> Maybe therapy could help.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

You’re beginning that existential question of what matters to you and what you want to spend your time doing. As soon as you do that, uncertainty will creep into far more than just your work.

You chased the golden dream, now you “have it” and are near the top given your nice high salary. You’re not at the absolute tippy top, but you’re closer to the summit than at the base of the mountain.

Congrats, your Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is mostly met and now you’re getting mildly philosophical about your life and work.

It sounds like you’re in a state where you’ve learned to grind. It paid off, now you’re trying to keep up the pace by continuing learning to eek out that last bit of performance from your engine as you speed along.

I was there too. Voracious learning felt like I was building, finding my niche, but I was bored with what I did at work.

The solution is to go to therapy and discuss this problem directly with them. Explain how what you have put all this time into is now boring you, you feel the need to change, but are unsure how to. You want to stay motivated.

Get ready for a big change. You’re about to uncover topics like burn out, depression, expectations for life, building meaningful and fulfilling relationships… this is the meaning of life stuff.

Possibly, you’re putting too much weight of importance on your job. You may be letting it define you.

You’ll need to process all this and more. It’s going to take time. I suggest therapy so you don’t end up in the deep pot holes I did before I decided to eventually start talking to someone about the uncertainties in my life and how I handle them.

Good luck, this is a big topic you’ve just opened up for yourself.
I started doing those random weekend trips to cope with my burnout and became of those SWEs living paycheck to paycheck making $250K.

It can also isolate you from normie friends/family who obviously can’t afford to travel like this.

If you’re 20-something and sick of it all and you’ve never been to Vegas, hell yeah you should go, I’m just saying don’t sleepwalk into bad habits.
No, thinking outside the strict confines of one's own self-interest is not an idea limited to just one ideology, including that one.
People respond to incentives. If you want to change behavior, you need to change incentives.
haha.... poor russians are getting conscripted for a war they did not sign up for, haha dictator putin, if only the west could have shown the light, the proper way of doing things, oh wait, there is vietnam, most famously romanticized for the "war effort of the allies" while only feeling sorry for the millions of young lives lost on both sides but no, the war must be won at all costs, lives be damned.
is.... this the same thing what russia is doing so how are they worse than USA?
You can look into the electrostatic cleaners with a washable filter
Thank you! A lot of what's possible via the configs is really tricky to specify via a URL, sadly, so I'm thinking of making a GUI to expose the rest of the knobs and switches. That's a ways down the road, though.

I'm glad the URL variable idea paid off, it makes it very easy to bookmark and share custom versions with other people ^_^

And lifetime very intense security. You say reactor, I say dirty bomb. They can't be left unattended and they aren't generally. A few grams of radioactive material and some cheap explosives can do a lot of damage in the wrong hands.

And regular inspections and repairs. They do break down once in a while too. Basically you have a lot of moving parts that need maintenance.

And waste disposal and storage; which contrary to the popular belief is neither a solved problem nor free. Nuclear waste can't be left unattended either. Securing it in a place that is acceptable seems to be an elusive problem.

And you need specially trained staff, constant vigilance against nuclear incidents, constant drills to practice emergency procedures. Screening people to make sure they are not being exposed to radiation, etc.

All of that is cost and it adds up to quite a lot. Actually generating the power is the easy bit. It's all the rest that makes nuclear tough to do cost effectively.

In short, this is why nuclear in the current market is one of the more expensive options; even in nuclear friendly places like the US where a lot of that cost is hidden and tax sponsored or in France which just decrees an electricity price that is actually below the cost price. It's still cost. Take away the government support and these plants go bankrupt in no time at all.

In theory it can probably be done a bit cheaper and there are some companies working on that obviously. But I'm not really aware of companies pitching solutions anywhere close to solar/wind pricing, even at their current price levels. Which as I was arguing earlier would in any case be a mistake as they are very likely to come down by at least 10x more over the lifetime of whatever plants people are currently planning to build. There are many good reasons to still build a few. But energy price isn't one of those reasons.
I agree with everything except for:

> Nobody has a problem adding classroom work onto concealed carry permits to ensure carriers know the laws. Nobody has a problem with carriers also being required to qualify to ensure they can accurately shoot their weapon.

