It sounds like the root cause of all your problems is this chronic pain, and you need to focus all your efforts on solving it first. One option is to sign up for clinical trials at various chronic pain research centers around the country. Stanford is one of them, there are plenty others, hopefully near where you live.

Some years ago I developed chronic lower back pain from poor sitting posture. It was partially debilitating - not to the level yours is, but it significantly negatively impacted my ability to stay active and thus healthy and thus able to maintain peak performance at work. But I joined a Stanford clinical trial on lower back pain, and it cured me permanently, and they even paid me a small stipend for it! So I think it’s worth a try if you can swing it.
That's funny, I wonder how nobody thought to challenge that.
I've been in the same situation for a very long time so I understand and feel for you. I've often considered creating something for people in our situation (a team that work together to cover the times when a member is unable to work), but I'm not a founder and don't know where to start. I realize it's not a short term solution but if you are interested or just want to talk, you can email me at my username at Gmail.

BTW, an attorney for the SSDI appeal isn't a bad idea. There are downsides but they do navigate it all the time and the deck is not stacked in you favor. Also find a pain specialist with legal experience; it's important they know what to say since there are no scans or x-rays or blood tests that can say why you are laying in bed in tears waiting to be able to take the next pain med.
For your chronic pain, I recommend reading "The Mind Body Prescription" by Dr John Sarno. Saved my sanity and my career 7 years ago.
> I can't even afford to toss a few bucks into side projects so I at least have something to do with my time...

Lots of people work on side projects with no money nowadays - the situation is different than it was 10 years ago. Even putting a beta out there is doable for free with AWS credits or the free tier.
Having a small federal government has no relationship with eliminating the Electoral College.

The "land votes, not people" scheme of the US is a holdover from appeasing wealthy landowners and slavers. We need at least one branch of the federal government that is directly democratic.

The way things are going, an increasingly small minority of extremists will make decisions at the federal level, as we are starting to see now.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in South Georgia, as a visibly non-white guy with a Muslim surname. Folks were nicer to me there than in NYC or DC.

Majorie Taylor Greene was elected in 2021. She’s a reaction to national media efforts that started with the governor’s race in 2018 to paint half of Georgia as “deplorables.” People are tribal. When attacked from outside, they’ll close ranks.

As to Ahmed Aubury, it’s an unfortunate fact that police fuckups and cover ups happen. But the media chooses how it frames any given such event. Notice how the media isn’t portraying the Uvalde police department’s efforts to cover things up as an indictment of the whole community? Do you think it has nothing to do with the community being 80% Hispanic in addition to the police chief? If the community and shooter had been white, we would have been treated to story after story about how “mass shootings are a manifestation of white supremacy.”
WASM can access the DOM by its foreign functions interface. It still needs some data conversion, but it's not through JS.

Rust, for example, has a huge package with interfaces for every DOM function.
> Tho their optimism point is to be happy with what you have and calm down and so on.

Sure, that's fair, I'll even agree that the tone of many of these pieces is hyperbolic. But I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and pretend that things can't go bad, because that's a sure fire way to ensure they eventually do go bad.
Libraries these days also offer movies, music, and some even have games. Should digital versions of all that stuff be free for all as well?
I simply wasn't sure what to make of your comment. I probably shouldn't have assumed the worst in the face of ambiguity. The sentiment that science needs to be newsworthy wrt actual beliefs is omnipresent online, indicating (to me) a wrong canvas for your post.
If you had 24/7 coverage in the news about how X group in another country is bad, you may pause and think this coverage is a little one-sided.

You might want to reconsider the news coverage you may have seen of Russia, Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Bolivia, China, Iran, etc.
I wish the OP the very best. I can't offer any more suggestions, as I suspect there is a great deal more to the story. I am quite aware that finding ourselves in this kind of hole is devastating and humiliating. Getting out, often requires a lot of work.

I have known (and still do know) folks in the same boat. My own "origin story" is one that has some ... exciting bits ...

Some folks have managed to do well in life, despite the challenges; some, not so well. Not everyone can climb out on their own, and the type of help we need, varies greatly, on the kinds of things we don't want to talk about or face.
You wrote:

>Did you intend to be offensive, or was it just the easiest way to describe a certain group of people?

