First and foremost you must realize that you are not owing your company anything. They already paid you for your work and that is the end of that transaction. You may feel like you cannot let people hanging on a human level - that is ok. But people will understand that you take time off when your health it at stake.

Second, take some time off. Burnout can sometimes be hard to shake off when you are still at work. You may be scared of having so much time on your hands, but you can always go back to work :)

Think about starting therapy. Often burn outs are not because of actual external pressure, but because of the internal pressure we put on ourselves because we put on ourselves. If the root cause is not solved, there is so point in going back to work because it will happen again.
Same. I just removed it years ago and in the rare case someone asks for my WhatsApp, they likely are using a different App as well.

> But what if there was a way to really make the company disappear? Wouldn't this be attractive to the most talented employees?

Yes please. But a DAO is far from the only way. Some worker coops share similar features, like for example Coopaname where each employee has personal autonomy but a common structure employs everyone with a stable long-term contract (CDI).

> As such, DAOs run the risk of replicating or recreating many of the issues associated with conventional corporations.

This is a problem with any organizational structure as long as we don't change the material conditions (and incentives) throughout society. As long as you need to pay for rent and food the game is pitting everyone against one another for basic survival.

Overall, thanks for a good article. I'm just disappointed this fair critique serves as advertisement for crypto-speculation courses and training sessions about the future of real estate business. The author seems well aware of the problems with these domains ("Sustainability, Wellbeing, and Broader Impact") yet wants to sell us more of that poison.
From what I've read, WhatsApp won precisely because of being truly platform independent. 10y+ ago Android/iOS monopoly was not yet that huge, and compared to other apps, WhatsApp had a client (which worked well) on the long tail of cheaper devices/OSes, which drove its adoption, because you could communicate with literally anyone.

That, too. My uncle could buy his house for 3 months of salary. It was cheap and made from wood and he had to put in lots of work to make it nice, but good luck just buying the land nowadays for that price.

That said, the horrible housing market is in my opinion mostly due to foreign mafia/dictator/oligarch investment through shell companies. The most expensive areas in London are all sold, but empty...

I tried scalajs for a few tiny personal projects and I really like it. For me it would have to be a very application-y product to use this over typescript but I really liked the experience.
Yeah, whenever I got to my countries "Top streaming" list on Spotify I have no idea who any of the artists are, I did see that new Elton John rework in there but that was the only "old music" in there. Maybe they, the bands and artists, creating the new music aren't paid and doesn't bring in money like their old counter parts and well end up being less important for the music industry as a whole?
I have done this several times, with various small variations, and find it works well. I don't have a good name for it.

I think it's a variety of cookie-cutter scaling:

https://paulhammant.com/2011/11/29/cookie-cutter-scaling/

But there's nothing in that about using different entrypoints or routing.

FWIW, variations on the theme:

1. A single binary with a single entrypoint, which can play multiple roles simultaneously (UI, API, scheduled jobs), but where different kinds of request are routed to different pools of instances

2. A single binary with multiple embedded configurations, selecting via command line arguments etc, each for a single different role (UI, admin console, data ingestion)

3. A single (Java) binary with multiple entrypoints (main methods), each playing a different role (live calculations, batch calculations, data recording)

4. A single (C++) codebase building multiple binaries (via CMake add_executable), each playing a different role (calculating prices for potatoes, calculating prices for oranges)

5. A single repository with multiple completely separate applications, with some shared submodules, each built separately, playing a different role (receiving transactions, validating transactions, reporting transactions)

That last one is probably not an example of what you are talking about, but it's closer to the one before than to the first in the list. There is a sort of "ring species" [1] shape to this variation.

Interestingly Venezuela is listed as democratic country in this article. I suspect there are a lot of Venezuela people who would disagree with such statement.
I agree completely. The internet was such a blessing. Thanks for posting this
What drove us away from making fun shit? Was it our inferior need to make money? I used to think I was the greatest computer guy around until a guy in his dorm room, one year older than me, suddenly became a millionaire and then a billionaire. He made me feel so inferior, I lost the plot.
It wasn't like being good at art as a kid, feeling valued, and then later on in life, realizing art isn't my thing, in a moment of disappointment, and then dismissing it as a career option.
It was more like, seeing what he did, being greedy to want to copy it, and then seeking to be like a lesser version of zuckerberg, and to make an inferior facebook, while completely losing what I was doing in the first place, like the ultimate distraction.
Not sure about cnn, but the effects these studies "discovered" are well known, they could just ask long time users. A regular advice is to stop smoking two weeks before taking a test, because fats accumulate thc. Also, there is a day (rarely two) of light aftereffects after smoking it. Daily smoking leads to having these all the time, which may help your mood, but reduce your cognitive sharpness as well, similar to afternoon satiety. But frankly I'd better focus on reasons why they turn to smoking and drinking rather than to other activities. You can't stop drug use by just saying "drugs bad mkay, alcohol bad".
It was your project! I still haven't tried it yet I'm afraid but it looks very well designed.

