I don’t understand Americans POV on this subject.

Other than providing tutors and making sure their children are in the best secondary schools, I don’t understand the American obsession with paying for college.

The best way to prepare your child is to let them experience reality not coddle them.

- A luxury university diploma will not guarantee a good job

- There are other educational opportunities besides an expensive university

- Acquiring internships and work experience is far more valuable to establishing a network and getting your foot in the door

It is unrealistic to expect parents to go into crippling debt to pay for your entire time at a luxury university when a regular school and internships will suffice.
> Elon Musk has a long history of misleading people about Tesla. Whether it's embellishment, overestimation of what they can accomplish, or outright lies is up for debate, but the fact remains that they habitually over-promise and under-deliver.

I think that everyone should look on his "forward looking statements" with a higher than normal degree of skepticism. He does seem to pull off a lot of outlandish stuff, though, so it doesn't pay to be too skeptical.

> I consider him and his companies to be completely untrustworthy. He could be selling water in the desert and I still would never buy another thing from him.

I don't think that that same level of skepticism is warranted towards his statements about what is true today. But then again, I haven't been following him very closely, so maybe his pant are constantly on fire.

This is a nice refinement to the discussion.
There is an element of truth to Goodhart's law, but it is certainly not a law and it is maybe not even a default condition. As per the author, the work of Demming clearly shows that measuring tolerances has a good effect on quality. I personally even seen Goodhart's law (mis)applied to discussions of machine learning pipelines, so clearly there are glaring exceptions to the utility of metrics.
This is the same argument white supremacists make. Why would I take either one seriously?
You could have gone with an oppressive regime brutalising its own citizens on the basis of a fundamentalist interpretation of a religion, or that they are helping to arm a country currently engaging in imperialism and genocide again under the pretence of a holy war, but instead you went with “racism”. Nice.
I think churn in NPM might be an effect of how quickly the browsers and language are evolving. There’s always some new interface that will make your existing code faster or cleaner.
I started a business outside of pure software and ran it from 2012-2023. It's probably still considered tech because we were making and selling electronic devices that had microcontrollers and still had software.

I also have a YouTube channel which I focused seriously on for a year or two. I decided I wasn't really enjoying it or making enough money to continue doing it seriously. I still publish videos and make about a thousand bucks a year.

I am now running a software startup which I founded in 2020. I plan on using the profits to buy a farm. I could probably buy a farm now, but I still want to build the startup and continue on with my current lifestyle for the time being. If that doesn't work out, I will farm in my backyard like I am doing already.

You might be able to "retire" now if you cut your expenses. My yearly budget for all expenses (medical, taxes, food, housing, transportation, vacation, hobbies, entertainment, etc.) is $32,000.

My budget margins are thin, but if nothing drastic changes, I should be able to continue at my current lifestyle in perpetuity. I am keeping my tech skills active if I need to go back to work at a "real job" at any point, but the plan is for the startup to be generating some revenue this year.
Why would finding raw materials for storage change how you generate the power?
Yeah, Meta must have had a plan for "when this gets leaked" because they put up only the flimsiest of foils. As per other comments the most likely is simply that they could shield themselves (and plausibly litigate with grounds) while ensuring that the model escapes into the wild to wreak its chaos against MS (OAI) and big G. This way they can see what's what from the safety of their shielded bubble and make a more informed call about changing the license to something more permissive if it looks like the strategic wins against their enemies would be worthwhile. Win win win. (Except for the leaker, that was an unfortunate own goal, they're going down).

I'd be curious to know what you need to debug on a regular basis. I don't have to do anything with alsa. On pipewire I just use pulseaudio volume control to define the sound levels and codec used by the different audio devices/interfaces I plug into. This is pretty seamless. And that's it.

The only things that makes me pull my hair sometimes are pairing bluetooth devices but that is regardless of the OS. It may just be that some hardware/firmwares of bluetooth devices are just shitty because it is the same misery regardless if I am on mobile, windows, linux, whatever.

hello
"These things are much easier to reason about and to compose than classes with inheritance."

Fair. Personally, that looks like an argument for objects rather than against.

Do these concepts oppose or complement OOP? Is inheritance somehow a hidden requirement?
There's not much of a debate. Windows as a server is dead outside sme shops. This isn't the 90s anymore. But it is very nostalgic hearing people talk up microsoft. It's not something I'd heard in the last 15 years.
I'm actually a bit torn on this.
On the one hand it does seem to be very silly but also ironically enough excluding certain groups (religious and social outcasts).

On the other I think there is a valid point in looking over how language is used and what implications it has.

But to try and over correct it with new words is like trying to add another layer of paper to make the boat not leak.
Since instead of saying you are a retard, now you just say: person with mental challenges.

It has the same result when used as an insult, it stigmatizes people with "retardation" and it still insults the other person.

