I have asked for feedback a few times—particularly on ones where I felt I got close to an offer. Unfortunately no one has even responded to these requests.

The remote thing definitely limits my options, but I have tried to be realistic about it. For the first few years of this struggle, I was primarily looking for local work in a big city with lots of options. Since I moved a couple years ago, I have been focused on remote-only or at least remote-first companies, as I am currently experiencing the sorta second-class-citizenship of being a remote employee at a company that still claims it isn’t remote, despite not having any offices since the pandemic.

I’m definitely open to local work and actually prefer working in an office, if it’s a decent place, so I do keep an eye out for it, but there aren’t many opportunities for my kind of work where I live.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions!
Right on, I think that's a very reasonable approach.
Or even just drive down to Lake Tahoe and find a winter construction site and try it there.

This is a general problem with all these California-based companies and inventors (especially SV inventors cranking out crowd-funded bike stuff.) They seem blissfully unaware of things like cold weather, water, dirt/mud, and road salt...or combinations of them. I laugh at all those stupid fucking delivery bots because they'll fall apart anywhere there's snow, and get completely stuck on the slightest bit of ice.

For many years, driving a Model S in heavy rain would cause water to get into the drive unit via either seals or vents that weren't sufficiently designed to keep water out. It "totals" the drive unit, causing corrosion of the motor control boards. And Tesla denies warranty claims on such repairs, because of course they do - just like they did on the windows that randomly shattered in parked cars.

Raise your hand if you've owned a car that had problems with water ingress issues affecting its transmission. Or windows randomly shattering.

What's that? Nobody? Exactly.

This is why I was shocked by Unix producing core dumps (I’d previously gotten my experience on ITS and Lispms where everything ran in the debugger).

It is doable.

Telegram has a procedure you can run to verify the binaries, also from the Apple App Store.

Yes, it requires a jailbroken phone, but it is doable.
It is greed for sure. But it is also the lack of legit opportunities to invest, unless one is an accredited investor. I found a handful of places I wanted to invest, but I can't, because I am not an accredited investor. I am left with stock market and crypto.

It is super funny (sad?) that I can go to Vegas and blow up my life savings in a matter of hours. There are no rules to save me from that. But there are rules conveniently banning non-accredited investors from so many legit investment opportunities. What % of the population are accredited investors? I bet it is not even 10%

At this point, there doesn't seem to be any difference between Vegas and Crypto...

These are great. I used jadx to pull apart a conference attendee app I was supposed to install to see what it hoovered up. There is a level of reverse engineering that people can just get comfortable with doing without ahcieving the virtuosity of the stuff people publish papers and get talks about.

Simple things like, what SDKs does this thing use (adware), what external APIs does it call (trackers), what interfaces does it use (mic, gps, etc), what data does it hoover up (contacts, sms messages, etc), what parties does it send them to, how much effort do the authors go to obfuscate or hide what they are doing (packers, code obfuscators), does it use a static encryption key or derive one from predictable components, does it have hidden features from triggers and arguments - are all achievable for someone with a bit of interest and an afternoon. The more niche the app, the less sophisticated the protections on it, I find.
Honestly, chat is the equivalent of a person to person regular mouth to ear communication. Some stuff needs to be off record. Which effectively means, nothing in chat and not on a formal document is just coordination. Like it was for centuries.

Clang will be fine. It's based on LLVM, which will be actively maintained for as long as Rust exists, and Apple relies on Clang's functionality for pretty much all of their modern tooling. There's enough stakeholders to keep things moving smoothly, at least as far as I can tell.

It's possible to be mentally balanced and even happy without being in the top of the income/status ladder. There are inmates who are in prison for murder and still feel better about themselves than you ... so what you're going through is more a process created in your mind than your objective circumstances.
So a major pain point for you as I see it is that you have extremely low self esteem. Despite failing school you might have a lot to offer as a son, as a friend and as a human. You are not the economic value you produce.

I would probably start there - the mental balance and self esteem, before worrying that much about career/status improvements. When the mental balance and self esteem improves good things can happen - finding a partner , starting a family etc, or if that's not your thing that's fine as well.

