I’ve gone multiple years on medication, followed by years off it and then back on again. In aggregate I’d say it’s a wash, but the benefits of each phase are different.

In terms of raw productivity, it can definitely make things worse (like the comment I replied to). Or at least, it can replace one problem with another – suddenly your creativity is gone and your hyperfocus is completely misdirected.

Personally I’ve sought out the (re-)diagnosis at times when I felt creativity was less of a priority than execution. If you know exactly what you need to do and can commit to it, the pills can help keep you on track. But they are not the original source of the commitment.

I’m honestly not sure whether it’s worth it, but the dopamine it releases sure does its best to convince me that it is.
FYI your city’s travel immunization clinic (if it has one) might have rabies post-exposure prophylaxis shots.

I know San Francisco’s (https://www.sfcdcp.org/aitc/) does because I got them after getting scratched by a stray cat in Sri Lanka…

Also they weren’t cheap but definitely not $4000 per shot. Maybe a couple thousand total, I don’t recall exactly.
They still can, but you have to push them into it. The younger you start, the easier it is, because then they don't know anything different. I think giving them a tablet at age 2 is a mistake. Give them some paper and crayons instead. Have age-appropriate toys that can be reconfigured (duplo, lego, etc.) Get them into outdoor activities, sports, etc. It's up to you the parent to give them alternatives to sitting in front of a screen.

I'm not. If they want to know, they can ask me for a paystub.
> Apple Silicon can't stay ahead forever and will hit a plateau. It's inevitable.

that's a pretty large leap. Why can't they stay competitive? There's no reason why reverting to the mean applies this way.
It would be interesting if you could have a hybrid somewhere between Pascal and Python, where you could start just naming variables, and the compiler could fill the types in once the code was complete, then you could iterate and tweak.

You'd end up with fast greenfield code to get your prototype working, but then could tighten it up to run faster, and clear out bad type assumptions as the discipline level goes up.
If all employers share their salary information with each other, it becomes a headache for the employee. Each employer may quote the other employer's salary refusing a raise.

This is the reason behind the "put all the data in a database" idea.
This is troll level of misunderstanding how the world works.
> This kind of goes against conventional wisdom, but I actually don't think that switching jobs is the strongest time to ask for more money. I think it's after you have gotten into a role, are killing it, and adding crazy value to the company. That's when you actually have a lot of leverage to say 'hey, I love what I'm doing here and I should be paid a lot more'.

Out of curiosity, has that worked for you? My previous employer only gave me a significant raise after I threatened to quit (with an offer waiting at another company). I ended up doing it a few times. Eventually I got tired of constantly interviewing and threatening to quit and did a sideways move to a YC backed company. Total comp is about the same, maybe slightly lower, but maybe the stocks will pay out some day :D. Being fully remote is a nice perk though.
Multistage builds are a better solution for this. Write as many steps as required in the build image and copy only what’s needed into the runtime image in a single COPY command
It's a 100% pure lottery. I'd easily answer some of the questions, but for others I stand no chance without prep time. For example, I've re-learned implementing a self-balancing binary tree at least 3 times in the past, and I literally can't remember anything about it.

I've always found such questions lame, because (1) you rarely need this kind of thing, (2) when you actually do, you can find the information within 5 minutes, and (3) if you don't know it, well... you're not gonna suddenly come up with somebody's PhD thesis during a stressful job interview.

And you may say "yeah, they don't expect you to, they just want to see how you think". That's bullshit, because people know this questions come up often and will sit down and study them in order to game the interview process.

No, he is offering an idea to square a good and loving God with the horrors we see in life. This is known as a theodicy.
1) that's actually reasonable and I believe that all Debian-maintained packages follows this, but unfortunately some third-party, usually proprietary, packages don't follow this.

2) Huh, so it's actually there, just isn't explicit, probably because of their requirement of idempotency.
While OK, cutting edge might be better but big questions still are open.

It is not about making road safer...

Question is, if it will be more cost effective to have self driving car or not. Cutting edge is currently not cost effective as developing and operating such car is costing loads of money.

There are still operation costs that are not obvious like insurance. I don't think there is sane company anywhere that wants to put 100's of cars on the same roads as insurance scammers.
Isn't this basically just federal law overriding state law?

