>Well, work conditions are worsening everywhere. Stress it our daily bread now. Stress == non alignment between responsibilities and authorities, like a dieselgate software engineer being ordered to make it, but s/he will end up the only one in court.

I was looking for this kind of statement and thank goodness I found it. I was starting to think it was just me and my angry, cynical and jaded colleagues bitching more as we get older.

Reading your statement, I am starting to digest the simple fact that our profession has gone to the dogs. There are fewer and fewer employers that understand what we do is part craft, part art, part engineering. We DO need a union. We need SOMETHING.

Here's what I am finding: the misalignment of authority and responsibility lead to being forced to do shitty work in place of long-term solid development. This then sets us up for blame when the technical debt mounts. Then WE are the ones struggling to deal with the eventual REAL outcome that leads to a boat-load of stress.

edit: While typing this reply, my friend/colleague texted me to say he is experiencing nausea and anxiety DAILY now. I know of several developers on anti-anxiety meds that they began taking within the past two years due to work stress.
As someone who dislikes the all-in-one form factor of the iMac and quite enjoys being able to mix and match the monitors I want with a tiny, quiet machine, I really hope this happens soon. My current desktop is a 2010 Mini with dual HD displays, and it is getting a bit long in the tooth...
Why not disable individuals' cars as well? If you can get into the immobilizer system, you can likely get contact information for the driver. Immobilize the car at 3am, and schedule an automated phone call at 6am: "Your car has been immobilized. Send 1 BTC to <address> to unlock your car."

I understand that it's more effort than just contacting a single company after immobilizing their fleet, but is a company with a fleet likely to have their cars equipped with immobilizers?
Thanks for the advice! We believe that users remember the slowest actions as well. Your strategy sounds like it will help identify the long tail of rare yet slow actions.
Peter Thiel Is Bankrolling an Unapproved Offshore Herpes Vaccine Trial
I've been dabbling in web development since dhtml was the new hotness and I can 100% say that it is completely unreasonable to expect a human to be able to do it at all today. You're no longer looking for technical solutions to a challenge (Which is fun!). Now you are just looking for the component that closest resembles your challenge so you can bolt it on and gain no understanding of the equipment/problem/standards/funstuffs other than their snowflake interface, and once you "master" that, you move on. It's not "hard" the same way it once was. Now it's just "business need" ADHD at "web scale". I can't do it anymore either.

Lower level programming is still relaxing. Ever played with an arduino? Could be fun if you have kids that would like it.
Maybe they should direct to it instead of some full page banner begging me to use their poor app.
That's impressive! What does fusion mean? I've heard fusion multiple times and I've the feel that fusion (in haskell at least) is something very advanced that's not really thought. Can you explain?
Can you share any studies around this? Especially about sleep apnea and bipolar 1.
You don't indicate your current age. Having coded for 30+ years, I'll observe:

The complexity of computing has increased to a staggering degree. People discuss Moore's Law and variants in terms of transistor count, pixels, bytes, etc - but nobody comments on the sheer scale of library functions/classes/objects/etc to work with. Jumping from classic custom embedded systems to iOS opened orders of magnitude more capabilities & calls to work with - wonderful in the flexibility & power available, overwhelming in the options available & details expected. I come from an age where aspiring computer engineers were expected to understand systems "sand to Skyrim" (my current term); today the same brainpower could remain exclusively within one development platform. To wit: there's so much to know & do I'm not surprised at capable people burning out.

Pile on top of that your #1 comment about family. My load surely has increased, a mentally demanding addition on top of my increased job skills & responsibilities. Fortunately anxiety isn't a problem for me, but I certainly understand how it could break someone.

So what to do?

Simplify.

Make clear to family you have limits, that more extracurricular activities are beyond you and boundaries must be set. Remind them you're putting in 40-80 hours a week to provide & support, that your work/sleep/self hours are off limits for their schedules, and you can only do so much at once.

Manage development work. Place boundaries, don't say "yes" to everything (the more you do the more you'll be given to do).

Work environments can be changed. Change accordingly - even if that means switching employers.

Physical discomfort...others can better address ergonomics. I'm blessed with having typed so long it doesn't bother me.

Recognize mental changes. They're real. Organize things so they will remind & guide. Get sleep, eat well, exercise.

And simplify. Carve out spaces of simplicity. Deny options that don't facilitate your core activities. Better to take longer doing simple tasks than trying to speed thru via increased complexity.
Nissan is slightly moving upmarket but the amount of incentives they have to give out to sell is still way above industry average (which my comment was based on). Toyota or Honda have to barely discount their vehicles to sell, do you really thing Dodge or even Chevy can get away with that? They can't, thats why you can get $5-10k off MSRP on pretty much any Chevy right now, good luck trying that at Toyota. [1]

The Dodge Viper is a notable exception but even FCA realized that it hurt sales and spun it off as a separate brand: SRT, which they discontinued this year, and with it, the Viper is dead. [2]

They're using the blockchain to essentially track the authenticity and proper ownership of your "burger points." I'm with other comments that it's complete overkill but your post misunderstands both blockchain and BK's implementation. To start with, there's no mining involved since it's proof of stake. There's so many other identity/trust/authorization opportunities for blockchain so I could see this being a low-risk test case for something more significant one of BK's partners has in mind.

