"If you have the right skillset" is the key part. Speaking from my own experience as a hiring manager – in many years of hiring, thousands of applications and hundreds of interviews I have never once come across an older candidate switching careers who could write basic React components, solve leetcode medium/hard problems or design systems at scale in an interview setting. That is the bar every tech company out there will expect you to clear, regardless of age.
It’s an example of Silicon Valley’s elite’s erraticism.

I love Elon. But he bought without activist intent, did a Twitter poll, accepted a Board seat, spoke—apparently for the first time in this sequence—to a lawyer, and then walked back. This is not how competent companies or civilisations are run.
As someone with very high noise sensitivity - yes, please more focus on this topic. It's really tough to deal with and "just meditate" etc doesn't cut it as advice.
Basically Elon is the largest shareholder. If he wants to join the board, that is best for Twitter and Elon.

If he doesn’t want to, that is also best. Whatever he wants is best because he is the biggest shareholder.

> Yes yes we know the glorious Soviet society that was the pinnacle of fair and just.

The opposite of end-stage capitalism isn't Stalinism. It's very American to view the opposite of "capitalism" as the Soviet Union, but the truth is there's a whole spectrum in between socialism and capitalism, totalitarianism and libertarianism.

In my opinion this criticism is just as low-effort.

> It's almost like justice and rule of law are separated from the economy and wealth.

I respectfully disagree. Societies with less inequality tend to be more peaceful. Economic policy and social policy are very much intertwined.

> For law and justice to be fair, liberties need to be given. Not taken.

Law and justice is by definition the restriction of liberties to support a functioning society - not the giving of liberties. You begin with the full universe of liberties and law/order is all about choosing which ones are sacrificed by whom to optimize along a certain axis.
My point was that it's an American name because it's a part of American history. That's all.

I think the term "mountain" is a bit strong wrt. West Virginia, but the terrain structure could make it actually a big winner with the change to renewables. As others have pointed out, it is not impeding the use of solar, but it gives something even better: cheap storage. If you have hills, pumped storage is difficult to beat and there are enough flat regions in the west of West Virgina and of course Kentucky, so that there should be plenty of solar to store. That would give WV a good chance to have around the clock electricity just based on solar only - and of course, there is always wind too.
>"At the end of the day the only bad thing about the Trump admin was the mean tweets."

That's a new definition of "mean tweets", I didn't know it meant the failings of a twice impeached president whose wife wore a shirt saying "I don't care, do you?" when visiting children her husband's admin had caged, plus about 200 hundred other actions that were objectively abhorrent and un-american.

Appearing not to be able to criticize something one views positively despite plenty of severe failings makes endorsements seem unreliable. In this case, it's as if there was some edict that declared if trump did it, it was by definition good.

Sometimes I read comments that seem to be describing an alternate reality and are incompatible with my understanding of the world and it's fun to wonder if the posters of the comment view my description of reality the same way. It's not a matter of different opinions, but a matter being 100% impossible to coexists and both be correct. One view must be false and wrong, but whose?

What if my world is the bizarro world, and what testable facts am I basing my world view on that I can verify or test? And does the other poster ever consider these same thoughts about their views.
From what I've seen gmail follows user patterns than all this technical mumbo jumbo.

So for a small business owner even 1 person hitting the spam button can be a kiss of death for deliverablity (and I know people irl who think hitting spam and delete are the same thing <facepalm>).

Basically long story short, if you send 100 emails and 10 people open your email and click on something there is a high probability that the remaining 90 are also going in the primary inbox. Otoh if 2 people were to click the spam button then high chances are rest 98 are also going to spam and soon enough you'll be branded as such.

Its why inbox warmup services are so popular nowadays. While I disagree with such practices in theory as most often they are means to abuse filters, your case seems legit and so you may have some luck with that.
Didn't have gun range muffs but I did something similar for a few years before buying my ANC headphones. I had a broken pair of over-ear headphones and under them I wore a pair of IEMs. Did the job pretty well.
It’s much easier to double, triple or quadruple track the beat up American railroad infrastructure if it was in public hand, working to maximise capacity for the whole market, rather than just every piece of track being used to maximise profits for a single company, acting as a moat to ensure as little local competition as possible.

