A lot of these are fine for web development jobs, but for other kinds of software EG AAA Games, Real Time, Control / Monitoring software with specific deployment environments, Payments processing etc.. these won't be applicable.

I am someone who's worked in a few of these industries over the years, let me list a few examples of the kind of places where the answers you get to these questions won't indicate goodness or badness of the employer.

"Do developers in your organization have full admin rights on their own computer?"
For security critical applications, often no. For obvious reasons. For payments software, the company may be compliance mandated to not give you full permissions either.

"Are developers free to choose and install the operating system?"
For games. Especially PC games, no. If you're developing for windows, you'll develop on windows, often with VC++. (maybe if you're using Unity, you're CI pipeline will produce builds for you)

"How long does it take to run the CI for new merge requests?"
In game development, it's not unheard of for a full release build to take an entire day. Games are complicated, often requiring a lot of libraries that are cached, but still need to be downloaded onto a fresh instance where a build will take place. This takes a long long time.

"How many different IT support organizations do you have. Where are they physically located?"
Mastercard has its IT support organization located in the US. Even for it's UK offices. Tickets still get solved quickly even at awkward times in the morning for GMT employees.

In short, most of these are only applicable to web development outfits. There's nothing wrong with that, web dev jobs are the majority of jobs. But just be aware that this is baised towards that.
> The definition of wealth here is just assets minus liabilities. An asset is anything you can sell for money. You can sell your house for money. Hence it is an asset. In fact, historically, it’s one of the assets with the best returns.

Yes, anything you can sell. But in the case of real estate how quickly that happens is subject to many things (e.g., current market conditions, price, etc.)

Furthermore, with real estate that asset must be maintained (e.g., maintenance, heated / cooled, property taxes, etc.) These liabilities add up (but aren't often considered when appreciation of the asset is calculated).

And of course, there's opportunity costs when it comes to home ownership.

I'm not arguing for or against ownership, only that as an asset it's complicated.
There are so many mesolithic defaults in email software. So many things have to be constantly reinvented. I really wish it weren't like that.

Things like Maddy (https://maddy.email/) aim to simplify all this. Really great potential, but they're still work in progress.
Great eye. It should be part of public education to teach kids to question both whether or not something is true, and, "who benefits from me believing this is true"?
If we wanted to build nuclear out like it was the 70's we needed to ensure that 3MI didn't happen in '79. This was the death of the industry in the US. Chernobyl buried it in a lead coffin 6 feet deeper, and Fukushima topped it with concrete. On top of that in the war in Ukraine with fighting around the nuclear power plants has made us that much more aware that the stable political environments that nuclear requires cannot be guaranteed.
I think your point is interesting and you could have made it without invoking Godwin’s Law.
I used this:

This makes sense for service emails and is similar to how push notification services like Pushbullet work, but can't work for humans. You need to be able to give your email to someone IRL so they can send you a message. Mutual approval would be possible in the "we just met and want to exchange emails" situation, but that too breaks when you legitimately want to give anyone the chance to message you.
Some notes on Novell Netware 2 – 1991's state of the PC server OS art
If you are using a class based programming language, determining what must be a class member function versus a pure function helps with separation of concerns at the interface design stage.

An example of the above with C# might be determining what is a class member function versus an extension method.

there is one blocklist im aware of that simply categorically blocks all their IPs, but thankfully none of the "big tech" players use it, so its really of no consequence to me
Woah this gave me a memory flashback to around 2002 when GTA Vice City came out. Some French guy made all-vice-city.fr.st (that link doesn't work now). It was made in Flash and was a map of vice city showing all the locations of stuff.

Anyway, thanks for the memory and cool map :)
My friends and I do something similar.

We text the group- gym 1, gym 2 etc as we start our workout. Anyone can say “proof” which means we have to send a selfie. If you don’t do 3 gyms in a week, there is some penalty which no even remembers or enforces.
Looks useful! Do you have a way to validate that the data was copied correctly and entirely? If not, you might want to consider integrating data-diff for that - https://github.com/datafold/data-diff
> Python is and has been a go to language for writing vim plugins. We've seen its limitations in the vim community. The same is true for Javascript and Typescript (which I personally love).

