I think you're right, but there would still be some hope in the "Don't call yourself a programmer"[1] avenue.

If he can sell himself not as a programmer, but as someone who does X with programming as a tool that they're going to use to do that, preferably where X is something that he has some expertise in from earlier in his career, he might be able to get people to look at him as an expert X instead of a novice programmer.

OTR pays way, way more. I'd be all over it in my younger days. Once you have a family, as you said, it can be a bit more difficult.

To the author, if you're reading, OTR drivers are in very, very high demand. Get that bread.
The point is not one anecdote alone. It's the trend my example highlights. IME it's hard to buy a feature rich device without needing to run more and more electron apps. Or have a tech job without such apps. This cannot scale to everything even if physics weren't standing in the way of significant die shrinks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that if I configure the device to do 'hardware' assignment then it's not as bad a problem. (Yet at the cost of some flexibility.) So it suggests that the software level bindings are being loaded through this Electron abomination.

Some people can make it work, but imo it's an orange flag for a path to burn-out, especially if it's an excessive number of hours and not a standard 9-5 (with all the rest of their clients put together). A lot of times contractors work for multiple clients at one time, so it's easy to forget "your hours" are not their only ones.
Just my experience on my team. The Linux guys were already building and running things locally. So the sales pitch so to speak from our team were the Mac guys saying 'hey, now we can build and test locally!', whereas the Linux guys just kinda found it a slight annoyance.

Things have certainly changed with the rise of kube, ecr, and the such. But in the time of doing standard deploys into static vms, it didn't make a ton of sense.
You seem to be using "pollute" as a synonym for "releasing CO2", while Yoric does not.

I think the two of you are talking past each other.
I can see why it might look like that from the outside, but the set of mathematical results that led up to it actually come from the angle of, “let’s try to prove that traversable wormholes and the negative energy densities required to create them are impossible.” In trying to prove that, you learn a lot of interesting things along the way:

1. Negative energy densities are a universal prediction of all quantum field theories, and therefore are not as outrageous to think about as one might naively believe. [0]

2. The amount of negative energy density permitted by quantum field theory is NOT enough to support traversable wormholes, as long as you make some mild assumptions about the behavior of spacetime. [1]

3. Those mild assumptions seem NOT to be required by string theory, and string theory supports some solutions with traversable wormholes. [2]

4. Those solutions of string theory appear to be self consistent in an unusual and novel way, which is why string theorists like Juan Maldacena find them interesting. [3]

Every step is all super nontrivial and tells us something new about the mathematics of spacetime. Of course they’re models, maybe they all rest on some faulty assumption about nature that will later turn out to be wrong. So the final pillar of the story, the one that’s hard to communicate without spending years of your life studying it, is that every remaining assumptions about quantum gravity that goes into these arguments appear to be impossible to get rid of without having horrible consequences where spacetime can’t become smooth or relativistic at large scales. So these models are at least very plausible even though the ultimate truth will have to come from experiments.

This hasn't been my experience at all. Plenty of social connection and discussion of personal lives in my team meetings, just less with coworkers who aren't on the same team.
I'm doing better cognitively and emotionally working from home - I can take breaks more freely and use them more fully, going on walks around my neighborhood instead of a dull corporate park, interacting with my fiancé instead of coworkers, napping on my lunch break. I have more energy, time and money to socialize with friends outside of work and pursue fulfilling personal projects thanks to not commuting. I'm more productive at work because I'm less distracted by office gossip and unproductive coworkers and because I'm happier.
You'd be amazed at how often those coincide if there's not a culture of omerta.

It's almost as if happy employees are in a company's interest. Not paramount, but not neglected either.
This is an excellently well put argument. It's easy to forget how horrible, bloody and inhumane wars of conquest for much of the last millennium were, be they conducted by Ottomans, Mongols, or the various factions making up 'christendom'. Nearly 80 years of substantive peace on the continent of Europe is a huge achievement, and one I hope can be replicated worldwide again. That cry of "never again" is very much worth listening to.

That is the worst! I remember when a long-time team member died unexpectedly one weekend. We all learned about it at the Monday standup meeting and we luckily had the common sense to cancel the standup because no one wanted to talk.

A number of us went to the funeral and his wife told me (I had met her once before) that she was so happy that his co-workers came to pay their respects. It made her feel that he had a larger impact than she knew of and it was comforting to her.

I hate, hate, hate the way corps try to brush away any unpleasantness like ignoring it means it didn't happen!
I think Putin and his friends were smart at some point in history, but their capacity has deteriorated greatly in the last 5-10 years. Thinking that they are behaving with great clarity is as mistaken as thinking that they're completely out of their minds.

Instead, they're just... old. Biden is of course old as well, but he is clearly not making the huge mistake of deciding everything himself.

It's not a coincidence that Zelensky is in his 40s. This conflict is very much the old generations trying for the last time to keep the upcoming generation down. Also inside Russia this is the juxtaposition.
If they were protected from the explosion? By that definition, no. It worked. Just not well enough.
Yes, and it is also likely is that several state actors have language models way beyond gpt-3 capabilities, tuned with something similar to this: https://pastebin.com/irj4Fyd5, and those are used to steer public conversations in one direction or another. In fact I'd be surprised if this wasn't already counting for a large percentage of the internet discourse.
golang doesn't really compete with rust, but it's more like a faster python/ruby/js. You can see this by the companies that have moved over from those languages to golang. Hype definitely plays a role, but also the perception that it's quick to pick up, and does decently well when it comes to performance.

