This is a good point - some of what we are calling cheap crap just wasn't being made before.

Besides there being more stuff of every type of buy, the purchasing power of the dollar has declined, so maybe people can't afford a toaster that's as good any more?

I have ADHD and have been working as a full stack dev for the last five years. If it's something that you find stimulating, being a programmer can be a good career choice.

At least for me, I find that the combination of logical and creative skills needed as a developer allows me to stay stimulated and focused more than I've been able to at any of the other jobs I've had in the past. And since I interact with computers far more than people, I'm in a fortunate position where I can throw my headphones on and dive into a project 100% without worrying about having to talk too much with others about it or do something else to take my focus elsewhere.

That said, I do take medication so I'm definitely being helped along in the focus department.

The only downside that I have found is not specifically programming related, just the realities of working in an office. I find myself easily distracted by others in the workspace, and since I work at a big company there's always a lot of people moving back and forth going to meetings and stuff like that. I have headphones on 99% of the time and have a desk facing out a window and away from the rest of the office, but as anyone with ADHD knows it's impossible to NOT notice things, especially if it's someone/something moving at the edge of your peripheral vision, so I still find myself becoming distracted from time to time. But as time goes on I get better about being more disciplined and snapping my focus back to the screen when these distractions pop up.

I sometimes cut out early during the week and come in on a weekend to make up the hours. I find that I am much more productive when I am the only one in the office and there's nothing to distract me.

Maybe I don't understand your question, but there's a huge network effect of people browsing the site and answering questions. Anybody can put up a Q&A site, but to gain traction the site needs answers.

It does raise the question of what happens when StackExchange shuts down. There's a lot of knowledge stored there, hopefully it's not lost.
ah. I hadn't realized how much the participants themselves were quiet about it. Then it makes sense that it's not more well-known.

Throwaway account.

Although I studied CS and did most of the coursework, I do not have a formal degree.

I do have public profiles, top ranked on a popular programming site, dozen open source projects and I wrote a book.

In short: I had all the time in the world for a degree, if it weren't for all the other activities I am involved in.

In the world today, you can contribute to a project easily and get hired. Building a portfolio has never been easier.

In fact, my current job came to be because of a small tool, that I put online.

And I do have hundreds of ideas for portfolio (and fun) projects, which I would be sure would get me hired at places. If I only had a few weeks or month off to get them off the ground.

In short: Find some technology or problem you are interested in and try to find a way to contribute in a friendly, and recognizable way.

I don’t think that a single week of training will prepare someone for a new job. I was thinking that it would be useful to check interest before spending lots of time in a longer program.

That being said it’s weird how many companies don’t pay for training, even simple stuff like LinkedIn Education and Coursera. So it would be nice to have more of these, especially curated, by a more independent source like a library or community college so it wasn’t tied to jobs.

There are also some great week or less trainings that can help improve performance. It’s surprising how many people can’t use Microsoft Office. I recently got to help people use Word and OneDrive and it was neat seeing how much work sucked before they figured out how to save files and edit files. This is someone that is simple to digital natives but a little bit of training can help extend careers.

Dumb question - do these correct for quality of life factors? Exercise, to some degree, is a luxury. Is this just another case of people who have access to nice things doing better?
A compromised app. The vulnerability requires local code execution, so either an app you install and run, or a malicious webpage that somehow breaks out of the browser sandbox, or... loading a specially constructed video file in a vulnerable version of VLC, or something. Basically you need to combine this with some other vulnerability or convince the user to just straight up run the code.
I bought an $8 toaster from Walmart some years ago when I consider the economy better(cause I was also able to buy a $20 microwave).

It has a plastic exterior, and a metal interior. The thermal regulator was luckily designed for this, if you start more bread immediately after the first pair it will finish faster and with less cooking.

It's a very reliable toaster for $8 , and if it breaks I'm going to feel like an asshole when I throw it in the garbage.

I used it in January when I toasted some banana bread.

Sure it might disrupt other businesses, but if I had all the free time in the world and enough money, I'd find something to do. Maybe I'd start my own small farm, or sell prepared meals, or sharpen knives professionally, or run a political campaign, or volunteer for my favorite charity. You know, the kinds of stuff well off rich kids do.

Why is everyone so convinced people need to be told what to do to stay busy and engaged in the world?

Yes, it's frustrating when people casually conflate using any alternative source of apps than official app stores with actual malicious application sources.

The reality is, you don't need to "trust" the source in general, you just need to trust that the source is not malicious. If the source is untrusted but you have faith it is not malicious then you can rely on Android's built in permissions system to protect you from it exceeding the bounds of what you would like it to do.

This may sound very pedantic, but the whole existence of an app ecosystem that isn't controlled by the hegemony of the 2 or 3 big app stores depends on this nuance.
if you do it to older jobs you have and not the current one then it's very possible and no one can tell or try to find out, so just go for it, many people do it
Get a Lexus and have it service at Toyota. Done.
I'm not saying that backbreaking work doesn't exist within automotive manufacturing, but that categorizing the entire workforce as engaging in such work is clearly a gross exaggeration the way modern manufacturing is done.

