I was raised awkward middle American introverted nerdy dude and a few things transformed my life and now I’m a “chick magnet” that can talk about anything…

I started exercising regularly. Even 15 minutes of stretching and light activity now and then throughout the day works. Tho now I’m strong and kind of cut (I learned some martial arts systems over the years so I could “handle myself “) I don’t eat junk food and avoid anything with refined sugar. Bad for the body and mind.

I love books and learning about history. When I find a cool topic I rehearse the story back to myself and practice telling their anecdotes on whoever I can. I can now speak with familiarity and intrigue on dozens of topics.

I never really “hit on” females, I just talk to them every chance I get in innocuous friendly ways. Without motive or agenda, and after years of that women are so comfortable talking to me they signal their interest when they have it (so I don’t fumble around wondering if they like me and how to take it to some other level.) Become their ally, take their side in things. I really like talking to older women, even grandmas. Learn the female perspective for its own sake, not because you might get something out of it.

Recognize good relationships take years to build, yet you acquire them in a flash. So you never know who will become your bff, until a year or so later when you see you’ve kept in contact. So be charming, helpful, and outgoing by default. And peers (fellow dudes) are really the hardest to befriend. Over-similarly and competition is a greater barrier than unfamiliarity, so don’t let that discourage you.
Humility essentially the core virtue of Christianity, as well as active recognition of pride as a sin.

If you dig deep, you’ll find that pride is the root of virtually every evil.

I’m only pointing this out because of the perception of Christianity that you mention in your post. There’s a very big difference between what Reddit claims is Christian behavior and what the Bible actually claims.

> why not allow the ISA to query[1] if an L1 access is currently viable

Well that's interesting. Query/branch on whether some address is presently in a given cache line, with more fun if one can test whether whether that line is exclusive/shared etc. The hardware definitely knows that, though the information may be stale immediately after providing it.

Selling that to the hardware guys would mean finding a compelling use case. I expect modifying the cache coherency implementation is done reluctantly. I can't think of one where whether a single line is resident is worth branching on, and querying whether N are present doesn't really fit the ISA model.

Further up the stack though, whether a given page is currently in memory (as opposed to swapped out) is a similar sort of thing, where one might want to prefetch it while doing other work. That might not be worth a syscall though.

So I love the suggestion but can't see the return on the silicon investment.
Is this supposed to be deep or something? That seems on the contrary extremely shallow and devoid of any insight.

Interesting. My previous company (large bank) really cherished the front-end devs on our team, because they knew how hard and annoying it would be to hire replacements for them. They definitely were not treated as disposable.
Based on a comment here last year I picked up a copy of the Anarchist's Work Bench. It's about building a bench for a workshop. I never built that bench but in the fall of last year I started accumulating some tools - table saw, miter saw, router, etc. Working with wood has become a haven for me.

I'm hoping to turn this into a second income for "spending money" and then into a real business.

I haven't felt this good in years.

Same can be said about your local classroom, universities, and even companies. There's different types of currencies (whether it's your grades or performance reviews), cryptocurrency is no different than the value that is exchanged between two members of the community.

Let's not assume that it's going to be the end-all and be-all, because it's not. It's a medium of exchange between members of a community (BTC, ETH, Doge, or whatever).

The common misconception that "oh crypto is such a scam" type of group is that they assume this is designed to replace something else. It's not a replacement of any kind, it's a tool for a medium of exchange between communities.

Skepticism requires critical thinking and engagement. You can't be a proper skeptic about something without taking the time to understand the domain you're being skeptical of, approach it in good faith from first principles as much as possible, and accept criticism in kind.

Most people just won't bother, because cynicism and snark provide a better endorphin hit, and the internet has trained people to associate that feeling with likelihood of correctness (what Stephen Colbert called "truthiness" back in the day.)

Take a break if at all possible, if not then prioritise saving to be able to take some time off. A month+ would be ideal but anything over 2-3 weeks would be nessesary to disconnect enough to start seeing past the tress.

Look into therapy/counciling of some sort. No matter what what the actual problem is, having space to talk and vent about it is important. Judging by your post you've got a lot of thoughts and feelings locked up right now, having a professional to work through it with would be really helpful.

