I completely disagree.

Consulting is not for everyone and like everything you get out what you put in.

Why I went into consulting
- I was working hard as ever, it’s my nature and I love what I do.
- My pay was average
- My projects looked amazing but in reality sucked and were driven by people in ivory towers

My concerns with consulting
- we had a newborn and worried about health insurance. In the US this is highly coupled with your job

The outcome
- I am still busy as ever and love it.
- I am a seasoned 14 year dev with a lot to offer.
- health insurance because of Obama care is amazing. We pay about $150 more per month but it’s actually better health insurance.
- here is the kicker, last month I made 50k profit. Consulting is extremely lucrative and makes me feel like I was wasting my time as an employee before.

Will I go back to working for someone? Oh yeah in a heartbeat. But I must be valued according and can enrich the company as I do now with consulting for my clients.

What’s sucks about consulting
- billing / payroll for other devs that help me as 1099 when needed.

Take away - consult for the right reasons. You will learn a lot but you can learn a lot as an employee as well. Let it happen naturally. Don’t force yourself to consult. You may be a completely happy employee and don’t let anyone tell you different and anyone worth being a human won’t discriminate against you for it.
Important thing to remember is that blank spots only last as long as you want them to!
I’ve been vaccinated.

I’ve had Covid.

I’m done, thank you.

I’m not subscribing to a lifetime of shots. If anyone else wants to do so please go ahead, but Im good.

And I expect this create even more pushback to the vaccine. The anti-vax crowd will say this is what the pharma gods want, to be paid subscription revenue in perpetuity by entire populations.
I’d say open source software and business models around it. Being a developer today and starting a company is so much more dynamic and accessible today than 20 years ago.

I’d also say the creative works has seen a massive revolution from technology. Anyone can make professional video/audio/graphics today and distribute it.

> From a raw cultural perspective, it strikes me how commercially uniform the country became: outside of enjoying differences topography and pre-homogenization (what remains of walkable old towns), I deeply don’t find much of a compelling reason to travel within the country due to how damned cookie cutter it feels.

If you love nature, America is still one of the best countries to travel in. It has some of the most magnificent natural places and is massive, so even if you're driven away from popular parks because of overtourism, there are many less popular places that are amazing.

Unfortunately, the camping plans for my visit were severely hampered by wildfires, which looks to be a permanent fixture of the American west going forward.
I've focussed on making reading experience better, try it out :)

Your suggestion on tweets from insightful people is interesting, I can see Twitter lists can do that too, I'll think about it, thanks.

> He suggested the company could expand to “annotate the world,” including “poetry, literature, the Bible, political speeches, legal texts, science papers.” In fact, it had trouble expanding beyond its core group of music fans.

That sounds great to me, anybody know what caused so much trouble? Looking at genius.com now it's not even trying, homepage is all about music.
FWIW, I am in the same camp as you. They seem oddly hostile to FOSS development (as shown in your comment and the top comment you replied to), and as such, I hesitate to use it for that reason.
Because the only way to find info on a Discord server is to join the Discord server. That means the info is hidden from standard search engines and that even just to see the info I need to reveal myself to the Discord server.
I am not sure what type of companies you have worked with. But I have never seen this happening.

There are times when a client selected person is not taken in but the reason has never been what you have described.

Please do not generalise.
well, the gaming forums of RockPaperShotguns (video game news website), built on Discourse, are set to close next month, so it's less a technological choice and more how much the maintainer/owner of the forum wants to keep it online
Interesting post. Seems similar to the approach of HPHPC for PHP, where the code is first run offline in a simulated environment to collect type information, and then use these speculations to generate static-typed code ahead-of-time.

Would be interested to see a performance comparison with V8 JIT (instead of V8 interpreter).

Legally there is a difference between exploiting loop holes, e.g. temperature windows, and putting these loop holes in to an extent through lobbying and actively ignoring even these loop holed regulations. Everybody did the former, with some over stepping. VW did the latter. and that is the reason only VW managers are on trial at the moment.

