There's a soft way to ask for it. You basically point out that your manager is at risk of loosing you. Note that you need to understand both how much you bring to the team from your manager's perspective as well as your manager's budget considerations.

It's possible you outgrew the position altogether and the group you're in isn't interested in what you've become, at least not at that price. Or it's possible that what you've become is truly worth it to the team and replacing you with someone new would noticeably set the team back.

Nice. I’ve been planning to rewrite `readelf(1)` in Nim, I’ll check out your code for some pointers :)
Two solutions: 1. add a timestamp as a field, and just use the ID, but in that case range queries are going to be a problem. 2. exactly because of what you stated, XADD will soon have a special argument to say: I'm going to insert an element in the middle: this is the time in milliseconds (find for me the counter part if I did not specify one). Could be confusing for streaming, but as a data structure to insert in the middle is spot-on and there is nothing preventing that.
Really? I've had almost the exact opposite experience.

I've only encountered a handful of situations where someone went out their way to bad mouth someone else to a potential employer. Out of those, only one or two instances swayed the decision maker.

To OP - it's certainly possible that you were indeed bad mouthed. However, the chance of one disgruntled person's opinion affecting someone's hiring decision is pretty slim.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Anyone who takes a strangers word about someone else over forming their own opinion is probably not someone you want to work for anyway.

Hey. In your C code, you write to memory beyond what you malloc'd. You malloc'd 9 bytes for 'pw', but later do "pw[9] = '\0'", which accesses the 10th byte, which doesn't belong to you.

Also, these _were_ just recreational airsoft guns, very comparable paintball. Lots of people play airsoft and paintball for fun in their spare time. Yea, you're supposed to have goggles on, and point blank shots are frowned on 'cause they hurt more, but it's not all that bad. Sure you might end up with some bruising and broken skin particularly with close range shots to exposed skin, but I'll still play in shorts and tshirt on a hot day and if I get lit up on exposed skin, meh, at least I'm not sweating as much. For the guys running these trainings who are used to shooting each other with paintballs fired from real firearms, airsoft is consumer grade toys, one step above nerf guns. This situation is like having a cross training day between the competitive cagefighting gym and the over 50 cardio kickboxing class...there's just _so_ much potential for that to go poorly.
I mean for things like CDs and savings accounts, JPM Coin is irrelevant. I'm concerned more if JPM decides to use JPM Coin for higher-risk activities. What happens if they decide they would treat a supply of JPM Coin as a supply of USD, with the knowledge that if things go south, they could change the value of the pegged psuedo-currency and get a slap on the wrist?

Every bank could then conceivably be a central bank, except as a central bank that is profit-driven.
> I really want to see an introspective, single-user, programming-centric, graphical operating system that isn’t dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.

Hit the nail on the head.

Things are impossibly complex and convoluted nowadays. And working against us more often than not -- as you said.

It feels like we really need to start over. All the way down to the CPU and GPU hardware architecture.
> Isn't programming a skill that can be learned alone in a fairly straightforward manner?

No?

Stuff like pointers, for loops, threads, interface design, data structures, idempotency, source control, working on a linux command line, etc. all present reasonably challenging roadblocks for a burgeoning developer, and I think many of us benefited from having someone around to help walk us through this the first time.
but I don't see how you are debating me!

I mostly agree, but that's my argument :)

> If Haskell was truly free of any state, this would be impossible to guarantee.

I was never claming that haskell was free of state, i was claiming the opposite! That state and purity are not mutually exclusive, they just result in constructions like monad.

Not to diminish your good intentions and the obviously profitable experiences that you've gained, but I would be hesitant to recommend voluntourism without any qualifications.

There are obviously benefits to the people who go, but there is also potential of harm to the communities visited -- more so than just the usual tourism -- in the name of doing good. Skilled/educational trips like medical missions that provide relief and sustainable/appropriate skills transmission to providers in the local community tend to be the most positive/neutral, but efforts like helping to rebuild schools, etc. with volunteers who have no specific expertise tend to be problematic.

(issues include depriving livelihood from local builders, badly rebuilt buildings owing to lack of skill that have to be rebuilt, creating a culture of dependency, damage caused to the dignity of providers in local communities, the constant impermanency of relationships can especially affect children in the local community, etc.).

Many thoughtful missions organizations are aware of these issues and try to plan missions trips that mitigate such harm. There's a book called "When Helping Hurts" [1] that guides a lot of the new thinking in this space. Again good intentions are laudable, and we should not be dissuaded from doing good in the world, but acting with discernment and wisdom ensures that actual good, and not harm, is done in the visited communities.

I use really thin 1 ply scott tp that come with 1000 sheets per roll. It actually works pretty good, but I guess for drying from bidets, it gets saturated quickly compared to more luxury tp, so you have to use more.

