Most of the time I've seen it, it is avoidance of the rest of their life. "Change diapers? Oh, sorry honey, I uhh... gotta do this thing at work. Darn it!"

One phenomenon I've always noticed about workaholics is that they THINK they are being more productive, but often times they are just spending more time spinning their wheels. Also the effect it has on their mood/interpersonal skills, and the pressure it puts on the rest of the team cancels it out. Seriously, one rude comment in the morning can throw a developer off for the rest of the day, it's not worth it.

"Man what's up with frank today?"

"Oh he was pulling an all-nighter doing a non-urgent task."

"Did anybody ask him to?"

"No. In fact we asked him to stop."

I consider independent study, side-projects, reading a good book, smoking some dope, cooking a good meal with my partner, getting enough sleep, relaxing, and exercising(!!!!) part of my job. I don't care what kind of mutant you THINK you are, you will perform better if you go to bed and get a full nights rest and clean your brain out. It is just science.

Finally, while it is true that "work more = better review at work", it's just... not worth it. If your job is your whole life and you are not making +200k: GET A LIFE. You have better things to do with your time than make some other man money. Work is a "safe place." Time goes in, money comes out. But that doesn't mean it is a healthy way to spend all of your time.
Storage-as-a-service is a commodity and race to the bottom. Check $BOX and $DBX 5 year charts.

Good luck competing with GAFA on this, best hope is a buyout. Firesale on depreciating assets.

On the consumer side, storage will become an appliance, like a (stick of butter sized) fridge. Or just included in your centralized home + family control center.
So I'm a secondary school teacher, and I have tried this. Several times, with several classes (math and introductory chemistry/physics). The issue is the kids think of it as not having any work. So they do nothing while at home, which then means I end up having to teach the content anyway. It just doesn't work because the kids are responsible and refuse to do stuff at home, meaning I have to teach what they should've learned and at least been able to discuss.

And it's not a matter of them not understanding the material, it's that they openly admit they didn't watch/read it and don't think they have to.
There must be resources for homeschoolers that already solve a lot of this right? Maybe someone on HN has experience with that? I know in the past there were correspondence courses for students whose parents were not in one place for a long time (diplomats, people sailing around the world, etc.) I'm sure something like that still exists as well.

> I'm my opinion, the secret sauce that makes Intel dominate certain industries is software. And it has been for some years already

Intel's secret sauce is inertia.

The thought that Intel's is not challengeable, and the world doesn't need a company to dethrone it either.

But that assumption is no longer true, and the counter movement is in its full swing.

The future of computing is on not CPU if you ask me. It would move from general computing to heterogeneous computing, and possibly application-specific chips/FPGA. MKL is fast, probably, but GPU and ASIC would be even faster.
I'm building something now that would fit in great with TimeTagger, but I don't see an API documented.
Employers give it for one of three reasons:

1. It was negotiated as part of your job offer. (It is too late to try to negotiate it at any other time.)

2. It provides a lever for future behavior. "By accepting this severance payment, you agree not to sue THE COMPANY for any reason, and not to disparage THE COMPANY, and ..."

3. It makes the employer look reasonable to current and future employees. "Laid off 11% of the workplace due to economic conditions; 3 months of severance and various benefits" is much more conducive to hiring than "Laid off 11% of the workforce with no notice, no severance, no nothing".

If the investment precluded any participation by Caucasians (which it doesn't) can you think of a way that investing 100MM in "Black and Brown businesses" actually delivers returns well in excess of 100MM?

It's almost as if investing in communities that have been underserved, could somehow, trickle through the economy as a whole at a disproportionally high rate of return. You know, as opposed to investing it where monetary wealth is already largely concentrated.

I've never had this problem with Beagle Boards and sources. Sure the kernel or u-boot that ship with them might be slightly older but sources have always been available.

And TI are quite decent at contributing to the upstream kernel and u-boot trees. Generally only a few months after a new TI SoC is announced there's enough support in the upstream u-boot and kernel to boot the board and do some useful things. Generally by the time silicon is buyable by mere mortals mainline is in pretty decent shape.
One Drive works perfectly. I've used it to store game saves, photos, videos. Anything works. The only advantage MS Office compatible files have is that they can be edited online in an online session of word, excel or PowerPoint.

These egotistical CEOs need to work on how to deliver difficult news without making so much of it about how hard it is on themselves.

No one asked how you feel, Drew. You'll be fine.

It's very important that we distinguish between private companies that don't allow abhorrent behavior on their platforms versus true government censorship.

Government censorship is extraordinarily bad as the government holds a monopoly on violence and killing. If you can't speak out about the government's use of its monopoly, then abuses multiply as history shows.

