If you use his definition of working hard, by the time you are 30-year old software developer you'll have valuable skills and a valuable network in addition to a solid amount of money. You may be unable to _retire_ at 30 but you will, generally speaking, be setup for success for the rest of your life.
What could go wrong? Expecting software to become even shittier.

Most people in the US have both, but that's also irrelevant to the point I responded to - his claim was that you can't do well by being an employee which is untrue.

// Why is change always demanded from those without power by those with power?

I am not demanding any change. However, if you are not happy with your situation, the most actionable place for you to change it is with yourself. Start with yourself FIRST.
I've never been a UI dev, but have frequently been forced to put a UI as a PoC that becomes production UI. ugh. I had always turned to JQuery just for the browser compatibility aspect. I got out of the game for a few years and have recently gotten back on the that horse. I turned to JQuery as that's what I knew. Now that supporting IE is no longer a thing, and since modern JS essentially includes the missing pieces JQuery filled. I am slowly converting to plain JS in aims of removing JQuery.

I am awaiting my fetches with async functions in place of $.ajax with MDN pages in the next tab. Don't see how replacing one library of JQuery with another library like Vue/React/etc is any better. A crutch is a crutch by any other name.
Never had this problem really (doesn't mean that it doesn not exist).
Is shadow DOM a thing outside of SVGs? For sure it's not used by React, Vue etc.
MDN is telling me that the upcoming Web component spec uses it though, so maybe libraries like LitElement use it too?

Sites using React or Vue all seem to be searchable using standard CTRL-F for me.

It’s easy to find flawed studies with silly results, the underlying reality is rarely so extreme.
I've used jQuery in the past, but switched to native js/ts.

I found that while jQuery offers some nice synthetic sugar, it's mostly geared towards web frontend and actual logic continue to have to reside in native. I'd rather just know one thing (but I'm a backend programmer that only does js/ts for fun, so there's that).
I'm primarily an R and SQL user, excited to try this out on some fun data analyses.

How did you construct the Copilot? Did you use a learning approach based on data from actual pair-programming sessions? Or did you take tons of code as your input and use that to suggest next methods based on input code?

I learned a ton whenever I pair programmed, but now I'm at a small company so I'm looking for fun ways to learn new methods :)
You and I both.

I was quite disappointed it wasn't in fairness.
Do more of what makes you happy. All the best!
One of the big reasons is ductility. We want structures to show signs of distress before failing catastrophically. With ductile reinforcing (steel), the deformation at which failure occurs is easily 5 times larger than the deformation where yielding occurs. Large cracks will open up, it hopefully gets noticed, and there is a chance to intervene.

With GF or CF reinforcing, failure is sudden and catastrophic.

You mean specifically in the context of fusion power? Well, fusion is primary concerned with efficiency, and this isn't much efficient and has no avenue for improving.

It can probably scale up on the sense that you get more light emitted, and more high-energy regions. That is just not enough.

It probably will be very useful to replicate that heat-concentration effect on other contexts. But my guess is that the experiment has not gathered much attention yet because nobody invented those contexts. So there are only the purest of the theoretic interest.
I echo everyone else - You are overthinking it.
The Future of Deep Learning Is Photonic
>However, saying it’s pure overhead and then not qualifying how much is a catastrophic failure of reasoning.

a more catastrophic failure of reasoning, that is far more prevalent, is not understanding that virtual DOM is overhead on top of the regular DOM, not some magic fairy dust invented by facebook geniuses that just makes the web better (tm) because you are a dev whose first exposure to web development was via a React tutorial where you built some <popular app> clone as it held your hand every step of the way, and now you are loosed into the jungle of problems in the wild ready to crush the spirits of those old tired jquery devs. bwahahahaha.
Nope, it's called wisdom. Not everyone on here is under 12.

Agreed - I actually don't mind the QR thing when done elegantly (it often isn't but that's not the QR's fault) but what about travelers without a phone plan? Or folks who don't want to carry a phone?

