That's not a good explanation to me.

Think of Hollywood: dominated by wealthy and out of touch artists. With very few exceptions, they all publicly express politically correct and safe ideas that ensures they keep making money comfortably.

That's the total opposite of the direction Scott Adams has been going.

For scientists there absolutely is ageism. A 40 year old postdoc is going to raise a lot of flags. Old scientists are expected to be in professorship positions, where most of the work is management and big picture rather than boots on the ground.

The analogy for ageism in programming is that after a while, one is expected to go beyond writing code and into more high level strategy, design, and mentorship.
This is yet another hurdle for folks with any kind of social handicap or phobia. If you were already awkward or shy around people, now you have to be even more conscious about what you do, say, and your body language.
>The attack has no impact on the four PQC algorithms selected by NIST as approved standards, all of which rely on completely different mathematical techniques than SIKE.

This was an algorithm that was in the process of being evaluated. It seems like the process worked the way it should have and is weeding out the algorithms that don't work. There is nothing wrong with trying an idea that doesn't work out!
The problem is you will run out of money long long before we run out of fossil fuels. And closed fuel cycles are great but they're even more expensive, and you're still going to end up with at least some waste.

People think there is an easy simple answer to this. But there isn't. People think it's nuclear, and it is if you ignore the costs, the waste and the political issues. But then fossil fuels are a great solution... if you ignore all the issues.
I'm 62. I started out by coding basic and machine code on a ZX-81 I won in a competition when I was on the dole in the early 1980's.

These days I earn a handsome salary as a front end developer - mostly React, but other frameworks as and when required. I pull in very good side income as a freelancer too. Over the last 15 years I have had absolutely no problem getting a job at any stage, usually winding up with a number of offers within a few days of leaving my previous job.

I imagine I've come across ageism from time to time, but honestly it has made little difference to me or to my prospects. I'm told I look quite young for my age, but I dye no hairs.

Take heart oldies, if I can do it, so can you.

I figured out how to offend a manager at work: express concerns about Elon Musk. I was reprimanded for being "inconsiderate".

EDIT: No, I do not work somewhere that has Elon Musk in a direct or indirect supervisory position, including the board. The manager (whom I don't even report to in the chain) just didn't care for the lack of unconditional praise for Elon Musk in a slack thread.
I see other possible paths, creating a AOT/JIT compiler from the bytecodes into specific hardware instructions.

Alternatively couple the lessons with a digital circuits design course and create a CPU for their bytecode instead, possibly via a FPGA.

And doing a devastatingly good job - we see an example in the article that one of the comics was colour swapped (a black character to a white one). There are a lot of layers to that when we ask what the person who did that might have been thinking.
Early tech decisions can become myopic in the long run. If you're not careful and admit that you made quick decisions early on these early decisions can become entrenched as gospel. This can alienate later, more experienced developers and become a factor in burnout as they are forced to deal with, "this is how we do things around here."

One way to deal with tech debt is to take advantage of the experience and skill of your developers and embrace change.

You might not want to be switching databases every time someone suggests, "X is better than Y," for sure! Inertia has its uses. But you don't want to stagnate either. Conclusion of tfa is solid: the truth is somewhere in the middle. The keyword for me is sufficient: the local minimum that meets all of our requirements. If we need to be able to be able to ship changes faster and it takes weeks to get changes merged, something is not sufficient in our stack/process/etc.
This has been true for at least 20 years.
I suspect the high cost of living in those cities plays a role too. Try buying a house in SF to raise kids. :-)

But raising the average 5-7 years doesn't really substantially change the argument when we're talking about discriminating against people in their 50s and 60s, who mostly don't have babies or young children at all. It just makes no sense.

If anything, employers should be seeking out employees in their 50s and 60s, who are least likely of the age groups to have young children at home. If a primary reason for age discrimination is "having children", that is. But I don't believe this is true, and the whole having children thing is just an ex post facto excuse for discriminating against older people. An irrational prejudice can't be explained rationally.
> given you took the time to make a throwaway account.

