Thanks, that's good to toss in things like Diner's Club and Facebook, too.

I find it interesting that you're bullish about the space but seem to be one of the few people asking the most important question: why should anyone join? I'm a couple of years older than you and it's been really weird feeling like that's strangely absent — things like CompuServ, the web, social media, smartphones, etc. all had such clear answers for that that people would be asking for help signin up because they knew they wanted it because it'd help them do something (school, trading stocks, gaming, reaching customers, etc.) but weren't sure the best option or something like that. It's been really weird to me that the answer remains nonobvious. I'd be happy even if it was as simple as “we want to turn PayPal into a smoldering hole in the ground” because a) such a deserving company and b) anyone who hears it would know immediately whether it's something they'd like — and that means that people in the space would know they need to hit certain cost and ease of use thresholds.
HN has been on fire this week -- in the good way! And this whole post and quote throws another log on it.
I assume it’s pronounced like Cthulhu, but with an ‘ix’ sound at the end instead of ‘u’.
Sounds to me like you may be depressed. If you are depressed, I recommend against traveling without getting that looked at first. When you are depressed, no matter where you go, there you are. Travel won't help.

There's no shame in this, I had undiagnosed anxiety/depression for 20+ years. I had no idea what it was, or why I felt that way until it was treated and it went away completely.

Seek professional help. CBT (talk therapy) is good. Drugs + CBT are even better. If you find an SSRI that works + some CBT, it's life changing stuff right there.

Without this, you are fighting with one hand tied behind your back. Fix this first.

Your suggestion sounds sensible: as this is about unvaccinated Canadian drivers returning from the US, I am sure Canada will implement your solution at all the truck stops in the USA.
Be careful with doing this in the modern era, cellular carriers have gotten very strict about A2P SMS regulation and if you have more than minimal usage the cellular account might get outbound SMS blocked fairly quickly.

This is kind of crazy but really interesting as a sort of extreme manifestation of data-centric applications. I say it's crazy, but startups like Supabase are essentially building the professional version of your idea.

The share of discourse on HN about PostgreSQL, SQL, and Databases is growing noticeably. [0] I, for one, hope we are seeing the pendulum swing back from code-centric architectures and NoSQL to a new golden age of data-centric architectures.

Next you need push and pub/sub semantics in PostgreSQL so you can build something like this [1]

great advice. I think I'm gonna move to a city or some random island and try this
Oh sorry I miss understood what you meant by "resources"
I was in a similar rut 'round about 2013. I won't go into details, but sans a very small number of solid-as-granite people, my group of friends disintegrated for various reasons, including everyone I know getting married off, having kids, and being absorbed by one or the other.

I got off of my ass. I moved to a completely new geographic area. I sampled every aspect, every neighborhood of my target area, and I looked for the things that made the time prior so good. I found it, and I got to take a second spin through the best time of my single life. I met outstanding people, made lifelong friendships, partied like there was no tomorrow, met my wife, had my kids, kept my friendships, kept the best parts of partying, and found an incredible life. I liked who I was. I didn't like where I was, physically, spiritually, and metaphysically.

I'm in my 40s now. I just spent the day dressed up like a pirate catching beads, pounding beers, ripping shots of rum, laughing with friends, being absolutely ridiculous, and came back to a 3 year old telling me that she "loves me so much." Use your gifts to lift yourself out. They serve you, you don't serve them.

get. off. of. your. ass. in whatever way that is meaningful to you.
I think concert ticket nfts would be cool. like if you bought a ticket you would receive a commemorative nft. then, you can show off your Woodstock nft to your grandkids like how people save ticket stubs now
It seems like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You state you aren't trying to invalidate anything, but then you are saying people having different priorities than you are "deeply disturbing." Get over yourself and be honest. Stop trying to imply your just trying to understand when it's clear that's not at all what you are trying to do.
Yeah that’s not true and is mostly due to your bias.

Getting a pet is actually a pretty great idea. There's something awesome about having a non-judgemental companion who is always pretty excited to see you and values your attention. My cats keep us sane with our new normal of always being home, because remote work.
Work is a terrible place to make friends. The incentives are all stacked against it. People at work are competitive, fearful, distrusting, political, formal, reserved, with worksonas turned up to the max. When people leave the company, the majority of the time the reason for the relationship has ceased. Try to bring people into your life through just about any other activity and you will have better results.
You've got to be kidding. Most physicians know very little about nutrition. And that's not a criticism of physicians, it's just not really their field. Maybe try a registered dietician instead?
> Plus, shitty middlemen like DoorDash are gross

Hmm... do you feel the same way about the middlemen who make it possible for you to buy bread without ordering the wheat direct from a farmer in 5,000 bushel lots, storing it, grinding it into flour, and then making it into bread?

