> How can I practice detachment (buddhism inspired letting go) while simultaneously accomplishing goals?

I think this is somewhat addressed in Hinduism -- the thing you need to realize is that there is your Self, and there is your Role, and those are two entirely separate things. Your Role might be "spouse" or "child" or "software engineer" or "soldier in an army." (not trying to assign any particular morality to a role). Your true Self is entirely independent of that. It is incumbent on you to perform your role to the standards expected, but it's also just a subsystem that exists within your greater Self, it is _not_ equivalent to your self. To find a role, you need to think about unmet needs in the universe. The role you perform is not about you and your self, but it is about something much greater.

Buuuut that doesn't necessarily address motivation - what if we're fine just wanting nothing and sitting around all day just wanting that nothing. The way that is typically addressed in Eastern religion is to actually make that into a virtue - sure, if you want to sit around and self-actualize all day then go ahead and do it, you will be one of the greatest saints ever to live. But that's the catch--it's _way_ harder than it sounds. Generally most of us will get bored at some point, and that boredom will drive us to look at the fuller picture of the universe.
Ask HN: What was your experience like moving from an IC to a manager role?
At my current job my boss and I have been discussing a potential move for me into management. I am currently a technical/functional lead but I find myself more and more dealing with “people” challenges and helping to unblock others rather than purely solving technical issues.

At this point I’m a little on the fence about whether becoming a full-blown manager appeals to me. I really like working on technical issues but at the same time I love being able to provide some leadership and guidance for those who need it. It would also give me slightly more weight when it comes to departmental decisions and high-level strategic goals which I do find appealing.

In general, I’m curious what the transition was like for most folks who moved from being an individual contributor to a manager. Did you ultimately end up loving it? Hated it?

Any advice and input is greatly appreciated!
Mostly. Ham is meant for play, not as a primary means of communication or for commercial purposes.

Note that the whole point of Julia is that it saves you the rewrite. There is Julia code running on top supercomputers that gives speed competitive to C/C++/Fortran. You will have to put in some work to get Julia code to be that fast, but it is usually dramatically easier than a rewrite in a different language.

Windows has something like 88% market share of desktop OSes. https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share...

It's very nice for you that you can tolerate a Linux desktop. But for an important product like Firefox, the discussion is about the monopolistic tactics that the dominant OS is doing.
That's an awfully short hill to die on.

Youtube is gamified. Jeff doesn't play the game, he doesn't get the views. If he doesn't get the views, he doesn't get the sponsorships. If he doesn't get the sponsorships, he goes back to being a just another devops engineer who doesn't make the thing no one else will ever make.

I get it, the face is the worst. But until youtube fixes its algorithm (i dunno, to de-prioritize videos with 'the face') the Jeff's have to do the face to get the views to get the algorithmic advantage to get the views to get the sponsors to make the making worth the making.
When I was an organic chemist, growing crystals was of paramount importance for certain structure determinations using X-ray crystallography (to answer "did I really prepare what I think I prepared?")

With sensitive compounds, sometimes you can't just let things evaporate. Also as the article states, weather conditions might mess you up.
IMO the coolest trick we had to solve this was osmosis of an anti-solvent into a saturated solution.

A small sealed container with a saturated solution of your compound/salt is punctured, and put in a bigger sealed container containing a worse but miscible solvent for the compound under study. Slow diffusion into the inner container causes very reproducible crystal growth, as long as you can control the temperature.

> Customer choice and experience should almost always trump “increased costs”.

No it shouldn't and that should be obvious.

> Plus, this ignores practically the entirety of the rest of their comment, where they explain that the extreme openness just means that companies make it absurdly easy to do so they explicitly don’t have to deal with all that.

Yes, this is good, but the FTC's ruling does this as well so it's better. Only way a company could get around offering click to cancel would be to not offer online signup. Best of luck to those companies succeeding!
Yeah, go for something like "quality signature" or something along those lines.
It's very interesting how religious organizations behaved over the course of the 20th century with respect to the rise of communism and fascism and the post WWII Cold War.

One of the more interesting episodes revolves around the Spanish Civil War, involving Franco and the Catholic Church and its strange little subgroup, Opus Dei. That story remains shrouded in mystery (the whole Franco-Pius-Hitler-Mussolini connection is probably why, see "Hitler's Pope" by John Cornwell, 1999).

Other investigations have revealed the following [1]:

> Since World War II, the CIA has:

> Subsidized a Catholic lay organization that served as the political slugging arm of the pope and the Vatican throughout the Cold War;

> Penetrated the American section of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Vatican orders;

> Passed money to a large number of priests and bishops — some of whom became witting agents in CIA covert operations;

> Employed undercover operatives to lobby members of the Curia (the Vatican government) and spy on liberal churchmen on the pope’s staff who challenged the political assumptions of the United States;

> Prepared intelligence briefings that accurately predicted the rise of liberation theology; and

> Collaborated with right-wing Catholic groups to counter the actions of progressive clerics in Latin America.

