Agreed, but somewhere around the neighborhood of that discussion hovers an increasingly growing concern as our global economy gradually grows cognitively denser over time with no discernible change in the trend. Remunerative jobs increasingly demand the kind of analytical, problem solving, critical thinking skills approximated in an inexact but kinda-sorta correlative manner by IQ tests. Roughly a quarter of the world population is below 80 IQ.

You can somewhat mitigate that by emphasizing perseverance, grit and commitment character traits, and reward those appropriately at the policy layers. Especially in employer roles, where those traits have been markedly lacking in the modern era. But that only takes you to around 15-20% say. At say 15% that still leaves about 1,185,000,000 people in the world steadily getting left behind in the burgeoning global economy. Even if you take the most aggressive estimates to filter that further, that's still a distributed population of around say 2-500 million. It doesn't make it any better that many of their jobs are prime candidates for replacement by increased automation unless they are in last-bastion niches (some of them quite large still, but with really bad compensation) that will only fall to Moravec-class robots.

There are no easy solutions here, it is a thicket of third rail politics, and incredibly nasty, unpleasant historical echos. But we must walk this difficult and treacherous road ahead of us with eyes open, lest we lose our humanity by trying to sweep this trend under the rug with patches to existing policies like these "We need to return to kings and aristocracy" proposals. We need better patches (IMHO; I'm not a fan of trying out Second System Syndrome with wholesale changes at the societal level, I'm more in favor of trying out incremental patches that are auto-sunset after a pre-determined fixed period unless overridden by a future generation's vote).
Not sure about Gisp specifically, but in my experience authors of transpilers tend to ‘reinvent the wheel’, in the form of low-level constructs—which usually reflect those of the target language. Especially since transpilers explicitly rely on the target language's standard library.

I'm guessing that various incarnations of the Scheme language may be most compatible and interchangeable.

So humans being imperfect, stupid creatures negates anything else this person may have to say?

The idea that Buddhist teachers should be some kind of perfect being is utterly false, and to be fair, if you ever thought so or believed someone when they claimed to be such a one; perhaps buddhism wasn’t so suitable for you anyway.

The goal is not to become some kind of zen droid. Quite the opposite.
PVMs (pro CRT monitors) are fairly common in the retro gaming space. I suspect it’s a combination of higher image quality plus higher build quality meaning more are likely to still be functioning (as opposed to, say, N64-era consumer TVs).

As for output options:

The NES had composite video out, in addition to the RF out (which you most likely needed in that era, unless you had a fancy TV).

The SNES kept the RF out, but added a proprietary AV multi out connector. This exposes composite video (and stereo audio) at a minimum, and older models did S-VIDEO and RGB component as well (cut in later-production models to cut costs).

The N64 used the same multi-out connector, but RGB’s always unconnected on the N64 and S-VIDEO only works on NTSC models. And RF’s gone on the N64, so you needed a separate RF modulator if all your TV had was an antenna input.

They don’t bother with underwriting for these small (to them) amounts. Like a bookie they know the odds and they play the averages.
It is more correct than the research that shows otherwise.
It's a level 3 system that allows you to relax and take your eyes off the road when it's active.

Tesla only has a level 2 system where you have to be ready to take over at a moment's notice, and you can never take your eyes off the road.
I'm speaking less about the individual and more about the method of education. I don't think someone should go from zero experience, to 6 or 12 month bootcamp, to lead engineer at their first job. Something very wrong with "the industry" as this is becoming more typical in recent years from what I've experienced.
Easier to launder money this way.
This seems like quite a fundamental misunderstanding. At least the kind of buddhism I practice, you never disconnect or “no longer feel guilt” or anything like this. Yeah, during Zazen we sit in equanimity with such feelings, but that’s very different to living that way all the time (which is impossible unless you’re some kind of psycho to begin with).
I went through a couple of periods of my life where I did a lot of traveling and it does burn out on you - there’s something regenerating about having at least a home base to go back to. For me, usually it takes about 3-4 weeks of nonstop travel to need a break, and one year or so of what I’ll call “ongoing travel” (going someplace for 3-7 days at least once per month) before an extended break feels necessary.

