Yeah, I agree, it's a shame that there isn't a better mechanism to pay for CLI software. I think a lot of developers would just refuse non-open source CLI software, but that really shuts down what could be a healthy market. Don't know what the solution would be though ("GitHub sponsors" don't seem to be it...)

> In my case it seems like some kind of middle age crysis.

If you can run crysis, you probably aren't too old and broken down just yet. :P
Off-topic here but it does have to do with top-end musical instruments, and having the big name.

Bosendorfer [1] is trying (IMHO, without total success) to displace Steinway as the premier piano for concerts.

A couple items in the Wikipedia article made me LOL:

> In his memoirs, Arthur Rubinstein recounts having insisted on a Bechstein instead of the hall's Bösendorfer before a recital in Austria.

When my teacher moved away, she gave me her Bechstein on indefinite loan. It had a cracked soundboard, but she felt that it should nonetheless be worth $20,000 or so. A piano tech looked at it and said, "Maybe $2,000."

> Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett performed the solo improvisations (his Köln Concert) at the Cologne Opera House in Cologne, Germany on 24 January 1975 on a Bösendorfer and became a Steinway & Sons artist in 1981.

I had a minor head injury in a car accident and definitely noticed a decline.

Ways to cope:

1) accept it and don't attach yourself to a probably inflated sense of what you were capable of before

2) take care of yourself in the food, sleep, exercise, stress, and stimulation departments. especially valuable is doing things that stimulate your brain in entirely different ways like playing music or doing artwork or some mentally involved task that isn't the same as your day job

3) medication absolutely can have these kinds of effects, you have to weigh the costs and benefits

4) get better and more organized at the practice of problem solving, if you're having trouble doing it without thinking about it, create a system. Checklists, playbooks, or any other sort of organized framework where you have a plan with steps how to solve a problem,

5) each day take time to reflect on that day. what went well, what didn't, what you'd like to change and ideas of how to change it

In the end, often things that were easy get harder with time and that can be mitigated by being a little more intentional about trying to do well at what you want to do. Also, give yourself a break!
Dang, I guess all of HashiCorp's products, or the handfuls of startups that have launched within the last few years, or some of Apple's newest features, are "not great" per his definition then?

I love my Tesla, and I definitely prefer working from an office, but this feels like borderline 9/9/6 talk, and I can't support that.
Sort of like Cobol or MUMPS. There are systems which adopted Tcl for some reason 20 years ago and now the whole business depends on it and they will pay whatever it takes to keep it running.
You should be able to simply use Json.Deserialize<T>() ?

The beauty of types in this case is that the JSON structure has a natural way to be expressed in C#… we just need to utilize it

Or a JsonNode if you don’t know the structure
>He's doing it to save humanity from extinction level events. If he just wanted to be rich, well, that goal was met years ago.

Isn't transportation the number 1 cause of CO2 emissions? How does forcing his employees to transmute to and from work help that goal?
> YouTube doesn't make a lot of money.

Citation needed... Is $7B/quarter not a lot of money?
App Store stopped nearly $1.5B in fraudulent transactions in 2021
Battery swap stations still have to charge the batteries being swapped. If diesel was needed for charging the cars, it would have been needed for those too.

The battery swap station was offered to a small subset of owners. From what they claim, the reviews weren't overly positive.

TBH, I prefer charging the battery while in the car over a system like that in general.
What's the development stack ? LLVM ?
> With Hits, its easy for one page to harvest a high Hub score. All that is needed is to outlink to known good pages (authority). Providing outlinks is trivial. Once so harvested, one can direct that flow to a designated page to give it a high Authority score.

Are you saying that you think HITS doesn't recursively score the quality of references by their own scores? That's not true. It does exactly what PageRank does in that respect: a page's score depends on the score of those which reference it, which in turn depends on... etc.

The 'hub' vs 'authority' distinction is interesting but not really relevant here: we're considering a page's 'authority' score, which depends on the 'hub' score of those who outlink to it, and at that point we're just doing PageRank [again, except performance-wise and arguably freshness-wise].

Like I said: the only non-trivial differences between them are implementation / performance-related, not semantic.

> Why not ? Formalize the strategy spaces of both the players and its a very valid game in the Game Theory sense. For the ranker you have to consider some functional space of functions over a graph.

