>- People are likely to respond in a much more civil manner, they're not just going to yell at you

While I think that's true to a certain extent, I'd also say that the internet selects for the loudest, rudest voices.

Example. I was reading this this morning. (this this? English is an odd language).

Fine. I get it. Look for the first response (and others) from some guy named Thom Prentice. That's what the internet is all about. 10 second of research shows you that he's That Guy who goes to all the city council meetings to yell, continuously runs for office, has restraining orders. Every town has them.

That Guy has come to their full potential on social media.
I think if you come from the JVM / CLR world, you are so protected by the runtime’s patching up of references that it might not even occur to you that a (raw) pointer to a data structure’s internals can dangle after the data is moved around. The runtimes mentioned pause your code, move things around and even compact the heap and your references magically still point to what they did before!

- Better comp (significantly better, not insulting 4% raises)

- Better working conditions (possibly including more respect and higher social status)

- Different work (sick of development, want to move into management or product or whatever)

- Better prospects for future employment ("when I'm a middling-quality 45 year old developer I might not be able to find a job anymore... as a middling-quality 45-year-old manager, on the other hand, I'll do just fine)

One or (probably) more of those are what people want when they talk about wanting advancement opportunities. The comp is pretty much always going to be one of the things they're focused on, as it's a big part of what distinguishes advancement from changing careers. The better pay and/or status is what makes it advancement.
What did you do to solve it? I recently saw this Reddit post [1] and immediately booked an appointment with my doctor. He gave me the run around and asked me to book a 15 min call with another doctor to get an anxiety assessment. As soon as the call began they asked if I felt like I had ADHD. I said maybe and they stopped and said that they only diagnose anxiety. Now I am 200$ poorer(thanks American healthcare) and am nowhere closer. I am going back to my doctor and demand he take it seriously and prescribe something for me to at least try(something like an extremly low dosage of Adderal or something else).

Years ago I had a different doctor and she gave me a prescription for Lexapro. My god what an experience that was. I suddenly lost all random thoughts and boredom. Its like I became a robot, got my work done on time, without any distraction and a kind of concentration I had never had before. I wasn't sad or happy for that matter, I just felt neutral all the time. It was such an interesting feeling.

However Lexapro had severe side effects. Outside of a few hours of relative alertness, I was extremely exhausted and sleepy. I tried sleeping for 24 hours and was still extremely exhausted. It also made me feel extremely nauseous, like I felt like I was being poisoned. Finally there were other side effects of an ahem...sexual nature.

All in all I threw the pills away after a week and never perused the issue again until I saw the video above. Man I'll never forget that week though. The productivity was life changing.

> trying to ally itself with Russia's enemies and Russia did what it had to do stop it in its tracks

Russia's enemies are actually its current leaders and the oligarchs that support them. Vladimir Sorokin's Sugar Kremlin is quite telling in this regard.
The thing is... I don't care, and I'm sure the original Win 3.1 commenter doesn't care either. I am old enough to have experienced Win 3.1 (and making it slower with the "magic-whatever" software that made animated icons, anyone remember their rabbit/hat logo?).

Aaaanyway: Give me a "chrooted/jailed" environment where I have all my "dumb", "no internet" connection apps (Jails are 2000 technology, chroot is older), and be done with it, so that if anyone hacks my machine or if I quadruple-click on that virus it is only going to affect the chroot environment and doesn't see anything else.

Truth is, a lot of contemporary commercial OS sluggishness comes from ""features"" that are either some kind of telemetry, or just "security" preventing me (the user) from doing things the the company does not want me to do (like the asinine OSX "feature" of disabling write access to certain parts of MY hard disk by default)
Yes, you will want to look for "Shoyu" in a regular grocery store that will probably be made of fermented soy beans. You could also make the trip out to an Asian grocery store - a simple yet effective way to start an adventure :)

i have one, here are pros and cons that i have identified

1. if you sit about 1m or more away from the monitor, it might be usable in terms of size

2. it has brightness limiters, so if you have a mostly white screen (say a fullscreen diagramming app with a white canvas) the monitor will dim by about 50% so you will need to keep some empty space around your window of the desktop image visible (unless you are in complete dark mode for the app)

