If you are not doing it now, or making an effort to do it now, don't be surprised when the time comes and you discover that you are not spending your days as you expected.

I retired for most of my twenties and early-thirties. It was all planned, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I have ever made, but it only created opportunity. Retirement doesn't change a person's interests or their motivation. When people receive a windfall of time, they tend to spend that time doing whatever it was they did prior, only more of it. If they watched TV in their free time, now they watch more TV. You get the idea.

My unsolicited advice: do it now.
I hear it's a strong enough odor, and it's good enough at escaping containment, that fluorine chemists can't avoid smelling it from time to time, and there are levels where it is detectable but not especially dangerous. It occurs naturally in trace amounts in fluorite exposed to radioactivity, so crushing some fluorite and smelling it may be a way to get acquainted without risking your life. (It doesn't occur naturally in very many places.)

There are some fluorine compounds that are far less reactive than things like HF, but still toxic; perfluorooctanoic acid is the most notorious one. Naturally these are the ones that are most used to synthesize fluorine compounds.
I mean, this is true. But it’s weird being in the center of that raging fire. We were worried about getting sued personally (there were lots of threats) and or having our family or work brought it into it. Lots of people tried to get me fired. In the moment, it just wasn’t a fight we wanted to fight.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?
I currently live in Rochester and we recently just had a bit of a wintry mix the other day. Towns have their trucks going basically through the storm as it happens and they are able to prioritize emergency routes for both plowing and salt pretty well.Plus many folks up here are used to driving in these conditions and have the tires and or vehicles for it.

More plows in my opinion would definitely have helped as long as they were dispersing treated road salt. During snow storms, traffic on our interstates do not grind to a halt because there is a constant rotation of plows for every lane doing the best that they can to keep the priority routes clear.
Well, one of the parties has kind of gone off the rails with support for literal assaults on our democracy. You bet it's unacceptable.
> Americans use school as childcare because we don't have adequate childcare

This doesn't make any sense. What would it look like to have "adequate childcare" for third graders? You wake up and decide whether your kid was going to school or child care that day?
To me "C/C++, but secure" is equivalent to dreaming about sex on a beach. Sounds lovely as a concept, because you imagine the positives, not where the sand will get in.

It would be nice to keep the same language, same libraries, and codebases, and just somehow make them safe. But these were written for C++, not for a restrictive subset. You'll end up removing features that dependencies use (e.g. can you even ban non-smart pointers?). You'll add runtime checks to constructs that existing code assumed were free, and never needed to avoid (zero cost is a reason to use C++, otherwise a GC+JIT language can have runtime checks, but better). You will have to rewrite your code to clarify lifetimes, ownership, and remove constructs compiler can't analyze for safety.

You get many of the same pains that switching to Rust has, but none of Rust's features, and not even a fully-functional C++.
It sounds like these problems would be easier to address if the project maintainer adopted a CI/CD workflow. Just make sure that if it’s a public repo to setup proper access control.

Reminds me a bit of the Jacob’s Ladder quote:

“The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments. They burn 'em all away. But they're not punishing you,' he said. 'They're freeing your soul. If your frightened of dying, and your holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.”
The UX is simply chock-full of dark patterns. They’re present because they’re highly effective.
Well where 2 hours into this and no-one mentioned org / org-roam, so I feel a begrudging responsibility to do so.

Org-mode is a combination of note taking, todolist, jupyter notebook, & calendar major-mode for Emacs. It is wonderful and terrible in a lot of the ways emacs itself is. It is incredibly configurable and extendable, and feature rich to the degree that discovering spreadsheet support after using it for 6 months seems to be a rite of passage.

Org-roam is an extension ontop of org-mode that creates an roam like layer.

The largest drawback stems from it being so flexible making it hard to develop a good phone client for it. Through Álvaro Ramírez's PlainOrg(iOS) & Orgzly (Android) do help somewhat.

>"MSc in some science (like it matters)"

a formal 400-level course in algorithms will go a long way, preferably at a good university with a good professor, but if you can't get that right now: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-compu...

computer science is a discipline where people seem to think the education doesn't matter that much, but the truth is once you start to get even a little mathy it matters big time
As I think this is a genuine question, I will answer accordingly. My build system of choice is CMake and my package system of choice is vcpkg. I will assume both are already setup. They are easy to setup on all of Windows/macOS/Linux by following the instruction. I tested.

