I love my home office. It's quite, comfortable, has a view of my backyard, and now that spring is here there's usually at least one cat in my windowsill. Nobody's going to give me shit if I decide to get up and stretch, or crank out a set of pushups, crunches, or bodyweight squats. I can prep lunch ahead of time with my pressure cooker and have a fresh, healthy lunch every day instead of having to settle for sandwiches, microwaved leftovers, or overpriced fast "food". Oh, and I can step outside and talk to my neighbors.

Now, let me see if I've got this straight. I should give all that up and go back to driving 30-60 minutes (depending on traffic) to a building that's too cold in winter and too hot in summer so that I can spend half the workday on Zoom/Skype/Teams calls while sharing a desk in a half-height cubicle with another developer who's trying to do the same in an open-plan space full of dozens of other people all making remote calls of their own? Oh, and risk a breakthrough COVID-19 infection because I can't be sure if the people not wearing masks are vaccinated and have their boosters?

I don't get paid enough for that shit.

You probably don't get paid enough for that shit, either.

Jamie Dimon and his cronies might get paid enough for that shit, and I wish them the joy of it, but they can damn well count me out.
1. evolution doesn't even try to explain origin of life, it's completely independent matter.

2. your math seems sketchy but even assuming it's fine - there's no requirement for life to search for these proteins on Earth. Even if it had 10^-20 chance of happening on any given planet - there's more planets than 10^20. It's not surprising that SOMEONE wins the lottery, it's only surprising if a predetermined person wins it.
Doing things in parallel contributes to this problem a lot.

Daily standups, plus a meeting or two per week seems doable. But if you work on two or three things in parallel, and you need to multiply the number of meetings by two or three, suddenly it feels like you spend more time on meetings than being able to focus on your work.
I was wondering that as well: what a drop-in replacement would look like from 2022. I would like to think it would be the size of an Altoid tin.
HATEOAS is a lot better when you can make the browser super smart by putting making it execute... the application.
I can see this argument but at the same time Dockerfiles for my preferred framework (Phoenix) are more or less muscle memory for me at this point. The better question is: why don't frameworks come with a Dockerfile by default? The effort:reward ratio on containerization is huge, it gives you your app in a runnable, dependency-free format that you can build reliably and deploy on an extremely diverse set of platforms.

It sounds like the fundamental problem with it is that it was founded on the idea that scarcity necessarily generates demand.
None, because techies won't unionize.
I'm skeptical of genetic theories constructed solely by a white supremacist [1]. A stopped clock is still right twice a day, but there's kind of a pattern of men who say "white people are superior and Jews are bad" also proposing other unfounded ideas in the name of "science".

Also he tried to get Jeffrey Epstein to fund this book. Neat.

> I have no single idea what is FizzBuzz, and if someone asks me to do it an interview, I would fail miserably.

If you know what you are doing even in the slightest, you won't fail.

No one will put you next to the whiteboard and say "do FizzBuzz", expecting you to know exactly what it is and what to do. They will say "write a function that takes in a positive integer as an argument, and then counts from 0 up to that integer. Every time a count is divisible by 3, print out 'Fizz'. Every time a count is divisible by 5, print 'Buzz'. If a count is divisible by both 3 and 5, print 'FizzBuzz'".

I cannot imagine someone who wrote all the complex things you did, but is not able to write a toy counter function like that.
An issue is that a lot of mediocre people got into decently ranked positions and are now mediocre interviewers, too.

For all I know, you kicked off 100 sock puppet accounts saying stuff like "Is this a buy signal?" "This looks like a sell signal. Thoughts?" about various companies at random, then picked a winner afterward and use it as proof that you're an investment genius

Maybe it'd be a different story if you said "I just threw $100k (50% of my portfolio) into Cloudflare shares, since this shows that they're a whatever, poised to blah blah blah"

Building a custom server does not sound so crazy. If you ever used Websphere you would probably think the same. I was at one of those crazy Internet startups you referred to and we ran a trial of Websphere for a while. It was some of the slowest, most resource-intensive software I've ever used. By the end we all referred to it as "the pig."

