First of all: I know this feeling really well. Get help from a professional when you have no family/friends you can talk to.

Second. You are not happy with your job. Fair enough. But that’s a common problem with young people. You don’t need to be happy with your job. You don’t need like your job. You likely not find a job which makes you happy. That’s a dream you get told every day by social media and ads which is just not true.

Third, your game:
I just quit my job and tried for one year to a write just a game. I had a lot of time. My initial motivation was great. I thought to myself. I want to make a great game… But then. It all repeatet and I lost control about my life and how I want to live it. It’s like a deep hole. I’m also not depressed in the “classic” way you see on television. It’s more like you don’t see a perspective. A goal. Because every day you hear: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. FIND YOUR DREAM JOB. And think: why are all so happy with there jobs.

I accepted that your job doesn’t need to make you happy. It’s ok to just earn money. It’s ok not to have this one idea that everybody loves. That’s not how the world works.

I work now 40hours as employee, 30 hours self employed and Ifound my goal: get money. Money to invest in something you love or invest in your hobby. Save it for later to build up your own company. Or what ever.

I was finally seeing when I found my love and my child spawned in our world.

I work harder then ever and hope someday we have enough money to retire without fearing to get poor.

Of course everybody sees this differently and have different experiences.

And the last:
Be honest with your self and don’t lie to yourself. And be yourself. Get sober. No drugs. ADHD is not reason to be unhappy.
> If you have no problem with that then why should you have a problem banning ads against guns?

Are you really asking "if you want to ban advertising murder weapons, why should you have a problem banning adverts telling people not to murder"?

In this case, of course, Hulu have the right to carry any adverts they like. It turns out, they don't want adverts for either side of the argument, as is their right.

If Hulu decided that they wanted to ban adverts for guns, and promote the hell out of adverts for psychiatric services for people who want to own guns so they can get the mental health treatment they clearly need, then that is also something they have a right to do.
> I have to wonder if they allowed one (pro-choice) they would be in hot water if they blocked the other (anti abortion)?

I don't believe so, unless they are selling that one below market rates (which makes it an in-kind contribution). I'm guessing this is more about "let's not take a side" than any legal requirement.
In an ideal world, people would also be introduced to things they are interested in. I don't think people ONLY want to pull info.

Do you figure what you want to watch and then open Netflix? Sometimes. People also open Netflix and see what is available before deciding.

In fact, even determining what to watch then opening the streaming service relies on having a concept of what streaming services have been marketed to you.
Apparently I am upper middle class?? Lol, is this in 2007 dollars? I need to save at least for five years dilligently to afford a house.
"In my anecdotal experience in NYC+NYS the vast majority of buyers are investors, not homeowners"

I feel like we'd have non-anecdotal evidence about this somewhere. Nationwide, the number of investor buyers is 15%. Foreigners, the other boogeyman is below 5%
> There is no debating that that big strike was outside the model.

Yes it is. That means the model is wrong. Hopefully JWST doesn't devolve into a micrometeorite detector. That instrument could have been built and operated at far lower cost and one wonders if that shouldn't have been done beforehand.
Had the exact-same experience in a previous role: pressured to rush to release to meet a(n arbitrary) sprint deadline and then - the deadline not met - the work left unreleased. Super frustrating and almost caused me to quit at the time.
>Building a good marketplace is also no small feat.

Nope, but it's lavishly overcompensated and starved of competition for the markets who manage to get the network effect going.

There is no really effective regulation to ameliorate this effect either.

Wouldnt need much though. If, say, e.g. airbnb simply werent able to enforce parts of their ToS around scraping/contacting users then it would make the market vastly less dysfunctional.

That was always my impression, you're writing the AST directly, then manipulating it with fancy macros.
I agree you could make a reasonable case that the allied bombing campaign on Dresden at al should have been war crimes, but the fact is they were not, and nobody at the time had any expectation that they could or would be. There would have been no legal basis, even a flimsy one, for prosecuting them as such.
You don't perhaps have a nutrient deficiency? In my case it was an iron deficiency that crept up on me and made me lethargic for months before I got checked out by a GP.

