> Maybe it's because I'm a 20 something dev in Silicon Valley?

So, you don't like competing with older people? They say they hire young people too, so I'm not sure why else your age would have any bearing.

> Maybe it's because I don't trust anyone who calls themselves experts in anything?

Some people or organizations really are though. They exist. Google are experts on search. I don't think anyone could support an argument against that adequately.

> Maybe it's because I work with plenty of "older" devs in Silicon Valley?

How old? The author of the post chimed in above, and they're close to 60. Is that about what you were expecting, or quite a bit older?

> Or that I think the two-jobs-at-once hiring process is horrible?

That's not a requirement, that's a relaxation of a requirement that allows more people to try out. Think the person working a non-tech job or working a current consulting gig that will end soon as well as those looking to switch from a current full time employment. As long as those people don't have legal requirements requiring they don't work elsewhere, I'm not sure what's the problem with letting people manage their own time for this stage.
You're still making a very big claim without evidence.

Isn't that often the thing with conspiracy theorists? They always have a reason why they don't have evidence and somehow that means they can claim anything that they want.
Western Digital in Advanced Talks to Merge with Kioxia in $20B-Plus Deal
It would be quite tricky to outlaw.

It's perfectly legal to have "years of experience" requirement, so for example you could have a requirement of: "Communication with spoken language is a valuable part of the job. We require all applicants to have 35+ years of experience speaking one or more languages".

That's practically a requirement that you're 40/45+ without ever mentioning age.
As a 38 years old who has worked as a software developer since age 18...I'd say software developer salaries really plateau long before you're 60. You make "senior" after about 5-10 years of job experience, and not everyone makes principal or director (or CTO).

If Germany's eco-protesters are serious, maybe they should protest the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

From Wikipedia:

> Nord Stream has a total annual capacity of 55 billion m3 (1.9 trillion cu ft) of gas, and the addition of Nord Stream 2 is expected to double this capacity to a total of 110 billion m3 (3.9 trillion cu ft).

CO2 emission of natural gas is 53.12 kg per thousand cubic feet [1], so the additional 2.0 trillion cubic feet of Nord Stream 2 translates to ~106,000,000 tons of CO2 per year. Germany emitted 775,752,190 tons of CO2 in 2016, so it's a significant fraction of Germany's whole emission.

...Alternatively, they could go back twenty years and tell those anti-nuclear activists to shove it, but since time travel is impossible, I'll settle for not building more pipelines in 2021.

I used tickkl.com. It has lovely dashboard and calendar is color coded so you know the days you tracked and the days you skipped. Also gives possibility to automate some parts of your tracking. Downside I guess that it is not using google calendar api, not sure though they added it or not.
I think an even more interesting perspective is that they aren't the same thing, but they can be implemented in terms of each other.

"Implemented in terms of each other" is an important metric, and in math that's not an unreasonable definition of "the same thing after all", but in engineering I would say it's not. If nothing else, the different affordances offered by each matter quite a bit in practice. Even in math that's still true, honestly, although in a different way.

I think its absurd that apple stopped doing a lot of repairs in store, but still doesn't offer you a loaner computer imaged from yours. Clearly, people are using these computers for work.
That's still not illegal: it's breach of contract.

This article produced data to back up their assertion, I would be curious to see the data you're looking at that helps you make yours.
Yeah, I truncated the experience section and for education I removed the years of attendance.
I have both Mozilla Pocket and EInkBro on the BOOX.

My preference is to read in EInkBro.

Pocket's craptastic pagination is endless frustration.

(I still use Pocket to save/tag content. But for what's supposed to be an enhanced readability tool, it's increasingly insufficient.)
In my case, there is a definite nostalgic bias. I would have used the site near the start of my university studies in 1996. That said, I think there is a case for leaving it as-is. Many sites are designed to be accessible and palatable to students today, so there is some merit to maintaining the original style in case it addresses the needs of people who are not well served by modern sensibilities.
Yes, there is. Styx Browser on Fdroid has implemented it and also many other powerful features. Give a try, won't look back.
People like you always say you will pay but never do, not because of BS like selection but because you are cheap and will never pay for something you can steal. I dont even know why you'd pretend to be interested in paying.
I'd venture a guess that (especially in SV/venture tech startups in general) that bias also comes from young folks not having many/any external commitments, so may be easier to get to work longer hours - someone with a family probably can't pull a 60 hour week as easily as someone living in a microstudio with few other cares in the world, yeah?
Interesting.