Can you link to any example plugins that are written in either python or js/ts and are considered slow? I'm not doubting you, I'm just not a big vim user, so I'm not familiar with many plugins.

> NeoVim picked Lua and every Lua based plugin I've seen has been extremely impressive in its speed.

I'm sure you're impressed by the perceived speed, but I don't believe you have any real (i.e. data-backed) basis for comparison there. If you do, I'd love to see it.

But to counter your anecdotal evidence with another, Sublime Text only supports Python for its plugin system, and the performance of every plugin I have ever used has been extremely fast. Besides network stuff, I've never even noticed plugin operations, since they all seem to finish instantly.

Easy solution, get a p.o. box in a higher cost of living location, and use that as your 'business' location, base your pay off that rate. Make sure it's somewhere the company doesn't have physical locations.

Deceptive you say? Well, why do you even need to disclose where you live in the first place? Everything you need can be done remotely, again you can get a forwarding postal mail address from anywhere if they need to drop you snail mail.
That's a cool idea. Using the telemetry to find (unusually) faulty hardware and reaching out to the customers to proactively offer a replacement could be some next level customer service.
Dunno if you are still interested in hearing what helped others, I suppose not everybody has to like running, but I know that I learned to like both seimming and running at some point when before it was dreadful.

* It helped me to learn a lot about running form, which would make going for a run interesting because there are so many things to observe about one‘s body and form while doing it. Like honing a difficult skill. Same for swimming.

* Finding an intellectual interest in learning about running helped me as well. If I want to do something for hours, I better be really interested in it… (e.g. Daniel Lieberman‘s work / Born to Run / watching races / learning about how athletes today can run so much faster than before, ultra running,…)

* Running without shoes sometimes is a much richer sensory experience and not boring at all.

* I still way overestimated what a proper pace would be for me, and only started slowing down and enjoying running more recently. I know the feeling of feeling shredded the next day, but that means the workout was too hard. It took me over a year to go from a pandemic/work induced low-point to enjoying 5k runs regularly, and I underestimated how slow and steady the change would be.
Can‘t emphasize enough how easy the easy runs should be. I can now enjoy 5k at a slow pace even though I could run 20k at a faster pace if I wanted to on any day.

* Finally, I think running is better with friends. [cf. Daniel Lieberman‘s work]
Fine, will elaborate:

> Regular consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with diets that are lower in fat

why is this necessarily a good thing?

> Regular consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with diets that are higher in vitamins and minerals for adults, adolescents, and children

is the subset of vitamins and minerals and the corresponding RDAs that they look at responsible for driving meaningful outcomes or do they just pick whatever's convenient?

> Regular consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with a greater likelihood of meeting recommended nutrient intakes

again, recommended nutrient intakes is very convenient considering they're derived from how nourished a population is, i.e: as a nourishment goes down so do the recommended levels.

> Consumption of breakfast cereals is associated with higher daily milk intake

Only thing so far that might actually be causal to health. Probably not though because the frankenmilk we consume today is not the raw milk we were consuming a century ago.

> Consumption of presweetened breakfast cereals does not increase the total daily energy intake in children’s diets

calories in/ calories out is not as useful as made out to be, there's quite little wrong with consuming a lot of calories if those calories are well utilised

> Consumption of breakfast cereals does not increase the total daily sodium intake

Sodium is an essential electrolyte/signaling ion. Too much is bad in the presence of insulin insensitivity. Too little is really bad if the individual is metabolcially sound for the most part.

> Consumption of presweetened breakfast cereals does not increase total daily sugar intake of children and adolescents

second one so far that might actually be a really good proxy

tl;dr: no idea how many of these are useful proxies for things that actually matter
> In addition to providing an important source of vitamins and minerals, breakfast cereals are also potentially important sources of antioxidants and phytoestrogens

Always make sure to get enough estrogen in your breakfast.
The reality is that the market for good developers is so competitive that they could just walk out and find 10 other places with better answers to these questions.

That may have been the case in certain parts of the world for the past few years. The next year or two might bring some rude awakenings for mid-to-senior devs who are only a few years in and have never seen things any other way.

