I did a similar thing. I burned out hard at Peloton and left back in November to join a hybrid private/state/federal entity. I get paid 30K less but I do make up for it with MUCH better work life balance.

I'd say look inside and see how this new job might be better aligned with your core values? I got tired of the rat race (always chasing higher comp, bonus, etc) and sick of the scrappy work attitude of startups and wanted to find a place that will let me focus on ME and not on the company. That usually makes me feel better. You can always join another higher paying job (including FAANG down the road).

Let me know if you'd like to chat. At the very least I can just be an ear for you to voice out your thoughts out loud.

Cheers.

Sets tend to have methods like difference, union and intersection - with a map[T]bool, if you want to find the difference, union or intersection of 2 sets, you have to do all of that with much more verbose (and error prone) loops. Also, the type being a set carries a semantic meaning, with a map[T]bool it’s not obvious from the type alone that we only care about the keys, not the values.
But the sun does affect how well and how long they sleep

Yes, the sun coming up an hour later means less light peeking into the room and more sleep cycle time. Big collective win for night owls.

As it's a struggle already, getting up an hour earlier is going to be harder for them

Times are changing, literally. Nice thing about all this remote work is you can be a night owl on the East Coast while everyone else is a morning lark on the West Coast. For me waking up is never an issue, I just get moving. But the night owl schedule is where everything naturally settles.
Sorry, I was in a panic , I have updated my situation in the comments , thank you
I agree with you that the US has a weird fixation on race. As a German I always cringe when I hear the term, because nobody (even strongly bigotet people) would use the term for humans since the 40s.

And there is really no biological justification. Skin color does not correlate with genetic differences, in other words two people with different skin colors can be much more similar to two other people with the same.

That doesn't mean that there isn't racism and I'm not sure if a country like Australia has "racial blindness" (whatever that means). Australia has huge issues with xenophobia and attitudes which would be called racist in the US are widespread, they just don't focus on race but on ethnicity instead (which IMO is a much better term)
From the 1971 Supreme Court ruling:

"We granted the writ in this case to resolve the question whether an employer is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, from requiring a high school education or passing of a standardized general intelligence test as a condition of employment in or transfer to jobs when

(a) neither standard is shown to be significantly related to successful job performance,

(b) both requirements operate to disqualify Negroes at a substantially higher rate than white applicants, and

(c) the jobs in question formerly had been filled only by white employees as part of a longstanding practice of giving preference to whites."

The article says that the IQ tests required by this VC firm are illegal, on account of this ruling.

But we cannot know that, as we don't know the facts of this particular situation. IANAL, but my reading of the opinion is that, for this case to apply, the following three conditions must hold:

1. The firm can't show IQ test scores are significantly correlated with job performance, and

2. The firm is rejecting candidates from one or more protected groups at a higher rate than the overall applicant pool, and

3. The firm must have been disproportionately hiring from a majority group.

Have I misinterpreted the ruling?

First you find a gambler, any gambler and ask them to show you the lowest denomination coin they have, and get them to verify for you that it is a fair coin. Now demonstrate your weird coin to them, and when they are amazed by its properties, swap it with them for the fair coin. Done.
Firstly, this site hijacked my back button, which is always an annoying experience for me.

Moving to the topic, I didn’t understand a lot of what was said in the video (I’m not a physicist or an astrophysicist), but I found the sample depiction of a person in parallel worlds funny and meaningless. They showed a man wearing different colored clothes or having a different car. It seemed to be dumbing down things a lot before going to high gear and trying to explain things that are very difficult to explain (especially in a short video). The concept of a “person” as a unit is well maintained in those depictions but the clothes they wear or the car they use are separate from them. Well, if it’s just a combination of how molecules assemble in a parallel universe, it could be that this same person has different parents, different (or no) siblings, and so on. Except for some physical resemblance to one particular piece of mass, a whole lot of things could be very, very different. Among all the parallel universes that could exist, one differing only in the color of clothes worn at a particular time seems…very rare and weird.

How Uber’s Autonomous Cars Will Destroy 10M Jobs and Reshape the Economy by 2025
Trying to give some constructive criticism: the author of the substack has a few points, some good and some naive, about data standards and good/nefarious incentives of sharing data.

The article is a bit rambling and could get to the point much quicker:

* RDF can be used as a standard of data exchange

* Silicon Valley co. don’t have incentives to share data while other entities do

No real conclusion or anything out of it… it’s be nice to see something thought out there. At the same time, it’s naive to think any one standard of data format is going to get adopted, as pointed out many times by https://xkcd.com/927/

One aspect that didn’t get covered is that not all data should be open/shared, privacy is a thing.

