I like the CLI too, and would still need it if I "left" the Terminal.

> If you frequently make defensible decisions and they keep not panning out, your CEO will fire you.

That could be a case for startups but it is certainly not the case for established companies.

The job of a CTO of an established company is not piloting a formula 1 car. Rather, it is to prevent reckless technical decisions from taking an ocean liner and smashing it into an iceberg.
These companies are also ludicrously selective. I think to think I'm a pretty good engineer and I have built up a lot of management experience to boot and I can barely get the time of day from any of them.

I can think of better places to start, but that's not the point, is it?

The point is that you should be aware of individual biases, and should diversify your media consumption.
I think what you mean is: the best programmers I know add value to the company.

As a freelance programmer I had to learn this. Companies don't give anything about the language, the VCS, the LOC, spaces or tabs, or anything unrelated to them.

You just add value to the company by creating great software they can use. This also means software that can be maintained and updated.

Some people in this thread complain about the "They don’t complain about business constraints". But when you start complaining about their business constraints, how can you add value to their business? You can only add value when you think about how you can create something that works best for them to keep those constraints. And ofcourse this includes discussing constraints when you are sure you have a great idea to make them better, but most of the time other people thought better and harder about those constraints than you did.

Edit: maybe it is unclear what you mean by "business constraints". In my mind you are talking about the company business, but others might thing about programming business logic.

We had a front lawn, a back lawn, and a dog. The back lawn may as well have been a concrete slab for playing purposes due to the statistical likelihood of dog. The front lawn was exposed to all the neighbors and thus similarly unusable for a social anxiety kid. Would have given up that lawn in a heartbeat for wilderness, which I spent years hiking and exploring.

It's a good question - and the simple answer is -

Usability and interaction design is most certainly part of UX. However, the skills needed to be a competent visual designer match (in terms of difficulty, time to execute, etc) that of being a UX designer. Simply put, in order to go deep enough on either craft, you need to dedicate to one side or another.

There are many dual 'UX/UI' roles out there, but they tend to be weighted toward the UI side, maybe with some user testing tacked on the end or some journey work.

Sole UX roles are much deeper in their reach within an organisation and consist of much, much more than just wireframing and making visual deliverables.
I think you underestimate the situation haha. Your perception of attractiveness is based on who’s around you. If the average around you is by New York standards a 5, then a 6 is above-average attractive. And a 7 is a solid catch.

Women in the Bay Area can easily score a few points higher than in more competitive cities and the opposite is true for men.
It gets a lot easier to understand when you realize that most women are looking for a life partner while most men are looking for a sex partner. You are more careful with life partners, so there will always be a surplus of men available for dating looking for sex, and most of them will fake looking for a life partner just to get more opportunities since there are so few women who are into the same things.

This means that for you as a woman dating is first and foremost about separating life partners from sex partners. Your advice goes in that direction. But it is totally worthless for men, most women they meet will be looking for a life partner so they are not hard to find. Instead men face the problem that most women are very reluctant to date them, so men mostly need advice how to get more dates.

Having greenhouses, vegetable garden, perennial food, and a lawn - the lawn is what requires the least amount of work for me, and I don't even have a robotic lawn mower.

For perennial crops, you still need to do more work. Manure (and you have to source it too), mulch and pruning is a bare minimum. If you care about the harvest, you have to continuously keep an eye on it and treat various problems. For apples in particular it's imperative to remove monilia infected fruit continuously, and especially after harvest. You also have to prune the crop to ensure a larger harvest.

A garden is as much or as little work as you make it, but a lawn is probably the lowest bar of minimum work if you get enough rain to water it. It didn't become popular because it's more useful that everything else, but because you really don't have to do much work to keep it.

Given that this thread is the only instance of the phrase "Unseen Risk Fallacy", I'm not too sure that it will work as well as you'd hope. Fallacies are subtle and even in the best of cases only point out holes in someone's argumentation, which doesn't tell you much about the conclusion.

If anything automatic labelling of fallacies just risks running foul of the fallacy fallacy.