Sure, backbreaking work exists within the industry, but you can also tell from how some people are dressed (just street clothes with no safety gear) and by how fast the line moves that there's a lot of jobs that are no more physically demanding than some office work or fast food work.

E.g. it's someone's job to sit in a new car and make sure all the buttons and interface elements work, or to visually inspect the paint job and flag blemishes for fixing further down the line etc.
The equivalent to circling things on paper is selecting check boxes next to items on a touch screen. Which is just as easy, if not even easier (easy to cancel a selection which is not so easy once something is already circled on paper).
Thanks, the ambiguous wording from the article suggested to me that a vulnerability in the system code used for installing from an untrusted source may be used by the exploit.
Wait until you have to replace the transmission or something else that’s common in the first 10 years. $10 for an s4 transmission is way more than for a Toyota.

> This seems like a reasonable definition of implanting

"Implanting memories" must necessarily imply "...of something that didn't happen" for the expression to not lose all value. Touching you on the arm may cause you to remember being touched on the arm, but nobody calls that "implanting a memory of being touched" instead of "touching you".

I think in this context the memory sounds more like muscle memory rather than conscious memory. So they're not lying per se, they're just not being as clear as they could be.
Agree. Toasters of all kinds say not to put fingers or utensils inside the unit. Putting things into toasters could make them electrically "hot", don't rely on the lever.

> it is not plausible that the Mahabharata as a whole is a record composed by a single author, at a point in history.

I agree. I don't think I argued against that? Responding to the wrong comment perhaps?

The Bhagavad Gita in particular is a section of the Mahabharata that has seen more revisions over time than the rest of th epic. In fact the name of the purported author "Vyasa" itself means "arranger", implying that he was organizing stories he received from others.
I ask this as an honest question, and not as a form of bait. But the virtue of using “they/their” is that you’re being respectful of the fact that you’re not assuming anything. My problem with this suddenly becoming offensive is that I don’t see how I’m supposed to remember the additional meta of an individual’s pronouns - I already have enough trouble remembering names! Is it not creating too much of a meta minefield for...well I’m actually not sure what the gain is. Isn’t this just looking for offense where none is intended?

Sure, just model the relative probability that each hacking group will find a vulnerability. For a simple example, let's just say there are 5 organizations in the world that are equally good as NSO. So the odds that NSO were the first to find this one are 20%. In reality I think the odds would be quite a bit worse.
When/if the ECs get to be a lot cheaper than the ICEs, I think you'll see a 'fast fashion' in cars. Like with smart-phones, the accessorization will take off too; pop-sockets, cases, backgrounds, etc. Sure, it'll be less money overall, but it'll be good too.
This comment is gross.

I've repeatedly acknowledged the existence of USG surveillance programs, including Dual-EC. I believe the "hours" I've spent discussing Dual-EC and PKRNGs in general are also straightforwardly countable; just use the search box:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

What you're doing here is deceptively reframing a subtle nerd technical argument as a normative argument about USG surveillance. In particular: at no point have you or anyone else ever witnessed me arguing that Dual-EC was okay; rather, my argument was that Dual-EC was so batshit, and such poor tradecraft, that it was unlikely to be a serious NSA program. My argument at the time mirrored that of Bruce Schneier: "never use this, no competent engineer would". My twin mistakes: I overestimated both NSA and the industry, in particular vendors like Juniper, which did in fact implement this standard.

What's even dumber about this comment is that you're making it in support of an argument virtually nobody in the field supports, which is that the NIST P-curves are somehow "backdoored". As you know, or at least should know before talking about this stuff, there is virtually no relationship between the P-curves and Dual-EC. But you're happy to exploit the general lack of understanding about the distinction to score points on HN, even if means dumbing the whole thread down.

To head off some other comment you'll write 6 months from now without me noticing: you can easily peruse the site history and see me consistently arguing against use of the P-curves (in fact, I cite the P-curves is a damning failure of DNSSEC, which you'll no doubt find some fig leaf some years from now to claim I also support). But not because the curves are "backdoored"; rather, because modern curves are misuse-resistant.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Since I'm assuming you have at least the ability to Google, I'm expecting you to cite Bernstein's analyses of the flexibility NSA's generation process provided for hunting for vulnerable curves. To see that outré claim rebutted, here's another Google search for you: [koblitz menezes enigma curve]. Happy to help.

Meanwhile, your message betrays no evidence of understanding what misuse-resistance in curves means, though you've been happy to preen about cofactors and Schnorr signatures on other threads; you depict the choice between 25519 and P-384 as one between a "suspicious generation mechanism' and an "immature" alternative. Of course, that's not why serious designs use 25519; rather, it's because 25519 is less susceptible to curve point validation vulnerabilities and is designed to be straightforwardly implemented without side channels.

