Ask HN: Why can't I learn anymore?
I've been a software dev for 15~ years professionally and over the course of my career have moved from front end to full stack and back to front end depending on the project. I make multiple 6 figures and by all accounts could be considered "successful".

My most recent gig after working for years in React and Angular I've had to move to a new framework (Vue) due to project requirements that I did not write. As a senior contributor I'm expected to handle the complex stuff but after five months on the project I feel fatigued - like I just don't care enough to work on this project. I don't know if it's JS framework fatigue or the project itself or even depression. But I feel like after 15 years of doing this I'm getting "dumber" to the point where I question the most basic things in coding. It's rather discouraging.

My boss is pretty cool and has kept an open door to let them know if I want to switch projects but I'm worried (without evidence) that if I say anything I'll be put on something even "harder" when I can't bring myself to write some simple JS these days.

Anyone ever experience this? I'm in my mid 30s.
This looks to me like a script that will shoot you in the foot at some point by removing a package that you've forgotten to put in the configuration list.

If you're going to the effort to define the list of packages you want installed on a machine then go with something like Ansible, Chef or Puppet that gives you the tools to do it correctly.
google doc. is well used for typing.
Same in the UK - https://www.theweek.co.uk/london-house-prices

I think it’s a combination of not enough available housing (and pandemic increasing costs for building new homes), fall in the value of the denominator due to central bank action, and people moving often having lots of equity in their existing home they shift to the new one so the increase in mortgage size isn’t huge.

There won’t be a big crash (unless we see a deep recession with rising unemployment and defaults) but central bank tightening and raising rates will definitely curb house price growth in the next couple of years.

That's what I was thinking too. For tax, MyGov is so much better than the e-tax system was. It saves a lot of time.
>> A degree makes these things substantially more likely.

There is a bit of a leap from more likely on a low probability event to probably will pay off their debt.
Getting promoted at a Faang company takes a good bit of work. Becoming a director is not something most people can expect. I’ve never heard of a promo committee at a Faang Corp take a degree into consideration and I’ve known plenty of director level people at faang companies who had no grad degree. If the person learns some useful new skills that could open doors. The credential might also help open some doors that an obscure college would not. But saying they are likely to make it back in 6 months is a bit of a stretch.
I really think most of the solution is in the first part of your plan.

There’s no need to micromanage tenant-landlord relationships or setup governmental panels on who historically deserves to live where, if the government can just make sure there is an oversupply of decent housing at all affordability levels.

The rest really takes care of itself at that point.
I am incredibly upset by the difference in speed of writing the text and drawing the SarcMark.

What? I'm out here saying "having homelessness is bad." And "reduce open parking lots so we can house people."

I think you'll find if you increase housing supply and density you're likely to end up with more natural spaces, not less.

The Guardian might have been "crucified" for their reporting, but they did report on it.
Targeted killing and assassination are two different things in the eyes of the law. Please stop conflating the two.

Like I said, I’m no legal scholar. This is what I’ve come across for legal opinion:

The criteria set by the following, outlining the circumstances of legal targeted killing of US citizens, here:

https://scholarship.law.vanderbilt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?a...

In conjunction with the original memo arguing justification, here:

https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/second-circuit-foia-r...

…seems convincing to me.

As long as a certain criteria is met, extrajudicial targeted killings of US citizens is probably legal:

“The practice of targeted killing can be used in a manner that is consistent with U.S. and international laws. Permissible targets will be of a military nature, and killing them will serve a military objective. No laws, international or domestic, prohibit the practice if it is carried out by a state against an enemy of that state actively engaged in an armed conflict against that state. When the target is a U.S. citizen, the U.S. Constitution demands certain additional procedures before the U.S. government may kill the target. The Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause dictates these procedures. The procedures ensure a just determination of the target's permissibility as a military matter and the subjective intent of the target not to avail himself of the further protections to which he is entitled as an American citizen. A neutral decisionmaker should balance the targeted citizen's life against the risk he poses. If the decision comes out against him, then the military may launch a strike.”

Do you have an official release of this disposition matrix, AKA kill list? It seems it’s existence has been confirmed via leak. I don’t see any info about who exactly is/has been on it.

“The process determining criteria for killing is not public…”

Knowing about it is not very useful if you don’t know the criteria. It’s not very helpful at all, in fact, in determining legality here.
A solid kick would likely dissuade a turkey, but then you'd be on rather low moral ground for harming a relatively harmless bird. This turkey seems like quite the outlier, most birds just put on a show of hissing and flapping wings and it's sufficient to just walk away from them. Not to mention the risk that someone gets the incident on camera and posts it on Twitter, accusing you of animal cruelty.
It can happen for a while with large year-over-year headcount growth + manager attrition. But eventually, the music stops.

