Hi. I'm you, ten years ago.

You have already heard all the unsolicited opinions and suggestions from people who have no fucking clue what you're going through or what 6oige been through. You have been told "just do X, Y, Z" and have been given countless resources both local and national that others think would help you. You tried contacting a few and they were too demanding, demeaning, or discriminating.

You spent a lot of time learning helplessness even as you became self sufficient to the best of your ability. It wasn't enough either way. Nobody wanted to help you, they just wanted to tell you that they want to, and you discovered that you don't even want their help anyway because it comes with caveats and requirements that you simply cannot tolerate or meet.

You found a way to stay connected and survive despite all this. You know you can take care of yourself. You know you are worth someone's effort and time, but you can't find that someone. Every time you think you do, they fuck you over in some way.

The tiny things added up. A broken this, a missed that, a forgotten something by someone. Dominoes fell. There are plenty of individuals at fault but it's mostly the systems, or The System. The World Should Be Better, but it's not. People are assholes, churches and charities are grifters, there's no hope for those who proffer hope. You're right.

You're right. You're on your own. You're better than all of them.

Prove it.
I don't see a point of being loyal in an environment where the loyalty is rarely rewarded in kind.
Far out. This is amazing. The links included... Linux in a pixel shader ?!?! What? Very cool.
The beauty of Commodore 128D(CR) is astonishing. If only there were reproductions of this chassis and it was possible to cram modern (and rather beefy 7950X, so no dinky arm boards).
In most corporate compensation systems, the executives' bonuses are the most impacted when the company doesn't do well. The employees lower down are only rated based on personal performance, not the company's as they have no control over it. This is certainly the case with our company. There is no way to tell what is happening inside messagebird, or maybe someone has inside info?
For the record, this is my first time asking this question and it's the first time these links have been posted to this thread. I had no intention of misquoting you, nor do I believe I have done so. I'll be honest, I missed your mention of Millman & Halkias as I've scanned the thread. Why assume ill intent?

I love these! Thanks! However, I still take the same issue with them...

The first link still seeks to answer very different questions than the article. Note how there's still no mention of doping, depletion region, or really anything about how transistors actually work. It seems like it's more interested in answering "how would I use transistors?" instead of "how do transistors work?"

The second article is a lot closer in scope, but still skips the whole how and why semiconductors issue. It also feels like it relies on the user already having a practical background (and sure enough, it's module 3.3 of a full course).

To illustrate my point, I find the first three sections of the article to be the most interesting: The physics of conduction, The case of semiconductors, and Semiconductor junctions. I've yet to see similar treatment of these topics in any of the other links presented.

(Note: Millman & Halkias actually do seem to cover exactly this!)

> Also are you worried about the information or the presentation? You need non-handwavy info in textual format strictly.

Frankly, no. That's what courses and reference texts are for, and if you're working with electronics you can easily find one.

Since this was posted on HN, I view this article from the lens of a software engineer who's curious what goes on inside their processor. The type of person who has no intention of soldering anything together, but who would love an explanation for what makes their computer tick. Your short video did a fine job of this, but I personally find Ben Eater's the best YouTube content (hence why I mentioned only it), but I still maintain this is the perfect piece for curious hackers who prefer to read.
Major Cryovolcanic Eruption on a Comet – Spaceweather.com
I take your point. But how do you power this travel router? Also, does it have a 4G/LTE/5G SIM card? Otherwise, what is its modem; i.e. how does it route?
Lifer until the benefits that matter to me disappear.

I can't stress how much #6 impacts what makes someone a 'lifer'. By the time you are in 35+ and you've been in tech your entire career, you lean a few important life lessons that you witness the less experienced (both career and life) do all the time.

The bar of compensation is almost always goes up as you progress early in your career. You get used to your standard of living. Next thing you know, you want more money. Getting a promotion or new job that bumps your income, that standard of living naturally goes up. It's hard NOT to go on fancier vacations, upgrade your Honda to a Porsche, hire landscaper/housekeeper/dog walker, buy a bigger house, etc. Eventually, you run into a situation that throws a wrench in disposable income and you have to lower that bar. Then you realize money isn't the most important thing in your career. You learn that the difference between a total comp of $150k to $250k isn't as life changing compared to going from $75k to $150k, so what is the purpose of fighting for more?

When you are 35+, job stability is super important. You might have a family, a hefty savings/retirement account, etc. Whats most important is that work/life balance and not that RSU grant next quarter. Once you find a company that makes you comfortable, and you reach a level of seniority that isn't overwhelming/stressful, stay.
> I agree with your assessment that Alameda / FTX put customer deposits into “completely inappropriate investments”

And what about customers deposits that ended up in $300m+ real-estate in the Bahamas (including some for SBF's parents, which they now said they'd be giving back to FTX: how generous once caught with the hand in the cookie jar)?

