Open source is going to be used to co-opt people into service contracts. For example one product I use right now. If you use it in a very particular way you do not have to pay much if at all to use it. But if you get out of that lane you need to goto the 'service contract' route. I am not talking 10 dollars a month either. I am talking 1-3k per machine. These things almost all want clusters. So usually at least 3. If you are using that level you probably will want at least 2 areas (dev, prod), more if you are doing it 'right'. So now your 'free' stuff just went sideways and now costs 200k+ just to get the software, per year. Oh but just use AWS/Azure/Google you say, add even more to that cost as they bury it in their usage fees. Then on top of that you need to develop your own programs.

I predict the open source bits will be bait. With many 90% solutions. The proprietary bits will be the ones you need to make it work like a real program. Oh there will still be soup to nuts full on free stacks. But I seeing more and more of this service fee way.

As for making hiring easier? Not so much. When you can get 100+ applicants for 1 position. The reality is at least 99 of those have to go away. One more filter does not do much other than let you round bin things faster say 'cant find anyone' then grab your favorite contracting firm and hire them anyway.

That isn't what characterises a free market though. A free market is one where the price is set by participants without special regulatory powers. I'm not sure about the SNBs specific mechanisms; but the central banks typically stand up and announce what price the market will discover +- some error bands they think are reasonable.

It is a bit of a leap to call that a free market. The price discovery is going to discover roughly the price that was announced. I mean, it isn't like the "free market" is going to head off to 2% while the SNB says the interest rate is going to be -0.8%. The correlation between committee announcements and actual rates seem pretty high [0].

In a fairly literal sense that isn't a free market. The outcome of the market is being fixed.

Honestly, I don't think that will happen. Both firejail and bwrap are not exactly secure (if you have suid bwrap installed, you get local root exploit every year) and the "jails" especially as utilized with bwrap using flatpaks are nothing like FreeBSD jails and firejail uses traditionally whitelists, not blacklists (which I think is better suited for desktop) but that just shows that most users do not want full jails for desktop, which makes sense afterall.
You have only one irreplaceable resource: your time. You care more about that resource than any employer ever will. They pay for your time and figure that's enough. (It's like that everywhere, not just at sili valley's wealthy behemoths.)

So, use your time wisely.

If you finish your week's work by Tuesday midmorning, spend the rest of your week doing something worth YOUR time. Treat this situation as an opportunity, not a curse.

You could be learning something. You could be prototyping an improvement to some aspect of your employer's software suite. You could be writing tutorials, or even books, on how to do something interesting to you. (How do you think all those O'Reilly books get written?) You might do a side hustle of some kind. It's probably not doom-scrolling.

Before you start doing that, of course, double check that you're meeting your job expectations, and that you're not stumbling into the Dunning-Kruger effect in your job.

Not particularly strongly.

Salary is correlated with market demand and alternatives, both for the company and the employee.

For example, I know engineers who are some of the most valuable people in the company, and some engineers who are borderline useless. You can be borderline useless but good at self promotion / good at negotiation and be paid a lot more than very valuable eng. fwiw, I'm on the business side of the house, but used to be an engineer. So I think primarily in terms of business value.

Or think of CSMs. They get paid a lot less, on average, than engineers. Are they less valuable / do they create less value? It's quite hard to make that argument: No CSMs, no customers and no upsells.
Adding my experience on Quora. In general quality of the questions and answers are pretty bad. In my feed most of the popular answers start with some provocative/eye-grabbing pictures (exotic animals, landscapes, outrageously good looking people).

Sometimes I feel like I'm reading ads about spammy media sites, who use the same tactics.

> Baptizing the dead seems silly and quaint, but Christians used to ask, how is it fair to send the unbaptized to hell that never had a chance to be saved? Mormons should get some credit for acknowledging the unfairness and coming up with a "solution".