Beware the Gift Card Scam
It's clear that the internet is now a "low trust society". Unfortunately this is now leaking like a superfund side into the wider society in which it is embedded. High-trust societies are much more efficient because much less effort has to be wasted on security. But they also present an opportunity to "defect" by defrauding people, and can only remain high-trust so long as the ability to punish frauds can keep up.

This is bad for internet freedom as people demand greater ability to make reprisals against the frauds. I sometimes think that what people miss about the "old internet" was it being a high-trust society because almost everyone allowed on it was through an institutional connection where they had to be on their best behavior. We can see landmarks like the Morris Worm, and the posting of goatse and GNAA on Slashdot forcing them into more active moderation.

Let's go in another direction here, away from a lot of the hype and cargo cult. I will suggest IntercoolerJS [1] and TurboLinks [2]. These are simple javascript libraries that let you do much of the slick in-dom updates without all the hassle of build pipelines, JSX, or functional paradigms.

I have deployed this in production for clinical trials applications as well as into side projects. Using this with Django means I have a lean, mean, and simple stack without a complicated build or deployment process.

Yes for your individual contributions. For the good companies, they will match 50% putting you up to 29,250. If they are good, they will also allow you to do the mega backdoor roth [0] which allows you to contribute the remainder of the max 57,000 (so 27,750) in after tax dollars and immediately move it into a roth account where it grows tax free.

"I'm speaking specifically about the age."

Yes. You specifically said that a 60 year old building is not old enough to inspire awe. And I rightfully replied that that is nonsense. My statement was obviously not obvious to you.
I love reading about high energy physics and this isn't the first account from a high energy theorist which excludes weariness at the lack of progress over the last decades. We can hope that someone has a breakthrough that unlocks a new era of high energy physics. Maybe the neutrino masses hold the key or new symmetries will be found. Maybe a small alteration will make an old idea viable. So many promising ideas have been shot down: Grand Unified Theories looked for proton decays, axions looked for light spontaneously going through solid walls and supersymmetry searched for new particles. Nothing was found.

As an ex-physicist with a more experimental background in condensed matters, the real discussions and theories are way beyond me though. Just look at this paragraph from the article:

"Assume we consider two-dimensional Schwinger model with one massless Dirac fermion of charge 2 [18]. More exactly, in addition to the dynamicalcharge-2 fermion, there is a heavy probe charge-1 fermion whose mass can be viewed as tending to infinity. Next, assume that in this model we compactify the spatial dimension on a circle of circumference L, i.e. impose either periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions on the fermion fields. Then one can show that this model has two discrete Z2 symmetries – one 0-form and another 1-form. These two global Z2 symmetries have generators which do not commute with each other [18]. Thus, only one of these symmetries can be implemented,the other one must be spontaneously broken. Hence, the ground state is doubly degenerate. In other words, we observe in this example (see Appendix on page 15 and also [17]) the power of the mixed anomalies – the prediction of the projective action of the symmetries and the ground state degeneracy. This is a strong result at strong coupling. Sorry for the pun... After [12, 13, 14] a large number of non-trivial applications has been worked out.Many relevant references can be found in [18, 19]."

My hope is that there will be a revolution in accelerator technology. The LHC is a triumph of collaborative engineering but maybe the next accelerator will be based upon different principles such as wakefield acceleration or miniaturized accelerators. Or we could find different ways of testing high energy physics, more subtle than smashing two particles together!

I think this is a very valid point. There are times when Python is not the absolute best choice for a given problem, but in most cases it can allow you to achieve the desired goal in a way that is easy for newcomers to the particular codebase to grok very quickly.

There are times when it may be better to use another language and there is nothing wrong with that. I default to Python and if I think there will be specific issues with it, then I can look at a more specialized language.

> I don't know anyone who calls take-home (net) pay gross salary in Europe. I have lived and worked in multiple countries.

That is not what I am saying...

There are basically 3 stages of income in Europe: employer gross -> employee gross -> employee net.

