(Throwaway for obvious reasons)

The market's been extremely hot the past 10 years. Anyone making a good tech salary and investing has done extremely well. I have enough to never work again. I didn't want to leave my team, but at some point your portfolio fluctuates every day by more than your salary and you have to ask yourself what's the point?

Note that in the US at least, owning a physical item can be legally important due to things like the first sale doctrine.
A girlfriend of mine had surgery on both wrists.

She got the Dragon Speech software, and I was surprised at how
good it was.

You can of course dictate all your notes, documents emails.
It also provides means to navigate your OS, start programs, close them,
and a lot more.

It is expensive but she could do most of her work with two hands that didnt work.

A while back I saw a video about a guy who wrote code using such software
(not sure what he used in particular).
This can be tedious "Open bracket", "new line" etc.

He had spent a long time tuning it so it was fast and efficient.
He used a set of custom grunts and noises as "macros" for all the bracket
brace, and other symbols that are in heavy use in programming languages.

If you were just listening to him and didn't know what he was doing
it sounded a bit distressing.

>> Your IP address, browser and OS (via user agent), the website you visited, the pages you visited, time of visit, the site you came from (via referrer) are all personal data.

No. These are all not considered PII. Only the IP address in this list definitely is.

All other information with a wholly anonymized user would be considered by most interpretations to be ok. Often it depends on the context and presence of other meta-data on whether something is PII or not.
Sure it does! 3:1 is enormous in terms of creating a social pressure of adhering to gender norms which would likely exaggerate the existing bias.
In the tech industry, I'd generally recommend looking around every 3-4 years, unless you have golden handcuffs and you don't think that can be beat elsewhere. Any longer than that and you risk settling into a box of which you may become unable to think outside. Any shorter than that, and you probably aren't maximizing your potential, in terms of promotions and learning those fresh perspectives and new tech that will benefit you in your next role.

At some point, you may get to the level where you're happy with your comp and happy with your responsibilities, in which case it might actually be best to stay around as long as you can. Not my cup of tea, but it's definitely something to think about.

In other words, good on you for looking around after a few years!
1. Mediocre leadership. Hands down the biggest reason.
I just started a new job. The CEO of my previous employer decided to do a surprise reorganization which involved firing the entire management chain above me. My new manager after the reorg asked me on the first day “so, what do you do here?”. I’d been working there for 9 years so I didn’t take that as a good sign.

My new job is fully remote, has very interesting work, and my compensation almost doubled.

I have already referred 4 of my previous colleagues to my current company.
Arguments of attrition aside, I don't agree with this model.

Maybe I'm not understanding what an edge is supposed to be, but the author implies that "something" is lost when the edge disappears. That doesn't make sense. Knowledge live in the node, not the edge. You don't just forget a project you worked on just because someone left. If you lose access to knowledge when someone leaves, that's because you did a bad job of preventing silos.

Further, someone who has deep domain knowledge is valuable even with 0 connections.
That's a pervasive story that lots of people want to be true, but I can tell you firsthand it's not something you should bank on. I've definitely left jobs because money and only money. I've definitely watched co-workers and friends do the same.

There's definitely a ratio of job satisfaction / money where more money won't cancel out a toxic work environment (there's no reasonable amount of money that would persuade me to work for certain companies or return to certain jobs) -- but generally, I'm in it for the money. That's why it's a job and not a hobby. I got a mortgage, a family, and retirement to think about. I generally write off my work hours as an investment in those things.

If I start a salary conversation with my manager about more money and they rejoin with "what's bothering you?" that's not gonna go well. Now I want more money and you're being dismissive about it.
Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment
Just use sci-hub. It always works, and it's very easy. There's no good reason to give the journal your money to read an article they had no hand in writing or funding.
I work at a large bank in the UK with around 25k employees. I joined in November. i'm leaving because upper management like to dictate to the engineers what tooling we should use for our CICD platform.
Hospital confirmed in two cases, physician confirmed in the other. Really scary stuff.
>They don't go easy on people, even if its for "show"

I think quite the contrary, if it's a show trial, they'll get maximum sentences. Giving them minimal sentences would make the whole thing pointless.
Content-free.

