I'm a paying Pinboard customer (switched from a grandfathered-in one-time payment to an annual archival subscription). I've loved Pinboard for a long time, and really want to continue to love it.

It's felt to me for a long time that Maciej is burnt out and Pinboard is on a slow death spiral. It's one thing to leave good-enough alone and not develop new features, but it's another to not fix the things that are broken and let the product continue to gather rust - especially when you've moved your customers from one-time payments to subscriptions.

It's really too bad - it seemed like there could have been an enormous amount of inertia after the rather poetic del.icio.us acquisition, and the release of the archival feature was promising.

I'm still hopeful though, and that's why so far I continue to pay my $40/year.

It’s basically a return to the days of HTML without CSS. CSS classes are not applied as an abstraction of different visual styles or components, but purely as tools to define visuals in situ.

I suppose it’s easier to reason about, but it feels like it was invented by that grug brain dude who likes solving lots of problems but hates thinking.
Why more profitable crops are not grown instead? Maybe Alfalfa is the only profitable thing. And with fair water rights even that wouldn’t be grown. Which would probably be better than current situation.

I always thought this too. Just googled "how many nuclear reactors for all worlds energy needs". First result: "Why nuclear power will never supply the world's energy needs" [1].

Global energy needs at 15TW. Would need 15K nuclear plants total. Currently we have 440 @ 375GW total.

It's an interesting read.

But I agree that it is completely absurd that climate activists make such dire predictions of apocalyptic scenarios, and then won't consider a completely obvious stop-gap that would buy 100 years to get our act together.

A good place to start is their official "tour".

I found it a little bit redundant coming from already knowing common programming constructs and C, but it was still a good introduction to the syntax and especially for the more unique features like Goroutines.

Negotiation works when some company specifically wants you.

If you're one of the other 99% of hires you're going to be placed at some salary which has been already budgeted and approved for your position. There's some leeway there but it's not more than a single digit percentage, although I agree with patio11 and others saying that an extra 5-10K/year just for asking politely is not a bad deal.
At this point, just get rid of search entirely and force feed me the one exact video that maximises your ad revenue. Stop beating around the bush.
About 14 months ago, I started going to WeWork because of all the news about how horribly mismanaged it was. I thought it would be good value for my dollar since so much was being “subsidized” by the SoftBank investment. The rumors were true! An extremely nice (extremely empty) building with great amenities for a fair price.

I ended up renting a 1-person office for a discounted rate of about $450/month. At my last renewal, I was told that discount was no longer available because 1-person offices at my location were in such high demand. So I gave it up and switched back to the “All Access” membership for $299/month which basically grants access to the shared spaces and phone booths in the building.

The issue is that there’s nearly an entire floor of empty office space in the building. But it’s built out in the form of open offices for 30, 50, or 100-person companies. There just seems to be no interest in that but high interest from individuals who want a private office.

I’m curious to see if my location will be affected by the closures. If it isn’t, I can only shake my head and wonder how bad of shape some of these buildings are in financially.
> The layoffs in Silicon Valley come after a decades-long trend at tech companies to “live and breathe” your job and make it part of your identity.

I think I made the defection a decade ago when I, getting older, started taking an exercise break in the middle of the day — at first running for 20 to 30 minutes (later that became 20-30 minute walks as my knees got bad).

It seems a little odd that I should feel guilt about popping out for a half-hour each day to exercise. Perhaps the guilt was with regard to my co-workers who were still slaving away back at the bit-mill while I took in the sun and breeze of Cupertino. To be sure, I knew of some employees that popped off to take advantage of the gym that Apple provided. (I don't think I judged them per se — maybe wondered to myself how they coped with their own guilt, ha ha.)

But guilt is certainly what I felt and I think it took my aging and concern for my health that made me decide that there were a few things more important than my job. But this was maybe the first moment when I consciously thought, "Yeah, this is just a job; they don't really care about my health; I'm going to do this for me."
I totally understand how you feel, but I think I disagree. After I'm dead, my body is of no use to me. I'm gone. Like Elvis, I will have "left the building". I'm not an ancient Egyptian and so I neither believe in the afterlife nor in my body being of use to me there. And bodies are definitely a boon to science and medicine; they help the living! What can be more uplifting than that?

However, if the body of a loved one who has passed away were to be treated without respect, it would upset me a lot.
Funily enough I have sat at the table and it went down the opposite.

The underpaid lifer, with tons of internal knowledge was thrown out over the shiny new grifter who convinced them they were the second coming and they threw money at. There was also a lot of confirmation bias as they were sure the story was true.

The target audience is "industry/professional IoT". I guess this is mainly targeted at prototyping projects or hooking something existing up to the web with some "realtime" I/Os, giving people the opportunity to stick to 61131. Existing solutions that offer you BLE/WiFi in this sector are usually terrible and just branded routers with "industrial grade" components. This is probably not suited for or targeted at automating your next big high-runner molding machine or high-speed motion-controlled application, as you already figured out.
If you speak out against someone - it’s likely your first time doing so.

