Absolutely 100% this. I worked for several very large organizations, and I am one of those people who just cannot cope with what feels like the pure insanity of it all. I would far, far rather take a huge pay cut for a more sane life, and I did. The alternative is feeling like I'm slowly dying.

Another thing-- even if your job is 'easy', the commute, the drudgery and the psychological stress we've been discussing leaves people like me drained at the end of the day. So the idea of finding fulfillment in hobbies doesn't work out in practice, because the energy just isn't there. Everything feels too hard, and not good enough.

Ask HN: Best service to remove info from online data brokers?
A family member was the victim of highly damaging identity theft which took them forever to correct. Some of the information used by the thieves came from one of the many data brokers out there which thrive without meaningful data privacy laws in the U.S. Removing information from data brokers looks like a time-consuming and slow process, and some of them require you give other personal information to “claim” your account, such as a photo of your driver’s license (note you can black out all the info except your name, something they won’t tell you). What’s the best data protection service out there? And what measures should you take to keep your data from data brokers?
This makes me sad because I'm sure I am doing about ten times as much work as you of a similar nature and getting paid one half of what you are. And there is not much either of us can do about it.

Author here. At the last two companies I've worked at we really needed—and didn't have—a solution for spinning up throwaway Kubernetes clusters that we could use for testing and development. Krucible is an attempt to solve that problem.

Krucible replaces minikube/kind[0] with faster, cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters that are easier to spin up from inside of CI/CD environments and that don't consume a large amount of local resources.

Happy to answer any questions!

When people say gnuplot (not GNUplot) is language independent, they mean it is not tied to the language in which you are creating the data that you are plotting (unlike a plotting library, such as Matplotlib). This means that when you move your simulation from Python to Fortran or Julia or C, you can use all of your gnuplot scripts unchanged. You don’t have to learn about a new plotting package or library. And that’s because it has its own scripting language.
I think central banks cause deflation by increasing money supply through lower interest rates. Here how that may works the newly created money does not flow to wage inflation they flow to investing in more automation software/robots/machines. More automation is deflationary products become cheaper to produce lowering their cost to consumers. Further more, wages are no longer local through globalization so local central banks cannot fully control wage inflation on a global market as cheaper wages products from foreign wages are imported. There has been a race to the bottom from central banks on low interest rates where countries has competed in lowering their currency by lower interest rates. This cycle is now somehow broken.

Interesting that the interest rate will go up and the potential effect on mortgages.
They hire people who can pass algorithm tests, those same people once employeed game the performance review process. You can't fire them because they "meet expectations" but they also have no interest in maximizing their impact towards helping the company succeed.

For example, if the company gives you a goal of contributing to OSS you could add some feature that no one asked for and contribute 200 lines of code quickly. Or you could debug and fix a bug that many people complained about and that may take much longer and may be just a one line change. But your manager doesn't have the time to drill down into the details of that on your performance review. So the bug fixers looks worse than the feature adder during performance review.

You could say the problem is management for having a bad review system but as soon as they update the review system it will be gamed by the people who don't care about the company.

Any of the elements of an ISO 8601 time element can have decimal fractions added to any number of digits. But only the lowest element (according to Wikipedia because I don't have the actual standard in front of me). But you can definitely have a timestamp of 2020-07-23T12:37:55.758145Z

The standard acommodates timezones as offsets from UTC, because it's a representation of a timestamp, not a local time at a particular geographical location. So things like daylight savings time periods are not relevant.

I'm in the same boat as well, and I'm also questioning whether this mindset is something that is best to fix (e.g. through therapy), deal with ("suck it up, work isn't meant to be enjoyable"), or work with (by finding a fulfilling job). I'd love to hear from someone with the same mindset who's found satisfaction in one way or another.

>I don't think you can expect someone to pay for T4 instance 24/7 for some hobby project.

That's a needlessly uncharitable interpretation of what is happening here. The site is giving the misleading impression that these images are generated on the spot, and then walking it back in the fine print.