None of that is to say it's "your fault" or "your problem", but it might help you to figure out your next move. That may be getting out of the industry and into something else, or it might be finding a new job where the issues aren't as pronounced.

But drawing from imagination is just copying from an abstraction existing in your brain. And that abstraction comes from inputs from the outside that you saw in the past, where would it come from if not that?

In the Obama example it comes from copyrighted inputs. Without the photos in the magazines and newspapers I would not have idea how Obama looks. Any draw I do, it's going to be derivative of those copyrighted photos and, maybe, other inputs more generics that I saw in the past (that could be copyrighted too).

How is that different from what that software is doing? It's not, it's just that it's done in an industrial scale.

This is just the same problem an artisan had when factories started to appear.

Yeah it's weird. I can see in the inspector that the element's href points to that url.

- This is my user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

- I'm in Japan

- the initial request to the url results in a 301 redirect to that IP

- same result in incognito mode

- works on my iPhone Safari and MacOS Safari

- I get 3 warning messages on Chrome with same message `crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated.` but not on Safari

So it's looking like some weird Chrome issue

> * DevOps: If people find value in releasing software in an organized manner to avoid breaking websites / "testing in production" and losing a lot of revenue, why do you strongly hate or care at all? You don't have to work on devops.

Nowadays, devops can be the process police, where they define rigid processes which make their life (releasing, version management, hotfixes etc.) easier at the cost of the developers. The processes are automatically enforced by the tools and workflows they write (which are often slow and/or flaky BTW, making things so much worse), so there's no way you could just ignore them.
I think people just interpret "future" very differently. For some "future" does include your second and third paragraph, since it is also a potential causality down the line. For others, it's only first paragraph example. Future for some is a branching tree, for others just a linked list.
Apologies if I'm mistaken, but I take it you are Vietnamese? I'm curious as to why you say Japanese would be more helpful in Vietnam. Is there a large Japanese minority in Vietnam, compared to Koreans and Chinese?

Asian languages always fascinated me, though I never learned them past some feeble attempts and learning Japanese, and later Korean, years ago. It's interesting to contrast with the situation in European where most languages ultimately have a common(Indo-European or Uralic, with some isolates like Basque) origin, and a lot of languages are mutually intelligible with eachother.

In Asia the situation is very different. There are lots of different families. Thai(Kra-Dai), Chinese(Sino-Tibetan), Korean(Koreanic), Japanese(Japonic), Vietnamese(Austroasiatic) and Mongolian(Mongolic) seem to live in their own families, with any possible common origin between two or more these families being unclear and highly controversial in linguistics.

Chinese has played a role similar to Latin historically, used for writing by the intellectual elites, and having major influences in terms of writing and vocabulary.Evolving into the kana+kanji writing system in Japanese, but being mostly replaced by Hangul in Korean and completely(afaik) by the latin alphabet in Vietnamese.
I was also struck by this definition, which I had not heard before.
Yes. The way my wife and I found ours was that on vacation we'd just drive to somewhere we hadn't been, stopping in small towns along the way. When we found a town we liked, we'd get a hotel room or B&B and wander around and explore the town.

Ended up buying a house in one of those towns that we had passed through on vacation. Within walking distance of everything we need. It's much cheaper than the big city, or even a suburb near a big city.
Totally r/iamverysmart vibes
I feel that it's also very hard for people who understand security to put themselves out there. For people who actually care about security and not just compliance, there's no real job market at all. Companies never hire for this kind of role.

So I think they're hard to find because there's no real market for them, there's little point in announcing themselves and their expertise since there's really [almost] nobody interested in hiring that.

It's a sad reality, tbh.

OK, so that explains why the items are there at all, but /how/ did they survive unbroken for 600odd years? /Especially with a conquest going on?/

Wha? Money is not a constant of the Universe. Expressed as currency, it's explicitly limited to particular regions and eras. I cannot use Finnish markka in the US (bound by space) nor even in Finland (bound by time).