Did you find what they wrote offensive? It isn't clear.

If yes, what aspect of their writing (what particular phrase or word, when considered with/in the appropriate context) was offensive?

If you in particular didn't find what they wrote offensive but believe that others might find it offensive, what aspect of their writing (what particular phrase or word, when considered with/in the appropriate context) do you believe that others would find offensive?
Actually the feminists of the 60's and 70's debated this kind of issue at length and there was a diversity of opinion.

Oh, neat! Thanks for sharing this.
That’s an interesting take given this thread because Apple has explicitly stated they don’t prioritize performance, they prioritize performance per watt, which is not the same thing. And that also shows there’s a whole design space here and just focusing on one dimension, process node, is overly simplistic.
I’m sorry you live in one of the worst countries in the world to be disabled in. While this can be challenging everywhere, the US is especially bad at providing adequate support, both financially and otherwise.

What might help you is looking for a job with part time responsibilities and part time wages and investing full-time into that job if you need to to keep up. If this is viable for a tech role you’re likely to easily afford your fairly modest lifestyle living with family. I know this sounds a bit depressing as you’re essentially taking on a full-time schedule for part-time pay but it’s better than not having a job at all. Other options include looking at work where pain isn’t likely to substantially impair your performance so that you’d be able to get things done. This may involve drastic pay cuts as well, but again while you’re living with family and have a modest lifestyle even a drastic pay cut from peak of the tech market can lead to affording what you need.

As far as therapists go, I’d be considering reevaluating the ones I’ve talked to if you talked with them about your dwindling financial resources and none of them attempted to find an adequate solution or tried to help you get back on track. If you haven’t mentioned it at all you may want to consider doing so if they might have useful advice.

If all else fails, cut costs aggressively. The lack of freedom from not having your own car sucks but it’s better than being bankrupt or cutting needed therapy (if a family member can drive you there). If cutting a car is absolutely impossible for your life then it seems essential to figure out what work you can manage to handle and seek employment in that quickly.
It need not be mutually exclusive. For instance, poker tournament isn't quite like a game of roulettes, there is skill involved, and there is luck involved.

At any given time, the proportion of skill/luck can wildly fluctuate and is not know until a result is observed.

so while I recognize I need skilled people to increase my probability, I am cognizant also of the uncertainty or luck factor.

In what way?
>Does it mean a parent can be forced to donate an organ for transplant for their child?

I am not who you were responding to, but since we were talking previously I will remind you what I said before. You are not obligated to provide what people need above the basic necessities. Organ donations go beyond that.

>NYC is on a whole other scale than just about any other city in North America. The density of NYC changes the economics of just about anything drastically.

Absolutely. Which is why I qualified my statement with "YMMV."

That said, I think one aspect is broadly applicable: Most low to mid-price restaurants (not chain restaurants) operate on pretty thin margins. And the 12-30% (just for "listing" on their website) can often eat all the profits from the business.

And that doesn't include the "service" fees and delivery charges either. Making the whole enterprise a bad deal for everyone except the UberEats/DoorDash/GrubHub/etc.

Edit: Fixed typo.
Well, I would advise against dropping out of college. It is extremely hard for people to go back later. Part of graduating college is proving that you have the ability to stick with something. Believe me, there will be days at a job where you don't feel inspired and having to do things that are not fun. Are you sure you don't want to just change your major, or switch to a different school?

But...

If you have already made up your mind, then I guess my suggestion is to do a boot camp and/or get a certification of some kind.

The problem is you need at least some kind of credential on your resume to keep it from getting tossed out.
I can relate to your sentiment but calling it "pseudo intellectualism" is a step too far in my opinion. The math behind FP is legit. Like Programming Language Theory it can teach you interesting abstractions. And useful basic things like how most collections you use are monoids, map/flatMap, etc.

On the other hand, the original Design Patterns book was published in 1994. I'm still waiting for its FP equivalent.
Because they are made of concrete and not of iron.
But newspapers have always been in the business of grabbing attention. Tim Wu has written about this extensively.[1] The issue for me is that in the past, this generated a lot of positive by-products (i.e. local news reporting on corrupt politicians resulting in them being kicked out of office; local news reporting on polluted water supply resulting in it being cleaned, etc.). With Google/Facebook news, and a focus on national stories, you loose this side benefit.

