At this point, I could retire, but I have no idea what to do with the rest of my life. I feel like I have achieved all I could (which is very wrong, but that's how it feels)

I'm no longer young and I have family, so simply packing my bags and touring the world is out. Can't take my kids for a 1y world tour either, the school system doesn't allow it. Going on expeditions would saddle my wife with the full child care, something I dare not ask. Just staying at home for the kids would probably get boring.

I did like to code, but 10y in enterprise have cooled me to it somewhat and I feel my age. Just joining some OSS project to kill time isn't that great either if you just dropped your coding job.

I don't really know how to socialize and have no (next to no) friends. And those that I have, I tend to neglect for some reason.

I have some ADHD traits and the older I get, the harder I find it to focus for longer times or concentrate deeply enough to really solve challenging problems, so I doubt I'll start 3D-printing the next drone generation or rebuild a vintage car or something.

It's a weird problem to have, but I feel like not retiring so I don't bore myself to death.
I wondered if there was more to it than the article said; perhaps another device near the house relaying the keyless-entry signal to this Gameboy.
If you're volunteering, why shouldn't you work on projects that you find interesting? I don't understand the point of view of the older dev.
Unless they're doing some shady things, it doesn't seem to me like a city/community will lose money on a nomad. They still need to pay for goods and services, housing, travel, etc. Local business makes money, and government taxes it.

Traditional tourists may spend more money, but nomads still likely spend more than locals do.
Culture, 100% is the reason. But I feel the real problem here is how we CANNOT talk about the negative effects of culture. Growing up black/Mexican I was made fun of by blacks and Mexicans for being smart, acting white etc. and I know I'm not the only one who experienced this.

Intelligence was not valued in black culture when I was growing up and I'd argue is still not.
Thanks, I forgot about "applejack". I didn't know it was a kind of brandy (Calvados is basically brandy). And I certainly didn't know it was traditionally made by freezing out the water. I thought it was just another name for fermented apple-juice.

So I am now better-informed (HN is a good place to get better-informed!)
Downvote this to oblivion, but I would love to see the USPS adopt some type of dollar backed crypto and put it into place with this. From inside their own processes it would be easy to implement and not as burdensome for their infrastructure as some other monetary software, and for the end users, any wallet app that would support whatever crypto would work, so that USPS didn't have to build their own.
Facebook is "outcompeting" other news sites in the very narrow sense of "bigger number better" - they have more users, more pageviews, and so on. But they absolutely play dirty when it comes to how they get those numbers. They control the algorithm and the user interface by which people discover news - so they can pick and choose who wins and loses on their platform. The reason why people want Facebook regulated is because Facebook is already, in a sense, regulating the rest of the web.

Furthermore, many of the original landmark copyright decisions regarding, say, Google; were specifically decided to be fair use... partially on the basis that things Google did were sending monetizable traffic back to web publishers. Facebook's actions take the form of these fair uses, but they use their control over their platform to reclaim the value they would ordinarily be creating for publishers. This puts those exceptions to copyright in jeopardy - and that's exactly what we're seeing in, say, the EU.

This is a tricky issue to struggle with, and I've done a fair amount of thinking on this. I think that it's worthwhile to become knowledgeable and capable in everything that you hire someone for. There are exceptions which are impossible, like being a doctor, but by and large I think most work is learnable. I just don't think it's okay to say "oh I'm just not a math person, or a person who does physical labor, or a person who can fix a car". Certainly, learning a variety of fields takes time and isn't economically optimal, but that's not what's important.

In the example of cleaning your own home, everyone should be able to do that barring a disability. Learn how to do it, learn to do it well, then offload it to someone else and routinely ensure you know how to do it well. I think a similar approach is useful in business as well. I think middle managers and execs give themselves way too strong of a pass on understanding how to actually do the jobs in their own company. This is partially why so many managers have almost no idea how their internal systems actually work.

Anyway, diatribe over.

It kinda ties in with modern-day anti-establishment conspiracy thinking; big banks are bad, just like science is bad. It kinda started with the vaccines cause autism trend, which quickly devolved into vaccines are Bill Gates' 5G chips for mind control, gargle bleach instead.
> “How can you not know what BGP is?” “You’ve never heard of Rust?” Most of us have heard these kinds of statements, probably too often.

My problem is I’ve heard of it, probably even know a bit about it but never used or worked with it. Meanwhile it seems like everyone around me is both an insane domain expert in their own thing while also a pretty damn good generalist having worked across everything.
With QML you can implement native fractional scaling but I don't know how it interacts with Windows's scaling mostly because I don't have a high DPI screen on my Windows computer.

