This is just a personal anecdote:

In my puberty I had a strong feeling of rather being a girl and this caused significant mental anguish and some self harm. If had known as much about transgender people back then as I do know I would have likely transitioned then.

Today I'm pretty okay with being a man. I still sometimes have problems with it but not in the same order of magnitude.

From these personal experiences I think it is plausible that more people transition because more people are aware of the possibility and knowing other trans people in their age. I have no idea how big that group is however.
Potentially, but there are so many houses that it gets hard to find something that won't be laughed out of court.
Glad to be helpful. As noted in the other comment and with all things, YMMV, but there's definitely reasonable options out there.
I can totally understand wanting to reject and "smashing" the elite Ivy League.

I can't understand wanting to join them if they are so bad. It's akin to slaves wanting the right to own slaves --that's not the solution to the problem of the institution.
I'm with you in that we need better accessibility, but I don't think that we reached peak software.

I think, we didn't scratch the surface of the true demand yet. But, yes, we should get dramatically better in so many ways.

> History [..] is full of geniuses who came up with a revolutionary idea largely on their own [...] (Aristotle, Newton, Darwin, Einstein to name the most obvious examples).

This line has almost the opposite effect than intended in me. Yes, Newton and Darwin were geniuses that came with revolutionary ideas, but on the other hand, for calculus and evolution it seems to have been their time. Leibniz and Alfred Russel Wallace came to the same ideas around the same time.
The shortage is already here based on my recent job search. I've never felt so popular in my life.
Not really a good comparison (if we're talking about choosing a pronounceable name when incorporating) because the pronunciation is not at all ambiguous* (ワコム) in the original language, and the country it was founded in mostly uses that language.

* - while the ワコム part is not ambiguous, you can technically choose to pronounce the rest of the word (株式会社) differently - since these characters have multiple pronunciations - though choosing to do that would be considered a very strange thing to do in this context, since its otherwise got a standard pronunciation.

The problem with that is if you don't let the supply and demand price be the price, you create other issues. Like what to do about the excess or undersupply of whatever you are looking at.

I'm not denying that the price can seem wrong. Who really thinks that sports stars ought to make 20x what a doctor makes?
It is still very tough to outsource software development. Because of the nature of these sort of contractual arrangements, you end up moving the challenge from the implementation to the design spec and acceptance criteria.

In a more traditional software org, the implementer does a lot of this work, but this doesn't really happen with outsource contracts in my experience.

> Since I am not a libertarian and I think that the state should have some control over their citizens I can understand why the state objects prostitution under the assumption that most (or many) sex works don't (or wouldn't) choose this lifestyle voluntarily.

I'm not sure how to respond to this comment. The comment I responded to asked for examples of things the federal government nationalizes, with the support of democrats. You seem to believe that a policy being championed by a republican president means that it is somehow 'not democrat'.

This is similar to how people make out Iraq to be a republican war even though in enjoyed broad bipartisan support.

The facts you mentioned here are obvious. I didn't think they needed much spelling out for moderately educated Americans.

If the question is 'do republicans nationalize things'? The answer is... yes. All national politicians do.

I hate how we literally split everything, including bipartisan things up, into neat little democrat/republican boxes.
> because it equally applies to non-mandatory voting

Yes, this is because voting is often non-intuitive. There's a reason we haven't found an amazing system in thousands of years. The problem is that people are trying to apply "common sense" rules and not testing them to check if their assumptions hold true. It follows the typical rule of "if people think the solution to a long standing problem can be solved with common sense it probably cant." Which should be obvious since the problem is long standing... But here's the thing, we've done a lot of testing and aren't going in blind. Unfortunately when solutions are "common sense" we end up not looking at data because why would we? We already know the answer ;)

In public education, it's no longer 'equal opportunity', the no-child-left-behind has evolved into 'equity result', i.e. the ISD and teachers are rated based on how all students' scores are the same.

in high schools I know ,the tests are designed so easy that many can score 90+, so you see the whole class are all squeezed into the 90~100 range, everyone is happy and feeling justice and fairness, except that they will fail in college so we will need increase H1B

Specifically using another font for the code tag then the rest of the blog to hide the difference between ⁄⁄ and // seems weird. I get that it wouldn't be interesting if not doing that, but doesn't that just show that it's really not as complicated as you make it out to be?
well it 'was', but at the moment I'm pretty sure most germans don't buy that much from these labels, because these days they are mostly "fake", i.e. fake in the sense of it's not really made in germany, just build together and designed. btw. in the past lot's of german television products were really really good. but they didn't get the memo about smaller form factors and smart tv's (Grundig, Loewe, Metz, Technisat, Lorenz, Telefunken/AEG most of them either died, lost their market share or were sold to the chinese)

Yeah, they could by lying - but they'd be opening themselves up to lawsuits for questionable gain. It would be a dumb risk/reward calculation. That's not to say companies (or people) don't do dumb things, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt until we have reason to believe otherwise.
An approach that combined "no code reviews" with "continuous deployment" would be similar to coding on the production server, but with a better audit trail and consistent deployment across machines.

