I had the same realization as you about a year ago. I didn't feel like I was a strong "lead" on the team, people around me could always seem to come up with a more original idea than my inside the box ideas. I decided to take some time away from coding and embrace interests outside of work.

Right before I quit, I was taking PTOs regularly to spend time at Wheaton Labs (the founder himself retired from tech) and really learned alot from there about gardening and being energy efficient with utilities around me.

I then quit my job three months ago and started doing everything I've always wanted to do / learn! Here are some of them:

1. I had no idea how food is grown. I started maintaining my own backyard to learn about how to grow different foods. Most of them are still growing, waiting patiently for harvest.

2. I had no idea why people eat gluten free foods and what types of food allergens there out there and did some digging (Wow really learned alot there)

3. I've always ate out and my cooking skills sucks. I started cooking my favorite foods and trying to get good at it (PIZZA!)

4. Music! I always felt left out when my coworkers were having music jam sessions. I've been practicing the 3 main cords every day in the past 3 months and I can sometimes improvise and sing to my wife throughout the day.

And the most important is time! I finally have the time to dive deeper and deeper into whatever topics I find interesting.
i'm skeptical of agreeing with any sentiment even remotely approaching this, but i'd have to say - i agree!

in general.

a few days is....c'mon man.

then again, i almost quit a job after a few days - i was _so_ close.

and then it quickly turned into the best job i ever had.

a few days? you need more time than that.

i agree, talk to the boss, as excrutiating as it will be. :)

There is no worker deficit.

The demand-side of the labor market simply isn't willing to pay what the supply-side expects, and is childishly throwing a tantrum that for once they have to compromise to market forces.

The so called "worker deficit" only exists below ~15-20/h. Above that there's no issue whatsoever.

It's a seller's market. Suck it up.
Prices may possibly rise, very true. We as a society/economy have gotten hooked on cheap goods. Perhaps too cheap in some cases.

It's also possible that certain businesses and products we've grown accustomed to, at the prices we are used to, are simply not viable anymore as the market changes.

The market giveth and the market taketh away. A lot of business owners complaining about a "labor shortage" love being pro free market when it works in their favor, but whine when it turns around on them.
Well, certainly there can be structural shortages. Imagine all people under 60 disappeared/died (for whatever reason).

You'd still have many elderly consumers, but nobody to serve them.

Of course we can get into immigration and a long tangential discussion. My only point being, there can be structural shortages that wages aren't able to fix.

Another more realistic example would be a shortage of labor with a specific skillset. Wages can potentially fix this in the longer run by enticing people to pick up these skills (we see this in tech).
>> With DC, nothing is really at the same voltage, so you need DC-DC converters all over anyway,

This may be the case now, but it's just through historical lack of standardisation, resulting from AC having been the one true standard. It's not inherent to DC.

USB PD is attempting to address this issue. It is standardising voltages for DC-powered devices.

If "security theatre" is a term so should "environmental impact theatre" or something like that.

When Apple did this I was amused. Having worked in a warehouse processing Apple products. The amount of unnecessary plastic, and the stupid ridiculous way they glue their boxes together (making them impossible to make flat so they can be recycled easily) is nuts.
Each individual small cable, adapter box is wrapped in plastic. Which is then put into a box, within another box (not a joke), all glued in a strange and unnecessary fashion.

I haven't processed google products for work, though I do own a Pixel. Their use of plastic is much less than Apple, though again I haven't dealt with importing multiple Google products.

> I know of at least one job interview where they claimed they couldn't get zoom to run / couldn't connect - and that was basically decisive.

I used to interview candidates via Zoom. There were quite a few who couldn't figure it out. I gave 2nd chances interviews, mostly for optics for upper management. (And because sometimes hardware breaks at the last minute.) The candidates always failed the retry interview.

At least for software development, troubleshooting a camera and mic is a pretty similar skill to what our job is on a day-to-day basis. It's also very disrespectful to make someone wait at the beginning of a meeting while you troubleshoot, especially when I'm waving my phone and sending IMs that ask the candidate to just use their phone.

But, if a candidate fell back to their phone, I appreciated that they respected my time.
> Interdependance on a whole societal level is an illusion.

Where do you get your food from?
Who maintains the water pipes?
Who the electricity powerlines? Who the internet infrastructure you are currently using? Who made the computer you are typing this on? Who the house/car you are sitting in? Who the tools with which all those things where created? Who the food/water/cars/houses for them?

Not being dependent on others is what neoliberal rich kids trick themselves into believing in their wet dreams. Even if you build, maintain and everything that you use yourself, unless you have been abandoned in a jungle at birth you will always build on what is there: knowledge, tools, other people, infrastructure, etc.

