Ah yes, the common misconception that trades are simplistic!

Most trades (!including plumbing!) have VASTLY more stringent requirements than tech, are often more mentally stimulating, and yes, quite rewarding.

Disclaimer: I've worked in software for ~9 years and worked in trades before that. ASE master certified auto technician, father is a master electrician, uncles are contractors. I'll probably become a plumber.

> My point was that office-work is far away preferable to daily physical labor.

It's not. I've never been fitter than when I was doing physical work. The problem was the pay and the powerlessness at the workplace (e.g. awful hours with no notice, management compromises on safety, the expectation that you'll keep silent when management cuts corners or cheats the clients/customers, etc.)

The reason I stopped doing physical work is because physical workers are disrespected by the world, and your bosses would rather shut down and leave the industry than to pay you a dollar more. After I decided I would never work with my hands again, jobs paid a lot more. The less you actually do, the more holy you get. One day I'll just sit in the lotus position, floating two inches above my prayer mat, giving cryptic pronouncements about what other people should be doing. By then, I'll have billions.
> We, the Chinese of the 21st century, recall that we were once the most advanced civilisation on the planet. We promoted and achieved great discovery in the sciences and the humanities, in adventure way beyond our shores and, yes, in warfare. We nurtured towering philosophers and thinkers. We were great traders. The ancient Silk Road, all the way across the brutally vast deserts, steppes and mountains of Asia to Europe, was ours. Way back in the 1400s our great ships were trading through into the Mediterranean in the lead-up to Europe’s Reformation — which we may well have seeded. And Columbus may well have used our maps to ‘discover’ the ‘new world’.

The flaw in the logic here is that today's legitimate successor of the "we" there is Taiwan, not Communist-controlled mainland China.
Their target audiences are the people who will read the headline only, the people who get excited about their lump sum tax refund each year, the people who have little idea what other taxes are levied on business operations, and people who have illogical and/or ideological gripes about capitalism in general. I really don't know why business journalists cater so much to some of these audiences, since the combined social repercussions of such misunderstandings can't possibly be beneficial to business on the long term.
We don't understand our cultural operating system. The western version has been built over millennia like a Jenga stack, and in our post-modern world, we are randomly removing bricks with very little thought or understanding of what that brick does. Put in a more software development-friendly way, we are refactoring our cultural OS using search and replace with no idea what the consequences will be for this huge, world-spanning Rube Goldberg device we call the modern world.

I’m surprised nobody had said MS Access. You don’t need to learn any programming languages, it comes with everything you need, and every Access app has lasted way longer than anyone wanted it to. ;)

I find the fact that it got popular because of it being one of the only lesbian novels with a somewhat happy ending really interesting. From Wikipedia:

> Because of the happy (or at least, non-tragic) ending which defied the lesbian pulp formula, and because of the unconventional characters who defied stereotypes about female homosexuals, The Price of Salt was popular among lesbians in the 1950s and continued to be with later generations. It was regarded for many years as the only lesbian novel with a happy ending.

Before reading the article I actually only knew Patricia Highsmith from The Price of Salt as it's really popular, even more so after the movie adaptation.
Well, it's also about "what's possible".

Banks in my country don't have a reasonable API. There is CODA, but it's restricted to business accounts too ( and you have to pay for it).

Additionally, accountants make a huge part of the workforce. So I don't think it will be possible in the short term to "replace them" by traditional means.
You're ignoring their point. There are still ways to share across origins even with SOP and without CORS, for example JSONP[1]. Using CORS is more secure than the pre-CORS way of sharing things across domains.

You are likely going to be waiting years for this. In the meantime, a directional CPE pair[0] as a WiFi bridge would probably do the trick for you in almost any scenario. You can run 24v down the single pair for power, if needed.

Then again, for a gate controller, I would probably prefer to see if it used 900/433mhz and do that instead directly from the house instead of doing a 5GHz bridge. You could also use the existing pair as a serial bridge, or even an antenna for the 433/900.

I work with tradesmen daily.

They put up with the same, as well as job-specific BS, just like we do.

It’s a pipe dream to think it’s some career utopia. Unless you want a change of flavor in the BS you put up with, for a while.

> Poland and Turkey have tons of storks. Belgium, Denmark, Holland, and Switzerland don’t seem to have native storks.

This is the development factor I wrote about :) Storks in Europe live in symbiosis with individual farmers. As countries switch from millions of small farmers to thousands of massive industrialized farms - stork populations dwindle.

This is how it looks like: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stary_Brus#/media/Plik:Stary_B...

Almost every house has its stork nest, people provide the scaffolding for the nest (usually on the house roof or on powerline pylons). Storks eat small rodents, insects and other pests (for example whenever farmers are plowing storks go behind the tractor and eat larva that are uncovered).

Call it a UX problem. I've used BTC here and there but I'm still not confident that I could keep my transactions silo'd, from a cursory look at the blockchain it seems obvious that you can "follow the money" from a de-anonymized transaction (Say, I pay you for a service in person, so you know a wallet address that belongs to me) to other wallet addresses and balances associated with me.