If you're going to print out a half dozen menus, you're pretty much right back where you started.
I finally learned some React a couple of months ago on the premise that as a designer, I needed a better understanding of the frameworks used by the developers I work with.

I know React enforces some better practices that my spaghetti-jQuery of yore never followed, and that I was getting a crash course in those practices at the same time, but I was nonetheless surprised at just how slow I felt working in it! It gave me a new appreciation of just how accessible jQuery is, and how intuitive its concepts are to someone without a background in software development, perhaps for better or worse.

Obviously this is a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison, given the intended uses of the two frameworks, but for simple projects, it's hard to imagine a better balance of accessibility and flexibility than jQuery.
And if you know everything about coding, you can still introduce security flaws. But you're less likely to.
If you're trying to put on weight I suggest https://www.reddit.com/r/gainit/wiki/index and the subreddit itself. Generally the upvoted posts / comments have good advice. Also see https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-h...

To answer your questions:

- Red meat - we don't know (see https://www.reddit.com/r/nutrition/comments/ldaitn/is_red_me...)

- Fat is good for you, and saturated fat / cholesterol is fine unless you have certain genes that make you susceptible to heart attacks. Regular checkups / lab work should reveal this

- A gallon of milk a day isn't good, try to find more balanced ways to get your calories in

- Fast food is fine occasionally (e.g. once a week) but again, try to eat less processed high-calorie foods instead

Some examples of high-calorie whole foods: nut butters, fatty fish, cheese, yogurt, whole grains, potatoes, foods with with olive oil / butter

> It seems like what is conventionally known to be 'healthy' food also happens to be low-calorie food. I wonder if that is mostly because a lot of people are overweight, and so for them whatever makes them consume fewer calories is healthy?

Yes. What's healthy for a skinny person vs. an obese person vs. a sedentary person vs. a marathon runner is all different. For a starving person, even fast food and donuts are better than nothing. But, high-calorie whole foods are even better, because they have micro-nutrients as well as calories.

Lots of conventional diet advice (e.g. low-calorie = healthy) is geared towards the average American, and sadly lots of conventional diet advice sucks.
I had enough problems that I had to stop using it, though when it worked it was fantastic.

Client intermittently had seizures (at least on Windows) and I couldn't join/unjoin networks properly. Would have to restart the service and close the program for it to begin to work again.

Sometimes the traffic just didn't flow ... at all. Randomly couldn't connect to other clients on the network.

I quit about 6 mo ago. Has it improved since?

As a teenager, I had the opportunity to play and experience the monumental installation Genetic Images by Karl Sims installed at Pompidou Center in 1993.

It was using a Connection Machine to render images in realtime:

http://www.karlsims.com/genetic-images.html

The photo at the top of the page is of the installation at Pompidou Center (in the space that is now the staff entrance.)

Genetic Images has only been installed 3 times. Its installation at the Pompidou center as part of the Revue Virtuelle was especially significant at the time, as exhibiting a working super-computer in a museum had never been done, as far as I know.
Grossly overpaid for effort/comparison to other wages/industries.

Adequately paid for value captured (hence why companies are willing to pay for them at this rate).

Not a moral statement, but this gives more tools to those in power.
> My home-made cola can be every bit as good as Coca-Cola, but I can’t go around calling it that way.

Coca-Cola is a brand name, not a general term for a type of drink that's been in use for hundreds of years.

"Feta" is just the word that Greek people have used for the past few hundred years to refer to a range of different brined white cheeses that have been produced for thousands of years in the Eastern Mediterranean. Through an accident of history (namely, Greek immigration to Anglophone countries), the Greek word for those types of cheeses has spread around the world. If things had turned out slightly differently (for example, if large numbers of Turks had immigrated to the US in the early 20th Century), we might be calling feta cheese "sirene" or "beyaz peynir."

