As a developer, I legit feel crippling anxiety and might need professional help.

People saying it's not intelligent, really don't get it. It looks like it's working exactly like the human brain. We, humans, also pretend to know what we're talking about and often talk with authority without really understanding what's going on. When you apply for a react.js position you pretend to be a js God when in fact you know shit, just enough to be able to stitch things together to make them work.

The rate at which technology, languages and frameworks change also doesn't give you the ability to master your craft. In fact, mastering a specific tool/framework is risky for your career because of new tools emerging every 3-5 years. Every company uses a variation of react,vue,python,go,java,ruby whatever, it's impossible for the human brain to keep up and be good at everything. We can only scratch the surface of the complicated mess of a tech stack and that's exactly what gpt3 is extremely good at right now. So yeah, I fear a lot...

I can't imagine how good this is gonna be in 5-10 years. I legit feel scared and anxious. How can we prepare for this future?
Though you are right, this doesn’t mean that it’s not an interesting avenue of investigation by which we could learn something important about the disease.
I disagree slightly (explanation below), but whether you take "educate" to mean some sort of deep exploration or just rote repetition, I think the the point still stands.

The disagreement comes from n=1 anecdata drawn from my own education, but after 8th grade or so nearly all my homework was designed to complement rather than reinforce in-class instruction. Picking on mathematics as one of the things you mentioned, the in-class instruction would introduce a concept, and the homework would give you the opportunity to flounder a bit and probe the bounds of that concept. I particularly enjoyed questions like "the author made a mistake in this question; how would you correct it to be answerable?" In some sense that's repeating a concept, but when you're doing something more than repeating the same technique over and over there's a sense in which it's different too.
While I don't think this was intended - there is a movement to use place-names as preferred by their inhabitants, rather than their "colonial" names. Regardless of the historical context or the merits of linguistic descriptivism. So for example you have Mumbai or Turkiye. So the _implication_ for someone that didn't have the context regarding romanization, is that Peking is the "colonial" name, now requiring updating to less-racist standards.
> If you are an American who has traveled internationally you have at least two distinct federally issued IDs, which can get out of sync and cause a huge headache.

What IDs are you referring to and what’s the headache? Presumably one ID is a passport. From your first sentence, I would assume the second ID is a social security number, but how does it become “out of sync” with a passport?
The lesson about consequences of letting your plane be hijacked was learned and applied in less than two hours.

Nobody on that flight made it to their intended destination, including the hijackers. Now that it is known that passengers will attack would be hijackers and that cockpit doors will be locked, making it hard to get control of the plane, the risk/reward for hijacking looks poor. That shooting down hijacked flights was authorized may also be a deterent, altough realistic response time is long, so maybe not a big factor. Terrorists are better off doing something else.
If I was a victim absolutely I would be pursuing that with local prosecutors

>The system is tilted towards non-prosecution, and for some very good reasons. No one's going to jail here.

yes for high profile corporate execs it is, if some Teenager reported his car stolen but then found out a friend borrowed it, not only would the teen reporting the crime go to jail, but the teen that borrowed it likely would still be prosecuted for theft at the same time

Kinda like "resisting arrest" charge that is still valid even when there is no underlying crime to resist arrest from....

Your idea of " system is tilted towards non-prosecution" only exisit for one socio-economic class of citizens
I'm going to rinse it but raw (as in uncooked) cilantro is omnipresent in Mexican and Thai cooking in particular.

> because boarding is the worst time to be inebriated.

The drunk people who wind up causing the plane to be diverted in the air seem 100x worse than someone needing to be escorted away from the plane at the gate.
i see to recall america online was fullscreen on macOS 8 and 9.
We shouldn't be spending billions of dollars on a 60-year experiment for possible benefits that we can't quantify.

Certainly there are ways to measure if the air marshal program works as a deterrent. Even if there isn't, I'd argue we still need to axe the program, given the cost, abuse, risks, and lack of clear benefits.
Just realised a similar attack also happened on Saturday: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1599768172311105537.html

Big4 I used to work are fairly clear about who they call senior (consultant / senior consultant / manager / senior manager/etc) and I can rarely fault them.
Now for consultancies (Accenture and the like), the term is a bit more loose indeed.
The official minimum requirements are just bizarre, because they're only enforced at installation. Windows 11 runs just fine on Skylake processors.

Yes, older CPUs don't have certain security features. That's unfortunate, but it's not like running Windows 10 is more secure for them. Just turn those features off when they're not supported.
>I lived through the glory days of Windows 2000 and it was consistent and dependable back then. Every step forward since has been two steps backwards.

I can't tell you how often I've repeated this.

Windows UI/UX was at it's pinnacle for Win2k. I miss it.
It's a tongue-in-cheek comment, not a serious statement regarding psychological resilience.
Even if you take a step above win32 and use a framework like GTK or QT, you'll find that sort of responsiveness.
The consequences of identity theft in many EU countries are dramatically less severe than in the US, though.

This is mostly due to not using a short, immutable identifier (like the US SSN) effectively as a bearer token, as far as I can tell.

