> JDK 17 has most of the good features of Scala and Kotlin.

I'd be sooo happy if that were the case, but sadly, it's not. From the point of view of Scala, I still see many features missing. Roughly in the order of importance:

* Immutable persistent collections in the standard library (and thus lingua franca in the libraries). Just so much better than mutable collections. Way less headache. Once you start using them, you realize how rarely you actually need mutable ones.

* Pattern matching. Java will surely improve on what is currently available. But why wait? It may take a long time.

* Sophisticated string interpolation. It's powerful, and yet is still easy to read. Again, Java is on its way to get it, but with Scala you can have it right now.

* Type Classes. Sometimes it is very good design to separate data from functionality. Java designers (Brian Goetz IIRC) mention they would like to get this eventually. Scala has an interesting design of Type Classes -- "givens" -- which is also modular (in contrast to Haskell). Scala also has an elegant mechanism for Type Class derivation using the "derives" clause.
https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/contextual/deri...

* for-comprehension syntax and IO/Task/ZIO for async programming. Project Loom still hasn't delivered. But Scala has you covered. It gives you for-comprehension syntax, so that you don't have to suffer from nested callback hell. And there are many great libraries for async programming, like ZIO or Cats Effect. These are easier to work with, compared to other Futures from various Java libraries, because they're lazy, not eager. for-comprehension syntax is also useful for other things, it's just that async is the typical usecase.

Higher-kinded types. Not everything has to be super fancy higher-kinded type-level craziness. And very often one gets away without needing to use higher-kinded types and that's good (just as often a solution without parametric polymorphism aka generics is enough). But other times it's awesome to have this power of abstractions. Typically, but not only in libraries.

* Object. Sometimes you just need to have an object (which might implement an interface/class/trait). But Scala doesn't force you to create a whole class, if you only even want just one instance anyway. A small thing, but way more elegant.

But I'm really happy to see Java/JVM improve. The 17 release has brought some great features, but in the language level (records, embryonic pattern-matching, ...) and the VM level (GCs in particular). We all benefit more or less directly, one way or the other.
Common units _do_ have a claim on the bank balance of a company in the case it winds up. It’s just that employees, bond holders and preference share holders get paid first.

I think you are being downvoted rather harshly.
I think it's fine to architect a language in this way as long as there is a good 1st party effort at a comprehensive standard library. The failure mode I see most often of a small core is that there ends up being 100 libraries of varying quality and completeness to do common tasks e.g. parsing JSON.
JetBrains IMO is about the same performance as VSCode for waaaaay more ease and functionality.

It doesn't give me that deliciously snappy feel compared to something like terminal NeoVim, but my productivity is ultimately much higher on a JetBrains IDE
Can you point me to it?
Honestly I've had plenty of real world support people who were just as bad, if not worse, than the AI bots. Recently had an experience with paid Microsoft support (for work) so bad that we just stopped even talking to them. It didn't used to be this way, it used to be that if we had a data corruption issue with SQL we'd talk to an engineer who worked on SQL server at Microsoft, now we talk to some third party company's imitation of an engineer who is vaguely aware that SQL exists.
How many trees did you climb?
I recently had an issue where my UDP service worked fine exposed directly as a NodePort type, but not through an nginx UDP ingress. I _think_ the issue was that the ingress controller forwarding operation was just too slow for the service's needs, but I had no way of really knowing.

Now if I had this kernel level network monitoring system, I probably could have had a clearer picture as to what is going on.

Really one of the hardest problems I've had with learning/deploying in k8s is trying to trace down the multiple levels of networking, from external TLS termination to LoadBalancers, through ingress controllers, all the way down to application-level networking, I've found more often than not the easiest path is to just get rid of those layers of complexity completely.

In the end I just exposed my server on NodePort, forwarded my NAT to it, and called it done. But it sounds like something like ContainIQ can really add to a k8s admin's toolset for troubleshooting these complex network issues. I also agree with other comments here that a limited, personal-use/community tier would be great for wider adoption and home-lab users like me :)
There are many jobs where the range of productivity is higher than 30%. Entertainment and athletics are obvious ones, but whether you think programmers of a given title/scope could be 10x different from each other, it seems like most people would agree that there's at least a 1.5x spread. Same would seem to be true in sales, modeling, acting, music, athletics, writing, film-making, and other fields involving significant creativity or where performance varies greatly.
I confess I'm extremely ignorant in terms of what it takes to actually store money in bulk. But it seems like literally anything would be better than just letting it rot.

> We want it to be true

Founders and salesman pretend it to be true for that sweet sweet VC money, while underneath devs try to fake it as plausibly as possible.

https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/title-vii-civil-rights-act-196... - looks like this is all about employment, and even then only applies to those employing more than N employees:

> The term "employer" means a person engaged in an industry affecting commerce who has fifteen or more employees [...]

