> Basically, I want to grow old doing what I love, not feeling that I am working.

That’s where I’m at, now. I was forced into that, but, after a few years, I’ll admit it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.

I’m not rich; and likely never will be, but I’m going to be fine. I was considering working for another ten years, and adding more to a pile, but it would have cost me my soul.

This was made quite clear to me, when I started interviewing, after leaving my previous job, of almost 27 years.

Many companies were openly hostile and insulting; right out of the starting gate, and I found that I inevitably ran into at least one person, in subsequent interviews, that started the bullying.

I’m pretty much certain that it’s because I’m older, although it may also be the zeitgeist of today’s tech working culture.

Made it clear, that, even if the company hired me, they would be treating me with disrespect.

So I took my toys and went home. Very grateful to have the means to do so.

And I’ve gotten used to setting my own agenda, without insecure middle managers or cow orkers crapping all over my work.

I never stopped “working.” In fact, I’ve “worked” harder in the last four years, than I ever did, when I was earning a paycheck.

But it barely feels like work.

I plan to keep "working" until the day I pop my clogs. The coroner will need to rub "YTЯƎWϘ" off my cheek.

No, it is literally a public company. TWTR is traded on NASDAQ. Which is why we are having this discussion based off of SEC filings. Private companies are not required to file with the SEC.
Definitely. Part of this priviledge should truly be sharing your knowledge and helping others in need. It's almost a given in my book.

> the timing is just so much convenient for the west

Convenient how? The west will still do nothing.

Meanwhile Russia is trying to demoralize the Ukrainians into accepting shitty peace terms knowing they won't face real repercussions while trying to save face.

If this actually was proven to be a false flag the Ukrainian state would be done, forever. You might think your logic is sound but it isn't.

And that's on top of the fact that, well, all evidence points to Russia doing it.
In the land of hypotheticals it may work like that.

But in reality, once a customer is used to paying a price, and is willing to pay a price, prices don't decrease.

And we already have a metric ton of Clash clones, To Do lists, and whatevers. The amount of choice on the platform is already pretty large.

And once again, if people are paying for the item already, what incentive is there to dump more money into the product? No, you capture that as more profit.

As to "it's not 30%". It's not for a single app. But Apple works at a large scale. They have to host even the apps that are pure costs for them. There aren't many companies that operate at that scale. And of them: Valve takes 30%, Sony takes 30%, Microsoft took 30%, Google took 30%. Google and Microsoft are only now looking to reduce their percentage.

And while it's probably not 30%, it's definitely not 0%.

Many people are overweight because their sense of hunger is poorly calibrated. To overcome that, they need to change something permanently. They need changes in their lives that help them to stay at a healthy weight without being hungry for the rest of their lives.
America just had a President who explicitly declared the press to be the enemy of the people.

Ignoring the degree to which the American press voluntarily acts as a propaganda platform[0], the US government absolutely does censor the press, by revoking or controlling press credentials, arresting reporters covering protests, harassment, etc[1].

And the US has historically censored the mail, yes, usually during wartime. But the bigger problem is surveillance - the USPS tracks, photographs and logs all paper mail for government surveillance and law enforcement[2]. The USPS also has a 'covert operations' division that monitors social media posts[3].

You could (correctly) claim that this isn't nearly as bad as the surveillance and censorship regimes elsewhere, but it's difficult to see how making that easier by giving the government direct control over a primary means of global communication makes it less likely.

This is true, but you end up walking for about an hour and fifteen minutes a day to walk 7,000-10,000 steps.

If you do this on top of drives to the store/work that’s a lot of your day.

Whereas if your errands or commute involve walking then you only need to take a short walk to walk enough.
The majority of my life has been out of my hands or control.

So it doesn't feel like "my life", rather on a ride I can't get off or interface with.

For me to find value in something, it should grant at minimal autonomy.

