You’ll find a lack of social intelligence in the entire age range, but younger candidates seem to get more of a pass than older ones (or perhaps because the senior candidates have more rope to hang themselves with). Over negativity about past employers is indeed a warning sign (though some negativity is fine, like if you ask the question “what did you dislike about your past employer? “), but pessimism in small quantities shouldn’t be taken as an automatic negative. I would definitely be suspicious if all the opinions a senior candidate had were positive. If they can’t list the bad as well as good about some tech, they probably don’t really understand it.
I'm referring to the US media - they covered it very differently from the French media.
>facing mild criticism from your peers

Demanding that someone loses their job seems a bit more than mild and quite mobbish.
Would you not agree?
The weirdest thing about this proposal to me is that it picks the use case where the proposal is backwards. If someone is receiving a valuable newsletter they actually want to receive, the recipient ought to be paying for it. Senders would need to be paying for emails that people don't want.

If newsletter senders are paying to send out they're going to have to then have some sort of separate charging mechanism from the recipients to get them to compensate the sender.
Agism isn't about cognitive ability.

Agism isn't about younger developers somehow being better than older ones.

Agism is about taking advantage of younger workers.

Agism is about discrimination.

Agism is about money.
> Trait curiosity gets you almost nothing: no better learning outcomes, no better performance, and no better recall (in complex problem solving anyway; results are sometimes different in trivial pursuits

May it be, that positive outcomes of curiosity as a trait are beyond what you are measuring? For example, I learned a lot about how organizations work, because I was curious often why some organization failed to do something, or how it managed to do something where other failed. I had no idea at first what it means to go to Moon from organizational point of view, but when some managed to do it while other failed, I became curious. This curiosity led me to learn a lot about management on many examples, and often I found something to think about when I least expected it. Like I read some random news article and it mentioned some difficulties which organization faced. And my curiosity at first was not directed at management, though with time the direction shifted, now I curious how organizations work even when it have nothing to do with Moon.

When you have a lot of unanswered questions in your head, then almost everything counts for something to one of these questions.

> I don't believe there is a way to boost your state (task) curiosity. I'd also be skeptical that you can boost your trait curiosity.

Operant conditioning? Eat a cookie every time you've found a curios question, googled it and found an answer. Wouldn't it work? I believe it would boost the trait. I'm not sure about the state curiosity.

> I would genuinely be interested in knowing what you, dear reader, think curiosity really is.

I think, that we need first to separate curiosity as a behavior and curiosity as a trait of mind. As a behavior curiosity is anything from your list: desire to gain knowledge, or to see if you are right or wrong, or testing existing hypotheses, and so on.

Curiosity as a mind trait is an urge to pull a dangling thread. When you see a question without a clear answer, you feel desire to answer it. Some people do not see questions, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are not curious, their curiosity is just triggered less often. Some people see questions, but do not behave as curious, either because they are not curious enough (they lack curiosity), or they invent some answer that doesn't really answer anything (like "why this happened"? "because of magic"). These magic answers, I believe, is the result of untrained curiosity. People feel urge to answer question, but they cannot find a way to use their urge for constructive purposes, so they do something to stop their urge bothering them.

>And if several people need to be able to boot a shared computer, they need to share the disk encryption password (which isn't winning any security awards).

At least with LUKS you can have multiple passwords for unlocking a disk so you can have one master password and user password(s) for the same machine.

Having to enter two passwords doesn't seem like a big issue for high security HW like a CEO's laptop. In fact that's standard procedure at my company.

The dig at capitalism is a bit puzzling since this may be the perfect setting to demonstrate the principles of capitalism. Let them deploy their capital and see how market responds. Their theory is that "sending an e-mail should cost something". Maybe that cost is $2.30 per message, and maybe its $0.0000000023 per message. Either way its their capital at stake.
I'm having trouble getting Siri to even understand me. I have a HomeKit scene called "Apartment lights off" (it turns off all the lights in the apartment surprisingly enough) and I often ask Siri to apply that scene. The amount of times Siri completely misunderstands me for something strange baffles me.

"Upon lights off – Sorry, I don't understand."

"Obama lights off – Sorry, still don't get it."

Sometimes it just picks up the "lights off" part, prompting me "Which room?" And when I say "Apartment lights off" again, Siri will then reply with "Sorry, I can't find that scene in the current home." At that point, I need to close the Siri prompt and do it again. If Siri understand me that time, then I will actually get that scene applied.

Exactly. Working around the operations needs of the business and communicating availability to set expectations can suffice in some scenarios where five 9s are not required.
> It wasn't a personal attack.

Either way, spinning the debate to try to focus it on the messenger instead of the message is not a productive or honest way to debate a subject. We should try our best to keep the signal/noise ratio up, specially in topics so prone to disinformation.
It happens again repeatedly later in the presentation. Along the way, they teeter on the edge of sleazy "want to know the secret" tactics.

Thesis is that a company needs brand building in addition to pay-per-performance. If you're interested in that message and can endure what amounts to a client pitch that they know how to help the little guy compete on brand building against the larger incumbents, then you might like the presentation. I suspect most here will find it to be a waste of their time.

The author case is somewhat special because he is more accomplished that the average senior dev.

But in the general case the problem occurs because software development is seen by those in power as factory/production work. For most companies we are expensive factory workers. And factory workers rarely get hired past 35 and rarely survive past that age unless there is an union involved.

My experience is in an offshore market in South America. I guess in other countries the situation is different.

This has to be the most sensible thing. The UK used to say that "tax doesn't have to be taxing", very pithy but then I tried to make a zero return for a dormant company and had to use some horrific software from the HMRC (tax office), which was some weird XML thing that was impossible to understand.