Turning off this spigot should be our biggest national security concern, in my opinion.
Nope. The industrial revolution was a phase change in how economies operated and how wealth was distributed, but if you chart back thousands of years you get the same exponential trends.

It's like every fashion fad in IT: stuff hits, everybody goes gaga over the toy examples until it's time to put it in production. Then they finally find out what kind of a dumpster trash fire the newfangled fashion fad is, and start looking at tried and true technologies. It's always the same.
Particularly in the realm of traffic, they tend to flout the law as well; go to nearly any police station and there will be both police and personal cars parked on the sidewalk, or illegally parked in spots.

What makes it particularly galling is that they also oppose automated enforcement of traffic laws. Officially it is because it would take away jobs (that they are not doing, since traffic enforcement in NYC leaves a lot to be desired), and unofficially because the police themselves benefit from the discretion exercised by fellow officers refusing to enforce laws on their colleagues.
I make about €48000 after taxes in Romania. And while the standards of living might be the same, it only matters while we are not competing for the same goods. You can afford a better car than me, better electronics, nicer trips in foreign countries, and so on since those kind of goods tend to have the same prices no matter where you live.

Also, your savings means more.
Remember bay area rates are double to triple what they are in most of the rest of the U.S. as well. There are a few other areas, like Manhattan and Seattle that have inflated rates, and a few specialties, like finance, that have inflated rates, but even in the U.S., $250k is remarkable.

The median is around $100-$130k for a senior software developer. In less-expensive areas, and especially in saturated specialties like web development, $75k is not uncommon.
The rules of monopoly are that if you land on an unowned tile you must buy it. If you decide not to, or can’t afford to, it can be bid on. Highest bid gets it. Even if it’s less than the cost.

Good luck! I sometimes wonder if it would be valuable to study the taxonomy of interactive software and compare/contrast the kind of architecture and data modeling best suited for each category. Perhaps the framing is too broad, but I often find myself wondering why an approach that clearly works great for my CRUD app can't really be generalized to effectively work with game state, or vice versa. (And part of me wonders if there's some yet-undiscovered paradigm that works remarkably well for almost every use case.)
Visible diversity is far more important to them than social class diversity. There are large boosts to admissions for non-Asian minorities, much smaller boosts for poor visible minorities and penalties for being both white and poor.

> Espenshade and Radford also take up very thoroughly the question of “class based preferences” and what they find clearly shows a general disregard for improving the admission chances of poor and otherwise disadvantaged whites. Other studies, including a 2005 analysis of nineteen highly selective public and private universities by William Bowen, Martin Kurzweil, and Eugene Tobin, in their 2003 book, Equity and Excellence in American Higher Education, found very little if any advantage in the admissions process accorded to whites from economically or educationally disadvantaged families compared to whites from wealthier or better educated homes. Espenshade and Radford cite this study and summarize it as follows: “These researchers find that, for non-minority [i.e., white] applicants with the same SAT scores, there is no perceptible difference in admission chances between applicants from families in the bottom income quartile, applicants who would be the first in their families to attend college, and all other (non-minority) applicants from families at higher levels of socioeconomic status. When controls are added for other student and institutional characteristics, these authors find that “on an other-things-equal basis, [white] applicants from low-SES backgrounds, whether defined by family income or parental education, get essentially no break in the admissions process; they fare neither better nor worse than other [white] applicants.”