Mormons were hardly the first Christian or Christian-adjacent group to come up with a solution to that, though perhaps one of the earlier groups to adopt a single solution as a firm doctrine rather than leaving the question doctrinally open with multiple possible solutions proposed and not condemned by authority.

I am a big fan of ripgrep. I think the tool is great for quick simple searches.
On larger data sets with sufficiently complicated regex patterns the performance gap is small. I have also encountered situations using rg on med-large datasets where the files may contain Unicode, regular expressions, random garbage... and rg failed. I don't recall a situation like this where the error handling in grep didn't recover and move on to the next file.

Here is an example showing the performance gap to be small using (enwiki-20200401-pages-articles-multistream.xml 72G) split into 24 files on a ramdisk.

Which politics neglected the issue? On an almost daily basis I hear a new statement like "UK will ban all petrol and diesel cars by 2035" [1].

> "You would never matrix multiply an image onto another vector."

That wasn't me. But I can still elaborate: while you can certainly consider a non-color image as a matrix, the operation of multiplying this matrix with a vector is rather meaningless.

While a lot of things can be made into or viewed as matrices, a matrix is typically only meaningful as a representation of a linear map.

Psychological attacks, amazing! I'm guessing you are one of those deeply insecure symbol twiddlers.

Of course this is pedantic and while I don't like Quota at all, I don't think it is up to us to judge what people may find useful (this depends very much on things like circumstances, age, mental capacity etc). What you might find trivial or even silly, might be an eye opener to someone else.

Quota is certainly not the best environment to get good qualified answers, but that doesn't mean you won't find one once in a while.
For all the big companies like ATT, Comcast, their internet prices are based only on how much of a monopoly they have in the local area. When a qualified competitor moves in (if they are even able to after well-funded resistance from the big company) prices become much more competitive. Or at least that's what I've heard many anecdotes of on the internet. Paying $140 for 300/25 internet + TV in Chicago, $10 difference between the 100/200/300/600/gigabit tiers.

For several times, I left a comfortable job for an adventure, and ended up wasting months (sometimes years) for no outcome actually.

If I only had an answer for this; how would we convince ourselves to not do more than we can and be satisfied with the reward of getting relatively better paid than the market ?

And what is out there outside the job that can fill the gap of doing nothing 40 hours a week for whole life ? Traveling the world ? Check. Getting scuba diving licenses? Check. Pottery workshops ? Check.

What would we head towards while getting used to the comfort of thick paychecks and not really growing on the other hand ? It feels like we're not in charge of our lives in that case and something can come up and take what we're given by those comfortable jobs. Isn't that a concern for anybody else ?

> The film suggests workers have become liabilities not assets. Workers are costs that can be cut when needed

Makes sense to me. Most of the value creation in big companies has already happened, so majority of current employees are cost centers.

It also seems like most companies are one-trick ponies, despite what they would have you believe (I.e. Google still heavily relies on ad revenue despite having a billion other products), so they could probably cut a lot of workers and retain most of the value of their company.
This time the same is not going to happen because the plague killed ~50% of the population in Europe over a four year period, while covid won't kill even 1%, with most of the covid deaths being among retirees.

If 50% of working age people died, both wages and automation would increase.

> We're in strange times if you can't call a flat-earther an idiot and a moron. What's next, I can't call a Nazi a piece of shit?

The context here is someone being banned from a platform for violating their requirement that posters be polite on their platform. This isn't a "sign of the times," nor does it conflate to some greater societal or cultural shift, or have any implications on mores, values or free speech. No one is saying you can't call flat earthers idiots or Nazis pieces of shit in general.

If Quora requires you to be polite when giving answers to questions, they're well within their rights to boot you if you aren't, regardless of how justified it might be.

Cool!

Please use this technology to make a 4K video of an infinite zoom through the art.

i.e. generate an image frame, zoom in 1% near the center of the image, re-anneal the art to fill in missing resolution, repeat.

It would be analogous to the infinite exploration of the Mandelbrot fractal set.

It might help us intuit the black box of the algorithm as well if it reaches some periodic local minima and keeps reproducing the same art sequence.

