I find it interesting to listen to pop music from the early days of the web and listen to the references which were new then, but still make sense now

Mousse T vs Hot n Juicy - Horny ‘98 (sent a message through the internet, but it rejected)

Eminem - I’m Back, The Real Slim Shady (Ken Kaniff from the internet, download her audio on MP3)

I’m sure there are more, and like the OP, some references show up in music videos too.
Is it perhaps due to them restricting access to only logged-in members?

It definitely affects me, as I haven't had an account in years (even before Elon took over), and I don't want to create one now, but some companies that I was tracking for tech support updates I can no longer track (without, of course, signing up again, which I don't want to do).
Maybe this should've been something built in if automated tooling can catch it?
One of the many idiosyncrasies of the English language.

The sentence

> Don't make fire rings where they already exist

means both:

1. If there is an existing fire ring, do not re-use it. Make a new fire ring somewhere else instead; and

2. If there is an existing fire ring, please re-use it. Do not make a new fire ring somewhere else instead.

What they _meant_ was the second interpretation, and not the first one.
Agreed, an absolutely capital post title! Myself, I read it 8-10 times.
I can't even begin to guess how you would numerically average or compare hairline drawings.

If they were fully shaded frames it would work, but hairlines I have no idea.

Also I observed that some frames left a dark background white, and others filled in a dark background as black. So you'd have to set up a lot of drawing "rules" to ensure it was even conceptually meaningful to generate an average in the first place.
I love paying $100 annually to get something "for free".

Jokes aside, I think this concept is cool and I'm not even upset that there is a membership fee to keep people engaged and to support the software component that coordinates this. But $100 per year? This feels like $50 per year TOPS! Really I feel like this should be closer to $20 per year.

I think it is going to be tough to get people to pay $100 subscription and then ask them to play host, just to earn the opportunity to get what is essentially free overnight parking at a 1:1 ratio of you providing it to others.
Aside from the syntax (I find it ugly, you find it visually appealing - it's subjective), iostreams are inefficient, awkward to customise, not thread safe (allows interleaving), and mix format and data (that one is also subjective).

I love me some operator overloading. I love / for filesystem separators, I love | for piping things. I don't like << and >> so much but that's just because of too many years of writing them everywhere.
Been in my current role for 5 years and doing okay. The thing I always think of is this set of facts:

1. There is a hard limit of the amount of work you can physically / mentally. Lets say the theoretical limit is like 18 hours a day, 7 days a week.

2. There is a "soft" limit where you as a worker have decided "I have 'enough' work. I will push back on any future asks until some tasks are completed or removed.

3. You more or less decide how close the soft limit is to the hard limit.

4. The closer your soft limit is to your hard limit, the faster you will burn out.

---------

I really don't why people who are susceptible to burn out don't just move their soft limit up an hour or two a day. If you wait until you are working 9-10 hours 5 days a week before speaking up that you have too much work, or the timeline is not going to happen, why not just do that same thing at 7 hours?

90% of the time, a manager has little to no idea how much effort something takes.
But then you make built-in types special. One of the tenets of C++ is that user defined types have as much power as built-in types.

No, you need to show the model is better on this narrow task, not just assert it is because it’s a great general LLM. It’s quite possible you’re correct but just saying GPT is the best, prove me wrong, reeks of a VC or AI bandwagoner.
I sincerely doubt that a book which was written with the intention of being a critique of the past US culture (as it effected US researcher in the ~1950, see https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/animal-emotions/2022...) will be palatable to people who are tired of such US culture discussions.

To take a quote from the author: "The main themes (of the book) is the power of cultural bias"

Just some initial thoughts:

- Lots of examples from the regenerative world, including ideas like plant guilds in permaculture

- What would resource sharing like this look like in Kubernetes? Going beyond resource limits, but a way for pod to signal cpu/mem when it isn't using it, and can reclaim it during bursts

- What does this look like when viewed through Promise Theory? (Promise Theory has insights about voluntary cooperation among autonomous agents, human or AI)
If Valve is bought by the likes of Microsoft and HL3 is released I’m pretty sure it will be utter garbage. Hunt Down the Freeman is the HL3 we deserve.

Hippie communes. No, seriously.

There needs to be some organizing principle for it to work though - some shared belief in a greater good everyone works towards. Similarly, this is how communism could work without bloodshed (some of those hippie communes are close to classical Marxism).
You say you don't have capacity to grind so maybe when the huge delivery with deadline comes, you put too pressure on yourself? You seem to be aware of your limits which is good IMO, in the end you can only do so much and you're probably hurting your performance by stressing over it. It's also healthy to have others remind you of that.

But you don't have to be overworked to be burned out. Some other reasons that come to my mind:

- too little work. I literally had nothing to do for some time because of internal processes and it felt pointless. You'd like to go beyond and use the time productively but oh, you're burned out so there goes your willpower. Boredom can be a real killer.

