Enjoying coffee, its production, and its flavors is something I enjoy with my friends. We like to share what we liked about the different roasters we've tried recently.

What's happening in our lives with what flavors we enjoy. I have enjoyed chocolatey, earthy dark roasts and then discovered that roast wasn't a great predictor of those flavors because they came from different roast levels. I've been into pairing natural washed roasts with French press. Lately, in really into syrupy, fruity coffees that are still mild acidity.

It can be a great shared activity to make coffee together, share recipes, and watch techniques.

Preferences are individual and the best coffee is one you like. If you don't keep an open mind, you might miss out something new and something special, but that's ok too.

This actually seems like a major leap forward in a really underloved space. Congratulations on your release.

If anyone is remotely interested in data-labelling/exploration, I would definitely recommend checking this out, it has some really exciting features, for example, built-in zero shot classification for heuristics/baselines: https://docs.kern.ai/docs/building-zero-shot-classifiers

I'm also really impressed with the architecture! Very neat.

Not affiliated with the project, just very pleased to see something like this as an open source release.
Does that concept have a name now? That reminds me of this Japanese comedy sketch about doors: https://youtu.be/nq-2USGVoEE
Moss can grow very thick in Iceland, as thick as a couch. So you can walk over the (cold) lava field below it.
Plus I've observed that people who consistently do a lot of overtime for prolonged periods of time rarely seem stop and think, and are fairly consistently some of the worst programmers I've had to work with. They're not necessarily stupid or lacking in skill – often the opposite actually, they just never stop long enough for their brain to actually process things, so questions like "hey, is this actually a good idea?" or "how can this be done better?" just don't seem to percolate; your brain just needs some "downtime" for that.
Joy allows to return a concatenation on top of stack. That's a single element that can contain several elements, just like tuple in Haskell.
Yes. Of course, hearing is logarithmic and since a 36 dB reduction is six 6dB increments, the reduction from 11 to 5 makes sense.
I'm impressed how Brazil Pix solved much of those problems. IMO is currently the best payment method in the World. Mainly because it broke apart from Visa/Mastercard rules and implemented a new protocol from scratch. http://openpix.com.br/
That's probably true (I doubt the premise to begin with, I'm not sure if Stalin is universally perceived as more repellent than Hitler by the general public in the UK, the poll results notwithstanding - although I'm not a Brit, I only lived in the UK for a few years).

However such general sentiments can 'survive' the knowledge that kickstarted them and propagate in the collective consciousness without it.

Both things, the coffee and the memories, are important to me.

And I don't see the post about being one, or the other.

I see the post about the common point where these two meet, and reinforce each other.
Heatwave across Europe: Warnings of 'heat apocalypse' in France
I find these stories fascinating. I’ve always had a hunch that for a few colleagues in my career, the English barrier held them back and sometimes wished to experiment to see if just discussing a feature or algorithm in their native language would help (just for their tickets for example). Because while they spoke English it was clear they didn’t THINK in English.

This looks like it would’ve helped tremendously.
As a sidenote: "Carbon footprint" as a concept is mostly about industry gaslighting consumers. The original intent was to divert attention from industrial policy to consumer choice. Unfortunately the consumer has very little choice all in all as our economy runs on fossil fuels and individual choice matters very little [0].

"Carbon footprint" was originally invented by the public relations agency Ogilvy & Mather for BP as a concept to divert attention from industry to individuals.

https://mashable.com/feature/carbon-footprint-pr-campaign-sh...

That's not to say that public pressure is not a good thing. It is. But the actual causal effect it has for a better future is in the form of creating political sentiment. Individual carbon economy is mostly about promoting a political sentiment via signaling.

But generally it's a fools errand trying to scientifically balance your "carbon footprint" since this was not an engineering concept to start with. If it makes you feel good to plant trees do it! Trees are awesome. Buying less stuff you don't need is also always good I think. For example I use my cell phones until something irrevocably gives up and drive my current car as long as possible (generally making a new car is always more resource consuming than driving the current one I think).

