I regret to inform you there are lots of people who think that women in the workforce is a bad thing. Fundamentalist evangelical Christians often view this as a negative. There was a conservative thinker on the Ezra Kline show who espoused this view just recently.
I'm a university student interested in junior part-time / internship positions. I live in Poland and would strongly prefer remote. So far, I have mostly programmed in Golang. I have written several projects, including a web crawler, a support system for radio programs at an organization I worked with, and a simple, commandline flashcards utility. I'm open to learning new technologies and languages, I'm also open to dev ops and security-related roles. My email is my hn username at gmail dot com.
Have you looked into declaring bankruptcy?

It's there to keep people from being strangled by debt. Even just the threat of filling it can probably get your medical debt renegotiated.
different colleagues, and probably decades
Yeah... how does that compare to the stock buyback program? The way the stock market is going it seems like securing more worker happiness probably would've done it. I would bet, that in the next year or so, the benefits of the stock buyback are completely lost. Whereas the effects/value of giving people $8k (your initial divide by 10 is a needless factor to make the numbers look worse) can be seen entirely by the pandemic stimulus paid to workers.
> Have "customers", not "clients"
> This is a minor semantic point, but one I've stuck with for many years. A client implies that the consultant is superior, while customer suggests that the consultant is beholden.

I see it differtly.

Customer implies the relationship is transactional.

Client implies there's an ongoing relationship. Futhermore, ideally as the consultant you an agent of the client. That is, no matter what you do what's in the best interest of your client (or your client goes elsewhere).

That said, while overused, partner is probably the best word. But it's also difficult to manifest as most "clients" what to be customers.

Agreed on these points. I would argue that this whole "war on drugs" is a misrepresentation of the situation. The system does not seem to be wanting to stop drug use - instead it seems to want to ensure that it profits of off drug use (profit can be money, it can also be the desired harm it causes to the population). I see no evidence of the system trying to end illegal drug use - in fact I see the opposite.

> Consequently, passing a function pointer (or struct of function pointers), where the pointer points to an always_inline function and the callee is always_inline results in specialization akin to template monomorphization. This works to any depth; the compiler won't be satisfied until there are no more always_inline function calls. This fortuitous development in compilers allowed me to write very nice template code in C. Libpas achieves templates in C using config structs that contain function pointers -- sometimes to always_inline functions (when we want specialization and inlining) and sometimes to out-of-line functions (when we want specialization but not inlining). Additionally, the C template style allows us to have true polymorphic functions. Lots of libpas slow paths are huge and not at all hot. We don't want that code specialized for every config. Luckily, this works just fine in C templates -- those polymorphic functions just pass around a pointer to the config they are using, and dynamically load and call things in that config, almost exactly the same way that the specialized code would do. This saves a lot of code size versus C++ templates.

I thought this was super interesting. Seems like a very nice technique for when you use function pointers in C for stuff like sort comparison. There was an earlier thread about PostgreSQL that discussed how they created multiple sort functions to avoid the overhead of a indirect function pointer call when sorting things like integers where the function call dwarfs the comparison cost. This seems like a technique that could have been used to avoid duplicating the sorting functions while still getting the benefits.
Oregon did the same, back in 2020. It hasn’t gone very well. Some key problems:

1.) Dealers have learned to take advantage of the personal use amount protection by keeping small amounts on their person and a stash nearby.

2.) Several gangs from larger West Coast cities have moved here to expand their territory. We’ve had a big uptick in shootings in the past few years, and a lot of them have been due to this. There was an inciting incident in which a prominent member was killed at a memorial service, which resulted in a back and forth retaliation war that killed a lot of people.

3.) Related to #1 and #2, these gangs have learned that the homeless community is both an ideal customer and an ideal base of operations. Dealers often set up shop in a tent in the larger encampments, or in an RV nearby. This has made the meth and fentanyl problem amongst that community much worse.

4.) It’s too early to judge, but so far it’s looking like the rate at which addicts who are offered resources to help them actually accept that help is very low.

When this issue was presented as a ballot measure, it was described as following Portugal’s model. However, our implementation is missing a key ingredient: consequences. Although Portugal did decriminalize drugs, they don’t just give people a pamphlet about where to get help and send them on their way. Instead they have a series of interventions, managed by doctors and social workers, that impose increasing penalties as a person’s addiction becomes more harmful to the community, and they don’t permit drug use in public. Lacking these features, the net effect of Oregon’s decriminalization measure has been a big increase in public drug use and not much else.
Too late for what? The fact you own land should be cherished in itself. A lot of people suffer or go through life with much less than you probably have now. You worked hard, don't diminish your accomplishments.

So I think the current/new desktop approach is MAUI, maybe, it's hard to keep track. When evaluating Microsoft/.NET stuff I think the safest approach is to ignore anything they come out with and check back in 4 years to see if it still exists. Desktop is the worst for this.

