I've noticed there are phases, where something twigs us that creates an image of what we want to become (the dream), and then the work we do in pursuit of becoming. It becomes a habit, where it's just something you do when you aren't doing anything else. Then, in time, there's a necessary point where you have to choose between comparing yourself to the image in the dream and, knowing what you do now with some experience, letting the naive belief go, and pursuing the thing only because you enjoy doing it, and for no other reason. That purity of intent can only come after you have some experience. Then one day a long time later, someone out of nowhere says, "wow, I want to be able to do that like you one day."
> The interview process is not about selecting the best candidates but about selling your company so the best candidates are actually willing to even entertain talking to you.

I recently started a new job and interviewed with multiple companies in the process. At the end, I was still interviewing with two companies. One of them put me in a room with two devs who went slightly hard ball on me and seemed to want to try and catch me on not being good enough. The other put me in a room with a member of leadership who wanted to discuss a role he thought would be a good fit for my profile and then have a casual chat about the organization and the challenges.

Both wanted to give me an offer. Guess where I ended up working.
I'd wager it's simply that there are more ways than ever to alchemize something into a source of income, so you can always find people looking for that angle in any field these days.

I get a judgmental vibe from OP though that rubs me the wrong way.

One, because they came up with a rather negative interpretation of other people.

Two, because I'm reminded of gamers complaining about some game mod developers deciding to charge money for their work. It's like an employer telling me I should be motivated by passion aka the money is shite.
That's an interesting question. I've been meaning to write something about it for ages. Here's a brief:

People, vision and ways of working. With time, I've developed my values and principles that makes me practically unemployable if I don't turn a blind eye to some of them. Alternatively, I could start my own company.

* Small, empowered, and trully cross-functional team;
* Highly collaborative in ensebles;
* Unified flow with limited WIP;
* No middle-management;
* Little-to-no hierarchy;
* No titles or levels;
* Team-set salaries;
* Organic team growth;
* Test-driven;
* Trunk-based;
* Continuous delivery;
* No perverse incentives;
* …

Like XP, they complement each other. So, in order to actually reap the benefits of a practice, other practices ought to be adopted too. Many of the cargo-culted practices and problems fade away when doing things fundamentally different. And very few places challenge the status quo (especially when it comes to management). Forming a (real) team is very hard, and very fragile. Like trust, which I didn't mention above, as I believe it to be a natural consequence of building such an environment.

Needless to say that it is pretty much impossible to find a place like this. Although, with some compromises on my values and principles, I consider the current company I'm working with way above average; granted, I helped shape the culture, which seems to be diluting/changing now as the compromised values are missed. The company is trending towards mediocrity in that sense.

>>Their markups are also a little nuts.

A store manager explained to me as a difference between "Every day low price" model and "High-Low Pricing" model, and it turns out different people have different preferences (and neither model alone guarantees high profitability - execution matters in either approach :). Apparently numerous retailers in USA tried to switch from High-Low pricing to Everyday low pricing model... and consumers HATED it and abandoned it in droves (look for JC Penney as the case study). Basically, we talk the good talk, but we want our juicy sales.

>>their auto department that makes it a priority to overcharge and over diagnose ignorant drivers

Agree, BUT, I have not yet found a chain that doesn't. Honestly. 20 years ago I became interested in Rallying as a motosport, learned a bit about cars, and have not had trust or faith in a car shop since. I've been to massive national chains, local franchises, mom and pop shops, and everything in between. They all talked the good talk, and they've all done horrible things in the background. I have STORIES :D . And if you tell me that you have found an honest guy... chances are, you just don't know you've been fooled yet.

Business model demands it. As above - we talk the good talk, but we'll actually go to the scammy guy that quotes us 3 days and $1000, not the honest guy who quotes us 7 days and $2000. We'll complain when scammy guy then actually takes 9 days and $2500... and then immediately switch to another guy who quotes us low time and low prices.

So it again comes down to - there's a lot of anecdotes and perceptions, but it's hard to get hard statistics that can guide a rational decision.

I have the same experience... writing SQL code. When I'm programming, say in Python, I still see, in my mind, some manipulation of abstract concepts.

