Hahahaha, I see your point. But I'd say that I remember that meme because people keep posting it and I disagree with it. There are a lot of other things I remember just as well, even though I've seen those things only once, and those things don't necessarily evoke any emotional response.

Because managing state is really the major unsolved problem in front-end. No framework has it really solved -- but in React (and Vue) the other stuff is so easy that the issue of state management because much more pronounced.
The article mentions that
This feels a bit like the 10x developer discussion. There is a small percentage of the population who are 10x developers anyplace they go. There is another chunk that are 10x developers given a solid environment, who would otherwise be average or even poor developers in the wrong environment. There are average developers, and then there are a few that just aren't very good and should be in some other profession.

It seems almost obvious this holds true for any job, including Costco, where perhaps someone isn't fast or personable enough to be a checker, but they'd be great driving the forklift. Find the right environment and suddenly they shine. There will always be a percentage of the population that is unemployable for some reason, but my personal experience is that it isn't as large as is often believed.
Hypermarts are a thing in (just outside usually) the dense cities with good public transportation, so Costco is almost (may be need to supersize its stores just a bit more) ready for the future.

I’m sure you’re not unique, but your case is far from usual either.
I can see people not wanting that second promotion. It sounds like it would be at least partly a different job, requiring orthogonal skills like you mentioned. I would imagine one can stay a welder and improve to a point where they would earn even more than site managers.

Like, there's welders that can weld garden gates, then there's welders that can work on underwater pipes, then I imagine organizations like NASA need even further skilled welders. I don't think there's ever a need to transition to managing subordinates.
Did humans truly domesticate dogs? Canine history more a mystery than you think
I think it can be helpful in this situation to work backwards, starting with:

- What type of jobs do you want to get? This can be extremely general (web vs mobile), or more specific (a particular industry, for example).
- What are the most important skills/popular technologies for those jobs? You can figure this out by browsing job listings.
- What projects/blog posts could you build that A. Interest you and B. Incorporate those technologies/skills?

It sounds like you're applying for more junior roles. In this case, your interviewer is not going to be vetting your example projects to see if you built a market-ready application. They want to see that you generally know what you're doing and have some relevant experience.
The issue is that DNS registrations should cost money to dis-incentivize excessive parking. And the money it should cost vastly exceeds operating costs. It's not clear what you should do with that money - someone is bound to be unhappy.
The blue-collar jobs I had in my early 20s were the only jobs I've ever been remotely happy in. They were all relaxed & itinerant kind of things (forestry, farming, driving, fairgrounds). I suppose (but am not sure) I would have grown tired of that kind of life eventually.

But I have truly loathed every microsecond of every white collar job I later took on, for a variety of reasons. I'm relatively immune to envy on the whole, but I do admit to it for people who have found satisfaction in work (not that I have known many).

But that is policy and nothing technical.
I say that's fine, you don't have to hide anything. Most people have things they would like to keep private however.

Some older folks may not have nudes on thier phone or porn habits to hide.. but most younger folks have nudes of themselves and people they know or have known , or at least something 'incriminating' - almost nude, drinking, whatever..

and I go to explain how hundreds or thousands of engineer-nerds have access to their daughter's pics and videos, chat logs and history of wives and husbands..

we're given permission by them to collate this info and combine it shopping habits, cc and debit purchases. We can know when they are pregnant before anyone else. We have systems that auto-copy their pics if they are 80% or more nude and saved on a one-drive system (do all win 10 systems have that?) and sends those nudes and nearly nudes for humans to inspect them,

call your bank in the morning and ask them if they auto-opted-you-in for sharing all the purchasing data from your debit card.

Last I checked if you wanted to buy pics of their daughter they were around $10 for license and commercial use.

See you may not have anything to hide.. but because you use these privacy destroying services the network effects of family / friends also use that.. you are creating this problem for others.

So just grab a few phones from girls in your family and copy all the pics and browser history from all their apps - and give copies to the neighbors.. cuz the girls in your fam are already sharing them with thousands of other people they don't know.. it's just they likely did not read of understand the permissions they gave, so they have no idea how many engineer-nerds are looking at their pics, videos, and purchase history.

Think I'm missing a few things on this rant, need to dig up my old comments on this and blog it or something I guess.
What part of this is open source? I don't see any Github or other links to said source.

It looks like you're going to eventually build a company around this and maybe you will think about releasing the source then? In which case, the title is still misleading.

I do appreciate that you've released documentation ahead of the product, it does indicate that you understand how important that aspect of the business will be.
The FAA training review may be triggered by the Boeing 737 Max crashes, but I wasn't specifically talking about Boeing.

The public misunderstands the role between FAA and Boeing.

Boeing is the ODM, so safety is largely delegated to Boeing. That is necessary because the FAA does not have aircraft designers on staff, and won't, because aerospace keeps advancing.

What is needed is criminal penalties for what Boeing did regarding the inaccurate MCAS FAA filings.

