What are you going to do after you quit? I've seen a lot of turn over, but it's not like anyone started working in the first place because they wanted, we all work for money, so I never really understood the great resignation idea, what happens next?

A great turn over where people that weren't happy try to find a job they are happy with might happen, and honestly that sounds great for everyone.
I get caught up in this kind of thinking a lot! To me, everywhere I look, there is so, so, so many cool things being created on a daily basis, if you have thought of an idea, it has most certainly already been tried. I sometimes think of people in previous centuries and how they had so much innovation ahead of them.

But they also didn't know what was ahead of them, just as we don't know what is ahead of us. Then I think of all the amazing tools and cross-specializations that can create novel endeavors for our time, and it is very exciting. What helps me is trying to imagine a world 20 years away and then thinking about the steps that can be taken to get there. Also, reading science fiction!

> how would the Homo sapiens and the cosmos progress and advance if more people understood Principia Mathmatica?

It's important to separate historical importance from importance to understanding by most people.

The presence of Whitehead & Russell's Principia Mathematica (PM) in history is a very important historical event. In at least one list, it's one of the most important books in the 20th century. PM shattered any argument that mathematics couldn't have rigorous foundations. PM instead showed that it was possible to start from relatively simple axioms and really prove all the way up to a higher level.

PM is NOT, however, important to read or understand itself in detail, as it's been superseded by later works. Syntactically, PM uses a dotted notation instead of parentheses that most people find hard to read & generally undesirable. From a deeper point-of-view, PM uses a set of axioms built on a hierarchy of types. This hierarchy of types was an early effort to avoid various paradoxes. Almost no one uses a hierarchy of types like this today; it's far more common to use Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice (ZFC). Even if you wanted to use a hierarchy of types, which is rare, you're probably more likely to use Quine's "New Foundations" which provides a much simpler foundation for mathematics.

It's not important to understand PM in detail, but knowing that it's possible has inspired many more recent efforts, and that is more important.

I argue in my video "Metamath Proof Explorer: A Modern Principia Mathematica" that the Metamath Proof Explorer (MPE) is a successor to PM. MPE uses modern notation (e.g., parentheses) and ZFC set theory combined with classical logic, so it uses modern conventions, but it also tries to prove "everything" from a very few axioms. Thankfully, we can now use computers to verify every last step (with multiple independent implementations), so we can have much more confidence in the proofs. Here's my video, I think you might like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WH4Rd4UKGE

That video focuses on MPE, but of course there are several efforts inspired by PM. Understanding the impact that PM had on mathematics is, to me, the important thing.

That's a classic example of a tangent (single point of contact, leading in a completely different direction), and flamewar tangents are most of all what we want to avoid here.

Hot generic topics are like black holes that suck in any unsuspecting spaceships that fly nearby. Our goal is to steer clear of those, because they lead to the most repetitive and inflamed sorts of discussion, drowning out anything that is quieter or more obscure, and ultimately, anything interesting.

I actually did check this out about a year ago. It started off beyond hilarious, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. The beginning is worth reading by any measure.

Then it started trying to heavily incorporate elements of the plot of Ender's Game and went a bit off the rails. The poor quality of writing combined with the tediously pointless plot tangents lost my interest. The idea it was getting at was fascinating - finding the source of magic - and I've been meaning to try reading it again by skimming past the Ender's Game nonsense and back to where the plot hopefully gets back on track.
Oh, I'm sure it's a problem; the reason I haven't been subjected to these problems is because I mostly deploy tools to an environment that has pre-existing build system and deployment solutions for this that I don't have to maintain.

> Based on the neighborhood I live in and my compensation, I am extremely privileged. I don’t have money concerns that my parents had. Most things that I might need, I can buy them without having to think too much or without putting a dent in my net worth.

> If I have to be a renter my whole damn life and can’t even afford a house, what is the god damn point?

People seem to have been taken in by the societal conditioning that you need to buy a house. Housing and shelter is a basic human need. Owning a house is not. As you yourself mentioned, you are extremely privileged and can afford most things you want without having to think twice. So why stress yourself out over piece of paper.

I too live in one of the highest-COL places in America. And I'm paying $3k/month in rent for a wonderful 4-bedroom townhouse in a great neighborhood. I've done the math, and I financially come out ahead by paying $3k/month in rent and investing the remainder in worldwide index funds - a strategy which made me a millionaire in my 30s. I spend an hour commuting into the city via public transit, but that's no problem. I include this time as part of my working hours, and specifically chose my home for its accessibility to public transit.

