With all things evolutionary, you have to keep in mind the environment.

Agriculture in 5000 BCE in places developing it may very well have been harder than hunter-gathering in 8000 BCE... but easier than hunter-gathering in 5000 BCE in the places developing agricultural. Environmental changes, increased population density, and loss of key plant and animal species could make what was once an idyllic lifestyle nearly impossible, and what was formerly a back-breaking waste of time “better than slowly starving to death”.
With college students I assume they are going to be nervous so plan on working around it. i.e. giving them more time, telling them to calm down and relax. reassuring them they are ok, etc

College students experience is often limited by what was given them by their professors. As such I do not expect a good answer for 'How do you refine requirements'.

From college students I look for raw skill that I can shape, not skills already shaped.

For an experienced developer I am worried they are set in their ways. 'Well I have always programmed in Cobol ... and you know there is a Cobol.Net' Sorry I do not care, I need you to use what we are using. College students do not have that problem, they expect to learn new stuff.

For both I always ask general IT type topics that I think they should already know. If I can I look at the college students courses they took and their grades. Choose one I am familiar with and ask an advanced question: Oh I see you have taken Programming Languages. Was that the study of different programming languages or did you build a compiler? Follow up if different languages - what languages did you cover? Which was your favorite and why? So what is the difference between functional programming and .... Or follow up with Build a Compiler (usually a simple one) - so explain the major components, how did you address the issue of grammer was it BNF or CDL etc, please explain that.

IMVHO there is a unnoticed problem underneath, probably best explained by XKcd standard's vignette (927), we will NEVER really accept for long time "proposed solution" but we can converge by nature to a common solution if we find a comfortable common way to move.

Plan9 for me is an answer because yes, it does not solve problems you rightly pointed out, but instead offer a common ground to reduce them by nature. It offer a dramatically simple and effective "networked" solution so a good ground on top of which we can develop a future of IT and so future interoperable solutions.

Emails do the same, when they start, which means when we really have a diversity/interoperability problem in communications: offer a means to develop a common ground on top instead offer a "common solution to be adopted".

Every single product change, but needs tend to remain the same, Greenspun's tenth rule of programming perhaps is another example that tell the same thing better.

sure, but my point is, who decides what ethnicity you are? I mean, your average man on the street, when asked to identify ethnicity is still pretty much with Blumenbach; "what do you look like?"

Functionally, there is what ethnicity you say you are, and what ethnicity other people see you as.

I don't have a complete picture of my genealogy, and even if I did, even if I could say I was descended from some ur-scott and you could say the same of all of my other ancestors, you're still just pushing the problem back in time. People migrate. People have been migrating for as long as people have been people; You could, with enough work, figure out that some of my ancestors were in country X at time Y... but I don't think that is going to line up with your common definition of ethnicity.

If I think I'm ethnicity X and if most people perceive me as ethnicity X... well, then I very clearly am ethnicity X... regardless of what my great great grandparents may or may not have been.

It's more complex if I think I'm X but others perceive me as Y... but it's still all about perception, as far as I can tell.

There's a story about a US astrophysicist grad student working on stellar evolution. A visiting Soviet scientist came to give a talk. At the end the student asked a question about one aspect of the talk, something like, how do you know the plasma is transparent to photons at that temperature? The visiting Russian just said "it is." Later, the grad student mentioned it, quizzically, to his advisor. His advisor pointed out that it was something that came out of nuclear bomb research.

I looked, but could not find that anecdote.
In short, could your mind be so utterly irrational that that you're mistaken about the most basic questions of what you yourself know or think?

It's far from a purely hypothetical scenario. After all, while dreaming we often follow nonsensical or self-contradictory chains of reasoning while thinking they make perfect sense – hence the term "dream logic". There are ways to try to identify that you're dreaming, and you can train yourself to use them more consistently, but they're far from perfect. Sometimes it just won't occur to you to do a dream test, and sometimes you'll fool yourself into thinking you passed the test.

In my opinion, the only real solution is a pragmatic one. You can never be certain that you currently have any degree of rationality, and so you can never be truly certain about anything, period. However, you may as well assume you're rational for the purpose of making decisions. After all, if you're currently 100% irrational, then you're going to make 100% nonsensical decisions, and that's all there is to it. It doesn't really matter what you believe or disbelieve, so it doesn't hurt to falsely believe that you're rational. And there no point hedging on any action on the chance that you're being irrational, because the idea that "if i'm irrational, it's best to take/not take action X" is itself validated by rationality.

