I've been looking for earbuds for sleeping and listening to audio books before bed.

I don't think such as thing exists sadly. I had high hopes fir UE fits, but while the fit is great, they stick out too much for side sleeping.

They also had an annoying firmware issue where tapping didn't work until they quietly rolled out a fix and I happened to see it months later when I googled the issue again.

It says it is using sidenotes instead of footnotes, but all I see in the article is footnotes at the very bottom.
Excellent article. The biggest thing that I got is that AirBNB doesn't have a healthy culture. It seems like AirBNB is trying to foster a family-like environment where-in there is no division between work and life and that work is life.

Basically a common tactic of corporations is to espouse "we are a family" but it is just a manipulation tactic for employees to work long-hours and to give their all to the company. The "we are a family" mantra would be fine if it was coupled with a healthy separation of work and life; with the biggest indicator being that healthy working hours (around regular 8 to 9 work hours only) is maintained.

In contrast, something like Netflix culture which is "we are a team and not a family" seems like to be more of a healthier alternative. On a last point, the "we are a family" (i.e. we care about our employees as persons instead of just means or cogs) mantra is fine but it usually turns into "we are a toxic family" (i.e. give your all to the company) instead of it being a "we are a healthy family" (i.e. our company values each employee).

Practically speaking, it seems to be a bunch of tiny balls kind of like Legos in that they like to stick to others in various ways according to their types. According to the rules of matter and physics we get a bunch of emergent phenomena, basically contraptions made out of the Lego-balls. That's animals. But there's something else funny about it... it's not just a bunch of wild contraptions getting made by tumbling Lego-balls in the dryer for a long time. There's also knowing. It's not the Lego-balls doing the knowing, but certain very complicated configurations of the Lego-balls seem to be needed for the knowing to happen. So there's a vast physics playground, and contraptions are curling up out of the muck, and via their unusual configurations (made by evolution out of necessity to try to keep the contraptions functional in the merciless, remorseless physics playground), knowing arises, to whatever extent the configuration of the contraption allows. If one were to try to zoom out and see the whole progression I think it might look like a mind constructing itself, gradually rising up out of an unbelievable, incomprehensible mass of bloodshed and suffering, to be shining and bright, boundlessly kind, compassionate, joyful, and balanced, like a perfectly clear eye to watch what happens in the playground as if it was a flower in a process of endless blooming, clearly knowing that everything that happens is perfect.
Maybe this will incentivize companies to quit trying to force mobile web users into their Play Store/AppStore apps and make their mobile web experience usable. But seriously, with all of the fall out over Apple's AppStore payment mandates, it makes no sense to me why Google would do this now.
Internet Explorer but hear me out before you cry:

The current browser ecosystem has more or less two engines: WebKit based browsers and Firefox. We have basically WebKit monoculture. If you'd find a fundamental flaw in WebKit, you'd be able to break most browsers.
If Internet Explorer would be open source we would have the chance to get a third engine running. Browser engines aren't trivial and IE also had some good sides after all these years.

I guess if IE would become FOSS this would bring some fresh air to the ecosystem.
At the end of the day, nobody hires a generalist. So whatever you choose should either be private or creative.

But most importantly, the reason for the activity should be personal/internal. Otherwise the depressing reality of 0 will hit hard. I believe we're similar, with multiple interests, that's why I started my blog[1] and podcast, The Language of My Soul. But, the only audience is myself when I check it works fine haha.

I'd suggest writing. Trying to bridge together knowledge should be interesting. It's also very low commitment, just 5 minutes is good enough.

It’s a masterclass in running and leading a company.

For all other companies always reciprocate their loyalty. If there is none from their side, don’t invest in the company.

When you are just starting out fresh from study you still believe in the “we can do this team if only we work a bit harder.” , but that’s usually a myth.
I just want to mention here that "swimming in ideas" does not equal understanding.

For almost every discipline you need years of practice and appliation to be able to understand it deeper than most.

Don't take this the wrong way, but here's an XKCD somewhat related to this topic: https://xkcd.com/863/
You’ll hear it again in ten years, too. I suspect fusion energy is possible, it’s just really hard. It’s like powered flight, which was imagined for centuries and we couldn’t quite do it, until suddenly someone did it. Eventually, the physics, materials, and engineering will make a path.
Real experience for what workloads? Clicking around in the colourful purple GUI and typing commands in the terminal? Yes.