This is untrue. Half the country has constitutional carry established. I carry every day and do not have a permit. I get myself to the range frequently enough to be proficient. I do not need the government to "allow" me to practice my rights.
Someone packages it for opensuse. It has been stable for me on tumbleweed for a couple of years.
You can if you first come up with a list of topics, and then once you have that list, randomly assign each of those topics to one of the three categories.
Vercel Introduces Commenting on Preview Deployments

Take a look at Linear. We're all in.
As simple as Pivotal, none of the bloat of Atlassian tools.

You can set Linear up to almost emulate a Pivotal experience, but I personally love the keybinding first user experience of Linear. It makes it incredible fast to navigate, and its easy for all members to view the status of projects.
We're not talking about someone who's doing better than you because they worked harder or had a better idea or took a useful risk that paid off. We're just talking about someone who paid less tax than everyone else in the same situation by using a trick that is potentially criminal tax evasion and getting away with it. Calling for any unintended loophole in the tax rules to be closed is hardly "spite" or "desiring punishment".
No, I did not miss the point.

I have never, in my entire life, seen someone who is unhappy with their job somehow find happiness without changing jobs. And it's not good enough to find hobbies or devote time to family -- if you don't like your job, you don't like 1/3 of your waking hours and you should really do something about that. If the job is the source of unhappiness, staying in the job will perpetuate the problem.

Furthermore, the OP is in a very privileged position and has many options available, as does anyone else who works at a large California tech company.
In 2018, I got on the local news in Seattle for wearing an N95 on a bad smoke day.

Probably wouldn't be so newsworthy today.

:) Naming projects is hard, so I tend to give it as little thought as possible. I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2 while writing the first version of this so I just named it after Arthur Morgan, the main protagonist.
Can you explain how Rust's string types would be different if there was no "legacy of C strings" to deal with?
You underestimate how ceremonial battles were.
Congratulations to everyone who worked on this! I'm definitely going to have to give this a chance. The fact that it doesn't require any large dependencies shipped with the application is a huge draw, and with native UI options in Go being a little lacking, it would suffice to say this option is currently very enticing.

As for my part, I've regrettably been pretty absent on go-webview2 lately, working on other projects and life, but it's cool to see some initiative on porting OpenWebView2Loader bits to Go thanks to Wails. For anyone wondering what this is, on Windows right now go-webview2 avoids CGo by linking directly to WebView2Loader.dll and implementing COM bits in Go. However, to make matters a little complicated, this DLL is also embedded into the binary and then loaded with a memory implementation of the Windows loader, in order to avoid needing to separately ship this DLL. If this sounds horrific, I agree; my intent was always to reverse engineer WebView2Loader and port it to Go, but I only ever finished the reversing part. In the meantime, it has been ported to Pascal, and maybe soon, it will be ported to Go, too. It's pretty uneventful for the end user, but I think it will lead to better robustness in the end, so I am excited for it.
A travel department? I work in consulting at $BigTech. We go into Concur and book our travel. Sure we have a policy about how much we can spend on hotels. But if I book “our of policy” for any reason, my explanation can be as simple as “I wanted to be in walking distance to the site” and have never gotten push back. Especially when it was for in house traffic (ie not billing a customer)
This is too narrow of a focus. Yes the Wire says all that about the drug trade but it also says quite a bit about the general nature of institutions and the people in them. The broader point is that the whole society is like "the game" and people are playing various roles in it. Whether it's a newspaper, union, police department, drug organization, politics, schools, and so on there's a fundamental dynamic between individual success, organizational success, and the general good.

Some care only about their success (Rawls/The Reporter who makes up stuff)

Some care about the greater good but sacrifice it for personal success (Mayor Littlefinger)

Some want the organization to succeed (Sgt Fatso)

Some want to do good but are thwarted (Daniels & the editor who's name I can't remmeber)

Some do bad and throw it all away trying to do good (McNulty)

And there's many more. Ultimately that's what the show is about.
nano is such a lifesaver. It's pure Unix – does one job really well, doesn't try to be half an IDE like vi and friends, just a friendly little text editor that pretty much everyone can use within minutes. Nothing better for quick edits on remote systems beside never having to do quick edits on remote systems.
Love TimescaleDB, actually used it for one of our recent product feature launches: https://webapp.io/blog/storing-millions-of-vm-metrics-with-t...
For noise, you use insulated flexable duct snaked back and forth in several s-curves.
> Fraud is at an all-time high too, do I get a live feed of the private offices of high-ranking financial executives?

