I can only speak for myself, but I think the answer is "No.. sortof.. it depends.. maybe?"

Writing an epic and a dozen US is definitely a lot quicker for one person to do, than it is for a team to implement it. So from that side, PM does a lot less work. Plus there's dev work like platform architecture, upgrading, platform, change management, automated test-cases etc, that I don't even have to think about. There's a massive multiplier there.
Maybe 1 day a week writing requirements can keep a team busy and another day for answering questions, sprint ceremonies etc (story review, signing off demos) - but I'd say less than half my time is dealing with the actual productive work.

Dev team just functions on 2-week sprints and the commitments they've given - so hard for it to go too-sideways, and they're safely insulated.

Majority of my time goes on the "meta-work" - trying to manage what goes into those sprints.
Customer requirements/placation - they don't (and shouldn't) have to give a toss about our internal sprints - so somebody has to ensure they'll be happy/not-going-to-sue in 18 months. Also the budget side is a complete Pain-in-the-arse.
Your Agile trainer imagines there's some single pot of money to splash about however you choose to spend most efficiently.
Reality is you're fighting for little top-down piles on internal accounts and then trying to fit the work you've done to them.
90% is an exaggeration. Even someone doing CRUD has to be familiar not only with HTTP verbs, but also some headers, response codes, query strings, request bodies, understand how caching works, etc, at some point. The only way to avoid it is only working for years on the simplest of projects.

They don't have to read RFCs in bed before sleep, but they should at least know the gist of what they contain.
What a wild ride of a post - thanks for sharing!
I’m not saying they should take one for the team. I’m saying we should treat them as disorders to mitigate the near term disadvantages so they can survive and pass on their genes.
Do you know how a patient would get funneled to someone like you with expertise on this matter?

My experience with GPs is that they do not understand those issues and do not know how to direct to someone who does. It's not like a physical ailment where they know with a fair degree of certainty what the next avenue is.
I (mostly) quit soda last fall and I don't like coffee. I still use caffeine occasionally when I've slept poorly and need to wake up.

The biggest effect on my productivity is that I need fewer bathroom breaks. No danger of getting fired (except possibly from excessive HN browsing).
The site's logo is the Chinese/Japanese character 乱, usually glossed "disorder" or "chaos" but often larger in scale than the English words imply: many events we'd call civil wars are 乱 in Japanese and Chinese.

Which seems appropriate: the blog post here is forecasting some serious geopolitical turbulence that's about to hit economic turbulence, with unpredictable but highly likely unpleasant consequences. And it doesn't even mention a potential civil war (乱?) in the US, which is starting to move from unthinkable to merely unlikely.
In 2016, the Apple Watch was selling so badly that Apple was giving it away to its employees at an 80% discount. If any engineer at the company were responsible for such an epochal failure, he would have been tarred and feathered and then hanged, drawn and quartered. Instead, the manager responsible was allowed to let his RSUs vest for 4 years, and then let go with a $100m parachute deal.
Just because it says "a noun" doesn't make it one word. That's like saying "brown pants" is one word. If you know Chinese you'd know it's two words, because mein means noodles and chow means fried (as opposed to lo, which means tossed).
> "Growing up, ADHD was my biggest enemy in life and I didn't even realize it."

That corresponds to what many ADHD adults have experienced. Based on what I've observed among ADHD patients, early response to treatment is a reason for optimism. Chances are ongoing treatment will support continued improvement for months if not years. And not just the patient but also the person's family and beyond. Differences in outcomes are decidedly non-trivial.
> In November 2021, Rivian was valued more than Ford and GM

That’s insane. I’d argue it’s insane that Tesla is worth more than those two. Rivian has made less than 2000 cars. Cars are not an easy industry and require a ton of skill and capabilities and manufacturing prowess. As Tesla has learned over the last decade plus.

I know people wanna get in on the next giant stock. But a random electric car company does not seem like a good investment. Even if it pays off it’s going to take a very long time. And that assumes they actually survive the first few years.

I don’t think electric cars are a bubble. I think they’re the future.

I think the stocks are a bubble.
SICP uses Scheme. Racket is a rather different, much larger language.

Racket's default #lang isn't even compatible with SICP -- for example its cons cells aren't mutable. (Though it's perfectly fine to use Racket tooling with SICP or other Scheme books -- just set #lang scheme instead of #lang racket).
I don't really trust mental health diagnoses, but I'll admit to being heavily biased by a background in molecular biology, microbiology and biochemistry. Some diseases are clearly and unambiguously diagnosable - say you have drug-resistant TB, we can do a PCR test and detect the exact strain of TB you are suffering from. Even in some other diseases where there is no blood test and the diagnosis is clinical, like Parkinson's, the criteria seem so much clearer than anything I've heard about ADHD / ADD etc. For example:

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-t...

