"Goebbels had thus demanded all German soldiers, having stayed in Paris for six months, be transferred to the Eastern Front to negate any “adverse” effects of billeting in the French capital."

Corrupted by the enemy, always a problem with occupying forces.

The American version of this is "Your Job in Germany".[1] This was made for US occupation troops in Germany. Directed by Frank Capra and written by Theodor Geisel ("Dr. Seuss"), an unexpected collaboration that seems to work. The message: "You are in an enemy country. Take no chances. No fraternization with any of the German people."

It's become harder to view this video. The YouTube version, uploaded directly by the US National Archives [2], is now "age restricted". Of the Internet Archive versions, only the Ogg Vorbis version is still playable.

See it now, before the Thought Police delete all the copies as "hate speech".

Understanding what went wrong after WWI is helpful in understanding what went wrong in Afghanistan. It's not directly comparable, but it's important to know that the US had, in the past, changed minds and societies by military force, successfully.

Above average in which group though? If it's a competitive field where only the people with relevant PhDs get called back in for an interview, then you need to be at the top end of that group to get a job. Being above average in some broader population doesn't really mean much.

(I don't know OP personally and I'm not commenting on them specifically, they could be amazing)
"Administration" strikes me as too broad to make a reasonable comparison before and after PCs. I would expect that in the same time frame that office PCs came into existence, the roles of colleges has also expanded greatly, and if those new roles are considered as part of "administration" I don't think the comparison tells you much about the effects of computers. Are we counting things like counseling, career planning, financial aid, health (including mental health), immigration services, legal and compliance work, everything related to sports and athletics, etc.?
Beyond All Reason: Open-source RTS reimagining Total Annihilation
The division happened when transitioning from hunter gatherers (which didn't need possessions, just hard work) to agriculture, where land became a prized possession.
The RFC may expire, but it quotes the ISO3166 guidelines as to why .zz is safe for personal use. Those guidelines will not change because of this draft:

Don't they say the same about partners? It's optimal to marry the third one.
> I find it difficult to muster up any enthusiasm during job interviews, which is probably a red flag for potential employers. I'm no longer young and excited about this stuff!

A thought: instead of focusing on what the job is, find a job where you care about what the job accomplishes. You're in quant finance. Does that excite you? I'll bet not, or else you wouldn't be where you are right now.

Everyone needs software these days. Charities, non-profits, lots of companies that are doing good for the world. They all need software people, technical people, and what they accomplish might be of more interest to you than the specifics of how you accomplish it.
But the point is it would be too late, right? So at that point, might as well keep taking cruises if you want to.

When the discussion is Albertsons is scanning your face - I’m not sure it’s practical to think it’s avoidable anymore.
Start Lifecycle Email Marketing for your Ecommerce with this toolkit
Yes, for any job, there will be periods when you're more or less engaged, but at the end of the day, there's no substitute for believing in what you're working on. I am leaving a lot of money on the table because I was depressed working on something I didn't believe in, so I changed jobs to something that pays less but means more to me.
I still can’t get a 3080, and the frequency of drops seems to have decreased. Where are you seeing increased stock?
Yes - so straight away you have to leave the DSL and bypass the formal mode of Yacc. At which point why bother with it? If the first thing you need to do with your tool is hack around it, maybe the tool isn’t so well-designed?

And actions often do things like side-effect changes to the lexer state, so it gets worse from there.
I think this is mostly only an issue for people who need rehydration due to severe diarrhoea though.
The 'A quant who feels locked and would rather retire to travel the world' part?
Reminds me of Carlos Hathcock, generally considered to be the first example of a "modern" sniper. He would spends days crawling through fields in Vietnam deep in enemy territory just for a chance at one single shot on a high value target.
Totally agreed.

That being said, I find a lot of junior devs scared to ask and I've run into some senior devs who are a bit high and mighty and judge you if you don't know. It's why I started writing these articles (junior devs I mentor will ask me what things mean after hearing them in meetings/seeing them in PRs)

But...ideally one should just ask, like with anything else!
how does that work? I got stuck in a wildly inappropriate group and there there was no clear way out except the internal jobs boards...where the positions looked even less appropriate than the one I was in.

for every developer working on Go there are 1000 working on the most banal corporate crap you can imagine.

