I've been seeing this trend for a few years, but it was only in the last year that I said to myself that enough was enough.

Over the last ten years it has gone from no overtime to "Can you do a wee bit of overtime?", then "You are working this weekend" to not even asking me and just expecting me to be in the office working late.

It came to a head last August when I was at a big-4 consultancy. The usual email about ordering dinner went around, that was code for we are all working late tonight. I said "Sorry, I don't need any I'm off home". Within a minute the project manager was at my desk saying "Well, we clearly have a problem and you need to fix it now." They were always so careful to not actually say the word overtime, it was all code such as asking us what we wanted for dinner or telling us that the security man would be locking up late and the like.

That was the point when I knew that I had to change things.

The worst thing was that I had told that company I could not work late as my wife worked evenings and we have kids. I got a note added to my contract acknowledging this, but they wouldn't honour it. They even went as far as suggesting that I hire a babysitter or ask my wife to give up her clients. They were oblivious to the fact that I would rather be with my children than earning €100k.

I should have done it sooner. About five years ago I was a company that claimed to be family friendly, but was anything but. During my annual review I was marked down for not "Giving Time to the Company" basically not doing overtime. I said that expecting me to give away my skills for free was unprofessional. I was told that I was unprofessional for even thinking that. That is when I should have taken the plunge to go it alone, but I held out hoping for a better employer.
That's not necessarily true. There are plenty of brilliant engineers who don't have special pedigree or flashy work history so they appear average and it's only when you start working with them that you realize that they're actually brilliant.

These people have a hard time because they might have started programming from a young age and have been learning and refining their skill nonstop for over a decade but they never got a lucky break in their careers.

After 15 years IT I see that managing bad bosses makes sense. Bad bosses, with their bad ideas, are usually fired or resign at some stage, the good ones stay.
I don't know what either of those are but it would be good for the world if everybody here devotes as much time as possible investigating this.
The reference is presumably to Intel's use of Minix in its CPUs - see, e.g., https://www.zdnet.com/article/minix-intels-hidden-in-chip-op... - as an example of a place where a multi-user OS (that can compile itself...) might be used for what might seem like an embedded-type application.

Bear in mind, we're talking about the future past, and probably a particularly American one. Before cyberpunk and dystopia in science fiction became more common, certain premises like the value of centralized authority, militarism, colonialist ideals and even eugenics were often taken for granted (depending on the author.)
Um, no. Past generations didn't have sneakers, t-shirts, jeans, or video games, and social security is at an all-time low (at least in the US).

Dads in the past were remarkably shitty and it isn't really even clear why.
So you have no idea if this alleged documentation even exist? But you still felt you needed to assert that those "not actual harassment" cases (e.g. women interpreting "lack of praise" as harassment etc.) do exist, and we need to be concerned about them.

Disney wants to open up Marvel themed parks (gates)both at Disney Land and at Disney World. Disney Land (in California) is severely space restricted, so it may end up only being a "land" (or subsection) of the existing California adventures park.

> Personally, I think we'd all be a lot better off if we adopted open and polyamorous relationships in a large way. They're better for resource-sharing and avoid the problem with thinking that your partner has to satisfy you in every way.

I agree entirely with this, but just as civil rights and legalizing recreational drugs took forever (and is still ongoing), it's going to be decades of effort to dismantle the societal expectations of marriage while still enabling the benefits that come/came along with traditional marriage (legal, financial rights).

Relationships are hard enough with just two people, adding more people doesn't make it easier, so you have to provide resources to help cultivate that stability society wants to express (insert diatribe about lacking mental health funding here).

$25 for 12 minutes from one place in the loop to O'Hare

I also have a Civic with the same feature. The thing is, while LKAS (Line keep assist system) is capable of basically driving the car, as soon as it does not sense driver's input on the wheel it will show warnings, and after some time disengage, so you are forced to use it as intended—an assist, not as autopilot.

Adaptive cruise control is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Mine will not work in go-stop-go mode (only versions with CVT transmission have this), but even without that it is very helpful.

I have a 2015 Tesla S 70D, so Autopilot 1. I use Autosteer every time I use the car but, of course, not all the time. The way I feel is that together the car and I drive better than either of us can alone. Most of the time the car will alert me to take over long before a problem occurs. Also I will deliberately take control when I see that the car will have difficulty because, for instance, the lane markings have disappeared or there is an oncoming vehicle that is straying close to the centre line. The alerts are unmistakable and both audible and visual and override the entertainment system. Of course on a winding country road one must be more attentive than on a straight, empty, motorway, but that is the case even without Autosteer. I have set the car to maintain the largest separation between it and the car in front which corresponds to about three seconds and to give the earliest warning of collision which means that it quite frequently alerts me and starts braking.

> if u were not in full control from before in a few seconds. It would take that long to even fully understand what is really happening.

But I am paying attention so taking control is really no different and less difficult than what happens to you in a normal car when you have been driving down an empty straight road just lightly holding the steering wheel and a deer or child runs out in front of you.

>If you are diagnosed with this disease, you have it for life until hopefully one day there is a cure.

Technically you can be cured of the disorder if it is well-managed.

Being neuroatypical is only a disorder if it causes distress or malfunction. If your life is good, you don't have a disorder.

Yes you are correct though that there is no cure for being neuroatypical though.
Great answer. You should post that on a blog if you have one.

