I'm not one to proselytize since I use a handful of languages every day, but when my Java hat is on, I double click a build target, my software is tested, built, deployed side-by-side with my current production build.

New users are automatically pushed to the new build, and users with existing sessions remain on the previous build. When I undeploy the previous build, the rest of the users start seeing the new build as well.

That's all out of the box with small config tweaks for our environment. It is truly torturous.
>This seem to be written from the point of view that children improvise their gender identity to get attention, or that gender transition isn't the method used to alleviate the serious mental health issue that is gender dysphoria. It is a lifelong source of anguish and suffering if not treated correctly.

Well, two things to that. No, not really. I'm absolutely in agreement that gender dysphoria is real, and causes great suffering. Absolutely.

As to "get attention"... I have a 13yo niece that did exactly this for two months. She was "transgender" and asked people to call her by a different name and pronoun, seemingly dead serious to even her parents - now, you and I probably agree this is just a teenage girl seeking attention on a hot button topic and doesn't have much weight here. But - let's not pretend that someone else might be more committed. To your expected point, this is what a shrink would determine to be the case and we can move past it.

I guess the question I have is how is Gender Dysphoria different from Body Dysphoria?

If you are proposing to treat Gender Dsyphoria in children by giving them drugs to stop the natural development process. Why would anyone treating anorexia with daily supplements to keep them at a dangerously low weight but alive be different?

There is no answer to that because we just flat out don't understand gender dysphoria yet, imo. Phsycology has a replication crisis, so posting phsyc journals and trans blogs isn't doing much for me.

That's not to say I'm an enemy. I just don't agree that we should make changes to the body because of something we don't understand in the mind.

Let me ask you a totally serious question - if tomorrow a pill is released to "fix" gender dsyphoria, it's 100% effective and the person sees their body as their own, hears their voice as their own, etc. Would it be right to treat the symptoms by stopping adolescence or would that be seen as a barbaric / the very wrong thing to do? Would you take that pill or would that in your opinion remove who you are?

My point isn't to suggest there is a fix or will be a pill. It's to understand why gender dysphoria is different than body dysphoria. I suppose there is a great divide in the effects of one are physical and the other are mental. But also we accept that one is a flaw, but are told the other is to be accepted. The extreme of my argument is gay conversion camps which I can assure you is not the case I'm making.
Oh absolutely. I used to joke that you could convert C# to Java by replacing "string" with "String" and changing the extension.

But really, most of the C-family of languages are similar enough that you can kind of hack your way through pretty quickly, and become mostly-productive in a few weeks.

The family of Go, Java, C#, Python, Kotlin, Javascript, etc etc are all similar enough in theory that "working code" is as close as Googling the right syntax.

> Get sick, go to hospital, insurer covers. There is a shortlist of things the insurer won't cover. You pay the insurer each month.

It is extraordinarily clear that you've never had to do this. And apparently never had to deal with a serious illness in your family. Which is great for you, but please understand that's not the case for others.

> An identical argument could be made for [...]

No, not at all. The only one of those that might meet the four factors I describe is schooling, which is also a highly fraught choice, but it's still not as bad on dimensions B, C, and D. Individual educational needs are also less varied and more predictable than medical care needs. And for choosing education, society puts extensive effort into helping people make those choices well: school rankings, guidance counselors, oceans of books and articles, school accreditation, etc, etc. Until the ACA, there was basically no assistance for picking an individual care plan. ACA marketplaces help a bit, but it's still an extremely difficult choice.
Entertaining story - although as advice to anyone reading it, running up the clock without proactively notifying people that you're going way beyond your original estimate is a very good way to make getting paid incredibly difficult.
I agree; that requirement was pushed down on me from on high. I think we're starting to loosen up about it, though.

Sometimes people move between senior eng. and management positions and back depending on organization sizes.
I certainly have had engineering manager positions where I went several years without needing to code for my job. If I'd stayed longer and not coded for fun, and then gone on to the type of positions I did next, which were much more hands on, and using different labguages I can imagine I might have found it hard.

Thankfully I've always enjoyed programming on side projects too, so staying up to date has never felt like a chore.

I started with Flask, moved to Django, and now at work am back on Flask. It all depends on what you are building; if you are going to need some ORM, standard auth, etc, Django is a no brainer. However if you are going to be building out much of your own idiosyncratic architecture, Flask gets out of your way and avoids including lots of things you don't need.

For performance, we are building some parts of our system with Clojure. It feels extremely well suited, albeit with some initial learning curve.

