In Brazil, where I am from, the big achievement that warranted a celebration used to be graduating from university (I guess you call it college in the US). For many families the celebration was also the gift — those things don't come cheap.

But in the last 30 years or so, I have noticed that many now celebrate completing high school, completing primary school, or even completing kindergarten (!) — and not just something symbolic or small, but big events.

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but this rubs me off in the wrong way: I also believe that these "achievements" are things that you are simply expected to do. Congratulations and positive reinforcement are always welcome, but when there is an expectation of a reward then to me it crossed the line into something unhealthy.
> you should be using token based authentication be they dongles or phone and PC's secure elements.

Phone? Really? I regard my smartphone as the least-secure piece of computing equipment in my posession. I certainly don't trust it to secure anything. A phone isn't a token; it happens to be "something you own", so some sites treat a phone as if it were a security token. This is a problem I encounter mainly on UK government sites (sites that I more-or-less have to use). These sites don't offer support for alternative hardware "tokens", nor for people who don't own a smartphone.
You could try looking into small companies. They might be paying less, but there might be 0 interviews, low stress and fun. I don’t know which country you are from but here in Lithuania there are many options and we are country of less than 3 millions.
I think it's a strategy, as per the 2 quotes I also provided by Edward Bernais from 1930 - it's not even a new strategy! Bernays is the father of public relations, he got women smoking, gave us egg and bacon for breakfast, initiated throwaway culture via advertising, etc - he helped shape the culture we find. This was by design, as he says.

You should read some of his other quotes - it's all very conspiratorial before that was even a term: https://libquotes.com/edward-bernays/works/propaganda

Here's a good one:

> The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.

Edward Bernays

Obviously, it's not a strategy that will be much discussed, as its such an unappealing prospect. But the situation we find makes far greater sense as a conspiracy than companies merely stupid (which I agree is a part).
If your regulated replacement is unaffordable for poor people (which are majority in the society), they will vote for populists, who will build their raise to power on cancelation of such regulations. That's the reason why aggressive green policies will not propel us forward, but will eventually implode under social pressure.
You're comparing total energy for France to only electricity production for Germany.

The graph for France includes heating, cars, etc... You can see the electricity production here: https://ourworldindata.org/energy/country/france#what-source...
Do sub-10kt nukes really involve any fusion at all?

I have read of spiking conventional fission warheads with a core of fusible material to boost yield, but maximizing yield does not seem to be the goal of these devices.
Ahh... the hubris of modernity's overconsumption. Books, oil, people, food, structures, travelling without moving... We produced and consumed to the point where the world was no longer enough.

'Tis a shame it cost us our civilisation.
Hey, are you hiring worldwide?
Unless the person uses t-mobile, which puts a lot of people on very small IP blocks, which is such a huge logistical nightmare for enforcing bans. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32038215
You have to be careful about that, not everyone hands out /64. They can be as small as /128 and I've seen some providers give out as large as /48.
That's kind of the point, though. It's enough of an issue that the only way to really rectify it is to put charging stations on every sidewalk. If that's the way we go, fair enough, but it's still inaccurate to call a BEV and ICEV equivalent when solutions like this are required for a BEV to mimic certain functionality of an ICEV. BEVs certainly have their advantages, but they're not equivalent to ICEVs -- they're a different product that can meet the needs of certain (large) segments of the market, but they can't replicate the full functionality of a regular vehicle just yet.
Probably depends on the EU country as well. In some places it's usually Hilti or Wurth.
> How many humans browse internet with IPv6 only devices?

If you browse the net on your phone, it's likely you already do or sit behind some kludged up NAT situation which - among other things - severly curtails your freedom to interact with other devices on the internet.

And things aren't going to improve in that regard given the shortage of V4 addies.
Great news. My 7yo son just got a tick bite while on holiday in Finland, with the tell tale bullseye ring around it appearing in a few days around the itchy bite area. We never saw the tick, would have missed it if not for the skin symptoms.

Fortunately early course of antibiotics has an extremely good success rate against the bacteria - but if it’s undetected it’s much less effective when you get more serious symptoms months later.

Ticks spreading borreliosis are a very common in Northern Europe, you can protect yourself with clothing and thorough check every time you’ve been in long grass or forested areas - but some bites still go unnoticed, this vaccine is fantastic news
This is where the UK is great. It has lots of well connected by train towns. You can commute for a night out in London but live a generally quiet life in anything from a tiny hamlet to something like Cambridge which is a small city.
I accidentally just reasoned about kettle for another comment, but removed that part again.

