Just going through this with some hosted cloud software because some environments were "deprecated". The best possible result from finishing migration will be that it worked as well as before. This is so frustrating since I don't even know why Microsoft or Amazon deprecated these in the first place. It is work purely generated on their whims.

Apparently some AWS tools also got changes since some scripts seem to be failing.

It is so stupid to host anything in the cloud if you don't serve millions of users... Not really burnout, but I hate it so much right now...

> 2) basically outright outlaw training of interesting ML models.

Saying that it’s infringement doesn’t mean we’re outlawing interesting ML. These definitely aren’t the only two options. A few years ago, this kind of infringement wasn’t even possible, and now it’s just beginning. This stuff is in its infancy.

Reliability and controllability is an issue our field has to confront as applications move from research to application. This is just another instance of that. We’re all eager to deploy this stuff as soon as it can do something cool, but that’s not enough, as all the discussion around copilot demonstrates.

> I think we shouldn't forget why copyright exists in the first place… To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts

Right. It’s to encourage creators to create things. I wrote about this elsewhere [0] that the issue of generative ML models is that, as far as incentives go, you can pay a creator for use of their things, or you can throw money at AWS and get use of something like that creator’s things. The fair use equation is ‘$$$ + my stuff = your stuff,’ except that that money doesn’t go to the creators, it goes to nvidia and aws.

I think we’ll need new copyright laws for this, to make a middle ground. I personally want to be able to exclude my works from being training data unless I license then openly enough. Just like with open code licenses where you opt in. That option doesn’t seem to exist right now.

Wouldn’t it be great if a model benefiting from all this public data had to be public itself, or something along those lines? Wouldn’t that promote the arts and sciences even more?

I've long since lost track of it. It would be 5 or 6 years out of date at this point, anyway, so probably not very useful for informing decisions anymore.
I was 2nd employee at a unicorn startup and have been on a work-hiatus for almost a year. Now, I live amongst Amish people in the country.

My biggest insight has been a mindset change. Previously my underlying approach to life looked like: "I will do X which will enable me to do Y so that I can finally do Z." I now approach my days with "What will make me happy?" This is an experiment I'm performing. A structured life feels safe and orderly - but what if living life and letting things unfold more 'organically' is better?

It is a weird/uncomfortable shift because I can't predict what is coming. As an example, turns out I really enjoy building dams. A couple months ago I would not have been able to tell you that I'd be building a dam.

I have no idea what it is that drives my own interests or affinities, but now instead of attempting to manipulate them for whatever X, Y, or Z goal... I just roll with wherever they take me. And they always seem ready to take me somewhere.

My point is: In a life without work (in my experience) stuff will come up. Follow what arises, see where it goes. It certainly feels better.
I got the same opinion just from the article. So sure of himself, giving advice to everybody and blasting alarming attitude, while real epidemiologists and doctors that I know are much less sure about predictions and almost never beat the drum of alarm. He's probably a case of Dunning-Kruger effect.
> is it just that people don't know where to find the links?

Speaking for my wife, she mostly browse and share stuff on her phone. It's much quicker and consistent to take a screenshot and share it than trying to discover/remember in each app what is the best way to produce a link to paste somewhere else (how many clicks to get a share link in the amazon app? how about the YT app? FB app, can you even do it?)
I'm suprised that nobody has mentioned that the origins of the TdF involved a continuous ride (actually more continuous than Lachlan's - sleep was counted as part of your time).

It was changed after a few years. Some say it was because it was too hard on the riders, some because it was impossible to really monetize the race in this format (as RAAM knows all too well).
You made me curious. It's easy to see that the Maclaurin series converges quickly by the nature of the terms.

Since e ≈ 2.7 1828 1828 459, it is very close to the rational number 271,801/99,990 = 2.7(1828) . A continued fraction expansion should pick up on that approximation quite quickly, which will make the expansion look efficient. Will the continued fraction continue converging as quickly if you keep going after you reach that particular rational approximation?
I don't think your second link says what you claim it does. Aside from being explicit that using let is totally fine (good) and that types are allowed, but not required to be specified (just like everywhere else that bindings are established), it just says that implementations can optimize things (duh?) and that there is no standardized way to extend it.

The last point is probably everyone's biggest beef with LOOP since it's in stark contrast to most other things in the standard which often have very good ways to extend things.

