Rather than going cold turkey, I’ve found it much more effective to find ways to reduce my engagement e.g by turning off notifications for all platforms, unfollowing friends, groups etc.

I’ve significantly reduced my
Social media usage using this because I’m no longer tempted to scratch the itch of a notification, and when I do visit, there’s far less content so I’ll almost always reach the bottom’ now. I basically no longer use Facebook because I’ve made it barren for myself and significantly reduced time spent on Instagram.
The first time I heard about burnout was from a colleague that was just trying to go back to a job after about two years being mentally unable to do any job. It started when one day, arriving at the work, they just froze and started crying uncontrollably.

It was a diagnosed condition. I am always unsure of what people are talking about when they talk about burnout. Is this panic attack that makes someone temporarily incapable of working or is a strong stress feeling that might be solved just by changing jobs?

The spectrum idea makes sense, but the situation, consequences, and ways to help are very different on different parts of this spectrum.
I like looking at my friends pictures on Facebook. But I never understood why I would post any pictures myself. I don’t understand the upside. Even my profile photo is blank.

You started to talk about society and their good or bad decisions in their life, when they buy things. I thought it was interesting then to ask you as an example of society. There was no judgement from my side. And I certainly have no guilt, when i buy a product, that improves my life.

I am not ignorant. Of course i see, that with my buying decisions, i kind of maintain all these side effects, that come from working off this planet. I want the best product that can be created with as little resources as possible. That would be of big value for me.

But who am i to judge someone else's decision to buy something, that they value. I might not like it. It might not a good decision in the long term. I would prefer that certain decisions were not made. Personally i can only try to make things better. I will not become a dealer, who has to provide a good product to my clients.

In any way, i was just curious. No bad intentions.

(and to the other commenter, i dont know what to answer.)

Cheers!

In postwar East Germany, about 1% of the population were reportedly informants for Stasi.[0]

I wonder what percentage of parents get caught up in this. I bet that it's more than 1%.

It definitely wasn’t, which is exactly my point. But neither was the post civil war period.
I'm confused by it too, but I see it in some members of my family. Full grown, middle aged adults, absolutely ADDICTED to their Facebook feed. Sitting in a room full of people and glued to Facebook. I don't get it, but I can say without adult that those who are addicted to FB are also the most unhappy. So I see that correlation in my own life. I don't know that FB causes or contributes to their unhappiness, or if maybe it's an escape for them, but I see it.
Probably, but since Youtube wants you to access their site and imposes region-based restrictions only as necessitated by content providers, I suspect they make it less hard to get around region-based blocks than they might.
Learning to stand up for yourself is more than "Suck it up". I think your comment is in good faith, because sucking it up is the correct response... for someone that is able to do it. But before then a change of mindset is required, and that can be a large undertaking for some people.

What that helped me: - Fitness (starting with simple yoga to learn appreciation for my body, then progressing with weights) - Stoicism, Letters from a Stoic Seneca, Meditations Marcus Aurelius - Committing to memory basic social skills and nuances, The Charisma Myth - Hypnosis and self affirmations

Also I think I prefer "Onward" rather than "Suck it up". If you have any resources that helped you, particularly in social skills, I am always looking for more resources.

To over-simplify, Hobbes' "man in a state of war" is a noble or land-owner, who needs to keep control of his property against the landless peasantry and opposing nobles.

This is reminiscent of how, say, in Athenian democracy, a citizen was a male property owner - and most of the population just didn't count; most people were reduced to slavery (much due to debt actually!). Some of this conception persisted all the way up to the original US constitution - women don't count, slaves don't count but are property etc.

As for faulting Hobbes - you can fault him plenty. There was critical anti-establishment practice and thought, always - in varying forms.
We don't have a natural moderation mechanism for it, and must rely on self-awareness and then self-discipline in the moment. Horribly unreliable. For most desires we have built in moderators, like in hunger you get full, for exercise you get tired, for sex you get a cocktail of chemicals that make you satiated, and so on.

Thinking outside of chemicals, the way we experience the web now is deliberately shallow to keep you moving from item to item, and full of hooks to bring you back before you get engaged in something in a way that would be satisfying.
I think kabdib's point is that the incentives of certification authorities aren't aligned with the purported goal of the certification process. We already have all sorts of certifications (in specific technologies, "agile" practices, etc.) but I don't think most engineers see those certifications as providing any value.

The only thing I'm aware of that seems to actually work is to hold engineers accountable for results and give them the autonomy to set their own process. I would argue that even very rigorous methodologies like NASA's Systems Engineering[0] process match that description.

Some people are more heavily integrated into the platform. My SO is a part of multiple groups based around common hobbies/preference in memes. Although there's a lot of good content in these groups they can get pretty toxic.

