Perhaps another way to look at it would be that, as the quality of computers has increased, the total number of computers being made worldwide has also massively increased.

If we treat each computer made in the US today as equivalent to a thousand 1980s computers, then I'd hope to see the weighted data show that US manufacturing has massively increased as a result of making an exponentially larger number of exponentially faster computers. Rather than seeing it stagnate despite weighting each computer as worth so many old computers.
There used to be a dollar sign right next to the paper clip sign you use to attach files, but it attaches money instead. Genius. But I would ask other American friends to send me money that way instead of venmo and they would tell me they don't have that option available to them. Once I would send them 5 cents, then they would get the money attach option, but not before.
> Comparing manufacturing output between time periods doesn't make a lot sense. How many 1980s mainframes equals one iPhone? It's a woefully incomplete question if you goal is to reason about economic value/output.

I believe that was the point of the "share-of-real-GDP" adjustments. Because "prices of manufactured goods have gone up more slowly than those of other goods and services (think health care), Baily and Bosworth reasoned that manufacturing's shrinking share of nominal GDP understates its continuing impact on the economy."

Apparently there is a decent way, at least in principle, to compare mainframes to iPhones; that is, to compare their contributions to improved productivity independent of nominal prices. But it breaks down over longer time scales unless you can plugin real numbers for changes in relative value-add across entire industries, which in this case isn't possible because the trick was used to adjust industries in the aggregate by assuming a constant ratio of value-add.

I'm a bit of a Casio watch collector; I think the count is currently about 10. Three of them are variations on the F91W, including the metal-banded A158W. I also have several MQ24's (analog face, ~$10). There's an F91W that has a "gold" case too, for just a couple dollars more.

If you watch Napoleon Dynamite closely, you'll note that Napoleon has an F91W, but his "classy" uncle has an A158W. It was funny to someone like me.
Didn't CF just announce they have reduced cold starts to sub 1ms?

Also, compared to the 10+ seconds I've experienced with Google I'd be happy with 5ms any time. :)
> I'm really not following Warren's reasoning here.
First of all, with two incomes, if one person loses a job, you still have cash coming in. On average, the drop is from 100% of normal cash flow to 50% of normal. With one income it is from from 100% to 0%. Yes, the other spouse can get a job, but that takes time, maybe days, maybe months.

The general crux of Warren's argument, is that the fixed costs incurred by the necessity of women working is so large that it basically made household income a zero sum game.

Previously, one person made income Y, and if the breadwinner became unable to work then they made some amount close to or smaller than Y.

Today, two people each make X, and also have to pay childcare and additional commuting or other expenses of Z every day.

Warren's assertion is that overall, today 2X-Z <= Y, because women increased the labor supply so much that wages were suppressed; so that Y for one person eventually became X for two people in a household. Depending on how bad the decline is, X may be a lot worse than a new, untrained wife making less than Y.

Apple no more needs the modem business to be a separate revenue stream than it needs it’s existing processor design team to generate revenue. It will save a lot of money and be able to get from under Qualcomm’s licensing.

Why would it need Qualcomm’s executives? Apple has plenty of leaders on its chip design team with a proven track record of designing processors.
> Assuming things about me

Off to a great start there, champ.

> Huge TV

Just like with air travel, TV:s have gotten larger and cheaper for a long, long time before data harvesting even existed as a factor. Yes, the price of TV:s are continuing to drop. Mostly because of cheaper panels. Of course manufacturers claim that TV:s would be unsellably expensive without telemetry, but then again, they make lots of money off it and "cheap" is a neat way to justify that.

Current prices might've taken a bit longer to reach without telemetry - although the latest most significant price drops occurred a decade ago or more, well before spy TV:s were baseline models.

Today, you can buy a 32" monitor for $200, and they've not yet begun spying on us. For pure screen real estate, yes, it costs more than a 55" model. But is it "expensive"? Heck, would it be "expensive" if it was a 28" CRT, like the one my current LCD TV replaced a decade ago?

