I would take a job in what you can. Then do side projects and take classes in the things that interest you. blog and do videos on your side projects to build your network. and don't be afraid to switch jobs if a better opportunity comes along. Also, you'll know when it's time to look for another job.
A sister team at work (same manager, separate sprints) split a reasonable component into three microservices. One with business logic, one which talks to an external service, and one which presents an interface to outside clients. They then came to own the external service as well. So now they have 4 micro services when one or two would have been plenty. I don't hesitate to poke fun when that inevitably brings them frustration. Another team we work with has their infrastructure split across a half-dozen or more microservices, and then they use those names in design discussions as though we should have any idea which sub component they're talking about. Microservices are a tool that fits some situations, but they can be used so irresponsibly.

The issue is often that people with dystopian visions of the present and utopian visions of the past/future rarely have policies that are effective at actually redressing problems.

Routinely their dystopianism drives them to revolutionary ideas whose net effect has always been mass impoverishment.
I hate ads so much, that the only influence they have on me is that I will be less likely to make a purchase.
At some point the exuberance of the young and their ability to determine their own lives has to take priority over the comfort of the old. I am nearing middle age myself and I might be in a risk group, but I want restrictions lifted. People in their teens and twenties need to have their big social coming-of-age and courtship rituals. I see restrictions as an approach to COVID, as the greatest betrayal of young people since May ’68.

> rather than fast, decisive action

It is worth noting that even if there had been the "fast, decisive action" that epidemologist advisers wanted, that would have still imposed border closures in perpetuity. Life might have gone on "like normal" within a country, but people could not interact with their neighbors.

We see already some Australians advocating for hotel quarantine to be obligatory even after COVID, because a year of closed borders has made them regard outsiders as dirty. How long before border closures awaken old nationalist conflicts that freedom of movement and actually getting to know the other side had largely put to rest?
Are the young as at big a risk as older folks? No. CAN THEY COMMUNICATE IT TO OLDER FOLKS? Yes. Yes they can.

This kinda falls into the 'social obligation' column. Just because it doesn't affect you personally, doesn't mean you shouldn't be part of the solution. Sooner or later something WILL happen to you and you'll benefit from being a member.

The robots aren't to blame for any of this. The reason the post-war period was great for the US was a mix of several things - but largely due to how much our credit was expanding.

If robots can do a job that people could - this is obviously a good thing for us as a civilization. Whether the benefits are being shared equally is something we can work on.

Credit, on the other hand, cannot expand infinitely.

I can't comment on what your marketing team is up to but I don't know of any state level limitation on the demographics of ads. I see plenty of ads with white only folks in it...
If by "solely by an ad" you mean the kind of scenario where you once saw a single display ad on the side of a website, picked up your phone and your credit card and ordered something — that's not how advertising works.

But if you've heard of something like QVC, or have an approximate idea of the revenue generated by the advertising industry and the humility to think all of their customers can't be wrong, you should be able to dispose of the notion that you're pushing here.

Yeah, some people waste money on advertising. For some others, it's a money printing machine. Shrug
> Also vaguely related to my pet peeve of using large denominators to make numbers large and confusing. This factory produces 63M items a year! How about 2 per second, I can visualize 2.

smaller denominators can also be misleading though. maybe this is just me, but I usually read the denominator as implying a time period over which the figure is stable. for example, before the pandemic, I drove about 40 miles/day. I really did drive 20 miles each way to work pretty much every day. another way of saying this is that I drove 1.6 miles/hour every work day. true on average but kinda misleading when I spent 23 hours out of the day not driving at all.

it might not matter much to your example, but the factory probably didn't produce two items every second. there were probably shift changes, or maybe it stopped production for a few hours every night. depending on market conditions, it might have produced more on some days than others, and so forth.
I've done a few impulse purchases from FB / Instagram ads (a razor, two ebooks, signed up to a subscription service). I'm very happy with these purchases.

Are you saying advertising on FB/IG doesn't work in general?
My anecdotal experience is the opposite of yours - everyone I know in their 20s and 30s who had a positive COVID-19 test got through it within a week and it was about the same as the flu.

If my anecdata is irrelevant, then so is yours.

The only people I know who have had permanent damage from COVID-19 in this age range, have all had their trauma caused by excessive lockdown policies.

You know what's even less of a joke than COVID-19? Our histrionic, insane, and completely violent overreaction to it.
The goal of these kind of projects is to eventually be integrated into ISO C, if enough people at the committee get interested.
Hi! You get one year of free upgrades. Afterwards, if you need access to a new version, you can contact us for a discounted price for upgrade. We are more than happy to understand the requirements of our users and find the best solution. For example, we can offer extended licenses for multiple years. Moreover, the current promotion allows you to buy licenses at half price.
When Uber discovered that 80% of their ads where (allegedly fake, please don't sue me), it was a big issue, everyone was talking about it and case is in court. When Facebook is doing the same thing again and again and again, there's not massive backslash against them? Do we even expect them to change a bit?

