Reducing the "overcomplication" problem to a "communication" problem doesn't help, because it suffers from the same shortcoming where these Dunning-Kruger-esque paradoxes are concerned.

All too often the pattern is the judge saying or thinking something like this: Since the subject matter is amenable to proof, and since I, the judge, am such a smart fellow that I would certainly be able to follow any proof presented to me with little effort, my reasoning now works as follows: Step 1: I expend little effort when passing judgment. For example, I shall feel free to pass judgment by declaring something to be "overcomplicated" if it comes from a person about whom I hold the opinion that he tends to overcomplicate stuff (fallacy). Step 2: The burden of proof to dissuade me from that judgment then falls on the enginneer. When he presents that proof, I shall then expend only little effort in trying to follow it, and if I can't, then it surely must be due to the fact that, on top of overcomplicating his engineering solutions, this particular engineer is also a bad communicator. Note that on top of piling on one piece of fallacious reasoning on top of another, this pattern now also starts to take on the flavour of special pleading. Step 3: I am then no longer under any professional or moral obligation to listen to pretty much anything that person has to say. And I will not let this stop me from using my influence to prevent this person from having a career in the company where I work.
Bernie Madoff started forging documents in the early 1970s and turned himself in in 2008. Twelve years is nothing.

Did code warrior/metrowerks have something for system 6?
People have always been that way. Before Rogan showed up, before the internet was even invented, there were "nutters" that had deeply misinformed perspectives which they followed, sometimes, to death. I'm sure someone will argue scale is the differentiator, but I'd argue that the proportions of people who ignore facts vs consider facts, is probably unchanged. (Although admittedly, I have no statistics)

Also I think a big part of the problem is the aggressive labeling of content as "misinformation" or "fake news." To me, misinformation implies propaganda issued and promoted by an enemy entity. But today, it is a term that is used to mean anything that has a fact (whether verifiably correct or incorrect) that implies a conclusion that is generally unacceptable.

For example, if the generally acceptable premise is: "everyone who is able should get a vaccination," then publicly talking to someone harmed by a vaccination (even if it's true) would be considered misinformation, because it potentially concludes something opposing the acceptable premise.

If we can't openly share ideas, good, bad, informed, misinformed, then the 99% (fake number) of us who aren't "nutters" that follow bad advice to extreme conclusions, will be denied the volume of data, perspectives, and opinions we need to make a truly informed decision.
I liked Deborah Tannen's remarks in the afterword of a reprint of "You Just Don't Understand".

The book is about her observations that some conflict between men & women resembles inter-cultural conflict; i.e. men would talk with a different set of cultural attitudes than women.

She said that people asked her how much that came down to nature vs culture. If nature, then the differences are what they are, and culture doesn't need to (and cannot fundamentally) change. If cultural, then inequality would reduce by ironing out the differences.

As I understand it, worry about gendered-for-girls toys comes from the latter view. (Differences lead to inequality).

(FWIW, Tannen's suggested solution is that differences as they are now should be recognised and worked-with).
Let's say "the all-time classics" instead. ;-)
I feel minor vs patch is useful for communicating and for the psychological effect.

Most people won't care about adding a stray function for one person. Major new functionality is different. Yes, this mixes "sentimental versioning" in with semver.

People tend to rate limit their major and minor versions, waiting until they get enough changes to "justify" it. While this can have a negative effect for small additions, I think its good to rate limit deprecations which are important for minimizing the impact of breaking changes.
Ohh, cool to know users are already here :D

Yeah, my main goal is to provide the product that users want and that's how it all started.

Our main goal now is to release eCommerce. (We plan on it sometime around March-May) but other ideas and general direction we want to go for is on the open road map (https://app.loopedin.io/bowwe)

True. I think everyone in Albania drives a second-hand luxury BMW, Audi or Mercedes fixer-upper imported from Germany.
They still have not released the server side pocket source code...
This is ridiculous. "We conclude" means you relied on evidence, "I think" doesn't? Give us a break.

If you have any experience reading scientific papers, you should know that this sort of language carries no information whatsoever on the rigor of the author's methodology.
Thanks - yeah, I did think that that list might be quite long... .

It's getting increasingly difficult to trust American-designed chips and systems for me at this point... and I can't help but feeling that people paid way, way too little attention to everything we learned from the NSA and CIA leaks a few years back.
I wish my kids were more into free play. When their sets inevitably get broken and end up in the communal box, that's usually the last time they play with it. I should stop buying them more sets, but as an avid collector myself I enjoy getting sets as much for my own enjoyment.

