The only exception is that, honestly, I'm not very familiar with the topic. I did try to mock the typical pseudo-tutorial articles, but I don't claim that I can do any better.

"The city’s police will make it among their lowest priorities to arrest or prosecute anyone engaging in activities"

[1] "[Lowest] priority to arrest" doesn't imply "legal". The state laws are still on the books and you can still be arrested. (Every policy has exceptions.)
[2] Police don't make prosecution decisions, DAs do.

You are correct, my bad. I misremembered.
The implicit assumption powering this is that programming experience from 35 years ago is not only irrelevant to today’s challenges, but undesirable due to having the wrong habits and patterns of thinking; this stands in contrast to surgery or management skills which are widely perceived to be more timeless with candidate value compounding with experience.

It’s plainly false for all sorts of reasons, but that’s the source of the disparity.

That sounds good, but my company measure your readiness for promotion by your dedication, and uses extra hours worked as a proxy for that.
What people haven’t grasped yet is you can’t fight the mob.

There’s no recourse, no appeal, no tribunal, no council of wise learned people you can go to when the mob sets out to destroy you.

You’re just simply fucked and have to accept you’ve been cancelled, your reputation is ruined and you’re “out”.

That’s all there is to it and no-one has come up with a solution.
That’s sort of the risk you take when using open source software in general. You can put in a PR to fix that edge case if you feel so inclined. In my experience the IRS can be surprisingly understanding about mistakes on your tax forms (ONCE you get a human on the line…).

The question is, do you think the potential penalty will cost more than the tax software? It comes down to managing risk, and some people may prefer to take the risk, especially if they have relatively simple tax situations.
That is what I am trying unsuccessfully to do. I made a sugestion the other day and did not write the code. He understood the idea but implemented poorly. When I asked why did he implement it that way, he said "it was your suggestion". I tried very very hard to not explode here...
They voted to reschedule it and other drugs to the lowest level of police priority. The drugs have to be “living, fresh, dried or processed plant or fungal material, including teas or powders.” I’d be curious how many arrests there are currently per year for psilocybin and other plant based drugs in Seattle? How significant a change is this?
How do you know the vaccine is safe to take after having recovered from infection? That has never been studied in a rigorous way, recovered individuals were excluded from the trials.

People keep bringing up these studies and links to research that was conducted before the Delta variant became dominant. Are you all simply unaware that it's not relevant anymore?
the Intel processor intrinsics are almost all completely broken. there are relatively good libm implementations, but packaging them is a nightmare, as is ensuring good performance across architectures. also in my experience, the Julia versions tend to have better performance.

As mentioned elsewhere in the this chat, I'm a 45 yo principal engineer at my current company who has seen nothing but an increase in attention from recruiters since turning 40.

I'm also directly involved in hiring for my team, having helped add 15 members over the last year, working directly w/ the director to review all resumes, handling maybe 30% of the screens, and usually the veto vote. We've interviewed a number of engineers in their 40s and 50s.

Experience is great and we're always welcoming of older devs... but there is a caveat. If that experience is tempered by a somewhat pessimistic attitude, which is often the case, there is rarely a chance to move forward. It's not being old - it's being worn out.

AFA the resumes of older devs, we often cut them out because they're an objectively terrible, wall of text mess that goes on for 4+ pages. Like 2/3 of the time this is the case.
Experience at that level is expensive and companies are less inclined to pay that much. They also are less likely to believe you'll be comfortable with taking a lower rate for a long duration. This is true for both CEO and high end programmer with decades of experience.
Most of the Catholics who are still 'practicing' that I know are fully outraged as well, and work to improve the lay boards and civil integration in legal processes.

The outcomes today are vastly different than 15-20 years ago. Priests being shuffled around quietly while a bishop settles with the family was a frequent occurrence just a couple decades ago. Nowadays that is suicide.

Sadly, not all parts of the Church/world are there, but at least in most corners of the US/Europe, it is that way. Incidence of abuse has been extremely curtailed, and all these studies showing the opposite are reaching back into the 50s-80s, where abuse was rife.
Not sure if its a good idea,

Email servers get hacked daily,
If you’re auto-sending payment to receiver , now there is an incentive for hackers , to spam themselves with your inbox and you pay out of your wallet for that.

Now, yes one could say, that’s no problem just have a multi-wallet approval method , so unless the second one approves, it wont.
But now that makes it a bit more complex, especially for newsletters where multiple recipients can be there.

Also, i just think overall
Paying to send emails is lame...
It sounds all cool and dandy, until it isn’t..

Getting spammed with newsletters from a writer ?
Unsubscribe (and if they still continue , mark as spam)

Having to pay to send newsletters, now just adds an extra step for new newsletter authors to fight against fraud , and constantly calculate if its worth it to send emails to a person, and when they’ll stop sending because of that. Pretty sure the receiver, wouldn’t be that much happy.

