My opinion is the opposite. DISCLAIMER: I've never been a CTO or worked at a FAANG so I could be completely wrong about all of these, but it's the general impression that I get (even though I don't like it).

> The rate of churn is far far lower

For network engineers, perhaps, because the job opportunities are more stable in number as the industry has consolidated around cloud vendors for startups. It seems to me as though "DevOps" and cloud engineers have job tenures similar to software engineers.

> the knowledge is valuable for longer

...compared to the npm ecosystem, but generally speaking backend languages change about as quickly as Kubernetes, Hashicorp, and AWS offerings. A new paradigm comes along once in a while but lots of "new" knowledge could be described as application of existing concepts in a new problem domain.

> the money is better.

I don't think this is the case. Your actual value to an organization isn't always the same as your perceived value, and if you're in ops then your perceived value is less than if you write software. Writing software delivers features that drive revenue, so your contribution is tangible. Ops' contribution, on the other hand, is making sure that said things don't fall over. The best job that you can do in ops is to make things work as they should. Put more simply - writing software you can only make money, but doing ops you can only save it. Your success is also tethered to the software that runs the business insofar as if it goes down then you're on the hook to (at least help to) fix it. You're working towards a zero state instead of away from it and other teams are holding the reins.

I would further add that in a job interview when people ask "what projects you've been responsible for" it's a lot harder to explain something like an infrastructure migration or tooling deployment than it is building a feature as there's an order of less magnitude of novelty in the former than the latter. Interviewers would rather hear about how a feature that you built directly contributed to the business' bottom line than how you were able to implement TLS or put all of your secrets in Vault for the sake of compliance. There's less room for creative thinking in the ops world than in building a bespoke solution for a problem domain.

For the above reasons I'm sticking permanently with full-stack with a back-end concentration.
When I was just starting out, I had some imposter syndrome and need to prove myself, so I let other people's opinions rule my decision making. Someone always made me feel like the grass was greener in their specialty. Now that I'm older and more experienced, I see that every step of the development process is needed.

So I suspect that you already have some idea of what you would like to do, and just want some external validation and permission to follow your calling. And I would say, go for it! Whatever is in your heart to do, probably correlates with what the world needs right now.

And to be honest, I've often been hired to do one job but ended up doing another. It's really about how quickly we can learn, explore the problem space to find a solution and execute a plan. The rest is just titles IMHO.
> "0 have restrictions on unhealthy food"

We do have those restrictions. Consider the UK's Bradford Sweet Poisoning of the 1858 when the standard of putting gypsum as cheap filler in sweets instead of more expensive sugar lead to an accident of using arsenic instead, and lead to regulations on danerous behaviour by chemists and on the adulterations of foodstuffs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1858_Bradford_sweets_poisoning

Trans fats have been regulated, e.g. in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat_regulation#Canada

The UK has a sugary drink tax: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drink_tax#United_Kingdo...

And of course there are regulations on insect contamination, mould and fungal contamination, on use by dates, on permitted/banned additives and preservatives, on quality of packaging material, on preparation and handling of eggs; the most egregious "unhealthy food" that causes serious sickness and death quickly has been restricted. What's left is a lot of "compounds over a lifetime of it" kinds of things.

And, of course, public smoking bans are an unhealthy behaviour restriction, so are drug bans.

Are you implying that paid users of gmail, ie gsuite or whatever they rebranded to, get better spam and phishing protection?

I use both, and disagree. It mostly does a great job. Occasionally the spammers figure out some new tactic to get around the spam filtering and it takes google some weeks to catch up.

The ads are annoying, yes, but you still have the option to use whatever email client you want.

Calling any of this borderline extortion is extreme. Turn on email forwarding and use a different provider if you hate it that much.
For the record, natural theology is very much alive in the Catholic tradition, and it is certainly used to prove that God exists. This article seems to be focused on Evangelicals and New Atheists, which are different traditions.

That is the standardization process. The W3C won't ratify a standard that does not have draft implementations in the wild.
What? What corporation would order that? That's such a crucial, money making chemical that the EPA buried the problems with it the first time.

What are you trying to get at with this statement?
Security isn't a binary, and the vulnerabilities that are possible in a memory safe language are a subset of those possible in a memory unsafe language. We want to minimize the number of possible vulnerabilities.

Yes, the above is a bit oversimplified: most memory-safe languages have an "unsafe" escape hatch, so technically these vulnerabilities are possible; however, these escape hatches are rarely used, explicitly opted-into, and clearly demarcated in the source code such that the number of vulnerabilities in "memory safe" languages is far smaller than "memory unsafe" languages.
Covid vaccine hesitancy is a good example.
My Favorite Off-the-Shelf Data Science Repos, What Are Yours?
Here are my top off-the-shelf data science models for Marketing. Would be interested which other marketing data science tools you use?

