I'm fortunate enough to be paying off my house next year and strongly considering an early retirement. Granted I'm in my 40's, I just yearn to work on something I can poor my heart and soul into even if it fails. My dream is to write a video game and the only thing prohibiting that is lack of time. I've done an IPO, I've worked for FAANG/MAMAA, I've done keynotes at conferences, I've been an IC, Manager, Director. I feel like I've got everything I've ever wanted out my career and I don't know where else there is to go. At this point I just want to take everything I've learned and apply it to something I own, full time. That's the next dream I guess. It's a scary thought, but working for other people for another 20 years seems just as scary.
if you're body says it's hungry, feed it.

i like mixed nuts, hummus, dark chocolate covered almonds, bananas, apples (great air fried with cinnamon), tons of sparkling water, coffee, date rolls, cliff bars, dark chocolate, spicy sichuan peanuts, dried mango

edit: almost forgot fancy cheese!
This article really resonated for me. I’m thinking back to my undergraduate degree. I didn’t learn about the web until 1994-5 while interning at a computer company in the valley (the browser was Mosaic). Ok. What’s this? Oh. Your personal bio page. And you like carpentry.

During my undergraduate I had learned about the life cycle of technology, and ‘early adopters’. That seemed like the place to be _if you could afford it_.

So on the one hand you don’t know just how little you know when faced with something completely new, and on the other hand you like the latest and greatest cool new thing, but it often takes a great investment of time or money, or both.

And here is the Amish. Putting family and community and their beliefs first, and taking the time to let the rest sort itself out in time.

I also admire Buddhists, but they don’t want to own anything. Amish way of life seems like a middle ground. But this is all just armchair talk. Pay me no mind.
Just to clear some things out: the "_" on the <input> is something hyperscript specific (not part of htmx). You could (and should, I guess) go with native JS for the validation.

Hyperscript is another project from the same author of htmx and is a side project not related to htmx. Though, it can be complementary.
Also, I saw a lot of parallels with Playing to Win by David Sirlin [0], about competitive gaming.

One of Sirlin's points is that the most common reason casual players lose is because they restrict themselves to a subset of legal moves. I.e. they play the game they think exists, or they think is "fair", rather than the rules as written.

Transposed into negotiation, Voss feels very similar to me. Whereas most people get distracted with the minutiae, or their feelings about the negotiation, or 1,000 other non-rule parts... he treats negotiation as game.

Not in the sense of "fun" or "lighthearted" (he worked for the FBI!), but in the sense of understanding all the actual rules, and using those rules to win.

Good thing you can vote for more than one.

I doubled my salary, got to work from home and got to work on a really interesting project. This last year has been really good for me!

Yes, but focusing on the astronomically low probability scenarios while failing to discuss much higher probability scenarios is a bad look.

That's a tough question. A recommendation from a friend is probably the best bet. And when they do come and do the work, offer them drinks and snacks, make them comfortable. They will remember that since 90% of customers don't do that. You can also give a tip. I do all of those things and its worked out well.
The most insane strategy (which got everyone I know pirating content) is:

1. Create incredibly addictive tv shows

2. Release episodes once a week, with a huge cliffhanger

3. Release in Europe/UK one week behind the US

A growth hacker couldn't create a better incentive for piracy if they tried. Anyone know why this is a thing?
I have never met a programmer I respected skill-wise that wouldn't randomly spend a weekend locked in a room solving an esoteric problem they felt they had to solve (for no reason). Over the Christmas holidays everyone at my company writes PoCs or hobby projects, being glad to have some free time away from paid programming in order to enjoy recreational programming.

What I'm trying to get at is software engineering is an easy career if you're literally obsessed with it, and most software engineers are, or at least were at some point (it goes in cycles).

If you're not gonna do that, you simply can't assimilate the huge amount of knowledge needed to truly excel in even one facet of programming.
... unless social acceptance is their goal?

As social creatures, humans derive significant life satisfaction from their place in their social environment. In fact, I'd argue that having good friends has a much greater positive effect on life satisfaction than where you live.

To your point, teenagers are often not wise enough to realize pursuing their career and life goals should take some priority over avoiding social stigma at that stage in life -- since most of their peers will be out of their lives in 3-5 years anyway.

But antisocial behavior for its own sake never yields lasting rewards.
One way I've found is to dig into C/C++ extensions to Python. The Python C API reference is very helpful: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/index.html

It can be quite fun to implement a simple data structure (tree, queue, etc.). in C and bind it to Python.

Otherwise, you can get a lot of dirty details by reading the source to complicated/magical libraries (e.g. pickle).
Land value tax and appatments. The vast majority of people will rent, the rent will be stable, and it will mostly not go to do-nothing lanloards.

