I was in the same situation (though a bit later in life than you), and here's my advice.

1) Reduce working hours. Do this immediately. Every day you work 14h+ will extend your burnout by weeks, so stop now. Yes, dropping your working hours may affect your work output, but it's completely worth lower performance at work. A bad performance review is nothing compared to long-term burnout.

2) Take a break. At least a month. More is better. Many startups with successful exits are good about giving sabbaticals to the high performers that got them there.

3) Spend some money on therapy. With that much money, even if therapy does nothing it's still worth it. For me, even the weekly break to go to therapy was useful.

4) You don't have to spend the money on anything right now. I suggest depositing a portion of it into index funds on a monthly basis. You don't need the added stress of figuring out the perfect investment method, and with that amount of money nearly any safe investment will provide a passive income you can live on for forever.

5) I urge you to consider leaving your job. If the politics and coworkers really suck that much, then why do you even want to be there? There's always a few other companies in the same field, and one of them is definitely a better environment. Getting a startup to a successful exit makes you more than qualified to work at one of these other places.

6) Take some time to realize how fortunate you are. Realize how much room for making mistakes you now have. You could take the next 5 years completely off and still be ahead of nearly everyone in the world financially, and career-wise.

I am partway through recovering from the same situation. At the startup, I was a high performer, but occasionally got bad performance reviews due to politics and burnout. Looking back, I should have taken care of myself and aimed for even worse performance reviews. Bad environments don't deserve your stress and hard work.

Eventually I left, took a very long break, and eventually started interviewing again. I'm now at a different company in the exact same field, with better leadership, lower stress, and standard working hours. Ironically, the company has even better productivity than the high stress startup.
"Keep your eyes on the prize" is an ancient cliché.
The most important part for me when creating a new CLI is the ability for the end user to debug the CLI themselves and step through it. This is much easier with e.g. Python, but fairly more complex with a binary built by Go
It's one thing to design a program such that it can be fast, and quite another to focus on some random piece of code and spend weeks optimizing it, only to find out later that the performance of that particular piece of code was irrelevant.
I might be missing something - why would this be a breakthrough? It sounds complicated to generate the interfaces, sure, but is there a theoretical problem blocking this, or just practical?
No because Freedom of Speech is a fundamental individual right. It should never be limited or restricted. A strong country will prevail over abusers in this case (think when America abolished slavery, segregation...). It is a compass for long term survival.
For the most part, the restrictions there cover intentional deception, incitement to commit a crime, or speech acts of aggression such as harassment and threats. When we talk about "absolute freedom of speech," we mostly mean the free expression of any opinion, not the freedom to say literally anything.
Well, you can try to help, but there is no guarantee that your help is welcome. You will have to do the work, then convince the maintainer to accept it. If the maintainer is unresponsive, you may work for nothing. This seems the case here: we don't know why the maintainer is unresponsive. And people can't casually upload a new version due to strong ownership culture.
It is quite possible. I do not know. I sometimes do not leave the house for months. I have to now because I have a health issue.

It is still risky, and I hope it will not be mandatory.
If that is true, then it infers that simply being hungry could extend life.

Some compounds promote hunger, notably THC found in marijuana. Yet, as far as I know, chronic marijuana users are not living substantially longer lives? Then again, the hunger effect probably also diminishes as ones tolerance increases.
I wholeheartedly agree, you a articulated what I felt when reading this overview which is why I submitted it. Much respect to the writer and their organization for having high writing standards and making it accessible to curious outsiders.

Why does that matter? If you don't like a specific ideology that happens to be majority non-white, you're automatically a racist / criticism of it is automatically racist?

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with North Africans, Arabs, Indonesians, etc, etc.

There is a lot wrong with Islam. Just as there are problems with every religion. Islam's are just more severe. Islam is as worthy of defense as communism, which is to say – not very much.

I have lost my appreciation of GG after his recent breakup with Intercept.

I find Intercept the most interesting and insightful "press" these days, but I also like NYT, WaPo, WSJ (not its opinion section) and Economist.
Why is this upvoted, is HN literally a slot machine?

It's garbage.

A 3 weeks, self evaluated survey for amazon vouchers for ~100 people? It's a great student thesis, but it's not science.

The journal article reads like it's actually written to be confusing. Why do we think that's acceptable?

What is the game here, people don't like supervisors so you write an article that make them look bad, so the media creates spam around you, they get clicks from the masses and you make money while everyone gets dumber.

