Thank you, exactly this
What the author may be missing is that keyboards are much, much better now than they were in the 1990s, when RMS was having problems. The touch is much lighter, the amount of force needed to depress the keys is much less. Hitting control-alt-meta-cokebottle-Q for everything to make Emacs work on an early 90s keyboard was a recipe for pain.

I've been typing on computers for almost as long as RMS has, don't have those problems.

I guess I should mention that I have my own self-taught touch typing style. I only use eight fingers, except for using my left pinky finger for the shift key. Works for me.

Hi, I’ve worked for two of FAANG, it’s super duper easy to work outside of SV.

The reason you sound salty is because you evaluate candidates based on whatever perception you have about who they are instead of trying to understand who they are.

I’m sure you don’t care, sounds like it’s working for you, so in any event congrats on finding what makes you happy!
It wasn't too many generations ago that you'd find poor people in the US with one set of clothing.
isn't that pretty much what you.com tries to do? Sort of a combination of both ordinary search results and categories based on sources.
The world currently has nearly 8 billion people. I imagine an awful lot of places have much higher populations than they used to have, regardless of climate, available tech or quality of life.

So unless you can cite sources that can show this was due entirely to AC per se and not at least partly due to population growth generally, that little factoid may well fall under the heading how to lie with statistics.
Quick responses before I go to bed:

I think compilers should emit code that make writes to memory when the program asks them to, even if the pointer is then freed. Not doing so too easily leads to security issues. If the pointer turns out to be NULL at runtime, then let it crash. Using 'volatile' often works as a workaround, though.

I have no strong opinion on substituting puts() for printf(). I think incorporating the standard library into the spec was unhelpful, but isn't a major issue either way. It occasionally makes tracing slightly more difficult, but presumably helps with performance enough to offset this, and it's never bitten me as badly as the UB optimizations have.
> Coding is hard, but so is marketing, accounting, management ... But are your marketing candidates being put through the ringer too? I suspect software engineers are being uniquely hazed.

My girlfriend works on the business strategy side of Fortune500’s. Our interviews look like a joke compared to theirs.
from 7,000 -> 70

Do you have any hard data behind that ratio?

Or are you just kind of ... making those numbers up?

Because they, you know, "feel right"?
I mean how much money is enough money? You have FAANG tier people crying about TC - at some point it becomes clear that's their whole identity. Maybe they're just sad to be stuck in horrible cities (I'm also in one of them lmao) where no amount of TC buys them peace and happiness. It is pretty cringey, and honestly sad. I've been to so many meetups which basically turn into grieving sessions for highly paid engineers to cry about how their friend got an offer for xx amount while they make 6x the average US person in a year.
Agreed. In the end, for whatever reasons, both Blocs were paranoid of something that was unlikely to happen (invasion way less likely than accidental nuclear war) because the costs and consequences of defeat (or even winning!) were way too terrible for either of them.

The Cold War with their proxy conflicts and puppet governments was a whole different deal though.
Hadn’t actively thought it that but I’ve been doing the same

As the founder you need to sell, sell, sell. Oh did I mention sell?

You need to develop a sales cycle, that means everyday picking up the phone and cold calling, any interested leads get followed up to a schedule 3months, 9 months, 24 months, build out your marketing emails, write monthly blog posts and post to linked in.

Sales funnels.

You can only nudge conversions to each successive "step" so much. Once you've reached diminishing returns, the only thing left to do is get more leads into the funnel -- grind the process out/pick up the phone and dial.

Feast or famine jobs also don't lend themselves well to "long-term thinking." If something is working, don't break it, just keep on going and make that paper. If something isn't working, you don't have the time/soundness of mind to figure it out, just keep on going (or else you won't be able to pay your bills).

Jobs are a commodity and the only selling point is price/pay -- making it one of the worst things to "sell" (the "best"/easiest things to sell are the antithesis of this).

> The US relationship with South American countries was nothing like the Iron Curtain.

They did prop up or support right wing dictators that murdered our population and sometimes even waged futile war against other NATO allies (whooops!). On one thing we agree: the US didn't dirty their hands directly, they trained murderers in things like the School of the Americas and then sent them to do their dirty work.
I'm looking to do something similar, leave behind the high stress and find something more meaningful to work on that covers the bills while my nest egg matures. I admittedly have not looked into what's next as much as I should have, but do you have any tips on how to make such a transition?

I think bummed out is closer to disappointment than outrage.
Lots of places. See, the best people have a lot of options. That’s implicit.

