But you asked about motive, and that's different from how I responded. I do need to get better at constrained writing, and to learn even really basic level management type writing, and while this is certainly a goal, a degree is also something I want; I... would like to do some graduate-level work, and that seems difficult without an undergrad.

Also, a degree is an important plan B... I mean, as long as I'm employed where I am, and as long as the industry doesn't change, a degree in and of itself won't help me all that much, though basic management writing might. but if industry changes, there are a lot of cases where having a degree means you are legally middle class. Right now, the pay cut I'd take working anywhere else in the world would mean I should probably just travel on vacation, but if that ever changes? a degree is almost essential to do my job for a non-US company.

It's pretty easy to just go to the kitchen where I have all that stuff though.

I'd still rather just be at home, and have to provide my own food and drinks, than on a plane being waited on.
Fun fact: The air in a plane isn't recycled. It comes from outside. The air in planes is fresher on average than your typical building.

What the air on a plane is is less dense and less humid, which has its own problems, but it's not stale.

I will give you a couple recommendations:

- Filter out "CyberCoders", "Robert Half", etc recruiting firms. These make it hard to view jobs especially when I get shown descriptions lifted from my own company's postings.

- Some alerting mechanism that doesn't just spam me every day. For instance, I would like to look through new postings with descriptions that match certain keywords. Any existing site today just spams me with anything containing "software" or "computer" in the description.
Nothing. I've read a bunch of them looking for some kind of enlightenment. I can't say any of them were actually worth the time invested. I expect to be downvoted, but this is truly what I feel. Read a couple of these books just to confirm to yourself they're a waste, and go lead your own life.

> How is Tse Tsan-tai a western, anti-chinese propagandist?

"Born in Grafton, New South Wales, to a "patriotic" Chinese, Tse Yat-cheong (謝日昌), Tse Tsan-tai was baptised James See on 1 November 1879."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tse_Tsan-tai

When I wrote anti-chinese, I meant at the time - qing china. And the SCMP was created by a british "journalist" and Tse specifically to push anti-chinese propaganda at that time.

> That the Chinese government praised Sun Yat-sen, and printed a commemorative coin for his 150th birthday, seems at odds with your sentiment.

Why? The CCP can choose to celebrate parts of sun yat-sen's legacy which aligns with their own ideology - especially the destruction of china's feudal system. Also, you can praise sun yat-sen as a larger part of reincorporating taiwan back to the mainland.

We celebrate Robert E. Lee, does it make the US anti-US? Hell in the 1970s, the US celebrate Mao and Deng in order to grow our relationship. Doesn't make the US pro-communist.

Neither company loses much if rivian disappears.

For amazon the equity investment fell under corporate social responsibility, the alternative would be something like carbon offsets which are a pure loss.

For ford it just means one less competitor, and they might be able to salvage some IP in the fire sale.

If rivian is just a variation on a proven technology whats their competitive advantage? They have zero manufacturing scale, zero experience selling cars, and with the “platform” model no way to differentiate the cars over any other EV (no vertical integration).

> In C++ you think hard about your problem, create strong abstractions that translate into fast execution. That's a highly satisfying engineering job.

C++ is an awful language that requires too much thinking. Make a mistake and you'll pay for it with hidden memory leaks and segfaults. It offers no help. No other mainstream language is quite so unforgiving. Rust, Go, and Swift will hopefully relegate it to the dustbin. (Of the three, only Rust is suitably non-GC'd for bare metal requirements.)

There's always an opportunity cost, even if those proximal things don't directly cause damage. For your impassioned knowledge worker, this might be not getting enough sleep, or not practicing your more general interpersonal skills, or not having enough downtime to let your subconcious mull over work problems from new angles.

I believe what you're actually saying is that regardless of whether or not it is technically correct, it would be incorrect (and I agree with you there).

My question was more "for inputs not defined as being valid by the spec, is the result undefined (a la C++ UB where anything and everything is legal in response) or is it required to reject said input".

The sibling response says extensions are allowed, but that wouldn't come into play if an input is specifically called out as disallowed (vs simply not taken into account whatsoever).

I didn't say it shouldn't, because I understand. However if Apple is really privacy, they should put this option in wizard with default off, and say something like "if you want personalized ads turn this on". The fact that they turns this on by default and don't show in wizard is my point.

Tesla only has capacity problems in North America because they've stuck with a proprietary plug. If they switch to CCS and provide a CCS adapter for older cars then their capacity problems will be solved.

The juxtaposition between dating and references.. doesn't work, at least to me. I can't imagine actually writing this about an ex. Especially, curious as to the circumstance in which this type of interaction would even occur. "Hey, sorry we didn't work out, now can you write a reference for my dating profile?"
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

This applies to surprisingly many tasks in life.

