My constant daydream is machining. So far I learned the basics of FreeCAD, watched a shitton of machining videos on YouTube and researched some lathes and mills.

Unfortunately it is a hobby that requires lots of space to keep the machines and tools.
The cognitive dissonance from pg and people in this thread bending over backwards to square his circle, is incredible.
The amount of knowledge you need for residential is minimal, there is only one voltage (ok maybe multiple phase) and you should only have to think of load per circuit.
Don't know what kind of intuition you really need for new install.
I've considered going back to school to learn a real engineering profession. Something where people solve real world problems based on accrued group knowledge instead of faking it til they make it, constantly reinventing themselves and everything else, living the future they want to exist.

But I think I'm too tainted by software to really be any good at any of that.
I quite like Highsmith's novels. Wikipedia quotes someone as describing her as a "lesbian with a misogynist streak" which seems about right. I think that conflict comes through in the article: she was attracted to women but didn't like them and felt exactly the opposite toward men.

She was supposedly very funny and offbeat. I love this passage (also from wikipedia):

> Highsmith bred about three hundred snails in her garden at home in Suffolk, England. Highsmith once attended a London cocktail party with a "gigantic handbag" that "contained a head of lettuce and a hundred snails" which she said were her "companions for the evening."
I like this recent South Park clip

It essentially is in a couple of states now.
Seems like something who has never been a plumber would say. If they love plumbing so much, I bet there's a ton of pipes in their house they could replace, but would rather live in a fantasy world instead where they imagine their job is worse than being a plumber to aid their self victimization.
I think they have figured out their UI. It’s just not for the thing you care about. It’s “figured out” to maximize revenue.
The Swiss government pays for it's citizens' healthcare, which is likely cheaper than damages paid in international tribunal. Also, these laws are typically very popular, even amongst smokers. Pursuing these laws is a no brainer for the lawmakers.
If a coating wore off, then that was probably a plastic coating over the steel. Stainless steel contains chromium and nickel within the steel. Those metals form a hard protective surface that blocks oxygen. If that surface were scratched, the underlying metals would reform the protective surface upon exposure to oxygen.

Time to trot out my favourite paraphrase of Babbbage: I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.

Suppose another ape and I are out enjoying the State of Nature, and we both should have a round troy ounce of silver in our pockets, with heads and tails as an agreed convention. Suppose I were to say to the other ape, "on whose face does Fortune shine her rays?" and we were to flip both rounds, such that whomever showed heads had the better of it: were it both of us, we would exchange, but one head and one tails, well, one ape will leave the gamble richer and the other skint.

Tell me toolz, how should you prevent this encounter without committing a human rights violation? Show your work, please.
Technology's consumerization[1] has crushed & squeezed out all the earnest genuine enthusiasm & excitement that personal computing & earlier conmected computing brought about. There's no on ramps for humanity to engage in the mediums, to participate & create as a peer tp technology where we are: we are deeply deeply downstream of the act of creation & creativity, using strokes & lines already assembled before us.

Nothing obstructs computing from re authenticating itself, from becoming more than a industrialist workshop. Personal computing will happen again. Open source desktops and phones are doing ok, but the bar is higher- personal computing needs to meet society's new raosed bar & be more connected, working across systems, working across people. Personal systems need modernized technical underpinnings, with coherent, respected, operationalized basis, that both newcomers can start to learn and onboard into, but which the advanced seasoned developer also finds fit to purpose, is interested in tinkering on.

Finding thr community & time to grow, to bridge humanity & technics is a slow project, a much loftier, nobler, harder, & more important quest than selling product. Technics matter in this world. Finding alignment between parties matters, is much harder. Many different pieces need to flow together, each particular & important, building up & up the stack, towards a competitive, flexible, malleable, comprehendible medium of computing. All based around standards, if at all possible, to stir diversification & groth & prevent ossification.

Personally, there's a couple projects i'd list as contendors to re-owning computing: ActivityPub, Kubernetes, Pulsar, Gitea, ForgeFed, Json-ld/rdfa/microdata. Projects like Node-Red, Tekton, Matrix/Xmpp, and Yunohost and the home-cloud folks inspire me greatly & show aspects that are important, but im not sure i believe in them as quite right enough to fully endure. There's still a huge missing hole for what front end systems work & make sense but there are at least lots of interesting social systems built on ActivityPub, matrix and xmpp.

More than the tech itself, I see there as so little joint community. So many dispirate partiuclar projects, of great promise & potential, but in their lane. Becoming more generic, more flexible, creating assemblage we can jointly believe in & practice on is key. We have to find new paths where we can go it together.