Given the diversity of rewarding roles available to them, the best people aren’t pressured to accept morally compromising positions.
I grew up with divorced parents, my mom was married for the third time by the time I was 10. It wasn't glorious. It was the furthest thing from glorious. They're all dead now and I'm old and I'm still pissed off about it.

If you can't commit to bringing up a kid together then don't have a kid.

I am so pissed off even writing this, I've just got to say it, fuck parents like you.

Don’t underestimate the natural gas consumption by the oil industry. Since it’s cheaper than oil as an energy source, gas fuels refining, transportion and a lot of extraction of oil.

1/4 of Canada’s natgas consumption is from Alberta’s oil sands industry.

I have a fairly decent sized directory, and one thing that pains the shit out of me is that loading the directory via Samba seems to happen at 2-4kBps over a link with even a dozen or two ms of latency.

I've tried & tried & tried to optimize this, have been desperate to get the throughput of directory loading to go faster. But loading this directory takes so damned long, literally minutes to open the directory. This might all be my implementations (cifsmounts, Samba), but it makes me so steamed at SMB. Over LAN it's fast enough, no complaints there, but as soon as there's some latency in the system, the whole thing runs at a crawl pace. It feels like a protocol, a misdesigned, shitty, bad protocol. Bah. Bother.

Alas SMB is basically the only ubiquotous protocol out there. Windows, Mac, Linux do it natively. Google dropped a Android client in 2017 & then never ever maintained it again, hahaha, what a bunch of shits, this company does no good. It's the only option, it feels like, but holy hell it's just sooo bad at browsing over wan. Unfathomably super shit. Not super relevant for the NAS case, but this doesn't feel like a super hard problem, yet everything is shit.
If you're going to judge people for working at faang, you better never shop at Walmart or Amazon, never buy any foreign electronics because they're made with child labor, work for a non profit that doesn't shovel money away from those who produce it into the hands of shareholders that control the public policy allowing for atrocities like DuPont, never buy anything with Teflon in it, take the bus instead of owning a car, and boycotting cable and internet companies. We're all in the same exploitative evil system, get off your high horse and stop judging people for being employed. The workers aren't the evil, it's the people who call the shots and make the investments. If Jeff Bezos wants to go to space, he's going to space whether you help or not, so might as well take what you can get.
What’s particularly ridiculous is an enormous amount of methane is just burned into the atmosphere as a waste product in oil fields and more is leaked into the atmosphere due to shoddy maintenance. The source material that is making fertilizer so expensive is free for the taking in some places but being wasted.

Heat + pressure + atmospheric nitrogen + catalysts + methane is being used to produce ammonia and urea which are either used directly or further reacted to produce other nitrogen compounds for fertilizer and so much more.

Software comes in two flavors, platform and end user. Platform software is usually free and only monetized via service contracts. Platform software is rarely used directly and instead is used to build other software. End user software is either subscription based or ad based now. Very few people buy end user software now as a single item.

As a developer you see the platform software, and that is causing the dissonance.
More like you gradually come to a realization that your time in this world is extremely, extremely precious.

And that you just don't particularly see a need to cater to other people's made up (and sometimes downright farcical) rituals to such an excessive degree.

Most conversions have regenerative braking nowdays. Most AC motor controllers support regen as a basic feature. A lot of the old series-wound DC motor conversions didn't have it because it was hard to do on that kind of motor (similar how it's hard to reverse; you have to flip the polarity of one set of leads but not the other, which requires a bunch of contactors or IGBTs or something).

Where regen gets kind of complicated is that you generally need to turn regen off when someone slams on the brakes. Unless the traction control / antilock braking system knows how regen figures into its calculations and can apply the proper braking force to each wheel taking it into account. I don't know what OEM EVs typically do in that situation, but for conversions you usually just have a brake switch so that regen can be automatically disabled when you're actually braking.

I could not disagree more. I am inspired by people who live their principles and can smell a virtue signaling attention magnet from a mile away. I don’t think anyone has any responsibility to change the world, if people would actually stop trying so hard we might actually get somewhere. A couple who built a knowledge compendium on how they live and some fun games and software they wanted to share with the world is fine by me.
Let’s hope so, because this quote from the article scares the hell out of me:

> Other researchers note the scientific community is uneasy about studying such effects. “Everyone is tiptoeing around it,” Pretorius says. “I’ve talked to a lot of clinicians and researchers at various universities, and they don’t want to touch it.”

