I sympathize. I had a similar career trajectory, but wound up going into management (I like it though) once I hit the principal level.

Don't underestimate the power of communication though. It would be well worth your time to have a frank conversation with your boss about what it is that you're interested in doing (ie, writing more code), and seeing if there's an opportunity to be more hands-on with the code. If there isn't at your company, then start interviewing with new companies and be explicit about what it is that you want to do.

Wishing you the best of luck with this. I know how frustrating it can be to not be able to write code as much as you want...

It's the word progress itself that carries the connotation of a destination. A boat adrift at sea isn't making progress even though it's changing its position at random. A ship crossing the ocean toward a port is making progress, and that progress is measured not in how far it is from its origin, but how close it is to its destination. If it takes a circuitous path, it hasn't made more progress, it's merely taken longer.
> The liability associated with maintaining a bank account after submitting an SAR is high, which is why banks immediately freeze those accounts.

Again, do you have a source on this? It would seem to be at odds with the requirement that a bank keeps the filing of SARs secret from the accountholder. Skimming the BSA, there seem to be a lot of liability carveouts for banks that file SARs. I can't find anything that would increase bank liability in a situation where a SAR is filed.
> The Saudis aren't invading Yemen, they're just bombing and destabilizing it. Last I checked Lebanon is also still Lebanon, not Syria.

The word you said was "attempted" which includes failed attempts as well as successful. There have been no successful attempts post-WW2 that I can think of, but that doesn't mean there haven't been any unsuccessful attempts.

> Ethnically they're almost identical. Culturally close.

You can say the same thing about the US and Canada. Yet Canada successfully resisted both US invasion attempts, and even today, you would likely get a pretty vehement response if you suggested that the US and Canada ought to be part of the same country.

> My point is that I think that there are significant upsides to passwords and most of the downsides can be worked around such that users would barely notice the difference.

That's barely a "point" and more an abstract notion that you're correct although you're aware the evidence suggests otherwise. The supposed "strengths" of passwords are in tension with any attempts, like yours, to make them actually useful for authentication. We have something that actually works, today, WebAuthn. If you care about the authentication problem use WebAuthn.
> It’s striking that so many stories about the triumph of metrics over intuition involve games. I’m convinced that you should put statisticians in charge if your goal is to win a game.

I enjoy playing around with baseball data. About a year before the pandemic, I went out and presented some research at a Sabermetrics conference hosted by the Boston Red Sox. 90% of the pro teams had their data science teams present, and I spoke with many of them (FYI - working in baseball is like working in video games: long hours and low pay).

Anyway... The Red Sox (at that time, at least) divide their analytics department into 3 subject matters, and I spoke to the lead of one of those 3. I asked how different their analysis is compared to all the old baseball knowledge developed over the last 150 years.

He said that it's not different! All the intuition about the game built up by the old-timers spending decades in the industry still holds! The analytics is all about tweaking things and making slight improvement in the odds. If they can improved the odds of a beneficial outcome by 2-3%, they consider it a success, and if they can do that consistently over the course of a season they will win 5-10 extra games. That's it! (SPOILER ALERT) Remember that in the movie Moneyball, the Oakland A's didn't win the World Series. They didn't even make it to the World Series. They were beaten in the first round of the playoffs by another small market team (Minnesota) with a similarly small payroll that wasn't doing the moneyball thing ;)

(1) People in red states have still changed their behavior. In particular if people with flu symptoms are staying home instead of going out that can make a big difference.

(2) I bet a lot of flu is spread by people who go to conferences, travel a lot, etc. These activities are greatly curtailed and often happening in places that are taking precautions so that stops it from entering red states.
Well, when I log in with Github/Google/Twitter, I don't necessarily need to confer any account access to the website and I almost never do, so I'm not sure that's the defining factor of 3rd party login.

At that point, 3rd party login really is just "we'll contact their servers to authenticate you and then give you a session."

One example would be StackOverflow which lets you log in with Google/Github/Facebook but doesn't ask for any permissions on those websites.
Reading quality news and analysis is certainly better than watching tv news. But it still has the same flaws as other news.

To me this is the money quote:

There is a big opportunity cost to following the news! If you spend those X minutes a day educating yourself instead, you will be a far more informed citizen. You will also start seeing what ignorant garbage much of the news really is.
WLOG the shape starts at the origin (0,0,0), the first kink is at (0, 0, m), and the next point is (x, y, m), where x²+y²=n²

You can always rotate this to (n, 0, m) and view from the +y axis looking down, and it is a right turn.

The L shape is not complex enough to be chiral, but the post is (and you are!) is claiming that you need an extra bit of information to specify “which L, the right handed one or the left handed one?” ... That is a distinctively 2D question.
Yeah, dependence is bad. Everyone should be growing their own food, and generating their own energy, and making their own smartphones.

