You can also just live below your means, buy the least expensive house and car, pay those off. Sell if you get the chance for a ton, and repeat. Over your life, you will accumulate if you don’t spend stupidly. It’s boring, and it ain’t quick but it does work. The problem with this is that some people live in very expensive areas where no house is cheap enough to deliver a payoff time below 30 years without making seven figures a year.

Scores are ambiguous ("where exactly did the ball land?"), controversial and contentious, resulting in endless video replays and accusations of biased refs.

> Maybe you suggest a place where I can apply in such a situation, maybe there are funds that help Ukrainians? Or maybe a place where I can get quickly find a job and get payout?

Many really good academic institutions are offering jobs for Ukrainians. Some might be willing to offer remote work if you are not intending to relocate.

It might not be ideal if you are in industry, but it might be a quick way to get decent income and a well recognized brand name on your CV.

Given that you have a CS background, it should be quite easy to land an offer. Just ping me (email on my profile) if you have any difficulties finding positions or need some suggestions.

One doesn't. One builds 3.5 million homes, mostly apartments.
christmas is the busiest time for one of my customers, and just last week one of the data servers had hardware issues that ended up in everything but the disks being replaced because the hosting provider could not find which component was actually broken. i am busy rebuilding raid since, but already 2 out of 3 raid devices restored. it was touch and go for a while, with a risk of loosing the whole server (because raid kept claiming that disks were faulty when they really weren't) i am already rethinking the architecture to make it more robust and am trying to convince the customer to invest in new servers for that.

i am the only one in my role, so i'll be monitoring the rebuild process over the holidays. that said, i don't celebrate christmas anyways, so in a team i'd be the first to volunteer to be on call at this time to allow others to relax, while i'd be taking time off on my own holidays.
should be fixed! :)
Good question but I'm struggling to come up with any examples.

Religion, the authority of parents/elders, finding a mate and building and supporting a family; these were powerful forces for hundreds of years and people snapped to them pretty reliably. Until the 60's.

I'm not a historian so it's very likely there are counterexamples I'm not thinking of.
I’ve been saying that we need some sort of walkabout for while now. Turning 18 is a terrible proxy for adulthood, especially in a world where we continue to infantilize and arrest the development of young folks by further sheltering them.

We need a better proxy for maturity to do things like vote than just how many years you’ve existed.
Hear hear.

I'm traveling in Taiwan right now and it's just night and day. Outside of NY and small areas of Boston/Chicago/Phili/SF proper it's just a disaster in the US.
That enumeration exists though as I'm sure multiple dictionaries are in the corpus that were fed to ChatGPT.

There is an audio clip of Steve Jobs at FastCompany.com attributing his success to going to lengths to hire the best engineers.

In many cases, more."

It makes sense for things that the contract can control.

If the contact enforces that when $tokenAmount is sent to $address, $asset is sent to $depositor.

If and when more things exist on the blockchain, and/or more physical institutions sign on to it, and/or more and more digital goods are worth transacting in such a fashion, then smart contracts will make more sense.

If neither of those materialize more tangibly than they do, it'll be hard to manufacture use cases for it, I think (though I am hardly an expert).

But considering the types of things that are already mostly digital, it seems like we have the _potential_ to lean into the latter case. Domain names, accounts, Github subscriptions, e-books, music, rights to watch movies / television shows, etc., those things could all be integrated into the blockchain and enforced via smart contracts easily.

Probably the best use case I've seen is stadium / conference tickets, but if we ever get to a phase where companies significantly adopt, we can do some interesting things, like communal ownership of assets. Ownership stake can be variable, depending on who is doing the most work. Profits could then conceivably be distributed among those who have earned it the most. "What to do next" could be a decision that is decided upon by a council of token-holders, for better or worse, and truly non-managerial workers could meaningfully participate in a company's decision-making, profit-sharing, etc.
Haven't taken LSD but I have done writing on weed.

I think it reduces inhibitions, which has tradeoffs. There's a lot of crap, but there's also a lot more than I'd usually write, and sometimes it's stuff I'd never have written out sober (for good or bad reasons).

