> I am in a business (non-tech) role and I really love this job and I also don't want to be fired. I am unable to find other jobs as surprisingly I am overqualified because of my age (35+) and work exp (15+). I am a manager but in IC role.

It sounds like you don't really know/understand what your job is, i.e. what your company expect you to deliver. Hopefully your PIP has very specific, actionable information in this.

If you're in a "business", "IC" role, how much business are you actually brining in?

Mid-career in tech is a tough period, try to use this as an opportunity to reflect and do some soul searching about exactly what your value proposition is. As you say, there is little demand for 15 years of work experience, and typically only management or highly specialized roles will see that as an advantage.

>Sure, but Occam’s Razor applies. Why go to such lengths to sow disinformation in a private communication? It would have been far simpler for Hal to have just responded at a different time rather than leaving this proverbial needle in the haystack that would have never been revealed had Hearn not published the emails.

Occam's Razor, as the author enjoyed using, would suggest that someone knowingly creating a rival to a hegemonic currency system would need plausible deniability as to who they are and what they are doing. Having a partner in crime would not be inconceivable and they wouldn't need to be Satoshi.

"Hal used tabs while Satoshi used spaces (this is a massive never-ending debate between developers)

Hal preferred his debug statements not to be indented while Satoshi’s maintained indentation with surrounding code

Hal made comments with block style multi-line markers while Satoshi preferred to create many single-line comments with double slashes

Hal used snake_case for his function names while Satoshi used camelCase

There are probably far more differences that are more subtle, but these jumped out from just a few minutes of eyeballing the codebases."

These are irrelevant. Someone of Hal's intelligence and skill who was a decades long cypherpunk would understand the importance of obfuscating ones own styles. Lastly, I find it interesting that the Silicon Valley elite did the ice bucket challenge 2 weeks before Hal died.

I completely agree with you.

The fact that we can take ideas and serialize them into language doesn't mean the language and the ideas are the same thing. They become ideas again when we deserialize them into our minds.

Language models can't do that (something else more complex could, but then it would not be just a language model).
That sounds like one of these reasons that people come up with to justify their unwillingness to pay.

Are you also boycotting every other large company that uses the tax system in a legal way that you don't agree with? I'm all for big companies paying their fair share, but I'm not blaming the company, I'm blaming the people in charge who don't close these loopholes. Same issue as with Ireland in the EU, undercutting all the other EU countries with tax rates.

> The biggest problem I've seen with architecture diagrams is they fall out of sync with the code base. In my opinion, automatic generation of these diagrams is necessary.

Architecture diagrams document how the software is expected to be organized. They represent the goal, not the current state. The code needs to comply with the diagram, and not the other way around.

The only scenario where it makes sense to generate diagrams from code is when we have people trying to onboard to a project that's not documented, and even then these diagrams are only generated once, polished to remove noise, and from that point onward serve as the reference.

That's a nice quote from the article
It’s obviously someone or a small group in this circle. Continuing to keep a low profile makes a lot of sense given all the negativity surrounding Bitcoin and the criminal figures that might come looking for Satoshi’s keys.

What if Len forgot, when he took his own life, that he was the only one with the private key to the Satoshi wallet? Even if he wasn’t the only or even primary author that could explain that wallet being dead.

These frameworks provide value to the employer, not the developers, because it eases candidate selection and turns otherwise unqualified developers into less capable commodities. In that regard the value is entirely regressive because it requires more of the less capable people to perform equivalent work that does not achieve disproportionate scale, which is the economic goal of automation. If the given developers only return value directly proportional to their manual efforts they are merely overpaid configuration experts on top of data entry.
What the heck is it with calling everything “clickbait” these days? This is an article entire about the location of Forrest Fenn’s treasure. Calling the article title “clickbait” makes me wonder if you know what clickbait is, or what article titles are.
If it's "poured" into the market, the value will crash so whoever's trying to sell them won't make as much money. That said, at this point, any activity in that wallet will cause a huge stir in the community.

That said, there's probably a nontrivial amount of processing power currently being used to crack that wallet / find the secret key.

A theory is that Satoshi themselves lost access to their own wallet, so if there is activity, it may mean someone got the private key.

Anyway yeah, it is a huge risk, and it's proven by the billions scammed from people when new coins were created and the creators themselves held onto a lot of the coins themselves to sell when the hype cycle is trending upwards.
I currently pay $5/month to the Kevin Richardson channel as a member and have been a member since inception for over 4 years now. When I went to the members section of YouTube to view my members-only videos I received the blocking message and was denied access to the video player. This is in addition to other wildlife charities for which I send monthly donations directly.