Most Europeans refer to employee gross as simply “gross”. There are still the employee contribution part to be deducted before the net, but the whole employer contribution has completely been removed already.

Payslips as well as employment contracts usually display the employee gross. That is why the real total compensation including the employer contribution is rarely displayed anywhere in Europe and people forget about it, thus creating the incompréhension of this whole comment thread, where people compare incomparable incomes.
Might have to do with the grass type? One thing that shocked me when I went to Florida was how coarse (larger strands and way stiffer) the grass was compared to where I live (Canada). I eventually learned it's simply a different type to deal with climate differences. I'm admittedly not very knowledgeable with everything plant, but it wouldn't sound odd to me if I learned that it could also mean different care. Up here it's mostly weeding, adding soil where needed and reseeding every spring, mowing it every couple of weeks, and watering once in a while. Maybe 2-3 rounds of chemicals a year if you want that healthy deep green lawn look.
I believe that Western Washington is indeed experiencing less rainfall lately.
How can it be optional if there is lots of code that assumes you are using GC? For example, as far as I can tell the stdlib doesn't do its own allocations. Does this mean you can't use the stdlib with GC disabled? Or am I missing something here?

It was not issue of ambiguity. Specification was clear. It was issue of programmer assuming that customer is wrong all the time and basically wanting the customer wrong. The statuses were right, but the programmer fought to merge few of them into one, because it looked "simpler" to him.

By questioning in don't mean having honest questions nor trying to understand, but being convinced that there must be mistake and forcing customer to defend every tiny choice.

And sometimes the customer wants radiobox instead of combobox are just wants to have it without having to spend 20min on meting to defend the choice.
Florida is one of the places I look for when it comes to this. According to the NOAA [1] they have not really been able to detect an increase in hurricanes (the natural disaster that semi-regularly hits Florida) due to climate change. Yet, there has been growth in GDP and population. So, the increase cost in Florida is, at least in part, due to the increase in what people have.

If we have more and more expensive things (especially nice buildings) it's going to cost more even when the weather stays relatively the same.

Disclaimer, I'm not making a statement on climate change. I use FL as an example to highlight a different point. In the reference you'll see there is talk of places where observations of change have occurred.

I've been reading Bloomberg news since it was on my terminal. I never noticed this.

There has always a steady chatter of red flags and growth sectors. That's its job. During the recession, it was about the recession. After the recession, it was about threats to "green shoots." At each business-cycle record, it was about what could tank the economy next.

(I've actually thought that Bloomberg's coverage has been bullish over the past year. While the FT was calling out a looming recession, Bloomberg focussed on American equities outperforming.)
Seeing as the cause of these disasters is economic in nature I fail to see how this is misleading.
I think your niche skillset is probably the main reason, I doubt many FAANG people at an engineer level in the UK (especially outside London) make anywhere close to that.

I've been getting offers on that range in London for a few years now but they're senior management roles and I have a pretty unique skillset, FAANG recruiters haven't even bothered contacting me for like 10 years (they were chasing much harder when I was a junior engineer)

Better–-Yet More Atomized–-Than Ever
Let me try to reformulate OP's comment. In many European countries, there are three deduction levels: (1) the net salary, after all taxes and health and social care deductions, (2) the gross salary, after all mandatory employer contributions to the health and social care systems (3) the total cost of an employee to the employer (the English equivalent of the term used in Czechia would be "super-gross" salary). OP's point was that first, in the EU, there is often a big difference between (2) and (3), whereas they are very close or equal in the US, and second, gross salary usually refers to (2) in the EU and to (3) in the US.

That said, I don't think that the difference between (2) and (3) is as big as suggested by the OP even in the EU, at least in the countries that I'm familiar with.

It's my understanding that the reason "Windows 9" was skipped was technical, not marketing.

I read (I think on HN) that lazy programmers would test whether the environment was Windows 95 through 98 by only checking for "Win9" or something similar, rather than a list of strings. Thus, if Microsoft released an actual "Win9," many programs would think they were running on Windows 95.
