Definitely not. Let me put things in perspective.
There are two types of companies, Company A - statisticians working as Data scientists, good engineers deploying models in production.

Company B - have no clue what ML or AI is and feeling the heat. They could be a multi million dollar company or a small SMB.

You will always find both these A & B atleast until ml and AI is well democratised. It is not, not even close. We are at the early stage of the curve still, but moving forward there will be rapid growth in the next 5-8years.

You have few options:
1. Start with sql. It’s not hard, join as an analyst and learn to code. Make sure the team or product you join deploys models.
2. Learn basic python and some orchestration tools (airflow, spark or aws/azure equivalent) . Join as data engineer along with basic sql skills.
Most definitely not. It’s just that the focus is perhaps more on domain expertise and the production-side of things these days, rather than manually putting Tensorflow models together, which might give the impression that every problem has already been “solved”.
Sorry to hear this. I've heard that one of the small numbers of things that causes chronic unhappiness is long commute according to research
When you have put the economy into the deep freezer for the better part of a year and consequently committed to paying everyone their wages (or more) for that year, things become desperate enough that you have to contemplate things like this. Of course a lot of people will just give up on remote work and return to the status quo, and then of course, to save the environment, these very same people will be taxed more! There's no winning either way, it seems!
Back at Uni I used joe because I was used to WordStar (DOS).

On one of my early jobs I had to telnet to an AIX machine to do some work and, of course, joe was not installed and vi was.

I had almost no idea on how to use it, and by the end of that project I had decided that I needed some vi skills!
Im no Psychiatrist but your description sounds like derealization which amongst other things is a symptom of depression. I would recommend consulting your doctor about this.

Disposable items should be one of our most wanted enemies. What about reusable cups like mugs? You should then be expected to BYOC everywhere. Yes that would mean a lot of education and changes of mentallities and that's not going to happen anytime soon unless we pass laws for that kind of thing. And we totally should, IMHO.

Unpopular opinion follows.

Apparently Patrick Wardle describes a security hole, which uses the NetworkExtension framework to make it as if his code is Apple code, and thus ignores the firewall rules. My guess is, that it'll get patched and that will be that.

If you think about it, blocking OS stuff makes less sense. You're already trusting the OS to a great degree.

(I can understand the need for most people to control the OS to a great degree, but personally I don't feel that need for macOS, which is my workhorse.)
The stock market is not the economy, and even how it is correlated to accounting reality is debatable.
Man that is a crazy story. Congratulations on the English, wouldn't second-guess your fluency one bit. But I don't understand how you went through some social catastrophes and still manage to level-up in the rest of your life so well? Please allow me more vague details or in private for such an amazing turnaround.

The reason I ask is because I have been struggling with socializing my whole life. While not autistic, I have lots of shyness and anxiety ever since I was a kid, got a bit bullied in high school, cared too much about what other people thought. Even in my early 30s now this is still a huge problem, because I have become a pretty avoidant person and other people perceive this as lack of initiative, bad work ethic, etc. I also wake up every day replaying any 1 of 100s of bad social experiences in the past, where I said something I shouldn't have impulsively and made things embarassing or awkward, or how I mishandled some friendship.

So its as if I base my whole identity off how well I'm maintaining my personal relationships, literally rewrite Whatsapp messages the more I am not close with someone (should I end the sentence with a period or 'lol'? Is the frequency of these emojis too much? Yeah its that extreme).

When I read your comment, I just get the impression that though you lost all of it, you were able to somehow transform yourself after. How?! If I were in your shoes, I would literally be watching YouTube videos about social skills, and think that "if I can't get this social thing down, I'll never be able to survive at a job". Please break my brain.
It probably happens more in America than elsewhere in the world. Simply because Americans probably spend more of their lives inside a car than people from other countries.
That doesn't sound like a very safe protocol to follow considering the max dose in a controlled environment for depression treatment is 1mg/kg.
It is amazing you manage to read this all into my post. Of course life is hard for many people in the world, but things are getting better every year for the average person. This seems to not include the average HN poster who seems to be caught in a depressed funk.
Last year: moved to PNW for a high paying job after participating in a mass exodus from a failed startup. Commuted 2hrs a day, crashed at home completely exhausted and got eaten alive by the seasonal depression. Cried on the drive home about twice a week because I was miserable.
This year: covid hits, I go wfh full time. Decide to move to a new team. They're really great to work with and work is fun again. I have hours back in my day for all kinds of fun activities.
Lockdowns were actually a blessing in disguise.

The main reason why it isn't immeasurably harder for an indie founder is they can target market segments that are just not interesting to market leaders who already have a tight/clear idea of who their target customer is.

Additionally, as an indie founder you essentially have an invisibility cloak because you won't even be on the radar of the market leaders.

These two reasons are why someone like Less Annoying CRM can build a $1m/year business and Intuit couldn't even give a tiny care about it.

You can even study the market leaders and tackle things they are not interested in fixing - but that some customers have asked for on forums and such.

Of course, the indie founder invisibility cloak effect diminishes the smaller the market is, or the larger market share you take.