First, TIL: Since in the US the mains voltage is 120V, kettle there have less power (or would trip the circuit protection/burn out old sockets) than our 240V kettles (Amazon offers plenty 2200W units, might be a legal limit). It's obvious, but I totally forgot to consider this.

Anyway, the main failures to expect from a kettle is a failing heating element or leaky sealing. Both can be avoided by using induction. But with induction stoves becoming the norm for new kitchens (at least around here), all you need is a suitable, passive kettle instead of the kettle+base. Plus a 3.7kW induction field will be faster to boil water than something that plugs into a 240V/16A socket.

Only reason to go with a standalone kettle appliance are "smart" kettles with more precise temperature control (some teas should be prepared at specific temperatures).

TL;Dr: Upgrade to an inductive stove, get a passive kettle for it, be happy :)
Seems like you’re experiencing burn-out and from what I’ve read and experienced, burn out is a function of emotional investment vs the emotional return.

So I see that you have two options both of which shouldn’t happen before first taking a small break:
1. Continue to work in the industry and reduce your emotional investment. Hint: great places for that are big corporates.
2. Continue to work while upskilling in another field or your current field depending on what you prefer.

Depression often comes with the temptation to catastrophise the situation, avoid that urge. Seek out others who can be objective and talk you through it, be prepared to hear their answers.

I started out front-end, did a lot of my own side projects to get backend stuff. PHP is pretty good despite the hate because not many people want to do it these days but a legit and easy way to get some backend experience.
I wonder if HN's single threaded nature has anything to do with it. Eight cores or 16 threads don't do much good when your bespoke Arc Lisp stack is single core limited.
That's a pretty hostile take? He's not saying chabuduo as some mythical, uniquely Chinese characteristic, and specifically calls out the migrant worker situation as leading directly to chabuduo.

While wild income gaps definitely generate chabuduo in any developing country, as anyone who's seen electrical work in Thailand ("mai pen rai!") or road construction in India ("jugaad!") can attest, the uniquely Chinese spin is the hukuo system: those migrant workers are indeed "trapped", without any realistic possibility of ever graduating into a bona fide resident of Beijing or Shanghai, no matter how good their skills are.
1. Try to take 6m to a year off
2. Think of way to leverage your skillset to your advantage in a non 9-5 capacity
3. If its still repulsive, go on indeed and just start browsing with very little criteria to see what interests you and just start applying, you would be surprised how advantageous being a tech worker can be in other seemingly non-related industries. I know a guy who use to be a nurse, he is now a charter boat captain. Another that was a F1 Race mechanic that now works in Solar... Having design say, ability to think critically, to plan out and wire frame something up, are all transferrable!

Good luck
Machine translation has been a curse for those who enjoy content that's not usually promptly translated and instead sits there for years if not decades. Not uncommon are people asking in broken English how to use certain tools e.g. automated DeepL scripts and releasing their "translations" (or edited machine translations, changing just some of most glaring issues with the text, generally), thus "burning" a release, that is not going to be taken by real translators that require weeks, months of draining work to complete so that context, subtlety and most meaning from the original source is not lost.

It's a race to the bottom. It doesn't sound nice to say, but as things become more accessible it's harder and harder to filter out genuine content from look-alikes, asset flips and low-effort automations, this may be unfamiliar to anybody looking at Steam releases for example. I wonder how it'll turn out for artwork. I want to be optimistic and think of it as an additional tool to artists or people that want to create new things rather than a displacement wave with its significantly smaller costs.
It’s 2022, and Teslas still aren’t stopping for children
It's more difficult to trademark stuff like style, there are certain rules of what can be trademarked; long story short, non-graphical representations need to be clear, precise, self-contained, easily accessible, intelligible, durable and objective.

Trademark also gives a more limited protection in some ways.
I never understood why TextEdit just doesn’t silently exit and open all the unsaved windows the next time. I thought that was the point if this whole feature? (That’s exactly how Sublime Text implements it and I love it. I use a lot of unsaved scratch buffers for temporary notes).

It feels like the worst of both worlds…
"Worthless" and "unhelpful in this situation" are not the same thing.
I want to do something similar. Do you want to connect?
Using your SIM card for MFA when logging in to an SSH server
I recently wrote this tutorial to add an extra factor of authentication when logging in to an SSH server, using tru.ID's PhoneCheck, which uses your SIM card and an active data connection to the mobile network operator. Let me know what you think?
Not really sure what to respond. Should people in the US not be free to move to any town they want? Seems like an odd take IMO.
True..I observed this in my company , many times..Thank you for sharing your views.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. If you're talking about the `Generate` function in Go, if a symbol begins with a capital letter, it's exported/public and private otherwise.
If you learn painting by copying other painters then paint a new painting, copyright infringement?