I would switch carpenters for tailors :) That actually how it happened with regard to Jews - the first ones to come to America were tailors, which helped them become lawyers, since they got access to cheap suits, which are essential in this profession :)
> Microsoft has a fork of VS Code called Azure Data Studio

It's pretty buggy, and they haven't made much progress on fixing the bugs. I've used it pretty much since it came out - I do Microsoft SQL Server & Postgres work on my Mac - and the thousands of open issues on a relatively new product say something:

I use Gnucash to do the accounting of two small communities. It does the basics and some reporting for me. I don't need more. It's been around for a while and that gives me trust that it will stay maintained and I won't have to re-learn another app.
I can confirm this happens. I used to cook, but even when I didn’t cook I would make a simple sandwich or pasta sometimes. But a huge number of people have forgotten how easy it is to prepare something simple since they became reliant on these apps.
I disagree about the retirement thing - I knew a lot of multi-millionaires from a very successful IPO who kept working for 5+ years afterwards. Even fully vested they had all their friends at work, they had a lot of influence, it was like a weird little social club for mostly dudes who didn't really have other hobbies outside of work.

I agree about the second half, though. My current job is just a terrible meat grinder, hiring and churning like crazy, and they just keep pouring gas on the fire by trying to grow headcount without retaining people they already have. Everyone is sick of interviewing and the solution is to hire more people so the new people can start interviewing and take some pressure off the old people.
Shopping is always inconvenient. Even if the shopping is online and delivered, it’s pretty inconvenient to have to find stuff and schedule a time and take the delivered groceries in when they arrive. One of the features some of the newer 15 minute delivery shops have is allowing you to select only items in stock, which saves all of the actual store time, since you don’t have to be glued to your phone for the inevitable questions.
are there so many?
I know of:
ChaDeMo - Japan;
GBT - China;
Type2 - EU;
Type1 - US;
Tesla - US.

Type1 and Type2 have the same signalling so they're compatible via adapters (you can import EU/US-only EVs to either region and they can be charged with adapters).

You can find some Chademos around EU and US due to the popularity of the old Nissan Leaf. Tesla uses Type 2 in the EU as do all other manufacturers, including Nissan with their new EVs.

In the EU Type2 is mandated since 2015 on all newly homologated EVs.
In the US Type1 is recommended by the SAE since 2009. Early EVs imported to the EU had Type1. No such mandate in the US for using Type1, but Tesla is the only outlier which chooses to use another standard. Tesla has adapters to use on ChaDeMo and Type1 so, little issues there.
Idk about the regulations in China and Japan.

Do you know of more plugs/sockets that are in use in the US and EU?
Way not to understand the comment you replied to: Yes, the industry needs gas, not electrical heating. And at the moment, most gas in Germany is used for industrial purposes; some, to heat homes; and some, to generate electricity.

Therefore any gas freed up, by not being used to generate electricity or heat homes, can be used for those industrial purposes in stead. So using nuclear power in stead of gas to generate electricity, and electricity in stead of gas to heat homes, frees up some gas for industrial use.

Sheesh.
I haven't faced this, although I could expect it at the worst places.

If I do really high quality work, am positive and proactive towards the companies goals, contribute and encourage others, I have never been looked down on for working reasonable hours and not working weekends.

I think some employees think they can be fulfilled as a spectator in their companies journey rather than someone who believes in it and helps it. At my current employer, it isn't necessarily the subject I would choose as my most favourite thing but I believe in what they are doing to help people with online data collection and I am an active part in that journey so I can feel fulfilled.
I find this extremely relatable actually. So much so I wrote two articles on it. You're not alone OP - micromanagement, pointless requirements that have been (sometimes deliberately) misinterpreted from user requests, treating developers as worthless replacable tools, constant time pressure, big Agile ™, is honestly killing the industry.

But that's not really "spam", right? That's targetted phishing, which is quite a different thing.
Pinged you
Throughout my 20s, I did a lot of extra hours on work projects. I'd have been doing programming anyway (it's what I love and did a lot of) and here were some ready-made problems that I could work on, that expanded my skills, and that mattered to someone.

It literally was my interest, not much different than when my kids would come to me asking me to make up a long division problem for them to work out when they were first learning multiplication and division.
The reason URL shorteners have mostly gone away, AFAICT, outside of ones that a company provides for its own links only, is that they got used a lot for spam and malware campaigns.

I miss the functionality a lot for a number of not malicious use cases, but I don't see a way to avoid that problem at the moment.
My primary now is ungoogled-chromium and it works well. I tried FF multiple times, but eventually went back always to chrome for it's snapiness.
Sounds somewhat related to the "tough times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, weak men create tough times" adage. (Men and women, of course!)
From the linked website's FAQ:

*- But I've been told that free energy is impossible because of the Law of Thermodynamics.

