> Electrician, on the other hand?

Still involves a surprising amount of carpentry. And finding where the hell the wires were run in other people's "wtf were these fools thinking?" grade framing. and other fun stuff.
Really an amazing lack of breadth in the issues raised.

Does anyone here ever walk away from computers for a minute?

Here's a contrarian view that's sure to piss off almost everyone here:

Keeping and manufacturing animals for the purpose of human emotional support is a mental illness.
At train scale, the problem is solved by trains.

I guess I'm talking about the earlier game, where I've seen many, many players 'get stuck at blue science'.

A lot of players get stuck there because you need to advance to the 2nd iron patch around then, because the starter patch is too small to sustain red circuit production.

Or I guess you can wait like 10 hours for that small patch to make enough red circuits.

But yes, a well designed train network solves the problem. But that's a nonobvious step for many players.

--------

Main bus style does work through that stage of the game, but requires preplanning.

--------

If you wish to keep your old design (aka: no restarts), building a 2nd base and connecting the two bases up (either with trains or belts) really is the answer.

In any case, the game's default settings force you to expand in the blue to purple science period, before all options of the tech tree are available.
This is my thought as well. There are still good reasons for using inheritance. In the right use cases, overloading methods can be a life saver. But generally, I have gravitated away from using those patterns, and toward things like composition, which are simpler and seem to be much less fragile.

Recently, I've enjoyed the simple utility of python's functools library. Small-inheritance-like functionality seems to find a happy medium in a lot of cases, while avoiding a lot of unnecessary abstraction and boilerplate.
It's literal. The red cross is supposed to mean that it's humanitarian, neutral and carries no weapons.
Here's a link that seems to cover the basics of this history (but doesn't seem to get right down to the nitty gritty spitting incident).[1]

For me it's trying as much as possible to get my happiness/satisfaction from something that's under my own control as much as possible. Being in a trade is the exact opposite of that because you're 100% dependent on people telling you what they need done. As others have pointed out, every job sucks to some degree. And unless you're truly operating in isolation you'll always deal with people, most of whom you don't share any common ground with. Try being in a trade as a woman, a person of color, trans, etc and you'd quickly realized what a privileged cushy field we're in. Not saying there isn't discrimination among us but our field in my experience tends to be on the more progressive, tolerant side of things.

None of what we're doing here matters at all in the grand scheme of things. At least the vast majority. We're not contributing to anything useful only a broken economic system, we're not making the world a better, more sustainable, more peaceful place. It's the opposite, the people that contribute more division, get paid the most it seems. Once I realized that I was able to steer my attention to opportunities that at least contain a sliver of something positive, be it supporting movements, clean energy, something that on your death bed you could argue didn't make the world a worse place. Personally, that's all I think I can do because at this point in my life I'm not in a position to make any larger positive change by myself on a societal level.

I'm sorry if this is too ranty, I'm just in a very negative headspace these days with everything that's going on.
Somebody really needed to write this comment. The HN community thanks you.
For iOS you can sideload https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus or Cercube or something.
I didn't do the math, but can't imagine that leaving a TV on/off for ~9 hours (guessing that's how long time OP works + transit) has a huge impact on the total carbon footprint from that household, but I might be wrong. Care to show how it's actually "incredibly wasteful for the whole world"?
Damn, I nailed it. I had no idea, this was purely based on personal experience.
>The day that tether, and all of the other "stablecoins" die.
Typical hn comment, miss crypto opportunities and so decides to fantasize about everyone losing money so you feel better with yourself.
FIY, there are many stablecoins out there that use different ways to keep the peg and others that are simply more trusted and secure.
A good way to find out what is actualy going on, is to look a Uniswap info (which is the most honest data out there) and you will see that people have elected USDC and DAI as their stablecoins of choice.
A reminder, cryptocurrencies are usualy based on consensus, everyone knows tether is parcialy backed after some of their funds were siezed by the gov.
DAI has held its peg even when ethereum tanked, usdc has been transparent. Both have nothing to do with tether.
No cryptocurrency will not die, not all stablecoins will die (some probably will) and no santa is not real either.

