6 years in, no regrets.

I travel on the cheap (2-3 months per year), volunteer at a museum a few times per month, spend gobs of time with my spouse, and work on various artistic/craft projects.

Friendships have been challenging. I have less in common with people my age now. Long time friends are still friends. Coworker-friends drift away once you realize they weren't really friends at all, just colleagues.

No real friction except with super spendy friends (who are still climbing the ladder I jumped off of) who want to make spendy plans. No, we aren't going to drop 10k on a Greek Villa this summer. They have limited time and lots of money, for me, the opposite.

I don't miss work. At all. And I was passionate about it while I was in. Life has its seasons.

Worries in FIRE are mostly related to inflation. Healthcare costs have skyrocketed, and so has the cost of food. We planned a generous buffer and are fine, but the trend line is a bit concerning.
Does anyone know where the source code is, I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Not necessarily. No kill shelters exist.

But even if the shelter were to end up euthanizing the dog, at least it would be a last resort because they were unable to find any suitable home for him. That's still better than doing it because of a single event that was really the humans' fault.
It's not just screens, common lights produce too much melanopic light for evening use. It's definitely not trivial to pick light sources that are safe to use in the evening without interfering with our circadian rhythm, but it's possible.

And the same, in reverse, applies to workspaces/schools with not enough natural light (or a good simulation thereof).
Isn't that because view performs the procedure and access when the data is accessed? It's mainly meant so that you don't have to load all this memory in or stall when accessing the view, and if you don't need that capability, the regular algorithm stl is better.
To add an anecdote to this.

There was a proposal for a new branching strategy some 3-4 months ago. The team is still debating things.

Not only that, but one of the developers specifically asked the manager to make a decision, he punted, insisting that the team should be the one making the decision.

What makes it worse is that the decisions themselves don't actually matter, we just need a decision made and then communication on what that decision is. Something I expected to happen over 1-2 weeks has taken almost half a year now.

it's nuts.

The government in the West Bank also strangely holds the notion that they operate in unity with the Gaza Strip but Hamas says they are independent. This stopped the 2018 elections from happening because Hamas won’t agree that its candidates should adhere to treaties signed by Fatah.

The West Bank government also claims they can’t have elections unless it includes all Palestinians, including the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem residents. This stopped the 2021 elections because Israel wouldn’t enter any agreements ensuring the East Jerusalem residents could vote, and would not be penalized or disrupted from doing so.

I am largely more sympathetic to this waffling because the West Bank is relatively peaceful, and I can see an election that doesn’t include all Palestinians could create the precedence that the current divisions are valid.

But yes, I do think Fatah is also at fault.

Signal pays more for delivering verification SMS during sign-up, than for all other infrastructure (except traffic) combined. Wow, that sounds excessive.

No idea; I'm not a doctor/specialist in this area so my opinions are largely irrelevant. I choose to lean on those who are specialists/doctors to give guidance on treatment of the symptoms while other smart people attempt to figure out the root cause.

> Infant discharged to the wrong person

When our daughter was born, we didn't let her out of our sight until my wife left the hospital. Sure, they have these bracelets that prevent switching babies (which happened to my wife's grandmother in 1960ies Switzerland), but our worst nightmare was that someone simply took and walked out with her.
I did candle-only lighting and no screens at all after sundown for a couple weeks as an experiment one time. Candles (ones that don’t smell like a chemical processing plant, anyway) are expensive, inconvenient, and kinda dangerous, and demands of modern life make it hard to keep up, but my life-long “night owl” tendencies were cured in a couple days.

Why can’t we sleep? Because we keep an on-demand world-class carnival in our houses, and light them up super-bright at night. If you describe what we do and how we live, the cause of the overwhelming majority of sleep issues in our society is obvious. It’d be very surprising if that way of living didn’t cause widespread sleep issues.

You seem to have gotten a little side tracked. You claimed that Israel doesn't kill Palestinians - have you got a reputable source for this obviously false claim?
The proper title for this piece is "Europe's hidden security crisis". Ironically, the title it has now ("Could be bigger than Cambridge Analytica") is probably less likely to draw in readers, not more.

