Not the above poster, but for me - I omit my degree from my resume, because in my mind it was so long ago as to be irrelevant. It's also a bit odd - I have a degree in "Letters, Arts, and Science" - a make-your-own major from Penn State.

My last two jobs the recruiters asked me if I had a degree - this came up AFTER they had decided to interview me and when they were entering me in to the system - the degree was just a field to fill in.

I can't say what impact having a degree has had on my salary, and I can't say how hard it would be to get those first couple of years of work experience without a degree (it didn't matter for my first job, but that was 19 years ago), but in terms of applying for jobs once you have experience, I've not seen it matter outside of a few jobs that inexplicably require "a" degree (of any kind).

Several of my friends in the field don't have a college degree, and they appear to be functioning well, but they are also painfully aware of the lack, which tells me it's a source of some stress, be that actual or just hypothetical.
My experience is that meds take the symptoms away. You no longer feel sad, but you are still "depressed". Kind of like pain medication takes the pain away, but your leg is still broken.

I experienced depression as symptom of a deeper "illness" of the brain that needs to be cured with psychotherapy. If it wasn't for that I'd still make the same mistakes again and again that made me depressed in the first place.

I'm mostly interested in Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer positions. Specifically, making sure that models are running in production correctly.
He is right. We all use "mail". And it always means email.

"Courriel", or its complete form "courrier éléctronique" is more common in formal, written conversation.

I think the translation came up too late. An early french proposal was to use the "mél" abbreviation which is terrible and never took off... It is still preferred by the Académie Française, another case of being completely off.

BTW, it is "Île de France", the region where Paris is ;) But the situation is the same for all of continental France. I don't know about the overseas and other French-speaking countries.
"I am here to say that things that programmers do are not mundane (or they would be automated out quite quickly)."

And they have been automated out, and so we are all working to solve other things now, which will then be automated, leaving us to solve other things...until the Singularity.

These data also align well with other aggregations of self-reported salaries at glassdoor.com and salary.com. While you can nitpick about methodology or “base vs total”, these reports are at least better than anecdotes posted on message boards for internet points.
I agree, if it were entirely Perl it would have essentially no dependencies. Right now the audience is limited to those with a currently functioning Python3 environment or willing to configure one.

My only concerns are:

I do not know what the process of getting comparable tab completion would be in Perl. I depended on the argcomplete package for this feature which I consider to be essential...the clarity of the syntax depends on being a bit verbose, and this is only usable because tab completion makes it fast to use.

Also, I'm somewhat reluctant to develop in Perl, though I'm willing to do it provided the benefit + demand is there. It would be ironic to have learned Perl as a consequence of building a tool whose primary function is to prevent one having to learn Perl.

I'll send you an email to discuss further.
You seem to be confusing startups with small businesses. They are not the same thing. The former is often motivated by the desire to make enormous amounts of money eventually. Most startup founders probably want to be acquired.
And those burger patties only have 5 carbs. So even Keto friendly. (minus bun).
This release includes the Watchman based reloader I worked on for about a year. It turns out auto reloading in Python is not an easy task, and I’m really nervous about edge cases I haven’t considered!

I’ve actually had a nightmare where everyone’s auto reloader was broken. While it never runs in production (right?!) it’s actually a pretty critical bit of Django that had not been touched in about 10 years!
Burgers aren't really that unhealthy. Skip the fried onions and fried jalapenos and aioli and mayo and it's no big deal. I just had a 1/3lb bison burger last night in a pita, with all kinds of good stuff (feta, sweet hot mustard, ketchup, jalapenos) and it's something like 550 calories. It's quite easy to have a healthy-ish meat burger. Skip the fries and soda.

I make black bean burgers sometimes, and they actually have more calories and less protein than beef or bison.
This is cool, but practically speaking I find that turning my computer off kills every keypress very effectively. In fact, there's only one button on my laptop that does anything when it's off.
Yes, there are tons of geologic maps produced by the government that are used by oil & gas companies. Most states require data from well logs to be reported too.

