I am of a similar mindset. My family has owned a small lake house in (very) rural Maine for close to thirty years. My parents have spent a small fortune to maintain and upgrade the property over the years.

While I am incredibly grateful for the summers spent there as a child, the burden of ownership from a financial and time point of view had major consequences over the years. Because this property put such a strain on finances, it put my father through incredible strain at work. His health paid the price. My mother also had to weather the strain of raising three boys and working full-time to help ends meet. And because of ownership and these hardships, going to the lake became a requirement for every vacation we took. Even when we moved twelve hours away.

I've carried this lesson with me for many years now. When the temptation has struck to make a big purchase like this, I remind myself that often our possessions end up owning us. You can rent practically anything you want nowadays, and in doing so do not need to face all of the hidden financial and personal costs associated with ownership.
45 years from now, $2.1M adjusted for inflation (3%) is $533K. A lot of these compound interest calculators don't show you the values adjusted for inflation. It sounds great when you get 21x your investment. 5x doesn't sound as great, but it's more realistic.
Originals are often promoted, and maybe I'm using the wrong acronym with "PPV", but if you click on anything that doesn't have a tiny "prime" ribbon in the corner, you'll get a screen asking you if you really want to spend $3.99 or whatever. Slight annoyance, but then again I have bought these before when they did something manipulative like offering 8 of the 9 available seasons of a show for "prime" viewing... Also sometimes you just want to see something now instead of waiting a year or going to a theater.
Indeed, economics require competition, which only happened thanks to AMD x64 alternative.
College doesn't make someone smart. College doesn't make someone choose to be productive. The decisions that lead to being smart and productive start early in childhood. Unfortunately, dollars spent on early education don't seem to have much of a correlation with success later in life.
I've heard that too.

And yet when the boat is underway on a good day, their hands on the wheel... I have yet to catch a boat owner without a smile on their face.
There is also another aspect to the correlation-causation argument. The kids in college are presumably the smart ones in the cohort. We expect them to have much better outcomes than the rest based on intelligence even without getting a degree.
The glass bottle plant in my home town in the 60's did melt them down. Back then you could get the deposit back by taking the bottle into the store. And the plant had tours which showed the recycling operation to us school kids.

This doesn't mean that it makes economic sense to do the same thing 50 years on.
Taking your comment to its logical conclusion, then, no one should become an electrician. Too dangerous. Low (relative to a degree) pay.

Well, who then is going to fulfill this necessary role?
And people with extreme viewpoints usually feel that way because they have some very strong belief system, like the idea that human life should take precedence over private property, or the idea that taxation is theft. If you start with one of those assumptions, then it pushes you pretty strongly to one pole or another.

Often times people like that do think for themselves. They just think differently than you do.
The Maracaibo Beacon
Yes, this. Same background, similar story (I went into tech strategy consulting instead).

The knowledge and ability to do tech work is great, but many jobs require that AND some other skill set (sales, research, communication, people management, etc). Those jobs also tend to be very well paid.
I find features like this to be useful as well - as long as I've opted-in. This is not a "sane default" - this is telemetry enabled out-of-box which is something that I'm vehemently against with Linux.
The authority of patents and license agreements that Intel had with AMD, partially forced by a court agreement, without them x64 would never happened in a legal way.

Intel 80x86 architecture was successfully to 16 and then 32 bits, by Intel.
The fuss seems to be about motd phoning home. Disabling it is trivial, as you noted in your blog post.

The remaining bits likely come from Debian. If you believe it's a bug, have you tried reporting one?
You're arguing for an exception to the rule rather than this being in conformity with the rule, as kick is doing.
Tesla gets $1.29B loan from Chinese banks for its Shanghai car plant
The best work I've done has sort of iterated between design and coding, with minor and major swings between. They say that complex systems that work invariably evolve from simple systems that work, and I believe it.
I think this is the generally accepted and obvious view, but there seems to be a push from several popular personalities to virtue signal against it in the name of better working conditions. In the process they are accusing startup founders of abusing their workforce if they mention such an idea as working a little extra to get ahead.
By all the numbers I've seen, that's not really the case. For one example, according to the Congressional Research Service[1], inflation-adjusted wages for the bottom 10% of earners have been stagnant since the start of the 1980s, and inflation-adjusted wages for the bottom 50% have been nearly stagnant, with small gains that consist almost entirely of women's income getting closer to parity with men's.