I would venture to say that it was iPod + iTunes that brought Apple back, and then iPhone was just the icing at exactly the right time (Nokia was also prototyping "internet tablets", albeit with resistive touch screens).

> The sole exceptions probably being speech that inspires imminent action to violate any person's individual rights (e.g. violence) or that has an imminent or fundamental threat to bring about a change in government to one which does not allow, support, and respect free speech.

Why do you cut the line there? What evidence do you have to include or not include these or other things? How do you define violence? Is causing brain damage violence? AFAIK it's possible to do that only by speech.

I've never seen an argument which wouldn't be possible to be phrased a way by which it wouldn't be "heresy", and include everything which isn't about changing others' feelings. For example, immigration. Almost 100% of useful arguments about immigration are not "heresies". The problem is when somebody is against immigration, and "forget" to mention that they opinion can cause death. Useful arguments don't "forget" this.
Yes, the point of capitalism is that people can do that, but shouldn't. And it should work in tandem with whatever social system that's set up, (justice, laws, morals, ethics, etc)

Pyramid schemes steal a great amount of wealth, and should be regulated. Regulated capitalism is the good thing. The thing is, pyramid schemes aren't run by the state (or shouldn't be) and you don't have a gun to your head forcing you to participate.

I almost feel like "unregulated capitalism" is just a straw man argument that others get tricked into trying to defend.

Painting a Landscape Using Mathematics [video]
That's not how that works. It's just the opposite.

If someone doesn't expect to live much longer but can still provide a significant amount of value to others, their incentive to do it is that they can decide how the money gets used, i.e. they can give it to their kids or otherwise choose who gets it after they're not around to use it anymore.

Take that away and you take away their incentive to earn money they soon won't be alive to use themselves, which is a huge distortion.

Meanwhile people starting off with money allows them to use it, but that doesn't imply inefficiency. They don't lack the incentive to use it for something productive.
And what Notion will do really soon.

Capitalism is the private ownership of the means of production vs collective ownership, which is communism. Everything else is a consequence. I can think of state owned companies competing on price or privately owned companies colluding in a cartel to keep prices up or down, basically with no market, or any other combination. Even China's market way to socialism.
it is ironic to host a post like this on medium...
It sure is solvable with HVDC links, but upgrading infrastructure isn’t free. That cost would need to be included when comparing it against nuclear

The trouble with that horse story is that its message negates free will, and it's used to dismiss and short-circuit the entire history of the scientific endeavor to discern cause and effect. It's the perfect story for an age stooped under the weight of brutality, suffering and ignorance. Voltaire skewered its European version with his mockery, not coincidentally right when Western civilization truly began to emerge from mystical superstition. "All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds," says Pangloss.

I know this will probably not be well received but there are many frameworks that are force multipliers. I see people whip out nice hobby crud sites in a few days with rails. I kind of made one with meteor once though meteor is sadly dead.

Another example is Unity and Unreal. Go to any game jam and see how amazingly productive the people are that have learned them and know where all the easy to use assets are as well.

Of course the problem with the frameworks (and game engines) is that it's a many month upfront investment to learn them and get comfortable so that when you do want to bang out a new hobby project in a weekend you can.
I don't have RSI, but I've felt strains and transient pains from time to time after hyperfocus computering.

For me three things help a lot, to keep things "normal".

1. Avoid typing in the first place (seriously, avoiding the "Repetitive" bit is useful). Lots of typing stuff for me is thinking / revision stuff. So I do that in my head or on paper / whiteboard.

2. Put Ctrl under my thumbs as the lord intended https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard so no Emacs Pinky.

3. Use chording for moving around / yank / kill etc. I also use Vim, but separately. Maybe EVIL will give similar results.

