Once you suss out working with local shared dependencies, Serverless framework with typescript is pretty awesome. If I were starting a new project today I'd have to take a good hard look at this for my API back-end.

- Lambda Authorizers for token auth (or use the built-in stuff if you can get away with it)

US healthcare isn't good. I never said it was. But the correct direction of reform is towards market-based healthcare, not to make it even more DMV-like.

> universal healthcare does not imply government-run healthcare

There is no practical way to implement one without the other in the US.
For some things in SK you have to download a bunch of weird proprietary government .exe's that seem to only run in conjunction with specific combinations of windows and IE. I was pretty shocked when my wife and I went to get our marriage certificate from the government, and going to get our marriage certificate was finding an old windows NT system at her college library that everyone used to do their government related .exe stuff. We had to download 2 or 3 apps to do it, I'm not even sure what they all did, just a bunch of programs you had to run in a specific order, some of them provided iFrame type windows to logins, it was really strange.
I doubt that more than a dozen people printed that document. It was a TS/SCI doc IIRC, so all of those printers are in SCIFs with rigorous access control, so it's not like someone grabbed it off the printer -- you have to release the job from the printer console anyway.

I literally wrote an article on this with my story on how I grew my specialization in search consulting:

https://softwaredoug.com/blog/2020/12/22/hack-your-career-wi...

TL; DR I became attracted to a particular challenging problem and just blogged and wrote about it a ton. I jumped on professional opportunities well like authoring some open source that fit in strategically or writing a book. You need not go this deep, but at a minimum you can work on identifying the people in the niche you want to focus on, network with them, find other consulting vendors, let them know you want work (they might sub to you, etc).

This website is full of overconfident midwits - nothing new. I appreciate that you're still willing to put in the effort to show them the evidence. Unfortunately, I'm at the point where I don't think it's worth it; it's not like they developed their current opinion by looking at any evidence, so they're not going to change it on account of evidence.
Caution though: this can lead to blind spots. I witnessed a critical bug become exacerbated by the first fix because the developer and reviewer had essentially co-wrote the solution, so the sign-off was essentially a rubber stamp.

If you want the least bias, you should find someone to review something that hasn't been deeply involved in designing it. And for pieces of code that are small enough, reading and getting up to speed shouldn't take that much time. I prefer sending reviews to engineers that are familiar with the area of the code, but we don't do pair-programming so the implementation hasn't been seen before.

We do, however, do a lot of design work before a single line of code is written.

It’s definitely more aggressive, and I think it to give users a choice. Most people don’t want to be cutting through side streets and things just to save a few minutes if they don’t know the area well enough, so Google Maps picks the friendliest route, and only gets aggressive if the traffic is terrible, whereas Waze tries to shave every second it seems like.
Work as a contractor. Go to dice.com and upload your resume. I have never felt more solidarity with the workers. We fuck around all day, smoke breaks, ping pong, etc. It’s a solid 90k/year minimum. Yes it’s temp, doesn’t have long term potential, but if you’re a US citizen they don’t have the same control over you. If you get fired, there’s a million more contract roles. These contracting companies are often exploiting legal realities where hiring US citizens lets them get more visas. There is even the concept of “sitting on the bench” while they try to place you in a company. My friends have literally “sat on the bench” (ie, stay at home, do nothing, and get full pay) for 6-12 consecutive months.

Why do you need to tear down a city to build another one? There are already numerous special economic zones across the country (especially at/near ports) that have seen great success when it comes to more traditional manufacturing. The problem with semiconductors is they need very specialized equipment, talent, materials and overall infrastructure that is just not available in India. So "unstable power supply" is a very simplified (and incorrect) argument.

Notice: the CFTC's primary jurisdiction comes from the fact that Bitcoin futures products rely on Coinbase's spot market activity.

Congress recently gave the CFTC some limited power to regulate spot market trading practices directly. But in general, the federal government does not regulate private property, only certain kinds of investment contracts (securities and futures). These new powers of the CFTC are untested and but does embolden them to analyze spot market activity more in an effort to enforce their more time tested regulatory ability in the futures market.