When I write SQL, it feels like the code pops in my consciousness magicallyfor me to lay down. This also means that I can very much explain and justify why I wrote Python code the way I wrote it, but I can't do that for SQL, I can just show that it works.

I am experienced in both, and I feel I write both with the same ease, I don't think it's due to me struggling with programming.

> Why not just to drill more holes in the side edges of device instead of making side edges empty?

Because people have largely stopped using physical connectors and instead use Bluetooth and/or WiFi ones today.

There are exceptions, but those exceptions are fixed with USB-C hubs, which again are just $30 in my experience and give you all the USB-A ports you need.

I personally still prefer wired mouse (no batteries is a big advantage), but even my active digitizer pen is bluetooth, as are my Gamepads (4 players+ support). I still use physical headset (mic/speaker), and so I still try to buy headset jacks. Then HDMI.

My Phone is mostly WiFi connections for most relevant tasks.

USB is enough for the errant DVD-drive, USB-drive, RJ45 Ethernet.

HDMI is all I use aside from that.

> Also I do not want to carry laptop to a service just to change battery.

If you have a screwdriver, then you can change the batteries yourself on most of these laptops, including the Dell XPS that is being discussed in this topic. See the guide manual I posted earlier, its really not that hard.

The key is reading the service manual _BEFORE_ buying a laptop. There's many hundreds of laptop models out there. Many suck, but many others have good service guides and good service design that can be done with just a screwdriver.

Why so personal? I’m not saying I would do it. After reading victim stories I don’t think I’d have the heart to take a nickel from these people. I’m just saying that there are enough people out there with no morals who would do it and would probably be pretty good at it. Go on Nigerian twitter and you’ll find people bragging about these kind of scams all the time. Even America in the late 90s had all those stock pump and dump call centers (see Boiler Room) so I don’t think there’s a society where there aren’t people willing to do pretty terrible things.

Another problem with relying on GPA is it is easily gamed. Parents and students can pressure teachers and administrations since so much is reliant on it. And a 4.0 at one school may not be the same at another school.

I understand some people "test poorly" but the truth is, if you actually know the material well, you'll test just fine in most cases. We can also coach students on how to approach testing. Other ideas are to break the test into various sessions with different admins to limit cheating potential and to take an average of the scores (or some other method) for each subject.

I guess my point is - make test results the metric to remove all bias. Change how we approach testing and preparation.

>> It feels like every time someone gets into a new field now, there's always the expectation they'll 'go pro' or turn it into a day job. Every open source project or website gets treated as the potential basis for a company, every creative seems to think they'll become a full time artist or creator, every writer wants a book deal or mailing list or whatever...

This sounds like "Availability bias" to me. You're judging this phenomenon based on what you see, and what you see is likely to be the loudest people who are trying to get attention, and succeed to some extent. You aren't seeing the person who does hobbies and tells no one (does it just for themselves) and hence you're assuming they aren't there.

Lots of people write blogs because they enjoy writing. They dont pitch it or try to become influencers or try to gain followers. Similarly I take amazing photos that rarely go beyond my phone. The photos are for me. I know someone that wrote seven books, non published!

I think many of us have stale conceptions of Java formed decades ago. But some time ago, Java started evolving quickly and now isn’t that far off from Kotlin. When Kotlin started, that was not the case.

People still think of Java as stuffed full of wordiness, slow startup, garbage collection seizing up code, and long compile times, but that’s all in the past.

> Some people think that what happens at elite schools is what makes their graduates so successful...

Thanks for this comment. I think this is really important. I see so many families make huge sacrifices to try to get their kids into top colleges when they really dont seem like the type of kids to be elite class people. I grew up in a country where this didn't really exist so am a bit baffled by the whole game. I'm happy to take it easy and get a regular college, but worry my kids might miss out on some pot of gold.
The CO2 for the fuel is pretty easy to calculate. It's the 2-4kg or so per litre (depending on where it's sourced). We'll call the carbon footprint of a generator negligible as it's mostly Aluminum (20kg CO2e/kg new or 1kg/kg recycled and steel (2kg/kg), it's maybe 10kg/kW so max 200kg. It will be lost in our error for the dirty fuel source once we use 50kg or so of fuel. The carbon cost of keeping some fuel out of circulation is hard to quantify, and tanks are essentially free so I will call the capacity cost 0.

