Yeah we really don’t have a good word for this in English. I have trouble describing what I do. Being a parent and educating your children at home is exhausting so it doesn’t fit with the common understanding of retirement.
Pfizer wasn't part of Operation Warp Speed, they refused to join because they figured the bureaucracy would slow them down.

They did take some money from Germany though, because it came without strings.

Is it a coincidence that they were the first vaccine approved?

So to be fair it should be Germany getting all those Pfizer shots rather than the US.

This seems really bizarre to not be included with the .0 release. The features are live, but the label states "Your instance (current version) is 13.9". It could do with some more refining perhaps.
I get where you’re coming from, but getting to a place of being truly retired with enough money to live indefinitely, and account for most disasters like the one in this post, is much more difficult. Especially with healthcare in the US.

I’m not saying having enough money to retire forever isn’t better. I get that you have even more options. But why not also be semi-FI all along the way and afford yourself those things that make you happy, even if it means you save more slowly and retire a bit less early. It’s about the right balance.

I’d rather take 3-months of unpaid leave to backpack Europe at age 30 than skip the trip in a saving-frenzy to retire. That same backpacking trip would be way less enjoyable at age 40, or even impossible with kids.

Plus, my job does make me happy — I know it may not forever, which is why I save so much money. But assuming I keep enjoying work, it doesn’t hurt to keep making money even after RE. I really just see FI as giving yourself options.

I don’t foresee it being a huge event when I hit my “FIRE number” since I’ll already be living the life that I want.
Since thunderbird tracks the firefox codebase and firefox moved to webextensions that broke a lot of thunderbird extensions too. They mitigated the fallout.

E.g. the virtual identities extension now is a first party feature.
I didn't know you could post fiction on Substack, also never heard of Royal Road. Could you recommend anything to get started with those? Specifically with writing serialized fiction. Or some example authors that have used it with success that I can check out?
Ignoring that this post reads like ex post facto justification, programming is communication. I could write a missive about why I write in English instead of Chinese and say something like 'English has fewer characters' and 'English is supported by more fonts' but the truth of the matter is that it really comes down to who and what I'm working with.

If you're writing Makefiles for a React app, for example, you're very likely doing something wrong. Even for NodeJS the standard is gyp.
First-party GPG support would be so nice to have some decades ago. By now seems everyone admitted defeat. Companies standardized on email as notification system for "you got a message in the actually secure medium". Humans standardized on using some inherently safe (but usually not open) communicator. Who is there still wanting secure email?

I love the idea of Crystal but I remember reading that compilation times can balloon very quickly for moderately sized apps.

Can anyone who writes Crystal today dispel or confirm that information? I imagine the inferred typing makes building a fast compiler really tough.

That would cost $10B in the US and take 10+ years.

Big construction projects here, notably tunnels, nuke plants, military procurements, and manned-space programs, are treated as long-term corruption siphons, reliably delivering hundreds of $millions of graft per year, over as many years as the taxpayers will bear.
I think that's a slight misreading, if we as a society, through our government, offer blanket loan forgiveness then the benefit and cost of that action can be appropriately distributed. The comment is asking for people to take the burden onto themselves and pay out to solve the crisis unilaterally which is an unproductive action at best.

Maybe Bill Gates and Bezos could execute a one time rent forgiveness program from their personal values - that might even work out pretty well in the short term, but it'd be placing too high of a burden on those two in particular.

This is a terrible simple rule if you have a cat. Most house plants are poisonous to cats.

https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-a...

In addition to plants, common human drugs like alcohol, THC and caffeine are also poisonous to cats.

Also common human spices such as salt, garlic and onion can be toxic too. Cats tolerate very small quantities of these (e.g. small slice of salami), but feeding your cat a chicken with garlic sauce is probably a bad idea.
How does that work? Doesn't that mean they're filling the role of both buyer's and seller's agents? Ignoring the moral complexities there (hint: don't), it means they're doing more work to get the money; presumably up to twice as much work. It doesn't see like they're getting a good deal.
I had a similar idea where devices are all just a bunch of input and output devices that declar themselves via zeroconf on wifi/5G. And you can have a portal on your PC where you choose which software to use one which device and control it all from there.

I was looking at Recoil this weekend and it does seem like a good use case, I just wasn't sure how it would simplify what I was doing.

I think I may have applied a bad design as I converted all of my React Components to React functions. Is it possible to instantiate Recoil atoms inside of for loops?
Basically, I would like to be able to scope state locally to React functions, but hooks don't let you do that, they have to be completely abstracted.

We live in the UK, in an "expensive" region (south-east). Our average expenditure, excluding mortgage payments, over the last 10 years has been, roughly, £25K p/a.

We're hardly living a bread and water lifestyle.

When we hit 67, the state pension alone will give us > £18k. You just need enough to bridge the gap.

