Seconded on the Jarvis desk. It's quite comfortable, and holds two monitors and my notebooks easily. The legs and arms of the desk are much heavier/sturdier than I'd expected. The motor raising and lowering the desk is strong, smooth, and quiet.

In all likelihood, you have 70+% of your healthy adult life ahead of you, meaning only a minority amount has passed.

You’ve got skills in a field that pays extraordinarily well (and that I inherently enjoy) and a savings balance that’s around 4x the median household wealth.

You have way more tailwind than headwind I think and your challenge is to go find the fun and enjoyment you’re currently lacking, but moping about how much sand is out of the hourglass isn’t helpful. Best of luck!

A warning: the cheap air monitors don't monitor particle count, just CO2. If you're allergic to pollen you expose yourself to it by opening windows. I've had to help a couple friends who used this and ended up sneezing and sniffling like crazy.

Ive not looked into that approach yet. Our next step optimisation is going to be to manually change our compile checks to check every file changed individually, rather than a full build every change, and catch the cascaded changes on a regular schedule. Best guess is this will end up reducing our ci costs by around 25%, at the cost of writing it ourselves
The mention of blockchain in the summary worries me. We have real world data that shows us this only leads to wasted electricity and fabricated silicon shortages/outrageously expensive computer hardware.

The idea of a public ledger and distributed witness signatures is sound though, and that should be the basis of a government approved system of inter-reserve asset tracking.
But cycling doesn't cut it, right? Especially when you do it daily, you build some kind of immunity.

I love emacs but there’s a learning curve when getting started with emacs.

Do you have any resources to get started with emacs
When you're on that curve, it's indistinguishable until you hit the plateau. We're in an era where AI is continuing to improve and has already surpassed a level that many people doubted was achievable. Nobody knows when that progress will plateau. It's entirely possible that we plateau _after_ surpassing human-level intelligence.

>Add on top of that the X-Y coordinate on images generally have the X flipped and starting at the top left corner. So changing to Lon/Lat doesn't fix everything.

Oversimplified... but:

Most raw/original geo-referenced imagery in the US are projected in a SPCS (state plane coordinate system) in survey-feet, which aren't defined in x,y but n,e (Northing, Easting) or sometimes e,n. This order isn't as universal as x,y, for various reasons. (UTM in meters is also common for larger areas.)

SPCSs aren't all the same type of projections, so Lambert conic (parallel defined) vs Transverse Mercator (meridian defined) (the two most common) means the "first" measurement traversed isn't always the same. (On a sphere, if I tell you to go 100 miles north, then 100 miles east, you get to a different point than 100 miles east, then 100 miles north.)

Being grid systems, this shouldn't matter, but surveyors who used to do manual transformations would get in the habit of the order they regularly used.

So "flipped" is a matter of perspective.

It's one of those things that's a tell for someones educational background and localisms. Surveyor/Geographer/Geodesist vs Scientist/Mathematician/Software Developer.

Did a progammer-first person develop a particular file format, or did a cartography/geography-first person? Or some combination of a compromise?

>I have no "geospatial" background

Checks out.

If you're a learn-by-doing person, I recommend looking up the transformations for a few common CRS/datums/projections and going through the equations manually, either with a quick script or in excel. Check/compare to results from the NGS tools page. The transform steps and math will reveal where order of operations matter.

Good solid-state storage has been the biggest quality of life improvement you can make to a single-disk device for the past decade.

I get a chuckle out of colleagues who ask for copious RAM today, and while I'll usually show them where they can put money to do what they actually need better, this kitchen analogy suffices for most of their use cases:

The hard drive, RAM, and CPU are like the fridge, the prep table, and the stove. In the days of high storage latency and low throughput mechanical storage, it took a few weeks to gather ingredients from the fridge and bring them back to your prep table, so it made sense to buy the largest prep table you could afford to save yourself the trip. However, your stove only had one or two burners, so you were still waiting around for one thing to finish cooking one thing so you could move on to another.

Today, high bandwidth, low latency storage like NVMe means you have an always-on instantaneous portal to the ingredients realm so there's no real need for the extra-large prep table. It's usually better to spend the money on more burners for the stove so you can keep it as busy as possible and get the most work out.