~3kg/kg for fuel is really convenient because when combined with ICE efficiency, it's about 1kg/kWh

This https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-much-co2-emitted-manufac...
says every kWh of NMC causes 2-16t of emissions. I'm sceptical this applies in 2022 given that $130 only buys 5t of coal, but we'll use it as indicative.

So for our generator we have 200P + 4E + 0C where P, E and C are power, total energy used and hours of capacity respectively.

If we assume 2C charge rate and 4000 cycle life, our battery is 2400 * max(P/2, C) + 2400/4000E

So E = 600C + 6/40E
Assuming P is small compared to C, then any capacity used less than ~550 times in the 8 or so years it lasts is better off as a generator.

This is a function of the carbon intensity of battery though. At 200kg (https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/bitstream/10044/1/79316/2/Revi...) it's about 50.
Third line of the article

> No undecidable problem can ever be solved by a computer or computer program of any kind. In particular, there is no Turing machine to solve an undecidable problem.

This clearly not true. The halting problem can be solved for many problems from trivial to complicated.

For example, the busy beaver competitions show that the halting problem is routinely solved for thousands of Turing machines, some with extremely long and complicated running time.

Also all kinds of practical problems are routinely analyzed by static program analyzer. Many will point out halting problems to you.

What is probably meant, is that there is no Turing program that will work on any input.
We run a lot of tests constantly. So, yeah. That said, as soon as it is in the release pipeline, I really encourage the team to not directly watch it. If we don't trust our tests to allow a change to go out, we need to fix the tests. Not train members to watch the deployment.

Fellow woodworking hobbyist here. One of the legit (9-fingered) woodworkers at the store I frequent has looked at some of my work and urged me to sell some pieces. My response was "as soon as I start selling things this changes from a hobby to a job." He suggested that I should sell woodworking projects the way he used to sell cocaine; "just enough to cover your own habit."
He didn’t read the article and point out why he disagreed, he literally misquoted the article (multiple times) to make it seem like it said something it did not.

Even if you say “well, that’s just one article” the 50 minute video demonstrates this is a pattern of Dore’s.

Because they are not actually farmers, but have similar negative stereotypical traits?

Why are you so eager to accuse everyone of blind rage? I read the whole thing. It’s bog standard “these kids on my lawn” stuff which isn’t worth any brain power discussing.

However, you not being able to understand why people didn’t assign some convoluted meaning to the word farmer is quite interesting.

I have bought/deployed Dell business Latitude and OptiPlex systems for 18+ years.

While everything is lighter and cheaper in terms of build quality, stability is still rock solid overall unless you get cursed with a "known issue". I have had Dell replace almost every part of one system over weeks even after I proved the issue was their driver.

When I have needed support in the last few years, I have found that the once-hallowed Dell Pro Support now is just "low-level offshore workers moved onshore", hence the creation of Dell Pro Support Plus, which once was Pro Support.

One of the bummers too is if you have a sales rep you don't like, you can't get rid of them (at least in the SMB sector). You have to just ignore them from 60 days at which point you can get a new one.

The way they name models now is baffling. We were buying OptiPlex 7090 towers but they were recently discontinued. So I figured that meant we'd be seeing OptiPlex 8000s. Nope, the replacement PC is the OptiPlex 7000.

"This person would establish his appetitive and money-making part on the throne, setting it up as a great king within himself. ... He makes the rational and spirited parts sit on the ground beneath appetite, one on either side, reducing them to slaves. He won't allow the first to reason about or examine anything except how a little money can be made into great wealth. And he won't allow the second to value or admire anything but wealth and wealthy people or to have any ambition other than the acquisition of wealth." ~ Plato

The facile reading of this quote (and Plato more generally) is that things never change and humans have always been greedy.

The deeper reading of this quote is that history moves in discernible patterns. There are commonalities in what happened to Athens and in our own trajectory. Plato watched as the Athenian democracy ate itself alive. The end result was the Macedonian subjection of Athens, leading to explicit imperialism in the form of Philip II and Alexander the Great.
