> don't fool yourself into thinking they are gold currency on the job market.

I must have gotten lucky then because I’ve built most of my career off my incredible troubleshooting capacity and my communication capability.

I’m not earning Silicon Valley money (because thankfully I don’t live there) but I’m at the top end for salaries in my country. I out earn the vast majority of devs/devops people I know.

Maybe it’s a bit unfair though because I troubleshoot at a very different level to most I suspect.

edit

Or maybe I’ve been applying the wrong word to what I do my entire career…or misunderstanding why I’m valued. This is more possible than it might seem.

edit

For further context, i've held a wide variety of positions now within IT, including executive management. The problem is still, and I know this will sound stupid, I don't know how it is I got here, or why people valued me enough to keep me promoting me. I never even asked for the promotions they just...happened. This has made applying for new jobs harder, because I've never actually been entirely sure what my value is, so I often take jobs that are lower than my last job, but then everytime its not long before I end up well above that again.

I eventually assumed it must be my troubleshooting capacity. I asked a CEO I worked with once at a smaller startup why it is he kept promoting me, and I got this story about how by just being in the room, everyone around me wants to do better work. Not because they are being told to do so, but because the work I do apparently just inspires people around me to do better. I was the truest example he had seen apparently of 'lead by example.'

It's been very problematic because despite earning good money, and having never struggled to find, retain or advance in a job, I still don't truely know what it is exactly i'm good at.

I think im terrible at explaining this. Every time I have tried to talk to someone about it in real life they just end up telling me I have impostor syndrome. Of course I do, I don't really know what the fuck it is I do.
The article doesn’t mention it, so I will ask: what is the data which farmers need, and how do they use that data? I could imagine some info about rainfall, heat and sun being useful but I am curious how the typical farmer applies this information.
> It will never be adopted by 99% of the developer community (or writing community at large).

Something that will never be adopted by 99% of folks is totally fine.

Most of my SW has less than 1% the adoption of org mode users (and thus less than 99.99% of the dev community will use it). Should I be concerned? Of course not!
It doesn't help that the tech industry is slowly collapsing while all of the tech leaders are jumping into politics.

That's the point. That's why Skype had supernodes, and that's why Skype on mobiles meant that Microsoft needed to run its own supernodes. At that point, you might as well add features like multiparty video calls, and then it makes no sense to have your users install supernodes software.
What's the Best Career Move for Me?"
I'm in my pre-final year and actively looking for a job with good pay. I have experience in web, mobile, and Electron app development, mainly skilled in JavaScript (Next.js, React, Node), along with C++ and Python. My tech stack includes Redux, Django, Firebase, GraphQL, WebRTC, Electron.js, and cloud platforms like AWS and DigitalOcean. I've done multiple internships and freelance projects, but I feel like I'm becoming a jack-of-all-trades. People suggest focusing on DSA, diving into DevOps, or mastering C++, but I’m unsure what direction to take.

Right now, should I focus on remote jobs? If so, what skills or projects can help me stand out in the global market? Should I specialize or stay broad? What’s the best strategy for me to land a well-paying job?"

Microsoft has a cert called "Most Valuable Professional" that gives out a ton of free stuff (free MSDN subscription, free admission to a conference that gives away hardware, etc). It also probably looks good on your resume to hiring managers who don't know any better. Renewing the cert involves doing "community work", and the easiest way to do community work is to post a lot on Microsoft's forums. Microsoft doesn't care about the quality of the posts, or whether they solve the problem, solely about the number. This is why whenever you look up a Windows issue and go to Microsoft's forums, you always see people posting the same copy-pasted "Hi, I'm a Microsoft community expert who has been providing independent Windows advice for the past 10 years. blah blah blah Have you tried running sfc /scannow?" response to every single problem.

The intended audience is eating this up. If you go to conservative spaces, NATO now is considered a rip off, the EU was apparently designed to hurt the US, Zelensky is a dictator, etc.
I'm going with the idea that it is screwed up, even if intentional.
Weird the section of people wanting fairness to LLMs.

If it makes you feel better, I'd say the Eliza Effect is good evidence human have a lot of "stochastic parrot" in them also. And there's no reason that being stochastic parrot means something can't generalize.

