I’m also 50.

If I were 22 in 2025 instead of being 22 in 1996, I would definitely do what I needed to do to exchange as much money as possible for my labor instead of toiling away at an enterprise dev job making $70K a year when instead I could be graduating college making $170K to $200k+.

I did do my bid in a FAANG working remotely between the ages of 46-49 and I saw first hand the doors it opens and the experience that college grads had that they couldn’t get anywhere else,

Hell, it open doors for me. There is no way I could have found jobs as quickly as I did both last year and the year before without it.

Also even at 46-49 I learned a lot that has helped me since I left.

On another note: after my youngest graduated, my wife and I sold everything we owned and after traveling for a year, we settled down in our vacation home (a unit in a condotel we own).

We rent it out when we decide to travel for an extended period of time. The “hotel” part of the condotel takes care of everything.

Burning in a dense residential area…no. Draconian clearing of all trees and brush except for selective fire-aware landscaping…yes, but you are paying significant money to make the residential area look uglier (in some eyes, it’s just a High Desert aesthetic for others), a hard sell.

Visibility is essential, and visibility is owned by the devops team. ALl the resources have to be tagged with the team that owns those resources, and you should have a meeting once a month or so with that team where you bring to them a report of "here are all the resources we have assigned to you, do you agree?" and if they agree, then great, they are responsible for it, and if they don't agree, then now you have to have a conversation where you bring in the PMs and the EMs, and the head of finance if you need to.

And it's essential that you check in regularly, rather than just give them a dashboard and say "ok, you go look here and tell me if anything is amiss", because they will never look.
So if you are an software engineer at Salesforce can you get anything you want by threatening to leave? Or are they still trying to push people out and reduce headcount?
Right on! I missed this summer and the fall classic, but plan to head back to at least one of them this year.

the only reason Im still paying for M365 is that my grandpa can't use anything else than MS Word, despite of all the awful changes MS made to its UI thought out the years.

Old people stubborness can be interesting.

Maintening that subscription is a pain, as MS occasionally change default save location to SharePoint. I'm the sole admin and I've never touched any thing.

Impossible. You can't even feed yourself and will die before then.

> effectively deduct all employed salaries

This is only useful if you have income to deduct. It's less useful than a fund raise to begin with.

> You can only offer 75k to junior engineers

As above. I have $0 then I can't offer anything to anyone.

> You only need to reach a valuation of 10 million after 5 years

In the past there have been cases of higher valuation from just demos or outsourced MVPs. As long as you have the connections than the engineers. This is valuation not earnings from an actual product.
I had no idea. That his likeness is still protected IP so long after he died really drives home just how utterly broken the current IP law is.
The Trader Joe's at University and MLK is very recent, only since 2010 [1]. It used to be an auto-parts store before. Perhaps it used to be a grocery store back in 1955?

What's with the advice about interrupts and undebounced signals?

What does it mean that a flip-flop gets confused? What kind of undesired operation could that cause?

Because, quite honestly, if connecting directly means occasional transient failures, then having less hardware is a tempting tradeoff on small PCBs.

I’ve always thought that generation of intermediate representations was the way to go. Instead of generating concrete syntax, generate AST. Instead of generating PNG, generate SVG. Instead of generating a succession of images for animation, generate wire frame or rigging plus script.

Once you have your IR, modify and render. Once you have your render, apply a final coat of AI pixie dust.

Maybe generative models will get so powerful that fine-grained control can be achieved through natural language. But until then, this method would have the advantages of controllability, interoperability with existing tools (like Intellisense, image editors), and probably smaller, cheaper models that don’t have to accommodate high dimensional pixel space.
This was always a myth and never a real thing, except for at the highest, bleeding edge talent levels.

Especially for Enterprise Saas companies like Salesforce/Microsoft/Oracle/etc who know full well that their real competency isn’t actually the software…it’s distribution. Employees aren’t choosing to use those products, they get forced into them by management/IT or literal monopoly.

