The fact that some of the letters are at different "depths" makes this hard on my eyes, since it gives an "impossible geometry" look. For three different depths, see Y (forward), N (middle), and M (back). Look at the bottom of the character. This seems to come from a requirement that the top and bottom of each letter is on the same horizontal line.

Find a small project that you're interested in and check out the developmental discussion channels to see if there's any way you can lend a hand. Starting with trying to find complex coding tasks in large bureaucratic projects is setting yourself up for failure IMO.

For example, https://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.io/contribute.html shows a few different levels of involvement in one project I maintain. That's not me saying you should work on this project specifically though; you'll want to find projects that you're enthusiastic to learn about.
I think you’re confusing deaths of all causes vs deaths at work. Like I said in another comment, the Qatari construction firms expect deaths at work, so much so they asked someone I know to include it in custom made accounting software.

Improving working conditions vs letting workers die in Qatar is a curve they resolve towards letting workers die.

It would be interesting to compare working at Qatari construction vs other dangerous jobs.
I bebop back and forth between Blender and Resolve and, yes, Blender has made some great improvements but I STILL have sound sync issues on 3.3. Otherwise, Blender is pretty good - but I prefer Resolve overall.

One thing that Blender has over Resolve on Linux is the ability to import ANY mp4 source video. Stupid licensing issues prevent Resolve (and even the paid Studio version) from doing that.

Central bank interest rates don't really matter much for investors or borrowers. Typically investors would use the 10y treasury yield as an approximate risk free rate and apply a risk premium to that calculate their required ROI. Central bank interest rates only matter to banks.

For the last decade 10y treasury yields have ranged from around 1.5% - 3%. And as recently as 2018 they were around 2.8% - 3.1%. Today the 10y treasury yields around 4.2% which is meaningfully higher, but I think people are vastly over stating the impact of this. It's also quite possible the 10y yield is currently peaking and will move down over the next year. The long-end of the yield curve typical moves with inflation + economic growth expectations. I'm not committed to any side of this argument but I will say there is good reason to believe inflation pressures are likely to trend lower globally over the next several decades because of global demographic trends and slower rates of productivity growth. This is why interest rates probably haven't been as recklessly low over the last decade as many people in 2022 like to suggest - they've needed to be as low as they have been to prevent deflation and economic contraction.

Similarly to investors, companies don't borrow at the Fed funds rate, they borrow at a premium to what the treasury market yields. So while corporates will need to borrow at a slightly higher rates to fund growth going forward, I again think people are vastly over stating the impact of 1-2% higher borrowing costs.

That said, it's totally reasonable to expect margins to fall as industries mature - especially when there is a lot of competition in that industry. I do believe cloud margins will contract slightly over the next decade, but I'm not convinced pricing is in a bubble either. Firstly, investors (collectively) are far from stupid. If you think the market is wrong and that you're the only one to see these risks then you probably haven't been humbled by the wisdom of markets enough. Cloud company will be growing for many years to come and valuations today imo do already allow for some margin contraction. But we've seen this all before... As OP mentioned SSL certs used to be ridiculously expensive, now you can get them for free. I personally remember having to pay several hundred dollars a year for a VPS, dedicated IP and SSL cert back in the mid 2000s. Hell, it cost about a $100 a year just for a domain + decent webhosting back then. I mean if pricing is in a bubble today then you should have seen it a decade ago...

Finally, when it comes to mortgages obviously it's important to ensure you can afford your repayments even if the unexpected happens, but as a long-term borrower inflation is your friend. Even if real wage growth for software engineers decline the likelihood of significant nominal wages declines for software engineers is practically zero. As an example while the real wages of cleaners and factory workers may have declined in real terms over the last few decades, in nominal terms they're making more than ever, and that's really all that matters in terms of servicing debts.
They make it nearly impossible to avoid snap. Every couple of upgrades, they unconditionally run a script that forcibly removes the Firefox deb and installs the snap. Nothing I've tried has been able to prevent this. It seems to be hard coded somewhere.

So it's kind of like saying "well you don't have to stay in the pit" except you keep pushing me in the pit every time I climb out.
So people are forced to like paying taxes?! I guess these days words mean whatever is the best straw man rather than their dictionary denotation or typical connotation.

Anyway So the nefarious scheme is found out, cat is out of the bag: Anyone who dislikes EVs will be forced to take bags of antidepressants until they are at at least ambivalent to EVs, just as is done with taxes. /s

Your comment points keep returning to cost and user experience completely ignoring any counter points brought up. What is the goal of those comments since they’re just repeating the same argument while ignoring any counterpoints people bring up?