3. its a glossy display, so if you have direct light behind it wont work out well

4. 4k at 48 inches, the pixel density is a bit low, and if you do scaling of the ui its quite nice but then you loose the advantages of a large monitor to have more desktop space

5. darkmode + low light is brilliant

6. oled is beautiful (wish i could get it without the gloss though)

7. you will need a good enough gpu to get 120fps at 4k (laptop + egpu or latest macbook pro might work)

8. you will need a hdmi 2.0 cable to get 120fps at 4k

9. there are only hdmi inputs

10. if you want to prevent the timed autodimming (you cannot disable dimming completely (see 1) you will need to get the factory remote to disable it

11. to prevent damage to the oled, it auto shifts the screen output by about 5 to 10 pixels every few minutes in desktop/game mode (so you might notice the mac menubar is slightly cut off, thats normal)

12. the remote is a but wonky but cool... there are no direct shortcuts to brightness controls unfortunately...
---

it will also take while to get used to it.... it took me about 2 weeks to start liking the size... (i sit about 80cm from the monitor, deep desk)

honestly, if you sit close, say 50cm or less, a 32 inch 4k display will be better (like the lg 32 inch 4k displays)

edit: my dream monitor is 8k oled at about 38 inches (not ultrawide) and not glossy... thats a few years off i guess (and also who knows if they would make that size in non-ultrawide..)
Plus this was in 1993. So "keep" is inaccurate here, unless this person has additional data to provide.

> It may not be carrying out battle manoeuvres in the canal, but it also isn’t immune to threat while it’s there.

The threat in such a place would not be an underwater explosion a couple of miles away, or a shock wave similar to that caused by such an explosion. It would be bombs or missiles targeted directly at the carrier. Which is not the kind of threat the test in the article under discussion was testing for.

> I don’t see much reason why it couldn’t operate CWIS or launch missiles or aircraft while it’s there if necessary.

Operate CWIS, yes, in the unlikely event that it had to.

I don't think carriers carry missile launchers of their own.

Launch aircraft, not unless they're helicopters or VTOL aircraft; see my response to Retric downthread. Even that kind of launch would be dicey while transiting a canal, since the carrier still needs some room to maneuver for such launches.

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze on the backup client.

In 2017, this was proposed as one of several possible animations in the Backblaze client showing you are uploading files from your laptop to the cloud: https://i.imgur.com/L16xkMj.gifv It is an animated Gif, if you don't see it moving.

When I saw it, I had to send an EXTREMELY uncomfortable workplace email about a very personal activity two people do with something dribbling out. A few minutes later I hear from across the room "Well I CREATED it and now I can't unsee it!"

The decision was made to avoid that animation in favor of something else.
It's not about not getting excited; it's about literally being unable to. Someone with ADHD can sit there and really mean to get excited, and yell at themselves to, and they simply can't do it; their brain won't let them.

Someone neurotypical can usually convince themselves to at least do it, and "will" themselves into it.

But you're somewhat right, and this is why getting a real diagnosis from a professional is so important: lots of people have some of these symptoms. What distinguishes the ADHD brain from the neurotypical brain is the duration and frequency of these symptoms, and an inability to adjust for them even with disciplined effort.

And it's not about medication, necessarily, though for 80% of people with ADHD, medication is extremely helpful; often, just learning about the syndrome and finding a therapist/coach to help build tools and stop blaming yourself for the things you cannot change is extremely helpful on its own too.
Ask for triple then. You want them to hesitate.
> And practically all denominations have a specific alignment on every theological issue you can imagine.

That's...not particularly true, especially for the denominations that are both large and institutionally old, or are newer but less centrally authoritarian. The Roman Catholic Church (for an example in the former category) for instance, has a small number of declared-as-infallible dogmas, a larger number of doctrines that arr understood to be certain or argued to have been infallibly declared, a wide space of broadly accepted doctrine about which there is still debate which is recognized as legitimate and not dissent, and plenty of open theological questions, more of which are added all the time, because changing circumstances raise new questions not previously considered, and change the factual context of previous considerations so that, even for doctrines that are solid, what piece of the prior articulation is the actual doctrine and what piece reflects the limitations of the context considered at the earlier time must be discerned, and is often actively debated.
> which does not clarify what majors are categorized in these groups

Ok, but we now understand it is a group of majors, and not a single major or degree, right?

