Paging thru the slide deck, it seems that the focus will be on renewables and storage (solar, wind, and battery). The small amount of “free” money is in the form of grants. Competitive businesses do seek these funds. To receive the grant, they have to win it, and that includes writing a plan (for a business they already want to conduct) into a grant application. That plan must heed the government’s regulations and objectives – the person writing the application knows it.

The money is small for the total cost of the project, but it’s a carrot to direct already-effective builders towards building the way that the government wants them to build. The stick exists, too. For example, some EPA regulations will fine or block new builds (and even just upgrades or maintenances) that do not follow the latest regulations.
Ask HN: Greybeard cowboy coder looking for advice on being more professional
I've been a self-taught web developer for 16 years and am currently in the job market. I've been getting some take home coding assessments that don't look like anything I've encountered in my career so far. I've always assumed that there were holes in my knowledge due to the way I taught myself, which was essentially develop the logic in my head and then look online on how to manifest that logic in the language the project uses. It's gotten me pretty far, but I believe I've hit the limit and feel that I'm stuck as a intermediate developer. I think it's time to take a few steps back and "relearn" web development.

I've just purchased several udemy courses on computer science and various languages. Can anyone suggest any other ways to fill the gaps in my knowledge? Specifically, I'm looking for:

Books

Blogs

Podcasts

Online Courses

Any other tips

Thanks!

EDIT: The "Professional" descriptor in the title isn't referring to corporate office professionalism. I'm more referring to professional proficiency.

It's even simpler than that: Allowing others to dictate the terms of interacting with users would be very bad for Googles bottom line. What happens to Google Maps dominance without knowing who's going where (for new/closed shops) and how fast (for traffic information)? What about Chrome pushing users to install on desktop, Photos being built-in, and basically every other Google property being the built-in default? Android reports so much information it means Google will, IMO, always and forever have an edge over every other advertising company.
Yep. Drive a stick and you most likely won't lose your car in a carjacking either.
But arguments around "is this so hard?", or resolution stripping like "so don't write documents at all", are more about superiority signalling, aimed at individualistic benefit.

The fact is that, when you zoom out to org level, comments do quickly drift out of sync and value, and so engineering managers must encourage code writing that will maintain integrity over time, regardless of what people "should" be able to do.
Doing this would make the problem worse by increasing the amount of unemployable newly graduated doctors that can't practice because they can't match into a residency program. Medical schools have exploded in number the past few decades compared to the actual amount of residency spots that have been opened.

The limiting factor isn't medical school admissions, it's residency spots. We'd need to increase medicare funding if we want more residency spots.

They still have their equity grants that will vest each quarter as they would before. The difference is they are vesting a cash value equal to the price-per-share of when it was bought.

I say 'please' but I don't know if the algorithm processes that. I don't say 'thank you' because I'd have to say 'Hey Siri' thank you'?

I would think 'tone of voice' would carry more nuanced information than vocal good manners. Our pets can understand some words, certainly tome of voice, but not whole sentences.

<< No. If that worked, necrophilia would be credible in the eyes of the public.

It is a non-sequitur. It simply does not follow. If it was intended as an analogy, it fails at several levels.

Still, in the spirit of continuing this conversation, and extending this metaphor I will play along.

Has necrophilia been reported in NY post touting its discovery or its relationship to current WH occupant? Have other publications later confirmed that necrophilia was indeed present[1] and was not limited to just necrophilia[2,3 - note those havens of conservative thought like NYT ] despite initially recoiling from such revelations with horror?

Look, I get that you think you can wave me away by a distraction like a slogan 'don't say gay' and turn it into a political sparring match, but you can't. Gays exist. Laptop exists. Pictures exist. It would appear a crack addict exists. Facts are facts.

Personally, I would strap on man. It is going to be one crazy show. If you want my advice, just enjoy the ride.

<<as proven by Republicans losing elections of late.

Yep. Them crazy republicans losing all them seats in the house and senate barely held by democracts. Such a resounding loss it was. I am sorry but I have to chuckle a little at this statement coming from someone on the internet claiming to describe reality. It is just a little surreal.

Not dang (parent comment above) but this means that the topic is of interest to the general HN crowd and humanity. Unfortunately, it didn't get the front-page treatment on time. The options are to give it a push once it is re-submitted or some magic and then gets another chance.

