All WebAssembly can do, can be done with Javascript (there are no new capabilities). But WASM can do it a bit faster. It is also easier to convert non-JS code to WASM than to JS.

You can still create websites the way you created them 25 years ago. They will work in all browsers. All the web code (HTML, JS, CSS...) is always visible to the browser and the user, nothing can be hidden (otherwise, the browser would not be able to show a website).

I guess you are complaining about authors putting all HTML code on a singe line, or naming JS variables with one letter. But they could do it 25 years ago, too. It does not mean you have to do it.
Time zones are a thing.

As blue collar jobs vanish, programming is becoming the new manufacturing. Oftentimes that unfortunately involves a focus less on elegant design and more on a simple closing of x number of tickets. We have developed our own production pipeline where x number of widgets have to be completed each day. With that said, the pay is generally decent but if you have not made it to a Sr. level job by your 40's, it can be tough.

Programming also has the unique benefit of allowing you the freedom to build your own business with almost zero capital. Even if that business only earns you $500 a month, nothing is stopping you from building 5 more.

Complicating that though is very often its hard to muster energy after working 11 hour days 6 days a week depending on the job.
The only problem I've ever encountered was when US pumps demanded a zip code. Of course, I'd just enter the only US zip code I knew of (90210). It usually worked.

> Nowhere does it say that Google plans to shutter GCP if it doesn't reach #1 by 2023.

No, but it also doesn't say they're in for the long haul in case they don't end up on top and with Google's well documented and long history of killing products you really can't fault people for wondering if it is wise to build on top of GCP no matter what the advantages.

There's a reason all of the big western companies left China.

I'd bet money China's economy could be growing 10x faster if it had independent courts and foreign companies who become successful weren't treated like criminals.

China's growth has been massive but it's a shadow of what it could be. Their growth rate should have been closer to SK, Singapore, and Taiwan by now. But they decided to go backwards:

People with real knowledge to the matter knows that GCP is growing, and more companies are adopting GCP every month.

This is an attempt (which according to some of the comments here quite succeed) to create a story where there is no story.

Should Google Cloud aim to be better and bigger? Sure.
Should Google / Alphabet execs need to discuss challenges and strategy? Sure.

What and where is the story?

GCP produce new products and features every week [1]

At my company, we use all major 3 clouds.
The GCP support is super fast.
The GCP price is better than other two.

Google indeed has a learning curve as a company, and that is at the area of selling to the enterprise.
By its DNA, Google is an engineering company, and it takes years to understand how to "attack" the market, build teams of sales, marketing, and all the supporting infrastructure, and they do it.

Time will tell how successful they are, but I cannot see any option for them to shut down this great platform known as GCP. It simply make no sense.

There is a trend in the media in the recent months to rant about Google by all means and angles, and I tend to think this article is just one of those.

Furthermore almost any programming language is going to be pretty much impossible to analyse the behaviour of. There are are some pretty fancy theorems about incomputability, but really it's just because you can build a compiler that reads obfuscated byte code.

Forget not being able to use string matching, there are no programs capable of predicting the behaviour of programs without effectively running it in a sandbox.
For a reference essay on the shift from Big Bird to Elmo:

https://kotaku.com/how-elmo-ruined-sesame-street-1746504585

Major thesis:
"It started in small ways. A lot of stories used to be based around Big Bird, who was psychologically characterized as a six-year-old. And in a lot of ways, this was ideal—six years old was on the older end of Sesame Street’s age demographic, and Big Bird served as both a role model and a peer to his audience. Big Bird’s comparative maturity also meant that he could project a wide range of emotions—he was ‘old enough’ to understand mature concepts, such as the permanence of Mr. Hooper’s death."