Get yourself a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P30BQE/

I use them all the time. Cable management under desks, tile work, electrical. I wonder how I went so long without them.
HTTP/3 pretty much performs like HTTP/2 there. You kind of have 2 options:

1. Make as many requests/responses as you require, and let the mulitiplexing of the protocol level do the job for you. Still might mean extra latency for sending another request to get the next chunk of data, but you might be able to send it ahead of time (long-polling style).

2. Make a single request, and stream all data bidirectionally in the request and resopnse body. bodies can be almost infinite and if you are using a custom library you can use them however you want. E.g. put small delimited messages into it in either direction - which is what gRPC streaming is doing. This will require libraries which actually support streaming, and not just Request->Response. Especially browsers are tricky here.

All those options have in common that you get reliability and flow-control in them. If you don't want to have that - because you maybe e.g. rather want to skip outdated data - then building on a lower layer like directly on QUIC makes more sense. This capability might come to browsers with WebTransport.
A lot of it depends, I think, on what it'll be like for people to look back on past achievements at age 65+.

If it's a case of "oh, in fact most of my career was (re)building things that weren't really required in order to consolidate power and to reduce the strength of democratic society and institutions", that could be a bad time.

If it's more along the lines of "I genuinely helped to improve the lives of a large number of people by assisting them in doing what they want to do day-to-day, extending opportunity, access and freedom" that could be better.

Plumbing, baking, carpentry, etc seem to be more likely to unambiguously fall into the latter, happy category -- although I think software can, too.

Regardless, for many of us, a way to opt out of the moral quandary is simply to say "oh, well it pays the bills well and is not physically demanding".
Maybe it’s only a fraction of his coins in that wallet? Maybe he does have other wallets with similar amounts or more, but just doesn’t admit to it?
Depends on what they're tied to and how leveraged they are: anything backed on some other cryptocurrency will likely have a massive crunch if Bitcoin staggers, and if the largest “stable coin” turns out to be as fraudulent as it looks everyone is going to get hit by both a wave of people cashing out into USD/EUR/etc. and a ton of demands to prove that their collateral is as solid as claimed, which the first trend will make a lot harder.
It also misses that it's not an _ordinary_ sweet potato.
Apple has been an ARM licensee since they were a founding shareholder in ARM. They used it in the Newton, but now of course it's ubiquitous in their products.

The effort to design their own instruction set (including all the tooling) would not be trivial, but probably not enormous for them given their scale. And given their scale, their license must be cheaper than the cost of that activity, because you know Cook would pay it if it would save them enough down the road.

"regulators to be happy with it"

What world do you live in?

All regulators are increasing regulation and oversight on crypto, whether it's the western world, China or Russia.

Well, it's certainly contrarian. ;) Point might be better made, though, if you didn't use "manufacturing" in reference to living beings.
But who decides what is classified as addictive or not and what gets allowed and what censored? I certainly wouldn’t want a monopoly making the decision.
Yes but from what i recall, evolution doesn't work like that at the level of population.
So, while I knew that this had been offered in back channels, I failed to realize that this was not only confirmed to me in e-mail as well as publicly announced: Boba (one of the forks of Optimism that was affected by this same bug) has additionally extended to me their maximum bug bounty reward of $100k, making the "updated total" awarded for this bug (so far ;P) $2,100,042 (which more firmly might be setting a new record).

> there is plenty of work for those who are old and mediocre. ;)

Agree with everything you said including this one.

The point I was trying to make isn't that there won't be plenty of work for us. There always will be existing code to maintain and update.

The point I was trying to make is that development is rarely done in isolation, so you'll likely have to work as part of a larger team.

It's extremely likely that the majority of that larger team
will be much younger than you and will be playing an exact copy of the JavaScript games you're playing now, but with ShinyNewLang.

So my question was - when that happens, would you, with the experience you will have by then, be mentally OK playing those games?
It had to be said because it's largely correct!

