I don't see how you can sue Facebook for genocide. Can we sue the NYT for the Iraq war?
Yeah, I've been in a similar situation. One ugly side about being a developer I find is that if I stay away from the practice of coding for even like 3 or 4 months I feel rusty or I feel like you've missed out on a lot. I remember when I took off 4 months and then started doubting my moves.

The time I took off was restful, for sure, but the insecurity I felt was extreme. It took me another 3 months to get my groove back and just feel like, "no, you know what? I'm a decent programmer and I have earned the right to be here with the other devs. I'll catch up in my knowledge gap."

I always wondered how female programmers who go on mat leave cope with stepping away from it all for like a year.
I see, so you felt regret for buying a computer you didn’t need and claimed it was because of CSAM but that was actually a lie.

Now you are promoting the ODroid N2+ which is completely irrelevant to this thread.
I certainly think this is a subjective, “no one right answer” discussion topic.

From my perspective, we require abstractions in order to free our intellectual capacity up for the next layer of complexity.
Gas infrastructure used to deal with coal gas which contained ~50% of hydrogen. Somehow it worked back then. Doesn't seem like an unsolvable problem to me.
I've personally noticed an ever increasing responsiveness throughout Emacs since switching to the native compilation versions in the early pandemic. I have an Ethernet connection with a 2ms ping for my typical remote Emacs sessions and I feel the difference when I occasionally have to work from faraway locations or through fluctuating WiFi networks that add another 30ms on top. Some colleagues use mosh as their terminal to improve the experience in the presence of lag.

One of the great strengths of America is that there are thousands of different municipalities, police departments, and justice systems.

A given city can try out a new policy. It works, or even if it doesn't cause a breakdown in society, then it can spread, and all cities benefit. But if works badly, then that city takes the hit, and hopefully everyone else benefits by avoiding that. (The real world is of course messier than that simple model.)

It's hard to parse the actual policy change from only mayor's remarks that are quoted in the article. It sounds like it's not heading to law and order policing, but rather trying to hybrid of increased surveillance and faster response times to some kinds of problems. I'm not sure it will work, but either if works or does not, another datapoint will have been explored.
Man, i really hope one of these fancy UI editors fully embraces different editing... modalities (pun?).. aka Vim-like, Kakoune-like, Emacs-like.

That’s Electron for you. A perfect encapsulation of what “modern age” appears to mean now.
The oppressed minority are not Arab citizens of Israel, they are the citizens of the Palestinian territories, whose property (and sometimes even lives) are considered expandable by Israeli authorities, who routinely destroy or seize these.

Israel is very obviously leading a campaign to eradicate the Palestinian population and take their land without taking the people.

They are violating all two-state solution guarantees through their obviously illegal settlements. And they do not want to simply occupy the Palestinian territories and go for a single-state solution, because that would leave Palestinian Arabs a majority (or at least extremely large minority) of the population, which contradicts the dream of an Isareli state controlled by God's chosen people.

All of your examples of how the minority Arab citizenry of Israel is treated well are entriely irrelevant, and if you know anything about the history of calling Israel an apartheid state, by people like Noam Chomsky, you would definitely know this, so I can only assume you are arguing in bad faith.

I had a very similar path to you. I felt like I had been responsible and made it all the way through college. Then I had $75k in debt and I was going into $8/hour interviews with 40-60 other applicants.

One time I stopped at kinkos to print out some portfolio designs for an interview, and the cost was 6 dollars. I had to leave because I only had 3 dollars.

Things are much, much better now that I transitioned into tech. I kinda did it for money but I'm lucky because I do genuinely love it - I wish I had started it sooner in life.

I'm curious - where did you end up? If you're on here, I assume you're in a STEM field of some sort?

People have a belief that they can just tough out COVID, and so the vaccine is a long-term-risk tradeoff: suffer unknown side-effects of the vaccine, or maybe die of this disease that my friend had and recovered from?

This immunotherapy is cotemporal with "traditional" immunological and chemo treatments, so the mortality calculus is different: "Suffer potential unknown side-effects of an mRNA therapy or content myself with that 'three months' number the doctor gave me?"
We are the advanced civilization that has built those hot baths. Being an advanced civilization, it's safe to assume that no single person knows all the knowledge necessary to build another hot bath, because it has long surpassed how much one person can learn in a lifetime.

But somehow there are multiple organizations that "know" how to build another hot bath, and newer and bigger baths are continuously being built all across the Empire.

And occasionally one of them stops working and thousands of citizens are angry, because they feel, being honest citizens of the Empire, they are entitled to enjoy these hot baths. Sometimes their very livelihood depends on the baths running.

