It’s actually quite easy there. You work a couple of days a month and there are gyms for working out everywhere. I’d probably trade that for the power issues once a decade.
How much actual time have you spent without power, pumped water, climate control, phone service, refrigerated food supply, or fuel in a tropical climate?
Me, nine years. Intentionally. In a location far enough from population density that sustainability was obtainable, but with the option to hike out and avail myself of any and all of those conveniences when the rain was low enough to make the fast flowing waters passable - sometimes using a rope safety line to wade out, other times dry crossings. The first two years were much harder, but by the end the excursions 'out' of the jungle were not more frequent than once per quarter, sometimes as few as twice a year.
Change those wild conditions to a location with significant population density and citizens habituated to any and all of those conveniences; even in a small measure, and things are confoundingly harder with significant risk to life through the interruption in those services without the surrounding natural habitat and developed skills to survive.
So, the 'there are workout gyms everywhere' is a tone expected from a frat brat, crypto bro with limited applied experience and a vanishingly small capacity for empathy. Is that the note you were trying to hit?
what a wild comment, could be right up there with "slaves had it easy", you feel that being forced to live in third-world conditions and then being denied fuel as an act of war is somehow a paradise?
go flip your main circuit-breaker for a week and lock away your phone/tablet, let us know how that "paradise" goes for you
there's like three MILLION immigrants from Cuba here who fled seeking asylum for damn good reason (it's why our moron-in-chief thinks seeking asylum = from insane-asylum)
You also get reported for catching too many fish, or growing too many plants. Because if you did that, you could sell them, or save up enough to leave.
Both - timed take home (3 hour limit) as well as in 1 hour live coding. The scope was impossible for that time be a coder whatever you are. Not sure if was enough time for raw typing.
Being unwilling to change or changing too much are both equally going to get you fired. I’m the later so I feel your pain. At companies you have to turn your brain off and bahhh with the sheep.
M4 Max Studio + Macbook Air. I've been running this for several years. Mac is a really poor server environment and none of the apple ecosystem makes up for it. So, I still prefer my linux server, but the M4 Max is much more suited for inference tasks so here it is.
I wouldn't say it's much better than a MBP except the sustained throughput is much higher and the fan noise is barely noticeable. I'd get a linux equivalent if there was one.
Unless you’re running multiple home servers, I can not reason any reason to use k8s. I’ll push any business to k8s but I would never bother with 1-3 home labs. Surprised this is even a hacker news topic of interest.
Not sure the article is … accurate? Go has a large standard library. Rust leans on third party cargo libraries which fall into the supply chain attack and has a small standard library. Anyways, that feels immediately biased in the article. Also 11% use Rust? I don’t see that penetration in real long term products. Sure lots of tui apps these days but not things that you can make money working on.
These percentages are from the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem Report 2024 on the question "Which programming languages have you used in the last 12 months?"[0].
I think a better datapoint would be the "Primary Programming Languages" in the 2025 report[1] where Rust sits at 4% and Go at 8%.
