Not sure we have any talks about that specifically, but what I can say is that on the Clojure codebases:

- We rely heavily on testing (unit tests, property-based/generative and integration)

- We adopt a micro-services architecture, so most codebases are small enough that refactoring is easy, or sometimes we just replace the service altogether

- We leverage Schema (https://github.com/plumatic/schema) and/or clojure.spec (https://clojure.org/guides/spec) to annotate functions and data schemas, but it's opt-in

- We have static checking of data schemas across boundaries (e.g. checking data producers did not break consumers over HTTP or Kafka), which is where we found the most value (replaced complicated end-to-end tests)
I flagged this post and believe it is spam b/c:

- the book "Dive into Deep Learning" is NOT a book about :deep learning" as applied to AI, neural networks or computer science,

- the book IS a book about education, the classroom, schools, teaching methods, etc.

It appears that the publishers/authors as well as a small group of others are attempting to wrest the term "deep learning" from AI and redefined it as an education term for marketing purposes, i.e., to confuse buyers and sell copies of books, courses, lectures, etc. such as the one addressed here.

This thread is seriously in need of some tough love.

@faang0722, you're being a slacker, and not doing right by either your company or yourself.

You're at one of the top companies in the world, and are safe from the jobs disaster that's gripping the entire country. Millions of people are desperate to receive $600-1600 from the government this month because they are unable to work. Millions are putting on shitty facemasks and still showing up to work at grocery stores and warehouses and wherever, risking disease because they have no other choice. Meanwhile you can't be bothered to work at home on your laptop more than one day a week, because the build system and tech debt makes you sad?

You say the company is evidently pleased with your work and that may be true, but now you're part of the problem. You think the company tolerates shitty work, so you've decided to tolerate shitty work. Don't.

Since you don't think what you're doing is ethically wrong, have you told your manager that the work assigned to you is so simple that you only actually work one day a week? Of course not.

So either start putting in your best work, or switch teams or company and see if it suits you better... or else accept that you're being a freeloader and pretending to do more work than you really are.
No, it should be (and basically is) based on the distribution of salaries available to that employee in the market she or he has access to. This means locally available jobs, as well as remote ones within a couple timezones/with compatible language/culture. In the US, as the pool of remote jobs gets larger I expect salaries to normalize to somewhere between "bay area" and "rural midwest".
Sounds like The Saga of Biorn https://youtu.be/MV5w262XvCU
It already is. If it’s legal to give you a pay cut cuz you’re not coming to the office anymore it’ll get done. If they can force it on you because you have no choice they will. Remember business don’t exist to be fair. They exist to make money. This is not evil.

>On the other hand, I didn't know that "Wild Wild West" was by Will Smith!

It was from the Wild Wild West remake movie he starred in as well. I think they were trying to recreate the success of the Men in Black formula[0] but that song wound up being the only part of it that anyone remembered.

> How much sympathy can I really spare for a purely leisurely hobby like backyard astronomy vs. satellites, Starlink, and our space tech?

Your sympathy or lack thereof is your business, but astronomy is one of the rare sciences where amateurs still do a great deal of work and make important discoveries.

> I'm sure there are good examples of trade-offs that matter here like the impact on terrestrial research telescopes, but a guy snapping a pic of a comet and ranting about it on Twitter frankly has the opposite effect on me.

It's a shame you would allow your opinion on an important subject to be swayed by a single tweet on an issue you apparently know little or nothing about.
As a Finn, I would be very interested to hear what are the sources for your claim that Finland are undercounting Covid-19 deaths. Further, could you elaborate in which way you claim Finland to be undercounting, such as Covid-19 deaths outside hospital setting, and is the undercounting supposed to be a country-wide policy, or limited to some specific regions?

Also what is the source for your claim about Sweden being very eager to label deaths as Covid-19? The excess death counts published by NY Times and Economist show only Belgium overcounting, and Sweden with more excess deaths than official Covid-19 deaths. If anything, Sweden's official total is unfortunately still missing hundreds of deaths, more than have died of Covid-19 in Finland or in Norway altogether.
Very useful article! waiting a terraform best practice
Would the company pay more if you moved into a better place (bigger house, nicer neighbourhood with better schools, etc.) that happens to be more expensive to live in? I very much think not.

So no, they shouldn't adjust downwards for that family of reasons either.
Or maybe this happens over the millions of years the earth has been here!?
This is my experience as well. I currently use a USB switch that I got off of Amazon for about 15 bucks. It typically "just works." Press the button, wait 2 seconds and my input devices have switched.

Or maybe not, just like how the FDA fumbled the test development while forbidding private alternatives to avoid losing face.

I can imagine such a word, were graft and power decides what project gets the money, instead of the population aggregated preferences through the free market.

I seriously believe we would all be worse off. It is not about justifying our own preferences, but thinking about all of mankind. If the vast majority of the world population believes "destroying the environment through resource extraction" is needed to elevate their standard our living to ours, we have to gracefully accept they are our equals, and to collectively deal the problem later on.

I think you should consider that what we want and what is going to make us happier is generally the same. There are rare exceptions, and we take offense that capitalism rewards them too, but they remain exceptions.

