I studied at UWaterloo and had many internships from 2007-2010 for which I forget the pay I was making, but I remember all of my full-time amounts (I started with around 2 years of work experience):

2012-2013: RIM/Blackberry in Waterloo, Canada: CAD 70,000, no bonus or stock, 15 days of vacation or so, 40h per week, software developer

2014-2016: YourGolfTravel in London, UK: GBP 41,000 first year, GBP 43,000 second year, no bonus or stock, 20 days vacation or so, 40h per week, software developer

2016-2017: Green Chef in Mountain View, California: USD 125,000 first year, USD 135,000 when I got promoted to team lead in mid 2017, $8k worth of stock options (post round B I believe, ~0.04%), "unlimited vacation", really crap health insurance, 40h per week with some long days from being on-call with time-off-in-lieu given, software developer

2017-present: software developer & architect at TELUS digital in Toronto, Canada, for not less than I was paid in the US
Alcohol also impacts cognitive function as well. Both in the moment and for days after.
The argument is that in this case support for Trump is support for discrimination, in a way that's very distinct from "normal" conservativism.
Smoke once and it will be detectable in your body for weeks, drink once and no one will ever detect it in a linear number of hours after. The body has enzymes for alcohol, but non for pot. Drinking too much too often is another problem, of course.
For all of us who recoil at the idea of any censorship at all, how do we grapple with the possibility that the Internet spreads more disinformation than truth? If that’s the actual conclusion, what do we do then?

Edit: Stated more accurately as a proposition, the Internet spreads enough disinformation to undo the good brought about by the true information that it also spreads.
Ask HN: Why Aren't GLinux and Goobuntu Open Source?
Google uses gLinux and Goobuntu for its computers which are derived from Linux but they haven't given the code back to opensource (couldn't find it). Is it okay to use Open Source software to build something but keep it to yourself?

The word itself implies more experience than others. More experience is usually correlated to length of your tenure. But yes I agree, other qualities of senior developers include what you wrote.

Just being a devils advocate here: I was 14 leading the school programming club and I thought I solved really difficult issue setting up gentoo. Senior at 14?
We should move towards the elimination of all drugs.

Prohibition has worked wonderfully well for tobacco in many countries, cutting consumption in half and even more.
Basically what Apple and Microsoft have found out, it suffices to offer a POSIX CLI for UNIX "desktop" users.
Legalization mostly works in the way that more people consume it. (punishing the use does not lead anywhere either).
It’s all relative. I pay $30/year for a shared hosting service. It runs a ton of different sites and software (anything supported by cpanel basically).

So doubling that price for just blogging is out for me. But it’s cool if you, and others like it and are willing to pay. I wish OP best of luck.
I like what you've described but how different is that from just including jQuery to add some dynamicism to your page? Which, BTW, is what I think JS should really be used for.

Why even allow a "Paid For By" as an option to everyone. I imagine for all senators, Facebook has an ad rep that has been assigned to their media strategy team. That rep could then assign a user or group of users that are known ad buyers for the senator and flip a switch in the background that adds the "Paid For By" message.
We have done much better. Look at tobacco usage. It hasn't plummeted because it was outlawed.

I don't think we'd necessarily get the same plummet with marijuana, because the health story isn't quite as uniformly bad, and I get the sense that pot users don't get as acclimated as cigarette users, who seem to be smoking not to feel good but to avoid withdrawal. (Just on the drug's own terms, tobacco is a really bad deal; the ratio of "high" to harm is just atrocious. If it wasn't so addictive nobody would use it on a regular basis.) But we could probably get some improvement if the messaging got more realistic. And by "improvement" I don't just mean "less", but better; less adolescents smoking some of their most important cognitive years away, more people using THC for correct medicinal uses, and if one chooses to smoke it recreationally, better informed choices.

I'm in favor of legalization, because marijuana prohibition is not as bad as alcohol prohibition was, but it's the same sort of thing even if less of it. I still plan on telling my children quite strongly the best move is not to play.
I don't think it's about changing minds. If you look at the OP, it's about letting people participate on a specific discussion channel about gaming without being harassed, (either explicitly or implicitly) for their origin, gender, etc.

Changing people's minds, as you mention, is a different problem entirely.

The problem is that there is a lot of immaturity within the JS world at the moment. And that makes the complexity go "BOOM".

