There is a lot of questioning and helpful back-and-forth in this thread, so I’ll toss myself in:

I have been working as a high school English teacher since 2012. Without a doubt, large parts of this job reinforce and feed my core values. I am acutely aware that my job, and the relationships that I develop, matter in a meaningful way; however, my engagement with the job has shifted over the last three or four years, and I recognize that it is time for me to step away from the classroom.

I am not jaded, burned out, or coasting on my commitments. I am merely looking for the next door to open come June.

yeah but we need to pretend there’s a shortage, so we can import cheap slave-like labour from third-world countries
> Setting up your phone so it can directly access your crypto wallets appears to be the modern equivalent of carrying physical silver/gold/bearer bonds around in your backpack every day.

Arguably it’s much worse too as at least worth the physical bonds and metals, the thief has to carry them away. Normally that’s be transferred to a second or even third member of the crew.

Digital assets are going to put the thief team members that are handed off the stolen goods out of work. Maybe they can learn to code.
Especially since the Bank of Japan has been trying deliberately to generate some inflation for a few decades now, and mostly failing. They did ZIRP, they ‘monetized’ their debt, they did all the things.
Or alternatively, have a relative who will let you use their address? That seems a lot cheaper.

A hard case is combination of not having money and not having family.
Paid off for me. Very satisfying busting a company selling my address and bringing to their privacy officer's attention as to why I'll never be a customer of theirs again.
Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D helped with my depression, and gave me more energy. Exercise really helped with my mood, gave me more energey, and helped me destress as well.

People's bodies differ, and they may have different nutrient deficiencies/overdoses depending on what they eat and how they live their life (most obviously, those who don't get much sun are more likely to lack vitamin D).

Everyone who suffers from depression should definitely take a hard look at their diet and at whether they have some nutritional deficiency or imbalance, and see if they can get more exercise and sunlight, to start with.

Of course therapy with a respected therapist you like and trust can be helpful too.. and medication helps some people, though personally I view it as more of a bandaid that only treats symptoms and not the underlying cause.

> Why shouldn't a "senior" developer know what a binary tree is?

Because it's not about binary trees. You could as well ask why a "senior" developer shouldn't know what:

- a TLB is

- a Trie is

- UDP is

- consistent hashing is

- the CAP theorem is about

- NFS is

- BFS is

- and a large etc.

As you can see, a question like "what a binary tree is" could easily be as well "what BFS is about". So, it's not about "senior" developers not knowing their stuff, but that there is so much to know about, that certain developers may know better about certain topics than others. For instance, I don't know by heart the algorithm for inverting a tree; sure, I can give it a try and may come up with a solution... but I'm sure a fresh grad student who has studied in the last semester how to inverted a binary tree, will come up with a solid algorithm faster than I can come up with my weak algorithm.

> I wouldn't want to hire someone who doesn't know about algorithms and data structures and thinks he can solve anything with Google.

Same can be said about not hiring someone who doesn't know the basics of Operating Systems (e.g., TLBs), or the basics of networking (UDP vs TCP), or the basics of distributing systems (e.g., CAP theorem, distributed transactions)...

I'm not saying "There is too much to learn about! Please don't ask me anything!", I'm saying that at a given point in time, any experienced developer can provide a poor algorithm (and so fail the interview) to invert a binary tree.

So a psychologist who wrote a book condemning the original twins IQ study now publishes a paper where she purportedly refutes that study's most famous findings based on the analysis of a single set of separated twins?

Isn't this the ultimate in p-hacking? Is there any reason to draw any conclusions from a sample size of one?
Out of interest, where did you go, and what were your reasons for stopping?

I think I can relate to a lot of what you say. I'm not saying I'm doing things the right way, but I've met people that you're describing that are basically on a very long holiday.

It's a proper cliche, but travel has definitely broadened my horizons. I hope you don't discourage it too much - emphasize travelling with purpose, and when to stop.
It's quite unlikely that more than half the trades would be wash trading.

