Similarly, I took a ten week sabbatical (I didn't call it that) from my dot-com startup job in spring 2001 (before 9/11 terrorism). This was after almost two decades of never taking more than five days off work at a time, and even that maybe only once every year or two.

It worked out great. I started lifting weights and eating a little better and reduced my weight by about ten pounds as I recall (and it stayed off for many years). I visited my newly widowed mother half way across the country and got her to set up a POA and trust document for her estate planning, which proved invaluable years later when she suddenly declined in health. I drove with my spouse and 3 kids (middle school and high school age) to Palm Springs for a week and had a lot of fun both there and on the way.

My financial condition was such that I could afford it, but I had to go on COBRA for family health insurance and in all respects was basically treated as quitting my job by the company, with only a verbal promise to bring me back to my previous job. Interestingly, while I was gone, there was a major layoff of 15-20% of staff (out of a total of about 220), but they still welcomed me back with open arms at the scheduled end of my absence.

No regrets at all.
FTX ex-engineering chief Nishad Singh pleads guilty to criminal charges
True story: my neighbor's lease payment was under, by a dollar or two, no more. An error in his banking practices, I guess.

They came and repossessed it in the middle of the night. He offered to pay, and they wouldn't take a credit card, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, wire transfer, or any other modern form of payment. No, he had to go to Western Union. Someone who's more up on this sort of stuff can explain that.

A week later I drove him to the parking lot where they take repossessed cars. I waited until he signaled that all was OK.
We are fairly similar, but we provide model hosting, and also are focused on a more narrow band of AI tasks, including image generation for blogs, stock photos, and events.
Doing an actual repo is much more costly and sometimes involves doing PI stuff like trying to track down the location of the vehicle. The cost of one repo easily wipes out profits on many months' worth of interest payments.

I agree, it reads like an ill-fated attempt at parody.
I don't know anything about algebraic geometry or category theory or haskell, but I know some stuff about the normal boring kind of linear algebra, and in some places the author relies on statements like "since the eigenvalues are real and positive we can conclude that it is a symmetric positive definite matrix" which I know are just wrong (it wouldn't have to be symmetric). This is particularly bad because the rest of the argument (for example in 6.2.2) explains why it's so cool that we've shown it's symmetric (we haven't).

> A person who is full-time writing bad poetry that nobody wants to read

The only difference between that and our own industry is that there are plenty of people full-time writing bad code that no one wants to use, except there are procurement departments, execs, and the like who ring up million-dollar contracts for that software, leading to long-term vendor lock-in.

If this is applied to programming, then just be aware that "doing the simplest thing that can possibly work" integrated over time typically won't result in anything good. For any given task, the simplest thing that can possibly work will often have other effects that are hard to quantify on the spot (like increased tech debt).

If you're working on things that are intended to be short lived, then just do whatever is needed to get the job done and move on. If you're working with something where you know there's a good chance it'll be around for some time, then every once in a while, someone will have to take on the role of saying "no, we're not gonna do the simplest possible thing right now".

From my experience most of the complexity doesn't come from adding stuff (where intuition is the only thing you have, and this rule doesn't help), but when removing/refactoring stuff, or the lack of doing it.

A recent known example is Elon Musk removing a lot of services in Twitter that were built over the years. Every addition probably improved the system's functionality, but the more complex a codebase gets, the harder it is to change separate pieces (by definition of complex).

I believe it was a big business mistake of him buying Twitter (especially as Tesla is getting competitors, like BYD growing by 100% a year), but removing services in itself probably makes the code more manageble by a smaller team.
The rise of SMS as a second factor for security across the web has raised the incentive for SIM-swapping tremendously. No one should be shocked that when tech companies start outsourcing their identity verification to cell phone providers those providers come under attack.

In literally every part of the world, SARS-CoV2 is endemic. It didn't "work", you're just making a post hoc attribution of wiggles in the first derivative of case counts to an action that you prefer.

A far more parsimonious reason that (for example) Novia Scotia had fewer cases (for a time) is that Novia Scotia is in the middle of nowhere and has less than a million people. It's the inverse of the reason that the major cities of the world got it first.

I was having a laugh with my mother the other week, talking about childhood memories and things. I was a pretty mischievous kid when all is said and done. When I was 7 years old, I learned that you can take apart old radios, transformers, and find a lot of copper in them! And back then, you could sell a few hundred grams of copper at the scrapyard for a small fortune!

So the joke was, while we as kids used to do that stuff for real, kids nowadays do it all from their phone...
I quit in spring 2021. I bounced around the US, living in a few different parts, witj family/friends. Driving across the continent so much really made me appreciate its beauty, particularly the western and southwestern parts.

I sometimes get inspired to do little programming projects, never more than a few days. I don’t need to work right now and I don’t have much motivation to. If something fell in my lap I’d probably go with it.