The truth is - most probably don't need anything like what they think they need to retire early.

The system just wants them continually on the hamster wheel.
We're actually in between drag and drop libs at the moment. We currently use react-beautiful-dnd [0], but it has some major shortcomings and doesn't feel very well maintained. That being said, it's a pretty impressive lib that probably works for a lot of people as-is.

We've got a branch where we've switched to dndkit [1] which I like a lot - really nice API with hooks for everything. However, it has some annoying bugs that mean we can't quite switch yet. That being said it seems like the one that's hanging us up the most is nearly fixed [2].

Just somewhat related to the article but I think one thing which is often misunderstood about rust's is it's borrow checker.

The borrow checker is not about memory safety but about aliasing guaranteed.

It just happen that combining this with deterministic destructors (/RAII) happend to enable reliable "automatic-manual-memory-management" (or however to callit).

And combining it with some clever auto traits (Send/Sync) happen to prevent data races (if no unsafe is used, like always).

But the benefits are not limited to just that. Not just memory-resource management but also other resource management profits from this design.

Similar while Send/Sync is about multi threaded data race prevention there are also problems in single threaded patterns which are quite similar to that e.g. "racing" between iterating a collection and changing it in the body of the iteration, and the aliasing guarantees make sure you don't have such problems either.

Similar rusts main pointer type (`&`) does not only provide compiler time non-null guarantees but also provides compiler time guarantees about how the data can be accessed (dereferencable, writeable etc.).

And then there is the choice to use the type system to prevent application logic bugs in many ways.

So the bullet points in the table miss many dimensions .

But then zig is still a grate language, but trying to convince people that it's good enough by telling them that not reusing allocations seem to not be the best way.

Instead look at arguments why people still use C today (not C++!) what they conceptually like about it and you might realize many of the parts still apply to Zig.

Honestly Zig seems to be a grate choice for webasm or similar sandboxed systems where the potential damage of use-after free or double frees can be massively reduced.
I just use Debian’s installer, and I preseed it with all of my OS preferences (e.g. installed package list, apt config to turn off recommends and suggests, sysctl settings, adding unstable to apt).

Then I log in, add my auth essentials, git clone my home directory, and grab whatever else I need to get work done.

It takes about 30 minutes with most hardware, and a good network connection.

The US didn't spend significantly more than Europe, nor did the UK, but both did so a bit earlier and with more nationalistic approaches. Due to the production ramp this leads to 2-4 months delay for Europe. Still better than Canada or Mexico.

That German Biontech was allowed to partner with Pfizer will probably have cost 100000 European lives at the end, while saving 200000 American ones.
The convenience of that rare scenario is outweighed by the annoyance of hearing the chime thousands of times, imho.

Sorry, that got scrambled in an edit due to my conflation of "real world generalization" and "real world vs. ideal world training." The result is, indeed, incoherent.

Anyway, while "real world vs. ideal world training" is defined, you are correct that generalization is not, at least here. But definitions do exist, and more or less conform to what I wrote. Withholding a subset of training data for validation is meant as a proxy for the entirely new samples that will (presumably) be encountered upon deploying the model, but if the training data is biased or otherwise not representative of the real world data, then it is probable that testing the withheld data won't reveal the problem. In other words, the model generalizes well within the parameters of the training set, but not to the real-world data that has a different distribution, because the training set wasn't representative.

The Orange County, California, rental market has seen a huge surge in demand. I listed a rental property, and after two days, I had to cut off listings and applications. I had over 40 inquiries. I have never seen anything like this. I have talked to other realtors and the consensus is that people are moving from LA because the density of LA is causing a Covid fear, people can work remotely now and choose to live better in Orange County, and last year's riots caused people to be fed up with urban areas.

The EU did the same and they were also the ones funding the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine.
But I agree with your other comment about the US. The EU should have done the same. Restrict all exports to other countries until x million is delivered domestically.
Yes, healthcare in the US is a major concern. Hopefully we'll see the ACA get shored up here with a much more favorable administration - it certainly won't get any worse for the next ~4 years anyway. A couple that's withdrawing $40K/year from their retirement accounts is still going to get a pretty good subsidy on their premiums through the ACA which makes FIRE possible if you keep your income (and thus your expenses) down.

The fact that youtubers with a small following and a lack of monetization don’t make any money is not the result of capitalism. Do you believe that a different economic system would actually fund the long tail of entertainers?

The problem is not capitalism, it’s that most of the entertainers are not popular enough to make any money from their viewers, and many still wouldn’t be able to survive if they received 100% of the money YouTube gets. Then where would the money come from? If not their viewers, and not advertising, then who? The government?