I totally agree with you, and started writing something about how understanding a good ORM takes nearly all the headache away.

I think the thing people do find slow is a lot of 'documents within documents' in SQL. It turns out this is usually a bad development pattern long term but it is super fast being able to just add docs inside docs with no configuration. It feels very slow writing foreign keys, navigation props and schemas for this in SQL vs JSON, where you can just dump your object in and you're done.

Basically; I think with noSQL you get some very short term gain for a lot of long term pain, and you're right, ORMs and other tooling solves this mostly.

I myself fell for this trap, and while it was a nightmare it actually matured me more as a professional more than anything I've ever done recently. Regardless of crazy hype, I don't think I'll ever fall for a solution so easily without evaluating it properly.

I think I assumed the "crowd" had done the tech due diligence on this stuff and it definitely wasn't the case.
Apple has done both, as had Microsoft. Microsoft didn't just blindly copy everything Apple did. As much as I hate Microsoft of the 90s, they did innovate too.

Apple doesn't blindly copy? What do you call Apple Music then? Ping? What did Apple do to innovate in that space above and beyond Spotify? That's a long list of UI features Apple cribbed from Android, WebOS, and Windows Phone that ended up (IMHO), inferior copies, where the copy didn't actually improve on (make great) the original.

In what way does Apple Photos improve on the quality of Google Photo's deep learning based categorization that is user-visible and noticeable?

No One Fails Anymore – Everybody ‘Pivots’
I agree that interesting stories don't have to adhere to this structure (and by all means, stories should break the rules!). But, the western market generally demands it for salable material, especially novels.

Even in this conflict structure, the best antagonists are the ones that believe they are doing good. It's not a trite good vs. evil construct. They have their own desires and a philosophy that can be a logical way to solve a problem (but in conflict with how the hero wants to solve it).

Ghibli films do this best. For example, in Princess Mononoke, the antagonist (Lady Eboshi) is initially presented as the evil forest destroyer, chopping down trees to make villages and industry. But then, you find out she does this to provide shelter and work for social outcasts. It's a moral dilemma with no clear right answer.
Exactly, it could be so many things. Even if results come back inconclusive, it doesn't mean something's not going on.

On that note, I could be totally off and the OP might just be regular old stressed, but there's no way anybody can really tell from this post. Everyone will project their worst experiences onto it.

I wrote a bit of C recently, it's impressive how patternless it makes you think. At least not in the OOP way. You may think in patterns, but it's not encoded in source. It's implicit structure. It's also very different because every bit of help you allow in your source is carefully thought out, you want it to fit the fragile land of C and also now you're moving bytes somehow explicitely, you tend to think more about memory and cpu perf.. again less pattern envy.

ps: I also forgot to say, even though I'm a fp head these days, imperative C felt fun, that is if you carefully stay into state -> state mindset ;)
> Sounds like you're exactly the opposite of the target audience.

Seriously. The magic for the mass market in a product like Grammarly is not handling all cases correctly, all the time, with lots of complexity; it's handling most cases cases correctly, most of the time, with minimal complexity.
Neither of those articles contains anything even hinting towards my statement being false. Their contents are merely speculation.

I've got a decent amount of experience with this, and I'm certain there's never been any large scale money laundering activity using Linden dollars. The idea is simply ridiculous, the economy isn't large enough to support it.
It benefits the customer because otherwise no one is going to sell even a very cheap car to a broke-ass barely-employed with terrible credit.
Moral and ethical questions can be rather contentious and people often come to different conclusions, and there's nontrivial moral weight to due process and the rule of law. Many people are better off operating in a consistent and predictable legal framework, so if someone is violating current law, that's relevant to a moral evaluation of a situation.

Further, establishing what current law has to say about a situation, and what actually happened in the situation, is a required prerequisite to a discussion about proposed policy changes. Trying to propose changes to the law to change people's rights in situations like this without knowing what the actual details are or whether those details are already in violation or compliance with current law isn't exactly productive, especially given the base rate of inaccurate and incomplete reporting.

Phrased a bit differently, "should" and "shouldn't" aren't completely independent from a given regulatory environment, in that there's nontrivial societal benefit from people knowing what to expect. In cases where some people have decided that certain clauses in a contract are unacceptable (noncompete employment agreements in some states, for example) we've explicitly documented that. If you have opinions on regulation of contracts for auto purchases relevant to this situation, it's absolutely worth first establishing when the contract specified transfer of title, whether or not the contract mentioned the $200 removal fee, and what current law has to say about that.

