Mostly good.

The last few years have been rather tumultuous for all the usual reasons - the pandemic, seeing the team I managed (including me!) get laid off out of the blue just as the country entered its first covid shut-down.

For an encore, I had just started building a house and were only a couple of weeks past the point where I could have pulled the plug on that without incurring significant losses - so, unemployed and committed to increasing my debt just as income disappeared and nobody hired. Oops.

I've since found new work in the same sector I got laid off from, and at my current employer the culture is vastly better - from churning away at a large multinational to being an appreciated contributor in a small company, I really feel like Steve Jobs' quip - why join the navy when you can be a pirate? I certainly feel like a pirate now, in the Sid Meier's 'Pirates' kind of way.

Much more fun than being in the navy.

On a personal level, I believe I am past peak busy time with the kids - the youngest one is six now, and I finally, for the first time in more than a decade, find myself occasionally having time off to do something I enjoy, rather than something I have to do.

I've taken up photography again (was serious to the point where I had to decide back in the late paleolithic whether I wanted to become a professional photographer or go to engineering school - engineering won)

Also, I've started digging into the backlog of books and movies I've accumulated over the past decade, and even started building a decent home theater in the barn; disposable income is now higher than it was before I took on more debt while building a house, as my new job pays better and I also have a stable income from a couple of side gigs which basically are hobbies, but people are willing to pay me for the end product, which pleases (and surprises!) me no end.

So, all things considered, I probably should have sprung for a 'Very good' rather than 'Mostly good'.

Good poll, it made me sit down to consider how I felt for a few minutes. Surprisingly good, as it turns out. Thanks!
Unless you look like a crackhead or beggar, anyone would lend his phone for a few seconds/minutes.
Depends on your work style. If you work well in a noisy, sociable space with little or no privacy, you might like an open office.
On the other hand, if your job requires careful concentration and a long attention span with little distraction, an open office might suck.
My team is hiring for a remote full-stack position and the interview process is pretty chill. Shoot me an email if interested hn at josh.ml.
I think it's extremely scary that in the world's richest country, writing stuff about schools like "we don't have metal doors", "our barricade procedure" and "stopping power for bullets" is considered perfectly normal.

I was reading your comment and I just WTF'ed 5 times in a row. As a European, it's hard to wrap my mind around how simultaneously awesome and terrible the US has become. I feel terrible for you, and I'm extremely happy my kids go to a school without guards, without metal doors, with multiple, unguarded entrances, and so on. I hope your countrymen get their shit together and that someday this stuff feels like scary shit from the past. All the best to you until then, this stuff isn't OK and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I voted Mostly Good -- I feel valued at work, and employer puts an emphasis on work life balance, which lets me spend time with my family, deal with things like doctor appointments. Took a vacation day today and trying to crack open a book about Galois Theory.

I tend to be "stubbornly optimistic" about the future, and I keep telling myself that on a long timescale (compared to 50-100 years ago) qualities of life are much better, but recent events have made me very concerned about my family's safety, and from there I started worrying about social media echo chambers and global warming.
No. They were very expensive because the network had minuscule capacity compared with today. I remember having a consumer plan with a 400 minute per month quota and calls after 9 p.m. were free. Even with those tight limits you'd sometimes place a call and hear a switch message "All circuits are busy."
Problem is when hybrid becomes 2, and then 3 days. That commutes starts becoming a nightmare.
It still applies to all residential property. On sale, the tax rate is set to 1% of the sale price, and increases are limited to 2% per year. This creates the incentive to not sell, even if you have way too much house (e.g. empty nesters) because you may significantly increase your tax burden by downsizing.
It's funny how two years into this we have absolutely no solid answer to "with" vs "from". You'd think these "experts" would realize how absolutely critical it is to know the difference because you'll get a dramatically different picture of covid depending on which way you measure.

That so many of these "experts" dance around this question and shame the person asking it has made me very, very suspect of their motives.
Months is way too short a timeline to say anything. There is no market force that says these houses must sell right now today and so like literally every other asset they’re being held until in the expectation that offers will come in that meet the asking price.
Absolutely someone would buy a house with blemishes like that! Most house buyers look past that stuff, especially when the housing market is hot (which it still is). Get your house on the market without worrying about that stuff before the market cools off!
I don't know why it isn't being mentioned.

I am not in the Bay Area myself, but about half of my friends there have relocated in the last couple years. A bunch to Washington or Oregon, some to Texas, one to Nashville, and a few others to places mostly in the northeast. All of them cited cost of living as the primary reason ... but all also mentioned full time remote work is what finally made it possible to move.

When you aren't chained to a physical location by your job, lots of things become possible.

I do value the teaching profession, I wish the pay was better. Despite the current events, I do not think they need more protection. I am in favor of gun control and I am in no way saying there are not issues.

If you look up professions with the highest death rates. Teacher's are fairly low on the list, if they show up at all.

Excess deaths correlate with covid infection levels — not with vaccination rates. If the vaccine caused excess deaths then we would expect to see that number increasing starting in 2021 — instead deaths have been decreasing, and only went up temporarily during subsequent covid infection waves (and the great majority of those cases unsurprising may bring the unvaccinated).