Even getting a copy (or even the original!) of somebody's passport or driver's license is not enough to open a bank account or a credit card in many EU countries; in Germany, you need to actually appear in front of a bank employee (or subcontractor), personally or in a video chat, verify your identity, and confirm your intention to open a new account.
If you are basing on totally detached statistics, maybe..

But what's obviously missing is context. Safety is all about context. Walking shouldn't require protection until excessive risk is added to it, like walking on ice or across a busy intersection.

The moment that risk is added, it needs to be balanced with safety. Helmets might be an effective safety measure, but they are situationally inconvenient for pedestrians; and rely on too much behavioral discipline.
Aminita "death cap" mushrooms are one substance that I know of that remains toxic after exposure to high heat over time.

This is not a NLRB notice / consent decree, this is a court order injunctions so the better question would be "Do you have examples of executives being jailed of violations of court orders"

which is yes of course there are examples of that

It was sarcasm, and yes.
C1 vs C2 is best shot here IMO. Except a normal memory leak of course.

Problem with JVM is these compilation stages are difficult to monitor and tune. They require logging, parsing logs and trial and error approach.

OP definitely worth logging tiered compilation `-XX:+PrintCompilation` and `-XX:+PrintInlining` and `-XX:+LogCompilation`. When this turns out to be filled, emptied and filled again, try increasing `ReservedCodeCacheSize`
The point is with the half dozen things they fixed, they broke another hundred things. From the broken in a different way control panel, to the lack of functional grouping in the start menu, it just keeps going. Its the same thing they did with win10, and why its not running on any of my personal hardware either.
OTOH they are trained to kill people and destroy things, not enforce the law or maintain civil order.
> Be like all the FBI agents refusing to prosecute minority groups or something.

FTFY.

The FBI is a political organization and chooses who they will persecute based on the political leanings of FBI leadership.
I still hate the ribbons. I go looking in the top "file - edit - view - [...]" menus for things that used to be there, find them absent, and then have to go play Where's Waldo in the damn ribbon. Even in Explorer, these days! And the ribbons themselves just seem like a jumble of button sizes and placement with no rhyme or reason.
There is an additional benefit with the EDL, which is that you can go up to Canada and back with just the EDL, since it also is proof of citizenship. Whether that is worth an additional $7/year is debatable, but it's similar to the price of a Passport Card, which is equivalent.
Eye candy is definitely the appeal of a commercial app. It should not be the appeal of a technical and sophisticated app. And that is what K9 was to so many for so long. The only reason I left for outlook is because I was able to fit more information in a small screen and because my workplace migrated to Exchange which was outlook exclusive.
There are a large number of people stuck in semi-permanent limbo because their disjointed federal IDs don’t agree about some combination of birthday, spelling of name, etc. I have a friend who fills out their taxes with a birthday which is not their birthday because they can’t get the SSA change the date on file(they insist the state must be wrong and that the state should change). Getting a passport required months of effort and ultimately a lawyer because the federal and state documents disagree.

Having one master citizen record would allow us to have one place to make changes and one group to appeal to when fixing errors.

Also, to be super clear, all Americans already have at least one federal ID, it’s just a bad one. Let’s make it less bad.
Jokes on you, I don't need summaries or articles to upvote a headline.

Do you do double entenndres though?
This is only one part of it, but pay grades for government employees in the US are far lower than private industry when it comes to things like software developers. Just look at the GS rates [1], why would a good developer choose to make 50% or less of what they could make in the private sector? It'd be hard to convince the general public that we should be paying $100k+ for young devs working directly for the government, which is already more money than most senior level scheduled gov employees.

So we then have this whole convoluted contracting process where consultancies run by people who know how to write and win bids, but know nothing about software engineering, end up being hired to write software systems. All because the government can't really build highly skilled teams on their own.

Again, it's not all of the problem (not by a long shot), but it definitely contributes. Plus, the government employing people directly is socialism, but paying an incompetent consulting firm that plays middle-man to the system isn't.

> I contacted support again and received an arrogant email

Yep. The attitude of the engineering support is something that Hetzner needs to improve a LOT on. They tend to treat customers as if they are treating members of their own open source or engineering community - scolding the customers when they think the customer (community member) is being unreasonable etc.

Its a great thing that eng. support is just a ticket and 20-45 minutes away at Hetzner. But the attitude needs a lot of improvement. Imagine that you are a startup facing some quirky issue that affects your business in the middle of the night and having to deal with attitude and scolds from datacenter engineers...
My memory of driving Washington/Iahado/Montana is that holding speed wasn’t that difficult. Lots of opportunities for acceleration and deceleration. I have never driven a Tesla. Curious to know if it can handle my driving style.

We have an Enterprise deal with work so we get very good rates, especially when they drop a car off and pick up at my home or office

However I was in one a few months ago and got a puncture on a dual carriageway. By the time I pulled over to a safe location the tyre was shredded. No problem, go into the boot to get the spare wheel out and I'll deal with it later.

There was no spare wheel. Just some little device which I assume is supposed to somehow re-inflate the tyre and seal any small holes for a small amount of time. Clearly not going to work when the side wall is shredded from driving the best part of a mile on it.

