This is unjustifiably a lot more expensive than the similar HP Envy 13 or Envy 15.

You can get an Envy with a Ryzen 4700U (the 8-core 15W CPU), 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB PCIE NVM SSD -- for less than $900.

I've been thinking of a pandoc-like tool to translate between languages, i.e. a transpiler.

You would need to write down the most general abstract syntax tree (AST) that encompasses all supported languages' features, as well as a way to read languages into this AST, and write the AST into languages.

The cool thing about pandoc is the ability to transform the AST between the read and write. In the context of a transpiler, that might mean that you transform the AST to be safer (e.g. adding type-checks in Python) before writing out.

That would be a very tedious tool to write, given that every language has its strange behaviors. But it might be a fun project if you limit the number of languages you support.
RIPscrip never took off in my area; but I still BBS to this day and it seems to me that it failed to stick.

Consider the LORD dragon presented in the article in both ANSI and RIP: the _ability_ chasm between the artistic representations is enormous!

ANSI was lovely because it was only a small abstraction beyond text; and the chunky lo-fi art made it accessible to many, without getting ugly.

Consider nowadays where the low-ability alternative to that high fidelity dragon would likely be rendered in shaky mspaint blobs. There's good reason we don't see much of that, and yet in the days of the BBS there was ANSI _dripping_ off the text.
My name is Ilya, CEO of Student Emotions. Feel free to ask me any question.
I made this app to help online schools make their classes better and more engaging. The interviews indicated that their content is already good, now motivation is a challenge. I believe when online school understands student emotions they can make more what is interesting and engaging, and less what is boring or not interesting.
Europe invests 1%-2% in their military.

By comparison, Russia invests 5%-6%, but it's GDP is similar to Italy, i'd claim the "stick" ( if required) is a bit larger than you might expect :)

After all, it's mostly a numbers game.
Having worked on multiple systems that have done similar things to this, I'd fall on the side of no!

If you're not really careful the assertions will quickly obscure the actual logic (as does logging), a careless engineer can easily add a bad assertion and fill up your monitoring system, another careless engineer can write a complicated but broken assertion without any tests - they've all happened to me on multiple production systems.

Eiffel style pre and post conditions might be a solution as the assertions are kept away from the main code path in the method signatures - but at that point a modern statically typed language might give you more value (preferably with null safety and sum types).
Business logic that works in tech doesn't apply to museums. The ancients aren't making more and better history every year.

If you sell an irreplaceable object to make a profit at the end of the quarter, you can't just buy a new one when times are better. On the other hand, the ancients aren't making more history, so your collection never goes out of date. If you lay off all your staff, as long as you keep the collection in good storage conditions, you can hire new staff a century later and reopen just fine.

Museum policy that prevents dumping of assets is good policy. A museum that sells its collection is no longer a museum.

I'm not sure that's quite the scenario the parent posited. But there is something of a middle ground where you don't necessarily love/are energized by every hour of every working day but you like it well enough on net and you have the flexibility and financial freedom to do things outside of or adjacent to your day to day job that you want to do.
Matchmaking without custom servers/lobbies makes finding a match even harder, since a minimum amount of users in a specific ranking/skill level/ship tier/whatever must all be online and searching for a match at the same time. Custome servers and lobbies allow just one or two players to start, and it advertises to other players that they are available to play. The initial players just need to wait until more people show up, and can play more casual game modes or with bots or whatever until more people arrive.
One piece I found particularly fascinating "The share of moderates who self‐ censor increased 7 points from 57% to 64%, and the share of conservatives rose 70% to 77%, also a 7‐ point increase. Strong conservatives are the only group with little change. They are about as likely now (77%) to say they hold back their views as in 2017 (76%)."

I do wonder the effect this has on polling in the U.S. - if conservatives are the ones most unwilling to express their true opinions, say on who they are voting for, then someone like Trump might be underestimated in the polls again and liberals might be in for another shock come November.
Nature heals itself over time: trees grow back, endangered species grow their numbers, etc. Even deposits of fossil fuels reconstitute themselves, albeit over millions of years.

So nature isn't exactly a fixed pile of resources that we draw from.

The earth isn't a closed system. Sunlight, which is for all intents and purposes infinite, is a vital resource for the world's food supply, plants, and everything that depends on them.

With 7+ billion humans on earth, if you knew nothing about the water cycle, you might think that the oceans would run out of water in a few centuries. But ocean levels are rising, not falling. Because much of the water we consume goes back to nature one way or another.

It's more complicated than zero-sum.

Feeling like you're not doing well at something is a key motivator towards growth & getting better. And yet through growth you have to grapple with the truth -- you're not doing as well at something as you could be. Some days I really struggle because the more you're growing the more you'll deal with intrusive thoughts that originate in that growth. Like you said -- keep going :).

I'm currently in therapy for work/career anxiety so I can weigh in on this. I've always felt like work should be fulfilling, as long as I can remember. It was around 5 minutes into my first job out of college when the feeling of "this isn't right" started and it hasn't left yet. I started trying to get over it but from working through why I feel this way with a CBT therapist, I believe I just need to follow this. I've found some satisfaction in I'd say 3 things:

1. Knowing that I'll always feel this way and always have a need to do something meaningful. It's my life and I get to decide what's important. This might not sound like much but just cementing that I don't need to change has helped me get through bad days.

