Why? If you're proficient in multiple languages, there's no real upside, especially if each language is easily hireable.

And it's particularly irrelevant if the front-end or back-end is weighted more heavily than the other in terms of product value, when you might hire distinct rather than "full stack" devs someday.

You are way too sensitive and demanding, IMHO. You're probably a developer: is this how you want people thinking of you when you inevitably push a bug? I can understand looking elsewhere after a pattern of problems and repeated frustration with no improvement, but getting pissed off just because you have to talk to someone one or two times is just unreasonable. Have a little empathy for the people on the other side.
As per the article, Vanguard's biggest fund is the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index which tries to track the CRSP U.S. Total Market Index. That index is "Nearly 4,000 constituents across mega, large, small and micro capitalizations, representing nearly 100% of the U.S. investable equity market." I don't think you have to worry much about a bifurcation between large and small companies. My worry would be that the "investable equity market" is shrinking and that most the growth in the future will come from companies pre-IPO where non-accredited investors cannot invest.
The part that applies specially to young and white is the elevated mortality. Life expectancies for that group are declining which isn't true for African-Americans and Hispanics or Asians.
Agreed. It's one thing if the Cool Tech actually gives you a competitive advantage by solving the problem better, easier, with lower costs, faster, more personalized, etc.

Outside of that...it's all about the business. That's why so many successful businesses are built with Ruby and not "benchmark winner of the week" because Ruby tends to deliver on almost all of the business cases around solving problems and growth.

If you're a larger business and planning to deploy at scale to an existing customer base, the business problems tend to change more towards performance and Right Tool for the Job.
Myanmar as well. But again, I think if they can choose, they'd rather choose to live away (not too far away to pay a visit like once a month/year) from their parents. There's no hard and fast rule/expectation about that nor anybody is looked down by the society for living with his/her parents.
> "Well in other countries it's perfectly normal"

The problem is that in other cultures it is not only normal, but going far away is bad! I am talking about moving from cities, not actually living with your parents.

In Spain this happens mainly in smaller cities and towns and with somewhat more traditional thinking families. In many of these cases* you are expected to stay close so the family takes care of each other in both ways.

Even the next big city might be a reason for relatives to feel bad for your family. The person moving away is categorized normally into:

- Needs it for $: financially unstable OR greedy, while other cultures would see this as a positive career improvement. If these people are already at the top of their career path, then they should help improve the country!

- Troublesome: someone who doesn't care for the family, while other cultures would see this as independent. These are expected to end up like those non-fancy-titled people who are flipping bugers or receiving you in a hostal in UK or Germany.

- Temporary to grow: it is okay to go abroad as long as you come back later on. Normally it is expected that they tell a lot of stories about how crappy the other country was and all the trouble they had.

Luckily I am from a bigger city and my family knows (even though they won't verbally admit it) how bad this country is for what my sister and I like doing. They try to show support us working abroad even though it's clear they are unhappy when we go away.

*Yes, there are many situations where this is not the case! Normally with people who speak N languages and has a degree (like me) are not like this. I am talking about my experiences from smaller cities.
I think they specify 'White' based on this passage:

"While blacks and Hispanics without college degrees are also falling behind economically and socially, middle-age mortality has worsened for whites in particular over the past 20 years—a fact some attribute partly to social context.

“For whites, their reference group is previous generations of whites,” said Shannon Monnat, a Pennsylvania State University professor who studies the opioid epidemic in rural America. “When they look back on their parents and grandparents, it feels like their generation is doing worse.”"
"America is not a great place for people [....]"

It seems to be true in general, unless you have a boatload of money, but then I would argue you would be ok pretty much anywhere. HN has been bombarded with such grim news of the US that I honestly feel bad for Americans(maybe I shouldn't, I don't know), but at least on paper, the world's greatest country doesn't look that great to live in anymore(UK is looking worse and worse by the minute, so maybe it's a general trend).
I also think it's worth considering the various cultural shifts, etc. from one generation to the next.

One thing that I always found interesting about the greatest generation vs the boomers is the shift in attitudes towards wealth, one's civic duty, etc.

The finance industry is a nice microcosm to study this shift... 40-50-60 years ago banker salaries and the enviability of their jobs were both low. Top grads from the ivies would sneer at their classmates for going into finance over something like the diplomatic corps. Today that's 100% reversed.