Not to mention, according to Appfigures (site that scans app SDK usage), Cordova powers significantly more app store apps than either RN or Flutter.
That's what I said about Crimea eight years ago.
Wrong. On the contrary, Trump administration imposed additional sanctions that prevented Nord Stream 2 from being complete — which Biden administration have reversed.

Western media portrayed Trump as "pro-Putin", but if you look at the actual decisions by administrations, he was the one who really pushed back against Putin, compared both to Obama and Biden.
Yep. Walking or playing with my wonderful doggie, I think often "someday I won't be able to do this."
In r/Canada every day there is a similar post (though usually from mainstream news outlets) about how housing is broken.
And every day it gets several hundred replies. The despair is real.

Very depressing as my family is in Canada and I consider moving back, except my cost of living will be comparable (NYC), and my salary takes a 50% cut and becomes the absolute ceiling (in NYC I can still double up). And aside from downtown Toronto, the GTA is a suburban wasteland.
> Canadian kids are forced to take thirteen years of (Quebec) French, so they already have a head start at getting fluent in the language of their new adoptive country.

Hahahaha. Ask how hard it is to integrate in France when you're from Québec, so someone who's not even speaking French natively? Good luck, you'd have better luck moving to Quebec City.

> Location-independent entrepreneur friends can buy a three-story chateau in the French countryside for less than the price of a single-detached house in a steeltown dumping ground like Hamilton.

Good luck maintaining that.
No and he actually imposed new sanctions while in office.
Right, but the original experiment did not measure (A) 'the ability to delay gratification'. It measured (B) the decision children took in the face of uncertainty. Only if all children assessed the chance of getting the promised second marshmallow as ~100%, would be (B) be a reasonable proxy for (A).
The chess thing was based on a misconception. Someone measured chess players heart rate and saw that it was increased, then compared that pulse rate to athletes training and basically said they must be burning as many calories since they had the same heart rate. This study gives a much more reasonable estimate of calorie expenditure: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23455094_The_stress...
I can vouch for the Design of Everyday Things too (granted I got the advice from another HN post). It's a brilliant book that exposes you to some of the common pitfalls of product design and gives you many mental frameworks to work with to embrace your designs' shortcomings and, most importantly, address them.

That seems crazy to me. When designing a window, the first thing you decide is what you want on it -- a button, a text box. It's the most obvious thing about the program. How you do it, that's a completely different matter, and definitely not the most important part until and unless you are dealing with performance limitations (which should typically not pop up until later).

The situation in Russia is the action of a single person. Rationality is not a universal state of people. People can have mental problems and while actions can seem to be rational in their own head, every other person realizes their irrationality.

Also for the record, given the lies being created, it’s quite obviously rational what they’re doing, but it doesn’t make the lies not lies.
They show a chart going on for many years... React Native started showing up just a couple of years before Flutter and it was never even near the current Flutter peak, so I don't understand how you can reach this conclusion.

Agreed. If you look even more pessimistically at this, it's also how workers get exploited by owners. You've attached your identity to something, making it a giant lever. I can push on that pain point to motivate you or to neg you into accepting less money for the work.

That's a trivial dismissal. Plenty of stuff gets outdated after a few years, Python 2.x being an extreme example that comes to mind. But because (as a hypothetical example) "the Python 2.x way" answer has 12.4K votes, and the newer "Python 3.x way" has only 200 points, so guess which one is still being implemented more? More generally, there was a day before your favorite language had its version of async in release builds, and there was a day after that. Somewhere in there, probably less than six months, a better way to do some things came about.

Oh, my bad, I think I understand now.
> My suggestion: Go to a news stand instead and grab a copy of The Economist. One who does that will learn much about the world. About countries one rarely hear about in other media outlets. About advances in science and technology.

To play Devil's advocate, why is it useful to spend time learning about these types of things -- world politics, economics, even current scientific developments? Is it mainly because it's interesting (so that it's primarily entertainment)? Or is it to better yourself in some way? I think a lot of people implicitly think that this type of knowledge falls into the "bettering yourself" category, but I wonder if it's mostly for entertainment. Of course, if you are actively involved in international politics, then things look different, but I'm mainly talking about the "everyperson".

I bring this up because I go through phases where I get really into world "happenings" as described above, but then after a while I feel as though I have gained little or nothing, except emotional responses and opinions about these things, which causes no noticeable positive effect in my day-to-day life (and in fact, often affects my mental state negatively, given the amount of fear-mongering in media). Instead, I have the suspicion that all of that time would have been better spent focusing on things local: myself, friendships, family, hobbies.
Happy to see the support for self-hosting mail.

