I've cut out a lot of foods permanently. Most notable are caffeine and sugar (sucrose, fructose). It will take a few tries but you're better off without it.

Regarding caffeine, I would drink a lot of soda each day, like 4+ Mexican cokes. The first month is terrible. You will have an initial withdrawal, then just be in a slump. I am the type of programmer to work on side projects after work and I couldn't. I decided to give it a month, but was legit considering starting again just because of that.

First month mega slump. Second month it's getting better. After that you're no longer dependent.

It's amazing how dependent everyone is on it. You hear, oh it doesn't really affect me, I just like the flavor of coffee, but I don't buy it. People are super addicted and coping. Caffeine doesn't give yourl energy, it just takes away the symptoms of your withdrawal.

Note, it did not fix my sleep schedule. Bright screens are kinda the last factor I can blame for that so I'm experimenting with eink and reflective lcd screens.

You don't need it. Water is the one true beverage. It's amazing how little water most people drink.
I just want to say I'm impressed by your intellectual generosity here!
> clearly we can just fabricate our way to more land in desired areas

We do it all the time:

1. multistory buildings

2. vertical farms
I think you may be misunderstanding what this is... All of these documents were ALREADY public records, and were ALREADY available online. Most US courts have been publishing these records online, for a while now.

And they are ALREADY other websites/search products that provide a unified search interface... Lexis Nexus is probably the biggest/oldest, and I believe Bloomberg also has this feature... There are dozens (if not hundreds) of cheap public record search websites that charge $10/month for it, too.

If you're surprised by all this, you haven't been paying attention... For a few decades now.
Ignoring possible hypothesis makes it harder to find the truth especially when they are true
Note that's only in the "proposed changes section, and that there is still much more information in that document. That change seems to determining how much of a town is an urban tile, but is not the primary designation of urban.
The common case may be fast, but it's still slower than not having a rare case in the first place. The untaken branch will still affect register allocation (out of the ~15 x86-64 general-purpose registers, only 5 (6 if you count rbp) preserve data after a non-inlined function call in the System-V ABI (of which there will be at least one, ending in malloc somewhere), and the compiler has to accommodate both taken and untaken at the branch end) and will eliminate any hope of SIMD vectorization, among other wrecked optimizations.

Unchecked operations are acceptable if your code has a single hot loop, but if you have a hundred small functions, each taking 1% of the time, you probably won't carefully examine every stdlib function each of them uses and write code to "work around" every unnecessary thing the stdlib does.

Yes, that's a ton of micro-optimization, but micro-optimization can bring a ton of speedup, so I'll take whatever makes it simpler (or not needed in the case where you already know what will happen due to having written it)
Squeezing Performance from SQLite: EXPLAINing the Virtual Machine
Seems closer to a form of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
Given that one third of Americans have criminal records of one sort or another, so that somebody almost certainly has a criminal in their family or near circle of friends, I suppose criminality is about the same as finding out somebody watches porn.

on edit: actually one third is probably overstating but close.
Mozilla is not a Linux distro.

You have made dozens of negative (and sometimes rude) comments in this thread. I'm curious why you're spending so much time and energy being negative. If C isn't something you're interested in, why not just ignore it and move on?
I think at some point, it will become a competitive advantage to sell devices and platforms that are not locked in. Kind of like the way Linux crushed the competition in the server space. Open hardware might eventually become what everybody wants. Seems like right now everyone is on a path to Windowsify everything, but that could change.

Sounds crazy? Keep in mind, people used to pay money for programming language licenses. How many people are doing that anymore? Are the people who pay for that kind of stuff competitive businesses?
> The “on call” teams end up frustrated with the engineers who ship bugs and this results in added process that delays deploys, arbitrary demands for test coverage, capricious error budgets, etc.

This is poor operations culture. Software is no different from industrial manufacturing. You QA before you ship product to customers and you QA your raw materials before you start to process them. Operations is responsible for catching show-stopper bugs before they hit production. This means that operations is responsible for pushing to staging, not developers; operations stakeholders need to be looped into feature planning to ensure that feature work will easily integrate into the operations culture (somebody's got to tell the developers they can't adopt MySQL if it's a PostgreSQL shop, etc.). Fundamentally, Ops needs to be able to say No to Dev. The SRE take on it is to "hand the pager back to Dev", but the actual method of saying No is different from Ops culture to Ops culture.