The thing with these terms is LLMs are distinctly new things. Even blind men looking at elephants can improve their performance with good terminology and by listening to each other. "Effective searchers", "question answers" and "stochastic parrots" are useful term just 'cause the describe concrete behaviors - notably "stochastic parrots" gives some idea of the "no particular goal" quality of LLMs (will happily be NAZIs, pacifists or communists given the proper context). On the other hand, "intelligent" gives no good clues since humans haven't really defined the term for themselves and it is a synonym for good, worthy or capable (giving the machine a prize rather than looking at it).
The theory is that the only reason Vance was present was to be able to double-team Zelenskyy.
Just like cryptocurrency. For a brief moment, HN worshiped at the altar of the blockchain. This technology was going to revolutionize the world and democratize everything.

This played out at my last place. My boss would assign my co-worker to build the world's crappiest car in the least amount of time and when it broke down I would be the only one that seemed to be able to fix it (while my co-worker was busy building some other crappy car). I would have built a much better car in the first place! However I would have taken more time and the goal was to build and release as fast a possible. My boss was okay with the risk of said crappy car, my co-worker got promoted and I slowly burned out.

It's a tough balancing to make sure you sell yourself correctly and fight to work on things you want to!
I've been Type 1 for 20+ years and have measurable remissions based on blood tests. Low level functioning of pancreas again.

The thing that moved the needle for me was fasting + ultra running (which from my understanding implements a fasting-like response by the body in some ways).

Interesting that not eating for a while correlated with what seems like increased pancreatic activity...

Synchronization primitives in Go are just as divorced as elsewhere, sometimes even more so - it does have channels, but Goroutines cannot yield a value, forcing you to employ a separate storage location together with WaitGroup/Mutex/RWMutex (which, unlike Rust's RWLock, is separate too, although C# lets you model it to an extent). This results in community developing libraries like https://github.com/sourcegraph/conc which attempt to replicate Rust's Futures / C#'s Tasks.

I've kept a journal of some sort for the past 10 years. Sometimes they're mostly used for capturing work tasks and working out architectures and designs, but occasionally I'll brain dump a random essay/poem/song/business ideas there, and those can be fun to come back to. I just moved into a new place unpacked them, so I've been paying through them as I get a chance. It's fun to see all the ways that I've changed, but it's actually more interesting to see some of the ways I haven't changed at all. I enjoy the act of writing because it makes me feel like my sense of self is less ethereal. Having something concrete that I made and like, even if it's just for me, is just satisfying.

> "woke" [...] is about being aware of the past 500 years of global history, systematic systems of oppression, racism, discrimination, religious wars, a reasonable understanding of the root causes of the major wars of the past 100 years and their aftermath, various genocides, pogroms, assassinations, coup d'etat, economic disparities between wealthy nations and developing nations, global patterns of push and pull factors for immigration, the role that major international organizations like the UN, NATO, EU play in global politics, culturally specific implementations and practices of non-binary and non-heterosexual gender norms in cultures very alien to western european cultural backgrounds, I could go on for quite some time.

If evil is only an opinion of mind, who is to say? Russians call Ukrainians evil; Ukrainians call Russia evil; both kill the other. In your opinion, it was evil; but if you were forced between accepting a genocide against yourself on one hand, or fleeing and causing a genocide to survive, you may have different opinions.
I commented on your other thread - but you should really clean up your information diet. From the vocabulary you use and the tone of your game and pitch deck, I can tell you’re someone that hangs on the words of tech industry ‘thought leaders’. You need to realize that most of the people in tech who have time to podcast, write substacks, or otherwise build a ‘personal brand’, aren’t actually making shit. They’re trying to inflate their profile so they can trade reputation for career advancement in any number of ways. It’s also not worth listening to most VCs. Most of them don’t have the time or technical ability to understand the areas they’re investing in and just chase trends. If they had the time and technical abilities, they’d be building companies instead of getting other people to do it for them. You’d be surprised to hear how many investors or personalities that are supposedly high profile are openly derided among actual founders.

The way to make something that’s fun is to try to make something that’s fun over and over again until you’ve got it down. It’s not by obsessively reading what investors or people who are essentially glorified influencers say.
You make a good argument on why to use a plain text calendar, but not why you shouldn't use the `calendar(3)` format. I think this really speaks to the problem of discoverability that standard Unix tools have. A lot of problems have already been solved by those tools that are included on every BSD, every Mac OS computer, and most Linux distributions, but nobody knows about them, and there isn't really a good way to see what already exists. Sure, you could browse `/usr/bin` to see what's available, and I guess that's the Unix Way, but it's unwieldy.

