I think burnout happens when you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, when every week is darker than the last.

My last job offered unlimited vacation. But if I ever took any vacation I'd get a message from my boss the night before I got back with a laundry list of the things that need attention ASAP - I couldn't really finish relaxing before I was vacuumed back into the soul sucking darkness.

It's still an open point of contention whether an API can be copyrighted. There's obvious benefits to GitHub to encourage the use of a 'gh' command over the 'git' command.
hey, one of the devs that pushed for it here. Fully correct - getting everyone on board and then to actually approve it took a long time and a huge amount of effort. Even then although the code was open source we had been in a pilot phase where we have not been allowed to promote it.
But now it's share it is much as you can
And yes we hope to get a big community externally and internally which will improve the components overall
You don't need to use JSX, it just makes things nicer. But if your project doesn't already have enough complexity that it needs some sort of build tool, then react is probably overkill for your project anyway.
But I get your point. Maybe its better not to emphasize too much about the "trusting their words". Thanks.
The US had a moment to help when the Free Syrian Army existed in the first year or so of the conflict. For some reason, our leaders had cold feet and allowed our natural ally to be wiped out.

The UN was hamstrung by Russia and China's veto power.

No smaller power was willing to take on Russia in a proxy war.
If kart23's objection to complexity is how long it takes to get up and running, I agree about CRA. I agree about knowing the why of Babel and Webpack. But how they work isn't something everybody has to learn.

If it's some other objection to complexity, I'd recommend learning modern web dev using https://mithril.js.org/ which can use JSX, but in documentation the non-JSX form is primary.
I had a similar experience in my youth (just replace the MSX with a C64). The author is right when he says that programming a PC (either in DOS or Windows) was non obvious; but once you realized that the best way was to use a spreadsheet or a database engine, you could get a lot done quite easily.
Those tools may not be as generic as Python or Perl, but you could program whole applications in a fraction of the time.

As for the web, I think it is still harder than it could be, and the browsers make it more difficult every day, since they put more and more restrictions when opening a local page.

I was waiting for the spec to land before working again on this.
First step is to fix the tests:
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/21773

I'll incorporate them into https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200764, test a bit and hopefully put it up for review soon.

This is exciting. We should have all major browser supporting it within this year. Fewer Javascript required.

Well, I am not an expert on that particular subject, but Huawei's CFO was arrested in Canada by the end of 2018. It seems US upped the ante a little and really decided to bring her in to face charges.

Now that would bring some fireworks. I am not convinced China would not respond in kind.

Hard to say. Their bad choices definitely didn’t stop them from shipping quickly but it didn’t necessarily help.
Policies don't disappear the very next day, though. It's not that somebody that relies on some policy will be left stranded at the bus stop because he didn't watch the news that day that the program has been canceled.

RE becoming politically active: it's good to be informed, I totally agree. But that's not something you get from the news. I can't imagine you watching CNN and saying "whaaaaaat? I'm going to call my representative right now". You'll usually have that filtered by whatever organization/initiative you delegate that to. They will relay the important stuff to you and ask you to become active. That's very different from watching the news imho.
I feel this industry is burned out due to the fact that the magic doesn't feel like it's there anymore. If we want a salary we're forced to sign NDA's & NCA's and forego all our personal ambitions to the company.

We have endless pointless tooling for basic shit like writing CRUD apps. Need to make a web app? Install Node to use NPM to install a million and a half packages to write a Hello World example. It's cool though, this project was made by so and so, even though the creators themselves aren't using it in production. God forbid you're writing an SPA, that will be 2 million dependencies. So many noob's entering the work force every day trying to be the next Mark Zuckerberg, constantly cheer-leading the latest worthless framework which is built upon the same old logic used for the past 40 years.

Managers and tech leads suffering from blogitis reading some dumb ass opinion on why he chose React etc.. and pushing the entire team and company in that direction. As far as I can tell, our webapps are still a broken pile of patches just the same as they we're 10 years ago. Only this time around, they're much more difficult to write and maintain.