[1] Mother Jones 1983 Martin A. Lee "The CIA and the Vatican’s Intelligence Apparatus"

This all foreshadows (and is concurrent with) the CIA's dalliance with violent Islamic groups as a counter to the Godless Commies, from involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood as an anti-Nasser force in Egypt (1950s) onwards, most notably in Afghanistan in the 1980s, but it's a common theme. It's a pretty sordid history, with disastrous consequences (i.e. 9/11 etc.).
Yeah but this story is about them making a change that blocks EdgeDeflector a tool that only exists for specifically those users that want to go far out of their way to override this behavior, so it's not like it's going to innocently snare someone who didn't ask for it.

> Is there any past examples of investment/crowdfunding for a lawsuit, where the investors earn returns if a lawsuit succeeds?

Sounds like you're describing litigation funding (a fairly established market). You'd probably want to back it by insurance to cover the investors and party bringing the action against adverse costs exposure.

Litigation funding is often provided by insurers anyway as a result, as they can put up the cash, and cover the risk of costs via their insurance.
Added bonus, the classes autocomplete in most editors, allowing you to style a component extremely quickly. "Tailwind" is a very apt name.

> The need for identity isn’t going away [..]

My identity is just fine, but thanks for your concern :)

I can walk into my local bank branch and ask to either pay in or withdraw money and they don't ask for any kind of ID(!), or my account number, becuase they actually know me :) They even tend to say "Hello $firstname" when I walk in, even if I only called in to use the ATM.

Amazing how good ol'fashioned _offline_ identity can actually be secure.

Try walking into my local branch with faked ID of me and attempting to withdraw funds from my account.
You can just use `@code_llvm` to generate LLVM code, or `@code_native` to generate assembly. Does that do what you need?

That's really easy to do on iOS these days. Maybe the last version or two. You can "markup" PDFs and include signatures, etc.

Of course rejection hurts. Some people shrug and let it roll off never to think about it again. Some people get mad. Some people use it as motivation to do bigger things.
which APIs are those?

> Not sure if that quells the "billionaires should pay their fair dues" shouts that haunt him on every public discourse.

Probably not. I think there are calls for 90% taxes on all earnings over $100 million or so. Even with a 90% tax, there's still plenty of incentive to continue earning/building. I think the argument is that a person can reasonably be individually responsible for $10-100 million of value, but past that isn't realistic. Any excess value captured by one person is almost certainly actually being created by either their employees or by public infrastructure.

This 90% tax would really just be re-capturing that value by the entities which created the value (the taxpayers who work for the billionaire, and/or the government who built the infrastructure used).

I mean, if you were paid $600/hr since Christopher Columbus sailed to America and saved every penny, you still wouldn't have a billion dollars. It's really, really hard to say anyone has worked hard enough or created enough value on their own to justify a billion.

And a 90% tax over $100 million would still allow Bezos/Musk to have $30 billion each. Which is equivalent to a someone saving $1 million/year since the middle of the last ice age.
For a couple of years I made my living as an audio mastering engineer, which involves making tiny changes at or below the threshold of perception. One of the main ways I set myself up for success was to accept the human perceptual mechanism's propensity for illusion, and then to build systems which helped me avoid being deceived by it.

• An instant level-matched AB switching mechanism for auditioning changes

• Preferring tools which could be checked under optimal perceptual conditions, and choosing to avoid gear which did not lend itself easily to such conditions. This generally meant preferring software plugins and avoiding outboard gear unless the budget was very high (which it rarely was for my clients).

• Isolating changes and amplifying the effect to well above perceptual threshold in order to get an impression of the change before dialing it back down. (This is a standard practice, especially for mix engineers.)

Many audio engineers don't hold the same priorities, especially "audiophile" types those who advertise their "golden ears"[1]. And many customers don't want someone who acknowledges the fallibility of their perceptions. But I was confident that I was absolutely doing my best work and offering the best possible value to my clients.

[1] It's basically impossible to talk intelligently about audio in an open internet forum (including HN) because there will always be a swarm of participants who don't accept the limits of perception and their own propensity for illusion.
I will never understand why so many products offer saas pricing when it is of no benefit to the consumer. I don't want to be paying $10/month for something I might only use a few times a year. Just let me pay as I go. I'm relieved to see that model here. Finally. I signed up and I hope other services will follow suit in the same way and relieve us of saas pricing fatigue.

Interestingly a startup I helped with some BI work, I advised then to change to a pay-as-you-go model instead of a monthly subscription and their sales revenue sky-rocketed.
So does Zoom, that doesn't mean we should perpetuate it.
The draft revisions actually propose such authentication to be mandatory to implement for service providers if their users would like to use it.

That is, it specifically targets websites (particularly Very Large Online Platforms) that they MUST accept such ID in lieu of an email or password, at the user’s request. This was part of the original motivation for the revisions, to target “Sign in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Google” and require such sites also offer a “Login with EU” option.