Given the corruption revelations / charges that have come out of City Hall, SF residents should get live feeds (with audio) of all offices of city officials.
My preferred mask is ineffective at stopping smoke. It fits on my face such that I breath air through gaps by the sides of my nose; this provides no relief from smoke. I think it would block most drops of spittle released from my mouth while talking or breathing, but provides me with negligible protection against breathing in aerosols or smoke. Masks that work properly are too uncomfortable for me to wear.
'leapt on his charger' implies that he attacked very quickly, perhaps after the battle had officially started but both sides were still in fact glaring at each other and getting ready. I imagine it being a bit similar to a boxing match which begins when the bell rings, but opponents will typically touch gloves as a sign of respect before actually fighting. Sometimes a fighter will use this moment to sneak in an unexpected attack and catch his opponent off guard - well within the rules, but considered poor sportsmanship.
Money matters in that you can spend it building and operating nukes, or building renewables. You can't spend the same dollar on both, but the dollar spent on renewables gets you more kW than the same dollar spent on nukes.

We will need every non-carbon kW we can muster.
Agreed 100% with you, this seeks to kick up a fuss for no reason, when hardened Americans already know how to deal with it.
I am appreciative of the following software.

Python, easy to build algorithms and web services in flask/gunicorn

Java, for performance and
multithreaded code

Jupyter notebook, easy to prototype algorithms and code

Postgresql

Firefox

Chrome, I use Microsoft Edge

Windows - I love Linux for servers but for my consumer hardware, for ease and low maintenance I prefer Windows and run Ubuntu in virtual machines

IntelliJ, such a great IDE
I must have misremembered, it looks like the cars came from the factory with speed limiters installed.

Sorry for the mixup but this actually is a good point to consider, this is a platform moderating as it sees fit, according to their observations on when handling becomes less capable at speed.

What Florida wants to do is the equivalent of telling carmakers they cannot put speed limiters on their cars, putting more people in danger. If I want my children to have speed limiters in the cars they drive, well, guess I’d be out of luck!

It goes the other way too: it could also be used to force all carmakers to install speed limiters, and never let people even race at a track. As the original commenter I replied to tried to use as a point against the idea.

The problem with the way they framed it is they tried to make it seem like allowing platforms to moderate as they see fit removes everyone’s choice, which is the opposite of the outcome.
Anecdotally, I live in a slightly rural area close to a major city. Starlink is pretty slow.

Using the roaming feature and taking that dish on a road trip, let me tell you, starlink was amazingly fast.

The closer you are to nowhere the better it is.

Its really just the same problems cellular operators experience. They just need more sectors and higher density in crowded areas.
Great write-up about the troubleshooting process!

Regarding the exact case, there is a slightly deeper issue. XFS enqueues inode changes to the journal buffers twice: the mtime change is scheduled prior to the actual data being written, and the inode with the updated file size is placed in the journal buffers just after. If the drive is overloaded, the relatively tiny (just a few megs) journal buffers may overflow with mtime changes, and the file system becomes pathologically synchronous. However, since 4.1something, XFS supports the `lazytime` mounting option that delays the mtime updates until a more substantial change is written. Without it, the journal queue fills up at roughly the speed of your write() calls; with it, at the pace of the actual data hitting the disk, so even in highly congested conditions your application can write asynchronously -- that is, until dirty_ratio stops your system dead in its tracks.
(Disclaimer: I haven't written assembly for a while so this may not be true any more)

One cool thing about ARM is that vector instructions run in parallel with the regular CPU pipeline. You can do some neat optimizations where you interleave sequential part of an algorithm runs while the SIMD instructions are executing. However if you do this yourself the code is going to be super non-portable. In general, knowing that something is always going to be running on a Switch lets you dig deeper into architecture specific optimizations, since x86 has so much variance it would take a ton of effort to really dial in performance on the whole menagerie of Intel and AMD CPUs
It seems to me that the people you describe as being on "autopilot" tend to be people that, for whatever reason, do not place a lot of value on the concept of improving oneself (at least, improving oneself in the manner you described, via constant learning, curiosity, and open-mindedness). These people simply have other priorities/worries taking up their time - making money, taking care of family, etc. I myself feel much like you - if I'm not constantly studying something or learning a new skill, I feel like I am stagnating. However, it is hard to make the case for people to constantly accumulate knowledge when most people have the knowledge they need to get by and accomplish their goals. What benefit is it for me to practice piano as a software engineer? I get a profound sense of satisfaction at seeing my skill improve and deeper appreciation for professional musicians, but is it necessary for me to do so? What does the average person really get out of reading, say, Plato's dialogues, when it comes to things like establishing a stable life, climbing the corporate ladder, or paying their bills, if they already believe they have a grasp on things? What is the case to be made for continuous improvement over improvement to the point of necessity, and no further?

