of content?

This is the very reason I cut the cord on Cable TV.
The example is comparing signed and unsigned chars. So 255 is casted to -1 in the comparsion. The compiler is not wrong for returning 1. Generally read left to right. The first number is a signed char so the compiler may then try to convert any types to the right of the operation to a signed value as well.

If your comparing between types make your casts explicit.

This is good I guess but it's interesting to realize that news about vscode scare me.

It's in such a good place right now. With the exception of multi-monitor support (the only real issue with Electron, in my opinion, but a big one), everything about it is wonderful to the point where I feel that it can almost only get worse from here.

So far the team has been incredible, continuously improving without making it feel bloated and slow so hopefully my fears will continue to be put to shame for years. But yeah.

Google recommends a 35mbit/sec connection for 4K Stadia streaming and they say it uses 20GB/hr of data[1]. Even at your high example of 100GB, that’s just 5 hours of streaming. I understand that the idea is to optimise for instant play but it seems silly to download enough data to cover the entire contents of the game potentially multiple times over a play through. Platforms like Steam, Battle.net, and consoles already allow developers to post staged installs where players can start playing a game before all assets have been downloaded. Stadia continues to look like a solution in search of a problem, where that solution comes with a lot of tradeoffs that I find hard to swallow. 100GB is also only 10% of 1TB, and I find it hard to come up with a concrete use for the other 900GB.