It would be cool if there were a crash course on this stuff, but even that wouldn't work well, because the first time you use a unixy system, it would be too much information to retain, and subsequent times you're likely to just gloss over all this stuff.

Perhaps the only real solution is asking about what you want to do on messages boards, and hoping some weird old curmudgeon who is familiar with the small program you want to use sees your question.
I appreciate the effort you've put in above, but I think you're defining both gene and genome from too narrowly. Both terms predate our understanding of the structural mechanisms of heredity.

A gene is a unit of heredity.

The genome is the sum total of all genetic information in an organism.

Both are extremely loose terms. Individual sub-fields of biology/biochemistry may use more specific variations in specific contexts, but the definitions above cover all of those meanings.

That’s why TDD (Test-Driven Development) has become a trend. I personally don’t like TDD’s philosophy of writing tests first, then the code (probably because I prefer to think of a solutions more linearly), but I do absolutely embrace the idea and practice of writing tests along side of the code, and having minimum coverage thresholds. If you build that into your pipeline from the very beginning, you can blame the “process” when there aren’t enough tests.
Since it was a debian, i have to ask - was a driver 10 years old already when you used it? I also had 1080 Ti (and a regular 1080), worked flawlessly in: Windows 10, FreeBSD, NixOS. I don't recall versions I ran tho.
Using any of these passages as a prooftext for a particular position about the effects of God's wrath and drawing a singular conclusion from them is indeed incorrect, but it does not mean that there is a real contradiction. For example take these two passages.

Proverbs 26:4 (ESV)
"Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself."
Proverbs 26:5 (ESV)
"Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes."

They are "contradictory" but yet right next to each other. It can rather be taken that these are both true in certain contexts and must be held in tension against one another and applied with wisdom.

There are multiple instances of this in the old and new testaments.

In practice, it's rarely an issue in C# because it offers excellent concurrent collections out of box, together with channels, tasks and other more specialized primitives. Worst case someone just writes a lock(thing) { ... } and calls it a day. Perhaps not great but not the end of the world either.

I did have to hand-roll something that partially replicates Rust's RWLock<T> recently, but the resulting semantics turned out to be decent, even if not providing the exact same level of assurance.
Utterly shameful. Do conservatives even remember when Russia was the enemy and Europe was our ally? Do you know what kind of leader Putin is? Is that what you want Trump to become? Do you no longer believe in NATO? What has become of the party of Reagan and Bush? Will you betray everything you used to claim you believed in?

Well, they do have enough money to pay that much overtime and the CEO is in such a good mood :)
Well, what we have now is manifestly not conservatism. I would argue it is Yarvinism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

"In his blog Unqualified Reservations, which he wrote from 2007 to 2014, and in his later newsletter Gray Mirror, which he started in 2020, he argues that American democracy is a failed experiment[5] that should be replaced by an accountable monarchy, similar to the governance structure of corporations.[6] In 2002, Yarvin began work on a personal software project that eventually became the Urbit networked computing platform. In 2013, he co-founded the company Tlon to oversee the Urbit project and helped lead it until 2019.[7]

Yarvin has been described as a "neo-reactionary", "neo-monarchist" and "neo-feudalist" who "sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system, and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy".[8][9][10][11] He has defended the institution of slavery, and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude than others.[12][13] He has claimed that whites have higher IQs than black people, but does not consider himself a white nationalist. He is a critic of US civil rights programs, and has called the civil rights movement a "black-rage industry".[14]

Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his "most important connection".[15] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work.[16] U.S. Vice President JD Vance "has cited Yarvin as an influence himself."[17][18][19] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump's second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin's ideas.[20] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was "an informal guest of honor" due to his "outsize influence over the Trumpian right."[21]"

"type checking" would seem to be somewhat field dependent. aka treesitter for physics isn't exactly a direct reference to math[2][4].

Historically, checks for good/appropriate type impressions/groupings were not the responsibility of the blacksmith[0][1].

Physics drives math development via physics need to have math/mathematical explanations that correspond to physics observations/phenomina.

Type checking isn't a math thing, it's a make sure not mixing up math equations describing one type
