Options you could consider:

1. Taking a significant sabbatical (6-12 months) if you have runway for it

2. Meeting with people you trust (e.g. past colleagues) and discuss your situation openly

3. Switching role. People & strategy could lead to product management (but PM roles comes with their own suite of frustrations)

4. Finding a mentor or a coach and find what drives you. It's there, hidden somewhere in the pile of work that you left behind.
dramatically improved battery life is also a side-effect of disabled wifi, too
> It's just gluing two files together, it's got to be a very popular operation, about as popular as "prepend the contents of file A to file B".

Realistically I don't think that's going to happen very often. What would be the use case? The only case I can think of is something like tar where you pack up a bunch of files as a single file, and you usually do compression at the same time in that case.
Inaccessible to 99% of users, but an escape hatch for the 1% who might make a useful fuss. Evil genius.

I was under the impression that Uber has to act as a pure play buyer-seller matching system. Otherwise the drivers aren’t independent contractors, they’re being controlled like employees.
> ...to get new PC gamers onto an alternative for there to be a considerable shift away from Windows.

Have you tried Steam on Linux? It works amazingly well, either with native Linux support in games or through Proton support (their Windows emulation layer). Quite a few people I know have gone that route and are shocked at just how well it works in practice.
In the US, it's a spice mix for cooking chili. (AKA "chili con carne," a popular meaty, spicy stew.) Chili powder has a bit of cayenne but mostly cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.

I can imagine it being different outside the US, but this store was in Seattle so you can see my confusion.
Does anyone know if Windows 11 Pro does this too ?
Could you expand? That's close to what I've been thinking about in terms of my future.

One thing that I worry about is that there seem to be quite a lot of competition in the space and to give clients I feel I would have to go through an Uber of laser cutters. At least that was an impression I've got after ordering a few parts through something like that.

How did you start our transition to it? What is your specialty? Etc.
Not the GP but I use a headless Linux server VM through Virtualbox. I mount the Linux filesystem as a drive in Windows to use whatever editors on the Windows side and run any server processes (or command line utilities) on the Linux side. I've used this setup for over a decade without any complaints and the maintenance is low.
We normally use Asus.

Asus isn't necessarily clean, but it's not outright dirty either, unlike Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung. I don't think anything these days is clean, Android or iOS. At the very least, you have spyware sending analytics, but at least avoid spyware using your data to train AI.

(Context: I code portable tools like building valuation, parking fines, election campaigning, condo security management)

But for personal use I got an iPad mini. The price of an iPad is not much higher than Android tabs. Ironically it's because I don't like the gated ecosystem, but because it's not something I'll use day to day, it's an opportunity to have something that can run Apple apps. Apple tends to attract better art, productivity, & notebook tools too.
exactly. Also, there's so much adventure to be experienced, so much beauty to appreciate. It's worth it. Also, the world _does not have to be experienced as constantly dangerous_ and it's important to allow a respite from that message.

That the world is dangerous is self-evident, but it's not interesting to me to force that message into places it ought not be. And I think adults conceptions of 'the world is dangerous' does not always match the harm as experienced by children. They know the world is dangerous. They experience it all the time.

How do you like it? I find myself gravitating to this as well. The little projects I've made have been outrageously fulfilling, like the first days when I was writing code.

I think if you found a niche (like Shop Nation did on YouTube/Etsy) you could do quite well?

Do you find the lack of a boss and the BS of a typical corp job freeing?
IANAL, but you are never allowed to intentionally cause a collision; if you slam on your breaks when someone is tailgating you, with the intent of causing them to hit you, my understanding is that it's your fault.
Yes, because USA is a founding member of NATO, and, along with other NATO members, is obliged to protect any NATO members under attack with military force.

(As a homework, consider the consequences if the USA refused to follow on with this obligation.)

But you're currently overpaying for ice cream on days when it isn't hot! You just don't realize it.

Meanwhile, the dude with the ice cream truck already charges more on hot days than on regular days, and no one cares.
Not by saying "no" you can't. You have to fuck around with shift+F10 and oobe stuff. This was tested on 23H2 yesterday.
I think the 90's Antitrust battle was long and painful for everyone, and the hope was that the lessons from the fallout of it from it would carry forward in OS design.

But the staff has turned over and nobody remembers it anymore, so here we go again. (see also: The rise of Fascism worldwide as WW2 veterans die off)

That said, a Web Browser was/is a disproportionately significant application for the OS, where preferential defaults and bundling raise anti-trust concerns. Not so with a cloud backup option. TBH, Apple has been/remains equally annoying with iCloud integration/upsells on both OSX and iOS. And nobody cares.

Too cold, not enough oxygen, too much radiation, poor soil conditions, not enough water --- pick one, or all the above.

