You claim that shouting must happen because there's a conflict: the idea of individual self-respect (in one's economic value or merit) is eroding while liberal democratic institutions are incapable of dealing with change. This seems deeply contradictory. The Rawlsian reason why liberal democratic institutions exist is to safeguard the idea of individual self-respect. If we find ourselves shouting due to a lack of belief in liberal democratic institutions then the idea that a system even exists to ensure individual self-respect is contradictory. Liberal democracy has either failed and we lay with another form of our old friend the Leviathan or it hasn't and we must uphold its institutions and ensure individual rights and justice.

I want to emphasize that I feel that liberal democratic societies have deep obligations to ensure some economic stability for their citizens as well. (I draw a lot of inspiration from Rawls though I don't agree with him on everything.) I'm personally a fan of UBI here, but there are alternate proposals which ensure some form of economic dignity for members of liberal democratic societies. But shouting and raging and rejecting democratic institutions is not the way.

> We are about to lose the sociopolitical institution that undergirds a huge amount of individual self-respect, namely, economic merit. If we had good sense, we'd stop right here.

Forgive me in remarking that this sounds remarkably Burkean.

> Anticipating the obvious: yes, the market for talent is a sociopolitical institution; if you need more on this, I'm happy to keep talking.

Indeed, I'd love to see more on this. A Marxist might claim that the idea of economic merit and talent is but a facet of bourgeois society and a post-structuralist that the idea that one is owed economic merit at all is but a construction.

> Regardless of what you prefer to call it: Might I suggest that you re-invest in the Principle of Charity? It would make our conversation more interesting. (This is its usual function.)

Forgive me if I made assumptions, and I believe my tone came across as more combative than it was meant to be. But when you gesture at popular culture's disdain for techies as some form of proof of our sins, you make it difficult to take the argument seriously. Moreover my reply was meant more for whom I replied to rather than to you directly. You can accuse me of speaking "toward the audience" which I will admit is a bad habit of mine. But I've seen enough poorly understood "Paradox of Tolerance" and "Your fists' rights end where my face begins" shares on the internet that I don't always approach these conversations with the best of faith.

The secret sauce is generational wealth. People whose parents are extremely well off have a larger chance at succeeding in building their business. Not only does their parents have money, but also the right connections at that wealth level. They basically manufacture their own luck, and their money buys time and labor to get their product first to market.

Sometimes the average joe can taste certain components of that secret sauce, because they're brilliant and hard-working, and was at the right time and place. But it's a very rare occurrence.

My job also calls this a manager. I’m the technical team lead and my boss (our manager) manages 3 separate teams consisting of a QA, 3-4 devs, and a then we have a PO (who is part of a separate management structure and reports to a different person).

Boss is ultimately responsible for hiring/firing/pay (aside from some minor HR stuff) although he mostly relies on my assessment of people’s technical acumen. He attends our daily standups and likes to show up for important meetings. He also handle big picture estimations of how long our dev process is going to take, with my input.

Does that make me the devs manager? Maybe? So far the position is like a 70% technical 30% managerial position it feels like.

But having a party that can, during the "good times" manipulate the situation, such that during a bad time, they can still stay in power. Aka, they only "pull the trigger" after they know they'd be kicked out, thus preventing themselves from getting kicked out.

My subjective experience was that Vietnamese were rather friendly to Americans, while they did not have a lot of love for Chinese. "Americans killed us and committed atrocities, but China wants to take our things, dominate us, or erase us" was kind of the sentiment I got. I was surprised that in many parts of Vietnam signs are in Vietnamese, English, and Korean, while Chinese is suspiciously missing.

Now America is the main pressure pushing back on China in the south china sea. I'm starting to see "made in Vietnam" on all types of items in US stores. Half of Vietnamese that live abroad live in America...

We have incredible amounts of media that are very anti Vietnam war and the general sentiment that I grew up in is that we (the us) were the bad guys. The sentiment I saw in north Vietnam was that they won by attrition and manipulating US public opinion.