Elon Musk to Join Twitter’s Board of Directors
Ok, let's take a step back and look at your analogy. Pollution is a classic problem of externalities: one party is doing something that has costs, but those costs fall on people who are uninvolved. You have a company that is producing lots of pollution while creating products (A), the people who buy those products (B), and the people who are harmed by pollution (C). The reason that A doesn't take appropriate steps to avoid creating pollution is that neither A nor B suffer most of the costs of the pollution; those fall on C.

Netflix adding an ad-funded option does not fit that model because, as I said above, there are no externalities. It is a transaction entirely between Netflix and its viewers, with no uninvolved third parties who receive "toxic waste". Each potential subscriber can decide whether they prefer to pay larger amount for the current experience, or a smaller amount and also have to view ads.
> It's all pointless and divisive.

It's not pointless. Divisiveness drives engagement; engagement drives ad money.
It isn't that recent. The ancient greeks lifted weights and ran for general health. We know the Olmecs played ball games and one imagines they observed the health effects of staying active. Boxing is at least 5k years old. There are 15k year old cave paintings of wrestling. The Maasai have intentionally practiced high jumping for ? centuries. One can imagine that early persistence hunters probably ran competitively, as their modern counterparts do. A lot of these activities had non-health purposes but it isn't a stretch to think people in the distant past associated activity with health.

It's being sedentary that's quite recent.

I don't know. They haven't finished the homeless count for 2022. I suspect they are scared to announce it. People are probably dropping off from housed to unhoused at unprecidented levels. I wouldn't say our lives are way to good right now.
I read it again recently and I found it still pretty interesting.

From a SF aficionado point of view, Neuromancer world has:

-An economy that rely on ubiquitous computer networks.

-Colonization of low orbit.

-An AI rebelling and doing its own thing.

-Digital downloads of personalities.

In 1984.. I mean, OK, the concepts already existed, but it really break with most of the SF that was being done until then.

It's the beginning of a really dark SF, that I suppose was the point: "If we follow the current path, the future will look like corporate feudalism".

By the way, from a political point of view, the fear of the Japanese taking over is now the fear of the Chinese taking over. I will let the "dystopian future dominated by megacorps" comment as an exercise for the reader.
> File grouping means that by default Geeqie will only show the JPEG file of each photo, while the RAW file and potential sidecars (e.g. XMP or PP3) are hidden away, but still only one click away. Then when a file is deleted all the files in the same group are deleted as well. Sidecar grouping works well by default, but if necessary it can be tweaked it in Preferences

I would be interested in reading OP's approach with sidecars, and how he configured Digikam for storing metadata (in file or in sidecar ? How does the two communicate between Digikam and Rawtherapee/Darktable ?)
So, I might just be way off, but even in measure 7 I'd use a D flat instead of C sharp. It feels like a diatonic run in the violin with the D flat borrowed from the key of F minor to me (which is only one flat away from the key you're already in). I know the "rule" about using sharps going up and all, but that really just feels like a diatonic run to me.

The B natural (raised 7th in C minor) helps keep you grounded by pulling very hard back to C minor. Also, the B natural is the raised 4th of F minor, and raised 4th is being used a lot when you're on the tonic as well which helps keep the feel. Very much double harmonic minor in feel all taken together.

Your actual question... Honestly I don't know and feel the same as others you've asked. I guess the violin in measure 12 feels like it's hitting a flat 5, so personally I'd choose G flat throughout that section for consistency. But I dunno, it's kind of a toss up to me.
Is it a private association when the extent of a reach of a given entity rivals that of a nation-state? I am not disagreeing with your argument in principle. There has to be balance. Right now, that balance is out of whack.
This was my conclusion as well. "Enjoying your life" may seem self-indulgent to some at first. But then you realise that a normal human being has morality, desire to help others and build something built-in, and in order to enjoy life to the fullest you have no choice but to do those things as well.

This was almost certainly done by a lawyer working on his behalf. This strikes me as a technicality of paperwork that is being seized upon by the media as a way to portray Musk in the worst possible light.

