"Takes Ritalin" and "Has a prescription for Ritalin" are two different things. A friend at Uni in the US said they had to get a locked box for their ADHD meds because otherwise they would just have been stolen -- and that was at a relatively prestigious University.
When our concept of random is so precise as to permit the exclusion of all results that do not conform with the image of randomness, is there anything random about it at all?
> I've looked at a lot of random number sequences in my life and I was trying to make it look like one of those.

This is perhaps the difference between pseudo and statistically random. No idea which of those the study or the experiment is trying to validate btw.

And IIRC, interestingly they write that human capacity to create random numbers declines 25+. I can imagine that the older we are the more we look for something to make our decisions look more random based on what we've learned so far - more time, there was more time to look at more random number sequences - and the less random the outcome will be.

> "You don't want to write "raw" html/js/sql/Java" Uhm I thought that was my job.

It's not your job, any more than a firefighter's job is to be a hose operator, or a nurse's job is to be a syringe operator.

Your job is to produce software that meets the requirements of the business, as a member of a larger engineering organization which needs to be able to function well enough to deliver that software.

Why are frameworks popular? Because they provide a standardized way for multiple engineers, and multiple engineering teams, to collaborate effectively on the same product -- and they make it easy to hire people who already know the frameworks.

If everyone is writing "raw" JS/HTML/SQL/Java/whatever, they are actually building their own individual, unstandardized frameworks.

That's not good for supporting software when the author leaves, and it raises the barrier enormously for onboarding new people. Above a certain scale it's just not workable.

You can be cynical about this and say that it reduces engineers to interchangeable cogs in a machine. Or, you can understand why things are the way they are, understand how to succeed in this reality, and build a fulfilling career path for yourself by providing value that a mere cog cannot. I've worked with a lot of successful, happy engineers who are not cogs, and what separates them from the others is not coding skill -- it's that they all understand this reality.

From my social circle, most developers are leaving for SWIFT ban. It really affected badly prowestern Russians who make living remotely. In Georgia or Kazakhstan, you can still speak Russian, but it is much easier to do business.

The problem with your comment is that it classifies short stature as a bad negative trait. In my humble opinion, except in pathological cases, short stature is a normal thing. It should not even be a subject of mockery because being short is not bad or negative or tragic. If a person is healthy, functional, fit and he is 5'4, I don't see why that is viewed negatively in modern society and it is mocked for, like being a 5'4 is a handicape or something. It doesn't make any sense at all. They can run, jump, breed, fight, think, work, drink, fuck, drive, sing like another other taller person, and they can also even be better and excel. It's really an absurd thing. I never understood this and it has always baffled me and when someones makes a joke on short stature, I just don't get it why it's funny or why it's a valid mockery.

> The learning curve of Rust should not be underestimated, IMHO.

Not sure how this is relevant in a conversation about C++, for which the notion of a learning curve is even hard to apply given that practically no one manages to write code that can be trusted to be free of basic defects in the language.

> Rust can make an experienced developer feel utterly clueless. The borrow checker is a very harsh mistress.

And rightly so. Rust is only unique in that you get the hangover before deploying the code in production. It's puzzling that some might see this as a drawback of the language.
No, there was widespread derision. The idea that people would accept a phone without a physical keyboard was nothing short of heretical in business circles.

Steve Ballmer famously went on one of the popular morning TV news shows and laughed at the iPhone. The fact that he still had a job when he got back to Redmond explains a lot about Microsoft's stagnation under his leadership, and its subsequent return to a successful path once he was gone.

It’s always interesting to me how Apple gets so much praise for taking things away, almost always needlessly with some made up excuse meant to sell more of something, only to later bring them back as if they’re some oracle of utility. Big surprise Apple, non-arbitrarily thin computers, usable keyboards, and ports are useful.

The M1 chips are nice. But Apple also continually throws developers under the bus forcing them along their deprecation strategies.
Seems fair - clearly a lot of the attempts to label something "fake news" are attempts to discredit real, true information. Identifying falsehoods-that-get-passed-around-as-true would be a good thing, even if it's just "turnabout is fair play".

