Sleep — just like looks — is a large part hygiene and related life decisions.
Exercise helps you be more tired, setting an alarm for the same time every day helps you stay more consistent, having a pre bed time routine that doesn’t involve screens helps your brain slow down. There are discrete actionable things which are proven to help with sleep.
My natural tendency is to stay up to 2AM and sleep to 10AM, but with conscious effort — and an internally driven motivation to change — I now get up at 6AM every day.
It was hard and I didn’t get there right away, but lots of worthwhile things in this life are hard.
Honestly I think there is something wrong with either our environment or how we raise our kids, because I see so often that people lack executive function and any ability to manifest change for the better in their life. I don’t blame people for having issues as they stem from their parents, I have lots of personality issues that stemmed from how my parents raised me (the business end of a belt) but I would like if society could take a step back and figure out how we can raise humans who are better in control of their own destiny.
I've had to accept that people are just very different when it comes to this.
I'm someone who rarely ever wakes up with an alarm (usually I wake up before it and turn it off). I never snooze an alarm either. Alarm goes off, I get up, even if it's hours earlier than usual.
Clearly there are people who simply can't actually do this, for whatever reason.
For me, the "opposite" holds. The only times I've ever gotten up past 7am regularly are when I had jobs that had shifts that ended past midnight.
Otherwise I absolutely cannot stay awake past 10pm consistently.
As habits, staying up late for me appears as impossible as getting up early is for my wife.
Some people will sleep through alarms, turning them off without remembering it.
But more importantly, if your sleep schedule is shifted you might not actually be able to fall asleep when you need to, even if you haven't had enough sleep. After a few days you will be exhausted, fall asleep in the afternoon and take a nice 4 hour nap, leaving you unable to fall asleep until very late, after which the cycle continues.
Yes, I think short-lived certs are ultimately where we're headed.
We're starting to see adoption for O(days) now but I imagine that the lifetime will continue to decrease to some minimum O(hours) in the years to come.
I dread supporting O(hours). Clients often have wrong clocks. I've seen some client systems that enforced 'Not Before' and interpreted the datetime as local time and there were many users of that platform in the Americas; and my CA at the time insisted that Not Before was the time of issuance... lots of fun deciding how long to keep using a revoked certificate to balance the users with working revocation vs the users with broken Not Before checking. The client system I'm aware of is very dead, but maybe other systems managed similar.
Ironically this ends up putting a ton more load on the issuers, which some others have pointed out is why revocation doesn’t scale well (other than privacy concerns, which are valid).
Have you actually contributed to the Go standard library?
Yes, there are people who don't work for Google and can +2 on changes, but you still need 2 Google employees to at least +1 on your change before it can be submitted. This is mentioned in the Contribution Guide [0] and is enforced by Gerrit.
> Finally, to be submitted, a change must have the involvement of two Google employees, either as the uploader of the change or as a reviewer voting at least Code-Review +1. This requirement is for compliance and supply chain security reasons.
> We could make jobs teenage friendly and replace high schools with entry level jobs so that people get to try to be in multiple fields before they commit to years of studying anything. We could eliminate most university programs and again replace them with entry level jobs, 20 hours/week - people can study new material on their own free time and at their own pace - eliminate all memorization based learning to pass arbitrary tests and have people progress based on performance on the job.
Most of your comment I agree with but I take issue with this part.
Some time in recent history education became a means to an end: getting a decent job. This is not strictly speaking the point. Learning for the sake of learning still has tangible value that cannot be substituted by requisite training for entry level jobs.
I'm not really sure what caused this shift (but I definitely understand and respect it) but it's heavily misguided. If only we could all be so lucky as to be highly educated in a mundane job.
I don't want to live in a world where we only learn what we need to know in order to do our job. Do you?
Look at the website linked in the vortex website footer: https://lfprojects.org/
It has all the bells and whistles of using an expensive law firm.
I have no idea who exactly is behind this, but to me it does definitely not seem like a no-name open source genius, I assume it is some lucky AI grifter. They have two nicely designed, expensive marketing websites. They have all the legal documents for the parent LLC in Delaware.
The delaware corp "donates" the multi-million-worth tech to linux foundation, and uses it as tax write-off to offset gains from some other lucky AI grifter play the person did.
Just the chuzpe to self-compare yourself to something like PostgreSQL is what gets me. Why can't they just be rich and leave people doing actual work for the benefit of our common good be. No, they must make big blog posts claiming they are the next big thing after PostgreSQL.
Believe it or not, this is how the Linux Foundation organizes itself. It's more legwork than something simpler like Apache Foundation.
Basically in the US you need a legally recognized entity to hold intellectual property. "Donating" the project involves setting up a "Series LLC" that is nested underneath the top-level Linux Foundation corporation, and donating the IP into it.
So you might still be able to do an "intellectual property transfer" to them and use it as a tax write-off. The "LF Projects LLC" is then the new owner, only the operating company who has the ongoing hosting contracts for the websites.
Edit: Not sure if a donation to 501(c)(6) can be used as write-off without using some other legal loopholes. Quick AI search told me that only 501(c)(3) can do the donation tax write-off thing.
I'm sure there are some good tax lawyers behind this, who am I to understand it as a mere mortal I am just jealous.
The motivation is to move the IP and trademark into a separate organization so it's no longer owned by Spiral. This means we can't re-license it later, we'd have to fork it, because the Vortex trademark and all that is controlled by LF.
It's a deal breaker because it was previously free to use, and frankly it's not worth $1 a month given there are better paid alternatives, let alone better free alternatives.
I remain wholly unconvinced that side loading and user safety are even related at scale. They are orthogonal.
There are plenty of apps available through the Play store that are not safe. Even if side loading requires chain-of-trust, malicious behavior will remain rampant. I'll concede that it restricts the ease with which one can redistribute malware but by how much? It doesn't seem significant to me compared to the hassle for end users/developers.
It all seems so contrived. The only rational explanation to all of this is backpedaling into a closed garden.
I wasn't aware of obtainium. Thank you. I was thinking of something more like Google Chrome mobile edition but for APKs. So more focus around the search interface.
It's incredible that by the end of it, the WM rollercoaster made us actually miss WinCE. If you had have told us that initially none of us would have believed you. WM had so much potential and was just totally botched.
If only life were so simple.
