I've been a Windows user since 3.0 came out. Windows the last 5 years has been annoying the ** out of me, even more than normal. I'll see what 12 looks like, but looks like I'll be Linux user in the future.
My kids go to a stem focused magnet school. I realize different cultures value different things but its depressing to me how many kids are pushed to dedicate their whole childhood to get into top Universities. We'd go to the beach and their friends couldn't come because they were doing extra APs or science fair or Math Olympics or similar. These kids got good grades but never went on a date, couldn't drive or go anywhere by themselves.
The biggest threat to American software engineers is outsourcing, AI is just a distraction. I am an immigrant, I work at a prestigious financial corporation in NYC. Pretty much 95% of the staff were born and did undergraduate degree in other countries. We hire a few grads but they usually quit or get laid off after a few years - most new hires are H1Bs or contractors on H1Bs. Just about to open another big office in a developing country.
I'm going through this now, a few years ago I heard that "research" with college professors was key - I ignored it because I thought it was performative and unlikely that any decent professor would want to waste their time. The kids that had their EDs accepted to Ivys at my daughter's school all did research with "professors" that were parents or friends of parents. It explains a lot of what I see of our graduates from "top" universities we hire from.
Today - if you give everyone $10 million dollars there isn't enough production for everyone to buy what they want - you just get inflation. Its probably worse for the economy as people stop working.
Still quite like the windows log approach which (if logged) stores the template as just the id, with the values, saving lots of storage as well eg 123, foo, bar. You can concatenate in the reader.
There might be a plan but more likely Chinese salaries have grown a lot in the last 20 years. 20 years ago US salaries were much higher - it makes sense to get a US degree and work here. Now you might as well go home again, it isn't better to be in the US any more.
Sorry, it was just a genuine question. No one in my extended family has had serious problems or issues with insurance companies and I genuinely dont care if my records or even dna are public. Probably would support it for research purposes.
Do Europeans care if their health data is secret or not? I feel in the US its a big deal that people dont want insurance companies to measure them and deny coverage to those who need it most, but in most of the world that isn't an issue.
The best I can do is rebuild the class, then when the function runs next time you get the new code. Is that what you mean? Quarkus is good like this too.
Its super frustrating there is no official guide. I hear lots of suggestions all the time and who knows if they help or not. The best one recently is tell the LLM to "act like a senior dev", surely that is expected by default? Crazy times.
Speaking of better in the old days, MSVC in the 90s had edit and continue, where you could stop in a debugger, change the source code and move the current breakpoint back and run it again. Even VBA had this 30 years ago, why cant I do in Python?
> told me it was even more incredible during the height of the dotcom boom
I was a developer in the 90s before Netscape even came out. I didn't have a computer at home and dialup barely existed. If you wanted to do computer stuff you had to read. If you wanted to try a library you had to buy a CD from a bookstore or mail in an order which would get posted to you.
I'm on Spark Scala 2 project and I hate it. Basically any good Scala dev would never want to work on our ETL projects, so we get second rate Python or Java devs like me who bastardize the language to get anything to work. Most of our new stuff is all pyspark, hopefully we can replace Scala asap.
