Perhaps one of the missions they were 'tasked with' was ramping up tensions with Russia (for the benefit of the arms dealers) by launching a lot of bogus false flag attacks on US corporations, with attendent hysterical media coverage?

The CIA is more of a propaganda outfit than anything else in my opinion, although their dirty banking and drug dealing games are right up there to. Their 'intelligence role' on important issues could be entirely subsumed by the DIA. Should have been shut down in the 1960s like JFK wanted to do. Useless failure agency on 9/11, too. And, the CIA was behind all the dirty Iraq/Afghanistan torture programs, were they not?
Anyone can look to see that you give racists carte blanche. It's crystal clear. What makes you think I'll stop fighting racism on this shithole site??? I, unlike you actually want to clean up this terrible industry, starting here. It's laughable that you dare to give me a little speech from your high horse when you're in the gutter with a bunch of racists. So no, I don't care what you say, you're very clearly the enemy and the YC puppet. Ban my account if you want, I can always make more. If you dox me, we'll see some real fireworks.

This comment resonates with me but I’ve read on HN from people who’ve done physical labor that an office job is still much more preferable.

Also what you said applies to any office job and not just programming.

Physical labor maybe something that we enjoy but say running a farm requires insane amounts of it day in day out.
Depends on whether your wishes align with theirs.

For example: the long-term threads asking for a “TV” mode that will automatically play your library in channel format so that you can go channel surfing.

Even the very very basic version of this (the ability to automatically update playlists) is essentially a dead thread.

Sometimes I do the same - starting 6-7AM and by around noon I quit. I consider it quite normal and nothing to be ashamed of. Except some emergencies productive people (and I count myself as one) do not really shovel gravel 8 hours a day. No point in doing so.

Consideration means planning.

If you caught a policeman planning to shoot an innocent African American, or if a neo-nazi was found to be planning to blow up a synagogue, would you not suggest taking legal action?

If I planned to kill someone just like the us govt did, I would be in prison the next day.

Assange should be given a fair trial. But the government spying illegally and planning to kill him doesn't give anyone confidence in that.

"the new mechanicals have appeared everywhere in town. They state that they only follow the Prime Directive: "to serve and obey and guard men from harm". Offering their services free of charge, they replace humans as police officers, bank tellers, and more, and eventually drive Underhill out of business. Despite the Humanoids' benign appearance and mission, Underhill soon realizes that, in the name of their Prime Directive, the mechanicals have essentially taken over every aspect of human life. No humans may engage in any behavior that might endanger them, and every human action is carefully scrutinized. Suicide is prohibited. Humans who resist the Prime Directive are taken away and lobotomized, so that they may live happily under the direction of the humanoids."

She Bought Her Dream Home. Then a ‘Sovereign Citizen’ Changed the Locks
I have recently jumped ship from an employer of 3 years after adopting a similar attitude.

New Job will pay me double and as such will help me achieve my goals.

Old Company said if I stayed I could achieve a 25% increase in TC if I continued to work on "impactful projects" for 2 years or so. But those projects are the ones I hated there (otherwise a great company)

I've seen first hand when developers leave how all their prideful work becomes a burden to be distributed and shared, and while on notice myself I've seen how all my best and most impactful ideas and projects has been deprioritised. I expect some of it to be lost forever when I go. Instead of milking me for info on my most useful works (libraries, scripts, etc), they have me reassigning meaningless JIRA tickets.
I can't say I'm surprised. my experience with my grandmother has been that ATT is either predatory or useless.

I haven't bought anything in an att store in years - every iPhone I get comes straight from apple.
That’s hardly surprising. Running an ad campaign of “a great place to store all your illegal downloads” doesn’t seem like a wise strategy.

The core problem is that Plex is a business, with investors. Depending on pirated content is not a good model for business success, so they’re trying to pivot. IMO Jellyfin has it right: a non profit, open source solution.
There is no reliable scientific evidence that 2m is "safe". It's an arbitrary number. The WHO recommends 1m. It's really more a matter of airflow than distance.

