This resonates with me also. I've gotten into a nasty habit of always trying to do everything myself.

I recently launched a project for tracking crypto market data and suggesting trades. I went to Fiverr to see if I could get someone to design me a UI, and after going around one guy quoted me ~1.2k USD.

I decided that I could do it myself, and proceeded to spend multiple evenings working on it. I did learn something true, but it delayed the launch by weeks and if I factored my hourly rate in i probably "overpaid" several times over.

Getting past this "do it all" mentality is going to be one of my goals for the remainder of the year.
Not having to map controls to physical knobs uses less of my CPU.

And since I don’t have to remember how I mapped three days ago because it seemed like a good idea, hardware uses less of my RAM.
Totally agree. I literally piped updates to diff last night to see whether GCP were actually making progress fixing anything or just spamming the same update message. Would make a useful twitter bot…
If this is typical sentiment from crypto users, then the maintainer has done the right thing. I too would not like to spend my spare time and energy supporting people who can't distinguish between "oppressing minorities" and "giving away my time to demanding internet strangers".

As you feel so strongly, I look forward to seeing what replacement for websockets you are able to create.
Because if you are supposed to be prepared for sudden work outside your normal work hours, you should be compensated outside of your standard pay. Period.

And sure, it is priced in because the companies can get away with it. This doesn't mean it is right or fair as the price is always going to be in the company's favor and rarely fair to the employee. For example: My brother worked for a US railroad. He didn't have a set schedule. Instead, he got 10 hours rest after a shift and then he was on call. They only closed down on Christmas and New Year's. You were expected to do this on-call work perpetually. The money was good for the area as were the benefits. They advertised in depressed areas without much opportunity, so it made it easier to prey on folks that will accept the poor treatment. I'm pretty sure having to pay folks for each of those hours would change the behavior of the company in the employee's favor.

So yeah, even one hour of 'on-call' should be paid extra, outside of your basepay. Even for companies and industries that aren't being actively evil so that it doesn't happen in the future.
I skimmed the article and looks like they didn't try to compare the font from two different PCs. I think it may be a uniquely generated/procedural font, identifying a specific installation.
I've always thought the same, with one exception:

You can (and should) use lightweight formats that are hard to read by a human and have the shell format it to look nice. You can even format the same datum differently depending on context.

I don't like the idea of using the same format for machine and human consumption, they have different requirements.

Many people mention "social status" element, which is for sure important, because many jobs will get you basic needs covered. Everyone is well aware of how successful/rich life looks like when you get bombarded with this content from every corner of social media / ads etc.

My hypothesis is that it's not fun/interesting to work on becoming a PRO carpenter (in general), when all the hype (that's hard to disconnect from) is about "You're missing out on crypto bro, that's the future".

I don't have anything against crypto, but you get the example.
Reading this:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/t...

What this seems to be is:

- Intel CPUs with SGX have an additional CPU mode that understands and runs XuCode, "XuCode is implemented as a variant of 64-bit mode code, running from protected system memory, using a special execution mode of the CPU."

-- I know that "ring" terminology is used to describe CPU modes, e.g. calling a hypervisor setup ring -1, SMM ring -2, and the Intel management engine ring -3. Seems like this mode is something like ring -2.5.

- "It is authenticated and loaded as part of a microcode update and is installed into a Processor Reserved Memory (PRM) range, typically allocated by system firmware. The memory range itself is protected from software and direct memory accesses by the Processor Reserved Memory Range Registers (PRMRRs)."

So the BIOS steals a bit of your RAM (which the ME already does), sets it up to be the PRM, and a microcode update unpacks XuCode now contained in the microcode data, and puts it in this PRM. I guess some SGX instructions are essentially a specialized form of INT instructions that "exception out" specifically to this special CPU mode/PRM space.

So I'm under the impression XuCode is essentially called by the microcode when certain SGX instructions are encountered.

Weird ...
I understand his decision but still I'm disappointed.
International comparisons are difficult, because the numbers are rarely comparable. The US system is based on paying large amounts of money to people, who then use large amounts of money for paying for various services. The European system pays or subsidizes many of those services with tax money, while nominal wages and benefits are lower.

The US social security is not a pension system. It's a welfare system designed to pay for basic necessities for those with no other substantial income. Its nominal target is replacing 40% of income, though that decreases with income. Mid-income people already receive less than 40% of their former wages.

Mandatory pensions typically replace 60-80% of income. Their purpose is to support retirement without a substantial decrease in quality of life. The French system, as far as I understand, is rather generous, aiming to replace 70-80% of income.
Excellent link, thanks!

Same issue. I find Apple devices are the most aggressive to try to pair themselves, even when the devices are in sleep mode! Most of the time I just relegate myself to holding the pair button on the headphones and re-pairing from scratch.
I think it very much depends on the equipment. I think we have multiple tiers of what we support at each type of facility, with traditional data centres having less stringent requirements (maybe w.r.t noise/filters rather than temp) compared to the facilities housing big routers where -5/55C is the spec to meet.

