I'm 42, turning 43 somewhere in the coming months. What I gather from your question is actually a more general property of aging imho. As we get older we actually have seen quite a few things before; we've burned our hands a few times and naturally've become more careful and considerate when evaluating choices.

The big advantage of youth is its naïveté; to be able to dive head first into a new idea, uncompromised enthusiasm, strong believe in your abilities because why the hell not! All the patterns are new.

The big advantage of our later years is experience, wisdom, recognizing certain things a viable and others as not so much because we recognize the patterns.

I think that one should be wary of our more negative experiences leading us to cynicism, imho the opposite of youthful enthusiasm. You see, we have the tendency to think we really do know the outcomes of certain things based on our wisdom, but the way the world works, sometimes that is totally counter-intuitive.

Case in point: when I was about 21, I got a 25000 loan to buy a Silicon Graphics O2 with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator + MIPSPro Compiler license (I kid you not) because I wanted to learn about this awesome computer and operating system. It was not a well-thought-out descision (it took me 6 years to pay of that debt). I couldn't afford software for it (hell, Alias Wavefront PowerAnimator was 35000 a seat!) so I decided to call companies that were releasing software for IRIX and bluntly ask them if I could test their software for them. I got on the phone with one guy and he said: "wait. are you telling me you bought a 25k computer just to learn?". I got a job interview the next day. Funnily enough, by buying that O2, I got a job at a graphics software company (my first programming job), I travelled the world because of that descision, met a whole bunch of awesome people and essentially, that thing kickstarted my life + career in a way that I could not have anticipated. My point is: when you think you've seen it all before, or something seems like a bad idea, keep in mind that you often can't really tell the consequences of something. At least, that's what I tell myself and it helps keep the cynical part of me in check.

I think my advice would be: kill cynicism, dive in something new head first without over-analyzing, just for the heck of it, try to find the fringes of your knowledge and push the boundary outward a bit more. Don't over-analyze try to re-connect that enthousiasm you feel/felt when discovering/exploring/coding/inventing.
I agree with this. For me, it was a combination of medical and lifestyle. I have taken a very serious approach at fixing those things and have more energy than ever.
I agree with your last point. Even though data descriptors are available I still nowadays prefer plain old attributes
Like Steve Jobs said: "people who are really serious about software should make their own hardware". I heard that a lot and never thought about it. But it started to grow in me and now I can see it wasn't just a cool sentence but rather a real mean to make the best products ever to have the best experience. Even if it was challenging and he had to go against the flow.
More like burdens like limiting the amount of doctors available,

There has never been a law in the US limiting the number of doctors available.

tying healthcare to the employer, etc.

There was never a law tying healthcare to the employer. Before the ACA, if you had a preexisting condition, that was the only way that you could get insurance - by being part of a covered group. The insurance company wouldn’t cover you.

You can manage the problem of pre-existing conditions in an insurance system with a subsidy, instead of a mandate that forces a 20 year old minimum wage person to work part time, because the employer cannot afford to pay healthcare for him.

So we need universal coverage like the rest of the civilized world....
When I worked in engineering at T-Mobile, the Danger Hiptop was the device that all the engineers loved. At the time, Duarte worked for Danger.

He left Danger to go work for Helio, then Helio was acquired. He left Helio to go work for Palm, and then Palm was acquired.

Oddly enough, the team that wound up doing the OS for the iPod was in the mix during this timespan also. They pitched a product to T-Mobile, but T-Mobile wound up going with a competitor. So Pixo wound up selling their wares to Apple, and the rest is history.

um is a brilliant name.

If you don't want to install anything new, you can also write your own man pages with a personal "man section". Just do something like this in your shell:

export MANPATH="$MANPATH:$HOME/man"
export MANSECT="1:n:l:8:3:2:3posix:3pm:3perl:5:4:9:6:7:pj"

Here I've added the "pj" section (my initials).

Then I have files like ~/man/manpj/postgres.pj or ~/man/manpj/ssl.pj. I can say `man pj postgres` to see my own notes. My own collection goes back to 2001 or so. I feel lucky that early on I started putting notes into something so portable. It's one of the few things that has always moved with me to new machines. It is here: https://github.com/pjungwir/manpj/

You don't even need to use proper man formatting if you don't want to. I find that a plain text file comes out pretty well. And when you want to start adding sections/etc, there are only a handful of formatting codes to learn (or copy/paste). I got started from a tiny chapter in O'Reilly's Unix in a Nutshell. You're welcome to steal from my own repo above. (I'm sure the formatting is nowhere close to best practice, but it's good enough for personal use.)

