I once attended a presentation of a startup that was providing this service but focused on prescription drugs (with large companies as their client). Their first step in the process was to open and run a pharmacy so they could gain that perspective.
I don't think the opinion of someone with no skin in the game, who only gets their information from the news, and doesn't know much about firearms to be worth all that much.

Well said. I agree with everything you say except perhaps the focus on politicians. It's a group of people self selected for the ability to sell us a vision with only a distant, vague prospect of realizing it. On the other hand, there are non-profits with readily visible outcomes.
OTOH an application does have its own language. Someone said "When you devised an application you wrote a hundred words [(functions)] or so that discussed the application and you used those hundred words to write a one line definition to solve the application. It is not easy to find those hundred words, but they exist, they always exist."

I think for non-trivial programs it is not avoidable to have to learn first the terminology of the domain and the terminology of the program (how things were named when it was not dictated by the language of the domain).

However, hacking the syntax of the language is a whole different story, and perhaps that's where DSL-ready languages go wrong. That's ironic coming from someone that just quoted the author of a language that has no syntax to speak of, and macro powers that are sometimes compared to Lisp macros. Just use them wisely, one would say, but that kind of wisdom comes with experience.
Yep, it's indeed a trivial idea. I'd say I probably seen it mentioned in the explanation of convnets: they compress the images more and more as you go deeper in the network (i.e. they extract the features).

Compression+decompression is basically what an autoencoder does. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoencoder .
You can take it even further: stick to the defaults and mainly use command line tools.

Almost every linux box has bash, vim, and the GNU command line tools. If you can become proficient with default config cli tools, you can become proficient on almost any linux box.

Hmmm I'm not sure I think so? JavaScript is a pretty simple and compact language. Referencing object fields yes... but that's because of a uniform model of arrays and objects afforded different syntaxes. That's not really what I mean.
Same with anything around the Badlands in Albert ... 2 or 3 listed.
I think leveling systems are arguably the biggest mistake in gaming right now. By that, I specifically mean things that just power you up or down based on a single number (give or take a few numbers), which you can go up basically by just playing the game for longer. It gives the entire game a natural skew towards becoming easier over time, which, being backwards, then requires a large number of gyrations to overcome.

I don't think the solution is just to rip them out and then proceed forward. And there are still other bad designs, of course; a sibling comment cites Oblivion. (Although I would call that an example of one of the "gyrations" I refer to; having a leveling system but then trying to remove it by somehow mathematically cancelling it is just weird. Quite distinct from not starting with one in the first place.)

I would cite something like Bayonetta as a good example of what I mean, though by no means the only possibility. Especially as "RPGs" continue to move more and more in the direction of straight-up-action-game combat anyhow. You open up some weapons. You can double your health and the other resource (forget what it's called), and I'm not even sure I love that, but you can. But fights are not about whether you're level 34 and they're level 63. Difficult fights are difficult because they are difficult.

In some sense the biggest mistake in my mind is that it gives designers such an easy answer; just slap a leveling system on it. More thought would be nice.

I could also cite something like Slay the Spire. No "levels" in sight, but your character certainly becomes more powerful over time, and your play gets better. Skill acquisition, clever combinations of abilities and features, etc. So much better than just a number that goes up.
I’d be really interested in an “i used both” comparison between esxi’s free offering and proxmox for this sort of purpose. I imagine esxi might be more polished, but also more limited.

I'm sad to leave it behind every time I visit, it's my home after all, but I realized several years ago that I'm more longing more for a period (90s California was magical albeit extremely precarious) more than the geographic location itself, which as you mentioned comes with the people who run the place.

You got lucky - that was untested on non-keyboarded machines ;). There's a "run" button at the bottom intended primarily for mobile use BUT the UI is definitely not well-optimized for mobile devices yet. They are a target, certainly, but optimizing for them is well down the TODO list.

As I said before, OO is not a valid organizing principle for programs. It is just a pattern very occasionally useful. The feature is there for such occasions. It does not merit multiple paragraphs.