You can replace AV with browser and Norton with Brave in this statement.
Fair enough, I think it's clear that "it depends" then because those were not issues for us and our set up. We weren't running a server farm, these were just internal development servers, the parts that did have context were named appropriately like "Production, Staging, Feature-1" etc. The networking was trivial. I am sure you are right and that if it had grown, a naming convention would be nice.

I do get a bit tired of the Everything is Enterprise approach to software. We aren't all trying to scale to the moon, and enterprise tooling has it's own costs.
finally got in. that's unclear, it might just be for you. i'll have to ask an hr friend.

>COBOL, PHP, and FORTRAN all lack modern ecosystems (package managers, etc) which hinder them significantly.

I think your PHP info is wrong, PHP has a package manager named composer. So if you need to connect to amazon S3 amazon published a package (that does't depend on 100 leftpads)

Maybe is not modern enoug in your opinion? Then what is missing except lefpad and color-red ?
>> ADHD is not a motivation thing

It would depend on the individual.

A lack of focus from ADHD can translate to a lack of motivation due to a lack of progress.
Honestly, the process didn't sound _that_ onerous to me...
Those were example numbers. The key part is the asimetric information: the new company knows your rock bottom, while you have no way to know their upper limit.
Not the person you are responding to. He seems not keen on engaging with you here.

I agree to most of what you say.

Having said that, trying to answer your question:

> What damage is done to you because someone knows you make $45k vs. $145k vs. $445k? You are not harmed in any way.

Many people believe, probably not incorrectly, that the salary line item in the budget is a fixed one. Hence, it is a zero-sum game. If their colleague negotiates better pay, their own pay will be negatively impacted, in this world view.
I parent meant that matsutake grow wild in North America, not truffles.

There’s lots of stuff I don’t put on my résumé. Lots of things I’ve had to deal with over the years that I don’t want to have to deal with anymore.

I’m thinking about chopping off the first twenty years or so of my experience and listing that as “more information on request”.

Where I have gotten better lately is writing down and rehearsing more of the good stories I’ve built up over the years, and following the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format for organizing them. There’s some good write-ups I’ve seen for STAR, so I won’t try to link them here, but it’s a good process. I also try to include links that show more information about the stories, and I tie them back to principals that I’ve been told that the company cares about.
No, it is the official Kazakhstan source, not Russian telegram accounts.
The uprising is very vioulent without any doubts.
There are a lot of sources to confirm captures of government buildings and posession of arms.
Speaking of Ukraine, do you remember a "burned AC unit" in Lugansk? That was not media, that was official Ukrainian statement.
Stuff like this is why I am pro-union, even when I am not a socialist or whatever.

Employers have all the power over employees, they share data indiscriminately, they have all the information and power. It's only fair that employees have some power back and they can bargain together as a group.

(Ironically in "socialist" countries, the employer has more power, because the employer, the union and the state are all ultimately the same entity, as they are all controlled by the party. But that's a different discussion I guess.)
Did this post get de-listed from the front page? I went back a number of pages and can't find it at all.
If you don't mind sharing more:

1. What kind of companies do you consult with? Is it startups, enterprises, mid-size companies? I see you mentioned forming connections with founders so I presume you mostly work with early stage startups.

2. What kind of work do you do? Advisory? Hands-on engineering? Modeling? Architecture?

3. How do you find your clients?

When I see "mail.ru" and "gmail.com" listed as major FOSS contributors without any nuance that these are private emails; unrealistically bloated representation of microsoft; noting that yes Linux is a main driver of FOSS activity and is on github, but not noting that activity does not take place on github and is just mirrored there; Stack Overflow is supposed to be a critical assist for FOSS, I am afraid for all its charts and graphs this doesn't really understand what it set out to describe.

Same problem here, really shows how good their security and data gathering is.
That sounds ridiculously cheap. I got bitten by the squirrel and went to the emergency room only to be told that they don’t do rabies shots after squirrel bites. The price I paid for 15 min visit? - $3,500.
Where are you planing to drive west to from California?
No, because you don't sent your wallet to the merchant.
Seems to require a US phone number to sign up. I don't live in the US anymore.
In California it’s illegal for a company to use historic salary info for a hiring or salary decision[1], so who is equifax trying to sell to in CA? This seems like a very grey legal area where the obvious use for the data is illegal.