It would be interesting to see statistics on use of newer C++ in companies known to have relatively stringent coding standards and code review regimens. I suspect that it (still) isn't so much about crappy code as much of the value of C++ being sunk into legacy code that determine the constraints put on *new* codebases.
Oh wow yea and on top of that, I wonder if anyone has considered that they might be getting forced to work for the FSB!
Hello Russiagate, Impeachments ... how long did those go on.

Increasing trust in the outcome would go a long way. How about trying to make the election more verifiable. Put it some real biometric features into mail out ballots. Instead we get, no id required to vote. Doesn't really build trust.
For one we could stop electing idiots who only care about enriching themselves and maintaining the broken power structure
I think its more like nobody is leaving jobs just to paltry 5-10% pay bumps. Naturally people are far more likely to leave if we're talking like a 20% or more bump, even if they're satisfied where they are.
Is principal engineer typical for 20 years experience where you are? Or are they typically stuck at senior engineer? Because if you're ahead of the average already like that, then indeed it will be hard to do better elsewhere.

Having said that, yes I agree it does seem that at higher levels companies are a lot better about fitting compensation to that of competitors.
Have you tried the popular extensions like FB Purity[0]? As far as I know there's plenty of options that do what you want unless they've been broken by Facebook recently?

I haven't tried them in a long time since I do want to see posts by pages and groups I'm in (why else would I follow them), and don't see any of the stuff people typically complain about anyway.

I think this is an often missed point. The managers are often just as overworked as the employees but have to handle negativity from 2 directions, both their employees and their managers. They are just people and often their hands are tied due to company policy. They are often just cogs in the wheel as much as we are.

I think the point is that the sequence is searchable within the database of known viruses (virii?) and it is not speculation, it literally does not exist in any sequenced virus in the wild. I'm not sure what you mean with the goalposts comment.
Is it? Those astronomically low-probability scenarios have a track record of creating real-world catastrophes.
I quite literally just quit and my decision was 90% because of compensation. I more than doubled my pay, which completely changes the material circumstances of my life.

Do engineers leave for 10% raises? Probably rarely. But for 50%-100% raises? That seems like a damn good reason to leave.
On the other hand, I just got on-boarded to a doctor's office system that included a warning (delivered with the on-boarding link by SMS) that the website would "only work on a PC with Firefox or Safari".
The alternative to my interpretation is "because there is a list, nothing not on that list is a protected class". That interpretation omits the parts of the sentence I highlighted as much as I omitted the list.

Can you say more about this? I'm glad the top comment here is actually about the application itself and would love to read more about this.
I'm not aware that any of the words used in Big Time are legal terms of art with particularly specific, legal meanings. There is a developing body of case law around FRAND---fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory---which directly inspired Big Time. But it's not as though there is a separate dictionary of legal meanings for common words that courts use. Rather, they have rules for how to read to find the meaning two sides likely meant in context. Some of those rules involve looking at general dictionary definitions.
> However I don't know what this "non-aggression principle" is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-aggression_principle

Often summarized as "don't hurt people and don't take their stuff."

Kind of used it on purpose because vegans would want to apply it to animals and then there would be a debate about whether it should be etc., when that doesn't really matter here -- the vegan libertarian is perfectly entitled to consider factory farms a violation of the principle and use that to condemn them and refuse to patronize them.

> That kind of "violation" doesn't seem to be like violating the terms of an agreement; it seems more like "violating my personal space".

We're getting caught up on the semantics of the word "violate." Someone could just as easily accuse the company of not supporting free speech and end up in the same place.

1. It might seem like the paper is enough to reproduce to you, but in my field, it’s not more often than it is. Hell, even a software version change produces different result with the same params and seed. So don’t exclude a possibility you’re biased.

2. Code IS a competitive advantage. Some times you’ll reach out to the author to ask for clarification. And after some back and forth they’ll just suggest you send them the data and put them on the paper because they don’t really want to disclose the details or the method they’ve previously published.

3. I don’t think you’ll have issues if you share less than perfect code. Most reviewers are as bad at production code as you are.

All in all, I think sharing code advances science. Yes, there’s gatekeeping, tricks to keep the knowledge inside the lab. But didn’t you choose the field because you want to advance the knowledge, help humankind? Making your research more reproducible by sharing the source code is a step in that direction.

I worked at the US hq of a .DE manufacturing company, and can attest to this.

My team was about 3 people (Americans, with our manager having worked in the German HQ for a few decades), who worked mostly on separate projects, and most of the headaches I had were due to change being opposed. I would try to do something, or request some sort of access to perform some task, and would get blocked by red tape that wasn't made visible until I was being told that I wasn't following a process that wasn't explained to me in advance.

