Interesting (I think), but the page lacks a problem statement that the project seeks to solve.

As others have noted, "make all software programmable" seems a bit vague. And it's vague because there's no problem in there. When is software not programmable?

I think the idea is to make application extensions easier to integrate (like photoshop plugins), but I'm not sure.

Start with the problem statement, and everything else will fall into place. Leave out the problem statement, and leave your readers mystified.

Does China still want Taiwan if it's no longer technologically relevant? My understanding is that China is making similar strides in its own chip industry to the point where TSMC won't be as nearly as useful to them in 10 years as it is now.

Using Pico to get state from LED lights is ingenious. Mad props! If you just want to control infrared devices and set their state without first reading their state (like any standard IR remote), looking into BroadLink RM4 Mini. Works with almost everything I've thrown at it.
I've burned out a few times, each time the only way to recover was a new job.
The first time was ~4 years ago. Company I worked at did agile but required you hit 10 points a week. If you didn't you were pipped. On top of that the only way you could really hit the points was to work ~60 - 70 hour weeks. You were not allowed to consider how long implementing a ticket would take when scoring a ticket only how hard it was. This led to strife when scoring tickets. When covid first hit and the world was insane and my kids had to do home schooling (I have been remote for ~5 years) I hit 8 points the first couple sprints. I was pipped. Things like this, many 90+ hour weeks, debugging and fixing data in production, and being asked to lie to clients fried me. I burned out, would sit there staring at a screen for 8 hours and get like 30 minutes of work done.

After that my next job was immediately 90 hour weeks for 2 months. Not just me, dozens of people. I had coworkers weeping during standup on many occasions. Luckily I was contract so I got paid OT. Most of my coworkers did not. After a ~4 months of insane hours I just said screw it and refused to work more than 45. Everyone just dealt with it but they had to work more hours, I felt bad. Same job, next project we had no one to write requirements. so I had to do that which is not my skillset plus code. A year in, I burned out, would sit there staring at a screen for 8 hours and get like 30 minutes of work done. I lasted for another 6 months before quitting. Funny thing was even burned out I was getting more work done than most and they freaked out when I quit.

This current job I am a tech lead. It started off pretty good and I still dont work OT but my scrum master did nothing for the first 6 months so it all fell on me. He got fired but they are not backfilling him so its all on me. On top of that I have to manage developers including writing tickets for them, and manage up. Which means I lose 2 days a week essentially writing reports for leadership and doing busy work. I have come to hate standups. I don't think I am burned out here yet but I feel it coming on. I really need to take a vacation. Not a go somewhere with the kids one, just a stay home for 2 weeks and destress one.

Interestingly this all started when I started working in agile shops. Its just constant pressure, always a race.

> Having an appointment at least makes you sure you will get it done around that time and schedule your day around it. Showing up without one makes it impossible to plan for the rest of the day if you are unfortunate to go do it on a bad day, no?

Theoretically yes, but practically it's moot. Were I live I don't think I've ever had to wait in line more than 10-15 minutes, even at what seemed to be "busy times." If the wait times are that short, it's more trouble to make an appointment and still wait about that long.
You can release your games for PCs and have enough market share to be sustainable. You can't just release your app on the web and have the exact same experience as a native application, there's no alternative with enough market share for mobile platforms.

Do you really not see a difference between these worlds or are you being purposefully obtuse and ignoring reality to try to push your point?

It's again an example from HN threads/commenters completely ignoring degree and level of issues and instead forcing a black-and-white view with broken analogies...
> 150 million DAU. Say 10% of these tweets contain pictures of average size 300kB each & 1% of tweets contain videos of about 100MB each.

My assumption would be that a new image is uploaded per 1000 tweets a day. As retweeting an image is more popular, that doesn't occupy space.

And 100 MB videos are pretty rare. Most are short, few seconds.

> The most recent attacks against us involved the creation of companies in the United States very similarly named to those of our shareholders (which have since been dissolved). We believe those may have been used in an effort to do something cyber-physical however our only evidence of that has been an attempt to gather more information about our company through insurance inquiries by these companies (which were caught and stopped).

This particular claim is the most interesting. If true, it would be a big story, and if false, it seems like it would open up fraud charges against Rachel.

