I guess the first thing to note is that in a hundred and fifty years, you'll be dead and unless you're one in a million or maybe ten million, nobody alive will know you existed. So it's not a competition, there's no prize ceremony at the end for the guy who did the most stuff, there's no one way you should be living your life.

The second thing is, the past is dead and gone. You can't do anything about it. You can learn to let go of it or you can let it consume your present and deny you whatever future you're trying to make for yourself. There is only now.

Third, you've got to make time to do the things that you enjoy; unless studying computer science is the thing that you enjoy most in the world, you're going to be miserable if you don't do some other stuff. Carmack and Romero spent all their spare time writing code because that's what they loved to do. If that's what you loved to do, you'd have been doing the same thing.

Finally, you're still very young. You have many years ahead of you and what you think will be fulfilling will change, probably more than once. Your life will not turn out how you think it will. That's fine, that's just the way it goes.

That's all I have.
I can highly recommend it. I didn't read the book, because it would take too long, but the film is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Can anyone recommend something similar?
Embrace the absurdity of the human experience and accept that what you're doing now is probably also a total waste of time for some reason that's not yet obvious to you.
Absolutely don’t pursue a stolen vehicle with an AirTag. I had a moto buddy whose bike got stolen in Manhattan. Same story, he called police, but they were too busy doing more important things. Long story short, he follows the bike up to the Bronx, confronts the thieves, and they beat his ass and rob him a g a I n. A block away from a police station.

Not worth it. Just insure the shit out of it and move on.
Renewables and natural gas are two ways of producing the same product - electricity (let's ignore heating/cooking with gas for a second). The supply of energy is cut, demand remains the same, prices rise - this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Prices aren't determined by costs and never have been. Prices are only determined by supply and demand. Not saying it's right, but you're framing this as some kind of unexpected phenomenon when this is obviously how things work.

More regulation is needed to stop people dying in the cold (obviously) but let's not forget why price signals are useful: the possibility for naked profiteering should act as a huge incentive for renewable generators to invest! But in reality, the UK government is going to start cracking down on wind and solar, which is insane. Residents of areas with planned renewable projects also have a habit of blocking them for inane reasons.

If owning a wind farm is a license to print money, we should LET PEOPLE BUILD THEM!
IIRC I paid $15/year upfront for Nebula+CuriosityStream. Doesn't seem a bad way to do things. (Whether $15/year is a sustainable price for N+CS is besides the point)
Find something you need done, and make software that does that.

Trying to solve other people's problems which you don't share isn't likely to lead to real solutions, nor be appreciated by those you're trying to market it to: "this person has no clue what our needs are and they want us to use their solution to the problems they imagine we have"
I’ve been using Firefox for years now from Chrome as part of a full degoogling. It’s great, and the team keeps adding actually useful features to the browser.

I did admittedly like the dev experience more on Chrome, but Firefox still does an okay job.

I can’t say there is much else I miss. I’ve never been tempted to install chrome. No issues or worries with plugins, data abuse, and all the other concerns.
I'm on ell.stackexchange.com and actually the question about articles comes up often - especially since languages like Russian and Chinese don't have them.

The thing is, English really wants all singular nouns tagged with a determiner - that can be an article, possessive such as "my, your," etc., demonstrative such as "this, that,", or other determiners such as "any, all, one, some," etc.

Exception is when the noun is referring to its concept in the abstract (think type of X instead of instance of X).

So, "the X" means the speaker has a particular X in mind and is expecting you to know which X he/she is talking about it - either from previous conversation, assumed shared experience/culture, or rarely the speaker intentionally wants you to feel like you're missing out on something. "A/an X" means the listener isn't expected to have been tracking X.

IMHO more difficult than articles is explaining the perfect aspect of verbs - e.g. difference between "I X'ed" and "I have X'ed".

English has something like particles too - often called phrasal verbs. E.g. knock and knock out mean two completely different things.

These are all good questions. And yes society is complicated. But I don't think the current solution of: let's just have a couple people own everything everywhere while others starve and suffer, is the necessarily the best one. In fact, history has shown the 'few people own everything while everyone else can suck it' approach to resource distribution inevitably leads to collapse.
Ask HN: Double taxation on retained earnings with C-corp
I’m an engineer who is thinking of starting a business soon. I’m currently just reading a bunch of books on startups and business, and I have this one burning question.

Disclaimer: Yes, I do plan on getting professional help, but I like to lean the basics before talking to those folks.

So here’s my question…

Say I form a C-Corp and have $300k in revenue the first year. Say I take a salary of $100k from that. My understanding is I can deduct the salary and avoid a double taxation. Now is it possible to save the remaining $200k and payout myself (and anyone I bring on) over next few years and avoid double taxation?

