Yeah, me too. Bread consumption is like a dial of 'do I really care enough to lose weight?'
Still waiting for inflation to hit my effing salary.

I know it won't, because we're entering stagflation territory and unemployment is going to go up. COVID was a massive wealth transfer from the lower and (esp) middle class to the oligarchs.
thanks. it is certainly a layered tweet.
I've encountered similar cases, though nothing that drastic, and it baffles me. There are plenty of real problems to complain about with the government, why do people go around inventing fake ones?

Oh no, it was slow--but it was slow and they were used to it. (And there were plenty of routes--probably somewhere close to a thousand at the time, in 2011?)

The problem I hadn't fully understood was a mix of the last point you suggested--tedium's just how it is--and a set of libraries built up as coping mechanisms that were intrinsically tied to the servlets process. Not really written to be able to be shimmed into a better world without dragging the whole thing there, and not enough appetite to try for it.
The cabin is a bit wider than standard a320. They advertise 18" wide seats. If they are 32" apart that's ok. It can even fit lie flat business class seats. And if it means flying direct instead of changing planes in a busy overcrowded airport and having to lose time waiting and queuing (and "saving the planet") that's pretty appealing
I think others are hinting at this, but I wanted to throw it in explicitly. Cash is a terrible hedge against inflation. It is, however, a good hedge against uncertainty, and can be shifted accordingly as time progresses. Liquidity is good when things are changing quickly.

My phone (android) doesnt let me use the fingerprint forever - every once in awhile I have to enter the passcode. And on bootup of course I have to enter the passcode. So while my passcode is quite long (and secure) the fingerprint adds a ton of convenience.

I think this is a good compromise - at worst if I were to lose the device and someone were to cut off my finger at best it would only work for a few days. But that scenario seems quite rare.

A similar article was also published in the LA Times, whose billionaire owner is friends with Musk.

Poor people who manage to accumulate some savings also face intense social pressure to give or "loan" that money to family and friends who are in more desperate circumstances (or at least claim to be). It's nice to help people out, but being too generous makes it impossible to ever get ahead.
We reduced our oil production before the invasion. Gas prices were multiplying before the invasion.

Putin did not force the reduction of our own supply. The current administration did.

The invasion may have been the consequence of the reduction of our production and amplified the "price hikes", but it wasn't the cause of the "price hikes", the initial action of reducing production and relying on foreign imports was.
> does the "putin price hike" talking point really work on anyone?

Unfortunately, yes it does. It works very well for a significant amount of the population. I've found that there is an incredible overlap in the number of people who think Putin is to blame and those still wearing masks in public.

The strong rally after the last meeting didn't even last one day...
Gold markets are manipulated like crazy. This article talks about it a bit https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/ronan-manly/gold-silver-pr...

There have been a number of cases of banks being found guilty of it as well:
- https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-metals-charges/u-s-ch...
- https://www.reuters.com/article/jp-morgan-spoofing-penalty-i...

Look up naked short selling if you want to see how this works. Essentially, futures markets allow trading gold without holding any physical gold so banks can take dollars and use that to short the price of gold. It has gotten to the point where more “paper gold” is bought and sold on futures markets than physical gold that exists in the world.
Yes And? bot was built to help come up with better hackathon ideas. I've found it to be legitimately helpful, and I think it's great for people who struggle to consider the many variables around their idea.

We built it by using GPT-3 on autocomplete, and feeding it this prompt:

In a meeting room, two people are talking about an idea they have for a new startup. The first person needs someone to validate their idea. The second person is very creative and experienced employee, so they are trying to help the first person by pointing out things that might make their idea fail. The second person guides the first person through a thought process towards a successful idea.”

Then we added examples of dialog of these two personas:

First person: “Hey, I was thinking on creating an app for the company so we could get points every month and we send those points for people we like their job.”

Second person: “How do people earn points? And what do they do with them?”

First person:“They get 25 points every month, and they could redeem rewards like caps, t-shirts and custom iPhone cases; things like that so people can feel how much they are appreciated by their team.”

Second person: “Wouldn’t that be a big cost for the company?”

