First, I'd talk to your manager directly. From what I can tell, this can either improve your situation, or just confirm to you more that you should leave.

I hate (have experience this myself) when instead of compensation for hard work, you receive fairly empty praise like "you're the best engineer we have". If I am, please pay me accordingly. This doesn't mean jumping you to principal engineer or anything, but it does mean to at least give you a raise. No raise or promotion in those three high performing years as their described best engineer seems absurd. In a lot of places, you need to vouch for yourself and maybe this is one of those places. You're the only person that's going to prioritize yourself.

I'd definitely sit down with you boss and tell him how you feel (write notes before hand) and be honest with them. Honestly, I'd start passively looking for jobs now. If things work out with your current employer, you can always still stay, but this will give you a jump start and an idea of your market worth.

I really wish you the best of luck. Worst case, I'm sure you'll be able to find another position that will compensate you appropriately.
> C shares one common trait with assembly: the ability to access, interpret, and modify memory freely

In reality that is a trap; C makes you think that you might be able to poke memory in all sorts of ways but in reality there are lot of subtle restrictions around memory access. The whole discussion around pointer provence is the tip of the iceberg here.

And that is pretty much at the core of the whole ub hullabaloo; difference between what C seems to be (or have been) and what the standard says.

Ah, so pre-WW2 then... And for the most time part of the German Empire / Prussia. A nationish state that doesn't exist anymore for more than 100 years. And then it was conquered by the USSR during WW2, which was started by whom again?

Anyway, what does this have to do with Russias invasion of Ukraine again?
No privacy can also be that you vote for measure x but nobody knows that but you, e.g. you can have an opinion/hobby without anyone knowing about it but you and people you trust.
It was well done. I put in the bare minimum of information

> Paste the Job Description: Do the STEM stuff

> Paste your Resume: * Worked with kids, * Know some STEM

and it spat out a cover letter that filled in all the unsaid details, completely inventing it from whole cloth, talking about "motivating students" and how "using creative approaches such as storytelling and hands-on activities, I was able to bring excitement into my classes..."

That said, the result was that it highlighted how meaningless and full of bullshit a cover letter is.
There’s certainty a nostalgic emotional reaction when seeing these but it’s not strong enough to move me to prioritize trying out esoteric technology over the other million interesting or necessary things on my plate.

Can the guy actually do your job or is he just expressing supreme confidence? I would not feel threatened by a cocky newb, its normal for a newb to be cocky especially when he knows hes walking onto a bloated lead title. Now he's your lead, make him do the work you don't want to do, what else is a lead for? You are the most senior engineer, relax take the work you want.

The Chinese version would have to complies with party guidelines, so not for me. But I am curious what sort of service Microsoft will offer when this will be integrated in Bing. Or the Google's version.
> In any case, their point still stands with the $29k figure.

Comparing comp for two people who are working really hard, doesn't really work when you're comparing to a median income that includes lots of people who don't work or don't really work.

Similarly, comparing median net income (which includes taxation) with a pre-tax windfall doesn't really make sense, either.

Further, we're not adjusting for time value of money...

Given that this isn't rare in retail stores, I think that's a pretty safe assumption.
I'm a bit addicted to Rimworld when it comes to this genre, but I bought DF just to support the OG's - plus I wasted 4 months on a terrible contract job and the only thing that kept me sane was playing Liberal crime squad in the background.
My comments (from this little information):

1. Empowering others frees yourselves and build teams. Never stop empowering others. You will be more successful in the long run. If the environment is competing you against your peers, leave the environment. A good environment allows fostering good people and working conflict free with multiple good people. Empowering others is part of that.

2. When you are developed by your manager, you go through stages. First it is hands-on (1:1, training, help, guidance, ...) but later it becomes completely loose (more responsibility, punishment if you do something wrong). As a manager you end-goal is independent people which do not need hands-on 1:1 meetings. Are you in that situation maybe?

3. "Cold Shoulder from the rest of the team": Something happened what you have not figured out. Figure it out.

4. Regards the lead engineer position: Ask yourself: Does he deserve the job independent from your own pride? Do you belief that the only differencing factor is your manager's preference ... that sucks but is not necessary toxic. Friendship often translates in trust. Maybe your boss also relies on his friend on leading the team now while he does other things.
>I was told that you are the best engineer in the whole organization.

>This is top 5 tech companies in Canada.

Choose one. No top 5 tech company would ignore a golden hen, and if they do, they will certainly feel it when you are gone. If your replacement is "up to speed" doing everything you were doing after a short training period - then this also waters down your claims of the above. I would honestly get an interview with a recruiter and see where you land on the engineer spectrum.