Yes, again: possible to frame it as a formally valid problem if you really want to; still not an interesting one. We're only talking about this because you want to maintain that your earlier statement was true.

"You have to consider some functional space of functions over a graph" gives no detail (besides that, yes, you can model something–maybe documents, maybe people, who knows?–as a graph) and sounds like something written by a person with a gun to their head.

Or maybe I'm wrong and there's a fascinating problem which you just don't want to divulge to me.
>same story, different spin.

Nope.

There is a reason i mentioned Deci's book; i highly recommend going through it. Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise by Anders Ericsson is also relevant here.
About quoting rules: We desperately needs static analysis or IDEs (Emacs plugins, whatever) that "explain" exactly what quotes do in a particular context. When I returned to C++ recently, I was blown away by Clang-Tidy (JetBrains CLion integration). Literally: Clang-Tidy seems to "know what you really want" and give intelligent suggestions. For someone whom is a very average C++ programmer, it instantly leveled me up! I could see the same for someone writing /bin/sh, /bin/ksh, /bin/bash shell commands. If the IDE could give some hints, it would be incredibly helpful to many.
You’re explaining how regulations come to be.

Something happens that harms some party, the event is studied and regulations are sometimes updated.
Android does have a unified calendar that every app push into.

It has two problems (that are both dealbreakers to me): it's not easy to make it push the complete schedule into any other calendar (if it's possible at all, I never managed to), and the apps are often not reliable (probably because they don't want to allow a centralized calendar, the MS ones are serious offenders here).
well yes (and also for backing up i believe), but at least for me, there aren't tons of files that i care about which change often, so i don't need it constantly going off and cataloging the latest homebrew updates or whatever.
Yep, blinky is the Hello, World of hardware.
>It used to be, "Do you know anyone who has caught it?"

I think I personally knew maybe one person at the very start who probably had it. In the last month or two, I'm not sure I know dozens who have gotten it but it's quite a few.
zero-emissions*

* at the point of use

Gonna need to also invest in the production of ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen. The industry-dominant Haber-Bosch process uses natural gas, i.e. fossil-derived methane, as its input, and produces CO2 as an output.
Don't they have like a dozen ore veins?
>I'm pretty sure the FDA has never denied a drug use application because it's not patentable and that's just a conspiracy theory used by people pushing bogus treatments.

No, that's not it, that's a very uncharitable interpretation and is unnecessarily dismissive . The real issue is that no one wants to pay for studies to turn off-label uses to on-label uses if there isn't money in it because the process is expensive, and so won't be done when there are better returns on investment.
Is Java (JRE) still free for commercial use?
Doesn't usage of mdfind still suffer from GP's problems 1, 3, 4, and 5?
Java deploys as a single file so would be the same as a Go binary. Container just needs the JVM included, which is trivial.
Remember the big "ground-up rewrite" of Finder we were promised a few major OS versions ago?

I'm not surprised if your answer is no.

Finder is disgraceful junk, with an example being that its "find" function utterly fails to live up to its name. It's mind-boggling how a simple filename search can just... not find clearly-matching files.

I use EasyFind.
One thing to check: Your hearing

I went through a period of life in my late 30s where I felt I was getting stupider. I was struggling to pickup new concepts and get a handle on new situations quickly like I used to. I was made redundant during a 'restructure' and I strongly believe it was due to these issues I was dealing with.

Several months after being made redundant I got my hearing checked - I had moderate hearing loss in the higher frequencies (where speech occurs). After getting hearing aids, it changed my life.

HA made me realise I had been relying on lip reading and context to understand what was being said. When I encountered new technology/concepts, I didn't have pre-existing base knowledge or context to 'fill in the gaps' of my hearing.

HA reversed all of the issues I had previously been experiencing.
About 200 years ago, the world started getting rich. Why?
Or just carry on working from home.
When the research wins a Nobel prize is the Software Engineer one of the winners or just the scientists in charge? My understanding is that it's the scientists.

If Science wants more research software engineers then they should start treating them like peers rather than hired help.

It has nothing to do with cost of living. Your employer is simply betting that you will not be able to find other sources of income that can compete with their reduced offer.
The US is a big place, we definitely drive more miles. But the fuel tax in Europe is high enough that the overall cost isn't necessarily dramatically higher in the US. Also, a lot of the public transit (at least in my experience) in Europe is surprisingly expensive, though that probably depends a lot on where you live and where you need to go.