I'm sure its an poorly defined group, yes.

I work with software developers with an almost endless variety of degrees and non-degrees.

Oh good, BTC can finally support Schnorr signatures, a feature that been available on BCH for years now. A feature that is useless until wallet developers add Schnorr signing functionality.

Taproot is the update we get after ten years of the BTC devs doing nothing except gaslighting users about the protocol's scalability? All that momentum wasted.
Thanks. Have you ever had a failure of your devices? Do you know anyone who has?

I could see tablets as being far more efficient and thus effective in a crisis - no searching through thousands of pages, no juggling large volumes, just hold a tablet and search or click a bookmark. I'm just trying to get the full picture.
> The effects of the pandemic are not specific to the computer programming industry. Every industry in every area is experiencing a post-pandemic talent shortage, and the solution is going to be the same in every case: raise wages.

Companies can’t raise wages beyond what they have. Gamedevs will never be able to compete with FANG because most games devs lose money and FANG profits billions per quarter.

Grocery stores can’t hire fast enough. They also earn less than $5000 annual profit per employee. So they can’t raise wages without also raising prices.

Now you could say “then those places deserve to go out of business”. Maybe so! But that doesn’t mean a profitable business that can afford larger wages will magically rise from the ashes.

The current jobs situation is really really weird imho. For both fancy white collar jobs and low wage jobs.
The situation is even worse, due to the possible interleaving of the execution of function calls.
The US (it’s just people) already has a higher quality of life for its citizens - that’s why people come here.

What is a sufficient tax level to maintain security, external / internal threats, and basic dispute resolution.

Basically a military so that you don’t immediately get taken over by another country. A solid alliance may be a substitute for this.

A police force so everything doesn’t get burned to the ground each night.
Some sort of court / judge/magistrate to decide on disputes.

If you have those you have a stable county. Maybe brutal, maybe not. But a country.
Everything else is a nice to have (hopefully)

Tax rate can be 1-100% percent. At 100% everyone is essentially a slave. Revolution / collapse will happen quickly.

America is around 50% or so.

So the question is, what rate is “enough” to cover needs + reasonable wants.
While C++ is a dangerous tool indeed, ignoring the rule of 5 is analogous to ignoring the safety guidelines, not simply using the tool.

Fun fact: (maybe!)

Saffron is, per unit of weight, the most expensive thing you can buy in many supermarkets.

(That's my conjecture after noticing that the saffron in German supermarkets is about 10,000 to 30,000 EUR/kg, or 68,000 for the bio certified, hand picked, from a women-run enterprise:

https://shop.rewe.de/p/herbaria-safran-faeden/VJ7R7E3DA )

Any other contenders?
I agree with you, but to be fair it can be both - if the demand for senior engineers outpaces the supply, you can't just make more senior engineers overnight.

I would define a "fair question" as one which has the potential to be answered within the given resources.

It's always the loudest few. I've read takes from conservatives in favor of BLM, racial justice, queer rights, etc from conservative principles. The "conservatives" who go feral over any queer representation in media or even discussing reparations probably don't represent the majority numerically, but the silence of the rest (probably out of fear) makes it hard to say they aren't, essentially, representatives.

I try to do right from my "side," but sometimes it's scary when popular checkmarked people on Twitter call for genocides of "red" states, where I happen to live, to thunderous applause.
> So you want to translate this into how much infections it _prevented_ and then compare it against the cost of a COVID-19 infection for society.

By that logic, we should start selling hand sanitizer for 100 euros, and soap for 50 euros, right?

Obviously the idea that something should not be evaluated by how efficiently was produced but solely by how much it was needed is a recipe for absolute disaster and cost bloat. Seat belts will go for 10,000 euros in that world.
Medication could also change the life for worse because one risks getting psychosis.
If all of the properties owned by small scale landlords are converted into properties owned by large scale ones, you’re going to end up with more income inequality.