I'm not saying its a bad tradeoff - plenty of money. but if you care about what you do with your time, it might not be for you.
This sounds like a combo of mild depression, burn out, and concrete/legitimate issues. I would try and disambiguate which of these is the driving vs contributing factor. Reductionist reasoning trends to nihilism for every job/activity (including travel, meditation, etc).

Maybe you are expecting too much from your job in terms of fulfillment/meaning? Or too little?

Community and people make our lives richer than money. Maybe find a job just as meaningless but with people you really enjoy working with?

Keep taking time for yourself and dig into this. What do you need the money for? Why? Why do you think retirement will be meaningful? What is meaningful to you? How can you optimize for that?
> Productivity, especially in relevant areas like administration, stagnated despite computers hitting every desk.

I don't know if this has been quantified, but to some extent the extra capability is simply repurposed to more detailed administration. Things that were not possible become possible. Things that we did not have time for, we suddenly have time to do. Per Parkinson, "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion".

An example would be logistics within the US -- at some point, probably after 9/11 or a similar event, it was decided that all packages flying in commercial airlines within the US needed to be vouched for by entities known to the US government, the individual packages tracked at a more detailed level, etc. This would not have been possible without automation throughout the industry, and definitely "soaked up" some of the productivity benefits of this automation.

I'm sure there are endless other examples.
The performance / cache-orientation point gets talked about a lot re: ECS, but IME there are also (and maybe moreso) other important benefits:

- Combined with an inspector UI, you can explore gameplay by adding and removing components from entities and arrive at design emergently. One way to look at this is also that you write components and systems to handle the main gameplay path you start out thinking about, but your queries encode many other codepaths than just that (a combinatorial explosion of component membership in entity is possible). This lets you get a kind of "knob crawl" that you see in eg. sound design when tweaking parameters live with synths too. It lets artists and designers using the editor explore many gameplay possibilities.

- The way I see the component data is it's kind of an interface / source of truth, but some subsystems may end up storing transient data elsewhere at runtime (eg. a spatial octree or contact graph for physics). However as components are added or removed or component properties updated, the caches should be updated accordingly. You get a single focal point for scene state. Once some state is expressed as a component you get undo and redo, saving to scene files, saving an invidual (or group of) entity as a blueprint to reuse, ...

The cache thing feels like a minor point to me, inside a larger category of allowing you to massage your data based on access patterns by decoupling the logic acting on it. With performance being one of the goals of said massaging along with many others.

I also find myself not really focusing on the "system" aspect as much as the entity / component; esp. re: embedding constructs for that into a library. I've found you can get far just having one large "updateGame()" function that does queries and then performs the relevant mutations in the query bodies, and you can then separate code into more functions (usually just simple free functions without parameters) from there that become your systems. There's a bit of a rabbit hole designing reusable scheduling and event systems and whatnot but I feel like just simple calls to top level / free functions like this on a per-game basis seems a lot clearer and ultimately more flexible (it's just regular procedural code and you're in control of what happens when). I like seeing the backtrace / callstack and being the owner of things and then being explicit all the way up vs. entering from some emergently scheduled event dispatch system.
When you absolutely need to make a change the way i handle it is to think of the worst thing that will happen. Generally the worst isn't that bad so it makes the critical decision much easier to make.

I quit my FAANG job with no backup in place during the pandemic and so far have done a bit of traveling. No one blames me. It's 2021, the year of the burnout. For me the breaking point was watching the movie Whiplash where everything is given for the career and thinking it all seemed reasonable. The movie wasn't intended to be perfectly reasonable at all.

I've lined up another job already but will still be a little while before i start that. I was never that bothered by unemployment at any point except that i may have had to move back to my home country if i didn't line up the next job within the visa grace period. But that's not as much of problem as a mental break. One of the nice things about having some savings is that you can prioritize your mental health now even if it cuts into your early retirement plans.

Maybe you don't get another job for a while but if you are on track for early retirement being unemployed in 2021 isn't going to break you.

You're burnt out in 2021 after the chaos of a pandemic. Completely understandable. Do what you have to do.
ok we have to close this thread but I will say that a) you have several assumptions there that I know are not this case b) I own my actions and I repeat it here for the group c) many systems of law are changed over time; the law has not caught up to the tech, and it is up to people in daylight to make the world, not backroom deals or secret profiles. I will stick with that one - this is a Daylight Action if you see what I mean
> he is making multiples of what I'm making

> Given that anything else would involve a massive pay cut

That's one solution right there: talk to your partner obviously, but it looks like you could quit the job that you hate, and could still maintain your lifestyle using your partner's income. Then find something to do that you actually enjoy. I hope your partner would be happier when you're happier.
It's a vacuum that encourages banks to continue sabotaging, foot dragging, and target moving.