I think most people support private forms of censorship. You wouldn't want me coming in your house and screaming at you, right? You wouldn't want a white supremacist coming in to where you were work and screaming hateful things at your coworkers right? You wouldn't want to go into a bar where obnoxious people are starting fights with everyone right? By the same token, there are literally hundreds of thousands of social media sites and if some of them don't want abhorrent behavior on their platform, that should just be their decision.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

IC means “individual contributor” here, like an engineer that doesn’t manage a team.
In the near future, storage will be a home appliance, with networking and command-and-control. As simple to use as a microwave, unlimited storage with service plans similar to changing water filters.
Lots of weird stuff in there, Amazon says Parler is suspended, but not terminated, but then says it will preserve data and help with migration. Which is it? Does Parler have a path to removing the suspension?

Additionally, Amazon says Parler does moderate and remove content, but not with a sense of urgency. How does Amazon define this sense of urgency? Parler was suspended because it wasn't quick enough to remove posts all while trying to manage 12 million users, 2.3 million DAU, and have explosive growth. Is a backlog of 26000 reports really a large number?
True, but only for some definitions of 'contrarian'.

The reverse warning would be equally useful, i.e. "dare to challenge the status quo if there's evidence for something better".

> Everything is end-to-end encrypted by default, so you know nobody is collecting your data.

I think it's wise to remember that what happens on the other "end" is outside of your control.

If the other person in the conversation stores chat backups unencrypted you're still at risk, and there's not much you can do about it.

Having your income suddenly reduced to near zero is a significant financial shock to a lot of people. Rents/mortgages are due, etc. I suppose you can make it optional and have each employee negotiate but that will either end up with no one getting it, or a lot of people opting out and then surprised with the sudden drop. Kind of what happens with health insurance.
Getting rid of downvoting in the sense of violating standards without also getting rid of upvoting in terms of agreement would result in popular opinions being promoted, without regard to their value (as an argument, or truthiness).

As much as HN is far from perfect, I still think there's some healthy disagreement visible and bad faith arguments don't get promoted.
For individuals Dropbox is quite expensive compared to services like OneDrive. Microsoft 365 Personal is 70$/year and gives you 1TB on OneDrive and full access to the Office offering. Dropbox for individuals is 200$/year for 3TB. And nothing else.

Unless you're hoarding data or want to avoid Microsoft, the choice is simple. And I'm sure you have even cheaper services.
Another interesting alternative: the pill camera. You fast, swallow a pill containing a camera, a bright LED and a battery, a video is transmitted through your body recorded by a sensor outside, and someone qualified can glance if anything is wrong.

Pill teardown here [1], images here [2] (without fasting).

The upside is quite clear, especially if you are already used to fasting. The downsides are that you can't control the speed of the pill going through your digestive system, and if a polyp is found, you still need a colonoscopy to remove it (and need to fast again).

In high school, my physics teacher told us about his time at Glasgow University where he’d worked on Scotland’s first laser. This would have been in the ’60s. He said it was fascinating, but they had no idea what to do with it then. He called it “a solution in search of a problem”.

> One of the reasons why I do not gift money to WireGuard developer(s) is that they have taken the steps to obscure where and to whom the money is going, which is in and of itself fishy. Just labelling something as 'donation' does not make it so.

Your remark about WireGuard developers being fishy and obscuring where the money goes is ridiculous, and the way you framed it, just... wow.
Thank you. A tiered JIT will indeed cause much more optimisations to be made possible.

I made a Qemu backend targeting LLVM before, but that turned out to be way too heavy to be usable, I wonder if it's worth revisiting that idea nowadays...
I feel like the misery of online education comes from the lack of consistency. One professor may drone on and on for a few hours during the lecture and have no "showmanship". Another may refuse to put his lectures online and demands that you he there at 8:30 am to watch the lecture live and only live. Some professors just refuse to change with the times. Too many educators want to try and fit an in-person education style into an online format. That's the wrong way to go about it.
I agree with all of this, though it's possible I'm also just justifying it to myself. I will say though that 8 hours working for someone else felt like a grind... but I can easily do 10-12 if I give myself an interesting project to work on. It feels really meaningful to me...

> I bet both Intel and AMD aren't exactly in love with x86 at the moment

This has been the case for, eh, decades now? To me it's almost a joke how many times Intel has tried to replace ia32 with a modernized replacement and miserably failed to make any headway.

I suppose Intel doesn't want to try competing with the legion of architecturally similar RISC cores and would rather "go big" with ideas like Itanium/i860/i960/iAPX. It's funny to imagine, but maybe one day they'd release a RISC-V implementing processor. Can't imagine them licensing the rights to ARM, and going with Power or MIPS also seems out of character.
yes, classic january stuff, but I was just thinking I could be doing with a daemon that I can control with rofi for tracking time, I could write some scripts to integrate it with freeagent and perhaps query how much money I made today and display it on i3status. with a CLI over your tool I would only be writing a few wee scripts, which would be ideal.