It's a vast over simplification, but I can't help but sigh when someone says they literally cannot do their job without 64GB of RAM and then choose a quad-core or some low-power series laptop.
Large-scale social media platforms are far from "user friendly"; they're advertiser-friendly and influence-peddler-friendly. Big difference. True user friendliness is now to be sought in federated platforms (where you can pick a 'server' that follows your preferred policies) and niche-focused spaces like HN itself, where standards of competence (however defined), collegiality and respect can still be meaningfully enforced.
I recommend data.table instead of tidyverse. The syntax is harder to learn initially, but it's much faster.
Maybe that says more about you than them. You're on a social website right now, engaging with people voluntarily, but you're insisting you're only happy by not connecting with people?

Cut with the claw or you'll be cutting with a claw.

Tuck your fingertips under and rest the flat of the blade against your knuckles. It should not be possible to reach the tip of a finger with your blade. Check some youtube videos and practice. Establishing good knife skills is not only good for safety but makes cooking faster and more pleasant.

Compilers didn't replace any jobs, they created more. Similarly, this type of AI-assisted programming will allow more people to program and make existing programmers more productive.

>Europe is now buying US shale because of it ( = Russian actions). I may hope the pipeline never gets used.

That's exactly what the US wants...but the undrinkable water will no be in Russia...cheers, and the Ukraine....no pipeline use for Russia to Europa gas too, Ukraine looses Russia looses...exactly what the US wants (selling expensive gas...btw second biggest gas exporter for the US is...wait...RUSSIA, so the US buys cheap gas from Russia and sells expensive one to Europa...what a stupid Union)

Would be interesting to see how your mental model of how this should work differs from the inkscape developer's mental model. I would assume there's an easy way to achieve what you wanted to do, wonder why it is so hard to discover it.

Well before I started learning to program, I was carefully reading David Chalmers' early magnum opus The Conscious Mind. I still find myself convinced by the argument: consciousness is a basic ontological feature of reality, the part of reality that constitutes my existence.

I am horrified that we're taking that Cartesian insight to mean we should actually put our consciousnesses inside little boxes that simulate the rest of the grand mystery of reality—because what's the difference if the lie is good enough?

It makes this atheist want to go out into nature and find the Goddess.

Was Go ever "safe from ML" as opposed to "[then] state of the art can't even play Go without a handicap"? Seems like exactly the sort of thing ML should be good at; approximating Nash equilibrium responses in a perfect information game with a big search space (and humans setting a low bar as we're nowhere near finding an algorithmic or brute force solution). Is it really magical that computers running enough simulations exposes limitations to human Go theory (arguably one interesting lesson was that humans were so bad at playing that AlphaGoZero was better off not having its dataset biased by curated human play)? Yes, it's a clear step forward compared with only being able to beat humans at games which can be fully brute forced, or a pocket calculator being much faster and reliable than the average humans at arithmetic due to a simple, tractable architecture, but also one of the least magical-seeming applications given we already had the calculators and chess engines (especially compared with something like playing Jeopardy) unless you had unjustifiably strong priors about how special human Go theory was.

I think people are completely wrong to pooh pooh the utility of computers being better at search and calculations in an ever wider range of applied fields, but linking computers surpassing humans at more examples of those problems to certainty we'll synthetically replicate brain functionality we barely understand is the sort of stretch which is exactly why AGI-sceptics feel the need to point out that this is just a tool iterating through existing programs and sticking lines of code together until the program outputs the desired output, not evidence of reasoning in a more human-like way.

Assuming you're in the USA: NBC bought the exclusive rights for coverage in the USA (through 2032), and what gets shown, and when, and with what commentary, reflects their priorities.

Edit: I just found a fascinating detail on the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC_Olympic_broadcasts#Mike_Ti... which points out that NBC doesn't want Olympics coverage to cannibalize their Super Bowl viewership, which is more profitable.

Where I come from is Almaden Valley of San Jose and Palo Alto, so YMMV depending on where you are. Barely-adequate public schooling doesn't work for my family. Many moons ago, the high school I attended was rich af and an overachiever mecca because of high property taxes and extreme property values. There are also excellent private schools, including some of the more specialized ones for higher gifted and genius kids that regular schools hold back.