Honestly, when I see this I go out of my way to not tip at all. I appreciate the tip "shortcut" buttons, but when you're missing the most common option (15%) that's just in bad faith.
Mine is pretty squeaky, but doesnt feel loose. Will probably purchase a shim as it's supposed to help the squeak.
I can't say that an economic model built on continuous population growth makes any sense. The piper will get paid at some point. Even the current notion of driving down the average age via mass immigration will only last so long.

In any case, what really matters is the per capita wealth, not total.
Some years ago, we lost access to our data center although it had triple network redundancy.
What happened was that three cables were leaving the DC leased by three different companies. But a mile down the road, all three different cable entered the same physical pipe. When the physical pipe was severed, all three network cables went dark.
We should wait until they announced details of what happened before we decide that we know what happened and offer solution ("If they only had redundant links")
>Yelp is a thing.

Yelp long ago stopped being a venue for amateur critics and reviewers and turned into a space for entitled, angry consumers to vent their frustrations about the world failing to cater to their whims.
Perhaps a distinction should be drawn between "remote work" and "working from home".
Not necessarily "keep the fire", but one big piece of advice I'd give anyone here - don't stay at any given company more than five years, tops. Three to five years is a good run for "permanent".

I work in the Twin Cities, the Land of Fortune 500 Headquarters. It's a big enterprise town. What I've seen happen over and over is people become "lifers", working ten years or more in a single company, then they get laid off or fired and have no idea how to function in the current job market. Worse, their value is heavily invested in the institutional knowledge of their former employer, sometimes specialized to the point where it's useless outside of that company. This causes a lot of suffering.

If you move on regularly, you'll keep interest more easily, see a broader cross-section of the industry, and not be so hosed if you find yourself laid off.
FWIW, I've had "natives" recommend restaurants that weren't actually that great. I have a friend born and raised in Taiwan who thinks greasy American Chinese food is the best. Trust your own palate. De gustibus non est disputandam.
I get what you are saying, but I kind of disagree.

When an advertiser purchases a slot in some broadcast, they are doing so with the guarantee that their advertisement will play during that slot; they do not have the guarantee that the end user's eyeballs will actually be watching the ad.

However, ad skipping and ad blocking technology is making it so advertisers aren't even guaranteed their ad will even play during the slot they purchased - it may be programmatically skipped. If the ad is skipped, someone loses out, and it's (usually) not the end user.

Basically what I'm saying is that if you are watching Crunchyroll episodes with an ad blocker enabled, you are (basically) stealing from either Crunchyroll or the ad network (whoever is swallowing the stolen bandwidth costs). The honest thing to do would be to subscribe to Crunchyroll premium if you don't want to watch the ads.

I know not every site has this option, and I know there's an argument to be made against double dipping (i.e. paying once for cable, and a second time by watching ads on said cable), but for things like YouTube and Crunchyroll which have official ad-free variants, it would be dishonest in my opinion to use the ad supported version with an ad blocker.

Just my opinion, though.
46, and not a software developer, but I recruited for 20 years for startups and now I'm a resume writer and career consultant that works with lots of older engineers. The ones that are happy seem to not stay in one place too long (either moving internally to different projects or changing jobs), so they are always learning new things and often meeting new people.

I think a lot of 40+ engineers are unnecessarily skeptical about startups and smaller companies. Sure, the chances of any individual startup going under are pretty obvious, but once you're in that ecosystem it's not hard to get picked up by others in the ecosystem. Everyone from that startup is going to find work at another, and they'll bring along some friends, and your network gets pretty spread out pretty quickly which provides more and more opportunities.

I'm not even sure what "making it big at 40+" means - if you mean building something technically significant, many won't hit that goal. If it means having a good paycheck and lifestyle, that's attainable for most skilled devs it seems.
Re: All of the big computer manufacturers in the 1970s faced challenges in the transition from minicomputers to microcomputers.

Indeed! Predicting the future is hard. Only Warren Buffett can financially "prove" he has any skill at it, and he doesn't personally even claim such ability (instead following a set of principles laid down by Benjamin Graham, but often ignored by academia).

