My advice would be to either find projects/things you really enjoy & are excited to work on, or try streaming your adventures and side projects on Twitch in the Software & Game Dev category. Ideally, both!

This has helped me to stay active working on things and learning stuff outside of my work hours.

I'll risk looking like I'm shamelessly self promoting myself, but here's my stream for an example of how you might go about it:

https://www.twitch.tv/aroreretini

I've been doing this for 5 years now and have met a small but wonderful bunch of folks, learnt a large amount across several different disciplines and generally enjoyed it all thoroughly.

Note, for me and others like me, the goal isn't to 'blow up' or get big on Twitch or elsewhere, but rather just to plod along learning & building in public as a means to stay active and focused.

If you'd like to explore this kind of thing, feel free to fire me a DM or email.

Good luck!
I’d just like to say that “I did some crash testing in a previous life” makes it sound like maybe you were on the receiving end of it. :D
Yeah but women get catcalled sometimes so it evens out.
I agree, the support crew often is just part of a support loop of doom. No escalation paths.

You have to have connections on twitter or reach out to corporate after failing to resolve the issue. Its designed to eat up your time while providing no resolution.

You have to be big enough to get any kind of attention from someone that doesn't want to see egg on face in the news, but in general for email, this is not much of a concern.
If you're coding for someone else, rather than coding for yourself, why is this a trap?

It might be satisfying to deliver a hyper-optimized end product, using optimal algorithms everywhere, with everything tuned so that it delivers the maximum performance with the minimum resource usage. But is that what your customer is paying for? Or are they paying for a website that works well, and is operational at the end of the month?

Not everything has to be a work of high art. Pop art is fine too.
With Heroku, I never had to think about expiring certificates. With FlyIO, my app was down for 4 hours and I only new about it because of 3rd party uptime monitoring.

Here are a few support issues with this problem:

I’m interested in it for a hybrid VR-AR for flight sim cockpits. The Varjo Aero is used for this, allowing you to build a cockpit replica and interact with it via pass thru but still using VR for outside the cockpit.
The Terraform provider was a one off project from the community. We haven't really focused on it in earnest yet, unfortunately. We ended up sponsoring it, but until we get Fly apps off Nomad I don't think we'll have the best terraform story.
It would be neat if it COULD do those things, though, maybe by hitting something closer to wolfram alpha when it determ... wait

Yeah you have a point. It does boldly claim that it's good at code, though I find a lot more utility just searching github and gists.

...or their primary job has being dealing with a complex database setup and hasn't had to juggle that along with intensive application design.

Count me as someone who confidently doesn't know how to run a database and doesn't really care to. At least not at a level where someone would hire me to do it in production.
"Most analyses"?

United Healthcare, the largest US insurer, has more members than the entire population of Canada. Why don't they get better drug prices than Canada?

I search for the settlement and verify that there’s a real chain of news stories around it.

Best to date was the Apple small developer settlement that paid out $8k. Previous was the Google/Apple non-compete settlement.

I’ve never bothered with the consumer-focused ones. There are always so many class members you’re lucky to get a couple bucks - as in the OP’s case.
Yep! This is why, despite not being an Android user, I’m (speculatively) happy to see Google kind of kick-starting the software ecosystem. Hopefully that’ll lead to higher performance hardware, and it’ll eventually hit the point where we want to run proper desktop Linux on it.

Still some potential pitfalls, hopefully we won’t get super locked down hardware (I’m under the impression that that’s a bit of a problem in the phone universe).
No, ordinary Fly apps (what we call v1 apps) are managed by nomad. They don't scale to zero. You can create a machine based app and it'll scale to zero just fine, but you lose most of the magic of `fly deploy` right now.
I had seen it on Hacker News in the past, and so I ended up buying a Sony A80CJ 65". The CJ vs the J is that the CJ is the CostCo model. It has three differences, as far as I am aware:

1. CostCo models have 3-year manufacturer warranty instead of 1 year. (mine bundled coverage through AllState to make it 5 years warranty total)

2. CostCo models have a physical switch for the built-in microphone (used for Google Assistant, Alexa, and tuning audio for the built-in speakers) to turn it off. Mine is turned off and left off out of the box. [2]

3. In the fine print on superscript 2 in the spec sheet[1]: "Use of TV without connecting to a Google account allows only basic TV features and certain apps."

So #3 there, basically means if you don't accept the T&Cs and connect the TV to the Internet it acts like a dumb display with just support for HDMI, etc inputs. I am using mine with an Xbox Series X connected to it and that's how I watch Netflix, as an example, or play games with Game Pass. The TV itself has never had an Internet connection, and all /display/ features work perfectly fine, it just doesn't do anything "smart" in basic mode. In basic mode it basically reverts to a dumb TV. It also doesn't nag you after you make a choice.

This differs from the non-CostCo models, which in some instances /force/ you to connect to the Internet and accept the T&Cs within some time frame in order to be useable. As far as I am aware, CostCo has agreements with most manufacturers to produce CostCo specific SKUs and always enforces points #2 and #3 for these TVs. It's the primary reason I bought my TV through CostCo.