"Elmo stories, on the other hand, tend to affirm and celebrate the child’s perspective. Rarely, if ever, is Elmo’s innocence challenged, or is he forced to think about someone’s happiness other than his own. He spends most of his time hanging out with Zoe, Abby, Telly, and Baby Bear—Muppets who share his emotional maturity, and unlike Grover, Kermit, and Ernie, do nothing to push him. In fact, he is the de facto leader of his group—the dialogue lowers to Elmo’s level, rather than rising to an older character’s. And while this is cute and fun, it gets old fast, and it doesn’t really go anywhere. Elmo is learning about counting to four and different shapes, but he’s not learning a whole lot of life lessons."

> honestly makes me worried about the future of the field in terms of whether it'll still be a good career in the future.

I had the same thoughts back in the late 90's and early 00's. Everytime I told someone I was interested in CS, they thought it was because of the money. While working on the major many people told me my job was going to go overseas and that the future was in managing developers. In fact, during my first internship, my boss thought that way and said in the future programming would be done by low paid individuals overseas or that programs would be generated by computers from flow diagrams (which she liked creating).

Things turned out differently and the field has grown and only become more lucrative. I only see the number of jobs for CS majors growing, and I actually wonder if there will be enough good programmers to fill them. Not everyone can write code, and I still run into developers who can barely code. If you're good at coding, you can go far.

Additionally, I really enjoy programming. It's fun and rewarding to solve problems and to build things that people use. If you're good at coding, I wouldn't worry about the future, I see it being very bright.

"OR you can note that 95%+ (and probably well higher than that) of climate scientists recognize that human cause climate science is fact"

You realize that those "x% of scientists agree" claims are yet again based on models that are sometimes questionable? I've looked into the 97% claim (I think by "Cook"), which is based on manual estimates of summaries of papers. One problem is, how are the papers selected. Another problem is the human bias in categorizing the summaries (where does the human doing the categorizing draw the line for "supports man made global warming"). The biggest issue, however, in my opinion, is that even if most papers consent that humans affect the climate, that doesn't mean they all agree to the same level of influence.

Meaning assuming it is true, the study found 97% of papers/scientists agree that humans affect the climate. That doesn't imply 97% agree with the dramatic doomsday scenarios.

I can say that I sympathized with your approach, like taking the Coursera course. Although I fear it won't really help, because you can not be sure that they will teach you all the facts you need to know. It may be just a course designed to convince you that global warming exists.

But anyway - trying to understand the science is obviously a good idea, if you have the spare time.

But then you lost me completely with the 95% consensus claim. It's just a flag that goes up that says "you are one of those people", making me tend to ignore all your further arguments, or at least assign them a low likelihood of truth.

A rising tide lifts all boats. Are more companies adopting GCP because they are leaving Amazon/Azure? Or is it simply because the market is still immature and growing fast?
> But I disagree on some core orthodoxies. I think the root cause is deforestation / removal of carbon sinks, and a even lower-level root cause is simple human overpopulation. The amount of missing biomass from trees over the last few hundred years tracks very neatly with CO2 levels, as does of course human population levels.

Burned fossil fuels has well understood isotope signatures and can also be measured via satellite. We've got a LOT of data that human emissions of CO2 via burning fossil fuels accounts for the bulk of CO2 increase we measure in the atmosphere.

I think the original MX (what was it called, the 1000? Revolution?) had the three buttons and no thumbwheel and it was great for reading code and for playing a couple video games.

When they added the thumb wheel they moved the buttons too far back to be used comfortably. So it went in a drawer and I went back to the old one, found someone with leftover inventory and bought a spare for when the first wore out. When the second finally gave up the ghost I was not really playing those games anymore, but I still miss scanning code with page-up/page-down.

The 3 seems to compromise between the two. I just noticed it was available a couple days ago, so I'll be ordering one soon I expect.

Unpopular opinion: it's not a good career unless you are the best of the best.

IMO blue collar work is a better option because it's easier work and more stable, and lets you have a life outside work. In software the hours are increasing to no real benefit, and free time is burnt just keeping with the times. The evolution of tools, best practices and high availability of quality knowledge has made it trivial to spin up new hires which makes everyone highly expendable; not to mention that there are now millions of unwashed masses happy to accept lower wages just for their chance.