I think we're probably using the word "bots" to include "human-based mass creation and use of twitter accounts". Like if I make 100 twitter accounts to promote <thing>, they count as "bots" here, even if I did it all by hand. If we're not, we should be.

Given that, I'm not sure there is much "bot augmentation" on otherwise human twitter accounts. It would be strange to do that if you were only using one account.

Nearly all laws are purely inventions designed towards a particular outcome.

That doesn’t mean they’re nonsense, or that instituting the opposite of current laws would be “just as reasonable”.

The system as it is does work. Could it work better? Sure. Perhaps we could actually strictly enforce immigration laws, and the result would be ideal.

You can argue against the idea of community membership being predicated on more than just showing up, but simply calling it “xenophobia” isn’t an argument.

Furthermore, when one side is doing everything possible to undermine the established laws, it’s not convincing when they point out the resulting reduced efficacy as if it were an inherent flaw instead of their own doing.

I totally agree. In my country as soon as some natural reserves got paved roads, they also got restaurants and coffee shops, souvenir shops and an annoying crowd that could be equally entertained by having a coffee at the outskirts of their hometown, but instead they are now polluting a scenic landscape with their presence.
This. I'm surprised it's not talked about more.

My argument has not changed from my first comment. These were the last two sentences from it:

>If I start making pizzas in India and because mozzarella is hard to find here, just use processed cheese instead and may be put more chilis on top to suit Indian tastes, does the dish stop being pizza?

>There has to be some reasonable limitation on how little you modify something before you get to call it a new "invention".

How have I moved the goal post?

In fact I never called CTM and Butter Chicken the same dish - I called them virtually identical and too similar etc, it was a strawman you created and you then proceeded to say that I was moving the goal post when I reiterated my original position.

Please try to keep the quality of discussion higher. If I wanted to have endless discussions with argumentative people who have no ability to read, I would go on reddit.
"In my day, earning your Webelos was quite a life achievement and meant a great deal, for being so young."

I feel like the recognition of even eagle scout is not the same today. With lower participation rates, many people don't know what the process entails. To be honest, I don't know what the requirements were for the arrow of light, and that's something I earned (using tools, power tools, camping, etc, but not sure of the specifics).

I've even taken things like eagle scout and college club president (more demanding since you're unsupervised dealing with budgets, personnel, and grants) off my resume since nobody cares about or understands those, especially not in IT.
Bond trading is super complicated and unintuitive the way it's normally described

You're right though IMO, but people should be careful about trading on that knowledge until they're up to speed on how bond trading works
It's being done to win bidding wars, because it's much less risky for a seller to choose a cash offer over financing.
Thanks to the recent proliferation of e-bikes, driven by battery tech improvements, many more people are looking at bikes as viable urban transportation. People who are relatively unfit, and would never commute on a human-powered bike, day in and day out, are zooming around town on these things, logging many miles. Maintenance issues are going to matter.

People are not going to fork up two thousand dollars just to have the thing sitting in storage; they are looking to it to solve a transportation problem.

Only the spoke-changing maintenance issue applies to hard-core DIY people; the remainder of the point is that the electric transmission likely requires next to zero maintenance. So for the non-DIY people who don't maintain bicycle drive trains themselves, this still means less downtime and expense.

If a spoke is easier to change, that could make a difference to your bike shop visit: "sure, I have some time to do that within the next one to two hours" versus "I can have that ready by noon tomorrow".
Saying "women are bad at X" isn't necessarily sexual harassment; It's just misogyny. But if you said it to a woman, it would be sexual harassment.
I have an Apple Watch. And I've been using it to remind me to get off my ass, exercise, track workouts, sleep cycles, etc. But I haven't let myself become a slave to my watch. If I take it off and charge it Friday night and don't put it back on until Monday, I'm perfectly OK with that.

I might not be meeting "all my goals", but I'm doing what works for me. My devices work for me, not the other way around. If they cease to work for me, I'll discard them. Julia allowed herself to become her technology's servant instead of mastering it and binding it into her service. That's on her.

Don't call up what you can't put down.