If the government had to make the software we all had to use, as well as it being free, it would force the government to consider the cost of modifications when they decide in their infinite wisdom that some new tax-break should be created.

But what is state of the art? My interviews since 2013 have let me know that Perl is not any good as a language. Perl is bad and programmers who use Perl are bad. If I describe my experience in the industry from 1993 to 2003 which involved lots of Perl in the abstract then it often sounds good in interviews, but if I describe that experience as having been steeped in Perl then it is a huge, useless turn off.

The problem is that the state of the art in programming is whatever is shiny and new and often unnecessary. Lots of employers are hiring for Kubernetes experience when they absolutely do not have enough demand for their services to justify messing around with Kubernetes, but it doesn't matter. They also don't have the patience and depth to bother listening to some old person explain in detail why Kubernetes is the wrong tool for them and a waste of resources.

Corporate programming has become all about idols and mystery such that Perl has been cast out and Kubernetes is pure awesome no matter how irrelevant. As long as some old person can suck up to confused young people about what counts as cool code and frameworks then they might count as up to date with the current state of the art. And with this the unfortunate reality emerges that for older and experienced contributors starting a company is becoming as easy or easier than actually getting a job.
> After a stint like that, anyone would be unhireable

I've been with my current employer for 4 years, and all going well I'll stay with them until retirement (I'm almost 50 now, so another 15-odd years). The pay is good (for where I live), the work is varied and mostly interesting. It'd seem a bit crazy to jump ship just in case they take against me at some point in the future, no?
You might wanna consider avoiding all VTE based terminals (includes GNOME termina) on Linux because VTE development is spearheaded by GNOME developers. They're almost always guided by their "every preference has a cost" philosophy so don't expect any decent changes happening to VTE.

Here's another explanation why VTE based terminals are best avoided.

Below is a quote from the press release we are discussing:

> In the 1960s, he led the development of physical models of the Earth’s climate and was the first person to explore the interaction between radiation balance and the vertical transport of air masses. His work laid the foundation for the development of current climate models.

As far as I understand (I am not a physicist), you're right: climate is not new, and climate models have been getting better for decades. And that's (in part) because of this guy's work, half a century ago. It sure pushed the boundaries of physics at the time, didn't it?

Is the online course market not over saturated with LinkedIn Learning, Pluralsight etc

The market is saturated with computing-related courses aimed mostly at beginners (programming languages, software tools etc). Despite that, there is still space for well-structured, well-narrated (scripted or semi-scripted) courses with clear instruction aimed at beginners, intermediate and advanced users.

An expert in a subject is not necessary a good teacher. This is why the course quality on Udemy varies enormously. It's also why, for example, so many programming courses follow the bullet-point slides and voiceover template. There are so many more imaginative ways to teach online - but that takes more time and effort.

Udemy also encourages long courses because it gives users the impression of depth or breadth of content (and thus better value-for-money). This is why so many courses are 10, 20, and even 30+ hours - even though length is not a marker of quality.

I'm sure many readers on Hacker News have already seen the link below which is a parody of programming tutorials. (And which applies equally to free and paid tutorials.)

You don't have to be smart do to this.

You just have to find some tools and services that are "fire and forget."

This is what I do:

1. All my working files are in my Dropbox account (or my corporate Dropbox account). I did this initially to support working off two machines interchangeably, but the fact of the matter is that this creates an easy versioned backup of your "live" files. Nowadays, my Dropbox is fully mirrored on TWO backup computers here in my office (ie, a spare machine and an old machine).

Setup Effort: Minimal.
Ongoing Effort: Almost zero.

2. Because I use a Mac, I have Time Machine. It's glorious and can save your butt. It's the ONLY of these mechanisms I've ever had to use at scale (after a break-in and a stolen laptop). It worked flawlessly. Use it if you can. Every year or so, I get a new TM drive and archive the old one.

Setup Effort: VERY Minimal.
Ongoing Effort: Zero.

3. I also use Backblaze for offsite backup security. I happen to live on the gulf coast, so major storms are a concern, but there's probably some house-eating danger wherever YOU live.

Setup Effort: Moderate.
Ongoing Effort: Minimal.

4. Finally -- and this is the only part that needs actual action -- periodically I take a full image backup of my main machine's drive and archive it.

Setup Effort: Moderate.
Ongoing Effort: Moderate.

I keep my newest image and my last TM drive in someone else's house, too, but that MAY be paranoia.

Personal anecdote: I'm 29, and while I've spent most of my 20s striving to look older (via style, haircut, facial hair, etc)...something flipped this year and I can't help but want to look younger. Could be because my first kid was born this year, could be because I'm approaching that mythical "30" so many young folks dread, or it could be unspoken age-related pressures about the industry we work in. I'm not sure, but it's funny how obvious and suddenly it happened.

At least in the early 90s, most of the support programs on the commercial unixes were ancient BSD stuff from 10 years previous and just sucked. No command line editing, limited functionality, etc. This is why GNU became so incredibly popular. From the top of my head

- GNU tar did compression in one step with the "z" flag, native tar did not

- gzip compressed produced smaller compressed files than "compress" did, was usually faster, and understood stuff compressed via the vendor compress.

- gdb was much more usable that dbx or adb

- gcc was free, and supported much newer standards than the vendor compiler. And you had a much better shot at compiling stuff you found on the web without tweaking Makefiles to adjust compiler flags.
As someone living in the United States and earning much more than I would in my home country, even though my professional contribution would be the same if the same opportunities existed in my home country (I took my PhD in my home country), there is no comparison between the quality of life I have in the country I currently live in and my home country given the expected local salary - setting aside loved ones, friends, and memories.

If a two-bedroom apartment goes for 200k and after taxes what I have is 25k or so, my financial situation, considering kids, car(s), aging parents and what we call life, would certainly not be one of unquestionable success.
