It’s unclear to me that this case would be covered though? It’s not hard if you lose your legs or arms. Pain and related topics are likely excluded from your standard policy.

Should everyone go back to assembly on bare metal, then?
I want to present you with the Gate Theory of Pain [0].

Think of an area of your body as only being able to transmit one signal to your brain at a time, i.e., only one signal may pass through the gate. If you are experiencing chronic pain in an area, you can apply a different (non painful) stimulus to attempt to override the painful stimulus. To achieve this, many physicians recommend wearing and applying a TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) to the areas you experience pain. It is around $30 on amazon. Cheap solution that is worth a try.

There is more to say on this topic, and I am happy to discuss further. I wish you all the best.

The crypto crisis has created an advertising vacuum
It is always possible but it can be very much more complex and if a mistake is made you could end up with much more downtime or data loss.

I’m fine with planned downtime and usually not willing to pay for service providers to do everything for absolute minimum downtime.
So, you're telling me, the Eiffel tower is being rewritten in rust?
Wrong, the majority of Apple’s thermal efficiency comes from superior design which in turn comes from the fact that they were able to design it from the ground up with no backwards compatibility requirements (since they don’t have any customers of the chip besides themselves).
Serialization/deserialization and templates are a huge pain to keep identical. The rest, not so much.

So, if you can keep all of your templates on a single place, and don't have a lot of data diversity, you won't have a problem. But if that's not your case, you do have a problem.

Personally, I think the frontend code should be more generic on its data and organized around operations that are different from the ones the backend sees. But I never could turn that ideal into a concrete useful style either.
I do in fact read his RSS feed from time to time...
Idk... I know like 10 people who got degrees in math and none ended up working in a job that requires any degree at all. Food service, secretaries, factory workers, insurance salesmen.

I just think there isn't nearly enough jobs in the field compared to the amount of people who are graduating with math degrees. There's only 27,700 actuaries in the US - https://www.bls.gov/ooh/math/actuaries.htm
> They made Georgia out to be an unreformed Confederate backwater

They wouldn't be wrong. For example in April 2021 a black woman from Md was drummed out of a wealthy town in GA for the crime of being black and an educator[0]. This is the kind of thing that happens all the time in the south and west.

For a 20 year old machine, sure. But any machine that was decent 10 years ago should be at least okay today. My 2008 Thinkpad handles all but the heaviest websites without too much trouble, as long as I don't have too many tabs open at a time.
Coinbase-backed Vauld suspends trading, withdrawals amid market downturn
I had a gig where a consultant had just been through (before I started), and totally changed the programming culture of the engineering teams. One of the weird things that happened was my new team no longer tolerated methods > 10 lines, which created exactly what you're talking about: a bunch of tiny single-use methods and helpers scattered across other classes/files/modules/libraries that totally obscured control flow.

It's amazing to me how even smart people can be taken in by Harold Hill types. Can I get a job going around giving advice for $100k a pop? I promise to do better than that guy haha.
Yes, remember that the netbook trend died in 2013. A netbook is a Ivy Bridge-era system.
While clean reinstalling my macOS last month, my recovery partition was lost - and I booted via internet recovery to MacOS Mavericks.

Needless to say, I couldn't even sign in with Apple ID via browser or app store because the world has moved on & these browsers can't work on modern webpages. (I had to use my phone concurrently to help me out with downloading rescue stuff & moving via USB or terminal)
Sorry to hear about your situation, I have not been in your shoes. If you are able to work a few hours remotely have you considered teaching? Maybe something like https://outschool.com or local kids (post on Facebook, Nextdoor) and help kids get ready for AP computer science or something. I use codehs.com for their curriculum and learning platform, and volunteer with a few kids of friends.

It will take some time to startup snd get reputation on outschool but if you find enrichment with teach kids this could be something to consider.

I don't think it would be enough money to make a career but I'd you need to offset some bills it could be a quick way.
Is this thought to have a relationship to the end of the Boring Billion years?

I don't know what to think of this. I mean, a majority of Americans, and an overwhelming majority of rural Americans, believe in Creationism. This is nonsense to them.

For what it is worth, I don't think it matters much that the business is open source.

It just means that it is not the right business for one group of people versus being not the right business for a different group.

Both groups being approximately everyone of course.

Anyway, Patio11's podcast about selling Bingo Card Creator might provide some perspective: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2016/08/26/kalzumeus-podcast-episo...

Good luck.
If he can't figure that out, i'd regret having asked that question because i dont feel like the other replies will be of better quality. Ignore the thread please, y'all.
It's an appropriate question in a forum full of curious people, with no demonstrated animosity.