Don't try to copy a closed-source project. Instead, invent something completely new (something that's 10x better than what it might "replace"), and make it open-source.
I've never seen perpendicular parking outside of a parking lot. one immediate issue is that many vehicles will not have a sharp enough turning radius to make a right angle turn from a single width traffic lane into the space. they will have to make a multiple-point turn and/or cross into the far lane (possibly with opposing traffic) to get into the space. I can't imagine how this wouldn't be a huge obstruction every time someone parked something larger than a honda fit.

Fresh RSS is my favorite. It is self hosted and has apps for mobile.
> Whereas an accidental moderate's opinions will be scattered over a broad range, but will, like those of the intentional moderate, average to about 50.

This is only the case if left and right are equally right and wrong, which is unlikely to be the case. The average place of an accidental moderate could be anywhere, even to the left of the left or the right of right right.
This can also be predicted in terms of realpolitik. If the power of nations tends to consolidate along predictable lines, then the political question at any moment is reduced to a left-right "rate of reform" along each axis, with the furthest right positions being near-zero rates of change, but all viable positions serving the purpose of ensuring power for the stakeholders. This makes the right tend to automatically converge onto a mythologized moment in the past where their power is greatest - rights of kings, supremacy myths, and so on, while the left goes in a spectrum of directions but must ultimately form a singular coalition in order to gain power. Thus the prevailing tendency of left-right politics is also one of leaps forward from the left and gradual slides back from the right as the coalition breaks down. The new consensus is different from the old, but it's also typically not the most ideologically left one, since it emerges to compromise with the present realities, and the more radical you go, the more it resembles blood-in-the-streets revolution, which is a huge roll of the dice.

The developed world as a whole seems to be approaching one of those "great leap" moments today as more and more issues have fallen into partisan extremism, motivating the search for a new consensus.
Yeah, what left in the US? They have no idea what "left" is...
Yes, cell phones or gadgets are making people isolated instead of making them more social. Keeping gadgets away from us will make us more creative and perform batter. Would like to experiment with me as well.

RSS support is going to keep on going downhill unless someone builds a more mainstream RSS experience. Most of the commercial options are focused on power users. So you have this negative cycle of sites dropping support, readers focusing on power users, regular users not using RSS -> continue the cycle.
I'm at a unicorn in the bay area, and I'd say it's under 45. It depends on the day, and I occasionally check on work in the evening, but that's rare. My hours in the office are about 45, but that includes breakfast and a long lunch.

I've also been pleasantly surprised about the unlimited vacation. I started late in the year, and the company isn't really busy near Christmas. But I've already taken a decent amount of vacation.
wow; if you check the post history you are right. and they all end up [dead].

maybe /u/dang will be by later if enough of us flag it, and can simply close the account.
1. Have a dedicated area that you only perform work.

Don’t use kitchen table. It’s good for your mental health to have a dedicated area where you only work and when you’re not “at work” - don’t use that area.

2. Get dressed for “work”, including shoes.

Don’t make you’re comfortable as if you just rolled out of bed and wearing sleep clothes. Get up. Get dressed. Putting on shoes is important. It tricks your mind into thinking your not “at home”.

3. Treat your working time as work.

Just because you’re home, don’t go get the mail. Take out the quick trash. Or other small errands around the house.

You’re work time should be for work. And just because you’re at home, don’t let others (spouse) trick you into doing house hold tasks.

4. Remove distractions.

If you like to game during the day, literally disconnect your Xbox during working hours.

5. Leave for lunch.

You can very easily get cabin fever by staying at home all day and night. Go outside for lunch. Even if you just pack your lunch. It’s important to movement and to get outside.

6. Establish a strong social outlet.

Most people don’t realize that working from home is incredibly lonely. It’s easy to get depressed. Find an outlet to talk to people.
Exchange. Imap and friends don't provide the seamless functionality that Exchange does. Contacts, calendar, permission sharing, group message folders. You just can't get close. I love OSS, but I have to recommend Exchange because their is no viable alternative.

My sister and I basically copied what our parents did. I got a degree in engineering like my dad (but pivoted to data science), and my sister got a degree in elementary education like my mom. She works much harder than me but earns significantly less and frequently comments about how massive of a mistake it was to go into teaching.

I'm not really sure what the lesson is here other than that the world isn't fair. From my perspective, my sister is generating much more value for the world than I am, and yet all of her efforts result in very little reward.

I'm mixed on what to tell my future children. I want them to do what they love (or what they feel is important), but that may result in a very difficult future financially. I suppose I'll just try to make the trade-offs in career choices as clear as possible and hope they make decisions they won't regret later.

Video editing.

