I am not sure what is so "un-tempered" in the original message (assuming it is not technically incorrect) and what makes Rust so special that criticism must be "tempered with gratitude".

You also don’t need to spend years in a very expensive education with tall entry barriers and taking on massive debt. But also, you had the info in doctor fakeries available and still chose software.
Those people's contracts aren't invalidated by revoking access. Those companies are basically saying you're not expected to do any more work except react to our emails until the end of whatever the notice period is. And the same thing might be less common but can definitely happen to you in Europe as well, it mostly depends on which sector/roles you work in.
Never noticed it before, nope.
No one talked about service workers. These peoples are exponentially more fcked than any of us can ever be. There is still a too large gap between employee and CEO / founder compensation in our buisiness, despite six figure salaries and yes, it is worth complaining about and fighting for.
Thanks for clarifying. It's also interesting to see the presence of ARM64 and Power architecture in top 10. Also the prominence of AMD EPYC chips.
From a customers point of view, sensitive is a fairly broad term. Every customer service agent (of which they're hopefully quite a lot) has access to sensitive information.
Some companies do it, sure, but I wouldn't call it normal or acceptable. In fact, it's kind sleezy.

Do you actually have data to back that up, or just one anecdote from a friend? Median pay for electricians is about $57k/year [1], and that's after 4 years of apprenticeship and passing the exam. That's compared to a median salary of over $100k for software devs [2]. Sure, you can make a lot of money as an electrician, HVAC person, welder, etc. if you own and run your own business, but your average tradesperson is not in that category, just like your average software developer isn't running their own dev shop.

Ocaml is absolutely playing in similar spaces as rust. I see the tradeoff there as one of runtime performance (Rust) against less syntax / dev effort (Ocaml). If you don't need your code to go fast, Ocaml is probably just fine for you to use. Hell, Jane Street famously does so and has talked in great detail on their podcast and in articles about the many strengths and tradeoffs involved here.
personally I think this is a signal that our financial system is too absurd. I strongly doubt anyone would think "this seems reasonable" if we all didn't hear stories of people winning millions on options trades. I personally know a young engineer that went all-in on tesla plays and a few years ago had taken ~100k to >6MM. The guy had never bought a single stock before he got into tesla.

What is the root of all this ridiculous finance? The stock market seems to be the most ridiculous thing that has been around so long that it's considered normal, but is our inflationary, high risk high reward economy really optimal for society? We're in a spot now where the wealth gap is staggering, yet 100% of the american billionaire classes net worth wouldn't even fund the federal government for a year.

Something seems very off about all of this and I suspect that's why we see the symptoms of otherwise intelligent people falling for money scams all the time. We've simply put way too much social energy into making finance complex and I worry that we're continuing down a wrong path by demanding more complex safeguards, insistent that we can solve the problems with policy.

I readily welcome the fact that all of this is so complex that I don't have a strong grasp on it though and with that my intuition isn't worth much, but the few people I've met that claim to have a firm grasp on our economic drivers haven't been able to make predictions worth anything noteworthy and that's worrying to me. If the most educated people you know in finances and markets are markedly under-performing compared to congress members, this complexity does not seem to be something benefiting the people it should be benefiting.
Every tier 1 support rep needs to be able to pull up at least some of my account information. Sure IT and other internal teams shouldn't have direct access, but when your business is managing other people's accounts/money a lot of people will need to have access to customer data.

Low effort to find perhaps the most knowledgeable third party and interview them.

As opposed to the WaPo article where they just talked to some dude who owns a sushi restaurant and uses sriracha.

no it doesn't need to be but hard to keep the momentum and commitment going if you are a one man team working on something on the side.

Having a team lets you validate your ideas, inspire new ideas and motivate you when you to keep the project going when there are setbacks.
> I would clearly be surprised to learn that the average Android phone sold isn't cheaper than the average iPhone sold.

I really would. In the US (where this survey is based) every two years you can get a free iPhone for switching carriers. Usually it's a year or so behind the curve. Carriers offer discounts on Android phones that lead to some being free as well, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if a huge percentage of iPhones were subsidized by carriers to get business and were free to end users.
For C++, the principle backing this is the as-if rule [0]. While compilers do optimize internal ABIs to some extend there is definitely still lots of room for improvement. I think eventually internal function boundaries and data structures should/will eventually only be hints to the optimizer just like the register and inline keywords have lost their original strict meaning - but we are not anywhere close to that yet.

You missed out the part that Wales also voted for Brexit, (52.5% to 47.5%) and that England actually voted strongly for Brexit (53.6% to 46.4%) only to have that result diluted by Scotland and Northern Ireland. It was a UK-wide vote, not an individual nation vote.
that's a very good point. something to consider when writing a comment. especially in a forum like this where it is difficult to interpret the intent of a message, or the attitude of the writer. i certainly hope that my comments aren't seen as being judgemental, but i can't be sure.
You are mixing things up: It's possible to get fired on the spot in EU as well. You'd most likely receive a generous package but it can happen.

> Not sure how a hybrid approach will work.

