I understand that, but Taylor was not accused of anything related to guns. I am not sure why the NRA should get involved with anything related to her. The charges against her boyfriend were dropped so they couldn't defend him if they wanted to. I do think if gun related charges are brought against him again the NRA should defend him.
> Yeah I'd love to figure out how you do that. 99.9% of the time that is a cultural and political problem that you aren't going to solve by being some incredibly persuasive engineer.

You answered your own question: Get better in the social/political/psychological sphere. Handling/tackling cultural and political problems is sort of a prerequisite to being a senior engineer. :-) This is sort of "standard career advice".

If you think going "political" is a betrayal of your values, then your thought process is part of the problem.
Where are you getting 1500 DPI?

Most printers start at 300--600 DPI, before ink and/or toner bleed. 1200 DPI is photo-print level.

Serif at ~150+ DPI is both readable and preferable to sans IME.

Your referenced blog entry makes no mention of DPI that I find. And makes numerous grammatical choices which lead me to question its authority.

For printer DPI comparisons see: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/effective-print-out...
One trick to question your own biases is: "If everybody were doing this, including people I don't like too much, how would that be?"

Agreed. I like the use of "why not" as a good faith question for this reason; it's a good segue into an interesting discussion, and there's also the off chance you'll actually produce a novel idea that inspires someone.
You have now changed the reason you're claiming she was fired, first it was asking about people's identities now it's that she wanted people to stop working. This leads me to believe that perhaps you reached your conclusion first, and are trying to find evidence to support your preferred result rather than the other way.

But even now your claims are at best only half true, reading the email she says people should stop working on DEI things specifically, as they can't be successful without executive sponsorship and execs only pay lip service. Is that criticism wrong?

But don't let truth get in the way of a good story, right?

Ask HN: Am I working too hard?
I really enjoy my line of work. I view it as an up-and-coming, innovative and ripe field in software. I have an excellent reputation with my coworkers as someone always willing to help out. I built out our core code that's used across the company for both older projects and newer ones, a powerful and flexible framework written in a modern language. I'm given both freedom and responsibility. I'm early in my career.

I have a questionable habit of working into the evening, and sometimes on weekends. I do drink enough water, lightly exercise, and sleep 9+ hours every night. I take plenty of breaks. I don't do any large side projects - every couple months I will come across an interesting toy problem and may write a blog post about it for "portfolio development".

I've been with my partner for 4 years, and we have a deep and loving relationship. We're both in software, and went to university together.

I find coding fun, and I enjoy helping out the company I work for.

Recently on HN there has been a surge of posts about burnout. I've read people's stories and see parallels with my own experience. I worry that I may be going down the wrong path and harming myself or my brain.

I used to enjoy video games a lot, but have found that I just can't get into them anymore. Spending my time and energy doesn't seem meaningful anymore unless I put it into something tangible - I pay too much attention to the hedonistic cycle / core-game-loop to enjoy myself. I do read fiction often and frequently.

There may also be a moral hazard - by investing my own time into my work, I disadvantage others who are not willing or able to do so, by seeming even more productive than my baseline.

Am I working too hard?

This is a spin on the fact that he was a participant in the murder of Caesar. Cicero was trying to take back power that had been lost to a very popular Leader by participating in the murder of said leader.[0] The killers and conspirators involved were all hunted down and killed.

I think what Apple _could_ do is insure that there is a real person that can be held accountable by law enforcement in the users jurisdiction. That way a user has some legal recourse in the event they are wronged.

Nobody wants Apple to be judge and jury, we have judges and juries for that, but it would be nice if they could tell us who to go after when we have to.

If they can't do that, I don't think its unreasonable for us to ask Apple to be responsible any losses, then let Apple seek compensation for their losses from the app publisher.

There's nothing "wrong" if someone is an anxious wreck socially while being an amazing engineer. It just means that the company also needs to hire a good manager to take care of this brilliant individual. VS if they could hire someone who's maybe not as brilliant, but still sufficiently good to execute the engineering tasks that the company requires, but doesn't need a manager or anyone to tell them what to do, just does it and makes everything run smoothly. In fact, maybe even communicating with other teams and helping them run even smoother than before.

