Ask HN: Not finding joy in development anymore. Where to next?
Hey HN,

Over the past couple of years, I've slowly lost interest in programming. That's fine, per se, but is also a problem because I can't identify another professional-level skill I may have. I started programming early in life, and devoted a lot of time to that. 20-ish years later, I need a change.

Problem is: where do I go from here?

Obviously, over the course of my career, I developed a lot of soft skills, but so far I can't identify one strong skill that could 1. land me a job and 2. let me be efficient in that job.

Who around here has been in this position, and where did it lead you? Is there any "easy win" job transition that could work well, be close enough that I can use existing skills, yet different enough that the day-to-day problems are not the same?
I agree, but how do you plan on submitting the crash report without submitting your IP address?

They were unblinded after the tests to enable a discussion:

After the listening tests, I showed the systems to Major and Gonda, discussed the prices and features, and concluded by asking them which type of system they’d be more likely to buy.
The ideal proof of work algorithm should serve no other useful purpose besides enabling disparate actors to provably sacrifice resources foreign-to-the-system. Anything the PoW algo does which is useful above and beyond provable sacrifice increases the incentive for PoW miners to attack the network.

For example, if you could either use your GPU to mine $COIN for $10/day or to mine $ANTICOIN for $1/day, you could attack $COIN in full knowledge that your GPUs would still earn $1/day of $ANTICOIN afterwards.
YOLOv5 Export Competition
> I think a good way to keep the cause alive is to backup or mirror the 85,483,811 papers hosted on Sci-Hub.

There's already an effort where the data is broken up into 100GB chunks [1]. Looks like the entire database is duplicated now at least 10 times. [2]

> Anyone remember Napster? There were extremely obscure musical recordings that were instantly found on Napster that are impossible to find even today.

That existed (and still exists) - there was oink.cd, then what.cd, and now RED. But each incarnation has lost things. Each time you burn down the library, you're bound to lose something.
It's disappointing there isn't a legal way of cultural preservation. We need something like a crowd sourced digital library.

We are excited to announce the first-ever Ultralytics YOLOv5 EXPORT Competition with $10,000.00 in cash prizes.

Our goal is to help everyone easily train and deploy the world's best Vision AI models wherever they want. To help us offer the best deployment solutions for YOLOv5 users we decided to open this EXPORT Competition and let our amazing community contribute their own solutions, with prizes for the best submissions.

Based on community feedback, we created 5 categories that represent the most popular real-world deployment scenarios for YOLOv5 models, including Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi, Google Edge TPU, desktop CPU, and Android edge devices.

Competition participants will create export tutorials for the category of their choice, including open-source code and full documentation. Submissions will be judged by the simplicity and reproducibility of their export methods, the quality of their documentation, and the speed and accuracy of their exported models. 50% of submission scores will be decided by Ultralytics, and 50% will be decided by community feedback (by summing or ).

First-place winners in each category will receive the full prize money of $2000.00. The competition will run from May 17th, 2021 to August 31st, 2021. Full details on github and any questions can be asked directly in the discussion thread or by starting a new discussion. Thanks for reading, and good luck.

> And crypto gives the entire world that great experience, without needing a bank or a government

ha ha keep drinking the kool aid:

- crypto is difficult to use (really, no one wants the hassle of managing private keys)

- transactions are irreversible (i realise by design, but actually most people just want some measure of fraud protection)

- often high transaction costs

- slow transaction times (>10 mins for btc, often longer, versus literally instant for conventional payments)

- very, very limited transaction rates.

- oh and you could easily lose your cash with no recovery (go to point one re private keys)
I'm quite niave in the ways and make up of financial instituations. But from what I can tell - many of the US regulatory bodies seems to be private (but not ostensibly for profit) companies.

Arent we all switching from plastic to paper, bamboo and wood? (In particular in throw away items.)

I cant stop thinking about goats after reading this, they eat everything, do they share these types of microbes in cow stomachs, do they differ, are they 'stronger' microprobes, can they perhaps process more different types of plastics?
You don't need a reverse shell to do crash reporting.
Blender has become so awesome in the latest versions. I think switching from other software is quite easy, even if some things work differently. It also has an industry standard preset for hotkeys...

I use it as an amateur, but there are really good tutorials that allow you to render high quality scenes in a day or two.