Product Recommendation on Your Website with Metarank (https://github.com/metarank/metarank)

Metarank is a tool that helps you easily build an advanced recommendation engine for your products or content on your website. To get started you only need historical performance data of your products (e.g. number of clicks) and additional metadata like product rating, genre, ingredients or price. In a YAML file, you define the features and the model parameters (e.g. number of iterations, modeling technique). The API service integrates with Apache Flink and can be easily integrated into Kubernetes clusters.

User Journey Analysis on your Website with Retentioneering (https://github.com/retentioneering/retentioneering-tools)

Retentioneering helps you to understand the user journey on your website. Retentioneering is a Python library that allows you to easily connect your Google Analytics data (in Bigquery). You define user-id, event-type and time stamp. From this data input a comprehensive graph network is created with gains and losses as you know it from a customer journey. In addition, customer segments are created that have a similar customer journey. This reduces the complexity of a purely descriptive view of the data.

Marketing Mix Modeling with Robyn (https://github.com/facebookexperimental/Robyn)

Less third-party cookie means less attribution models. The answer to this is Marketing Mix Modeling. Marketing mix models are regression models that use statistical probability to calculate the effect size of marketing channels and other independent variables. The advantage is that business context can be modeled much more realistically. For example, Google Searches for the own brand can be integrated to determine the share of the own brand strength in the revenue. Likewise, offline advertising measures can be modeled with other metrics in this context (e.g. offline advertising with GRPs). Robyn takes into account adstock effects, ROAS calculation and multicollinarity in the marketing channels. In addition, with simple functionality, budgets can be optimized using the predictions and results from marketing tests can be integrated into the model for calibration.

Sorry that's not my understanding of the history - early compilers were more like what we'd call today template compilers - linking blocks of pre-defined machine code together.
Right, it is like we 'lost' the exact recipe for certain paints. We can create much more vibrant, durable, repeatable paints with modern chemistry, but we don't know exactly how they did it. Of course neither ancient painters nor blacksmiths were great chemists, but they had certain heuristics they used to use to create their stuff. I think it is not a case of "we can't make steel / paint / buildings as good" but rather we don't know what their process was. It's more of historical interest.
You're on HN, where we still long for the "documents with links" days of yore.
I am. We're a long way from automating all human labor out of existence, but we only have to automate some of it to trigger wage collapses, because the job market is inelastic in a way that works not in labor's favor.

The reason cappies are bitching about a "labor shortage" right now is that, during this anomalous period, inelasticity seems to be working against them (although, let's be honest, they're not hurting all that much). Is that going to trigger long-term movement in labor's favor? Probably not. Capital has political and social power, not to mention well-oiled PR machinery, and labor doesn't.

We'll still have jobs for human truckers in 2035. We might have only automated 10% of those jobs. It won't matter. A 10% cut in job availability can trigger a 50% drop in wages and working conditions. What are workers going to do, not work? It's the same thing as with gas prices. A small disruption can cause costs to spike.

If you rely on the labor market to survive, the future has literally nothing for you, unless corporate capitalism is overthrown.
It depends on your language and testing framework. In C++-land, for instance, you can't mock a third party library if they don't define virtual methods, forcing you to make a wrapper (an experience with this is what taught me this mantra)

It's not that different a situation. Chromium is open-source, but it's not community-based. If Google wants to do a rug-pull on Brave, they can do so at any time. Not as trivially as if it were closed-source, but not that difficult, either. I doubt Brave have the resources to maintain security updates, much less keep up with standards, on an abandoned browser engine codebase.
> Simple, you wipe them off when you change the heatpaste.

That doesn't work so well for BGA packages. I'd need to do some research to see if reflowing the solder would fix a low level of tin whiskers. Usually, the flux effectively increases the surface tension of the solder, causing it to form nicely around the pads and contacts. So it isn't clear to me how well the reflow will work without additional flux.
The title of this post says "conclusively invalidated by data" and I'm not sure anything is conclusive when it comes to organic food.

The evidence that the Moderna vaccine lowers the risk of death due to COVID is conclusive in the sense that a controlled, double blind study was performed and we have determined with some degree of certainty (>99.9%) that the vaccine is effective. But it's relatively easy to design an experiment.

How would you even go about designing an experiment for organic food. Giving a vaccine is binary... it was given on two occasions or it wasn't. With organic food, if there are benefits to it, they are most likely over a much longer term. So you'd need to police a participant's eating habits for years or maybe even decades to test your hypothesis. It's not a practical experiment to perform. At best we can say "there's no scientific evidence that organic food is better for you than non-organic", but that's not the same as saying "we have concluded with 99.9% certainty that organic food is no better for you than non-organic food".

Certain things just can't be tested effectively, especially things as complicated as diet. This is why dietary recommendations change so frequently. Still, not everything requires conclusive science. There's never been a controlled experiment showing that parachutes save skydivers' lives. But sometimes common sense trumps the need for scientific inquiry.

EDIT: Please don't read this as anti-science. On the contrary, science is great for answering certain questions, but has limitations for other questions.
Its true that the specs are not symmetric in ADSL. The CO (Central Office) end is different from the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) end, and two CPE devices cannot talk to each other. Among other things, the engineering work had to take into account that at the CO end a bunch of wires would come together and leak RF between each other.

