I had a maker mindset during my childhood and in my college days. I was so into core digital and analog electronics and a lot of tinkering with Linux. I had some good and interesting time in my career in patches where I was doing embedded medical devices for 12 years wearing multiple hats. I had major personal projects and a lot of interesting stuff in the pipeline which I was excited to tackle.

After some personal family issues, things started declining rapidly as I was attacked from all sides emotionally and my very character was under the lens and being questioned. In the meantime I decided to change my company and all my personal projects were kept on hold prepping for the leetcode dance. Now getting back to what I was doing is becoming very difficult and I just don't have any interest in learning the never ending stream of new things to do even the most simple and basic of tasks.

Coupled with all this the horrible closed source mess of present embedded devices, terrible tools and also corporate nonsense and stupid colleagues really has me burnt out. I sometimes miss the days that my medical electronics would make a lot of difference to the end user. Now all I do is enable wireless connectivity for my customers who produce bullshit lifestyle gadgets in the name of IoT. Most of my colleagues are least interested and curious in anything.

It is also becoming very difficult to stay in a company for more than 2 years because of loss of interest coupled with hikes not matching rapid inflation. No meaningful work and relationships can be made with such rapid changes in life.

Can you elaborate on the problem there? I'm confused because as you described it, it seems just something like

Whatever you’re heating up has to be a little cooler than the coolest chips in your system, because heat only transfers that way.

Semiconductor lifetime goes down with temperature, roughly doubling failure rate for every 10C increase.

So if you want to heat something, it can only be to a low temperature. Heating buildings can work, but pasteurization requires temperatures near 100 C which reduces chip lifetime too much to be economical.
The main benefits of Ruby are its "clean" syntax, and it doesn't have function colors. It's a poorly designed language otherwise. If you've gotten used to good features of other languages, such as any sort of static analysis, you will find Ruby unpleasant to work with. It's also a dangerous language to choose for real world projects because of the community love of metaprogramming. This article shows off one of the weirder design flaws: Procs. There are blocks, procs, lambdas, Bindings, Methods, and UnboundMethods, most of which are classes (wtf?).
If you are hoping for more politicians that play hard ball with China, I am not optimistic.
Thank you for mentioning it, that made me take a re-look. I find the schema generator doc[0] hard to digest. But I do like that it uses the 'do one thing well' philosophy. Deepkit allows using just the ORM package, but I appreciate how detailed the warnings are on the mikroorm doc.

I am bullish for software developers. Since 2001 I have not been fired or laid off. I have been able to get a job within 4 weeks the whole time. (Probably 1 week if not fussy and just need money). Software is still eating the world, it just might have a bit of constipation during this period.

Developers can save companies money - handy in a recession. Developers can sell their skills globally (that has negatives too though...). And if a software company is still running it needs developers to fix the bugs, support the system.

I too have the same feeling. For me it was Turbo C and later Redhat Linux with its manual and website dump of text files of machine internals for learning to boot up things and program hardware.

Now it is a complete mess of APIs and frameworks with the core hidden deep. It gets so hard to start anything due to this and the interest evaporates very fast.
In some sense you are right. But it's extremely common for people to behave as if they believed in 'out of sight, out of mind'.

That's a big part of the reason to we don't let poor migrants into the country (almost whichever rich country you live in), and work menial jobs without a social safety net. 'Who wants to look at poor, miserable people?' Better to leave them to rot in other countries where we don't have to look at them..
I believe Hikaru is really well done and if one can get through initial barier (its still anime - some people would never watch it event if their life depended on it) it is really engaging story (considering the main topic - a boardgame!)
I'm not convinced the current trend is going to go particularly negative from a 2+ year perspective. Things got super overheated in 2020-2021 but demand is still strong, so I wouldn't be surprised if things level back off after the steam is let out.
Maybe, but it's not like the collecting-carts job destroys that other job.

"In the early 80s" Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States of America, Iran immediately gave up the hostages they'd been holding for over a year under Carter, and overall the world and the US rejoiced that a real leader was finally in charge of the US. That is what happened.
Brilliant idea. Most startups or side projects won't reach the day when a single 448vCPU machine is not enough to handle their traffic.

Yes. But: the quarter doesn't have to work on you. It just has to work on someone.

Depends where you put the intervention.

While USB has issues, the EU basically standardising mobile phone chargers was brilliant.

From what I understand of the accessibility issue, reduced motion is about reducing motion, so I don't think that making the motion faster/more visually intense would help those who need the reduced option.