I find loop to be a fairly nice DSL for iteration. It could be better, it could be worse, and I like it better than all the DO constructs.
Even still, a search for "jQuery" on a jobs board typically still returns plenty of results.
Thanks. My therapist has taught me a technique of collecting "past evidence" every time I start to spin-out, and it helps me control it, but I'm not sure I could apply it to such a big thing, yet. We're working on it. But I like his approach more than my friends who are like, "you are better off than 99% of the USA so STFU." Yes, I know that, but it doesn't address the core mental issue(s).
Finally. My weird neighbor won't be able to hack my doorbell
Interesting anecdote:

At Marine Corps boot camp, and subsequently combat training, not enough sleep and plenty of exercise is the norm. I averaged somewhere around 5 hours a night, but never more than 7, and many times somewhere between 3 and 0. There wasn't a lot of pure exercise, but constant activity based exercise, and a lot of stress based exercise. I was mid 20s when I went through it, and had a couple of guys with me who had to get age waivers (30+). We all agreed it was the most alert we'd ever felt, and that when we slept, we slept hard and felt extremely well rested, even when sleeping on hard ground.

Since exiting I spent many years feeling lethargic and burnt out from work, until I started training for a marathon. Now I have that same feeling, that it doesn't matter how much I sleep, and my body just feels more alive. Exercise, especially aerobic and cardio vascular, does wonders for your health, if you have time to do it right.
Having to request it is a terrible idea to begin with. If I want to use different templates for mobile vs desktop, I need to know, on the backend, whether the device is a mobile device, and I need it on the very first request. Having to request these headers explicitly is an unnecessary complication that would slow down the first load.

However it is nice that there's now a separate header that gives a yes or no answer on whether it's a mobile device.
As the other comment says, LLVM has a text based IR. But you may also want to look into QBE which is simpler and lighter weight than LLVM but has a similar text interface so you could start with that to get up and running, and then add support for llvm later.
The root difference between communism and capitalism comes down to their respective views of human nature. Communism views human as fundamentally decent but are made lower by the exploitation of those with capital and power. Capitalism, on the other hand, views human beings as lacking this decent base and presupposes that they will not produce things of mutual benefit without motivation.

The critique of communism that people will not work for a living isn't so much based on the ideas in communism itself (which devoted a lot of propaganda to the noble farmer and mechanic) but on what the net result of the policy of equal distribution would cause.

Someone who believes in capitalism necessarily believes that a communist system removes the incentive to work.

By "REST" I meant the way it's mostly used, so "REST API" to mean "HTTP API with maybe a notion of resources", since REST is the term people use to talk about these things.
There were a few comments here throwing shade at the findings and also people who said that software developers are burning out way more than other occupations. I can't speak for this study in question, but the WHO did classify burnout as an occupational phenomenon a couple of years ago [1] and our own research (I work for Asana and we yearly survey 10K+ knowledge workers) suggests that indeed between 70-80% of knowledge workers in general experience burnout two or more times a year! Sad really. I've experienced it quite severely a long time ago and it can truly rock your world and take a very long time to recover from.

It depends if the vaccine is sterilizing (destroys the virus) or leaky (symptoms are prevented but virus is not destroyed).

Leaky vaccines do change evolutionary pressure and increase the likelihood of escape variants.

For a case study in the worst case outcomes of leaky vaccines, see Marek's disease [1].

It seems like the mRNA vaccines are at least partially leaky, so there have been concerns raised and alarms sounded by researchers.

I agree. I previously worked in an XP shop that spent seven hours a day doing pair programming. It was exhausting, and challenging to do non-dev work in the hour a day left. Especially as a team lead, it took a lot of extra time or carving out time away from the pair to get enough done.

I also don’t know if full eight hour days are good, in general. I feel like 5x6 or 4x8 would be a better schedule, though, with a four day week, I’d be curious to try “weekend Wednesday” out instead of just having a three day weekend.

Content like this that fails to incorporate demographics as natural immunity goes in the “alarmist” bucket for me at this stage. We know the vaccines work against delta. If you are in a developed country and wanted a vaccine you have gotten one. The delta so far does not harm the young in any meaningful enough way to change our calculus around children.

The thing we ought to be worried about is what happens if a new variant pops up that hurts kids. I’d like to see analysis from a virologist on the odds of this happening given selective pressures.