I was trying to work out how many of these questions a candidate could ask me - with the attitude implied by the tone and phrasing in the article - before I immediately terminated the interview and no-hired them. They might get away with one or two of the ones with reasonable underlying points with the benefit of the doubt about the attitude problem but I doubt they'd get past that. If they really can get hired at 10 other places instead then good for them but somehow I doubt that would actually be true for this kind of person. No-one wants a toxic prima donna on the team.

But you should also be well-informed when a company who was founded on a principle of "Don't Be Evil" turns full circle and becomes the evil it warned us about.

LOL!

About that "Don't Be Evil" thing --- that was the warning. It was a marketing pitch to distract from the fact that evil was what they had in mind all along.

The only reason I carry a cellphone with me in many situations is just in case of an emergency. I wouldn’t take it for walks, to the store, out to eat, and definitely not while driving, but only for the safety of myself and others around me, it could save someone’s life. It’s the only feature of a cellphone that I need, everything else is secondary.

That they can’t care enough to address this issue is reason enough to swear off google completely. They must be so very cold-hearted, fish stinks from the head and all that.
Of course we can, but good luck getting people to use it. They'll keep using what everyone else uses.
As for the UK, note also that the highest temperature during the 1976 heatwave in the UK was 35.9 °C.

We've just had over 40 °C here – nearly 5 °C more, half a century later.

40 °C and 36 °C feel quite different.

>You can send to someone @gmail.com that you've never messaged before and it won't get rejected. It will probably end up in their Junk folder.

That happens even if you send from @gmail to @gmail. Well, it happened to me not long ago.

But I've mostly been using lesser known email providers and I haven't noticed any problems.
Agreed. It's the increasing difficulty in getting things delivered to the big providers making it harder rather than spam.

At this rate, eventually we'll have a handful of mail senders (Mailchimp, Sendgrid), and a handful of mail receivers (Google, MS).
I haven’t used druid, but I’m on the hunt for a good option too. What were your impressions with iced leaving aside the early stage changes?

>I also had this misconception that it was a “universal alphabet,” but apparently even linguists have to learn subsets of IPA in order to properly pronounce phonemes in different languages.

What exactly do you mean above? If "subsets of IPA" are enough to "properly pronounce phonemes in different languages" then IPA is indeed a "universal alphabet".

More or less, the same way different subsets of Unicode cover most/all languages, which makes it a universal encoding.

Did you meant to imply that IPA would be a universal alphabet only if all of it was needed to cover each language - and e.g. no IPA-letters were redundant for covering this or that language?
Not seeing anyone talking about email lists, now you need to buy a mailchimp type service, but many mailchimp type companies ban political customers if your not on their team.

Setup a private listserv or mailman use to be easy, but now you need to have a smtp provider in front, or you will quickly get blacklisted. Even then, get too big, and you will trigger some email email providers.
Agreed. I'm not motivated by punishment, especially arbitrary and voluntary punishment. And I'd have to bet $1000 per workout to even feel the financial pain, and at that point, it would also be directly conflicting with my financial goals. The whole made up agreement seems like it would take a lot of willpower for me to keep.

What motivates me to exercise is to focus on the tangible benefits I get from exercise. The main one: I feel great after a good workout. I also love to use running and swimming as excuses to explore new places, which gives me another immediate tangible benefit.

One of the best runs of my life was during pandemic lockdowns in Spain when we were finally allowed to leave the house after 3 months, but only as long as we were exercising. The easiest excuse for me to get a change of scenery was to run a 15k (I had been running 5ks in circles on my roof, so I was in shape). I have never enjoyed a long run so much.
But you agree it is an asset which is the whole point the excruciating article is trying to get across.
It sounds like you are relatively new to running. Have you had any problems with your knees? I have friends that want to start jogging but are hesitant to start. I've suggested walking instead.
Just did a test with my own mailserver hosted on a small-ish local vps.

Outlook: OK (had to bother with this one when I started out)
Google: OK
iCloud: OK

I have a pristine track record and not a single byte of outgoing spam so I cannot attest how easy is it to get back into the game after an incident. I do agree with the larger point being made here. It is clear some kind of anti racketeering legislation would be the only fix. Sadly, currently there is zero will from both the EU and the US to fix any of these blatant anti competitive issue on the internet.
One comes with all processes & is standard. What standards if any would we use if any for holding config in services? gRPC with config defined in app-specific/bespoke protobuf schemas? Custom OpenAPI per app?