Sales is everything in B2B software and always has been. Product-led growth in B2B has always been fantasy erotic-fiction outside of chat/notes apps.

You're the author of this paper? Johnathan Bartlett?

If so, I used your calculus textbook to pass calculus at WGU. I had passed calculus in high school and university a long time ago, but when I finally decided to finish my degree I had to take it again, and got to choose my own text book; I liked your textbook best, I can see it sitting on my bookshelf right now.

EVERYONE. Like with everything on Earth it's everyone's responsibility. It all adds up.

The way where everything is in isolation and silos really doesn't work and with everyone not having the full picture nothing is ever optimal.
I'm not a vegetarian etc., but you could argue that humans are both the only hope for something different, but also the only species capable of a particular sort of cruelty that comes from the society we live in for animals and other people.

That is, animals may kill to eat, but humans slaughter animals to get tastier/more convenient/etc., food.

Oh absolutely, most of the value is being there not in the credit hours. At Cambridge Uni you can't just condense the time for a BA, no matter how brilliant you are. You spend time 3y on learning. If you're fast, you just learn more.

it's just a generic idea. if you want to do something try to not to force yourself. will power is a limited resource. find an easy way. 'lazy break' is sort of application of this idea. the task may be complex, just mentally step back, take a look at the whole picture, imagine next steps to do. all in relaxed way, may be walking, having a cup of coffee.

my problem is the opposite, sometimes i'm too focused and forget about the other thing to do. this lunatic state can last for days.
Yep, I remember reading about these as a youth and thinking, wow what a random bit of biology. Then I had a kid and was like, oh, I see why this is in there.
If you're genuinely curious then we now know that much of these instances of blacklisting were due to all-but-direct intervention by the Biden administration, effectively unconstitutionally.
I don't think so actually. If you can "make yourself" go to bed at a "normal time" then you don't have non-24.

People with non-24 usually have a longer than 24-hour cycle and can't "make themselves" go to sleep consistently at the same time (people with 24.5 or 25-hour days probably have some success with this though because if they stay up a bit later one day and still wake up at the same time, then by the time a proper bedtime rolls around they'll be close enough to their the sleep phase of their cycle, and tired enough to fall asleep at that time)
A +1 to everyone else who has said get a lawyer.

I'll add another angle: financial.

You have invested years of time and presumably thousands of dollars into your schooling. Their threat that they will not allow you to graduate unless you give them unpaid labor without a clear boundary condition is a threat. While I haven't seen the correspondence, from what you said it appears they're doing the moral equivalent of one of those sitcom situations where someone is compelled to do what the other person wants under a threat, and even when they've done it, the threatening person keeps the threat.

A good lawyer (and not all lawyers are good) will help you understand your rights and your position.

As others have said, this is not an escalation of aggression, and not only don't you have to tell them whether you've seen a lawyer, unless the lawyer is speaking on your behalf- you don't have to tell them anything, and you shouldn't tell them, or tell us (in case they read this, which they likely will).

A lawyer in this case is more of a scholarly resource, telling you what your options are.
yeah, I expect there are some foundational differences in world view at play.

IMO, its not slavery because it is 100% optional. It is a restricted privilege that prisoners actively seek and compete for.

It is sought after because it is an improvement over the alternative. I'm honestly unsure how this can be framed as a negative.
In general when you're a "prisoner with a job," that's slavery, even if there's some pittance of a wage involved. They're paid $10 a day, let's not pretend this is a fair wage for a fair day's work. This is a form of economic warfare against the working class, who shouldn't have to compete against prison labor.
I guess it's not eating flesh, but it's still causing a lot of harm is what I'm hearing.

In our family, we eat vegetarian every second night. Basically vegan 3/4 nights a week. However I do find myself running to the fridge for cheese or a whey protein shake for desert quite often.

While sales is true for large enterprises, in SME and lower ones, it's users' wants and value-for-money that dominate. This domination can lead to nowhere, but quite occasionally, it leaks out as users move jobs and into positions of "power" in the larger enterprise, and choose their familiar software instead of the existing/encumbent ones.

