Imho, part of this is an industry failure to provide an interoperable way to share documents that meets the needs of the modern web - a way to copy documents by-value instead of by-reference that runs in the browser, and can be composed into an existing website.

We made sharing images dead simple. You can copy and paste them around. Download them and upload them. You can copy the hyperlink and the target site can either display it by ref or it can copy the content and display it inline. On the modern web the copy/paste works amazing for images.

Text is similar - I mean, you can't load a .txt file into most comment boxes, but you can trivially copy and paste text.

Rich documents with inline images? Nope. If you copy and paste rich text data or HTML, the images are probably going to go away - Reddit's rich text editor fails on this. Raw markdown or HTML? Getting the images in is tricky, you generally need a parallel way to upload them and need to update all their paths separately. Copying and pasting rich text is always a roll of the dice about what's going to get mangled... for Reddit? It's images that get mangled.

That's why dumb screenshots have won. Because documents don't support dumb copy/paste usefully. I can't copy/paste a Tweet but I can screenshot it.

edit: This is also why gifs beat video.
Exactly... and software today, more than ever, is built upon products from a gazillion different vendors.

I really wonder what people actually use stream processing for, like very concrete examples. My best examples would only go far filtering a stream over a time window to compute an aggregate. My job does not require anything more, it's always basic ETL, but I really need to hear specific examples where it's useful for others. Been a long time fan of Apache Flink.
I’m not sure for all branches, but I’ve read/heard it’s part of the Navy seals training and exam.

Although I’ve never come close to trying, I’m sure it would be one of the hardest parts for me.
This is a shame, because if done correctly, “share memory by communicating” eliminates a whole class of bugs.

I agree that the ergonomics of Go channels leave a lot to be desired. Also, channels are still a primitive: you still need to build abstractions to do anything nontrivially useful with them. I think something like a good coroutine abstraction, or thread nursery abstraction would be ideal.
The question I have is that if Microsoft really thinks #1 is true and the way, why didn't they train Copilot on Microsoft's code (in addition to other people's code on GitHub.com) ?
Seems the CPU from a Dreamcast is a little overkill for a greyscale graphing calculator isn't it?
Just in case anyone is interested: I have a Withings/Nokia scale that syncs to my phone, and then used the Android App Libra to plot a trendline for my intended weight loss and compared that in the app against the trendline it drew through my actual weight loss. I also used the free Samsung Health App to get the calorie values for what I ate, or used the ones on the packet.
Well the answer to your original question is "most people sleep worse, live worse lives, and die earlier if they frequently get drunk." Even if you're somehow different, you're an edge case. Either way, your comment reads like that of a teenager trying to be edgy and not that of a mature adult.
I think the idea is that there are some legitimate uses for UA information that they don't want to eliminate entirely, otherwise yeah they could just deprecate the User-Agent header and be done with it.
In the UK you have to give up any passwords or you get 5 years or something for failing that.
and we are past the potential 2-week delay from cases to deaths

Not everywhere. See here, for example: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/netherland...

The Netherlands went from 550 cases/day at the end of June to 10,000 cases/day now. The Delta variant took less than two weeks to spread as much as the EU variant did in two months (Sep 1st - Nov 1st). Of course, it was helped a lot by the government deciding to open up bars, dancings and nights clubs on June 26th so it's not a fair comparison :/

Point is, we'll have to wait two weeks to see what effect this will have on the death rate. I expect the death rate to be a lot lower than in November, partly because of vaccinations but also because the age group that flocked to the bars and night clubs is a lot younger than the earlier wave victims.

Still, I don't expect our death rate to remain in the single digits as it has been since the beginning of June.
It boils down to practising meditation/mindfulness.
I have stopped using Reddit for this reason. I can’t prove it, but I’m sure the communities forcing Reddit video/images are mods paid by Reddit. I used to get traffic to some of my old sites from Reddit, but then I kept finding my vids & content uploaded to Reddit and I wasn’t getting credit and lost almost all the traffic to my sites. Those sites were run exclusively from ad revenue from people visiting my content. Reddit stole my content and I had to shut down my sites because they no longer made enough money to pay for domain and hosting.