I ask myself what is thr known quantity that will have the nest tools & support & third flexibility. Given how vast the support base for env vars, how well known they are, and how miscellanious & varied & small-fry & specific most alternatives would be, it feels like a lock.

The only thing I can think if as better & more scriptable is directories of small files. 9p esque filesystems. Cause wow are we good at managing filesystems. But we're at risk of having too many ways to use them & too many tools to have a clear & shared forward path.
> I don't mind doing some paperwork or paying a fee to prove I'm legit.

Then how about this: The big email companies all declare one day that any newly registered domain (with an MX record) needs to post a bond for good behaviour in escrow somewhere. If any of them find the domain being used to send spam, they can slash the bond (sending it to some charity or something).

This has the advantage that it doesn't affect any existing senders (so there's no one to complain about it), and it makes transparent the cartel-like power that these companies have over email. Perhaps, to democratise the process a bit, the ITU could organise a ballot (one vote per country) to elect 5 companies/non-profits who would have this bond-slashing power.

Unfortunately to implement something like this, they'd also probably have to demand that DKIM signing become mandatory (so there are cryptographic proofs of any evidence of spamming), and this sort of global consensus / money processing scheme would probably end up being built using a blockchain, whether that was a good idea or not.
By the way, if you're looking for the perfect fork, may I recommend the MSR Alpine tool fork? I bought it out of curiosity about reading an article about how it was designed. Was skeptical at first, but it does have great mouth-feel as well as a couple of other neat quality-of-life things. I use it for daily (non-camping) use btw.

Does programming attract a higher proportion of introverted or shy people? Are programmers more comfortable in front of a computer than in a room of people? I'm sure we all have anecdotal experiences that confirm or refute that stereotype.

(Note: the terms shyness and introversion are often used interchangeably, sometimes mistakenly, but they are also closely related for some individuals.)

In a different context, I've seen YouTubers (like the link posted here) confess on camera that they are introverts or shy, but still reveal about their lives and continue to talk confidently in front of the camera. Behaviour that might contradict our perception of introversion or shyness. (I presume an 'invisible' audience of thousands of viewers on a YouTube channel is much less daunting that talking to a real audience in front of you.)

If you find this topic interesting, here's another video: Can you be an introvert movie director? (it features the director David Sandberg who directed 'Lights Out', 'Annabelle Creation', and 'Shazam') https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEyFH-uzlGg (note: this features a very brief NSFW horror clip).

As per the paradox of tolerance, targeting fascism is never harassment but always a necessary act of compassion. There's no contradiction here.
I like a lot of what’s being discussed here. One thing to consider is a similar problem I am facing is people trying to hack into a login page. We see thousands of requests per minute from different IPs… many from VPS, some from obviously hacked TVs/devices. We could implement an exponential back off on abusive IPs but detection requires observation of action that action could result in a compromised account… so another idea is we simply block large ranges of know bad IPs from blacklists… I think this is similar to the email sending issue… it’s not fair and I think a solution could be some kind of “block chain” - make it expensive to login… make it expensive to send an email… but I’m not sure and for email it’s way harder because you need agreement from the oligopoly of email providers… not sure what the solution is
Easy -- that my laptop or desktop just has 2-4 thin, high-quality USB-C ports that I can plug anything into.

I can plug 2 devices in of the same type, without worrying about there being only 1 port of that type. I don't have to hunt for which port is where. I don't have to worry that this one model of laptop is missing that one type of port because there's only space for 7 on the side with the ports.

I could keep going...
When I was young, in the late 90s, supermarkets here in the UK had an entire aisle just with breakfast cereals. Now my local supermarket has about six feet of them and that's it. Crazy how an entire food sector has just entirely collapsed. Literally the only people I see eating cereal now are doing it ironically (Momofuku etc.)
I grew up in a house with a computer, and as soon as I showed any interest in it my parents did everything they could to get me training with it.