Maybe if I used the good stuff it would not take a lot. Also TP is a compostable and renewable resource, so I wouldn't worry that much about it's usage.
I know there was talk of a lot of hiring in the financal sector of bitcon guys, talk of culture mismatches, and folks leaving.... makes you wonder.
I've been in the same situation and I cringe about it. I am a Latino but white because I am from Argentina where people are mostly from European backgrounds. It seems that "Latino" is meant to mean a specific group of Latinos actually and not the whites ones but technically with the word "Latino" I also qualify. But I would like to hear them tell me to my face why I am not a Latino.
The mention of 81 exchanges left me thinking: If none of the trading was fake, but then I created a single exchange literally named "ScamCo Faketrading Exchange" which claimed 1 petatrades per second were happening on its platform, then would this analysis say that >99% of all trades were fake?

I think it would.

I don't think any of the exchanges that I could have named off the top of my head were on their naughty list (paywall is keeping me from loading it again to check), ... so it seems to me that this report might be a bit overstated.
> The gender disparity in software development is well documented, and should be fixed. No one should be discouraged from learning, or opportunities denied because of gender.

I can tell you why. In part, it's explicit sexism and goal keeping from men, sure. But a far bigger reason there are less women in tech?

Step into any engineering course at a 4 year university. Come back and tell me how many women where in your class. Get the picture?

Of COURSE there are less women in engineering jobs. They are less women in engineering classes! So while there are definitely sexism problems, far BIGGER issues exist with reforming gender roles CULTURALLY.

Women should be encouraged from a young age to pursue science if it interests them. They should not be given artificial leg ups to help balance a problem which will never go away without addressing the root cause.
We are going to have an option to XADD to insert elements in the middle. I commented more extensively about it in another reply, so inserting out of order later will be possible. However note that the pattern still works when you use a time as a field, you don't need range queries, but just want single-item identifiers. However the XADD option to insert out of order is really a thing that will hit Redis ASAP.

You have a few valid points. But the way this topic is discussed is that if you even _question_ vaccine safety you are a complete nutter.

The fact that companies don't want that label is evidence that vaccine safety is not being discussed rationally, but with a mob mentality.

This is how I think we end up with 1984, through mobs and irrationality, not thoughtful discussion.
> surely you've heard of college dormitories?

Of course I have (I explicitly mentioned them in my first comment). But are you volunteering to move back into your college dorm room right now? No? Why not? Reasonable people do live there, right?

> SROs are best considered temporary housing, but it absolutely is still housing.

So, I partially agree. Calling an SRO "temporary housing" is totally fine by me. But if, by your own admission, they're 'best considered temporary housing', then it's not really housing, is it?

If my home burns down, so I move into an extended-stay hotel, I'm still homeless, despite being in a hotel room. That hotel room does not mean I am no longer homeless, just because I'm living out of it. If I run out of money for the hotel room, so I start living out of my car, my car does not count as "housing", just because I'm living out of that instead.

> but there should definitely be a place for very low-cost housing options like SROs even if we can build more studios or 1-bedroom units in the future.

This is where I wholeheartedly disagree -- the studio and 1-bed units should be those very low-cost housing options.

It's one thing to use SROs in places where we don't want to fully respect human autonomy (like College Dorms, or Hotels, or similar). But these are not replacements for housing, they are only temporary placeholders at best.

Port-a-pottys work because they are temporary toilets. We don't use port-a-potty's as a long-term solution to sanitation, we build real bathrooms instead. For the same reason, why would we burn money building SROs for poor/working-class people, when what we really need is long-term housing?

Or in general, why is everyone so quick to devalue the importance of quality housing? As the OP put it, why are we so quick to push ideas that "no middle class person would accept".
Indeed, the power of your arguments and criticisms is inversely proportional to the insults attached to them.

Pure means that when you don't use consumer groups, there is no hidden state at all, and they are just a boring data structure like everything else in Redis. Only if you use the messaging part they have state, but this is an accessory part like a shell on top of what is otherwise exactly a vanilla data structure.

You're absolutely right that free market doesn't mean your choices are exempt from criticism. That isn't my point, nor where I applied 'Free Market'.

My point was: If you're going to argue against this donation, saying that it fuels the trend of reverse racism / sexism that makes the free market more distorted, I would argue that this donation is very much a part of the free market. Private donations to private organizations for private causes.

If I read this correctly, what you're saying is:

* Implicit discrimination is bad. I'm saying: To use that as a guide for your actions you need to have an implicit discrimination detector able to account for all the confounding variables.

* Explicit discrimination is also bad. I'm saying: As a corollary, there should not be explicit 'X need not apply' policies.

* Two wrongs make a right.

> so if you have to do it, you'd better love it in the first place.

Depends on how much you think anything else sucks. Compared to physical labor you're not breaking your back over things.

Compared to other jobs you get paid relatively ok (EU centric view).

Compared to some jobs the hours aren't that crazy: hey McKinsey folk! How are you doing? :D

Really, it isn't that simple. It depends.

