I’m interested to see in the comments here if this is true. I retired early and it does seem to kind of match my experiences. I feel aimless. There’s only so much video games and watching crypto charts and gardening I can do in a day. I’m thinking of going back into cancer research. I want to fight for things again and help the world.

My brother had a similar experience once and told me something that has stuck with me. “You’ve got to have a job or you get weird.”

My recent experience has colored my entire opinion of the thought of retiring early and retiring in general. I’m not sure I ever want that. Although I don’t want to lose 40+ hours of my life each week either. I think 3-4 days worth of work per week would be about perfect. Or working only mornings. Everything you actually need to do at work could probably be condensed down to each morning. The rest is filler and pointless meetings. But going to zero work hasn’t felt good either.

No need to be negative. It's a fun project and I'm sure you'll get a chance to try it.
Conspiracy theorists and people who believe in non-mainstream things (like Flat-earthers) are the last people prosecutors want on juries because they're sympathetic to people who allege to have the system wrongfully working against them.

It's the well to do types who've only ever lived their life in nice places, never stepped out of line and never had much if any adversarial interaction with government systems that prosecutors want on the jury.
I think this may be because they're very good at consuming little power. That's not exactly the ESP's domain (though you can kind of make it work), with WiFi itself being more power-intensive.

Let's remember that when the ESP8266 came out, it was basically the only WiFi MCU you could just use. Maybe there were others, but they had no community, so Espressif won out for the makers. And the makers went on to ... make ... IoT devices.
WhatsApp isn't social media
From the website:

> sim is a simple, interactive, multi-file text editor designed for screens with monospaced font. It is heavily inspired on the 'vim' and 'sam' text editors, hence the name sim. The main goal of this software is portability. It only depends only on the C89 standard, and tries to minimize the usage of system calls as much as possible, making it easy (or not even necessary) to port to another environment.
Those games should have been boycotted by any country that is a signatory to various anti-slavery declarations. Instead they were used to whitewash the reputation of the government.
I think it is not that far away, my prediction is

- the value of real face 2 face interaction for both business and personal life will go up again.

- We will see more of twitter's pay to participate models as an attempt to verify real human beings.

- Online advertising will waste trillions of dollars and be late to realize they are selling to bots.
Someone could record an audiobook version so people can read along and figure out the sound values on the fly.

There's no single way to define someone as incompetent or smart. It's all context and job specific rather than some blanket absolute judgement of someone. Someone not competent for the job at hand will have gotten that far in their careers for some other reason. A fairly common reason is being able to play office politics and sacrifice others for their own benefit.

>Having some coined judgemental framework will definitely cause oversights eventually.

Yes, nothing ever is perfect, everything is tradeoffs and likelihoods of certain outcomes. I'd like to note that judging something as broken because it is not perfect is in itself an inflexible judgmental framework.
For the purposes of discussions like this, abolish should be defined as: to repeal the statutes creating the institution of slavery.

It is a stepping stone toward greater legal rights, and not an all-or-nothing goal.
Available and possible options are two different things.

Unfortunately what is available to most is far less than what is possible.
If Vietnam's GDP last year was $1 billion, and this year it's $1.082b, that's an 8.2% growth.

Lets assume that GDP is entirely from selling widgets.

Last year they sold 108 billion widgets and received $1b dollars, 108 widgets for a dollar. They spend that $1b on 1 million units of oil.

This year they produce the same 108 billion widgets, but this time they will only say 100 widgets for a dollar, so they get 108b - 8% growth.

They then spend that $108b on 1 million units of oil (as oil is more expensive)

Has the economic output really grown 8%?

Or is it that they are still making 108 billion identical widgets as last year, so no change in output, just charging more, but the dollars they get will buy less oil?

Or are GDP figures adjusted for inflation?
Typical "curl | bash" script requires root, as it want to write to your /usr/bin, /usr/lib and others. You could trick it with chroot, maybe. And maybe not. But in such case you should to discover all dependencies it needs hard way, as you need to put them in your chroot too.
This sounds like a Spendesk problem, not an ebook problem.
… but many satisfy this requirement by going to a pharma sponsored convention, which only has a small number of talks (all vetted by the sponsor to be favorable, if not actively marketing for sponsor), and just happens to be in a great resort of some sort.

This being why I call oil “conflict fuel” and try to minimize my use as close to zero as possible.

The term “trafficking” unnecessarily obscures the reality of this phenomenon. It’s slavery. Call it slavery.
I think that is true - domestic absorption refrigerators were not uncommon in the early 20th century. The development of reliable hermetically sealed compressors, greatly reducing the risk of refrigerant leaks, may have tipped the balance in favor of compression refrigeration.

