> The lack of annual leave

If you're coming over to work in a knowledge field like tech that's less of an issue, pretty much all of those jobs have decent levels of vacation. This year (my 4th year at the company) I have 31 days off (26 base + 5 rolled over from last year) not counting bank holidays and that's going up again when I hit 5 years.

The portrait of the US as a PTO-less hellscape is very true for retail/sales/blue collar workers but the situation is better in many fields.

>> What unifies them simply is the technical language used to describe their philosophy, and define their own ideas

Nearly all religions use the same technical language to spread their ideas. Islam, Hinduism,Sikhism, Christianity -- all of them -- talk about God, meaning of life , yada yada yada. Does that make them closer and their philosophical differences trivial?

You had begun your argument by saying that the idea of Hinduism doesn't exist . Now you are claiming all religions are closer than they are separate. You are changing the subject.

Though I would agree that most adherents of any religion would not like their language to be used for selling Crypto hokum. If these guys had called themselves "Gospel protocol", almost everyone would see through them.

ReCAPTCHA always asks me to point out cars, street signs, and bridges. If someone can't do that, the dealer maybe shouldn't sell that person a car.

Still seems a bit odd to have the forms that the dealer needs the buyer to sign sufficiently exposed that they need captcha protection though.
I once ordered 8 items, including Tide detergent, and they were all packaged in a single large box, not individually packaged in any way. Multiple items were smashed, the detergent was punctured, and everything was covered in small amounts of detergent.

I got a $100+ refund for all 8 items and they didn't want any of the items back.

Probably counts against my account tally.
Well, modern hybrid commercial laying hens lay an egg every day from when they come into lay for about a year, then it goes to one every other day, and so they get culled by farmers. Their laying is also extended by artificial light, otherwise they won't lay during the very shortest days in the winter.

Pedigree hens lay about once every other day, and can live up to eight years.

It is much more than that - just as an example I can give the so called "war on drugs". This is an entire industry built on corruption, lies and modern slavery and people are being daily brainwashed in the licensed media so that it can keep going.
Turbo Vision (and the entire TP6 package) was an amazing environment. I think TurboVision in particular was helped by the fact it was Borland's productized version of the framework they used for the IDE itself.

As a point of contrast, Microsoft shipped a similar sort of TUI framework with its Microsoft BASIC 'Professional Development System'. The PDS was Microsoft's original BASIC compiler (BASCOM) that'd had been integrated with the QuickBASIC (4.5?) IDE. In addition to the compiler, the PDS had direct ISAM support and a few other higher end features targeted at people writing enterprise line of business apps.

The TUI framework was their attempt to allow developers using the PDS to write applications in the same visual style as the IDE itself. However, due to the fact that the underlying BASIC language had neither objects nor function pointers, there was no way to implement any sort of callback model in the API. The net result was a framework that required huge amounts of boilerplate code to get anything done and was virtually impossible to use. So, while TurboVision was a bit harder to wrap your head around, it at least had the benefit of being actually commercially useful once you did.

This is a big part of why I tend to strongly prefer development tools that are actually used by their developers. The incentives are aligned.
The reason for this delay in getting citizenship is an effort to promote diversity among immigrants to the US. No single country can get more than 5% of the permanent resident visas in any given year.

If this wasn't done, the vast majority of immigrants to the US would be from China and India at the expense of other countries.
A couple of years ago I heard that one should press Shift/Ctrl/Alt using one hand and other key(s) of the combination using the other hand. At first, it was awkward. I had felt that I was soooo slow. But after a week or two I got used to it. Now I can't even imagine going back to using just one hand for the combos and for sure the stress on my wrists is lower.

I've had RSI 20 years ago for about 1 year. At the time, my life basically revolved around two activities, both known to have an impact on RSI (and more specifically, CTS): programming / surfing the Web, and playing the bass.

Cold temp, as in the OP, was probably one of the issues. It went away, and didn't reappear since, by using open glove when typing / playing the bass, and doing some hands / wrist stretches before / during work and practice.
Can you expand on that? It's contrary to every example I've heard of.
I really can't recommend picking two languages at once. Learning one new language often involves having to adapt to a significant number of new idioms that can really stress the mind - I've never been successful at diving deep into two languages at the same time. Far better to pick one language and really focus on it for 6-12 months. Then, at the end of that time, think about whether you want to work on it for another 6-12 months or whether you want to learn something else. Sometimes the language just won't take early on, and it's fine to pick something else then too.

