> Yeah, in Europe your only real options are moving to the US

This sounds overly dramatic. And I feel the urge to express that this isn't my picture of working as a SWE in the EU at all. Nor was it at any point in a very turbulent ~20 years career in tech and with many companies. Quite the contrary.

Perhaps it depends where exactly you're situated. And of course companies with low standards can be found – but that's probably true for both sides of the Atlantic.
So the idea is that:

(1) Nuclear is cheap and makes renewable like solar and wind useless

(2) Solar and wind require fossile fuels

My take is that intermittent renewable are a scam and will never help us fighting climate change. More of them is actually bad.
Was Global Warming the Cause of the Great Northwest Heatwave? Science Says No
Human fault aside, anybody care to speculate why Autopilot failed here? Was it a shortcoming of the radar, the vision system, or the fusion if the two? Is ultrasound used at all for AP or auto emergency braking?

I recently watched a great talk by Andrej Karpathy about Teslas transition away from radar towards vehicle speed estimation using only vision: https://youtu.be/gZ2SeiLjaEc

I wonder if it would have prevented the tragic outcome here.

People like to mock Windows Phone, but it was a great OS. The only problem I had with it was it's lack of apps and that wasn't Microsoft's fault, but the fault of the closed tech ecosystems we have been forced to accept.

I kinda wish MS just released an open source version of it so development could continue instead of ending the project completely.
In his example about console.log he explicitly mentions that it never happened again... Which makes sense to me, because even with the ability to disable the rule, you can't accidentally forget it. Sure, if a programmer is careless, it might still slip through because they disabled it, but with such a careless programmer you'll have bigger issues.

I certainly wouldn't mind if rules could only be disabled in context (or globally) and potentially even with a mandatory explanation though.
> Programming is barely a white-collar job here vs. Law or Medicine

Programmers routinely earn more than most doctors and healthcare professionals. Also, being "white-collar" is not about having the highest compensation.

Obviously, private practices, big law firms allow for extremely well paid Law and Medicine jobs. But so do big software corporations.

I think people forget that the purpose of performance is one of two things:

1. To perform for its own sake.

2. To drill the specific skill of live performance.

If you don't want to do either of those things, it is not an efficient way to improve. You must perform to hone the skill of performance, but you should not perform to practice other skills.

Caveat: sometimes you can't drill multiple skills together and performance is the only context where you can. However, performing with that in mind is very different to performing generally.

That's not true at all. If you watch the video, you can see the lane was clear to basically 5 car lengths (1 second per car length), and he absolutely had right of way. He gave ample time for signalling and he was gradually merging into the lane, which would give plenty of time for any normal driver to respond to. At the last second he realizes the Tesla wasn't slowing down AT ALL, and he attempts to swerve back.
Netflix does an impressive job of hiding from you 90%+ of what it has available if it's algorithm decides you are not interested in those genres.

However, there are plenty of sites out there that have compiled links to the thousands of genres that Netflix have categorised everything into. For example:

I just wish Netflix would open up these lists to be browsable in their own UI.

It’s interesting that Google had a built-in mechanism to combat bad decisions called “being Googly”. Basically default mode of operation and decision making was to “be Googly”. So this cultural pressure created culture of collaboration and helping out. The problem is that with high growth rate and relatively high churn you can’t indoctrinate this (or really, any) culture fast enough, and so it eroded. On top of that when third wave of management new-hires doesn’t embrace it (and why would they?), it disintegrates rather quickly.
Markdown's single best idea is that it is very readable "raw". While AsciiDoc is better than, say, html, it seems that's mostly a lucky accident because it's close to Markdown. Where it diverges, it looks like it fell from the XML tree.

> Passive Media Consumption is Fundamentally Bad.

Sounds like the guy just overdid it. Like anything else, movies/books/games can be enjoyed in a healthy way, or can turn into an addiction. When I consume too much, it makes me feel pointless and hate myself. When I consume from time to time, in a limited and healthy amount (like a weekly episode of Rick and Morty or Dimension 20) - it makes me happy and adds to my life.

When the consumption tunrs into an addiction, you keep seeking the joy you felt when you watched your first few great movies/episodes, and then you run out and start scraping the bottom of the barrel, naturally the quality of the available entertainment declines, so you end up feeling like the author does.

Just take a break, watch fewer movies, new amazing ones come out all the time, now more than ever, just not as often as once per day. Find a healthy balance between consuming and creating, and you'll enjoy both again.
Has it though? What are the red flags? The only thing they've done wrong IMO is using Google Analytics and they changed that pretty much as soon as this whole thing started.

> The critical aspect of these declarative frameworks to me (similar to React) is that they automatically update the presentation of the UI based on changes to the state of the application. From what I recall Delphi did not do this for the most part (aside from database bindings)?

Not for all components, no. For many components it did IIRC.

What it did allow was designing the UI in a drag-n-drop editor, and easily managing the state of the visual components by double-clicking on the component and adding a snippet of code.

The UI and the UI/code interactions were effectively "declared" in this manner.

> Though Delphi is certainly a great example of the circuitous route that good ideas take.

Hopefully things advance so much in the future that you will one day be saying the same thing about React, Flutter, etc :-)
> the reason a lot of the sort of African American vernacular you're addressing is discouraged is because there is no inherently african/black language

What? Of course there is no "inherently african/black language". Africa itself is a giant continent home to the most linguistic (and ethnic, and genetic) diversity on the planet, so that would be a tough claim to back up.

