You still need to be C++ fluent enough to be able to read other people's code. And it's not like everybody has the same definition of "simple and obvious".

Here is an article that asserts that the ascription of "natural monopoly" to many industries is due to the successful efforts by dominant players in those industries to persuade people (primarily politicians) to grant them legal monopolies, and that their arguments are not to be trusted and often demonstrably wrong. It specifically addresses the industries of electric power, cable TV, and telephones. https://mises.org/library/myth-natural-monopoly
Time management: #1 tool is GTD. Not so much GTD itself, which is for task management. But it's a great start, and leads to other thinkings and evaluations that make you more effective at the things that matter to you.

But a lot of what stop us is not time, but emotions. Especially if you're trying to do creative ventures. And for that, a great read is "the war of art". my favorite quote: "Hitler found it easier to start WW2 than stare at a blank canvas".

Code should not be clever.

Good code is straight forward, carries no surprises and makes the whole task at hand look easy.
As a high-schooler, this was my approach and it really locked in a strong understanding. You can really grok that with 1000 doors, for all intents and purposes, you basically had zero chance of getting it right on the first try, therefore you have basically a 100% chance of being right by switching.
Since the game show stands to lose by you getting the car, it's not an unreasonable assumption that you would only be given the choice to switch had you picked the car in the first place, especially from someone who may know about game theory but may not be an expert on American TV shows.
I'm pretty sure today's spacecraft are very reliable too.
Pretty much this, I'm a good not great programmer, I know this and I accept it however because I hang around the communities of the various languages and projects I'm interested in I get exposed to the great programmers and so I find myself comparing myself to them and the result is unflattering.

Then I remember that I'm dealing with a collective group that represents the top end of the community (self selection pays a part, people who go home and carry on programming with passion are not representative of the average programmer I've worked with).

As an example on friday I took something that used to take 140s to render in the browser (not kidding - it also used 3GB of RAM per request and returned 27MB of 'XML' after I lifted the limit to stop PHP throwing an OOM exception) and made it take under a second (by adding indexes to joined fields, implementing server side pagination, tuning the mysql instance and then finally writing a vue component wrapper over the implementation of the datatables library the system uses).

Literally none of that was advanced nor voodoo, it's something I'd expect any programmer on here to be capable off but there are so many bad programmers who just skate by producing terrible code with no thought put into things at all.

The final kicker was that it now searches three times as many fields including sales lines (on a sales order you'd kind of expect it should have done that to start with).

It’s not really time management, but rather energy management thing.

Every thing that you do is going to leave you with either energy gain or loss. The idea is to either sustain energy level or spend what you have then gain it - just like charging a battery.

Tricky part is doing things that give you energy gain. One thing might be very exhausting in the evening, but give you a lot of energy in the morning. It achanges with setting and context as well (for example after 10 days of constant socializing you might want to be left in solitude for a few days, or after spending week in solitude you might crave for social interaction).

So, a lot of things you’re seeing online are people for which professional socializing is an energy gain. After full day of work (or even during work break) they get an energy boost from sharing, answering and attending conferences.

This isn’t for everyone - though. It might be that for you doing stuff like this is actually energy loss. If you’re expending your energy throughout the day and at the end you need to spend bit more to write a blog post or prepare for the conference you are going to subconsciously push it away from you making an illusion of “not getting enough time of doing it”.

In concrete scenario imagine situation where a person has exactly 10 minutes (of non-allocated) time (let’s say wait for doctor appoinment). One person is going to open a game on their phone, other is going to browse the news, someone else is going to open a laptop and write 5-6 lines of code for the stuff they are building and other is going to browse stackoverflow. Such timeslot isn’t usually planned, but it builds the result from small blocks and (usually) is following "energy gain" or at least not a energy gain.

(Note: even if for someone doing social stuff is constant energy loss there is no reason to fret. It’s not really a requierement: while you aren’t going to be internet famous you can still earn a very decent living without having to take part in professional/non-professional social networks).

Yes, CDS cells are much older than that, and Ge diodes are light sensitive too.
I would claim there is a significant portion of population for whom empirical teaching of CS would be far more kind and efficient than going through the Djisktraist pure theory route.

Automattic (WordPress.com, Gravatar, WooCommerce, etc.) | Backend developer | Remote | https://automattic.com/work-with-us/code-wrangler/

I never thought I would work for 10 years with the same company, but here I am :-) Automattic is the nicest group of people (brings 10x personal happiness), almost no bureaucracy (given it’s 600+ people), just common sense on every level.

On to technical things. We’re looking for more backend developers to work both on APIs, but also on user-facing features. Teams are small, a lot of the code is open-source, backend deploys take few seconds and we do 100+ of them a day, the CI says tests are passing, scaling and performance are daily concerns.

And some not-so-technical. Users are millions and kinda like us, 100% distributed – we meet in person few times per year anywhere in the world, growing stable business, all internal communication is open to anybody, people rarely leave the company.

