There are probably tons of companies that fit this profile. I don't have any tricks for finding them, but you're going to have to do the research on companies including asking current employees. If they have a very rigorous interview process then you might want to skip that company.

I agree, looking at portraits he looks just fine. I wouldn't call him handsome but certainly not "ugly" or "grotesque". But it seems part of the impact of his appearance was due to his movements and his proportions, neither of which are going to be easy to discern from portraits. Take this image, for example. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Hans_Chr.... It could be his coat exaggerating his proportions, and maybe some amount of forced perspective, but I can begin to see that his hands are quite large, his head seems a bit small.

I don’t think _everyone_ gets an extra $1,000, just those at the bottom. I’m pretty sure there are different ways of implementing UBI, and some of them only provide a certain amount to the lower income folks. So if you are making plenty of money, whatever plenty means in your location and context, you would not receive any additional income.

I've had cognitive decline over the past 6 years. I turn 41 this year. It's strongly (maybe solely) due to stress, anxiety, depression, migraines, and insomnia. This entire clusterfuck started 6 years ago because, while I had the skills to excel in school and career, I was sorely lacking in the skills to be a father, husband, and homeowner. When I got married and we began having children, my decline began. But it was slow enough and normal enough at first (new parents often don't get enough sleep, they often have extra stress and anxiety, etc) that I did nothing to combat it. It wasn't until 2021 with all the added awfulness of 18 months of a global pandemic that it become obvious things were unsustainable. I was barely able to function at work, I was being put on a PIP, and I was almost completely absent from my family. When I was with my family I was irritable, angry, constantly complaining.

I got on antidepressants and that helped, though it came with it's own set of problems. I started seeing counselors, reading self-help books, I went through 6 months of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi), working with a neurologist to get migraines under control, seeking help wherever I could. It has been a slow process but I'm doing a lot better. I'm still nowhere near where I was cognitively. In fact I don't know that has improved much at all. And it's only been in the past year that I've began to understand my decline as a result of jumping into marriage, fatherhood, and home ownership without the necessary skills to handle them. I'm hopeful things will continue to improve, I've learned an enormous amount about life, fatherhood, marriage, love, forgiveness, hope, and priorities.

If you are a young parent, or considering being a parent soon, work on yourself. Ensure you have the skills you need or your life (and the lives of those near to you) will become a bag of utter despair filled with shit.

Those are my thoughts, as well, about using a 3-ring binder. That's helpful for me to hear them come from someone else to help validate. That post you linked is exactly what started my current round of thinking about this. I have thought about it before but I'm more serious now than before

I have a large e-ink tablet, not the reMarkable itself but similar. It is a step in the right direction for me but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!

If I print documentation I'm going to do it with my home printer and use a 3-ring binder so I think the cost should be do-able. I haven't specced it out exactly but paper is cheap and toner is... cheaper than paying someone else :shrug:

Why make the questions and AI interviewing free? This sounds too good to be true

I’m not familiar with that and I’ve been a heavy Internet user since the mid 90s, first on Windows, then Linux starting in 2007, then macOS starting in 2012

I was in the same cycle, until I had someone else add a passcode to Screen Time and now I can’t unblock myself, I have to get the other person to do it for me

- Find a way to make it impossible to do the things you're trying to avoid. For Apple products setup Screen Time and give someone else the passcode. I'm sure there are solutions for other OSes out there

- Practice self denial and doing things that hurt, such as fasting and cold exposure (like a cold shower or cold bath). These are good for people in general. I'm not sure how universal this is but doing these things gives me an incredible sense of accomplishment which makes it easier to do other difficult things that I want to do but otherwise avoid

Good luck, these things are designed to be addictive and our biology has not caught up to give us sufficient built-in resistances. This stuff is very difficult, and kudos for reaching out! You can do this!

