Definitely sympathize, you are not alone. I have a wife and two young kids. I love her but for a long time my wife just did not consider me as "at work" when I was working remotely. She had zero qualms about coming into our home office to chat or see if I could change a diaper or whatever. I'm happy to help out if I'm between tasks (hell that's one of the perks of WFH, and everyone takes breaks wherever you're working. I'm taking one to write this post!) but it was all day every day and driving me up the wall. Plus toddlers don't care about work hours, if they want to see daddy they're going to come see daddy. We had plenty of conversations about how disruptive it is to have someone tap you on the shoulder while coding to ask if you can run to the grocery store for milk. But it never went anywhere. To her, if I was physically in the house, I was available to do stuff at any time.

To be honest we never "solved" it. Eventually the younger reached kindergarten age and my wife returned to full time work. I wish I had better advice. The suggestion to have a dedicated office space with a door is a good one, but if your partner does not respect boundaries that won't be enough. If finances allow, you could look at leasing a part time desk in a coworking space or even a dedicated office. I know it feels silly to pay for office space when you can do the job from home, but if it's damaging your relationship, it may be worthwhile. Some employers might even offer a stipend for remote workers to help offset costs. The fact that you refer to your partner as a nagging micromanager tells me something has to change.

I hope this post doesn't make me sound like a dick. I have immense respect for my wife for choosing to pause her career to care for our children. Raising kids is HARD, harder than the work I get paid for to be honest. We're partners in life and parenthood. But my role in the partnership at that time was to hold down a job and that's a lot harder to do when you're being interrupted 10 times a day. Hope you are able to work something out.
Do we know for sure he doesn't mean technical analysis? When discussing his strategy (6m 30s) he says:

> Looking at the patterns of prices, I could see that there was something to study, maybe some ways to predict prices mathematically and statistically.

And shortly after he speaks of doing way with 'the fundamental stuff'. And also:

> Gradually we found more and more anomalies, and you put together those anomalies and you get something that predicts pretty well.

It's making blanket assumptions that a) the question asker knows better, and b) that no one bothered to think of any of this to begin with. That's not a functional way to approach organizational problems like teams building the wrong thing. Never mind that, I'd wager oftentimes the IC standing up a new repo isn't the right tree to bark up anyway.

FWIW, I personally start new projects with a Software Design Intent document that explains what we're attempting to do and why with full disclaimers about what we do and don't currently know. Maybe I've just managed to hedge these people out.

Eh, the problem is the city is now incredibly built up. New stations have to be built even deeper than before to avoid hitting building foundations and utilities.

Those earlier companies had the ability to do mostly what they wanted, including building incredibly piss-poor stations that can't withstand the test of time, while making it near impossible to renovate the station because they cut every corner possible and included no bypass tracks.
Yes. We're not sleepwalking to an uninhabitable dystopia, we're sprinting towards it. We may all be in for some serious problems in 5 to 10 years. I'm not a climate scientist, this is just an uninformed opinion, but everything I'm reading has me very worried.
Capitalism is not dead, then. The destination of unregulated capitalism has always been feudalism.

Unfortunately the lords think they will be able to survive in little mansions and that climate change will never make them miserable personally. So they have spent small amounts of capital brainwashing rubes against taking any action so they can continue raking in large amounts of capital with destructive practices.

If your cardio capacity drops enough you get all the same symptoms as long covid. This probably happened to a lot of people from being less active over the pandemic or from getting covid or both.
> It provides me with a sense of community that I lack in my life. I am driven by technology but not a lot of other people in my life are interested in these things.

You should try to find meet ups and/or hacker spaces if you live near an actual city. I've been to several countries and have always been able to find those (well, ok, except when I was in rural France with the closest real city a 1h30+ min drive or so).
We now suspect that many pre-2020 ME/CFS cases were caused by a viral infection, so in some sense it is Long-Flu or Long-RSV, but we just don't call it that.

I myself still have long-term issues from a non-Covid viral infection a few years back, probably RSV.
As you suspect, there's a ton of work involved in "rebranding" beyond just replacing a logo and a favicon. The domain is one. All the official accounts are also named @Twitter, @TwitterBusiness and so on. The name may pop up in software identifiers, URLs, names, app names & app icons. They've not even started on any of this work.

In fact, even their official brand kit is still... Twitter's brand kit. Unchanged: https://about.twitter.com/en/who-we-are/brand-toolkit

This is what happens when you rebrand with zero planning and without telling your own employees about it ahead of time.

Fixing all those "remnants" of the Twitter brand will take the work of hundreds of people countless days, and yes there's a risk of breakage, as with any change. Work and risks which are completely pointless, as it's a needless brand change.

It's still up in the air whether they'll start making real changes, like twitter.com redirecting to x.com instead of the other way around.

