Sounds blissful :-) not knowing enough, I'd generally say to stay for now but also kickoff a thoughtful "project" to discover what you want to do next: research online, talk with people, take interviews, etc. Who knows, maybe you stay? At least you'll know why. One thing that helped me: creating a spreadsheet, where columns are the concrete choices you have, and rows are reasons to make them. The big win is helping clarify why you chose a direction, and which choices are holistically better than others. The sheet can run for months or years and that's fine.

Think about what you want to optimize. 5-10 years from now, what do you want your life-experience to have been? Are you having fun? Are you learning/growing? Are you building a network? Is it sustainable i.e. if the company reorg'd tomorrow and your whole team laid off, could you get another job?

They say that happiness is most strongly correlated with having a good relationship with your direct manager, and that's been my experience.

For me, there was little correlation with pay - all four quadrants have examples. But money is funny, and has strong correlations to culture: good to understand your understand your relationship with money, both short term and long term. Watch out for sucker deals, both in income, overhead/taxes and lifestyle costs: it's easy to end up with far less money than you think based on the paycheck, especially if there's complex stock or benefits. Also, you're only on this planet once so optimize your time as well: a good paying job that's crazy hours can be a sucker bet if you're not learning/growing enough. A job can pay crap but be intense learning and payoff in the next job.

Watch out for grass-is-greener: I see lots of jobs that sound awesome... from the outside. Also lots of jobs that sound awesome for summer, but not years. Switching is a lot of overhead.

Happy to help if you want, DM me. I learn from hearing other peoples' stories.

HN note: I'm not mentioning extreme options since it sounds like you're blessed with a comfortable position in the upper middle class. Some people have real freedom to radically change their income and/or expenses, which then presents different challenges.
Nix documentation is such a clusterfuck. You have to basically forage some kind of "most up2date understanding" of basic best practices from random ass blogposts / digging into other people's configs. This is a major red flag.

Great point! I am 40 and when I look at pictures of myself 10 years ago, I look and feel much much better now. One day in my early thirties I started running and going to the gym. But I had phases of extreme motivation following phases of zero motivation. A personal trainer might have helped, but is expensive.

What really brought a turning point was when I discovered a sport I always wanted to do, but did not know it exists in that form. Historical fencing (HEMA). - There I found good friends and sport. Sometimes when I have no energy, I still go to training to meet them. Also this sport is very competitive, be it in sparring with friends or tournaments. If you do not stay in shape and train, your performance will visibly look bad and people start asking you what's wrong and how they can help.

So that's my advice. If a personal trainer is nothing for you, take a look at competitive sports, even if you are too old for world ranking and such. Try to find the gym or group where the people, including the trainers, are interesting to you and you feel welcome. - This way motivation will become totally positively intristic. Actually you will be sad if you miss a training or event. =)
Fair enough. But it would seem that for a remote worker, the value for the company comes from what they produce, not from where they produce it from.

To me, this would instead be an argument that "since engineers are equal, might as well get the cheapest one". Which is an argument I can understand, even if I don't agree.

But this would mean that your compensation would be mostly fixed, and you'd mostly look for people living in cheaper places, since this should give you a better bang for your buck. Which would mean, basically, that you'd be looking to pay en engineer in San Francisco the same as one living in a tent in Africa. If they're the same, why would you pay 100x more for the one in SF?
Semiconductor tech and fab capacity has become a key strategic asset, especially for China as they are the weaker side and are playing catch-up. So realistically I would expect a "do whatever it takes" approach to gaining advantages.

By default, Android will use the network assigned servers, trying to upgrade to an encrypted protocol if available. The owner of the device can configure a custom Private DNS server (either DoH or DoT) which bypass local networks.

This has been possible for a long time on Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. Network "security" based on blocking DNS queries is really snake oil. Always has been.

Lots of people on HN don't understand the difference between C-level exec roles ("management") and functional management roles ("management").

They also look at salaries at non-public startups where some part of the package is denominated in the stock options price (which may or may not be fiction).
If that was true, wouldn't it mean at least some of those intelligent people were in management of software? Meaning it should always be 1. On time, 2. With all features and 3. Without defects?

Or maybe the people in software aren't very intelligent... Or they are all hard problems.

Weren't a lot of towns built basically surrounding a castle?

I guess people in towns would see wealthy people often, but people in remote farms and villages wouldn't.

I'm not sure exactly what wealth is being rubbed in my face today. News about rich people? I would assume there would also be news and gossip about rich people back then too.
Carlsen, yes. But only because of his personality and streaming. I played in the chess club every day in high school in the 90s, and I must have had a similar reaction about computers, because I don't know what happened after Kasparov.

I also stopped watching red sox games once they won the world series. Fandom is weird.
The most famous example of an app choosing not to be on the play store is Fortnite. Google even had to add a feature to their play store search to show a message that Fortnite is not available, so that people don't get desperate and install one of the many scams. Fortnite did this because they didn't want to pay the Google tax, but other apps might do it because they want to spy on users more. The danger exists.
I think it is mostly to differentiate the air from the pro. Evey professional needs 2 display monitors and the air can't do that. The air is however perfectly capable of handling day to day coding tasks. If it supported 2 monitors, it would have effectively cannabalized the pro line.