Then these new startups get a foot hold, and become the dominant software, grow in size and learn how to B2B sale as well.
I don't think you understand how the allocator in the article works. Allocating and freeing are already O(1), creating and closing the allocator are necessarily O(n). There is no search being done here.
It's pretty bleak, I agree. I'm concerned regular people are going to be more and more trampled on in the near future.
Except the policy in question was never actually abused as the student did not receive an API key as requested. A proportional response would be a simple denial for API key and reminder of policy. Not preventing a student from graduating. Unless the student is lying here, this is an outrageous response on the part of UW.
Yeah, we eat vegetarian / vegan every second night.
Shows that having H1Bs you can hold hostage lets you get away with anything. If it weren’t for their captive workforce they would have had far bigger problems than an unreliable service, rapidly declining user base, and imploding revenue.
I wonder if there is a problem with the data collection at that time? From your link, it looks like to drop much lower than 0.33, lowest value on that chart is 0.11, which is massively lower than any previous worldwide value, before jumping up to ~10.
Yes, there are parts of California that are uninsurable against wildfires. Technically they could be insurable but State regulators will not allow insurance companies to raise premiums sufficient to cover the actuarial risk. The necessary premiums are prohibitively expensive for homeowners, but anything less risks bankrupting the insurance companies and increases their reinsurance costs which also must be passed on to homeowners.

This is mostly on the California government, since the high insurance premiums are a side effect of disastrous wildfire mitigation policy in California. More proactive and competent wildfire mitigation would reduce the risk and therefore make insurance premiums more reasonable.
For the `Chunk` list, this isn't one of the cases where linked lists are harmful. Each use only touches the top of the stack, never iterates. Also, linked lists are much easier to make thread-safe.

For the `LinkedPtr` list, the bad case is only hit during the destruction of the pool, and then only if you allocate a lot of memory. And given the overhead of deallocation I'm not sure the array approach would measurably help.

I don't see anywhere a binary tree search would be useful here, since there are no loops used for lookup (on allocation they're pushed in order, but when freed chunks are pushed in arbitrary order; this does mean no double-free protection).
I'm surprised this is upvoted so much. All we have is a LinkedIn post and a GitHub repo. We haven't seen any of the original emails/writing from UW, not have we heard UW's view.

Am I being overly skeptical here?

I moved to unincorporated exurban Maryland. The state government is a mess, but it’s mostly preoccupied dealing with Baltimore. Our county is great. Good schools with modest per student spending, the friendliest police I’ve ever interacted with. Even our county landfill is one of the cleanest and most orderly facilities I’ve ever seen. Nicer than most of New York City for sure.
How I like to think about it is that given an expression with a derivative dy/dx, we can always insert an arbitrary variable s that varies with both x and y, so that we can obtain an ordinary quotient (dy/ds)/(dx/ds) by the chain rule, and manipulate it normally with no qualms about what it means. As you say, second (and higher) derivatives can be calculated with the quotient rule.
All of these except for the last require medical staff, not security. In my experience, the medical staff at festivals of all sizes are amazing people. I don't see how an illegal rave could ever have medical staff though so it's a personal risk that people can choose to take.

As for people not understanding boundaries, small groups of adults, up to a couple of hundred, are generally self policing. I've witnessed a couple of guys being forceably ejected from gatherings, but over the hundred or so I've probably attended in my life (raves I mean) I've only seen this being required a couple of times.
An oddly accurate description of AI by H.P. Lovecraft
found in a book by H.P. Lovecraft ... the Call of Cthulhu

"The most mercful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all
its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it
was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction,
have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge
will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall
either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a
new dark age.
Worn as a ring, it probably wouldn't be great for sensing, as I'd suggest it'd hamper vibration and fine feedback. Some people do trial the experience by attaching it to themselves, usually with glue or tape.