But if the person really is a rapist or whatever, they know how to navigate the system because they’ve been spoken out against before - they’ll know exactly how to attack and destroy your reputation.

Game theory leans toward whispering to protect yourself and others without getting destroyed.
Knowing what other people with the same title at current, and similar, employers will definitely improve people’s ability to negotiate. But that’s not the real information employees need. What is really secret is the true value of the labor the employee is producing to the company.

Imagine salaries are completely public. A team of co-workers finds out that they are all being paid $200k each, and are happy with that. But if they only knew that their labor generates $2 million in profits for the company, each. They should be getting paid something like $1.8 or $1.9 million per person. The execs are ripping them off big time.
I'm watching a video about Z and the algorithm thinks that people who watched Z will also like X. Meanwhile there are ad bids for people who like Z, and also for people who like both Z and X. The Z+X auction outbids the Z-only buyers. If I click the next Z video instead of X, Google only gets paid the lower bid.
If you're really new to Go, but familiar with other programming languages, I would recommend starting with the tour (https://go.dev/tour/welcome/1) - I think it explains some of the differences between Go and other languages pretty well and gets you up to speed on the basics fast, without having to install anything. Once you have done that, you can continue with the "official" documentation listed on https://go.dev/doc/ which includes "Effective Go" (some useful recommendations) and the FAQ.
I think that's exactly what's happened, but it's led to demand of drop-in rather than permanent offices (WeWork does both). We have an office in one of the 40 locations being closed, and it's mostly an office location (I'm not sure if you can even book a day pass there).

My guess is that they will move to expand drop-in and bookable spaces, and reduce the number of private offices. Already I've seen some private offices turned into bookable meeting rooms.
> Military in my experience...

What sort of experience do you have with the military?

As someone who has served in the U.S. military, loyalty is absolutely drilled into you; it's integral to battle readiness, which is ultimately the military's goal. They instill the value of loyalty as far as it serves to make soldiers that are willing to fight and die for each other and for their country.

That doesn't extend to any and everything, but I don't think any of your arguments that the military creates a culture of cheating are substantiated. The military actually creates disincentives from cheating that do not exist in the civilian world with the UCMJ.

>so almost noone had more than one apartment, noone had a too-large apartment

actually the apartments were reletively very good quality, and often buildings were made as part of a grander urban project

anyway im not saying the system was perfect. this shouldnt need to be said. but it did solve certain problems rather quickly
Demand for cars is higher than ever, so is the manufacturing of almost all goods, as proven by the supply chain bottleneck in the last 2-3 years. The demand is still there, and is growing thanks to millions of people in places like India, China and Africa getting out of poverty.

What exactly have smartphones been replacing lately? Other than PC computers, which ironically also saw a comeback thanks to WFH?

You're probably seeing things only from your own tiny bubble, not from the global perspective.

Neighbours didn't see anything. Bob and Charles once had a minor dispute over one parking in front of the other's house. The cops didn't check for DNA or fingerprints. Bob's claim he was watching TV would fit with his normal habits, he is a film lover.
Some of us think that doing our job should be enough to be fairly compensated without having to take on the additional duty of continually fighting for it.

But since that isn't how things work in glorious capitalist utopia, I just slack off hard core instead. I don't need the money near as much as I need my time back.
There is no objective wealth. People use money as a record of bookkeeping until it serves them a purpose. Once people feel the system is unfair or they go hungry all your numbers on a screen mean nothing. Once a fascist is elected and everything is nationalized all those numbers mean nothing. Once birthrates drop, once a billion people start migrating, once you piss of somebody with actual power (guns, mob, crony system…) see if your money or a record in some ledger that you own something means anything. Unequality is one of the major signals for a system toppling down, people don’t say well I don’t have money I guess I’ll let my children starve, too bad
That sells very well in a boom economy, but when things are tight, companies are much more cost conscious. Think of how the Dollar Store has strong profits during recessions.

What I find interesting now is seeing which companies have structured themselves to survive recession-like economic times. Really shows who has sustainable business models and who doesn't.
My concern is that urine contains salts and may not be an appropriate replacement for deionized water.
> My doctor almost warned me about getting vaccinated - said it was untested, long term side effects wholly unknown and said it could have complications regarding the autoimmune system.

> But now doctors can't even tell you their opinion in some states.

In most jurisdictions, physicians are certainly allowed and able to state their personal opinion on a medical matter when talking to their patients personally. There just may be limitations as to what they can say publicly, especially when evoking the impression that their opinion represents an official guideline or scientifically accepted fact.

