>When the article says "90% of autistic people", are they talking about people who can't take care of themselves, or people that don't know what to do with their hands when I see them in the hallway?

well, that's up to the clinician and diagnosing staff rather than the off-hand judgement of someone who watches them in the hallways I guess.

>people who compounded habits into atypical personality traits.

the thing is that some people don't do this when confronted with environments that would prompt the behavior in other people; that alone indicates a difference between the two groups; probably one worth investigating.

Essentially everyone in the modern world has a mobile phone, internet connection, access to lots of media, etc -- but not everyone is autistic. That's the whole interesting catch, right?

That would indeed be a risk, but the circular logic of this means no new company could ever have any competence outside of its founders. Which feels shortsighted.

Any SWE should already have a professional portfolio ready to share with employers. Even an entry-level coder should have some class projects and hobbies to show at that point.

If you don't go around with a portfolio, then yeah, you can expect employers to be skeptical, and subject you to coding on the whiteboard, or leetcode or something, which isn't really going to reflect your actual coding ability, but it's more geared toward weeding out fakers in interviews.

On the other hand, if you have a portfolio, especially a public one shared on GitHub or such, then you can directly point to it and take credit for a good, hopefully working project, and you can explain it at length, and your prospective employer should hopefully take this as a strong signal that your skills are commensurate with your CV.

> YouTube said in a statement Thursday that it isn’t planning to launch a new app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it allow its longstanding iPad application to work on the device. YouTube, like Netflix, is recommending that customers use a web browser if they want to see its content: “YouTube users will be able to use YouTube in Safari on the Vision Pro at launch.”

> Spotify also isn’t planning a new app for visionOS — the Vision Pro’s operating system — and doesn’t expect to enable its iPad app to run on the device, according to a person familiar with matter.

It’s hard to say this in a way that doesn’t come across as a personal attack, but calling doing porn “taking the easy way out” is purely the view of people that aren’t having as much sex as they’d like to be. Any other level-headed person can see the physical and emotional toll such a career would involve. As someone that almost certainly sits in an air-conditioned room prodding at a keyboard all day to build some software nobody really wants and getting paid too much to do it, you and anyone else on this website are the last people that should be giving people lectures about what “real work” is. It’s cringey.

I’m not even going to bother addressing the notion that porn will be the downfall of society because this sort of faux-traditionalist elitism is going to be so engrained in you that…what’s the point? But maybe please take a look in the mirror and consider whether or not you’re really the person that should be telling others what “real work” is, and above all why that’s a thing that matters to you in the first place.
> IMO what makes a great programmer is leverage and leadership. It doesn't really matter if you're a rockstar "10x" etc., what matters is how your work empowers others. Nobody is programming in a vacuum.

Nah. There are those types of folks, but there are other folks who are clearly above the rest in terms of technical ability. See John Carmack, Sanfilippo (of Redis fame), 100s of others. Or heck even folks who deeply understand the entire stack like Casey Muratori.

To act like there aren't folks who are "rockstars" or simply better software engineers, and at some point it boils down to soft skills, impact and leverage is corporate bullshit. There ARE people who are simply more technically gifted.

The OP didn’t ask about how to become a staff engineer, they asked how to become a great programmer. Those are not the same thing.
It appears the western public's understanding of geopolitical realities is always a decade behind. _Right now_, all of NATO combined can't even outproduce Russia alone. We don't need to be talking hypotheticals, it is literally happening in real time.

plus if a conflict like that occurs then clearly the US has lost significant power. so why would it be a given that American neo-colonies stay on its side?
That's why (well, one reason why) the U.S. keeps Japan and Germany in its sphere of influence. Same for Saudi Arabia (major oil producer) and Taiwan (major chip producer). Notice that U.S. / Saudi relations soured a fair bit after the U.S. became the largest global oil producer again (thanks to fracking and shale oil). We're a bit less willing to overlook an authoritarian dictatorship when we don't need them.

