So yeah, I graduated from a top-tier art school which had very high tuition but I also had considerable grants and scholarships so I was able to pay off my student loans in a few years after graduating working a blue-collar job.

I experienced four years of group critiques, and really value that as an activity. Unfortunately very few people understand or can appreciate how directly that maps to software development.

My two cents, guidance counselors just need to shut the fuck up when it comes to talking with high-school students. There is so little knowledge about what different careers actually entail that I think it is impossible for high-school students to make informed decisions about what they want to focus on.

While I think getting a BFA was the right choice for me I also think that the school environment could have been much more beneficial and productive than it was (mostly due to students in other majors being disruptive due to their drinking and partying during the week.)

Yep!

Considering that the metrics above are still considered viable at the dawn of 2020 proves how much opportunity still remains for managers to improve the measurement -> incentives -> long-term outcomes achieved by their team. To their credit, the instinct that leads managers to utilize these metrics is sound. They know that the best businesses make their best decisions using data. But so much depends upon whether the data is any good. When you place trust in a metric like commit count, you're liable to end off worse than if you'd used no data at all (i.e., by pitting the team against one another).

Our opinion is that a less bad metric would be one that harnessed the signal lurking deep within lines of code, while rinsing away its noise. The metric would consider "issues resolved," but only after normalizing for implementation complexity, so developers that work in front-end systems don't take the lion's share of credit after resolving a myriad of tiny tickets.

They can, but capitalism is an accelerator that allows you to engage in this behavior on a scale that is unprecedented. Maybe the Chinese will show us that it can be even worse but for now the 'West' is solidly in the lead, for whatever that is worth.
20th century capitalism also led to many deaths.

And the death count for "socialism" usually includes Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, and Nazi Germany, all of which were primarily nationalist governments - in the same way that North Korea is actually a very old-fashioned hereditary absolute monarchy decorated with Stalinist branding.

The closest economies to real socialism are the high-taxation, high-spending Scandinavian social democracies, which score higher than the US on educational attainment, business opportunity, life-expectancy, and educational attainment - but don't do nearly as well at generating billionaires.

The real foundation of social democracy is aggressive wealth redistribution and broad democratic access to policy - not state control. In reality capitalism is far more controlled than social democracy because it operates as a plutocracy that privileges a small demographic. This demographic has exclusive control over policy through lobbying, "funding" of representatives, and the creation and propagation of economic (i.e. "moral") narratives that benefit them - irrespective of party labels.

Against this background, the fact that academics may be debating what exploitation means is very much a side issue.

I find PowerPoint to be the most easily replaceable program in the Office suite because effective presentations do not depend on cool animations or themes to get the message accross. The best presentations I've seen have had black text on a plain white background with clear and precise language. Either that or presentations that only consist of images or diagrams and no text.

You do probably want swap, but the comment you are replying to is talking about a swap _partition_ and that is not the only way to do swap. Using a file instead makes it easier to change the size of your swap, some people prefer that.
Some people get paid to have original thoughts while others get paid to not have original thoughts. To me that seems like a pretty clear line. It isn't about whether the people can be creative or not, but whether they are expected to be creative at work.

We don't live in a world where "sophisticated communication" alone gets you hired unfortunately. Primary/secondary education is meant to build reasonably well rounded individuals who meet the basic skills to function well in society. Paying significant amounts of money to do that for an additional four years with no return on investment, whether it's the individual or the taxpayers at large, is silly.
It’s really a complicated topic - is it a new project vs. maintenance, etc. In new project my metric was around 500 LOC of C++ code (production ready) per day. In maintenance, it could be a line a day (if you’re lucky).
All about your reference point, right? If your reference point is pong, Super Mario World is incredibly complex.

I don't think Super Mario World had richer interaction than Super Mario 64—quite the opposite, in fact, even putting aside the addition of 3D.

(Super Mario World is a better game though.)
Sure, but my point stands - 35-40% is not enough to turn a profit for them.

What's the difference between a PPA and a repo from some guy you don't know or trust?
i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt since you generally style yourself as voice of reason on hn.

that being said you're not addressing my challenge, that this thing

>That's what blogs are for.

isn't actually the case.

take for example your characterization of this kind of miscellany

>shitty first drafts of things

can you name another medium/form/forum where authors publish "shitty first drafts"? why is blogging different? because it is ephemeral and has 0 mass by virtue of being digital?

on the contrary take something like twitter, for example, and compare its relative weight, ephemerality, inchoateness to your blog posts; tweets are very much fair game for all any kind of engagement.
Why not?

If the Atlantic is so damn smart, why don't I give a shit about their forum? And why don't you?

Maybe PG's essays wouldn't survive on the front page (all glory be to the masses who bestow their wisdom on us by voting!) if they were written by someone else. But they weren't written by someone else.

I wouldn’t count it as productive when the outcome is he has to spend time in court explaining himself later. I’d venture to guess the time spends directing his employees is whether all the productivity happens.
(After going to a fancy private school...)

IMO, Fancy private schools are like fancy luxury cars. Expensive, and get you from point A to point B just as fast as the ultra-reliable mass market cars.