That said, there are degrees between complete rationality and complete irrationality. In dreams you're often still partly rational, and you can also get a sort of replica of rationality by training yourself to follow specific thought patterns during times when you are mostly rational (i.e. awakeness). So it is theoretically possible to hedge based on the possibility that you're dreaming – albeit not very useful, since making bad decisions in a dream doesn't usually have any serious long-term effects. However, if you want to narrow things down to more specific possibilities than "I'm dreaming" – as you get to scenarios in which you're hypothetically being less and less rational, it becomes less and less useful to hedge on those scenarios.
The Cult of Reason
I have read only about half of the paper. It is written in a very compelling style, though I get the impression that the authors have an axe to grind.

However, to play the devil's advocate for a bit, standardized tests such as PISA and TIMSS are taken as uncontested measure for the quality of an education system. If you believe in the _social constructionist_ view (as presented in the paper), then obviously you would reject such tests as a valid measure just as you reject them when used in education. Clearly, an education system that is _not_ focused - and excuse the simplification - on making students learn a defined, common set of facts, is never going to do well on tests. You could argue that this is by design, because the real goal of education is to (?) make students question the "social construct"(?)[0]

The question at this point would then be whether Swedish students are doing well on other dimensions - are they competitive on the labor market, do they live happy lives?

To make it clear where I am standing: I believe that in order to question anything intelligently, you need a strong and broad base of facts to base your criticism on. I do not think there is a way around memorizing at least for part of the subjects. I benefit at this point of my life of basic knowledge in many areas that I _had_ to study during my education and had no interest or inclination for - I would never have chosen for example to study the basics of civil or contract law, which was a mandatory part of my somewhat quantitative BSc course, but the concepts I learned were very helpful in practice when dealing with employers, landlords, banks, etc.

I think to ask children to find their own interests and "question things critically" - which I guess boils down to expressing individual likes and dislikes if arguing based on facts is not part of it - at that young age deprives them of learning about the structure and rules of society, and about the choices you have available. How do you know you are interested in biology if you have not seen it somewhat in depth?

[0] Making this up; it is not clear to me if the social constructivist' take on education makes even the basic promise of preparing students for life, whereas in traditional fact-based education the promise is clear: learn facts that will help you at work and in life.
Chronic stress is problematic. The body regularly experience spikes in stress.

Stress tends to increase cortisol, which results in precursor (progesterone/pregnenolone) depletion. Progesterone/pregnenolone also become DHEA, testosterone, etc. If the body doesn't have enough raw material to produce needed hormones, many issues can accumulate.

Cortisol tends to slow thyroid function, lead to increased estrogens, and put the body in a state of degeneration. Brief states of degeneration and halting of healing/renewal processes are fine, as it's necessary to produce flight/flight energy. On the other hand, the body isn't able to heal/build if sustained.
The right way to look at it is that workers already on state support are people who already have a bare minimum wage lower than which they won't get out of bed for. i.e Amazon would have had to pay LESS if the state support didn't exist.

There is no touchbar on MB, so they could not been offered that.
It has been my experience that most management are not technical enough. They are often business oriented. As such when technical issues occur, they cannot push the techies to fix it, not explain to upper management what is wrong.

Most techies do not have enough business understanding to see where the real goal is. We also enjoy working out problems to the extreme degree. We are often to close to the trees to see the forest. Typically this results in too much time spent arguing tabs verses (those nasty) spaces. Techies often waste a lot of time on analysis paralysis.

Also most techies, especially if they are good, have no desire to become managers.

Cure:
Goals and accountability. If things are not going as planned have the engineers write up Monthly / weekly / daily goals, and provide on the same timely basis the results. Do not schedule weekly meetings. At some point they will bitch they are spending all of their time writing up this crap (I would bitch the loudest). Consider having the team lead provide for each person their daily / weekly goals.

Poor logic. Without state support or food stamps Walmart or Amazon would pay the lower wage employees even less - because the food stamps establish a minimum bar which the employees can expect. Without that support, the market for low wage employees would be even more competitive resulting in lower wages

> Inequality started to get bad around 1980 or so.

Do you mean returned to being bad? Inequality was much greater leading up to the great depression. The great depression wiped out a lot of the inequality that had existed. Once that had passed, and the economy restored to a more stable state, the inequality naturally came back.