For them I think Minecraft scratches much that creative itch that Lego used to bring me.
The battery drain while lid closed and the firmware brick issues are totally unacceptable.

Also, it seems as if AMD based laptops in general have been crippled compared to Intel based ones. I wouldn't be surprised if Intel forces the laptop makers to cripple AMD based laptops, with the choice of discrete GPU, screen sizes, quality or resolution.

I'm happy to move to ARM Macbook M1 Pro, leaving AMD and Intel behind.
I’m honestly surprised people see this as anything new.
>He is in prison for leaking US governement secrets ( but outside the US), those things are still illegal fyi

No it's not, i can leak any secret from another country, there is no law that forbids leaking secrets from other countrys (good journalism would be otherwise impossible)...again you try to be smart but instead you are uneducated.

Why does manufacturing need to be under government control?
Flight into wind shear does not always lead to crashes. This does not mean that there is no need to train pilots for it.
Ah, the Balkans :).

Slovenia has a "sole proprietorship" system that's fantastic for IT professionals since it has standardized costs, which means in the end you pay 4% tax on any income up to 150k€.

But you also pay FIXED "social contributions" (aka. tax) for pension and healthcare since you, as an "s.p." are considered to have a minimal pay... no matter how much money you make. This is a little under 500€/month. This is due the first month you register your business.

This leads to a reducing effective tax rate - the more you make, the less you pay.

We also have no way of doing business if you can't afford the ~500€/month tax. As far as the government is concerned, everyone starting a small business just "magically" starts making enough money from month 1.

Watching ex-communists (who are still in power) trying to work this whole capitalism thing is hilarious sometimes.
Considering Valve is private, it's very impressive what Gaben has accomplished (and everyone who works there).
Just curious. Recently I have picked up the hobby of reverse engineering and I read that some electronics components such as a ROM can be protected by blowing the fuse after writing to it. Is there a physical, affordable way (under 5K USD let's say) to reconnect the fuse somehow?
And therein the biggest mistake TED made— poor naming of multiple TED brands that were were too similar despite the difference in presentation quality that they represented.
Also, let's note we used to learn about new products in ads well before they appeared in editorial content.
Yep, this site should tell you if your fingerprint is unique among all the other visitors, like other fingerprint sites do. I know a positive would only be meaningful if the website gets popular, but a negative would say a lot regardless.
Perhaps ecosystem is a better word than community.

How npm works and the policies by company behind it.

PHP composer is much more sane than npm.

And all the different package controversies like leftpad.

Lots of bogus and malware packages.
> With Python and any of the Python frameworks, it's two lines. And one is most likely not explicitly bringing in HTTP request parsing, but just connecting all the plumbing.

Yes, but in the case of PHP, PHP itself is the plumbing. You literally write `$_POST['param-name']` and you have the data. Using Python would require you to either write a bunch of logic enough to abstract it to have it like PHP, or require a 3rd-party library (or framework) for it to be one line.

> You seriously need to play more with other languages. I suggest you learn one or more of the "weird" ones, such as APL (avoid the ASCII notation, dig deep into the symbols), Erlang, or Lisp. It'll bring in a lot of perspective for you.

I'm saying this as someone who does play with lots of languages almost every day and my day-job is writing Clojure code (for both backend and frontend work). I might have missed a "As most of every new language" part in my previous statement. I'm not saying all languages are C-like, they're obviously not. But most of the popular new language do have a syntax-heritage stemming back to C (compared to languages with S-expressions), like Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, C++, C#, Python, Ruby, Golang and more, and they are mostly focusing on being general purpose useful.

Btw, I don't think lisp-like languages are the weird ones, the C-like languages are the ones that are weird. You should play around with more languages and you'll see why :)
> I see a lot of specious arguments and strong statements that are usually generationizations focused on the negative.

Doesn't this go both ways? People hear the loudest voices in the room, both for and against crypto. As a personal anecdote, I asked an acquaintance who is really into Internet Computer[1] how apps that implement the Matrix protocol[2] compare to something like OpenChat[3]. Their response was unconvincing, mainly because it was more like generalized marketing hype for Internet Computer and not actually addressing my question directly.