TLDR: "So how did we lose the women in computing? They did not just leave; they were pushed out. There is hard work ahead of us to start to undo the damage."
I suppose. Some problems with mmap() are a bit hard to fix from user land though. You will hit contention on locks inside the kernel (mmap_sem) if the database does concurrent high throughput mmap()/unmap(). I don't follow linux kernel development closely to know if this has been improved recently, but it was easy to reproduce it 4-5 years ago.
>I'm looking for a science-based source

Science is the last place I'd look if I wanted information about diet. Some of the worst, least reproducible stuff comes out of the nutritional science world. You can find studies for and against every diet and class of food.

The best place to start is tradition. What have you and your ancestors traditionally eaten? From there, make changes based on how you personally react to certain foods. From here, you can now very carefully look over some scientific studies to somewhat corroborate the effectiveness of your traditional diet.

But this is not nearly enough. As you do this, you have to be mindful of frequency; seasonality. Maybe your tribe kills a mammoth and you eat nothing but steaks, fat, high meat, and jerky for a month. Maybe your hunters come up short for the next month, so you live on foraged berries and rationed pemmican. In winter storms, the last thing you want to do is venture out into the crippling blizzard, so you subsist on stored tubers, or maybe you just starve for a week (you'll be fine). Maybe this kind of randomness is what your body is adapted for. Maybe this is your ideal diet.

Maybe Jews, Christians, and Muslims discovered the benefits of randomness in their diets and that's why they codified the practice of fasting in their books. And maybe there actually is some modern valid science to corroborate these ancient traditions.

This comment is basically arguing that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29932479

They frame it a little indirectly, but it's the underlying core of their point.

You can advocate for policy that reduces crime while still enforcing laws against criminals and not excusing the criminal behavior.
I love this laptop's form factor.
Oh, haha, then disregard my intuition that it would help avoid stylistic critiques :-)
Based on the advice given from our French, Hong Kong and Luxembourg lawyers, it's not legal. But the barrier for _proving_ that it's not legal is very high.

PayPal don't reply to account holders, and they don't reply in any tangible form to lawyers. PayPal forced us (and our lawyers) to sign three rounds of paperwork before they would even acknowledge correspondence from our lawyers, despite the fact that our lawyers were obviously retained and representing us.

Likewise, the delay between each step averaged 1.5 months.

At the end of all of the hoops, they gave a copy-pasted letter that said _exactly_ the same thing that their initial "You can no longer do business with PayPal" emails said.

They know that legal representation is expensive. They know that you'll have to get representation (at least in the EU) in multiple jurisdictions. They know that by drawing out the affair over months, you'll bleed money, and at some point, you'll end up saying: We've lost more money on lawyers than PayPal seized, and you'll give up.

The only recourse that appears to remain for us is actually going to court (and our claims won't fit in the small claims court). At which point, while they'll possibly return the stolen money, they won't re-open the accounts, so we still lose.

In any case, I feel we have a moral obligation to force them to court, with the hopes of establishing some case law for other merchants.
It's just an idiom. But to clarify I'm not on this particular horseshoe at all.
Calm down... from the article:

"Note, though, that EBV would then be in the "necessary but not sufficient" category. There's something about the interaction of particular human immune systems with EBV infection that pushes things over into the pathological state of multiple sclerosis, and we don't really know how to identify these people. But that fits with what we know about infectious disease in general - everyone's different. The situation with Guillian-Barré is similar - a small number of people tip over into neurological pathology, for reasons unknown, and that one also often seems to follow some sort of viral infection."
True in many parts of the world. U.S. copyright law makes no exception for copying content you own, though I do agree it may be hard for media companies to prosecute so you'll probably get away with it. The Betamax Supreme Court case was won -- 5-4 -- because the court found a single, very narrow, noninfringing use for a VCR: recording a television program that will air only once and never again after that single airing, and you cannot be around to view said television program at its scheduled time, and you intend to destroy the recording after viewing it once. The ruling does NOT cover recording off the TV willy-nilly, or copying things you own; there is a dicta in Justice Blackmun's dissent stating these things to be explicitly illegal.

But I'm not talking about doing the copying itself. I'm talking about circumventing DRM which is a separate offense from copyright infringement. That is illegal in the USA, with certain specific, narrow exceptions, whether you use such circumvention to infringe copyright or not. Trafficking in circumvention devices, including publishing or downloading firmware that disables access protection measures, is illegal full stop.