How is the water dripping on the window animated?
no you don't, you use a true RTOS instead.

linux RTOS is at microseconds granularity but it still can not 100% guarantee it, anything in cache nature (L2 cache, TLB miss) are hard for hard real time.

a dual kernel with xenomai could improve it, but it is not widely used somehow, only used in industrial controls I think.

linux RT is great for audio, multimedia etc as well, where real-time is crucial, but not a MUST.
Giving this to children is kinda scary. This is something your body produces already, and by supplementing might result in a dependency (body stops producing because it is already present).

I will be very curious how these studies pan out. Hopefully I'm just flat out wrong.
One of the main points of this article is to "just use locks", which glosses over a lot of technical complications about locking elements within a document. How long is the lock held? Can it be stolen from a user who has gone offline, or is still online but off to lunch, and we _really_ need to make this change before the presentation in an hour? What if the user comes back online and they have changes, but the lock was stolen - how are those changes reconciled to the document?

I am generally in favor of simpler is better, and if there is a way to build a collaborative experience without using CRDTs, then go for it. However, sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease, and solutions like locking may introduce more technical complexity than originally thought.

What a magnificent snarl of incentives for the SEC. The SEC wants disclosure for good reasons, but if you disclose because the hacker group is the one that reported it, that is essentially the "negotiating with terrorists" incentive structure. Ignore the report because it's the hacking group and it opens the defense for all companies to claim the report is made by the hacking group (because they can easily be deceptive about who is reporting). And so on and so on... what a mess.
As someone with a real Rx for ADHD/Narcolepsy, I noticed the same thing after several years.

After being on it for ~5 years it lost its magic and efficacy, so I
ended up introducing lifestyle changes in the form of a 5-color-a-day smoothie, exercise & sleep. Lifestyle changes were helpful, but not quite enough.

When I recently started back up, I noticed that Provigil was a bit too stimulating for me. And I've found a good balance in doing a 1/4 to 1/2 a pill. About 50-100mg dose + caffiene (coffee/tea/energy drink) instead of the typical 200mg.

And that's been quite a nice boost.

Adderall on the other hand is a massive dump of dopamine and focus, so the focus is there, but it's easy to become a stimulated zombie.
I wonder how can I disable the command key on my mac....
> Do you have an example?

It is hard to give a concrete example; this is more of a general sentiment.

In my experience, the internet does not necessarily magnify the worst tendencies, but rather on the web people are more honest and direct than in the real life. In the real life, people love to present themselves in a "masked" and "fake" way: nice and polite on the surface, but in reality waiting for the next opportunity to double-cross you.

On the internet, there is much less discrepancy between their masking and their behaviour: if you only look at the surface, the web might seem more toxic, because there is less masking and sugar-coating (i.e. more honesty). But if you are willing to look beyond the surface both of the real world and the web, you'll see the opposite: more honesty and less unexpected double-crossing.

Thus: if you are the kind of person that can easily be deceived by people who are "masking", "acting" and "faking" in the real world, then I can understand why you might consider the web to be a little bit toxic. But if you are willing to look beyond the surface, it is completely the other way round.
Why not do this for cars, and be done with the electric car nonsense?
None. Because at this point humanity is able to avoid all that s**. Or we go down in an epic battle royal.
And interestingly Firefox was not vulnerable because they sanitise the input (stripping XML) which as the report says, does lose them the features the XML offers on Windows.

Personally it seems to me those features should go through a more restricted channel from JS, like an API with a strict data structure and Firefox was right to sanitise it.
People keep saying that. I don't really understand why.

Sure, RS-25s were designed to be reusable. But it's not like they were being used for anything; they were just hanging out in a warehouse since the Shuttle days. If NASA was going to put them in a museum or something it would have already happened.

At least this way, they get used for what they were designed for.
Back in the 1980's this was the standard. Don't come back until dark.

Try that today and you'll end up in jail with your kids in a foster home.
Some people want to be good software developers, not just good website builders.

