Been in your situation many times. In my case, I'm just restless by nature - I've had a number of jobs most people would love to have and I love having them until I don't and I go into a spiral of anxiety and depression. I find I have to pull the ripcord before I start self-destucting.

In my (extensive) experience, I find that there IS a way out and it is rarely found in encouraging message board platitudes. Here is how I extract myself from work situations, good, bad, and otherwise.

- Form a plan. Well, duh. But the truth is that every "I hate my job" situation is born of decisions you made and can be solved by decisions you get to make. In your case it sounds like the reasons you took the job are now gone. That's GREAT news! You no longer have to satisfy those things and can start doing what's best for you.

The next part of the plan is having a plan. If my cases (as with most), the only thing keeping me in the job was the financial commitments I had in life. I have a wife, an ex-wife, child support, houses, health insurance, etc. It addds up so simply quitting is never an option. I find that the way to return my fire, my energy after work (and even before work) when my job has taken away my will to live is to build something new. I don't know what you do for work but it doesn't matter: everyone has SOMETHING they can teach, share, do perform to make more money than they make at work. Everyone. For me it's consulting (fractional CRO) and writing (blogs, case studies, whitepapers, ebooks). In the age of AI any skill you have can be polished up and marketed with a $20 ChatGPT subscription, a WebFlow site (skip WordPress because Matt is a baby) and a weekend of focus. Uber driver, dog walker, fence painter, driveway pressure-washer, there is so much money out there for people willing to TRY that it isn't funny. "I can't replace my income" is a myth and those of us not scared to try live in a different world than the rest of you.

Next, and this is crucial, you need a Burn the Boats deadline. Without a deadline you will never leave your job. Absent any other forcing function, you HAVE to put a date on the calendar and tell yourself constantly "I am quitting on this day." You'd be surprised how much a deadline will enforce behavior.

Now, every day when you wake up WRITE DOWN with pen and paper, not on your iphone or as a mental note, the ONE thing you are going to do today that has the highest amount of leverage in executing your plan. Every day, weekends included. There is no time to waste. Even if you feel you don't know exactly what to do, pick what you THINK is the most important thing and do that.

Finaly, draft your resignation letter and keep it in your pocket, make it the screensaver on your phone, tape it to the bathroom mirror.

good luck, you can do it and you'll be thankful you did. Because once you've done it once you know you can do it again...and you'll never ever go to work at a job you hate another day in your life.
I'm pretty sure that 9 out of 10 dentists would recommend this.
Show HN: A Chrome Extension to Organize Google Docs into Folders
Hey HN,

I built a Chrome extension called Folder Manager for Google Docs that lets you organize your Google Docs into folders, something Google Docs (surprisingly) still doesn’t support natively.

Why I Built This

I use Google Docs a lot, but managing documents inside Drive is slow and frustrating. There’s still no proper way to organize documents into folders, quickly move files. I searched for existing solutions but couldn’t find anything simple and effective, so I decided to build one.

How It Works

- Collapsible sidebar to quickly organize your Google Docs into folders

- Easily move and manage documents without digging through Drive

- Pin folders for faster access

I built this primarily for myself, but after using it for a couple of months, I realized others might find it useful too. It’s still a work in progress, and I’d love to hear your feedback—especially on features or improvements you’d like to see!

Give it a try and let me know what you think. Happy to answer any questions!
Generally the rant is not about those who are not capable of making the "right choices", but about those who are capable but are not. I know a someone who was getting straight A's in school until they decided to drop out and have a few kids - I feel robbed when she is getting help because she always was able to make "good choices" and instead I'm supposed to forego some luxury I want to support her as well. I know many more people who are unable to make "right choices" and I want to help them.
> When you sit down at your first job...

