I think if employees feel slighted by being fired, they're fooling themselves. The best mindset is that you could be gone tomorrow. It gives you clarity and purpose. It also happens to be the truth.

Coinbase was also extremely generous with severance. 12 weeks plus two for every one year at the company, I think. I've had the experience of being let go without notice and without severance.

Devs seem a little more grizzled this time around, so I think this mindset is slowly becoming the norm. College grads seem skittish, but they always are.

People keep pointing to Armstrong's $110M house like it's some sort of injustice. If you think billionaires should exist at all, then that's one of the least-bad injustices imaginable. It's probably true that no Armstrong, no Coinbase, and 10% of Coinbase is the prize.

EDIT: It's actually 14 weeks: https://blog.coinbase.com/a-message-from-coinbase-ceo-and-co...

Three and a half months of dev salary is pretty incredible.
I can't tell if Tesla actually has all these issues or if every automaker does but the media loves "this new scary thing" stories so much that every time a Tesla burns its on national news.
Good friend of mine works for Oracle as a sales engineer. Same role for a few educational companies before that. We have nearly the same amount of experience (I took the engineering track). He's historically made about half as much. Far fewer responsibilities though.
I see they cut off access for staff before telling them. not an atypical move, but I wonder if they were actually able to revoke all access, given there's systems like Kubernetes where some auth. types can't be revoked once granted.

Bold claims like this is what make people look like idiots when things turn around.

With experience though, you can tell that people who make bold claims like this were always idiots gambling away their credibility, hoping the 50/50 lands in their favour.
Just some things I've noticed with codenames:

Previous generation likes using mythology, greek and roman specifically, as well as space (lots of overlap obviously).

So many "Cerberus", "Apollo", and "Polaris" projects.

My team tries to use pokemon, but business and management don't like it. So we end up with acronym soup instead...and then everyone complains that there are too many acronyms, so we should use names but "no fun or cute names" so round and round we go back to the greek/roman/space stuff because we like for the next CRUD service to sound like it's gd Apollo 11 levels of effort. Going to prod is the same as going to the moon right?

This is exactly the mentality I'm afraid of. The worst censors are the ones that don't realize that they're being censorious, they think they're just promoting civility. What happens when, say, someone says that disapproval of natal males competing in women's sports is a violation of civility? What happens when someone claims support for termination of a pregnancy is violation of civility? The issue is that people have widely varied - and often conflicting - ideas of "civility".
MLS also lost linear TV ratings and viewership battles a few times this season to the women's league (NWSL), which a few MLS teams also own teams in. NWSL's media deals with CBS and Twitch are worth $4.5M/year, or less than 2% this deal from Apple.

Most of those NWSL matches where MLS lost in viewership were also just preseason tournament matches for the women's league. The season hadn't even started yet.
No one chopping parts is going to spend $250 on a Milwaukee, they'll buy (or steal) the $55 dollar harbor freight version.

Lol, there's one guy complaining.

You understand that HN is an aggregator, right? This was an article by an ESPN writer on ESPN.com. His intended audience is sports fans visiting ESPN, not the HN crowd. Or are you suggesting the article should never be posted to HN at all? It got enough votes to be front-paged, so there are enough HN readers who do find it interesting, even if you personally don't.
I am half your age but I feel the same way. The sun is going to blow up one day anyway and no one really knows why we’re here in the first place. So, I’m going to enjoy my small slice of time any way I can.
Trying to tweak capitalism per se is a losing cause b/c we have no idea how to. Better to keep the current framework: corporations + unions + laws, which work and have been shaken out by previous generations. Until we see a social system that is better and is time-proven, capitalism is a good "first-order approximation" of what we want in a workplace. It is only an approximation b/c it so often creates/aggravates externalities, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful.
Sounds like a bold claim to me, let alone the "much more" part.

Ah thanks, I get it now.

What claims did you have in mind, and what great outcomes?

The wealth GINI data can be found here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_in...). What the page is based on is an excellent analysis by Credit Suisse which takes care to estimate also the largest fortunes, which in these countries are of course particularly important. As you see the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden and the US are on top.

With regard to what I've said about wages, there's a Swedish labour union (in Sweden basically who doesn't run their own company is part of a union, even managers), Unionen, which has made a list of typical wage intervals for the wages of 'systemutvecklare', a term that essentially refers to programmers. It can be found here (https://www.unionen.se/rad-och-stod/om-lon/marknadsloner/sys...).

