I'd examine some of the assumptions underlying your post. Specifically, it seems like you want to find meaning in your work and to feel "at home in your job".

The median reader of Hacker News is in a privileged position to be thinking about these things. In an ideal world, we'd all find fulfillment in our work. But for 90%+ of the world, a job is just a way to put food on the table for your family. Mark Manson is "living his dream job" and "still hates about 30% of it". That's just life. [1]

So, here are some questions to ask:

1. What are your values?

2. Related: What is important about work for you? Is it the compensation? Working for a mission you believe in? Solving challenging problems? Being in an environment where you can learn every day?

3. Do you need to find meaning in your work? Or can you create meaning in other areas of your life?

Once you figure out the misalignment here you either:

a) make peace with what you truly value and want from a job, rather than what you assume you're meant to want or

b) correct the misalignment by finding a new position that reflects your values.

I am told by people who know better than me that it's quite terrible.
Definitely agree on the HAL. I didn't find the ESP32 docs too lacking though (for UART etc; for Wifi/BLE docs are non-existent of course).

With STM32 they often have 3+ different kinds of timers (advanced, basic, sometimes also low-power). Instead of having one chapter about all of them and saying this and that feature is only available in TIM1, they will copy&paste the 100+ pages chapter for every kind of timer... They must be auto-generating this stuff somehow.

edit: The NRF52 docs and architecture are much nicer than both (the registers seem to be designed by a programmer not a hardware person).
Same here. It doesn't use any GPU.

Once it’s been converted to primer it’s not rust anymore. Still probably heavier than the metal, but eh. Get a haircut.
I think it’s more drowned out than died out.
Yes. At least from what I’ve seen. They do anything for the home. That’s similar to servants/maids in other countries I’ve seen.
Yeah, she is a lawyer. And in addition to hiring engineers she would also require a group of lawyers and people(ex as well as current) from the government and law enforcement to get this working. This requires initial funding.
Of course making something illegal doesn't mean it will never happen again, and slavery and human trafficking still happen all over the world.

Nonetheless, there's naturally more outrage about places (like Saudi Arabia and Qatar) where it's still quasi-legal.
Mum's place
The sad part is that working as slave maids is the best possible option for a lot of these people. Last week only dozens of Rohingya refugees died because they were adrift on a ship for a month and no country rescued them because they didn't want migrants. South Asia sadly has a lot of such stories. Myanmar in conflict, Afghanistan is shambles, Pakistan desperately poor, Sri lanka also in chaos. Only India is somewhat stable. All of these poor people are exploited a lot by the rich Gulf states.
I only did Greek Language Transfer and Duolingo for a couple of months, but some words and even sentences sampled at random do make sense to me. Would you recommend the book to modern Greek learners as reading material?

WireGuard supports TCP and UDP directly, which allows securing MQTT or AMQP directly without adding an extra layer of HTTP/QUIC.

Certification also works differently: TLS (and OpenVPN) rely on Certificate Authorities while WireGuard relies directly on the public key of hosts. This has implications in how trust is managed in the network.
Not all property.

The old timey neighborhoods where people wave at their neighbors and have things like block parties is what they’re talking about. Communities built around human interaction as opposed to a hundred story apartment building where maybe you can recognize a couple of your neighbors if you saw them on the street.

It pains me to see a friend of mine constantly, just forever, in a depressed state. I do realise of course that social media isn't the only, or even probable, cause of depression in the first place but god damn does it keep you there!

Constantly getting wound up over rage bait material. The people posting these things literally did it that way so that you have a passionate response and engage ffs! Anger is easier to manufacture than happiness and you fall for it every time!

I used to call it as I saw it whenever they tried to share the rage with me but I realised all that was doing was making them dislike talking to me. At least the attempts to share the rage with me stopped.

Pull the thorn out of your brain and you might not be so pissed off and miserable all the time!
1) These types of comments always make me cringe because it's built on an assumption that everyone is solely trying to optimize for income. I know plenty of people who would take a pay cut to continuously work on what they consider more interesting problems than, say, a social media app or basic CRUD app.

2) COLA matters. $174k in, say, Southwest HQ in Dallas is roughly equated to $422k in SV.
For spa web applications I would say things are better now than 10 years ago. I do think crud apps have suffered from a lot of churn with not a lot to show though. And I do think a world where we make these type of apps increasingly with ai seems feasible for the next 10 years
I have been using linux since 2008. Have installed and used it on at least a dozen laptops in the time. The number of times I have not faced any battery or suspend related issues is, well, zero.

