I'm typing this from one of WeWork's Shanghai locations, the loud music is blaring behind me so I wear 3M Peltor construction headset, the sun through the glass roof blinds my screen, and I have to squint to be able to read what I type. I'm just back to HN from Medium which didn't load because the Internet speed is abysmal (packet loss to Baidu LG is at 12% right now with medium ping at 170ms, if I switch to my phone hotspot it's 1% and 32ms). I just bought some drinking water outside because their RO filter is probably not serviced ever and I have stomach issues after drinking it, my TDS pen reads 180ppm from their water which is about the same as my tap water at home. But my membership is part of the contract so I'm not paying for it, so I can't complain. $35B, $350B, these numbers feel very abstract to me.

> jump through many hoops

this right here is why i don't have a job yet -- suddenly being a good programmer isn't enough, you have to be a good algorithmic competitive programmer. Code challenges with intensely difficult algorithms (i'm talking 3 to 8 per interview) are making all of you employers pass over good devs, and making me homeless. This is the new brainteaser and 5 years from now people will look back and realize its a terrible judge of someone who will be programming a fucking website.

edit: i'm not going to post my resume or portfolio here, but if you saw what i'm capable of and where i worked in the past you would be shocked that i'm having issues finding employment.

also i should note: i'm 36... but i'm sharper and know more now than when i was being paid 96 to 105k in my 20s.

Recently had to contact dell due to the 'floppy screen' issue on the xps 13's, really good service, got the laptop back in 3 days. And you know what, Microsoft is also kicking ass in the service department. Had an issue with a license and in the middle of the night I was able to contact someone and they gave me a new pro key for the trouble.

Compare that to all the terrible customer service news from apple, and I think apple is really the one that needs to change more the the other guys at this point.
Thanks! Seems like a good way to get some time out of this. Just have to keep in mind when Apple may EOL the MacOS/Security updates.
I use Vue at work every day. We build large applications in it and it's extremely pleasant to use.

That said, I wouldn't use a number of stars in Github as more than an indicator of people pushing a star button in Github.

I've starred many things so that I can remember them some day. If I use something every day it's most certainly not starred.

I'm deterred from such job ads. But in fact you're right, it's not because of what I wrote above. Instead, it's because I've found a high correlation between those job ad keywords and dev work doing nothing but CRUD apps under the micromanaging eye of dysfunctional management.

When I was growing up I lived in a small town and the city planner had mocked the entire town in the original SimCity. The ongoing joke was that he would test any proposals in that.
The split view of 'producer' vs 'consumer' often seems like a good yardstick for this kinda stuff, rather than high/low end.

For situations where you want to be productive on a device, mouse and keyboard, desktop, big screen, proper seat all very important. For situations where someone consumes on a device, touch input, portability, small screen, headphones connectivity.

That seems to match the philosophical split for MacOS vs IOS, and maybe future developments can be best predicted by applying that lens.

We are supposed to be an American community, not a bunch of people who don't lend a hand when someone makes a misstep or hits a wall.

I am disgusted how selfish such a huge chunk of this country has become... half this country can't remember what empathy is, and they have slowly destroyed our social safety net. I want the government to do more to help people in this type of position get back on their feet so that they can live a good life, and contribute to our country and tax base. I want my taxes to go UP to pay for that, in conjunction with lowering the massive defense spending we have.

If you are lucky enough to never make a misstep so deep you can't recover on your own, awesome for you, not everyone has that.

I must disagree. In my brief experience with the "test prep industrial complex", I saw that most of the families putting their kids through it are immigrants - especially South Asian and East Asian immigrants. Minorities who arrived in the US with little money and no local support network.
>Why the downvotes?

Probably because it's inaccurate/exaggerated in a couple ways.

1. Genocide refers to humans, not animals, and requires the act to be targeted at a group of people that share some sort of traits (typically race, or cultural identity).

2. Disney imported "no more than a few dozen lemmings," which doesn't really meet the numbers the word typically is used for.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/white-wilderness/

Disney killed lemmings, and unless they attempted to wipe out all lemmings that share a particular cultural identity, it's probably pretty insensitive to use it in this context.

I believe you are missing the point of the comment.

Even if smaller players take all super duper steps to protect user data, advertisers have no real way of knowing if they are in fact compliant whereas they have a simple way of looking at the published balance sheets of the big players and seeing the huge cash pile and armies of lawyers. The scare caused by activists weilding "nightmare letters" doesn't help. Also there's a body of thought in legal circles that even vendor chains needs to be evaluated which is causing advertisers to be wary. Far simpler to just throw money at the biggies who will deal with this.

As usual, the smart money will be in the certification industry that will inevitably come up to tax the mid sized players while the small publishers will die out.

> half this country can't remember what empathy is

Not that I disagree with your overall point, but while I might be being overly sensitive here, I think it's implicit that 9 times out of 10, when someone refers to "half the country", what they mean to say is "the half of the country not affiliated with the political party to which I am affiliated."

Yes, there are selfish people, but largely, that selfishness is not evenly divisible by party line, and the castigation of "the others" should be minimized, in my opinion, as most Americans, left, right, or center, are honestly trying to do what they feel is right.

As it sits, Republicans are statistically quite charitable[1][2], to the point that 9 of the 10 most charitable states are red states.

