Synchronized resignations are definitely more of a headache than staggered ones. For example, in a normal situation if I quit my boss will be able to hire someone to replace me, knowing what my strengths and weaknesses are and what gaps my departure has created for the team. If they quit then I am a source of information to whoever is hired to replace them.

Of course anyone is replaceable but some knowledge will be lost. Also your model does not account for businesses which are aggressively expanding and doing a better job than the average employer retaining their employees by either being a genuinely great place to work or LTIPs
AMD has done great work in a very short amount of time, but let's not forget that they're still very new to the GPU compute game. The ROCm stack is overall still pretty buggy, and definitely hard to build in ways other than what AMD deems officially supported.

As AMDGPU.jl's maintainer, I do certainly appreciate more users using AMDGPU.jl if they have the ability to, but I don't want people to think that it's anywhere close in terms of maturity, overall performance, and feature-richness compared to CUDA.jl. If you already have access to an NVIDIA GPU, it's painless to setup and should work really well for basically anything you want to with it. I can't say the same about AMDGPU.jl right now (although we are definitely getting there).

Spending time working on side projects is a common occurrence in-between employment for devs. I've done the same in the past, and simply explained that I was working on open-sourced software. If you've spent several years working on side projects I would assume that you have something to showcase on your resume.
I said "somewhat normal", "a bit rude", and "in the '80s".

I could bet you a billion old Lira that, if you went to a periferia today and asked around, you'd find that it still happens. Obviously it won't happen in gentrified areas and touristic city centres, where I'm sure the municipale (or whatever they're called today in this or that region) is focused on maintaining the honor and decoro of the city. But in the areas nobody really cares about? For sure.

This is done because your production yield is not 100%.
So instead of throwing away every produced component which doesn't achieve the target of your 100%-product, you "soft-lock" the components with 80~99% performance into a 80%-product category, and the ones with 60~80% into a 60%-product.
This way you increase the total yield-rate, and produce less waste.
The counter-intuitive waste happens when the demand for the 60%-product is exceeding your "natural" supply of 60%-output, so you have to start to "soft-lock" some of your "80%-product" production to the 60%-grade to fulfill demand...

Not GP, but most people are not secure enough (either financially or psychologically) to just quit for a year. The overwhelming default is trading one job for another rather than trading your job for margaritas on the beach.
I know a lot of people who are looking for alternative jobs because their companies expect a full return to the office. They are all looking for more flexible, or remote-first, employers.

I didn't do a gap year either. I left education at 16 and immediately went into FTE and have been there ever since (for longer than I dare count) and now that I am all wrapped up in a mortgage and kids I'm not sure I'll be taking a gap year any time soon (voluntarily, anyway!)

FWIW I have worked with several colleagues who took a gap year and never stopped. They pick up remote contract work along their travels and continue living the life of a modern day nomad. Not one of them is unhappy :)
Most people are open for new opportunities and are proactively or passively checking at all times anyway.

Linux on Chromebooks is Debian buster running in an LXD container. Being LXD there's no reason why you're limited to just one container either. I don't like to mess around with the default "penguin" container too much so I've added more. I've currently added centos7, centos8, ubuntu and another debian container. Plus you can take LXD snapshots, rollback, publish images etc.

Hint: Add a Ubuntu container and install LXD, then copy the lxc binary to your "penguin" container and setup a trust between it at the Chrome OS "termina" hypervisor. Then you can manage all your containers from the default linux install.

You hear a heck of a lot more about it on HN than happens in reality.

Maybe I don't hang out with the trust fund crowd enough but I don't know ANYONE who's taken a "gap year" where they weren't doing something for ~40hr/wk in order to make a buck. I know a few people who didn't jump right into career stuff after college but even they did low pay large applicant pool type jobs at least tangentially related to their careers (e.g. working as basically unskilled labor on tourist fishing charters in Miami before getting a real entry level job on a container ship). Heck, even the people who took a year off before college were doing stuff tangentially related to their career/skillset in that time (e.g. working for geek squad prior to going to school for CE). I know a couple people who went from full time to part time or to less demanding jobs in their field prior to retirement. I know a couple people who did jobs not related to their vocational training for less than a year after they got out of the military but that was more of a stopgap to keep a roof over their head. I don't know anyone who's gone from full time to part time or less unless it's part of a career transition or approach to retirement. I'm sure there's someone somewhere who's managed to pay their rent by waiting tables and stripping for a grand total of 15hr/wk and spent the rest of the time doing art or writing a book or something. I'm sure there's someone who's banked a ton of money and taken a year off in the middle of their career. I don't know anyone who's pulled something like that off.
For kernel programming, https://github.com/JuliaGPU/KernelAbstractions.jl (shortened to KA) is what the JuliaGPU team has been developing as a unified programming interface for GPUs of any flavor. It's not significantly different from the (basically identical) interfaces exposed by CUDA.jl and AMDGPU.jl, so it's easy to transition to. I think the event system in KA is also far superior to CUDA's native synchronization system, since it allows one to easily express graphs of dependencies between kernels and data transfers.