> reliability people who tend to be systems experts but lack the business logic intuition to spot errors at a glance

If Dev didn't build the monitoring, the observability, put proper logging in place, etc., then honestly, Dev isn't going to spot the errors at a glance. Customer Service will when customers complain. @jedberg seems to think that Developers should write code to auto-solve their operations issues. If Developers can write code to auto-solve their operations issues, and Developers obviously anyway need to add telemetry etc., then why, pray tell, should it be so unreasonable to expect Developers to be able to succinctly add the kind of telemetry and documentation that explains the business logic, according to an Operations standard, such that Operations can thus keep the system running?
Hi, I'm the "perpetrator" responsible for OpenVi. Apologies to everyone! /s

I've added details to the README to hopefully explain why it exists: https://github.com/johnsonjh/OpenVi#why

The OpenVi ChangeLog at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/johnsonjh/OpenVi/master/Ch... includes all the history going back to 1993's Nvi 0.93. Nvi 1.79 was released in 1996, which is the version OpenBSD's vi was derived from.

The ChangeLog entries are only a summary of the full commit messages - the complete details are in OpenBSD's CVS tree, and viewable a bit easier via GitHub (https://github.com/openbsd/src/commits/master/usr.bin/vi)

Changes to the (OpenVi bundled) OpenBSD regular expression engine are not included in the legacy ChangeLog, but you can see that development in the CVS tree or via GitHub as well (https://github.com/openbsd/src/commits/master/lib/libc/regex).

OpenVi also utilizes the OpenBSD version of Berkely DB (https://github.com/openbsd/src/commits/master/lib/libc/db).
While I agree that git could use a rethink from a user tooling perspective, I really appreciate the existence of the index. I’m not tied necessarily to this specific implementation of it, but having a staging area where chunks are added piecemeal is an enormous benefit.

I honestly wish git forced `-p` for operations that support it. I’ve worked on too many teams where people would just commit everything in their working directory, and it would inevitably make reviewing their PRs a nightmare. Particularly with times where changes were accidentally committed wholesale that shouldn’t have been part of that set of changes.
So you expect to "voice your opinion", but anyone who does not agree with you is not allowed to, otherwise they are "stupid" and doing you some kind of offense. Interesting.

The problem here is not Reddit or HN, nor those comments.
Mind sharing info on server, backend, costs etc?
It’s an all-out talent war at new-age tech startups
> what I might be able to keep an eye out for during onboarding/transfer that would help me tell overstuffed kitchens apart from optimally-calibrated engineering caves from a distance

The biggest thing I've been able to correlate are command styles: imperative vs declarative.

I.e. is management used to telling engineering how to do the work? Or communicating a desired end result and letting engineering figure it out?

I think fundamentally this is correlated with bloat vs lean because the kind of organizations that hire headcount thoughtlessly inevitably attempt to manage the chaos by pulling back more control into the PM role. Which consequently leads to imperative command styles: my boss tells me what to do, I tell you, you do it.

The quintessential quote from a call at a bad job was a manager saying "We definitely don't want to deliver anything they didn't ask for." This after having to cobble together 3/4 of the spec during the project, because so much functionality was missed.

Or in interview question form posed to the interviewer: "Describe how you're told what to build for a new project." and "Describe the process if you identify a new feature during implementation and want to pitch it for inclusion."
I read something that said you guys are sort of in luck as long as Antarctica doesn't go. Apparently the gravitational forces from ice in Greenland pull the ocean higher. So as the ice melts the ocean around Greenland will fall while farther away it will rise. There is a zone around Greenland where it's a wash. And the Netherlands is in it.

The east coast of the US, Florida, and the Gulf coast are totally hosed though.
Not really because piecework and off-the-books work exist. Plus in the USA there are entire classes of work for which the normal minimum wage does not apply.

I also doubt that empirical evidence supports that assertion. How many people are really being priced out of work because they are only worth $6/hr, not $7.25/hr? In my experience people on the low end are either worth at least what you're paying them, or they're basically not worth hiring at all, at any wage point, because they disrupt others in the work environment, cause accidents, are not amenable to working in groups nor amenable to working alone, report to work too unreliably to make effective use of, or whatever issue they have that makes them count among the ranks of the "least skilled."

Sure, your argument holds given some value of MW, $20/hr? $25/hr? But in real world practice I think the number of people harmed by living out of their car or in shelters @ $7.25/hr vastly exceeds the number of people who but for the minimum wage would easily find relaxing side work at $2/hr sweeping gutters.

And in theory the MW could be tailored to mitigate any adverse impact. It could be restricted to employers grossing over $1 million/yr or in excess of 10 employees. It could be augmented with an earned income tax credit, which has been done to considerable success. There could be a separate under-21 MW. Etc. In practice, though, movement seems to be going in the other direction: about half of US states have minimum wages higher than the Federal level, even places like Florida and Missouri which are not liberal strongholds.

