Leave. Your last job did not value you or your work. Don't invest your soul into a project unless it's well run (or you're the one running it) and you reap some of the rewards.

I worked some weekends for a project at my last company because it was urgent (it was behind schedule and they "burned the ships"). Then they canceled the project and fired the lead developer on it.

[Edit]: And after I gave notice, I was given more flexibility so I worked hard to code some desperately needed changes to a neglected project core to the business. The changes I made in the last two weeks were so valuable that the internal customers agreed to shut down the floor for a while in the middle of the day to deploy my changes. Then, on my way out the door, the company told me that they wouldn't pay out my unused PTO.

This is hardly a scientific review, but I definitely feel like I've started sleeping better since I started using Night Shift on my phone and f.lux on my MacBook. I seem to fall asleep faster and I don't toss or turn as much.
does 'being pushed by people with a hidden agenda' automatically invalidate something? I'd say that that the American (and presumably European) political establishment (both the right and the left) have a 'hidden agenda' of pushing science because it creates a higher authority that they can appeal to justify questionable policy choices. That doesn't mean I think all science is wrong.
The Hearing Aid's Pursuit of Invisibility
Your last paragraph is conjecture based on hearsay, and I disagree. I know many consistent "users" and all are successful, hardworking people who are engaged in their lives. Is it nice to relax for a night and chill? Of course. But to say that it affects how a person acts throughout their life is just wrong. But, lazy/passive people will find any excuse that isn't personal responsibility, so I think your study is flawed at best.

The problem is that there's a certain segment of the population that views that right so broadly that it encompasses a bunch of stuff I and most others don't agree with.

Property rights are weird. We all mostly agree that no one should be able to steal your phone off your desk at work. We very much don't agree that governments should not be able to tax income. When someone says "controlling your own wealth should be a basic human right", I don't know whether I agree or not until I know quite a lot more about what that person means. Which probably means I disagree that it's a basic human right.

That is what I understand; lie implies intent, which is impossibly hard to do. IMO the media is trying to being courteous, even delicate, when it is and should be an all out brawl, when the truth and fact are at stake.

So does this mean 'professional managers' are the root of most unhappiness at work?

Certainly that's been my experience.

A company that doesn't hire MBAs is one I want to work for.

Building a set of tools for managing a hosting platform
I think it's probably a bit like Uncanny Valley this one; it goes from no understanding at all, slowly to increasing understanding but just before you get to "boss can do my job" you have "boss knows enough to be dangerous and counter productive"...
I think that longevity is why people can feel so bitter about it. It has become strongly embedded in a lot of corporate cultures where management can find itself in a homogeneous bubble. This can serve to limit mobility of non-management level workers who could excel if provided the opportunity to take on managerial functions, which means that is lost economic potential.

It's not constant across the board, as there are plenty of IT companies that seem to be doing a decent job at promoting engineers. But then I read a lot of people here talking about "up or out" views of engineers who are above a certain age. It's complicated.
There is nothing more demotivating than realizing that the person in charge of making technical decisions has no idea what he is talking about. You have no authority to make good decisions or hope of explaining things to willfully ignorant management. All you can do is quietly implement their stupidity and hope to avoid the fallout.
I actually think you get more respect if your boss (or his nephew) can't do your job.

At my last offfice job the programmers doing graphics/OpenGL stuff got way more respect than the web developers.
It's important that it be affordable to everyone, regardless of wealth. If it's private with public funding and a profit motive, that messes things up pretty hard - see what's been happening with college tuitions and unlimited lines of public credit.
I've used it in multiple projects, it's not perfect but overall I'm happy.
There are other component frameworks, but in my experience they are crap, even the ones based on bootstrap.
If you want total control, you are better of writing your own and picking thirdparty vue components trying to solve one problem.

A little louder for the people in the back.

Especially if you've already given notice to your current employer, go ahead and get out. If you haven't... I think you can justify leaving easily enough. You fully intended to stay on and finish, and I think anyone that cares enough to ask about this will understand.

Tesla's original major innovation in this area was realizing that, if batteries are expensive, then the way to make an electric car people want to buy is to make it really expensive and really good, rather than trying to cut costs everywhere and ending up with something moderately expensive that sucked.

