> > - Does extending life cheapen our perception of it?

> Why would it? If you die when you are 30 you lose around 50 years. Without aging, you would lose so much more.

Precisely because you have so much time, it doesn't seem as valuable. eg: why not waste a few more years working in a job you don't like so you can make a few more bucks that will likely come in handy in later years. The more years you need to plan for, the more likely you are to trade time for money while you still can.

OTOH, if you know you are probably not living past 30, you will live quite differently. Why invest in a 401k or learn about IRAs in this case? Also, most people won't want to spend 16 years in school for 8-10 years of productivity and 0-2 years of retirement. Work-life balance probably looks very different in this case.
Congratulations! log4j is to feature rich to satisfy the requirements of your limited experience!

The JNDI string expansion and lookups was a pants on head stupid feature, but having highly configurable logging is super helpful when building and debugging systems at scale, both when you building and testing, and when you are scaling up so that you can granularly tune what is logging and where. This is true whether it's written in python, golang, rust, c, or any other language. If you don't know that, then perhaps you should try branching out in your experience.
>Still, better than letting it all get burnt by the shareholders

You wish. By the looks of it, it will be burned down by yet another "redesign" when they inevitably shut down the sane UI of https://old.reddit.com because it's not pushing ads and "social" "features" strongly enough.

(If you don't use https://old.reddit.com/ instead of the "new", aka default, reddit, treat yourself to some sanity. Imagine if Reddit was more like HackerNews. Wait, you don't need to imagine, that's what the link goes to.)

I really like how they are pushing so hard for video, while struggling to display more than a thousand text comments or even links.

Feels like reddit is digging it own grave with these moves, and the shareholders' money with it.

I really hope to revisit this comment in 10 years and say how utterly stupid and wrong I was, because I've got an incredible amount out of the communities on reddit, and poured a lot into them to. Particularly, support groups.
You already knew how to play 2nd ed, so it seamed simple to you.

Any RPG system, if the DM knows the rules really well, is easy to sit down at a table and play. Back when I DM'd a lot I'd run one shots for people all the time, so long as I knew the rules (or subset of rules for what we'd be encountering that session), everything was smooth.
In my experience if the system is important enough, once you ship a couple of features to production you can coast there until the system is replaced. If the features were core the better.

I don´t like it but after 2 decades of coding I have come to accept it as it is.

The way I’ve always heard it used, it basically means “scientific sounding words/sentences that are actually gibberish, used to make something with little or no evidence sound more credible to laypeople“. If you’re in the business of selling laypeople on fancy terms to mislead them, then sure, it’s condescending, but I think condescension is warranted in that case.

While I get the argument for Rails, I find I'm much more productive when working in one language (Javascript) across both the frontend / backend.

As to the low level nature of Node/Express vs something like Rails or Django, I've tried SailsJS and Loopback, which are probably the closest comparisons in Node, and ending up regretting it. Every time I chose a high level API framework / ORM, I felt like I was fighting it or trying to find a workaround for the simplest things.

I now choose Express or Koa for most projects.
This is the wrong analogy - this is not a situation where there is transparent exchange of good or services.

The OP indicated lying literally in the title indicating there is a lack of transparency and oversight, probably at a systematic level.

So adjust the analogy:

You are buying 'Medical Grade' widgets for $100 a pop for the last 5 years for your projects.

Turns out, the Widgets you were buying were cheaply made and not up to specification.

Because it's difficult for you to check the integrity of the widgets (i.e. there is a lot of trust in the system), you 'trusted' the source only to be defrauded.

And FYI even at $100 a pop, I'm sure you could care less how much or little profit they were making, so long as the terms were clear. Much like nobody cares if an employee is only working 2 hours a week, if everyone thinks that value is provided.

But that's almost assuredly not the case.

I just tried the demo sketch thing on the Gradio site and it wasn't able to correctly interpret a single digit I tried, even after 6 or 7 attempts with different values. Serious question - is this a spoof site? I find it hard to believe character recognition can be that bad, in a marketing demo no less.

You misunderstood the question. Everything points to the conclusion that solving the self driving problem for that specific operational domain, congested highway, is almost just as hard as solving self-driving in the general case.

The logical conclusion is then that the failure of the AI and calling for help from a human driver will either never happen at all, since you have a safe level 5 algorithm, or will happen abruptly in dangerous trafic situations that the driver cannot be reasonably expected to recover from.
We're automating a lot of things, but not healthcare. There we're inventing treatments that enable the dying to receive more and increasingly sophisticated care over longer periods of time.

Indeed, I made the mistake of working too hard early on in my tenure at my last job, and was quickly rewarded with more responsibility than I could handle, leading to burnout. This time around I'm trying to be more tactical in my rate of exertion.
In the US, very few full time professionals work under contract. In fact, companies go out of their way to assert that there is no contractual relationship (the "employment at will" principle). They do not count their hours, and are in fact not allowed to do so.