That's an extremely limited view of passthrough. Passthrough will be most useful for spatial applications like telepresence, in-situ learning, modeling and creation, and visualization, where remaining present and aware of your surroundings is preferable to the undesirable immersion of VR. The bet here is that useful interactions with virtual objects and interfaces don't benefit from disorienting virtual environments.

For an example of this on Quest Pro, check out Wooorld. It's a fun hangout app and is arguably a much better experience in passthrough.
This is a weird sort of violence. He seems to be equating violence with influence. The woman who taught me to read fed her identity and was a great aid in developing my own identity. There is no hostility or harm to be found in this, nor was there any force. McLuhan seems to be defining the violence out of violence and leaving something else for which the ideas associated with violence (force, harm, hostility, hatred) are absent. What's the use of that? Violence is a way to influence identity, but influence that creates identity is not necessarily violent. To attach the negatives associated with violence to creating one's own identity and those of others sounds nilist.
The thing is that I like my job. It is rewarding, pay is good, etc etc. And I feel due to my curiosity, eagerness for learning, etc etc, whatever CS job I do, the result is gonna be the same. Not much mental energy left at the end of the day. I want to keep my job but at the same time have mental energy left for side interests. But don't know how.

Back in my youth, I had a friend on AIM who excessively typed “lol”. We ended up talking on the phone once and I was surprised to learn that (a) she actually did laugh out loud approximately that frequently and (b) it was more of a nervous giggle, and not so much a full-throated laugh.
(Hey, friend. I meant this as a lighthearted take. I have no power to write this into law)

I don’t think at all anyone should do this cheaply haha. And imagine if the CLO told the board the other C-suite were squirreling secrets away. And individuals can always be indicted for fraud
This seems maybe a little unserious? People enter the drivers seats of unfamiliar cars, what, maybe two or three orders of magnitude more often than Tesla makes significant changes to the in-car UI (twice in the last ~6 years or thereabouts).

Do you express similar concerns over the serious safety issues in the human factors interaction involved in defrost actuation on rental cars?

There's a big difference here. A lot of very good designers saw a way to cash in on the emerging RISC-V market. Chip designers saw the potential and joined stealth startups where they could go from $400k per year to many millions. This potential payout poached a LOT of the best designers from big-name design companies.

I think there's a lot of potential here and probably a bit less over-promising than you'd get from companies without such experienced design talent.
They certainly aren’t. That’s what FDIC / Reg E / Reg NMS and co are for. US financial regulation is pretty customer friendly.
I really do appreciate it. Is there any way Fly could detect this? I know geo IP isn’t perfect but it seems like it could help you track this stuff by allowing you to compare edge location to the users location.
CF is my DNS. Not sure if I had the proxy enabled. I was able to re-configure everything and it started working. I made a reminder to check around the 65 day mark to see if it successfully renews.

I suspect what may have caused the issue is I have multiple fly hosts on subdomains, but each subdomain had a wildcard certificate against the root (*.example.com).
So it seems the 'machine' is the equiv of AWSs EC2? I think I would only save $5~ by not having to have HAProxy (cos AWS LB is exensive) but I would need to manage PG myself which seems like a hassle for a hobby project.
Fly is great. I know the Fly team has an aversion to it but I really just wish they would hire some database folks and take on managed Postgres. I'm already running 8+ apps on there and it would be the peace of mind needed to move the rest across… one day.

I wonder if the author should extend the 90-day disclosure window to account for this red tape.
That’s not possible because the same service doesn’t exist anymore.

If you want cheap telephony, get cheap voip telephony. It’s almost free.
This is modeled really well by personality type theory. For example, you can model groups with two broad systems of feeling: Interpersonal relating, energy, and signaling vs. Personal values/interests-focus, uniqueness, & authenticity.

You are demonstrating the latter, describing in an authentic way how you are bored/disinterested by the former. People in the same group usually have a "bad boy" side that comes out if it's dragged too much by the interpersonally-smooth camp.

Note that there are attendant blind spots, e.g. diplomatic language & technique, which is sometimes really wise to use, is generally found more in the first group than in the second. Also, one might feel pressure from a third party to act inauthentically, and tow a party line, and then later explode in some inappropriate way because hey--that's BS!

Not everybody likes to hear about it, but a great way to succeed in a world of people on both sides of this divide is to find a way to use the best of both sides when appropriate for the situation. Preferably planning those moves when some patience is available...
This is basically how things used to work. The drawback is that young people with no credit can't build credit easily. You'd be disproportionately favoring those familial lineages with assets and losing out on a huge potential customer pool.

With better centralized data it's possible to having something of a win-win where banks get more customers and people can bootstrap their own lending reputation without having the last name "Jones".