Why?

Because aside from being unprepared for it, a tons of problems are cropping up with the X brand, such as people's negative reaction to it, and the legal issues of thousands of companies in the US and around the world having registered the X trademark for various applications, including payment apps, video apps, chat apps, messaging apps.

This means if Musk proceeds, he may get a bunch of trademark violation lawsuits on top of all other lawsuits he's dealing with.

I expect in a week or two, he'll play it as "lol just kidding, it was a prank bro" and revert to the usual Twitter brand. He always does this when he screws up, and unfortunately I'm painfully aware of the pattern at this point.

Unfortunately he already defaced the Twitter signage on the SF office. But at this point we can only shrug and accept Twitter is going down the drain anyway, so who cares.

I doubt there are controlled studies, but you can probably make a reasonable hypothesis based on viewing habits at different ages. Old people in 1993 watched Bonanza reruns; in 2023 they’re hooked to the constant crisis of cable news.

Anecdotally, I’ve definitely seen a shift in corporate comms as people gravitate to IM and text as opposed to email, driven both by habit and by avoiding accountability as email audit has become common.

In NYC, the MTA runs both so they are technically consolidated, but changing car widths on a live subway system that is used by millions of people every day is on the list of very difficult problems.

For example, if you wanted to conform the IRT lines in NYC (the numbered lines + the 42nd Street Shuttle) to the BMT/IND lines, you would need to (at minimum), update every platform (to back the edge away from the train), probably update every place two tracks are parallel and too close together, probably also update some of the routing and tunnels to enable a larger turning radius, and reapprove all of the tracks (including elevated portions) to support heavier trains.

Since all of the lines (barring the 7 and S) overlap at different points, you can't just make these mutually exclusive changes to one line at a time; you would have to shut down the whole system to make the changes, eliminating service to huge areas of the city for months (if not years).

Eh, I'd consider that a failure of employee training and reverse the situation by giving out a weekly bonus to shifts that did not fail to put the security stickers on.

Kinda like if they forgot to put the security seal on your aspirin, I'm not going to take them all off because someone forgot to run production with all the bottles sealed.
Yeah, the benefits here are pretty cool to think about. The ability to say "you can't access this sensitive web resource until you attest that your system is up to date and an antivirus has run in the last week" is huge. The problem is that sites could also say "and you don't have an adblocker installed".

One option would potentially be to only allow positive assertions - ie: "You are up to date" not "you are not running this". TBH I think that would address a major concern for me.

Every trading strategy involves looking at the past price of a stock. Technical analysis involves looking at the past price and nothing else. That's quite literally the definition. Everyone is going "oh you can do that but also do XYZ other things". Well sure, but at that point it isn't technical analysis.

> The hiring market is a market. Prices in a market are set by supply and demand.

Demand for software engineers is partially explained by the value software engineers generate.

The value a job creates is obviously a factor. Imagine a job that creates absolutely no value but has a limited supply of qualified people. It wont even exist let alone pay anything.
This may be the wrong way around. If the example use case is that a colleague asks how something works and I respond via Slack with Prosona, shouldn't they have just asked Prosona or something like it? Why am I in the loop now? If they need a status update, how will Prosona have access to information which is not in my head, but also not accessible to my colleague?

I do appreciate exploration of AI in different settings, but I feel like any tool that only works in one of my screens isn't going to be what wins 10 years down the line.
> It should matter, a lot, that even a group of scientists who believed a lab leak idea was plausible couldn't muster up an argument that would hold up under peer review

I think Nate would say that the problem is that the paper literally said that such a scenario was "implausible" while the authors believed the opposite.

In the "more studies are needed" section, the authors could have explained what questions remained and what data might have resolved them. I suspect Silver would have considered that more honest.

If I know for a fact that a company is about to collapse and I establish a short position, will anybody notice? It depends on a lot of factors, but I could make an assload of money on puts without nudging the market.

Technical analysis is all about answering the question: are you able to filter who know something vs those that don't merely by looking at a buy signal? The answer: no, not really. Insiders acted well in advance of the SVB issues being made public, and there are lot of other examples of people making guaranteed bets that weren't obvious in the technicals. The noise is just too much.

By the time the signal is clear, the market has "priced" it in, and now you're just trying to predict the random actions of the know-nothing crowd.

Technicals are always after-the-fact. Since enough people with deep knowledge have to have already moved on that information in order for the market to have reacted to it.

It's much like trying to predict a fire by watching a crowd running away and hit the fire alarm. You didn't predict the fire and you can't have predicted the fire. Maybe you could have noticed one person booking it for the exit and follow along, but you still didn't know what was happening and were going on blind faith.
I'm not a climate scientist but I'd reason that the tropics would experience greater heating resulting from the stagnation of the warm water that would previously circulate. More warm water in the tropics would result in more frequent and more intense hurricanes, so if the AMOC stops then we'll see even more extreme weather records smashed.