I love this and makes HN lot more humane than just a bunch of algorithms.
> I work for an unrelated US company and if our boss would ask my team to go hardcore and push a new feature out of the door and he can explain why that's necessary, I'd expect more than half of my team to participate.

Musk made no effort to explain any real reason that "going hardcore" was needed, and certainly didn't suggest any real feature that needed it.

There's a difference between pulling together to work hard and achieve goals with people you trust and whatever Musk has done.

Some asshole telling you you're shit, for months, firing all of your friends and then asking everyone to work themselves to death to help pay off his unneeded loan interest is not going to get really anyone motivated.

If they want to sell tickets below market price, there's not a good solution.

If they want some people to be able to buy tickets below market price, then they could use some form of scholarships.

I do. I'm passionate about this because I grew up in somewhat similar circumstances (minus the criminality) - down to age. Upper middle class and not wanting for anything material but completely absent parents and Au Pairs caring for me 24/7 and rotating in and out yearly until I was 10 (by chance the same timeline here).

It took years of psychologists telling me countless times that this childhood experience was very damaging for me and to finally acknowledge the effects continue into my life 38 years later. Having children immediately before going to prison for 11 years is emotional neglect at minimum - those were the words used to describe my childhood. I am "fine" but I can't help but think I'd be better off emotionally if I actually knew my parents growing up. You might not remember anything about being a fourth grader but if you can't tell by now I certainly do. When your childhood is spent with other kids having parents and you don't you remember.

I don't appreciate being told I'm "off the rails" or misogynistic. This isn't fan fiction - it was my life. I can't believe I have to say this but if Sunny pulled this stunt I'd be going just as hard at him.

Again, I've always respected you and still do but respectfully - you have no idea what you're talking about on this one.
Addendum: If you are using something like kdump to capture a vmcore of those kernel panics, then ensure you set `kernel.panic` large enough that the vmcore can actually be written to the dump target.

Setting it to 60 seconds is not much use when it takes 90 seconds to capture the core file.

This is a tangent, but...does she deserve every bit of 11 years?

I agree that relative to other sentences she does, but what does 11 years mean to you? It's everything to me. I cannot imagine giving up 11 years.

Some advertisers have pulled out, and running a break-even business sitting on a war chest is different than running a business that has lots of loans in a high interest rate environment.
Can confirm it’s hell, and I was just the male partner and our benefits paid for it. We were fortunate and it took 4 rounds. Also, I don’t think the multiple birth is done any more, that’s just if you use fertility drugs. With IVF, they only implant one embryo that’s made it to day 6 at a time.
I use it exclusively to downshift when I need more power, quickly. It allows me to drive in ECO mode to save gas, while avoiding sluggish downshifts by doing it manually.
> I can’t say I understand why trillion dollar companies are doing mass layoffs

Most companies finance new projects with a combination of three things. Own capital, investor money and loans. Right now interest rates are high, I'm European so I can't speak for the US, but in some areas of the Eurozone the interest rates hit 12% a month ago. At that point it becomes impossible to utilise the loan part, because it's just too expensive. The investor money are similarly either slowing down or disappearing, not so much because they aren't around or that they don't have money, but because they are waiting to see what happens. This is fuelled not only by the loan part of the equation, but also by the inflation and global supply lines pushing the costs of projects to a point that has eaten a healthy chunk of the would-be investor profits, or put in another way, investors don't want to risk their money for 5% return when it was a 50% return a year ago. Lastly there is the own capital, one way to maintain this is to cut the work force, which aligns with how you need a smaller work force as things slow down.

Where do people go? Well, typically they find new jobs. Some change professions entirely. Some retire. A few unfortunate people break down and head down dark paths. But really, it's not unlike layoffs in good periods, there is just more of it with fewer opportunities.

> it still even possible to get a tech job in this downturn?

As with most things this depends on your situation. What is your educational background, your skillset and your history of work. I can't speak for the US, but here in Europe some countries you could double our amount of good programmers and still need more.

> good paying

As with everything, this depends on the amount of people who can do what you do, but compensation doesn't necessarily go down during harder periods. But it does mean you'll likely have to justify what you do to earn it more than you did before.

