I hate this argument. It's such an excuse.

I have 5 friends in that bucket. And none of them had the "right connection".

Some are immigrants, some are minorities, some were dirt poor and came from nothing.

But all of them had some of the highest drive and grit and sometimes intelligence out of my friend group. These guys would have done well in absolutely any industry.

8 to 10pm x 7 days a week would be an absolutely pleasure. It's hard to convey how hours longer than that weigh on you with multiple back to back subsequent years of "service".

But finance isn't special. 27 year old top attorneys make 300k. And suffer similar pain.

Even in consulting like BCG comp is not as high but you get weekends off. But you're still elbow to elbow with ambitious people.

But heres the rub. I did the math once. My calculation showed there were 4,000 private equity professions in the US. Maybe that's changed. That's an absurdly small number. How many bariatric surgeons are there? Like when you compare these very small knifes edge type quantities, sure, you see excess.

So finance used to be 7% of GDP, up from 4%, so for a period you had the ratio of people to GDP skewed so smart people rushed to normalize it. And it normalized. Now you see the equilibrium hit. But that doesn't mean sometimes the equilibrium is high. There's no 28 year old making 500k in silicon valley? Or spending 20k decorating their office?

Like it's just a matter of perspective.

Sorry for the rant. But the connection thing drives me crazy. I'm sure the silicon valley guy has really hard to obtain skills and didnt network at a bar into his top engineering job.

Edit: didn't mean for this to be combative. I've long believed humans are sort of fungible. You take a partner at an accounting firm and throw him in a consulting firm (and somehow roll back time) that same person will sort of get to the same spot. I believe when you're 14 or 16 or 18 or 20 and you sort of pick what you want to do you are so impressionable that it ends up being partly passion and partially luck.
The claim of sceptics along these lines is that string theory has produced nothing in 50 years and some string theorists appear to be in denial of that.
As a marketer, I always look for no code solutions first. API integrations? Use Zapier. Email form integration? Sumo or similar. Triggers? Google tag manager. Etc. The reason being that the dev team at any company never has time for new projects.
It is a really good series, even if it is a bit like reading a sci-fi story whilst being beaten over the head with a physics textbook.
How long does it take to dig a hole to the mantle? Could we drop nuclear waste in such a hole?
You are unfortunately right about the reputation of SOHO routers and modems. The programming required to correct this issue is rather trivial, so hopefully patches should be easy to roll out.

The unfortunate thing, is how the code has propagated from Broadcom across many vendors to even more ISPs, and how getting in touch with every affected ISP is a bit of a mess. Hence our attempt at branding, as this has a better chance of getting non-technical focus, which seems to be the way to reach many ISPs these days.

Did you do anything special presentation/interface-wise?

My impression is that a good part of it for many is not making them realize that they are "programming" until they've already accepted that they can do it, because otherwise they "know" that it is too difficult.

"The last one" avoided the need to code back in 81 https://wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_One_(software) and no one has coded since.

But abstractions and declarative languages have their place. Consider relational algebra and SQL, and all the little declarative languages within other languages, like regular expressions, printf/scanf format strings, even char escape sequences.

But these require a lot of thought and talent to up with, and to design (e.g. codd didn't design SQL). Whereas TFA is talking about whole languages, and designed ad hoc.
I find cliqz is very good at natural language queries, but doesn't have the index size a lot of the time. You either end up with 10 results that are exactly what you were searching for or nothing.

Stateflow enables better communication with domain experts at automotive OEMs than any other formal or non formal specification language I know. So I'd count this as "plus No Code".
Depends where you are talking about M&A (company mergers, IPOs etc) is notorious for the long hours that they make associates work, mainly to knock up powerpoints and excel cashflow models.

Trading/Sales is normally 6.30am start to 5pm-ish in the evening, which possibly drinks/client entertaining some nights after that. You probably have to spend a few years as desk gopher - coffees, doing the trade reporting admin no-one else wants to do etc. I don't think trading or sales typically work weekends. I think some may trade out of hours as well, but I think (in large IBs in the UK) that they are in the minority.
I haven’t seen DSL at more than 2-3mbps down even around the biggest US cities. The only real high bandwidth download option is cable (coaxial), and the only high bandwidth download and upload is fiber.
> if using numpy, you're essentially running C code where speed matters.

