I first “met” Brad via LiveJournal in 2000 or 2001, when I was 17 or 18. I wound up becoming friends with him and some of his mutual friends, even though I lived across the country.

Every few years, I’ve found my life intersect with his. Through various jobs (and even careers), he’s been a constant person in my online orbit. When I moved to Seattle 2.5 years ago, it was fitting that Brad lives here too and even more fitting that he knows many of my coworkers, albeit in a completely different way.

Brad is one of the smartest people I’ve bet met and probably ever will meet. LiveJournal was the basis — both in idea and in technology (memcached, oauth), the basis for Facebook, WordPress, and Tumblr. I’ve long said he’s the most important Web 2.0 pioneer most people have never heard of. He’s also a fantastic person.

I for one can’t wait to see what he decides do do next and how he’ll next change the world.

Microsoft ImageBERT – Cross-Modal Pretraining with Large-Scale Image-Text Data
I've released two Flutter apps on Google Play and I don't see Flutter in such pink colors. Every SDK update makes some users change their ratings because the app starts crashing for them, even when I'll make trivial changes. Cupertino theme is bugged on Android. Flutter team is OK with doing breaking changes to widgets, so when you update, prepare your self that you may need to rewrite some parts of your app, because some widget has changed, etc.

Thanks for that.

I always feel bad seeing that someone has died and how important they were in computer science but it's the first time I've heard of them.
Ethics really doesn’t enter into corporate planning, by design. The system ensures it - day you’re CEO, if you’re not making a quarterly profit, the shareholders get rid of you.

I think it should, but in its current state, it doesn’t really.

Is it just me or the number of unnecessarily snarky comments in HN is increasing rapidly?
Why wouldn't it be? Just checked my own commit count at work. Averaging 4 daily (including weekends and holidays), in our main repo for the past six years. There's some work going on outside the main repo, if I could be bothered to check all those minor repos the number might bump to ~5.

I'm certainly not exceptionally productive or skilled or anything - I just try to make my commits as small as possible. Commit early, commit often.
Just an observation: 51% attacks are happening there days in some countries in governments. When 51% gives you the absolute power in a bitcoin, it gives you enough to rule a country and push it to 100% (there are a few real life examples). Maybe 51% is a threshold too low for some things.
Commented this elsewhere but this is cool so I'll help exposure; "This is cool, I'd dig a $2-5/mo unlimited account for 1 person/team with the same unlimited settings." Personally I just want something like this for myself, I was really surprised I couldn't share a Pocket list/tag publicly when I tried. IE, I have tags on "how to contribute to X project" which has a ton of bookmarks I'd like to allow public contributors/confluence to read without an account.

Tape on the bottom of the mouse is another common joke these days.

If the OS you are using has a taskbar, also set it to auto-hide, preferably in a random location.

As always, that kind of elaborate joke is best kept short. I also like replacing someone's shell with `wine cmd`, but nowadays the best protection for myself is that nobody seems to be able to use my computer (sway, full of shortcuts that you have to know in order to do anything). I'm similarly dumbfounded when at my friend's computers. Luckily, this is all fixed by opening a good old POSIX-compliant shell :)
My deepest sympathies - that is quite a lot to go through in just one year. I have had my own battles with mental health issues, but never so concentrated (just protracted). Like others, I really think you need to find a therapist first. As for the modality, what immediately comes to mind is integrative [1]. CBT or Jungian would not be good options though, for various reasons.

A reputable therapist ought to offer a free first session (or half) to see how you two get along and it gives them a sense of what you're struggling with. It may take a few tries to find someone you click with (or a competent one), but stay at it. The exact modality does not matter so much as the quality of the relationship between client and therapist; Bowlby's attachment theory explains this in more detail (e.g. secure attachment == good parenting).

I went through burnout a few years ago (quit the badly run by sociopaths startup), went thru a good period (i.e. taking time off), got desperate for work (bad idea, but couldn't focus on what I'd planned to (aka get out of IT))), got a job, things were ok - and then went downhill again (the dead cat bounce) due to various environmental factors and also not really addressing some internal issues. So don't do what I did.

As for the job, you can always get another one (you're young enough). Again, don't do what I did - I had a ton of responsibility in the startup job and so put up with a lot of crap because a) I thought I was indispensable, b) all the tech was my baby, etc. At the end of the day, I finally realized too late I owned zero equity and the founders were deliberately exploiting me. Your company sounds much better, but still, too much identification with "the job" is endemic in IT and tends to lead to burnout.