Greece is now cashing in on that linguistic happenstance to try to force competition out of the market.

> Nobody is preventing them from making any kind of cheese.

They're just preventing them from marketing the cheese under its common name. It's as if one country gained a monopoly on the word "chocolate," and forced producers in other countries to invent a new name that nobody recognized.
I think that hard work is also good if you're working towards an outcome that isn't money/ownership.

In my experience the zero sum nature of those things tends to make it harder to be intrinsically motivated towards the work.
That equation is not one that I made.

Such references would be arrows pointing the other way.

The Chinese say "luck is a combination of preparedness and opportunity". You have to be prepared for an opportunity - but it may never come.
This has nothing to do with class, similar to how declining a junior engineer for an architect role is not classist. A VP Engineering role is a senior management position, and being a fantastic programmer is not a reasonable transition point. It's a lot more reasonable to either make a lateral hire or promote internally from a lower level (say, Director). Tiny startups take more chances with whom they place into these positions out of necessity. At the end of the day though, vast majority of coders don't have the right set of skills to be a successful VP right there and then, as their day-to-day responsibilities do not meaningfully overlap. Doesn't mean they can't get there, but there's a career progression aspect to it which is certainly within their grasp. Vast majority of Directors and VPs work their way up, just like everyone else.

Let's formalize this to make it easier to discuss.

𝐏(𝐀) = 𝐏(contract has been hacked)
𝐏(¬𝐀) = 𝐏(contract has not been hacked)
𝐏(𝐁) = 𝐏(contract is hack resistant)

Relevant conditional probabilities:

𝐏(𝐁|¬𝐀) =
𝐏(contract is hack-resistant given that it has not been hacked)
𝐏(¬𝐀|𝐁) =
𝐏(contract has not been hacked given that it is hack-resistant)

The fallacy of the inverse would be assuming that:

> The probability that a contract is hack-resistant, given that it has not been hacked, is approximately equal to the probability that it has not been hacked, given that it's hack resistant.

More succinctly:

𝐏(𝐁|¬𝐀) ≅ 𝐏(¬𝐀|𝐁)

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27666484, the fallacy of the inverse was presented as "those contracts not being hacked yet is no proof that they are resistant to hacks" or "NOT (NOT A implies B)", i.e.:

¬(¬𝐀 → 𝐁)

In summary:

𝐏(𝐁|¬𝐀) ≅ 𝐏(¬𝐀|𝐁) => the fallacy of the inverse

and

¬(¬𝐀 → 𝐁) => statement in comment

These two statements are fundamentally different.

Note that the first statement is a comparison of probabilities, and the second is not. They're not the same. There might be another fallacy at play here, but it's not the fallacy of the inverse.

> Perhaps we could: sell everything and move into a van to live on the road; or get a cheap house boat; or declare bankruptcy and move into a Buddhist monastery; quit jobs to transition into a more mindless one that allows more free time; find a nonprofit organization in a different country to throw oneself into; teach English in a foreign country; etc...

My point is that this is the same behavior: looking for a reason why the person is wrong. That is a behavior that makes things worse because it takes the focus away from systemic improvements that make us safer. Please don't do it.
Do you think your colleagues can distinguish between someone who excel's and someone who does not? Do you think when they find some lucky opportunity, they would be more likely to reach out to the harder working colleagues they know or the lazier ones? It doesn't require 12 hour work days and we could exagerate ad nauseum, but generally speaking working hard and working smart earns you more than just a marginal impact on your current business -- it earns you a reputation that you can leverage towards greater opportunity.

FROSTBURG is on display at the National Cryptologic Museum:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FROSTBURG

Whatever your feelings about the NSA, it's an extremely cool museum, and free admission (at least when I went). The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, while obviously they can't discuss classified material, you're bound to get some great unpublished tidbits from them.
I tend to think like you. Somehow we convinced businesses that a mostly-blue collar job gets paid white collar salary but I've been told that SW-engineers aren't overpaid. Most people are just very underpaid.