With this the AI(Second person) has context and the format to ask questions the same way during the real conversations.
As far as I understand, TCO (or PTC?) gives you "structured goto", i.e something that would be a pain to write as a loop, won't either mess up the state/scope, but still achieve that "loop speed" without stressing the stack.
That overlooks the basic point, that poverty causes trauma. Budgeting is just one symptom. It causes negative life-long outcomes; there's plenty of research on this.

Not only nefarious entities, but the "social/twitter world" has shown us that people tend to be careless and at their worst behavior when anonymous.

If one could program ones code to brick the phones/computers of those they consider political enemies, and could get away with it anonymously and start a new job under a "new identity", who wouldn't be tempted?
He says he doesn't earn equity, not that he doesn't have any. He's the founder of his company, he probably has quite a bit of equity.

Garbage collection was seen as garbage by C/C++ programmers ("What's the big deal with adding a free() call? Stupid lazy people.")

As a former C++ programmer working on a large code base when/before Java was introduced, garbage collection was seen as expensive and slow, but definitely not a waste of time. I would have given my right arm to be free (pun intended) from the need to manually manage my heap across threads. Adding a free() call was never not a big deal.

Yes, but it's unnecessary rhetoric that is distasteful enough when a political candidate uses it but downright disgusting when an office holder does it. He knows better and instead of being the leader of the country, he's playing political games (to be fair, that's pretty much par for the course for all of the political class). He didn't have to use that word, he chose to use that word, because he, or his speech writers, liked the connotation.
"Largely downside unless you are an anti-government absolutist..."

Or, the public persona associated with your real identity is so visibly antisocial/radioactive that nobody would hire you if they knew who you were.
Sort of.

But the government also has a deficit. Which means it's exchanging low % notes for high % notes.
I don't think most of this is legal, at least in the United States. In the US, your employer is required to collect certain basic facts about you for tax and compliance purposes: your legal name and your legal status are the most basic ones, followed by your working location/residence (for local tax purposes). An employer who fails to collect and retain this information is effectively indistinguishable from a sweatshop owner.

On the other hand, "pseudonymously" might really just mean that the company collects that information, and doesn't forcefully disclose any of it to your coworkers. Which seems...not particularly abnormal? I've worked with over a dozen people over the years whose "official" name, residence, &c. was never disclosed to me.
Here we are discussing how to steal content and you make that comment about a developer who is giving you something for free?

Where did you get that number? Under 35 still has a reasonably high chance of success. It's really after 35 that risks go up and likelihood goes down.
The NYT hit piece referenced in the article was fairly milquetoast: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/15/technology/kraken-crypto-...

If it's accurate (big IF for NYT), there is plenty I'd personally disagree with (keeping non-work related conversations out of work IM servers seems great; being inclusive when it doesn't cost anything is a good idea), but in principle I support their mission-first idea.
Thank you so much for your suggestions, lajamerr. Really means a lot to me. Those are all brilliant ideas.

That's actually the direction I'm hoping to take it. Ultimately, the goal is to accelerate the advent of the pseudonymous economy. And one aspect of that involves creating the necessary tools/ecosystem for employers to accurately verify/assess pseudonymous talent. I'd thought about verifying skills but your suggestion of verifying things like "This person is authorized to work for U.S. Companies" is even more interesting to me.

Thanks again. You've really encouraged me. Your comment has made my day!
Certainly it's possible to overeat even without carbs and still gain weight. However, there is more to fat storage than just calories. Like many systems in the body, fat storage is controlled by hormones. Hormones are affected by the types of food you eat. Therefore, what you eat can also influence the amount of fat you store.
Senator Warren loves to introduce bills, as far as she is concerned that is the only goal - very little of what she proposes ever goes anywhere, likely by design.
My biggest concern is that the Fed is actually just not in the driver's seat at all right now. Raising rates is definitely the right thing to do and will at least help, but the inflationary pressures don't seem to be monetary at all. There's just no policy answers to the supply issues and if a stock market crash didn't slow down consumer demand, idk how rate cuts are going to do it. The best case is this curtails some of the wage-price spiral which is not entirely positive. Asset deflation has already happened without their help. May as well sink my savings into Luna and hope for a turnaround.
Hejlsberg is a genius.

