This is kind of my whole confusion about the Framework module thing itself.

The repairability and linux support of the device is very cool. The easy upgrade internals and well labeled bits are very cool, but the external modules seem kind of pointless to me. They take up valuable interior space and are basically snap in USB-C dongles anyway.

If you have a few of these square framework only modules in your bag is that better than having more universal mac style dongles?

I don't really agree. I think you can know what ingredients are more likely to make you happy, and you can direct your life towards them.

With your outlook what does one do? Just sit there and wait for happiness to appear?

This is extremely well put! As a youngster, I never understood why my father, who is an incredibly talented engineer and perhaps an even better organizer/leader, made no particular attempt to climb the management ladder (he, frankly, was tons more qualified to be an IT exec then any of the various folks he reported to through the years). However, the older I get and the more time I spend in my carrier, the more I realize that I love the "optimal zone"! I think where that zone is varies between persons, but, for most of us, there is absolutely a point where the expectations and responsibilities start to outweigh the benefits of the job (both the tangible and the intangible ones).

In my career, I quit my corporate job and I am now focusing on engaging myself with meaningful engineering work where I can collaborate with other passionate people to solve real problems. Just like my Dad, I could be making more money climbing the ladder, but I guess I learned from his example that there is a whole lot more to life then that....
I am also looking for some part time work, lmk if you find any.
Send me an e-mail and I'll send you curated resources that were useful over the years. I can't write a thorough reply right now and there are many layers to it.

TL;DR:

A market you can reach that can buy a product you can get distributed.

It's advantageous if you enjoy interacting with the people you want to solve problems for, especially initially (many calls, emails, conversations).

The product's sale complexity (high-touch vs. low-touch or self-service, buyer-is-user vs. buyer-is-not-user but can make discretionary decisions vs. purchase signed off by a committee) will impact what you do. Continually reduce the sale complexity.
I can ssh (of course) with my ssh key, and now I can sign Git commits with it. Can I also use an ssh key for encryption? My keys are all ed25519 if that helps. I see a few proofs of concept on the web, but nothing as easy* as gpg.

My only use case for gpg asymmetric encryption is encrypting my offsite backups, and various small things. In other words, I encrypt only to myself, and I like asymmetric encryption because I can keep the private key offline.

*that word is used ironically. gnupg is the devil I know, so I don't mind it much these days, but I'd love to migrate off it completely.

40 years of accumulated infrastructure. Datacenters may have upgraded, other businesses have not. People generally don't re-wire buildings when the old wires still work.
It started that way, now it's designed to jam in all the functionality people expect. In the iPhone s case, with one button and no Force Touch.

Unless you want to stick to the old patterns of using one app at a time, there is nothing intuitive about it any more.

Huh. That's one of the parts I enjoy most! There's so many ways to approach it.

One I haven't seen documented widely:

Use a slow belt holding two science types (one each side) to feed the left side of a faster belt (which then has a left lane that alternates between the two colors). Repeat for the right side (your fast belt now has four colors). You now have a four-color belt to feed your labs, but it backs up when you use more of one color than another, so at the end you add splitters to extract the individual colors into four belts, and feed them back into the start (with priority, so they don't block).

I fucking hate those folding connectors, they get wedged between the strain relief boot on the ethernet cable and are very difficult to unplug. I witnessed a classmate completely destroy the back plastic on his laptop because he couldn't get it out.

dont get me wrong i'm sure there are better designs than others, but when its bad, its really bad
Does protobufs rely on static initialization or did you link the wrong bug? That would be extremely strange because there’s generally a disallowance of any / all non trivial static initialization in library code Google-wide, especially for protobufs.
>The problem in this world we've made is not that people choose to spend a fun time with friends rather than run a marathon. It's pleasures that are hardly even pleasures. It's getting angry on the internet, or gambling, or taking this or that substance because it's easier than living.

My (and I suspect many others') personal issue is that I'm forced to spend so much of my energy working that at the end of the day/week I only have enough left to veg out with wasted time like reddit or whatever.

The things that truly make me happy take more energy, which I can't summon when forced to deal with life's necessities for >10h/day.
If not, I've had a lot of incredibly decent employers in the past. They all seem to do two or three months. I know of layoffs where people have gotten significantly more, though.
I agree that having regular conversations in your target language is a good path to fluency. However, finding a conversation partner who is willing to work with you is hard. Unless I migrate to one of the countries where the languages I plan to study are spoken, the only way to have a conversation partner would be to hire someone.
What’s strange here is OpenShift as a target. The last I looked, VMs were just getting initial support - certainly not enough functionality or proving to encourage one to rehost 100k VMs onto it as a platform. Also why the assumption that IBM would treat them better than Broadcom/CA?
Easier to spot the trick when it's all written in code. "There-is" is a huge overreach from a computational perspective, opens the door for "this sentence is false" type logical knots and unbounded complexity.

