Burnout was experienced by many professions, ie caretakers for wounded during world wars. They did care about their work deeply. Same for these days doctors, they choose the work because they are idealists, they still care about their work but grueling hours, little rest etc still make it happen.

I've never understood how somebody can get burnout in usual for-profit corporation. No feedback loop of 'ok-enough-work-lets-rest-or-have-fun'. But its true many people are desperately lonely or struggle in their personal lives, and structured corporate one might seem tempting.

Using a debugger means that, when my inspection shows nothing wrong with one value, I can immediately check out if other values are wrong.

Whereas with a print statement, I need to change code and then shutdown and rerun the program. The feedback loop of a debugger is just a lot shorter.

Rust copied tooling from Go and Python. Also its tooling cannot work without internet and need to download MB's of data for simple development, and on the other hand proclaims itself to be systems programming language to replace C and C++ which doesn't require active internet to work.

Also C++17 is much better version taking away the deficiencies of earlier versions and if not better at least provide similar run-time guarantee and safety as Rust (which also needs to rely on unsafe code to do anything meaningful with systems programming).

So if you use either modern incarnation of C++ or Rust, you will get same safety guarantees. Just with C++ you will not have to climb the mountain of learning just to do simple things.

I think Rust gets a lot of hype because it's syntax is complex and learning curve is much higher than C or C++ and programmers see new shiny language which got some traction as Panacea for all the programming problems.

No, animals in the wild are not under constant stress, because that would completely nullify the effect of stress in the first place. Stress is a bodies' response to an 'unusual' situation, in which you have to act in an 'unusual' way. But the baseline that defines 'usual' and 'unusual' is the environment in which the animal evolved over thousands of years. In this environment their stress response is natural, e.g. spikes in case of danger or exceptional threat, otherwise normal.

If you now bring those in a completely new environment (factory farming), their stress levels go wild.

Rapid Fast Keto Boost

Who doesn't have to seem wonderful! Off base, everyone has this longing, and everybody needs to look appealing. Shockingly, a few people don't have an opportunity to spend on themselves, and they can't take great consideration of themselves appropriately. Subsequently, they lose their prosperity and allure with the progression of time. Have you seen VIPs! How solid they are! It isn't on the grounds that they are normally honored with Beauty, however it's primarily because of the explanation that they keep themselves. They deal with their skin and body, and they keep themselves sound. You should watch your appearance matters a great deal in your prosperity. On the off chance that you need to prevail in your every day life, at that point you should concentrate on prepping yourself, and you additionally need to keep yourself physically solid. In the event that you have put on weight, and you wish to lose it, at that point you should take the starting right from now. Roll out a couple of improvements in your daily schedule, and besides, you may utilize any powerful weight reduction recipe. We will examine an item that will truly assist with diminishing your weight. The item is named as Rapid Fast Keto Boost. Let us investigate the subtleties of the accommodating thing.

> Boeing and the airlines should have provided more simulators if their new model is so different that it needs a dedicated simulator

I highly recommend reading this article:

https://onemileatatime.com/boeing-737-max-lion-air-simulator...

The first crash was with Lion Air. Boeing mocked them for wanting simulators. After the crash, Boeing claimed pilots of Lion Air were at fault. This while saying no simulator training was needed.
A lot of companies are actively factoring this into their HR model.

Their model is to hire fresh people and burn them out.

Increasingly this is the direction western corporations are moving. Their ideal model is: place performance quotas above long term sustainability, people then burn themselves out, you then fire them for performance reasons, and you have them on an aggressive noncompete and threaten them with it when they try to work elsewhere after. Totally consume them. Basically institutionalised "f--k you", gleefully chewing up other human beings.

In some ways we're moving to something worse than slavery. At least with slaves they were seen as "assets" rather than "temporary rentals". They had to take care of them out of necessity, so their evil had that limit on it.

> Smelling bad, shouting nonsense, and talking to strangers in public are not crimes.

