"you're good at X, but the business has changed and Y is driving our bottom line much more than X now, but you have no interest in Y ... he odds of X being that important again in the future are very low"

This should be open discussion whether you have transparent salaries or not. Long before it comes to salary decision, the topic of "we need more Y, learn it" should happen. Not just because of salaries. If transparent salaries force it, then it is a good thing. Not just because of fairness, but because developers often focus on the wrong thing. And because when manager opens it, sometimes it turns out there is obstacle for doing Y that can be overcome with help of manager.

I mean, really. If you valued X in the past and just merely praised people for it and now it is changing to Y, be clear and tell them. It is very unlikely that your ninja coder turns from best to worst overnight just after slight strategy change. If he was so awesome, he will be able to learn new thing fast - unless there is some kind of resentment going on in his head which usually have little to do with strategy.

Non transparent salaries dont prevent people talk, dont prevent resentment either, but you usually end up with humble/shy coders having much lower salaries then overconfident ones. And I seen that humble/shy getting really resentful when he figured it out.
THE OTHERS – ” to Be or Not to Be ” Alien Among Us?
It depends on when the gene normally expresses. Some genetic disorders result in incorrect development of organs, which means that gene therapy alone will never resolve the issue. Organ donation or surgery plus gene therapy might be a possible cure for some such disorders, though. But if a condition just results in producing too much of a hormone or something like that it could be addressed with just gene therapy.
What about the time it takes for interviews? Is it being disrespectful to take up an hour of their time for an interview? What if you do a 2nd interview for another hour? What if you have a 3rd? It's not unusual to have 2 or 3 interviews before hiring. What if you replaced one of those hours with a coding task that should take under 1 hour to complete. Is asking for 1 hour disrespectful to their time? Why is asking for 1 hour of their time to code different than 1 hour of time for interview?
As opposed to the fuchsia netstack written in Go by Google

Why so many netstacks in Go? I would imagine even the tiny GC pauses Go has would be undesirable for a netstack.
so the problem was that the company was crashing, not open salaries.

you sound like a nice person who would have worried about knowing about the pay cuts even if the values were unknown to you. you might even have been more worried thinking it was more.

The German army used captured T-34 tanks, so they probably did not think of it as a bad piece of equipment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-34#German_use_of_T-34s

Also comparing very different tanks in a general manner has its problems: each has its strong and weak points, it is very difficult to say which one of the differences would be of benefit in a given battle.

The Shell gas promo for $.25/gallon sounds good until you realize that (1) you have to install their app, and (2) they charge $.42 more a gallon than Costco.

At least my local 4G/LTE tower finally got fixed.
I has asked this question a while back here [1]. The consensus is game developers don't see making them as a "job"; to them, it's about working on something magnificent, being part of a team they have dreamt about since they were kids. Of course, they burnout few years down the line, only to replaced by a new batch of zealous developers. There's an endless supply of fresh graduates who are fervent about working on an AAA title.

I don't like the implicit assumption that only a person who's passionate about programming (and [nothing:little+1] else) can be a very good programmer.

I own the book "Pragmatic Programmer", a widely respected book about general programming principles. The bit about its authors:

"Andy Hunt is an avid woodworker and musician, but, curiously, he is more in demand as a consultant. He has worked in telecommunications, banking, financial services, and utilities, as well as in more exotic fields, such as medical imaging, graphic arts, and Internet services. (...)"

"Dave Thomas likes to fly single-engine airplanes and pays for his habit by finding elegant solutions to difficult problems, consulting in areas as diverse as aerospace, banking, financial services, telecommunications, travel and transport, and the Internet.(...)"

Isn't tunnel vision focus on programming a bit limiting ? What about a different perspective provided by different experiences and skills ?

A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing - attributed to Archilochus

"(Isaiah) Berlin expands upon this idea to divide writers and thinkers into two categories: hedgehogs, who view the world through the lens of a single defining idea (examples given include Plato, Lucretius, Dante Alighieri, Blaise Pascal, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Henrik Ibsen, Marcel Proust and Fernand Braudel), and foxes, who draw on a wide variety of experiences and for whom the world cannot be boiled down to a single idea (examples given include Herodotus, Aristotle, Desiderius Erasmus, William Shakespeare, Michel de Montaigne, Molière, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Aleksandr Pushkin, Honoré de Balzac, James Joyce and Philip Warren Anderson"
(Wikipedia)

