I worked a consulting gig with a 60yo who had just learned Objective-C so he could do mobile work. This was in 2013.

I guess if it’s a seed round company with a 22yo founder they might have some bias. But the rest of the world absolutely needs devs of any age.
Also, most languages are not sinking ships. Certain uses of them are of course. But even languages this site hates, such as C, C++, C#, and Java have very long lives ahead of them for certain uses. Obviously C++ vs Rails... well, you're going to be out of a job. But if you were using C++ for the sorts of things you would have used Rails in 2009 you were already a decade or so behind the curve.

I met a COBOL contract programmer 15 years ago. At the time he made a lot of money from it because there were few left, no new work, but maintaing old code bases.

Java today, OTOH, is nowhere near that point yet. People still build plenty of new things in Java and it's easy to search a job site and see tons of Java jobs. The JVM is widely used and no-one will blink twice if you want to build something on it.

I don't see them as comparable at all.
Makes me wonder if in the future the solution will be to create synthetic crude and pump it back into the ground.
Thanks! Didn't know Fidelity did that. I'll see about rolling over to them for now.
* The laws we are talking about are to mitigate abuse and oppression by a majority.
* You seem especially vitriolic in defending the status quo.
* The status quo is full of examples wherein a minority group is unfairly impacted.
* You are even willing to make the claim that these protections are themselves racist and should not be attempted under any circumstances.

I think most decent minded folks can see where this is leading.
Mailing lists are superior for async communications IMHO for endeavors such as this. Nothing needs to be addressed immediately (and as everyone is a volunteer, realistic expectations should be set for response latency; email helps that, Slack/Discord does not), and the mailing list archive is a natural log of conversations and decisions that are open and accessible (Free Slack only keeps 10k lines of conversation history if I recall). A mailing list is also free (can be, not always, but can be), and does not require a chat client installed.

Yes! I'm doing this too, as a kind of community service. If sites get broken because their privacy-invading "like" button doesn't work, that's on them. People will just move on.
Ah, speaking of code snippet of the day. Found someone’s code trying to check if a promo-code is already used, and if not to apply it:

$codes = $db->exec(‘SELECT code from promocode’);
if (!in_array($myCode, $codes)){
// use it
}
Yeah, but in a sharp downturn you get margin called and possibly wiped out if you aren’t careful. A lot more rich people have lost everything from that sort of problem than the number of rich people made even richer as a result of extreme inflation. And Weimar like inflation seems increasingly less of a near term risk considering that German 30 year yields just turned negative for the first time ever today.
Why just not to enjoy the moment we're living right now, and trying to appreciate it every second, gratefully accepting the decisions of the fortune and trying to do what we like!
Unfortunately, FHE doesn't work this way. You're operating on encrypted data, so performing some branched operations doesn't work due to the security (IND-CPA) security.

IE: You have a value that you need to do `if <condition> then <statement> else <other statement>`

Problematically, if that condition could work, then it would violate the confidentiality of the encrypted value, thus breaking the CPA security. Now there are some workarounds and methods to getting around this problem sometimes, but in many cases it's not possible.

That's exactly what they say in the article, if you cut the tree down, another will grow from the stump, they are quite literally grass-trees

And yeah, this is actually a huge bonus for carbon capture!
I'm really pleased to see people in this subthread being so excited about the fact that plants are made out of carbon they extract from the air.

Question, though: isn't this something you learned in school?

Yeah well the discussion moves into the value of money in trying to win a tech race.

Elon's Starlink broadband provider via very-near-earth satellites could be leveraged to provide a real-world advantage against google's internet dominance.

If that conflict happened google would have to dump money into blue origin and would that be enough to counteract the advantage Starlink would have in dumping it's profits into getting more advantage?

Idk, but just making the point

> But as the article said, there is a diminishing amount of value after every year of true experience after a number of years. I would say around 10.

I don't buy it. 10 years is about when you start moving into the actual expert category. Note I said start.

At 35, I finally had real, full control over multiple languages, could pick up CLR and understand and implement any algorithm in it, finally understood exactly why concurrency was so damn hard and how to mitigate that, and would pass practically every interview with flying colors. I could finally drive my tools with some facility and started to realize gdb was my friend.

At 45, I can predict the errors I and others are likely to make and take steps to mitigate them up front--although I still get irritated that I when I make the mistake anyway. My comments are now psychic--my team often remarks how "I just thought that I could really use a comment explaining this-and, behold, there it was". I can reduce interviewers to tears and can surprise all but the most knowledgeable experts in their own domains. I reach for gdb far more often, but am still frustrated at how much I don't know about it.

I still only consider myself an "expert" in very few subdomains--none of them involving programming languages.

One of my heavy hitter software guys once said: "Your code is the most straightforward code I have ever read." I apologized for being so simple. His laughing response: "Don't apologize. That was a compliment, dumbass."