But you could certainly make rules about doing the first two on a bus.
What you describe is certainly how people used to work with PHP two decades ago, however things have changed a lot:

> Want to use a relational database? You don't need to install a library

These are optional packages in most distros, so you (or your admin) effectively need to install a library.

> Want to get things out of the HTTP request? PHP has already parsed everything into the `$_REQUEST` associative-array (map/dictionary).

And yet we have PSR-7 (https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) which define HTTP messages and most frameworks comply with it.

> Most of the time if you want a library, you can download a directory of files and then use `require` or `include` to bring it in using relative paths. No worrying about environments or installing things. Just copy a folder!

There are gazillions of libraries at packagist.org, meaning these are installable via composer. Many of these expect composer to resolve dependencies. Major frameworks can't practically be installed without composer.

> PHP let me get something for $5/mo and just stick files on a server that someone else admin'd that would just work.

There are cheap cloud solutions for most languages...

> PHP also offers a dead-simple deployment. You put your files on a server with PHP installed and you're done.

... with push-to-deploy.

> Heck, PHP even simplifies templating because PHP is literally its own templating language.

And yet we had alternate templating engines for PHP since forever (remember Smarty ? know Twig now ?). Stuffing templates with "htmlspecialchars" or "htmlentities" is no fun.

> if you're looking to take a student with one CS course under their belt and give them some instant joy, PHP really hits the mark.

As stated, Javascript is better at this.

I could go on, but my point is that you're describing qualities that were competitive advantages in the past (somewhere between 1 and 2 decades ago), but are no more.

Since the planes become more software dependent, the pilots should be trained on procedures to recognize/evaluate/react to software problems/glitches as well. The problems with the B-MAX were actually related to bad software (MCAS).

The FBI proposed that Apple could write a new operating system variant that would let the FBI robot-brute-force the password, for certain older models at the time (without a Secure Enclave).

> I can't say that of C# or java, you probably need a PhD just to be able to use 1/3 of c#/java tooling and IDE features.

That is absolutely incorrect. The whole point of having tooling at your disposal is to make the process of writing and reading code dead simple.

Ypu don't need a PhD to pause the debugger, edit some code, hit continue, and have the new code executing. You don't need a PhD to select some text, click Extract Method (or press the shortcut), type in the method name, and have the new method/function on the screen.

By the way, C has excellent tooling on all of these sides as well - C IDEs and debuggers are extremely powerful, unlike Go.

A set with some future collecting potential maybe, but not the kind of structure Lego bricks are good for. The scale is too miniscule and the build lacks any substantial level of detail, and it's also a very repetitive structure.
> You'll spend all your time managing these, and relatively little time actually being productive.

I see this a lot, and I'm always somewhat surprised by it. It took a couple of days to put together our kops-based cluster on EC2, wire it in to Gitlab CI and get the various load balancers, ingresses et al plumbed in, and then perhaps an hour a week maintaining it from there?

I do agree it's not the right place to start, but I think the standard operational complexity of k8s is frequently overstated. The argument I do buy against k8s is that when it goes wrong, debugging can be a nightmare.
Yeah, but they also have a hundred years of depending on handouts to not keep going out of business so we don't really know that they know how to build a product that works long enough to keep them in business.
If they can afford to give you a discount coupon, then the 'discount' is already built into the product. Non-compliant customers pay more as a result.

Fully agree. 20-50ms for something like S3 is fantastic and proof that we live in the future. S3 is only slow when compared to interacting with redis or a FS layer powered by node (by about an order of magnitude). That's why I feel that complementing it with a self-managed FS can work well in certain settings. And interestingly enough, because S3 is so solid, you don't have to be so paranoid with your own FS layer, since S3 is there to bail you out in case of data loss.

Regarding S3 pricing, ~0.09 USD per downloaded GB could potentially become a significant bill (~90 USD per TB). I'm building a service that serves pictures and limiting the financial downside is very important for the economics of the business. More than the actual magnitude, the certainty that costs are a linear and predictable function of storage makes me sleep better.

