> This reddit post [1] comparing the French railway network in 1910 to what was still available in 2014 is just depressing.

Well don't be depressed because that second map is obviously and totally wrong.

It's even mentioned in the comments of the reddit link if you scroll down enough. The maps should actually be pretty much the same.
I have worked in couple of Big Techs and they don't care what languages are you proficient in. All that matters is if you're comfortable in the domain they are hiring. Learning languages and frameworks are easier.

So pick a domain you want to explore, like working with services, or mobile, or mobile architecture, web etc

I personally started my journey with Python for back-end and I still love it and do my micro projects in Python.

In industry, I've worked with C#, Java, Golang, Python and concepts I learned during my exploration were super useful in my work.
These concepts were handling of data, caches, running services, scaling them up, cloud etc etc

I'm sure there is similar story for mobile and web.

So TL;DR, pick a domain you want to explore and pick a language you're comfortable in. Build expertise in the domain and not the language/framework.

Not that expertise in language/framework doesn't matter, I just personally feel from my experience in industry that domain knowledge is valued more.
That's like claiming that a leaky sump pump sank the titanic.

Linux has never been anywhere close to resistant to privilege escalation bugs.
Yes, that's very similar to what I built. That repo is using Parsec (also free for private users) as the game streaming implementation.
"... or from companies that hold the rights to the clips". Boy. Any surveillance state just got a great new idea.
You wrote:

<< If popularity and the word standard are in anyway connected then with Mozart's music it's no contest.

Type 'Mozart' into YouTube and see how may hits you get.>>

While not specifically SAYING: "Mozart's music is the best there is.", the implication gathered from your statement is that:

Mozart is very popular (as per YT hits)

and

Popularity is connected to "standard"

Hence: the conclusion: Mozart is a standard for good music (if not best, given the very high number of hits on YT.).

In any case, my beef is with the original article since it blurted out "Mozart effect", thus, again, automatically and unqualifyingly placing Mozart in the pedestal of music that is good enough to make you smarter.....

That they chose Mozart but no OTHER music, therefore, implies, that they consider Mozart to be the standard of good music--the best music, as it were--for improving IQ outcomes.
Seems like a poorly executed layoff. I’ve seen a few of those in my previous job. Things like an SVP of Product congratulating the machine learning team for an awesome alpha demo and asking when we would be ready to ship this to customers. The answer he got was that it would never get to customers because he laid off the whole team the day before.
I'm always learning new languages but when job searching I end up in the same language I always used because those skills match my employment experience. What is your plan on moving stacks? Make your resume generic and hope for a take home test?

The Venn diagram of C-levels who are willing to work at a company with an inherently predatory business model, and those who will lay people off and screw them over is basically a circle.

It is impossible for someone who leads a company like that to be a good person. Why would anyone be surprised at them being heartless to their employees?
You should try some tantra, I know multiple people that have been mentally healed by a single week-long tantra retreat. They changed front people that were uncomfortable with touch and intimacy to people who actively sought it out, without becoming creepy or non-consentual. I have one friends who was completely uncomfortable with his body and with intimacy from other people. Because of this, he was 26 years old and never had a sexual experience with another person before. After hearing some good stories of other Friends, he decided to do a tantra retreat. He came back a changed man. His fear of intimacy had dissapeared. A girl from the retreat proposed that she would deflower him and a few weeks later hè had his first threesome. I know it sounds a bit unbelievable. I probably wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't had multiple people with a similar experience.

That being said; nobody should be forced to hug or kiss if they don't want to. I do, however, believe that most people crave intimacy even if they do not know it themselves. I think love and intimacy are dangerous for systems and society, and are therefor discouraged slightly by society.

> Before you decry statically linked systems as "perpetually vulnerable"

But statically linked systems are perpetually vulnerable by design, aren't they?

I mean, what's your plan to fix a vulnerable dependency once a patch is available?

Are you tracking each and every dependency that directly or indirectly consumes the vulnerable library? Are you hoping to have access to their source code, regardless of where they came from, and rebuild all libraries and applications?

Because with shared libraries, all it takes to patch a vulnerable library is to update just the one lib, and all downstream consumers are safe.

What's your solution for this problem? Do you have any at all?
Then a lot more poor people could get insurance, not very 'merican.
States can certainly control the behavior of ordinary businesses that operate in their borders. Maybe they can't directly stop some hacker somewhere from operating a mixer but if coins from a mixer are as illegal as coins from some crime, these businesses won't want to touch.

I mean, the FBI has already shown it can see through mixers and arrest those who try to cash stolen bitcoins.

