Slight aside, does anyone know of a more modern open source parametric CAD kernel than OpenCascade (which this is built on)?

When I have looked into it before it seems to be criticised for being somewhat dated and not have the power and developer ease as Parasolid (which costs big bucks). Having both a software and mechanical engineering background (I spent a lot of time in SolidWorks) I regularly get the itch to try and combine the two and create a CAD tool.
I have to charge daily (but I wear it the rest of the day, including when sleeping). I usually do it in the morning after my workout as I start work.
I see the three separate branches of government as almost completely different things. While I think drugs should be legalized (or at least decriminalized), the police aren't violating any fundamental human rights by arresting someone for marijuana possession. We need to lobby the legislature to fix the laws.
Then I have to wonder at the quality of people over there. I've had 3 shots and none of those shots took me down. In fact I was still able to work.

In this case digital signature is not required (unlike official microcode update instructions), I guess. Otherwise there's no news.
I would say this is bad advice. Don’t learn base R, focus on tidyverse. Tidyverse is what people write and use.
I mean I'm not so impressed, because it seems like someones figured out the ventriloquist trick and and is just spamming it to make anything talk. Its fun enough, but unclear what this is achieving
Just replace the backup with what I said: an “account” you pre-created, which you don’t use until you need it.

You can create N “accounts” which are not tied to devices. In fact, that would also be good for a quotum to “outvote” whoever found M devices, to repudiate them. (Otherwise it would have been a stalemate.)

Using “virtual accounts” you can bootstrap from one private key + U of V keys from a set that you gave to friends + family, to reconstitute your account should something go wrong and you lose ALL your devices.

So, just to be clear: either a private key is stored in a device, or it would have to be paired with U of V other keys that you gave out, in order to activate a new device one time with that key.

But the real provisioning and repudiation of keys would be in a smart contract on the blockchain. That is — pardon the pun — the key to the whole thing :)
Oh it's interesting, but I have limited time in my life, and I don't think the patterns you note arise in this instance or are indicative of poststructuralism in general.
For cli use es.exe

If you install via chocolatey, it installs both tools and makes es available on the PATH (I maintain this package): cinst everything

Then you can use it in CLI such as: es foo
Usually manual coffee making can be just as good or better than a machine, or at least much cheaper for the same quality. You can make very very good coffee with a $40 pour-over or french press.

French press doesn't really have a machine equivalent that I can think of though, it's sort of in its own category of coffee.

IMO a good burr grinder is good to have no matter how you make your coffee. If you don't already buy whole beans they're much fresher, and if you do but use a blade grinder the burr grinders do a better more consistent job at it.

I'm building a comment system along the same concept right now. The best part for me is - well, I hope so - that it filters quick and angry comments. Like OP suggests: visitors going through this small hoop probably leave interesting comments. Didn't know about lowtechmagazine having this kind of comments system, but that's definitely an endorsement for the concept, if you ask me. To filter spam, I base my system on the spam-filtering contactform I already have.

Besides: OP, I 'follow' your website by RSS now. Or should I send you an email to tell this!? ;)
You never see any source in these articles. It is hard to imagine that Bitcoin would be useful to sex workers with it's transaction fees and speed. Smaller cryptocurrencies perhaps, but not Bitcoin.

The drawback of no regulation is that it tends to create opportunities for organized crime, including sexual exploitation and trafficing.
> If you are part of maintaining, propagating, and continuing a system, are you not an equal part of that system and the things done in its name?

Yes, I think you can make this case. However, it isn't appropriate someone charged to execute enforcement of the law to ignore the laws they don't like. The only valid exception would be laws that aren't legal and therefore invalid.
Why the editorialisation? This is a list of supposedly "evil" tech companies.
Roughly half/half, skewed more towards improvements in algorithms.

Measuring the Algorithmic Efficiency of Neural Networks: https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.04305

In this work, we argue that algorithmic progress has an aspect that is both straightforward to measure and interesting: reductions over time in the compute needed to reach past capabilities. We show that the number of floating-point operations required to train a classifier to AlexNet-level performance on ImageNet has decreased by a factor of 44x between 2012 and 2019. This corresponds to algorithmic efficiency doubling every 16 months over a period of 7 years. By contrast, Moore's Law would only have yielded an 11x cost improvement. We observe that hardware and algorithmic efficiency gains multiply and can be on a similar scale over meaningful horizons, which suggests that a good model of AI progress should integrate measures from both.

Mastering Atari Games with Limited Data: https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.00210

Reinforcement learning has achieved great success in many applications. However, sample efficiency remains a key challenge, with prominent methods requiring millions (or even billions) of environment steps to train. (...) This is the first time an algorithm achieves super-human performance on Atari games with such little data. EfficientZero's performance is also close to DQN's performance at 200 million frames while we consume 500 times less data. EfficientZero's low sample complexity and high performance can bring RL closer to real-world applicability.