Don't use technology you don't understand and can't control.
What if we could get some nanobots to attach themselves to the surface of the bacteria, inject their DNA into them, and hijack the bacteria's reproductive apparatus to create hundreds of new nanobots, which then burst out of the cell and attack other bacteria? That would be even cooler.

Edit: I should have added that such self-replicating antibacterial "nanobots" already exist naturally in vast numbers, and are known to be effective in treating wounds. So why develop something which is probably going to be less effective?

See for example https://bacteriophages.info/en/disease/wounds/ , https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.0169... , https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/153473461983511...

I meant total energy spend for both systems. Despite the transaction volume being minuscule, crypto likely burns a similar amount of energy to the energy consumption of the global finance industry today.
It makes perfect sense. Reviewers want something to differentiate it from the iPhone and to rave about, so they choose the headphone jack.

Whereas users, and Google absolutely has the data for this, are probably mostly using bluetooh ear pods or headphones and so Google knows real users don't care.
Sure if everything works out then the seller gets the same, but there are many more reasons a financed offer will fall through versus an all-cash offer.
I mean, if that's true it just goes one step back. Then his action breaking the contract would be to express equivalence or hostility towards the transaction.

There is no minimum value for work, since some work can have negative value.

The notion of a "wage gap" is meaningless unless comparing equivalent work and productivity, so first define "work" and "productivity" in an objective way that can be applied across all occupations and scales. What's a quanta of work? IDK
To me I think the approach of Hotwire, LiveView, Django-HTMX etc. is more interesting for a Go framework, since websockets/async are baked into the Go language.

In other words, render the HTML in Go and ship the diffs to a small blob of JS running in the client over a websocket, instead of baking a whole React build into your server-side app. Much simpler toolchain this way, much easier to reason about.

I appreciate that this is a fairly different solution; one of the author’s explicit goals is that it should “Feel like using a modern JS framework”. Personally I’d rather have it “feel like I’m using Django / Rails”, except with most of the superpowers that were historically FE-framework-only.
I've opened Tesla's doors, enjoyed the suspension of the Tesla finding it comfortable, and when I adjusted my mirrors I used buttons on the steering wheel. Usually I don't have to adjust the mirrors, because the car can automatically detect that it is me who is driving and it has memorized my mirror preferences.

Why are you lying?

Why not focus on the metrics? For example... Storage space. The Tesla? It has four times the storage space. Eighty eight cubic feet to twenty two cubic feet. The person you are defending didn't bother to announce that they created a different comparative context and no wonder - even the Tesla Model 3 beats Benz across pertinent metrics like range and storage space despite costing $50,000-$80,000 less depending on configuration choices.

Look, you can like Benz eight click and get told that you need to call the dealership and that the price listed isn't the actual price UX, but don't try and tell me that they are Apple. They aren't. Tesla lets you order in three clicks. Much cleaner. They also don't expect you to adjust your mirrors with buttons. Much much cleaner.

Oh, and who was it who removed the buttons from phones again? o.O Need to correct my worldview apparently. Thought it was Apple, but according to you they are the pro-buttons companies. Please, help darkens us with your ignorance. We need to unlearn the truth lest we make a good decision and save $80k getting a better car than Mercedes can provide.
Proof of doesn't work, amirite?
>Just look in this thread, where you have people asking 'what could possibly go wrong?' Pop culture makes people think nanotech = tiny robots = grey goo destroying the world.

it would take a serious lack of imagination on my part to look at something like a custom protein and not think about the possible disastrous consequences that follow -- let alone something being described to me as a 'molecular robot', even without a lot of pop-culture influence.
It gets called on all clicks (line 1, it’s a window-level click handler), then finds the link the click target is inside (line 2), and does nothing if it wasn’t inside a link (line 9).

(You might think that it should use .closest("a[href]") instead of .closest("a"), since a:not([href]) is not a link, but in that case, link.href === "", and so it fails the line 10 is-it-eligible-for-client-side-routing test. Note also that except for the “no href attribute” case, HTMLAnchorElement#href gives a full resolved URL, so <a href=""> will produce the document base URL.)

Fundamentally, there’s no such thing as an event handler that triggers only on links—you instead have to use a global event handler that starts by checking whether it’s being triggered on a link.

