My perspective is that I don't know whether or not crypto will take off. I am guessing people who are even a little more skeptical get tired of all the pumping. Also, dramatic phrases like your "If most of HN readers call crypto a

The prospect of being a senior dev and 40 is terrifying to me. The only ones who are treated with any respect are the "real" wizards - i.e. the guys who spent every spare second if their life breathing tech. The guy who decompiles

I am interested in how you learned to program given that you are saying you have no degree. It seems most Russian immigrants either come from the 80s phd era or have wealthy patterns and go to a foreign school. So, you learned on your own?

Abrams lit up Iraqi T-72s recently. Absolute air superiority isn't a thing in a real war, even for the US. ATGMs will lose their deterrence factor if APS systems end up working as advertised, so tanks will regain their relevance. Also,

Why wouldn't you want an Abrams? It does all the things. Sure, it's pigfat, but it's a proven design and it's not hard to stick an APS on it. Honestly, the Abrams is kind of like the A-10 and the F-22, even if you are tr

This is true. The USSR, at one point, had (by far) the best education system in the world. Now it's nowhere near being in the top 5.

So, this usually gets negged, but I am very curious about the salaries which people are walking away from and whether they can match them elsewhere.

I am not a fan of "basic action novels", because at that point you can go play GTA or play paintball, and you would get way more entertainment out of it. I guess I am arrogant in the sense that I like reading books that at least h

That was a long paragraph, but I agree with the general premise that a lot of books are tripe worse than TV shows and video games, so we shouldn't put them on a pedestal.

I still don't understand them past "no PK/FK integrity" and duplicating data + problems with complicated queries.

Oh hey, I had the same issue. Except micro-services eventually lost. Having class libraries in NuGet did work well for us (we are open source). Next trend to die soon: TDD / "Unit tests" that mock half the app

“spooky action at a distance” It seems that everything I read states that this isn't actually a thing: No information can be transferred, nothing is changed at a distance. Is that wrong? This is so confusing. This is the speed of what

"the ability to pick a degree at _all_ is a privilege not automatically afforded to everybody." I completely agree that this is a huge issue. A large problem for kids from "bad" families is not having any idea what they

That's realistic income at 45 with a 4-year degree in some engineering discipline. You can save a mil at that income in 15-20 years.

It's common sense. I did say barring accidents and having an actual life. The below is conservative. 1. Pick practical degree, because you are poor and anything else is luxury. 2. Work in college, because you are poor. End up with 30k

Very much this - average genes, hard work, and sacrifice can generally guarantee upper middle class (barring accidents). Basically, all you need to get there is being a good cog in the machine. That is to say - you come in groomed, you do y

I have a ton to say on this, but here is the tl;dr: 1. Read my other posts in this thread - does it look like I came here looking for a flamewar? 2. Calling Pakistan a "shitty country" is not a nationalistic slur, it's a refl

The fact that you are calling him "Mr" Peterson says a lot of depressing things about you.