If you’re new to data and data issues, it’s a nice explanation (esp the video). If you’re an old hat/grey beard, skip.

Now we are moving way out of ELI5 territory but this is a simplification that I think hurts as much as it helps. It's not that a graphics card has thousands of ALUs restricted to always executing the same instruction.

It's more like you have a fairly high number of cores each of which consists of a large number (typically 32 or 64) of ALUs executing the same instructions in parallel.

This means that while you cannot execute a thousand different instructions in parallel you can in theory run somewhere between tens and hundreds of different instructions each across 32 or 64 different sets of input data.
I get "aptitude" tests for specific roles and abilities, but the concept of IQ as a standardized and reliable method to test a persons "intelligence" is far from proven, standardized or reliable.

The people who have reverence for the heroes are as much or more of a problem as the actual heroes, and they need to be shaken severely.

If you fire one belligerent hero as an example to the others, you might be able to make it work. But if you have one 'database guy' or 'backend person', odds are very good that they're going to go exactly as fast as they want to go and smile and say 'no' when people ask for major changes that would break up a logjam.

Some Apple Park Employees Evacuated Due to Possible Hazmat Situation
The great swindle that capitalist ideology has pulled is simultaneously convincing workers that 1) they are completely dispensable ('we can replace you'), but 2) that they are also completely indispensable ('we need you'). The former keeps the worker scared that they can be fired at any second, the latter makes the worker feel guilty about quiting (or not answering their phone at 6am on a Sunday).

The amazing thing is that, depending on what the corporation needs, the worker is made to feel either of these things.

The post in the OP is the worker feeling the latter, with a twist: being made to feel indispensable to shove off as much work as possible on the worker.

"Momentary"?

At age 28 i quit the rat race, took a pay cut, and never looked back after starting my career on 100k straight out of uni. 10yrs later i see my ex-collegues earning double me, but i couldnt imagine how much of my life i would have wasted if i had "stuck it out". Case and point, natural disaters, covid, has changed the world forever - if u were waiting for retirement to travel, you already lost your chance to see the world. Its not the same world we grew up with.

Some people get drive from money. My experience is these people are either never satisfied, or find out too late that actually no, the money was only there to distract them from their real desires which required guts determination to persue - counter to popular rhetoric of the motivation pr0n blick bait generation.

If you equate money to success, one only needs to look at the raft of multi-million-billionaires who still wake up at 60, put on a suite, and got into a board room, looking for the next big thing. That person, they never woke up. They think they have the respect, but they actually represent a different kind of person in my books. A complete failure in every way to be true to themselves.

Thats what makes us all different right? Choices.

The person who quits their cushy life - to listen to their heart -- is in my opinion --- so much smarter and more motivated then any unicorn founder.
As far as I'm aware there are no good RDP servers on Linux.

By good I mean one that would give an experience at least somewhat close to RDP on Windows. All the ones I've tried have been orders of magnitude away.

A good one should also allow for a key RDP feature which is to seamlessly transition between physical and remote desktop sessions. Meaning, I log in to my desktop at home, I leave and log in via RDP and get the same desktop session, which I can again resume when I get back home.

This is either not possible or doesn't work well last time I tested xrdp and friends.

Of course, if things has changed in the last year or so, I'd be delighted to hear about it. A good RDP server for Linux is what's keeping me from transitioning away from Windows on my main machine.
Disclaimer: I don't use Go professionally

When compared to say, Ocaml Go definitely lacks some of the niceties of a type system (even now with generics). With ocaml i use recursion in almost every case i need to reduce / map something. Pattern matching + type constructors are VERY powerful and produces very safe code.

That said, i really like Go as a language. It lacks many higher level abstractions, and the coding style is very procedural. It's boring, and stops you from being to clever. Simply put, i get shit DONE in Go without much thinking. sometimes i work for hours in Ocaml to get a semi "easy" function to work correctly. With Go it's just write and things usually work.

Go has very good concurrency primitives for 95% of use cases. Ad hoc concurrency in Ocaml is still a pain (the new effect system WILL make this better) as you need to pick and choose between Ltw or async and then pray libraries support the one you chose.

For me Ocaml is still a language (that i love) for "being smart about it". And good ocaml code is truly beautiful and safe. Go on the other hand is about getting shit done. I can be productive in Go and then refactor later.

I really like that Go has such a good core that comes with the essentials, so you rarely need higher level dependencies (i would not write a databada driver myself).

Go sits in a spot that's well designed and has the right tools and brings good enough safety to the average app.
If it doesn't work why ban it? All sorts of inane BS is allowed and ubiquitous in hiring. Why not IQ?
For what it's worth, my aim was to disavow anyone from claiming that they are "color-blind" even when they have good intentions. I should demand of myself to grant the same level of respect and courtesy to anyone else regardless of their race.

