I think there are different varieties of this that someone can experience. Many have piled onto the "most people suck at their jobs bit" (possibly because they feel like they haven't been pat on the back enough).

I feel like it can be difficult to disseminate exactly what it is that you may or may not be good at in a job, partly because the offered reasons are opaque, and partly because being good at a job doesn't necessarily depend on having a high level of whatever skill you were ostensibly hired for. Up until this year, most companies have normalized a standard definition of a job that selects for one type of person with some kind of skill that hopefully they'll be passable at.

I personally have been terminated 5 or 6 times from various software related roles, and have pre-emptively quit two other unrelated jobs in customer service and moving. I have at all times, especially during the interview gauntlet, been totally dissolutioned with either my own skills, those that someone is looking for, or what I'm looking to do. I'm fairly sure that if you were a bad programmer at a software developer job, you'd never know it unless you just found yourself intellectually dumbstruck when faces with fairly mundane problems.

At this juncture, I have no idea what I'd still feel like doing as a job, but I can pretty reliably guess when I'll depart of my choosing or otherwise, out of boredom, bureaucracy, or a terrible awful no-good sleep insomnia.
The word Abd in Arabic means slave/servant [0], so should we ask anyone named Abdullah (God's slave) to change their name because it has the word slave in it? It's not about using a word casually, it's about using it in an irrelevant context.

Actually I think the answer is yes, as Rust is much stricter to the person who's contributing the code. If I was asked to review another person's code, I would much prefer reviewing Rust code, as I would be able to concentrate on the logic and the efficiency of the code instead of potential low level mistakes.

The code smell in Rust is usually marked with ,,unsafe'', Boxing / reference counters, or dynamic behaviour, which is very easy to search for.

I constantly have self doubts, something in between Imposter Syndrome and OCD. I need to make sure I did the right thing, and even when I'm done what I had to, the self doubt kicks in, the OCD makes me look over just once to make sure. I'd say, this feeling is the exact opposite of walking away from what you've destroyed behind yourself like in the movies.
In the early days of my career I thought this was what is keeping myself from achieving goals but later I realized that my self doubt kept me from making a lot of mistakes that would cost a fixing. It's ok to have self doubts, it's ok to think you're not competent enough, or fear that you'll fail in general. I believe that's what actually makes you a good developer.
The rise of virtual fitting rooms and their potential for exposure
Perhaps they found the task of turning their brains inside out unappealing for other reasons. Maybe it was just more work, for example. Maybe they didn’t need their “brilliance” to be validated.

It’s also not really a straightforward thing to do, there are all sorts of questions around how best to structure info for the purposes of those it will be used by. All of this is a pretty big undertaking. The more I think about it the more I’m unsurprised people didn’t just hop to it.
A free market would converge to something similar to what we have now. You neglect that people value things other than the amount of short term money to be made. People value wage stability more than getting paid their "market rate" and having to constantly apply for new jobs. Employers value the certainty of knowing that they will have competent employees when the get more work. You neglect that a market would be driven by supply (number of people who can reasonably do the job) which is why unpleasant, but quick to learn jobs often pay terrible wages--lots of 3rd world immigrant labor who can learn that work.

You also neglect that it generally takes about a year to get adjusted to a new business before you can do much more than follow process that someone gives you (you just don't understand the system level implications yet). If you want employees who can drive innovation and process improvement, they have to have some longevity with the company. You do see many companies moving towards what you suggest where they have core technical teams of employees who oversee/work alongside contractors who do the grunt work.
In my country (Luxembourg) is only one place where you can take the courses. That place is in the south of the country and the courses are held in the evening. Their schedule is impossible to combine it with public transportation and their sessions/courses are only done once per year, meaning that I'd have to wait an entire year to be able to apply to their courses. As a young person, it is nearly inpossible to participate without relying on somebody with a car or living somewhere closer.

Singapore. If you expand your criteria for success a bit to 'advanced economy', many countries have utilized foreign labor to great effect. Saudi Arabia, Dubai and other Middle Eastern states saw signficant economic development, and the emergence of large export industries, utilizing foreign labor.

Caribbean states with economies centered around finance and tourism, and at least one African state, Botswana, with its mining industry, did the same.

I'm fine with changing a word if there is a good reason to.
But I don't like this "wordophobia" where people are afraid of using words and we just keep adding new words that people can't use.

It reminds me of the Harry Potter series where they always try to avoid saying the name of Voldemort.
Don't be like that.

Don’t assume that what’s easy for you is easy for everyone else.