Winforms and WPF are still solid choices if you need a Windows only UI and I think Avalonia is still going and might be good, I haven't really had an opportunity to evaluate it. But I think desktop still lacks a compelling cross-platform solution post-WPF and adopting early solutions from Microsoft will cause you many headaches and much sadness.
Very normal and expected actually:

> I joined one year into the business and have been there for the last three years. I took on a lot of responsibility early on because I was excited and I learned a lot. I worked on tasks that had a direct impact on revenue.

This is usually paired with "I used to be integral to the company, now they've hired a lot more developers, PMs, and qa, I used to have a lot of impact, now I have none". Ie the early employee role is diminished as the start up grows.

This can be a good time to grow with the company by moving into a development adjacent role, like sales engineer, PM, management etc. Or take your experience and move on.
With high cost buildings in NYC it would seem companies would be happy to sell their billion dollar building and make like 2 small satellite offices closer to where the people live -- one say in eastern New Jersey and one in Brooklyn when you need to meet with clients or have big meetings or for the people who need to have a workspace away from home and save a ton of money having a large percentage of the company work from home. If it ends up being a competitive advantage, then you can imagine a wave of it happening.

I agree the Matrix UX is a little rough, but I think it's more than just Element being unpolished. Matrix is solving a hard problem: it's federated, E2E encrypted, bridged to other protocols, and designed to allow multiple clients. It's much easier to have a smooth UX in a monolithic system with no security.

While I feel like the direct cause of the current situation really is a wage shortage, I'm thinking more that the root cause of the situation is how much harder it is to build any value adding business.

The economy is becoming hyper-abstracted, and if you're not a company that can scale on a simple niche, you're pretty much screwed.

Regardless, right now it seem like the symptoms need treatment first, and the only real solution is redistributing money from those earning money from capital-gains and rent-seeking. The US seem to be designed to never do this, so we might actually need a social collapse for something to change.

The pay gap is real, and a huge reason why perfectly good software folk (and scientists, data specialists, etc.) move out of academia and into industry.

I have an industry job with good pay with a side of academic work stemming from my PhD. My industry income is literally more than 2x the salary of my academic PI, who holds a senior academic post. My pay, which is probably around the median of most HN readers, is slightly more than the top peg of the academic pay scale in my area - i.e. University senior leadership team. So I do the academic work because I love doing the academic work. I cannot afford to take a full-time academic job, although it's been offered.

I am baffled as to why academic institutions aren't failing to recruit. If they were businesses offering half the going rate, they'd get third-rate engineers, if they had any applications at all. Instead, there seems to be a long queue for academic tenure - and even for non-tenured positions. The only competitive advantage I can see is the sense of academic 'freedom' that these positions confer.

But - it's not freedom. My academic colleagues spend hours each week chasing funding, filling in grant requests, attending meetings. Their teaching load is allocated to them without choice. They're in the office 9-5 same as everyone else. Academic freedom is anything but.

I am lucky that for the research I do, mostly behind a laptop, my industry pay lets me afford the things I need to do it - cloud services, international travel, software licenses, article processing fees. I can 'do science' the way I want to without begging anyone for cash or going to grants committees. And I'm hoping this brand of 'citizen science' becomes the norm, because University-led research is going to get harder and harder the more the gap between industry and academic pay widens.

Creating a safe supply of drugs that can be prescribed by doctors is def a topic of conversation in BC politics as the ultimate solution to this problem.

I would like to think that this decriminalization change is a necessary precursor to this and that we will be moving swiftly to get Doctors on board around prescribing people the drugs they need to get them off the toxic street drugs.

I mean presumably Doctors would decline to write a prescription for a drug that is illegal to hold.
The problem with using GPT3 for a straightforward translation service is the cost of the underlying API. You would never be able to compete at scale with Deepl which generally does a great job and cost a few dollars for unlimited usage.
> everyone else working remotely is "pretend working"

Can you quote? I didn't see this in the sent emails, which is the news being discussed. He said everyone working remotely is pretending to work?

> Seriously, no one else except Tesla in the whole world ships great products?

Taking pride in ones own products is very common in companies. In any case, I don't think these qualify as insulting, if you feel insulted, I'm guessing you'll be feeling offended very often.

You cut out the "bring aggressive" part. I have already made a ton of cuts to my budget this that additional $300 would be basically removing any fun I have left.

Yes I have considered that, I ran the costs of moving out to the suburbs. But in doing so I would need to buy a car, insurance, making a parking spot in a garage depending on where. With the suburbs even going up in rent the cost just doesn't makes sense. I would not be saving money by moving out of the city. Ignoring the question on what kind of car loan I would even get with almost 60k in medical debt having over me.

Add too that the increase costs for when I do need to come into the city to go to the office, the quality of life costs for that commute.
