Honestly, it sounds like you need to work on your work-life balance.

The issues that lead to burnout in the first place are typically boundary issues, and with many people, that often arises out of being too agreeable.

You might find a few videos by Jordan Peterson on youtube about being too agreeable and what you can do to address that.

Just because you stop working in the field doesn't mean those issues will go away. I bet you are one of those 120% all the time workers, and feel bad when you aren't doing your best.

You have to fix that.

Set aside time for you that doesn't involve anything related to computers, and use that time for you.

Find some coping mechanisms like meditation (which ironically is more about learning to still spurious thoughts than actual relaxation).

Then get back to it, learn how to communicate and handle conflict effectively so it doesn't fuck with your zen. There are a lot of shitty people out there, you can't let the bastards grind you down.

Part of that is when you interview people for a job, its two sided. You interview them just as much as they interview you.

Things like vacation, on-call rotation, overtime, inventions agreements, and potential environment and resources available to you if you were to be hired are all potential walkaways. You should know about conditional agreements.

Positions with certain phrases have hidden meanings. Find the red flags and practice walking away.

There is nothing more empowering than walking away from a situation you know is bad. If they try to be abusive (i.e. you request a reasonable time to review legal agreements they want you to sign, and they rescind the offer immediately). The proper response is: The offer and conditional acceptance is mutually rescinded.

There are two books by Patterson I found immensely helpful.
Crucial Conversations, and Crucial Accountability.

Hopefully that provides some direction.
Did you read the article? It's right in the article:

I mostly agree - but running WordPress in a browser doesn't actually solve any of those issues - it's not intended for hosting anything publicly visible, as it can't persist to a remote DB. To make it capable of doing so, ou would likely end up with a server layer somewhere, minimally to manage authz, which puts it back in the realm of equivalent to a SPA.
this has large potential as a promo piece.

this device destruction also looks like a political statement of sorts similar to taking a knee, and if it is, enjoys protection as speech, i think fines could be met with suit
Many poorly educated folk maybe. All other chains were already less profitable and had a small fraction of Ethereum's hashrate. Even 5% of ETH's hashrate moving to them is plenty to make them unprofitable for most. This was never a likely outcome.
They're not "provably purchased". All we know is that the person has "receipts" of some sort. Fraudsters generate receipts too.
There's a time delay before people recognize social problems. The trouble is that ideas often persist in public discourse long after they are expired.

If I had to point to one intervention it is that we don't have enough men working in early childhood education. Because boys grow up seeing almost exclusively women teachers for their first few years they get an unambiguous impression that "education is a girl thing".

Many colleges now practice affirmative actions for boys because otherwise they'd be greatly outnumbered by girls

https://www.businessinsider.com/college-affirmative-action-b...

as girls don't want to go to a school which is 70% girls.

If young woman find this undesirable, it's furthmore predictable that many of them will be blindsided by a perfectly predictable situation 20 years from now because women are interested in marrying up in social status as opposed to marrying down. This will be impossible for most of them if they are college educated at a much higher rate than boys. Women who put off childbearing past age 40 tend to discover rather suddenly that time limits on fertility apply to them so there is likely to be a severe panic about this... When it is way too late.
Scaling to trillion-parameter model training on AWS
The explanation I've always heard is they want the lower frequency strings to be physically lower than the higher frequency strings. So the low E string is on bottom and the high E string is on top. Also, it helps to know the high E string is numbered string 1 and the low E string is numbered string 6.

A long time ago a professor described learning as "getting used to".

Funny coincidence to the article, it was at the beginning of a lecture about quantum mechanics.

There's a third option for when the sum is really huge, like more money than you'll ever see in your life: find a good lawyer who can arrange transferring the money into some kind of trust fund, perhaps in a different country, that benefits your children, then wait for the knock on the door, expect to go to prison for a bit, but your children may be allowed to keep the money, and they might support you when you come out of jail. I think I read about a woman in New York successfully doing something like that with an accidental transfer from the United Nations, though I might be misremembering.
Thanks! It's an interesting concept and has a lot of potential.

