I suspect its not as easy as many people make out.

I was a great C++/OO dev for 10 years before I got bored, starting doing management, business focussed roles and more high level devops style work. After 10 years of that I wanted to move back into pure coding. With great experience should be easy right? Wrong.

I got a mid-level java/python dev job and it was difficult, I was out of touch and everything was different or new. Languages, styles, CI/CD, DI, git, containers, unit testing its a huge amount to learn. After a year I got laid off because I was getting paid like a senior but not keeping up with the grads.

A few years later I'm productive and useful in this new world but I dont really like it. I'm enjoying Scala and functional programming but with so many libraries and tools I feel like everything is so difficult and complicated. It takes a lot of study effort to keep up. Also I'm never sure if its because the applications I work on are badly designed, or I just dont really understand modern design. I have a business specialty which keeps me employable but I miss the old days when things were simpler.

Being "old" at 40+ really isn't so easy - I'm not sure you can ever redeem yourself in the eyes of the industry. Best you can hope for is get a non-tech domain specialty and find a big stable company that values experience and try to keep working on interesting projects. Once you're laid off or fired once its really hard to be the super confident hacker you were at 25.

EDIT - thinking about if you want advice. Get a business specialty or technical niche. Dont get too lazy, if you aren't learning on the job for a few years in a row, change the tech in the project or leave. It should be easy to keep employed but you have to keep working at it. Best career money-wise is to move to management, but its difficult to move back. Dont take the high paying job on a dead end project without a plan to get out.

What's particularly interesting is that Scott specifically says that "the Washington Post has been a leader in investigative journalism exposing Trump’s malfeasance" but anyone who has been following Seth Abramson knows that the Washington Post and the New York Times are still a huge part of the problem in keeping up with the whole Russia investigation.
> Do you mean that it’s more reliable to discern the truth from ads than when the bias isn’t clear?

No, I think that it's easier to reject (overt) ads manipulation because their bias is clear, compared to forms of manipulation where the goal of the manipulation is less clear; this doesn't help you get to the truth (except in some cases where that is revealed by what even the ad is forced to admit against its interest, or hinted at by what it avoids) from the ad content itself.
just started taking an online intro course to deep learning. really hoping that i'm not simply wasting my time and that if i actually want to one day pursue it, that i won't need to have a PHD in this field
And one of these people isn't even mentioned in the story. You're bringing up Anita Sarkeesian into a discussion where she's not involved because you think your ad hominems are more likely to succeed on her and you have no argument on the merits.

> Perhaps you should make an open minded attempt to understand why there are millions of successful, rational, adjusted people who feel as I do, but only in secret.

Because bigotry is rational. If you can keep out 50% of the competition, why wouldn't you?

Millions of successful, rational, adjusted (relative to their culture) people were huge fans of slavery in the US. The free population of the Confederacy had plenty to lose and little to gain - at least within the timespan of slaveholders' lives, the necessary economic changes weren't going to happen immediately - from slavery becoming illegal. Obviously they were willing to give their lives to prevent that. The fact that certain immoral things are rational, popular, socially accepted, or even inspiring of self-sacrifice isn't really surprising to me. (And supporting casual and pervasive sexism is much, much milder than supporting slavery, so it's even less surprising to see it having lots of support.)
I was about to answer roughly the same.

If someone could step up and "take my job", it would free me up for other things. I would be grad to be able to rely on a good "software engineer" model to build the next generation tooling.

All in all, more performance, more efficiency, improving our tools bottom-up, going for the low hanging fruit first, to free us from the less interesting tasks. Isn't it what we always do and always did?

If a task is repetitive or deterministic, I always feel like I could be spending my time on something more interesting, not on the implementation details. The problem is that I have to take care of it myself, if I want it to be done properly (and that's true as well in other fields than software, of course).

Disclaimer: still a student (although nearly graduated). I won't bite you for having more experience than I do :) And the phrasing here might be a little provocative on purpose, don't take it too hard please.
Wow. Thanks... That will probably help fill in a lot of missing blanks for me. (Actually, I'm not even sure I want to read it... Still a little bitter).
Yes. It's pretty much always a sign that they don't understand engineering and it's more like a Kindergarten that discovered putting together code constructs makes lights blink.
Especially in a startup, but obviously in established companies as well, this will give you an idea of where it’s all headed.

