I knew a corporate communications writer that used to dream about being a cashier at McDonalds. The never ending pressure to meet deadlines was getting to her. The big plus in some jobs is that you can drop them as soon as you are off work. Other jobs you carry all day long until you solve them. A continuous supply of work means that you're working all the time.

I'm a true believer that a daily hobby you love gives you the opportunity to decompress. That's my first suggestion to anyone in danger of burning out.

Now dig up all metals and other construction material used for the steam side and generators in fossil plants and make a comparison if that question is even worth to ask yourself.

Also consider that we will be able to recycle the materials used so the extraction should level off to only supplying potential market expansion and loss.
Is it just me or are the Stripe docs not the paragon of usefulness they once were? Still head and shoulders above many but last time I started a new project I found duplicated, outdated, confusing docs all over the place. Managing the complex payments state machine seems to get harder and harder as Stripe matures.
Definitely already been done, but yeah it's pretty much ideal for ML.

For any discussion on testosterone, I highly recommend the Huberman lab episode[1] on the topic. Crazy packed with information.

That is a vulnerability in the front panel. The front panel is deciding based on the reply from the 'enter factory code' command that it is ok to send the 'reset user code' command. The front panel should not be making decisions like that. The front panel should not be sending commands at all.
I would think a queue would be best served by a linked list.

Every pop moves the whole list unless you get fancy an implement it as an array with head and tail pointers and grow logic.

If you keep a tail pointer inserts are likewise O(1).

You rarely traverse them.
Montreal (white) engineer here: I've been working as an FPGA guy here in Canada for 30 years, and black programmers and engineers are as rare as hens teeth up here. I have met only 2 or 3 over the span of 3 decades and there are zero black managers in engineering/software. It's mostly a question of supply, only 4% of the province identifies as black. I see far more asians and Indians than blacks, which is a bit sad, since I learned digital logic design from a black engineer in Los Angeles when I started out.
Perhaps, but imagine no need for surgery, no need for anesthesia, all wounds, illnesses and ailments fixed simply by switching the damaged part, or switching bodies entirely.
This is really dark. How did this all start. Were you employed at one point or did you start that startup? How old are you? Where do you live?
Is he disputing the $1 billion dollar break-up fee? In the big scheme of things I just don't know that that element of it is that big a deal in comparison to the $15 or so billion dollars Twitter is not getting from the delta between current stock prices and Musk's original offer.

>So imagine my surprise when I showed up at my first day on the job at a startup and found no tests at all.

In my experience, this is the norm, not the exception. Especially in certain areas like 'web development'. Everybody talks about tests and nods sagely in their direction--but I've rarely encountered some kind of meaningful test harness.

Dirty bombs aren’t really a thing one needs to worry about. Getting enough material to make one would require industrial nuclear material handling processes, otherwise you the bomb maker would die. Nuclear material heavy so it’s hard to get it up into the air, you’ll need a large bomb probably truck sized. So at this point you need to drive the thing around. Remember this thing is very radioactive, so you’ll need to shield the driver or they’ll be cooked before getting to their destination. You also need to avoid detection, and you won’t so you’ll need to work fast. Then once you blow up most of the material will fall out of the air really quickly, so you’ll want it somewhere populated like a city. Unfortunately all of the buildings keep the material from hitting many people, and anyone so unfortunate can just shower and take some iodine tablets. The explosion itself will cause most of the damage.

Once you’ve done this to little effect, the wrath of the whole world will fall on you for breaking this taboo. So it’s really not worth the trouble.
Spoiler alert…
Your post has a lot I agree with, I like that you actually acknowledge the privilege of taking time off you exercised. I don't begrudge people who can do it as long as they don't prescribe it to others.

I wish I could find a path towards what you have achieved but I have been so thoroughly discouraged from pursuing my career that it is emotionally painful to look at jobs.

How did you find the contract? Networking? Job sites? Did you discuss your burnout with the employer or did you feel things were more manageable by then?

Dan has said/written before that the "first pass" -- which was done in like a weekend or something -- was done in BASIC just to get a feel for the thing. It wasn't a full blown environment or anything.
Or just get a Tesla. I literally just said "navigate to <destination>" and did a 1100 mile road trip that crossed the two tallest mountain ranges in the USA. Charging added an hour or so to the trip, but it was 18 hours or so of driving and people needed to stretch, eat, hit the bathroom etc so much of that hour was used for other things anyways.
Daydreaming is more fun than working though. I can daydream about working down a coal mine and engaging in that thought can be more pleasant than working on some boring coding task - but the reality is very different.

Nursing is a noble career but, especially in the US, it is brutal, will destroy your body, horribly paid (unless you're a travel nurse, which comes with its own downsides) and the working practices are essentially a non-stop wall of abuse. That 7-7 shift you dream of? Great news - your next shift begins at 9am, see you then!

Cosmetology is nice but the schools trained thousands and thousands more students than the industry required so your job prospects are close to zero.

Young people will first have to demonstrate that they are capable of going to the polls for anything. Democracy is a civic duty, it's not some customer support department. "2/5, wasn't friendly, will not go to the polls again"
My general experience with education is that one is well served by knowing things a bit deeper than one actually uses them. Going one more layer down in education makes the stuff you actually do use make much more sense.