500x improvement over ~10 years since DQN that roughly 2x improvement in sample complexity every year.

A Time Leap Challenge for SAT Solving: https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.02215

We compare the impact of hardware advancement and algorithm advancement for SAT solving over the last two decades. In particular, we compare 20-year-old SAT-solvers on new computer hardware with modern SAT-solvers on 20-year-old hardware. Our findings show that the progress on the algorithmic side has at least as much impact as the progress on the hardware side.

AI research has also tiny budgets compared to the biggest scientific projects:

> If your programming no longer excites you, learn something new in programming, or even learn something that isn't programming and do that.

This is the key right here. If what you used to do is no longer exciting you, it is time to try something else. This often means getting out of your comfort zone, and there is no guarantee that the new thing you try will excite you. But if that happens, at least you tried. Every discovery of something that doesn't interest you is a step closer to something that does.
I don’t see a war being mentioned anywhere. The rhetoric is purely about the influence of authoritarian governments on elections. So the question still stands.
Yeah a nice 60-100$ flashlight is a pleasure to use
I agree completely. I bought a Keychron because they're reasonably cheap and have ISO layouts available. I hear online that the case feels cheap, the keycaps are low quality, etc. The only explanation to me is that these things are written by people who don't actually use them as the tools that they are. I've been typing on mine for about 6 months now and it has been great other than the RGB occasionally turning itself back on for some reason.
I think no one really knows whether DeFi can be really safer than OldFi. Since it's old, we sort of know what to expect. In DeFi we obviously are still discovering.

I dislike OldFi and want to contribute to a new, healthier system to serve people in general. But, short term, risk of DeFi is obviously higher due to its imaturity.

OldFi has been maturing for 100's of years. Perhaps we could argue 1000's. It'll take at least 20-50 more years to reach a similar maturity in DeFi.

By maturity I mean: people understand the risks and know what to expect.
That’s a 6 year old laptop. Highly dependant on what you compile as well.
No judgement at all.

I often find the people that actually enjoy teams have never really used anything other than Microsoft messaging solutions professionally.

I usually speculate that it’s because people have never seen anything better than what Microsoft can put out, but there’s the possibility that the way you think about things when that’s your entire ecosystem is different than the way I do.

What I’m saying is: I’m not saying that you’re wrong for liking it, I’m saying that we can be different; and the bigger annoyance is that these closed platforms do not permit client choice. Maybe.

I don't have any performance problems and I use Inkscape quite extensively. Although I am using it on Linux. I always got the impression Inkscape and Gimp both work best on Linux.

I really like Inkscape quite a bit. But it took a lot of relearning after using Illustrator for decades. Once I got over that hump, I have very few complaints, especially for the price.
> Apple has paid more back to their developers than any other company in the business. Billions and billions.

Yeah, we're going to need a citation here. The only goodwill that comes to mind is their lousy 60gb IDE and the half-finished Swiftlang. They certainly didn't pay for any of the cool BSD features they took from open source devs, but why should they? They're the multi-billion dollar corporation and they're the ones who decided to use permissive licensing, amirite?
Indeed. I appreciate the self-deprecation of the person recognizing they aren't an expert but are in the space anyhow.

Usually Dunning-Kruger is present.
And 18650 powered flashlight, such as one made by Fenix. (Also note they make a keychain flashlight which could stand in for the device in another toplevel comment.) The 18650 is more your standard flashlight though. I used to have a flashlight, who doesn't? But now I consistently take one when hiking, looking for stuff, etc. The brightness and even cast of the beam, plus the long battery life, mean it has a lot of utility for working at night or in a poorly lit space. You can use it as a lantern, too, just stand it up or hang it. Bonus points for USBC charging.

An insulated mug. I didn't think it would change the way I drink tea. Now I can bring it to my desk and take small sips. This helps me get back to work and stay focused, and probably reduces my overall consumption because I don't feel like I have to chug while warm and then go brew more.
Yes, it should work. You aren't in any disagreement actually. It's just that no one has done it yet, but should have.

The $500k in savings means that you actually have the option to step off the corporate treadmill and consider what else you want to do with your life if you so desire. Even if it won't be enough in San Francisco, it might be enough to live off of in Mexico or in some less central city or state. You could also invest the money, though with market valuations and economic outlooks being what they are, this is admittedly an exceptionally scary time to be investing. Even so, this might be something to consider further down the line.

Economics aside, it seems like part of the problem is that many people your age already have families, and you're now unsure how to make friends who are your age. One thing you could do is seek out people in a similar situation to go to the festivals with, or to go to bars with, or on trips. And if you should happen to meet a bunch of 20-somethings who want to get to know a 35-year-old, then why not?

