Not sure if you're speaking generally or only with regard to ATCs, but it's completely possible to make a good living doing IT work without having a college degree. If you're able to make the jump to software development it can become even more lucrative. The salary progression is more linear than a Stanford grad clearing $200k annually at Google straight out of college but making six figures in your 20s without a degree as a network/cloud engineer or sysadmin is pretty doable.
i'd go further and challenge the concept of 'expert' itself. a super common tactic is to trot out a researcher in one niche of a field and claim them to be an expert for the entire field. this is essentially the position fauci is in. his claim to fame is for something he did 30 years ago, yet, he's expected to speak for the entirety of the medical and epidemiological fields.

there's an unlimited supply of such 'experts' willing to trade message for power.
How to Accelerate Learning and Level Up Faster
My solution (https://gitsense.com) captures every line change but it's currently not designed to tell you how munch of the original code base is still being used. If the solution could do this, I would have guess the numbers wouldn't be very accurate or comes with a big caveat since this would be extremely difficult to do.

I guess you can track every blame, but that would be extremely computationally heavy and doable, if you are looking for something that can give you a timeline for something as big as the linux kernel.
But this process is small and fast when your branches are small and fast.

Code reviews length takes exponentially longer and misses way more when branches are "big and meaty"

Do you mind if I ask why you aren't going to a church now? I had a very similar experience growing up involved in an Episcopalian church. I met a lot of interesting people who really cared about the community. Not long after I graduated and moved away, the church split over the introduction of Young Life (and their associated fundamentalist beliefs) as a replacement for the home-grown youth group.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned about my church's past. The priest there in the 80's molested kids who were part of the Boy Scout troop that met in the church's basement. Some church members found out, they contacted the diocese, and he was shuffled away to another state.

I was horrified. Older church members, people I had a great deal of respect for and spent most of my life looking up to, let him get away with it. They didn't go to the police, they went to the church, which allowed him to keep abusing children.

Looking for that sense of togetherness and community service, I've tried going to other churches since then. But deep in my mind, I know that all of the true believers will look the other way. The church I grew up in was a good influence on me and I met a lot of great people, but now that I'm getting close to having children of my own, I don't think there's any church I'd feel was right to take them to. The odds of anything awful happening are low, but knowing that these communities would not help them has completely turned me away.
I didn't know about the empty commit, that's useful.

The approach I try to follow is below. The BLUF is I use a similar but more granular approach and agree with writing the commit before you do the work.

First, I write the commit message capturing the intended design in a file and then try to create a skeleton of API level changes with method names and stubs from my design as my first commit. I use the file as my commit message for this.

Next, as I work I commit freely locally with small commits but I don't push to remote. I do this rather than commit --amend so I can track and revert as needed if needed. I probably could just use --amend.

Last, once I have it working I squash those commits into one commit and push to remote, then merge in changes from master if any and repush, and then start cycle over.

I tend to do this at one level below the issue I am working, so I then still have multiple commits for an issue, one per sub-issue. I will sometimes leave these as is in the PR, or sometimes I will squash these into a single commit as well. Which I do depends on how active the branch I'm targeting with the PR is, how big the commits are, and the extent of the changes.
I look forward to see said results and encourage any change that could happen. My previous comment isn't meant to be curt, but honestly the author of the article did not propose a solution so in essence this article comes off as no more than a complain. Which is equivalent to complaining about "X person should have used Y language".

> The elitist fucktards that create these social classes do so because it makes them feel important.

This is from the article, do we honestly believe that these things are created by the people saying them intentionally? As we just discussed this isn't a phenomenon, it organically happens inside of human organization.

I'm curious what level of social posturing and manners is required to avoid it. Is the solution to have "social-justice warriors"-like people patrolling Twitter and work platforms and correcting them?

Especially in the notion of public platforms on the internet, a lot of things are often taken out of context. Not every comment about "X language should be used" is a malicious elitism.
Indeed, so it's a screw handle that comes affixed to the screw. OP presents it as dual-use: handle and packaging. But it appears to only have the former use since the latter use is unnecessary.
Yes, it depends in a very absolute sense, but for most cases, efficient use of memory is a hugely important factor in a large software system for performance. It’s worth doing an abstraction layer. ICU has a stable API, to the best of my knowledge.

Consider the surgeon general's (now-deleted) tweet saying “Seriously people — STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if health care providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!” [1]

The discussion here is as follows:

1. The statement that masks are ineffective at stopping coronavirus is not true.

2. Those false statements are partly to blame for America's anti-masker problem (although the lion's share of the blame lies with Trump/GOP policy)

3. One lesson we might take away from this is, when authority figures knowingly make false statements during a crisis, that squanders credibility they may need later on. Perhaps leaders in future crises should think twice before repeating this mistake.

It's something we thought about, but I think it's somewhat orthogonal to the question of serialization - you still need code to go back and forth between the representation in the database and the native data structures.

See https://github.com/simoncozens/babelfont/issues/10 for a deeper discussion of issues around a file format for a font editor. One of the biggest current pain points is dealing with merges in version control (usually git). I think there are ways of dealing with that in an sqlite-based file format, but I worry it would require some custom tooling, especially to make sure invariants aren't violated. Another interesting example is LibrePCB (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu-h5y6tK34) who devised their own text based format specifically to make version control more friendly.
I doubt it. If you are providing a valuable service it is most likely the the customers interest to keep you alive and maintaining the software, especially since you are likely pooling the funds from a large number of companies. If you go out of business the customers will need to quickly figure out how to maintain the thing themselves, and I would expect that most companies won't "give back" so the cost on each user probably goes up.

This. If union's had less rights than any other organization then you might argue they have been "kneecapped" but that's just not the case.

