It's good to see someone express this. I really hate working and you've enumerated my concerns about stopping. The conclusion I came to is that I need about $3M to provide a life-long safety net, then I can try just making enough

Well, sure, if you consider 55 as early retirement, I could see how people would be ready to check out and do nothing. These are people that have likely worked full time for the last 30+ years. What I want to know is what happens at scale

Just out of curiosity, how much do you have to grow to sell and where do you sell it? Is that the kind of thing you could do in your backyard for a side business, or do you have to have acres of property? Not sure if it's a farm->wh

I used to have your view about this too, but I've lost confidence in your premise that "society works and thrives when we've a common goal". I don't think we can really know what makes society thrive, and some of th

Is there an acceptable way anywhere? I can understand suicide rather than work, but that only takes you as far as "not working". I want to get to "not working so I can follow my passions".

Yes, that's one way we get homeless people. Another option is to be so toxic about the situation that you force the child out of the house. That's what would have happened to me, so I left before that.

I actually use RAID6 with mdadm, and it's also portable to different machines. I was kind of surprised the first time I moved the array to a new machine and it all just worked.

What I'm saying is that the cost of being on a non-standard distro is greater than the benefit the freenas UI provides. Even if you want to run RAID, it's one or two commands with mdadm. FreeBSD and ZFS makes everything more com

Sure it is! Cosmetics are an enormous industry for this reason. For men, it's more about having a proper haircut, facial hair that suits your bone structure (which is kind of men's makeup), clothes that fit, and good posture. If

I had to buy a mattress last year and did a pretty deep dive into the world of mattresses. What I learned is that there's no meaningful research on what's "best", and sleep experts say that it's 100% personal prefe

Remote work probably makes social skills more important, because your coworkers lose the benefit of non-verbal cues. I work remotely and I try to convey a lot of personality and availability to stay integrated with the team.

I think this cuts both ways. I'm getting older, but I get along really well with the fresh meat. What works for me is to come across as an OG hacker and stay up to date on whatever the hot tech is. I'm also as immature as ever a

It's also not a bad idea to be rich, and whatever the most desirable gender and ethnicity are for your area, but those things are less actionable than social skills, fitness, and beauty.

I'm pretty convinced that the most important thing you can do for your career after achieving basic technical competence is to be more attractive, both physically and socially. The reality is that you're going to have an easier ti

I looked at running FreeNAS, but it didn't make any sense to me. I can put as many hard drives as I want in a cheap PC with a ryzen cpu and run samba. It takes maybe 5 minutes to set up, and then you also have a distro of your choosi

It's also annoying because SR-IOV would be a wonderful thing for consumer GPUs, but it would make it too easy to use consumer GPUs for cloud providers. Right now, you can run a VM with qemu and pass through the GPU to the guest OS, get

I got into coding by writing hacks, cheats, and bots. It's one of the few ways to directly translate code into something that feels like a super power.