Thing about it. Should things really get more complex just because we are moving more of the computation to the client rather than having it sit at the server? Done right it remains the same.
Thanks. Yes indeed, C# with a dash of cloud/big data.
Any additional evidence (either for or against) the claim that government pays for tech advances, while the private sector is who sees a return from that?
Looks like all the previous linked threads received fewer votes than this one and no more than two comments. No reason to close this as a dupe, then.
I just upvoted your comment because it is the truth and most probably you will be heavily downvoted for not being mainstream :)
I worked for the British Medical Journal a while ago which had 120 years of articles digitised, along with several different medical databases, with around a dozen different applications utilising this content in various ways. It was basically all stored internally as XML using the Documentum/xDB CMS/XML database stack, with lots of XSLT used to generate content for different apps and in different formats.

Not at all the easiest system to work with, but it does allow you to handle a lot of structured data such that you need the minimum amount of customisation possible - which is still a lot!
Legalizing is doing better.

Also society doesn't has the right to keep some drugs illegal while keeping others legal.

Stop criminalising someone who chose another drug than you prefer.

Illegal should it be when it harms others.

Low cost of living checking in, primarily due to food and housing, which are ~50% and ~15-20% of the Bay Area respectively. A <$950 mortgage payment for a house with a yard is a huge QOL boost.

Started professional software dev in 2010 after freelancing for $45, raise/promotion to low $50's before getting a new job for $72, raise/promotion to high $70's before getting a new job for $98, promotion to $115 + 10% discretionary/performance bonus. All web development to start, last promotion put me in architecture/pseudo-management roles that includes more backend systems and integrations. Tech roles at my current job top out in the low to mid $130's + 10%, non-Exec management seems to be in the $125-185 range but obviously that info is pretty hard to get reliably. If you don't have any desires to be in management or architecture roles and you just want to be in your IDE coding all day, you can get to $90-100k reliably, and in this area that's enough to max out your 401k, a Roth IRA, and save.

I'd love to move to a city and get companies on my resume that people have heard of outside of a 30 mile radius, but SF/NYC are nonstarters as they'd be a 50%+ effective pay cut, and even the less mainstream ones like Chicago, Boston, Dallas, San Diego would be 30% or more.

2001: BigCo $76,000/year + $20,000 signing bonus (first job out of school)

2007: Freelancing between $100-$200/hr depending on project

2012: Startup #1 $180,000/year + $75,000 signing bonus + a bit of stock that's never been worth anything (but I exercised upon leaving and paid a lot of taxes on, so I'm net negative ~$300k)

2015: Startup #2 $240,000/year + lots of stock that's never been worth anything

Some thoughts on equity and BigCos vs. Startups:

Before going to Startup #1 I rejected offer of ~$2MM RSUs at BigCo #2 (since split, now worth ~$15MM) and offer of ~$2MM RSU at BigCo #3 (now worth ~$10MM) in order to join what looked like a sure thing. Got another offer from BigCo #2 a few years later for ~$1MM RSUs (now worth $4MM).

My peers that went to BigCos have done far, far better than me financially. All are above $500k/year in total comp, and quite a few above $1MM/year due to FAANG stocks going up so much.

Startup compensation math just doesn't work when you're competing against the BigCos these days. Liquidity horizons are ~10 years for the few successes that work out, the equity portions are meager (esp after dilution). Even ignoring the risk of no liquidity event, you still come out behind what the big companies are paying these days.

I'll probably never join a startup again, but if I do, all salary assumptions assume an equity value of zero.
I imagine that a lot of successful people you know right now smoke pot and don't tell you about it.
That would be a ridiculous rule for RPG.net. RPG settings and stories often have social commentary inspired by real-world issues, and occasionally even blatant stand-ins for real-life political parties and figures.
Exactly. Saying "I like the recently passed tax cuts" is different than saying "I support President Trump." The first is supporting a conservative policy decision, the second is supporting a person who would be banned from the forums themselves if they talked the way they do in real life as comments on the site.
OP probably just didn’t know the term to search for was “MVC”.
I definitely agree. A gun on your person isn't going to stop the bullets you don't see. The robber or psycho will always have the drop on you. If you watch the Youtube channel "Active Self Protection", he goes over tons of scenarios caught on camera and a lot of them DO NOT end well even if the victim is armed. And THEN if the victim does manage to defend themselves they can end up dealing with legal issues afterwards even if they never fire their weapon. Even pulling a pistol is technically assault with a deadly weapon in most cities and if you don't follow the rules you can go to jail for a long time.
Found the Facebook employee. This clearly demonstrates their priorities and applied technical competence around the matter.
then ban harassment, racism, etc. Banning support for a politician is not a proxy for those things.
If they ban all politics equally I'm all for it. Off topic moderation. Seeing American politics being hawked everywhere is rather tiresome. Makes me appreciate what Canada has to go through every day.
These seem like they would be unbelievably tiring to actually hold and read (horizontally.) What's the advantage supposed to be over the mentioned Pocket Books short newsstand paperback format? Why can't we just have those back, and with them 500+ page books being published as multiple volumes? I've always been an objector to the growth of massive softcovers; I thought they were an excuse to increase unit cost.
I don't keep paystubs, but I've kept every one of my IRS w-2 forms. It should be possible to pro-rate the total compensation from approximate hire/leave dates, if I need to.
I feel like something went a bit wierd with my wages compared so some people here.

