Most people rely on their employer to generate and capture wealth. Many senior developers would not make it going alone as technical acumen (without salesmanship) is generally insufficient.

Money is power and now you have some external validation and can afford some nice things.

What about deaths due to smoking or obesity? Should we ban bacon and cigarettes?
"Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Worldwide, tobacco use causes more than 7 million deaths per year. If the pattern of smoking all over the globe doesn't change, more than 8 million people a year will die from diseases related to tobacco use by 2030.Mar. 23, 2020"
"Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with at least 2.8 million people dying each year as a result of being overweight or obese. Once associated with high-income countries, obesity is now also prevalent in low- and middle-income countries.Jun. 9, 2021"

I've had some issues where changesets are not being saved/written. End up writing in a text editor and pasting into Google doc later. :/

Having said that some consideration to keep in mind:
- audio code needs to be optimized for real time thread constrains. Many optimizations usually made by vectorizing rather than threading that would've lead to locks and synchronization not always possible for real-time processing. So not all SIMD code can be compiled just by changing a flag.
- machine specific code. While rare. Some companies still got such code for various reasons. And needs more complex transition.
- Not all companies were able to obtain DTK. We for example, got our first M1 machine 3 weeks ago.
- Backward support. While we'd like to have universal builds, musicians use their systems for years. We still support 10.7. With Big Sur Apple seems to break SHA1 signs making builds from Big Sur work reliably only on 10.11 or newer.

Porting PyPy is harder than just re-running the compiler, because PyPy contains a few big architecture-dependent "details", like the JIT compiler and the foreign function interfaces (CFFI and ctypes). More details found at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25591695

Anyone know what rewriting for M1 actually entails? Guessing maybe you just recompile all your libraries for M1 and fix any errors and warnings that crop up.

Jaleesa Garland moved to Tulsa in October, decamping from Berkeley, California. Living in the expensive Bay Area was a grind since she shared a house with anywhere from four to six roommates, shelling out $1,150 for a tiny bedroom.
"I shared a bathroom with at least three other people at any given point in time," she says. "Yeah, it was rough."
Rough got rougher when the pandemic hit and she and all her roommates all worked from home. Garland knew it was time to find a new city. She considered somewhat cheaper places popular with millennials like herself — such as Austin, Texas, and Portland, Ore. — and then she heard about Tulsa Remote. The program, which is funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, hosted her for a visit in July. And she was sold. https://www.npr.org/2020/12/20/944986123/you-want-to-move-so...

I can recommend the Challenger and Guardian series. The website is terrible but the chairs are incredible. https://pulselabz.com/shop/
Just very comfortable if you are sitting for long periods of time.

The Google search method did not work for me, but http://archive.is/BOsMr did.