People are focusing on the layout of the keyboard, but in my opinion the real problem is that there are eight different potential points of interaction (three walls of text, the alphanumeric keyboard, a credit card slot, an ATM-style keypad, a tap-to-pay interface, and whatever the concave section in the lower left is) and it’s not clear where to start or what you’re supposed to do in what order; it’s an assault on the senses. There are instructions in one of the walls of text, but not the first wall of text — those are terms and conditions.

I think it could be way better if it was slightly reorganized so the instructions were clear and positioned near the point of interaction they were describing (“1. Enter plate number (or whatever) here. 2. Enter payment here. 3. Take ticket and place on dash.”)

I don’t claim to be the best at it but I design UIs pretty frequently and one thing I’ve learned is that nobody reads anything if it’s more than one or two words; they just start pressing buttons by intuition and proceed by trial and error, and there are a lot of buttons to get lost in here.

This is interesting but not new. A study from 1973 found that monozygotic twins reared apart have mean absolute difference of over 6 IQ points, with maximum difference observed several times that. A 16-point difference would be less common but there would be no difficulty finding one in a population of a thousand twin pairs, especially with massive family and cultural differences. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-011-6129-9_...

Also, another commenter notes the lower-scoring twin had a life-altering concussion. Pretty enormous omission from this reporting.

Despite this single shoddily-reported example, monozygotic twins reared apart show much more similar IQs than unrelated individuals raised together, indicating that genetics are the dominant driver of IQ. https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/1996-bouchard-2.pdf

Eh, the JVM startup time is much less these days (read: these last several years), however loading Clojure is quite slow comparatively and that's what ends up dominating. On my machine, here's a hastily written Fact.java:

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class Fact {
public static BigInteger fact(BigInteger n) {
if (n.equals(BigInteger.valueOf(1))) {
return BigInteger.valueOf(1);
} else {
return n.multiply(fact(n.subtract(BigInteger.valueOf(1))));
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println(fact(BigInteger.valueOf(100)));
}
}

With OpenJDK 11.0.14, `time java Fact.java` gives real/user/sys of 0.267s/0.654s/0.033s. But that's not compiling the file first which some programmers aren't even aware is a thing Java can do now, if I do the usual thing of compiling with javac then on the class file `time java Fact` I instead get 0.050s/0.043s/0.010s. For Clojure, `time java -jar /usr/share/clojure-1.10/lib/clojure.jar fact.clj` gives 0.468s/1.069s/0.056s.

Edit: for fun since the author mentioned Common Lisp, `time sbcl --no-sysinit --no-userinit --script fact.lisp` gives 0.005s/0.003s/0.002s. If I make a binary out of this instead, `time ./fact` gives 0.003s/0.002s/0.001s`. Since even a time of an empty C program's a.out can sometimes give numbers like 0.001s/0.000s/0.001s I'm clearly running into precision limits of the time command. (CL itself has a time macro that will helpfully give you a processor cycles count, about 290,000 on my machine for this.) I think the author is overestimating the difficulty of adding features to Common Lisp relative to what they plan to do with this toy; CL for scripting works great too.
Ask HN: Any Open Library Memberships?
I really enjoy my local library in Texas but the digital/Overdrive selection they offer is limited. Do you know of any libraries that have open memberships to non-locals?
Unless you know you’re good and everyone wants you. Otherwise, yeah, good luck with pushing back.
What if Apple ended up supplying older M1 designs, not cutting edge but efficient on batteries and forced down to a really low price… to Google, for making chromebooks with? Bottom end craptops not even being handled by Apple anymore but still running an older generation of M1 cpus, with the lesser but still substantial benefits and the battery life?

On the extreme low end it's not only about Windows. Chromebooks are a thing. Eventually M1 chromebooks and Apple leveraging the fact that now they're a CPU designer? After they do some more upgrades to their own tech for their own purposes?

Your view that the Republicans will follow the constitution is flawed. They follow power.

This is an incorrect statement. Gerrymandering ensures those populations do not get what they want. They do not have real representation.