My method was to spend 25 years listening to colleagues mumble about Category Theory and slowly picking up the basics. Even I didn't really use Category Theory in my abstraction work. It's just that after months of effort to crack my problem, I showed my pages of work to the Category Theory folks and they were like "oh, it's simply Yoneda this and Yoneda that and your proof can be done in 4 lines.".

That said, if I had to guess at what would be effective at getting up to speed without spending 25 years, would be to checkout https://github.com/hmemcpy/milewski-ctfp-pdf Category Theory for Programmers. Milewski was one of those people who were like "Oh, it's simply Yoneda this and Yoneda that", and he figured it out all himself in parallel without seeing my proof.

But I doubt it will be like, knowing Category Theory will enable you to have super powers for abstraction design. Rather it will be a matter of having enough mathematical tools at your disposal plus the right inspiration at the right time to realize that ones of those tools can happen to solve your abstraction programming problem you happen to be facing at some moment, in a way that is not obvious, if you are lucky. In fact, you likely have to first guess at what the right abstraction is and then fall back on Category Theory to verify the sanity of your guess.
Good post. Honestly though, I’m more interested in making smart devices dumb. Rip out their Wi-Fi hardware etc.
There is some utility to having fixed length formal"Plan - Execute - Review" cycles.

So Mozilla is flatly stating that Rachel's Gish galloping bullshit responses in the discussion were a significant part of the reason they don't trust her. She should have just followed a good lawyer's advice and kept her mouth shut, because she made her own problems much worse with her own words.
I really don't like agile. It feels like you are always racing to the end just so you can start a new race. There is never a pause.

Yeah there's a screwup here. The earlier calculation is 0.54 PB of data per five years, not per day, including a tripling of the cost to achieve 3-way replication.

The same mistake is made for video. But one paragraph later the author uses the per five years value as if it's per day.
It's kind of hard to calm your advertisers when the boss has basically cut most of the marketing staff responsible for keeping contact with them. That's been the biggest issue so far, aside from the right-wing favoritism that the boss (Musk) has online (he's banned Crimethinc on a whim of Andy Ngo's hearsay). Basically, I wouldn't bother advertising on Twitter since the new boss/owner has no one to filter his nonsense out of the daily decision making. It's one thing to spew platitudes for free speech and it's another to actually lay out the rules of free speech on the platform (i.e. trying not to trigger regulations or reprisals of big govt agencies).
First I went to an average middle school an I remember many delinquents, but they had something like their own hierarchy independent from grades, so I guess nerds were no threat to their hierarchy, so they didn't care about nerds. Rather nobody cared about nerds to such extent that I didn't even know some animosity to nerds even exists. Standard grades were undefinable either, because ironically delinquents were below any standard, as a consequence nonstandard grades were undefinable either, so I guess separation based on grades was impossible as marginals were too numerous and visible. Then I went to an elite school for gifted kids (elite in terms of academic performance), but I didn't see anyone stereotypically rich there, and I'm not sure that a school for gifted kids is the same as a school for rich kids, I think they have very different goals. There was some kind of internment school for orphans nearby or something like that, so we got some flak from them, funnily I was once stopped by a girl and she tried to seduce me - a tomboy - I blushed, lol.
> I need to figure out how to feel comfortable working less in ways that don’t mentally feel like it’s impacting my work while also figuring out how to live my life outside of a screen.

If you want to work less you'll have to spend less time working. Considering your current workload, this might actually contribute to your productivity while you are working, but even if not, I highly doubt not working more will make it to your Big List of Regrets. Maybe your boss or colleagues will try to pressure you to working more, to make their lives easier or to feel better about their own lack of work-life balance; either learn to deal with / ignore it or find a place more compatible with your boundaries.

My best recommendation is to start looking for stuff you like doing. Cast a wide net - try social meetups, tabletop gaming groups, physical activities, music, anything you can imagine you might enjoy (and some things you can't imagine yourself doing). Hopefully you'll find something you enjoy so much, work-life balance will spring as a side effect of wanting to do that thing.
I wrote a short guide for how I did some of the pixel art in Smol Dungeon. Hopefully I kept it approachable.

Like others have said, pup seems to be abandoned. It's surprising that there isn't a well supported standard tool to work with html in the terminal, like jq for json.

