I've seen people tackling this issue and having all sorts of columns in their spreadsheets like: "Signing bonus", "Vacations", "Salary", etc, etc...
When I had this problem, I just used a note taking app to just write some things about the company, and tracked all the interviews...my approach sucked and I was always confused about what the status of my interview process was and had a hard time remembering who I was interviewing with when I was entering interview meetings... I have a lot of interest in productivity and organization but I'm the worst at implementing these things in my life.
People choose to do that because it’s convenient. There’s nothing in any of the nebulous ideas around “web3” that would change that.

You can use a federated social network RIGHT NOW. Or you can just make your own website TODAY. No permission needed, you get complete ownership. It’s the amazing decentralised dream that was (and is) the internet. Only thing it won’t do is potentially make you rich (at the expense of others) just for getting in (and out!) at the right time.
When you put them in your ear they will connect to whatever has audio playing at the moment. It works as long as only one of the paired devices is in use at the same time.

The automatic switching is annoying when you use multiple devices simultaneously. Eg. when the kids are watching something on the iPad, and I put in my AirPods because I want to listen to some music on my phone, suddenly I hear audio from the iPad and my kids complain that the audio is gone.

(I've gone back to using wired headphones at home for this reason)
To be fair, this is the level of customer service that you get from Google in the first place. Banks are forced to do better.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.
A disinterested third party (save for the financial transaction and hopefully a sense of helping), whose training prepares them to handle all the trauma they hear about, can be just the thing to crawl out of a pit. Not everyone has friends or family who can or want to handle baggage (ideally they would be so healthy, and it’s okay if they aren’t). It may take time to find a professional counselor who fits, and a reticent person might need a catalyst (books and The Blindboy Podcast in my case) to find a counselor to be vulnerable with.

Strongly agree with this list. Only thing is I'd swap out Lisp for Awk/Snobol4/Perl (given the last bullet on text). Text manipulation will be timeless. Even in the "modern world" of PowerBI tools I spend least time possible learning manipulation with DAX/M... I just don't see them lasting the way *nix tools have (and will continue to last).
There is only one hard problem in computer science: people.
No comments, just downvotes. The ECB Penguin is an example of information - patterns - leaking out of encrypted data. This is a cryptographic failure mode and the solution is a better algorithm.

https://blog.filippo.io/the-ecb-penguin/

Low entropy means predictability in the input versus the output. Properly encrypted data has high entropy, which is why you can’t compress it after encryption. Random number generators need to be high entropy, which is where the idea of CSPRNGs comes from.
I think it's 90% the other way around. Clearly people that are slightly (or very) autistic will gravitate towards computer work, since computers are like a wet dream for autistics.
Legitimate companies are unlikely to rely on decentralized identity unless required to by law. Apple/Google federated login? Absolutely, they have the power to dictate it (Sign In With Apple). Login.gov and ID.me? Absolutely, they’re trusted government and private sector identity proofing providers. But trusting the identity of your users to a distributed ledger or computation fabric? I just don’t see it happening, and it’ll likely go the way for Mozilla’s federated identity provider.

You are seeking a technical fix for a regulatory issue (data sovereignty and portability & digital privacy).

Are you sure those people were extroverts? I am most definitely not an extrovert, but I'm fine with "smalltalk, jokes and general BS" when I have to be. i.e., if I'm trying to be sociable, or to meet someone, or just not be a party pooper. It's not my normal state, it's just me trying to not be an asshole.
I'm a bit confused by why this is in the "crypto" space. I thought the whole point of the "crypto" space was to prevent double spend. If you don't need to do that then a distributed/federated database seems sufficient. Are you planning to allow users to give/sell their accounts to others? If not then why are you using a "crypto" platform?
When my kids were starting school, I looked it up, just to get an idea of what was being taught these days. Each state had its own web page with the standards laid out in outline fashion. Common Core looked very much like what I had learned in school myself.

I think Common Core just gave people an easy focal point of attack, like publishing the salaries of teachers.
On the other hand, a company providing the service can ban users for spreading harmful information. Imagine a situation where, say, the president of the US was spreading misinformation regarding a pandemic for example. To me it sounds good that there is some control to it.
Don't fuss about your "social life" directly. Find a romantic partner, probably using dating apps, and then build your social life on top of your shared life with your partner.
I think that’s only possible if they ban TCP/IP for play store apps, enforce that in the OS kernel (SELinux can probably do), and instead expose the one and only high-level HTTP API for apps.
Depends on what type of tech work you're talking about. At small web shops you'll meet average joes, at average faang type jobs you'll meet social climbers and test takers, at certain startups (cough crypto) you meet financey frat boy types, however in highly technical roles you might run into more autistic genius types than otherwise.
You need to use your experience to learn and grow.

