DMesh is probably the most popular tool in this space that I've seen, but it's a very manual process (manually select vertexes and it fills the space with the average color).

Yours definitely gives a different look - a bit more aliased - which is interesting. Would be fun to try this one out too.
I picked up Godot years ago, and played with it on and off, because I am only a hobbyist. I have been spending time in Godot and in Stride[0], an opensource Unity-like 3D GE, but with a lot less clutter and fantastic C# and VS/VS Code support. Stride also has a lot of great documentation and examples, and you can utilize C# scripts from Unity with some tweaking. The visual effects program vvvv, has a new product gamma based on Stride[1]. When and if Godot gets stronger on 3D, I may switch completely to it, although I wish it had a Lisp/Scheme for the scripting language...maybe Janet[2] could be used! Like I said my wish list. I am so happy there are so many choices available. I started programming in 1978, so things have come a long way for sure!

Those numbers are normal in the US too for embedded or game software. Faang salaries are at least 20% higher than other software jobs and counting stocks it can be almost triple a salary for a SWE that is outside the west coast SV culture and isn't a quant. For games and some other interesting problems it is a matter of non monetary compensation. But I have no idea why people writing hardware drivers or engine control software make so much less than someone writing some web back end that is mostly gluing bits together. Even MS pays so much less than Amazon its bizarre.
I've been trying to do some E-Ink stuff lately and prices seem to get higher the bigger you go and then drop off. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but my experience is something like:

12 inch display: $1200

36 inch display: $1400
Wow so much misinformation in that statement. I purchase drugs routinely. What a condescending attitude to state that my dealers have more power than I. I’m an adult who is fully capable of making my own decisions. There is zero power imbalance. No different than buying a candy bar.

Similarly why do you presume a pimp must necessarily exist? The prostitutes I patron are simply grown self-employed autonomous workers. There is no coercion involved. They actually enjoy their work. Not everyone has the same hang ups about sex.
Clearly no one in these comments read the actual article. They are adding one more ad slot in App Store search results "according to two people familiar with its plans". This is such a non-story it's not even funny. Also what FB was doing and what Apple is suspected of doing here are completely different, it's apples and oranges. FB wants to track you across the web and apps on your phone, Apple wants to add one more ad slot in App Store search results, if you can't seen the huge difference between those two things then I don't know how to help you.
Could you explain this a bit for those of us that either never worked for a large enough organization, or that did not pay enough attention to the politics while there?

I get that a manager wouldn't want to put down their team since that puts them down too, but something this egregious seems so extreme that would not have those consequences, not to speak of the effect on the other employees' morale of having someone allowed to not work and get paid.

I don't see how someone can threaten a manager's career without having something over them, either being part of organized crime, be related/friends with a much higher up person in the organization, or have something on the manager for blackmail.

The software is indeed older than Covid, but its common usage by widely respected schools is not.

So your preferred solution would be to just stop all education for the duration of the pandemic? Although online education sucks, I'm not sure if most students would agree with you.
I think you're extrapolating way too far, and hence your arguments aren't hitting the mark. The total amount of invigilation in the entirety of each course I'm involved in is 3-5 hours. This has been the case for many decades. This year, for some students, it is aided by software, due to the fact that they're unavoidably thousands of kilometres away. It is not a slippery slope, and none of your dystopian ideas seem like they could result from it.

This kind of software does not monitor computer use outside of the test. It monitors the student during the test, like a human invigilator (yes, it's recorded, so not identical). During the test, the student is only working on the test, which is not private or secret. When the test is finished, the software exits.

I don't see how you could have the resources for an infrequently used testing centre, but not enough to pay one person for an hour or two. That is not what this kind of software is useful for.

Savings is for a down payment. Then you pay mortgages on the house and any savings are much better to keep (retirement, buffer, ..). If I were to save to buy my house (€800K) I'd certainly not be living in it before the kids move out, at which point I no longer need a house.

The price of a house on the market has a pretty simple formula: it's what two incomes can pay per month times the interest rate they expect over some horizon, and the expected monthly pyament of the principal (if any).