The whole point of UNIX is to use independent, composable tools that speak the same interface. If the interface is space-separated values, use space-separated values. If Excel or PowerBI don't use that then don't use Excel or PowerBI.
But it's still Moscow, Russia and not Moskva, Rossiya. It's Tokyo, Japan not Toukyou, Nippon and Germany and not Deutschland. If you're going to drop exonyms, you should at least do it consistently, rather than only for currently-trending locations.

I left a very toxic job where I was the only dev 11 months ago.
Kinda been on sabbatical and living off savings.

I've done several other things outside of dev (farming, art modeling, rideshare and deliveries, clinical trial, retail, and am actually working as a dishwasher tonight)

Harsh reality has set in that I need to return to work though.

The thing is...for most people there's not much you can do that will even let you make close to half of what you'd make in tech.

I also found that I was stressing myself out at minimum wage jobs too (not even close to as bad as tech).

So I kinda concluded that you should make as much as you can if you're gonna be stressed (to an extent of course).

I don't have family or any big payments, debt. I live below my means. Just turned 30 and one thing I'm considering is working for next decade in tech and investing everything to retire in early 40s
... but ... are "group of academics [..] sit around and decide that a group as a whole needs saving"? (Yes, probably some are, academia always has a few truly crazy people.)

Mostly they parrot the same "old tautologies" (like language matters, structural issues are real, people's personal prejudices manifest in many ways, etc) in various new forms, shapes, phrasings.

However, that doesn't mean they are wrong. (Nor that they are automatically right.)

white knights are not academics, they are usually the walking-talking examples of severe Dunning-Kruger phenomena.

... I'm writing all this, because your post uses very broad and general terms like progressives and academics, and I think that's bad. (Because it forces my ego to reconsider the `progressive` label, that I used to apply to myself. Naturally without doing anything good/bad progressive really. :| )

Increasing reliance how? They do have a factory in China, but they're building their next one in Mexico.
I hate to admit that I very often start the python repl to just do some simple calculations. I always have multiple terminals open so instead of opening a calculator I just use python in one of the terminals.
Never heard of Carbon before, but I took a look at some code, and it seems like you could change a few symbols and it starts to look a lot like Rust...

Given that Carbon isn't ready, I think if you're porting something from C++ and Carbon looks good to you, Rust might be the way to go.

Alternatively, if you wanted something more functional, I've heard good things about OCaml
Well put.

My language skills and time pressure fails me here, just wanted to express general "thanks folks" for your reactions as well. Seeing that someone shares similar point of view on this topic made me surprisingly very happy, so thank you again.
I think they were using it as shorthand for all of the physical risks that physical fabricators have, rather than saying circular saws are the one single risk and there is no mitigation.
That is a massive switch, would have thought usually the other way round!
Totally depends on the business you're in.

If you're dealing in areas with short time limits then Python is great,
because you can't sell a ticket for a ship that has sailed.

And I've seen "the right way" which, again, depending on the business may
result in a well designed product that is not what's actually needed (because
people are really bad at defining what they want)

What's brilliant with Python compared to other hacky solutions that it
does support test, type hints, version control and other things. It just
doesn't force you to work that way. But if you want to write stable, maintainable
code, you can do it.

That means you can write your code without types and add them later.
Or add tests later once your prototype was been accepted. Or whenever something
goes wrong in production, fix it and then write a test against that.

Oh and I totally agree you should certainly try to "do things the right way",
if the business allows it.
As I said, If you're trying to use vim like emacs, you're doing it wrong. You can and people do, but that's not the point. See my second link on the subject.

It's usually not that simple. At my company, for instance, a device registered as Windows will be blocked from the network if security updates are not installed within a reasonable period of time, so any non-Windows device needs to be registered as such and it's use justified.

Remote too, but I met most people in person at least once, we use avatars, and definitely don't work with 100 people.

That said I know a few trans people, the number of people I know with pronouns that don't match the name is 0. The number of people wanting the equivalent of they in my language is so small I can remember it easily.
Python’s “simplicity” and “beauty” are always so over-emphasized. Maybe compared to something like C or Fortran or R… But it’s a pretty messy, complex language.

Try a lisp instead.
The underlying issue is Corporate wonderland is a mindless machine whether you work with computers or not.

Bluesky Private Beta Update
In some ways I feel lucky that tech was an early career change for me. I was trying to get a career in the arts off the ground, and it was going poorly. I was a recent grad millennial in the economy of the 2008 recession.

The decision to turn my back on what I thought was my passion was a profound spiritual experience. The decision to change came from outside of me. The decision of what path to follow was up to me though.

Tech was hiring and hiring like crazy, and I wasn't going to do an unprofitable degree twice so CS it was. I had a job before I graduated making 4x what my mom was making at her non-profit admin job.