I think having it externally would be an inconvenience, and if it wasn't done constantly, I don't think the brain would learn to interpret it in quite the same way. It'd also likely get in your way during daily tasks. Ideally, you want to put it in a location with high sensation (this is why many people choose their fingertips), so any advantageous location would probably be a hindrance.

You could always wear a magnetic ring for lifting, though. I actually purchased my father a magnet-filled wristband for holding screws, bolts, etc, once I realised the utility of such a thing via my implant.

Not every city is drowning in those kinds of liabilities.
The reason linked lists are used is for large enough allocations, there is no overhead. You use the space the application isn't using. In addition, if all allocations are the same size it is O(1), you just look at the head of the list.

More sophisticated strategies bucket allocations by size, this has fixed overhead. You can also use balanced trees for more memory efficiency, but this is slower.

For small allocations (8 bytes) that are too small to contain pointers allocators will allocate a block and use bitsets.
Meanwhile all I've ever wanted for Christmas was a notion of size that admits (A ⊆ B) ∧ (A ≠ B) ⇒ size(A) < size(B).
Interesting I’ll have to track it a bit. I’ve always adjusted a bit in winter but never thought to measure / optimize it.
Note that some of the small flagged regions are spurious triggers on industrial waste heat (oil refineries, power plants, and something else). There aren't as many fires as that map naively would suggest.
Microsoft? Or LinkedIn?

I had completely forgotten that LinkedIn is fully owned by Microsoft.
Except that paulg's essay was about startups, not about an OSS project.

Servo has no "customers" as such. It has potential future project users and there may be a support/development economic return for those users to fund further work.

It's very similar to Rust the language. Rust itself is not a startup or a company product.

The economics are completely different.

Yes and.

Yes, and even if it doesn't go to court, the university will know that it will cost them time and money.

It's entirely possible that university president or higher administration is unaware of the situation, and if they were, will intervene. The best way to do that is to have it brought to their attention via a legal letter, which then means they need to bring in their lawyers.

A good lawyer for the university won't want to fight because fighting is not in the best interest of the university. A good lawyer will say "We threatened the student with this? No good can come of that... let him register, let him graduate and make this all go away."

That doesn't mean the client (the university) will take it, but overall fighting isn't in their interest either.

Pool allocators don't walk the list or search anything though. All interactions are only at the list head and O(1), as all free nodes are just that, free and equal.
Everyone, but it is up to one team to enforce standards (tagging) such that you can do proper cost attribution to teams and products.

Depending on how you add infra there are tools you can use to estimate the cost of a change at the pr level before it goes live.
I'm not entirely sure about the others but their Rambler line is definitely dishwasher safe (I own a couple).
It's very literally slavery. You don't have to deny it because the practice is legal in the United States. As you say, they can do this work or they can sit in state prison. I don't have to squint to see how that's a threat. These prisoners didn't volunteer to be in prison. If you gave them the choice of fighting fires or going free I doubt many would pick the $10.00 a day firefighting gig.

While you can theoretically talk to 65,536 ports, a lot of old hardware only wired up the lowest 10 or so bits of the address space. So the parallel port at 0x378 might also be accessible at 0x1378, 2378... F378.
i spent part of my childhood on a farm. i watched rabbits and pigs being slaughtered. and of course we ate them.

recently our neighbors slaughtered a goat that my kids had seen alive just before, and we all ate it. we also eat the chicken from the kids grandparents village home that they saw being slaughtered there.

kids killing animals for no reason are an exception, as are kids refusing to eat animals that they saw alive.

if they weren't we'd all have become vegetarians centuries or even millennia ago.

(slightly related: it bothers me that some people think kids should be protected from experiencing how meat is produced. if you eat it, you should know where it came from)

Data point: I found mine to be between 25 and 26 hours.

Probably a contributing factor to difficulty in getting to sleep "at a good hour".

OTOH mild sleep deprivation has been shown to counter depression, so there's that.
The last point is wisdom that I only acquired over time. I also used to be very aggressive in publicly attacking institutions, like TFA, and it definitely has downsides, even with best intentions of calling out injustice.