My first thought after reading the title was: OnlyFans refrains from commiting suicide.
Ideally yes, but if the discrimination is there in the process (by recruiters/interviewers intentional or not) then that's hard to do. People will think they're 'ignoring age and filtering for competence' when they're not totally.

If you tell recruiters "this role can only be filled by someone 40+" it immediately forces that competence filter within those bounds. If there is a lot of under valued talent there that could be a strategic hiring advantage.

Obviously don't do this for all roles, but some age restricted 'tribal elder' roles or something for each team would be interesting imo.
The UX of the Matrix
Due to the large number of architectures and models churned out by AMD/Nvidia, when releasing drivers, they tend to concentrate on the performance of the latest and greatest cards, and throw a bone to the previous architecture. Older cards are absolutely neglected and may have perf regression after upgrading drivers.
There have been plenty of (mostly short-lived) competitors that paid out more per view than YouTube. But that's obviously meaningless if there are barely any viewers on the platform.

I agree that content ID is a necessary system in principle. Not legally necessary, but it's a system that solves real problems YouTube had before its existence. The problems with it are largely around YouTube heavily favoring recent content, while simultaneously having a support that takes weeks to even look at your case if you can't raise a twitter storm. They are trying to completely automate a problem that's full of subtlety and rife with abuse, and then don't give you any way to resolve it when it goes wrong. Other platforms don't have to choose the same path
I have had this issue on my previous 2015 MBP, and haven't had it on the 2018 device I now use, for what it's worth. The 2015 would also wake up from sleep (presumably for updates?) while in my laptop bag, so I resorted to doing a full shut down at the end of a work day.
Technology bolsters an economy for criminals. The internet created a whole new class of fraudsters, thieves, and extortionists.

They existed before the internet, after the internet, before crypto, and will continue to be around after crypto.
Perhaps it's me but I like to be able to edit articles and see discussions, and I haven't figured out how to do that from the mobile version.

“a continuous visible sonic boom”
You pulled that assumption out of nowhere. I said feeding a child.
I think the point is that people who are older usually fall in the "more expensive" side of the compensation curve: We expect a higher salary, we want more paid vacation and we are looking for more expensive benefits (paid family health plan instead of only personal).

I turn 40 this December; 20 years ago I got bought with just being able to get into a programming job (in the small town in La Paz, BCS Mexico), the fact that I was paid OK was good Vacations and all that extra stuff was just icing on the cake. I didn't care about the "retirement" things (in Mexico by law everyone gets "poor mans" version of 401k). 20 years later, darn I am sure I am WAY more picky than then.
Not only Americans, but any nation that had to fight for its independence. Having a foreign power rule over you -- for whatever perception of "foreign" -- creates a culture of "us against the state", instead of "our state".

Empirically, the 2016–2020 MacBook Pros seem to be relatively unreliable. My 2016 would frequently have wake-from-sleep problems, occasional kernel panics, and fried its logic board with a pop after about 3 years. My 2019 thermal-throttles every day, kernel panics a few times a month, and has a battery that just gives up under load.

Meanwhile my 2019 Mac Pro (tower) is probably the most rock-solid reliable computer I've ever used. Months of uptime, never has sleep/wake problems, and only one kernel panic in the 1.5 years I've had it.
> Sports alone are generally close to self funding

do the funds come from students fees?
I just replaced the battery myself in my 2012 macbook pro and I'm so happy with my battery life now, the replacement had a higher capacity than even the OEM (that apple no longer sells). A full charge with a top off during lunch lasts me a full day now. I've never seen this computer run for longer than three and a half hours, now it goes for double that.
I'm only 38 and I already do that (my first job as a developer was at age 18).
> it is predicated on the assumption that you can easily mangle pictures to NeuralHash-collide with a desired target picture (out of a set of widely circulating innocuous pictures) without deteriorating the visual content too much.

You can. Here is an example I created (with links to more): https://github.com/AsuharietYgvar/AppleNeuralHash2ONNX/issue...

I'm so tired of people suggesting that you can't. Please explain to me why you posted suggesting otherwise.