This account is more than a year old. I make lots of HN accounts and typically stop using them after 500karma.

Like I said web3 is not popular on HN, you don’t even know the project (nor do others) but show disdain anyway because it is “crypto”. That’s not a reflection on me and what I’m doing with GeoCities, but the a reflection on people that dislike a project not knowing what it is.

FYI you’re on a platform that invests in startups, one of the most successful being a cryptocurrency exchange that went public and is responsible for the growth of cryptocurrency with the masses.
My reading is that snipers are a very specialized soldier type that can benefit from cammo, but it's way less useful for other soldier types.

A sniper lies prone for a long time, with really heavy cammo (think netting, foliage, etc). Staying put is a big deal.

Regular soldiers constantly move about, which means their cammo has to be more practical and lightweight, and is also less effective due to said movement.
I would say the fact that companies have so over-rotated on this stuff means he is still punching up. It’s no longer a marginalized position when corporations are now codifying culture war issues as part of their ideology.
I think, as an extension of what you pointed out... The problem I have discussing your linked articles with friends is that they don't believe it, and end up thinking I'm the crazy one.

That Coca-cola would tell employees to "be less white" is so ridiculous and far fetched, that it simply can't be happening.

Or, if it is happening, it's just some overzealous person whose hot take about "whiteness" just got bad press -- it's isolated to that one event, and certainly not happening across the country.

The effect is that you (and I) begin to look like the crazy ones. And the more we see it happening, the more frenzied we become in trying to warn people, the less they believe us, and the crazier we look.
I find there is general agism, but hard won experience is still really valued on the teams and the places that I want to work.

I was recently looking into an equivalent for V8 isolates. I'd like something like this for python, but it looks like micro VMs is my best bet here.
For anyone working in this field or having hands-on experience: is weave's ignite a choice if I'd want to execute long-running python scripts of users? I remember that there was a lot of overhead for I/O. Or should I just go with raw Firecracker like Stan does in this article?

The scripts would be long-running, but don't require much computational power. Just a few arithmetic operations on an array every second. The array is being fed in via WebSocket.
Depends if it was before or after they started using them to secure important data. Before - it's no big deal, just the safeguards working as they should. After - that would be bad.

Does Facebook/IG get a pass because they're domestic to you ? Are you also outraged when they set global limitations on issues that should only impact the US ?

To me looking at it as a "them vs us" matter just brings in too much tribalism that poisons the discussion.
It is a legal argument for liability. By reaching outside their own specialty, digging into the ethics & practices of their customers, and taking action against them, they've opened themselves up to plaintiffs & regulators. In other words, if you touch it, it's yours.

Putting themselves in the morals & enforcement business, it was only a matter of time before they were held to account for not doing a better job of it. A much stickier situation in front of a jury than being able to honestly state, "Hey, we just process payments."

Agreed. The author is blaming Airflow for what are ultimately poor architecture decisions.

I will admit it's not easy to figure out best practices with Airflow, but if you make bad decisions and your system doesn't scale with the problem, you didn't understand the problem or how to solve it in the first place. The tools you chose are second to that.

Yeah probably, the tech layoffs amount to a couple thousand people in a labor force of hundreds of millions.
Also some young people who are in tech seem to be both hypersensitive while also suffering from know-it-all syndrome. They don't like moments when their personal curtain is pulled back by people with experience. Well, that has been my experience with the few juniors I have worked with anyway.
Doonesbury is occasionally hilarious, but a lot of strips are setups for a later payoff.
Great news. I have been thinking of various ways to make the paid plan more attractive to people and was looking at interactive elements like tooltips and buttons as a potential differentiator.

How much would you be willing to pay to add tooltips and buttons for your use case?

The app is free forever with a paid tier that adds some functionality but I'm mostly focusing on user aquisition with the free tier at the moment. I'd say the likelihood of the project being around in 5 years is high as it costs me very little to run and I'm happy to run it at a loss as a public good.

