All four of your numbered points are about ego and politics. If that's what you're thinking about, worrying about, and spending time on, that's (ironically) the reason for all four problems. What are you doing to learn the new technology?

You're an expert in some ways and a beginner in others. Now that THIS is your job, you're a beginner in more ways than you're an expert. Act like a beginner does, ask lots of questions, learn the hell out of the new stuff, take notes like you already do and then follow up on them later - look up every single word or concept you don't understand.

Don't believe you should be "having input into things" in meetings because you shouldn't, you're a n00b. Listen and learn like everybody does when they're new on the job.

Don't let colleagues or superiors have "expectations" that were probably unrealistic all along. You need support, and time (mentoring possibly too, but mostly time, if you have a modicum of initiative), to learn what you need to learn. You're not going to be "productive" right away. If anybody hired you under any different expectation, they were mistaken and now need to be corrected. If you had any different expectation, you were deceived as well. If you sold yourself as an expert, that was only partly true. Come clean now. If anybody feels it was not a fair deal in light of this new understanding, then you should offer to end the deal i.e. resign.

If it feels awkward to suddenly change your behavior, you can make an announcement: "I thought my experience would serve me better than it has, so now I realize I'm a n00b and will commence to bother you all constantly with n00b questions." I guarantee the humility and the request for patience will result in a truly awesome outpouring of support. OR, you work with douchebags and should resign.

4. When I see guys half my experience are miles ahead of me in terms of the tech skills in the new area, I wonder if I even have a chance catching up ?

Yes you do, but these guys are not "half your experience" if they are miles ahead of you. If you played hockey 20 years, you'd understand a lot about teams, athleticism, and even the general principle of moving an object down the playing area toward a goal, as a team. Basketball is like that too, but since your basketball experience is 0, you'd still be worse at basketball than someone 19 years younger than you who played basketball for 1 year. And actually, you won't "catch up." All you can hope for is to have one year of basketball experience after one year.
> I am sure there is a rigorous protocol

The "rigorous protocol" is one-way hardware diodes. The telemetry simply cannot physically travel the other way.

Now, of course, there can always be mistakes. Certification is supposed to catch that, but of course, that isn't fool proof either.

Staying silent is at least better than desperately trying to speak of something you don't know about

I don't agree. You should obviously not attempt to make it appear you know something you don't, but asking questions is a great way to show that you are thinking and trying to connect your previous experience to the current context.

I think that becoming a "grandmaster" of anything is probably outside of the scope of this research as that is a whole other bucket of worms (probably).

And who knows how the prevailing wisdom that you can't teach an old dog new tricks affected the number of people who chose to try to become a grandmaster? Maybe your priorities change when you are older and it has nothing or less to do with raw ability?

Yes, I read something about that subject in a recent HN post, with the religious opinions for homeschooling.

But in France, that's really irrelevant. All the recent terror attacks have been perpetrated by persons with a public school education.

So short sighted politicians could also claim that it's the fault of the public schooling system ! And that also be irrelevant.
Here's what works for me:

1. Give each idea a quick title and write them down

2. Write down the following questions:

* Does this solve a problem for me/am I the target audience?

* Am I part of an online/offline community that are also like me and would likely love this idea because it solves a problem?

* Can I easily get 3 paying customers within the next 5 days, because I have easy access to the target audience?

* Is this something I can launch by myself quickly?

There are more stuff you could ask to the list of questions, but basically the idea that has 'Yes' to all of these questions, is the one you should be jumping on right away. Cross away the other ideas that have No's, or try to figure out how to turn it into a Yes. But your time is limited, so don't waste it bouncing around with ideas that aren't a good fit.

Is the scientific method just a cultural value?
Sure, but this is an article specifically about BTC; none of its conclusions hold for cryptocurrencies generally. I guess it just seems really deceptive to talk about fiat's "hidden cost" of inflation while ignoring BTC's not-at-all-hidden cost.

Similarly, I'm unclear on why confirmation times aren't considered a serious problem. It seems like BTC enthusiasts like to discuss a hypothetical future in which the BTC infrastructure is so mature that you can buy coffee without worrying about fees and confirmation times, but I don't see how we get there from here. Either the payment takes hours to confirm (leaving the coffee shop vulnerable to double-spending) or it goes through an off-chain processor (who would demand to know my identity). Either way you're losing one of the main selling points of using a cryptocurrency in the first place.
I don't get how that could possibly be true, given that the CAD has depreciated something like 30% in the past few years vs USD?