There was one person whose sole task was managing the company-wide JIRA instance. If you wanted your team's board structured slightly differently, good luck. When I requested permissions to create a Component, the denial went to my manager instead of me, and I got a stern talking-to about 'the way things need to be done'.

On top of that, for a team of 3 people working on projects that are exploratory in nature, I'd expect that the local SQL server install (We didn't have the license key anymore, btw) would allow for us to have admin or developer rights. It originally did, until someone decided to change it, and I was the only member of the team who lacked that access.

I tolerated it for about 2.5 years (First job), but Covid gave me a great reason to quit!
Willing to be there is a study that shows that most of the time the employee will not leave or is bluffing and that financial analysis shows its better to just let it play out. This analysis is probably true in a lot of industries but tends to not work so well in tech. So many tech workers are just mercenary with our jobs that we just ask for what we want and by the time we ask we are already out the door. In tech the business should realize their job is to actively work to keep employees from seeking competing offers especially in the current job market.

If you are using a relatively recent version of C#, you can get quite close to it, specially now that using can make use of structural typing.

And with help of Roslyn, any type with a "destructor" (aka Dispose) that gets used without a using declaration can be turned into a compiler error.

Wait until you find about about languages like Hindi where the plural form can be used for respect even when referring to an individual :)

I hadn't realized that calling an individual in plural was even a point of contention until comments on this thread pointed it out (likely because I'm used to it from Hindi). Don't forget, the author may be bi/multilingual.

This is just simply incorrect.

Theory is not involved in this. We know that a given protein will always (more or less) fold into the same configuration every time, generally on their own. We know this by doing experiments in which the protein is denatured (heated to break internal covalent and some ionic bonds, and then left to anneal (cool down), and then inspected at the atomic level for the resulting structure. They always fold back to the same shape. This is an experimental determination, not a theoretical one.

Nobody was ever successful at devising any comprehensive theory that explained how they did this, though they of course identified many different elements that are likely involved in some way (hydrophobicity, local charge, possible compactness and many more).

But there is (currently) no theory that connects protein amino acid sequence to structure, which is why AlphaFold was such a huge deal. It makes the connection (somehow), without any theory builtin, and without any theory to explain.

In fact, there is not even a theory that requires that they always fold into the same shape.
No sympathy here. They've been steali..err..seizing funds for decades, and dodging the lawsuits by leveraging their clout. Sure, maybe they have some regulations to follow, but they willfully choose to ignore the folks they're stealing from, instead of helping them to understand the process of getting their stolen money back, and prevent money from being stolen from them in the future. I hope they're squeezed hard on this one.
They should do this more, I needed the break.
This is generally a pretty interesting article, but I wish he'd expand into the other risks inherent to pools of mortgages:

1) Default risk - Obviously if I invest in pools of mortgages, and a lot of people stop paying their loans, I am exposed to risk. In many cases I'm insulated, because if someone defaults, I now own the home and can sell it to recoup my losses. But there's costs associated with foreclosing and in some cases, the value of the house goes down by enough that I can't recoup my money anyways (see 2008). We slice and dice mortgage pools to reflect this, so that the junk bonds are at the bottom and pay more and the AAA are at the top and don't lose anything until the lower tranches lose everything.

2) Interest rates rising - he discusses this in the article. If interest rates go up from 5 to 10% then any notes I held on a 5% loan are worth less.

3) Interest rates falling - this is called "pre-payment" risk and is what makes mortgages so interesting (and much harder to value than corporate bonds and most other loans). See point 2 for why rates rising hurts the owners of mortgage notes. You might think that rates falling would therefore help them, but it doesn't directly correlate. If rates fall enough, many people will refinance their loans. You have the right to pay off your mortgage at any time and another bank will be happy to step in and give you a new loan. So if rates fall from 4% to 2%, you can bet that most people will refinance. If I'm an investor holding a pool of 4% loans, then most of those loans will get paid off and now I'm stuck being in a market where I can only buy pools of 2% loans. Corporate bonds generally don't work this way. Auto loans technically do, but given the size and durations of the loans, it's usually not worth the hassle to refinance in the way it is for a house. This pre-payment risk makes the modeling of mortgage investment much more complicated, but also more interesting than many other financial securities.

Yep, there's no shortage of European politicians to sabotage their countries' national interests to do the US/NATO bidding. After all that's how they're funded and annointed. If their local embassy doesn't give the get-go they don't have much of a chance...

And, apparently, there are fellow European citizens who still buy this charade. At least if they're from Poland or something similar easterny, it's their age old beefs with Russia/USSR that are a factor (though it's funny to see them believe Germany has their best interests at heart). But who can say why western european countries want to be the US lapdogs...
