(20 person company here) We've been giving raises above what we normally would do simply because it's not fair to have a developer who's 1 week on the job, same skillset, making $15-20k more than someone who's been working with us for 2 years.

When giving the raises, I've been saying "This raise is to keep our pay competitive with the market, and will not affect your regular annual review" (we also give raises to people annually)
We'll have to agree to disagree on most of this, which is fine, better than having a stupidity-driven argument. I'm sure the aspects of Perl that are weird and gross to me are great for some other people.

I'm curious about this. Can you point to any specific evidence that being "backed by Google in 2005" was a momentous event for Python? AFAIK Google is not a major player in the Python scientific computing / data analysis / ML community outside of TensorFlow, which was introduced after Python was already huge.

> The touch pad becomes hypersensitive.

I haven't seen a lot of the problems you're seeing, but I definitely have seen this one. Not only is the touch pad hard to use because it's very sensitive, just using the builtin keyboard can accidentally cause the touch pad to be activated. I've read up on ways of fixing this in Linux, but I haven't quite found the trick to make the touch pad behave as well as the Mac touch pad, which is what I'm used to. I haven't even really found a fix yet, so I type very carefully, avoiding resting my hands on the laptop, when I'm not using an external keyboard.

"as long as it's optional"

DRM systems ultimately become de facto mandatory, even if they remain optional in theory.

"not controlled by a remote corporation"

Hardware DRM systems ("trusted computing") are inherently controlled by remote corporations; at the end of the day someone has to certify hardware-bound keys, and someone has to revoke leaked keys. Companies routinely try to obscure this crucial detail but if you dig deeply enough in the documentation you will inevitably find it.

Sure. However that won't last forever. It will drive companies to innovate away your job. I go for a McDonalds breakfast after my bike ride on a Saturday and the checkout staff are basically non-existent now. They instead have self service touch screens.

Why? The productivity increases might be for other reasons. Automation (many jobs have effectively been automated away), outsourcing to other countries.

Norton AntiVirus now includes an Ethereum crypto miner that has several problems including deceptive rewards program and difficulty in uninstalling it.

Norton keeps 15% of all Ethereum mining proceeds and "pays" the remainder into a users "Norton Crypto Wallet" which is hosted by Norton. It should be noted that the Norton Crypto Wallet cannot be used to make Ethereum transactions, but can only be used to transfer value to a Coinbase account once a certain minimum threshold of value is accrued. The Norton crypto mining and Norton Crypto Wallet are effectively a gift card system where the money can be withdrawn, but not unless a certain balance is available. It should also be noted that the Norton Crypto mining software is reportedly very difficult to uninstall, requiring administrative level privileges, and even then reports indicate effective removal is difficult.
Add a little line noise for the average 30-70y/o house wiring and you get 43 hours for 33.6 or 50 hours for 28.8. It took running a brand new line in order for me to get 56k. So, the parent comment is accurate.

It was absolutely prohibitive for the average person with a shared line, and the direct comparison to shared line today is a metered connection. Even in the US it can be as much as $30 per gigabyte which would make that 60MB download cost $1.80.
Answers like this seem bizarrely naive of US history. Before racial discrimination was banned by law, there were entire thousand mile swaths of the country where black people couldn't get any level of basic service, couldn't buy a house. Saying it's within the rights of any individual service provider to do this ignores situations where they all think in exactly the same way. Individuals are subject to systematic problems introducing bias into their own thinking. It's not like 1950s southerners all just happened to be racist because, free of any cultural influence, they all individually rationally decided that was the best way to be.
Wow, you're right! I find that quite counterintuitive, I wonder what the mechanism was.
Good thinking - just eliminate all logging then when you get a sentry stack trace just mark the ticket as “not reproducible” when it’s not possible to recover what went wrong with the code from that.
Do you have a picture?
> I think what the post is trying to say is that you should let your exception bubble up.

It's not an either-or situation though. Even if you let the exception bubble up and sentry logs the exception, logging performed prior to the exception and at the time the exception is caught (prior to being bubbled up) as valuable context to how the exception happens, which can lower debugging time.

The exception just tells you that something went done, it doesn't always have the reason why something went wrong. And the context for why is not always available at the time of raising the exception (the context may be from a prior function call, or the consumer of the function that raised the exception).

I wrote a tree editor for programs for my Master's thesis, in 1980. You can get it at https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~radford/MSc-thesis.abstract.html

The editor operates on the AST down to the lowest level, with careful design of keyboard input and cursor feedback to make that not too painful for things like infix operators. The language is described by a grammar, and there is an AST macro language.

My conclusion afterwards was that the shift at that time away from keyboard input towards editing with a mouse was negative for editing in terms of the AST (rather than text), since with AST editing there's a less direct connection between seeing and pointing and what you're editing. I got interested in other things.

But perhaps that was a premature conclusion.
I worked on a real-time telecom system, and had to debug issues that heavily depend on timing. Regular logging impacted performance and changed timing, but when we implemented logging properly we fixed this. Our solutions was in-memory ring buffer that stores only data and pointers to formatting functions, logs are formatted and printed on-demand.
> I have been laughed at by passengers in my car before for using my turn signals when no other cars were around

The times when I think "no one is around me" are the times using my turn signal has been MOST useful. Same thing in parking lots. If I see all the other cars on the road then I can drive defensively and avoid them. The turn signal is important for the cars that I DON'T see because it gives them a better chance of avoiding ME.

