Getting ADHD medication in the US is the single most ADHD-unfriendly activity in existence. Frequent appointments with multiple entities, all-too-frequent interruptions to these appointments (with and without mitigations), incredibly strict windows of time for refills, the #*&$ insurance system...

And then there's the inevitable "you run out of meds and have to navigate all these hurdles without being medicated" gauntlet that makes you cry in frustration.

If I didn't have a non-ADHD spouse, I doubt I'd be able to maintain it.
It was an experimental project, so we were allowed to go a bit wild with the whole thing and see what we came up with. Htmx really changed the whole dev experience from the ground up.

First, there was no duplication of validation, or business logic on forms between the front end and back end. Everything was written in one language (with the exception of HTML + CSS).

Second, the ability to send updates out-of-band was amazing. A user selecting a change on a form and updating a preview felt instant when compared to the same thing in React.

Third, no crazy hooks or weird keeping state between the view and the data we sent. We just used plain html and inputs to store the state along with CSRF tokens.

My only issue was that the browser didn’t validate the form before submission. So email inputs weren’t validated. I don’t know if that’s an htmx bug or expected behavior, but it was annoying.
While this will stop the bullying there is a serious risk of this affecting your ability to get into a competitive high school or college. My cousin defended a friend from a bully in middle school and the bully's parents called the cops on him. The charges were eventually dropped but the record stayed around and almost kept him out of the highschool he wanted to go to.
This is disgusting behavior from SpaceX. It must be even worse for the majority of older people who are more likely to have well established families and "only" want to spend 40 hours of their lives a week working.

The fact they had an expert working 10 hours a day 7 days a week apparently was not enough. They have to be in their twenties to get the real "techbro" badge.

I have a strong belief that technical skills aren't as important as the ability to be a suck-up in most mega-corps. You can easily buy a suck-up offering graduates a six-figure salary. It's like VPs are building their own personal armies not to get ousted by the other feudal lords.
> "yet I saw my work roles gradually transferred to younger engineers who fit the company’s “frat bro” mold."

Oh, hell no. There is no room, whatsoever, for "frat bros" at a freaking rocket company.

Edit: I am OK with young engineers in roles with oversight, but not with a "frat bro" culture. Also, I'm 21 years old, with no management experience, and even I know that's a horrible idea.
> Now you get mostly reactionary fluff "Can you believe the horrible thing I read!!!"

Could be worth checking the mirror there.

So you suggest that everyone can express any opinion, no matter how inflammatory, without any repercussions? To be honest I find an absolute stance on that ridiculous. The questions I would ask are:

- what kinds of speech are unacceptable?

- what reaction does society take when someone crosses the line?

To continue on the Kanye example: essentially he lost his job, and I think that's perfectly acceptable. His employers/contractors found his speech disgusting, and fired him/ended his contracts. You can compare that to what happened with your grandma, and the only reason I think it's wrong is because I think pro-capitalism should be an "allowed" opinion, even though I disagree with it. To me the difference is that her opinion was a matter of political opinion, Kanye's directly targets jews, a marginalized group (note: in your grandma's case, "anti-worker" is no targeting a marginalized group since in a communist country the workers are definitionally not marginalized).

Every country I'm aware of (even the United States, for instance bomb threats are illegal) agrees that some speech should be prohibited. Where they disagree is what is prohibited and what the punishment is. In Germany, you can be jailed for denying the holocaust. Is that just? I don't really know but most of the Germans I've met agree with the law in this case.
Even if it is, lawyers are expensive. $400-$800/hour expensive. The labor law isn’t strong enough and leaves out too many grey areas and even if it’s an open and shut case, the fines/ settlements are often too low to pursue. Unless you are rich and spiteful like…

I’ve also enjoyed Adam tooze’s newsletter after seeing it crop up on hacker news lately:

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.

To help you get started, we've compiled a list of 30 of the best open source projects across a range of languages, including Python, JavaScript, and Java.

What is an Open Source Project?

An open source project is a project whose source code is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and contribute. Open source projects are typically developed in a collaborative manner, with volunteers contributing to the code.

There are many different types of open source projects, ranging from simple applications to operating systems. Some of the most popular open source projects include the Linux operating system, the Apache web server, and the MySQL database.

Open source projects are often developed by groups of individuals, rather than by companies. This allows anyone to contribute to the project, and it also makes the project more resilient to changes in the marketplace.

