It just seems like for the quantity of stuff we move around, we should have more rail. We have massive wide open flat spaces to build rail lines, yet, we don't.

Transport by car or truck accounts for 20% of US carbon emissions, while freight rail is just 0.5%, and the freight rail is moving 28% of all cargo "ton-miles".

Its not real money, nobody did put 320M dollars at the table.
It's hard to give generalized advice. There are many reasons why development is slow and it's only partly up to you. Getting packed with too many responsibilities can easily make you slow especially if you must also do typical operations/PM/junior onboarding. Sometimes refusing more work is the best thing to do and sometimes due to turnover it's just better to leave.

Since you've mentioned fullstack I guess this means you decided not to specialize. Being a little bit of everything is useful for some types of companies and work but is one source of also being inefficient. It's easier to pick frontend, backend, ops or some other specialization. Backend development is a bit more stable than FE but it depends on your taste. Having less specialities means its also easier to fit into certain job postings and crunch through the interviews but it seems to me you don't have an issue there. Being more specialized also passively makes you more efficient in that domain.

Also note that by switching jobs per year you've probably spent half of that time being onboarded. Obviously you'll be slower during the first few months at works unless you're doing something very standard and well defined. I'd also question the underperforming part. Is this due to overpromising? I've regularly worked with devs who overpromised and underdelivered. The trick here is also to properly time those estimates and take on as much work as you can carry. Note that when a company wants to get rid of you they'll always say its a competitive market or claim underdelivery but the real reasons are much more varied.
pretty much. the textbook industry is a huge racket
The whole discussion of whether we live in a Matrix-like simulation falls into this category as well. There are so many layers of oversimplification at play in most peoples' conceptualization of a simulated universe that it is hard to even begin to have a conversation about it.
There's precedence for this in the crypto space as well. In 2017 Coinbase famously reimbursed everyone [1] impacted by an ETH flash crash that pushed the price from $320 to $0.10.

Not trying to gate keep or anything but if you go into a space sim, or really any kind of simulator genre with just a KBM and not the appropriate controller you are going to think the controls are bad and insane. KBM works great for some types of games but sims are not one of them. I couldn't imagine DCS without a stick or iRacing without a wheel and pedals. Its simply a suboptimal experience and one the developers will never put all the much time in to because full fledged simulations cater to the type of player who is willing and able to invest in a specialty control setup.

There's a nice doctoral dissertation sitting out there for someone to demonstrate that cross-reactive T-cells mostly explain why some people get sick with Covid and others don't. Even better if they can point to a specific virus (most likely spread among children) that elicits that response.
This! I use a custom font for my blog because there are meaningful layout and design differences between typefaces. Even "similar" faces like Arial, San Francisco or Roboto look dramatically different applied to a whole page—font metrics affect the leading (line-height), paragraph width, font size and more. If I don't know the font, those are all unknown variables, and I don't want to QA my blog on 1000 different browser/OS/device combinations.

So I use two weights (regular and bold), each weighing in at 30kb, woff2 only, preloaded in the HTML and served with long-life cache headers. I know that some users have turned off web fonts, but they've chosen that pain. For the other 99%, I just want my blog to look decent.
I disagree, due to the fact that Amazon is a store that sells books printed on paper. You're reviewing the product as a whole. If you were talking about Goodreads, you'd be 100% right.
Ask HN: How do sites like Reddit and TikTok escape criticism for repost content?
After seeing numerous complaints from YouTube and TikTok OC posters, thr thought occurred to me that many sites now are encouraging users to re-host content originally posted by OC creators on those platforms to each other.

There is apparently a huge market for false creator accounts that re-post stolen content.

My question is How do sites like Reddit & TikTok escape criticism for duplicating YouTube content?

I think the platforms should hold a bit of accountability for this issue, as original content creators are often ignored, unpaid, and uncredited for most of the content that goes viral on platforms because of the repost culture they regularly don't account properly for?
I mean I would argue that the very reason I have subscribed to several of the apps I have is because I was able to do it through the App Store and I knew I could easily cancel.

Had that not been the case I would have never subscribed which gives the developers and apple that money.

Basically apple is getting more money from me because I took more of a risk on something.
$109B profit from a $635B investment over 13 years is less than 2% yearly return.

> I immediately notified Austin's police (APD) as I could see where it was going.

Was the tracking good enough to reasonably narrow it down to a single person?

I think people expect too much of the police with a lot of these tracking devices/services. I don't have any experience with AirTags, but I know Apple's Find My can narrow down the location of e.g. a lost phone to a street corner. But if you're in a city there's a decent chance that there's more than one person on that street corner. The police can't/shouldn't stop everyone there and search them. Tracking a stolen item to a house is even harder (need a warrant). And an apartment is probably impossible because I doubt the tracking is good enough to narrow it down to a particular unit.
It is a personal conjecture. Every time I come across price obfuscation, or not doing the straight forward thing, it is because the seller does not want the transaction to be as transparent as possible.