Sacrificing privacy for constant upgrades to something bigger and ostensibly better is, to reply in kind, if anything a kind of wealth blindness: What could possibly go wrong to anyone who owns a 55 inch TV?

Work on your mental health first. Changing careers itself is stressful. Your code doesn't have to be pretty, you can use it as fuel for a hobby you actually enjoy doing after work/weekends. It could be photography, plastic model building, racing cars at track days, tennis, golf, etc.

The key there is also to join the communities to engage and learn, along with getting outside.
Almost all large, modern, public businesses are engaged in a pump and dump scheme where no one making decisions has any intention of being around for these last phases of corporate decay and death. It seems nuts to us from the outside and is super damaging to the long-term interests we all have in the US but this is taught in business school and is in fact the right business decision for these people to make given the context and sociopathic motivations they operate under.

> convincing passengers it's safe enough

This is a pretty tough problem, different than self-driving cars because people see driving as something easy, but flying is seen as hard (just look at the difference in training and salary between a bus driver and a commercial pilot). Trained pilots/meat-computers will soon be worse than an automated system 99.99% of the time, but in those strange 0.01% corner cases the meat-computer really shines. There are several cases like Flight 214 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214) that computers would have helped, but there's still a few "Miracle on the Hudson" that any computer short of a general AI would have botched (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549). It will take a lot of work to get to where people will accept an automated flight without a safety pilot on board, and if you have to pay a safety pilot to ride along, you aren't saving as much money.

> even if the airline passed the cost savings onto me

HA! Like that will happen. The only time that airlines "pass on cost savings" to the customer is when a low cost carrier starts offering service for the same route.

Douglas Adams wrote about his experience swimming with Manta Rays in an article which is, to me, amongst his best bits of writing (https://douglasadams.com/dna/980707-08-a.html).

As a kid living on a boat on the east coast of Australia I have some happy memories of watching manta rays feed at the surface nearby. Happy once I'd realised that the wing tips silently breaking the surface weren't shark fins. They really do move absurdly gracefully, unlike anything else I've ever seen in the ocean.

Yup. I just commented above to someone, saying their accounting BA before switching to CS was a waste of time. Too bad they feel that way. Opportunities for that combination have never been brighter. Enormous niches in debt and banking are in the midst of a wholesale tech transformation.
Hi, thanks letting me know. I'll make sure to add that feature in ASAP. Appreciate it.
Deindustrialization is great, most industrial jobs are the worst. To the extent other countries want to take them on, it puts America at a huge advantage. Once robotization and full automation happen, there will be no reason to build in one place over another, and all the assembly work will return (as not having to expend energy moving final products from their assembly location to their final destinations will represent an advantage).

The jobs never will though, nor do we actually want them to. This is why we need UBI.

Seriously, why would we want, in the future, to pay people to smack metal with a hammer? Let's get the jobs elsewhere ASAP, unless you can tell me with a straight face the future will involve more humans in the manufacture of goods -- in which case we should be getting a head start. Nobody will say that though because it's crazy.

Trying to add humans back to the manufacturing process, who don't need to be there, amounts to a regressive make-work project we're engaging in, intentionally adding inefficiency, instead of actually changing society and positioning ourselves for the inescapable future of humanity. In my opinion, America is squandering a huge lead by glamorizing crap jobs nobody actually needs to do, let alone wants. Like coal mining.

So what you're saying is that tech savvy people just don't like Google? Maybe it's because of the slow drop in quality of their search engine, their tendency to cancel projects that people relied on, and their questionable privacy practices? At least, that's why I don't like them. And that's not even mentioning the pit of conspiracy theory peddling, pedophile supporting nastiness that is Youtube.
Lots of good advice in here, my piece of advice is just to make sure you cater that resume to the job you are looking for. As others have pointed out you have gained skills during your work that can easily apply to other areas, so you just need to showcase that on paper and in the interview.

