I created this image for a post I wrote on FreeCodeCamp this week (https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/alternative-career-paths/), but I figured it might be worth sharing on its own.

Burnout in software development is a real problem. I for one just left the field to become a writers, so I created this for myself as much as the other devs who have asked me about career changes in the past.

Hope this helps someone out there!
Interesting, I wonder what happens now that Moore's law is considered dead and we can't rely on computation power increasing year over year. To make further progess with general purpose search and learning methods we will need lots more computational power which may not be cheaply available. Then do we focus our efforts on developing more efficient learning strategies like the one we have in our minds ?

I do agree with the part about not embedding human knowledge into our computer models, any knowledge worth learning about any domain the computer should be able learn on its own to make true progress in AI.
Doesn't that also mean the very act of "deleting" the blog is disingenuous? If deleting the blog doesn't meaningfully impede accessing the blog articles, then what's the point, other than drawing attention to the situation?

> The ruling means that for the first time much of eastern Oklahoma is legally considered reservation land. More than 1.8 million people live in the land at issue, including roughly 400,000 in Tulsa, Oklahoma’s second-largest city.

So does this effectively create two different rules of law over the same land...?

Like how does this work?
This is a mistake in the understanding of the situation. The NYTimes and all major press outlets anonymize sources. For example for this article, the NYTimes journalist gave people who spoke with him about SSC the choice to remain anonymous.

The article was going to frame Scott as a subject. The real debate is if subjects of articles also deserve full anonymity. The NYTimes' policy is to generally not give subjects a right to anonymity.

The New Yorker article author does bring up another article the NYTimes published about Chapo Trap House where host Virgil Texas was one of the subjects but also given anonymity.

The question is if the decision not to give Scott anonymity as a subject despite others receiving it in recent history is one borne out of maliciousness, callousness, incompetence or a cultural disagreement between NYTimes reporter and an internet blogger.

This doesn't reflect what I'm seeing at all - in fact I'm seeing basic ARM intrinsics still being added to the Graal compiler in the last few weeks!

I usually test whatever subset of code could be tested with less than about a dozen of test cases. If it's larger then test logical parts of it with mocks in the leaves. For small projects it could be usually a single controller with only some mocks on the edge of the system (database, external APIs etc.). Refactoring the code where there is one test suite per class could be a nightmare.
Thanks for providing this summary! :)
“Indian Nation” is sometimes used, if I understand correctly.
Nothing drastic. The real consequence is going to be to the state criminal justice system, where and who it applies to. Federal laws will still apply.

Here's most of it:

"Tribe members who live within the boundaries are now set to become exempt from certain state obligations such as paying state taxes, while certain Native Americans found guilty in state courts may be able to challenge their convictions on jurisdictional grounds. The tribe also may obtain more power to regulate alcohol sales and expand casino gambling. "

I think this might be the biggest reason. With B&M falling like flies left and right, people are shifting their investments. I don't think it's limited to "wealthy people" either.

I'm sure the Fed's buying spree/inflation is a factor as well, however. Interesting times.

I worked at Palm on WebOS. If this is the same engine we got for WebOS (which is also what Android phones had afaik), it was still enormously power hungry, slow, unstable, and ripe for security exploits. I’m not sure I’d buy the claim that you met their requirements as security would be a big one, especially since Safari already had a huge attack surface for quite a while on iOS and Flash integration would effectively be increasing that many times over.

I get that you're angry, but this is unsubstantiated by anything you or the article says.
Right, but we take a mortgage with them because we already use their other services. 10 cent funeral insurance is a gold mine. I suppose they will stay ignorant until some random tech giant lets you buy the house from the street and unlock the door while drones fly in your belongings.
In their defense, we had a bunch of drives coming in in a month. It's just that we ran out of spares faster than expected (we had to increase capacity in a couple servers on short notice).
Native Americans had wars and conquered each other for millennia before white man came. It wasn't some unified utopia in the Americas like Pocahontas leads you to believe. It was a huge cycle of tribalism, conquering each other, and bloodshed.