Out of interest does anyone have a link to the actual questionnaire used? So we can actually evaluate the claim.
Hehe, I know CSS used to be a lot more basic than it is now, my point was simply that I've been working with CSS for a long time but had somehow missed this nugget.

> - Flash-loan strategies (this verges on illicit, ymmv)

Why illicit?

Tell me more about flash lending, I've seen interesting things being done with uniswap and I find defi fascinating!!
I’m confused by one line from the first code block in the “A Demonstration” section:

intmax_t val = imaxabs(val);

This is the first time `val` is defined in the block, so wouldn’t this raise a C compiler compilation error? If not, then I don’t understand the effect of this line.

I've been back and forth with members of the open source community a few times on this, and it seems like a battle that isn't going to be won. Software that has a price tag attached to it is unlikely to be accepted as open source, from what I can tell.

Which makes me wonder: should we come up with a new name/classification for software that is 'free as in freedom' but not 'free as in beer'?
What's your point? This is more or less the end of the road in Sweden and Finland with regards to fees/co-pays, there's no difference with regards to severity. Not sure why you guys are so eager to try a "it's actually pretty much the same as here" when it clearly requires an extremely superficial look.
In real life, if you go meet a few, I am quite sure you will find that many Muslims do not take their scripture literally. It is the real world application of a religion by any particular adherent that impacts society, not what you happen to think the associated text dictates. Passages are regularly ignored or reinterpreted by adherents of religions to suit their personal needs or desires. An Islamic politician who wants to promote literacy can find plenty of support for that agenda in his religious texts. And a politician who opposes that agenda can also find support for his agenda in those same texts. That's the nature of the beast. Revising the text itself may be forbidden but that doesn't mean the interpretation and practice of the religion are immutable traits, universal to all adherents.
Thanks for the feedback! The priorities you mention are very close to our own, and we have already started working on some of them. We will definitely be integrating discovery more closely into the app in the long run.
There's a possibility that if instead of discussing and debating ideas we disagree with, we repress them and try to bury them, it will just form a darker, more extreme underground network. Extremism isn't some new thing. Right now certain political viewpoints are allowed to be discussed and others are not. The Overton window is very small. That leads people who disagree to try to find each other and band together, form some kind of opposition. Because their opinions are repressed, they stay insulated in their bubbles (as do people with mainstream opinions). The isolation leads to extremism.

If you look at the polarization of politics in the united states, both sides hate each other and they won't talk. Maybe if there was some kind of discourse, things wouldn't be so bad. Right now the only words exchanged are insults, all republicans are alt-right, all democrats are communists. It wasn't always like that. It used to be possible for people who vote differently to be friends, or even live in the same household.
Certainly. I will leave a review on iTunes.

The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant is a good if slightly outdated intro. I also read Sophie's World and would recommend reading that first, but you can skip it if you don't want to read fiction.

If you want something that talks purely about ideas without reference to the famous names, Bertrand Russell's book The Problems of Philosophy is also good. It give a very good overview of the major questions that philosophy keeps coming back to without dwelling too much on the history of the different answers. He also gives his own opinions on some of these issues, but you don't have to take that too seriously.
Not really, because there might be some cases where compelling a journalist to reveal their sources is the right thing to do. Coming up with examples is trivial: child abuse, war crimes, etc. Of course, this should be extremely rare (which it already is). The freedom of the press, much like the freedom of speech (and religion, for that matter), is not -- Constitutionally speaking -- absolute.
>But the SF government has a job to do, and it is not their fault that state governments in the US cannot afford adequate economic stinks. The anger needs to be towards the federal government for not providing a well-deserved bailout.[..]

the following quote addresses part of your comment.

[..]Danielle Rabkin owns CrossFit Golden Gate, a small fitness center in San Francisco, and directed her ire towards local officials at the San Francisco Department of Public Helath who chose to adopt the stay-at-home order despite the state projecting the Bay Area would be the last region that needs to shut down.

"My big question is, why does SFDPH feel they need to be more restrictive than the California DPH?" she asked. "Why put people out of work and shut down businesses when according to Newsom we had two-to-three more weeks [until] the Bay Area hit the ICU criteria to shut down? There is no extra compensation offered, why should the feds bail us out when we meet state criteria to reopen? SFDPH is behaving criminally, this IS SO WRONG. They are leveling this city."[..]
BTW - Sartre goes on later in life to claim that Marxism and Existentialism are basically identical, or rather that Marxism is the sociological analog to Existentialism in his work "Search for a Method". This is not very well known among anyone except the Sartre hacks, but is important to mention. Same with Camus and his early relationship with leftist politics.