Yes, perhaps they see a different role for government than you do, and yes, I think that the parent to your comment was indeed acting selfishly, but that doesn't necessarily conflate to partisan beliefs, nor should we attempt to correlate individual behavior to partisan causation.

Not defending windows, but do you remember when Mac OS allowed you to decline updates you didn’t need? Or better yet, a Linux variant where you can choose.
They fixed a lot of stuff in plan 9 and it's a pleasure to tinker with. Everything is partitioned in namespaces to isolate processes. Since the entire system is file system based, you manipulate the process namespace which is really just a file that lists the mounts and binds which build that namespace file system. Binds and unions are a blessing and eliminate the headache of environment variables. Every object is a file and everything is communicated via the network transparent in-kernel file protocol, 9p. And because of that, Plan 9 is fully distributed.

For example: I can share the internet without a router or nat by exporting my internet facing ip stack and mount it on the machines needing net access. As far as the isp knows, a single machine is talking to it. I can do the same with file systems, file servers, network cards, sound cards, disks, usb devices, etc.

It's far from usable in production and 9p is a dog over high latency links. but the ideas it has are simple yet brilliant. Best distro to check out for newcomers is 9front (they're silly fellows but don't let that fool you. serious top notch hackers that lot.)
How have you been an engineer for 15 years and still:

- Rent an apartment

- Don’t have a few laptops laying around

- Don’t have any savings while having no kids

Each item above, on its own, is normal but all together doesn’t make sense.

For the last 15 years you should have been making 60-200k and you obviously didn’t sink it into a house, computer hardware, or savings. Where did it all go?

That’s why this doesn’t add up, to me at least.

I’m not saying you’re lying, but that I can’t figure out how you got to this point.
If you haven't talked to your landlord, talk to your landlord. If they sent you a summons after three days, I don't have high hopes, but it's worth a shot. Explain your situation and see if there's anything they can do for you. Maybe they'll let you stay until they can rent the place.

Are you someplace you can drive for Uber or Lyft? It's not great money, but you can probably earn enough in the month you have left to buy a cheap laptop and pay for food, a cell phone, and a gym membership after you get evicted, which should improve your ability to keep applying for jobs.

I think the issue here is that advertisers are not willing to evaluate if clients can protect user data unless large sums of money are offered up front.

>The treatment cures (in around 97% of cases) tonsilitis.

I feel like this is a kind of doublespeak and a rather misleading way of phrasing things. It of course stands to reason that excising an organ in toto will be very effective at preventing a person from having continued inflammation of that organ, as it is no longer part of their body, in the same way that toenail fungus can almost certainly be "cured" by amputating the affected toe.

The latter rarely happens, because people understand the value of their toes and realize that having toenail fungus is typically better than having no toe at all. But for organs inside the body, whose function is less plain to the lay person, patients are largely at the mercy of doctors to give them an honest appraisal of the life-long risk of removing them, and whether it might be warranted in a particular situation.

It seems that in many of these cases, it would be far more straightforward and honest to simply say "If [organ X] is really bothering you, I can cut it out," rather than cite some pseudo-scientific percentage purporting to describe how often surgery can "cure" some abstracted set of symptoms or "chief complaint." Doctors (especially specialists!) seem reluctant to move beyond this rather myopic way of conceptualizing health care. The idea that medicine is simply a game of "complaint whack-a-mole" might be psychologically comforting to a doctor (as well as financially lucrative in fee-for-service jurisdictions), but, from the perspective of the patient, it makes little sense to fix one symptom only to acquire five more of greater severity.

The question people really want answered is: "If I cut out [organ X], is it going to cause me other problems down the road?" But this is the very thing that doctors/surgeons so often seem so curiously (willfully?) ignorant of, even for "routine" procedures. Isn't it rather bizarre that, despite tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies being performed on millions of children over many decades, often for the most trivial of justifications, the analysis described in the linked paper took until 2018 to be completed, by a trio of PhDs no less?

Is it just too psychologically burdensome for surgeons to worry about the long term health of their patients or the long-term consequences of their procedures?

I think tcj_phx certainly does have a point, that people are not so much interested in "treating symptoms" as they are in doing what will preserve their whole-body health well into old age. If doctors can't say what will best achieve that, either because they don't know or haven't bothered to look into it carefully, they need to be very upfront about their ignorance and inability to provide a well-considered recommendation.

- Customer support and/or pc maintenaince or similar is seriously in need for a lot of small-medium companies. This can lead to coding very easily. See around where you live and note how many companies are. ALL OF THEM NEED SOMEONE LIKE YOU. Not all of them will say yes, but well, you could try!.

- Do you have other abilities san coding? Having any job look like is more important than having the job you want.

I don't know how things are in USA but where I live (Colombia) is kind of easy to survive - and VERY well- selling street food. One time, I make a bit more than my prior jobs selling tasting meat (was not unemployed but wanna get a bit more). I know someone in California that sell spicy food in jars and live very well.

My mother is Chef and have helped some friends in bootstrap a food bussiness around easy-to-made food. One of them, sell Hogao (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogao) in jars and made to support his family just with this. Their situations was even more desperate, for sure.

You could put to advantage you/wife extra amount of time. As my naive understanding of the USA situation, nobody have time!. Can you provide a service like prepare lunch boxes, take care of pets, clean houses, or anything similar?