> I wouldn't want somebody like him on my board

In this hypothetical, what is your role (i.e. fellow shareholder, CEO, employee)? I ask because shareholders (aka the owners of the company) choose the board. Musk owns nearly 1/10th of the company, and is now the largest shareholder, institutional or individual, by a good margin. In other words, whatever your hypothetical role, you wouldn't have much of a choice.

Setting the mechanics of boards aside, there is strong case for him being the most successful business person alive. He is right up there with Bezos, Gates, and Zuckerberg. Shareholders should be cheering this on. And there is some evidence, in the form of the stock price, that they are.
You can analyze components, but that doesn't give you a process to recreate in scale. Many aromas and stuff are remainders of some Enzym processing things or some chemical reaction where the initial ingredient is dissolved.

I myself spend some time in bread and a part of the taste of bread comes from my bacteria/yeast culture growing here at my place, feeding of stuff which is in the air at my place. If i go elsewhere that already changes to a small degree. If I vary temperature, humidity of air ... this has impact. On industrial scale the impacts are way more as they use processes to ensure the end product stays as much the same as possible independently from changes to ingredients (natural products change with each harvest ...) and where it is processed further (a Big Mac is, by McD, supposed to be as equal lgibally as possible) this is done by having Enzyms, chemicals and other comments doing their work.
The Indy, which predated the Octane, started much lower ($5k according to Wikipedia, presumably in mid-nineties dollars), but yeah your point very much stands.
I wondered WTF was happening on my alma mater's subreddit when suddenly the whole front page became "we have to defend/win back our r/place space!!1!" I checked a few other college subreddits, and yup, this has become a spam scourge.
A tiny bit of me - just a tiny bit - thinks: what's the point?

Or - maybe it's more like: what percentage of this activity is actually about organisation, and what percentage is about having a fun time using the organisational tools?

I'm not belittling it, at all. My knowledge organisation journey has gone through similar (not quite so well-thought out) paths: Evernote, docs, Keep, finally now on Obsidian with the knowledge that MD is just ...MD...

But - if I'm honest the "what's your PKM suite" conversation is such a well-oiled meme on HN that I can't help but wonder how much of this journey is actually about the journey, the fun of setting up a new set of tools, the enjoyment us nerds get out of coming up with new structures, new ways of approaching things, groovy metadata schemas, tagging, search....

Ultimately, does it make us quicker at finding or using or remembering stuff? I'm not sure. I know plenty of people who put literally no thought into any of this and can still lay their hands on that bill from 1986, or pluck a fact out of thin air.

As I say, this question shouldn't stop us from trying, but it's interesting to reflect on the little frisson of pleasure I know I get (and I suspect everyone else does, too) when they implement The Next New Thing and realise THIS IS IT.... for the next 6 months... :-)
> and Elon wouldn’t be buying part of it if he didn’t think he could turn a good profit.

Unless he was buying a seat on the board so that he could help effect change that he desired.
haha, I have to admit I also started to wonder if this was an April Fools' joke about how Google searches are a developer's main tool.
They didn't say walking was "impossible" just "disincentivized" which I'd have to agree with. A majority of the housing developments I've seen go up in the Bay Area put you several miles, at least, from any shopping. Your friends probably live way farther away than that. So you've got nowhere to "walk to", for a purpose. Sure it's probably walkable in so far as their are slow streets and sidewalks - but you have to walk for the sake of walking vs walking for destination hence "disincentivized".

I go for a 30mn walk everyday in my neighborhood in the 'Burbs. It totally can be done, but just in the modern "go go go" society. Most people want walking to at least be a means to an end. And yes, I mean a directly "right here, right now" end, not "being health".
Thank you for your comment. I hope you gain clarity on how to create a deep and loving connection with your family. I wish you all the best!
> You don’t need CNN for that. You have an archive of HN commentary from 2016 saying they’re “convinced” Trump was in bed with Russians.

