I'm in the same boat; diagnosed with ADHD-PI (UK, so we don't use the term 'ADD') as an adult. I've improved vastly thanks to medication and good routines but it remains a constant effort, and improvement is a continual process. The book Taking Charge of Adult ADHD by Russell Barkley helped me significantly.

My reasons for asking for a raise:

1) Your responsibilities have increased
2) You have become an integral and important part of the team/project, so it would be costly for them to replace you
3) Your skills have improved

The second and the third point rely on the fact that you'd be probably able to get a better salary elsewhere.
The first point is mostly about fairness. By assuring that you're treated fairly, they can be sure that you do your best.
The second point is the least likeable reason for me, because in that scenario you're not making the judgment from your perspective but from theirs (by realizing your salary potential by not screwing them).
Individual school districts and occasionally schools have enormous autonomy compared to the norm in Europe. So two schools in the same state can each have a class called Algebra II, with literally zero overlap in the material covered. Yesterday I read about a high school math teacher who decided to teach partial differential equations, normally, I believe what Americans call Calculus II in university, as an elective. There are good schools, but the system is very far from uniform. Partly this is because it wasn’t designed from the ground up to teach nationalism with education fit in around that goal. Puritan New England was the first society with mass literacy. Schools were locally funded, run and organised and that organisation of local rather than state administration persists, possibly in every state, certainly in most. Education came before nationalism so there was never a state system designed from the top down to turn everyone into Americans, nationwide, though many reformers gave it a good try.
I think you’ve answered your own question. Salaries are secret largely based on the stigma that employers have put around publicizing them, because it allows employers to act from a more advantaged position.
As I've been saying, the "AI threat" is not that it'll autonomously decide to hate humans but that it will, under the control and guidance of actual humans, be used for anti-human purposes.

Wasn't Hanna-Barbera the guys who made the Brady Bunch Kids and other sit-com spin-offs? =[

As a kid I never noticed how commercial it all really was.

After reading some of the history you can see they've all been doing the exact same tried and true things since forever.

Merchandising, spin-offs, episodes written around new album releases, copy-cats of successful shows (e.g. Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie), etc.

So you end up with minimal janky animation, Disney child actors, and 1/2 hour toy commercials.

"Gaming" the workplace is happening with or without metric fixation. At least with metric fixation it's front and centre when it occurs.
Abstraction is really hard. An economics professor of my acquaintance said he started requiring calculus for his game theory class so he could be sure everyone was competent with algebra. Every time you increase the level of abstraction you lose some people. Some of them can be taught it but some can’t, no matter how hard they or their teachers try.

>As online dating has become the norm, this causes a drought for a larger portion of men than before.

From my own experience, it's impossible for me to find a date on Tinder. No matter how much time I spend on profile pictures or crafting bios.

On the other hand in face to face interaction it's not a problem.

From my experience women are more choosy online when they only have data (height, salary, picture). For in person interaction talking, physical interaction (e.g. dancing), energy, smile etc. have more weight.

Recently my telecom has starting sending me regular texts (~3-6 months)
"We've improved our service, you now have X more mb/month"
"We've strengthened our infrastructure, your bill has been reduced from x/month to y/month, if you'd prefer more data you can reply with MOAR DATA to this text and we'll keep you at the same price and give you X more data."

Knowing that I'm continuing to upgrade while doing nothing increases my satisfaction and I haven't even shopped around since I switched to them.
About the same - I had one 'interview' where I had to write a client and server in C++ that would allow clients to register network MAC addresses with the server along with some associated data and then retrieve it at a later time.

Took me a couple of hours, interviewer said my code wasn't particularly "object oriented" but I got the job.

The irony of this was it was for a Director of Engineering job where I didn't do any coding! :-)

It's too big to do dev on IMHO, but what is fantastic is using a big screen as a second monitor. You can drag files over instead of closing them and have everything important open at the same time. It's God mode for code viewing.
> most contracts were supplied by customer

This is precisely why I don't have a standard contract -- which, after doing this for a number of years, still seems very odd to me. A while back, I hired a lawyer to revise and amend a contract _supplied by customer_ only to have it rejected because of the time and effort it would have taken their lawyers to review/revise/amend my changes. As I understand it, this same line of reasoning would also prevent (most) of my clients from signing a contract presented by me. This makes businesses sense, and I've since learned that it's standard practice, but I resent that I'm the one who has to make the take-it-or-leave-it decision about whether to work _for_ this client, as opposed to _with_ this client.