It is a good default, surprises or unintended consequences aside. As a sysadmin, I don't really want to spend time installing packages for users that I trust with shell access, to require my assistance so they can install signed packages from the OS vendor in the default way.

The firewall is secure by default, and installing packages is not punching holes in it by default, so this is really not as surprising as I thought at first. The user can install packages and ask for my help to punch holes in the firewall, or edit configuration, if needed.

If it wasn't needed, they didn't need to waste any of my time or theirs, talking to me so I could do a visit and put my hands on the machine, give it my superuser password, just to add a new package with the default configuration. And that is a victory.

I would really doubt that with most cars made in this century. The On Board Computer (OBC) likely has a satellite hook-up via OnStar or some similar system. You'd likely have to replace the entire OBC, which is many thousands of dollars. I guess you could push-start a manual and get that working, but good luck with that.
It's risky in that you'd be developing a product that can't be "sold" to both markets. If you have two seemingly viable ideas for an app, and one can reach both platforms, while the other only one, you'll likely choose the former.
Honestly, this doesn't read like much of a recommendation to me.

I think a native English speaker would probably write "I always check my article with it before publishing" - reversing the negation avoids the awkward "never forget to".

Meanwhile, that last sentence reads like perfectly reasonable conversational English to me: omitting the "the" emphasises the "High price point" part.

It seems that Grammarly will help you avoid the very common ESL type English errors (missing definite article, verb-subject agreement etc etc), which makes it worthwhile for many people, but it isn't going to get you over that final 'native speaker' grade hump.

Fair point and good analogy. While I can't comment on the neurotoxicity, I will definitely say MDA itself has a more LSD like effect than MDMA does and contributes significantly to differing effects.

Depreciation tells only one part of the story, and actually Kias are very high within their segment. Try comparing something like a Toyota Camry vs. Kia Optima - it's night and day difference.
> IMHO, the cause is a combination of commercialism and of visual designers being inculcated with inappropriate values and training from traditional print design.

I judge that it got a lot worse around the time the print-trained designers started to be pushed out of decision-making positions by the digital-trained ones.

Developing Your Pricing Strategy
I just turned 43. I've been doing this for about 25 years now. I remember having a similar issue right around 30-33. Here's what helped me:

Sleep. Make sure you're getting enough. Seriously, prioritize this over many other things in your life.

Address that fucking RSI. Go to a doctor if you have to. Experiment with breaks, standing desks, ergonomic keyboards, better chairs. Find what works -- this is the only body you get.

Hydrate. Make sure you're drinking enough water. Dehydration can lead to brain fog and irritability.

Change the way you take notes. I used to be able to hold large parts of a system in my head. That changed around 30. I had to start taking better and more structured notes. Incidentally, QA started really liking the bugs I fixed because my documentation ended up being so good. So, good things all around there.

Make sure you're doing fun things. These don't just have to be technology related of course. But seriously, enjoy life. Play board games if that's your thing. Go hiking. Take pictures. Read a book (or three). Plan in downtime to walk during the day.

Too many middle men. How many middle men are inbetween you and me right now with this post? Probably 5 companies at a min? People are interested in saving money but not at the expense of their time or convenience. I agree with you, but it's just never going to happen.

Sorry, was the arxiv paper[0] linked in the Wired article not sufficient? I'm not regional expert on this subject myself so if you've got contrary information I'd be interested in reading it. It's my assumption Wow's economy is much larger than SL's, and I'd also assume that in aggregate these different digital economies are more than large enough to hide transactions. That's speculation on my own part, though, and if you have any actual evidence other than claiming "decent experience" I'm interested.

I'm not sure what the definition of "large scale money laundering" is in this situation.

It seems really disingenuous to talk about market caps in cryptocurrencies. The US dollar doesn't have a market cap. No currency does. Market cap is the markets valuation of a company. The term is used to contrast it against their actual valuation. The use in crypto is just a mechanism to dress them up like stocks.

If you call these currencies, then you need to recognize that they are extremely deflationary and will never be used as fiat currencies are. If you call them speculative investments, you need to realize they're not backed by any actual value.

Schemaless db is great feature. Joins can be done through an orm like Laravel's eloquent which allows you to join mysql to mongo using a cross-join table on the mysql side.

Adding columns in an mpv product is trivial. Getting a stream of unstructured data and being able to save the different data to a document that is part of the same collection is an amazing feature that is needed still.
tbh, I don't disagree with you here. RethinkDB invested in our open source community more than marketing.. it's arguably part of why we didn't succeed as a business.
As far as I know, Teslas have a similar issue like this too. They won't start if you don't have cell service as it cannot verify you are the driver of the car via the app on the phone. If you have the fob, you are fine, but it's another failure point that was unconsidered even a few years ago.
