Well put. I don't think this is new for him; there's always been a vein in his writing of someone scarred, late into life, by bad experiences in high school. Maybe it's not deliberate, but it is a vibe he sometimes manages to give off.

When he writes about Lisp, or (for the most part) about startups, or about being a dad, he seems happy and well-adjusted (I'm looking for a better term but let's roll with that). When he writes about cancel culture, or maybe really culture of any sort: different story.

He should take a break from this stuff and write about teaching his kids Lisp.
Fair enough. The transfer of information has moved online to a significant degree. But the transfer of small/light physical stuff has definitely moved into shorter latency territory.
A model that is similar to donations that I feel has not been fully explored is charging for cosmetic items. Reddit essentially does this now by allowing people to buy reddit gold, silver, or other awards.

This revenue model has turned out to be quite profitable in gaming and creates an experience where most people can use the software for free but a long tail of users spend lots of money to have icons next to their name or elsewhere on the site.

For chess you can imagine how this might work, for other software it is not always as clear.

I'd think of it more like Patreon (in non-scammy cases, at least). Today, if you have an instagram where you post cool astronomy photography, and you'd like to make some money from your growing following, your options are try and become an "influencer" and find a sponsor, or sell prints.

This adds another option to support your favorite creators: just "buy" some posts that you like. Also makes it easy to give your fans special access to things later (just like Patreon, but not tied to one platform).

Neither was fired for work performance. I think anything else is a distracting justification, not a reason.

James Damore was fired by a mob who boldly proclaimed "I didn't read his manifesto. I didn't have to".

None of these firings were for honest reasons, but all just to appease the mob. A mob who at least in the last case didn't bother to even find out what he said.

There are many more examples. I could list them on and on, but I'm surprised you've only heard of the two.

There was the lady who appeared to scream in a cemetery

If those two are truly the only ones you can think of then I'd recommend you google this a bit better, and to read "So you've been publicly shamed".

Hell, a year ago you'd be kicked off the internet (social media platforms) as a racist (wat?) for saying the lab leak theory was plausible.

And of course then there's the chilling effect.

I wonder if people are becoming less forgiving to others. That is the concept of redemption doesn't exist for everyone.

Lot of great comments here already. As an engineering manager, I will just tell you that the fact you're even asking this question means you're on the right path. Anyone I have ever had to PIP was showing signs of not caring or trying to do well. If you are open to learning and willing to make the effort, then any company worth its salt will foster that and not make you feel inferior.

EDIT: Oh and I just want to second the top comment in that any "senior engineer" suggesting you "shouldn't be asking that question any more" should be fired immediately. Willingness to admit uncertainty is a critical quality in a good engineer, and fuck anyone who makes you feel inferior for asking an honest question.

EDIT2: By the way, I lost thousands of dollars by misprogramming a fraud rule once. This shit is hard, don't be hard on yourself.

> in which case yes I think the cops might agree to arrest you and in which case it will have to go all the way to court to get to where you can pay with cash.

Wow. I think a lot of the people commenting in this thread don't have any familiarity with cops or service workers, like at all, if they honestly think cops will be called or that said cops will start making arrests. Nobody will call cops over this and if they did, the cops would laugh or be annoyed or just tell the clerk to just take the cash so the cops can move on to a more pressing service call. Just put yourself in their shoes and this will be obvious.
The short answer is no. The honest answer is depends. Lots of thing can be barriers for becoming a professional programmer. Age is one of the factor associated with lots of negative things. Your thinking could be slower than your prime time, and you might have much less energy to be focused on learning and coding. Your memory probably won't be that good. Even your eyes can become a problem, and your backs, necks. Also you might have more distractions in life.

I am not saying those will definitively prevent all old people from becoming a professional programmer. But let's be honest, there are lots of negative things associated with being old and you will need to overcome them. There could be a few advantages though, but I think disadvantages are becoming more significant after 60.

> bills restricting voting access to people of color

I'm not aware of any such bill. What's its name? And why is it not dead on arrival due to the Equal Protection Clause?
> That and these people are not counting the discounted cost, over 200,000 years

This is not factually correct. In fact you can burn up the highly radioactive waste to only 200-300 years. But that fact often gets ignore by people trying to prevent all technology development so they can continue to be anti-nuclear.