In the US it's really easy to spend $1500 a month even on medicine alone, not to mention food, electricity, etc.

In other countries, $1500 is minimum wage, and in others it's maximum wage for most people.

Making $1500 a month in Belarus, for example, puts you in the top 1% of everybody.
Sure, the Mickey Mouse design is part of the trademark and the art is part of the copyright. That's probably why any risk adverse company isn't going to touch this when the copyright expires.
Been there, still there… Also no idea what to do. I've been just doing my best to learn a buncha open source related skills (Blender modeling, Python scripting, Linux administration, etc) to try my best to keep some relevant skills alive, but the pain has directly affected my sleep, which has directly affected my skills to a severe degree, so it's slow going. Still trying though, because I'm just not able to completely give up for some stupid reason, no matter how hopeless things appear.
Sometimes I wonder what planet these people are coding on. Hosted k8s makes it so easy.

The other day I spun up a new eks cluster, created some Iam roles, installed the cert-manager, external dns, and aws alb ingress controller.

Then I pushed a deployment, a service, and an ingress and BOOM. Log aggregation, automatic dns, secret handling, ...I can go on.

It is simpler than normal aws services in my experience.
Have you considered technical writing? I don't have experience with chronic pain but if you can still comfortably play video games maybe you can also write articles?

I used to do this as a side gig and collected some resources and places that pay here [0]

I have since started a technical publishing company [1] so it's a full time focus and most of our writers work 20h/week or less. Feel free to apply if it sounds interesting.

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.
Thanks for sharing, hoping I can follow suit and raise an independent free-range daughter who likes me!
Yep. I've been in PDX for 22 years. Back during the BLM protests, my FOX-loving family back east would call me and see if I was OK whenever FOX ran some bullshit story about the city burning.

Once you step outside Portland, it is terrifyingly red. Jefferson Secessionists are the scariest. I've been harassed in small towns outside PDX when I go camping and they see the PSU parking stickers on my car. Heck, I met a guy at a bar in Plush, Ore., who was telling me how he and his buddies made sure no black people ever set foot in his town. And this was in 2018.

Also, KATU news is owned by Sinclair Media. Even OregonLive is dubious. Willamette Week, The Mercury, and OPB are reasonable, IMHO.
Ask HN: How to Stay Focused?
sometimes its really hard for me to focus at my task I always got distracted internally and externally. sometimes I could focus for hours but it only happens occasionally and at a random time. Any tips or article to read so that I could always focus on things that I should do? iirc I jave read it somewhere focus is just like muscle you need to train it to make it stronger, but I want to know what hn thoughts about this
The existence of 8086 instructions doesn’t slow AMD64 instructions.
Straw man argument. Or, you know, maybe highly specific to lazy, edge-case idiots.

Autopilot and fsd still both specifically require an attentive driver.

Responsible adults who understand the systems will use them appropriately- and that might mean “not at all” in unusual/chaotic conditions.

For the rest, there’s Darwin awards.
Everyone (in America at least) should make sure they have LTD coverage of some sort if they can. The public benefits options just aren’t there. This was a mistake I made.
Have you considered a second or third tier company.

Some small SaaS that is looking for full stack etc.

Consulting and startups are wayyy more stressful than changing a tooltip verbiage in a 2 week sprint (seriously the bar for full stack senior engineer so low you could trip on it at many places).

You could be burned out and physical pain can certainly be a manifestation of mental issues.
Bitpanda said no mass layoffs, three weeks before axing one-third of staff
4GiB is plenty for browsing if you run uBlock Origin and disable Javascript by default.
You're confused. They're not calling the addicts undesirables.
I disagree. If you look at someone who could have a female face, female voice, female genitals, hormone levels marked by medical professionals, had massive changes in muscle/fat distribution. This person will be seen to most passersby as a woman, they will face the same systemic disadvantages feminists will have been arguing against for hundreds of years. To argue that oppressive institutions for women should not be removed but rather amended to oppressive for a subset of women is not in any way feminist.
I meant "globally declared" in contrast to instance-oriented (i.e. methods) rather than whether or not a function exists within a namespace, which is what I think you're implying.
Hey there! I was in a similar boat. This might not be a popular solution but what got me, "out of the poverty trap" was going back to school. I have high ACT scores so I can get all my housing, meals, transport, paid for by grants and scholarships and what's left over I can always manage with student loans. I keep a part-time (Wednesday and Thursday) job so I have modest disposable income. I'm still in the thick of it; I won't receive full financial aid until the fall so family's helping out.

Don't lose hope! There are workable solutions to social problems.
If you are interested in approaches to combining programming language and database semantic. There is a bunch of work in this area from the 80s… Look up “Persistent Programming” and “Database Programming Languages” (DBPL).