For those who want to try extended fasting but are worried that this might be too hardcore, It's helpful to know that the fasting mimicking diet can be approximated by simply eating ~700 calories (around 16oz) of avocado/guacamole per day. I often extend a fast by eating avocado. Research suggests that you extend the benefits of autophagy with less stress.

Huge leaves creep me out for some reason. I think it's because small leaves are normal in my region--I associate big ones with tropical regions, rainforests, jungles, etc. When I see a fast-growing tree with a narrow stalk and big leaves, it can't hurt me of course, but it vaguely arouses the same disgust as a parasite or fungus.

It isn't about how many people do that, it is about how many people can do that publicly without any repercussions towards them from the state. And I would say, in the US that proportion comes to around "pretty much all of them".

Many have commented about carbon becoming part of the tree however one also has to consider carbon in the soil around the tree. Plants put carbon into the ground through their roots and leaves, bark and other material that comes off of them that then feeds soil bacteria, fungi, worms, etc. Think about the soil underfoot in a mature forest is versus that under a lawn. In the forest you have soft, airy soil that teems with life and goes down for meters, whereas a lawn is compacted dirt after about a foot. There's a huge difference in stored carbon between them.

Its a complex ecosystem with the plants at the center, and trees, since they have the deepest roots do the best at promoting carbon uptake. Of course, if you clearcut a forest the soil ecosystem dies and the carbon eventually comes back out of the ground.

The current generation of 50+ years old developers came from a way smaller pool of developers when they all started 30+ years ago and that's the reason that only a minuscule of them still codes. The percentage of current younger developers still coding in their 50% will be more closer to other engineering fields based on amount of developers entering the field every year last 20 years (even considering how many will simply abandon doing development once hitting 30 or 40) - not everybody will become managers or start their own businesses.
I agree with what you are saying, just that the way you originally went about saying it by including a contrived hyperbolic example regarding slavery was a poor way to frame your position, at least in my opinion, and made your argument less likely to be received in good faith.
William Gaddis published his first novel (Recognitions) with 33, his next (JR) with 53, his third (Carpenter's Gothic) with 63, his fourth (A Frolic of His Own) with 72, and his fifth and last (Agapē Agape) with 80.

SEEKING WORK

Location: rural California

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No (but can be onsite occasionally)

Technologies: C++, Python, Swift, ObjC, Java, UIKit, OpenGL, Qt, Cocoa/UIKit, Win32, Linux, macOS/iOS

Résumé/CV: http://geoffprewett.com/resume.html

Email: prewettg a.t gmail com

I am looking for remote consulting work. I enjoy creating tools that are a joy to use to create things or to solve problems. My strength is my breadth: I have worked with the major platforms and languages, and regularly pick up new languages and APIs. Whether it is a green-field MVC or a million-line code base, I can be up and productive very quickly.
Japan to scrap remaining nuclear reactors in Fukushima
At forty I was just getting started. I'm 63 and I have done lots of super hard projects and I keep learning more and I have advanced up the tech ladder. And, the problems are harder than ever. For me the key is going after the hardest problems because that is what I like the most. Think system software, compilers, AI. It just seems to have been a good career move though that was never my intention. I've worked in areas of the software field that are thought of as difficult, and that has helped me.
Publicly, the CIA claims that they don’t use negative inducements.
Oh, I totally agree with everything you've said! Some collaborators I'm chatting with have more niche NLP applications where larger n would be valuable though. I don't want to go into too much detail yet since it's their project idea, and not sure on their comfort level on blasting it out to the public yet :)
I think another big factor is that past a certain point university prestige doesn't really matter in the US. In East Asia a lot of stock is put into reputation of university that you get into, but the well of decent American universities that get you good job prospects is much deeper.
While I think you're probably right, a blanket assumption that "they're smarter therefore they know best" is why everyone was so surprised by what happened to Enron. I do not think this is the case with Alphabet, just saying you shouldn't blindly trust experts. There's also the subprime mortgages issue from just over 10 years ago which is much better understood now, but at the time people didn't understand them and just assumed the experts were right.

That sounds very pragmatic. I probably would have suggested sitting down and making the changes together. However anything that avoids a couple of cycles of review is a bonus, it's super corrosive to productivity and often moral.
I don't know if these tips help that much. My dad is an older electrical engineer, with experience with embedded systems, telecommunications networks, Unix, and R, Python, and Data Science. He regularly has great phone interviews only to hear after the in person interview "We are moving forward with a different candidate."

My dad however is nearly bald with grey hair and his skin is a little worse for the wear.

I am very sad to seem him like this and wish I could do something for him. The only thing I can think of though is to tell him to look for remote roles so that they don't see what he actually looks like and won't discriminate against him.
It doesn't seem that surprising to me. The lack of clear US copyright status was entirely because there was no easy way to exhaustively search the copyright registration/renewal records, and now there is. If there is no renewal contained in these records, it is definitively not copyrighted.

