Adult daycare is a bit harsh.

But even 'back in the day' on my first job out of college as a freshly minted CS major. My boss looked at me and said 'today you start to learn to write software'. He was mildly joking with me but was also very serious. A CS degree does not mean you can write software. Even 25 years ago I graduated with people who only took the intro pascal class and nothing else. These were CS majors. I knew going out on that I was a 'green' and had no real practical coding skills. Those I learned very quickly on the job.

I had all the fundamentals. The thing I was missing was writing software itself. Why testing is important. Why structure and readability is important. How to decompose the program into different systems. I am glad for the CS degree as those issues do pop up from time to time. Mostly though I am gluing this framework to that framework so someone can fill out a form and automate some paperwork system.

No you don't.

A very long time ago, they used buffers.
I was born and lived my youth in a small town. You know the kind where everyone knows everyone and you can't go out without seeing at least 10 relatives, neighbours or friends of friends. It might've been a fun place to live if you fit in to what they consider as "normal", but if your hobbies or interests (or other ways of living) differed from the norm too much, you'd be the butt of all rumours.

Then I tried a "big city" when I was studying, I could go out to the shops and never see anyone I know - or even see the same person twice. Everything was too noisy and people walked too fast.

Now I live somewhere in between. A city big enough to have services so I don't need to go 50-100km away just for basic things, but also small enough to have a "community" - but not so small that everyone knows everyone.

Now that COVID normalised remote work, I'm considering sizing down one more step, just to get a bigger home and maybe a yard for the same amount of money I'm paying now.

Also: not all countries are "greedy" to the extent that the US is. Yes, everyone loves to make money, but there are countries where your identity doesn't equal your profession.
> It is not outdated. [...] You're just succumbing to the misplaced belief that new means more value

Sure, technically you can still teach HTML in Internet Explorer 6 and OOP in Java 7 or something, but that has no added benefit and is actually more difficult to set up nowadays. And you can't deny that old versions are outdated when they don't even receive security updates anymore.

> the only thing that you get is more complexity.

What part of OOP basics got more complex in Java? And why teach Java at all if simpler OOP languages exist?
Not to mention that avoiding complexity can actually be counterproductive for teaching. As an example, I got more than 5 years of Java-focused programming education and afterwards I still didn't know what a classpath is and couldn't write a single line outside an IDE because nobody wanted to expose complicated stuff to the students. Instead of forbidding students from using a newer Java version one should focus on the actually important part.
Ah, internships. That oh so American way of company owners exploiting young people. Lots of work for no pay!!
Does YouTube premium also include ad free YouTube music like it does in the USA? I don't subscribe to a music service like Spotify because my YouTube premium subscription covers both.

Sometimes a friend (you doesn't subscribe to YouTube premium) will show me a YouTube video on their device. I find it impossible to watch YouTube without a subscription. I don't understand how the average user can tolerate the amount of ads.
Some hcol areas have rural areas nearby, that end up being like a low cost of living.

I live in south jersey, close to Philly. I am 20 minutes from bars and theaters and city life, but the cost of living is considerably lower. (ok, jersey taxes sucks)

Delaware is similar. There are many rural settings near Wilmington, and not too too far from Philly either.

Where I am is more like suburbia, but my daughter goes horseback riding 10 minutes from our house on a legit farm land.

We have dreamed of buying a farm near there, and it feels like cheating to live in a farm so close to city living.

Our house is more secluded than most, and I love the feeling of being isolated and not having to worry about my noise bothering the neighbors, and vice versa.

And it is clean. Dang. Most city's are filthy. I have to wash my shoes every time I go to NYC.

Our small town has a local board game store, and local breweries, and smaller stores.
I have gotten to know the people there, and made friends, and I am truly part of the community.
It takes actual effort to get out when you remote, and some of the people I know here are totally recluse. If you are an introvert, I would really consider the toll in human connection as a real possibility.

Smaller communities have problems too. And lots of "no one is doing anything about it" happens as well.
I moved to the suburbs, but that’s probably not what you mean.