And even if we stick with that crazy 200k number, there would be many solution. Deep drilling is one that will surely be available in the next 100-200 years as it has applications other then nuclear disposal.

If you have a rocket like Starship and launch it from a oil platform you can launch all the waste into deep space if you really want.

Even if you don't do want to do that, advanced laser technology also has potential reduce that in the future.

Its a problem that is not actually pressing, we can easily store waste without negative consequences for the next couple 100 years. It will hurt absolutely nobody in that time and will use basically no land and almost no resources.

In 100-200 years we will have many more options what do with it then we have now. Or they will just continue to stand around doing nothing.

Lets go to the worst possible scenario, total government collapse and anarchy. Ok, in such a situation people will have 1000x more 1000x bigger problems then a few tons of nuclear 'waste' standing around.

Not to mention that this fuel contains amazing materials that have other applications. Lets call it 'waste' because we are dumb enough not to realize its a resource. Medical isotopes, nuclear batteries and many other amazing materials are in that 'waste'.

> Because of the potential of catastrophic failure. Duh!

Coal and gas infrastructure have lead to far more death in far more catastrophic failures.

And even the worst possible failure you can come up with in the ThorCon design is hard to imagine how it could kill more then a few people.

If you disagree please explain what kind of scenario you imagine where 10000s of people could die.

> Nuclear power looks cheap if you completely discount the future

And by 'future' here you mean your overly vivid imagination?
I am on 20mg of Paxil. I suffered from some debilitating anxiety, and while I was still functioning day to day, I was in a fairly fearful mood. I spoke to my GP (Australian primary care provider doctor), and he made me do a "mental-health checklist", and that suggested I did in fact have anxiety. He then asked if I wanted to try some medication. He put me on 20mg of Paxil. Within 2 weeks I was feeling sooo much better. In conjunction, I saw a psychologist for 6mo to help me put things in perspective.
You can use GitHub discussions and GitHub now has a feed you can subscribe to, lol.

This article didn’t touch on the biggest obstacle for career changes: Giving up seniority.

The reality is that someone switching to software development mid-career is going to have similar programming knowledge to anyone else who has never had a programming job before. If they’re willing to truly accept going back to junior status with junior pay and defer to team leads and managers who might be younger than themselves, it’s not a problem.

But that’s easier said than done for a lot of people. It’s hard to go back to being a junior and it’s hard to be managed by someone much younger than yourself. I’ve worked with a lot of great engineers in their 50s who had no problems reporting to someone in their 20s, but I’ve also worked with some grumpy old guys who wanted their 2-3 decades of work experience to be the trump card in every dispute.
I didn't know there were a "prime" moment for being programmer. I know that if you're too old, but too old, you may have cognitive trouble, but in general, if you dedicate yourself to become good at it, why not? the market will put you in place anyways. Go for it!

I didn't pick up on any "misanthropic" undertones in his essay but I echo your sentiment regarding the labels not for the same moralistic reasons you cited but for their weak construction; I'd have opted for "collectivist vs individualist" instead of "conventional vs independent" and "militant vs casual" instead of "aggressive vs passive" but the premise of his thesis remains intact which is that we need to counter the pervasive influence of these elements not to ruin the public discourse for all of us.
Although in recent years the representation has become a lot more abstract (and people to correctly generate that abstract representation), inline assembler tends to have a lot of monotonous drivel to get right.
some businesses sell dating & matchmaking services to the market of single people.

it might be hard to bootstrap such a business and compete with established competitors with major market share as the value of a matchmaking business surrounds growing a marketplace of people to offer many possible opportunities for matches to people who sign up (it might even be a bunch of different sub markets, some two sided, some one sided, etc).

i believe plentyoffish (founded by a single single person, iirc) tackled this by initially offering a free service without any revenue source, until the value of the business was realised by selling it with its large free userbase to an established competitor.

another downside of a dating & matchmaking business model is (at least for some segment of customers) if you succeed in making a good match for them then you remove them from your target market, and they cease being customers.
The probability of getting a UUID collision is different from an intentional attempt to find a SHA-1 collision. One is guessing a truly random ~128 bit number (really - it’s effectively the output of a CSPRNG). The other is exploiting a weakness in the construction of a 160-bit value that is intended to be a secure mapping of input -> output. It’s not even remotely the same problem and saying evidence of a sha-1 collision indicates anything about a UUID collision is plain wrong (and that part isn’t on a humor forum).

