A mere 25k lines of self contained C++,…

Oh come on now, about 7.5k of those lines are comments and/or blank lines. Furthermore, a good chunk of the code is devoted to type checking, thorough error handling, compiler compatibility and/or workarounds, etc, all within the restrictions of C++11.

… bundled in a single header as the one true distribution format.

Yes, build systems are a significant pain point for C++ and C. Many users prefer to largely avoid the issue and use header-only libraries. That said, Conan and vcpkg are making genuine strides at improving the issue.

I note the CI cmake script at a thousand lines of cmake.

This is ridiculous. It’s a CI script running multiple test suites over dozens of compiler versions, of course it’s going to be a lot. Would it make you feel better if that CI script didn’t exist? If not, then what’s the “correct” size for CI script?

That's a very idiomatic representation of a C++ library, thank you for the example.

The library is genuinely good. It’s portable, well tested, user friendly, and widely supported. Your snark is unwarranted.
That’s my point. Even in massive outlier upside cases getting a 1% equity deal at seed is not really worth more than just being a standard FAANG worker. And that requires many rounds of funding an and dilution and an exit. It’s worth remembering exits are very hard right now and founders have far more liquidity options. There have been multiple unicorns I’m aware of in the past 5 years with founders taking 8 figures in secondary and employees getting nothing. Now those unicorns have worthless equity for employees and the founders are on the beach.

Only time I'm laying awake at 4 AM and thinking about bad choices is when my back hurts so much from having stupidly strained it a few days before that it's better to stay up half asleep and desperately tired than lay in bed awaken by back pain.

So one advice: take care of your back. It's easy to sprain it, hard to heal it back. You're a developer who mostly sits all day, not a pit worker handling a pickaxe all day. Beware especially of overloading your back due to unavoidable social situations. A friend asks you to help him move the furniture. A stranger asks you to help him pick up his handicapped spouse who felt to the ground. Some neighbors decide to do maintenance work around the block themselves (because they enjoy it but you don't) and make you feel guilty if you don't join the communal effort with a pickaxe (literally, that's what happened to me two days ago and now I'm agonizing with back pain).

Protect your back at the cost of being rude or a jerk.

(Or just check ryanair directly)

No idea if copying the link just works, but here it offers me flights starting from 14€ for this month.

Not that I recommend flying with them. They are cheap. And I like it save (and have ethical concerns about unnecessary flights).
But many people use that bargain to fly so cheap for just a few days and then head back.

So, let's define personality. I think this definition[[0] from the APA Dictionary of Psychology makes sense:

Personality is any person's collection of interrelated behavioral, cognitive and emotional patterns that comprise a person’s unique adjustment to life.

Now, let's define 'cognitive'. For that we'll rely on Merriam-Webster. Their definition[1] says:

of, relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity (such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering)

So, at a minimum I think a being needs to be capable of reasoning to have a personality.

The shorter answer is I think a personality can be a combination of innate behavioral traits, but it also has to be things like temperament, likes, dislikes, to some extent skills, and similar things shaped in part by environment.

That only helps those with strong unions. Those with strong unions are often hugely overpaid (train drivers in the UK for example - one reason are trains are expensive).

The cause of the problem is that real estate is a good investment asset.

The way to solve the problem is making it a bad investment asset.

The best way to do it is to tax real estate progressively. The more you own, the higher percentage of its value you must pay every year.

That taxation scheme would make investors drop millions of houses on the market like a hot potato.

Prices would tank. This might cause issues with real estate as mortgage collateral. So that needs to be reformed first. Bank would need to be forced by law to accept swapping collateral for another of the same value. Regardless of the current price of the collateral and its replacement. They should also be forced to consider mortgage fully paid once they decide to end the loan and take posession of the collateral.

Also no bailouts. Banks are companies. Superpower of companies is that they can die. Let them.
I highly recommend strength training. To anyone. But especially us developers.

Big compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, rows etc all hit a lot of muscle and posterior groups and have made my back bullet proof.

For me personally I've only recently connected the dots. Collectively as a society we are currently talking about carbon-neutral vs carbon-negative, global warming and clean energy. As someone who fell for that narrative for quite some time, I can see why. The more uncomfortable but in my opinion significantly more compelling answer to what stands in the way of a sustainable human co-habitation of planet earth, is: not CO2 emissions, it's modernity. The writing by Tom Murphy drove that point home for me.

One example: https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2024/03/lets-make-a-deal/

> Energy transition aspirations are similar. The goal is powering modernity, not addressing the sixth mass extinction. Sure, it could mitigate the CO2 threat (to modernity), but why does the fox care when its decline ultimately traces primarily to things like deforestation, habitat fragmentation, agricultural runoff, pollution, pesticides, mining, manufacturing, or in short: modernity. Pursuit of a giant energy infrastructure replacement requires tremendous material extraction—directly driving many of these ills—only to then provide the energetic means to keep doing all these same things that abundant evidence warns is a prescription for termination of the community of life.

The thing is, YC heavily signals against solo founders.

So it seems like there could be a lot of adverse selection in your data where good solo founders don’t bother applying, or good solo founders take on value destructive cofounders just to satisfy YC.

That’s then a vicious cycle where YC sees increasingly lower quality solo founders which reinforces their opinions and data about solo founder outcomes.

How is living in a 1200 sqft "suffering"?

My spouse and I also went for the kids when we were financially stable, and now we live in a 1500 sqft home, and I don't see why would we need a bigger one. We both work from home, the kids have their own rooms, we even have a tiny guest room.

What would I do with a 2400 sqft one? Cleaning and maintaining thus one is already a lot of work.

In a situation where there is a housing crisis all over the West, building bigger houses, except for a niche market that does exist, just doesn't make sense.
Also, I have seen several times someone "following their passion" and doing something that was not required by the business. The end result is a huge mess of overcomplicated things that doesn't do what was needed and no one else can fix.

Many times the business just needs a boring old solution for a tedious problem that no one would be passionate about, and it's normal to engage in that kind of grind.

I would change that advice to "do what you are passionate about, among the things that the business needs, and understand that sometimes you just can't do that".

On the other hand I have seen several devs who were just good at quickly tackling whatever was necessary at the moment and became very successful without ever showing a sign of passion for computing. For them it's just a craft and they go do some hobby after that.

What makes a "world" for me is that there are a few basic rules from which all the gameplay can be derived; something where the basic axioms don't generate a rich theory is just "on rails" and at best a trivial world (something where the basic axioms generate anything and everything is even worse: a degenerate world).

What makes a machine "personal" for me is that I need to engage by putting in some creative input in to get anything out; doodling on a sheet of paper is personal, but clicking on and desultorily reacting to some external stream is impersonal.

In these senses, the "engagement" of the monetised web is neither personal nor a world:

The autopilot algorithm is about a 100 lines of code contained in a single function here:

https://github.com/susam/invaders/blob/0.9.0/invaders.html#L...

Although the code looks long, the essence of the algorithm is pretty simple. At first, it scans the neighbourhood of the player to find all the falling boulders that are too close to it (determined by SCAN_WIDTH). These boulders are the threats to the player.

If the threat is coming directly from then top, then it decides to move either left or right to avoid the falling boulder. To do so, it first determines if it can safely move in either direction without being hit by other boulders in the neighbourhood. Based on the result, it moves either left or right.

If the player is blocked on both sides, i.e., it can neither move left nor right without being hit by a falling boulder, as a last resort, it positions itself to directly aim at the boulders.

Finally, if there is no immediate threat, then the autopilot seizes the opportunity to aim directly at the invading ships.