They divide programmers into three difficulty levels, the lowest for which they suggest the wage interval 41231-54190 USD, the middle 47122-61204 USD and the highest 55319-72974 USD. This doesn't count a payroll tax called arbetsgivaravgift, which is 31.42%, so we have to multiply all these numbers by 1.3142 to get the actual pre-tax compensation:

Thus we obtain 54185-71216 USD for the lowest level, 61927-80434 USD for the middle level and 72700-95902 USD for the highest level.

They characterize levels as follows: for level 1 they write 'Analyserar och bedömer programförutsättningar, specificerar program samt programmerar. Testar och dokumenterar program' 'analyses and judges what is required for a program, specifies programs and programs. Tests and documents programs', level 2 'Medverkar i utveckling av IT-projekt eller förvaltar existerande IT-system och svarar för utveckling och förvaltning av delsystem. Leder delprojekt eller mindre projekt. 'participates in development of IT projects or maintenance of IT systems, being responsible for development and maintenance of subsystems. Leads subprojects or smaller projects' with level being ' Leder utveckling av nya eller förvaltning av existerande system ifråga om omfattande och komplicerade system, från framtagning av förstudie och kravspecifikation till att systemets tagits i drift hos användare.' 'Leads development of new or the maintainance of existing systems involving large and complex systems, from pre-studies and requirements specifications to when the system is made available to the user', so level 2 and 3 are for engineering managers, and even the top level has its top below 100 000 USD p.a.

With regard to outcomes, in my assessment we have very severe problems of several kinds, and simultaneously; and I find the view that we have great outcomes as quite strange, although some severe outcomes for individuals are avoided. A critical aspect of our current state of society is that schools are very ill-functioning. That alone is cause for great fear.
Sure. And if GDP goes negative, and if employment falls etc etc then people will start saying recession. I was just trying to answer the GPs question, not predict whether or not this is a recession!

By the way the official declaration by the U.S. bureaucracies of the onset of a recession typically lags the actual onset by a year or so.

Am I weird? I never get bored. My problem is that I don’t feel I have enough time and energy to do everything that I want to do.

I have a bunch of things I want to learn, a bunch of side projects I want to complete, a bunch of books I want to read, one or two books I want to write. Trying to do all that while still working and caring for family and doing the day to day responsibilities makes me wish for more hours in a day.

I’ve been a serial builder myself. Just building things on weekends, on holidays, every downtime available. Part of the reason is because I just like developing stuff and testing out new tech, but the other reason is because I like living an indie life.

Problem with this is that it is not sustainable, if you are coming from a somewhat wealthy / safe background you can pursue that with ease. But if you are a person with my background (little resources available) you can see that there are a lot of risks that come with that life. I know there are a lot of people that can relate to this and I also know a lot of people will be tempted to open and read this discussion.

Now I will be unapologetic in the fact that I indeed plugged my own project here but I am also presenting an opportunity to people similar to me. People who are risk takers, people with skills that believe they can start small and make a change to the world from zero. I want to help and reward those people.

If you are not one of them that’s fine but I would appreciate if you could keep your criticism more constructive less hostile.

Thanks for engaging with specific examples, I do appreciate it. I wasn't familiar with most of these except for Mike Ward and I gave them a read. It seems that Mike Ward and Gregory Elliott were acquitted while Bill Whatcott was fined $17,500 for distributing anti-homosexuality flyers, containing images of dismembered fetuses and beheaded children, at schools. Perhaps this is just a difference of opinion, but I don't feel this outcome is unreasonable and I don't see the "slippery slope" aspect of it. It's unfortunate that the stress and cost of court were caused on people who were acquitted but that strikes me as a general problem of our legal system rather than one specific to free speech laws.

I actually experienced the complete opposite. When I was sedentary and overweight sex was probably the number one thing on my mind most of the time. After I fixed my diet, lost the weight and started a regular exercise regime my libido dropped like crazy. These days I generally don't think about sex at all.
6-month US Treasuries were 0.36% APY on January 19th, 2022.

1-month US Treasuries are 1.13% APY today, June 14th, 2022.

-----------

So if you had bought a 6-month US Treasury on Jan 19th, you'd have a 1-month Treasury with .36% APY.

That's worth much much less than the current 1-month US Treasuries that are available, so you'd be forced to sell at a loss if customers requested their money back.

In it is original implementation, fork() was pretty trivial. All it did was create a new process entry in the kernel table, with all the pages and capabilities and such copied from the original process. Then mark all pages as copy-on-write, and return to the caller. Maybe not trivial, but much less complicated than loading an executable file from disk.