So I think while there are plenty of folks who blindly hate on the crypto/web3 ecosystem, there are also a lot of people trying to engage constructively and getting pro-crypto memes thrown back in their face. Where's the space for nuanced answers to these nuanced criticisms?

I think borders are stupid and should disappear. But I also know that there are too many reasons it's not that easy in the real world.

In a way, passport inequality is a result of economic inequality. Rich countries have no problem opening their borders to each other. And although I have no experience with it, it sounds like it's not that hard to cross borders between some poor countries either. Rich people are welcome everywhere. But allow poor people into rich countries, and everybody is upset.

Opening more borders would be easier if there weren't any refugees, economic or otherwise. If everybody was free to settle wherever they liked, I think most people would still prefer to stay near their place of birth if they could afford to. The problem is that extreme poverty in one place and extreme wealth in another, naturally draws people to the rich place. It's always been like that. In the middle ages, people moved from the countryside to the cities (and still do). Now people also want to move from poor countries to rich countries. It's natural, but the rich countries want to protect their rich-people ghettos. So we create ever stricter and stricter borders and visa requirements.

To create a more free world, we probably first need to create a more equal world. Freedom and equality need to go hand in hand. But too many established interests prefer the world the way it is.
The advice I got was to stick your dirty second-hand Lego in a pillow case, zip it shut, and put it through the washing machine.

Bernie was the chairman of the Nasdaq, the thing you want to preserve by fighting all crypto.
Interoperability isn't juat a technical problem. It's also an economic and game balance problem.

All three problems are insurmountable. It's just a monumentally stupid idea.
These are all valid points - in fact I have my own (almost-but-not-quite-finished) semi-retrocomputing project too: a cross-platform MOD (the old Amiga music format) player written in Go (https://github.com/nieware/go-modplayer). Which may not be useful to a lot of people, but at least it was useful for me getting better at Go. That's not to say all of the things I do in my spare time are useful though - most of the time I end up playing games or browsing HN, so even less useful than reimplementing version management for an ancient OS.
But this are not the only info. OS language, dark mode preferences, fonts installed, all this stuff goes a long way in helping pinpointing you.

I went from a ThinkPad (T61) to MBP and have used these ever since (except I bought a second hand T61 a couple of years ago, still liked the trackpoint but hardware too slow and 32 bit). The Apple Magic Trackpad 2 (not the big one though it might also be great) is an amazing trackpad (on macOS). It made me not miss the trackpoint (which is very useful given its size, indeed). If frame.work's touchpad comes close to it, it'd be my main concern for non-Macbook laptops.
You can also get all of them at once from archive.org.

We don't say often enough how much The Internet Archive is a modern Library of Alexandria and a treasure of inestimable value.
First and foremost there is no magic formula. Your market value is whatever someone is willing to pay you, and there's no rule that this will increase linearly (or at all) over any arbitrary period of time.

You say you want "average market pay." What do you think "average market pay" is for a DevOps engineer with your experience and educational level? Why do you think that? Where are the employers hiring folks at those wages? I'm focusing on more thought-based questions since you asked about calculating your value as it is today, not necessarily just "how do I make more money" which has different answers.
Not sure... It's really on another level
OCCT is both large and also takes a long time to compile. With conda-forge there is a good mechanism for CI/CD builds of this complexity. Other OpenCASCADE-based python modules (pythonOCC for ex) are also on conda for similar reasons, so from an ecosystem point of view it makes sense. Given that developers have limited time I understand that they rather work on features than fighting with the various build systems and python package managers, and simply choose what's most appropriate on paper.

That said, if you need to mix various modules on conda it can really be a challenge to find a conflict-free configuration, I agree.
Why does them being private make what they have done impressive?
Where in Europe? 32k seems very low for your role.. I am not sure how people without university degree are paid but I still think it should be a lot higher if you have all the required skills. Also maybe clarify what cloud architect means exactly.
> Treat your staff like humans, not like crap.

That statement is vacuous because no decent human being would say: "I want to treat my staff like crap". It is easy to agree with your points because they are universal but don't provide any meaningful way to differentiate, e.g., what is and what isn't "treating your staff like crap".

Isn't Poem just... several months old? Your examples of frameworks for other languages are mature and established. Is the Rust ecosystem moving that fast?

