Was talking a bit about this project of a colleague of mine.

"The miniature single-file buzz-word-compliant Git based chat client."
https://github.com/JKrag/GitSlick

He wrote it out of a need and it actually works for his use-case:

> I created GitSlick mostly for sending messages to myself from one machine to another, mostly for use on e.g. customer machines where I can't use our own company Slack, and may be limited in what other tools I can install.
> Each dollar spent is received by someone who then goes on to spend a part of that dollar and so on. So if you take dollars and send them elsewhere, that multiplyer effect is dampened. Things may be cheaper, but the economy is worse overall.

What? You're basically arguing for trickle-down economics here. No - subsidizing small special interest groups is not in our collective best interest.

Making shipping cheaper absolutely leads to better outcomes. And if you are worried about offshoring labor, the Jones Act makes it specifically more expensive to ship domestically than internationally.
Yes, definitely. I did some tests with my headset, and while a few usability and performance issues need to be resolved, it looks incredible, specially the reflections.

That's just your toxic masculinity creeping through.

I kid, I kid. The biggest lesson here is calling out these types of absurdities gets you "labeled". This is the real issue.

You've lost interest. It's ok - it happens (it happened to me).

Option 1: Pivot

You need to analyze what you still enjoy, if anything, and what areas you would like to pivot to and hopefully excel in.

Management is a clear option, but not everyone's cup of tea. Maybe you could utilise your analytical skills in a completely different area outside of software development? For example, I've recently moved from a developer role into the company's Learning and Development manager - it's a dream (especially because nobody in this area has an engineering mindset).

Take what you're good at, see where you can grow, add value and find joy and then put a plan in place to aim for that.

Option 2: Break

People take sabbaticals for a reason. Maybe a complete 6 month break is an option. Or if not now, then in a year's time. It depends on your financial and personal circumstances of course.

I burnt out playing piano in my youth (I was aiming for concert training at the time), took a two year break after university, couldn't listen to any Classical music during that time, then one day turned on the radio and fell in love with it again. Now it's my favourite hobby. Breaks help if circumstances permit it.

Option 3: Less is More

During the lockdowns, I started to burn-out in my role because I was not speaking to anyone in person anymore. So I made it a deliberate practice to meet and talk with people as much as possible. 5pm - laptop off, talk with my family, meet friends, go for a run, place soccer with the local club, anything to get away from work, switch off and talk to people. Just listening to their complaints somehow helped me deal better with mine.
In the dot-com heyday my team had nothing to do. A manager explained that they had hired extra developers “just in case they needed them later”.

I couldn’t take the boredom and quit to do a round the world backpacking trip.

My co-worker stayed and wrote a novel. It was a perfect setup: he got payed to come in and sit at the computer all day typing, and always looked busy. I think he played his hand well.
It certainly revitalized the term "nooner"!

Oh, and that weekly "all company" meeting where everyone is there but only the presenter camera is on?... you have no idea what is happening during the boring round of every team manager promoting the this or that which their team was up to.
That 'globalist' stance is eminently sensible.

Tariffs should be unilaterally abolished: no need to wait for the other guys to stop hitting their head against a wall, you can stop today. Ie no need to wait for free trade agreements. Just declare unilateral free trade.
Twitter is just an embed. Is it working for you now? Maybe your browser is blocking the embed? What browser are you using?
I pointed asked Yolo on a call why won't we repeal this. Gave him my contact information. Never. Never! heard back on this. It's idiotic that we require this process.
Better yet, quit using google. I've been on https://search.brave.com for months and have no regrets.
It's really the case.
It's hard to conceive that freewill only can solve chaos when seing others as packs of limping hyenas.
I explicitly said in my original comment way up thread that I didn’t think intelligence was the defining factor.
I went on a trip to see how hard it would be to fine, and I _sort of_ found it, and it was not obvious.

1. Started at the homepage, clicked "Start Now" at the top right. It lands on a page called /download/.

2. The word download is nowhere to be seen on that page, but, the third box in the row is "On premise", and has a "Select plan" which redirects to https://github.com/sponsors/killbill.

3. We land on the Github sponsors page for the org. The repository is listed below.

Yeesh, that was a trip of obfuscation.

Which companies out there addopted Basecamp's ShapeUp?
I'm reading ShapeUp and what's described there sounds awesome. 6 weeks work + 2 weeks cooldown. Well prepared (shaped) ideas, design work highly integrated (instead of handed over to devs to implement). Small teams of 2 devs + 1 designer. Feels like very energetic place to work.

Sounds too good to be true. Are you working in a company that adopted it and could share your experience?
Yep I know :). That's exactly what I meant. If this tool can pull your HN history right here: https://swurl.com/?q=cloudflare+CTO
The severity of the symptoms are what makes this different. Having panic attacks in the middle of the night because he doesn't have kids, and and being triggered just walking around is not normal, it is a mental disorder.
A class of response I don't really see in responses here so far is that if the supposed benefits of WFO were supposed to be that high-bandwidth collaboration requires face-to-face interaction ... for a lot of companies that ship sailed a long time ago, prior to the pandemic.

