Such a false narrative. Literally every thread about Apple, Google, or Microsoft has people bashing Apple, Google, and Microsoft, even when the topic has absolutely nothing to do with the companies not named in the headline.

2 hour round trip * 5 days/week * 48 working weeks/year * 20 years = 9,600 hours commuting. Assuming 16 hours awake per day, that's 600 days of your life over two decades.

> Everyone faces different risks: inflation, extreme weather, mortgage rates

Even as a relatively sophisticated investor (compared to the median) I wouldn't really know how to hedge correctly on these markets.

For example if inflation is high, how many units do I buy. Am I fully hedged, or can I lose the bet AND lose in real life?

I think users need to understand these things to use it. Some of that is education, and some will be tools.

For example, enter your salary, expenses, budget etc, and it recommends a bet, and then shows you the outcomes if you win or lose.

It should be clear that for example YOUR cost of living might go up more than inflation because you buy different things from the inflation basket.

This is a bit like insurance, in the sense you may pay for health insurance, or travel insurance then find your thing isn't covered.

I would also be interested in the tax implications. For example you do a bet to hedge your foreign holdings of say GBP. GBP goes down so you win from the bet and lose in real life. But you still pay tax on the bet (or do you ... ?).

I think this is a cool idea.

I think the more useful idea for the everyday person is something akin to a "1kg of tomatos a week prepaid subscription for 5 years" aggregated over their typical shopping.

That all said trying to tame the future is a hard beast. And expensive to insure yourself against all the things. Especially likely things, like shit getting more expensive!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I think i need to dig into that article to try to understand this better.
HEY. I'm looking for dependable, C9 lights. Would you know where to look? I love the look of the old-timey large bulbs, but so far the lights I've found have been; a) overly expensive and b) not able to withstand more than one winter in the upper-Midwest.

Any recommendations?

I'm in a similar, but slightly different place. I've been in technology roles for 28 years. I've been at my current company for the large majority of those years. For me it's not the technology that I've lost interest in, but all the other parts. The political squabbles, the red tape, the broken processes, and the lack of competency in general. If I could just concentrate on the technology, and deliver great products, I'd be in a much happier place.

I believe a significant part of my problem is that all those things I'm not a fan of come with the seniority I have. I'd be happier, work-wise, as a junior dev without those responsibilities. My lifestyle, unfortunately, doesn't support such a move.
I don’t know if it’s that surprising that a massive corporation like Volkswagen has set up an account on a Mastodon server.

Which is more likely (not to imply these are the only two options) :

1) They are going to close their Twitter account and move away from their 700,000 followers (@VW only, VW UK have another 175k for ex.) because of some ideological view.

2) Some high up has seen Mastodon mentioned in the press, and instructed their team “we should get registered on that” without understanding at all what it is, because if it is actually the next best thing, spending 5 minutes to register costs nothing.

Yeah. DG was HQd in Massachusetts--about an hour west of Boston. It was a "Route 128" minicomputer company but actually just off 495.

I'm not sure what was down in NC at the time but when I joined a few years later there was a manufacturing plant in Apex and, at some point, software development in Research Triangle Park. A lot of the later Unix development as well as at least databases was in RTP.
IT is such a big domain. Can you be more specific? I've been coding for 35+ years across an extremely broad range of topics and can't get enough of it. I do it on my free time.

There is no real market participant who could benefit from hedging in sports betting. Only sports betting operators themselves, and the teams (who are legally forbidden from participating in betting).

But in a commodity market there are real participants whose primary business model is production, being able to hedge against future price swings provides real value to these businesses.
400,000 current H-1B visa holders[0] divided by 999 at-risk holders (article describes "hundreds") leaves us with less than 0.25% of the visa-holding population at risk. It's very possible that I'm heavily overstating that percentage. How is this even news?

The art of lobbying is to wait for power vacuums.

I have a printer at home I use maybe once a month, if that...to print mailing labels, mostly, or forms for obscure agencies that are far more effort to talk to electronically to make it worthwhile (I had to print a letter from my mother's doctor to get her out of jury duty, because the alternatives were a paper letter or a fax...).

At work, I print to PDF. There's a printer nearby, but I've never used it.

I strongly agree with this:

"In contrast, I have felt very burned out in relatively nice jobs - thoroughly pleasant environments with minor workloads."

For me, I feel the most intense burnout when I see stupidly wasted opportunities. For instance, if a startup has a great idea and plenty of funding, but the leadership is hopelessly stupid and engages in self-sabotage (and perhaps I try to save the situation but I'm ignored) and millions of dollars are wasted, then I get burnout. I felt burnout in 2016, after witnessing the insanely self-destructive leadership at "Celelot" destroy a brilliant idea, which I wrote about here:

I've found that the further away I get from "hacky, simple, works" scripts that wow the uninformed the less I enjoy my work.

I wrote a Greenhouse bookmarklet for our Head of People a while back. All it did was click buttons, poll the page for content, and copy/paste some text. It took me two hours. It was such a magical experience hopping on a call, demoing the bookmarklet, and being told I'd saved someone tens of hours.

In contrast, I spent the last few months building out a greenfield, microservice architecture that product wanted in anticipation of a new feature that was going to need to scale to the moon. It was a real technical challenge but, in the end, business needs changed and it never saw the light of day.

I know that when I first got into programming - I didn't know all the complex stuff. I just saw things in the world I wanted to affect with programming - and then did. Over time, I learned to tolerate all the BS that gets in the way of making magic happen in exchange for an ever-growing paycheck. Each step along the way made sense, but, upon reflection, the magic has been incrementally bled out from my passion all in an attempt to best utilize my abilities.