It's literally bounded by time and space, like everything. Seriously, anti-Capitalist rhetoric relies on these sort of poetic images, but cannot level any kind of effective critique.
I think the employees in their 20s are valued because they have the time and the energy to "power through". They work hard and party harder. But this powering through results in things that, yes, work, but are engineer-hostile and hard to maintain. They also quantitatively produce more output, useful or just overly complicated.

Us fossils think more before we do anything, because we ain't got all life, and we definitely want to keep it as simple as possible, as we don't want to be getting calls after dinner time - at 6PM :)
Yeah I'm in a small company. I'm the entire IT department. It was a great way to get my mind back after burning out. I was counting physical stock at the end of each day for the first year. That downtime was a brilliant way to get some time to think. I felt productive every day, even if I was stuck on a technical problem.

Now I get to pick the technology I work with and drive a lot of change. I really feel like I'm making a difference and my efforts are worth it. Before I felt the harder I tried the worse I did. Everything was out of my control and replying to. Short email could take me a couple of hours. I couldn't think, in couldn't learn, I was broken.
I second the far far far part. While I have surely close to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblioth%C3%A8que_de_la_Pl%C..., they won't be shown in any calls, and I read just maybe 5 top. My reason, I see them as investment for later, one day, I'll have time, and if I don't, my daughter will. She already expressed crazily she wanted to read them but at 8, and considering my culture, it's hard to curate some accessible books. Well I know some are clearly not for her (Jin Ping Mei) .

The asynchronous nature of email is useful. If I get a chat message in slack or teams, I generally assume a response is needed immediately. If I get a notification, I'll drop what I'm working on, and respond to their question.

With email, there's no expectation of that, at least not at my company. If you send an email, you expect a response sometime between the next few hours and the next few days. The only notification is a flag on my email client, which is easily ignored until I'm at a stopping point and can dedicate time to the question.
They only need to survive long enough to get covered up, which could happen pretty quickly if there is a battle going on. Once they are covered they are protected.
Burn out detected! Ask me how I know :) I went through the same thing and it took me 5+ years to recover. I'm 42, so we're likely in the same boat.

First, don't give up and pick up areas in the industry that require people to actually be innovative and not be cogs in the machine. To me those areas are machine learning and blockchain development. I've dabbled in both, and figured I like the latter better. It's got a ton of hype and bullshit (machine learning has that too), but you are nowhere being a fungible developer.

I have a different policy. I read a lot, but almost exclusively from the public library (which is very good, here in Copenhagen). If I like a book so much that I expect to read it again at least twice, then I may buy a copy. Last time I moved, I gave over half of my books away.

I think they do. Note that Apple can still track conversions on apps (gaming apps is where the money is), which basically no-one else can without getting ATT agreement. Note additionally how Apple (and Google's) business are conveniently excluded from ATT concerns (because they track installs differently).

Like the gaming advertisers on iOS have nowhere else to go now that Apple have hobbled the competition, which they tried to do with App Store ads about 5 years ago.
The article gives several examples of AI-regenerated Starry Night, and says:

It looks like it, but it’s not the exact same thing, it’s almost as if the AI is drawing it from memory, which in some way it is, it’s re-constructing what Starry Night looks like.

Git == Embrace

GitHub == Extend

Microsoft, through github is EXTENDING the functionality of GIT adding features and creating an entire ecosystem around those extended features making project non-portable so people can not just pickup their repo and move them to a GitLab or Gitea...

That is the 2nd part of EEE.... Of course they are not going to add those features to the GPL version of Git, that would not enable them to EXTINGUISH Git...

> If you dig deep, you’ll find that pride is the root of virtually every evil.

I think we live in the tension between being big and being small in the world. If you're big and you have bad judgement, you'll cause more harm than if you're small and have bad judgement. But being small is also an act of self abandonment. At its extreme, its no life at all.

Far too many people I know have no idea how to take up space with the confidence that they have something valuable to add to the world. They have important ideas - but don't back themselves and don't pursue them. We're all worse off when that happens.

Whats the point in learning ethics if you keep yourself powerless anyway?

I think cowardice and timidity are much bigger problems in modern society than pride.