Or do your first interview. We've passed on candidates who clearly rely heavily on LLMs to get through their work. Interestingly, others have mentioned face-to-face conversations as a way to assess skills. My company doesn't use LeetCode, etc. and instead do 1:1 evaluations with a staff dev.
I'm not sure that's true at all. Seminars are a thing although participation is often not the only grading output. And participation absolutely factors into grades in many at least medium-ish sized business and law classes.
Been there, done that. My granddad had a saying: "the best time to look for a new workplace is while you are at the workplace". My advise is just to keep looking and try to tolerate your job while you are looking for a new one or you might end up having a worse job(I've done that as well).

Now, trust me, I know that feeling of waking up and thinking "oh crap, I have to deal with this shit again". This was my exact thought at my old job every single morning. I was lied to about what I would be doing and worse still, I was put in a team with the top 3 most repugnant people I've ever met. I was simply winging it the entire time without feeling much guilt since I got lied to and ended up doing something which was way off what I was promised. I am a workaholic - I'm more than happy to work overtime, on holidays or weekends and I often do. But at my old job I was never in a hurry to start and was out the nanosecond I could. When I stumbled upon my current job, I found out that a friend was working here and I called him and asked him one question and one question alone: "what are the people like". Turns out some of the coolest people I've worked with. And this is my advise - push through as much as you can while actively looking for a new job without rushing it and pick your choices. There's always gonna be trade offs. In my case, I'm prioritizing people I have to work with over comfort. From what I gather, you should focus on the same.

Zelenskyy didn't run on anti Russian. He gained support because he ran on anti corruption and ending the wars in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. He was less anti Russian than Petro Poroshenko, which is why Zelenskyy received more share than Poroshenko in those regions as opposed to more western parts of Ukraine.

Them having high pro russian perc: https://sites.tufts.edu/gis/files/2020/07/hayward_olivia_GIS...

Also those oblasts have a high ethnic population, at around ~38% https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/Wild-Blue-Yonder/Articles/A...

I'm not saying those regions are more pro russia than Ukraine, but that there is non minor population in there that is pro russia, ethnically russian or speaks russian - which is why russia wants them.

What do you think the russian's end goal here is? To capture all of Ukraine? And then go to Europe?

> At the rate you're spreading disinformation here, one does start to wonder if you're even in a Western country lmao

My country shares the border with Ukraine - I'm not separated from them by an ocean. Just because you don't like facts, doesn't make it disinformation.
K8S is at a point now where I'd probably try to configure whatever I can inside the cluster as an operator or controller.

There are going to be situations where that isn't practical, but the ability to describe all the pieces of your infra as a CRD is quite nice and it takes some pain out of having things split between terraform/pulumi/cdk and yaml.

At that point, you're just running your own little cloud instead of piggybacking on someone else's. Just need a dry-run pipeline so you can review changes before applying them to the cluster.

> Note that there have been rumours about Discord preparing to go public

That’s disappointing, but even now it’s hard to imagine they’re particularly profitable. The core functionality of Discord is entirely free and I doubt that Nitro / other paid features earn that much.
Which is actually great for a huge number of people driven to homelessness. If it's implemented in a way where it can act fast without years of waiting lists, it'd be hugely beneficial to people recently knocked off their feet being able to recover without falling deeper.
Because it's a video game accesory.

Building homes does not take very long if the regulations allow it. Most of the US needs to take a hard look at regulations. Often the problem is regulations won't allow a small house and so the homeless are forced on the street because they can't afford anything.
Well I clicked on your bitdefender link and they just list every possible harm a web site can do to you. Sounds to me like an "AI" hallucinating.
So you will find that a minority opposition person will have less attention than a leading person on the government side?
Good to know that this is possible, thank you!
That's a really interesting idea! As others have mentioned, the one thing I'd change is giving the AIs randomized names, disconnected from their model.

On the other hand, it would also be quite cool to see whether, at some point, the 'smarter' LLMs start realizing that they can probably easily mislead and manipulate their simpler cousins with fewer parameters. So maybe a separate leaderboard with openly visible model names?
Most people that use drugs do not suffer homelessness. They experience no social problems at all.

