   Any recommendations on learning more about what constitutes idiomatic zig? This is an issue I have with learning any new language - it’s kind of hard for me to figure out what writing idiomatic code in that language looks like. I usually go

   Also, I want to add a more positive anecdote to accompany some of the more negative ideas of principal engineers. I’m a senior software engineer (L5 in FAANG terms) and I’ve worked with a handful of principal engineers who have all been inc

   The pay for principal SWE can get up to $1m+ (at large sv tech companies, or even at startups assuming their equity pans out). That $800k number is more accurate for staff/senior staff.

   Thanks for that term. I found the Commons Clause[0] that goes along with any existing permissive license. [0]: https://commonsclause.com/

   Doesn’t answer your question but something I’ve wondered about as well. I don’t maintain any open source software (yet?) but if I were to start a project I’d likely use a permissive license. I don’t want to start a philosophical flame war a

   Heh, this has been top of mind for me. Since graduating I haven’t paid any attention to my GPA and it’s been almost a decade but now I’m applying to grad school and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Also, despite my professors telling me abo

   I apologize, I didn’t mean to make a value statement about whether or not what’s considered a “top tier school” means as much as some folks think it does. That said, schools with big names have bigger endowments and more connections etc so

   The article specifically calls out top tier schools, which pay more. You can also increase your stipend by TAing in the summer. Source: currently applying to grad school Better source: https://www.cmu.edu/stugov/gsa&#x2

    Big fan of Caddy as well. I recently listened to the Sourcegraph Podcast episode with Matt Holt. Pretty great episode, would recommend! https://about.sourcegraph.com/podcast/matt-holt/

    Gotcha. I’ve been slowly adding weight training to my treatment plan, I really should find a pool… thanks for the response!

    Thanks for the reply! I’ve very consciously changed my diet to one where I pay attention to nutritional content, but yeah I’m sure nutrition has an impact. I mentioned in another response that I’m very skeptical of fasting doing anything. I

    Thanks for the response. I’ve been doing yoga, swimming is not something I’ve tried. Agreed on how crude tools can be effective, I’ve already made lots of changes (I only use a standing desk). I’m very skeptical of saying being effective, b

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’m open to reading another book so I’ll give it a shot.

    Yeah, good question. I really don’t know but my guess would be no based on how little most specialists actually know about this stuff

    Well none of the doctors have even discussed disc replacement, only fusion. I hear you on the insurance front. I’ve had “good” insurance this whole time but I’m still several tens of thousands of dollars more broke now

    Did you have any MRIs that showed actual damage? That’s the boat I’m in. I’ve tried a lot of things and nothing has worked so far. I’m happy to give another book a shot, but everything else I’ve read so far has not been applicable.

    I’m following along this thread in a desperate attempt to find a solution. I’ve been struggling with chronic lower back pain for almost 2 years now. Unfortunately, 2 years of many different physical therapists and doctors (nerve blocks + co

    Not during the last two years but ~2017 I quit and moved to a new city. It was a great experience, I eventually got a new job after 3 months that paid double what I was making before. Those 3 months off were such a breath of fresh air, and

    Agreed, but some sites are unavoidable. For example, I recently had a website break on me that was important for me to access (hospital network website, had to check test results). This approach potentially allows me to browse the web witho

    I recently added some books by Nils M Holms[0] to my library. Given some of the titles you mentioned, I think you might like them. I enjoy their writing style. [0]: https://www.t3x.org/

    Not really the new tab look, but menu bars and other interface elements are more consistent now. Things like the settings hamburger and the “allow mic/camera” popup. There are still some elements that lack a consistent look and feel (I

    I didn’t realize this change[0] was introduced. The good news is you can disable it, the concerning part is if that lever will be removed at some point. I guess I’m more concerned about targeted ads, and my browser behavior being logged&#x2

    I’m not arguing that it makes anything slightly worse. I’m arguing that it doesn’t make it worse at all. Of course, this is subjective. I think this change is overall more consistent than previous Firefox versions (menus). I also think it r

    I felt their blog post [0] kind of did that. Maybe not as detailed as you’re suggesting (which I agree would be nice to see) but it got the point across. [0]: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/news/modern-cl

    I wouldn’t say I love constant change. I think the tool is better and more functional now. It’s more consistent and less distracting.

    I do not. I’m a software engineer. I prefer clean and minimal interfaces and I think Firefox does a good job with that. And judging by some other responses, I’m happy to hear that I’m not alone.

    Since the new Firefox UI updates, I really feel like I’m maybe the only one who actually likes the new look. Everything I read about Firefox lately is overwhelmingly negative. Either that, or it’s just the negative opinions being amplified
