I found myself burned out and with enough money from video game development at the age of 17 to “retire.”

I thought that having lots of time and quiet to read and write code and not worry about money would be wonderful. Instead, I fell into depression and isolation.

I need to feel that I’m helping people. I need to be part of a project. I need people who rely on me. That’s what I learned. That’s where life’s meaning comes from.

I met a girl and married her. She spent my money so I went back to work with new vigor and purpose. All that happened about 40 years ago. My first marriage ended amicably a few years later— and while briefly single again I once more felt depressed. I spun into more wild things. Eventually sold everything and was about to go trekking around the world when I met and married my current wife. That was 34 years ago.

I settle down again. No one is going to make a biopic of my life of not drinking, not doing drugs, and not having fights with my family. But I tell you, it looks boring from the outside— yet from the inside every day is full of contentment. Life is a struggle, because I am NOT rich, but it’s not an emotional struggle. I feel lucky.

Nothing beats reasonable health and a family that loves each other.
Only when verbose logging is enabled, which seems fine to me

What's not fine is verbose logging being turned on by default, most likely by mistake
Yeah I think these days it depends on the doctor: some don't care, some asks you to wear one. But I admit I may be wrong here, I'm lucky to be healthy and my family too so we pretty much never go to the doctor.

We had this police operations too, even in restaurants where you had to have your mask when standing up (like going to the toilet, paying the bill, etc..), but you could take it off at your table.

I remember during the first lock down we were forbidden to go 1.5km from home except to go buy food: there was a large parc close to home so a lot of families would go there to chill, play with kids, do running, etc... but after 3 weeks the police noticed and they were going around in the parc to fine everyone. Most people were more afraid to get caught than to get sick, even old people.
I kind of agree but still not caring about quality as a creator is deadly in the long run.

It kind of breeds a culture of half-assedness that seep into pretty much anything you do or create.

And when it really counts, someone important will notice that.
These days, I prefer smaller websites more and more. But I do like Substack because they are sort of like a personal website, since there are very few social features and generally you can just visit one person's Substack without seeing ANY content from anywhere else.
Two separate issues. There needs to be regulation to stop Google from doing or allowing fingerprinting, and there also needs to be regulation to help people against one-sided decisions like that.

You don't get to be that big and make your own rules.
Then what is the antonym of luck? Sound like a tautology.

Like Ajit? GOP always staffs agencies like regulatory capture is the end game.
You’re right. Looking at the charts, it appears that both 01 and 19 can be used - https://aim.koca.go.kr/eaipPub/Package/2020-07-30/html/eAIP/...

What’s noteworthy, there’s a note to use extreme caution due to this wall if landing or taking off towards it.
I'm really not sure the chain of bird strike, belly landing, mid runway landing and fiery explosion are equal parts of that chain. One seems to weigh heavier than the rest.
It has nothing to do with common sense.
Some things to expect in Linux Kernel, in 2025
Is that what happened? And if intel from the magical box program was deemed correct, who determined that, and how do we know it wasn't parallel construction to improve the program's credibility, or even a tool to fabricate intel to influence a decision. (For example of the latter: "Mr. President, Black Toaster confirms the target location, but we'd have to deploy within the hour, on your order"?)
This is living the dream. Congrats.
Hah, last time I used Gource was on a Rails project in 2012. Cool to see it pop up from time to time.
If it actually provided good intel they would still be doing it, and not releasing info about it in FOIA requests.
Me neither. I don't give a darn about GitHub. It could burn in hell for all I care. But my comment was about this phenomenon in general, not how it affects some Microsoft service.
A good tutorial should be reviewed and tested by a second person.
Descriptiveness, some of the descriptions used, and delivery.
Because the price you pay doesn't account for everyone using their connection at the same time, if this was the case you would need to pay a lot more. ISPs can either increase the price you pay directly or try to get that money elsewhere. Doesn't really matter if you pay for this to your ISP or to them via Netflix.

The real problem is lack of competition and insane profits of US ISPs. Where I live its common for the local municipality to build out fiber and run their own ISP that lets other ISPs connect to their network and sell access. In that case part of my cost goes to the local ISP (which isn't profit driven) and the Internet providing ISPs can compete on price.
> I've tried iTerm2 in the past but I just saw no reason to keep using it.

One feature that's cool in iTerm2 is that you can define the left and right margins so using Vim full-screen looks nicer (I hate narrow margins). But I've switched to Sublime text for everything so I stopped using iTerm2.
You seem to have the timing all different compared to my memory. I remember when there were less than 1000 cases worldwide (i remember clearly because i developed a tracker that kept count even then). That was when i personally was scared because we knew nothing about it. But during that time, the mainstream opinion was that nobody cared. Infected Chinese people were allowed to fly all over the world, there were zero controls, for i think over a month - maybe 2 months - after it began spreading.