I think this is a different thing from people who just want things to feel faster/snappier, vs those who have an accessibility need.
I'm not strictly against the idea, but progressive tax rates are NEVER progressive. The rich just suppress wages and use that money to pay the extra amount they're charged. They use TONS of games to hide money or claim losses where none exist.

Even worse, the money they keep from your paycheck that doesn't stay in their pocket due to tax loopholes gets them even more influence with politicians.

No matter how you slice that, the poor see ZERO benefit from this type of progressive tax.

Sales taxes are MUCH better. If the poor need a break, then cut sales taxes on food, medicine, and other subsistence items. Now everyone pays for exactly what they use. Because it is upfront, there are fewer games to be played. Because it is exchanged for an immediate good or service, all the crazy "losses" claims also go away.

You trading stocks? Tax time for you (this will also cut down on day trading and stabilize the stock market). You trying to move your money into something to hedge? Tax time for you. Taking out a massive loan backed by your stocks? Maybe we should tax that too. Getting a huge house with lots of stuff driving up your carbon footprint? Tax all that stuff too.

This tax seems like it's ACTUALLY progressive. It punishes extravagant spending and (through inflation) it taxes leaving your liquid assets sitting around. People don't have to spend billions every year on personal income tax filing either.
Ah, makes sense. You are correct in what I was referencing. To your point, I would expect most observational studies to be done with the expection of validating understood mechanisms.
You should try building it. There’s a big market if you can make it reliable.

Keep in mind there are other hot chips besides the CPU. Memory, network interfaces, and power supplies all need cooling too. Most systems are hybrid: water for the few hottest chips and air for everything else.
Those are fairly new-ish.
while technically correct, it was degraded in a number of interesting ways that one might describe as broken, but still within SLO

Really silly and not related, but I've tried half a dozen of these things for managing my kid's allowance and general spending, and they have all been a PITA. Either my kids can't sign up without a drivers license and credit check, or they can't send money to me or between themselves, or something else entirely. Maybe Apple has fixed this, but I do remember also trying Cash, and there was some deal breaker for my use.

Anyway, I ended up just writing a Matrix bot* that's a glorified spreadsheet. It's 600 lines of Rust, or probably 100 of Python. Works a treat!

Correct.

I also use the notation as a convention to indicate that I'm referring to a Unix command (or library function, etc.). E.g., "cat" might refer to a feline, but "cat(1)" should more clearly refer to the Unix / Linux command.

(Where I've got proper markup, I'll typically set commands or references in monospace using backtick notation: `dd`, `cat`, etc.

Which is both a misquote of Pelosi and obviously false because they had been working for months to build a bill that Republicans could support. Enzi, Grassley, Snowe were involved from February onwards and Obama addressed a joint session of congress in September and the final bill wasn't signed until the following March.

Why on earth would you believe people who have lied about every other facet of the bill (Death panels! unconstitutional individual mandate that they used to support!, illegal immigrants!) when it comes to their culpability for failing to improve it.

More specifically, Pelosi's quote about understanding the benefits of the bill after it was signed was in March 2010 on the eve of Obama signing it. The bill he was signing was voted on by the House in October 2009, and the Senate that December.
And Germans by and large put the coins back. They just use a Euro coin to help with that social institution. Most people could totally afford to lose a Euro, but it's The Right Thing to do to bring the cart back.

Similar to how when you are working as a programmer, it's good for not to break 'master'. You could rely completely on an honour system, or you could have an automated merge-check. In most places, the merge-check can be arbitrarily easy to bypass, but programmers would still by and large abide it.

Perhaps more directly to your question: Yes, as siblings note it is a manpage section number, but writing it like that is just a way to refer to programs; "cat" could be a feline, but "cat(1)" is a unix program. Oh, and it can disambiguate; printf(1) is a program you run from the shell, printf(3) is a C library function. IMO it's as much a cultural convention as anything.
> Is that more common in water-restricted municipalities?

Where I live, watering outdoor plants is only allowed 3 days a week, and only before 9AM or after 6PM on those three days. That doesnt mean growing vegetables is specifically illegal, but it does mean starting seedlings requires breaking the law during the warmer months.
amusingly this would also occur with writes as well.

there was some hueristic in there that tried to prevent it, but it wasn't very good.
It depends on the doctor. I know some who keep up with stuff, and some who don't and just rake in the cash.

It's worth making friends with the ones who keep up with stuff. Doctors like to party but they're so fucking overworked that they hit you up at like 11pm most of the time.

I don't know what you think "assuming" means. I'm not assuming it. You said anyone should spend 30 min in the sun and see how badly it hurts them.