I’ll point out, I wasn’t making much from my sites. $50 was a good month.

The fact that the program runs is no more meaningful than the fact that the ink forms distinct lines and figures on the page.

In both cases it just means the author started out knowing how to use some tool contemporary to them. It doesn't prove or disprove either meaningfulness or nonsense.

And the TempleOS example specifically illustrates that we're not talking a out a binary state.
This speaks to a fundamental truth about cryptocurrency. In order to make it easier to use, these currencies adopt the trappings of fiat currency. When I had Bitcoin a while back, I always used an exchange. Most new users will do the same. And any financial transaction you're able to perform will likely go through intermediaries. Not because they're necessary but because they make things easier. If cryptocurrency is going to become mainstream, it will have to be indistinguishable from fiat for end users.
The compilers are separate, just like in most C and C++ compilers out there.

There is hardly any reason to keep writing new C code in 2021 other than UNIX like codebases or embedded development that keeps resisting C++ adoption.

I was actually disappointed with Microsoft's decision to backtrack on their decision.
Is maintenance the cause of burnout then?
Correct. As noted elsewhere, Lachlan didn't race a formal event. He did the ride for charity. The goal was to cover the entire Tour distance (transfers included) in less time than the actual race. And he met that goal.

Drafting (riding behind another cyclist) can cut the effort by about 30%. So, the rider at the front of the peloton might be doing ~400 watts (and likely more, especially in the last hour of a ~5 hour stage), while cyclists in the back are only doing ~280 watts.

To put that in context, as an average masters cyclist, 400 watts is an output I can do for a couple of minutes at most. And 280 watts is an output I can maintain for about an hour.

A top Tour overall contender will average >200 watts over the stage, and on a critical climb, might average 350-400 watts mostly solo (or in small groups) for 10-30 minutes.

Why discuss anything outside of one's domain at all then? There are many examples of intelligent cross-disciplinary contributors throughout history and you've probably met some in your life (especially if you're in software engineering, where many enter the field without relevant degrees). How many people spend 5-10 years in a career and then switch? It's more common than you think. And I'd consider 5-10 years of experience enough to make someone an expert (that's 1-2 PhDs worth of experience!).

Many HNers have lots of experience with finance, both as professionals and as affluent people who have received excellent advice from finance professionals, good educations, and private study.

Obviously you shouldn't ONLY listen to uncredentialed randos on the internet when making important life decisions, but randos on the internet can certainly contribute positively to discussion and spark thought.
This is a relatively common trick in ML - mapping temporal data to image form so one can use the relatively efficient convolutional operations on it. An example would be mapping audio data via a short-time fast fourier transform (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-time_Fourier_transform) and using 2d convolutions on that for processing.

Architectural improvements in 1D convolutions (atrous convolutions) have possibly surpassed these techniques in some areas though, I'm not sure.
Some of the constructs in this paper are pretty tendentious, without much self-awareness about it. For example, one of the six measures they use for alignment with scientific consensus is: "should the government fund stem cell research?", which is a moral and political question rather than a scientific one. Two parties could agree on all of the positive facts about stem cell research while differing over whether the government ought to fund it.
Nontrivial renderers always make use of acceleration structures, and that’s actually much harder to implement with SDFs. At least with polygons, you can very precisely divide up your space or your objects and know exactly in which region what it is you’re hitting. You don’t get that benefit so easily with complex SDFs and thus many optimizations are not available.
This is why I have a tough time putting much weight into the soft-sciences. I don't see any operational definition of "Burnout" so this is like asking people if they feel "fast".

How about something like "How many times a week do you feel like not coming into work?"

But these subjective terms are useless.
I keep seeing this discussed, but I have honestly had difficulty getting relatively large loans against assets. All they seemed to care about was income. Yes, Buffet definitely has a better relationship with the bank than I, but I wonder if this is really possible to copy by the average person.