Unfortunately I’m sort of in the opposite boat, I don’t know how to code and have never successful pushed myself to learn much. A previous instructor told me “maybe you just like the idea of it”.
That sounds great in theory, don't prosecute victims of crimes. The govt. must go after these people, regardless of victimization. Yet if the victim encourages more dangerous actions and the 'victim' was a billion dollar corporation they can afford it. It shouldn't be legal to pay off mafia threats, and that's what this basically is.

Who is the victim in prostitution (where no one was trafficed), how about if I buy pot, who is the victim where it's illegal? That theoretical vision of how you want society to work is not matched by the reality of the US.
I don’t have a dog in the fight, I don’t choose Gmail or Outlook. But if I were to play devil’s advocate, I think I would argue Outlook is better on the grounds that Microsoft is not an advertising company. As a company, they don’t depend on distributing free software to folks who are willing to, or maybe ignorant they are trading their personal privacy in exchange.

No doubt Microsoft is trying to monetize user data at this point as well, but their empire isn’t built on top of it. The parent comment said they use ProtonMail for personal, So I suspect they only reason they don’t choose that for business also is the weight the Microsoft name still holds.

Many of us got sucked into the Google vortex a while back on the basis they gave us many of the best software options, in many categories. But at this point, there is nothing Google does that you can’t find an alternative of equal or better quality. So if one day a person realizes Google values don’t align with their own, slowly phasing out all Google services can only have a net positive.

It was my comment that described it as gaslighting. I think it's a reasonable use of the term when in the thread the mod says it's partially your fault you can no longer see the size of a folder, the way you have been accustomed to doing for the last 30 years.

"Well, a big part of the problem is how few people actually follow through with requests using the mechanism."

No, Google, I think a big part of the problem is that you didn't implement a feature that has been a staple of computers for decades.

I had the privilege of diving with Manta Rays in Hawaii a few years ago. They come to a specific bay to feed on plankton each night.

Seeing these 1000 pound animals glide through the water so peacefully was surreal. In some cases they came just a few feet from us which was somewhat terrifying as they really are massive. We had to sit down and hold onto rocks on the ocean floor. They are harmless but could easily injure someone accidentally due to sheer size.
It would be nice to see the distribution behind the numbers alongside the actual "survive/perish" graph.

Yea, I completely understand what you're talking about. There's many "solutions" because sometimes there's no real solution. In practice and in an interview, often times it's about a dialogue and aligning with an approach and assumptions.

My implementation of having 1 solution isn't good enough. I plan on adding a discussion forum to discuss these exact topics.

While certainly not as cheap, the Casio Wave Ceptor watches have great utility. My favorite travel watch is the WVA-M640-1AJF. It is always accurate, always charged, and allows me to quickly see what time it is in another time zone. Before I bought it, I forgot that there were watches focused on function over form. Don't get me wrong, I love a good looking watch, but sometimes you want a tool over an art piece.
If you like the F91w but want something beefier, the DW5600 has the cachet of being rated space-worthy by NASA and looks similar but bigger. Costs about $50, not $12 though.

I think simplest rule for remembering what debit and credit mean is that "debit" means "deposit/indebted" and "credit" means "to give someone credit".

Thus for an account debits means increases in the amount held by the account and credits mean decreases. Because it is Double Entry an increase somewhere is always a decrease somewhere else. When we deposit an amount to an account we must also credit another account which tracks where that amount came from.

I prefer to think of it as if every account had a person who is in charge of that account. If money comes out of the account we give "credit" to the person in charge of that account. And when we deposit to an account we debit it, in other words the person in charge of the account becomes "INDEBTED" by that amount.

Entirely too short summary: Use PCI to discover the various devices attached to the CPU. One or more of them are AHCI or NVMe devices. The AHCI and NVMe standards each describe sets of memory-mapped configuration registers and DMA engines. Eventually, you get to a point where you can describe linked lists of transactions to be executed that are semantically similar to preadv, pwritev, and so on.