Destructors, by contrast, are a key tool. The same is true of other actually-powerful language features. Avoiding them makes your code less reliable and slower. You may assert some moral advantage in chopping down trees with an ax, but professionals use a chainsaw for reasons.
I’m worried about my 5 chickens and what happens if they catch it(I know they will die but like does the USDA come knocking and then burn my flock and coop to the ground?). I’ve taken down the feeders and gotten a fake owl to try to get rid of birds in the vicinity but they are still all over the place. There is not really anything more I can do but lock them up in the coop all summer but that would drive them nuts and could stress them out to the point of death anyway. This sucks.
Perl is a great language if you are a single developer. I think there is some "reverse network effect" for Perl, where people might enjoy writing in the language but nobody enjoys having to maintain Perl written by someone else. So basically you don't encourage others to use it.

Depending on where the company is located, I would say this could be likely. In certain places, an intentional termination of any sort, can result in legally mandated exit payout packages.
Yes. I've been saying for years that the largest threat to bitcoin is tokenized bitcoin.

The centralized version is called WBTC [1] and there are several less centralized versions as well, such as renBTC [2].

Once you've wrapped your bitcoin, it opens up a lot more possibilities, such as using it as collateral for loans or providing it as liquidity in DeFi. It brings actual usability to bitcoin beyond just as a store of value (hodl) or payment mechanism. Projects like Badger Finance [3] have been working for over a year now on this area.

I have a personal preference for the traditional wiki presentation of DokuWiki. Each page is a document with links to another.

TiddlyWiki's dynamic web app approach of a feed of notes spawning from one another is a harder mental model for me. Kinda feels like a desktop with index cards continuously being added which adds a lot of overhead and frankly anxiety.

It sounds like emotional support from your boss is important to you. It also sounds like your current manager isn't someone who can provide that (refusing to talk validates this). I personally think that your work place should feel psychologically safe and should enable you to thrive (very important for your long-term career success). You are probably feeling let down by this event and your wanting to quit is a fair reaction. You probably should. But I'd recommend making a plan, getting a job somewhere you'll find that emotional support, and then quitting. Also, because the market is kind of weird right now. All the best!
Next time, use an app like pushbullet that will forward your text messages to you. It's a huge security risk since if pushbullet or whatever gets hacked then the hackers would get all of your access, but for a short term utility like ensuring that you have connectivity it may be well worth it.
> I think a big mistake developers make is thinking "make code better" should be on some roadmap. You should be making code better every time you touch it. Nothing about writing a new feature says that you have to integrate it in the sloppiest way possible.

I vehemently agree.

One of my first jobs was working for a mathematician at a bank, who could code well enough to compute his mathematical ideas, but not a software engineer so hired me to do more of the coding for his team.

He would say "Jim, just get this done but don't spend time making it fancy." In other words, don't spend time refactoring or cleaning up the code, expressed in his own words.

I would say "sure" and then proceed to refactor and clean up the code as I went. It took less time than it would have to write the code "ugly" then deal with the accumulated tech debt, and I finished everything on time so he was happy.
Agreed, earning more so you can give more is the most pragmatic approach to having the largest possible positive impact. There was a really good conversation on Sam Harris's podcast about this with Sam Bankman-Fried [1].

Based on the question though, the OP's goal might either be to (1) maximize impact or (2) just earn a living while also feeling good about their company's impact. If (1) is the goal, I'd say listen to that podcast, look into effective altruism [2], and find the highest paying job you can. If (2) is the goal, I'd recommend including GoFundMe and Rivian in the list of companies to check out!

Ha I do exactly this. Windows with Linux in a VM is great.
I use vscode on debian in my startup for .NET development. My experience has been great, but I get the feeling that since WSL2/Docker are available for Windows that there aren't many people like me outside of hobbyists.

A lot of bigger companies want to use things like applocker to secure any machine inside their network, which makes linux problematic.

Go has a pretty decent standard library, you can go really far without adding a single third party library.

I have yet to find a language where cross compiling is as easy and simple as it is with Go. It's a first class feature of the language and for my use case, it makes it an obvious choice.

Yes, but they can still spread it to birds that don’t have that benefit. So does that make them a more viable disease vector than if they just dropped dead?
Did you mean Node libraries and tools that follow this https://suckless.org/philosophy?

Node/Deno/TS and anything JavaScript related are completely opposite to Suckless.