How different is that from the US Coast Guard's (and especially regular merchant ships whose crews are part of the Coast Guard Reserve's) wartime function? I would suppose that all organized merchant-marine escort fleets are trained to cooperate/coordinate with their country's Navy; if not just to "get the heck out of the way, this area is about to be under attack."

Also, AFAIK, it's a de-facto "law of the sea" that pretty much all ships with transponders—no matter the flag they fly—will willingly act as relays for other ships that cannot communicate, in order to facilitate search-and-rescue. Same with planes. It's a whole part of their signalling codes.
I'd rather it be a programming language, which Netscape tried to do with Javascript Style Sheets in the late 90s. Was way more flexible, but was never accepted as a standard and of course, was not supported by IE.
Source: Worked at 3 different FAANGs for nearly 10 years.

What you are describing exists in almost every big company. I assume that you are working on a mature product with a big code base. In these projects the pace of development is slow and the changes are typically small and incremental. Engineers tend to get burnt out as building anything requires an egregious amount of back and forth with PMs, TPMs, QE, etc. As a result probably 90% of the engineers are not motivated to build anything instead optimize for reaching the next level (L5 L6 etc) and payday.

I came to the same conclusion as you and ended up quitting. However if you want to stay there is another path.

Like I said 90% of the people you are working with are burnt out and their work is boring, but 10% are legit engineers building the future. They might not be working on your team, or your product, or even your org, but they are there. If you can collaborate with these people you will find your work 1000x more enjoyable and these are the type of people who will go on to do great things. You can be one of them and this will carry you on to bigger and better things as your career goes on.

First you need to prove yourself to your own team as someone who can get things done and isn't a wimp. This can take as little as a few months. After that look around your own product and org for something that you would be totally stoked to work on. Maybe this is an inventive product idea you came up with, maybe its something a secret team is building, who knows? Start reaching out to your manager and people on that project and offer your services. Start small build an integration with some other product, fix a few bugs, etc. Be nosy into what is happening within your company, stay upbeat, and be willing to step in and be the man. If you have that attitude and can keep your passion going you can get to those rare higher levels of the engineering profession. If you check out of your job and stay depressed you can make a living for a while but you will stay where you are. It is what you make of it, and if your company or your manager won't let you progress in the way you want, you can always quit. Don't stick around for years doing the same old BS, and don't let your career be controlled by your manager, but there is another way. That being said if you are young and a new grad it will be much more difficult until you have proven yourself over a few years.
How were they sampling? I could totally believe 1% of Vox readers don’t believe it while 30% of the US also doesn’t.
We are releasing the code as well...
umm, no. to all of that. the mentality is that the reason we have china producing our crap vanished a long time ago, and the only reason we're still using them is because change has a high initial cost. they don't make high-tech complex things. they take our design and put up a factory to stamp it our. or they used to. now they tend to outsource it to lesser countries and collect their middle-man fee.

what you are talking about is short term pain that goes away in a year as the factory in china moves to a factory in india, and the supply cost of an iphone goes up. after that, it goes way down, because at this point, china is actually no longer cheap.

we don't need to 'disempower' china -who gives a crap about their power. we, 'the buyer' don't need to think about them, 'the seller.' we go to a different store, which results in short term supply costs, and long-term savings.

the power they have is they are a market. they can cut our companies out of that market. worked out great for the ussr. where i lived. we had 2 pulse dial phones. because no tone dial, and no call waiting. and no answering machine. in 1991. because the ussr closed that market to western companies.

let me ask you -how much do western companies care about that market, with chinese buying stuff from an american company, that was made in china? my wife is chinese. they don't buy it. they buy some local cheap fake ripoff. and the rich people who get that iphone? they'll still get it, as a status symbol, and either import it, or buy it overseas. apple still sold them one. except now it was made in india.

and short supply chains are not good. comparative advantage is good. a town that makes screws is good, and it makes them more efficiently, located near an iron mine. a town that makes glass is good -located near a lot of sand. shipping screws around from one large factory is a lot better than having to ship iron to fifty small screw factories, each of which is not running at optimal output, since demand varies. demand varies a lot less if you're making screws for 50 different industries, instead of for a microwave only. same reason mutual funds are a thing.

the reason china seems efficient is nine of the true cost is ever evident. it's all fake, it's all regulated by the government. chinese solar panels are a great example. cheap, not due to that efficient 'solar panel town.' because they lose money on each one.

instead of disempowering china, what we need is to focus on empowering ourselves for long-term cheaper stuff, and take that initial short-term hit on higher supply prices while we move production. and the tarrifs, the bans, and pissing off china with moves like in the article, so they start treating our companies like crap, is exactly the way to accomplish that. as far as our farmers selling their soybeans? demand goes down, plant something else.

I think the relationship of geography to salary is going to be dictated by the biggest factors in all pricing -- supply and demand. Cost of living adjustments are really just a proxy for acknowledging that a prospective remote worker in Des Moines will have fewer local opportunities (lower demand) than a similar worker in New York, and so will be in a less favorable negotiating position. If remote work continues to grow (thus making demand between geos more similar), the differences between locations will begin to diminish, of course.