Personally, both approaches suck, but only is most likely illegal. What pisses me of even more is the fact that VW waited, and German authorities with them, until VWs gray eminence Ferdinand Piech died. only to avoid asking how much he knew...
Drew DeVault managed to make a mailing list renaissance of sorts. https://lists.sr.ht/

I guess that's something. I've made "the leet list" of my own and encouraged friends to join (my friends are in their early 20s, so they are not quite acquainted with email, lol) and this worked out. The slow pace is a feature and people seem to be loving it. https://lists.sr.ht/~badt/leet
that is what always happens to unions and why I oppose them. They eventually corrupt because they are a political process, especially whrn in bed with regulators (look at Biden subcidies for tech only if unionized vs Tesla).

The same logic applies for business lobbying regulators, they corrupt and capture.

We need free markets, devoid of any political intervention. Individuals voluntarily coming to emergent consensus is the way towards fair and uncorruptable futures.
Here's an interesting account by the originator meeting Nehru: https://www.news18.com/blogs/india/manu-bhagavan/an-intervie...
While the OP's case is somewhat Instagram-specific, people also just get burned out of hobbies. I was very seriously into photography in school, editor of various school pubs, etc. After I graduated I really just shifted to taking slides on vacation for quite a few years. It was really only after digital came in that I did photography more seriously again--and, even then, still mostly when traveling (which is normally a lot of the time).
Apple refutes FlickType developer's account of App Store issues
The disquieting factor is that the network is identifying race of patients using signal that humans can't see. It's one thing if there are actual biological differences that should be factored into treatment... It's another if the AI is observing race differences that a human can't explain but as a result the AI might give different answers to other questions because it's factoring in a race signal that we can't see. We wouldn't trust "If this patient were white, I'd give this answer, but since this patient is black I'm going to give that answer... Can't tell you why, my experience just indicates to me that's correct" coming from a human doctor, so we definitely won't accept it coming from a machine. Not without a concrete reason the answer should be different if the patient is black.

If I understand correctly, the paper's recommendation is for follow-up research to understand what signal the network is actually keying in to. There might be an actual biological difference. This paper wasn't able to identify it.
And most expect it to be solved perfectly on the first try. I was rejected by Google when I solved a LC hard problem (in Google Docs), and when asked the time complexity I said something like, "It's O(nlogn). Wait, it's O(logn), [explanation why that's the case, which was correct]." Feedback: "struggled with figuring out the time complexity." *eye_roll*
It should be worth noting that this is from 2014. This is not new information, overall.
I don't understand this at all. Right now I'm in the second recall with my Hyundai Kona EV. They have found that there might be a problem with the battery packs, so ALL Kona get a new one where the bug is fixed.

Might take its time till they are done, but they did not tell me to park near a river or something, in case the car catches fire. So either GM is even more cautious or just stupid.
Unsure about network (if it's true that it's on a separate thread, perhaps it's because network operations take cpu time even when readied asynchronously--e.g. even after you select/[e]poll to determine what events to trigger next, the actual read/write/sendfile/whatever ops do take a little time). However, filesystem IO is performed in threads in libuv on many platforms, due to the unavailability of stable async IO capabilities.
Maybe not simultaneously, but I grew up in an immigrant family where everyone’s parents had farmland and houses in the original country. Almost all the families and cousins are pretty successful business/real estate owners/operators, who champion themselves, while ignoring the fact that they all had houses and farmland to go back to in their original country in case they failed.

But many, especially the older generations, also like to complain about people not striking it out on their own as a causal factor for why they remain poor.

It is a popular trope in culture too. It makes people feel good about themselves if they can forget about the shoulders they stood on, and for those who do not have shoulders to stand on, it gives them hope.

I think it would be as you say if it included "because of race". But it sounded more like it implied "because of systemic racism/classism"

I have a similar but different thing I tell people: I think engineers should do a stint as a product manager. Spending time trying to solve problems on "the other side of the table" forces you to learn a lot about the business impact that different design, implementation, and prioritization decisions makes. Two years in Product made me a better engineer than the previous 5 years of cranking out features.

Thats not to say that a career product person will immediately be a good engineer. You need to be good at writing software. But if you get to a point in your career where you think your learning has kind of leveled out, go do a tour in product.
> But the startup faced challenges. Its price tag of $80 million represents less than what it raised over the years in venture capital, according to PitchBook.