That said, I've been pushing to hit 100 wpm typing with minimal typos for years just because it's a nice round number and I keep ending up just shy. Character typos aren't even that big of a deal, as I find a good chunk of mistakes are actually "thought-os" where I type in the completely wrong giraffe. So being able to recover dynamically from misakes is valuable too.

Eliezer, you know more than most, that a model must not neglect important features, otherwise the model will not be useful. You also surely know that the only benefit of a model is its ability to predict the future. Let's say, hypothetically, 'a model' failed to account for, say, diplomats laundering foreign aid to the children of U.S. politicians, and also failed to predict 2016 with high certainty, you might correctly conclude that said model will fail, with zero expectation of long-term utility. But if, in the short-term, it helps people sleep at night, convincing themselves they are morally superior, then they are also free to be incorrect.

At what point though, do you decide to stop and reassess your model?
I don't see how. Do you remember office menus and toolbars? They were insane. I remember the 'collapsed' menus in 2003 as a low point in UI design.

BTW, if there is anyway that I can get Clojure startup time below 0.1s (actually, until 0.2s wouldn't be so bad, but this is my limit) that doesn't involve something like a daemon running I would be all ears.

They ever fix text selection in Scribus on Windows?

EDIT: Just installed 1.5.5 and nope, they haven't. Still no triple-click line or paragraph selection. Still no double-click-and-drag to select multiple words. Still only Ctrl+double-click to select a whole paragraph.

The same patterns to select text on every other piece of software on my computer don't work in this software designed to publish text.

I have no idea how y'all work with this stuff. GIMP and Scribus put basic functionality behind an obscurity gate, and then folks wonder why so many people have such a negative reaction to how they work.

EDIT: Yeah, I do still subscribe to the ticket filed THIRTEEN YEARS AGO to implement it. https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=4303

I assume by “souped up” they mean they modded it. You can go onto Amazon and get adapters to retrofit HDD-based iPods with flash, and a replacement battery too as long as you’re cracking it open.

I did this with an old 5G video iPod and it was a 15 minute job. Worked better than new because there wasn’t the lag in switching songs from waiting for the HDD to spin up.

Seriously. Here's how the software business works: There are people in management with MBAs who follow the same template no matter what company you are talking about. Management sees everyone non-management as part of the infrastructure. Developers are not human beings to them, they are a commodity. A developer is the same thing as a printer or an office chair to them. To be in management, you have to also be "good" at dehumanizing others, drinking a lot, saying "yes" to anything regardless of how ridiculous that thing is, and generally going along to get along.

I have job-hopped many times hoping to find a place that values developers. After 9-10 jobs I now realize my mistake. There aren't any. Every place I have worked is more or less as I just described to you. This is 21st century business. This is what they didn't explain in college. This is what is wrong with all business in general is this commodification of people--they don't care if you're a good developer or a 10X problem solver, most are happy with cheap. If the labor comes from India or China or anyplace with a contract that puts the laboror in a one-down position of servitude, all the better because those people can be exploited much further. Again, they don't even care about quality, they desire only "good enough."

Now, there is something worse. White males are considered less attractive people to hire. They are trying to punish us for being intelligent and successful. If you don't believe me, just wait, in time you will experience it yourself.
> You know how trying to remake reddit without the censorship

But reddit was "reddit without censorship" for a very long time before corporate interests, journalists and government decided to get involved.

"Reddit without censorship" was certainly not a cesspit and what made it popular in the first place. Free speech was what made reddit great and made it popular.

Also, "reddit with censorship" is just a different kind of cesspool. Just because it's the kind of cesspool you enjoy swimming in doesn't make it any less revolting.
Well this has turned mostly into veiled threats and appeals to authority to carry out those veiled threats, so I agree there's not much left to say.

I keep hearing about nim and I've normally ignored it because Rust is good enough for me. Recently, I got curious if itd be a good fit for my coworkers, so I started giving it a look.

I'm baffled at all the python comparisons. Yes, it as significant white space, but that felt like it. It felt more like Ada or some other language than python.

The one thing I did appreciate was `(;)` for turning statements into expressions. I've grown to love having complex expressions in Rust and miss them in other contexts. However, Python's scoping reduces the need for them.

For many years my career was my entire identity: I really, really wanted to be a designer. I thought it was the coolest thing EVER.

Then my son was born and I couldn't quite make this designer career/life that I wanted. I also realized I wasn't AMAZING at it, but I was GOOD at it. I couldn't quite get over that threshold. So therefore, not being at the top of my game and trying to feed my family became a problem.

I gave it up and became a programmer, which I don't attach myself too as much these days. I tell people I'm a parent first, board gamer second, programmer third. Whereas before, I was a designer-everything.