I can't blame people for losing interest / calling bullshit on crypto before spending hours diving into the details of L2, derivative wallets and multi-sig etc etc, details that ameliorate the skepticism. Also these things change over time, so maybe Lightning was unconvincing 3 years ago and skeptics just haven't given it a second look. (This is me, but I'm slowly being convinced that L2 really does make this stuff practical, but for a long time the transaction-per-second and unrecoverability of lost keys made the whole field very uninteresting)

> I often wonder why the other painters working for him don't go off and start their own painting companies

I've got a very good friend who worked as a painter, did the 8-3 5 days a week gig for probably 8 years or so. He had no interest in running a business, managing clients, dealing with costing, estimates, etc. He just wanted to show up, paint and leave at 3.

> and some of the other things that go along with owning the company.

One of the big differences is what happens if there's no work, or if someone stiffs you or if the work required is substantially more than the estimate? In all three of those cases a business owner is in trouble, but the painter doesn't care.
>I personally just hated the long-form-journalism style of "okay, at the start, you have to wade through a ton of irrelevant crap about the settings and the coil-bound notebooks they're using".

Yeah, I'm really glad this was the top comment. That style of journalism has become all pervasive today, and the grotesque self indulgence of it is honestly sickening. I refer to it as "college term paper journalism", because they all read like a sophomore English 102 essay.
As a kid with a band and a love for Guitar Pro 4, I had the dream that all scores and guitar tabs for all music ever made would exist and be freely available. Now a decade later with blockchains and score rendering libraries in Javascript, that is on the road to become a reality. Now, the vision of transcribing all music ever made is of course so large that it is impossible, but working on a free sheet music editor and the NFT blockchain protocols with a DAO is so much fun that I'm already happy just having made a glorified online version of Guitar Pro 4. If any musician likes working with Elm, Rust and blockchain protocols feel free to join me on mission impossible!

Exactly. This seems to be debunked:

I had never heard of DAOs before this and am struggling to wrap my head around it. It seems similar to any other venture with shareholders, except the shareholders need to reach consensus for any sort of financial transaction. Is that right?

So the DAO is blocking this guy with $100M sitting around from just hiring an actual designer for his air taxi project?
Yeah but even if it seems more comfortable to sit at a desk, it's much worse for your health, and also will make you feel worse already at the end of the day, so as a desk worker you're basically required to spend another hour after work every day exercising to make up for that. While the people doing the landscaping already got their exercise and fresh air.

This was the case at first, but they are so big today that there are dedicated RPi chip runs (in fact, I believe they are the only thing using the RPi 4 processor).
The effort is more insidious - and I suspect its from China's investment into Reddit; here is my theory:

---

You can only havea working social credit system and survellience system online if you can collapse everyone down to a single UID of whatever (in this case usernmaes)

So if you have multiple accounts, and they can corerolate the multi-accounts to a single UID (person)

And you can use billions of bots and computational resources to track to whom a comment bleongs (the human) -- you have all that much more control and leverage over controlling that commentary coming from that human.

---

I think they are ensuring they have laser connection to the previously anon reddit accounts such that they have a sniper rifle on any human that steps out of bounds.
Huzzah! Thanks! Without you and others like you none of this would be possible!
> All "undefined behavior" that I have seen could have been replaced with "the compiler can do one of these three things" and still been widely efficient

The point of undefined behavior is that it's a list of things that the compiler is allowed to assume that you'll never do. A lot of optimizations come from being allowed to make this assumption and propagate it backwards, which can't be done at all if the compiler would have to do one of a defined list of things instead.
Congrats. Love your work and glad you got a proper bounty!

Conciseness isn't a virtue in itself. It's only ever a virtue in so far as it aids readability/maintainability/writability/etc.

The approach here is, presumably, to get the code absolutely right the first time, then leave it alone forever. It doesn't need to be easy to change.

Also, Ada makes a conscious decision to favour readability over writability, the idea being that code is read many more times than it is written. It does so by being verbose and making quite heavy use of keywords rather than symbols. Opinions vary on whether it succeeds in improving readability.
I don’t think the OP is insane. Sure, the trades are physically demanding and in a lot of cases will pay less than a software developers’ salary. But one thing the responses are missing is that simply because you can’t physically see the damage done doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Bad back and shaky hands from years of hard labour? Sure.

How about years of stress and gaslighting? Is chronic depression and learned helplessness any less bad?

“Don’t worry buddy, you’re getting paid enough to hate yourself and not see the point in living anymore. Just keep at the grind and enjoy your comfy chair and latte.”

If you’re starting to feel that way I would look into starting therapy first before making big life decisions like that. You might find the root cause of your discomfort and treat the cause rather than run away from it. And if it is the right move for you you will go in with eyes wide open.