9/11 was not an isolated incident and was the culmination of nearly a decade of damaged ME relations.

> for all that men's rights activists like to talk about men having the most dangerous jobs, their statistics are drawn from a perspective that sex work isn't a "job" -- so the actual #1 most dangerous job, mostly done by women, is overlooked

By that token you'd also have to count "gangster" as a job, which is probably also pretty dangerous.

Furthermore, the entire notion that sex work is dangerous for women is exactly the reason it's widely prohibited in the first place.

> How Can Companies Improve Their Retention and Hiring?

The answer to this question in the article -- make sure you've thought about what a technical career track that includes advancement is within your organization -- is part of the picture, especially at the senior level.

If you want advanced skills, be ready to advance people.

And that may even include preparing staff/extrasenior engineers to actually train juniors and even seniors in skills that you want rather than expecting skilled labor to show up preformed at your doorstep so you can externalize the cost of thinking through how your talent supply works (as attractive as that option will always remain... if one can get away with it).
See, the thing is, is that I do find it malicious if someone wants to tell me what to do with myself. I am very much in favour of personal autonomy above other people's morals or ethics that they feel the need to legislate onto everyone else, assuming no one is hurt in the process.

As much as I don't like that people eat/smoke/work themselves to death, I don't want a government having the ability to go and criminalize such things.
> If woman were able to travel to another country (say, USA) and do short-term entertainment work for a few months on her own terms, you will reduce human trafficking.

I don't think regulation would fix this. Is the main impetus for human trafficking the inability for sex workers to independently travel? Doesn't fit my mental model of the issue.
and they often do it! at my first job (ultimately owned by ThermoFischer now) in 2008 there was quite a bit of development done at consultancies in India, and in house.
I’m not sure I understand what you’re thinking of. If it’s native to one browser, then usage is restricted. To allow different browsers to use it means standards like we already have. JavaScript is the means by which websites can augment the browser with their own functionality - dependencies make it easier for developers to do this, but are not necessary. Plugins allow users to do the same.

I can’t think how it could work differently.
I've just been trying to understand this. I believe the trick is in how with Adam7 there are progressively more pixels displayed with each pass. This allows you to make big changes from one pass to the next, even from almost completely white to almost completely black.

If you then interrupt the connection at the right point - directly after one pass - you can get these animations. But unlike a gif, once loaded they are no longer animated since they are done loading.

Edit: Also important here is the cache policy ('Cache-Control: no-store').
I generally think of a 'developer' as someone who can deal with more of the software development process (i.e. identify the requirements, break down the problem, define the tasks, perform the tasks) while a 'programmer' is someone you hand off defined tasks to be implemented. YMMV as everyone seems to have their own definition.
Why you can't safely and automatically refactor Python
You are confusing the top pay in the SV with developer pay. Even in SV the cash pay is low and a bump is given in funny money that may or may not end up being there.

Average developers are not making $250k/year cash + guaranteed bonus + bonus + options.
Look at pay scales in the former Soviet Union. In demand workers were still paid more but the state guaranteed a job for everyone and poverty was quite low - and average difference between a well-to-do person and a working class person was not huge (though I guess the living arrangements back then could be considered "poverty" today). Labor / Other salaries are always a choice (although the USSR experienced lots of brain drain because of their choices, so maybe it doesn't work too well with open borders)

(even though there were many other problems, and eventually the planned economy bit and large foreign-denominated loans backed by plummeting oil made the whole thing collapse like a house of cards)
Thanks for the tip!

I'm not a web developer by trade, so this is good advice and something I never looked into. Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to block Javascript and see if I can get it working. I might be able to remove the prettify stuff entirely.

I would think that GP meant review of the new joiners code, not the new joiner reviewing other peoples code. But even a new joiner reviewing existing code can be beneficial (to the new joiner definitely).

A way to learn how to code well is to read (good) code.
I think it's good that taxes can solve problems a decentralized, and therefore disorganized, system will struggle with, but in the same way i don't think that a centralized economy will run as efficiently as a free market, I think philanthropy will make greater gains if a variety of parties are allowed to spend their money on what they think is important without needing collective approval.
>More stores might be more choice for you, but it would take away the benefits to me of apps having to go through Apple App Store review to get on my phone.

