In the bad old days, you would have to restart your computer as well. I remember Netscape frequently crashing back in the day and that bomb icon from Mac OS System 7.
Cue San Francisco residents who make half a million a year complaining that they are really poor because of out of control housing prices.
No, they need to be willing to give a fair wage and benefits.

I looked into scientific programming, and everyone I offered to work for if given an actual position, not an assigned seat and the perpetual threat of firing if a string of soft money grants ran out, and I got zero takers.

The science field is full of performative narcissists who think if they're trying to "cure cancer" or whatever, the lessons from psychology, behavioral economics etc simply do not apply to them.

Is that a bit reductionist? I'm not hiring because they're like me. I'm hiring for /just one/ of my foundational attributes due to cost constraints.
Thanks for clarifying, I was not aware!
There are two sides to this as well causing a feedback effect.
Young men are also pre-emptively dropping out of the pipeline. 1 male now goes to college for every female.

With record job demand, we are seeing some of the lowest male employment numbers on record.

It would be cool if we had a snapshot of the web from the time you think it was better and could pit the algorithm of today against the algorithm that was contemporary with the snapshot. It would also be interesting to take the old algorithm and apply it to the web of today.

My bet would be that each algorithm would perform best on the web of its day.
This is probably unpopular, and certainly a personal opinion; but the more time I've put into remote gigs (in-person gig going remote during COVID, then switching to a full-remote company) the more I agree.

Everyone has different life contexts, and for some people remote is the best way for them to be productive. It's also likely that it's generally a better balance between corporate demands and peoples' lives. For me; its made work worse.

The worst part is on-boarding new remote employees; especially those with less seniority in the industry. It SUCKS. It really sucks. Effective onboarding is quite fundamentally predicated on drive-by questions; and remote makes asking any drive-by question ten times less efficient, even in the most well-meaning teams, its typing, its timezones, its meetings scheduled for the next day, its screen sharing at 720p because someone doesn't know how to use Zoom, its that gut uncertainty that the "hi do you have ten minutes to meet" message from your manager could mean anything from a catch-up to a you're fired because you're blind to every nonverbal social cue anyone in-person could pick up on.

Then there's the separation of work and home. Driving sucks; undoubtably. But put that aside and just look at the space. Everyone's home is different, but I'll describe the few experiences I've had. At the start: living alone. Going from constant, positive human interaction every day to nothing but pixels on a screen. The people who will clinically admit this negatively affects their mental health are oftentimes the same people pushing for more remote work; like having their cake and eating it too, except "eating it" means "destroying your brain". Then, living with a SO who was also working remote. I actually have no idea how people manage this without a 3 bedroom house in the suburbs. Most people don't have this, and I'm sure it works for those who do. She's on meetings half the day; I'm in meetings a quarter the day; the cats are zooming around at 10 miles per hour; the dog needs to be walked; we agree "we need a bigger space" and then look at real estate prices and realize that has to mean moving to the middle of nowhere and leaving our entire lives behind (don't worry; we can still play games and chat online with our old friends; thus, we've remotified our entire lives, from work to play; the only experience we enjoy in-person anymore is shopping at the suburban walmart in the strip mall. And, of course, each other, and we'll keep telling ourselves that's enough).

I can't reconcile the facts that I worked in this industry for five years, in person, and never experienced the burn-out I am now, with the fact that everything should be better. The job is fantastic. Remote coworkers, unbelievably friendly, smart, knowledgable. No commute. Great technology. Pooping on my own toilet every day. Everything is great, most of it sucks.

Working for Tesla would suck though. "40 hours a week at least" is insane.
So basically the idea is to not have a life until you are ready to retire.

I hope you don't get diagnosed of cancer at 45 when following such a strategy.

Having said that nobody needs that insane amount of money to own a property comfortably in Europe. 80k/y is way enough.
Owning, maintaining, fueling, and insuring a car is much more expensive than walking, biking, and taking public transportation. Both in end-user costs and overall per-capita cost of transportation.

