I've been doing this for 25 years now and I've never had to implement an algorithm[1] from scratch or do any dynamic programming. I'm not entirely sure I'd consider myself "clueless" because of that.

When you think about it this way it’s clearly fair use.
This is their current situation, but historically this has not been the case. Korean for a very long time was written with Chinese characters, as was Vietnamese.

The article posted by GP also clarifies a distinction between adopting Chinese loan words as any given language may (such as the word "tea" in English), versus a particular model of bulk adoption of not only characters but vocabulary that occurred in JKV languages.
Typescript has allowed me to write JavaScript applications focused upon data structures without sacrificing expressiveness or usability. I am currently writing an OS and file system sharing application that executes in the browser with a full GUI.

I had to discover this on my own though. If I were waiting on the corporate world to show me fun and ambitious things I would have long since given up programming in its entirety. Constantly listening to people cry about how hard life is without megabytes of tools and frameworks to do their jobs for them and never having to write original logic, while enjoying all the amenities in the world, is really off putting.

How do you know that? What if there was a factory running at less than 100% physically capacity? You could in theory ramp up production very quickly simply by hiring more people, but you won’t, because doing so incures costs (training them, giving them PPE, ...) and you can’t be sure about your income (price rises are banned, exporting is outlawed, your product might even be confiscated).

China turned off mekong river tap causing severe droughts
I went through something similar, a bit earlier in the process. I wasn't burned out with programming, but burned out with the particular job I was doing, which had basically been taken over by the work of being a maintainer: Reviewing other people's code, writing up community standards, trying to relieve friction in the community, etc. I had programming things on my to-do list; but whenever I organized the list by order of importance, the programming tasks were never anywhere near the top.

I reached the point where I'd sort my list, look at the things at the top and think, "I know these things are important, and it's certainly gratifying to have the influence and the authority to try to make these changes... but I kind of don't really care."

At that point, I realized that if something didn't change I was eventually going to get fed up and leave the project entirely, leaving a big hole. So, I said that I'd set aside Friday to do some "fun" programming, to keep the job interesting. (I ran this by my boss, and he was supportive.) I thought this "fun" would have to be something really different and new, but it turns out nearly any kind of programming will do; so although I mentally give myself permission to do whatever I want on those days if I need to, I often end up just writing "normal" "important" code from the top of my to-do list. Just that little bit is enough to "pay" for the rest of the week.

Joy is the source of our power as human beings. No human activity is sustainable long-term if the psychological cost of doing something outweighs the psychological benefit; and conversely, people can endure an amazing amount of hardship and toil if the activity is a source of joy. The key to sustainable work, relationships, whatever is to be looking for ways to find joy in those activities.
Because it's the shell itself that gets the focus for the interactivity. You use generic suggestions (as listed elsewhere in this thread) to do things like tab-completion, substituting in previously used arguments, copying the last thing you typed, etc. but they work across commands.

isotope (the JS layout library) and isotope.js (the JS view library) are arguably a naming collision despite having slightly different names. I feel like two projects having exactly the same name can have a qualifier to their collision added.
Accountants, Lawyers, and Surveyors have credentialling bodies that train, test and monitor performance.

Accountants don't need to show they are qualified in interview because they have the letters ACA, ACCA, CEMA or whatever that they can clearly point to.

Lawyers and Surveyors similarly have profession bodies that handle qualification.

Software engineering is not uniquely broken but it is broken, but the author jumps to the wrong conclusion.

The other engineering and professional disciplines have professional bodies who have official qualifications.

Software engineering has never solidified around any particular set of qualifications and many think they are not relevant.

And artists are often asked to do some initial work for free before a client commits, they often end up doing a lot of "wasted" work for free without getting properly compensated, so it seems odd to argue that's a model that software should look toward.
I created a website to translate English docs of GitHub projects into Chinese
Hi, guys,
I created a website: https://www.breword.com
to translate documents of open source projects on Github.

If you are a Github project maintainer, you will be befinied from Breword to make your project widely known to a lot of Chinese developers.

If you are good at both Chinese && English, wellcome to breword to contribute, your words will give power to many Chinese developers and a good chance to reUnderstand the target project.

website address: https://www.breword.com

Any ideas or suggestions, send email to: support@breword.com
> Competition can also do it, but idk how that eliminates minimum wage from doing it.