I know its the first lesson in discrete math, but "there exists a _" makes no sense from an algorithmic perspective. How do you find it?
It's thicker, but is there a USB-C 2.5gbps dongle on the market? I can't imagine someone opting for this sort of solution over a dongle.
The regular modules fit in pretty snugly and don't add any extra bulk to the device. So you can put it in tight bags or sleeves without having to carry anything else around while still getting whatever ports you need.

This ethernet module is a little bulky, but it still looks like it fits more snugly than any third party dongle would, and chances are you wouldn't want to take it with you when you leave the house anyway.

The bottom of the expansion cards is exposed though - it seems like it should be possible to do the fold open style of connector that a lot of laptops have built in without it needing to expand past the edge. But maybe including the circuitboard as well took up too much space.
I am pretty sure that the payment processors giving you the choice of banning horny stuff or getting the boot would not look kindly upon “a separate branch with different branding”.

OnlyFans could exist, sure, but like every other horny service ever it had a built-in time limit. When Visa/MC/Apple/etc notice how much porn money you’re doing, then the axe falls. Maybe you continue without the porn. Maybe you fold up. Either way all the pornmongers leave and look for a new way to get paid. In a few years they will be doing this again.

Patreon could have built OF, in theory, but this would require them to have more than the vaguest interest in actually building anything new. I’ve been using Patreon to get paid for my art since a few months after they launched and this is not a thing they have. I’m not sure they even actually have anyone who can do backend development any more. Mostly they just fuck up the front end every few years.
You can't make hockey sticks out of just a few data points, as this author does in several of the charts. For example, the deforestation chart is based on a few data points from a UN study (where Our World in Data that the author links to cites as its source). But tree coverage has actually increased over the past 30 years according to some studies by NASA and elsewhere. For example, one 2018 paper from Nature says:

"We show that—contrary to the prevailing view that forest area has declined globally5—tree cover has increased by 2.24 million km2 (+7.1% relative to the 1982 level). This overall net gain is the result of a net loss in the tropics being outweighed by a net gain in the extratropics. Global bare ground cover has decreased by 1.16 million km2 (−3.1%), most notably in agricultural regions in Asia. Of all land changes, 60% are associated with direct human activities and 40% with indirect drivers such as climate change."

I have no idea how their team was composed previously, but it could be that they had a lot of folks who were analysts but weren't contributing much to remediating issues. It sounds like (and I have no idea again) that they're hiring a small number of security engineers (maybe even one) to not only actively look for security issues, but to also actively work to remediate them and improve code security posture as well. This function paired with a specialized external team to handle general SOC/network level security probably is a smarter investment for them right now.

> You may say "we will get an external team to do this", but will they get access to source code? Will they get access to upcoming features?

Most likely yes in my experience.
Very good explanation. I always wondered what is the equivalent of memory leak in a garbage collected language. Are there any tools for this?
> lefties might take over your twitter account is the straw that’ll break the camel’s back? Are you freaking kidding me?

You name-dropped all of those spooky nation-state related phrases, but still can't acknowledge the very real scenario where a government official's second (or forth) account on Twitter is compromised by a nation state — competing, their own, doesn't much matter — for blackmail material?

That sbouldn't be of interest?
I don't remember it being this bad. At least the UI styles issue really isn't a big deal, Samsung's one UI style is essentially just the stock Android UI style, but with a couple colors changed and maybe some larger fonts. All the buttons and interactive elements are in the same place.

And about the duplicate apps, it depends. Sometimes it actually makes sense (e.g. the two email apps, you use Gmail for your Gmail accounts and the other email app for everything else). Sometimes it doesn't :/.

But either way, it's an issue that I can easily solve myself. I can just uninstall/disable whatever apps that I don't use. Or I can install an alternative launcher and hide the apps. Or I can simply ignore the extra apps and pretend they don't exist lol. It's a one-and-done fix.

I can't do the same with the UI though like what OP is talking about.

Add your npm directories to the virus file exclusion lists of Windows Defender. Note that some of the directories may not be obvious (those under AppData for example). The speed improvements are massive for tools like these that touch lots of small files.