I use the occasional 3D model on a website, and the pipeline from our industry CAD software to the web with an short detour through Blender works flawlessly.
So You Want to Make a Fiction Podcast? (2021)
I used to love Sonos and recommend their products to friends and family.

But as time passed, far more options for playing a digital music library, or from streaming services, have appeared. Meanwhile, Sonos devices have got even more expensive, and they've tried to make some very popular earlier units obsolete.

I guess I expected too much by treating Sonos gear as 'hi-fi products' - expecting the devices to last essentially forever if not abused. At the end of the day, they rely on a lot of software, and in particular rely on being controlled by mobile apps, where the idea of 'backwards compatibility' is simply not a thing any more.

So it's very hard to justify Sonos prices, knowing that there'll be an artificial limit to the lifespan of the devices (even if it's a pretty long one by tech standards, it's short by hi-fi standards)
The mathematicians who study topos theory, the 'internal logic' of whatever category etc. are definitely "real" mathematicians, and they have to care about constructive settings because these come up very naturally in that field. Constructivism is not an isolated niche anymore, it interacts with "real" math too.
Why not just pair them with an engine? If they win they are cheating.
Then any opinion they give after knowing is worthless. Why bother publishing that?
There's a lot of discussion about hydrogen as an energy source for cars in Germany.

It is generally considered more ecological than electric, because of much lesser environmental footprint than required for producing batteries.

Another advantage would be bigger driving range and faster refuelling.

However, it looks like that outside of Germany, electric cars just won, and Germany itself will not be able to reverse the trend.
Yes; that's even worse.
Impressive work. In case someone wants more of an academic read, this is the earliest paper I could find: https://syslab.cs.washington.edu/papers/mobilehub-ubicomp15....

This paper did not introduce the sensorhub concept, but provides a good primer. If anyone has a paper on the actual concept, would be interested to know.
>That's insane. Like I mentioned in another comment, high-quality rips of 1080p movies tend to be 5 Mbps, and that's generally with a lot more detail and motion than what your camera is filming at home.

I would double that, for at least movies. Not sure if you are going to see an increase in quality in smartphone style cameras.

One possible reason would be to "group" reports: if 95% (or even 100%) of a certain error come from a single computer then there's either a very obscure bug or something wrong with that computer. If all reports come from different computers then it's a much more serious issue.

IP addresses aren't really super-reliable for this (corporate networks, ISP NAT), but many people still are under the misapprehension that they are, and it's probably reliable enough for this purpose.

I don't know if that's the reason; but it could be.
I guess it could be used to cut and crop recordings to sound like a legit thing? Reaching here ...

While there is room for arguments whether these changes to Audacity actually constitutes spying, I believe it's rather their vague wording (and potential reach) that worries people. Rightfully so, I would say. More often than not, developments like these don't end up well. Also the relative little info there is known about this new owner (or backers) appears worrisome.

Anyone knows if there is more known about this new owner, their history and or financial backers?

When this news initially broke, I remember there was a lot of mystery (with some few red flags) surrounding this new owner. I got an uncomfortable feeling that this could even be a front or proxy for a commercial entity that sees Audacity as competition. Not sure how much was payed, but this could be a relatively cheap way of knocking out an open source alternative. On the other hand, abusing an existing install base for any kind of intelligence harvesting also is a popular business model these days (actually criminal in many countries, but sadly hardly ever enforced as such).

Either way, after reading several pages of back and forth on this issue a while ago, I'm convinced that these new owners either don't quite get what they bought (or what it means) or that they do but simply can't really care (and therefore can't be trusted).

Until there's a fork, I'm not toughing this with a ten feet pole.

Well Yes and No. They are bringing part of the Supply Chain out of China, slowly in the name of diversification or Indian expansion whatever people want to call it.

But they are also courting and helping Chinese companies coming out of China to set up in other places.

Basically it is the same supply chain jut not located in China. Not entirely sure this is "getting out of it".

trying to build my values on truth makes it impossible for me to reconcile any such built values with things like liberalism, equality, egalitarianism, religious beliefs of any kind, etc. Basically pick all the dearly adhered to values of the "left" and "right" in the English speaking west and tear them up and toss them into furnace.

It not a pleasant experience, especially in the culture war riven excessively online world of today, where it makes, to me, everyone who is left wing, right wing, Nazi, anarchist, liberal, egalitarian, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, [religious not ethnic] Jew, leftist, centrists, libertarian, classical liberal, conservative, BLM activists et al, proud boys et al, etc all existential foes on the grounds of fundamental moral truths.