My use case is that I have a few people in my network that need some work done. I’d like to use the money I receive from them to bootstrap a startup. If I just created some type of pass-through entity (partnership or S-Corp), that $300k would be subject to the standard high income tax rates. If it’s possible, I’d like to minimize my taxes so I can roll it into the business. If things go well, I’d start to hire folks with the retained earnings.
I think you should make peace with yourself. At the time, it was the right thing to do (even if you think the complete opposite now), and you did it. Learn from it, consider everything as an experience, and keep doing what you love. 23 is nothing, you have plenty of time ahead and many people start their lifelong hobbies/passions at a later age anyway.

Nothing is wasted. You enjoyed your time playing WoW, and now you want to try other hobbies, go on and try them! Whatever you do, don't consider anything in the past as "wasted".
Not lobbying, lobbyists.

1) Better UI

2) Higher quality content

3) Higher quality posters

If I want to discuss my hobbies or other subjects I use Reddit (specifically old.Reddit.com).

If I want higher quality content and to read news about my profession I come here.

I’m a member of several programming subs and other places like stackoverflow are still generally better for asking programming questions and receiving higher quality answers.
The story is nonsense. Rudy gets a laptop, sits on it, does whatever with it, and then claims it shows malfeasance on the part of Joe Biden (at best it shows Hunter Biden is what everyone already knows–a mild fuckup whose dad loves him).

The rightwing smear campaign attempting to frame Biden and exonerate trump by pretending Hunter is worse than Kushner, Ivanka, and the rest of the trump criminal family is ridiculous.
You are still 23. There are many many many, hundreds of thousands, millions, people who wasted their life until they are 40, 50. I see it everyday.

Take a look at people outside who works dead end job, who can’t negotiate their salary, who don’t have multi talents/skills, who are average.

Take a look at those people, they are 35 but their skills are like 21 year old. Meaning, after they graduate college they didn’t improve a single thing in their life, not their mindset, not their practical skills, not their hobbies.

You aren’t too late. You can change now. Just keep building yourself day by day, a little bit at a time, any subject is fine, any exercise is fine, any hobby is fine, but don’t stop. Skill, knowledge, compounds far more than finance. You keep getting better day by day, by 35 you’ll beat a lot of people around you in your age. You’ll be a polymath, with T shaped expertise good enough to be dangerous in a number of areas. Knowledge compounds even in seemingly unrelated areas.

Don’t take it too crazy either. It is easy to be too workaholic and burnout. You want to be consistent. Consistency is key.

Don’t be extremely dilligent. Don’t be lazy. Don’t be average.

Just be above average.

Also, at one point you might amassed skills/knowledge complex enough that you’ll feel that games aren’t that challenging anymore and you’ll automatically reduce gaming to just casual gaming.

Beware, I warned you. But do it, its worth it.
do not regret my friend. as others have said, you have already taken the first step, which is to recognize that something needs to be changed. but you will later thank your past experiences, believe me. i spent 10+ years playing quake world, more than 5h/day and i am very grateful for that period, because it was my first contact with some kind of programming, i made my best friends at that time there and got fluent in english. despite the enormous amount of time spent, I do not regret that period, in fact, I am very grateful for it to have happened

> My understanding was that you could ever only get green threads.

Ruby 1.8 had green threads, 1.9 onwards has native threads, but with a GVL. And 3.2 may have N:M threads.

> Is the GIL not going to be a thing any more?

On paper it's already done in 3.0. What used to be the GVL is now one lock per Ractor. Every object belongs to a Ractor, and the Ractor lock need to be acquired to access the objects, except for mutable objects that can be shared across ractors.

So in practice if you are not spawning any more ractor than the main one the VM execute your program in, then it's technically still a global lock, but you now have (limited) ways to go around it.

I'm not sure what qualifies his argument as an arm-chair argument relative to yours.

Grammar is a shortcut to a basic understanding, the primary complaint of users of Duolingo is the lack of grammar lessons, and having to infer rules solely through examples.

I don't know of anyone who is arguing for a single approach to language learning either. Pretty much everyone who has ever worked through a textbook recommends supplementing with real content, examples, media, conversations and so on. It doesn't invalidate the use of a textbook focused on grammar.

As for language models they're pretty much entirely irrelevant to human learning.
Everything you do is ultimately pointless. You feel that becoming a particular type of engineer you aspire to is meaningful, but once you get there you’ll realize you’re still yourself and you didn’t ascend to some higher level of being. Probably the most meaningful thing we can do is through social interactions. Your time in WoW must have incorporated social interactions. Be proud of those experiences - they’re in no way worse than others. Enjoy who you are and where you’ve been, avoid hurting people directly or indirectly, and you’ll be fine. If now you value your work with computers more then pursue that with the same vigor - but realize it’s not more meaningful than playing WoW, because meaning is what you make of it. Our culture will tell you productive activities that create capital and productivity are meaningful, but they only are if you find meaning and purpose in them for yourself without regard to the monetary necessities. I’m certain you felt purpose and meaning in your WoW playing at the time, and maybe you’ve just grown and changed. That’s ok too. Just because you wouldn’t spend your time doing WoW now doesn’t change you were driven to then, and the fact you could have “leap frogged” your current skill doesn’t matter one little bit. It’s not a race.
My two-cents is that if you're making a FOSS app yourself, it needs to be something you need or want to make. If you try to make something for other people without fully understanding the requirements you're probably going to lose interest. A lot of the FOSS apps I have made/use are for specific, single use cases like game addons because they interest me at the time.

