I actually always use an alarm even though I can wake up even at 10 in the morning if wanted. Not using an alarm is ideal if you sleep well at night. But if you don't, then setting up an alarm ensures you wake up at the same time every day. For me it also means that when I don't sleep well at night, I don't compensate for it in the morning by sleeping in. This one is important to maintain my routine and making sure I will be tired the next day at my bed time. The alarm wakes me up every day at 6:30am and I never continue sleeping after that (I go to bed at 11pm so 6:30 works for me).
I started investing aggressively and realized that the way to live a sane life and real work-life balance is to focus on growing my wealth over time instead of growing my salary. I was lucky to retire early, but what's more important is that I was able to distance my self worth from my position at the company I was working at.
Very, very common.
There is no need to crack the key. You just need to replay the signals with variable per-satellite delay to shift the position however you want.
Burnout and boredom are dramatically different concepts. A young person is here asking for advice on burnout and you can't even give advice within the same zip code. That's really upsetting.
If they monetized their YouTube channel I’m guessing it would be their biggest revenue source, as far as I’m concerned they are an entertainment company already.
I worked in an electronics store in the '80s. Once a month we would have "TV day", where all the warehouse guys would smash old TVs and other gadgets. Great way to relieve stress...
Building a life outside of engineering and your company is really critical. Once engineering is just a small component of your life you can learn to not overextend yourself for the cause of your engineering projects.

Find other activities that spark passion and intellectual curiosity; I could spend much of my intellectual energy just thinking about designing my gardening plots and be satisfied.

Learning to keep emotional distance from my day-to-day profession was one of the best things I did. I log on, mostly enjoy what I do, collect my paycheck, and use it for the things and people I love.
Veles[1], which is abandoned nowadays, sadly, is more powerful alternative.

Honeywell FMS systems use AMD29000 to this day, including in new designs, and Honeywell even bought the licenses to operate as fabless manufacturer for it.

The reason is simple - they need stability of parts supply with minimal recertification costs, and in this case it means that by having an already certified cpu (AMD 29k) and full manufacturing line capability for it, they don't have to face issues with vendor deciding to scrap a line (like another popular design, i860, had to deal with) or having to constantly recertify and update for newer parts.

And quite often the computing requirements didn't really grow
this is true, its also problematic because you're studying a system that not only constantly changes but will also change based on the fact that you observe and report on it.

I spent 4 years developing in a mix of Forms, WPF and MFC for such domains between 2014 and 2018, and they keep looking for people in 2021, without any plans to migrate to Web technologies.

Regarding MFC, given the way Microsoft killed C++/CX and replaced it with clunky tooling for C++/WinRT, I actually consider it more productive than coding IDL files by hand without any kind of Visual Studio support.
perf/area comes with a huge number of caveats and it basically doesn't mean anything as given.

For example, the exact same verilog, on the same process node at the same foundry, can synthesize to very different areas depending on the standard library used. They come in a lot of varieties with a lot of different trade offs.

For even more detail, the SkyWater130 node, which has been popular on HN lately and is public so we can actually post links to it, has 6 different mappings that are possible. Note, some are called high speed, or high density, etc. You get the idea.

I think that the strongest plausible interpretation of this whole thread is that AI is officially on the downward trend of the hype curve. We're now so bored with the subject that, in the HN comments section for an autonomous driving data set, we'd mostly rather just argue about blockchain.

Speaking as a jaded professional data scientist, I couldn't be more pleased about this development.
This is why the "oppressed" don't listen to their over-educated saviors. Its buzzword bombing namedropping tired crap, like most continental philosophy.
Very cool! Excellent visuals in this article
For me, the best part of Christmas & new year holidays was the entire company (HQed in west) shuts down. Without exception almost every single office across the world shuts down. It means absolute radio silence, no emails, no slack messages, no nothing. I realised the usefulness of it only when I recently experienced it first hand.