Too 6 hours for a tow-truck to arrive, pick me up, take me to a local garage, and change the tyre. That cost my employer far more than the cost of a spare wheel -- not to mention the cost of the tow itself being about the same price as the wheel + tyre.

Probably not a slight on Enterprise, as I'm sure it's the same with other hire companies (I hired from Sixt on holiday and it was the same). Why don't cars come with spare wheels any more? Are people really that incompetent they can't change one? Surely punctures as as common now as they were 20 years ago.

I appreciate the link, but I can't tell if those number are per capita or just raw numbers.

It would make sense that bike numbers are smaller if they are just the raw numbers given that there are probably 100x more cyclists and 1000x more pedestrians than bikers.

If those numbers aren't adjusted for usage then it makes bikes look even more dangerous when you adjust for how often each form of travel is used.

As someone who commutes by bike, yikes!!

I'm solidly on team helmet but F=ma is dominated by several tons of SUV. It's really hard for almost any other situation to reach the same energy levels and on average that's what determines how severe an impact is.
Sorry I like federalism, and oppose a centralized state. the Federal government in the US has WAY WAY WAY too much power now
Disclaimer, MS employee here, but I've got to say that the cloud sign-in is one of my favorite features.

The amount of time I spend worrying about and preparing for a hard drive failure has significantly gone down.

I'm able to have one device at home, and another at work, and they stay reasonably in-sync with one another.

I'm able to check things from my phone (even if I can't be productive on the phone, at least having access to progress made on my home machine is important).

I see others commenting here about how hard it is to create a local-only account on Windows 11, and I don't want to dismiss such criticism, but I'm personally never going back to a local-only account on my devices.
That limits what the federal government can do with the US military. Governors have more lattiude with using state-level military (i.e. national guard units) in their own states.

Yeah, Peking is much closer to the Cantonese pronunciation of the city, however, I think the guys who came up with the romanization did live in the north capital city. On the other hand Wade-Giles is more prevalent in Singapore, HK and Taiwan, for example --though in some instances they are starting to follow the pinyin transliteration.
The fact that you take "insult" over a philosophical issue is telling.
>> Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett said Waggoner was on her "strongest ground when you're talking about her sitting down and designing and coming up with the graphics to customize them for the couple."

If we did, you wouldn't be able to tell ;)

I think we have made a lot of progress in the area of computer graphics - most action movies you watch now contain some level of CG characters or digital makeup that is very believable.

But really the point I was trying to make is that people become more discerning the closer something comes to being human-like, and that feeling masks the reality of the progress.
"You broke the law. As punishment, we're going to tell you not to break the law anymore."

They probably mean that the certification requires very rigid processes which means any variation would not get the stamp of approval so innovation and experimentation is discouraged.
Honestly, getting started is pretty difficult for me too. And no, I don’t really enjoy what I’m working on but I don’t hate it either.
Over the horizon radar pt I
Why would there be bacteria (of material concern) on the inside? Where would it come from?

Beef is dry aged for 60 days at 40F and 75+% RH, and no one has concerns about a raw center of a dry aged steak. A half-day at 70F seems equivalent if not less severe
the BIG 4 I'm referring to are Accenture, McKinsey, BCG and Bain.
(Nitpicking follows. I agree with your points.)

I don't think #2 actually goes away. It's a cultural shift. Prior to 9/11, the advice was always to just stay calm and let the authorities negotiate with the terrorist, because that had in the past generally led to passengers and plane surviving the incident. That level of passivity isn't coming back.
Classic Mac OS supported full screen applications since the beginning. I'm not sure if Apple allowed it or whatever in their very strict interface guidelines, but from a programming perspective you just have to turn off the menu bar and take the entire screen as the GrafPort.

That guy was claiming 34 years of use. The disks would be incredibly low capacity compared to today.
Yes it does also apply to pasteurized cheese. But pasteurized cheese is safe at any age (young ones safe because of pasteurization step, older ones because of good bacteria). And slightly less flavourful.
Even with insurable interest you can have an insurance company wiped out by fraud, mistakes, or (most likely perhaps) a mass event that causes claims at the same time.

This is why flood and earthquake insurance often end up being (underfunded) and run by the state.

A nice idea, but in my experience that's not the case.

Quite a lot of financial institutions will still only accept a US state-issued driver's license to open an account with them, even though they generally accept foreigners.

I've even encountered one that accepts only driver's licenses and not (also DMV-issued) learner's permits or non-driving IDs!

Well sure. That's why we have Wordpress. Javascript frameworks. And ten thousand other things. All the plug-ins of the last ten years have made me a more productive developer. But it hasn't reduced the demand for developers.
NY also has that 'American Flag' for an 'enhanced' ID. FYI, the 'enhanced' is only valid for land or sea crossings into canada/mexico/some caribbean destionations (you can't fly into those countries).

You have to go to the DMV for 'real id or enhanced' so I won't be getting one anytime soon until they force it on me. I have a passport for travel anyway.