Minimum wage only potentially does it for a narrow range of work with actual economic value that is between the minimum wage and a small multiple of it, and only for jobs where there isn't effective competition for labor (because effective competition for labor already does it as much as is possible, leaving nothing for minimum wage to do), and always has the cost, whether or not the conditions exist to provide the benefits, of making impossible all wage labor with an actual economic value less than the minimum wage, which not only kills jobs, but prevents upward mobility from the experience people would gain in those lower-value jobs.

> Minimum wage is fully pragmatic to me, not an ideal. It's a net positive compared to the current situation.

Minimum wage + means- and behavior-tested public benefit programs is the current situation.

Personally, I (as a software engineer who loves to write software) would advocate buy anywhere and everywhere you can. Even your core business. In my personal experience it's rarely code that's giving you an advantage, it's more likely to be your data, your connections, your efficiency, etc.

Also, try to use the product as off-the-shelf as possible. Little or no customisation. If people in your business are unable to work with a product without customisation consider firing them and replacing them with people who can before you get involved in customisations.

For me the dominating factor here is human resource pool. For whatever we build there are no experts on the system except the ones who already work for us. So aside from all the build, maintenance, etc. costs associated with build, I also can't find any employees on the market who are experts or even competent in the software.
I'm keeping an eye on initial jobless claims and BLS unemployment statistics. I'm concerned that it's a cascading effort as fewer workers means less spending means less earnings means fewer workers and the cycle continues. Obviously the government has levers to try to ease the pain (lower interest rates, pass stimulus bills), but it's not yet clear how sufficient these levers will be.
How to Change Language to English
> Preserving their traditional alphabet and de-colonializing their culture is a good thing, no matter how I look at it

There are downsides to any situation. E.G:

- cost

- available resources for education and work

- adding one more obstacles for different cultures to be able to understand each other

I'm french, and in my country, language protection is a big thing.

It's also why we have such a terrible ability to speak english, which create way more problems than it solves.

Language preservation is overrated. Sure, it's nice. But compared to one day, having the entire earth speak the same language, be able to communicate and understand each other better? Small price to pay.

It get why they do it. Mongolia is a very peculiar culture, and I don't think it benefits much from mondialisation. Quite the contrary. And it's a way for their society to break from a painful part of their history.

But to me, it seems, at least on the long run, a step backward. Every time a language dies, like latin or summerian did, we gain uniformity. There are enough source of diversity in humanity to not need to add it to the very structure we use to exchange information.

Granted, the cyrillic alphabet is not very universal, but it is certainly more common than the traditional mongolia alphabet.

Now since I don't live there, I may be missing some crucial informations. Maybe the population still massively use the old alphabet unofficially and it makes sense. Maybe the use of the cyrillic alphabet brough problems I can't see.

So of course, I'm not the right peson to judge the situation.

But I wanted to bring a counter point to this the enthusiastic parent comment. We tend to react in a very emotional way when it's about culture, and I'm not sure it benefits our specie.
Assuming that the client is essentially a web app then yes, the javascript must be able to read the encryption key.

However, it's not a hard requirement that the server delivers the javascript to us: it could be hosted locally, e.g. a trusted Electron wrapper around a set of HTML/CSS/JS stored on my computer, for some definition of trusted.

This is how a lot of other e2e-encrypted messaging app can be used, e.g. Signal, WhatsApp, Riot.im: a "trusted" set of client code over which the untrusted server has no control.
Many people die all the time but it's much harder to hide how many people die total in a developed nation for systemic reasons. Except for natural disasters, the mortality rate for a country the size of the United States or Italy is surprisingly stable. The difference between deaths in March 2019 and March 2020 gives a lot more reliable information on the impact of the virus than testing numbers, which are limited by the availability of tests and the testing procedure (contact tracing vs testing only the highest risk patients or the most severe cases). However, this is just a more concrete measure of the extreme impact of the virus. Without a lot more data, it's not enough to even predict how many people have it or how infectious/deadly it is.

It's quite simple really. On BSDs you tend to use ports to keep your filesystem tidy, but the moment you need something that's not already packaged you either a.) package it yourself b.) the build system is complex and thus you don't package it properly and make a bit of a mess on your filesystem.

So while BSDs might have slightly better FS layout as far as separation of user & system software, in the end you'd probably end up with a bunch of untracked files outside the system's software manager, no matter if you're on Linux or BSD.
I fully agree. Here is my experience hiring from a pool of candidates:

The problem with minimum wage is that there is no minimum wage guarantee by the state. The same problem applies to price controls of any kind. If nobody is willing to sell you a product that satisfies the price controls then you go home empty handed. If the rules are too strict and end up preventing the market from working then the government is to blame and the government has to step in and actually provide whatever nonsensical guarantee it made.

