What is lumen or firefly? I can't get to any website or github. Can you share a link?

Got a github link https://github.com/lumen/ but it seems abandoned and not actively maintained

I'd say give one of the broad categories a try, instead of languages/tech stacks. I don't know if you're employed and if you can either switch companies for this sake/choose within your current company or you do independent consulting. But whatever it may be, try web apps for a year you'd automatically learn JavaScript, HTML, CSS and some good enough framework, maybe try mobile dev for year along the way learning Swift/Java for Android or try enterprise projects in Java and learn a bit of spring/akka or something like that.

My story started a little similar to yours, I was a C++ developer working on modems and drivers, then worked on AngularJS in 2014, then rode the initial Big Data wave and learnt Hadoop, Apache Spark and a little bit of Scala (very scared even now), then went full on enterprise Java building batches, services, message daemons etc. for quite a long time. And now for a year and a half back to JavaScript after half a decade on a mammoth React based project, very surprising to see how much JS ecosystem has evolved. I enjoyed developing pretty much all the projects I worked on, learnt quite a bit of Java, JavaScript, small amounts of Python and Scala.

On the question "How to decide?", I went by 1. hype, 2. interesting and colourful stacks, 3. make me good money. Went just head straight into one of these based on what I felt that year/period

It already looks like SpringBoot at first glance. You'll have troves of Java devs flocking to something like this.

There's a general dislike towards Java/C# code nowadays, you can't argue that spring/springboot brought stability to the language and its mainstream usage.

Something like this in TS makes it feel familiar, and after trying the examples I am quite excited!

Really. I couldn't find it either for a good 10 minutes. I went through all the links painfully and got to careers and there they have some glimpse into their precious company.

>What we're building At Ashby, we’re on a mission to help professionals excel at their jobs with software. We believe current software is barely scratching the surface and the most promising productivity improvements haven’t materialized yet.

We’re starting with a suite of products that help talent leaders, recruiters, and managers excel at hiring. Prior to starting Ashby, our Co-Founder and CEO, Benji, experienced the limitations of current products first hand. This experience has created a relentless focus to solve recruiting’s toughest problems with powerful and delightful software.

What, 85 hours a week? Tell me that's just a joke

I suppose many of us have had such experience one way or the other. My exploration on such path had different phases. One important milestone I felt was, when our angels and demons calm and come to an agreement on some terms the inner spirit or I call the human takes charge. After which I feel free to observe the emotions and carry on with the same things but in a better and a conscious manner. Emotions of sympathy/attachment, anger, greed, envy and pride will all be still there but can be better managed and learnt that it's only necessary in this practical world.

It's been about 3 years and counting since I've had such experience and since then every morning I'm trying to balance my mind like an audio equalizer :)

A good construct I found along the way was to substitute envy with competition, pride with work, greed with giving, attachment/indifference with love. Neither of them too much that it'll consume me nor too little to keep me empty. If none of this works then find something else like a child. Anger is a beast of its own that I someday I intend to figure out.

Cheers and Happy new year everybody

I suppose I'm the only one who cares and at the same time I never claimed it affects the functioning of the device. Like I mentioned it in another comment, it is a very minor and a picky thing, but Apple takes such a great pride in the uniformity and design. With all of their current generation iPhones and iPads having a boxy design, it is strange they resorted to such a design choice that too in their top of the line macbook pros

I understand the perceptions in fashion and design will keep changing. But it is only recently Apple adopted boxy design in all their iPads and iPhones except the basic iPad and iPhone SE II. Why not follow that, the trend is set across the board. This top of the line macbooks have a design similar to the basic $329 iPad, I can't wrap my head around such a decision.

I know it's a very minor and a picky thing, but Apple takes such a great pride in the uniformity and design, it's strange they resort to this.

I see this is the time any company can do both ground breaking performance and a solid design let alone Apple. I don't want them to go back to the intel with discrete gpus and remove extra ports. I want a sharper design is all. It's not much to ask both, Apple after all cares a lot about design, I don't know how they came up with such a design while their all their iPads lineup (bar basic iPad) and iPhone lineup has a boxy design but this MBP is rounded.