I think what parent is possibly talking about is when the BLM puts up tracts for mineral lease auction that nobody wants (no economically recoverable reserves).

Yeah, it will take another 100 years until women are hired 50:50 into engineering jobs. Or probably so many jobs.

ROSES ARE FREE

Take a piece of tinsel and put it on the tree
Cut a slab of melon and pretend that you still love me
Carve out a pumpkin and rely on your destiny
Get in your car and cruise the land of the brave and the free

But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

Take a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will
Push it into third if you know you're gonna climb a hill
Eat plenty of lasagna 'til you know that you've had your fill
Resist all the urges that make you wanna go out and kill

But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

Throw that pumpkin at the tree
Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny
Cast it off into the sea
Bake that pie and eat it with me

Vegan, but I agree.

I've not had the chance to try this burger, but when I get the chance I will do for sure.
SEEKING WORK | Yerevan, Armenia | remote

We are a 2 year old startup focused on applying ML algorithms to finance, i.e. we do ML, algorithmic trading, etc. We have also done some freelancing work related to long term financial market predictions for retirement planning.

Currently we are trying to pivot, and looking for related projects in algorithmic trading, or ML applications to time series.

We mostly work with python (django for our website, and visualizations), we have also done minor work with c family languages.

A good employee would rather have their employer make proactive efforts to retain them, than to constantly expend their own energy just to get fair compensation.

The employer has 365 opportunities a year to "discuss it", but most somehow only manage to have a one-sided discussion once per year. I have never been asked "are you happy with your current compensation?" by anyone other than recruiters for other companies. I have frequently volunteered "I am not happy with the apparent reduction in non-salary benefits in comparison to last year" (mostly due to the health insurance plan).

As long as I have to ask for more money in order to get more money, I might as well go ask someone else, too. Getting a new job is very much like asking for a raise from someone you haven't met yet. So if I am already at that point, there's no particular reason why I'd ask my current boss first. They could have given me a raise any time they feel it is appropriate, yet somehow did not.
The definitions can be more easily met when you consider "Cause significant distress" or "reduce the quality of, social, school, or work functioning" - that's much larger, and people can be visibly firing on all cylinders, but if they report reduced quality or distress, then it meets those criteria.
I'm pretty into T-Bell menu hacking but haven't explored veg options much. What are you go-tos?
> a ton of change to the very basics of how we work

I do data work on Python (20%) and R (80%). Of these,

- Both base Python itself (2 -> 3 -> 3.6) as well as the major data libraries (e.g. pandas) changed a lot.

- Not base R but the major libraries (e.g. dplyr, ggplot2, knitr) changed significantly.

So, for me, yes, a ton of change to the very basics of how I work happened when using Python and when using R's newer libraries.
> which has failed to hold up to reality so far

It's held up for most of history. The US can probably avoid full socialism for just under 400 years (hopefully), as the brief ~250 years so far, is not a proof in context. What any 2 people consider socialist may be very different.
Hedge fund programming jobs in NYC pay a significant annual cash bonus, I believe 50-100% of base salary is standard. From what I can tell $250-300k is pretty standard total comp for senior software devs. I'm just a programmer, probably a hiring manager or recruiter would have a better sense of the market.
it seems to be highly processed and perhaps (not sure) loaded with bunch of chemicals and potentially unhealthy ingredients

This is true of pretty much everything at Burger King. It's true of most burgers, too. I mean, any meal coming with processed cheese and a processed bun is going to be on the low end of the "healthy" scale, relatively speaking.
There was a very recent analysis on egg consumption that tends to indicate that there is indeed a connection. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2019/03/18/eggs...
You can use Serpy for that, although it will require some hacking for deserialization (a previous client of mine had a custom-built solution that used Serpy for responses but plain Form classes for parsing requests, but that seemed fine and they were handling 3k/requests per second at peak time).
"I typically write in a very functional lispy style (even when I did JavaScript), and while the overall understanding of FP has improved in the last couple years, a lot of the interviewers would simply not understand what I was writing, and ask me to write it "more object oriented"."

