I think the desire to make a mark on the world, leave behind some “legacy”, etc is itself a denial of mortality, and in some cases/to some degree a desire for validation from others. If you can put down that desire for validation, and come to accept that we’ll all soon be dust, you can focus on living a life that works for you.

I think society expects individuals to “live for some higher purpose” because that’s what produces beneficial outcomes for the society. Hard to argue with that. But I have found that the times I lived my life in accordance with those expectations were the times I felt most trapped and resentful. And conversely, when I focused on doing what I wanted, I encountered resentment from others for not “sticking to the script” (living for their benefit). But I’ve found that to be a heckuva lot easier to live with.

I still help others in my life quite a bit, but it’s on my terms, rather than a structural obligation built into my lifestyle.

Of course, I wouldn’t deny that some who attempt to impact the world succeed. And some of those impacts have benefited those who come after. And I doubt the world would be a better place if everyone were like me, but then that is true of anyone.
At some point you presumably have to assess user-similarity in order to let similar users recommend items to each other? How's this different from e.g. user-user CF in terms of compiling everyone's info into a single model? I'm not criticising but rather just curious
A strong upvote for Thinking Fast and Slow. I think it should be required reading in school, or at least parts of it.

I understand where you are coming from and had similar experience.

After learning a fair bit of web-development, I feel R should focus on an analytics oriented path.

R just isn't designed for a web-app. Web-apps are much better and faster developed in more focussed languages / frameworks (node/python/django/express, etc) and can be seamlessly integrated to leverage R modules / scripts.

So, there is an important distinction between technical skills vs the softer political skills. I ran into this problem as I had up-leveled myself before a job, but I was a complete n00b at the people problem.

Sadly, the people problem dominates most companies, and even pure technical tracks require people skills of a different nature due to the parallel power structures.
I haven't fully considered this, as I haven't crossed that bridge. A naive approach would dictate holding a 100/0 stock/bonds portfolio, which would never necessitate rebalancing. To date, I've likely experienced some drift, but not meaningfully since my portfolio composition was 99/1. However, of the stock portion of my portfolio, I do plan to hold about one-third international; so I should rebalance annually. This can be done in tax-advantaged accounts, to avoid capital gains taxes. (A common FI strategy is to maximize contributions to tax-advantaged accounts, as I do). I handle capital gains, currently, by simply not selling taxable investments.
It's sort of like... say you are on a team that has a ton of legacy code, a ton of technical debt, and a ton of new product requirements always coming in. Why doesn't the team work harder on updating the legacy code and reducing the technical debt? Mathematicians like the new stuff. Some people are working on formalizing the old stuff, it's just slow-going.
This is antisemitic.
Most of elogind code is taken out of systemd and living standalone, even following systemd version.

Thus has been showcased that it is possible and there's no reason why this shouldn't be a separate library in first place according to all those great UNIX and programming philosophical motto out there.
>The whole left/right dichotomy is a bugaboo.

Not exactly. Grouping along left/right, conservative/progressive axes is in effect a severe dimensionality reduction, simplifying thousands of metrics of political stance into two neat little clusters. It is technically valid, but overly reductive and forces black/white thinking into the common psyche which itself becomes a source of friction.
I finished the audiobook a month ago. I had read up on the wikipedia page, but had conveniently skipped the controversy section. I assumed there are always naysayers! This time I took the time to read it. It definitely does put a different colour on the whole thing!
The best books in the past decade, that's a hard one! It's also hard to pinpoint what I learned where, but I'll just list the most memorable ones. I read a lot of software engineering books to learn language X or technology Y. But that's just o'reilly books and probably not that interesting to list here.

- Jobs by Walter Isaacson. To learn about the Apple and Steve Jobs himself. I thought it was great

- Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's older than a decade (about 4 decades old actually) but I only read it a few years ago when I studied philosophy and it left quite an impression on me, food for thought.

- The Dip. It's motivational, I think back on it every now and then when pushing myself through a rough patch in the gym or professionally.

- Turing's Cathedral, it's a history of computers basically. Recommended if you're into software/computers.
If you like David Sedaris you might enjoy Spalding Gray's monologues. Swimming to Cambodia and Gray's Anatomy are my favorites.
But this is not a regular static site, right? In the sense that it does not work with Javascript disabled, which is why you needed to do this:

> Then I remembered that I would probably need to redirect all requests to index.html.

Compare that to e.g. my blog (also the result of an experiment), which has the fast page changes you were looking for, but also works without Javascript, albeit with full page refreshes when switching pages: https://vincenttunru.com/
I don't see how ES could be an issue for a blog, it's not like Lucene indexes blow up randomly and keeping backups should be standard practice at scale even if you used a proper DB.

Meanwhile, if you want a small deployment that also does full text search with a bunch of "smarter" features and some analytics, it would make sense to only use a single data store.

All these in theory, as I haven't checked out the actual project.
IMHO if it's not going to support octal anyway, it makes zero(!) sense to artificially limit/special-case things like this, because then it's much simpler and more consistent to have leading zeros behave like any other digit.

