You can find bespoke assembly services with a lot of the vendors, it will usually run around 100$ extra so 300/400 for the keyboard which altogether isn't that bad compared to prebuilt ergos like the Ergodox.

These tend to be location specific but try to find regional resellers of the PCBs.

"Extremely expensive" - you can do dreambooth on a free colab with recent optimizations.

This area is moving really fast, one-click solutions are already being created.

People are also averaging weights of multiple models to create new models based on multiple other dreambooth models, and it works surprisingly well.

The stable diffusion reddit is a good place to see how all of this is developing.
I think you should step away from platforms like HN, live life (real life, offline) and find out what you enjoy. I don't think you'll find an answer through the thing you want to leave. Kinda like people trying to fix their smartphone addiction by installing an app on their smartphone. It may work for some, but it seems like an odd approach.

(Doing a bit of an assumption here that after 20 years of tech work you're not broke.)
Not sure if you’re shilling on purpose but 1) no, Kiev Independent never reported on foreign supplied guns in Finland, “New Voice of Ukraine” did, using a statement by Finnish FBI (NBI) that was mischaracterized and explicitly corrected by NBI about 7 days ago. They say they are watching closely but have no evidence of what you’re alleging. 2) Couldn’t find anything about the helicopter, link?

You can “just ask questions” like that one about any item in any budget on the planet with the net effect of stalling everything we need to accomplish as a society, so I don’t really give that approach much credence. No reason to suspect a particularly bad or particularly important instance here and it’s especially suspect coming from people who’ve already indicated they don’t support US involvement in such conflicts.
Well, I guess you don't want unlucky people working for you!

>> Phoenix also feels a little bit magical in the way Rails is

>

> I've felt this about every backend web framework I've encountered, Django included. There's a tension between reducing boiler-plate, and not having directory structures/symbol names/etc. have some implicit order to them. If you want explicitness, don't use a framework and maybe use something like Flask/Werkzeug

One of the things I love about phoenix is how little magic there is. Not directed at you, but I agree there is always some amount of "it just works" with a framework but Elixir/Phoenix felt immeasurably more "the code is here" vs "well that particular thing is method_missing'd a few layers down into this which routes into that and then kaboom, here's your entire app."

This is helped by Ecto, which is the perfect mix of helpful and not helpful to me. It gets what I ask for and only what I ask for. It tells me when I've mucked up and generally it feels like a nice API to SQL vs its own thing (and dropping custom SQL is super easy). The data layer is most often the most hidden magic layer in frameworks IMO as routing some HTTP GET to some controller/function/whatever is pretty simple and easy to reckon.
How about e-commerce? It’s similar but you also need to learn the domain of your products. Which might (or might not) be a fun challenge.

Best of luck!

> The vibe of the contents that I put into Obsidian has a funny 'Obsidious' tone.

What do you mean? In my opinion UI is absolutely minimal. Not a single place with any kind of branding left - no logo, no 'Obsidian' text repeated all over. Ok, there is 'Choose Obsidian's default color scheme' in settings (totally warranted). Clean as it can be. It is actually unique in that matter of retracting logo/name from any view. There is branding on vault opener/switcher, which is tasteful and just in place - it's good to know what piece of software you're using, after all.

Tell HN: Emmet, the HTML editing plugin, gets $100k/yr in donations from casinos
https://opencollective.com/emmet

I thought this was peculiar for two reasons:

* While we all know and love Emmet, I am surprised it's still getting money to this day. Its website is stuck firmly in the Web 2.0 era.

* Most of its sponsors are casinos and other gambling websites, and in the real world it's usually an indicator of possible money laundering.

* All donations are exactly $150, every time.

Anyone know what's going on here? Seems like to me someone is laundering money through OpenCollective...

I hate that it is taking up so much screen space. If I receive one story a month I will be surprised, but it has to consume space all the time?
I am also not sure how you got the 42 unicorns figure for Europe, https://europeanunicornmap.com/ lists 130 of them and I am guessing it keeps growing.

We have plenty of almost unicorns here in Europe, then they tend to be smaller. Albeit the European Union market is roughly equivalent to the USA one in term of population or wealth, it is heavily fragmented legally and culturally. If you want to grow out of your country, you get to address the challenge of various different cultural differences be it for your product, running a business or entirely different laws. And sometime there is not even a market cause your solution is already addressed in some of the other countries.