I think modern society and job market places too big an emphasis on hedgehogs. While backend programming is my profession, I feel more of a fox than a hedgehog. It works well for hobbies, but not really for jobs as currently available. For example ladies tend to compliment me I have a nice voice. I also like books, fantasy and science fiction, and prefer short stories to novels. So I can connect the dots and... record some audio books. I look for old short stories no longer covered by copyright, and intend to record them as "audiobooks". For instance about a village fool who became a werewolf. Another example: I like animals, I'm precise, patient and have an analytical mind. Anwer: Origami. Another example: I can't draw much (I really tried with Gimp and some hand drawing... admittedly, without a good teacher), but I'm somehow attracted to visual arts. As mentioned, I'm analytical, and I'm not too bad at math. Answer: Vector graphics, .svg, Inkscape, writing images in vim. It takes some introspection and observation, but you can figure out what new hobby would give you satisfaction. If you have many interests, try to think what they have in common, or how you could possibly connect them.
Most people would not think twice if a potential employer interviewed them for 30-60 minutes and then asked them to do a follow-up interview. It's not that unusual to have 3 interviews before getting hired.

But if you ask them to do a 30-minute coding task, that suddenly becomes a total disrespect of their time.

Clinical use is definitely coming, no argument there. What I am arguing is that most people don't have any medical issues that are worth the risks, expense, and ethical considerations of gene editing. I'd also doubt that will change much in the lifetime of anyone alive today.

I think your experiences are touching on some really interesting points, as the development environment of a game like League of Legends compared to Halo 5 is very different.

I think service-based games aren't just popular because they're profitable, but also that they can be developed more akin to a typical software company.
The concept of salary is interpreted by people in all different ways since always, therefore you won't achieve nothing but grudge and dysfunctional teams on long term, unless pays are really fair and people are really the right ones for implementing such a system.

Some people see their self worth in their job, some in how much they earn, some mixed, some in how much good they do at work, some in having a family, etc. One fixed component is the salary which can't be the lever among people but it can certainly be interpreted as such, therefore should be private. Also, if I am a better negotiator than you are, why should I be perceived in a negative way? "Oh he works less than me, but he earns more". Maybe he is better at selling himself (?).

But it's ok that companies do such experiments, otherwise we would not know the outcome...
Japanese police allegedly protected PM's friend from rape charges
I found the fake reviews surprisingly laugh-out-loud funny. I think it's because it retains the structure, it's not total nonsense because close words are linked properly (like markov chains), but at a higher level it makes no sense, making it absurd in the end. So it sounds like a parody of the original texts it's based on.

Yes, that reasoning doesn't apply to all their products, but both Android and Chrome have a big business value for Google, as they are web clients, and allow Google to shape the web in a significant way. Especially with being in control of both a major website and a browser on desktop & mobile they can push for technologies that serve their websites needs like AMP, SPDY, QUIC, etc. like a Facebook never could.
It helps a lot to think of SAS a as a set of tools, and then recognise what provides equivalent capabilities.

The DATA step follows conventions very similar to awk, though what SAS offers by way of data conversion (especially from mainframe formats) is hard to provide. The fundamental concept of iterating over the input stream is useful to keep in mind.

I've also found that awk is useful for writing SAS programs themselves. I bumped into this dealing with large data dictionaries and trying to make sense of them. Parsing those and generating the corresponding SAS statements, then seeing if the results made sense was far easier than coding by hand. (The dictionary, of course, failed to correspond entirely to the actual datasets, requiring mods, but the dev/test/modify cycle was far faster, and far more repeatable.)

For data storage, an RDBMS backend or SQLite is probably good, though you can also use various structured files (CSV, other delimited, column-formatted, etc.) Columnar + compression buys you much of the advantages of a SAS data set in terms of size.

For the various statistical and graphics capabilities, R, gnuplot, the JS plotting library, and some related bits. I'd really like to see what tools for generating dyamic SVG there are these days, as that's a graphics format that seems exquisitely suited to data-driven rendering.

For advanced quantitative programming: Python or related languages and libraries.

For report generation: these days I'd probably head to a lightweight markup language and Pandoc to create whatever format(s) I wanted. Or you could wire up dynamic Web output with the application engine of your choice.

For application design or creating commandline / back-end tools: whatever tools you prefer, ranging from scripting languages to compiled langauges. It's been a long time since I've worked with SAS, but its Macro and app development language (which I can't even remember the name of now) are both quite crufty.

The key advantage to SAS as I noted in an earlier comment is that many of the tool choices are made for you, in that that's what SAS offers you. You can go outside that set, though back in the day, few shops really seemed to be much interested in that. The problem is that the tool choices are limited, and any additional tools have significant costs.

