After my personal 2-year experiment with NixOS, I'd avoid anything Nix like the plague, and would be looking for a new job if anyone instituted a Nix-only policy.

It's not the learning new things that's a problem, but rather the fact that every little issue turns into a 2-day marathon that's eventually solved with a 1-line fix. And that's because the feedback loop and general UX is just awful - I really started to feel like I needed a sacrificial chicken.

Docker may be a dumpster fire, but at least it's generally easy to see what you did wrong and fix it.
I was assuming that too. At the very least, the CC&Rs/by-laws could be amended to remove that clause. But, right, presumably the lender is a party to the agreements with enough power to vote down that change.
What you describe sounds more like setting healthy boundaries.

But I've worked with a frustratingly large number of people who do literally half-ass everything, and clearly work hard to find the line where they can just barely get away with it. Usually this involves other team members picking up the slack.

The "quiet quitting" movement is a prime example, with people regaling each other with stories of their efforts to do just enough not to get fired, which is something entirely different than finding a proper balance with one's boss and setting reasonable boundaries.

There are no NATO troops fighting in Ukraine.
Haha. I hope not an arsehole.

What did you change to if I may ask? Did you change while you were still at a company, or took the new job/role in the new tech/domain as the first job after the gap? I recently cleared an interview at a startup (all rounds) for a backend dev role but they offered almost 60% of the last salary I was getting (let alone a raise), citing I have zero experience in backend so they will give me slightly above beginner salary.

You seem to have landed in a great place to work. Congratulations!
The HOAification of America has gone too far. There are some places where it's hard to find a home not subject to a HOA. I don't think "well live somewhere else" is a reasonable answer to that complaint. That's definitely a "I got mine, so eff off" sort of response.

Russia has things North Korea and Iran want. They are willing to send troops into a senseless conflict because they have everything to gain from it in the form of nuclear/ICBM technology and Soviet-era materiel.

The United States stands to lose a lot more by formally entering this conflict. NATO is still in effect, but given that Ukraine isn't yet a member there is no incentive to deploy NATO forces in Ukraine. It remains a wiser use of everyone's resources to use NATO training resources and inventories before we reach the point where boots-on-the-ground deployment is even an option.

This has been the biggest disappointment of the Biden administration. The U.S. policy in this war has been to give Ukraine just enough weapons to keep the war going. It’s pathetic.
When I was in school, I interned at a company that specializes in communication systems used to send data over these submarine cables. There is a huge market in terminal stations that send and receive over these cables. The terminal stations that communicate over the lines cost in the 50-100 million dollar range, but the cables themselves can cost upwards of a billion. Being able to maximize the efficiency of existing cables is a necessity.

A large factor for the efficiency, is how “thin” you can make channels in the cable via frequency of the light. Multiple signals can be sent over a single fiber line if they use different frequencies. One system I was working on at the time was constructing 88 channels at 100gbs for a total throughput of 8.8tbs.

Another very interesting aspect, is that service providers might share a lease of the same underwater cable, not actually owning the cable themselves. The companies enter an agreement on the frequency ranges assigned to them. Any mess ups in settings can cause disruption in your neighbor on the cable, resulting in millions of dollars of fines.

If you think it's bad that `break-*` isn't supported in Firefox or Chrome, wait till you see what your ebook looks like in Kindle, or worse, ADE-based readers, of which there are still many in use!

Kindle, the reading device with by far the largest market share, is basically the IE6 of ereaders - too big to ignore, and at the same time dragging down the entire ebook ecosystem with its crappy renderer. Amazon has shown little interest in improving it for over a decade now, while simultaneously fragmenting its own ecosystem with a variety of different proprietary formats that support different CSS and features.

ADE, while less common in new devices, is still very common in much older devices - B&N's eink Nooks were based on ADE at least as late as a few years ago. (Perhaps they still are?) ADE is closer to IE5 in terms of CSS support!

At Standard Ebooks we're often hamstrung in our attempts to make beautiful ebooks by these big players refusing to improve their renderers. We're forced to dumb down our CSS and use outdated techniques (like occasionally having to use tables for layout!) because ebook renderers are so bad.

iBooks is the top tier renderer, because as far as I can tell it's basically a wrapper for an up-to-date Webkit; next is Kobo - also Webkit-based - along with other Webkit-based indie apps. The rest of the big players are far, far, far distant.
This is not my impression of how things generally go with China.

