Don't get out your eulogies too prematurely -- let's not forget Anthony Fantano's meteoric rise in large part due to his Gordon Ramsay style critic rants! With that said, I do agree with your directional assessment, but I wonder if it's more due to economic and discovery forces (lower cost to production, discovery AND publication than ever before).

That is to say -- I've found that while the sheer volume of mass-produced crap has gone up (including but not limited to music criticism), so too has the sheer volume of rare, underground jewels. I don't know if/maybe doubt discovery has been cracked yet.

You should take your friend’s advice to try it first and see if it inspires you before worrying about the cash. This work is too tough to make your initial choice based on reward potential. Take a class or read up on it, maybe see if you can experiment in your free time. Then decide.
You can do the linear parts of neural nets in the frequency domain, but AFAIK you can't do the nonlinearity, so you have to inverse transform back to the spatial domain for that. The nonlinearity is an absolutely essential part of pretty much every neural net layer, so there is no big win to be had unfortunately. For convolutional nets in particular there are other ways of going faster than a naive matrix multiply, e.g. winograd convolution.
Tesla has a route planner that will show you what superchargers to stop at and about how long you will have to charge based on your car model.

In United States, copyright law explicitly allows for copying that is essential to operating a piece of software.

That is a big part of why companies try to claim they never sold you a copy in the first place, only licensed it.
I mean given this person's American history seems to be pieced together from Prager University Youtube clips and OANN I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know FDR was in a wheelchair.
That's not assuming good faith. Basically it's equivalent of saying that any complaints about discrimination are always dishonest, which is certainly not the case.

Ummmm... sure. A layer of a neural network is a linear operator followed by an arbitrary (nonlinear in practice) mapping. Which means that neural networks can trivially implement linear operators (like the Fourier transform) by making the second mapping to be identity. QED
Picking winners: The same can be said for using brittle cutting edge, immature tech stacks having a limited shelf life and not worth learning if something else comes along.

That's pretty much what we did. Our 2010 Kia was at the point where any repairs would cost more than the valuation of the car.

France also has an agency doing this, HADOPI, but it works by joining Bittorrent swarms to collect IP addresses. What they punish is the download itself, ie. the acquisition of a copy. Not copying something you acquired legally.

For example, before fast internet connections, people would borrow music CDs from libraries and copy them.
I only considered Tesla for this reason, the superchargers work - the other options suck.

Non Tesla EVs can still be nice EVs, but today they’re city cars.

I had a Fiat 500e before my Model 3, a great little EV (and absurdly cheap lease at ~$87/month) but I can take my Model 3 to Tahoe from the bay area easily and would never take the 500e there. I was hesitant to take the 500e from Palo Alto to SF.
The problem is that every time vim is mentioned, there are dozens of comments about how nano is a better alternative, which is completely missing the point. Most vim users are using it all day as their main editor for various purposes, and most nano users are using it as a quick tool for small edits. They're largely incomparable.

Salesforce is a 200 billion dollar company. I see the odds of them being bought by a competitor as pretty low.
I had this happen exactly once, and that was because we were friends outside of work before we were colleagues at work.

Every other place, all of my "friends" at work, even those I had outside contact with via Facebook or beers, went radio silent when I moved on.

> Probably exponentially more people, based on how viruses typically spread.

It will be decades before we know the answer to this, if we ever do. Trying to justify these lockdowns while in the middle of the storm is fools errand. Heads are running way to hot and brains aren’t thinking clearly.

What we’ve done over the last year represents one of the largest uncontrolled public health experiments ever performed. The best part is all the billions caught up in the experiment never consented and many don’t even know it was an experiment.

Society has never, ever had a pandemic plan that includes what we’ve done over the 14 months.

Only through the passage of time, when all the people who instituted these policies are no longer with us and all the costs of these lockdowns will be laid bare, will history truly be able to judge our actions.

(Personally I think history will take an incredibly dim view of lockdowns and those who enacted them)
The "prong based" approach is never going to happen, in my opinion. Inductive charging is already a thing for EVs (it's less efficient, and not at all widespread), and my guess is that where we'll see investment.
I see your viewpoint - but I also think that you're confusing equality for moving the goalposts in some cases.

Take racial disparity in the US for instance, and the history of racial segregation and racist policies in government institutions. How do we address the inequality present in the current system without first addressing the root causes of that inequality; some of which stem from hundreds of years ago?