Going to Vietnam and seeing the agent orange museum was pretty shocking and dreadful. There was a general understanding we massacred women and children, but agent orange might have been a paragraph in a textbook taught clinically rather than emotionally. Bourdain's episode on Laos might have been the first time I heard about all the unexploded ordinance and mines. It's a pretty bad feeling.

My entire experience with public education, there was no justification or defense of the war. There was one message. We were bad.

All things considered, I don't think we have done/are doing as much as we should, but I also don't think we completely flouted any responsibility to Vietnam.

I suppose my opinion doesn't matter very much, and it would be nice to hear from someone from Vietnam.
>To me, although I’d certainly concede that WFH pares down meeting culture and certainly has benefits in logistics, it’s always been fairly obvious that in-person collaboration is more effective, produces a much stronger culture, and I suspect is important especially to larger orgs because it helps to even out performance.

The anti-WFH screeds are always nearly indentical: extremely vague and non-quantifiable in a way that makes them technically impossible to argue against. I can't argue against the idea that they produce a much "stronger culture" I guess because how would anyone even begin to prove that one way or another? We probably couldn't come to a consensus on what that even means.

If coming in to the office had the positive impact pro-office people said it did I promise you that by now, 3 years after COVID lockdowns started, someone would have managed to put together some actual hard data instead of the same "culture", "watercooler ideas", "ad hoc collaboration" nonsense we've been seeing constantly since then.
It needs to be more like a trade school. The vast majority of jobs call for workers who can create and maintain programs that actually do things, not just theory.

I've encountered far too many CS interns and grads who couldn't actually write reliable, non-spaghetti code. They also typically write commit messages that consist entirely of "Updated $THING" (no shit, I can see that from your diff), nothing about the why.

My perspective may be slightly skewed from being called in as a consultant to fix the software these "computer scientists" have been hacking on, but I encountered a lot of these people when I was a undergrad student also.
I’m the summer I had a ton of brown widows and some black widows on my property. After reading up on it I wanted to let the brown widows hang around but honestly I started finding way too many everywhere. If you do have these, beware they reproduce in the summer at a very fast pace.

Once it got cold I haven seen any of them. I did have to take care of some I found on things my toddler frequents.

If one Maori tribe wins a battle with another tribe, occupies its territory, and eats the slain losers, would we describe that as "competition" or "predation"?

We don't describe ourselves as "outcompeting" tuna because they don't have anything we want.

But the brown widows are infringing on the black widows' niche; they are specifically described as occupying the territory they're removing the black widows from and it's a safe bet that, with their webs in the same places, they're eating the same things. The human population of the ocean remains at zero.

Small datasets for learning about machine learning abound, which can run be locally.
At some point in our education we have to memorize the rules for manipulating algebraic formulas, trigonometric identities, etc. It would be hard to learn calculus without being able to do these things unconsciously.

On the other hand, what a professional mathematician does is create new tools for proving theorems. This can't be memorized because, by definition, the knowledge didn't exist. It's true that they draw on previous experience having solved similar problems. But it's not clear to me that this knowledge is most efficiently gotten by drilling the same problems over and over.

I think this idea of using Anki for learning everything is misguided because it attempts to reduce complex topics and pragmatic know-how to a set of trivia questions. An example from the article: the author wanted to understand the AlphaGo paper, and some example flashcards were "who plays first in Go" and "where did AlphaGo get its training data". They probably could have acquired a much deeper understanding by playing a few games of Go and implementing a reinforcement learning algorithm for tic-tac-toe. Incidentally, that also sounds a lot more fun and motivating to me than studying flashcards.
Even new super premium wireless cans like the Focal Bathys don't have LDAC. Despite Samsung being the most popular Android vendor and famously having LDAC but not licensing AptX.

I have the same reservations around jailbreaking. My only requirement was the ability to disable YouTube Shorts (I find it excessively addictive), which you can't do in the official app.

