How many illegal immigrants have their passports and are willing to risk flying with them? I'm more talking about the mindset of illegally entering a country and then having the expectation that I can do anything there, anyway. Like in my Norway example, I can't imagine just walking to an airport and expecting everything to work out when I just boated into a random part of the country illegally. Is this a US idea that that should be expected to work? I don't have the perspective to know, so I'm asking.
I’d be interested in understanding this better - what kind of sensors do you have in mind that are junk?
Yeah. I think it's silly to make the claim, by and large. For me, using vim is like a hobby. It helps me get into flow state because I have fun writing and editing code using an editor I know well, have configured, and can zip around in fast without touching the mouse. I never try to convince anyone else to use it, though if a coworker shows interest I'm more than happy to oblige. It's the right tool for me. VS Code and IntelliJ products are the right tools for others, and that's cool too.
Exactly. They wonder why there are layoffs and they are one of them. Or like in the article, they think they’ll land another gig in 3 months or less.
I think your conspiracy theories are misplaced.
I had never had issues with external monitors until Ventura on the M1 Air.

Now, each time I plug it in to the monitor whatever will happen is pretty random. Sometimes it gets the full EDID from the monitor and everything is as I want it to be, including resolutions, refresh rate and positions. Sometimes, I get partial EDID and only some refresh rates available (my monitor goes up to 144Hz, sometimes macOS can only do 60 or 75Hz). When that happens, resolutions and screen positions may or may not be ok. Most of the time the laptop screen is set to mirror the monitor which is pretty much never what I wanted.

Other times it just doesn't properly detect the monitor which stays blank until I disconnect and reconnect - at which point any of the above paragraph might happen.

More rarely, the computer freezes and I need to force shutdown.
Sounds like you're doing the wise thing by starting therapy. Maybe you already know this but it might take a bit of trying out a few therapists/ counselors before you land on one that seems a good fit.

As to the voice in your head and the wants you're identifying, it sounds like you don't necessarily want to quit, or that you even want an idyllic rustic lifestyle. But more so that you wanna address where the feeling of being burnt-out and stuck is coming from. Like... I'm just a rando/ stranger from the internet, so take what I say with a grain of salt (and why a counselor will be way better to talk to than me and others here on this forum), but it seems like you want escape/ relief from your current life (in the form of just feeling peace that kinda looks like spending time outdoors), but there's a real pressure and possibly fear of feeling like if you seek this kinda peace, you are sabotaging yourself in the form of undoing all that you worked hard for, which translates to money, career, etc.

Just to give some perspective, it's possible to have a career while having a deep, settled feeling of peace in the core of who you are. This isn't easy. And it won't look the same for everyone. But it doesn't necessarily have to be an either-or thing.

But I get the sense it's going to be a longer journey – if not life-long in some sense – to find and maintain this sense of deep peace. It's not necessarily like a pill you pop or a light switch you turn on that changes everything in an instant, but a slow discovery that dawns upon you. I don't mean to sound so woo-woo, but just wanted to provide some perspective.
If you're interested in plugin development, why not try writing a few modules for VCV Rack to get your feet wet? Once you have done so and if you enjoy the work, why not apply to work at a company like Native Instruments?
Since heat pumps are moving heat around rather than actually producing it, they can be effectively better than 100% efficient so it's not so much that resistive heat is inefficient, but that it's less efficient than a heat pump.

The "positive effects" for some farmers must be offset by higher variance and less predictability due to climate change, surely?
I use several distros including Guix

The basic installer is as simple as any other mostly point and click. If you already have your config file you can use it

In less than a week did all common stuff, with less effort than I would think for such a different distribution: install, move installation to a different drive and PC, chroot, fix grub and installation, use a custom kernel, create a custom packages, install packages from other people channels...