I think depending on your diet, low iron, protein, salt and/or B vitamins intake can exacerbate the lethargic/burnout/lack-of-motivation funk you're in. Also just being constantly dehydrated ain't great.

Of course being unhappy at work is a massive deal and will impact all other parts of your life as well - but others have made suggestions around finding a new job. I just wanted to make mention of the nutrients stuff as a CTRL + F brought nothing up.
A lot of our capabilities is simply being present (overseas bases) and being able to move to a theater of war (logistics).

We are unlikely to ever fight a meaningful war with either Canada or Mexico, at least there are no signs of that ever being a possibility in my lifetime. Our adversaries are pretty much all overseas, and I’m pretty sure the Coast Guard could single-handedly defend against the threat posed by a possible Cuban invasion.

So we have to spend on logistics and overseas bases and support infrastructure for those bases, in addition to our nuclear arsenal, satellites, the War against rust, communications technology, aircraft carriers, aircraft, submarines and artillery and all manner of other things which are intended to keep us in the lead in terms of capabilities, effectiveness and deadliness.
Never mind ssh(1), ls(1) pretty much uses all of [A-Za-z] as its options plus -1, but still no -0 option. What I'm personally really looking forward for is -2 option, whatever it would do.

The biggest, most helpful shift in perspective that ever happened to me was this: external circumstances are generally downstream from your inner life, rather than upstream. You don't feel crappy and unmotivated because of how work/productivity/side projects are going. Rather, the state of your professional life is a reflection of your psyche at this point in time.

As a result, I wouldn't overthink the details of work/side game etc. right now. You need to understand and treat the underlying psychological problem that's making it hard to function. None of us can really speculate about that, so I'd recommend finding a therapist and/or psychiatrist you feel you can trust. Start thinking about what's happening to you in terms of symptoms and feelings, rather than to do lists and motivation. This is not something you're doing because you're weak or lazy, it's something that's happening to you, either because of your early life or because of your brain. The more pressure you put on yourself to "get out of a rut" through determination or reconfiguring your professional life, the deeper the rut will get.

Good luck! I hope you get the care you need soon, and that you can feel better. Once you do, the rest of life will sort itself out with no trouble.
I still think that CUE/other configuration languages are too complex for most developers. Once you're adding language-like features (inheritance, schema validation, or control flow), you're better off using a general purpose language like Typescript.

Pulumi might be moving away from pure Typescript constructs because it's difficult to compete against something like AWS CDK, which will always be better because (1) it's specific to one provider and (2) is a first-class citizen.

My experience with marketing comes from games. In games, if you show marketing a new game they'll tell you it won't sell. They only want clones of the last hit. Where-as, IMO, their job is to get people to want your new game, not to ride off the coattails of the popularity of a previous game.

This one thing I've always admired about Nintendo. AFAIK (totally my imagination), the game dev team makes whatever they want and then they tell marketing "YOU WILL MARKET THIS AND MAKE IT A HIT!"

Examples might be Splatoon, Animal Crossing, maybe Smash Brothers, Pikman,

Where as I've been at plenty of companies where marketing effectively says "This is not a Call of Duty/GTA clone therefore it won't sell, therefore we will not waste time marketing it".
Whilst I sympathize with your point, if there's no both sides, no one would be advertising.
Are they? I always thought of doctors and lawyers as the upper class. The people you’re likely to meet in country clubs and on the golf course, or who might run for political office (and actually win).
Yeah that one I am a bit more unclear on.

But do republicans run ads trying to say climate change isn't real? Or do they just ignore the topic all together?

I legitimately don't know.

While I agree there shouldn't be 2 sides to this issue, the unfortunate reality is there very much is or we would not be in this mess right now.

We should reiterate that this is a discussion about the outcome of nuclear fusion, which if scaled up, would be poised to greatly disrupt CO2 emissions. This means that the imminent concern in the capacity of sustainability (exacerbation of climate change) is largely addressed, save for the carbon capture / cooling aspect we will want.