If ICE approaches you, who are presumably a citizen, and demands to see your papers what do you do? Do you carry your birth certificate on you at all times? Any other proof of citizenship No? Then you’re outta here TODAY

I think there are, the author says so, but according to author they don’t make clear if a book is a new edition, translation, etc of a previously published book. So getting a list of published works wherein “A Book Title” is a single result and “A Book Title 2nd edition”, “A Book Title 3rd edition”, etc are not listed in addition to “A Book Title”, doesn’t exist. I would think it’s possible to write a layer of logic that takes a list of published books and removes extra editions, translations, etc to get what the author wants but perhaps the problem is more difficult than I realize

The fake moves are to keep people from getting hurt. If you start using real moves it becomes a different thing entirely, one might even call it MMA or Olympic wrestling

I use Elm. It is a lot easier for me to write good code in Elm than in React.

The only thing I dislike about HN’s design is how difficult it is to tap a link. Everything is so smushed together.

This is great, but I’m pretty sure this is trivial using Emacs and org mode. You could then use pandoc to convert org to markdown

I think you’re describing Aider.chat. There are 2 Emacs packages for it, one official and a very recent fork. Aider is a cli so it works great with vim as well.

In Emacs I’ve had good experience with gptel as well but I prefer aider for the coding workflow

I write Elm and use Emacs primarily, and sometimes neovim. Are you using lsp in vim? You’re doing it right by staying in one file until it hurts, that’s the recommendation for Elm, but I can’t recall if I’ve had issues using go-to-def or other lsp functions like your describing

openai has a lot of resources and news, I suggest start there

I think you have a very high opinion of the millions of people around the globe, with varying levels of computer literacy, who are terrorists, criminals, and/or child abusers.

Using Apple Screentime on my phone I’m blocking Reddit, limiting HN use to about 10 minutes/day, and limiting Safari to I think 30. Someone else has the PIN for screentime so I can’t circumvent. On my MacBook I don’t have those restrictions because it’s not a temptation for whatever reason. But I do lock it down at 9pm

I am using ScreenZen to lock my MacBook from 11:35-1:35 every weekday to force myself to workout, spend time with family, do misc errands/chores that are best done during the day, eat healthy, etc.

This system isn’t perfect but it’s very good progress

I got to this part of the article and concluded it wasn’t worth my time, nor probably anyone else’s

1. Absurd claim that file names aren’t important in a stack trace 2. Claims they’re sharing a feature of F# that is never used, then later reveals they’ve been studying F# for 3 months 3. Then this statement about tagged unions

From their introduction

    Our goal is to build the most comprehensive, concise, and free system design library on the internet.
    This growing library is meant to be a resource for you to leverage as you learn about system design and prepare for your interview.

Excellent! This has been on my todo list for a while now, instead I’ll use this and contribute if needed.

I’ve concluded that the culture we’ve built for ourselves, and the tech that permeates it, prevent human flourishing. So it should be no surprise that many of us struggle with what you’ve described. So I rely less on discipline and more on controlling my environment. I strive to make helpful activities the easiest thing to do, and unhelpful things the most difficult. I use MacBooks and iPhones and they have Screen Time where I can lock down anything I want and give the password to my partner to protect.

Below are two resources that have greatly influenced my opinion, the first is a lengthy podcast episode about dopamine, the second is a book about reversing “downward spirals”, specifically focused on depression but it applies to anyone. There’s a workbook that I highly recommend if you want high focus on application and less on the neuroscience

The CDC statement might be helpful https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/m1218-h5n1-flu.html

With the example, "Add RBAC to my application", I’ve had success telling the LLM, “I want your help creating a plan to add RBAC to my application. I’m sending the codebase as context (or just the relevant parts if the entire codebase is too large). Please respond with a high-level, nontechnical outline of how we might do this.” Then take each step and recursively flesh it out until each step is thoroughly planned.

It’s wise to get the LLM to think more broadly and more collaboratively with questions like, “What question should I ask you that I haven’t yet” and similar
