Looking to progress to the next level of my career with challenging work with tangible effects.

Definitely did not receive an email after Privacy blocked the transaction from happening on my DO card.

It was only a mirage.

Many times, if you're having to take on another job, you don't have the luxury of "time" to find the best one, e.g. pays well, has benefits, etc. You take the first or second job that comes to you and work for as much time as possible at that one as well. Speaking from experience, people don't take on multiple jobs just to work them for an hour or two a day.

As one of those neighbors and colleagues, I genuinely thank you for sharing this perspective.

It's always eye-opening to see how things like this are received on HN. A private company is free to do whatever it wants, and investing in the under-served and/or minority communities does no harm to others. Sure, Apple doing this is self-serving; I don't believe that it would have been done otherwise. However, these programs will help impart useful skills, and may have the effect of allowing for more economic mobility for these communities, which is wonderful and still hurts no one. I mean, seriously, $100 million pales in comparison to the institutionalized wealth disparity between the majority white population and long-marginalized minority communities, but it's a start.

I see your points, but I admittedly have a different perspective.

Sure, no one would force a person to expose themselves to that risk. However, for much of the population, there comes a point where they have to participate in the wider society for necessities, e.g. groceries; obviously, there are a few exceptions to that statement. Sure, they could get their groceries delivered, if they can afford it. But if they can't afford it, then they must participate in order to continue to live. All of this doesn't even begin to touch on essential workers, who are forced to work and may not have an easy time attaining another job.

The freedoms and rights aren't being restricted for the benefit of few; it's for the _safety_ of many.

The example for driving doesn't match here, I feel. One can observe cars driving erratically and do their best to avoid them or one choose to take an alternative mode of transport in order to avoid getting into a car accident. But viral transmission doesn't have any realistic similarity to traffic deaths. One cannot see viral particles in the air as they get transmitted from one person to another. And anyone who comes into contact with that person is at risk from the moment the transmitter contracts the virus until they become immune. Traffic deaths don't work like that.

One cannot choose to not to be a part of society when they are required to participate to be able to live. That ability to live is a right afforded to everyone. Why is someone's right to life worth less than someone's temporarily restricted freedom to do what they want?

Are you comfortable dying for my right to see an improv show? Because I'll tell you right now, I'm sure as hell not comfortable dying for yours.

Is smashing the already transient lives of real people worth the bottom lines of a few restaurants?

It doesn't seem right that one should be forced to go before it's "their" time as a result of the masses' inability to care about the collective health of their neighbors.

As long as you like it, that's what matters, right?

That answer probably lies more so with the tracker's software and approved clients than this project's implementation.

I've been continuing work on my BitTorrent tracker software written in Rust: https://github.com/adcrn/tyto

If anyone's got some tips on how to optimize it, I'm all ears!

Generalist developer with projects in a number of different domains. Looking for something challenging and impactful. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this! I'm writing a Sega Genesis emulator right now and your short bit on Z80 ALU instructions is really helpful. Cheers!

Here's a list of tweaks that you can try: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/wiki/Code-snippets-fo...

I find that I really don't allocate set time periods for reflection on hard problems. Instead, I tend to think about pieces of it over hours and days in order to flesh them out properly, and tend to "attach" a piece to the solution whenever I feel like it's ready to go.