It is why the CFTC bothers to mention the following:

"Reporting firms such as Crypto Facilities Ltd., which publishes the CME Bitcoin Real Time Index, and CoinMarketCap OpCo, LLC, which posts such transactional information on its website, received access to Coinbase’s transactional information via Coinbase’s Application Programming Interface, while the NYSE Bitcoin Index, received it directly in transmissions from Coinbase."

But the newer powers are why they also mention that it was happening in the Litecoin market too. So its a mixture of "while we're at it, lets talk about these other markets that don't have derivatives and rope that in, but lets not make a case specifically about that"

I'm glad the CFTC has the ability and assertiveness now to make a statement like this. There are some rampant shady practices from all exchange players in the crypto space. I am really glad how well the US-based ones have improved, but I'm still surprised about what is considered normal.
The factors that cause America to spend a lot of money on healthcare don't go away when you switch to a single payer. If anything, they get worse.

Reform needs to happen elsewhere; for example, we need to stop using taxpayer money for extremely cost-ineffective treatment of very old people (which is where most of our money goes).
This seems great to help kids 12+ to get a sense of how machine learning works. I’m having a hard time figuring out a practical use case, though. Maybe...

- create a simple bead sorting machine

- teach it to greet people by facial recognition

I’m probably not creative enough to come up with something truly useful or interesting.
Have the community drum up Bitcoin's price so they can compensate for the fine? The CFTC should have no authority over cryptocurrency. Set up an angry Reddit mob and pull a GME on BTC every time someone gets fined.
You are making some interesting assumptions about non-work interests. I don’t mind working in the office 3-4 days/week, and have plenty of Non-work interests: restaurants, photography, dancing, live music, hanging out with friends. I live, work, and play in the city. I can pursue my social activities within minutes of leaving work.
Really it's much better than it used to be. The people I don't envy are those like my past self who had to contend with .NET 2.0 web forms, the AjaxControlToolkit (and really UpdatePanel in general), bloated heaps of ViewState... the list goes on, and I haven't even gotten past ASP.NET.

Most of the improvements that have been made in the last 10 years (aside from maybe async/await, but that pattern is pretty ubiquitous at this point) have served to reduce the amount of idiosyncrasies, not increase them.

In general, web programming has increased across-the-board in complexity manifold, regardless of your server-side language. Aside from that I find writing C# to be very succinct and logical these days compared to the past, even taking into account my own learning.

Others mentioned lifting weights — +1 to that but let me add something I haven't seen mentioned yet: rowing.

Rowing is, in my opinion, the perfect anti-programming exercise.

- you unfurl your body instead of hunching over, stretching it in a way counter to the usual strains programming creates

- you exercise your back, especially lower back, giving you support muscles for good posture

- you also exercise your forearms, building strength to support your wrists

I've been rowing consistently for about 20 years now, and have never once had wrist or lower back pain, despite programming professionally.
> But the correct direction of reform is towards market-based healthcare

I suppose if you subscribe to, say, the normative-over-empirical approaches of the Austrian school of economics. If you are concerned with universality and cost-effectiveness, instead of the doctrines of the free market cult, reform toward the shape of systems which empirically do those things better than the US, which there are plenty of examples of in other advanced economies, would make sense.
Honestly, none. My mother had been diagnosed with kidney cancer, and in my stress I had become a "cybercondriac", freaking out about all kinds of things. Randomly, I became worried about my throat and happened to be feeling it when I swallowed and noticed a lump. "Just a thyroid nodule" my doc and then my endocrinologist and then my surgeon said. It wasn't.
The batch time seems to be weeks/months, so there is some relevance to the dose count (it's wasted time in addition to the wasted ingredients).

I would suggest looking for interesting videos and twitch streams that let you watch more experienced coders live-code. Not video courses where you're trying to learn a curriculum, but live-coding streams is a way to watch the process of more experienced engineers.

Rebuilding is important because the major population centers have already been defined. Otherwise you’d need an exodus every time a new city is built.

