I think the other comment made good points about grief being a powerful feeling that may overcome norms. From my personal experience, it also depends on the relationship between the parents and the kids. I'm much closer to my kids emotionally than my parents were with me and my kids tell me things I never would have told my parents. I think I turned out ok, but I hope they turn out even better having an adult mind to help guide them through their emotions, challenges, mistakes, victories, etc.
The mirror image of this churn happened after the recovery from the dotcom bust.

During the bust, tech workers took ANY job, no matter how terrible, and held on for dear life so they didn't end up unemployed for 2 years. Finally, the market recovered, and companies experienced turnover as people finally had the opportunity to move to greener pastures.
It does, but it offers some unique advantages as well. One of them is durability maintaining state between async/await calls. That is, the process can bounce and no one notices.

The key challenge that I see is that I should focus less, in marketing, around the programming language and more on the data side.
#2 is the worst idea ever. Instead of making 20% of (soon to be ex-)employees unhappy, let's make 100% of employees unhappy.
I’ve noticed this too. There’s a certain religious fervor to it, where the only acceptable options to address a threat to the environment must involve some pain or cost. Solutions that increase abundance, or don’t require suffering, are at best suspect at worst unspeakable.
> Unless you are into wildlife and birds, there of course anything below a pro-DSLR, or maybe, maybe a pro mirroless action body and 600 mm OEM prime lenses, on a carbon fibre tripod, is clearly not enough.

DSLRs are far behind mirrorless these days for wildlife photography, especially birds in flight. The autofocus systems of the high-end mirrorless cameras are substantially better than any DSLR, and the frame rates (20-30 shots per second) allow far more chances to get a good shot.

Which doesn't mean DSLRs are useless. It just means you have to take more photos & spend more time to get the same number of "keepers", so depending on what you value (time editing vs time in the field vs money spent) you might want to get a wildlife-focused mirrorless for wildlife.
> Is this the same Riccitiello from EA?

Yup. I was at EA during his "leadership" too. Never got the axe during the couple of layoffs we went through, but had a lot of good friends who did.

His hiring style seemed to be "open the floodgates periodically and let everyone in, then cull the ones we don't like after a couple of years". Massively demoralizing.

I would never work for a company with him at the helm.

> In 2021 the Heritage Foundation removed Hong Kong as a separate entity from China from its list of freest economics of the world citing increasing interference from the Chinese government in Hong Kong's governmental system and democratic process. With this Hong Kong along with Macao lost a position they had held in the index after several decades. The head of the Heritage Foundation indicated that Hong Kong is guaranteed with more economic freedoms but however, those economic policies are still ultimately controlled by Beijing.
Truework | Software engineers [Frontend + backend] | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring frontend, backend, infrastructure, and security software engineers to help overhaul employment and income verification in the United States.

Banks and background check providers often request employment and income data from your current and former employers to approve mortgages and loans or complete pre-employment screening. Your employer likely shares important details about your employment, including your title, job duration, and wages, with third party credit agencies to fulfill these requests. Unfortunately, this process is not transparent for employees and can be slow and error-prone for employers and verifiers.

Truework is building a modern, employee-first employment and income verification platform to give employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which have enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and help employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.

Our engineering team is still small, which means you’ll play a big part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS. If you want to learn more about the things we’ve built, check out our engineering blog at https://www.truework.com/blog/engineering/.

If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at victor @truework.com. (more options in my profile details)
Can relate to your entire comment.

There's definitely a cadence of "followups", that tips into passive-aggressive. "Perhaps you missed my last email" or "if you're not the right person, please pass it along". The entire frame is that you owe them something or are somehow being rude by not replying, even when it's obviously automated spam. And they are positively relentless.

I find the approach especially grating and won't do business with these type, irrespective of what they're selling.
Well that would have certainly given me motivation to leave my current job sooner. If I wait N months to quit, I have to stay here another month? Fuck it I’m out.
> If one cannot see the potential for harm in such scenarios

This is a strawman. Nobody claimed that any activity was perfectly safe.
> Gen Zs political lean has not softened as they age into their late 20s, as it did with Millennials and older.

A quick search for generational boundaries put the consensus at around 1997, which would make the oldest 25 years old. I don't think there is any data to analyze about how their leanings will change. They've barely left college and during the most significant global crisis of most living people's lifetimes.
The whole "Google is not selling your data" excuse never held up to practical reality, it was always only a semantics argument along the lines of "They sell it, but not directly!".