You can build a marketplace without crypto, though. The question is why crypto is an important enabling feature. E.g. would Axie Infinity be as successful if it simply let you buy/sell assets directly? (Putting aside any of the surrounding discussion of pyramid schemes; I'm not really interested in Axie in particular, more how the concept is supposed to work)
Go is also known for treating developers like cattle, so, I'll take Rust's trade-off, thanks.
> feathers ruffled with cloud computing? It just servers in a data center! Serverless? There are still servers!

Unlike the crypto ecosystem, those offered a tradeoff of higher cost and less control for greater convenience and ease of management. Which was hugely successful.

They're also not ... hegemonizing? in the way that cryptocurrency seems to be advocated.
What I remember is different. People bought a PC to play games. And they connected to internet to download porn.
Is this like Van Halen's Brown M&Ms thing?

What about money laundering? And does it not make the time-honored profession of ransoming so much more ... frictionless?

I am so tired of hearing these sour-grape protestations that crypto does not solve real problems that real people have.

> If so, which approaches or resources were helpful to you?

For me the issue was one of being too selective and fearful. I would analyze people the way people analyze resumes, trying to read between the lines for facts that in reality are not in evidence. So, because I was afraid of rejection, this led to a bit of a spiral, where caution led to expecting the worst, and then noticing every fault.

I had moved out on my own, and was really lonely, working as a lab device repair engineer (I had spend four years prior writing software for 80s era diagnostic devices) in a town where I knew no one. One day I decided to try something completely new: I'd just accept the people in my life as "my team", be nice to them and try to be helpful, and see what happened. So instead of worrying about if the person was good or bad, I started figuring out what the people that were around me liked and disliked so I could be nice. I also decided that my default answer for social interaction would always be yes. So where I'd find an excuse not to go to lunch with coworkers, I'd say yes. Little stuff like getting a coffee for a coworker when I went to get mine. Saying good morning, and asking "are you having a good day?" to the ever-changing lady at the front desk. It didn't matter what she said, I'd just listen and say something sympathetic. At the end of the day, I'd tell the people that sat near me in the office that I was leaving.

It took all of three days for people that I only interacted professionally with to really warm up. People asked if I wanted to grab lunch. At the end of the day I got invited to grab a beer, go work out, or go to a sports event. I said yes every time - even if it was something I had zero personal interest in. I would go, and soak up the experience, listening to them talk about themselves, their problems, and when they asked me about me, I'd answer honestly.

So in short, stop judging, accept the people already in your life, say yes, go to lunch with people, go to social events, be honest, and most importantly be a good listener.
Most people don't care about audio quality that much I bet.
Audiophiles are a minority.
Original forum thread suggesting the first release was in Nov 2006: http://web.archive.org/web/20120419172714/https://mollyrocke...
I feel like the real improvement in aptx is not the audio quality, but the latency for keeping audio and video in sync when watching tv (or computers for that matter). I used to work in the bluetooth chip industry and there really were very few players who were competitive in the audio headset business. I don't have any real insight into the players these days, but I would be very surprised if there were more than 4 chip makers who were competitive in that space. CSR was the dominant player for audio, so it's not surprising that Qualcomm who bought CSR offers this proprietary solution. So I think it's going to be really hard for someone to make an open codec solution that competes in terms of size, battery life, cost with an IC that's targeted to the market.
Ever since I came across this concept of focusing on habits/systems instead of goals, I've been confused. Surely we need both?

I believe his assumption was that bitcoin would become less volatile when the value appreciated and that hasn't happened.
For me - Therapy. I know it isn't for everyone, but I was so miserable in one of my jobs that even after I quit, I was just a mess. I didn't need an extended therapy treatment, but I did spend a few sessions with a professional therapist, where we sorted out what was keeping me down, how to respond, and how to avoid getting pulled back into the same patterns.

I think being extrovert is really being able to basically have all your internal communications happening on the outside. I.e., people who can (and will) think out loud all the time, no matter what.

From that pov, I think most of us are not introvert or extrovert but in between, e.g. "normal".
If you are talking about "Here is an example of a complete workload that measures performance of selecting rows by random keys", then you are looking at Rune code rather than Rust code.

I've never seen hippies buy into the part of Chinese medicine that uses weird alchemy - I see your argument as a huge straw man to set up your pro nuclear point.

You had me in the first half. I think the better completion of this analogy would be:

You ordered some medication, and the delivery guy drops it in your atrium. You open the package and find that it includes your neighbor's medication, too. You tell the delivery guy that he sent your neighbor's medication. The delivery guy calls the police and requests you be arrested.

regarding "free market maximalists who think humanity's survival and progress hinges on a few Great Men rather than the unsophisticated masses" -

Libertarianism may have changed in character, or perhaps more in how it is characterized in media, but it used to be that libertarians believed in lots of little people acting freely and that states and the large corporations they are mutually supported by are the opposite of what they want.