Going with free/open options liberates you, but also means you've got to litigate the tool-choice battle. That seems to be a problem mostly at shops that continue to use SAS in part -- I don't know if it's sunk-cost fallacy or other dynamics, but there's quite often resistance at both management and developer/analyst levels to going to other tools (or had been in my experience). I found that and other dyanmics sufficiently frustrating that I largely stopped using the tool decades ago, with occasional (and regrettable) relapses.

> Compare the derision and skepticism hurled at would-be video game developers to the praise people working countless hours on pointless "portfolio side projects" on github or whatever get

Ok: one is fun, ~100h spread out over any period you want (e.g. a year: 2h per weekend), completely 100% beholden only to yourself, no strings attached. The other... well, I’ve never worked there, but I’ll quote someone who seems to know: “certainly being exploited, often in ways that violate labor laws.”

Are you honestly comparing what people are describing here to side projects? honestly: what side project have you ever worked on that treated you that way?
Developers are more akin to musicians or artists than a marketing person. Yes, I do expect musicians to practice their instrument and learn new material in their free time, at least a little bit. A musician who _only_ played during paid gigs and never practiced 1 hour outside of the paid jobs, would never learn anything new. They would forever be stuck with their existing repertoire.

Would you hire a musicians who didn't have recordings of their work and wasn't willing to perform an audition? Would you want to hire a musician who didn't practice new things?

The development landscape changes rapidly. Frameworks come and go. If you want to keep up in the industry, you will most likely have to learn a new language or learn a new framework at some point along the way. If you only code during your 9-5 you are forever stuck with your current skill set and will end up like the people in 2017 who only know COBOL and can't do anything else. Your job options will shrivel and you will not be very marketable.
Indian state wields too much power over everything. I guess it's remnant of a socialistic past. Consider this: CBFC is film certification board that can block a movie's release until appropriate cuts are made subject to their whims and fancies. This makes no logical sense. Why should the Govt. interfere in whatever the movie wants to show? The max stipulation should be on what content is appropriate to which age group.

Websites can be blocked by people who have zero clue what they are about. Television programmes can be asked to censor everything from expletives to kissing scenes. (Try seeing Kill Bill with all violent scenes removed). Hell, Karnataka Govt. even tried to cap the price of movie tickets. [1]

The fact that a random litigation can persuade a judge to order to block 1000+ sites is downright scary. I don't see anything changing near future. Politicians (and even judiciary) rarely want to do away with any power they have.

Same for regular expressions. Once you know the syntax, they're pretty easy to understand. It just takes practice.

Don't judge for other people and their priorities. For some of them it IS life. Maybe it shouldn't be but there are plenty of young devs working for Google/Amazon/Startup working too hard on stuff that may be way less rewarding.

Games were life for me but I was paid relatively well and I came from and went back to "industry". Still in "Games" though so a few years at a studio helped me learn some valuable engineering skills and made me a "bonafied" (lol) game dev to most people. I don't claim to be a dev.

A talk on Doors from the perspective of a physical penetration hacker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YYvBLAF4T8
Water, food, clothing, and shelter are all more important to people not dying in the streets than health care, and we don't have government single-payer versions of any of those.

So I agree with the parent: it's not enough to just say that health care is important, therefore it should be single payer. There are too many counter examples for such a simple argument to pass muster. Discussions of health care policy need to start with a detailed and honest accouting of the health care market specifically.

For the end user it's a problem with the ecosystem. Red Hat needs to keep the kernel patched for a very long time and some pieces move way too fast.
You do have a point that they're getting real work experience. But that's where the similarities end. I've never heard stories about health problems, stress, and burnout from side projects. I'm sure it probably happens to some people, but it's almost certainly nowhere near the same rate that it sounds like it happens in the game industry.
I think it has to do with network connections - that is, you need 1000 x86 servers (or whatever) to match the capabilities of a z-series mainframe, which means 1000 times the number of potential points where an attacker can enter your network and thus 1000 times the number of things you have to monitor for break-in attempts.

Or something like that. It really should've been explained better.
Haha nooooo, it's really not that difficult! I really don't think git is a different beast. It's much, much harder to master a programming language or web framework.

Compared to something like Rails, iOS development, or React + Redux + Redux Saga, Git is just a couple of commands and basic concepts. Everything is listed here, and I don't think that's an unreasonable number of commands to know: https://git-scm.com/docs