If you want to use low code website builders, feel free. If that suits your work style and the projects you're building, great.

But you will never develop the skills you need to actually build software. A person who spends their life using website builders instead of writing software will never be able to build their own website builder, for example.

Some of us actually like to have the skills to build the tools ourselves.

If you want to call that peer pressure, then sure. It's peer pressure to elevate your own experience and attain mastery, instead of settling for only ever using tools that other people built for you.
I think it's really useful on 'big' MCU, like the raspberry pi. There exists an entire real time spirit there, where you don't really use the CPU to do any bit banging but everything is on time as seen from the outside. You have timers that receive the quadrature encoders inputs, and they just send interrupt when they wrap, the GPIO system can be plugged to the DMA, so you can stream the memory to the output pins without involving the CPU (again, interrupts at mid-buffer and empty buffer).
You can stream to a DAC, stream from a ADC to memory with the DMA.
A lot of that stuff bypasses the caches to get a predictable latency.

Then the question becomes: "_SMS?!_". Nobody in Europe uses SMS.

I think I've cracked it though. I've noticed that Apple's service inside the U.S.A. is different to the level of service they provide outside of it (briefly; it's better). This led to the 60%+ market share there, whilst the rest of the world is Android dominated.

iMessage was adding cool features, and it makes sense that if most people you know already have it, there's no reason to look at things like WhatsApp. The rest of the (Android dominated world) had to look for something else for the same fun, which is why WhatsApp is the de facto messaging platform in Europe.
I submitted the link to this news because I feel it is important to discuss this kind of ridiculous ideas if only as an example of what not to do.

If users wan write their own key to the blockchain, then you didn't advance a bit, the verification problem is just deported to their blockchain public key (even if it is the same, you only know that, still not that the key belongs to the actual person it pretends to).

If it's Proton who writes the keys and acts as a source of trust, then it is a centralized situation and there is no need for a blockchain, a classic key server can do.

The immutable aspect of a blockchain could be sort-of interesting here (although security keys need to be changed every so often), but because of what I already said that essentially amounts to a classic case of TOFU (trust on first use) security, that doesn't need a blockchain either.
As far as I can understand, this is for Linux becoming an option when you need an RTOS, so for critical things like aviation, medical devices, and other such systems. It doesn't do anything for the common user.
The speed of light in a vacuum is always the same, but not through dielectric media such as water or glass. In diamond it is less than half the speed.
Here's a blog post that boils down to "Hey look, platform risk is bad, emmm kay?"

Yeah-- they probably knew that to begin with, but they wanted to cash out before the rug was pulled. It was a risk they took and it didn't work out. Don't feel bad for them, I don't.
The kind of conspiracies that happen all the time are tiny ones, and typically (and that's how the word is most often defined in text) about a small group planning to do something illegal.
The term "conspiracy theory" is instead used about when a (typically very large) group of people creates a conspiracy to suppress a scientific or factual truth, and that does not happen all the time - it's very hard to find even one case like that. So no, conspiracies, in this kind of context, does not happen all the time.
Well, for the purposes of observing the Cherenkov light it is fairly important the material is transparent at blue wavelengths :)
My car has zero autonomy. It's fine.
LMAO. They kinda deserved you used those keys for your own interests.
Are we talking about Level 2 or fast chargers?

Level 2 is similar in complexity to gas stations (beyond the handshake process being more finiky than trusting the user installed it correctly).

High speed chargers are incredibly more complex than gasoline. You need to delivery a specific voltage and amperage to the car and both of those numbers change continuously as the battery charges.

Note the article is about high speed not level 2.

While physically it might not be much more complicated (note pulling off that kind of charging at almost a kW is no small feat) certainly the software is more complicated.
If you’re not already aware, I encourage you to read about the bills that governors in Florida and Texas have been creating and passing. I think it challenges anybody (willing to accept that challenge) to choose between identifying as a made-up label and identifying as a human being. The “what” may not be particularly concerning, but the “how” and the “why” probably should raise some eyebrows.
It is saying that GTPs had killed of the chatGTP wrapper type apps like chatPDF
Which is weird, because I've never spoken with anybody who hasn't opted in. I think there's a legal disconnect somewhere, where the simple opt-in at the DMV doesn't end up counting as a 'real' opt-in.
Interesting. Not sure how this is different from Onlyfans and lots of money is going there.