Is this a USA thing? As a child of an RAF pilot who moved around a lot (here and overseas), I have never encountered this.

>> Who am I to criticize someone who takes such immense risks to get out of their comfort zone

Because this often means other people taking similar risks to rescue them. As a former rockclimber I am all for adventure, but some of this open ocean stuff is beyond reason. From rogue waves to pirates, often your open ocean fantasy is less skill than a roll of the dice. You are also rolling the dice for all of those onboard the ships and helicopters that will be sent to rescue you.
Given sufficient time and a sufficiently expert programmer. It is not that easy to beat Java for complex programs where your workload is really variable and can’t use the usual tools like arenas.
It is worth noting that one of the twins had contracted measles:

> She was later taken to a hospital that was approximately 100 miles away from her family’s residence and diagnosed with the measles

Which in some cases affects cognition due abnormal immune responses which result in brain swelling.
I have personally scored more than 15 points differently at different times in my life.

OpenMP can parellize a for loop like:

#pragma openmp parallel for
for(int i=0; i<1000000; i++)
C[i] = A[i] + B[i];

It's normal C++ and the pragma auto-parallelizes the loop. It's actually really easy and convenient.

OpenMP is probably the easiest join/fork model of parallelism on any C++ system I've used. It doesn't always get the best utilization of your CPU cores, but it's really, really simple.

It's the best way to start IMO, far easier than std::thread, or switching to functional style for other libraries. Just write the same code as before but with a few #pragma omp statements here and there.
Not all sites offer that, especially smaller ones. I've had to deal with this before, and even emailing every contact email I could find doesn't help. I ended up changing the passphrases of all the other services instead.
Yes, it's meaningless among developers, but not among recruiters. Since I work first and foremost in exchange for money, I make it pretty clear to recruiters that I am "a very senior software architect with knowledge in X, Y and what not under my belt"... and so, I get more offers and got more money when negotiating an offer.

Among my colleagues, or when someone (not a recruiter) asks me what I do for a living, I say: I'm a computer programmer.
A healthy gut microbiome is an outcome that can be strongly influenced by environment.
>Vaccines are not an opinion, though some try very hard to suggest so

This rigid, dogmatic, exclusionary point of view is antithetical to the scientific process. No conclusion is beyond skepticism, especially regarding the safety and efficacy of a rushed novel biotechnology. What you're preaching is not science, it's scientism.

Furthermore, skepticism regarding the covid mRNA vaccines does not make one an antivaxxer. That's a lazy rhetorical dismissal, not an actual argument. All vaccines go through trials and most fail either for poor safety, efficacy, or both. mRNA vaccines are no different, except typical protocols were suspended because of a crisis. Skepticism is warranted.

/r/COVID19 typically enforces the same rigid dogma in your post. The kind of rigidness that saw this submission flagged here within 5 minutes of submission. That's a bias that detracts from credibility, to put it mildly.
I am sorry you are going through this. I have dual citizenship in Germany/US which certainly gives me a certain feeling of comfort as having a way out should I feel I need it. For me personally its not gay rights, though those are still very important to me. I would cast your net as wide as possible in looking at various countries that have laws/cultures that are more aligned with your own; some might have much more lax citizenship requirements than others. But as with everything there is usually a trade off.

Moving out of state might also work of course, and it will hopefully over time send a strong message to states like Texas.

Good Luck one way or the other.

PS: btw if you do leave the state, send a quick email to all your reps and perhaps those on the other side of the isle to let them know why you are leaving and how much you contributed to the local economy in order to send a strong message. Might help those left behind in Texas who are in a similar situation to you but have less means to move.

I find these posts important on many points.

-- The importance of the impact of non-evident factors bringing unwellness;

-- Individual difficulties in assessing sources for unwellness and identifying them;

-- A widespread disregard for subtleties as an ever-increasing mark in societies.