PC's eventually became a commodity business anyhow, and HP wasn't cut out for commodities. Commodity businesses usually flow overseas where labor is cheaper anyhow: it's not US's bag. Microsoft made its fortune on OS's and tricking companies into entrenched software "standards", keeping it from becoming a commodity. But HP was a hardware co., not software.

HP were better off as an R&D lab and "nerd tool" maker. Stay with your strength. Warren Buffett also notices that companies that deviate from their core strength tend to suffer. Do one thing and do it well. Transitions of focus can happen successfully, but are rare. Don't bet against the patterns of history unless you want to suffer the patterns of history also. (Apple is arguably an exception, but that's another long topic.)

Since I'll be in Reykjavík in a few days, any specific Thai restaurant suggestions are welcome.
Wow, at age 53 I am definitely slower. I type more slowly and I remember less. On the other hand, maybe I know a bit more than I did when I was young.
To be fair, Thailand does plenty of the latter too. Though it's largely focused on internal dissidents.

So, what about all the people building the software and making a living from that?
A lot of people on HN are in SV (or another big tech hub like Seattle), and make 300K+ in total comp. It's a lot more lucrative [in general] to be a developer in the US than it is in most of the rest of the world.
It must depend on the person because I don't find it helps at all. If anything, it's slightly harder to read.
That's an interesting point. It's rather like the leapfrog to cellphones without intermediate steps.

No matter what tech is used, it'll be obsolete at some point.
Not just business hours. Go there on thanksgiving and it will open.
How important is pay? Would you rather take a pay cut and work for a smaller company. Big three pays a lot and has a lot of perks like unlimited PTO.
I'm several decades in to software development, and am just as excited about learning things and making things as ever, which is to say, quite a lot. Though I also echo what some other folks have written here: I'm occasionally jaded about yet another rediscovery and reimplementation of something already well understood.

Here's another thing that experience brings though: a sharper focus on efficiency, the ratio of output to input. That is the thing I look for in each shiny new object that drifts across. If it is interesting that will get my attention for a few minutes; if there is a hint that it might somehow move the needle in terms of getting more out of less in, it will keep my attention.

Read about Freddie Prinze. He died at age 22, IIRC.

My personal rules are:

1) If I pay before I get service (fast food, coffee shop counter, etc), there's no tip. The point of tipping is for service, I'm not pre-tipping you for service you haven't given me yet.

2) The vast majority of the time I tip 15%. It's extremely rare I see service that's outstandingly poor or outstandingly good. Most are just average.

> And my browsing of sites with malicious compliance has dropped 100%

Wouldn't you want to boycott sites that are also non-compliant? How do you know which sites are truly maliciously complying or are non-compliant? Meaning, if you only know the ones that tell you so, you may even be disincentivizing transparency or at the least sites that have ignored the GDPR altogether probably still have your support? Or if they don't and you are somehow able to tell whether a site is violating the GDPR, why could you not have put your boycott into practice without government assistance?
In China I often get spam iMessage texts from illegal gambling services advertising their apps. These apps are often disguised as something else. You download a calendar/video app etc hit the right button and it turns into a casino/sports betting app. During the world cup I was getting 4-5 texts a day.
And yet still a better venue for this garbage than HN.
Hmm. I have MicroG since months and last i checked Netflix worked just fine.
Fair. Thanks. Was just an example. Main point I was trying to make was about drawing conclusions after the experiment to fit the results.
I suspect this practice would take the expected time from hire to productive from maybe 1-3 months to 1-3 years. This seems likely to be an expensive prospect, and that's if we assume every single person makes a good engineer.

Based on the comments of others, I suspect this approach is most useful in a business where you have positions at a variety of skill levels. In IT and tech, the base skillset required can be substantial.
Yes, both.

Tipping should be banned completely. It's discriminatory, feeds into the black economy and is f annoying.

Also, its linked to higher rates of corruption:

Then that would basically mean that all content would have to be moderated in the EU, which would cripple forums and chat sites.