I haven't had any major issue with AltStore. As long as I have the Mail/AltStore server app running on my Mac, it tends to just work. If I forgot to open Mail or AltStore after a restart, the apps stop working and I need to reinstall AltStore from my Mac, but it takes under 2 minutes and might happen a handful of times per year. That's less than the the time I'd waste on YT Shorts in a day.

When hiring a newly minted undergrad, you should expect to need to do some mentoring on the nuts and bolts of programming. CS is not about lucid commit messages.

If you want a trade school grad, hire one from a trade school. There's nothing wrong with that.

I wouldn't hire a Caltech grad to fix my transmission, either. (I could fix your transmission, but AFAIK I was the only motorhead at Caltech, which was pretty disappointing.)
A type system is an aspect of programming. I would hope a CS course covers type systems.
> in-person collaboration is more effective, produces a much stronger culture

I believe the second part but not the first. The most productive collaborations I've had by far have been virtual. People rapid fire exchanging ideas, testing things out on slack, quickly sharing screens to solve a problem and then jumping out again to focus on the next bit, etc. When it works well it's exhilirating. Everyone will have encountered situations when it worked badly. But nothing is as unproductive 12 people spending hours in a room where it inevitably gets dominated by 1 or 2 extroverts and the rest sit back passively. Doing it well either way is hard.

Proving something about a type system requires zero expertise in programming, debugging, git, Linux, C++, etc. And expertise in programming, debugging, etc., is of zero use in attempting to prove something about the type system.

As has been pointed out to me several times by CS academics, I could stand taking a course in type theory. I have a good intuitive sense about it (likely from my math background), but have no idea how to prove something about it.
This reads to me "poor" management that everyone else needs to compensate for. I would be interested to see if moving managers back into more IC roles improves the purpose of meetings, focuses on better training, provides more push-back useless projects, etc as they are now part of the pulse verses being an observer.

> High caliber, experienced employees probably get just as much done at home at > the office, or maybe more,

So you remove the location and high caliber, experienced employees can adapt and probably need very little management. I think these types of people need less "team cohesion" and could probably be dropped in at any company and make the same impact. They most likely ask a lot of internal questions and look at the bigger picture of where things are going. Its usually why they know when to leave a company, they are part of the pulse and loose enough of them and you flat line.

> but junior employees with less direction struggle more

My understanding here would be this is why a manager would be needed, however since they have people who don't know the flow of things they need the IC's to now become trainers and perform on-boarding, while also staying current themselves. Shouldn't these struggles have come up in all the 1-on-1's and performance review's. What were all these managers doing during their WFH?

>and WFH provides the ultimate cover for less motivated people (which in a larger company will always be > a percentage of the total) that might otherwise be held more accountable in-person.

This one is always subjective but I'm sure a percentage of people were let down by all the interview hoops they went through and mock white-board "thought" experiments only to get to work on some mundane task that they are supposed to be "motivated" to do. Again, though would this accountability be seen in all the 1-on-1's and meetings that managers were having with people. Who's to say "less motivation" was just getting the work that was asked, done. At a certain price point compared to your peers and manager why would you go out of your way to fix processes or other items unless it made your work easier? I'm sure there was a person hired to specifically address that, what they doing?
Chomsky's approach to language killed traditional philology and real engagement with other languages in linguistics. If all languages can be reduced to a universal grammar, you can just look at English and learn about all languages! This leads to me encountering a horrifying number of "linguists" without competency outside of English.

All this, when we have multiple documented natural languages which violate key parts of Chomsky's work.

This is even worse when looking at language instruction, where older materials are significantly more effective. Polyglots will recommend "Teach Yourself" or "Colloquial" books from the 40-50s, the same with Linguaphone, Assimil etc. for the most part. (50 hours with Assimil and you're scratching B2!) Modern materials built on modern pedagogical methods bring the user nowhere after significantly more time invested.
I don't think that this will convince you but it's open source (https://github.com/altstoreio/AltStore), and you could a separate Apple ID specifically only for signing (https://faq.altstore.io/getting-started/troubleshooting-guid...).

If you can't imagine some percentage of Chinese being genuinely patriotic, you probably need to expand your imagination a bit.