> Distressing as many might consider this to be–since the same institutions that give no special consideration to poor white applicants boast about their commitment to “diversity” and give enormous admissions breaks to blacks, even to those from relatively affluent homes–Espenshade and Radford in their survey found the actual situation to be much more troubling. At the private institutions in their study whites from lower-class backgrounds incurred a huge admissions disadvantage not only in comparison to lower-class minority students, but compared to whites from middle-class and upper-middle-class backgrounds as well. The lower-class whites proved to be all-around losers. When equally matched for background factors (including SAT scores and high school GPAs), the better-off whites were more than three times as likely to be accepted as the poorest whites (.28 vs. .08 admissions probability). Having money in the family greatly improved a white applicant’s admissions chances, lack of money greatly reduced it. The opposite class trend was seen among non-whites, where the poorer the applicant the greater the probability of acceptance when all other factors are taken into account. Class-based affirmative action does exist within the three non-white ethno-racial groupings, but among the whites the groups advanced are those with money.

Luckily no truck driver wants to go to NYC…

The time before the last time I went through New York City I didn’t have the cash to pay the toll to not be in New York so the toll booth attendant gave myself and another driver directions on how to get to a free bridge by taking city streets. Fun times were had.

And no, as TFA claims, 53’ trailers aren’t designed to be only used on highways. A lot of the places we end up weren’t designed with them in mind (because they’re old or whatever) but if you take your time and use a little caution it is quite possible to get it done without taking out a bunch of baby strollers.

If normal folks knew half the sketchy stuff I’ve gotten up to in a big truck over the years they’d be a little horrified and a lot impressed because you have to be pretty good at this to last — usually it’s around the one year mark people get overconfident and make some stupid mistake that costs them their job. There’s a reason a lot of companies won’t talk to you without a couple years experience.

Always nice to be appreciated by random bloggers though, gives my life meaning.
I gave an anecdote mentioning one shitty individual who would likely do shitty things even as a proper CS student yes. Beyond that I'm dissing the form of education, not the individual human. Maybe they're "nice" people but if they are leading a team of engineers right out of bootcamp, you're gonna have a bad time (and I've seen this happen in at least one occasion as I mentioned).

To me documentation is largely a lost cause, it starts out behind the code and stays that way forever, because the machine can't execute the documentation. Yes, the human maintaining the code is more important than the computer running the code, but when you have an infinite number of tasks to get done, what the computer accepts is a pretty good stopping point for most people.

Personally I see a lot of value in documentation (that's how I learned the basics of programming and the systems I use), but since it's always out of date and wrong, I tend to undervalue it. Maybe that's a mistake.
Thanks a lot! I need to get better at generating synthetic data. All the libraries exist, I'm just not fluent in them yet.

If you think the books would help, and you recall their names, please do share!
Being highly subjective doesn't make its study less worthwhile in the slightest and study of subjective topics can still possess rigour and commonly held opinions derived from first principles (i.e. "taste"). Look no further than the study of art, music and literature and philosophy to see just how much humans enjoy deep dives into arbitrary rules. It's maybe even part of what makes us human.

You mean the two bottom players would have a delay, right? They already have a half-screen delay.
Or another option that I've heard of in several states is to do two years at community college, and then transfer to a state college. Some of the benefits of these programs are that acceptance to a state college is guaranteed provided the student maintains a certain GPA, and there are also some pretty generous financial aid benefits. [1]

I think this is something that should be encouraged much more often for students graduating from high school - especially for kids who don't really know what they want to do yet. Maybe take a year or two off, experience the real world and grow up a bit, and then do an associate's degree followed by a bachelor's degree. Or else maybe learn a trade. Or join the military.

I've known a lot of people who took big loans and went straight into college after high school, and ended up dropping out. Maybe they weren't ready yet, or maybe college just wasn't right for them. And the costs - both financial and developmental - can be pretty devastating.

When I click that link, I get redirected to https://www.brookings.edu/articles/no-aid-to-religion-charit.... The article is titled "No Aid to Religion?: Charitable Choice and the First Amendment". I read it, but it was written in 1999 and not relevant. I'm not sure what's going on there.