I just want SCHED_IDLEPRIO to actually do what it says.
Exactly. Unknown risks. Unknown benefits. But let's medicate the kids.

I think we should do little placebo trials at home. Not double blind, obviously. But still the risks are known (none, except character damage maybe).
mlock your memory, test with cache miss and cache invalidation scenarios will help, using no heap for memory allocation, but it's a bit hard
My guess is not by much. Text doesn't require a lot of storage. After looking at a few random files my estimate is that the size of the full compressed dump would be about 30x (~10 GB)
is there any way they can reduce that cost?
That's evil, I like it
> A mechanical diesel will run basically whatever you can pump through its fuel system.

Not really true. They won't even run on gasoline, and if you put it in your tank by mistake it's probably going to be expensive.

Wild.

Does anyone know how scammers are getting numbers off of LinkedIn? Or correlating them to numbers from elsewhere? I know a company whose employees are constantly getting fake CEO texts.
I believe it. Very insignificant data point but - I've worked for small scale startups and larger scale enterprises, and in both cases you can see bots and crawlers trying to do random stuff. I don't think it was actually %70+ of the traffic, but can see specific types of businesses getting even more hits from them.
This is a paid service with limited quota based on your subscription level - seems hard to abuse? Your subscription has purchased X prompts, doesn't really seem to matter if a bot or a different user is making those X prompts.
Why is everyone still publishing on Medium?
I refuse to pay for it, write for free, and let the big corporation profit, ridiculous.
I do agree that people think differently these days vs 20 years ago, based on my own personal experience which is not nothing, and I would argue your "based on nothing" is based on your personal experience :-)

I like this articles point that the emotion of the moment is really what matters and the challenge for writers is to identify the emotion that is evoked through the wide smattering of situations a dynamic video game puts its players through.

I think it goes beyond video.

Back to speculating about society and its thinking, we spend a lot of time consuming media packages presented to us on our cell phones or tablets or computers. That's a repetitive process. This sounds like training to me. The mode is a screen or two screens if you've got multiple monitors, some kind of touch or hand-driven browsing device might come out or a touch screen. And yeah, the images can flicker on the screen like a captivating campfire, engorging you in a dazzling array of light and sound which can tickle your funny bone or involve you in a sad moment.

It's like life for all of us media consumers has become predictable, because you can visit and revisit these experiences.

Life of course is not that predictable, it is chaotic and as adults we only learn how to protect against the radically horrible potential outcomes of life through skills and learning from other people's mistakes.
Maybe copying the images themselves rather than doing it by hand.
"ideas are worthless, it's the execution that matters"

This is true. However, when a large corporation with a near unlimited supply of money becomes aware of your idea and executes, you probably don't really have a chance as a single-person founder.
Save you the click. Jasper raised $125 million on a 1.5B valuation. Their business is built on openai apis. "Long story short, OpenAI appears to be focusing its strategy for growth on making building AI tools easy by vertically integrating their solutions into higher abstraction layers… where the wrappers (companies built wrapping openai APIs) happen to be making their bucks.

I don't know that they killed them but perhaps the valuation needed a reset. Maybe cars with Ferrari body kits aren't worth the same as an actual Ferrari?
agree wholeheartedly.

The biggest problem with the post you responded to is this idea that decisions can't be revisited, that they're set in stone. Or that they're all equal. Neither is true.

_sometimes_ a decision needs to take longer because the ramifications are broad and recovering from a poor decision is difficult. this is rare, but does happen.

More importantly, if your company is struggling in this manner on a regular basis, you're working in a top-down authoritarian manner and are not giving the teams themselves (the boots on the ground, aka the executors) enough autonomy.

There are solutions to these problems but they generally involve not enjoying the authoritarian nature of both company hierarchies and software in general.