Everyone says that but what specifically are you looking for? What’s the social media equivalent to no smoking indoors?
>The grass IS greener on the CS side of things though. There literally is no denying it. We see a hyper focus of the bad on here but if I'm being frank, many people on here went into CS as their first Job and have nothing to compare it to. You're not going to find another broad career field that gives you the same financial freedom for time invested in learning your field. Pick up a hobby if you're missing that salt of the earth feeling too much. Doing that shit to barely live in many instances is not the same feeling as having it as a hobby.

I'm positioning myself to be able to take a 3 month vacation once every 2 years or so. Since I really want to travel outside the US working remote outright is a bit harder, but I could live in the US Virgin islands, or Hawaii right now while keeping my amazing job.

Not having to move, even after getting a major pay bump last year was a giant perk. I also make enough so I can just not work , i'd move into a cheaper place but I don't need to work for a good while.

Compared to real America, where working class people skip medicine. I can explain it this way, I have a very treatable illness. For a very nominal amount of money, less than I spend on a night out, I'm able to stay healthy. If I was poor I wouldn't be able to afford my meds. Even with Medicare, how do I get to the doctor ? That means taking time off work, that means spending 100$ on an Uber round trip.

Software Development is VERY VERY easy.

> Let us encourage our kids smoke that shit!

Or - maybe there are still folks who believe freedom actually matters and a citizen's duty is to keep government interference in people's lives at a healthy minimum.
Not to poorer countries it isn't. The cost of legal action quite literally scared off South American countries from adopting similar measures.

And I wasn't clear: I don't oppose the Swiss government's action. Not in the slightest.
Agreed, in that case that wouldn't work.

But honestly, how often does one have to skim that many papers in a day, to a level where the freely available abstract is not sufficient?

Perhaps every once in a while when one compiles a survey of a new field they enter. Once the project is set on the rails, one rarely has to read that much.
>An under-tensioned wheel is safer than an overtensioned one

Well...an undertensioned wheel is a recipe for broken spokes. Why not correctly tension a wheel? The correct tension is quite a lot higher than most builders go. An overtensioned wheel is not very easy to produce, at high tensions truing the wheel becomes super-critical in that tiny changes move the rim absurd amounts, and that is the point to back off.
Hope your covid gets better. How does one "jump" into Pascal?

I used Pascal in 1992 programming in high school on a Mac LCiii, and never really thought about it again. Do modern compilers even exist for this language?

What genuinely curious what you could possibly want you to program in Pascal let alone prefer using it for anything meaningful?

Agreed it is interesting. The US dollar has a similar dynamic. The degree to which a currency is fungible should incorporate its corruptability.
It's only rational if you ignore the secondary effects on others. It could increase community spread and ICU usage and thus increase the risk of death for others who didn't make that choice. The other likely causes of death (heart disease, cancer, and stroke) do not spread.
Indeed, I have assumed it's all in the implementation patents, but designing around them can be easier said than done.
I have worked as a steel worker in a construction site. The pay was shit but I got a really nice toned body, good skin, girls looking at me, all day banter in the workplace and parties afterward, I went from being a depressed anxious nerd to a talkative hot dude in about 7 months. Sometimes I wonder if I should go back but I am earning 10 times more than the people around me which allows me to travel (before covid) and have almost anything I want, it's a hard decision.
I think the software world has to slow down anyway. Now there is software anywhere build in and has just to work. Things could last for 50 years before software. Now everything need updates all the time because things are unfinished.

I'm in industrie automation and everything with software gets worse really update by update
But you don't have to to ruin your body. You can get a standing desk and a gym membership (remember, you have money) and stay perfectly healthy. Crawling in tight spaces, on the other hand, will ruin your body and is not necessarily avoidable.
> We were not sure about the extent of the damage

> He charged a cool $350 to simply replace the tap

No, he charged you $350 for his knowledge that replacing the tap was the right solution in this case. If all you had to do was replace the tap, you could have done that yourself and saved a bunch of money. But you didn't know that was all that needed to be done; he did. You paid for his knowledge, not simply the act of replacing the tap.