Oh I totally get that, I like functionality and the 2017-2020 MBP barely qualified as Pro laptops. I have a huge windows desktop for my actual pro work, MBP was just a mobile device and for some freelance work. A sharp design would be nicer is all I'm saying

I have owned macbooks only since 2017 and found the older (2011 era) aesthetic design to be bulky and not too appealing. I own a 2020 model, which looks sharp and professional. I don't like them going back to this rounded edges on the bottom. I love everything else, except this simple gripe over aesthetics.

I have embedded a 0nm chip in this comment

Can you share your study/findings? It'll help me and others who are searching for the same.

Your comment warms my heart. I’ll try my best to teach my nieces and nephews at least, hoping they carry the baton in the future.

I come from a Sourashtra speaking community. We’re a small bunch of people immigrated from Gujarat to Southern parts in different waves during the Middle Ages, mostly because of war and trade.

Our language has been preserved though the common speak and has no agreed upon script, so it is majorly taught to the children by their parents and relatives. Most of us know Tamil/Kannada/Telugu because of the main language in the place we live in and also use it to publish local magazines.

The magazines though are published in Hindi, Tamil, Sourashtra scripts, the interest is declining at a fast rate. Fewer people want to buy and even fewer want to write. In my city, some are distributed for free only to see it being used for packing pakodas and samosas. Another factor is, many in our community marry people from outside the communities (I'm not against that) and their children can barely understand the language. Our language is still not in the endangered category, but I see it becoming one in the coming decades. More people in our community are getting educated, becoming modern (by western standards), want their children to communicate in English and as a result most people have become middle-class to rich. The reasons for our endangerment is partly because of modernisation.

I'm seeing the coming generations have lesser and lesser interest in growing the language as my Grandpa rightly feared, and will be one of the ones forgotten by the end of this century.

wake up by 7, go cycling for around 10km

bath and quick breakfast

work from 9:30 till 6/6:30

inbetween lunch break from 1:30-3

evening tea/snack for 30 min between the meetings

Then I play some video games and take a 3-4km hike while talking to friends.

Dinner somewhere around 8:30

Then I waste time on HN, YouTube about anything and everything till I'm bored and sleep just before 1.

Weekends I do some household chores and pick a book on my kindle, currently reading Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life.

Although, this is when the project timelines allow me, when issues or deadlines pile up, my night times will be occupied and weekends will be filled with more work.

I'm actively trying to improve my lifestyle, but I feel I'm getting stagnated, and introducing new changes (workouts and yoga for eg.) are becoming very difficult and mentally tiring. I'm hoping you guys have some hack.

Removing soft drinks and alcohol came easy, but removing carbs in a daily diet became extremely difficult for me and hence I plateaued. I am curious to know what you replaced it with?

I'm just curious, why Europe?

Would like to hear more about how the change in your lifestyle and food habits made a difference. If you don't mind sharing, you can email me, my email id's in my profile.

Thanks :)

Is there any cure for it apart from the restricted use of antibiotics?

I don't have kids but I can talk about my dad.

For all the regular purposes like transport, school fee, repairing the vehicle etc. he gave a little more than required, he knew how much it cost but still let me keep the rest. That was enough to hang out with friends, go to movies (it was cheap back then), a little snack here and there. For anything bigger than that I would ask him and he'd mostly say yes. But never encouraged regular allowance on a monthly/weekly basis.

We weren't affluent, I had to be a little conservative on my expenditure. Was also taught early that you should do/buy four things that you need and one thing that you want.

For better or worse I think this made me more responsible than others who grew up with me.

From India here, lending money to friends in times of urgency is quite common and is not considered as a taboo. In fact, some of my friends jumped to help me in need. Also I feel it considerably strengthens the friendship.

Python feels like a pseudocode and is a popular language among hackers and data scientists. As a result, there are more examples, tutorials to get started, that's one of the chief reasons many choose it to learn new concepts.

That'll surely attract the beginners, such efforts by the Rust team and the whole community are truly laudable.

To me, an error message should help in understanding the language better. It shouldn't impose a requirement to have the knowledge beforehand.

Good luck!