We're depleting resources, and we're also still growing. If we're scrutinizing a future with a non-growing population, it makes no sense to assume the same level of depletion. It's a function of demand. Much of new land encroachment isn't for any novel products, it's to increase the output of meat production to satisfy demand (in South America at least, in the U.S. that land-use has not been growing).

This also doesn't take into account technological innovation.

> This factor is much more powerful than population growth.

The rich are too few in number and they're primarily rich by virtue of everyone else's consumption. Notwithstanding that their own practices can be very damaging, it doesn't meet that scale.

> It is more the cause of the problem by enabling us to do always more and more, with our clumsy, human ways and therefore disrupting nature always more and more.

This is purely philosophical. There's no evidence that a zero-carbon world with improved energy efficiency would necessarily lead to environmental destruction.
Agreed and support your view. It just explains the explosion of choices.
I think there are procedures for removing sperm directly from the testicles, yeah. So potentially there are other options if reversal fails.

You start by using insulting language and talking about hybrid vehicles which do not offer the same fuel savings as EVs, do not have the mechanical simplicity and elegance of EVs, and thus do not have the lower maintenance costs of EVs, as well as having a significantly shorter expected lifetime, while also supporting intransigent auto makers and stinking.

Then you agree with me by saying that upcoming EVs will be cheaper than ICE cars. (I think we can agree that in the context what is meant is a cheaper TCO).

And $10k is a very conservative number which doesn’t even account for a lot of benefits, from safety, to externalities like pollution emitted by a hybrid or other ICE car, to the probable much longer lifetime of an EV relative to an ICE car, as well as being able to look at yourself in the mirror.

Also your choice of a Corolla for comparison is surprising. We should compare prices of cars with similar features, not low end cars against high end cars. This pretty much invalidates your comparison which claims a $20k price difference.

And even if you still believe what you think, one way to look at it is that we are all going to be paying for climate change one way or another. If we pay a little up front to save on gas, maintenance, safety, fun, reducing pollution, and supporting companies that give a shit, we will reap even more benefits later.
Yes, this is called electrochemical cleaning. If you don't do that then the weld will be more vulnerable to oxidization because the protective layer that forms on stainless steel will be damaged and upset by the welding process leaving some of the iron in the steel directly exposed to the environment. This then can cause pitting of the surface, which is the beginning of the end.

For such a process to be effective it has to be done immediately after welding. You can use it to try to repair something that is already rust damaged but in my experience the gain from that is mostly a stay of execution, not a perfect solution.
Only thing I would add is get a partner if you don't have one already. Life is incredibly lonely to go through alone. I've heard that you can be happy alone for long periods, but I have never seen it in practice.

Ask HN: Are your Amazon shipments ALL delayed a week?
Has anyone else had all their Amazon shipments mysteriously delayed a week with all shipments scheduled to be delivered on the same day in the future?

We received none of our expected deliveries for the past two days. We then saw that the expected deliveries and any new orders are now scheduled to be delivered next Saturday.

Is there a logistic issue happening at Amazon we are unaware of?

Your job as an engineer, broadly, is to bring order to the disordered. You only rarely have enough time to fully understand the problem before trying to solve it.

The real, fundamental mistake being danced around here is the failure to recognize the inherent tension between product and engineering.

Stop fighting, start harmonizing. Understand how you fit into the bigger picture, and “deadlines” vs. “complexity” will start to make more sense.

It’s obvious that you aren’t going to make money off of nothing, so you have to build something, and it’s obvious you can’t build something out of thin air, so figure out how to build small, specific things that people will pay for.

I know this is definitely true of older engines that aren't controlled by fancy software, but I suspect at least many consumer cars are capable of adjusting to the difference. I could be wildly wrong here though, and wouldn't want to test it myself.

