i think it's only odd to some because of prescriptive "style guide" insistence over the years. it makes a great deal of sense.
I've always gone with:

1) Create Value

2) Monetize Value

But I see how a third team makes sense.

3) Manage Value?

Some CL compilers even don't save an image. An extreme example is mocl. mocl applications for a 64bit iPad start at 1 MB size.

Other examples of CL compilers not saving an image are ECL and WCL.

The ECL manual had the terminology a bit wrong, but it actually does not dump an image.

Because consumers are primarily used to buying consumables, it results in them not having an intuitive sense when it comes to investments. Buying a house is essentially mostly an asset allocation problem, not a purchasing problem.

Think of it this way, would you rather buy 1 house in Palo Alto or 5 houses in Des Moine? What would 5 houses in Des Moine get you? Well, you could rent the other 4 houses out and get some sort of rental income but you get a higher salary working in Palo Alto, both are income streams.

After X number of years, your 5 houses in Des Moine will be worth some amount and your 1 house in Palo Alto will be worth a different amount. Your houses in Des Moine are probably $600,000 worth of brick and concrete which are guaranteed to depreciate over time and $400,000 worth of land which may appreciate. Your Palo Alto home is like, $200,000 of brick and concrete and $800,000 worth of land so much more likely the growth in land will make up for the depreciation in house. Plus, in Palo Alto, you can be a part of the NIMBY coalition that defends against any law that threatens the value of your house while encouraging office space to be built that increases it's value.

You can apply the same calculus to say, buying a $200K Des Moine house and $800K of index funds or renting in Palo Alto and buying $1000K of index funds or any other asset allocation mix you like.

At the end of the day, even though they look like big scary numbers, the relative impacts are much tinier because you're just shifting assets between different classes. Most asset classes grow at about the same risk adjusted rate because the market is efficient (excepting brick and concrete which is guaranteed to depreciate as a consumable).

Of course, this is assuming every person has essentially access to infinite amounts of credit providing they can put up the collateral to back it up. Once you get into the nitty gritty of who can and cannot gain access to credit, then issues of privilege also get involved.
My favorite part is where they are talking about $40k down payment, when you can buy a house for $40k.

I've read the article, and many like it, but I can never find an actual explanation of exactly how a problem was solved using blockchain technology.

It's always marketing speak, with reference to all the wonderful properties of "blockchain technology", and diagrams like [1], which could have simply been summed up in three words: "no payment intermediary". Although... doesn't that diagram look like they just changed the intermediary's name from "Payment Intermediaries" to "BCSIS Blockchain platform", plus added some cool-looking server icons?

But the source code will almost certainly never see the light of day, so we will never really know how they use blockchain technology. At the end of the day, I think it's a lot more likely that this bank's software provider created a new solution and just said it has "blockchain technology" because it's a vague buzzword, and then the bank released a press release based on this, again because of the buzzword effect.

There's no objective standard for language usage, so it's perfectly possible for something to mean one thing in technical jargon of a specific field, and something else in colloquial usage.

Therefore, your claim that "begs the question" can't mean what 99% of people understand it to mean in colloquial conversation because it's a term of art that means something else in logic/rhetoric is invalid.

By the way, this reasoning is independent of etymology. "Beg the question" may at some point have only meant what you claim it means now (I don't know if it did or not) -- but that doesn't change anything, even if it's the case.

160k total comp is still pretty early days, though. A senior engineer at Google will end up making about 250-300k. A staff engineer 300-400k. I have heard it can be far higher in the case of a highly valued specialty, or high leadership potential. It will be very difficult to ever command a salary like this as a programmer in the midwest.

Depends on where - we basically live in SJ (Campbell) and the prices are still near 1M for a decent place. A friend just bought a >1M house in South SJ, far away from just about everything except Netflix.

Midtown SJ is cheaper, and hopefully on the up-and-up. East SJ is cheap but sketchy. Downtown is getting nicer but is definitely on the more expensive side unless you want to live under a freeway.
I wouldn't want a million-dollar home in Sunnyvale either. It would be in a terrible part of town or incredibly small. A decent place in Birdland or Ortega Park or Cherry Chase is more like $2M.