If you’re in a place that’s reliant on good code (and good execution strategies) to exist, and the other people don’t or won’t or can’t really grasp the magnitude of what good code means to the company - leave.
Indeed, though I am worried that advertisers and platforms will take a long time to find equilibrium again (and minor players may be priced out of the market).

When the first ad exodus from YouTube happened, a lot of us thought that it would take them about 6 months to renegotiate and things would be back to normal. Well, it did not happen and we have only seen more exits since.
It depends where you look, and what you consider to be unethical.

One example is the game Battlefield 4: Dice/EA does not release the server software, so in order to host a server, you must rent one.

This means that only those who have a private deal with the company can host servers, leaving people in places like west Africa underserved (no servers under 100-200ms), and giving those who pay to host servers unneccessary authority over players (arbitrary rules, reserved slots, etc.).

This creates an artifical market based on copyright, and allows Dice/EA to get more money by abusing their customers.

> That doesn't really make sense: consumers value both price and ethics, and are often willing to pay a premium to companies they perceive as more ethical.

Perception is not reality. One problem is that people have been trained via propaganda to respect copyright abuses like DRM.

Because there are enough people respecting these abuses, I am forced to accept the abuses as status-quo.

There are plenty of other cases where a company constrains their customers liberty in order to coerce them into paying more. It's a problem that is exasperated by blind anti-regulation policies and setting monetary increase as the ultimate goal and ethos.
So will these phones ever support CDMA or is that just going to be ignored? I wonder how they're doing in the US specifically considering their phones can't be used on two of the larger carriers in the country.
Soon, there will be CPU blockers to counter this; site sees you have an ad blocker so it uses your CPU; browser's counter-measure notices CPU being used for crypto-currency mining or whatever else, and throttles those threads down to a trickle.

"We have noticed that processing in your browser is suspiciously slow; are you using a CPU blocker? ..."
Yep I was a programmer at a university until 2002 when I had driven my own career into the ditch along with my personal life. I had to start over from a lower position after gathering my wits about me, and work my way back up.

The hardest part was getting that second chance, if you had a more senior job and you're applying for a lower one it's obvious to people there's something going on there. Your best bet is going to be honesty, and convey very clearly you've learned from your mistakes and that you want to improve, your open to feedback, etc.

Good luck.
> Ancient people almost universally suffered from severe childhood trauma and abuse.

I certainly think it was exactly opposite. In todays world we don't even know our neighbors names, not to mention what's happening in their children's bedrooms. And if anyone gets in trouble, its after long court battles with Child Protection Services, etc.

I have a hard time believing that back in the ancient times of tribes, clans and communities gathering together forming micro-societies, I doubt you would go on for too long without punishment of some sort, had other tribe members knew you are abusing your child(ren).
[My previous comment confused Zenefits with Zenpayroll, and i've removed it to avoid further confusing the issue]
Here's my take on it: From the way it is described, 70s Atari allowed both men and women to make passes at each other. For some reason it seems to have mostly worked in that people respected a simple 'no' - there were enough ways out for everyone to keep face. Meanwhile today it appears to me that this courtesy is only allowed one-way today (i.e. for men it's generally verboten outside the accepted dating arena). The egregious offenders like Weinstein are still out there and they seem to find ways to get around these issues, but for everyone who isn't in a completely lob-sided power relationship or who has normal levels of decency this is out of the question. My point is: By not allowing it even in a respectful way, men get fearful of women in the workplace and would often rather just surround themselves with other men in order to not be exposed to any risks of being accused. Since men still hold most power positions this could have a chilling effect on women moving up. My hypothesis (and I do acknowledge here that it's only a hypothesis, but I would love to get some evidence either way) is that the two issues are related: Free love coupled with respect could be a strong enhancer of mobility in hierarchies, both for women in male dominated and men in female dominated fields.
I probably do, but there's at least 1 Googler per thread it seems or 1 top school (at worst public ivy grad) talking about their tough coursework.
You're referring to the Russian twitter trolls? Seriously? This is what all the fuss is about? FUD spreading on the internet?