Mid-sized and large companies _frequently_ have projects that involve people that would previously have been in different offices. In my last in-office job, it was already the norm that most meetings of importance were a Zoom call between at least two conference rooms anyways. We _already_ had to be able to form working relationships with people we didn't see in person regularly or almost ever, brainstorm and whiteboard over zoom, slack to ask someone a question, etc etc. There were long periods when I would go to my office and the immediate team I worked with would be entirely in other cities, and so all my collaboration was remote. In that context, insisting that people zoom from the office in their metro area isn't about actual productivity -- it's theater. It's putting on the performance of showing up, not because it helps you work better, but because being seen daily in passing by the SVP you report up to might be marginally better for your career.

With WFH (or more pointedly, work from a room I have sole control over), collaboration has one less hurdle. Before, I needed Zoom + a conference room at each participating office. Now I just need Zoom. Ad-hoc huddles no longer need to start with searching for empty rooms. Scheduled meetings don't start late because the prior meeting in that room ran slightly long, and conversations which go longer than scheduled are no longer interrupted by needing to vacate one room and find a different one.
Sometimes news articles get details wrong. There are no screenshots and the blog post they link to doesn't say anything about putting those ads into web pages. Are you sure this isn't just a bad description of the program they have right now? https://brave.com/brave-ads/ https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026361072-Bra... "Rather than displaying Ads on web pages, Brave Ads appear as push notifications, as background images on the New Tab Page, or as items in the Brave News feed. "
I dunno, that seems reasonable. If you're were already on the fence about working in the office, and there's a new risk of getting terribly sick for 2 weeks, that could swing the chances. One of my biggest pre-pandemic office frustrations was how often I got sick from the train ride and from obnoxious coworkers who would hover over me with audible congestion.
You mean that I don't agree? Thanks sherlock.
No ads :)
At a previous job, writing unambiguous error messages was discouraged. Everything just had to be "Oops! Something went wrong"

The reasoning was that "users can't do anything with information we tell them anyways", despite the overwhelming number of help desk tickets we'd get from "Oops!" appearing in a million different scenarios with no clear way for us to tell what error actually caused the message to appear.

Users naturally report the messages that they see because they're helping us to see the problem. I didn't get why that was such a hard concept to understand
This would be a win for the millions of laborers that don't work in maritime shipping over the capital owners of the (~100 odd) jones act ships.

This is more general than crypto. I've seen a recurring pattern where a comment of mine gets downvoted pretty quickly after posting, and then gets upvoted hours (or days) later.

This is another reason why you shouldn't comment on voting - in addition to being against the HN guidelines (which should be a reason by itself), comment score can change drastically in the 2-hour edit window. Just don't do it.
Sorry, what? :D
Sorry, I didn't mean to say that you had, rather I was suggesting that they did choose to have a baby because it filled a void that was created by lockdowns (and that others filled by getting a dog).
Can you include diagrams or pictures to explain the roaring compression, please?
How can you argue it's not a scam? The BAT Cryptocurrency is merely used as a mechanism to justify stealing profits from website owners. It literally has no other use or value?

The whole point of BAT is to reward people from removing ads placed by website owners and allow Brave to display ads of their own choosing and profit from websites that they have no involvement with.

It could actually be argued the whole 'privacy' angle they use is merely a way to justify the whole idea of ad-swapping. It's no different to what Apple have done with advertising of late.

Of course they justify this by saying the websites can take a cut, but that's only if the website owners know about it and forced against their will to do it.

OK let's put "boom" in perspective. The 2021 ACS estimate puts the under-5-year age cohort as the smallest cohort, smaller even than my pathetically sparse mid-gen-x age bracket. So whatever boom is going on must have happened post-2021, which isn't consistent with the article, or was not large enough to offset the overall down trend.
unless you are rich, living in the bay area with a family is living in constant stress. Bay area is good in your 20's but i've noticed these days a-lot of people move out once they are in their 30's and ready to start a family. Why would i live in a third world slum dwelling for 1.5 million (and probably have to send my kids to private school), and live in a constant state of "if i lose my job, then i'm screwed", when i could make a bay area salary and live in a mid col city. The only advantage in terms of career was maybe working with and seeing your coworkers but most of them never even come in to the office.
You are very lucky and privileged to have such useful focused meetings.

The vast majority of meetings are useless and unproductive, and if half the people on the call are muted the entire time nobody would ever notice.
It’s not like that though. Some of the most impressive people I’ve met got where they are by having your mindset, not by being “a Carmack” (coding machine). I’d like to think I had some impact in the areas I focused on, and my output wasn’t much more than yours, in all likelihood. It was just focused, and I was in love with the programming part.

I think you’re selling yourself short. Don’t count yourself out as someone who can impact the areas you want to.

I’m glad your life is stable now — if you ever need some encouragement in the future, DM me! Always happy to.

I really like this. There are clear shibboleths which identify the author as a person who deeply respects and cares for the readers of error messages, and their experiences. It makes me hopeful for the future of software when I see that there are others. Thanks for sharing.
Also virtual particles don't make sense in a non-perturbative regime like room-temp protons, since they are an aid to understanding terms in the perturbation series expansion.

