I really don't think the message of this article matches the state of the industry today. Annual bonuses in many companies - especially in the tech industry - are practically considered part of your compensation, and often times base salaries are adjusted to account for them (I've seen as much as 25% of comp laid out in "bonus").

It's a flat out awful structure, as people will legitimately wait until they get that annual bonus to quit, which can mean unhappy people staying in a job they don't want, making others around them unhappy as well.
This is a nasty thing to say to someone who is talking about the circumstances of when they considered suicide.

It doesn't matter if you think it's true, or if you think the person deserves it, or any of that. It doesn't matter if they're rich.

In the end, you are the asshole. You are the one dunking on someone's toughest moment in life. If you can do it to them, you can do it to anyone.

It's not justified "because they're rich". The same idiotic logic is used by pompous jerks who litter "to give janitors something to do" or who treat waiters like shit "because it's their job". Maybe you're reading that thinking "that would never be me" but, I've got news for you, that IS you. Just a different flavour of it. The person on the other end is human and you treated them like dirt.

You tried to shit on someone who shared their lowest moment in life. Let that sink in, deep.
Hi there I have a question - why relays and not transistors? I would have though relays would add to the latency, and might be why some notes were missed.
> White roofs don’t look great

What looks great and what is not significantly affected by what are you used to see. In the place I've ground up galvanized steel roofing was common and I think it looks fine. But someone who used to dark roofs likely would tell that galvanized steel looks ugly.
Yeah, the responses written by the author are kind of weird. Here's another gem:

Thanks for that mansplaining. I had no idea that there are more nuances to this.
You can also log requests and filter out obvious bots. Reading the logs, and using basic filters, gives you a decent idea very quickly. I suspect Google Analytics became so popular because people stopped running their own servers. And these days it's ridiculously easy to run your own server.

Maybe a mineral deficiency after a lot of sweating? You could try with some good magnesium supplements (NOT magnesium oxide) or a spinach smoothie (dark green vegetables are rich in magnesium).
powershell is okish, but installing. tools with it packaged in different formats with different installers and differnt options sucks.
that is hours clocked in I guess, there's a similar pattern in Italy but they are not working more they are staying at the office longer

they chose to so that they can skip other obligations (family for example) and as you said it's mostly a men thing

Sure i do talk positive about crypto too. But i would never tell anyone where to put their money.

Its just wrong to think all people in crypto are evangelising others into their ponzi investments
> I’ve seen a few of his interviews on YouTube and particularly some of his CNBC interviews.

The on with that women at Standford comes to mind, he flat out comes out and says he 'wants to be wealthy in order to be influential,' and is what is left when you're a billionaire: so, given his presence within the high profile VC World and now his spots on the 'all in' podcast I'd say he is making his move. He kind of teased that we would run for Governor on the run up to Newson's recall, only to back track on that. I also saw he is a default 'who to follow' on Clubhouse when I was invited.

The truth is I'm a fan of Chamath, mainly because he calls entrenched the SV wealthy on their BS; it doesn't mean he is a saint but you can tell he gets fed up about it as much as any reasonable person does about how much self-serving non-sense it's built on.

But I also like him because he is cognizant of how his position in life as a billionaire has more to do with sheer luck and timing than anything else, including working hard, and fully acknowledges how his position is untenable for most millennials and Gen Z despite all the kool-aid drinking in SV filling every founder's head that they can be Elon 2.0 if he just works hard enough.

I'm not that familiar with his SPAC positions, it all sounds too much like the derivatives of 2008, which is enough to keep me the hell away from it.

I like what Social Capital stands for, but I would never invest in it, but I'm glad it exists.

His position in Bitcoin, 2012 was early despite what another poster says: I was there back then and you seriously could only get drugs or socks with it so I'd say a tech person getting involved was rather early.

Incidentally, that was the year we finally got retail merchant's attention and did a lot of merchant adoption for Black Friday so it was a remarkable and notable year for many. What followed with the 2013 ATH is when we had our first Eternal September moment.
Ah, The cousins of the Temporarily embarrassed Billionaires/Entrepreneurs.
I somehow understand you. However, I had some time to reflect on this (because I am similar to you, in a way) and the best I got to is: it's just business.

