I spilled half a pint of beer into my kinesis advantage (cherry brown switches) and it worked fine after opening it and giving it a wipe down and letting it dry. Switches failing just isn't on my radar. I'd be more worried about the extra failure mode of the sockets needed for swappable switches. If it comes down to it I can solder in a new switch.

My entry-level base salary, admittedly at a FAANG, ignoring equity/bonus, was $127k real.

> However if you are not in a tech city, and don't want to move to one, then online is great. Here is what you can do.

I live 40 miles north of Wichita Kansas USA. There's no tech - there's no city even.

Here's what I did: I got to know a recruiter in Wichita. Turns out she's a rock star - one of the leaders in the region at recruting tech. Met a guy on an flight from Atlanta to Wichita. We got together and talked geek a few times. The three of us started a Meetup in Wichita where we talk geek every other month or so. We generally get 15-50 folks depending on the time of year and topic. Last meeting I got two off handed job offers (I'm not looking). I've gotten a previous position the same way.

Tech is everywhere. The typical attendee to our Meetup is a developer or analyst at a regional bank, an airplane manufacturer, or farm credit agency. Nothing fancy, but great jobs for this area.

I'm not a very social person, but I do like to talk geek. There are lots of folks like me everywhere. Folks want to learn. Get together and teach each other.
I watched a friend have to deal with this. There’s just so much to sort through or get rid of.

My grandfather left dozens of model airplanes behind. No one in the family flies them. Most of the people he used to fly them with died before he did. Fortunately, my grandmother is still alive and we’ve found people who would appreciate the planes.

WinMX was release 21 years ago, and Britney Spears definitely didn’t break out until around 1999 around the same time as Napster. The difference between 1994 and 1999 is quite a bit in show biz/pop culture and an absolutely huge difference in public uptake of the internet.
Rust's traits actually reflect semantics, which is what you want, whereas C++ concepts are duck typing and you just get lots of wishful thinking when (too often) that's not enough.

Take a look at Eq for example. Eq is a trait that inherits from PartialEq but has no actual syntactic requirements. It reflects equivalence. Choosing to implement Eq is a claim about equivalence for your type. It has semantics. With C++ concepts you'd have to invent a marker for that purpose, and so C++ does not have any equivalent to Eq. Instead it offers std::equality_comparable which models equivalence but only deliver syntactic matching on the != and == operators like Rust's PartialEq.

Note sure what recession you are referring to?

Unemployment is 3.6%.

Nasdaq was overvalued - QQQ went from 100 in 2016 to 400 in 2021. No reason not to return to 150-200.

The only concerning events is that the capital that left the market would never return since it was the baby boomer last big capital injection before they retire en mass and remove thier 401K from stocks.

On the other hand, there is a lot of job openings due to this retirement.

High inflation is actually a good thing, as it is result from wage increases, which means that there are shortages in the job market.

Overall, this looks to me like the wage arbitrage is being removed from the market.
To add to this, evolution typically happens _all at once_. Change does take a very long time but most of that time is spent in statis: everything has found its niche and lives in an equilibrium.

Once the environment changes (such as by introducing a whole new kind of food) species can very quickly adjust to the new reality.

I've been wondering this as well. In IPFS isn't -everything- cross-domain by definition? Each publication of a document would have a new identity and I'm not sure how you'd shoehorn that into something like CORS. You'd probably need something interactive, akin to OSCP vs CRLs.
The paper specifically details several situations in which humans are the ones making the decision, and the result is the same. There is no bounded-time decision procedure that can take continuous (i.e. physical) inputs and render a discrete decision.

> Really? Especially in a market like this, I would have assumed more hiring managers would understand.

Depends entirely on the job and company.

If someone is hiring average developers for average or below-average pay at a no-name company that gets 1 organic resume submission per week, they're going to overlook it and bring the person in.

If someone is hiring top developers at a hot tech company with high pay that attracts 1000s of impeccable resume submissions per week, they can't interview everyone. They might only screen 10% of resumes because that's all they can handle. At this level, competition is so fierce and the applicants are so strong that you have to look for any reason to drop someone from that 10% who get through. Having a short job followed by a resume gap could be enough of a signal to get you bumped in favor of any number of perfect resumes.

