We sacrifice our time with our children for future career earnings to maximize lifetime income. People in this discussion throw around terms like GDP growth due to increased labour market participation from working moms...
It's ok just to accept what's happening. its not like you don't know what you're doing. Life is full of unpleasant tradeoffs.
Die hard rust fans often minimize the very real developer difficulty incurred by their language of choice. Even major library maintainers in rust have criticisms of various language features because of their difficulty to use. These are real and substantiative concerns that would affect any development team not made of expert rustaceans. Just look at basic dynamic programming implementations in a normal language versus rust for say popular leap code questions and you'll see the difference in basic developer productivity.
People who are really interested in rust tend to be top-tier developers. I don't think they're consciously lying about their experiences working with the language but they may not hit the speed bumps that normal people would. My personal abilities make me competent in golang, ruby, python, java, c++. I love the quasi-functional styling of rust but whenever I've tried to build small projects in it I've gotten bogged down in fighting with the compiler in ways I never do in the former. It is fast as all get out tho!
Saving heirloom apples has zero biodiversity value, or near two it. All domestic apples are extremely inbred and from a one or two cultivars brought to Europe a few hundred years back. The reservoir of apple biodiversity , at least for sylvestris is in its native range where domestic apple cultivation is actively polluting the genome. I think that's like khazakhastan and western china.
In go, you either handle the error where it happens or close to it, or log it. No need to pass things up just to log. I like the simplicity, and the zero cost at runtime. If you could handle the error in another lang you could handle it in go, or youd just supress or log it anyway.
I am very partial to python, but i have hit a lot of bottle necks with it. I find GO to be a reasonable intermediate, balancing ease of use and flexibility with some speed trade offs. I should probbably learn rust but it seems like a lot for writing web apps, and I could never get my head around lifetimes
It really depends on the person. For me, I was already remote before covid. I realized commutes really impacted my performance on the job. When I did work from the office, there were nice snacks and parties and chances to socialize and I do miss that. However, I'm not young anymore and now my life is focused around my family. The benefits of being able to spend more time with my kids at home, and to live further from a big city are worth their weight in gold. If i miss out on a joke or two, or dont go out to thai food with co workers, oh well. I have a lot of friends and social engagements outside of work, the social side of the office isnt necessary.
Wikipedia is most young peoples go to source for knowledge. The way important entries frame a subject is considered to be a neutral observers take, but they're often anything but when it comes to politics, history and philosophy. Often these important entries are the personal fife of one or more admin who structured things according to personal preference.
An easy way to see this is to look at a topic that is split in the academy along geographical lines - the entry in wiki will often favour whatever region the original cabal sided with and give the other short thrift.
Meeting a wikipedia admin in real life is often eye opening and explains some of these choices.
The old encyclopedias were more transparent; siding with their own cultures scholars in a way that was generally more uniform. Wiki masquerades as the final objective authority but has the same old issues burried and obscured.
Even an undergrad intro course on a given historical subject will often come into violent conflict with a given entry.
The best entries are scientific topics, like botany or physics - and this impression of mine is probbaly based on ignorance.
Since Global petroleum supply and demand is inelastic even a small shortfall in Global Production will result in much higher prices
In the turmoil of regime change in Russia production would fall and probably not come back online again for decades
When the wall fell Russian production declined and has never reached its 1980s Peak because of the geography of Russia. In fact I think most of the wells that were turned off at that time have never come back online and recent production increases are due to new infrastructure being built
I agree in general, but i also think hoping in early career helps people get good experience. If you're over thirty, I don't understand it but in your early 20s you honestly need to to get a good role.