I don't particularly care lisp, I did mostly copy and paste with nano, later installed geany for matching parentheses

Their official documentation is very good

Has less packages but you can install Nix packages

Since Nix uses systemd I would say it would be easier drop in replacement for someone from Debian
Reuters article conveniently left out the intro to those predictions:

Ideas I Learned in 2022
But then current compressors would end up cheaper and a difference would still exist.
Halfway through, but it's excellent. Like Anna Karenina, it's not difficult reading at all.
> Companies may be looking to reset expectations around compensation and working conditions. Offers are extended, but with extremely unpalatable terms compared to prior jobs. For unsavvy candidates, this won’t become apparent until late in the interview process.

This seems like something that will become especially prevalent this time around given the much higher level to which salaries were pushed during the bubble.
Heinlein was an American naval officer just after WWI and right before WWII. At that time it wasn't called "bias" it was simply "being American".

That quote was written in a very different world.
> I am not saying that it is better to store files in SQLite, just saying that nothing wrong with it, if those files are below 1Mb.

There is one very obvious thing wrong with it, the fact that those resulting images aren't files that are easily accessible to other things.

Unless storing in SQLite actually offers a real advantage in some other way, it's a disadvantage when the output is something you'll want to use with other tools.
Certain OTC and prescription drugs definitely require an ID. Think coffee syrups and potent pain meds.
It would be great if you could share your insights about finding work at these non-tech companies, either here or at my recent post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34108841. I've applied to far over 50 places and would be satisfied with that sort of thing at least for the near term.
That's why there is autofill in Android.
There are engineers complaining about not enough jobs/getting ghosted by employers, and employers complaining about not enough candidates/getting ghosted by candidates. It's easy to assume that the complaining engineers aren't qualified, or that the complaining employers have bad hiring processes.

In the end, I've learned nothing about the state of the job market.
What's the rough cost?

(obviously there will be lots of variation based on the complexity of the install, but the ballpark is still interesting)
What's the advantage of using this over systemd user services?

> That's not the impression i get from the people screaming they need to carry weapons to feel safe.

I don’t want to dive too deeply into this, as it isn’t the heart of your comment - but I do want to say that as someone who carries a firearm every day, it’s not because I feel unsafe. Rather, it’s because I see it as my responsibility to maintain that safety, not the responsibility of someone else (i.e., police).

It’s based in ideology, not inadequate governance.
Risk-averse Kyocera gambles nearly $10B of own shares on semiconductor growth
What's the big deal? You can always make more.

/s
I don't think so. The factories building the hardware require much more maintenance than the software just to keep the lights on, not including growth. Solid state stuff is incredibly reliable in comparison. Then add growth, which I already explained is where software truly shines in how cheap it is to scale in comparison.

There's a reason software companies are making fortunes. The margins are incredibly high, high enough to more than compensate for inefficiencies such as lavish office spaces, low employee utilization, etc.
A ton of masks used in the US were assembled in China, because they have the manufacturing capacity and labor cost advantage, even if they were built with meltblown filters produced in the US.

If the goal is pandemic preparedness, it would probably be most efficient to just build and mothball production lines, doing limited runs yearly to exercise the machinery.

The government has more than enough land and warehouse space.

As far as I understand, none of the components (or machinery to produce them) are particularly cutting edge... just limited because they were sized for pre-pandemic sales volume.

By that argument he could have taken a job at McDonald's flipping burgers and would be better off than 'zero'.

He did take a pay cut. 37% can be felt by anyone earning an income. It's often the decider if you have money left over after living expenses or not.

Let's say you earn 200K. 100k goes away for taxes et al (I am simplifying here), leaving you 100K for expenses. If your living expenses are 60K for rent, food, transportation, fun, family, you can save 40K a year for retirement.
Let's say you earn 37% less. That's 126K. 60k goes away for taxes et al (I am simplifying here), leaving you 66K for expenses. If your living expenses are 60K for rent, food, transportation, fun, family, you can save 6K a year for retirement.
Your savings just dropped by 85%, putting your retirement in danger.

