This essay's math literally relies on linear continuation of current price trends for over a decade with no justification of the linear assumption in order to reach this conclusion.

There's a way to approach this topic with a bit more nuance:

It's okay to treat your job as a job. Save your passion for your personal interests.

If you're passionate about programming that's awesome, but use it for code you can do yourself. Nobody can cancel your personal project because business priorities change.

It makes it so much easier if you can internalize that your coding at work does not represent your worth as a person. In many cases the coding you do at work is going to be significantly different than the code you do for yourself.
People get used to treating electronics and computers as black boxes, not concerned with their internal workings since things just tend to work how they should these days. But when you get into high power and batteries, you have to consider chemistry and heat. You can't just plug a 2000W inverter into a battery and assume things will work without any issues down the line.

It's the same reason fast-charge for phones only works with a specific type of cable and connector. Otherwise you could overload the battery or the burn the cable by sending too much current through the wrong cable.
It's OK to not know, but not to be confidently incorrect.

Big customers, including schools, sign multi year contracts and they pay (this is called "consideration" in a contract). Eng teams throw parties when the last old contract expires and they can turn off legacy monster system.

Obviously, free stuff isn't free forever.
Curative | Engineering (Front-end, Back-end, Infra), PM, design, user research | Remote | Full-Time | maddox@curative.com

Curative does COVID-19 testing and vaccinations. We have done 10s of millions of COVID tests across the country in less than a year. Not a single patient has had to pay anything.

We have now vaccinated over 1 million people and are rapidly rolling out sites across the country. For example, all Massachusetts vaccinations are run through our software.

We handle everything from scheduling, booking, on-site check-in and administration, the full-stack of testing in our labs, public health reporting, etc.

While we continue testing, our primary focus is on getting as many people vaccinated as quickly and safely as possible.

We are built on Postgres, Python, and React.

It's a wonderful combination of social good, a senior-heavy engineering team, big problems, and interesting engineering challenges.

Want to know what it's like to handle 70,000 requests per minute? To bill hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance claims? Shoot me an email:

This whole rant is a bit of a non-sequitor for a minor performance bug with a working fix.
Most of these essays about "passion not required" are missing the point.

Yes, of course passion isn't required for a paycheck. You're preaching to the choir who are already receptive to that message and nod in agreement.

The issue is that some of the others in the industry who you don't control such as founders, hiring managers, co-workers, etc do care about passion and use it as a important factor to hire you.

To answer the inevitable "pharmacists don't dispense medicine on the weekends as a fun hobby so why are programmers who don't have side-projects being discriminated against?!?" ... it's because programming (unlike pharamacy) is an activity that many genuinely enjoy doing for fun on personal time. For those, programming is similar to expressing a creative outlet like playing guitar. It's inevitable that some people prefer these types of programmers.

Hiring preferences for those with passion are not unique to computer programmers. Here's engineer Ben Krasnow (of popular channel Applied Science) explaining how a "personal portfolio" helps him stand out and get good non-programming jobs:

- deep link and watch for ~30 seconds:

Another Ben K video covering the same topic but mentioning Valve & GoogleX and choosing between prospective candidates:

- deep link: https://youtu.be/4RuT2TlhbU8?t=112

So, if you're an electrical engineer getting angry at the world because employers shouldn't "expect" you to design circuits for fun on the weekend, don't be surprised if they hire Ben instead of you.
This a performance bug in glibc (and others), right? Several developers seem to be hit by this.

Blazor Desktop: The Electron for .NET 6
Just my opinion here, but I feel like Apple again doesn't really care about power users. 98% of their users won't be making any customizations like this, so they don't care to spend money working on those "edge cases." Their primary mission is to sell devices and apps to average people who aren't tech geeks. And I don't think Apple cares about general purpose computing. I see MacOS getting closer to iOS with every update, and I'm betting that at some point we'll lose filesystem access and sudo access.
Understanding ProRaw[1][2] was a pretty great read on some of the technical capabilities.

It's hugely appealing to have the data accessible to humans. Google has amazing computational photography, but the human is out of the loop. You can shoot raw, & it gives you a post-HDR "raw". Apple gives you the raw image, and tells you what tone mapping they are suggesting via a Profile Gain Table Map. This is a huge huge huge boost to human agency, jump starts a relationship with technology, rather than just some blackbox magic being handed to the consumer. Apple is organizing & making accessible the information of computational photography.

Apple again makes the computational photography information available by storing a semantic map of the photo in ProRAW, identifying different subjects of the photo.

It makes me so happy to see someone supporting & enhancing the creative arts with technology, generating more information on what is happening within the system & allowing humans to participate in these expert systems. I hope we see more/some competition to open up computing to humans.

An interesting point is made way at the end:

> And in fact AI could come up with the next big idea, an idea like communism or Nazism or capitalism… and what troubles me about that is that it is very difficult for humans to keep control of that situation.

