Worked for one of these companies and I’m honestly surprised they don’t kill more people. Most of the time I go to a doctor using the one I work on I apologize, and frequently have to help them with a bug or nonsense interface thing. I recently had to get an MRI and forgot to watch the screen while doc was filling out an order. I would have noticed the form not save the second half appropriately (was an existing bug from when I worked there that I wanted to fix but was told no). Ended up delaying my head MRI for a couple weeks. Good thing it turns out there was nothing wrong. Learned my lesson about not giving up arguments where the other person insists a bug is “intended behavior.”
"a variety of perspectives" was mentioned. This variety, I'm assuming, includes how the majority of people view the one topic you threw out.

I'm getting the impression that you believe that having that opinion on that topic should disqualify someone from any important role. Am I correct?
Very cool response!
It really depends on your Forth environment. The language is a great one for bootstrapping an operating environment since a small blob can define basic routines and building blocks for more complicated operations.

The language is a dynamic synthesis of incremental compiler and Basic Input/Output System where more generic and cross implementation concepts can be added or re-defined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)

Skimming this I don't see any actual reference to a standard method for accessing a filesystem, I suppose in cases where a filesystem is relevant there'd either need to be a driver for that written in native forth, or a host operating system which could be called via a syscall of somekind.

I expect Forth to be used in different contexts, but mostly in this order: extremely low level (high performance in L1 cache execution), early boot (a slower / read only FS driver is fine), or toy / experiment / prototyping (syscalls might be good enough). Anything else can probably afford to be written in a more easily maintained language.

One benefit of the early boot context is that, in theory, a minimal compatibility standard could be written and one 'interpreted' (hooks on to the definitions of functions already in the context stack) driver could function on vastly different hardware as long as it didn't actually use native assembly.
> ...so they start making changes just to they can slap something on their resume. Developers do that too some extent...

To some extent? Sometimes I feel like that's the only thing that developers do.
I am also self-taught, and I dropped out of school after three semesters, having taken no CS courses. It's difficult to use my experience as a reference, since that was 25 years ago, and I have consistently prioritized meaningful/interesting work over compensation in my career choices; but I have never had any trouble getting hired on at the companies I wanted to work for, including places which have the reputation of caring a lot about degrees. My impression is that degrees get you in the door but stop mattering after you're 5-8 years into your career, provided you've managed to pick up basic CS concepts at some point (big-O, graphs, all the stuff people love to hate about tech interviews).
I did the same thing. Spent 10 years as a c++ developer with no degree. Then got out for 10+ years as I was burned out and did a variety of non programming things. Eventually wanted to get into web development at 37. I had not even coded anything outside of VBA office macros for 10 years. Started learning and applying. It took 8 months to even land an interview, but I landed the job attached to that interview at 38. Took a job making not much money at all and kept it for 2 years. Traded up to another job with a 50% raise and now I'm a software team lead.

Its hard, but doable. Just make sure you are constantly practicing for when you get the interview. Build things to show off what you can do.
Depression is a symptom, not a disease. If the underlying cause is long-lasting, then you're stuck on the meds forever e.g. bipolar disorder is a chronic disease and requires mood stabilizers (and, in type II, antidepressants) to be taken indefinitely. But in the case of treatable or temporary conditions like PTSD, anti-depressants can just be used to reduce symptoms while other treatments are under way.

Major Depressive Disorder is a specific disease that's commonly called "depression", and I have no idea what the long-term treatments look like there.
I find it frightening that local governments in the U.S. are installing microphones to spy on their citizens in public.

Highways are quite controlled, compared to city driving. You have separated traffic directions, no traffic allowed below certain speed. Markings are usually in good conditions and any works on the highways are marked and secured long distance before actual work place. I was just driving new car couple months ago with lane assist, front sensors and cruise control. Only thing I needed was that it overtakes trucks on its own and that is it.

That said people do stupid things on highways, but one step is to allow only autonomous cars to drive there and we are done. In the cities and rural areas that is not going to happen because costs would be too high.

I would be happy enough if I could get self driving car only for highways. If someone expects fully autonomous vehicles that can go everywhere, that is not something I think it will going to be available in next 100 years.

Why don't you think it would be healthier for some? The article claims 90% less cholesterol. There are many millions of people that have high cholesterol and $billions is spent to control it and many more $billions is spent on the heart disease consequences. Everything I've read says red meat is one of if not the biggest contributor to high cholesterol.

Talking about iOS
If you can't for legal and ethical reasons say bob sucks don't hire him then you can't communicate the same thing in a way that is as subtle as a brick.

Next time before you do something like that I suggest you communicate with your companies lawyer and ask his opinion on the matter before you get your company sued and yourself fired. Especially if you are going to discuss the matter on the public internet.

Odds are incredibly good that its trivial to discern your actual identity and that you have done the same thing repeatedly. Its entirely possible that someone could be working out right now why they weren't hired and whom they should sue.

There is an association between processed foods and poor health outcomes. There are some processes that have a clear causal link with poor health, most obviously the use of nitrates in meat preservation. It is not clear that all (or even most) processing is harmful.
The idea that many or even most vegetarians are vegetarian for health purposes is faulty from the start.

Fair. I had the same issue a few weeks ago implementing OAuth as a provider. There is a library that is reasonably functional, but the documentation is so bad that if you followed it verbatim there would be huge security holes in your app.

VPNs are "trust me" security, and Cloudflare certainly has a better reputation than many VPN services, so, in that regard, Cloudflare's entry is welcome, but...