Then in February we got strong data that had a low fatality rate and mostly only threatened old people, similar to the flu, for example from the Diamond Princess cruise ship that provided a clear view since it was a closed environment with a lot of older people where everyone could be tested. Only after this did the lockdowns start and then continue for years.

So i think the response was catastrophic. There was no response at the time when it was an unknown disease and it could have been an existential threat for all we knew. Then there was an irrational over-response that lasted very long when we had strong data that indicated it wasnt that much worse than the flu. So now people wont even take it seriously or trust any messaging next time there is a potential pandemic. It is difficult to imagine a worse response or outcome.
Gource is cool!
Their Imperva WAF usually challenges me repeatedly during use trying to buy groceries from my pc, and most of the time I get tired of having to disable every security extension I use with Firefox to use Albertsons because of their shitty website. Never outright block though.

Might be worth checking some enterprise threat lists for whatever IP's your popping up on (ie Imperva and Cloudflare), or something uniquely fingerprints you from your browser. I use multiple extensions to block whatever they each can, and even I'm not treated that badly as you for wherever you are coming online from.

Here's Fortinet's you can check your IP against, they all tend to roughly use the same lists eventually: https://www.fortiguard.com/iprep

They're paid but what you pay is based on oversubscription, everyone not using their connection at the same time, as building a network to support that would be much more costly.
“An amendment in 1977 saw the OSHA restrict the use of funds to prescribe, issue, administer or enforce agricultural regulations for farming employers of 10 or less people.”

A plane usually crashes because of multiple reasons. The fact that runway design was one of them is a big deal because it was a concern for all airplanes landing there not just one of them.
Hehe a nice idea. But then it would not always print Hello World and you cannot execute it directly.
When your intelligence product customers keep ordering from you, you know you're onto a good thing.

However, if you believe parallel construction was needed, I suppose you are also acknowledging the intel was good. If you have concerns the Stargate archives are disinformation to disguise a true source, you can interrogate this belief that RV is mere parallel construction by trying it yourself.

But both of you can be right. I would not judge the author for their attempt to find meaning but it is hard to read something like "all coworkers are NPCs" and dehumanizing expressions like that.

No, your coworkers are complex human beings with complex lives of their own seeking stability and a content life for themselves and their families. Blaming people for not always maximum pushing and risk taking is very simple minded. It is fine to enjoy a content, stable life without aiming for the stars all the time. It doesn't block you from being a star seeker yourself.

Responsibly raising a family is a massive and tiring task on its own but of course you can take the easy way out like Elon and delegate "family" to others starting at insemination because you burned your brain with drugs and had too many conversations with Peter Thiel. Most people don't want that.

And when he mentioned DOGE it was an immediate red flag. These people do not care why or for what purpose governments exist. They only see the inefficiencies and blockers and fail to understand that governments are not profit oriented companies. This is pretty much like failing pre-school. These folks belong in emotional special needs schools.

> The only exception I'm aware of is chicken pox, where getting it young had better outcomes than getting it in adulthood so it made sense to seek exposure, but we have a vaccine for that now which is significantly better than ever getting it.

Indeed, please consider a chickenpox vaccination over inducing exposure if it is a choice between the two; there is a significantly lower risk of shingles.
I don’t know about the rest, but I’m sure Terminal supports italic.
I have a website [1] on GitHub Pages. It's extremely easy to move out of GitHub, since it is on a domain I control, which is not the case with e.g. social profiles. That fact that the site is static makes it really easy to host it basically anywhere where a web server exists.

The site is deployed using a GitHub Actions workflow, which happens to be the only GitHub-specific feature, but a similar script could easily be written in the future for another hosting if necessary.

Now every couple of minutes when scrolling through Reddit, red "Network issue" tab appears. Some comments don't load at all, some are labeled "deleted" even though they aren't. Refreshing the page usually does the trick, but I hate this new experience.

I guess they're just protecting themselves from bots, and I look like a bot in their eyes.
As humanity devolves towards unconsciousness, it retreats instinctively into obsession with the purity of the community. Institutions, laws, and ideals are bent into weapons to enforce that purity; any that cannot be are swept aside.
> I don't accept your definition of "intelligence" if you think that makes sense. Systems must be able to know things in the way that humans (or at least living creatures) do, because intelligence is exactly the ability to acquire such knowledge.

