“Can we talk?” The most dreaded phrase a boss can utter
I think I define them in a big blurry overlap. Somewhere in there is the guy who leaves the communal kitchen in a mess because he is too busy, and the countless people who wont prepare properly for a meeting or respond to admin style requests.

I guess those form the category of selfish-effective and selfish-productive people.
I agree with your last point whole-heartedly. We need to start adjusting for ability and proficiency as early as 2nd grade.

The big challenge with all teaching is that you must teach to the "middle" ability child. Instead of splitting by age we should be splitting into groups like the top 45% in one class, the next 35% in the next and the bottom 20% in the last. This lets each child have more or less time based on the aptitude and creates smaller deviance between the "middle" and top/bottom of each group.
Indeed and I do enjoy the MorningStar patty with all the toppings BK puts on it. Big difference is MorningStar is one of those "not really trying to be meat" veggie burgers, whereas the Impossible Burger is trying to be a one-to-one facsimile of meat. So I think they are similar but different.

Another big difference is the Impossible Burger is vegan and the MorningStar burger is not (IIRC).

The Kobayashi Maru of programming interview questions!
Beef only is responsible for 3% of greenhouse gasses in America. I'm not sure an "emission" tax would really affect the price all that much. In addition, you have to account for and tax the emissions produced in plant production (fertilizer, agricultural soil, transportation, etc...). Agriculture is a total of 9%, whereas livestock only accounts for 3% of that.

I work for agriculture companies, and a lot of animal feed comes from by-products of other agricultural products. For example, beet pulp pellets, raffinate, betaine, molasses are all by products of sugar production and are used for animal feed extensively. They are cheap and very shelf stable.

Senior Full-stack engineer looking to move into Product/Project management.

I worked remotely as a freelancer and in small teams for almost 8 years, including as the Senior/Lead Full-stack developer for 5+. On most of the jobs I also took part in Project/Product management tasks, on some in UI/UX design and DevOps.

My main expertise is JS/Node. I worked with Node from 0.6x in production, recently started committing to Node.js.

You are correct on all points, in my experience.

That said, those of us that DO miss some level of meat simulacra (great phrase!) will appreciate this. I lost the taste for actual red meat over 20 years ago, but the texture is still something that has few parallels. Between the hardcore beef aficionados wanting nothing to do with "fake meat" and the hardcore vegetarians/vegans happy to consume veggies I find bland or noxious (As a vegetarian that strongly dislikes bell peppers, I can say the struggle is real) I've had limited options no matter where I turn.

Both Impossible and Beyond burgers have been teasing me for years, but have offered nothing for home. This doesn't get us there, but the more fast food places that carry them, the closer it becomes to being a part of normal.
> Part of the reason seems to be that people have such variable reactions.

I was prescribed Lexapro a few months ago, and while I don't have any plans to go off of it in the immediate future, I did have an encounter with unexpectedly discontinuing it a couple of months ago. I was planning on getting my prescription filled on a Friday, but forgot. I realized this at 12:30pm on Saturday, after the pharmacy had closed. I went without Lexapro for three days: Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (it was a holiday). During that time I lost a significant portion of my hearing of all things; things sounded muffled, as if I had pressure built up in my ears and needed to pop them, but I could easily pop them and it didn't improve. I was also very irritable and had "brain fog", but that wasn't unexpected and was manageable.

Tuesday my pharmacist said that he'd never heard of anyone complaining about hearing issues discontinuing Lexapro and to let him know if it didn't clear up. About three hours after taking it again, I noticed I was able to hear better, and by the next morning I was back to normal.

Thank you for the advice. What about when someone abuses -ve karma?

Re “based my character”: that’s just a cute way of saying how our online personas are caricatures of our real selves.
Fair point that memorizing an algorithm doesn't necessarily advance the student's intuition for how numbers work, but keep in mind that you're replying on a subthread about how learning a general algorithm is an improvement over memorizing multiplication tables.

Ideally, we teach children the intuition for mathematics. Just memorizing arithmetic algorithms isn't ideal, but it's surely better than memorizing finite arithmetic tables.
> The standard for correct rules: when two people communicate they emerge at the end with a shared mental model of the subject.

By this standard, using "their", "there", and "they're" or "your" and "you're" completely randomly is fine -- it's almost impossible for it to cause misunderstanding.
GitHub can be used with both GIT and SVN so you don't have to choose.

I've introduced a lot of people to SVN over the past decades. Be it programmers, sysadmins, artists, translators, it's fairly quick to learn.

I couldn't begin to imagine introducing anybody to git. It's a horrible nightmare to use, even for developers, there is nothing that come close in how many times it screws up and you have to search for help on the internet.
I wonder if you could position posts or boxes (some physical object) with "weird" shapes that could be used as fixed, recognizable points for this sort of thing? So when your sensor picks it up, it's easy to immediately know that this specific object matches to object ID #1234 which is in a specific, known lat/lon/altitude/rotation/translation position.