- lack of perspective, the job is ok but feels you'll just keep doing same thing forever without really growing

What helped me was being realistic and honest with what you can deliver within the deadline. Do your work for the day, then disconnect and relax. Otherwise burnout will force you to. Switch teams/projects/jobs if it feels hopeless.
I dove a bit into the data, and the dashboard with an account works much better than the front page search.

Are there any good use cases for this data? It looks like this company (turquoise.health) is already targeting price comparisons ("rate sense"), contract negotiations for people/companies who purchase health care ("clear contracts") and other parts of the value chain. Are there any other parts of the value chain left? I can't think of anything...
Plenty of communes have existed at varying scales historically.

Plus, something like Mondragon exists with a large scale. It's less commune and more workers coop at the billion dollar scale, but it's nevertheless a useful reminder that we can scale up non traditional models.

> You can interpret the question more literally as "more confident than in their coding than they would have been if someone criticized their code". But that implies the alternative we are talking about is working in a team and also having less confidence.

Yes, but it doesn't imply "lack of confidence" or being "insecure". The question was about "extra confidence".

"I don't see this lack of confidence" is a strange statement. The question is about a difference in confidence level, and you wouldn't be able to observe it unless you observed solo indie devs, which is difficult to do, because they work alone. ;-)
Probably in the "zero[0] marginal cost to owner" sense. They already paid for them; that cost has been sunk. If they aren't using them (and while I don't have citations to back this is, I'm confident that the majority of privately owned bathrooms are sitting idle and unused at least half of the day) why not let someone else?

[0] Yes, okay, fine, the marginal cost is not truly, literally zero: there'll be a few cents for water, a little wear and tear on the equipment, a few squares of toilet paper, a couple squirts of soap, etc. However, most people do not track their budgets that closely anyway, so it would be lost in the noise.

right, i am more confident that we will succeed but otherwise i agree. people see the big change they must go through to achieve the end result, not realizing that even small steps will get us there. look at how far we have gotten in the last 50 years. how much poverty has been reduced across the world. we are not there yet, and there are bumps and setbacks, but this is not all or nothing, black or white, but it's a long road, and as long as we are walking it we can reach our goals. maybe not in one generation, but in a few generations if we all make an effort and teach our children to do the same. but even with less effort it is still possible, it just may take a few centuries longer.
C++ 17 is the sweet spot for me. It has most of C++ 11/14, with many new features I use a ton: constexpr, <charconv>, <string_view>, [[maybe_unused]], new SFINAE feature (if constexpr), and more. (And this was considered a small release!?)

I guess I’m just right at home and therefore a bit reluctant to jump into C++20. That and the constantly changing “””correct way of doing things.”””

Dangerzone is an implementation of a concept known as CDR (Content Disarm & Reconstruction), where you convert anything to an image inside a sandbox, and then convert the raw pixel data back into an image inside a different sandbox.

It is a common workflow inside the government or other places where you need to move data across airgaps, or view content that is highly untrusted.

“It is your best work, Basil, the best thing you have ever done,” said Lord Henry languidly. “You must certainly send it next year to the Grosvenor.”

“I know you will laugh at me,” he replied, “but I really can’t exhibit it. I have put too much of myself into it.”
Lord Henry stretched himself out on the divan and laughed.
“Yes, I knew you would; but it is quite true, all the same.”
“Too much of yourself in it! Upon my word, Basil, I didn’t know you were so vain; and I really can’t see any resemblance between you, with your rugged strong face and your coal-black hair, and this young Adonis, who looks as if he was made out of ivory and rose-leaves.”

This works on my RHEL9-compatible for a .c file (using gcc). The type specifier for main is implicitly `int`. You get some warnings about implicit types and implicit declarations, but you get a binary that when executed writes "Hello, world".
Yes, this is annoying. Integer promotions can be annoying in general.

I'm often working with fixed size types, and still find myself using %d and %ld instead of PRIu32 etc most of the time, because it's simply easier to type. If unsure about portability issues it can help to cast the argument instead. But realistically it isn't much of an issue, printfs seem to be about 0.5% of my code, and >> 90% of them are purely diagnostic. I don't even recall the last time I had an issue there. I remember the compiler warning me a few times about mismatching integer sizes though.
One (extreeeemely pedantic) difference is that (I think) HDMI begins and ends its vsync pulses when the preceding hblank begins, whereas VGA begins and ends them slightly later when the preceding hsync pulse begins (I documented this at https://nyanpasu64.gitlab.io/blog/crt-modeline-cvt-interlaci...).

I also think that DP rouuuughly reflects CRT timings complete with active vs. blanking intervals, but doesn't actually have a fixed pixel clock (perhaps it does? I didn't quite figure out synchronous/asynchronous pixel transmission when reading the spec) and doesn't transmit hsync pulses once per scanline.
If you have multiple GPUs in a box, you often have to use the bottom slot as well as the close one. (Passing through dedicated GPUs to different VMs is one case that I’ve experienced.)
> I just want you to understand that you're coming across as if you want people not to discuss most things in their lives, because as you say, we're hardly experts on most things.