You can be motivated as much as you want, but tomorrow you can be replaced. Your company gets acquired, and you happen to be in the "wrong" office. Bye bye. Or whatever other reason. Covid! Bye bye again.

We are just minions with a good technical knowledge. And if you don't step up and get closer and closer to CTO level you'll be "just" working on features, sporadically "exceeding the goals set" and get rewarded for that. Yay. Get the most out of it and that's it. If that's enough for you, so be it.

Learn, develop, make shit happen, iterate.

Do you want to have a major impact? It takes hours and stress from your own personal life (I couldn't stress this out more), things don't come easily.

If you want to have power you need to be your own boss. And even then I wonder how much power you truly have.
This is where Flatpak and Snapcraft can help you out. Just bring all dependencies with the binaries. But then people complain that dependencies aren't up2date and how they're a security nightmare because they aren't packaged by the Debian team.

I have high hopes for Flatpak and Nix.
I Have a this too and it can feel like I'm broken for that, as it's the exact opposite of people who feel energized from exercise. I'm not in bad shape at all but even a 1hr walk takes some time to be back to where I can focus on work most of the time. No solution yet sadly, apart from doing it in the evening when you don't need to do anything afterwards.
Same here. No solution yet, other than lighter workouts or moving them in the evening. I rarely get the multiday effect too, but it takes multiday effort to get tbere and I vary rarely train hard enough.
It's still used a lot in finance for file delivery.
Having been promoted to managing a team I was previously a part of, I feel your pain.

If it helps, consider that this person might have tried exactly the same ploy with whoever was in your shoes. I'm sure they had some issues going on in their life, and issues with the existing management that you inherited unknowingly.

Management stress is real. Part of it comes with maintaining confidentiality, whereas a disgruntled employee will rant and get things off their chest.

I won't say it's 100% about the role and not the person, since that's dumb - interpersonal relationships are real and significant. Equally, it's not 100% about the individual. FWIW, and taking your description at face value, I think your response was appropriate and theirs was not.
Even though Redis might be 16 times faster than PostgreSQL at reading JSON blobs, it doesn't mean that it is using 16 times less CPU doing so.

A while ago I benchmarked Redis vs PostgreSQL and I was initially fooled by the difference in query time. But after a deeper investigation, I realised that, even though each individual PostgreSQL request was slower, the maximum request per second when the CPU is maxed to 100% usage was pretty similar between Redis and PostgreSQL. I was benchmarking a count query with a multi-column partial index, so this might not translate at all for reading json blobs. But I think with those kind of bechmarks, one need to be very careful and shouldn't jump to conlusions that easily.

If the authors concern really is the 10ms difference it makes for each individual request, then the benchmark makes sense. But if the concern is to make the best out his server's hardware, I think his benchmark needs more work. no conclusion can be drawn at this point.

Regrets are pointless. Had I known what I know now I'd have put my (unused) beer budget into crypto this time last year and be looking at retirement now.

Ignore the money, divorce your happiness from money, and do what makes you feel happy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
At winter day is shorter than night and even during the day sun is relatively low so for black roof would likely emit more energy than adsorb.
On many accounts, it is better than most paid healthcare in the US and it’s objectively better than no healthcare at all, which is what many US residents are left with. But most importantly even the paid healthcare in Europe depends on the infrastructure and industry upheld by the free healthcare.
I know, just shaking my fists at the sky with my hair loss, no worries.
> FAANG exists as a multi-trillion industry only because pere inert content junkies with a thumb.

Yes, but that's basic biology, not anything that has to do with strength of character or freedom of choice.

"People" are also into heroine. Should we allow to build a multi-trillion dollar industry on that?
Why? My job is extremely easy with a great team and manager. I could get more, but I'd have to work in a high stress environment, and life is too short for that shit.
Kudos: Compliments, highlighting successes, lauding positives.

Within a 11 year span of working in same but large company, once you’ve mastered the resource management, the hardest leadership skill is kudos ... toward your upper management, ... knowing when to let yourself down and have your boss get the kudos instead.

- IMHO, the ADHD workers are the easiest to managed (trick is gaslighting their focus into a hard problem that highly interest them for them to tackle). My Kudos are often brushed off but still required to be dispensed tactfully.

- Laziest workers are definitely the hardest to narrate a path for task completions. Kudos are rarely a good tool for shaping of the lazier’s task path and too easily overused toward increasingly diminishing ROI.