Thanks for your feedback.
I didn't know about DMXIS and tried to look it up, and it seems that there is a software and a hardware component (the latter not being produced anymore), see here:

https://www.dmxis.com/dmxis/

I don't know about the software, but as for a DIY hardware solution, you can just connect a USB-DMX interface (like the Enttec DMX USB Pro) and a USB-MIDI device to a laptop and "just" have to code something to translate MIDI input to DMX output. Or use an Arduino, an RS-485 module and a few other components, that's what I once did.
Actually Linus is on the way to learn some Rust from those students....
I think the main problem are people who have this weird (to me) take that you can't be at eye level or form friendships with a huge age gap. Maybe it has helped that I've had friends a lot older than myself when I was ~20 (and not just my 50y old parents as the only reference point of older adults), but also at work. If people with 20 years of experience explain why they are correct and not "because I say so" it's a good experience, same as with people fresh off university - some are eager to listen when you tell them why it will fail and some will just believe you're the old grumpy neckbeard.
I suspect my early trajectory is similar (and my parents couldn’t afford the pre-built version of the ZX81, so I learnt soldering at 11), except my jump was not to the Spectrum, but to the Atari XL because Dixons had a sell-off-the-stock deal where you got a floppy-disk drive + the computer for £100. So I went to 64k after 16 :)

These days I live in Sunny CA, I’m almost as senior engineer as I can be at Apple (and I’ve got a good chance of getting rid of the “almost” over the next couple of years), and I’m going to retire early as soon as the kid goes to college. Not bad for a docker’s brat from ‘pool.

Can’t say I’ve noticed much Ageism here at the fruit company. I know people who’ve been here for 30 years (I’m coming up on 20) and my direct boss used to work at NeXT.
I used to love Dilbert because it echoed (down to every single minute detail) my work environment (which, like Adams', was a telco).

Then it became creepy because it anticipated everything that was coming to pass (sometimes the very day, sometimes within a week, we'd have reorgs, discussions with Marketing, trips to our equivalent of Elbonia).

The peak, for me, was when Dogbert was hailed as a cloud guru the week I started leading a cloud transformation project...

Now it's just borderline insane, but still eerily realistic, despite what one might think of Adams himself (I don't think they should be directly associated in some contexts, and it is just a cartoon, not a political essay).
Only if you then proceeded to tell me that because less people are employed the country has a lower standard of living and is more economically unstable. As a direct example of this, Sweden's unemployment rate is 7.6% right now[0], and it's historically been quite a bit higher than the US's. But people say that it ranks #1 in terms of quality of life[1]. Additionally, their unemployment rate is not negatively effecting their growth[2].

So in answer to your question, yes it continues to confuse me when people try to equate employment numbers with the overall economic status of a country. You don't take any number in isolation, you look at the data holistically, and sometimes you have numbers that seem to be at odds with one another. When that happens, it requires a deeper investigation to see what's truly happening instead of taking the number you like better and using that to promote your narrative.

I would go so far as to say that making an algorithm that doesn't work doesn't make you bad at inventing new algorithms. Trying ideas that might not work is part of science.
FWIW I don’t think this is contrary to the comment you replied to, but I started reading your comment hoping you’d have the convincing argument. Are there some examples you’re thinking of? There’s no denying the mathematical utility of complex numbers, they are a great mathematical device. There’s also no question that natural and real numbers existed in math and language for thousands of years before complex numbers were invented. But why would complex be more “number” or more “real” than scalars, what does that mean? How are reals an artificial restriction of complex numbers? (Does it make real number sense to have 2+3i dollars or apples?) Surely the choice to include the real number line in the complex plane isn’t the only reason? Otherwise, I’d argue that vectors are the more natural choice for what you’re trying to say.
I beg to differ :) I guess a lot depends on set and setting.

I am approaching that age where I worry people are going to discriminate against me because of age -- I am lucky that I do look younger than I am (even with beard).