And what about the $100m or maybe more in political donation? ($40m from SBF to dems, now he says he gave the same account to reps but kept it shadow for it'd ruin his woke image and there's one of his accomplice who gave at least $12m to reps too)

That's already $400m right there that haven't been wiped out due to a market downturn.

And then the naming rights, insane ads, etc.

"Oops sorry we fucked up, we used your funds to gamble with 100x leverage like degens and lost it all (but don't pay too much attention to all the money we actually siphoned out of the system)".

I don't think you can compare LTCM to FTX/Alameda (I'm not saying you explicitely did but it's dubious). We're talking about SBF guy describing his magic ponzi box and Matt Levine answering him (april 2022 I think):

"I think of myself as like a fairly cynical person. And that was so much more cynical than how I would've described farming. You're just like, well, I'm in the Ponzi business and it's pretty good.".

FTX/Alameda is more Enron than LTCM.
It's not that I just like money as well, it's that there is usually something I find irredeemable about the tech stack, product, or coworkers that causes me to subconsciously launch myself out of the job. Even when I consciously value potential stability that a lifelong gig would offer.
> However there is one caveat. If some of the data members are of a mutable class, Data does no additional immutability enforcement.

Seems like an area of concern / gotchas. Either restrict Data to not allow mutable nested objects, or provide immutable versions of stdlib object types as well and enforce that those types are used.

An outlet isn't terribly hard to add in a house, but I'm thinking about large open parking lots and garages where there is no wiring to hook into. Adding any kind of plug to spaces like this is going to require things like digging up asphalt and installing new structures.

Is it doable? Yeah, sure, in affluent areas with sufficient demand. I think EV adoption will continue to grow at a decent rate in these sorts of areas. Beyond those spots though, charging issues will be a significant barrier.
It's not the only ambiguous wording in the post; the math doesn't add up here. It's probably a peak of 254 million/hr.

"during Black Friday processed a whopping 254 million emails every hour and 3.3 billion during the day"
Is there source code available for this?
And I disagree, stuff like american Westbrook Church protesting on funerals should be illegal and I'm glad it is in my country.
I am not a lifer, but I know many people who are lifers. I switched job too many times, my stress is more than my lifer friends. Being a lifer is not too bad, if you want peace and stability.
How am I "trolling"? I'm asking honest questions because I want to know. What happens more often is that every Asahi Linux post gets dragged off topic praising the person's greatness in a cult like manner. That's why I mentioned "fanboyism" in some other post.

I'd prefer if we kept to technical discussion in these posts personally.
> Job market is weakening with no recovery in sight

What are you talking about? Unemployment is at historic lows, the job market hasn't been this good in a long time. Sure, some ad-revenue based companies are laying off some workers, but the market is great.
Can't remember why but I am pretty the second line is not needed
Or ... you just ignore the rules

I love ruby.
When I first read about Latent Space, it struck me as quite similar to the L-Space as described in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
I've got to wonder if part of the reason it seems insane is because we've gotten used to single/dual generation households. If you light candles on a tree, then it's a commitment for you or your partner to be in the same room as that tree until the candles are extinguished. But if there is an older generation sitting around to be on firewatch, then it doesn't seem so limiting.
Thank you. Really a great feeling. The initial feedback from our users was super helpful in fine-tuning the Supademo.
Do you think at least some of the content that was shared would have been purchased otherwise? We can't measure the impact directly but it's odd to assume that pirating content somehow does not affect the wellbeing of creators and other participants of the market.

I can say anecdotally with 100% confidence that when I can't easily find a freely available copy of a movie to watch online I pay for it.
Don't forget about all the two-year-old companies that never had a realistic business model to begin with. If they can't survive, who can? /s
Nothing sounds like a Merlin V12 aircraft engine. Audio recordings of it are all pretty sad. The real thing gets rarer every year.
Thank you for linking this here.
Well, there are some ways.....
People generally dont hang out that close to where the flow is active, however during the 2018 flow into Puna, there were a lot of people who got very close to it. Some wore gas masks, like the volcanologists who were taking lava samples but mostly because the fumes are noxious not because of Pele's hair.
A CEO is also an employee, who works for the owner(s) of the company. They're also going to have to answer for the company's poor performance.
> How do i know? It has happened to me.

Something happened to you. But it is not a "reproducibility problem".