Nice idea though,
Who knows, a refined version of it might make sense.
When I was 18/19 I was well on my way to entering the seminary. I use to spend a lot of time with priests, I can't recall who it was, maybe my parish priest but I was told "priests don't become pedophiles, pedophiles become priests." That has stuck with me for quite a few years.
Life happens, you meet a girl, get married and have a baby.

When I look at my 5 year old son, it really screws with my head how anyone could want to harm children. I think as a Catholic I'm just disappointed/disgusted that the Church has failed all these kids for as long as they have. I'd probably kill the person that leaves my child with lifelong trauma.

I just wish society had enough balls to take on the Church's leadership. There's no real justice and I doubt we'll ever see anything meaningful done.
Automated testing and validation? Something like what the linked article says they have in place?

"To minimize impact on production traffic while achieving high release velocity for the BGP agent, we built our own testing and incremental deployment framework, consisting of unit testing, emulation, and canary testing. We use a multi-phase deployment pipeline to push changes to agents."
After a thousand threads on why tech hiring is hard, I don't think I need to re-hash that getting signal from noise is complex and imperfect. Out of the two signals, "this person was successful at 8 different companies" versus "this person stuck in one place for almost three decades", which do you imagine is going to get hired?

It isn't ageism, again go read the rest of this thread. It's the nature of making yourself an attractive candidate. If you don't care to play the game, you can't pout and cry "ageism" when you lose the game.
I think the uncertainty made it worse. Uncertainty is a common trigger for depression and malaise.
> That's the advantage of totalitarian control, and there are many, many people who are led by their inner totalitarian. These are the ones genuinely upset that their neighbors are making different trade-offs. For them, it's not that they can't buy durable glasses, but that someone, somewhere, is allowed to buy cheap glasses. That is what bothers them.

Perhaps, but I doubt it. More often people object to others making choices that have externalized costs. For example, vaccine resistors say mandated vaccinations are tyranny and make comparisons like yours to totalitarian regimes and fascism. They are told innumerable times that no, vaccination is about preventing the spread of disease, because if your "freedom" leads to sickness, it will quite likely both spread to others and burden the healthcare system that others depend on. The resistors don't even acknowledge the argument. If you attribute the positions of others to their inner evil, and ignore the arguments they actually make, you've got an easy, unfalsifiable argument that makes you the hero and the other the devil. Really the argument comes down to "you ain't the boss of me!"

This pattern is repeated ad nauseam. You're opposed to plastic drinking straws? Inner fascism! You don't like PFAS in the drinking water? Inner fascism! You don't like fishing methods that kill right whales? Inner fascism! You don't like tall trucks with spiked grills? Inner fascism! (Yes, this last one is facetious, but not far off.)

There are a lot of Potemkin arguments out there, positions people hold because the actual motivation for their positions are too ugly to bear public scrutiny. You can recognize these when people abandon their arguments without ever abandoning their goals. This means arguing against what others actually say is fruitless. It's like a bull charging a red cape. Nevertheless, ignoring their public arguments and accusing them of hidden evil intentions can never be your first strategy. They have to first demonstrate that they are arguing in bad faith.

It's also hard at 22 to get a good job. You fight for entry level wage work, no benefits, no options, vested to 3 years or 5 years. You have to fight hard at any age, though humans will obviously implicitly favor those of their own age and background, if given a choice.
How difficult would it be to wire in some of those modular mini nuclear power plants into a majority of sub-stations? I believe a lab in Idaho is working on a small nuclear power station. I've seen some articles on various countries working on modular power plants as well. One of the sub-stations near me has a solar panel field wired into it. Would a few constant megawatts at each sub-station should significantly reduce the overall load on the long-haul transmission lines?

"it's just yet another profession. No big deal".

Exactly, in Europe software engineering is just another profession, with pretty average compensation. Which is not exactly motivating.
It's definitely widespread. Having worked with it extensively in the past in a large company selling software to people who were still running Solaris in the early 2010s, I heard it constantly.
> It's absolutely possible for a 25-year-old to be a more experienced, more technically competent, and more mature than a 40-year-old.

It's also absolutely possible for a pig in a jetpack to fly past your window. Many unusual things are possible, but that doesn't make them any less unusual. In the vast majority of cases, older developers will have more experience and be more mature than younger developers.
Private Network Access update: Introducing a deprecation trial
It seems like the point of this is to reduce junk mail by forcing a financial cost to sending mail thereby causing the sender to really consider the content of their message before sending it—except there is a real cost associated with sending traditional mail and there is still a huge amount of garbage traditional mail sent out every day.

Maybe I’m missing the point, though?
> If asked to list three beliefs that matter to me, I might offer the following:

> 1. that my children’s happiness is far more important than their academic or financial success;

> 2. that women and men are equally moral and equally intelligent;

> 3. that most people are basically good at heart.

> I care that I believe these things. I want to be the kind of person who believes such things. I feel as though if I didn’t believe these things, it would be rather sad.