> This literally happened while trying to swipe on my phone keyboard for "yesterday" - https://twitter.com/madmanweb/status/1513786589230493696

I used to frequently type "habe" instead of "have" (since V and B are right next to each other), and autocorrect would change it to "haberdashery"

Not sure how that happens.
Huh. I wonder if you had, like, an entangled system of X and Y, if something comes under the gravitational influence of that system X-Y, what directions would the gravitation acceleration go? Would it go towards the middle of the two? Would the "detection" of the gravitation acceleration make it collapse towards X/Y? If you didn't detect the gravity acceleration, would the third body enter into the entangled system via gravity?

I am about as far from an expert as it's possible to be, but I always wondered what would happen if an entangled system exerted its gravity on something else.

I still think the underlying premise of Twitter's importance to the "public discussion" and "public square" isn't challenged enough.

Why do we care so much about what happens to Twitter?
Anime/manga have been exploring this with various fantasy worlds with explicit game-like mechanics. I've always considered them lazy attempts at power fantasies/wish fulfillment stories, but in light of this comment maybe there's an interesting story about "player character as God" in there.

Actually now I can think of one that fits that bill exactly: https://j-novel.club/series/endo-and-kobayashi-live-the-late...
It's not high literature, but it's a fun read, especially if you're aware of the genre tropes it riffs off of (villainess/isekai).
The operative word here is "were"
No it is not easier to follow practically. Second, definition "stream of flow" is not "easier to follow". It is "one steam of code". It forces you to have all the ifs and for in head all the time and does not explains what those means.

Yes, opposed to named structures you can understand in isolation and then treat as units.
This is very interesting! I actually tried doing an FPGA related contract for a customer a year ago now.

FPGA engineers are so few and far between these days - and a rather under-appreciated skill...
I think this argument has been here for millennia. Move forward or back to the roots... In this case I look forward, but thanks to some really good PR (and possibly well paid) it seems natural-gas backed renewables are winning at the moment.

Exploiting the Wii U's USB Descriptor parsing
yes, I resonate with this! It's exhausting to have this much mental stimulation at night. If I'm woken up at any point I can recall the dream I was just in and they're often really stressful dreams. I've been working with my nervous system and I'm wondering if there's some dysregulation going on that's contributing to my stressful night's sleep (like I'm cycling from fight/flight right into freeze all night long). I also tend to have more stressful dreams in the morning near that time when cortisol is released to help our bodies rise with the sun. Been wondering about that as well.
I would probably still use NetBSD if I didn't need to do video editing.

Really if you want a proper desktop OS, though, you should look at Haiku.
I wouldn't say it has been solved all that well. The problem is the temporal difference between the two fields, so moving objects have a "comb" distortion while more static parts of the image mostly don't.

Interlacing should never have been a part of a digital-TV standard, but broadcasters pushed a bunch of FUD and lies during the progressive-vs.-interlaced debate. They whined that going progressive "would break their pipeline," when that's obviously BS because they'd been playing film-originated material for decades. Acquisition should always have taken place in a progressive format, even if transmission continued to be interlaced for a while.

Now we're stuck with a bunch of historical footage that looks like shit.

And then there's the asinine perpetuation of non-integer frame rates; those too should have been abolished with digital TV.
> That would defeat the purpose of the process.

On the contrary, this is the exception that proves the rule. The process exists because we can't expect once-in-a-lifetime works to appear from every candidate.

Encryption alone doesn't prevent replay attacks, you need something more advanced; for example controller generates a nonce, reader hashes secret + nonce, controller compares to expected value.

The SEC reports says they estimate the bot daily active users (or something like that) to be 5%, but in fact could be much larger and it is merely an estimate. These leaves room for bot count to be much higher and they still would not have lied.

This has been a pain point for me as well, adjusting to newer, slower or more bureaucratic environments.

You deserve to honor your resilience and success in identifying your issues and working to resolve them. You are an inspiration that people like myself can struggle, and sometimes continue to struggle but not give up.
At one time I felt the same way, but the deluge of Ubisoft and their like games, where it's not so much "something new to explore" but instead "here's task 1 of 100 that's the exact same you'll need to do for map completion" has caused me to appreciate tight, well crafted games just as much. The AAA game industry turned "go around and explore the world" into something really boring.

Current AI methods are great for classification. That said, I’m not convinced AI is making discoveries. What I mean by that, is that AI is often non-explainable, can be non-deterministic and only as good as it’s training data.

For instance, asteroid discovery. Yes AI can be used to discover asteroids. BUT every asteroid needs to be checked by a human and some will undoubtably be false positives. We also miss some unknown true positives.

We often (depending on method) can’t explain why [in-fact] why something is a true positive vs false positive from the network itself.

Which is why I say AI doesn’t make discoveries. It’s not identifying something knew, it’s identifying something that looks like what it’s seen before. It’s error rates in the scientific frontier is also going to be unknown; as we often lack data. Using AI could potentially limit the scope of new discoveries - depending how heavily it’s relied on by hyper optimizing on the wrong items.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling, as a research in deep learning I find this trend something to monitor.