You are right, and it's arguably harder for those smaller boxes sitting in cabinets / on telegraph poles, despite being much lower power systems to start with. It might be 50C+ in there before they even turn on! Those things might have a two-stage boot process where they just run their fans for a bit to cool things down before actually booting the main system. It must be a real nightmare for entirely passive stuff, I have no experience with that.

The problem is not being on-call, but that most companies do it poorly.

Often it becomes a tool to force people to work a whole lot more.
I like lisp. :-)

But your GC mark (fe_mark) is recursive => it's not embeddable. You need to take care to have O(1) stack for the whole system. All functions: no recursion. The gcstack may grow, obviously, no problem, but the system stack must be O(1), because you cannot dynamically grow it in embedded systems. And this includes GC mark. This is the typical problem, so I looked there first. ulisp (lispbadge) has the same problem...

You can make the mark phase iterative by storing the backtracking stack inside the heap cells you're marking. It's no problem, just a bit annoying to debug, but it needs to be done to claim 'embeddable'. Maybe 20 lines more code.

It can be fixed!

Yeah - it just "felt right" in the hand. I had a modem, with a serial connector dongle that would let my Motorola flip be used with my Newton 120... Dial-up internet in the "palms of your hands" while hanging around in coffee shops circa 1995/6.
Antipsychotics are nasty medications. Here are the list of problems I’ve had:

- Sedation (too tired to function)

- Emotional numbness if I need to increase the dose to stop an episode.

- Headache

- Loss of balance.

- Impaired fine motor control.

- My arms and legs don’t move properly. I’ll command my arm to move, and it only moves
halfway. I used to fall a lot before I learned to be very careful walking.

- Inability to orgasm.

These get pretty bad in the first four hours after taking them. During the day, if I get dehydrated or have low blood sugar, I can easily get incapacitated and be unable to drive.

And no, my dosage isn’t too high. This is the lowest effective dose I can be on. The alternative is lithium, which can be worse.

Part of the logic of current big ships is fuel efficiency.

If fuel was much cheaper, (which is true for renewable energy) then more, smaller ships might make sense.

If the crew could be automated, that further tips towards fleets of smaller ships.

This then has knock on effects for variable delivery times (fast and expensive as well as slow and cheap) and the size of canals and ports, and dredging requirements which allows things to arrive closer to their final destination.

> It was only because Nixon didn't like the fact that kids were not going to war, that the war on drugs was started.

Was it this or that he saw asserting dominance over youth culture as a political winner? Judging from the present moment, bullying the less powerful seems to have a lot of political juice. People want to keep the uppities down.
I didn't claim that they were from the time.

What I am saying is much simpler: that DR didn't deliver a Mac-like GEM on the PC for the excellent reason that Apple sued them to stop them doing it. That's why PC GEM got crippled, and ended up as just a file manager/app launcher in the form of ViewMax.

(It is also worth nothing that Caldera subsidiary Lineo made GEM GPL around the turn of the century, and since then, PC GEM regained all the features Apple made DR remove and more, including Bézier curve support and things.)

All I am saying is that Atari GEM wasn't crippled, was a popular and well-loved GUI that people are still using and working on even today.

But git clean requires confirmation, unless you configured Git to not ask your permission to trash the .gitignored files.

It even shows you which files are going to be deleted.

Now, on that topic of "important but (.git)ignored files", I don't know what the best practices are but I like to symlink my IDE config files / test API keys etc. that aren't to be committed to Git. So in case I'm not cautious I'm only deleting the symlink but not the file itself.

To me it's the best of every world: I don't need to take any special care of "not backuping" these infos were they shouldn't be backed because I don't backup my Git repo with anything but Git (and they're .gitignore'd so I'm good), I don't risk losing them even if in engage in reckless behavior (like a git clean or some "rm -rf ..." the whole repo and re- git clone, you guys know what I mean) and I can centralize my secret / personal config files into a specifir dir which I know is important and which I can securely backup (say doing encrypted backups).

If I delete the symlink (and git clean only deletes the symlink, as expected), I can just re-create it.
I am not a crypto user nor investor.

You certainly are dividing the world into us vs them and trying to fit me into a box because I dared disagree. That's exactly the intolerance I was talking about.
I commute with the Bose Soundsport bluetooth headphones, which I actually like, but randomly they will announce that they've disconnected from this or that device, despite continuing to play audio and all of the other features with that device just fine.
He has every right to decide so. It is his prerogative.

> It’s more money chasing the exact same number of resources as existed before hand

Because of supply chain issues, it's more money chasing fewer resources. I think people focus too much on the money supply and not enough on supply chain shortages. IMO, the bump in stimulus money given would not have caused this level of inflation without also the decline in supply to go along with it.
Are there other ones?
Hard disagree. And, the illusion of "chance" is what?

