The only way you can really do your own work is if you build the career capital (trust etc.) that is required to do that. If you've got it already, is this worth spending it on, or would it be better to spend it by moving to a place where you can do better work?

If your management has problems, and those problems haven't changed in 2 years, do you think they're going to soon? If they weren't going to change themselves, can you realistically change them? If you can't change them, does it make sense to stay?

The only real thing that matters is impact. Make sure your tasks are aligned to that (otherwise you just hit a promo wall that you're never going to climb over). Forget about everything else. If your tasks aren't aligned to wider impact in a way that leads to personal goals, leave.

The reality is good manager or not, you'll probably get pipped if you coast, or if you push too hard against the assigned work. Especially if you don't have social acumen to match your technical skills. Your perception of loyalty to your team is likely significantly more than the reality of your manager's loyalty towards you.

Don't make the mistake of staying too long. That's career suicide (been there done that a few times). Move on before you think it's the right time. Now is when you have the leverage. Make use of it. 2 years is enough to spend at a place unless you're chasing a decent RSU grant. Tech stocks are quite a bit down compared to 2 years ago, so regardless it's probably a good time to change jobs.
Apple Mail does this by default now too.
Newgrange, in Ireland, c.3300 BC (older than the Pyramids) was "discovered" in 1699, really just became a household name since archeology in 1962.

When you take the tour, it's described as

~"well, everyone living here knew about it, but it wasn't a big deal because it was always here, it was only when foreigners saw it that they made a big deal of it."

One of my psychology professors had an alternative: The course I took was required for psych majors, but was also interesting-sounding and worked as an elective for non-psych majors, so at the start of the semester she announced to every one of her students that psych majors should switch to the 3-days-a-week one to get the in-depth knowledge they'll need for the rest of their major, and non-psych majors should switch to the 2-days-a-week one to get the watered-down version. The two classes would explicitly be held to different standards, because this way the non-psych majors wouldn't have to keep up with the psych majors. And the psych majors were warned that if they tried to take the easy out, they'd fall behind later on.
And hope there is a human for anything that doesn’t match. People will remember that email and use that to contact support.
I love the "ideas.md" concept and live by it. I had so many ideas that I turned them into a newsletter[0] (which was also an idea on the list, of course).

The utility of idea notebooks is infectious. I agree with the author in the places you'd expect -- I love being able to get the idea out of my head and clear my head.

One thing I do differently is I actually have an "abandoned" notebook which has ideas that I decided aren't worth pursuing, and I always put a note as to why. I think simply deleting them leaves the possibility of having the same idea again and forgetting why you abandoned it.

When I started the newsletter I had ~300 ideas written out with varying levels of research and thinking behind them (mostly noting leverage points, competitors, where the concepts were mentioned around the internet, leads, etc), that list today is 469 ideas long (so roughly +169). I can't say every idea is good but most of them are at least worth mentioning to someone else in passing.

I have a completely separate notebook of ideas for weekend projects, which has 174 notes in it right now.

I don't see how anyone can not do this -- there's just too much promising information, new techniques, and technology flying by (especially for people in the HN crowd). It feels impossible not to at least ruminate on how you could use the absolute plethora of tools available today to do something interesting.

Even if it's not about building software (which I skew towards), even something simple like "watching TV" is non-trivial these days -- if I asked you to watch the "best" TV that the world has produced in the last 12 months, how would you even start finding it? Wouldn't it be fun to compile and accomplish that?

The idea has been lurking around my head for a while, but I think that the vast majority of humans are hard-wired to make progress -- to endeavor/strive for something. Most people aren't happy to sit idle and accomplish nothing most of their lives.

Recently I set up a HedgeDoc instance[1] so I can share some of these ideas with other people as well.

The obvious reason might be that email verification might be done on a different device.
An even simpler alternative is to not accept an offer you aren't comfortable with.

College’s point is to prove that you can learn a couple of dozen knowledge sets in six months each, to a testably adequate level, and also stick with something for three years (a reasonable guess at how long a technical employee takes to pay off the investment of hiring them.)
I once took Amtrak from Portland to Seattle and it took me over an hour to make it across the Columbia River. Apparently it had something to do with a delay and freight trains having priority.

Even with bad traffic it takes longer for me to take the Metrolink to LA than if I drive. Up until recent gas price increases it was more expensive too. I haven't experienced rail service on the east coast, but at least in my experience on the west coast it is horribly broken. I say this as someone who believes in it and wants it to be successful. I have given it so many chances and it has failed me every time.
Wait if the article only applied to Berklee it wouldn’t be university specific?

When I read the article it was about somebody that graduated early because of the rules at Berklee that allowed them to do so.

Is this actually a universal thing for universities?

Usually (in the US) a “speed limit” is generally a term that relates to maximum speed, whereas a minimum speed is called… a minimum speed. I’m pretty sure there is an actual lower “speed limit” for most universities in that it’s difficult or impossible to take (for example) 15 years to finish a BA.