Some more things besides conventional therapy come to my mind:

1. Exercise. All research confirm it just works. Pick up the thing you hate least.

2. Stoicism (OK I'm a sucker for stoicism so had to throw it in there). But seriously, all people should be encouraged to find whatever spiritual framework works for them. For me its stoicism - what is it for you? Explore things. Find out if there's anything that works for you, there has to be.

3. Consider cooling things off for a while with friends that make you feel bad about yourself. That's probably controversial, a lot of people will tell you that you are the problem not them (which might be true), but I think as you are going through a build up / healing process anything that drags you down needs to be reduced.

P.S - you failed at some pretty difficult things most people wouldn't even try their hand in.

Hope this helps!

Unless we’re talking about embedded systems (and most of the time, not even then I’d guess for portable gaming devices for example), what is the actual drawback of these “huge” binaries?

Wasn’t the reason to separate binaries and libraries in the first place to conserve disk space? They are then clearly versioned to signal that you can’t expect just any version of the library to work with the program you wrote.

The trade-off in using more disk to contain “an application” to “a binary” seems fine to me, if you’re not sacrificing anything else.

The only drawback I can think of is that it makes very minor patches, like security fixes, to the library impossible, which is a nice thing to have I guess, but on the other hand you’re now giving the library maintainer the capability to crash your application, and since that would presumably go through some kind of review and rebuild of the application in the first place to avoid crashes against the new library code, why does it matter if the lib is a part of the actual binary or not?

Is it really down to nothing but bandwidth and disk usage, or am I missing something here? Because if it is, and “blob binaries” becomes the norm, I’m sure you could still figure out partial patches somehow to conserve bandwidth and IO, while still keeping the binary essentially a built monolith.

Maybe one argument is that abandoned programs can still be “patched” in a way because a library it depends on fixes an issue that library was responsible for, but doesn’t that seem pretty risky to begin with to run software that is no longer being patched?

Indeed what constitutes “software” just seems to be multiple pieces in one case, and one piece in the other, no?

The biggest case against “vendoring”, which in my mind is similar to “huge” binaries, that I can think of at least is that it gives developers a false sense of security to not have to think about keeping libraries up to date: but aren’t they already equally able to be sloppy about this when the libs are separate?

The problem is that these brokerages do work like banks work but pretend that they are holding all of the reserves on the books.

Doable on the device itself (Although I wouldn't bother without at least an external keyboard).

Full KDE desktop based on Arch (/ is read-only by default, but this can be disabled)

it Really shines when plugged into external monitors/dock. In particular, I have a couple USB-C displays that provide usb-hubs - I plug a single usb-c cable into the top of the thing and have a great little mini-workstation machine.

Does 4k displays just fine and is very responsive for the size. It's basically replaced the linux laptop I would drag along on trips. If I need a workstation it suffices, and I can plug it into hotel room tvs really easily to watch whatever I want.

Basically - hard to argue with the value proposition given it only costs $500 and I get a great little portable workstation. That fact that it does an excellent job with games is just cream on top.
I mention effort because Microsoft hasn't even tried to put a real attempt into competing with Google on maps before claiming a monopoly. Tried nothing and completely out of ideas must be an impenetrable monopoly. To compare it with the FTC's definition, Microsoft and Facebook are not excluded from competing with Google Maps. You can make a maps app and put it on Android today.
I wouldn't get too excited. This only seems to be the addition of S/MIME client capability for Google corporate email customers. So the Google corporate customer will still have to procure, renew and pay for a S/MIME certificate for each and every employee. That isn't something that companies have shown much interest in up to this point.

This does not affect non-corporate Gmail users...
"In reporting correlations between unionization and managerial pay, we are not necessarily able to establish whether unions cause differences"

Yes, but that's a different correlation vs causation issue. The point is, the phenomenon of unions equalizing pay, on the company (micro) level (which has been reproduced in other countries and time periods), can be considered to be a causal explanation for the phenomenon of rising inequality when unions decline, in the society at large.

Folks complaining about how this doesn’t solve the “I don’t trust Google” threat model are missing the point - this is a compliance feature so you can work with PII and still comply with regulations like PCI that require you to encrypt everything in transit and at rest.