Early isn’t necessarily premature.

I always took the quote to mean you should focus on the right optimizations at the right time — starting with architectures and algorithms that alleviate as much work as possible (big savings) and only then get into code level optimizations (small savings). Architecture and algorithm design is where you get your “big O” wins, while code optimizations get you that last scaling factor of efficiency.

It’s a retort to people who micro-optimize an HTTP response... while having a process that generates 10x the API calls it needs to by not caching or joining data.

Wait until a decade from now, when all computers are like this, too.
It seems to have been worth the caution. R has a great reputation for stability. The contrast between my experiences in R and python datascience tools is stark. Pandas syntax has changed wildly since I started learning it, but R and tidyverse hasn’t really changed at all. Admittedly pandas was in rapid and early development at the time.
Are you meant to reply to me? It seems quite odd. What numbers do you want from me? I think it is quite useful to know that 1) I have an autoimmune disease, 2) the vaccine has unknown side-effects especially for me, 3) I have been through COVID-19 without any issues, and 4) we do not know if it actually stops transmission. To get the vaccine is risky for me, regardless of your imaginary numbers.

Show me evidence it stops transmission, and show me evidence it is safe for people with autoimmune diseases. If they come back good, I might take that particular vaccine. If not, then get off my back. If it does not stop transmission, it should be my choice, and you are just giving me a selfish opinion. I am NOT going to risk my health, period. Risk yours if you wish.
I think that actually supports my point. A customer has a relationship with the ISP and can actually sue them. If people start putting google or cloudflare DNS into lots of devices and apps and those start doing something questionable then you have no recourse and even if they did they'd have to go after dozens of different vendors to change their behavior instead of the single ISP.

I don’t think the NYT is any bastion of the free press. They are far too corrupt.

I’d be happy if both NYT and 8chan didn’t exist.
This is such a good point. Pretty much any human endeavor (philosophy, startups, physics, mathematics, literature, music, art, physical training, etc) can be much more fruitful when done in collaboration with others who are also trying hard. This is why cutting edge research continues to be done in universities, and why YC is so successful.

As a fan of both analytic and continental philosophy, I can also confirm that professionally trained analytic philosophers tend to be biased and limited in their arguments. But aren't we all.

I agree: it's essential to expose yourself to broader works of philosophy. I would extend this beyond Europe to Asian works of philosophy, and aboriginal and indigenous stories across the world. Outside the Eurocentric philosophy bubble, it can be harder to disentangle philosophy from religion, culture, and myth, but that's part of the fun.

How idiotic would it be if there was a book called "A Perfectly Complete and Eternally Correct Encyclopedia of Philosophy", and we all read it and called ourselves 'philosophers'.
This platform has the potential to change the way we think about helping others and asking for help ourselves. We truly are #strongertogether !!
Presumably it's because the publishers are paranoid about piracy and/or people who want DRM-free books are a minority.

I was actually surprised when I bought a book on an online bookstore yesterday and was given the option to download it as an epub in addition to reading it in the Play Books app. Apparently that's a flag that anyone can set, but most authors/publishers choose not to.
> I don't see why that justifies the dismissiveness.

Because it's click-bait selective reporting that stokes outrage. (Case in point: Just take a look at how I'm getting spam downvoted after outlining my position fairly straightforwardly.)
The problem is that the habits people learn at their first few jobs will carry forward into jobs where the ability to talk back is an advantage, and that fixing that requires a lot of effort and either deep introspection or a good mentor who will notice the issues. By the time the issue is fixed, those who entered the system without the issues will be years or decades ahead in their careers.

Yes, someone from poverty can overcome these issues with a combination of effort and luck. But it’s hard to do, and many either don’t try or fail. This is a waste of human potential, where someone who maybe could have done better given a better starting environment loses out just due to the circumstances of their birth. Anyone who could have had a billion dollar idea and ends up hurt by their circumstances is a loss to us as a society. The tools are available for everyone who asks for it, but many are born such that they’d never trust the system enough to ask for it.

I guess I would phrase it as the difference between “their is societal mobility, in that people from any start can improve their lot” and “there is societal mobility, in that people from any start have equal opportunity as those born at the top to be successful.” America has the first, but is very far away from the second. I doubt it’s actually possible to reach the second completely of course, just get closer to it.