I sometimes wonder if I worked for a company that was fixated on cost-of-living-based salaries, and I decided to move up to Aspen (high CoL, but low demand for software engineers) if I would get a commensurate increase in pay. I'm guessing probably not. ;)

This is awesome man, truly happy for ya.

Your comment isn't the first time I have heard this advice, "Find a small non tech company and get involved" however I have previously written this advice off for w/e reason.

I now find myself in search of a new opportunity and am very much like many other commenters in this thread, highly unsatisfied with "rat race" type jobs, and if I'm not happy I don't perform up to my ability well.

I'm actually very interested in exploring your path, possibility finding a small non tech company and seeing where/ if I could add value to their organization with my software development experience.

All my previous jobs have been found via standard software development job boards though, StackOverflow, LinkedIn, homegrown software job boards, etc. Do you have any advice on finding a small non tech company that might be looking to add a software developer to their ranks?

Honestly I'd love to chat with ya personally. If you're comfortable shoot me an email otherwise any incite here would be wonderful. Email in my Bio
Space telescopes are vastly superior to ground ones. There is no competition, imo the decreasing cost of launching will enable incredible telescopes in the future.
So you're saying you're going to rob the rich unless they give you their money?

How generous of you to give them a choice.

Yeah, I saw the Nubank folks present in person in NYC just prior to COVID. I am a Clojure fan, to be sure, and also a banking/money dweeb. Soup to nuts it was one of the most impressive presentations / achievements I have seen. They were clearly operating in the future. Congrats to both and looking forward to growing the community.

Plans to release a SAAS banking core in the US? Pretty please?
Only if their physical location is a condition of employment.
My wife works at our local science museum. It's very tough for them, even in good times a lot of museums scramble for funding. They were able to reopen for a few days and then shut down again. They did PPE loans so all of the employees still have jobs for now, but its hard to know what will happen in the next few months, and will they be able to generate enough revenue. They do summer camp programs and have been switching those to virtual but I'm not sure how much revenue that will generate. Additionally they are kind of scrambling now to get more online content. In addition to donations, memberships and admission they have gotten some grant money in the past as well. Maybe when there is some clarity about when and how they can operate they might get some more donation money from local companies or philanthropists but I think the issue is how do the hang onto their staff. I think they were hoping the PPE loan could get them through but now its not so clear that was the best choice for them.

I have a crappy model-or-two-old Asus Chromebox that runs Retroarch well and cost about as much as a Pi with trimmings back when I bought it new. Runs N64 just fine. 2GB RAM and a low-clocked dual-core Celeron. Actually with a RAM upgrade (doable) it’d make an Ok dev workstation if you avoid “webapps” and Electron and are comfortable with lighter editors rather than e.g. heavy Java IDEs, and can run your VMs and Dockers somewhere else. Admittedly a lot of caveats but would work for some people.
I'd rather just be able to mark an object as frozen, which we can already do.

This is the fallacy of modern tech-based capitalism and I hate it. The job that I enjoyed the least and where I also did the least amount of work was the best salary I ever had. The value that I added through that job was nominal at best.

Other jobs that paid less felt more challenging and exponentially more interesting. Needless to say that happiness was proportional as well.

I came to terms with the idea of lowering my salary just to have more impact and work in interesting things in cultures that I enjoy. But there's something that feels so wrong about it. Imagine a Corolla being more expensive than a Mercedes C Class. This is the equivalent to that but in the opposite side on the equation.

It doesn't make sense but there's probably little you can do about it. Big tech companies ruined the job market. Not because they pay well, but because they pay too well for mediocre IC and Manager positions that barely move the needle.
I’ve never seen DSL in the US with more than 2 or 3 Mbps.
During hiring, it makes lots of sense. A Kansas candidate could certainly accept a lower-paying job than an SF one. It makes less sense when you move while already employed, since the cost of re-hiring would greatly exceed the delta they might save. I guess it becomes a question then of are you willing to put your job on the line and demand the identical salary.

This is gold! I used to buy into the idea that small colleges were a better learning environment for students due to the increased interaction with professors (class sizes ~30 vs 300). However, with younger TA's leading discussion sections, I changed my mind. I've seen professors who totally didn't understand the conceptual problem a student was having because the professor had crossed that bridge 30 years ago and forgot about it.

Making the argument that is at least partially made for the entertainment of other terrorists doesn't strike me as outlandish. Personally I wouldn't make that argument though.

Regardless my point was just that in my experience many would consider them 'snuff' even if it doesn't meet the exact technical definition.
True, one of the disadvantages I was thinking of is truly high magnitude lows and low highs. The scale would reasonably go from -100 to +15. It would be a universally familiar 0 point. I do agree that water freezing is a very practical point or reference if there's ever been one.

That seems like a pretty bad criteria for a list like this, because it's heavily biased towards "flashes in the pan" and exudes "steady fires."

They should have probably used a "total" metric or at least augmented the list based on it. I think something like total airplay or total sales in the 5 years after release would have caught many of the songs people thing they should have included.