2. Starting to make a career change. I'm going to try to get into med school, and to get healthcare experience I've just recently completed an EMT certification. I absolutely loved this class. Such a diverse group of people all from different backgrounds who also just want to have direct impact on someone's health. My therapist says I sound like a totally different person when I talk about how EMT is going. I think about that a lot. Last week I got to help a stranger with heat exhaustion and she was incredibly thankful, I think about that a lot too. Just starting to take the first steps towards something more fulfilling has been huge towards giving me something to wake up excited about.

3. I now treat my CRUD app office job like how most people would treat selling stuff on Craigslist - I do not care about it beyond the paycheck. I don't think about how it should provide any fulfillment. I don't think about being here a year from now, or even a month from now. It won't matter in the long run.

Possibly some of these things can be applied to your life as well. Hope this helps.
I ran a Maximus board connected to FidoNet for a few years. I lost the ansi menus. They were purposefully more simple than what was around, but I thought they were elegant and pretty. Upgrading to rip killed the board for me. I shut it down within a month of that.
AWS S3 buckets have a limit of 5gb/s access to a single bucket.

Unless that limitation has changed in the last couple of years; I can easily make a system beat that, if that's the requirement.. and ultimately it does come down to understanding requirements. :\

I think generally people forget that cloud is just computers too, it's really not anything special, and amazon/google/microsoft are solving the general case (and, doing so well, actually) but this comes at a high premium.

I can't alter a watch face - i.e. alter the fields displayed. I'm not wanting to download a new face, just alter one already download and present in the app and on the watch, or alter any data fields around specific activities.

I get syncing to any 3rd party service is clearly totally out unless I manually transfer the .fit file via USB and I understand why this would need their servers, although it would be good if the mobile app allowed transfer of these files, without requiring a laptop and USB cable.

There's no reason for the entire mobile app to be totally and utterly broken because their servers are down. There's a huge amount of functionality in there that should just work locally without needing an internet connection. I can't even set an alarm via their app without it needing an internet connection!?

This is a side-effect of hiring smart people to do simple work.

These companies optimize for hiring people who've spent their live trying to beat the next "level" of their lives with a bigger score than all of their peers. And once you have them, you make them QA the game of life on easy mode. Some people will invent some meager challenges to stay sane, and others will just be bored and miserable without a challenge and the prestige that comes from overcoming them.
Yes. I worked at amazon from 2015-2018. I worked pretty hard the first 6 months. It was my first job out of college. There was a lot to learn in the beginning. 8-12 months in I was barely doing any work and I knew several people who hadn’t done any work in months and sometime even a year or longer.

The thing is a lot of projects get over staffed and work gets split up with too many people. It’s also not an environment where you are allowed to take initiative and take on work yourself because a manager pretty much has to assign you work (every piece of work or project is someone’s promotion project) and how they assign work and to whom has a lot of strategy behind it.

The only good thing is the pay. The pay is so high you can FIRE pretty quickly.

It got boring pretty fast. Since your there already I would suggest saving money as aggressively as possible while you figure out what to do next.

It still amazes me why so many people like mechanical keyboards, I hate them because they are loud and require much more key travel to type - and that slows me down a lot.

I only use keyboards that have low-key travel and are silent - basically anything that resembles laptop keyboard.

EDIT: Sorry for sounding a bit harsh, but keyboard-without-numpad != mechanical keyboard, which are quite niche, I wasn't aware that a niche product has a also niche variation - lack of numpad :)
I guess we could ask, what is the metric of greatness for art? Quality of work? Popularity?

> ScaleForm

Glad this is no longer a thing, still remember playing Borderlands for the first time and thinking the UI was really janky and unresponsive feeling, then I googled ScaleForm because the logo was at the start and I hadn't heard of it and suddenly it all made sense because the UI had that jank that was really unique to poorly coded Flash content.

I'm pro Flash on the whole because of the explosion of creativity in the web game scene but ScaleForm was one case where the technology made a few engineers lives easier at the expense of making the end user experience way jankier.

Sigh. It's local weather versus global climate.

In my country it's quite "cold" (for the season) where I live, whereas just 300km south it's hot summer weather as per usual.

Also saying the summer is extremely cold when it's not even over yet is quite a stretch - there's about 6 weeks left, 4 of which could just as well become hot.

I should probably have been clearer, but that was my point--the fact that "drug dealer" is too broad a concept. Even though some dealers are definitely career criminals, and some might also commit violent crimes, lumping a large majority of them in the same category as murderers is what got you (and other countries to varying degrees) into the whole mess in the first place. It is rhetoric only meant to scare people and shut down thinking.
Signal Pins: Is Secure Messaging at Risk?
What do you consider underpaid? Is it when you're making significantly less than people in similar positions somewhere else on the globe? Is it when you're in a low income percentile of your country / geographic area, taking the skill into account?

I tend to think it's the latter. I'm one of those devs in Sweden. I certainly make less than developers in the US, especially those in SV, and my effective tax rate is higher than for SV devs, even if California is considered a high-tax state. On the other hand, I'm firmly in the top 10% of earners in Sweden. Am I underpaid? By the first definition, certainly. By the second definition, not at all, even if my income is roughly 3x of the lowest-paid workers.

Then again, I approached the whole situation from the point of view where I first consider where I want to live, and then look for a job there. One could certainly take a different approach and go where the money is.

I also don't think it's that easy to get SV-level salaries for remote jobs. All-remote companies are perfectly aware of different economic circumstances in each country, and aren't keen on offering 100k$ to someone in a country where 70k$ is already an above-market rate.