And yes, get off my lawn :-P
I'm not from Chicago, but all I ever hear about is the murder rate being higher than most countries. It's like that is the only thing people do in Chicago: go out and murder each other.
It is quite common. Take this screenshot of Youtube: https://imgur.com/a/nxGdcWj

The comments total at the top and each of the thread counts need to be kept in sync with their corresponding inline list representations.

Most lists in apps display a total count summary. This is even more common on desktop, where you have room to display more info.
If its like my daughter its watch tiktok 16 hours a day.
Another push by apple into building up the AR dev ecosystem before their AR glasses
It worked, idk, for several years. And on March 22 it stopped working. Do you know the author? Maybe HN community (including me) can help bring it to live again?
There is no plan. These things get resolved by some combination of:

1. civil war
2. political power (domination)
3. secession
4. overwhelming economic prosperity
So it’s not possible?
It wasn't their first attempt. Apple has been making chips for their phones for years.
"You can post obviously absurd scores" makes it more difficult to believe a very good score for a very new device that has mostly been criticized in reviews: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/m2-macbook-pro-perfo...
Cow Clicker (2010)
Nice benchmark! It'd be great to test other Ruby implementations to compare. I'll try to find myself some time to do that.
That still doesn’t make ARM “modern”.
Have you been chronically depressed before? Paragraph two comes across extremely snobby and out of touch in regards to depressed people.
the only rationale to do what you described is if and only if you have outside capital. If you are spending your hard earned boostrapped cash on this, I'm sorry but its a poor business decision that won't really net you any technical dividends.

Again, I really see this the result of VC money chasing large valuations, and business decisions influencing technical archietcture, a sign of our times, of exuberance and senselessness

Engineering has to raise the cost of engineering to match it (280 character limit crud app on AWS lambda with 2 full stack developers vs 2000 devs in an expensive office).
Good advice. Also check out Rachel Zoffness, who is the #1 scientific source for information about chronic pain:

Curable is also a useful resource:

It was just implied that being a prodigy and being schizophrenic might not be far off each other.
Not all professors are the same. Not all universities are the same. If I was in your shoes, I would try to transfer to a different and hopefully better university. Yes, most of what they teach is archaic, impractical, and more theory than practice. With that said, assuming you live in the US ("college" instead of "university"), getting a bachelor's degree is an important credential to get especially if you can get it in CS. I would only consider changing majors if you believe, you just cannot succeed with CS.

If you attend a public university, most states require the universities to disclose "grade distributions" and sites like ratemyprofessors can give you a hint of which university/professors are good or are just horrific. The grade distributions will tell you the letter grades each professor gave each class. I.e., a university/college has the same admissions standards; if two professors teach the same class but one consistently gives Cs while the other consistently gives Bs -- as the Dean of the college or a student, I would be upset.
A free and open source alternative to Plex is Jellyfin, a Fork of Emby before it went closed-source.

I have been using it for years, and I'm pretty pleased with it.
Memory based == is not unreasonable for floats, once in exact representation domain. Of course, if operating in approximated domain, especially involving any of existing math libraries, the float compare should be done with corresp. functions/macro and be epsilon based.
They probably dipped it in liquid nitrogen during testing ;)
I don't agree that the root is the income/wealth gap, but it certainly is playing a big role in the divide.

> little meaningful difference income-wise between Democrats and Republicans?

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-stu... is striking-- and when you look into the sub-demographics of the lowest and highest band it gets more interesting still-- e.g. that 27% in the lowest income band is shockingly rural.
>My unspoken contention was that eventually, we move to a world where k8s-like infra is the de facto norm for 99% of infrastructure out there, and on that road we move to the "no" side of the initial question for e.g. web agencies (meaning, we've moved one notch comparable to the move from old-school SysAdmin to DevOps maybe, you know those 10 years circa 2007-2018 or so).

This is very very hard to parse BTW. I don't want to reply to what you've written because I can't determine for sure what it is that you're saying.
Well, I'm not saying you should discredit advice from people who haven't made great works (IE, most of us), just that it's a question you need to ask to put their commentary in perspective.

Especially when someone like Uncle Bob says: "The first rule of functions is that they should be small. The second rule of functions is that they should be smaller than that. This is not an assertion that I can justify. I can’t provide any references to research that shows that very small functions are better. What I can tell you is that for nearly four decades I have written functions of all different sizes."