Belarus is run by a mad man and his killer elite. There is no worse country to pass gas through.
I track TV shows in different languages online. So I see, for example: 3 Belgian shows, 3 Danish, 1 Finnish, 11 French, 23 German, 2 Hebrew, 14 Japanese (not counting anime!), 19 Swedish, 19, Thai, 6 Turkish, 50 Chinese (also not counting anime/donghua), 61 Spanish, and 220 Korean.

How much that reflects my search terms and how much reflects Netflix development deals is unclear, but my general perception is that Korea is in a different league than most others.

All of these are lower than the thousands of US/UK shows, of course.
You don't think using maps, trees, recurison, bounds checking, conditionals has ANY correlation with day to day programming?
yeah, that is definitely rough for American standards and probably not sustainable. After going back to the article, the confusing part is that the hours are so inconsistent. I wonder if they are running 3x 8 hour shifts and people need to stay longer to cover vacancies or close out problems that occurred on their shift.
What do driving practices have to do with vaccinations? Do you actually have any reason to think that the pro-vax population is more prone to unsafe driving practices? Or is your point that "in a large population, I bet I can find many people whose actions don't perfectly align with the principles they identify with"? Such a statement would be inane--it's been known for thousands of years that virtually nobody passes the test of totally consistent principled behavior (see Diogenes, who was "looking for a [truly principled / reasoning] man", and could find none).

Six years in a row is more than just a fleeting thing; obviously we have no way to know for sure what will happen in the next few years, but it seems likely that Rust isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Right now you need to choose your own option. We're planning to automate this in the next couple of months. I will say, this isn't always a bad thing. We have a lot of users who switched from Tailscale because it was frequently falling back to relay, often via public relays that were hundreds of miles away from them, causing big increases in latency. We want to give people the automation, but also the choice.
It might be unusual if these Taiwanese 12-hour shifts don't actually come with 3 days off, and are just in addition to "regular" hours, 5-day work week.
If the Netherlands are anything to go off of, thats just due to lack of infrastructure that trains people and helps prevent mixed traffic and conflicts caused by mixed traffic.
It's not training: they 100% know that you're supposed to signal, stop at red lights or stop signs, park in the middle of a traffic lane, not cross a solid double yellow to pass someone going the speed limit, etc. The people who do that are choosing to do it because they feel whatever they're doing is more important and they know that most police departments stopped doing traffic enforcement years ago because it's beneath post-9/11 warrior cops unless they're looking for an excuse to search someone's car.

You left out the important part: Trump incited a violent insurrection against the government based on a transparent lie with, so far, no negative consequences.

Trump's election was not a failure of democracy, merely a failure of common sense among the electorate. The failure of democracy began when Trump tried to get the secretary of state of Georgia to "find 11,000 votes". It continues now that he is successfully promulgating the Big Lie. It will be complete when he is "re-elected" in 2024.

And one or two slates per year is indeed manageable, assuming they are in an accessible spot. If you're unlucky they are not and then you have to get to the spot to apply your fix without breaking more slates, which can be quite a bit of work (remove slates to make a path to the spot, fix, then rehang all the others, and hopefully they were uniform).

I've had one storm bad enough in NL that we lost some rooftiles, which were fairly easily replaced. Since in the rest of the country people had lost whole roofs and other houses in the same street were in much worse shape and comparing with the few houses that had slate I'm pretty happy with my good old 'dakpannen', which are almost maintenance free (due to the angle of the roof).

The worst is thatched roofs. Those require pretty much bi-annual upkeep and tend to become rodent infested. They look pretty in the first 10 years, a bit garish in the second and depending on their state of maintenance horror shows in the last 10. I'll never live in a house with one of those, people like them for status but they tend to be people that can afford to pay others to do their work for them.

This is always such a weird take. Mars isn't going to be a 'utopia' in any of our lifetimes, Musk is also aware of that.

On the other hand, the point of modernizing the UX is indeed to make things more accessible, but that is absolutely necessary if we are going to expand beyond Earth.

Ignoring the idea of a Mars colonization effort, even just a roundtrip to Mars is a several years long mission. You're going to want to simplify the 'routine' parts to allow the astronauts to focus on training for the unknowns.

I don't think shift duration changes the headcount, it really depends on the total hours per week each person is working.

There's 168 hours in a week. If people work for 40 hours a week, to cover the 168 hours you need to employ 4.2 people for every employee you want on the floor at any given time. That means everyone works 5 8-hour shifts, or 3.3 12-hour shifts per week.

If you reduce headcount by 33%, that works out to 2.8 people per employee on the floor, which means everyone works 60 hours per week -- 7.5 8-hour shifts, or 5 12-hour shifts. That's a lot.

I agree with your latter statement but I don't think that overdramatizing helps. Someone looking at their phone while the car is stopped at a light is not creating much of a hazard, even if it does take them an extra second or two to get going.