Interesting. I wonder why that's not available on Android.
If it's an online service they don't need your address.
"It's 100% correct, except for the errors"
of course it's not cheating to use the best available tool for the task
I don't think Equifax is really the one to be doing this but I do think this type of transparency is good. It will only serve to level the playing field and prevent employers from taking advantage. For that reason though, I don't see many employers sharing these data, especially any who would be on the lower end of the spectrum.

I spent about a third of 2021 more or less consumed by this phenomenon. In my case it was triggered by job searching: I quit my existing position, intending to do a leisurely search over a few months... and then avoided nearly everything related to the job search for over four months. (While still experiencing a ton of stress as a result of constant anxiety and guilt about it.) Once I actually started, I landed an amazing new position within two months.

The thing that made the difference for me was directly and consistently involving my girlfriend. All she did most of the time was sit in the same room as me, working on her own stuff, but some combination of being unable to completely avoid working while she was there, having her there to vent anxiety to, and being able to make commitments to her rather than myself made an enormous amount of difference.

I'm not thrilled with myself for the procrastination I did in the first place, but I'm taking it as a hard-won lesson: doing difficult things can be vastly easier if you have someone you trust as support and confidant.
As an Android user I am beginning to hate iPhone users for sending me ultra low quality photos and "Laughed at 'message I just sent'".

Apple has made MMS hostile to non-iphone users. If they want iMessage to only work with Apple systems they should just do so and provide a proper SMS app.
Can you share briefly how it has helped you?

My error. Indeed you can use If-None-Match with QUERY to support client-side caching if you can generate an appropriate ETag.

It sounds so cool, but then I don’t get out of the base image before you’re writing your own Python launcher in a heredoc in a shell script in a docker image builder in a nix derivation[0]? Curiosity compels me to ask: how did all that become necessary?

Do folks sign CLAs on a whim? It seems unwise to not have a lawyer look them over first, so you know what you're actually giving up (vs what the text says).
Thanks for taking the time to answer. It's a strange concept when you realize behind many of them there is a notorious bias due to so kind of sponsorship that at the end is not transmited to the public on a transparent way as its work
One of my favorite long “podcast episodes” is this 3.5 hour collection of interviews between Orson Welles and Peter Bogdanovich. Really interesting discussion between two film greats:

As of the latest data in the US for vaccinated people re: Omicron:

You're 13x less likely to land in the hospital.

You're 45x less likely to die.

It's gone from being 10-20x more deadly than the flu to half as deadly with the vaccine. And Omicron hasn't peaked yet in the U.S., these numbers are likely conservative.

Last I checked you had 1/14th the population and 1/30th the deaths we had. You got the vaccine later than we did, hit 93% vaccination rate while we're STILL below 65%.

Australia took things way more seriously than we did, maybe a bit "too conservatively" for your taste, but the alternative I live in is that 2 aunt's funerals were over zoom (pre vaccine), and my I'm waiting for my 63 yr old uncle (anti-vax) who had a heart attack 3 years ago, is obese, been a lifelong smoker, and just got CoViD to recover.
The author freely admits a 10 month handover was counter productive. But equally 2 weeks is not appropriate for many roles, especially in smaller companies, or where you may be the only employee with a specialist skill.

It sounds like it may be more of a north american phenomenon to walk out of jobs at your own discretion(?). In my experience, people in the UK are observant of contractual notice periods and 3 months is not unusual for someone in a senior position.

It's become a bit of a nonsensical arms race to tie people down to longer and longer notice periods to make it easier to bring someone in who hopefully has a shorter notice period for a convenient handover.

What the hell kind of academic culture is this? Maybe in graduate research, if I expected a research assistant to know how to do a task... but certainly not true in an undergraduate course! If they can't do the assignment, that is the perfect time for them to come to me and learn from me how to do the assignment. That's like, the whole point of my job as a teacher is to help people learn. Yes, I make assignments too, and people underestimate how difficult that part of the job is, but helping people figure things out is like my #1 job. It's sad to hear that your experiences (and apparently many other commenters) are something very different?
Not if the lenses are 180 degrees FOV, or nearly so.

They’re also much more invasive, since they sit on your face and go everywhere you do, including places where people would like to have and expect privacy — like public bathrooms or gym locker rooms.
As freelancer I was bringing up the discussion with my peers at a company about the amount we were getting paid.