Unfortunately many small artists making a living by designing logos will dissappear with this technology.
Sounds to me like you are actually a competent developer with relevant knowledge and that the problem lies elsewhere.

As you've mentioned in the title, you're depressed.

Go and see a therapist and if you can, take a break from work.
AlphaSales – With You on the Battleground
To all salesmen,

We took part in the Y Combinator Startup School this summer, and after their recommendations we are now doing a soft launch - take a look at our website and stay in touch if you think what we are building is for you. Below is our ‘why’.

Sales meetings can be overwhelming, especially if you are involved in complex or scientific sales requiring deep product knowledge. Even more so, if you are doing business development - identifying target market segments, looking for first users, best conferences to attend, designing the sales process, etc. Plenty of questions to ask and information to carry in your head. Add to this many meetings one after another every day and/or meetings in different time zones and you can quickly end up swamped.

To address this challenge, we are building a digital notebook with personal assistance aimed towards sales and business development professionals. Fresh CEOs, founders, and people delegated to do sales in young startups and without prior experience in selling will find it very useful too. First, you will be able to to take quick notes, without missing a critical detail, and without compromising the social aspect of the meeting. Second, if you get stuck or are not sure how or what to ask (next), it will guide you. Finally, crucial information such as on the product or competitors will be available at a click of a button. That's just to start with - automatic email generator, useful statistics and customer insights, and more will come later too.

If the above resonates with you - do stay in touch. You can sign up to our newsletter here: www.alphasales.ai or just drop me an email: michal@alphasales.ai

Pura vida!
Michal
The first point-release for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is now available
True..this should be done..Thanks for sharing your view.
> No amount of destroyed art

Let's hope the art can survive the 4C warming then.

The "no change, cheapest option only" view has long term consequences which will also be bad for people. This is why "red-green" politics is such a common match: there will be costs, but we need to ensure they are borne by people who can afford them.
If you're debugging as the same user that makes sense because the debugger is supervising the code. (the debugger can't for example halt other processes besides the code it's supervising). But how can some other random process even with the same user just inject itself into running compiled code without somehow having the ability to rewrite memory? [edit: memory that has already been allocated by the kernel for the thread it's trying to interfere with]
Sure..will check them..Thanks for sharing your view..
Well this article seems to be about the opposite of that, less precise than necessary or slightly outside of tolerance range!
link to rumor?
This is not higher-order thinking (insofar as such exists). The search tree is first-order -- in a sufficiently complex game that the search tree cannot be fully examined, the heuristics necessary to perform at a high level without the need to explore the search tree are the second order. The third order is left as an exercise to the reader.
Definitely agree with others that it sounds like burnout. I went through it myself about a year ago, and wrote about it recently [1]. Maybe it will help.

FWIW Miele refrigeration products are made by Liebherr and many are rebadged for Miele. You might be able to find an equivalent Liebherr product and save money by buying the Liebherr part instead.
Absolutely not the same thing. Chabuduo is often disregarding the question or requirement and doing whatever they were going to do anyway.
thanks you, sometimes i feel like getting laid off might be a good outcome for me, so i could do this. i haven't had more than 1 month off in 15 years.
I suggest you post some screenshots, I'm interested in this but I'm not sure I feel like trying it before I see what it looks like.
I've seen others discuss burn-out. It does sound a bit like you're in this boat. I have been a developer for a similar amount of time as you and I am around the same age as you. Yes there is an ever increasing number of applicants at roles, but reply anyway. The majority of these 300+ are discarded for various reasons.

During the pandemic I altered my career slightly, I went into Developer Relations. I still write code, but I also do so many other things. However, if you are suffering burn-out, moving into different roles/careers could further worsen the burn-out.

Personally, I'd take a step back and if you haven't already start introducing a very strict work-life balance. Work 9-5 and no other, take up a hobby that gets you doing something completely unrelated. If you're in a better state mentally, then you would be able to see your work life in a clearer healthier manner.
They're not usually direct cash subsidies, but favourable capital tax treatment, e.g. https://news.sky.com/story/climate-change-uk-government-oil-...
> Did you think about a kickstarter

Honestly, I could not think of anything that would make me miserable more than battling up from ground level in this kind of market, using my few personal savings as collateral. Kind of the same reason I don't intend to get into politics.

Yes, I'm giving up on a chance to make something better, but I won't make anything better from an early grave.