Unlike me taking two week personal leave, there's no anxiety of missing out on important decision, nothing to catch up on when I return. When everyone's back from Christmas holidays it's like the whole company wakes up from two weeks of hibernation. I found the break very refreshing. I wish we would do it more often, say twice a year or maybe even four times a year but one week each, one per quarter.
Bing is one of many sources from which duckduckgo derives its results; kind of like what's going on here with Brave's new search.
I'm not saying this is what you're suggesting, but I also feel like medicating people with amphetamines so they can be 120% productive 40+ hours of week is also not the solution to everything

We're humans and especially those of us with curious brains, we get bored easily doing the same unstimulating tasks over and over again

Maybe it's fine if he does what he needs to do in 3 hours and slacks off for the rest of the day, if it's enjoyable to work with him, and does what he is paid for, I only feel like this 'work yourself to the bone to make someone else rich' culture has created all this pent up guilt

We have SSDs now. That alone made a huge improvement.
What are the statistics? All of these companies are still contracting out their labor to factories in countries with lower labor and environmental standards.

Nike chooses not employ any laborers for a reason. I do not see them advertising that the people making the clothes badged with the Nike symbol are working maximum 8 hour days, or maximum 40 hours per week, or getting vacation days.

It is all prose. The sweatshop conditions and disparities in quality of life at work between developed and developing countries have been known for 30+ years. The only thing causing improvements for the laborers in developing countries is increased demand for their labor, not some unverifiable PR response by Nike.

Somewhat related I also wouldn’t be surprised if within the next couple of decades all driving related data is being monitored and aggregated, so that could also be used to build sort of a social / behavioral profile on someone and not just feed into self driving AIs and insurance data

Yes, yes, I realize that you can't just s/bad word/*/g across your database of comments. Nevertheless, it's a much easier job than teaching an AI which references to monkeys are from cuddly wildlife accounts, and which are abuse sent to black athletes.
SimCity's main issue (and this was true as far back as SimCity 2000, maybe earlier) is that the "car traffic" goes from residential -> industrial -> commercial in roughly that order.

This means that one plot of industry + one plot of commercial is enough to satisfy an entire residential neighborhood's worth of traffic planning.

Similarly, one plot of residential + one plot of commercial is enough to satisfy an entire industrial zone worth of traffic.

As this design decision became more and more widely known, power-gamers took advantage of it to make weirder and weirder cities that don't look like a real city at all.

------------

Cities: Skylines has a better traffic simulator. But its got too much emphasis on traffic simulation without actually having enough controls over traffic.

Police departments can only go as far as traffic lets them. Optimize for traffic, your police cover a greater area. Schools only go as far as traffic lets them, optimize for traffic, your schools cover a greater area. Etc. etc.

------------

I guess I'm liking OpenTTD, even though its not really a citybuilder. You can plan the routes of every train, bus, airplane, and boat. The cities do NOT grow naturally (the more traffic you provide, the more they grow. Its not like SimCity / Cities:Skylines where you need to provide a variety of services to make a house grow... its assumed the cities "figure out the details" as long as you provide enough traffic planning).

Its simplified and "less realistic" than Cities: Skylines. But because its a bigger focus on traffic-planning that Cities: Skylines, its a more "honest" game IMO.

If you're gonna make all elements of the game rely on traffic, then focus on traffic like OpenTTD does.
> Please don't misquote me. He said that he is not sure that women can coexist in the workplace. Yes, this is very conservative.

I quoted you exactly, but I misinterpreted what you're saying. I do recall him saying something to that effect. That basically there are dynamics between men and women that make it difficult for them to cohabit in the workplace. Keep in mind that expressing uncertainty is not the same as saying women shouldn't cohabit in the workplace, or that they can't cohabit in the workplace, or even that they can't perform more or less equally with men in the workplace. Personally I think he's making a bigger issue out of that than what it really is.

> The figure he quoted for software engineers IIRC was around 118, meaning that 80% of people can't be productive software engineers, which is completely bullshit.