Don't obsess over it, theapp.com is good enough.

I suggest instead focusing on your product, team, and creative marketing (in that order).

I don't know where you live, but there are a lot of investor type buyers who buy with no on site visit or inspection. Or generally don't mind taking on the site improvement issues. You may also be able to get a deal in place where you sell and agree to rent for x months.

Do you know that you need to make the improvements to sell? As in, have you actually tried to sell?
I have literally tried exactly this before, and apparently my not having a phone to contact anyone wasn’t actually the officers problem.

Yes, this is the same answer I would recommend (and I have also gone to Mayo for my own pain problems), but be aware that not everyone just walks in, gets tests, and gets an answer. Some of their departments are more booked than others, so while you can show up for a few days and get a slew of tests, half of your time on those days will be sitting in waiting rooms hoping one of the specialists in a booked department has a cancellation and can see you on the fly.

Also, just because they run all the tests and are great at what they do does not mean they will have all the answers for every patient. They have a fast-paced machine to crank you through which will help many people, but not all. Set your expectations accordingly, and be prepared for any result including more of, "The specialist you need is booked, come back in a few weeks."

I 100% agree to go there and get all you can from it. Just don't walk in expecting a quick easy miracle.
FWIW in this market anything goes and typically over asking even if there are issues.
In reality, only 13% of our planet’s population is born into the dollar, euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar or Swiss Franc. The other 87% are born into autocracy or considerably less trustworthy currencies. 4.3 billion people live under authoritarianism, and 1.2 billion people live under double- or triple-digit inflation.

Is the use of ngrok here a common pattern? First I've seen ngrok used this way, but I don't super follow methodologies/tactics.
I don't know about the support network for your condition but surely there are some? I'm making an assumption, but you write as if you are trying to manage things all by yourself, which is commendable but perhaps making things more difficult than they need to be. Are you working with any kind of local autism support group? I would hope there are some resources to help people such as yourself navigate the difficulties with finding employment. And there are some employers who specifically want to hire in this area. Maybe you just need help with connecting to the right opportunities?
Yes. I like that. Minor nitpick: wsl support was a bit behind

Mayor nitpick: can you buy it, if you are not a big coorp?
The solution to tackling declining population can be by generating Genetically modified babies. This new race of humans will be smarter and stronger than the current lot due to eugenics. CRISPR will make it possible and it's already happening in China. The west needs to look at it instead of ramping up immigration and importing instability from third world countries.
20-30 years ago San Francisco was considered... a nightmarish hellscape. Until the first dotcom boom the city was in decline, or at least that's how the story goes.

My understanding is that at that time it also had a booming art scene and was going through an awesome counter culture phase that birthed Burning Man.

Maybe that's what's ahead now that everyone is leaving? Videos showing the drug problem are terrifying though...
I have suffered from OCD since I was 21. Intrusive thoughts, fears of harming others or having harmed others, and what's sometimes called r-ocd or "relationship ocd". Mostly everything fell under the category known as "pure o" or OCD without visible external compulsions.

I went to multiple psychologists, tried talk therapy, tried SSRIs, and while there were modest improvements here and there, my life continued to be dictated by my deepest fears and obsessions.

Three years ago, I read a book on OCD that completely changed my perspective. [1]

I started CBT (mostly exposure therapy) with a clinic that specialized only in OCD. I quickly realized that I had never actually done CBT in the past, despite various therapists who claimed that they combined CBT with dynamic therapy.

I stopped therapy after less than a year (no longer needed it) and reduced my SSRI prescription to a very low dose.

Today I'm the CEO of a small but (so far) very successful startup. More importantly, I'm in a healthy and happy marriage. My mental health has never been better.

Your mileage may vary, but if you're struggling with similar issues I would recommend avoiding dynamic therapy like the plague and finding a good CBT clinic specializing in OCD. If you've been going to therapy for years then it's ineffective therapy. If you talk to someone, feel better, and then need to go back next week for another talk to feel good then you're not getting better.

Far as I could tell, the study doesn't break it down by whether people have had boosters. So we don't know whether they provide additional protection.

The study also doesn't include omicron, so whether the shots protect against the latest variants is also unknown.

Im pretty sure a cure for most cancers already exist. But nobody has heard of them because of the very large amount of money currently being made for treatment.

Treatment is profitable. Cures are not.

> Recency bias (and perhaps a greater media and Wiki-editing focus following a player suffering non-fatal cardiac arrest on the pitch in the World Cup) means there are more listed names in 2021.

My only claim is that Wikipedia catalogues a lot more sudden deaths in Football in 2021.

I think the answer to education is to break up large schools and have schools that are no larger than 100-150 kids in total. 10x the number of schools and have individual attention to kids and teachers both. Fire the bad teachers quickly. Have larger communal facilities for things like sports and more outdoor activities like a form of scouts.
SF is the closest thing to a dystopia for me. Unabashed wealth juxtaposed with poverty, insane cost of living, shit and used needles everywhere, the nation's mental health failure on full display, etc. Nothing has made me as depressed as living in SF.