Initially after quitting, I was pretty against ever working in the tech industry proper again. With time and hindsight, my view is a bit different now. I realized that if you have means, you don’t really have anything to fear in the workplace. If it gets bad enough just tell em to fuck off. The potential of layoffs, negative feedback, asshole boss/coworkers - who cares? I can just quit. So it’s been freeing to realize that, but I’m still not motivated to dive back in.

I’m not conquering the world or doing anything interesting and I don’t aspire to. I read and hang out with my dog, if it’s nice we’ll hike or something. I volunteer. I visited another continent with an old friend. I spend a lot of time cooking, which I’ve always liked to do. I live with and support a very close friend who nearly died in 2020. I’m very proud of how she has turned things around.

I’m just living a simple, easy life. I figured I would be restless, itching to get back in the game certainly after a year or so. But it’s almost two years and it hasn’t gone that way. I have a lot of gratitude for my life and I would be fine staying this way.

I’m waiting for an IPO that will likely change my circumstances, so my life has had a flavor of “sitting in the waiting room” the last couple years. That has gotten super annoying, there’s stuff I’d like to do that I can’t yet. But it’s the tiniest problem in the world to have.

You’re forgetting an important aspect of making stuff like this law - accountability and recourse. Sure, laws won’t magically make security happen, but it will provide tools against companies that don’t follow outlined laws or regulations to suffer consequences for mishandling data.

IIRC, on Darknet Diaries podcast they shared that one of the approaches is that someone comes to a location that services T-Mobile customers and has T-Mobile terminal (not necessarily a T-Mobile brand boutique shop). They come with a random request and wait for an employee to sign into the terminal and then pull it out of their hands and run away. They then run against the clock (whatever time it takes to report theft to central T-Mobile office and block the device) to perpetrate the fraud.

I guess a second factor confirmation on every modifying request would solve the issue?

I dont feel like I share the same planet with this comment. AMD on Linux is vastly widely better in almost every way. Nvidia is a terrible partner & the binary/closed/proprietary drivers they offer have tons of wrinkles/issues, and whether Nvidia even bothers supporting modern capabilities everyone else agrees on is forever & seemingly always will be in question.

Nvidia's whole role in life seems to be competing against standards. Everyone else heads one way, Nvidia tries to out-compete by making their own. Oh great, there's DLSS support in the new binary driver... FSR only works because AMD did it at a share-able level. FreeDesktop is making GBM? Let's invent EGLStreams & insist on that for a decade. Nvidia has no visible cooperative spirit.

AMD has good drivers, super reliable, worked on by a wide variety of the gaming/computer-graphics industry/world. There's a huge trove of Proton games that run exceedingly well & without fail: proof positive that AMD has the situation down.

I mostly use fuzzy searching, not exact matching, it's so convenient.

From Emacs, I just don't search in org-mode, I search into typically my entire user directory, in both .txt files, source code files, .org files, etc. using "counsel-rg" (just a wrapper around ripgrep).

It's super quick. I enter, say, at the Emacs rg prompt:

gmp lib

So that's "gmp<space>lib" and it'll find every line, in any single file, no matter it's format, where, on the same line, there's "gmp" followed by, anywhere else later on the line, "lib", no matter the capitalization.

The wrapper around rg takes care of calling it with the correct magic invocation.

Say I type: "pi rypi" then Emacs/counsel shall spawn a call to rg looking like this (it's configurable):

/usr/bin/rg --max-columns 240 --with-filename --no-heading --line-number --color never -i "(pi).*?(rypi)"

And, well, I much prefer to enter simply "pi rypi" and have "(pi).*?(rypi)" generated for me.

I've got the call to "counsel-rg" assigned to a shortcut.

I use it all the time.

P.S: ripgrep is an amazing tool written an HN'er, burntsushi. It's really fast and, by default, won't search into many files you don't care about anyway. It is so fast that on my relatively modern machine (AMD 3700X / NVME M.2 PCIe 3.0x4 SSD) I don't bother and typically search from the root of my home directory.
I know that in Oxbridge Universities, that wouldn't cut it. The teaching method revolves around writing essays and attending small tutorials where you discuss your arguments with a subject-matter expert. The problem with that approach is that it doesn't scale.

The current situation is very different from 1939. Germany's Blitzkrieg in 1939 lasted barely over a month, and resulted in the total annexation of Poland. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has lasted just over a year, and is far from complete.

As far as I'm aware, Poland received no substantial military aid during the invasion. Ukraine is receiving military equipment from dozens of countries globally.

Although both are, indeed, invasions, I believe the similarities end there. You could liken the Ukrainian invasion to almost any other invasion in history, and find _some_ parallels. Whether it is a helpful comparison depends a lot, but the geopolitical situation in 1939 differs a lot from what it is today. America, for one, is now a major player in European affairs -- something that wasn't a factor in 1939.

It was only after the Second World War that the United States emerged as a major world power, about the same time that the United Nations were founded and the onset of the Cold War.