And no, out of the laundry list of reasons AAVE is stigmatized, that "there is no inherently african/black language" is not one of them.

The rest of your reply, despite best efforts, I literally don't even understand what any of it means. I don't mean to be uncharitable but it's kind of ironic given the topic being English Language...

To the degree you're trying to say something about AAVE being bad grammar, or being perceived to be bad grammar, that's not even half of it. Even those who speak perfectly grammatical Standard American English, but with an African American accent only, are still stigmatized. So it's not enough for speakers to speak grammatical Standard American English, they have to completely change they way they speak in order not to be stigmatized, which is sad and wrong.
It's called capitalism :)

The more I think on this, the more I don’t see the distinction that the internet makes in the everything game (aka living as a human). The examples given are typical human quandaries but “with computers.” A lot of reputation and authenticity has been unknowable for all history, but these days digital forensics can be used to verify or deny some claims of authenticity previously unknowable. The internet has enabled many spaces which are allowing people to self select into the groups they most identify with, which is a win for authenticity (although sometimes that means they are authentically in a hate group, is that better than them being unauthentic and alienated from a hate group?).

I’m rambling and I’ll stop here before I become a nihilist.

If you change lanes on a freeway, and a vehicle is coming up behind you at normal freeway speeds, the only way for you to be surprised by it is if you didn't properly check for traffic.

> You could just as easily interpret the events as: "He put on his turn signal, which Autopilot ignored."

It's both. He didn't check properly and Autopilot ignored the turn signal.

> A human driver should have been driving defensively and realized they needed to give the person space.

I suppose, but if you're in a crash and your argument is that the other driver should have been defensive then you're basically admitting you caused it. (in situations with two drivers and no mechanical failure)

> A human driver usually would have hit the brake as soon as they saw a turn signal.

"Usually" I'd agree is true, but lots of drivers would expect to pass and then let them change lanes behind.
Two explanations for green color in terrestrial animals that come to mind are (1) camouflage and (2) sexual selection for bright external colors.

Many mammals are nocturnal, which renders both of those inapplicable. But, one might think that green would be advantageous as camouflage to arboreal diurnal mammals such as monkeys, that have predators including large forest hawks and eagles. However, just because you have a selective hypothesis doesn't mean you necessarily expect it to have occurred in evolutionary history. In particular, we may not be looking at equilibrium states: perhaps the monkeys were nocturnal until recently, or perhaps vegetation distribution shifts have recently brought the predator-prey combinations we see today into contact.

English has various dialects. Anyone not educated in the "standard" dialect is at a disadvantage, but it's better to teach the standard dialect as a dialect, because that's what it is.

Instead of telling a student that his English is wrong, instruct him in the differences been his vernacular and the standard dialect.

This practice applies broadly across vernacular dialects and is not just limited to AAVE.
If you want an insurance policy against a large asteroid strike, then the best bet would still be on Earth - but perhaps deep under the ocean, or deep underground. The arguments for this project (and against) are largely the same (e.g. it's not likely to be economically viable because of trade).

I agree with you. So maybe the system could expect the driver to actually drive.

I've never driven a Tesla, but I've seen a similar thing in a Citroën I rented once. On the highway, with cruise control, the car could practically drive itself. It would follow the lane, slow down if cars in front got too close, accelerate back to the set speed when they went away, etc.

Once or twice I completely lifted the hands off the wheel, and pretty quickly it would start complaining. So with this system, the driver actually had to be engaged.

> Implying that one can't be grateful in the US because of the existence of insurance premiums feels like yet another example of American exceptionalism because many other countries have figured it out.

I agree with the sentiment of being grateful for access to good healthcare, however being grateful to the US for the privilege to pay for their private healthcare (when less fortunate US citizens are dying because they can't afford treatment [1]) is a strange sentiment from the perspective of a non-US citizen.

The U.S. is almost entirely alone among developed nations in lacking universal healthcare [2], and on a per capita basis, spends more than double the average of all OECD countries [3].

> Second, it's not that difficult for me to picture a scenario in which someone is grateful for the access to healthcare and health insurance that a typical Googler in the US has.

> Particularly if you've ever traveled to poorer countries (or just been exposed to more disadvantaged environments) where a lot less is taken for granted, it's often easy to find things in your life for which you are grateful.

I agree wholeheartedly with both of these points.

As an older dev, who isn’t a “cultural fit,” I can vouch for this. It ended up becoming my bane.

It forced me into an early retirement (I never made the huge gobs of money that people seem to make, these days, but I lived frugally, and invested fairly well).

The end result, for me, is that I am now happier than I have ever been in my life. I’m architecting and constructing software that shames anything I ever worked on, as a younger dev. I’m exploring software development practices that my employers never let me do (and that are working well).

I’m not making any money at it, but I’ve never actually done this stuff for the money.

“other people like us” has changed, over the years. Folks like me, are now an anachronism.

Of course, the thing about grey hair and cultural awkwardness, is that it comes with decades of experience in shipping software. That’s not something that comes in a Cracker Jack box (an example of said “cultural awkwardness”).

I wouldn’t have had the guts to make this move, on my own. I had to be forced into it.

So, it sucked, and was humiliating and scary, but, in the aggregate, things have turned out OK.
Most other tech companies that were 6 years old in 2004 are probably long gone today, so in that way they'd have 100% attrition.
