quick reaction: the grit you have to complete work stuff maybe has to move to the side project. For example reverse your day: first 2 hours are for your side project. this likely will feel weird and shake up your current strategy, but that's the point!

as we get older we naturally come to focus on less and less whether due to raw physical capacity, growing responsibilities, and even just more sense. So i would suggest reframing the question as how to prioritize and focus my efforts, vs how do i add more capacity for a side project.
A small single bed (well, mattress, a bed will typically be at least slightly larger) is 30"×75", which is 15.625 sq ft.

13 sq ft a little bigger than midway between that and a standard crib mattress (28"×52", 10.1+ sq ft)

This...must be a typo.
Ask HN: How do you know if leaving your 1st software job will make you happier?
After uni I joined a FinTech with ~200 engineers and strong employee reviews. Like many grads, it's my first full time job in software, which makes it hard to gauge how good or bad the overall experience is compared with other companies.

Three years in I think our company is, on average, as good as the best 'out there', but when individuals hit rough patches (stress, poor growth, low autonomy, etc.) they often start looking for a new job. Even if they decide to stay put, they sometimes plow on with low morale, berating themselves for not trying a new gig.

I believe other good software companies would have just as many problems - though maybe not the same ones as us - and that some of my despairing colleagues would be happier if they had that mindset, focusing on making the most of the opportunities they have and driving change instead of pining for a nirvana. But maybe my expected cosmic background shittiness is too high, I'm romanticising pointless suffering, and we should actually all bugger off.

How can first timers make better judgements about their situations - both in terms of being grateful for what's good around them and critical of the genuinely bad?

PS:
For those who have been at one company for most of their career, but who felt like quitting for one or more reasons, did things get better or did you just accept the tradeoffs?

Have you ever truly regretted quitting a job - why?

Money aside, did you ever leave a job you were happy with to find one where you were even more happy? Did that work?

Any promising cures for tinnitus in the future? I've had it since 2018 and it appeared during a time when I was very stressed out. I have learned how to tune it out and live with it most of the time, but wish I could eliminate it all together. At the beginning I would look up different tricks for dealing with it, but they all seemed to make it worse. The most effective for me was to learn to ignore it.
The -L option is for tmux so it needs to go before the command as `tmux -L dev new` and `tmux -L dev attach`.
Of course they are. Edit: Sound this close to the hearing organs which is too loud, will destroy hearing and cause tinnitus. This is well known.
My impression is that Javascript is just an horrible language to create reactive systems, and that default purity with explicit effects is extremely underrated. (But then, I was already biased.)

It is hard to even make sense of the discussion without imagining the details of how those frameworks are implemented. And the discussion on the level of normal usage, not something advanced or development oriented.
Thanks for the feedback! I will make sure to fix those edge cases with fractional nanosecond values
Using GitHub Actions to maintain Gentoo packages repository
https://archive.is/OAuBB
Poetry is basically NPM, Cargo, or Composer, but for Python, and my impression is generally that people who have used those tools see it as incredibly valuable and useful, and people who haven't used those tools don't really understand what the fuss is about. (Disclaimer, I am in the former camp.)

It's a way of wrapping all the different facets of maintaining a package and its dependencies into a single tool, which as much of the details transparently taken care of. So for example, if I clone a new project, and run `poetry install`, then:

1. A new venv is just automatically created, I don't need to think about accidentally clobbering my global Python installation, but I also don't need to think about creating my own venv every time. It just happens automatically.

2. All of the packages I need will be resolved and installed as I expect. Additionally, because there should already be a lock file in the repository, I will be installing the same versions as everyone else working on the same project, meaning we're not going to run into weird dependency issues.

3. I can automatically activate and run the environment with ease to run the test or linting tools that I need.

4. I can create wheels and even distribute them to PyPI or other repositories as necessary.

5. I can update the dependencies in the project based on semver requirements, but also individually, on a case-by-case basis, and go back to previous "known good" easily via git.

But most of all:

6. If I switch to a different Poetry-based project, I can do all the same things in the same way, using exactly the same standardised interface. Which means that I can just jump into new projects, support other open source tools and libraries, join other teams, etc, with a significantly reduced onboarding time. No more funky Makefiles, no more figuring out which tool I'm missing: just use Poetry, and everything is consistent, and it Just Works™.

FWIW, it's not perfect. It's not as powerful as package managers for other languages, so there's a handful of use cases like workspaces for multiple projects that are not well supported. It's also not officially blessed by the Python maintainers in the way that Cargo or NPM are, which means it's always slightly more of a risk, and means people need to install it before they use your project. Also even if it were perfect, brilliantly maintained, and used by nearly everyone, there's still a handful of use cases where it would break down - even with Cargo, some projects still have manual calls to rustc to handle their specific use cases.

To me, right now it's an 80% solution (in the sense that 80% of projects will find 100% of their needs satisfied by it). I think it could become a 95% solution if it came popular enough, and if there were more core Python support. (Or alternatively: an alternative that was officially maintained by Python maintainers like venv or pip could be a 95% solution.)
If true, it’s probably either defective AirPods or less-than-stellar (but maybe within specs) ANC.