You have a misunderstanding of "value", "worth", "cost", "price", etc. In our inflationary environment, you would (ideally) be paid more for the same service in the future. This does not mean you are automatically worth more every second that passes - rather, the value of the money you are paid in declines. A loaf of bread is a loaf of bread, but the dollar declines in value continuously. You do not automatically think your skills are "worth more" with every second that passes in an inflationary world, just as your skills aren't "worth less" in a deflationary world by virtue of time passing.

In a deflationary environment, you would naturally be paid less over time, rather than paid more. Rather than a default of losing money, you are in default of gaining money. Prices adjust lower, and by saving money you are naturally gaining wealth vs. people with lower time preference who are spending money.

But in reality, all of this is psychology. There is an amount of wealth in the world, and this is the sum total of all owned assets. We can use any unit of measurement we like to value this. If today there is $1 million total in existence, and tomorrow we double the money supply and there is $2 million, we aren't all suddenly 2x richer. Just as when the central banks print money, people aren't richer - we are redistributing wealth away from people's savings and towards the receivers of money. Wealth is only truly created when useful and productive enterprises grow.
VS comes with an interactive C# window that basically serves this purpose. Aside from that, you can always write a unit test and set a breakpoint to inspect whether something works as you think it does. In my opinion both these options are superior to running a file for that use case (though running a C# file would certainly have other uses that tests/REPL aren't sufficient for).

Same. When the company I worked at in the mid-nineties got our first color copier, the sales rep told us explicitly about the yellow dots, including how to use the zoom and contrast features to see them (i.e copy a copy on the highest level of zoom). They just didn't want us copying banknotes, which was, of course, the first thing we did.
And there will be an FDA investigation which will put further delays into new production.
The dot patterns are much smaller and more dense than I expected

We had the same thing here where basketball teams and politicians were getting covid tests every week while the rest of us couldn't get one when we had symptoms. I don't think that's a private vs. public healthcare issue necessarily.

i actually generally agree with that assessment, although i can see instances where sanitizer can be useful, like changing a series of diapers at a daycare, or servers at a restaurant.
I wish I knew about this option growing up. Public schooling was a massive time sink full of problematic social dynamics that made life difficult but imparted no life lessons, lots of busy work and time consuming but worthless projects, and odd curricula dictated by the state but not useful in life or career.

I did my best learning on my own time, but of course that time was limited since I still had to attend school and also lose free time to homework. My parents would much rather have had vouchers and school choice, or at least the freedom to have me not attend any school, and instead spend my time in a self guided manner (or guided by my parents or some other person or group of our choosing).

I think such freedoms are especially required in this day and age, where schools are turning into ideological battlegrounds to propagandize children. Maybe that was always how it was to some extent, but it seems much more blatant today, with states like CA mandating ethnic studies, and schools injecting politics (like BLM) and critical race theory into schools.

Ultimately I see the massive centralization of education as being at odds with both the individuality of children and also parental choice over how they want to raise their kids. It’s especially dark how far parents’ rights are being reduced when you look at situations like Loudoun County’s schools in Virginia tweeting about silencing parents (https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/29/loudoun-county-crazy-di...). What little choice parents have today is already at risk, with academic ideologues like Harvard’s Elizabeth Bartholet calling for a ban on homeschooling (https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemcshane/2020/04/21/harvards...).

My only rebuttal to this, and I don't know much about it and am only an outside observer from America, is that India has amended its constitution 104 times since 1951.

I had a primary care physician that was terrible at diagnosis, but knew his limitations. So he said it was nothing to be worried about, but referred me to an endocrinologist just in case. The endo was the bad one, and I was stuck with her for 6 months until she admitted it might be something weird. Then a surgeon that was going to take out the "perfectly typical thyroid nodule". The surgeon performed a "frozen section" during surgery, and saw it was cancer and had gotten into 9 lymph nodes. Then the oncologist got involved - she was awesome.

Weird side notes. My primary care physician died several years later randomly driving off the expressway into a bridge support pillar. My surgeon was someone I had worked with to develop a surgical simulator. My second oncologist was an asian man with a weird accent. Took several minutes for my brain to register the accent - because he was australian. Life is ... odd.