A coworker lives on several acres in rural Georgia. It sounds like it has all of the ups and downs that you might imagine: his house is absolutely gorgeous, and he got to design and have it built himself. he uses a chainsaw several times per year, and now has strong opinions about chainsaw maintenance. But he hast to hire a tutor for his kids, because the local school is some combination of too far away and not good enough for the future he wants for them. Getting them socialized is an effortful thing. I haven’t heard him talk about good friends in the area, though there have been some colorful characters.
Not something I'd trust, especially considering the uptime... in December the MX Service was down for a total of 23 hours
Ten years ago is actually pretty much spot on for the time period I'm talking about - this was after the point at which trans people were just outright not welcome full stop (which is still surprisingly recent) and in fact one of the big ways the activists justified their views was by finding young trans people much like yourself with no existing ties to trans communities or activism, welcoming them in so long as they went along with the activists' existing views (including support for those who still wanted trans people not to be welcome), and pointing to them as proof their viewpoints totally weren't anti-trans. A lot of the prominent trans voices from that era were just a few years older than you and burned out hard once their worldview and contacts expanded beyond that of the narrow activist community and they discovered the activists wouldn't listen anymore if it brought their moral superiority into question.

The word "TERF" to describe the people and worldview that wanted to exclude trans people and trans rights from social justice activism wasn't even recorded as existing until 15 years ago, not because those views didn't exist - they're traceable in basically their modern form all the way back to like the seventies and are oddly pervasive - but because they succeeded well enough that even discussing the idea that this was a bad thing didn't start to become a part of activist discussion until then. This whole shift in viewpoint to that becoming unacceptable is incredibly recent.

Also, in general ordinary non-terminally-online people were much, much less anti-trans than both the "attack helecopter" anti-SJW side and the anti-trans campaigners that social justice activists were meant to sympathise with, though that may not have been obvious since one of the big things that was unacceptable was actually talking about what anti-trans people on the same side were doing and the real-world consequences (including stuff like laws they lobbied for). Admittedly, I'm from the UK so my experiences may not be representative of the US and other countries, but we are supposedly "TERF island" so that cuts both ways.
I think the Banking industry should bear the responsibility for the shortfall in depositors funds. I think they should be free to figure out among themselves and when things go so wrong that the Banking industry can't figure out we need Congress to regulate. I have no problem looser regulation but I believe it comes with greater responsibility.

Yes, after spending decade in cities of various sizes from 0,5 to mega cities like London, Berlin or Kuala Lumpur I moved to rural place of 2k people and started small winery.

That was in 2013 and that rural place was my hometown I left when I was 15 thinking I never got back.

Well, I lasted a year and then moved to nearby city of 500k. I still like to visit and do work in my vineyards, but I also found what I run away from when I was teenager: the community there is not only close knit, but also close minded and it was impossible to fit in.

> or if you don't go to church

This is something to be very careful about. If you aren't religious -- or, actually, if you aren't evangelical protestant or maybe in some places catholic -- there are many, many rural communities where you will be a de facto outsider. There are also many rural communities where this isn't true. You just have to be aware of this when deciding where to move.
AI, Semiotic Physics, and the Opcodes of Story World
I’m sure there are a few of us, I left the NYC to move to a rural area to raise goats and make cheese and soap. I kept my job and work remotely. It has been a challenge. Keeping my job means i’m not completely connected here, or dependent on it to make a living. It’s tough to live in a new place where most of the people have been here for generations. I have a small child now so I hope he’ll fit in and find his community, in a way that I can’t.

Being relatively self-sufficient is its own blessing, though. Especially over the past few years it has been great to have food security and almost everything I need here or within a few miles.

> Community banks are seeing a massive outflow of large accounts to banks which are considered to be "preferred"

I don't doubt this, but do you have a source? I'd love to know the actual numbers behind this.
It might get to be that way some day, but for now there is recourse. France is (in)famous for it and they are currently making use of that way.

And this is important because a "fair democratic society" that doesn't need people to be able to protest is, as history has shown many times, only a temporary affair. The best way to keep it is to not give the government the tools a worse government could use to suppress dissent.
The result of this is going to be everyone putting their funds into "too-big-to-fail" banks and we'll see the largest consolidation of banks in recent history. Which means a few institutions will have all the negotiating power to screw over depositors as much as they'd like. This is all just a big self-inflicted wound, wealthy depositors are cutting off the arm to try and save the hand.

> "Zero toxicity and probably several magnitudes more meaningful conversations with people from all around the world. This apparently comes from the kinds of people I could find and connect with."

I find it curious and ironic that there are a number of recommended block lists of Mastodon instances with a "free speech" being a category under which many instances are blocked.

I'm all for free-association and eliminating those with whom you disagree but it would be a mistake to credit ActivityPub (of which Mastodon is merely ONE server type) with creating a non-toxic environment without noticing how that happened.

