I think time helps shape perspectives here.

It can be really hard to tell someone's career or life trajectory in the moment or even in 1, 2, or 5 years.

I'm 35 now so I have the benefit of hindsight looking back on the decisions different people my age have made and while I'd be the first to caution against potential bias in data I can say definitively that the people who were into FIRE or grindset or whatever before those terms even existed have ended up markedly worse off by their own definition of success than people who took more traditional routes.

There are exceptions, I know one person who made millions on cryptocurrency for example. But he's the one exception to the rule I can think of.

The rest ended up no better off than their peers who weren't out there posting every motivational quote on social media or eliminating their social lives to write and ebook about credit card reward points.

So was it worth it? I doubt it. The ROI seems to be negligible or even negative to me.

It turns out there was no shortcut to wealth and happiness after all.
Yes, that thread was trolling. The one you've responded to was not.

reminds me, in the mid 80s, of my friend and I who made a lot of gun powder when we were young, we pretty much got all the things we needed out of the encyclopedia. The potassium nitrate was easily available, in bulk, at the garden store, as well as Sulphur. We'd use lumps of charcoal on sandpaper and got a fantastically fine powder. We made various kinds of fireworks, then we started putting it in pipes and folding the ends over and we started getting "booms". We kept doing this until we made things that we started getting too scare to set off. We had quite a few close calls where pieces of shrapnel went wizzing by. We did this in my backyard, it was odd my parents were kind of ok with this (up until a point....) my dad who was a research physicist worked at a large scientific institute and must of talking to his friends at work about our adventures, and someone there gave him all these old chemicals, metals, and all kinds to take home. Things like magnesium which makes for great fireworks like things. Some iodine, which we turned into a super shock sensitive explosive (by mixing it with ammonia). Then there was a can of sodium pellets. Our experience with sodium had been what we had seen in class, you put a bit in water, and you get this pretty good fizz/fire reaction. Sort of was expecting this, these pellets were much bigger than anything we'd seen been put in water, so we just popped one in a bucket of water expecting a massive fizzing and buzzing around of the pellet..... but ..... nope, it did a bit of fizzing for half a second before it exploded sending burning sodium all over the back yard....luckily it didn't set anything on fire, but my parents weren't at impressed at this experiment and banned all further experiments. Now looking back on it, I just keep thinking... WHAT THE HELL WERE MY PARENTS THINKING?
In a similar vein, I also found a 1950's guide to a happy marriage that had been thoroughly annotated by the husband. He was so honest that it was like finding someone's therapy session notes at a thrift store. The inside cover had a pro-con table, with 'appearance' as the first entry in the con section. Inside the back cover was a game-plan that seemed to indicate that he wanted to strengthen his marriage, so I guess that's nice. I just hope that his wife didn't crack it open before it ended up in the donate pile.
Advanced RISC Machines Ltd was founded in 1991, but one of their parent companies (Acorn) had already shipped over 100,000 ARM-based desktop computers at that point.

The RISC-V ISA design was started in 2010. The ARM ISA design was started in 1983.
The actual impact is minor but the reduction in fragmentation potential is huge.
Yep. And the advantage of namespaces over a naming convention is that they can be enforced by the compiler and shortened with aliases.
In the movie, Jane Jetson even went out with a blue guy!

But I agree, "seek and you shall find" applies with ascribing whatever "racism" means today and that shit is unhealthy by any definition.
no i hate and abhor php i would rather get kicked by a donkey in the face.

but it taught me if else switch case, basics like that, not bad.

what made me change paths is it is tough to work with php and mysql given the amount of vulnerabilities back then.
This is 100% me if you substitute social media browsing with distro hopping and text editor tinkering. Now I understand why redditors decided to call that subreddit "unixporn".

My solution: Stick with Fedora and Visual Studio Code, because I've spent at least 100 hours in the past month checking out Neovim, getting my first init.lua to work, messing around with configurations, making telescope work, make telescope look good. Then switched to Arch, try bspwm, Gnome, KDE, fonts.

Meanwhile, my fellow junior colleague is flexing all over me his Docker knowledge, his experience in unit testing and CI/CD, and generally things people actually pay you for.
In astronomy, aren't they in some sense equivalent? Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years way, so we are seeing it as it was 2.5 million years in the past.
i have dabbled with web programming several times in the past, with a variety of frameworks (sinatra, rails, phoenix, fastapi, and now django). django is the first time i have felt truly productive - its architecture is the perfect balance between sinatra (doesn't do enough) and rails/phoenix (where i keep getting lost in a maze of generated code). also the orm really gets out of your way.
A few years ago, at Goodwill, I found a lovely 1930s copy of Eve Curie's biography of her mother Marie Curie. The book had been well-preserved in a homemade mylar jacket. In the flyleaf were two inscriptions: one a woman's name with "Dr", dated in the 1970s; the other dated in the early 2000s with another woman's name, also a doctor. When I flipped through the pages, a "Congrats grad" card fell out. Dr. A was Dr B's mother and had given her this book from her own library upon Dr B's graduation from med school.
With the example.cue at the root of the repository, it's hard not to see this as user facing CUE: https://github.com/acorn-io/acorn/blob/06478f1173bbd758ca0c0...

