Hold down the spacebar and let the enemies run in front of you. Might take two tries. No movement needed.
I don't think you have to have Fuck You Money to get to this point. Most people eventually become disillusioned with work enough that they reevaluate what matters to them. Getting a very profitable exit is just one way to trigger that experience.

In my experience, a lot of people who get into this state start self-sabotaging hard as a way of rejecting what feels, ironically, like losing control. Sudden freedom can feel foreign and lot like your world got forcibly taken away from you. I'm not surprised the author is turning down opportunities and breaking off with his girlfriend. It's a way of taking back control.

When this happened to me, I pivoted hard from getting satisfaction out of what I built to getting satisfaction out of developing people. Now I take great pride out of the careers I've nurtured...a lot more than what I've built, in most ways. I've heard others express similar ideas in different ways, like "I now enjoy making other people rich."

No matter what, I encourage the author to use this time to build connections instead of destroying them (real connections...not work or SF acquaintances). Something I did not read in this essay is how he grew closer to anyone (in fact, I read the opposite). No path out of this valley involves traveling alone.
> I think their point was that it can still be rational to buy the item that is 20% cheaper but will break in 50% of the time.

But that's not my thought experiment at all. I fix the rule for my thought experiment that is meant to convey my point. One can't change my experiment and then say that the modified experiment doesn't work...

> Additionally, lots of people will choose to buy the worse option because they like it's branding or whatever other irrational reason.

I strongly believe that they resort to irrational reasons when they don't have convincing rational ones. Again: if they don't know which one is better, they may as well take the one that looks better or that is cheaper or that their friends have. But if they could know, for sure, which one was a better deal?
Nice project, I was able to use it to map out some parts of a vendor's API that's been giving me grief today. I'm pretty amateur and this was really intuitive. Happily putting this in my toolbox.
Full disclosure: no I didn't. Sorry about that.

Its definitely local regulations.

In SF for example, even after a housing project is approved, it can be challenged at any point for any reason by the community or politicians. Even projects that meet all regulations can be rejected for any reason, usually that vibes are bad. I think over half of SF is some kind of historical district. Way too much is zoned for SFHs in the city limits. etc.

It's little wonder why housing projects are so expensive in cities that have such strong NIMBYs. Like is it so unreasonable to ask for a bunch of 4 story single stair apartment buildings to be allowed to even be legal?

As I said elsewhere on this thread, I read this as the court saying that something to the effect of "the underlying links that comprise the Internet backbone are probably telecommunications, but the provision of global Internet service on top of them constitutes information services". Which sounds crazy in 2024, but I'm not sure that's a crazy reading of the world circa 1996, which is the interpretation that controls here --- the Telecommunication Act appears to refer to the Internet primarily as something that runs on top of telecommunication links.
Same. Maybe the guy should start thinking of people as people before contemplating what to do about himself.
Self Unhelped: On psychoanalysis and therapeutic culture
You did a speed run of what people discover when they work their entire life for retirement, get there, and realize they don't know what they were working for.

Retirement

F-U money ("FIRE" in modern parlance I guess)

Save n dollars

It's all the same: too abstract. That you were able to discover it now with plenty of life left and plenty of resources to figure it out is worth more than the money.

Personally, I always try to keep enough saved to replace my computer all at once if it dies on me. If I lose that, it's hard to pursue my hobbies and interests while trying to figure out which parts of them I can sell without losing what made them interesting in the first place.

For what to do with it, I found it helpful to pick a hobby, any hobby, and pursue it for a year. You probably have a lot of these left. For me: One for music. One for photography. One for writing (fiction). One for writing (nonfiction). All the skills complement each other. I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a set of tools for recording podcasts and audiobooks to help deal with my significant speaking anxiety. The skills from the writing and music eras are especially helpful here!

This process started back in 2017 when I found myself with no steering or engine power on my way into a turn lane in the rain and fog. I'm glad your existential crisis didn't start with a near death experience!
I have a love/hate relationship with qt. It is powerful, generally well-maintained, and I’ve compiled the same app to windows, linux, Mac, and arm, and a specific use case needing JNI on android.

It all just worked.

Their licensing got really goofy for a while, and yocto (which unfortunately I became a “SME” of at work) made cloning and using anything after 5.15.2 very obnoxious. They needed to figure out how to pull a RedHat and get paid support, but this was right around the time electron (at least for a while) rendered native apps as second-class citizens.

The bindings to other languages are neat, and the signal/slot idea is also neat. The whole moc part isn’t great, but I understand why, and it has very rarely caused me any real issues.
You also change the headers / TLS signature, because it's their worker doing the connection. That covers quite a lot already.