The only difference is that you pay more, and you might be slightly more comfortable... And the fancy cars tend to break down more often.

In my case, my parents really pushed me towards a fancy private school. (I wanted to go to the cheaper state school.) When applying, I noticed that the state school was accredited in Computer Science, but the private school was not. While in school, I realized that my professors were clueless. A few years later, I learned that the state school had one of the best computer science departments in the world, but no one heard of my fancy private school.

I realized that my parents were clueless about how education works, but because they didn't get to go to college right out of high school, they equated cost with quality.

Some times it's nice to pay extra money to sit in traffic in a fancy luxury car; but it's only worth it if you aren't going into extensive debt for that car.
But neither of those policies is the result of Prop 13, which is what the parent implied.

What does the law of averages have to say about 435 out of 2 million? My point is that Rayiner was more right than the parent comment: AOC's election doesn't refute the point that a huge number of humanities degree recipients are durably underemployed.
Another way to phrase this (which was put to me by my own parents): "What type of day do you want to typically have?"

(ie., indoors vs. outdoors, meeting lots of people vs. solitary environment, strict routine vs unpredictable, etc)
I did this when I was young, and I don't think it got me anywhere. I should have spent my 20s doing a lot surfing or something, anything really other than what I did. I should have got home at 5, and if that got me fired, whatever, got another job.
honestly not quite sure how to respond to this. the obvious response to "what's 4 more?" is that it's a lot more money than zero more, and each of those last four years is going to be considerably more expensive than a year of grade school.

I don't mind having my tax dollars go towards helping young people establish stable careers so they can become self-sufficient. I also don't mind paying to educate them so the can go out and help the needier members of society. I just don't think stuff like art history is a good investment of public money. I have a lot of friends who got art history degrees, which is why I use this example. they had a great time in school, but they would be hard pressed to point to any tangible benefits from the degree. most of them ended up having to pursue certifications for unrelated fields.

If you find something you love doing and can do it in the way you want, 80 hours isn't bad at all if you're otherwise unencumbered.

I did a 7 month stretch where I was working from home, on my own schedule, doing what I loved, and was doing 15-18 hour days 6 days a week (~90-100/week), while still managing to have/cook dinner and a bit of downtime with my now-wife each day, plus a full day off. It was fantastic.

Once the product was live the work shifted just so slightly from pure create/build to maintenance/improvements, going into the office a couple of days a week, and suddenly even 60 hours felt like a lot, and eventually it was just a job and I was doing 40-45.

I think it's more a matter of finding the right thing and schedule for you rather than imposing some kind of convention onto it.

I wonder if autoplay was just a scheme to bump up these numbers for shareholders? Frequently, I'd used to leave my xbox running netflix, because the xbox takes 5 mins to start up, and just shut off the TV. Not anymore now that it would watch an entire made for netflix movie in the background and start polluting the feed with innumerable potemkin netflix series I'd never even heard of. Engagement while I'm sleeping in bed.

I think in the context of the current presidential race, Amy Klobuchar could be closest to described as an intentional moderate. Namely someone who focuses on simply just changing laws at the cost of any sort of deeper ideological belief, at least with regards to how she frames her view point rather than by defending her proposals within their own merit she focuses on the compromise aspect.

Biden on the other hand is clearly a traditional liberal, not a social democrat, socialist, or progressive. At the same time, George H.W. Bush, or even Mitt Romney, are also a liberals in the same sense, with both politicians being pulled in different directions because of where their party currently stands. This sort of view point isn't moderate in any sense of the word, a liberal, who believes in free markets and has a globalist world view is a unified political theory for how things should be done.

However, a person who is an accidental moderate themselves, who never developed their own or latched onto any unified broad political theory, would tend to support candidates like the above because the American political system tends towards liberal capitalism as being the political center.
To the contrary, I'd argue that the expulsion of Jewish academics and their ultimate exodus or execution directly led to the Nazi's failure to develop atomic weapons.

As well there are notable examples of Germans who didn't build weapons "with a smile" for the Nazis, and the usage of slave labor in the war machine harmed their industrial capacity through sabotage.
Sure: Twitter, and Hacker News comments. Two places I write a lot (one of which Paul Graham uses as well). What's annoying is that putting something in a better medium --- blog posts are better than both Twitter and HN comments for a number of reasons --- they're elevated in this weird way to the front page of HN.
There was a big push in California over the past few years to build out regulatory structure for this. They even passed a bill [0] (NPR article) to enable it -- though they explicitly carved out third party delivery services.

flash was only bad due to the inherent vulnerabilities and capabilities that browsers werent expected to have (such as being able to write to disk directly).

WASM can be sandboxed properly, unlike flash.
Less architetural registers means more expensive stack spills and reloads. 8 (7 really and often 6) registers is too little. 16 is about right for the vast majority of programs.

In theory memory can be renamed as well, but this was not done untill the very last intel and amd architectures and, IIRC, it still has to be conclusively confirmed.
I think there is a distinction to be made. You can explain IF to someone in 5 minutes and they can do it tomorrow. That’s how I heard about it. Nobody owns the idea.