And the PTSD worries me for some reason... just my intuition. So don't procrastinate (like I did...) Good luck.

[edit] I see you have a psychiatrist - good, but you should do talk based therapy also IMO - it may be my biases, but psychiatrists are only appropriate for biological based issues. It is the difference in the training. A stereotype perhaps, but when debugging software, do you immediately reach for the soldering iron and start replacing chips?
So, people of 11 countries can loot statues of St. Paul, Stonehenge stones or even the Crown jewels?
>It's like when people build a house next to an airport, and then complain about all the damn airplane noise.

Not really. Buying near an airport requires explicit acknowledgement that you're doing it and that's why homeowners don't really have a leg to stand on when they complain to their local government. IIRC last time I looked at a home near a bunch of transmitters, there was no such disclosure required.
I'll cede that some of Nintendo's online strategy failed, hard, but...outside of a few things, I don't think they did that bad?

Friend codes were actually really neat; they managed to do interesting things in terms of casual online interaction (I still remember being blown away at video chatting with someone half-way across my country on DSi hardware (16MB RAM and ARM processors that weren't even capable of running Linux[1]), in a (first-ish party; Game Freak) video game where it wasn't even a sideshow it was such a small feature), they managed to do pretty painless interaction between your device and a PC in 2010, Flipnote Studio was a really innovative/impressive piece of social media in 2008 (more like Vine than Twitter, really, and first-party), etc.

Like sure, most of their uses of online prior to the Wii U or so were novelty uses, but they were still really well-executed, and at least early-on had a whole lot of genuinely interesting uses of it.

[1] I think there's a port of a very very old version of μClinux that kind of works on the system, so this is only partially true.
No, but putting them back where they belong and seeing them disappear in 24hours is probably not a good solution either.
I would suggest to scale down a bit from work, you have already completed almost 1/4th of your career and if it gives you stress now, imagine 30 more years of it.

Then try to start helping people in anyway you can, like crossing a road, or buying coffee for a stranger, or go to a elder community..

These kinds of small acts will give your breathing space to think and enrich the mind and bring in more positivity.

Always remember that first thing is to get out of bad thoughts.. Therapy as someone said might also help , but it comes to affordability.
I second this. Without good health, everything else is so much harder.

So I know unwanted advice should not be given, but I can't help writing my little version down. What has helped me fix my anxiety, concentration and procrastination issues is vipassana meditation - but you need a certain level of strength, it is not an easy path by any means. It will probably not help you as quickly as you need right now. I wholeheartedly recommend it though for the long run, once you have the bandwidth. It has the potential to change your life for the better and offer profound self-insight, if done correctly.
It often feels as though almost everything on the internet post 2000 or so has been an enormous bait and switch. Build a good service people like, get a lot of people hooked on it, and then gradually fuck it up in an attempt to generate some kind of revenue.

I, personally, hate it. Its depressing to see a technology so full of promise (seem to, anyway) regress. Become less magical, less useful. Its no wonder young people are skeptical of capitalism - it seems to literally be eating the goose. Not even the goose that laid the golden egg - just the goose, in hopes there might be a golden egg inside.
Pretty difficult to pass that off as crab, if they come still in the shell, like I've seen at every buffet I've been to.

Granted, I haven't been to a buffet in over a decade. They seem to have died out entirely near me.
How does Nest compare to Ring ?

I have seen so many deals on Ring security system and not surprised my entire community is on Ring (since its closer to a Costco) and we are the only household without any kind of security system atm.
But how do you go about shorting these coins? There's not an obvious way to short them, like traditional stocks.
That’s never really true, because even in a dictatorship the government doesn’t have total control of everything. And a 51% govt in a democratic country is constrained not only by rival political parties but also the business sector and public outrage.
I switched because `</>` breaks syntax highlighting on Github for `.jsx` files.

And since most people will be inspecting the code on Github, I thought it was worth switching.

You might want to look into WorldBrain's Memex extension. I think it crawls every page you visit into IndexedDB so you can do full-text searches later.
Well, actually Google search engine "outages" are fairly common, they are just less visible.