Then the bath is fixed, and all is well again.
If Norm had known he was going to die at 61 and that, according to your policy, nothing he ever created would be allowed to make money for his estate/his son's well-being after he died, do you think he would have behaved the same way during his life?

Separate question, do you think it's OK to change the rules after someone dies and take away money they thought their estate/son/beneficiaries were going to get based on the rules at the time?

Of course vaccine deaths are tracked, I didn't deny that (FYI it's a very difficult thing to make perfect correlation between a vaccine and death, esp. with so many overlapping conditions).

The media has hugely downplayed the issue. Of course they have to do perfunctory reports on public information if it does happen, but it's not something they talk about otherwise.

Dr. Fauci doesn't come on TV and talk about the materiality of vaccine related death.

CNN is not doing their emotive vignettes on the 'Family destroyed by death due to vaccine' and interviews with sobbing family members.

There's obviously no narrative around that, in fact, the narrative is in the opposite direction, i.e. 'Blood Clots Can Happen but the Vaccine Is Still Safe'.

While there is some information about the AZ vaccine, there's scant info about the others, after doing a perfunctory search all I could find were 'The study showed a total of possible 3 deaths from the vaccine during such and such period' without any qualifying data.

The data is obviously being collected but it's not being fully shared and definitely not being communicated other than in a perfunctory way.
I actually think that self-doubt is a sign that you're growing as a developer. If you had asked me how hard it would have been to write an OS kernel ten years ago, I probably would have said something like "Oh yeah, that's pretty hard, it would probably take me like four months to make Linux."

If you asked me to reinvent the Linux kernel now, I would probably first say "I don't know anything about that, I'm not your guy", and if you were really insistent I'd give a huge number, like 10-15 years, with several disclaimers of "seriously, I don't know what I'm doing here, I'm pulling these numbers out of my ass".

Did I become a worse engineer in the last decade? No, I was just inexperienced ten years ago, and as a result I wasn't really able to differentiate "easy" and "hard" problems, and since I was a goofball (with too big of an ego at the time) I just assumed most projects were easy. Nowadays I have a much better handle on what I know and what I don't know, and as a result I find myself in doubt about things all the time. It's easy to get into a spiral of "I don't know to do this and omg I'm going to fuck it all up."
Gives me hope since its some of the people that made Atom and Electron and the motivation seems good

> Network lag in a collaborative editing environment definitely is perceptible in practice. Though in theory you can't be 100% sure that the other person isn't just pausing randomly in the middle of typing a word, the statistical signature of lagged typing is quite distinctly perceptible.

If we imagine all possible network conditions, this is definitely true for some of them. But if you have a good network, I don't think you're going to be able to tell. Consider that you can even do something like Stadia which does round-trip input lag to render a full-frame of a video game, and it often works pretty darn well. Something like the one-way lag between when another person starts typing (an event you can't know the start of) and when it arrives on your display just isn't going to be noticeable if you're both on at all reasonable network connections, imo.

> The issues with Emacs, as you note, have to do with the low performance of various language modes rather than the rendering architecture of the editor. (Though I guess maybe there is some missed opportunity for parallelism imposed by Emacs's architecture?)

Yes and yes. (Also, it's a contributor to the bugginess of emacs -- dynamically typed and (often) dynamically scoped(!) lisp code is not conducive correctness. It does, however, lend itself amazingly well to extensibility/flexibility.)

So but anyway, plain emacs w/ no language modes is indeed fast and fairly bug free, but...what's the point?

The goal is to be able to have a full-featured editor that remains fast and bug-free. :-)
I saw horizontal scrolling and got nervous, but then I realized they were just hiding a "scroll to top" button over there.

Delightful!
I've been thinking about how in much of software engineering there is no "right" way to do anything. The only "wrong" decisions are those made without adequately considering all the tradeoffs or made without much thought at all. I would say your role as CTO is not to know everything and make unambiguously "correct" decisions all the time. It's to make sure the right questions are being asked and considered when technical decisions are made.
I had a CTO in your same situation. His remedy was to schedule more meetings.

Sure the more therapeutics use modern platforms, the better it is for humanity, I just wish these articles were written more similar to how a human would want me to understand the differences between approaches instead of trying to make a PR article.

It's a bug deal that they found out about the importance of the NKG7 gene, but the whole article doesn't have a reference to it.

Moderna's personal vaccine is different, as it sequences the cancer itself as far as I know.
I tend to think the abstinence rate would be much lower than with the vaccine.

Cancer scares people in a way that COVID doesn't.

Many of the anti-vaxxers do not perceive COVID as a credible risk, so they let their contrarian/anti-authoritarian/"don't tell me what to do" instincts kick in, because none of it actually matters to them in their mind.