I'm content to work for a company that I think is making good products. I have never worked for a company making cheap crap, and I hope I never will.
The whole article can be summed up to :

1. Think of something
2. Return to that thought from time to time
3. Repeat
> China has an explicit No First Use policy.

China's "policies" last as long as their dictator cares to keep them. At the first sign of change that policy will disappear as well.

Also it's a clear lie as in a fictional world where China mainland was invaded and China was losing the war, it's rather absurd to think they would just sit on their nuclear weapons and not use them.

The US also wouldn't use them in a first strike, but drawdowns have to happen on both sides.

> You might say that China has a secret huge arsenal. The US might have comparable things!

The US cannot. That's the entire point of international inspections. China would have to allow US inspections of their arsenal like is done to the US.
yes, you're right, i have some health issues recently, which compounded things a bit.
Are there not subsidies for Solar?
I feel you... Web development is geared towards the "next hot thing" and can be very exhausting. Could it be an option to change your career path into a more management type role? Are you good with people? You might be a great mentor for junior devs?
Newsflash: Those "unread books" are still as "valuable" if they aren't in your library yet because you can always acquire them later when you actually want to read them.

That means that the smart thing to do is buy them as you read them, and not hoard them.
If they're suffering from some form of burn-out or are in a bad way mentally right now, going to a smaller company can make it a lot worse. Smaller companies tend to expect you to wear multiple hats, lots of context switching. It can worsen the situation for them.
> normal folks will just label them as deranged ecoterrorists

The press chooses the labelling, depending on who they support. We can see this with things like the Canadian trucker convoy who are "terrorists" or "freedom fighters" depending on which media you consume.
It's really more like a "reverse" deja vu. It was my first time traveling overseas and experiencing a very different culture. Tel Aviv was also my first time living in a "major world metropolis". Many of the sites, sounds, smells, and people made a very strong impression (the mangos were just amazing). Tel Aviv's vaguely similar to a more edgy Miami with less mansions and more falafel.

Israel overall has a fascinating mix of different cultures from east and west (with no small amount of tension at times). Many of my assumptions about the world were shattered and your sense of history changes (for an American at least). I had an Austrian roommate and a Palestinian neighbor in the dorms. If you visit, definitely try to get off the beaten path, visit a Kibbutz, goto a Shabbat dinner, etc. Try and visit Jordan too!

Israeli's are generally a passionate lively people, but also serious and pragmatic. They can be... prickly too. It makes sense how Israel has so many startups and technology per capita -- lots of smart motivated people paired with discipline gained from IDF service.
Same here.

I can see how having Echo's build-ins be a benefit if you have a pretty big applications with rich API and quite a few people working on it. But in case for microservices - it's just makes things needlessly complicated.
...and the mechanic subs I follow do roast some mfrs for the info systems.

But it's clear that software is important to cars nowadays. I don't think any mfr fails to grasp that at some level. So presumably some will succeed to some degree; why not Hyundai?

The OP said that Hyundai partnered with nVidia - although I grant that the keyboard making could still have been done by a crappy code factory.
The direct translation of the three characters doesn't matter. Saying chabuduo in reply to a question is like just answering Yeah in English. It means you don't care and it is a non reply.
A Master of Djinn (Fantasy Novel) by P Djeli Clark is a fun exploration of this world.
Why not leverage what you know and build web-based products/services?
I don't know why you and the parent post are being downvoted. I also live in EU and would be interested in information specific to this region.
Get your depression treated, then you will be able to figure it out, how to progress.

It may make sense to take a break from work, but it could also be destabilizing, and create the fear of ending up broke. So try to find a way to reduce stress and things that cause you anxiety, whatever it may be. A therapist can help with that too.
So in other parts of the world services are subpar and people lie to you about how they put in all that effort or blame someone else, then you foolishly forgive them for trying but failing due to incompetence or bad luck.

When the services are equally subpar but people are actually honest about not giving a fly and just making a living, you feel that that country doesn’t have the right attitude.

It’s funny how communication/presentation matters. Consumers want providers to at least pretend they like them and gave a 100% for their money.
Also, no analytics are performed on you to analyze what you are watching, when, for how long, etc.
I really hate the advice "Take six months to a year off"

Not everyone is in such a financially advantageous situation that they are able to do so at a minimum we should preface such advice with "Ideally" or "If you are able to"

In fact, when I've faced burn out in the past, one of the major reasons for it was BECAUSE I wasn't in a situation to take such time off and my gosh do I wish it was advice I was able to action!