This whole case exemplifies that very much, but it only garners attention due to who did it, Russia, not due to why and how this is actually possible.
So if I write an article about say the North Korean government stealing money, or murdering, I’m using an emotional trigger word and an “out group”?

Have you ever watched Russian domestic tv, which is incidentally 100% controlled by the government? You’d find a new appreciation for emotional triggers and out groups!
Does it? For a time, perhaps. China's high speed rail network, built largely in the way you describe, is nearly a trillion dollars in debt.

I'm guessing that's why this is in electron, thus I'm guessing it's for browsing something but isn't a "web browser": https://github.com/Bonsai-Desk/bonsai-browser/blob/2d7a08568...

A friend of mine is a quadruple amputee. He can't drive a car, but he can use bike lanes and public transit just fine.
If it cost only 4 times as much I'd probably consider it, but 10+ is just a really hard sell unfortunately. I had to scrap a perfectly good toaster because I couldn't find a replacement for a cracked plastic part that is supposed to make or break contact in a switch and engage the electromagnet. It would still toast fine if you held down the lever, and it pained me to toss it, but I couldn't source or fabricate a safe replacement part.

I'm sure the manufacturer(s) don't want to worry about self-service causing house fires though, and it costs a lot to create, maintain, and distribute a stock of replacement parts for what ultimately is a disposable appliance. I just wish I could find a solid basic consumer/prosumer toaster in the sub-$100 range.
Considering Unity has so many external contacts with game development companies, I'm not going to worry too much about their engine losing perspectives. Gigaya is useless from the beginning IMHO as it is a "demo" project. A demo project, in game development, is completely different from a mature project that is supposed to make money. A better option, if Unity really wants to do in-house game dev, is to buy a small game development company.
You've never met the kid so I'd say talk to them first and assess what they know about software. It might be unlikely but if they turn out a prodigy coder show them everything you do and have time for, like Morpheus teaching Neo. If they barely know how to turn on a PC, then your idea sounds good.

Btw the parents sound like helicopter parents going by your first sentence alone, I wouldn't mind them if they think their kid has to consider careers at 14.
Algolia | Staff ML Engineer, Semantic Search | Paris or Remote (Europe or EST/CST US) | Full-time

Not that many at the moment, considering that it's an illegal substance and <2% of the population consumes weed monthly (<0.2% daily), meaning that it's consumed a lot less than cigarettes (approximately 12% of the population between 20 and 64 smoke daily). It's also primarily used by young people here, meaning that long-term effects are not yet visible. But obviously there are health factors to consider with smoking weed (heart infarcts, lung issues/cancer, mental health issues, etc) that will be subsidized by the rest of the society. I'm also concerned about the affects of weed on driving if it becomes legal and its consumption increases, as alcohol is involved in every fourth fatal car accident and weed increases risk factors for car crashes.
I’m not American so I will never understand the dusposable-everything mindset.

I will happily spend hours repairing something that costs 15 minutes of my time to buy.

At no point in my life as an adult have I ever depended on my current job for my financial stability. I depended on having a marketable set of skills, a network and a savings account.

I definitely never went into buying a house without having 3 to six months worth of bills in the bank.

On the other hand, as a software developer for 25 years, it’s never taken me more than a month to go from “I’m looking for a job” to “having an offer”. I’ve changed jobs 8 times abs six between 2008.

Well to be honest, this last time took two months just because the hiring process takes longer at BigTech. But I wasn’t really looking. It just fell into my lap.

Speaking of which, even in todays world. Any software developer who worked at Unity shouldn’t have any trouble finding another job quickly. That’s intended to be a compliment.
It's a rule that the EU set for vehicles. EU-based manufacturers were the first to use r1234yf because of this rule, and American auto manufacturers followed suit to make it an industry standard, but there's no rule in the US other than the existing Clean Air Act, AFAIK.

