The problem is in setting wrong expectations. The app is "sold" as trustless - you're told that there's no need to trust the provider, but that's simply not true.

I would agree that it's "safer", though, since client-side encryption indeed eliminates several ways how the confidentiality of your data could be compromised.
I wonder if they'll switch to polyacrylamide (kapton) tape. It's already used on packs pretty frequently just not on the tabs. Heat shouldn't damage this material.
I certainly care a lot about having a Linux desktop that works well with the hardware I bought for it, and has a company with a vested interest in keeping it that way. I admire how Apple controls their entire stack and is able to do interesting, smooth integrations with all of their offerings.
You can't make this up.
I don't see why teachers don't use this as an opportunity to accelerate curriculum. Every student now has a cheap personal instructor. Why not raise the bar on difficulty and quality expectations for assignments?
At the same time the classifier is improving, the generative models are improving. It’s a classic arms race and this equilibrium is not likely to shift much either way. We are talking about models that approximate human behavior with a high degree of accuracy, I think the goal would be to make them indistinguishable in any meaningful way.
Next up, get rid of HOAs.
My passion for tech outside of work extended into my 30s but by late 30s, after having children, it dwindled. It has recently picked back up again in my early 40s as I can view the world somewhat through my children's eyes and their curiosity and creativity is infectious. So my advice is to try to be curious about the world again and if that curiosity flows to building technical things let it take you there, if not it might take you somewhere else just as interesting.

It's also being used in aerospace & naval navigation. Interestingly, the more advanced systems use fibre-optic gyroscopes, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-optic_gyroscope.

Northtrop Grumman manufactures those, for example.
You Probably Suck at Working Remotely
I feel like at your age (28) most are slowing being pushed (by society or cultural norms) to be passionate/curious about (instead of side projects):

what it's like to work towards a long term relationship (marriage) with a significant other

what it's like to raise a family

I'm always impressed when I see how productive people are online with coding projects/hobbies when they are 35-55 and have a family/children. It seems daunting to be able to manage both.
That video really is astonishingly good and would have won him awards if shown on television instead of YouTube.
I've used ChatGTP to generate some code for me and almost every time it was a learning experience. I saved a lot of time searching, and it just gave me what I was after. Observing how someone or something like AI can solve a problem, is fast way to learn. I don't see a problem with this.
Teachers can always just use in person tests to check if a student mastered the concepts. Math teachers got over students using calculators for homework, and can check understanding just fine on tests.
It used to be that students would solve home work problems by candle light, with abacus and look up tables. Yet no one want to mandate back to that, just because it made homework harder.
Both states have a lot of rural areas that should not be counted when considering density. CSA and MSA for a city are the easiest to look up that can be compared. Even then though things are misleading. (the MSA for my city is mostly large farms so overall our density is very low, but if you only take the parts that look like a city is much higher)
For me, I just don't see anything exciting in the future for me with regards to software engineering and my career.

When I was first starting out, possibilities were endless. Lots to learn, lots to build.

When I was in college, I started getting internships, and dreams of disneyland-like big tech jobs were abundant.

Now, I have the big tech job and everything is objectively getting worse. Big tech jobs are less and less cushy. Jobs are harder to get. Salaries are going down. Layoffs left and right. Promotions and raises are a grind. Etc. etc. Absolutely nothing to look forward to.

People are talking about depression and low-test, but maybe the future just isn't bright anymore, and this is a normal reaction.
Speaking as the author of the article, when I wrote this my original outline actually phrased it in terms of alchemy (occult sense) to transmute a part of me that I had come to hate into a fundamental advantage that can set me apart from others. As I was drafting things, I gradually filed the serial numbers off of the alchemy and I ended up picking "weaponizing hyperfocus" as a more memorable term than "transmuting a source of pain to a source of joy".

I was going to put this on my own website but the other people on the DevRel team asked me to make it the first post on tailscale.dev. So I made it the first post on tailscale.dev.

I will take your feedback into account to improve future writing.
DO is also good and less restrictive for a new user than aws (I.e. getting more resources). I remember having to beg to get more than 1(or 2) servers at aws as a new user.

I haven't looked recently but does DO have the heroku click to add resources and git push to deploy offerings?
Indeed, containers and static linking are just hiding the problem.

> each software is installed in it's own folder, and the search path for dynamic linking starts in the binary's folder.