I think the fear of self-hosting mail that many people have can be treated simply by trying it on a non-critical domain. Yes there are hoops that must be jumped through to ensure reliable delivery, but it's well worth it to gain an understanding of how they all work together.
I only read twitter feed for news and it's great!
Ensuring sufficient reaction time isn't the only reason for a full stop. A full stop is a signal to those around you that you are yielding the right of way. If there is another way to signal (e.g. all other cars are a autonomous vehicles communicating wirelessly and there are no pedestrians) then there is no need for a full stop. In other cases the lack of a clear signal can create confusion as to who has the right of way, leading to a collision.

What types of news do you follow? Some suggestions are:

- SCOTUSBlog

- Law 360

- Bloomberg Law

- ABA Journal News

- Courthouse News

The primary benefit to using legal sources for your news is that the legal news cycle does not match up with the 24 hour news cycle. For example, right now we're talking about SCOTUS's 2022-2023 case docket, and that doesn't even start until October. Also because lawyers like to cover their butts/believe in getting everything in writing, a lot of their back and forth is available to the public, which lets you get better context for arguments.
Nearly all of it is, for most people, when it comes to national and international news. It's little more than low-value entertainment. Which is fine, but people get all kinds of crazy ideas about "needing" to follow the news closely to be a good citizen or whatever. Nah. Much better if folks would spend that time reading books on political science, economics, policy, and history, rather than the news. Spend a couple minutes catching up every few months, and you won't have missed much of consequence.

Local news is another matter.
How is this better than Linear? Been using it for a while and I'm pretty convinced it solves the problem space perfectly.
> Finally (but not lastly), news makes you informed when it comes time to vote at the municipal, state, and federal level. If you don't follow the developments in your community, your vote is at best useless, at worst it's harming the democratic process.

Election time is when candidates (or some of them) pump out propaganda against their opponents. Negative ads about what some candidate said 15 years ago. Who wins in that race? Often the one who has the most marketing money.

Not just ads though; the propaganda could be part of The News as well if there is a coalition in the media that thinks of the candidate as a threat.

(And it was either CNN or MSNBC (the news as the article in question defines it) that said that they covered Trump so much (free press in his case because he fed off the notoriety) because he was good for ratings.)

I’ve seen perfectly reasonable candidates lose in part because their more corporate-friendly opponents were better funded by private interests.

I’ve begun to think that an intentionally random vote might be better for the venerable “democratic process”.
You seem to think veganism is all about meat consumption. That’s only a part. Veganism is manifestation of the belief that animals ought not to be exploited for anything, meat included. Lab grown meat merely addresses part of the issue, at best.

Besides, what exactly is your argument? That it’s hard to change things like this? If so, why does that matter at all? Lots of things are hard but worth doing.

and youll most certainly be positively or negatively affected by that news daily. which seems pointless to me? why worry about US and iran going to war if 2 weeks later its no longer relevant? Or about how good spiderman is doing in its first week? or whether tiktok is spying on its users?

these things fade almost immediately from public conscious. Staying "informed" daily seems like a waste of time imo.

I think this still, somewhat, misses the point.

Sure, Racket has facilities to make implementing languages easier (that's the whole point), but that simply makes it _easier_ to implement BSL, etc. I could certainly, with more effort, implement BSL in Java or in any other language: the language that students are using really has nothing to do with the _host_ language. Things are somewhat confused by DrRacket (or, made simpler, depending on your perspective); the IDE is somewhat mixed up with everything else, but again, this functionality can and does exist in other editors: I could implement a mode for my BSL implemented in Java in, say, VS Code, with comparable features to DrRacket.

Or, to take a completely different tack, implement the IDE via the web a la WeScheme or, if you want an actual concrete example of something that isn't Racket hosted, Pyret.
Sounds interesting but can you get enough readers to help you do the testing?

Another thing is that I don't think you can isolate basic parts like you can with software since there needs to be lots of writing to convey an idea. The time needed to do it would increase by a large factor when you try to break up to test it.

I'd like to to see a/b testing for book outlines? Or book elevator pitches?
Capacitor creator here, really appreciate the kind words! The article indeed is missing some critical projects in this space. In fact, Cordova is still more widely used than both Flutter or React Native when you count production app store apps. Capacitor is focused on improving that web native/hybrid stack and it turns out that a lot of people love that approach just wanted the DX to be better (which is is today!)

I think the famous one is Lincoln[0] and I agree that his perseverance is inspiring. Nevertheless, campaign funding correlates heavily with election success in the modern era and losers are naturally going to meet with skepticism that they will find success the second time around.

In this particular case, he's running for the exact same set of voters as before for a more prestigious office against a more popular candidate. His policies are less popular than in 2018 and he's done nothing to increase his notoriety in the last four years. This isn't to say he's not a good candidate but I find it reasonable to think that he may struggle for funding this time around more than last.