It's already going in the other direction. Many colleges are admitting boys with lower test scores than girls

because otherwise girls would be driven away by the nonexistence of a dating life.
well sure but if you are running a high powered street bike, the truck is only one of many immediate dangers..

I believe that license plates used to be made of metal with reflective coating and ridges (made by prison labor?) but today on the street I am seeing what looks like white paper with black lettering?
That's a nice result. If we rearrange the products in the exponent we get

2πix πi2x ( πi ) 2x
e -> e -> (e )

Where e^(πi) is -1. That shows there is something to the turns units; we can express the analog of the Euler identity using exponentiation using a base and factor which are integers.

Huge selling point for turns, IMHO.
Yes, but this is exactly the point: These companies want to start open and free, to get as many people as possible to use their product. And then, later, they want to make money from it.

This is the "bait & switch". It is planned right from the beginning, the tricky part is that you need to make the "it's completely free" phase as long as possible (using borrowed cash, investor money, whatever) to have as large a userbase as possible. And THEN switch.

It's literally the definition of "bait & switch"
I've recently been spending a fair amount of time trying to improve query performance on RDS. This includes reviewing and optimizing particularly nasty queries, tuning PG configuration (min_wal_size, random_page_cost, work_mem, etc). I am using a db.t3.xlarge with general purpose SSD (gp2) for a web server that sees moderate writes and a lot of reads. I know there's no real way to know other than through testing, but I'm not clear on which instance type best serves our needs — I think it may very well be the case that the t3 family isn't fit for our purposes. I'm also unclear on whether we ought to switch to provisioned IOPS SSD. Does anyone have any general pointers here? I know the question is pretty open-ended, but would be great if anyone has general advice from personal experience?
I'd have thought the Valve head was 3D art, not from a photographic source. I guess maybe that level of detail wasn't possible when it was created though?
I've always been kind of fascinated by the state of GPUs immediately prior to fully-programmable shaders becoming the norm. It particularly comes up in the world of emulation, where often those weird fixed-function pipelines were abused in interesting ways to produce particular effects, and now someone has to figure out how to write a shader for a modern GPU that can perfectly replicate what that old pipeline block used to do, including all the edge-cases around overflow, saturation, and so on.

Unfortunately the inline demos seem to now be broken, but I found this article a fascinating treatise on how Gamecube and Wii games do things like render water:

I think the key point here is that we would like to incentivise a society where people can be sustainably compensated for their time while still making the fruits of their labour available to all for mostly unrestricted use. Rather than ending up in a world where one either:

- Is well-compensated while working for a for-profit company where the codebase is proprietary.

- Works in open source but is poorly paid or not paid at all.
What other implementation will come to fruition? AFAICT the Metaverse is a shoddy VR clone of Second Life.

The Metaverse is already a bust, essentially a stillborn fetus. The market doesn't actually want it.

-1 For Google Fi. I traveled to 2 countries on their list of "compatible" places where data should work, it didn't. Called support, no explanation. Bought a cheap local sim card instead, which always makes more sense to do. Now that Whatsapp and iMessage both let you "roam" on a different sim while keeping your phone number, there's no reason to try and roam with your original plan.
Fair point. Although the Daily Mail does have to issue corrections and retractions if IPSO finds them in breach of Clause 1. And I don't know if there's an easy way to actually measure the impact on life expectancy.
I'm guessing not in your favor either?

I miss the days of setting the clock/date to avoid time bombs in software builds. "back in my day, things were so much easier!" now, I would not be surprised if the teams working on these kinds of lock outs are larger than the teams building the product.

This doesn't really bother me. As noted, the T&Cs specifically say your data may be used in research. I'm also not entirely sure how they're supposed to improve recommendation algorithms — which we're all clamoring for them to do — without running some form of experiments with them. The question to answer is, did they do it as ethically as they could? Just based on this article, I don't see any unpardonable sins.
Looking at the current state of GDPR compliance I’m not sure this would actually be a good experience for most people.
This is excellent (the idea, I don't know anything about prequel!), and a much needed tool to support a reasonable trend. I fully support B2B companies taking on the responsibility to make data more readily available for analytics, beyond just exposing a fragile API.

