How will you know which one you are - or which one you could become - if you don't try it?

Although the very idea of "trying it" like one tries on a pair of pants is absurd. Either a people has the moral fortitude to recognize and live that there are things more important than mere survival or it doesn't.

And if it doesn't, ironically we're already fucked.

It has always been my strong belief that ML is good to solve problems, if the problems are very narrowly defined and training sets are very specific.

Say, recognition of cats. Other than that, it is difficult to build stuff around something more broad.

So, ML is a brand new paradigm that has its uses, just not in AGI.

The salary that the company is willing to pay you depends on how much you are worth to them. In the scenario where you move to New York because they require your physical presence, your value to them depends on location so they would pay you more for being in New York. In the scenario where you work remotely, your value to them doesn't depend on location.
I think in the beginning of the century some older people felt similar towards websites and such. “It doesn’t work the way I want”. Some technical/knowledgeable people understood the nuances. Same goes here
> brogrammer goals

What exactly are "brogrammer goals"?
Neat!

I manage a project that spans several repos, so I've been looking for a good solution for this. I really just want something that lets me prioritize Github issues from different repos.

I tried Github Projects a few months ago, and I don't recall the issue, but I couldn't find any obvious way of adding issues to a project from the issue itself rather than from the project view.

I've been using CodeTree, which does the job, but it feels stupid paying $50/mo for a SaaS whose whole job is to just show me a list of Github issues. Especially because I haven't seen any product development at all in the year that I've been paying for it.

I tried Linear, and I didn't get what all the fuss was about. It's pretty, but I found it unintuitive, and it seems like it wants to be the authoritative store for bugs and tasks, when I wanted to keep them in Github and just have different views of them.

It looks like this latest iteration of Github Projects offers enough for me to migrate away from CodeTree and save myself the $50/month.

This is the boss saying “Doug was worth more than I could pay him, here’s what he should be getting” which is actually a very nice thing to do for the new ownership because losing Doug soon after could have been devastating. Likely the small company had felt it couldn’t match the actual salary (and likely tried to make it up in other ways).
No, they won’t “take your (existing) generator away”, but they will make buying (new) generators increasingly expensive and difficult to buy.

>but when he says a movie is good he has never been wrong

I have a crazy anecdote like that too. My severely (barely verbal, had his own barely intelligible language) step brother would watch like a grand total of two movies on repeat. So many times that for a decade afterward you could say a single line from either movie, and I could finish the script for you.

Those two movies? Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Willow.

After a couple of decades of a break from being forced to watch them I finally did, and they're exemplary.

WFRR is objectively incredible: https://medium.com/labjorfaap/who-framed-roger-rabbit-bumpin... as a production, and as work of art.

And Willow is one of the best fantasy epics ever made, IMHO.

He was maybe ~6 when WFRR came out on VHS could already spot a good movie. He's probably still mentally a poorly functioning 6 despite being 36 now, but there's a lot more to him than his obsession with Christmas. :)

I feel like in the years to come we're going to learn a lot from and benefit greatly from autistic folks. (I also might be one.)

> I don't know if I have a future at this company if the boss thinks I'm not a good dev

I have no idea what the tone was when these critiques were given, but is it possible that this was not a case of "You're a bad dev, look at these problems" as much as "You're a young dev, let me help show you some mistakes so we can do better in the future and make you a good dev."?

Critique is part of learning. And it can bum you out. But it sounds like you already know some of it is valid, and you have rebuttals for other stuff you can hash out. To me, this sounds like a terrific opportunity to improve communication and start making this a productive mentoring relationship.

I could be totally off base - but I'd just consider the possibilities before you assume negative intent.
Github is a forge. Sourceforge is a forge.

Every independent codeberg, gitlab and gitea server (and there are more) that is running is a forge. Right now, you have to have an account on one to open issues, make pull requests, contribute in any way to code hosted on it and only it, and you need an account on each and every server you want to contribute to, even provide a bug report. This is no good, because people who like to host their own code can only frictionlessly contribute to their own code, or code hosted on their forge, or the forge they put their code on. How many people are going to create an account on gitea.bobsserver.biz just to put a bug report in for an annoyance in some app they use?

This is why github has a near monopoly in this space, everyone can contribute with a github account. To decentralize this, I need to be able to put a PR in your project hosted on your forge using the account I have on my forge. This is what ForgeFed does, it is an extension of ActivityPub to enable federation of forges.
I hate fake search results. https://imgur.com/a/Lk85lST is one that my father got a while back. Google needs to be accountable for harmful ads that they present to unsuspecting members of the public. Sellers of traditional forms of advertising on TV and in printed media are parts of organizations like the Ads Standards Council that defined the ethical parameters for advertising. Google has lost its way -- I wish they would reinstate the Don't Be Evil policy, as if ads preying on the vulnerable aren't evil, I don't know what is.
Well, if it leaves one unable to function effectively in society, or seriously hampered in that, it does make sense to differentiate from a less strong case.

My dad likes to tell this story of building a house:

First you start with the a beautiful, pristine plot of land.

Then you dig a giant hole in the ground and cause a giant mess.

So to fix that, you pour a big concrete foundation.

But you are still left with a big hole in the ceiling, and that is no good.

So now you hire some contractors to put up framing and a roof.

But you are still left with some big holes in the wall, and that is no good.

So now you hire more contractors to put up exterior walls and siding.

But you are still left with some small door-shaped and window-sized holes in the wall, and that is still no good.