At the time that Tesla and SolarCity merged, the major synergy touted was selling cars, power-walls and solar panels together at the Tesla dealership. They eliminated most of SolarCity's other sales channels like door-to-door sales, and the Home Depot partnership, to focus on sales in the dealerships. Since then their sales have plummeted.

Now Tesla is closing most of its dealerships, eliminated the main sales channel SolarCity had remaining. It looks like their plan is to operate with online-only sales, skipping even an in-person estimate visit, and offloading that do the customers.

I originally thought that the merger was a really bad deal for Tesla. I didn't realize how bad a deal it would be for SolarCity as well.

Gimmicks are short-lived for fundamental reasons. I'm going to sound like a broken record but, as someone who has owned multiple Alexa devices and quit their job to start a voice-UI business(didn't pan out), the current generation of "smart speakers" are a joke when it comes to doing anything serious besides asking for the weather or toggling light switches. I have no doubt that they are useful to people in very limited ways, but they are still sold as being a lot smarter than they really are. For what they provide, the privacy trade-off is too great for me.

Alexa is a gimmick because it's a speech-to-text command line, and it's sold as being smart even though it's not. Since before I was a kid in the 90s, there have been many attempts to revolutionize computing with speech-to-text technology. Because speaking comes so naturally to us, it's easy to assume that voice-activated anything is better than pushing buttons. In reality, without intelligence and autonomy, lots of interfaces are made slightly worse with voice activation. For those who aren't visually impaired, the ability to use voice to turn off lights barely even makes sense. Alexa frequently gets things wrong and activates from sounds that aren't even close to the wake-word. The ability to create lists is barely practical because it so often can't understand a word, in which case the user has to go to the Alexa app and manually punch in the item.

Voice control would be great if it were revolutionized, but it's hardly in a different state than it was decades ago. The only two things that have changed are improved speech synthesis and ample cloud computing. Because of this, most people I know who own one barely use them beyond a select number of features that are hard to get wrong like "Alexa, what's the weather?" or "Alexa, what time is it?". My parents still sometimes use it to play music(which I gave up on as a music fan), but it gets requests hilariously wrong 1/5 times.
My first thought upon reading this was: "If you don't want to quit your job, then just stay."

So, is it you are working on a project, and when the project is finnished there is no work left, or do you think thay you will get fired, or what am I missing here?
I don't know if people have generally been following Taleb's critique of IQ and other intelligence measures, but there are three tracks to it.

One is purely statistical -- that if you offer any metric of success, and try to correlate it with any measure of intelligence, even if the two are actually uncorrelated, then having dead people in the sample (that is, people who score 0 on both) will increase the quality of the correlation. Applicable because when you eliminate people who score low on IQ tests and low on performance tests from the sample, the correlations tend to disappear in these studies.

The second is more intuitive, that intelligence is multifaceted and attempts to project it into a low-dimensional space will mask the inherent complexity, but will be capable of identifying individuals that score low across many dimensions. That leads to the condition in the first issue.

The third is probably the most controversial; that IQ tests in particular do not measure generalized intelligence, but measure how well you can do "drone work", so for places where performance can be objectively measured, it will tend to be in tasks that do not require creativity or initiative in unpredictable directions because those are not easily measured, so thus reflective of the same sorts of tasks that IQ tests measure.
How does this look like to you?

>The rest of us can't, so you have to.

But if you use your resources in ways that do not align with the view that climate change is a problem, such as using a private jet when riding on a commercial will produce far less greenhouse gas for the trip, we will remember it when you push policies that tell if not dictate to us how we should be using our own resources in our own lives.
After you've been coding for a few years, I think your degree is largely irrelevant. A guy with 20 years of programming knowledge has far, far more than a degree.

Similarly, a candidate could have graduated top of their class from the most prestigious university in the world, but if they've never been able to hold a job for more than six months, that tells me something.
We can measure the difference in cables though! I can put them through a scope or analyzer and I can even show you real hard differences between them.

What we can't do is prove that makes a difference to your ear vs mine and that's the real problem.

So there are two difference classes of scam here. The one where it's true there is a difference in this $10 and $10000 cable, but they're effective identical. And the scam where this is no measurable or even logical difference at all.

It's the former scam that I think allows the "audiophile" industry to thrive.
Go for this on all pages instead:

html[\26a1] body, html[amp] body {
animation: none;
}

(I wrote \26a1 because HN doesn’t allow the literal U+26A1 character.)

That way it applies to all AMP pages, regardless of their URL, and doesn’t clobber any other pages (though I can’t actually imagine any genuine animation on a body element).
The thermal budget of something like that would be bananas I would think.
I don't think you need to change anything. Not everyone wants to hitch their wagon to Google or MS. I'm one of them. I don't use any Google services aside from their search engine. I stopped using most all of Amazon's products and services too.