By your definition, that would seem to be special pleading, but it is not, in reality. It is attempting to address current conditions that were caused by past conditions. Or am I way off base?
Yeah that's true. But that's true of most technologies. OP should weight how easily they could pivot if any of that came true.
I'm currently building an abstracted authorization system for PostgreSQL, and one problem I ran into were timing attacks. Granted, I only had an unoptimised prototype, but querying a table and only checking if the user has permission to read the objects after the fact led to being able to differentiate "no matching object" and "one unavailable matching object". From skimming the paper, it seems Google use this approach, why are timing attacks not a problem for them? Is it because authorization checks are so fast? Or because they make sure only to query available objects, only using Zanzibar as a final "just in case" guard?
I don't see Salesforce going away anytime soon. I was a solution architect for a few startups and we lived in SF. The difference between a good experience with SF and a bad one was mostly due to the customization.
> I'm giving Basecamp the benefit of the doubt

It's not clear that they deserve the benefit of the doubt, if we are to believe Casey Newton's article, "What really happened at BaseCamp":

> Employees say the founders’ memos unfairly depicted their workplace as being riven by partisan politics, when in fact the main source of the discussion had always been Basecamp itself.

> “At least in my experience, it has always been centered on what is happening at Basecamp,” said one employee — who, like most of those I spoke with today, requested anonymity so as to freely discuss internal deliberations. “What is being done at Basecamp? What is being said at Basecamp? And how it is affecting individuals? It has never been big political discussions, like ‘the postal service should be disbanded,’ or ‘I don’t like Amy Klobuchar.’

> Interviews with a half-dozen Basecamp employees over the past day paint a portrait of a company where workers sought to advance Basecamp’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by having sensitive discussions about the company’s own failures. After months of fraught conversations, Fried and his co-founder, David Heinemeier Hansson moved to shut those conversations down.

It’s a job, not a relationship. In fact, in the US it’s fine to cut people loose at any time for no reason at all. Whatever they get as severance or even an explanation is out of the employers goodwill. Don’t like it? Vote better.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve been wanting a new (electric) car for a while but it’s so hard to pull the trigger when my old Toyota gets me from point A to B. Recently, I’ve been thinking all of the new safety features might be worth getting a new car before my current one is finished.

> AI can help us reduce the time of research and give us a less biased opinion.

Well, the first. AI systematizes bias, rather than eliminating it. But, like late-20th Century US corporate media, it can reduce the appearance of bias by universalizing it.
This would be a great question for the operator. Thanks for your input :)
The F-35 is not a failure, its procurement process is. In the future, the USAF absolutely wants to do this differently: cheaper, quicker, better. However, the F-35 is arguably the best multirole fighter in the world right now, especially when compared the the lack of uptime and supply of peer fifth-gen fighters.
When I say "as of right" I mean that all you need is ownership of the lot in question. The Empire State Building was built only with ownership of the lot it was built on and the owner was legally allowed to build as tall as they want.

Nearly all tall buildings in New York these days are legally built through assembling "air rights." Zoning has predetermined height/FAR limits for all lots, but in certain areas it is possible to sell currently unused rights and transfer them to the owner of another lot. This allows some developers to build taller but keeps overall neighborhood square footage around a prescribed limit. This way, you can build a spiky tower or two here and there on Billionaire's Row (the general name for the area) but the street cannot become a wall of them.

You don’t seem to be reading the clear onscreen warnings about this stuff from Tesla. There is a lot of misinformation out there, so I can understand how you could form negative opinions about them. My personal, first hand experience of their stance, as the owner of two Teslas both with the FSD option paid for, has been different from what you describe.

BTW about FSD I don’t expect it anytime soon. I paid for it (yes twice!) to support the company at a time when it was in a fragile financial state. It does give me some small benefits for now but I do look forward to more in the future. I don’t know how it will turn out but I’m thrilled to help do a small part to enable awesome futuristic technology! And to support a company that is not brain-locked sticking to the playbook of a committee of fuddy duddy old world car thinkers.

Which is precisely what makes it toothless and a waste of tax payer money. If it costs impractical amount of time and money to assert your right, then does that right actually exist?