- But upper leadership kudos requires letting go of your own greed, avarice, possessiveness, ... in many words to shorten, the real power in leading.

Harder still is making the your middle boss of many middle bosses look the bestest of the best. Even to a point of moving his name in front of your invention patents.

That was a strong sign that this rat treadmill isn’t for me and that I truly have the entrepreneurial skill to strike out into a smaller company and startups.

I excelled there as well but the happiness factor was way better.
My cuurent mindset is that the first 15 minutes of (light) exercise in one's day are for health, not for fitness.

Skip it for a few days/months and you'll be less healthy and more letargic.
Not sure if same, but I experienced similar to this when was not paying attention to heart rate and running hills. I thought the harder/faster the better but I was nearly maxing my heart rate for my age, and was exhausting me. I've felt much better now that I keep my heart rate in the 75-85% range during runs.
> Giving the government such power gives them the oversight to use the "clandestine manipulation" excuse on other things as well.

Like for example?

> Personally my view is that the cost is worth the benefit, because the alternative is much worse.

A comfortable view if the cost is mainly paid by others.
For digitalocean at least, there is quite a large difference between the “basic” droplets and ones with dedicated vcpus. In this table, they both look the same. I’ve seen 2-4x differences between the two: https://rob006.net/en/blog/how-more-efficient-is-cpu-optimiz...
This comparison is far too simple. It's like confirming a Formula 1 car is faster than a sporty sedan car in a drag race.

That's true for legacy MSI. MSI comes in two versions now. There is also MSIX.

MSIX is actually quite good. Apps run inside a semi-virtualised container, so that writes to the registry and AppData are redirected. Uninstalling the app therefore uninstalls all of it, even if the app doesn't cooperate. MSIX can also be upgraded automatically in the background by Windows itself.

However, it's new, so nothing uses it.
Same happened to me, but I was at a point in my life where I didn't need to do a lot of deep thinking so I continued anyway, and after a few months my body had grown accustomed to it.

I can now push myself to my limit and will feel fine after 15 minutes.
Thanks for sharing your story.

I‘ve had/have a similar experience. No seniors here to learn from but got it up to top performance with reading (joelonsoftware was a great inspiration back then), investing lots of time (but rarely overtime) and being ambitious.

I believe you also learned that you shouldn‘t be the single point of failure. I‘m still actively working on that. Though it‘s hard to relay to others if they just can‘t get it done or don‘t share your ambitions, vision or views of quality and customer focus.
But there‘s always hope.
I do also run occasionally when the weather is nice. My cardio of choice is bicycling, which I do twice a week either for 1.5 hours on a trainer or 40 miles (~2.5 hours) outdoors.

I used to run a lot more, but I never actually enjoyed it. I just forced myself to do it to burn calories. Walking I enjoy much more, so I do that more now instead.
I get something like I have a cold for a day after, headache, tiredness, sneezing, runny nose.

I get brain fog the same day too. I've not heard or read of this occuring normally. It's not bad enough to stop me driving but it is enough to stop all work.

I think it's fatigue basically and I've found that gradually increasing my fitness allows me to do more before this starts. But it's not listed as what fatigue is, especially the brain fog bit.
Wow, 25k is a LOT! I try to average 7-8k a day, and post-Covid I hope to bring that average to 10k a day. It's the perfect base to stay healthy for me, with all other more intense cardiovascular exercise (e.g. strength training or HIIT) being extra 2 or 3 times a week.

25k would really take a huge chunk out of my day, I think at least 3 - 3.5 hours or so. But it really depends, working from home means I'm sedentary all day. In other jobs you wouldn't have to squeeze everything into the few evening hours so much.

The biggest issue I have with walking is that the city becomes a bit boring. I love walking and exploring, but I've also lived in the capital city of my country for decades. Every day is new and brings new little experiences, yet also many similar ones. Especially because I'm always leaving and returning from and to the same place, there's a limit to my routes. I've walked the same streets thousands of times by now. On holidays in Europe or Asia I easily hit >40k steps daily because it's just so much fun, every corner brings something new, architecture, a river, a forest, a square or park, or lots of little shops or eateries or public art pieces.

> But using your money to buy happiness after your ten hour work Saturday is not going to be a big success, either.