An implicit point that I just realized by re-reading your comment: if you have a significant amount of data (let's say, > 100GB) a local FS is only cheaper if you're using instances or dedicated servers with large disks - and probably this is prohibitively expensive in AWS (EBS). I'm particularly considering Hetzner dedicated servers with large disks.
Fair question, I suppose.

I'm in SRE, so I work closely with developers and programmers who build business logic, in fact I am surrounded by pretty much exclusively that except for a small supplement of testers and technical managers.

So, I have some exposure.

That and the very plain fact that the mindsets that you would use to delineate between "senior" and "mid" bands are just traits that could be apparent in varying degrees between people of any level.

I've had mid-level developers identifying business needs on a macro level with a well broken down bite-sized methods of achieving what they set out to.

I've had senior developers "informing" me about operating system semantics which were just not true.

You can be senior in some areas and mid-level/junior in others. This is true across the whole spectrum.

The images of the "Origin" are renders. Not all vehicles. They have plenty of data and footage from their actual self-driving cars.
What even bothers me more is that those keyboards that do not have a numpad section, cram all the 'insert', 'home', ..., and arrow keys in strange places below and under the normal keys or, even worse, hide them under a function key.
I understand duck typing of interfaces to types imposes some limitations, but it is by no means an absolute limitation. Given a set of Go source files, you can absolutely automatically find all types in those source files which match an interface. Sure, there could be implementations in other places as well, but the same is true for Java or C# or C++.

Also, note that the compiler already does this check whenever you try to use some type as a specific interface type, this is not dynamic binding at runtime.
Can't agree here. Go is going for simplicity of the language but definitely not for simplicity of tooling. If anything, I would say golang tooling is more complicated then c#, with all that myriad of small tools. Debugging story is just objectively better in c# and it's pretty easy to use.
The Uber-like "pick me up where I am" is a pre-fit incentive that will be dropped later.

I take buses regularly. Uber too. Taxis too.

All in all, the de-humanizing/automation part that's getting traction from capital. It's not a strictly human/modern need that's being met, it's an addictive service (faster, exclusive) that's being sold and cost-optimized.

You can be certain that the day Uber-automated-cars are the norm for transit, for cost/efficiency reasons, you will be kindly asked to join a specific pick-up point; and off-loaded at a specific location as well.

Those locations will be computed & decided by the provider, not you (you know, bus).
Unless you pay another premium (taxis).

There has been critics in Asia on that the ex-Director General (2006-2017) of WHO, Margaret Chan, who was sponsored by China for the position, had been building up influence in the organization for China during her term so WHO would work in China's favour. Its effect is showing this time in how WHO handled this incident. Instead of taking a lead and look into the whether China had handled the pandemic properly upon its onset, WHO just parrot China's official stance, in fear of offending China.

WeWork and the Scam Economy
I recall that my local Edeka, before Edeka got so big, gave a lot of room to the local managers, who were ex-rocker types who were really good at employing local young dudes who probably weren't all that employable elsewhere (and who did a fine job as it turned out).

Enough that I kind of assumed it was a franchise rather than just a chain, until they started buying up all the Kaisers.

So maybe that's part of their strategy, to give the managers more responsibility to differentiate their stores instead of making them all the same?

If so I wonder how they incentivize that.
Like, reading a book. Or listening to a podcast. Wait, I can do that on a bus too.

Everything else as an autoreload of some sort, so you don't have to think about it while developing.
GoLand solves many problems though, for example they have conditional breakpoints and function execution in debugger (though not that powerful). And code refactoring/navigation is also pretty good.

> [nginx's] main use is to provide HTTPS support

I've been using nginx purely for HTTPS stuff because I have been too lazy to learn how to do it with node. When working on little no-user-info sites that don't need SSL, I have cloudflare in front with no encryption to the origin (just an A record pointing at the IP of the server), and then just have a simple express app which proxies the requests on port 80 to apps on 3000, 3001, 3002, etc. based on the host header - makes me so happy compared to playing around with nginx config files.