I use uBlock Origin on YouTube specifically to work around many UI issues related to their recommendations and player. I will not turn it off. One example is that they will not honor my closed-caption settings on all videos so I have a filter rule to remove the call to the captions URL to eliminate them. That's one of countless issues.

They are now denying me access to a service for which I do actually pay for. I consider that to be illegal.

My proposal is simple:

* Give me an option to pay for what I use. I do not want music, 99.9% of live streams, news, or tons of the other content they try to force on me for money-making purposes.
* Make the price reasonable. The videos I watch are primarily educational lectures. This really shouldn't cost much more than the price of disk storage and network egress (both of which are cheap at scale).
* Give me a recommendations and preference system that actually work. I spend more time curating my list of videos than watching anything meaningful to my interests. At one point I was watching 2 luthiery channels and "guitar necks" came up as a category. What the ever living fuck? Related yes, but not quite the topic I really want to focus on. I would remind people that this is a multi-billion dollar company with PhDs that has changed the face of AI and hyper-scale computing as we know it.
* In general, operate like a long-running business... offer good value to your paying customers. Now that the customers are not advertisers, Google will need to rethink their sales strategies. They have not yet convinced me.

I was in the same group when I wanted to try Mercury (another Prolog-like language, but with ML-like types).

Someone on Mercury's mailing list took pity on me, and told me to just straight up try some Prolog.

Prolog, at least the basics, isn't hard at all, and it takes maybe a day to get you to write something that works. Of course, every language has its inconsistencies, dark corners and unexpected turns, and, sometimes some very deep and general pieces of wisdom that aren't on the surface. But, really, if you want to understand any Prolog derivative, the best way I can think about, is to learn some Prolog. It's the most efficient way to the goal. It doesn't really take long.

If Satoshi cashed out even a single satoshi the market would crash because now the odds of him cashing out the rest will have just risen dramatically.
Exactly my point. But if you are a manager, you might wanna consider if that is the incentive structure you wanna have at your organization: People who do good work get "punished" with more work, people who keep it low don't.

I certainly have left jobs because of that.
There's no end to that game of efficiency. You end up with either ascetic monk life people or asking for population reduction measures.

If you're annoyed about low efficiency of ordering food, what do you think of vacation traveling, hobbies, any sort of vehicles etc. Most efficiency would be to have no humans with our superfluous wants and needs. Otherwise you're just shaming others for doing things you happen not to like, while forgetting all the useless things you do. Surely you have done consumist purchases that weren't required for your immediate survival or health preservation before.
I hate this take on optimization.

Honestly, I'm not sure what all this means. Maybe an example would help?

It sounds like there's an interest in the database inferring something subtle and making some kind of automated decisions based on that. Business stakeholders often make this kind of request - "can't an AI just figure all this out?" kind of thing. It often doesn't go anywhere because it's too far removed from the level of detail needed for a machine to automatically solve a problem.

> About using mental illness as a way of gaining sympathy/popularity. Unfortunately I have to agree with the parent, it does seem to be true.

I see this too. I know people with real mental health issues that cripple them and I know people who like to use “mental health day” as a fad excuse du jour to just take a day off because “they don’t feel like working today”. The people I know with the real, crippling mental health issues generally don’t get over it in an afternoon of watching movies and being lazy—it’s usually days and weeks of agony.

So in my mind if people are using mental health just as an excuse to take a day off they are definitely doing damage to those folks who actually suffer from crippling mental illness by minimizing what it really is…because if Sally can sort out her mental issues by binge watching a show on Netflix in an afternoon, why can’t Frank get over his inability to get out of bed for three days by doing the same thing?
> Enabling NVMe boot is pretty easy, you add a line to /boot/config.txt, modify the BOOT_ORDER in the bootloader configuration, and reboot!

and where is this /boot/config.txt stored? On the NVMe or on a SD card? (honestly asking)

On a regular computer, I don't need to touch /boot/config.txt to decide where I boot from: I set that in the BIOS/UEFI.

Basically: do you still need a SD card to begin the boot or can the Pi 5 boot directly from the NVMe SSD?

Or maybe you need to boot from a SD card only once, to change that setting (which is then stored... where?), then you can remove the SD card for good and it'll now boot from the NVMe?

Or is this something you can do without even needing a SD card?