> You're going to argue that 4 months severance from FB, where average developer pay is the highest in the world with Sr. Engineers getting $300k in cash compensation

Those would involves RSU which I guess do not get vetted, even so 4 months several when having a $300k salaries yields out a $100k severance.

> is worse than 6-12 months severance from a European tech company, where cash comp is 20% of that?

I am not sure it would be that large. At least for France it is 25% of a monthly wage per year of tenure. So for a 5 years employment that would be 1,25 months. Then you get unemployment benefits, usually a package to assist in finding a new job and of course you keep your healthcare coverage. The system is entirely different really. We get less lump sum but have a lot of other benefits which definitely help in rough time.
is web3 the same as blockchain? and it is just a marketing term to make it sound cool?
> What about people who have difficulty breathing, and have to have their breathing hindered for hours by the mask?

That is why vaccinating and wearing masks is so important: you're not just protecting yourself, but also those who legitimately cannot get vaccines (e.g. due to allergies), where the vaccines are ineffective (people with autoimmune disorders, on immunosuppressants or with a generally non-respondent immune system), or who cannot wear masks at all or for prolonged amounts of time (e.g. people with claustrophobia or weakened lungs).
Certainly chemistry also has abstractions that make it easier to handle. For instance, acids and bases are such; if you know something is an acid, you can trust it to behave in certain ways in certain situations regardless of the microscopic structure of the molecules.
Thats a good idea. Not sure its broadly applicable in events of large layoffs.

> This is a rather personal take on any versioning on the web. Web 2.0 was "cool" because it was a change to something beautifully different.

Having been though the whole v2.0 shebang, it was widely uncool and most derided it as a pure marketing play. I mean the term was coined to sell tickets to a conference.

No one could agree at the time about what v2.0 actually was in a way which is not dissimilar to how web3 is currently being pushed. For exemple, you think that RIA applications in Flash are part of Web 2.0. I would definitely say it's not.
Dreambooth extension for automatic1111 just came out. Can be run on CPU even. Haven't tried that extension myself yet, but I have followed a youtube video last week and I trained it using a colab in a few minutes (of training - getting the hang of the whole process was maybe 20 or 30 mins including watching the vid?). I think dreambooth is already perfectly within reach of regular users, and is already being used for... ehem... questionable purposes that took 1000's of images and days and days of tweaking and training for 'traditional deepfakes' just 6 months ago. The pace of advancement is breathtaking, it's literally impossible to keep up even if you spend 100% of your time on this.
This is a very good advice. There are huge drawbacks (mostly because of physical strain, and we are talking about a change in OP's 40-s, 50-s) but the mix of predictability, job security and unexpected things popping up is nice.

I would go that way if there was a trade with less physical constraints that electricians for instance (I never looked in details, there are probably many such jobs)
>Network protocols specify big endian for the order of transmission

Only in the parts specified by the protocol (headers etc). I encourage everyone sending data over network in a novel way to just use little-endian.

That's more or less what I did as well. But it got a bit messy at the end so I started to use EasyOrg [0] which gives some more structure so it is easier to search on and you also get a useful Agenda/Calendar view where you can plan future tasks and see old completed tasks.

Not sure how Twitter losing legitmacy will have any bearing on Crypto. Perhaps by comparison but you can't really compare the two.

Likely to have more scams for Crypto on Twitter if verification can simply be paid for. So that'll lower legitmacy.

I don't think it's burnout, I think it's boredom. OP can be perfectly rested and want to try something new, similar to how if you have pasta for dinner everyday you may eventually want to try something else.
> The line is blurry with smartphones, as all kinds of "smart" functionality IS a service, and depends on contacting the vendor.

No, because you can make your phone work with other service providers. The dependence on the original hardware vendor is artificial.

> It's intended to be able to blacklist malware

Choice of blacklists, content filters etc. is also orthogonal to the vendor.
Not so long time ago, there was this man who loved to make barbecues. At weekends, he loved cooking, preparing and eating the food with friends. He would talk about the best temperature, the best meat, salsas, and lots of other technical data.

One day, a butcher from a local store joined the barbecue:
- Hey, you are pretty good! Would you like to leave your current job and work for our store? We have special discounts for workers, and the job is good.

The man thinked twice before answering...You are that man. Some choose Yes without hesitation. Others say No.

- No thanks, its just a hobby for me.
It really doesn't.

