1. Obscure languages.

I just talked to an AS/400 programmer that knows RPG, and has had a job for the last decade being "the RPG" programmer, because the Java people don't want to touch it. He even moved away from Seattle, but they didn't want to lose him, so they let him work remotely.

2. Growth languages (in-demand languages).

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

C has a growth rate of 8%. This seems to suggest that C coders are on the rise professionally, which makes them harder to get. Java has only a 0.88% growth rate, which means the market is pretty saturated with them.

I moved from C++ to python years ago, and never really looked back. But based upon this, I think it's time to put some C back in my skill set.
Yeah, but Facebook's software could contain tagged data of actual people.
I never got into FB and have not used it in probably 7+ years, and as unbelievable as it sounds, I still have a robust social life and am not missing out on anything. The necessity of Facebook is entirely in people’s minds.
It’s not only low prices that helped tourism gain traction. It’s one of the areas massively impacted by technology in recent years...3G/4G, online maps, AirBnb, aviation safety ...all these allow the average teenager to take a tour across Europe with ease.
It’s a trend now that young people take a year off between high school and university, just for travelling.

Sounds absurd but some years ago people would think twice about travelling just because of the fear of getting lost.
In a small way this has happened in Colorado. Certain parks have become so popular that officials are considering a daily limit. Hanging Lake for instance: https://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/22/hanging-lake-permits-d...

Of course there are many other parks that don't have this problem in Colorado.
Your life sounds unbelievably frustrating and lonely. I sincerely hope you feel better and wish I lived closer and could do something.

It's not wrong to charitably keep your family afloat. That's for sure. Serious commendations for your rational generosity. You only ever get one family. One trouble with society is the opposite: Far too few children are too generous.

Your life brings tremendous value. Hope you feel better.

So games can be policed for correct content. Thought policed if you will.
> Realistically, almost all but the simplest code can produce an error, starting from out-of-memory errors.

If you care about handling out-of-memory errors then you absolutely do want to distinguish between code that allocates and code that does not. The vast majority of application code is content to treat out-of-memory as an impossible condition and fail-fast in the case where it does happen. So sure, technically the distinction is between code that can produce errors that you want to handle and code that cannot produce errors that you want to handle, but the point goes through all the same.

> You can break up code according to many criteria, but doing it based on whether the code throws an error or not seems not very practical, since you can break up code only once.

Nonsense. You can, and should, decompose your code along multiple axes, including any effects, of which error handling is indeed only one.

> Further you could have smart test tools that can figure out what exceptions can be thrown in what circumstances. You don't need to bother the programmer with them.

"smart test tools" would amount to an ad-hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden implementation of half a type system. The distinction between code that can error and code that cannot should be as lightweight as possible, but it mustn't be completely elided, because the programmer needs to be able to see it when they're working on the code. The "=" versus "<-" distinction in Haskell-style "do notation" is the best compromise I've seen: it's minimally intrusive, but it is visible.
I never said it was impossible to be discriminated against based on race. Obviously it is. And obviously race exists. I was pointing out the absurdity of colleges factoring race into admissions while simultaneously employing professors who claim race doesn't exist. If it doesn't exist then how can you justify factoring it into admissions? You can't -- because it exists.

TLDR I agree w u dude.

EDIT: HN won't let me reply to ur reply so let me say -- no my argument is very coherent. If you want to say that "it's not settled if race exists or not" then I agree. And I agree with your assertion that discrimination based on perceived racial characteristics is also obviously possible. I also never said that ppl who argue that race is only a social construct also are arguing that racism doesn't even exist, I don't even know where you got that from tbqh dude. This comment thread is weird to me because you're disagreeing with a ton of things I didn't even say and that I disagree with as well. I don't know why you're so hell-bent on disagreeing with straw man arguments you project onto me because all your points are solid bro and I agree with them all, except for your nonsensical assertion that I don't agree with u. Uhhh trust me bro, yes I do lmao. :)
Lots of people were fighting this long before Trump. With things like his ridiculous “travel ban” and now his policy of separately imprisoning children, Trump is drawing attention from less involved people too.

I am coming at this from a competing perspective so take it with a grain of salt...isn't the whole idea of the declarative approach that users/Ops can focus only on specifying what they want and let whatever target execution run-time handle the actual semantics?

An approach that goes back to relying on procedural programming languages as a primary means of configuration seems like it defeats the purpose.