What if the KryonEngine doesn't actually break this law? What if there actually is no energy "coming out of nowhere"? What if this "new" energy has in reality always been there, and we simply haven't been able to perceive it, because we haven't been taught how and where to look and measure?*

What if the author actually answered the damn question? Wow. I'm to take this seriously? One of the largest obstacles to believing something like this is, of course, to show how thermodynamic laws are either wrong or that the machine is compatible with them. The website author correctly recognizes this objection but then does nothing to answer it other than to imply some sort of hidden knowledge is available if you ask, "what if?"

I see this with religion a lot. They talk about mysteries and such, and then suggest that if you look at things the right way that you can be enlightened, too. But if you don't "get it" that the fault is some failing or inadequacy of yours rather than on piss-poor explanations or reasoning in the faith itself. Of course nobody wants to be the failure, especially if a group of people are telling you this, so you are soft-pressured into "seeing the light".
Can you give us some context or background of the field you’re in? Things differ quite a bit between a mobile app vs shipyard crane controller software.

The point is that even “proper” long term planning doesn’t work for the former. You never have enough information for the plans to actually materialize, it’s not simply the planners fault.
As a user I hate it when I get localised prices, especially if the at-the-time exchange rate ends up being more expensive for me. If I see something sold for $9.99 but I get £9.99 I think "why am I paying more for this", simply because the exchange rate is more favourable since I'm in the UK. But when I only see USD prices I'm more likely to buy something as it's not overly complicated.

If you want you could pull real-time exchange rates and have a button that indicates the conversion for someone who wants to see the "most likely" price (depending on when they actually pay for it).

For example if you sell something for $9.99 just leave it as such, and Stripe will make the conversion and you'll always sell at the same price regardless from where someone is coming from.

That's how I feel about it anyway!
True that. I deal with this by applying the Robustness principle [1] where possible: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others." In other words, be forgiving of bad design while setting a high standard for what I do.

> Why didn’t they have more computers?

One of the reasons: ideology.

Replacing 50 people team with 5 people team and a computer (less people working less hard) while possible technically wasn't desirable.
Perhaps that is the reason for the apex domain to be dead in the first place - to communicate that the subdomains are the real roots of separate sites. Similarly, TLDs themselves are not supposed to have any A records (although there are some that do).

"No case" worked for me for about 18 months. Now I'm forced to wear a case to keep the broken glass from cutting my fingers when picking up my phone (the back of the phone shattered but the front is perfectly fine with no screen protector). How / why the back of a phone would be made of a material that is essential glass is beyond me.
I don't think this is "the industry" i.e. Software, it is "industry". The exact same stuff exists in all kinds of companies.
AP stylebook new guidance avoids “assault rifle” as it “convey little meaning”
> The company still operates in cities like São Paolo, Mexico City, and Bogotá.

The article kind of glosses over this, but delivery is much more viable in cities where labor is cheap. Delivery is hugely popular in eg China and South-East Asia, where the few dollars of unsubsidized delivery fees paid by the middle class can actually sum up to a living wage for the poor doing the jobs.
I think many people in this industry can relate. Development is stressful and rife with collaboration and management issues in many organizations. Sometimes, it's possible to knock down the small things one-by-one until you have a more pleasant working environment and home life. But in other cases, the best course of action may be to become a farmer like in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/ub1rmi/cor...
It is a culture thing. People who receive reviews that address issues of design, structure, maintainability, and abstraction will learn to do the same for others. This is hard to establish but once it is there it sticks. Early stories about how some Googlers managed to shift the entire company to seeing code review as normal and expected are fascinating.

Google also has documentation, guidance, and training on how to review code effectively.
Most of the content of the tweet is in an image so bit of editorializing on my part to compress it into an HN-length title.
I once saw a documentary about commercial Scuba diving. This is for the guys who work on oil rigs and such. At one point the instructor asks the students, "How much will you get paid for diving in the first year?" They throw out a bunch of numbers and then he draws "0" on the blackboard and follows up with "You will get paid nothing for diving. You will get paid for what you do while diving." That means welding or whatever.

Programming is a tool. Computers are tools. You're not getting paid to program. You're getting paid to solve some problem for your employer by programming.