Running Hollywood-level graphical software, perhaps no. But I never tried.
No, that's not fair or reasonable. A decent (I mean that in both the moral and competence senses) manager understands that it's part of their job to protect naive and emotionally vulnerable junior employees from exploiting themselves
That's pretty accurate description of me. But I don't think it's that rare, especially for startup people. It's kind of expected for people working in small companies and especially solo founders.
The page is responsive. The sidenotes seem to always be available at the bottom as footnotes, but if your browser window is wide enough they also show up beside the location they appear in the text.
The notes showing up along the side is dependent on page width
I think it works best if you have a core field. The cross discipline knowledge would prevent group think and result in more original ideas.
For the majority of my pipelines I rerun from the start. The pipeline itself is idempotent, I don't care about each step and I much rather have a clean run than a fast run.

Since you mention that you like writing, and loves to swim to the ideas of others. I just thought that you should make notes on the ideas that you gathered. The related that idea to the other ideas. You need a system on how to organize those ideas.

Why not just use something like jira or trello at that point? Having to remember the color associations for subtasks physically seems a bit too much for me. Also, software is something you can access from anywhere and you don't have to be in one single place.
> I [...] didn't really rug pull on your response so I think it's fine.

No you didn't. All good. And I learned a lot from the extended answer. So I am thankful for the explanation.

> Developing heuristics for this is a bit of a hobby horse of mine. It feels tantalizingly almost doable with just a little bit more resources and time than I have.

I can totally understand the feeling. There are quite a few things that I'd like to go deeper into either at work or in private. But alas time.

> Now this is a proper difficult problem with (probably) fairly subjective answers.

I agree. And I don't have answers ready. A lot boils down to preference. Personally, for example I prefer written content over video. Except in a few areas were I like (some) explanatory videos. To me it comes down to the question of how easy I can skim the content when I am looking for an answer.

On the other hand - for deep immersion into a topic I use multiple media formats.

In terms of web search I sadly nowadays need to sift through a lot of seo-fied content that is there either to build a (personal) brand or to attract clicks for advertising revenue/affiliate revenue.

So in principle I agree with you on the noise problem. Still I also believe that there are real great gems to be found in the long tail. When I still feel like I came late to the party, but when I started out in the web in '97 there were so many lovely, quirky sites. So many places that people had put a lot of time, energy and thought into. And sites so packed full of information that I came away not only with more knowledge, but in awe that somebody would give this knowledge away for free.

There also were quite a number of horrible sites (my first ones probably included). So there was a noise vs. signal problem back then. Maybe not to the extent today, though.

> The machine it's on is a Ryzen 3900X with 128 Gb RAM. Most of the index is on a single 1 Tb consumer grade SSD.

Call me impressed. Sounds absolutely cool.

So even with a raid setup for redundancy this is doable.

May I ask how you decide to add me content? Do you follow links? Do you use other search engines' results as a starting point?

I could probably shoot many more questions, but don't want to be a nuisance.

Thanks for your time already.

The world is in trouble when your putting 17M into a Terminal designed to track and make money off of us? ie. Facebook. ie. we are the product?

No thanks, deleted. I'm a programmer, don't need a corporation in my terminal.
It’s not even that. GitHub still uses Jenkins internally to build and deploy their rails monolith.
It seems like this is a large part of the issue. He mentioned a few times he was promoted and well compensated. In order to get promoted you have to "exceed" expectations for your current level, which by definition means he went above and beyond what would have been normally been expected of him. Looking at his LinkedIn he got promoted from Mid level to Senior, to Staff engineer. Very few people at big tech companies achieve Staff engineer level.

His LinkedIn also says he joined Airbnb in 2016 which means his stock is worth multiple millions since IPO.
Assuming you're not showing up in something undeniably "dressy," like a dark-colored suit with a white shirt with French cuffs, being "casual" is more about your attitude with your clothes, how you wear them, than the clothes themselves.

Assuming you're wearing the same clothes in both situations, does it look like you're ready for a wedding or that you found the first few clothes in your closet with your eyes half closed and somewhat magically the color and fabric combination is eye-catching?
It works normally for me. I'm on a desktop computer. What is happening in your case?

As far as I'm concerned, my preference when learning a new language is to build (in order of preference):

* a CLI tool

* a backend service

* a plugin to an existing tool

* an HTTP API / web app

You will note that a basic CLI tool requires nothing but arg parsing to get started, no complicated library or abstraction layer, while as you advance in the list above, you will most certainly use more libs and less of the raw language constructs.

