> Since the linker's input file is created not by humans but by the compiler, it is unlikely that the linker takes a corrupted file as an input. Therefore, the policy did not actually increase a crash rate. The code that trusts input was much simpler than the one that does not trust any byte of an input file.

Interestingly I have encountered crashes in Ninja (not lld), caused by corrupted on-disk state I had to delete: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/1978.

It is considerably more complicated. Apart from added axes of movement (not just vertical, but pitch/roll), you also have to contend with the fact that air is the only source of friction. Acceleration and breaking are much slower than something with wheels on the ground. There is a reason why flying a plane in Grand Theft Auto is much harder than driving a car, even with the simplified physics and vehicle controls.

If we could make aircraft that handle in our atmosphere like the spaceship in Descent, then that would close the gap a bit. But I'm not holding my breath.

I think a big part is also to be able to operate under pressure and not panic. It's one thing to operate a complex machine from the comfort of your office chair, it's another thing to operate the same machine when any small mistake could mean death.

> A 2% speculative investment in an emerging technology is a drop in the bucket compared to what El Salvador has been through in the past 30 years, with multiple past presidents arrested or fleeing the country following corruption charges.

That's an extremely generous and charitable interpretation.

El Salvador's investment in btc is hardly relevant with regards to it's nominal cost. It is however significant in the impact it has on El Salvador being able to refinance it's sovereign debt and earn trust in the country's institutions.

The thing with countering averages with anecdotes is that neither really paints a holistic picture of the demand pyramid. Back of napkin calculations say around 4% of US developers work at the FAANGMULAs, meaning that some 29 out 30 dev earnings are somewhere lower in the pay scale. But 1 out of 30 isn't an astronomically small number, so you could very well be one of those 300k TC people surrounded by others in that cohort and thinking the market is hot because professionals w/ that experience set are rare and in demand, and at the same time you could go on r/cscareerquestions and see a deluge of new grads complaining they sent out hundreds of resumes and heard nothing back.

The thing about pay that the job hoppers apparently don't take into account is that levels aren't static. Looking at my own network over the years, virtually everyone I know has been promoted or otherwise landed more senior roles, to varying degrees on both sides. You may also have noticed a significant increase of "staff engineers" in the past few years, whereas the role was basically unknown some 10 years ago. Many companies also have been quietly giving out retainer bonuses/raises to slow down attrition.

Since I started my career, I've had multiple significant compensation increases, some from raises, some from promos, one from a team move, and some from changing jobs. Increasing your experience/expertise over time can have a huge impact. Going from no-name companies to household names can have a huge impact. Relocating can have a huge impact. Negotiations (even internal ones) can have a huge impact. There isn't a one-glove-fits-all when it comes to an individual's opportunities for comp growth.

On the other hand, stagnation is very much real. There are plenty of people that do nothing in terms of career progressions, negotiations, etc and just wait for year-end bonuses to fall into their laps. It'd naive to be surprised these folks aren't keeping up pay-wise.

This is the same sort of argument-by-definition that gun rights supporters use to dismiss anyone who talks about "assault weapons". A whole lot of parents don't want their children separated by race and have white kids told that they bear personal responsibility for historical racism and anything they accomplish is only possible due to the oppression of others, while black kids are told that society hates them and they'll never get a fair chance to succeed (unless of course we overthrow the racist misogynist capitalist power structure). If your response to that is "well actually CRT only refers to the specific legal theories of Kimberle Crenshaw", you're not addressing the actual point.

Recent Xoogler here. I've never met anyone who was actually happy at Google when you sat them down for an honest talk. Everyone was either coasting and depressed/disengaged, or overworked and stressed (I would say 80% were the former). People were frustrated about the bureaucracy, the promo process, the slow pace, the meaninglessness of the work an individual IC does, the stress for managers. Even on a super sexy project dealing with cutting edge AI that got tons of press coverage, everyone was frustrated. This company has a serious cultural issue.

Passenger Lands Plane After Pilot Gets Sick
Flying a small plane like this really isn't all that hard as long as a) the weather is good, b) the plane itself is working normally, and c) you have a basic understanding of how the controls work. When people are learning to fly for their private pilot's license it's not terribly unusual for people to solo (be competent enough to fly alone) after 5-10 hours of instruction. Granted many people do take longer, but it's often because their instruction is very spread out. At typically > $150 per hour many people can only afford a few hours of lessons per month.

What sorts of places are they working that they have seen this multiple times?! Maybe I’ve been very fortunate, but I’ve worked for a Fortune 500 company for 20 years and I cannot think of a single times things have become so stressful that anyone was close to tears. Usually things are very calm and when managers talk about work life balance they really mean it and walk the walk and don’t just talk the talk.
In a multi-car pileup, the car immediately in front of you literally stops in an instant, much faster than if it were to fully hit the brakes. It's much faster than any driver could realistically expect. It can happen so fast, you may not even see brake lights turn on. It's why these pileups can get so surprisingly large.

The other way to look at it is to see it as very intelligent filtering by the author. If I only want to work at places that are committed to my mental health, and I have the expertise to get hired at Google, then I might very well be comfortable with filtering out 99% of companies. If the average person sees me and goes "Well I think this person is very unbalanced" and chooses not to hire them, that saves a lot of time for the author.

