The answer doesn't always have to be larger governments and more oversight.

Users can switch to another OS if they really cared that Apple refuses to use industry standards, hamstrings their own mobile browser to bolster app sales, and violates antitrust laws with their ban on third party browser rendering engines.
I agree. I get similar feedback on my site and it's written entirely with React and Next.js

I have fun using that text stack, and with Next every page is just delivered as static HTML.

“There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”

― Woody Allen, Annie Hall
It is because they are always very energetic. This, together with random quantum behavior, allows the “energetic-muon” to decay (not decompose) into different particles (usually electron etc.).

This is a quantum effect, and it is not a decomposition but the disappearing of the muon and the appearing of the others (+ a lot of energy in between, coming and going).

An electron is an electron. However, when moving between orbitals in an atom, it “gets” a photon if it jumps “out”, it “loses” a photon when jumping “in”. But it is just an electron (with more or less energy).
well, I read it on my phone... Definitely not easy to compose, or write at all though
Endlesss allows you to do the same - build out sketches and transfer them to your DAW of choice for later production.

Didn't notice the NFT and Web3 stuff, but I've been an Endlesss user since the beginning and only skip straight to the "Jam" page in the app, ignoring everything else ..
I'll say what I said to Edith on twitter:

This will relegate Signal to niche use.

I don't even know if I will keep it and I've been a booster for years. I'll have to remember which ~5 of my contacts use Signal, and mentally update that list when/if any join?

Can't take on that cognitive load for everyday comms.

Dont have kids if you're poor.
I am inclined to say that burnout is so widespread because we are managing engineers badly.

Try to manage artist, designer, song writer, actor, or stand up comedian and they will burn out as well.
How about Brexit impact ?
Honestly, I feel this is a bit of a black-and-white view that grossly oversimplifies things. And I am downright insulted by the last sentence to be frank.

Blaming shitty management on extroverted techies. Are you sure about that?
> in particular when it comes to electronics and electronic components.

I have the opposite stance. I buy components nearly entirely on Aliexpress, as it turns out that on Amazon you get the exact same stuff, with the difference that the shipping might be faster (but not always) and the price is much higher.

I'm still pretty young so this might not apply, but I tried to skip university and make it as a freelancer. Worked out fine money wise, but got severe burn out working on a project that I shouldn't have taken on in the first place, but needed the money.

I recovered fine, but it was pretty brutal. For a while I couldn't even look at code without getting nauseous and a having a splitting headache. I'm not exaggerating here, it was like I had lost the ability to comprehend code at all. Code was just meaningless symbols randomly arranged without any rhyme or reason.

What helped eventually is about ~6 Months of completely distancing myself from Programming. No programming for work, no programming for fun, not keeping up with current developments, nothing. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford this, but I truly believe that a 6 month long hard brain reset was needed. Wouldn't have worked in 3 months. Other comments here echo a similar sentiment and you'll find other blog posts and personal experiences on the internet with the same conclusion.

On the upside, coming back after 6 months and discovering that I stopped getting physically ill trying to code was an amazing moment. I fell in love with programming all over again. Only this time I learned to listen to my body and
started prioritizing health and happiness over a steep career and financial success.

Honestly I don't think many people would be impressed by my professional output (especially not on this site), but I can honestly say that I've never loved it as much as I do now and I can rest easy knowing that it's sustainable and doesn't negatively impact my mental health.
> My spouse is 39 so the window has closed for biological children, more or less.

Not necessarily. My wife was in her late 30s when we had our (and her, and my) first kid, and just shy of 40 when we had our second. Yes, older mothers are at somewhat-greater risk of things like Down's Syndrome, but both our kids are now in their early 30s, quite-normal adults with S.O.s of their own.

So talk to your wife — and (as Dear Abby always says) also talk to a licensed mental health professional as well: As others have noted, you might well have something else going on that you're interpreting as regret over childlessness.
Show HN: Dido – .NET framework to facilitate distributed computing
The project site contains more documentation, but the essential concept tries to answer the question: "What if there was an API similar to the .NET Task Parallel Library but for invoking expressions on other machines, instead of just other threads?". The goal is to allow developers to write, debug, and verify a normal monolithic application, start up a few generic .NET "runner" services, and then quickly and easily add support for distributed execution of specific portions of their code on those runners, without the traditional overhead that comes with explicitly writing and orchestrating multiple unique services.

I had this idea years ago but only recently found time to create a side-project to explore it. While I do not have as much free time as I'd like to work on it, it is now functional enough as a proof-of-concept to share and see if maybe there is value to someone else. At this point I'm simply curious whether the core concept has been implemented this way before, and to decide whether the idea itself along with this initial implementation are worth continued investment of time and energy to improve.

Thanks to anyone providing feedback or comments!
I think the generic question is how to handle regret.
>If the US was really serious about microchips being critical infrastructure we'd want over production. We have more roads than makes sense, we should have more chips on-hand than our critical power and data infrastructure needs to be rebuilt in the event of a catastrophe.

You don't really want over production, you only want the factories and employees who know how to do the job.