Well, they can leave the market. But the problem here is, that the EU concepts are often adapted elsewhere (e.g. GDPR is more or less adopted by California) especially, since these regulations often make sense and are not too political/onesided. GDPR - while we all hated it - make sense. This DMA - while it is extremely hurtful for the gatekeepers - make sense for the users.
Ignoring the derogatory words of the article; this is a massive technical feat for SMIC whose business is severely hampered by US sanctions. Also doing double patterning with DUVL, which I assume is the basic technique here, for higher resolution is not something that is unique to, nor owned by TSMC.
You may already be aware, but it’s no longer owned by ROLI, they sold it to PACE who it seems are investing in it more heavily
Be careful what you wish for. I recall when Visual Studio switched to from native to managed (VS 2005?) and it was brutal. It was sluggish, crashy, with weird WPF UI bits thrown in here and there to support some oddball feature.

As for C, maybe you meant C++? Kicking out a modern, complex, desktop, web/network-centric application in C is just begging for trouble. Particularly given all the headline grabbing research MS has done into how error prone manual memory management has been in their organization [0][1]

Actually, it doesn't really seem like a language issue, does it? You can have a terrible app in C/C++/Rust/Go/JS, any language, you name it. Even electron seems a little like a scapegoat - e.g., VSCode and (previously) Atom are examples of "js-on-the-desktop crap" that are surprisingly solid.

It's not the language that's the problem, and it's not (arguably) the underlying framework. The app just sucks. If Teams were written from the ground up in C# or C and had the same functionality (or lack of functionality), it would still suck. Teams, as a product, is just sub par compared to other offerings. Even so, it's good enough for the majority of Microsoft's enterprisey and/or locked-in customer base since it's so well integrated into everything else they offer.

What amazes me is the seed round at 10s of millions. I was amazed to find the YC puts in 150k to each start up. I think it was 6k per founder back in the day.

Apart from companies wanting to build battery storage, what do people do with 20M of seed funding?

I mean surely it is time to pivot to finding dozens of companies wanting to just be profitable and return a dividend. Fund enough (but like YC) and one or two will become unicorns just because?

How hard would it be to spin off a variant of this with more focused data models that cater to specific styles or art-types? Like say, a data model only for drawing animals. Or one only for creating new logos?

As I am accused of having no sense of ethics.

Evidence has always been hard to trust, we should have had a zero-trust society for a lot longer. But because of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect and our trust in the unreasonable effectiveness of journalism, we find the USA fighting wars disheveling millions over weapons of mass destruction that never existed.

Nothing has really changed, it only became easier to automate what was already there before.

Look at the ascii chart by bit pattern and the characters will suddenly make sense. Here’s an old chart from the 60s that explains it:

https://programesecure.com/ascii-values-table-generator-in-c...

Unfortunately if you just see the character codes with the decimal, hex, and octal next to them this logic is obscured. Remember, it had to be implementable in (mechanical!) hardware.
This is even true for something like medical devices. The FDA is really soft with startups and a pain in the ass once you grew some years.

And it makes sense. Let the small business experiment a bit, give them a bit leeway and once they grew to a certain size, expect that they think about the bigger picture. Which our dear monopolists only do in their favor.
The app might be able to detect the pattern generated by the fake data generator and refuse to work in that instance. E.g. apple's approximate location feature often puts you into the city center at a very specific location. It's trivial to detect devices that are always at that precise location and only move around in discrete steps between those points.

This can lead to an arms race where the OS creates increasingly advanced/realistic fake data, and apps get increasingly sophisticated logic.

So I'm not a fan of solving this the technical way. A policy is way better, but you need to be able to enforce it.
But the idea with a land value tax is you tax the value of the land, and not any property on it. So it's not just improvements added in a year, but any improvements residing on the property.

If the land is worth $100, and your house is worth $200-- it's worth $300 to you. But a LVT should just be taxing that $100.

It's thankfully not mandated by governments. However, often there is social pressure to obtain a given app. E.g. when a friend group is all on snapchat and they organize outings via the group chat. Do you want to be left out of that discussion and only be informed by one person from that group who forwards the decision when and where to go to you?
There have been exceptions to that reform though. For example the “stamp duty holiday” incentive ~two years ago removed marginal bands for the lower thresholds during its run. Which created a great deal of chaos for the housing market.
That's going to get interesting. What makes movies 'great' is not just the movie itself, but the shared experience of others having watched that same movie too. That gets lost when you start doing movies completely customized to the viewer.

And once AI is capable of replacing the "social experience" of movie viewing, humanity might not be far away from having rendered itself obsolete.
They will negotiate a proper time frame. It will take years till we see the benefits. The EU will charge them a smaller fine and give them some time with that. Not their first rodeo on both sides.