I am working in this space, mainly focused on configurations:
https://youtu.be/4yepPOznakk

The approach we've adopted is to maintain the declarative presentation while providing a way to plug in procedural language programmability without using templates or other similar concoctions (ksonnet..etc).

This is the one problem I have with not having a Facebook account. There are one or two groups that I would like to be a member of but their online forum is only available through their Facebook group. Not ever having an account with Fb prevents me from signing up.

I have many reasons to dislike Fb but at the top of that is how gated it makes communities.
I Dunno dude we were talking about fairness in admissions and now you're talking about the goals of colleges. I agree different colleges have different goals. I'm just saying that taking finances into consideration is so gameable that it shouldn't be a factor in a fair admissions process.
No, you don't. Your argument is incoherent. It's not settled that race "exists" or what it means. People arguing that race isn't meaningful, or meaningful only as a social construct, aren't saying that there's no such thing as racial discrimination, nor can their arguments be reduced to such a claim.

I agree. Kinda baffled why banks don't push for a hardened hardware platform. I've always wanted a hardware token type widget that would display any pending transactions on my credit card. If I push the approve button the transaction would be signed with my public key and sent to the vendor.

Seems insane that my credit card number is displayed in plain text to anyone I deal with in the physical world and is enough for anyone else on the planet to charge my account.

I think this kind of “don’t sell technology x to governments” is kind of misguided for the following reasons.

1) You are saying that you are from be with private entities having access to this technology, but not public entities? Private individuals and companies should be able to use facial recognition, but not governments? Throughout history, governments have typically been the first ones to acquire tech. Of note is that the major Airplane companies (Boeing and Airbus) have very large military units.

2) It is likely to be ineffective. All you need is a third company that serves as the bridge that buys facial recognition from Amazon and resells to the government.

3) International relationships really are a competition. I am sure Chinese AI companies are working hand in glove with the government to make sure their government is able to deploy the latest AI tech. If AI is the gamechanger people say it is, you have given an incredible leg up to China vs the West.

4) If employees at companies keep on pushing this anti-government, anti-military thing with AI, there is a good chance that it will get reclassified as a sensitive technology and heavily regulated.
D3 and React: the simple, functional way
I think its comparing how the algorithm did versus just blindly HODLing your coins. So HODLmeter:XX% is the percentage the algorithm increased the value of its holdings over the described period. The HODLing is the percentage the market increase by over the same period. Thus, if you had HODLed for the same period for ETH, you'd have lost a significant amount in the value of your holdings, but the algorithm made money.
HODL is a memetic misspelling of "hold", meaning to hold on to an investment. FODL is a play on HODL refering to folding in poker, meaning to give up on a gamble and take a loss in order to avoid a larger loss later. Usually by trading for a stabler coin like Tether.
Whether it is barbaric or not is subject to debate (preferably elsewhere).

If you want to make a post about some investor "powering" this, I'm interested, but not for reasons you'd like, I'm sure.

> You don't have an inalienable right to watch movies

If you include news and documentaries, I kinda do. Though not quite as righteous, I get a little indignant that some company gets to dictate how much I'll have to pay to remain informed of our shared (though purely-entertainment) culture.

> universal judge of movie quality

The word "objectively" here is used like "literally", a in a meaningless sentence enhancer.

> you aren't entitled to dictate how you want the business of media to operate

I think I should be, it's my money I'm giving them after all, I'd like to have a vote in the content, how I access it, and even how much it's worth.

>(i.e. you get to pick how much or how little you pay)

Demand and supply: if you want to charge more than I want to see your service I guess I can unsubscribe; I wish we could barter about it. However, if I have to pay $39.99/month for who knows how long to watch one documentary, which I know was dirt cheap to make, I'm going to feel so morally justified while I pirate it that I will indeed think I'm the 'good guy'.
As a tourist it's very difficult to know what activities are damaging when it's long-term damage over decades.

The difference between harmful and safe activities often come down to the caretakers of the place you are visiting and what they've done to setup safe visits.

> It is not recommended to use RAID5 since the performance of this type of RAID for databases is not good.

This strikes me as a generalization that is, at best, questionable. (Also, these days, with spinning disks, I'd more likely do RAID6, but I expect it's comparable enough).

I'd tend to agree that, historically, it's been true, and is demonstrably true for certain situations, such as a read-heavy load or recovering from a failed disk.

