I respectfully disagree. Ignoring a major part of your life, that sustains you and your family, might be a luxury for people that get burned out with $450k salaries and have $2M in savings.

Finding a good balance and pride in the 1/3rd of the life you spend, without being scornful is worth while. Build a good robust career, become an expert, have passion and perseverence, foster discpline; make a career that rewards you. The world isn't set up against you as people on HN and media would like you to believe; the world is amazing and there are plenty of things to do that can sustain you and your family.

Being apathetic or scornful of "work" is a terrible long term strategy.

I disagree. I thought the ads and rewards programs were an interesting concept. I don't use them but interesting nonetheless when mainstream web ads involve all kinds of privacy invasion. Blockchain here was actually a good choice for implementing a simple and private payment system. Rather than send any signal about the characteristics of management, some people are looking at this as a guilt by association kind of situation because they don't agree with how some completely different group of people has implemented and used blockchain or engaged in pump and dump scams.
The point being made here is that "raw talent" is frequently the removal of barriers via socioeconomic factors. The best predictor of whether a child will graduate college is whether their parents also graduated college.

Most "naturally talented" people are "simply" people allowed to reach full human potential due to circumstances of birth, where "less talented" people frequently could have reached similar potential, but for:

- lower socioeconomic status

- less- or un-educated parents who don't know what opportunities to put their children into for maximum growth

- parents who themselves experienced significant trauma as children and didn't have the opportunity to process it due to lack of money or access to mental healthcare, and then subsequently inflict similar trauma on their own children

The lower socioeconomic status one in particular contains a host of other potential potential-limiters:

- less money for healthy food (or enough food at all) means less growth potential and worse overall health for the rest of your life

- if your parents don't have money for the equipment, you likely won't be allowed to participate in sports (happened to my wife) which means your brain will miss critical early wiring opportunities with the sport-specific mechanical tasks, which will result in lower potential skill ceiling later in life

- no money for travel means less exposure to world cultures, and unless living a in large city less exposure to foreign languages, and exposure to foreign languages as an infant is critical for later foreign language success due to pruning of connections for unused phonemes during early development.

There are many, many more things that go into the development of "raw talent" I haven't even touched on beyond "just" parent socioeconomic status, like poor people being more likely to have to live near major roadways and its influence on the rate of asthma in children.

The takeaway here is that very often people with "raw talent" weren't born that way, they were simply allowed to grow.
I know this is a very orthogonal comment, but: Have you ever considered writing in a serious context? Like (tech) books or something? Your prose is really great imho.
My suspicion is that they did it for privacy reasons.

Let me give you an example - you have a photo of someone. Should Google give you their facebook profile in the results if you search for the picture? Their AI is certainly capable of this, but some people would be understandably creeped out by it.
I have three kids. I don't get to see them nearly as much as I want to. I live in another state. I moved here to start a business after I separated with their mother about 3 years ago. Now I regret almost everyday. I live in fear of the world they'll grow up in, and I miss them terribly.
For example, "cloudflare CTO".

The projects have explanations on why they are selling, and what their current Monthly Recurring Revenue is.

I think you have heavily heavily discounted that the people building aren't the same people ready to make the same time and financial risks.

That site is doing two things: selling projects, and finding cofounders. These are two separate functions if it isn't clear. You can buy a project and find a co-founder, not buy into a project and be the co-founder with someone that has another job.
Note also that that the act requires that the ships be flagged in the US and staffed by 75% US workers. This means they're subject to US minimum wage laws, and there's a smaller labor pool to draw from, so there are additional costs that raise the price of each voyage, not just a higher upfront capital cost.

Additionally, since there are far fewer firms that can compete for these routes, I would expect that the margins on Jones act compliant shippers is much higher than the industry norm.
I had hoped to use it to draft ideas on the go, but I don't play an instrument, so I lack the timing practice to use it the way it's made to be used (live). I really need the note editor and sequencer from the big desktop program to be productive in it. However, it's fun to poke around in, and I'm sure they'll add missing features over time.
It's funny, for me my biggest thing is that in WFO if i was overwhelmed on a problem or off feeling (tired/sick/etc) i would often just try and get through the day, horribly unproductive.

At home i can usually address the issue more quickly (quick nap, a walk, an extended break, etc - often fully detatching from work) and end up back to actually working far more quickly. For me these blockers would often just stall the whole day in office.

Tbh i wish office work was more similar in that regard. They expect everyone to work like robots, but in doing so they ignore the human element of overcoming all our quirks. We have no roads to get back to productivity in most offices, and in doing so my belief is that it ends up a net negative. People learn how to appear to work, while not working.

Though i mostly say this in the context of creative work (development).
Its good to not derive all your satisfaction from work and to seek it out from things that are more pertinent to your life, versus your bosses. It will probably make retirement feel more fulfilling instead of empty.
All I can say is: very very nice (Testing on some 3d renders and some bw photos).

As a Lawyer, I see a lot of burnouts in startups.

The solution is often very similar.

First, take a medical leave.

Second, let time heal your wounds. Even if not visible, the suffering from depression can be worse than when it's physical. And it take way more time to heal.