Tax deductions, credits, student loans, subsidized mortgages, taxpayer funded pensions, Medicaid reimbursing differently (lower) than Medicare reimbursing differently than Tricare, and so on and so forth.

It is always a political decision to reduce total costs, or drive the benefit to certain populations, or use liberal assumptions to present future costs as less than they really are and so on and so forth.

If we want people to have a house, give them money to buy a house. Or a house. Same with education, healthcare, everything. The big problem with this is cash has to be accounted for today, transparently, and cleanly. There is no option to muddy the waters.

"Restored" is not really the word.

They got robbed. Their parent and VC stepped in to bandaid over the terrible terrible press by throwing money at the problem in a bid to rebuy trust.

I've started asking people explicitly: how can anyone who has ever programmed professionally, entrust themselves to someone's program?

The interesting lemma is, don't we do that all day?

To which the obvious rejoinder is, yes, but when we do so, it is almost always in contexts in which litigation and consumer action and introduced a massive obligation of transparency, best practices, liability, insurance, and other regulatory oversight and burdens. Which still fails, e.g. when Boeing bug kill planeloads.

The wild west of this "smart contract" world has almost none of that.

Sadly the answer to the rhetorical "what are people thinking!?" is no mystery. Those that are, are mostly on the side of the grift.

One problem is once every other app is supporting it, it's hard not too, especially on mobile. I'm working on an iOS app at the moment in which it was decided to defer doing dark mode - every time I switch into it on my phone in dark mode it feels really out of place and noticeable.
Yeah, but wood-heated right, and emptied before it goes solid.
That's very nice and good. So if I struggle to pay my mortgage, why am I evicted instead of bailed out? It's highly unlikely that I be unemployed for the rest of my life, so I would surely be able to pay back any bailout, with interest to spare. Why do banks struggle and get bailed out, but people struggle and don't?

Or looking at it from another point of view: the money spent on bailouts wouldn't be stored under a mattress if it were not spent that way, therefore you cannot compare $109B with $0. You have to compare it, for example, with the money lost from the moral hazard of rewarding the irresponsible behaviour which led to the most destructive recession in 75 years, or to the effect the money would have had it been spent helping the millions of people that lost their jobs or had their homes foreclosed on, etc.
Replying to myself:

This got me thinking about what exactly I mean by status quo, I don't think it's quite as obvious as it seems at first glance.

One important distinction is status-quo as a goal, vs status-quo as a solution. Status quo as a goal often makes sense - when the current state of affairs isn't that bad and it would be easy for things to get worse, keeping things the same is a good thing. Solutions however rarely make sense, because solutions operate in a changing environment, and keeping doing the same thing is basically pretending you're maintaining the status quo, when you're actually yielding different results.

To use atmospheric CO2 as an example, status quo atmospheric CO2 would be a remarkable achievement. Status quo energy generation obviously fails to achieve that, because the baseline amount of atmospheric CO2 keeps going up.

Another thing to ask is status quo of "what", status quo of atmospheric CO2 would be remarkable, status quo of change in atmospheric CO2 over time wouldn't solve the crisis, though it would be a great improvement over what we have right now. IIRC status quo of the second derivative of atmospheric CO2 over time (i.e. how fast the rate at which we output it changes over time) is about what we currently maintain. It follows that status quo of the third derivative would be a major step backwards.

I think the conclusion I've been coming to over the last few years, is that "status quo of quantities that aren't rates is usually a good default for a goal". For atmospheric CO2 it would be a remarkable achievement. For geopolitical tensions is europe, it's not quite ideal, but we don't actually have a war and I'd be pretty happy if it stayed that way. For diseases, I mean, we aren't all dying, and so on and so forth. That doesn't mean it's always the right goal. If we're in the middle of a major war, we should be seeking a new status quo where we aren't in a war. Given that the new mRNA HIV vaccine actually works the goal should change to "reduce HIV" rather than "maintain the status quo" since that's now possible. It's just that status quo is a starting point for a goal and deviations from it should probably be supported by a solid argument for "we can do better" or "we can't even do that well".
How is it going to be monetized is a problem. The cost is basically negligible but not zero.

40% of Americans cannot afford a 400$ emergency expense

Time and time again, any attempts to provide a safety net are destroyed at the onset.

Majority of blue collar manufacturing jobs have left for China. Most states are flat lining and apart from tech what major growth industry is there? I guess if you work for a government supported industry you are safe (defense, military etc.)