G.SHDSL is more common in a 1:1 configuration (although I think the ends may still be not symmetric) because it was designed as a T1 replacement.

However some devices that could do a single line of CO were made, that can therefore talk to a CPE.

He does a great job of breaking down the code samples into chunks that are small enough to be meaningful. The longest chunk I remember seeing was around 10 lines. Each of those small blocks of code is surrounded by lots of very helpful and approachable explanatory text. The results was, at least for me, that I never felt like I was copying something I didn't understand.
Open-source referral program creator for SaaS
It's crazy that such a powerful software is free of charge and open source. Imagine how much money they could've made if it was closed source and licensed. Millions or maybe billions.

I always had a wet dream about making a big SaaS company e.g. Adobe or Oracle so I'm always amazed that people put so much effort into FOSS.

Yes, that's a lot more interesting. Firing a "code review" bot at my code where it asks me questions would be potentially interesting. Even if it sometimes asked some blindingly stupid questions, if I was not obligated to respond to them, I'd be OK with that.

The main problem with that is, GPT-3 can't do that. Personally, while I sing the praises of GPT as a technology, and I do mean it, at the same time... it's actually not a very useful primitive to build further technology on. The question "if you were to continue this text, what would you continue it with?" is hard to build much more than what you see with Copilot. Without a concept of "why are you continuing it with that?" (which, in some sense, the neural net can answer, but the answer exists in a way that humans can not understand and there is no apparent practical way to convert that into something humans can understand).

So GPT-x may yet advance and is fascinating technology, but at the same time, in a lot of ways it's just not that useful.

It reminds me of the video game world, where we have just staggeringly unbelievable graphics technology, and everything else lags behind this spike. Being visual creatures, it causes us to badly overestimate what's actually going on in there. Similarly, it's great that AI has these talkerbots, but they've made a whole lot of progress on something that gives a good appearance, but doesn't necessarily represent the state of the art anywhere else. This AI branch of tech is a huge spike ahead of everything else. But it's not clear to me this technology is anything but a dead end, in the end, because it's just so hard to use it for anything truly useful.

Seems like nicotine is fine as long as it's combusted.
There are three related terms: mocking, faking, and stubbing. They mean subtly different things, which the article points out. The author prefers the last one, and uses the middle one for complex cases, avoiding mocks altogether. But that doesn't mean he leaves third-party networking libraries run wild in unit tests. In fact, the very example he builds in the article shows how to avoid that without having to create a mock. Maybe you need to read it again?
>fueling your body to excess with a lot of nutrients
A commonly held myth about eating is that fueling the body with an excess of (micro)nutrients is healthier than fueling the body with an adequate amount of micro nutrients. It is not healthier, it is exactly the same (and then becomes toxic again in excess!)

And as you know, fueling the body with excess macronutrients is unhealthy. Indeed, eating a diet poor or absent in micronutrients is bad for you, but also quite rare.

Loans.

Nobody is going to hand out a subsidy and say here buy panels with this. It’s all about the multiplier, even home subsidies don’t 1:1 pay for panels it’s at best deduct the cost from your taxes saving 30% or whatever on the cost and often less than that.

So, that’s where the ~2c/kWh shows up it’s roughly the minimum cash on hand someone needs to get the ball rolling for loans on a grid solar project assuming a proven track record. Now hand someone with that track record 250 million free and clear and not only can they get loans but they can also attract private investors.

Of course the risk is you hand out money to projects that would happen either way and get noting for the subsidy.

'conclusively proven' is a high bar, particularly when paired with 'commonly'. If it has been conclusively proven false then why is it still commonly believed? It's pretty easy to say 'because I'm smarter than everyone else' but it's also a cop-out.

Can it be proven for every single person or living entity? Can it be proven for every location? Can it be proven for every time, every season, every year. You can show the minuscule odds that someone will win the lottery yet people do win lotteries. What can you prove?
> But future generations would thank us if we would make structures that would last for 500+ years instead of 100 years.

Reading the comments and reflecting on my experiences, I wonder if we might ever see a backlash and a resurgence of couchsurfing - not-for-profit, people wanting to help travelers.

Well yes, the code is pretty much there 1:1. However the juice is in the straight forward explanations and excellent writing.

I used the book by translating the code into my favorite programming languages and heavily played around with different approaches, which is way more time consuming but I don't think it is necessary at all.

I think if you are already a seasoned programmer you might find it even useful to just read the book and the code without doing much of coding at all. Given that you are good at understanding code without executing it.

Chasing utopian energy: How I wasted 20 years of my life
Beliefs that are invalidated by data are guaranteed to be wrong.

Beliefs not conclusively supported by data may be wrong. Some such beliefs turn out to be essential to human functioning, like "My life is not just an extended dream or hallucination," "I have the ability to choose what I do," and "It is wrong to murder other people for their possessions."

I'd say the former is more interesting than the latter.