If the government wants to prevent you from getting a job that pays less than minimum wage it has to provide you with a job that actually does pay minimum wage.
That isn't making a sensible point. f(x) is the risk at dose x. If f(x) = x under the LNT and g(x) = {0: x<0.5, x: x>0.5} then the Mean Value Theorum is satisfied and the non-linear g() is equal to or less risky than the LNT for any dose.

g(x) is a linear-with-threshold model by the way. The steeper slope (infinte, in fact) found in the model would be a huge theoretical positive for nuclear.

There would be fewer old failure modes in new reactor designs. There would be other failure modes (some unknown at design stage) in the new designs. Concentrated energy gradient in nuclear power generation suggests any claim of inherent safety is wishful thinking.

> There is no comparison between modern engineering and 1970s engineering.

There absolutely is, and tech people simply don't appreciate how slow the pace of progress was outside semiconductors. Outside the CAD based process flow the differences in mechanical and civil engineering to what they were are minimal. There are hardly any materials (outside of some niche exotics like PEEK) used today that were unknown in 1970s.

>> nearly six million in Inner Mongolia, a Chinese region who use the traditional script is used.

seems it is used a lot already - they are just making it a standard.
To add to what has already been said:

Hangul is the script you are thinking of, which was invented and introduced in the 15th century by King Sejong.

However, there are many Chinese loan words in Korean language, especially on an academic level. You can even find Chinese characters in Korea today, usually in newspapers, on street or restaurant signs. For example, the Korean word for "president" is 대통령 (Taet'ongnyeong), but in newspapers it may be written as 大統領, which are the matching Chinese characters.

Also, most Korean parents choose Chinese characters to write for their children's names, which read (more or less, as Korean does not have tones) the same as the Korean characters.
I think it will have the opposite effect.

Once we see the benefit of being able to communicate freely with anybody, and losing the protective aspect of being able to communicate in a language others can't understand, I think people will lose interest in local languages and dialect?

Why learn them when you can just translate them when you need them? What do they bring, except some aesthetical pleasure? Given the work it is to translate materials to a language, it will stop to be done: let the automatic system do that for you!

Then, people will be able to mix and travel more, exchange more, and so they will.

In this env, and using translation again and again, people will start to pick up whatever language is the most common.

Eventually, what is not useful will diseapear, only artefacts that we can translate automatically, will remain.
> That's why we're talking about deaths, not mortality.

I believe you're confusing fatality and mortality. The correct version of that statement is: "That's why we're talking about mortality, not fatality.

The case fatality rate is the ratio of number of deaths to the number of people who are confirmed to have the disease (which depends a lot on standard of care, reporting, and bureaucratic integrity) whereas mortality rate is the rate of deaths in general.
After 20 years of programming professionally, you may have found that a good few of the products you're making and tools you're using aren't ones you specifically enjoy. You may have found yourself at one or more jobs that weren't quite what you were looking for, and staying there mainly for the money, without feeling some of the intrinsic motivation you usually have.

If some of that applies to you, then perhaps the answer is that you should do programming that you enjoy. That could mean doing hobby projects on the side, it could mean trying to start your own business and seeing how that goes, or switching jobs and hoping you get lucky. If programming for 20 years has made you rich, then you could also try living off your savings (and the interest/dividends of what money you invest) and doing some of the above without a 9-5 and seeing how that goes.
I read a lot of astronomy journalism that I think is absolutely awful (one of the main reasons I made this account was to point out garbage articles/comments). I actually think that this is pretty good.

As someone who didn't major in CS, the technical interview is the reason I was able to get a job. I didn't have ton of professional experience, and I didn't have a degree in a directly relevant field. But in a technical interview, I could show that yes, I really did know how to code.

I did have a "portfolio" of projects on Github, but it wasn't very large, and the most interesting project there were, well, too complicated for an interviewer to understand in short amount of time. And what about people who don't contribute to open source, either due to lack of time or desire? What do they have for a portfolio?

Don't get me wrong, technical interviews certainly aren't perfect, and there are a lot of ways to improve them. But I think they should be improved by making them measure what an developer actually does, rather than removing them altogether. In fact, I would say that if accountants (or any other technical profession) aren't assessed on their technical ability as part of the interview process, maybe they should be.