I’m guessing that it’s desirable to report linear deviations to the users (seconds per day), even if the deviations are non-linear.
> Sure, we can make others do compositor's job, so compositor doesn't have to, but that's pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

The difference is that the compositor doesn't necessarely have a toolkit for buttons and stuff like that at hand, while (most) applications already have. Also applications which actually use the space (i.e. GtkHeaderBar, Chrome, stuff like that) need to implement those window management functions anyway, so it would be duplicated work. Also: Theme development is easier if you don't have to write a window manager theme, too.

Yes, CSD result in other duplicated work: Qt vs. Gtk+. And they come with lots of other disadvantages, e.g. as you've pointed out that it's hard to integrate Gtk+'s main loop and the difference of appearance between different toolkits.

Regarding arrogance: You said that your solution is "proper". You called the pro-CSD folks "stubborn" and "irresponsible". You are the one dismissing all pro-CSD arguments.

> Why don't we do kernel's job in every userspace app then, say, for filesystems? This will make kernel devs' life easier after all.

Have you heard of FUSE?
Well after @DamonHD posted in this thread saying he had one of these. I got the bright idea to just google it. (I know, I know).

Turns out, this can really happen!

https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/a-bug-inside-my-moni...

I guess it actually was/is a REAL bug.

EDIT AGAIN...

Ok, maybe its NOT a real bug? What the hell is going on. Look at these videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIoAedUsSt4&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ0OFvHFS6E&feature=youtu.be

This user is saying that the "bug" appeared on 2 different monitors. If it was an actual bug, it would have to have gone OUT of one monitor, and INTO the other.

... What.
Wait... your neighbor had an ethernet port in their apartment that was shared in your apartment? That's not a home network, that's more like a MAN (or Metro Ethernet or something). That ethernet port in your apartment should 100% be treated as hostile if that's the case.
The USD is a currency. Due to its stability, it is also used as a store of value by foreign countries.

Oil is pegged to the dollar. The price of oil is relevant because of its effects on prices, not the dollar.
That title probably counts as both misleading and linkbait, so in accordance with https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html we changed it to language from the subtitle.
I used it on two kids. They now both score on standardized tests as reading far in advance of their grade level. This leads to difficulties wherein much of the material available at their level of technical proficiency does not match with either their maturity levels or with their specific interests.

Neither of them actually finished all 100 lessons. At some point, they both preferred moving on to actual books rather than doing the remaining lessons. So a little boring for the student as well, apparently.
Why bother submitting a 1969 when Knuth is still alive and kicking.

(Does this have to be someone who specifically does software development, or any old computer scientist that likely still codes something here and there?)
I played video games 24/7 as a young child, and while I played sports in high school and college as well, my main love was always, always video gaming, coding, and using computers until 5 AM.

I am a parent now and I get restricting screen time for the sake of planning/scheduling, but not out of some utopian ideal. That never existed. Not when we were young and not when anyone else was, either. They just restricted reading the newspaper and books back then.
Thanks—year added to title above.
Vue.js is growing, so I created a 5k+ word guide and a video course. It's free
The Spanish Christmas Lottery (El Gordo de Navidad) has a curious system: rather than a different number per ticket, there are about 170 tickets with each number (it varies each year), and so the first prize is divided by them, which gives about 4M€ to each. But furthermore, each ticket is expensive (200€), so they sell tenths of each ticket individually.

These tickets are also usually distributed sequentially, not randomly, so you end up with cases like a single village this December in which 50 winning tickets (=200M€) were sold to hundreds of persons (as tenths).

Of course, it must be painful to live in the area and not have bought a ticket...
Well-run media outlets like the Washington Post face a difficult challenge: how to explain science to the general public, when both most editors and journalists and a majority of the general public are extremely poorly educated in the ways and language of science.

This broad lack of education opens the door for people like Mr. Wadhwa to write articles about subjects like quantum computing that are wrong in many important ways, rankling people who actually know a lot about the subject, like Aaronson.

Every article in a mainstream publication I've read on a technical subject about which I actually know something is wrong in important ways.

I doubt there's a short-term solution for this problem.
It's pretty much the only Electron app I don't totally hate. I've grown to like it after using it at work.
Absolutely.

The only reason I have left to pirate a movie that is available to me on netflix is to get more stable playback, the ability to play slightly faster, and the ability to use Smooth Video Project.