On top of that we have endless meetings all day, arbitrary 1 - 5 ranking systems, biased promotions and endless arbitrary deadlines. Not to worry though, Agile and all it's pointless complexities to the rescue.

Finally, we have smug spoiled people all over this industry talking down to us about the tech we use and how much smarter they are because they hit the jackpot due to mommy and daddy's connections etc...

It's not the wild west anymore and tech isn't nearly as fun or as competitive for the individual. It's just a choice between the corporate grind or starving startup hipster.
Wait, is this real? What's it called, so I can google it?
>if someone in a bar spreads a false rumor, that misinformation can quickly spread to all the patrons in the bar, but it's reach beyond that bar will be slow. By that time more factual information might also be circulating, and the damage of the false information blunted [...]

I think you're being a bit optimistic about physical spaces here. Rumor mills are as old as the hills. News spreads more slowly IRL, but that goes for truth as well as falsehood. You claim that misinformation spreads faster online than truth and imply this is different from IRL info, but I don't see why this should be the case. The same underlying reasons that favourite one message over another operate in both domains.
Isn't this what TPP was supposed to solve? It's ironic that the Trump admin killed Obama's China containment strategy, only to try to implement it in a half assed way without any allied alignment. Also doesn't help Trump is a highly polarizing figure.

Pretty much describes the Trump admin in a nutshell. Whatever Obama did, get rid of it, regardless of its value, then implement a worse solution instead.
That seems bizarre to me. Perhaps in generalized see roles at certain companies in certain locations and when you are grinding the interview process, but how do you feel it applies as a progression in skill alone?
That's not inherently disqualifying AMZN, they can contract MSFT for that.
Decentralized open source online storage network
Agreed, and the majority of the positive press and Azure being seen as being a more then viable alternative has already been done.

AWS won't be able to revert that change in public perception that Azure has grown up.

That's also the reason I don't understand Amazon fighting the decision, because it just makes them look immature now. Better to move on and focus on providing customer value, keep innovating and build better tech.

And its very likely MS will win this and get another ego boost over AWS.
So pihole then.
it uses the `NetworkExtension` framework to intercept all your communications and potentially modify them.

Yeah if I feel like my snippet could benefit from syntax highlighting I’m probably doing it wrong. I can’t imagine other people would appreciate my giant walls of text/code in a chat channel. I can use a gist, screen share or link to a specific line in a repo if I need to.
Browsing randomly through the content I've noticed that you're discussing impedance, capacitive/inductive loads and transitional states in the DC section (and also fairly early in it). I think it'd be way easier to grasp for someone new to this if it was a section on its own, and after the AC circuits are already well explained. To tackle this properly mathematically and understand it well you need to understand a lot of very abstract things like impedance, phase shifts and complex numbers very well, and IMHO that's much easier to explain on a stable state AC circuits, and then apply that knowledge on the on/off transitions too.
What we need to do custom layout in browsers properly without the need to give up all the nice builtins like font rendering and scrolling and a11y, is simply the ability to measure text properly.
Although I find the claim of tortuous interference as extremely tenuous as you do your description of what is required for an act to be "wrong" is poor bordering on incorrect.

An act can be wrong for the purposes of tortuous interference if it is done to appropriate the benefits of the plaintiff's contract, is an independent or illegal wrong, or if the conduct was done for the sole purpose of injuring the plaintiff.

In this case it will be extremely difficult to proof that Patreon acted solely to injure the defendants.
> Bad choices always bite you at some point.

Good choices too, for that matter. They tend to live until they turn into bad ones.
Being first to market has its advantages.
Do you think other countries would have done better? I'm personally impressed with how decisively China has been handling this pandemic.

Don't mean to go off topic, but general China bashing isn't productive. Lumping together all China related topics as if it was all the grand project of an evil mastermind is only good in the movies.
No no, this one is not an ICO, it's a privately funded currency that was given away for free to anyone who had a popular account on Github!
Facebook kinda tops out as you get older and the rate of adding new friends declines. Turns out most people are doing variations of the same thing and it gets dull fast (admittedly maybe I need more interesting friends).

Twitter is novelty and Instagram is aesthetics. Facebook is reruns of the same ol' show.

