I met a guy that was in your situation.

He would wake up with an alarm clock, shower, get dressed "properly", eat etc. Then leave the house and walk in a predetermined path around the block to arrive back at his house for "work". When work was over (at a set time) he would get up, leave the house again, walk the path in reverse, and arrive "home".

ymmv.
I've recently solved part of it by having a fixed end hour for work, which works fine. But apparently there is a related problem, which is that I sometimes end up wasting the rest of the day out of pure inertia. A bit of netflix, a bit of home gym, reading forums and so on. Not a terrible waste of time, but it adds up, and I definitely don't want this to be all.

I don't have much to say on a solution, other than possibly treating your free time in a more "work-like" manner, i.e. with things to do and (softer) deadlines.
> Going from socialism to fascism never was a long walk.

Ideologically, it's a pretty giant gulf. Mechanically, there are some socialist models that are similar (corporatism is the key similarity there, though not all socialist models embrace corporatism in practice, and fewer do by name.)

OTOH, fascism isn't a long mechanical walk from lots of modern government forms.
Cub-icle?? Whats that, I have never seen one in every open office I have worked at.

And unfortunately, Amazon has little incentive to stop that. They don't care whether you buy product A or product B as long as you buy them on Amazon. Given that people compare ratings on their platform, it's a safe bet that they'll buy there whatever they decide on.

The official Vine club hands out 5s on a suspicious scale as well - and even though the reviewers are marked by the little Vine badge, it looks more like a verification check mark than an ad disclosure, likely boosting the signal instead of dampening it.

For comparison, the 2nd/3rd/4th largest distant-water fleets are Taiwan at around 400 and Japan and S. Korea at around 150-200 [0]. Probably the entire rest of the world accounts for less than 10% of foreign fishing.

In my case, in order to overlap my company's work hours, I work from about 1500-2300. So when I'm done with work, I basically wash up, brush my teeth and go to bed.

I have found that listening to some atmospheric music is usually sufficient to help me fall asleep.

Since I get up around 0700 to take care of "normal" stuff, cooking, cleaning, getting groceries, etc. I'm usually pretty tired by that point.

I think the important thing for me is having the routine, i.e. I'm very clear when I'm in work mode vs. non-work mode.

But yeah, sometimes it is hard to switch off, particularly if I'm working on a complex project or task.
> Cities rise anyway - look at down town Seatle for a high speed example, but if you go to old cities in the UK, say Cambridge, and look at buildings 1000 years old, they're a significant drop down from today's "ground level".

Or, if you’re someplace like 1850-1860s Chicago, you just lift the entire city up a few feet to create a new ground level. This too was for infrastructure reasons, but instead of transportation, it was for a sewer/drainage system.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_of_Chicago

This then repeated itself in Chicago (and elsewhere). In the twentieth century, buildings were constructed over existing (and working) rail lines. These are existing example of using air rights to hide infrastructure to make the rest of the city more livable.

That ship has sailed, in my opinion.

Reviews - particularly on Amazon - are meaningless. The cat-and-mouse game has gone so far that as a consumer I see a 4.9 rating as indistinguishable from a 0.9 rating. Buying from an unknown brand is a crapshoot. Buying from a known brand on Amazon isn't much better.

And it makes me wonder how long these black hat practices are going to be useful to sellers. Most Amazon users have to be feeling the same way at this point.

Ten minutes watching YouTube will demonstrate that amateurs are certainly capable of repairing todays devices, even down to something small like an apple watch, so small size and reparability are clearly not mutually exclusive. Why would they be anyway? Certified repair technicians aren't magic, they just have access to training, parts and tools that help.
Interesting project, thanks! But it is also important to mention AdsbExchange as the data source. They have quite a big expenses on AWS to keep it running and unlike FlightRadar24 or similar they doesn't censor any aircraft or take blocking requests by aircraft owners which is reasonable considering this data is public an anyone with sdr-compatible dvb-t dongle can receive them.

Its README addresses that. TL;DR: it exposes a C-API and offers bindings based on that, like pretty much any language allowing bindings would.

Not when people don't thoroughly understand the possible consequences, no. Same as why drug prescriptions are not just recommended, and driving license is not optional.