I see more and more people believing in a future of big tech players being as authoritative as countries (I am not sure about that but I am hearing that a lot)

Imagine passports issued by Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc.. to their workers or to workers of smaller companies using their cloud services. The only thing missing is armies
Neat. There's also sc but I wanted to make something light and simple.
Isn't it generic to state "other than $100 throw away/kids tablets" or "the best bang for buck you can get as far as tablets go these days" ? There are different categories for sure:
* kids/don't care use
* generic use
* artists
* keyboard users
* etc.

You are also making generic statements of feature set, even within EU not all features are available on the parental controls for the same device. But I think now we are a long way from the OP question
I think you still need to have a passport, it just won't be checked by anyone. Unless you get arrested, probably.
And how exactly would the UN do that? The countries enacting and enforcing these sanctions, to be blunt, don't really care what the UN thinks about much of anything.
PriceRunner sues Google for €2.1B, prepares for long fight
> My kids have a mix of classic & branded sets and the play area is a mix of designed builds and improvised creations.

Amazing.
My kid just wants to get the build over with so he can get back to gaming or youtube, where he watches other people gaming.
I'm not sure if prototype is the correct word, but it certainly had a major influence upon Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa, who designed the Brazilian pavilion at that fair:

To be fair, so are automobiles. Stopping distance in wintry conditions can go up by an order of magnitude. 4WD/AWD does little if anything to ameliorate that, though some drivers seem to believe it does, based on my observation. Would you rather be crashed into by someone who thinks their 5000 lb pickup or SUV makes them invincible, or a kid on a moped? At least the moped operator has some skin in the game.
>Python 3.x has decided that breaking changes in minor releases is fine. My favourite: string prefixes (eg s'foo', u'foo') were legal in 2.x, removed in 3.0, added back in 3.3.

Python 3.0 was very much not a minor release, so your example is invalid.

The general point that Python does breaking changes in minor releases stands, but they do typically go through a deprecation period first.
Aren’t you doing exactly what everyone else wants to do? Mansion in the Sticks for me, but City Shacks for thee?

Everyone is making these same decisions up and down the society economic status lines and across the US.

One thing major cities could do to stave off cheap, cookie cutter expansionism is to buy up large swaths of land for city or state parks, and also cultivate those parks for high quality outdoor recreation. Such a policy would increase land price pressure (what local developer can outbid the government at scale??), particularly focusing on interstate corridors, which were built for… interstate commerce… but gets used for 40 acres and a mule commutes. The city comes away with a large land investment that it can prune as needed, or keep as a preserve as desired and directed by the govt/people.

Ok, so where does an already struggling community come up with $100mm to buy 200,000 acres of land surrounding the community? Land Conservancies are tax shelters where basically rich people or businesses commit their real estate assets to the government, or invest money in the conservancy to go buy up land. The land is conserved according to the conservancy’s covenant. Hold your nose, but its the fastest way to raise $100mm to tighten up development patterns.

Check out Wolf River Conservancy for a fledgling example.

> Except that the law and regulations are always behind once the early technology has been introduced, with early adopters getting themselves burned, sued or encountering significant losses - Hence the DAO hack of 2016. That is the reason why ICOs are now regulated.

How does this has anything to do with how technology was implemented?

I am not defending NFTs nor fighting regulation. I am saying that you cannot blame ether's smart contracts for creation of NFT.
Valve is probably only able to do all this stuff BECAUSE it is private. Public companies are concerned more with what pushes up numbers for 1 quarter and keeps shareholders happy than anything else.
But this is precisely the point of nationhood at all. Otherwise, what is the meaning of one's nationality? This is opportunity which gives you an unfair advantage vs less fortunate nations, which your forefathers created and defended for you and you can enjoy - and defend for your posterity.

It is like capital: you can be born into money and enjoy the unfair advantage of never having to work 9-5. Just collective, shared by everyone with the same citizenship. Do we need to abolish private capital too?

I come from Soviet Union where we tried to do just that. Result was the worst passport to have, truly :) to the point that the border defences were pointed inwards - to prevent escape rather than infiltration.
You won't find new things there, but you'll learn a lot of history and perspective in the computer magazines sections of archive.org.

The app itself needs to support Chromecast, on the OS side you just need to give it the "search for devices on the local network" permission. No full screen casting or stuff like that, but most streaming apps work nicely with the Chromecast.

The best option would be to get an Apple TV, but that's a bit expensive compared to a 19€ Chromecast and has a remote that goes missing every 10 seconds.