Seeking feedback on regional server performance for a virtual ecosystem
Hi HN! I’ve recently launched regional servers for a persistent virtual ecosystem project, and I’d appreciate feedback on performance from users in the US, EU, and KR regions. Here are the URLs:

US: https://us-alpha.breathingworld.com/
EU: https://eu-alpha.breathingworld.com/
KR: https://alpha.breathingworld.com/

The main server is located in South Korea, so please keep that in mind when providing feedback. If you’re in any of these regions, could you try accessing the ecosystem and let me know how it performs? I’m particularly interested in any network latency issues or lag that could affect the real-time responsiveness of this virtual ecosystem.

Any insights or suggestions on improving stability and performance would be incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for your time!
As the article states, Singapore accounted for 20% (!) of Nvidias total revenue. You think management wasn't aware that something was going on?

A major AI company has changed its policy regarding military use of AI.

The only way that isn’t newsworthy is if you think none of that is important: AI, the military, Facebook’s AI efforts, or its policies regarding all three.

That is what is newsworthy. Why do you think none of that matters?
I think you've got it around backwards. Your trying to look for external validation instead of having a internal locus of control. It is nice to talk about observation of people and some how rationalize some inner monologue of some sort of internal mental model but it is just a exercise in conjecture.

Just focus on developing your own set of qualities that you want from people. If people meet those qualities then great but if they don't then just move on. All you can do with people is sit down and shut up, and let them do what-ever they want to do, and then you get to decide if you want to participate in it or not.

I wonder about the phrasing. To me, a bailout of a bank allows the bank to continue business. I think paying out customers and allowing the bank to fail doesn't quite qualify under my understanding. More of a bailout of the customers, if anything.
I think it helps to isolate the issue and prescribe better targeted intervention measures.

If we can say that for the same level, gender pay gap does not exist, but there is discrepancy in promoting women to senior/executive levels: and there could be many legitimate reasons.

and the issue of gender gap becomes an issue of promoting women to senior levels from the inside, or more diverse hiring for senior job roles from outside.

Were you around during Covid? Many of these employers hired fully remote positions with no timeline to move to an office as a contingency.

This isn’t taking away free coffee, this is a significant altering of the employment. It’s no different than moving everyone in a location to a completely different office on a whim.

Your comment is pretty tone deaf in that it is essentially “I really, really don’t get folks who setup their lives to live in a specific location”. The same thing is happening for people in cities and it has nothing do with middle of nowhere.

Many families live on much less. And many struggle with more. What’s your point? This reads like virtue signaling. You budget a modest (below median) income in a way that works for you. Congratulations.

I raised three kids in Portland on one income, not much more than yours at the time. So did many other families I know. My parents managed with less. I don’t feel any need to describe my income and expenses in a public forum. Why do you care what some random commenter says about your finances?
The United States stands to lose a lot more by formally entering this conflict.

I don’t believe this is correct. If Europe and the U.S. won’t defend Ukraine then what makes people think they’ll defend Taiwan? The U.S. is showing that it is not a reliable guarantor of security. Europe looks helpless and weak.

Suppose tomorrow it was announced that China has brokered a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia and that they will send peacekeepers to ensure compliance. Imagine the shitshow that would follow. As the war drags on and as Ukraine’s ability to fight wanes such a scenario becomes more likely.
Most of the problem isn't the problem people are trying to solve. It is more about injecting a better mental model and then re-framing it from another perspective, that is the problem but it isn't the problem people think they have.

> Leaving your sister with the bill, which she is probably able to recover from the previous owners.

That depends, really. If the unpaid HOA fine was disclosed during the buying process, and the buyer didn't make it a condition of sale that the seller had to cover it, then the buyer is responsible. If the seller didn't disclose it, then the buyer can of course sue the seller, but depending on the magnitude of the fine, it might be easier and less stressful to just pay it.

> HOA's are agreed to by the owners and they preserve the value of everyone's property and enforce common decency.