And they left lots of little holes behind inside too:
The electrician cuts holes to put in outlets.
The doors and windows offer no privacy.
The shower leaks.
The bathroom is just a series of open pipes.

So you hire more contractors, to add all of those details...

And you still have lots of holes!
The windows and doors are drafty without their trim.
The drywall seams look unseemly.

So you hire more contractors, to fix all of those details...

And now the walls have paint, the doors have trim, and the roof keeps you dry.

Was it worth it? You spent a lot of money chasing new problems that you created as a side effect of trying to solve the old problems. Was not the original plot of natural land already perfect, and could have simply be tended to?

Perhaps with some careful forestry, you could have enmeshed the branches to keep out most of the rain. It may takes more time and effort, but maybe you could have really benefited by not building a house!
Fun side note on this:

Bel's macros are definitely macros and not Kernel-style operatives. Here is a comparison, for clarity:

(A) Bel's macros do a syntax-&gt;syntax transformation, but this expansion happens (according to the spec) in the evaluator, after concluding that the operator is a macro and not a function.
(B) In the greater Lisp-and-Scheme tradition, macros do a syntax-&gt;syntax transformation, but at compile time. (Usually after "read" but before "eval".) In this sense, they are small compilers themselves. (This puts limitations on macros: they have to be "statically visible" in the code. You can't late-compute a macro at runtime in this system.)
(C) Kernel's operatives do a syntax-&gt;"side effect" transformation, at that same late stage as Bel's macros. Kernel operatives are essentially functions, except that the evaluation of the operands (syntax) into arguments (values) has been suppressed. In this sense, operatives are small interpreters.

If an (A) macro is well-behaved, you can often "optimize" it either to a (B) form or a (C) form. In my Bel implementation, it took me ages to notice that I could do the latter. I documented it here: https://github.com/masak/alma/issues/302#issuecomment-992556...

You missed the second half of the quote. It is clear he was talking about a salary 20-30k above what he was already making. Now, you may point out that's still not a lot of money, but it's not a salary in the 20-30k range.

He then said that he answered the question of what he made, was told a $20k bump was to much, and was offered a lower (X,000) bump instead because they assumed that's all they needed to do.
I find it hilarious that the strongest response is about some ancient examples of centuries ago. If anything, this is a praise of the system we have today.

People don’t understand Capitalism and they seem to have joined the liberal progressive bandwagon. Progressives used to be extremely pro-Capatilist movement. Until lately, and some fringe socialist ideas of Bernie Sanders, it was universally accepted. Apparently after 2020, the entire progressive movement started stomping on billionaires and corporations.

There is a reason why most strong economies are capitalist. It’s the best tool we have.

Also, I tend to believe the opposite of what the HN hive mind thinks. Usually the opposite is true and even if it’s not, it breaks the bandwagoning. Thanks for the response!
Hmm I’ll take a look. Problem is we have a whole lengthy process to install software, so that’s sort of a hurdle.

Something being “not uncommon” at your organization doesn’t make it good advice for anyone else.

Nah. The "but" differentiates a positive trait from a neutral trait, and the parenthetical phrase clarifies that the neutral trait isn't necessarily bad.
> Whites soon will no longer have a majority and there is an ongoing shift in the demographics.

The "ongoing shift" narrative turns out to be quite illusory. Hispanics are increasingly joining the "white" bandwagon, so "whites" will not become a demographic minority any time soon. Yes, this also means lots of potential voters for either party: there will be no raw demographically-based prominence for either Republicans or Democrats.

If it’s law, someone will enforce it at some point.

> What the bill does do, is to give legal force to new rules currently being made by CARB. If these rules are adopted as proposed, emissions standards for SOREs will be raised to technically infeasible levels from 2024 onwards, effectively prohibiting production of SOREs for the California market. Generators are included in this, although they will not be completely restricted until 2028.

Ah so 2028.

Funny, a friend of mine runs a tree clearing business. As of right now there’s only maybe one decent (electric) chainsaw that would meet the requirements, that would enable you to clear trees. And it’s 5x the prices of gas powered chainsaws.

What does this mean? More fires, less forest management.

I’m sure there’s other machines and vehicles needed for forest management, so this problem will compound.

> - The notion that you should have loyalty to the team beyond your last paycheck.

It made me sad to read this. You don't have to be loyal to your team, of course, but your framing makes me think that you've never been in a position where you've wanted to be loyal to your team, long-term.
The interesting part is when CARB does do heavy-handed regulation as they struggle to get to 0% emission.

To this, I would say “good luck with that”.

Yeah, for some reason most anti-capitalists cite the bad parts of Capitalism and broad brush the entire concept. If humans can get together and collectively improve the world while feeding their families from the profits, there is no wrong doing. No one hands over profits, it’s earned and it’s a reward from the society through the mechanism of free markets. It’s probably the only thing I’d prefer to do instead of working in Academia or some other incentive structure.

I'm still kind of baffled here why Montevideo was brought up (not by you but above) on a thread regarding Paraguay. Montevideo is in Uruguay.

Most people will need to put in two to five years of study and practice to develop marketable skills as a programmer. Those years are a lot easier to give from 14 to 19 than at 38 to 43. If you have family, kids, responsibilities the time and focus get harder to come by, no matter what career you try to switch to. That said there’s no reason a person can’t learn programming at 8, 38, or 58.

A few people manage to get through law school, medical school, or learn how to write code later in life while holding down a job and raising a family. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s easier when you have the time and freedom of youth.