You mentioned that you're avoiding lifestyle creep. But your biggest lifestyle creep is your expectation of owning a family-sized home in a prime urban neighborhood. Let go of this societal brainwashing and you'll find yourself far happier.
no update since August 31, 2016 seems pretty dead, though I guess there is someone around to renew the domain name, etc.
I think this trend is because of two concrete factors:

Factor 1 - Very low interest rates allow people to borrow large sums.

Factor 2 - NIMBY-ism is in various degrees the de facto policy in most major cities, so very little new housing is built there.

Factor 1 might be ending as we speak, since the Fed is talking about changing policy.

Factor 2... I wish it will change, but don't have a ton of hope.
"Interest rates are low, so mortgage rates are low, so there is a crap-ton of money going after what is effectively a fixed resource."

This is a case in Europe, too, especially in the Eurozone, where interest rates are kept very low by the ECB to keep heavily indebted countries afloat.
Ask HN: How do you get rid of unused cloud resources
I heard many horror stories about people getting unexpected fat bills from cloud providers like AWS and GCP, I think removing unused resources could be a remedy for such situations and I'm wondering how people are doing that ?

Does anyone have a good understanding of how this narrative got started and took off? We've always had narratives outpacing facts (in hopes that the facts could be nudged into catching up), but I wonder to what extent social media plays a role in driving these stories now.
That’s why I always resist the desire to lookup (touch/ping/visit) names when changing ips or reissuing certificates by “get on any linux copy to your windows” method. Once it is cached, you’re doomed to go make some coffee. Only test-visit at the end — and your subnet instantly “updates” on it without delays.

OpenDoor (same busines model and space) laid off 35% in April 2020, I believe with better foresight that this is a very difficult space to be successful in.

The convenience offered isn't worth much except in the most ridiculous of markets, and that ridiculous market condition isn't sustainable. Ergo, these models aren't really sustainable at the scale they are trying to achieve.
I too like wikipedia current status a lot, and i like basic static content too.
They don't have an open development model. Controlling the test harness prevents a viable fork. That is their moat that ensures a revenue stream.
There are still reasonable homes in Texas. The real problem is that you would have to live in Texas.
I'm wondering how it will spread as well, I am already seeing bay area prices on houses in my area of socal where 1.5-2 years ago it was 30-40% cheaper. I think people in high paying positions are moving to nice areas that are not extremely crowded and close to nature. If this continues as it is(covid variants popping up and tech keeping offices closed), I could see the big companies finally allow remote full time, and then expect to see certain areas skyrocket in price. Think Boulder CO is expensive now, wait until it gets to Palo Alto levels of affordability. Or same with Bozeman, or Bend etc...

That's actually really interesting how subjective reading experiences can be. It's amazing that we basically had opposite reactions to these books. I wonder what is the best approach to sharing subjective reviews? It would be nice to give reviews in a way that helps others make a better choice.
On another note given that Wikipedia's content is in the open, maybe this new UI could be hosted at another domain e.g. pickypedia.org or itchypedia.org or something else funny instead of being a Chrome plugin.

Chrome plugins add more unwelcome startup bloat to the web browser, and while they are super useful to fix the UI issues of commercial, copyrighted websites, Wikipedia can totally legally be replicated at another domain.
Just a few days ago I saw stories coming out of Bloomberg insisting that Arkansas is the next Austin:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-12-04/arkans...

And of course there’s plenty of cities that were reasonable a couple years ago but are creeping up: Boise residents complain constantly about all the transplants, and I expect Raleigh to look a lot like Austin in 10-15 years (to give a couple examples).
We could never be absolutely sure, due to the true Heisenbug nature of the behavior, but after tons of code audits and the observation after reverse proxy traffic analysis that it only occurred on processing by the non-ECC hosts, and never on the ECC hosts, that it was the most likely culprit.

The fact that the errors were single bit errors also strongly pointed in that direction.

Not for me. I have been a part of two layoffs - the first one in 2010 - and witnessed multiple more since then. It's always been an "all hands" conference by the CEO to let everyone know then afterwards followed by a 1:1 to tell you about severance options (if any), Cobra, etc. Not the other way around.
Although not having an easy path for security researchers to report vulnerabilities is not exactly great, what is commendable here is the speed at which these were addressed.