In this environment seeing people fly in from the rest of the world and earn massive salaries on the coasts while the rest of the country is being strip mined for every last penny that it has left is not something that will endure support for immigration.

This environment has resulted in >50% of the population with a great sense of anger against the perceived causes. They will continue to vote in more and more extreme version of Trump to 'solve the problem'.

Yes the US is risking its last growth industry but those people do not care (rightfully so since they don't feel as if they are benefiting anyway).

I really don't know how the US is going to come back from this. The end result of this is some sort of collapse. There needs to be bold leadership at all levels that pushes back on the causes of these problems but I don't see anybody on the horizon willing to do this.

The best example I can think of to illustrate feature creep was the face expression tracking. I read they were working on something where your webcam could see your face and map the expressions onto your character in game. The fact that that went so far to be publicly known illustrates some kind of organizational disfunction.

Android is the dominant platform, and there is a lot of cool software missing. E.g. Any app that takes donations to charity or payments outside apple.
Maybe not cool to you because you don't notice the cut apple takes.

Apple users don't even realise there is competition in the keyboard market.

Of the many cool apps missing are the ones that require root. Neither platform provide that so loads of apps are impossible.

Android is the only platform if you want control of your own mobile device.

Apple give two hoots about that because they have no competition in consumer markets.

Lots of people have old iPhones they could be using for a load of funky projects or just plain simple software projects but apple don't let them.

Some useful iPhone apps that don't exist.

Mobile web server.

An iPhone is just a computer that Apple tell you what you can do with.
The bar is being set high for these vaccines because they are being pushed and mandated with very exaggerated justification, that they will end the pandemic. Rational people will agree that there are significant benefits to the vaccine, but I don't believe there is any evidence to suggest that these vaccines will get us to an end state where the virus is no longer circulating.

If you want people to go along with a medical intervention, state clearly the expected outcome and don't move the goalposts when the data changes. If the data is strong, you most likely wouldn't need mandates to convince people.
Good documentation is definitely helpful, but expensive and challenging to maintain (and keep correct). In my personal experience, documentation is out of date or invalid nearly the minute the ink dries... much better (again, in my experience) to have good, descriptive unit tests that fail when the code changes.

As my comment suggested, you could change that fear to inconvenience with minimal preparation: put some water jugs, canned/packaged food, and blankets+cheap snow outfit in your closet, and throw in a little campground propane burner for a nice warm meal. -17 outdoors is a warm ski day indoors.

We all seem to forget that we as people have a choice. Either we go where other people go, or we chose to go somewhere else.

It is not a precondition to have success in society to use an Apple device, so why does it matter that they chose to operate the way they do?

A developer might want to target Apple specifically because AppStore provides a potentially high consumer lifetime value client for your offering; but guess what, if you were as valuable to your customer as Netflix, you could abide by Apple's rules completely and still be a successful company. The AppStore in app purchase doesn't matter -- Netflix iOS just says, 'good luck! figure out how to sign in!'

Which gets to the other part of this, side loading != pay through AppStore. The 30% rake is the wind for this bill's sail, and it's not right. Just mandate alternate payment links like EU / whoever.

Side loading will lead to more 0 clicks and NSO breakthroughs. The surface of attack is increasing.
I have 3*25A in a relatively old, three-story house in Sweden. Heated with a heat pump. I assumed 400A was a typo but apparently not? I guess it makes sense considering the heating of the pool, the large surface area and maybe an EV.
TLDR: Compensate slowness with attention to detail, clear communication and better documentation.

The kind of person you seem to envy are people who are most likely pattern-matching against their past experience. I attribute this quick thinking to having come across those same/similar problem statements earlier. But getting there requires a good understanding of the problem space. This can only be done by spending time in the problem space and paying attention to details.

When working on a new problem these days. I feel like I slow down too. I now tend to go for the details. What I cannot make up in speed, I make up for with detailed solutions, thinking from the user's perspective, staying aware of trade-offs, watching out for unhandled scenarios, etc.

I also document all my work. Whenever I start working on a problem/ticket/issue, I create a new note in my personal note-taking tool. I document the commands, the new findings, etc.

Fun fact: For a limited time, I fulfilled the role of a Product Manager at my recent workplace. The engineers I worked with loved the amount of detailing in my product specifications. This was the result of slowing down and paying attention to the details. The above qualities/choices also resulted in me playing the implicit role of QA for the team. The concept of "implicit roles" is explained pretty well in this blog post on the StaySassy blog [1]

I try to compensate my slowness with attention to detail, clear communication and better documentation.

Attention to detail is as good a quality as quick thinking. I like this way better.

P.S: I actually wrote a long comment in response to this thread and then turned it into a blog post for myself [2]