Go up the comments, as said before it’s a typical new tech trajectory to start out expensive and rapidly decrease in cost. Same with user experience. Not acknowledging, let alone accounting for that, is baffling in an assessment of how logical future plans are.

As before, no one forces anyone to like change but change is happening, and for the better. I personally find EVs to be a far more pleasant experience than ICE cars. many people agree based on the demand for them. one can pretend everyone dislikes them, it’s totally not true but oh well.

The US was setup as republic for reasons that are becoming more and more apparent. We used to select representatives for a town or locality that would then group together and select representatives for the next level, etc. Much of this was due to communication limitations at the time, but there's something to be said to saying "I trust Bob here to make good decisions on my behalf" instead of everyone injecting themselves into every aspect of everything.

That's an incredible paycut, I'm sorry. I definitely had to hunt, most small startups offered me about 60% of what I made. I finally found one which offered me 85% of what I made. While still significant for me, it wasn't a deal breaker.
it doesn't use 150w more, if you want to be concise be concise about a facet, talk about the workload and the power consumption per workload, most computers sit idle and as commenters are pointing out AMD has 2x the power draw at idle, amd doesn't seem to respect the pl1 power limits per Ars and is less power efficient for those who care about power efficiency, run the pl1 at 125W and intel burns less and performs the same for less power draw while working, on a 2 node disadvantage. And being concise about the cores requires you to talk about the core types, 2/3 of the 24 cores are little cores, one could say intel is performing the same with 1/2 the equivalent big cores, 8 vs 16 on the top part. It's more nuanced.
Except for the fact that hosting Wikileaks and Parler with the content in question was always legally contentious.

I think the difference is the interface.

The interface to the shared-use datacenter, if you're lucky, is a spreadsheet that declares the static resources you own and a remote hands guy that can tackle things beyond the capabilities of your remote KVM. If you need more capacity you need to work with the datacenter folks to order physical machines that might show up in a few months.

The interface to the in-house cloud is an API. In most instances, developers are completely abstracted away from the physical infrastructure and don't need to take a lock on some human in the datacenter to get their work done.
garbage article filled with propaganda from FED who are lobbied by Commercial Real Estate investors.

CREs are losing their ass over companies canceling/downsizing their office presence - all thanks to remote work.

If you ask who this article benefits, then it becomes clear their motivation for study.

Is there any major difference in licensing requirements between Florida and Texas? I can imagine that if the housing code was dramatically different, then allowing contractors from other states could be an issue.
Bookmarked to watch later, but being familiar with the Wolfram take on similar issues,

I am curious if there is any "serious" discussion within this domain, about the simulation hypothesis.

Naively, it certainly *seems* like a lot of the properties of our own universe are consistent with those one would expect from a simulated one... I am thinking specifically of eg uncertainty and "local reality"; and, absolute limits on the speed of information propagation; and even perhaps general relativity—many such things seem naturally emergent from a computed universe.

I have found it puzzling that this is not more generally discussed; I'm not sure if that's because it's considered obviously false, or, obviously true, or, irrelevant ("metaphysics") when the task at hand is just characterization of what we're living with.
I think this is very likely. They bought Lennart, and Github, afterall.
> You're not exactly risking your life and limb

You are risking opportunity elsewhere.

Let's say your options are working as a developer for a random Fart App startup or a government job sweeping floors that has been around for centuries. Which are you going to choose? If they both offer $50,000 per year, the choice is clear: The government job. It is the one that is almost certain to have more longevity.

But if the Fart App startup increases their offer to $300,000, well, now it's a harder choice. The startup still isn't likely to last, but with $300,000 in your pocket you're not so concerned about it disappearing into the void on a whim. And if on the unheard of chance they do make it as a lasting company that spans centuries then you're in a really great position.

> Demand for software isn't going anywhere

Thing is, it does crater approximately every 10 years, as we've observed since software first became a thing. It is more entrenched now than it ever was, so there is some reason to think this time is different, but the market is pricing in the risk regardless. The market can be wrong, but the market likes to be prepared.
As somebody who has lived in that neck of the woods, I would want nuclear weapons and war in general to stay very, very far from my shores.

Equally I would want the current combatants to take a step back and have a grown up discussion about NATO expansion, security guarantees, ending the bloodshed - you know the boring nitty gritty stuff. I'm not dumb enough to cheer on a nuclear strike, regardless of who launched it.
Yerp. As a former *nix admin, around the time that "DevOps" became a term, I read it as "system administrator, who also now has to fix developer code." Which, honestly, was already part of the job at a lot of places I've worked, owed to the age old problem of people who "test" something on their weird personal desktop environment, then hand it off and shrug off any questions with "well, it works on my desktop". That said, the part that I found offensive was that I was doing 2 jobs, but only getting paid for one.