Of course there's the tradeoff that you have to trust an institution to be a good steward of that data...
The "problem" with VR is that it doesn't yet have the mass market appeal of traditional consoles or PC gaming. For higher-end VR gaming, that's mostly because the hardware is (as you say) quite expensive and compromised in various ways; however, it's an absolute game-changer for some people, e.g. flight and space sim players, for whom none of the issues you've raised are relevant. For lower-end stuff, I imagine it's facing the same old problem of trying to market a new product category to consumers who don't really understand or care.

I can't really speak to what Meta's doing, but as somebody who pre-ordered a Vive at launch and has had some of my most compelling gaming experiences ever in VR, I think you should recognize that you aren't really in the target market for higher-end VR gaming. The absolute size of that market is certainly a concern for the continued development of VR tech, but so far it seems to be doing alright as a relatively niche gaming sector (see: the Valve Index).

> somehow bring down the cost so two headsets cost about as much as a current generation console

You can get an Oculus Quest 2 for $400 + tax.

What made it click for me is "Python packaging" means "how to install everything that I want to use from Python."

I wouldn't have considered "how to get BLAS onto a system" to be a "Python packaging" issue, but for people who want to rely on it via scipy/numpy/whatever, it is.

Right — but it won’t learn those thousands of such rules, which in collection lead to “common sense” about the world, if it has no access to those, ie, if it’s disembodied.
> Whether that is possible practically is another question.

Well it's sort of the key question though right?

The incentives of the credit reporting agencies are fundamentally unbalanced because the average consumer has no meaningful input into their behavior.

If could practically avoid having my information sent to bad actors they would be incentivized to treat my data with care.

This is an example of where good government regulation can be introduced (giving consumers the option to opt out) rather than what I would consider bad government regulation (trying to specify how the companies should behave directly).

I believe in the free market but I also understand that there are cases where incentives are incorrectly balanced and we need a neutral party to make sure all incentives are properly accounted for.
I was unaware of this, as I haven't had "TV" service in more than a decade. In basic mode, connected to HDMI, it allows for all display features. Good information, and a good thing for folks to consider if they intend to actually use TV directly.
I was recently in a settlement for something like $4 and looked into it.

My take is basically that in many class action suits there's limited proof of wrongdoing. So it might not make it to court, and if it did make it to court it might be thrown out. Companies pay out since they aren't sure either, but not for the full amount. The lawyers are investing in a suit with unstable ground.

Because it's so wishy-washy there just isn't much money in it, and in consequence the payouts are limited.

So I'm not sure there's a better way to do it. I do wish the lawyers were more upfront about the above in their messaging to class members (like, "we don't have enough definite evidence to get a conviction, but enough that it's risky for the company, so we can settle for a lower amount") as well as how much it will actually mean per individual, what consequences are likely for the company if the suit succeeds, etc.

Not a lawyer (obviously) so if anyone has better info I'd be interested.
I'm amazed that there was an episode of a popular TV drama aired that had such a detailed puzzle in it.

Taking this thread's advice, I started self-hosting on flyio and have only seen 1 timeout in ~2 months.
It's not about copying what HNers do or living up to others' expectations. I actually have CS-related interests like learning haskell or doing side projects. Some HNers seem to be successfully doing it. I can't. So I was wondering how they manage it.

If you don't have any mental energy left that's your body telling you to rest. Best to take that advice. Meet some friends, spent some time with family, have a nice cold glass of beer, that sort of thing. Dial down work if you want more time for side projects.

The main difference to consumers is that less apps will be available since they haven't been ported to RISC-V
Then it would probably be frozen in time as Lua 1.0 without all of the breaking improvements that have happened since then

Lua is an embedded language and I think most users who want compatibility run or forked Lua 5.1, which is from 2006

It’s not clear to me that Lua in 1995 was better than JavaScript in 1995
Honestly? I wait for this to happen, preferably with a forced redirect to goatse.cx. THAT would improve the things.

The idea that a compiler should just silently omit anything that it’s pretty sure won’t be needed is one of the most bafflingly daft decisions I’ve ever encountered.

If a supplier sent you out-of-spec parts because they didn’t think your spec was actually important, you’d call them fraudulent, not clever.

What operations does it require the OTPs for? Generally anyone can do an ACH withdrawal from your account and the bank won’t ask you about it until afterwards. This is dealt with by other legal frameworks but you could certainly call it insecure even if they need 4 factors to let you see your account balance.
Probably not quite what you're looking for but perhaps along the right lines (and it looks like they've added some products and maybe features)

The gist of it is Traefik is a reverse proxy that learns about your containers via configuration in the container only, so you can stand up additional services without rebooting everything. Still config heavy, but maybe less than some other approaches.

Half Life: Alyx is the killer VR app.

It's so good that it ruined VR for me entirely. I can't play any other VR games, they all just feel like tech demos or shoddy old Unity asset flips.

It's scary good and immersive. Try it, it will blow you away.
Just like many of the non-profits who claim they are there to help the disadvantaged but act more like a cash cow for upper management and of course fight tooth and nail against any reform that would seek a different solution that incidentally de-emphasizes them.
No it’s not. I have a history of RSI and wouldn’t even consider an editor without VIM bindings, regardless of the OS.