China has made sale or possession of bitcoin a crime but the West is following different road - with enough state intervention, bitcoin will wind-up a public money, less private money system than regular bank accounts. Every transaction is on the blockchain and that is public. Try putting that in your "anarcho-capitalist" pipe and smoking it.
That's intriguing to say the least. Any plan on published it somehow?
she is supposed to be part of the team and have the same knowledge and thus be able to make an equally or more informed decision
Being worth 5/10 cents? Of course. It seems the point is that if they were worth more (~$1) people would be sure to keep them to recycle
What's your plan if fixing a vulnerability requires changing the size of a struct?
Apple needs to be very careful that they don’t erode the things that most differentiate them from their competition.
Whatever else it is, it isn't new.

The Grameen Bank in Bangladesh was first publicized in the West 20 years ago.

It also isn't "predatory capitalism." Rather, it's NGO-ism. It's charitable donations from liberal-minded people that drive it.
> failure is the default. If you're not constantly fighting against failure, you're failing.

This. Any success, let alone wild success is highly unlikely. Just assume you’ll work on interesting problems and at some point you’ll realize either you or the problem will change in a way that makes disengaging the right answer.
I thought Klarna did a 'soft' credit check? That shouldn't show up on your file? I think they need permission to do a hard credit check.

> A bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Ithaca College costs $132,656, on average, and two years later, graduates are earning $19,227. That’s less than people in New York State earn with only a high school diploma and no college education.

That's just one example, but in general I complement the article on emphasizing approaches using current, not longer-term historic data.

One can overfit to a current bad economy, etc, but it seems insincere to promote college based upon 30-year past data, without acknowledging secular shifts in conditions.
Since that evades automation, I expect they might. If they care.

The "I was just being sarcastic" was an enormous lie during the 2016 election cycle, though. Detecting lies is probably higher on their list.
I've never heard of that, it would cost you more than it would cost the employer since you first have to pay taxes on your income, and employers can often get better rates.
_OnComplete works on while and for loops. There's an empty as well and I'm not sure if empty should also execute complete or not. I figure I'll know after writing real code in more than one project

My armchair guess is what you are right here, you need a path for the current.

> productivity per employee is too low

When referring to productivity, what do you mean in this case? For Google, their profit per employee is still very high (about $300k [0]). Of the top 10 biggest employers in that list, they are 3rd-highest-earning per capita.

That's exactly the problem deb files and apt solve (via integration testing and documenting antidependences.)
It most definitely is not. Confidence and predictions are orthogonal concepts outside of stats and ML. A gambler makes predictions, but may have no confidence in winning. A scientific model may produce predictions with no associatel claims of probability or even validity. It is perfectly grammatically and semantically correct to say that someone made a prediction that they themselves do not believe to be the most likely outcome.
Wolfram speculated on this idea: if spacetime is a graph, it may approximate the 3+1 topology on average, but in some places two distant nodes can be connected by a direct link. I'd speculate further that such isolated links may be enough to entangle low-level quantum properties of two particles, but not enough to be a tunnel even for a single photon.
What if you don't have a solution to the complaint?
Do you get paid less? I’ve been working with Rust in my last couple jobs and I think I’m being paid very competitively, especially for my experience level.
I was actually surprised to read that the Swedish CEO "took a dab at unions". Sure, relationships with unions can be complicated, but I've never heard an employer talk negatively about them here (maybe I'm just sheltered?). I am used to seeing union reps come to the office a few times a year for Q&As and feedback sessions, and taking about union membership was normal in internal channels. Never heard of anyone in leadership batting an eye (heck, they were likely also union members). Being hostile to unions seems like a normal thing for some other parts of the world, but seeing a Swedish employer talk like this about union membership here immediately leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the company. It's a red flag.

Unfortunately it can take a while for employees who have relocated to Sweden to consider joining a union. It took me about a year or two after moving here to realize it was a thing, and such a normal thing at that. I can imagine that Unionen et al would have gotten more than a few phone calls from Klarna employees asking for advice during/after this whole thing.
Earlier this year, the "Additive Manufacturing Forward" program was announced. One of the goals of this program is to set industry standards and develop training/certifications. I'm hoping the NIST and other standards-governing bodies (ISO, ASTM, ASME) will be in a position to accept RFCs for printer communication protocols, Gcode encoding, and other standards within coming years. AM Forward puts a 1-2 year timeline on proposed milestones. (edited: typo)

I’ve been through several tech layoffs. I can’t think of any case where new joiners were targeted. It was always some combination of performance and cost (either personal pay or an entire group being less profitable).
You are likely deluding yourself about your skill level; I’ve had the habit of tracking my peer's productivity (on Shotgrid) to stay above their metrics, and even if I could say objectively to be the faster in my dept., that is irrelevant. VFX needs different kinds of people, and I can’t count how many times “less” productive artists came up with very beautiful and ingenious solutions that I haven’t thought about it.