Congressional representatives have at times pursued fraud charges against pilots for various reasons. The problem is that if they do that against campaign donors, then those briefcases of cash will disappear.

https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=93206

To offer something constructive:

1) In American corporate mgmt., discussion and accountability is diffused across multiple teams. Even attempting to use the word accountability is perceived as "a problem."

2) That's compounded when you have complex systems that use both hardware and software. In the case of the 737 MAX, you have external sensors subject to weather and damage, internal wiring and software. In this case it appears the software was outsourced. It would take their best Sr. Engineers to trace through that and say anything definitive. See #1 for why it's not worth it as an employee.

3) Submitting FAA aerospace compliance documents and outsourcing software development may simply be incompatible due to change management iterations and accountability.

So my summary would be that Boeing needs to be re-organized around accountability instead of penny-pinching. That would require turning a huge company inside-out. None of the founders are left. The current CEO has that mandate, but seeing is believing.

In general:

Bitching is tantamount to passively asking others to solve problems for you, and antithetical to "Be the change you seek." This could be extended to "Find and try solutions before whining about problems."

Maybe the intent of their blog was to be a personal outlet of frustration, rather than anything constructive? It's hard to say.

More specifically: looking for a particular looking group to blame that has little influence over root cause(s) sounds a lot like scapegoating IMHO. Some trends in life have no specific person or group to blame or shame, while others do to an extent. If younger people these days are looking for specific causes to grotesque inequality, it's not old grannies who are on fixed-income Social Security (pensions), but it sure could be the lack of billionaires sharing their excessive exploitation of automation, deregulation, rollback of worker pay, decrease in jobs and increased worker productivity. People get upset when they can't start families, and blaming them that it's somehow their innate failing when there aren't enough jobs or houses to go around when there are a few people sitting on several trillion USD doesn't square that circle.

> I think there needs to be a rethinking of the Grand Theory of Deep Learning Architecture TM.

strong agree. Although perhaps not so much a rethinking as a theory of all. Huge dearth of theory in the field. Daily practition involves regular use of black magic intuition for arch, problem posing and debugging. Weird times.
I don't believe your claims entirely really true:

1. It's very hard to lose wealth while in management. Networking and clique play a big part of the manager eco system. Plus, in the startup area, if you are an entrepreneur that his startup failed you are not considered a failure, far from it. It is also more likely for you to bean entrepreneur if yoy have a strong financial background.

2. This 'True Protestant Ideal' isn't relevant. This 'false Protestant' developed from a Protestant mindset, through a natural evolution of ideas. Plus, I think you'd find that a similar part of these so called 'True Protestant' make claims like those I made point with.

3. The only relevant left in the west, is social democratic. Maybe in the US less so, only Sanders could fit that description. But, I'm not from the US, so my default meaning of left is social democratic.
Which left we're you speaking of?
Some IDEs allocate config directories in your homedir: .idea, .vscode, .vim

Some of them do it under .config.

Some systems write to /usr/local

Some things scope to the project you're working in. Python venv, node_modules, etc.

Build systems, such as Cargo, Maven, and Pants each do their own thing.

Make, autotools...

Have you looked at an Android filesystem? I don't even know how to describe it.

Everything everywhere is horribly inconsistent.

I'm thinking in terms of workloads, of which building and linking are merely types of work that produce artifacts. There are many types: server workloads, jobs, userland software.

If you semantically declare what a workload needs, what dependencies it has, where those dependencies must exist, and what outputs it produces, everything can be wired together logically and hermetically.

I'm hoping the immutable containers of the Docker/microservice world make their way onto the desktop.

If I can reduce my entire desktop environment into a single config file and have it reliably reconstruct itself, it would be magical. I would freeze and wipe my machine constantly.

Of course writable, mutable volumes will exist for humans, but software can't play in that realm or it will lose hermeticity.

I've sort of gotten off track and am no longer speaking about package managers / build systems. I think there's a more general solution to all of these problems.
It's great to see all the good competition in this area. The more use, discussion, and cross pollination among them the better. Here's another one (Akkeris) I've used, open sourced by an excellent former employer and devops team: https://beta.akkeris.io/
I think it's supposed to be used by a team working / playing together. Not very useful for a bunch of strangers.

I don't know about televisions, but on many items they negotiate longer warranties with the manufacturer. That itself can be worth a lot. For instance I know if you buy a refrigerator on their branded credit card from them you get something like 3 years parts and labor, which is often 3 times longer than the warranty from other places.
At my local Costco there is like an entire aisle dedicated to coffee/tea. Not sure what other stores are like. At least at my store, things are pretty logically laid out, usually doesn't feel like searching for a needle.
I think an important point is that anything higher up the chain rarely gets attention. Every agile training I have attended has emphasized that agile implementation should transform the whole organization. In practice I have never seen this happen so the devs work in a sort of agile environment within a non-agile environment.