Is your reasoning similar to this being said earlier in our history?

A post-biological flying machine is purely speculative science-fiction at this point, there is not a single real example that we can point to yet. This might one day change if we become a post-biological flying civilization, but so far not a single example of such has ever been seen.
Not just NVIDIA, ZFS too. From the GPL perspective, any non GPL compatible license is considered the same way.

That said, that part of the GPL on library linking was never attempted to be enforced in court.

For additional entertainment: redistributing a linked GPL program to a non-GPL compatible non-OS bundled (those have an exception) library is supposed to be forbidden too, but is very often done. For example, for the Visual C++ runtimes.

It’s supposed to not be okay according to the FSF, which does quite some overreach in their FAQs. A reminder that the FAQs themselves are _not_ part of the license.
If there were enough resources for everyone then by definition there couldn't be deprioritization as there is nobody to deprioritize you for and vice versa.
There's also a natural tendency for many people, as they get older, to tend to gravitate away from downtowns as they care less about the bar scene, say, and more about space for hobbies, family, etc. So you're always going to have some natural outflow for older demographics and it's probable it's not being counterbalanced by new grads moving in.

But I agree with your basic point. If you no longer have to live in an area for work, you definitely start thinking about where you want to live.

If the goal is to pay off some random person's medical debt, things become extremely affordable:

https://ripmedicaldebt.org

I think that, by law, whenever debt is sold, the person that owes the debt should have the right to buy their own debt at the sale price. The current system is full of moral hazards, and this would help level the playing field.

(Sorry to hear about the bankruptcy. That really shouldn't be possible, anywhere.)
Point 2. I think this is a common misunderstanding in what engineering is. To come up with good simple solutions to complex problems often takes a lot of experience and domain knowledge.

If SF was attractive, then people would want to remotely work from SF. But it isn't. So, they're leaving. On the other hand San Diego seems to be blowing up.
It would really only make sense for someone to write it that way if Heroku and Travis CI were not "third-party OAuth integrators" (which they are). At some point we're just playing "Yes but if we assume the author did not speak English natively and made this particular kind of odd error, then you could read it as meaning...". Occam's Razor applies – the simplest possible reading is almost certainly the correct one.
That second point seems really shakey to me. As someone who has immigrated into a new country I'd highlight that the cost to do so is high enough (as a young person) that I was very careful to choose a country that was in line with my personal priorities.

Can you explain what you specifically mean by culture if it differs from an alignment of personal with social priorities?
Automation shifts productive labor to intellectual labor. A century ago value productive labor was probable 99%+ physical labor, but it's probably now much less.
Like I said, I can't comment on how SF is doing because I don't live there. But I do live in LA, and the apartments in my neighborhood have never been this full before.

For point of comparison: at two of the apartment buildings on my block, a 1 BR 540 sq ft studio will rent for about $2800. This is up 16% from pre-COVID rates of approximately $2400 for those same units ($2200 during COVID, which is where the >20% increase comes from).

EDIT: At one of those buildings, a 1BR is listed for $3600, which is what a 2BR used to rent for at that same building pre-COVID. I can't say what the 2BR rates are right now because there aren't any listed.
This is good and what is needed. These feeds bring people in who aren’t specifically seeking to discuss an episode of a podcast they like.
Ridiculous rent for houses/apartments in a very bad shape, rising crime and eroding faith in the justice system (you could argue that the data doesn’t support this, but the reality is that the data doesn’t support this because a lot of crimes these days go unreported), school district going to shit, bad city governance (which trickles into bad transportation, more homelessness, filth in the streets, businesses closing or not enough new ones opening, ever increasing taxes etc.) and overall high taxes which you question when you don’t get proportional services.
> But a part of my brain says that I can't spare the 3+ hours that it takes to go to the theatre. That it would be unproductive.

This kind of thing invades my decision making daily. I "blame" the high-demand for excellence at the tech firms I've worked at, and a personal obsession with self-help. It's whittled down my capacity for fun.

The only thing I've found help is to invest in something else I value highly - a hobby, friendship, family time. At the end of the day TV and movies (while enjoyable) aren't all that important compared to the obligation you feel to co-workers.

Last gasps of a dying industry, even if they don't know it yet.

Future movies will be filmed in mocap + multisensor photogrammetry and scaled up with AI techniques. (My startup does this.) Cost and time savings of not doing location scouting, set dec, lighting, and blocking are huge. Plus you can edit way more than a static grid of photons in post.

I'm confused about calling SQS a many to one service. One of the use cases I've seen (and that is endorsed by AWS) is a worker queue, where someone puts a job into the queue and there's a whole bunch of workers waiting. One of the workers grabs a message, processes it and then deletes it. That seems like a many to many service to me… Or maybe a many-to-one-of-many service?
I’m not sure I agree with your numbers, but even if they are correct, the tax punishes them for growth: growing their workforce or growing revenues.
