Well one or two of his books specifically have characters who care a lot about those things and its a defining characteristic of them and its also a commentary on society and the obsessiveness of brands. Very similar to American Psycho but with a little more nuance.

Receiving education isn't about learning. At least not primary. It's about getting a piece of paper at the end.

Public libraries and free internet resources are one argument in this direction. Another: professors are usually more than happy for you to sit in on lectures, even if you don't pay any tuition.

> you can quickly run out of banks

Not that individual depositors get a say, but isn't this (the consolidation of banks to relatively few players) the larger source of risk?

In the US, my understanding is that there are a lot of small local banks, but that they are all dependent clients on a much smaller number of larger banks. If I go to my local credit union, I don't think I have a straight-forward way of knowing which mega-bank they depend on, if any. If "per-bank" limits are meant to spread out risk, isn't this undermined by consolidation? Or do I misunderstand the structure of mutual dependence between banks?
Most highly educated knowledge workers also get stock options, which at best compensates them for business success, but at worst can trick workers into thinking that the business’ interests are the same as their interests.

I think there’s a persuasive story to be told about the slow change of how startup options work and the changing mood of the tech scene.

Pffftttt "hardware acceleration" of features we literally never wanted. We don't even have the freedom to buy computers that aren't "enriched" with this junk.
An old habit of mine: Avoid symbol-speaking or abbreviation-speaking. I verbalize "fn" as "function" and "mut" as "mutable" the same way I verbalize "std::unique_ptr" as "standard unique pointer" and not "stid unique pooter".
It was not a good word choice. Cooperative speaking means both sides have to be cooperative, and hijacking and loading well known terms is not cooperative.
Where did I say, or even hint, that the entire aerospace industry is unsafe?

What I did say, is that this approach seems remarkably similar to the process that is both partially credited with the 737 Max issues, and one of the reasons some other countries' regulators refused to trust the FAA's later decisions regarding that plane.

> You're talking about a lapse in safety relative to an industry that is 2nd only to Nuclear power in doing no harm.

Yes, and that’s why when evaluating the use of a safety process in one, it is both relevant and interesting to look at the impact some conceptually similar process had on the other's safety record.

Would your perception about the org, team and self really change if you would get promoted?

If that's the case, then you could try to promote yourself. Especially, now that you've got a concrete result. It's just to show openly to the org and team that the promotion is what you want.

UnifiedAR | Full-time | North America Account Manager | Remote
https://www.unifiedar.com/

At UnifiedAR we’re making Interactive Print (Augmented Reality) easy for our Print and Agency partners, providing a simple SaaS platform to help with their product extension.

Our growth comes from the success of our Partner channel, so we need an Account Manager to support our new and existing North American partners with Induction, Capability, and Performance. This is a non-technical role, and we’d love Print or Agency experience, so this is perfect for any HN lurkers (like me) who love tech but aren’t coders or engineers.

You’ll be learning from our leadership and investor team based mostly in Australia and Asia, so will have plenty of autonomy to solve problems and test your client-supporting ideas in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80-120k

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied clients.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as sane working hours.

We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, apply at https://spacelift.recruitee.com/ or email me at magdalenaw at spacelift dot io!

Loser mindset
Low interest rates rather increase wealth than decrease it. Except for cash, almost all other assets increase with low interests such as stocks, real estate etc. So the wealthy generally get more with low interest rates and not the other way around. Probably also one of the reasons why it is so difficult for central banks and politicians to decide to increase the interest rates although it's most likely badly needed.
It is different, and is a great project. At the end of the day, with that strategy, you still end up with two compilers, not one single compiler, and some folks are attached to "we use this single compiler to build our entire base system." You also have to then continue the bootstrap chain to get up to current rustc, and I think folks hope that this project will track upstream more closely.

I also don't think that because it compiles to C it automatically supports all of the platforms gcc does, but I haven't personally investigated that because I don't have any of that exotic hardware.

EDIT: oh yeah and the project itself describes this stuff here https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Ques...
I did say - "I agree it's a solid pattern to add, just not really impactful for me."

I'm not at all against having it there, I even call it out as a positive addition. Just not one, I, personally, found as transformative as the things I called out. There are other things that are -nice- in Elixir, the pipe symbol, revamped standard libraries, etc, but they didn't change the experience for me the same way.

Strings in Erlang are a pain point. Lack of a standard build tool (and thus using things like rebar3 and the like) is a pain point. Lack of macros wasn't a pain point, but it did enable new approaches, so I would consider it transformative.