I did manage to find the article though. Thanks for sharing. Based on my own experience attending a private university, I had thought students at ivy league schools mostly used private loans. Unfortunately, the article doesn't break out which debt is government-backed and which isn't. This much debt in general is problematic for young professionals, but my understanding is that "cancel student loans" is about the government-backed debt. I'll have to see if I can find a breakdown somewhere.
Intel: Expect chip shortage to last into 2024
What's yet even more funny is the website in your user info is suckpuppet.org. Heavy irony I guess? I hope?
I tried this in BU's quick cost estimator: 2 parent 1 child household, $100k income, $1 million house with no mortgage, $100k in savings.

Results: $44700 need-based scholarship, $29400 parent/student contribution, $3500 student loan, $2000 student work-study.

Going back and changing it to not have a house changes the need-based scholarship to $54600 and drops the parent/student contribution to $19500, leaving the rest unchanged.

Restoring the million dollar house but taking away the $100k savings makes the scholarship $49600 and the parent/student contribution $24500.

Finally, getting rid of both house and savings, leaving just the $100k income makes the scholarship $59500 and the parent/student contribution $14600.

So...it looks like having $100k in savings adds about $5000 to your expected contribution, and having a $1 million mortgage free house adds about $10k to your expected contribution.

I also tried it with $100k in a retirement account, and that changed nothing. $100k in non-retirement account investments was the same as $100k in savings.

It looks like you are going to have to have a lot more in income and/or non-retirement assets to actually get anywhere near full sticker price.

I guess there's some resistance against using the name Ohm, haven't heard of an electric car with a name inspired on that.
I mean, I'd also posit that organizational/corporate organization--whether you think scrum or agile or whatever makes sense--is also likely related (on average: same as with literature here, not saying "in all cases") to cohort succession.
That’s what business owners want you to think so they don’t have to change what they’re doing. But the entire post is proof that it doesn’t have to be this way. Set a date when the trucks have to be gone. When the day comes, enforce it with the entire apparatus of state power. Two things that government is good at, and the private sector will figure out the rest.

Employers have to show they can’t hire enough locals. If there is a surplus of “software developers” locally, it might be tricky to get H1B folks.

So they simply say, “We are not hiring for software developers, we are hiring for DBAs … totally different thing ;).”
scapy was incredibly useful while I was writing some packet processing for just crafting test payloads and iterating quickly.
I'd argue the years writing bots and coding in their spare time are what benefited them and the bootcamps just helped them pass the interview... which is exactly the same thing I've been saying in all my comments already.
It depends. I guess if you want to work in a corporate setting like an insurance company, there will be a need the next years.

I would suggest to keep your highly specialized database skill and invest in infrastructure as code methodologies (e.g. terraform) so that you can be the enabler/trainer for other teams on how to setup/upgrade their database instances and also help them with database migrations.

So I would say you can transition to a highly specialized consultant (maybe in house) on how to optimize a database to keep your skill and learn infrastructure as code skills.
We are all an edge case.
I own a 3-letter domain with a 2-letter TLD and still spells my family name. Many of my friends finds it cool when I share links via that domain. The links are indeed easy to remember but it comes at a higher yearly cost of renewal and I had forgotten to renew twice. Luckily, I was able to re-register them (nobody wants it, ;-)).

Example https://oin.am/rr/
I’m it sure what this optimises for.

Those who care about SEO use long slugs for the extra juice. Those who don’t can use IDs or whatever works for them.

Shareable URLs - still need to share the domain, and most of us (including sive.rs) don’t have a particularly memorable one.
And to that I would argue: that's a hiring problem, not a learning problem.

Based on my anecdotes (I guess I am getting into drawing broad conclusions now), good bootcamps are a good way to turn someone into an entry-level engineer who's equipped to start contributing value and then learn more as they go. If they got hired immediately as a lead engineer and weren't ready for it (which they wouldn't be, if the bootcamp was their only experience), that's the company's problem.

I would add too that there's a huge gap in quality between the best and the worst bootcamps; there are some that consistently crank out totally capable junior engineers, but I've read horror stories about others that are outright scams. It's possible we need an accreditation process of some sort.