I’m not the most wizened of veterans, but rarely have I seen someone put in a true solid 8 hours of work in a day (excluding 11th hour crunches), and even rarer with any regularity. The norm in my experience, in-office or remote, is 3 hours per day. It’s kind of like the televised broadcast of American football. Add up all the commercials (distractions), commentary (socializing), and stoppage (eating/relieving) and you’re left with a fraction of productivity. Not complaining; everything seems to have worked out just fine.
When I was 13 or so I started a computer repair company for people in my town and local businesses. I didn't keep very good track of how much I made but I would guess it was around $2k a month. Couldn't beat the money and freedom as a kid.
Appreciate the info. I tried it with a shield a while back and the experience was awful. Haven't tried again recently and it sounds like it's not worth the effort. I have endless issues from a business and go-to-market perspective with Plex, but it's tough to switch when the server and video playback have remained mostly bulletproof the last 18 months.
> I imagine COBOL is similarly stable but I have no experience there.

I haven't programmed in COBOL, but it is quite stable. One of the really nice things in COBOL is the "Environment Division", which has a Configuration Section, which provides information about the system on which the program is written and executed. It consists of two paragraphs −
– Source computer: System used to compile the program.
– Object computer: System used to execute the program.

Another remarkably stable language is Ada, I have used it to compile non-trivial programs from 30+ years ago, on a different architecture than it was originally written for (granted, without system dependency) using a modern compiler without anything more than (1) renaming identifiers which had been made keywords, (2) splitting files due to GNAT's implementation limitation regarding compilation-units.
It's quite comprehensive. The things you're talking about are covered under FHIR L4 and L5 (https://hl7.org/fhir/).
Making a move does not necessarily shift the turn to your opponent. You can have a position where all of your possible legal moves stalemate your opponent, in which case your move immediately ends that game and is the last move of the game.

Tangentially, this reminds me of an amusing chess conundrum. Is it possible for a position to occur in a legal game of chess where all pieces and pawns are on the board, all of them are on their original squares, and white does not have the move? For purposes of this question, a knight or rook is considered to be on its original square either if it is on the square it started on or if it has swapped positions with the other knight or rook of the same color.
I think it's the thinking that it must be a silver bullet to be of any use that has you calling it a fad.
Like hospitality. When I was cheffing it was near on always split shifts. 9:30 start and 10:00pm finish (if lucky).
I believe what they said happened, as it happened. Although, I'm not sure it is constructive to extrapolate it to either AT&T or T-Mobile as a brand though.

I've been on both networks at various points and my recommendation is to check Google Map Reviews before heading to either one's stores as some are consistently dreadful and others are fine/good.

Both get licked by Apple's stores though, but the staffing difference is very apparent upon entry (I'd guesstimate 100% more floor staff in Apple).

At least they aren't as bad/predatory/unpleasant as car dealerships though. When I'd pick dental appointments over car shopping/buying, you know it is egregious. They turn what could be a "fun" experience into a stressful annoyance.
It hasn't been really added to for a long time, either. I would be surprised at this point if they decide to finish the thing, it feels like I've been checking for over a year now, but starting out on an in-progress book that isn't even 50% of the way there yet sure sounds like a great exercise in disappointment. I'd love to see it get there and cover things more widely in terms of setting up a development environment as well as everything you mentioned, though.

Obvious example during WW2 both sides did it. So unless we are all passing around the bong and both sides can not be the good guys, then yes the good guys (Either the Nazis or the Allies) did it. The good guys do it all the time.

A example where the good guys (Unless you support the genocide I guess) didn't do it -

https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/13457754/RwandaD...

