Streamdeck goes occasionally on sale, so it's more like $100 for the small deck if you can wait.

> an idea I had last week seeing this article is to buy a USB 10-key numpad from a pawn shop, and use something like kmonad[0] to map key presses from that device to specific actions.

One can also use just any old normal keyboard. For a while I used a small 60% with self written python-script to rebind keys to my own demand. But the benefit of the streamdecks lcd-displays was in the end to tempting.

Anyway, I think any OS is capable of rebinding a complete device. So it's really just a matter of desk-estate and ergonomic which device one prefers.
AAA arbitration costs a company about $3,000 (and the costs of an attorney they hire). Some may/will pay nuisance settlements if it’s the economically rational play—even if they think the claim is bogus. Although, to be clear, this claim sounded very very legit. (Candidly, I would have pushed for a much higher settlement. But don’t blame OP for not wanting the headache).

There’s some interesting arbitrage opportunities in this space. I have the legal (and arbitration) experience. I’ve been noodling on how to marry it up with a tech-minded individual to capitalize on these opportunities.

I left my hometown and travelled the world and wondered why I never got as close with any of the people I met, compared to the ones from my hometown. This is the reason why. Thanks for the article.
Doesn't the "L" of the "KLOTZ" neon sign also flicker at some point, strongly evoking the connotation "KOTZ" ("PUKE"), just as Evelyn Hamann feels slightly overwhelmed after tasting too many Klotz-Riegel?

I just love how Loriot managed to combine immature puns and insinuations and profound character studies into surreal pieces of art that cause whole families to laugh until one cries. May he rest in peace.

Resume-driven development does sound like a key factor, even in the decision by Go advocates in Google that pushed for Kubernetes to be rewritten in Go.

But somewhere along the line people are forced to consider technical aspects.
10 years is radically too short a timeframe for a change like this.

But longer term if your job is taking written requirements from someone via email or slack, generating something and then throwing what you did back over the fence to whoever asked for it then you are in trouble.

If your job is a dialogue with the end user, where things aren't written down because they aren't clear or are unknown then it's going to be safe for quite a while longer.
Haha I used to work for a hot water company and this type of thing was pretty common. Doesn't bring back fond memories. So glad to not be doing that shitty job.
I'm so confused when people say copilot is magical, or even particularly helpful. I used it for a few days, and it would offer interfaces that sounded right, but didn't exist, or it would try to implement an entire function for me that just trailed off into nonsense.

It was best at writing comments on a function that had already been written.

There were one or two times that it guessed correctly at code I wanted.
> I didn't know that the Castle had become so expensive.

I've only been once as an invite, from what I recall it was ~$50 for the cover charge, we paid about ~$50 a head per meal, and spent probably another ~$100 on drinks each. It was a unique evening, I had a great time, and wouldn't take it back, but it was definitely one of the more expensive evenings I had in LA.
How come you never show them the evidence? Is it because it lets the lawyers concoct a story?
LEDs have an average life of about 10 years from what I've seen. Yes, their efficiency decreases, but I'm not sure that's such a big thing.

And at this point who really needs "forever"? We're getting to a point where the average person will at most change their lighbulbs 2-3 times in a home (I doubt the vast majority of the population lives in the same place for more than 20-30 years).

Actually:

> Report Highlights. The average length of homeownership is 16 years, with lower-earning and less educated householders more likely to remain in their homes longer.

> 3. It makes perfect sense to me that you don't feel like you're getting better in that environment. The rockstar developer is a myth, but the band is not. You get better by practicing with other talented people.

I can't stress this enough. Being part of a team you appreciate helps a lot. First and foremost, with burnout. Knowing you have teammates you can share daily stuff with, and lean on when you need to, is a lot. Feeling like they can do the same with you, makes it an even more powerful experience.

All in all, it sounds like, at this point, you should optimize for people and not tech excellence. The latter can follow when you have a supportive environment.