Not saying OP shouldn't have accepted the offer. But let's not pretend this wasn't a significant pay cut.
Nice man, will check it out. I feel like his podcast is a particularly good use-case over others because it is dense with info and he speaks in a fairly structured and formal manner much of the time
1. The art of doing science and engineering by Richard Hamming. This might be the best engineering book I've ever read. Hamming's breadth and depth are fascinating. His back of the envelope calculations are crazy accurate and early accounts of computing hilarious(real programmers write machine code). There is a great account of his discovery of error correcting codes and a great account of his failure to discover FFT. All in all it's a wonderful book on how to think about things in science and engineering.

2. The open society and its enemies by Karl Popper. This is a great book on open society and liberal democracy. Broadly the book is a critic of historicist theories of Plato and Marx. There is also good philosophy on essentialism and the futility of getting closer to the truth by defining things more precisely.

3. Printing Press as an agent of change by Elizabeth Eisenstein. This account of the impact of the printing press on Europe is very long but worth it. The parts on the scientific revolution are particularly good.

End of the day personal fitting is the best choice. Unfortunately they only have 3 stores in the US (Chicago, Atlanta, NYC) but Rigby & Peller is awesome. Even if you're on vacation in one of those cities, worth the stop. Dillards, if in your area, is also a solid choice. They do a hell of a job. If you're in another locale, google bra shops/fitters. They're usually small boutiques. You want to find some place that carries brands such as Elomi, Goddess, Panache, La Leche, Empreinte, Royce, Va Bien, etc. It's not going to be cheap, but you will never know your boobs could be so happy.
Do you plan to release for other browsers?
My advice:

Have one or more side projects going all the time. If you get laid off, immediately start doing a startup, open-source project, or volunteering full time. A year of unemployment? Lonely, depressing, and not good on a resume.

A year of launching an unsuccessful venture? Running coding classes for the underserved? Focusing full-time on contributing to pytorch? That's a lot better, both at the time and in retrospect.

Side projects are also a good way to get hired. You meet people.

You also learn stuff, and stuff of the type you can't learn in a job.

You can also do the equivalent of an acquihire. If you want to work for the world's #1 drubble maker, and you spend 6 months developing a drubble startup, guess who'll come out the most knowledgeable and passionate about drubbles at the interview? And perhaps even bring in some helpful IP?

Your back story is "I tried to go it alone; I think I can do a lot more good with the backing of a company."

This is good, and/but is one dimension. A few from me:

- Have perspective. Several years down the line when you're in a new company/career/life, you will recognize this layoff was a necessary thing to happen for you to "get there."

- It's going to take a while. Every job I ever got, took waaaay longer than it should have. Things happen. Roles get filled internally, headcount goes away, etc. Job finding is inherently filled with friction, so if it takes 6 months or more, don't interpret that as "I am bad/this will never work" - it's just the nature of the beast.

- Be in sync with your family on what matters. My wife was very clear that she was going to be fine if it took me longer to find a role I was really excited about. We were lucky that we could afford that, and it's good to be explicit.

- There's no stigma in layoffs but you can generate your own stigma in how you talk about it. Don't be bitter and do provide some color. My answer why I was looking was "the company took a big revenue hit with COVID and had to reduce headcount. The strategy was to cut from areas that were further along in technological maturity, such as (my area.) We lost a lot of senior tech talent, including myself. I am really grateful having worked there, though!" This is 100% true to what happened and how I feel, and it's a great answer because it makes is clear I wasn't fired because I was bad, and shows some maturity and perspective.

- Be aware that your next job may not be your perfect job. It should be good enough that you MIGHT want to stay there, but at the very least can be a launching pad for your real next role. When you are laid off, the question isn't "do I see myself here the next 10 years" but more like "am I pretty sure this will be an interesting / worthwhile year and a half"

- Don't be negative. The author posted some spreadsheet about how rough his job search was and then was surprised that a company wasn't interested in him. I don't think this is the same as "truth can hurt you" - more like "companies are on the lookout for red flags, and if you are the kind of person who complains in public, maybe you are going to be a negative culture fit." That's doesn't mean they want yes-men, but there's a big difference between people who feel an obligation to dissent (strong positive) to perceived complainers. Complainers are poison.
Tech or finance
Am 90 pct through Project Hail Mary and agree this book is brilliant. If you're technically / sci-fi inclined you'll love this. The author ties together a great story with scientific knowledge which must have taken significant research. Children of Time is my next audio book coincidentally.
We've heard "transparency" so much lately that it now gets confused with honesty.
They're not the same.