> What they don' tell you (or don't know) is that in Iraq, US soldiers were often given engagement rules like "from this point on the map onward, shoot anything that moves."

Is this your personal experience? Where did you get this from? This isn't my experience having done OEF 02/OIF 03 as an 11b in the 82nd, and I was in the follow on forces for both wars so I saw a pretty loose ROE in both countries.

The guys that served after 08 would have no idea what you're even talking about because their ROE was extremely restrictive, essentially they had to be shot at first and use of indirect fire required multiple layers of permission.

Violence has different definitions, according to the Oxford English Dictionary [0].

One is: "1. a. The deliberate exercise of physical force against a person, property, etc.; physically violent behaviour or treatment; (Law) the unlawful exercise of physical force, intimidation by the exhibition of such force." Another definition is: "4. Vehemence or intensity of emotion, behaviour, or language; extreme fervour; passion."

That the first definition is inherently negative is a separate philosophical discussion (as quick counter-examples where violence may not be negative, consider the violence of a fencing or martial arts match). However, it is clear that "punching up" in this case refers to definition four. I believe that most would agree that intensity of emotion or language is not inherently or necessarily a negative behaviour.

Through attrition and universities pumping out CS degrees as fast as they can since the early 90's, at any given point almost half of us have less than 5 years of experience. When half the people don't know any better, it's really hard to use democracy to get anything 'good' done. Either this hasn't changed much over that interval or the people who are fond of pointing this out aren't tracking statistics. Whether it's actually true or only somewhat true, I think we deal with the consequences all the time.

What I can say is have more hobbies, and perhaps we (those who care) should be working to differentiate a genre (vertical, size, location, something) as being better, so it feels like less of a game of chance every time people are looking for 'better'.
I like the takeaways, though I'd also add an additional one, that you should use systems that have reversible transactions. That way, when you fall victim to fraud, you can use the court system to recover your losses.
Oh, this is not about forgetting the password to your crypto wallet:-(
True, but you had to pay for a server for TS/Vent/Mumble as well, so the $5/month Discord charges for the higher voice quality is comparable (or cheaper).

Discord is voice chat, with text as a nice extra, and with image/file sharing and screen sharing and emoji/stickers/profiles (these are attractive to some people). IRC is text only. TS/Mumble/Vent were all voice chat, with really awful text chat interfaces (TS was sort of OK, Vent may as well not have had text chat).

I don't think Discord is good as an information archive, and I'm not terribly fond of seeing FOSS projects using it as a primary means of communication, but it's great for gaming compared to what we had before.
whoops, I guess I misinterpreted what you meant by "breaking this".
No it's not, though.

I expect that my bank is not perfectly secure. And when it fails, there will be ways to redress the problem, i.e. account insurance, bank refunds, legal recourses etc..

Blockchains have 'no way out'. When there is a problem, it breaks everything. Recently, there was a grift on ETH and to overcome the problem, there was a massive fork, which is enormously hypocritical because it implies that there are 100% 'Central Authorities' with ETH, who are unarmed, unrestrained by any regulation or oversight, policy and probably any legality. Etc.

The only way for Blockchains to maintain their ideological integrity is if they are 'perfect'. But they are not 'perfect' and require 'maintenance and oversight'. Ergo they are self defeating their own purpose.

Ultimately, it's a ruse or will mostly be used as such.
You and me both. There is already a lot out there similar running linux. Odroid go and other things running open dingux. Pico-8 as it stands needs a lot of horsepower as it's all lua scripts. I've talked to Lex about making a dedicated pico-8 console he says it would be tough, you basically need fully PC hardware to be faithful to what the virtual console should be able to do. I'm certain a lot of carts could be cross compiled into binaries and run just fine though he wasn't excited about that approach.
I have an email address that look fake. People use it for all kinds of things. It has been used to sign up for reddit hundred of times. It has only once been used to legitimately sign up for Reddit. At some point, they started garbage collecting and ate all the accounts with that address. I appealed. I created a new account using Google auth, to prove it was real and there was a human behind it. They killed that one within hours. I made zero comments/posts. Killed for TOS violation. Failed appeal with no explanation.

Good luck.

The SEC won't do anything with teeth until crypto and Tether are already collapsing.

No government auditor took out Madoff, nobody wanted to touch it, because he was so popular and his clients were influential, and anyone investigating him would be sticking their neck out. That's the kind of risk that if you don't get it perfectly right destroys career and even if you're right you may get blamed and destroyed anyway for pressing the button.

Much easier politically to mop up after it all collapses.

Same thing here since if the SEC pops Tether then now you'll trigger automatic lawsuits from Tesla investors, and there's too many billionaires that are still true believers who have enormous influence over the government and will cause them to be overly cautious.

Within the context of the United States, you can always fall back to the Ninth Amendment:

> The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

(There was a concern around the Bill of Rights, that by specifically listing out some rights it would create the belief they were the only rights; the Ninth Amendment was the compromise.)
