Many people in my generation (GenX) were put at a permanent financial disadvantage for reasons not under their control. They entered the job market at one of several bad times, they never had a chance to build up a buffer before the next downturn hit, they had that buffer wiped out by a single bad decision (e.g. buying a house) made at the wrong time while others making equally bad decisions at better times cruised through, etc. This never seemed to happen to most people just a bit older or younger, but the phenomenon is back with a vengeance for GenZ. (BTW I personally seem to have been on the good side of such accidental timing, so I'm not saying this out of self-pity or self-interest.)

I think this is why so many younger people subscribe to "lottery thinking" - crypto, meme stocks, other kinds of "low probability but high payoff" choices. Or they go full nihilist and decide to blow whatever they have (or can grab) on transient experiences. There have always been many who do this, and it's not all bad - here of all places we should recognize that the related urge to join startups can lead to good things - but gambling should be a choice not something people feel is their only chance for a good life.

We have failed our young people by allowing real wages to stagnate even during the good times, by putting them through the college/student-loan wringer, by not moving to create a better safety net when the bad times came. And in other ways too, of course. I know through my daughter that GenZ folk are actually very resilient and mutually supportive, in their own ways of course, but the stress we've put them under is a bit unconscionable. Their reactions are natural. We older folks should show a bit more humility and grace.
I don't know about "living" in a terminal, but CLI/terminal tools are quite far from being out of the picture; if anything, I'd say they're thriving. It's not about one or the other; they're complementary, and I use both every day.

Personally, I use Firefox for browsing, PyCharm for coding, mpv/qimgv for media, and do pretty much everything else in the terminal. Terminal tools are incredibly versatile and composable in a way GUIs really can't match - for instance, I built a script that gets all the RAW files from my camera, converts them to jpg with darktable-cli, and optimizes them for filesize maintaining the same visual quality with jpeg-recompress, great for when I don't particularly care about editing each picture of a long hike. Next step will be to also push them to Google Drive, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. Similarly, the gopro-like camera I use for recording racing footage produces files with some weird filenames and terrible encoding which makes them enormous, so another script pulls the files, renames them to the date/time taken, and uses ffmpeg to transcode them to hevc, which saves several GB. Could I do this all from GUIs? Probably, but it'd involve a lot of hunting for files, dragging/dropping, and context switching between different programs. It's a lot more convenient to do it all in one short command.

There's also some amazing tools which just don't make much sense or would be quite contrived in GUI form. fd and fclones come to mind. AI is starting to be packaged as CLI tools, and it'll open up even more possibilities. Separate hiking pictures into their own directory? Sure! Find lecture videos mentioning a specific subject? No problem, this one doesn't mention the specific keyword you were looking for but it's also relevant at X timestamp!
I am not sure if this comment is satire or for real. 38k is poverty in london. Also there are no liveable 200k studios in acton according to rightmove. Perhaps in some very rundown areas but i cant find any.
Even if that was true... why should I care?
What do you think their margins look like on those things? Actually, I can't decide if I want to know..
I think the idea isn't for everyone to stop having kids, but to reduce reproduction down to something near replacement rate, so population growth slows or stops.

There's nothing inherent about society that requires more people than the current workforce to run things in 20+ years, though admittedly, generations are not of equal size (booms and busts in the birth rate over time) and there are often demographic issues as particular generations age out of the workforce.

I too support people's desire and right to make choices about reproduction, but at some point it just becomes irresponsibly selfish for a couple to have more than some replacement-level N number of kids. Not just for the planet, but at a smaller level, too, when considering a family's financial resources, etc. I wish more would-be parents would take this sort of thing into account before choosing (or unintentionally not-actually-choosing) to have a(nother) kid.
Such a great title, wasted on poor execution.

If you want to write satire, you've got to get your context in the first paragraph, not the sixth. Nobody is going to wade through six paragraphs of scene-setting trying to figure out what the joke is.
They are talking about the photon seive micro lenses that make up the whole lens. Each micro lens is the size of a virus. The "camera" is the size of a grain of salt.

I don't think this is intentional, but this feels like trigger bait for people dealing with a manic psychotic state. Like there were other things to compare it to other than an HIV virus. I'm sure it's exactly the same size, but you know, might as well say "the same size as a large Coronavirus wrapped in 5G Monkeypox". Also,

> The researchers believe their micro camera could be dusted on a surface, making anything a camera. (Perhaps not the most comforting thought, as Nerdist points out.)

I think this is really interesting technology. I was suspecting something similar would arrive after learning about making optical tensors that you print in 3D space and learning more about "photon sieves". This is a weird part of our future. There are really interesting new on a chip photonics methods to generate targetable full spectrum light out of a single laser light source.

2025 we'll see some really really crazy light processing products.

The author's American addressing, more or less, an American audience, and does make some mention of the others—Britain is covered extensively; the German perspective a bit, plus American perspectives on the terrible things they were doing to the Germans; the horror visited upon civilians in France and Belgium by the allies, and more.