Sorry my comment is upsetting. I actually wasn't trying to be positive. I was trying to reflect that I don't consider getting turn down by a job or a date as negative (nor positive with a silver-lining). I'm cold-blooded about the whole thing because the process is nearly all rejections.

I tend to work at smaller companies (almost startup size) so I've been laid off many times when the company fails, so I've had financial and family stress too. Nothing to do but to keep going despite how tough it is.
While we collectively fantasize about meeting alien sentient beings, I wonder what progress can first be made to really connect with other intelligent species on our own planet? Or augment the intelligence of a corvid or an octopus or a dog, pig, orca with technologies such as a Neuralink neural implant [1]. In the theory of multiple intelligences [2], we recognize intelligences tied to our own senses, such as visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic and harmonic, and linguistic-verbal. How would we go about identifying or even measuring the enhanced olfactory intelligence of animals such as dogs who have a superior sense of smell?

WebRTC is not the future of low latency live streaming... at least not outside of video conferencing. It's incredibly complex as a specification, has limitations and numerous issues that set limits in how scalable it can be. Conversely, for HTTP segment based formats like HLS and DASH have limits due to their design (and that of HTTP) which set how low latency can actually go.

Where's the future? A likely candidate may come out of the "Media over QUIC" work in the IETF, which already has several straw man protocols in real world use (Meta's RUSH, Twitch's WARP). It'll be a few more years before we see a real successor, but whatever it is will likely be able to supersede both WebRTC and HLS/DASH where QUIC and/or WebTransport is available.
There's no conclusive evidence for that, if you want to be "logical", only correlations based on subject manipulation.
This. I always write for readability and only pay attention to performance when it's something that's going to be repeated often and it matters on the big-O scale. Optimizing beyond that should only be done with the profiler to guide you.

In the course of helping an acquaintance do research for a book, I listened to hours of interviews with an 80 year old aerodynamics specialist who worked for Boeing for decades. It was fascinating stuff. One of his specialties was the design of the inlets for jet engines and, through the conversation, I learned that the inlet is the entire aerodynamic approach to the actual engine intake, starting before the air even encounters any of the structure of the aircraft. Turns out that certain designs cause turbulence out in front of the aircraft and all of that path to the intake must be taken into account.

He referred to the SR-71 inlet design and called the potentially catastrophic disruption of the air an "inlet unstart."
IIRC, the Borland C++ STL implementation made use of buckets of consecutively allocated entries so you would generally find consecutively inserted items next to each other in memory. You can also define your own allocator that does something similar.

> Lack of career prospects, lack of marriage prospects and lack of social attachment

At least in many cases, these problems are caused by the men themselves (or by their mental conditions, if you prefer). That "low status "disposable"" thing you mention isn't some arbitrary fluke of what society values; these people generally aren't victims of social standards. They tend to be ostracized by their peers who notice patterns of psychosis and violence years before any shooting occurs.

The shooters aren't victims; the victims are the peers of these dangerous males who's concerns aren't taken seriously by adult authorities before it's too late. Since adults don't take the problem seriously until people start dying, all the other kids are left to deal with the problem themselves using the limited tools they have available; shunning, bullying, etc. Then when that fails, adults suddenly notice the problem and blame the kids who were ostracizing the shooter without bothering to ask why they were ostracizing the shooter. They misidentify a failed mitigation as the root cause.
I was burnt out for about a year, two main symptoms for me were: I hated standups, felt a high degree of anxiety around them, even though I was a very influential and productive team member and I felt completely zapped of all my energy - waking up in the morning really struggling to feel any purpose behind my work or my life.
Rather than dissociation and perpetuating the struggle, I resigned and then focused on a hardware/software startup. I felt I was in a good position to take on more risks, considering I have no children, savings and a relatively low cost of living.

It has come with a renewed sense of purpose and I wake up excited for the day and the years ahead, but its yet to been seen if it were a good decision financially, but I suppose anything is better than getting sick and dying

I spent some time doing the "digital nomad" thing in Bali. The joke amongst my friend was the circular digital nomad economy.

Programmers / designers pay yoga teachers for yoga.

Yoga teachers pay the drop shippers to learn drop shipping.

The drop shippers are all paying crypto gurus to learn crypto trading

And the crypto gurus are all in bootcamps to become programmers.

And everyone is simultaneously trying to become a yoga teacher.

It's a big circle of everyone trying to make money by selling a way to continue to be a nomad to other people who are already nomads but are running out of money by claiming that their thing is the stable way (which it isn't because they need to pyramid scheme it to get by).

Elon Musk threatens to walk away from Twitter deal
> There's "knowing that there are bots" and then there's "knowing that a significant amount of engagement is bots." I think most people hear Twitter's "less than 5%" and think bullshit.

Disingenuous again. Most people knows a significant amount of engagement is bots, as you yourself agreed.
The facts are very much in their favor. I think if anything, they are scared of what happens to agreeing to a deal with Musk knowing the impact it could have on their stock if it falls apart. A billion isn't a lot of money if their stock tanks 20 billion as a result of the deal falling apart.