I know there are many benefits to self-hosting, but I’ve wondered in the past if it biases language design towards compiler-writing. Depending on the language’s primary domain (maybe with Rust it’s less of a concern), compilers as a usecase can be fairly unusual, in terms of both requirements and what makes them ergonomic to write. So if self-hosting inspires you to shape the language to make early accommodations for writing the compiler, that may not necessarily be the best thing in the long run.
I use notion. I have one doc that's built out as a learning framework. I categorize the different areas I'm learning about. As I come across an insight (blog, tweet, book, news article, podcast), I put a link and some quick notes about it in there. Then, I take time on the weekend to go through and synthesize and pull out the signal. I'm also fortunate to be in a relationship with someone who's into learning just as much as I am. We talk about these things.
Definitely this is the major difference. Most governments will just say to everyone (especially the government of El Salvador) "we warned you!" and probably do nothing, unless that ther are powerful people that can convince otherwise.
I reckon both these jobs plus general building work, are much better than working on computers. We have bodies and _need_ physicality in our work, not just theory.

Those sort of trades do present problems like coding does - your brain is still engaged (a bit). However, I think you are also adding/improving people's lives.

Fix someone's dirty toilet? That is clearly a good thing. I can't think of one thing in my computing career that has been as positive..
A lot of these statements might be factual, but if it's middle class to retire in your early thirties then I've overestimated my lot in life and will be adopting a flat cap and a Whippet on a rope forthwith.
you should use the blocktube browser app, it has a setting where you'll only see videos over X seconds, minutes, or under X seconds, minutes, etc.

Why would stablecoins other than Tether die?
I used to feel like this before I started working from home. Soooooo much less stressful, open plan offices are hell. Commuting is exhausting.

For the first time in my life I feel like I have a sustainable lifestyle that isn't hell to live
Hm. Ok. For me wheel quality is defined as durability and ability to withstand stress under use. My primary interest when it comes to building wheels where it really matters what you make in the application of tandems, in particular long distance touring bikes where you are taking your bike on a holiday, packed with gear and two adults. A bad wheel can quite literally ruin your whole day, trip or worse.

So there are some objective qualities that you could judge wheels by. Consistency is key, and knowing where the limits of the materials used are and how far away from those you are. An under-tensioned wheel is safer than an overtensioned one, the undertensioned wheel will fail gracefully, the overtensioned one will desintegrate.

If you are optimizing for speed of building that's another matter altogether, I was hoping for a clear and objective difference in quality of build.
Of course, grass is greener effect. I will say this urge has been growing now it appears we are past the peak of the web2.0 business cycle and the next proposed ones (web3.0 / metaverse / self driving cars) seem less inspiring to me for a multitude of reasons.
As someone who left carpentry and bartending to become a programmer, I must say, respectfully, many of you have no clue how good we have it.
Have they made Chromecast performance decent yet?

Every time I've used it, there is so much lag that it's unusable for a 2nd screen. Even for non-interactive screen mirroring like letting someone else watch you browse the web or play a game it's jerky and laggy.
Exactly. How many bytes in the much-discussed electron bundle size is the result of lots of little things to support one-offs going back decades? How do you document and maintain all of these things, which were pulled from WebKit, which were pulled from KHTML, which have no real documentation or obvious purpose?
I think because the stereotype is that in a gaming company work life balance tends to not be that good.

I left software shortly after college to start an auto detailer business due to not liking the job. 3 years later, I'm back in software and couldn't be happier.

Sometimes you can't appreciate the good aspects until you're missing them.
>All browser users would be worse off without CORS.

You and fivea are conflating functionality with security.

Yes, it may be functionally desirable for an app to allow cross-origin requests, as enabled by CORS. But, you're granting permissions, and that is opening things up, possibly making them less secure.

I think great-grandparent's point highlighting this is worth making, given that there is so much confusion around CORS.
> Doing work like this for other people is completely and utterly different from working on your own projects.

To be fair this same logic likely is the source of stress for a lot of software engineers. Loving to program and programming for other people for a living initially seems like a brilliant way to make a living. For plenty of people it is, but for some what programming for money looks like and programming for passion look like can be so different as to be depressing.

The hardest part of software engineers in this situation is the money is really good and, all things considers, the job is quite cushy. However having your passion drained by your profession still can be an awful feeling, and that can be magnified by the fact that there's no easy solution.

For me personally I resolved this by realizing and fully embracing that the programming projects I like to do need to be in a completely separate part of my mind that the ones I'm paid to do.