My high school math teacher had spent years teaching remedial math at a university level. We thought she was being a curmudgeon when she complained that universities even offered remedial classes.

Nowadays, I think she was right: university students should be ready for university-level work. Many people aren’t at that level the moment they graduate high school. The US really doesn’t have a place for those people, aside from remedial classes.

But, anyhow, for many people, there’s an intermediate step that doesn’t get talked about.

It's also the opposite. There's a strain of far left ideology that claims men and women are mentally identical, despite much scientific evidence to the contrary. If they were identical, studies on both genders would be unnecessary.
I run a 200,000€ revenue company that sells physical goods across the EU. Large companies have the resources to do the paperwork to sell across customs borders, I don’t.

Jumping between addresses is the way how assembler programs/machine code works. A high level language shall abstract, bringing powerful concepts like scopes. If you short-circuit the high level logic by directly using gotos, you will shoot into your foot. Furthermore, the pladoyer "goto considered harmful" was about using high level program structures for the sake of their power. Letting the compiler alone to do the hard work of managing your variables, etc.
That's what happened at my first job - told to get the book on Fortran from company library and learn it.
In education, there is a practice known as "backwards design" described in the book "understanding by design". Here, goals are set, behaviours that are evidence of achieving the goal are set (these are assessments), and then instructional activities are designed that "move the needle" on the assessments. But the critical 4th step in this iterative process is continuous alignment between the goals, assessments and instructional activities. This alignment process is intended to prevent the negative outcomes of teaching to the test.

From that perspective, any metric oriented organisation might want to have an explicit alignment process that ensures that the metrics continue to capture the desired outcome.
"It’s totally silent — 0dB."

That's not how the dB scale works, though. It's a logarithmic scale, so even negative values can still represent a minuscule amount of sound. And absolute silence is impossible because there's always going to be some background noise. But as long as the computer is quieter than the background noise, you're fine.

In any case, interesting project. I built my first silent PC 11 years ago; it's still working, but not as silent as it was back then. A built a replacement last year and it's much quieter, but still not a silent as the build from the article.

Hooking everything up to external heat sinks has always seemed like the most obvious solution to move beyond the really quiet fans and internal (semi)passive cooling, but it's way too much work for my taste. Glad to see someone has done it.

Looks really stylish too.

>The intelligence analysts who ultimately located Osama bin Laden worked on the problem for years. If measured at any point, the productivity of those analysts would have been zero. Month after month, their failure rate was 100 per cent, until they achieved success.

I guess if the metric was "caught Osama Bin Laden or not", then yeah, I agree.

But who on earth would measure the analyst's productivity just so? Nothing but a strawman.

>The source of the trouble is that when people are judged by performance metrics they are incentivised to do what the metrics measure, and what the metrics measure will be some established goal. But that impedes innovation, which means doing something not yet established, indeed that hasn’t even been tried out.

Why? If a (admittedly weak) metric like "# of paying customers" is used as a goal, how does that "impede innovation"? How are people being stopped from coming up with creative ways to get more customers? Why do we assume the ways in which they improve the metric will be bad, and not innovative?

Ctrl+f, typed "Ogio", no hits, therefore I shake my head in disapproval while doing "tsk tsk".

Got an Ogio backpack from Rackspace back in 2012 and I've been using it at 3 different companies. Each time I'm asked about why I use a Rackspace backpack at Company X I challenge them to give me a better backpack for free. No one has matched it yet.

This little guy has so much room in it that I can pack laptop+accesories+clothes for 3-4 days. It is also waterproof (I used to cycle to/from work in British weather for 2 years) and durable as f*ck.

I like it so much that I bought a second Ogio backpack so both me and my wife can pack stuff when traveling with the certainty that we won't have to buy a new backpack every year or two.
Best way to hire programmers is to hire them without getting them to code.

Before anyone burns me at the stake...It's not really the "best" but it can work. I was a coding interview advocate for a long time. I changed it from solving puzzles, to solving real problems taken from the domain they were interviewing for. In the early years I was a bit surprised by who struggled with coding, but I noticed a trend after a while, I could mostly tell how well someone was going to do from the preliminary discussions about software / design / experience / tradeoffs / etc. So I actually learn a lot more about the developer from that discussion and have tried to get better at that to explore more things. I like to focus on the nitty gritty of real problems, hand ow to approach architecting a piece of software from all angles. I do still use coding where I think it might help, with grads, I mostly do coding as its a good icebreaker into general conversation, and intermediates where their experience is still limited, I like to set problems that test peoples ability to keep their code tidy and modular, to see if they have developed any coding discipline, but sometimes from the initial conversation I will already know. But most often I already have a good idea.
You don't have to have a reason to ask for a raise at least once a year.

