This is at a large company. A coworker who worked at another large company previously said it was similar there too. There's a big push for developers to have business acumen so that they understand what they are building, asking appropriate questions while not slowing the process down with trivial questions. It also seems that many of the people in finance, even on the tech side, are concerned with reputation and prestige. Things like credentials and status symbols (like talking about thier luxury cars and expensive toys) are common in the trading and trading support areas of the company.

I do not have a CFA charter, nor want one. I did take the CFA Foundations cert since management made it unofficially mandatory. I think this level of knowledge would be useful for devs working in that area, but this isn't the only measure of that knowledge. At that time, the cert cost money and was held at a test center (it's now free and online). I tried to avoid taking it since I already have that knowledge from my business admin minor, but management basically forced me to take it anyways. I passed it two days later and management was amazed - I guess they didn't believe that I my minor was worth anything but that this stupid test was.

So it might be different at your company, but there are companies and managers out there who look favorably on having a CFA Foundations or CFA Charter (or even just passing level 1 or 2). It can even get you more pay. It's credentialing similar to others you would list on a resume, like the OP mentioning his major/minor in his post. The real issue for the OP, is that if he's unemployed then he can't get a CFA charter anyways since you have to have years of experience in the industry and your company to sponsor/approve you if you don't work in one of the approved/listed roles (on the business side).
Oh, now I understand what you mean. Thanks for the clarification!

For those HNers wondering the significance of this page, a leitmotif is a "ringtone" for every character or event accompanied on a staged drama. Wagner's usage of leitmotifs in the Ring was very influential to the development of stage music, later film music.

The influence is especially present in the Star Wars score. You know how Darth Vader's theme plays when he enters the scene? John Williams took hint from Wagner to assign tunes to each character.
I mean, I get it, if your country's currency is collapsing you usually buy foreign currency or gold, but a lot of times banks control the currency market (and governments/central banks can impose limits that banks have to adhere to), or if you go to a currency exchange they might be out of actual USD notes, and same with gold. Nowadays if you're technically savvy, you can get an online exchange account and buy something with your Lira before it plummets further. It's a selfish move (good for the individuals but bad for the country), but if the country's run by corrupt idiots, and you want to continue to have food on the table, you can't escape being selfish.
> How To Win Friends is a great book for fine tuning interpersonal skills ... I wouldn't recommend it as something to internalize for actually making friends.

I would even argue this book can harm your friendships. Really, the whole book is only about friendships that you try to seek value from. That said, there are tons of books worth reading. The therapist can most likely recommend books that are really useful for "homework".

FWIW at some point in my life I also realized I need to improve my social circle and went for asking for the time and all that. Please don't do that, consult with your therapist and just learn by doing otherwise. People tend to think there is one way a person has to be.

Anyways, it's really bad with Covid right now but once that's over, there'll be plenty of opportunity to go to real Meetups, public events and all that.

Sorry, I meant it differently. What I was trying to say was that we (mankind) respond best to disasters = sudden catastrophic events, but really bad to frog-boiling ones.
It would be best to do nothing and let it all reach a critical point to trigger that survival instinct, because nothing short of that will be able to force us to do anything about it, other than some weak, irrelevant attempts.

The sorry state of Ubuntu package management
I have faced this problem multiple times that I have to mention it: The Ubuntu distribution using snap and the older method breaks applications! Some applications are (by default)distributed using snap, some are distributed in the old fashion. And it is difficult for them to communicate. I am using Inkscape to create interactive mockups. It is an extension that exports Inkscape files to interactive web mockup. It internally uses ImageMagick. This module breaks because it cannot access ImageMagick. Why? Because Inkscape was installed(automatically by default) via snap and ImageMagick was installed(again automatically by default) using old method. The snap version has difficulty accessing the non-snap application/libraries!

Your transaction isn't settled instantly. The actual money that flows between institutions behind the scenes is way slower than bitcoin.

... and yet the world turns; and credit cards amount to $3tn of payments in the U.S annually.

As it turns out, businesses do not actually care about instant settlement of payment transactions that much, what's important is instant authorization.

Has there actually been any use case found, for any real work, with current quantum computers?

I am sorry for potential ignorance and I don't understand much of the topic, but everytime I read about it, it got the message, that it will be awesome, very soon. But currently mostly research.

I mean it really surprise me, that it already exist as a service, so there must be real use cases already?

Or is this service directed at research?
(real use cases, too, sure, but in a different sense)

The standard for antitrust enforcement for decades has been when the action of a company harms consumers.

How does Amazon harm consumers? I mean precisely, how?

Amazon is one of the most highly rated companies in the US by its customers. Its NPS score is 69 and 70 is considered "world class".

I can get almost anything online shipped to my house the SAME DAY. If Amazon sends you the wrong item they'll let you keep the wrong one and immediately ship you a new one!

How is taking action against Amazon going to help consumers? Seems to me that just ends up being a giant win for Walmart and target who offer worse service and often worse prices!

So how are consumers being hurt?
> Trump's tax returns may seem comparably personal but didn't include any of the identifying information to get them flagged.

Yeah, I see `Result<T, E>` more solid in Rust than on-purpose Go error approach as you already mentioned and even more concise than `Exceptions` in other languages.

I am not a programmer, and I have hired developers to build websites for me for close to 15 years now.

I love PHP. Two reasons. One, because this was the language I learned to code when I started off. So, it's easy for me to understand stuff my developers tell me.