It depends. If working 10-hour Saturdays for a year results in me buying a yacht, you can be sure that actual real money bought the happiness that came with my yacht.

It's all a tradeoff and for some things you are unlikely to get the big payoff without a risk involved. Determining where your personal boundaries are with the risk-taking is an individual decision.

TLDR; you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.

You are missing the bandwidth charges. And recalculate with those too.

Other thing you're missing is that many people believe you either go cloud or build your own ASML-lithography machines. No in-between.
Did you day the word voltaren close to your phone ? That happened to me for real estate investment discussion over the phone with my mom.
For me, I really like getting out for a walk but don't care for running at all. It's not a matter of sweating--if there were walking/hiking available that involved some climbing convenient I'd do that. But just don't enjoy running and it falls into the category of maybe tomorrow.
I've known very hard working people making very little. Life is a bit more complex than that.

There are multiple factors that contribute to success, but it's unlikely that maximizing just one of them in the absence of the others will lead to great results. Most successful people have gotten there through some combination of hard work, being born smart, having the means and opportunity to get an education, building a good network, etc.
It just so happens that 15€ is a typical price point for 100M uncapped, unlimited 4G service in Finland.

No, you are absolutely right. It is extremely naive to think actors/celebrities (whose million dollar movie contracts, photo endorsements and ad placements, and other visual body marketing media, depend on their physical appearance being top 1%) are doing this without drugs.

Your observation about Hugh Jackman is on point. If you need more evidence, look at the difference between The Rock (a pro wrestler and admitted user) between 1993-2003 vs. now. In 2021, he’s at least 20 years older, and yet his latest action movie appearances have him at a lower body fat, and higher muscle mass % per height than when he was 20 years younger? Come on, that’s not how biology works.

If you go to any serious website or forum where actual steroid users converse, none of this is shocking news. Drugs make for fast body transformations, and the results revert back to natural limits once you stop the drugs (useful for an actor preparing for a movie/show/appearance, who then does not care about that look once it’s finished).

Originally it might boost peoples morale, as they think there is a bonus to be gained. But after people figure it out, there morale drop will probably be a net negative.

It definitely would be a net negative for me, as I would feel screwed.
That's a great way of shutting down discussion without having to address any of the points AND has the advantage that it looks like you know all the subtleties.

The only downside of this technique is that people become less likely to collaborate or help you -- but who needs help when you have great techniques like this to fall back on?
Almost all spam is not profitable enough to pay humans to do every step manually, so if you make it that expensive, it's the same thing as winning.
It's more of a cultural thing, different cuts are done in different countries. If you ask for a boston butt it's the same - they don't stock that, and never trained for it. I showed a chart to a butcher and he said the top shoulder is always separated but offered me pork neck which worked OK.

I think cows are big so a lot of places won't break down a full one and the briskets already come with the flap removed, last time I asked they said it wouldn't be simple to provide (I'm in a major city). So I tried the half brisket but it didn't have enough fat cap either, tasted OK but was too dry/tough. I'm sure there is one who can provide it somewhere, or by mail order.
The only way to do 3-4 hours workouts daily is to take performance enhancing drugs. Those hired dieticians are controlling diet, workout and drug regime.

Think SAP/XERO but crypto first.
Agreed, it is much more pleasant when exploring. These days I also end up often seeing mostly the same things in my few staple routes, but also usually something new as well.

I usually listen to audiobooks or bring a book to read when taking a path I've taken before, which usually alleviates the boredom problem. But it's not always necessary, sometimes if I'm in an energy surplus from delicious bread and sweets walking just feels so good on its own.
I have no sources at all, but my memory tells me that I've read that Visa, Mastercard and similar sell "anonymous" transaction info and that Google is their customer. I've been living under the assumption that Google could de-anonymize practically all that transaction info when they match it up to all their other info they track us with. Maybe I'm wrong?

I think that usually these things are actually just a symptom of the fact we see hundreds of ads every day. Most of the time you don't consciously notice them but then, when they trigger some recognition, you do and it feels like a big coincidence - which I find almost as disturbing as the idea that they were somehow watching.

The eerie feeling compounded by the fact that we are sometimes correctly targeted and there's no way to distinguish the two. Zeynep Tufekci writes a lot about the this type of thing if you're interested in it.