Adjust expectations accordingly for companies between the two extremes.

> What do you think about new grads having to switch not long after because of bad work environment, bait-and-switch, etc? I hope such a negative outlook is not that prevalent.

I think everybody gets a mulligan and I personally wouldn't hold it against a junior. A single data point isn't a trend.

However, I would still question the candidate thoroughly about it. Unfortunately, there are many people who leave otherwise decent jobs because their expectations are too far detached from reality. When someone's definition of a "bad work environment" is being expected to participate in code review (true story), the problem wasn't with their employer. Some basic questioning can usually get to the bottom of this, but it's more common than you might expect.
… no, not like this they're not. Most quarters have positive GDP, most quarters we've not got half a recession under the belt already, and the way this quarter is going, it is very likely we are already in one and are just waiting for the numbers to come in.
> Technology is popularly misunderstood as "gadgets and lab science". But the root of the word is shared with technique.

Yes, and as you say, one is as good as another (given the same ROI). I remind myself of that by using the word 'tech' and, inwardly at least, repeating 'tools and technique'.

This is why it is so important for society (at large, i.e. across earth) to invest in science. Knowledge is, in itself, valuable to have.

I really don't like plastic. I prefer to avoid it for any purchase where there is a practical non-plastic alternative. But, I have to say, if we had a bacteria that could rapidly digest most plastics, and spread "in the wild", it could have some catastrophic effects on our world's economy. Imagine everything in the public infrastructure that uses plastic, rotting within a year's time. It could be apocalyptic.
I love the idea of having boxes labeled to throw away, because those things aren’t useful to anyone but yourself.

I'm actually surprised that there isn't more direct action against overly aggressive drivers, "rolling coal", and the like, given how passionate cyclists often are about being cyclists. It's amazing how so many of them seem to take gratuitous threats to life and limb in stride. Perhaps that's survivorship bias, inasmuch as the people who don't have this reaction stop cycling instead (at least on roads).
I don't think the sky is falling either. But the weather is certainly changing, and you better get that raincoat out of the closet and make sure there are no holes in it.
When FiL passed away there were multiple buildings on their 50 acres full of stuff. Both he and MiL were only children. Everything over 200 yrs had flowed to them.

“Priceless heirlooms” weren’t of interest to anyone. Auctions led to junk dealers. There is a hopelessness in realizing that lifetimes of activity were of little value, that nobody even knew what many objects were.

While I agree with you, the answer is that some people don't want to manage the DB. This means patching the OS, patching the database, and making backups (with reasonable disaster recovery). While you could do all of this, many ask, "How much of my time will be spent DevOp'ing (like learning how to do it and then executing)?" If the number of hours is over some threshold, they might prefer to pay someone to do all of that.

Obviously he was referring to the existence of conveniences of the homes (dishwashers, laundry machines), not how they were built or the finishings. There have been very few big changes in how homes are built since that time.

What do you mean? All the inputs are continuous: light sensors, LIDAR, infra-red, inputs from mechanical sensors from the driver. Sure, the sensor package's hardware/firmware/software converts these to discrete inputs before it reaches the Driving AI, but all of the Buridan's Paradox results still apply to those sensor packages. They can't perform their tasks in a finite amount of time -- either they will sometimes fail to make a decision at all, or they will render an invalid output (e.g. rather than outputting voltage corresponding to logical 0 or 1, they will go into a meta-stable or astable output mode that is not a valid output voltage).

I think an aspect is still true though. Many companies have been operating with an extreme growth mindset for a long time. Trying to achieve more than 40% yoy growth, getting investors to bankroll huge salaries and hiring pushes, etc. Many startups operate like this and leave sustainable profits as a problem for the future. (E.g. spend way more than revenue on hiring now and hope to be profitable later once you have more users.) That strategy relies on cash from investors.

I think these types of companies are driving the big salaries people see, which is impacting the larger hiring market. I can talk to my employer about a raise because my peers get hired at a higher rate too.