More importantly, the language is so mainstream that the developers I work with are quite cheap to hire. The more sophisticated a language is, the fewer the programmers available for hire, which shoots up the costs with no visible changes to me on the front-end.

I'm currently building a simple search-engine like project - all on PHP. We have been testing it right now, and it's fast and usable - and I am not regretting my decision to use PHP for this; yet.
> But their major monopoly has already been tested and their power is waning according to market share (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste...).

I don’t see their power waning. Their control of Office and Windows lets them bundle things like Teams and OneDrive, which puts pressure on smaller companies like Slack (sold to Salesforce) and Dropbox, who have a harder time selling when MS is throwing in OneDrive for free if you’re already buying Windows/Office/Exchange/Azure/etc.

I think you're thinking of Next/Nuxt. I'm a laravel dev but have tried every framework under the sun cause I get bored.

Next/Nuxt are basically react/vue SSR / Server Side Rendering or SPA frameworks... which seems more like Angular..no?

Nest.js is a fullstack backend framework more like fastify or express and has guides on connecting databases, graphql, etc....

Personally, if I were going to go with node, I'd choose nest.js or feathers or express as they have the best ecosystems ... but none seem as mature as laravel, rails, or django.

>the syntax, although not the most succinct is fairly easily readable and maintainable by other developers

I dislike that people conflate simple languages with easy to read code.

Low level verbose abstractions make code harder to read - going through the layers of IFactoryRepositoryLocatorBullshit because the language abstractions suck doesn't make it easier to read code.

It makes the code more accessible, in the sense that you can probably find some 20$/hour devs to read through that and spend a day solving something that should take a couple of hours most.

Good high level code express the problem domain without boilerplate and let's you focus at problem at hand - Java is terrible at that.

Humorous? I don't think how anyone could think stuff like "I cannot view with less or vim. Therefore it looks not at all." as even remotely funny.

I feel like in some ways cryptocurrencies might also present a sort of credible threat towards central banks to make sure they keep inflation in check. I'm skeptical about cryptocurrencies (though I'm quite positive about blockchain/smart contracts) but potentially this could be an aspect that all could benefit from, also those who are not invested.
>Cryptozealots spouting "It's the solution to everything! Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated!".

is a pretty unusual sentiment on HN. In the comments above I only saw a couple of mildly positive ones.

It's true people do tend to talk their book as it were. I feel I'm semi neutral as I've bought a bit in the booms and sell it when it seems to have peaked.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. It won't replace fiat but it's also not going away in a hurry.

> the rise of BTC is irrational.

Yeah but humans are irrational creatures. Life itself is kind of irrational. You muck around a while then die and try to have fun while doing so. Crypto is quite fun.

>To be honest, I like money too, and I wished I had put some money in BTC.

Never too late! ETH is probably going up some more.
According to some statistics [0], Wordpress is used on 41% websites in the world. That’s a lot of websites! Even if those numbers are inflated, It is still likely the most popular PHP app in the world. It is not disingenuous to judge a language by its most popular application.

I wonder what fraction of PHP programmers today mostly work with Wordpress.. and how many PHP jobs involve maintaining Wordpress apps.

It's time for debug info like this to be sent to "onlinesymbolserver.com", encrypted with a hash of the binary.

Then, whenever a debugger connects to a binary, it can simply download the symbols as required.

And for the 99.9% who don't need debug info, it isn't needlessly shipped.

> There is a famous story along these lines told for the first time by the German biologists Ernst Haeckel and Carl Vogt. As the story goes, the fortunes of England would seem to depend on cats. By nourishing themselves on mice, cats increase the chances of survival of bumblebees, which, in turn, pollinate shamrocks, which then nourish the beef cows that provide the meat to nourish British sailors, thus permitting the British navy—which, as we all know, is the mainstay of the empire—to develop all of its power. T. H. Huxley, expanding on the joke, added that the true force of the empire was not cats but the perseverant love of English spinsters for cats, which kept the cat population so high.

As a point of curiosity, there is a similar observation found in the Buddhist Pali Canon (I think), popularized by Thich Nhat Hanh in his 1987 book "Old Path, White Clouds". It is apparently a very old text, commonly referred to as the "universe in a teacup" in certain circles.

To summarize, one can be said to discern the entire universe in a simple teacup (or bowl) in the same way that one can trace the power of the British Empire to a cat.

> Without water, the potter would not have been able to mix the clay he used to fashion the bowl....Fire was necessary to complete the bowl. Looking deeply, I can see the presence of heat and fire in the bowl...I see the air. Without air, the fire could not have burned and the potter could not have lived. I see the potter and his skillful hands. I see his consciousness. I see the kiln and the wood stacked in the kiln. I see the trees the wood came from. I see the rain, sun, and earth which enabled the trees to grow...I can see thousands of interpenetrating elements which gave rise to this bowl...Contemplating the bowl, it is possible to see the interdependent elements which gave rise to the bowl...these elements are present within and without the bowl. Your own awareness is one of the elements. If you took away heat and returned it to the sun, if you returned the clay to the earth and the water to the river, if you returned the potter to his parents and the wood to the forest trees, could the bowl still exist? [...] Look deeply at this bowl, and you can see the entire universe. This bowl contains the entire universe.

Thanks for taking the time to response, this was at least a bit encouraging.