Even if there was a correlation, why do you assume there is a causation?
Also very interested in the parquet tuning. I have been building my data lake and most optimization I do is just with efficient partitioning.

Let me tell you a little story. Florida requires age verification for porn sites. Guess what? The internet is global. It might surprise you that since some of the biggest porn sites aren’t in the US, they just completely ignored the law.

However, parental controls still work.

Ask HN: In need of career and life advice
I'm a C/C++ application developer from India currently maintaining a legacy codebase. After a few years in this role, I feel stuck and unfulfilled with few opportunities to grow. This isn't just affecting my professional life - I'm at a crossroads and feeling lost about my direction both in my career and life overall.

- Should I learn Rust? But there seem to be fewer open positions comparatively.
- How can I find remote work opportunities since C++ has limited remote positions?
- Is grinding LeetCode worth it for FAANG opportunities?
- Should I pivot to web development?
- What other career paths should I consider?
- How do I break out of this stagnation?

I'm looking for guidance from someone with more wisdom and life experience than me. Thanks in advance.

The patriot missiles have been quite effective at taking out Russian missiles. I'd wait till that stuff happens before packing up and driving west. Typing this from central London which also gets Russian threats.

I think it's unlikely the Russians would nuke somewhere like that as they only have two decent cities which would be hit in retaliation. It's more likely if they went nuclear that they'd hit troops in Ukraine. Biden issued a lot of threats to Putin if they did that but under Trump I'm not sure much US retaliation would happen.

While both AI and the ICRC may feel that voicing moral outrage is mandatory, I'd assume that both of 'em are quite aware of how very <cough/> well <cough/> the Russians have treated civilians and PoW's in their recent wars.
Trump might be in the WH, but Congress would possibly not be controlled by the GOP.

Thank you for the advice, didn't consider using docker instead and saw a lot of potential alternatives to Vercel for self-hosting which support a great deployment experience (Caprover, Dokploy, Coolify, Stacktape etc.).

Agreed on prioritizing financial freedom.

What’s the point of a question like this? “Who pays for teachers” is a policy choice, like it always has been. Whether and how people are willing to pay for effective education vs. ineffective education depends on cultural values and priorities. Does that help?

edit to add: maybe what you’re implicitly asking is “Particularly in America where people view education as an indulgence and a luxury good, how would we ever fit this model into existing starvation-level budgets of the public school system, or into the existing academic institutions which pass all their costs onto students?” This doesn’t change my answer but it makes that answer a little more obvious.

You will however get half of the bandwidth and a lot more latency if you have to go through multiple systems.
Very strange reply but it's up to you whether or not you'll defend your position, I can't make you.

Anyways, just as an aside, I went through your account too and it's mostly just you arguing with people and litigating whether or not you've insulted them.

Forums like this largely exist for debate and discussion. It's all encouraged so long as you don't insult people, which some people seem to feel is a line you cross.

I also wish you well, though I am a bit weirded out just generally as I'm not used to certain interactions.
Any encryption/signature that can be broken in software on affordable hardware is just that: BROKEN.

What is your theory of harm? Who is harmed and how? Why should the law protect them by restricting the freedom of others?

AMD *sold* these CPUs to customers potentially running this tool on their hardware. That makes you think AMD should be entitled to restrict what the public is allowed to know about their products or does with them post sale?

Also if AMD is still in control shouldn't they be liable too? Should users get to sue AMD if an AMD CPU got compromised by malware e.g. the next side channel attack?

I might start to feel some sympathy for AMD and Intel if they voluntary paid all their customers for the effective post-sale performance downgrades inflicted on customers by mitigations required to make their CPUs fit for purpose.

> Are there actually any such cases of printers being destroyed by third party i

I don't know. Which is why I consider the whole discussion only interesting in principle. I.e. should manufacturers be liable for warranty when non-approved consumables are used in all cases, or never or in some cases, for specific consumables on specific products.

Yes, I'm only interested in the legal what-ifs here. And not about printers specifically either.