The challenge with all international relationships is that they're not stable. Germany almost didn't back us on Ukraine, for example, because Russia threatened to cut off the supply of natural gas and make its citizens freeze in the winter of 2022/2023. Only because the NordStream pipeline blew up anyway (an act of sabotage that American journalists have attributed to the U.S.) and the U.S. secured alternate sources of heating for Germany did they back us on Ukraine. Had it been a different regime in power in either the U.S. or Germany, that could've turned out very differently.

+1 for B/G. That said, I imagine they couldn’t use it due to the cross-account shift. I’ve used it for both MySQL (with much higher QPS than TFA, by two orders of magnitude) and Postgres, and they both went flawlessly.

Because they don't know any better? My understanding is that the two treatment options regardless of diagnosis and regardless of hardware are either "medicine" or "self-awareness leading to behavioral change" (where therapy is often the delivery mechanism, but can also be self-help or mindfulness)

Yes. But really Indonesia has taken over from South Korea (and China and Mexico for some parts of the market). E.g. PRS used to make their SE line in South Korea and the quality was excellent. "Good guitar" is somewhat subjective. US brands like PRS, Gibson and Fender are still able to charge a premium for a US made instrument. This isn't necessarily because the US has some abilities that the foreign makers don't, it's more of a marketing strategy.

Note that this is mostly commercial failure. A lot of these entries were either too early, implemented badly or adopted by hackers, nerds, independent musicians, etc.

For example, the Roland TB-303 is listed as a commercial flop, but for some reason they omitted the TR-808, which was also a commercial flop [0]. The narrative goes that the "affordably" priced synths then got dumped into thrift stores and available at bargain basement prices that the next generation of musicians then picked up and used. I've heard Snoop Dogg did something similar with editing equipment (though I can't find the reference now).

Pets.com was a failure but Chewy.com is going strong. Cue-Cat was a financial failure but was a shot in the arm of a lot of hardware hackers at the time.

Weird to see "No Man's Sky" as I was under the impression that was a commercial success.

Of course, some were just abject failures, like Theranos.

Right. This thread should be talking about Mastodon FAR earlier. I do not care AT ALL that VCs can't figure out how to make money from social media directly; if anything, I expect that. It shows that there's nothing particularly intelligent (and maybe perhaps even useful) about VC money.

There are other models. Lots of them. We've seen a ton of them work to various degrees.

Now, Mastodon is probably the right model for social media. I wish folks here could get their collective heads out of VC-money-land and realize this (presuming one thinks that there is utility in social media, which I do.)

And much like the internet itself, there's even money here as well.

Ask Eli Lilly. If they had signed on to something like Mastodon, where they could be their OWN source of truth, perhaps they wouldn't have had their "Insulin is free" moment.
I’m building a side project app (that hopefully becomes a revenue generating SaaS, stay tuned) that will leverage AI to summarize lots of content at scale.

phage (a.k.a. bacteriophage) is a virus that infect bacteria. Once infected, there are two possible strategies. Some phages have fixed strategy and some can make uhmmm educated guess of which strategy is better.

Phages already proven to work well together with antibiotics, but I guess this paper gets us closer to using phages instead of antibiotics.

More accessible. People with walkers can access the apartment, as can people in smaller wheelchairs, if there is a small elevator. In NYC plenty of older people live in pre-war buildings with tiny elevators. Few live in third floor walk up apartments.

My point is exactly that the ADA, in this case, lets the perfect (fully accessible elevator) result in worse outcomes (brand new apartments in 3-5 story buildings require walking up stairs). This is especially harmful in cities where many homes are on small, 12-20 ft wide lots.

As an example I know people who had to move out of their home when they tore their ACL, whereas with a small elevator they would not need to. To be clear I think we need many many more ADA-accessible apartments, but wherever you are allowed to not have an elevator at all, you should also be allowed to have a small 1-2 person elevator in addition to the stairs.