I've contemplated making some that are also photodna matches, I expect that it's possible. But access to photodna is only through some awful windows tools, and AFAICT people would just keep posting denials even after an example was posted-- so it's not worth the effort at least not worth it just to further the public discussion.
It just looks like a consulting gig with the potential offer of a job afterwards. If the rates are good and the offer is decently compensated, it's probably a fine way to recruit for what looks to be a highly specialised position.

Probably not going to get that many low-level postgres specialists with deep experience walking through the door. If the consultant feels good about the project then they've got the chance to stick around in the long term.
What company? So I can crawl on my knees begging them for a 3 day/wk job.

> Because the initial investment is so high you're practically forced to add extra Apple Care to protect it because there's a 20-30% chance you will have problems during those first years.

Here's the inverse argument: it's absolutely ridiculous I have to pay 20-30% extra for my Macbook even though I don't care about the mandatory 3-year warranty. They should let me opt out for a discount!

Well, they do.

> you're practically forced to add extra Apple Care

Are you really pro-freedom (see argument above), or just anti-Apple?
Were phone books voluntary back in the day? I can't remember, I was 10 years old.

Real estate records is a big problem. Back in the day they intended the use case to be "who lives at {address}" not "where does {person} live?".

But now thanks to #computers, all of the mappings have been brute forced and stored publicly online and are easily searchable in reverse. Why should it be that way? Keep in mind that in some jurisdictions I can't even defend myself legally against criminals.

Makes sense. What does 'prune' and 'tidy' instruct parser to do?
A lot depends on the local labor law. Here where I live (Poland and I guess same in the rest of EU), the outputs of your work which were not directly ordered by your employer or were not part of the job are not owned by the employer (and stating that in the agreement is not enforceable), even if done during working hours or done using employer's equipment. Of course you can get fired for doing a side project in the office or using the equipment without prior agreement, but you take your side-work with you.

The 2016 - 2020 Macbook Pros have been lemons, especially the 2016 - 2019 years

My 2018 had:

1) Catastrophic hardrive failure, just one month after the 1 year warranty. I lost everything (I had some back ups somewhere). This was a common issue with their controller, that failed, yet I still had to pay for it (later it was recalled).

2. Keyboard starting failing, with one shift key coming out completely, and some keys with registering repetitive/duplicate keystrokes and key fading.
I had to buy an external keyboard to use with it, and carry i with me.

3. The battery completely failed. To the point that can't hold on more than 1min without shutting down without power, turning basically into a desktop. I bought an external battery (Anker), which is the only way I can use it outside.

I don't want to send my laptop to fix these issues, as they will take a week or two, and I need my computer for work.

I am waiting for the new redesigned macbook pro coming out, and I will buy that, and send this for repairs. (the keyboard had a recall, and a free repair).

I thinking with the m1 laptops Apple is turning the corner, but it is risking to become like Alfa Romeo, or Land Rover brand. Building beautiful machines, and with poor reliability and that break down randomly and expensive to maintain.
Younger people have more to prove, have nothing to lose, have no understanding of the politics of work - all that makes it easier to "extract more" from them - in particular new grads, who are "blank slates" you can train to your culture very easily.

This may sound very cynical, but it's literally how big consultancies (not only in tech) define their hiring strategies - PwC being one of the prime examples, where new hires already come in expecting to have a bad and underpaid experience, in exchange for a strong label in the CV
That's simply not true, because /r/gonewild are extremely strict about not allowing OF creators. They can post under a seperate account but any mention of they're main account or OF results in a swift permanent ban.

I worked at a very small company where HR was directly reporting to the CFO (who was gunning for CEO and trying to also spawn his own grandiose IT projects). Our DBA made his negative opinions known in the midst of a data warehouse project sponsored by the CFO. This triggered Mr. Pointy Hair CFO and put the DBA on his shit list.

One day the DBA casually submits a query to HR asking "what is my package if I quit?" The HR director immediately runs to the CFO and tells him about the question posed by the DBA. The CFO flips his shit and is quoted as screaming something about wanting him fired immediately. We just had a change in management and the new CIO wasn't having it. He just ignored the CFO. It didn't end there. Over the next six months the CFO plodded on and eventually got the DBA fired...though the DBA was not trying to smooth anything over. He went to HR a second time to ask about his package. LOL.