In the end I agree. How we actually fix this is full of so many questions. As far as America is concerned, I believe the “right to work” laws that allow firing without reason probably deeply increase the fear of those at all levels of the totem pole, but especially those close to poverty. Of course that’s just one of many issues, and repealing those laws creates economic inefficiency in making it hard to fire poor performers. Which has worse side effects is debatable, and there are endless questions indeed.

Why not Android? It's Linux, and it has tons of Google-researched optimizations that you're unlikely to get from Linux distros (at least the same level of polish).
I think we’re on the same page, but I’d argue that a race is defined by how it’s used, if people decide to lump Muslims together into one category and generalize based on that, like is common in the West, then I’d say it’s probably a race.

(I don’t find the distinction to be very important outside of how it’s misused.)
Yes, they're all the press. For every instance of corruption you've listed, the outlet in question can still report on something else that others won't. That's the marketplace of ideas. Attacking each one for being imperfect on its own diminishes the chances that a given piece of information will be reported in the future.

Now of course that doesn't mean you should blithely believe what they say, or think you're getting the whole picture from any one. But they do all collectively form the press.
Seriously this thing has four hdmi ports and even a composite video input. It is the superset of dumb TVs.
One of the few things I remember from watching fastai course a few years ago, is to train a model with smaller data. For example, instead of 2k×2k images, downscale them to for ex 400×400. A network with a better design should still learn fastest on smaller data.

Also, one can train the network to a good accuracy, then change the input layer, and unfreeze the inner layers, that way the network will have a head start.

Not sure how universal this principle is, but it seemed reasonable, if I remember it correctly, of course.

The approach described in the article looks very smart. Also could be handy for integration testing of ML frameworks. I've been working on my own DL framework, and this data set looks like a good way to test the training and inference pipelines E2E.
You need to learn history my friend. And FYI I'm not attacking nor defending Islam here.

What is referred to as "Islamic" culture did not come from Arabia/modern day gulf countries. It came from Iraq, the Levant, Egypt and North Africa. The Caliphates' capitals were based in Damascus, Baghdad, Egypt or south of Spain. These were diverse societies and "Islamic" progress was diverse by people from different religions and races.

Also, the Ottomans never occupied Arabia/the Gulf. They stopped at the Levant. Because there was simply nothing to occupy in an empty desert.

You're confusing Arabia, Levant, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa. Arabia has a very distinct culture and different languages & history.

The Levant, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa are far far from "still a desert with no social, architectural or technological progress". They don't even have oil, apart from Iraq.
Memory is unreliable, so changes in subsequent re-tellings are possible even if you originally told the truth. Part of the art of lying well is lying only about things whose details are plausibly forgotten in the fullness of time. So lying about eating fugu works, especially if you really have been to a place where it is served.
Is there a trend of video game UI going flat? I've seen some Switch games that's ditching their stylistic UI and going for generic flat UIs, e.g. Pokemon Sword/Shield, and this makes me very sad, I hope they're just bad art direction. For app UI it's reasonable to go flat to maximize content readability, but for video games, where the goal is "fun", UI should also be fun, or at lease visually consistent with the game aesthetics, or even be a part of the game itself.
I don't recall when I first realized how insanely good at driving humans are, but I was a kid, and in Bayesian terms it gave me a strong prior for the existence of some sort of Guardian Angels until I learned more about how the our motor minds work.

We move with extreme precision and coordination on the unconscious level even when we seem clumsy or uncoordinated on the conscious level. We are acting out cultural and personal formats or roles, a kind of post-hypnotic suggestion. This is part of the reason that you can learn hypnosis and accelerate learning: we are operating at a fraction of our potential due to old programming, upgrade your software and it unlocks "new" capabilities.
Just in recent weeks:

- M1 [0]

- A14 in the iPhone 12 Pro (first 5-nanometer chip with 11.8 billion transistors) [1]

Previously, they introduced the first 64-bit CPU in a mobile device, which stunned competitors at the time [2].

Not to mention their excellence in hi-dpi displays. In 2012, Apple launched the MacBook Pro a with "retina" display. It took _years_ for non-Apple alternatives to materialize. In fact, the only comparable laptop display in existence today would probably be the Dell XPS 17" UHD+ (which I own, and it's excellent). However, the MacBook Pro 16" remains superior when it comes to sound quality, form factor (i.e. weight), touch pad precision and latency, thermal performance, etc., despite significant investments from Dell in those areas to catch up.