Everyone hates "middlemen", but if they're really not adding value they tend to get disintermediated fairly quickly.

I remember the bad old days before Amazon where if I wanted some weird bit of kit I'd have to go to the library, blow a few hours doing research to figure out what companies might make the thing (not always successfully!), then blow more hours making long-distance phone calls (very expensive back then) to try to find a company that a) had what I needed and b) would sell it in quantity one. It sucked. Massively.

> Why would I want to have someone take a vig off my business and have a worse experience by any measurement?

Because then you don't have to hire your own drivers and maintain your own online ordering system. Not all restaurants participate in DoorDash, by any means. Presumably the ones that do find that it adds value.

Also, I disagree that the DoorDash experience is worse. Strongly. To name just one advantage over the old ways, there was no GPS app that showed me when the driver was nearby so I could be prepared.

A less condescending way to say what you said is, "oh they're pretty clear in the compiler output, are they buried or something?" And then I would say that in the linter in Vim, you only get the "method not found in Bar" which could be all kinds of things.

I also think this but as a counterpoint, I use Logitech MX Master 2. It has a micro-usb port for charging, but only connects wirelessly. I think this is a necessary decision, because the only way this could work well with both a wired and wireless mode is turning off the wireless part when plugged in. But to the OS this would be a different mouse, with potentially different settings, causing confusion for users.

Amusingly, you can find many forum posts online, where users complain that this mouse "isn't working even when plugged in", with replies of "mine works when plugged in" (unknowingly using wireless).
My first job out of college I was a help desk guy on track to become a sysadmin. As fate would have it, an opportunity came to let me transition into a coding role*. The rest is history. I am so incredibly thankful for this happening and I think my career turned out significantly better both in terms of compensation and enjoyment than my friends/colleagues who stayed on the sysadmin path.

*Back then there was no concept of leetcode interviews. Otherwise, this transition would probably have been extremely unlikely.
I have chosen to cancel Niel Young. The solution to bad speech is better speech.
There are really two concepts that I have been trying hard to master:
1. As the OP, learning to recognize the state of your mind, and picking a task that's appropriate to it
2. Learn to enter and exit the desired state of mind at will. Like switching off the lights in one room, and entering another instantly.

The latter is imho harder because it requires the metacognition from the former as well as discipline. But discipline itself is not sufficient. Need to build in sufficient downtime as well and fight the urge to be productive during that phase. Let it all sink in. This might be the hardest.
There were a couple years (maybe 2008-2012) where retail PC motherboards came with embedded "instant boot" OS environments that nobody actually used.
The description of your college days implies that you are not incompetent socially. That's encouraging! Tell yourself this social drought will pass and just bare it a little longer until the Covid situation stabilizes.

In another comment you mentioned digital nomad plans. I'm planning that too. My strategy is to stay in a 20+ room co-working hotel that requires a 1 month minimum stay and then hopefully forming a bond with a few people. Then perhaps traveling with them to the next city. With a few friends it becomes much easier to make the first move with a woman you find attractive since dates are just inviting her to hang out with your pals. Just having friends makes you more attractive to women too, but I think you know this. I live in a desirable coastal city so hopefully encouraging her to move might possible if I find the right person, or heck I can move. It sounds like you live in an interesting city too but even if neither of you can move and it ends, you'll at least break your losing streak.

That's the hope anyway. The fact that you are thinking about and have some ideas is again encouraging. I think you'll be fine.

Lastly it may get psychologically easier as you get older. IME a few high quality half/full day interactions a year are enough for me to stay happy. But unfortunately it is not a strategy for forming a romantic relationship.
very few (other) comments suggest getting married, having kids or being religious. Seems like OP didn't even consider it.
I totally agree with the consensus here that Google search result quality has declined dramatically, although I think it's been happening for at least 5 years rather than 6-12 months. Two alternates have helped me replace Google.

DuckDuckGo has been mentioned by many others but I'll add my voice as well. It does a much better job at respecting quotes than Google (though not always!). It's very rare these days that I strike out on a search with DDG and have any luck with Google, though it does happen on rare occasions.

The other site is SymbolHound. This is great for programming queries since it actually search symbols verbatim! I found out about it when trying to debug a complicated makefile at a new job, while not being very good at makefiles. Ever tried searching Google for some unfamiliar syntax from a makefile? Hahaha, it doesn't even try to give matching results; it's totally useless.

I miss the old days but these two alternatives, plus falling back to Google, or at least StartPage with `!sp`, still works pretty well.

Wrote a bot for it, very constructive experience.