The minute we are no longer allowed to ask questions either through external censorship or pressure to internally censor, is the day we start declining to our demise as a species.
The bigger problem is not the layout it’s the keyboard itself, if you have rsi switching to an ergodox can improve the situation, if this is not enough something like a dactyl manuform or a kinesis advantage 360 should do the trick.
This combined with light switches like tactile (MX brown) or linear (red) will reduce your pain immensely.

Three key things:

* viewing a session as a vacation of the mind and giving yourself permission to let go of pressing life matters for a bit

* reframing thoughts like "how much time is left?" as being part of the passing mental landscape which can be noted and let go

* realizing there are stages in a session, ie settling, concentrating, spreading awareness, watching and such.
That’s pretty gate-keepy. Even still, it’s Pixar, I’m sure there will be plenty of adult tones in it.
In Australia there is finally some attention to the police/government response of last year. One man was grabbed from behind by a police officer, lifted and slammed face first in to the ground. This kind of stuff was not politically correct to discus back then because people were panicking but now looking back, this was all too far.
Having a moral/ethical compass isn't "political".

Specifically the "all is one" philosophy is a western misreading of the Three Marks of Existence, so it's easy to misidentify them as the same thing if you have never been properly exposed to the latter. An egocentric culture would rather extend the ego outward, rather than fully embrace the concept of ego being illusory.
So astrophysics isn't science? You can't just make a supernova on demand. Some sciences are inherently historical -- that is you can look at past events and make models but are powerless to create new events.
Bernies' Extreme Wealth Tax says a couple with worth of $32m would taxed ~$5000 a year. That sounds like such a pittance. Worlds smallest fiddle playing for your slipperly slope government-is-evil shitholeness, this aspersion that this would be some terrible plight. It's a toxic straw man you've propped up. I don't see your fearmongering as an entertainable idea: it is meant to intimidate & bully, and it's so far, so very very many magntitudes, outside the intent & nature of what's really being discussed.

We have to start doing something. The current situation is catastrophic. The 0.1% need to contribute, needs to chip in to the society they benefit from having around & working/selling-to, and in large part this super-strata of society is so busy re-investing their capital that they rarely have to directly help our society, fund our government; they face less tax burden than most. A wealth tax is a basic, simple, easy idea to make the well-monied investor class contribute something to society.

Ultimately government has to be able to respond & adapt. Once a law stops fitting it's purpose it needs to be amended, fixed, rewritten. To simply say we should admit defeat & give up government is defeatism that gets us nowhere. We need progress. We need progressivism. We need to be able to enact laws easier, to monitor their impact, to adjust them as we go. Legislating in my lifetime has been roadblocked by the most shrill, hostile, negative, condescending anti-government forces imaginable. At some point we need some space & time when we decide we are going to allow governing, when we will let ourselves make & adapt & improve laws. That has not happened in modernity, and that, that is the poison eating us away, and that is why disbelief is such a reigning popular toxin. When we say government degrades, saying things get worse, we're mistaking the symptom of this popular toxic anti-governance roadblocking for a cause; it's not government's fault it's been unable to make progress, to govern: it's been by design, by specific factions within America.
Glorious perhaps for the parents.

Reading some of the comments here, I'm reminded of a story I read about several couples renting a summer house, sending all the kids from all the families there for the summer and the parents taking turns spending their vacation there to supervise.

Some outsider was like "Oh, God, spending my two weeks of vacation tending to so many children sounds like a nightmare." And then someone pointed out that for the parents, the vacation was the other six weeks or whatever getting to live like a childless couple.

(Please don't aim your anger at me. I'm on your side here.)
I think some people would not consider it bootstrapped if you have any outside loans. Usually bootstrapped means you funded the growth of the business with it's own revenue only. While small loans wouldn't matter much, to me, if someone gets a small million dollar loan from their daddy to start the business, it's not bootstrapped.

Either way, I think it gets more clear if you say 0.083kVAh increase to the production.

What's often overlooked (I believe) is that when you're doing this work in your day job you've for existing infra to support your infra along with other folks you can rely on to for help.

With home infra, you first must invent the universe (apologies to Carl). Having built 3 variations of home infra (Swarm on x64/Beelink, K3s on Pi, K3s on x64/Odroid) I've gained a strong admiration for anyone who take this on irregardless of there relative success.

What I've learnt over time is to add as little accidental complexity as is possible which I think is what you're getting at. One incarnation of the Pi K3s was provisioned by Ansible (on it's own stand alone Pi that the cluster would netboot from). Was Ansible better that imaging the usb drives manually and running a small script on each of the nodes? - probably a wash. I did however learn a bit of Ansible.
