It isn't that you don't know how to do it any more. Humans are abysmal at relating to how long it takes to develop good habits, and how quickly bad habits form.

I've stepped away from coding for over a year, and a few profound things happened. Firstly, I could once type at around ~120 wpm, after my hiatus that dropped down to 40-80, and has been down there ever since (over a decade.)

Secondly, I couldn't get myself to sit the f-down and just do the work, not for a long while anyway (longer than one thinks it should.)

I became a less conventional team dev and a sort of a code ronin. My skill for systems design and abstraction have grown and enhanced yet I have never again known the enthusiasm for the grind I had in my earlier days.

So yes, I can see how someone discouraged or ready to move on could "leave it all behind." Though I have seen how there are cycles for everything and some things merely turn into something else in their own due time.

That makes complete sense. A little correction from what David was saying: We don't want to abstract away the data stores; we want you to have complete ownership and observability of that. However, we want to make the infrastructure easy to manage, set up, and interface with. This is why we are making a big push to BYOC to allow you full data ownership. I like the direction of your tag line. Making sure that our security and privacy mission is loud and clear is important.

That is a super interesting idea. We have also been really tickled with the idea of owning our own data, and that is somewhat of the mission that drives us to make data security and privacy more accessible for developers. I love the connection to scraping.

You have to give up a piece of sanity too. Because knowledge ain't real. And, for the true philo of sophy, there's a tipping point.

(To paraphrase HP Lovecraft.)
If all you need for something to be a machine is "it has long-term stable behaviors and constituent parts that cause that behavior" then it seems like that sweeps in a lot of stuff that manifestly aren't machines, like tornadoes and similar. My gently cooling coffee is behaving like it does because of its constituent parts, but it's not a machine either.

There are very large search spaces. Consider the space of all text documents (Borge's Library of Babel), which includes all research papers and all novels. Also, the space of all mathematical theorems, the space of all images, all videos, all songs, whatever evolution searches over.

These cover many creative activities.

But it's true that some search spaces are less well-defined.
> "You can't be blamed if it's "industry standard".

Thankfully, that's not true. Class action lawsuits can and
do successfully target widespread industry malpractice. My first job out of college was as a paralegal, helping over 90 million American plaintiffs sue nearly every major life insurance company in the country for the previously common "standard behavior"
of insurance agents convincing policyholders to periodically "roll over" their accounts, to the sole benefit of the agents and their employers. The settlement payout for each participant was typically meager -- but the malpractice was stopped.

That's just begging the question.
Answering my own question for anyone else who might be curious: OrbStack is essentially LXD for macOS, so on Linux, LXD indeed provides an identical workflow.

In fact, LXD is a bit better. The command line is more powerful, it supports snapshots, the network configuration is more comprehensive, there's a direct access to the host kernel, and the web UI is a nice touch since it can work from a headless VM if needed.

This was one of the few things I was missing on Asahi and Linux in general. Feels good.
Yes, however, there can be significant water loss in the initial stages of a ketogenic diet. It’s not all fat that you are initially losing.
I would argue that the reason is much simpler than what any other commenter suggested - Windows is just the default, and most people just live with the default.
Awesome, that sounds like a lot of fun. Good luck to your applicants.

i take this as a compliment. i don’t however believe it’s this simple. PlanetScale is PlanetScale because of Vitess and MySQL’s combined reliability and scalability. there are companies out there trying to be PlanetScale for Postgres and they can barely keep two 9’s of uptime which is kind of missing the point.
What if personal projects are not meant to be finished? Journey and destination and all that? Perhaps for some it's more about the endless noodling about and whittling away bits and pieces, and a "project" is just a convenient excuse do do it?
another example of this phenomenon are "free" markets in prisons, where the currency is usually cigarettes.

Other places where freedom is limited have similar characteristics, I remember that we had a sort of food market when I was a child at a boarding school.

Nobody is using a part like that for any speaker output in a cell phone, let alone a laptop. Modern speaker drivers are closer to 8-12W (even in cell phones) so the wimpy 400mW of that device is worthless. It’s also in a package completely unsuitable for a cell phone, and doesn’t have any of the integrated jack detection that is needed in modern 3.5mm audio codecs.

Its not overwhelming clear that finishing is an important piece of a side project. Real work at your job is the place where you can prioritize finishing over other outcomes. By not forcing yourself to finish everything in your side projects you open yourself up to greater levels of exploration and learning which is, after all, the point of side projects to begin with.

Hello! I'm Will, a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a passion for building scalable and innovative solutions. With expertise in TypeScript, Python, React, SQL, and more.

Most recently, I co-created Cerebellum, an open-source cloud-based infrastructure and library designed to simplify the development of real-time web applications. You can view my technical case study here - https://cerebellum-realtime.github.io/

Cerebellum leverages AWS services to provide robust features such as connection state recovery, data persistence, user presence, and authentication, ensuring that developers can focus on building great experiences without worrying about the underlying complexities.

As an EV owner with a bit of mileage I can't agree at all, cities are the worst place to own an EV. Modern EV have at least 400km WLTP range (248 miles EPA range) and we typically have to move for much less during the day, BUT we need to charge at home, and in cities most people do not have a place to charge at home. In cities you have often tight spaces, maneuvering an EV is less comfy and an ICE in tight space, and eventual "ADAS" makes it even worse.

At least in the part of the EU I'm living public chargers are spread enough and they are rightly meant for just recharging when you are on a trip longer than the return range, issues are from their mandatory crapplications instead of just accepting a bank card, and having also an incredible price delta depending on the app/card you use (check chargemap.com/map choosing some chargers to see the prices).