The Winter war finished because Stalin whole strategy was not to go to war with Germany or the Allies before the were at war with each other.

He knew very well that France/Britain were seriously considering action, not just in Finland. A far larger danger would have been a massive attack by the RAF on Baku targeting the oil fields.

The reason the Winter war ended with such comparatively good terms is that Stalin had to end it or risk escalation.
Hm, the article's been 404 for me since I first saw this posting, 9 hours ago. Are you saying it's up for you?
CORRECT! And this is what perplexes me so much. I lived in Japan and saw this with my own eyes, it was such an ultra conservative society, especially in respect how women are treated.

And then you meet Western people who adore, even feteshize Japan SO heavily without reflecting anything what is going on.

People have to understand that most of the things they love in Japan (cleaness, extreme degree of quality in customer service, orderliness) is due to those ultra conservative values and norms.

Hence, I am very critical towards Japan and I find people naive who one the one hand adore Japan so much (also the super conservative government) and at the same time hate the Chinese values, system and even people.
Highly recommend Fastmail. Fantastic server side search and web app (plus has calendar which is essential for an email app imo). There also is nothing holding you back from bringing your own mail client (that can actually interact with the server eg tagging). They also allow connecting to other accounts such as gmail letting you have a single inbox on Fastmail itself.

Favorite “hidden” feature is the ability to do sieve scripting which combined with wildcards and send from identities lets me auto sort emails by path. Eg apps-tech-hackernews@example.com. Also the standard account comes with 100 domains and are real easy to setup.

Been using it for a year now and I haven’t had a single issue. Also the pricing is very reasonable.

Orders of magnitude should matter in an insightful conversation.
All languages can spread without coercion. I knew people learning Catalan without even living anywhere nearby, and even not knowing Spanish, French or Italian. Maybe it was an elective in their university and they were bored, maybe they heard a song and loved it, ... plenty of different reasons.

But dominant languages have plenty of advantages.

First of all just by being spoken by lots of people make then a "de facto" common language, and sometimes people change to the dominant language in a conversation just because one person spoke in that, EVEN when all the people can talk and understand the same non-dominant language. I've seen it happen, and this may be a leftover from times when it was persecuted to speak the non-dominant one.

Second there's lot of non-aggresive coercion. You may have less job opportunities if you don't use the dominant language, your works less promotion, not considered serious, ... . I'm sure that (except for the novelty) a punk-rock Navajo band singing in Navajo would have less media exposure that the same band using English.

And third, there's lots of remanent coercion. People being agressive because you are using the "wrong" language, not being able to use the language in a trial (in the same country that contains the dominant and dominated languages), ... .

If you add all three it's clear that without some organized help the dominated languages have a hard time. And when a language is lost some of the knowledge is lost, because a language is not only a means of communication, it's also a way to see the world. The expression the language holds gives us a unique view on different ways of thinking.
Had a bag that from all available evidence after the fact fell off a conveyor at SeaTac and got stuck somewhere. Very directional scrape damage on the bag. Found within 13 hours of me filing a missed luggage complaint, but due to a lack of good photo evidence (and alas throwing the no longer fit for purpose bag away) I did not get the cost of the replacement bag comped by Delta.

As I read the introduction of both the linked article and the cited paper, the result is mostly of importance to complexity theory, and the intention is not to actually apply this procedure to actual quantum algorithms.

For quantum complexity theory, the result is significant, as it shows that there is no need to distinguish between algorithms with and without intermediate measurement when comparing complexity.
How strange. If I take a service and set

SystemCallFilter=@basic-io
SystemCallLog=~@basic-io

and then restart it, I get a bunch of audit SECCOMP log messages (and the service fails to start):

audit[1185972]: SECCOMP auid=4294967295 uid=63946 gid=63946 ses=4294967295 subj==unconfined pid=1185972 comm="(t-online)" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" sig=0 arch=c000003e syscall=59 compat=0 ip=0x7f5c632f66c7 code=0x7ffc0000

This is debian bullseye and systemd 247. I wonder if your audit logs are going somewhere else?
Yes (Belgium ♥)

"Nothing" is not a vacation. Mental health problem is a bitch. In this whole 1y, for 4 months I was in a bad place.
I'm too old (mid 30s) to waste time chasing apps. If it comes with the OS, namely the default SMS messaging app, I use it. When I was on Android, that's all I used and I could contact everyone. Same on iOS now. If anyone was annoyed at sending me SMS, then it meant their comms wasn't important enough — automatic filtering.
Damn, that is actually pretty trippy to imagine. I can engage in transactions with basically anyone on the planet... That was part of what used to excite me about crypto.
> Gut-feeling microservices

I'm in this comment and i don't like it.

My current team has this pattern. I think we've ended up with two core services, with a fairly thin channel between them, but a constellation of tightly-coupled peripheral services around each core.

To be honest, it works pretty well. It wasn't intentional, and it grew in exactly the haphazard way you describe. But it's not a disaster, or at least doesn't feel like one.

