Hasn't been my experience. I get mentally exhausted after just 2-3 hours of pair programming, and tend to be borderline useless the rest of the day.

Having to communicate the entire time your thought process, not really being able to just take the wheel and investigate things quietly for a few minutes, and if you're letting them drive, getting them to go to the right spots in the code and modify the right things (especially if english is their second language) not easily being able to get up and walk away from the computer if you need to ruminate on something for a moment...yeah, just fries my brain.

Still need to do it at my work, since I'm managing junior developers right now that just don't see some of these things without pair programming, but it's exhausting.

Part of that is the coaching junior developers that need extra handholding, but I've found it almost as tiring even amongst peers of equal skill, if it happens for an extended period of time.

To have a larger amount of money in circulation because of population and wealth growth.
> like last night I had to help a new developer, I explicitly said that we could have a meeting the next day if he wanted, I told him not to feel pressured, but he insisted it was fine so we ended up working together late at night to get his environment set up

Its most likely he wanted to leave a positive impression. We're in a bad economy, people want to hold onto their jobs .. and the "easiest" way to appear like a good worker is doing long hours.
Its up to you and your team to cut that shit immediately otherwise you will all work all the time.
And the law of unintended consequences gives a huge unintended consequence here.... Rather than worker harder forever, which people really want to try to avoid, things other than money will be used as a store of value, since money is by definition leaking value. Housing, stocks, gold, crypto, etc.
There is a watchdog feature where (if I remember correctly) systemd listens on a socket and the service must write to that socket periodically or it gets automatically killed and restarted. Unfortunately, the feature is rather obscure and not well documented.

I found that the sd-notify[1] package on NPM works well. If your app happens to use NodeJS then it's pretty simple to set up. If not, looking at the way that package is implemented is probably a good way to figure out how the feature works so that you can do the same thing in your own application. Maybe the documentation for the feature has improved, however, the last time I checked (only a few months ago) everything I found was bad. I did stop looking once I found that the NPM package works well.

That seems weird to me. I don't have to learn package configuration language in other distributions. I thought that one could just install packages with a package manager.

That's actually fine. I want to put closed source software into a chroot anyway.

My wife and I switched from Lastpass to Bitwarden early this year. Glad we did, considering all the news! Password sharing is different, since you have to make a group/organization and share the password in there. But once that was figured out, it's been a better experience with less bugs. It doesn't look slick, but it's more functional.
Tell HN: I think I found a disabled Twitter service
I’ve been wondering, “what are all those disabled services?” Today, I think I found one.

I decided to start a YouTube channel where I code on camera. I started recording episodes several weeks ago. On Twitter I scheduled a tweet to go out on Sunday, November 27th. It never got posted.

It’s a small feature, for sure, but I hoped to use it to post announcements on a schedule. I’m sure there are lots of features like this that are gone, I just hadn’t seen any yet.

It also looks like much of the advertising interface is broken. That’s where Twitter says you have to go to view your scheduled tweets.
I think that's a little one sided.

My job is project management. I hate remote working. And that's because by the time something is big enough that someone feels like they need to notify me, my first options of mitigation have already passed. If I hear two engineers at the desk next to me discuss something, or if someone gives me a headsup because we happened to meet at the coffee machine, my job becomes so much easier. I much, much, much prefer a hybrid style where people spend 1-2 days a week doing focus work at home, and spend the other 2-4 days in the office doing collaborative or less focussed work.

It has nothing to do with me needing an 'in person audience because I'm narcissistic'.
I'm distinguishing between displaying contents of some payload vs actively tokenising and interpreting such content.

If you set up an extension that blocks notifications with the word "vanilla", what the extension would be doing to act on that notification is what I regard as "reading your messages".

I noticed that around the death of flash and the rise of games using new native technologies on the web, a lot of “web games” were technically or graphically impressive compared to anything done with flash, but felt very sterile and and soulless. Flash games had fun narratives, stories, etc. I wonder if it just attracted a different crowd.
Depends on whether you're at the stage where you think you can gain statistically significant insights from anything or if it's just a distraction from talking to customers.

Data is very much an organisation problem first, a tech problem second, you'll have to prove to yourself and others around you that you can gain actually statistically significant insights before you invest hours and dollars. So it's in everyone's interest to get "good" working fast and cheap before you worry about perfect.

I'd start with one of the following:

1) Build: A quick audit table for events

2) Buy: Start with segment's free plan, if you're early stage it'll give you enough time to delay more expensive decisions. If you find you're approaching the limits fast, and you're getting actual value from the data, it means you got to make your mind up quicker. Send your segment data to analytics software of your choice. If you want to join it against your application data then you can warehouse it to your DB (but best to do your querying from a replica).