No donations should result in no expectations, but unfortunately all sorts of people will have all sorts of expectations from you when you release an open-source project, donations or not.
Smartphones are basically computers in our skulls, a radical shift in human existence from not looking at computers for most people to being tied to one for hours a day. You can pretend the world isn't rapidly changing but that's just a bias to living in the present. Of course we haven't invented fantastical physics defying devices yet but the technological difference between now and 1970 is just as start as the one between 1910 and 1960, just in different ways.
Presumably you're paying a monthly fee for your ISP, one which includes an IP of some sort. It doesn't cost anything for an ISP to give you a static address (which likely can be removed at their whim) rather than a dynamic address given you're likely to be needing an IP 24/7 (as you're the sort of person who knows what an IP address is)

If it costs $50 for a single IP, that would be 50 cents a month at a decent return on investment (and the value of that IP is still increasing), that is part of your monthly charge (which I suspect is far more than 50c).

Additionally, if you changed ISP you're going to lose that "investment" in your static IP, so you've basically paid $10 to lock yourself in.
Yeah, my personal experience spending every day of my life in the industry.
Compose Multiplatform for iOS
Previously Compose for iOS not available. As we know Compose multiplatform is powered by Skiko
https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko (a Kotlin MPP binding for Skia). Skiko Does not contain build for iOS. Now Skiko contains build for iOS, MAC arm processor via Kotlin/Native. So we can use Skiko for pure canvas rendering in all platform. It is matter of time they release compose for iOS. So UI also goes multiplatform.

My career is in the types of companies typically only found in London. None of them hire remote workers, even now. My partners career requires her to work on-site in London. My family are in the South East.

Besides all that, home ownership is really becoming a huge class and generational divide and house prices are rising faster outside London than within. It's only a matter of time before people in areas like you describe are priced out too.
Gleam v0.18 Released (gleam language on the erlang vm)
I’ll start off by saying that I work 60 hours a week, at least. My stress and anxiety levels are manageable now, but only because I found ways of managing them. They’re not reasonable though and most importantly, they’re not sustainable.

I'm in this boat. I told my manager, talked about my pay & how it doesn't match my responsibilities. I talked about how I'm OK with a little crunch, but crunch 52 weeks a year is not crunch, it's just taking advantage. He said he's aware of the situation and that everyone's in the same boat, as if that justifies it somehow. He said wait to ask for higher pay. I feel like I'm being jerked around. I hear this from you & I hear the same from some of my other friends in my field, too, so I doubt the grass is greener anywhere else, and leaving won't have much effect.

I liked my job in the past. I think I would like it again if my workload was more reasonable. The best I can do is just constantly try to set expectations that, no, I won't be putting in any more additional extra effort.

In general, The training of engineers profoundly lacks in instilling skepticism. Whatever snark / cynicism is popular in places like this has nothing to do with our formal training (for those of us that were formal trained).

This example is rightly absurd because if someone told me "don't worry about that code that will segfault, it's never actually called", I would naturally say "WTF this is unacceptable complacency". And yet the argument in both situations is damn near identical!

I think this no good at all, and when the humanities people bring up STEM credulousness, I am quite sympathetic.
There's no way I'd have been able to get the house without the crypto and it was mined, not purchased. So what I'm saying is yes I could have afforded an apartment but never a house and those are two totally different levels of wealth in a place like LA.
As a quick aside, both the air quality things I bought say not to rely on instantaneous readings but instead to use the aggregator average reading. One has the ability to show averages and the other is more like "if the value is consistently higher than normal it's probably correctly 'high'" - so unless there's some weirdness in the Ikea one it shouldn't be switching colors unless you are very close to the threshold.

It is possible that your air filter shakes or vibrates enough that it's kicking dust up, or you have poor indoor air quality. How often do you have to replace filters and how dirty are they? For reference I live in a forest, with pollen and dirt dust and people and pet dust, poor seals on windows, and open doors/screens, as well as high humidity year round; I buy the 3M 1000-1500 filters which are pretty beefy, and they last about two months before becoming uniformly dark grey on front and back. Ideally I'd replace them monthly but they're about $15 each and that adds up across three filters.

I ask because I don't think my system does anything for VOC, I don't use carbon filters for the three, so I'm mostly filtering dust, pollen, clay, etc.

I think we define "abused" somewhat differently.

I consider things like "A Roku TV performing content analysis on inputs from external jacks, so it can report up what DVD I'm watching," to be data abuse. Same goes for them scanning my network (which their privacy policy grants them permission to do). It's something that isn't useful to me, with the product I paid for (actually, I don't own a Roku, their privacy policy is "We do what we want, sucker!"), but is "sneaking around behind me" to do something non-obvious.

It doesn't have to be international intrigue for me to be upset with what some bit of consumer electronics is doing with my data.