And while Sunnyvale is mostly an also-ran of Silicon Valley cities, it's actually closer to the new Apple spaceship than most of Cupertino, it has Apple's new campus at Wolfe & Arques and while Sunnyvale/Tech Corners is arguably the least popular of Google's local campuses, hey, at least Sunnyvale has Google offices.

Several of my coworkers are entering "long term" and having their first kids.

Among this cohort, a 90-minute commute is luxuriously short. They walk at least a mile to their nearest BART stations (BART won't provide even close to adequate parking, or price it high enough to bring the waitlists under 3+ years), then stand elbow-to-elbow on the fully packed trains for 50+ minutes.

They are the front lines, gentrifying the furthest places from San Francisco that are still part of its transit ecosystem. As they bid up property, their strategy will stop working soon, but by then they'll be owners. Extremely leveraged, house-poor owners, but owners. And they'll convince themselves that 3+ hours of dead time every day isn't a huge waste of life.

I do something similar because my mental health goes down the toilet when I come home to the inescapable sound of other people's TV and phone conversations (and I already blast headphones all day at my open-plan office). The only people on my team with sub-30-minute commutes share apartments in the stabbier neighborhoods in the city.

Oh, how I wish I could be content in a low-rise cube farm in the rust belt where I grew up. The scenery isn't pretty, but commuting on a freeway that actually moves is incredible. And the average door-to-door time is like 25 minutes.

It seems to me that the money question confounds two factors. As I recall (possibly incorrectly), studies find that increased pay doesn't correlate with increased work / productivity. That's probably true. If I'm working on a problem that I want to be working on, it would take relatively large swings in pay to motivate me to work more or less hard than I otherwise would.

And yet I'd bet that money does have a significant correlation with retention and satisfaction. Perception of insufficient raises will certainly lead to dissatisfaction. Offer of meaningfully more money at a different job --> who wouldn't want that if the work is otherwise as good?

So in other words, productivity != retention.

If I am understanding his point, the Company machine is basically finance/accounting, legal, HR, and office management. It is a common pattern at mid-stage startups to have some or all of these people report to a CFO. If your product is to make software to build products, the product development is still under the Product Machine, even if the company itself is using the product.

There's a lot that goes into it and I can't claim that everything I believe can be strictly related to Jantelagen. That said, I believe that it takes longer to introduce and have accepted new ideas in a Scandinavian workplace. Further, I believe that how new ideas are introduced tends to be more indirect than in an American workplace. This runs ostensibly contrary to the idea that Sweden is innovative. From my American point of view, if they're so innovative, then why won't they listen to a good idea?

Now, the reality is much more subtle. It's absolutely possible to introduce new ideas in these workplaces and have them valued, but I do find the process takes longer. Certain activities like eating together for lunch, having afternoon coffee together, or small talk before a meeting tend to go a long way in helping this, much farther than in an American workplace. I also find that there's a difference in directness that's hard to explain. When I say that the process for introducing ideas is more indirect, I don't mean that everyone there wants flowery language. However, I do end up speaking differently with my Scandinavian clients.

Anyway, these are just my opinions, so I don't want to make this appear as absolute. For me, it took about two years of living there before I felt comfortable navigating the environment and, certainly, I'm still not perfect.
I'll attempt to add to this. I might be stating things that are a bit controversial here.

1 thing we are always transparent with users about is how our business model works. 1 of my favorite videos on the internet about this is [1]. We are very much based on closed source for making revenue. This has actually helped with our community a lot.

We are basically focused on closed source solutions for specific verticals. The only way to get clients to pay is to make something more efficient or don't open source/core it. For open source companies there is always a trade off of community vs customers. You have to find a hard line and stick to it.

Community is great, but most of those people won't want to pay you. You can try to convert them, but that takes a lot of time and isn't the best path to market.
We strive to provide a great base line experience to our users, but a few of the things we have found in practice that helps:

1. Features have customer names on them

2. There's a mass of community interest in a specific feature

You have to be careful about where time is spent.
It's very easy to mistake "users" for "customers".

I wish slava and co the best of luck and really appreciate their post mortem. 1 thing we've learned as an infra company is "be as close to the app as possible". In our case the bulk of what we focus on is banking/telco anomaly detection.

It's a straight forward revenue making product that can benefit from deep learning. The great thing is we can grow in to other use cases later on if we find something else interesting to work on.

This was a really interesting post. Thanks for writing it.