You can get a kind of tinnitus from long exposure to even low-volume continuous noise, because the ear starts to compensate for the noise (in a fashion very similar to ANC, I imagine, just on the level of the auditory neurons or the cochlea), and then continues to compensate even when the noise is gone.
What comes first, the regulation or the regulatory capture?
I think it's fair to say that no one with a remotely normal job can reasonably work from there.
>It's not the bank manager coming down to evict you or repossess your car. They distance themselves by outsourcing the enforcement through third parties like repo companies and sheriffs.

I don't think the current status quo is good either. The distance between the one with power and the one who is effected has been very far for a very long time, but pushing it even more distant and cemented is worse.

The consequence of using power unjustly is decreasing. If a dictator wanted to prevent a protest by arresting all attendees before they arrived, it would require enormous resources and be extremely visible and unpopular, and inspire future resistance. If he can instead push a button and drive all the attendees cars to an out of the way lot (or simply immobilize them), the overhead is much lower.

But seriously, where are we going if old people are gonna have to confine themselves into cruises? I get the cost opportunity, but...
Thanks for that update, I heard about it only once years ago. Yeah safest thing is to assume it can't come back, and be aware of the accumulation, as you said.
The energy is reaching your ear in the form of sound waves.

The ANC tech (when done correctly) is sending an antiphase (inverse) wave with the same amplitude but inverted phase timed exactly to the original sound wave.

Effectively the two waves destructively interfere with and cancel each other out - it's not 100% but when done well is pretty effective for regular/consistent sounds
We had this happen at my company. I had set some new memory settings in a JAVA_OPTS environment variable due to heap issues. The DBA kept a tmux server running and would periodically restart our app when they needed to do work on those tables it interacted with during maintenance windows.

The heap issues kept occurring even though I triple checked the ENV variables. However, ps -ef showed the old values!

Once I figured out he was using tmux the issue was resolved by closing out all sessions and starting new ones.
How can you know there's not a Universal Quantum Turing Machine that has encoded precisely the functions we've discovered based on the test-observations we've conducted?

pipx is for installing python scripts as cli tools, as an end user.

Say there is a thing called ytb-dlp that lets you download YouTube videos. Instead of creating a virtualenv for it yourself, activating it, pip installing this thing inside it, and then having to cumbersomely use it like that..

pipx install ytb-dlp. It will do all of that for you and put it on your path.

No.
Even a small single bed is about 13 sq. ft so it has to be wrong.
Yeah, you can incorporate BPC-157 and other small peptides into liposomes.

Liposomal delivery might even work for far larger peptides and proteins. For e.g., there has been quite a lot of research into liposomal insulin: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2226109 and others.

The thing about BPC-157 in particular is that it has, in principle, pretty good oral bioavailability, and it's not clear that it would benefit from liposomal delivery. You'd probably want to run a comparative analysis -- liposomal suspension vs. plain aqueous solution -- which would be expensive no matter how you go about it.

It's odd. A couple of days ago I watched Tristam Oaten's No Boilerplate video "Oxidise Your Life" [1] and it left me thinking about how Rust is moving some programmers to rewrite tools in Rust and, while at it, adding modern features. It's nice to see that.

In the vein of fan theories about imaginary events, a favourite of mine was that James Bond died in Blofeld's brain drill chair and the second half of Spectre was hallucinations as his brain shut down.

The release of a subsequent film with the same actor sadly disproved it.
> Therefore it is in a very real sense the most austere interpretation, even though it posits all those worlds.

I strongly disagree.

Wave function collapse is the best description for a randomized phenomena we can observe. That exact same phenomena exists in many worlds as well, just that many worlds invent whole different universes to try to get away from the fact that to us the event is random. So instead of saying "our universe is random" you say "Our universe is not random, we just observe a random part of the universe and can never observe the real whole part of it", that isn't solving anything at all, its just a more elaborate way to say "the universe is random".
Anecdotally, as a remote worker, I have little interest in leaving the urban core I live in. I rarely drive and walk most places I need to go. That quality of life makes a huge difference.

I grew up in a suburban bedroom community where everything involved driving in a car and there were few places you could reasonably walk to.

Regardless of my freedom to live where I want, I have little interest to move to low density suburbs or rural areas because the convenience of urban areas is just too nice for me.
I felt similarly disappointed, as I was expecting a cool intro to DSP or something similar. But nope, another BS buzzword from the magical world of webdev.
It’s square feet. Not cubed feet. The height of the ceiling doesn’t play in to that. So it would be a 6 by 2.1 ft room with a 7 or 8 foot ceiling.

Regardless, it sounds like 130 square feet is the actual measurement.
I can see how the corset of tradition, social pressure and law can make marriage "more durable" of course. If you're facing eternal damnation and being ousted from the only social circle you know unless you marry before ever having sex and everyone around you does the exact same thing then of course many if not most people will endure all but the very worst marriages.

I'm glad this is finally past us in at least some places in the world. Unfortunately not everywhere. Not even in Canada or the US and other such countries.