It's far easier to grasp when you consider that Monty opening one of the other 2 doors makes no difference to his offer (since he'll always open a door with a goat behind it anyway), i.e. he could also say "Do you want to stick with your door, or switch to both these other 2 doors?" without the unnecessary misdirection of opening the goat door beforehand.
One reason is that not everyone has upgraded yet and there are still many Windows servers running as VM without nested virtualization support (which makes Docker+Redis unavailable there as well). Sure one can run Redis in other ways, but it's not always that easy given clients' requirements and restrictions, not to mention introduction of those other technology stacks to dev teams and support teams.
You'd have to check ghci's source itself, but I expect it just hands the bits over to GHC for evaluation and the relevant GHC API (sensibly) requires a name, for which ghci provides "it".

Seems pretty obvious for us who worked with JS before the arrow functions.
Weirdly enough, in the scenario where the host doesn't know which door has the goat and just happens to open the right door, your odds of winning the car if you switch actually does go back to 50-50.

Most Americans are hardly even aware of zoning. It's an obscure section of law. Thus, cultural momentum prevails. And the people who would most want denser housing are the people who would move to an area, and they don't get a vote.

I moved to Munich last year. I can hardly even tell which neighborhoods are affluent or poorer, it's so different from the US.

What I'm saying is that we have entrenched economic segregation in our country, and people like you defend it because "whatever is desirable is acceptable".

Some people only need four to six hours sleep a night. Such people do a great deal more than folks who routinely sleep eight plus hours a night.

Some people have streamlined their life to cut out a lot of time sinks that many people believe are simply not optional. They, too, get more done than average.

Some people would die of boredom if they didn't have tons going on. Their many activities often feed on each other. Their blog posts grow out of other activities.

I guess that you are free to come to Slovakia and read the same archives and chronicles for that small region.

The point is primary, that fertility statistics for whole Slovakia are useless here, because Slovakia is mostly Catholic. And they used to have big families, valued big families and having no or only one child would be a shame and sad for Catholic women. Author does not claim that Slovakia had low fertility, he claims that protestants were different and had culture of small families. So the stats you dug out are irrelevant.

Instead of reasoning about it as a contestant, you should actually play the game with someone, with you as Monty.

Prediction false. And politics have nothing to do with my employment nor my ability to not waste money on garbage so many of my whiny peers do (who then complain about not being able to afford anything).
It's strange, but I think at least some companies find it hard to staff positions, while also at the same time ignoring/rejecting suitable candidates.

Case in point - I'm a generalist who can very credibly claim very significant expertise at two disconnected areas (compilers and distributed systems), plus some startup/ product management expertise. I saw a job listing here for a startup that needed both of these and claimed they're looking for remote work - so, even though I'm not actively looking for a job, I wrote them; the match between my skills and their needs seemed too good to be true.

They wrote back the standard rejection mail - didn't even try to talk to me. I thought that maybe they found someone else, but no, they still advertise the position. I know it sounds arrogant, but there's no chance in hell they can find many better candidates (I doubt that they can find even one, but well, good luck).

Are their recruiters uniquely ignorant? Unlikely. I think many companies do a lousy effort on recruiting, and then wonder why they can't fill the positions. One of the reasons "internal referrals" work so well is that the candidates are at least seriously considered.
I would argue this particular example has more to do with the radix parameter of parseInt being optional and having a complex behavior.

More generally, javascript functions accepting any number of parameters, regardless of those specified in the function declaration, is quite error prone when passing functions around.

I always use anonymous functions or 'bind' to explicitly match the parameters unless all functions involved are curried.

The other reason to avoid passing 'naked' functions around too happily is the behavior of this.

I also find most optimizations to focus on simple, explicit code. Nothing like using the less common, more dynamic features of the language to hit deoptimizations.
"They did not become rich because they had tons of people."

This is completely false.

In North America in particular, the entire economic strategy was built on large scale immigration.

Most nations become rich by 'adding bodies' into a functioning economy - and by nothing else.

---> Why do you think that the US and Canada are so keen on immigration? And why economists want Japan to have immigration? <----

Canada's population 100 years ago was a fraction of what it it is today - do you think it would be 'as rich' with just a few million people? Perhaps on a per-capita basis, but then probably not.

WORKERS = GDP.

So long as they are integrated into a working economy.

I do not like this approach to growth but it's how many nations do it.

Of course - 'adding bodies' into a dysfunctional economy, or where there are no means for those new bodies to add economic activity ... will be bad. Hence - China, India, Africa.

I think we should find better ways to achieve growth - but 'body count' is still the number ONE way that entities around the world try to do it.

Canadian city mayors are all clamouring for more bodies = more tax base = more power.

I agree and disagree with this one. Of course, no one is going to pay money for your game idea, but there are ideas which require an NDA. Those ideas typically take years of development and a person with such an idea would be able to present hundreds of pages of alternate designs and their pros/cons. For example, if I have a design for a 3mm x 1mm mechanism that can actuate a rod by 2mm and I know what kind of power consumption said mechanism will have, that design might be expressible on a single piece of paper, and be worth millions of dollars.

Physics has an aim: to provide a rigorous description of reality on such a way that predictions about future experiments can be made. Physicists found that by altering certain quantities they got rid of the divergences and obtained a theory of remarkable experimental accuracy. That's all that matters.

Fortunately, of course, for our understanding, more people came along soon after to elucidate this mechanism.