Before C#, he designed Delphi, which was a pleasure to use. It made Pascal beautiful, which is not something many considered possible. Functionally, Delphi combined the ease-of-use of VisualBASIC with the power of C++, with an elegance unparalleled in any environment before.

He did Turbo Pascal. It's hard to overstate how much of a revolution that was. Compile-wait-wait-wait-run turned into run.

Now, he's doing TypeScript.

I'm not sure it's really fair to compare anyone to Hejlsberg.

"Sure, your kid won a Nobel Prize for his research, but Einstein did relativity...." "Sure, your business hit a billion dollars, but it's no Apple...."

To be fair, the government is complicit in this food pyramid scheme.

People are told time and again that it's healthcare system. Yeah, it's not health / customer focused. But all the more reason to do a decent job at avoiding that system. Instead, the status quo diet + lifestyle persists. (Political) leaders can't risk the push back trying to change the narrative.

Hence my subsequent tweets taking that into consideration. I was arguing to the strongest position of their tweet with regards to the no-equity/no-salary thing.

People often use "not earn equity" where the key word is "earn" and the short-cut is "additional" equity for demagogical, bull-shit, or con-manny reasons when they already had played the "no-salary" card. Don't ask me how I know.
I don’t know anyone who has had their salaries keep pace with inflation. And I presume the lack of pay rises is the cause for all the industrial action I keep hearing about.
Rewriting a recursive function into a for-loop can be mind boggling, but you often end up with more simple code.
I'm not sure incompetence on the part of the ISP really translates into a need for NAT. It's a useful workaround, to be sure, but what you need here is an ISP that handles IPv6 prefixes properly. There is no reason for the prefix delegated to a customer to change, ever. They should just assign it statically when they create the account.
No, you need to be yourself, and recognize that sometimes you need to make yourself better. Not lie about being better, but actually get better.

Yep, agreed, that's definitely very doable at L5. I just decided to be a bit conservative with my estimate by looking at levels.fyi first, because I expected someone in replies to bring it up as a counterargument.
I read something like this actually isn't the panacea it seems like in the long term because inflation reduces real growth long term, or something like that.
It is actually not only because Keto is calorie deficient, but also because it encourages ketogenic metabolism, which means that while you are calorie deficient you are more effective at burning fat. Compared with a standard calorie deficient diet, you have more stable energy levels throughout the day, because the body adapts to not getting carbs.
Shell corporation and contracts instead of employment.
Yes, Europe (and particularly eastern Europe) are better places for nuclear, because of higher latitude and (away from coasts) lower winds.

This is all just delaying the crossing point though. Nuclear fans are betting nuclear's costs fall while renewables and storage run into brick walls and stop getting cheaper. It's not clear why one should assume this, or why an investor should bet on that outcome. And it is just a financial bet; in the worst case for renewables they just come in a bit more expensive than nuclear, so it's not like the economy explodes.

It's really funny to me to hear founder-owners be telling people not to talk about politics at work while the employees usually have 1/10th to 1/100th of the shares in the company, if any at all.

Considering most wealth in tech is tied up in equity, and that founders are overwhelmingly white men, it feels oppressive.
I've been using it in prod for almost 10 years now, almost without issues. Personally I'm still a very happy customer. FWIW, it's a low-traffic app, so cost isn't an issue. I'm happy to pay Heroku a bit more for the developer ergonomics over running my own server – it has saved me a ton of time.

Luckily I was not affected by the recent "issues", since I'm not using the Github integration.
Exactly. Russia has been a distraction to all this, and it was well in play before Ukraine kicked off.
Recruitment is bizarre right now. I chat to recruiters sometimes and in the last few months have specifically asked about salaries in the UK. Essentially, “What’s the going rate for a web dev with 5 years experience?” The answers have ranged from “£45k-55k” to “£100k-130k”. The most common response seems to be “£70k-80k”. And everyone who’s answered seemed confident they know “the market rate”. Sometimes people even laugh incredulously if I tell them the ranges given by other people.