My application has a setting where you can choose whatever arbitrary scale you want, smaller or larger than default.
North-South traffic in Austin is the big problem. Because Austin stretches from North to South-- from the suburb of Kyle in the South, or the suburb of Georgetown to the North.

East-West commuting is much easier. The wise strategy is to live East/West of town, not North/South.

I think part of it is that we've had near-zero interest rates for the last dozen or so years. So banks can't make any money from small balance checking accounts, hence the ubiquity of minimum account balances. The traditional business model of factional reserve retail banking just doesn't work that well with super-low interest rates.

More people should be aware of Comrade Stakhanov, the "10x miner": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Stakhanov

> In 1988, the Soviet newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda claimed that the widely cited achievements of Stakhanov were puffery. The paper insisted that Stakhanov had used a number of helpers on support works, while the throughout was tallied for him alone. Still, according to the newspaper, Stakhanov's approach had eventually led to increased productivity by means of a better work organization, including specialization and task sequencing

Exactly the same discussion, except there it was tonnes of coal which can be easily and unambiguously measured. But they can't be easily attributed. How much of his work was really that of his team? And how much of it was simply inflation by his managers for propaganda purposes? And how much of it was, underneath all the propaganda, real process improvements?
It doesn't really. Take the Rwandan genocide, they used machetes and guns. Or lynch mobs: All you need is some rope, and maybe pitch forks.

Because we're talking about different things.

A master craftsman will solve a problem quickly, efficiently, and elegantly, combining insightful attention to detail with speed and effectiveness.

A master creator will produce work of lasting relevance and power. The metric is quality and impact, not speed and efficiency.

Occasionally you get people like Mozart who combine elements of both, but they're exceptionally rare. And they work best in a relatively limited context which they have mastered completely. They're not perpetually chasing the latest shiny. (Mozart basically knew one style. Even he would struggle to master all the languages and genres that are common today.)

Turing would likely have made a poor backend developer, but he produced work that had lasting impact.

A typical 10X developer will be more like a master builder than a master computer scientist.

I don't find the labelling offensive, because it's clearly realistic. Some people are just very, very good. They produce clean, tight, code at speed, far more quickly than muddlers who produce reams of mediocre code which creaks along, breaks when you look at it, and doesn't actually solve the problem.

But a 10Xer isn't going to be good at everything. If they mostly do backend, they're not going to go toe to toe with game devs. Etc.

Agreed.

But they aren't passive. GTA for example isn't passive storytelling, the person who is being told a story is an active participant in it.

GTA tells a story the same way the "Monopoly" board game tells a story, you have your avatar, you move him around and there are development in the story.

But it's not the same as passively watching a movie, even though there are cinematic sequences.
I don't like the implicit statement that trades workers are not smart.
More lines is generally less good, but I hesitate to really give out this advice. Classes are useful because they make great nucleation sites for future complexity, and often, more simpler lines of code is easier to read (and change). Not all additional lines of code are equally bad.
Doesn't shorting depend on someone else agreeing to pay you no matter what at the end of its runtime? I don't see that happening. And who would be liable, the party loaning you the share? They would disappear. The exchange? Bankrupt. Tether itself? It'll vanish pretty much overnight.

There are no guarantees that you would get any money if you short something unregulated like tether.

That’s the uncomfortable facts to the aspirational blather. It’s a poor enough medium of exchange that people go off-chain even when they do take payments with it, it’s an unreliable store of value subject to wild price fluctuations, and if you think anyone in their right mind would use it as a unit of account imagine a mortgage debt denominated in bitcoin and the possibility of owing 10x what the house is worth if the coin goes up.

The primary benefits of an Elite MBA program is two fold -

1. Network with the rich kids and who is who.

2. Mindset - minimum acceptable job title might be something you and me might aspire to achieve by the time we retire.

These two might get you to 90%, the other 10% is doing the right thing at the right time.

ps: I can neither afford nor put up with the grind of an MBA.
The thing about racism is, a system can be racist without being explicitly so. Even without Jim Crow laws and segregation, even assuming everyone is perfectly colorblind, the historical context where there were slavery and Jim Crow laws for hundreds of years means that whites wield considerably greater social capital than blacks, and that means they have a significant social advantage.

The amelioration for this is equity, or as you call it "positive discrimination". That means -- yes, holding whites back so that blacks have an opportunity to step forward. Blacks need greater advantages in order to achieve social parity with whites. It is also exceedingly shameful that one of the easiest ways to repair the damage caused to blacks' pool of social capital -- slave reparations -- was never considered by the U.S. government.

