overall awfully misguided advice. when you buy foreclosure you are buying all responsibilities for the home - past debts, mortgages, liens, future taxes, repairs etc - in addition you are betting that future appreciation will all pay off - not guaranteed at all. Homes are illiquid and a lot of trouble.

no one should just buy a foreclosed home without thorough preparation
Yes, we definitely want to eliminate the electron app. I agree they are bloated and annoying.

The first route for this is running your bots in the cloud, although that will mean we have to process your data (something we don't currently do).

We do want to release a stripped down version that can run with the extension alone, however, this won't support many of the most common use-cases for axiom, like bulk downloading and uploading files.
Which, of course, is a good thing to keep in mind when making that decision.

"I can survive for 5 years on $80k but will I miss ($x) where x could be $200,000-$2,000,000 when it comes time to retire" is a relevant question.
I asked you a question, because you made an assertion that makes no sense. Your answer betrayed a total lack of technical understanding in the field. I made suggestions for how you could fix your issue, you don’t want to fix the issue - you want to be mad at Apple because the world doesn’t work the way you believe it ought to. Have a nice life.
Please also mention how risky your advice is. Refinitiv calculates currently e.g. an implied probability of default of ~14% for American Airlines and there are price targets of 1$ for them posted by some analysts. The gold price is close to its all time high and silver doesn't move much at the moment.

Right, but again, if calculating your retirement is the prime factor when determining what to do with your life, a startup probably isn’t for you anyway. Stick with a solid well-paying software job and you can do the early retirement thing.

I have heard people predicting a collapse of the housing market for almost a decade. I expect some areas will see a rise in prices, and some a fall.

Mass unemployment will cause problems for many, but at the same time lots of countries are essentially forbidding evictions and that has to have a somewhat balancing action for the short-term. How well that will hold up is an open question, and nobody knows the answer.

Immutable Infrastructure is more important than Infrastructure as Code, fwiw.

The latter just means "it's in [version controlled] code". This has a variety of use cases, and it might mean you end up in a quagmire of complexity. It's become a cargo cult thing where I've seen people adopt horribly complex, fragile solutions over practical ones "because IaC".

The former is a principle that basically has no downside, and only improves operational integrity. Even if you're literally deploying everything by clicking in the Console, it's still massively more reliable, repeatable, and recoverable as immutable artifacts.

The next thing I'd recommend before investing heavily in IaC is auto-recovery. The most obvious example is Autoscaling Groups, but any health check combined with an automatic action such as restart or re-deploy can work. This works best with Immutable Infrastructure, and typically does not require IaC.
This is true, but it's worth considering that investments in individual stocks or in index funds (I would avoid actively managed funds) are incredibly liquid.

If I decide the housing market isn't for me or I need to raise cash quickly, I could be forced to wait anywhere from 8 weeks to 18 months, or longer to get any of my investment back (even longer if I don't want to lose money through desperation to sell).

If I need to raise money from stocks or index funds I can get market value for those investments instantly during business hours.
Right now it's actually entirely on-premise, as bots run only on your local machine - we don't process data.

Open-source is something we'd definitely consider - there are many hard technical problems with browser automation that would benefit from open-source collaboration.
Maybe keep the current job, don’t touch the 80k, and spend your free time coming up with a good idea that you can see yourself working on for 5+ years? That’s my advice.
I may be being overconfident, but I feel I can tell you if it's going to be successful (I need to spend some time with the team, first though). That used to be my gig ;-) I'm usually pretty straightforward when I go onto a project and tell management: XP is not going to work for this team, let's try something else. Where I've had difficulty is when management wanted a hybrid approach and usually that doesn't work well.
So that's a minority.

To me, a lifelong search for happiness seems flawed and ephemeral. It's culturally very American, but doesn't seem to lead to happiness.

I strive for purpose, meaning, and positive impact. When I succeed, I'm happy. That drives how I pick my job and how I run my family life. The Frankl book "Man's Search for Meaning" makes a good case for this as a life goal.

I'm not going to my categorical statements like yours. But in my life philosophy, it's not so much important to be happy, as to be a good person and to have a fulfilling life.

But if other people have other values -- glorifying working hard for example -- it's important to respect that too.

I've always viewed Grit through the lens of poverty and achievement, real achievement in the face of real adversity.