I'm little confused. How does this solve the problem? If you don't code for the second, you'll still be off if you wait. I'm I missing something?
What would you be willing to pay for such a service? Would you consider a flat, per seat (user, not computer) per month pricing structure?

I can't point to specifics, but I do remember a lot of similarly bizarre beliefs on YouTube leading up to 2012, like people trying to prove that the sun is now orbiting north-to-south because we're in the middle of a pole shift. An enormous chunk of that historical record is now lost to all future historians because they said the wrong things when Covid came around.
This was the point of the article. Or at least, how to reduce the arbitrage incentive without the complex demand estimation.
(For completeness, aspiration is not strictly restricted to the beginning of a word in classical-to-Byzantine Greek. It might be represented in one of three ways:

- At the beginning of a word, according to Byzantine convention, it is represented by an aspiration mark, discussed above. This can only occur if the word begins with a vowel, or with R. (All words beginning with R are aspirated.)

- Following a /p/, /t/, or /k/ sound, aspiration is represented by mutating the letter into an aspirated form. Unaspirated π becomes aspirated φ, τ becomes θ, κ becomes χ. By the time we're talking about Byzantine Greek, the "aspirated" letters have mostly mutated into other sounds. But for ancient Ancient Greek, they are aspirated forms.

- Doubled Rs have something special going on with them, and the Byzantines use a diacritic mark on the second R even though, obviously, it cannot occur at the beginning of a word. Again there is no contrast between "aspirated" and "unaspirated" double R; the aspiration is mandatory.

As you move into earlier stages of Greek, you lose the standardization of the alphabet; there are plenty of Greek inscriptions where the sound is represented by the glyph H.)

Why does everyone assume that people won't have a chance to explain the value of their code in these interviews? How much time do you think you would need to put together a list of your 10 biggest contributions and some screen caps to illustrate them?
Hard to measure, but I would say that from 2001 - 2003 I created an then co-ran the most well known punk rock website in Portugal. This was way before I knew how to code and before facebook events became a thing, so it was a really valueable source of information for the comunnity.

Oh nice okay, the main concern I had was continued usage of existing pesticides. Acetic acid assuming that works actually sounds pretty great!
It is an email with an explanation of what you do, then some screenshots with code. People who mostly delivered value by writing code at Google wrote an explanation what they did, and often linked to different changelists with code they had written. The only strange part here is the screenshots of code instead of PR's, but adapting to that isn't very hard, take some screen shot of the diff or some part of the code and explain how that code fullfills the things you talked about in the email.

A person who can't do that lacks the soft skills to be an effective software engineer.

Here in Australia to see a specialist your GP has to refer you. To us the idea of going straight to a specialist is odd, if you have a non-emergency medical issue of any kind you just see your GP.

No change in the Twitter 'Hateful Conduct Policy' - 19/11/2022

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/hateful-condu...

"Repeated and/or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone"

"We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category."

[New lines added to target specific quote for this poast]
"This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals."

"We also prohibit the dehumanization of a group of people based on their religion, caste, age, disability, serious disease, national origin, race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. In some cases, such as (but not limited to) severe, repetitive usage of slurs, epithets, or racist/sexist tropes where the primary intent is to harass or intimidate others, we may require Tweet removal. In other cases, such as (but not limited to) moderate, isolated usage where the primary intent is to harass or intimidate others, we may limit Tweet visibility as further described below."

Perhaps they haven't got around to deleting that sentence. Meanwhile I'm guessing it's just more fake news.

Yeah, I scored a 6 where 0 is perfect.
The original use was to "to implement the world's first graduate program in "automatic data processing"" at Harvard; Fred Brookes volunteered to join in and "It was in this period that Iverson developed notation for describing and analyzing various topics in data processing, for teaching classes, and for writing (with Brooks) Automatic Data Processing. He was "appalled" to find that conventional mathematical notation failed to fill his needs, and began work on extensions to the notation that were more suitable."

Then "Iverson joined IBM Research in 1960 [...] he was allowed to finish and publish A Programming Language and (with Brooks) Automatic Data Processing, two books that described and used the notation developed at Harvard. [...] At IBM, Iverson soon met Adin Falkoff [...] Chapter 2 of A Programming Language used Iverson's notation to describe the IBM 7090 computer. In early 1963 Falkoff [...] proceeded to use the notation to produce a formal description of the IBM System/360 computer then under design."