With that said, I'd find it hard to work such a short week. The time I spend that's unaccounted for, I tend to spend helping other people at my workplace, learning new stuff, etc. I enjoy the work. Granted, I don't work as a programmer.
I've been a designer/developer for 20+ years.

What I've learnt over the years is that people don't last around because they're the most brilliant, but because they're good people. Honesty, integrity and a sense of having each other's back is important, as important as raw skills.

I've worked with extremely smart people and people that aren't that bright, but committed and helpful. Companies are organisms made of humans. Not all ranks and not all positions require the one-type of human. That is a fallacy most Startups tend to pretend.

When it comes to personal productivity, a big part of it is your own assessment of what you've actually done today/this week/this month. There are weeks where you actually have actionable work that you can push through in a reasonable amount of time. Some other weeks, you have to rely on other team, other people with different priorities and you're struggling to measure any positive outcome, yet you've been very busy.

Overall, my advice is make sure you're a net positive to your team and the company. Cut the crap, and just make sure that you carry your weight in advancing the company. Sometimes, it means staying out of the way, sometimes it means assisting others, sometimes it means coding for 8 hours straight.

The larger the company, the larger the team, the less an individual can just sit down and do the thing. It's unfortunate but that's the way the industry grew. So much money flowed into this industry over the years and now we carry a ton of dead weight that is yet necessary for this industry to run.

The fact is, with multiple teams and work streams, it's virtually impossible for anyone to claim they're 100% busy every week, or that they're achieving a lot. We have to cut the acronyms and keywords bullshit sometimes and just admit the fact that some weeks we make great strides and some weeks we just pedal in the sand; and it's not anyone's particular fault (if it is, repeatedly, then they need to go). Because overall, most people want to feel like they're achieving great things, no one feels good feeling useless. So enabling people to achieve things net positive is extremely important, as much as cutting dead weight. No one sets off to pedal in the sand and feel like a fraud. If you're in a deadlock situation, approach your manager and say so, maybe you can transition to a different position or look for a different position where you can make a difference. Overall you only have one life, and work is a massive part of that, so honesty towards your own bottom line is as important as the business'.

You can start working late in such cases. We have a lot of people who come to office at 1pm, and stay till 8pm.

If you are instead the kind of person who really works hard when "in the zone", you can try working 10-12 hours a day when you are motivated and then take a vacation/work 3 hours a day when you are out of your zone. That way you can charge up for your next "in zone" phase.

Kids get used to their parents being there all day during some days and not being there during others. As long as you can be there for them when there is something important for them, they and you would be fine.
> that being said there is nothing to discuss about meritocracy, yet i agree with the fact that things are not that meritocratic as we want them to be. why? because there is always an asymmetry in a market, and contracts may always have some flaws (for e.g.: lemon market).

i guess that can be one issue, but my experience has been that what usually undermines "meritocracy" is basically office/org politics...
I’ve found DDD’s insistence that cross-aggregate aggregation be done through IDs to be helpful here. It makes transitioning to other persistence implementations easier.
20% of the people do 80% of the work.

Unfortunately the 80% tend to be paid similarly to the 20%. But high performers tend to move up faster, of course.

I've always found the imbalance to be pretty unjust, but it comes down to lack of certainty into individual contributions. If you confidently knew that person A was twice as productive as person B, you would be willing to pay a higher price to retain them.

If you're savvy and particularly productive, you can use your productivity as leverage in negotiations though. But has to be proven on the job
This is all a pretty good argument in favor of conservatism, especially the last bit. There are plenty of cultural practices that preserve or promote something valuable in society, and maybe we don't even know why they work. But they do.

The focus is disproportionately on the Israeli firms which are often used by the US. The US armed and taught the Taliban, why are we blaming the Taliban instead of the CIA for giving us the problem? It’s like blaming constructors of a crude oil rig instead of the oil companies for making it.
This does work for certain things, but for some things you don’t just want proof of possession of a particular person’s ID card, you want to see that a particular person matches the document they are presenting in addition to verifying that the doc is real.
I think as adults we should be able to recognize that we all went through this and look at it with a little compassion and understanding instead of holding it up for ridicule. As you say, people will feel embarrassed about it enough in the future.
I think the general vibe from the OP comment is that a lot of the fun with low spec and retro hardware is working with restrictions and squeezing new and novel amounts of use out of old hardware. But once you get to the stage of putting a much much more powerful computer in the cartridge, you come to the realization that you can do basically anything at this point and treat the gameboy as a dumb display/input device. Now it's just regular embedded programming.

Not to detract from the project, it is very cool. But the excitement kinda feels dwindled when you realize that you now have limitless power and ability. It becomes just regular programming rather than a puzzle.

You can "componentize" various parts of Rails and make it less of a monolith by using Rails engines.

I do it by having a new folder "components" on the Rails root and adding `gem 'name_of_component', path: 'components/name_of_component'` which looks like a vendored gem.