I put on a happy face when my parents asked if I wanted to move away in the 6th grade. I was a 'good kid' and didn't want to say no. But I didn't want to move, and moving was a complete wreck emotionally for me.

So be cautious. How likely is she to say 'no' if she knows that you want her to say 'yes'?
It's still a judgement. The difference is the judgement is coming from legislators like Lorena Gonzalez who have the power to propose and pass laws, and who use such issues to raise their public profile and as fodder for re-election campaigns.

In my judgement, you're calling this judgement an "observable fact" because you've got a non-trivial amount of money invested in Tesla based on information divulged in past comments and positions you've taken in those comments. As such, you have a vested interested in the AB5 rules because they impact ride sharing companies that will likely compete with Tesla in the future autonomous rides market.
My point is people can get those things by moving away from the "cool" startups and work for the vast majority of other companies that already treat tech workers incredibly well. Compared to my peers outside of tech, I've always had better benefits and better working conditions than them. People need to realize that many of the "issues" they perceive with the industry are limited to certain coastal areas. It's the same with the "women in tech" issue. In every position I've held (I live in Cleveland, OH for reference) there's always been a balanced representation of developers from both genders.

That is awesome. I remember dialing our beige rotary phone for my friend when he came over after school... Haha he was afraid to dial it for about a year.

Don't really see the problem with this - the optimist in me believes that this can be helpful for parents who might be in over their heads. The leaflet isn't necessarily asking for vigilance to put kids on watch lists, just to give parents and kids some information on what is/not wrong to do.

"let us know so we can give advice and engage them into positive diversions"

As I recall the Library of Congress also has some digital subscriptions on-site, though not Elsevier. One subscription the Library of Congress has that Libgen and Scihub don't have is ProQuest, so you can download theses and dissertations from ProQuest there. I'm not sure that you even need to be registered to use the building wifi, actually, though I'd recommend that too.
My approach is this: I treat them the same as telemarketers. If they call, my phone automatically shunts them to voice mail (it doesn't even ring). If they email, they get flagged as spam.

That only applies to cold-calling, not to recruiters that I've reached out to or have an existing relationship with. I learned many, many years ago that if a recruiter is cold-calling me, the odds are overwhelming that they're a bottom-feeder and have nothing of substance to offer.

I also deleted my LinkedIn profile a number of years ago, mostly because of the amount of recruiter spam I got from it. Doing so has had no noticeable affect on my career.
I've been thinking of these types of quotes for a while now "Amazon found that every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. Google found an extra .5 seconds in search page generation time dropped traffic by 20%." (from this first link in the post)

And kind of thought that no one believes in that anymore, that it was a 90s thing - at least when considering the absolute mad UX that is prevalent today. Some sites must deliberately pretend to process your decision for close to a second just to annoy you.

100ms latency is bad but privacy banners with stupidly obvious dark UI patterns (where they are even deliberately breaking the law) are worth it? In what universe does that make sense? There is something seriously ill with the web today.

Maybe this article is a cure. Not one I imagined but I'm intrigued.

In weakening financial markets (no matter the cause), companies often stop stockpiling talent and employees perceived as overpaid relative to their value (as valued by contribution to revenue) are often let go. There have been large layoffs in the past few weeks at LogMeIn, TripAdvisor and now Wayfair, but for now it's impossible to tell if it is a coincidence or a trend among Boston companies.

They're separate benefits and don't have to do with one another. Retiree healthcare is a rare benefit in the non government world, and is usually classified as OPEB (other post employment benefit).
Also, that theory does not work with the fact, that a lot of burnout victims are social workers.
So you’re intentionally wasting power and time. Cool. Maybe just go outside.
I led with substantive comments. The greater issue is nerds live in an overly comfortable fantasy world, and it's painful to acknowledge the true nature of the power structures we inhabit and are subject to, in all their ugliness. Much easier to distract yourself litigating the sophistry that blankets all of these things. God forbid somebody tugs on the blanket.
I frequent alt.ham.radio, comp.sys.cbm and comp.os.vms (which is quite active). I lurk on some others that are generally used for notifications, such as alt.bbs (and alt.bbs.ads).

I'm always up for more newgroups to hold my interest. Another poster mentioned comp.misc is active, so I'll probably start checking that one out as well.
Thanks! Agreed, the numbers for mobile are significant. Our focus so far was mostly on data collection and cleanup, hence we stayed on building web only. Will spend resources on mobile soon, once couple more features are released on the web.
You see, unless this app is built in a custom ROM, it will cease to work, too! Because it needs to be running in the background and maintain connection to push server.
> all software will be written assuming every user knows at least some scripting.

