It isn't that's it's not doing your part, it's that to think they are equal amounts of work, time, value and money.

Creating the Linux kernel is different to packaging an upstream Dependency. Or fixing a bug in a dependency.

You effectively owe the maintainer again for the work they do reviewing your work. Something that takes them away from their free time and other issues.

Sure both are hard and valuable but they are not equal difficulty or value.

The company earns money based on the revenues produced by the software that uses the maintainers product. That money goes to you as part of your wages and you think a bug fix is enough to compensate for the maintainers additional time for looking or merging your bug. Do you see now how that might not be reasonable or fair? Your balance debt to the maintainer is negative even after your bug fix. Especially given money is involved so it's doubly negative.

You also need to think of the time and money the maintainer spent in addition to the work to produce the initial product. So there you are even more indebted to the maintainer.

It will vary between industries and target markets. The best thing to do is a/b test it by synthetically giving your customers a slow loading page and seeing how it affects your metrics. I’ve only worked one place that was brave enough to do this and client loading speed was highly correlated to conversion rate.
Well no... that's my point! A political statement is not fashion. If one plants a political flag in their garden in support of a presidential candidate, that's not fashion, that's politics.

If people decide to broadcast their opinions about the world using cars, they certainly can; but I don't think that kind of behavior can be called "fashion". Ideology, maybe.

They did indicate that by being an American publication. It's not like Spain publications start every article with "Here in Spain, <blah blah blah>." That'd be absurd.
Ask HN: How to Approach a Potential Mentor?
I'm normally a very optimistic person, but doing five years of bootstrapped startups and side projects with no major wins feels like I'm a pair of molars being worn away by a habitual teeth grinder. I feel like I've spread myself too thinly across a number of projects (a startup, a newsletter, consulting, another website, writing), but am having difficulties deciding on what to prioritize, what to completely drop, and how to approach deciding it in a structured manner. I think third party advice from a respected mentor can help get me out of the weeds.

How would you recommend approaching a mentor for this? Should I reach out via LinkedIn, personal email, or a forum like Reddit/HN? There isn't anyone in my direct network who I think "yeah I'd want to be where they are in 5 years following a similar path". Should I lead with these issues or keep it more general at first?

For reference, I'm the technical cofounder, but with all of the side projects, I've had a couple of years of part-time experience in marketing/growth hacking (ew buzzword, but just think growth with $0 spend) and sales too.

Pretty clearly, it's the definition of those running the social media giants and the mass media that applies.
I used to drink a couple of beers at home at night from time to time. We used to buy them in the supermarket with my wife. I thought it was normal, but it isn't. This year I have completely stopped my alcohol intake, I stopped buying beer in the supermarket, and for the first time ever in my life I have been able to control my sleep schedule. I also feel less tired.

Maybe give it a try.

I'm not 100% against alcohol - but in the moment I only drink in social settings never alone at home. Not even one beer.
Namingwise, Xerox had the "Star" personal office system, with machines such as the Star 8010 Information System. They didn't call it "Office". "Star" referred to OS/app environment, one option for the 8010 hardware, And "system" means "single workstation" (that operstied in the network) not the whole network.

"Star Office" was Sun's competitor to Microsoft Office suite.

Interesting tech, though I can't help imagining it's solving an auxiliary issue and not the core problem with many call centers, which is that these workers are usually unable to solve the customer's problem but are there only to serve as a punching bag.

From the article, "It’s not hard to imagine scenarios where the introduction of Sanas results in companies demanding more of their workers because they now have “accent matching" that is supposed to increase their performance with customers—-a typical outcome when workplaces with minimal autonomy implement performance-boosting software."
This thing actually happens ALL THE TIME in Bitcoin. That's why no one accepts a transaction (at least not one for any significant amount of BTC) as soon as it is in the latest block - they wait until the transaction is in the 3rd, 4th or older block.

The Bitcoin blockchain constantly "forks" for the latest 1-2 blocks. If you sell your car for BTC and hand over the car the moment you see the latest block contains the transaction where the BTC enters your wallet, you may see 1h later that the longest chain does NOT contain your transaction, and in fact your transaction is now invalid, because the buyer wallet has sent all the money somewhere else.