Sometimes, doctors aren't even that well-informed themselves either. Your doctor's statement that Covid vaccines are untested and long-term side effects are largely or even wholly unknown is patently false, for example.

COVID-19 vaccines have been thoroughly tested before having been administered to the general public. Furthermore, since COVID-19 vaccines are among the most widely used drugs in medical history, any long-term side effects would be known by now due to the huge sample size.

'Long-term effect' in this respect doesn't mean "effect that will only occur in the long run" but "effect that will manifest relatively shortly after administration but have a lasting effect on the patient".
Doing that in C is not that hard with OpenMP, you don't even have to fiddle with threads and/or manually parallelize your code. Just an example: https://tildesites.bowdoin.edu/~ltoma/teaching/cs3225-GIS/fa...
Not numbers, but at the base of the pyramid you should see one notch on every side for a small one, 2 notches on every side for a medium one, and 3 notches on every side for a large one.
But then you can just look up a company that does pay their high performers more, and apply there. And if that happens often enough employers have to consider if paying top talent more money isn't a worthwhile strategy after all (maybe they decide it isn't, but employees will be free to react appropriately)
They also removed the ability to change the viewing speed when casting or in the Android TV app.

I apologize for misunderstanding your statement. Thank you for clarifying! I'd still be interested in who you read that have lead you to this if you're interested in sharing more.
There is an element of failure to negotiate, and to renegotiate, involved but if that's where your thinking stops you're missing the point. It's not just that the person involved didn't ask for a raise. It's also the fact that everyone above them who was privy to salary data accepted it. Every single person in a higher management role was perfectly OK with two people doing the same job being paid significantly different salaries.

And then you start wondering if you're being underpaid too. Do all the people above you know how much of a sucker you are for accepting the lowball rate?

It's a problem for people who get promoted to a level where they get to peek behind the curtain and see all the things that the company has been doing wrong all the time they've been there, and the realisation that all the other people are fine with it. It kind of gets to you after a while.
I agree with you! My point is that Gruber claims the sloppiness is intentional and actively resists fixing it. And if he -- the creator -- is not on board with standardizing markdown, maybe the whole endeavor is a dead end?

I mean, it could be done even against his wishes, but the project would already be starting with a big negative.

When I was in high school, the standard weeknight entertainment was driving up and down main street in vehicles that got about 8 mpg.

Today, standard weeknight entertainment for high school boys is multi-player video games.

Yes, multi-player video games are still slightly carbon positive. But they're about a million times better than driving up and down main street. That's massive progress.

Next, what's the environmental and economic impact of a forest ranger? They're adding significant economic value to the economy and also hopefully doing significant good for the environment.

It's not a hard stretch to imagine that the economy of 2200 will consist mostly of holodeck's and forest rangers. It's very possible that GDP will be growing and the environment will be getting better in most ways. Just like the rivers and forests of North America are better than they were 80 years ago.
fzf, hub, syncthing. Possibly also scc if for some reason you're not running tokei or loc.

I can sell on Amazon. Or I used to be able to. Most recently I tried to use my account to sell some iPad/tablet/phone stands for a school. They were brand new, never opened. Amazon wouldn't let me list them unless I could prove I got them from the manufacturer or something.

It sucks.

I'm sure the reason is because of fraudulent items, which also sucks.

Pretty bad catch-22.

Anyway, I got this seller account to sell a couple of books. Used it a couple of times a decade. If I won an iPhone in a raffle, I'd absolutely be trying to sell it on Amazon.
That isn't exactly standard go or even tiny go, it is their custom go from one vendor that supports one SOC family from one vendor.

As you say, it isn't hard to design a better systems language than c, but I don't think it is hard to design one better than go either.

The key is that isn't enough to be better. The amount of inertia behind c is so much greater than any of its predecessors just by virtue of time and the growth of the industry.

ADA was better, but had bad timing and bad marketing and was encumbered by price. It still did pretty well just on its merits. But a lot of ada domains got reverted to c or c++ for developer supply and interest. Right or wrong, ada wasn't "cool".

I see rust much farther ahead on the adoption path. And while it isn't perfect or even revolutionary, it is an improvement, and the cool kids like it so management lets me use it.
I’m sure it was known but I bet everyone just assumed they were staring at death. Once that first surfer and jet ski driver got brave enough to demonstrate it was survivable it was game on.
The term "evolution" now apparently just refers to the history of life on Earth -- this article sheds no light on the mechanisms by which evolution is supposed to have occurred, which is the thing people find so puzzling. Various species are posited to be "related" to each other, by which they mean something like what we would mean if we discovered that the iPhone 14 is "related" to the iPhone SE more so than it is to a Samsung Galaxy -- meaning that they have similar templates and attributes, not that one is descended from the other. If by the "evolutionary riddle" you mean "how could evolution possibly have occurred" then you will find no answer in this article.
