Doesn't really explain why its faster. "Optimizing for every kind of CPU" is not really enough info.

Cool project nonetheless, I will go through the code later tomorrow

I definitely understand where your response comes from. You cannot work with people that keep screwing up the work you're doing. It costs the company money, it frustrates colleagues, and you end up just wasting people's time.

The thing is that I have now learned that I cannot do it. To play devil's advocate, I might just be a lazy bum. I still think it's good to be aware that you can walk away from a position that you know you cannot do.

Buckling up will not help me here. I've been upbuckling for two years now, and my buckles keep going down.

I would also like to add that I have read multiple comments talking about their struggles with either some neurodivergent diagnosis, or with depression. I've never seen this side of HN, and I am very grateful to have been a part of it.

I haven't met anyone in a similar boat, so seeing I'm not alone is very healing.

I resonate with you word-for-word. I kind of assumed people were also struggling, but I didn't realize how much struggling it ended up being.

I will post an update every now-and-then. It might not be very software-related (sorry dang!), so I will try to not post all of them on here.

I wish you the best as well! And you are free to contact me, I think talking to someone in a similar boat helps a lot.

You're not the only one commenting this. I do have to say it's quite re-assuring to know that this is a possibility.

For the people you know that have ADD, was medication sufficient? Did they still end up taking therapy for their neurodivergence? I wonder how long it takes before I can be a functional programmer again. I know it'll take a while.

I didn't really think about your third bulletpoint, that does make sense.

I think it's also good to be aware when you're lying to yourself. An easy example is how people talk about their gym membership.

"Oh, I would go, but I am so busy with X", or "I am already doing Y, so I don't really need to go". It's always a non-reason, while the true reason is that they just do not see a reason to go.

I don't get why this happens with work, though. I didn't love my job, but I definitely loved the colleagues, and I felt like I didn't do that bad of a job (ofcourse I see this differently now, I was doing a bad job).

I do agree that working for your career isn't the only options. Sometimes it's just to earn a living.

The things that both of them have in common is that they're sustainable. If you do not like your current position, make it sustainable for the time being. I was unable to do that, twice, so I think I'm at a point where I cannot do what I need to do.

Even the fun work (FOSS) is something I cannot sustain for 40 hrs a week, despite how much I enjoy it.

Time will tell, though

This is on my list! I do think that in my current environment I mostly hear what I have done wrong, and helping others would probably give a better outcome.

I know that's a very objective way of looking at it, I mean ofcourse volunteering is a good thing! But I wasn't sure if I was mentally prepared for it. I will definitely reach out to one nearby place that I know of.

That is re-assuring. Neurodivergence would explain a lot. For the time being, I am still in a state where I cannot get tested (for anyone that has experience with depression, the symptoms go hand in hand with ADD).

I was not planning on opening HN, but it has actually helped me :) I do have to admit I first asked a chat bot what the overall tone was before I opened it up myself.

Thank you very much, I needed to hear this.

Continuing partijgedrag again!

In summary, I pull public motion votings and do any kind of processing I want to give people a better insight in how the Dutch parties vote. There's a voting compass that gets a bit busy before elections.

It was a project by Erwin and I would like to continue the work.

I'm looking at the long-term image and have high hopes other countries would enjoy this too

I made a personal extension just for that :) if I find a person to be mostly posting AI generated information I will blacklist them from my feed.

Works on a personal level, unsure if this would work well in practice. Maybe just a tag is enough, so people can conclude for themselves.

I know there are extensions out there that are doing the democratic part right. Mostly YouTube-related extensions like DeArrow and SponsorBlock

I don't get the "its from [country] so I don't use it". Unless this is somehow funding e.g. a war, what did the maintainers do to deserve such backlash?

Edit: just read what ties ClickHouse has, nevermind.

I have a weird memory of PostHog.

I remember applying sometime ago, not really knowing what they did. They then spammed me with marketing mail, now they're open-sourced and had received a (supposedly marketing) job posting?

Granted in this entire history I had no idea what their product was. Seems flakey, but I haven't used it.

TypeScript 7 14 days ago

Awesome! Off-topic, can we get something like TS for PHP now? Tools like PHPStan work fine, but I'd love a typed language on top of PHP that can catch a lot of things on compile time. I want to be able to compile my symfony routes, avoiding as much as possible on runtime.

I've been thinking about this since 2022 and haven't really gotten further than "Hmm, I would like this".

I'm aware that tooling catches most stuff, but being able to shift this even more to the left (compile time) would be great.

I'm just very used to Rust, where my hand is being held

Speak for yourself! This is my third week on SSRI medication and I am the zombie the CEO wants me to be! /s (well, only half /s)

At work, I ended up doing other chores, getting a lot more involved in projects I wouldn't even care to touch. Turns out it's kinda fun being the source of truth at work. I now have a clear sketch of what the company has done and what we can improve on.

Being able to fill in the gaps at a company that doesn't do much feels like a company within a company. Sure, its not Silicon valley, but it's still fun! And job security is guaranteed if you do a bit more than just play the ticket factory

Is this only limited to (bounds|overflow|DBZ) checks? I do not know a lot about model checkers, it seems pretty cool though! and definitely something that would be powerful in a test harness

Cheaters are a problem, that's the focus you should be taking, not that KAC is an overreach. Everyone knows its not a solution.

Writing an article about a problem without addressing the problem shows the author never had the problem i. The first place

They meant that a more ergonomic name would be "has_been_viewed_much", so you can filter by the inverse and still get the same result, but with a better name