Thank you. If you have any suggestions as to how to make my point clearer, I'd greatly appreciate it. I hope it is clear now, but obviously I can always improve. I do want to promote discussions, but that also means wanting to decrease arguments. Especially arguments that are uninformed and ones which has a clear answer (or lack of) from the domain experts.

Where to draw the line of domain expertise is not clear, you're right. Academia is one example of a way to pass that line but I wouldn't say the only means as it is just a method that correlates with sufficient knowledge gain. But I also wouldn't say that watching some YouTube videos does not constitute expertise (more explicitly, videos by science communicators rather than lectures). The boundary is fuzzy, but that should put pressure to reduce confidence (which is good for science and truth seeking) rather than increase it.

Discussion is not only fine, but actively encouraged. We're having one right now and at least on my side I don't feel like this is a argumentative. I tried to clarify this previously but I guess this is difficult. I'm not sure how to make myself more clear so all I can do is ask that you read more carefully with the updated knowledge that there's a substantial amount that I agree with you on (differences are in finer points) and request that you point out specifically where what I said may be confusing or resulted in misinterpretation. Hoping that this can facilitate a better discussion, if you still wish to have one.

Interesting. I was reading a HN comment last month about how Australians are 'disgustingly... devoted to following tiny guidelines' [1], so it's interesting to hear this aspect of freedom. I'm generally not inclined to believe that Australians manage for themselves, given the previous comment was first and takes precedence.

> but since it doesn't tell you...it's not information that's particularly useful.

If it did it could be - if it could show how many applicants are actually qualified. Then a job board that listed more prominently jobs from responsive employers could get attention.

I'm not sure it's "jumping through hoops". In a well functioning company, providing evidence for a hiring decision is something that must happen anyway. How can the recruiter justify why they said yay or nay to a candidate? They might not remember the details but they're probably scoring candidates in broad categories. These categories tell you "90% don't have the right to work in the country never mind meet the job spec in other requirements".

If this data is available and isn't communicated to candidates there could be some other reason, likely that job boards make most of their money only from companies.

> Is it me, or do most software jobs cause burnout?

In my humble opinion, yes.

Unfortunately I cannot express myself accurately in English to convey
the message, but my personal conclusion is apply the 80-20 rule in
everything you do and you will see incredible results.

There are days where I cannot use more than 20% of my whole energy,
because my mental state is over-stimulated with data and unnecessary
information, that literally intervenes in my personal life and that is
when it becomes unhealthy and you need to draw a line and say "that is
enough; this is not normal".

I could be wrong, but I have the impression since the evolution of
modern web development with all these trendy JS, CSS, back-end,
front-end toys so-called frameworks, we get bombarded with bleeding-edge
technological achievements that we rush ourselves to catch up...and that
leads to mental exhaustion, fatigue, anxiety, and at some cases to
depression for being unable to catch up so you can compete with the
current market, let alone with younger people that just graduated and
their brains are like sponges.

> Huh… why does Docker require VMs on Linux? Isn’t the selling point of Docker that it uses the same kernel on Linux?

docker has been playing rather loose with security for quite a long time in the past, so I per-se wouldn't trust it to be secure

additionally there are (oversimplified) 3 ways to run it:

1. a "root" deamon, the default docker daemon setup in most distros and the way docker originally was designed to be used. This is needed for some advanced (non secure) features (which IMHO should not exist) but has pretty serve security issues IMHO, like either being in the docker group being a de-facto root/sudo or it forcing you to use sudo all the time and bugs in the docker deamon potentially leading to catastrophic exploits.

2. as a unprivileged user using cgroupsv2 like podman does by default, this has some limitations but works really well and as long as "linux containers" are secure it should be secure (oversimplified). Still the security of containers isn't perfect as they share the kernel. As a rule of thump only use if you get reliable kernel security updates.

3. starting VMs, much more overhead in many ways and needing virtualization, but works with old "outdated" kernels or hardened kernels(1) not allowing unprivileged cgroups

The 3rd method is the most secure and works across most dirstros/linux setups even if unusual setup and is the same kind of path docker takes on windows/mac. So no wonder a product like Docker Desktop uses it. Also the overhead of virtualization is today not "that" bad.

The the first method is still the default method for docker CLI on most linux distros is honestly far beyond my understanding. In the past pre reliable cgroups v2, maybe, but today omg no. It has some valid use cases, but the default should be VMs or unprivileged containers especially on desktop systems (whatever distro maintainers prefer).

----

(1): On instresting conflict is security hardening vs. unprivileged cgroups/containers. On one side unprivileged cgroups allow a lot of additional security. For example they allow running various sandboxes without needing a suid binary or using sudo for setting up the sandbox. Which is really grate. At the same time (oversimplified) it increases the security sensitive kernel interface by a non negligible margin, which isn't grate and hence why hardened linux often disables it by default.

EDIT: Sorry for the bad spelling, I need to go to bed.