So I can related. I think we all can. But all that other stuff that you hate doing is really what you're getting paid for. Some jobs will have a lot of it. Ohters will have less. But you'll never get away from it except for possibly the most junior jobs where you're literally given tasks to complete by other engineers.

For me, I enjoy understanding and improving systems. YMMV.

Perhaps you'd enjoy something lower-level more? Fixing Linux kernel bugs is by its nature going to be more technical than, say, developing an ad revenue and reporting system. But even more technical projects will get large enough that you have to deal with other people.
Changing that option doesn't change anything in my subjective feeling. It's not only scrolling that is laggy, I think. Also I didn't change any settings between a week ago and now, still suddenly it got laggy. It works fine on my iMac (albeit an older Intel iMac) with the exact configuration. (I use Firefox as my work browser and since I usually work at the iMac, it's been a week or two since I've last used Firefox on my M1 MBA.)
> as you all know, side hustles don't make money over night

If by "side hustles" you mean side projects - these are something between a hobby and a learning opportunity.

If you mean contract work - many people work as freelancers. I used to, so to avoid issues with corpowork (micromanagement, meetings, internal politics) and to be able to choose projects I genuinely like. For me, it was far from "stress-free", but I know many people who precisely prioritize this part. I prioritized creativity, ambition, and learning.

Of course you don't get benefit of corporations, but it is crucial - what do you want? What do you optimize for?

Ad weekends - I bet you are from the US, aren't you? Try Europe.
I subscribed to Linkedin Learning a few months ago, mainly because I wanted to push myself to complete at least one tutorial per month. It's not cheap (about £30 pm) but the content is of very good quality. Tutorials are split into lessons and chapters. They all have transcripts added by the author. No flashy fillers, no talking heads, no wasted time. Just pure content made by known and respectable professionals in the domain. For example the 'Async Python Foundations' course has already helped me at work.

Edit: I now realise this post sounds like an advertisement, but I assure you that was not the intention. It really is a breath of fresh air among video platforms. It feels like the content creators would rather starve than promote the latest VPN software mid-lesson.
Should sendfile(2) not report error if it managed to send a non-zero amount of data? IIRC write(2) behaves like that.

I don't have a mac. But the discussion of Apple's design for the trackpad and keyboard is fascinating. Running the touchpad and keyboard through an embedded M3 microcontroller that's wired to the rest of the system over the SPI bus rather than USB for both lower latency and higher power efficiency.

> I love building and working - always have, always will. ... but the
industry is literally destroying my soul and it has recently become
crippling.

Then alea iacta est, you have thrown your dice, and must destroy it
before it destroys you. You must "take back tech", by building and
working against all that you see around you. Welcome to the
exhilarating challenge of being a real hacker and entrepreneur.
For me it’s the insane hazing ritual of the tech interview process that makes me want to leave the industry.

I’m going through it again now, and honestly am pretty miserable. It has a large negative impact on the rest of my life and my mental health. When I was younger it was manageable, but the fact you have to do this even mid or late career every few years is insane to me.

Wish I had gone into literally any other career now, despite it being my passion early on in life.
I think you're referring to Communism-the-abstract-concept, whereas Orwell and OP are referring the Communism-what-actually-happened-everywhere-we-tried-it. The former is a utopic ruler-less society, the latter ends up being a totalitarian terror state brutalizing its impoverished citizens.

The very point of Orwell was recognizing this, and the fundamental similarity across totalitarian ideologies.

As an addendum, note that training for a competition does not eliminate this
overfitting to the test set. Most competitions make the test set instances
available, though not their labels. Many restrict the number of submissions that
can be made but usually accept several. There's even a bit of jargon regarding
how to game this, it's called "hill climbing the test set" (really, it's hill
climbing the performance on the test set, i.e. it's the accuracy on the test set
that's optimised). Here's an actual how-to:

https://blockgeni.com/how-to-hill-climb-the-test-set-for-mac...

One benchmark I know where the test set is completely hidden is François
Chollet's ARC dataset, and that's done precisely to preclude overfitting to the
test set.
What you are feeling is valid. Do something about it!! I know a guy who built his own open source server and now makes a living out of providing support.

Admittedly that case is a longshot. But there are other things you can do. Let's brainstorm for a bit and think about it. It can be solved.

I also hate this industry. There is a path for us, we just have to find it.