By day I sling mediocre code on arguably useless things because I need to pay the bills, by night I work on a separate set of interesting problems that are related to the day time ones only insofar as they technically involve writing code. If I get a cool insight at work, great, but I've learned to leave my passion at home when I check into work.
Like John Lennon would have said, “Covid-19 is over! If you want it.”
A$24 million is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to the economic cost of tobacco - an estimated A$137 billion per year in Australia alone from lost life, diseases, and lost productivity for tobacco victims and their families.
I opened comments to reply the same comment from Reddit. Grass always feels greener on the other side.
> but you get to decide who you trust

And if you trust the wrong people? Per the linked twitter thread, the author trusted the scammers! They only avoided the scam because they were competent to read the contract code for themselves. Is that the standard you want applied to all transactions? Does that seem likely to lead to good outcomes?
I think that's odd since most good developers I know are generalists - frontend or backend doesn't matter.
Not sure why you link to some website talking about some US court's decision, the author of the spongebob-cli obviously doesn't live in the US.
I’m 38. I’ve beaten the hell out of my poor aging frame. And then fixed a lot of those injuries to my poor aging frame by not playing rugby any more.

All of which to say: there is absolutely no way you are possibly controlling for all variables here. Things off the top of my head that could help with exercise recovery, all of which are more plausible than some poorly tested supplement:

- Changes in exercise type
- Changes in exercise duration
- Changes in exercise intensity
- Changes in exercise form
- Weight loss
- Sleeping more for better recovery
Is the recommendation to replace the cross with machine guns figurative or literal? It doesn’t seem obvious why the cross needs to go if the gun is added?
This is why cryptocurrencies had to be decentralized and censorship resistant, so they can grow whether or not people are fine with it.
I'm the OP. I'm telling you that my account could still be logged into, all data is still there, nothing new or unknown to me, and saved posts are fully available. It's just a "reddit thing", apparently, which really convinces me that it should now become just a source of data (read only approach, moving forward). Not sure how they're planning to scale out, if to IPO and such, if they kick out people at random.
>far less progressive and more racist than CA

As an Indian guy who has lived in both California and Utah, California is far more racist than Utah (and neighboring states), almost comically so.
As other's have said, I don't see how an extra $50k per year would constitute being rich. If I had said "what's the fastest way to 10x $100k" then yes, you'd fall into the trap of speculative assets and gambling. I'm talking more about strategies to make $50k over the course of 12 months while still having time for a full-time job and family activities. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
It's unclear whether that post is based on multiple similar job experiences, or just the single job they're currently in. But the last time I felt like that person (constantly considering what else to do instead) it was actually just the one job (and specifically that manager), not the career.

The first spongebob movie was supposed to be the finale, which was released after the three seasons.
Anyone who thinks banks are still too big to fail hasn't seen the effort that the US Government has spent forcing them to create recovery and resolution plans.
I get why you think it's silly. I'm pretty sure I thought that too when I first encountered it. But I think it makes sense and there is actually a way to support more than one but not wildcard. Multiple origin domains are supported by using the pre-flight request to change the one domain returned based on what is in the pre-flight request.

I don't know what the actual reason was, but I would guess the design decision was made so the multiple domains use case would be infinitely scalable. Otherwise you would run into header length limitations. Imagine trying to fit 10,000 domains into the header! Eventually you'd need something like this implementation anyways.
It is pretty unbelievable how little Intuit has done for the platform post-acquisition. Huge swaths of the tool are broken and worthless and have been that way for going on a decade now.

My HSA and two 401k's have shown errors when viewing stock data for the last 5 years. There is no record of my purchase prices for any accounts.

When Flash was finally killed off, Intuit's response was to screencap the Flash-based UI and re-use it via images: https://i.imgur.com/oIo4jJ6.png. They forgot to make them transparent PNGs, so the light gray Mint background of yore is still there.

Their Flash-based data visualization tool was replaced (with much sighing and fist shaking within Intuit, I expect) with a barebones JS implementation that has fewer features than before. It was clearly just thrown together: it uses browser default fonts and a color scheme unrelated to Mint's palette: https://i.imgur.com/S3o00px.png

So, what has Intuit actually done? Stuff data-grabbing, money-making "features" into the utility (Credit card recommendations! Loan consolidation! Credit score analysis!). They've done no work on the UI's responsiveness, so now the interface looks like this at small resolutions: https://i.imgur.com/52NFaXR.jpg

But, yes, they've done so much work getting scraping and bank connections working that it's the most stable record I have.
Nicole.express is one of the few blogs I check daily. It’s very fun to learn more about RGB graphics, JAMMA edge connectors, and 80s Japanese business blunders from a connoisseur.
Soliton Cellular Automata
The website discusses the mathematical concept of solitons, which are solutions to certain equations that maintain their shape and properties over time. Solitons are related to the mathematical concept of causal sets, which are collections of points that are connected by causal relationships. Finite causal symmetric groups are groups of points that can be connected by a path of causal relationships that forms a cycle. Solitons can be viewed as special cases of causal sets, and finite causal symmetric groups can be viewed as special cases of soliton groups.

