LG 27GN950 seems like it hits a a lot of the criteria others are discussing. It is not 220 PPI though.

4K IPS at 144Hz (or 120Hz depending on video card)

It also rotates to portrait mode, has a built in backlight for eyestrain, is essentially borderless- and it's $800-900.

Have had it over a year with no issues.
I have 2x LG Ultrafine 5Ks as well.

I found the USB-C connector wears down over time and causes display and power issues. I've reflowed the connector itself, and am looking at doing a complete connector swap soon. The mechanicals of an active USB-C cable puts stress on the joints and causes them to crack and create unreliable connections. I wish there was a way to lock the connector in and use something else as strain relief.
the fact that this is necessary shows you what an abject failure the current state of NFTs is.

When this pandemic started, a 35-year-old family friend of mine got infected with COVID19, infected his father, and then both died. Then we couldn't attend their funeral because the devastated family was worried they would spread COVID19 to everyone else during the funeral.

You can't live like normal in these social circumstances.

From reading the report I think this is addressed p36 that might be because the vaccinated and unvaccinated population are different in other ways :

> 1Comparing case rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations should not be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness
against COVID-19 infection. Vaccine effectiveness has been formally estimated from a number of different sources and is
summarised on pages 5 to 11 in this report.
The case rates in the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations are unadjusted crude rates that do not take into account underlying
statistical biases in the data and there are likely to be systematic differences between these 2 population groups. For example:
• people who are fully vaccinated may be more health conscious and therefore more likely to get tested for COVID-19 and
so more likely to be identified as a case (based on the data provided by the NHS Test and Trace)
• many of those who were at the head of the queue for vaccination are those at higher risk from COVID-19 due to their age,
their occupation, their family circumstances or because of underlying health issues
• people who are fully vaccinated and people who are unvaccinated may behave differently, particularly with regard to
social interactions and therefore may have differing levels of exposure to COVID-19
• people who have never been vaccinated are more likely to have caught COVID-19 in the weeks or months before the
period of the cases covered in the report. This gives them some natural immunity to the virus for a few months which may
have contributed to a lower case rate in the past few weeks
I like how this tracker doesn't talk much about India or China at all (even though there were 2.3m deaths due to COVID there according to the Economist).

Interestingly, they do talk about Japan, South Korea, etc.
> Ridiculous Option: Apple Pro Display XDR

I'll admit, a monitor that costs more than my first car is beyond affordable for 99% of the population.

But saying that, many of the people reading this are pulling truly exotic salaries right now. After devoting untold hours to reaching the top of their profession.

Let's say you're a professional earning $300k plus in software.

You're often working 100% remote, using your monitor 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, just for work. Plus untold hours of HackerNews (strictly after 5pm of course).

I just find that's truly not an unlikely situation to be in.

Without reference to the technical merits of the Apple Display, I don't think dropping $5000 on a monitor is outlandish for any professional in the situation I've described.

My hairdresser for example has a $4000 pair of scissors. He uses the damn things every day, and he sharpens them twice a day.

Whilst it's not essential, taking pride and investing in the tools of your trade is not a thing to frown upon.
OP here. I am an atheist with zero spiritual beliefs in the sense you are talking about. When I say "spiritual" I mean "dopamine-inducing", full stop. There is some cool stuff in math, science and in our crude attempts at morality that can be seen as "deep"/"spiritual" in its poetic purity, but this can be appreciated completely devoid of any belief in any kind of higher power. That is what I'm referring to.
Yes, but they don't show any data.
Suppose that without supernatural beings, life has no meaning or value (taking that to be "existential nihilism").

If it is revealed to such a world that there are in fact supernatural beings, how does that create meaning and value?

And how do those supernatural beings derive meaning and value; don't they need another level of meta-supernatural beings?

I want everyone to have meaning; I don't want there to be supernatural beings which are kind of slaves to provide me with meaning by their existence, but are themselves starved of meaning since they have nothing more supernatural than themselves to believe in.

One useful definition of meaning is the evolution of possibilities. A situation of no meaning is one which is a dead end in terms of possibilities.

If the universe dies in a heat death, then at that point there are no future possibilities distinct from the current state, and so there is no more meaning.

There might be no permanent meaning; no value that will endure forever, but people can be content with the temporary meaning, in which they enjoy new experiences and explore new possibilities in any endeavor.

