I find comments like this irritating.

If someone wants to say "I dropped acid and it helped me," fine. People are allowed to share personal experiences, though it's a mistake to universalize them.

But this "oh you didn't meditate enough" or whatever is such nonsense. It's a claim about these drugs and how they work that you have no grounds to make.
You seem to use a very strict definition of "caused".
That's pretty damning. I wonder why those two generally left-leaning publications would go looking to rely on a partisan report as the basis of their reporting.

Sure, that would sell clicks, but ProPublica in particular has aimed not to be clickbait, and Vanity Fair also has a long history of serious reporting rather than hype. Neither is beyond reproach, to be sure, but this doesn't seem to fit in with how they see themselves.

These sorts of things is why D doesn't allow any system calls when running code at compile time, and such code also needs to be pure.

Of course, this doesn't protect against compiling malicious code, and then running the code. But at least I try to shut off all attempts at simply compiling the code being a vector.

Out of all the jobs you listed, drilling for oil is the one that does not fit the bill, not by a long shot. In fact, in this market, it's by far the most lucrative you could have.
Good advice

I think part of the problem is that "what you love" is too coarse of a term; the author hinted at this but didn't really dig into it. I would break it down into at least three parts:

1. Something that's fun to you (the moment to moment lights up your brain)

2. Something that gives you esteem (feeling like you're good at something, and probably also having others validate that with praise and/or payment)

3. Something that gives you a sense of purpose in life (like you're contributing to something bigger than yourself- can be artistically, socially, etc)

Combining those with:

4. Something that makes you money

we have four different needs that can be met by the same or different activities. Finding three in a single activity is hard; finding all four in a single activity is nearly impossible. But one or two here, one or two there, is very doable (assuming time allows). I tend to think a person should aim for a primary job that fills two, or maybe three, because of how much of their time it takes up. But they should not hold out for a job that fills all four.

What's important is to become aware of exactly what each of these needs looks like for you personally, and which activities do and don't fill each of them. Then you can plan and prioritize to try and fill the gaps in your life.

PS: I've found that #3 tends to revolve around people other than yourself. That could mean moving them or bringing them joy through art/creativity, or raising children, being a community leader, doing charity, or even just building a product that directly makes people's lives better. The specifics depend on the person. But totally insular activities probably won't ever do it for #3; I think we've got something at the base of our monkey-brains that has an unchangeable need to be helpful to the tribe.

Yeah, I thought this article was going to be about robocalls. I don't think I'm alone in realizing that for now most robocalls auto-disconnect if they don't hear anything on the line for somewhere between 15 seconds to a minute depending on the software's patience I suppose. This has taught me to never answer the phone for an unknown number and immediately say something, just to put it on speakerphone and let it pick up ambient fan noise or whatever for a minute-ish. If it is a robocall and it auto-hangs up, I win.

If it is an actual person calling it is an awkward etiquette dance for a minute or so while people wait for that polite "Hello?" that the receiver is supposed to kick off the conversation with. I don't know if the etiquette needs to shift in a time of robo-callers or what. I appreciate that there's an increasing air of excuse now of "fiddling with my phone equipment because calls are so rare" that this article addresses (though the article believes this to be a bad thing).
To me, this type of argument is so hard to understand that I'm not sure if you're serious or not.

Private jets are bad and wasteful & the people attending that are pricks anyway etc. etc. Everybody agrees.

But I actually see no issue with the attendees flying in on private jets in and of itself. The impact of all that travel is basically just a drop in the ocean and could easily be made up for with a stroke of a pen if those people would actually convene to do some good. Do you really want your PM/president wasting 2 days getting there? I personally wouldn't.

Well I think we mostly agree on the facts and the terms then. That large companies have co-opted a model of early web enthusiasts sharing. That the original and current model of the web has loading third party resources as a primary feature, and is not conducive to user privacy.

Internally I do something very similar: drop the information to a share on my machine with read permissions set to the right people.

As you say, things can be more complicated for externals. I often don't have write access to much that they can read from, without putting in a request through infrastructure, for obvious separation-of-concerns reasons, because things we host/manage directly for them are well locked down, anything at their end is too, and most of our clients have white-list-only access to other resources.
The more interesting issue here that is not mentioned is that when you include the most conservative estimates on unfunded liabilities (medicare into the future, future medicaid, future social security, other legislated obligations into the future) with this current budget mentioned in the article, you arrive at totals that put the debt load above the total federal tax receipts inncomung.
Luke Gromen has done the math on this and like many things with the USA govt you won't find this specific number but based on other specific govt given numbers you can do the math yourself but basically we've past the point where you need to take out debt to pay previous debts on the federal level.
In practice, I expect much of the answer will end up being "militarize space a whole bunch more".

I don't think anyone's expecting anyone else to actually abide by all those space-related treaties if there's another Great Powers war. Which, this century, means only one pairing: the US and China.

More surveillance, satellite kill vehicles with perhaps a little plausible deniability, dark, redundant GPS and comm sats, maybe some new, secret constellations at novel orbital heights for when all that debris gets spread around the lower orbits and screws everything up... maybe not actual space-based ground-targeting or anti-ICBM weapons, but then again, countries do cheat on treaties.

"Do what you love and money will follow" has genuinely wrecked many lives.

I know too many people (some very close to me) that followed this mantra. What ensued was most often very low paying jobs, or long term unemployment. The "luckiest" ones were able to do a career switch later in life. But there is an opportunity cost, as well as great time and effort involved on starting from scratch at that point.