It's a shame that they sold for less than their funding. The product is significantly better than other lyric sites, and has been for a long time without a hint of decent competition.

It's partially been superseded by lyric integration in Spotify, but it still fills a useful niche, and does it well.
It's narcissism incarnate to me.
( Opinions are my own )

Anacdata: last year I passed the interview at Google. I completely failed to solve one of my coding interview questions. I demonstrated I knew what to do but I attempted a fancy way to write the code and it didn't pan out. Completely fell on my ass.

Other interviews went very well though. Only comment I got was "X said your code was a little messy" because I used python generators + list comprehensions.

You can totally fail a question in a tight time slot if the process is built right.

What is stupid is the variability in opinions if interviews. This one dude disliked list comprehensions so much he lowered his rating of me despite this being a normal thing for python programmers. You have no way to know if you hit a nerve ahead of time for an interview and it sucks. I had similar things happen with things like discussing the C spec with interviewers in questions like "what happens when you dereference a pointer to 0" and then you have to say "you want me to say segfault but this depends on the vmm and ring your process is running on".
Can you recommend one for USB or ZigBee that works with HA?

Nope. It's about equal to modern twitter. All I get is a blank screen indicating you want me to execute untrusted code from your domain. Twitter at least tells me that it's blocking me intentionally for not running it's code though.
I don't think you need to test for the length of the word. You just need to have at most 1 character that appears an odd number of times. My first instinct would be to scan the word character by character and use a set to check the number of occurrences:

has_palindrome(word)
s = empty_set
for c in word
if s.contains(c)
then s.remove(c)
else s.insert(c)
return s.size() <= 1

If I'm not allowed to depend on an existing set implementation, I would likely fall back to a quadratic solution that counts each character. If there are special performance concerns I may sort the word before hand, or implement a special kind of set.
I think category theory can help to give a "roadmap" for what the basic theorems of each course will be. Personally, as a student, I always felt like my courses jumped around too much without explanation, and like I could never see what was coming next. Knowing category theory has helped me see the bigger picture. When we encounter a new category, it helps to understand what products, limits, colimits, functors, natural transformations, Yoneda Lemma, adjunctions, etc. look like for this category. Indeed, most of the theorems in a topology or algebra or measure theory course fit into this mold -- we define what a morphism is and then prove a bunch of facts about products, functors, etc..
I don't know about that. Seems like it only tweaked the UI, not the UX, and i find the official one more visually appealing.
FYI nickel is plentiful and unlikely to ever be in shortage. It's just so cheap right now that most nickel deposits are "non-economic", and thus not counted as part of proven reserves. The same thing is true with uranium for example.

see here for the difference between resources and reserves,

http://minesqc.com/en/informations-sheets/what-are-mineral-r...

We are currently extracting 2.5 MT of nickel a year, from reserves of 94 MT. Resources are estimated at 300 MT, which is definitely a lower end, as prospecting tends to concentrate profitable ores. If the price of nickel went up, we'd see more resources becoming reserves and more discovery of new resources.
I've managed high follower (100K+), high engagement (3%+) accounts with 99% distinct human followers, and I can tell you that there is no prize for likes.

It doesn't matter if your photo is getting 10 likes or 3500 likes, dozens of comments and reshares. It just becomes related to relative performance of the other post.

So you shouldn't use instagram for that.

Also, you should know that hashtags are not competitive at all for many years now, there is practically zero utility in using them at this point and you should only use them for irony or an extended caption, as they can convey your thoughts without a sentence, you're welcome. Although you can still game hashtags, but even then it is just good for balancing out attrition of followers and maintaining an account size, as opposed to actually growing the account.

Going back to the main subject, you can use the overall engagement as a resource to acquire other goods and services though, like a currency that is never spent. People, brands will associate and do things for you for free (or with you, for free) because of the dream of your engagement, analogous to why the same brands and people gamble on ads with all the large tech conglomerates, a potential well of engagement. But you are just the dealer building inventory, and dealers know not to get high on their own supply so you shouldn't either. So by realizing there is no prize offered by the platform, no achievement unlocked, not even a digital sticker, you can short circuit the dopamine hits.
I recall Genius was hot, hot, hot way back when. Crazy that it was sold for less than 100M.
But on VNET enabled kernels (enabled in GENERIC since 13.0) you can have multiple instances of the IP stack to provide jails with their own IP stacks including a loopback, firewall(s) and IPsec.