Rails engines has the ability to "isolate_namespace" which is I think the default for a new engine. This is where you can avoid global name spacing issues where each component can be thought of separately. Effectively, you have something _kinda_ like a microservice but it runs as a monolith. And if you need you can have each component depend on others so long as you don't wind up in a loop.

Note: I have a component "common_models" which is just for commonly used items across various components. The main app should have nothing in it's Rails.root/app since you instead have components.

I'm not related to this but here's a basic idea: https://cbra.info . (Pretty sure the author of this page made the Railsconf talk that inspired me to move to this years ago.)
Maybe but if they can go to court and say that Firefox is malware because it’s intentionally breaking OS security features they’ll probably get away with it.
In my opinion reddit banning toxic communities has helped cement their dominance. I've tried to jump ship to sites like Voat early on in their life cycle, but whenever reddit banned racist / toxic communities, the people from those communities would jump ship to the most viable alternative. This caused the new site to take on the character of the banned communities. Voat got to the point where nearly every thread had someone lobbing derogatory terms at jews / black people.

I think if a new site is to succeed, it needs to have a heavy hand with moderation.
It depends heavily on the job, particularly on management. I will work more if I have a selection of tasks to work on and some choice throughout the day on what to work on. This is especially true if I was part of the decision-making process that led to being assigned those tasks in the first place.

But if I have just one thing to work on, and it's something I'm not interested in and don't particularly want to work on? Yeah, probably not putting in a particularly full week.

Massive Bitcoin scam ongoing on YouTube – Live
I was searching for bitcoin related videos on YouTube, and this live stream popped up with 30k+ people watching.

What immediately caught my eye was the video background, claiming to double your bitcoin or ethereum immediately if you send them to their address. This obviously raises a red flag.

In the description of the video there's a website - https://btcsaylor.io/ where you can instantly participate. The domain was registered 7 days ago!

Website is already flagged as a scam - https://scam-alert.io/scam/1Fh94pyZEmzRcxm2J36QF85xJmoW842A7...

I've checked the receiving btc and eth adresses:

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Fh94pyZEmzRcxm2J36QF... - This address received 12BTC in a few hours

https://etherscan.io/address/0xb839b7A0ad8b1F9556020546a4330... - the ethereum address already has 17ETH in just a few hours as well.

I can't believe I am witnessing a scam worth nearly a million dollars live on YouTube!

How long is this going to last before someone on YouTube suspends them?

Update: It seems that the same video was streamed live from other similar accounts as well.

This is not a live stream, but a prerecorded interview with Michael Saylor the CEO of Microstrategy - which the scammers are using to give credibility to the whole lie.

Just in case this disappear from YouTube - https://i.ibb.co/93tnF9f/Screenshot-3.png

That’s not how it works. Users are grouped into large audiences, anonymized, and sold. For example, your credit card purchase data is sold by visa but visa will not create and sell an audience that has less than 1mm users in it (and then gets modded with look a likes to 5-150mm users).

There are some random articles about deanonymizing location data, but very much a powerful dark government level thing, and those groups have better ways of doing it.
Python is such an amazing language, on one hand, it's easy enough where you could probably train a non technical person on it within about two months.

Yes, it's a completely logical thing to do. It just makes the project a little mundane and back to the practical computing of the real world. With a modern microcontroller you can do anything you want without limits. The gameboy becomes mostly irrelevant.
> The OP has put lying about how much he does literally in the title of the post.

it reads to me like the op is doing some introspection and making use of self-deprecating hyperbole in the process while looking to recruit thoughts from others about general trends in the industry.

"what if this whole posting is just astroturf for someone looking to make a quick buck by instilling productivity fears in insecure leaders so that they may sell more remote worker monitoring creepware?"

but i don't honestly believe that, because assumptions of bad faith, straw man arguments and gotcha style microquoting are not constructive.
> Independent teams (each developing independent services and acting without top-down approval) is a different way to coordinate development that values productivity (keeping everyone unblocked) and innovation (finding better ways of doing things).

I've had the opposite experience. In the monolith, anyone can make the necessary changes, because it's all one codebase that everyone is familiar with. At most, you might need some help/pairing/approvals from experts in particular areas, but in general any team can work independently.

By comparison, in the microservices world, many teams either don't want you to touch their service, or are using a tech stack so unfamiliar to you that it would take too long to be productive. And there's a rat's nest of interdependent microservices, so you end up begging other teams to adjust their roadmap to fit you in.

> Independent teams can pursue very different patterns without needing to agree with each other.

I see this as more downside than benefit. If everyone is using different tech stacks, it's harder for people to move between and contribute to different teams. And you end up with situations where one team uses Java, while another uses Scala, which brings in extra complexity to satisfy what are essentially aesthetic preferences.
No. It's more like alive versus Schrödinger's Tardigrade.
