You need to spend time with someone to build a relationship, but that takes a lot of effort, patience, and vulnerability, especially when you're starting from zero. But actively participating in various interest groups and other social

Or you can be real with yourself and find someone in the same ballpark as yourself. Being single may work long term for some people, but I suspect that hollow loneliness will catch up to most eventually.

I would certainly keep myself engaged and busy with my hobbies. But that is unlikely to produce anything of real value for anyone else.

Inflation is their primary lever actually. Why bother paying down the debt when you can simply make it worth less? It's fiscally irresponsible, but that's how it works.

This says nothing of economic output. If you just hand out money to people, that has an economic output of zero. Short term this might work, but long term, I believe it would shrink the economy, and leave it saddled with people that don&#

Maybe I've just become more aware of the origins of the products I buy, but I have encountered a lot of Canadian things lately: Apollo electric scooter, Fluance sound system, 1Password service, Zealios keyboard switches, etc... I don

Some places outright refuse to prosecute or report crimes (looking at you San Francisco), but I assume homicide is still taken seriously, even in the most liberal of places.

Went from Comcast (supposed) 900/20 Mbps connection to Google Fiber 2.0/1.0 Gbps connection. Unlike Comcast, I actually get the advertised speed with Google Fiber. I would frequently get no more than 70 Mbps down with Comcast.

Who wants to live in a bubble for the rest of their life, with the constant threat of death at every turn? Completely isolated with no internet, no real source of food or water, no entertainment, no resources to build things with, no way t

The only way this would constitute a "blocker" is if they actively prevented every one else from using the same connector due to patents etc... I don't know whether that was the case, but simply "not wanting to change t

I had this attitude too until I got sucked into a very large Python project. I now refuse to use Python for anything bigger than a few pages of code. It's so poorly suited to correctness that it takes an enormous amount of test cover

Unfortunately Mozilla has little input on Rust these days. They fired nearly everyone working on it.

I can't answer that for anyone but myself, but I will say the journey of raising kids changed me significantly, such that the "happiness" I experienced previous to having a family seems so shallow in comparison.

by xedrac 3y ago
I have six kids. During the earlier years of their upbringing, it was very difficult. I'm not surprised surveys would reflect this. But now that they are old enough to be mostly autonomous, I realize it has been the most rewarding e

> Currently, puzzlefs is implemented as a userspace filesystem (FUSE). A read-only kernel filesystem driver is underway. Ahh interesting. I hadn't heard of PuzzleFS, but it sounds like they are anticipating Rust support will become

I know Bcachefs is nearing its big merge into mainline Linux, but I wonder if the current state of Rust support in the kernel would allow for something like Bcachefs to be written. I know I can write a driver in Rust, but could I write a f

For nearly every argument made in the article, I found myself siding with the TOML approach. The "no non-ascii keys except wrapped in quotes" thing is a bit wonky I admit.

If I could run Linux on one if these, that would be something. Apple makes great hardware, but I am not as fond of their walled garden software.

I interpret it as though he has a family, and struggles to prioritize them over the rat race. That's what I struggle with, and when I sit back and consider the impermanence of it all, it makes me want to spend more time with my family

I've spoken up in many retrospectives, but when nothing changes, it's hard to take them seriously. What's the point of a retrospective if your feedback is simply discarded?

I'll be the first to admit that managing a complex project's timeline is not a skill of mine. All I know is that the franken-scrum monstrosities that I have been subjected to in various organizations have all had a very negativ

I've used Rust for years in embedded Linux devices and more recently in signal processing.

I love Factorio and have >1000 hours in the game. Two things I would love to see: - Steam cloud sync fixed for large save files. Right now, you'll eventually reach a point where you can't save your game to the cloud anymore.

There's certainly a learning curve - it's a form of programming that must be learned.

What's the point of creating a language that isn't used? If the goal of the language is to academically research new programming techniques, then fine. Other languages will eventually adopt some of the more useful ideas and indus

As a Haskell developer, this was hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.

Yes, that's the one. It's tucked away in the corner, just around the bend as you walk from terminal A to B. I couldn't say for certain if it's actually in terminal A or B, but I think it's closer to B than A.