As others suggested, take some time off to put out the fire. Then move on to find a job in a team you think you might like.

btw, during the time off, things might get worse mentally before they get better. Simply because you won't be able to hide from your thoughts and feelings anymore. It could do you good to set simple, achievable daily goals that serve a small purpose and not aim for something big (like learning a new skill). Stuff like going to the beach every day, or meditating for 10 minutes (without the purpose of "learning meditation" or "doing it right").

Be kind to yourself, your life isn't a race to be won. Maybe more like a hike through the wilderness.
Yes! The "killed by Google" meme is young. Back in the days it was like "i want to be like Google" (ignoring the fact that most people don't have scale like Google and very different problems) and anything out of Google must be good!
This guy arbitrates.

I’ve done something like 500+ consumer arbitrations in the last 5 years. JAMS tends to result in better outcomes for the consumers.

There’s all sorts of reasons for this. If nothing else, JAMS arbitrators tend to be retired judges with experience in the adjudication role.

More often than not, AAA arbitrators are just attorneys with 10+ years of experience. And, well, let’s just say 10 years of experience as an attorney does not automatically make a person competent.
Sure it's "tidier" if by that you mean smaller. Someone who doesn't work in Python all the time and isn't aware of these kinds of operators is going to have to spend a decent amount of time unpacking what the hell that all means whereas someone can take one look at the standard while loop, see the logic laid out plainly, understand what's happening, and make changes, if necessary, fairly easily. Unless there's a performance benefit to an operator like this I'll forgo "tidy" for clear any day of the week. Then again I'm just a senior dev whose only professional experience with Python was maintaining other people's Python projects who never had to touch them again after they wrote them, and who used Python for things Python should not have been used for just because it's "easy" to write.
Network protection, network adoption, stability, and decentralization. Not only that, with lightning, its has unparalleled speeds of transactional finality compared to a legacy system that relies on centralized databases and is still slow af.

Its innovations are the only ones that actually matter in the entire crypto space. All other cryptos are basically sticking spoilers and rims on a car and calling it an "innovation".

No, that's not an "innovation", that's just changing a few letters on a lower quality, more fragile, more defective product, making it spin faster and shinier, sprinkling it with technical gibberish and buzzwords, then marketing that as the next bitcoin. No.

Bitcoin was the innovation. Your cousin's off brand crypto? Thats just a scam.
Making some assumptions here but I feel that you (and people in the US in general) downplay the benefits of travel. To me, volunteering in this case would just be..more work?
>And when you find me an AI that can do this, I'll happily concede the goddamn planet to them.

We underestimated flaws, sloppiness, mistakes and changes in tempo, stuff that makes us humans and we can relate to. Rick Beato, a music producer & youtuber that has a video series where he breaks some of this stuff down in "What makes this song great"[0].

I like Jimmy Page a lot, and I know he isn't known to be the best technical guitar player, but the songs he makes and plays (especially in live performances, with the whole LZ band of course), it's just magical.

Can that be emulated? Maybe, eventually, down the line.

But the question that will eventually arise: do we care more about the arrangement of notes, chords, instruments, or the story behind it?

I don't have any doubt that machines might be able to produce music that's pleasant to hear, that gives you goosebumps, that will be #1 in some charts, and we will listen to it. But we relate to other humans too much to replace them, I believe we will always seek the human condition because we relate so much to it.

How would an AI come up with Bob Dylan, that doesn't sing well, but it's bound to a time and place.

A quick anecdote: an ex girlfriend of mine taught me how to appreciate a bit more of art, to go beyond the "it's pretty" you need context, the story of the artist, what was the status quo and what did they disrupt at that point in time.

To have NFTs that are procedural generated, or trippy images made by an AI, might be technical achievements but of little value to my human experience.

A cynic might say: "if you didn't know, you would be a sucker! One day an AI will create his own back story and produce art and you will be a sucker to eat it like it was the real deal! Maybe there's one already!" - so what? We are deceived on a daily basis, and we're easy to be deceived in some areas more than others, we even fool ourselves. The problem is that when you realize you're deceived, you empty the thing of it's value, and you move on with your life.