There’s Kdenlive and OpenShot that are maybe the most well-established, but they we’re both very buggy the last time I dealt with them, and they’re nowhere near featureful as what’s available commercially.

I think we could benefit from a well-know MovieMaker equivalent. Something that isn’t featureful, but is reliable (read: doesn’t crash) and intuitive.
I've seen too many people happy about overtime... I dunno, I worked 12 hour days for weeks and it was hell. Doing something on the side, anything that makes some extra cash, seems better than straight up overtime.

The licensed electricians I know make far more than degree holders, outside of comp engineers/doctors/MBA from select schools. For the vast majority of non selective schools and non rigorous degrees, an electrician should easily outearn them.

Electrician pay will also continue to rise quite a bit over the next decade. I already pay far more every year than the year before, if I can even book a decent electrician.
The autoplaying of the thumbnail thing has me flitting around in the UI so it doesn't trigger, because I think not-as-worse when I am flitting compared to when I am trying to focus on something and the video is blaring.

I almost feel like there should be an ADA lawsuit against the top streaming video purveyors to have a low tech distraction free consistent interface. Just give me the full catalog in XML format or SQLite, I'll do the rest.
The CMB clearly shows the blotchy nature of the mass distribution.
Yeah the smart money has really gone into batteries because that's where all the "secret" sauce is. Induction motors are pretty well known at this point. There are companies working on better motors but the expected ROI is rather low and the expected effect on the car overall is low. Advances in batteries in terms of weight or density would be very dramatic because most electric cars are designed around the battery pack.
let's see what happens if he starts today all over again. He forgot to mention the most important thing, that he was at the right place and right time. No matter how you come up with a 1000x better Shopify today, you most probably won't go anywhere. Many clunky business projects that were started with the rise of social media (around 2004-2013) made their owners kings ONLY because they were at the right place and time. The free ride is over. His argument is mostly bullshit for anyone starting today, the internet is much more centralized and you can't go viral unless you spend a fortune assuming having a superior product. It's a billion times harder today to succeed with a great product today than with a barely average one 15 years ago.
For me, the Netflix user interface is a horrible experience that blocks me from finding the series I want to see.

- I want vertical browsing
- I want to be able to remove items from the list, mark them "not interested"

Maybe some people prefer this layout. Fine! Make it optional. Give us the "pro" user interface as an option in the menu. My bet is all Netflix programmers want one. I can't imagine that there is one Netflix programmer who thinks this interface is how they would make it. This interface screams "marketing". Fuck those guys.
It's gross because creativity is one of the fundamental properties of being human. Characterizing specific vocations or professional domains as creative or non-creative, regardless of how the industry may have boxed in the term, imbues distinct capability castes to the practitioners.

> The researchers performed classical behavioral training on mice, some of which had been given antibiotics to dramatically diminish their microbiomes and some of which had been raised in isolation so that they had no microbiome at all.

As someone who is currently on antibiotics, I wonder what effect different antibiotics have on human brains. It would probably not be too hard to setup a similar study, antibiotics are currently thought to be mostly harmless AFAIK.
In what concerns lack of memory corruption and UB features, much better.

>I was reading about how back in the day original coffee houses were a meeting place for socialites and thinkers alike to share ideas.

Some still are in Europe at least. But they're closing down here as victims of modern lifestyles. We had (until the 80s) 4-5 cafes here where everybody who was everybody in culture frequented -- including different generations (20+ to 70+ year old people).

Some problems:

1) real estate prices in city center makes it impossible to keep renting for such a purpose or (if the cafe owner also owns the building) more profitable to sell the place and have it be made into a clothes shop or similar.

2) rising rents or (in other cases) deterioration of city centers, means that many intellectuals, playwrights, musicians, writers, academics, etc chose to move in other neighbours, which makes it more difficult (especially with added traffic) to frequent the same city center cafe anymore.

3) some owners just die and their kids are either clueless and turn the place into some "trendy" BS losing the clientele, or want to sell it and move on, or they simply don't have kids to pass it on, and nobody gets the legacy they've created (though sometimes new people step it who respect the original vision -- sometimes even after a few years of the shop being closed).
depends on the state
Yep, exactly.

I went down this "trades are great!" rabbit hole a while ago because I had a cousin who had a friend telling him: "You can be making 6 figures in 5 years as an electrician!" I was surprised when I found out his buddy didn't have a bridge to sell him as well.