> I recognize that I have the privilege of not sacrificing my body and health for my income.

Sitting for longer periods in any amount is incredibly bad for one's health long term, every study on the subject has confirmed this.

You are sacrificing your health, just in a different way.
A few weeks ago, I had a plumber round and he wanted to become a programmer.
I have worked as an electrician. It's not particularly a clean trade and you get spaghetti too, in the form of hundreds of wires of the very same color and air conditioners connected to the lights circuit.
I’d go back for the PhD in land use economics I turned down and get to work on smart ideas for dealing with relocating soon-to-be-submerged populated areas.

It’s effectively similar to plumbing or anything else — a trade off to a different scale of problems and pressures.

Once the equipment is paid for, they could keep running the generator even if it's not competitive anymore. The fuel is free and they still need to burn off the methane.

If the electronics needs be taken out, I suppose there are heaters that are lower maintenance. But maybe someone decides that the generator is worth reselling?
> What if you have a legacy codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines of C you want to maintain and improve?

We know that smaller projects have successfully gone on the journey of moving from C to Rust, and they did so the same way you a whale right? One bite at a time.

So that might absolutely be a reasonable choice. Things that could make it especially attractive:

* There's existing Rust skill set in your team and not checked C

* You intend to do other new work in Rust, so this is a skill set you'll be needing anyway.

* There is relevant existing work in Rust e.g. today you use a popular C library for processing radar data. You know an equivalent library (or a port of the C library) is available as a Rust crate, if you went with Checked C, either the library isn't checked (partly undoing the good work) or you have to also translate the third party library to checked C.

* The main benefit you were looking for is something checked C doesn't care about e.g. freedom from data races is a pretty big deal for concurrent software, and checked C doesn't do that today, and has no plans to do it in future but such races aren't possible in (safe) Rust. Or you wish you had nice built-in features like iterators.

* Or the opposite side of the same coin, the main thing you dislike about C is still present in checked C. Maybe you don't like C's silent wrapping overflow, in checked C it's still there, but in Rust you can switch it off. Maybe you don't want the integer fifteen to be silently considered boolean "true" because you thought this programming language was supposed to have type checking, Rust is with you on that, Checked C of course is not.
I started my career in trades so no I don’t long for that. I do think about leaving it all behind to be a musician tho. I look at my circumstances of stupid salary, never leave the house if I don’t want to, and my level of comfort and compare to all my musician friends who make nothing, always working a side job or on the road, sleeping and eating like shit, and I 100% don’t want to trade. If I never had to think about money again I’d write a lot more music tho
Not sure how you understanding "laundering" but legitimately earned cryptocurrencies does not need laundering in any sense, just a explanation about where it comes from, like when you receive any other large amount of money to your bank account. This has happened to me (the bank approached me asking where it comes from) both when "selling" large amount of startup stocks/options and when receiving money from selling legitimately earned cryptocurrencies on a exchange (the cryptocurrency exchange approached me asking where it comes from).
Some years ago I had a friend who agreed to do some tile work for some other mutual friends. Midway through, I was at the "client's" house talking with them, and they were complaining (not bitterly, but perplexedly): "We just don't get it, Steve finishes and says he'll be back in the morning but then he doesn't show up for 5-10 days". I shared in their amazement - it seemed so rude, so unnecessary. Why would you do that?

A few years rolled by and I found myself doing construction stuff for friends. "See you in the morning" I would say as I left, and then find myself returning a week later. There's even a situation now where I've left an absurdly simple final task helping one of my neighbors with some minor repairs ... I think I told her 3-4 months ago that I'd be back in 2 days.

I don't really understand why this happens, but it did give me some insight into a whole extra layer that is required from you when doing work for other people: you have to go back, tomorrow, even, over and over until it is done.

Now this certainly applies to any regular (well, contract?) employment too, but there is something different about construction that I think requires a different kind of personal character to enable you to fulfill the implicit obligations.