Either way, you should probably ditch the idea that opportunities are somehow unavailable to you, and instead focus on how you're ready to move on to a new stage of your life. Whether that stage will involve career changes or travelling or moving or anything else will have to be your decision, but it sounds from what you're saying like it may involve building new friendships.
I can't recommend the "R for Data Science" (https://r4ds.had.co.nz) book enough, which is written by one of the creators of the tidyverse, Hadley Wickham. This opinion might get challenged here, but if you're going to use R primarily for data science/analysis and not for programming I think it's a better idea to start learning it with the tidyverse than with base R (beyond the basics, of course, which are also covered in the book).

I use R professionally for biostatistics and I can't remember the last time I had to use the base syntax because something couldn't be done with the tidyverse approach.

Mine too. I currently have a streak of 1004 consecutive days of closing all three rings going on.

> Closing the rings is now an obsession and I’m better for it

So far I've not become obsessed about it. It is more that I've changed my habits so that I'm more active.

There have been a few times where before the watch I might have skipped my morning walk due to something like waking up with a sore ankle, without even checking to see if it was a "you slept on it wrong and the soreness will go away when you move it a little" kind of soreness or a "OK you actually did hurt it yesterday and should just stay off you feet all day" kind of soreness. Now I check, and so far it has always been the former.

I'm thinking of intentionally taking a day off and missing closing all the rings just to keep from accidentally becoming obsessed over the length of the streak.
I went through it. You need to find yourself a partner. Soon you'll start having fatherly feelings. And then you'll have kids. And then it's a whole new ballgame.

It happened to me in early thirties. I mean, how much beer can a person drink and how much bars can a person visit before it gets old? One day I just started thinking to myself how I would like to have another human being around and take care of it. Pass some of my knowlegde and experience to it. Luckily I had a wonderful wife and we went for it. Two kids later I have never been so exhausted and happy.

That's my experience, maybe you take something from it. Whatever you decide, good luck!

Recently. Also, subtract inflation, which has been uncommonly low in recent years.
The fact that inflation is at 49% should be the first clue that Turkey does not have well-functioning institutions. In addition to Turkey's numerous economic problems, there was a coup attempt as recently as 2016, and the government has been accused by international human rights groups of using the judiciary to persecute journalists and political opponents. How does Tether, or crypto in general, help solving any of these problems? Not to mention that Tether Inc., the corporation that issues Tethers, has never been audited, and has zero accountability to holders of Tethers. Holding Tethers entails a huge risk.
Oh, I fully expected it. And let me be the first to say, a lot of people are having kids at the wrong time and with the wrong people, which is worse than waiting. But IMHO there is a huge cultural malaise with individual psychological consequences in developed nations not promoting childbearing, even in ones with strong social safety nets.
I don't doubt that social life is important even for introverted people, but this advice[1] in particular would be quite painful for me, even if it's in a small group. The hitrate (micromarriage rate) would be too small. Wouldn't it just be a few hours of small talk 95% of the time?

I am happy with a small handful of friends. If I'm going to add new ones, there has to be a significant overlap in interests that makes the company particularly enjoyable and non-draining. Probably a more interest-specific/targeted approach than Meetup (although maybe Meetup is capable of that, I am not familiar with it)?

Maybe I should try it out and see for myself, though! Could be one of those things that's pleasantly surprising.

We're not so different in age, and I'd be lying if I said I never feel the way you describe. However, these are some things that helped me, in increasing order of importance:

- Health. Covered already, but I'd add that you don't need to be in marathon shape. Just hit the basics: sleep, exercise (walking is enough!), diet. It's easy to feel things are ok in any of these dimensions but actually be out of whack.

- Do things with your hands. Humans develop insofar was they learn to manipulate the physical environment around them. This is one of the tenets of the Montessori pedagogy, but I found that it doesn't just apply to kids! I feel _great_ when I install a toilet, paint my living room, fix the car. There's just something about physically doing stuff with your hands.

- This one is hard to describe...I took inventory of my 'philosophical operating system' and realized that I was organizing my life around something without legs. In my 20's I was heavily influenced by stuff like '4-hour-workweek' (lol), the gary-vees, the pg essays, etc. It's not jut practical advice...it's a philosophical system and worldview. When I looked under the hood, it was all spaghetti code. It couldn't stand up to more cogent and complete philosophies, which I found literally down the street.

This is exactly what I have. An IKEA knife I’ve had for the past 20 years or so. I’ve always kept it sharp, but the game changer in the past few months was reading advice to sharpen it every time I use it. I do that now, just a little bit, and over time what you end up with is an insanely sharp knife. I also have a sharpening steel, like the kind used in commercial kitchens, but I much prefer the stone.
