I like the idea, but I don’t find the content interesting or engaging. YouTube gives me decent recommendations for regular content, but all the short videos seem to be TikTokers and immature young adults doing unfunny things to get attention.

It feels like the topics I’m interested in either have little or no short form content, or otherwise, YT’s data colllection, recommendation, and ranking is completely separate from their regular content, and none of my years of browsing and consumption history is used as a signal for my content personalization.

And my regular topics aren’t that niche; astronomy, music, math, tech

Every other short video is some low effort “did you know in Marvels Avengers..” with some junk trivia fact or some teenager or 20 something year old staging some cringy antic or shaking their bottom or chest. Pure trash content.

I don't believe there were enough telephone infrastructure to have school over phone for more than a very marginal part of the population in 1918. I'd like to be proven wrong.

I'm talking about lockdowns.

Exactly. But not only that, our technical and economic capability to implement such lockdowns widely eclipse the society of 1918. These are enormous differences.

Did you reach a point of peak non-awkwardness? At what age?

I think this might happen to some people. When they're young they haven't yet learnt how to interact with other people. Perhaps at age 30 or 40 they've learnt enough to do a reasonable impression of being a normal person, at least for the duration of a brief interaction. But when they're 50 or 60 they can't be bothered to make the effort any more.

Canadians tease Americans for not knowing Canada, but that's an unequal comparison. Of course Canadians know more about America than Americans do about Canada. They hear about American news and elections and watch American movies. Ask canadians and americans about Uruguay or Mali and they probably know about the same.

It's not that Americans are dumb or don't care--they are just at the center of the world.

OK then. So should a judge be able to tell his spouse what to do?

This idea that Thomas should recuse himself because of his wife's political activity raises some interesting questions. Like does marrying a judge de-facto remove political rights from their spouse, or what happens in a Kellyanne Conway/George Conway situation, where the spouses have opposite views. Could one spouse weaponize the relationship to tip the balance in some important case?

So aren't you saying that we shouldn't even try to tax their income, because they'll find a way to avoid paying income tax? Should the government just give up and only tax the poor, who can't afford to pay people to find these clever schemes?

> moving wealth overseas

I actually think that a wealth tax, for practical reasons, needs to be agreed across all major democracies, like the recent global minimum corporation tax. If any country tries to compete by offering a lower tax for billionaires, then the billionaires who live there should be sanctioned (or the country itself).
I think this is true regarding truckers, as there seems to be many people who can drive trucks but choose not to. If they got paid more, they would drive (the author suggests, and I agree).

But is it true for programmers? Are there many people who can code but choose not to, but would if the pay was higher? That seems less likely.

I still have major problems of socialization but I succeeded to pass to the “in” group.

- It happened during the integration week in engineering school. Cohesion games, scream together, talk loud, it really transformed me. Now I’m part of the socialization. I’m 38.

- I would say it can’t happen without alcohol, unfortunately. It’s both a social signal and an actual mood changer. Use it, but quit as soon as you’re in. Use it to gain the “street cred” and move on to better friends. Friends you get through alcohol are false friends, they/you use alcohol to hide the lack of unity and the lack of depth in your relationship. So don’t dwell of friends you made through alcohol.

- You can search for a girlfriend without going through the socialization step. Don’t postpone the gf thing.

I find WASM in general very cool. Is there a way to run a WASM "binary" locally? For example, can I distribute a program as WASM and execute ./mywasmprogram and have it run?

I imagine I need a WASM runtime installed, and to somehow get my shell to recognize that WASM programs should be loaded with it (for lack of a hashbang line), but is that actually doable?

Vertical video used to be an embarrasing mistake. Then the Chinese Communist Party created a personal data aggregation service, and to incentivise people to give them their data, they attached a vertical format video sharing feature to the service. From then on vertical video was normalised, and now YouTube wants to compete in the five second attention span arena.
I wonder if they were always planning to bring the concept of CDL to court and this was a good way to provoke that while not making it too easy to be painted as feckless pirates by the plaintiffs (they were just trying to help in a national crisis, you know?).

CDL seems a common sense process, inasmuch as copyright can be said to be sensible. If I own a book, I can show it to others, even electronically, but only to one person at time, and I don't look at it while showing it, so I'm not actually increasing the copies in circulation. Most normal (as in, not familiar with IP law) people would probably agree that that seems a reasonable way for a library to operate, since that's fundamentally how normal libraries do operate (except for the electronic bit). Those weird DVD-ripping jukeboxes that locked the data and/or discs down are similar too, and they were declared legal.