A blog engine build on top of a 1,5gb instance is a bit much.

It literally says this in the link:

The data was originally forked from rosettacode.org on 2019-10-22. In comparison to Rosetta Code, in RosettaGit all code is stored and hosted in a repository on GitHub instead of a MediaWiki. This has following advantages:

* Code can be edited with proper text editors
* Continous integration and delivery can be used to ensure a high code quality
* All infrastrucuture for git (e.g. GitHub) simplifies further development
* Faster load times as pages are only rebuilt after a change

The obvious part is that by the time your code stabilizes (and you have good techniques and process) then most of the faults in the code have been eliminated. At this point you should have an informal or formal proof of correctness with little need to take the time to get the machine to do the proof for you.

> There's a lot of 'stabilized' code especially within libraries, that could be endowed with formal guarantees.

Just to take this a little further consider the many open-source libraries out there written in dynamic languages and in use by thousands of production-facing business code. Perhaps there is justification in cases to apply formal techniques, but these libraries are clearly content to use other tools (informal tools, testing, release process, social processes, etc).

> "lightweight" static techniques would still be useful if only as a means of avoiding egregious mistakes

I'm 100% in agreement with you here. My argument is that static techniques should be looked at as nominal tools and not be put on a pedestal nor placed on the main path of continuous delivery and development as the static type enthusiasts have it.

Within one language, a project can have numerous valid, qualitatively different implementations. How to ensure that the implementations in different languages are comparable? And if that's not the goal, how is this different from searching GitHub for "implementation of 2048 in Rust"?
Oh okay, thanks. I wasn't sure if they were selling annotations that their trained model can do quickly or selling manual labeling services that their customers can use to train their own models. Sounds like the latter which isn't as technically impressive.
> Flying as a whole is not that comfy

To each their own. A lay-flat seat is like a mini-vacation strapped onto work trips. I’ve never done a mileage run, but I’ve certainly increased spend on a route (e.g. buy buying a nicer ticket upfront) to hit thresholds because those thresholds are meaningful to me.
Learn how to pack and its not a chore. A woman taught me some techniques to optimize packing and space, and ironically other women say its only possible because I am a man.

When you have preauthorization from the government for security the controls are not time consuming, and means less variance in how long you need to get to your plane

So that means much less waiting, but if you wish to wait then you typically have several lounge options to choose from if you desire

And with status you board earlier which also means less drama regarding getting on or whats going to happen to your carryon bag

It requires some finesse but its a much more parallel experience to casual travelers subject to the full stress of air travel

Also with the points you are more frequently booking convenient flights that would otherwise be economically irrational
I agree with your initial assessment but for second, It depends. I have gone through that or so I believe. And yet I don't see point in living in current circumstances.

The irrational or rational mind compares the experiences of others as a measure for their own happiness when they feel that something is not right.

Going by what feels right works as long as there is positive reinforcement otherwise it will have a negative side effect on life.
Some people aren't for example aware of choices others have made in their life because they don't focus on them, those choices lead them to happiness or better standing ground but for others, those choices that aren't in their control leading to a very negative event may disproportionately affect them and questioning.

You can't control for your initial years or childhood and That I think has the biggest impact on whether you will come across solving it.

It feels right to cry out in misery but rational or irrational mind would think it might be pointless if for however long you cry, no one comes to help or nothing improves.

I don't know what is considered rational or irrational thing to do given anything may seem rational for someone in specific circumstances and irrational for bystander. Is there such a thing as objective rationality that can be verified?

Ivy became an opt-in feature of the Angular CLI earlier this year with Angular v8.

Ivy uses "dirty checking" too [1]. AFAIK Ivy and pre-Ivy operate on similar fundamental principals, which is why Ivy is a drop-in replacement.

Or maybe people are working harder each year for decreasing post-inflation-adjusted wages and decreasing benefits, wages are not keeping up with costs in many industries and places, they are stressed out and asking why they put themselves through this.

Or perhaps, a scenario that will be familiar to many in tech and I know I have personally witnessed, that some corporate cultures are so completely full of narcissism, and they sweep people up until they think this sort of beast is normal, having a toll on mental health.
This article is really inaccurate. The impedance isn't a good signal for how much power needs to be pumped into the headphone. The impedance also doesn't act as a good signal for what devices could generate enough volume. It also isn't a good signal for being able to "more accurately and vividly reproduce sound." Almost everything in this section isn't accurate.

Lower impedance headphones are "harder" to drive at the same voltage because they require more current. Often, amplifiers will have lower maximum outputs when driving into a lower impedance.

The sensitivity section isn't too bad but a lot of this article is pure snake oil and bad science. A lot of the amplifier talk in this article also doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
I have a PhD in machine learning and have had a fairly productive career now spanning almost thirty years. Even a few years ago, I used think that I would keep at it indefinitely. Lately however, I'm finding that the field simply just does not interest me as much as it used to. Contributing to this is the knowledge that I am financially independent - I just don't need to work at this point. I'm planning to quit later this year and spend more time on hobbies and studying cognitive science on my own.

