I do have a buttload(ish) of memory (256GB), but given that I'm running 32 builds in parallel (which themselves often run in parallel) I was a bit worried about the amount of RAM needed for compilation (depending on the linker, things like LLVM can consume huge amounts of RAM during compilation). It's a cool idea though, maybe I'll give it a try for my next rebuild :)

The pipefail bit is a nice trick; I should remember to do this by habit when writing bash scripts (and to send the script through shellcheck)!

Buying a car with a cashier’s check after negotiating lower means no financing charges, interest, credit pulls and just having stored value for a little while. So much cheaper both financially and in time.

Right now my used car is worth more than when I bought it.
You were picking coins in front of a steamroller, and you ended up run over. Sad to say, but that's an expected outcome of such an activity. I wish more people realized it before, not after.
Funny that you mention castling. Most of chess rules were consolidated back in 1500s with barely nothing needing change since. Still, every now and then some absurdity ensues leading to rules change, like the time when FIDE was forced to review the wordings on castle:

https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/lz0w9w/the_puzzle_wh...

Question: Did people not use to play chess before 1972? If every tiny incompatibility with the specs make the game different, then surely people before 1972 were playing a different game? And that's just chess, pretty much every major games see changes in their ruleset practically every year.

You are obviously going to say chess is whatever the rule is in _current year_, sidestepping that philosophical examination. I don't want to get into that either when the bigger problem is in the claim that any deviation makes it "not fit for purpose". If the purpose of a game is to conform perfectly to a spec defined by someone else, then everyone playing football for fun with makeshift goal posts everyday in the field near my house mustn't have gotten the memo.

Exactly how jaded must programmers be from having to follow client's specification all the time to have this outlook?

Great point. It's actually more equivalent than I thought.

The vaccine reduces the amount of hospitalizations necessary to treat COVID infections which means we don't overrun our hospitals.

Much in the same way that the hospitals would be overrun if everyone was driving drunk and sending a high number of people to the hospital via car accidents.

My experience has bit more expansion to this 'mental rule'.

I judge something 'proportional to how much I know about it' and in context when it was developed.

Designers take things outside of the design into consideration. The design may remain alive and in use (but not necessarily the original intended use) way past the original, outside environment.
Nature produces both edible products, inedible products, and toxic or partially edible (tomatoes, potatoes, etc.) products. AFAIK, there is almost no risk in transferring genes from one edible non-toxic product to another edible non-toxic product. For all other gene transfers, testing is required.

No. Having done a startup I wouldn’t ever do another. They usually fail.

Thank you for the warning. Fortunately I'm not taking any medications these days, but in case I do in the future, I'll keep in mind the interaction with grapefruits.

> Here’s a brief and incomplete list of some of the medications that research indicates get screwed up by grapefruit:

Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, and Valium)
Amphetamines (Adderall and Ritalin)
Anti-anxiety SSRIs (Zoloft and Paxil)
Cholesterol-lowering statins (Lipitor and Crestor)
Erectile-dysfunction drugs (Cialis and Viagra)
Various over-the-counter meds (Tylenol, Allegra, and Prilosec)
And about a hundred others.

> In some of these cases, the grapefruit interaction is not a big deal, because they’re safe drugs and even having several times the normal dosage is not particularly dangerous. In other cases, it’s exceedingly dangerous.

Alcohol abuse is rampant in the well to do classes as well, they just buy better stuff that won't kill you as quickly. See Boris Johnson.
Right, this is closer to the following scenario:

Let's say you are on an overpass above a train, and a very fat man is in front of you. The train, if it isn't stopped, will kill 10 people on the tracks. But, if you push the person in front of the train, it will kill 11 people, and one of those would be you committing homocide.

That thing with the fermentation is called the Warburg Effect, and it's the reason why PET scans work.

There are some cancer types where this is more prominent. But even then, it's hard to disrupt this without causing a lot of collateral damage, because normal cells also need to ferment.

Tennis balls.

I get a lot of shoulder and neck pain and I don’t know how I managed before I discovered tennis balls for working out knots in my upper back. I lay on one, and move it around until I find the knots causing muscle strain in my neck. They have just the right firmness to give ratio to really work on tough knots near my shoulder blade that I used to use wall corners to try to work out.
We’re not talking about a few weeks or a month or two. People have had an entire year to find time to go get a vaccine. I completely the idea that 10-20% of people have been trying to find time for an entire year, but just haven’t been able to make it work. Excuses, or lies.

All three examples are false.

US-based cloud providers have servers in the EU.

Time zones are settings on the server, so not sure how that's even related. The EU itself has three timezones, I believe.