I don't know if that's what the answer is. I prefer the idea that computer usage naturally flows into computer programming. Take the most used programming environment in the world: Microsoft Excel. It can be used very simply as a table of words and numbers, but if you want to do more with it there are formulas, and when you reach the limit of that there's VBA. We used to have tools like HyperCard that allowed people to build simple GUI applications with no traditional programming language whatsoever, but also had one baked in for when you grew beyond the WYSIWYG editor's capabilities. That sort of thing basically no longer exists, and to the extent it does it is merely a copy of what existed before instead of an evolution.

> Often I clone a piece of software because I want to change just one thing, or even if it's open source I often need to set up a build environment etc... and I just wanna change like one integer!

Yeah, it'd be really great if more software was written with flexibility in mind. I want to have an API for interfacing with everything, I want to setup my own custom hotkeys, etc. I can kind of get there today with things like AutoHotKey, old Macs had AppleScript, Plan9... existed, but it is kind of ridiculous that this sort of thing isn't baked in to modern computing.

Those surveys are misleading though. I have a relatively small amount in my 401k because I have not been in my current job for long. Every time I change jobs I roll over the 401k balances into an IRA. So... unless someone's been in their job for 5+ years, their 401k balance may be very low.
I'm not entirely sure what the disconnect is here, but I'll give it a shot.

Parallel computing is simply running more than one aspect of a computation simultaneously, it requires multiple processors/cores, or SIMD. Concurrency is doing more than one thing 'at a time', and this generally includes things like callbacks (to allow more work to be done while waiting on an action) and preemptive threading (which may or may not involve true parallelism).

Concurrency is an opportunity to work in parallel, one which may or may not be achievable. I consider threads a bad concurrency primitive, because they're too low-level and hard to get right, and this becomes even worse when one runs threads in parallel.

Actors, which are a share-nothing concurrency model based on message passing, are a good concurrency primitive. Among the reasons for this are that one can put them on threads and not have to deal with locking and unexpected mutation. You can treat them as an implementation detail that happens below the level the programmer must concern themself with.

This means they're good for running in parallel, as well, which is quite tractable on a single machine given that it has multiple cores (mine has eight).

Colloquially we sometimes say 'parallel computing' when referring specifically to so-called 'embarrassingly parallel' tasks, like some rendering algorithms, where one may bring as many cores to bear on the task as one has available.

But concurrency is always an opportunity for parallelism, and an actor model allows one to take that opportunity given that other aspects of the runtime don't stand in the way. And parallel computing is simply running more than one computation at the same time, it doesn't by itself imply anything else about the algorithm.
Six Steps to Master Your Passion
There were still a lot of flame wars between known people.
No, I want to be clear, I certainly was not arguing that point, just making the point that I view the current state as an advancement over where we have been, in relation to past web development trends.
I agree. I am less glib and more quiet now than when I was younger and get crowded out of meetings quite quickly. I used to just speak my mind, but now I prefer to mull things over.

Reddit is also like Twitter. Karma has certainly evolved into a game. The focus on Reddit has always been to shift content to the "new" topics as well.

The primary difference between Reddit and Twitter, at least for me, is that I somehow became addicted to the former and could care less about the latter, despite trying.
Counter point: I've used Slack at several jobs and in several other group settings, and never met somebody who loved it. People like that they can message groups, separate threads into channels, but Slack the client feels like very slick enterprise software at best. (Contrast cases in the chat/productivity space: Discord, Telegram, Notion, Airtable, Coda)
We don't plan on excluding any established companies, the filters will be expanded and you will see more categories soon.
For comparison's sake, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is provided across the country except in Quebec (because ofc Quebec has its own thing).

The current contribution rate is 10.2% of your gross pay, it's been 9.9% for at least the past few years but it's being bumped slightly over the next few). If you're an employee, the employer will pay half. That rate is only applicable on income between $3500 and the earnings ceiling of $57,400 (adjusted yearly based on inflation), so this year's maximum total contribution is $5497.80 - again if you're an employee you'll only see half of that deducted.

The Government keeps track of your total contributions, and you can opt to start receiving pension payments back at age 60, 65, or 70 - the later you wait the larger the payment. Generally speaking, you look back at all your contribution years, average your income compared to the earnings ceiling, and then scale it up to the average applicable income over the past 5 years, and the baseline is 25% of that. So if you retire in 2 years, and the average applicable happens to be this year's value, and on average over your working career you earned 75% of the applicable amount, your pension would be (57400-3500)0.750.25, or about $10k/year. Your income this year would have been about $43k, so that's reasonably close to 25%.

Funding is a little weird. The baseline plan is funded so as to supposedly not require increased contributions (but require that contributions do continue perpetually), but they're also adding an enhancement in 2023-2024 of 8% of income earned over the standard earnings ceiling, to a limit of 14% of the earnings ceiling, which is supposed to be a fully-funded benefit.
Using something does not mean liking it. I hate Slack with the fire of 1000 suns but still use it
