It took me a while. I didn't get enough that I never have to work again, but I did get enough that I don't have to work for many years and I can set my own terms.

Try to get bored. You will probably find that what you are expericing now is PTSD from the grind. It took me half a year if not more to get back to a healthy state of mind and begin enjoying the days and looking forward to the future opportunities, not just looking forward to relief.

When you say you are not looking to do the startup grind again, that makes me think you are still decompressing.

I am happy to tell you are more open and candid version, feel free to reach out directly.

There are a truly massive number of RPGs out there with a wide variety of open licenses, especially the various Creative Commons licenses. The indie RPG sphere is massive and includes tabletop systems that range from "mild variations on the core D&D formula" to "almost fundamentally alien approaches to doing structured role-playing". D&D has long-standing brand recognition and cultural cachet, but it hasn't been the only player in this space for decades.
Just like overused Powerpoint transitions, I can see this getting old quickly.
I’ve seen women who could deadlift impressive amounts of weight (more than I was able to when I first started), and it definitely wasn’t sexual. But they had professional trainers that were actually giving them correct advice on how to properly lift without hurting themselves. As I mentioned in my original comment, it really depends on the gym and the type of patrons it attracts. In my experience, an LA Fitness (or something like it) might attract that hookup/tiktok/softporn crowd, but a private gym with a dedicated purpose wouldn’t tolerate that kind of thing.

The OGL was intended to be the GPL but for table top games.

Admittedly, the settings, characters, books and similar content were never part of the deal. It was more meant to be a common standard that everybody could build on.

But a common world that everybody could expand upon, would very quickly become a gigantic mess.
A small point:

A finitely bounded wave is better described as a wavelet.

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

Particles are the wavelets that when summed, give us the field as a whole, ie, particles are the wavelet transform of a field.
In terms of freedom specifically?
It's using the native resize property which is supported on Firefox Android but that doesn't help much if the tap target is too small.

onmousedown is used to change the transform property. It should still resize even if onmousedown isn't working.
One thing that's an absolute must: Put an ISO-8601 timestamp at the very beginning of every line in your log. No apache format, no "sun" or "jan" or other words. ISO only. Seriously.

If the timestamp is in a weird format (or, god help you, multiple formats since some libraries log shit in a special way), it'll be just about impossible to tell when things actually happened instead of just when the logging server saw them. In a perfect world these would be milliseconds apart, but lots of bad stuff can happen.

Your log-grepping-guy will thank you.
I'm silly. So many 'convertible' laptops cannot be used as tablet substitutes because they don't have volume or mute buttons at the edge of the enclosure when in tablet mode. I'd use one of these for volume up/down, mute, blanking the screen, locking the device, and authenticating. A bunch of "press this 3 times", etc. functions
Yes, I agree 100%. But until you get to the point where it's fully automated and running through CI/CD then you're constantly fighting new manual steps and ways to do things.

> And when they use it, they're likely to help maintain it when new situations need it.

Unfortunately, "likely" means "not always", which turns into something that is no longer a real source of truth, and you're back to people having their own undocumented way of doing things.

I've also found that it's easier to bikeshed when you're printing our commands for people to run. Either because they see the command more clearly or they have different dependencies installed.

It's still better than nothing, don't get me wrong. It's just become clear to me that if you don't build your "do-nothing script" with a real plan to get it automated (i.e. not just a dream that "we'll automate this one day") then it will quickly rot.

Yes, there are all kinds of tasks where the appropriate solution is to use a DNN for much of the learning (either directly learning the correlations or as transfer learning from some large-data self-supervised task) and then, once you have the results of that DNN inference, work with these methods - apply PCA for interpreting the resulting vector, or to separate out specific dimensions to expose them for adjustment in some generative task; or perhaps the best way for the final decision is a kNN on top of the DNN output, etc.
WotC CEO and president Cynthia Williams was on the record as saying that the DnD brand is under monetized. https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/roleplaying-game/news...

Hasbro CEO, also the former WoTC CEO, has ramped up monetization of the Magic the Gathering brand significantly in recent years, partly at the expense of cashing in on the secondary market.

WoTC choking the OGL is consistent with them looking to pump up their profits.
I referred to [1], thanks I have corrected GP.
It's a really nice place. My anegdote from being there in 2012 is that we reached a part that was kind of closed off and walked on a concrete wall or something. There was a large space below, and a small lizard crossed our path and I looked down and saw something that resembled a komodo dragon about 25 meters away from us. I casually mentioned to my wife without wanting to panic, oh let's go back and not get in trouble with that thing, and she laughed at me because she thought I was scared of the tiny lizard. Then she almost freaked out.
We had a Nespresso for years and it was great. We felt guilty, but the pods were tactile and beautiful and the coffee was fine. Eventually we moved on to a bean to cup machine with all sorts of complicated settings. That was great too, and has never stopped working. I’ve had an Aeropress for years but eventually I realised I’d just skip having coffee because I couldn’t be arsed grinding beans and faffing and then washing it up every time. I do think having little physical rituals in life is important, especially when they break you out of the monotony of work etc. But also life is short and I like things that work well. My response to a broken coffee machine will always be to get a better coffee machine, not a worse one.
I feel happier reading a book. I also feel relieved when I open a book. I've been wondering why this is and I have a theory.