Maybe we should rebrand this as "natural microservices"?
> Now that more than a month has passed since initial symptoms, I still feel that my heart and blood circulation is not back to normal and I am a bit afraid to exercise. I only do some walks on a moderately steep trail and some stretching.

If you're lucky. I have similar symptoms, and I'm 18 months in and still not back to normal (I have improved, but intense exercise seems to cause a regression).

> It looks like most of the damage is first done to your blood circulation system and then that harms some other organs.

It seems to vary between people and infections, but that's certainly one of the ways it can go.

It's really hard to report on correlation without implying causality.

So whenever you see research popping up in your news feed just flip the order of statements in the title.

"People at greater risk of dying walk less"

Then read the paper carefully for any signs of something that doesn't fit this flipped version.

"Correlation consists even when controlled for smoking and comorbidities"

It still can be true because smoking is just one factor out of thousands factors contributing to early deaths, and comorbidities probably bunched up so many unrelated stuff together that you could control for some random stuff and get really close results. And even if they accounted for all the comorbidities precisely still people with each might be in different condition and those farther from death might want to walk more.
If it could be killed by the removal of a single app then it was not actually a viable culture in the first place.

The Schönhage–Strassen algorithm is O(n*log(n)*log(log(n))) time algorithm. Fürer's algorithm is better (& impractical) but still worse than O(n*log(n)). Harvey and van der Hoeven's algorithm is conjectured to be O(n*log(n)) but not yet proven. No idea if it is practical!

ScalaJS is awesome. Really solid and mature project, can totally recommend. It's especially worth if you want to write complicated business logic and prefer to use Scala and the whole ecosystem of JVM libraries to do that.

The only thing that can be annoying is when you want to have a typesafe interface and have to write a lot of adapters for javascript libraries.

Fortunately there is even a project that can make use of typescript interfaces for those libraries, so that you can use them from ScalaJS more or less automatically: https://scalablytyped.org/
It doesn't really matter about the UK's status. Nobody is saying "well I live in a hegemon, I won't bother learning another language". For the most part, people learn languages because they are useful.

I live in the UK and only speak English. I'm happy enough with that because speaking another language well represents thousands of hours of effort that I was happy to spend elsewhere - it is a huge opportunity cost. However, if I had to learn French in order to gain access to learning materials in my field and become qualified, then I would have done so.

But I didn't. The only reason for me to learn a foreign language would be curiosity - learning French or German or Spanish has almost no actual utility whatsoever for most in the UK. So few bother.
Is a lawyer an engineer?

Hillel asks engineer-turned-swes whether they think swe is engineering. He should compare that rate to the rate lawyer-turned-swes think swe is similar to law.

Without comparing rates, you might include swe in engineering by an overbroad definition of engineering.

Also if you think engineering is whether the state has granted you a license: 1) cope, 2) since lawyers need a JD, they’re definitely engineers right?

Personally, I think we appropriated the term eng in the mid-90s to up the social status of programmers. Nothing wrong with that, but FAANG SWEs make substantially more than trad engineers now, so we should aim higher.
The guy who woke me didn't know it was a DDOS, all he knew was our service was down. It doesn't matter whether I can do anything about it or not, someone still gets phoned when this happens.
They blamed their competitor's embrace/extend/extinguish behavior to pull out of it (IIRC MS and perhaps others had asymmetric compatibility with Google talk, and that's how they justified making Google talk proprietary).
As an European, if I think about "not being on board with the orthodoxy" current DNS system that relies on Google or Cloudflare is far more dangerous for me than an European run infrastructure.

EU is frankly more liberal as of today than any other continent on the planet, I'm not scared of a guglag resurgence anytime soon.

Anyway, the article quotes the proposal, think of the children it's not there, it's about something more reasonable

"DNS4EU shall offer a high level of resilience, global and EU-specific cybersecurity protection, data protection and privacy according to EU rules, ensure that DNS resolution data are processed in Europe and personal data are not monetised”
Honest question: Are "wiki notes" useful?

With other words, are notes in Roam/Obsidian/Logseq/Joplin/Dendron useful on the long term? Is the graph nature of notes a "plus" or just a distraction? Do you query your notes in a way that the results are more helpful than using a "flat wiki" (one or few text/markdown files)?

I use a "flat wiki" or despite not using org-mode, I believe it may be customized to "god-mode" _IF_ you take (plenty of) time to do it. "Wiki notes", by the other hand, seem a waste of time but probably I didn't understand them yet.
random aside: I don't know what if anything changed but .... if I put on 94.9 SF , they've literally been playing many of the same songs for 8 months now. I can turn it on any day since last May and 30-40% of the playlist hasn't changed. from June to October about 85% stayed the same. And the songs would repeat every 2-3 hours.

I don't remember radio having songs that played that many months
Are you sure you're using this algorithm [1] in your daily work and not a different one? It's the only known O(n log n) multiplication algorithm AFAIK.

And if so, can I ask what it's useful for? I thought it was a galactic algorithm.