The hybrid approach works great. We use typed scripting languages for business logic and Rust CLI tools for "inner loops", and this balance gives us the best of both worlds.

There is an important caveat here: If you are already comfortable in Rust, then it's a fantastic tool for all sorts of things. But if you're just learning Rust, then there's a one-time cost for getting comfortable. So for a small team with zero prior Rust experience, expect to spend 2-6 weeks getting comfortable. (The learning curve is shorter if you already know about pointers and closures, and longer if it's your first low-level language.)

Your plan sounds entirely reasonable.
Yes I've seen many good uses of dashboards. That said, I totally get where are you coming from, been there as well.
So many things I have to disagree with. Not all software engineering is easy, particularly the highly paid variety. The six figure salary is diluted by spending weekends constantly having to learn new technology off the clock. Companies then expect senior engineers to mentor other engineers and give presentations of their technical challenges, debasing the value of the knowledge gained working off the clock. Manual labor jobs don’t typically require the student loans software engineers have to pay off, further offsetting the salary gains by years. Manual labor workers get to go home and be done at the end of the day and aren’t tacitly expected to be available at all hours. It may not be the worst industry but it definitely is not a fun industry to work in at a lot of companies. It has one of the worst interview cultures on earth probably and the more years I work the more I see the obvious flaws to the point where I want to leave.
Mass-scale layoffs it's almost guaranteed. When you're talking even a single percentage point of employees departing, it's more normal than you might expect.

Some companies even do it after an employee submits notice on their end (paying through the end of the term but disabling access earlier than expected, or even immediately), though this is far less common.
I still don't see what the problem is. Their customers want USDT. They buy USDT so their customers can access it. Looking around on their site, it looks like they support USD alongside USDT, so it's not like they're strongarming their customers into using USDT. Calling that shady is like calling a stock broker shady because they're the largest buyers of [insert shady/overhyped company here].
Isn't that reversing the logic? If FTX bought more USDC than USDT, the scales would've changed.

Also, the fact that FTX has never called out Tether or at least pushed for a proper audit is indicative that they are more likely to be in the scam than merely buying from them because they believe to be solid.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, I think in an industry that is rife with crime and theft of enormous sums you would indeed hope that some mature player like Coinbase restricts access to sensitive customer information to a really small part of their workforce.

Having said that, we're still talking about hundreds of people being laid off, so even with excellent access controls this step might be prudent -- e.g. even customer support staff would have access to some stuff that would be useful for social engineering, at the very least.
For certain topics you get sites that are just click farms with articles that are clearly written by bots. I guess they found the latest SEO trick and normal content cannot compete. Funny thing is that this problem got far, far worse the more Google committed to fight "misinformation". Doesn't seem to be too successful...

The URLs often contain "marketing" and similar. These are clearly sites that analyze the latest buzz and let their bots duplicate the ever same texts. As I said, pure click farming and it really hurts the internet as a whole.
There is no shortage of swe. What I see and what I have experienced first hand is that companies, especially the more hyped/small ones, pretend to be FAANG and gets very picky when interviewing. They often employ FAANG style interview.

Now, if I really have to spend that much time prepping to interview at your unprofitable company (that most likely will go under) don’t you think that I would try my best to work at faang instead ?

As matter of fact, I was rejected at plenty of these small insignificant companies, but end up having offers as L6 at FAANG.

Be humble and you will find plenty of good engineers out there.

I know tons of good swe that don’t want to interview/ work at mega FAANG, and if I was running a business I would definitely try to attract those talents by being different. Offering a “normal and reasonable” interview process along with better perks, flexibility and wfh.

Instead, they all want to run bizzilion of micro services in k8s
Matt Levine's theory (regarding Robinhood mostly, but maybe applicable) is that people were bored (no sports to watch, can't go out, no cinema, no pubs), and so they started gambling on the markets. Additionally, many people reduced their spending (can't go out, no cinema, no pubs), and many of them retained their income or even augmented it (stimulus checks).

So, discretionary income and fewer choices on what to spend it?

We already have laws for this and they work, so no need for hemming and hawing. They’re why ads for stock brokers and such have to say things like “investment carries risk” and “past performance is no indication of future returns”. It’s possible those ads are already in breach of these laws, or possibly the regulations just need to be updated to cover crypto companies.
The war is probably also a big cause of the crash...

You think the trial was cooked up by the media so they could report on it? Like, the media convinced Heard to have that article written up in the first place?

I mean, assuming the whole thing wasn't made up (and I doubt it was), I think it's an instance where the news was more than just random celebrity gossip. That case touched on some important issues about domestic violence (especially against men) and freedom of speech which I think would have made it newsworthy enough on its own. From Depp's perspective at least, it was also important to have the case play out very publicly since he was trying to use it as an opportunity to clear his name.