Opinion: Cheaper groceries? It’ll cost you privacy
Interesting - at first this didn't seem to be detailed in the popular (Wikipedia etc) or ARM web pages I could find but it seems it was about terminlogy, "translation granule" was the right one and then you can find mentions like "The granule sizes that a processor supports are IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED".
If you refer to parent comment, I did read the article and saw what looked to me like ageism in practice. The quote you mention showed a willingness to sign up, yet it didn't ensure survival. What did I miss?
Arable land includes meadows, pastures, etc. Animals can (and do) eat from those lands, but cropland is more specific. Your weird tangent has no relevance.
Copy and paste zoo photo on top of the mountain and claim you saw that in the wild? Sure, that would be a lie. But individual animals are also not unheard of to do unusual things and just how well are Snow Leopards researched to say they never ever come near glaciers? Maybe they do once in a while for their own reasons.
Thank you for sharing. This is terrible. I'm already bracing myself for the apologism by people who didn't read the article.

Edit -- case in point:

> SpaceX is one one those sink or swim places filled with type A personalities. You need to be ‘useful’

> He should of been less concerned with his position and more of a team player.

> This may be unpopular to some here, but it is dangerous to let one man run a substantial part of the company's operations.
It is materially different because it does not track individual users.

It's comparable to dropping the same cookie to every visitor on a particular day; a pretty low level of privacy invasion.

Also, this allows to not use such things as visitor's IP address to collect meaningful statistics, which is a privacy win for the user, and an accuracy win for the site operator.

Education and culture only goes so far. The school system has been trying to teach children healthy diet and exercise habits for several decades, but it just doesn't seem to stick. Not that we should stop, but it seems like obesity has more to with a lack of willpower to resist overeating rather than ignorance of how to eat healthily and that exercise should be regular.
That's about modifying files though, not deleting files. If you delete an executable that's currently running and create a new one with the same path, that's fine. If you try to modify an executable that's currently running, the kernel won't let you.

You should probably educate yourself on the topic before jumping feet first into making such absurd accusations.
Parents seem to like it, though, so I don't see what the problem is.

And yes, people other than history faculty do know how to teach history better than history faculty. I don't trust academics.
> This is great for privacy as we don't need to use cookies, IP addresses, fingerprinting or unique identifiers. In our tests, this method proved durable enough to be the most reliable method of counting unique visitors without using cookies.

The differences with a cookie are that the header is named Last-modified instead of Set-Cookie and Cookie, and the value must be a datetime in the RFC2616 format.

How is it good for privacy? I think it’s worse because it’s invisible for the user. I would bet tracking visitors using such an hack isn’t compatible with GDPR, that requires an informed consent for tracking. And good luck explaining your hack to the average visitor.
This stinks but there's not much one person can do about it. Workers need solidarity to protect themselves from this kind of abuse.
There should be some reasonable limits on this type of dumping. It might be just allowed for first 3 or so months in new area. Or once a quarter limited duration campaigns.

But otherwise it should result in banning operations for a while.
> Anybody with a life isn't desired by these places

I'd go further, the author basically points out that he doesn't really have a life beyond work, or is dedicated to the level they're expecting.

The problem here is that Musk companies are churning employees who don't fit the "frat bro" culture that Musk likes. Telsa is like this, SpaceX is going that way, Twitter is clearly doing the same. What's really sad is that the culture they're creating is about that self-identifying alpha male hierarchy – and Musk likes it because he's at the top.

Diverse hiring in terms of age, gender, orientation, etc, is the best way to combat this.

>is to gain...

Ah, don't worry about it, his comment put me off a little and I didn't want subsequent comments to snowball.

My browser is messy because it is not my primary organizational structure. It's a dumping ground of sorts that I try to organize by date (tab # in window) and window. The info in most open sequences of tabs is usually saved somewhere, so I don't need to go back to that tab but it's very convenient for quick "reminders" of how I reached a certain position / conclusion / found some info.

> When you've gone back to a tab that has been unloaded, how often has the site been changed when it reloads the data and or just not worked anymore? If you get that a lot, have you considered saving as a single file html or something?