Then came DevSecOps. Around that time, I switched to just Security, and while I miss the ability to make and push changes to hundreds of thousands of machines to get things done, I don't miss any of the pressure or blame that automatically got lumped onto the sysadmin shoulders every time anything went wrong, and the complete lack of appreciation of all the times nothing went wrong, that were entirely the result of a tireless, efficient systems administration team.
Assuming you are making it to final rounds, 40 interviews, at an average of 6-8 per company, means you have been rejected by 5-7 companies. If you are aiming for only FAANG-equivalents then competition for the open positions is obviously intense, and your experience isn't too out of the ordinary. I'd wager the best programmer on the planet will have a <50% success rate at leetcode-style interviews. Remember that you are aiming for $300K-500K/yr salary at age 32. That puts you in the top 0.01% of the global population. It isn't meant to be easy.

You have two paths forward. Either double down, do more coding prep, more mock interviews, keep applying, and eventually you will get that offer. Or aim for one tier lower and find a smaller company or startup that is a good fit for your skill set.

this. Worth interviewing with someone you know and see how you do.
I interviewed a gent once who was very smart but talked my ear off, including cutting me off multiple times. After 45 mins of this, I stopped him and bluntly gave him this feedback. He was stunned and then thanked me as he realized he had been failing interviews because of this and no one had told him. I didnt hire him, but he was very appreciative and he took the feedback for his next batch.

Who competes with Amazon? (Ebay?)

The fundamental problem with Amazon is as with Standard Oil when they bought the railway companies. Amazon marketplace & Amazon warehouse/delivery/logistics should not be one company.

There is a massive opportunity for a new marketplace to compete with Amazon; because Amazon has very little trust amongst both buyers and sellers alike - but where else is there?

Since 1980, college tuition price tag has increased by 169%, while wages have increased only 19% (inflation adjusted).

At the same time, the internet contains everything you’ll ever be taught in college, sans labs and professors, and the quality of on-campus education has not improved 8x (price tag/wages gain needed to warrant) over its 1980s predecessor. You don’t learn 8x as much or 8x faster. You might be 8x more distracted, if anything.

It makes perfect sense. Also, Freakonomics did a great 4-part series this year (circa spring 2022) on this exact topic, and anybody who cares to take a closer look should check it out for expert opinions from deans and economists.
The gap between intuition and science is the math. To be "science", you need some kind of formal model that takes a state as input and returns a prediction about that state in the future.

Science is most interesting when it gives you something non-intuitive. Intuition says "all things come to a rest", which was the best science did for a few thousand years. Eventually somebody ditched intuition and said, "Actually, objects in motion tend to remain in motion. You're just confused because friction is everywhere."

You can try to re-train your intuition to match, but a lot of science toys are fun because you never really achieve that. Think about the Newton's Cradle toy, with the clacking hanging balls. The math is simple, but it's fun because it's nonetheless surprising.

If you work with the formulas long enough, you can see the patterns and re-train your expectations. Weird games like the Quantum Eraser are old hat to physicists, who are not surprised by the results -- but only because they've worked with the math enough to see where the formulas go. Their intuition never really trains itself to expect that in daily life, because daily life never works like that.

They can go from the formulas to expectations of experiments, but not the other way around, because the experiments are so unlike daily life. There's nothing to compare it to. It's hard enough with slightly unexpected phenomena like the Newton's Cradle; it's impossible with things that are truly outside of anybody's experience ever.

I'm not sure I see what you're describing, but it's unlikely to be gravitational lensing. That requires truly massive gravitational fields and distances to have a noticable effect (eg. large clusters of galaxies).

It's probably more likely due to gravity causing stars/dust to drift towards each other, causing clumps and voids.
Do those different breeds of engineers work in one team or in separate organizational branches?

The problem the term 'devops' is addressing, the way I understand it, isn't that of insufficient individual jack-of-tradesness, but that of too much separation between (internal) organisations. It should be perfectly possible to build a "devops" team from deeply specialized experts and turning it into a job description seems quite a stretch to me.

But you might actually want some jack-of-trades types nonetheless, because those isolated organizations weren't completely without merit: they are good at solving that problem affectionately called the bus factor. A single ops guy in a devops team is a single point of failure and the mitigation preparation of keeping some of the not-so-ops peers sufficiently in the loop will be much more dependent on organic motivation than the counterpart in a specialist company branch. There, substitutability would be much easier to ensure with formal process.
