> Even if the top performers are insulated from the "heat" there are a non-zero number of them that this won't sit right with and/or they are affected and they leave.

Or some of the low (but not negative) productivity teammates get pushed out and the top performer follows them because keeping them around was good for morale for reasons unrelated to their actual job descriptions (or their individual metrics were rubbish but they also were valued assistants who unlocked the top guy to work at full speed).
Sensitivity is a real problem.

When I was younger I would sometimes feel deeply hurt when someone expressed disapproval of something I did or something about me, and as I've grown older realized that sometimes people don't like the way I do things, or don't like me, and that's okay.

I don't have a really specific point to make here, but it may be worth considering that snobby humor is sometimes really hurtful to some people, and telling someone "you're too sensitive" is probably not helping them grow into a more secure person with a healthier level of sensitivity.
It should not be required to enumerate the rights people have. Better to provide restrictions and limitations. Too easy to abuse the former.
The garlic paste in tubes?

Works great.

Ah, but the Randian elite is not concerned with such. Obviously the Galts of the world will have services, they’ll pay for them by running monetary policy as well as Greenspan did.
"Cheap energy" is not the boon you think it is. You have to consider other factors - deregulating the food industry and getting rid of the FDA would save millions of taxpayer's money, would lower prices of the supply chain and let consumers pay significantly less for food, yet would have drastic side effects. Cheap energy that requires deregulation, more alarming and precarious climate effects, etc might not be a net positive.

Likewise, "not starting any new wars" can be perceived as bowing to foreign nations by anyone who wants to frame it negatively, or vice versa as an amazing success for diplomacy.

I'm friends with the founders of ReGrid and I've met the author. He documented better than anyone the decline of Detroit on his blog.

https://www.goobingdetroit.com/

In short this is good news for Detroit. For the first time more homes are being rehabbed than torn down. But he's right there were homes torn down that probably did not need to be.

A guy I follow on YouTube is Emilio Basa. He drives the streets looking for houses he can wholesale. He's also has his own rehabbing projects and breaks down details like costs.
Domain names aren't actually a limited resource. Only the short ones are.

Fundamental flaw of the system, because just like physical real estate, whoever got there first has an enormous advantage.

I’m glad you’re in a better industry now, and I’m extremely grateful that you wrote up your blog posts and books while dealing with that. They’ve been instrumental to my journey in programming.
I think you hit the nail on the head with trains, because your parent is pretty much describing a modern train signaling system, down to the centralized supercomputer.

> create standardised computer readable infrared road markings, equip each traffic light and each lamp post with a radio beacon, each crash barrier could have a radio marker, create PUBLIC maps of each city, have a central traffic control sypercomputer in each city provide directions to cars. Have each car painted with infrared markers so they recognise each-other.

It is amazing how often tech savy folks can reinvent trains.
I view healthcare as a service, like utilities. There is a reason the PUC exists in so many (all?) US states.
I think you’re jumping to some conclusions that aren’t necessarily merited. We don’t know what DHS did or didn’t do beyond this letter, so I’m not going to speculate on that.

It is completely legal and common for LE to ask someone to stop doing something that approaches the limits of the law or could potentially lead to trouble. We have had recent attacks on federal buildings, in that context, asking someone not to incite further violence is hardly an abuse of power. I’m all for law enforcement reform, but this is a stretch.
I don't think this will lhave much impact on health care cost. The cost is high because it is paid through employer and therefore it is hidden from you. If the law was to force employers disclose lost wages for employees due to health car, that would have bigger impact. The real impact will come if employers turn off the medical insurence coverage entirely and everyone has to cut the checks themselves.
> They say for atheists the worst moment is the Dark Night of the Soul, where, having accepted that nobody is keeping score, now you have to decide if anything means anything or if everything is completely pointless.

They're often wrong in my observation. That's the best moment of your life: it's the bright, shining point of true intellectual freedom and real free will in action (as opposed to being caged by dogma, the fantasy opinions of others, and or outright dread of a psychotic omnipotent god looking to torture you for fun).

It's the point where you get to decide what the meaning of life is for you and what matters most to you. As opposed to allowing someone else to set the board for you (parents, teachers, evangelists, preachers, assholes) and tell you what's supposed to be important to you and how you're supposed to live. It's spectacularly wonderful, and about as far away from the worst moment as you can get.
> During the bust, tech workers took ANY job, no matter how terrible

Same feeling, but from a bit different perspective. During the dotcom bust I’ve learned to love layoff periods. Cause then friends and neighbors from friendly and neighborly other teams suddenly started to look for more work instead of looking for less work - and my life became a bit easier.