Then, once they went through this process, most people leave their job and do something else or go somewhere else.
>I really hate zoom meetings. Unfortunately if everyone just does whatever they want, then even the in-person meetings get dragged onto zoom because there’s at least a few people who are remote and need to dial in.

Something often missing from these discussions is that at many large companies, A lot of people are scattered around the country/world so, even if they are in an office, a lot of meetings are going to be by Zoom anyway. And frankly, if some people are going to be remote, it's good policy that people generally dial in individually if it's an interactive meeting.

So this isn't necessarily a WFH/WFO thing. Decades before there was a Zoom, at least half the meetings I was in had lots of people on a conference call.

Yes, but now if you're not online during your flight it's because "you chose to" and you're a slacker.

Another dimension here is that it's a refuge from "the always on" society; if you were to step back and look at your life from a distance almost everyone would say "I need to disconnect more", but you often don't realize how dependent you are on that dopamine hit the connected internet provides until you're forced to disconnect. Then you see the peace and realize, "oh, I'm OK when I'm not attached to my phone".

But there are fewer and fewer opportunities to have that kind of realization these days.

What is the right way to discuss that at an interview? Discussing the applicant's family is typically off limits, but if the goal is to work and be a parent then you must have that conversation early.

Huh? When did this happen?

The US can print as many dollars as they need. In fact, when dollars go overseas, a inflation targeting central bank will automatically print more.
That’s not what my job was like in IT. It was a really great place to work.
> this article hides behind a veil of "fact" to really just complain about the things they don't like the show

Not at all. This article is primarily trying to answer the question from the title; any personal opinions are incidental, and not the article's focus; it is a personal blog after all.
Seems like this is a case where the "soft touch" approach—set rules and let the market create the outcome you wanted—isn't working, so maybe a more direct approach would be a better idea for the purpose of ensuring a healthy merchant marine fleet, if that's still something we want to do.
Personally I really like the idea of micro-transactions. Brave’s cryptocurrency is one of the few models for them that’s more than white papers. Granted it was a bit shady seeming at first, but they’ve stuck to it and seem genuine.

I’d rather pay for articles than have ads blasted everywhere. YouTube premium as an example is very worth it! However when you subscribe to something like The Economist they still blast ads at you. Also I really don’t want to pay for one off subscriptions everywhere, especially when they don’t even turn off ads.

Long term, blocking ads isn’t viable, nor is it even really ethical.

Sure I’m bummed that brave didn’t go another route and try to get a group of publishers in on the attention token rather that the sorta shady interception tactic. Still Firefox is in a position to try and make a federated micro transaction system, but haven’t tried.

You get $3,600 yearly for having a kid. That’s just not nearly enough to adequately raise a child, let alone fund the changes in your own life from getting to raise a child.

It should be no surprise that women need some extra financial assistance when it comes to raising children.
Because then the open issues are a list of either the newest issues, or the issues with the most persistent reporters, which is a pretty good signal for prioritization.
> I think that becoming a parent fundamentally changes who you are.

Agree 100% by adding “can” in there. The OP’s feelings are very similar to my own early on. I still have those nagging thoughts now and then but I know now what to focus on.

Fact is, young children are thankless, selfish, and inconsiderate little parasites that could give 2 shits about their parents desires. The parents that can look past all that and see the little spots of joy, look forward to the fun stuff like sharing a hobby, and letting go of your original picture of life seem to have the best experience with it.

That perspective change is NOT guaranteed, though. I know plenty of parents who seemed to naturally have this figured out right away. It’s taken me several years to even just see the light but I’m getting it now. We had a particularly tough first kid but she’s grown out of a lot of those challenges and we’re finding it easier to find the fun stuff together.
Obviously there are winners and losers, but overall, the benefits to society favor repealing the Jones Act.

IIRC, all offices need to be reset periodically.

Was it... setting the price high then low, then high again? It was something like that.

All offices in SimTower had a time-limit on their usage. Once they've been occupied for a few years, no one likes the office and you need to manually refresh them by setting prices through some price ritual (delete? Change prices? I forget).

Alternatively, set the bottom 20 floors to hotels, and the basement floors to a great parking lot + shopping center in support of those hotels.
It's not that easy. Imagine some product owner, PM or exec reviewing a feature that "maybe" or "somehow" encroaches anything remotely seeming like "Personal Information". They freak the fuck out and want to cover their asses by bringing in lawyers. The lawyers want to pad their billing so they make it complicated. The marketers still want their metrics which in all likelihood don't break those laws yet, but because they might, because they use some tool like "Google Analytics" and no one on this entire planet knows how it works or whether it collects something that might be PII, they too get caught under this bus. And to top it all off, there are SAAS products out there now that prey on this "Fear" and happily sell you an overly complicated cookie consent popup banner product. And the cycle continues.
I'm surprised that no one in this tread has mentioned Opera. Weirdly, a lot of my son's Gen-Z aged group has started using Opera. When I asked them about it, it's because it "seems faster than Chrome." I haven't tried Opera in... like... forever (probably I last used it when they had their own rendering engine instead of being yet-another-webkit), so I have no idea how much veracity their claims are.