I think, very sadly, that India is giving us an insight now. It must be remembered that the situation in India is into a society with some immunity from earlier infections and also some immunity from vaccination (I think ~10% combined) which muddies the water a bit. But, still the picture of an unmoderated c19 epidemic is horrifying.
Disclaimer: I'm the founder of GitSense which is working to make software metrics a good thing for both leaders and developers, so assume I have a bias.

> lines of code/number of commits/number of changelog items != productivity

This is the biggest challenge that I'm currently faced with right now, as GitPrime (now Pluralsight Flow), GitHub Insights (formerly Gitalytics), Waydev and others have been very effective at giving the impression that you can easily roll-up metrics to quantify developer productivity. You will be surprised by how many times people want a simple score or a simple graph to summarize how productive a developer is.

What really bugs me about lines of code/number of commits/etc. metrics is they are actually really useful for developers, but because they are used incorrectly, it takes a lot of effort to explain to people that context matters. For example, if I want to know what developers contributed to the src/vs/base directory in the vscode project in the last 30 days, lines of code/number of commits/etc. is quite useful. See the following for an example of what I mean:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=path...

If you switch to the impact view, you can quickly tell based on code churn, commits and other metrics who had the greatest impact. I talk a bit more about impact in the following post, so I won't repeat things here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26457072

Right now what I'm working on is making a connected efforts graph that should help management better understand how much effort it takes to develop code, which I'm hoping will displace the notion that you can quantify productivity with low hanging code metrics. For example, when you look at a code change, you should be able to see that it is connected to x number of meetings, x number of emails, x number of code review comments, and so forth.

When it is all over, tracking every line change is a good thing as it benefits everybody, but how it is used today out of convenience is certainly presenting challenges for what I'm working on.

Yes, with a caveat... The world will always need people who are great at optimizing sales organizations. Being someone who does that and happens to be an expert of the Salesforce tool is more valuable.

> So my question is - can this be a long term career? at least 8-10 years?

Yes. I've been working in Salesforce Commerce Cloud for about 8 years (it was Demandware back then[0]), been a certified Commerce Cloud Developer the whole time, and got an Architect certification in December. I'm working for a support/integration partner agency, as opposed to a merchant. So instead of working on one thing everyday, I'm assigned to a handful of clients, whose storefronts are vaguely similar.

There's a stock storefront that new ones are built from, so most storefronts work the same, the only differences being external integrations like payment and order processing. It ends up being a narrow problem space that I've enjoyed working in, instead of a customized sky's-the-limit line of business app.

My take on these management aphorisms is that they are rarely actually meant literally. They're usually a form of signalling about how much you're supposed to love the Company/job. Worse, they are often adopted because management copy them from other firms they see as "successful" or "leaders" in a particular area.

If I were being more cynical, I'd say that managers or leaders love to talk about "Company culture" or "Company values" points like this because it allows them to mark their own work when they define success (although this may be unconscious). "We changed our company culture" isn't a statement that's easy to check or measure (it won't show up in eg engagement surveys), unlike "we grew earnings by x%", yet it also sounds much more "difficult".

A lot of the time it's effectively all an elaborate social game.
Taxing ICE vehicles hurts poor people who can't afford buying new EV even with subsidies, while subsidizing EV's doesn't. So I would argue it's more sustainable from a social perspective than a punitive tax. Eventually used EV's will end up being bought by poorer folks as well, as long as the wealthy buy them first.

Besides, nothing you buy is exactly clean. At least vehicles provide real value by allowing people to move around, unlike your average cheap fashion item which is bought because some people just enjoy shopping, and soon forgotten after minimum use. Thus, typically purchasing a car is ethical compared to purchasing something you really don't need.

A problem I've noticed since moving out West is that distances are just so damn big here. I grew up on the East Coast and, even in the remote place I grew up in, it was rare to be more than 50 miles from a gas station. Out here, that's practically the norm. I suspect that the Tesla Supercharger network would work well if you stay along major highways like 60/70/80, but I keep thinking about my long weekend trips to national forests and just how impossible they would be in a Tesla.

Very curious, though, just what kind of timeframe we're looking at before gas fills become more inconvenient than electric charging... my hope is that by the time my current ICE vehicle has to be replaced (8 years or more, with luck), we'll have electric vehicles with 600 mile ranges and enough reliable fast-charging infrastructure that I can actually justify an electric vehicle.
