the web UI, logging, graphs, top blocked sites/queries are all really nice to have and are great for diagnosing badly behaving apps/clients/websites.

i am sure that this is all possible using some slick openWRT command line/LUA magic/plugins/god knows what, but my time isn't free, and i'm not interested in hacking that all together on the same device that provides internet access.
>>The deposit thing looks insane to me too. My rental deposit is held in escrow by some third party; I've never heard of anyone not getting their deposit back when they move (unless they did something to deserve it e.g. trashing the place). The only issue around deposits is that you usually have to pay a deposit for the new place before you've received the deposit back for the old place, which can cause cashflow issues.

Anecdotal but myself (multiple moves) and most friends in London had to battle for a few hundred quid being attempted to stolen from the deposit before returning for various BS reasons. The dispute scheme was great as a tenant, but did mean months without the funds back.

Hinge | Software Engineer(s!) (Backend) | New York (NYC), Remote until September 2021 | Full-Time

Hinge is the dating app for people who want to get off dating apps. In today’s digital world, singles are so busy matching that they’re not actually connecting, in person, where it counts. Hinge is on a mission to change that. So we built an app that’s designed to be deleted. On Hinge, there are no rules, timers, or games. Instead, you’ll meet your most compatible matches and you’ll have unique conversations over what you’ve shared on your detailed profile. It’s a natural way to find a great first date. Currently, 3 out of 4 first dates lead to second dates, we’re the #1 mobile-first dating app mentioned in the New York Times wedding section, and we’re the fastest growing dating app in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

Hinge is looking for software engineers to join the Backend team. As the newest member of the backend team, we are looking for someone to help us design and build the next generation of high-performance APIs and backend services in Go. You will be on a cross-disciplinary team including other backend engineers, mobile engineers, product managers, and designers where you will lead development of new features and improve the quality and reliability of our services.

i work with MF too. im just saying the argument of "digital came and made analog irrelevant" doesn't really apply for me where I personally prefer 35mm over digital, let alone MF where you have "megapixels for days"
Personal attacks will get you banned here. No more of this, please.

Rather than superciliously putting someone down when they're wrong (or you think they are), why not share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn?

Kira Systems | Senior Quality Engineer| Toronto, Canada | Remote | Onsite | https://www.kirasystems.com |

We’re Kira Systems. We’ve built machine learning software that enlightens the world’s enterprises by enabling them to truly know what’s in their contracts and documents. We’re bold in our decision making, clear on our mission and – most importantly – passionate about pairing the power of human know-how with a powerful product.

We are hiring a Senior Quality Engineer to join our cross-functional teams of high performing Developers, Product Manager and a Designer. Our developers run their own unit tests, we have some automation suites, and we do new feature testing and run well organized internal Beta programs with every release. We need a talented Senior Quality Engineer who can help us expand our test coverage in both automated and manual, but also help us strategize the most appropriate testing method. Java is required, but C# is an acceptable alternative (learning Java will be required). JavaScript, Go, or knowledge of a functional language would be a nice bonus.

That doesn't mean that they don't collect data for other purposes, which include analytics and tracking on how to change the service and said data is still valuable.
And a lone ship in the middle of a vast sea is somehow different?
Given that humans are the most successful species on the planet, if this is "an innate part of human psychology", then this trait is probably useful. Beware of survivor bias.
This is my experience too - almost everyone who hung out with me in the library, computer lab or metal shop seemed to do fairly well for themselves - not like 200k tech job well but like 80k blue collar or white collar when most of us grew up with less than 40k combined household income. Half of us first or second generation immigrants and refugees, lots of broken families, lots of substance abuse, lots from Romania, Serbia, Irab, Iraq, China.