(Remember DeCSS? Yeah, hosting that is still a federal crime, irrespective of what you or your audience intends to do with it. The irony is, that means the Feds have every right to take Eric S. Raymond's guns away and bar him from owning a gun for life: http://www.catb.org/esr/netfreedom/)
I'm leaving because I'm not a fan of our tech stack, thought it would be fun. I was wrong. Going back to mobile (Android), I also just miss it.
Smoking your first cannabis while drunk was indeed a bad idea! Hopefully the experience made you think about the abuse of alcohol and its consequences.
Is that really going to solve any problem?

70% of college graduates are now women, and there are still complains of income disparity etc.. Now we even discover there are not enough "eligible bachelor" to marry..
Why is compensation #1 though? There is a threshold where you have enough money and it's easier to work with people you know and like. So, what do they need that extra money for? As I mentioned elsewhere housing is currently the #1 issues I see here in Canada that people are focused on. If you are a front line person, making $15 at a restaurant, plus renting where housing costs $1m+, you are probably looking for options (vs someone who owns a house and is making $150/hour as a dev).

This is a leading question to expand on why compensation matters. Personally, I fall into the group where I could probably make more but really like my group. So, there is risk with leaving (bad boss, toxic culture, too much work, etc) vs making more.
In a way I agree with your concerns but I'd say that the main issue is with some evolutionary aspect of the language. My guess is that we see it happening in Brazil more due to sheer population size.

Looking at your examples:

- Brazilians borrows words from other languages a lot more easily than the Portuguese, especially when the foreign word is shorter. No wonder "time" gets more usage than "equipe".

- "tu" is going to become extinct in Brazil within the next generation or two. People only use first- or third-person conjugation anyway. "Você" is going to be used for making the distinction between the actual subject of the sentence, and coloquially people just say "cê", which is just as short as "tu", so I don't see it surviving for long.

- Disagree on "Mas/mais". Yes, it is true that a lot of people make this mistake or (worse) don't even know the distinction, but this type of error is equivalent to English "they're/their/there": there is no redundancy or efficiency, so I don't see why the language would change here.

- "dou-lhe", "lhe dou": also going to be extinct due to the redundancy with propositions. You (and I) may not like the "caveman language", but it's undeniably more efficient to just throw verb + proposition + person than to deal with different pronouns.
Every team I have been a part of in the last 10 years had been at least 6/4 split male/female. What is it with press and academics summoning problems out of thin air? Also Damore story is more about corporate abuse of people in the spectrum as opposed to some corporate breakthrough in diversity

If that's perfect, then I'm a monkey's uncle. It's definitely more code and less ergonomic than the previous procedural methods. You can also see Rust's syntax bursting at the seams when they declare widgets...
Interestingly enough, my EV is so much more enjoyable to drive (especially in the mountains! it's so pleasant!) than any of the old diesel stick-shift cars I drove back in France. Feels like this is another of those "I liked doing things the hard way for no reason and I miss it" articles.
The closer you can get the words "quantum" and "gravity" together in the title the better.
They're too powerful for glass.
All the productive people have already left.
There are still too many managers who don't understand one of their primary responsibilities in a market that favors employees: making sure that their best engineers don't leave. The job market won't always be like this, but you'd think that they would have figured it out by now during the current run. It's been nearly a decade at this point, and the pandemic has tipped things even further in the favor of the people who make the sausage.

This is so true. On modern sports cars (like the Audi R8 and Ferrari 458), it feels like they injected the steering rack with Novocain. Try driving a pre-1995 sports car if you want to get a feel for the difference.
It’s a UI library that’s showing UI controls that are written in C. It’s dishonest to call it Rust because it wraps those controls in a layer of Rust
Similar situation in my current workplace. A lot of ppl are quitting to take some time off to gather thoughts and help family go through those tough times.

In IT if you are a good dev and keep youself up to date, it will be not hard to find a nee job.

But finding a new family will be a lot harder..
There was a huge disconnect between management at the top and those on the ground.

I think some managers never learnt to correctly judge workload and responsibilities. They we're rewarding those with minor responsibilities for achieving goals and harshly punishing those with huge responsibilities for minor misses.