I've been using Tor as a privacy-friendly VPN, so Cloudflare getting into this business will make it feel a bit different, every time I see an error Web page that says Cloudflare is blocking a Tor exit node from viewing a page that Cloudflare hosts.

Perhaps Cloudflare could figure out how to block competitor Tor less (even if there's abuse coming in through Tor)? That might be difficult, but an excellent show of good faith.
One positive for PIA at least is that their "no logs"-policy actually has been proven multiple times by subpoenas. https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-providers-no-logging-claims-tes...

I'm not aware of any subpoenas directed at Cloudflare that was equally as useless.

>you're kind of doing the same types of things over and over

Well this would be the root of the problem right here, not "experience doesn't matter after 10 years." That's nonsense. Experienced people with in-depth, cross-functional knowledge obtained from several, 5-8yr "sub careers" in various specialties can be worth their weight in gold.
The taste and texture aren't anything at all like ground beef. What they have created is something that DOES taste good in a 'hamburger bun with hamburger-style toppings'

You can prove this by trying to make meatball or spaghetti or a taco with the 'impossible burger', and it's nothing like it should be.
Yes, Cross Subsidisation assumes you have one market segment or product where you have heavy leverage / control and margin to subsidise another. Example Intel could afford the billions of R&D on 4G Modem and losses on Mobile SoC when they have 90% of Server Market and Mobile PC Market. None of those CDN Price Plan I mentioned in the original comment works in those margin, and has little lock in ecosystem.

Facebook's business modem is simple, Ads. And its business model only works once you reach a certain level of user and usage.

I absolutely love developing on my Macbook, but I will not upgrade from my 2015 MBP until they get their head out of their ass.

The 2015 design literally needs no improvement. It's weight is fine, its thickness is fantastic (still allows for fullsize ports), it has a MagSafe, and a great keyboard. I think the only thing I could possibly look for improvement on is a slight shrinking of the bezel. A 15" is just a tad too big to work comfortably on an airplane.

I had a new MBP for my job and could not stand the thing. It was a terrible experience. I ended up having to get an external keyboard because my finger joints were hurting from typing on the keys, the touchbar was utterly useless, the touchpad was too large for it's own good (and constantly failed to do palm rejection) and the lack of Magsafe was terribly inconvenient.

How to Deal with Criticism
I had a friend and coworker who was in a similar situation, but not because of a career change. We worked on a piece of legacy software together. He was an incredible programmer, and five times the Java/Web developer as anyone else on the team, but because the legacy software was written primarily in C, and he was the "newest" member of the team, he was still the "Junior" dev. Even after being there for ten years. He was more or less consigned to that job title because Management freaked out at the idea that "they can't all be senior developers!"

As a blind user I don't want an easy way for websites or add tracking code to know if I'm using a screen reader. If this feature has to exist then it should be a site by site option that is disabled by default. I can then make the choice to determine if I want a site to know I'm using a screen reader based on the reasoning the site is asking. A blog does not need to know if I'm using a screen reader while a single page app may. I would argue that if a site has screen reader specific code they are doing things wrong but at least having to manually enable the option on a specific site would allow me to decide if the downsides of the site knowing I am blind are worth the reasoning they ask me to enable it.
I never compared you or anyone else to coffee, and I'm not an employer.

My post was about viewing the employer-employee relationship as a business relationship _when you are the employee_.
There is a simple reason: scarcity of talent. Talent that can be commoditized through a platform instantly becomes cheaper, with employers much more easily able to sift through inventory (candidates) and look for deals or just waste peoples’ time gathering market data on interview performance.

If you’re sincerely highly talented, you’re not going to advertise yourself as a commodity on a platform. Your increased skill may not have a chance to be displayed because the platform uses foolish things like coding trivia or a black box proprietary method for recommending salary ranges for candidates like you, or offers automatic ways to find similar candidates so that if employers don’t like your salary demands, they can use your characteristics to tailor a search for a cheaper version of you.

Putting yourself on a platform like TripleByte essentially instantly signals that you’re on the cheap, commodity end of the spectrum (and yes employers think of $130k as cheap salary for this type of position).

Using TripleByte is like cheapening your personal brand. In fact it’s even worse because you’re voluntarily doing it and voluntarily centralizing all of this interview performance data and profile data for them.
No, I'm saying there are lots of people to advocate for "conservative" American perspectives. And therefore these perspectives listed here should make you ask whether you can find another candidate for a high level position.

How much do you know about the Heritage Foundation? Do you like their output?
It does more than that. You don't even have to look to Tesla to find cruise control tech that is capable of adjusting speed based on traffic conditions. e.g., Nissan uses tech that can adjust the speed of your vehicle relative to the distance between you and the car in front of you. You can even choose between three different follow distances for the car in front of you. It can go from 75mph to a full stop without intervention, and then back up to 75mph.

I get that there's skepticism related to self-driving vehicles, but let's be genuine here and recognize that this technology is young and is still in a state of development, and not misrepresent what it can and cannot do.
Nice to see this come back up. I worked with Jamey years ago and he was brilliant. I think he has a write up for Ms Pacman as well.
Its nice to have a source code history to see why and when something was changed. But a lot of tooling is usually to treat the symptoms of complexity.

That perception usually seems to be more related to the strength of one's own ideological commitment than to the actual state of the threads. People on each side perceive the community to be biased, and people who are intensely on one side perceive the community to be extremely biased.

No, I think we would run into serious issues already at 100 times current use, or "1% of an extra sun" worth of power.

And that's only 230 years away at 2% growth rate. Or even just 60 years at 8% growth rate. (That's what oil growth was like before the oil shocks in the seventies, so plausibly what would happen if we got something like cheap fusion.)