The racket is not in the workers themselves, but rather cloudflare both protecting from internet abuse and protecting sites which sell the abuse services. (For example hosting WebStresser) I meant that by giving them more traffic and accepting that as a workaround, we'd be saying "I'm ok with that".
I didn’t look it up, but at first glance, it reminded me of discussions like this one

"Telecommunications service" sounds like phone or TCP/IP to me. You make a connection, "speak" the data, and ideally it's supposed to be received in order and without distortion on the other side.

"Information service" sounds like websites and apps.

You'd think a judge would be capable of reading a law as-written. Internet Service Providers aren't running webpages, they don't even host email or newsgroups anymore.

Hello!

miniKanren was my introduction to relational programming (SQL aside!), and I had hours of trying to wrap my head around the Reasoned Schemer.

Were you aware a miniKanren-inspired language was the foundation of a large chunk of Amazon's retail data aggregation stack? I'm no longer there, but it might be one of the larger deployments out there. We spent many many hours trying to figure out the best way to run the relational engine at scale and with acceptable performance.
Thanks. We're working on an improved site with HTTPS. Coming very soon, I hope!
This one was originally used to mock scholars who debated such seemingly obscure minutae at the expense of more pressing issues, the canonical example being theological debate during the fall of Constantinople. But I remember reading somewhere that this debate was actually for a good reason since Constantinople were looking for help from fellow Christians against the Ottomans but needed to convince the potential helpers that their beliefs were closely enough aligned enough to warrant them giving aid. Hoping someone here might know more (and apologies for derailing the thread even further...)
Of course not! Take the top N problems ordered by “impacted due to inefficient tech” and the top N ordered by social benefit. N has to be pretty large before anything interesting starts showing up on both lists.

The problem is that making tech more efficient is rarely anything more than a simple capital problem. So the real question is - where is there social benefit but no money?
Right, you get it in toto IMHO: this is the least worst thing they can say, and also the best thing they can say.

If they don't apologize, that'd be worse.

If they don't indicate they'll take steps to prevent this from happening in the future, that'd be worse.

If they had all the steps ready right now, I'd be confused because they should have A) fixed the bug B) deployed the fix C) communicated the bug exists and a fix was deployed. Blending that with D) postmortem would show an undisciplined approach.

If they claimed the ability to prevent all bugs ever, or at least, all unintentional file writes, I'd be confused because it's impossible to prove it never writes to a file.

A good start is to do what he did (delete the ssh logging altogether), and start investigating automated ways to validate if/when files are accessed. The cool thing about macOS dev is there's a ton of tooling that leaps and bounds beyond cross-ecosystem tooling. I wouldn't be very surprised if someone linked an obscure mid-1990s technical note that lets you set an NSArray of paths that are allowed access, or if Instruments had some built-in dtrace integration that could pull this off. Couple running that in CI, make sure you got test coverage, and you've done the best you can.

(n.b. a lot of it seems to hinge on "I deeply regret this mistake and will take steps to ensure it never happens again." being read as "I deeply regret this mistake. I will do things until I can, absolutely, 100%, foreever, guarantee it'll never ever happen again." For the young and impressionable: the blog post is great, there's ~0 you could do better here)
I think a repository should have at least 1 star, meaning at least the author liked it.
I hope that works out for you lol
In typescript dev I made “console.log” a linting error that cannot be merged. The occasional legitimate need uses console.info

I think print debugging is fine. It has a time and place. But ideally find a way to protect yourself from accidentally leaving it in. It’s such an easy mistake to make.
wireguard does not do any retries, ordering or streams, see the whitepaper and the code which are marvels of engineering.

Just a reminder that iTerm is FOSS: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2
Didn't MS once say something to the effect that Windows 10 would be the 'last' major Windows version and that they'd switch to a more continuous update model? In reality, it was probably one of the versions with the shortest time until the update was announced. Windows 11 reminds me of the old rule that every other Windows version is best skipped.
I tried FreeCAD earlier this year but I nearly pulled my hair out trying to move a hole in a design after the hole was created. This is a much easier task in Autodesk. I am not sure I am a huge fan of the UI design choices that FreeCAD has made.
> does SO MANY things that I just don't care about.

The integration of iTerm2 with Fish was so buggy that I needed to disable, then I lost some features like imgcat... These bugs persisted while they were introducing AI features that I really don't care (it's a terminal, why would we need AI???).

I think it's time for me to move on... I don't need too much, just something that works as good as Konsole does on Linux distros. The comments here (yours included) made me consider using Ghostty.

In a way having money makes it harder because it makes it harder to blame your unhappiness on your circumstances.
> Revoking the eID and anything dependent on it would be akin to your passport being taken away.

Is it? If my eID is used for logging in to my bank and said eID is revoked, I can no longer log in to my bank account. That’s completely different than a locked up passport.