If you aren't passionate about a thing its really hard to motivate yourself to work on said thing.

If you're making something you want to make a living off of, then naturally treat it like you would a commercial product.

Then you have “I go home”, which drops not only “the” but “to”. Religious in nature? No.

This was some truly bizarre reasoning based off one example and it has zero actual foundation in language. One of the strangest comments I’ve ever seen on HN.
When I was younger, I spent 10-14 hours a day on my bike or skates, with friends, and in later years I spent the same on WoW, now I spend that time at work -- if I'm including commuting. They're all different types and stages of socialization.

Don't lose sight of the fact that your fun and escape is actually the bleeding edge of technology - the Fridman podcast isn't exactly light listening - and you're familiarizing yourself through play.
I'm curious, what did that time playing games give you? Nothing?

I spent a lot of time on MUDs and EverQuest. But I gained lifelong friendships from it.

Sometimes I think back to all the time I spent with regret. But that helped form who I am today. Without it I would be a very different person.

Beyond that, life is not a straight line from A to B. There's twists and turns as everyone tries to figure things out for themselves. And on top of that, sometimes shit happens.

Where "local truck" is "a vehicle that can fit at the location, unlike a semi" and "depot" is "nearby, where their semi is parked", sure. And they do frequently hire local help, rather than cart them across hundreds or thousands of miles.

But it's not like they're going to post office / Amazon / etc "hubs" and changing vehicles along the way - the human labor cost and increased risk would be far too high, though pods might be feasible. The same semi and the same driver does 99% of the distance, and often hires their own helpers. The local shuttling and helpers are entirely reasonable and often unavoidable.
Regret serves a purpose - it makes things memorable and makes them affect your decision-making. If you regret wasting time on pointless things, hold onto that regret and use it as a driving force to work now and in the future. That's the proper way to cope with regret.

In an alternative universe where you don't feel that regret, you could probably keep wasting time for the rest of your life without ever noticing.
The only book I've read on this list, Guns, Germs, and Steel, is heavily discredited amongst historians because it bases its conclusions on cherrypicked, exaggerated, or outright wrong facts, and also relies on some specious reasoning throughout the book.

Bullshit. It's unclear communication and indecisiveness that pisses people off. If you can't afford it, there is no reason for you to give something for free and then later take it away. People who are paying will feel that samething will happen to them in other ways. You want consistency.
By very amusing coincidence, one of my favorite YouTube subject matter experts posted a video on this exact problem (questionable citations) less than 24 hour ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1HwANCSJMU

(The video's context is the sinking of the German battleship Bismark. Whether or not you've any interest in that subject, the video can still give you a far better sense of the problem than Singularly Hub's article.)
I've read somewhere that Czechs (day ahead price of 463EUR/MWh) produce electricity at 0.1EUR/MWh, then sell it to an exchange in Germany and buy it back for the "market" price. Somebody over there is getting extremely rich for no reason and I am wondering why nobody is doing anything about it...

Ukraine split in two : one pro-russia in the east, another pro-west in the west.

Half a loss for the russian that showed the world their military wasn’t as good as they thought. Half a loss for the EU that showed their economical weakness as they couldn’t make a medium country’s economy explode even if they did all they had in their power. And globally a huge win for the US.

Honestly, i hope this serves as a warning for the EU citizen: we have very average people taking decisions in the EU governance.

I like to think about things in terms of labor input. Like if you go to a restaurant and pay $15 for a plate of pancakes then the entire labor that goes into that is less than an hour.

And that's for everything. Farmer growing wheat/chickens, cook making batter + cooking, syrup, banana growing, spices, clean up, waiter, etc.

Realistically if we're talking about just the restaurant bit there can only be a few dollars of labor and therefore maybe like 5 minutes of labor at most. Only way to achieve that is through scale.
None of your points expresses support. It is one option, if you are attacked, you just surrender and probably save a lot of lives. At least immediately, there can of course be other bad things happening down the road. I do not think that I would consider this the best option most of the time, but it is a valid option and maybe even a good one if you value lives over everything else or if the situation is extremely in favor of the aggressor. But even then does suggesting to surrender not imply your support for the initial aggression.
I can definitely say that Gatwick is the 100% better airport for international transfers. From that angle, the only thing Heathrow has going for it is that there are many more options. From every other aspect, Gatwick is way better and Heathrow is horrific.