Top engineers in any organization that size will be known to management.

Some thoughts: Maybe your salary was very high when you came on originally? Did you negotiate it up a lot? Is your compensation equity-based and that part has picked up a lot vs your salary? In all big companies, there is an annual raise that corresponds to inflation - this is almost mandated at all companies so unless you had a sub-par performance review OR your comp package included something other than salary - it would be almost unheard of to have a salary frozen for 3 years, given even benchmark inflation was very high last year.

There are definitely some things not lining up here but giving you the benefit of the doubt:

Interview at the 4 bigger tech companies and see what you can get for an offer.
If you get an offer, you use that as leverage to get a raise at your current job - or you take it. If you don't get an offer, then you stay put and have a meeting with your manager first, and if nothing comes of it or if you get blown off, then have a meeting with HR without your manager present. If neither of those things work, you can always adjust your output accordingly (9-5 mindset) since there seems to be no difference between high output and average for your role.
> Last time I had an employer I had feelings of being treated unfairly and voiced it

Did you raise it with your manager or his/her manager?

Just trying to understand at what forum did you raise it and how?
Very interesting, when better formats like vorbis were too cpu intensive for my game I ended up with striped and delta encoded wav compressed using lz4hc for something that was somewhat compressed, streamable and light on the cpu, this seems somewhat close to that.

I believe that it's a misguided policy. LLMs are becoming a part of us like mobile phones, internet, google, messenger and multitude of other thinks before this. We should embrace this.
As others have pointed out, just washing them is exactly the wrong thing to do. But if you don't wash them, you don't need to keep them cold. Not washing them works great too.
No they're not and this flippant dismissal is so intellectually lazy.

The ability to scam people exists and isn't going away. People went town to town in covered wagons selling bullshit. People scammed others out of money centuries before that.

The answer isn't pearl-clutching nonsense about how this technology is so different and so morally reprehensible compared to everything else. The answer is education. If someone shows up at your door and sells you a bottle of water that will cure all your ills for $100 then skips town, most people would see it as your fault for being so gullible. Someday there will be some technological or social way to easily differentiate deep fakes from real video the same way you can with photoshopped images today.
> The best way to deal with this is non-compliance and there need to be technical solutions to deny such attempts.

I disagree.

While these are good to have, they are not enough.

The reason is always the same: if you are found to be using the circumventing tech., you'll likely be in breach of the law, which will give the goons a legitimate reason to come and harass you.

In a civilized country, that can translate into a fine, community service, etc...

In the borderlands, it'll land you in jail or worse.

Actually I think this might be a very useful addition to Legends mode. Right now it is pretty tedious and difficult to extract meaningful narrative from what is essentially a log dump, but if there were a LLM trained to weave those dry tomes into wild stories that would be pretty neat.

Cool use of gamma-ray imaging technology! The underlying technology is a coded aperture to give a random response on the detector that can be used to reconstruct the direction of the gamma-ray source. I think they are using a moving mask with a single detector in the middle. They probably didn't know if the source had broken apart and caused more contamination when they found the general area. So the imaging allows you to know from a distance if the source has been distributed without going into a potentially loose contamination area.

Shameless plug: our company makes gamma-ray imaging systems and combines them with LiDAR mapping to make real-time 3D radiation maps: https://www.gammareality.com/

It doesn't require a monocle and mustachio to recognize the massive problem with crypto. But this guy is saying that you can only trust monocles and mustachios.
This is not necessarily a power trip. There are people who genuinely feel that way, and are doing this for the public good.

I think there has been a confusion in our society between well-being and safety. There are definitely circumstances where one is unsafe, but this is for their well-being (letting the teenager drive by themselves for an errand), and there are circumstances where one is safe, but someone’s well-being is degrading (helicopter parenting).
To be fair, you'd have to somehow account for what percentage of those released each day are just shovelware crap. The actual "indie games" to look at would be the ones where talented people put time and effort into something. A vast majority of those will still fail, but then you have at least a true basis.
I was under the impression that there weren't that many people engineering crypto. Small startups and teams.
> The charter of human rights feels like the kind of thing humanity at large has agreed as basic tenants of undisputable truths we can very much all agree on. Not every country has fullfilled every part of it and ideologically some people find individual problems with some of the points, but I think an AI using it as a blueprint is a pretty reasonable starting point.

The charter of human rights is very much not "undisputable", if that were the case we would have only came up with it in the 20th century after months of debate.
What you are saying is basically - all the people before us (and after us) are wrong, somehow in the 20th century we figured everything out and from now on there is no discussion.

This is religious thinking: "now that we have THE BOOK we know what is good and bad forever".