Who is this for?
On mobile if I change app focus away from my browser, the train samples continue, but the YouTube part stops.
You provided a lot of great context here that wasn't in the article. I found it suspect to begin with unless he had a lot of knowledge or was exceptional. How did he know how to answer those questions in the first lesson with the mentor unless he already had a strong understanding of chords going into it? In other words, he had enough knowledge that the mentor could accelerate accumulating more on top of it. But he had to have already spent a huge amount of time (equivalent to several college semesters) acquiring knowledge to be at that point.

I found the rest of your comment interesting too, but I don't think the overall point of the original article is invalidated, it just needs a caveat. There is no speed limit, except your own ability!
Other “distinguished” people, obviously.

Which should make the problems of any such system obvious: it inevitably becomes yet another “in club” for people with connections and power.

If everything else stays the same, it should have a positive impact on price because of the reduction of issuance.
There's a constant tension between bit-packing and rich semantics older than me! As you likely know C.A.R. Hoare calls `null` his "billion-dollar mistake": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybrQvs4x0Ps.

I linked the Cliff Click talk because it's the best example that I know about of someone using some semi-formal rigor around valid states and the transitions between them in the context of raw atomic operations to get a quite clearly correct result with a legitimate performance imperative: he had a machine with 768 cores, customers who bought that machine to have 768 threads jump on a hash table all at once and wanted ~~700x more throughput having paid for the machine.

But even Cliff Click made sure that both his conceptual states and their physical representations were going A -> B -> C w.r.t. a given conceptual "register".

I'm not trying to knock the serious concurrency pros who need atomic and/or relaxed operations in some super hot path: there are unambiguous use cases for this stuff. I've legitimately needed these things once or twice myself.

Lock-free is a bad default. Even the elite concurrency pros work very hard to get something that's both robust and still a win after the constant factors. I'm saying "proceed with high caution, and on the basis of measurement", not "never ever do this".
As you pointed out infintessimal manipulation in physics produces the correct results most of the time. In fact, it's almost always correct because Taylor Series say so. In the physical world we deal with differentials that are always real. Technically physicists are rejecting the later terms dealing with convergence because for all practical purposes they don't matter.

This frustrates math people like me to no end but I can see why they do that. To a mathematician dx is certainly not a number. It's an infintessimal and therefore not a real number. But physicists can get away with it...their math is simpler.
you said it yourself 'Code is not law, money is'. Money will always flow to the market with the highest 'capital efficiency', its like the laws of thermodynamics for economics/human greed lol. This is the whole point why people perform the ridiculous undertaking to build dedicated fiber-connections between stock markets on different continents.
we already know DeFi does outperform traditional markets in this regard in important topics. Its an engineering task to increase the % in this still very young discipline. But IMHO it is mostly a question of regulation to have a significant shift
Most users have more than 1 email id, some may multiple email apps, in those cases, more work for the user, else it is a 2 click process, 1 for clicking the notification and another for the link.
On a related note, when users want to connect with me I use a mailto link instead of a web form. This is because after someone fills out a webform, I have to email them, and my email is not-infrequently marked as spam (even though we send <1 email/year to our email list, and are not remotely spammy in general).

When the user clicks the mailto link, he starts a message chain and my reply almost always goes through appropriately.

As others have pointed out, there are some downsides to mailto links. But I find them to be outweighed by the deliverability benefit that I've seen.
The problem lies therein that JBIG2 has a compression factor, that is controlled by people who have an incentive to increase it, where few people know what it actually does. And how much testing is really done when is changed? Will the test include text in other scripts, like Chinese or Japanse? It can go wrong in so many ways.

Jpeg artifacts on text are ugly but they tend to stand out. You will see artifacts long before the text becomes unreadable or ambiguous, and that is a good thing.
Are there any more details available about this satellite? Software defined" is cool, but what does that actually mean?
My choice would be the recently standardized JPEG XL designed to replace all of: JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, GIF. Among other things, it is supposed to be the first choice for long-term storage. I guess mass adoption will begin after including it in the PDF standard. It is already experimentally in Chrome and Firefox.

I worry that kids are not given on-ramps to greater things by very carefully constrained games like Minecraft (and CoD, Battlefield, etc.) not having a great modding experience.

I grew up with Warcraft 3, Jedi Knight, a moddable block building title etc. All very mod friendly. This prompted me to learn to 3D model, edit images, etc.

As opposed to miners which are… not heavily centralized?
Yeah exactly. Beetles, worms, and fungi do the job quite nicely. We don’t need mosquitoes at all. When they’re gone other species will pick up the slack.
> To expand on the above point: the amount of wasted computing power is probably at least one or two orders of magnitude, and these improvements to zlib are a tiny fraction of that. All of the JS-where-JS-isn't-needed web stuff, "desktop" applications that are actually web apps in a browser, etc. contributes far more waste.

