You are assuming that FAANG companies are offering "fair" compensation for the output of their engineers. How would anyone ever make a profit doing that?

Employees are very rarely the exploiters and almost always the exploited.
Romantic nonsense.

> They work in a field famous for people deriving immense satisfaction from their job

Do they?

Not saying you're wrong, I'm really asking. It's not my perception that FAANG software devs have high satisfaction--more often the impression I have from talking to FAANG devs is that they feel trapped in golden handcuffs. But I'm open to the possibility that someone has better evidence than me.
> This feels like bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the sudden shift towards remote only work.

This isn't a super new thing, though. There have been a number of companies in the past 5-10 years that offered similar functionality without the hook of having a separate device (Sqwiggle, pukkateam, sneek, etc).
Whoa that's a super cool setup, and one I haven't seen before. I'd love to learn more if you have a writeup anywhere?

Then maybe they are at least partly aware, that it is mythology and not real.
Maintaining societal cohesion is the justification for a great many of PRC's actions (I would say 'evils', but that's my judgement), including the Great Firewall, extermination of Uyghurs, etc. It is fundamentally a waste of time to compare that society to America's melting pot on the level we're discussing.

> These vapid online brawls have engaged millions more people to vote who never would have voted in the past.

Voter turnout in presidential elections is the same as it has been for 50 years at least. Voter turnout in the most recent midterm spiked a crazy amount, but I'm not willing to credit social media so much as a natural reaction to the extremism of the current administration. Which sources are you using that I missed?
>If republicans view the crisis as "government forcing businesses to close"

Isn't that an entirely roundabout approach to viewing the issue though? They are targeting the treatment rather than the cause. And because the treatment being the problem in their eyes, they don't adhere to it, making the problem worse. It's like getting a 3 month treatment of anti-biotics, taking 2 pills, throwing the rest away and saying that anti-biotics don't work.
Reference?

I don't see us as having created a representative democracy to protect democracy from the masses. I like to think we are a representative democracy because the masses are supposed to have better things to do than keep the lights of government on.

However, this seems like it's covered by

> Also, the Inuit have changed a lot recently as they get influenced by European culture (but NPR did their interview with Inuit this year, who talk as if they're describing the present).

Granted I'm sure you'd find this far too lenient in terms of phrasing, something more like "Traditional Inuit culture was both destroyed by what was effectively Western cultural and actual imperialism and retroactively viewed and criticized through a warped Western lens."

But the basic essence of that is still addressed by Scott's comment. It may not be the way things used to be, and it may not be the "fault" of the Inuits at all, nor may it even be the right perspective to view Inuit culture.

Nonetheless the empirical observations made in this article seem to be in direct opposition to multiple other sources of data we have. That seems bad. More specifically it suggests the article is suffering greatly from selection bias and its conclusions are therefore suspect.
I've had some very enjoyable periods of time across various programming jobs, but it's far from the norm. I know plenty of folks who tolerate their jobs, are okay with them. But actually love their jobs most of the time? No way.
If half of all software engineers suddenly died, the remaining software engineers would be able to negotiate higher salaries. But they wouldn't be adding any more value to any given company than they were previously. Conversely, if a spaceship landed with 10 million highly capable software engineers, we'd all be on minimum wage. It doesn't matter how much value you generate. If there are hundreds of other people who could do your job equally well, then you won't be able to negotiate a good salary.

But it's cute that serfs under the yoke of capitalist exploitation think that they are being paid in proportion to the value they generate!

wikipedia.org is penalized on HN the same way that most major media sites are. We took the penalty off a while back, but had to put it back on because there were too many generic submissions: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Wikipedia submissions are ok when the topic is obscure and there isn't any other good third party article to submit. They're bad when the topic is generic or well-covered. Wikipedia itself is already a generic site, and the combination of generic site and generic topic leads to low-quality discussion: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... But when the topic is unpredictable and mostly unheard-of, such submissions can be quite good.

In this case a bit of googling revealed a 1998 article that hasn't been discussed on HN before, so I've changed the URL to that from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework. Any other good non-obvious article would have done as well; people will probably mostly comment on RDF and the semantic web in general.

I really found the Manager Tools podcasts on feedback very helpful https://manager-tools.com/2005/07/giving-effective-feedback

It's not about berating anyone. It's about constant subtle modifications. They compare it to driving a car. Even if you're on a completely straight road, you can't just keep your hands off the wheel and expect the car to continue going straight. You provide regular nudges to keep the car on the road.

Maybe this analogy doesn't hold up that well anymore with auto-correcting cars :)

I think your concern about not providing stronger feedback is valid. Highly recommend the series of podcasts they have around this topic. You'll think about feedback in a much different fashion.
> I think the idea is we need diversity in online social media. I'd like to see human editors come back.

People have tried. Either highly-moderated networks or "middle of the line" media. Other than a few exceptions (Real Clear Politics comes to mind), they've all failed. It's unfortunately clear that people don't want this.
> Can you provide any google search terms (or a link) where I can read more about this? (e.g. a name of what they are marked with)

The term I know related to this is "methylation". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_methylation . I don't know all that much about it; I would not want to claim that methylation is the only such mechanism, or that this is the only information expressed by DNA methylation.

> I thought that there was a process by which portions of the two copies of a chromosome get switched between the two. Is that right? How does that fit together with these markings?

Yes, that's correct. "Crossing over" does not occur during ordinary cell division ("mitosis"), in which one of your cells divides into two of your cells -- your chromosomes should stay the same (except for new mutations) through your life.

But it does occur during meiosis, the process by which one of your cells divides into four sperm or four eggs (these are "gametes", and in terms of chromosome content they are only half-cells, not full cells). Your children's chromosomes may therefore differ from yours.