Unfortunately you are right about POSIX.

POSIX 2017 has 3951 pages !

Adding those to the current C standard would make about 4700 pages, a little more than 4 times the size of the Common Lisp standard.
And then we return to a case of personal protection over community protection, undermining the case for vaccine mandates.
Genius is really useful no doubt. but it's one of those companies that shouldn't have taken vc funding. maybe PE funds / debt financing yeah, every now and then to keep it stable. but once again the employees pay the cost.

It's been some time, but as I roughly recall it:

- Very few original content on the platform (and a lot of relevant content is already old and exists elsewhere), and trying to get that content on the platform is a huge copyright minefield.

- If you as a website owner wanted to allow your users to annotate your content, you had to include their script snippet to the website. I wouldn't be suprised if a brower extension based method would have been better for bootstrapping that side of the business.

Is there any convention where saying "the Far-Side" is necessary as opposed to "the Far Side"? Either in a style guide or industry jargon? I've noticed a tendency for this kind of unnecessary and excessive hyphenation to happen in some circumstances and I wonder about it. It seems similar to things like "make sure your dependencies are up-to-date", which there is no reason to prefer over the already correct English "up to date". If it was being used as an adjective, I would understand more, e.g. "ensure up-to-date dependencies".

I’ve always enjoyed taking photos, but much of the enjoyment has come from having other people see and appreciate them.

FB & Instagram reduced time between taking a photo and having people see it, and there have been times where I posted particular photos because I knew they’d get more upvotes, not because they were photos I particularly treasured.

Though I blame FB & Instagram for a lot, I don’t entirely blame them for my change in behaviour. A decade and a half prior, Flickr had the same basic dynamic. People posted photos with tags, others upvoted them. A feed displayed popular posts. The difference is with the device. Looking at a photo that’s physically smaller than a real-life Polaroid isn’t a massively pleasurable experience, so to compensate the photo needs to go further with its content — closer crops etc. I also end up seeing more imagery, because each viewing is sort of throwaway, than I did using Flickr. I don’t blame IG for that either, even though it clearly benefits them.
I wrote that it doesn’t get talked about which isn’t precise.

It’s largely ignored by most, dismissed or downvoted, and our society tends to pretend it’s not a problem.
In the end it's always a Regulatory issue depending on the regulations of the country where the device is sold. I'm sure there are countries where regulations are very lax, but those will tend to be countries where the market is tiny, so most reputable manufacturers will avoid them.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I think these Open Source Hardware/Software medical device projects are great. I really do. However people need to understand why they can't be considered the equivalent of a device that's built following the necessary regulations so they can make informed decisions about how they can be used.
> Set on getting more: likes, followers, comments, I soon found ways to improve my metrics:

I think the fact that 'taking better/more interesting/more unique photos' is not on this list is telling.
Sure, but i'm not even talking about externalities or 2nd order effects. I'm talking about first order effects.

Google, FB, JPM, etc. achieve 350% growth over 5 years. OK. Does that mean they produce 350% as much utility?

If these were Tesla, we'd also count the number of cars and the conversation would be a lot more grounded. We'd quickly realize that the market values Tesla's future in a certain way, Ford's another. We wouldn't accidentally conclude that the economy is suddenly making way more cars.

What is it that the economy is doing more of?

If I remember correctly, their method for “annotate the world” was less expand the types of content on genius.com and more some sort of extension or standard for slapping their annotations onto other people’s sites which never really took off and also pissed people off.

Politically, I do not think the US will let a deflationary spiral happen as long as it can print money. Sufficient portions of the population are fully invested in the equities market, and I expect the US to pull out all the stops to prop up their prices. They might take a hit for a couple years (although I bet even that seems politically unacceptable), but on a timeframe of more than a few years, I expect the US government to keep inflating, assuming they are able to per the conditions in my previous comment.
If you've been working as a developer for more than a few months you really should have delivered some form of business value. Building a proof-of-concept that allows a company to explore an idea before being thrown in the bin is still business value.

This sort of question is mostly asked to understand if you know/care how your work impacts the bottom line.