First, you need to find out the package name. Run vcpkg search sdl2. It tells you that the package is called sdl2. It is trivial in this case, but if you wanted SDL 1.x, it could have been called sdl, or sdl1. vcpkg search will tell you it's sdl1.

Next, you install it by running vcpkg install sdl2. This will build from source. >1000 packages in the official repository should build cleanly, warning free, etc.

Installation tells you how you should use the package with CMake. It is two lines. find_package(SDL2), and target_link_libraries(main SDL2::SDL2).

To use CMake with vcpkg, copy and paste two lines to your CMakeLists.txt, and run CMake with CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE set to vcpkg.cmake.

Yes, C situation is bad, but it is not as bad as people think.
FWIW the relevant Debian or Ubuntu package is dict-gcide these days, no longer dict-web1913.

It feels like you're trying really hard to not get web3 any credit here. Try making something like this in the traditional web. People have tried and failed.

Ethereum provides a robust, secure, and increasingly usable key storage and usage system to everyone which makes "just signing a message" a simple task and not a 10 step process probably involving a CLI. It's worth considering the utility of this and the possibilities everyone having a person public/private key pair allows. My fellow software developers among us likely have their mouths watering at the use cases this unlocks. Here's a pretty good thread about the implications: https://twitter.com/BrantlyMillegan/status/13892701158840975...

You sound just as clueless as your intended victims. If scamming is your thing, why stop with NFTs? The internet is chock full of gullible folks. Don't be limited by worrying about whether the suckers can afford to be fleeced. That's for chumps and small-timers.

> game developers would almost certainly require the NFT contract to involve some kickbacks

Perhaps. But I think you may be jumping to conclusions there. The truth is that licenses have not been easily transferable in the past. So there's the effect here that the value of transferring the license can be accounted for by the user. If one platform (Steam/GOG) begins to utilize NFTs, then it's very possible that could cause market expectations to rapidly change.

Imagine if cars were not transferable easily, then one day they were. What do you think would happen to the car market? Certainly, I'm sure if car manufacturers could have their way, they would make it impossible to transfer used cars because it artificially constricts supply. Yet under this hypothetical I don't believe that would occur. Instead, the car makers would need to adapt to having a secondary market.
The right has not been truly fiscally conservative for decades. Maybe you are the anomalous one, as your party seems to have transitioned to cults of personality lacking any sort of coherent ideology.
The ethereum would pay for it, if the user knew how to actually cash out.
You can thank the US government for that, it's a federal requirement on all new gas canisters. It's supposedly to prevent accidental gas spillage but in my experience it makes the problem far worse. You can still find traditional spouts, but don't use them for gas they're for water only ;)
> The upcoming Pull Stay is, as you would expect, modeled around his principles and requires players to protect their hikikomori master by basically beating people who try entering his house for whatever reason.

I detect anger issues. And apparently he's looking for a following so that he can upgrade his status to "hikikomori master." What else do you have to do to hit the rank of master, if 10 years dedicated to the lifestyle doesn't get you there? I guess in Japan, the answer is to develop a video game.

> Since then, he's learned English, started up a YouTube channel and learned game development en route to launching his first game with the help of a Kickstarter.

Note to self. Creating a game from zero knowledge is a really long process. Maybe he should have skipped learning English.

Regarding variable names I think the correct answer is somewhere in the middle. There's such a thing as too short a variable name, and these days I see it more frequently than I see too verbose a variable name.
Do you have any idea of what that solution might look like? The existence of a problem doesn't mean that there necessarily exists a better alternative.
GNUmakefile:

LDLIBS += $(shell pkg-config --libs sdl2)
CFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags sdl2)

prog: prog.o

Then you just run `make` or `gmake` (the developer should be aware of what his platform of choice prefers to call gnu make) and prog.c gets compiled to prog using the appropriate flags. I missed out some important details like setting the standard revision but I wanted to keep this short. This will work with gnu make, gcc and clang on linux, mac, any BSD, and windows (under wsl or msys or cygwin). Cross compilation is possible too. Personally I would use redo as the build system but this is shorter in make for such a simple project. More complex projects can be made to work with this basic pattern. When using autotools, cmake or meson you also have plenty of good options although I'm not entirely familiar with them as I don't use autotools, cmake or meson.