It's pretty hard to go un-noticed when you enter a market that just has 1,000 customers.

Likewise, it's pretty hard to go un-noticed when you start getting 1%+ of a larger market. But that's ok, because if you do get that big, you most likely know what you're doing.
I've had a quick look at those bags. They seem to do two types, one has an Oxo-degradable additive which is currently being banned in the EU[1] because all it does is break the bag down into microplastics. The visible litter problem may be reduced but it's not a good solution to anything.

Their other bags, the light green ones, are only industrial compostable. They will stay as a plastic bag unless they go down the correct waste stream.

People leaving their dog poo bags has been a problem for years, in the UK they are know as Dog Poo Trees and are disgusting.

I want to reiterate that I'm merely pursuing an intellectually curious line of inquiry into whether modal editing enthusiasts are brainworm-infested cultists, not engaging in base mudwrestling about editors, which the guidelines forbid.

Absolutely.

I am not wedded to my editor, I happen to prefer Emacs, if it’s not installed I shrug and use cat and sed. The older more experienced people at my company tend to use vi or Emacs. The younger ones use VS Code, PyCharm, Sublime etc. And they spend an awful lot of time on chat asking “how do I do this simple thing in my editor??” that you simply don’t see from the Emacs/vi crowd.

It's also about how you use your commute. For a 2 hour commute I was listening to audiobooks or studying with some app. Not unhappy for me, but it's true that sometimes it's better to have another choice, e.g., sleep instead.

Sines and cosines really are fundamental. Pass a triangular, sawtooth or square wave through a narrow-band bandpass filter (an actual physical filter) centred on the fundamental frequency and you'll get a sine wave out the other end. Anything that isn't sinusoidal has components that aren't at the fundamental frequency.
I dunno.

If you can’t confidently change a system preference back and forth, maybe you are very vulnerable to being hacked in general? So maybe it’s ok for Apple’s defaults, at least, to be restrictive?

I just want a preference that allows me to turn all of this off.
Supporting 85% of the market is basically free - because you already have a PC, and all browsers can be installed on that, except for Safari. But supporting the remaining 15% requires paying several hundred dollars for hardware that you don't really need for any other purpose. I don't think that refusing to do the latter is a case of "lazy".
If single-use cups are still going to be around, I’d much rather it be in this form than its current. Having said that, we need a culture shift back to reusable products.

I can’t help but feel like the tech industry is guilty of perpetuating a mindset of just throwing things away and getting a new thing without understanding the consequences.
> but I’d be shocked if the Inca actually never thought of “kill the leader”.

Not having a plan on transfer of control in case the leader is dead or otherwise unable to lead is, for intents and purposes, the same thing as never thought of it.

> Just identifying having a highly developed material culture with having greater access to historical knowledge doesn’t cut it.

I already identified how the Romans could beat a barbarian army 10 times their size and better armed. This was done with organization, tactics, and discipline. These were developed through centuries of experience, and writing is how these things are remembered.

A big part of what West Point teaches is military history, and it's not for the lulz. It's to learn the lessons of the past. My father (Air Force) received a lot of training as an officer, I still have his training books, and it's largely military history. The military is very interested in learning from history, and you can even see the constant changes in tactics in wars like WW1 and WW2 as they learn from mistakes.

> transplanting western military practice to south Vietnam (as ARVN forces) failed while the Viet Cong flourished.

That is indeed an interesting case history. The US, though, crippled itself by being unwilling (not unaware) to employ what was necessary to win. The VC took every advantage of what they knew the US was unwilling to do. Ho Chi Minh was no fool, had spent time in the west, and had access to military history. I.e. it was not a conflict between a society with military history knowledge and one without.
By no means do I want to be racist, and it's not my expression- but no, haven't missed the wave, most AI is still "Anonymous Indians".
Absolutely not.

You should be able to deny/allow connections for any app, including 1st party apps.

This isn’t only an issue of trust. There are apps made to meter your connection (e.g. when you’re using your phone as a Personal Hotspot), where you’d like to see how much bw your 1st party apps are using, and have the option to block them.

It's also a little ridiculous that this information is still valuable from a fraud perspective. It's completely possible to run as SmartId/Card system (similar to the Estonian national id / e-residency).

So long as just knowing some of these details has value like getting fraudulent credit cards the problem will exist, and criminals will find ways of accessing the data.

Now granted, stuff like the home address is always going to be valuable, but less so if its not as useful for identity theft.
A reusable cup is still higher quality and more eco, right?

Reddit is cute dog gifs on the surface and a quickly sloping pit of torment once you sink into it. I'm glad to have deleted it from my phone. I browse the internet much more responsibly on a laptop.
I deleted all social and news apps from my phone, I basically have email, maps, and a chess app. I was bored for a day, but now that I'm not pumping stupidity into my eyes through this phone I'm actually creating music and learning chess deeply. I'm much more conscious of constructive uses of my time now. Gotta cut that cord, most of you are probably addicted to those apps.
I need an "I don't know" option too.