It helps if you like it, but a job is a job and if you can perform it, then why do you need to like it?

Moreover, did you ever read about the overjustification effect [0]? Long story short, if you like something, you might dislike it after you get paid for it.

Also, if you love programming you might be biased in always solving a problem in a technical way. You'd become that guy from the LEGO movie that always screams "SPACESHIP!" [2]

Full disclosure: I like programming and sometimes can force myself into loving it [1]. The consequences of loving programming: no social life, no normal diet, sleep rhythm is off. I'm basically just doing one thing as much as possible: programming.

My GF demonstrated an aptitude for STEM at an early age. She received an enormous amount of pressure to continue down that track despite not being interested in it as a career.

Your claim may have been true at one time, but I don't think it has been for awhile now.

*Edit: In response to your paper: It looks like it's a research paper, not a study, written almost 20 years ago, referencing material that was ~10 years old at the time of its publication. It well may have been true, but the time the original research was collected (in the 90s) is about the time I'd argue a major cultural shift happened.
Is there a value in "agents" for tech talent. (I seem to remember `toptal` trying to position itself like that).

Now that 500K is in the reach of SREs at Facebook, it seems worthwhile to get someone in to negotiate on that SREs behalf. Or is the "stupid high salary" world just too small?
You still only tasted the bureaucracy annoyance. For visiting the USA you have that plus the problems of being turned away by sheer caprice of the border agent. In the end you still are being treated much better all things considered.
tntn already pointed out that there are legitimate scientific concerns about vaccines, and no one is calling the scientists who work on those concerns "anti-vaxxers."

I understand your concern, but context matters. A trained scientist conducting rigorous research is treated differently from a random person with a blog and a GoFundMe, even if the latter tries to hang their anti-vaccine hat on something the scientist says.
Different people learn in different ways and I think you are undervaluing how a good teacher and some structure can accelerate that process.

> What the article proposes is like having a development team that has 100% time to pursue their interests and build whatever they like to show to the business to develop new business capability.

I didn't get this from the article. My interpretation was that rather than having a DS team with specialized roles sitting outside of product/engineering, companies should locate DS generalists within product teams. I.e., push data competency closest to the teams working with the problems + data, and as the DS learns where ML can be applied, the entire team can deliver. In a DS-as-specialist structure, you'd have to locate several roles on a product team to achieve results (or co-locate them and deal with overhead).

The article confuses by claiming "the goal... is not to execute", but in context, it's clear that it's a criticism of process efficiency myopia, not of product delivery.

And the word "research" only appears in the article in a negative connotation. “Develop profound new business capabilities” doesn't mean the research of new models, but instead the application of existing techniques to business processes (e.g. a model that can reasonably predict user churn based on sentiment analysis of messages sent on your platform would be profound).
In much of silicon valley, the goal is equal outcomes not equal opportunity. Often times explicitly unequal opportunity is necessary to achieve equal outcomes.
Just from a logistics perspective hardware is harder than software to make profitable, and robots as a business involves a lot of hardware. More things have to go right, fewer things have to go wrong, etc. You rely on an entire supply chain to get things mostly right mostly on time, and that supply chain is mostly out of your control; you can have strong contracts, you can line up multiple suppliers for each part, you can vet them carefully, but at the end of the day you're tossing the dice that they'll deliver.

I've been working with a robotics startup for the past few months, and I'm often struck by how much extra stuff has to come together to deliver the product (in our case, we have to integrate with phone and elevator systems, have to deal with various regulatory compliance in every country we ship to, etc.). The sales pipeline is also long and expensive, involving shipping out multi-thousand dollar devices for evaluations, sending people out to demo the devices, etc. It's a production involving a half dozen people and thousands of dollars worth of resources to make every single sale.

So, yes, I think they are harder than some kinds of businesses. At least an order of magnitude harder than software. Though, because of it, the competitive landscape is somewhat smaller...robots are cool, so a lot of people want to work on them, so there's more than the market will support, but it's less pronounced than, say, the mobile app market in terms of competition for customers.
>I'm curious as to why you are so wrapped up in law enforcement, and not in common decency

That's a fair interpretation based on my phrasing, but I would like to further qualify my point that outside of enforcing bylaws, it is also the decent and moral thing for local governments not to allow people with mental illness and drug problems to languish in the streets, tents and encampments.

>Fixing this problem starts with humanizing the homeless and proposing coherent solutions

The problem is that activists have completely hijacked policy. Attempting to institutionalize a homeless person with severe mental illness leads to boycotts, lawsuits and FUD from activists. It has gotten to the point that even immediate families cannot take those individuals off the streets and into institutional care.
It makes a lot of sense to prefer to think about the real problem.

Years ago at school my group wrote a ray tracer from scratch, after a few months we noticed that the vector class had an inverted scalar operation. The program worked, because we had inverted the entire vector space as we had just fixed the code until it worked.

After fixing the vector class most of the other formulas in the program started to look more reasonable :)