I'd say it's a worthwhile endeavor on occasion for recreation, and unlikely to help professionally, at least for me.
Just had a pointless alarm go off that resolved after a few minutes. According to the Runbook there isn’t even any action that can be taken!
Yeah, if it isn't actually "full self driving" then it shouldn't be called that.

This is different than "Autopilot" which is a perfectly valid name.
I'm guessing you didn't pay for it so there is no hope in this case
> What about the millions of people who live in apartments and rowhouses?

If they have cars, they have a place to park them, and this place can host a charger. Outdoor parking without access controls may have security issues, but that's true without a charging point, too.
That's a good thing. Cryptocurrencies are supposed to operate by consent, and that includes the ability to separate when consent for a ruleset can no longer be maintained. One of the main problems with PoW is that those who support the stronger fork can attack those who support the weaker fork if they are willing to expend the resources. Ethereum's PoS solves that and ensures that every user has an equal technical ability to withdraw their consent and take their money to a chain with rules they support.

The key is in the fact that violating the rules on Ethereum's PoS causes you to lose Ether, which means you eventually lose all your Ether and can no longer sabotage the chain. This is in contrast with PoW systems, where your mining hardware doesn't deteriorate any faster just because you are mining empty or invalid blocks, so you can do that forever and effectively shut down a chain that is small enough relative to your computer power. The only defence a PoW fork has against such an attack is to switch to a different algorithm that is less compatible to the attacker's hardware, but that harms non-attacking miners just as much. PoW has an element of "might make right" while PoS is completely consensual.
All you're doing is driving wages down and hurting poor people. You're not helping who you think you are..

As illegal immigration increases, so does inequality leading to inevitable results like this. And we all sit and pretend there is no correlation because that would sound mean.
Where do those people park their cars now? Wherever that is, put a charger on a post next to the spot.
Yea the CIA definitely never gets involved either
Not everybody has a garage. Cities are full of parked cars in front of residential buildings. It did park my car in a street when I was living in a city.

By 2035 those streets must be refitted with chargers, one per parking slot and somehow replace the energy distributed as gasoline and diesel with electrical energy. If that doesn't happen people will have to leave their car at a charging station for far more time than what it takes to fill a tank with gas. And that doesn't solve the problem of the energy.

Or having a car will get so expensive that only a few people will afford it and that will solve all those problems, but create others.
Nice work man.

Merry Christmas.
The "clovis mafia" has been gone for well over a decade now. The idea became pretty mainstream by the early 2000s and most relevant academics were thoroughly convinced of pre-clovis by 2008 or so.
Im convinced this teacher’s struggle is part of a larger problem. We condition children to optimize for grades and test scores, which results in empty memorization and very little critical thinking ability.

It’s also not only that. My own CS curriculum had a lot of “draw the rest of the f’ing owl” vibes, where the instructor provides a few bread crumbs of information but then wants you to design Beethoven’s 5th.

What’s worked for me - when I need to convey complexity to others - is investing time and energy in building intuition. Here’s the problem, here’s a metaphor describing the situation and context.

The author notes recursion, which I think is probably one of the most poorly taught concepts. Little to no intuition.
Self-hosted for about 20 years now. Currently running a few VMs in a Hetzner cloud project built with terraform and managed with Ansible - dovecot proxy, postfix and rspamd on the public host, dovecot with encrypted-at-rest storage (mail-crypt) on the private host and another host running monitoring (Prometheus, graylog etc etc)
That is still considered racism. Don't shoot the messenger. You can read up on how the concept of whiteness fits in on your own time.

I dont know where you live, but goverments like Brazil and UK, normally have courses and conselours to help new farmers settle in. If you leave in the us is problably something in the state level. Try call the local city hall.
What happens is you'll write a paper titled "The first SHA-256 collision: SHA-256 is broken in practice", since there are currently no known collisions (despite Bitcoin miners computing exahashes per second). The chances of you finding the first known collision by accident are overwhelming slim, and the benefits of showing that a widely used hash function is broken would greatly exceed the annoyance of a broken system.
I think it's popular to "dig" on Texas, and also it will probably generate more clicks since last year's Texas freeze is still fresh on people's minds.
You're technically correct. Strictly speaking, yes, noon and midnight are not afternoon or after-midnight. However, that's what your digital clock will show. At 12:00:00 noon, it will say PM.
I love the belief in the efficient market hypothesis as an active investor, because it means so much less competition. I am saddened by the belief in the efficient market hypothesis as a lover of fellow humans, because it is such a colossal untruth that it harms people immensely and takes away agency.