I do have a story like this for all the browsers, save one: Opera, from back when it had its own rendering engine. It's not that it never crashed, mind you - but, somehow, the tabs would always be back after.

DisableTouch allows you to listen to movies,classes with ur phone in your pocket
Hello ! I have launched " Disable Touch" a simple app which allows you to listen to movies or even the online classes when your phone is in your pocket without the worry of accidental touches .It can be also used over popular apps like YouTube,Amazon Prime Videos and even over Netflix to 'binge-listen' movies .Would love to hear what you people think about it !!!

California too, one keeps the same number for whole life, all between ID, License, Commercial & anything in between. The only way to change it by religious objection to the number like 666 or 999 or such; or if somehow DMV issued same number to two persons; which has happened in past long ago.
It's about what subs you choose. Choose some genuinely funny ones, and not too much time on them and it can be a positive! And some of the programming subs are really nice communities. Supportive, helpful and informative.
I think the difference now is that even a small company can aggregate data from all over the world which makes it more valuable- therefore a good data scientist/ engineer can be paid more than just ‘middle class’

Microsoft still does.

You can get a lot more done today without Microsoft than you could 20 years ago, but it is very hard to not have an accessible copy of Word if you interact with lawyers (where formatting and change tracking matters, and mostly compatible like libreoffice or google docs is not sufficient.

Also, if you take remote tests for school (which was almost mandatory for some, and now for almost all), many places require you install some windows only rootkit so they could claim to have monitored you.

My children’s remote school mostly works without any MS stuff, but every now and then it doesn’t and I have to fire up a VM.

Monopoly is still there, even if it is not as tight as it once was.
It's convention. With browsers, you wouldn't want to introduce a recursion point in TLS (we already have certificate chains, and now we'd get OCSP check chains and where does that terminate?). Apple just did what everyone else does for OCSP, in a way which is accepted practice for good reasons.

Now in this specific instance, OCSP is being used in quite a different use case. For one, the plaintext issue is not a problem when browsing, as attackers can see what sites/certs you're accessing in the clear anyway (certificates are plaintext in TLS sessions), while app launch is an otherwise offline activity. So in this instance it makes sense for Apple to switch to HTTPS (and if they have OCSP on the server cert for that, that should go via HTTP to avoid loops or further issues).

But what Apple did here is just standard practice, it's just that there happen to be good reasons to diverge from the standard here.
Exactly. Who on earth could expect that they just copy the entire database to a minor insurance company? The data will always be incomplete, out of date and insecure. Not providing a proper query service to all the insurances is a major fault, and the responsible people should be fired immediately.

Tab sync usually doesn't maintain the same list of tabs on all devices like that - it just lets you see what you had opened elsewhere, and easily re-open it. My desktop and mobile browsing sessions are very different, as well - but I "move" tabs across devices all the time to continue some research etc.

OP, this was a remarkably self aware essay and I quite enjoyed it. I went to Wharton and remember EXACTLY how the prestige trap feels. 10 years later I can tell you that it is exactly as pointless and empty as you think. you're very fortunate to realize this at your age. I wish you all the best and hope you keep writing insightful stuff like this.
That's a strange metaphor to make when the farmer (Google and other FAANG?) is a net-negative for the EU digital and publishing economy, not to speak of avoiding taxes.
Well its very easy to get quickly depressed about this world, how properly fucked up it is and always was. How sociopathic bullshitters and strongmen rule, instead of aim for greater good that would at the end benefit us all, including those on the very top. To know that its perfectly possible to have a proper paradise here, sustainable, peaceful, yet we will never get there unless we change some pretty fundamental human traits.

And that is ignoring all the crap that went down this year and still coming strong.

I would say it actually takes quite a bit of ignorance to ward off semi-constant depression. What helps, I mean properly helps, apart from professional help is frequent physical activity and being in the nature, ideally both combined. Nature has some weird magic effect of recharging some imaginary internal battery and helps you take more life's bullshit and just keep going. Works for literally everybody I know. Covid obviously heavily interferes with both, depending on location.

Microchips MplabX is maybe not the worst I have used but what irritates me about it is you have to purchase a license for the c compiler to get it to produce optimized code. Even though it is a gcc based compiler. You would think a hardware company like them would give away the development tools to encourage people to use their hardware. The funny thing is, is that it's relatively simple to bypass their license check

Oh yeah, I am one of those people myself[1] :). But my setup is quirky and hard to customize. (Well, hard to customize for other people, anyway.)

Nix had a learning curve, but once I got over the initial hump, I stopped wanting to manage software any other way.

To get from my setup to what I'm thinking of here, I'd need to organize it as a package that's convenient for others to depend on, fill in a bunch of missing systems and factor out support for specific languages and tools into some kind of module-style config system. Thinking about it now, it's probably just a few days' worth of work.

Emacs, by the way, does work as an SSH client (via TRAMP). I do all my work on remote servers by SSHing from a local Emacs. It's not perfect, but it works well enough in practice that I haven't tried finding anything better.