Not sure how they even apply in the case where Feynman diagrams aren't applicable. Hell, the calculations likely use lattice QCD which eschews them entirely!
> So I guess I get the best of both worlds!

You get fully remote work with periodic retreats, that's vastly different from "You need to come in X days a week" which is what OP is asking for.
Agreed.

I am a fairly high level engineer. People would come over to my desk all the time to either discuss work or shoot the shit.

However I still have my own work to do. Most of the questions they came to me for are a short slack message. I’d often literally have a queue at my desk of people. I’d also be constantly running between meetings.

Having me work from home is better for everyone who deals with me.

I’m more reachable all the time. That queue of people no longer waste their time waiting on my time.

I’m insanely more productive because I am great at multi tasking when I’m not having to simultaneously hold a discussion in person.

It’s not hyperbole on my part to say that having me shift to working from home has been a force multiplier for everyone who depends on me for something.
>you literally are saying that people shouldn't work on women getting into STEM because they aren't also working on getting men into education.

Are you replying to the wrong message, or intentionally not quoting what you say I "literally" said?

Meanwhile, I have also noticed there aren't enough women working in mines and on roofs, collecting garbage etc. so I'm off to start my campaign to help.
It’s interesting to see the shift on HN from hustle/burnout culture to wiser takes on work life balance. The startup culture in the Bay burned a hole in my soul at one point with its 80+ hour a week puritan laden virtue signaling.

The Jones act has already made sure that the US maritime industry is tiny.
I agree, isn't for everyone. But I think the kids these days like as much images as possible. Seems how things are trending... I could add an option for more test focused if more people are wanting this. Because add to this thread if anyone has similar thoughts.
Well there are many aspects to life that probably will not do a full "before times" reset. Some good, some bad, some depends on your perspective. It's understandable that this frustrates people but it's the way it is.

(I actually find that there has probably been more of a reset than many people expected.)
Given that so many sociopaths are drawn to positions of power, the fact that so many lives are in their hands probably doesn't concern them one bit.
Define criminals. It’s not just an opinionated matter, any allegations have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt with presumption of innocence till proven guilty. Law works like that in this country. But also if a person is subject to criminal investigation for extended period of times (over three years), you would expect charges. So far other than some obscure “lying about net worth”, there is no charges.

Vindicating individuals you seem criminal with questionable raids from agencies with sweeping powers that are known for abuse of power have consequences. As in this case, it can very easily come for the other side. FBI is reportedly known for profiling MLK and other activists.
Thanks for the link. Have been toying with idea in my head for years.

Historically the US has favored protectionism over subsidies, but my understanding is that subsidies are almost always a more economically optimal way of ensuring that strategically-important domestic industries are able to survive.
Ask HN: Finding a second part-time job for some extra cash?
I find it bizarre having to ask this question because by almost all standards I have a high income (let's say between ~$150-180k). I'm comfortable and not under any financial duress, but even at that income I'm saving very, very little living in a HCOL and high tax city.

I'm a senior level engineer and good at what I do. I'd love to find some part-time way to make some cash in the evenings and weekends that doesn't require a long 6+ month contract or w\e. Something where I can jump in, do the job, and jump out.

Upwork is close but I'm finding that many people posting there are looking for things like full mobile apps for $400 which is absurd.

Where can I find this sort of work?

Live is first and foremost a tool for making electronic music in the same way Cubase is for making live band stuff. You can use one for the other, but you'll fight against the design goals that underly them. I would love Cubase's expression maps for handling keyswitches in Live for those rare times I use orchestral stuff, but I know I'll need to spend money on the top Max device for it if I want to get serious about sampled instruments. And I don't, because 99% of the time I'm making ridiculous sounds in Massive/Massive X. Live is all about the painless automation and clip launching. Automation is central to electronic music. Clips are fun to goof around in, but also let musicians cut up their songs for dynamic playing during actual live sets.
Thunderbolt’s next spec triples bandwidth to 120Gbps–with a catch
Yeah I agree with this.

I used to be the sort of person who would stay at work until I got to what felt like a "good" stopping point in what I was doing. If something wasn't working, and seemed like another 30 minutes might fix it, I would often do it. Of course 30 minutes often turned into 3 hours.

Now I'm much more likely to just go home at the end of the day. I don't really care what fires are burning, they will be there tomorrow and nobody will die.
Optional remote work _is_ mandatory remote work even if you have the option to work remotely from the office. This is especially true if WFH is conflated with the loss of core hours and the enforcement of async comms.

A personal website does not care about availability, failover, green-ness, "deployment", or issues of massive available bandwidth. Those are cargo cult concepts and they don't matter at all for a personal website hosted from home. It's okay to be down for a few days. It is okay to throttle your upload to 200 KB/s. It's okay to install nginx from your distro's repository and serve files from a regular ~/www/ directory. It's just for you! You don't have to work with a dozen other people on a team or all that that implies.

The electrical cost is extremely marginal. But I guess I was just assuming if you're going to host your website from home you're a geek and you already have computers running.