If you understand an industry or market segment deeply, you can indeed do much better than the index within that segment. It’s a fact born out by my own experience - you can separate a MongoDB from an AWS if you know a bit about technology and don’t look simply at press releases and Gartner reports.
If you quit you're a leaver but not if you get laid off.
> you can always set "do not disturb"

This is my hill to die on. You can't set your friends' phones to DND. Camping with friends means that somebody is still tethered to the internet, blathering about the news that I'm generally trying to get away from. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook are ever-present even if you don't personally use them. You can't log out, even if you never logged in. AR will bring that to a whole new level. Fuck this future.

"Stochiastic Parrot" is perhaps the best term. It knows nothing & understands less. It's just hallucinated nonsense, albeit well reinforced & coached nonsense.
Sounds like my experience with software procurement in state government in the USA. The basic problem as I see it is that the companies that get contracts aren't especially good at writing software, where they really shine is in understanding the intricacies of the procurement process.
> You'd have to be pretty simple to think that election results report on accurate outcomes.

Thanks, yes I’m simple.

> Taking the past two US presidential elections, most people thought either 2016 or 2020 was fraudulent.

As far as I know this isn’t true. Most people in the US do not believe that either 2016 or 2020 were fraudulent.

For instance, here are the front pages of many newspapers after the 2016 election results: https://www.vox.com/presidential-election/2016/11/9/13572686...

Can you point to data sources that substantiate your claim?
Yup - as I’ve read here you need to talk to a therapist, and also it seems you need some intellectual stimulation to give you some direction of motivation in life.

It sounds like you lost your purpose, which can be an existential crisis - but as you mentioned you have a loving family, a house … etc.

I had to leave my career in the army at 30 because of PTSD, fell into VERY rough times, and after all that had 2 kids which helped provide a bit of perspective.

Now, I’m feeling many of the same things but am going back for a new degree in a couple months, I keep myself busy with some of the new technology, and had to really gain some acceptance with myself and my feelings.

And that can be the hardest thing, when the day is over and everything is quiet and I’m forced to be alone with my screaming thoughts.

It can be tough and overwhelming, especially during this time of year. It’s hard but try to have some acceptance that you are right where the universe needs you to be - we like to fool ourselves that we retain some sort of control but we don’t.

Stay positive, friend.
~$78k post tax, means that someone likely needs to earn $120k or more in income to foot this bill. That’s an astronomical sum when you consider that the US median household income is about ~$71k. $120k is around 87th percentile.
Great plan! Tell us how..
I didnt watch the videos, so I can't judge her, but if she's knowingly messing up these other people's lives for no good reason, aside from money-making or clout-chasing, that would seem pretty selfish to me.

I don't use tiktok, but don't these algorithms just show people things other people watched a lot of?
Well I don't think it's any exaggeration at all.

The president has said multiple times in the past decades that he intends to install socialism in Brazil. He's tried it before in past governments with plans to relativize private property rights, regulate the press, heavily tax great fortunes and whatnot. Even the press that campaigned for him relentlessly these last four years used to criticize that. There's a judiciary dictatorship on top of all that with the congress and senate being completely worthless, just like in Venezuela. Lula is now old, cancerous, with nothing to lose and vengeful due to being arrested for corruption and his party losing the previous election to "fascists". He was openly threatening other politicians who didn't ally with him even before the election. After the election, I saw him tell journalists they could work but "without badmouthing the government".

It's no exaggeration at all to believe this country is finished. Anyone who believed in a moderate government has already jumped ship and wished good luck to anyone still in this shithole. I'm thinking of getting the fuck out of here myself, I only hesitate because of my family.
I'd like to add my endorsement for PurelyMail.