There isn't a single thing on his list that counts as grit (based on my understanding) except perhaps in some circumstances programming and networking, even that's with the caveat of using those two as a means to escape poverty. Most of this list are "nice to haves" and grit doesn't really apply:

Running,
Lifting weights,
Writing,
Sticking to a diet,
Developing a wake-up/go-to-bed schedule,
Mindfulness,
Reading,
Networking,
Music (piano),
Baking,
Cooking,
Programming.

Grit is when everything has gone wrong, you're hosed and overwhelmed and the stakes are crucial and you get out of bed and "get at it" anyway. If you have even middle class parents to go home to... eh, then grit is mostly replaced by capital and calculated risk.
That's true. I maintain a couple of obj-C iOS apps (one of those ~10 years old) and apart from framework upgrades (iOS 6-7 was a big one) and dealing with a few deprecations, it's been surprisingly friction-free.

macOS is probably even more stable.

Swift, on the other hand... it's been a moving target for sure, and I'm glad I didn't just rewrite everything (like I did for one app).
Shameless plug here, but I made a quick-and-dirty perf test that does something similar in our HTML5 game engine Construct 3, and it appears to run way faster even with 20000 boxes: https://www.scirra.com/labs/boxperf/index.html

This kind of test is easy work for a well-batched renderer. You can accumulate everything in to a single big typed array, copy to a single vertex buffer, and do one call to drawElements() in WebGL, and bingo, tens of thousands of sprites drawn in one go.

I've got other similar performance tests that can do hundreds of thousands of sprites @ 30 FPS (on a high-end machine), which I believe are bottlenecked mainly on memory bandwidth, because I only managed to make it go faster by reducing the size of the JS objects involved.

Modern JS is ultra fast - if you have the right performant coding style.
That's pretty much how we see it. It's what .ai has become.

Pick one or two ETF and set up a monthly amount to invest into them. You don’t need to invest everything at once and the monthly commitment averages out short term effects. If you want to be more active with a part of your money, you can also commit to buy a couple of stocks monthly. If you get rid of poorly performing stocks regularly and rebalance the portfolio you can declare them as capital losses that will count towards any future capital gains.

I used to be a stock broker. But right now I am not your stock broker. This is not advice.

Great fundamental wisdom is that you can't (consistently) time the market but you should try to Buy Low, Sell High. That said, we experience a massive COVID crash. It's a great time to buy, but we don't know how long it will last or whether it will be long recession afterwards.

Index investing through ETFs is a great way to get diversity in a single financial instrument such as the S&P (large companies), NASDAQ (tech), or the Russell (small companies.) The NASDAQ has largely recovered but the Russell still has a long way to go back to February prices.

I have an old friend whose parents sold their home recently and gave him a sum. He's putting in 10% per month for the next 10 months, all in the S&P.
What you say is absolutely correct ;-) However, I still find it useful to think in these terms. For example, I'm working on a game in my spare time and streaming (most of it) on Twitch. But I'm also making cheese and doing a lot of research for it. I keep thinking of writing a book about cheesemaking because the information available to normal people is by and large pretty awful. So I think to myself, "Are you willing to give up your game in order to write your book?" And the answer is, no. I may slowly write a few things here or there, though (just to reduce the amount of time I spend answering questions on reddit!) But I think a book would be a very bad idea for me even though it is sooo tempting.
Using apps is generally great on a Mac.

It’s very nice for command-line development too as it’s a decent Unix under the hood.

Developing Mac apps can even be pleasant! Xcode has its good points and the APIs are mostly very nice.

The hassle of distributing Mac apps is the only big downside. It’s the same on iOS, but there you don’t have a command line and scripting available.

I recently installed Fedora 32 and I am extremely happy with it. I was not a big fan of Gnome 3 for a long time, but now it seems that the project is mature enough. All the Gnome apps look gorgeous and very clean. The whole interface is responsive and quick.

I tried Windows 10 with WSL 2 for a few months, but the experience is far from being good. WSL is slow and the new Windows terminal needs a lot of polish.

Windows 10 it self is a subpar experience. The UI in general is a mess, all from explorer to control panel and settings. You often find windows and text that look awful on high dpi displays. And I'm not talking about third party apps, I'm talking about Windows itself and some MS apps like Skype. Windows also is not as responsive as I would like. Hitting the windows key to quickly open an app, which is the most repeated action by me, is sluggish.

The only reason I was using Windows was because my Thinkpad had issues with the microphone and speakers on Linux, but now that Fedora 32 is out with a new kernel, hardware works like a charm, so good byE Windows!

The comparison was unfair it was only moving the positions of the rectangles each frame for paper.js, and two.js but for pixi.js it was redrawing them from scratch which means it had to retesselate everything every frame.