Where the person is doesn't matter as long as the data they're accessing is on an EU server.
Which wouldn't be surprising because artistic expression is generally treated differently from political advocacy. For example, calling for concrete acts of violence is in most jurisdictions illegal while the bar for fiction that glorifies violence is quite a lot higher. Same would presumably go for say a fictional work that could be interpreted as giving bad medical advice compared to someone trying to pass as an actual medical professional on a podcast.

edit: here in Germany for example neo-nazi propaganda is pretty much banned, but Triumph of the Will is not. In particular if it becomes a historical time piece which old school gangster rap almost is, it isn't comparable to calls to action.
That doesn't sound far off from a PTO generator, assuming you've got the right interconnects exposed seems reasonable. From my limited understanding most diesel electrics go Diesel -> AC -> DC -> AC -> Wheels. If your taking power from the first AC part the engine RPM determines frequency(as with a PTO generator). Most diesels used in these applications with similarly buffered powertrains(some tractors/heavy machinery with HSTs/etc) have good governors to keep the engine from running away.

From the article it sounded like it wasn't ideal(there was damage to the gearbox from driving the engines down the road).

(as an aside this is why I think a diesel-electric tractor or pure electric would be pretty nifty thing)

Let's say you happened to make a transaction with someone who you didn't know to be a criminal. He buys a nice ring for the girl on his arm and gives you $1K in marked bills (which are bills that have serial numbers recorded by some agency).

Now in that case, he's flashing around cash, which is not that uncommon say in certain locales (Las Vegas comes to mind). In that case, the cash you received doesn't lose any value. Though you may get questioned by the police.

Now ink stained bills and bills glued to each other should be rejected since they were likely from a bank or atm heist. But that makes it easy to spot.

Isn't that what BTC was trying to compete with?
IMHO, stay put. At your compensation, it's going to be nearly impossible to join a startup and have the opportunity cost make sense.

Do what you're doing for as long as you reasonably want to, or until the comp drops off. Hopefully you're saving, and then you can either be a founder or an investor/advisor once you want to get involved with a startup and have it be better worth your time.

>- If I accept a position with 1% equity, the company exit would need to be at least $500M just to match my previous comp.

Layer in some assumptions here and I think it needs to be a lot more than that. I think, currently, it's on average 5-7 years between first funding and IPO, with let's say 5 fundraising rounds. [0] Being optimistic and assuming 10% dilution each round, maybe you have 0.6% at IPO time. To cover that 7M of opportunity cost, you need closer to a $1.2B exit.

This isn't even factoring the odds of picking a winner that actually exits! Unless you really don't like what you're doing right now, it makes sense to keep that going as long as possible, then exit to the couch and do whatever you want.

(Also, someone tell me if I did bad math. I do bad math.)

Have you thought of using something like container snapshots to build the full dep tree of things off shared container images? For example: you build ncurses, snapshot the layer it produces, then use that to build nano, vi, etc.
Samsung had a great touchscreen phone too in the late 1990s. I can't find it or recall the same of it. The phone was similar to the IBM Simon only it was silver with a green monochrome screen. I think it had a PDA and MP3 capabilities which at the time was new. It could be the SPH-M100 but it doesn't look like I remember the screen should be longer like on the Simon.

I was going to get one but I had read it had battery problems and it was very expensive and I had no need for it.

I remember literally over 5 years ago hearing from someone at a big auto-manufacturer, and they just explained, they can't afford to have their cars known for killing people. They sell a shit tonne of cars, and if they start running people over they're done. It'd be an extinction level event for their brand, and probably a serious knock to the entire industry. Apparantly Tesla is happy to take that risk. it's not that Tesla is more advanced, it's that they're happy making claims that no other company in an industry obsessed with safety would make.

Imagine Volvo, but instead of Volvo you have a company that distinguished themselves by their lack of interest in safety.

It's been a pipe dream for a while. Software I view as a form of literacy and this I would see more as a "writers collective" than anything else.

There is an inherent unfairness about a lot of the VC world (#) and while some of that is access to capital for me the big part is that each founder can only bet on one idea, but VCs bet on dozens (in in post YC world hundreds). A collective agreement between the founders evens that out. It is more likely workable as a partnership - a set of senior partners and junior partners.

My bet on this however is that smart engineering will outweigh the pull of massive hiring. Any partnership cannot afford to dilute too much - and the (my) underlying principle is to avoid exploitation. So while it is possible to generate more code by hiring more coders, my experience is that there is always a tipping point after which that becomes a management problem and the cause is lost.

So I am starting to ramble - there is a lot of this in my brain - but yeah please start up your own VC fund - but don't act like a VC and employer - Act like an engineer and a partner :-)

# There is an argument that owners of capital do not want workers to achieve Financial Independence because then their leverage is gone. This is most red in tooth and claw in the negotiations between VCs and first time founders.
Some of these are bad. Pathlib is great for a one-liner to read files, and the “.get()” is broken. If it returns None, you’ll get an error about comparing None to an integer.
Your math is good, but even too conservative regarding dilution. See my reply, I am a living proof of your math.