Nearly every single major site is tracking you alongside enabling tracking by third parties. Something as innocuous as a call to Google fonts works as a sufficient tracking source. Your phone, regardless of who you pick, is not only tracking you but also readily forwarding everything on over to various government agencies with effectively 0 accountability. "Smart" cameras and other server connected street view cameras are even gradually destroying real life privacy - even being able to create effective real life tracking thanks to those handy OCR friendly license plates we all have.

Trying to preserve your privacy by not using TikTok is like trying to combat climate change by not barbequing. It will have a non-zero impact, but even if literally every single person did this to the point that TikTok went out of business - absolutely nothing would meaningfully change.
I never found something that made sense. It always worked out that I should reduce hours, work part time at a high salary, control my schedule, and have some hobbies.

Work in Academia. It’s kinda like a start up in that the teams are small and they’re isn’t a ton of support, but the pressure is less. There are interesting projects and collaborations. Pay is lower but not bad, they give good benefits and don’t crush you all the time. There’s politics but in software you can mostly ignore it.
It's funny how times have changed. Spring used to be that (micro)framework that prevented your code to depend on anything framework related. And here we are now...

I have been avoiding inheritance like the plague since at least 15 years ago and enjoying the pleasure of working with Spring for the same amount of time, approximately. But nowadays looking at what people do with Spring makes me extremely sad. Every time I find people "injecting" things by using annotations I can just think "WFT? Haven't we learnt /anything/?"
I don't see biology becoming a consumer business anytime soon (i.e. printing molecules automatically in your garage). As some remarked, biology is inherently chaotic, a slight change in reaction condition may yield totally different result.

web3 was stolen by cryptos. But the real web3 for me is stuff like: computing on the edge; local storage; service workers; PWAs; widely available and cheap CDNs, JAMStack type apps, and so on.
They are added and withdrawn on demand, or dropped all at once if router loses connectivity with another.

So really it's processing time of every node in the chain. Few seconds to few minutes, not really that different from DNS.

The advantage is that there is no updates if there is no changes, instead of update every time TTL expires but that's about it.
They aren't really cached. Routes are kept in the routing table as long as peers are responsive, if they stop responding to hello's or a link goes down to directly connected peer the routes are removed (or replaced with a less preferred one). While its possible to configure a router to keep routes in the table for a peer that is down for some time its typically not used unless you have a good reason for it.
My personal take is that almost everything related to cryptocurrency is not just bullshit but actively harmful.

What makes it worse is that the cryptobros co-opted Web 3.0 (the semantic web) for their branding. Granted, it was probably out of ignorance rather than malice, but it still rankles.

There are a TON of industries out there that have "tech people" but aren't tech. And if you find the right smaller one, you can be the "tech guy" while working entirely in a non-tech industry.
Very much relate to this comment.

I burned out twice. Both times I took a break with the intention of starting a new career.

The first time I considered getting into music professionally only to find that my colleagues were not only substantially more educated and technically capable but also that they had to focus a lot of energy on teaching and traveling. I had enough savings that when I returned to contract work I could do it very much part-time and pursue music heavily with little profit motive.

The second time I burned out I tried to get into the mental health space only to find that the training was too intense and that the pay was not going to be great unless I went back to grad school, again, which I was not interested in. Again, I returned to working part-time.

Eventually I found a role where I could work 30 hours per week with full benefits and people who I like. Plenty of vacation time for touring and attending music intensives.

At least for me, the key to preventing burnout is not working full-time which gives me time to start and end my day putting energy into satisfying my interests and passions with no profit motive.

There is an entire bio study about Circadian Rhythm by Dr Scachin Panda, highly recommend if anyone interested in tap into research. I am using one of his inspired app Ontime Heath to get my health back from COVID and working remote (with it's pros/cons), https://getontimehealth.com.
same here. I've been using obsidian for more than a year now, and my notes are highly categorized in a structured hierarchy. But I regularly feel this is not optimal (sometime a note could fall into 2 different branches of my hierarchy), and I can feel the friction it creates when I want to add a note but I first have to think where to put it.

So for people not leveraging folders, do you just create all the notes in the same folder ? (resulting on a folder with thousands of notes ? and then what's your process to add a new note ? do a search, see if there currently is a relevant note to ammend, if not create a new one ?
Why not? It's the most efficient way I could think of, to display the sheer quantity, timeline, and content of the "Covid predictions" that we were shown in the UK. They are easily clickable, to show the original context (typically a news story or press release). You'll also note that practically all of them extend for at least 6 months.