I’d say too lazy to google. Because I have never heard of them anywhere before, not exactly widespread outsides of some sites (but I googled them).
I would also add that every EU country I've looked at also has an "or equivalent work experience" clause for their tech/skilled-path work permits that would void the education requirement.
Beautiful examples... but does anyone else dislike infinite scrolling websites? It feels like a dark pattern intended to maximize time spent on the site.

I wonder how much this is true if you are Japanese.

Also, one of the most manly man I've ever known was watching anime and have been pretty open about it with people and as far as I'm concerned nobody was thinking about him to be too much of a dreamer.

I recommend stop visiting incel forums/reddits/PUA sites and figure out a way to build your confidence as a person.

It's normal in any open source project to keep security mailing lists and things of that nature private. And for good reasons.

One of the reasons is they are dealing with security related bug reports. Public disclosure before having a fix in place puts users at risk.

Besides that 'security' is a process that all groups are responsible for. So it can't help being _developed_ in the open if the project is open. Which Brave is.

Nothing, as far as I can tell. End-to-end encrypted history and tabs, and recent versions with iCloud+ use encrypted DNS and VPN (iCloud private relay) that uses encrypted forwarding so ingress servers can’t tie your requests to a destination.

Outside of using Tor and your own VPN, it looks like Safari w/ iCloud+ protects browsing history from everyone (Apple and ISPs) while delivering a seamless experience.
Agreed, it's a major difference.

But that still doesn't preclude Apple from still being able to target ads based on this data. Instead of Google/Facebook who "push" ads to you based on targeting, the App Store could be "pulling" ads based on on-device data that it doesn't share with Apple.

Parchment doesn't last very long in anything other than ideal environments. Deserts are ideal and so we have found things like the dead sea scrolls in Israel, and Egypt has similar treasures (none I can think of off hand, but they have them). Put parchment in a dump in rainy England and it will rot away in a few hundred years.

The manuscripts we have mostly exist because the people of the past (often Christian monks) cared enough about them to make a copy - by hand. (I assume Monks in places like China or India have been making copies in the same way, I just don't know for sure)
Agreed, live-patching can be blessing or curse, but this is definitely the champion use case for it

So the periodic archive download might be a reasonable suggestion.

This is exactly what I do for the handful of domains I pointed to fastmail.

I noticed the same years ago. I have ~250mbit FiOS. I could upgrade to 1 gigabit for another $20 per month, but I don't feel that my life would be $20 per month better. Websites and Youtube wouldn't download any faster. Due to latency, work won't get any faster. I buy and install new games maybe once per year, but is saving an hour once a year really worth the extra $240 for that year? I don't think so.

I'm the only one at my house. My brother might come over, but that's just one low-end phone on wifi, which feels like a rounding error on ~250mbit.

Why would it be hard? If anything a fat runtime makes it easier - see hard-real time JVMs used in military tech.

Hard real time is not too hard in general as it is usually combined with quite low performance-requirements. Boundedness itself is the important property, as opposed to soft-real time which is much more finicky (video games, audio).
>within a tight deadline

Isn't hard real-time only about upper-bound of tasks? Like if every task could be proven to run under t seconds (not necessary small), it is eligible for being called hard real-time.
I think that's making too fine of a point. There are numerous aesthetic choices associated with political positions; variants of "military chic" amongst conservatives is one example.

I happen to think that most modern trucks look incredibly stupid, but that's because their design language isn't intended for me. It's intended for people who have different fashion tastes, tastes that approximate political positions that I don't hold. In other words: the truck itself isn't a direct political statement, ordinarily; it's an efficient means for signaling politics through fashion.
Anyone who chooses option 4 has a high chance of becoming a pariah. It is also equivalent to option #3 for the author. He's just going to ignore you and his projects are probably going to ignore you. The only person option #4 hurts is you.

The correct thing for any reasonable engineer to do is transparently communicate the impact of those previous decisions to their management. The framework/library/system we chose no longer supports our needs in this instance. We can either workaround it, maintain a fork of it, or replace it. The costs of doing each of these is X. What do you want to do.

Every automatic car I’ve driven would e.g. quickly downshift when pressing down the accelerator, and while this can be laggy with older AMTs I’d assume it’s not an issue on modern gearboxes, at least the not-super-cheapo ones.

But probably more relevant, all automatics I’ve driven have “manual” shifters (paddles or +/- selector on the gear lever) which let you override the gearbox’s decisions, to an extent.

So nothing precludes anticipating your gearing, even on an automatic.