Previously you’d need an expensive third party product like Virtru, so it’s great news for users that this is just a bundled feature now.

“Security theater” is probably fair, as is much of the compliance regime. However this probably does make it harder for a back-office admin to accidentally/absentmindedly save files with PII to their machine in breach of policy, as the UI makes it clear the files/content are Top Secret.
100%. A similarly snarky corollary could be that Windows is not free, and Microsoft still shafts you regardless. From what I gather, is that if you'd like the least sucky UX while not leaving the designated path, Apple is the way to go. Otherwise, you're going to have "X Evenings". And even Apple land, despite the fame, is not without its weird incompatibilities, dongles, random issues and such.

To me, a lot of the frustrations boiled down to familiarity. I used to be touchy around Linux, because it was weird to me all the time, switching from a decade plus of Windows experience. Whatever broke with Linux, it was a Linux problem, and whatever broke in Windows, it was a stupid computer problem. Do you see the bias? Now that I have the user experience, Linux issues are familiar, and whenever there's anything that's out of place, I know where to look, what to search. And Windows, with its penchant to reorganize the Control Panel every release, seems like a maze to me, where I get more frustrated at every turn.

At the end of the day, it's pick your poison really.
Agree on that. Still it's difficult to see it as "union", rather as grassroots opposition party.

In the 2000/2001 the defense minister (Rudi something) wanted to have a direct communication channel to all officers of the army. They contracted the Telekom (aka T-Mobile). The result was a parallel modem line network with extra PCs next to the well established communication network of the army. It was called Rudiphone and a the most stupid project ever.

So yes, visions where always there but the implementation was indeed always a story
The exact definition of natural-born citizen has never been tested. This is literally the only part of the constitution which uses that term, and it isn’t defined. Some interpret it to mean born of US parents, regardless of actual birthplace.

Regardless, we can be confident that a naturalized citizen like Musk doesn’t meet the requirement.

Then tax those rents.

The fact that subsidies provided to improve affordability of rents generally increases those rent costs is long-recognised. Winston Churchill in 1906:

Some years ago in London there was a toll bar on a bridge across the Thames, and all the working people who lived on the south side of the river had to pay a daily toll of one penny for going and returning from their work. The spectacle of these poor people thus mulcted of so large a proportion of their earnings offended the public conscience, and agitation was set on foot, municipal authorities were roused, and at the cost of the taxpayers, the bridge was freed and the toll removed. All those people who used the bridge were saved sixpence a week, but within a very short time rents on the south side of the river were found to have risen about sixpence a week, or the amount of the toll which had been remitted!

<https://www.landvaluetax.org/history/winston-churchill-said-...>

Providing a subsidy sounds appealing to economically-naive voters and is appealing to economically-sophisticated rentiers. Such policies are highly politically tractable (they have broad support) but economically nonsensical (they aggravate rather than solve the underlying problem).

Economically, the two dynamics in constant tension are the Iron Law of Wages (wages fall to, or below, subsistence level), and the Law of Rent (rents rise to consume all surplus value).

The solution is to address both:

- A UBI provides an income floor which serves as a credible BATNA (best alternative to negotiated agreement) for any individual, whether or not part of the work force. An employer must offer terms at least as attractive as leisure (or alternative, potentially noneconomic activity) to attract new hires.

- A tax on rents, with the classic case being a land tax, returns surplus value to the public sphere and motivates holders of rent-generating assets to apply those to their greatest economic value, rather than letting them sit idle. (I'd extend the rents past the traditional land, but it's a useful illustrative case.)

Both prongs can be extended. Government might step in as, say, both employer and housing supplier of last resort, as well as providing credits to businesses which are truly socially-beneficial but economically nonviable (the classic definition of a public good: education, healthcare, emergency services, child and elder care, etc.) permitting these to function under a regime of both UBI and rents taxes.

Why do you think it's not practical? That's what Plasma offers already and I'm using it often.
> what is the actual drawback of these “huge” binaries?

The problem isn’t size. The problem is that with static linking it gets significantly more difficult to patch security vulnerabilities, because with dynamic linking, the vuln is gone once the underlying library is updated, however this wouldn’t happen with static linking.