I guarantee you, at CERN, several teams, and several experiments, reproduce the results without sharing the code. The Higgs boson was observed with 5 sigma of statistical significance, by Atlas AND CMS, and they did NOT share any code.

How do I know? It has happened to me.

The problem of reproducibility is not about sharing the code. If the paper does not provide a complete explanation and does not have the code, you will not be able to reproduce it. But if the paper provides a complete explanation and does not have the code, you will be able to reproduce it. Worst, if the paper does not provide a complete explanation and provide the code, you will NOT be able to reproduce the experiment: you will be able to re-run the code, including the part of the code that contains unsound hypotheses, incorrect equations, and ill-advised choices, without having the elements to understand why those things should not be like that. If you have the elements to understand "wait, this code should not do that", then you have the explanation that allows you to rewrite some code from scratch without needing the code in a first place.

> I'm sorry by being right I've offended your sensibility to the point that you need to insult me to feel whole again.

Sorry if I offended you. The fact that you have no idea of what you are talking about is the result of an observation: you truly don't understand the concept of "reproducibility in science". It is not an opinion, it is a demonstrated fact: I have given real life example where reproducibility is achieved despite not having used the code (for example, the reproducibility of the observation of the Higgs boson despite the code not being shared), while you argued that the lack of code is a problem for reproducibility.

The part on the conclusions being worthless is a simple logic consequence: if you base your premises on incorrect understanding, then your conclusion should be discarded.

Sorry if you became so emotional that you were unable to read a simple observation and logic statement without imagining it was a personal attack.
Top Open Source Projects( JavaScript,Java, and More)
With the popularity of open source, there is no shortage of projects to get involved. But, with so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start.

I’ll take this one step further:

Why bother to understand how either software development has solved a problem, or how maths+stats has solved a problem when you could just ignore operational practices and “train a neural network to do it”?

Hiérophante – Clichés (2015) [video]
I've been around for a while. Some companies can be great places to work... until they're not.

So, no, I wouldn't be a lifer in my early 40s. I'd be a "ride it out as long as it stays good", though. (Again, I've been around a while. If you have interesting work, good people, reasonable management, and good pay, think hard before you go somewhere else. That's not always easy to get.)
Thank you. I am glad you liked Supademo!

Take it for a spin when possible.
That website has visual bugs and lag in Firefox. When I combine that with my general stereotypes about Chrome devrel I think this isn't for me.
This is very very nice. Simple and straightforward. I just gave it a try with my niche little company react web-app project. It really did only take me several minutes to make a polished looking demo.

The best part to me was the way you simplified the cursor movement in the demo and made those stage-bars appear on the bottom. IMHO that's your core feature there. The only snag was that it wasn't immediately obvious to me that those stage-bars are something I'm supposed to click on. There was a brief second that I didn't quite get it - something about the way they transform on hover. (And I just now figured out that also clicking on the hotspot texts moves the slideshow forward.)

If I were you I would do some IRL user tests with difficult tech-illiterate Mom-type users. As a subscriber of this product I would want the peace of mind that all my clients are going to just "get" it and that I can work it in seamlessly into my stack.

That being said, it's clear to me that this is being developed based on user testing with a batch of existing paying users.
I had someone I trust tell me he used one and it was fine or good, which I was skeptical of but I believed and still believe him -- I just can't remember who told me :-D

I never quite made the switch

I had a chromebook at the time

I suspect you could just try the top 3 and see which you like

I think the aws one is free-ish -- they get you on... everything else. But I like the idea that it could be a complete ecosystem -- just have to be ok with lock-in.

I still like the idea of anvil.works

It's like VB for the web but all python

Just missing a lot still imo, depending on what you want to do
Everything is of course flavour preference but I found that liquid smoke is a great add-on that makes much veggie food taste good to meat eaters; it takes care of the smokey/charred flavour that you get using ham or frying your meat before you add other things.

And for umami tomato (fresh/canned & condensed) works wonders.
The "he didn't know anything, we coulda told him anything and he woulda bought it" line, which Sonderegger relayed from the DG guys, speaks more poorly of the DG guys than anyone else. I mean, if what a dummy he was for believing us is their critique of the work... that's gross, right?

Maybe I'm missing some crucial context or something.

Nice interview with Sonderegger.
I was part of a team that developed a business plan for reusing cardboard boxes with a collection plan. Our end plan was simple one for one reuse. There’s a company here that seems to have had some success. https://reboxcorp.com/

Corrugated cardboard is pretty incredible and strong stuff, and we also researched up-cycling cardboard into other products like furniture, picture frames, cabinets and more. As you say, most cardboard is downcycled into cereal boxes (box board.)
Every person on there is a credentialed health professional as is Dr Bhattacharya I'm happy to have access to their opinions and for them to have the right to communicate.