Because you're displacing the existing gradient. The existing SDF is by definition valid but now being transformed. It's been a while since I dabbled in this but I'm not sure how you'd normalize and maintain the transform. If you naively normalize then you lose all the smooth continuity of the function, which is no bueno.
A purely emotional justification is not correct without looking at the data, economics, and financial health. You are the exact type of person it was intended to appease.
> The math equations made by Word have a distinctive appearance.

Try and use the GUST fonts (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry), Microsoft Word equations will look then excellently made.
The last time I used the GUST fonts, by the way, I was able to export Word documents to pdf only be printing, as using the pdf converter some glyphs would "lose pieces"; and exporting via printing I would lose the clickable links. But I did not try with the Word plugin for the latest versions of Acrobat.
Being even slightly burnt out should be alarming. Some people don't even acknowledge their burning out before they become unable to work and fall into depression. It's not normal to feel this way. Being burnt out is not just regular tiredness, it's a mental health issue.
what he means with partly is that a part of the right to repair movement is about restoring a right that was already define in law, namely that when you buy something, you own it, and you can do whatever you want with it (including repairing or modifying it)

the Free Software movement is about the same, but a right to repair and modify software was never defined as a law.

so the difference is that the Free Software movement is about gaining new rights, that we didn't have, while right to repair is about restoring rights that we already had, and that have been taken away.
Personally I don't have the useful military pre-requisite of physical exhaustion so I just use sleep-phones and Audible with a 30 minute sleep timer and something engaging but not too exciting to listen to; eg. a good history of something undramatic.

Slow the reading pace down to match your breathing cycle, and its really effective.

Google also has an interest in preventing fraudulent ads. While the Internet is never going to be "safe", Google does want to avoid having customers actively avoid clicking on ads out of fear.

So they've got a (haphazard, ham-fisted, obscure) mechanism for removing stuff they consider undesirable. It costs them money, but they hope the balance is positive by keeping their reputation up.

That mechanism has both false positives and false negatives (as well as being flagrantly subjective), because it's far, far, far too much for them to examine each case closely. It may be your lifeline, but to them it's just another $10e2 in a $10e11 revenue stream.
This is worth emphasizing. There's a reverse survivor bias at play. No matter what people do, some fraction will be really bad at it. Think about any workplace. In the criminal world, these are the people who get caught the fastest and result in the flashiest press releases.

Somehow all of what we got just magically creates itself if the government is paying people?

Can we get over the old wives tales?

Scientifically people will work to support biological survival.

What they don’t want is a job for another human who has nothing more than artificial political advantage keeping them from real work.

They don’t want a job that elevates Bezos and Gates to ungodly levels of wealth, while their friends and family struggle to pay rent and buy insulin.

Our current economic reality has nothing to do with willingness to work.

It’s an emotional Ponzi scheme, properly groomed for TV and emotional manipulation: “Chase the dream.”

People will work to survive. They won’t work to help aristocrats who don’t work thrive.

Stop coddling the minority and the majority will snap to.

The complexity of setting up forwarding with AWS Simple Email Service/handling incoming messages without using their WorkMail is why I moved off it for my next project. There is no real option for this, although Amazon does provide a tutorial for rolling your own using a combination of S3 and a Lambda Function. [0] You'd think instead of creating a tutorial basically asking users to copy and paste their code, they may just want to add it as a feature.

In fact, I find almost everything on AWS overcomplicated. I ended up moving to a combination of MailJet for outgoing transactional mails and Zoho for incoming emails. This combination also happens to be free while in development.

I don't believe the Leninist notion of communism incorporated the idea of "not working for a living" either, but I could be wrong.
> This is one of the biggest missing pieces in internet FIRE discussions. So much of the FIRE discourse is about not working that many don’t realize that they’re going to be extremely bored with 16 hours to fill every day. Worse, their friends are all busy with their lives.

This is a frequent misunderstanding about early 'retirement'. It's not about not working at all. It's about not working for a living. Very important distinction. If tomorrow I'd acquire 'fuck you' money and not have to work, I will quit my job and finally start the book I've been planning for a while now, travel to my home country and build my genealogical tree, volunteer some of my time to the OCCRP or ACLU, etc.. It's not about not working. It's about working on the stuff I really do want to work on, without the threat of scarcity if I don't 'increase shareholder value'.
I took 3 weeks with my first, 2 weeks with my second. All PTO. Took me a while to dig out of those holes.
Right-click being disabled in apps is one reason. Right-clicking being kinda hard to do on mobile is another. Also, oftentimes now a link directly copied from Google links to an Amp page on Google dotcom. And even web pages try to disable right clicking.