But in much of the US having your own car (one for every adult in the household) is basically a requirement to hold a job.
The vast majority of those large salaries go to taxes and housing costs, the first is mainly avoided by not having a large salary and the second can be avoided by location.

Once you're willing to gasp live somewhere where houses don't cost $1.7 million, things suddenly start to work out.
You mention options in passing, but it is to me the root of the problem: Google hates giving up control. Control means ad revenue. So we could have options that would make search extremely efficient for most users, but that would presumably be very hard to monetize in comparison. So we have no options, and everyone gets mediocre to bad results.

Since everyone I know in tech laments Google's decline into uselessness, I'm assuming this is not a sustainable strategy.

HCOL is the law of rents catching up. If your right to exist in a place can be captured, then it will eventually cost you your entire productive output.
That's not really been my experience. The number of people who knew how to deploy software at Google was much smaller than the number of people writing software there. I was certainly the only person on my team who ever dealt with the nitty gritty of running stuff in production. That seems about like the industry standard; I'd say the average software engineer in industry, inside or outside Google, considers their work done when their code is merged.

At my first job outside of Google we used something called Convox, which was very similar to running things in production at Google. You triggered a package build from your workstation (!) and then adjusted production to pick that up. Very similar to mpm packages and GCL files. (The difference is that Google had some machinery to say "while the build might have been triggered from a workstation, all this code has actually been checked in and reviewed". Convox did not have that part, so yeah, you could just edit some files and push them to production without checking them in, which wasn't great. But when you are a 4 person development team, not the end of the world by any means.)

> Workers tend to underestimate a couple of things: Their value, their ability to work out and improve a workplace situation, and often also the ability of their superiors to change perspective and collaborate on moving forward.

I have several first hand experiences where a core developer (or original inventor) would leave the company after being refused a raise or a promotion only to be replaced by two or three less efficient (but not cheaper) developers. And we are talking supposedly ration and egalitarian IT companies here.
> they don't just use GPS but also use cell tower triangulation as well as nearby wifi hotspot detection?

Presumably the TomTom phone apps do the same. Yes, they have phone apps not just stand alone devices.
Agreed, but without more information its very hard to justify it. Some can't make more due to risk aversion issues, some can't to medical issues, others just are too lazy to hustle a side job.
For the record, NewtonScript wasn’t inspired by Dylan. I did work on Dylan, but only in the early stages when it had normal Lisp syntax. The syntax inspiration for NewtonScript was Pascal.
What's a CGRA?
There's also a lot of social pressure toward lifestyle creep. My parents hassle my wife and I regularly about our lifestyle choices. In their view, as two corporate attorneys, we should be living in a $2 million house in a posh DC suburb, driving a BMW and fighting with other people to get our kids into one of the "top" DC private schools. My wife and I couldn't bring ourselves to take on that kind of mortgage payment, and opted to buy a house that was less than one-quarter that price. We're not any further from D.C. than the expensive suburb where I grew up, but many of our neighbors have non-professional jobs or lack a college degree, which drives my parents nuts. Luckily my wife comes from a modest background and thinks our 10-year old paid-off Toyota 4Runner is a great car and would never let me buy a BMW (even though I really want one lol).

It's the best financial decision we ever made. Earlier this year when my wife decided she wanted to quit her job and bootstrap a business, we didn't have to spend months planning and downsizing. We just pulled the trigger.
If you can get by in a nice part of Brooklyn on a minimum wage salary - that seems not terrible.

Do we really think there was a time in the past when a head of household worked at McDonald's with a stay at home partner, two kids, and car in the garage with a white picket fence in East Hampton?
JOLTS started then, and “job openings” is the JO in JOLTS.

So no, but there are many other indicators as well, beginning with an unemployment rate near all time lows, and wages going up rapidly. FWIW, the second tightest was February 2020
People can be wrong all the time but did she at least provide a post mortem of how her data was so off?
It's amusing to me that basic functionality like searching for a file is a $6 app on MacOS (the link within the article is https://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/) while fd-find exists (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) on all major platforms and is free, open source, and easy to use if you have eyes and can read a few basic instructions.
SEEKING WORK | Europe | Remote

I'm redirecting my career path from industrial maintenance management to
software development.