That's the USA's mistake.

China's capitalist zones with very low taxes attracted all the factories because at the same time the USA was increasing taxes on the factories. What is left in the USA? Nothing. How do you wage war when you dont hold cards?
Hate to be that guy, but this reference has "gone corpo" a long time ago and somwhat tired now. A number of companies/products have used it for "cool points" with now middle-aged men over the years.
The more trustworthy Chinese companies are also refusing to do business with Russia so that they don't get sanctioned and lose business with the rest of the world. That leaves Russia with the worst of the worst.
This post is so condescending. You not only tell people their ambitions outside of raising children are childish, but then go on to exclaim how much they'll regret by not having children because of some advantageous perspective change.

This is worse than listening to the rust evangelicals.
Two very different answers for you.

1: Forth. I've seen Forth on things that I didn't even realize were computers. Since an interpreter can run in a few hundred bytes of ROM, that's not too surprising.

2: Rust. Rust can run on 8/16 bit micros, client side web (WASM), and on iOS, along with all of the more conventional and easier targets. Probably the only popular universal language for 2022 targets, although there are Rust competitors like Zig that may falsify that statement.

And in a nice coincidence, both languages are fun.
I find the secret is realizing all the “time” you had without kids was largely squandered and you have just as much time now with kids you just have to manage it more (this is especially true once they hit 4 and beyond). I have two kids myself, still get tons of time to work on projects or game. I cook dinner every night, help with chores, and have time with my partner. We just have to manage it more than when we didn’t have kids. That’s the secret to me.

> Which programming language other than C is available for most platforms?

There is almost no platform java can't run on. Rust is a bit esoteric, but it can run anywhere you have a working libc.
> Signal team is also actively hostile to any 3rd party client usage of their service.

"actively" is a big word, there are several 3rd party clients and no big push to make them stop. They don't want widespread 3rd party clients though.
Well, we could go back to Sonic Foundry Acid, pre-Ableton, and even further as necessary .. what I refer to though, is the iOS User Experience, which is shockingly similar for an app built a year or two after Endlesss had already established primacy as a clip-based collaborative music-making app.

Great link though, thanks for sharing that! Very definitely a deep rabbit hole for music technology boffins to inspect ..
I burned out like 15 years ago.

I was lucky that I had money to quit working completely for about a year and go backpacking.

When I started again, I did so in a different company but in the same field.

The biggest change I made and which I think was key to find a balance was to enforce boundaries.

Before I had a job that had lots of midnight on-call wake ups and no set hours.

In the new place I forced myself to show up at the office at 9am so I could walk out at 5pm without anyone having anything to grumble about. This was not the norm in the company but as I started doing that from day one, it was accepted.

Whenever anyone asked me to stay late I referred them to my manager for them to approve paid overtime. Most of the time the discussion stopped there, but there were a few times when they decided to pay.

It's incredible how much time for yourself and friends-family is left over when you clock-off at 5pm always.

(France) When I was a kid, 40 years ago, we had a good consumer protection. The warranty period was 1 year.

Now we have the same good protections, the warranty period is 2 years.

So some countries had it for a very long time, it is rather a matter of culture I believe.
If you are looking for a language that is portable across platforms and widespread/long-lived enough to make learning it deep worth it, i think C is unmatched and will probably stay like this for a while.
I don't know, I've never used any of the wallet stuff in Endlesss .. for me its just a great way to work on song ideas with my friends while we're all out and about in the world and not sharing a studio session together.

Autistic here as well, tremendous burnout and trauma from my last job. It took me a lot of writing / reconnecting with why I love technology in the first place, and a 3 months sabbatical at the recurse center to… feel like I’m back. A big part in this is also the very privileged fact that I have total freedom and trust at my current work, which allows me to follow my holistic way of thinking and not having to do hierarchy and workplace cosplay. I do work from home, and it feels like I’m back in my days of freelancing.

If I ended up in the same situation again, but say, without that job, I would tell my older self:

- take a big break, and reconnect with your enthusiasm. The book “Unmasking Autism” has a lot of concrete ways to do that, since it can be hard for us. It also talks a lot about autistic burnout

- go back to freelancing, or find a job where I have lots of freedom to follow my routine, and where I am valued for my thinking and communication style

- reconnect with writing code for fun. Programming is legitimately the one activity that fully calms me and replenishes me. I stopped doing any side-programming for 10 years, and reviving that atrophied part of myself has been absolutely invigorating.

- get monster ear protection. This has to be one of the revelations: noise stresses me out sooo much, and I have been repressing it for so long. I now have -35 dB + noise cancelling earplugs and can basically live in complete silence, in the noisiest environment. I can finally think things true the way I want to.

(edit: formatting)
Regarding elven ethnicity, I am perfectly willing to allow creative license on this point. We’re talking about immortal fantasy creatures. Being consistent with real-life human genetics and evolution is a low priority. Particularly as there’s nothing in Tolkien’s source material that strongly defines elves as exclusively fair-skinned. The mentions of fair skin are limited to descriptions of particular individuals, and the Noldor race of elves. I do think that Tolkien probably conceived of elves as white in his own mind’s eye, but he never committed strongly to this in the text.
But it's a darker shade of yellow, closer to orange, which is kind of the point...
Hey @roexni,

But every conflict must be compared to WWII (in which we are the good guys and the other side is literally Hitler) don'tcha know?

