> use loneliness as a motivator to decide you aren’t going to be lonely anymore and find ways to fix the problem.

I'm sure it wasn't intended, but your post comes across as incredibly dismissive. Oh, you are lonely? You just need motivation. Oh, your family is a toxic dumpster fire that taught you all the wrong social skills? Dont move away from that. Oh, you are lonely? Try golf and church.

Your basic point that loneliness wont magically fix itself is true, but your words instead magically wave away every complication.

People can be introverts that nonetheless want social contact. By the end of a workday I'm exhausted. My peers all have young children, making schedules harder to coordinate and many of the activities I enjoy are off the table if one cant string 3 sentences together without interruption.

Which isnt to say that I cant work on improving things, but posts like yours are incredibly discouraging. It just says that my problems are my fault for bring me. Instead of saying I should find options that work for me it just says to learn to enjoy what I hate. It says just get motivated.

That's the kind of thing that makes people MORE alienated and lonely, and LESS motivated to think there is hope.
On Apple platforms the simple set of guidelines would look something like:

* Can you use dispatch_queue? Great, use it.

* If not, can you use pthread_mutex? Note that this can be configured to be unfair if desired. If so, use it.

* If not (e.g. you need actual semaphore behavior), use dispatch_semaphore.

os_unfair_lock is more of an optimization when speed is a must. It's a replacement for the old OSSpinLock, but AFAICT it basically acts like a normal mutex under contention, so I'm not actually sure why pthread_mutex would be preferred over it, except the documentation says to prefer pthread or libdispatch as they're "higher level" primitives.

Also of interest is dispatch_group_t, which is basically an inverted semaphore (it counts active tasks, and lets you wait until all tasks have completed). Under the hood it's actually a semaphore that's initialized with LONG_MAX as the value and some custom logic (including atomics) around waiting.

> Worth mentioning that scientific research, even if difficult to reproduce, is still better than, say, superstitious crap.

No, it isn't, because once something is labeled as "superstitious crap" it's not going to have any great impact on public policy. But if something is labeled as "scientific research", even if it's of no better quality or reliability than superstitious crap, it does have impact on public policy.

The "reproducibility crisis" is not a crisis because many scientific results are difficult to reproduce. That is to be expected in scientific research, since research is supposed to push the boundaries of what is already known, and that means many results will be sketchy and uncertain.

The "reproducibility crisis" is only a crisis for those people who took sketchy and uncertain scientific results and declared them as "settled science" and used them to drive public policy--and then everyone found out how sketchy and uncertain the results were when they could not be reproduced. So now the public doesn't know when "science" can be trusted, because scientists themselves have squandered its trustworthiness.
This is the sinister part to me, that the right way is so hard to find, if it even exists. Try something -> get error -> fix error -> working might be ok for most uses, but this probably isn't going to yield the best way of doing things.

It's the equivalent of building a bridge, watching it fall apart, then figuring out how to artfully tie a rope around the bridge to keep it upright, rather than just designing a bridge that can stand on it's own. Most practical knowledge is therefore about artfully wrapping different ropes in clever ways around various problems, rather than fundamental theory on how to build the best design.

As a result of these thoughts, I doubt my code, I doubt everyone's code, and I've lost that naive optimism about technology. Good enough is good enough to ship, after all.

What people dream about doesn't really mean anything. They don't actually live and work at google, as a software engineer. They just see some kind of marketing version of "a day in the life of a software engineer at google". It has nothing to do with reality.

Every programmer I met is depressed, hates computers, and spends all of their day just pretending to work because they burned out in the first month of programming. Programming isn't a real job for actual humans. We can't do it. The market just demands it.

I heard tumbleweeds are an invasive species. Wikipedia seems to confirm:

"Kali tragus [...] is an annual plant that breaks off at the stem base when it dies, and forms a tumbleweed, dispersing its seeds as the wind rolls it along. It is said to have arrived in the United States in shipments of flax seeds to South Dakota, perhaps about 1870. It now is a noxious weed throughout North America, dominating disturbed habitats such as roadsides, cultivated fields, eroded slopes, and arid regions with sparse vegetation." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbleweed#Plants_that_form_tu...

1. Still no Iron Man type interface or Star Wars style holograms for communication

2. VR will remain just a play thing, probably even die out.

3. iPhone series will stop with the numeric versioning,
probably around iPhone 14.

4. We'll have 512gb storage, 8GB RAM as the norm in smartphones by the end of the decade. By norm, I mean the
specs would be there even in the mid-range phones.

5. Google Stadia if marketed correctly now, and if it works really well, will be the standard of gaming by 2030.

6. #metoo v2 will happen

7. EU will die out and get taken over by middle-east Islamic nations.

8. Marvel will fail trying to replicate its whole Avengers series success over this decade.

9. AWS alone will earn Amazon > $80bn/yr by 2030. Last year alone it earned $25.7 billion - https://qz.com/1539546/amazon-web-services-brought-in-more-m...