Interestingly, Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard made a foray into the field, patenting an electromagnetic refrigerator that was not commercially successful.

https://invention.si.edu/einstein-szilard-refrigerator

Update: from a quick look at the patent referenced here, it seems to be a rather conventional heat-driven absorption refrigerator - the plot thickens!

Update 2: The above article is conflating two different inventions. Einstein and Szilard also patented a compression refrigerator driven by a magneto-hydrodynamic pump of their invention, which used an internal liquid metal as its moving part and consequently required no seals to keep the refrigerant from leaking. It was far from being silent, however.

You are 32ish. That’s still very young in the grand scheme of things and plenty of time to turn things around. Went through this myself, and did a complete 180 at the ripe age of 41, so you are way ahead than me.

Introspection can only work so much. “Extro”spection can be twice as effective. You can only know so much internally.

You mention not having love for the “art”. What do you have love for? Or what pulls you towards it, even if only slightly? Have you explored that or given it enough time to turn into something?

Looking for inherent meaning in work can be a mirage. You have to “create” that meaning for whatever you are doing.

I have written about my own experience that might be useful.

> Have you had moments where you did a sober double take and decided to alter your course or commit to it and stay on it? Heck, maybe close the laptop altogether.

One data point for you: In 2011, age 27, I left the laptop in San Francisco and took off with a backpack, thinking that I might never code again. About 2 months in I was in Thailand and randomly stumbled across an interesting book on assembly language, got myself a netbook, and was hooked. That was the last time I questioned it. I love programming and will do it as long as I'm living.

> What questions would you say one can ask themselves to really get to the bottom of it?

Is there a big question or contrarian idea that motivates you?

My biggest mistake in life has been not believing in myself when in the minority, and thinking my math or understanding of the world must be wrong and I must be the crazy one. After 2020 (when most of the world went full idiot regarding a bad flu), I realized I was completely wrong about the distribution of courage, honor, and intelligence in society, and that society is often crazy, and the ones called "crazy" by the talking heads are actually often the sane ones (Elon is a great case in point right now).
As an aside one thing I’ve found is that it’s nice to have people count on you - but you also need to work on counting on others to build relationships that are deep. And sometimes those people will fail you (and sometimes you fail others) but that’s not the end of the world.

It becomes especially obvious when you have children; you have to start counting on them quite early to let them grow.

Vietnam is hot, very humid, and for a large part of the year, extremely rainy. I guess many people would prefer that to living near the arctic circle.

I’ve never heard a Vietnamese person longing for the weather.
I know what you mean about the bad writing, but I don’t think that makes it a terrible book. Unfortunately most sci-fi has flat writing for the same reason most great literature recycles the same ideas and concepts: it’s hard to do everything at once.

Sci-fi generally sacrifices prose quality and character depth to pack in more interesting ideas; great literature generally makes the opposite tradeoff. If you read a sci-fi novel expecting great writing you’ll be frustrated.

Three Body Problem had enough interesting ideas to keep me turning the page, where most sci-fi novels don’t—I prefer short stories for sci-fi exactly because of the generally low quality writing.
I'm using a great ReDoS checker.

https://github.com/makenowjust-labs/recheck

I use the checker to basically fix even regular expressions that are not actually vulnerable. This checker can be used as a lint, so there is no excuse to allow regular lint but not regular expression lint. ReDoS hunt is very enjoyable. Enjoy!
I remember people clowning on the Steam controller at the time, but I used it for many games (having to, at the time, manually map the controller inputs) and it was perfect for me. The dual trackpads that I could map to become radial controls, touch controls, whatever I wanted was awesome (I was really in to Elite: Dangerous at the time). I think a lot of gamers just don't have the time or motivation to tinker and customize the thing for themselves. Also, a lot of games didn't handle the Steam Controller's rapid input doubling/switching between mouse and gamepad.
I've heard of other recent cases of slavery, but unfortunately this was the only one I remembered enough details about to find a reference to. I'm guessing that for every case that's discovered and prosecuted, there are many others that are not (seems to be true of crimes in general).

And I certainly have no intention of crapping on America, which has provided me with many opportunities. But I think we should be aware that horrors like slavery can happen here too, not just in far-off countries.
They talk about using Rust for over 5 years, and yet they delivered nothing, and switched to using Unreal for their commercial games and upcoming games (2 new titles already announced with Unreal)

Lot of buzz for nothing, just like with Firefox

Rust doesn't seem capable enough for that kind of projects

Other comments mentions pieces of the Android Runtime being written in Rust, and that seems all Rust is able to provide, by-proxy uses

Still waiting for something like Kubernetes for Rust to really push the industry forward, so far, no bueno

> Yet is clearly an unstable (high maintenance) collective mental state. It is predicated on active opression. The stable ground state is fundamentally egalitarian. Almost by definition

I would not be able to come to this conclusion based on my experiences. Humans are very tribal animals, and it takes a lot of work to work towards egalitarianism. You can even see it in children, where they form “cliques”, and engage in bullying, even amongst siblings.