Last time I looked at using pup or similar I wanted to extract two values for each element. For example, let's say I have the following html:

<div class="image">
<p>Sunset in Hawaii</p>
<img src="../randomstring123.jpg">
</div>
<div class="image">
...

Now I'd like to get both the image description, and the source, for each similar image in the page. Preferably so I can pipe it to curl and do

curl -o "$description.jpg" "$url"

I couldn't find an easy way of doing it, so I used Python instead.
If you liked that book, you should read the original sources from which Robert Greene derived his (too simplified) work viz. the works of Baltasar Gracian, Machiavelli, Francesco Guicciardini, Baldassare Castiglione etc.

These are far more nuanced and all-encompassing books on what i call "Worldly Wisdom" i.e. dealing with the World as is rather than how you would like it to be. These sort of books are some of my favourites that i constantly keep going back to.
I will rephrase as:

"Consider disabling push notifications on your device and on family and friends devices"

because browser vs native should make no difference, right? But when said that way, you see how absurd is the statement as a generate guide. This would be a full-time job to a) convince people not to get notifications and b) change their settings.

Now personally, I have disabled all native push notifications or at best have them sent to the "Notification Center". And after seeing my GF bothered by so many notifications, I showed her how to disable them. Everyone else is on their own.
My most negative experience has been with business school grads, meaning BComms with MBAs whose experience is in the finance or accounting departments. Seems the culture is about doing what you're told and CYA rather than critical thinking that come from a solid STEM background.

It reached the point where I now believe any BComm who wants a leadership role should first spend 3 months shadowing the cleaning staff. Once that person convinces the staff they're capable of not setting anything on fire, they can be allowed to mop the floors for the next 3 months. So on through the organization until 10-15 years later they're deemed qualified to think independently and understand what taking responsibility means.

Again, could just be select negative experience, but it's what I've noticed

Thats interesting.

My initial thoughts on this came the from the opposite side in terms of Taiwans security.

One of the major bounties for invading Taiwan would be in the acquisition and control of their chip manufacturing. Which - as you mention, the entire tech world is dependant on.

By moving some of that capability offshore, that incentive is gone.

Though I can see it from both sides.
I have no problem saying that if your ownership structure is such that your lawyers or accountants have advised you not to reveal it publicly, you should not be in the CA business.
It’s a nonsensical, clickbait article that uses trivial techniques to create ridiculous conclusions. Using AWS street prices to estimate TWTR’s on-prem costs, leaving aside their initial assumptions, is not only incompetent, it suggests they don’t have the most basic understanding of their domain.
Taiwan does far more than just TSMC. That is just one single company, albeit a very essential one. For instance, I don't like to buy hand tools (impact sockets, torque wrenches, etc) made in China, but Taiwanese tools are a higher quality and I have no hesitation purchasing them.
Wow sounds really interesting, do you have anything online (code, videos, writing etc..) I would love to learn a bit more about this.
> you win by forcing your opposition to mess up

You just described all of chess.
I would recommend starting with the basics: Sleep, Physical Activity/Exercise, Nutrition. I'm sure it can be hard as a father, but doing as much as you can to get these balanced will go a long way. You might also consider your social ties, who in your life (family and friends) do you have a strong connection with?

Then, try introspection. Start a journal and write in it consistently every morning or evening. After awhile you will notice patterns that come up. You may also want to review previous entries to find patterns that aren't immediately obvious. When you find a pattern, journal on it to investigate it further. You will be surprised what you discover about yourself through this kind process. Happy to chat about any of this if it's helpful. Email is in my profile.
I don't have a clear answer but definitely they should know you have their back, it certainly makes it easier if the child knows you'll support them in it (even when they perhaps did the wrong thing).

Outside of that, they need to be taught that buttholes exist and dealing with them is a fact of life. They shouldn't start things, but they definitely should end them. That was the metric for us while in school, especially if we got into "fisticuffs".

I think for you it's important to understand that school and teachers can't be trusted. I'm not saying teachers suck, but shitty teachers exist. My middle brother once had a teacher take a dislike to him because he corrected her in class. I once had a teacher that would make me stand out in the hall behind the coats on the coat rack. My mother showed up at the school for both, I was pulled from that class and put into another class with a teacher named Mrs Parker, whom I absolutely adored. I still remember the song we would sing at the beginning of class (about parking cars).