POSIX, Win32, or PostgreSQL

Interestingly some of my Win32 code broke this week after the latest update was released. It was in a fairly obscure part of the system and I was pushing at the border of what was possible. None the less I have 500 customers running around with their hair on fire at the moment and it's making me wonder why I am continuing in this business.

I have a specific laptop (personal one, apart from the company issued one) for working only, so when I'm done I simply turn off the machine(linux) and turn on the machine(windows) where it's hard to do some work.

When did you start feeling like this? As in, what age were your kids?

With toddlers, how were the responsibilities split between you and your wife? I am assuming she was delighted with having kids since she wanted it so much?

I'm just wondering if you got to enjoy the good parts and mostly avoid the bad parts.
Been WFH for a couple of years, then rented a small office for the purpose of explicitly distancing work and non-work. With COVID-19, back to WFH but now I'm much more prepared.

Success for me meant mentally separating as much as possible work and non-work (not always possible as I can get customer calls or need to deal with urgent problems at literally any hour - such is life of an entrepreneur!)

Physically - separate your work place from the rest. In order or impact:

- rent a separate office (expensive, doesn't make sense now with COVID-19)

- find a few coffe shops, libraries or similar places you can switch between for "work" area (assuming you can work on a laptop) - also not realistic now due to the coronavirus

- have a separate room in a house - not applicable to you as you're in a 1BR apt

- have a separate work-dedicated corner/table/chair in any room in your apartment - I worked for about half a year from kitchen, as it was still at least no in the living room!

Temporally - make clean cuts "going to" and "returning from" work. This can be:

- switching betewen clothes to get in different modes

- taking your dog for a walk, buying groceries, or just taking out trash right after your work

- if there's something on TV that has regular hours and you like watching it (as someone already commented here) - use it to mentally switch off from work mode

- if nothing else, set an alarm, when it gets off, close your laptop, stand up and do a random house chore for 10 minutes, just to think of something totally unrelated :)

Devices:

- it helps if you can have separate devices for work and the rest of your digital life; I treat my laptop as 90% work-related so I avoid using it outside of work if at all possible (phone / tablets filling up the gaps)

- similarly how you want to remove procrastination while working, you want to remove any work-related notifications when not! see if you can stop mail/slack/etc notifications outside your work hours (in my case, i turn off all notifictaions* except pager duty alarms)

In my WHF experience, both before and now during COVID, the biggest problem was working all day, then being less productive during work hours because I know I'll still work all day, then having to work day because I'm less productive during work hours .... this spiral was why I rented an office back in the day.

Every situation and person is different, these are just some tactics that worked for me.
> In many ways, the economic policies of Fascism (and Nazism later) might well be described as "socialist policies run by - and for - oligarchic capitalists".

It would be more accurate to to describe it as oligarchic capitalist policies executed through corporatist institutions (which is very close to the non-Leninist socialist critique of Leninist-style Communism); the similarity to state-heavy forms of socialism isn't socialist policies, but corporatist institutions — that party, state, labor unions, and firms, and any other institutions permitted in society are expected, even if they have nominally separate character, to be coordinated and working together with a unified vision toward a unified goal.
I kind of agree with you (especially on "math-lite category theory" being upvoted by people who read it and feel smart for understanding it), but I think the point has slightly been missed. The blog is a sort of side project, a popular treatment of the linear algebra stuff coming out of the "real research", which is applying the string diagrams to find graphical, compositional axiomatisations of concurrent systems. The programme has had some success with signal flow graphs (even making it onto the blog: https://graphicallinearalgebra.net/2016/09/07/31-fibonacci-a... ) and they were starting to look into Petri nets as my study was wrapping up.

Honestly any service with reviews can be faked.
I have exact times for workday start/end and lunchtime start/end. I just abruptly stop what I'm doing when the hour comes.

Also there are things I want to do after work I'm looking forward to. So I waste no time thinking in-between.

Good point. That's exactly what I'm doing. Almost regard it as given, but of course, some don't have a separat device for work.
But we’d make more money!
Reviews still have one purpose left: On a product I'm about to buy, I'll read a handfull of 2-star-reviews and look for frequent problems and failure modes of the product. If I find them convincing and relevant to my use case, I maybe refrain from buying.