According to whom? There is certainly no single definition of intelligence, but most people who have studied it (psychologists, in the main) view intelligence as a descriptor of the capabilities of a system - e.g., it can solve problems, it can answer questions correctly, etc. (This is why we call some computer systems "artificially" intelligent.) It seems pretty clear that you're confusing intelligence with the internal processes of a system (e.g. mind, consciousness - "knowing things in the way that humans do").
Am I understanding you correctly in that for you this isn't controversial, because it's clear from today's/some future's standpoint that RV does work?

Do you have any other sources on that? I would imagine someone replicated this...
Yeah I thought sth like this is possible, but (correct me if I'm wrong) this (ab)uses the ELF header and punts data in there, which goes against my requirement

This is a bit of a tangent. I haven't reviewed all of the claims you outlined.

Turtles all the way down. I would say it typifies media across the board. There's also the meta-distortion where partisan sources misrepresent the statements of opposing partisans to present them as dishonest.
There are additional, multiple, overlapping and competing pressures:

- Commercial real-estate owners pressure on tenant corporations to utilize buildings, which then pass it on to their employees

- Pressure to use their owned real-estate

- Investor and peer pressure for corporate management to do what everyone else is doing

- Control through compliance
Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?
What is sus about Signal?
Yeah me too, I could not stand it.

I do agree with you !

Focusing on being healthy is in my opinion way more beneficial to avoid being sick in general than trying to avoid being sick at all cost. Being stacked by millions in cities living unhealthy lives is definitely not helping to prevent being sick. I move to the country side after the last lock down, ~50km from a big city to still be close to work, and it's been very relaxing and good for my family's overall health.
On company laptops this isn't always true, for instance here's the spec sheet of the ThinkPad T14 (this seems to be true for all ThinkPad models): https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/th...

Excellent advice. For those for whom it's appropriate, do try it. As you suggest, therein lies that special essentially private pleasure of accomplishment in small things that doesn't depend on the approbation of others.

I didn't say that code reviews don't find bugs.

I said that they don't find major bugs. A code review wouldn't find a bug where the configuration at build time was incorrect for the build for production as it was in this case.

Testing finds the major bugs, not code reviews. If you are finding at least 1 bug per day, then there's something wrong with your development process, not your code reviews.

Oh and that's over 40 years as a developer and engineering manager in charge of delivering quality software with teams of ~10-20 for systems with 4 nines up time requirements and 24/7 operations.
I think the main battle is mindset. The willingness to be seen attempting to persuade others to buy your product or invest in you or whatever. A lot of people, including engineer types, have a deep aversion to this, which may remain unexamined even after they’ve consciously recognised they need to ‘learn marketing and sales’.

I suspect success in this area might be only 20% about learning practical methodology. The other 80% would be some kind of self-examination, then analysing and resolving whatever aversions you discover - or deciding on a different strategy such as teaming up with someone who is already comfortable with marketing/selling.
There is a simple way though : have the ISPs provide all of this. If they can provide you a personal website, an email account and a NAS, they can also provide you a a personal website and an email account ON that NAS. (Especially now, with IPv6.)

(Which of course assumes that there are laws in place against lock-in, just like there are already laws in place against lock-in for your pick of ISPs and obligations for mobile carriers to transfer your phone number to another carrier.)
Not everyone is stupid; people would catch on very quickly.
First step. Get some therapy.
Yeah, even an interrupt (that doesn't result in a thread switch) would cause a spill to the stack, right? That seems hard to control.
Oversubscription is an ISP trick to make more money.

People do pay for a certain bandwidth. They should be able to get it.

Same thing with overbooking on airplanes. You paid for a seat you should be able to use it.

Your argument wouldn't work there either.
You'd like additional data to the above? Sure! Many people are doing it all the time, and so can you.

This is whats perfect about web3 that most pundits miss

It takes the looooong web 2.0 funnels and flips it to a single step:

Your customers pay to interact with your app at all and there is insatiable demand at the beginning, unless you do some boomer-level system design that is based on pretending that a 3 trillion dollar crypto native audience doesnt exist already and you need to onboard a bunch of technophobes.

In comparison, the entire web 2.0 ethos basically sums up to getting a customer to put their credit card into your website for a small charge, as a funnel for a bigger recurring charge later

in web3 all of your users are at the last step at the very beginning. they are even paying for all your hosting costs. they are paying to update your database! and your actual business model of being some form of plumbing with a transaction fee, if you didnt just sell a token collection, is fine and has low overhead costs

this will continue attracting developers and their entire audience in perpetuity because the entire web 2.0 ecosystem cannot compete with that