Also, you "asked for some". There they are - there's a lot of them.
There is plenty of examples in the documentation. The man page (man systemd-nspawn) is short and to the point.

As for your example,for regular daemons you probably want to use plain old unit files. You map ports with "Port=" and bind filesystems with "Bind=" ("/outside/data:/data" in your example). Again, plenty of examples in the documentation and in the Gentoo/Arch wikis which are excellent.

It also includes examples working with (not against) SELinux. Lots of other parts of the systemd family is nasty and full of surprises but this one pretty straightforward. systemd was built on cgroups from the ground up and it makes administering them fairly trivial.
They fired over 80% of their Colorado employees - no way that was performance-based.
Great example - this is why I stayed 100% in music. Even a fringe artist like Grimes claimed to have problems with her well respected label over creative issues. None of those problems for me.
I think [slotmap](https://docs.rs/slotmap/latest/slotmap/) could be on there somewhere, I have found it very useful for various projects. I guess it could be listed under datastructures?
I think you're mixing up try blocks with the old try! macro.
Seems easy enough to add your own overloaded function that does that. But then again, std::to_underlying() doesn't do much to begin with; it just casts to std::underlying_type<T>::type.
WW3 started years ago, and we have only just started to realise. The objective of this war is to turn the citizens of your enemies' countries into useless, self-absorbed, self-hating nobodies.

For those of you who have read The Hobbit, I see the "Culture War" as something more akin to the scene in that book where the trolls were turned to stone. That is - while we may think we are involved in some great "culture war", fighting the (online) forces of anti-democracy, bigotry, racism, etc etc - actually all that is intended is that we are arguing amongst ourselves.

Also I have been able to pawn or sell extra guitars acquired when works was better. Art tools can retain some value.
I went the other way, started in the charity sector then moved into tech, well, tech roles in non-profits. Totally get the impulse, and also why "doing meaningful work like supporting freedom on country X" doesn't appeal.

What really helped in my transition was the fact that I was able to carry over part of what I'd left behind. In my case, it was that I'd worked for non-profits, so I was a more attractive hire than people who were technically much stronger. After a quick year on shit money putting together a little experience, I actually had a nice pay bump when the dust settled.

The best stuff would be where you could still use some of your skills, but in a way that doesn't feel like you've got a tech job. Being able to bosh out a bit of code where needed makes you a wizard in a lot of areas.

Just spitballin', but someone with the ability to hack together scripts and quickly get their head around software can do wonders with architecture, "classical" engineering, VFX/3D, finance/accountancy. It wouldn't be for me, but if you've got decent cash together, most of the rich people I know get into some sort of investing or other.

I guess in the other direction. If I ever felt I needed to give my brain a serious break, I'd get back into kitchens. They're great places to work: fast, fun and completely different. I'd honestly struggle to keep up, but it'd keep me busy whilst I regroup.
Yes, they're linked by some form of government ID. Of course, it's probably very easy to get around that in some manner by just playing offline games or using a parent's ID.
What I don't get is that the big point about web3 is decentralisation and democratic access to data.

Plumbing.

Plumbers make a killing. You're also out and seeing different places, different locations, and clients generally treat you with respect. It's also physical work but not demanding, so should help with your health so long as the microbes don't get to you.
Counterpoint - my dad is a software engineering professor, and while he does get summers off, when he's working he's working very long days. There's always pressure to get grades in, generate new research papers, deal with politics, and deal with students.

Academia is far from a low-pressure career.
Good on you! I did something similar (tech to music), the irony is now I am drawn to programming as a hobby as there are some bits of the brain music just doesn’t exercise. On the whole a happier person.
I don’t think that’s idiotic. There is no standard way of transferring a file from on device to another. That is a failing of the tech industry.
On the contrary, it's a cudgel and he's using it as one. Quite a few things are more mask-off these days. You say 'silly behavior', I say 'Musk actively allied with Putin to support the Russian cause, and is ready and willing to weaponize Twitter toward that end'. I don't know what it is about that man (Putin) that makes oligarchs like him so much, but if you look at the record it's a hell of a thing.

And so it's not wasted money on Musk's part, it's spent for a purpose, to seize control of what seems to be the most connected social media phenomenon out there. Facebook had to be weaponized through Cambridge Analytica and it wasn't meant to be public-facing knowledge. At this stage apparently that doesn't matter anymore.

That or it's megalomanaical overreach. Which is possible :)