If a company asks where else you are interviewing an honest but not transparent answer would be something like "I'm exploring other opportunities at various places but don't feel comfortable providing more details." If you were to ask a company who else they are interviewing for the same role, you would expect the same answer. It would probably cause alarm if they actually told you the names of other people they were interviewing!
Thank you for sharing that. What a surprising thing to learn!

Calculations fail if your browser locale uses number formats incompatible with en-US.

E.g. the "How many weekdays in a month?" (near the top of the page) calculation remains blank for me.

Changing the input from "*5" to "4.333333 * 5" makes it work -- the outcome of the previous step is "4,333333" (comma, not dot), breaking the next step...
Haven't missed a deadline in more than a year, which is more than I can say for most of my coworkers. It turns out that work with a fresh morning brain for 4 hours, a long break, and then later on more work with a refreshed brain is much more efficient than sitting for 8 hrs in an office for no reason.

If I choose to refresh myself via mid-day beer, so what? The code doesn't care how long I sit inside an office. It cares how well my brain works.

(..yes, too much beer and it won't work anymore. Everything in moderation.)

But otherwise, consider doing something else.
I think the consumer reports rating did more damage than he could but he didn't help.

But it is incomprehensible to imagine having double-digit BILLIONS cash in the bank, not on paper, in hand, and doing what he did to twitter?

It would be like the President of the United States daily tweeting insane petty crass things.

He obviously had competent people running SpaceX, Tesla, because all those products are too technical for him to be in charge exclusively.

But with twitter nope nope, it was an ego trip, hitting every branch on the way down.

I cannot comprehend having that much comfort in life and THAT is what you do with your time.

Each state in the US has a billionaire but most names are unknown. Not him.
The author mentions the "diamond-in-the-rough" strategy used by organizations, which in my experience can be particularly disrespectful of the interviewee's time. One thing I try to figure out how before applying to a job is how many applicants the organization is considering for the position. If they're interviewing a ton of people for one position, it's probably a waste of my time to apply. This is particularly true for organizations that use marathon interview sessions (doing a series of interviews over an entire day), and/or organizations that expect the interviewee to give a talk of interest to the organization (common in research positions). Customizing an old talk I have takes several hours. I know that I could use an old talk without modification, but I feel that I'd be at a significant disadvantage to do so.
In these days, Lazarus and FPC are a valid choice instead of Delphi, except when you are doing some heavy component based codes, like organization oriented projects. Plus side is Lazarus can produce a project and UI for almost any OS.

The Cynic’s Dilemma
I have gotten laid off, fired, or otherwise managed out so many times in the last year or so I am writing off the whole year on my resume and calling it a “personal development” year and not listing any short term positions on there. 2021-2022 was just a complete disaster for job stability relative to most of my previous career where I was doing 2-3 years minimum in a role. My personal recommendation in addition to TFA is enroll in COBRA and get an in-network therapist. I thankfully managed to survive off of credit cards, debt, and help from the parents, but if the recent role I landed ends up being a dud not sure what is next for me. Thankfully it seems to be going relatively well.
I didn't speak to their individualized or group subjective motivation, but an objective measure of what was done, so your whole response is completely off.
No you can disable that
>a job gives you a basic social identity

Just because this is a norm doesn't make it healthy. When your identity is rooted in something that can easily go away, it makes for a weak foundation. Lot of examples of jobs that are relatively short-lived (athletes, military, etc.) can show how difficult transitioning is when your identity is tied to your job.
> None of these depend on Steam or Proton.

The Steam Deck doesn't depend on Steam or Proton either, FWIW. If you want to throw Lakka or another homebrew emulation OS on it, it should work out-of-box.

That being said, I get the appeal of other/simpler handhelds for retrogaming. The Steam Deck's real party trick is a powerful GPU at a decently low wattage, which will go mostly unappreciated playing Symphony of the Night.