I did a few things to stop my RSI pain:

1) Use an alt keyboard layout. Use colemac. It's easier to learn than dvorak and decreases finger travel at the keyboard

2) Stop using a mouse. I used a trackball for a while but it has its own issues. I use a cheap wacom bamboo tablet now. It's far and above more ergonomic than any other device I've used as a pointer.

3) Use a kinesis advantage. Blank keycaps for style points.

4) Use your left hand. I use the wacom bamboo tablet with my left hand (I'm right handed.) This has had amazing results for me personally with the wacom because my left wrist does not bent/turn at all - I move entirely from my elbow primarily because I'm not that dextrous with my left hand.

I did them in that order but I'd recommend swapping the keyboard and mouse first, as they have the biggest bang for the buck in terms of ergonomics. The alt keyboard layout is marginal. Left hand was big for me personally.

All of these items take some time and effort, in particular learning another keyboard layout. And the kinesis also has a relatively steep learning curve relative to other keyboards. Don't do it all at once - it's a multi year journey but hey - no more hand pain! I still use a regular tenkeyless mechanical keyboard and mouse at home in the studio, and obviously carry a laptop for work, but my use of these is fairly infrequent relative to the 40+ hours a week at my desk at work.
I'm not actually extolling their virtues as a company, just pointing out a case where a set of values led to an action that would otherwise have not happened, and which actually led to a long term benefit.

Does every/any company adhere consistently to that? Of course not; companies are made of fallible humans.

But how do you -ever- bind a group of people together to pull in the same direction, -especially- when it's at the expense of short term gains, for unclear long term gains? By creating a guide, a set of principles. That's what a mission/values/etc statement is supposed to be. Not just marketing bullshit, but something that helps determine what action to take. "We're gonna be the best" isn't useful, "We're going to prioritize X" is; it's a guiding star to recalibrate against. Yes, it takes someone to point out when you drift, and corrective action to be taken, but without it, you have no hope whatsoever of staying on a given course.
Have you considered Europe? Legal minimum in the EU is 28 including public holidays, but only my first job and my university industrial experience year were that low, and even then they added an extra day to your annual allowance for every year you worked there. Most are 24-26, and I’ve seen one place in Cambridge that offered 25 +/- 5 as standard flexibility, buying unused holiday or selling more holiday as you needed it.
Well, personally, I could set up a few cheap servers in my office and take advantage of my gigabit internet up/down while I'm bootstrapping and then get a colo. The point being that the main capital today is intellectual not physical.
This, and reliability.

Clean Code is a great book if anyone is interested in commenting guides.
They appear to be using the new code in Windows too.

I suspect that it's now a lot faster to do updates and new features because they've rewritten using modern techniques rather than a mish-mash of code accumulated over the last 35! years.
While at Texas Instruments, around 1976, I was in the group trying to move the company to use a more modern programming language. I had learned Pascal while in grad school by studying Wirth’s compiler source so I was happy to be in this department. We had built a commercial, extended, Pascal that ran on the company’s own hardware, microprocessors though minicomputers.

The goal was to move the COBOL, Fortran, JOVIAL, and assembly language programmers in the company to Pascal. My department built the compiler and because I had taught programming in grad school I ended up being one of the evangelists that taught innumerable one week crash courses to the company’s engineers, business programmers, and software people. It was actually a really fun job and I met a large number of people that worked in the company’s various branches.

I discovered that there is no better way to learn every facet of something than to teach it, more than once, to grumpy students sceptical of the new fangled concepts.

A couple years later I was back in grad school again, still programming in Pascal. It was interesting to realize that most fellow PhD students that go straight through aren’t really good programmers and don’t understand software engineering. (This was a long time ago so it’s probably very different now. CS students own their own computers and are able to program much more than we could.)

I remember Pascal fondly like some friends remember their first car. Like cars though, the new languages are really much better (safer, faster, more reliable, etc).
The comment is more a symptom than a cause of problems. If useless comments are added, they’re often an excuse for lazy code, in that it allows a way to say I can’t be bothered to write this better, I’ll just add a comment instead.

Regarding time saving, I seriously doubt that code quality is proportional to time spent typing. Instead of typing two things I would prefer the author spent more time thinking and typing just one thing.

That is indeed powerful, and goes to show how completely broken the housing situation in the UK is.

It also goes to show how the advice from people like Mr. Money Mustache [0] actually works in the US. Even without large salary increases, the US engineer in your example could realistically pay off their $150-200k mortgage in <10 years by living reasonably frugally, and then get to work on building a hefty retirement fund.

If they did get salary increases and/or had a partner earning money too, they could do it much faster.