Hello all,

I've been learning Go in my spare time and since I am a pretty active gamer, I decided to create a Prometheus exporter to view my stats in a Grafana Dashboard.

It's been very fun to do so, and I found it a very nice way to learn the language.

The Valve API is very confusing, but this exporter tries its best to return useful metrics.

Hope you like it!

Well, climates settled science lost their credibility already when ice age they predicted in 1970s didn't happen. Instead, the temperature trend reversed so they took U-turn and appeared again, now with «global warming». And... managed to lose credibility again with Climategate (forged data scandal) and had to rebrand to «climate change», the current agenda. So, in total, right now we have the THIRD round of climate hoax.

re: career suicide – classical carrot (grants) and stick (leftist cancel mob).

Also:

The claim that 97% of scientists agree on the cause of global warming is inaccurate. The research on 11,944 studies actually found that only 3,974 even expressed a view on the issue. Of those, just 64 (1.6%) said humans are the main cause.
>However, one disadvantage of producing hydrogen is the losses during electrolysis. The overall efficiency in the “power to vehicle drive” energy chain is therefore only half the level of a BEV

That seems to be more optimistic that what I've heard in the past. What's the efficiency of electrolysis+compression (or whatever step is necessary from bubbles to fuel in a tank)? Isn't that already well below 50%? How efficient are fuel cells in converting Hydrogen back to electricity? I thought I remembered that this too was a bit worse than batteries.
As someone who was (in my opinion wrongly) labeled gifted as a kid, I think this is because it comes with very high expectations and forces you to think about yourself and your actions all the time. Depression is basically self obsession. Life is only good when you forget about yourself. This is the same reason why social media drives depression as well.

I'm pretty sure you're unto something. When I think of the few really, really smart people that I happen to have encountered, they're all pretty laid back people. As in, it's like they've figured out the futility of it all long ago, settled on doing something they find interesting, and then sort of just flow through life.

So it seems more likely that pulling the short straw that makes you smart, but also having a personality type that compels you to do and fix things that would lead to people having issues with accepting that there is no inherent meaning to anything, it's all futile, and we're all gonna die sooner rather than later without having 'achieved' anything really.
Python Best Practices for a New Project in 2021
No, they are not. Do you know what "interface" is in Java, and what is "class"? And what is "method"?

Interface Func doesn't refer to FuncToFunc in its declaration, and interface FuncToFunc doesn't refer to Func. The method Y does refer to those two interfaces, but it's declared later than those are, and they don't (and can't, acvtually) refer to it.
> As a side note, "talented/gifted" is usually considered synonymous with high intelligence. Yet, I bet that it is as strongly correlated with dedication (going to the levels of passion or obsession) and sensitivity. It might happen that it is not IQ that matters in terms of gifted people being depressed.

I don't think this works. If you look at the strengths/weaknesses chart, there's no way that just passion or obsession matches the strengths or comes with the weaknesses.

Crash reporting is an obvious vector for leaking of private and personal information.
A single gamble in a liquid stock has an expected cost of 0.2%-1.0% of the notional value, due to crossing the bid-ask spread twice, which is smaller than casino margins.

So it is better in terms of expected costs if we're comparing 1 daytrade gamble with 1 casino gamble.
I think in most cases it is relatively easy to find the button in the new version, there are exceptions though. Hotkeys didn't change for ages I think.

As someone with little knowledge of this domain except a few articles and this link, it appears that hydrogen is better enviromentally, but the electric-car lobby disagree.

If there is a chicken and egg problem, as mentioned in the article, where mass adoption of a "better" technology is only held back due to the the number of hydrogen pumps - that seems like an appropriate point for government to step in to bridge the gap.

1) Is hydrogen the better solution?

2) Why wouldn't government recognise this and bridge the gap?

3) As the article is by BMW, what is their agenda? Why wouldn't they just accept and hop on board the prevailing EV trend?

>because of much lesser environmental footprint than required for producing batteries.

I'm very concerned about this, but have found basically zero impact for batteries, in that if one is concerned about batteries, then all that iron mining to build the rest of the car should probably be a bigger concern.

After doing research, I'm 99% sure that lithium battery environmental concerns are just concern trolling from fossil fuel interests. But I am very open to concrete new information.
