Median household income in the US in 2019 was 62,400 EUR (69,560 USD). Median software developer salary in the US was 98,800 EUR (110,100 USD), and the US is known to be uniquely and grossly lucrative for software developers compared to the rest of the world. Considering 60k EUR per year individual income to be too little is a very SF tech area thing to say. As a mechanical engineer in Canada, I cannot relate to that at all.

I don't think there is any country in the world where doctors work for 40 hours, regardless of the economic model.

The world of human disease places some limitations on what can be done. Many people either do not have the grit or the stomach to become doctors (I could easily learn the theory, but I couldn't cope with all the blood, pus, vomit and frequent feeling of helplessness). People develop critical problems at 2 am. A doctor should know their patients and vice versa; they aren't fungible and ping-ponging a sick person between shifts tends to worsen the outcomes.
Aside relevance:

so this member checks his internet consumption and has a little shock seeing that he seems to have burnt over 5GB in a few hours, which were especially odd since he could not remember having done anything special, as some practical reasons rendered it impossible in that timeframe. He started suspecting malware.

Than it dawned on him: in those hours he spent time scrolling one page in Reddit. Ludicrous as it is, that remains the only relevant voluntary activity.

And then he planned to start monitoring consumption systematically through `iftop` (which also needs permanent in-session memory of total consumption per address/domain, by the way).
I contest the amount: it was excessive.
I hate articles like these. I sleep 6-7 hours, and it works all right for me. When I sleep 8+ hours, I feel a bit more fresh, but that doesn't really help me do anything more in my day. Id rather have the extra hour to duck around on Reddit or (ideally) do something productive.
I think the point was that diversity is often lacking in situations with bad people, because those bad people behave in ways that undermine heterogeneity...especially by mistreating the people who are different.

Since racial heterogeneity is a more easily observable situation than, say, diversity of opinion, it's a healthy sign of a tolerant culture. That doesn't mean that a workplace lacking racial heterogeneity is bad. It simply lacks the canary. (If I'm interpreting GP properly.)

There is a lot of talk about inflation. But isn’t inflation most of the time a temporary phenomenon, because productivity and innovation catches up. When there is inflation its the perfect time for people and businesses to pivot to disruptive technologies and products.

For example, in late 2000s oil went up as high as $150 per barrel, gas was super expensive. People started talking about electric cars and renewable energy, companies like Tesla took advantage of that. Also fracking started coming online after that period and oil became relatively cheaper over a long period.

Anecdotally, they totally were. In my immediate friends group, families that were eligible for stimulus (making around $120K/yr) spent it on luxury items including photo cameras and as a downpayment for new cars. I don't know anyone who bought a peloton but extrapolating what I saw in my circle, it's totally believable.

You are probably not. But why should I care how many of the people who won’t use my phone need them? Not all apps have to cater to the majority of people.
Why not just have the trusted vendor expose an api for all the info? An append only linked list is ludicrously expensive solution to this problem. To a person with a hammer, everything is a nail.

Also, the problem itself is very convoluted and likely doesn't exist in the real world. You trust the vendors enough to let them do the data entry but distrust them thinking that they will manipulate the entered data somehow? It's a very strange situation

The same applies for most of the social platforms. Especially for those with E2EE messages. By definition, content cannot be moderated on there.

It is rather diffucult area and the decisions are often made based on by the popularity and the variety of the users on the platfom . It is easy to ban an app which is mostly used by rightwing-extremists for example, but not the app which is used by everyone. So, what is the right way?
I've been teaching people to use Rust since 2011. It is quite common for someone coming from an interpreted language background to not realize that they have to manually ask for optimizations when building their code. In such circumstances they often come asking for help saying "I must be doing something wrong, I rewrote this Python code in Rust and it appears to be slower somehow?" For a long time on the /r/rust sidebar we even had a note saying "before asking for help, have you tried compiling with --release?" And indeed, once they turn on optimizations their code goes from as slow as Python to as fast as C. The OP's case is completely representative; a 14x improvement merely by compiling in release mode is entirely in line with what I have observed.

This may be surprising to people coming from C or C++, where unoptimized code is slower but not that slow. But the point of Rust is that it's selectively provided as many zero-cost abstractions as it can, which when paired with a modern sufficiently-smart backend like LLVM boils away those abstractions into nothing. It's a great feeling the first time that you crack open the assembly output for a highly abstract chain of iterator/closure chains only to find that the whole shebang has been reduced to a handful of fixed-form arithmetic operations without a loop or a function call in sight. But the tradeoff is that you do have to perform the step of boiling those abstractions away.
If one were to replace coreutils in a GNU+Linux system with this, which is MIT licensed, would it be fair to call it MIT+Linux?
Corporations & Companies that have such high margins made out of cheap foreign labor,constantly lobby for further cheap labor because the price of living in the west is constantly rising, and hiring local hands damages profits.