The rule only affects newly manufactured vehicles as well, so there's no requirement to phase out R410A.
A magnetron is a vacuum tube which works by swirling space charge around. Vacuum tubes are "electronics"; the word "electronics" was originally invented to distinguish vacuum tubes (where it matters that the charges are being carried by electrons) from previous electrical devices such as relays, resistors, condensers, motors, generators, and inductors, where you can pretty much ignore the nature of the charge carriers.
About 15 years when I got my first digital camera, I noticed that there were always a few dots in the same spots that were bright white/red/green/blue no matter what the settings on the camera were or what the picture was of. I found out these were "hot pixels" and were caused by defects in the sensor. I'd always wondered if someone could create an algorithm to match photos to a specific camera based on hot pixels. It seems like this is exactly that.

I was sort of in the same position as you about 18 years ago. But all the guys who wrote that code moved on, the managers moved on. I hanged on, kept refactoring and fixing bugs in the horrible code, often alone. Also supporting internal users. I got to the point where I was the only one who knew it all, so managers didn't argue me and essentially let me do what I wanted. I became the team's technical lead, while the team itself disbanded and reformed 3 times around me. The code is much better now, although there are many dark corners left.

It takes some grit, determination, some belief in yourself and your abilities, and some minimal level of laissez-faire attitude in your level of the organization to get going. In the beginning I had encountered opposition to my changes, but in retrospect it wasn't that strong and I was allowed to have a small impact even then.

If that's not the situation in your case then I think you'd best move on, it's not worth it. If you do want to stay, I'd try to befriend that older guy or at least work with him and have him recognize that you're good and you mean well for his code, so he'll not object to your changes.

BTW, at the end I sort of became that old man myself... But I strive to be a much better one than the ones who were there when I came aboard. Me and my team lead, who "grew" together with me in the company and shares the same views, encourage refactorings, unit tests, and proper documentation, clean code and code reviews. She deals heroically with the pressures from management and users to add features quickly so I wouldn't have to.

I accept criticisms of my code and the app in general, and always try to explain to critics that I think they're absolutely right but there was a serious cost/benefit anaylsis done behind each bug or duplication that was knowingly left in the code from the old days. They are being dealt with, just very slowly and carefully. Like you, I still get a headache looking at the old pieces of the code which remain from that era, but they have been mostly phased out by now and next year I hope will be deleted completely.
I have conversations with my nieces and nephews about practically everything. Business, power dynamics, opportunity cost, risk, upside and downside, social interactions, reputation, local optima and global optima (if you could ever know them in real life), growth, compounding, mastery, competitive and comparative advantage, etc. I do that first without introducing the concept and by asking questions that lead them to extract the insight, then I'll put the term on that at the end with some references and the prior work on a topic.

I was putting some food in the microwave and my then 12 year old nephew was with me. We were in a short conversation about the price of things and he arrived at the concept of a loss leader. I mean he really understood it. Then I told him what it's called. I merely guided the conversation with questions that challenged his intuition, presented counter-examples to intuitive answers. He'd just "hmmm", then think about it for a few seconds, then upend his hypothesis. It was beautiful to watch.
Something tells me you're confusing an actual business (Klarna) with someone offloading shares through Crowdcube.
I guess I'd say if your idea revolves around shitty ad-tech or fin-tech, then no, that's not a good answer. But if you have a genuinely new niche ... maybe? It's a little like "burn this codebase and start all over". It's a gut reaction we all have, and 90% of the time it's a bad idea. But that 10% of the time ...

It's a display of strength, in my opinion. "Struggle all you want, but in the end we will have our way with you." I'm not a geopolitical expert or anything but I fully expect China to take Taiwan by force while the West is busy with Russia. I'm fairly certain that we couldn't effectively sanction both China _and_ Russia

Shit, that's almost a quarter of what I recently paid for an entire stove, or about half the price of the cheapest stove that store had.
In regards to your question - I think of it this way. In what order do you prioritize your identities; yourself, your family, social circles, those who seem to share your identity, the state or its populus, and then the world? Plenty of people prioritize one above all else, and for many that is the state.

In regards to media bias, at least in the US, the nielson ratings among others are monitored vigorously, often given to anchors during commercial breaks. Content is filtered through a, or multiple people's worldview(s), but ratings rule for all but the most ideological. The juggling of entertainment and news will never go away, I think - people don't listen to the newswires like AP or reuters for fun do they?

Those arguments always sound like straw men though: they are designed because they are easy to tear down. China is...weird. You can't really take anything at face value, good or bad. And I say that having lived there for 9 years. E.g. sometimes a ghost mall or district is one waiting to be populated, otherwise times it's just waiting to be torn down (either way positive GDP is generated).