They don't really eke out efficiency the way you describe. They have heated seats standard and use aluminum body panels to cut weight, but it's still a big, heavy car. They're among the least efficient EVs out there. Tesla doesn't use a heat pump for cabin heating. Heated seats cut down on heating energy a little bit, but speaking from my own experience, I'd say they let me drop the cabin temperature by only 2-4 degrees (F). Energy consumption from lighting is insignificant (Tesla didn't start using LEDs until recently, I have halogen bulbs), and the weight saved from not carrying a spare tire is pretty minor. I believe they omitted it manly to have more cargo space. The main reason they go so far is because the batteries are several times larger than anyone else's (save the Bolt).

Certainly it helps. Tesla keeps pushing to replace side mirrors with cameras, as you mention, which would add maybe 3% to range. On the other hand, the Model 3 will have a steel body, since apparently cost matters more than weight there. Batteries seem to be far and away the most productive area of improvement.

The testimony is "barely searchable", the text seems to have been already OCRed in someway, but it's disconnected at parts (so a full search may fail, whereas a partial might succeed). It'd then be a problem of parsing and joining the parts in a coherent way... which may not be an easier problem than just re-OCRing everything.
The only reason that wealth exists is because of history and society.

That is a bit extreme. You can hoard basic goods (wheat, lumber, livestock) or build infrastructure (house, barn, pipes) for your own use in the future, without involving state or society.

Society can more or less work without private property but a free society can not. We tend to think of the State as an abstract law infrastructure, but it is not. Who does make, apply, execute the laws?

Property is a basic human right in exactly the same degree and for exactly the same reason as prohibition of slavery. People have a right to the product of their own labor and the benefits that entails. The right to provide for oneself is a really basic thing. One might argue for exceptions, but one can also argue for exceptions to the right to life. They are both still basic human rights.

>The reality is that in order to effectively manage, you have to understand what the doers are actually doing.

There is an important distinction. An effective manager should understand the general process and what can be time sinks, but they don't have to understand extremely specific details of what each worker is working on at any given time. For example, a manager of a software team doesn't need to understand the idioms of the programming language used by the team or even be that effective of a programmer. Some of my best managers have been ex-software devs that understood architecture, requirements distillation, etc really well but wrote the ugliest code you would ever see. :)
Interview with Greylock Partner and AppDynamics Board Member Asheem Chandna
Semites? A fair fraction of the Muslims I know are from the Balkans, West Africa, or the subcontinent. (And a certain number of the persons of Arabic descent are Christian.) Also, it is my impression that "Semitic" works pretty well as a description of a language family, not so well as a description of ethnicity.

Having said that, yes, regarding one's fellow citizens as allied would be a good thing.

(Also, how would one hallow an alliance?)
Good advice.

My biggest disappointment with the new Macbook Pro is that it didn't include tunable color temperature for the keyboard. For an iPad, just changing the screen works because that's all it is. When your keyboard is a separate glowing thing, having your screen at 2200K and keys at 6500K looks awful. I used to turn the backlit keys off while running f.lux, but you're stuck with a touch bar at minimum now.

Oh well.

EDIT: Obviously the touch bar is full color and could be shifted like the screen. But because Apple's stance is that it's part of the keyboard, and the keyboard can't shift, I don't think they will. Curious if anyone's tested it though.

Maybe they're being downvoted because their comment was irrelevant and useless. "This could do X if you do everything just right." "I don't wanna!" Well, great.

Rural American farmers backed Trump because they want their grants and subsidies back. (welfare) I say put your own fences up and build your own stack houses. Pay for your own water hookup. Most are polluting the air and water anyway. There should not be a ban of info released but FOIA is a joke in itself. I totally agree with the ban of grants. There's plenty of people in this country willing to grow food for a free market. Can't afford to farm then sell the land daddy gave you and let the REAL new and beginning farmers get a shot at sustainable farming. Look ate ewg.farm.org and see the many local politicians gutting taxpayer money. EPA and USDA shameful.
Some experience to share: I studied Scala and FP on the side before jumping to a team that was using it in production. Most of the engineers on the team have an enthusiasm to learn about and use fp.

Bi-weekly we have a book club where we take turns presenting a topic from functional programming in Scala, functional reactive domain modelling and others.

We program as simply as possible but when a new technique is discovered we go ahead and use it after it's been presented to the team and everyone is comfortable with it.

all code is reviewed and unreadable code does not pass

Compile times haven't been an issue. As an example a 100k line Scala program with around 900 files takes around 2 minutes to rebuild whilst incremental changes are immeasurably fast. Reloading code while a local server is running is easy by default in IntelliJ.

Using worksheets for playing is often useful.

we don't use actors where streams would make more sense and vice versa, know the purpose of your tools

I've had bad experiences with Go. I know that for the application I'm working on it would not scale to 10 programmers working and constant refactoring due to business goals changing.