I wonder how long I have on T-Mobile, I keep getting texts like "T-Mobile: Action needed. VoLTE settings may be affecting service quality for phones on your account.". On this particular account there is a single Nord N200 5G bought from T-Mobile, and as far as I can tell VoLTE works fine on it.
This might be interesting for you: https://malisper.me/category/debugging-common-lisp/
> VoLTE has really put an end to that for me, as I'm on LineageOS.

This is extremely device dependent. Out of officially supported LineageOS models, the general rule of thumb has been VoLTE that works in stock firmware on Motorola or Oneplus will also work in LOS. Samsung won't as they have a proprietary implementation.

AT&T goes a step further than just blocking devices that don't register on IMS and also runs IMEI whitelists so almost all imported phones will not work on their network.

My home is currently valued at 1.7m. I'm acutely aware of the cost of owning and maintaining a home.

But "homes have costs" does not axiomatically lead to "housing must therefore be a market."

Haha, absolutely.

A lot of EU countries also mandate E10 gasoline in a misguided effort to reduce GHG emissions. I'm not sure where they get all that ethanol from, but I'm sure it's a similar agribusiness scam as US corn ethanol.
I’m surprised anyone has heard of Forest Knolls! I grew up there.
It definitely used to be weird and relatively affordable for the middle class but not really any more.
Last year someone bought a house in the neighborhood for $1.3 m. It was worth $350k when my parents moved to the area about 25 years ago. The new owners have a pair of new Porsches in the driveway. Maybe that counts as middle class in the Bay Area these days but it’s still not obtainable for the vast majority of Americans.

Yup, choice in phones was one of AT&T's only advantages over Verizon (remember when their phone selection was literally the Island Of Misfit Phones?) and that's gone now.
Do you find ooda useful for general problem solving? I’ve only found it useful in dynamic environments, especially when there are other agents who act in addition to react.

The theory is that you want to get inside the other agents decision loop, so you can iterate faster than they are. For general problems, I have not found it very useful - curious how you use it for a typical engineering problem, if you wouldn’t mind sharing an example.

I speak Spanish and I think it's not as logical as English. It seems Spanish can express more passion but it falls short when it needs to be succinct and to the point. For example "if" is translated to "si", which is the exact word as "yes" (except without the accent mark, which itself another issue). "Or" is just "o", and so on where logical conjunctions aren't unique. That said, I think it could be a good start for Spanish speakers that haven't yet learned English.

I wonder what could be the best human language to use for a programming language, including any ancient language. Maybe Sanskrit or something even more logical than English?
The government would pay to do it. Or there would be taxes or rents paid to developers in accordance to the number of people housed x the quality of the housing. Or people like me would rent units because housing is important, and rent their space at cost.

We can choose to pay for housing for everyone, we just have to adjust the formulas we use to decide who benefits.

You need to run it in a separate process. Rust does not have good enough fault isolation features to safely assume a buggy image processor won’t break your app.

* Entering an infinite loop can bring down everything. A separate thread might not, but since Rust provides no way to kill a thread without it cooperating, there is no way to stop a stuck thread without bringing down the whole process.

* Stack overflow is an instant abort, not a panic.

* Double panic, where panicking calls a destructor that itself panics, is an instant abort.

Ive experienced this a few times over my career. Everyone has different reasons but try to find the root reason, is it because the work is not challenging enough? Maybe Project is something you've done many times before or maybe you are simply burnt out. Maybe it's time to try something new?

There are always new things to learn and you've shown that over the years. Once you have the reason you can try to address. It might not be clear, the reason and everything might feel like a drag but try to narrow it down, sharing with a friend/relative/mentor helps.
There might be a perception thing involved as well. Insects tend to emit sound in high frequencies and adults get worse in hearing those as they age. When I was in my early 20s, my mother once swore there were no crickets around while I was like "how can you not hear them? They're so loud...". Nowadays, I wonder were the crickets have gone...

The Germans don't really have any more right to it than she does. The most likely story of this bust is from the 5th century until the 18th or 19th centuries, it was buried in the ground somewhere in Italy or former Roman empire.

The person who dug it up and sold it didn't really have an inherent right to it. They just found it.

I say all this not from a legal perspective but from an inheritors of history and culture perspective. We all inherit humanity's history and culture.

While cheesy, Indiana Jones was right: "It belongs in a museum" so it is accessible to humanity. But is that museum inherently this German one?
How do you interpret this point (and subsequent paragraph) from the post I was responding to?

> To those who say that less jail time is good, I would point out a fallacy in the common criminal justice reform …

At another part in that post this person brought up issues with lack of prosecution (which by definition means less jail time) and diversion (ditto).

So… in your estimation the author was… advocating for more people to go to jail but also supporting the idea of shorter sentences while pointing out that people that say that advocating for shorter sentences means to fall for a fallacy?

