Yeah, give me a second, singularity exists.

Here to verify, there's a fair bit of software where the state of the art is in Rust. How it happened so quick is a little surprising, but here we are.

Quick to repair is also a lot more versatile. Unfortunately, I had to work in a lot of environments with proprietary, vendor-locked software and hardware. Usually all you can do is make sure you design the system so that you can chuck entire parts of it (possibly for rework, but sometimes not) if it breaks or gets compromised.

Definitely relevant for, say, SCADA controls with terrible security.

The answer is yes, now quit guessing so accurately

You don't think I'm qualified? Why? Because what I said made you feel bad for some reason? Well jackass, you're definitely not qualified, keep reading. Or maybe don't, because what people put in books must also be wrong because you're a special snowflake.

Sigh. There's another conversation I had on here that went similar to this one. Basically, a guy was saying, "the tough road I took to get to my position is what made me who I am" which is perhaps literally true but also trash. There is always a way you could have gotten to where you are today, or indeed even a better place, with less hardship. If you rubbed a lamp and a genie asked if you wanted to change anything about your past, saying "no I'm perfectly happy with who I am today" is a brazen lie and about the stupidest thing you could do. You have no regrets? You don't want to be a better person? The hell is wrong with you?

Likewise, why want hardship for your children just for the sake of hardship? They could learn without hardship just as well, though you may not be smart enough to figure out how.

The first step of consistency is determining and agreeing on what you want the computer to do. I don't see this happening, and it kind of removes the point of having multiple DEs, etc, for experimentation. Though perhaps after investigating in this direction, one might understand how users want to interact with the system key bindings, if at all, and be able to break down user interaction into digestible chunks.

Everyone has heard (or... most people) about a lot of the clever Apple shortcuts, but they are intensely not discoverable. People still need to go out of their way to learn them. It's just it's Apple, so no one cares.

If the work is repetitive I'm not sure you can say it was good experience. Your time would have been better spent learning or creating, I assume. No reason to want your children to work.

This is how it's supposed to work in the US.

You're right however what he is saying I suspect is more about the perception of leading as opposed to actually leading.

I don't think it's objective badness but more the perceived and probably real lack of social mobility.

> EDIT: oh, and heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the US, while heart surgery is one of the most difficult specialties to get in to. They are absolutely never short on patients, lol.

This is still relevant to his concern, but from the other end. They might be making the labor artificially scarce to increase pay.

That's unfair to the cat. I trained mine (possibly halfway by accident) to fake bite hands. They tend to run away if they don't know you still, but if it's someone they know they can tell them they don't want pets without moving.

He also missed #4. Cat bites you because it wants pets.

There are plenty of areas with too much red tape.

listen here you little shit

This is true only for some designs. It's possible you could have a power island that doesn't get discharged and also has no connection to any buttons when the board is nominally off, and that the things in that power island refuse to reset properly.

There's a whole area of electronics design related to this (unfortunately).

I've thought about this a fair bit and despite my initial conclusions I am no longer certain that the two alphabet styles are similar. It seems to me that ideagraphic systems have a tendency to evolve in a highly stratified society where it is useful to have knowledge of the symbols serve as ingroup signalling.

> but imagine you put your handwritten signature on every single step of your work

In most engineering or engineering adjacent fields you are doing this, btw. Yes, in software too.

Seems plausible base on my experiences outdoors, but it heavily depends on ambient conditions. Over such large distances I think the unlikely part is you do that trick twice, but even that is plausible merely by looking at seasonal changes.

The lack of homework, I think. It's not a natural thing to do. Apart from an explicitly pedagogical environment I have found the best thing to suggest people is to try to work their learning into a project. For math this can be hard unless you also have relevant engineering experience to make something with your math you are learning.

Well. The expenditure is a form of risk. Having a lot of cash outflow is something they want to prevent. So yes and no I think.

Nah. You can definitely blame them. As a vendor you should be able to put some kind of error bars on the potential savings. If they then refuse because they think your cut will be too high, move on and let them flounder. The major malfunction a lot of executives have is that they overestimate the value of not only their own labor and their company's position in the current market, but they underestimate how hard it will be to get a competent replacement.

I don't really know why. It's partially hubris. But I think it stems from not being able to separate the superficial understanding that happens when being told something from the true understanding of synthesizing that understanding yourself. Most executives seem to go through life thinking they are amazing just because they can understand what people are telling them and attribute it to themselves, when in reality they can make nothing of value.

It's not more cost-effective for the client if the work just never happens. Further, I don't care what is more cost effective to them. I want to capture some of that value. That's the mistake these businesses are making and what you need to inform them of.

Hm, I've actually thought about that a lot. I'd probably keep the bytestream format. It is insanely useful. However I might open up multiple streams. Stream one is basic IO. Stream two could be formatting info. Streams above that implementation dependent, but you could probably start defining them for keyboard/mouse/HID IO or audio and video. Then to make it work over the internet just shove it over SSH or TLS.

The one downside that has is if you separate the formatting from the data you can not recreate the session without keeping time info somehow. So, might need a fix for that.

The only other real alternative I'm aware of is moving the formatting into the API "stream" that communicates using the machine ABI. This is a terrible solution. It's what Windows uses.

Very recently. Totally fine with it, but I don't want to take a massive paycut for remote work. I haven't had to turn down offers for that reason but have heard people talking about it.

I wasn't hyper focused on FAANG. I did actually get a FAANG interview, didn't go anywhere. I mostly just don't get interviews.

1) Because recruiters don't understand the subject material. 2) Because companies are hilariously risk adverse.

I have over a decade experience in a consultancy environments (faster paced and more rigorous than a lot of other jobs, sorry not sorry). My work was independently driven and I provided input to the projects I was on at the highest levels. I've set IT and SWE policy for and introduced leading products at more than one company.

The CircleCI chart from yesterday was interesting. I was doing principal work under every column except maybe one. I've plenty of stuff to talk about to put any doubts to rest. But... no bites. In my case I suspect the issue is/was, as related to me years ago by some other HN poster, that I was in the Midwest and people are biased against Midwesterners for reasons more than just relocation costs.

Same experience as you. I did eventually find a place, but it was not with a very good employer. Since separated. I remember getting tons of flak in theses posts. My CV is actually very good. No degree is a much larger problem than most people want to admit.

I am well past junior dev stage. Still no bites.

Necessary but not sufficient is the phrase.

These and even much smaller providers are usually known to spammers. I've had poor luck with them.

These phone number blocks have usually been utilized by spammers in the past. A lot of them don't work.