Taking your example, Lean Gains is a niche application for men trying to improve their physique, and it includes exercise and motivational components. This is pretty different to the Atkins diet for example, where the book is the diet, and they don’t really exist independently.
I don't believe anyone really does 60 hours. I just don't think it is possible and I don't think you can call sitting at a desk doing nothing "work".
Which makes my point even more. It's even easier to get these jobs when you don't need years and years of school. And the salaries and perks will outpace what you get by getting into trades.

Not trying to devalue trades, they are great ways to get into a skilled job, but we can't pretend that they are silver bullets to achieving a happy, successful life.
Or a pretty yawning wealth disparity that Erdogan has created for his supporters. BMW and Porsche sell plenty of cars in Turkey, even with the obnoxious taxes mentioned above.

In a more neutral way of phrasing it, per-person Turkish GDP PPP is now higher than Greece and closing in on Italy. (https://tradingeconomics.com/turkey/gdp-per-capita-ppp)

Without commenting on who holds it, there’s plenty of wealth there.

To me BASIC syntax always looks like a clunky version of C syntax and the pre-processor code you wrote is just what I have in mind when seeing this.

Right. At any time, most phones will be lying on something like a table. If they all sense something, it's a big external event.
I’m not seeing that. What I’m seeing is that a lot of companies are hiring cheap (relatively speaking) junior or outsourced developers and a few “architects”.

In the cloud consulting space or the generic “digital transformation” space, you have a few customer facing consultants and lots of low paid people doing the grunt work.

I am not seeing any shortage of openings for either “principal software engineers”, or architects. Of course, I’m staying away from the west coast. The major cloud providers and their partners are hiring in most major cities as long as you’re close to a major airport. I happen to live near the world’s busiest airport.

I suspect Nintendo may have started with a Z80 core and then customised it a little bit, similar to what they did with the almost-6502 in the NES.
You may be different but I find it impossible to work from home.

My parents were living this lifestyle. My dad routinely worked 100+ hour weeks, often sleeping on job sites and very often traveling for work. It kinda makes me chuckle a bit when I hear people say that 'nobody can do 80 hours!' when I spent my entire formative years watching my dad and everyone he knew doing exactly that but doing much harder labor.

It really feels to me like people who say this stuff are either very young, or have had extremely limited exposure to the world outside of their bubble.
The water could have been liquid somewhere then, but it's still not the most probable time for life to emerge. The same author wrote in 2016:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1475-7516/2016/08...

"We find that unless habitability around low mass stars is suppressed, life is most likely to exist near ~ 0.1M⊙ stars ten trillion years from now. Spectroscopic searches for biosignatures in the atmospheres of transiting Earth-mass planets around low mass stars will determine whether present-day life is indeed premature or typical from a cosmic perspective."

Sounds like the exec needs less to be in those meetings and more to be aware of the agenda and high level action items from the meeting.

Or more likely to better clarify the expected outcomes with the localized manager or director and get the impactful/abbreviated action items every "Sprint".
This discussion interested me enough to do some casual Googling. The US military's statistics from 2011 say that only 15% of service members are actually involved in combat roles; slightly over 1 in 7. See figure 2 and figure 4 here:
https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Improving-the-DoD's-To.... And, of course, not every service member who is in a combat role gets PTSD or injuries.

If you have current tooth-to-tail estimates, they'd be interesting to see.
It's not just bread, though. It's subway.

I believe the veggie option is still yesterdays hummus crudely spread around a bun with bell peppers, black olives, an raw onions. The meats are cafeteria tier, in fact I think the meatball sub recipe is the exact slop served in my old dining hall.

They undermined their masterful subliminal marketing on the entire millennial generation by raising the $5 foot long sub to near chipotle bowl price points, and in my city at least cheap excellent street food is already on every corner.

I only ever settle for subway, it's not a destination.

Your kids are your kids. While you as a single person may not do much to improve working conditions across society, you can improve your kids' future by steering them towards less physically demanding jobs.

Especially people who do physical work themselves try to make sure their kids won't have to. E.g. my grandparents, who were simple village folks working in the fields, made sure to support their kids in getting educated. (Despite all its nastyness, one of the few good things about socialist Hungary was that this kind of upward mobility was possible and encouraged).
well, these robots will be operating in highly competitive markets offering 2-3 day shipping so Bangladeshi packers will not be in those labor markets.

With raising minimal wage in the US. We are likely looking at $10/hr in various markets. These robots run 24/7 so that is 1024365 = $87k saved per year. Even with depreciation counted in, it sounds pretty economical to me.

And my point is I'm not sure why that matters. A huge number of highschool graduates are unemployed, therefore does that mean we should start charging for basic education? Just start defunding it further because it has no value?

This linking of career to college education is exactly the problem I'm talking about. People should be free to study what they want, because educated citizens have more value than what they can contribute to the corporate bottom line. European countries understand this and it's time we follow suit. And some of the best software engineers I've known came from education such as the humanities or teaching.
