That can be tricky. You should consider writing specifications for your work/role that:

- Are labeled with the name of the task: R&D; Solving Scaling

- Indicate what's improving over time and what the general workflow involves

- Show how you personally track that progress in a log or other methods

- Help you demonstrate that you are qualitatively improving the situation

(- Over time: Develop into some helpful metrics you can measure, as you make observations about these systems)

In such cases it usually helps to give reports in a linear narrative format. Other reports, e.g. quantitative reports on qualitative work, probably won't do your work justice for now. But that just means you use a different lens to examine or present the work.

If it's nothing of note, at the bare minimum it should be presented contextually as an organized part of a broader/longer narrative (even if you need to summarize the narrative).

Good luck.
Consider something like Gravity Sketch [0] as MR. You are designing a virtual object and it is useful to bring it into the real world to (a) collaborate on it with others in a shared workspace and (b) envision it within its real context. For example, you can design a chair and actually place it in a living room while you are working on it to see how it looks.

An AR example would be the classic overlay of text on a sign you are looking at with a version that is translated into your language.

In your worker co-op utopia, when say you envision the workers as the owners, how exactly does one change jobs then? Would I be forced to sell my ownership any/every time I wanted to leave a job? If not, wouldn't I just be an outside capitalist investor in my old company at that point? If yes, then am I bought out by the existing owners in an equitable manner? Or do new employees get my share of ownership? If they don't get my share of ownership, where does their share of ownership come from? Since companies will generally expand/contract at some point, how are ownership percentage changes handled there?

I have so many questions, but this should get us started.

> We don't even need to speculate. Ask married couples in the US who are eager to start a family what they are waiting for, and better financial security will be #1 on the list.

I understand this. My point was, almost every previous generation lived with objectively less financial security and a lower standard of living, and they still chose to have more children. We can't say people are more financially insecure than before. It just isn't true, on the whole. So, logically speaking, it must be true that those same concerns would often not have stopped this hypothetical couple's grandparents or great grandparents... Because they didn't. And I don't think you can say in good faith that they all had more children for monetary reasons like labor.

Look at first generation immigrants from third world countries. They tend to have a ton more kids than the existing populace, while at the same time being much poorer than average. Then, by the 2nd (or 3rd) generation, that birthrate difference disappears completely. I bet if you were to ask this group why, they would talk about financial insecurity. But that didn't stop their parents (or grandparents), despite being much more financially insecure.

So besides being more well off, what else changes between 1st and 3rd generation immigrants? Integration into the Western culture.

Do not worry too much on running ARM or x86-64 or mips binary on RISC-V.
You will soon start cross compiling the source code to the target architecture.
Running the binary of other arch to another is temporary solution.
Rather we need to think on what RISC-V enables us compared to ARM?

I also realized recently that PHP-FPM can just prefork a number of processes that equals N x (# of cores). And the OS scheduling and waking up threads on I/O is fast enough that you don't really need evented stuff at all. The advantages are that there are no memory leaks, there is isolation, one hung process doesn't bring down the whole server, and you don't have to rewrite your scripts to worry about sharing a process.

Having said that, if you want to eke out another 3x throughput improvement, then by all means, grab your OpenSwoole or ReactPHP or AMPHP and go to town. But PHP already has Fibers, while OpenSwoole still has coroutines. Oh yeah, and the try/catch in OpenSwoole is broken so good luck catching stuff.

You can in principle look up the case numbers that should be present in the court documents explaining the settlement. Alternatively you can look it up in a public database such as [1], (also a good way to find suits you qualify for, if you so desire).

It's getting quite hard to use basic search to find product review sites or software tutorials that aren't generated (usually badly) by some form of ML. If anything, it seems that people are turning away from search engines that uprank those. Until machine-written articles can be as nuanced and factually accurate (or at least as intriguingly opinionated for weird reasons) as something written by a human with hands-on experience of a product or software, I think they're no different from link mills in the pre-AI era. Which means search engines and sites like S.O. will have an increasing, not decreasing, financial interest in penalizing them.

That's the problem, isn't it? Recall my original comment:

Sure, we might get the Ohio DMV experience, or the Texas DMV experience. It's not as simple as "nationalize it", and it turns out swimmingly. Given that such a database would have to be federal, you can expect all the federal level politics (eg. fundings/defundings, gridlock, government shutdowns) that go along with it.

Im not American. I have no horse in the woke/conservative culture race.

Regardless of the problems in the US, neither the US nor any other country on the planet is facing a crisis like Japan. Not even the Western European countries that have a depopulation problem. The crisis in Japan is at a level that has never been seen since the start of early modern age.

> I hope you have the good sense to leave the Japanese people alone offline.

Its hard to interpret what that even means. This is a social studies topic in which people are discussing a major phenomenon. People cant stop discussing sciences for the fear of a certain demographic not wanting them discussing it.
I wonder exactly what equipment.

ADSL modems on the provider end, with the right software, could provide PSTN voice service-over-SIP too. It wouldn't add any substantial complexity, and could be one of those legacy services provided for the next 50 years...

Running the necessary SIP servers and billing systems wouldn't be burdensome if there weren't many real users. And if there were still lots of real users, there would be lots of revenue to pay for it.

I can only assume that BT doesn't have sufficient buying power to get modem manufacturers to include that in their software as a feature.
Humans have an inherent status quo bias and will perceive changing the status quo differently than maintaining the status quo. “Infrastructure” institutions, such as law and medicine, which depend on broad public support and the perception of neutrality, thus cannot be seen as actively seeking to change the status quo. Of course, they must also not be seen as resisting changes to the status quo from non-infrastructure sectors of society. Put differently, stable democracy calls for a well policed distinction between sectors of society that lobby for change, and sectors of society that are expected to neutrally referee, or provide expert guidance, without being agents of change themselves.