I'm seriously wondering if people are only pretending to be stupid when talking issues about issues akin to this one, where it's very easy to scream: "racism" instead of providing actual solutions, or even discussing the problem.
Germany has a lot of problems, as do other countries that rely on the 'never-ending' supplying of foreign labor(which is unrealistic).When you cut the pipeline of cheap labor: see the 2014-2016 boom which ended with corona, people act surprised when local communities won't do the job because the pay is a joke for their needs.The solution is not regulation or creating volatile unions, after all the markets eventually truly balance out(assuming players play fair).The core issue to be tackled is the ease to which companies can strangle local economies because they rise the cost of living through the mentioned cycle.

Funnily enough, the article states that China will surpass US economically in the 30s, yet it maintains the rhetoric that immigration is the solution.It's not: If you're a fan and want to replicate the Chinese "success" at least acknowledge what they did: population boom(to such a high degree that now they have an aging problem), vastly increasing their middle class, etc.Some of the western corporatists applaud a nation that rose up in a fashion that has nothing to do with their own proposed solution: immigration in china is de facto null.('Maybe' it just has something to do with massive profits made there.)

Now i'm not saying let's replicate China, because nobody mentions their dead body in the closet, but let's also not propose a "solution" that has been tried so many times and besides being a brain drain, it's a constant push from companies showing their greed for 'cheap' profits.
Awesome! Kudos for owning your own data and infra!

I don't think systems administration is a lost art, people just wanted to do things easier for less money and staff, and no one can blame them or the industry as a whole. The art is still right there, linux hasn't changed that much in 20+ years, I still have my first discs. It also takes some experience to "feel" your way through systems administration problems, working from the bottom up of course, feeling like its a network problem still has a high rate of success when troubleshooting for me!

I try everyday to teach some of these skills to people I work with, I just call it devops, or SRE, or some cyber cloud support position someone makes up, they are all systems admins/engineers to me still. I enjoy watching people learn and apply that knowledge to future problems, getting to the root cause or close to it, and the satisfaction that comes from fixing the issue from start to finish on your own, looking things up is not cheating in systems administration!

I don't think the salaries are a bad joke, but if you bring that point up, also compare how worker rights etc. are a bad joke in the U.S.

Whatever salary you get here, you will get a much more secure life than the equivalent (inflated) salary in the U.S. gives you.

There's no silver bullet. Ultimately you're responsible for copying records from a source, no tool can magically solve that for you. If you change your schema or need to backfill, it's good to have strong tools and frameworks to handle that.

Ultimately data pipelines are code, and need to be treated as code. If a library or API changes, you make the associated changes required.

The problem with all of these tools, CDC or not, select * or not, is they still just punt the problem to you. Instead, I've had wild success building tooling from first principles to fetch records in batches or streams, as a first class API rather than a backdoor hack.
inflation is 7%ish, not 5%ish. but generally translates to much higher cost of living increases for the middle class
I’ve logged my work time (automatically with time tracking apps) for over a decade. I’ve also done a significant amount of hourly-rate consulting where I’m very careful to only bill for actual working time.

When I was younger, one of my early challenges was that I had been misled to believe that only time spent in the editor, writing code counted as “working”. There’s a somewhat pervasive idea among devs that meetings, e-mail, communications, team discussions, and other such facts of business do not count as work when you’re a programmer. It led to some anxiety before I accepted that collaboration and communication is also work, something that seems obvious in retrospect but was difficult to swallow as a young programmer raised on Internet forums.

Some people default to the other extreme, where they seem to count every hour as “work” if they did anything remotely related to work during that hour. By now, I’ve worked with a lot of people who claim 60-80 hour work weeks simply because they check their phone and type out single-sentence replies in Slack or e-mails on evenings and weekends. Some of the laziest, least productive people I've worked with are the same people posting on LinkedIn on Sunday morning about their 80 hour grinds every week.

Two better metrics I’ve found for gauging productivity are total hours spent in work mode (in the office, or sitting at my home office desk) and total time spent in time wastes (Hacker News, non-work Slacks, Twitter, and so on). If I’m accumulating more than 30 minutes commenting on HN or scrolling Twitter, it’s a sign that I’m not really engaged with work and I need to shake things up.