> You do see the difference between a thought, shared with no one and visible to no one, and an image on a computer, which can be uploaded to the internet, right?

Why do you assume it’s shared with no-one? The representations change, but I can guarantee you that Bianna the Beautiful had several suggestive clay figures created of her without her permission.

Not to say that that was necessarily great, Bianna would probably have been upset too. But trying to fight the method of representation instead of the sharing seems like a fools errant to me.
All this to me is pure technological kitsch and bullshit.

UNIX was completely irrelevant/unreachable for most people until Linux showed up.

By that time, C was already popular outside the UNIX world.
Homophobia is enshrined in law in the majority of countries in the world. You will literally be stoned to death for having sex with the same gender in several countries.

Racism is core to nearly every country in the world. It may seem bad in the US, but it's worse elsewhere. And while people won't admit they're racist in the US, racism itself is pervasive.

Sexism might be the most prominent and long lasting parts of the culture across the world for millenia. Just look up the rape stats, and then keep in mind that most rapes are not reported.

Homophobia, racism, and sexism are deeply ingrained in nearly every culture on the planet today.
We had a complaint like this for my dad when he was near the end.

We got in a verbal argument with a care worker who wouldn't do anything when she came to take care of him, wouldn't feed him, clean him, talk or even look at him. Except for the few times where she screamed at him she just waited for her time to leave. After the argument she sent a complaint letter to the local government claiming he was improperly taken care of (even though we cared for him every day in addition to paying people like her to help).

Here is where it gets good: He was put under care of the state until the matter was resolved, with a state appointed curator who received a percentage of his pension as payment and had full control of all decisions related to his care as well as his bank account.
That meant we could no longer make accommodations in his house without their approval, every decision we took for him had to go through them. We had to pay for the large costs of care ourselves because it's not remotely realistic to go through the government to expense food, hygiene supplies and everything needed to take care of an elderly man near death. In addition to that we couldn't get rid of the agency that provided the abusive care workers, they made sure to make buddy-buddy with the curator and to paint us as abusers.

We went to his home every day to care for him and we would see the care workers just sitting there doing nothing, perfectly aware we were powerless to change anything or even throw them out. Eventually, after months of legal costs and being treated like abusers, we got in front of a judge and we were put back in charge after my dad begged for it. He was very close to the end then and I will always be bitter at how the state and these people conspired to take him away from us and prevent us from getting him better care during his final months.
Qualified immunity does not protect officers, it protects municipalities.

> But here's the rub - all those people whining about how cheapskate developers are because they don't want to shell out $5/day for ChatGPT/IntelliJ/Whatever aren't deriding people who are not using these paid for replacements.

> It's only ever the people using IDEA or Visual Studio or similar who develop superiority complexes over their choice of rentals.

Hmm, that's an interesting point, though I feel that sometimes we forget two aspects of software development (or also game development, to take a popular hobby as an example as well):

- developing software (and games, too) is hard and takes a lot of time and resources of all kinds, more so than most people realize
- many of these projects are only ever profitable (or even sustainable) because of being able to attract large audiences

Sometimes I'm stunned at indie games that are sold at 10 - 20$ and people are still up in arms about it being "too much", when the drink or meal that they enjoyed didn't take thousands of hours to create (although possibly is only cheap because of subsidies for certain ingredients, but that's besides the point), whereas software or a game did. The same goes for developers that want all of their software to be free, as if it should fund itself, albeit I also appreciate the free software movement.

It's more visible when you see post-mortems about how much indie creators struggle even if the projects themselves are well made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUsuusNLxik (first example that jumped in mind), though I'm sure that it happens to a lot of startups out there as well, that end up folding.

With that in mind, I can almost understand why people would be a bit upset that a demographic that's generally reasonably well off (developers) scoff at products that seem reasonably priced, especially when considering how much work has gone into them. Though personally, I think a bit more kindness could go around even then.

Organizations being too spending-conservative and not wanting to invest into tools that would both improve productivity and reduce stress is just puzzling (if you don't just explain it with ignorance, or greed).

Filipino here. I agree with most of your sentiments, there are lots of things to complain in our country but one thing you will never complain about is when it comes to freedom. It's too relaxed compared to other countries who are too polarized in local politics and geopolitics.

When you watch the news, of course you still get a bit of cortisol spikes, but here in Philippines you can literally unplug from that and live a somewhat simple peaceful life.

Generics consistently showed up as one of the most desired features (if not the most desired) by working Go developers in the previous developer surveys, so I think it makes sense that the Go team felt the ecosystem saw much value in it relative to other features and worth the time.