LXD containers are built up using commands. I have one bash script for every container.
Having done Rails for about a decade, I believe that it's just the name. It's not only a reference to Rails, but the main author lives in Wales (the country), so it's a nod to that as well.

Wails is really well done, and pretty minimal, and (to me) doesn't feel like Rails at all.
That's already how the world works. The bridge design company takes out insurance reflecting their liability. If something happens, they pay. If their supplier messed up a component, they can turn around and sue the supplier. Licensed professional engineers are already personally responsible for their projects to some extent, which can be very big and complicated. They're covered by professional liability insurance. All of this has been around for a long time.
Those filters are probably stripping all of the pollen out of the air too. Aren't you worried about giving your kids allergic reactions to being outside?
My understanding of the situation in SF is that many things simply are not illegal and/or not enforced (for example, stealing bellow $950 in value). If that is the case why would police need surveilance cameras if they don't enforce basic laws in the first place? Can anyone from SF or who understands the situation explain?

Don't. People are way too tolerant of serial liars, psychopaths and rapacious corporations.
living near a busy road or highway?

Or, to stay in the same realm as wildfire smoke, living in a place where lots of wood stoves without filter? According to numbers I once saw seen in 'typical' small villages with no heavy industry, pollution from that is the biggest contributer, more than traffic and farming combined. Not 24x7 though.

I presume the GP is referring to the GTA V fix, which was only 18 months ago [0].. having been ever present in a game that had been out for over 6 years!

I think it'll be referred to for years to come as an example of not only how seemingly simple decisions can come back to haunt you, but also how patient users can be if they really want to play something..

Have to say that Ubuntu LTS with the Firefox web browser drastically reduced the number of support calls I'd get from my parents, who used Windows 7 before. Of course, as soon as you start messing with packages or doing more advanced things, then more can go wrong. But it's really good for the web.

Management broadly assumed the pandemic boom was the new normal, but now they are sacrificing labor to placate the wrath of Wall street gods in order to keep their jobs.
I'm using LXC just to have a painless way to have a second SSH server (for SFTP) running on the computer that has different usernames and passwords.

Literally all that is installed is Alpine Linux and the SSH server. There's a symbolic link to get to the shared files.
I think this is sometimes true but that for developers there are very good reasons to not prefer Windows. Mostly that local software management sucks on it unless you go with WSL, which is really good but does still have some limitations (speed, GPU compatibility, etc. - in general having to manage effectively two parallel filesystems gets in the way), and is at the end of the day essentially still Linux.

Sure you can use e.g. chocolatey or even cygwin but these are a bit hit and miss at the best of times.

Powershell is fine but a bit verbose for day to day terminal use compared to bash or nicer variants like zsh.

Also apparently I set up my last dual boot configuration in such a way that Windows 10 decided that it owned my Ubuntu partition, but only during an upgrade which happened several months after the initial installation. This ruined an actively used install. Not exactly an ideal user experience. Ok, at a stretch maybe it was a bit my fault for not learning that the Windows 10 update system was a bit more... Ambitious than previous versions of Windows, but an explicit warning prompt before it happened wouldn't have gone amiss.
As long as the posting of subscriber links in places like this is occasional, I believe it serves as good marketing for LWN - indeed, every now and then, I even do it myself.

Only if you make the automation public. Plenty of data input guys didn't mention they automated their job and raked in a full FTE working a few hours a week.

Doesn't work as well these days since most knowledge gets shared and a lot of devs are too eager to reveal their cards.
I built a small thing in Wails, and was really quite happy with the experience, and got some great support when I had questions.
I don't think there will ever be an upload. That "AI boom" is nothing more than the capability to train very large networks, and (that's indeed a first) a recurrent one. But it doesn't resemble our way of being and thinking.

But your variation makes it pertinently clear that it's not "us" who's going to visit those planets, but something else entirely. And why would we need a "super habitable" planet if we're just electrons in a few chips, anyway (ignoring the fact that electronics tends to die in 20 to 30 years of use, but hey)?