Well you should have told them because they are planning to build many more coal plants.

And even the basic infrastructure of the grid that is absolutely required for renewables to be even remotely practical doesn't exist.

Wasting gigantic amounts of energy to produce chemical fuel highly inefficiently with low utility plants, and then transporting them around to then burn them up again highly inefficiently is a terrible plan to power a country of 100s of millions of people.

Paul posted this because people are getting fired from their jobs now (directly or indirectly).

See his words: "Nowadays, in civilized countries, heretics only get fired in the metaphorical sense, by losing their jobs. ... You could have spent the last ten years saving children's lives, but if you express certain opinions, you're automatically fired."

People on the political right have moderate discussions and they are banded aggressively. Here are two examples:

* James Woods had 137,000 subscribers removed in two days, by twitter admins

* Ron Pauls' entire YouTube channel was censored and removed.

This is the "Heretic hunting" point Paul Graham is making.

Cannot read the article but the abstract does not make any of your claims. From personal experience I've only seen people on the internet saying they don't want cars, if they had been any significant majority I am sure I've met one or two in real life over the years.

Why car manufacturers don't advertise to the "necessary" buyers at all? A new Kia Rio is still cheaper than a used MB GLS.
Doesn't this infringe on my individual right to enforce my own boundaries?

If I dislike someone, and I host an event, it's by definition a "group" thing, there's no real way to distinguish a personal gathering from a group gathering. But under your proposed system, I, an individual, can't exclude any person from a group gathering. Being unable to choose who I associate with is a fundamental infringement on my right of association. If I'm forced to associate with everyone, I'm not free.
No. Long term trust never pays the bills. You are confusing long term trust with money.

As someone who started programming professionally at 25, and stopped professionally at 60, here is my experience: At 25, I could do a decent job of "drinking from the firehose". I could learn new things very quickly, and retain what I learned. At 60, the time it took to understand stuff grew longer, and the ability to retain it basically disappeared. I was programming in Ruby on Rails, and learning about a new gem or a new test environment was 'fine', but the next day, I needed to return to the documentation at length to refresh myself. It made being productive super difficult. I still do very small hobby projects, mostly using stuff I learned 10 or 15 years ago. This might not be true for everyone, but guaranteeing that 'anyone' can program at any age is just not true. Especially not in an environment where you need (a) a language, possibly 2 or 3 (b) a framework, (c) a test framework (d) an IDE, (e) a production environment (f) a source control system (g) a problem tracking system. YMMV. You need to check it out for yourself if you're considering it.
I think as described you would get false positives, because `unsafe fn foo() { body that performs no unsafe operations }` can be unsafe to call if it interacts with private fields on datastructures used by safe (to call) functions that perform unsafe operations... I expect you would end up with a reasonably high number of false positives.

For an example, consider Vec::set_len in the standard library. Which only contains safe code, but lets you access uninitialized memory and beyond the length of your allocation by modifying the length field of vector: https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/vec/mod.rs.html#1264

You might be able to fix this with a lint that looked at a bit more context though, `unsafe fn foo()` in a module (or even crate) with no actually unsafe operations is very likely wrong. Likewise `unsafe fn foo()` which performs no unsafe operations and only accesses fields, statics, functions, and methods that are public.

You could have a Thorium fast breeder as well I think.

I think a thermal breeder can actually be about 10x more efficient then any uranium fast burner can achieve.

But once you do a fast breeder there is really no point in using Thorium at all. The only reason to use thorium is really thermal breeding.

Also you can have both a thermal and a fast burner I'm pretty sure.