Tying in with the original post, what companies pay seems to be as much about the company’s business model and profit margin as it is about the developer.

Thinking about the dreaded “What salary are you looking for?” question, I wonder if it’s worth specifically asking the manager / recruiter about the salary range. E.g. “Other companies I’ve spoken to are offering £n-m. What’s the salary range for this position?”
valgrind is great, but be aware that valgrind runs single-threaded, which definitely changes the way multi-threaded apps behave: https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core.html#manual-cor...

In practice what this means is that cpu-bound threads can monopolize the single thread, and we've had thread starvation issues as a result in some tests. Setting the "-fair-sched" option resolved those issues, but made valgrind run even slower ...
DEI to inclusiveness is what Inquisition is to the original christianity principles. Imagine the ego of those who picked this acronym (dei=god). DEI has become identity fundamentalism at this point, a worship of body and emotions. Corps push it because it breaks bonds between employees (a careless joke may be reported to DEI apparatchiks, so better to be bland and professional). So a small company that wants to grow should watch out for DEI stuff and stop it early and firmly. A big established corp benefits more from top-down DEI policies, as those crystalize the status quo.
I think you would need monarchy (or something more tyrannical) to get that. Democracies seem reliably short-sighted. The personal responsibility of taking on debt is so thoroughly attenuated in a democracy that piling on ($90k per citizen and counting, in the US) debt is the expedient thing to do, and it's seemingly impossible to overcome the electoral price paid for trying to reject that expedient option.
This is part of the reason I like Untitled Goose Game - many of the things seem sort of mundane but they add a lot of humour to it and keep it fresh
Optimizing calls using the same syntax as regular ones risk introducing stack overflow without noticing.

function rec(x, y, z) {
if (something(z)) {
return rec(x, y, z-1);
}
return 1;
}

Now you need to add 1 to the result.

function rec(x, y, z) {
if (something(z)) {
return rec(x, y, z-1) + 1;
}
return 1;
}

Ups, now it fails with stack overflow for big z values. Hope you have good unit tests to catch this.

To avoid this problem whenever you modify a possibly recursive function in a language with transparent TCO - you have to look through the code to see if it's using TCO. This is wasted time. And it can be non-trivial if you have recursive functions calling each other and other funny stuff.

If instead the language required special syntax for TCO:

function rec(x, y, z) {
if (something(z)) {
return TAIL_CALL rec(x, y, z-1) + 1;
}
return 1;
}

This would be a compilation error cause it's not a tail call contrary to the declaration.

What is the downside to requiring special syntax?
This seems rife for catastrophic unintended consequences. Even given this one absurdly narrow use case:

> When abortion is illegal, researching reproductive health care online, updating a period-tracking app, or bringing a phone to the doctor’s office all could be used to track and prosecute women across the U.S. It amounts to uterus surveillance

The pro-abortion folks could use this to identify where abortion services are in the highest demand, so limiting access to the data isn't an unmitigated good (assuming you think abortions are "good").

Moreover, healthcare researchers buy a whole bunch of data from these brokerages--how are we supposed to advance healthcare research without access to good data (at least it seems from reading this article that this bill would prohibit this sort of access)? I'm all for making it harder for advertisers to track people, but I'm not willing to trade off prospective treatments and cures for serious diseases. There has to be a more selective approach.

It's a learning experience! Don't feel bad, now you've learned a good lesson for future interviews.

> That said I find it crazy how big the difference is on these two conditions and am struggling a bit now to justify why I would want to go back to being an employee

As an American, I gotta say it seems like the benefits of being a full-time employee in Europe only really make sense if you plan on slacking off. It's very difficult to fire you as a full-time employee (at least in France which I am somewhat familiar with). You can skate by for years doing very little work if you want. If you are hard-working and want to deliver high quality work, I think you might be better off staying as a contractor. Or trying to get a job & a visa to come work in the US if you have any opportunities to.
I'm sure the lower middle class people who lose their job will appreciate it.
Perhaps they mean the _debate_ over these subjects (fake news etc.) is exacerbated by the existence of a centralized authority to appeal to to remove it. Before Facebook I don't recall much debate over removing something from the broader, decentralized internet.