Sorry if you feel like your, (assumed) lay opinion, supersedes theirs. Even if you are a health professional, you have no monopoly on the right to express opinions.

Wanting to silence other professionals in your field is a quack / scammer viewpoint in and of itself.
You were plainly corrected an hour before you reposted this falsehood.

> Fauci's more detailed quote from your link:

> “So even though there are breakthrough infections with vaccinated people, almost always the people are asymptomatic and the level of virus is so low it makes it extremely unlikely — not impossible but very, very low likelihood — that they’re going to transmit it”

> And my understanding is that, in May of 2021, that was very much true and that studies did show that the vaccine greatly reduced transmissibility. With new variants, though, the original vaccines, while still being protective against severe disease, did a much worse job against preventing mild illness and transmission.
What if the $business is owned by Mark Zuckerberg?
Yes, very much. It is designed for sub-cultures.

Yes — this argument makes a lot more sense to me compared to “kloc of C/C++”.
It seems to me too many don't know how big is Spring framework. You can do basically everything with OOTB starter. Enterprise projects are a breeze to develop with Spring Boot.
Kragen, how much of what you said here about Forth also applies to PostScript, do you think?

I have been tinkering with PostScript but not Forth, I grok that PostScript is a lot closer to LISP. A lot of people (without actually learning these languages/systems) say Forth and PS are similar, but I know that's not really the case - their resemblance is fairly superficial.
I really want to play with Godot RL Agents but I want to do vision based learning and that’s a bit down their road map. If anyone wants to contribute to add that feature I’d love you!

Great work scratching your own itch! Not as easy addition to the workflow as it doesn't have a CLI but I think that's intentional or not a priority for you.

I backed out from maintaining a big Tailwind CSS plugin let alone create my own solution.

Similar to React, I don't think Tailwind CSS is easy to replace regardless of the slightly better alternatives that exist or might popup up due to its established community.
The legal position of starting off as a free person and having that taken away is not at all analogous to one of someone who starts out as an unfree person (child) and has (or hasn't) reached self agency. Pretty disingenuous analogy, and even then we're ignoring the contextual differences typical present between mother/father/guardian and a government apparatus. This is seen time and time again, for example the burden for a parent to not have their kid removed is not at all the same as the burden to get your kid back from state custody. That is the decision making path (grant agency to non-free person vs don't remove agency to free person) is not symmetrical in either direction as you mistakenly suggest towards.

Also If we're going by someone with compromised mental faculties, I would say an organization (state of New York) who physically and/or sexually abuses the disabled* is not fit to make these decisions. The New York State government has proven themselves to have compromised mental faculties and thus unable to make these decisions to violently/forcibly institutionalize the portion of 'mentally ill' adults who don't aggress upon others. In part New York paired down their institutions because they were such terrible places for these people to be, often worse than in the gutter with teeth rotting.

IMO even the disabled, especially if they are not acting in a criminal capacity, should be asked for their consent before violently being forced into institutions of physical and sexual abuse for which New York is known.

*grep for my below comment about Willowbrook State School where we discover the (mentally disabled) children you worry so much about are actually abused by New York when institutionalized.
Why would you want to talk to people who are wrong?

Sometimes I don't care which political party the barista voted for, I just want to get my coffee.

People and programs are never perfect. Type checked program is not guaranteed to be correct, it just has stronger constraints.
I agree but it's worse with science news. There are a few science sites that just cut and paste the press release from the university. When the press release is horrible but linkbaity, the only good part is that I can take a look at the research paper and wikipedia. So when it's reposted from another URL I can write a comment trying to fix the press release or debunking the article.

I actually prefer to read \newest . The discussions in the front page usually have so many comments and the discussion gets less technical. Repetition and spam is a problem, but it's nice to find a few jewels from time to time.
Congrats on your launch.
I just found that there was a company with similar idea made into YC.

Small idea can sometimes turn into something big.
Keep it up.
That's a completely different question, of course. But to answer: on many occasions I am not committed to a particular movie, so just watch it in the background for a while and might end up not finishing. Sometimes I don't want to deal with different services or even a subscription required to watch a single movie/show legally (Paramount+ on Amazon or a Netflix show). Again, if I have to I will pay, but the convenience of free movie websites is great.

There are probably other reasons but I would be really surprised if my behavior was an exception. I can pay for movies but it's more convenient not to (sometimes).