It says that was an expectation. Afterwards, the Russian ministry of defense reported 80000 troops actually involved in “Caucasus-2020”. This info was very easy to find.
and we have 50 states?
I’m sure both of the attorneys who have done an apprenticeship are happy about that.
"Education does not fix poverty."

What the OP said was that education was once thought to be the magic bullet against poverty, much like UBI is now.

People always dream of solving complicated problems with "one weird trick". If it fails, another one will appear.
I halved my caffeine intake by drinking instant coffee that was half the strength of my old one.

Biggest thing is I fall asleep at night much more easily.

However, I'd like to be off it completely. I still have noticable peaks and troughs in my day due to when I drink coffee, and I'd kind like to flatten it out a bit.
The problem is that you teach that it exists without teaching tools to challenge or maintain it without blowing the whole thing up and starting over. That’s not very useful and is teaching more revolutionary ideologies.
Capitalism isn’t going anywhere what kids need is ways to deal with it and improve their own lot.
I’m sure. That’s a good point.
You're all missing the point... ANYbody with a Lexis Nexus subscription, or a Bloomberg terminal, or one of those background check sites, already has this exact capability. It's not new.

You dont need to be a lawyer to access any of it... I think the other poster simply meant that lawyers generally have Lexis subscriptions, already.

Also, the various court databases this site is searching are ALREADY online and publicly available, and have been for years. This is just providing a free, unified interface with a fast search index.
This seems to conflate moral worth and economic worth. People can have equal inherent moral value at the same time that some jobs have inherently disproportionate economic value.
I have a 2nd generation, which has the home button. (I got my wife the 1st generation when it was first introduced and it’s still functioning. The battery doesn’t charge well but it’s still good for surfing the web and playing games.)

Apple changed the pencil. I wouldn’t get any iPad that wouldn’t support the new pencil, which I think is from the 3rd generation when the removed the home button and introduced rounded corners.

The old pencil has a lightning connector and plugs into the iPad to charge. The new pencil magnetically attaches to the iPad and charges.

Apple should release the next generation soon. (Maybe in a couple weeks.) Hopefully you can get a used one at a good rate when that happens.
> everyone has the power to decide how to perceive and respond to the unavoidable constraints and challenges they face. How did such a belief become commonplace?

I'm struggling not to be offended by the idea that humans don't have the ability to choose their own mindset when I believe it's the only thing we can truly reliably choose.

I just had a talk with my oldest child today about working hard because you don't know when you'll get your opportunity to shine, but you need to be ready when (or if!) you get it. It was in the context of basketball, but I fully believe it applies to just about everything in life.

I also disagree with the premise of the article in that just because the ranks of poverty are not subsiding doesn't mean _individuals_ aren't being helped by these programs.
> Entire repo is under version control

I wonder how this works out for large files and cleaning them up.
I think it's just about latency. If most of your users/employees are located in NA, it doesn't make much sense to give them degraded network experience to save few Euros on hosting costs.
> I love projects like these, but they're the digital equivalent of "dual use technologies". They can be used for good or evil.

Isn't pretty much every technology "dual use"? Just look at social media. You need a platform that gives you the ability to harass someone in order to actually do it.

> Some times a little friction is a good thing.

We as a market repeatedly justify the frictionless experience of being spied on for ads in ways that we have little to no control over, but we're gonna deny ourselves the frictionless experience of being able to see public records because we're worried about our privacy?
Microchip Fabricarion has its flaws but gives a good high level overview includinh bringing, test and packaging: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1203098.Microchip_Fabric...
Because it's not relevant.

1. In the video he's saying that you can't replace memory safety mitigation techniques like ASLR with memory safe languages. He notes that there will always be some unsafe code and that mitigation techniques are free, so you'll always want them.

No one should disagree with that. ASLR is effectively "free", and unsurprisingly all Rust code has ASLR support and rapidly adopts new mitigation techniques as well as other methods of finding memory unsafety.

2. The link about replacing gnu utils has nothing to do with memory safety. At all.

Even if it were related, it would simply be an argument from authority.
Lexis has the best search capabilities, but there are dozens of cheap clones now that start at $10/month to search these same records.
Arguably, if the value people will pay for something can't support the human dignity of the people who make them, then it's not worth subsidizing so that it is affordable. Do you have an counterexample?
Only if price levels stay the same. If they don't, now you have 1000 dollars every month of UBI, but perhaps rent has jumped to 3000 dollars.