What is this if not interdependence? What is this if not vulnerability?

Of course we are vulnerable because of that dependence on others. There are people who realize this and become preppers in an (usually futile) attempt to become truly independent, and there are people who realize that we are society and try to give back to their surroundings, and improve said society.

Because you don't live in isolation. Like not at all. The fact that you even considered this to be true should make you pause and reflect.
Make it a coupon for any accessory (case, charger, headphones etc) or play store credit and most people will probably get something they would have gotten anyway.

There are 'random' execution times in the critical paths of essentially everything on a modern general purpose computer, unfortunately.

What matters for realtime operation is that the worst case is bounded and that the bound is acceptable.
I `Promise` you won't have to `await` long to understand `async` in JavaScript
await won't block Node from handling other requests but it will block the thread that is awaiting. For example, these will execute one after the other (the "bad way"):

await slowThingOne();
await slowThingTwo();

but these execute in parallel, awaiting until both are finished (the "good way"):

await Promise.all([slowThingOne(), slowThingTwo()]);
i saw this and truly thought it was some kind of onion piece that accidentally slipped into a different pub.

i actually didn't even notice the jet until my buddy pointed it out to me -- i noticed the suit and the hair and the smile -- most/almost all pics of actually-miserable people in whatever publication have the requisite 'sad face'.

but this dude smiling.

and then you read the article and he's talking about everyone going thru death and destruction and eviction and whatnot -- and he's like, 'But my _profits_ are suffering!'

Depending on independent actors in a free market system to act on specific moral principles rather than in their own best interest is not going to work in practice.

You'll get some that adhere to those principles, and others that don't.

If society deems minimum wage too low, government is the one responsible for regulating it to reflect those morals.

Rather than see the employers as greedy, just accept that they'll most likely do whatever they can within the confines of the law to help themselves, and then change the law to shape the incentive.

Anything else is just wishful thinking. Well intentioned, but not realistic to achieve the purported goal.
Wouldn’t this incentivize automation?

As another Croatian, I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I'd like other people to experience the breathtaking beauty of my country. On the other hand, considering all the negative externalities and the rampant devastation that comes with our brand of tourism I'm not sure I want any more tourists coming. I especially don't want tourists buying holiday homes here.
So why is it a seller's market?

You can tell your staff that you're trying to hire more people but it's hard, and if they can just put in the extra effort now it'll be easier in the future. Meanwhile, you get to save paying for an extra person and get more from your staff, so profits go up.

I am all for competition in the space industry to ensure access to space even if a fault occurs with one vehicle by having alternatives, but....

This is another "Elon sulking about the minisub" incident, but with a different billionaire.
Isn't that exactly the point, and why it's so great? It's a single algorithm that's tune-able across that wide range of speed/ratio trade-offs using a single parameter. So you can just use one thing for almost every application instead of picking between three different things.

(Yes, I know that one parameter controls multiple different settings internally, so there are multiple dimensions if you're willing to dig that deep.)

Anyway, my recollection from looking at benchmarks a while ago: zstd used at similar ratios to lzma compresses in similar time but decompresses much faster, and it's also faster than gzip when set to comparable ratios to that. lz4 is still faster than the fastest zstd modes, and lzma at the most extreme settings still gets better ratios that the best zstd can do. But there's a huge wide swath in the middle where zstd beats them all, and that's quite valuable.

I don’t see how this solution is in a red ocean? Mature offerings where? The only non-Latam alternative that comes to my mind in this space is Checkout.com and that is just partially similar.

A provider routing middleware with the goal of increasing authorization rates is likely not even an attractive business in markets like the US and Europe where you probably can defer to a single payment provider like Stripe for maximum checkout reliability.

This is not the case in Latam. Authorization rates are way lower and anti-fraud heuristics and models by local payment providers are less sophisticated. Most growing business in Latam end up in a situation where they neeed to re-route payments to increase their authorization rates and sometimes in the need to build very strict checkouts that harm conversions but that are needed to avoid a high volume of rejected transactions.
The Life-Changing Practice of Death Awareness
(2014) and an evergreen HN topic - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... .
I used Zoom yesterday after months and I had to download the client. I was in hurry because a customer sent me a link so I didn't investigate much. They usually make calls on Slack which works well and already has all of their conversations.

WebEx used to be a nightmare with a Java client. Maybe it's better now but I didn't use it for years on a computer. I had an Android tablet with the WebEx app and I used that. Luckily no customer of mine is using WebEx anymore.

I never used Chime and never heard about it until now.

Skype doesn't have URLs AFAIK. I used it with a small group of friends during lockdowns because it was the intersection of what all of them had. We rejoined the same call every time. It works well once started. Cumbersome to start.