If I hadn't pursued my art career first and had the chance to get deeply disillusioned with it, I would definitely be sitting at my desk trying to write code and thinking "what if... I'm not made for this... there's something else..." The truth is that I'm not cut out for the arts industry. I like stability, I like being salaried, I like having the upper hand in the hiring market (I know Big Tech is doing layoffs, but try spamming applications for a year to everything you can think of until the only place that calls you back is a cashier position at a grocery store. I have skills that are in demand now.) I like work that is decent and stimulating enough but which is definitely not "my passion" because that helps me keep boundaries on it.

I feel for folks who didn't get that chance to try out that other thing, who went straight into this career maybe because they wanted to, maybe because they didn't have the safety net I had that allowed me to do a second degree, maybe because life has held them down and change doesn't feel like an option. I've been out there with my chosen field and gotten burned hard by it so I'm content to stay put. It's definitely one of the cliche sayings about how the lows make the highs much higher.

I have no useful advice for anybody beyond their very early 20s facing this question. I know I would be eaten by this question if I hadn't already gotten my answer at the start.
The problem with health insurance is the healthy know who they are and the unhealthy know who they are, so you have massive adverse selection.

Hence, the ACA rule (now defunct per 2017 TCJA) to require everyone to buy health insurance.
I do not hate Tesla. It's just a plain fact that their announcements don't carry information. They might do it, or they might not, and the press release gives us no additional reason to believe either way.

But the specific form of this announcement is industry catch-up. Other makes already ship zero-rare-earth motors to the mass market, and Tesla did itself in the past.
> Oh wow, it installs its own legitimate but vunerable firmware.

No it doesn't. It's using a legitimate but vulnerable version of the windows bootloader which hasn't been added to the UEFI revocation list yet. It's not doing anything with firmware.

Downgrading UEFI firmware would be far more complicated.
Why are you talking about college? Having kids in general is very, very expensive. More so if you want to provide them with opportunities and activities as they grow up.
Nice, it makes us two tech leads then.
It's less a question about what changes, and more a question about how well you can recall your past experience (I had the big picture, but forgot the details of several optimizations I'd written in the past, as well as certain CS fundamentals), and how well you can do online coding interviews (I've only written Coq, at a glacial pace, over the last three years).

I will mainly be working on the middle-end and back-end for RISC-V.

I really can’t stand the appeal. It’s so much more verbose and clunky than Typescript. I want to understand why people choose it but I can’t justify using a worse, more verbose, less readable, and less powerful version of Typescript when I can just change a j to a t and have the real deal.
Anything that takes resources from Putin is worth it. China does not currently wage war in the center of Europe and neither it use terrorist attacks against civilian population in countries that compete with them.
That link mentions something not mentioned here - that the Iranians were sent their own money.
So do they estimate how much computing power/time they will need and then find some upper tier minimum $ amount to get the maximum discount possible or getting a certain resource availability commitment from Google? That's an interesting accounting problem.

Look into the entomology of the word "retarded." They keep changing the word, but whatever they replace it with becomes a pejorative, because the thing it's describing is intuitively understood to be negative. Preying upon people's sense of justice to promote censorship in the name of justice is... oh what's the word...
One important part of the answer is that there are two „Porsches“, a holding and a car manufacturer. It is also complicated though and there is much speculation who has how much influence.
I have a comment on this site about Carbon from its initial announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32158805

A short summary of my feelings is that it has some syntactic oddities, it's too incomplete in some areas to fully evaluate (particularly error handling), and it completely botches overflow. Whatever your opinions on undefined behavior on integer overflow, there really is no justification for keying undefined-versus-well-defined on signed versus unsigned.
I'm going to guess you have never worked a service job.

It sucks. People suck, you get yelled at, insulted, demeaned, shit pay, long hours.

What is there to complain about?

What if the added calorie need comes from rapeseed oil or something really cheap? :D

But I think there's some factors at play here. One is that if I didn't commute to work, I would have to work out some other way to get my daily movement in. So it's not necessarily that I eat more just to bike. I just use that energy to move myself to work instead of on a treadmill going no where.

Another interesting factor is what about electrical bikes? The amount of kWh needed to move a small person vs multiple tonnes of car should make it a huge win.

It's supposed to be faster, smaller, and easier to integrate into other applications and systems than QEMU. In my tests it's sometimes faster and definitely smaller and simpler.

I think it's also easier to build as WASM and run in a browser.

I don't think 100% feature parity with QEMU is a goal.
The person you replied to (shrimp_emoji) was responding to the statement "a pregnant person is a woman".

"A pregnant person is a woman" doesn't say anything about what people are allowed to call themselves, but rather makes an absolute statement that all pregnant people can be called "women". It doesn't take into account the edge cases you mentioned, and that's what shrimp_emoji took offense to.

Agreed. Python's REPL has basically totally replaced my usage of Emacs calc as a desk calculator, mainly because it is always there and if I don't know the big-brain closed-form solution for something like compound interest, I can just write a loop and figure it out that way.