Owning a house? Check

Starting a business? Check

Starting a family? Check

Getting an advanced education? Check

The US is full of opportunity and "chances". Just because you feel nobody has a chance does not make it so. Nothing is for free - you need to be willing to put the effort into making it happen.
The article is about why that's not true for shorter distances, and as soon as it's true for those, you do the math and find that floating supercharger stations are cheaper than nuclear.

You could even build floating, nuclear powered supercharger stations, if nuclear didn't cost more than the alternatives.

They don't say that they are DMCA claims, but they are DMCA claims.
You're using "never" everywhere here. That is in my opinion the main red flag here.

On-call should be at most one week in four-six. Moreover, with a healthy on-call culture (where stuff is fixed, and alerts happen rarely in practice), usually you can pass/swap on-call to others for an evening, or for an afternoon, or for a weekend, as almost always there is somebody who's plan is "sitting at home" and nobody minds having the pager in such circumstances if it almost never pages outside of working hours.
> who is to say the change will positively impact future predictions (arguably all that matters to the business)?

My point is that you are the person who can do this. Not up front, but you have the ability to look at your past prediction of future outcomes and see if what you're doing is actually working or not. You already had the predictions. You now know the actual outcomes.

How does the performance metrics of your model's predictions from back then on your validation set compare to the performance of your models when they were used for real? How would the prior day's model do. Or the prior year's?
I completely agree. But without the individual choices, the institutional change never gets a constituency.
> There is no valid argument for trusting electronic voting machines.

'Trust' is a strong word. It can be the case that the best electronic vote-tallying system offered to an electoral authority is better than the best paper-based vote-tallying system.

Generally, one should judge the system as a whole, and vote-system and cyber-security experts did judge the 2020 elections and found the allegations of fraud to be without basis, even though many of those same experts are generally critical of electronic voting machines.
yeah, I liked how they explicitly distinguished the benchmark apps that made significant use of x87 as supporting x87 is necessarily an all software floating point implementation - it's impossible to get close to native performance for x87 heavy code on non-x86 architectures.
My grandparents and parents either experienced or personally knew people who lost everything at some point, through war, social strife, or economics, and personal tragedies. Same on my spouse's side. Physical photos and letters were among the few things that often survived, possibly because they are only of value to the original 'owner'. I think that close brush with the impermanence of belongings fueled the habits of preparing for loss by archiving and preserving physical mementos. People trust that digital artifacts will survive through redundancy, but we're so early in the process of testing that belief. And society has been rather stable in comparison to my grandparents' generation ...

How does it work for you to be on-call 24/7 for escalation? I get that that ends up happening for many committed founders/operators/managers, but I struggle how that can be a real strategy.

Are you never off-grid for a bit, or drunk in a bar, or just on a real no-work vacation? There seem to be situations where being on call just isn’t feasible.
Dark Roast – Caffeine for macOS Ventura
I think the blame has to lie with Lexus. My current phone is an iPhone and my previous phone was a Pixel and both work perfectly in my Subaru, although the head unit was replaced 3 times because it was triggering some type of SOS signal to Subaru.

Frankly, I've had fewer BT issues with my iPhone than I had with my Android phone, but the Android was from three years ago and I think things have probably improved since then.

> Being On-Call Sucks

Which is why I won't do it. Either hire people specifically to do it, or provide sufficient incentives so that people volunteer. Being a good "first responder" is a skill and not everyone has it or wants it.
It feels like the lower you go down the job skill ladder the more the more ridiculous employer demands become. Obv this has to do with supply/demand curve, but it's still frustrating to watch.

My hunch when some these places say they can't get talent or etc. they have a particular idea of what they want: young & low pay & desperate. and all the complaining about labour shortage means: a shortage of low pay workers. Esp here in Canada as there was a couple years where the temporary foreign worker program wasn't fully operational due to COVID.

My wife is trying to get back into the job market after 10+ years out. There's supposedly been a labour shortage here in Canada. She has -- in addition to being a mature functional adult who has raised a family and managed a home -- almost a decade of work experience (in the past) in marketing and some design at Apple, an honors degree in Anthropology with a boatload of academic awards under her belt, an a two year programme in UX research & design from a local university. She has been applying for junior positions and doesn't even get nibbles. Even local retail jobs etc. she's gone for have not responded.
Okay.

I agree that kids should not be preyed upon in schools.

On-call means you have to plan your free time around being available to work. That's never going to be "just fine" for some of us, no matter how it's structured.
That statistic is extremely misleading because it completely ignore systemic risk. And it does not account for environmental damage.

Additionally, it is not based on nuclear reactors on rusty cargo ships run by cash-strapped companies. Those companies are notoriously hiring the cheapest workforce they can find and dodging regulations in any way they can.

And you would trust them never to leak some radioactive coolant in the ocean?