> Essentially the modern day digital equivalent of getting your Google account banned by some bot, if you use that account for auth in a bunch of places.

Use a custom domain, don’t make your kingdom dependent on the gmail.com address.

I don’t know, for me the perfect amount of government oversight is “as little as possible”. There’s zero need for the government to mediate between me and my bank, or some random service provider on the internet.

What you’re describing sounds like a fun technical challenge assuming a perfect world. For example: who decides which countries’ certificates should be revoked? Who decides who is the rogue one? Even that is stretching it too far. Can I simply download a browser without some selected certificates? If the technology is so great, why isn’t it widely adopted today

Those are all rhetorical questions. You don’t have explain PKI to me.
Sounds a lot like the guy who said I have 23 gold medals and have no idea what to do (Michael Phelps). Although it isn't a DSM recognized condition, psychologists often refer to the depression of people who obtain the pinnacle of success as “post-gold medal depression.” Here is an article about it.

Ah the ole "Why did this government agency create this rule? It should be done by congress!"

Congress has been disfunctional for 30 years. This is the result of that.

It's like a weird "acktually" form of libertarianism, sure the most correct way to implement it is with congress, but in lieu of that what should the government do? Nothing?
I have used Terminal.app since 10.0, and have never felt like it needed replacing. What is lacking in Terminal that would improve my day to day by using a different app?
How about trying "xor ecx, ecx; inc ecx"? Or the even shorter "mov cl, 1"?

It is very strange to me that the instruction used to set the shift count register can make the SHLX instruction 3× slower.

I suspect this is a width restriction in the bypass/forwarding network.

The 32-bit vs. 64-bit operand size distinction is especially surprising to me as SHLX only looks at the bottom 6 bits of the shift count.

Unfortunately the dependency analysis circuitry seems not Intel-ligent enough to make that distinction.
Why not map out suffering and ways people optimally can learn to solve it, using our collective intelligence? I mean, if you're looking for ideas. Hopefully someone gets around to that one.
I noticed the colors looked off when I was trying out Ghostty as well. Adding this line to my config fixed it after restarting the app: `window-colorspace = display-p3`

https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#window-colorspace
I'm not trying to knock either Ghostty in particular or new software in general. But the kind of "open season" phase you're referring to is basically the same point I'm making: new software still has to go through the phase where they work through their security model, have it probed by researchers, and earn their reputation.
Amazes me how naive people are about this whole billionaire worship stuff.
Well, proof of having an ID can be done anonymously. Cloudflare even worked on a system for that kind of thing.
How do you bookmark projects at GitHub? Basically, it is not the
same a library with less than 10 stars than some popular ones with ten of thousands. It is true that you can game the system butnstats are a signal in a domain that you don't know well.

You're about to discover political foundations on which this world runs. That leaving working class is a bad idea.
Just realize that compared to Elon Musk you are a poor bastard.
Just as a side note because you mentioned it in relation to DOGE: the US government cannot go bankrupt in its own currency. As long as prices are kept in check, there is no reason not to create more money. The fact that the US has to pay interest on it doesn't change that. If the government decides to spend more money than it takes in, the money is simply created by the central bank (through the detour of bonds). If you are interested, read up on Keynesian economics and Modern Monetary Theory.
Blaming anyone about anything is extremely unlikely to improve your individual situation and is typically a colossal waste of time. This is from a financial and life milestone standpoint.

And in cases where it isn't, you should be talking to a lawyer asap.
I've been using iTerm daily for something like a decade at this point and I'm struggling to think of any examples of this string of extremely bad vulns. There's this one, which is specific to SSH integration. There was CVE-2024-38396, which is the window title escape sequences I was talking about above.

What others am I missing?
Oh yeah, I just clicked the link and it's Dan McClellan. Maybe TikTok isn't the best place to cite, but he's highly credible in terms of Biblical scholarship and history.

Starring projects is how I “bookmark” them so I can easily find them later. A high number of stars indicates many devs are interested in the project… if I had to chose a UI library with 10 stars versus one with 30,000 stars, it should be obvious why you’d pick the later. More interest likely means a bigger community behind the product.
Hey I am not sure if I am just someone who happened to see your role a little too early when looking to apply for the role, however when clicking the career section, it says there are no job posting as of currently. Perhaps it may just simply be due to some type of glitch and not bearing very much significance, however I would still like to reach out to you about the role and establish a connection as I see myself being highly congruent with the team. If you would like, take a look at my portfolio website. Hope you find it useful in being in gaining at least some type of idea on my expertise and how I would fit in the role.

You can also take a look at my github repo through one of the shortcuts in my website, as I have also spent a great deal of my time pursuing many open software projects and offering contributions.