This is why so much people avoid JavaScript and it's ecosystem. Not because it is bad per se, but because the mindset and philosophy that move its ecosystem.
The point of view in Go is that the specific format is irrelevant. The design choices made by the format don't matter. What you think is "nice" code and what someone else thinks is "nice" code doesn't matter. The benefit of formatting has nothing to do with making the code conform to anyone's definition of "nice". It's just about having a format that's passable and that is then applied uniformly.
I didn't mean to be so absolutist. Excel is often enough. I've worked with companies who are trying to ditch their Excel sheets but, in my experience, it's often a super hard problem to solve, especially if you are trying to generalize to sell it to multiple parties.

> it predates DNS or even IPv4

I don't know about IPv4... IPv4 was RFC 760 (Jan 1980) while SMTP was RFC 821 (Aug 1982). DNS was certainly later, RFC 1034 (Nov 1987).
I don’t see how acknowledging the truth is somehow supposed to support a bank argument. I would happily ban these fees until the industry adapted to a new normal.

That said, don’t let your views blind you to the truth. Unscrupulous actors will often drive an industry into predatory practices, it’s correctable but only when people understand the dynamics involved.
You too? HAH, now I'm really curious.

Not that you asked but, for transient clicks and pops, a Compressed Sensing (badass new (past 2 decades) applied mathematics) based approach I expect would far outperform anything previous. (Previous approaches used higher order statistics, linear prediction, median cut"ish" things, filtering IIRC.)

I wonder if any of the commercial shops have made CS based impulse noise removal based plugins. I wonder if anyone would pay $$$ for it.
I also feel like VS is getting worse. I run into far more errors and issues now than I did several years ago. My theory is the success of Azure and the end of the era of "Developers developers developers" has caused Microsoft to place less of their best engineers on the tooling team.
Oil companies definitely don't belong. But also Tesla probably doesn't either.

You're probably just making a joke but in case others are wondering, your SUV is almost certainly not powered by liquified T-Rexs. Instead, most hydrocarbons we have today come from plants ie plankton-like creatures. Also, the position of hydrocarbons is not dictated by the population at that point in time on the earth's surface. Instead, think of the earth like a giant porous sponge with the occasional impervious rock formation that traps the liquid. The hydrocarbons accumulate in those traps over time and lead to the reservoirs we now tap for oil.
I have an ID4 and I've had a great experience with it. The car only thinks you're leaving if your butt is off the seat and the driver side door is open. With the climate controls, there is a 'smart climate' and a 'classic climate' view. The 'smart climate' options aren't as bad as you suggest either.

My only real gripes with it are the laggy infotainment system and meh mobile app.
TypeScript, Kotlin, Scala, Haskell, Rust, Swift, modern Java, C#, F#, OCaml, Reason, Elm, PureScript,... it's a long list.

I'd also count Python with MyPy, but having a mostly untyped ecosystem means you can't take much advantage of it.
Still makes a mockery of the concept of innocent until proven guilty and double jeopardy. 3/4 of the jury believes you're not guilty and the prosecutor still gets to take another shot at a conviction.

It should be reversed. If the prosecutor can't get at least 10/12 guilty votes on the first try, you should be acquitted.
Tesla has a lot of issues. It's not a stretch to see their material risks (lithium, cobalt, nickel, plastic aka oil) as being pretty bad. The source of the electric powering the car matters too. As does the fact that they still use oil based or CO2 emitting roadways and the effects of the brake pads and tires.

They certainly have problems. Tesla and oil companies have material and process (environmental) risks. Tesla also has the risks associated with poor societal and governance stances.

So back to my original comment - you'll have to look into the companies themselves because their "benefits" are debatable, including Tesla's.

I am very confident this is not true. I am certain I know Broadcom’s corporate strategy and views on the semi cycle better than any financial journalist.
Agree, yeah. Despite the lead of "more than a third of the world’s population lives in drylands", I would see this as being much more applicable to transient usage than long term. A few litres of lukewarm water per day would be perfect for backcountry camping, or topping up the reservoir in an RV, or something. But for anywhere even remotely permanent it almost certainly makes more sense to dig a well.

Another source of friction with Tiddlywiki is the interface. To create a tiddler, you need to enter a title, then tab to the tag name field, then tab to the content field, enter your content, and then there's no way to tab to the "Add" button; you have to pick up the mouse and click it. If you're using tags or categories, there's even more friction.

I love it conceptually, but if you're entering short discrete information (e.g., a number of todos, each as their own tiddler), it's more work than it needs to be.
