Wow, thanks! That's the one. Funny how memory drift made it different in my head...but it has been many years.

How did you find that?

Now if someone can figure out the source, that would be even more amazing.

I'm building an attendance management app - https://tendee.co

I had a few itches to scratch:

- one off events now that fewer people are on facebook;

- planning in advance for subs in team sports;

- some work events have max capacity, so building out a wait-list

It's been a good way to play around and learn some tech I've been meaning to get around to, like NextJS and PrismaDB, but I kinda regret not giving Remix a shot.

More like the whole chimp troupe will agree that chimps can't control the path of a storm. With such problems there is no pressure on the forecaster.

But the moment one chimp stands up and says no no I can, and a large enough group is persuaded(even if its false), the game changes. Forcaster will start behaving differently. They aren't machines. They are chimps.

Experts Weigh In: Wage Theft versus Time Theft
Hey,

I have struggled with loss of motivation many times. I worked in boring medium to big sized companies to the point where I felt I had done it all, knew it all, wasn’t excited, wasn’t learning anything new.

I think a lot about what Francis Ford Coppola said about Apocalypse Now, which was an awful nightmare movie to shoot. He said he was glad he did it because he learned so much from it.

If you aren’t learning a lot, something is wrong.

Honestly, my experience was that if I stopped learning I could feel myself begin to deteriorate mentally. The boredom and lack of stimulation if it has years to work on you will destroy you. You just lost your dynamism and vitality.

My solution was to take on more risks.

You sound like you have eliminated all risk from your life. That is the natural thing to do, everyone wants to be risk free. The problem is it kills you:

Where is the excitement, the fire under your ass. If you carve out this lovely cozy little niche where you can never lose. It is the most natural thing to do.

But once you remove all risk, you start to die.

You have to bring risk back into your life. Maybe not 50-90%. But 10-15% risk.

There must be some risk or you won’t find any meaning.
I’d have liked to see him succeed with the steel on steel option. I think he just needed multiple drive wheels to distribute the normal force more, and a bin holder over the locomotive. The route seemed rather flat. He might have also been handicapped by not having it entirely on rail, trains have low rolling resistance because of steel on steel but in some spots, he had worse of both worlds, driving on steel and rolling on pavement.

Getting into the self-balancing state with a standard wheeled trashcan would require a large initial torque, more than enough to tip over the trashcan. There's no "moving slowly" when that's involved... either the control algorithm and motor works correctly, or there's trash all over the driveway.

If you built a completely custom trash can with the wheels in the center and a very small amount of ground clearance when balanced, you could drastically reduce the initial torque required, but at that point, concerns about needing to move slowly would probably be a lot less anyways since this is being fully engineered at that point, not just an attempt at a quick hack.
Yes, but "things that pay best" and "sustainable computing" are often in disagreement. Nothing wrong with chasing the money, but you should be honest: "Because I wanted to earn more money, I decided to use locked-down cloud-based devices. This means my computing is not really sustainable, and sometimes required putting smartphone up the mast, but I need to pay port fees and buy fuel for my boat"

And yes, there are all sorts of exciting things in Qt and Java world, but you don't have to use them. We currently build some tools on Qt 5.9 (2017) and feel no pressure to upgrade at all. And my computer still has Qt 4.8 available (including dev headers) from 2011, which I assume still works. Which is great, I agree.

technically correct, but a range of more than an order of magnitude makes it hard to use.
Unlikely to be irate either.
Not having read the much more authoritative response above (or any such), I'll foolishly offer the one fact about trees I recall from boy scouts or outdoor school:

The core of a tree is much less alive than the bark—so much less, in fact, that if you walk in a circle around a tree scraping off a thin strip of bark and make sure to stop where you started, the tree will die.