Also, we don’t stay long hours because we failed to put a light on the correct place. as the article points out, the issue is the director/production has no financial penalties for their lack of planning and indecisiveness. This is just the Parkinson's law of triviality [0] that happens in most businesses, but since VFX studios don’t put a hard cap on the number of revisions, artists end up absorbing that. One of my recent crunches was due to production going through 43 versions of a magic wand effect. IMO, by version 15, we already had multiple and more interesting looks than what was approved for final.

I charge 300 quid to even look at a piece of equipment that's been "re-capped". Some people pay that, presumably because they realise that's the price of having the damage inflicted by the poke-and-hope brigade repaired.

If you gave his workers a choice between splitting the company equally with Elon and letting him have all or most of it, they would all choose to have the benefits of ownership. You can't say that someone "agreed" to something if they took the only available path.
It has worked perfectly thus far, at separating investors' money from the investors. Most private fusion projects operate on similar principles.

We are starting to see similar projects in the renewables space, most notably Energy Vault (NRGV). Their stuff does not work, and cannot work, but it does not matter because the customer is the investors, not the utilities, and what the investors buy is pipe dreams.
> what about that is all that revolutionary?

Exactly. I've seen a lot of media coverage on Klarna (I'm Swedish), often with the angle "wow, innovation". The question I've too often wished journalist had asked is "Why?", what's the benefit of what you do? Except being more shiny.

Lot of waste in the tech sector. Sad how many skilled people work endlessly on more effective ways of pushing ads and loans, to make us desire and buy things we don't need with money we don't have.
Technically, that did not really happen yet ( although I agree with that prediction as likely ). We had one instance of mass shooting in an affluent Chicago suburb, but there is no indication it was done to 'target rich people'.

I am typing all this as I recall that I saw 'eat the rich' meme on Imgur the past few months semi-consitently ( to be fair though; Imgur has become oddly politicized as a platform ).
First of all it is really arrogant of you to presume these are "irrational life style choices". Who are you to tell me what I should put inside my body, and what is best for me? I deliberated talking about my reasons, mostly health related, but then I decided against it because I do not want to hear from a stranger what actually works well for me as a diet, as if I am not the one living with my own body. That is none of your business. And for your information, I am also no Texas American on a cattle ranch eating beef steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Secondly the whole of consumerist culture is "irrational lifestyle choices". This stupid line in the sand drawn arbitrarily around meat consumption is just self serving bullshit. It is very convenient how others are the ones who have to do the sacrifice and others are always at fault, isn't it?

As I said already I bet my carbon footprint is still lower than yours.

I am in general fed up of close minded people like you. You cannot understand why other people live their life another way, so you decide they are stupid to do so, and you know better how they should instead live their life? Can you be any more arrogant than that?

If you were intellectually honest and really cared about environmental effects there could be many ways forward. For example as another poster has mentioned, not all meat has the same carbon footprint. And there are ways of farming/ranching that might even be carbon positive. Say goats/sheep in the highlands are more adding to the ecosystem than taking away. No veggies are going to be grown up there anyway. And in general I do agree with lowering meat consumption intake in cases were it is excessive.

But instead you went with the dogmatic bullshit approach typical of people who think they are doing something by being annoying pricks in the faces of other people.

The whole enviromentalist movement will always remain sidelined because you seek to force people to adopt your lifestyle, rather than trying to find common ground and make progress.
> How lovely to live in a world where api contracts are absolute and complicated internal behaviors never conflict in unforeseen ways.

Some libraries managed to preserve API contracts throughout the years just fine.

Even in C++, a language which does not establish a standard ABI, has frameworks which have not been breaking the ABI throughout multiple releases, such as Qt.

Hey! In this article, I'd like to tell the story about the last hacks in wallets associated with Solana not only from the perspective of the blockchain or its users but also from the perspective of the makers who build a product on Solana blockchain.
Klarna is another one of these businesses like affirm which should not exist. Propped up using VC money, it will all come crumbling down. What a disaster. Shopify also got caught up in this mess by investing in all this. A lot of Shopify's revenue came when Klarna went public instead of product and merchant revenue. Everything burning down.
Some of the very first scripting I did was for a MUD, back in the day! I really like that feeling of painting a very subjective map of a place in my head, just based on text.

Part of the joke of this project, for me, was treating an entire country like a room in a MUD (e.g. "You are in the United States. Exits are Canada, Mexico...")

You can already do this with the existing "loan" apps like Dave or Brigit in the US. They're not legally loans and there's no expectation or requirement to actually pay them back, and they can't pursue you for it or send it to debt collection. Just take out the "loan", call their customer service line and remove your bank account, and that's it. Free money.

I felt having `.` on a loop would be weird because it isn't working on an object

A few people said they want single statements on conditionals. If `=>` (or `::` as someone else suggested) forced the statement to be on the same line would you be fine? I can imagine people wanting to use it on it's own line like people use else without braces which leads to bugs