You point out that there's actually a lot of competition, but that consumers prefer Apple. Isn't this contrary to your greater point?
It also sucks for the riders and I really can't imagine Uber likes the situation either.

It's a really annoying situation because you end up arguing with some driver over text or worse in person about it.

They don't want to cancel because cancelling a lot impacts their rating with uber and they will get less rides.

I don't want to cancel because after a few minutes I'll be charged a cancellation fee and now I have to start all over with another driver and a dice-roll if i'll get another driver who refuses to go to NYC again. If I want my $5 back I also have to argue with some AI customer service rep for an hour.

Terrible user experience.

Lyft seems to do better with assigning only TLC cars to NYC rides, but, not 100% -- Uber also biases towards TLC cars for NYC routes but there isn't always one available of course so sometimes you get assigned another one, just anecdotally Lyft seems to get you a TLC car more often.

TLC are the only ones winning here.
You're technically correct, ofc, but I feel this is a red herring.

Sure, all fairy tales have oral origins, and with Grimm you even various translations over the years.

Nevertheless, me, my parents, and their parents were all reading basically the same thing, and often the exact same book. That is, the books have been around over 150 years and have become canon in their own right. It is the sanitization of those books that people are objecting to.

So you can't just say "hey these things come from an ever-evolving oral tradition and this is just one more evolution". That doesn't accurately describe what is happening.
Is it though? I mean yes, but one argument I would have against overly glorifying some of these fairy tiles is that the way the world is dangerous today is very different from the way it was two hundred years ago.

It simply works. It's amazing what does now Wine/Proton
Why is Win11 such a pain though? I don't get it. You had Win10 that worked just fine and they went on and fucked it up to what gain? Did they manage to sell more of other products in their lineup? And you do all that when Apple has its own silicon and produces superb laptops that could lure a lot of people in their ecosystem. I understand that Windows isn't the cash cow it used to be, they've moved to greener pastures like Azure, but still why mess up your main trademark product and piss off so many of your users? What's the end goal here?
tl;dr: Microsoft reinvented the Mixed Mode Manager from Mac System 7.1.x circa 1993.
If you solve 0.8% of deaths here and there, pretty soon you've postponed a lot of deaths?

I suspect though, that in addition to reducing fatalities, it'll also reduce the consequences of non-fatal collissions that match the pattern. Otoh, this pattern is perhaps an easily addressable pattern, not necessarily a particularly common pattern.
> They don't have singular authors

True, but that is true for everything before the press was invented, it's also true for music, before music notation was invented or for kitchen recipes...

What we are talking about here is publishing the Grimm's fairy tales, that are the most popular adaption ever of German folklore (we know they are mostly not original, but we can almost say they saved them from oblivion) and republish a sanitized version using the original title and the original authors names.

We still adapt fairy tales when we tell them in front of a campfire, that doesn't change the fact that for some of them the author exists and we know who that is.

Charlie and the chocolate factory, for example, is partly inspired by the author's real life experience with confectionery manufacturing plant Cadbury, it also contains more than one timeless archetype, inspired by a long tradition of orally transmitted tales, but at the same time it's also a completely original story, written by a man named Roald Dahl.

Disney chose those fairy tales exactly because there were no copyright fees involved, ironically today they refuse to let mickey mouse go...

EDIT

> the Grimms didn't think these stories child-friendly

AFAIK this is not what happened, the book was criticized for its content not deemed suitable for kids, given that the title "Kinder- und Hausmärchen" made people think otherwise.

They decided to change them and made a specific version for kids, that had an immense success and was re-published many times (I believe it was 10 editions).

We know that, we can refer to the original stories, tha doesn't mean Disney's Cinderella is not a Cinderella story, it means it is based on the Grimm's story, but it's not a faithful adaptation.

I don't see what difference it makes for the sake of the argument if the Grimms decided to edit their books.
The biggest danger in NTP isn't memory safety (though good on this project for tackling it), it's

(a) the inherent risks in implementing a protocol based on trivially spoofable UDP that can be used to do amplification and reflection

and

(b) emergent resonant behavior from your implementation that will inadvertently DDOS critical infrastructure when all 100m installed copies of your daemon decide to send a packet to NIST in the same microsecond.

I'm happy to see more ntpd implementations but always a little worried.
My driveway is on a slope, and my wife's car thinks that the road itself is an obstruction the car will hit, so beeps the backup warning sound.
It makes the conclusion unsupported. I don't know this area very well, but speaking for myself, I'm happy to ignore your argument from authority and give more weight to the author engaging in good faith.

Vue uses a similar (well, now ubiquitous) vdom technology, which can be used directly instead of templates, which simply transpile to it. I think this idea (afaiu) that vue has to do more work than react due to hierarchy etc isn’t correct. If there’s no dom bound to data.a[b].c, then nothing happens. If you think that vue templates still have to be regenerated, resliced and so on, then that also happens only once and results in a function which can be called to “render” vdom. https://codedamn.com/news/vuejs/exploring-vuejs-compiler-tem...