You can be a software engineer with a lower IQ, but I might not hire you or want to work with you. There's not some magic number, and IQ is also just a flawed proxy for intelligence - which is just one of the real underlying prerequisites. In this job market you can definitely find work, but you likely won't be at Netflix or Google.

> He went as far as to say that people under 80IQ are simply not productive in society, which is what insane.

If that's what he said, obviously it's wrong. They're not likely to be as productive a member of society as people with an IQ of 100, generally speaking. That also seems pretty self-obvious. Without sources, I'm taking you at your word with all your recollections here, and they're out of context. It could just have been exaggerating for effect.

> But more to your point, IQ strongly correlates with academic performance. Actually, the SAT is basically an IQ test. They correspond to academic performance much more strongly than actual job performance in almost every field.

Yes, it's just a proxy for intelligence, and it's flawed.

> Knowing this, is the observation that fields which require high grades to get into have higher IQs as descriptive as it seems on the first take? Not really.

Makes sense.

> How about the fact that IQ is actually very variable on the individual level across time?

Like any test, you can improve your score with practice and preparation. But often that's also making you smarter - intelligence is not fixed at birth. There's some part genetic potential, some part epigenetic adaptions to your environment, and some part learning. You can definitely set the goal of becoming more intelligent. Even if I do that, I'll never match Einstein, no matter how hard I try. But I can rise closer to the limit of my genetic/environmental potential.

> But it's really stupid to say someone of average intelligence can't become a good programmer or even a good physicist.

I don't think it's stupid at all. I think it's quite unlikely an average person would be good in those fields. Let's say we define good as one standard deviation above the mean (if it were just the mean, then we would use the term average, not good.) And if someone does pull it off against the odds, they may well have done so by becoming more intelligent.
Custom Software Development Companies for Startups: How to Make It Work
The artist who did the characters for Comic Chat, Jim Woodring, has an excellent comic series that is worth checking out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_(comics)
Was driving around and saw a new business with one of those expensive light up signs being installed.
“Thai Porn”
Umm okay that’s absurdly bold.

A week later a new sign was being installed, “Thai Food”

So I guess a translation error, and no one thought to say something until after it was installed.

Expensive mistake.
WHO decomissions CMS, orphaning old links
Wondering why they haven't licensed it under GPL3.0 so at least other countries would have to also open source their apps if they reused the code. Also if some company reused the code to implement some malicious verifier that do tracking it would be easier to find out.
Intel already had a kind of monopoly and the prices were going down.

In Portugal there were only PCs with Intel CPUs around, the Cyrix, NEC and other clones were hardly anywhere to find until the first Athlons came to be.
I was teasing. :) There’s no TOSS. You could write a TOSS request, but most software wouldn’t acknowledge it.
I’m pretty sure I just saved a previously returned item from this fate. I bought something just yesterday from Amazon labeled as “new, but with a damaged box”. The item was heavily discounted, I think around 40% off. I could care less what the box looks like or if the individual parts aren’t wrapped perfectly if the item is in good working condition.
Thinking that regular expressions can provide a$$istance with removing profanity is a clbuttic mistake.

(The point being that determined posters can work around regexes trivially and that regexes have a high occurrence of false positives.)
I have asked a question.
Interesting. I imagine you are probably a few years older than me. I was too young to have that thought back then... but maybe I would now.
Consumer goods returns generally follow a pattern.

Some items, especially for third parties, disposal is determined by the third party. This means if the item is not selling well and the third party (amazon has lots of these) doesn't want to or is not big enough to go through the liquidation approach, and doesn't want to pay storage fees and penalties for slow sales.

Other products are not selling well.

A retailer may go through a liquidator if the quality of returns is high (mostly new in box). You'll see people flipping this stuff on ebay all the time.

For premium brands there may be restrictions on resale to avoid devaluing the retail brand. Or they'll only sell in store for physical pickup (outlet style etc).