It also probably pulls wealth out of the local area, depending on where the owners of those larger corporations are.
It's hard to tell apples->apples when you can't buy the leading edge ARM servers outright AFAIK. There's a good argument that it's in the hyperscalers' best interest to discount ARM usage to even below their breakeven to put negotiating pressure on their x86 core suppliers as long as they balance the costs well enough.
To me it sounds like the fact that you're "slacking" for five hours a day is what enables you to complete your work effectively during the other three hours.

I expect that if you forced yourself to slack less and do more hours of "real work", you would get less done in more time, and with degraded quality.

If you can change your perspective and feel less guilty, I recommend you keep doing what you do for both your sake and your employer's. It's a long term win-win.
If they are struggling to find devs, then by definition they do not pay well enough.

I love drinking out of the saucer. It taste different than drinking from a cup. It taste different drinking from a stainless steel cup vs glass cup too.

My favorite saucer is Corelle butterfly gold.

> Alan Turing remained relatively obscure until 2012, when the British government declassified key documents that revealed the extent to which his code-breaking skills helped to undermine the Germans’ enigma machine in World War Two, changing the course of the war and giving the Allies a significant advantage over their Nazi adversaries.

That's a rather odd claim to make. The ACM's Turing Award has been given out since 1966; Turing's crucial role in the breaking of Enigma was revealed in the 70's. In 1999, he was one listed as one of Time magazine's 100 most important people of the 20th century.

As far as I can determine, the only new information that was declassified in 2012 was a couple of technical papers from Turing's work at Bletchley Park. Any relationship to public awareness of his life seems entirely coincidental.
While it is not the /norm/, it is quite common: almost 150K children are removed from their parents and put into foster care a year. Exigent circumstances happen quite a lot.
It was valuable for us, as well, who just wanted to see what was out there.
I'm glad Neil didn't erase the recordings. Sometimes bands have gems that stay in the vault for a long time. I remember reading about Nirvana's "You know you're right" years before it was released. I still remember the excitement I felt when it turned out the recording was real. Audioslave is another band that apparently has some good stuff in their vault. What was going to be the first single off of Revelations was shelved after their drummer decided he didn't like the track - but everyone else apparently loved it. Hopefully one day that sees the light of day.

You'll never "solve" it; you learn to manage it.

I've had fantastic experiences with donefirst.com, but also chadd.org is a great website with tons of resources.

Don't give up on the medication; finding the right one and right dosage is extremely helpful for many people with ADHD, myself included.

The most important part is: find an expert. Child psychologists/psychiatrists often have a ton of experience with ADHD, and also often treat adults. Someone without experience treating ADHD is almost worse than leaving it untreated, because some of the 'solutions' proposed by folks who don't understand the syndrome serve to only make life worse for ADHD people (negative reinforcement, talk therapy, etc.). Talk therapy, or CBT, for example, can be helpful, but coaching is much more useful.
Power perpetuates itself through incomplete information; that's the asymmetry you're looking for.

Those who cancel often mindlessly repeat emotional lies, in anger. It takes lot more effort to engage somebody on cool, rational level.
> often fall into a depression (though not as deep as someone who has clinical depression or BPD, unless that's a separate symptom) after nearly every success.

Echoing this point. I struggled with depression for much of my life. Being diagnosed with ADHD at 25 and taking medication for it on a regular basis (5-6d/week) has done more for my depression than any depression medication I've tried.

There is no difference. I've heard that Islam and Christianity, as religions, are good and forgiving. I've also witnessed the behavior of actual muslims and christians. I would not call these people good. I certainly wouldn't call them forgiving.

My feeling is that the poster is on the right track. Ideological groups, (not trying to pick on politics, but they are usually political ideologues), have become the new pseudo-religions. As people in the West have fallen away from church, we've witnessed the rise of ideologue communities on the right and left.

You can't argue with them. You can't question them. Some want to kill off half the people in the country. Others want draconian control over the other half.

And people are surprised that the only option available to a reasonable person is to opt-out?

If anything, I think people are being shortsighted in viewing the threat. For some people in the US, this ideology war is not only about a right to speech, it can come down to a right to live. Those people have to oppose the ideologues, or die.

I don't claim to know the solution, I do know that it's a tough, tough problem.