The odds of a commercial bank going bust is higher then Germany going bust. Commercial banks only need to keep a few % of the money deposited at them on their books (its called fractional reserve banking), the other 95% or so can be invested or lent out elsewhere. There are regulations that restrict the risk, require hedging, insurance, etc but those don't help much if the insurer or a significant amount of the borrowers go bust as well due to systemic problems.

Yes, Microsoft is pulling an IBM, because they are fully aware that if they don't change, long term it will make them suffer really bad.
Pretty close. Except
1) you generate multiple hashes for a particular value, thus setting multiple bits for a value
5) when this happens, you use a larger filter
6) You can also determine with 100% confidence that a value isn't in the set.

Other than that, I think you have a good idea of what it's about. Once I learned about this, I got tons of great ideas. Right now, I think it would be cool to construct a bloom filter for detected bot users on twitter. You could make a plugin that marked tweets from probable bot-users as such without storing the whole db on disk, and without making tons of network requests.
"I do Python daily, but I also am familiar with Java and C++. In my experience with these languages I would argue that static type checking does not really help catching bugs other than the most trivial ones."

Guido Van Rossum seems to be more enthusiastic about static type checking. He's put in a lot of effort recently in to mypy[1], a static type checker for Python.

Dropbox, the company that Guido works for, has committed to adding static type annotations to their entire 4,000,000 line codebase and checking it with mypy. As of 2016 they had done 400,000 lines[2], and 700,000 lines as of 2017 (after 18 months total).[3]

Guido also mentioned that Dropbox's desktop client team, one of the most important teams at Dropbox, has mandated that all new code have static type annotations and be checked with mypy.[2]

And you lose state, unless you've carefully designed your app around that problem by using something like Redux. Which is a fine thing to do, but not everyone wants to.
One thing I've been trying to do lately is constantly be learning a new juggling trick. For years I just did what I could already do (which wasn't much, but 100% more than people who don't juggle at all), but I've been enjoying breaking down coordination barriers with new tricks (even simple ones) that are similar to things I have done but just different enough to mess my mind up.
>We need the log to retain all events forever, otherwise it is not possible to recreate a data store from scratch.

SIGH. Cue the facepalm, head in hands, etc.

I'm not going to get into a big thing here. But if you find yourself saying "I need to keep this thing forever no matter what" and then you try to use something that even entertains the notion of automatic eviction/deletion semantics as the system of record, you're doing it wrong.

Not to burst the bubble of the techno-hipsters, but Kafka is "durable" relative to message brokers like RabbitMQ, not relative to a system actually designed to store decades of mission-critical data. Those systems are called "RDBMS".

Elsewhere in the article he says that they have less than 100GB of data and that it's mostly text. This is massive overarchitecture that isn't even covering the basic flanks that it thinks it is, such as data permanence.

I would really like to read the article that discusses why Postgres or MySQL couldn't have served this purpose equally well.
Exactly, all 3 of your conclusions are true :)

1) My class had 30+% go into PhD programs, with over half of them receiving Fulbright/NSF/comparable prestigious research grants.

2) Earlier Olin classes graduated a larger percentage of people to take on high-paying jobs at Google/MS/IBM (and later FB/Twitter). It has shifted towards more academia and entrepreneurs

3) As one of (only) four international students in the first class (5% of the incoming class), yes, fewer international students. Yes, international students come from cultures less encouraging of entrepreneurship. While I'm definitely from one of those, being at Olin brought me around to entrepreneurship -- I wasn't interested until nearing graduation, reinforcing the article's point that Olin nurtures and graduates founders more effectively than other schools. I would almost certainly have worked a high-paying software dev job if I attended Stanford instead.

The secret is definitely to practice, I've found an even bigger shortcut is to convince/pay/beg an expert to be your coach or mentor. And once they are your coach, demonstrate that you respect their feedback by obeying when they tell you to update your approach.

As they say, perfect practice makes perfect.

That highly depends on your definition of success. An argument can be made that at least part if not all of the West is failing just as China has to provide a free society. At least in the U.S., free speech and other rights have always been argued "for their own sakes" and that's why the constitution sees them as inalienable. These rights do not exist to make society better or people's lives less hard, they exist because the people have decided that they come before government and are essential to life. They have decided that these rights exist a priori. Unfortunately, we have mostly failed to protect them as such even after enshrining them in the constitution. Our government has just failed a little less than China's.
You almost certainly will. My problem with burnout was it made it hard to even muster the energy to find a new job.

Once I did, I couldn't believe how dramatically my life improved. I didn't realize how many aspects of my life were being negatively affected by my old work environment.