I'm having a difficult time thinking about what this level of data would do for Apple's case.

I guess from their perspective there's no downside for them having it, but it's also not immediately clear to me what it would prove. So you have data on the release dates and prices of every game on Steam. Legally, is that useful? Does that reveal anything new about Epic's case?

I know Apple is making the argument that they're not anti-competitive because Steam charges the same rates, but I don't understand why they would need this granularity of data to make that argument. Is there something I'm missing? Maybe they're planning to also subpoena Epic Store's numbers and compare them?
This is true, BUT, loss of loved ones is surely worse than loneliness, when talking about depression.

And it's still an indication of early/strict lockdowns. People in China, Vietnam, Taiwan and New Zealand are enjoying social contact, punctuated by periodic lockdown. Some countries are basically placing the burden of reducing R0 on volunteers.

This is an odd framing to me. The psychological toll is from there being a deadly global pandemic. I guess we could have made the choice to trade the toll of social restrictions for the toll of even more people getting seriously ill and dying, but whatever choices we made and are making, the fact of the matter is that pandemics majorly suck. I think railing against lockdowns is a coping mechanism -- as policies we've chosen, we have some measure of control, so complaining about social restrictions gives us a sense we can change something, whereas going on a rant about bits of protein that don't quite qualify as even being alive doesn't really grant much relief.

We're all tired. This is a crappy situation. And if complaining about lockdowns help people feel better, well we all do what we need to try and feel a bit better I guess. But, in our more calm and reflective and honest moments, we should remember that the psychological toll here is from the pandemic, and there's not some magical other option where the pandemic is anything other than a very difficult situation.

The Verge reported on this [1] in 2017-

> Bloomberg says that early staffers “had an unusual compensation system” that multiplied staffers' salaries and bonuses based on the performance of the self-driving project. The payments accumulated as milestones were reached, even though Waymo remains years away from generating revenue. One staffer eventually “had a multiplier of 16 applied to bonuses and equity amassed over four years.” The huge amounts of compensation worked — for a while. But eventually, it gave many staffers such financial security that they were willing to leave the cuddly confines of Google.

I'm not reading this as "Don't do distributed work". It's "distributed systems have nontrivial hidden costs". Sure, monoliths are often synonymous with single points of failure. In theory, distributed systems are built to mitigate this. But unfortunately, in reality, distributed systems often introduce many additional single points of failure, because building resilient systems takes extra effort, effort that oftentimes is a secondary priority to "just ship it".
When all our appliances solve all our problems, the problems which remain are more prominent.

No one complained in 1990 at not being able to go to the cinema, etc., whenver they liked (netflix); to coordinate with friends without hours of conversation (messenger); to search for materials without days at the library (google).

These were taken for granted and are now reduced to "seconds of time".

Tech since the 90s has led to a massive increase of wealth via making our time vastly more productive: both social and economic.
"the mood is slowly turning into some sort of "Torches and Pitchforks" way..."

That mentality can actually be helpful, and provided it stays metaphorical, it is called for. We're coming up on the one year anniversary of authoritarian rules. We accepted them because we were (rightfully) scared. The facts are that it is now getting under control, and it would be healthy and cathartic to assert normalcy again. We're rightful in being optimistic now, and should reclaim our rights and freedom. The craziness comes from trying to contain it.

Hello,
are there any databases of with various properties of chemical substances (like chemspider), which I could host myself locally?
The idea is I want to look for substances by their properties (for example melting point). I know there online databases, but they only allow to search by name which is opposite of what i want to do. I also ask specifically for database because spreadsheet will probably cause performance issues.
> First, was the network setup. We needed to merge multi-site networks into a mesh topology network where all the nodes could be interconnected which was solved using a hub and spoke topology VPN. Although, it does have its own drawbacks it had a good cost-benefit ratio when it comes to setup and deployment and is working for us for now.

How is "mesh" solved with "hub and spoke"? If your hub goes offline, everything stops; the whole point of a mesh is to avoid the SPOF.

> Next, was building the dashboard which not only required the making of the UI but required figuring out how we’re going to expose and manage resources in our shop network.

What does that mean? Docker containers?
I've experienced a lot of the same.

I think the main cause for this is that WhatsApp still just works for most everyone, especially non-technical people - it's still a great product with many features, there's no settings you need to change, it's very reliable, moving to a new phone is literally just entering your phone number and allowing access(no accounts), etc.