This poster wants to point out that the push for less jail time is the result of a fallacy, but thinks it’s good??

Did you read the post I responded to? What did you think was trying to be expressed?
Nobody "decided" that housing is a market. If something can be bought and sold, then this is inherently a market.

Yes, we can and should regulate markets, and we probably all agree that the purpose of the housing is for people to have a roof over their head, as opposed to use housing as an (speculative) investment market. This can easily be regulated via taxes (on ownership and transactions), but it comes with a caveat: if something is over-regulated to benefit the user, then there is less incentive for investor/landlord to build housing, which makes housing scarcer and drives prices up.
Do you not see any obvious flaws in your desired changes?
If the network is managed well, they'll keep users, and grow through word of mouth...if not...it'll tank.
Great post, kudos!

For two cents, I’ve been in leadership roles (VP, or VP-equiv) at three big/huge companies now (Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft) and I don’t even have a Bachelors degree. This is somewhat unusual but not a one-off by far.

Job descriptions often say “or equivalent experience” (meaning professional experience) and in probably 1-2 cases during my career, a requirement to have a degree with no “or” clause included still hasn’t been a huge issue.

Impressed with all the research you did here and and your being intentional about objectives and how to get there, good luck!
I had near zero interaction in (physical) college regarding learning while we spent an awful lot of time on coursera dedicated irc rooms on (now dead) freenode, it was really vibrant, good spirit, no cheat, just sharing some hints at times, discussing the ideas.

It's absolutely realistic, and the fact that you're writing it off so quickly shows your ignorance. Social housing is successful in many parts of the world. Look at Singapore, for instance.

Mandatory parking minimums are going away in cities across the US, and units are getting more housing as a result.

Washington State is considering removing single family zoning.

Cities like Paris have many smaller apartment complexes that are public housing.

Everything I've suggested either exists or is being discussed seriously in some capacity. But, by all means keep your head in the sand rather than try to engage with actual housing policy.
“But in the case of a targeted killing, senior executive branch officials explicitly designate one U.S. citizen as a target and attempt to kill him specifically outside of a standard battle. The result is that the U.S. citizen needs to be on notice that he stands suspected of being a traitor or of committing some other crime. If he is given this information, he can make the choice either to surrender himself to the United States, stand trial, and possibly clear his name or to continue to fight and die with the enemies of the United States.”

“Before the United States killed him, Al-Aulaqi should have been given notice that he was wanted for treason, or another crime, and that if he refused to return and stand trial, then he would be considered a military target. Functionally, A1-Aulaqi had notice that he was on a kill list. The media had been abuzz about killing him, and his father even filed an unsuccessful lawsuit on his behalf. Nonetheless, he did not return to the United States for trial.”

Doesn’t sound like it’s the government’s responsibility to bring charges. It appears to be the individual’s responsibility to surrender.

I had to do something similar for building out an automated hardware test cluster of ARM devices for OS testing. We settled on a bunch of varied SBCs (we were less concerned with peripherals than we were different SoC features/configs). Every SBC we found supported ARM CoreSight over some external pins (and, for better or for worse, had no way of disabling it) and so we were able to just wire them up to a test host so that it could supervise and capture detailed panics even when we had very early "dark" panics. It's a really neat setup and it's been great for productivity too since, as mentioned in the post, you can use the test cluster as remote dev hardware and test on real silicon from your desk without needing to lug around test boards, a bundle of debug cables, and wasting all your laptop's ports just to boot hardware.
So the landlord what, eats all of the downside in that scenario? But I'm sure you'd also restrict their ability to raise rents on other tenants (if they have multiple units) to compensate, so why would the landlord even do this to begin with? It's potentially 100% downside and restricted upside.
You don't believe, and in fact nobody believes, that the exclusive reason for charging Assange with the hacking charges is that he's a hacker. It's obvious to everybody that he is being charged because of legitimate political speech, and this was just what they felt they could 'get him for'. Whether or not he is guilty, that means that the legal system is being used for political ends.

What's wild to me is that so many people are OK with this. Politically motivated prosecution is not normal in a democracy.

Housing, food, books... parking?
Housing is fungible in a remote work world. So construction in cheaper locales can help reduce costs in HCOL areas. E.g. people migrate from CA to FL, reduces number of households in CA. Not for local jobs of course

But anyway, beyond fungibility, demographic trend is towards population decline. Spread between population growth and rate of new home construction is at an all time high.

And even CA recently passed a law allowing densification on certain SFH plots

> The US has mind-boggling amounts of land available. What's changed is the ability and desire to build on it.

Times have changed and most people don't want to live in marginal lands that are available in mind boggling quantities. In addition, the reason that a lot of cities were built a few generations ago in the hinterlands was because manpower was needed for resource extraction industries, which have since either become highly automated or fallen into secular decline. We are no longer a nation of farmers and miners.