You can buy much smaller denominations too. There's something called the combibar which is a bar with a bunch of scored 1 gram pieces that you can snap off, like a chocolate bar.

That said, I agree that gold is probably not that useful in a collapse.
I think a lot of people get into software because they dislike complexity and code gives them the opportunity to tackle it. You can't "solve" the complexity of humans and human interaction.

I'm sorry but you seem to have no idea about the what and why of montary policy.

A central bank has to conduct montary policy for the economy as a hole. Attempts by central banks to 'clamp down' on bubbles have generally been catastrophic.

Also the low interest rates are simply not just 'artefically low' because of central banks. The montary effect of the interest a central bank sets is determained by the difference to the natural rate.

Propery bubbles or any other bubbles by themselfs don't relay cause much problems beyond the markets in question if montary policy stays on target.

Aditionally the idea that all these things are bubbles is quite suspect in a lot of places there is real demand for property.

Contracting montary policy in order to fight a property bubble would lead to the hole economy going into a recession.

The last time the 'fighting bubble theory' was really popular was in 1929. I'm not saying that was the only reason for the Great Depression, but its one of the major reasons.

When my children were young I wrote them some games using Love2d in which they and their pets were the characters.

It was just intended to be a bit of fun, and it was, but they were actively involved in the game design and the artwork. I also worked through some of the maths and physics with them and they saw how it all came together in the code.

I'm not sure they did any coding per se other than tweaking parameters for gerbil speed etc but I think they got an appreciation of where programming fits in and how it's part of an interconnected whole.

Subsequently they have used Scratch at junior school and they all took to it without any help from me.

None of them have shown a particularly strong interest in pursuing computing either academically or as a profession and I haven't seen any need to push it.

If your children do show an interest though, I do recommend something like Scratch or Love2d (I'm sure there are equivalents for other dynamic languages). It's easy to produce a game that's surprisingly good and the feedback loop is essentially instantaneous.

I particularly liked how, with a game, it naturally brings together art, maths, science, computers and programming without feeling forced.

History repeats itself. Car makers tried to lock out third party parts decades ago. Claimed you only had a license to operate the vehicle, no ownership. Music and movie companies argued against First Sale doctrine similarly.

Courts wouldn't have it. They will stop this too. Digital property will be declared property, not licenses. No limits on resale transfer or rental and the like. Companies will howl like stuck pigs. And it will benefit them, as well as consumers, tremendously.
> Nothing I learned in college has helped me to the place where I am.

:( That's too bad, I hope they change something. Certainly some people will never benefit from organized learning, and perhaps you're in that category and it's otherwise a great school, but most people aren't like that.
Totally — I'll often have a small global CSS file for that exact reason. (Scoped CSS is about preventing your components from clobbering each other rather than preventing the desirable aspects of the cascade.)

If components are nested, inheritance still happens (unless you're compiling to web components with Shadow DOM, which Svelte allows), but cascading doesn't unless you opt-in per-selector with the global:(...) modifier borrowed from CSS modules.

Re isolation, if I've understood correctly, then state in components is indeed isolated.

Sorry, I don't understand your point. Are you trying to say, JavaEE is bad, or outsourcing to India is bad, or the code quality is bad?
> which requires some sort of build system

I don't get what you are trying to say. If you put your stile inside a div, and set the "scoped" attribute, it's scoped. What build system is required?

About the overall consistency, yes, some things must be global. It would be best if CSS allowed you to define those in one place and apply in another one. Yet it doesn't, so you must keep all the declarations touched by global data at a global style. That's bad, but what is even worse is putting the local declarations there too.

> I really liked the old 23andme and was an early customer. I felt it did a good job of presenting scientific conjecture with notes on confidence and how to use the data. It gave me some encouragement to cut down on my caffeine consumption, and to exercise more to try to influence specific gene expression, and if I was a carrier for a serious genetic disease, I definitely would want access to that information.

So I wonder what exactly in the 23andme data made you do these things.
I don't know about your caffeine intake, but if you drink a lot then I could've told you to limit it without any genetic data. And I certainly could've told you to exercise more.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not opposed to genetic testing. If people want to know their genes, ok. (I have done a 23andme test myself.)

But realistically there isn't a lot of data that is useful for lifestyle changes. The idea is "If I have disease X risk in my genes I can do something against it". However "something" usually means "exercise, eat healthy, don't smoke, avoid injuries, do all the boring stuff everybody knows". You don't need a genetic test to tell you to go to the gym for your health.