As the genocide was taking place, the United States military drafted a plan to jam RTLM's broadcasts, but this action was never taken, with officials claiming that the cost of the operation, international broadcast agreements and "the American commitment to free speech" made the operation unfeasible

What he supposedly did isn't relevant in the arguments being made. His right to a fair trial has already been compromised, and there's ample reason to suspect the US will continue to ignore that right.
Why can’t it be both? Since when are people or countries only motivated by one thing?

If you think the US went to war with Nazi Germany for purely altruistic reasons you’re sorely mistaken.

But at the same time an evil fascist dictatorship was defeated because the US got involved.

The world is a messy complicated space and human actions are messy and complicated.
Completely anecdotal, but as someone who has used ATT and Comcast for internet, and ATT and Verizon for mobile, I’ve had better luck with both Comcast and Verizon with customer service. Which is really saying something, because I’m pretty sure Comcast and Verizon are some of the most hated brands in the US, and not for no reason.

I’d love to give T-Mobile a try, but it seems like every year there’s a new massive security breach…. It does not inspire confidence.

It really shouldn't be. At the end of the day, the vast majority of workers are being compensated to do/build something they otherwise wouldn't of their own volition. Your mental health ought never be lower in priority than the ambitions of your senior management, or the ROI of the stakeholders.
They measured something specific about metabolism. But that doesn't prove that there are other similar/related aspects of health that are affecting it, such as hormone levels.

The fact that that is not mentioned at the outset of this article tells me it's deliberately misleading. Probably to help sell exercise programs.

The lingua franca comes from the dominant culture of the time. The massive colonial empire of Britain move things from latin to English and the rise and control of the US has perpetuated English even more so. If the Anglo countries all sank into the ocean, I doubt it would be very long until Mandarin developed into the dominant language. China would be the major trading power and without the need to work with America, there would be little need to continue with English as years progress.
Hopefully it won't involve me working in the field.

Also, halftone dots aren’t necessarily simple shapes. They are often designed to change shape as they go from 0 to 100% in order to have a shape that holds ink better (for some reason I don’t understand, a circle isn’t necessarily the best shape for holding its edge when made out of wet ink), and also for style (think large halftones where the dots are visibly long streaks all oriented in a particular direction which isn’t necessarily the same angle as the halftone grid). In fact, postscript allows you to prepend code that defines your own custom halftone function f(u,v) -> 0/1 (where u,v is the coordinate within the halftone cell) before printing your job, kinda like a weird little pixel shader from the 90’s.

> My problem with the word 'burnout' is that it denotes some kind of final state. I'm sure I've had periods of burnout but it doesn't last more than a day or two.

I hope it's not a final state.

I got burnt out hardcore a few years ago after giving 18 hour days, 7 days a week for 3 years without a break.

When I left, I took 6 months off to try and recharge, except by the end of the 6 months i developed a fear/anxiety/hate of anything technology related, and fell apart physically and mentally.

It's like the mental and physical consequences of working that schedule didn't catch up with me until I stopped.

So I took another 6 months, seeing a professional who prescribed a few things to help.

So after 1 year of not working, I'm back in technology. But I still hate it every day.

I've lost all passion for anything technology related.

I wish I had skills in another area other than technology so I could change careers, but I'd be starting at the bottom which isn't necessary a problem but I'm the primary breadwinner in the family so money becomes the problem.

I'm not sure what I'm getting at, I think for me right now burnout does indeed feel like a 'final state'. I hope one day I can get back to the point where it only lasts for a few days at a time.
I don't think this is very insightful. Using the first half of books for training data and the second half for testing data is still training the model specifically for these texts and authors. Not quite as bad as testing on the training data, but not great.
I’m curious how they define suicidal thoughts. Almost all of us think about suicide. What matters (and what’ll get one sent to a psychiatric hospital) is thoughts that are actively planning a suicide like time and place. Are these users engaged in suicidal ideation? Or are they an active danger to themselves? I would assume not, because product research on actively suicidal people would likely exceed the scope of human subject review board parameters.

Mindfulness (in the Buddhist tradition, at least) is not a synonym for "paying attention to detail". From[1]:
