> They aren't though

My "still competitive" remark was in reference to deaths per kwh. But to your point, I'm not sure what the deaths/kwh are if we factor in the supplementary natural gas / battery / etc required to bring renewable reliability up to par with nuclear.
What are these software engineering skillsets that are paying over $1,000,000? There are people who are technically ICs making that, but at that salary its mostly down to politics not technical skill, and they are ICs in name only.

>That's not a "wage shortage" unless you expect me to believe that software engineers are choosing to grind away on ERP software for $150k instead.

There are a ton of software engineers who are grinding away on ERP software are capable of handling the vast majority of work at most SV companies. Many of them can't pass leetcode style interviews despite being capable of doing the actual work. Some of them could but don't think they could. But that leaves plenty of engineers who just don't think the prep time is worth it. Those are the people who you could convince by increasing wages.z

I've worked with many smart software engineers in specialties outside of backend web development/distributed systems who are capable of retraining in a matter of months and would retrain if the pay differential were high enough.

Of course the other option is for companies to come up with more realistic hiring tests, lower the bar and fire quickly, or train employees and set a realistic retention budget.
Make a trip once a week or every other week into town (1hr drive) to pick up groceries.

Doctors, etc. - why do you need to be close? 1-2 hr drive for something so infrequent does not seem to be an issue.

You learn to fix your own stuff.

At least during the pandemic, housing outside of city centers have been in high demand as people seek more land/space.
I found you can get a lot of games that used to be good (e.g. Cut the Rope) in ad-free, IAP-free form by using Apple Arcade. Highly recommend for kids to give them a variety of great and challenging games without ads, and satisfy that constant desire for new stuff kids have.
Hmmm... maybe I should have been clearer and more explicit about the fact that there are times when you ignore the script entirely.

Companies that are known to pay top of market... Like you're not going to hammer Facebook or Netflix by saying "how much sucker?" if you're in a bottom of the market bracket.

I also ignore the script when it is a company that I'm really interested in and excited by.

I should clean that up. Thanks for the comments.
This is what I do. That email in OP is gross.

"Hi, thanks for the message. I would appreciate as much detail as you can via message. Interested in location, compensation, and what specific problems they need help solving. Thanks!"

I don't take a call unless the work description is specific enough. I don't want to work on your "backend". If asked, I tell them my comp expectation is min +50k over what I currently make. And I sure as hell am not moving to the bay area.

You’re Wrong About the Backlinko and Semrush Acquisition
I have to expect that many of these patents will expired soon. I mean, when is the last time Blackberry has done anything innovative?
Absolutely true. 3rd party recruiting agencies have very different motives than an in-house HR department recruitment.

An easy tell-tale sign is that they withhold the name of the company until they get you on the phone. They have a contract saying once you're in direct contact with the recruiter, you are in their pipeline and they get rights to bill a portion of your contract.

3rd party agencies are incentivized to get you the most amount of money they can, so they can skim off the top. They are highly motivated to move you through and get you signed as quickly as possible, qualified or not.

In house recruiting doesn't have this constant need to move candidates, and will be fast or slow depending on the needs within the company.

Gro Intelligence is building a platform that harnesses human expertise and machine learning as it assists users attempting to address two of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today: climate change and food security. At Gro, we illuminate the correlations between the Earth's ecology and our economy in ways that reveal the big picture and that help people act on the small details, and we are always on the lookout for people who can help us achieve our goals.

Fundamentally, Gro is a big data platform. Deep domain knowledge and machine learning power all of our applications and underlying analytical engines; scalable collaboration defines our engineering culture. We are a rapidly growing Series B ($85M - January 2021) company that provides our engineers with the opportunities and resources that they need to thrive.

As we scaling out and up, our technical infrastructure group needs engineers who are passionate about building and scaling systems (think decomposing monoliths, CI/CD, scaling data pipelines from petabytes to exabytes) and who have at least one area of deep understanding in software engineering fundamentals. Our code base is primarily Python currently, but we will be transitioning our foundational layers to Rust. We welcome C and C++ programmers who are looking to transition to Rust. Apply here: https://grnh.se/24ac6dbd4us

We are also building a new team staffed with engineers with strong frontend experience and API design knowledge. This new team will construct a framework that lets internal and external users rapidly build and deploy new solutions/visualizations (React) using our data.
Apply here: https://grnh.se/6c20efd34us

As a Gro engineer, you will build out systems aimed at providing the world with the most relevant, accurate, and actionable information on climate and agriculture. If you love a good challenge, have deep expertise, and a desire to make a positive impact - or just have more questions about what we do or what opportunities are available - please don't hesitate to reach out to us at jobs@gro-intelligence.com
I'm not sure how you go from "Never ignore a recruiter" to "Always respond positively and interview with a recruiter". There is a middle-ground where you can reply, without being positive and not setting up an interview, while not burning bridges that you might want to cross in the future.