I have been that guy who loved to customize every last ounce of the user facing experience of my system. (I still spend most of my time inside of Emacs irrespective of which OS I'm on.) I had a dotconfig folder that I used to carry around to different machines and it's fun and all that. But I'm no longer a student, I simply can not justify spending time tinkering around trying to get the basics working. Bad battery life is a deal breaker. Unreliable suspend is a deal breaker. No, I will not spend a minute trying to get it working. I would rather just run linux on virtualbox or, more recently, use Windows + WSL or a Mac.

DKIM and SPF are more important for phishing than for spam. Without them, it’s very easy to spoof senders.
Not disagreeing with you but..

I was once thinking like the OP too. However, life taught me that you can find someone to do any sh*t job (provided you pick from a large enough pool). Likely because their circumstances are improved by it, at least a little.

Hence I'd rather try to improve things a little bit for one person, unlike my purist (and naive) younger self.

I must admit though, personally I still find it hard still to make someone else do something I myself loathe doing.
that one hit home. Just yesterday I was reflecting on my utter unhappiness at work. i'm working in a predator wanna be environment and that alone killed all my enthusiasm. so your input just confirmed that it's time to move on
Something more likely to be achievable is (semi-automatically) converting the literature to formal proof sketches, leaving some steps unfilled. Then the option of whether to accept such proofs as they are or try to make them totally rigorous can just be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

Unfortunately, modern proof assistants like Lean and Coq make this a bit harder than it could be because they're based on procedural proof scripts or complete proof terms, and a proof sketch is closer to a partial declarative proof. Since declarative proofs write down every intermediate goal, the notion of skipping some steps arises very naturally.
Eh... I had many, many battles with parallel SCSI. However, once active terminators became widely available and affordable (late 90s-ish) it was practically plug&play (just mind the ID switches)

The trickier bit would be to find one of those old SCSI-attached ethernet devices (Asanté, DaynaPort, EtherMac, ...) since they're coveted items in the retro scene. Although it looks like at least PiSCSI can emulate a DaynaPort https://github.com/PiSCSI/piscsi/wiki/Dayna-Port-SCSI-Link

It's just a regex. When the model outputs "[calculate]12+34=[/calculate]" you append the result "46" and continue with the model.

In some papers they even use named symbols. So you could have "[code]width=10; height=20[/code]. What is the area? ... The area is [code]width * height[/code].

It doesn't appear that "black" in "black market" refers to race:

Secure borders can stop a lot of it.
use IRC to give it commands and see logs so vpn is not always on (i.e: when you want vpn, you tell it to connect to an external IP, perhaps spin up a vm for that). Don't expose it directly as it would be easy to flood it into submission in addition to it being insecure.

Once connected - use it to tunnel traffic back to network.

Anything else would work though (telegram/cloudflare tunnels/...), It's just what I would use.
Neat. Little bit frustrating that there was no input measurement. I strongly suspect you'd need very good insulation to make it viable.

Edit: Watched the freezer video. Performance is predictably bad, but not as awful as one would expect. Might actually be a viable daily driver with thick enough insulation or vacuum panels.
For useMemo and useCallback, Typescript and exhaustive-hooks will both tell you to add a dependency array, because without it those hooks do nothing.

For useEffect, exhaustive-hooks & Typescript say nothing, because a non-memoised Effect is a reasonable thing to write. It’s just not a great thing to write accidentally.

Go on then, link this "dark web" website where they sell people.

What do you even mean by "dark web"? Stuff like this definitely doesn't exist on the onionland.
This makes no sense.

Why would non-profit applicants be competing with for-profit ones? Surely they'll be separate pools.
Fwiw - I've been buying used and refurbished ThinkPads for a decade. Maybe because they're typically used for business but they've aLl been in immaculate shape (no gritty keyboards) and have them lasted for many many years. None of them actually failed me, I just eventually moved on. I still use a t420 and two t420s ThinkPads which I got used and are now coming to 11 years old. I just got a t440 which is probably 8-9 years old.

There's more time to connect and have fun with people in the real world when less time is spent on reading & writing comments on the Internet.
Especially since there are very few people that can actually be 100% creative. Most human creativity is derivative. I didn't invent a new language I learned English.

If you think about it the most creative is random noise. then you apply rules it it to constrain the noise or limit the predictions. And add more rules in layers. so getting the system to produce more creativity is just relaxing the rules at different layers.
> The constitution doesn't consider that slavery but the rest of the world certainly can.

It does actually.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
It's a versatile tool! Important to note though that nginx will wait for the mirrored requests to complete before it responds to the main request. you can somewhat mitigate this by setting a low mirror timeout.
I've started wondering recently if we're starting to see a slow, gradual rejection of online shopping and going back to physical stores. I was in my local chain record store recently and physical albums seem to be back, especially vinyl. Even my daughter who was raised completely in the streaming-era remarked that looking through the record store was "way more fun".

Perhaps it's too late for many stores but I'd love it if we were actually on some kind of partial "rebalancing" of retail.
I don't necessarily agree...