It's a valid criticism, and lecturing people about the economics is not a charitable engagement with that criticism.
It’s a bitch, ain’t it? But for me, my job pays far more than I’d make elsewhere. Whenever I think about leaving, I have to answer this question: would the other job be better enough to offset the huge loss in income? I haven’t been able to honestly answer in the affirmative.

Having a tech job (really, corporate America job) is pretty shitty all around, I’ve found. Some times it’s more enjoyable than others, but that doesn’t last, always reverts back to the mean. You can rearrange the deck chairs as you like but I think focusing on pay helps clarify things. Ultimately it is why we work, even though many seem to hate admitting that.

I’m thinking of it like how PG describes working in a startup: you can compress a lot of years of career into a short time. I think he meant it more in terms of experience, but I’m talking about money. I’ll be essentially able to retire off 4 years’ work. Seems worth it in the end.

Moving around within the company can be refreshing for a while. Things will eventually revert to the mean as I said, but moving around can help alleviate the feeling of being stuck for a time.
That's a popular perception but it's not totally true. You need to be able to measure improvements you make, which might make a large category of possible improvements untenable from a perf point of view. But if you can show satisfaction scores or latency numbers or action-conpletion metrics or even just customer comments saying it solved their issue, that's plenty reason to attempt the change. The system encourages you not to work on things that "feel good" but instead things that are measurable. There's pros and cons to this as you can imagine.

That all said, I think the bigger problem is a willingness to put out things that don't meet a high standard. Ex: the new web GMail launched while slower than the older one. This was done to get new features out to users faster, but it doesn't feel that great from a product excellence POV. There's no Steve Jobs figure telling us the Pixel 4 doesn't look great and as a consequence we should go back to the drawing board. It's more like there's a set of market survey results and the phone was made to check those boxes.

I'm in a similar jam. I currently use an X201 Tablet, I refuse to move to a newer ThinkPad as the build quality really begins to suffer, and I'll be relegated to a 16:9 display.

I'm waiting for an announcement about the Raspberry Pi CM4, if they offer a model with 8GB of RAM, I'm very tempted to look into designing a carrier board that can replace my ThinkPad's motherboard. It will need an active DSI to LVDS converter to drive the display, and a small microcontroller to act as an embedded controller to read keyboard scancodes, trackpoint input and talk to the battery.
I had this happen on Twitter recently. I was trying to have level-headed conversations about wearing a mask with different people, and after about a week, my account got knocked out.

So the only answer I can give you is "maybe?" because I don't really know how all FAAMGs operate and I don't know exactly how much productivity you are actually seeing.

I will say a megacorp feels much less productive than a startup, because of the amount of overhead involved. Meetings on product design, meetings to coordinate development, meetings to talk about how many meetings we have, a month spent writing perf reviews, launch processes that require buy in from three different PAs to change the color of a widget.

If you've also worked at a smaller company or a startup where you are one of five or ten developers given vast authority and responsibility for broad swaths of a codebase and you spend all day pounding out code, it can feel very unproductive.

The problem is that you can only have something like 20 or 50 developers working on tangentially related projects like that before they stop being able to work effectively.

If you have a software project that needs, say, 10,000 developers to pull off, what you end up doing is hiring 20,000-40,000 developers and having them spend half their time or so coordinating the development. This feels unproductive to the individual developer, because you could be writing so much more code, but it really isn't -- if you had all these programmers programming indiscriminately, you'd be writing a lot of code twice, not writing some code that's needed, and writing a lot of the wrong code. It'd be a mess.

Of course, sometimes things are broken, globally or locally in a megacorp. Sometimes the planning goes out of control and too little actual work gets done even by megacorp standards. Sometimes a project is actually a small project and you have a team of 40 developing something that could actually be developed by a startup of ten. Sometimes things go wrong.