So? People, especially amateurs, jump to unwarranted conclusions all the time. Being "'convinced' Trump was in bed with Russians" is the same kind of error being "convinced" that CNN was "lying" about it.

From what I can tell, Alabama has all the regular subsidies for ACA plans. What they don’t have is Medicaid expansion. The federal government offers states money to expand Medicaid to anyone making less than the minimum needed for ACA plans. Some states like Alabama have refused the money and continue to only offer it to specific subgroups of low income people, usually only after they spent 100% of their assets also.

When rationing and rate-limiting are applied on the basis of the content of the speech, then yes is is absolutely censorship and there are supreme court cases to back that up.

Counting instructions is very accurate and roughly approximates power usage. The CPU's self-reported power usage is comparatively pretty noisy. Unit tests will probably be done running before you can get meaningful data. I have to wonder if a test runner is the best point of integration for this. It might make more sense to expose it as a bench harness, like criterion.

EDIT: another benefit of a criterion-like approach is that you wouldn't require nightly

Getting a dog can be a great way of forcing you into it. I easily surpass this everyday now, when previously I could have been described more as an indoor cat. I can't count how many times I've been stuck on a tough problem during the workday, and then a mid-day walk with the dog clears my mind enough to solve it.

edit: obviously exercise your best judgement if this is appropriate for you, do appropriate research, adopt don't shop etc.

In this very thread there are people spouting pop-philosophical aphorisms who spend their working days building out machine learning algorithms to help target people in ads better.

It's more than toxic, it's ailing. It's not just HN, it's the general inability of people to perceive themselves. These things are taught in the humanities, a field of study that's pretty poo-pooed in the tech world as nonsense. It's no surprise, especially when you can make such a great living targeting people in ads better, roping them into buying more useless crap by confusing their own personal philosophical journey while stumbling face-first into your own.

Everyone has to face down the abyss at some point. Usually at many points. It's interesting to hear about the 'journey' from people who've spent their careers heaving people into that abyss (metaphorically speaking, of course)...

I agree, though. If more people faced the reality that: they do not know why any of us are here, and that there is no rule that dictates tomorrow, that we didn't exist at one point and one day will die (and even further, how we figure we are at all extricable from our surroundings)... then I think people would make vastly different choices.

Thanks! I do think there's a shift there from niche audience to much more significant mainstream attention (which can of course be fleeting, which was also kind of built into the original argument: attention moves on from time to time ...). I do recall the time when movies like "Old-boy" were favorites among the arthouse track/festival circuit-going audience as well, but those were never the headlining poster in a multiplex the way that a "Parasite" now pulls off.

I lived and worked in Korea for a German tech company for a few years (since returned to Berlin), working on-site with customers, and since about 2018/19 there's a very significant uptick in other people showing an interest and asking me questions about the experience. This often takes the form of "my teenage daughter is a BTS fan and learning Korean" and things like that.

Korea and Japan have a lot of shared history and have deeply affected one another, and in particular the business culture and the economic structure of Korea are heavily informed by Japanese influence, yes.

On a completely separate note, re interesting depictions of fantasy-Asia in a Western popculture/punk context: The headlining novel of the biopunk subgenre, Bacigalupi's "The Windup Girl", is set in a future Bangkok. I've never been to Thailand and can't comment on how ham-fisted or not this may be, but it was also an interesting step away from the Japanese culture-dominated vibes of speculative fiction pre-2000.

Hey, I wanted to share a project that we've been working on! Coppers is a custom test harness for Rust that allows you to measure the energy consumption of your test suite. A use case for this could be to identify regressions in energy usage, or to do more targeted energy optimizations.
Our goal was to make it as seamless as possible to integrate it with existing Rust projects. To make that work, we had to rely on some unstable and internal Rust compiler features that are only available in nightly. But the current implementation seems to be able to measure the energy consumption of almost every existing Rust crate we tested! (with the exception of embedded and system-specific crates, but that is a limitation we're looking into)