There’s more to getting out of debt than just basic math. I’ve been trying to keep track of my expenses for more than 20 years but no success so far. I do have online banking and a list of contracts but there’s no way for me to figure out how much money I actually have left. Because for example, that yearly medical copay may be around the corner. I have no idea how to account for it, or how to spread it over the months while still keeping track of how much disposable income I actually have at any given time. And that’s just one example.

Please be aware that not everyone is financially literate.

It's really no different in principle from coming up with a price for any business that you want to buy or sell. The stock market definitely has a speculative/greater fool theory element to it that buying or selling the local pizza parlor doesn't but it's not fundamentally all that different.

It boils down to what do you think the discounted cash flow (after tax) is going to be? Which, with companies, was historically considered to mostly be the net present value of dividends.

I don't think there are 25 people qualified to do that work looking for jobs. It's not something you can just throw money at, you need really qualified people to do that kind of work. Those people are in very high demand.
It's true that some of it will remain assembly forever, but there are large chunks of existing assembly in the kernel that can be ported to regular C and where the current code paths are getting too long to be effectively maintainable in assembly - you can split out the parts that specifically touch magic registers, etc etc and keep those in asm while moving more complex logic into C.

Depends on what you mean by "research". If you mean "problems with a high degree of novelty" then quite a lot of research, I think. Rust is unusual: it requires a lot of tricky type inference and static analysis from the compiler, and doesn't make developers structure their code with header files etc to make separate compilation easier; BUT unlike most languages with those properties, people are writing large real-world projects in it.

Hitler started with mass sterilization, the killing was secondary. Which is why the term is about more than just mass killings.

In China forced abortions and mass sterilization are selective based on ethnicity. Combined with reeducation camps and differential taxation based on ethnicity and number of kids is not simply enforcing a policy. The Chinese government is even dealing with the excess male population from their previous one child policy and preferential marriage laws to eliminate an ethnic group.

This is systematic genocide, even without the obvious mass graves.

I agree that it’s silly Amazon Japan doesn’t support this, but was speaking to the broader point that “Japanese, of all people, should know...”

> I can understand why they would want me to understand the laws governing ham radio. I don’t understand why I need to be able to read a schematic diagram to get a license.

You need to consider the big picture. Ham radio is just one of several radio services. They have different licensing requirements depending on their purpose and/or who is meant to use them.

For services that are aimed at people who just want to communicate, getting a license won't involve anything like schematic diagrams--if a license is even required.

The ham radio service's target is radio geeks. Hams are given considerably more leeway in what they can do with radio than are users of most other services, and so the licensing requirements include more things concerning the underlying technology than you need to just operate a radio reasonably.

I see two behaviors in 1Password

1) I go to a site and it auto fills the login. Not sure when clipboard needs to be involved there. Shouldn’t that just be the application taking data from its database, recognizing the associated form, and filling it?

I was merely pointing out that CSP efficiency likely doesn't increase with increasing ambient temperature, it's just inherently more tolerant.

As an aside, your calculations are improper, even though results are close enough. 0℃ is merely 273.15K and the temperature at which water tends to freeze. E.g. PV efficiency is usually quoted at 25℃ (or 300K), so at -20℃ they could generate cca 120% of "max" (rated) capacity.

If you can do that you have a basic grasp of marketing, copy, product market fit, accounting and taxes, financing, maybe design, hiring and outsourcing. Definitely a head start.

> They should have used a new term, not taken an existing one.

False premise. They didn't take "an existing generic industry term" and "give it a new definition". They took an existing definition[1] and tried coming up with a catchy new turn of phrase that they hoped would be adopted in lieu of "free software", and they were wildly successful. So successful that people convince themselves that "open source" must have already been a thing when Christine Peterson suggested it at the meeting where they settled on using it.

> Humans can’t process multiple audio streams simultaneously.

I'm not sure this is true. I think our comprehension drops when we do, but we regularly process background noise and speech at the same time, same for people interjecting over others with simple things like 'excuse me' or similar.

I may be misunderstanding or stretching your point but it's interesting to think about.

I also immediately jumped to surveillance tech when I read it though I can think of other areas it would be useful. Home assistants like they mention in the article would be a great use case, not for multiple inputs at the same time, but to isolate the speaker addressing the home assistant.
It's not my idea. This is well-known.

As for who pays for it: that's a tricky issue! But if we get into a situation where (for example) 10,000 developers spend an hour a day waiting for builds, we know 50 developers could fix the issue in a year, but that doesn't happen because we can't figure out how to structure it economically --- that would be a failure of organizational imagination.
I'm sure it would be hard for you too if you living far below your means meant spending nothing or next to nothing.