You should get a raise of around (at least?) 5% pa. 2% being general inflation, 3% for more experience.

The whole thing about pay being tabu is a mindgame played by your employer. Remember the person whom you are making the ask to has all the information, negotiates pay 10 times (maybe 100 times) pr. year.

You are really being a sucker if you don't ask. And you are not doing any favours to your fellow coworkers.

Where can I get this Snake thing (Google Maps aside)?
I was bored out of my mind at that point so tuned out. 7 years later I was struggling through the math portions of my CS degree and now with 10 years in the workforce I'm genuinely frustrated about not being allowed to do the shiny stuff (namely ML). The NZ school system at the time basically fucked me when it comes to basic mathematics and now in my early 30s I'm trying to fix this using Khan Academy. It's not easy and I know I'm going to struggle a lot more being significantly older. Maybe things have changed in the intervening years but I still hold genuine scorn towards whoever designed that math curriculum. This stuff is actually important.
It is not a hoax/joke.

For the record, the article is older than that. The CSA press release is over two weeks old.
as energy becomes cheaper and cheaper it will certainly be used in greater amounts. one side effect that may still be of concern is all the waste heat from its use.

I look at it this way, as computer capability increased we never ceased to find ways to use more of it.
Nonsense? Why do you say that? Is it nonsense that a publication needs to pay its employees? Is it nonsense that non-ad driven revenue allows a publication to focus on quality material versus optimizing for clicks?
I agree to that. It's an easy ball for your supervisor to say that you should work at the other company then.It's way better to say I want to work here, but I need a raise.

Tell them that you like to work for this company and are willing to stay for the next time. This is valuable for the company.

Your story about feeling obliged to watch a bad cartoon over and over again resonates with me.

I was a film projectionist at a single-screen theater in Harvard Square in 1988, the summer "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was showing. I saw the opening scene (the baby cartoon with Roger subjected to various painful acts) several hundred times.

The first time I thought it was funny. After 10 times it was boring. After 30 it made me very uncomfortable. I probably saw it about 250 times in all.

A few months ago I started to watch it with my son (it was on Netflix or Amazon), but I had to stop a few minutes in. The feeling of mild revulsion was just too much.

ETA: Makes me appreciate the patience of editors and other film professionals who are probably sick of seeing certain scenes by the time it hits theaters or the small screen.
In a certain sense, large companies are a failure of market economies. Because the rules and mechanism of a market are often suspended within the firm.

It’s not impossible to imagine something like Tesla being organized as a loose set of specialized craftspeople, although I would agree that it would likely be less efficient.
While a lot of what you say is true, that hiring pattern leaves you exposed to the bullshit artists.

I always want to see some kind of code from someone for whom coding ability matters at all. Doesn’t need to be extensive, tricky, or even written live in front of us, but when the job is more than talking, I want to see more than just talking to evaluate.
Only if demand remained the same. Higher efficiency can low prices, and thus increase demand.
Moving diagonally to another company is generally the best way to increase your earnings. You should get one or more offers from other companies. The more options you have the less shy you will be because you have alternatives if your current employer says no. Newer companies also have less leverage because they need to fill the vacancy.

Once you have options you can have an honest conversation with your current manager to say that you're not satisfied with what you're currently earning and would like to earn 'x' based on the market rate for that role/your skills. Expect some potential push back / negotiation on that figure but have a minimum raise you want to get in order to consider it a success.

If they do not want to give you that minimum, then be prepared to take one of your alternative options and go elsewhere. Their loss. So shop around because at the end of the day, it's mostly just business.

Lived in one, ethnic origins from another, studied in a third, have visited repeatedly over 10 of them, speak 3 of their languages (4 with mine, tho to be frank my French are read-only, as my accent has always been quite bad even in my native language), and am well-read in 4 of Western European countries' literature and philosophical writings. Have also worked for one pan-European organization.

That said, I'm probably not in line with the "modern" americanized Europeans, so there's that. Just with the good fashioned European culture. I don't find frilly language (like the example) offensive for example...