Consider building something simple for a non-techy friend who needs some help. You might be able to catch sight of the magic you feel you've lost by looking into their eyes as you deliver what you've made.

Kubeshark: The API Traffic Viewer for Kubernetes
Kubeshark (formerly Mizu) is an observability and monitoring tool that captures all the network traffic inside a Kubernetes cluster, including ingress, egress and across containers and pods.

Kubeshark can even capture and display the encrypted (TLS) traffic using various Linux kernel technologies. It supports a wide variety of application layer protocols and RPCs like gRPC, GraphQL, etc.

Kubeshark is open-source and free to use. It has a large userbase.

We recently renamed the project from "Mizu" to "Kubeshark". Please give Kubeshark a shout-out. It's a carefully crafted tool by a handful of Kubernetes enthusiasts for Kubernetes enthusiasts!

How popular is the part of the product that is impacted? Do analytics show that it’s not that bad, and that the bug might go unnoticed? Is the bug resulting in an utterly negative experience, or is it something that the user can work around? Might the bug actually be already part of their workflow? Is fixing the bug going to raise more questions than letting it be? And a nice lump of gut feel on top of this.
Having first been exposed to the DFT in a very similar matter to this text, I think there is a significant advantage in first deriving it from the discrete time Fourier transform (DTFT, not to be confused with DFT, and notwithstanding the name is actually a continuous function) instead of trying to introduce it independently on its own. This is the approach taken in Oppenheim and Schafer textbook, but requires the reader have a bit more background in mathematics.

In this way, the DFT is seen as a sampling of the DTFT when the signal is convolved with a window function, and explains why the spectrum of a signal is smeared when its period is not a multiple of the transform size. This textbook says "there is no leakage when the signal being analyzed is truly periodic and we can choose N to be exactly a period, or some multiple of a period" -- actually there still is, it's just that the DFT happens to sample precisely at the nulls of those sidelobes. The sidelobes are further seen as a consequence of the window function, and explains why certain window choices have better sidelobe attenuation at the tradeoff of wider main lobe/lower frequency resolution.
Maybe so, but it isn't someone in IT's job to point this out.

As ever, I propose that laws abridging freedoms first be applied to the politicians enacting them.

Any misinformation from the political class should be punished equally.

This law makes it not just illegal to be wrong, but illegal to be in disagreement with the orthodoxy.

I'm also disgusted by the arrogance that the only reason people could disagree is because of misinformation. They seem baffled that anyone might not agree with the "truth", and it must be because they are stupid and listen to misinformation, something they are too smart to fall for.

This is not a rebuttal of what you are saying and I think your caution is valid, but your post prompted a musing about observations of my elders (all whom have now passed away.)

All of my grandparents and great aunts/uncles who lived through the great depression and ww2 (some actively fighting and some not), all the men and women seemed to be quite traumatized and in fact much of their personality seemed permanently defined by the great depression, even more so than ww2 (with the exception of one uncle who was in a foxhole during the battle of the bulge.), often to the point of irrational and even harmful decision making, including hoarding in a couple cases.

This was true even though none of them were financially ruined, forced to move, destitute or food insecure during either period.

I think cultural contagion, existential worry and trauma/coping mechanisms/adaptive personality change existed prior to the plugged in life and 24/7 news cycle (though those two things exacerbate it for sure.)

I realized I didn't hate the industry or the work, I hated the people. So I got out of "real tech" and got into the tech side of the kind of industry that tech industry people seem to think is quite evil, Wall Street. And sure, I'm probably not making the world a better place but at least theres plausible deniability. When I worked in real tech it was pretty obvious that unless I adopted a very specific set of beliefs (loosely summarized as "naive tech optimism") I was making the world a worse place. I'm happy mostly not having to deal with the kind of people I had to deal with in tech.
I find singling out Tarantino kind of odd here. He's an indie-style filmmaker who attracted a lot of attention and now makes big-budget movies with very big stars.

Which is great, for those who like his particular films. But there are literally thousands of other filmmakers making films every year who don't attract the kind of attention Tarantino does. His films aren't better than theirs -- he's just famous enough that we've all heard of him, and he continues to produce exactly the kinds of thing that you specifically like.

There are tons of things to dig into if you want. Netflix does a better job than most of surfacing small filmmakers (because they can get them cheaply). Film festivals have even more -- more than you can possibly watch in ten lifetimes. Most of it, of course, is dreck -- same as everything else.

I'm glad your friend likes Tarantino, but it just feels a bit like saying, "Gosh, I wish they made more stuff like Tarantino." What I want is an alternative to both Tarantino and the major studios -- and it exists. It just takes more effort.

May I ask:

- How is your happiness and your energy levels outside of work?

- How is your cognitive performance at work? (Can you focus, are your thoughts 'foggy', do you have any issues working out complex tasks/solutions that you used to solve without issue etc....)

- Are you empowered in your job/role/team to make changes / improvements as you see fit, without being significantly limited or blocked by others?

--

I'm someone whose always gained a large portion of their energy from their work. When work wasn't going well it massively impacted my personal space / energy.

When my cognitive ability was impaired I found that all the rewards that technical work used to afford me disappeared, I was considering looking for options outside of engineering - or at least pivoting to less hands-on work, however I managed to completely fix my cognition and as soon as I did so - work was enjoyable again, and as such - my personal time as well.