Much greater advice is "do something that affords the lifestyle you want to have". This formula will be different for each one and will be a tension between work, money, and personal life. I know people who work jobs they don't love or hate, but pay enough to sustain their living expenses and support their hobbies.

It is very unfortunate that safety critical software is not developed inhouse. The direct communication between engineering, development, testing and management is usually quite important.

But this is never an excuse even if this software had been delivered from a contractor it is the duty of Boeing to write specific requirements and to test them, while making sure that the requirements cover all forseeable eventualities.

This isn't frontend development. You do not just ship software some third party wrote for you.

Russia did that. They've damaged/destroyed their own pipelines before in order to avoid penalty clauses in contracts or to get out of a bad deal after the price changed out of their favor, and that's why they did it this time, too.

>but I believe fragmenting the community has almost always led to the overall downfall of a language

Warning, I am not a professional developer, only a mere scripter.

Aren't forks and transpiled languages sometimes a driving force? Typescript/coffeescript pushed changes in Javascript. Scala on the VM pushed changes in Java. jQuery as a DSL of javascript even pushed changes in the language.

And in all of these cases, the branch language/framework eventually becomes less relevant, but that does not take away the utility and influence they provided in their time.

So if someone imagines running a Golang fork and successfully develops the fork with new features and/or better processes and faster iteration, it may be useful even if they end up dying once and if Golang itself incorporates the changes.

> C++ needs an actual sum type, and variant isn’t it. Sorry.

Don't disagree at all, but in the meantime I'd still avoid union and use variant instead but wrapped in a class that exposes named accessors. You don't have to actually expose the orderings of a variant to anything that way.

It's a bunch of annoying boilerplate to be sure, though. If the metaclasses proposal ever happens then it could be generated which would be cool.

We aren't protected in real life from being called words. I've certainly had my fair share hurled at me. By having to deal with it both at a young age and in adulthood, I've grown a thick skin and strong defense system.

IP theft doesn't really promote competition that way because the one that steals the technology gains all the advantage. They don't have to recoup their costs and by default have lower margins. That's impossible for the original creator to compete against.

IP protectionism on the other hand does promote competition[0]. If an inventor is able to create and market a successful product than competition has to invent their own versions. Not through theft, but through innovation. This will mean they do things differently. It also means they will NEED to gain some edge (either reduced cost or higher utility or different niche).

While there was a lot of theft in the space program, it wasn't the same as it is today with the current situation. The supply chain issues mean that innovation still had to occur. The current situation is more like you subcontract a company to manufacture parts for you and then that company says "thanks for the instructions, we'll now just sell our own." There's no innovation pressure in this framework.

[0] Too much protectionism also does hurt. If intellectual rights are provided for too long than a technology that has failed to properly be marketed by the creators is lost to society. Similarly, too broad of protection can also hinder competition. But there is a sweet spot which gives inventors the first rights and isn't too broad. This promotes competition.

> An anecdote of one person with bad manners shouldn't be representative of the whole.

It is so incredibly widespread, it's not just "an anecdote of one person".

The entry-level courses at TU-Berlin where I studied had just been taken over by FP disciples when I started studying, and it was crazy. "Let me tell you about our Lord and Saviour Functional Programming, Hallelujah".

And of course the reality didn't come close to matching the advertising.

And it never does.

Another nice example was in a lecture by SPJ on parallel Haskell, where he says "This can only be done in a functional language.". Audience member: "We've been doing exactly this in HPC for decades. In FORTRAN". Instead of conceding or apologising for the gaffe, SPJ doubles down with something along the lines of "well, then what you are using is an FPL". Jeez. Oh, and when it comes to the results he reveals that the overhead is so high that you need 7-8 cores running full tilt to be equivalent to a single core C program. Jeez.

In general, there is also the widespread phenomenon I call "functional appropriation", where a similarity is noted between some aspect of FP and some other mechanism or paradigm or some such, and then the claim is made that this obviously means that the other mechanism/paradigm is just thinly veiled FP.

Newsflash: let me tell you about Turing machines. Or NAND gates...

For example FRP, "Functional Reactive Programming". Which is really just dataflow, and badly packaged dataflow at that. Or the React people's claim that the core concept or React is that the UI is a "pure function" of the model. Well, it turns out it is not. Not a pure function at all. And not really a function either. Just a mapping. And any UI had better be some sort of mapping of the model, or it's hard to see how it would qualify as a UI.

I could go on (and on, and on, and on...) but I'll stop now.
I'm honestly not sure the benefits of executing code during compilation/install outweigh the bad. Most attacks we have seen leverage this as the attack vector.
But in a way it's right. The approach is a temper tantrum.

There's no clear path or discussion of the issues at hand, it's just a simplistic demand that's essentially impractical.

Civilized people get involved in a civilized way, that's just virtue signaling.

That's why we have democracies and legal systems, learn them and change the system from the inside.

Start a political party, petition, argue, discuss and most of all compromise. Without compromise it's impossible to sort these things out and in the end you may end up hurting whatever ill-defined cause that you're pursuing.
Holy smokes dude. You are being ridiculous.

The key takeaway I got from the article was a word I've not come across before: avocation - an activity that someone engages in as a hobby outside their main occupation. I've known of the concept since before I started work[1], but it never occurred to me that there would be an English word for the concept. Which, as I am supposed to be a poet, is a bit embarrassing.

Talking about poets, it's interesting that there's not many full-time poets in the world; most poets need a paying job (often in academia) to cover the bills. I personally think this is a Good Thing as it helps give them (us) a perspective beyond the poetry scene, and the blank page, which helps ferment more enjoyable poems.