Well, that just justifies my decision to never buy a TV. Yes yes, I own a smartphone already. But I've tried to lock it down as much as possible by deactivating some services, limiting which apps I install. There will always be some tracking if you own a phone by the carrier anyway.

But TV's are becoming a whole other thing. I also just hate free-to-air TV, hate having a black void in the living room begging to be switched on, and I hate the effect it has on kids. A projector that only comes out on special movie nights is more than enough. And a laptop to watch Netflix or something with my wife is better than having a TV.
Something I was impressed with recently is LG and their opt in collection policies. I was able to not opt in to most of their advertising and data collection policies and only the features that required that data collection were disabled, everything else worked fine. Samsung isn't like this and I just keep my Samsung "Smart" TVs off the network. I have a Roku (just slightly better) that handles the smart part.
Deep Work by Cal Newport was great.

They're not invented by Angular but for each and everyone one I have to learn how to do it the "Angular way", usually with an Angular-specific API. That's why it's over-engineered.
It’s usually either those that spend a lot of total dollars with United or in some cases “influencers” in a company like the head of travel that control a lot of spend.
>I never see the Reddit mobile site and never need to tell the browser to request the desktop mode.

There is a seemingly persistent bug where reddit fails to remember preferences surrounding mobile/desktop and old/redesign. Sometimes you will click a link and the page it delivers you to will be on the mobile site, sometimes it will take you to the redesign. It's been going on for at least a year. I use reddit a lot and I run into it at least every week. Sometimes it sticks and I have to relog to get my preferences back.

Its possible the parser was laid out to choke on octals as a way to protect the 'standard'. Its one decision to not support octals, and its another to make octal-style an error so those numbers are not parsed as base10.
Since Windows has spinlocks too (for judicious use in driver code) does that make it non-user-friendly too? Or am I missing the point you're making?
Ha I resonate with this so much. From from the motherland to the US and it's been interesting because I love some of the freedom of self expression the individualism gives me but often times have to be snapped back from the east coast rush-everywhere life I've lived recently and remember that it's okay to hang out till late because the time spent connecting with others meaningfully is hardly ever a waste.

Indeed, people, relationships and our connections make us who we are
A non-online/non-streaming parser can parse [0][1] in an online/streaming way by first parsing one text ([0]) then the next ([1]), whereas it has to parse all of [[0],[1]] to produce a result. Similarly on the encoding side.

Concatenated JSON is ambiguous, so you need to put some whitespace between any JSON texts where both aren't arrays or objects.

This is a widely used technique.
What OS doesn't have spinlocks?
Well you're not wrong, we should clearly thrive to enforce healthy life choices. What's the opposite of your argument? Beer is legal so coke should be because muh freedom?
A big reason many companies push for app installs is because it gets them out if the business of having to pay a very high Google tax for traffic. If a hotel company can convince you to download their app, the hope is that the next time you search for a hotel you go straight to their app, instead of going to Google where the hotel chain would have to pay out the nose for very competitive AdWords.

But that doesn't really apply in Slack's case.
I recently went to but a new range/oven. In the price range I was looking at (1-2k) it was impossible to find something that didn’t have a touchscreen with some smart feature (WiFi, Bluetooth, whatever). You had to jump up to the $3-6k range to get a “pro” model that comes completely stripped of (apparent) electronics.

Nobody. GS is nominally the top 1-2% in UA metal revenue of each station (e.g. I had a coworker based out of PIT who was able to routinely get it with 50k annual spend, while I met a number of SFO folks who had to spend 80-90k). Anecdotally, companies with large business relationships with United (Apple, Google, etc.) will get a certain number of GS slots as well (they could get allocated to senior execs--there was a rumor that it was a director perk, though I asked my directors and they didn't seem to have access, so maybe it was VPs only?).

> all of which can strengthen the urge to defer existential questions about meaning, purpose, community, and identity until some unspecified future date

I've quit my Software Engineering job twice now to spend years of my life doing whatever I want. First time I spent two years driving from Alaska to Argentina [1] and second time I just spent three years driving right around Africa [2]. Both times I had no job, no boss, no timeline and I did whatever I wanted every single day. Hiking, camping, taking photos, cooking food, learning a new language, writing when I wanted to, etc. etc. I had ultimate freedom, living off my savings.

Without a doubt, the "freedom" life is much harder for me than the "desk job" life for exactly the reasons you listed above. After about six months for me I started to really, really think about the meaning of my life, what direction I want my life to take and a ton of other things that simply don't enter my mind when my life is on autopilot (i.e. going to work every day).

Going to work everyday is easy, because it means you don't have to decide the direction of your own life if you don't want to.

We built a B2C gaming product in a highly regulated market, have about 400 DAOs and 2000 MAOs, 15k MRR, raised 50k friends&family, 250k via crowdfunding earlier this year and to date invested 300k ourselves (2 core founders). The product is loved by core users but we need $$ to make accessible to a broader audience and push marketing.
We have some connections and will be introduced to investors in this sector, but how do i valuate whats there?
We believe it has great potential and competitive products are doing pretty well.
Any help? Maybe somebody willing to help us out personally if we share the details?