Having looked at the product more, I can see how people are getting confused. You expose CUE without saying it. As more people continue to adopt CUE, they will see the CUE in acornfiles. It's obvious to anyone familiar with the syntax.

There are several other issues with Acorn that seem to go the opposite way the market is going. I'll not relay them here because the other places we've conversed make it seem like you don't want any feedback critical of your product.
My parents have some book from early 1900s that was a great or great-great uncle's. It has a prescription for a treatment for a venereal disease.
I didn't say "power = speed", I said power is work over time, which is the actual definition and supports the rest of my post. You're the one redefining "power".

Again, I fully acknowledge this is nitpicky to the point of absurdity and we're arguing semantics. But if we're gonna argue semantics, then the definitional meaning of power is on my side.
I don't understand that clause as you mention it. What does "any game" mean in that context?
Exactly, Electron is complete garbage but they could have at least thrown the same effort into Teams as they did Visual Studio Code (which is probably about the best or perhaps only "good" Electron app I've seen).
A specialty area for me, maybe this helps.

A few differentiations to work on first:

- Rest time vs. hobby time: This is a big one to learn to differentiate. You can indulge in your interests during both, but only the latter is typically going to let you really dig into things at a hobby-progress level. If you don't understand this you can drive yourself crazy and convince yourself that you can't focus, you're bored and so on, when in fact maybe it's laying-down-phone-scrolling time or loud-music time or mumble-karaoke time while you relax in the hammock.

- Ephemeral interest-focus vs. long-term interest focus: Your focus will come with different scopes attached. If you are experiencing the former, never fight it, that's usually a mistake. Especially if you focused on work a lot today. Call it ADHD if you want, but ride the waves, do what sounds interesting _not_ for your whole life, but for the next minute or two. Focus on switching as many times as your body/mind need until you start to settle into something. It's normal for focus to drift while a new context is found.

- Emotional involvement vs. routine-sustaining: Hobbies are passion-focused, and therefore can benefit from emotional judgment tools. Let yourself choose options based on feelings/emotions. Always rank them in a list in liked-most order, as this is a simple form of emotional expression. Over time you should end up with a master list which will be super useful. Emotions change and need attention. Don't force a routine to form unless you know for sure why that's necessary.

- Experimental you vs. fixed-concept you: Ask yourself "what would make this moment better?" Music, interactivity, whatever.

For example last week I needed to put in some time on the exercise bike but it felt so boring. So I made a quick handlebar mount for my scanner radio, installed super tux kart on my phone and watched a live PIP metal concert while I raced using the gyro controls. I was laughing after a while because my feet pedaled way faster when I was behind in the race. Listening to various ambulance, fire, police, ham radio, and air attack calls at the same time, there was something different to move the attention to the whole time.

- Showing up vs. developing skills: It's cool to find yourself doing something fun, and that naturally happens sometimes. But techies also usually benefit from hobbies that allow skill development over time. As you practice new hobbies, ask yourself what different levels of skill look like. Try to develop a mental picture of where you can take this in the medium term (risky to mess with the long term with this stuff, be careful), and what sounds interesting.

I think you mean hold them liable; suing is just filing the lawsuit, and there's virtually no scrutiny. I could sue you because I don't like your username, but nobody would hold you liable for it.

To the point, that lawsuit would fail for the same reason as my hypothetical username one. You lack a cause of action. Ford has not committed a tort, therefore there is no harm to trace back to BoA.

You would have to demonstrate that Ford committed some kind of tort (intentionally designing a car to hit kids, or maybe being recklessly negligent in the design), and that BoA was aware of that tort (not that they could find out if they wanted, but that they actually knew).

I find the opposite crazy; that you can knowingly help someone commit a tort and get off free. Is a junkyard supposed to be able to buy catalytic converters knowing they were stolen? Is a fence supposed to be able to buy jewelry they know is stolen?

The tiger / housecat analogy is great for this context! Even if a tiger fit in the housecat's cage it could easily rip it apart, while a housecat could slip between the bars of a tiger's cage easily.
Seems likely that it would, our eyes have to do the same thing dealing with saccades, blind spots, inversions, distortion and more.
D1 is indeed the first mass-produced Linux-capable RISC-V SoC.

SiFive made something like 500 HiFive Unleashed boards and probably 2000-3000 HiFive Unmatched. They all used effectively prototype chips, made on MPW / Shuttle run.