> Everyone who holds cryptocurrency is holding Tether’s bag of poo.

Or they recognize you can't time the market, and see upside despite a nearly-inevitable tether crash? If investors had been waiting for tether to crash they would have missed the run from $1k - $30+k, and I don't think you can claim with a straight face that was all tether manipulation. Again, can't time the market.
Gotta do it the old-fashioned way:

1) Find someone you know and trust who owns enough USDT.

2) Borrow their USDT, then immediately sell them for USD.

3) Pay some fee over time for the loan, and then have the contract expire at some point.

You would need some kind of contract for the fees and end condition, but it could just be an email that you agree to. If you don't know and trust any cryptofans, then no, there isn't a good way.
The best tip imho is to use `vimtutor`. It's installed on every machine that has vim (to the best of my knowledge) and provides an interactive tutorial that builds on itself to teach vim knowledge. It's really cool, if you haven't checked it out just fire up a terminal and give it a play.

The video on YouTube has exactly 30fps, you can right click and view the information for nerds (I think its called in English).

Of course this doesn't help with the issue of pre-processing, but assuming no frames have been removed or interpolated the factor 200 should be more or less correct.

Problem left: at least I can't really mentally process what 200× faster/slower would look like. (Besides turning the light on tonight, opening the window and watching at moths flying into my room and taking off again...)
I knew an awesome software architect who retired early. He was back at work a few years later. I asked why. "Turns out I'm kinda shit at my hobbies, but I'm quite good at this." I think I'm the same way. I like the sharpness that comes of working on interesting stuff, and I've devoted the prime of my life to becoming good at tech. I like the work, but often hate some of the boss bullshit. I like the person I am when I'm focused and working on interesting work. I started doing contract work just swapping a boss for a customer changed almost everything. I'm also free to fire the rare customer who won't listen or can't get out of their own way (and I try to provide radical candor about what they can do to fix it during my exit interview). An agency has emerged around me and now we have 15 people doing the same. Email is in my profile if anyone is interested. We ask people to work at least 20 hours a week (otherwise it's not worth the trouble of onboarding). We favor competent, senior, independent people who like to build things. I don't think I'll ever retire, but I'll shift more and more into "work I love, conducted on my own terms". That being said I'm also considering a move to a rural area and want to construct a pole barn workshop. Crazy how much overlap there is here for this particular interest. Maybe it's something in the zeitgeist.
> Also I wonder if I'll still be able to do this when I'm in my 40s or 50s. My parents always taught me it gets tougher to find a job as you get older. Obviously someone that's good will always find, but I wonder in general how aging will apply to tech.

I work for 2-3 years and take anywhere from 6-18 months off in between jobs. I'm pushing 50 and it hasn't been a problem.

I hear the ageism claim all the time, but I've seen no evidence of it whatsoever. I have no problem finding a job when I put myself on the market, usually within a few weeks at most. Many of the people I work with are in their 40s and 50s. I've never heard or seen any age discrimination.

I occasionally run into people in their 50s who haven't learned anything new in decades, but they're always working. Sometimes they express fear that they won't be able to find a new job. In all these cases, it's warranted, but also deserved. Regardless of your age, if you're not keeping up with the technology trends, you don't belong in the game. You don't need to chase the latest flavor, but if you're a software engineer, you'd better keep up with at least some modern tech stacks. That applies regardless of age.
CPTPP has numerous IP protections, restrictions on state owned enterprises, and a bunch of other encroachments on the members' state sovereignty. China is not going to enter the pact as written. It will either have to be watered down significantly, which defeats the purpose of the agreement as is, or China will not abide by the rules while arguing that they are.

I think China's application is more of a diplomatic/strategic move than an actual intent to join the pact.
> The 'network' of an elite MBA is diminished with democratized access to capital and executives (I.e. LinkedIn, Hunter/Snov.io, and Crunchbase)

This is breathtakingly naïve.
For context, I've accepted ~$400k (Eth, USDT, USDC) in payments for physical assets.

A few important questions here:

- What currencies do your customers hold?

– At what price points are you transacting?

– What are you selling?

– How much of this process are you looking to automate?

– Estimated monthly trx volume?

Presumably you are not interested in exposure to price volatility (since you're not holding as an investment) so your holdings should be denominated in USDC and custodied, earning a yield through BlockFi or Nexo.

I'll keep an eye out for your answer in the comments.