If you find you're getting value from simple joined SQL queries, then you can think about visualisation software, plenty out there to buy (domo, looker, powerbase etc), but you can also self host something like metabase. That way you can share the value with others and prove the worth of the data by having shared queries and dashboards.

If all of that works and provides value, revisit the question again in a few months and see if your answers could be different.

Whichever you use, if you're identifying identities in your event tracking, then it's best to use UUIDs to make it easier for you to do joins across disparate data stores in future.

Personally I'd lean towards Option 2, which is "buy"(but not Day 1, given that there are free plans), which leaves open a pathway to Build if needed.

> OS is actually called Nix

Not true. The distro is called `NixOS`. The package manager and it's language is called `Nix`.

I do agree that the learning curve is extremely steep.
Totally agree, this is why I don't trust any of them. Massive targets with extremely strong incentives to stay quiet about security issues.
It’s a technical preview, not a finished product. If they’d tested it on every combination of Kerouac novels before release, it would probably never see the light of day :) I’m still incredibly impressed.
As you can tell from the last few decades, winning wars is a secondary concern.
Because governments still have to pay back their debts at sometime. While they can default that doesn't work out very well - local residents get mad about losing their investments, and foreign rich people learn their lesson and won't borrow more money for a while (at least not on good terms).

There are significant differences, but in the end governments also pay back debt.
> The regulators didn't catch Madoff.

In some sense, sure they did. He went to jail. And his investors got back 80 cents on the dollar.
What does inflation accomplish that a wealth tax of 2% doesn't accomplish. Such a wealth tax would be more honest and transparent (ie. politicians would have to justify it, they couldn't just outsource the PR hit to an unelected central bank), and could additionally be more nuanced (eg. marginal tax rates). Inflation mostly hits the relatively poor, because they are the only ones holding a large proportion of their wealth as cash.

>wages started to rise

I think everything you said made sense. But just to balance it out, there was a recent Planet Money podcast that explained that wage inflation is not the primary cause and that 55% of inflation is attributed to increased profit margin. The rebuttal from another Econ is this is just temporary anomaly and we’ll see wages rise to erode those profits.
None of those are calculated to come anywhere close to the excess deaths caused by COVID.

Overall, suicide rates in most countries either dipped or remained the same. [0][1]

Whether or not police brutality saw an increase, its effect on mortality was negligible at population levels.

As for the delay or avoidance of medical care, which did have statistical impact, that has been as severe in places that didn't have severe lockdowns as for places that did. Turns out if the medical system and hospitals become overwhelmed with a novel disease that has an effect on their ability to perform regular treatment too.

Very, very few places did extended strict lockdowns.

Conclude from that what you will.
The point is, I'm already doing all those things. I exercise. I eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. I have a therapist. I don't meditate, but I do take long walks and hikes in nature, which to me is kindof meditating?

Fat people, yeah "have you tried exercising? have you tried counting calories?" FFS of course they have. They weren't born yesterday. They're aware of their weight 100% of every waking moment of the day.

Don't give people advice unless they ask for it. Plain and simple.

edit:
Regarding the first paragraph, what I mean to say is: When I discuss depression or anxiety with someone, and they come back with a bunch of "helpful" suggestions, in my mind the conversation sortof flips to where I have to justify myself. I have to explain or prove to them all the things I'm doing. It also sets up a conversation in my mind: "Am I doing enough? Should I be exercising more? Maybe I should take up yoga as well?" I don't want to justify my emotional state to someone. Especially to someone who, no offense to you, (but kindof?) does not know what the fuck they are talking about.
>The GP does have a point though.

No. What happened at the company FTX has nothing to do with blockchain and smart contracts. It could have been an online exchange for euros or dollars or Pokemon cards. Violating the ToS and stealing users' funds is a crime.
The 15%/20% figure is wild. I've owned a Kyocera Mita laser printer from 2004ish to 2022 - and I had to change the toner cartridige like 2-3 times. Either this weird filling was not the case for my model, or I could have saved another 60€ in 18 years :D

And while this sounds like a useless purchase, I printed many thousand pages, but apparently for laser printer that's still not a lot.

You can have ten trillion per capita in circulation and still not have population and wealth growth. The absolute number has no meaning, or hyperinflation would be desirable.

This is not the reason.
It is a good thing for the rich/capitalist classes and for those in the immediate periphery because they can then buy more in real terms. It is a bad thing for the poorer working class because their labour gets devalued in real terms.
> Did you try flys postgres service?

Yes. I wrote: "I was recently just one of those affected by a random issue!"

I don't notice any measurable latency. Heroku exposes their postgres instances directly on the public web (secured with a strong user/pass combo of course), so there's no difference, networking-wise. There's no additional reverse proxy or some tunnel to route through.