Sorry if I got you wrong. But it’s not the first time I think I see these wrong ideas about how “React is better”. I blame React itself, cause not only it redefined the terms, but also pushed this vague “compared to a regular detergent” agenda everywhere. It’s much less of a library than of pure religious movement with strawmen and fallacies.
I’m not very stylish, but I understand that to some people, style is a characteristic of the quality — for example, the highest quality barf-colored wardrobe would still be unpopular, despite the specs. This poster might just place more emphasis on fashion than you and me

Funnily enough, my parents read Watership Down to me too, I would have been around 4-5 then. They skipped the worst bits, and yet still I remember being scared. I liked the rest of the story, including the happy end.

You can sanitize without hurting, and even if you think you remove the worst bits, it can still be too much, for some children at least.
To add to this, it feels to me like SWEs have the biggest egos as well without a related checking mechanism. In other engineering disciplines getting something wrong very often comes back to you as the engineer, in SWE it feels like there are so many abstractions people like to point fingers at instead. "It's not my code that's the issue, its X implementation's fault" the amount of times I've heard something similar to this is too often.

It’s not zoned for residential. This one apartment building got an exemption.

I’m sure the area being so desperate for housing is part of why this was allowed. Adding 1800 housing units is a huge deal in a city that size.

This is strongly wishful thinking. America isn't even the top trade partner of the EU as far as goods go. Many companies would literally hold a party if Apple, or any other American companies for that matter, left the EU market.

Some people have this unfortunate affliction where they went into SWE with a passion for programming and want something more fulfilling out of a job than resolving a few tickets and then checking out mentally.

A forest with larger trees and more extensive root systems will have a stronger effect than a forest with smaller trees with less extensive root systems.

Different tree species can also be more or less effective at functioning as a buffer. "Thirsty" trees typically do a better job of taking up water when it's wet and continuing to release water when it's dry. (Unfortunately, many new tree plantings favor more drought-resistant trees because they are easier to grow in clearcut fields, which are drier than forests.)

So, because I don't know much about this region specifically, these are my two questions:

Has there been a change in tree biomass in the region?

Has there been a change in the tree species makeup of the region?
I recently reinstalled Windows Home.

It's not possible to install a local account any more. Apparently all the loopholes have been closed. It just loops you back to the "oops looks like you lost internet access" page.

I made a new account - installer<date>@outlook.com with no@thankyou.com as the backup email (which you have to give). Microsoft didn't like that, so it made me go through 10 minutes of captchas (captcas in the OS install - wtf)

Then it forced me to give it my birth date, ostensibly to check if I'm of age. Could just ask "are you older than 13" but then you don't get that sweet data.

Finally I booted into the OS, and I made a local account.

I spent 30 minutes going through the awful menus trying and probably failing to disable all the crap that sends all my data to Microsoft. Some of which can't be disabled in the Home edition.

Then I tried to delete my "installer" account. Oops, sorry, we have to "verify" who you are by sending an email to no@thankyou.com. Oh, you don't have that? No worries, just give us your real email address and we'll allow you to log you in after 30 days.

Then later I check my real name gmail account and there's a Microsoft email with a login code. I never gave MS this email address. What the hell??
Question: EM - Engineering Manager?
I've definitely seen laptops from multiple OEMs with Pro edition pre-installed that still don't offer the local account route without first going through the CLI to bypass. I think the only other route remaining is to just not have any NIC that the installer can recognize.

That it's an absolutely insane thing to do to a trading partner and calling prices "artificially low" is just "our glorious government investment their savage government trade war subsidies." Go read the whitehouse announcement, it's blatant. The best part is that is centers around IP literally proving that any country that ignores the insanity of western IP laws will outcompete. Big no no, it's the children that are wrong energy.

Absolutely do not support the US artificially limiting EV adoption by forcing prices higher to prop up a domestic auto industry that got caught with their pants down. If they're gonna sell us EVs below cost we would be stupid not to buy them all up and make them lose money. But there's the rub, they're not actually doing that, they are just able to make them cheaper.

I'm all for hating on Microsoft for their continued destruction of the local Windows 11 experience, but I actually think this is a good decision. Assuming you're logging in with a Microsoft account, and assuming you have a OneDrive account, it's a better experience to set up the folder backup feature as early as possible in the set-up process. If you really don't want it, it's easy to undo.

I still don't like being forced to log in with a Microsoft account as part of the set-up. I prefer to log in locally, and then incrementally turn on the cloud features. But I've voted with my wallet and have moved to Linux and macOS for day-to-day desktop computing. I still keep a Windows 10 VM around for when I need it, but am doing all I can to avoid the "modern" Windows desktop experience.
