Mine certainly does. One quarter of my ancestry comes from an area of Lancashire which had three wealthy families -- the Cleggs, the Mercers, and the Taylors. Those three families intermarried almost exclusively from ca. 1400 until ca. 1850.
Thank you. This is some great insight.

The premise of your question is not a certainty. Whether and how much of a price increase occurs depends on how much of a margin there is, and what price points are being targeted. If a widget costs $3 to make and sells at $10, then increasing the production costs to $5 may only change the profit, and not the final price. If a widget costs $9.50 to make and sells for $10, then the same $2 increase in per-unit production price would increase the price.

Which scenario we're in depends on the industry, but overall I don't trust the rhetoric of costs always being passed down to society as a whole, because it works to undermine any labor gains.

This is too simplistic. Progress is not inevitable. There is no guarantee that the objective being optimized by the JavaScript Community(tm) is necessarily a better one than before.

Churn can easily be driven by fashion as much as what you call “progress.”
I think the problem I'm having here is that all your terminology is open-ended and subjective. Terms like 'better off' 'happier' 'healcare advancements' are not measurable. It may be possible to answer your own question by reversing the thought. Like, will our dystopian future be caused by our attemp to fight climate change and can that dystopia be mitigated with the use of technological advancements?

In Scandinavia, which is nearly as potato-heavy as Ireland, turnips were a primary staple crop before the potato came around, so much so that in much of the world the rutabaga, a large version of the turnip, is known as a "swede". I would be surprised if this was not the case in pre-1600s Ireland as well.

FWIW, in nearby Scotland "neeps and tatties" (turnips & potatoes) is still the canonical accompaniment to haggis.
A photo service is just somebody else who owns printers and charges you a markup. If you print one-off photos of decent quality, probably going to be RA-4, inkjet, or dye sub. This is true whether or not you own the printer yourself.
Good luck running society without professionals. how do you propose to distinguish the best from the not so best of the labor class, if to just call them to do overtime because the others didn’t show up for work. And who will call them to show up to work ? Or who will decide where to work and what to do ? Oh , why does anyone have to work. Good point. Never mind.
> businesses increase costs to meet the new cost of labor requirements

These strikes, more often than not, are happening at larger firms (e.g., incumbent monopolies like John Deere, Kelloggs, Nabisco, etc.) with much larger profit margins. They would sooner wear the costs and pay lower dividends than hurt their competitive margin. But I do take your point that small-to-medium sized business take the brunt of top-down government policy changes like a minimum wage increase, and this can hurt competition.
My current job just gave me a double digit raise out of the blue recently. To be fair 2 of the 5 engineers on my time had quit recently. But still, the smart companies are giving raises before people strike or quit.
No, I got that. And I simply strongly disagree.

There are lots of people who have reasons for not having any "experience" coming out of school due to external time constraints.

Single mothers, for example, have it particularly hard. Any single mother who manages to drag herself through a CS degree has so much persistence that she can definitely do your job.

As I point out, many students with hard time and money constraints try to compress the time to get their degree. The best way to do that is to take heavy course loads with no summer breaks and not do employment.
This may be the most interesting response I have ever gotten on HN, and I have seen some doozies.

If the energy comes from a clean source, what does it matter? I think Dorsey believes that if there were cost effective mining equipment that requires little maintenance and is simple to maintain, you'd be able to use it in places that have abundant cheap and renewable resources. The cheapest forms of power are likely the ones that are going to go to waste anyway. Sure you'll still bid up the price you consume, but that's the point of the difficulty adjustment. The more valuable the network, the more valuable prize for a 51% attack. So you have to rely on market forces to ensure the network remains secure

Yup it would just not be worth it to bring real VS to macOS. Then why decrease its brand value by marketing a crappy product like Xamarin (which I think has always been bad, and I honestly don't know why MS bothered to buy it) as if it was VS? Just call it Xamarin, or VS "lite", or anything, but not VS as it is not VS.