Also all EU sim cards roam in the whole of the EU automatically.
Murder rates are also down substantially since the 1990s. The leading theories include reduced lead exposure and fewer neglected and unwanted children thanks to reproductive healthcare. In either case, the missing murderers would’ve been more impulsive, more careless, and easier to catch. Many of the murders that go unsolved today, likely would’ve gone unsolved in the past, too.

Plus, some of the cleared murders in the past were simply blamed on innocent black men by a racist system. Look at the Innocence Project for examples. We still have a problem with all that, but surely it’s not as bad as it was in the 1970s.

Another contributing factor is that so much forensics and police resources are wasted on victimless drug crimes. It’s an lot easier to bust a corner boy selling drugs than to track down a murderer.
Lure is intended to bring the AUR to all distros
Not really. It’s a good idea but hardly the most important.
The cost of the part doesn't matter. The cost of my time does.

For common components, I need a parametric part so that I can instantly change the length, size or type. If my M12 becomes an M16, I want all the taps and C'Bores to adjust without any further input from myself.

For more expensive parts, it's nice to have a homegrown parametric part to minimize potential missorders.
Personally, I wish fewer companies would store passwords in plaintext!
If only there was a way to know which methods the object has. We could call such concept something like auto-discovery or magic-completion.
I have been using Troff for about 25 years. I migrated from GNU Troff (groff) to Heirloom Troff because the latter has a very great support for typography and micro-typography.

Not only does it use Knuth's algorithm for typesetting, but it also includes many features unknown to LaTeX (you can even typeset paragraphs with constant spacing between words if you agree to put your extra spaces between letters or even by hiding them in applying a tiny horizontal zoom to your glyphs!). Support for arbitrary OTF fonts is much easier than with LaTeX also.

It sounds like, from your description, that it’s somewhat like the (very HN popular) Tailscale VPN but it can also operate at “a higher level” and be built right into applications instead of needing OS networking privatives?
Ask HN: Why don’t companies offer a strike price of $0.01 on options?
There are plenty of companies without liquidity where I’d be happy to accept options as compensation… Except with strike prices as high as they are, exercising them becomes painful.

My current job would require over $100k to exercise my options. That’s a massive hit to my base pay, effectively cutting my salary by like 15%. In my salary negotiation I basically had to value those options at $0 because of this.

Why don’t companies just set the strike price at $0.01? It doesn’t cost them anything does it? That would make options way more appealing, and allow them to decrease base pay and thereby save cash.

Is there some practical reason why the strike price has to be so high?
magnetic monopoles

Not my area, but I noticed this, and iirc it was Dirac that showed that the existence of magnetic monopolies implied quantization of charge. I don't think he was a quack or a poser or just using that work to get tenure, so I don't know what to think about the rest of the article

From an end-user point of view rendering engines are mostly indistinguishable. On the other hand the whole UI and speed of loading of pages are very much noticeable and this a developer can directly control.

Note that I'm strongly opposed to a lot of practices by social media networks (I believe LinkedIn falls into the category these days), but I guess any A/B test that they run could be considered a "social experiment on 20M users".

Unsure if the particular tests mentioned are worthy of attention - think there are probably other more relevant controversial practices.
Microsoft could be argued as one, but Microsoft could be also disregarded because they simply have acquired Microsoft Flight Simulator, Age of Empires and Halo.
Oh, thanks for the recommendation on Equilibrium. Somehow that one went under my radar until now.

I think we need less programming languages, and less evolution in their development. So that actually doing something with said languages becomes interesting again ;)

> First of all, it's been sustainable for a long time -- what changed?

Big failures like OpenSSL fiasco happened - where sure, company was sustainable but due to skewed priorities coz of funding (companies that founded it founded features that from perspective of any other company were bloat, and not enough work went into modernizing the code) the code was shit and full of traps.

