> found a job within three or four months I think this is unexpected for lots of young developers out there. Lots of devs have experienced nothing other than multiple offers within a few weeks of looking.

Its not something you can change easily but in general you need to be regularly interviewing and changing jobs. I stayed in the same company for 10 years, never interviewing anywhere and then I got laid off. Its nearly impossible to find wo

Yep I was going to say the same thing. I write small internal tools for corporates and my team in 2020 is a fraction of the productivity of my team in the 90s. Lots of tools, the complexity is nuts these days.

If we're talking about coyotes in the NE they were never native, they're new. Deer are a huge pest now, they're missing the wolves and foxes that kept them under control.

Does anyone know of numbers of who used to be locked up in asylums etc? It seems to have been more common and I have no clue about how often it happens now. Reagan closed the mental hospitals?

Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid - there aren't any good affordable capital cities any more. Maybe Berlin? It has the advantage its rebuilding after the cold war still.

I think its just a return to normal service after a spectacular period in the 90s and early 2000s. Back then everything was close to perfect, economy, music, politics UK became the best at everything. Now its kinda back to how it was in pos

The young people I work with now are the laziest I've ever seen. I think the job market has been so strong for so long they dont know what the real world is like. If/when we get a proper recession these people will all start worki

UUIDs are nearly half the mac address of the server + a timestamp. They are in no way random.

That was pretty cool. I worked for a project that used ActiveX controls on webpages, via a private site you could only access through a private dial in number. Worked great.

I think this is it, good people will sacrifice a lot to work very hard on rockets or cool cars. Selling ads on social media not so much.

I sent my children to regular public elementary school. They loved it, was a great environment. They are now confident, curious, smart & successful high schoolers with loads of friends. The local Montessoris around here are 20->30k a

> Damn, that part about being excited to learn and share knowledge with your peers only to be shouted down dredged up some memories. Most American schools are so regimented that any exploration of knowledge is actually sneered down. Actu

I think the move to FP cements my view that exception handling is more trouble than its worth. Golang is good too that it doesn't use exceptions except in the extreme. Java with checked exceptions was kinda fashionable for a while but

I'd have to see a source for all three of those claims to believe it.

Maybe the distrinction comes from the West where food charities help out with food for hunger, but they aren't in danger of starving to death like many 3rd world countries.

Australia is like the Saudi Arabia of mining. Such a big continent with very few people. Politically stable and smart enough to exploit itself and keep most of the profits. The lucky country indeed.

I really struggle with this too, my whole life really. I hate it. What I've found the only thing that works well is to have daily scrums with the small team where you say what you've achieved. The deadline makes me try to get some

CZ seems like a genius, but I'm sure he's panicking now, he doesn't benefit from killing the whole alt-coin world - which increasingly looks like happening.

Yeah a median of $110k isn't that amazing. Could just be because they're mostly in the NE. Also against "all schools" isn't really comparing good state schools which I'd like to see.

Yeah US has a weird system. The mortgages are packaged up and sold as a bond, so the investor who buys the bond has the interest rate and credit risk. If rates go up the value of these long term bonds go down. The bank or company that sold

> neither precious nor rare The fact that most people can name the most famous schools seems to imply they are rare. They are perceived as having better outcomes than regular state schools. Do they or dont they? If their grads do get bet

The other thing has changed is interest rates. Fundamentals @ 7% mortgages really aren't great either.

True, but balance that with people coming back to the office. I'd think AirBnBs in Tahoe are definitely in trouble!

> Is it fair to penalize my son for working hard and being an excellent student? No its not fair which is why its controversial. The real problem is that famous schools are too prestigious right now and there aren't enough of them.

by rr808 4y ago
No, they're obsessed with eyeballs and controversial stuff like this brings a lot of clicks.

> return to office That seems a bigger deal. TBH they should just enforce this and most people will quit anyway.

Yeah this is likely true. Its also some randomness if you end up on a good project & team or not.