Which is a good way for you to weed out companies where the developers are low to average intelligence.

Not understanding basic functional programming concepts, in 2019? Seriously?
How does anyone who lives in San Diego get to see the live camera and data feeds? Surely a city in the US didn't create a public surveillance network that takes the information and makes it private.
That sounds like an arrangement very similar to Venezuela's oil industry, except with a level of personal enrichment far beyond the structure of Venezuela's industry, which has enjoyed constant opprobrium as the work of a dictator.

Therapy is also a long lasting, lucrative approach. I think you're confusing consumerism with the long standing idea that we should be able to solve everything with a pill. It's evident in the older generations insistence that if they could just have that one surgery for their knees, or that round of antibiotics for their cold, their lives would be 100% better.
The counterpoint to this argument is that Yang tried to solve the problem of automated job losses as an entrepreneur when he ran the nonprofit Venture for America, which ran in states not commonly known to be tech hubs.

He's not someone that was distantly removed from the issue as he was highly aware and swimming deep in it. He realized after a while, that because he was only bringing in a few thousand jobs from starting new companies compared to the hundreds of thousands lost each year due to automation, that the only good avenue of making real change was driving national dialogue to accelerate meaningful solutions via running for president.

High salt consumption is linked to high blood pressure, stroke, and cardiovascular disease.

You're right in that there's some debate around salt, and what amount is the "right" amount. However, for people with auto immune diseases (like me) it's a valid concern.

My biggest concern with any VPN is: do I trust you? I’ve been reluctant to sign up with any of these VPN services that seem to be advertising everywhere nowadays because I don’t know what they’ll do with my internet traffic.

The CloudFlare VPN is interesting to me because they’re a large, established company with a good reputation, so I trust them more than TunnelBear or ExpressVPN or PIA or whoever’s sponsoring YouTube this week.

If there was a way you could offer a product or service that provided a compelling case for why you won’t (or better yet can’t) snoop on my internet traffic, I’m all ears. Everything else is just gravy on top.

Django is supposed to be the “Rails” of Python, allowing programmers who want a Rails-like experience to continue using Python instead of switching languages completely.

If you don’t want “magic” then your solution is right - just use Flask.
Depends. If the depression is somewhat "temporary", as it was for me at one point, then a temporary prescription can help smooth out your emotional state while you cope with the cause.

Meanwhile I expect to be on my anti-anxiety medication for my life, as my brain chemistry is not going to fix itself.
I'd like to add that I see a lot of people saying, "If you're vegetarian/vegan why are you going Burger King?" - Well, I don't go often, but on the off chance that I'm with some friends and they go to a fast-food restaurant, it's much easier and less awkward if there's something I can eat too.

I have the 43UD79-B. I just bought it a few weeks ago and I have it on a Gator "Quadpod" floor stand with an air piston for lift assist . My idea was to use it in an open space basement to watch movies (a mix of DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Blu-ray), and also for homeschooling several kids (projecting a laptop screen for YouTube videos, Khan academy, presentations, etc.) I have not used it on a desktop.

So far I can say that it looks great with videos, and it's pretty amusing to see a Chromebook screen blown up so large. I have not used it much yet in "lecture mode" but I have hopes that this will work pretty well. For audio, I am using the 1/8" out from the monitor going into an existing powered mixer. There are some other options like an optical out but I haven't tried those yet.
My current diet is “intermittently vegan,” and when I’m not eating meat, I find myself preferring the taste of actual veggies in my veggie burgers. Where traditional veggie burgers fall short in my experience is their texture. No matter how much breadcrumbs or potato starch or xanthan gum you add, a patty based on beans and veggies is gonna be squishier than one based on muscle fibers.

Right. It's a synonymous fallacy. We get it. Apparently we cannot move on until everyone is elevated to the same level of reading comprehension. Stop trying to score petty points, and discuss the issue that yes, there is some pretty nasty shit that is manufactured by chemical companies and put into our food, and stop trying to derail the argument to "own the libs." In other words: grow up.