The result is middle apps that are forced to use sketchy anti-patterns like screen scraping and asking for user/pass instead of each bank issuing a per-app token. The banks are just fine with this because anything that explodes will be the middle app's fault and they want to preserve their otherwise moatless situation. Consumers can't really tell banks apart so they have to force retention.
The chosen visualization complicates it. In a perfectly square room, a beam in any direction, originating from some interior point p0, will hit the four mirrors and form a rectangle, passing through the original p0 at the same angle. When tracing a beam, we don't have to consider more than five mirror strikes.

Moreover, this rectangle can only pass through another distinct point p1 exactly once. If we know that if p1 lies on a beam rectangle that is interrupted by an obstacle, there are only two possibilities: p1 lies on the unobstructed part of the rectangle between p0 and the obstruction. Or else it lies on the shaded part. We can determine which rectangles that pass through p0 also pass through p1, and then for each one determine whether p1 is in the shaded part.

I suspect this can be done with some computational geometry (with a fair number of cases in it) without resorting to a brute-force ray-casting technique.

Github uses a system font stack, this is the one for code blocks: `ui-monospace,SFMono-Regular,SF Mono,Menlo,Consolas,Liberation Mono,monospace`.

I don't know if there are better monospace ones builtin on windows 10 that they could add to the stack.
36 here, and in a similar spot, though in a very different field (and country.)

That said -- where you are now feels hopeless, and the first thing to really do is try to figure out what you want. I mean that in an almost tactical way -- clearly you have some competing priorities, and it would help to know what you would want in an ideal world, and then make the compromises that are required.

It sounds like money isn't as much of a driver for you as you had initially hoped. So -- what would you want to do if money weren't an object? Does your partner want to stay or just not in as much of a hurry as you to leave?

There are options/possibilities. You might be able to work remotely from somewhere with a lower living cost but with a London-esque salary. There are also places besides London and your hometown.

I say this having been in a similar spot, as mentioned earlier. Burnt out completely at my job -- the one that I had wanted since I was 12. I've been working on a startup now for a little while -- and its by no means a success at all -- but I at least have something to work towards. There's a fantasy. There's something I can imagine working where I can be happy. And with that, there are real conversations I can have with my partner and myself about what we should do. It's not easy, but I have a vague idea now of what I would find rewarding, and at least a path to get there.
All that is true, but none of it is a counterargument to "They raise prices, then give you a “discount.”"
I’ve always refused to use plaid thankfully and go with the micro transactions route (2 small deposits and withdrawals from your account).
That's a clear violation of the CFAA. This crime carries prison time. How come they threw teenagers in prison but not the people responsible for doing it en mass?

My father had a pretty average salary, bought a massive house for a reasonable price, and saw his wealth multiply many times over. It's not like that for my generation.

With the housing market this is certainly so. I'm one year younger than you, but have managed to triple my networth since 2020 (thanks Federal Reserve!) through stocks, mostly tech.

Obviously there is a lot of bias in this statement because I've only been investing for 7 years which have all been bull markets. But the data is there for you to see, if you can just buy and hold S&P500, you would have done very well over the last few years.
I've always wished to live in a world where high end science and humanities research happens on the open internet so that people outside academia (like myself) can participate as a member of an interested audience.

With YouTube removing videos about CoVid from people who are actively working/researching the virus (because they disagree with the CDC and WHO guidelines), and FB removing historical artifacts by a Historian because such things must only happen behind paywalled journals that only large universities can afford, I worry that the internet is moving away from being a place where information is freely available.

I still think that everyone should host their own blog and have an RSS feed that people can subscribe to and have independent editorial control. But I also want to see YouTube and Facebook succeed as internet companies by enabling regular people like me listen to experts disagree about controversial topics and see how consensus slowly forms at the end of rigorous debate among experts.
Is ‘free-range’ parenting the key to healthier, happier children?
If you moved back to your home town today, what would you do for a living? Do that in London, or something related to it.

As for the ⅔ pay cut, aren't you spending a good bit of that now on excessive London costs? Plus the intangibles of feeling like shit?