In the end calculation are made, cost to process, sort, return, restock, liquidiate etc. For items $25 or less it can quickly be not worth it to cycle the product. Especially if there ends up being scuffs and dings on the instore product etc (shoppers are rediculously picky sometimes).

That said, if this is hard to find items, they usually find a good market (returned AMD processors etc).
You’re arguing against a more extreme version of the point I’m making. I’m not arguing for no tests, I’m arguing that uncle bob over states their capabilities by a lot.
It's a browser with built-in cryptocurrency nonsense. That should tell you everything you need to know.
> Good, but he doesn't deserve much credit for finally trying to fix a problem he created 40 years ago.

Sure, and if it passes the rest of the country doesn't get much credit for finally catching up to him in trying to fix it (he sponsored a bill to fix it in 2007, while he waa still in the Senate.)

But its still the right thing to do, whether or not wrong things were done in the past.

Clickbait headlines might not lure readers as much, may confuse AI
Because you don't want to publish "this weather balloon was incorrectly identified at first because the only radar system pointed in that direction can't tell the difference between a flock of birds and fleet of bombers" or "we know that wasn't a chinese stealth drone because we already know that looks like this."

By disclosing what you identify and how, you reveal your capabilities and limitations. While some information may be harmless, you never know what a sufficiently clever adversary could exploit. Given that there is no benefit to making the information public, secrecy is a good default behavior.

None of the prominent cases (during cold war or not) has forced any company out of business [0]. Some companies/individuals were required to register, and a few were fined, but nothing as drastic as you claimed. (“they could completely financially deprive the organization”)

And China Global Television Network was forced to register as a foreign agent in 2018 due to FARA. The fact that it is still running today in the US, without having all its assets seized, speaks a lot about how HK’s NSL is much harsher than US’s FARA.

> If you have 7 users Monday, make a big change on Tuesday and now on Wednesday have 4 users, which then stays the same count for years. Is that really better for your community?

Does this argument hold up for literally anything else advertisers might not like? For example (no moral equivalency implied), if you banned X (pick one: pedophiles, nazis, kkk, racists, snuff, animal abuse, warez) because advertisers perceived your website as having an X problem, are you sure you're not a little too intensely focused on the "line goes up"?

Does the reverse hold up? If tumblr tomorrow decided they would allow X content, and they estimated 30% traffic increase, would that be good? If course not, the pool of advertisers would shrink in quality and quantity.
> the law, designed to make violence [..] against LGBT people and disabled people, [..] a crime

I am shocked to hear that that assaulting wheelchair-bound people is legal in Italy, especially given its aging population. I agree, this law is badly needed!

> Italy’s rightwing press has been stirring up the issue by referencing the application of anti-homophobia laws in other countries. “Absurd examples have been used to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going to happen if the law passes in Italy,’” said Mickens.

Does absurd mean false? What are these examples? It seems unusual to only present Mickens' rebuttal to the arguments, and not the arguments themselves.
Lex Fridman interviewed Brendan Eich earlier this year (a real gem of an interview, in my opinion).

I found all of it interesting, but here's a timecode link where they begin to discuss the current era of "browser wars", technical aspects and history of privacy protections, ads, search, and how that's all related.

Submitting this as an example why "Cool URLs don't change" is actually important. Breaking the bulk of their links in a year when they're needed the most seems like such an obvious no-no, but apparently that old rule hasn't made it far outside the tech bubble... :(

Are they? I only have a pretty small sample size but the programmers I know all are quite happy with how much they're paid. Do you have any backing for the claim, personal experience possibly?
I agree, but I would qualify that, while removing profanity is easy to do, it is not easy to automate, and more importantly, it's not uncontroversial - just less controversial than removing hate speech. There are plenty of people who would be very upset about their comments being removed just because they contained profanity.
Seriously? Do they swipe right for "allow"? Why would anyone get married there?