Human lives end come to an end on a time scale vastly shorter than the death of the universe, yet people are able to find meaning.
I don't think the pastors admission is as bad as it sounds at first blush. A religious man is likely to believe that the best "food" is the knowledge of God. That is, if the spirit is fed, and the mind looks to higher things, then order is restored in the organism. That being will begin to act rightly somewhat more often. It will use the food packets to add to an ordered life, and eventually become a source of food packets or other good things.

Viewed with the worst glasses, this motivation can be viewed as "growing the religion," as if its a pyramid scheme with no other motivation than its own growth (ie, cancer). I'd just like to add that it is possible to regard the growth of the religion as a truly high aim.

I'm not saying any one thing is true, only that it is possible that the pastors aim is high and heartfelt.
I'm 45, no CS degree, work for a non-startup, and have no reason to believe I won't be writing code in 10 years so I'm fully on Team Programmer. That said, it sounds like you may be painted into a bit of a corner financially. In your situation I would program recreationally (you don't need to formally expand on your CS minor - plenty of good courses online if you need to go deeper). I'd grow in my primary career, and start looking to opportunities to leverage the two fields (for example, build a SaaS app that targets something in your specialty)

Every call you take is an opportunity for you to bolster your final asking price. Use calls to your advantage.

The recruiter might not be party to the final negotiation, but they’ll be a net positive at hiring meetings if you’ve got them in your corner.

Recruiters will want to talk on the phone at every stage, not necessarily for long periods of time, but certainly frequently. They are constantly gauging how you feel as a candidate, and getting the measure of how to close you once you get an offer.

Dance along to their tune and it will be one more reason you get top market price for your labor.

I find that, with a good IDE, the expressiveness of some typed langs matches that of dyn typed langs. You write a bit more code (the types) when using a typed lang, but you write a bit less tests (the stand-in for types dyn langs offer) and your IDE takes care of many of your type signatures.

The fast dev times, as in quick "edit -> run -> try" loops, it what I find most attractive of the dyn langs nowadays. And gradual typing might be a way to get there, although I think it is not needed (some strong typed langs have decent hot code reload).

The details were hazy, but in 2016, there was a way to export your passwords from LastPass and import them into 1Password, though I don't think there was a way to do so on windows (which I believe is what your importer addresses).

After LastPass vulnerability in July 2016, I switched to 1Password.

This will probably be an unpopular take, but 28 (your exact age) is "too old" to work in tech as a software engineer. Evidently, if it wasn't too old to work in tech, you wouldn't be asking this question in the first place. You even said that Paul Graham said not to hire engineers over 30. That gives you what? 2 years max to find a job, get settled in, and make a career out of it? Pshh. You'd obviously be behind others who started right out of college, as you mentioned.

This post sounds to me like sympathy-baiting. As if you want others to assuage your doubts. You won't get that from me. If you're willing to listen to Paul Graham, you should also be willing to listen to me - another stranger whom you've never met. So let me bite the bullet and be the first one here to discriminate against you just because of your age. YOU'RE TOO OLD! Hate to break it to you, but you will never be able to make a living doing programming as a software engineer. Just give it up right here and now.
I don't think it's that simple really; it seems like people (not just programmers) are hard to please because the circumstances and available time differ from day to day, and different conversations are better sometimes in email and others on a call.

I'm very protective of my time in general because I tend to be involved in many things: sometimes technical, bureaucratic, sometimes internal-political, and so many more. Each category requires a different part of my attention/focus which I'm not always readily able to shift to, or more importantly, would rather not shift to as I'm more preoccupied with a different category.

Most importantly, the majority of the time all these calls have one common denominator; the requestor wants/needs something from me, not the other way around. Wanting/needing my help or input isn't something wrong in and of itself, but if it's not reciprocal and especially if it's not something I'm obligated to do, I absolutely tend to be pretty defensive of my time.

It's perfectly common in modern business to exploit people's tendency towards good faith interpretations and our aversion to conflict, and disengaging from situations/requests that aren't one's responsibility is something many people have difficulty with. (Just think in your work place if you know someone who just has a hard time saying "no" and over-commits themselves constantly) And it's a skill to identify these situations and gracefully disengage depending on the person who is creating the situation in the first place.