Also take a look at this talk on NTFS, file system speed, and how the presenter optimized the Rust installer: https://youtu.be/qbKGw8MQ0i8 . There is an awful lot that can be done to tools that deal with lots of files to perform well under Windows too.
Starts on page 33, for any one else curious at looking. Quite interesting to see what appears to be their hazard ratio relative to the state population: their members have a much higher excess death rate, and their members show minimal correlation to the vaccine rate of the state they are in—presumably reflecting that older, sicker, or more health-conscious people opt in more often to buying health care plans?

Even my 80+ year old grandparents learned Windows well enough to use for their needs. And all in all, Windows 95 has been miles ahead of Chrome OS in discoverability and UX.
I once worked for a small but very profitable tech company. The owner pretty much had to sit back and rake in the money.

He was, however, a huge asshole and alcoholic. Wasn’t able to let it function without him. Went from a couple of million dollars profit to closed when I quit. He couldn’t find other devs. Tried to outsource it but just failed.

I quit because he tried to treat me like shit. Like he treated his other employees behind the scenes (the guy was very sneaky). So I left.

Then tried to offer me a cut but I wasn’t gonna partner with such asshole. There isn’t enough money in this world.

Last I heard he was trying to launch a similar product but failing horribly.

The product wasn’t complex but required specific knowledge of different things. So it was rare to find people with that knowledge who were also effective.

Smullyan's "Forever Undecided", and Ernest Nagel's "Gödel's Proof" are the best explanations available, to my mind. I find GEB to be bloated, if all that one is interested in is Gödel. (There is much more to recommend GEB, but if all you want is Gödel's proof, see one of the above.)

I've dabbled in this area too, both for home audio and musical instrument use. The thing I like about building my own is that I know exactly what I'm getting. I can either do my own analysis to my heart's content (of course at my own risk) or plug into the DIY community. Some of the design articles I've come across indicate that there are some very serious hobbyists out there, with interest in understanding both theory and measurements. And no marketing hype.
Has anyone used this (is it me new or has it been around?) Would love to know your experiences!
This feels biased. Why is catching a disease that kills some people not gambling? I can understand why some people were concerned about this being experimental in the first month after the vaccine distribution started a year ago, though the vaccine had been pretty well studied already. Other mRNA vaccines have existed for decades and had long term studies. At this point, we’ve now done a massive global study and the vaccine has been tested more thoroughly than nearly any other vaccine on the planet. Odds of death with vaccine vs without have been pretty well and conclusively established to go down in the short term, no? Are you expecting there to be some kind of sudden mass side effect years afterward?

Long before inkjet printers were invented, the artist displayed a close-up of the color alignment test page of an inkjet printer.
Not OP, but we start small postgres instances in our Python tests with some py.test fixtures. The actual postgres binaries are provided by Bazel, so nothing relies on outside installations.

I posted this gist a while ago: https://gist.github.com/jvolkman/6e61c52d953677f66f32d8f77b1...

That said, this requires one postgres instance for each test, which is pretty heavy. So we keep our tests pretty coarse at the Bazel level (i.e. one Bazel test is actually 10+ Python tests). I've thought about other approaches, such as using a Bazel persistent worker to wrap test execution and manage a single Postgres instance with empty databases created from templates, but never got around to trying anything.

CYOA books were how I independently discovered the concept of the Depth-First Search, and (because I had a finite number of fingers i.e. bookmarks i.e. active memory) the inclination to guess which branch would end in death or an already-explored node sooner so I could prune the DAG. A lot of people learn these concepts with mazes or with FPS shooter games in story mode where they're navigating an unfamiliar 2D or 3D branching space, and the narrative version is a lot more abstract, but I think about it every time I'm teaching tree search or graph search.

Most static binaries are not completely statically linked. The system libstdc++ and libc as well as a few other things are almost always linked dynamically.

In particular, it’s almost impossible to get glibc to link statically. You need to switch to musl or another libc that supports it.
I think this starts with defining what great culture means. For me, great culture means; prioritizing a work/life balance, health (mental and physical), trust, expertise, EQ and diversity (to name a few).

That’s overly harsh. I think humanities, and people who major in them, bring value to the world, and do so in a way that CS doesn’t. But I agree that their contributions tend not to be valued financially. Given the cost of university education, it makes sense to me that people are pursuing financial rewards, even if they enjoy the humanities more.