I'm fifty and am full-stack in whatevers with a side of devops/architecting. I frequently have to walk into a room and in less than thirty minutes figure out what the hell is going on, how I'm going to add value, communicate that to the stakeholders and then deliver. People seem to dig it.

Author of Robust Python here: I definitely recommend Fluent Python as well once the 2nd edition is available. I wrote Robust Python to focus very much on how to write Python in a long-lived codebase and how to do trade-offs for readability/maintainability/testability/etc. It also covers a lot of things outside of standard built-ins (such as acceptance testing, mutation testing, pydantic, type checkers, etc.). I find Fluent Python to be more focused on more of the built-ins, and I think it might cover some of the performance trade-offs you might be looking for.

Long story short : I think both have a lot of value (but beware I'm quite biased on Robust Python)
Seneca, Moral Letters 16.2
A lot of unorganized thoughts:

- I really didn't like that seniority equates to creating value in this article. I knew junior engineers who could have code circles around way more senior.

- Comparing Bootcamps with CS degree is also leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Bootcamp is usually much shorter and very narrow. CS is longer and much broader. Software engineering became complicated enough to require some breadth (even junior engineers need to have some understand of SDLC, source control, language, main framework and couple of other things).

- On another hand, I agree, everybody wants senior people, because senior (+good) engineers create way more value than junior (and unproven).

- I think for junior engineers who don't come from the top schools it would be hard to get into a pipeline of hotshot companies. However, why do we concentrate on FAANG as a first employment opportunity? The first company where I worked had 5 people and a dog and a tiny salary. It didn't stop me from finding the next company and gradually getting to a decent place.

- If I was in junior engineer shoes, I would try to find absolutely non-glamour company (big old consulting company, something small and local, government, etc, and apply there). Get a couple of years of experience and after, expand the search to include better companies.

Also, I would challenge the core premise of this article, looking for Junior Software engineer, I got around 700 open positions and searching for senior, I got about 900.

Agree. I always suspected that Daniels are everywhere with the fact that few people wish to talk seriously about software, instead preferring to talk about fashionable software.

Bob also speaks highly of teaching developers to design software well. This is unpopular right now, we prefer to believe that tools alone are all we need.
"it's just that "fine art" got a free exception for nudity for reasons that I've never seen adequately explained but are almost certainly to do with class."

Because otherwise art is impossible.

If you are a painter, and you need to draw people, you learn to draw naked people because you need to learn how human anatomy works, where various muscles and wrinkles are. In your careers you won't be just asked to draw dudes in T-shirts, you will have to draw or animate people in various clothes and state of dress or undress, torn clothing, gladiator games, etc.

There is great deal of knowledge that they actually have to learn, how to draw realistic deltoids in different body positions, or under stress to show that a person is putting in a great effort to support a great weight, or is in a fight. A drawing by a great artist should make a medical professional happy.

That's why they hire nude models to stand around in various posses, and they aren't all pretty, some of them are old people because they have to learn how to draw wrinkles and old skin.

I know that with telecommunications, there are a bunch of companies here in Australia that are bringing call centres back on shore just because non-native speakers make so many mistakes with their data entry that it's not worth the cost of fixing it.
>A common mistake I see Java developers make is, when they know they'll be inserting n items into a HashSet or HashMap is to initialize the structure with a capacity of n.

The common mistake is using the c-tor allocating N size. The c-tor does way more harm than good. Most HashMaps in Java have few elements with tons of empty array space, many of them are pre-allocated to quite large sizes too. (At the very least nowadays the empty c-tor doesn't immediately allocate the Node[], so empty HashMaps are ok).

One of the strengths of HashMap is that resize/rehash is extremely fast/efficient and it doesn't dereference the keys (i.e. no hashCode/equals called). It doesn't reallocate Nodes, etc.
Well, that's convenient. Whenever companies do things I disagree with and succeed, it's evidence they must be monopolies!