When there are complaints about a template email, the opposite of that isn't a phone call, it's taking the time to state a point clearly and directly and showing that it has specific relevance to you and justifying your time/attention. A conversation can be just as "template" as any email, even more so sometimes when you are listening to someone who speaks only in aphorisms but cannot go deeper than that. ("You have a chance to get in on the ground floor of something truly revolutionary!", "It's a high-paced high-reward environment that a 10x-er like you can thrive in, and the growth opportunities are limitless!", or even we can think of the hey-day of descriptions along the lines of "the Uber of _____") If the conversation lacks substance or purpose to someone specific and relies on general advertisement like attention grabs to keep you going, it doesn't matter what the medium is, the conversation simply offers next to no value.

A phone call doesn't mean personal by any means, it just means a slightly higher amount of attention and a situation that is sometimes difficult for people to exit. It has it's time and place, but far too many people exploit the good nature of others to peddle some agenda that serves only themselves. Absolutely, we should be more protective of our time/attention, and we should be more respectful of other people's time/attention

The recruiter will either dismiss the whole email and not care at all or even if they did care and agreed with you they wouldn't be able to do much about it anyways.

The translation of the Golden Plates has always struck me as insane. And that people would take a man at his word on all of the details… even more insane.

> Smith said that he found the plates on September 22, 1823, on a hill near his home in Manchester, New York, after the angel Moroni directed him to a buried stone box. He said that the angel prevented him from taking the plates but instructed him to return to the same location in a year. He returned to that site every year, but it was not until September 1827 that he recovered the plates on his fourth annual attempt to retrieve them. He returned home with a heavy object wrapped in a frock, which he then put in a box. He allowed others to heft the box but said that the angel had forbidden him to show the plates to anyone until they had been translated from their original "reformed Egyptian" language.

Oh and the plates have never been found or seen by anyone else.

Wikipedia is not a great starting point to approach spiritual things.

Bohr, the Nobel-winning physicist, had a horse shoe on top of the front door of his country cabin. When he was asked whether he believed it brings him good luck, his reply was "I was told it works regardless I believe in it or not."

There is no need to believe in such things, and belief -- in the sense you are using the word -- does not "help" you. It may even be a hindrance.

More interesting question could be: can I find useful things about myself that I can personally verify that would be difficult or impossible to learn otherwise?

A book called Inner Game of Tennis (not related to Gurdjieff) talks about the inner game that elite athletes need to learn. For example, if you are practicing how to make the perfect tennis forehand hit, you are struggling with a part of yourself that tries to control your movement. However, you need to learn to let go, and let the body to do the movement. The part that wants to control the movement is very poor in doing that. So there are these various parts in myself, and it is essential to learn how they operate.

If you are intrigued, reading "In Search of the Miraculous" by Ouspensky or one book from "Psychological Commentaries" by Nicoll could be a better starting point than Wikipedia.
> requiring you to use a very specific set of special characters?

Stupid requirements don't matter. If you have a secure password, e.g. a passphrase consisting of 7 random words (diceware) and the service complains that you're missing digits, uppercase, and symbols, then adding A0! to the passphrase does not make it less secure. Appending anything never makes it less secure. You can also write down in plain text and store on pastebin what you added per site because it's not part of the secret anyway. (Okay okay, might as well keep it private rather than pastebin; it's about the general point.)

> like 12 character max

This is not that common anymore, most services have reasonable limits. If you do run into one and it's too important not to use, then you don't have a choice anyway: you'll have to make an exception to the scheme and memorize or store an actual password for once. Doesn't mean you have to design all your other passwords for one exceptional case.

Same could be said about disregarding societal needs in favour of individual rights.

But the main issue here is that there hasn’t been any regression in individual rights in New Zealand, or Australia, for that matter. We are talking about people who couldn’t temporarily go outside to prevent the spread of a global pandemic. It just seems that the necessary trumps the individual accommodations in this case.

If you mean the war between the US on one side and al-Qaeda and various other Islamist groups on the other, that’s…a pretty bad exampe of a war that doesn’t involve religion.

> Vietnam War

The US’s global war on Communism, during and as a symbol of which it added religious languge to the pledge of allegiance and replaced its diversity-endorsing de facto model with a religious official motto is, while less of a clearly bad example than the “Global War on Terror”, not a great example of a war not involving religion.