Not level - that's about geography and company and other factors. But in progression.

I have never asked for or recieved a pay rise, although I have been offered retention money.

#1 There's a variety of goofy primary systems. One could argue that approval voting is the logical conclusion of top-two or jungle primaries.

#3 Public financing reforms have thus far been a bottom-up effort.

As for #2, we'll see. The backlash to social media is pretty intense. There's an opportunity in there some where.
> The fact that alcohol and tobacco are legal doesn't mean we should legalise all drugs that are somewhat healthier than alcohol and tobacco. I think we can do much better.

You're right. We can do better. I think it shows our hypocrisy. Nobody should get a fine or go to prison for possession of drugs. I think what we should focus on is distribution/sale of controlled substances without a proper label.

I don't do drugs so maybe I am out of touch but this is my opinion. Possession of anything should not be a crime (improper storage of hazardous material is a different story).

If you insist on sending people to prison for smoking pot, you might as well get ready to send me to prison for eating too much candy.
And? It is not your choice to tell me if I wanna get buzzed or not.

I don't mind others smoking. I mind wrong advertising, advertising to kids, cigarettbutts, the stink etc.

While other posters comment that "Clojure still works", IIRC the "promise" was that Clojure/Lisp would be much, much more productive, and that claim I feel like must been disproved in daily work, otherwise Clojure would still a main topic around here.

Jep you're right. It's doing something with 64k JFIF application segments ... wtf.

Well, it's still using the trick I pointed out, placing the ZIP file index at the end.

So from one viewpoint it's a JFIF("jpg") file with large application segments containing the zipfile data for the shakespeare.part0xx.rar files.

From another viewpoint, from the back of the file. It's a incremental zip file (not compressed in one go), with the garbage bytes (the "overwritten") bytes in the zipfile updates forming a valid JFIF file.

Ah, dus ~4% "jaarbonus" naast 8% vakantiegeld. Nog niet eerder gezien, is dat gebruikelijk? Je krijgt 56% belasting over bonussen toch? Kunnen ze het niet beter in je salaris stoppen, zodat je gewoon "normaal" (42%?) belastingtarief betaalt?
What if a political opponent's main platform position and primary rhetorical tactic is to make discriminatory statements? You can't just turn around and say "don't ban me, it's just politics!".
And also let's not forget that about everyone with big psychological problems in my peer group started to smoke early on (and developed mental health problems later).

I know it says little, but don't have any stats comparing just IT jobs. This was the best I could do and I think it does get the message across.

The more vacation / paid days off per year definitely doesn't cover the (entire) wage disparity. But it helps. I don't know many Americans that get every 2nd Friday off (36hours workweek) while it is commonplace in NL, as well as simply taking August off by default.

I'm not saying salaries in the US aren't higher. They are! But I just hope my explanation covers some of the "mind boggling" part of how European salaries are lower.
to point 2, I'd say anywhere in Central America is like that as well.

Hey, I really like your essay, and especially how you just list out the facts without editorializing. I learned a lot reading it. It would make a really great book to read with some more details and some editing.

If you want to start an organization, first step I think would be to find a discussion platform that doesn't require you to sign into Google :)
Ads are more effective when they try to make the receiver feel inadequate. The vast majority of human interaction doesn’t have that goal.
Because I don't have four years to get something done, that doesn't do what I want when I finally get it, if it even works at all, and that I can't fix myself.

Okay, that was extreme, and if you think I was talking about programming, it's because you have a guilty conscience. ;-) It actually applies to all interesting fields -- programming, engineering, management, classical music composition, etc. Those fields don't even know what their best practices are, and acknowledge that things take too long and can't be managed. No manager would say: "Our programmers have best practices, so the work will be done next week." Why should scientists have such faith?

Meanwhile, do you trust Maxwell's Equations, Darwinian evolution, quantum mechanics, etc.? How did we establish the physical constants to mostly better than 8 digits of precision? Science has somehow figured out how to make progress despite the messy business of research.

For me, it's not that I "have" to do programming, but that physical science has been computation driven since before the 1940s. Programming is how I think and work. With apologies to Richelieu, "programming is too important to be left to the programmers."
We should also tell them not to drink alcohol.
And they were available in the US about 5 years ago as "flipback books". I have John le Carré's "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" in the format.