> I also feel like I am saying something true when I assert these propositions. When I pause to reflect on the matter, I feel sincere inner assent. I feel confident that these claims are correct. I explicitly and consciously judge them to be so. In other words, I intellectually endorse these propositions.

> On one view of belief, intellectual endorsement is sufficient for belief—or nearly sufficient, or sufficient in normal circumstances. If upon reflection I say “Most people are basically good at heart” with a feeling of confidence and sincerity, then that’s what I believe. My beliefs are, so to speak, written on the face of my intellectual endorsements. Let’s call this view intellectualism about belief.

> On another view, intellectual endorsement isn’t enough for belief. To determine whether I genuinely believe the propositions I sincerely affirm, we must inquire further. We must look at my overall pattern of actions and reactions, or at how I live my life generally. Do I in fact tend to treat my children’s happiness as far more important than their academic success? For instance, am I generally more heartened by signs of their emotional health than by their good grades?

> Similarly, in my day-to-day interactions with women and men, do I tend to treat them as intellectually and morally equal? For instance, am I as ready to attribute academic brilliance to a woman as to a man? If I do not generally act and react in a way that reflects the wise, egalitarian, uncynical vision that I proudly endorse in affirming propositions 1–3, then, on this second type of view, it’s not quite right to say that I really or fully have those beliefs. I might simply fail to have those beliefs. Alternatively, it might be best to describe me as being in a muddy, inconsistent, indeterminate, or in-betweenish state. Let’s call a view of belief pragmatist if it treats belief as behaviorally demanding in this way.

> In this essay, I will argue for a pragmatic approach to belief and against an intellectualist approach. I will argue that the pragmatic approach is preferable because it better expresses our values, keeps our disciplinary focus on what is important, and encourages salutary self-examination. It directs our attention to what we ought to care about most in thinking about belief: our overall ways of acting in and reacting to the world.

The title says decriminalize, not legalize. Decriminalize means that in effect (in practice) the police are busy enough that it is equal to it being legal, and this policy is official.

There's a difference between decriminalized on paper, and decriminalized in practice. In practice, something can be decriminalized even though it isn't official policy.

Such an official policy is still different from legal.

IIRC in Santa Cruz drugs like cannabis have been decriminalized for a long time this way (2005?). And probably other drugs as well.

Yeah, the website really makes it seem like that. Personally, I fully agree that it shouldn't be vendor bound at all (not even a mention). Along with that, I actually am somewaht using it on the bare metal.

> As for my generic opinion on the rest, ...

For me, the big draw to it is that it is f# from end to end (for the most part), and that in turn enables FP and type safety. This is, IMO, the 10x value proposition of it. Similar to how LISP and its dialects allow you to do MUCH faster dev cylces. And IMO it does "get out of the way"

> ... Does this do that?

Maybe? I lack the experience to give a qualified opinion on that.

I know that technical merit isn't really the biggest or even a big factor in adoption. I think of dang as almost uniquely qualified in regards to web stacks, as he also doesn't use one of the common ones. And so he may have a perspective on whether people would be likely to adopt it based on usability.

Because I know dang is busy, I added the part about replying if it isn't trouble for him.

Sorry, for this badly worded/thought out comment, I suck at English.
Based on what little I’ve read about his situation, and general academic conventions, I don’t think MIT should’ve cut the author’s speaking invitation.

When I studied for the Chartered Financial Analyst exams I tried to find out who got a job after the 3-year, 750 hr minimum commitment (GCP professional architect looks like a joke in comparison). EVERYTHING I read was positive.

Once I passed, I found a ton of people in the same boat as me - unable to find work in finance. No one wanted to admit it though.
I was a senior at my last 4 roles - IOW, I was a Sr. dev turning 40, and didn't get another higher level role until turning 43.

But yes, I have that experience in my background. I had my first principal role back when I was 32 (but prior to switching away from .NET development) and 2 other lead roles in my 30s.

At 52, that can be a good move, if that enterprise system will be around somewhere for the next ten years. Remote work makes it an even safer bet. During that time, he can devote more attention to his family, community, and hobbies, instead of trying to make sure he is employable by the maximum number of businesses. You only get paid for one job, no matter how many you're prepared for.
depends but I would say they would notice less, and would not have as strong reaction to it as they would if they had to write the check themselves.

We have history of this as well in the US, a prime example of this is property taxes. When a state raises the income tax rate there are a few grumbles but hardly anyone actively protests, however if property taxes go up people can be found literately in the street protesting because it causes their mortgage to go up (as most people pay property taxes via escrow with their lender)

This is direct payment of taxes monthly where the person received the money, then has to pay it out, has a vastly different psychological effect than if the money is seized before ever being received by the person

I maintain that the ONLY way the government can get way with the MASSIVE amounts of taxation everyone pays is for 2 primary reasons

1. Distributed collection
2. Automatic Collection

If either was not in place the government would have huge amounts of civil unrest because by an large most people would instantly recognized they are being fleeced by the government no different than a mugger on the street