And it's still a fact that vast majority of developers of stuff used everywhere wouldn't be able to do it as full or even part time job for financial reasons.

All while the corporate is pushing same "BSD/MIT good, GPL bad" agenda, coz they don't need to contribute anything back to stuff they take

Trying to honor the unnamed Archives person's request for anonymity :) you can find it in my comment history if you search back far enough
We recently converted all our projects to Github Actions, and while it really brings a lot of convenience it also feels to me like a very brittle solution with lots of gotchas and messy API surfaces.

Of course, the nature of running various commands on virtual machines and shells is inherently messy, but GHA could have done a lot to hide that. Instead I feel like I'm forced mix YAML, bash, Powershell and various higher-level scripting languages (that came with the projects) in an unholy concoction that is hard to get right (return codes, passing values and escaping directly comes to mind) and that is even harder to debug, due to the nature of running somewhere else (act helps, a little, but it doesn't properly replicate the GHA environment).

I kind of wished I could write all my workflows cross-platform from start with some well known but fullfledged scripting language. (Which of course I could, and just use GHA to call that script). What options are out there to make this whole thing less brittle?

Is the content of your comment that you are explaining ad hominem to me and that vanderZwan's question requires mutual trust? Yes, I fully understand this.

The only thing I am trusting here is that vanderZwan is trying to accurately report their experiences. I trust, since they say it is done in good-faith discussions, that they are sensitive to the risk of this being perceived as being ad hominem and that in-person they ask the question in an appropriate way.

To be clear, I never said that I would respond well to the question. My point is that it is a large leap to go from what vanderZwan said to that this is for the purpose of dismissing someone.

Also to be clear, I think it's valid for P5fRxh5kUvp2th to think that this sort of question is well outside of what is ever respectful to ask. I just happen to think it's wrong to assume that disrespect is vanderZwan's intent.
Isn't it just a matter of /D_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=0?
Zero Trust Network means a network without an implicit trust. Just because a device is present on a corporate office network doesn't mean it has access to all company resources.

It's very common to have site-to-site connections and allow everything in-between or slightly limit things in between. Sometimes it even just allow-listing certain IPs like office public IP or employees home IPs.

In a zero trust environment there are no such assumptions made, in fact, the only assumption that is made is that the network is already breached. No one is implicitly trusted, every access to a resource must authenticate, audit logs must be secured.

It’s so simple, I love it.
Asking how someone reached a conclusion is not dismissing their points. What is the potency of affirmative action? How is it a really good example?
"Server" is a false distinction in this context, as I run it on my desktop - and can do so across Windows, Linux or Mac. So, for the developer workflow use case - what benefit do I really get by running it in the browser? There we are, back to it being a solution without a problem.

Aside from that - this thing uses SQLite for a specific reason - the browser can't connect directly to a remote DB, so any content you create in this instance is visible to precisely no one else. As such, it's certainly not an answer to actual publishing use cases either.
That might apply to Peskov's son, I don't see how it's valid for Snowden.

Incredible that the same thing could be said with lots of perceived "inequality" but in such case "systemic forces" are the cause and personal responsibility is to be avoided.

"in thier persons" and "in their houses"

My computer, or phone, or whatever is in my house or on my person therefore it applies.

The spirit of the amendment is abundantly clear (despite Scalia's ignorance on this), and there is zero ambiguity. Anyone arguing that technically it doesn't apply to <insert technology that the writers could not possibly have fathomed here>, is someone who simply wants to subvert the constitution. I don't see how anyone could argue otherwise on any sort of solid ground, the spirit is so crystal clear the writers couldn't not have done a better job.
Whatever the response is, there should be a way for every single person who got their account suspended without committing actual fraud to get their account back.
Haha the Brainfuck analogy was funny. Note that in programming languages it looks like Log denotes Ln. Anyway, Log_b(x) = Log_a(x) / Lob_a(b), so we're covered.
