In my opinion, you should only go to your manager if it has an effect on your work. Even then it's rare. Since you're the new guy and the others have presumably been there for a while... You will find it difficult to make your case.
You risk running up against the trope of not being a 'team player'.

Honestly what you described does not sound that bad.
You should think about other similar situations in your past that you have had with other people and try to see if you have a pattern of needing to be right. It is entirely possible you are externalizing some fault in your own personality.

Regardless, look at it as a learning opportunity. If you can't handle the various personalities in the world without it effecting you on a personal level, you're going to have a tough time.
Well, it's not my land...

join the slack chat. very active and helpful. even the facebook guys are there and I get to ask them about there nitty gritty closed source implementation details
a) As described, it isn't a "toxic environment". My previous job the boss would go on verbal and physical tirades almost daily (cursing loud enough to be heard through multiple walls, throwing hardware, ripping a door off its hinges, etc). Meanwhile, in one job, my mother had a boss made them work through a breakdown of the A/C. Their office temperatures were exceeding 100 degrees and most of the full-time staff were over 50 years old. This ultimately led to that boss' death at her own desk. Those are "toxic environments". As the OP described their situation, the environment is certainly not supportive, and is uncomfortable and demoralizing, but it doesn't sound like their physical welfare is in jeopardy, so it shouldn't be called 'toxic'.

b) As cookiecaper indicated, you should focus on the positives of the job you're interviewing for, not the negatives of the current job. For example, "I'm looking for a more respectful and collegial work environment that supports mutual skill development." The interviewer may take that as "this person is coming from an unsupportive environment" but it could also be taken as "this person is coming from a so-so, hum-drum environment and simply wants a better environment."
Interesting question but the specific work we're talking about it not going to shape literature. It's shorter than a long magazine piece. A new literature movement doesn't appear to be the ambition here.
Leave. You will not be able to change the personalities of those you work with and going above their heads to complain will not put you in a better position (unless doing so could move you to another team). One job stint at 6 months will not hurt you. I would argue your work environment is the most important part of your job. You spend a lot of your waking hours with these people, you don't want to be miserable.

I know you mentioned type classes (repeatedly and positively). What I mean is that I don't see why, in their presence, there's still a problem. On careful reread, I guess you don't see them as an example of "having various types extend a common interface"? (which would make them a solution, but excluded from the discussion) (edited to add - and I find that description to fit them just find, hence my confusion)
I actually agree with you, but I can see that it's not very obvious from my snarky comment. I've always been a generalist, and if there's one thing I hope I can teach my children it's that it's possible to learn how to do, make and fix just about anything - probably with less effort invested than they'd expect.

I just think it's interesting how much more concerted effort, even over centuries, it takes us to figure out how to do these things on larger scales.

That graph pretty clearly shows 10 or 15 cm over the last 20 years. I wish I could see the data for 30 years but it doesn't seem impossible that there was a 15 cm rise in those 10 years.
I did not downvote you (because you provide a POV relevant to the story), but this is one terrible piece of advice. Many years ago, I was in a situation similar to the OP, and after a year or so, I was on the verge of a depression (which I did not realize it by then).

Check out some asian grocery stores. They have bananas not from the Dole. I tried the Dole red banana but really didn't like it. The Asian grocery stores should have a few other varieties. But you are right that the common variety seems to be the only one that can be reliably shipped long distances. Most of the US cannot grow bananas natively since they cannot handle cold temperatures.
PHP has pthreads which are slowly becoming a real thing.

Totally the case with cookware. The difference in quality between my $60 cutting board and my $5 cutting board is incredible. The $5 one has already been trashed, while I've had the $60 one for 7 years now and it's still going strong.

Same for a Creuset that was gifted to me. There's a good chance I'll be able to pass it on to my children, just like my parents passed on their high quality ceramic crockpot to me. Forged knives, copper pots, real sheet pans (not the flimsy quarter inch crap sold at walmart), etc. are all things that last almost forever, even with repeated, high use. You can see why restaurant kitchens almost always go for high quality--the parable of the workingman's boots.
Did something like this at a previous job without giving it a name. It was three of us around a single computer - we each took turns being the "typist" with the others mostly watching and helping, but also using their computers to lookup documentation or run a little ahead. Our job was to rebuild an existing product from scratch on a very short timeline and with some experimental new technologies none of us were familiar with. We programmed like this on a television in a conference room for about 2-3 weeks as we bootstrapped the program from nothing into a working core of functionality and abstracted away from the experimental technologies into something more manageable that we could use day-to-day. From here we split-off and worked in parallel and brought in the rest of the team - who had been maintaining the old product in the mean time.

The main benefits were that knowledge sharing was immediate as we all went through the same learning process and helped build the same abstractions. Problem solving was also incredibly quick. We eventually open-sourced the work and it has been actively used by others for about 3 years now.