But I'm wondering if I should edit my resume to make my age less apparent from it -- remove the earliest part of my career from my resume? I have the academic degrees I've earned on my resume -- remove the dates of them too?
HR is always going to say "don't make waves". They don't care about the source of the waves, and never have. If you worked in Saudi Arabia, they would say eating pork and uncovering female faces was unprofessional. If you worked in the Vatican in 1850, they'd say eating flesh on Fridays was unprofessional. So if you work for an American corporation today, don't be surprised when HR expects you to drink the unwritten Kool-Aid about what is or is not sacred.
> I feel for this woman, But I don't like where this is going.

Why?

> I highly highly doubt that Visa had any knowledge in this.

So? Whether it's likely to be true was not an issue at this stage. The question was only whether the plaintiff had made an argument which, if proven true by evidence at trial, would constitute a violation of the law for which a remedy is avaialable against Visa. Because the court found answer was yes—because, among other things, they alleged that Visa did have such knowledge—the case can proceed to where the plaintiff gets a chance to present evidence to prove the allegations and Visa gets to try to rebut them, with evidence on both sides.

Would you prefer that someone in this position, making this allegation, be denied a remedy without the opportunity to prove their case?
There's definitely a perception that people forcing diversity training, pronoun protocols, etc. are in positions of power over regular employees.

Perhaps attacking people in previously marginalized groups is punching down, but attacking HR DEI enforcers is definitely punching up.
That has a good summary:

> Sen's interest in famine stemmed from personal experience. As a nine-year-old he witnessed the Bengal famine of 1943, in which three million people died. This staggering loss of life was unnecessary, Sen later concluded. He presents data that there was an adequate food supply in Bengal at the time, but particular groups of people including rural landless labourers and urban service providers like barbers did not have the means to buy food as its price rose rapidly due to factors that include acquisitions by the military, panic buying, hoarding, and price gouging, all of them connected to the war in the region. In Poverty and Famines, Sen revealed that in many cases of famine, food supplies were not significantly reduced. In Bengal, for example, food production, while down on the previous year, was higher than in previous non-famine years. Sen points to a number of social and economic factors, such as declining wages, unemployment, rising food prices, and poor food-distribution, which led to starvation.

Ah yes, diversity statments are the real problem in academia.

Not, say, 10:1 PhD student to position ratio. Or exploitation. Or the visa slavery (accept all the crap, or get kicked out of the country you've been toiling for over the course of 10 years). Or $50K/yr being acceptable research professor's salary. Or the disgusting proportion of adjunct positions used as full-time. Or (gasp) actual lack of diversity.

Nooo, it's the statements, which were invented as a non-solution that requires nobody to sacrifice anything, changes nothing, but can be a great taking point.

Same with the industry. Wage stagnation, treating workers as disposable, job conditions — no, it's the diversity efforts that are the problem.

Never mind that diversity is profitable [1], and is pushed by managements for that reason if they have the brains to understand it.

Which Scott Addams, sadly, does not.

If Dilbert is a mirror, it's one that's been covered with poop its maker piled up on it.

I was having trouble finding a job. I dyed my beard back to my original hair color and had 4 offers within 2 weeks.

Dyeing your beard feels disingenuous and smells a little funny at first, but it really works. People remarked that I:
- Had lost weight
- Looked less tired
- Must be feeling better
- You must be under so much less stress now
- You look younger

I look forward to retiring and letting it go gray again. For now I think I need to keep it at least partially colored instead of looking like santa claus.
Neither my current job nor my future job require me to invert a binary tree but here I am practicing it anyway.
Some of the early 2001 PETs had them IIRC. I dont know what it was, but when I took computers in highschool there were still a few of the old ones in the class that had 4K and crappy keyboards and I think and there was something that didnt run on them. Hence it was a rush to reserve the fancy new 4xxx series.

Just my own preference, but I was going the route of NUC and instead landed on Protectli routers. They are meant to be routers/firewalls but work as general purpose PC's and at least at the time costed less than a NUC and have more interface options. They are air cooled and generally run cool unless doing heavy workloads but not a problem in my case. I just set them next to my HEPA filter. One can chose between CoreBoot and AMI bios and many different CPU options.