It's obvious that DRM-based platforms have driven TV manufacturers to implement expensive frame-interpolation into their displays, when it can be done much more efficiently at the decoder level, on machines where it makes sense to already have a fast GPU. This is the thing I find most frustrating with this situation.
I guess you might have had one phone OS that was trying to do too much for its hardware and another that did too little.
Meanwhile, I still can't get access to a read only API for my own accounts (Commonwealth Bank).
Some apps use encryption, which sounds great, but we have "decryption software"!

I understand that there are threats to badly implemented sites, and that even with well implemented sites you can snoop on which domains are being visited, and that there are 0days that some people are walking around with. But this seems like a pop tech piece that doesn't have things in proper perspective. I mean, it's probably good advice but for the wrong reasons.
Paper != paperwork. I filled out one and only one form. It's an online bank so then of course, you receive some of the stuff in the mail, I don't see how it could be different. I've used banks in five different countries, went through all kinds of identification and second factors that exist on the market, and in Germany today, I don't really see how it could be easier. But please enlighten me.
> That people can say that with a straight face indicated to me that we have a real problem in teacher education [0]. The standards you link may be different than what is addressed in lesson plans that have been handed down with only incremental modification for decades, but nothing about them seems to difficult to develop a year-long lesson plan that incorporates then.

The problem isn't translating a single standard into a single lesson or set of lessons, it's putting three sets of reading standards, a writing standard, a speaking & listening standard, and a language standard into a coherent, interesting curriculum. It's not impossible, but it's a lot to expect from, say, a small group of first grade teachers.

I find the notion of age discrimination at 30+ to be simply ludicrous. I’ve been at multiple top tech companies, and the very common age ranges were mid-20s to (estimated) late-40s.
As unnerving as it might seem, let's not forget that Facebook has a HUGE database of faces and relationship with those faces.
Even though is not active, Facebook AI could easily auto-tag me in every photo ever posted by anyone, friend or foe.
Therefore, facebook could also make a connection between your "real me" and your "other secret me", purely on a set of photos, tags and profile pictures
Some fair points but if like most people you can spend only so much, getting more books for that same much is useful: if you have 15 books of a same subject matter you can rather easily compare them with a quick skim and devote significant effort only to the best ones, or pick only the best parts from each.
Otherwise you can easily end up spending weeks on what only when you'll have gained more experience you'll realize was a worthless crappy book.

Even if you're careful in checking the reviews before buying, a lot of technical books have only few, questionable ones, and sometimes there are remarkable books behind them nonetheless!
Considering the Qualcomm monopoly on CDMA patents, why should they?

CDMA is only used in a single country, one where Android is massively underrepresented, and it binds you to a single SoC vendor.
We're building a consent framework API so our customers can consent for personal data use. Data is then cleaned and transformed (ETL) from personally identifiable to pseudo-anonymised. The data is also separated into two separate encrypted storages for anonymous and pseudo-anonymised data for generalisation and separation. Random (important) hashed identifiers are created and put into a metadata service which is used as a lookup-table. If right to be forgotten is invoked, the data is disassociated from the pseudo-anonymised and personally identifiable data thus making it anonymous.

Important is also how you handle data analytics and this is why we're deploying high restrictions on raw data. Analytics will only be able to be done through an analytics service which can give the employees access to only certain parts of the data which is approved for the use-case. We're using Apache Sentry for fine grained role based authorisation to data and metadata and a directory services for user auth.

Things we've learned:

* Minimise data usage

* Don't use personally identifiable data

* You will need to be able to prove consent when it comes to data usage and it cannot be consent by default, it has to be opt-in

* Log all data access so that use cases can be proved. This needs to be evaluated and audited

* Encrypt in transit and at rest

* Centralise mapping for all data
I never understood why they require you to release your name and picture.

These are just rather generic examples of computationally-expensive fields of study.
Agreed. I'm always weary of clicking on a Facebook video because I don't want a history of that going on my wall or some other kind of trail. I don't want all the baggage that comes with Facebook.

And a small 10s commercial on a YouTube video is a small price to put up with in comparison to the rest of the shit that comes with being in the Facebook ecosystem.

Only reason I still have an account is to be in touch with some high school friends and that's something I barely do these days.