There was a HN post a while back where some guy was begging to pay for a code job. What does that tell you? Software workers are also now pitted against a global market with outsourcing and programs like H-1B which has raised the bar by increasing the pool of highly educated candidates and people who commit resume fraud. They're likely also more willing to work long hours for less pay just to be in the US. Software wages have also stagnated for ten years.
I think it depends on your goals. I have a somewhat lengthy list of companies whose products/services I will not buy for various reasons. I don't consider it a "boycott", though, because my intent isn't to encourage those companies to change. I simply don't want to support them. Doing that works very well for me, because my entire goal is to avoid involving myself with them.

I combine this with another "vote with my dollar" practice -- with everything I buy, I buy as local as possible. Ideally, this is a small businessperson in my community. I do this because I strongly believe that I could not have achieved the success that I have achieved without the active support and investment of my local community -- so staying local when possible is one way I can repay my neighbors for that. That works, too.

If your goal is to change the behavior of large corporations, then yes -- not buying their stuff isn't going to accomplish that unless you can convince a really large number of people to join you. That's a real boycott, and history shows us that its effectiveness is spotty.
I am mozillas diehard fan as firefox goes but I DO NOT trust them. I still remember some company with best search engine that got vapirised over the years and I am not prepared to trust anyone. Mozilla has some shady practices with their "research add-ons" and I am blocking their domains from firefox and using another browser to download addons.

And I will surely not allow some firm in a country with vague laws allow to do all my name resolution. Not to mozilla, not to google, not to cloudflare or anyone else (currently running unbind with caching on huge list of DNSs all over EU in random order).

ISP? They are obligated to follow the law in my country. Spying on its user would make it a criminal offense investigation, potentionally bringing their management behind bars. No, they wont even try, it is too dangerous for them.

I trust my ISP way more than mozilla. Based on law in my country. It is not DNS system to change (actually it is but convincing me that adding ssl layer on top of highly efficient protocol is worse than rolling everything trough https and changing all existing systems? I'll pass, sounds like a complex solution for simple non-problem, I am sick of looking on those in last decade), it is a law in YOUR country that allows your ISPs to spy on users and this is something that needs to change.

> Even farmers, it might not be necessary, but it can make a huge difference.

As a software developer by day, farmer by night, I'm not sure there is much overlap. Some of the problem solving skills I learned on the farm have made me a better programmer, I expect, but I don't see much advantage in building software for my farm. Anything you can dream of is available commercially at a fraction of the cost it would take to build it yourself. As the saying goes, technology is developed in the military, adopted by agriculture, and then exposed to the rest of the world.

That said, the story is quite different for my new side venture in a consumer market, however. I could easily turn development into a full time job in that industry. There is a lot lacking in what already exists.

> The article is just fear mongering bs,

The article cites plenty of cases demonstrating how insecure the devices are. Are those cases BS?

> The problem is with people using stupid passwords

Your comment makes no sense at all. A flimsy lock doesn't become automatically secure if you argue that the lock owners have mishandled the key. The fact is that the system has been demonstrated that the system's security is lacking and at best is very vulnerable. The fact that all you need to penetrate their system is an email address and a password is more than enough to demonstrate the depth of the problem.

Google letting the Google Maps API rot on the vine even as they raise their rates for developers and exactly zero support for effected users is a perfect example of how they are pulling the rug out.

Also, as has been mentioned, if your option is tolerating seriously crappy support or having a service pulled entirely, most people would take the crappy support.

It sounds like your friends, who got into it for the money, may be the kind that burn out and not get into it later on in life. If what you say is true, you're more passionate about it and will continue to code even in the bad times.

Use it as a platform to find problems you want to solve, and use your knowledge to solve those problems.

CS has _always_ involved unsustainable hours. The trick is to get good enough so that you don't have to do that. Maybe go into a more niche field (like what I'm doing)