Although some connections can be drawn to the breakup of the Soviet Union and post-WW1 Germany (both being 'defeated' nations, as it were), the geopolitical landscape is a very different state today due to multiple factors, including but not limited to the rise of China, Russian politics (I'm far from an expert but from what I'm reading, Putin is not unanimously supported), and the state of European energy/material dependency (as you stated).
I've also never worked at a place that used CMake, but I do see it used a fair amount in OSS.

I'm not allergic to CMake. It seems fine. Ugly and a bit baroque, but it's hardly the only tool like that.
Exactly! The device is approximately 12mm thick. I will upload a side shot shortly. I appreciate you bringing this up, it's an excellent point! To be honest, it is still a bit thicker than I had initially hoped for; however, when I weighed my options - solder 26 devices by hand vs use pre-made components -- the decision was much more clear.

npm used to be super slow but it's not the case anymore. I admire the efforts around optimising package managers, but when I see these benchmarks I don't feel like using another non standard package manager, to save a few seconds once in a while.
Don't use org mode. As I said in another comment in this thread, the whole idea is just egregious yak shaving.

Does org mode have semantic understanding of keywords and a language AI to record my tasks for me? Then it's doomed. Does it sync in the cloud and have world class security (only storing decryption keys at rest in specialized hardware, locally on a TPM like device)? Then it's doomed. Does it have beautiful graphical interfaces for tablet, phone, and PC? Then it's doomed. Does it require you to learn how to use an antiquated text editor that only a small niche of non-programmers are using? Then it's doomed.

You can use org mode even if it is doomed to be irrelevant to normal people. It will continue to work. But it's not magic, please STOP TELLING ME IT'S MAGIC. It's not better than what's out there. There's companies sinking tons of money into todo apps and note taking apps that are integrating modern technologies that make any advantage of org mode complete obsolete in the world of advanced GUIs and language models.
The gifs look great, but it would be cool to see what this visualisation looks like with audio (ideally without having to join a discord server). Maybe the authors could choose a best-case-scenario audio track and use it as a demo.

> some new type of tech is discovered that will let pizza cook faster

Pizza is actually cooked hot and fast compared to most other dishes already.
I want the back of the oven to be 500C / 930F before I start. This is why a pizza oven is specialised equipment, a standard-issue kitchen oven doesn't get that hot (usually tops out under 300C), so doesn't give nearly as good results.

And why it takes about 90-120 seconds per pizza to cook in a proper pizza oven.

Though IDK, maybe Dominos process is different to this, for their different pizza style.

If you wanted to cook even faster, then less toppings would help, but you may not want that, though you might get a good result in 60 seconds.

And an even hotter might not work- I suspect that it would not give as good results, e.g. burned in one area and undercooked in another.
Not sure I follow....

Biometrics are very difficult to impossible to reproduce short of physical coercion.

It seems like a good idea for stolen autos (at least until the car can be modded to remove the ability, so recently stolen autos). As long as there are enough checks to ensure that only the owner (or law enforcement with a warrant) can repossess the car. There just has to also be a requirement that the lease holder can't lawfully repossess without a court judgement.

My advice to anyone using Air Canada: upon arrival to the destination, don't waste time trying to find your suitcase on the carousel (it's not there anyway) - instead, go directly to the kiosk to complain about the lost luggage , otherwise you will have to stand in line for 2 hours. :-)
I quit my job, because I was burnt-out, and felt unappreciated. I spoke with my brother about it at the time to see if he had any advice. He simply asked me "Do you see yourself working there another 5 years?", that sealed it for me. No income, was living on savings at the time. During my time off (~3 months) I barely did any development, my focus was on fitness and improving my mental wellbeing. I didn't return to my old job, instead I started working for myself as a contractor. I no longer felt burnt-out, and the team I joined really appreciates me; so overall I felt the time off was a great decision. The only thing I would have done differently is create a new schedule, and reward system then stick to it. Do X this week, go do Y this weekend. I didn't expect the withdrawal symptoms, I still felt like a part of me was still at work. It takes a while to adjust to your new freedom, reality only started sinking in after the 1st month off. Time goes by so quickly, before you know it it's over. Ideally I would have liked more time off (6-9 months), but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to start working as a contractor at the time. My advice is if you're considering a sabbatical, do it! Just understand why you need one, and decide how long it should be then double it. Chances are you will only take a few sabbaticals in your career.
It is not clear to me what they are implementing here. There is not mention of passkeys anywhere.
I like the "no particular reason" concept you have. It's absolutely not true, but I still like it. The company over staffed because it was trendy to do so. The company was not profitable. Seems like a pretty good particular reason to me.

How it was handled can be discussed as being good/bad/fair/unfair/whatevs, but the numbers didn't like on revenue, just on the user counts.
Taking that particular topic aside, are there any other "grievance" studies majors that you can think of?