I always felt that the "professional services" industry is basically a giant con perpetuated by lazy boomers because it's an easy, optically nice appearing, way to shift money into one's own pocket. Collectively, they've created these upper-income professions that serve little to no value, solely in place to fund "elite" society. The result is that the greatest minds of my generation are wasted in the pursuit of making silly and irrelevant powerpoint decks (Consulting) or rent-seeking in the capital markets (Banking). And look, it's even infesting technology as evidenced by the legion of irrelevant startups. Why work hard at something difficult when you can roll the dice with someone else's pension funds (and if that fails, onwards and upwards to HBS)?
and the order of things is pretty important
An interesting thing I noticed after moving to America, is that race is such a big deal here that many issues have to be labeled by race, even if they apply universally.

Canadian medias on the other hand, seem to be much less interested in playing the race card.
You don't hear that from psychiatric doctors about SSRIs because they all know it's bollocks.

In England I've only ever met 3 doctors who said mental illness was purely, or even mostly, biological. All the others, including the ones who focused on the diseases we think are biological (bipolar; psychosis) placed great importance on the psychological and social impacts.
I don't really view what I do as a career anymore. Then again, maybe my definition of career is not the norm. I don't identify myself by my job, and perhaps I'm one of those lucky people who actually enjoys what they do in exchange for money. Still, I am not beholden to my career, and I couldn't be paid all the money in the world to do something that I don't believe in doing. If I feel it's best to work from home, I'm going to do so and if my employer doesn't like it, well, there are plenty of other places that value employee happiness and product over process. Beyond the fact that most people don't understand the work that I do, I hesitate to talk about a "career" as if it's something I have to cling to and have to be careful of hurting.

Life may be short, but we often lose perspective of how easy modern life is, in general. Some people have the short end of the stick, and I've had it a few times in my life. But rather than obtaining a career, I'd much rather obtain the ability to give my occupation the middle-finger and just do something else without batting an eye.

As far as working from home vs the office, to me it's not about one or the other. With the amount of isolation we have in the modern world, the office can be a more positive force for healthy social interaction than it once was. But sometimes I want to work in the solitude of my home while being able to do a few chores, eat ice cream, etc., while my Docker image gets built. I usually choose to work at home when I especially enjoy what I am working on but am just sick of the office atmosphere. Other times, I have something I'm less interested in but need a "serious" environment for so I can better concentrate. For that, I choose the office.

I really hope employers don't read more articles like this and take them the wrong way.
The tolerance for abject racism in the media these days is appalling. This article's contents have nothing to do with race, and more to do with economic status. This is the flip side of a media that has espoused the ideals of identity politics, they can't even see past someone's racial grouping to identify a problem facing all Americans ( and most likely other nations too in our globalized economy ). Bloomberg should be ashamed of their journalistic quality and integrity
That's true, but it only matters once the attacker manages to run code - which is significantly harder to achieve on Linux, due to diversity (opposite of win monoculture) and mostly sane defaults (no local directory in executable or dll search directory; file name not enough for execute permission).

Buffer overflows and targeted attacks are comparable in ease, but if you are not targeted, you are way safer on Linux.

I'm guessing the successful people you're describing do not have severe learning disabilities. And I find it at least questionable that parenting has gotten markedly less supportive in the past few decades.
You also likely can't work into your 60s doing work like this. Some people move into management, assessment, inspection, etc, but not everyone can do that. There's more going on here than stigmatization (which I rarely see in real life), these jobs have a different set of concerns that we aren't good at dealing with socially.
Seems like you dislike bad curation specifically, rather than curation itself. After all, Last.fm was already curating the songs they recommended (it wasn't like they literally threw a random sample of all their catalog).

That said, I agree with you that this kind of "finding the closest match" model is quite silly for recommendation systems. And you can see the same problems with ad matching too.
Overlay with unemployment and PPP per capita maps and you'll be starting to get a clearer picture.
Not highly regarded by some in the US.
Seems like basic economic theory, the more capital you have flowing through the economy at a lower level, the more opportunities there are. Whereas these 8 people are siloing their wealth in investments, that same money divided up among people of low income would be spent upwards of 3x, and given to the middle class iirc it was something around a 2x factor. Both are much better for our economy than having that wealth sit siloed as an investment.
You could, but the article is focused on issues specific to young white Americans.
https://www.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/investing-ideas/index-...

This is obviously a Fidelity marketing spiel...but it's not a lie...Fidelity's active funds (which they made their name on) are definitely more expensive than Vanguard, but if you buy their passive index funds, you basically get equivalent expense ratios. (Same is true at Schwab.) And IMO, their website is far better than Vanguard's. I'll give Vanguard credit for jump starting passive investing for the little guy, but they aren't significantly different than their competition anymore.
I think "layoff" means "involuntary layoff". No need to dramatize by adding "involuntary". I think that was my point. The word only adds drama. Everyone knows what a layoff is.

