One of the many reasons I decided to quit my "comfy" dev job at a major corporation.

Comfy in the sense that I knew the paycheck would come at the end of every month.

But at what cost? I had to spend extra 3-4 hours per day in order to deliver in time; and sometimes it was not enough for management (good people overall, but way too embedded in this culture of unaccounted time.) It really wore on me. I had almost no time or energy for my personal lives, let alone my side projects.

I know not everyone has the luxury to quit their jobs. But if it's eating you away, then switch jobs as soon as you can.

P.S.: I'm not a fan of articles published via tweets.
Multiple projects: https://play.johnnydecimal.com/johnny.decimal/projects

My top-priority job as soon as I get time over Xmas is to get (an updated, better) version of this up on the main site. It’s the #1 question I get asked.

Took me a few years to figure this one out but I’ve been running it in anger now for a year and I can say that it works.
Interesting, would you consider optimising the build more (using uglify, minifyCSS etc.)?

I am a tech lead and find it surprising that 20% projects could damper your career, perf & promo etc. Where I work, a well-executed 20% project is seen as very positive during the perf review. In fact, doing zero 20% projects for a long period of time could actually damper your career.
Good points, thanks, and probably the main thing I’ll take away from this thread.

“It isn’t for everyone” is absolutely right, and if I can make that separation higher up then it’s better for everyone.

Provable Security:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provable_security

If you read that article you'll see that current approaches don't even attempt some kinds of proofs such as proof of security against side channel attacks. It goes by other names as well such as proof of code correctness:

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/10/proving_a_com...

A major problem with current attempts at proofs is you can at best create a proof based on a system specification and what you want it to be secure against, which basically means you have to already know all possible attacks including zero day attacks. So far the field has resulted in nothing practically useful as far as I know. Homomorphic encryption might be close to being practical for a limited set of problems and could be provably secure for a limited set of attacks, though I don't know if anyone has attempted such a proof yet.

You are repeating US domestic BS. There isn’t a lower half in my country. We have high minimum wage, free health care, and lots of masks even though Chinese live here too. No ones coming for me and my kind because we haven’t disenfranchised a huge portion of our population... instead we have compulsory voting.

Honestly, please read some Taiwanese news... why didn’t they have a mask shortage? Or HK or Singapore? You quote complete nonsense like it’s fact.

5G suppresses the immune system... so Wouldn’t the outbreak have been bigger in Shanghai and Guangzhou that have the largest 5G installation and population in the world... but no, instead they had one of the smallest outbreaks per capita.

Please do explain the factual nature of the conspiracy theories... your answer implies you don’t actually have an explanation.

>This is the opposite of true. In practice, inflation is wealth transfer to the upper class. Inflation benefits debt holders, the people who are most levereged (with debt) into inflation proof assets are those who are rich.

It may be counter intuitive (it actually isn't, it's perfectly logical) but inflation is merely what happens when demand exceeds supply. This means if you constantly increase demand for labor you will get to see consumer inflation. Since there is barely any consumer inflation there is very little demand for labor. This isn't surprising because a lot of the jobs are now abroad and domestic training opportunities are poor (companies don't provide them) or inaccessible (college is expensive and time consuming). If you could somehow make every American highly educated so that they can work in the highly profitable sectors of the economy that remained (there is no shortage of those) you would still get to see decent economic growth (2% YOY) in developed countries. The reality is that not everyone can get such a job and some need a secondary career after they lost their first. Since there are not many low skilled jobs that can't be done abroad there is little demand for these workers. If you can increase consumer inflation you will directly increase the wages of those unneeded workers because the consumer inflation is excess demand for (low skilled) jobs.

> the people who are most levereged (with debt) into inflation proof assets are those who are rich.

Yeah but here comes the trick. If there is consumer inflation the only way you can make your assets inflation proof is by productively employing workers. If you are owning real estate then the value of your assets will grow but only insofar that workers can afford to pay rent.

The rich won't make money off of sitting on assets, they will make money off of using those assets productively by renting them out. In our current twisted reality you can often make more money off of just letting the property sit empty so that you can have a quick sale 5 years down the line. The idea of unused real estate growing in value is insane but it only happens because there is asset inflation and mismanagement by the central bank.
What works quite well for me is to just take breaks. (I have +7 diopters with astigmatism and all the packages)

On MacOS there is an app called "Time Out" that dims the screen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds. It forces you to just relax for 20 seconds (you can set it up as you like). In the meanwhile you can either look at something that is far away (several meters or a good reason to learn metric), or just close your eyes and lean back.

There might be other Apps for other OSes but if you're into Arduino you can just smack a LED on the board and let it light up every 20 Minutes for ~20 seconds to have a reminder.

Additionally, I take a break every 4 hrs for at lest 20 minutes and go for a walk in the park, cook something, cuddle the cat or whatever.

Diving into Firecracker with Alpine
Medford, OR. USA. I’ve been here 2.5 years and my faucet clogged about 8 months after I moved in to the house... with blue plastic particles. They have continued to show-up in my faucet filters every since, so it was not a one off incident. I called the county and sent photos, but who knows if that did anything. I’m lucky in that I have always had additional filtration systems for everything I drink.

Edit: Jackson County, OR.

> Market capitalization is based purely on the value of the stock itself

> doesn't take into account any other factors such as projections, profitability or debt

You seem to confuse a few things here.

Explain how Amazon could ever be worth more than zero for most of its existence, then?

Price of stock is largely dependent on people willing to buy it and sell it. When more people want to buy it, the stock price generally goes up.

Why do people want to buy more than sell? Generally, it's when they think the future price will be higher. Projections, sort of.
Re: Dewey, no. You make your own category numbers up for each system, every one is different (unless you create a standard, e.g. if you do lots of similar projects).