My point is that if your child is having an issue with a teacher, don't assume it's the child, my experience is that it very often wasn't. You build trust with your children by SHOWING them that you're there for them. Of course, that doesn't mean every poor interaction with a teacher is the teachers fault. We were dirt poor so I suspect that had something to do with it as well.

---

Anyways, none of that is really concrete, I don't know that concrete advice really applies to a question like that. Imo, kids learn what you teach them even if you don't know you're teaching them, and there is no such thing as a single glorifying lesson, it's a slow march over time, exactly as you would do to build trust with someone.
So there is lots of grouchiness in this thread. Maybe I'll try and give some comments on how these can be productive.

I'm in a remote working firm that provides IT services. We get together as a leadership team once a quarter to review what was and wasn't completed the previous quarter; review operations metrics, discuss changes in the business environment; and build the plan for the next quarter.

On a yearly basis, we do a bigger strategy session to really think about our marketing position, our offerings, our competitors and so on. The fancy strategy so to speak.

It's good for the group to be in person as the conversations can get difficult at times and it's easier to have them without having to mediate through Zoom. We also use it as a chance to do relationship building and to handle some tactical issues that need a hand.

We don't do go anywhere fancy - we usually rent a conference room offsite as our office doesn't have a lot of conference space.

Implementing these sessions has led to much better execution overall against our plans.
Where do you get "upset" from one word in quotation marks, followed by a question mark?

It was an invitation for clarification about what you meant.

How would you distinguish Covid from, say, murder, which also accelerates deaths by X years?

It's true that if the death rate is higher now, then the death rate may be lower in the future, but I'm not sure that's a useful way of thinking. If the death rate were 100% now, then the death rate would be 0% in the future. It all balances out, right? Except, that's not the way it works, because the dead never get their years or lives back.

We're all mortal and will eventually die sooner or later. But in most cases, later is much better than sooner.

I'd also mention that you probably wouldn't appreciate having 30,000X GBP stolen from you.
That’s not evident from their financial filings, which show profits for recent years and would have been profitable last year except for a one-time lawsuit settlement. They spent a lot in stock-based compensation but that’s a different category.

Any time the numbers are that far off, I’d question the conclusion being advanced by the person who isn’t legally liable for errors.

> Why are root CA authorities holding on to private keys and sending them around?

They aren't. In the story you link Trustico are a reseller. Once Trustico revealed that they had these keys which they shouldn't have, all the certificates were invalidated because they're worthless, the issuing CA - DigiCert - did exactly what we want them to do.

If the corner store near me sells cans of Coke which they have poisoned, that's not a problem with Coca-Cola, it's problem with that local store. The local cops should get involved, and yes as happened here, the company whose product reputation they harmed should be angry about that and cut ties to them, no more Coke branded fridge if the store owners somehow stay in business (and indeed in my hypothetical if they avoid jail).
Creating a basic nix derivation is easy and if you don't want to upstream it you can take all kinds of dirty and impure shortcuts.

You almost never want to invoke patchelf by itself but use some wrapper like autoPatchelfHook, FHS, nix-ld, nix-autobahn, etc.

Since 2018 a lot quite a lot happened. Give it another chance.
I wouldn't call them major problems. There are workarounds for running things without much effort if you want, e.g. FHS or steam run or distro box. For Python, you can create a virtual env and use it like any other machine.

And if you do put in the effort to make a package, you'll never have problems figuring out how to install it in the future, and can share that gain with others.

Making packages for nix is way easier than making debs or rpms in my experience.
There may be a bigger pressure to 'switch off'? dunno - I'm not a police officer. But there is a different work environment, and being 'at home'... you can replay issues in your head, but to what end? You can't go back and make any changes, compared to dev/code work, where you can be thinking about something and ... just go make a change (iow, 'keep working').

My neighbor was a firefighter for 20 years, and from his telling, that's what triggered his alcoholism. Drink a few to relax, later drinking to forget what you've had to witness - death/destruction/tragedy on a regular basis. I would not be at all surprised if alcoholism (or similar substance abuse) was not higher in professions like police than the regular population.
Which is a really bad example. It is clear why it is there, but in general it isn't a good solution.
