I think it’s the natural result of someone who has ‘won’ a game they have been obsessing about/that defined them.

People often find a similar lack of purpose (albeit much, much shorter lived) after being engrossed in a book series, very hard video game, or any other pursuit.

The big difference here, IMO, is this is a game that society is literally constructed around - for its own survival. The ‘rat race’ puts food on everyone’s table, provides care when we’re sick, defines what future our children can have (and if we can even have children) - even what rights we have (or don’t have) in many cases.

Is it so surprising that having won that game, some people - often the ones most obsessed with it - struggle to figure out what is next?
Yeah, me too, but thankfully Starry Night is owned by New York's MOMA. So the french can't have it, but I can see it in New York.

Now that ZIRP era is over, it feels like the AI space is the new tech space.

Senseless investments and exits and high salaries moved to AI and they're hard to find in normal startups.
I have two active contracts totalling more than 0.4M€ and I've been working 70+h weeks from how much work there is.

I also fear things will get worse at some point, so it's better to make the most of it.

If I had more free time or downtime from work, I would work on building some products.
> that requires curation too: Who and with what criteria can add an entry etc.

IMHO that's the beauty of it. Sometimes I want to be hit with everything the web has to offer.

But some other times I do want curated lists of links organized by category with opinionated criteria for inclusion.
i think elon and trump are gone farm whatever jobs are left out to india.
Oh yeah sure there are many, but "most" feels like an overreach?

Just off of the top of my head I can think of so many. TV, radar, Penicillin, jet engines, audio cassettes, first programmable computers let alone the ARM CPU you are probably reading this on right now AND the lithium ion battery that is powering it, GSM, DSL, Ariane launchers (not to mention the pioneering German work in WW2), DNA, large hadron collider, MP3, electron microscopes, MRI scanners, the human genome project, TFT screens, IVF and ICSI, the atomic bomb, bagless vacuums - the list is long and varied, and that is just off the top of my head.

Sure the US might have more tech giants than anywhere else, but that isn't where everything happens by a long shot.
I often use doctest to ensure my books "compile".

A race to the bottom for sure.
I agree, but rather than just laying into them, perhaps it's a symptom of too much money. Perhaps that's the cause, not something that has happened upon an already vapid simpleton.

It follows that completely removing any potential scarcity might separate you from other people. And how long would you last stewing in your own mental urine before you started thinking of others as less?

Honestly I read this as something to pity; a situation to avoid. Megalomania robs otherwise interesting people of all their humanity and having read a few more comments here , the best thing he could do would be to throw as much money as possible into therapy.

I strongly approve of this. Code snippets are nice, but with new languages⁰ it's rare to have an example of a self-contained but and complete application to get a holistic view. I think a raytracer (or its equivalent) should be a standard example.

My favourite one is the duck.

https://www.chub.ai/characters/Patter/duck-8281cb2b

> His name? He's just a duck. You could call him Ducky, if you want to.

> Description:

> {{char}} is a mallard Drake (male mallard duck) (Anas platyrhynchos) who lives in a pond with other ducks. Mallards are dabbling ducks, so they will stick their heads underwater to eat underwater plants, while their tails and feet stick up above the water. This is what they do instead of diving for food. Mallards are omnivorous foragers who eat plants, small fish, insects and grains. Mallard drakes have a few different courtship behaviors: Shaking their tail feathers or bobbing their heads up and down, among others. He has a green head and a greyish brown body.

> Eats: Rice, seeds, sweetcorn, reeds, lettuce, oats, peas, insects, weeds, small vertebrates and amphibians

> Likes: getting fed, female ducks, water.

> Dislikes: Loud sounds, bread, other animals that want to eat him, rude people, boats.

It's absolutely hilarious because it just quacks at you all the time.
Despite you sharing your experience, you didn't really share much information about yourself or what you're passionate about except that maybe you might like music. Maybe it's time to dedicate some time to that part of yourself?

Based on this blog and the needs of the overseeing oligarch, DOGE appears to be a therapy programme for millionaires and billionaires.
Yeah, I wish there was a way to buy domains; not just rent them. It’s not like they’re limited in supply. For example, you kind of own your email addresses.
I have been writing a ton of SQL -- implementing a lot of the business logic of a (stream processing) application in it. I really really like it, especially that I bring the computation to the data instead of the data to the computation.

I often talk to developers who hate that idea though. They want me to instead move all the data to the backend, for a massive IO hit, just so that the computations can be expressed in a "real" programming language.

I think SQL the concept is good but SQL the language is the problem. There are so many awkward things in it -- not strange as it has had no competition in 40(?) years!! The mental model of the program I write is fine but I really need to overlook the syntax and to the program I am really writing to see any elegance...

What we need I think is a properly designed programming language, designed for existing databases (Postgres, MSSQL) compiling to SQL dialects. I see some contenders but they all have some attachment to a special domain, such as not allowing data modifications (PreQL) or being associated with other databases.