From my OLD tabs (2017 and before) almost everything has changed. I do preserve the cache folders, so occasionally the old version of the website will load (when I enable networking but don't connect to a network). I don't see why it wouldn't work, URL deprecation isn't a very big deal for that time frame. I did use an addon to save some pages as HTML files. I don't remember its name, it was a XUL (pre-webextension) addon.

> In your daily life, do you collect and find it difficult to throw away items that you think you'll need at some future point?

> How would you describe your organization style of non-digital items/goods?

I'm not a hoarder :)

I throw out stuff I don't want / use

As far as information goes, I maintain backups although I usually never go back to them except for very broad file name / tree searches / greps. Storage is cheap and plentiful, what's a few gigs?

> Since you have so many tabs open, how do you search for the things you care about in opened but unloaded tabs?

I use a tabs sidebar extension, and a tab search extension if one isn't natively provided by the sidebar extension. It's also possible to search open tabs from the FF omnibar. Also, the windows / tabs form an ad-hoc organizational structure that's very helpful. Anyway, like I said before, the browser is just my dumping ground. I could lose all but the last 500 tabs and still sleep like a baby.
I completely agree about the problem, and some of this thread has the answer: fight back. Being adults, we naturally focus on what the adults can do. Of course if someone in authority sees bad behavior, they should stop it.

The problem is all the bad behavior they don't see. The bullies just learn to do it when no adults are watching. Teaching the kid how to fight back is a great solution and several answers have said that.

But suppose he or she just can't (sick, handicapped, uncoordinated, tiny, etc.)?

This is where the kids who are not being bullied can step in. Teach your big strong kid it's not cool to just watch it happen; confront the bully yourself. Protect the kids who can't protect themselves.
Just be sure to hire a young lawyer who can see the case through.
>>“If you’re so smart, how come you’re not happy? How come you’ve not figured that out?”

There is a default assumption here that being smart should eventually end in some sort of success. Whereas being smart has only mild correlation with being successful. Lots of other things(health, luck etc) matter in success, and eventually people kind of look at optimising one single variable and hope it leads to significant gains in all aspects of life. Which is impossible.

Even if we keep things like luck outside the discussion. Things like good health and fitness play a huge role in happiness, this follows from definition. Unhealthy people can't be happy and lack of fitness effects people's perception of their own-self. Most smart people tend to look at exercise oriented habits as something dumb people do.

Other thing is taking risks. Taking risks, demands being either risk averse or at least being slightly dumb enough to take risks, which smart people wouldn't.
A union.
I think this is one that goes back to engagement experience. A lot of engineers have not read enough technical writing, and they've only read from their own bubble. As a start, have them go out and fully read technical writing from products they already use, and try to emulate that.
Since all programs have to be compiled to boolean gates and these gates have to be encrypted, there is a difference of a few orders of magnitude between running programs natively on a CPU (which can of course use highly optimized arithmetical instructions) and running programs over MPC.

In the end, it all depends on the complexity of the program: For simple programs like the Wordle guess/solution comparison (about 40 lines of code, compiled to < 2k gates) the communication overhead is more significant than the computational overhead. The Garbled Circuits protocol used by Tandem needs 7 rounds of communication, so with a round-trip time of 50ms the whole execution takes 350ms.

For more complicated programs, the computational overhead becomes a bit more significant. For programs of > 100k gates, the time to execute a program can range from a few seconds to about a minute. For example, an AES 256 computation requires ~ 9k AND gates and 40k XOR gates.

Right now I would not use it for programs with more than a couple 100k gates, but the engine has not yet been optimized very much, at the moment the focus is on providing a good UX and an easy way for people to experiment with MPC. I'm pretty sure that with a bit of optimization efforts it will be possible to speed it up significantly.
Stable Diffusion 2 used to edit 3D in Blender
That would let you describe the current location of each container, right?

Presumably we also want to describe a history of locations and events for each container so we're talking a few additional orders of magnitude more storage and complexity.

But still, your point 100% stands. We're not talking about something that traditional technologies can't handle.

Although to be fair it seems like the blockchain fans are trumpeting the "publicly available ledger" aspect and not the "suitability for Big Data" angle... I'm no blockchain booster, but I don't think anybody is claiming that it outperforms a trad DB.

I would imaging "committing parenthood" would be a similar problem/result.
> ...the world cannot extract enough resources to feed ourselves mostly beef - or meat for that matter. Nor could we do it at cost.