Some people followed me to Signal but there really hasn't been a lot of interaction, and a few of them even moved back after the huge downtime it had right when the big news about the new policy broke.
Is this a sign that Facebook is having revenue issues?

Why would a company risk the negative press and losing users to other apps like Signal if everything was going fine.

Is it possible that the government is strong-arming them?
I have previously got a decent ROI from Facebook ads, but it was also very evident that they were not providing the service that they claimed. Whenever I ran specific locally targeted ads, large numbers of apparently fake accounts from around the world would like my business page: representing a significant percentage of the clicks that Facebook was claiming.

Clearly, FB was reaching some relevant users, since I picked some up as customers, but this was ridiculously padded with users outside the demographic that I was paying for, and I had to again figure out whether people were potential customers (re-qualify them). This left a sour taste and, as a result, I will not use Facebook advertising again.

I'm not sure why it's in Facebook's interest to lie like this.
> I expect that foo.user_id does not exist, because that representation has been transformed into an object.

Or you can just consider user_id to be a reference pointer that is part of foo, while user.id is an attribute of user. Totally different things and I am glad that the distinction is there.
One thing that helped for me was to treat this period as also life, rather than something I must sit through.

I still highlight dumb holidays (next week is International I Hate Cilantro Day), read by the candlelight, explore abandoned buildings, ride my bicycle around etc.

I had to delay the plans for which I have strived for many years, but I don't consider that time lost. I got to try things I wouldn't have tried otherwise, and to invest my time in different places.

When I get hit by a wave of despair (usually after they push the dates further), I do something that reaffirms this.
We are doing so now, by choosing to take the suicides and mental health problems lockdowns will result in over the deaths the pandemic would cause without lockdown. I mean, I'm not opposed to the lockdowns generally, but you can't pretend we aren't making choices about who suffers.

Mostly we're choosing to take our chances on the unknown long-term consequences over the fairly well-understood risks we face now. The people who pay the cost will be different.

Even if its not legally binding, even if they have said something like this in press it would be interesting to know. I cannot find anything though.
I did what I wanted to do (I’m a front-end developer). It turns out there was also a lot of opportunities, so I was lucky!

I like front-end because I’m able to create a whole application (web or mobile), with very few back-end skills (some serverless Node functions, Firebase, etc.). And I like to solve problems for users, so it is a good fit ;)

For a first role, I would say that it is a good thing to have a good understanding of several domains (e.g. front-end + back-end), although I believe with experience it is better to develop an expertise in one of them.

Most importantly: just do what you prefer :)

Regardless of fairness and cost of market I think it's not something beneficial for the companies when it comes to finding and keeping talent.

I live in Spain, and I'm in the same timezone as Germany, now let's imagine I'm percentile 99 when it comes to talent and an American company wants to hire me.

Because I live in the middle in Spain they offer me 75k euros a year, if I were in Germany I would get 110k instead. Now my current company pays me 70k and I'm happy where I am, I'm definitely not changing jobs. However if I was offered the 110k I would seriously consider moving because it's a lot more.

So instead of paying me the 110k they end up paying 110k to a worse candidate in Germany. Not only they pay the same to a worse candidate, if I were making 110k I would be kidnapped at the company because nobody else would pay that much here.

> apparently the free market is a good idea only when your business goes well

This statement is so confusing. Forcing millions of businesses which were previously legal to shutter under questionable authority is literally the opposite of a free market.
We need to unburden ourselves of having so many laws. Especially laws that are to fix inherent flaws of our economic system design. Better to change the systems design. Labour laws are only necessary because most people are in dire financial straits if they aren’t working. Give people the power to turn down employment without risking ruin and the whole power dynamic that makes these labour laws necessary goes away.

No, I want the knocking devices that all implement the universal standard to be sold for $10 on Amazon, and for the patient to be sent home with 2 when they get their device implanted. I was under the impression that mostly medical care providers would be interacting with the device. If there are truly a significant number of cases where untrained people use strong magnets to disable malfunctioning implants, then perhaps my tradeoff is wrong.
I moonlight at a machine shop. I'm not a machinist, and I'm hardly a machine operator.

Machine shops need bodies to do a few things (some of which OP mentioned) loading materials, removing materials, changing broken cutting bits, cleaning the machines (especially if you're cutting something like magnesium).

Machine shops also need bodies to build jigs to hold pieces to the machine table while the machines remove material (think 5 axis pieces, especially).

Despite all of this – there's an amazing amount of automation at play. Tool changes, coolant, temperature monitoring, the list goes on. I'm currently building some automation hardware and software so we can start to fill the gap of 'dead' time where machinists are pressing buttons, loading in blanks, and are bored out of their minds.

It's such an interesting space.