The thing about Computer Science nowadays is that the machines are stupidly fast so that a lot of the algorithm stuff is redundant. Bubble sort can be good enough or isn't even required for implementation as the higher order primitives are already implemented. In a lot of ways it's why SW development nowadays is nauseatingly awful. Sprints and all that web baggage have killed the enjoyment and challenge. The only challenging SW roles I see nowadays are close to the HW.
I think the big three science questions are: how did the current universe come to be, how (and how many times) did life form, and how did the neural correlates of consciousness arise? The first of those two is interesting even if there isn't any life around to appreciate it.

I think your statements about the protein search space and the number of living organisms are kind of specious. The whole point of evolution is that it can search large spaces effectively- certainly the entire 10**70 (or whatever the size of "protein sequence" or "protein structure" space really is), hasn't been sampled, in the same way that proteins don't explicitly fold by enumerating through every single possible physical conformation.

Nothing about molecular biology proves or supports the argument of the existence of a supreme being.

As said out above the crashed cryptos were PoS, and the comment you replied to said nothing about those who lost anything. So you and the grandgrandparent are the salty ones here as kova correctly pointed out.
Absolutely not true. Sometimes you implement a lisp in it and from there whatever you want, but usually the next step is some OS.
It's surprising to me the deep contrast between this awe-inspiring deep technical wizardry, and the sometimes-incompetence of driver developers (at least the impression I get from a month spent reverse-engineering Windows drivers) and poor pay of embedded programmers (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31364360). I don't know if striving to develop this kind of deep knowledge myself (though I don't know if I'll ever learn all the skills she has today) is a useful work skill; I get the impression that deep knowledge of how to optimize compilers/compute/apps/servers at the assembly/cache level pays very well (despite being much more similar to embedded compared to web/mobile or backend development).
Those companies don't have people worshipping them like they're a collective of geniuses. Musk's companies certainly aren't any worse than those companies - but they're no better either, and he's no Messiah.
I was a relatively early Heroku employee, though still technically started _after_ the acquisition.

I've spent the much of the last 10 years hoping that I once again get to be part of such a failure. It's such a rare opportunity to work with an amazing team of talented people who set a new standard for what a great developer experience is, how simple it should be to run containerized workloads, that a robust build pipeline can actually be easy to use, setting the precedent for what a tightly integrated SaaS ecosystem/marketplace looks like, review apps, buildpacks... things that improved the lives for literally millions of developers. And even a decade later continue to set the bar for what many aspire to.

An amazing legacy to have a product that has been so relevant for so long in what is such a fast moving industry. I wish everyone got to be part of such a failure at least once in their careers. It's something I'll cherish for the rest of my days.

> However, I have no single idea what is FizzBuzz, and if someone asks me to do it an interview, I would fail miserably.

I'd suggest actually looking up what fizz buzz is before making that claim.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizz_buzz

I like it as an interview question because it gives insight into the candidate's thought process. I'm not as concerned that the resulting code works. My approach is to explain fizz buzz, hand the candidate a computer, ensure they have the tools they're comfortable with, and tell them to use whatever resources they need. Copy and pasting code from the Wiki page wouldn't be the worst that I've seen (and would be 100% acceptable to me if the candidate can explain what the code does). Write it in BF for all I care, as long as you can explain what it does and (ideally) run it.

At one job a few candidates stood out. I was running late as usual, so I popped in, realized I'd forgotten my notebook in my car, and went back to grab it. By the time I returned the candidate had literally run out of the office. One candidate wanted to impress us with his bash skills and got completely flummoxed trying to figure out how to implement the modulo operation in bash. What really stood out about the candidate we hired was that they reviewed the code and then ran it to verify the correct behavior before handing the computer back to me. They were the only candidate to do that.
> Are they just blatantly lying on their resumes?

How would anyone know? Once a candidate fails the screen, the company rejects and never gives a second thought to the candidate again.

Does any company do follow-up to see what happened in the future to rejected candidates? I've never heard of that happening.

The coding screens are just assumed to be infallible, so the candidate must have been a fraud. It's unthinkable that the screening tests themselves are wrong, because then the whole hiring process is misguided.