I wouldn't be so sure: markets find ways to satisfy demand. People made similar statements about photovoltaic panels, but here we are, with solar competitive with coal. I'd prefer to let markets organically allocate scarce inputs to their highest and best use over asserting that this technology or that behavior is unsustainable. If you're right, markets and prices will take care of modulating the demand and there's no need to tell individuals that their habits and preferences are a "privilege".
I wouldn't ask for Uber to collapse since they have different verticals now. One of my friends currently works at Uber and has disclosed to me that their business lines are doing good even in this sluggish market.

The problem with these food delivery apps is, there are way too many parties to be paid a reasonable amount of money here and customers aren't willing to go beyond a specific limit of premium. Turning a profit is hard - even after punishing restaurants with 30%+ commissions, pushing "service fee" and other regulatory fee upon customers, and even after "stealing" drivers' tips.

This company shouldn't have grown so much really. It all feels so hyperbolical with them raising so much investor money and hiring thousands of tech workers. AFAIK they've always relied upon investor money to pump and inflate numbers and acquire new customers with massive marketing spend.
I'm going to have to look into that
Global shipping is one of those industries that are yet to discover APIs. They are currently in awe of FTP and XML for EDI though the way they use it is to stuff as much as possible into the general catch-all tags, because they cannot agree on the schemas.

It's the land of mainframes, T-SQL, Excel, and CSV. I have worked with those global players and the way they run IT project is appalling. Blockchain is way too futuristic for them and they kinda miss faxes. People who genuinely want to change things are frustrated, because no matter how modern their own solution are they have to build integrations that work with something put together thirty years ago, undocumented, and without any guidance or help from the incumbent who then proceeds to not sign off on the project and forces the partner to use the old document flows. Worry not, there will be between 5 and 7 developers in each meeting and the integrator's developers are not allowed to talk directly with the incumbent's developers. I promised myself to never work with those guys again.
I think it is fine to encourage peope to be more clear about the provence of their work. Calling someone "grossly dishonest" for not doing it in the way you want is not productive and, frankly, seems like bullying.

Well, once you really start learning about lots of healthy natural foods, you'll start to recognize these more. Waxgourd is a large melon that tastes great in smoothies with a bit of pepper and honey. Or you can turn it into a tasty soup, as done in chinese cuisine. Nopales are a bit more present in mexican cooking, you know those big spiky plate like plants. Many of the other plants on there sometimes grow freely in your backyard: like dandelion, dock, purslane. Some people use derogatory references such as "weeds" to refer to them but it's highly innaccurate. these plants are some of the most nutritious things you can eat, you just need to know how to cook them and how to adjust your taste buds to all the great foods humans used to eat on a regular basis. I've been on a journey to understand all the natural foods found in nature, and it's quite a learning process as we've been so conditioned (in the wrong direction) by industry on what food is.

There's over 80,000 edible plant species in the world. I only know a few of them. But, I hope to get to know more of them over time.
This is a good way to build a questionable reputation.

I’d rather be known as a person who sticks to my principles and strives to do good work than someone who molds myself into whatever shape is necessary to succeed.

This isn’t to say that one should be blind to political realities, but to actively participate is to perpetuate the problems at best, and to destroy one’s reputation at worst.

These environments need people who challenge the bullshit. And in tech, we’re pretty privileged in that it’s generally going to be possible to find something else if necessary.
How much time does it cost to create one building? Would be cool to connect minecraft to a real running sc2k, adding/removing buildings on-the-fly.
Given Musk's comparable age and erratic behavior, maybe someone ought to take work from him.
SpaceX is one one those sink or swim places filled with type A personalities. Teamwork is key, but also challenging if you’re not a people person. If you don’t know something, you need to dive in and learn it. If you know lots of things, you need to help others get up to speed. It doesn’t matter where in the organization they are.

I have no doubt this guy could have been a force amplifier if he hadn’t been so territorial. And they are right, principle engineer is not a management track but a very high and respected title.

He should of been less concerned with his position and more of a team player. Mentoring younger engineers so they can raise to higher levels - that’s part of what a principal engineers does.

This speaks volumes -
“And as a result, I was having to mentor a roster of engineers who didn’t report to me and didn’t know what they didn’t know.”

Maybe the guy came from a more traditional engineering company or something. It’s funny his title was pretty much already at the top. A principal that wants to do all the work themselves and not help others who are at the very bottom...