In other countries like Finland, they have it right compared to US education system the genius W contributed to breaking: homework has no value, teaching answers to excessive standardized tests (NCLBA) has little value, and grading teachers on immediate performance of said standardized tests has little value.

To solve this problem of finding good schools, I believe word-of-mouth advice from more successful folks is more valuable than any website filled with sour grapes or unverifiable claims made by random, anonymous people. It also can be a problem that better areas tend to have better schools, so no website will be able to find what doesn't currently exist in low population or not-as-nice areas.

There are websites like USNAWR who attempt to rate K-12 schools, private and public. https://www.usnews.com/education/k12

You've had a rich life experience, and you have a very strong personal financial situation. Congratuations. Everyone has ups and downs, you'll find your next goals soon
I agree with all of this, and just want to add a note about mental health; take your stress levels seriously and learn to know your triggers.

While most of us working in tech tend to live pretty cushy lives, but, we are surrounded by silly frustrations and limitless distractions that can sum up and become pretty stressful. Learning to spot, "I'm getting stressed" and finding some way of mitigating this is really important. It changes your mood dramatically.

Interestingly, the three things the parent mentions are actually all good ways of mitigating stress.

A second note: you don't have to do "running" or aerobic exercise if it ain't your thing. I see a lot of people think "exercise" means go running or biking, something aerobic. I tend to think, if you need music to get you "in the mood" to work out, it's probably not your thing. Just experiment. I eventually found olympic weightlifting. I'm now significantly fitter than I was in my 20s as well. The best exercise is the one you feel inspired to keep up with naturally.

Finally, learn to experiment without needing to be "amazing". Just do it for the fun. The whole "Get Back" series about the Beatles was eye-opening for a lot of people, mostly because of how mundane it really was. I don't think McCartney or Lennon ever sat down to write a "profound" song, they just scratched an itch, over and over again.
Ah cool, good to know
Any cryptocurrency, upon becoming established enough to notice, will be regulated at the point of fiat conversion, or as soon as it gains legal tender status. Cryptocurrency enthusiasm is completely oblivious to the fact that currencies are legitimate because they are recognized as such by what people acknowledge as the authorities.

Finance regulation is a wench like that.
> Every lawyer worth their salt in America knows that you can’t get an injunction to prevent someone from publishing something. That’s a prior restraint and is about as close as you can get to something absolutely forbidden under American law.

A lot of contracts people sign (NDAs and federal security clearance paperwork being the two examples that spring to mind) include clauses allowing a judge to issue a prior restraint injunction if you try to violate them.
Your opinion about where you lie on the spectrum of capability has everything to do with your own perspective-building and very little to do with "reality", whatever that is. You're comparing where you are with where you can imagine being, and both of those valuations are fraught with error. One of the harsh realities of acquiring skill and sophistication is that those enable a vision of where you <could> be, which is inherently frustrating.

Perhaps the real problem is finding a sense of satisfaction in your work. The algorithm for acquiring that is fairly straightforward: work your edges, i.e., focus on tasks that challenge your current capabilities, but not too much.
You can refer to it differently, but time progresses at different rates at the different places. So in your example, physical processes (i.e rusting, aging) at place B happen 2X as fast as those at place A.

ISO 19125 is the governing standard for representing geospatial data. This is used in government systems globally, which is the basic purpose of ISO standards, and in many countries (e.g. Western Europe) government systems are required to conform to these standards. This standard is ubiquitous in all of the software tooling for dealing with geospatial data.

Because the storage and interoperability of data is specified to use lon/lat, it strongly influences things that may not be specified by standard. Human user interfaces can do whatever they want, but software systems expect everything in lon/lat order.

I love my Ergodox EZ.

I'd recommend a split keyboard to anybody who has their fingers on keys for more than a couple hours a day. My shoulders and upper back feel so much better, and I swear I even look better because my posture has improved. Much less tendon pain as well.

Furthermore, I'd recommend the EZ or the Moonlander to anybody who can spend the money. I'm sure you get a large part of the benefit from a cheaper split board, but the thumb clusters and custom keybinds are really really nice.