It’s not a US or capitalist problem, it’s a simple cash flow problem. Can you imagine the Soviet Union or China funding them? Even the 10,000th van lifer?
DDG is ridiculous with resolutions. Categorizes 500×900 resolution as "Large". Otherwise it works for me as an image search engine. I usually return to google if I absolutely can't find what I'm looking for - google is better when it has to guess, with instructions like "yellow blob old game".

I use UniFi Protect but I wouldn’t recommend it.

It took me multiple days to figure out how to give another person in my house access to the doorbell camera because the UI isn’t great and in a constant state of flux. (https://community.ui.com/questions/Add-user-to-UniFi-Protect...)

Also, everything relies on enabling remote access to my UniFi router (a Dream Machine Pro) which I thought was something the on-premises UniFi stuff was supposed to help me get away from. Accounts have to be UniFi cloud accounts and not local ones. Protect is totally dependent on the UniFi cloud but they’re offloading the hardware costs onto you.
I mean there's not nothing you can do. You can still grab the source to old Reddit and it's just a matter of gluing the old UI to the new API like all the 3rd party clients do.

Not trivial by any means but there's a lot of prior art floating around you could pull from.

Sure they could pull API access and be more hostile to scrapers but that's the current escape hatch for people who would have left because of the redesign.
I've got 5 years of early retirement under my belt, and I feel like I've had the inverse experience of the OP. The first two years were an incredibly difficult transition period for me.

Losing the status of being a higher up at a successful (small) company was extremely painful, especially because I didn't realize how much of a perk of the job it was. Like many others in this thread, I realized work provided a venue to solve interesting problems with interesting people, and I knew I would miss that (but also knew there were other, non-work ways to scratch that itch). Looking back, though, the ego/status aspect was probably the biggest benefit, and I never admitted that to myself.

Fairly soon into retirement, I made the choice to address the issue by decreasing my ego needs, rather than pursuing another high status non-work position. In some sense, it wasn't too hard to do (though I did find that I had to give up programming for a while, since it turned out that, despite my love of math and puzzle solving, the real biggest draw of programming was the megalomaniacal sense of being a god in a universe of your own creation). The issue is, I went too far, and experienced pretty significant depersonalization, which, from the inside wasn't terrible, but I think made me too weird to interact with my family and friends.

I've currently accepted more ego back into my life (hence this self-centered posting, for instance), but kept it below the old levels. I'm happy with my life, and find it much more even keeled and comfortable than when I was working, though I still miss the emotional highs of succeeding in a big work project.

Anyway, I think what really got me to log on here and post this was seeing the various other posters claiming work as a source of meaning and maybe poo pooing the OP, a bit, for giving it up. Now, on the one hand, I'm not really disagreeing, but I just wanted to add the nuance that, for me, turns out most of that meaning was not coming from nice pro-social things like cooperating with a team and working on interesting problems, but mostly just base status drive and ego. Now, I don't know how much my experience applies to the general population and most jobs, but I have a feeling it probably does apply to a fair chunk of the readers of this forum.
Nim vs Crystal is an interesting read if not to just compare syntax (three articles span 3 years so I wonder how much has changed since):

How to say no, politely, to the registration wall that pops up halfway into this article:

https://outline.com/feLLTL
> Rust did not have checked arithmetic on by default

Except it does, in debug mode, which is the default compilation mode. And you don't have to tweak compiler settings or linters to get checked arithmetic in release: you simply call the checked arithmetic functions, which give the added benefit of giving you complete freedom in how to handle overflow.

Wherever you 'learned' this misinformation from, please stop considering it a trustworthy source :(
I'm not sure how telling Facebook (or Google) "you can't spy on people just because a page has a link to your widget" is even remotely the same as gaming an election?
Was that possibly before they backed off from global type inference? I think that was the cause of long compilation times. They require you to annotate a few types manually now which is an effective cut.
It really depends on the kind of volcano and the type of eruption. There are famously continuous lava flows on Big Island in Hawaii that have been going on for decades. These are technically eruptions, and they're a _very_ interesting subject for a photographer. Because they've been ongoing for so long, there are more-or-less reliable ways to get fairly close to the flows and back.

You're right for more violent eruptions, like St Helens, though!
I'm sad. This project had so much potential in the early days. Right now it's relegated to just being used by some aficionados.
The proof is available to anyone with the insight to accept it. We accept valid criticism, and so far, I haven't seen any that withstood the torrent of evidence that Islam brings. You keep going back to (experimental) science, as if it is the be-all end all of explaining existence, which is simply false. The few proofs I pointed out are impossible to explain by experimental science.

> I wouldn't be surprised if he was very dismissive of his ex-wifes struggle to find meaning, or desire to go back to work.

What you are saying is in direct contradiction with what he says in the article:

I was clear that if she wanted to go back to work I was eager to support her in this. I wanted her to do anything that might help. But my suggestions and support weren’t enough

My main takeaway is how 20miles/32kms is far from civilization. Not population, but civilization.