I can spend an entire day in the sun without being sunburned.

This further proves that light skin was a vital premise of your claim (which is false).

I've been generally inclined toward adopting an existing taxonomy (or at least a usefully-sized portion of it).

[OP here]

I was ~14 when I wrote this (found it recently when looking through old files) which accounts for the questionable style and lack of citations. I thought it was entertaining and still somewhat informative so I posted it here despite its shortcomings.
It sounds like you definitely want to leave where you are, and you'd be happy with either option. If this is not the case I would start with thinking about all of the options available to you and gathering more details about all of the options.

Assuming you want to leave where you are and you'd be happy with either option, I have some questions for you to contemplate:

1. About your manager - Much of work happiness comes from who you work for. Kevin Kelly says, "Don't ever work for someone you don't want to become."

When you look at who you'll be reporting to and their managers, who would you most like to be like?

2. About the industry - It sounds like the industry is a factor in your decision (HRMS vs IT MNC). Which has more growth opportunity for your career and less likelihood of being replaced by automation?

3. About the work culture - A company that's been around for 7 years is not a startup. I'm filling in the blanks here. If it's about company size, what type of working environment is a better fit for you?

A smaller company may need you to do work that's outside of your area of expertise. You may need to make decisions to get stuff done without a lot of guidance and oversight. If you like understanding what you're meant to do and how what you do has an impact, this may not be the right fit as you may do a bunch of work that doesn't get used as the company tries to find its footing.

On the other hand, if you like rolling up your sleeves and thrive with ambiguity, a smaller company may be the better fit for you.

I help people get unstuck for a living. I need a bit more context to be truly helpful, but hopefully this provides you with things to think about that help you with your decision. All the best!
There is nothing confusing, but I don't think anyone would disagree.

But the point is - that's a pretty rare situation. I'd argue most people who want to do engineering would do it even if it paid less than trades.

Apple has a program that allows you to buy a new iPhone model and get some money back if you actually give them the old phone that you are replacing.

I was always under the assumption that apple actually recycles them because they want them in good condition, but maybe not? I also wonder if this is a program whose cost is factored in the final price of every iPhone (and therefore a cost that is distributed across the entire customer base), regardless if they are returning their old phones or not.
Also fallocate (Linux only though).
GP is talking about the Linux kernel's buffer cache. Unless you tell the kernel to operate directly on the disk, your reads come from and your writes go to pages within the kernel's buffer cache. Using a small bs probably results in a buffer of only bs bytes inside dd's address space, but the buffer cache is completely different and resides in the kernel.

That is, without iflag=direct, dd will repeatedly ask the kernel to copy bs bytes from the kernel's buffer cache into dd's address space, and then ask the kernel to copy bs bytes from its address space into the kernel's buffer cache.

In a sense, the value of currency is backed by the economy it is part of--how much people need to have it to buy stuff, pay taxes, and so on. For instance, a country can get into a spot of trouble if their economy weakens and they have foreign debt in another currency they have to buy, at ever-increasingly unfavorable exchange rates. People then indeed 'lose faith' that their currency is worth holding.

But he also says, "Instead, the value of an asset depends on what people think it’s worth. " That's basically how commodity markets function. Buyers bid on the price based on what's available for sale right now and how much they need to have it. Some commodities are driven by the demand for consumption of the good, some have more, shall we say, speculative valuations. Commodity markets can be volatile and fickle.
Precisely this, esp. the cat vs. cat(1) distinction (which I'd just addressed in another response).

In Latin America, at least in mine and my wife's countries, people not only have very strong opinions about all that is happening in the world (Putin? Ukraine? Monkeypox? Homeschooling?

> Games have done this trick since forever.

Text rendering is still a very complex task in modern games unless you're using an engine (and even then the complexity is still there it's just hidden). I'm not aware of any recent releases that stored all their text as hard coded images. Most games will at the very least create a predefined charset, render each character to a bitmap or sdf as part of the loading using something like freetype or stb_truetype, cache the bitmaps or sdfs to a hash map with a lookup ID and all that stuff, upload the images to a texture on the GPU, perform some sort of layout scheme when rendering the text in the game world or HUD (which includes things like figuring out the kerning for different characters, line wrap, and all the other fun stuff).

Like somebody else mentioned, nothing is simple. Even a bitmap font from the 80s was wayyy more complex then it would be today because of all the optimizations you would have to create to make sure it was fast, and the extreme lack of modern rendering utilities that we have today.*

*I wasn't alive in the 80s, so this is just based on the videos I've seen of what we had then and articles/books I've read about what programming was like then.
