Slightly off-topic, but as a father of two (toddlers), I can relate to this. I have plenty of ideas but if I have (say) 15min available, my brain won't even start because it "knows" the next emergency / interrupt will probably occur within that time period. A bit sad I confess...
>It feels like every time someone gets into a new field now, there's always the expectation they'll 'go pro' or turn it into a day job.

This is a peculiarly American phenomenon. And there is also the flipside: people ask "why do you do [challenging, expensive and/or time consuming hobby] if you're not getting paid?".

Don't worry, there are many people with hobbies around. I have two, but one of them is on the backburner while I become not injured.

Wonderful news! I was always scared that Oracle could slap some $$$ licensing scheme for GraalVM, but this proves me wrong. I'm not following other parts of GraalVM development, except Native Image capability, but I must say that, IMHO, GraalVM/native-image is one of the best things after sliced bread and JVM out there. Native Image shows true power when it has to compile higher-level languages than Java, like Scala, Clojure, or Kotlin, and it compiles them pretty darn well.

If you buy a $225,000 house at 7%, you pay $45,000 down and $1,200/month. If things stay like that and you move after five years, you'll have about $169,500 left on your mortgage and thus get about $55,500 back out, $10,500 more than your down payment.

If you buy a $410,000 house at 2%, you pay $82,000 down and $1,200/month. If things stay like that and you move after five years, you'll have about $286,000 left on your mortgage and thus get about $124,000 back out, $42,000 more than your down payment.
Passivity is antithetical to whether something is a hobby. I don't think the vast majority of people who participate in the common culture of film, TV, food, social media, and travel consider those things to be their hobbies. And rightfully so, because all they are doing is paying for temporary access to something they aren't actually engaging with. If, on the other hand, a person watches movies in order to analyze and critique them, they are entering hobbydom as they are engaging with the subject rather than turning their brain off.

Recourse versus non-recourse mortgages is an interesting difference that most people seem to be unaware of. I do not recall reading about it in any of the disclosures (running hundreds of pages) that I had to read. I only found out about it while researching on the internet.

Apparently, there are only 10 non-recourse states as of 2009: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. The tricky thing is that only the initial mortgage is non-recourse. A refinanced mortgage becomes recourse, but interestingly, they don't seem to be required to disclose that in the disclosures.
Governments and technology companies baulk on about providing wifi to undervalued communities across the world in the name of progress and development. Of course Wifi should be free because your taxes paid for the infrastructure, same goes for energy and water utilities, they should also be provided at no cost to ordinary users.
What is the actual benefit of this?

The cost is that conversion to/from civil time is far more complicated, and worse, cannot be computed for future dates for which leap seconds have not yet been determined.

I think that 86,400-second days with a 24-hour leap smear hits a sweet spot of utility and usability: https://developers.google.com/time/smear

There are very few applications that will know or care that seconds get 0.001% longer for 24 hours.

If you treat performance as a feature, then you can do a lot better by this yardstick than most. The problem is that so many people don’t know what that feels like that they fight you on it. I’ve heard stories about managers trying to dismantle processes I “forced” onto people only to find out they didn’t want to give them up. They just didn’t understand why I was so vehement that we have them, until they had them.

Most people assume that suffering is the natural order of things instead of the default state. So it doesn’t really track for them that choosing your form of suffering today can limit the amount you’re doing later.

How restrictive do you think the subset is? It only doesn't support some features you probably never wanted to use anyway, and arbitrary reflection. I maintain 125k lines of Java that conforms to the subset rules, and to be honest I never even think twice about the fact that it's a subset.

Screenshot Lock Screen to Take Podcast Note
Usually when I'm podcasting, I'm multi-tasking. It's why it's such a great medium. Depending on what podcast I'm listening to, there are plenty of times I go, "Ooo I want to remember that, let me write that down."

I started researching podcast note taking apps because I wanted to start to organize these, as opposed to my notes app. I also figured there's probably something better out there for quick note grabbing.

I was right. There are some fantastic ones - Snipd, Airr, plenty of others.

This might be an irrational thought, but almost right away as I started using these, I said, "ehh I don't want a whole new podcast player. I just want a better way to take podcast notes and organize them". Maybe that's dumb as I'm looking for a podcast note taking app. They're there... Buy in.

But consider me stubborn. If I'm stubborn about this, maybe others are too.

My Idea:

A podcast note gathering app that pairs with your existing podcast player of choice - Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, etc. As you are listening, you take a screenshot of your Lock Screen. The app recognizes it's a screenshot with a podcast playing, parses the text, transcribes the audio, creates a note, and organizes it under that podcast and episode. The photos screenshot is removed. You can then go into the app and make edits, notes, etc.

As an indie iOS developer, I think this is "technically" possible. I'm curious what others think of the idea. I love it, but have others found a similar problem with the current podcast note taking solutions?

I've created some screen mockups to help illustrate the idea. https://imgur.com/c3lrP0Q

> I've (literally) employed people who were working 3 jobs without any of the other employers knowing about one another. We were being scammed. This happened not just once, but with 2 people (1 full stack engineer who is a HN regular, and another was an account manager).

We've had several instances of foreign contracting companies forging identities and using paid actors (who sound and act American) in order to get into our company. Not only do these scams seem somewhat common they are also a massive security risk. We usually find out quickly because there is almost always an inconsistency in their employment history.
> I’d really prefer the option to determine when I’d like GC, as opposed to dodging the collector to avoid performance hits

Fair enough. If SS14 used D maybe they wouldn't have these problems.