It is wrong to ask for citations when the answer is so darn easy to get. The first result of the text of your question “[US] bank failures in 2008” yields the answer on any major search engine. Citations should only be asked when due diligence takes longer than 2 seconds.
Maybe I've missed something, but this looks like the exact opposite of the First Amendment:

- You DO have freedom of speech from private companies, etc, as the government states to "stop free speech being whittled away by wokery and political correctness"

- You DO NOT have freedom of speech from the government "this section does not apply in criminal proceedings or of any question whether a provision of primary or subordinate legislation that creates a criminal offence is incompatible with a Convention right"
Unless what they meant is "stop accelerating quite so much" and not "slow down".
Backwards compatibility costs a tremendous amount of silicon to handle the micro-decoding. The more problematic aspect is things like the segment registers from 16-bit x86, which can give you a 4-operand LEA, and other such nonsense. Sure, these operands can be microcoded, but that leaves a lot of performance on the table when a modern program wants to use an old instruction (SETcc comes to mind for branch elimination).
That is probably a good idea for many startups. However, once you get into the world of audits and compliance certifications, things become a lot harder. But, but then again, at this point, I suppose it is easy enough to transition to some managed hardware.

Ten year old software is very different from ten year old hardware.
The major reason I don't use Adobe is lack of trust in Adobe. I want my files to work next year, and in 10 years. That's also why I don't use anything B2B from Google, and avoid Oracle (who doesn't break products the same way as Adobe and Google, but tends to milk cash cows in unpleasant ways).

The payback on open-sourcing something like Flash is maintaining trust. I trust open-source. I trust a few commercial companies who invest like crazy in maintaining trust (e.g. Microsoft or AWS). That leads to business on unrelated product lines down-the-line.

If part of the country tried to split off, who'd go fight to take it back? I'm happy my successful state sends money to some of the less successful ones, because I think every American deserves their share of the pot, but I'm not going to go die for the privilege of sending it.
> OS’ that can’t be upgraded

Well, with Kubernetes this became container images versions and operator versions that can't be upgraded. Though I agree with your in general.
> Modern Macbook which is overpriced elite computer

If you bough a overpriced elite computer, and potentially other parts of that ecosystem of products, why would you not pay for overpriced elite cloud storage as well?

That is very reasonable thinking from Apple.
Almost every k8s project I've looked at in the last few years is database bound. k8s is not really going to solve their scaling needs. They needed to plan more up front about what their application needed to look like in order to avoid that.

Yes, if your application looks like a web application that is cache friendly, k8s can really take you a long way.
It's obvious to builders, being a huge fan of these characters is a huge red flag for me. I've asked the same question many times.
But if you move country, you will no longer need that expensive USA house and car, so you can sell them and get a far cheaper house and car in the country you move to.
ARM instructions aren't as compact as their x86 counterparts, so they need a big cache to get similar performance on cache-bound applications.
It seems like you've done a lot of the most reasonable easy stuff already (lowering expenses, etc.)

I would assume an IC job with a single employer is easier to manage than founder or side projects or multiple consulting clients. Probably something where physical presence is required might actually be better (given that the rest of your life sounds unfulfilling). Not sure how limiting the chronic pain is for this, but finding something where you are provided housing/office/etc. at some location to do whatever work might be a good thing for a while (i.e. the tech equivalent of a remote oilfield job). These exist, but not sure how best to search for them. Might be a chance to transition from backend web dev to embedded, too.

(I was depressed/broke after a big startup failed and the dotcom collapse and crazy ex-gf in the bay area back in 2002; I went to Iraq/Afghanistan/etc for ~a decade to do tech stuff to get away from it.)

Good luck! (Also there's presumably some YC resource? idk, haven't really kept up on YC internal stuff for a while.)
I don't believe so, the term has often been used in self-description.

Once again, not relevant. Reposting:

First off, not Chicago. Highland Park is almost 20 miles outside of the city. With a median household income of $100k and a violent crime rate 4x lower than the rest of Illinois and nationwide. Your comment is unnecessary.