If companies adjust back into a more sustainable growth strategy, it’s likely salaries won’t continue to be as large, just because the hiring market stops driving big wage increases. And if investors aren’t willing to bankroll as much spending, companies will have to cut back on different costs if they aren’t profitable.

I think we’re still in a good career, especially at a stable company in a good financial position.

But the startup market is defined by initially unsustainable business strategies [1], so I think it’s fair to think some amount of instability is in the future if investors cut back.

1: by this I just mean the classic startup strategy which uses investor money to hire lots of devs and grow users, and then in X years, start monetizing to find profitability. It’s not sustainable until it becomes sustainable at the end, so there’s a lot of room for weird situations!
I understand. Perhaps it is a "clear" decision from a Vulkan perspective, but I recognize that it can be difficult, in practice, for any human.

Reminds me of a scene out of Labyrinth where a character tries to convince the protagonist to put more and more stuff on her back. She at first gives in, but then a spark illuminates in her mind and she realizes the stuff she's putting on her back will be like an anchor, not just a barnacle. So she breaks free. This was one of the most important lessons I learned when I was 6.

Engineers produce way more value than they’re paid. That will be even more true during a recession if companies freeze hiring.

(Although one could make a queuing theory argument that a hiring freeze could reduce efficiency of existing engineers if it results in poor division of labor and too much context switching)
That was true in the past, when books were, if the GGP is accurate, more common.
The more I've worked with sqlite, the more I've been impressed. Spins up as a file that can be put in source control. Supports SQL - all the basic stuff one might try to pull off with a small MySQL instance. The main gotcha is you get a single, local node. For most personal workloads, it covers the basics really well.
React is neither good nor bad, it is just another framework. Usually developers are keen to rewrite things in their current flavor where they are comfortable. You need to be detailed with them and understand what react is going to solve, because while it might solve some things it will bring with it a lot of baggage and complexity too which may or may not be good for your current app.

My general rule is newly hired team members can't rewrite systems or major components within their first few months on the team. Of course it isn't an unbreakable rule, but the goal is to make them fully understand the product and clients. A lot of times people want to rewrite things cause they don't understand the problem you are solving and by rewriting the code base they can dig into the problem more. When in reality if you force them to live with the existing codebase for a bit it can help them and you feel more comfortable with a rewrite if that becomes necessary and usually it goes better too.

I've seen devs use react for landing sites that are 3-5 pages and maybe a couple of forms etc all because they didn't know how to interact with forms through javascript. Or one I loved is a new dev saw jquery in a project we had that was still operational and doing great but he freaked out wanting to rewrite a stable cash cow of a codebase cause jquery is "bad". I doubt/hope that isn't your case here, but just make sure you feel confident in the reasoning and it isn't just cause they know react and it is the hammer they use regardless.
While I’m happy to hear about good developments related with plastic waste, am I the only one worried about the implications of a plastic eating bug? We sort of depend on how he durability of plastic in our modern world. Or is this simply a non-issue?
How does that differ from 10 years ago?
Well yeah, all modern computers and software are nondeterministic state machines. The order and set of operations is nondeterministic, and its input, output and algorithm constantly mutates. As there is no function within the computer to automatically reverse its tree of operations to before it encountered a conflict, an infinite number of state changes inevitably leads to entropy, thus all running systems [with state changes] crash.

Since the computer is a state machine, and all initial state is read from disk, restarting the computer reinitializes the state machine from initial state. Rebooting resets the state machine to before state mutation entropy led to conflicts. Rebooting is state machine time travel.

We could prevent this situation by designing systems whose state and algorithms don't mutate. But that would require changing software development culture, and that's a much harder problem than rebooting.
It’s time to put kids first.

this is where i have a problem. taking away kids from their parents is not putting kids first. unless the parents are outright abusive, in which case there are already mechanisms in place. what you are suggesting is not helpful.

we do not need better individual academic performance but we need better relationships, so that people care more for each other and we can build stronger communities that can work together to improve everyones lives.

taking away children from their parents hurts the ability of those children (and of the parents too) to make friends and form trusting relationships. which in the long term hurts the very fabric of society. already individualism is very strong, and it's becoming a problem.

only as a united community can we solve our problems and build a better future.