The article is an interesting stroll through Roman history, but doesn't draw any deep conclusions.

To some extent, it's difficult to do that, since distilling 2,000 years of history into a few paragraghs is a difficult task.

What's different about ancient Rome and the US today are:

- ancient empires depended on external taxation, but the US depends on internal taxation, trade and being the global curency. Shrinking tax bases rapidly destroyed most ancient empires. The US has island military bases, but no empire and no external tax base.

What's similar about ancient Rome and the US today are:

- both welcomed foreign talent. In ancient Rome, governors often came from subjugated states, with the notable exception of Britain. One of Byzantium's leaders arrived as a serf, but was a very clever person.

The main problem the US has faced for a couple decades is lack of policy. If you watch any interview with a billionaire, it always comes up.

Trump was the most effective President in terms of policy in the last 75 years, as seen in his CCP, trade and border policies. You can contrast that with Biden's woke agenda, which involves military and border blunders, inflation and plummeting respect world-wide.

Biden is a perfect end-of-the-Roman-empire leadership example. Luckily his administration will be marginalized in 2022 and voted out in 2024.

Normally "nuclear capable" in the context of missiles means capable of carrying nuclear weapons, not having some sort of nuclear propulsion. Nothing in the FT article seems to suggest the latter.

There was some attempt in the 1960s to develop nuclear ramjets, but it was canceled. Allegedly because it would encourage an arms race.

I’m missing something… doesn’t open addressing fail catastrophically the moment you try to insert more items than the table has buckets? (With very bad degradation in performance as you approach this saturation point)?

Is the idea that you only use open addressing in cases where you know you’ll place much fewer items into the table than the number of bins?

I don't think it's worth the additional complexity and having a "negative" element on the user interface. It's not only about the engineering and sucking that last bit of optimization from a technical perspective, it's also about creating a product/service that people love and embrace. Something with a negative-though invoking elements like a dislike button wouldn't be in favor of that.

Spotify is a big company and I'm pretty much sure that they've thought about adding it multiple times throughout years. If they haven't, there must be a reason.

>>If you prefer to hold bitcoin instead of fiat and are willing to spend a little bit effort on that and digest some transaction costs, I think it is very likely you will become wealthier.

Sure, that's a distinct possibility. But where does that "wealth" come from? You only "cash out" if somebody else buys it at that larger price. I don't see a mathematical/financial model where bitcoin makes everybody wealthier. It's not about risk aversion or smarts or anything; Bitcoin doesn't create a new thing.

Git is the only context I’ve heard the term “porcelain” used in. A lovely bit of jargon that as far as I can tell is a more humane interface over a non-humane one.

It’s not clear to me which came first: people trying to improve the Git experience by creating porcelain, or the Git project itself distinguishing “porcelain” commands from “plumbing” commands.
Yep. We haven't hit a real bear market in quite a while -- even 2008 was mostly a road bump if you were in tech. We'll see what shakes out when everyone isn't getting trivial 20-30% gains in the market every year.

First there is perhaps some slight refactoring that could be done. Though it does sound nice to reduce the dependency tree.

One thing is I like the declarative nature of the peg,
so I considered trying to make a tiny peg parser generator to go with it (Also worth noting that peg/leg itself is very small).

All that being said, a hand written parser could probably dramatically increase performance and not be that much more code - so I am still unsure - but probably.

Indeed that could be evidence depending on the strength of the beliefs underlying the disagreement. Imagine the parent commenter simply sought out expert consensus and that the consensus was unmistakable; surely you’d agree that if some practice “disagreed”, there’s a higher than average chance something unusual is going on, like monopoly; that’s “evidence”.
Seems like they could essentially reserve a block of capacity (provided by the nukes) as being outside of the market, no? If the nuke plant has a planned or unplanned outage of some or all capacity, that reserve capacity could temporarily be reduced to give a larger slice to the market.

It looks like it’s been averted, but yeah, I’ll be doing the same if I need to.