Where I live, I can stop paying back the loan when the loan is under 70% the valuation of the house, so it's then interest-only after that. And of course there are better uses of money than paying a mortgage: in recent history the stock market has been booming while my mortgage is under 1.5%. Whenever I have €1K lying around, I'd certainly not want to pay back 0.1% of my mortgage when I can save it instead.
Do you know if Europe's negative rates have made mortgages more or less challenging to receive. I can see it going either way as any interest is better than negative bond yields but how much effort are you going to put in if a mortgage rate is suppressed as well?
Most of the perks you listed like 6 week vacation and 35h workweeks are not the norm, not even for devs, but exception that some good companies offer.

25 vacation days per year and 40h plus overtime included sometimes are more the current norm for most dev positions on the market now.
What’s the chance someone with experience, but no education could get a job in an EU country. I’ve always assumed that that’s off the table for people like myself.
Sounds interesting. Can you provide overview of how it applied to you and what improvements you think you've made?
You’re saying it like everyone can’t wait to live in a welfare state and having to provide for the “welfare” of others. I for one am not looking for anything else than good healthcare.

There’s nothing “tilted” for life when you struggle to make ends meet while paying sky-high rent and having no prospects of ever owning your home.
If she is the best living Russian poet and this is the best her verse, then the whole Russian poetry is in very poor quality. I find nothing fascinating here at all. Even rythm is broken but not in a good way. Just broken.
Swiss labor market is tiny, so not much capacity there. UK no longer in the EU so getting a job there is harder I think. US is across the pond, might be too far away for a lot of people. So I'd say the labor market is a lot less flexible than you might think - lots of top talent still wants to work where they grew up / where their family is.

You're clearly doing something right, Rclone is a fantastic tool!
Well, someone has to replace them... and for many (most) people moving to Germany is an improvement anyways. ;)
You also have 38h/weeks, 20+ holiday days per year, actual free weekends, many free public services, affordable healthcare with fair insurance that doesn't try to bankrupt you, ... So it balances out. How much do you have to save per month for that 200k health emergency in the US? In Germany - 0€.

If you want to get rich either be a founder or go to the US for a chance at that. If you want a good and happy life with private time your average western European country is great.
If you think about it in terms of network topology, you'll see it's not completely arbitrary. In fact, the long-term plan for Matrix is to explicitly support the fully decentralized topology by using Dendrite, where a client wouldn't need to connect to a dedicated server at all. Instead, each client is also a server.
Is it illegal to intentionally create security risks?
> the right way

Yep. I meant it was easy to do it the inefficient way where you just refresh the entire query when any table mentioned in the query changes. You would just have to also check if something was a view and recursively parse the SQL that is used in the view. Just use Postgres `LISTEN` and triggers or the WAL for change monitoring.

> how these changes affect your query

Yeh, this is where it gets tricky. I think it can be simpler though if the SQL is kept simple with less exotic sub-queries, CTEs, JOINs.

Thanks for the links.
Yes. In Portland where I lived we didn’t make enough to live in the nicer parts of town so we lived in the north east near Gresham and crime was a problem out there. Lots of gang violence.

My comment was a bit flippant. But it was something I thought about from time to time. Here not at all.

tldr: preventing MITM attacks requires setting up an authentication workflow. Without this, you have no guarantees about who you're speaking to.

For example, TLS 1.3 does this by (after performing ephemeral DH key exchange) signing the conversation transcript with the server's long term identity key. After this the client is sure that they are speaking to the correct server, but the server has no authenticity guarantees about the client.

You don't have to use the mouse with tiling window managers...

/s heavy tmux user that left it for xmonad.
cryptocurrencies could easily go away. They have almost no adoption and the US or EU could look at just how much power and wealth is being controlled by Russia and China, how they're used for money laundering, or how Iran and so on use them to work around sanctions and just decide to ban them. It would be trivial.
I use a tiling window manager and use tmux - just because I can tile windows doesn't negate my use of tmux.

I have a single window that is all of my terminals - which to me is much easier to manage than a load of random terminals all over the place.
Sessions are named, and windows are named, and I have F1-F8 mapped to load the corresponding window, F10 brings up a list of sessions, and F9 toggles between the last 2 sessions.