This sort of reductive simplistic childish thinking is going to be the undoing of the Collective West, you can't wish a state of affairs into being no matter how much you desire and no matter how much you propagandize your own populous.

Fair play to you for speaking out.

This is a basic story of how some guy pumped a shitcoin in third party markets to make his 1e100 coins appear to be worth a lot, but lacked any exit liquidity to actually make any money.

I wonder if the tax office would allow people to value a security based on the order-book. Or does this reporter now owe a billion dollars tax! Clearly it's only "worth" $10 or something, once he drains all external markets with his first trade.

It's either a non-text book case or conflating. She's basically that edgy, grumpy, aggressive side character. But instead of a side character, she's a main character. Instead of comic relief, she is serious. Instead of being confronted quickly, the flaws are ignored or presented as beneficial and barely opposed at all.

The archetype itself isn't new. If anything, women were overrepresented in that archetype as side characters for decades. Changing the character's role just doesn't magically solve the need for the archetype to interplay with others in a less brash way.
This is a fantastic summary.
By "fraudulent roots", I'm talking about Wisselbank in the 1600s.

>> Providing liquidity and assuming risks are actual valuable

Liquidity is another name for creating measures of value. A bank is a group of people that have magic wands to create these measures. The magic wand becomes less magical with defaulted loans - this is the risk that you mention.

Banks used to also provide a safe way to store things (vaults and so on). Now, a bank is a centralized database + magic wand.

In any case, it seems you are convinced that the current system is optimal and cannot be improved. I'm less convinced but that's fine. I encourage you to free your mind a bit. The first step is to use language that triggers no emotional responses. For example, "organization" is a set of people - nothing more. Money (massive emotional trigger) is a measure of value. If you know how to code, I encourage you to implement Bitcoin from the whitepaper (or just read it - it is very simple). This helped me infinitely more than listening to various Bitcoin maximalists/minimalists on YouTube. This understanding hasn't motivated me to own any crypto of any kind thus far however.
It's not just the keyboard. It's also siri.. I tell siri to call XXXXXXX. I see on my screen it actually understood me, and then it changed the name into someone else who I never ever call.

Alls this "ai" stuff drives me crazy. It's just plain unpredictable. I prefer predictability in my daily drivers, and I'll go for "ai" when I need it.
Well done you - I'd like to hear more about your experience and I'd love to do the same.

(I didn't want to have kids and ended up being a single parent. The part around 1.5 years old when I was taking care of my daughter by myself was rather rough. Like, how do you even take out the trash and other basic things? Despite everything, now I kind of lucked out in that my parents are helping me a lot)
Copilot made me an augmented programmer
Tech job conditions are the problem, not having kids.

Do you want good reasons to not have kids?

- The future for them does not look promising at all

- Enjoy your life and travel anywhere, change job anytime, change location any moment

- Sleep whenever you want

- Use any drugs you want (even just weed is an issue with kids under 18)

- Start any hobby or job any time you want

- Buy an house without be worried to be homeless

- No guilt for be responsible of their life, of any problem they face, any transmitted genetic issue you may find later on

- If you have no family or relatives or friends to make your kids know, share and play with, it's pretty much like not having kids at all
Wow that is so superegoistic I'd say any child deserves a better dad.
It may also be something else what's wrong, please reflect and try more, and also if you are not already in a trustless broken relationship start talking with your wife about it.

> And if you wake up with panic attacks over kids you HAVE to do it or youll never forgive yourself in 10 / 20 years.

No, that is definitely not set in stone, you may not find fulfillment in that, please that possibility also in mind.

> but thats your life,

No, it is also your wife's and your eventual future child's life, but I'd not take this advice if only for your life unless your current relationship is already broken. The sudden you regret your childlessness, the same you may regret this decision and consequences soon.
You might want to retire soon if you have a pension

Someone could still take your code if it's hosted elsewhere and put it up on GitHub, at which point it gets sucked into the blackbox that is Copilot
I don't think that's a great excuse. It's find for companies to have internal and external (marketing) names for the same thing, but these are both public! They have two public names for the same thing which is arguably even more confusing.

Look at that article:

> The USB-IF still recommends vendors label USB 2.0, which can take the form of USB-C, USB-A, USB-B, and more, as "Hi-Speed USB" with no performance indicator.
>
> "Hi-Speed USB has been around for over 20 years and is well established in the marketplace"

They are seriously under the delusion that anyone except USB nerds has even heard of "hi-speed USB".
A lot of comments here are along the lines of, “how you’re feeling is not really about what you think it’s about.” I think that’s very dismissive. Just because some others can’t relate, that doesn’t mean what you feel is not valid. We are biological beings, and the drive to procreate is very strong. It is existential. Some feel it more than others. I am very sorry for what you’re going through.