10. Hopefully the Facebook app itself (the social network, not the company) would be on the brink of collapse. Facebook would survive by its acquisitions - whatsapp, instagram, etc.
The only book I’ve abandoned was Naked Lunch. I’ve enjoyed some slog books like Infinite Jest which the article mentioned, I enjoy shocking fiction and films, but something about that book cut to the quick of my imagination and just freaking grossed me out. I couldn’t power through it.

I still think about finishing it one day. The thought of it won’t leave me alone and it’s been years now. To many other books to read though, and time is scarce!
Loaded fast, that's a thumbs up from me! Most of the landing pages I've seen on this thread have been very pretty, no doubt, but on my poor little computer they weren't the speediest of websites.

Clicked on the website you linked, bam, it's loaded. It's also very simple too! No distracting shapes or clunky animations, it's just a very satisfying website. +1

> Bad research doesn't usually hold up.

Your faith in the reliability of the scientific process is touching, but naive. Bad research is driving public policy in many areas.

> Even good research doesn't always hold up over time.

In the sense that it gets superseded by better models (as Bohr's original model of the atom did), sure. That's to be expected in a healthy scientific field. But one of the things that's needed to keep a field healthy in that respect is the ability to do controlled experiments with high accuracy. That's how scientists figured out that Bohr's original model of the atom wasn't right--it couldn't match the results of the experiments as they got more accurate.

It would be great if you can integrate features of clerky with international tax law/accounting advicr. US tax laws are notoriously complex. You won't be able to differentiate from e.g. Stripe Atlas with just the current set of features alone.
Wavelength is not a height, but the distance between between points of the same phase in the variation of the propagating electromagnetic field.

Propagating EM fields are adorned and reflected with multiple effects. Light is electromagnetic fields with a wavelength of ~ 100s nm, yet it can pass through glass, but not a thin sheet of aluminum foil.
I've noticed something similar. I used to be able to get into games, like become completely immersed such that it was a magical experience.

These days, no way. I'm not sure why it is, but I recall reading a few threads where people our age lament the same thing happening to them.

In my case, I suspect it may be rooted in anxiety, guilt for fear of wasting time not being productive.

Yet, illogically I'll end up hooked on certain competitive multiplayer games and waste the time just the same. I suspect certain games play into anxious behavior more, especially games with a short match format.

The last single player game I truly enjoyed in a magical sense, I had to block out the time for it ahead of time, like it was a task to complete. That seemed to help a lot with enjoyment strangely enough.
If this alleviates your concerns, I have a bridge to sell you.

If you trust Google to only activate recording when you say a wake word, why not just send a stream of your audio data and trust them to delete it? If you're trusting amoral corporations whose entire business is selling your data with access to a bug in your house, just go the whole way.
But there are 3rd party apps which can change the wake word so I'd assume it's implemented in software on the Google Home/Nest mini.
Except that your 2025 motherboard will run USB 2025, even though it’s the same as USB 2020. The marketing people just didn’t want to write USB 2020 on there.

I don't want to retire at 35, but I would like to be able to if I burn out, can't find a job, or whatever. Not having to work ever again (but choosing to continue to work) eliminates a lot of sources of stress for me.
You don't know how happy that makes me, thanks.

I'm tired of slow software so I vowed to make all my personal projects perform well. Along the way I wanted to add comments to my blog, tried disqus, and figured I could do one better (at least for me).
I think it’s also interesting to point out that the kind of person who hears “improve your social life” and thinks “that’s impossible because there aren’t enough women willing to date me” is probably dealing with some self fulfilling prophecy.

When I think of my social life I think of my community and the people in it. Board game nights at my friends’ apartments, playing destiny 2 together, going canvassing with folks politically aligned with me. I’ve met so many interesting platonic and romantic relationships by intentionally building community first and my romantic life second.

If your entire socialization scheme is build around winning at dating and you come from it with a scarcity mindset... you’re the problem.

What are the expectations, in an interview for this level?
In theory, I can also argue that your view above is also a personal construct to help you cope with existence...

I wont pretend to understand consciousness or the human experience...but I like to be pragmatic, and from a pragmatic perspective, I dont see the utility of your belief about religion and faith and power structures...its an almost helpleas viewpoint that rejects everything as imaginary and malleable...and I dont see the value in that in my own beliefs and philosophy.
I still don't understand how they're defining total compensation. Federal taxable wages, like what shows up on your W-2? Or the amount you're promised including RSUs, regardless of vesting schedule?

This is what happens when the marketing department gives the same name to two things which may be broadly in a general product category, but are technically very different. Have seen it with many categories of hardware.
Very grateful for your work.

Have you considered having the map be optional (a click away)? To preserve mobile data if nothing else.

Also, given how often turnover happens, a link next to each itemized machine to notify you of changes (and perhaps another to notify participating owners of mechanical problems)?