Mine is based on https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux but customised for F keys, status bar, mouse etc
Anecdata:

I don't want to tile all my windows, only terminals, so I'm not interested in tiling WM.

I also jump between OSs and appreciate being able to have the same terminal multiplexing behaviour on both linux and macOS, without needing to learn the keyboard shortcuts and idiosyncrasies of two different GUI terminal multiplexers.

As another commenter pointed out, being able to multiplex in the exact same way for remote sessions is a massive bonus.

Lastly, tmux has a lot of features and customization and once you learn those you really come to appreciate them. Tmux can also look really quite nice, it doesn't need to look as boring as it does out of the box: https://i.imgur.com/MgUx0U2.png.
You can multiplex your SSH session and have several ssh commands running on the same connection (without having to type the password/check the security key again). Check the ControlMaster option for SSH.
I think about unit testing like “pouring cement around your house of cards”.

If you are good at unit testing you can turn your brain off and the tests write themselves. It’s about preserving any method chain call flows and preserving the integrity of anything that is parsing something, like a Regex or whatever.

Focus on testing after you have built a nice little house of cards... it will make it harder for another dev to come along and blow it over in the future.

Your post suggests high conscientiousness, logical thinking and self-inquiry. These are worth more than almost anything.

Formal environments are not always great at bringing out the best in people. It's perfectly normal not to have a fixed direction and to harbour self-doubt, particularly at your age.

Cross-disciplinary thinking and affinities are a sign of intelligence, not the opposite.

If, after substantial consideration, the environment isn't doing it for you, then consider changing the environment - relentlessly if necessary - until it does.

> Most business can't rationally avoid picking a cloud provider option - and that often means choosing between AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

It looks like this lie has been repeated long enough it became a reality for some people. Yes, you can perfectly avoid using a "cloud provider", as millions of businesses worldwide already do, from small companies to largest tech businesses (for drastically different reasons though).
This is the key people often overlook. If we stop using our AI geniuses to develop tracking algorithms and start building automation, we can have nextgen factories in the West.
The environmental factor is yet to be solved though.
For the most part, developing countries are trading environmental damage for money. Not much different from harvesting oil or other resources to an economist.
my thoughts exactly. No rythm, nothing fascinating. Looks like her "big name" is result of good connections in proper circles.
Its not an unpopular opinion in my book. The first sentence, especially the "it might be harder if you have a family to feed", is distressing. If an average developer salary is not enough to do that, then, what are the jobs that DO allow you that ?
I use tmux/screen when I am working via SSH for some reason. It's nicer to create the layout in a terminal multiplexer rather than having multiple SSH sessions, because if you ever lose connection or your laptop dies, everything is like you left it.

The fact that you're asking this question leads me to believe you are not, in fact, "not smart enough". That level of self-awareness only seems to come to those with intelligence - leading to effects like Dunning-Kruger and impostor syndrome.

More to your point about unavailability of internships, have you considered using other skills as a stepping stone? My first jobs in tech were nothing illustrious, and a far cry from what I'm doing now, but I was able to use them as a foot in the door. That wasn't at all my intent at the time, but in hindsight, I'm actually glad to have the extra context that came from working in a parallel track for a little while.
Completely agreed -- If you think you have ADHD, please get tested and find a doctor who can help you through the process of finding the medication and dosage that works best for you. It's not worth suffering through life and feeling like a failure because your brain chemistry doesn't work the same as most people.

There was a thread the other day on HN where the majority of posters shared very negative views on using medication to treat ADHD, many stating that you will become addicted and dependent on the medication.

I need to wear prescription lenses or contacts on a daily basis in order to function, yet I've never heard anyone complain about becoming "dependent" or "addicted" to prescription optics. In my opinion, there's a double standard here simply because we're talking about medication.
> I have trouble focusing, especially paying attention to details. I also forget things all the time

Me too. I don’t have any magic solution; mostly I’ve accumulated lots of little adaptations to help me overcome.

- I keep a checklist of things I need to remember or do in the future.

- I’m trying to quit social media and other things that give me quick dopamine hits in order to improve my attention span.