Meet has the least friction: create a call, send a URL, click/tap to join. I don't remember if a Google account is required but everybody has one in this part of the world because of Android. It works well.

Teams has a mandatory download AFAIK, I got a customer that uses it. It works well once started. I have no idea if I can start a call without an Office 365 account. I remember that it asks me to login to that customer's Office.

FaceTime, never used because it's an Apple only thing. I don't have the hardware.

Duo, I think it improved since its launch but despite being in the phones everybody uses here, everybody makes call with WhatsApp. I think Google lost the network effect battle.

WhatsApp is the easiest to start a call with but no URLs, no calls on the desktop. The quality is not very good, maybe because people can have poor connections on their phones (mobile data or crowded WiFi channels.)

Telegram added group calls recently but I never used them. Network effects again and at least 10 times less market penetration. One to one calls where on par with WhatsApp.
Because their solution was an absolute joke by looking at the GAO review..
Dropping links with 0 analysis or critical thought coming from you.

Very compelling!

I'm sorry, but no point engaging with you. You use 0 logic or quantifiable statements to support your view. Just hand-wavey and vague statements, exemplifying exactly what I stated.

Dropping links with no supporting analysis is not a discussion at all.
To all the detractors here. I lived on a boat for many years which was 12v only and didn't have the mod cons. You adapt pretty quick then hardly think about it.

So everyone saying how it's fantasy to expect peoples behaviour to change, just remember if you haven't tried it you are likely highly over estimating how much effort it is, and not aware of many of the unexpected advantages.
Elon sulking about the minisub seemed like… a mildly unstable burned out billionaire.

This seems like competition via lawyers instead of results, and nothing but a waste of everyone’s time.
Are they really rivals? In my mind Blue Origin and SpaceX are in entirely different leagues. Blue Origin is in the kiddy league while SpaceX is in the professional league. Maybe once Blue Origin gets into the adult league they can complain about not being selected.

I imagine this refers to the low cost of the energy required to operate the laser. It may seem a stupid question, but it had me going like "huh? a round of what?" for a few seconds.

On a more serious note, I hope they employ the technology necessary to use it with extreme care even in case of real war scenarios: if it aims at something, and misses, it's not a missile whose safety can neutralize it before hitting say a civilian aircraft flying kilometers from there in the same line of sight.

Not always using a clothes dryer is fine and good advice. But not using an electric kettle and replacing it with heating water on a gas stove is so beyond absurd I'm shocked how they even came to this conclusion since gas stoves are less efficient and much worse for the environment than a kettle.

And a kettle is so low impact anyway. It uses a high amount of power for a very short time and spends almost all of its life turned off. The faster you heat the water the less waste there is as it cools during the heat process.

> work is asking much more, not physically but in terms of behaviors and beliefs

> Our main way of relating ourselves to others is like things relate themselves to things on the market. We want to exchange our own personality, or as one says sometimes, our "personality package", for something. Now, this is not so true for the manual workers. The manual worker does not have to sell his personality. He doesn't have to sell his smile. But what you might call the "symbolpushers" , that is to say, all the people who deal with figures, with paper, with men, who manipulate - to use a better, or nicer, word - manipulate men and signs and words, all those today have not only to sell their service but in the bargain they're to sell their personality, more or less. There are exceptions.

I wonder if there is some idealized definition of "stirring" being used here. It seems that actual stirring could conceivably result in any possible rearrangement of particles. As a simple example, which is illustrative even though it seems unlikely as a result of stirring: leave the (x, y) coordinates of each particle the same, while changing the z coordinate as z -> z+k mod h. The result is effectively a discontinuous map (violating the theorem), even though the path of each individual particle must be continuous for physical reasons. Two different notions of continuity here.
This gets complicated and depending on your local regulations, may involve an electrician to certify the work. It's similar to the wiring that goes into adding a generator to your home. If you want something a bit less sophisticated but works nonetheless, you can try to wire solar cells, charge controller, and other stuff to a battery, and then just use the battery directly to power devices. Maybe even have two batteries, one being charged, and one being used. I've had friends do this setup in places where they've been renting.
A community about working 2 full-time jobs has exploded
Even internally there is no standard. You may put 12V in your user facing input and the device then splits that in to 12v, 5v, 3.5v for all the different components which run at different voltages.
But internally, devices operate at different voltages due to fundamental differences in required voltages for their transistors, LEDs, battery cells of different chemistry and charge state, etc. There’s not much getting around it in a strict sense, although standardization can help.
A long time ago in a galaxy far away I tried and failed to make a similar argument as an intern working in defense on a soldier operated device. A d pad and A and B buttons for navigating menus.