Besides, is there any requirement that such a piece be utterly comprehensive before it can be so-titled?

It's not bizarre at all.
For myself, I’d never been on the receiving end of state power until Covid. It does, without a doubt, change how you think about politics, government, etc.
The SAT and the GRE are IQ tests. They have the same psychometric characteristics and reveal the same information about testees. They correlate with IQ tests at the same level that different IQ tests correlate with each other. Results from IQ tests explain very large amounts of the variance in SAT and GRE scores, and vice versa.

This is not a strictly necessary state of affairs - if large numbers of people who knew nothing about chemistry started taking the chemistry GRE, the strongest signal provided by the chemistry GRE would switch from "IQ" to "whether or not the person has ever studied chemistry".

But (1) the test would remain an IQ test once you ignored the very low scores of people who had no reason to take the test; and (2) in reality, people who have never studied chemistry don't take the chemistry GRE.
> For new developments, that's a risk inherent to every construction project.

Yes but I would argue that the level of risk involved is different between different energy options. $20B worth of solar and wind plus energy storage (including subsidies for home solar/storage and EVs with V2G capability) would carry less risk for this scenario than a single nuclear power plant.

I still think based on my back of the napkin calculations that solar + wind + storage (with the above mentioned subsidies) can be a compelling alternative to nuclear. It can be built faster, avoids the risk of a single large terrorist attack target, provides more energy independence for those who receive the subsidy for their own solar and storage, diversifies the grid, and avoids the need for a powerful government to control risky nuclear production facilities.

You can do a quick calculation and see that $10B of solar and $10B of storage will produce similar continuous base load power as the $20B Vogtle system.
If "punching a Nazi" is socially acceptable; then stomping the crunchy out of these fools, on scene and immediate, should be just as acceptable.
For starters stop electing conservative governments. The young are forming more and more of the electorate so they should organize, vote and start changing how things work. You want change, you have to control the game.
Short answer would be: sole solo developer experience (DX).

Longer answer: avoiding infrastructure setup - for those who has infrastructure it makes no sense, for those who knows how to run things in Docker and not need much beyond it - eliminates the need of getting familiar with Docker Compose.

Having php stay in memory should make performance benefits [and make sense for the project], but that's different story.
There is quite a bit of research and debate on this.

Took a while but after wading through the usual 'experts say X' here is the tldr;

Fewer infants in the pandemic cohort had one definite and meaningful word (76.6% vs 89.3%), could point (83.8% vs 92.8%) or wave bye-bye (87.7% vs 94.4%) at 12-month assessment. Adjusted log-binomial regression analyses demonstrated significant differences in social communication in the CORAL cohort compared with the BASELINE cohort: one definite and meaningful word (relative risk (RR): 0.86 (95% CI: 0.80 to 0.92)), pointing (RR: 0.91 (95% CI: 0.86 to 0.96)) and waving bye-bye (RR: 0.94 (95% CI: 0.90 to 0.99)).

> Zen 4 is also everywhere but not selling

I was shocked to learn today that B650 boards are available. That information didn't seem to make it anywhere near my usual technology news channels!

But... they start at $170 for a barebones motherboard. Having spent $200 not too long ago for a well-rounded mid-range X570 board, I find $170 for the starting line up quite steep. And it's unlikely builders want to pair their $300+ Zen 4 chips with the most basic board available.

The barebones right now would be $170 + $300 + $90 (16GB DDR5) = $560 before accounting for the rest of the parts (like a GPU).
> Nearly every mainstream programming language has "get one thing from memory, compute on it, put it back"

As far as I remember, non-von Neumann architectures (Harvard architecture being the textbook example) are ones where program code is not stored in the same memory as data (please correct me if I'm wrong). Since most of the modern programs don't rely on modifying code in execution, why would software for non-von Neumann architectures be any different from the current software for von Neumann architectures?
You might have missed it with how long the inflated market lasted, but in the last few months with the ethereum PoS transition and the threat of recession keeping gamers at bay they literally haven't been able to sell the 30-series cards for quite a bit under MSRP in what was a very sudden reversal from being above MSRP. Maybe a new series stole the demand but part of the reason they're holding out on lower tier SKUs is the 30-series is not going away fast enough, so there's a good chance that we're back in the 10-series vs 20-series day where there's so much used stock of the old series and a perception that nvidia is gouging to the extent that it hamepers sales of the new ones.

30 series launch MSRPs looked very good until it became clear you couldn't get them for that price, partly because they were having to partially roll back the 20 series price increases, so it wouldn't be impossible to see a repeat.
That's a depressingly accurate portrayal of the situation.

The authoritarianism won't come from the government, it will come from the people around you.