The reasoning there is due to the fact that, in the US at least, race is often tied to identity, in terms of background, culture, and even experience in daily life.

Ultimately, as I eluded to, we should all try to be better people first and foremost. I'm not saying that calling out and standing up to injustice is not important. But we each have the potential to control our own actions much more so than to control anyone else's.
Starting in a new role, or new company, often means that there is a period when I'm hard to replace, but since I try to automate everything I can and make the rest simple enough for anyone to do, I'm actively trying to make myself useless and out of a job. Funnily enough, it doesn't seem world is running out of undone work anytime soon and there are always more interesting problems to solve.
It’s to celebrate St Patricks day. Nice touch by dang
The downside is they’ll make Go code less uniform. Do you represent nullability with a nil-able pointer, or an option monad? To transform a list, do you loop over a slice, or map/flatMap/filter over a more functional data structure? etc.

Pre-generics, Go has been a very limited language. On the downside it’s verbose and error-prone, on the upside it’s very uniform. I think generics will make it less verbose and error-prone, but also less uniform - stylistic differences from programmer to programmer will be greater, similar to other high level languages.
> So, what's the argument here exactly?

Many Americans take US-specific cultural concepts about topics such as race, and try to apply them globally, without realising that those concepts fall apart when you try to apply them outside of the specific historical/cultural context in which they evolved. And even in their country of origin, their existence is sustained (in part) by ignoring the existence of people who don't fit into them – so long as those people remain a small enough minority, they can be ignored. If they start to get too numerous and loud, political pressure will result in changes to the scheme to try to accomodate them, through the addition of yet further categories – but failing to address the fundamental problem that trying to reduce the immense biological and cultural diversity of humanity to a small number of coarse categories is a fool's errand.

> I am able to tell the difference between a person from Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, and North Africa.

If you look at the transition zone between the two – places like southern Egypt and northern Sudan – you will find many people whose physical appearance is somewhere in-between the two. You seem to be ignoring the existence of those people.

> China and Europe and India.

Europeans and northern Indians are historically related peoples – they both speak Indo-European languages, Hindi and English are distant relatives of each other. They are both cultural/linguistic descendants of the ancient Aryans, and also have some common biological/genetic ancestry. So what makes them "different races"? Some Pakistanis look rather European – seen most strongly in groups such as the Kalash and Nurstanis – are they a "different race" from Europeans? Why?

The majority of Indians are by ancestry a mixture of Aryan and Dravidian, with greater Aryan ancestry in the north and greater Dravidian ancestry in the south. Does that mean Indians are actually two different races? But the reality is the majority of Indians have ancestry from both–few Indians are purely descended from one or the other–so the idea of classifying Indian people into separate Aryan and Dravidian "races" doesn't work. And don't forget North East India – the majority of people from there have more linguistically and genetically in common with the peoples of China and Tibet and Southeast Asia than with people in the rest of India. What race are they?

> I do get the underlying idea, though. I just think it's naive.

I think your ideas on this topic are naïve.
It's very funny that you wait until the fifth paragraph of your defense of NIMBYism to drop "now, I do possess many, many millions of dollars..."

You're a fan of NIMBYism because NIMBYism is for people like you, who have no reason to worry about the price of housing. Any tradeoff whatsoever of "character" for affordability is bad from your perspective.

Cities and towns change when more people want to live there. They either change by adding more housing, or they change by getting much more expensive and driving out people who can't afford it. If you can always afford it, and "character" to you means the buildings in the area rather than the blue-collar people who used to live there, naturally you prefer the latter.
What is race? The problem with the term race is that implies genetic differences where there are none.

Regarding being able to tell apart races by looking at them, I highly doubt you could I mean are a black US American and a Nigerian the same race? How about a Namibian? In the US the Nigerian would be classified as African American which says a lot about the ridiculousness.
No, this is not an IQ test.

Nobody is saying we're required to get rid of anything. It's just that if something is a social construct it means that we just made it up. So if there's a way to change it that works better, it's within our power to change it have it work better. We don't have to just live with the way it currently is. It's not like the gravitational constant or the speed of light or something that is outside human control.

I'm surprised at how positive the response to this has been.

Whenever I've tried to reason through why we change our clocks twice a year I've found that it makes sense to do so (at least in my case).

Also, I've quite enjoyed experiencing the switches throughout my life. They've provided for a mildly entertaining small talk topic, an opportunity to fix my circadian cycles and some measure of excitement when getting to sleep for an extra hour.

That said, I recognize (now that I've seen this HN thread) that a LOT of people disliked the status quo of having to switch.

I just hope that my country won't follow the US in this, but I'm afraid we will.