I think the benefit of this is that an app can be fat but doesn't have to. And an app can be made fat afterwards if need be. The app folder is just the starting point for searching. If the library is not there it is probably shared.

Wrappers and a build system that tweaks everything feel like a hack, not a system wide solution.

There is also Gobo Linux. I wonder if they solved this.

This isn't some unknown town that put in a lot of planning, money, and effort to create demand. The only thing of "value" that happened was that a state full of good weather and jobs was monopolized early with low density housing. I don't know of any small towns that don't want more growth. Asking for more planning is only used in areas of rampant speculation.

Also the whole idea behind the suburban experiment was the idea that it was a finished state. That there was absolutely no need to densify or plan for growth, because more suburban land could just be annexed.
Well, my interpretation still doesn't make it a good comment. I'm not against it being dead, even if it was completely clear and my interpretation was the only one.
The democracy quote wasn't meant to be a comment about the governance of the C++ standards committee. It was the "bad, but better than the rest" idea, as well as the humorous nature of the quote, that I wanted to use to draw a comparison with programming languages.

Criticizing C++ based on age has two problems. One is you probably don't have any real data on C++ users, so it's just speculation. Two is it's a logically invalid argument, an ad hominem. If someone were to criticize Rust based on the age of its users that wouldn't be a good argument either. Also, a language being newer doesn't make it inherently better. Bad programming languages are created anew every day.

I will take Rust more seriously when it gets widespread adoption in industries where performance and productivity really matter. Take AAA games for example. These projects require squeezing every last bit of performance out of the hardware; toolchain support for a wide range of desktop, console, and mobile systems; $80 million budgets with tight deadlines. Another industry like this is high frequency trading. I'm not saying Rust can't provide these benefits, but the fact that we haven't seen Rust widely adopted in these industries speaks to the effectiveness of C++ for raw speed and getting shit done.
Heroku also had weird business with Skeb.jp on 12/23-24 JST that was literally solved under the table - after Skeb redeployed to AWS. It seemed like a policy decision being made at Salesforce which owns Heroku. Whether such behavior adds confidence to their business users, I don’t know.
Hah, is there a middle-ground that likes choice in the Linux world without subscribing to the delusion that Mac/Windows ecosystems constitute anything a reasonable person might describe as "a thriving hellscape of proprietary crapware"?

I'll buy/build a Linux desktop when we get quality hardware and software options (where "good hardware" means more than "fast CPU! big memory!"), but for now Mac is a pretty good experience. You can't hack around the source code for proprietary programs (I've pretty much never wanted to do this on any desktop system), but you can run open source alternatives for everything except maybe some core software.
You want to use better localized memory structures in faster cache, and you want to allow the use of the higher frequency/IPC cores instead of being thermally/memory bandwidth limited by all the cores being loaded at lower frequency all the time.
When I visited Palo Alto I found it a very strange experience, my ‘terrain reading’ skills that would lead me to a convenience store and similar affordances in most developed and developing countries did not work at all.

It seemed to me that you could double the population density of that kind of neighborhood by replacing a single family lot with a 8 story tower every other block and filling in an occasional duplex, triplex or small apartment building. Such a neighborhood would be different but still pretty nice by most people’s standards, you can see neighborhoods like that in L.A. or São Paulo.

To be devil’s advocate though I’d say there are larger scale reasons why people might conclude that ‘California is full’. One is that the population density of California overall is about the same as Germany even though most of California is uninhabitable or massive farm fields. Certain regions of the coast are highly populated by U.S. standards even if they are nothing like Hong Kong or Singapore. The linear pattern of dense development means the radio spectrum is utilized like nowhere else in the US such that there are more OTA TVs channels in LA than some cable plans.

California struggles with water and any population addition would require adding more infrastructure of all kinds. It could be more highways, it could be more public transit but it has to be paid for. And the US is a country that spends 10’s of billions to duplicate a train station in NYC or run rail from Bakersfield to Fresno. A reasonable person could very well try to gum up the gears in that machine no matter how they can.

You might say that more population means more economic activity and more tax base but I am not so sure. A lot of it seems driven by inequity and monopoly power. Google and Facebook could not double their revenue by doubling their hiring in California and it is not so plausible that the next big startup in the U.S. would be able to accomplish what they’ve done. There was a time you could dream of selling a company like WhatsApp to Facebook even if going public was not in the cards but the monopolists would hate to have to spend that much to defend their positions and surely try to shape the environment to prevent that. (Now from Genshin Impact to Tik-Tok innovation in social/entertainment is happening in the PRC because that economy is more open to competition.)
It's a good thing the UK is less "relevant" than in those days! It would not be better for the world or for Britain if the British Empire was still at its peak. After all the Empire was wound down deliberately, the people didn't want to continue with it.

