I know at the moment there is some controversy with the spacex satellites blocking astronomy viewing and I really hope there is a fix soon.

But I would really like to see the day when governments aren't the only ones who build telescopes like the Hubble or James webb.

That instead amateur enthusiasts crowdfund and build custom telescopes, launched on sub $250k rocket launches which then can allocate hours of control at a time at cost or at least give the telemetry for free. Imagine 25, 50, or 100 telescopes in space all looking out and mapping the night sky at ever increasing rates.

Couple this with advanced ML techniques for anyone to go over the data. I'm sure a golden age for star gazing would just be beginning.

Even things like sticks of memory and case fans have little controllers now to do some kind of programmable RGB lighting; everything is getting filled with relatively small amounts of computing power for no good reason, and it seems to be an accelerating trend.

Hello, I've been in your position many years ago, so my 2 cents of hard earned experience.

If your project pipeline has a non-coding architect, they better be your subordinate. If they are not, be prepared to push back on their design decisions. Ideally they should have a stake in the project delivery.

When some estimate, deadline or feature complexity feels off to you, listen to your inner voice and stand your ground. No matter what others, with more seniority/authority/clout in the company think.

Take care of your team. Get rid of slackers, but don't overwork the others.

Accept responsibility for the failures, and share success with the team. "I failed", "we succeeded".

Learn something new.

Do things you're bad at.

Stick with it.

I've found that learning new things, being accepting and open about how little I know, helps me turn down the ego a bit, and be more compassionate about others being bad at things I'm good at. And to define myself less by my abilities.

Naturally, we tend to talk about whatever we happen to be paying attention to or thinking about. So excessive talking about oneself is a symptom of excessive thinking about oneself. Why would someone do that? I think that it’s a logical consequence of having “getting people to like you” as your highest value. If that’s the case it’s only natural to model other people’s view of you in your own mind and try to make it as pleasing as possible. I think that if you made a few important decisions that indicate to yourself that you have some other guiding purpose in your life (it could be as simple as openly disagreeing with someone about an issue you care about, or devoting your attention to a project that interests you in and of itself). Paradoxically, I think that MORE selfishness might be the answer (just like how attending to your heart rate can sometimes serve to slow it down).
Interesting that the DHS response to all 3 points is that they concur, but for all 3 points the resolution the Department points to is a document called the #Protect2020 Strategic Plan, which will supposedly be released on Feb 14th.

I don't mean to sound flippant, because I'm being entirely serious here.

It's interesting that you talk about only seeing things from your own perspective and in the same breath lament the fact that you can't find a book written specifically for your perspective.

Perhaps read some of those books about what it's like to experience interactions with a narcissist from another's perspective, and see if you can identify behaviors or patterns that you exhibit. Then, once you've become more aware, work on those behaviors.

The label of "narcissist" as something that you are sounds like a copout, when in reality it's quite possible that you simply have a set of bad habits that you willfully engage in. It's not necessarily what you are but something that you do.
assume you are mostly wrong and ignorant. Treat every conversation as an opportunity to remedy it.
Not really, insurance must exist because healthcare expenses aree simply too unpredictable. And anyway places with single-payer healthcare spend much less than the US even though they are effectively a state-run insurance. Heck, the same applies to Medicare.
Exactly. The whole point of null safety is so that null becomes an explicit decision, rather than an implicit/accidental decision. If the requirements change, so should the code (aka you have to refactor the previously nullsafe code to now become nullable).

I agree that seeing a therapist for 5 years may indicate they're not actually helping you progress.

I could offer a different data point, but since it's all subjective experience anyway, just make your own call. I've enjoyed long-term therapy because I found more things I wanted to work on. Ironically, it is my therapist who reviews things on a regular schedule and asks, "why are you coming to therapy now?"

(If your therapist isn't doing that, maybe that's a red flag that you are being taken advantage of?)
I hope these planes get scrapped and never see flight again. Tear them down and recycle the parts, and build something that's modern from the group up instead of recycled, deprecated bullshit.

A lot of what "motivation" is comes from being able and healthy, and a lot of that certainly comes from genetics, I'd say.

Hmmm. I thought ArraySlice had different semantics. Why wouldn’t it be declared returning [Element]?

extension Array {
func take(_ n: Int) -> [Element] {
self[0..<n]
}
}

Apple provides this warning for ArraySlice:

“Long-term storage of ArraySlice instances is discouraged. A slice holds a reference to the entire storage of a larger array, not just to the portion it presents, even after the original array’s lifetime ends. Long-term storage of a slice may therefore prolong the lifetime of elements that are no longer otherwise accessible, which can appear to be memory and object leakage.”

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/arrayslice

Would it be acceptable to put these implementations in a Functional library?
While I definitely buy the nurture side of that argument more than the nature side, it's still possible to be selecting for a set of genetic traits across a diverse group as long as those traits are distributed pretty evenly.
Simplest explanation is it's part of a ploy to minimize tax pay-out.
Having been exactly where you are now, I completely accept your apology. I'll say this though, don't write off online debate completely. Yes, it can devolve sometimes but I've genuinely had some great online conversations with people that had totally different worldviews than myself. For me, it took learning to recognize and turn off my own emotional biases (which I still screw up and make an idiot of myself occasionally) that caused me to say things that I really regretted later (some of which I'm sure still exist on comment boards elsewhere). Best of luck in life and don't beat yourself up too much, we're all just humans trying to do our best.

I think it would be a mistake to attribute all of those price changes to deregulation. Lot's of things have happened since then, including improvements in efficiency and technology, insane competition driving profit margins nearly to zero, removing lots of frills and comforts, increased automation (not in the plane as much as everywhere else in the process and org.) If you look at other regulatory environments you'll see similar price drops. I'm sure it was a factor to some extent though - but lower prices is not a good argument for playing fast and loose with human lives.
This one comes from personal experience.