So I say "The threat of vaccine resistance is real and acknowledged by many experts" and provide citations to support this claim - then you reply:

> This isn't a point against the vaccine [...] and doesn't support the anti vax argument

You're attacking a straw man with an overly simplistic reductionist interpretation. I'm not "against the vaccine", but clearly your bias here is to defend vaccination and disregard any nuanced criticisms from experts at top institutions as "anti-vax".

I won't continue to discuss this with you because it's obvious you don't intend to cultivate an informed discussion.
All of the above. That's why I am no longer interested in working for anyone else.

They can also be fairly insulting in tone. I guess us oldsters are too "thin-skinned" for today's hyper-competitive world. We make unreasonable demands, like being treated as humans. We're supposed to ignore mortal insults. Maybe it's just like a hazing ritual, where we are supposed to prove we are willing to abase ourselves for the corporation.

Work environments are also completely centered around the needs and desires of younger folks. In many cases, it's not deliberate, but these are companies that are run by people in their twenties, and staffed by people in their twenties, so the sample population is a bit...homogenous. Perks are designed to entice younger folks (like hiking and skiing offsites, no weekends, Friday night happy hours and pub crawls, free beer and food, open-plan, "hip" offices, Urban locations, T-shirts, no short-term disability, etc.).

The recruiters are just plain rude. They ghost me, almost immediately after finding out that I'm older than 35 (a lot older). Very different, from when I used to look, before my last job.

The LeetCode tests are "Young-Pass Filters." They generally cover topics that people fresh out of college would nail, and I know that many engineers spend countless hours, practicing LeetCode (maybe while they are supposed to be writing non-leet code for their employers). How do I know it? Because I keep getting notifications, when they post their results on LinkedIn and other places.

I've learned that if I see a binary tree test, I might as well look elsewhere.

I have been writing shipping code, since 1987. I seldom encounter the neat little problems that I see in whiteboard tests. Just yesterday, I was dealing with some weird threading/memory leak issues; and those are a blue-assed bitch to debug (spoiler: I fixed them). Every single day, I have big, nasty problems that need to be fixed, and every single day, I fix them; often by designing good, robust, high-quality frameworks, modules, and applications. Device I/O problems are fun, too.

The most unfathomable thing, is people directly and unapologetically, ignoring my portfolio. I have a big one. Real big. I know that it isn't that special, because I see bigger and more impressive ones, all the time. There's a lot of really talented, experienced developers, with years of work, open to perusal.

These folks are looking to hire critical-path talent, responsible for the lifeblood of their products, pay us six figures, and then they deliberately ignore resources that could tell them more about us than twenty hours of interviews. People could make the "hire or ignore" decisions, simply by reviewing the portfolio. They wouldn't even need to call me on the phone, or let me know they were interested, in any other way. Complete stealth.

But, like I said, I'm not particularly interested in rejoining the "rat race." This forced me into an early retirement, and I'm fine with that. I work harder, these days, that I ever did, and it's a joy.
HPC courses can be pretty good for that.

We don't deserve a higher salary because we are older. "Respect your elders" is a very cultural thing. We should "respect" all people the same. We should "respect" (acknowledge) people that do things worthy of respect.
I went to an Apple authorised service centre in India to repair an iPad screen that was not broken but was not displaying properly. I was told that Apple in India doesn't repair iPad at all. If it is under warranty, they just replace it. Otherwise you are out of luck as no replacement parts are available! Obviously, I wasn't impressed at all.

On the other hand, Intel once replaced a CPU for me (out of warranty) for free (they shipped it from Singapore to India). It was an old CPU (5+ years) and I never thought they would respond to my complain about it.

When one of my Western Digital HDD conked out under warranty, Western Digital asked me if I wanted the replacement drive shipped from the US (as I had purchased it there, and they had a newer model which they offered) or from India (where I was at that time, and had the same model in stock).
I started at 31 or about a decade ago. Never managed to get past a single 20 something with the power to hire people. Not a single time.

On the bright side, I never had to deal with the environment that breeds such young know it alls. These places usually pay very little and simply inflate positions. Trust me, as an old geezer, you don't want to be on a team of 21 olds. Especially if some of them will have power over you
