That sounds like an anxiety response. As you said, your brain just isn't listening. The first step is recognizing what is going on - the questions have set off your anxiety and broken your ability to answer questions.

So you have two choices, if this is a live presentation:

1) Get back to a healthy place right there, quickly. There are a variety of techniques for this which will take some practice. It can be as simple as taking some deep breaths. Or more complex, such as reminding yourself that their questions are not attacks, and answering them can open dialogue that takes you all to a better product.

2) Decide that you have hit your limit, and gracefully end that part of the presentation. I recommend honesty in these cases. Say that you did not expect the questions, and you would love to answer them, but are feeling that the pressure of the surprise questions is throwing off your ability to answer them well at that moment. Ask for everyone to allow you to finish the presentation, and send questions to you, which you will answer when you have some space to put in the proper effort to writing up the answers.

If this is not live, and instead is async written communications, you are free to step away for a time and come back to it when you are ready.

I honestly recommend a brief stint in therapy to learn some CBT skills. This is exactly what they are meant for - to help you identify when anxiety or other problems are stopping you from succeeding in your daily life, and give you tools to work with in those situations. You can learn these skills fairly quickly in a few therapy sessions, so it really is more like a few weeks of training, not formal "therapy".
I think it's more like a professional mechanic wouldn't be happy being oil change technician. A professional mechanic may love Ferrari's, but also jump on the chance to work on Porsches if that means working on a GT Racing team.
I haven't fully formed this thought yet, but your request might result in a net loss of "good" people. The people who actually consider your request will probably fail to launch their business due to those environmental constraints. If you take 10 people who run a business regular and compare them to 10 who do it in an environmentally conscience way (while environmentalism not being he the bizmodel in the first place), I'd think you'd have equal or less environmental businesses succeeded which actually ends up hurting your problem more than helping.

I think the ideal way is to let a startup thrive any way possible and when they're not trying to not starve anymore, begin environmental changes.
My office is also a 10 minute bike ride or short bus ride away, and I never minded going in previously.

My company is allowing permanent work from home, however, we are keeping our office, as not everyone has a great home office set up.

However, my company actually expanded during the pandemic, and we don't actually have enough desks for all the employees. Instead of increasing our office space, my company decided to move to an open seating. This makes sense, as people are just now coming and going on their own hours.

I suppose this is fine for some people, but it really isn't ideal for developers.

I have _my_ keyboard and _my_ mouse that I want. I'm not lugging this into the office anytime I come in. I really prefer working on my snappy workstation, with my standing desktop and perching chair.

I don't drink coffee, so the office coffee machine isn't useful to me, but I do like to have cups of my preferred yan cha (loose leaf tea), which means I need a kettle and tea pot (Making tea is part of my ritual that lets me take an important mindfulness break).

I was previously able to mostly accommodate myself, since I had my own permanent desk and storage space. But now that I don't, I rarely come in, and it is usually just for a meeting, lunch, or to have some facetime with colleagues.

I don't see myself wanting to do serious work from the office, as the space is no longer designed for that.
You have to hire people that don't have big egos, and are also high performers. Some people will obviously be higher performers than others but without egos communication works. If someone is not performing well, everyone should feel open and trusted enough to communicate about it and find a resolution.

If you hire even one person with a big ego communication breaks down and you are in for a really bad time. Pretty much every high performance team knows this and put a lot of effort at weeding these people out.

A lot of it is also setting a good example once you've made the hire through your team and company culture. Hopefully when someone joins the team they will see how others communicate and carry themselves and it will rub off on them. Everyone should have enough respect and trust in everyone else not to have a huge ego even if they might have had one at their previous job where people treated one another poorly.

> It is possible to be disagreeable in a constructive way, combined with a “disagree-and-commit” attitude where the team’s success is the priority.

Disagreement is absolutely key to making a team work. Disagreeing with humility, and trusting others to take disagreement without having their egos involved, is what is needed. Being overly agreeable happens when you don't trust the other person to take your disagreement without ego.
It's a chicken and egg problem.

You need to create a circular economy where people pay and get paid in cryptocurrency, like you have within a nation state with their home currency. The creation of that circular economy without a monopoly on violence that forces everyone to converge on a single one is something that will happen in fits and starts.