It's honestly terrifying how fast the media whipped up the craziness a year or two ago. It makes me wonder how much harder they shilled to shame people into the military during wartime. I remember reading Céline's Journey to the End of the Night and getting disgusted at how the state and media managed to screw that many people into literal suicide. It reminded me of how the Aztecs normalized human sacrifice to the point where people actually wanted to be sacrificed. There's something inherently violent about mass society

The next time the people around me suddenly start insisting on the same idea and foaming at the mouth, I'm dropping everything and moving somewhere where mass psychosis isn't the norm

The only thing keeping our society from totalitarianism is a benevolent media that's decided it isn't time yet. If they fire on all cylinders again and for a long enough period it's entirely possible
Eh. Most functional languages actually serialize operations pretty linearly in their default evaluation model, which is why they have explicit constructs for parallelism and concurrency.

There are some languages that are intended to parallelize implicitly, though. They tend to use keywords like "data-parallel" and "array language" to describe themselves. Futhark is a good example: https://futhark-lang.org/

>I'm sure these bodies can provide evidence that people who have paid their membership dues and been bestowed the title of "engineer" write safer and better code, right?

Having an engineering license means that you know the person when through a full college degree and/or could prove they have enough experience to compensate for it (not that easy btw). In Canada, it's not enough to just get a "major" in something related to engineering, they are a completely separate category of programs that have 1.5x the number of credits (>120 instead of 90) and are roughly equivalent to getting a Bachelor + master in other disciplines (it's 4 years, full-time, with full-time internships and/or classes during summers. 5 years if you want your summer off)

It also means that they can lose that title if they fuck up badly and get reported. You can't change the name of the company or create a new online account to escape that bad rep. The tone of the discussion is completely different when the person being pressured to sign something they shouldn't by a manager is risking their entire career over it.

Asking for an engineering stamp on something means that you know a specific person will be personally responsible for it. They can't get out of it with a cute letter about how they will investigate and take proper actions for the future.
My current employer doesn't allow "Engineer" in someone's title unless they have a PE and are in good standing with their professional society. The company employs a lot of especially Civil Engineers for what it does and making that a job title guarantee across the company, including those of us in software, goes a long way in sending the right message to clients.

I've gotten some strange resume questions about why my current resume doesn't use "Engineer" in the title, and I worry some potential readers might misconstrue why my title is different in my current role, but also I went to a "proper" Engineering school (and have an MEng), might have taken the PE if the Software PE existed when I graduated (and if I had thought it might help my salary prospects, which currently in this industry it likely wouldn't) and I have a deep appreciation for what the professional licenses and professional societies do for the other engineering fields. Sometimes I think the software industry could use more of that and it would be good for everyone.
I missed the believe part being explicitly mentioned, thabks for pointing it out. So I agree with Fussel then.
It does not take a state-level adversary to watch changes in a disk over time. It's a pretty basic cryptanalytic setting to operate in. You're talking about XTS vs. CTR; the problem with XTS is that it leaks in way that somewhat rhymes with what ECB does, and of course the much larger problem is that none of XTS, ECB, or CTR are authenticated --- an adversary with durable access to your disk won't bother trying to cryptanalyze it, because it's easier to compromise one of the executable binaries running on it by manipulating the ciphertext.

All of these are reasons why you want to avoid using full disk encryption outside of the narrow problem of your laptop getting stolen out of the back of your car or something.

> Are you really going to put the onus on private companies to ensure that no one ever has to move from their hometown?

Not at all. I do think companies should be prevented from firing people without generous severance and/or good reason.

If there was a good social safety net then I'd be open to that being relaxed a bit.

> A software companies only assets are the software and maybe a few laptops. These days many don’t even have servers.

There's also IP but I think that's missing the point. Getting paid something is better than nothing and many companies do have assets that would cover some/all of their outstanding payroll. At the moment, as far as I'm aware, employee payroll is fairly far down the list of creditors. I believe it should be first.

> Don’t get me wrong, we were guaranteed by our backers that we would be paid for every hour we worked and they kept their promise.

I'm glad your backers treated you and your colleagues generously. My preference is usually to bake in desired outcomes like this rather than relying on individual generosity.
Looking at the F150 lightning convincing people who typically might fall in a cohort skeptical of EVs is eye opening.

People will happily buy EVs if it fills the gap their present vehicles do and proponents of EVs will do well to remember that not everyone leads the same lifestyle, living in dense cities with lots of highway driving.

There's also a lot of automation to be done before a factory begins producing something. There are large capital costs, and even larger opportunity costs, to the really slow testing setups for all kinds of industrial goods.

For the area I'm most familiar with, batteries, a novel chemical composition for a battery can take 5-10 years, to hit market (leaning towards the latter end of the spectrum). IMO this could be brought down to 6-12 months with much lower capital costs.
> Right off the bat

This might not be a deliberate reference to Nagel (as mentioned in the article) but at least it's thematically appropriate.
I do most of my work in the terminal. I work on JavaScript/TypeScript projects. Soon Java, we'll see if I use the terminal for that.

I love streamlining my ZSHell and ViM experiences by tooling around and have produced some nice scripts and functions which are both living documentation and useful to share.

However, I wouldn't expect my team to maintain shell scripts as they're a bit esoteric.

I quickly navigate around and search my files, use version control, switch projects, run services, and open sites in my browser using terminal and Vim commands.

I have to switch away for debugging though.