"The US and the EU, at least, are exporters of rules and standards in the way that the UK is not (it effectively was when it was a member of the EU, as it had a lot of influence on the EU position)."

No, that's a common claim but not really true. The UK had very little influence inside the EU and the EU rules were almost always made to satisfy the needs of either the EU institutions themselves, or the domestic economies of France and Germany.

A good way to see this is to look at the fate of the "single market for services". The UK is uniquely strong in the services market, so guess what the EU never made much progress with? Compare to its obsession with harmonizing everything to do with goods trading, which benefits primarily Germany.

Another way is to look at how responsive the EU was to the concerns of British voters on immigration levels. Answer: they hold voters in contempt and weren't willing to budge an inch. There was no influence, that's why the UK voted to leave.

"As for trying to survive, Brexit has bolstered the Scottish independence and Irish unification movements"

The latter maybe yes. The former, probably not. Scotland would have to apply to join as a regular country and its finances are in no state that would allow that.
Yes but it was a free trial where you are told up front that you will be charged if you don’t cancel within X number of days. It is not the fault of Apple or the App Store developers if the customer waits until X+n days to cancel it. They are not owed a refund.
No doubt the $5.2MM anticipated the zoning changes. No one would be stupid enough to sell property based on the law today if you knew it was going to change tomorrow.
Well, that's even worse, of course.

If this is allowed to pan out, it's the best thing to happen to California in decades.

But I'll only believe it when I see it.

I assume it's stopped in some way before any substantial amount of housing is built. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't believe California will allow it.
I had to laugh at the Santa Monica list in the article where someone, immediately after the Builder's Remedy came into effect, submitted a 2000 unit development. I wonder how long they'd been sitting on that one.
I’ve been just as passionate as I’ve ever been. What I think helps is NOT working anywhere where you’re just a fungible cog, such as FAANG. Small companies where the founder is hiring you directly to solve a very specific, describable problem.

I go to work knowing precisely what my work does for those who use it. And I get feedback from those people and live for the moments of “holy shit that used to take 5 hours to do. Now it’s 15 minutes!”

I’m not sure how you can get that loop closure at big well-established companies.

I guess the rub there is that not everyone can be so lucky to not have to work at FAANG. But there are more small companies than you’d imagine!
The pro-density crowd cannot comprehend wanting to live in a quiet, safe, uncrowded town. They say the only possible motivations are money and racism.
It's not just "light regulation." Much of the regulation that does exist is the product of regulatory capture and actually makes things even worse (for example, agriculture subsidies).
already locked myself out lol
Yeah, the lack of a sane upgrade path really is a massive issue that should be labeled more clearly. (And a headline level bullet point in any written review of it.) The lack of a sane upgrade path completely undercuts their marketing message.
> you can try to get a living HOA removed from a deed

I'd be curious about people's experiences and successes with this. Has anyone successfully pulled that off with a still-existing HOA?
You're right, that does seem a better way to encode these—but that kind of encoding design I believe Unicode is wary of doing themselves. They seem to prefer sticking with a community-picked encoding instead.
We ship Microsoft-signed Win32 binaries via PyPI, and I regularly have to go and deal with new releases being reported as malware. This kind of thing is why release pipelines normally do an automatic submission to a scanning service that checks it across all major anti-malware vendors.

Granted, this is a debugger, which among other things contains code to inject threads into running processes - which, of course, trips any decent heuristic scanner. But there are many broadly legitimate patterns that are also useful to malware and so get falsely reported as such, e.g. https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/19767
> No problem. So long as the neighbors agree with you.

That's what zoning laws are.
> Much better than suburbia in my opinion.

I think a lot of people just assume that the only kind of suburbia that exists is endless tract housing as far as the eye can see. I'm absolutely positive that does happen, but I've never lived in a suburban neighborhood that fit such a description. We have stores. We have business parks here and there. Heck, we even have public transit.