Also, in the case of Rust and other compiled languages, ease of distribution as a binary rather than a package or some form of arbitrarily complicated installation method certainly helps.

YMMV of course but this is my approach and maybe it explains a bit of the trend you're wondering about.
I realized AVI and AV1 is confusing.
They can instead add a link for "Original" in edited tweets. So everyone effortlessly see the latest update but if people see it controversial, they can click "Original" to see what it looked like when it was retweeted. The problem with likes still remains but eventually social contract might form that if tweet was editted you cannot harass people for retweeting or liking it.
I was talking about VK_NV_ray_tracing precisely, which is proprietary Vulkan extension. And I thought there was a similar situation with DXR(at first proprietary Nvidia extension and then common standard), but I was mistaken.
Thanks. And I agree.
For me, on Chrome/Mac, I get the previous About page as a popup that I have to explicitly dismiss. May be it is just me :o
One simple protip for the newly starters : don’t believe the hype. Don’t EVER buy into overwork “to take one for the team”. A small crunch at the end of a deadline : fine. A perpetual overwork culture is not something a family would do to you.

Also look at what a company does instead of what it says.

I agree. Even with France being a country with a lot of nuclear energy in the mix. Even for a country with more carbon based forms of energy there are probably better and lower hanging fruits.

Regulation would go a long way, like it did with Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) after Reagan and Thatcher came together to facilitate the "ban" on these substances. People slowly changing their buying behavior would not have sufficed.
Ok, but if you want to operationalize "cognitive breadth" and being able to "quickly comprehend" you need to actually be good at something.

No one is going to pat you on the head for learning the basics of a field 10x faster than someone else because the basics have very little value by themselves.

I say all of this as someone who is very curious and likes learning about new things.
That's why I wrote my comment, I had a very different experience than the one reported in the previous comment. Mine is genuinely a single data point though, but it was a curious difference.
Am I missing something? Is this just pure linkspam?
> PLEASE do not read any of these people's advice. Talk to a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, preferably a DOCTOR. DO NOT trust your mental health to strangers on the internet, be it reddit, or hacker news, or whatever.

I find this comment so overused, ignorant and dismissive. In my city it can take months to get a 20 minute appointment with a specialized doctor, while the internet is full of useful and scientific information and helpful people. That isn't even saying if the doctor really understands your problem or just dismisses it (had that often enough), like you dismiss other people's anecdotes. What are people supposed to do while they are waiting for an appointment for months with acute issues? I'd rather spend days myself and read the same information that a doctor (hopefully) would read in order to work on the problem before it gets worse or kills me.

So yes, try to talk to a medical professional at least once if you have the chance. If not or if it does not help, keep doing what you need to do and try to get the best information that you can find.
I had the opposite reaction...Google search was so 'generic' compared to how you could do laser focused searches with altavista...

That's where they are now. That's not where they started.
You're playing with people's lives when you give them medical advice without being qualified to do so.

If you trust a stranger's anecdotes on the Internet over your doctor (or even your own massively undereducated and biased interpretation of the situation), you are a fool, full stop. Unfortunately, sometimes the very disease you have causes you to make foolish decisions.

The only sane answer here is to get help from another medical professional. Any other option is exceedingly stupid.
+1 to Caldigit Thunderbolt. I bought a TS3 Plus almost two years ago and have been living the single-cable lifestyle since. Works great.
You raise a point companies should take seriously (making sure the improvements are substantial) and are wrong that the only way is new features.

From a company’s perspective, the PMs and devs good at optimizing existing features already exist. Why not hire them to work alongside and behind the devs and PMs good at developing new capabilities?
> nobody hires a generalist

I don't know about that. And I find the generalists do the hiring.

In the past I found probiotics extremely helpful for my mood as well, though lately they haven't seemed to effect me much (seems to have changed after I had a course of antibiotics, so perhaps the reason they had been effective was related to an interaction with some bacteria?)
A really important step is getting really good at /something/. Once you've done that, it's much easier to hit a similar level of competence in new areas a bit faster.

A big part of being good at something is really mastering the fundamentals. I tend to think it's possible to turn 'master the fundamentals' into a kind of transferable skill.

Another big part of mastery is pattern recognition, which develops from sheer experience. To some extent, learning to recognize important types of patterns is also a transferable skill.
That’s fair but disinformation and the lack of actions against it was part of why I left Twitter. As such, I feel strongly about my experience not being interpreted as the truth or that a significant portion of the company shares the same views as I do.