- [0] Both customer and merchant in EEA: 0.3%

- [1] Customer in UK, merchant in EEA: 1.5%

- [2] Customer in UK, merchant in UK: 0.3%

What's weird, though, is that the interchange for UK-issued debit cards used at an EEA merchant is also high (1.15%).

I’ve generally found the GPS only resolution of my phone to be greatly inferior to my Garmin. In cities cell phones depend heavily on cell towers to boost GPS resolution. Out in the back woods this difference becomes more stark.

I can also keep a GPS running longer with less power. My 64st will last an entire day on two NiMH batteries, and it takes less available power to charge. Cell phones do a lot more, but that “more” comes at a cost of energy consumption.
I've spent enough time around doctors to know that as long as you have something obvious they'll make the right diagnosis, and that if it is something rare they might get it right. But for GPs that doesn't really matter: they don't diagnose unless it is something simple, they just pass you on to the relevant expert after performing their filter function to avoid hypochondriacs from clogging the system.

Don't like it? Get a second opinion. Don't like that? Request a review. Don't like that? Self medicate to your hearts content, or go with crystals, aromatherapy or whatever you believe works. But don't go around the interwebs spouting your self derived conclusion from papers that you barely - if at all - understood as fact.

Because that's the rub: the people who were all over Vitamin-D, Bleach, HCQ and lately Ivermectin were just looking for excuses not to vaccinate and that is a problem, none of these miracle cures were miracle cures, they weren't even cures. At best they were no-ops, at worst they harmed the health of those that received them. By amplifying these messages thousands of people have needlessly died.

But Ivermectin seems to have run its course. I predict a new miracle cure with a new champion somewhere in the next couple of months, just like Vitamin-D and HCQ before it.

What makes Emacs unique to me doesn't have anything to do editing code. All the tools for doing that are incredibly similar, specially after LSP became a thing. Writing code in Emacs or VSC is practically the same for me, though I happen to prefer the former.

It's mainly about how powerful plaintext is and how Emacs and it's community acknowledged that. Org and org-roam are extensions of my brain by now, I've even installed Emacs in my smartphone because of that. Ledger-mode is the most ideal finance management I could conceive, and I've set-up Emacs (CUA-mode with just a ledger hydra) for two family members so they could use it too. I have absolutely no idea how I could make Ledger tolerable to non-technical people without Emacs. I also create beautiful presentations in a couple of minutes using org-reveal.

Besides, it's hack-ability certainly inspires inumerable beautiful creations. Some packages like Magit, Hydra, Helm and avy are just that, beautiful. When I don't feel like programming, I change some config and write programs as an excuse to test it, because Emacs is fun. It's no wonder people who act like understanding your editor is a chore have a bad experience, they're missing the point.

I don't remember why, but I learned regexes maybe my sophomore year of college because it seemed like such an interesting thing that I might need some day? I also started to learn SQL about the same time. Those feel like herculean efforts so foreign now because I've been using them for so long.

One day at my second job out of college, I wrote a quick regex for something, and one of my more senior colleagues looked at me like I was a wizard. It was amazing to be able to get some street cred for that. To me, it validated the effort I went through previously.

I'm trying to learn about SAT/SMT solvers now. Not because I have a pressing need for them but because it's a completely foreign thing that - who knows? - maybe I'll be able to put to good use today. The problem with SAT/SMT is that there are nowhere near the clear learning resources compared with, say, regexes.

One of my "executive function" problems is that I get overwhelmed when I think about things I need to do. I noticed that a sort of movie starts playing in my head of how to accomplish the task, i.e. the steps entailed, resources needed, etc.

What happens frequently is that my brain takes multiple discrete tasks and attempts to simulate each one's steps to completion simultaneously. I suddenly find myself at the front door paralyzed for five minutes, "Should I grab the trash since I'm going to go check the mail? I have to walk the dog, I can't carry all this trash while holding the dog. Where will I put the dog when I get the mail. Ok, put the leash on the dog, grab the trash... Crap, there's so much trash! Ok, just take the office trash out..."

OpenAPI for Robotics - a specification for describing ROS systems
The unenforceable argument isn't really a thing. If we look at some common encryption standards, the call sign is in the clear as it has to be for routing.

In the case where someone is swearing with their friends over an encrypted channel, it's just not a problem, no child will hear the swears without a quantum supercomputer.

In the case where a business is illegally using ham bands to avoid paying license fees, they can already do this, nobody is actually checking. You can encrypt P25 on the bands all day long because nobody has radios that work with that digital mode and nobody will spend the time running signal analysis to figure out that A) it's P25, B) it's encrypted and C) where it's coming from. If it became rampant the FCC has the tools to very quickly figure out all of these things and if the broadcasts don't have a call sign and are coming from a business premises then it's obviously breaking the law anyway.

If it could be a problem, it already would be. All the Chinese digital business radios support encryption now. We're just not allowed to use it because people are scared of bogeymen