That "waste" may be a small price to pay that is more than made up for by a combination of the value delivered to the customer and the shortened time to market. For example, there is no faster or easier way to deploy a desktop app that works on Windows, Mac, and Linux than Electron -- and you can do so with a minimum of cross-platform testing. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you to justify, specifically, why not to use Electron when shipping a desktop app. "It's too slow" or "It wastes memory" are not valid answers; you must provide a specific business goal that Electron precludes you from achieving -- for example, you are writing a high-performance game or maintaining a pre-existing application -- because you are asking the business to spend more time and money, up front, to develop the non-Electron solution and not get anything in return (again unless you can justify specifically why Electron is not up to your particular task).

Always put the business first. The fact that JavaScript frameworks for web or desktop eat a lot of memory is a technical issue, but unless you can show that the costs of these frameworks are much greater than the value they deliver to your business or your customers, it makes sense to use them.
Obviously a webmaster knows how a sign up form works.
It also greatly helps with GPU shortages because they aren't needed for mining anymore.
> Zig produces smaller, faster binaries than C++

This seems fairly significant to me and makes me wonder how this is possible with all the effort that has gone into optimizing C++
Email links also lets the person choose the client they prefer, instead of a box in a browser tab.

My e-mail client saves my message as a draft as I type, so I can finish my message slowly without fear of losing my progress.

I also know that my email client works. Many web forms are broken and only reveal that once you hit submit, if at all.

it's good for instant messaging but other than that, it's a waste of time.
Thanks for the informative reply! You sound quite knowledgable about this kind of thing so I'll pose a follow-up question(s).

What game or broad category of game is the least dominated by machines these days? When I first saw the AlphaStar/StarCraft stuff it seemed that there was still plenty of room for humans to be competitive in a general sense, but that was some time ago.

It's hard for me to imagine that 10 years from now there will be a game that isn't machine-dominated, but I could be wrong on either side: maybe that's true now, and maybe there's a set of games that still has DeepMind totally stumped!
I hate the email login link stuff, and any site that has it as the only option, I move on unless absolutely forced to use it.

Especially a pain if I'm trying to login on a device without my email.
That's a step of the signup process. AS this article points out, that link ends up with you back in your browser and logged in. In fact, that's probably the most important reason to bring you back to the browser - so you end in the logged in state and can memorize the password in your browser.
That’s like Reagan using Born in the USA, a song critical of America, as a campaign theme.

DNS support is no where near Unicode. At best we get local language support for non-ASCII domains, but everyone else will see it as punycode. Of course, phishing is one good reason why it's this.

There is no such thing as objective good. Good is relative to the individual making the judgement.

Dogs and trees make us happy. It’s amazing to go for a walk in the forest and breathe the fresh air. The smells of the forest are very pleasant and calming. Unfortunately, forests also tend to have mosquitoes everywhere due to the way shade preserves pools of standing water. Forests would be much more enjoyable to walk through without mosquitoes biting us all the time.

It’s as simple as that, really. We’re allowed to be biased. All other animals are biased. Foxes will kill every single chicken in a henhouse. The difference with us humans is that we can plan for the future in a sophisticated way. That’s why we build the henhouse rather than kill all the chickens immediately.

The rest of the job is just ecological study. If we can determine that the eradication of mosquitoes won’t cause the food chain to collapse and lead to widespread unintended problems, why not do it?

What is good from an ecological perspective? It’s what we humans prefer. Not just in the immediate term but in the long term. We know we like idyllic forests and meadows full of butterflies and reefs teaming with colourful fish. We don’t much like swamps teaming with mosquitoes and other biting insects but we recognize their value as habits for things we do like, mainly waterfowl. So if we can determine whether it’s safe to get rid of mosquitoes without disrupting the other things we do like, why not? After all, we created seedless bananas, grapes, and watermelons.
Our “week 6” assignment was to implement optical character recognition (OCR) in Haskell, a lazy pure functional language. That assignment blew my mind!

Sorry, this article is low on content and high on fearmongering. This issue was known years ago and the only example of it seems to be one implementation from Xerox, which was also set to lossy mode --- and I believe that was subsequently fixed too.

The other comments here have linked to the previous articles about this, which do give far more detailed information about the problem. JBIG2 in lossless mode won't do this.
How is crypto not another fiat? It is not backed by convertability into a commodity either. It's (currently typically) not issued by a state actor but otherwise just like a typical fiat currency brought into being by something akin to a (community) decree.

I know from the US perspective often legal tender concepts are brought into the definition of fiat but the legal tender concept doesn't quite exist in the same way in a lot of other countries.
This is actually a very good idea. I'm gonna start implementing it on my sites. If you want your account verified, just email the site with anything or nothing at all. Thanks for the idea! Email verification is a nightmare.
I would say it covers naming things and cache invalidation. And it is really really good at avoiding off-by-one errors.
I'd love to try this but I'm hesitant for fear that the developers decide to remove some feature that's critical to how I use their software down the line. Gnome is infamous for their drive-by function-follows-form design philosophy.

Their software appears to be designed elusively for the perfect ideal user.
The question was "is there anything good about mosquitos?" and your response is "control ... human population". Which I hope you know happens through pain and suffering of the affected individual and those around them. This doesn't seem like an acceptable price to pay, even if you think decreasing the population is a good thing.

Would you want to revise your opinion?