It's been a reliable (for the past 4 years I've used it) solution, with easy setup and laughably small cost. Currently it costs me about $0.3 per month to host personal mail for multiple domains (only one having some moderate activity in fairness).

All of these are mostly personal emails, I haven't tried to send large amount of emails to test their outgoing policies.
No, the comment I was responding to explicitly made the connection between changing housing types in a neighborhood and people joining right wing extremist movements. I am pointing out that making policy decisions based on what justification right wing extremists may use for having joined those movements is foolish.

By what means we should base those decisions is an open and difficult question with much variability based on culture and community. And I'm not trying to make those decisions for anyone else despite how tempting it is to frame my position that way.

But again "what will make people who are sympathetic to right wing extremist movements content" is not a metric I accept for evaluating public policy.

The klan isn't an abstract boogeyman for me I am a southerner they have been my neighbors, enemies, coworkers, peers all my life. I have seen family members join it and seen their development on the way there. Finding a great injustice in predictable municipal and demographic changes is certainly a seed of those worldviews. Proto- you might say. Find what signal you will in that.
Christmas celebrations in the Southern Emisphere are a curious legacy of colonialism. In the same way we still celebrate Saturn every week because the Romans conquered the whole of Europe and North-Africa, people over there will celebrate Christ in the middle of summer probably forever - just because Europeans planted their flags in every nook and cranny.
even that's misleading honestly and Tesla is battling in courts over that label here in Germany. In my opinion the correct label in both the technical sense and informing the average consumer correctly is 'driving assistance'. A system that requires you to have the hands on the wheel at all times and be fully alert and ready to intercept on average every few miles is not an autopilot either.
It feels like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, etc - should be treated as sources of promotion (self-promotion, or otherwise). Then the information found on them can.be treated approximately.
Great article. It is almost always the case that we live under "assumed constraints". Most of the time when we question the underlying assumptions we are able to break the constraint or relax it to obtain a better solution.

The Goal, by Eliyahu M. Goldratt is highly recommended for understanding Theory of Constraints told from the view of a fictional plant manager.
To everyone whose response is, "I'm not a Christian, but...," why dump on other people's good wishes? If a holiday is about free time, good food, meeting friends, and general expressions of good will, who cares what the historical origin was? When I lived in the Middle East, I always responded to "Happy Eid" in kind, not "I'm not a Muslim, but..." I accepted the holiday in its intended spirit and I honestly enjoyed Eid over there as much as Christmas in America.
The problem is that religion perpetuates itself by adherence to a set of shared beliefs, so it cannot survive a significant proportion of followers saying "these beliefs aren't literally true but the benefits of community and belonging are absolutely worth it."

If faking belief weren't so detrimental to the soul it would be an obvious choice for those people with a stubborn habit of needing proof.

Hi all,

I'm writing a series of medium articles on the Blind 75 problems and I need your feedback on the quality of my writing. Each article has a section titled Solution, where I explain the most important steps involved in one single solution, but which satisfies the given constraints on time and space complexity. My goal here is not to explain every solution to the problem, nor the fundamental CS concepts like Trees, Dynamic Programming, etc. It's just to explain the algorithm clearly so that someone who's never seen it before could understand it fairly quickly, provided that they have the prerequisite knowledge. Everything else is just copy/pasted content, so please tell me specifically about the material that only I have written. Again, that's the material in the Solution section. If you'd never seen it before, could you digest it? Can it be improved upon in any way?

Ultimately, I will write about other coding topics and some content on high-level finance and the economy. For now, I want to make sure that my explanations are up to par.

They’re kind of gaudy and repetitive stylistically anyways. For that kind of money there are far more interesting, artistic, or subtle watches you can buy in my honest opinion. And if it was all about status then I’d just say save your money and buy a Patek or whatever
The author just wrote a very poorly worded prompt. I asked it "Is the number of letters in the word ‘prime’ a prime number?" and it instantly got it correct. Maybe they patched the model or improved in the background? Who knows.