That said, the media sure did exploit it for all it was worth. I'm still seeing articles about it and expect there will be plenty more.
Currency is one of these aspects that are the least problematic here (many EU countries have their own currencies, and it was the same with the UK). What is more challenging is that becoming an independent country takes time, and if it happens, Scots will have their own challenges. Joining the EU will definitely possible, but I can't imagine it would be a quick process. Whereas if the UK changed their minds and decided to rejoin the EU, you could expect it could happen within 3 years or so.
Generally it's two-out-of-three-phases. You don't need 48A outlets in domestic use generally, but you totally could. The way e.g. my induction cook top is wired up is two bog-standard 250V 16A circuits, each from a different phase. Both these circuits end up at a single socket which the cooktop plugs into. Amusing side effect of this arrangement is that it's possible for the breaker to trip on half the cook top, leaving the other half perfectly usable.
You can do just as well in the trades - if you are a master (whatever the top rank is) working 80 hours a week. Right now the trades are in high enough demand that you can get that overtime, but that will change and then you are back to hoping you can even get 40 hours. In the meantime working for a boring company is a 40 hour a week job with great pay. FAANG is much higher pay, but they are also more hours per week in general (or so I'm told).
Not as true for the US as perhaps you've been led to believe.
The point is that the seond player has negotiation power whether they get a chance to make a counter-offer, or not.

The first player must try to guess what the second player will consider a fair split, otherwise they (the first player) get nothing.

In that sense the rational thing is to offer half the money, which is really the fairest possible split. Anything less risks the second player flipping the bird and watching the first player lose a fortune, at the cost of $1 to themselves (the second player, and in the case of the proposed as "rational" choice).

> Friendly, smiley, fake.

My father had to lay off a bunch of people in 2008. I am now a manager. He told me that if I am ever forced to do this to not ever do this crap to my team. Tell them that this is bullshit. Tell them that you are upset. Tell them that you haven't slept. Tell them that the are right to be mad, disappointed, and even to hate you for choosing their head to roll. Anything better than fake smiles and "I'm sure you'll land on your feet."

For me, I think I'd just quit if I was told to lay off people on my team. Maybe that's hard to do in the moment, since I'd also not want to lose my job in a major crisis, but it sounds awful.
I have a hard time believing the reaction would be any different if a bunch of older white collars would stare at young Hispanic software devs making more instead of Asian devs. Only difference being they couldn't hide their jealousy behind politics.
One problem about technology development is scaling too early.

The transistor, integrated circuit, surface mounted component robotic pick and place machine, laser and fiber optics. In the software world, countless of ideas. Open source too. Whole generations of software developers. All those were needed for the information age, not just throwing money to scale up Sage or Sabre or VAX or anything.
You can take out a loan on the house with the house as collateral. That's a tactic wealthy people use with their stocks. Also having a home equity loan is a good padding for rainy days.
I've seen situations where the product code names become so publicly popular that the company uses yet another unrelated codename to refer to them in internal conversation and code (but even those internal names still leak out anyways). A bit silly if you ask me.

It wasn't intentional by the airline pilots - it is usually classified as terrorism.
There was an article a few days ago on why you should keep your mouth shut during exit interviews. The same rationale applies for me when rejecting a candidate - some people tend to be angry and volatile when rejected, so the safest thing is to just say "we're going with someone else." I almost never give honest feedback on why.

That said, ghosting a candidate is completely uncalled for.
> I want an exchange to be neutral. I don't want them to pick and choose the products I'm allowed to trade. Outright fraud should be avoided, but if someone wants to buy a shitcoin, they should be allowed to do so.

BTC-e was the closest thing to that, and the FBI shut them down outside of their jurisdiction (RU).

To this day they were the only exchange trying to make people whole after the seizure, everyone else just exit scammed or has had their funds tied up in an asset seizure (MT gox via the Japanese Government).
There was no crypto involved, just the word.

Before Bitcoin there was 'secret stock trading program that can make you millions!', a few of the scammers literally changed the name from stock trading to crypto trading with the same scam.

For anyone reading you should definitely read up on how these romance scams and finance scams work.

The main thing they try to do is create an emotional connection, because once you're emotionally involved it actually overrides your brains 'logical' side of things, as in emotion is in a different part of the brain and you'll ignore blatant logical issues when you're essentially in love or the deep end. It's interesting to read about at least.
Add the helicopter money they gave people in many countries, that was also put straight into risky stocks or cryptocurrencies by many people. The monetary policy massively inflated asset prices and now the rug is being pulled under the retail investor's feet. Crypto is only the most obvious because the volatility is so extreme but the same happened in stocks. Almost like it was done intentionally. But who would benefit from such blatant market manipulation?

The question is: can you double the pool of people that pay in (the base of the pyramid) one more time? And for the longest time you could, but the end of the line might be reached soon. (Think about how much marketing crypto firms are throwing at people - the stadiums, commercials, ...)
Computer science and programming are two different things. Job ads always have unrealistic expectations. Learning is a lifelong journey. Boldly ride forth youngling and seek Eldorado.

>I will never understand why companies fail to give candidates constructive feedback.

Zero benefit to them with small but non-zero chance of causing them a lot of problems. Unless a lawyer looks over the feedback, all it takes is an uncharitable reading to try to spin it into an attack on a protected class.