Two notes:

1- If using numpy properly

2- Various numpy modules use FORTRAN 77, so it's not always C code.
This has nothing to do with markets and everything to do with ethics. It is not ethical for a company to knowingly risk lives to rush out a new product. In the airline industry, it is unheard of for this to happen. Everything is triple redundant for a reason. Typically you would cut corners elsewhere that is not a risk for human lives. Boeing already tried that by outsourcing the construction of the 787 and it was riddled with failure. They should have learned their lesson there.
We have the same product that runs against 4 different DB's with 99% SQL being identical. Sure you sometimes need to hunt on whether a standard SQL feature is supported, but they mostly are. And even if the query dialect for the feature is a bit different, the DB access code remains the same.
I've been studying oil painting under a local professional artist. One of the topics that really interests me is composition. Artists go to great lengths to design the placement, colors, texture, etc of objects in a painting to purposely lead the eye. When I look at the Great Wave, I find my eyes start at the top of the breaking wave, then move along the curve of the wave, to the boat, then toward the right. It's actually kind of a Golden Spiral, which is used often in paintings.
A gogle helped me here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/top-10-ceos-in-prison-whyd-they...

Given that Boeing and GM are/were some of the most powerful in the US stands to reason that most companies will fall under the "less powerful" characterization. But I think my point was clear already: the more powerful the company, the more clout they have when it comes to keeping their CEOs out of prison. whether or not this is doable for smaller players is irrelevant when talking about a heavyweight like Boeing.

From that article..."According to the Texas Tribune, "a successful football team can prop up an entire athletic department." However, more often than not, college athletics programs are not fully self-supporting, even with football money."

Football money gets spent to prop up other sports in college, typically, and that's where the confusion may be here. I'm sure there are some schools charging some minor fees to students for one athletic program or another, but its not like tuition is going towards football, by and large. At my alma mater, the football program pays into the university (UF).

Ah, but that's not quite the same. A message encoded in number theory itself is a far more difficult to author than just adjusting the position of 10^23 atoms.
Thanks for that! (I'm Herbert, made the tutorial; took a weekend away from the computer and it hit HN - nice surprise!). I definitely need to go back and fix a lot of my early Rust (it gets better) and some explanations like that. I welcome bug reports and PRs on the GitHub ( https://github.com/thebracket/rustrogueliketutorial ) if you find more.
I can greatly recommended mozilla's rr for hunting concurrency bugs, as it allows efficient replay and provides a scheduler that is designed to increase the probability of triggering concurrency bugs.

The issue with x86 is simple: the memory model pretty much requires loads of broadcasts on the SMP interconnect. IIRC Power9 is nice due to (1) a memory model that doesn't require this (much) broadcasting on the interconnect, and (2) remote atomics like "fetch current 64bit value pointed to by register1 and atomically add register2 after", which prevent the cacheline from bouncing between cores or even sockets (Power9 scales to about 5~10kW TDP @8~20W TDP/core and 4 threads/core (there are versions that combine core pairs to have 8 threads using the resources of (almost) 2 cores (overhead / diminishing returns))).

I can't really recommend OpenMP. If the architectural restrictions aren't a problem, you might want to check out Intel's TBB, which uses C++ templates instead of compiler pragmas. Unfortunately you'd ideally need multithreading-aware polyhedral optimization, and _that_ mostly stalled AFAIK.

You'd likely write C++ or now maybe Rust with low-level primitives / intrinsics to build libraries. I don't know of any actually good "automatic" frameworks for general shared-memory parallel programming (There's Chapel, but it seems fairly niche. Still going strong though, by the looks of it.). If you can efficiently express the problem with loop-dataflow, you might want to try timely-dataflow (Rust, does thread/process/node parallelism), as it nicely integrates with normal Rust code.

At a $5+/mo fee for items that normally sell for $60 it seems like profit seeking behavior.

Comcast at least now made equipment returns easier though ups franchises, historically, it could take hours at an under staffed, low budget facility to return a item. And if you didn't you'd often expect to argue with collections.
At my bank, and we had a particularly bad group but it was successful (and this is mid level not a top tier), 2 kids out of 30 finished the two year "program". No one ever tells you the employment contract is for 2 years out of undergrad, and maybe you get "invited" for a third year, and maybe you get "promoted" from analyst to associate to compete with all the post MBAs who want to beat you out.

And honestly the wash out was a mix of things: quit, got fired, suffered too much took a random job, suffered too much held out and got an amazing job....etc.