This ever-spreading construct that one can disregard and overcome any stimulus, so people can just live under any condition, which could be dismissed as unimportant (to the point of seeing large masses of people utterly oblivious to all feedback). While others were educated on keeping subtleties in the highest regard...
Antifog coatings from any scuba supply shop help, but one really effective method is just to aim a hair dryer at the spot you need clear. Not only does it get rid of fogging there, it prevents new condensation from forming because of the residual heat.
Thank you for putting into words exactly how I was feeling. I often find myself wondering how much time people spend on social media and wonder how much loss to society all this “wasted time” is - but of course it’s not “wasted” for the participants. They get something in return. It is no different than wondering in previous decades how much time people spent watching TV or reading books. It all depends on what content you consume and why. Come to think of it I spend a lot of time on HN….
I bet that you will see the same extreme anti-crypto regulars screaming and crying on yet another blockchain, crypto related post on HN again.

My understanding is the underlying argument is ultimately about fetal personhood and a national ban would be about protecting constitutional rights of the unborn (and having disputes about that rise to the level of SCOTUS for a ruling).

That’s the bit I think you’re missing and why it may not just be about reserved rights for the states or about congressional legislation. I believe this is also the stated goal of some of these orgs and it’s a moral belief they hold.
I too was looking for a job last year and it made me wholly depressed. Rejection after rejection, not knowing whether I'd be ask a leetcode easy, or medium, or whether I'd be grilled on some obscure/gotcha language features (C++ takes the crown in that domain). The randomness of it all, passing the technical tests but failing the interview with the CEO. The wide range of topics on which you might be quizzed on. Frontend, backend, javascript quirks, typescript. You worked with C++ 3 years ago? Then tell me what that piece of code does. Sorry it's undefined behavior according to the page 756 of the C++ standard version 17. You don't know how to answer this question about databases and you call yourself a backend developer? You don't know this very specific feature of SQL? Solve this leetcode problem for me. And then again the next day, and the next day, and the next week. And the week after that. And it's been two months and you've been rejected 10 times. And then you go on HN and you read that the market is hot, the market is white hot! But you, you're ready to snap at the first offer that comes to you because you're emotionally drained. Leetcode in the morning, sending applications in the afternoon, then some leetcode again before going to bed. Repeat everyday, even on weekends.

It's heavily implied that the twin who was lost, diagnosed with measles, and raised in the US has the lower IQ, but never actually stated in the article.
As the article explains, there used to exist light tanks and heavy tanks until advancement of technology made the distinction obsolete and we ended up with only the "main battle" type of tank combining maneuverability, armor and firepower in a single package. As the article also explains, German "panzer" and English "tank" simply have different meanings, at least pedantically speaking. Translations aren’t always 1:1. (My native language actually follows the German convention.)
Most countries actually don’t care about you working on a tourist visa, as long as it’s incidental to the travel and the work is online.

The US is the exception here, not the norm.
That's an awful lot of assumptions. These practices are happening outside the very lucrative tech hubs as well. If this was just the hubs, that'd be something else entirely.

Nor do I believe constantly encouraging more and more competition is in anyway healthy for society as a whole. Companies are already facilitating burnout cultures as is, and it's not at all evident if this benefits them in the long run.
I'm with you there, it just happens not to be the same with everyone.

Some folks have very complicated home situations, living with family they don't get along with, living with roommates that are fun, loud, and work for competitors, living with boyfriend/girlfriend that they're having a falling out with, etc.

Some folks have demons of their own that they can't deal with without social pressure. People with alcohol abuse problems for example, since nobody can smell your breath on videoconference, might have trouble not day drinking when they're at home with their stash all day.

Finally and perhaps most importantly, it is a very different experience for kids coming out of college or very fresh in the industry not to have any folks they can easily turn to for advice they'd otherwise have gotten from work colleagues. Work advice, career advice, life in the city kind of advice, you name it - especially if you moved cities or countries for your career, the workplace is a really important factor in helping you get settled.

I'm not saying on balance these would tilt things in favor of working from home or the office, but I'd encourage you to ask around coworkers how they feel in order to get a sense of what other situations might be like.