You could say a very similar thing about coming out as gay. If a man figures out he's gay, he doesn't benefit from still including women in his dating pool. Maybe his dating pool shrinks by 95%, but who cares, he only wants the last 5% anyway. The hard part of dating isn't really finding a dateable person, but narrowing down the set of all people to a mostly optimal one. Likewise, the hard part of finding a job isn't finding a place that's hiring, but narrowing down the set of all jobs to a mostly optimal one.

My sister actually successfully sued an employer for psychological damage due to workplace abuse. I never talked to her about what specifically they did, though, and this was a call center that I have to assume was far more abusive than a Google engineer experiences.

Of course, I myself get disability payments from the VA due to permanent injuries sustained while in the Army, but that's pretty common. I left that job with ten screws in my spine, which is a little easier to quantify than "I felt stressed." Ironically enough, in spite of having a few diagnosed and treated brain injuries, including one in which I wasn't allowed to drive for two months, I got nothing for that. I'm reasonably sure my memory is worse than it was, but it's nearly impossible to prove that. Before and after tests are no longer possible if you didn't do a before test, and who regularly takes any sort of test of cognitive function before getting injured?
Really? Sometimes I'd agree, but this post made me think positively of this person.

What they described they were doing and tried to do seems like everything I'd expect of a good employee. It's too bad they didn't get the support they needed for it to work and suffered psychologically from it.

They seemed to care deeply about the work and have really high standards for what they were building. They explained that they tried to rally people, bring light to the issue, they stepped in to try and unblock the project, get people moving along, resolve disagreements, etc.

At the same time, all the complaints I've seen before on poorly run organizations. Projects are stalled, spinning their wheels, entralled in forever discussions, decisions are not being made, and when you try to escalate to get things unblocked, the leadership doesn't do anything about it, they just go well I want you all to figure it out ok. And things go right back to being the same dysfunctional. Eventually it hemorrhages talent, people start to leave, quit, switch to something else, and only then does something gets done because now it reflects in actual metrics.

You have to have worked in better run organizations to maybe recognize how badly run that is.

The role of an exec is to maximize output from the resources and assets under their control. Knowing how to best leverage talent, knowing how to properly delegate authority to key people, intervene when there's contention that goes unresolved for too long, allocate additional resources when output suffers from the lack of it, and make decisions about what to invest in, who to invest in, and what/who gets the cut and won't be invested in. All these things are what good management should do.

I think sometimes we talk too much about being a good engineer, but we don't have enough conversation about being a good exec, trust me, like how half of all engineers are below average, and some are outright terrible, this is true of execs as well, except execs seem to get away with it for even longer normally, because there's so many people under them to pick up their slack.
I pulled the same vibe from this.

My attitude here is if you don’t like your job and its making you unhealthy AND you work in an industry where just having been at Google on your resume will get you hired just about anywhere else…you should just leave. Why sacrifice health over that?

We had a sales woman fall for it. The email said from our CEO that said he was at a conference and needed her to go out and buy 10 $100 Visa gift cards and send him the numbers bc he wanted to use them as giveaways.

The issue is that our CEO actually WAS at a conference on that day!

She actually went to the closest CVS and bought them and thankfully mentioned something about it to me when she got back. I paused for a moment and then was like wait a second how did you hear about this request? Email only? so I called our CEO to confirm. Was able to go back to CVS and get them all refunded and the scammer got nothing.

But, that being said, I can see how people fall for it. Employee and user training and awareness are key to prevent these types of things.

I work as a billable consultant. Therefore I know to the dollar the revenue I bring in in a given year.

However, that revenue goes to support accountants, lawyers, marketing, internal tools, HR, healthcare, employer side taxes travel that’s not related to a customer, infrastructure costs, etc.

I am not saying in a perfect world I shouldn’t be making more and honestly, I probably could. But, I like having a large corporation to take care of all of the stuff I mentioned above.
> health insurance always keeps me from never going a day without being employed.

There's no way to cap the actual health care costs, but the health insurance is about 30k/year for a family of 4 on COBRA.

That is a lot or not depending on how your job is affecting your health.

I'm right now spending a year off work and leaving my job has definitely improved my life more than paying me 30k would (of course, there are other expenses too - it's like a 120k/year burn rate in the bay area).

My father ended his life from issues related to work stress (it had to do with violent naxal robberies and being personally threatened, but still no sleep for 3-4 days messes you up), so I might have a very skewed point of view on this, but the lesson was to never take the "retire and do hobbies at 60" for granted & to draw-down the financials into time spent when you can keep up with your kids on shared things.
https://sandimetz.com/blog/2016/1/20/the-wrong-abstraction

So many times I've taken code that was a mess because someone tried blindly DRY code for the sake of being DRY and rub abstractions on top of it and I've reverted the code back to being simple copypasta and its become so much more clearer and robust. Then you can look at the result and a simple abstraction may pop out which can reduce enough code duplication that the result is satisfactory (it may require a bit more boilerplate in the subclasses or whatever, but nothing likely to be brittle under future fixes).
The 1960s was in the middle of the long overlapping double political realignment between the New Deal and the mid-1990s, so the main ideological divides in the country did not line up with the divide between the major parties.

This resulted in less partisan division, but no less political division, as the large scale political violence of, particularly, the 1950s and 1960s, makes pretty clear.

All the hand-wringing over the fact that we’ve in the last couple decades returned to the normal state where salient ideological divisions actually map reasonably well to the main partisan division is...bizarre.