This is insane. I had no idea it was that bad. Do you have any sources where I could learn more?

Any suggestions for maintaining sound and video quality when you are interviewing/featuring someone remote, who does not have any special sound or video equipment beyond what they have on their laptop? Would you keep a modest kit with decent webcam and mic that you can mail them with a return label? I've heard of at least one podcaster doing this.

The comments here were as helpful as the original post - thanks all.
Pretending this is somehow how China specifically operates is disingenuous

All the vast majority of people in the "West" know about China is whatever happens to be propagated by mainstream propagandists for current purposes. Ignorance is much more common (and hence likely) than disingenuity.
That’s interesting. I switched ~4 times in the first 5 grades. I’ve never really considered whether it affected me much, but have been highly self aware that I don’t really care about letting go of people. I have a vivid memory of yearbook signing in high school, and just getting tired of it, and when people wanted me to write a personalized message, I just said... eh, and declined to do so.

I wouldn’t have thought this was disruptive, but I also recall manually learning how social behaviors work in 11-12th grade and had always assumed I was just a bit of an aspie
I’m an electronics tech and i feel similarly about music, my hobby is to make electronic music but whenever i wanted to grow my compositions i encountered lots of theory and maths but i realized that without the theory i was limiting myself to just follow instructions. So if you want creative freedom in whatever you do from electronics to baking you need to understand why you’re doing what you are doing.
PeerTube 2.1
My Hue smart bulbs retain connectivity and configuration settings when powered off (via the light switch). If they didn't it would be awful -- you would have to reconnect and reconfigure every bulb in the house after each power outage. I assume the data is stored in some kind of flash memory.
I'd really like to quit Facebook but I'm holding out for three reasons:

a) Facebook Chat is a way to get a hold of friends or vice versa. SMS is often slow (less of a sense of urgency I guess), and not everyone has my number or even use SMS.

b) The network effect. It's a great way for introverts such as myself to get in contact with someone without the "what's your number?" question.

c) Events. If I didn't have Facebook I would probably not know about them.

How do introverts who quit Facebook get over these obstacles?

We left the 18th and 19th century a long time ago. It's not disingenuous to single out China for this behavior since China is one of the biggest player doing it and reaping so much from it in our time.

Plus, whataboutism.
Having discord on a machine is a sign of being a gamer, or any number of other things. VMs have a multitude of legit uses.

These things are not wrong to use, at best what this will do is scare idiot parents, and perhaps put some talented, interested kids off from learning more about computers as a bunch of clueless authority figure in their life freak out about completely innocent computer use.

At worst kids will be traumatised, put on watchlists and strain could be put on family cohesion.

For nothing.
William Shockley’s Robot Dream Helped Launch Silicon Valley
Oh sorry, I am a developer but I forgot to take into account the cost of living too, in my country the minimum salary for a junior developer is 400 dollars, taking into account the cost of living, only the rent and basic services cover almost 3 / 4 of the salary. I don't know how the cost of living in the Netherlands will be, but in my country it is very expensive.

But very good point.

I feel like military tech is another issue entirely tho. And concerns me with what I'm perceiving as an arms race with carriers and fighter jets over I presume China's ability to project power within their naval territory .
In some ways, I actually like bad news. It reminds me of my fragility, immortality, and weaknesses. It reminds me to be thankful of what I have, and maybe one day too join the losing battle of making the world a better place. And for the context of my faith, it reminds me there is a better place I'm hoping to be.
Even beyond militaristic action, there are so many low hanging fruit that weren't picked. It took until 2019 to sanction any appreciable number of people in the Syrian regime. Many relatives and employees of the Syrian regime are happily flying back and forth between Damascus and Europe. Their illicit assets are safely parked in foreign bank accounts. They're sending their kids to LA and San Francisco, buying $2M homes with straight cash and going to the best private schools. Severe sanctions should have hit anyone even remotely involved with the Syrian government as soon as it became clear how many innocent people were going to be killed. Foreign assets should have been seized as damages to be distributed to the Syrian people in the future.
Not sure but I like it.
You just changed my mind a little about Facebook. I mean, I still think they’re a threat to democracy, but you made me see the value of a feed with a small group of people.