D and early Rust (pre 0.2, like alpha alpha) had that. Problem is you split your community in two. You get a version of "What GC-color is your function/lib?".

It's a tradeoff for some domains - allow no GC bypass you're going to run into nigh insurmountable performance cliff.

Allow GC as opt-in and you run into issue of splitting your APIs in two.
Bought a XPS 15 2020 at the release, wifi didn't work and trackpad was terribly wobbly. Tried to return it two days after delivery and then the nightmare began.

For some reason Dell kept saying that I was a business and refused to accept the returned package (apparently business doesn't have the 14 days return policy?), I had to waste 5+ hours in the phone talking with multiple people, trying to prove that I'm a normal costumer, at the end I literally had to send a picture of the delivery address showing that it was my house and not an office, after that they decided to accept the return.

I'll never get any product from Dell again.

Agree. LinkedIn should contain the most accurate and up-to-date professional information about each member. This in itself is a resume. There is no need for double entry elsewhere. If a company can not extract that info when recruiting, it is clearly behind the times and losing candidates.

I've been looking at mortgages over the past couple of months, and putting 20% down has near no effect on my potential monthly payments.
I've played both billiards and soccer regularly and have experienced both sensations.

With billiards, when I'm "in the zone", it feels like the early stages of an out of body experience where my mind starts to feel slightly decoupled from my body and I know that my body knows what to do to make the shot. I can then "tune out" and trust my body.

With soccer, I'll be running at high speed and my mind knows I want to cut inside and nutmeg the defender (pass the ball throw a small gap in their legs and collect it on the other side). Then suddenly, it just happens. Something notices the tiny window of opportunity and just executes the move. The process of consciously analyzing the rapid feet movement, the speed of the ball, the field, the distance to the goal, the position of the other defenders, etc. is just too slow. This process feels faster and often I feel almost surprised that I just did it. After I collect the ball on the other side, things slow back down to normal speed and sometimes I'll laugh in disbelief.

If I had to explain the process of either to someone else, I'd struggle because it seems like a deeper, innate physical knowledge rather than something I can formulate and explain at an intellectual level.

In that sense, it feels similar to walking. You don't explain to someone how to walk, they just practice it over and over until they can do it without thinking. So, it's kind of like that but with more complex movements, plus the serotonin boost of accomplishing a goal.

Thanks for the reply. Also, I have the tendency to become very conscious when I use a paid service and kind of messes my mind. I think in the long run it will be cheaper to own a machine.

Actually I am more into RL than DL. But DRL use DL.

I don't need a machine at the moment, I am in the learning state at the moment. But eventually I will need something and passively want to learn on building my own machine. So trying to avoid costly mistakes.

It will be NVIDIA cards for sure. It does not have to be the latest, but I would like to be able to upgrade the cards without need to change the rest of the machine, at least not more than 10% of initial cost. I am very ignorant on this that's why asked how to build a machine starting with cheaper graphics cards but then be able to upgrade to latest and the best if I need to. I guess motherboard is the most important component but which one? Also, size of the box. Any article that discuss these in depth? Not videos, I prefer reading.

Money is not an issue unless I don't make the mistake of buying wrong components that does not fit both physically and compatibility.

I would like to build a compact machine yet able to upgrade, for example 2 graphics card eventually.

Hi, post author and founder of InfluxDB here. We're supporting Flux (our scripting and query language), InfluxQL (our original SQL like language), and SQL (specifically the Postgres dialect as that's what DataFusion supports). The query engine is DataFusion, which is part of the Apache Arrow project. We contribute to it significantly. So that's what's built in natively. We support Flux and InfluxQL through separate Go processes that use an API to connect to the core DB. Although we're working on native InfluxQL support (it's a Rust based InfluxQL parser that will yield DataFusion logical query plans).

Right now we're focused on our cloud offering. We'll have official open source releases and documentation in the future.
Salary is not freely available, you generally have to pay for specific lookups as a private person.

However there is a lowtech way around this. Taxed income is published yearly in a book that resembles an old phonebook, Taxeringskalendern ("the tax calendar"). Freedoom of the press, see?

This book (or the part of the book that covers your region) will be available at your local library in the "reference" section. For most people you take the number from the book and divide by 12 and you have a lower bound of their monthly salary. Unless they are stalking you at the library noone will know. Very useful when going into salary negotiotiations to know aprox what the rest of the team and your boss makes.

That's not at all how real estate valuations work in my experience. In times of asset inflation, they lag to cut homeowners a break. So much so that other tax authorities outright reject using municipal valuations on their filings.

And municipal valuations never go down, barring someone paying for an independent appraisal and going through the abatement process. If real estate values corrected by 50%, then the people who really complained might be able to get their taxes reduced by 10%. But even that's doubtful.

I see this sort of hobby -> income path in my hobbies as well, but its entirely based on the online content I consume, and the fact that content production is a hobby and getting good at content creation makes it a moneymaking opportunity that I believe is really hard to pass up.

I paint wargaming miniatures to play tabletop games and every content creator I've followed over the past ten years either stopped producing content as a hobby or now has a Patreon and hides at least a portion of their work behind a paywall.

Then, when I go to a wargaming tournament, here are all the people who enjoy the hobby of painting and playing wargames instead of the hobby [or maybe, profession] of producing content.

So it seems very much a bias of the content I consume, and when I dip my toe into other hobbies [say, hiking, or RVing] I see the prevalence of money making content production there too.
I don't think that is true in this context.