Make peace with who you are today, and the paths you didn't take. It's the hand you've been dealt by your older self.

The more you spend wanting something, the more energy you drain. The people who age well often limit their focus to a few things. You'll also find that there's a lot of things and experiences that money doesn't buy; it's often best to figure out what experiences matter most to you.

One trick is to learn what death means to you and work backwards from there. Do you believe in an afterlife deep down inside? Do you want to die on a battlefield? Do you care about who comes to your funeral? On your death bed, what are the things you would regret not accomplishing?

Anyway, if you want to make new friends, my email is on my profile. I'm about the same age, similar level of ambition.
Do you need that million a year for anything? Not being facetious; for many people earning that sort of money, their lifestyle wouldn't change if it was cut in half or more.

If you want to work in a startup, then realistically, yeah, you probably wouldn't make as much money. But, well, particularly at that level, money isn't everything. All depends on what you prioritise.

I worked in startups in the 5 people to 100 people range for a decade or so; I now work in a big company, but I'm glad I did the startup thing. That said, it's probably a lot easier to go startups -> big companies than vice versa, from a "what are you giving up" point of view.
Look at the stated goals: "to reduce the death rate from cancer by at least 50 percent over the next 25 years".

Seems reasonable, especially given the rate technology advances these days.
I am one of this people and I would be enthusiastic about such change.

I am stuck on FB purely due to nasty network effects.
good point!!

I am aware that the market has priced in any potential rate hikes but seeing what is going on with the ECB makes me very nervous, not to mention what England just did and it appears there is going to be an inverted yield curve with US treasuries rearing up this week.

Normally I would would lay off any risk in precious metals or other commodities but with what I can only say is very strange action or worse market manipulation for such historical "risk off" places to put my money(Oil/Energy may have been an option last month but I fear the speculators have spoiled that now and the window of opportunity has closed), I am at a loss other than cash as to where to protect my interests.

I feel that cash or fiat is nothing more than a guaranteed loss with all the risk but there are no realistic options other than holding that at this time. A guaranteed loss of 9% is better than 25% or more especially considering the profits seen in the last few years..it almost seems like a tax on revenue TBH( Pay it to the government or the market it doesn't matter).

Some would say BTC might be the answer but I just don't see it. I have seen the correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq in the charts and truth be told I am currently betting against it with some BITI.TO but if and when it hits 6K or below the SP500 I will definitely reconsider.

I feel the only place an analytical person such as myself can find refuge is in extrapolating reason from the charts and history, and although that is considered nothing more than astrology for finance by some...I feel it is the best horse to bet on given these uncertain times of fear, FOMO and manipulation all at the same time.

All which has resulted from the US administrations of both Trump and Biden juicing the markets so much over the last few years. Too much financial cocaine IMHO!!! and the best thing to do when cocaine shows up at a party is hide your cash!!, especially when it is running low!!
Well, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. Spotify already had a pretty terrible track record of removing music (if you've got a playlist more than a few years old, half of it is likely gone), and this is unlikely to improve the situation in any capacity. I intend to backup my playlists tonight and get out of dodge while I still can.

"AFAIK, there is almost no risk in transferring genes from one edible non-toxic product to another edible non-toxic product. "

And where is your knowledge coming from?

I am certainly not a biologist, but as far as I know, there are quite some plants that are edible in the breed we eat - but a different wild form is toxic (carrots for example). How are you sure, the wrong (dormant) genes do not get transfered and activated, without testing?

Or even with the same plant, potatoes. The root is good for us, but the flower is toxic.

In other words, you always have to do extensive testing, when you play around with genes.

Genes are not computer modules you just swap around and turn on and off. It is way more complicated.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks WIRED has gone down hill a bit recently.
I work in the self-driving space. Before I did I was super hype about what Tesla were doing with self-driving and auto-pilot, but once I actually started seriously looking at the safety ramifications of a vehicle driving with these technologies I changed tune really quickly.

A massive problem, particularly with the more capable L4 style technologies is you get lulled into a false sense of security because it'll drive a decent amount of distance perfectly fine right up until it doesn't (and it's normally spectacularly bad when it fails).

Testing purely on closed track or from simulated analysis only goes so far, you definitely need to do public road testing before you can hand it to end-users. But the driver needs to do advance driver training so that they're more aware of the hazards, they need to always be ready to take over (as with an L3 system, even if you're developing L4), they need to fully understand the capabilities, ODD and behaviour of the software, you need to keep the durations/distances short to avoid driver fatigue and ideally you have a second person in the vehicle to keep them honest.

Letting end-consumers use this technology on public roads is insane. It feels to me like the reason Tesla do it is they've boxed themselves into a corner because they've already sold it.