- I don’t try to force my distracted mind to stay focused, but I try to marshal it towards things that are simultaneously interesting to me and yet also valuable, like software hobby projects. If I need a social media fix, I come here or to lobste.rs where the material is more edifying than Twitter or Reddit.

Over the years this has paid off as my software knowledge and skills are well beyond those of my peers and my salary keeps climbing. In time I’m finding that things which were once boring (e.g., software project management) are now interesting enough that they can serve as these sorts of “valuable distractions”.

There are lots of areas in which I am deficient, but I have areas in which I excel and I’m always learning how to leverage my strengths to deliver more value such that I more than compensate for my weaknesses.

Even those of us who aren’t innately brilliant can add lots of value and thus have lucrative careers. No quick fixes, but the key thing in my experience is to always be learning and growing, trying out different things to overcome your obstacles, etc. I hope this helps.
If you are a developer in the US you are probably receiving all of that except college tuition. Worth the extra 60K/year in my opinion but I see the appeal of having the option to live off of social programs if needed
Today starts my 6th month since I unplugged my fridge
Latching on to this comment, I got "okay" grades, they were "fine", and "I passed I guess" in my mid twenties with a college degree.

However, by that time I realized I had a knack for writing code, a knack that pretty much everyone I've gone to school with in the decade preceding it did not have. They struggled to 'get into' programming, to get into that flow of writing code, to know what to look for.

I consider that my talent. It's been a good ten years now, and I'm still mediocre I think - but that's because I sorta know what I don't know, what I'm not good at.

I'd suck at the currently 'hip' technologies - AI, data science, blockchain - but that's all right because a lot of those are just buzzwords people put in job adverts to try and attract people.

I suck at those too, because I'm simply not interested in them. Don't pursue a career in something you're not actively interested in. It has to click, it has to make sense. And a lot of leetcode or data science just does not click or make sense.

I can manage fine with an SQL database, that's about it.

Anyway, moral of the story is, mediocrity is fine, you're still ahead of most.

Also also, disregard Mensa and IQ tests. Mensa is a company that wants to make people feel smart and better than others so they can flow subscriptions, books with fancy names and shitty dick shaking products their way.

IQ tests only measure how good you are at IQ tests, I'm sure you can practice them. In the end, they mean nothing; if anything it's a weird dick shaking contest where people take one IQ test, get a high score, and live off that high for the rest of their life. They usually get jaded though because a high score on an IQ test doesn't mean shit. It's like being called 'gifted' as a child, it paints you - and your self-image - for the rest of your life, and it can make you jaded when it turns out it's not actually worth much.

Anyway, that's not a problem I had, I was called average once (at a school doctor, in relation to height and weight) and that was just fine by me.
I take accessibility very seriously. A lot of the stuff I've written has been fairly critical to people's lives.

> Yeah, the "Fuck You. Drop whatever you are doing because it’s not important. What is important is OUR time. It’s costing us time and money to support our shit, and we’re tired of it, so we’re not going to support it anymore." is kind of true story for internal engineers.

Oh man that explains everything, I can totally relate to that.
Because money wasn't the deciding factor? When I became a programmer we didn't have the term software engineer, and we were reviled for our lack of social skills and poorly paid. I miss those days. All my coworkers were motivated by love of the job. If you wanted to make money you went into banking or finance or law.
As a russian speaker I wish to add that " the big names in Russian literature--going back to Pushkin" are highly overrated in my opinion. So I am not surprised about this one too. And usually I can spot good quality of a person by a few minutes of listening just to find out later that I was correct. It has happened many times already to be sure about it. I am using this all the time. I listen to a person for some time and if mhy intuitions says it's good then I digg more. Works like magic.

Doesn't that exact same argument work as well when applied to jailing people? It's wrong if I kidnap someone and keep them confined for years in a small room, so how can it not be wrong for the state to do it in the name of the law?
That's tangential to my point and inaccurate. Rogan is worth double Chappelle while enjoying far more of the current limelight to boot. Rather, my point is that saying someone isn't racist because they're friends, at least in public, with black people is fallacious and racist itself.