Am I missing some hidden cost, or is this actually quite common?

> it gradually slides into part time work.

I would reword it as "the remote worker is getting more productive". As long as the measured outcome (which I recommend keeping track of) remains constant, invested hours don't matter that much.

Of course, if you repeatedly ask to the employer "is it OK to work less hours", he will hesitate. Just don't ask, while at the same time ensure you deliver constant meaningful work and document that activity.

Personally I'm serious about crafting meaningful git commits and logging my daily activity.

Also important to be willing to work a longer day when you've wasted time in improductive situations (e.g. discarded code, silly bug hunts). Employer shouldn't necessarily pay for our blunders (which is why sometimes daily rate is more 'honest' than hourly).

Also note that I specifically point that you cannot just sit 3 consecutive hours and disappear the rest of the day. I doubt many can do focused high-quality work without periods of rest. Also important to interact with the team.
Your point on stabilising muscles is on point.

This is why pistol squats are worth more than just a body weight * x two-legged squat. This is why yoga is valuable for more than just flexibility.

Isolation of a muscle is all great and can make you look strong, but your body is actually a non-trivial network of muscles distributed across your entire body.

Unless your aim is to lift a big number or look big in a specific way, a gymnasts are a better proxy for balanced strength and they rarely do more than BWEs.

Personally, I do love a good old fashioned barbell squat though...
They are producing a lot of things. I use a lot of them personally. Just love YouTube TV. It is not just a lot cheaper but a far better user experience.

Have a Pixel Book and with Google "producing" GNU/Linux support it is ideal for me.

Have a Pixel 2 XL which I just love. Best smart phone I have ever owned and barely carry my iPhone any longer.

We have Google Homes throughout our house that they produced.

But lots of tech. K8s, TensorFlow, Gvisor been playing with.

But the biggest thing for me personally is the Google research papers. It is just amazing what Google shares and I really appreciate how much they give back and how they are willing to share their secrets.

I am shocked they decided to basically share Borg to the world but more power to them. We just never had a tech company as generous as Google. I am old and been in tech for almost 40 years.

Only company I can think of that would be even close is Bell Labs. But no where near the scale of what Google gives away.

Can we please shortcut this discussion ? Yes, if EVERY state, including Russia, China, Japan, France, UK, India, Pakistan, North Korea ... verifiably killed it's nuke program, then we can talk. Until then:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium

If you don't participate in the Nash equilibrium, ie. you get out, the results are not pretty. If the US stops making bombs, the result is that it has to give in to any demand by any party with a credible nuclear threat, and so will European countries under the "US umbrella".

We know for Russia what those demands will be, because they've made that very clear. Full and total political control of all of Europe. The entire European population living under oppression, paying unreasonable taxes to Moscow. Or war, of course, with Nuclear bombs falling on European capitals.

We know what China's demands will be, because again they've made that perfectly clear. No more Korea, no more Taiwan, and brutal oppression to make that a reality. Same with half of South Asia, and Australia.

And just in case you're pulling the "We are in America and not responsible" line, remember that this will of course cause an end to the post-WWII environment. No more non-American cars. No more iPads or iPhones.

That's what your "oh let's just not build missiles" does.

You might as well object that the fact that nature's demand that we eat food is immoral (I would even say that it is) and stop eating. The only result of that protest will be your death.
I couldn't agree more. This is also the reason some programming languages eventually write their compiler in their own language. The phrase 'eating your own dog food' often gets used to describe the process.

Strongly agree. I would take "any real web project" a bit farther & argue it's only for the time being. While WebAssembly won't kill JavaScript it is slowly creating a world where you can pick a different language if you want for front end web development. Monopolies are bad & it'll be great when this one no longer exists, for JS devs & everyone.
Having kids makes people miserable, new study confirms (2015)
I understand the diversity and the huge numbers India/China have, but shouldn't it be based on merit too? It's similar to hiring, everyone wants a diverse team, yet half the engineers are Asians/Indians. It's because there are more people who go to school from those ethnicities.

By displaying the diversity card, you are just keeping people who has high paying jobs worrying about their status all the time, it's not good for them or the economy they are supporting.
Even continuous functions are replaced with symbols that are finite and countable. They are manipulated with a set of countable operations and a finite set of steps.

Regulations exist so that entrenched players can use the lethal force of government to block new challengers. Never quite as blunt as I put it, but that is the threat backing all the actual outcomes.

And the overall solution is to allow them to fail next time. Don't fix it, let it crash and burn. Stop socializing the losses since the profits were privatized.