At the time my team of 2 (two) was handling 12 (twelve) rather simple but important projects. Steve and his team of 4 (four) in Denver was handling 1 (one) similar project. Then the bust came, and the prospect of layoffs. And here we are at the meeting where I am transferring three of my projects to Steve’s team.

After the meeting Paul, a PM from France - we enjoyed working together, asked me, puzzled: Mike, why on earth haven’t you fought to keep your projects?? And I go: Paul, I have nine more of these - do you want some?
So like vegan products that have similar effects? And then some people don't even offer right diets to either group...
There was a lot of overlap between people with each of those opinions. My recollection is the same as yours, though - the motivation was more preservation and the idea that "the good stuff" was now a limited resource that could never be replaced.
it is an interesting phenomenon that people can have such strong opinions about things they have no interest in actually learning about.

reminds me of when I was planning my first gaming PC build as a teenager. my dad kept going on about how "it's great that you're planning something that can run all these games, but have you made sure it will be able to run ms word for school?" I tried to explain many times that 3D games require (by a large margin) a superset of the resources needed to run word, but all he heard was that I didn't care much about school.
Do we have enough psychologists in the US to systematically test all children? And does insurance cover it?

I'm in Oregon as well. There have been many news stories in Southern Oregon about the large cartel operations that are bigger than before legalization, because now they more or less blend in with the legal growers. They also involved trafficked humans to work there with passports withheld. Some of the increase has been attributed to California's drought, so they're moving north to greener pastures, so to speak. The illegal growing is more than twice as much as licensed growing. Twice. I don't know how you can say there is no problem.

> The $2.78 billion in illegal marijuana found in Southern Oregon dwarfs the nearly $1.2 billion in legal marijuana sold at shops in the entire state in 2021.

> Behind the scenes, immigrant workers may face threats of violent retaliation against their relatives in Mexico if they complain about living and working conditions at illegal sites, or the withholding of wages.

> “The cartels will kill their family back in Mexico. They know there is a realistic likelihood that would happen,” Barden said.

https://www.mailtribune.com/top-stories/2022/01/22/pot-busts...

> “We’ve heard of the threat of harm to your family if you don’t go with us”, Daniel said. “And then they are transported up to the location. From what we are understanding, these workers are not paid until the end of the year when the shipment goes out and the money is brought in. There’s not like a weekly payroll going on here.”

> Sixteen other state and federal agencies joined the Josephine County Sheriff’s department in the raid, including the Department of Homeland Security. The operation included more than 1,300 acres of property as well as 200 workers.

> Officials found workers living in squalid conditions, which included sleeping on cardboard mats or inside tends. Workers denying that they had been trafficked, Daniel said. The Department of Homeland Security offered victim services to the workers, but all turned them down, according to Daniel. This could be for several reasons, including fear of their employers or immigration authorities.

> Sergeant Cliff Barden, of the Oregon State Police Basin Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team (BINET), said illegal grows in Klamath County are clearly linked to drug cartels. He said the cartel’s strategy in the area is to overwhelm local agencies and resources with the sheer volume of production, ensuring that much of the operation will go unnoticed and ultimate generating immense profits.

> “They are intentionally trying to overwhelm the system,” Barden said. “And that is why it is so difficult.”

My experience is based on visits to an Amish town in Ohio when I was growing up in the 2000s. I distinctly remember being surprised to see they used phones and rode in cars. But that was a long time ago and only one town of many. I didn't mean to generalize all Amish communities.
Very exciting. There is all kinds of stuff out there. Imagine trying to put the statue head on the statue body, and it fits perfectly. That'd be great.
I raise you a salad pizza. It's basically a plain margherita with a mixed green salad, cooked eggs, sliced tomato, fine ham slices and joghurt dressing added after baking. Offered by one "okay, would order again" delivery service around here, it's surprisingly viable.
I like your honest tone and upfront attitude. As someone who left the industry because of this type of thinking I’d like to say it’s half-correct.

Patterns and anti-patterns are something which help make useful software. Not only architecture patterns like MVP or MVVM, but design patterns like a factory or builder etc.

It’s my belief there are also developer patterns and anti-patterns. The slacker pattern isn’t an anti-pattern, but often can incur the team pattern of daily iteration vs. bursts of work.

Most of what you’re discussing seems slated towards the anti-pattern of “words without code”. Which personally I believe is also an anti-pattern. The code must come, otherwise it’s not work, right?

