#252Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sounds great! I do applied research in industry and love it. Any interests you’re looking to pursue?
Neat! The last two years I’ve been pretty interested in programming language theory and operating systems. I re-discovered lisps and started toying with them. I also started learning more about BSDs and openbsd in particular and toyed around with an openbsd remote server. I think my general interest would be systems engineering, but more specifically language theory and operating systems. What kind of research have y…
That’s quite close to my interests: PLs, runtimes, and general system programming. I’m always looking to hone a more holistic view of the computer by blending those interests.
For my research, I’ve been doing a lot of work into improving coverage-based binary instrumentation, exploring what dynamic analysis can do, and investigating a new take on grammar-based fuzzers.

#253I've lost 5 friends this year. One to Covid. Here's to a new year. Cheers.
Sorry to hear, hope this year brings more joy for you

#254Happy new year!! Everyone. I want to finally get my first job as a developer. I have been trying to transition into tech for the past two years. I have been teaching general and advanced mathematics in high schools here in Nigeria. My goal will be to finally land a programming job in 2022. Anyone hiring or any senior looking to take a valuable junior under his belt I'm open to working, learning and adding great value…
Good luck Tolexx!
Finding the first job is always really stressful, and I really hope you find what you are looking for.
Happy New Year!

#255Probably get a new job, or at least get some offers.
I've been at a (research) hospital for almost 3 years and they did not give raises through covid. So now, my calculus about working for a non profit had changed because engineer salaries have gone up so much, especially in my experience level.

#256I started working on a project (meta-JIT framework for Rust interpreters) over a sabbatical a few months ago. I'm going to be switching to half-time at work, and hopefully keep working on that in my free time, along with doing a lot of other stuff that I felt like I didn't have the opportunity to do while working a full-time 40hr/wk job - visit family and friends more, start working out, work on other side projects o…
That sounds really cool! Do you have any of it open sourced yet?
Yup, https://github.com/chc4/lineiform. It's not usable at all yet - I was building it on top of Cranelift, which turned out to be a fairly bad idea, so I'm going to have to essentially rewrite all of it with my own codegen backend I think. I've been hacking on it on and off but it's been much slower progress due to work (and writing a codegen backend is hard...)

#257Try to eat less. It should go well with spending less and the higher inflation.
Try to work out more.
Try to spend less money on stupid crap I don't need like video games.
Try to save and invest more.
Try to make my place look nicer.
Read more and watch less TV. Well, I've got a good headstart on that since November.
And ... generally ... be more grateful. It's getting rough out there for some people.
All my goals pretty much scream "I'm getting old."

#258Get back on the healthy eating train, fell off due holidays and pregnant wife cravings.
Start doing some excercise, getting a rowing machine sometime January whenever it ships.
Make sure to support my wife and future daughter when she arrives, but also make sure my wife and I are taking care of our own mental health, tricky balance but we will get there.
Be more productive on my own projects. Been doing better and better about that.
Just be happy where I am in life, and enjoy the new things to come.

#260I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, and also listened to some process philosophy from Steven West's Philosophize This. One takeaway that I had was on the danger of setting goals. I am trying to build a mindset of 'becoming' or to embrace the journey of the goal rather than really trying to achieve a specific milestone. - I want to reduce/eliminate my alcohol consumption to become a person that doesn't rely…
Someone told me they set a meeting from 6pm till 9am next morning on their calendar (Outlook) that was marked as “Out of Office”. I didn’t know you could do that, but without fail, their online status switches to OOO at 6pm.
I think it’s really good for setting expectations.