While I can believe the condition does exist (schizophrenia may be similarly difficult to accurately diagnose, but it surely exists), it really seems to be overdiagnosed in children, and in adults, I imagine amphetamine addiction plays a big role in continued diagnoses. It's rather odd to read articles about it that make no mention of this factor.

https://www.verywellmind.com/amphetamine-high-21916
Yes!

I would just add that I like to refer to it as "attention dysregulation" rather than 'deficit'... my experience I can focus on one singular task to the exclusion of all other needs and demands (even base biological ones), to point of being in pain and exhaustion and causing myself harm.

Staying up for 40 hours programming... running trails for hours and hours... I have more than enough attention.
A lot of people cope really well with ADHD but it doesn’t mean biologically they are not “suffering” from the disorder.
Why should the individual have morals when dealing with corporations when corporations don't have morals?
Assuming you don't misspell your words or use jargon, they only take the first 7 (rather than all 10), so put your best ones up front I guess (playing with it, apparently this cost me 5 points, haha).
Imaginary mobility. The rich are more stuck in their country than anyone. Poor people can pack their bag and leave, the middle class is slightly less mobile and the rich are stuck where they are. The drive to leave the country, the suffering, when you cant find work and/or cant pay your bills and/or cant buy food is endlessly larger than "suffering" taxes. The UK is a profitable environment and the country isn't shitty enough to just run away - it's quite fine and dandy actually.

But all that is besides the point really.

It is preferable to have successful people who move towards things. People trying to move away from things are useless regardless how much money they have. They are beyond useless! Who needs them with there unambitious greed? What good will come from them? As you describe, all they care about is themselves? Their money will do nothing but build the next rent seeking scheme simply to take it away.

We should really buy them a large cruise ship and give them a going away party. Ill be standing there waving until she vanishes over the horizon. Then ill softly whisper: Goodbye angry men, may you find greener pastures elsewhere.
I'm not very familiar with meson. I can use cmake to build a project but I don't know how to find various build options without searching through that project's documentation. I probably haven't explored cmake enough.
What I have never understood is why don't FANG companies hires local American Programmers/Engineers for trial periods.

Hire them for a few weeks, and fire if necessary. It doesn't take more than a few days to weed out the fakers, and identify the diamond.

I say local because it's cruel to hire a guy from across the country just to be let go.

We all know most degrees, and designations are dubious at best.

Why not try out a bunch of local Americans whom live near the worksite, and keep the best person? (I guess some companies do that with interns, but what I'm proposing is a bit different. The prospective hires will be tested throughly at what they claim they know.

It seems like most younger job applicants would jump at the chance to work for a good company?

I'm not saying don't test them throughly before a temporary hire. Make the test difficult. Testing doesn't cost much with Zoom, and this welcoming technology.

In every job I had the best employee was mainly self-taught, and didn't have a great resume.

It seemed like they worked harder because they didn't have all the spinish behind their name, especially in this relatively new industry.
I get the correct amount of sleep. I don't need it. I just drink water.
I agree with most of this, but

Did anyone else realize they probably take some sort of distance function on word embeddings then immediately get bored and leave?

To be honest, you probably already know if you're creative or not.
I don't think it's so much complaining about wokeness itself as noting the US's unfortunate habit to attempting to force this down the throats of other countries, which seems likely to go down as well as, well, every other time the US has tried to force an abstract ideology down another country's throat (eg. democracy in Iraq or Afghanistan).
How many billions of dollars do you think Jony Ive cost Apple with his bad design? $100 billion?
I completely cut caffeine a few years ago. I was groggy and tired for about a week before I was entirely back to normal. Now I only use it to counter the occasional sleepless night, and not as an every-day thing. I continue to do my job just fine.
Because H1B workers are cheap and that wouldn't help them exclude White/Hispanic people.

One 300ml coffee in the AM while reading news and handling first emails. I prefer a different chemical for my "in the zone" type coding projects.

I don't think it would have any material effect on my job; neither is required. One just makes the coding process a little more fun -- and keeps my brain from wandering off to the next shiny thing.
I'm pretty sure that caffeine doesn't increase most people's productivity.

Any mental performance ascribed to caffeine in studies is always due to removing withdrawal symptoms. It doesn't increase them past their baseline.

In addition, caffeine works by stressing the body, thus reducing creative problem solving capabilities.

So, really if you quit caffeine, your performance might suffer for a few days, then it'd be back up to 100% or even higher.