Don't think too much of it just because it was able to fool a human.

I'd add one more thing: it doesn't change.

Compared to most languages, Go hasn't changed at all over its 12+ year history. It took that long to get generics, ffs.

It can be a good thing. It certainly reduces the cognitive load needed to learn the latest and greatest addition to C++ or JS.
I think trying to to replace perhaps the greatest male pop singer of a generation is a stretch.

And even if AI can't replace Jeff Buckley it doesn't mean that the jobs of many working musicians doing things like backing music for corporate videos aren't at risk.
I wonder how futuristic that looked to the people at the time
Calculating an expected value is meaningful and regular and does affect decisions. If you were told that you could pay £1 to flip a coin and heads would pay out 50p and tails would pay out £2, then playing it you would expect to make £1.25 (£0.25 profit) per play, on average. Many people interpret the envelope problem as being the same situation.
People have jobs in Star Trek and there is no abundance of everything. For example not everyone gets its own spaceship and space fleet cadets even have teleporter _credits_ which they can use.

It's always worth getting checked, but jumping to ADHD is a bit much. OP is handling mobile + web apps working 70-80 hours a week, is that really possible for someone who has ADHD and isn't invested in the work? Burnout itself can cause all of these symptoms, as can depression or simply lack of sleep.
> doesn’t cause GI problems in reasonable doses.

GI issues is actually one of the most reported side effects of allulose. It certainly does a number on me. So much so that I ruled it out as an artificial sweetener after trying it a few times, but I guess it might still work for me as a cheap laxative.
that’s why people need a CS degree

Yes, if you don't fix your dependencies. But that will happen in any language.
> Large language models do have a "goal" but it (predicting the next word) is very alien

Is it though? Imagine talking to someone in a noisy environment, surely inferring what words they're saying from context given noise, isn't that dissimilar from what language models do?
> they do mundane things and they are perfectly happy with their lives.

Aspirational.
"you know the priors" - this is just fundamentally not how probabilistic reasoning works. You have some priors, which are of unclear accuracy, and then you iteratively update your beliefs on the basis of evidence and (probably) get, if not the right idea, then at least one that is less wrong. Hence the title!

If you had the right priors to start, you wouldn't need probability theory because you'd already know everything.

> it can't reject infinitesimally likely but infinitely bad futures

Sure it can, because that's value theory, not probability theory.
> The great thing about it is that you get a very versatile admin UI for free. The downsides however are rate limits and the fact that I can't think of any way to build in some sort of safety that would prevent people from accidentally deleting a bunch of data with a mouse click.

My experience is that this is always the issue with spreadsheets when you try and grow them out to try and behave like more powerful tools. The same functionality (flexibility etc.) that makes them great for 1-5 people to work on means that it's hard to constrain the system as much as you'd like to when you grow it.

Having said that there are things you can do, like using protected ranges in gsheets that only certain users can edit, or input validation that makes it harder to add bad data. The built in version history is also a handy fall back in case someone does bork the sheet and you catch it in time.
> So let’s say your claim is $2,000. Under those laws, maybe you can “treble” (triple) your damages if you win. So now your best day is $6,000. And the company knows it.

This is one of the most eye opening things I've read on here. I didn't know that about arbitration. When you threaten/enter into arbitration, it should be part of the law that the company must respond with the maximum amount of damage they're liable for. Anything else is information asymmetry towards the company and they know that too.

Starting Strength is the precursor to StrongLifts and Mark Rippetoe has a book by the same name filled with a lot more details about the mechanics of the major exercises.

Their YouTube channel is great too.

I tried Strong Lifts years ago but gave up due to hurting myself when things got heavier. Starting Strength seems better so far.
>> Do you think it negatively affects performance?