The main issue is the absurdly high price of EVs HERE, because in the BRICS cost less than ICEs, the absurdly level of invasive crapware as a service, the absurd level of yearly check, actually a sw update we can do alone, prices. All this, the push toward no ownership and sucking money like a leech push people against EV because they fails to separate the child from the dirty water.
I've visited all the links and honestly still don't have the slightest idea what this input method does, or exactly what problem it's trying to solve, or why it's a good solution to the problem. I found the video [1] but it has no audio or explanations at all.

I also don't understand why you'd want phonetic input methods, rather than wanting to input your desired character directly. For languages like Chinese I understand because there are thousands of characters, but aren't most or all African writing systems based on small alphabets? I shudder to think of having to learn to input English phonetically.

So if you're looking for opinions, my first one is that your pages need to do a better job at explaining what current problems are (with multiple clear examples for each), where current solutions fail (with clear examples of how), and how your solution is different and better (again, with clear examples).

Good luck!

Great news, if it holds up!
They do compete with external sound. If there’s noise you want to drown out you can do it by turning up the volume. You can also plug your ears or wear ear plugs which I will do on occasion, like when grinding coffee while listening to a podcast.

Likewise if you want to be able to hear the outside world you have to turn down the headphones. On the quieter side you can hear what people are saying to you but you probably want to pause to talk. Medium volume i can hear people talking to me but cant make out what they’re saying. Louder volume they gotta be close or shouting.

They’re mostly used in situations where you want to hear your surroundings. On a plane I use airpods with anc. Around the house or on a run I use shokz. I can wear them all day unlike airpods which I hate the sensation of having the world dulled and something in my ear.

Probably the single best piece of tech I’ve found since getting a smartphone. I wear the all the time, if they break I’m buying a new pair same day. They kinda suck for music but i would never use anything else for spoken word unless I was on a plane or something.

I'm late to this post and maybe I'm missing a good deal of implied context, but what specific "results" mentioned by Mr.Chesky were "disastrous"?

Without units on these "results" I have, literally, no measure to these implied figure(s) of merit being derived from a specific management style.

Additionally, depending on one's personal perspective and context, the same figures could be wonderful or horrible.

I will proffer, in a prior very successful (angel to S1) org, short (< 15min) skip-level meetings were the norm and it was considered "odd" to even schedule a meeting (outside of all-hands) with more than 2 other people.

I never understood why somebody would fuck around with spiking drinks with exotic drugs when they could simply ask the bartender to keep refilling the target's drink. Alcohol is by far the most likely drug to be used in these scenarios.

I'm certain it happens sometimes, but I doubt it's even a fraction of a percent of claimed cases.

No, this is more like this. Here is my ZKP to verify you are older than 18. Please pass it your ID card and give me result. I’ll verify result and prove you are above 18. On top of that the proof output would contain your photo from the document so I can visually compare it with your face.

In the end all I know is you are older than 18. I don’t know your driver license number or SSN, I don’t know your name. I know nothing but the fact that your are older than 18.

I think it's all about prioritization. There are ideas that come to mind while implementing something you have in mind that are unnecessary right now by some definition (could be infamously performance- or perhaps convenience-related). If you have a list of all the subcomponents you need (or rather, want to have) I think it's healthy to first sit down and triage everything into some priority buckets and only zoom in on the absolute base functionality first for you to be able to move on to the next step on top of it for it to be able to ship. Note that this step is completely different in nature than what we have already one. After that you can go back and do the next bucket and so on and so forth.
The only way to win is not to scale. Most of the problems discussed by PG and in this post revolve around scaling company culture, and the associated management style, as the company grows the number of employees. Unfortunately, my feeling is that there really is no great solution to communication problems after a company scales to 20, or 50, or 200 (choose your favorite) people. Modern tools are helping more and more (GDocs, calendars, meeting transcription, ...), but after you get past 15-25 people, you go from everyone knowing everything to something less good. There's no reason that companies "need to scale". You can make millions of dollars without scaling up, and you can avoid many of the problems that kill companies at the same time -- investment overhang, cultural changes, management challenges, and the need to expand your customer base.
Why not just share the applicable medical literature directly?
I don't see what's wrong with micropackages.
Right, you also don’t have to drink a full shot of 151, much like you don’t have to load a whole bowl. You do it because that was the traditional customs. Now you can indulge with just a hit or two. No need to sit and brood. If you really wanted to control it, you’d do it yourself. I think the industry is definitely to blame, but it’s pretty damn opaque what the serving size is based off a thc percentage. Maybe alcohol-style proofs could help, but the important thing is education without capital incentive.

Also I sip my shots while people drink a beer and it works out pretty well.
How about verification speed? The article mentions that avoiding trusted setup would result is sliver verification speed. Could it also increase proof size?
That's true of SMS 2FA too, though, as well as many TOTP implementations. Being able to copy credentials to a new device is a major usability plus, consequently it is widely implemented.

Physical webauthn tokens are obviously better, but software webauthn is the second best thing. Software TOTP is a good bit worse, and SMS OTP shouldn't even qualify as a secure method

But because finishing is hard (and not fun) it’s also easy to make up reasons for why you don’t finish things, without scrutinizing the underlying motivation.

There's a wide spectrum of radio waves, so it's impossible to conclusively prove that there's no frequency which might be consistent with reports of Havana Syndrome, but nobody has proposed one and I see no strong reason to believe it exists. The microwave auditory effect is the closest I'm aware of, and my understanding is that it would explain only the weird audio perception.

Remember that this entire EM spectrum idea is the second proposed mechanism. When Havana Syndrome was getting off the ground, advocates thought it was a directed sonic attack - many of the early victims claimed to have recordings of it!