> What makes you believe we have any control over the climate?

CO2 has two vibrational modes that are IR active. We release carbon as CO2 into the atmosphere that was previously bound inside the earth's crust. Humans increased the CO2 concentration from 280ppm to 420ppm (pre-industrial -> today). The science is settled. Whether you believe in it or not: Global warming is happening and humans are causing it. I understand that it is something you don't want to be true (and trust me, I would also love if it turned out to be wrong). But physics doesn't care if you want it to be true or not.
>College is not a trade school, it was never meant to train you for a job with rare exceptions like medical professionals and they have a lengthy apprentice program. I can get a CS/CE degree without ever stepping into an actual office, why would you expect me to know a job I've never done?

I agree with your sentiment. This was true for a while, but it isn't anymore. Companies would hire you just because you had a college degree, because it showed you were capable of learning. Once they stopped that and required particular degrees, it became a trade school.

People are very disappointed that they didn't get some depositors blown up in a bank run and are now going to push for it again, huh.

Let's not forget that SVB was solvent at the time of its collapse. That may sound like a contradiction but it isn't. SVB had more assets than liabilities.

On the Friday 25% of deposits were withdrawn. There is literally no bank that could sustain that.

I'm fine with the solution too: the FDIC seizes the banks and sells it for parts. Great. This isn't 2008.

Interestingly the risks posed to these banks may be the one thing that calls off the Fed from further raising interest rates. Maybe then we can get to the actual good solution to inflation: taxation. Specifically of windfall corporate profits. But probably not.
> and it straight up lied

I don't understand the insistence on anthropomorphzing ChatGPT. It didn't "lie", the algorithm just didn't translate the prompt you gave it to the result you desired. Doesn't that happen all the time with google searches also or with regular expression patterns that don't quite turn out to match what you wanted?

ChatGPT, Google's search engine, and a regular expressions algorithms are tools. Assessing them in turns of "trust" seems strange to me. I think it is better to think of them as being useful (or not) for particular types of problems.

Isn't that more of a reflection of the company and not the worker? Why would a worker stay when they can make significantly more at another company? If companies wanted to retain their workers you'd think they'd do a better job but it's been shown over and over and over again that if you want to earn a market rate wage you need to find a different job -finding a new employee is expensive, much more expensive than retaining that same employee but being penny wise and pound foolish seems to be how compensation works.
Same here.

Moved from London (9m pop) to suburban North Leeds (800,000-1m pop), much better. Still get the semi-anonymity of a city, and the things that I enjoy about them (varied food to eat out, markets, theatre, cinema, bowling etc), but I'm also 5 minutes from national parks, waterfalls etc.

The beauty about Leeds in the UK is as soon as you go North, there is basically nothing major until you hit Scotland. So you can be away from people very very quickly which is rare in the UK, whilst also not cutting yourself off from the world.

It's also ace as the city has a great identity and community. The running clubs are full of the most varied and grounded people, from all walks of life, that I have ever met. We do a lot of fell racing in the Yorkshire Dales in all elements. The community spirit found around running the rain, up hills, and bonding over cake, local beer and Yorkshire tea is amazing and reminds you of how great most humans are.

There is also great civic pride in local food, drink, culture. There are incredibly accessible and affordable spas for weekend breaks to sauna and massage (Rudding Park) within a 20 minute drive, that aren't booked out months in advance or full of instagrammers or full of London city bankers. Just locals having a laugh.

OP, I get the feeling, I almost did the same. But do not go remote for these reasons. Move somewhere smaller maybe (smaller cities have greater identity and community than large mega-cities without the drawback of towns or hamlets), but make sure you assess the world through the people you talk to and interact with, not the internet or news. Otherwise you will get way more depressed.

Happiness is only real when shared.
> Your right to freedom of speech is between you and the government. People aren’t required to publish your work just because you complain.

This is a strawman. Commenter said anything about the right to free speech, only about the willingness to be exposed to opposing viewpoints.

We all know that Bob is not obligated to listen to Alice, and he is not required to host a venue for her opinions. But Bob's eagerness to run away to a place where there is no risk of seeing Alice's view, while not necessarily bad (if you want to live in a bubble, live in a bubble), it is _not_ a virtue.

Right, that's exactly what I was talking about. We can agree on the surface about some things, but underlying priorities and views aren't really compatible even when things happen to align by accident.

Eg, my desire for having guaranteed social minimums isn't really compatible with your desire to personally control what your tax money gets spent on.