> The real question is, why is there not a “Go but designed by sane people” language?

The fact is that the JVM and .NET platforms would almost surely do better for anything that golang is considered for, but there's a lot of hype and companies want to attract programmrs.

That’s dumb. I work with contractors who I consider not only my team mates (we work on the same shit) but also my friends. We play games together after work sometimes and chat once in a while on zoom.

They give demos, leadership gives them kudos, and they feel part of the team.

Contractors are team mates with a different employment structure but if we’re in the trenches together that distinction gets thrown out.

I still think various Lisps don't interoperate enough today, but I'm not very familiar with the Lisp machines of the past. If it can interoperate with C and Ada that's interesting. But I also wonder about interop with JavaScript :) i.e. not just existing languages but FUTURE languages.

As far as I understood tea.xyz it uses a DAO contract to "bill" every download/install by the user. If you don't pay (in tokens) you won't get the package.

So the blockchain approach has a mechanism already in place that will support the payment.
It’s because Matlab (and Mathematica, etc) is proprietary, and therefore you always have to pay the Danegeld. So we use numpy instead because it’s extensible, it uses all the super fast C/C++/FORTRAN stuff on the backend, and is fairly easy to learn.

I actually still would prefer Matlab as the syntax is more compact and natural than numpy (which is like a matlabified Python), but that’s probably just due to more experience in Matlab.
The point about the start-up phase is a great argument against my question. I mentioned in another post, but for this idea to not impact startups very negatively, I suppose there would have to be an exemption for new businesses.

>There is already plenty of incentive without any government intervention.

That's true, but there is also an incentive to hide profits to avoid taxes. I'm not very knowledgeable in this, but my understanding is that there are a number of accounting tricks that many different industries can use to disguise profits as losses, which feeds directly into corruption.
It’s just a matter of tooling. Do you think AWS logs into the servers that back your service and care for them individually (as the article imagines caring for your own server)?

Not even in the least - they treat them like cattle. If data center scale tools were easier to use for the average engineer - the gap between managed and self-hosted would start to close. Obviously, software, tooling, process, scale: there are plenty of huge challenges to making self-hosting viable. Personally, I see it as far more doable and less radical than trying to distribute the internet in any other fashion (blockchain or otherwise).

Numpy.

I honestly think it all boils down to numpy being developed long before matrix libraries became a standard part of software development.

Ruby's early "killer app" (remember that term?) was Rails. Even to this day there is almost no major code out there built in Ruby that isn't ultimately related to building CRUD web apps. While Ruby may be losing popularity now, it moved the web-development ecosystem ahead in the same way that Python has moved the scientific computing world ahead.

20 years ago if you wanted to use open source tools to performant vector code there was Python and a hand full of oss clones of commercial products. Given the Python was also useful for other programming tasks in a way that say Matlab/Octave is not, it was the choice for more sophisticated programmers who wanted an OSS solution and need to do scientific computing. This creates a positive feed back that persists to this day.

Given that Python remains a decent language relative to it's contemporary peers and it has a massive and still growing library of numerical computing software it is extremely unlikely to be dethroned, even by promising new languages like Julia.

Even to this day there is nothing even close to numpy in Ruby. I do DS work in an org that is almost entirely Ruby, but we still use python without question because we know re-implementing all of our numeric code into Ruby would be a fools errand.

Had ruby had early support of matrix math, it wouldn't have surprised me if it would have replaced Python.
Apparently compiles a slint ui markup language to inform a slint runtime and in doing so provide required hooks to business logic in rust, c++, etc.

We already have cheap comodity ARM chips, it's called the Raspberry PI . It didn't make much of a dent in the X86 market. It's a niche of it's own in the consumer tinkerer and industrial embedded devices, but desktop computing is a tough market to crack, as explained by Linus Torvalds.

Having (non-Apple) ARM assault the X86 ecosystem will take a lot of out of the box thinking and, most importantly, cooperation for standardization amongst the HW vendors for open standards, which is exactly what Nvidia doesn't like to do, as they always prefer the locked down ecosystem approach, contrary to the openness that lead the comodization and popularity of the IBM PC clones.

> There's no guarantees that I haven't rebased main,

You may have rebased your local main branch, but that doesn't affect your origin/main reference.

> or that I have all of the branches that were stored on the remote.

Everytime you pull or fetch, you get all the branches stored on the remote. Of course, you're not going to have any branches that were added after the last time you communicated with the remote.

> If something catastrophic happens to our main remote, which one of our versions do we restore to?

The origin/main that's the most recent.
This is detracting from the point. Again, a child can tell you that a phone is not a washing machine, just like a child can tell you that a man is not a woman. Men and women have been the same as men and women from thousands of years ago. We did not magically change species or something.

Do physical conditions exist (XXY, XYY, etc) exist? Yes they do, but what we're seeing today is mass hysteria around a mental issue. What should be done is start looking at the underlying causes.

All these and more should be investigated

> the experience was not substantially different from Go

I think the (a?) reason for that is a (otherwise good) shift to production being immutable. When you aren't allowed to interact and change code in a running system, you lose a massive advantage of CL over simpler languages. When the answer to every error is "send a 4xx or 5xx to the client" then having a powerful error-handling system is similarly pointless. When you only write CRUD programs like everyone else, you're just plugging together other's libraries and not creating novel techniques or fancy math. In this world all CL's advantages are negated.