First with MySQL and then with MongoDB, a pattern is emerging. There's a popular open-source database. Its feature set is awesome and the ecosystem of software on top of it is good because lots of people are using it, but it's buggy and unreliable. So it's controversial. Since it's popular, it keeps being developed, and over time, it slowly gets more reliable.

To me this post is a reminder that, just because I can see clear flaws with a competing product, it doesn't mean those flaws are exploitable. Better to focus on what your own customers are demanding than on criticisms of your competitor.

Haha Ankeny is already getting filled with people living at or beyond their means and hoping they don't have a housing bubble burst.

I have a family friend who moved there perhaps a decade ago and built a really nice house. Few years later, the house wasn't for sale, but someone knocked on the door and wanted to buy it for $1,000,000. Then they wanted it furnished, so the price went up a bit higher. They probably made at least 250k in a handful of years.

My friend wanted to downsize anyway, so when someone literally arrived at their doorstep and offered 1M+, it was an easy decision.

He bought a model home for 770k about 4 years ago. Someone wanted to buy it off of him in 2015, and he wanted to downsize again, so they made a deal. The purchaser put a large sum of earnest money down, and they would get the house after my friend built himself a new house. The old house sold for 820k about 10 months after the earnest money was put down.
A list that I maintain might help you find one: https://github.com/dbohdan/embedded-scripting-languages.

It can imply a number of things, from agender people to people like me who can't really be bothered to explain it.

Trans binary people enforce their gender identity quite strongly because they get so much "pushback" (a polite way of saying harassment and threats) from people. In this case "they" is tapping into that.

Regarding the harm it did to US relations with other countries...I think long term it would be more positive for relations with all countries if there's decent treatment of whistle blowers. Sure short term it sucks to have info along the lines of "we did X to harm your country" leaked but let's face it most sane governments assume that the U.S. is doing some very shady things and has a huge budget to execute that fairly "well". At the end of the day I'd much rather have a U.S. doing shady things and some people shining a light on it every now and then than just the U.S. doing shady things.
Yes it would. I'm definitely not cut out to go to the valley.
Growing up I heard horror stories of people pirating versions of Windows, Office, etc that had backdoors installed. If you download pirated software there isn't a real way to know for 100% certainty that it isn't laced with something.

So I avoid it like the plague. Even if the majority don't have anything it only takes the one and then, depending on its level of sophistication, you're screwed.
It should be easier to automate a web developer's job than a handyman's. A lot of less skilled jobs call on people to understand instruction, look at what's in front of them, and use common sense. Skilled work often just involves having people do something repetitive using obscure knowledge.

I would prefer keywords because then if you change your mind about what should be public you don't have to hunt around for every reference to it and change its name.

Or, give me a convention where public stuff looks normal and private stuff looks weird, because then at least my JSON serializer will work. In Python you lead with an underscore to denote privateness.

You could use interfaces to communicate privateness. If something isn't exposed in an interface, it can be assumed to be private.

Or just don't have your compiler enforce privateness. You don't need it. Plenty of languages get along fine without it.
I think having a good core is more important than the "latest flashiest framework" / "New Language" / "whatever" at the end of the day it will be your experience that gets you out of the shit, not some new tool! However saying that I think it is important to not let yourself go stale. I worked with a company that had about 6 devs that were doing things seriously old school, they had no interest in upgrading their skills and for someone who likes to keep on top of the new features on languages it was painful to work with them. In the end however, when they left that company they probably found pretty quickly that they were unemployable!

For me personally, I find that I generally have free reign to test out "new (to me) technologies and my experience helps me realise quickly if they are going to be helpful or a bust!

Take any opportunity you can to do a "little project" in something that interests you and then apply it to problems in your work!

> The reality is that Mr. Manning possesses an X and a Y chromosome, that he has male genitalia, that he is at risk for prostate cancer, that he will never have ovarian cancer, that he was able to father children but was never able and will never be able to bear them: the reality is that he is a man, regardless of what he thinks.

See, the problem with this completely absurd argument is that for any given item on this list, I can find someone you'd happily agree is "a biological woman" who meets or has met these criterion at some point in their lives, including that "male genitalia" bit.

> I'm not saying that rudely, or cruelly.

You can assert this, but it is both rude and cruel to those who receive it. Communication is a two way street but you're taking your half of the road out of the middle and asking why everyone is so mad.