What many have described as voluntary layoffs I would probably call "voluntary resignation with incentives".

The company is asking you: Are you willing to quit your job and pretend we let you go?

It is wrapped around a layoff to be nice to the employee because this activates unemployment benefits, etc

What happens if nobody, not one person, volunteers? They layoff as many people as they need to, involuntarily, of course, as the term implies.

I had a case some thirty years ago when I worked at a shitty unionized company where I was asked (muscled by the union really) to choose between resigning or being laid off. The options had some convoluted combinations of benefits and legal implications (union stuff) that were hard for my younger self to decipher. I ended-up opting to resign, on paper. It was then executed as a layoff.
> You don't pay taxes working from home?

It is very easy to achieve that by moving out of the country. You see, in 75% of the globe they do not have a population registry with address registry with a functioning postal system to send you a tax return right to where you happen to live. A lot of these countries -- most actually -- have an income tax system on their books, but they cannot make it work, not even to save themselves from drowning. In those circumstances it is impossible for them to ask me about my income, which they then don't. I pay no income tax because nobody around me does, and if they did, I would just move elsewhere.
That is nonsense. Things got horrible for average workers at the dawn of the industrial revolution. Then they improved markedly due to progressive reforms, and are now rolling back in the face of regressive policies and rising inequality.

It's not really that complicated. Progressive policies, regulation, and tax policy have better outcomes. There are just powerful and wealthy forces with vested interests working hard to argue otherwise.
If you have not yet done it, I suggest reading enough of SICP to implement a LR parser from the "E B 0 1 +" language of the Wikipedia page "LR parser". After having done this in Python, JavaScript, and Scheme, I get worse at it each time yet still come back for more like some drug addict or jazz musician.

Ambiguous parses and disambiguation are actually a fascinating subject in the estimation of parsing effort. It is possible to try to estimate the parsing difficulty / amount of disambiguation required of a sentence with blanks that are labeled with the type of content the blank may be filled with, the "mad libs" parsing problem. A web server administrator must do this at some level; otherwise the device is vulnerable to a denial of service attack that causes it to waste time parsing input.

The problem is rather complicated because these "attacks" may come from anywhere: you can consider a complex question your ten year old son poses to be a denial of service attack on your metaphysical foundations; alternatively, denial of service may be a tool used during war.
[...] since LRU also is also just a way to approximate LFU, since the most frequently used items are often the last recently used ones.

That is not really true. LRU and LFU favor different items, LRU ones used frequently in the short term, LFU ones used frequently in the long term. Only under special circumstances does one approximate the other, for example if your cache is large enough that LRU does not evict the most frequently used items when many less frequently used items are placed in the cache before the most frequently used items are accessed again, then LRU approximates LFU.
We're at the point where the United State can either become utopia or dystopia.

Automation can either allow everyone to do whatever they want with almost unlimited leisure, or continue as it has destroying the middle class and consolidating wealth for the elite.

I used to be hardcore capitalism but if something isn't done to spread the wealth we are going to have our own French revolution with the plebes rising up against the elite. The anger that got trump elected is just the beginning if things don't change

Unfortunately, basic human nature probably won't allow this change to happen without violence.
Keurig can't be described as "mess free." We have one and work and the machine spews coffee all over itself and, of course, the place you put the pods and the spout gets all gunked up and nobody cleans it. It's pretty gross. Same thing happened with the old one so it's not just one model.

>Maybe in a non-coffee drinking house where guests occasionally want one cup.

I have a $20 drip pot that makes 1-2 cups and takes up a quarter of the counter space. French press is even cheaper and I have one that makes only a single cup. Then there's aeropress...
That makes a lot of sense actually, and has historically been the trend that most societies took. Once you accumulate wealth and power, you do everything to keep it.

Democracy and diffusion of political power have been very recent phenomena, in the larger scheme of things.
I'm not complaining about Qt. It seems like a perfectly cromulent framework. But I have personally seen at least one application that would suggest that some people have tried to write Qt applications without first learning Qt.

Please, people, for the love of those whom your customer may hire after you, take the time to understand signals and slots before porting that godawful mess of garbage you got from your customer's previous contractor to Qt.
Agreed! In the meantime I think that this lib is very nice. Fine tuning performance is an art and requires knowledge and time.
I love this advice. Here is a blog post that I keep coming back to regarding this.