I don't use caffeine (though I love coffee, it does not love me) I do use smallish dose Adderall XR for my ADHD, but even then I reduce/stop it when I need to be creative (architecture/design of complicated systems). For me, Adderall is great for slamming out repetitive tasks, it reduces my capacity for lateral thinking.
Im sure there is some truth to depression being adapative, but I wouldn’t trust anything that evo psych has to say. There is just no way to properly validate their arguments. We can barely explain bird beaks let alone the most complex organ we know of.
Having cut caffeine quite often, it usually takes me a week or two to bounce back to a base line. And then I am back to my usual productivity, given that I am sleeping 8 hours, eating well and am exercising.
I had two guys I maintained good friendships with after college, and then eventually they moved away, and we drifted apart. I did see one of them a few years ago, but other than that I haven't.

I had much better luck meeting people that have stuck around via going to Meetups regularly. Sure, quite a few people I met through Meetup eventually drifted apart, but I still keep in touch and hang out semi-regularly with about 20 people (almost all I first met eight years ago). Most of us like to play board games, so a lot of these are board game gatherings. Also these gatherings aren't organized through Meetup anymore, we're all just friends now.

I also still do things with a local writer's group from time to time, and several of those people I've known for over a decade now.

Finally I have some game designer friends (got up to 8 people at one point, but a couple people moved away) that I've been meeting up with several times a year (except during the pandemic, although we have started meeting up again recently) for the past four years. That started by me just going to game designer conventions and going "Where you from? Oh you're from near me? I host a playtest night roughly once a month, you should come."

So basically all these boil down to having some sort of shared passion. Those have helped maintain those friendships. You can always just invite someone to something related to the passion, although it doesn't have to be limited to just that.

Most of these didn't happen until I was long out of college, btw. Most of my 20s were pretty lonely outside of work until I started going to these things.
I'd be fine in steady state generally, but the "shift work" issue would make travel a pain (I often get 0200-0500 flights, etc.). I'd be wrecked for a week due to withdrawal headaches, though.
I think you’re purposely pretending like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Adderall gives you euphoria, focus, and energy whether you have ADHD or not. For people without ADHD it’s kind of like a strong cup of coffee.
Except caffeine consumption does have a substantial impact on personality and behavior, it's basically cocaine lite.
Where’d you hear that? It works quite well on people without ADHD
I feel like this is testing my English skill rather than my creative skill. Maybe English native speaker might easy to beat no native speaker with low vocabulary skill?
If you're writing a story and trying to flesh out a character, someone who leases an olive drab Jeep is likely (a) someone who has money and (b) someone who likes to go off-roading, or at least give the appearance of being rough-and-tumble. Olive drab is also a color commonly associated with military usage, so that plays into it.

On the other hand, you could have a character who owns a lime Honda Insight. That is an old, unstylish hybrid, so that character is likely frugal, square, and perhaps more environmentally conscious.

And yet both characters could be said to have a green car. But the more detailed word choices can help give the story more life.
Not running JS is both more efficient and more minimal than running JS, and so like the parent is saying, doing all that just to display a blank page without JS is kind of ironic.
Excellent. I think you would have gotten the internship. :)
I met someone early on in college so all of my friends were really "our" friends. They were friends of us as a couple and not individuals. Once we eventually split up 3 years later they never spoke to me again. It's probably best to be single throughout college, but oh well. Live and learn.
I can relate. Nearly all the friends and girlfriends I've ever had were a year or more older than I am, sometimes with a gap of 15 years. I don't really know why that is because, in retrospect, I was emotionally stunted until around my late 20's. Perhaps I had some other redeeming quality that made up for it which only older people could appreciate.
> Just because it says "a noun" doesn't make it one word.

In fact, it literally does, because "a" refers to a single entity.

> That's like saying "brown pants" is one word.

No, it is not at all like saying "brown pants" because in order for a word to be an open compound word the modifying adjective has to create a new noun. For example, 'living room' is an open compound word, while "brown room" is not. If you have trouble differentiating between open compound words and just words with modifying adjectives, once again, consult a dictionary.

> If you know Chinese you'd know it's two words

We are discussing English. In English, chow mein is what is called an open compound word, which is when two words come together to form a new single word. There are open compound words, like chow mein, and closed compound words, like notebook. But in both cases, open compound and closed compound words are singular words.

Edit: and also, the site explicitly tells you to select "nouns". So your objection that chow mein is "two words" (it's not), is irrelevant.
If corporations are people, then how come they don't get locked up for clear criminal violations?