When faced with a form of cancer that has a <10% survival rate they will shut up and take the mRNA treatment in a heartbeat.
By counting the number of returned items and service calls: that's way cheaper than upfront checking and in the short run will suffice. That's MBA logic for you.
We're on the internet, if this is such a simple thing to certify by asking a lawyer or a game warden then it should be reasonably easy to provide an authoritative link.

The closest I can find is this https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/california-case-law/scotu...

To Quote: "The California Supreme Court ruled that a game warden who reasonably believes that a person has recently been fishing or hunting, but lacks reasonable suspicion that the person has violated an applicable fish or game statute or regulation, may stop the suspect's vehicle to demand the person display all fish or game the person has caught or taken."

This is obviously more power in some ways than a police officer has , but in some ways also very limited. If you can provide something more authoritative, extensive and to the point than that I think you should.

Inventing the printing press was more difficult than it seems at first. In addition to the idea of unsing movable type significant development of the correct alloys for the types was necessary.

In addition the proper ink needs to be developed...

Most people spend a lot of time on the computer. I can't imagine working around a half screen of data and halfscreen of a keyboard.

I can definitely see policy to tase or otherwise subdue with less than lethal means being OK'ed by authorities and judiciaries. In principle you'd hope this was rigorously established beforehand on per case basis but that historically has not been held to standard long if they end up doing it with any frequency.

This is getting into the security question of what your threat model is. If you're seriously expecting a nation-state intelligence agency to be after your laptop, I'd really, really recommend not having anything on your laptop because unless you've got your own security team they're going to find some way to get it and will observe you to see if you're using something like a killswitch first.

Crime is clearly only part of the problem.

San Francisco is becoming a deeply unpleasant place to visit across the board. Large parts of the city stink of human refuse. The downtown core is a corporate wasteland. The other half of the city is a NIMBY wasteland. The public transit is embarrassing. Everyone is grumpy and pretentious. You don't feel safe walking across town alone.

It's a city that seems to hate itself. It is constantly offering you a protective bubble - private cars, bars on rooftops, an apartment with a doorman.

It seems the only people who earnestly enjoy SF are those who can afford to maintain their own world somewhere in it.

The total death count in my state for kids (under 20) is 4, which is simultaneously 4 too many, yet also any effort applied to vax kids is kind of a waste as long as old/sick/fat people are dropping like flies and filling the hospitals. Like the effort to save one of the four kids in my state by vax or whatever could, in theory, have saved about 2000 elderly people.

If you have a dual monitor system, its instructive to bring up a site like covid19.healthdata.org and put a state like Massachusetts on one monitor and perhaps Ohio on the other monitor.

In MA the vax rate is a 88% for one dose, and ICU beds needed has gone from 146 a month ago to 257 today a monthly growth rate of a a staggering 76%. If the number of ICU beds required in MA continues to double every month (very unlikely) then the entire population of MA will be in a ICU bed in merely 14 months.

In OH the vax rate is 61% for one dose, and ICU beds needed has gone from 716 a month ago to 891 today a monthly growth rate of 24%.

About a third of people in MA wear a mask as opposed to a quarter in OH, so we're told the growth rate is artificially smaller in MA than OH because they wear masks, so the situation is actually much worse.

As a simple linear regression, (76 - 24) / (88 - 66) shows a predictive model that for every one percent increase in vaccinations, there will be about 2.3 % GROWTH rate in ICU use. Not decline, but growth.

So as a predictive model, if 5% of the population of Ohio were convinced to get the vax, then the model predicts the ICU beds required in Ohio would be (2.3 * 5) which is an increase in the increase of ICU requirements of 11.5%.

> Maybe an extended vacation is really what I need to do.

100% adding a +1 here that this sounds like the right thing to do to start.

> it still just eats at me though

To me, this stands out. I think it's important to answer the "why" here at some point, whether that be before/during/after an extended break. Some potential things to investigate:

- Maybe the company is respectful, but the environment is still too critical / focused on bettering code constantly rather than focusing on product.

- Maybe there's too much focus on code quality over product generally, to the point that it's not helpful.

- Maybe it's not actually as respectful and understanding as you originally thought.

- Maybe the way it's delivered works for others but you need a different format and can communicate that need to others.

- Maybe the feedback coming from people below you (reading into "on a podium") is different than from peers and you're internalizing it.

Whatever it is, I hope a break helps you reset and gives you space to figure it out!

I agree it seems like a strangely ho hum realization. And I’m definitely not attacking the project, I just signed up for the waitlist.

Just wanted to add that it’s an especially odd framing, given that this appears to be Atom’s successor, and VSCode—the editor which many Atom users adopted—is both Electron and heavily reliant on GPU rendering.