So... because they were conquering each other first, a technologically superior entity isn't allowed to conquer them?
Thanks for that info, I had no idea it was that bad. It's horrible yet understandable, with so many underpaid, overworked sysadmins out there (i can count myself as one of them).
Yet take-out is also the same price and doesn't require any of that overhead. Although you are saving on a "tip", which is yet another weird fee attributed to a third party rather than waitstaff just earning straightforward wages - cost-responsibility-dodging is rampant in this industry. What's probably driving this dispute over commissions is that restaurants still need to pay for that dining space during Covid, so they're fighting over that "spare" $6.

> All businesses spread their costs out among customers in different ways. There's nothing inherently "hidden" about it.

The restaurant is front and center as being the provider of the food. The delivery service is explicitly stating that this food costs one specific price, and delivery another specific price. Meanwhile this breakdown is false and arbitrary, with a seeming goal of misleading customers about how much getting your food delivered actually costs.

> And again, "scummy terms" in no way implies lack of competition. Not sure where you got that idea from?

Effective market competition generally results in reasonable terms, due to many meetings of minds. A lack of reasonable terms shows there is not effective competition over the relationship. If a restaurant could instead sign up with a delivery service that didn't front-run their customers, they wouldn't take to writing exasperated blog posts about it.

I don't doubt that restaurants are paying big fees to the delivery companies, but the delivery companies are still losing money on every order. The predatory pricing is that they're charging too little, not too much. That's how you get this pizza arbitrage stuff. Now some of the other practices of the delivery companies like setting up fake web pages for restaurants are really objectionable, but I think that what's happening now is a separate problem.

Ultimately though, the problem of the pandemic is that restaurants need customers to pay for both the dining room and the delivery, and that's just too much money. If you're running a cloud kitchen, you don't expect to be able to get the same amount of money for a meal as a sit down restaurant, but the sit down restaurant is now providing the same product as the cloud kitchen.
A treaty is a tool, it's 'how' to achieve something, not 'why' achieve something.

The reasons are as per my previous comments, and also as a tool to displace native population (in effect ethnic cleansing) and to grab land, as is for example the case of the treaty you mention.

It seems to me that simplifying the entire Scott Aaronson affair was necessary, since it was just a brief part of this article. I thought their choice of simplification was reasonable and in good faith, but of course others might disagree (and unfortunately, whether we agree or disagree is likely to be effected by our overall level of agreement with the article).
It's also disappointing how little has been done to close the racial wealth gap from the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. It seems the gap hasn't changed much since the 1950s and 1960s and I don't see how it gets better short of a massive reparations package and investment in building up distressed communities.

Why would training wheels increase reliance on other people? As I understand it, that is what self-reliance is about: Not being dependent on others overmuch to solve one's problems. If that training wheels bike gets them from A to B for just a few rides, and cost/benefit of learning it properly just doesn't work out for them, they'll look silly, but otherwise ... fine if it works for them? That wouldn't fly for a bike courier, but then, most people aren't professionals using self-managed IT either, and employers pay specialists to do this properly. I believe most people only need their private devices for very light usage.

I'm not very familiar with Android tablets and the people in my set of anecdata all got iPads, so that skews my perception towards Apple I guess; I didn't intend to sound like an Apple ad. Personally, I'm a strong adherent of "whatever works best" when it comes to computing products, and I'm quite opposed to sticking to one camp or other out of principle. I'm sure all of this is perfectly viable with Samsung devices as well, I believe they actually have a walk-in service point where I live, but I lack the first-hand experience.

At any rate, there are those people who will not invest the time and effort to become capable sysadmins, for whom the learning curve will be far too steep and tall, who may be fluent in a language for which little good studying material is available, those who'd stop too early and just be dangerous, and those who invariably end up with a dozen shady toolbars if left to their own devices and can't be taught otherwise – and lots of those who only need their devices for some light usage in their private time, hence couldn't justify spending so much of their spare time on making things work. Computing is basic infrastructure like automotive mobility nowadays; people expect being able to operate a car with very basic technical knowledge, why should computers be different?