While I dislike the elecronification trend, cars are definitely better than they were 30-40 years ago, in a completely different league when it comes to reliability. Plenty of people also like the touchscreens or seemingly superflous features like Tesla's dog mode. Not gearheads but many normies genuinely do.

To the extent that cars did get worse, it was mostly to meet stringent emissions regulations, not computers or capitalism. So yeah, maybe worse for owners but better for people around them.

Sadly, it seems like capitalism, yet again, delivered what people really wanted, whether it's shitty toy cars or algorithmic Tik Tok feed. It held a mirror to the society and we don't like what we're seeing.

Thank you.

I grew up a bit like this. For long periods we turned the electricity off - to save money, not on principle - so in the evenings I read by candlelight. Indeed it's hard. It wasn't so difficult to do because we lived in the country and didn't need to "sync" with other people.

I'm thinking how to replicate some of this in my life now. It's difficult because I also want to write, blog, do research, and other screen-related things. OTOH I feel there's something very wrong about spending 10 hours of your day on-screen.

I wonder if there's room for a community to try to do some of this stuff together.

My gag was a bird chirp that would play every so often--typically minutes between chirps. There were several random numbers that went into making the chirp so it would be different every time and every noise it made would be shifting frequency, never a moment of a fixed tone (back when speakers usually just went BEEP.) Leave it running on a machine that wasn't being used...
This is awesome, thanks

You're quite welcome. I assume based on the SmartDNS documentation that the developers had not heard of Unbound as they were making comparisons to dnsmasq which I do still use for DHCP now that ISC has deprecated their original dhcp daemon and I found ISC's replacement of Kea to be a little over-complicated for my setup.

I think based on the description of your latency issues that Unbound should fit the needs as you can just load up all the DoT providers you can find and then use Unbound's commands to view the infrastructure stats and even keep running stats if you wish. If you enable extended stats they can be imported into Munin or other performance graphs or just trust it will pick the fastest. Unbound can be tuned as desired or required to use the fastest upstream resolvers. Like you I also increase min-ttl. I also increase that for infrastructure cache ttl as well. This is useful if you should decide to not use DoT/DoH as Unbound can keep track of the name server IP's to reduce time to first packet.

If you temporarily enable query logging to a tmpfs mount to avoid disk write penalty then you can write a script to find the most common names you request and then create a cron job to prefect the NS and/or A records for domains that you visit often. The cron would need to run at a lower interval than your min-ttl if the desire is to keep everything in cache. You can also tell Unbound to prefetch records, it's just not as aggressive or explicit.

# bind8 behavior, useful if not using DoT forwarders
target-fetch-policy: "-1 -1 -1 -1 -1"

# or bind9 behavior sortof, less overhead if using forwarders
target-fetch-policy: "3 2 1 0 0"
What you say is true to an extent but its still easier because there are less or less qualified candidates.
I shoot with the local SCA, but they don't really know much about this.

Youtube have several people that goes through the techniques. Justin Ma and his buddies spent time reconstructing the techniques from Gou Ying's late-Ming manual on traditional Chinese _military_ archery. The core techniques are available for free on Youtube, and the rest of it is in a book called _Way of Archery_. I think Justin Ma is based out in Bay Area so you might be able to find out where they shoot. Armin Hirmer also has a number of youtube resources (with variant techniques), and a large library of reviews for bows.

The key thing with Justin Ma's videos is that they focus on the form. I took it to mean that accurate shooting is a byproduct of good form -- from the draw, to the release. The biggest initial hurdle is in contacting the rhomboids and lats to provide the power to draw. The key to the thumb draw is that, you are trading off being able to distribute the load to multiple fingers with having a very clean release; meaning, if your thumb release is not clean, it's an anti-pattern.

Most of my practice is with the gaozhen -- shooting at about 1 - 3 yard range, and focus mostly on good form. Other Asiatic archery traditions practice this way. I'm not there yet where everything draws smooth without me having to concentrate yet, but that's the goal. You can create a gaozhen in your own home if you got the space and can keep dependents away from them. (I saw a video of a guy practicing in his unfinished attic).

Keep in mind too, if you are looking at traditional Chinese archery, there were many schools (all thumb draw), with different goals. Confucian archery, for example, is ritualistic. The Manchus have a strong hunting tradition that became a part of their military techniques.

Facebook has a group of traditional archery enthusiasts. I would also be glad to talk about what you would need to get started and the gotchas I had to overcome. (Example: most Western archers don't know that arrow weight, not just spine, matters for these bows) Feel free to contact me if you want to continue talking about this.