As with the vast majority of consumer preferences it is a combination of:

1. Not being introduced to the breadth of options that are available

2. Being told, or else insinuated to, that certain options represent higher status or achievement than others

Americans want small detached houses because the ubiquity of the social construct known as "the American dream" drilled it into everyone's heads from the postwar period onward. Sitcoms through the television era both represented and reinforced this ideal. But choices can be unmade as easily as they are made.

How to Make a Decision When There’s No ‘Right’ One
You almost had it. The US spend a good portion of the defense budget propping up NATO which is why European countries can get by with spending less. Love him or hate him, what Trump was trying to do in getting NATO to pull its fair share in defense spending was a good idea. Sure the US could spend waaay less and still ensure it won't get invaded (they'd have to come by sea or from Canada or Mexico). But Europe would piecemeal become part of a new Russian or Chinese Union.
I moved to NYC earlier this year, and particulate matter from roads and cars was a serious concern.

I did significant research into relative pollutants and health outcomes in NYC, and found almost zero correlation. Lung cancer was a particular concern, but it seems occurrences aren't higher in the city by any statistically significant amount. I found that to be strange; cars are everywhere in the city and most individuals live within a dozen meters of a heavily trafficked road.

If anyone has competing evidence, I'd love to read it.
Public domain isn't a license of a copyrighted work, it's you denying that your copyright exists at all. This isn't legally valid in some countries like Germany, but if you did it anyway they're not going to send gestapo to stop you.

Corporations with lawyers up their ass aren't going to like something ostensibly put into the public domain by a German who technically can't do that, but lawyers don't like the WTFPL either, so it makes little difference.
Short term speculation taxes would also help immensely - increase the taxes you'll owe on a sale of a property held for a short period in some graduated manner. This, coupled with a vacancy tax, should force more properties into productive hands.

the hard thing about TAI is that it’s not properly supported in DBMS, RFC 3339/ISO 8601, etc… This makes it hard to use. It’s actually easier to use MJD represented as a double.

That's true, but you could also just work the 500k job for 5 years and then possibly (semi) retire. 2.5 million before taxes is a pretty nice chunk to have before your late 20s. It's just delayed gratification.

> Well coordinated timekeeping across devices that may not always be able to transfer data is far, far more important.

How do you have a well coordinated clock without being able to get four bits [1] per year of leap second data? It's hard to keep within one second of a time standard over 6 months or a year without communication.

[1] bit 0: was there a leap second in the most recent period, bit 1: was it positive or negative; bit 2: will there be a leap second at the end of the current period, bit 3: will it be positive or negative. Bike shed my fictious encoding if you like, but it's good enough. Use a whole 8-bits, go wild.
The stated reason seems self-refuting within its own text. The quoted section of CC0 doesn't "preclude any form of patent licensing or patent forbearance". It just makes clear that CC0 is silent on those issues, allowing other documents/tradtions to govern.

If instead the real reason is Fedora wants all licenses to include explicit "patent licensing or patent forbearance", that's different than the rationale excerpted by LWN here.

Tell HN: PayPal Charges 10.57% in Fee (USD-INR)
For a user payment of USD282.89, we have received an INR 19,973.10

We have multiple payment gateways on our platform

1. PayPal - Accepts most cards. But hefty 10.57% in FEE

2. Stripe - Often reject INR Transactions as INR payments require 3D authentication

3. RazorPay - Disabled international transactions for 6 months. Forced to link PayPal on Day 1.

RazorPay comparatively takes less transaction fee that the other 2. But they don't allow international transactions in the first 6 months.

Any suggestions of good payment gateways, for Indian registered company, for International Transactions?

Because they are lazy and are not aware of the prior work.

Already decades ago many have proposed to use only TAI internally in computers, instead of UTC, which is not a time.

UTC should have always been used only to compute the local times, together with the time zones, only for human interfaces.

There have been for decades libraries for using TAI instead of UTC, and even versions of Linux or *BSD kernels patched to do time keeping in TAI, not in UTC, eliminating all problems with the leap seconds.

Unfortunately the use of TAI has remained a niche, but that was the right solution.
I need someone to explain to me why International Atomic Time = TAI but not IAT