However, making sense is not required under the law: the concept has (apparently, according to the plaintiffs) never been actually legally tested. It is in the IA's interest to actually test it, as getting it legally proven to be a valid way to run a library would be revolutionary: any library could suddenly lend their legally-held holdings digitally without legal clouds around them. It would also put the IA's massive CDL system on a solid footing.

Meanwhile, proving it illegal would raise difficult questions over what it means to own even a physical item. As a form of accelerationism, that can work to the IA's advantage too, by shining a light on the fact that you, yes you, actually do not really own a book in that it's illegal to lend it in certain ways.

Either way, the outcome will be very interesting, though it'll be far better if CDL comes out as allowed.

I've never been particularly shy, but I have been socially awkward, all my life.

It has gotten drastically better, but still leaks out a bit, here and there (I'm a bit "on the spectrum," so social awkwardness is de rigueur for me).

A lot of it has been age. As I have gotten older, what others think of me, has played a rapidly decreasing role in my life.

Also, I have participated in an unusual organization for my entire adult life, that has helped me to deal with my social issues. It is not something that I'm willing to discuss in public (yes, it's one of those organizations), but that's what helped me.
> we've seen a close competitor sign up for our SaaS service (using email addresses and names that clearly identify who they are)...

In general it's for sure very nice that a company doesn't try to hide its identity when having a look at the competition.

But maybe I'm being (again) too naive?

Question: might the use of official email addresses signal some prep work to prosecute (e.g. for a potential patent infringement)? Something like "this screenshot shows myself on behalf of company X being logged in on Y at W using functionality Z which is actually copyrighted by company X".

Just purely asking - maybe I have become too careful/suspicious of everything hehe :P

This! Reading in general manifests to others as if you have superpowers at times. Whitepapers, RFCs, manuals, API docs, regulations, devour them all and the doors will open so fast it will make your head spin. General advice to all, don't get bogged down thinking you need to memorize every algorithm and data structure to be a great programmer. It's more about understanding the domain you work in and knowing how to "stand on the shoulders of giants" within that domain.
Kind of rings hollow when more than 8% of the US are millionaires (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/09/more-than-8-percent-of-ameri...).

> Python is still the easiest to read when you come back to some old code

Lucky you. You must not have seen the "pythonic" monstrosities I've seen.

Python has such a low barrier for entry that one can "get stuff done" with absolutely atrocious and often very overly complicated OOP-ish code.

Ruby is not my favorite language, but I would bet real money that without dependence on libraries, nobody could show me Python code which I could not show more logical, consistent, and readable Ruby code which solves the same problem. I say Ruby because it's of the same "type" and follows similar methodologies.

Python suffers from far too many years under the leadership of one odd person. It has a cult-like following, whereby anyone who disagrees is an outcast. Where else could you hear comments like, "why would you ever need a switch statement? if/if else works fine!" That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Python is great for integration glue code, but only because of the libraries it has. But now it is becoming more Javascript like, and the dependencies are multiplying to the point where you're better off writing your own left-pad instead (or even re-evaluating your approach) instead of taking on new duct tape like django-database-view.

Sometimes the bar needs to be high enough to force the juniors to actually learn something before they start building "MVP" startups. On the other hand, who cares if the MVP is a horror show as long as you get that IPO and take your f-u money and leave.
Frankly, I agree with pretty much all of this. We hear similar things from our users. This is why we try to provide a suite of options, including things like peer support and other interventions they can engage with immediately — as compliments to lifelines. We’re still learning about what works best, but the status quo is abysmal.
Here’s an example: I can go on Google and search for “flight to Miami” and I’ll be led through an incredible UX that’s designed to get me to a purchase as quickly as possible. But if I search for “depression”, I get a one-box that provides a list of clinical definitions of depression, bipolar, and its various subtypes — better suited for a diagnostic manual than for anyone who might actually be struggling. Other platforms provide tips on how to take a deep breath, reach out to friends, or walk around the block (the digital equivalent to a health brochure you might find in a waiting room). The shortcomings of these approaches have been studied before, and yet they still persist. Why don’t we measure and track these things with the same rigor we do for all online experiences?