Hopefully it is because the little people have largely left the relatively pointless large media spaces online and does not represent a genuine change in how the majority of libertarians, who used to not be terribly wealthy if they were wealthy at all, think.
I know they’re getting heavier all the time, but an empty car used to weigh 2500 lbs and four adults are a 30% of that. More if you’ve got shopping in the trunk as well. Of course the adults are getting heavier too…

> Using modern OpenGL to introduce all the standard concepts ... is much better than trying to teach them Vulkan ... and obviously better than teaching OpenGL API's that are decades old.

I disagree on teaching old APIs. This is a pet peeve of mine, and I thought the author of a software rasterizer would agree with me.

GPU APIs are some of the only APIs where you have to pay to upgrade. Sure, Vulkan has been "out" for 4 years. But I haven't bought any hardware that supports Vulkan. My last purchase was a used laptop with an iGPU. I buy hardware as a last resort when I absolutely need it, I especially don't buy hardware for the APIs when my old hardware has enough GFLOPS.

I like that programming is a cheap hobby. I don't see the point in anteing up every few years. Per-core CPU power has plateaued, and I can add more storage to old systems easily. I just don't want to buy new hardware until I see the GPU space settle down for a few years. And when will that happen? Vulkan 2? Vulkan 3?

How many more perfectly functional TFLOPS of GPU chips will be branded e-waste before the APIs are stable? I don't like the implication among some gamedevs that your programming skill depends on how much tribute you've paid to NVidia. I don't make bad games because I use GLES 2, I make bad games because I'm a bad gamedev.

GLES 2 is a sweet spot in the tradeoff between compatibility and features. It dates to about 2007, so even a kid with a cheap used Android phone could theoretically write GLES 2 code for it. It doesn't have geometry shaders, but with vertex and fragment shaders you can still learn things like environment mapping, gamma-correct per-pixel lighting, hardware skinning, post-processing effects, etc.

It just works, almost everywhere, and I don't see the point in writing off old hardware as trash before the end of its natural life.
Yeah, a quality torque wrench isn't cheap (particularly the kind you find in fixed installations like auto repair shops and factories) but there's got to be some crossover when you are buying enough bolts that you're better spending money on tools that are more idiot proof.

> I half empathize. I'd empathize more if (as the author notes) you couldn't just use MinGW for ports, which has the benefit that you can just use GCC the whole way down and not deal with VC++ differences

MinGW GCC doesn't make a difference to the article. It uses the same C runtime library as VC++ and has the same problems with defaulting to ANSI codepages and text-mode streams. In fact, as far as I know, there is no native open-source alternative to the VC++ runtime that isn't a full alternative programming environment like Cygwin.

This is what I don't really get about NFTs. Just because you own a token pointing to a particular object, doesn't mean you actually own that object unless someone in the real world enforces that link. And if someone in the real world has to enforce that link, what is the point of the NFT? The ownership is still being enforced by a single organization or individual. You might as well have that organization or individual track ownership themselves if they are also supposed to enforce it.

In this case it seems like the open seas marketplace is trying to become this organization that enforces the link. Which really defeats the point of a decentralized system.

Our top computer vision learnings from 2021
As someone who knows a lot of big law attorneys, I think the author's example of lawyers is mis-informed, perhaps in an interesting way.

The reason first-year attorneys are unhappy is because their jobs are difficult, insecure, and yet necessary to paying off their often large law school student debts. There's also an expectation of immediate availability and, depending on the firm, there can be a culture of viciously attacking juniors for any oversights (nominally to train lawyers not to make them, though it's open season for generally sadistic people).

First years typically start with about a quarter million in law school debt into a job where taking more that 30 minutes to respond to an email is unacceptable. That's why they're stressed.
I guess we have to differentiate between people working in tech and the actual nerds. As tech pays well we get more and more people working here for the money and not out of passion. I would say the ones that go hiking, mountain biking or climbing after hours and tend not to touch a computer much outside of work are not the stereotype that is addressed here. They are "normal" (although I don't like that definition of normal) people working in tech.

Then there is the stereotype that spent most of their free time on their computers out of passion and that's what made them end up in tech. That's the same stereotype that has a harder time forming social bonds for the simple reason that they tend to stay home to follow their passion rather than engage in social activities.

Fair enough - I think there were a lot of teething issues with the recent amd laptops due to lack of kernel support and some bugs in the s3 bios implementation. I probably would have been similarly frustrated if I bought 9 months ago.

Fortunately the bios bugs are fixed and the latest kernel (5.15.11) supports s3 pretty flawlessly so far, although I was using traditional suspend before that without issue. I haven’t had any other issues and has been stable over the last month of usage. Temps and performance are great and around 9-10 hrs battery life. So I think it's worth buying now.