Couldn't they employ tax gain harvesting for users that are interested in the short/long term capital gains differential in TLH? They don't do this, but I'm curious.

i.e. cycle long term gains after one year of ownership so that they are more likely to produce harvestable losses in the next year. Obviously this prevents the basis gains of TLH, but wouldn't it be dwarfed for users whose long-term capital gains tax rate is much lower than their short-term capital gains rate?

Interesting point about the maturity & availability of 3rd party Unity libraries. Do you have any plans to open source your Unity libraries (UUID, etc)?
Just to entertain your strawman, here is an old zen tale:

>When Bodidharma, the legendary founder of Zen, came to China, a disciple came to him and said "I have no peace of mind. Please pacify my mind." And Bodhidharma said "Bring out your mind here before me and I'll pacify it." "Well," he said, "when I look for it, I can't find it." So Bodhidharma said "There, it's pacified."

Coming from a Princeton egghead that's not a surprising point of view.
^^^^^^^

Surprised to see this on HN. Anyways, it's not just a point of view, it's backed by data. Only having a high school diploma is objectively worse (with regards to both financial and physical well-being amongst other metrics). It's not looking down on the less-educated, it's pointing out that the circumstances are bad for them. My English and history PhD friends are in worse positions too (at least financially) despite being a hell of a lot better educated than me.

I don't think IntelliJ vs. Atom is a good comparison for Electron vs. JVM. IntelliJ is doing a lot of things Atom doesn't do, like loading/building an index of all of your code and dependencies in order to auto-complete and show docs on demand.

The skilled trades are very highly regarded among many, many people -- just not the same people who go to four year research universities.

I was an officer and platoon leader in the Army, the endgame for a lot of my soldiers was to use their GI Bill benefits to get to trade school and then become an apprentice in a union. They considered making it in one of the sought-after trades really "making it."

If you've ever hired an electrician in the Bay Area, btw -- let me tell you, these guys are doing pretty well for themselves.
Yeah, there can be a lot of bandwidth required. RAW images at 24.2MP are around 30-40MB (https://toolstud.io/photo/megapixel.php?width=6016&height=40...) and at 20FPS you're above 1Gbps (which a crowded wireless network certainly can't handle).

Add those bandwidth requirements to some of the real-time workflows professionals engage in today (see http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-a9/sony-a9A.HTM and the comments around 11:53) such as:

"first Sony camera with an ethernet port. Have to be real time. Shows, presidential debates, every shot I took went right out onto the network as soon as I shot it."

and

"for major UFC events, it’s vital to be able to do a live workflow, where images are constantly going back to an edit station and go out to the world immediately. Not only the ethernet, but the wireless is key for social media outfits all over the world."

and ethernet makes sense.
Yes. The staring man (Smiley, played by Gary Oldman) is looking for a spy in his organization. The man being stared at is worried that Smiley is going to kill him (by putting him on the plane). The audience feels the same anxiety by proxy, because it appears that the actors are about to be hit by the propellers.

Look again at the actors. Smiley never stops studying the others' face, while the other looks scared, nervous, shifty, and guilty the entire time. Even without context you should be able to pick up that Smiley is cool as ice, and that the other man has something to hide.
Because there are a lot of developers they can chose from. Also its a young mans game. We have a new version of React or some random new framework every few months. I guess experience is not valued in this industry.

Agreed. I read some of Ivring Kirsh's (sp?) work recently -- fascinating thoughts.
Barring accidents, injury, or bad luck (e.g. a car crash or something), you can absolutely save enough to retire as a plumber before your body starts to break down. Especially if you assume SS will still be around for a new plumber's retirement, which may or may not be the case. Even without, it's doable. I know two plumbers socially and both are in their late 40's. One owns a plumbing business so mainly does office/marketing tasks but one is just a standard plumber and does plenty well for himself and his family.
No, the decision is in the context of the market capitalization, not the stock price. If $10M company has a share price of $50/share, then it has 200,000 shares outstanding. If it has a price of $100/share, then it has 100,000 shares outstanding. A buyout, merger or acquisition is based on the total value of the company, not based on the smallest unit of ownership in that company.
Its previous generations non college educated whites who are previously lived in rural areas which better job prospects then today. The fact that the mortality gab is closing is nothing to do with race and more to do with economics. Showing that race isn't the factor, but the reporting instead focuses on race like this is some kind of white person problem. All we are seeing is the economic collapse that hit inner cities and led to drug and mortality problems reach out to the rural areas.
Canada doesn't (to my knowledge) have a history of slavery, de jure (Confederacy) and then de facto (Jim Crow) followed by segregation. That may be the reason there is little interest on "playing the race card".