I break the law in a criminal manner and I get to pay a fine and get sent to jail for a period of time. Corporations break the law which affect people ten thousand fold worse than I could ever do it and they just pay a fraction of their ill-gotten profits. Seems to me that if corporations were in danger of losing damned near everything for being in criminal violation of the law that their boards and chairmen might be less inclined to break said laws. At least that's what people who are for the death penalty as a deterrent would have me believe.
Correct.

Specifically: in the U.S., drugs are tested and approved for specific applications. That's the "label". "[U]sing an FDA-approved drug for an unapproved use [is] sometimes called an “off-label” use"

https://www.fda.gov/patients/learn-about-expanded-access-and...

Once a drug is approved, the drug may not be advertised contrary to its label. It may however be prescribed at a doctor's discretion for largely any use. That's by the FDA's own guidance:

From the FDA perspective, once the FDA approves a drug, healthcare providers generally may prescribe the drug for an unapproved use when they judge that it is medically appropriate for their patient.

(Same reference.)

"Off-label" may apply to the treated condition or to the dosing of a drug. Several examples at the link above.

Use of a prescription drug without a prescription, whether through sharing / borrowing / stealing from a prescibed user, or through grey or black market access, is nonprescribed use. For scheduled narcotics, this may be illegal, including for commonly-used painkillers such as codein (often combined with paracetamol, a/k/a Tylenol) or other opiates.
Tshark is CLI, this is TUI, that seems to be big differentiator. Though tshark seems more mature
A protocol analyzer implemented in anything short of formally-verified code is going to be "vulnerable" to logic errors, such that it might print (or not print) the wrong things. But a protocol analyzer implemented in C standard a decent chance of coughing up RCE.

I highly disagree with their definition of different from each other. Usage together does not make the words similar. If they'd said something about words you would not find together in a sentence then I'm certain you'd get very different results.
Keep rolling with it; there's an opportunity for someone to start a memory-safe protocol analyzer written in a higher-level language than C with a decent TUI, and have it snowball into something big. Best of luck!
I would say that mediocrity is okay as long as you don't force others to follow it. Sometimes I feel as if there is some sort of "militant mediocrity" happening in some corners of our profession, where anyone even remotely interested in digging one layer down is not only looked down as not being enlightened enough, but also committing a capital sins of acting against the business interests and walking outside the predetermined boundaries of their programming-caste. Cue horror stories of cowboy coders and NIH.
Hello everyone.
Firstly I want to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and suggestions here.
The intent of the project is not to make you respond with passive aggressive tone but to show you some alternatives of "how you might feel like saying sometimes" over "how you can reframe it a bit better (in some cases atleast)"

I have gathered the data from a content creator on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/loewhaley/) and yes of course the credits are mentioned everywhere about this.

Based on the responses here it seems like what I started as fun activity can be something more than I thought.

I'll be looking into the possibilities of improving the content to make it less satire and more appropriate for most of the people out there.

Since it's an open sourced project (https://github.com/AkashRajpurohit/howtoprofessionallysay), you can share your feedbacks and idea improvements there.

At ending note, I would just like to say to anyone who feels this is really good and I'm going to use this word by word, please don't, take this as a grain of salt and not seriously (atleast at this point of time till I better structure the content) and anyone who feels negative about this, I'm sorry you feel that way but don't take this very seriously.
Many Government orgs are underfunded and pay worse than private sector. FB engineers make bank compared to being a federal employee. It’s not surprising creating Fb accounts are easy. Why do we as a society value accounts on an advertisement marketplace more than essential services?
I agree about ongoing feedback. I have weekly/biweekly meeting with my manager where I give a brief summary of what I’ve been doing and what the state of projects are. She asks questions, makes suggestions where needed, and then we chat about whatever is needed. If anything were bothering me, this is where I would bring it up and where she would. When it get to annual review, I provide a summary of major projects. She mostly agrees and makes suggestions for the near future. Not a lot of surprises because we have been in sync all along.
This is exactly it. That's a big part of regular religious gatherings too. When you frequent a temple, mosque, or church every week. You're bound to make friends. We just haven't found a good replacement for that yet.
> Json/XML/any structured data? jc | jq.

Except that once you try EDN, you wouldn't want to deal with JSON anymore. EDN is a lot nicer - it's compact, doesn't contain "syntactical garbage", and easier to read and modify. To deal with API requests I use github.com/borkdude/jet, another useful tool from the author of babashka.
You can select the label and the arrow and press control+G to create a group.

You can also do the opposite, pin the arrow to the label so that if the label moves the arrow follows: double click the arrow to see the path points, select an end point and move it on top of the label until you see the bounding box of the label.