I suppose the root of my question is this: Where is the law stating that an individual cannot act with prejudice against another individual, outside of an employment context? I've always assumed such a law exists, but never asked exactly where it is.
This wasn't even a virtual interview at the time. They flew me to Seattle for this.

Yeah it's nice - I'm tinkering with a game in similar style to roguelike at the moment and considered doing the graphics ascii-style for rapid development instead of making 3d placeholder art. It ended up being quicker to learn the basics of blender and go 3d immediately, than to do text first and 3d later.
A median here is over the entire country. If you are being paid a median (national) salary, but live/work in a more expensive (national) area, you are likely not being paid median relative to your area. You are likely being paid below median. But you are still likely being paid more than other industries in the same area.

> $110k just barely supports a family with a chance at retirement.

This may or may not be true, but I was talking about individual earners here, and median household income averages >1 earner per household. In this example, a 110k household income is less than double the national median household income, so it will definitely feel less lucrative when raising a family.
>I'll just address the underlying sentiment that credit card debt is just fine and totally normal.

I think your point that a credit card can't save someone that consistently spends more than they earn is correct.

Neither will a few thousand dollars in cash.

I don't believe 60% of Americans are in this category anyway. I don't think anyone seriously does believe it. Do you?

What we are talking about, in my view, is whether having substantial cash reserves has any relationship to risk of imminent financial disaster. Or if it's a weird anachronism.
> That's because of an increasing number of magic tricks the neoliberal governments

The BLS has been measuring the unemployment rate the same way since 1940.

> Yes. And still the US had less CO2 production, less plastic waste, and more sustainable lifestyle.

You're taking a by-product of 1970s car exhausts as if it's a permanent given.

The was more of almost every type of type of non C02 industrial pollutant. There was acid rain, and we were punching a hole in the ozone with refrigerants. Pesticides in use then were far more toxic to people and wildlife. Asbestos was everywhere, and lead was in everything.

We could certainly consume fewer disposable things, but the tradeoff is that being poor today affords people a far higher material standard of living than in 1960 by literally any metric.

> Yes. And still the US had less CO2 production

This is almost entirely solvable over the next few decades.

> 2022 really doesn't want to start an argument about extinguished species with the 1960s.

You could and you'd find that numerous large charismatic species on the verge of extinction by the mid 70s have recovered in much of the world. The US has become so rich that we're re-wilding and re-introducing displaced species. The rest of the world could follow.

> Far better, more progressive, and forward looking political upheaval than in the last 10 years...

We started a drug war and the expansion of the carceral state in the late 60s[1]. MLK, JFK, RFK, and Malcom X were all assassinated so I wouldn't call that progressive upheaval. And the progressive upheaval caused by the likes of The Weather Underground or the SLA is hardly impressive.

> Those are historical incidents

Everyone living under the constant threat of nuclear holocaust was kind of a wer blanket.

> The 60s was the era that got rid of the last of Jim Crow laws.

By the end, and replaced it with a drug war.

In the 60s crime was higher, material wealth was less plentiful, more people lived in poverty, life expectancy was shorter, and most people in society had few options. Localized environmental pollution was worse. Cars were far less safe, and mortality by all causes was higher.

> Not the experience of most who lived through them and herald them as a great age

Nostalgia does that to people, but basically all objective measures of life quality were worse.

Placebo is routinely used and corrected for in studies, so your assumption is false.
It isn't equal, but pointing that out downplays the fact that they are in equilibrium. Commodities producers reduce costs to increase profits through greater market share, but without the drive to consume more goods than the present, the excess capacity from the cost reduction would sit idle, which doesn't happen in practice.

To make the point more salient, if people were willing to live to the standards of the 1800s, a significant amount of the workforce slaving away could retire right now. People choose increased consumption over leisure time, not corporations, corporations only provide demanded goods.
*One* person with an hourly beep is almost tolerable. More than one in an office? Completely intolerable.

I have had a quiet word with colleagues who set their watches to beep, then a slightly louder word with their manager when they persisted. The Apple Watch vibrate is different -- it's not going to disturb anyone else. It also wouldn't be quite so bad were it noisy, because at least smart watches should have accurate (and matching) time.

I'm glad for you that you have understanding colleagues :).
This isn't about helping employees. This is about large orgs avoiding competing with smaller ones. Salary is one of the easy to filter and sort by metrics of a job. If your comp is anything other than base salary (working hours per week, work life balance, equity, non-standard benefits), then your job posting will now be ignored more often.

It's hard enough for small companies to get high quality candidates, this will only make it worse.