Well, alright, in that context he's asking us to just take his word for it, but there are no tangible arguments here. Whereas Casey Muratori has a much more thoughtful exploration of this topic ( https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0015 ), and he's also written some very excellent code (in terms of solving difficult problems and doing useful things)
This advice is not particularly effective. Getting hired into a backend firm is tough as all of them want the same things, if you don’t have those things - then getting a company to “yes” is hard.

People watch tv and play video games because they do not have a high mental demand. If you are on pain medication, or going without - your “free” mental cycles may be non existent

And those are only books. Library of Alexandria is already here.

The only problem is that there is so many books and so little time :( , which might be a far bigger problem than book accessibility. To find the time to read them.

There is at least 1/8 of books that I would love to read. But I don't have the time to actually pull it off, even if I am not doing any social networking etc., but the amount is really huge. Maybe, for a startup, someone could index all the content, not only share it.
Interesting. In martial arts world there were lots of styles that claimed to be "the best" until they did UFC and suddenly people discovered that if you don't know brazilian jiu jitsu you will most likely lose to someone who knows it.

What's the programming analog of UFC/MMA?
But you can run x86 software on the M1 at almost native speed through a software translator. Isn't that proof enough that the instruction set itself isn't what's holding back the hardware?
The republicans who have barely won the presidential popular vote in decades? How is that a free and fair election? Similarly, the senate that confirms the Supreme Court justices — how is it free and fair that Wyoming with 500K people gets two senators, same as every other state? Except DC gets no Congress people in the house or senate. Nor does Puerto Rico get proper representation.
where do you experience the pain? does it get worst or better on certain occasions?
“I am 52 and, on my current diet, can expect to live another 29 years. But if I change now, I could gain an extra decade and live in good health into my 90s.”

Gaining an extra decade seems perfectly reasonable by taking care of our biological machines.

However, do we really understand enough to know what actually works?
Talk to a lemon law attorney. If your car doesn't do what it's supposed to do, it might be a lemon, or at least lemon adjacent enough to be handled by such an attorney. Don't fight with Tesla on Twitter.
Still need journalists though, even for digital.
Because the US murder rate is so much higher than most countries. Chicago isn't in the top 10 for murders per capita in the US. It's not even top 20.

Chicago is #28.

https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/murder-map-deadliest-u-s-ci...

Granted it's way too high, but ask yourself why we don't take about Little Rock or Chattanooga or Richmond this way.
Consider moving to a cheaper country.

By selling everything you own in the USA, you might end up with many many years of living expenses in say Thailand.

In todays world of remote work, even getting a tiny number of consulting jobs, at US rates because you have (presumably) a US education/work history, will then pay the bills.

Many countries have small populations of American/British people you could join. Check visa eligibility first - some countries are far easier to get into than others.

Obviously this probably depends on the whole family wanting to move - and thats a big decision for you to all make together.
I've seen what it is like to be in your 90s. It's like sitting amongst the empties after the party is over and everyone has gone home. You see some who seem ok, but of course you don't see the rest. Square yourself with dying and enjoy life.
It's not a goal, but the idea of monetizing yourself isn't new.
What's a biological man? Not a Y chromosome, since they used to test Olympic athletes but found that the presence of a Y chromosome was not sufficient to identify men and women. (There are multiple genetic conditions that can cause this.) Many athletes had an unpleasant surprise at the hands of the IOC resulting in at least one suicide.

Before testing on real roads, these things should be tested in realistic closed environments. Tesla has been too cheap and lazy to take that basic safety measure.
Do 1 task a day, no matter how small it is, do it consistently for a week or two. Then every other day you do 2 tasks for a month, and you start working up to a point where you feel you do what you can within your limits and get joy from that 1 (or 2) items you can scrap off.

If you live with family focus your tasks maybe on easing their life, pull out 10 weeds out of the garden, take out the trash, fix a squeaking door. Small but attainable things.

Chronical pain is a mess, it's relentless and it's always there, it doesn't go away, but you learn to deal with it. Focus on the pain initially, learn what pain you have and focus on it. I learned to focus on it and make a mental note (do not know how else to say) that it's not worth paying attention to, and I get by without medication. It's not always easy and there are days where you want to cry and cry and just fall asleep so you do not have to feel it.
It's normal and accept that not all days will be the same and successful.

It's a tough hill you are up against, but all shall pass and all will be well in the end. It's unbelievable sometimes, but all shall pass. Remember that.

Good luck, don't falter, reaching out is the first step!
Unfortunately, I am not aware of too much intro-level texts on the topic (I would be happy to get some from other commenters). One well-regarded book is Crafting Interpreters, though it covers a wider topic. Didn’t check this section, but perhaps its GC chapter is a good introduction: https://craftinginterpreters.com/garbage-collection.html