Something that I didn't expect is that is not that easy as "buy low" and "sell high". I had to cap the buying price for the bot to make money at all, else the "bought at" will get so high, that you won't have a chance to buy much.

let bougthAt = 0;

let fn = { click: () => {} };
let buy = document.querySelector("#buy");
let sell = document.querySelector("#sell");

(function work() {

let founds = +document.querySelector("#funds-fiat").innerText;
let coins = +document.querySelector("#funds-coin").innerText;
let price = +document.querySelector("#price").innerText;

if (founds > price && price < 5000) {
fn = buy;
bougthAt = price;
console.log("bougthAt", bougthAt);
} else if (price > bougthAt && coins > 0) {
fn = sell;
console.log("sellingAt", price);
}
fn.click();
requestAnimationFrame(work);

Also just consider traveling. Take a year or two off or work lightly remote. You’ll meet amazing people. Try and meet locals in each area and not just other backpackers.

There's a "verbatim" option under search tools for that.

I agree with you that that's what I expect from quotes, but... I really think there are way more Google users who do not expect that. A lot of people think quotation marks are the way you do emphasis in English, for instance!

rust-analyzer is a language server, which (along with autocomplete and maybe infuriatingly) I'm not into. I think this mostly reinforces Eli's point, which is broadly that you need a lot of editor support to use Rust reasonably ergonomically.
There is something wonderfully persuasive when someone can connect a modern topic to one that has already been addressed by the ancients.

It feels as if the topic, once thought unwieldy and complicated, becomes tractable and clear.

Perhaps the way to handle complicated nuances situations in life is to connect them to a classic problem.

I feel this strategy also works in mathematical fields.
Making friends is getting tricky and here's why I think. Where most people good friends are from? school, college, work, and the like. What's common to these? You get to spend a lot of time together with the same people which creates bonding. That's the key I think. Later in life it's just much harder to spend a lot of time together, and now with remote work it's worse. You kind of need to work hard and once you find people you like, keep trying to meet them and doing stuff together. In the beginning it'd be meeting for coffee or playing tennis together. Then if things go well it can become something that creates more bonding, like traveling together for the weekend. Keep in mind that it takes two to tango. Sometimes you'll try hard and initiate but the other side won't make the effort. Move on.
I found this read pretty disappointing, mainly because the author fails to define hedonism. Instead, he uses it as a crutch and catch all for pleasure and calls it bad.

A fair assumption is that he defines hedonism as heavy indulgence in sex,drugs, and rock n roll.

If this is the case, the article is basically a ‘don’t do drugs kids’ type of article, with a Viktor Frankl reference to add depth.

That said, as cliche as the article is, it is a nice reminder/PSA that doing hedonistic things isn’t always as fun as it seems, especially not for long.
That would essentially be the difference, yes.

Crepes are mostly the same general idea as pancakes without raising agents; this recipe doesn't contain baking powder because it hadn't been invented yet.

Food evolution is quite interesting. Most recipes we consider traditional standardized maybe 50-100 years ago. A pretty good example of how far a recipe can evolve is how mincemeat pies evolved from containing mostly meat, some fruit, and spices in the 11th century, to the modern incarnation which has no meat and is just fruit and spices.

Who said anything about exits? People are getting rich with ESOP and secondary sales. You seem to be ignoring an entire industry of early liquidation.

>Meanwhile, the only message VPs communicated was the need for high velocity. When I asked why there was no communication about the thing considered the highest risk to the business, the answer was if they sent out a mixed message that included reliability, nothing would get done.

The managers obviously didn't want to use nuance. They openly state that it would then enable those who they manage to negotiate with them, which is a power dynamic they'd rather avoid.

If management was sensitive to the feedback, they could intelligently guide the organization through the trade offs involved, instead of blindly charging forward into subsequent, totally avoidable, brick walls.

Software isn't as simple as making gears. Gears themselves are nowhere near as easy to get right as you think, by the way. When you produce gears, there are well known trade-offs in terms of manufacturing costs, maintenance requirements, and service life. None of that is true with software.

Because the best source of information is with the programmers, and the users of the software, any feedback paths between them should be encouraged, and listened to by management, not crushed to meet the quarterly goals.
WTF is wrong with short men and unattractive women, are they not humans with emotions who can make friends?
In my experience these regular folks are the ones with whom you can have strong friendships that are not just skin deep.

Maybe your attitude of treating unattractive people as beneath you needs to be fixed before you can find meaningful relationships.

One big difference is that your random uncle or sister-in-law can't just read about some trending startup and then semi-blindly invest a chunk of their life savings into it.

Financial regulations prevent the average nonexpert from making those kinds of risky investments in relatively unregulated companies - you have to qualify as an "accredited investor" (i.e. either someone with deep pockets or expertise in financial markets). Publicly traded companies and investment funds are open to anyone, but in exchange they're subject to all sorts of regulations about transparency and accounting rules to make it "safer" for the average Joe to invest in.

DAOs feel like they are really hoping to create an end run around all those financial protection laws.