I'll tell you the reason that sometimes stuff gets removed for "minor infractions" is because if you don't people keep doing it and referring to those things that are minor infractions.

I still use multi-reddits but the front page is a shit show of violence and outrage, things like /r/publicfreakout etc and other non-wholesome content, which are generally politically divisive.

I don't think burnout is well defined at all - at least not as used colloquially. As I understand it there's a specific medical/ mental health condition called burnout that is pretty horrendous. But in everyday usage it can mean everything from that medical definition to "I've had a rough week". I don't see any reason to assume which end of that scale a survey respondent might be thinking of when they answer.

What's interesting is the radical change over the past century, from a life of pure leisure being the mark of the aristocratic upper class to the lumpenproletariat. I love how Downton Abbey conveys this now alien concept to us early on by having the Dowager Countess ask "what is a 'weekend'?". The perfect modern counter-balance is the classic line from Office Space: "Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin. He's broke, don't do Shit!"

Dentistry. I know many Dentists and rarely if ever meet one that works more than 4 days a week. But I don't think that's a real retort to your point :p

> But SWE have one of the best jobs out there, it seems from somebody looking in on the outside. There is a huge lack of understanding what other people do for work.

Generally speaking anyone working in a situation where their efforts of improvement are frustrated will feel burnt out. Of course this is common in crappy jobs too and often manifests in highly managed employees who are driven with very strict metrics and work environments, because a constant threat of unemployement is the only method to sustain output. So its a real phenomenon and no amount of money or perks is the answer, in the same way that most people know that being rich isn't a silver bullet towards happiness. To over simplify, you can want both riches and fulfillment, and lament the lack of either independent of the other. More constructively as an employer, if you are paying and treating your employees well and they are still unhappy, it might be that they are spoiled brats and you should fire them and find others. OR it might be that there is an actual problem that needs fixed. IME its always been the latter, and failing to fix that problem has always been a missed opportunity for the places I've worked.

It's truly astonishing how many people apparently have a psychological need to be occupied with work in order to find meaning from their life. I can think of nothing better than to finally never have to worry about working just to cover my rent and food.

Being in tech, I've had the privilege to be able to quit my job every few years and take extended sabbaticals. Without fail those breaks have been the best times of my life. Even when I just spent the time "doing nothing" from the point of view of an outsider - not taking up a new hobby, not working on any personal projects, not operating a side-hustle, just sitting around watching the world go by... it was fine. It was better than fine - it was great. It seems bizarre to me that anyone would prefer structured labor to that kind of freedom, but it turns out some people do.

I just wish we had a society that would allow for both types of people to have the life they want.

I think you’re arguing against a far more extreme version of the comments than the ones I actually wrote, but I will address one point. The claim that whoever hired the person is solely responsible for their performance takes away the person’s agency to an unfair extent.
Wow, gotta love how this article just hand-waives away the completely legitimate concerns/criticisms that this is nothing more than a way to stroke billionaire's egos. Talking about moving mining to space/asteroids is supposed to be a noble goal? The tone deafness is astounding. A billionaire went into space (and the launchpad bill was footed by taxpayers who will probably never see space) and we are supposed to cheer this on? I think not.
This is also why vaccination is so critical and why "young healthy people" should not opt out: when you get the virus, even if it's a mild case, you are in effect donating processing power to what amounts to a global supercomputing project to evolve more virulent strains of COVID. That's how evolution works. The more chances the virus has to replicate, the more likely it is to become more virulent or even worse learn to evade the vaccine.

If the delta variant jumps the vaccine hurdle we are back to early 2020 but with something 2-4X as contagious.

Scientific literacy matters and know-nothing populist bullshit (regardless of whether it is "left" or "right" in flavor) is dangerous. There is no such thing as a "post-truth era."

Not even that, but there's a lower limit of how cheap those providers can be since, in the majority of cases, they're actually just using the Big Three's telecom infrastructure anyway. While I have no proof of this, I strongly suspect that the Big Three throttle connections over these too, given how unreliable the third-party vendor's connections are.

That's part of the solution.

Another part is to somehow change incentive and organizational structures.

MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and similar schools made their reputations decades if not over a century ago, and the current people and structures aren't the same as the people who built those institutions. These are big institutions, with big money and big egos. The people at the top are politician types good at climbing corporate structures.