However, is it really still true for modern RAID cards?

What about with SSDs? I'd expect that cost is still a significant consideration for anyone specifying hardware, making the difference between RAID5 and RAID10 important.
Is there something wrong with this? Email, fax, phones, telegrams, snail mail, etc. Everything was the new weird thing at one point in time.
I agree that the collective action problem is solved by government, and that these problems are of that sort. It's just that the language of "but... the burden falls on local governments" makes it sound as though that pragmatic reality replaces individual moral responsibility.

Especially if the problem would be even worse when we stop trying to reinforce each other's good actions, then throwing up your hands and saying "well, it's the government's problem" isn't good enough.
Meh. I live in the core area the author describes. The retail situation is frustrating but at least as much a function of Amazon as rapacious landlords. And eventually the vacancies will force a reset of retail rent expectations and things will normalize. NYC is a lovely exciting place. I’m in my 21st year here. Sure I’m nostalgic for the NYC of my recent college grad days but really that’s mostly being nostalgic of being 21 again.

Trump space force: US to set up sixth military branch
Lyft used to do something similar couple of years ago (at least in Bay Area) in Lyft Line. I believe they had 10 min wait option wherein when you request and wait for 10 mins you'll get cheaper fare. I remember getting 10-20% cheaper fares consistently using that option. I'd regularly take 10 min wait option especially going to east bay or peninsula from SF.

Uber also has "express pool" option (again in bay area), wherein you have to wait for 2 mins to get matched.

As a rider, these options are great. However, not sure if it's profitable for these companies. I guess with higher rider/driver density, they can make it work?
>"This included making direct code changes to the Tesla Manufacturing Operating System under false usernames and exporting large amounts of highly sensitive Tesla data to unknown third parties."

What in here indicates ex-CIA operative to you? Theres no need to add any conspiracy around it. Adding a commit with a different username is incredibly trivial to anyone who can run commit with the command line, i.e. 99% of software engineers. As for exporting data to unknown third parties, I have seen interns do this by accident. Its not complicated or needs rare skills to do a lot of damage internally.

If Tesla runs fast and loose with ideas like their PR pieces suggest, I doubt their security is incredibly top notch in terms of locking down internal threats either

I'm not right here? Where is that? Why do you restrict this conversation to one imagined location as if the same thing wasn't happening in multiple countries simultaneously?

I am right here in Poland and I tell you, the things you show, and the things described in the article and in the first comment in this thread, they are all consumed en masse by young and mid-age adults (especially women). Lifestyle, sports, fashion, diet, craft, yoga, coaching, ikebana, it's all on Insta and Facebook and other platforms and when you see who's commenting, it's not JUST kids. And there's way more people 20+ than the kids. I never said kids do not have influence (sic) of that kind, they do. But when someone says "if you see something odd or stupid, it's the kids", it's just completely wrong. Kids have serious purchasing and decision making power now, but still it's just a fraction.

So, programming got less fun for me ever since I started doing it for money. I hated my job in pretty much exactly the same way you describe. But I have loved technology and building things ever since I was a few years old (Lego, etc)

Then I quit my job (after a year) and went independent. I (eventually, not overnight) built an app that did moderately well, while sustaining myself through contracting revenue, and made a nice chunk of money from that. Not FU money, but enough to sustain me for a long time if I invested it well and didn't spend through the roof. And then I built another, and another.

Everyone is different and I get where you're coming from. The reason I'm telling you this is because I love what I do again. I have helped out my mom when she needed it. I have freedom in life to do what I want, when I want it. I love cooking and spend a proper amount of time each day doing it. And I love the users of my apps that reach out to me because they enjoy using it. A good day of work is 4 to 6 hours of productive work.

Also: you're not weak for helping out family -- call me crazy but I would give the people I care about a free monthly stipend if I could. People care too little about others.

Also 2: You should stop reading startup stories and Techcrunch, as they're mostly bullshit. Investors included. If you want to take control of your life, focus on small things or products you can build in a short amount of time (e.g. like a plugin, a library or an app). Not going to go too much into detail, but I built one app a few years ago in a week that grossed close to $50k. Then there was another I built in a month that did $X00k+. Then I spent six months on a SaaS which made me exactly $10. I'm definitely not the smartest or most commercial guy around.

Life isn't always easy, but please, don't kill yourself. It can definitely get better.