When the D1 came out I heard the initial production batch was 2 million chips. As with the SoCs that go into Raspberry Pis, the SBCs are a side-line.
Ibkr gives me close to real time data for about $6 a month - I've not read the fine print closely but I'd be shocked if it is 15min stale. It's localized to certain exchanges but covers most bases. Ultimately any retail investor is unlikely to be able to capitalise on millisecond data without developing their own hft bots
I took an OS course in 2005. The professor told us we wouldn't have to consider certain classes of scheduler because "none of the real computers the university bought had 'dynamic resource allocation'". I asked what he meant by that, and he said "requests for additional (or free'ing) memory, file handles, and other non-compute resources". I asked which machines had such features, and he replied with something weird like "UNIVAXEN". It was a ridiculous course.
I don't understand your statement. Are they being propped up somehow?
This is what secondary indexes enable: if you have a sub-field of the document for price and you have a secondary index on that sub-field, you can do a covered query straight out of the index on an aggregate of that price field.

Essentially in your example you could think of the price table that you described as effectively a secondary index style data structure in a user space table.. but why not just make it an index that the database engine manages consistently for you?
Still a lot higher then not long ago...
That's energy, OP referred to power, which normally means generated power in these discussions. All of the fossil energy is oil, none is coal, and I believe that's all used in transportation and a tiny bit of heating in the hinterlands.

I wonder how the flying in and out is accounted for in these sorts of figures, if hydrocarbons are ever replaced in aviation it will be dead last after everything else.
Non-ASCII language support is good.
Poop emojis and smileys? No thanks.
There's nothing precluding F/LOSS from being commercialized. That's a common misunderstanding. The F/L stands for freedom, after all.

There are many ways that can be done, and authors are free to pick whichever business model works for them, depending on the type of software.

If it's a web service, build a commercial SaaS around it, and make sure that you're the first and best option for users.

If it's a desktop app, offer commercial extensions that enhance the core product. Or serve binaries behind a pay-what-you-wish paywall.

If neither of those are a good fit, premium support, merchandise and ultimately donations might be an option.
Define "successful".
My secret for success, you ask?

I get up at 2AM, with a smile. Then do 7 hours of running after which I have my usual 3 racks of eggs for breakfast, whilst I speed read 3 books. I'm fluent in one language: the language of success, which I generously share to willing students on LinkedIn.

A thread (1/74)...
New open source project: Common Lisp 3D graphics system
Calling all those interested in being a part of this.
Terminals are GUI apps. In theory there could be a protocol for telling the terminal everything it needs to know for accessibility, and then convincing all terminal emulators to actually implement this, but it sounds like a nightmare.
Not great, but I think it is an acquired taste. TRAMP makes it _feel_ as if you are working locally, with some caveats. I like the fact that I can use dired to quickly navigate my projects on the cluster, open a vterm session and run my scripts, open my python files and save which automatically syncs them in the remote; magit works seamlessly (with a slight lag). What I wish is for better LSP support (lsp-mode/Eglot) for remote development - its kind of a miss for me. lsp-mode straight up does not work, and Eglot keeps me waiting until it can connect, leading to decreased editing experience. I have kind of given up on LSP for remote, nowadays I just use dumb-jump for quick navigation and local editing for more serious development.
doesn't matter if LPs get scared
The most popular export from the Moon and Mars will be information. Just basic live streams from daily activities with monthly subscriptions would probably be quite popular.
Interesting idea. If a person sits down and writes a bunch of essays, that usually leads to improved language skills. Maybe hallucinating additional training data could be something somewhat similar for transformer networks.
There's always a trade off. You are willing to do more low level work "manually" assembling container images your way with apko. You are also willing to accept Alpine randomly exploding in your face :) Different people have different preferences in terms of what risks they will take. For example, I wouldn't use Alpine even if somebody paid me money to use it :) That's because Alpine is not a standard Linux distro and you need to be able to "own" it with all of it's gotchas and incompatibilities. Not everybody is capable of doing that. I know I'm not that good :-) In other cases people can't change their base images.

> The police can and absolutely do arrest, intimidate, harass, and violently assault people for unspecified, fabricated or utterly bullshit reasons

I was going to include a sentence on police corruption in the original response but decided to leave it out. Yes, that happens, far more often than it ever should. But an important point is that it is corruption. It is not how the system is supposed to work. It's not much consolation to the victims of said corruption, but it is an important distinction in how society is built. Given that it is corruption it's at least possible to fight it. Maybe not personally (unless you're rich) but via organizations such as the ACLU and (some of) the press.

Sure, but this set of observations is actually much more explainable by: people are uncomfortable with China either pushing or pulling data directly to/from Americans. This set of observations is not very explainable by "we didn't know China can 'do tech,' now we know, and now we don't like it."

Ok, I must take a step back. I have only my personal feeling to back the claim. And that doesn't mean much, considering the fact that I barely ever used TikTok.

So you might be right. My kids (6 and 8) told me a couple of times about life hacks that they saw on YouTube. And that's the only place they visit online, even that being restricted to less than an hour a day on average.

So yeah, new generations might be using that content a bit differently from what I thought.

If true, that is great news.
It's pretty common to write terminal apps so that if they are connected to a pipe, they use raw text that is very parsable, and if they are hooked up to a tty, they present a user experience that is much more human friendly. There is great value to both modes of operation.
The same way you price any other service: aggregate the costs of your dependencies, forecasting for eventual customer usage over 5 years, and charge for an expected 30% profit margin.