I've done, among other things, over 10 years of code maintenance and functions
extensions in a live industrial production environments.

My current preferred tool set: Python, PostgreSQL, Django, Git, Docker,
Linux. Now I prefer boring tools which allow me to concentrate on the problem at
hand.

I'm open to other tools as needed.

My most recent project is Polish law change monitoring service available at
https://unkot.pl. Access to the source code hosted on gitlab.com available on
request.

In the past I've used go (golang), cython, neural networks with feedback loops
running on CPUs, genetic programming.

Housing costs are the elephant in the living with this issue and a ton of others. It's IMHO a domestic crisis in the US. Unfortunately the people running the country are benefiting from it, including the older members of the middle and upper middle class sitting on gigantic amounts of home equity.
Thank you!

I'm considering going in the direction of full stack development, so your feature suggestions could be great ways to learn backend.
Seems like an obvious optimization though. Is that enough to grant a patent?
>why doesn't neo-liberal capitalism fix this problem?

The whole point of academia is to subsidize research before it gets to an application phase. How can a private firm compete with academia who benefits from government funding and are tax exempt? Trying to pin this problem on "capitalism" is just lazy.
> Why would you assume that self-trained developers are intrinsically interested in programming?

Great question, and I'm not sure that I would make that assumption. I try to assess the total picture of motivation. I know people work in order to get money.
come to Denmark! you can make about 60k a year as a phd student!
Aye, there's the rub. It's the same as saving. One person saving more is a good decision. _Lots_ of people saving more is a recession.

Externalities.
Yes I have. There is a problem with your goal-post moving, dodging questions and continuous denial as an attempt to escape my questions.

> You provided a link to a closed pilot project that started a month ago, technically not alive and no way for you to know if it is going great.

So "technically" it is not cancelled, scrapped or abandoned then and the project is still alive. Yes or No? Where is this 'disaster' you are speaking of since they are still launching it?

It seems you have admitted that it is still alive and going great by attempting to deny and shift the goal posts!

> A link to an announcement of starting a project in the future, so not alive and no way for you to know that it is going great.

In that link as of today, who is the partner that is using this crypto payouts product right now? Has that one been cancelled too?

> Finally you provided a link to a "project" that amounts to nothing more than a sponsorship deal.

And since then somehow they didn't use it and it was cancelled or abandoned, therefore a 'disaster' and they are not using it? My suspicions suggest that you read as far as the headline.

So not only you have just admitted that you're yet to read them, none of your responses are a refutation to my claims as you continue to dodge the fact that these projects are still alive and once again unable to give a single link to backup your own so-called claims of all of them going 'disastrously'.
Companies don't understand technology. They understand buzzwords.

There's a checkbox to put the legacy system in the cloud, with no requirement that the system's design adjust to account for modern design principles, scalability, or cost.

I know there's a huge need for product oriented folks right now.
I for one welcome our mutant hybrid mega organism sea grass overlord!
Early 30s here: focus has been the most important thing for me, and the resource that's been in the greatest decline.

I used to be able to multi-task to the point that I never really had to explicitly consider what I was doing: I could address everything, everywhere, well enough to not worry about it. I didn't have to reject incoming tasks or make a list and plan for my day, because I could meander through and come out the other side successful.

Now I am probably just as capable as I was at an earlier age, and in many areas more capable, but I need to manage my focus explicitly as a resource. I can only do so much in a day, now. This means I need to explicitly reject work which I am not able to do, make lists, and maintain a personal backlog and "actively working" section.

Make sure if you do this that you consider your personal life and obligations at least as important, if not more important than your work ones, or you can also easily tunnel vision into work tasks.

Also, with respect to your comments about programming solutions and co-workers - consider that you may have just moved up in the world, and are now solving harder problems with more experienced people.