Nor surprising at all. It took me 9 months to get a 3 line code change into production once at Amazon. This was more than 20 years ago. It was not the only thing I was doing those 9 months though. But these periods were interspersed with nightmarish forced marches lasting six months or more. There was one instance when I spent 7 straight days in the office, 28 hours of which were in a continuous coding session. (VERY BAD IDEA btw) So, both things happen. It's corporate life. Just make sure you get enough of both kinds of experiences or you will either burn out or get bored and leave.

Creating a Simple Custom Hook in React App
It's especially important at a big corporation to actively take responsibility for your career, and ask your manager about what will affect your career. For a talented young software engineer, this may seem fundamentally uninteresting, and you may moreover feel humbled by the sheer amount of money they are throwing at you, so it is easier to avoid this task — and in any case you may be able to coast for a long time if they recognize your talent. Eventually, though, you will run into a situation where your talent and their evaluation of your talent diverge, and you may be blindsided by this, and even if you aren't you will need to make a real effort to realign those.

No one seems to train for this sort of career-self-management explicitly, and most engineering managers are actually not all that experienced or good at managing people. Many will try to make things more comfortable for themselves by being less confrontational and downplaying the negative things which will come back to hurt you later. As such, you should work to combat these anti-patterns, asking your manager on a regular basis questions like these:

- What are the company's objectives and goals for me if I am to remain in my current position? Am I meeting these objectives?

- How about if I want to advance in the company? Am I making progress on these objectives?

- Is there any feedback which I need to take into account which will affect my performance review?

- I have responded to earlier feedback; has my response been satisfactory?

Go over all of these regularly, especially the question of feedback (feedback is much more actionable if it's timely). When you're done, summarize to your manager what you heard, and your sentiment analysis of that. "It sounds like everything is on track for now without the need to make major changes, and I can expect a timely promotion; is this right?"

Take notes every time, noting the date. (They don't have to be long.) Keep the notes organized in one location.
>Evaluation must be separate from dissemination.

Evaluation is inevitably linked to dissemination. We cannot evaluate what we have not received, yet we are now receiving too much to effectively evaluate.

And then there is the matter of bias - once an idea has been repeated enough times it takes hold, regardless of rationality.

>the dissemination of deliberate misinformation and lies, and the difficulty and _high cost_ of navigating this ecosystem.

Isn't this distinction arbitrary? To an observer, the intention of the messenger is opaque. Deliberate lies and innocent misinformation arrives together for us to evaluate. Dealing with it at the source introduces a variety of problems in our current model, and judging intent with regards to speech is problematic.
I think six hours is pretty good for what is a rather large task?
I totally understand...

I think there could be solutions, like:

- proposing bundles formation + test(1), of course much more expensive than just test, but allowing access to a broader range of tests.

- new job description, "medical teacher for citizens", giving (possibly customized) formations to people (and documents certifying they passed), and then these certificates would be useful later to know which patients already understand which aspects of medicine.

I think that would make nice ideas for startups, and I for one would be a customer.

As for the "emotional" aspect, when receiving shocking news, I don't think that withholding information is a solution, quite to the contrary. In a lot of cases, people don't feel well and imagine the worse, but they actually are fine. Other people feel good and actually are very sick. If an information leads to bad diagnostics, they should know, because if not now it would be required later anyway. If the information does not lead to a 100% accurate diagnostic, just quickly get sure that your patient understands basic stats/probas, and then explain to them why the diagnostic cannot be certain and why some benefit/risk trade-off holds.

Any of the "formations" evoked above could include some lesson on how to deal with bad news about oneself.

(1) of course I mean "medical test" here, like the ones to guide diagnostics, not "knowledge test", although these too would be useful at the end of the formation.

PS: the 15 min/patient thing is a huge PITA, so maybe my ideas are doable only in private clinics. Even the "medical teacher for citizens" is completely outside of what is done (currently) in public health.