Recruitment kind of worked like the following: the company that we were all employed at just paid a fixed amount per freelance developer. And the developers all got contracted through a preferred supplier. For development jobs the amount per hour for a freelancer was capped at around 90 EUR. The preferred supplier wanted to get at least 10 EUR per hour, so this meant the maximum a dev could earn was around 80 EUR per hour.

However often other recruitment companies would place developers at the preferred supplier, so they wanted a share of the cut as well.

One dev had the preferred supplier and 2 recruitment companies between himself and the company we worked at, so he earned only 55 EUR an hour.

Once we realised that for the employer it didn't really matter how much people earned, as long as it was no more than the hourly rate the company was willing to pay, all of us increased our rates at the next term, at the cost of the middlemen of course.

However, the recruitment company that hired me told me I could get one final raise, but I was forbidden to discuss remuneration in the future with my peers at this company.

Bitcoin tansactions are unrelated to hashing power, to pollution.

Whether there are zero or a million¹ transactions in a block: the power to mine it is the same.

There is a misunderstanding that hashing power is related to throughput. That correlation does not exist. Hashing power is a function of the price of a Bitcoin.

¹yes, I'm aware of the limts imposed by block sizes. But that too has nothing to do with the power.
We have had over two years to prepare for this. I don’t buy it for one second.

The last time I went to the ER was prior to the pandemic… and it still cost over two thousand dollars after insurance. Insurance that I spent probably over 10k a year for.

Maybe Covid isn’t the issue. Maybe our infrastructure is.

If you think they aren’t laughing their arses to the bank over this then I dunno bud.

You really think that we can’t afford the equipment and staff to handle this? How much do you spend on health insurance every year? Your brother? Sister? Literally everyone around you? Why aren’t we pointing fingers at the hundreds of wasteful medical contractors hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars in this time of crisis? How much money do you think director level types and administrator level types deserve in times of catastrophe such as these, especially if my daughter can’t even see a doctor when she is sick?

Omicron is not the problem. We should be able to handle this.
I only scratched the surface.

We both know the obvious reasons that cryptocurrencies enable rampant ransomware [0], multiple rug pull scams [1], pointless NFTs [2] and is totally unregulated, I'm seeing crypto bros heralding 'we need decentralisation and web3' when this is all owned by VCs [3] And don't get me started on the Tether fraud [4].

I was being _generous_ in seeing if cryptocurrencies passes the 'retail shop test' and it can't even do that without burning the planet up making useless computations.

This article seems elitist to me. Not everyone is in a position to take "active unemployment". People are from different walks of life, it is a lot easier to become a thinker having large nest egg from either high earning position or inheritance than when juggling 2 full time jobs to provide for your children.
According to that article, we know this protein exists, but we have never actually been able to isolate and study it directly - we just see some derived substances. Fascinating how such basic things are still somewhat mysterious; and how it's easier to create antibodies to detect byproducts of a protein than it is to chemically isolate that protein!
Pair programming can be a solution. Your employer may fear you are slower than on your own but in reality it will vastly increase your productivity and make you feel better at the same time. Also the result will often be better than what you would have eventually achieved by yourself.
If the company signs the yearly tarif agreement done between the government and unions, everyone knows what someone at Tarif XYZ is earning.

You don't need a public list from HR, and almost everyone will answer when asked "do you mind telling me...".

Surely there are people that will answer that they rather not, so far I haven't bumped in such people so far.
That's interesting context, but does that meaningfully change the message of this article?
I feel comfortable saying such a person would be wrong.
As someone that switched to iOS from Android sometime around ~2014, I can still never remember which color is SMS and which is iMessage.

I know iMessage is big in some social bubbles/countries, sure.
Yeah, I get it, and you're not wrong - you'll probably end up with a higher salary operating that way. It's just not for me. I've already reached my "good enough" salary (the hard way), and at this point I'm more focused on what I can give back.
For me, the domain at the end of the email it wanted to send a verification code to seemed to belong to my company.
So you agree that looking for prestigious institutes on a resume is unfair and disadvantages a number of groups? I never said which way the privilege swung, merely that it's clear that "attending a prestigious institute" has never been the meritocracy it claims to be.