Having googled this just to be sure, I also learned that trees can only lose up to about a quarter of a circumference of bark (in the fashion describe above) before facing mortal peril.
I don't think they're actually trying to suppress wages. It sounds like they're just willing to do whatever it takes to get Steve Jobs to stop yelling at them and not thinking through the consequences.
Got it makes sense. I believe I was thrown off by the sentence "this is technically an unconfirmed candidate aurora," which is redundant if candidate really means (essentially) unconfirmed.
It’s probably because advertisers demand that their ads are not placed on “bad” content. By limiting ads to 1000+ subscriber channels, it’s much more likely the content isn’t in violation of the YouTube rules.
Both Chrome and Safari were based on WebKit (which itself started as a fork of KDE's KHTML and KJS libraries), which a lot of other vendors use too.

Although Chrome eventually diverged years later with the development of Blink, Chrome was the result of a multi-company, industry-wide unification strategy on WebKit, the core of Safari.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit

>WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE, and has since been further developed by KDE contributors, Apple, Google, Nokia, Bitstream, BlackBerry, Sony, Igalia, and others. WebKit supports macOS, Windows, Linux, and various other Unix-like operating systems. On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome and the Opera web browser, under the name Blink.

I was one of the backers of this, and have had it for a couple weeks. The product is of extremely high quality and it's really fun. Happy to answer any questions.
An employer in the US can’t change a salary at will either. What either party can do if they are no longer satisfied with the working arrangement is propose a change to it, and subsequently choose to terminate the arrangement if they are not satisfied with the response of the other party.

Either party can propose basically any change they want, and terminate the arrangement any time they choose. What an employee “can do” is determined entirely by how much the market values their labor. I have proposed take it or leave it remuneration increases (as well as other changes to working conditions, such as location) to employers on many occasions, and they’ve nearly always been accepted.
One thing I feel is clicking for me this year is that of inelastic systems. Be it monetary systems or one’s life occupation. The name of the game is being elastic and rigidity is the end all. Unfortunately as we age ?and as systems age) rigidity seems to be the default path and it takes greater and greater power and aptitude to fight that.

One I’m working on still is the unfairness of life. I understand it is unfair down to the level of the cell but how to come to terms with that I still grapple with.
Appealing to authority is not a weak basis for an argument. It’s as if you don’t understand the role of expertise. Almost everything you know comes from knowledge discovered by experts. I suppose when you read a paper you don’t like sources being cited.

I didn’t uncharitably read what you wrote. You asked if I had a real argument to give because, apparently, you think getting knowledge/facts from an expert and citing said facts is not a real argument. The only reasonable interpretation of what you wrote is that you think citing an expert in their area of expertise is not a valid (“real”) arguement.
What I actually said is "most notable corporate clusterfuck of the year".

We don't know how it's actually going. Musk is a notorious BSer, and as a privately held company, they don't have to release actual numbers.

But Musk took a company that was doing just fine, made a weed-joke-priced offer, changed his mind, tried to BS and wriggle his way out of the deal, and grudgingly went through it when it became obvious a chancery court judge was likely to force him to buy it anyhow. With that alone it was probably the most notable corporate clusterfuck of the year.

And that's before the actual takeover, where he loaded it up with so much debt that -- and this is according to him -- it could very well be bankrupt in short order. He then flailed around with his amateur-league management dramatics for months in ways that if you somehow missed, you can Google. All while ignoring a much more valuable company that's the source of his wealth as its stock price plummeted by 70%.

If you think there's a more notable corporate clusterfuck in 2022, please do name it.
No kidding. That employee's resume could be reduced to one sentence:

"Sergey Brin and Steve Jobs got into a yelling match over me."

Obviously that's stretching the truth a bit but that would get a lot of attention pretty quickly. Maybe enough to skip the leetcode challenges.
i had no idea that canva did video as well as images. would you call it having all the basics or are there noticeable features missing compared to say Screenflow?
He would probably just make a cool lecture out of your mistake. ;)
Any "reasonable" "professional" judgement needs to take into account the financial situation of the individual, not the financial situation of others. If my salary was reduced by a little less than 1/3rd, I'd have a couple of hundred dollars left over each month after mandatory deductions, rent, and utilities. I'd effectively starve. And yet my salary would still be slightly above the national average salary.

This sort of reasonableness standard is why the spouses and children of very rich people get millions of dollars a year in alimony and child support.

This is interesting to read from the angle of personality dynamics.