My understanding of Linux internals is maybe 20 years out of date, so I am legitimately curious what makes fork() so complicated these days.
If we're trying to identify the most violent areas, it makes sense to find the contiguous areas with the most crime, with a minimum populations sample size. Finding contiguous areas with higher violent crime is not cherry picking, it's just zooming in and finding actionable insights. "Cherry picking" as a concept only applies if you're playing political games.

> This is talking about violent crime rates within city limits

Depends on what exactly your company is doing? Why do you care if an applicant understand how a hash map works; and what's particular about a hash map?

I'd care more about an applicant understanding the concept of a hash; or hashing in general. If an applicant shows that he understands that a hash is a magical and fascinating mathematical concept; and it can have uses in Information/Computers, that would be more interesting (to me) than someone who memorized a hash map definition.

He can always learn about a particular application of hashing (hash map, for example). But the latter shows aptitude and capacity to learn these later on the job.

To be clear, I'm actually blaming therapists and "mental health experts".

Parents are clearly doing their best and looking for support. The "experts" are paid (in many cases) through recurring attendance and kick-backs from pharma... why would we assume they'd want to resolve the issue any other way? Even the research is often funded by pharma... Note the NIH even receives revenue (and individual scientists) from creating patents associated with drugs.

Here's something I posted in another comment, but ADHD / Depression is a "disease" is a bucket of symptoms that impair an organisms normal function.

1. I would argue that what you describe isn't impairing normal function. It's that we are attempting to make children do abnormal things (sit in a room all day and be lectured at. At the end you have an exam). Society is failing to raise children properly and expecting things that are abnormal for the human animal.

2. A disease is basically diagnosed from a bucket of symptoms. Those symptoms will have different causes. Without taking a measured approach at identifying the causes, you are likely going to see a plethora of factors. These can and do include things like hyperactivity from siting and watching TV (now they have energy and want to move). Things of that nature.

Now to compound the issue, look at how all the parents are responding. There is no way they'd consider alternatives.

One way I try to explain it to people: "We give people insulin because they have diabetes. Diabetes is the disease, but you can cure it through diet and exercise for Type 2 (it's environmental), Type 1 you cannot (it's genetic). Insulin treats the disease, but doesn't cure it".

Why are we giving all the kids medication instead of trying to have them diet and exercise (or what ever equivalent)?

Parents in this thread are taking it very personally, but in reality I'm trying to discuss ways to treat the underlying issue(s). And yes, I am saying that there are societal, family, etc expectations and management that can be employed to remove symptoms of the disease (which in effect would "cure" the disease).
> Maybe people shouldn't say evil and hateful things about anyone

Noone is debating that. The concern here is about having law enforcement step in to such delicate personal issues. It won't work the way lawmakers say it would, and the abuse potential for such laws are too high.

> Japan doesn't seem to have these problems with people culturally defecting from civility even when they disagree

I assure you that Japanese people are every bit as human as the rest of the global population, for better or for worse. If you need an example, just look into the incident that prompted this law.

TRT has its disadvantages, such as (1) you have to take it for the rest of your life, and (2) a higher risk of certain cancers. It sounds a bit scary, to be honest.
Random thought: maybe you could connect a UI component (or State, or Service call) to a function chain and types used. Then reviewing a document could include links to code changes. It would be difficult to automatically determine which code changes matter. Programmers might be able to @ttribute functions, or include checking tags/links. Anyway, documents that are not one-to-one with a code file seem like the hardest to keep up to update.
>For instance why haven't Apple just gotten the internet broadcast right to a lot of sports to build a moat around it -

It is possible that they want all or nothing rights. There are a ton of complicated rules by NHL/MLB/NFL/NBA on blackout games, parceling out different games to different broadcasters in different areas, and then of course, different broadcasters by country. All with different contract expiry dates.

I will not pay for sports until the sports organizations make it easy to find everything (within their sports org) in one place.

It does indeed. Would love to jam more about this with you
The reality is that both are important and need to exist in balance. People being punished despite following the rules because justice demands it will want a legal system. People watching the person that wronged them walk free because there isn't a rule in place forbidding what they did will want a justice system.

Also they explicitly say they recommend, "never exposing SSH to accept connections from anywhere" despite making it clear, literally the paragraph prior, that using key pair authentication is not uniquely risky in any way.

So they do exactly what every security "expert" does, and recommend the most onerous, least functional solution because it covers their asses, rather than actually think for five seconds about the specific circumstances.