Something like steganography for these sensors in the real world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code

> Laura had always assumed that depression was caused by a precisely defined chemical imbalance, which her medications were designed to recalibrate. She began reading about the history of psychiatry and realized that this theory, promoted heavily by pharmaceutical companies, is not clearly supported by evidence.

This is the most harmful idea in psychiatry and it's pure marketing bullshit -- everyone knows it, but they still sell this to people.
I don't see any info about jobs on the about page! Am I missing something?
I think you're absolutely right, and this is part of the challenge of this sort of approach: can you take the sometimes brutal rejection gracefully. This is not new, although technology may exaggerate some of the trends that already exist. Notably, at least when it comes to an initial meeting ~80% of men are "below average."

This is frankly a trope of most of the action/romance movies out there. How does Jasmine initially respond to Aladdin? By telling him what a worthless scrub he is. How does Aladdin prove he's not a worthless scrub? By hard work, a good attitude, and persistence. Jasmine eventually sees the value he demonstrates.

There's more complexity here than what I've laid out. But, think on this: Tinder mostly cuts the process off at approach.

Modern Monetary Theory and the Unspoken Effects of Inflation
Just so you know, because it sound like nobody told you... you really need to taper those drugs or the chance of seizure goes way up. It's not like other addictions, you can't just cold turkey benzos or alcohol if you've been using them daily for a long time. It can literally kill you, and you won't see it coming.

There's various schedules on how to do it, here's a good starting point: https://www.aafp.org/afp/2017/1101/p606.html

My personal rule is to never be taking benzos for more than 3 days in a row, to avoid being in a dangerous withdrawal situation.
How to Spend $1k on Training

You guys hate, but he is right and you know it. In year heart you feel this call, this.. twinge. You know this is not the True Path.

I've done it both. Our Go + Angular project slaughtered Django and now I was dealing with services running at 25MB RAM with single digit CPU usages instead of the disgusting gluttons that Python and Ruby produces with memory usage measured in GBs. Production servers can have specs rivalling Raspberry PIs instead of IBM Blue Genes. Quite refreshing.

The illusion of power that Django (and all fat frameworks) create works OK if you work with a narrow set of very specific web applications in a static environment with a team of Django specialists. Anything else and the project turns to shit.

I recall research showing mathematics being one of the very few subjects where one can get better at through brute memorization. It gets you quite far in that field, as it reduces recall time for proofs etc, and then it becomes like muscle memory.

Practice/muscle memory in other fields, like the physical sciences, can not come from a page out of the book, since it requires interacting with nature in a multi-sensory way.

I absolutely agree that there are questionable aspects to how the U.S. enforced drug prohibition laws and how non-violent offenders are treated.

But again, the fact is that we can openly have, and pursue aggressively, discussion about and attempts at reform around how this is handled.

In fact we see this by the spread of various drug legalization efforts in the U.S. and efforts at prison reform.

Though there is also a huge difference between a governments authority to regulate the distribution and consumption of psychoactive compounds (and/or the sale of such compounds) and the ability to even discuss how the government is handling the issue.

Free speech and criticism of the government are a bare minimum baseline. So you can actively organize your fellow citizens in an effort to legalize various compounds in the US and you can lobby and protest the government without any fear of being arrested because of what you are saying. That is a completely different world than what goes on in China. If you are a dissident you are a criminal.

And with respect to whether or not the UN could openly address internal affairs of the U.S. - well it does: https://undocs.org/A/HRC/38/33/ADD.1

Yes the U.S. ambassador to the UN had some choice words about that specific report but it was all out in the open and wasn't suppressed

I like this idea because it allows me to figure out if they have one of the most important skills: being able to say "I don't know" without wasting a lot of time.

IMO anyone else saying you should tell them the solutions might not have answers are dancing around needing to have that skill.

Programmer for 18+ years. Currently a product manager in the legal/financial tech space focused on front-end design and system architecture, but also open to a pure engineering or hybrid product/engineering role. I have a passion for learning new technologies and solving interesting problems. Comfortable with the full stack. Nice to meet you!
SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with 16 years of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

If you have web projects, then there's a good chance I've worked on something similar before and will be able to hit the ground running. If you need more general programming, I can do it. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that would definitely suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, speech recognition, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devising novel algorithms.

I consider myself a polyglot programmer and haven't found a language I can't be productive in yet. In the last 5 years I've written (at least) C#, Java, Python, Javascript (browser and Node.js), and Ruby professionally.

I'm friendly and easy-going, enjoy mentoring and working with other developers. I just delighted a client by delivering everything they wanted for a highly speculative project in 80% of the planned time, despite the project having completely failed twice previously before I was involved.

I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

I can say that personally, a bootcamp worked for me as I needed some kind of environment where I had some kind of obligations, real or not. I needed some kind of structure to put it simply. That being said, my success only came after the fact where a genuine interest and passion allowed me to further develop my skills for many months after "graduating"

And I totally agree with the advice to just skip the bootcamp and learn online for free. It's basically the same advice I give people who ask me about my experience. Therefore, I think the best solution would be to organize something within your community to engage with free resources together. Perhaps even pitch in small amounts of money to get a professional to review/mentor/help out on weekends or something like that.
