> I apologize. I believe you may have misunderstood brevity for cynicism.These are systemic problems. There are no bad actors and everybody means well.

I, too, apologize, as I didn't mean to suggest your were implying malice. I meant cynicism in its fairly strict/traditional sense of presuming action based on (primarily or exclusively) self-interest. Being self-interested doesn't automatically mean someone is a bad actor.

Thinking further, I would object even to the brevity, since it appears to dismiss (or oversimplify) the supporters' motivations.

> The other major thing I've learned in this area, from my own work with tech groups instead of HN, is that people like doing what people like doing. That is, given their druthers, people will always drift back to doing certain types of things.

I absolutely agree, and I also think that, more importantly, the converse applies, hence my remark about people not wanting to do X.

> we've managed to take everything we've touched, split it into smaller pieces, and make them complicated. It's what we like doing. Over many years, this means that any significant tech effort contains dozens of skillsets, all of which can be very complex. This number continues increasing.

I disagree. There seems to be little evidence of it. We may have constantly shifting sub-specialties based on currently popular tools, but, for example, programmers are still programmers.

I don't believe there was ever a time of Renaissance Man tech folks, where the same person could build a computer from silicon and then program it equally competently.

> Because X is a skill, not a role. If you transition from "jobs require these roles" to "jobs require these skills", and you let the problem drive your learning and adaptation, it all works out.

I don't get it, I'm afraid. Is there more to "skill not a role" than semantics? Even the statement "jobs require these roles" sounds awkward because its just too many words. The job is the role, so no transition needed. I'm pretty sure it's already understood that the job/role requires those skills, but, more importantly, is primarily (or even exclusively) about those skills. For people who want to do X (as well as for those who want to avoid X, even if they possess some of the skill), that can be important.
What could that be used for, apart from news reporting automation?
I think executing the pregnant wife of said traitors is a bit barbaric and in the long run barbaric regimes have tended to be less stable compared to countries/regimes which have treated traitors in a more civilized manner (due process, not executing their relatives etc).
One possibility is to carefully arrange file descriptors manually, so that fds 0 and 1/2 go to the socket. Check out dup2(2).

> Lastly, don't forget that Windows NT was meant to be a console OS, like VMS. There must still be people, even if very few, at MSFT who appreciate text-oriented apps.

I expect that, like Linux compatibility, most of it is not about "apps" but about being better at running in the cloud, where a (virtual) machine or container needs to be as light as possible, and to be configured and a service launched in it as unattended/automated manner as possible. Stripping out the GUI and making command lines work better works towards these goals.

Plenty of other people share responsibility.

The public often expects strong painkillers rather than dealing with extreme pain. You can request less extreme painkillers and use less than prescribed.

Doctors can’t directly measure pain so while the have an important role, they can’t do it alone.

On top of that drug companies had a strong incentive to change the culture around pain and succeeded.

The illegal drug market thrives via specific and changeable laws.

People doping illegal drugs have a direct moral responsibility to their customers, but frankly they are already breaking the law so you can only expect so much.

Illegal drug users often seek out stronger highs resulting in their deaths. Seeking treatment is a possibility for these users.

If the rest of your comment is true, this is probably false. Seriously, if you train constantly, a 15 year old hasn't had enough time to compete. So what's more likely is that you see people who have delved deeply into one thing deeper than you... But you know other things that they don't have a clue about.

> noone wants one just tied to one theater chain

Not being American I have to ask why? Could you elaborate on that need? I see maybe a dozen movies a year, at mostly 3 cinemas all in the same chain. Why a need for multiple chains? Do only some chains show some movies or something?
Just want to point out that this is not an official API made by SpaceX, but by people hanging around https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex.

Hey, the HTTP output has a fixed number of retries, after which you could either have some mechanism in place to fall back on or by default it will simply continue the retries again whilst blocking upstream. You might also be interested in running Benthos in streams mode: https://github.com/Jeffail/benthos/tree/master/docs/streams

Streams mode lets you run as many isolated stream pipelines as you want in the same process, which in your case could be a simple queue -> webhook bridge. You can manage these pipelines either statically in config files, or dynamically through a REST API.

> But how do I deal with the fact that I always feel that there are people out there who are a lot better than me and a lot younger

I know exactly what you mean, since I have been at that place myself multiple times throughout my studies and work life.

Short background: I went back to study at the university (B.Sc. + M.Sc.) at the age of 24 and got my M.Sc. degree at the age of 30; now I'm working as a software engineer at a startup.

What really helped was in a first step to work on fully accepting myself. You will always find people that are smarter, faster, <insert adjective here> than you, but that does not mean that you are not worth of love or respect. It's okay to not be able to solve an interview question in time, or to fail an exam, or to not understand a topic the first time you hear about it. We're humans, and this is part of being human.

Self compassion and meditation helped and still help me a lot, especially when I'm facing situations where my self-esteem takes a hit or two.

It also helped a lot to understand that everyone has its own pace. If I would have gone to university years earlier I would have probably failed, because I just wasn't ready for that step at that point in my life. Now I'm 31 years of age, and I am where I want to be. And that's the important thing: it's the right place _for me_, but it may not be the right place _for you_ or for someone else, and that is totally fine!