> Java's culture, in my opinion, is one of abstractions. There's little in the language to force you down that path, other than decades of it being the prevalent way Java is written, which bleeds into the standard library, core frameworks, and becomes the Java Way of Thinking.

Yes exactly, that's why I personally stay away from Java. The language is totally fine, the tooling is also fine, performance is great, there's everything there in theory to build and maintain great projects, however, the culture is atrocious and overengineering is everywhere. And that's very hard to go against decades of culture momentum going this way.

I'm gonna be honest I do not understand the economics and logic of vertical farming.

You're basically putting plants in expensive, complicated buildings operated by extremely expensive and complicated robots, then you turn energy from the sun into electricity and back into light so you can grow the plants when you can just... farm in sunny places instead? Plants have the ability to turn sunlight into tasty nutrients built in.

Something jen729w doesn't talk about, but possibly should: if you have two categories that have similar things in them, have the same IDs in both. For example, I'm a low level manager. I've got an area for admin paperwork. One category is Me, other categories are for each of my subordinates. Each of those has a ID for annual performance reports. So mine is 11.01. My subordinates are all 12.01/13.01/14.01. This may result in skipped IDs, as not all subordinates have all of the IDs in use. But this is still helpful, as I know that 01 is always for annual performance reports, 02 is always for training, etc.

Another thing for Johnny: You may not need to get the IT team to make you a Sharepoint list for tracking your IDs. You may have your own little Sharepoint site if they use MS365. OneDrive for MS365 business runs on Sharepoint. So just make your own there.

Admittedly, I don't, because I'm actually using OneNote for that, as well as storing the notes. So every Area is a section group, Category is a section, and every ID is a page. And if I need to make more notes in an ID, I can make a subpage. But normally it's group-section-page. This leads into: the default page is 00.00, which is the table of contents. If you want to go really crazy, you could just embed any files into the pages as well, but I currently think that's a kinda nasty way to do it.

A third thing: if somehow you end up with more than 9 categories (see prior note on categories corresponding to people), nothing stops you from using Base36 for the category numbers. As above, if I became a middle manager, and had to track more than just a few guys, I'd still continue with lexicographic sorting category "numbers". It'd just be non-numeric. This goes into breaking the rules, but rules are there to be broke when necessary and sensible.
I've never had any issues with trackpads.
In terms of language change, i wonder when the phrase "carry on" changed.

Historically I've heard it often said to ones valet for example when one is done with them. Famously "Carry on Jeeves", but i'm sure it was very much used in this sense as a polite stoic dismissal to return to work

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_On,_Jeeves

Then the "Carry On" bawdy farce comedy Movies starting in 1958, double entendre laden as they are, implying the historical reference as well as the implication of horse play and frivolity

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_On_(franchise)

And then in my lifetime in my part of the world it was vernacular for "messing around" or something that has happened which is very much unbecoming. Often my parents would say things of the type "You grandmother lost her glasses on the bus, it was a while carry on" or if children were being raucous, "Would you stop carrying on like that"
Move to a community that is on the edge (not hopelessly gone like in the article, but low income). Take a few youth as projects and start working with them, improving their lives. Donate to existing youth groups.

In our community, all crime has dropped tremendously since we started, and many youths now have purpose to their lives that will (hopefully) keep them from ever joining such groups.

And, importantly, don't forget your own kids. Keep an eye on their friends when growing up, make sure you spend the time to keep a good relationship with them.

If everyone in Central America consciously worked to raise their kids to be better people, and each also took two or three less fortunate kids as projects, it would show. (I am sure plenty do, but we need more working to improve the world!)

Ask HN: Google Play Music Alternative?
What are good alternatives to Google Play Music?

While YouTube Music is more or less ok as a replacement, I don't like the dark-patterns they're using to try and lure/confuse you into a subscription for YouTube rather than just listening to your music like you used to be able to.

What good alternatives exist that:

- let me upload my own music collection

- stream from a browser & a native android app

- ideally do not have a subscription

- Optional: legitimate music purchases

I don't mind self-hosting if it comes to that?

Thanks!
Came here to say this aswell, I visited the site wondering what the terms and conditions were. The page starts off by saying:

How recently? Both gcc 4.1.2 (2007) and clang 3.0.0 (2011) optimizes `x+1 > x` to true for a signed int `x` on -O1. And it probably goes way back, these are just the oldest compilers I found on godbolt.

There is a huge divergence in understanding of the purport of recent events, starting with the Wikileaks release of DNC emails in 2016, and continuing through to Hunter Biden's laptop

One camp believes or suspects that Russia is more of a useful bugbear and scapegoat for certain political factions in the US, used cynically as FUD to manipulate public perceptions, than something to be so worried about

The other believes in good faith that Russia is a dangerous and sophisticated adversary with assets in the highest levels of the US government, and finds the first camp to be incomprehensibly obtuse at best

It's difficult for these 2 camps to communicate effectively for some reason
Loggly too.
The definition of "fact" is also not present in this thread yet you still need to know it before jumping into a discussion. Much like the other concepts you are arguing here, starting with misunderstanding the simple concepts laid out in the first line of the study. The more things you expect to have presented for you during the conversation, the more likely it is you shouldn't actually be in it.

You expect to throw the proverbial stone in the lake and everyone else to jump in and give you decades worth of education all neatly packed in a comment. Well you just got the conclusion from multiple users. Flailing about that we didn't support our opinion like it was a PhD thesis while you yourself just throw some inflammatory opinions with no qualified support inside or outside of this forum, and worse you remove text after posting, just confirms that you're not only unqualified for the discussion but are very likely carrying it in bad faith.