I’m a software engineer and work at a HR startup in NYC. We’re growing fast and are often asked to reach out to our own network to refer people. There’s a hefty bonus if someone we refer ends up being hired. As a recent immigrant I haven’t been able to refer anyone, since I don’t know a lot of engineers in the US yet, outside of my colleagues. I recently learned it’s ok to refer people we haven’t worked with personally, which lead me to build Engineer Friendly.

How it works:

- Log in with Github

- The site auto imports your public repos and gists

- Create job openings by linking to existing posts on eg LinkedIn

- Connect with other engineers on the site through private chat

- Added bonus: without applying, you get to track your potentially worth over time, based on the invitations you get

- Added bonus #2: You’ll always talk with engineers instead of recruiters

- Added bonus #3: If you do choose to apply, you’ll get a warm intro, increasing your chances of being hired

Feedback is welcome and highly encouraged
I'm not sure this approach would correctly handle the case where the function is oblivious to generics but receives an object where a generic method must be used to satisfy the interface. E.g. a function taking an `any` parameter, checking if it's an `io.Writer`, passed something with a `Write[T any]([]T) (int, error)` method. Intuitively you would expect that to "materialize" with `byte` and match. And as the FAQ says, if it doesn't, then what's the point of generic method arguments since methods exist primarily to implement interfaces?
I was an OTR truck driver for a year for a big company called Prime. This was like a decade ago.

I made around 44 grand in a year for around 60 to 80 hours a week of work.

You get paid 'per mile' but you spend many hours at docks unloading. There were constantly times I would wait in a dock all day to unload and since the truck wasn't moving, that was considered my 'time off'. Then they would finally unload you and you would have been considered to have rested 8 hours and have to drive 10 more hours even though you didn't sleep because you were waiting for your name to be called to unload.

On the upside, got to see a lot of cool stuff around the country and driving those big trucks was badass.

I was on bad terms with my dispatcher because if I got someplace early I would spend that extra time sightseeing instead of delivering the load early.

After a while, being away from home sucked massively because you have such little time off in those big companies.

I think that was a 'paying your dues' type job and if I stuck at it there are better trucking jobs out there.

Tech hasn't been a walk in the park but it at least pays really well.

What's your source for this? The RP2040 datasheet claims 0.18 mA for Dormant state and 0.39 mA for Sleep. As you've got detailed control over what gets clock gated in sleep state suspect you can bring that 0.39 mA down if you've only got one or two wake events to care about.

If you pair a heat pump with good insulation, the effect can be quite staggering. My parents moved into a new house 6 years ago and their annual heating bill (for space and water) dropped from ~2500EUR down to around 300EUR.

This is in an area where night-time winter temperatures hover in the -5°C range, occasionally dropping to -10.

The old house was around 30 years old, with fairly thin insulation (5 or 7cm was pretty standard back when it was built), and had an oil burning furnace for heating.
Having surrogate older bothers (aka older friends) has been helpful for me because they've been through what I'm going through and are at a point where they've reflected enough and know what I should and shouldn't be caring about. Of course they can be emulated when you notice they're being really effective socially-speaking.

I'm not saying you can just "pick up older friends, bruh", but if you end up with a friend who's in the older brother/sister age range, take advantage (in a good way) because you can learn from them and they will almost always be happy to be a kind of role model for you.

Writing down a "post mortem" after attending significant social events has helped me quite a lot as well. It's always good to write down thoughts while they're fresh, connect some dots, and hopefully remember something you've learned the next time.

While there's something to be said about living in the moment, reflection is super important. It's easy to coast through life, have things happen to you, screw up, and then continue repeating similar patterns. Writing down any relevant ideas and reviewing them prevents valuable insight from going immediately down the toilet.

One more thing is to practice looking people in the eyes. I'm bad at this because when I get thinking in depth about a topic, my eyes start to wander. But when the other person is speaking I've gotten much better about keeping eye contact. Just going in public and practicing looking at random people in the eyes was a big help. Yeah, it's awkward, and maybe it makes some people uncomfortable. You're gonna have to get used to making some people uncomfortable if you want to have good social skills, ironically, because otherwise you'll be too concerned about how you're perceived to the point where you're not making anyone comfortable. Maybe you'll creep some people out, but some people will look you in the eyes and smile back at you.

Somehow overcoming the eye contact thing permeates a bit into the rest of your social skills. You have to have a certain level of confidence to do it properly and to not think twice about it, and many aspects of social skills just have to do with confidence.