Why? Because there are always strings attached to that. For example, I don't want Google controlling or having access to my email.

Google's "App Store" is another good example. I read stories of developers getting booted off there almost weekly. Google provide almost no feedback as to why, and gives them no way to settle an issue.

I would highlight these kinds of issues in my marketing and promote personalized customer services.
I don't think any good senior devs are under the illusion (privately) that they're rusty at whiteboard interviews. I'm certain my college grad self fresh out of practicing for the ACM contests could have run circles around my recent job search self when it comes to algorithm stuff. I had to practice and then pass a ton of whiteboard rounds to get my current senior developer job, so I'm not saying this out of bitterness.

However, and I think this is the crux of the problem, you're not paying senior developers for that. I've never had to actually do any algorithm slinging on this job. The fanciest it usually gets is chaining some maps and filters.

On the other hand, I have had to do "rocket surgery" on critical path legacy code, write business logic in a maximally predictable and readable way, figure out how to land a non-backwards compatible change with no downtime, convince other teams to help with an initiative my team is leading, design an internal API, etc.

Doing that stuff requires experience, rigor, resourcefulness, and I'm sure you can come up with more "senior" traits. My personal complaint about whiteboard interviews, even systems design interviews, is that they only indirectly measure those traits.

I think the best solutions are very down to earth, non-ironically. Plant many many trees, stop deforestation, stop people eating up on Amazon forest, they're literally destroying the Earth lung while it needs a bigger lung. Of course it'll need changes, people will need to stop over-consuming about everything, reduce their meat consumption drastically, and stop many other negative habits. One that upsets me are pets, how come more than 1 billion people have pets? Just imagine the huge impact on climate if they were all to replace them by plants
How about this:

No one is allowed to call me unless they are on my contacts list, or perhaps another whitelist of not-quite-contacts-but-allowed-to-call-me. Any calls off those lists silently fail. Phone providers must upgrade their infrastructure to include origin-number verification.

No business is allowed to expect I be available to answer phone calls, or to require me to conduct business over the phone, for any reason, ever. Each time I am charged or penalized by a business in any way for missing their call, or not doing something that can only be done over the phone, they are required to eat the charge and then fined $10,000.

Let's throw business over the phone where it belongs: in the fucking garbage. The death of robocalls will be a nice side bonus.

The recruiter can't answer these questions; they were told by HR. The recruiter does not know that when HR asked the manager what tools the team had, the manager picked up the nearest hammer - it was a Picard - and then picked up two boxes of nails and said "these are the ones we use the most". HR helpfully copied over the information from the side of the box and then specified 3 years because the manager said that they wanted people who could be trusted with a hammer and nails already.

One thing I never see mentioned when it comes to blue light and its effect on circadian rhythms is whether it is the absolute level of blue light that matters, or the relative amount compared to other concurrent light, or the relative amount compared to some earlier time such as the peak blue level over the last day.

It is relevant for figuring out strategies to avoid having blue light mess with your sleep. If it is an absolute level, then you either need to keep light sources low enough at night so that they can't have a blue component that is too high, or you need to find out the spectrum of the light and figure out the maximum level you can set the source to so that the blue won't be too high.

If it is just the relative amount compared to concurrent light, then as long as you use lights that have an acceptable spectrum you should be able set these as bright as you want without messing up your sleep.

If it is relative to something like the peak for the day, then there is a possibility that instead of turning down blue at night you could turn it up during the day to raise that peak to give you more blue leeway at night.

In the past 5-6 years, as memes have been spreading like wildfire
Well.. a bit longer than THAT.

, we generally assume it’s all men behind their making and sharing.
Oh do "we"?

There is something unmistakably male dominant about the meme industry, which means many common memes shared on the internet are rooted in male interests and humor.
It's true that men are over-represented in that regard.
But it says something about the writer. To her "men" are a singular group with a "common interest". I find that highly dubious.

As a result, feminists are using memes to cover everything from mental health, white feminism, and sexism, to heteronormativity and the patriarchy. They are leveraging memes as a larger reflection of their sociopolitical discontent, using these funny graphics as a way to make us smile, while also inspiring us to think about the bigger picture.
...Just like these "men" or other people do.

The submit button is not filtering anyone, go ahead with these enlightening, eye-opening, and educated feminist memes. Can't wait.
And that should be fine. unsafe is not something to be forbidden, it is a marker for "here-be-dragons, as the compiler can't check that all invariants are correct when you dereference a raw pointer or modify a mutable static variable".