The point being: if you feel like a cog in a machine, well, you're always going to feel like that in a megacorp. But do you feel like a effective cog in a machine that's doing something important? If you don't like being such a relatively small fish, you might want to go back to a smaller company. If you don't feel like you're making a meaningful contribution, even accounting for the necessary overhead, or you don't like what you're contributing to, consider another job in a different or different part of a megacorp.
That's just one of many possible autoimmune diseases.
The description in the press article miss the most important part of the equipment that is a laser grating.

They don't use a standard glass or mirror grating. (I guess the molecules would just get stuck against a surface.) They use a powerful ~100W laser and a retroreflector to create standing electromagnetic waves, that act like a grating.

Also, the interference is not between the waves of one molecule and the waves of another molecule. They could repeat the experiment with a very low power to ensure there is only one molecule flying around, and if they wait enough time they would get the same result. (This has been done with photons. Yes this is weird.)

> What I found most remarkable is that the internal state of the molecule didn’t seem to matter at all. [...] They are spinning wildly and vibrating like a kid on a sugar high.

The rotations an vibrations of the molecule are also quantized, so they are not totally arbitrary. For the calculations, they use only the ground state. I'm still not sure about the technical details, but my guess is that these produce more broad peaks instead of erasing the interference pattern.
A counterpoint is that companies making money through sale of software code alone is the lowest ever. Google loses nothing from open source, as they sell nothing. The biggest companies have moved to SaaS stacks or enterprise sales models. We're seeing less value in the code itself, so the release of it is getting easier every day.

The author states they were banned for linking to their article [1] challenging Flat Earther's to take the "flat Earth route" from Johannes Burg to Sydney and beat the commercial great-circle flight. But what exactly would the "flat Earth" route be? Do they have a consistent claim about what the layout of the Earth is? It should depend on the Flat Earth model someone is using. (Though I suspect they'd all agree that the flight should be shorter than the great-circle path.)

And George W. Bush, a Republican, signed this into law. I remember thinking that strange at the time because I would have thought insurance companies would want to be able to use DNA information and the Republicans being more of a "big business" party would have supported that.

>> [I knew that name felt familiar](https://oregairu.fandom.com/wiki/Hayato_Hayama). Does that mean GPT-3 was trained on an arbitrary, huge database of text? I wonder how copyright applies here.

It could have lifted the name (and some additional context in the generated sentence) from the fandom wiki you link to, or something similar. It probably wasn't trained with the text of light novels; even though you can er find some of those online, they are generally scans and GPT-3 is trained on text, as far as I can tell.

In any case if it was lifted from sources about Oregairu and not the light novel itself, then it'd most likely be considered fair use. I mean, there's a wikipedia article that describes the characters (including Hayato Hayama) and all.

P.S. I haven't read that one. Is it any good?

I used to run a C64 CNet based BBS (Tomcat BBS's were very popular in my area). One thing that CNet did that none of the others did was allow you to buffer ANSI/ASCII keystrokes and then play it all back. This resulted in a 'stop motion' style ANSI art "movies". Some of my users were quite good at making these movies, incredibly entertaining too.

cash values should be represented in fixed precision to maintain the integrity of the transaction and your book, while the prices for securities represent something different.

In securities transactions, the quantity and quote are critical. You aren’t buying securities from Plaid, right?

If you try to liquidate or resize based on the Plaid quote, your brokerage or counterparty is going to provide a totally different quote, and one from a system engineered to provide quotes aligned exactly to the market standards.

Buzzy: Dependency Management for C
You're not always in control of whether your job is fulfilling. Maybe you've been lucky so far, but it's unlikely to last forever.

A piece of advice: The moment it stops being fulfilling for you, you may get the urge to change jobs to something that you think will make you happier. You may change jobs several times trying to rediscover that initial feeling that made you satisfied with your work. But it may never come back. And if it's anything like my situation, in the end, the first job you left may have been the best of the bunch, and you come to the realization that the original satisfaction you had was a fluke and you may never find it again.

There's two ways you could go about fixing this. One is to keep job hopping until you get something that was as good as the first job. The other is to accept that it's just a job, and to try and not derive too much of your happiness purely from work. (Or, more generally, try to not derive too much of your happiness from anything you can't control.)