It also by design locks you in one of the cloud providers in a quite deceptive way.
There is no singular interface for networking, so you cannot really port your infrastructure from cloud to bare metal for instance.
Bare metal also was heavily underdeveloped, so setting it up was fragile and fiddly and quite limited.
> "go play some sports" is a silly thing to say

Wow, that comment summarizes a pernicious lack of value to sports in many places around the world today.

No, sports are deeply important.

It's not just about exercising your body. It's also about the game behind it, striving to overcome obstacles (external and internal), developing resilience and discipline.

And doing it with a connection between mind and body.

This will train your mind and wire your neurobiology to protect you from depression, lack of will or motivation, among other things.

I am curious, can you remember if there has been some sort of moment in your career that made you think about coding with this in mind? Maybe during your education or career? Or was it a more gradual proces? Or maybe it has never been otherwise. I am asking this because I do research on how to improve education to achieve effects like this.
>If it took you until mid-career to realize this . . . you weren't observant and I don't really feel that sorry that you were asleep for so long.

Well the same can said of many devs who orgasmate on the next JS tool/framework.

I've been developing with C# professionally since 2012. I'm using dotnet core since the 3.1 release.

Pros:

- Superb IDE. Nowadays even without Resharper, which was a must have in my early C# days.

- Massive standard library and extensive documentation makes for a very productive development experience (especially backends).

- dotnet core was a huge leap forward in terms of dev tooling (sane cli, 3rd party integration) and framework flexibility (configurability in general, config by code instead of XML)

- Microsoft keeps adding language features copied from functional programming languages.

Cons:

- Enterprise culture is very pattern-centric and produces much boiler plate code. That's the main reason I want to move away from dotnet.

- Desktop apps are not cross-platform and I don't trust their newer stuff to deliver on that promise. The older WPF is outdated (e.g. no inbuilt support for "newer" features like async/await) because of their focus on Xamarin and MAUI or whatever new fad they come up with.

- Microsoft seems to swallow open source libs by integrating them or copies of them (e.g. Newtonsoft.Json) into the standard lib. I'm not sure if this is a good thing. I know I'm contradicting the "massive standard lib" pro from above. But here I'm thinking long-term.

- New language features are sometimes done half-assed for backwards compatibility. E.g. nullable reference types that are just syntax sugar instead of a proper maybe monad with language integration.

Resume/CV: github.com/eatonphil, github.com/multiprocessio, notes.eatonphil.com, datastation.multiprocess.io/blog

Email: phil@multiprocess.io

Hey! I'm a dev/manager with 10 years of experience. Most recently I was a manager at Oracle and before that a manager at an early stage startup. I quit Oracle year ago and I've been building open source data devtools on my own (github.com/multiprocessio). I've attracted and managed a number of open-source contributors here.

The major project, DataStation, I started last June and now has 1.9k stars, 3000+ downloads, ~500 users per month (and growing), and around 40 pretty active users per month (and growing). It was on the front of HN for a bit yesterday as a Show HN. An offshoot CLI, dsq, has 1.9k stars and somewhere around 2000 downloads.

Separately, I write a lot about implementing and evaluating databases, compilers, emulators and so on at notes.eatonphil.com.

A number of my personal and Multiprocess blog posts have been on the front of HN, 9 this year to date. 10 in total last year.

I'm considering heading back to full time employment at a late stage startup or public company. I'm not yet sure if I'd like to go back as a manager or IC. Both have their appeals. I'd most like going to a dev tools, database, or software/internet infrastructure company.

I'm also open to contract work or part-time work at smaller companies. And definitely interested in anything along the lines of compilers or databases.

Thanks for reading my tome and checking out my projects and writing!
When there’s a mismatch between capacity and load, price increases bring the two back into balance (incentivizing additional capacity and reducing load). But if price increases are not permitted, keeping water cheaper than it should be, then yes, people will waste it.

If price increases were permitted, additional capacity would make economic sense, such as desalination plants and aqueducts. And load would decrease. People would save water and some would move out of state. California’s population has increased more than its water supply, which has remained largely static I imagine.