Hello! My name is Richard!

Graduated UT Austin in Electrical and Computer engineering Spring 2020 (undergrad)

NXP CES2020 demo described in my resume: https://www.nxp.com/video/introducing-the-nxp-aws-connected-...

Looking for a change in company culture and a more ambitious role. Working on transitioning out of electrical engineering/embedded systems/hardware engineer to full software
Agree 100%, but this isn't in the context of one or the other, it's in the context of doing the maximum of both.

Sites that want nuclear and have the extra money for it should go forward full steam ahead, but current construction capability in both the US is extremely low. Even at maximum build capacity, neither the US nor Europe will be able to build at the pace they had in the 1970s. And as the 1970s-era reactors reach natural end of life, we won't be able to replace them as quickly as they leave the grid.

In contrast, renewables and storage deploy quickly, on time, and on budget, and the capacity for production is at least an order of magnitude larger than what we can do with nuclear.

This isn't an either/or, it's a "yes and" but it turns out that nuclear's contribution will be fairly small in comparison.

The big asterisk is that countries of the former Eastern bloc have the infrastructure in place. No one will keep old and expensive nuclear reactors around and build a district heating to millions of homes from scratch.

I’m interested in collaborating with a small team of other software engineers on a project. I have 6 years of experience and currently fulfill a senior role at a startup. I know python, Go, node.js, vue, and I can handle most dev ops tasks.

I want to build something a small project app with like-minded people.

I have some ideas of my own, but if I am honest I think joining a small team and then picking the idea we pursue afterwards would net the best results.

Hit me up here and we can chat more.
It seems there are a lot of studies where the author starts with the conviction that Aspartame is "bad", and designs a study to "prove" it. For example, "what if we give these lab rats a massively excessive dose of Aspartame every day for a year, and then check if that harmed them"

Although far away from the bay area (southeastern Europe), I had suffered many times from misleading forecast and lack of cameras around. If you consider expanding the idea more globally, I'd be happy to contribute.

I'm not super tech focused at the moment either, but work as a product manager / ba for the past 7 years and building a surf community sounds like fun.
Yes, but that's not how we _learn_. You can read all the succinct bullet points of advice you want, but seeing a lesson explained through the eyes of an engaging story is a strictly better way of _ingesting_ said lesson and makes you more capable of actually pattern matching situations where it is appropriate.

"Consider things from others' viewpoints" is a summary of the lesson, but you could have told that to the mother in the story all day long and she wouldn't have grokked how to apply it to her situation, or even that she would benefit by doing so!
Strong disagree. I've made it my policy to never work with a recruiter that isn't affiliated with the company they're hiring for. Recruiting farms like Cyber Recruiters (yuck) will do everything in their power to waste your time out of sheer incompetence and disinterest.

I've "doubled" my salary plenty of times through this policy.

But the real secret sauce is referrals. Companies always prioritize a strong referral, ignoring mediocre interview performance, and will even skip the reference checks so I don't have to bug my network.
Thanks for explaining - that's how I also understood it, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I am an almost daily user of mariadb. However, when i google anything mariadb query wise i instead type mysql. As the two dialects are nearly identical but there is more documentation available for the mysql search keyword on google.
Hahahah, I was going to say something abiout "covid vaccine tourism".

The combination of comments raises enough doubt about the claims of high vax rates not protecting people that we can simply ignore it.

Folks: please stop claiming your data proves something if the observation is better explained by biased samples. In this case, we're talking about a tiny nation that has significant through-traffic, so it's entirely inapplicable to more or less any large nation.

If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it's that people won't even mildly inconvenience themselves to benefit other people. What's more, that will become political.

I mean think about it: is it easier to reduce global CO2 output that'll no doubt make things more expensive at least in the short term and require concerted action by other countries like India and China and with all of that it'll probably take decades to see an impact or to just form a voting bloc and get the government to bail you out when your coastal town gets flooded?
COM nowadays runs mostly out of process unless you like crashing the whole application, hence the reference to nano-COM for in-proc APIs that are basically OO ABI.

That is why any modern Windows has plenty of COM Surrougate processes running at any given time.

As for D-BUS, I stand corrected, I though it had such optimization in place, just as other mechanisms offer.