Not that it is inevitable that humans will “otherise” other humans to the level that they are OK with keeping them as slaves, but there is a large spectrum of ordering in probably all of our minds, as opposed to viewing everyone as the same.
Why not? Plenty of businesses like Sonoff do just that. In fact it's a selling point for a lot of them.
Going to give everyone some frank advice.

Instagram and TikTok - Delete this nonsense if you have any self respect. Why would you, a grown adult, be engaging with a platform where people share information via frivolous pictures and video clips.

Facebook - Yes you should have a Facebook account, and you should use it to stay in touch and up to date with friends and family. You should log in every few days and “like” some posts, give people a little bit of validation which they’ll appreciate. Occasionally post a holiday snap or a funny anecdote.

Whatsapp - women probably should not join whatsapp groups (except immediate family), but it is a good medium for banter among male friends.

Twitter - It’s reasonable to spend a lot of time reading Twitter, given the quality of content and its primacy in global discourse. You must disable “media preview” so that it’s text-only by default. Your account should be anonymous, or at least, not obviously associated with your real name and real identity, given that it’s public by default. In general it’s a mistake to become too invested in your online persona - I suspect most social media addicts make this mistake. Contribute sparingly. Forget “the algorithm” - carefully curate your feed and unfollow anyone with a bad signal-to-noise ratio, or who tweets excessively.
I agree with your statement in some sense, but still ultimately disagree.

There are always going to be people who have bad things happen as a result of being misinformed, as much as there are always going to be failsafes that yet still fail.

In both cases, more and better education is a positive force.
In the US, I think most (all?) retail price "fixing" got thrown out many decades ago. But new books mostly sold at list price pretty much until Amazon came along. There were exceptions. Some places had discounts on current hardcover bestsellers. And there was one place in Cambridge that was unusual for having pretty much across the board 15% or so discounts.

Ordering books not in stock also wasn't possible at a lot of stores and, when you could, it often took many weeks.
> During the pandemic, some shopping centers in my area started to measure wrist temperatures.

They were supposed to measure your forehead temperature with that infrared thermometer. But due to some insane rumor spread around the net about these thermometers somehow hurting the pineal gland or something like that, everyone starting measuring on the wrist, even though it's way less accurate.
It doesn't matter if the solutions exist if engineers don't think for themselves. The last project I worked on was about a dozen or so forms and the code base was thousands of lines of react/redux boilerplate nightmare. That project didn't need to be an SPA, and it could have been built much simpler. Heck it could have been hundreds of lines with jquery & node/express.

I love this quote and I think its apt here, “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”
In this setup we want to be able to decode a cipherstream with holes into a plainstream with holes. This is very much possible with CTR-MAC, as long as MAC is done on some finitely-sized segments.

Yup - there are actually net negative contributors that simply removing would cause in an increase in team output.

Whether it be rate of damage to codebase, manual interventions in prod, hurting morale, time suck in meetings/idle chitchat, causing drama with stakeholders that needs to be triaged, etc.

They are rare, but they happen, and the process of onboarding, feedback, giving a chance, documenting, and off boarding can take a year.
The same problem we have with other networks of trust: Signing works alright if you already know the people you expect messages from (but in that case, it's also no better than the invite-only social networks the OP talked about).

However, the real problem is getting to know new people or vetting messages from people you don't know. In the future the OP sketched, you can never be sure that an interesting new person isn't actually a bot. Knowing the public key of that person won't solve that problem.

I don't get that remark either. First, it's snarky, and second, the C handbook is from 1978. Only a small number of Unix(TM) systems had C compilers at that point. And third: what does configured even mean in this context?

Failure to create and enforce laws that prevent human trafficking fall squarely on government, and subsequently the people who choose cost as the main priority when purchasing a product or service and then vote for representatives that ensure cheap goods continue to flow.

Blaming “the market” is similar to not taking responsibility for climate change by demanding government action and changing your own habits.

Until we look in the mirror, there can be no change or progress.

Ask HN: Which online courses and books can provide real value to a programmer?
The courses or books shouldn't necessarily be about programming or CS. They can be from math, bio or any other domain.

While I personally haven't seen a lot of vietnamese permanently move back there I met plenty of people who heavily invested in business of their relatives who still live in Vietnam. Starting any offline business is simply 20-50x times cheaper than in US so it make sense.

Though I doubt many people will return to live in Vietnamafter living in western countries. Of course many people come to visit, but even with living being so cheap quality of life is still too far from US or any of european countries.

Your math is wrong. That said, economists differentiate between nominal and real growth. GDP reports growth that has already been adjusted for inflation. It represents an actual increase in more goods and services produced.