There are many counter-examples, from the original iMac’s mouse to the iPod Hifi. Jobs said no a lot, and that was a good thing, but he did not have absolute good taste. To his credit, he was good at learning from mistakes, even though he very rarely acknowledged them in public.
That still means moving out of Russia. Because there are few ways for a non-Russian company to pay staff located in Russia right now.
In return it also has two sets of R&D to support and two sets of risks - architecture and manufacturing. If it falls behind on either of these it starts to lose.

You sound like you work in a wonderful environment.

"where I do I always write deallocator first" that sounds like good practise.

But software development is driven by marketers. Having the time to properly add in the features required for safety is important.

From a marketing perspective it is a waste of money. When a change needs to be made, some feature that once lived under the hood and needs to be "surfaced", using some pointer into a structure in an unsafe manner will take five minutes, properly assembling the structures, rearranging the code etcetera takes two days - those days come off the profit of the company (from the marketing perspective)

As a computer programmer it is fabulous to have the resources to do it safely. It is not the conditions that a lot of us (most of us?) work in.

User visible features. All that matters. Memory safety? What is that!

My background is in English law, though I believe similar broad principles would apply here. IMO, it's plausible to argue it either way, and hard to be certain without knowing the full details about what was said. Jump seem to have made an offer for the domain, and the $50,000 price could be interpreted as a counteroffer, which would enable Jump to accept and lead to the formation of a contract.

However, there must be an intent to enter into legal relations by both sides, and I'm uncertain that Merryman's actions demonstrate this. Further, I'm not sure that stating a price for the domain alone provides sufficient certainty of terms for there to be a valid contract (there is no discussion, for instance, about when the domain is to be transferred or when/how payment is to be made). The details of the initial communication from Jump may be relevant here - say if they invite counteroffers and it is clear they want to enter into a binding contract, or the other details are specified by them and the only part Merryman proposes changing is the price. It's also interesting that "Jump subsequently raised its bid", as this could be seen as an acknowledgement that no contract was formed at the earlier stage.
> Moscow is too expensive: it prices even software developer leads out.

No, it doesn't. This "woe is me, underpaid all the time" rhetoric from someone with a software dev salary is getting really tiring.

Moscow is huge. And Software devs are a small minority of all occupations. Plenty of people afford living in Moscow just fine without anywhere near the level of salary typical of software.

Probably the only place in the world that priced out software devs was pre-Covid SV, where you weren't able to work remotely from cheaper accommodations. But that really is a unique location and a self-inflicted CA problem.

It's not even a first-world problem. It's more of a middle-upper class spoiled rich brat with a 1% salary problem. The NY alternative for this is "woe is me I can't afford private school for my 6 kids and a 5th ave apartment at the same time"

I'm glad it resonated well. The swings between the highs and lows are regular, frequent, and irritating but it happens to everyone. Just saying it out loud can be a good release. Do it.
First, there is a huge amount of public lands where you can't just set up camp.

National parks, lots of state parks, city mountain parks which are public and do allow camping have very limited permit access, rules, exclusions etc. Some lands which ostensibly should be dispersed camping allowed you can't even access bc you'd have to travel through private land.

But your comment misses the entire crux of the article imho.

It's not that camping is anti-homeless, it's that there has historically been - and still is - a societal judgement and double standard based on ethnicity, class, and housed status.

It's about a double standard of the Govt forcing native Americans to give up their 'barbarous campfire life' while the rich were encouraged to have the same experience for the benefit of their health.

Same happens today just not as extreme.

Just to illustrate, i get this isn't the same as pitching a tent in front of someone's house.

But society says it's not ok for the homeless to stay in their RVs on public streets but it is ok for people to stay the night in 150k sprinter vans.

Not exaggerating, there are both happening in large numbers here in Denver. The difference is one can afford to move their place of rest around the other can't.

I might try and take a photo at the Movement Baker gym there are 2 homeless RVs on the road and almost always at least 3 sprinters, usually one with doors totally open someone just chilling there living their day. Shower & internet inside. For the rich climbing dirt bag only though.
It flopped because apple did that: "here is our standard model.. and by the way, here is a cheaper, crappier model".