If a team member comes to you and says that they feel disrespected, discouraged, ignored, or even _bullied_ by a more senior team member, take that seriously. Immediately schedule a 1-on-1-on-1 and don't give anybody any time to prepare. Create a safe space for people to voice their concerns, and express to _everyone_ that if they are not capable of treating others with respect, they can be made redundant.

I'm going through this right now and it sucks. I wish my team lead had my back, but they don't.

The reboot option is definitively not the right choice for all use cases but could be an option, depending on your constraints. At least it is still better then just not handling the expiration at all.

Very true. Especially in embedded programming where custom code can yield massive perf gains.
There is a corollary to this as well, where people say they are starting a business, where actually they are trying to start a hobby.

A business exists to make money, and usually is not particularly enjoyable (with some exceptions of course).

Whenever someone tells me about their business idea I internally rank it on a hobby<->business scale, although I usually try to hold my judgements to myself.

Coming from someone who hates conspiracy
theories, I think this one isn't too far fetched.

Yeah, I agree.

Typically I don't believe conspiracy theories, on the simple grounds that large numbers of people can't keep secrets very well.

The Epstein thing kind of has that answer built in.

A rich guy became "untouchable" by throwing sex parties and gathering blackmail material on important people. That's pretty much the easiest thing in the world to believe. At some point it becomes a self-perpetuating thing. Nobody wants to investigate him because it's a potential career-ruiner.

And keep in mind that he didn't need direct evidence on you. You just need to attend one of his parties where bad things went down. Let's say he's got video evidence of Famous Persons A, B, and C doing something at the party that happened on a specific night. You were at the party too, but like 47 out of the 50 guests you did nothing wrong and had no idea wrongdoing was happening. Well, now you're scared too. Maybe Epstein directly threatens you. Puts you in the little black book or whatever. Or maybe not. Some underage teenager was being victimized, and you were there, and now you have a strong incentive to hope the whole thing blows over because you're terrified of being painted as an abuser even though you were just there for the free shrimp and cocktails.

To me, it seems like the kind of thing anybody with sufficient money could pull off. It's not exactly news that donating fat sums of money to various institutions gets you prestige and access to lots of influential people.

I don't have an opinion on the Mossad stuff one way or another. Seems plausible but as for a guess on the likelihood it's way over my pay grade.
Also maybe consider flameless candles, powered by 2xAA (rechargeable, even). They can turn on/off automatically! Just add candle holders. I suspect they use LEDs, 2xAA lasts maybe 2 months running 5hrs/day (on internal timer).
Curious as to what's making you feel better from those reports. Reading today's, the documented cases in China grew 15% in the last 24 hours, and cases outside China grew by almost the same. It seems highly unlikely that this is going to be able to be contained, even assuming that China's numbers are remotely accurate.
Everything you say is true, but traders are only reacting to the money supply. The FED has been cranking dollars at a level that in unheard of since the depths of the Great Recession. It seems that they're committed to reelect the person in the HW at any cost. This money has to go somewhere, and for traders so much better if this all comes crashing later, there's more money to be made on the downside.
It's not colluding to buy and sell from one another, so it isn't even close to painting the tape. It's simply sharing that a trade was made. It's not illegal to tell people you bought 20k of apple puts. Especially, as in WSB, if everyone knows you're an idiot.

In my experience, they often like to give feedback on subsequent interviews about the past interviews. Google has some pretty detailed feedback on a interview I did years ago, which they were happy to reveal over the phone on a subsequent onsite invitation.
Fair enough. Do you think the same could be said of the person you replied to and you assumed was offended?
Inspire!

I transitioned into a tech lead a year ago and at first it was kind of annoyed by all the requests from the team regarding technical assistance.

I realized there were two paths I could take. 1. Continue to be annoyed and try to get as much coding in as I can. 2. Sit down with each individual, help them, give examples of how things should work etc.

Luckily I chose the latter option and I have a great relationship with all the team, I have strong coders that are more self-sufficient, and I enjoy more time coding now.

I think the lesson I learned is that you get out of your team much more than you put in, strive to inspire your devs.
Bingo.

After the interview is done and the answer is a solid NO, as a company we have NO BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP with you. Any iota of effort we put towards you is essentially wasted effort, even if very minor.

What changes that discussion further is that there is a small, but still quite real, possibility of lawsuit, social media rant (as another comment mentioned), or even a disgruntled applicant shooting up the place.

(I believe Pres. William McKinley was shot by a disgruntled would-be bureaucrat who didn't get a job...)

A perfunctory if generic rejection is a safer choice. Short-list candidates who made it to a 3rd interview, or folks who we reached out and headhunted (but didn't choose) may be a different story, but those are rare edge cases.
I think Cisco’s [existing] reputation goes a long way
I'm currently working on this process, replacing 40+ year Cobol systems with modern services. It's in private business, so we probably have more flexibility than in government, but a lot of the same principles apply.

What we don't do is look at the old code, document how it works, and then reproduce that. Prior to this legacy system being built the entire company worked with paper processes and documentation, so it was a paradigm shift for how the business worked. That system is slow to update, so how they work is heavily influenced by the business' thinking 40 years ago. Our replatforming project is seen as essential for the business' continual survival, so we're allowed to question processes, simplify where we can, and work as equals with the business in defining new processes. There are definitely hold-outs and resistance from some quarters, but once you launch some successes people start converting and accepting the process.

It was probably initially added as part of an import of US Census data (TIGER).

TIGER doesn't have all that much differentiation for minor roads, and the import didn't do anything other than a direct mapping of TIGER classes to specific sets of tags. For unnamed residential streets, it probably should have considered things like length and connectivity to downgrade a bunch of streets/roads.