The information on the internet is unbounded. You know this, you are aware even if subliminally, no matter how you control your browser by blocking ads, pop ups etc. An unbounded information horizon is destabilizing. There is always more (possibly better) information a click away. It's hard to justify keeping attention on just one article. I even read a paper newspaper article with more attention than the same article online.

Of course pop ups, ads, the incredible commodification of attention, has made this much worse, but the problem is inherent to the internet.

When I open a book, there are two covers, marking beginning and end. It's awesome. In between is a place for deep attention.

There have been books that have enriched my life. It's deep focus, not shallow scanning. I think there is something soul crushing about the shallow attention we are left with after years on the job. (Slack & Teams are part of the problem.)
Why not? Are they not part of the rest of the world?
There are lots of optical design books out there. IIRC, most follow the approach of Warren Smith's classic: "Modern Optical Engineering" in starting out from simple paraxial ray tracing, where sin(x)≈x in radians, and advance from there. If you have some specific topics to learn, you might find them in separate texts, such as Reflective Optics, by Dietrich Korsch (technical) or others.

There are several issues with that comic:

1. In finite time, it is not possible for a human to create an infinite row of rocks.

2. The academic paper for Rule 110 describes it as "weakly universal" rather than Turing-complete because it depends on an infinite pattern.

3. The rocks act as RAM, not the CPU. The human is applying the rules. The human is the CPU.

In the Tetris paper, the agent is just a TAS recording while Tetris acts as RAM and the CPU.
Interesting point; I'm not sure if we agree or not.

While I've been very fortunate to have been able to pursue and get training in a variety of activities considered high-risk, I'm amazed at how often it applies to ordinary situations. Plus, an awful lot of ordinary life is much higher-risk than people think.

We don't need extensive experience in sports or motorsports to understand that the difference between wearing a helmet or not in even a stupid little fall where your head hits something hard is the difference between "damn, I scratched my helmet" and your family organizing your funeral. This applies to everyone, and yet it is only this generation that is normalizing wearing helmets on bicycles, etc., and people still vociferously fight motorcycle helmet laws despite mountains of statistics of higher severe injury and death rates among non-helmeted motorcyclists vs. people who wear gear.

While it is ordinary for most people to not only not understand epidemiology and statistics, a significant portion also willfully ignore the advice of those who do. Just because this significant portion exists, should we no longer expect people to either understand something or at least respect those who do?

Most particularly, humans are obviously capable of understanding the difference between getting away with relying on Pure Dumb Luck vs applying knowledge, skill, technology, and attention to managing risk.

Yet, just as obviously, MOST people haven't got a clue and consistently engage in foolish risks, and get injured or dead as a result, whether we're talking about YouTube idiots, people going to COVID parties, or in massive drinking binges, and nevermind understanding anything about engineering risk building bridges, aircraft, or whatever.

It seems an obvious line to draw at understanding risk between using skill/knowledge/tech/attention vs using Pure Dumb Luck that the latter suck at risk management, and objectively most people are in the latter group. Moreover, I'd say more people are in this latter group, and the consequences are more serious, than in other fields, such as saying "most people suck at proper grammar".

What am I missing?
As the quality of the centralized hoozywhatsits continues to decline, I expect demand for decentralized hoozywhatsits will increase, given that they're harder to parasitize.

I agree that it shouldn't be a mandate though. It would be enough to mandate that the Up/down speeds both appear on the promotional material in the same font size.
Well that might be an assumption that it will never be used. Maybe if people had it they would use it?

But also I'm interested in if/whether this builds infrastructure resilience as well.

Would be interesting to see a well-thought cost/benefit analysis there. In America at least given that every ISP without exception is a giant piece of crap, mandating them to do things I'm going to generally approve of, especially if ISPs would be against it since I don't trust them whatsoever.

If you are curious, just some of them:

- UIs that want minimal visual thrashing in "user time" (wall clock time)

- Databases and B-Trees and other storage with primary key indexes/clusters that offer slightly better writes/clustering for "roughly but not necessarily exactly in order insertions": key/value stores, document databases, SQL databases

Wall clock time is plenty of time for a UI to rely on a partial ordering.

Databases are generally designed for arbitrary order insertions, it's just common that they are most optimized/efficient for "roughly in-order". A partial order is generally good enough to opt-in to most of the optimizations/efficiencies and reduce worst cases, especially if the "out-of-order" insertions occur below wall clock time and things like journaling-based transaction semantics versus competing with clustered inserts, reindexing scanners/services, and so forth.