This was the best part if you want to expand on it in a longer post: "You should worry about it when you want to do something faster than you are already or want to do more things at once. Maybe someone's framework/service done it for you maybe not.

For a web api, the workload _usually_ looks like: {database call} -> {do some work} -> {maybe more calls} -> {more local work} -> {done}.

In the python/node/ruby world where you have mostly single process workers. You get some parallelism by doing work locally while the database call is made asynchronously. If you want to handle more requests on a host you'll just run more processes and load balance across the front (nginx, gunicorn, etc). In languages with threads you usually do that INSIDE your program. A single process load balances across worker threads internally.

At first blush, multiple threads are pretty similar to just running multiple programs. It gets more complicated when you start talking about how you want to communicate between them or share resources across them."
Can you relocate for six months to a year to Ireland? The market there is absolutely nuts. I've been hired (a couple of years ago) as a Python contractor for 450 euros a day (~300 after taxes), after expressly telling them I don't know Python. ("Are you willing to learn?" "Sure."

I learned of this issue recently when someone corrected me on StackOverflow about using ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute, which leaks memory, and pointed me to exec_query instead.[1] Here that behavior is why ActiveRecord can't lazy-allocate a result set.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, true, but the majority of the beholders want a table to actually look like a table. If you give me pen and paper, I'm not going to draw weird half lines around the table, I'm going to draw the table first, line fully drawn everywhere and then add the content.
I think my point is that you can look at friend-closeness as a spectrum, and there will naturally be more people on the less close end, and very few in the very close end. But to jump from that insight, to a slogan like "most of your friends, aren't" is puritanism.

Yes, it's important to be able to gauge the degree of closeness accurately (at least not be very wrong about someone being a close friend), but that's a bit of a different concern, imo.

>> seems like a great way to convince yourself that you're an unlikeable person with no friends

> I have no idea at all how you arrive here. :)

Having many friends is generally considered important for general wellbeing, and is a social success-criterion. If you're telling yourself that all those people who enjoy being around you and that you enjoy being around (even if they might probably not be there for you in a deep crisis) aren't friends, that they're somehow fake, it's easy to get lost. At the very least, it's easy to rationalise not spending time with them. And you'll certainly never have a chance to convert any of them to "real" friends.

I've hacked away on projects over nights and weekends, hoping that one of them would be my ticket to a self-led lifestyle, but with no success. Then I landed a contracting client, and quit my job to commit fully to the client. I took the chance! Six months later, I was fairly burnt out on working alone with this client. In retrospect, I wish I had kept the client and tried to grow the business, even if reality wasn't as rosy as I had hoped.

Since then I've tried to find more clients and not had much success, after taking a job and then quitting again. Looks like I may end up back in the corporate world soon enough.

So- no regrets from this attempt to find freedom, even though it's leading me back to where I started. I will say it's become clear to me that our socioeconomic system is not set up to support people becoming more free... quite the opposite.

Maybe if you try to make a SaaS business into something that requires VC-style scaling, it could backfire and cause regret, as you're committed to something that becomes more all-encompassing and lasts many years.

My point was that if you look at the world of IT, you see that a lot of knowledge is shared and open sources. Looking at classical businesses you’d think that sharing is a bad idea though.

Roads suffer from induced demand [1]. You can't build your way out of traffic. The only solutions are tolls or quotas.

In any case, if you can't find anyone willing to pay to use your infrastructure (at a price that recoups the investment), that's a sign you overbuilt.

I don't think these one-size-fits-all approaches work regardless of the approach. Social acceptance of ... whatever people are comfortable with should be the aim.
State management is more sane and easy to understand in vue. I'm build an extremely complex application with vue and pulling it off. The extra layers of complexity with react like having to use container components was too much cognitive load for me as a single developer building a very complex app that it was crash and burn for me. Vue's simple and clear approach wins for me over perhaps the power of a purely functional environment like react. I don't doubt that react is a powerful tool but the combined cognitive load of learning react and redux compared to vue and vuex was what caused me to go for vue, its clarity reduces cognitive load and enables you to focus much more on the problem domain than the learning curve.

I'll try to respond to all points in this reply.

1. I asked the OP to apply - I assume he is really good.

2. I use the brilliant as a shorthand to say we need people that are very talented.

3. We need very talented people because the code we have, while it looks simple, is very challenging. I was on the Win95 core team at Microsoft - our code is more challenging.

4. We don't do brain teasers in our interviews, they are not an indicator of how effective you'll be (read Word Rules). We mostly have you walk us through your code. And we'll ask you to walk us through how you would approach certain problems.

5. Any workplace is not for everyone. We try to be upfront with applicants as to what they'll be doing here and what the culture is like here. This includes a final "interview" where I go through what they'll be facing here and answer any question of theirs I legally/ethically can. So they come in knowing what to expect.

And hey, if we're not the right place for you that just means you're looking for something different. Never let a job interview define you. And never let a series of no's get you down.
Current evidence seems to sugges that this is very harmful for children (which we’re having less of anyways). The long term trend is concerning. Western democracies can’t be sustained by a population which is getting dumber and more criminal, and that’s naturally the outcome of a society which has less and less of a priority on having children and raising them well.

Not sure what you're saying here. The university is changing to what it believes is a better admissions system. Are Asians for some reason unable to compete under a different system? There's never been a compelling argument for making the ACT/SAT the only criteria for admission - except perhaps that it's one number, making the job of admissions easier.