Obviously this won't work if your machine is broken or if you don't have SDL2 installed in the correct place, but these are concerns for the package manager. The documentation simply needs to instruct you to install SDL2 (with development headers and the pkg-config definition). If you need a more advanced use-case such as you're trying to vendor the dependencies, you need to deal with PKG_CONFIG_PATH but I should stress that vendoring is NOT a normal use-case in the open-source-project-relying-on-sdl2 world.
Yup. The Romans in Britain did use coal for their hypocausts. But too far away, too little, too late for the Empire at large.
> Any issues of style should be in the style guide. Anything not in the style guide can be ignored. Or the style guide should be updated.

I find that there are two components of style:

- Formatting

- Clean abstractions, modularization... everything else that goes into making you a great (not just passable) programmer

Formatting should be handled by tools like others have said. For everything else I have the options:

- Turn the style guide into a book which no one will ready anyway

- Ask them to read an actual book but it isn't practical in the scope of a PR, and even after reading the ideas take a while to digest

- Attempt to mentor the employee via the PR, often appearing pedantic because it's hard for a novice to appreciate what they don't know.

- Code that passes CI is working code - screw everything else!

I take the mentoring route whenever it's presented to me but have generally found that some other team members (especially as they get older) have no interest in best practice and become annoyed by the code review process. If the mentee has persistence it tends to work out but moreso over 6mth-1yr timeframes. For mentees without the patience we drop the code review and keep them in areas of the code base where they can't do too much damage.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that our culture is willing to bend the processes to fit individual's strengths, and overall our workplace is pretty happy/chill. Maybe the engineering quality takes a hit but I can definitely sympathize with where the OP is coming from.
Even your own contribution? Scrum is a team thing---if your scrums are terrible, its because you and your teammates like them that way for some reason. You have no one to blame but yourself if you let it go on for 12 years.
This is a moral "transgression" that I honestly can't bring myself to care about. It's not any different than trying to make money on the stock market, knowing that nearly 100% of stock-pickers and day traders will lose money in the long-run.

So I don't care to try to convince you of anything, but I would suggest that there are thousands of people thinking the way you are, and it's still possible to lose all your money due to a shock -- even if you think you're the shark and other people are the fish.

> Notice that the major traffic jam was on I-95 South outside of the beltway, it wasn't on the outer loop, inside DC, or in Maryland even though the storm blanketed the area.

This is a good point and I think people are concluding too much from a single stretch of highway. Generally the chaos is more widespread, like in the original Carmageddon [0] and all if its sequels where I'd drive past abandoned cars the next day wherever I went.

It just seems like VDOT or whoever's contracted to take care of 95 screwed up. There's sand on the roads nearby me, and it rained before snowing here, too. Maybe it being 60 degrees the day before didn't help.

Yeah, and it also really goes to show how she just isn't in touch with reality for people who are _poor_.

"Spend time with your friends", she says.

OK, and then not be able to go out for drinks with your friends because you can't afford to eat out? Or because you're working a 12 hour shift because you need the overtime? Or studying trying to get marketable job skills?

This discussion is full of rich, self-righteous assholes lecturing about how being wealthy isn't that great for this or that reason...

Rich people don't have to worry about losing their job because their shitty 10 year old car is breaking down. They even can afford to buy cars that actually appreciate in value.

Rich people can afford accountants to help them dodge the hell out of taxes, while poor people make mistakes on their tax forms and get slammed with extra taxes and fees.

If someone rich loses their job, they likely have multiple kinds of savings, at least an emergency fund. What a novel concept- money you have just in case there's an emergency. They have plenty of people to network with and can find another job easily.

Rich people don't have to worry about getting bent over if they need a loan.

Rich people can buy durable housing, clothing, etc instead of shit that falls apart constantly.

Rich people can afford healthy food, and have the time and energy to cook for themselves or at least get nutritious take-out, etc.

I have slowly made a bunch of friends via an activity I'm able to do because of a family member. I was invited to an activity.

So ZFS on truenas/freebsd is in some weird twilight zone of great stability and horribly broken, we ended up having VM corruption after removing an l2arc cache drive on truenas.

Not necessarily I think. As I understand, Hawkins envisions motor skills as involving a kind of “system call” to the old brain, and the fact that the cortical columns are more efficient does not seem to necessarily imply that old brain structures are similarly more efficient. So, I’m not sure there would have to be a clear correlation between professional sports and general intelligence.