This to me is the best "are AI at human-level intellect yet" benchmark I've heard to date. Once AI can create a novel socio-political framework and convince humans to adapt it en-masse [0], I think we can safely say AI has far surpassed human intellect. (99.9999...% of humans can't accomplish such a task)

0: leaving myself some wiggle room with the definition of "masse"

If you're talking to the people in the professional class already, your points are valid. If you're talking to someone in OP's situation back then, your points are dispiriting. I know you didn't mean it that way, but it is important to a person who is in a disadvantaged situation to not hear well-meaning members of the professional class saying what sounds like, "you can't make your situation better until the whole system is changed". I think OP's statement of "I made it and you can too" was clearly aimed, not at you or me probably, but a person in the same situation that OP was in years ago.
Yes it does! I'll email you and we can get started if you want. We do price parity out of the box.
It's OK to do it for a paycheck, but to become really good at something you need to be passionate about it.
Passion doesn’t pay out for most people. Companies pay you to come in and do things everyone else didn’t want to do or couldn’t do.

How much salary would you give up for passion?

My well placed internal sources tell me it will be the best iPhone yet.
Either a site has the opt out choice clear, marked by default (the bigger/more visible button), or it should be reported.

Obviously authorities can’t follow up on every small player here, so the key is to make an example by imposing some extremely large fines on some large companies.

Anyone who sees it should think “whatever we risk losing by losing 99% ad revenue is better than THAT”. Preferably sanctions should include personal sanctions on decisionmakers but I’m not sure if that’s possible as the regulation works now.

It needs to be made a proper criminal offense so that investigators have the tools they need.
An efficient way to go about this could be to find one of the companies that supplies these dark pattern services (sells cookie gateway services), demand lists of their customers and verify that they indeed used that product - and fine all off them off the face of the internet.

> This is because apartments at both of these levels quite accurately assume that you can’t afford a lawyer - while it’s normal to put down a month or two worth of rent as a security deposit, it’s much less normal to get it back; the apartment complex has no reason to give back thousands of dollars they can simply keep.

This is a really key point and this behavior affects many many aspects of life.

Money is liquid power. Power is the ability to get others to do what you want. Unfortunately, power imbalances between people form an unstable equilibrium. As soon as you have a tiny bit more power over someone, the first thing you can do is use it to force them to give you more. This is, I believe, the seed of almost all inequality in the world.

One of the main accelerators of this imbalance is threat—applying power without spending it. If power worked exactly like money where to get you to do something I had to pay you, then there would be natural counter-balance towards equality. Any time someone had more power, the only useful thing they could do with it would to be spend it, which would lower their power and raise someone else's.

Unfortunately, you can often get what you want without spending any power simply by making it clear to someone that you could force them if you wanted to. They will capitulate and do what you want while you don't actually have to put any real effort in and squander any power.

In the example here, the apartment complex can afford a lawyer to argue about returning a security deposit and you can't. So you acquiesce to not getting your deposit back and they don't have to pay for a lawyer. They acquire a bit more power (cash) from you without having to spend anything to get it.

It's a shitty part of how life works.
In my experience the key challenge is the steep learning curve. You need to understand advanced type theory to really understand what the error messages mean.

Another problem is that sometimes there are "obvious" things that you'd like to write where the program itself is small but the proof of correctness isn't as easy. But I'd imagine that in a world of ubiquitous dependent types the software engineering might adapt to that. Either by encouraging you to write things that are easy to prove, or by developing best practices of when it's acceptable to skip a proof.
Self-censoring is part of the frontal cortex's normal function.

I only hear this word 'self-censorship' brought up as a boogeyman.
If people have an axe to grind against some part of mainstream culture, why not just say it out loud instead of priming their readers with FUD? (fear, uncertainty, doubt).
> It's still not really understood.

Is it really not that well understood? In countries and regions that are highly industrialized (like the societies you mention), having more than 2-3 children doesn't provide any more economic security like it does for largely agrarian and manual-labor based societies.
Keeping a raw version of the data make it easier to change in the future. If you use s3 as a data lake you can transform later into the shape you want it. Also can use tools like presto where schema is on read instead of hardcoded so transform step is moved to another time.

> Not to mention the main battery would have to constantly recharge the 12v battery, which is probably bad for both batteries.

I don't know about a Tesla, but this is how regular ICE cars work. The power from the alternator varies depending on the speed of the engine, so if you are stopped at a red light with your radio, wipers and head lights on, the alternator may not provide enough power. This is why the 12v battery is still connected after the engine has started, not just to charge itself, but effectively as a big capacitor to balance the 12V power supply to the car. As long as the inverter is normally drawing less power than the high voltage to 12V system can supply, it shouldn't damage the 12V battery.

This is also why cars with start-stop usually use AGM batteries, as the battery will be run down a lot more while the car is stopped (and the engine isn't running), which would quickly damage a regular lead acid battery.
My criticism was in direct response to the lightning network.