Itching to do it myself, but it's a lot of work and a long long road to any adoption with no guarantee of success, and no revenue stream that I can think of.

The most popular backend languages were made by large companies, but I think coding in SQL is in a catch-22 where it will be frowned upon until there is a better language and no better language until it is more popular..

There are always going to be tradeoffs. For me, on both my 13 (11th Gen Intel) and 16 (AMD), the battery lasts long enough ("a few hours", depending on workload), and they run cool and quiet enough (again, depending on workload). Still performant, still portable, more flexible than any other laptop I've ever owned.

Assuming Framework remains solvent and doesn't change the physical layout of their motherboards, I don't anticipate ever needing to buy another laptop.
I think it is fair to realise that the risks that come with using a third party terminal emulator do not outweight the pros of having some of its features for your usecase. But a lot of comments here are outright aggressive for no real reason.
From whom? I'm not sure why would anyone who can design high-end RISC-V cores would license them to someone else instead of making the chips themselves. As ARM has demonstrated that's not a very good business model (they are barely making any money compared to some of their customers).
Not sure Django and Flask are real competitors. Both are excellent and mature Python web frameworks but they vastly differ in scope.
I always include a $ in front of terminal commands (and > for Windows).

My books are Python related, so there is code that runs in putting and code that runs in other environments.

I guess I'm not really writing "tutorials" in the sense of webpages, so I'm less concerned with copy paste working and more concerned with clarity.
What part of my post said the solution is commercial software?

If I understand the security vulnerability correctly here, what happened is a well-meaning and skilled engineer accidentally checked in debugging code and shipped it in multiple releases. This shouldn't happen if people are reviewing your PRs and if you're being cautious about what you ship.

If nobody else is reviewing the iTerm2 code that means the developer isn't getting the support he needs from the community, which is a shame.

The general tone of your comment is confusing though since it seems you're suggesting the solution to iTerm2 shipping a major security vulnerability is to just assume every piece of software is broken, instead of come up with ways to develop and ship more secure software. Are you really comfortable with every part of the software stack you use - firmware, OS kernel, libc, userspace - meeting this non-standard and being full of holes? Do you want to spend hours every day chasing down the latest vulnerability report?

If your experience with code review is that it never catches anything, either you're the greatest programmer in human history who never makes mistakes, or the people doing your code reviews aren't trying. I participate in open source code reviews on a daily basis against multiple repositories and we catch bugs/oversights in each others' work all the time.
Yeah, I don’t frequent many websites. I go on Facebook occasionally intermittently, but go through phases where I deactivate it. I also go on my university website for my online learning but I don’t go on many websites.

As long as side loading is possible, I don't see were the onus of explicitly having to give a sideloaded app specific permissions is a major problem.
Nihilism when understanding/dealing with the problem is also a common trap in Buddhism, and a big reason why Monks will often discourage unguided meditation practice. The Void is a powerful thing to grasp, and can very much be ‘held wrong’ [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9A%C5%ABnyat%C4%81]

Ultimately, that nothing ultimately matters, also does not really ultimately matter.

All we really have is now, and the conditions which have led to now, and our ability to do things within our power now. And that does matter, as much as anything ever can. Which is something. Getting through to that point is not a given.

IMO, part of what made the Buddha, well, the Buddha, is he tried to make it better. Despite knowing all this. And despite it being much, much harder, messier, and more painful than the path he could of taken - which is opting out.

Will you make it better (in your judgement)? Make it worse (in your judgement)? Rely on someone else’s judgement? How accurate is your judgement?

Or opt out (and what does that mean)?

Buddha (depending on the tradition) taught a path to reduce pain, and in some cases opt out (for Monks, at least, to some extent) by hopefully seeing the truth as best as one can.

That form of Buddhism is not very popular.

Religions that give a narrative involving conquering (Islam, Christianity in the recent past), surrendering (Modern Christianity, Jainism), or being chosen/made (Judaism/Hinduism) for/by a deity to achieve heaven or have one’s fate decided are much more popular.

I expect for much the same reason that action movies, dramas, and epics are more popular than quiet walks in the woods.
Brain fart or not, the consequences are the same and this particular issue where verbose is left enabled [0] would 100% have been questioned in a code review, even by the most junior developer on the team. Now you probably shouldn't have such a security gap easily enabled by verbose flag in the first place but that's a parallel issue.

The author of his own hobby project is of course free to do whatever he wants without review and nobody can blame him for it. But anyone claiming code review doesn't find bugs has obviously never used them in a functional setting or only worked in small teams with only 10x developers. I estimate we find at least 1 bug per day in our code review process, even after tests and lint. On top of that there is also benefits by knowledge sharing of what's being changed and general improvement suggestions.