In theory, yes. In practice, many HOAs are full of busybodies who enjoy the power trip and love to meddle in how other people live their lives. Even in the absence of that, like any institution, the people who are a part of them and subject to them often disagree on the fine details. For example, I'm not convinced it's fair that an elected board of homeowners gets to decide things like what color the curtains on the inside of your windows facing the street are allowed to be. But many HOAs have restrictions on that. I suspect you might think that such a restriction is fine, but that's exactly the point I'm trying to make: people don't always agree, but everyone ends up being subject to whatever the board/majority decides. I don't think we should allow these mini-governments to be able to enact property restrictions that actual governments wouldn't be allowed to do.

My latest fun letter from our HOA was that the paint on some air vents on our roof had faded and no longer matched the color of the roof, and we'd be fined if I didn't have them repainted. What a huge waste of time and money, both for me and for whatever busybody was paid (yes, paid) to drive around the neighborhood looking for these things.

As an amusing aside: not long ago I read of a case where a homeowner had been parking his boat in his driveway for some very long time (like more than a decade), but suddenly the HOA decided to enforce a provision about that not being allowed. Boats had to be put behind some sort of opaque fence or partition, so they're not visible from the street. So he built the fence, parked his boat behind it, and had an artistic neighbor friend paint a mural... of his boat... on the outside of the fence. Loved that.

It doesn’t exist and doesn’t need to. The current job market makes it abundantly clear that people are able to get some form of employment easily, even if it’s not what they want.

The point is that the comparison to due process is shockingly stupid. If the government imprisons you, you are done. Your life in civilization is over for the duration of your incarceration and you have no other options.

Anyone who thinks due process against the monopoly of violence is the same as due process for a payment from a company is completely tone deaf and has never dealt with the impact of government imprisonment.

Being unemployed indefinitely is far better than imprisonment.
Why not both?

There are a myriad of reasons to be concerned about the military adopting this kind of tech. If it's reasonable to be upset at the military, it seems equally reasonable to be upset at entities that enable the military.

I don't think it's a matter of "should", but rather, if you're upset at one, it doesn't make much sense not to be upset at the other.

First of all the whole notion that Reddit and Twitter are a source of Influence is a joke. That have not been designed to Influence people. They let you believe it cause more than anything else you want to believe it.

People have been conditioned to think how many view/upvotes you get = Influence.

But if the viewer who reads your post then goes and reads 100 other posts your influence is diluted by 100. Platforms don't show you that even though they are quite capable of showing you that.

And that missing Signal is intentional cause it benefits the platforms - oh you aren't getting enough views over the other guy - then pay us more.

So people get trapped, just like the Presidential candidates and their campaigns spending more and more each year with zero change in Influence over anything.

If one worker is willing to respond to alerts at 3 AM and another only works 9-5, then those two workers are providing different levels of value to the company assuming equal ability. Why shouldn't the worker that contributes more get rewarded?

This is why unionized workplaces are

> if you adjust for hours worked, unionized employees will make more

This is in large part because unions artificially restrict the workforce. A union job at the docks is great... if you can actually get a job. Plenty of unions practice institutionalized nepotism, with friends and family given priority in hiring. Take the LA port union for example:

https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/02/longshoreman-lottery-...

> This time around, about 80,000 put their names in for the drawing, and 25,000 were picked out and placed in sequential order. The first 2,300 on the list will be eligible for a part-time dockworker position that can lead to full-time employment, PMA officials have previously said.

> Negotiated between the ILWU and PMA, the controversial lottery process has been criticized over the years for being a two-tiered system that favors ILWU friends and family.

> Anyone can put their name in the drawing by sending in a postcard, but ILWU members get a specially marked postcard for their friends and family.

>The two are placed in separate barrels and drawn randomly from alternating piles. The two groups hired an outside party, Moorpark-based InterOptimis, to conduct the drawing behind closed doors, stoking distrust from those outside the process.

Institutionalized nepotism to restrict lucrative jobs to friend and family. That's what happens when unions control well paying jobs.

Union jobs that actually are accessible are things like public school teachers, electricians, plumbers. They pay okay, but nothing compared to to $150,000 median wage of a longshoremen.