Overall mob programming was useful, but I think only with the following constraints:
- Small mob size
- Limited time in "mob" mode
- High-level of maturity and ability to work as a team among mob members

I think this could very easily turn into something nasty and unproductive with a group of people who can't get along or aren't mature enough for this level of cooperation and teamwork.

Because sorting them on site and just moving the valuable ones is (probably) a lot less work than moving raw ore umpty squillion miles and then landing it softly somewhere it can be processed. Also it means that the things you are throwing in Earth's general direction are comparatively small and not capable of wreaking havoc.
I disagree.

Given what we now know post Snowden, it's certainly advisable to encrypt internal transports whenever possible.

As an additional example, lots of people tend to mistake MPLS as being encrypted as opposed to just being a private network so it's definitely advisable to make sure traffic is encrypted whenever possible inside or out.

It's interesting that their views on competition run counter to what YC / Peter Thiel advocate for in all startups - that is, avoiding competitive spaces and going for monopolies. Perhaps monopolies are necessary for huge growth and investor upside, but it should be made clear that there's obviously space in startups for modest goals like a nice PDF reader, and I hope their employees makes a reasonable living off it at the very least.

Not sure if their business model will work out (given the sad state of affairs that is the Mac App Store) but I liked that they were transparent about it.

On another note... the Vimeo ad they released https://vimeo.com/145400917 features a white, well-dressed man working at an empty desk with nothing on it but a macbook, coffee mug, iPhone, and Moleskine notebook.

Sharing knowledge is not bad.
Honestly, bigger PHP sites aren't dependent on hosts but on Linux distributions for staying up to date. Once there's an AMI of Amazon Linux and an Ubuntu LTS shipping with PHP7, there should be a huge upswing in adoption.

I applied a polynomial trend line to the data: seems there is a 7.5cm rise over 23 years, but most of that was in the first half and has tapered off and may actually be about to head down. I'd like to see longer-term data.

Recurring issue: climate changes. Sea levels change. Land altitudes change. Overlapping cycles interact to great effect covering hours & millennia. And when you're talking about all of these happening in regards to someplace that is no more than 2 meters above "sea level", with nearly a meter of tidal variation daily, it's not unreasonable to conclude "living on the edge of survivability isn't a good choice".
I experienced this exact phenomenon when I took a job in a new region (Pacific NW). Out of the team of 6 non-managers, half were amazing and fun people. The other three were myopic, antisocial assholes. Add to that my manager was an absentminded professor type, and his boss was super intense/smart, and scared the living day lights out of everyone because she didn't understand that new employees needed help understanding what concepts she was explaining.

The point is, I was miserable, and after 3-4 months I knew it was not the right team for me. I found a new job quickly (networking, kids!) and once I found out my new start date I had a talk with my immediate manager and told him why I was leaving. I told him about the toxic culture. I told him about being made to feel stupid because I had tried to build process improvements which amounted to moving someone's cheese a few millimeters. He understood, and was grateful. I told the HR person about the team dynamics. I told her that this toxic attitude towards change would continue to drive talented people like me out of the organization. She profusely thanked me and said that it had been the best exit interview she had ever had.

Fast forward 6 months on my new job, and I'm unhappy here for entirely different reasons. Time to start looking again!

I absolutely do think you should talk to your manager. If you don't, you are missing an opportunity to practice the skill of having difficult conversations, and you're short changing whomever comes into your job after you, who'll have to have that conversation, too. Plus, your manager might surprise you. She/he might have a way to make you happy! Do start looking for a new job today. And for the love of all that's holy, make your next interview all about figuring out what the people will be like to work with. Don't come to the interview from a place of "I have to get this job." Come at it like a date. You're trying to arrive at a mutually beneficial fit. Don't try to impress them; just be yourself and see if there's a spark!

You don't owe them anything in the United States unless you're under contract. What you kind of do owe them as a good person is to talk to your manager before deciding to quit.

>A "dot release" (who really cares about numbering schemes?)

DF numbers its releases differently than most software. The developers made a list of features ("core components") they would like to implement and the version number increases for each one finished.

So a "dot release" for DF means a significant new subsystem was added. v0.42.1 translates to 42 core components implemented, 1 minor release. The leading 0 means "less than 100 core components finished".

Agree with the manager sentiment. It's their job to manage the team.

Failing that, I'd find a new job; you don't owe the company anything (literally) and you owe it to yourself to not be miserable.

Free electron laser powered by a solar array. Matter gets dug up and pulverized small by asteroid surface robots, squirted out as a dust stream, laser heated to plasma, charged by beaming electrons towards the catch-buckets. It flies through a large magnet (which keeps its position with ion thrusters), then coasts through vacuum, spreading out according to atomic content, falling into catch buckets and getting its charge neutralized.

I fully agree with you: the title is a sound byte and somewhat imprecise. Creating good titles has been an ongoing struggle for me.

Hopefully the post's gist is clear: it takes a long time to become a true expert/master, but much less time to surpass everyone who has zero knowledge about a field.