This is probably why there is such a dichotomy between those who hate suburbia, and those who love it. Different experiences piggybacking on the same terminology.
I'm not sure what codes are in Texas, but I can tell you in MN the housing codes are designed nationally to cover CA earthquakes and Florida Hurricanes even though both are not factors. Of course those codes also cover insulation which the other two states don't really need as much of..
Harm is done to the person owning the single family home absolutely but I would argue that is the lesser of two evils. The best way would be to give them some element of compensation, but still, if one wants a nice, lower density area they should move away from the rapidly growing city. You can't just expect to maintain that forever.
Sure: Arlington, Belmont, Lincoln, Newton, Waltham, Watertown, Wellesley.
Right. My passion moved on from being about the technology itself to using it to help people with their problems. Realizing that something that is trivially easy to me can be almost life-changing to someone else is exciting.

This looks really good. I'm curious when we'll get to see the first beta of the whole DE and especially how the tiling will work.

I recently switched back from Pop!_OS to Ubuntu because of really annoying bugs with the tiling window manager and especially with the suspend functionality. So I think they should not neglect their current DE.
> On-ground reality is completely different from their assumptions.

The people designing the survey are very well aware of the reality, imo. The survey is based on not just what the answers are, but also what the surveyer sees at the household. They have multiple questions to ascertain the actual number of people living in the household, including questions like "who all slept here last night".

Initial samplings of the survey are done with control groups (two separate teams) across different intervals to ensure that the methodology is good enough, and survey results are reflective of the ground-truth.

One way to validate the results would be to measure them with another methodology, and it turns out that the relevant result (India's Total Fertility Rate) has a fairly similar value (2.0 v/s 2.1)[1] via the SRS (sample registration system, 2020) which is conducted by another body (census of india) via a somewhat different methodology (tracking life-events by a local body, and using birth/death registrations alongside).

It's easy to give up and blame lying survey responders or sampling biases, but there are ways to solve for these, that are being used here.

Worked on early auto navigation systems at Motorola in the early-90s, using differential wheel sensor data from the ABS system for dead-reckoning interpolation between fixes from the original SA-active GPS before the full constellation was deployed. This was a hard problem to solve with the technology of that era, and impossible at an economically viable price point. Our map database was on an original Red Book single-speed CD qualified for automotive temperature range. It took minutes to plan a route.

Sometimes the technology just isn't ready.
With suburban sprawl, it's likely the only places within walking distance (i.e. "kid-reachable") are other houses, maybe a park. If managed well, a dense(r) city can have a forest or other semi-natural area nearby to everyone.
I noticed a sharp decrease in my world curiosity at 34. This was also the time in life that I accepted a lot of "responsibility" towards the traditional way of life, ie, stable well paying job, career growth, long term relationship, etc.

My read is that once you are fully integrated into the "system", it has micro ways of keeping you engaged - working towards that next promotion, buying a new model of your favorite EV, having your stocks vest so your net worth can increase, etc.

Creativity requires freedom to take risk. Post industrial revolution life incentivizes you to not take risks. Overtime, variability of actions goes down as does creativity.

Our jobs are all consuming of our lives - we see it as a moral good to see our jobs as "crafts"; so if you want become a better X, you should not only invest your 9 - 5 in it, but also your weekends reading books about it, your free time doing side projects showing your "passion", found a business so you can ascend into a new social class of "founders", etc.
Sony reduces PSVR 2 forecast amid lackluster preorders
This is extremely common but not discussed in technology because it changes rapidly and often happens naturally (but often only at a surface level).

For academics, there is a common piece of advice to change what you are working on every ten years radically [1] because by that time, you have explored all of the areas that occur to you (low-hanging fruit and your specialty) and that you need an influx of new idea to refresh that creativity and curiosity that you used to have.

This happens in every field and every career. Your options are to continue as you are (and things will stay the same), to learn something at a much deeper level by becoming a specialist (which only partially addresses what you described), or to change areas/fields (this can be as simple as backend -> frontend/mobile/OS/etc.) and start over.

Only the last one is guaranteed to relieve your feelings, but it comes with all the negatives and insecurities you had when you first started.

#2, you've solved most of your curiosities, and it takes more and more work to dig deeper to refresh your interest if you keep doing the same things. It could be the others, but your wording makes me strongly feel it's #2.

As far as depression goes, a lack of curiosity is the first step toward depression, but not indicative in itself. Everything becomes familiar with enough exposure, but not finding new things to be curious about means you're in a rut.