Examples:

Single data center outage:

Search -> load balancers handle that just fine

Cloud -> zone or sub-zone outage

Backend failure:

Search -> cache should handle that

Cloud -> outage

Data update failure:

Search -> stale search results

Cloud -> outage

Office 365 also has issues, they can be minimized but cannot be eliminated: https://twitter.com/msft365status?lang=en
All the comments here are amazing, but one extra thing to add is if you have a good manager, work with that person to lighten your load. Having less to worry about at work will go a long ways into making sure you are able to recover more quickly.
> An outage is no longer a "bad" thing—it is an expected part of the process of innovation, and an occurrence that both development and SRE teams manage rather than fear.

As a user, outages are always bad things. That Google's SRE team thinks otherwise is chilling.
Sociable upper managerial-types probably value being able to collaborate more easily in open space more than being able to concentrate in private offices.

This is not my experience. Most of the upper management at my employer spend their days wandering the halls looking for open "huddle rooms". Or, they just camp out semi-permanently in one of those spaces. They absolutely do not collaborate in public. In fact, they can't - too much of what they do involves information that, if not strictly confidential, is at least somewhat need-to-know.
I'm not arguing with you but the fact remains that unlike SQLite, Access doesn't lock the database file so that only one user can write at a particular moment, it's more granular than that. It's also the fact that this worked very well for databases on small cabled LANs where no more than a dozen-ish computers might be interacting with the database at any one time. It was never designed for use over the internet (having said which I have maintained a forum running an Access mdb file as its backend since forever without a hitch the forum software process does the database edits so it's like a database server process in a way I suppose).
We've been using https://subtask.co -- it has 3 pretty awesome features which I'm baffled why Trello doesn't have:

- You can break down tasks into subtasks and those subtasks into subtasks themselves, etc

- You can dynamically group task columns by who's working on them, what is their status, what is their goal, etc

- You can arrange what's to be done on an effort-value grid, which helps immensely when choosing what to take on next
Just randomly reading into React over this example, I'm surprised by how React itself confused me with the useState function.
Facebook posted some of the models listed in their SOTA paper already. I haven’t tried these yet.

https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/blob/master/r...

My models are here: https://talonvoice.com/research/
I haven’t yet posted the model I’ve been working on most recently. I’m 120 epochs into a large size model trained on all of my datasets. I also have another 1000-1500h of audio I haven’t finished prepping to train on.

Here is a web demo. It’s currently running a slightly older checkpoint of my WIP large model, and the deepspeech LM: https://web2letter-west-1.talonvoice.com/

Well, what's "tech" in my case, photography provided a hell of lot of things my nerdy side found interesting, optics formulas, sensors, films, whatever -- that's still 'tech'. You can't hide from tech for very long. Just curtain it carefully.

Picking up an arduino and 'waste' a couple of days making LED blink can be fantastically relaxing too.
I haven't looked into Elixir so it might not be at all similar, but you might look into F# + Saturn. I know Saturn is heavily influenced by Phoenix. There are a few different data access libraries that might fit your needs: Entity Framework, Dapper, F# Sql Provider, Rezoom.Sql.

Tangentially, I've been extremely frustrated with that.

From the firebase page, you can only create a 'firebase function' using node.js.

If you instead go to the google cloud page, you can create a 'cloud function' using other languages such as python, which will then show up under firebase as a 'firebase function' as well.

What the hell? It is extremely confusing what can and can't be done in google cloud. There is no consistency between services. Half the documentation consists of circular references that explain very little.

I work with IBM cloud professionally and am shocked how confusing GCP is in comparison. I opted for GCP for my pet project because their wavenet text-to-speech is slightly better than Watson's. I am starting to regret that decision seeing how needlessly confusing GCP is.

Oh, oops, I just realized I actually wrote "comic," oops! (My phone really does not like the word conic for whatever reason...) Would be a fun (and uhh, interesting?) challenge indeed, whatever that would entail :)
When did they introduce friend codes? Couldn't you say "Nintendo's online strategy" (should have) started with the original Wii in 2006 and was basically non-existant for years? :)

Only being half-snarky here, I only own a SNES and a GameBoy Advanced.
I've been in a similar situation, and would recommend to take some time off and find a good therapist if that's possible for you.

In the Netherlands it's common to take sick leave and get paid 75% if you're sick for more than 2 months. Insurance covers the sick leave for your employer. I've been sitting at home for over a year now, working on my mental health, and just took on a new job. I can not recommend a burnout to anyone, for some outsiders it seems like I had a year-long vacation. This was definitely not the case, I hated it. It has been very healthy though in retrospect. Before my burnout I hated myself and felt like a complete failure, I thought everything was my fault.