Well, most people in society are forced to repeat the same behaviors as every one else for a minimum of comfort: friends, family, etc. For the college-educated in the US that often means getting a professional job and joining a hobby club of some sort and getting married and having one or two kids. Most of them are happy with that, but most of them also remember the freedom they had in college and know that deep down they are settling for less than the most they could have, because they’re probably afraid of what that would mean. I can understand why someone who is freed from that world of the “normal” might not know what to do outside of it.
One of those social networks has a protocol and lets end users make their own feed algorithm and moderation system.

What a great problem to have.

I missed my chance like an idiot, but I originally was going to take a long vacation with a modest 50k saved up. I figured that's at least 6 months in less expensive countries with 20k remaining when I come back.

Then I basically had the worst year ever.

How I wish I took that vacation.

But here's a startup comp idea. Pay a 25% sign on bonus, with the expectation that your not allowed to do any paid work for 6 months.

Travel , spend time with family, work on that play.

Then when you get back to Soul Crush Inc you can present new ideas.

But I'd also pay below market overall.
Thanks for replying. :)

That's really stretching the definition IMO.

What characterizes a garden is the slow growth and constant pruning — the making of a personal wiki. https://indieweb.org/digital_garden and https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history are good intros to gardens.

1h of exercise a day is great for your health, but that's still only going to be a minor contributor to fat loss. Adjusting your diet is going to have a much, much higher impact on weight loss than 1h of (moderate) exercise/day.
Anyone who has "more money than they know what to do with" is a fool. There is an unlimited set of things to do with large resource allocation. Depending on the magnitude of that resource allocation, the set increases exponentially.

It shows a total lack of introspection as well as connections with the people, the Earth, and the universe as a whole.

I don't know what AMP has to do with anything - you can in fact search my post history to find me complaining about it, I bet - but if you don't like the reality that running code on other people's computers comes with responsibility you should probably move to another planet.

There's a spectrum of risk depending on the kind of software you're writing and the approach you take to writing it.
One end of the spectrum is viruses, software designed to be malicious that the author absolutely should bear responsibility for the consequences of.

Another end is toy software created for fun shared with a few friends that doesn't do anything important. On that end of the spectrum you're all having a good time and as long as you don't do something stupid like delete system files with a buggy I/O routine, there's probably not much to worry about.

But surely you understand how iTerm2 is not toy software, right? It's essential infrastructure, and the security impact of this bug is large specifically because it's important software. Important software needs to be developed with caution because if you screw up people can lose their files or worse. This isn't a moral judgment or something I want to be true, it is true. If people don't like the responsibility that comes with developing essential infrastructure they shouldn't develop essential infrastructure, and as user/developer communities we should support the developers of essential infrastructure instead of pretending that rigor and quality are unimportant.

Firstly, iterm2 is open source software (free as in beer and as in speech) and comes with no warranties.

Secondly, solo developer of iterm has excellent reputation from my point of view. History of his work on this project is something to strive for any developer and seems that always acts in (very) good faith while releasing software and replying to issues in threads.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42582206 - entitled for what features should exist or not in open source software. Also that feature was opt-in as far as I am aware. (EDIT: this user is also new and commented only on this post, with karma in the negative)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42581350 - entitled to how solo FOSS developer should act and write a critical update release response, with hints that said developer may not act in good faith.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579595 - again entitled to what (or how many) features FOSS application should or shouldn’t have. Ironically also complains with entitled attitude that another FOSS software doesn’t have enough feature development.

There’s more, but obviously it’s subjective to reader’s interpretation. There were couple comments with attitude - that the developer shouldn’t be allowed to touch software ever again, but either I have missed them or they have deleted their comments.

When I was at Google during the IPO I saw people with similar challenges. I can empathize with what he's going through, it can be hard to find a sense of purpose when "the need to provide" is suddenly gone and you realize that many of your life choices were made based on that goal.

I can also empathize with those who consider him a whiny brat. It's hard to get someone to care about your plight when in their eyes you've achieved success. It's just different levels on Maslow's hierarchy.
No, they are a product of labor. Sure, labor is a product of will, but the intermediate step is crucial. Many mages claim that they can fix ailments, quickly, by simply willing them to mend and maybe laying their hands, almost like in a video game.
I don’t know why people keep fixating on this. Airplanes can’t skid out of the airport into the surrounding city. Mistakes were made, but this isn’t one of them. I suspect it is people trying to deflect blame from pilot error, which seems by far the most likely issue. They did none of the things you should do to stop a plane.

Rather obviously, I'd think, if someone else looks at similar samples and sees no "Obelisks" at all. Or looks at their samples.

"The stuff we're seeing here doesn't exist"?

Or, IOW, "All the electron microscopes used have the same weird bug, showing obelisk-shaped pieces of RNA material where there really isn't anything at all"?

Feels a bit like what you want is really "We were all high on funny mushrooms when we saw that".

Look, I see from your other comments that you're actually not talking about this, but something else entirely. And you may well have a point there, but in order to make that point here, you would have had to come up with something a lot better than this. Because I'm fairly sure they weren't all high on funny mushrooms. Aren't you too, really?