So the interaction between parental marking and crossing over would broadly look like:

1. You are going to produce four gametes.

2. Remove the parental marking (indicating the sex of the gamete's grandparent) from the cell undergoing meiosis.

3. Do the crossing over.

4. Apply parental marking indicating your own sex (the gamete's parent, rather than grandparent).

5. Divide into four cells.

I don't actually know where the unmarking and remarking occur in the process; maybe reality is more like 2435, or 3254. But both crossing over and applying correct parental marking are part of meiosis -- since meiosis produces a cell that belongs to your child rather than a cell that belongs to you, it's easy to know what kind of marking should be applied.
>they're almost identical to everyone else's

Do you really believe this argument? It seems like a strange one to make. Our genes are almost entirely identical, so why worry about diversity, then?

Besides, people like you will, all else being equal, surely get outbred by people who do care about their progeny. So why worry? The tendency to hold your point of view will wipe itself out...
Honestly all I see is upside for the business.
“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."

"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"

"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."

"I did," said Ford. "It is."

"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"

"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."

"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"

"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."

"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"

"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in."
>If USN carrier group must sail to help Taiwan in short notice and huge fleet of these ships just happen to stand in the way, then what? It's huge risk just to just assume that they are unarmed and sail trough, or that they have not mined the area.

Sounds like they're using civilian ships as human shields or cannon fodder to me. What's the legality of this? I feel like this would run afoul of some sort of international law requiring combatants to be identified[1], or preventing them from using civilians as human shields[2]. Can

I disagree that people are not doing those things now or that this has changed at all. We have a decade of yearly Clojure surveys that show people continue to do all those things (and lots more).

Most (70-80%) of Clojure developers work on web apps because most programmers work on web apps.

People that like Clojure use it for everything you can think of and I expect them to keep doing so.

You don't just need hand tools, but also materials, space to work and the wherewithal to do some woodwork. I agree, it's better to do something right the first time, but I don't think it's wise to let constraints like this get in the way of starting & finishing an exciting project for fun.

At the end of the day, even with cardboard, you'll still have a working videogame setup, as well as some new, transferable skills (even if woodworking isn't one of them).

I guess what I'm saying is, it doesn't have to be about the thing lasting longer than a month, it's about the process, what you learned along the way, getting something completed and the feelings of accomplishment that go with them.
The story is about how a specific technology doesn't move the needle much, not about where the needle started off at.

There absolutely is. There are PCIe cards you can plugin and use them as accelerators, just like you would use a GPU. Of course programming them to do the task you want is harder, but it can do anything. Saw a great example where someone implemented memcached on a single FPGA plugin and replaced many Xeons with it.

Undoubtedly. The US isn't one of those places, however—and the the mandate for clothing hasn't led to a descent into authoritarianism, either.
Nice!

Sometimes I wish we had a basic "algorithms" language that was used absolutely everywhere, and every book everywhere teaching another language would assume the person knows how to program using the basic language and then teach the new language as a diff of the basic one.

Why do I say this? Because as someone who is versed in quite a few languages, I find the signal to ratio of these texts to be uncomfortable. For example, I know C really well, so the explanations of integer sizes are irrelevant, I know what is shadowing, etc., but the explanation of the return statements is really useful, the variable declaration is interesting, so I keep having paragraphs I can skip followed by paragraphs I have to read, followed by paragraphs I can skip, etc. I get tired quickly when reading like this.
> You also don't have to succumb to the "starving Ethiopians" fallacy and take whatever crap job is given.

That’s very true, but there’s also the reality check that the job market has a lot of uncertainty right now. We tech people tend to have pretty good career mobility, but if the market contracts badly enough, it really may come down to taking whatever job you can get. Which as much as it sucks it’s what a lot of people have to do to put food on the table. The OP seems to be lacking motivation. Maybe the prospect of being jobless and without health insurance can be its own motivation ;).

I do agree with your point though, which I think is don’t just take what’s being given to you, do something about it. I think that’s also a version of what the parent comment was getting at (you don’t have to do little work just because management sets the bar low). And like someone else said on this thread, taking action may be extra important now. These low-output teams and employees are at a higher risk if the company decides to trim the fat.
Unfortunately, I think that the best answer might be "vote for people who support your beliefs, even if/though they are guaranteed not to win, until one of the two major parties begins to adopt those people's positions in an attempt to attract your votes"

Unsatisfying answer and I'm not sure it's guaranteed or even likely to produce results in your lifetime but until we get rid of FPTP voting it's the only real answer

I built a MAME machine for a group summer house about 6 years ago and probably went WAY overboard, but man was it fun.

You should probably qualify that as current generation. There's plenty of last gen Intel and AMD solutions with onboard dedicated graphics.

yikes, this is painful to read.

the power software engineers wield is almost unfair, compared to non-software laborers - there's unlimited ways in which to get paid fairly well, ridiculously easy lifestyle, and also work on tech that aligns with doing good in the world, generally speaking. one can't have it all at the same time... but with software, you can probably have one of the largest spreads of [mission, comfortable income, low stress, {fill in with your requirement}] out of lots of other jobs.

The OP gives an example:

> In the South China Sea, the Spratly Islands have attracted most attention as the Chinese government has built artificial islands on reefs and shoals in these waters, militarizing them with aircraft strips, harbours and radar facilities. Chinese fishing boats bolster the effort by swarming the zone, intimidating potential competitors, as they did in 2018, suddenly dispatching more than 90 fishing ships to drop anchor within several miles of Philippines-held Thitu Island, immediately after Manila began modest upgrades on the island's infrastructure.