I want widespread crypto, because I want to have the autonomy to initiate transfers myself, transparency of my accounts, easier back office, less payment middlemen, etc.

Yet I would like a state managed crypto (e-euro?) so that a fraudulous transfer, stolen wallet, etc can be canceled.

- We're in 2022 and I still can't have an API with my bank to analyze my purchases, I have to parse PDF monthly reports.

- I still can't automate my savings without a third party robo advisor than requires me giving my account credentials.

- I can't easily make FX swaps without a third party broker with 2 days wire transfers in/out.

- I can't swap without a brokerage margin account.

etc.

Centralized crypto? yes please, it's still better than the current state of affairs.

Not everyone lives in Europe or the US with fancy worldwide smart banking. Here in HK, banks are from the 90s. Crypto centralized would level the banking experience to the current century.

Aside from putting the burden for file management of the vault on the customer, help me understand how local storage (with backups) isn't the safest place to keep my passwords from being compromised.
I wasn't referring to prison labor although that is a valid discussion too. It's ironic that the "land of the free" only leads in incarcerated citizens, obesity, and diabetes per capita.

I also don't have a reference on hand. I listened to an NPR radio segment that blew my mind. There's a bunch of information from reputable sources but finding a specific number can be tricky. First of all, it's estimated because it's obviously unknown. Also, defining the "bounds" of slavery inherently changes the count. There is a fairly recent citation that states there are 400,000 enslaved people in the United States on any given day.

For people saying slavery is 100% abolished in the US. It’s just masked as Penal labor.

Slave labor in the United States is explicitly allowed by the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Maybe? Never seen it, curious if you have links to share.
Hate to break it to you, but they didn’t work millions of Aztecs to death in the mines to save them from human sacrifice.
Most places skirt that by paying the inmates for the work. However, the pay determined was decided in 1896 at 27p/day. That's 27 cents. A day. It might have changed over the years but that's what it was in Virginia when my step-father was a judge.

"The Global Slavery Index 2018 estimates that on any given day in 2016 there were 403,000 people living in conditions of modern slavery in the United States, a prevalence of 1.3 victims of modern slavery for every thousand in the country."

I'm not entirely sure how they got to that number though.

It's also important to remember that slavery is explicitly allowed in the US constitution, and there are certainly valid interpretations of modern slavery that would count significant numbers of those currently incarcerated as being victims of modern slavery - for example https://harvardpolitics.com/involuntary-servitude-how-prison...

My experience with western medicine has been very black and white. Either you're completely broken and it's so obvious what's wrong with you that you barely need a doctor, or you're partially broken in which case doctors know very little and rely on experience, murky clues, and their gut.

This made sense once I realized doctors know much less about the human body then they pretend to. Not only is our understanding of physical health far less "advanced" than advertised, but the system is far too complex for any one doctor to comprehend. Medicine is far from the only field in which this is the case.

Computers have become too complex for any one engineer to understand in full. Leadership has always had this quality. These are fairly obvious, but I wonder if most (all?) domains of life share this. Consider the recent discovery that the varnish used on Stradivarius violins gave them their amazing sound. Hundreds of years ago, this was almost certainly discovered through luck or intuition.

In contrast to the author, I find joy in this. Not only does it reveal boundless territory waiting to be explored and discovered, but it gives meaning and purpose to being human since no technology comes close, or perhaps will ever come close, to matching the extraordinary abilities of human intuition.
You sound like a Vietnamese living abroad with hatred and resentment - while some of what you said is true to a certain extent, this kind of attitude won't contribute anything to the discussion itself, especially the last sentence. What's the point?
Perhaps they're mocked and avoided in your sphere but there's certainly plenty of consumer products using them. Both sonoff and Tuya produce enormous amounts of products with them.

Espressif seems to be pulling $180m per year [0], so I guess on the order of 100m devices. The likes of ST and NXP have 10-20x the revenue, but I would venture the majority of what they are selling isn't connected. Nordic revenue was $600m, most of it BLE likely. So I guess Espressif is somewhat significant but definitely not dominant.

We have a Filipino woman who works for us. She has been a citizen here for 25 years and has worked for us for 12. Her sister went to Qatar 15 years ago and has been miserable. We have just finished preparing a sponsorship for her in our country and now need to extract her.

It involves having a replacement passport printed for her in the Philippines, her brother flying to Qatar under his Canadian passport and then bussing her to a neighbouring country to fly out of.

I know a lot of people, especially Americans, just can’t help but take a crap on America every chance they get, but we’re talking about a 15 year old crime, for which the perpetrators were held accountable versus an active slave trade in Saudi Arabia. Human trafficking in all forms is abhorrent but these are not the same IMHO.