People underestimate the sense of control that Jobs derived, not from being prophetic or smart, but from making things extremely personal and psychologically stifling for other people. (Musk works in the same way when he gets flustered or fearful.)

Jobs talked a lot about seeing the future, but his high-use "like/dislike switch" was really in control most of the time. It's a very emotional way of being.

Notice that Brin immediately metabolizes that type of communication as A-OK, and understandable:

> he made various veiled threats too though i am not inclined to hold them against him too much

> as he seemed beside himself (as eric would say).

This particular response shows off a strength which, while impressive in patience, openness to relationship dynamics, etc. is also in some respects similar to the type of person who stays in cults while all of their friends call it quits.

Brin likely sees his own strength in nuanced understanding rather than in control-focused decisiveness. It's a logical yin to Steve's yang. I wouldn't be surprised if he saw Steve as a promising or up-and-coming feelings-relater. I.e. "if he could just move past the explosions, which maybe I can help with by talking to him, he could be so expressive and creative" or something like that.

Brin is also a bit lower in conscientiousness and a lowered-boundaries person compared to a lot of techies in leadership, but he's also high-creative, high-expressive personality. This is more of a "therapeutic" type of person in general.

With an angry Steve Jobs in the room, this kind of person will get steamrolled 99% of the time, no matter the tech in question or the negotiation setup.

I believe Brin saw a lot to aspire to in Jobs' _upside_, but shared Jobs' blind spot for diplomacy and truly creative work at a higher level, and was unable to perceive a need to work in that way.

On Jobs' part, he was extremely lucky to grow up in a capitalistic society which sees $$$ as something it's happy to exchange for control of a given domain, along with a legend to go in the books of the great man theory. In terms of group values like leadership, what you'll find is a constant communication of vision backed by a huge amount of emotional control technique which is not quite so dynamic as it is whiny.

Thanks for posting this op!
>least developed public infrastructure

By which measure? Also, how is ireland any better in that regard, especially w.r.t infrastructure? Europe in general wouldn't necessarily have a better public infrastructure either, it's just that there is a lot more discussion about America and its issues (even in Europe). And I'm saying that as someone who is neither american nor European.

(Not to mention that ireland was almost a third world country until it started attracting capital with shady loopholes and lack of regulations compared to the US and Europe, which makes the comparison even weirder.)
Other than the alternatives mentioned here, one can also use well known headers that define API Methods which you can use for routing. No need to parse the entire request body just for routing.
I can see mapping CS to 1MB and DS, ES, and SS all to another 1MB for 2MB as moderately viable. This would make the system a Harvard Architecture instead of a von Neumann, with the escape hatch of segment prefixes.

It would be even more of a nightmare to program than the already janky segmented memory model we ended up with, so I'm happy IBM wisely decided to avoid it.
It’s negative for me because I don’t find much very interesting going on there. Very few of the Twitter posters I follow (mostly really anoraky military history stuff) have moved over, and the few that have aren’t posting nearly as much.
> despite the fact that both sides cannot have positive EV

Maybe for the thing insured, but dependencies can cause ripple effect costs which can be very high, so both sides can have positive EV when considering the whole (not just the insurance). I think you are assuming all transactions are zero-sum? Not something I know much about, so quite probably I just misunderstand your comment.
Yes, you have to trust the dependencies you use with Cargo.

Rust is not a sandbox language. Rust's safety is only for catching mistakes, not a defence against actively malicious code.

There are projects like https://lib.rs/cargo-crev and https://lib.rs/cargo-vet for tracking code reviews and verified-to-be-safe dependencies.

This is the classic platitude. I don't buy it - I do judge other people like that.
A hard truth is that truths that are difficult to arrive at will not be accepted and appreciated at popular online forums anyway. Worse, such conclusions will be criticized by people who have not put in the time and effort.

Moreover, the incentives for posting in most forums tends to have some sort of up voting mechanism. I find that many time it skews my thinking away from focusing on the boring obvious truth, and rather go on a "interestingness" journey and waste a lot of time.

However, the rare occasions when you find real fellow experts on the topic to discuss with, it is of great value and adds to one's existence and well being.