I can't even begin to imagine what repercussions that will have.
I was replying to the assertion that it's not comparable to look at permits as an accurate measurement of new construction since a building in the city holds many families, versus one family per building in the 'burbs. In reality it's pretty straightforward to use certificates of occupancy as a measurement because it [nearly always] measures housing units instead of clusters of housing units. Apartments (not condos) are sometimes an exception.
I would agree but Apple has a handful of journalist it 'likes' and get's first shots at a lot of things. Not saying this is the case, and this is a good thing Apple does. I think its just ignoring a important part of the Apple ecosystem, the product itself.
So the full backstory is that I injured my back when I was 20, playing tennis barefoot of all things. My doctor just gave me muscle relaxers and told me to stretch more, which I of course did not do. Since then, I have re-injured my lower back three or four times, doing deadlifts and squats (incorrectly, I guess, not through lack of trying though.) Since my last injury, I have lowered weight, focused on form even more, and started doing Yoga for better core strength and flexibility. It is slowly helping and I haven't re-injured myself for over a year. I think I have just severely damaged my spine and I should probably go see a good doctor, chiropractor, or licensed massage therapist like some other comments have suggested. To quote episode 7 of HBO's hit limited series, "Sharp Objects", "Your health is not a debt you just cancel. The body collects."
Oh, I agree. I guess guru and cults have 24x7 compounds; churches don't.
I don't think anyone should be censored/sanctioned. ISIS, Alex Jones, Antifa, let them all speak as far as I'm concerned. But to the extent that there are currently censorship rules in place, I genuinely do not understand them. Enforcement seems genuinely random and arbitrary.

Sarah Jeong mocks white racists, no ban, fine.

Candace Owens copy/pastes Sarah Jeong's tweets, gets banned, not fine.

A world in which Alex Jones gets banned but ISIS does not is total insanity.

To reiterate, I don't want any of the above to be banned/censored. However, in an world in which the above facts exist, I am suggesting I do not understand what the rules are at all. It seems random and arbitrary.
Care to share a bit more detail on how you did this? Was there some interfacing library that you used analogous to Cython/SWIG/etc.? Presumably you didn't code directly against the C API (in python.h)?
It was Zen Yai Thai.
You can't call local specialty foods ethnic food. That's not what the phrase means.

Yeah, the BBQ was good, but I didn't get the "best in the world" effect in my mouth. I once ate meat cooked by a Texan at a house party, I was seriously impressed and blown away after the first bite. This guy told me that he caters BBQ parties in Texas as a hobby. He told me about his marinade process, it bordered on science. His skill was legit.

It's possible that the my Memphis friends directed me to the wrong restaurants. But if I can't trust the locals to tell me which are the best restaurants in their city, who can I trust? Plus, their opinions matched up with what I saw on Tripadvisor.

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. But I've also anecdotally found that some people who brag about their food haven't tasted food around the world, so their frame of reference is a bit limited. For example, I'll never say I've tasted really good Italian food because I've never been to Italy, and my gosh, the descriptions I hear about real Italian food blow my mind (and I think I've been to a few good Italian restaurants in North America). It's just like my high school friend once recommended a bunch of us go to the best sushi restaurant he ever tasted on the last day of school; as we ate there, the rest of us realized he had just unfortunately never been to an actually good sushi restaurant in our city. Either that, or his tongue actually couldn't tell the difference the way a tone-deaf person is incapable of hitting the right notes.

I'm not trying to be condescending when I say certain people lack a good frame of reference. It's not their fault. It is what it is. I'm sorry for not being able to figure out a different way to say it.

I doubt anyone will read this followup, but I want to elaborate. After giving it some more thought, I think a large part of my irritation comes with having something hovering above me somewhere, in addition to the sound. It's unnerving.
I'm 41. I started programming on a C64 when I was about 10 and then started with c++ when I was 14 on an 8088 but quickly convinced my neighbor to give me her 286 she wasn't using in exchange for mowing her lawn for a Summer.

Most of my life has been financial apps for banks and finance companies. Business "process" apps too. I am currently switching from game development (last 5 years) to quant finance. I am doing this by getting EPAT and also returning to school part-time for Economics.

I maintain my focus by thinking about what got me into writing code in the first place. I loved it. When I was about 8 I remember my Saturday mornings being spent typing in BASIC code from "The Gazette" magazine while drinking chocolate milk and eating powdered doughnuts (Spaulding Kruellers!). I would type in, debug my mistakes and eagerly wait for the final result. Then I would try and change the code to my own liking. Save it to a cassette and move on. When we got a floppy drive I was in heaven, side note :-)

So, my advice. If you love what you are doing then that is all that matters. If you can't find a way to pay the bills with it then do it on the side, continue to love it and things will fall into place in the future. Even if I am writing code for a company, I don't write the code for them, I write it for myself, I do my best work for myself. Then I do it again on the next project (Yes, I know it is really their code and not mine...but....)