Meeting notes: I can't take notes in real time very well on a computer, tablet, phone, etc. I scribble notes in a cheap notebook, and then later rewrite the notes, either with better (slower) handwriting into a nice notebook, if the notes are for me personally, or into (e.g.) a Google document or wiki page, if they are to share with others.
I enjoyed this article. The three main "plan B"s are:

- be an entrepreneur

- be a manager

- be a legacy tech wizard

It oversimplifies some points, but this is generally good advice and I can't think of any other plan B rather than those 3.
and even if this were possible, it requires a significant amount of freshwater to supply that many trees.
> When the tree dies, it will release 99% of the stored carbon back to the atmosphere.

It's not the tree which does that. It's the organisms consuming the tree during the decomposition process which do that. And that doesn't happen all at once. Indeed, if you grow another tree then you're likely to still be net-positive.

If you use the tree for other purposes -- construction, for example. Or burning for energy production -- then it becomes a useful part of the lifecycle.
Ahh--the lunch break comment assumed that this was a local change to hundreds of thousands of pages, so disregard that. I was commenting more on the notion that hundreds of thousands of files/urls/database records is a lot. It sounds like a lot to the average reader.
Absolutely, not to mention the ocean. A third of existing emissions are already absorbed by the oceans: https://www2.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/sea-carb-bish....
Yes water is a great way to describe electricity in a lot of ways. I'm just struggling with the "returning to where it originates". For instance the electricity didn't originate from the grounding rod it came from the transformer. Earth is providing a very low electrical potential that the electricity is "attracted" to or "falling" to in the reservoir example. Am I wrong in thinking that all electricity is flowing back into earth?
There is a guy here who cuts them down and regrows them from the stumps, selling the timber and feeding stock with the leaves and small branches.
Presumably this increases the carbon capture.

The details of this also vary based on where you're at. In the US, neutral is bonded to earth at every house I think. In Europe, neutral is only bonded to earth at a local power station.

I want to say thank you for all the "youngsters'" posts.
As someone who been in the industry for over four decades, I do get lost in some of the newfangled things. Turns out, most of the time it is a language change, not a dramatic world-view change.

Of the three points of the article, the last two (10 years major shift, ; shift creates leveling playing field) I disagree with.

I have seen some things that felt like major shifts, but once under the hood, they tend to be re-shaping and combining existing technologies. This often put me ahead of new-comers. I had not only the current technology, but I also understood the underlying historical technology.

There is no such thing as "irrelevant experience" in my opinion. For example - it is unlikely that Algol, SNOBOL or Fortan will make a new revival. But, all that experience gave me the edge to be able to recognize short-comings or advantages of newer programming languages.

So thanks for all the nice words here. It's time for me to swap my tapes in my PDP.
So when installing any electrical fixtures at home I should always connect “ground” (bond the fixture) first. I’ve been connecting it last (always with the power off but accidents can happen). This could lead to an injury if someone flipped the breaker on and I accidentally touched hot to myself or the case because the breaker wouldn't trip.
Sutton hoo is saxon IIRC.

> Most OSes on such platforms never supported any more than that amount of addressible memory in a user process at all.

And even when they do, it's going to be very rare to find 2GB of contiguous unused address space. With the default executable mapping low in the first GB and the stack right below 3GB, a single library mapped around the 2GB mark can fragment the address space enough to make a 2GB allocation impossible.
We're all about challenging societal norms here. Except public school, never question it's authority and place in society.
Not on the standard 3.5" but I believe I've seen some (very old very obscure) solutions like that.
The disc inside is, but I'm not sure the disk as a whole is soft enough to qualify? The casing is definitely not as solid as the 3.5" or 3" ones, but it doesn't exactly flop even if held by a corner. Even folding one in half isn't especially easy.
My question here, is, if this tree proposed a possible slice of solution to carbon capture, is it a "bad" thing if we let it spread over the world which would otherwise be hit by possibly run-away global warming?

From my perspective, and quoting interstellar "There's no time for caution"

I would go over and say that maybe even doing genetic altering of the tree, so it could fit our purposes better might be a good idea. Be it making it extremely vulnerable to specific herbicide or make it grow/capture carbon even faster

“Google/Apple invest their cash hoard very conservatively, in things like short-term treasuries, because of which their returns are very low”

This is actually wrong.

Apple alone wholly owns one of the world’s largest investment funds - Braeburn Capital - that actively manages over $270b of Apples assets leveraging very sophisticated investment strategies.

The extent to which managing its cash is now a value-add part of Apple’s business is well outlined in the tongue-in-cheek article from WSJ “Apple Is a Hedge Fund That Makes Phones”

It's also not one exam, in the sense that it gets held multiple times a year and retaking it (if you're willing to pay for it) is possible and a lot of people do it and submit their best scores.

The SAT & ACT are also mostly limited to the humanities and math (and science for the ACT), with an optional writing section. China requires Math, Chinese, a foreign language, and any three of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Politics, and History. With the SAT all those elective subjects are separate exams and most people do not take them.