Cars aren't particularly size constrained, even if the Model S battery was twice the size it is now it wouldn't have a huge impact on the size or performance of the entire car.

Weight is important; doubling the weight of that battery would affect the S significantly.

Obviously battery cost is important; doubling that would add a huge blow to the bottom line of the S let alone the 3.

So it's not surprising that Tesla would optimize for cost, weight & other engineering factors such as cooling and reliability over size.

You are looking the wrong direction. You now work for your new employer, not your old one. As long as you gave appropriate notice to your old employer, you did your part in being professional. Any resentment coming from them would be inappropriate and unprofessional.
So many great questions and well wishes in this thread, allowing them to explain and market their product in detail. Am I alone in finding this attention to be totally contrived? Other products are launched and get zero attention. Or is it a benefit of being in the YC machine that you get so much FREE support?
I am just so used to the routine of [ESC] -> click elsewhere -> look for a X to click (when adblock fails) that I tend to ignore the effect these tactics can have.

This article suggests that schools are taking an interesting step to avoid such resentment:

White appreciates, for example, that Harvard gives low-income students free tickets to the freshman formal, but they have to pick up the tickets in a different line from everyone else. “It’s clear who is getting free/reduced tickets and who isn’t,” he says...

This seems like it might be an effective strategy. Take the people who are living on the largess of others (e.g. grad students on a stipend, poor undergrads on financial aid) and give them constant reminders that they are there thanks to the contributions of others. Then perhaps they'll feel gratitude instead.

In much the same way, my CEO likes to remind us that annoying as customers can sometimes be, that's where our salaries are coming from.
Not your problem. That employer clearly doesn't care about you, why should you care about them? Move on to your new position.
having read the economist article I am inclined to agree, at least that he deserves a chance to prove his mettle. I felt the same about trump, not least because he is the US president and that is not going to change, you have to assume he is doing what he thinks is best and so I have to hope that he does a great job, the worry is that the first indicators on Trump are that he is relatively unhinged and egotistical, lets home that Tillerson can rein him in in places.

Mutation in lambdas is not compatible with your complaint about "inadequate support for high-level functional programming", as it goes against the principles of FP.

You can't do that in Haskell either, and any FP purist would blanch at a statement like that.

this is the essence of the problem for Python's long term future. They've been so burned by the 2-to-3 mess that nobody will ever dare touch the fundamentals again. As you say, some of this stuff (performance, multicore) should have been slotted into 3 since it was breaking-change already, even if delaying it by a few years. Then everybody would have moved, pronto. Now, even if 3 finally snuffs 2 out, we'll be stuck with the fairly unsatisfactory 3 underlying architecture essentially forever.
Of course not! "Terrorist" is a person so extreme that they have near super powers!

Elon musk already proved his rigor and discipline with coding the zip2 product. It is in no way match to the rigour in management. So he gets lot of respect with other tech guys. Where as it's hard to take order from a manager who has never build anything.
But those lower level players still have strong knowledge of how to play, and probably tried just as hard as some top level players. They're not going to suddenly announce that they put some numbers in a spreadsheet and figured out that a 5 second 60 yard dash would guarantee victory, so it's time to start training for it.

In technical fields it's not uncommon for managers to ask people to do things that are literally impossible.

There's a third part to the equation: how often your trip is one which can't use Superchargers.

Most trips can. Coverage is pretty good nowadays. You don't "look for" them, the car tells you where to go. 3AM is irrelevant, they're open 24/7. If your trip is well covered by the network, you're looking at a 10-20% time penalty. If it's not, you're screwed, of course, but people seem to overstate how likely that is.
I had a bit when I was 10 or so where I'd go to great lengths to explain the magnitude of my humility. If 10-year-old me was cynical enough to develop a routine about it... how has it ever worked?

I think this team was doomed from the start.

If you come from an imperative programming background, as this team did, (typed) FP is a new way of thinking. It takes a long time to adjust to this new mindset, particularly if you've been programming in imperative languages for a long time. Go, on the other hand, is more of the same. It doesn't seem that anyone on the team had a background in typed FP, and it doesn't seem that they had any support from the organisation to make this shift. I'm not surprised it took them a long time and didn't end well.

Learning new things is hard and until universities and other training providers start teaching FP these kinds of stories will continue. (The alternative, to have companies investing in training and mentoring [plug: my company provides these services for Scala] doesn't appear to be likely en-masse, even though it would be radically cheaper than throwing away code.)