IMO it was passion for reading and building things with our hands that that seperated our cohort from the rest - that and the bond between those of us who knew we hadn't much of a safety net to rely on.
Completely agree. There are three primary forms of bias: Human Bias, Data Bias, and Algorithmic Bias. A better solution is to improve existing machine learning models with existing solutions (e.g., domain adaptation, domain generalization, discovering latent domains). This will improve the overall performance.
I feel a disconnect between what you say and the article you linked:

> Fire up new coal power plants

"This whole calculation is changing dramatically, however, as Germany moves to shutter its coal-fired plants (the country’s last will close, at the latest, in 2038) and nuclear power stations (which will be disconnected from the grid in 2022). On Jan. 1, 11 coal-fired plants—nine in North Rhine-Westphalia and two near Hamburg—went dark, and others will soon follow."

> Increase emissions due to constant ramp up and ramp down of carbon plants

"And after a period of stagnation in the 2010s, the greenhouse emissions of the world’s fourth-largest economy have been dropping again, last year by around 80 million tons of carbon dioxide. That puts Germany 42 percent down from its 1990 emissions level, thus surpassing its decade target by 2 percentage points."
> It's the kind of thing that casts a shadow over your whole life.

Shadow really though? I'm super glad everything came through my own work, I'd hate if my parents gave me anything. I hate spending any money, to me that is just sensible though not a problem.

Yeah exactly the same here. Sometimes big awful crisis appear in a country but more often than not, people scoff and get on with their life.

As I grow older and start raising a child, I realize why the anger and will for change, the passion and hysteria you show when you're young are never followed by those who ve seen a bit more. This all doesn't matter, and living a regular monotonous life, making your little monkey turn into a human, is all most people end up caring about.
GTA is many things for many different people. For some people, it's a racing game, for others it is about socializing and modding cars, for some it's a dogfighting game, some spend thousands of hours grinding the same set of PvE missions (for some reason), and for many it's a third and first person shooter / warzone simulator.

But it requires Ahead-of-Time compilation, as well as full-fledge optimizing compiler. But for sure, this approach has it's own use cases.
There are plenty of ways a lazy programmer will want to pass the records into something else that either doesn't handle non-printables, or does but the user doesn't like how it looks.

TSV also works more reliably than CSV, because most people don't put tab characters in the data in these kinds of records. Tab is even the default field delimiter for cut. But everybody uses CSV, because again it's easier to reason about the above. (shrug)

> I spend an enormous amount of money on tools and equipment. I'm the one helping all of my friends build, move or fix things.

I grew up lower middle class but my dad grew up poor. I think a lot of his practices still rubbed off onto me, sounds a lot like what you describe.

We have a friend who grew up comfortably and have noticed how that influenced their more laissez-faire approach to life. E.g. when we help them move, we do most of the work. There’s a sort of “everything will work out” mentality on their part, whereas I’m constantly worrying about how it’s all going to fall apart.

It’s not really good or bad, though. I almost envy the carefree attitude. Childhood trauma tends to make people try to control things more as adults, and I wish I didn’t stress things so much. My wife also grew up more “securely” and we talk a lot about how it informs our worldview differently. Thankfully it doesn’t cause problems though, it’s just interesting. I think we’re just different enough to make a great team.

And as others mentioned, I value the life skills I gained by my upbringing and early start on working for myself. I can build and fix things, and cook really well. Gonna be just fine, I think.

Happy building, busterarm!
Thanks for sharing. I have a debian box that I try keep as standard as possible, and I think this setup would fit my environment well.

12 hours of sun, the best you can hope for any time soon is about 3kwh put back into the car. In other words, a few miles of range can be restored.

There is a reason no car manufacturer is currently seriously pursuing solar roofs - it's just too small a surface area to generate meaningful energy in a car context. The math doesn't work.

We might see systems (as we've seen in past) where solar helps power accessories on the 12v system (AC/in car entertainment etc), but its not going to meaningfully affect range of the vehicle or help top up the traction battery.

> “In recent years one of the most common pieces of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs has become that you should focus on building an audience. Everyone is screaming it from the rooftops.”

No, one of the most common pieces of advice you have heard might be that, but by definition, you are only hearing advice from people who have an audience. You’re in the audience. They’re the people you’re listening to.

People who have prioritized other things than building an audience don’t have much of an audience, so you don’t hear so much from them.