UBI would work ceteris paribus, but I am with Georgism on this one: the entire UBI would be eaten by landlords.
> Only a real weirdo would do that here, in part because it involves time and money.

I think your parent's point is that money isn't an issue for the rich. A billionaire doesn't care that it costs $150 to find out, they don't care that it costs a $1,000 to find out. So suddenly information becomes a class issue. Either it should be available to nobody or everybody, money shouldn't factor into it.
That is great. Regular people access to the information is great power equalizer. I had lost a small case - fine print and a lot of undelivered promises - after 3 lawyers said I'd lose and won it on appeal after finding in an online database (not available anymore sadly) a similar precedent referring the law exactly for my situation. According to yelp and case search the company I had this case with was regularly taking people for a ride, and the people very grudgingly paid hundreds to several thousands of dollars a pop mostly because of the fine print, and I became the first with winning case in that list.
Depends on your definition of success. Personally, I think if the developer is making hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, that's a yes; but I've met people who think if the game isn't a household name, it's not really successful.

Anyway, most people have this mental model of the video game industry where there's a measurable, comprehensible number of games, but the actual volume of released games is insane.

Anecdotally, one of the most impressive devs I've ever talked with had a full time day job and did solo dev on mobile games on the side. He released 3-4 games within 2 years, 2016-2018 and they all earned around $200k+. But again, you never would have heard of any of these games, just like you don't hear about whatever current hypercasual game has 20 million players (unless you're an addict or monitor App Annie / Steamcharts / whatever else on a daily basis).
> I thought users would be able to get their head around it... nope! I'm the only one that can make changes to the website.

What are they having problems with? Maybe there's a fix?
That's true if you need to stay in that sandbox, which isn't always the case!
I had that problem. It only crossed into anxiety when I had much more, but even before that point I had what I would call uncomfortable “overattention” and sleep troubles.

The solution for me was moderation. Two cups a day, and no cup after 3:30pm (or rather that’s the latest time I allow myself to start drinking my last cup). Makes them more special, too.
NOW they do. it is STILL a large attack area.
This trend of things to be named after common words is annoying. Zigbee is easy to search, but neither CSA or Matter would be.

I lived in a building connected to the underground in Montreal. I could go see a movie, eat at any major restaurant chain, shop in massive shopping malls, and even get to NYC without ever going outside. I'd say that's pretty cool. Even if it is just a loosely connected group of underground corridors between buildings.
For the record, I fully agree that a lot of poverty out there is systemic. Look at North Korea, maybe contrast it to South Korea then try to tell me that they don't have widespread systemic poverty. Look at the latest garden-variety tin-pot dictatorship in Africa or elsewhere and try to tell me the same thing. The individual alone explains pretty much zilch; every single one of us in the developed West is living in an incredibly complex society featuring a huge variety of institutional arrangements of all kinds.

There's no reason to think that these institutional factors don't affect social and economic outcomes; indeed, there's plenty of evidence to the contrary! (And it would be just as arrogant to think that the institutional arrangements prevailing in a random Western country as of 02022 are already "optimized" in any sense. So yes, there is room for some meaningful improvement.)

Top 11? :-)
Interesting. I worked at Amazon on a large CDO product with hundreds or maybe low thousands of services. Some services probably had a couple instances, others had hundreds. There was a customized ELK stack that was indispensable, in my opinion, to tracking problems and communicating them (e.g. here's a URL that anyone on the org can look at). I'm trying to imagine distributed grep working as a solution for that org. Maybe it could work, but the large number of varied fleets owned by dozens of teams makes it a bit of a different problem.
I wrote such a system. 6+ years, between end of '07 to beginning of '14. It grew organically, with more and more end points as time went by, and when I exited the project it had over 250 end points, each having hundreds of thousand of users requests per day. By your measurement, that would mean the system I wrote would've handled in a month a total of 250 (end points) x 30 (days) x ~400k (requests per day) == 3B user requests in a month.

To my knowledge the system is still used to this day and I think it grew 10x meanwhile, so I think it's serving over 30B requests each month.

That being said, to answer your question - Yes! I got tired of it, started to plateau and felt I was lagging behind in terms of keeping up with technology around me. So I exited but at the same time I also started to get involved in other projects as well. So in the end I was overworked and I ditched the biggest project of my entire career as freelancer because payment was not worth anymore. I wanted to feel excited and the additional projects eventually made up in terms of money, but boy oh boy! the variation is what made me not feeling burnout. Nowadays if I feel another project is going that route I discuss with client to replace me with a team once I deliver the project in a stable state and for horizontal scaling.
Or, fine, may not be the right word, more like, a lot better off than a lot of other countries.