And of course, you still need policy change to treat the cryptocurrency as legal tender so people don't have to stress about capital gains implications with each and every transaction they do, and get fucked if they ever lose their accounting history and get audited.

It will be interesting to see how things develop in El Salvador now that they have legally enabled this circular economy to develop with bitcoin, and spending is not a taxable event.
I'm in the same boat. The issue is... what great alternatives are there? I'm not interesting in investing the time required with pfsense / custom stuff. I want a similar experience to Ubiquity... does it exist?
Are you paying for redis? I know I am not. Also, you comment is unfounded because redis is still redis, this is a stack build on top of it.
You have any links to those stories? Would be interesting.

Personally I hate the way they're going towards cloud accounts and dedicated management boxes. We used to be able to just install a docker to manage everything but the latest hardware ranges (eg their video offering) require dedicated management hardware. They're also pretty slow with uptake on new standards like WiFi 6 and now 6E.

The ideal selling point of ubiquiti was self-managed near-enterprise quality hardware with free self-hosted management and decent hardware prices.

I can't fully blame them because I know venture capital idealises subscription pricing and data mining right now but it won't work for me and it's annoying having to look for another option again when I'm invested in their ecosystem.

But anyway it would be interesting to read more about what's going on behind the scenes.

Saying that rich people are the problem is not saying that all rich people are a problem. They're very different assertions.

It's saying that people being rich is the problem. Having a desirable fungible thing means the ability to trade that desirable thing for favors. Being able to accumulate more of that thing means an unfair ability to do that. And that's corruption.
I passed my Masters on this basis. I worked out what I thought about the topic, then searched the journals for the required number of papers whose abstracts agreed with me.

I didn't learn a damn thing from the process.
This might vary by school, but my undergraduate university had, in my opinion, a great computer science program which attracted many big-name companies to job fairs. There was definitely a focus on teaching practical and relevant things using relevant technologies. For those interested in research, there were also undergraduate research opportunities.

IMO this is what a university education should look like for most people in order for it to stay relevant. There are otherwise far more too many people attending universities relative to the demand for researchers.

absolute FUD and lies. They wanted policy change. Telling your government to use its powers is not revolution. They wanted to "overthrow" the government in the same sense that protestors to legalize gay marriage want to overthrow the government.
The problem is that many graduate degrees are very research focused and they don't say a lot about the skills many company's may need from software developers. Jobs I've worked that used Leetcode simply wouldn't need you to do the kind of work you did in your thesis. So they shouldn't be requiring your degree in the list of candidate requirements, but they also shouldn't place a lot of value on it if they're not doing that kind of R&D. I've met a few computer science Ph.D's who showed up on day 1 and appeared to have the coding skills of someone who used BASIC for an assignment in their "Technology" class in high school. One wonders if they're even the kind of people who got pushed through a program so their advisor could stop dealing with them. Maybe they are great at researchers, and abstract thought, and maybe they were very well versed in writing code a decade ago. Maybe they're just not good at it. But either way stuff like this isn't made up: https://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/. Leetcode comes about to deal with that. Not saying it's a great solution, but don't dismiss the problem.

A small but important detail that is always off to me in these views is the use of white and black to create shadow and highlight. Real color os much subtler than this and simply dropping pure white or black on top of the base color rarely creates a realistic or attractive mix. The yellow box example in the article is the best example of black shadowing at its worst. A more realistic (and attractive) shadow effect could be achieved by understanding how the material would actually reflect light differently - there would be richer, deeper oranges, not just "grey orange".

In a cashless society, that option is completely off the table, and you will be forced to rely on the goodwill of others to buy things for you, and hope they don't also get turned off by sin of aiding you.

I’ve been writing go since it basically came out. Every single one of you’re comments is anecdotal so here we go. I’ve never, ever, encountered an issue compiling / building go code using modules. You also said in your first argument that you get no access to raw threads then a comment later said you do. It seems like you’re just advocating for people to use java because it’s what you’re comfortable with.

Maybe this reasoning can be applied to Hacker News itself. The moderation probably plays a big part in the quality of the content found here. However, HN is also indexed on Google, has a few way to discover more ("past" button, seeing a user's comments or posts), and also has an excellent Algolia integration. For example, dang often refers to some of his previous posts using this: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... I wonder if all those things that make the information longer lasting also raise the average quality.