Your comment is one of the most gratuitously uncivil and mean-spirited things I've had directed at me on this site, and I have been the target of a lot of mean-spirited bullshit here.
>Can we please get batteries with built-in protection circuits?

If quantum supremacy was not possible, wouldn't that mean that something is wrong with our physics understanding?

So when people say quantum supremacy is impossible, do they say that the device itself is extremely complicated to build (like an earth to moon elevator for example), or that quantum supremacy isn't allowed not even in principle?

> I think it's more likely that the basic math (algebra, geometry, etc)

I am a senior full stack developer and typically in the top 10% of the developers in my org wherever I've gone past 5 years.

I do 0 algebra or geometry. I call APIs, I put stuff in databases. I store state.

I really don't think it's "math"y at all. I transform data, I use libraries. I can't think of any algebraic examples of anything I've done in the past 5 years, let alone geometry.

Wasn't trying to be mean, but to understand his perspective when he stated that "For anyone smaller, it's hard to justify the constant need to rewrite code just to stay in the same place. Return on investment is just not there."

His reply post goes a bit more into his story of trying to update the app: https://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2019/Oct/msg00027... . While I get author's gone through some rough experiences, I wonder he could have sought outside investment/advising to get a solid rewrite done & grow the business.
One advantage of working alone is that you will inevitably be closer to the business, its product, and its users. To me that has been worth more than working with a high performing development team. I am not in a US tech center, my road to decent compensation is not being a brilliant technician in high paying companies.

I do notice in technical arguments on the internet I often seem to come out of leftfield. It took me a while to realise it was because people in larger teams have an entirely different perspective when it comes to tools and technology. I need a Toyota and they need an Airbus.
Headlines like this set off my BS detector and make me want to run the other way. First, it's stock market, not stockmarket. Second, without a quantifier the claim is meaningless.
I beg to differ. The relevant part of the top-level story boils down to "Someone was fired, and others resigned in protest / solidarity". Do you really believe that "no one" was confused? I think it's hard _not_ to read the wrong "resigned" there in this context.

More relevant to the subject matter, your confident assertion, speaking for everyone, belies a lack of empathy. Finally, I find it interesting that none of this would have been confusing or even ambiguous except that we're using written language to communicate.

Have a nice day!

The tone of the comments here at HackerNews are basically:

middle age blue collar workers can't learn a natural language or a programming language

I really have to ask, what makes us "programmers" so elite? I find it hard to believe that if your average person spent 90 months learning programming that they couldn't scrape by as a mid-level web developers. I have developers in my org who go weeks without committing and management seems to have no problem with that. If that's the quality accepted, why can't that be taught in 90 days?
> Japan always had a culture of excellence, they put their heart and soul into their jobs.

Hello No. What you see is only what is happening in very few industries in Japan, but "excellence" does not describe Japan at large. Worker productivity is incredibly low (too many meetings with people who have nothing to do there), lack of individual leadership/initiative, and "cluelessness" is rather the norm than anything else. Just look at how badly designed are most websites, how badly designed are most products made locally (cars and a few other industries are an exception) and how they only value small increments instead of trying completely new approaches (they could never have made the iPhone despite them having all the pieces ready 10 years before).

> always

No, after WII for a long time Americans considered Japanese products as being cheap rip-offs of what they produced themselves and that only changed after 1970s.

> excellence

How about their excellence at using English, by the way? Their attention to detail when it comes to using other languages? I hope you realize how wrong it is to make blanket statements.
I've observed that Stack Exchange is worse now than when it started and that the points award system moulds and warps respondents.

Now that it has gone overtly commercial they face issues which may not be solved.

What will programmers do to fix this, will they come up with an alternate architecture?

I guess programmers could take the questions they've answered. Reformulate their answers (and hopefully update them in many cases) and publish them in a distributed way, under their own control.
Not sure if it's that exact one, but according to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=19... it was fixed in "Dec 2017 in the 4.14 LTS kernel, AOSP android 3.18 kernel, AOSP android 4.4 kernel, and AOSP android 4.9 kernel".
The move motivated by Full Self Drive away from full-time ownership and towards robotaxis should indeed reduce the number of personally owned vehicles, but would it really reduce the number of vehicles?

Instead of vehicles driving 150K miles over 11 years (~~ average car age now in US) a robotaxi could burn through 500 miles in a day or 500K miles in 2.7 years. They'd certainly need the interior replaced several times in that period.

Overall miles driven, could it increase with robotaxis, if the cost per mile is less than for owned cars? I'd think so, since it would open up car usage to whole new classes of people who don't use cars much, since they can now 'buy' the usage of the car a lower rates and in the smallest package, of only the miles they need.

Anyone have some data that points more strongly in either direction?