Then you can see where in the first scenario you had to hire two people and only one in the second case, and in the second case you're getting even more additional value with your senior engineer doing partial manager-y things. So now the second individual is maybe 2x as valuable to the company as the first, and you can see it's a no-brainer for the company which to go with.

Zoom and the pandemic have had an effect here, but so has the success of companies not based in the US. Atlassian, Canva, SafetyCulture (to name a few) in Australia has not only helped grow the local VC ecosystem, but also made US VCs recognize that Australia punches above it's weight.

VCs new they had to make investments in Asia and South America as they saw more successes come out of those regions.

Technology is global, so VCs can't afford not to be.

However, I believe most of these VCs still expect companies to be set-up as Delaware Corps. Anybody have any insight on that?

I think this is the crux of it, frankly. People can be fired for arbitrary reasons, including violation of company policy, even if that policy is not backed by force of law. If you perform unauthorized access of customer info willfully and that is in violation of policy, why does HR need the force of law? If you were a key holder and repeatedly left the door unlocked at close despite previous warning, while not violating the law you should likely be let go.
I'm about as far from a Musk fan as it is possible to be, but this is so clearly a joke that it take a real effort to read some kind of evil intent into it (beyond Musk's normal "I'm trolling on Twitter" annoying nature).

I agree, apt is a path well traveled and python2 -> python3 migration had some opportunities for improvement. On the other hand I can custom build nginx with a TUI and have package registered as an actual package instead of just being dumped into /usr/bin & /etc/ like with a manual build on Linux. That feature alone makes me believe FreeBSD packages are a tiny bit better as I use it all the time.
Various states were turning a blind eye to ransomware operators on their soil because it was considered a petty crime. It wasn't even a variable considered in international negotiations. But if a superpower like US suddenly views ransomware as terrorism, it becomes diplomatically relevant.

Because the government is "feeding the bears".

When you get hundreds a week to not work, why is it any wonder that people choose not to work? When you start working at a $10/hour job and lose $20/benefits for being poor because you pass a threshold, is it any wonder people can't get off of government "assistance"? When it makes more financial sense to remain single and get benefits than it does to get married and create a stable family, is it any wonder?

The American Government is taxing the successful, rewarding the lazy and acts surprised when it has obvious effects... They are feeding the bears and making them dependent on handouts.

Probably for stupid reasons, but a legitimate reason for downvoting you would be because that is no such thing as a gun which is illegal[0]; that's the whole point of the second amendment.

0: Except maybe something like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device) if applicable arms limitation treaties make it also illegal for the military to possess one.

I sure hope so. However this time we can see from the past what side of the media is willing to capitalise on the lies and mask the truth for so long until a certain entity that goes against the mainstream establishment is literally deleted off from society.

They were serious when they said they will do anything to prevent anyone that they dislike from being in that position of power. Anything also includes spreading disinformation, hypocritical actions, censorship, de-platforming and fake news.

I’ve also noticed that publishers try to sabotage the used book market:

2) provide “online” accounts (for answer keys, extra chapters, etc.) that can be signed up for with a key provided with the book.

3) publishing large books as thick stacks of loose pages three hole punched for binders. Without a proper binding these books will soon be worthless, even on the used book market.

Yeah, I’ve also gotten a lot of mileage in the last few years using the emotional version of this. Instead of listening to a proposal and saying “well that obviously won’t perform fast enough” I’ve started saying things like “I love this but I feel nervous that it might be slow once you have it working”. The difference is subtle but important, because I’m being clear I want them to help me dissolve my fear about the performance issues. We’re on the same team in a way we aren’t if I make it confrontational.

The kind of R&D that DARPA is doing and the kind of R&D that Facebook is reporting in their yearly report are very, _very_ different numbers. Every single tech company reports ongoing development work as "R&D," whereas much of the work that DARPA or other national labs do is exploratory and towards a lot of different projects.

For instance, at every company I've worked at, all of the infrastructure is under the R&D budget.

If the rate of information transmission is still limited by the speed of light in a vacuum, I fail to see how this finding leads toward "peaceful applications that will benefit humanity." Can someone enlighten me?

EV + PHEV vehicle marketshare in China in 2019 (most recent year with data) remains under 5%, though it's doubled in 2 years.