I hate it. Most apps don’t need to be apps. An actual regular website is so great. And if you can, just a static page is the best as far as accessibility and usability and linkability…
Are software developers any different from other professions with regards to burnout?
Yes, that young, entrepreneurial programmer can be found, but won’t have the domain knowledge. Look at the examples above. You can’t sell Marine mapping software without knowing something about marine navigation. You can’t sell beekeeping software without understanding beekeeping. Plus you need the general business operation skills. Finding a programmer who knows beekeeping and wants to take on a low growth business is not as easy as finding a programmer on Upwork.
It is highly contagious. But not as much as say, the measles.
Have you recently tried to share a link with someone?

There's so much tracking shit appended onto the end of the link that by the time they get it and whatever url parsing algorithm their device uses maims it, the url is no longer in tact and trying to click it brings you to a broken page.

I make a concerted effort to remove all of that before sending, but Google et. al. are working very hard to make that harder and harder by continuing to make changes to obscure the link. I already have to copy it, and re-paste it into the mobile address bar just to see what the entire link looks like. The vast majority of users won't even know what parts of the url to trim, nor will they care enough to do it.

So they just send a screenshot.

I'm curious, what did you investment portfolio do this past year? I bet it did better than 5.4%.
As far as I can tell, neither the article nor the linked report actually defines the term “burnout”. Additionally, it is possible that the (258, U.K.-based) developers who bothered to fill the questionnaire online were more likely to answer in the affirmative.
"Wouldn't have a house without the banker". In some societies this is/was called usury - the opposite of intrinsic value. Banks leech value instead of creating any.
How old are you? Curious, because in my twenties, a few beers used to put me to sleep. Now that I'm in my 40s, any alcohol within ~2 hours of bed is guaranteed to result in a terrible restless night.

EDIT - never mind, I see you're in your 50s or 60s (based on another comment).
I'm a 67 year-old adult. And I don't think I'm an edge case. Most of the adults I know in the UK drink a lot.

How old are you, may I ask?

I came to the comments to state exactly your first line. When I served in the German army, no combat involved, the amount of physical activity was at a very high level, so I was basically constantly tired and was able to fall asleep in under 30 seconds, even when sitting in the classroom.
Can you name another profession that throws out its tools so often?
Yeah was about to say the same. In my life the only occasions that I got good sleep were due to exhaustion. But in today's world it's kind of difficult to reach that point physically. I got knee and ankle issues from overweight so the only feasible solution to reach exhaustion is swimming.
I think this is very cool, but also pretty scary. My attempt at giving one woman bangs just left her with a mat of hair on her forehead.
> The sociology of this is fascinating.

It really is.

It's not like these are entirely new questions, but they used to be relegated to much smaller circles.

Hell, even recall any theoretical physics notions in other threads on HN and watch it burn.

It definitely seems like a bit of a philosophical change is sweeping throughout society, and it's probably mainly do to the increased speed and spread of information. It's easy to ignore, but those who don't are sort of forced to revaluate their world view and even their understanding of reality.

We have mainstream philosophers and neuroscientists giving talks on the limits of our perceptions in language "lay" people can understand. It's an interesting time to follow these developments.

It's almost like a new-age open-mindedness without the woo-woo. It was probably never really true, but growing up it felt like the answers were all written, and the universe was sticks and stones and the suggestion of anything else was nonsense. It seems more open now, and more intellectually encouraging, isn't it?
It's a scary top-line number, but it should be kept in mind that inflation last June was 0.6% [0], exceptionally low, as a side effect of the pandemic and quarantine.

So I think a lot of this supposed inflation is a transient effect of the statistics re-equilibrating after an extraordinary and unprecedented year of economic numbers in 2020.
