Blocking incoming connections by default is what I like about the current scenario.

You don't trust "cheap IoT gadgets". I would like to be able to trust any/all my devices. But I don't.

I don't trust M$/Apple/Linux - AND any associated applications people might want to use at home(kodi, plex, screencast, NAS for example) - to be 100% perfect when it comes to "deciding on its own whether to accept or reject an incoming connection".

I see "block by default" as being a layer of security - one bit of defence in depth.

Happy to drop NAT (with it's IP<->port mapping complications) for a straight IPv6 firewall though.

Then you finally meet the smartest person you've ever met and, statistically given the quality of the room and their excellence above and beyond it, ever will meet.

And you realize that person spends their life handing out wisdom which consistently just falls on deaf ears.

It's an empty journey with an unsatisfying end even if you make it to the top.

The money's great, but if you are smart enough to be constantly walking into bigger and better rooms, you should also be smart enough to realize there's diminishing returns on personal wealth but diminishing supply on personal time.

the people that got "us" into this mess are the ones who initiated a genocidal war of territorial conquest in modern times (after repeatedly lying that they would)

not coincidentally, they are also the only ones who can get "us" out of it, by withdrawing – the Ukrainian people have seen the rape, torture, and executions that result from allowing genocidal russian troops to control a single square foot of Ukrainian land, and have concluded that death is a better fate than that which awaits surrendering it

tl;dr you're going to have a hard time convincing Ukrainians to trust russia, but you are sure welcome to try

The problem is, compile-time instruction scheduling for VLIW vs an out-of-order, superscalar processor is inherently unequal because there is an information gap. At compile time you cannot see the actual dependences, and have to statically schedule for the worst case. You can do great on regular, array-based code. But VLIW can never beat OOO superscalar processors on irregular or pointer-chasing code, because there is unequal information. On those codes, the information gap can't ever be overcome, no matter what compiler technology you have. If you don't have access to the at-runtime data values (and you never will have that), there is no static schedule that can compete.

I think this description of asphalt is in error. Asphalt itself is a form of petroleum, specifically a type of pitch, which occurs in nature and is also known as bitumen. It is used as a binder for various aggregates in asphalt concrete, which is what everyone calls asphalt. I do not think that cement and lime are involved at all.
I am curious if there is a similar bijection for mapping all subsets whose size is at most k with the natural numbers? The problem of minimally representing bounded-cardinality subsets is mentioned briefly under “Open Questions”, but I was unable to find a suitable solution. My first guess would be to encode each fixed-length subset family positionally, but this encoding still has some redundancy.

It sounds like you enjoy being part of a team where there are plenty of opportunities for personal growth. And being an unchallenged lead developer constantly fixing everybody's problems doesn't provide this, and just furthers the feelings of loneliness. Is this about right? Or am I off?

What would you ultimately like to accomplish with your development? For example, is there a specific problem domain that you would love to help tackle that is maybe beyond your current capabilities?

Who would you love to work with? What might working a different team altogether look like for you?

Ultimately you have all the answers. If I were to provide any advice, it would be seeking out a career coach who can help you bring clarity on where you're at and where you want to be.

I tried to help a family member set up E-Verify for her small manufacturing company in 2019, and the government would not approve her business for E-Verify, even though they had been established for 50 years and had almost 200 employees on the payroll.

They ran just about everything in-house (including payroll) and because they didn't use a PEO, the government didn't want to deal with them, and they had to get someone in Congress to intervene on their behalf before getting the approval.

> But what steps have OP taken to start decentralizing to mitigate those risks?

You don't know they haven't already starting thinking/implementing ways to address those risks. And... it may also be that there's not enough political power to make changes substantive enough to address the systemic risk. OP mentioned 300+ developers on a team - that's a large place. There may simply not be the ability to wield enough influence to make real change to reduce this sort of risk across the board.

Documenting your own stuff, coming up with some better ways to share knowledge, pairing, etc - that can help reduce some localized risk, but you don't know that they've not done this.
Those sound like criticism anyone can level at either "extreme" side, but the clearest definition is the rejection of capitalism. Maybe /r/latestagecapitalism and /r/antiwork start to fit those the anti-capitalist mold, but they are aren't the majority.

How do people get hired at your company? Are you a major part of the process?

Frankly it sounds to me like the situation where you're being taken advantage of by the management, probably because your personality is not aggressive and you don't push in their face how much better you are than most of the other developers.

I'm betting you could earn two or three times what you're making now by moving to a more competitive environment at a company with higher standards. Maybe you don't care about the money, but it could give you the flexibility to retire early and work on whatever you enjoy.

The truth is, people have an odd tendency to value something more if it costs more. By the sound of it you should be making a lot more money than your peers, but I'm betting you're only twenty or 30% above the next developers salary.

Basically, you're undervaluing yourself.

Perhaps not tech-stack specific, but I've built my business career being the 'deep generalist'.

From a visual perspective, we often think of the Specialist as Narrow-but-Deep, and the Generalist as Wide-but-Shallow. That's the jack of all trades perhaps, but as most people build a career in reality they're building Width AND Depth.

To really excel as a Specialist, at some point you have to focus on even greater Depth, at the expense (because time is finite) of other skills. The key I see to being a good Deep Generalist is knowing when you have sufficient depth in a skill to go focus more time on building depth in others.

For my founder clients, I will never be the best accountant / web developer / digital marketer / HR guru / recruiter / sales manager they can find. But for the size they are (I work with companies from 12-100 employees) the founders don't have the bandwidth of time or budget to hire 28 different specialists in every area of the business. They themselves are responsible across everything, so they need the generalist advisor who knows enough about enough to keep them moving forward.

Over time, hire people with deeper specialties. But that doesn't negate the value of the generalist - if they're good, they continue to stay near the top of the company hierarchy where all those specialists merge for leadership, management, and direction.

I like Scott Adams's approach - in many fields you have to be in the Top 1% to stand out. Alternatively, pick 3+ complementary skills (like coding, leadership, public speaking) and get into the top 25% for those skills because the 'talent stack' will help you succeed with more likelihood than needing to be the top 1%.

I can understand that. I just can't not draw the comparison to the way we segregate sports by sex, since males are generally bigger and stronger than females, and I wonder if any POCs see stuff like this in a similar way.

> Nobody complains about "airtight enforcement" of laws against, for example, murder.

Even then, there is prosecutorial discretion. There are all kinds of edge cases, like brainwashed/abused accomplices, and the gray areas between murder, manslaughter, and self defense, or between different degrees of murder. It's easy to say all the real murders should be charged as such, but which are those? Just about any homicide could turn into a murder trial, if the prosecutor were so inclined, but not all of them should turn into a murder trial.

> it took ~0.7% of Google's processing power to encrypt and decrypt RPCs

This figure is lower than I thought. Granted, I deal a lot with memcache style workloads, where each RPC basically just does some hash table lookup/insert and a memcpy of hundreds of kilobytes. I personally see up to 5% of CPU time spent on cryptographic operations (mainly AES-NI instructions). If you aren't Google and can't afford custom silicon to do hardware offload, but you can't drop the encryption-in-transit requirement either, what would you do to improve performance?
To be fair, this is 0.5% of all processing that Google does, not just encryption / decryption.

It is not true that lower (local) demand will inevitably lower prices. For example if Costa Rica lower oil demand to almost 0 by saying only 1/1000 people could buy gas from now on it would not change the local gas price at all. If anything it could go more up as the fixed costs in infrastructure would be more expensive for each unit sold.