This inability to judge workload and responsibilities was previously hidden by people's presence in the office giving bad managers a proxy but now the flaws in that management style are being exposed in the most extreme way. Entire teams are disbanding since as soon as one member of an overworked and under-rewarded team leaves the problem for that team is exacerbated.
When the worker has another offer in hand, you've already lost as a hiring manager/org.
I Convinced My Neighborhood to Use Monero. You Should Do the Same
Current job is focused on $x and I want to do $y. I guess that's similar enough to new challenge/learning?

Another reason - job is too easy and undemanding or there just isn't that much to do. I could have coasted and collected a paycheck (I did for a little bit) but I just knew that it's bad for me to stay there long term. I imagine this is some people's dream job though.

And more money of course is a factor. I once left a job that I really enjoyed doing for one that I suspected wouldn't be that great just because I could more than double my salary (it's not that impressive, I was just severely underpaid at the first job).
One important thing to note is that EBV is extremely prevalent. Almost everyone gets it eventually and very few of those people develop MS.
I'm pretty sure the last time I went to a cinema was ~2013 and I haven't looked back since the experience is just all around awful and expensive to add insult to injury.
Tea, water. Sometimes a digestive biscuit with said tea.
Yes, different sides, same coin. Not sure how state run military forces are more authoritarian than one single centralized military force, though.
Culture is such a vague term and everyone has their own definition. Not only that, but also the answers to what a good culture is are even more vague. Like embrace transparency or move fast and break things. At best these statements apply metaphorically to an imaginary scenario. If it stands for let's get together and drink beer every Friday that's more tangible, but I haven't seen companies codifying those lately and instead gravitating toward more vague non-sensical statements to keep most people relatively happy and certainly not to piss anyone off.
That's hilarious (and very impressive), but also not applicable to the vast majority of humans that use touch screens! I mean, just how much do people type on touch screens?
This is one of those that unnerved me as well the one time I drove a Tesla - I don't know if the display is accurately representing the car's model of the world around it, but it seems to me that you'd want to assume that real-world objects don't just disappear when you can't see them anymore; they have a size and shape and velocity and you can estimate their location based on relative movement (with, of course, ever-increasing inaccuracy) even if you can't clearly see or identify them at the moment.

Though, it seems like such a basic thing that there's probably some tradeoff that I'm not thinking of.

The not-so-glamourous origins of standard track gauge
"They" is almost exclusively singular in those circumstances, regardless of its etymology. Similar to how "you" derives from the old English second person plural pronoun, but is in virtually all variants of modern English acceptable for the second person singular.
Company I'm with uses it and has had almost no issues except for a special circumstance when we merged with another small company. That was difficult to clear up, but everything else has been smooth.

My company loves Gusto. And personally, it's the best payroll experience I've had.

Sorry your experience is subpar. Hopefully it clears up
The article seems to be a survey of some recent pieces on this topic. The titular question, however, cannot be answered "how?" without answering "when?". I, too, heard it is the early personal computers. I suppose that it did not reduce the interest of girls in computing, but rather overinflated the interest of boys.
How did we lose the men caring for children?
As a Brazilian learning Spanish, I definitely have a hard time saying perro. Perrito is way more difficult.

> usually involves screwing over aforesaid people.

So take a high profile example, say, Elon Musk: explain to me how he is "screwing over" the "aforesaid people".

Because, from my perspective, he has produced massive wealth for many, many people: retail investors, anyone with a 401k, employees, etc. etc. Not to mention, Tesla is almost single handedly responsible for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
The meta for everyone in software development is to change jobs every two to three years to increase your income.

But people generally leave when the company stops being fun for you . I doubled my income at a job I enjoy after leaving another company and joining a startup and doing some freelancing in crypto / hyperledger software prototyping. I also lucked out since I was hired in 2019 and I paid all of my credit card debt and my investments made my net worth increase to $200k.
Er you think I was saying that women getting pregnant more often than men was not a reflection of reality?

I did make the argument with more. I gave you actual stats. Where's yours again? (other than a thorough analysis of undesirable countries). You continue to make unsupported anecdotal arguments countered by my stats. At the most elite levels of accomplishments requiring "more energy", your little biological advantage isn't there. I have more actual stats for you: older students get higher grades and graduate at higher rates than younger students.