More to the point, Carmack was comfortable - had a house and was able to put food on the table for his loved ones - without being paid back. It's possible that, contrary to what that tweet says, Carmack demanded (his) money (back). By Western measures, however, he's still comfortable without being paid back.

Quite the opposite, I at least enjoy reading both books and blogs. But I will agree that I'm starting to notice books getting more popular. My friend has almost ditched her phone and is spending her free time mostly by reading books.
That is what Wotc is trying to do, yes. They are trying to post-facto invalidate 1.0a after 20+ years.

The software equivalent would be if the FSF found some sneaky legalese, and came out with a hostile GPL 5 and simultaneously invalidated all previous versions of the GPL. Thus rendering everyone pre-v5 unable to publish going forward, with the only recourse to “upgrade” to the new version.

It’s sick, and likely not legal, but in the D&D example Hasbro have a much bigger legal team than the people they are trying to bully. So the threat of a potentially expensive lawsuit to force small fish into a legally dubious license.

Watching some mariners on youtube [1] and they take a pretty dim view on the idea of ghost ships, except in certain short haul scenarios. They cite that almost all of the maintenance takes place continuously while the ship is underway. While automation may reduce the bridge crew, until there are cheap robots that can perform all maintenance tasks - from overhauling engines, maintaining equipment, painting everything to protect from marine air, troubleshooting reefer units, to inspecting internal voids, not to mention routine tasks (docking, cargo operations), and emergency tasks (firefighting, damage control) - there's always going to be a decent number on board.

If you're feeling a lack of challenge, there are pursuits which are unlike the tech world in that progress is very gradual (after all, when you are doing it as avocation, it is a feature, not a bug, that you are unlikely to top out in your remaining actuarial lifetime)

I've now easily 4k+ hours into a hobby I share with my spouse (20k+) yet we continue to improve, both in technique and in understanding. Had we not had this in common, I could imagine music (until death) or dance (as permitted by health) might have played similar roles in my life.

A friend podiumed at the Olympics; he now continues his sport as a secondary hobby, and considers his life work to be painting. (judging by one of his professional associations, taking up various arts is not uncommon among former olympic athletes)

Lenovo X1 Nano vs. X1 Carbon
tl;dr: don't get the Nano unless you REALLY take advantage of the smaller/lighter form factor.

Just in case anyone's interested, I switched from a 2019 Carbon to a current-gen Nano a few months back. Here are my impressions. I use Arch, btw.

Overall, the Nano is worse at everything - except being nano. It is significantly lighter (just under 1kg instead of 1.3kg for the Carbon) and feels more like the original MacBook Air in form factor, although it's not visually as thin as the tapered MBA of old.

Things that are worse:

- Speakers: yes, I'm an imbecile and listen to music on laptop speakers. The old Carbon had great speakers. This one drones and vibrates a lot when the bass is too loud.

- Keyboard: still probably among the best out there, but the keys feel significantly less smooth and pleasant than the Carbon. I originally thought I just had to "break it in" but it hasn't changed in a few months now. I heard they tried going thinner in they keys, hope they don't fall into the same trap as Apple and ruin all keyboards for 5 years :( I seem to regularly get 10-20 WPM less than I did on my Carbon.

- Battery: oh boy. This thing gets HALF the battery run time my Carbon got, which wasn't great to begin with (topped it out at 8h real-world once). I'm displaying the current watt usage in the sway bar and whereas the (old) Carbon would idle at around 2-3W, this one tends to idle around 7-9W (!). If I disconnect wifi, stop all services, set the brightness to 1%, and so on I'll eventually get it to 3-4W, still way worse than what the Carbon would get routinely. I suspect that Intel tuned the new chips to be faster to compete with Apple and AMD chips, and that they sacrificed battery life. Ugh.

- It runs a lot hotter and the fan comes on more often. On the old Carbon, it never ever got hot and it never ever ran the fan. I don't usually do intense things, maybe play an old retro game or compile something. The Nano's fan comes on all the time. This might be a combination of new Intel chip and smaller (therefore less thermal/cooling capable) form factor.

- In terms of ergonomics, it's only a 13" instead of a 14", but it feels like I have to look down significantly more, which is more uncomfortable. That said, I don't use it in laptop mode a lot anyway, mostly connected to an external monitor. Still.

Honestly I am thinking of just going back to my old Carbon. It has damage from dropping it from desk height, face-down on a stone tile floor, resulting in the screen flickering sometimes. Maybe I'll just get that repaired and use it as my main machine again.

I'm a little skeptical of buying the new Carbon, since it also has the new Intel chip. What if I have shitty battery life and heat/fan occurring with that? Other laptops (e.g. Framework) also report that the new Intel generation is WORSE in terms of battery life than the old one.

Really hoping that Lenovo will team up with AMD and put those monster chips into the Thinkpads. Those seem to practically equal the Apple M1/M2 in terms of both performance and battery life. It seems there is an AMD model out, but it's not in the mainstream