Finally, there must be someone who will pay you remotely (even if "remote" is just WFH in the City) for your skills, or for your fundamental abilities that your skills are built on. For example, an advanced engineering firm that uses statistical quality control, informed by ML.
I have a similar impression from dealing with deliverability issues.

Relevant providers usually just require a few days of sending legit mail and occasionally asking to be unblocked, but there seems to be no chance getting into the inbox on GMail and Outlook with a "too low" sending volume.

If it wasn't for regulations, I would have already given up and switched to GMail.
I don't think contribution was taken into account at all.

I learned Go a few years ago and is now the main language that I use professionally.

Building something with it would be a good start but learning around go routines, channels, interfaces, etc. is something that is often missed by people coming from other languages, but it’s the main thing that gives go it’s value.

After learning the basics with the go tour, gobyexample, et al spend sometime learning and understanding go routines and channels, the problem that they try to solve and go help solve those specific problems.

One example comes to mind, when non-go teammates review my code they are often confused by all of the infinite loops in it (for {…}) but the pattern on an infinite loop with a select, not switch, statement inside a go routine is super common in go but quite confusing to people new to the language

Good luck!
You have summed it up exactly. The salary and talent pool have bi-modal distributions.
For IG the web site pales in comparison. I don't use the app but I have an account courtesy FB I think and all the recommendations are "Instagram recommended" accounts like pop singers and reality TV stars even after I followed some that weren't such as in real world friends and family. There's no way to discover other interesting material. So I guess it's because the web version can be much worse.
The fact that the OP had a different opinion to yourself about what he found readable is proof enough that it is subjective and it’s laughable how you’ve demonstrated hnlmorg’s point while attempting to debunk it (eg your attempt at providing fact while your evidence is just more illustrations of familiarity which is entirely subjective).
This clearly requisites a follow-up study on what effect the moistening (and subsequent drying) of coasters due to beverage related condensation has on their frisbee-ability.
Sadly this sort of thing caught on in the UK too where the tidal wave of US corporate speak was impossible to hold back. It's rife in the tech sector and beyond.

I find all of this sort of thing; "blue sky thinking", "touch base", "leverage", "reach out" "deliverables" and so on, to be substitutes for clarity and real meaning. Just speak clearly and like a normal person please! Quite apart from murdering the language you often find that, whilst this sort of speech sounds clever on the surface, it's often hiding vagueness and half-baked thoughts. It gives the illusion of substance.

"Lets touch base offline on those key deliverables when we have enough bandwidth and ensure our thinking is joined up". Makes me think of David Brent from The Office!
I don't think they're trying to say it's a valid excuse, just that there are reasons to check clipboard content that aren't malicious.

That was my reading, although I'm not as unsympathetic to Facebook's moderators here as he is. He wrote that "I did not comment on any of Goebbels’ words, considering them to be so obviously preposterous that its sheer absurdity rendered any additional commentary redundant," and...really? If you are a moderator charged with flagging pro-Nazi commentary on Facebook, you have undoubtedly seen post after post after post after post of "obviously preposterous" Nazi propaganda that people not only take at face value, but cheer for and put on signs and organize rallies around. When a moderator comes across this particular Nazi propaganda posted as-is with no commentary, it's nice to believe that they'll think "ah, perhaps I should stop now and deeply research this man, and consider that he is a Russian academic who has written papers on German-Soviet interactions and conflicts leading up to World War II, which I should now read the abstracts of in order to determine where his personal sympathies might lie." But they won't. Because that's not really their job.
For what it's worth, I didn't say the world was not divided before the industrial revolution. I just said what lines it became divided along after it.

Before, because of the agricultural revolution, it was divided primarily along lines of land ownership and the familiar inheritance of that.
When I see this picture, I can't help but think that a drone strike on the palace at the right time would have gotten rid of a good chunk of the taliban leadership.
It depends on the storage pattern: archetype storages may actually keep those components together / interspersed anyway, or hybrid things like the "groups" in entt. It does, generally speaking, just seem to give you an opportunity to see this issue re: cache misses arise in practice and rearrange your storage accordingly, by decoupling your processing logic (body of a query) from the actual layout. Esp. if the ECS provides a switch like "store A and B interspersed in a single array" that you can enable or disable at any point and profile both ways (part of the data-oriented design idea: orient your data for how it's used in practice).
The interviewer asking the question and the person reading the résumé are not looking for the same information, and may often be entirely different people.