Heroku was the cheapest for the very small instance I needed.

The connections are made on-demand and are insanely fast.

DoorDash is an entirely separate party. Technically, without any one of those parties, DoorDash doesn't work but network effects can force one party to use a substandard service. Hell, even two of the parties.

Not that surprising. Depending on the country, all banks could be like that.
The first example is trivial, and serves as an illustrative but useless example (which I don't need).

NixOS is more like a distro bundled with Ansible, so you can describe your entire system as code.

Is this supposed to be a joke? If not, that's not how you measure performance. Try doing it a million times a second and use actual performance metrics instead of your eyes (which can't tell the difference between 1 nanosecond and 100 milliseconds, so completely useless for determining whether something is slow/fast). Even then just getting the element is clearly not the DOM operations that people are referring to when they say that the DOM is slow.

I took a job where I was told engineers could work periodically on improving open source projects relevant to our work. In the two years I was there, I was given exactly zero time to work on such things.

I think these kinds of arrangements are dangled as a carrot in front of engineers, while the person doing the dangling knows full well that they are selling a lie. Now, such an offer is a red flag in my eyes, unless I hear a credible story firsthand from every engineer that interviews me.

Next time I am offered such a carrot, I basically will need to see it put into writing before I believe a word of it. I suspect you have learned a similar lesson from your own experience.
“Cryptonomicon” by Neal Stephenson is on their list. While it's a great book with an intricate plot. It's not my favorite of Stephenson.

The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson is a great book that is set in the 22nd century that combines elements such as nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence to create a compelling story that is full of interesting characters. The story follows the small girl Nell as she is adopted by a mysterious group of nobles and is given a special book called "The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer". The Primer is a magical book that helps Nell to learn, grow, and ultimately find her way in a chaotic world.

That book is the real protagonist, and is really fascinating. Could such a thing soon become a reality, now that GPT-4 is round the corner?
> What problems does it cause to make the locked down experience the default with the option for me to disable that and take control of the device after I buy it?

Apple can legitimately be worried that possible subpar/bad experiences with an Apple device (caused by user choices) will damage their brand and what the name is supposed to stand for in consumer space. It is fair to assume that normal people will not pay attention to details such as 'I disabled the walled garden'. So I'm pretty sure their position is 'Sure, your device but we're certainly not going to help you damage our brand's reputation'. They may have a point since your device at most costs $2k. Their reputation cost Apple billions of dollars to acquire.
My experience with NixOS: Package installation is usually just from the official channel, system options can usually be done with `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` and home-manager.

Major problems: installing niche proprietary software that you may have to package yourself, and fighting Nix for languages with package manager, e.g. Python, which frequently uses packages not in nixpkgs.
Well we are certifying authenticity but we do it with the trust of the CAs. But if we can't trust the CAs maybe there are other authorities we can trust more, or that we at least can share the trust between several parties.

But I agree with you on the sentiment that stopping snooping technically is the easy part and this is already possible today with Public Key Pinning, DNSSEC, client certificates and so on.

But that's why I think the role of the CA should change so that the signatures actually gives some form of tangible trust that people can relate to.
> As money wears out, gets lost, destroyed stolen, the total supply drops, pushing atomic value higher.

Indeed, this situation as described would be deflationary. OP asked about targeting zero rather than negative.
It's correct. It's the reason i stop working for enterprise if possible. Because i know the truth. Noone cares about automation, and there's no reason you're the guy who do automation for free (with the risk of delaying your JIRA stories).

There's a reason to stay out of a mess.

There's no empathy for intentionally not releasing the burnout for teammates besides the selfish reason to keep your seat forever. It's the selfishness at best. And no, for my cultural reason, i have no reason to stay there to feed lazy assholes.

If you want to run nixos (i.e. the linux distro) then the configuration file is written in the nix language. Given that you’ll have to configure your installation, you’ll have to learn the nix language

If you just want to use nix for packages, you can run any distro and install nix the package manager into it. This is a good way to dip your toes in the water. And in that case you can just use the cli commands for installing packages.

>> It's not technically a monopoly

What is the technicality? It's certainly a monopoly in layman's terms.

Is the technicality monopsony? IE, the fact that Spotify have more power over artists than consumers? Is it the fact that there are other streaming services in existence, and spotify has <100%.

I feel like people can specify "textbook-monopoly," if they need to use a hyper-strict definition of one kind or another. For regular conversation, the common definition of the term works fine.

An interesting variant of chess; Alan Turing is said to have introduced another, outdoors version of chess where you'd move, then run around the house, and if the opponent hasn't moved by the time you're back, you'd get to move a second time.

You want some inflation to allow for economic growth - it discounts prior debt, and encourages investment.

But it must be tied to growth.