Now they have the approach to have a full price standard model - and there is a super duper "pro" model for the extra successful, professional and rich people.

This approach makes more sense for the consumers and this makes the 12 and 13 fly the way they do.

It no longer makes sense to move from Russia to US. There may be better living standard in Moscow now. Uncle does not point it out, since he does not want start family argument.

Why do you need hope in humanity? Society conceptually has an interest in making sure you have something to lose, because that's how you can be controlled. Wealth, family, honor, hope. Surrender to loss, and you have nothing to fear. The Earth will be lifeless one day, no matter nuclear weapons or climate change.

The dinosaurs probably didn't feel bad about letting a space rock hit Earth; it just happened. Who am I to say whether they could have done something differently to not die out? Is it their fault they didn't have hands to build Mars escape pods? (Perhaps they did.) Is it humans' fault that we're greedy and dumb enough to burn said dinosaurs? Would the dinosaurs have scorched the skies too, if they had the dexterity? (Perhaps they did.)

If no space junk hit Earth and the dinosaurs didn't die out, would I even have a brain to formulate this sentence and a laptop to send it to you? Perhaps this good/bad categorization humans spend so much time on doesn't actually matter. Sometimes chance and change are useful. We can't reliably predict the weather tomorrow; why do we expect fixing Earth is something in our ability? Because it gives you something to lose. A fight to unite behind.

Change what you can change, and accept the things you cannot. The true nature of humans is probably much simpler than anyone makes it out to be.

Thank you for the expansive write-up! I'm not afraid to admit that many of the details go far beyond my understanding, but it has been very insightful nonetheless.

As someone blessed with severe combined type ADHD (aka super ADHD) and not entirely happy with my current medication, I'm always on the lookout for this type of news in a form that is relatively digestible.

The one thing I've been running into, is that all the medication works great in that they are all more or less successful in achieving those behavioural changes I am looking for, but none of them last anywhere near as long as advertised (normal release 10mg Ritalin effects come and go within the first 30 minutes of taking), which leads to nasty rebounds and such.

Currently I'm on 30+30+20 mg of staged release methylphenidate (Medikinet) and it whilst it does (barely) last me the day, there are other things that make it not so great (which I'll spare you the details of, unless interested). Just chugging along, waiting for something better to come along in the hopefully not too distant future :)

I sort of knew before going in to the experiment the "trick" that most humans perceive randomness wrongly. So I knew coin flip sequence "hhhhttthhht" is more "random" than "hthhtththhth", which most people would choose.

I guess my knowledge kind of ruins the experiment. Note I chose the first sequence because I know, but I have to battle with my intuition which urges me to pick the second (wrong) option.

Ok you purchase $25 then you purchase $10,000 instead of $9975. Are we sure based on the message that they in that scenario that they are refunding the entire purchase of $10,000 or just the excess $25?

If that was so it would make perfect sense that the third transaction to purchase $9975 would fail because you already purchased your limit in the second transaction. In that case user would expect 2 refunds 25 and 9975 NOT 10,000 and 9975.

I see no need for emojis. Maybe it was fun when some IM apps started to turn text (like :-* ) into little images, but now we have software for making emojis, software for rendering emojis, thousands of utf8 codepoints for every possible emoji, emojis of all races and genders, bugs in software because it was supposed to have text input and can't handle emojis correctly, whole sites and fonts and keyboards made specifically for emojis… Did humanity really waste thousands of hours so that people can send a little poop image?

Can people just explain their feelings as they always did in the past, or if that's for some reason not possible, just send a photo or a jpeg of a smiling cartoonish face? Do we really need emojis as they are, sequences of bites that have to be standardized and render correctly on every device and any font?

I just don't get this obsession with emojis. It started as a fun toy, but now it's a huge waste of time for thousands of developers.
For this reason whenever someone speaks professionally instead of just saying the thing directly not only they're saying the original thing it's meant to be (ie. I don't have time for you, I told you so, that's a horrible idea...), but they're also adding an element of plausible deniability, which makes it pretty cowardly.

When I see managers speak like this I know the rot of bureaucracy has plagued the company culture and is time to find a smaller/less bs-type company.