All indictments are written like this. Of course the prosecution thinks the defendant is guilty, that's why they're bringing the charges. In an adversarial legal system, it's their job to make the case for guilt.
I’d kill for multiple channels on a screen. I abuse threads regularly just to have an approximation.
Show HN: A JavaScript parser for advanced search query
I think it's pretty hilarious that some companies are opting to allow another company (Microsoft, no less) to see the source of their proprietary code. It's like putting a giant sign outside your building that says "We're not working on anything interesting".
I'm just like you. Friends' family, dogs, humor posts. I've aggressively unfollowed connections who exhibit/show behavior/posts/lifestyles I don't want to be exposed to.

Read "the long and short of it" by John Kay which deals with a lot of the basics around investing for yourself. It's a truly useful book, and I've given quite a few copies of it to people. It is quite UK-centric, but I think the central lessons could be applied in other jurisdictions.
I used to subscribe to the idea that facebook helped you stay close to friends and family. But the issue is most of the friends and family who I want to hear from and wants to hear from me have too much going on to really be active. So the remainder of facebook is peripheral contacts who think that by posting someone's else content (a meme, a political thought, a call to action, whatever) it's somehow valuable to everyone else. I hear marketplace is useful and is supplanting craigslist. But when I look at it, it's full of off-site ads for products I have no interest in buying. Very little of it is actual neighbor to neighbor legitimate items for sale. I deleted the app from my phone over a year ago and haven't really missed it. More importantly, I really fail to see the value that facebook provides.. can you imagine if they'd really pitched to VC's what they've become they'd ever been funded in the first place? "Hi, we are going to attract users who used to forward email spam to all their contacts in the CC line and give them a place online to collect all their BS on one convenient place and then we're going to market all sorts of crap at them."
Pretty clearly Huawei is now the cow that the US and China will be fighting over. Meng is now likely to be caught up in this as well regardless of how the current charges go. The US standing right up to China and punching it the nose. It's an inflection point for the world economy.

You mean like how they muzzled one of the first doctors who tried to warn the public about it, and then that doctor later died of the virus? Very impressive, if that's how you roll.
Portfolio bloat: what's happening to thousands of startups going nowhere fast
There's no advice needed if you find discord on your kid's machine, unless you don't want them talking to other people at all.

This is a poster that will scare the technically illiterate into taking computer access away from their kids.
Another weird thing is that in the early 10’s, people where still downloading warez over Usenet. Maybe it’s still a thing even today.
I'm not really sure what you want them to do in their marketing materials. it's not like Intel keeps it a secret that the hedt parts are just xeons with higher boost clocks and ecc disabled. the general public doesn't even understand what ecc is, nor are they considering buying a $1000+ cpu. I doubt most people even understand hyperthreading (the main difference between i7 and i5).
They may not care about you, but that doesn't mean we can't mold it to meet our needs.

I try to behave on Facebook like it's 2005 again, before the outrage or glamour.

That being said I think it's totally reasonable that the difficulty each of us experiences in trying to exert such control will vary.
Yeah, the real winner of the console war this round was AMD.

CLI Authentication with Auth0
I'm not convinced the hyper-aggressive / snide approch the author is a good idea, if he actually wants access to the data. (Rather than just be showboating to his blog audience, which appears to be the real intent here). Seems like it makes it much easier for Facebook to argue that this is a "manifestly unfounded" request, which is one of the few cases where the GDPR specifically allows refusing a request.
You definitely make a lot more money, some companies also surprised me with how quickly they make money after the first year.
My personal guess would be that the settings are stored either on the Hue hub or within the app you use to connect to it. Mostly because, I've noticed, after someone turns off my Hue bulbs by accident by flipping the switch and then turns them on, they don't get restored to the same scene setting as they were before. I have to manually change back to the scene it was on before being powered off.

On another hand, after reading some articles a while ago that mentioned security issues surrounding smart bulbs (when it comes to selling them to someone after using them in your own home due to some persisted settings), I bet that your theory could be correct as well.