Yeah, it was just the first analogy that came to mind. In securities world, there are two big laws, one for the securities themselves and one for the exchanges. Good exchanges make the security less risky, more fungible, and therefore worth more. So, I think there’s more to the “is coinbase web 2 or 3” tweet that hasn’t been resolved yet.

But I think the threshold issue is about inflation. Bitcoin is designed to not inflate. To me, this is an uncorrectable bug, but to the creators, it’s a feature. I don’t see how I can ever get past that. hyperinflation is bad, but no inflation ever is something people who have never lived with or who are very rich seem to think is good. It’s bad for debtors (I.e. almost everyone), bad for growing the economy, and I could go on.

I know other coins have different designs, but for now at least bitcoin is dominant.

I don't really see how this has an effect on anything. Companies will just make up positions depending on the salary ranges they expect. You'll interview for Software Engineer III, but they won't want to pay you that much, so they'll offer you a job for Software Engineer II.

I always had the feelings that FAANGs did this. I saw a lot of people come into Google at Staff level because their past job had a similar salary range (but not responsibilities). No proof, of course, but generally they find the level that fits your salary expectations.
idk, scientists have known that the mind influences the body (placebo/nocebo effect, physical symptoms passed off as anxiety, stress worse than smoking), and poor physical health lead to pains and energy issues as well as the gut-brain connection. I don’t think anyone doubts that good mental health leads to good physical health and vice versa.

But your mind cannot perform miracles. Most of the examples in this article and others are likely coincidences. There are many people who desperately wanted to kill themselves but couldn’t, and people who by all means should have wanted to live but unexpectedly passed away.

Kind of like how the mind is inseparable from the body, science is inseparable from human bias and fallacies.
He and his wife were assassinated during a military coup. Assassinations are a pattern during coups.

Neoliberalism also has nothing to do with debt. It attempts to increase profit rates through privatisation, deregulation and austerity measures. Only the latter happened in România in the 80 and it was imposed by the IMF. Suspiciously, the loan had just been paid off in 89 when the coup happened.
In the late 90s, my cousin (who is a recruiter) asked me where she could find a good programmer. I suggested contacting people who participated in certain USENET newsgroups (I was recruited this way). She was successful at finding someone, but she said they had to help relocate the guy's pet lizard.

Also: read Rule 34 by Charles Stross. The weirdest thing about this book is that it's written in 2nd person.
> within “three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being.” Fifty-two years later, we’re still waiting.

Humanity built the atomic bomb and went to the moon. But "they" didn't sit around waiting for it, they decided to do it, and then invested enough to get it done. And the reason they decided to do it was war.

Most major technological breakthroughs are a byproduct of war. If AI ever gets developed, it'll be as the next weapon of war. So really what we're waiting for is the next war.

Don't forget the biggest challenge: network effects. FB is a competitor here. Many people use their FB feed to post interesting URL's and comment on them.
Yeah, I was pretty proud of myself for thinking of it (this was a long time ago when I was still kind of learning). I'm sure using a real "search engine" thing like Solr or something could give you even better results than a dumb "does string contain" thing that I did.
Coming from someone who relates a lot to the idea, but manifests it in vastly different ways, I'm not convinced that society needs to be "for" everyone. Some people just can't exist within it.
Unless you are hell-bent on writing obfuscated code, Python code is almost always readable. Even when I didn't know any Python or any other language, I could make an educated guess what some Python program is doing. However, I have seen some of Perl code and I was like wtf.

As for best practices, Python does insist on writing readable code a lot. Python people always nudge you to write readable code. Guido himself said he designed Python to be a readable language.In general, Python has the philosophy of one way of doing something which contrasts with Perl way where you can accomplish a task in numerous ways. You can't be too clever with Python (little exaggerated position). However, the same is not true with Perl.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think in 2012 chatbots still used handcoded rules. So we switched from handcoded rules to trainable neural networks in just a few years. Models like GPT-3 are interesting because they are conceptually simple, and are able to do (previously) complicated tasks without any explicit training (e.g. simply by processing lots of text and trying to predict the next word). This is a huge advancement in AI field, even if many more advancements are needed to get to the human level.
Anecdotal stories don't paint an accurate picture. I live in NYC and had Covid xmas week. It was ROUGH. (I'm double jabbed.)

>Don't ever give a salary history if asked.

Very true.

I believe NYC banned companies from asking for salary history a few years back. I was interviewing at a bank in NYC. I attempted to negotiate a salary about $20k - $30k from what I was making at the time, and the response from the interviewer was positive. I was then blindsided by the interviewer (who would've been my boss) after he asked what my current salary is and I let it slip out because I didn't know that it was illegal in NYC at the time to ask salary history. Afterwards, he said "huh, that's a big clip up, I think $X would be a bit more reasonable."