The same thing happens in all tech communities, not just entrepreneurship, by the way. Many of the voices in dev Twitter are actually voices in DevRel Twitter, because DevRel requires you to build an audience - while merely being a dev doesn’t. Same is true of the online security community, or game dev YouTube. The voices you hear, the ones who are telling you ‘here’s how to get noticed! Make content! Stream on Twitch!’ - those people are visible, but not necessarily the right people to emulate unless your goal is... mere visibility.
"What in the WORLD!? This is a tiny 12v house lead acid battery. It is not designed or intended to be used as a stationary power source to POWER A HOUSE!"

It's a totally reasonable use-case and is done all the time for a variety of reasons. It works just fine using an inverter like this one:

https://gpelectric.com/products/3000-watt-industrial-pure-si...

... and although we use a different emergency power solution now[1], we used an inverter like this with the plain old car battery in my Chevy Silverado for 5-6 years.

The issue is not that a 12v lead-acid battery can't be used for this - it's a common use-case, actually - it's that the backing store for that 12v battery is usually an ICE with a full gas tank and not a big bank of lithium batteries.

But I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine ...

[1] The excellent DEWALT FLEXVOLT Power Station which is a charging station for four 9AH tool batteries but you can also plug into it and get power out. So you use the batteries you already have for tools, you get a nice quad charger, and you have hours of 15A power out.

True, but I guess 95% of mac users are still on Intel macs, are still being told by "genius" bar frontline support to reset the SMC / zap PRAM for any kind of issue, and this usually works, too.

> Who's the victim here? As far as I know it is legal to sell your self digital assets at any price you'd like.

Lets say I run a lunar land registry like this: https://lunarland.com/. I have a friend of mine buy a worthless deed from me for $10, then "sell" it to himself for $10,000. Now $10,000 is the "market price." I then use that transaction as "evidence" to hype the idea that lunar land deeds are serious things, part a growing market, good investment opportunity, etc. In the ensuing tulip mania, I pocket a pretty penny selling a lot more worthless deeds to lunar land. The victims are the people convinced my misleading hype to invest in them.

Now I'm not claiming something like is actually happening here, but the whole thing is fishy and I think it's a serious possibility to be considered.

> if someone decides not to put in the effort required to succeed at the job

I read this rhetoric constantly, then I look at a bunch of hard working people that I know, who are poor.

Luck is the opportunity to succeed, hard work is the way to capitalize on that opportunity. One without the other means no success. And on that same note, you can make "good decision" that cause you to miss out on amazing opportunities, and "bad decisions" that end you up in with great opportunities.

I've made plenty of decisions that I thought at the time were kinda dumb, but put me in serendipitous situations which ended up landing me great jobs. So really, the luckier you are, the more chances you'll have to escape poverty; if you're willing to work hard at those critical times, you'll actually succeed.
I once was interviewing at a company for a graphic designer position. My previous job was paying me just below $30,000 and I desperately needed to increase my income to keep up with my bills (college loans, rent, food, electric, etc.). My vehicle (1987 Chevy Blazer) was not very reliable (in ~2010) and wouldn't you know it - I broke down immediately after parking in a lot directly in front of a sign that said "2 Hour Parking, Vehicle Will Be Towed At Owners Expense".

I'll never forget the embarrassment I felt after a pretty underwhelming interview explaining that my car was broken down outside in their lot and asked they notify their security so that I was not hit with more expensive fees. I've had some pretty significant financial hardships - some much worse than this, but this moment in particular really had a lasting effect on me.
State expenses have to be paid and if the wealthy don't pay, who is? I guess the one who can't afford an account in places like the Caimans.
And of course Corporate income tax is a hight source of tax money. The larger the share in profits, the higher the share in tax revenue. The question is why isn't it the highest source of tax income?
I can't wait until they're ubiquitous. I think I read somewhere Rust was considering them. That'd be great.
I made myself use Fish for a week as an experiment. Day one was a little rough. Day two was easier. On day three I decided to customize my prompt, and after seeing how trivially easy that was (you write a fish function called "fish_prompt" that uses shell commands to build your prompt) compared to Zsh or Bash, I was... hooked.