Fair enough, can you give us a few of those benefits so we can have a discussion? AFAIK, Apple's privacy controls are built into the OS, so you'd still have those.
> Not in your control, and can't change, hence the question. A common and dangerous trap. "I can change" may be as treacherous an approach as "say no to drugs". If we locked up all the people that failed to change, our prisons would be full(er). I'd be there too.

I want be charitable to your comment but I think the premise of "I can't change" could be just as "dangerous" (as you put it). If you actually meant "change is difficult" then I would agree.

But, of course we can change. Can you learn a musical instrument? Can you learn to cook? Can you learn a language? Can you learn to use more positive language? Can you learn to use more positive self-talk (CBT)? Can you learn to get better at pausing between feeling an emotion and responding to that emotion to exercise self-regulation? (This skill is demonstrably what separates us from other animals).

Whether learning an instrument or changing your thought patterns, you're just creating, strengthening or weakening different connections within your brain. Some ingrained behaviours are harder to change, some feel impossible, but nonetheless we can absolutely change.

>This spares you of all the self-criticims, self-help, self-motivation, and can help you reframe your narrative

This essentially boils down to a bit of self-compassion and acceptance which I agree with although its not necessarily predicated on giving up on your ability to change.

> It's easier to change the relationship with your manager or even replacing him than "changing" your manager. Same applies with yourself.

I definitely agree that changing your environment or the people around you can be very powerful, and often easier than deep internal change. I think that changing yourself is not the same as trying to "change" your manager though. You can't change others, you can influence them, but you can change yourself. In fact you are constantly changing - it's just a matter of whether you're changing by your own intention or by outside influence.

"...as you begin to understand the fixed and growth mindsets, you will see exactly how one thing leads to another— how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions, and how a belief that your qualities can be cultivated leads to a host of different thoughts and actions, taking you down an entirely different road."

If your push process is reasonable, you don't need to confirm boot time config changes on all machines.

When you make a boot time config change (which, in my mind, includes kernel version and OS version to some extent), decide if it's nice to have or needs to have. If it's needs to have, well everything gets rebooted and no badges for a while. If it's nice to have, group hosts by kernel version and hardware spec and reboot one or two hosts with median uptime; your config will be tested, and you can still earn badges.

If you can't tell what configs are boot time or not, just reboot a median uptime host in each group once a week. If you can't tell what's important enough to reboot everything, I guess you can just reboot everything every 49.7 days, but you'll never get badges that way. You also won't get production data comparing current kernel to older kernel to see if any new software would have worked better on older kernels, so you have some data to start with when you hit new bottlenecks.

Indeed, the way emergent behaviors arise from simple rules is interesting, but to the best of my knowledge, analytically intractable for all but most simple cases. The converse way (from desired emergent behaviors to the engineered simple rules) is also intractable, perhaps even more challenging than the other way.

If you know existing literature on these topics, I would appreciate some pointers.
It's the market rate for a live-in butler. If you can't afford that, maybe just get the cleaning staff who comes in once a month and order pizza once a week.
I think most lawyers look at this and say "all code needs sox compliance" because you can't easily guarantee some bit of code won't end up being checked into a server binary that runs in prod at some point.

I think as long as you have a good enough narrative about production change control (IE, review all code that is added to a release candidate, when the RC is about to be promoted) then you don't need code review of all code required.

That said, I find that in many cases, people make good code review comments and I've learned how to push back against unnecessary nits (at google, it's called "Ack.")
Thanks for the perspective; there might be something to what you said.
Where the SDK pulls its data from is not hardcoded.

This might have been true at some point in the past, but it is very much false now, and has been false for at least a decade or two. If local property tax revenues are low, the shortfall is made up for with state and federal funds. Just look at the data: worst performing urban schools often have more funding than better performing ones in rural areas or in smaller towns. If you don’t believe me, just show me a few examples, it shouldn’t be too hard to come up with, if the pattern is as strong and casually important as you suggest it is.
The things you've mentioned can be applied to PoW blockchains as well. Having control over big mining pools at the end of the day is a question of money too. This creates the same oligarchy. In Bitcoin, there are 3 pools that control more than 50% of the mining.
"You are saying marital sexual assault did not have its own laws and it was NOT prosecuted under general sexual assault laws."

I am saying this because it was a fact in the United States. Laws specifically and unambiguously stated that rape was not a crime if the women was married to the man (and yes, it was gendered in the law). Hence the need for the laws to be changed starting in the late 1970's.