I can highly recommend therapy as well, I've been suffering from depression for over 10 years, and finally sought out help last summer. It's trial and error, but for the first time it feels like I regained some control over my thoughts/life, and make sense of my behaviour.

In the period towards my total burnout (panic attacks/fatigue/depression), I was very irritable, emotionally unstable, drank too much, started taking drugs to handle the stress of working 50-70hrs a week and dealing with my life and deteriorating relationship with a suicidal and junkie boyfriend, amongst other things.

Taking time off, focussing on myself completely, breaking up with my boyfriend, cooking, walking and reading helped a lot. Doing small positive things. I cook for my ex now once a week, I like to see still him and just want to let him know I care about him, also it doesn't take that much energy and benefits us both.

Start saying no to people, define your boundaries, all that matters is you! Listen to your body.
All the best!
Mostly, it seems to be a difference in design philosphy - AMD processors prevent speculative reads of data that shouldn't be accessible almost everywhere, whereas Intel ones allow them pretty much everywhere. This particular attack requires TSX which AMD processors don't have, but I don't think it'd work on AMD processors anyway because they're not missing the security check that Intel ones are. If I remember rightly, there were other now-mitigated exploits for this line fill buffer leak that didn't require TSX.

(The one exception is also interesting. AMD processors allow speculative reads past the end of x86 segments and past BOUND instructions, which of course no-one uses these days. This suggests there may have been a deliberate decision to block them in the more important cases.)

The whole point of a stand up (daily scrum) is to discuss how work is progressing towards a sprint goal. If it devolves into a card-by-card status update meeting, it loses its value.

It is nothing more than the dev team coming together to discuss how to move forward towards the goal. No one else should be at the meeting. If further detailed discussion is needed, save it for afterwards.
Doesn't mean it's not also a cryptocurrency :)

Bitcoin Extortion and Hacked Gadgets: How Blockchain Repels Cyberattacks in 2020
Congratulations on such a cool project. I was hoping to test AppMaker with our functional users when it was first available on GSuite, but shortly after, the decision to remove support for Google Sheets as a data source proved to be a significant barrier. Our low-tech users enjoyed working with Sheets, but did not understand Cloud SQL. I never understood why that decision was made.
It's only faulty if you look at it through very narrow lens. Not every company has FAANG (or even VC backed startup) level of funding to support these kinds of efforts. Telling a small business that they are going to be breaking the law if they don't sit down and open source all of the code for a project they have decided to abandon is preposterous.

A penalty large enough to impact the companies you care about here would be business destroying to a small organization. Individuals and companies are not going to want to assume that kind of liability. I don't see how anyone could support this kind of measure if they are thinking about the breadth of business out there.
I've been writing a series called Notes to a Young Software Engineer, and handling burnout was one of my first posts.

Most importantly, see a licensed medical professional. Burnout is often confused for other health issues, and you may not be dealing with burnout, but rather a larger health issue (e.g., PTSD).

If it is truly burnout, some that work for me are treating my body well, cultivating human relationships, and addressing root causes at work.

Probably get in the habit of washing your hands as much as possible, not touching your face/eyes/nose/mouth, wear gloves when touching things in public places, and washing the gloves every time you wear them. Also, don't get too close to people. I've heard 1.5 meters is a good distance.

Just in case things get crazy, flashlights & batteries, candles, a backup cooking method like a fire pit or camping stove, first aid kit & maybe some paracord, and good knife (you don't want to end up using scissors or steak knives for everything). Maybe extra phone battery things/solar charger and a radio. Also, habitually keep your gas tank over a quarter tank if you can. There's probably a pretty good exhausting list somewhere by fema or something.
THIS...

It is FAAAAR easier to get a job when you have a job.
I'd advise taking some time to disconnect. Full disconnect from phone, tech, internet and just focus on something else. Music, art, exercise, hiking, etc. I went through some pretty rough anxiety when I was laid off for the first time, the most helpful thing for me mentally was noping out onto the Appalachian Trail for a week or so. After a couple of days away from it all, my brain finally started to relax and I came back with a better sense of focus. Ofc, I've always enjoyed hiking so ymmv. But I think the most important part was the disconnection.