Sorry, but are we talking about finance or emotions? You're saying it's different in the US because of health care costs, but go on to say that she didn't revoke financial support, so finance seems a moot point.

With regards to emotional support, it sounds like her youngest child was close to 30, so I don't think that's a big issue. Of course it's nice to have contact with your mother even if you're 30, but it's a bit rich to suggest she "abandoned" her grown children. Presumably she discussed it with them first.

And most likely the kids married people that had at least one parent to get parenting advice from.
Good luck, and have fun!
I have some questions!

(1) Rule #2 describes particles that do not have enough phonological weight to carry an accent of their own, so that they combine, for pronunciation purposes, with the word that follows them.

Rule #10 then describes particles that display the identical behavior, except that they combine with the preceding word instead of the following word.

To me, those would both be called "clitics", the term I know for a word which is phonologically dependent on another word while being grammatically independent. You name the second group as "enclitics" and have no name for the first group. Do you see them as being different phenomena? Why treat them so separately?

(Actually, #2 appears to include #10 in that it mentions "a word that has two accents at different places", while the only example of such a thing arises from rule #10.)

(2) I wanted to think of the accent location as being sensitive to morae rather than syllables. But the examples clearly show that while a long final syllable will drag an antepenultimate accent forward, a long penultimate syllable will not. Might you be able to talk about why that is?
Interestingly, at the same time humans are said to have the capability of knowing the consequences of their actions as a very prominent distinction from animals.
I don't disagree, because "gentrification and improvement in education standards have resulted in progress, reducing this kind of behavior".

This is the important question. At my previous job the results of internal surveys would have these fairly high numbers, like 20% of employees don't think they will be here in a year.

But if you looked at the previous year's numbers, it was something like 18% or 15%. And the previous year's actual attrition was closer to 5-8%. So perhaps you could extrapolate if you had the attrition rates combined with survey data, but surveys are a much weaker signal.

Only tangentially related, but has been bothering me: How does a simple rechargable bicycle light cost $20 upwards?

- It can't be about chip/logic, as that's a commodity these days (as this post celebretes).

- It can't be LEDs, because they are dirt cheap too, especially red ones.

- Building the plastic case doesn't seem to warrant such a high price.

- The battery needs very little capacity, magnitudes lower than e.g. that of a phone.

- Is it maybe the charging mechanism through USB? Are there some crazy patent fees?

Um, Minecraft was executed very well. Maybe not as technically advanced as it could be, but Notch had a very good grasp on the player loop (you explore, you get resources, you build something..) and his artistic choices had a certain "poetry" (take now iconic creeper as a canonical example), which I think greatly contributed to the success of the game.

I've worked remotely for over 8 years as a senior software engineer, and I'm not going back anytime soon.

This will get interesting for both salaries and global movement.

Being a digital nomad certainly won't be as "hip" when everyone else can do the same thing. And now people are going to be competing with a lot of low-cost employees with equal skills.

This has already been the issue with offshoring, but now you can hire someone in Fargo, SD instead of San Fran, CA and pay them going market rate. For the same skills.

In the long-term, this might get people out of packed cities and horrific commutes and help become a rebirth of small-town America (or small-town Chile and everywhere else).
I recommend traveling. See all the places, you want to see, with no pressure of having to go back to work by a fixed date, soon. Meet people, make new connections, chances are, you will find new opportunities to work, along the way.

Bonus points, if you have all your stuff packed somewhere and not have to pay any rent. But it depends what you want, if you like your home, keep it. Have projects in your home ...

There are lots of things to be done. Doing nothing is also fine for a while, but gets booring very soon and puts you in lethargic state ... wasting your time.
>Im quitting and not looking for another job. Gonna use the savings to take a gap year, or a couple, work on some stuff I want maybe. Maybe more involvement in OSS is coming too?

Unless you have some serious FU money saved up, I'd strongly reconsider. A "gap year" as an adult can make you radioactive to potential employers. And that cash goes quick when there's none coming in. Trust me I know. It's alluring to just walk away. But trying to get a job when you're unemployed is literally 10x harder than while employed, regardless of the actual circumstances of your departure.

Just try taking a few weeks off first. And if that's not enough, ask for a sabbatical. At the very least have something lined up for a few months after you leave. Don't fall for the "I can have another job in two weeks" meme. It's rarely true in reality for all but the very top of the market.

A good fraction of people I’ve come across in uni in the US have taken gap years (or just take forever to finish college). This is not normal for regular immigrants these days. I did not have saturdays off from when I was 15 till I turned 32. Even then I was in a tech job which had great vacation but still not months at a time. It’s literally alien for folks like us to have an entire year where we don’t need to report to anything at all. I wish the OP the best, I’m still waiting for the day I can do the same but that’s at least years away.
There are ways to implement such a scheme in a way that does not increase the overall tax quota, by either reducing other taxes (VAT, income tax) or directly giving back to the people (tax credits).

One key argument of opponents of the proposed law was indeed that it would have resulted in an overall tax increase, with a lot of money being channelled into a dedicated "green innovation fund", outside of regular parliamentary control.

Unsurprising, many MPs on the pro side were affiliated with the "clean tech" and construction industries, who would have received most of that money.