What are your thoughts on that? I can lean that way just because I have a genius mechanical engineer friend who only makes 60k in his 30s.
So the AI doesn't actually understand the code does it? It only looks for similar things. So if I'm writing a game in Rust using the hecs ECS library, how is it going to help me? How many other people have written a game in that language using that library in this genre trying to do this task before? Probably very very few.

And yeah that's a niche example, maybe this is super helpful for writing a react app or something very library heavy. But gut feeling without trying it is that there's no way this could actually work on anything but the most common tasks that you can google and find solutions for already, just made easier so you don't actually have to google for it.

When I used tabnine which learned from you as you edit, it was fairly helpful for very repetitive code within the same project. But it was no where near "read english and write the code I meant for it". I'm curious to know how well this actually performs for non-common tasks, and whether it can understand ideas in your codebase that you come up with. If I make a WorldAbstractionOverEntities thing in my code, and then later use it in the project, will the AI be able to help me out? Or is it going to go "sorry, no one on github has used this thing you came up with an hour ago, I can't help you". An AI that could understand your own codebase and the abstractions you make and not just popular libraries would be infinitely more useful imo.

That said, I haven't tried this, maybe it'll turn out really good.
I think I'd love to use this to generate tests and then write the functions myself. Test generation seems like a killer feature.
HTMX has been on my radar for a little while.

Because if the world later decides the rock is worth $5, the government doesn't give you the taxes back. Taxes levied at the time of transaction are sensible and reduce the risk that people who own volatile assets will end up paying taxes without realizing gains.
I think you’re looking at the problem the wrong way. This provides less strong engineering talent with more leverage. The CEO (which could be you!) gets closer to being a CTO with less experience and context necessary (recall businesses that run on old janky codebases or no code platforms; they don’t have to be elegant, they simply have to work).

It all boils down to who is capturing the value for the effort and time expended. If a mediocre software engineer can compete against senior engineers with such augmentation, that seems like a win. Less time on learning language incantations, more time spent delivering value to those who will pay for it.
No mention of the near slave labor in our agriculture system. No mention of the parents working two custodial jobs to provide for their children. No mention of the vast quantity of individuals working hard every day who don't get to become billionaires.
That's not true at all. I worked with Cliqz behind the scenes and know you are incorrect. Think what you want. Everyone at Cliqz was of high integrity and wanted a product that they themselves would be proud to use, as individuals with privacy at the center of their worlds.
I do agree, but fortunately having the course online means one should be able to choose how they learn best. Want to sign up for a scheduled online class with available TAs? Neat, now you can pay for that separately. Want to just consume the material at your leisure and not require any outside assistance other than maybe a forum? Pay a smaller fee or even get it for free depending on the needs of the content creator and get access at any time without deadlines.

Personally I have a study friend and we motivate each other. But we don't necessarily move as fast as MIT's deadlines because we are professionals with deadlines that take priority. So it's completely lost on me which is frustrating because the material is great!
I agree. No need to go into something that exists and do a big refactor to pull it out. I'm advocating for not adding it to things you start now.

> Or you could be served divorce papers from your partner and lose a substantial fraction of your net-worth and future income.

This definitely implies a questionable decision.

> Or you ( or a member of your family) could have a debilitating/rare disease and your insurance does not cover all the treatments for it

Sure, there could be rare cataclysmic events that drain you of your financial resources. That's not really on-topic to what the discussion is about though.

> Or you could have been fired and opened your own business and your partners fleeced you out (ask me how I know)

This is 100% a bad decision. Do not take money out of your 401k to start a business.

> Or you live in a country where salaries are below 45 k /y.

Then you likely live in a country where the CoL is significantly lower than in the US and the dynamics of retirement are very different. I'm speaking 100% from an American-centric point of view.