I wish the 49ers playoff and INDISC weren't the same weekend.
I would disagree with that statement. There are many ways at getting to what the model is doing, feature importances, SHAP, etc. It's not as clear as logistic regression or a single decision tree, but its not a black box either.
I think it's more they wanted to do it on their own terms. They wanted to provide the best most scalable cloud platform ever in GAE, but users wanted more of a dumbed-down lift-and-shift-friendly variant that AWS offered.
Thanks for the answer, I understand better your point.
What I understand from your messages is that C++ should be a good solution.

I struggle to find the logic in the data.table interface, whereas dplyr is a joy to use, at least interactive.

I agree that it is slow, and when things break apart, heavy the NSE use in dplyr really comes back to bite you.
That still leaves ridiculous, ludicrous, and plaid.

To me, the interspersed emoticons/images detract from readability.
That's not entirely correct. The sociopath strategy is to employ your time looking for ways up - instead of whatever the company is paying you to do - i.e., the up or out strategy. However, there's no reason it can't be up _and_ out, such as starting your own thing.
If the business lacks sufficient capital reserves to continue operating through that customer churn then issues of clean infrastructure or good development practices become completely moot. The business will fail before the engineers have time to improve anything.
Yeah folks could try on a little humility... when someone is uninterested in you, it's not a personal affront. You expressed interest and they didn't reciprocate. Big deal. When _everyone_ is uninterested in you, maybe you're not interesting. You could think about how to change that, rather than complaining that the world is judging you on the wrong metric.

Oh shit, did EGA have a different cable? My first PC had VGA, and since the DE-15 cable ruled for a decade until DVI, I had just assumed that CGA and EGA cards and monitors used the same cable...

It's always so crazy how creative and bespoke all the early PC tech was, because the hardware limitations were crippling, in every single dimension. And that in turn makes it so fascinating to read these articles, because the limits of the hardware was so well-known, that you could do things like counting actual cycles and basing your timing off of that or similar.

> Your solution regularly leads to orphans 5 blocks deep, making the network unstable.

Only if China decides to hamper the speed of their miners by pointlessly trying unsuccessfully to censor transactions.

> - Chinese miners (the network doesn't know that) publish a normal transaction.

> - they don't include it for 30 blocks. Western nodes have already switched to a minority uncensored chain after 5 blocks, as they consider the transaction censored.

> - Chinese miners include it in 31st block.

> A new node joins. It follows the Chinese chain indefinitely.

Okay, yes. And so does the entire rest of the network, because now the blocks are valid. Yes, this is very bad, because anyone who spent money in the shorter chain can now re-spend their coins.

But critically, nothing was censored here. This is a transaction reordering, not a censorship attack.

China can do the exact same thing with fewer steps. All they have to do is go back 30 blocks, and start mining blocks with the transactions in whatever order they want. Eventually their branch will be ahead and everyone will switch to it.
Lawns are aesthetically pleasing to humans.

It has been widely observed that humans, having adapted to life in the African savannah, have a tendency to turn everything into an idealised version of their natural habitat.

Regents Park, or your local golf course, is like a superstimulus version of the nicer parts of prehistoric Kenya. Lots of nice green grass; not too long, indicating grazing animals nearby. Trees scattered around for shade, but not too many. A bunch of clearly visible landmarks for easy navigation. Flowers, indicating... fruit maybe? I’m not sure. Either way, it’s exactly the sort of environment that an omnivorous savannah ape ought to prefer over any other.

Anyway, I like lawns because my genes tell me to like lawns.

What's not working for you?

For me sourcemaps is just working (I mainly use Parcel with TypeScript, so Parcel takes TS -> ES6+ -> JS -> Bundle). What's your path?
I think depends on what constitutes the “complaint”. If it’s just a bunch of griping with no suggestion for an alternative it’s not very constructive. Clearly engineers shouldn’t just build whatever they are told, but not caring enough about the business constraints is also bad. Like it or not at most places the software serves the business. Yes you want to engineer things so they are maintainable, performant etc, but if it doesn’t meet the business needs then none of that really matters. I’ve worked with engineers for example that outright refused to build things that are clearly needed by customers, for “technical reasons”. The result, good software that no one used.
You forgot some, though.

You're definitely getting shafted if you're working for a privately held start-up and they don't give you a 10 year exercise window. Many start-ups pay "median" salary or below, which make their numbers look bad versus levels.fyi. But in many cases if a start-up has an exit, then early employees will easily eclipse what they'd earn at FAANG. (Later employees, maybe not ..).

The 10 year exercise window should be standard behavior by now; if you're not given 10 years, your employer sadly doesn't want to be competitive. https://triplebyte.com/blog/fixing-the-inequity-of-startup-e...

Routers in most homes and offices have the power budget and physical space to support multiple frequencies and protocols, so there's not much reason to give up backward compatibility unless you want a router that is either very small or very cheap. Of course the 2.4GHz band is crowded, but it won't be so bad anymore when most bandwidth-heavy devices have moved on to higher frequencies.
