You definitely get the sense that he just wanted to be alone at times. Hard to do that when you're in a long term relationships because you have to adjust to some else's schedule. Easier when your acquaintances are short-term.
Yep. He just missed finding his people, unfortunate.

Yes! Apple sells ~18-21 million Macs a year. Out of those no MacBook Air, no iMac, no Mac mini, no iMac Pro, no Mac Pro, and some models of 13" MacBook Pro have the Touch Bar. Apple never went all-in on it. Though I'm happy if they're indeed going back to physical function keys.
I too loved MagSafe.
It wasn’t without issues though. The cables didn’t have strain relief so ended up destroyed in certain hands. The other issue may be more region specific - New Zealand has iron sand beaches and fine black sand gets everywhere. Presumably some got into a bag of mine and a very small amount go into the laptop charging ports of multiple laptops. It caused the charger to not connect perfectly and this generated hear and blackened the plug and laptop around the port.

Reading the article he was someone who was prone to neglect people close to him. I wouldn't look for an explanation that applies to everyone for that behavior.

I've known people closely people like that, there's a selfishness to their lack of acknowledgement of others' needs and wants, but it's more of a drive to do that than a reaction to their existence; if and when they have nobody else to hollow out with their negativity and neglect, they'll turn it on themselves, and over time there will be just less and less of themselves.

Notwithstanding that they can be charming on a superficial level.

There's lots of ways people can have that pattern of being a completely different beast to strangers than to intimate partners in a bad way. Say on the other end the ones that make their whole world about you, but that specially means that every single bad feeling of theirs will be offloaded or straight up blamed on you.
Here's an alternate solution to that problem: build a laptop with 20 hours of battery so that people aren't sitting on the couch with their laptop on the coffee table and a power cord dangling across the living room floor.

I don't have an M1 machine, but the impression I get from people is that "Plug it in overnight at your desk and literally don't worry about its battery running out" is a reasonable thing to do now.

> what will be the best way to escape from such a mess?

You have a few options:

1. Do nothing. Your most employable staff will leave to escape the abuse.

2. Try to manage the relationship. For instance have all communication go through one person who is empowered to terminate the contract. Set boundaries that if they behave abusively you will terminate the contract. If the client is heavily reliant on you, consider raising your price immediately as you're going to be doing a lot more work than you'd expected.

3. Dump the client immediately. Your staff will thank you but may worry about the company's viability.

4. Keep the client for now (maybe do #2), very actively look for alternate work, and bring the contract to a close once you have new clients.

Whatever you do, express clearly to your staff that this behaviour is not OK, and share what you can about how you are going to shield them from it.

> This looks like a hefty amount of boilerplate to achieve practically nothing.

I have yet to find a good way to avoid boilerplate in handling command line input on my console applications.

My naïve self feels that it should be standard, and yet every console application operates with different nuances. It's also a part of code that I see a disproportionate amount of bugs/feedback on (for sufficiently complicated programs). I see developers consistently underestimate the work required on handling command-line input.

I don't think this guys solution is a silver bullet but I'm happy to see the methods.

Because the product makes no sense. Why would I use a swipe system focused on people's appearance to find new friends? The whole meet someone random and chat on an app is already super awkward for dating, but there's motivation to get over it for obvious reasons, and in that context at least attractiveness is a rational dimension to consider.

At least something like Meetup pre-selects for fairly specific interests.

Recently, after a few days of trying to set up Scala to work with the latest JVM in Visual Studio Code I just gave up and installed IntelliJ IDEA instead. Works out of the box.

I'm a seasoned programmer with 15 years of experience in Python, Java, Scala, OCaml, C++, JavaScript, Linux, bash, ... (a.k.a. I can do or learn pretty much everything). Could I set up VS Code to work with Scala? Yeah, probably. But why would I bother?

UI matters. Programmers mostly suck at UI. Which is reasonable, really, because after you set it up once, you can easily forget about it...

Lenovo does not sell ANY AMD-equipped Thinkpad in Spain as of right now because they are all sold out [1]. The Ryzen 7 version in particular was sold out a mere 1 week after launch and hasn't been available since.

To add insult to injury, they have announced 5 new thinkpads (X1 Titanium Yoga, X12 Detachable, X1 Yoga Gen6, X1 Nano, X1 Carbon Gen9) but all of them are intel-based. [2]

I believe it's called a mask. People with some personality disorders gradually develop a sort of behavioral mask to wear in public in order to fit in into the wider society and be able to achieve one's goals. However, having it 'on' is apparently taxing, so it comes off around people who are in one way or another part of some inner circle for whom there's no point to pretend.

I wonder if Signal would be open to doing that.

I know they don't like third party implementations because then if you need to make a protocol change you'd have to wait 30 years for everyone else to update their clients. But if you're already requiring a single client that it makes it easier to do decentralized messaging for exactly the same reason.

Another option that works pretty well is to do both. So try decentralized (DHT / direct connection) first and fallback to a central server if that doesn't work. Then you're up as long as either one of them is working. And there is a lot less load on your central servers.
The notion of some underlying thing, like Gold, to back a currency is largely a function of trust, in that, Gold cannot be created of magic air.

(FYI currency debauching is a concept thousands of years old, nothing to do with the 'paper redemption problem' you articulated re: modern US government policy).

Currency is - and always has been - a social contract and a function of some kind of economic base or market.