By all accounts, 2008 probably should have been another depression that would have helped wipe out that inequality again. But it seems not even those on the losing end of that inequality are comfortable with living through the conditions that the equalization process results in, and thus we, as a society, took steps to maintain the status quo.

Your comment is a day old already, but I'll reply anyway.

Can you elaborate what you mean with anxiety and distractedness?

I've switched from developer to product owner, and then back to developer after two years. The problems I'm having with my role came back instantly.

I'm anxious that I'm not good enough, taking too long for everything, not smart enough to understand complex existing code that I have to modify.

This anxiety alone keeps me from properly focusing on the job at hand. And the more time pressure there is, the worse my focus becomes, because I feel I have no time to understand everything properly and have to hurry, which only leads to a worse solution and more problems in the end.

Add to this the 'normal' distractions of working in an open plan office.

Listening to other people's experiences sometimes helps. Yesterday I watched Sandi Metz' talk "All the little things", and also reading about Clean Code in general, and about imposter syndrome sometimes help me think that it's not really my fault and that I'm at least an average developer.

Then again, I'm also prone to asking too much of myself and being overly ambitious, also with sports, nutrition, life in general, so I'm not really content with being an average developer.

But being 40 already, I feel like it's already too late to become really good at anything, when I have 20-year-old colleagues who are already presumably better than me, despite me having 10 years experience in various roles and companies.

And then there's so many things that I could improve in, systems architecture, frameworks, backend, frontend, databases, OOP principles, learning new languages etc, that I don't even know where to start and the whole endeavour seems futile already.

That's when I ponder quitting the dev role again and switching into something else, but how often can I do that before my CV looks like patchwork and nobody will hire me because they don't really know what role I'm actually qualified for?

That's my struggle, anyway. Having worked as a developer for quite some time, but not really feeling like one.

> building a shell on top of Python seems like a particualar bad choice to me

can you say why? Python's stdlib handles a lot of cross-platforminess, Python is mostly easy to write, and is available as or more easily than a C compiler on many platforms.
Well... Talking as European my answer is "it's depend".

Degrees and school solve different problems: degrees serve as a way to "know enough" about someone otherwise unknown to assign a job, also solve some legal problem in that process; schools are a way to spread not only knowledge per se (notionism) but also to transmit a paradigm, a way to grow personal knowledge.

So, without a degree you may encounter "bureaucratic" problems/obstacles or at least "suspect" in your work's career. Without a school you can learn MANY things, perhaps more than that you can learn at school in the same time, but it's hard to say if you can learn them with a good ontological method or not. At school it's the same: if you encounter a good teacher you may learn good paradigms not only "know how", otherwise you may only lost time and eventually money (depending on your's country education system).

Also even if you are lucky you still need experience, not only paradigms and mere knowledge.

The way and the order/time you'll follow to get them... Well it's really individual, not standardizable, so you can't IMVHO get ANY generally valid answer. You know ingredients, how to combine them it's your's personal recipe to be build accordingly to your personal taste, kitchen, tools and time you have and want.

For the rest, in my experience USA/UK/English-world school in general tend to be too notionistic, they tend to form "skilled Ford model workers" not real "technician" or "autonomous thinking guys, European ones tent to be too detached from the real world so they form "autonomous thinking children" they need to grow in the "outside"/real world for some years after. Also in the USA/English world it's generally more valued experience/history than competence mostly because it's easier to check than really get to know someone. In EU world it's more valued traditional qualifications...

As a bottomline: it doen't really matter how much effort you put if you do not really want to do something so if you force yourself in a school or in autonomous learning results will still be poor. You need to desire and need something to really accomplish it. So to say that if you can, as you can, it's better to follow your dream not a pre-defined path by someone else. it may not be ideal, it may not produce better result but being you'r own path it will make you more free and happy than anything else.

Sorry for my English, not my motherlanguage...
Ideally, a chain of ongoing trust signs that a validation occurred before the cert expired. For example, the owner of a laptop could sign an initial validation and continue to trust the firmware was authentic and not backdated after perhaps the original certificate expired and then its key length gradually became factorable.

It is rather hard to handle code signing and backdating problems purely in software without either removing the benefit of expiration or requiring someone to go sign for the legitimacy of a lot of things they only sort of trust. This has been comming up a lot with git signing and key lifetimes too.
This. People often have a beef with the very wild npm ecosystem with tons of libs of varying quality, abandonned projects, bloated libs, etc but mostly it comes down to the standard library being anemic.