I'm working with software engineers that are a few years younger than me, who finished their studies quite some time ago and have been working for the past few years, and I'm totally fine with that. It's really awesome, because I'm learning so many things from all of them, and it doesn't matter if they are 21 years or 45 years old. At the end of the day they are also human beings, all with their own baggage filled with fears, failures, positive experiences, and so on.

In general, being kinder to myself changed my life for the better, so I can really recommend to first working on being happy with yourself, and then taking further small steps from there.

In case you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them.

Wish you all the best for the future, you can do it!
> It makes the city center usually very uniform and, arguably, beautiful, but it can be annoying to live in.

I know what you're talking, and I know its a common design-pattern amongst architects and urban developers, but I think while uniformity can be beautiful, it certaintly isn't always. And more importantly: heterogenity can be beautiful as well.

It is the latter sentence that is somewhat avoided in many countries/cities zoning codes and is IMO just wrong. Compare the skylines of Manhattan/HongKong with the ones of Kowloon's monotone apartment building skylines in the outskirts. Or the picturesque Italian towns.

I could go on for lengths about it but there is an acknowledged dissent amongst planners to accept the fact, that in contrast to the "Paris-Way" the "London-Way" does also work. Interestingly, that often aligns amongst political views as well (Statism vs. Laissez-faire)
> There can't actually be 2 crossrail trains per minute surely?

Official docs actually say "A train every two and a half minutes at peak time through central London ... trains accommodating up to 1,500 passengers"

So it looks like no. It will actually take crossrail 5 minutes or more to exceed that daily capacity of Dugout loop.

> python is the most practical language for doing interview questions, because interviews are heavily time-constrained and python allows the developer to go from idea to implementation in the shortest amount of time.

i'm not sure if python is the best, but it's a very strong choice. python also has a lot of built in data structures that are relatively non-broken and highly useful for the archetypical algorithm-prototyping interview questions

e.g. if you are using a language that only lets you use strings or ints as keys for dicts/hashmaps - instead of say letting you use immutable compound values as keys, or a language that doesnt give you set data-structures which support basic set operations (contains, equal, subset, superset, intersect, union, etc), or a language that requires you to write a paragraph of OOP-boilerplate to encode e.g. a list of pairs of values, you're making life harder for yourself than necessary.

also, i claim without evidence that prolonged and continuous exposure to working with languages that dont offer sensible data structures, or only offer broken data structures, may over time hamper your ability to think and problem solve clearly.
How to Measure Your Reading Speed
Understanding is very different from blame - that's the main lesson from air accident investigation.

In particular, when you want to assign blame, you create an incentive to destroy or conceal evidence about what's actually happening. For opiates there are criminal penalties as soon as someone steps across the grey boundary between "medically necessary" and "recreational", so obviously everyone involved is going to lie about what's happening.

Depends on your definition of fun, I guess. I personally don't like Ruby because of that fun-factor. In most cases, it makes programming easier for the novice, but more complicated for the experienced.

This is because to make it easier for the novice, there are all kinds of constructs that try to make the code imitate normal English. But coding software is a completely different thing than writing text, thus the English-like front is in fact a smoke screen that hides the real gears.

A small example would be the unless keyword. It completely throws me of each time I come across it, because it reverses the order of evaluation:

Do something, unless condition applies.

I read that from left to right, so in my mind "Do something" has already executed, but then I have to go back, because the condition might not apply. This get really 'fun' if the condition is something negative.

I like Go just because it way more simple. Even it is a bit more verbose in the error handling, everywhere else it is very minimal and clear.

I have wondered if anyone has advice on what an ideal pie chart of your discretionary time should look like. How much of my time should be spent learning new technical things, and of that how much should be directly applicable versus exploring related fields versus totally random, hoping for serendipitous connections. How much of my time should instead be spent on reading classic literature, building side projects, household chores such as tidying up, personal finance, watching tv and movies, playing video games, revisiting old journals of ideas, socializing, networking, etc.

I'm sure if most people sat down and did a full accounting of how they spend their time, they'd feel guilty. We know we need rest, just not how much of it. Nor how to divide up the non-rest time optimally. It's not even clear what the objective function is. Happiness? Meaningfulness? Bank account? Reproductive success? I haven't dedicated enough of my pie to reading the thoughts of others on this subject.
There's natural gas for that. Sure, it's pretty CO2-intensive, but with enough overprovisioning of renewables and some storage it will rarely be used - if at all.

It's not entirely true. If you walk the inner-city neighbourhoods, you will rarely encounter buildings with more than 10 stories [1].

Clearly there are options, which aren't on the table because of preservationism and zoning.

There just isn't that much undeveloped land in the inner cities, and no one wants to tear down a 100-year old 5-storey building to make room for a 10 or 20 or 50 storey building. If an empty construction spot is found for some reason, or the odd house is torn down, then I agree with planners: don't make 1 building in 100 tall. That's just an eyesore. Heterogeneous vs homogeneous I can agree is debatable, but almost-homogenenous with a single eyesore is the worse of both.

My own preferred hypothesis is that this is the result of despair: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/04/joblessne...

Someone will no doubt reply that US unemployment is falling, and therefore so should the opiates crisis, but it's not a simple matter of economics and statistics, it's a question of what people believe about the world and their future in it. Someone who gets a bad, painful job with no agency or fulfilment will vanish from the unemployment stats but the despair remains.

(Mind you, both for-profit heathcare and a punitive, moralist approach to pain relief belong in the blame picture as well)