I just think it's odd that many of the young punks I know are switching to Opera of all things.
CVE-2022-41853: Potential Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Hsqldb
I'm curious: how long were your breaks? I've had two rather long (>6 months) breaks in my career, and I've enjoyed them immensely and have been very productive: finished personal projects, made music, YouTube videos, learned new skills.

However, both times it took at least a couple months of passive life before I could do anything productive at all: I just slept, cooked, read, played video games, and scrolled Reddit. Almost as if I had to first flush out all the accumulated stress and get rid of the "muscle memory" around work.
what are you talking about ? Do you know how ads work ? Brave is literally stealing and profiting from it.

Brave will remove the ads from a site, that a person/company has paid for to ad provider. The ad provider thats supposed to pay the website host / content creator / whatever.

Now Brave will insert their own ads and that another company has paid them to insert. So they are stealing and making money from the effort that someone else is expecting.
It's a valid assumption and you are absolutely right :D
I have a stable circle of friends I see very regularly and several hobbies I follow after work. And here is the thing: I want to have discussion with co-workers and this "involvement" in the tech community, but honestly I want to do it during the third of my day that is already dedicated for work. I love my job, but gosh darn it if 8 hours a day is not enough. I want to spend the rest doing completely different things. That's why the "just go to meetups" argument doesn't cut it for me.
I wonder how much of it is because people start out wanting to not do anything too big because they feel like they could be confronted about it at any second and that just becomes the norm. Random screwing around is easier to justify as a temporary thing you were caught in than some other activities. If you had a work area and it's been turned into a study area for your BAR exam prep with books and papers spread all around, that's a bit harder to explain away as them just coming at a bad time than you watching cat videos would be.
Good lawd .. to have income to throw at a plane like that :0
You've described Brooklyn and NYC at large... if you're anti-car then consider the city. Boston is a good second choice. I've lived in both.

NYC comes with the normal downsides of the biggest city in the US: expenses, limited space, crowding, and noise. But this is true of all large cities in the world: Paris, London, Tokyo, etc.

But it comes with the immense upsides of a functioning metropolitan transit system, which covers the majority of the living spaces, at an affordable price, and doesn't require Uber or car to go the "last mile".

Additionally there are countless flex offices, coworking spaces, etc. Everyone I've met in tech in the city has some sort of WFH/WFO at this point in the pandemic.

City life isn't for everyone but if you're looking for a good transit system in the US there are two or three (Chicago too)

Best of luck with your journey
Work is literally 1/3 of your life. Trying to pretend otherwise is insane.

One thing that caught my eye in the Spotify screenshot is that there's what is presumably a Python 2 -> Python 3 migration monitor, which is also the only red one. I would typically assume that a code migration would be much more difficult than a data migration, which sort of feeds into that "Python would be the only red migration monitor" idea, even if data migrations are more complex from a making-sure-everything-works perspective.
There's still shipbuilders up and down both US coasts. They don't build that many ships, but they'd almost certainly disappear if foreign vessels were an option.

If having any local shipbuilding capability is better than none, the act works enough.

IMHO, I'd drop Puerto Rico and other island territories from the act. Maybe Hawaii and Alaska too. The inducement to build and operate US based cargo ships for those markets clearly isn't sufficient, and it hurts the economy of the territories for little benefit. But keep it for the mainland --- I think effectively reserving US ports for foreign trade reduces import/export costs which helps the US interface with the global market.

Surely they'll eventually be competing with Viasat for those juicy contracts with the major airlines as well. I won't be surprised if my Delta in-flight internet service is provided by Starlink in a few years. I suspect it wouldn't make any economic sense to retrofit existing planes, but potentially on their newly built ones!

I have no dog in this race. I use Safari and Firefox as products, but I don't have a deep enough connection to browser development and the web to feel like either is a part of my identity.

"Documents pertaining to the case remain sealed."

Why? This tells me that the FBI is targeting this journalist because they don't like what he has to say. If this pattern of government behavior impacted a journalist in China, there would be little doubt as to why. I worry that the FBI is acting as a political praetorian guard.
Yeah this is solid advice.

I'm on year 17 in the industry and year 5 of "care less" which has really turned into "care very little, if at all". I work for a FAANG and while I procrastinate like crazy (btw I have very bad ADHD, so factor that in), I still tend to complete my work on time or ahead of schedule. I do the bare minimum though and I don't give a damn about the job at all beyond that. I haven't put in an honest 40 hours in years. I try to cram all my real work into a 2-3 hour block of time each day. Somehow my managers are still very happy with my output and I still get offered promotions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My sole reason for working is to survive and provide for my family. I put most of my passion and energy into hobbies instead. All of this makes it so I don't dread work every day; it finally feels like I have equilibrium in my work-life balance now even though I still do on-call rotations and work for a massive company.

Funny thing is all of this started from me randomly finding an "e-book" called "The Gervais Principle, Or The Office According to The Office" by Venkatesh Rao.

New York, for good reason, is considered one of the most desirable cities there is. I've spent lots of time in cities all over the world, when you have the means and the network, I found none of them held a candle to NYC.
So in that case should all software companies not be allowed to bundle anything?