Yes and no. Pragmatically, no, because in python usually performance comes from (ignoring using native code) avoiding dynamic dispatches (circa 500x speedups are common) and like in almost all languages, being aware of your allocations (varies wildly but avoiding allocs in loops for example will give remarkable speedups).

In theory though, yes absolutely this is slower - what was a query of a dict (or even better, an array in the __slots__ case) - i.e. grabbing an attribute from a class - is now going outside the process and asking the OS about stuff on the filesystem. Masssively slower.

>> Why don't you think it's a good idea?

Because you’re paying an overhead to use something in an unexpected way when the language provides a faster, idiomatic solution to this problem:

>> a pattern to encapsulate data and functions

That’s the class and object system described in one sentence

>> I don't see how __slots__ would be relevant to this?

You’ve heard of turtles all the way down? In python it’s dicts all the way down. Behind the scenes you can think of a loaded module being a dict, just the same as an object has a dict underpinning it.

Slots comes in as an optimisation on this dicts all the way down. An optimisation that’s not open to you if you (ab?)use modules like this.

But i’d finish up by saying this - i’m a random person on the internet that doesn’t know your use case. I stand by the above as decent general case advice but you might actually have a valid case to deviate AND you’re not going to unlock new discoveries in better ways to do things if you just always follow the dogma so don’t be put off by my negativity toward the idea but DO measure the outcomes you care about when experimenting to see if the modules idea is working for you.
> 3) Keep records of phone conversations. Date, time, who, resolution. Keep screenshots. Keep emails.

If you take nothing else away from this article this a great point.

I once had an issue where two different electricity companies believed they were supplying our University flat. This turned out to be due to the mess of naming systems involved in Edinburgh flats where two apparently identical flats had meter numbers. Eventually I was able to extract this information from the call handlers but only after a ridiculous number of calls.

This got far better when I started taking names and extension numbers so that I could skip the intro session on each call and speak directly to someone who knew the situation. Taking careful notes of who I spoke to and when.

For about 2 years later I'd still get the hard sell from some debt collectors telling me that I could just pay the £2000 and it would all be over...
This is the way the justice system is set up. I don’t really dig into whether this is a systemic problem.

I’m not charging my client 48k. I’m recording my time spent working the case. If I have to spend 100 hours working on a case, and my hourly rate is $500 an hour, and we win, then the attorneys’ fee award should be $50,000, regardless of whether the claim is $100 or $100,000.

This is an important component of civil rights litigation. Often times does claims have small value (in terms of damages). But we want to incentivize competent lawyering, and so, if you prevail, you get an award of attorneys’ fees.

The same is true in this context. If you don’t have a provision like that, then consumers are left without recourse. As it is, there are very few lawyers who practice in this area as is.
I was going off the exact quote that you quoted from "Economic Possibilities For Our Grandchildren." Keynes even had the caveat that this may take longer with a war. He was extrapolating out productivity gains and moving it to reduced hours instead of extra wealth.

My question is still where can I earn 1/3 my salary but only work 20 hours a week.
> These assignments work exactly as expected no matter which school of thought you come

No, they don't.

obj.b does not exist, and no assignment to it takes place, and there is no “indirect effect”.

A.b exists, and because class attributes can be accessed as if they were members on instances, and because A.b has an implementation of in-place addition, that implementation is called on A.b instead of an assignment to obj.b. That is the only thing that happens as a result of the statement that looks like it might be an assignment to obj.b. The effect on A.b is the only action, not an indirect effect of an assignment.
This is the case where the worse UX is just a better security in disguise (note: "better", not "perfect"; see multiple US reports on trying to investigate the terrorist funding through hawala). No electronic transactions cuts a lot of SIGINT (though not all, people carry their phones with them, call each other, satellites make images, etc.) and sometimes HUMINT is more difficult in countries like Afghanistan or Pakistan.

I like this suggestion. There is a substantial lack of attorneys in this area. If we are going to force consumers into these systems, they need to be designed more fairly.