I think the 50+% divorce rate in itself isn't the bad thing. It's not the root cause. It's just a statistic that shows how unhappy a lot of marriages have always been. But until recently-ish (and still in some places) people couldn't get out of it and endured it all and you can't tell me that they were better off that way.

You can treat "it" as a life-long treatment without all the pressures and the paper and all the other stuff.
Great work. In my experience, all these things are frequently true:

> the AI label lends itself to inflated claims of functionality that the systems cannot meet

> despite the ”intelligent” label, many deployed AI systems used by public agencies [and businesses] involve simple models defined by manually crafted heuristics

> AI makes claims to generality while modeling behaviour that is determined by highly constrained and context-specific data

> [decision-makers] often define AI with respect to how human-like a system is, and concluded that this could lead to deprioritizing issues more grounded in reality

> even critics of technology often hype the very technologies that they critique, as a way of inflating the perception of their dangers ["criti-hype"]

Why is it okay for Dahl to falsify his own stories as part of the culture war, but not for anyone else?

There's all sorts of questions lurking there, like, are all versions of a story "true", or just the last one? Or the one you know best? Did Greedo shoot first?

> passing it off as the original

Remember, this is not the original version. Even if it were, you're okay with it so long as they don't pass it off as original, right?

How much notice do you want? "This film has been edited for content" seems enough for the film industry. Is "This book has been edited for content" good enough for you?

The accounts I've read said there was a comment on the copyright page about the edits. However, everyone cites The Telegraph, which has an ellipsis in its original report, so is incomplete. Without knowing the full text, we don't know what it said regarding the edits made.

> enormous crocodile

There's a very different way to interpret Dahl's comment. It could be continued anger over being forced to change his text some 10 years previous, when he faced a lot of pressure to make the Oompa Loompas be something other than the implied slavery of African Pygmies workers smuggled into the country working for food.

Some of the pressure came from the film studio for the Gene Wilder picture. In 1971 when plans for a US-produced film was announced, the the NAACP threatened to protest and boycott it. The studio wanted to make money, not defend implicit slavery.

“In response, Dahl was shocked and sullen,” Eplett writes. “He found the NAACP to be unreasonable, telling Knopf editor Bob Bernstein he was unable to understand why the perceived his story as a ‘terrible dastardly anti-negro book,’ and described their attitude as ‘real Nazi stuff.’” (quoting https://daily.jstor.org/roald-dahls-anti-black-racism/ ).

Pressure came also from the US publisher, who wanted to reprint the book for the movie, and sell the sequel. Even more pressure came from the literary world, with criticism from people like Eleanor Cameron.

So, he changed the text.

But that doesn't mean he wanted to change the text because he thought it resulted in a better story. The changes were to improve profit.

As a reminder, he was an asshole to work with. The editor-in-chief of his publishing company called him out on it in 1980 ("I’ve come to believe that you’re just enjoying a prolonged tantrum and are bullying us. ... Apparently, when [the editor] sent the letter [to Dahl], all of Dahl’s contacts at Knopf “stood on their desks and cheered.” - https://lithub.com/when-roald-dahls-editor-decided-he-was-to... ).

So this 1982 quote could also be seen as part of an arrogant asshole's 'prolonged tantrum' with his publishing company.
Another big component of a metaverse (in my mind) is essentially an accessible MMO with creative tools. Spore Galactic Adventures is the oldest example I can think of, but one could argue Fortnite and Minecraft are much closer to that vision.

Chats rooms arent really an interactive space for the output of creative tools like video games are, and I'd argue YouTube and Twitch are "dumb TV portals" if you set their algorithmic sorting and toxic live chat side.
In the UK you could stay in a small hotel for that price and have a lot more space.
I think the issue is more with the depth of the experience, because as you say it's only what you want "for the day." In the shorter timeframes you're allowed the worry might be that you only see what the material aspects of life are like, but never really get a sense of what it's like to inhabit that world.

Though even with that in mind I guess different people could be looking for different things when they visit a place.
I’m sorry. Times may be changing.

But we do have Lake Ontario, Niagara falls, etc.

Wave function collapse is an additional mechanism. If you remove the wave function collapse, you get many worlds.
having been to many many festivals, where you pass through many crowds some static (eg people standing still) or dynamic (eg like the paper - everyone moving)

I found that people will just follow the nearest person moving roughly in the same direction as you want, if you can't see no one doing that, you then muddle your way through people but then find that theres a train of people behind you.

if you cant't find anyone to folow and you're the front person, then simple rules seem to come into action eg angles of how people are stood also seem to play a part, you prefer to go around the back of people rather than in front of them. and if there's two people together you try not to go through them. etc..

Here is my recommendation since you are asking:

1. Volunteer at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen
2. Go tutor, some undereducated children with your advanced Ph.D.
3. Sit in on a big AA meeting (you don't even have to be an alcoholic)
4. Put your loose change in a parking meeting as you walk down the street
5. Walk along the streets and pick up trash, to make the world a better place
6. Go to the gym
7. Give someone you don't know a nice compliment
8. Play sports
9. Become a big brother or sister at big brother organization
10. Suck it up
11. Remove yourself from social media

Therapy is great, but there are other parts to the equation.