(p.s. if anyone reading this has a suggestion that isn't tied to a python script written by someone whose new year resolution is "Launch 12 products this year and blog about it next year" i would appreciate a pointer. This seems like something a gnu tool probably exists for. I just checked and this one has no API which makes it useless for me since the value is all the boring work is already done...)

No, maybe not, but perhaps there's something to be said when you look at the shirts people were wearing ("Camp Auschwitz") or the flags people were holding (Confederate, many), or the words people were speaking ("Hang Mike Pence!")?

> Is there any indication that the vast majority had any idea of the intentions and the contents of the pockets of those who sought to do harm

There's an enormous amount of testimony everywhere, in every major publication, on every news channel, about the feelings of those on the inside experiencing the mob enter from the outside. Your attempts to defend this are disingenuous.
Nothing in my post assumes that Beaker is a "commercial" product, nor that it's in search of any market that's necessarily measured in dollars.

My claim is that projects like Beaker neglect to ensure that any handful of 1-100 people will ever have any desire to use it in their life over their next-best available alternatives, even for free.

When you point out that Beaker is a platform, that doesn't change my claim, it just makes my claim imply that no developer will have a desire to build on it.
What you quoted is about people taking the only housing they can afford. Keep in mind low income households are 44% of the US. 44% of the country can only afford the cheapest rent. When half of the country has a flat limit, it restricts rent prices, which is why in most of the US there are two grades of rent: 1) cheap rent, which isn't great or 2) slightly more expensive rent where you get seemingly double for it, eg your commute is reduced by an hour, you get all of these amenities like heating and AC, you get way more square feet and so on. For most of the country the difference is around $200 a month.

I know there are wealthier areas like out here in the SF/Bay Area, where there is much more of a gradient due to the average person making six digits. Keep in mind if the bay area was its own country it would be the second wealthiest country in the world, so yes the US has exceptions, but lower income rent is still capped to their income.

If you think housing is elastic either you misunderstand the word or you can always prove it by living out of your car. In comparison, eating out is elastic, despite it being food. You can easily prove it by cooking at home. Maybe you're saying living in an expensive place is elastic so the free market works? Yes, this is true for the upper half of the country. For the lower half it is absolutely inelastic. A tv is elastic, because you can easily prove it by not owning one. Utilities, eating cheap food at home, and housing are inelastic. Try living without power.

Dropbox is often cited as a success story when it comes to startups. But makes me think, is this what we should call successful companies? Companies that takes others money, grow the company until they've grown too much and need to fire people because of their poor decisions? Sure, Dropbox is a whole of 13 years old, which is infinity time on the internet, but considering the rest of the ecosystem with businesses (where some been around for more than one thousand years), is this really what we should aspire towards?
I think what is needed must run much deeper than self-suppression. It is time for us to look within and cool off within ourselves so that we can speak and act without hate.
same, i guess dropbox went downhill from the day they did the UI/UX redesign
I learned this lesson in 1998 while working for MindSpring. A customer spotted my company shirt while at a gas station and threatened to kill me over tech support hold times.

Which is kinda ironic, since obviously router software is the worst.
No, but Apple does it worst, and the fact that other companies do it doesn't excuse them in the the slightest.
I think it depends upon the environment. What the GP said definitely resonates with me, but only at places where I had a large amount of control over what I worked on, and felt like my decisions / work affected the outcome of the company. I've noticed this mostly at smaller companies, and I imagine it could be similar in certain leadership roles.
The grey text color of your comment seems to suggest that there is at least one HN member with at least 500 karma (hence the ability to downvote) who finds the mere mention of such an outrageous imposition to be worth a downvote. How dare you insinuate we could act like grown-ups?
For some, that something else is themselves.

I disagree with this submission title. Workaholism isn’t a cause of mental health problems, it’s a symptom.

Those aren’t choices for you. They chose who they want to do business with. And let’s not pretend that internet doesn’t exist outside of those companies. Facebook doesn’t allow for example pornography on their website, and Internet porn is doing great.

And yeah, there are countless other issues for those companies. But perfect is an enemy of good. They’re allowed to take action, even if they won’t solve all the other problems at the same time.

And on a list of importance to the companies, not enabling violent government overthrow attempts is in their best interest, even once you strip all the politics. It’s a country where those companies are based, make most of their revenue, and where they’re listed on a stock market.
This is overkill for your example 1, but the apple watch has an inactivity tracker. It reminds you to get up and stand for a minute every hour if it notices you aren't moving. I've found it useful when I'm sitting around or working at a computer for long stretches.

For your time to stop alert, the only thing I've found that helps is throwing everything on my outlook calendar - it gives alerts 15 minutes in advance of the appointment and that's enough to make me realize that some task is coming up and I need to prepare for it.

I don't think I've seen an app per se that does exactly what you want