And here I think that both "never" and "in some cases for specific products" could make sense. Basically a legal carve out for printers or something. Because otherwise the only thing that happens is WORSE. It would mean manufacturers make parts and consumables harder to replace OR they have to make warranty shorter than they could.

An alternative scenario is this: Manufacturers offer a regular/minimum warranty but if consumers use only original consumables/parts, then the warranty is extended. Say 1 year for a printer if you use third party ink and 5 years if you keep buying the manufacturers ink. Should that be legal?
After being in software development for 20+ years, I have concluded that EVERY workplace is dysfunctional - it's just a matter of degree. The only time I wasn't drowning in workplace apathy was the 5 year stint I did as a freelancer. That of course wasn't stress free because you have absolutely no employment guarantee outside of the next 3 weeks.

Ultimately, as with much of life, you have to figure out what you're willing to settle for. You can:

* Be a software engineering consultant and have complete control, but also high risk
* Work at a large corp, where you'll have almost no control but also fewer hours and lower risk
* Join a startup, where you'll have longer hours, and moderate control and risk

Personally at this point in my life, I decide that I can stomach workplace inefficiency and stupidity if it means I can get a decent paycheck and I'm not being overworked.
I think if there's revenue, they will revise and scale.

I suspect it'll be more complicated than a flat subscription, which is unfortunate. I think it'll be a combination of bytes and number of connections.

Did you know Discord has a "store" that sells games?

I didn't, until my Discord account was compromised and the attacker was able to make $35 in purchases in the <60s it took me to realize it had happened and revoke all login sessions.

I'd say that's getting worse. Why does a communications app have a store at all? Why is it set up to pull from the credit card I use for Nitro without additional confirmation?
Businesses might prefer it, but businesses often prefer things that are known to be bad for society and individuals.
Yeah I get that it would have problems. But I'm saying that being a closed source product with staff is what allows it to fight against that.

Foss on the other hand just clones an app offers a download and calls it a day, "self host", sometimes they encrypt stuff so that not even devs or admins can see the content, they would think of this as respecting privacy, but then when they get a subpoena for a sex offender case, they can't turn up anything.
Well they can drift until they no longer are capable of interbreeding. Now you have two species with small populations lacking diversity.

Only if it's in the discord search index, which sometimes doesn't include all history, and it does some fuzzy elasticsearch query that works ok for most cases and awful for anything that isn't most cases.

The metadata filters are nice but they're also what keep it usable at all.
Discord search still sucks a lot because by nature discussions are largely unstructured. It's not really suitable for discussing specific topics - only perhaps types of topics. Discord threads could ostensibly fulfil the forum topic role, but their implementations is so utterly incompetent that it is genuinely puzzling. You can't search specific Discord threads, they often disappear from the left hand nav bar even if you subscribed to the thread. Whoever implemented the Threads in Discord should be kept away from computer systems because they are a danger to any application.

But even if Discord search was good, it still doesn't matter because it is not only a walled garden, it is a hermetically sealed chamber from which no information can escape.

They’re very much related to determining you’re gonna panic or not.
Russia won't ever use a nuke, because then India and China are not going to support them again ever. I am not scared a single bit of any nuclear saber rattling. The biggest threat is an uncontested russia.
What’s really happening is that countries are seeing the real America. The America that the global south knows all too well.

I don’t think regulation around the type of algorithms they can use around children is not worth investigating.

The problem - especially in USA is that whoever is in power when the "regulation" is added - whatever that regulation is - will be 100% political thing. And say 50% of people will not be happy about it. The power shifts, we either scrape or put other "regulations" in place to make the other 50% of people happy - ad infinitum... I am against regulations mostly because they are never about "protecting kids" or whatever the "spirit" should be - they are always political in nature (e.g. your kids should NOT read these books nonsense...)
Sure, but the Kubernetes cluster itself, plus its foundational extra controllers (e.g. FluxCD) are basically static and therefore should be configured in Terraform.