I believe these people do gain a measure of autonomy and security from buying into one of those ecosystems. Less problems to begin with (devices/OSes are harder to break), issues are easier to fix. If that doesn't suffice, less reliance on unreliable third parties like shady "computer repair" shops or that acquaintance who knows computer stuff, instead there's a place to turn to for help that operates on actual processes and is pretty dependable to produce some solution, even if it might not be the cheapest, fastest, or best one, whether that's a Samsung Service Point or an Apple Store or whatever others offer. Maybe that doesn't strictly qualify as self-reliance, but it would seem to be an improvement regardless.

And as the "guy who knows computer stuff" for way too many people, it selfishly feels like a big improvement for me, since I'm no longer needed in that capacity. I'm getting very much out of touch with Windows, anyway, and haven't been able to help at all a few times of late; fixing aging laptops can be fiendishly hard.
I agree with the author that Scott definitely knew what was about to happen. He has consistently tried his best to "leash" his followers, but the response has been quite harsh nonetheless. And the whole SV + conservative politics vs. old media angle has made the situation even more intractable.

Court decisions in the US (As in any other country in the world) are made in the context of the current social climate.

Likely very little. There's about 20,000 people who report Native American as their ethnicity in Tulsa, and likely the number of tribal members is lower.
Parts of this read as a smoothed-over hit piece. An honest and comprehensive effort to rip apart and debunk neo-reactionary ideology is painted guilt-by-association style as "possibly legitimizing" or "describing" it. "[Exploring] and [upholding] research into innate biological differences between men and women" is "[giving] safe harbor to some genuinely egregious ideas". Asking people to politely contact the editor of a major newspaper is "incitement". Not to mention the sheer bravado of simultaneously claiming that everybody involved is a grandiose conspiracy theorist for being worried about being targeted and misrepresented by the news media, while doing all of the above and providing direct quotes that show them being targeted and misrepresented about whether they "recruit people for white supremacy" in the comment section. This is being a "professional journalist", but disputing this narrative is being "quarrelsome" and "agitated". The writer admits that "a reporter would want to make them pay for" tolerating extreme positions in order to show how those positions may be mistaken.
I wonder about that. Right now, the fact that the Nations don’t have direct representation in Congress (yes, I understand citizens can vote in the state the reservation resides in) makes them appear more like subjects of an Empire than as coequals in a Republic. I think a lot about how to improve this. I think a lot about how to truly reckon with genocide and yet coexist. If anyone has resources about how to improve this, let me know!

I don't have any statistics, but based on the amount of learning articles, books, etc. out there it seems like Vapor is the dominant Swift Web framework. Kitura looked promising, but IBM has stopped supporting it, so its future is not clear (the last commit to the main branch was in November 2019). Also, the two main Vapor devs are members of the Swift Server Work Group (with the other two being from Apple): https://swift.org/server/

I'm not sure how to answer your question regarding whether Vapor is viable for indie hackers, because I've only been skimming the docs and looking at small examples. But it seems to draw a lot of inspiration from Express.js and/or Ruby's Sinatra library. It doesn't seem to have the up-front complexity of something like Java's Spring Framework, although I understand you can use services and dependency injection if needed. So my first impression is it's easy to get started, but it enables you to refactor to something more complex if your application demands it.

When I was lifting, I used my phone instead of a notebook. Of course, I used a simple note taking app, not anything designed or built to purpose.

It's amusing to see this wave of products; does anybody remember Wii Fit, the balance board, Playstation Move, etc? There's long been a market for gizmos and gadgets that are intended to make physical activity more "fun" via gamification. There's always going to be a market for the latest fitness fad, and the trick for any company wanting to make a buck here is to keep evolving their "gimmick" to recapture imagination every so often (rather than selling a single trick which people will get tired of eventually).

I think these toys may actually help people become more fit, FWIW. Some people only need a little nudge to get moving, and a gizmo might just do the trick. Anecdotally, I feel like the most successful gizmos in this class are the bicycling video games, which may have to do with the fact that the core elements of the sport are easier to simulate well than most other activities.
Awesome! I will try it over the weekend. Thank you Mehrdad