Filtrons are a type of soliton that are used to model particle interactions in certain physical systems. Filtrons are related to the mathematical concept of causal nets, which are graphs of points and causal relationships. Filtrons can be viewed as special cases of causal nets, and causal nets can be viewed as special cases of filtrons.

Solitons are solutions to certain equations that maintain their shape and properties over time.

Causal sets are collections of points that are connected by causal relationships.

Finite causal symmetric groups are groups of points that can be connected by a path of causal relationships that forms a cycle.

M = G/H is a fundamental theorem in causal set theory. It states that there exist colonies of points in a set that maintain their shape and properties over time. In other words, M ensures that every point in the colony is associated with a unique value at some point in time.

The website discusses the mathematics of solitons, which are solutions to certain types of equations. Solitons are particularly important in the study of physics, as they can help to explain the behavior of certain phenomena.

Solitons are related to causal set theory and finite causal symmetric groups. In causal set theory, the universe is viewed as a collection of points, each of which is connected to every other point. This theory can be used to model physical systems in which the interactions between the points are important. Finite causal symmetric groups are used to describe the behavior of solitons in physics.
That's why I don't own a car. :P
About a year ago, I saw a handyman with a big sign on his truck about investing in crypto --- with his help of course.

This I took as a sign that the end is near.

The problem is other stable coins are not transparent, and are very likely not fully funded so they can collapse any time. USDC is by coinbase and a little more transparent, thus less likely to collapse in case of mass withdrawal.
Why a plumber? If as I suspect it’s an example of a simpler trade, I would suggest you read up on the skills, problems and challenges required to be a plumber. It ain’t easy.
The people in Schwyz (around Muotathal), Uri (Oberes Reusstal), and Luzern (Entlebuch) are like: Let us encourage our kids smoke that shit! https://abstimmungen.tagesanzeiger.ch/2022-02-13/2/m

Very often you also see which municipalities correspond to big cities and which are more rural areas: https://abstimmungen.tagesanzeiger.ch/2022-02-13/4/m (Bern, Zurich, Winterthur, Luzern voted differently than all other municipalities in their respective cantons).

And on this map you kindof see where the rich people live (Zürcher Goldküste, Zug): https://abstimmungen.tagesanzeiger.ch/2022-02-13/3/m. They voted against this proposal because it would have negatively affected them.
Anecdotally it certainly feels like many engineers are experiencing dissatisfaction, often because of lack of mastery within their section (cue the “web development moves too fast and cycles through too many frameworks and fads” articles).
Love the idea. The editor has rich text capabilities which is not apparent from the sparse interface, should highlight that (not sure how).

What I did miss is the final step of the process, where is the blog hosted. On your subdomain? Do I have to connect my domain? It is not apparent from the website, I had to go into the settings of the app to figure it out.
I think there are degrees of scope, complexity and variability. A software engineer is more likely to have the world constantly changing under them at a pace that is difficult to keep up with.
At an old job, we were next to a window that looked out onto a crossing guard who was there most of the day. We used to say, "That's it, I'm becoming a crossing guard," when work got tough. But ya, I agree, I wouldn't pick anything over tech, no matter how rough it gets.

In terms of "constantly staying up to date", that's a large reason I moved to a tech stack with less moving parts and slower-moving major change. It helps a little.
Yep this is pretty close!
I suppose I am both lucky and rare: I get to experience the "I do what I want to when I want to how I want to" for both my programming and construction work. A useful insight, I hadn't connected them in that way before.
How much was it making when you bought it? What is the profit margin? Have you recouped your initial 100k investment? I've always been curious about Microacquire, but the risk seems very high.
So what? If it's to have fun and hack, does it matter?
Not a plumper, but I noticed a guy driving around washing self-service gas stations. Might not be that great during the winter.

More realistic: I often look at “IT guy” wanted job postings, or “programmer wanted” from companies that shouldn’t need a programmer. One I regret not applying for was a programmer for an auto-parts company.
Basically people need to launder their legitimately earned/acquired crypto just so financial institutions don't flag it.

Thank you for pointing out the connection! What an excellent use of symbolism in a film rich with it. (And D'Oh. Why didn't I think of that?)
Lightning network is not Bitcoin and not decentralised.
I'm inclined to agree, but if enough individual members of major governments are "bought in" to crypto currencies such that their own personal wealth would be at risk, things might be different.

Not the case today, but things shift over time.