I believe the ratio is better at other banks and also better in current times.

I had drinks with my old boss a few months ago and I warned him he would kill a kid one of these days. His answer was "oh culture is fixed, we give one Saturday off a month now. Morale is much better".

Granted this is a tiny skewed example. But your message is spot on.

The problem with the Brunner test is that it is very rarely applied, and applied inconsistently. The test itself is incredibly vague in specifics and is pretty much at the discretion of the judges, who generally always rule on the side of the government, which makes sense, the government pays their salary.

I have one friend who is permanently disabled and spent 4 years trying to get his student loans forgiven. He gave up and fled the USA.

The courts have fought tooth and nail in the interest of their corporate overlords to prevent the Brunner test being invoked.

If more judges do the right thing and allow the Brunner test to actually be applied, it will have a significant impact.

The ocean is big. At the moment, the ocean cleanup is still small. I'd suggest investigating the impact, rather than claiming there is impact without evidence. If it turns out the cure (cleanup) is worse than the disease (plastic), then it makes sense to stop the ocean cleanup. Until then, let's continue and see what this will accomplish.

The quote that sticks with me is "New Blocks means new builders".

I'm pretty sure this new 'movement' will gain a lot of steam. Probally mostly because of the 'no developer'-dreams.

But the most value I find, is when working with very structured people - who understand data AND LOGIC - but doesn't know how to code. They do not have to write a spec, but can instead make a working prototype pretty quickly.

I actually think the biggest change from earlier on, is that the 'No-Code' doesn't seems to be a dead-end. As it has been earlier.

If you grow out of the No-Code tools, it possible to replace parts of the No-Code expirience using microservices and serverless.

Why stop at computers? Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, and every other power tool uses its own proprietary battery connector.

Why stop at DC power? Last I checked, Germany, France, England, Italy, and many of the smaller countries all had their own AC power connectors.

Why stop at hardware? iMessage, Hangouts, Messenger, Slack, and all the rest use their own proprietary interfaces. I still can't even save "a spreadsheet" in one program and reliably open it in another.

I can put any bit in any drill, and any blade in any saw, but as soon as electricity gets involved, everything gets stupid. A lot of programmers say they're interested in "visualization", but visualization was the default state of the world before electrons got involved. Most programmers use the invisible nature of software to disguise the proprietary and incompatible interfaces they're creating.

I hear a lot of developers complain about how their Mac laptop is no longer expandable or upgradeable, and then they turn around and use it to write a web app which uses a custom client-server interface with no public API or import/export. An industry is only anti-consumer when I'm the consumer.

Important note: the person you're responding to is talking about the buy side. It's not uncommon to find a work life balance resembling tech in the buy side. For example, it's a popular meme that Citadel has a horrible work life balance. But I know two devs there who earn in excess of $500k each year and only work about 45 - 50 hour weeks.

I also know another new grad recently hired at Hudson River Trading, and another new grad recently hired at Jump Trading. Both are earning over $400k per year, but they work 45 hour weeks. And since RenTech has been mentioned in this thread: the people I know there have wonderful work life balance.

I have found that most popular conceptions of bad work life balance in finance apply to banking and sell side, not to the buy side. Working as a developer at a bank usually sucks, both financially and culturally, in my experience. Not always, but commonly. Working at a hedge fund can be very nice both financially and culturally.
I see your point, but the vast majority of people who own a modem, have no idea that a private key does not refer to the one under their doormat.

Las Vegas is also a prime location - legally in Nevada (gambling), yet close enough to the West Coast (lots of people). It doesn't have to be a natural advantage - this is what the Mississippi boat casinos were doing since forever, just several orders of magnitude larger ;)
Everytime I see someone mentioning no nations, fictitious as it is, it reminds me of https://acecombat.fandom.com/wiki/A_World_With_No_Boundaries which was branded as a terrorist group in the game. Don't think national boundaries will ever be erased without economic incentive and hardship in the process. How would you refer to each land?

As far as I can see there is always going to be boundaries be it cultural, tribal or artificial. Tendency is just there. Look at SF for instance where there was one neighborhood that rebranded itself (The East cut).
We, as in humanity, I'd assume. Of course that means we need laws in every country, or a binding international agreement or something. In any case, "we", as in "everybody", need to quit using non-degradable plastic wrappers and bags.