I made a PR to fix it and its much better: https://github.com/slaylines/canvas-engines-comparison/pull/...

It is still not the optimum way to do it in pixi.js but it at least matches the other examples now.
That's why we tried to make this library as simple as possible. It doesn't do any state updates besides the positions. You can easily store state inside nodes and change it as seen in the custom node example https://react-flow.netlify.app/custom-node

Well for one you might but it will be incredibly expensive and probably still cover less than in the Netherlands.

Also, the cost means that it is something you can only afford while you are still working.

So if you do get hurt and can't work or get fired you lose that privilege.

That is also a cost of opportunity that you lose by living in the US and that is not factored into the price of the insurance directly.

That’s a great low risk way to proceed, but is lazy in my opinion.

For one, those stocks include weapons manufacturers and other poisonous companies that maybe you wouldn’t want to support.

Second, it detached you from your underlying investment. In my opinion the ability to evaluate businesses is itself worth investing in.

Go pick a sector you are interested in. Compile a list of small - mid cap companies (I.e. companies worth hundreds of millions to a few billions). Read up as much as you can on them. What’s their business model? Who leads them? What’s their current state? Invest in the ones that stand out!

Not many people will tell you this because “investing in the index fund will give you amazing returns after 30 years and Warren Buffet said some!!”.

Your short answer suggests you cannot time the market but over the long run, stocks generally go up so they're a good long term investment. Also this answer touts the benefits of passive liquid investments with transaction costs associate with it.

Your second answer goes completely the other direction. The answer suggests to time an investment in real estate, the least liquid investment with the highest transaction costs a typical investor could buy.

> for every λ there exists an M and for every M there exists a λ such that the resulting problems are equivalent

Sorry, this might be a tad off-topic. I have over the last month being thinking extensively on the topic.

As far as I can see, the above is actually not true. If the trade-off between l(θ) and r(θ) is concave (which might occur frequently for a lot of problems), you will not find all the solutions with the first approach you would find with the second approach. With the first approach you cannot find points on the concave parts of the pareto-curve, while with the second approach you can walk the whole pareto curve. When minimizing a linear combination of losses, you can only find the points on the ends of the concave part of a pareto curve.

Is there a reason the above is not correct? I.e. do you have some more explanation or a source on the "fairly general regularity conditions" you mentioned? It would help me out a lot.
Yeah, you’d think all other manufacturers would just start making trackpads that don’t suck.

This is something I was thinking about lately. I think having the goal of being "not-unhappy" is more personally viable than aiming at happiness. In the past when I was seeking happiness I would just smoke weed and play videogames all day, which felt good at the time but the day after I would feel like trash because I wasted so much time/energy and typically ate straight garbage.
The problem (for me) with index funds is that you end up participating in stocks for companies you may not want. For example, I don't want a penny of my money to go to Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc. Here's the VFAIX top ten holdings:

Microsoft Corp
Apple Inc
Amazon.com Inc
Facebook Inc A
Berkshire Hathaway Inc B
Alphabet Inc Class C
Alphabet Inc A
Johnson & Johnson
Visa Inc Class A
Procter & Gamble Co

It has always blown my mind that the answer for "retirement" now is to put your money in the online casino.

As a father of two young kids, the last thing I want to do is contribute to the erosion of any sense of privacy my kids may have in the future. Using Facebook as a tool for retirement is just as dumb to me as using Facebook for anything else.
That is definitely (mostly) true, but integrated engines like Unity or UE4 also heavily nudge you in doing things their way and come with a non-trivial size overhead (e.g. it is complete overkill to use Unity for your next Tetris clone).

And let's be honest, if you sit beginners in front of Unity they don't learn programming, instead they learn "Unity problem solving", e.g. "Unity trivia" which is hardly applicable to other contexts.

In my opinion, Unity is the Photoshop for game creation, you work on a very high level, but it's also very convenient (if you actually follow the rules and workflows).

But there are quite a few commercial games which use Unity only as a 'cross-platform wrapper', because their game client is more or less just a dumb input+rendering client, and the actual gameplay stuff all happens server-side.

It would be awfully nice if Unity could be split into a couple of standalone products (however that probably won't happen because it doesn't make much commercial sense):

- a low-level platform-abstraction library which contains all the driver-bug workarounds and behind-the-scene-fixes that have been accumulated over the years

- a 'bring-your-own-engine' asset pipeline and editor

- and finally, the actual Unity runtime engine, split into modules