The only point to be made here is about the US having a unique problem with mass shooters. Which has nothing to do with Chicago's general crime rate.
Like you imply I think being punitive may be viewed as healthy because the opposite stance (of encouraging or enabling, or even participating) is boundary-blurring. In this case the temporally removed hypocrisy is better than joining in, which is the other extreme.

Culturally we don’t have a lot of nuance in America yet.
No. I don't even know how you get to this idea. First of all, there is only one national election, you still have your Representative and 2 Senators in addition to your State, County, and Local governments. Second of all, there are more Republicans in New York and California then in a significant amount of the middle states combined. The idea that NY or California has some singular voice that will be force upon you is just a ridiculous concept.

The country clearly leans slightly center left as a whole, but we are trending hard right right now and that is a recipe for disaster and the electoral college is in large part to blame.
"Charitable reading" is something I should definitely lean more towards. Out of habit I usually assume the worst, maybe I should reflect on that.

If, I assume the data is being sent back to their servers over HTTPS .. wouldn't that make this process of encrypting the "data" superfluous and have no impact on the overall security - or did I miss something?

Peter Robertson (the inventor) is Canadian and Robertson screws are very popular there as you mentioned. They exist elsewhere in varying degrees.

For example, I live in Southern California and I haven't seen them at the hardware store until recently. I found one behind a wall-plate in my home several years ago when I was changing a light switch. Thankfully, I'm Canadian, so I already had the right tool -- right next to the unspent Canadian Tire money in my toolbox. ;)
Top end performance is power limited, so optimizing for performance per watt is almost the same thing as optimizing for performance.
Isn't the packaging part of what makes the very wide memory controllers feasible?
Thanks! This helps and gives some great perspective. Given your thoughts on this, would you recommend I start with Go and transition to Rust, or dive right into Rust with the goal of looking back on Go and seeing the difference after 6+ months of Rust?
The FSD beta signup clearly says autopilot may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so the user should expect that IF they want to try the FSD early access. Otherwise drive it manually or don’t opt in to FSD.
Most of the time my Tesla tries to turn into traffic is when the GPS is not entirely fixed so the car thinks it is in a different position. Of course this video is in full screen mode so we can’t see the GPS info.
I stay alert and enjoy testing this new and amazing software. I am responsible and if I’m not comfortable with the risk I can always turn it off or go back to the regular software.
The joke is that you can't even buy the 4th wheel later as a add-on, you need to replace your entire car instead.
Can't believe that I used to mine crypto myself. It wasn't worth the time and money I'd spent on it, I have to say, and I'm glad I decided to become an investor instead. I didn't even have to come up with a strategy, thanks to singularitydao, and it turned out to be highly profitable for me. When you don't have to worry about everything and track the exchange rate yourself because the app helps you succeed in trading and choose the right moment in which you can profit the most, and I think it's highly convenient.
Great question. I’d estimate the odds of winning our car were orders of magnitude better than any organized lottery.

We had a lot to learn about successful execution on the marketing side so the actual number of entries was well less than 100k.

A properly motivated individual may be able to automate finding first-timers like us, and entering via sending postcards, and actually have an excellent chance of winning.

Reminds me of Lazlo in “Real Genius” ;)
I would imagine that more details were available, but I’m recounting some thing that happened to someone else 30 years ago when I was a teenager. So I’m not really clear on the precise details. All I know is that they said she was low on iron and anemic, and the suggestions were to not drink tea and they gave her a hysterectomy. As noted, they failed to discern the actual cause at that time. She was diagnosed with celiac about 10 years later.
Quite right, that was a silly mistake on my part. I did say the smallest element was placed first, but wrote "the list is ultimately sorted in decreasing, not increasing order" backwards.

I meant to contradict the top post: "the largest number is at position 1...we can treat n+1 as a new array of length N-n and solve using the base case proof", which would result in decreasing order (largest first).
11 years is a good age for projects, like building a toy city from cardboard boxes, writing a long story, building a puppet theatre etc. When I was 11, I half-started a lot of projects like that, but usually lost attention pretty quick. I think things would be different if my dad was working on it with me.

Or to take something I did actually do with my father and enjoyed, going for long walks together.