I can take an online course and start a job in SE in 6 months. Good luck doing that for another engineering field.

Cmon... it is definitely easier. It's easier to start, it's easier to develop. With many other engineering courses you need a HUGE base of knowledge to even start being useful. With SE you can start being useful almost from the get go in comparison.

Not saying it's not hard to master, because i believe it is. But comparatively, it is definitely easier. But tbh who cares? I've been doing mechanical engineering for years, and it's hard as hell, and what do I get from that difficulty? A pat on the back to feel good about how smart i am? Getting home tired because my brain is fried of thinking about complex stuff? At this point i'd rather have gone the easy way and take SE. We only have one life. Easy = Good.

> The one on the left looks great. The one on the right looks awful.

This is also just a mere assertion of "feelings", with nothing empirical and no data to back it up.

As long as those are the rules we're playing by, I'll say that to me, the design on the left screams "designed by a dev", in the pejorative sense, while the one on the right looks like it had a designer involved.

Whether there are actual usability improvements is an orthogonal issue, but I don't feel there's a huge gap between the two.

I feel a lot of this comes down to trends, rather than actual usability. Keeping up with the latest trends in UI design is a signal that you care enough about design and UX to employ and empower a designer/ design team.

Paradoxically, sometimes signalling you care about design might involve making the UX worse (relative to what the user base is trained on), if that's what the trends dictate. For example, the sudden overcompensated reaction against skeumorphism that was "flat design".

Just some of my feelings.

All the panic in this thread about allowing apps without Apple review would make one believe iOS has no technical app security/isolation/restriction mechanisms.

These will just have to become an even more of a first class citizen in the new world order. And will have to become even more trustworthy in the new much more adversarial ecosystem. :)
The main reason for the aforementioned browsers not using libcurl is mostly historical, as it simply didn't exist back when they were created. (The newest of them is links, first released in 1999 - and according to the curl website, the first libcurl release with a proper interface was in 2000.)

w3m even uses its own regex engine for search, because there was no free regex engine with Japanese support the author could've used back then.
>I agree in principle, but I worry that we end up in the situation where if you need to use a particular app, you can only get it from a third-party store that you don't trust. (Something gross like Facebook starting an app store.)

You have Android as a real world experiment, go ask an Android users to search the Facebook Messenger app on Google Play store and you will see it is there, FB did not forced Android users to install the app by side loading it and FB did not created their own app store for their apps.

What could happen though is you would get fair prices, say an app/Game would be 30% cheaper if you buy it directly from the developer and not from an intermediary, though I did not see this happening on PC (getting a better deal if I buy directly, I am wondering what causes this)
Oh I don’t have problems with DALL-E doing its thing, I just think it’s wrong if the purpose will be to cleanse off copyrights from images.
There's a command for doing the diagnosis goterm was used for here, it's called script(1).
I don't think it "just sucks". Functionality is there and it is very well integrated in its ecosystem. For what I use it every day, it works and has never crashed on me or let me down. I just wish the UI was more responsive, which is a specific concern that can and will be addressed by its developers.

That said, JS still has no place on the desktop in my opinion, and the world is full of Electron applications that have horrible performance. You can hack up an UI in bash too. But should you?

For products that _vertically_ suck, well, try Cisco WebEx.

Thank you for the lesson, though.

But I believe the mac mini doesn't have ECC Ram? I've had pretty bad experiences with non-ecc for database servers. It probably doesn't matter as much if you're only processing data where a bit flip isn't problematic or where data isn't stored aftewards (e.g. web server), but for data manipulation I wouldn't use non-ECC.
Is the RCA 1802 still produced, or do all these designs use old stock?
I can't say I'm that worried about it. I live in a part of the world with good food security, good energy security, and a lot of high ground.

Someone recently told me that I *should* be worried because climate change models predict things like temperatures of over 30°C in the summer and 120mph winds every winter, but since I was a child we've had summers just about that hot and 140mph winds every winter. A longer hotter growing season and a milder gale season does not sound like a downside.

I can relate. My previous role was at a company acquired by a large telecom, and like clockwork, two-three years after the whole thing is in disarray, only the terrible middle management remains, and most new people are juniors who have a hard time finding seniors that would mentor them.
So, it's like we, the good guys, can decide to extract and burn fossil fuels as long as we want, but once we say enough is enough, everybody else must also stop doing what we have been doing for ages.

So how does this work? Does someone ask DALL-E to generate images of pregnant dinosaurs with text (if asked for text, DALL-E is prone to generate nonsense words which however strangely fit the general tone of the image), and then writes a clever article about it?
Well the five blades with one on the handle thing was originally an onion article. Who knows.
It can be an extra layer of security. At some point in the future there will probably be another exploit in supervisors or hardware that can be used to spy on other tenants. With dedicated servers that becomes harder.

I've heard of large companies that require their own hosts. But then again, if you're big enough it really makes sense to build your private cloud anyway.