But "methods to not need to type" category of stuff is probably the main thing for me.

Also as some others note, "using body and strenghtening it" category of stuff is also fundamental to my, ah, process.

IMHO strain injuries are rooted in mechanical imbalance as much as they are rooted in overuse.

Wow, you are naive. I guess they may as well execute them on the spot too. Judge and jury and the fifth amendment be damned.

> In the Soviet Union the high level apparatchiks lived in better housing, away from the common people.

Tho, after USSR fell, inequality in Russia went up by a lot. And it gave rise to what are now oligarch - the mix of very powerful mafia and business with very little constraints on them at the time. And that situation made Russians appreciate Putin, going full circle back to authoritarianism and imperialism.
Another case in point was him deciding that the yoke steering wheel was best and didn’t even offer the regular steering wheel as an option. What a cruel yoke.
One of the best things I ever did in my career was to quit. I had gone a route I thought was “the” route for a career in tech. First developer, then architect/developer then project manager/developer then into actual management leaving development more and more behind without being fully able to because no one could do what I did at the organisation.

It all went very well, I got involved with national task forces and was part of defining the national enterprise architecture for public software in Denmark. A long the road I also started doing conference/network/whatever talks and felt hugely important. Then I had a daughter, went down with stress that turned into depression and eventually found myself with an ADHD diagnosis at almost 40. Turned out my parents hadn’t wanted me to get one when I was a kid and had to see doctors because, well, I had ADHD. Not because my parents sucked or anything, but at the time it wasn’t called ADHD but DAMP (Danish word for steam, as in a thundering steam engine), and they believed such a diagnosis would be a bad stigma. I don’t blame them, but they probably “saved” me into changing my university major 9 times and eventually having to get a lower academy degree while working two jobs (not common in Denmark where we are paid to study for 6 years and have free (as in beer) access to most education).

Anyway, there I was with not enough energy to do the two full time jobs I now had, parenting and work. My former places of work was amazing in all of this, not only did they send and pay for a lot of the help they also let me work part time while being part time sick (in Denmark this gives you full pay, but the sick part of it is paid for by the government). Despite this, and despite being lucky enough to get appointed to one my countries leading psychiatrists for adults with a late ADHD diagnosis, I found myself wondering if I would ever work full time again.

Then I quit, and I don’t be back to developing software at a company that lets you actually build cool things. I started at 30 hours a week, but here half a year later, I’m going back to full time.

If you have the ability to pick and chose, as many of us in tech are fortunate enough to have, then I can only encourage that you use it if your current job makes you unhappy. Of course you’ll probably need it o do some work to figure out what makes you happy, or even if you are currently unhappy or happy.
Was just about to CTRL-F for that, thanks :)
What's frustrating me the most is frameworks promising simplification, and then, after investing a considerable amount of time building things with these, they evolve into complex platform incompatible to your old code. Where "old" means 3-5 years. That's what's burning me out.

Now I'd love to move to Svelte for some minimalism, but in 4 years Svelte2 will probably come out, being incompatible and unnecessarily complex.

I'm sorry you're struggling so much. Having a close friend kill themself can be a major trigger if you're depressed. I've lost friends by their own hands before, and attempted once myself, so your comment worries me and I'm concerned for you.

One thing I've (personally) found helpful is keeping a bucket list, ordered from least to most dangerous/life-changing. If your job is making you miserable? Quit. Wanted to move to a different country? Get a tattoo? Go skydiving? Smoke DMT? Transition? Go for it! You literally have nothing to lose, relative to suicide.

There's a really great epidemiologist who has been publishing data-driven articles on substack on the subject of COVID, from samples from waste water to control groups across the world.

Other companies have successfully introduced homeless shelters into their office space; it's not necessarily a wild or bad idea.

"Those Ottomans knew how to eat!"

Very important rider - the rich or well-off ones did. Peasants, who were the greatest majority, subsisted on a lot of cheap bread/rice with a very little meat or other protein thrown in, and suffered malnutrition.