Nonsense. Sending USD or EUR (or any other currency) to Ukraine is very simple. You can go to their funding page, enter your credit card, and you're done. Then they've got money they can actually use.

What are they doing with all the crypto? Did they convert it to fiat? Is it just sitting there?

The only reason so many cryptos were sent is because there a lot of people who don't know what to do with their cryptos, they can't use it for anything and liquidating large amounts of crypto is a pain in the ass.
> Do they save time? Seriously, add up the time: what is the net gain or loss? Is cash hard to use?

Good lord yes. Have you not ever been stuck behind someone struggling to count out exact change? Cash is a huge time wasting pain in the ass.

> multi-region durability

Why is this important? Why can't they get by with a traditional main server plus some backups with a sync, plus failover when the main server goes down? It seems to me that all of your questions are issues that have been often discussed over the last 20 years, and they all have well known answers, except perhaps "multi-region durability". Leave that out, and you've well known answers for your other questions. And it seems to me, what they are saying is that they found it easier to go with a boring and traditional setup, that is, a boring and traditional setup is easier than any other setup.
> C++ is long in the tooth

C++ is mature, there's a difference. It's definitely not "long in the tooth" as it still has plenty of modern features & niceties and is getting more all the time.

> C++ is really struggling with its identity now that Rust is on the scene

C++'s identity struggles have nothing to do with Rust whatsoever. It's struggling to balance ABI & historical compatibility with moving the language forward, that's about it. And that's just something many mature languages face at some point (see Python3 for example).

Beyond that struggle of supporting legacy code, there's no identity crisis with C++ at all.

> the best argument for C++ is just that it has a larger ecosystem (which says more about how old C++ is than how good it is as a language). That argument becomes less convincing with each passing day.

It's still an incredibly convincing argument. Rust has decent C interop, but it's not especially seamless to do safely. But Rust's interop with C++ is rather complicated. So if you have any C++ dependencies, you're almost certainly far better off to just go with C++. Even if you just have C dependencies and someone else hasn't yet made a crate for it, you might still be better of with C++.

Particularly since many of the Rust crates that bind to popular C & C++ libraries are not owned or maintained by the library in question. So you're entering into a bit of a sketchy maintenance world. And there's already been churn & abandonware here, for example the various projects (including one from Mozilla/Servo!) to bind to libpng that were then later all abandoned, and you're supposed to migrate to rewrites of PNG support in Rust like LodePNG. This is not ignorable churn & risk.

It can be fun, and if it's a hobby project absolutely go for it. But if you're on the clock to ship & maintain something, it's a risk you must consider quite seriously.
It varies, like it does for literally every other combination of hardware and software on the market, but mine gets between 8 (light web browsing) and 12 (terminal programming, no web browser running, wifi disabled) hours on a single charge.

Yeah it’s kinda a weird situation where we moralize stimulants and only prescribe them to people when it’s medically necessary despite it actually being safe for basically everyone when monitored by your doctor. Like this gatekeeping makes is an absolute PITA for me because I do have ADHD and have to jump through so many hoops just to maintain my prescription because the war on drugs or something.

Like we don’t make some guy prove that their ED is debilitating and get psychologists notes and make them get blood tests constantly to make sure they’re taking it to get viagra, the only standard is “can you take it without messing up your health.”

If you made this stuff accessible to anyone who wants it there would suddenly be no reason to worry that ADHD patients are selling it on the side.
The author should have state from the start that the article he bases this upon is about social science and not the whole academic and science world, it's kind of misleading

Social science has always been full of incertainty and biased results, it seems rather normal the public don't trust it blindfully.
I know why they are doing what they are doing, I'm just not paid for it. If I was paid by value produced rather than my skills I'd demand far greater control of the business, complete transparency and would refuse tasks that don't generate sufficient value. That just isn't the relationship most companies want, they would like to dictate what I work on and pay a flat rate for it. You can't have it both ways.
> Before the pandemic, America was already gobbling up 83.1 percent of the global supply. But in December 2020, prescriptions for Adderall skyrocketed.

So it was high before, but now even became higher? Something tells me when 1 country accounts for more than 80%, there is already something going very, very wrong. This has nothing to do with ADHD, this is a culture problem.