Task? Task is nice syntax sugar, but it's not solving a pain point or enabling anything new coming to Elixir from Erlang (which, as you may note, was the point of this thread). I'm not dismissing it, it -is- a nice addition, and just like Registry having a standard approach is a benefit, but it just isn't nearly as impactful.
This is exactly the thing I'm talking about. Because python allows everyone to install everything into some virtual environment, everyone just grabs the latest version available and puts it into their requirements.txt without checking if that version is even required and never updating that version again.

They then say they need virtualenvs to solve that problem.

The funny thing is the same people who do this then turn around and complain about some instability because some c library changed their API after 10 years.

I've got a weird "can't do what apparently most people can do" one and have wondered if it is genetic.

I can't walk while urinating. If I've started urinating and realize that I should be standing a little bit farther forward or back or to the side I have to stop, move, and restart.

I asked once on some other forum if others have the same restriction and everyone claimed they can easily walk while urinating.
A bunch of tools I work with have recently adopted Meson - things like qemu and libvirt. It's obviously better than autotools, but almost anything is. It also generates Ninja files which makes very parallel builds by default, which is great. Some downsides: I really don't like the configuration. I think using a (sort of) general purpose imperative language was probably a mistake. (Either go all-Python, or do something declarative). I also really dislike out of tree builds and wish it just let you do an in-tree build. So for me it's a mix of good and bad, with the parallel performance being the best thing.

Multiple accounts on German invoices do not necessarily result from "tricks" to avoid negative interest.

Sometimes they result from a time where it took several bank working days to process a money transfer between different banks. Having bank accounts at banks with large customer bases (e.g. Sparkasse, Postbank, ..) allowed for quicker money transfers from these customer to the company. A customer could choose any of these bank accounts to settle the invoice.

Of course, a company could and can also have bank accounts not disclosed on an invoice.

Edit: Also note, that negative interest especially for major "online" banks just became a thing in Europe recently. Therefore, I think it is not only Entrepreneurs who redistribute their assets to avoid negative interest eating up their savings in addition to inflation, but also normal people.

I've only taken laterals internally at my company. It's always due to the stack switching. It would be nice to stay with a stack and become an expert.
I grew up using their experimental web browser for some of my first internet experiences. I got my first Kindle in 2010 when I was 11, signed up for Twitter on it when it still had the cloud background.

It used to work great for almost the whole internet. Not being able to open links that opened in a new tab was a big annoyance, it just refused with an error message.
I have been to a few in the last decade. I picked up some Atari joysticks pretty cheap. I wasn't in the market for too many things, but there were lots of things to be had. You almost have to go there with a list of things that you have in mind. I primarily wanted to get a very large high voltage variable capacitor for a decent price, but I actually found out that everybody wants that and they go for a regular price most everywhere. I did see some vintage computer stuff going for a hefty price, but really not much vintage computer stuff really.
Your mileage may definitely vary, especially based on what kind of team you're in.

Senior SWE at a small company was significantly less responsibility than Senior SWE at Google. As a Senior at Google, I was doing almost everything you say a "small company" Senior does, aside from DBA work and sales calls.

I suppose if you're just a cog in the machine of some huge org like Ads or Search you might be right, but a smaller product team might look a lot more like a small company than you might realize. There is a lot of extra overhead of various sorts, but I wouldn't say the responsibilities are significantly less.

Wingback | Senior Rust Backend Engineer | Full-Time | REMOTE | Salary: $100k + bonuses | https://wingback.com

We are Wingback, a new startup building the infrastructure needed to make it easier for anyone in the future to build and grow a SaaS product. If you worked for a SaaS startup before, the chances are high that you got asked to build a custom pricing plan with a custom feature set for one specific client at some point. If so, you probably hated the task and no one in your team wanted to work on it either. Wingback makes it possible that developers won’t ever have to do that again.

We are looking for experienced engineers who want to join our freshly formed team. My co-founder and I have already built and exited a startup from zero to a team of dozens of engineers and $1m+ in revenues in the in the past, so you can expect things to run (mostly) orderly from the beginning. We are planning to ship the first basic version of the product in just a few months (ambitious but possible) and will pay extra for everyone who helps us make that happen. After that you can stay on for the future if we fit well together, but there are no hard feelings if you see it as a one-off project either.

Since I posted last time, we have already hired a great core team on 5 continents!

yes, I don't think folks appreciate how many people have made fortunes very recently. When Forbes first made their billionaire list in 1987, the counted 140 around the world.

Today, there are 228 billionaires around the world with fortunes greater than $10 billion, and 1299 worth at least $2.4 billion, which is the current value of $1 billion 1987 dollars.

Most of this is due to the explosion of capital markets, lower interest rates, and a huge part of the global economy freeing up. It's not because they made a bunch of other people worse off.
How are they employed in the high tax state, then?