I’ve shared my time tracking tools and techniques with a lot of people that I’ve mentored. It’s some times shocking for someone to realize that they’ve been spending 4 hours on social media (Discords, HN and Reddit are social media) during a what’s supposed to be a workday. Many of them gauge their own level of focus as average or better than average before actually tracking it. They might even be surrounded by friends or peers who engage in the same amount of distraction during the day, reinforcing their own behavior. Usually once they see what they’re doing as a hard number they can take steps to break the habit, but for some it’s so deeply engrained that they don’t understand what they’re doing until they see it as a number.
I’m confused what you mean by non-productive in this sense. In my country, the vast majority of aid money was in the form of massive “loans” to companies that were later forgiven presumably to avoid them going under/bankrupt.
it does through CO2 taxation or similar models, however I think the current levels aren't sufficient.
> End your day without any self worth reward and struggle the next day due to the alcohol or paranoia of reliving the previous day.

There are definitely ways to mitigate this way of thinking, one being understanding the "spot light effect" the "phenomenon where people tend to overestimate how much others notice aspects of one's appearance or behavior."

Also to do more structured based social activities.

I don't think that a `diverse` environment represents a healthy environment. For now, `diversity` is just a buzzword like `machine learning`, `artificial intelligence` or `internet of things`. I believe that people should be hired based on their skills (including social skills).

Why not use concatenation?

I used to work pretty long hours (worked 2 jobs - back when I had first kid and was still under mortgage).

Now I spend more time with my kids and try to work as little as I can (optimize "productivity pulse", while minimize total time on computer)

This is my data of 2018 and 2019 respectively:

- https://www.dropbox.com/s/55v7g4cn7ol0ix2/2019.png?dl=0

Some personal observations:

- On average, I achieve 75% productivity pulse

- There are some crazy days where I worked over 15 hrs, with maybe 10 ~ 11hrs being productive (read: code)

- Since I was moonlighting, I was most productive on the morning (9am - noon) and after 10pm (kids went to sleep)

- I don't meditate much, but working out really really help!
Bummer for the developer, but bad stuff happens randomly to people. Google is able to operate because of the scale of automation they use. I use Google services but often back up my data.

For this developer, as someone else said, Fdroid is a possibility. Same problem as with Apple’s store. I have one app on Apple’s store, but it is free and simply an example program for a book I might finish writing someday.

I would feel nervous depending on either company’s App Store for my livelihood.

This is a weird way of talking about feeling. Do you correlate your sensations of happiness or impatience or satisfaction against normative models using objective indicia, or do you just, you know, feel them? When someone tells you that they are feeling one of these things, do you tell them that there is no objective way of understanding the words that they are saying, or do you refer to your own experience where you reached for similar words to understand them?

If you live in a society, you are surrounded by archetypes and roles and norms of gender - or of the performance of gender - which might be a helpful way to think about this post. Things like what clothing and grooming is appropriate are easy examples - and depending on where you are in the world, those standards may be radically different - in some cultures men are expected to adorn themselves to be attractive to partners, in some it’s women. But it’s also what emotions it’s appropriate to display, what kind of authority is afforded to a person, what physical strength and which ailments are reasonable, what kinds of body hair is attractive. We have words that describe a favourable performance of those gender roles (womanly, manly) and unfavourable words (effeminate, mannish). They are enforced, or at least patrolled, in all kinds of ways. Easy example is the kind of differential permissiveness around alcoholism. Why is that? If we have a social or a moral standard, why is it gendered?

You have without a doubt experienced this in your life - and if you’re lucky it’s been internal and not at the hands of the local bully. If you’ve ever checked or modified your demeanour or your outfit or your tone because you are aware that it is too girly or too butch or too macho or too slutty, then that is the sensation of being trained back towards the model.
And massive payrises to boot
People who constantly say that [large company] does nothing to block malicious/spam content are underestimating how motivated the bad actors are and how many there. And when it comes to measures to prevent this stuff, there's a balancing act to be done. Because things that make it harder for malicious actors also makes it harder for everyone else and will increase the false positive rate.
This is an extremely amazing project because it's actually trying to come up with a replacement that can be used as such. Nobody is going to rewrite scripts to use exa instead of ls for example. The coreutils are also somewhat the "basis" of the shell userspace.

Outside of the test failures and missing features, the only reason one might not want the coreutils is the size.

Right now, cat on my system is 44K large, while the default output size for the cat executable in release mode is 4.4 megabytes in release mode. If you enable a bunch of options in Cargo.toml to reduce the default bloaty settings (lto = true, codegen-units = 1, strip = true, debug = false), you get that down to 876K. Which is still 20 times larger than the native cat. For true, it's a similar story. 40K vs 812K.