> Healthcare and college tuition are a much bigger problem in the USA than e.g. in Europe, and yet birth rates have fallen more in Europe.

Immigration is a huge confound here: for many years the U.S. had a younger population for that reason but since the rise of nativism that’s been changing.

Europe is also far from a monolith. I’d have to search for an article I read a few months back but they found that while healthcare is important the main differentiating factors were basically support for families with very young children and helping mothers go back to work. IIRC, France was doing pretty well because they had things like gap childcare so it’s not a question of, say, someone having to only consider jobs which allow them to be available to pick a 5 year old up every day at 3:30.

That goes back to the rational actor explanation: if women are marginally employed, as was often the case historically when many jobs excluded them outright, the tradeoff for having another child was lower. If women can have full careers, the desire to have more children is forced into conflict with the professional and financial rewards for alternatives (especially if it’s hard to later re-enter the workforce).
> This means the public key is never visible to an attacker until its balance is zero.

This part is just a tad questionable. To spend funds, you have to get the transaction recorded in a block. The usual way to do that is to broadcast it through the whole network until a miner picks it up.

So there's more than a bit of wiggle room between "I broadcast everything about this tx" until "the money is already spent and I'm safe.

It certainly does (in the usual case where the vast majority of the network and your connection to it is not under the attacker's control) limit the time an attacker has to compute, but it's not exactly pretty or reassuring.
No middle ground. This is the wrong side of history.

As AI progresses and improves over time, it seems like the expected trust one would put in this data will trend upward, maybe eventually to "I trust this data".

> Japan is doing better than most developed societies

As far as I know no country including the depopulating Western European countries face the demographic crisis that Japan faces. Its a crisis at a totally different level.
'Society' isn't a homogeneous thing. You describe common American society, but there are both subcultures in America as well as foreign cultures, who may or may not have the problem you describe.

> Or maybe this is a win for feminism? Women finally have work equality and so men don't have to work as hard anymore.

That stops working the moment young men from a subculture or from a foreign culture decide to work hard at taking over your society.

This isn't a moral judgement, or even a warning, just an analysis of what happens historically.
I used to work with a very senior engineer who is now retired who had a job which involved VERY LITTLE OR NO WORK.

This may or may not be your situation. He was one of the happiest people I have ever met.

I think you are feeling the default urge to look and feel productive all the time. I know exactly the feeling. It often looks bad and feels bad not to be hyper coding all the time.

The reality is that you may be, many many times, running some system which is mostly complete and your job is more of an insurance policy against the ultra bad things that happen if that system goes down.

And hyper coding is simply not required. And dealing with the psychological and social effects of knowing you are running at 10% capacity is overwhelming and hard to deal with.

It may be the case that this system may realistically involve very little work. Bug fixes and code enhancements. And that is actually fine as far as everyone around you is concerned, they may not even care. At all. As long as that system runs and you seem to be working.

So back to my friend who is now retired.

He had this down to a science. He focused on organizing discussions. So he would ask you to come to a meeting and ask you about some small detail of whatever he is doing. Then he would go: “wow, I hadn’t thought of that. That’s really something. Really great, let me think about that more.”

He would make everyone feel like a genius. Or host a group discussion with similar theme.

Then he would find some way to give you credit for your idea or suggestion. Everyone loved him.

After watching him operate for awhile it made me realize how much most engineers overvalue “genius intelligence” and being hyper industrious versus … seemingly very simple human to human interactions and the reality of how people think and work.

The reality is that the true performance criteria for you in the majority of environments is how much everyone around you likes you and thinks you are great. I realized that’s what this guy was doing after having +30 years of experience on me. And I assumed he knew something I didn’t about doing “deep career time.”

So if seeming more busy is your root problem, just realize that people:

1. Probably don’t care about what you are doing
2. Want to feel smart and consulted for their genius opinions
3. Given credit for something you are doing

If you do those three things, with the right people, your report is kind of irrelevant.

Does anyone care about this system? How does this system result in other people getting a promotion? If you figure that out, everyone will love you.

Your reports will read like; “had a discussion about best approach to unit tests with James and he suggested some important optimizations which I have made.”

You have scoped your problem as an “engineering” problem when it is realistically
More of a “peer psychology management” problem.

As long as you are likeable, that’s what really matters imo. If I understand the situation correctly.

Elon musk would probably hate this answer. He probably realistically has a ton of people doing exactly this working for him. And they are his favorite people because they want to hear his genius ideas.

It's interesting in that context that they seem to have met with a much bigger challenge than they expected in actually delivering on their AR/VR product.

It depends on what you want. VScode is more flexible and has a better remote experience, supports less out of the box but has more support through plugins. Clion handles refactoring better in my experience, and works well for most cmake based projects out of the box. If you need a different test system or build system though it can take some extra work to get it going. I find it worth it for the refactoring alone TBH, but the loss of remote development makes it less comfortable for day-to-day use.
That's a great way of putting it - the memorization becomes sustained through deeper understanding.

That's great. Many of us humans want to live in human society. What you're describing is a non-human society. If you're actually changing the genetics, it doesn't make sense to consider us the same species at that point. That's like dogs and wolves.

We don't even need to look back into history, right here today poorer regions have higher birth rates.

Ergo: A poorer society has more children. A richer society has fewer children.

It's a phenomenon that continues to flabbergast me.

Logic would seem to indicate that a more plentiful environment (a richer society) would lead to more children due to a surplus of life's necessities. But the reality is the exact opposite.

I don't know why this is the case, but it's flabbergasting. It almost seems like evolution strives to eliminate those that find too much success.