But other than that, reviews are at best useless or at worst criminally misleading.
I posted a negative review of an inexpensive (~$10) electronic device on Amazon. A few weeks later, the seller contacted me with an offer of a $20 Amazon gift certificate to take it down. I didn't respond. A few days later, they offered $30, then $40, then $50.
Technically but there is a matter of expense and lack of crossbreezes for a solid dome and indoor air pollution issues. Active ventilation is a possibility but it seems like it would be of questionable worth unless the outside is far worse.

No backups? Wut?
I don't think there is a cogent risk that general computing open platforms will go away soon.

PCs can be self-assembled without buying them as an appliance from a specific vendor, and you can at the very least install Linux on them. If you care about Windows, Microsoft is adopting open source more and more, you can have install Ubuntu within Windows right now, I doubt they will change course on software installation.

I do have a Linux box in my home and successfully use it for many tasks. This doesn't mean that I feel that all devices that have a CPU in my home must absolutely run unsigned binaries compiled by me.

> While working through a full Linear Algebra course, it is important to develop your own software to do things. That is, some sort of command tool to enter matrices and run operations on them. As you go through a course, you will keep adding operations.

That's definitely possible, but not everyone approaches linear algebra from such a number oriented perspective.

In fact, my linear algebra prof in Uni tried to avoid coordinates (ie numbers) as much as possible. Eg talking about abstract linear transformations instead of emphasising that you can represent them you can represent them as a rectangle of numbers.
1. Debatable, but my (biased) experience is the ease of change in an agile project favours databases with a flexible schema.

2. Reliability is not a pure function of whether you use SOL or NoSQL

3. ORMs hide but do not remove the need for schema management in SQL dbs. They often create more problems than they solve.

4. SQL databases support JSON because it my accurately reflects the programming model that programmers want to use. This is making an argument for NoSQL.

5. Which NoSQL you use is a matter of personal choice in many cases. I prefer MongoDB (I would say that though, I work there). Cassandra has some challenges as it is eventually consistent by design (and default). MongoDB is strongly consistent by design (and default) which makes reasoning about your programs easier.
I guess it's because the bottom and top bar look like their edges are actually touching which should be impossible with the middle bar going between them without it being squished.

You can, you just have to be willing to rewrite history. See git-filter-branch (and don't forget to read the fat WARNING).
We have the same situation. The thing is I have some personal programming projects to unwind too, not to mention I watch Netflix from my browser, not my Smart TV. Switching devices help; I have a work-issued laptop that is strictly for work, and a personal laptop that is exactly for non work stuff (duh, couldn't get any plainer).

When WFH started, like most we were actually caught a bit flat-footed in some respects. So I only had my personal laptop to use for WFH too. Before they issued me a laptop, simple acts like logging off VPN, having a dedicated work profile in Firefox and closing _that_, works to compartmentalize my day too.

Finally, best 150 EUR I spent is on a second-hand trekking bike. Nothing like having a hobby that is so different from your work to enforce boundaries. I have other hobbies too but they are physically too similar to work; aside from hobby side projects I also draw and read, etc, stuff that are just as sedentary as programming. The bike let me explore parks and trails I wouldn't otherwise, and even gave me a quicker route to the gym than if I took the bus.
It's very common for people to learn assembly using x86(-64) but this ISA is so messy, complicated and layered that it always seems like the bad choice to me. It's like teaching an intro programming course using C++, I understand why it's practical but it seems like it will be more trouble than it's worth.

I'd probably recommend getting some ARM or ARM64 board and starting with this, most of the concepts will carry over to other assemblies anyway. Writing a simple CPU emulator for some simple architecture and then coding on it can also be a great teaching experience, if a little more involved.

I find this tutorial a bit oddly structured too, but that may be because I'm from un*x world and I don't have the Windows mindset. It basically goes from "int3 ret" to "The PE Format and DLL Imports". That seems like quite the jump, and not necessarily super relevant to learning ASM IMO.

This is really rather shoddy guilt-by-association - and second degree association at that.

He's a valuable critic and I am certainly grateful to him for i) turning me onto a number of European poets from times and tongues I would not otherwise have turned my attention to, and ii) for sharpening my concept of what poetry is and should be. I don't know what it means to talk of 'cancelling' a writer from a century ago but not to have his work would certainly be a loss.