Your career is not just about money earned. It is about the lifestyle. It is about your physical health over a long period of time. It is about your chance for advancement. It is about what you are going to be doing day-to-day.
I've heard both of those, but as allusions to marriage.
I'm going to probably seem stupid here. I don't understand why Netflix should be obsessed with how long people stream. I keep seeing this metric and I don't get it for something subscription based. I have Netflix, I have no intention of getting rid of it but I do not watch it that much. It's not ad supported, so if they have my subscription isn't that enough? Who cares how long I watch?

At the current subscription cost, keeping Netflix is a negligible expense for me and I'm not wealthy. So long as they put out 3-4 interesting things to watch a year (be it originals or something licensed) I can't imagine I'd cancel. I'm not looking to fill my days and nights, just something to kill a little time here and there or unwind for an hour or so a day. Am I an outlier? Do sub numbers drop if users can't sustainably spend 4+ hours a day on their platform?
There was some significant discussion around this and the data sources that feed it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/ea0wx2/urgent_...

It seemed from the comments that the Toxmap is going away, but most/all of the data 5hat feeds it is still available. There are several other related datasets that were "retired" around the same time, and those seem to be truly gone.

What if you don't plan to start your life at 63?

I'm not planning for retirement. 63 is a long way off. There's a lot of life between now and then, indeed the majority of my life is between now and then.

These kinds of "responsible financial actions" are a bit silly imho. Invest in yourself now, and spend your time well now. College pays for itself, if you spent $100k on a decent degree I guarantee you'll earn that amount ten times over in any decent career. Aside from that, it's an experience, and that's worth some money in itself.
I don't think that's old school at all. I was really hoping Ubuntu would fall in line after NPM was pummeled for their ads.

> Intel and HP attempted to deliver what this paper advocates. They designed an entirely new processing element and compiler architecture that promised to deliver high performance with less complexity. It was called EPIC and manifested as Itanium. Billions of dollars and the best minds at the disposal of an industry wide consortium couldn't make it work; one year ago the last Itanium shipped. The market has spoken.

Because SIMD seems to be easier in practice when you actually need performance.

Every high-performance application seems to dip into explicit SIMD-parallelism: H264 / H265 encoders, GPU-based deep learning... video game shaders and raytracing, etc. etc. All of which get more performance from SIMD than VLIW / EPIC.

I think the market has spoken: if you are aiming for explicit instruction level parallelism, why not go for 32-way parallelism per clock tick (NVidia Volta or AMD RDNA architectures) instead of just 3 or 4 parallel assembly statements (aka a "bundle") that EPIC / VLIW Itanium can do?

----------

Another note: normal CPUs these days are approximately 6-way parallel. The Skylake i9-9900k can execute 6-uops per clock tick from the uop cache (ex: 2x Load instructions, 2x Additions, 1x XOR, 1x 512-bit SIMD statement). In addition to pipelines, reorder buffers, and other such tricks to "extract" more parallelism from instruction streams.

EPIC / VLIW just happens to sit in an uncomfortable spot. Its "different enough" that it requires new compiler algorithms and new ways of thinking. But its not "dramatic enough" such that it creates huge parallelism like SIMD can easily represent.

Back in the 90s and 00s, it was probably assumed that SIMD-compute was too hard to program, while traditional CPUs couldn't scale very easily.

EPIC / VLIW was wrong on both counts. OpenCL and CUDA made SIMD far easier to program, while traditional CPUs became increasingly parallel. And that is the history IMO.
>Well, isn't this exactly what people try to do when comparing these systems? Number of deaths, number of people in poverty, number of products on the shelves in stores?

Not necessarily. Qualitative models have been increasingly adopted, and most arguments from the socialist side of the debate concede that capitalism has greatly improved quantitatively measured standards of living, it is responsible for a huge range of products, and that 20th c. socialism lead to many deaths. Qualitative criticisms are the most popular today in political economy, namely, the work of Sen, Roemer, Vrousalis and others on qualitative (with some quantitative basis) concepts of "exploitation", "domination", "alienation", and "fetishism". Nevertheless, quantitative arguments are also abound, in particular debate over what classifies as "poverty", and the transformation of values to prices of production (usually formulated mathematically). The road to defining axiomitically concepts like "exploitation" still has "a million miles to go" (Veneziani and Yoshihara).

This area of criticism, in my opinion (and the opinion of Honkanen[0]), needs more quantitative reasoning, and qualitative thinking cannot simply brush aside the use of statistics, which is relevant in many (but not all) instances.

This is a purely political statement. It is pretty easy to release cars on paper.

A market for political statements has always had a pretty low entrance barrier, all you need is a good PR manager.