The United States is massive. Expecting that public transportation will replace cars to any significant scale is to reveal a lack of exposure to the vast majority of the country. Las Cruces, NM for instance — they aren’t going to build a subway and suddenly replace cars. Midland, Texas, Imperial, California — most people don’t live in a tight urban core. In France, outside of Paris — most people have, and need cars. The idea that millennials are all just dying to live in Manhattan is an out of touch myth. Cars as we know them will certainly change, but personal transportation will always be important — as will suburbs where your kid can grow up with an actual yard. Not everyone wants to live in a Hong Kong-style beehive.

I think that an important precursor to being compassionate is the ability to sense what others might be going through and wanting to help. The fact that you were moved by the film (which I haven't watched btw) and want to be more like Mr. Rogers is an indication that the precursor exists.

Other than that, we often strive for bigger changes that we can make. Instead, we must start with our immediate circle and always keep an open eye for what we can do to help this very minute in our family, neighbourhood, work or friend circle.

Anything counts - from fixing someones computer or helping them with taxes to just catching up with someone for coffee and hearing them out about the difficult ordeal they are going through.

They're simple, but from the article:

> The main problem with conventional forks is that they can’t separate bump forces from braking forces.

> As a result, a conventional fork dives under hard braking. As weight’s transferred to the front wheel, the fork springs compress. This uses up fork travel that would otherwise be available for bumps, which is bad enough. But wait, it gets worse...

> Brake dive also shortens the wheelbase and changes the rake angle. In a perfect world, engineers would certainly rather not change those parameters in mid-corner!

This makes braking mid-corner a risky proposition, which leads to accidents when riders encounter surprises mid-corner.

In the motorcycling world this is being worked around by computers, so we're not likely to see an alternate front suspension, unfortunately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHRWg91hv-M

Hacker News always has been driven by fashion and novelty. It's a news site after all.

The main innovation of recent programming languages is the use of social media for marketing and PR by their companies to promote them.
The canonical source for Backus is his Turing Award Lecture, which was turned into a paper, by which time he had renamed his system FFP (Formal Functional Programming). [0]. There was some longer term research into his FFP system, done by Williams and Wimmers (who gave a much loved talk titled ‘Sacrificing simplicity for convenience: Where do you draw the line?’ that I can not find a copy or transcript of to save my life in 1988) which evolved into The FL language also by Backus, with Williams and Wimmers[2]. There is a great succinct rundown of Backus’ work in this area and those who continued it in [3], it is a little lengthy so I didn’t want to just big block quote it.

Also, with regard to the CT thing, I totally get that. The predominance of CT-based concepts (no matter how far they are actually removed from the mathematical background of actual CT) are one of the defining features of modern functional programming, to the point people make jokes about needing to know CT to write ‘Hello World’ in Haskell. However, and I admit to having an unhealthy obsession with following PLT academia, it really is a little bit of a smoke screen. Nearly all ‘functional’ languages are based on the lambda calculus and various augmentations thereto, and so most of the CT applied in the area tends to be refinements and imports of various constructs into some potentially BiCartesian Closed Category (which is what the lambda calculus with the common functional programming additions of product and sum types and 1st class functions is as a category). But as I said before, the fundamental construct in the computational model is application via substitution. All of the advanced categorical constructs and tools still hold for compositional languages, but, as the theory goes, you gain an algebraic theory of manipulation of the actual programming language by virtue of the categorical properties of composition (and the inferred lack of hand-wringing over the semantics of substitution.

Sorry for the wall of text, this particular corner of CS and PLT is my favorite place, so any chance to talk about it I jump on.

I think there is a lot of room in ecommerce for a "trusted brand" like costco where you can just thoughtlessly buy from because I trust they did the research.

Amazon used to be that around 2013/14, but now I prefer to spend more and buy things elsewhere because I don't have to do so much research to make sure the product doesn't suck.
You are mistaken. Granted their deployment tools are still in an early stage, but like everything else in the guix ecosystem it looks promising

Here's a tutorial for guix server deployments

Those two package descriptions don't appear equivalent. The Nix one includes tmux-bash-completion and some extra build configuration compared to the Guix one, as well as a much more verbose description.
To people who were paying attention to the wishful thinking at the time about tor's security guarantees, it doesn't seem so incredible.
I actually disagree with GP. Nix doesn't add a layer of indirection, instead replaces many of the existing layers (common development environment, locking dependencies, reproducible environment, package managment, configuration managment system, image building, CI/CD).

Nix real power is being a language that allows to describe all of those things in a declarative way.

Thank you for sharing your helpful insights. I will continue learning Julia as well as exploring and comparing options (in addition to Python and Julia, I'm also considering Node.js and C#, though to a lesser degree). I have certainly noticed the vibrancy of the Julia community, however, to me, as a startup founder, the problem of talent availability still represents a significant issue - community help can get us only so far. Most Julia developers are academia/science-affiliated, with a smaller number of people employed in the industry, mostly in sectors like finance and energy - so, a very limited talent pool makes it quite challenging to build a very good engineering team, at least, in the near term).