A 'well managed' currency is exactly what is needed for economic prosperity, just like everything else in the real world, not some mathematical solution.

BTC doesn't work as a currency primarily because it's not the currency of any economic region, and is therefore pointless from the start on that basis.

As a 'store of value' it's really just a magic number, which technically has some usefulness, but really it's just a curious novelty.

BTC is designed and propagated originally by people who have absolutely no understanding of money or finance - a total and utter misunderstanding of all of it. Now that it has many incumbents who've invested huge amounts of $$$ in it, those 'vested interests' keep it alive along with the koolaiders.

Like NKLA stock.

It's why for example the US/China/Canada/UK/EU just don't magically 'agree on a currency' in a big 'trade agreement' because it's not feasible, it makes no sense.

It's why the 'Euro' is a constant grinding problem hanging over the EU; while it has transactional and accounting advantages, the 'single currency' cannot simply paper over the very fundamental differences between national economic systems. If the EU went 'full fiscal union' - that would help, but it would also imply constant and massive direct wealth transfers from Germany and Netherlands to 'everywhere else'. Those 'transfer payments' would be one way of recognizing systematic imbalances. Having 'national currencies' instead of the Euro would be another.

The 'best currency' in the US is the USD, the 'best currency' in the UK is the Pound.

If you want a 'store of value' then buy real estate, commodities, stocks, bonds, a pool of other currencies, or better yet, a cheap ETF that's spread among those things.

Frankly, if there were a 'global currency' it would be de-facto something like a massive, well managed ETF fund whereby 'credits' would map to a portion of said assets. It could be anonymous, and maybe transactions could be decentralized - but - there's no getting around mapping the value of the currency or asset to some part of the system, they cannot be independent. And frankly it would need to be 'so huge' that it would imply a kind of Global Central Bank of some kind, which we would never agree upon.

BTC is a very curiously novel and interesting thing but it's not the right solution to anything.
I will breathe a lot easier a week from now. This system definitely needs to be reformed.

Daniel Ellsberg's recent book The Doomsday Machine supports a lot of this, but adds that historically, theater military commanders have also had independent launch authority, and as far as he can tell, they still do.

(Ellsberg is best known for the Pentagon Papers but his job was actually nuclear strategy. He'd intended to publish documentation on that as well, but thought if he did that first, nobody would even care about the Vietnam stuff. The nuclear papers were lost before he published them.)

helm is like a package manager for kubernetes apps. Think apt-get but for your distributed system. But its input is a yaml file. It also provides for a templating engine which means everything you want to change for your app goes into one values.yaml file. Its values are substituted to the real kubernetes yaml files. It seems CDK8s is trying to do the same thing in code instead of yaml files which gives more flexibility but IMHO code is an overkill for this.

I don't think its really all that misleading. The article is talking about basic income being needed as a safety-net for events like losing your job so that you can continue to feed your family. I suspect that absent a car, mortgage and credit card payment coming due every month most people would actually be able to weather this sort of event. The reality of these monthly liabilities doesn't change all that much regardless of your equity situation.
It's not the easiest thing to setup. There's a few places I'm sure which let you get free XMPP accounts, and a handful of good clients.

Oh I know, I just get irrationaly annoyed by people calling this stuff dubstep.

Hi Mark, this book is based upon faasd - probably the easiest and cheapest way to self-host functions whilst still being able to get the usual things like metrics, queueing (async) and most of the features of OpenFaaS.

I wrote this guide because the audience for faasd isn't the same person that builds their own Kubernetes clusters at work, and runs them with a team of 10 SREs. It's for folks who want to stand up a few endpoints quickly and integrate and automate their workflows.

Scrape webpages, generate social banners, filter Tweets using code instead of the crappy rules on IFTTT. Build an Alexa skill or home assistant in their home network on a Raspberry Pi. Scraping with faasd is much faster than Lambda - I wrote a blog post on that, and also much easier to deploy. It's worth trying both to compare.

I've used Gumroad in the past to sell OpenFaaS merchandise, and I have to say print-on-demand integrates much better with Shopify. Gumroad does excel at collecting the right amount of taxes on eBooks - which Shopify cannot do, so this is one of the reasons for picking them.

There's also a lot of Indie Hacker types who have had success self-publishing on Gumroad, so I thought I'd put my first ebook up there.

With this first edition there's 44-pages of labs, advice and experience that you cannot get in the openfaas/faasd docs, and I want to see if I can generate value for users that way. It's a bit of a test for market fit.

Okay, this quote stood out -- “He was a crazy good coder. Except he would always code everything the hardest way possible, kind of like you hired Rembrandt to paint your bathroom. You know it is going to be lit, but over the top.”

I was there in the past and the tools are really not comparable. I just inserted a floppy disk and did A: then TP.EXE (which was just as arcane as knowing $PATH) but do I really want to work on Turbo Pascal in MS-DOS? Of course complexity skyrocketed!

That's not a counterexample because beginners have contemporary expectations. There are simpler alternatives that just work. Why do beginners want to use Node.js locally then?

> We do things the way we do things largely for historical reasons

Nobody challenged that. The question is: is the alternative better or just a different (but equally arcane) set of quirks?

If you're not using $PATH you'd be using an analogue system to solve the same problem, and you'd lose portability with current OSes.

Sounds like NIH to me.