But when you talk about these people “they hate tests” “doesn’t want to do X and Y perfunctory thing” your team isn’t presenting the value of those things first and foremost. Have you tried putting a “sheep” and a “slacker” together?
Some of it is timing and bluster. I have a friend who is a smart guy, owns 4 restaurants, who got scammed by a fake utility company scam fishing for gift cards. They catch you at a vulnerable moment and are good at pressing buttons.

Even with old people, people don’t realize how many sales and scam calls they get. My mom literally get 30-40 calls a day. Odds are, eventually you’re going to crack.

Lol. What a loaded piece-of-shit article.

> According to a transcript of the presser published by the Wall Street Journal, Powell blamed this inflation crisis, which is global, not on the proxy war in Ukraine [1] and Western sanctions on Russia [2], but rather on U.S. workers supposedly making too much money.

[1] https://multipolarista.com/2022/03/24/us-official-ukraine-na...
[2] https://multipolarista.com/2022/03/24/us-official-ukraine-na...

This is basically Russian propaganda. The author and founder of that website has a history of sympathetic covarage of authoritarian regimes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grayzone). It's also funny that these far-left journalists always cite their own previous articles. Powell mentions the war in Ukraine as contributing to inflation, but since he didn't call it a "proxy war" I guess it doesn't count.

> “Employers are having difficulties filling job openings, and wages are rising at the fastest pace in many years,” Powell complained.

LOL. Definitely sounds like a complaint to me. No editorializing here. That's why Powell said this later in the press conference:

> If you think about it, if you look at the last cycle, we had a very, very—longest expansion cycle in our recorded history, and in the last two, three years, you had the benefits of this tight labor market going to people in the lower quartiles and it was—you know, racial wealth and income—not wealth but income gaps were coming down, wage gaps. So it’s a really great thing. We’d all love to get back to that place, but to get back to anything like that place, you need price stability.

How do you know if someone posting a random nasty comment on the internet is a "Gamer"? How do you know if someone posting a nice comment is not?

You're projecting identity on people and then project attributes onto that identity. Most likely you're unconsciously selecting who to project the identity onto based on the same attributes. This creates a feedback loop. This is literally how stereotypes are constructed and reinforced.

I would immediately quit any company that does universal paycuts. I assume the execs would also leave if you cut their pay more than they can get elsewhere.

Best solution is to hire better next time, and fire underperformers or entire product organizations.
Nah, not to be political but the parent commenter probably means the retconning folks in the GOP who claim libertarianism as a political ideology but are often anything but.

Left libertarianism is summed up as: live and let live. Very different.
depressed RSUs will likely act as a compensation adjustment. If your compensation is 50% RSU, and RSU's fall by half - then you have a 25% pay cut. With the recent market turbulence some have seen close to a 50% cut due to RSU price declines.
The way to solve this is by educating the people in your network about better security practices, not by giving away control over your communications just because of "convenience".
It probably doesn't matter now, but all LED's have a resistor connected to them so they don't just burn out. You can desolder it and put a different one in. Since it isn't a critical piece, you can touch contact a few different ones until you get the level of dimness you want.

If you look at the C that's generated using -keepc flag, I think you will be hard pressed to find any glaring inefficiencies to "hand coded C"; especially none of which GCC optimization wouldn't handle with -prod compiler flag. Even if there were, for the very large majority of users who are not highly proficient in C (which is becoming more and more common these days - Grey beards are rare), the V way is going to outperform novice to intermediate-skilled C programmers hands down.
Well since I am not an American it's not really that common in the Netherlands. Plus as @ElijahLynn mentions: Scocial needs.
I read "The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do" by Judith Rich Harris (highly recommend doing so before starting with kids). And it contains a nice example of a boy that is home-schooled by two teachers. The kids is brilliant and and 21 becomes the youngest University teacher. He writes a book on model trains that is considered to be the most boring book that exists and he offs himself. At least this is what I remember of the book. I think the example says it all...
Edit: I do understand the need for home-schooling with the school shootings and all. Maybe that is why it is not that common in other countries?
When I was in school, we only used apostrophe, comma, open and close paren, exclamation point, question mark, dollar sign, and period. Maybe a percent sign in later years. Of course my exposure to computers in those days was watching TV when the announcer took a stack of (punch) cards from a card sorter and called it a computer (UNIVAC IIRC).
I feel the same way. I think critiques and criticisms have their place, but the internet does seem full of people ready to complain. The quote from the critic in Ratatouille always comes to mind

In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so...