Let companies fire workers for unionizing, let them refuse to negotiate with unions, and in turn let unions do what they are intended to do, serve as a way for groups of workers to jointly apply pressure for their interests alone.

How does saying a husband should respect and love his wife mean that wives having to submit to their husbands isn't misogynistic? Yes, treat them well, but women must bow to their husbands in all decisions. It's a clear reinforcement of a power dynamic that ultimately means men control all the power in society.

It's been interesting to see the degree of magical thinking and arbitrary rules that have developed around masks over the past year. I do not doubt for a second that N95 masks will be highly effective if worn properly, but I've remained unconvinced that the idea that a flimsy ill-fitting surgical mask is anything more than a political totem. If anything, these cloth masks give people a false sense of security for being lax on social distancing rules. Same thing goes for arbitrary distance recommendations (e.g. 6ft vs 3ft) for inclosed spaces.

I really don’t understand this attack on Bitcoin. It seems to be all the rage nowadays to lament the effects of Bitcoin’s electricity usage on the environment but a couple things seem true to me.

1) Any civilization sufficiently progressing will use more and more energy. Bitcoin could definitely be more energy efficient but even without it our society would still increase our energy usage over time.

2) The issue people have with electricity usage isn’t the actual usage of the electricity but how it’s generated. Why are we attacking Bitcoin for using electricity instead of simply pushing for more renewable energy sources?

3) For Bitcoin miners to maximize profit they need the cheapest elictricity and now that solar provides the cheapest energ per watt in history miners are actually incentivized to build out more solar.

At the end of the day it seems to me that any free society that supplies energy as a service shouldn’t be dictating what individuals do with that electricity as long as they pay for it. If you’re concerned that electricity doesn’t properly price externalities then your issue is with the electricity provider, not Bitcoin miners.
Using the word 'standard' was probably a mistake in my parent comment, I just parroted the terminology from the docs.

Really what I mean by 'standard' in this context is a batteries-included experience for most day-to-day programming problems.

I can appreciate the minimalist view where every project selects a core set of libraries for the given challenge. On the other hand, a core set of libraries that are good enough for most things just reduces decision fatigue, and makes it easier to just code.
That's really interesting, could you expand on "reasonableness"?

I guess there's something I don't understand here. You're telling me that if a company spends money to invest in itself or improve its infrastructure, that isn't considered an expense? That seems like it would disincentivize investment in company growth.
There's a lot of conceit in this notion that just because _you_ can't understand or explain something means that it goes beyond understanding and explanation.

Religion exists because of that conceit, that notion that either something is immediately explainable or that it is supernatural. Science exists because the idea that something isn't understood now doesn't mean that we (as a species) won't ever understand it.

We stand on the shoulders who have come before us, and not one of them was a god.
Mass is very much not main line Protestant.

Spotting a witch would be no different than spotting any other sinner who exists. We are everywhere. At the end of the day we are all sinners and will all stand accountable for our sins on the day of judgement. We can either be found in Christ forgiven or on our own.

You can say you don’t believe it and it’s all a fairy tale. That’s fine but most Christians are only warning others of the eternity that waits based on the special revelation of Christ in the Bible.

On a technical level: I agree, it works great. Their dashboard needs some work. What I find annoying is mostly the "load everything in single ajax requests, but don't set the size of it in HTML", which makes elements jump around while stuff above them is being rendered. That's very annoying when your connection isn't great for some reason and buttons get replaced by different buttons. I get it, "use the API", but when you need to do something manually, I'd prefer a higher total load time over something that's asking for mistakes. There's a good reason Google is heavily advising to get rid of layout shifts.

The other thing I took personally was them removing the "remember me" functionality in a two step process: first it was broken, and then they removed the feature alltogether it instead of fixing.
Yes, but it's likely to be several months in the US before everyone who wants to get vaccinated will be able to get fully vaccinated. I've been eligible for a couple weeks and I still haven't been able to get an appointment and under 55s aren't eligible for another few weeks. And even after people get a jab, with the two shot vaccines, it's about another month before they'll be fully vaccinated.
> You say this as if it's a fact, but as of 2 days ago, we still don't know the answer to that question. Unless you have a source I'm unaware of?

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vac... <- that's the advice from public health authorities. I myself am not a public health expert, and so I don't pretend to know more than public health authorities, though maybe that is not the case for you?

> Heart disease is a large risk for an even more significant portion of the population, yet McDonalds is still open and people can still choose to eat there?

Right, because you going to mcdonald's can't give someone else heart disease.

> Once the vaccine is widely available (and it already is for the at-risk groups), it's up to those who are at-risk to get themselves vaccinated. If they choose not to, well, that's their prerogative to assume extra risk and I no longer have any obligation to protect them (at least, not any more than I protect my obese friends from heart disease).

It is already widely available to people with high risk, yet it is still almost impossible to find appointments in some states (including my own). It may very well open up to the majority of the population before everyone at high risk is able to get vaccinated. Also, people with compromised immune systems cannot get vaccinated.

If someone chooses not to get the vaccine when they otherwise should and have no health conditions that preclude them getting it, sure I agree they are taking on that risk themselves, but there are plenty of people that should get the vaccine that aren't able to for whatever reason.

Also....protecting your obese friends from heart disease is absolutely not the same thing and is not a good analogy.
> As for getting distracted and refactoring something else - you're context switching.

This feels very counter-productive.

Sure, an argument could be made that certain services are essential to keep running for the public good.

But the people working in these kinds of sectors are usually very aware about that fact and will compensate for it by keeping a minimum level of service running even during a strike.

While denying them their right to strike, in these essential sectors, is a recipe for steadily underfunding them without even having the "coal canary" of strikes happening to warn of it being underfunded and thus endangering the proper function of these essential sectors.
