I get permissive time off and I take off regularly about 1month/year in vacation minimum. It's really about who you work for. Work can be really flexible, I was able to negotiate 4-10s and take Fridays off as well.

My [Sciter](https://sciter.com) as such a previous work, no? As a UI part of [these applications](https://sciter.com/#customers) its code works on 450mln PCs worldwide. If you have Windows or Mac PC then it is a good chance that it has Sciter code running already there in one form or another.

This sounds counter-intuitive. It seems to me that it makes more sense to say the cost of moving in these places is high because programmers are paus a lot, not the other way around. Do nurses, fast food workers, and valets also make as much money in these tech cities or do they not have higher costs of living?

If you have to pay salaries that are basically twice as much as other developed countries/cities, why absorb that cost? You can get employees who are just as skilled and capable in nearly any other city in the world without the expense. Many of these companies gain absolutely nothing by being in the same city as some of the things that make these cities expensive.

I’m a Go skeptic but it does have a bunch of nice features: 1. Channels / Goroutines - really nice way of handling concurrency IMO. Simple to wrap your head around while still being very powerful. This is probably the reason why Go’s error handling works the way it does - errors as return types make a lot of sense when thinking in terms of channels. 2. A type system that doesn’t get in the way. Personally I disagree with this (a type system that’s not in the way is sort of like a guardrail that’s not in the way - pretty useless) but I can see how this has a lot of appeal for people coming from dynamic languages. 3. Great distribution story. From what I’ve seen it’s really easy to package a Go project and have it run on all kinds of platforms.

More context: > Interface-based programming, also known as interface-based architecture, is an architectural pattern for implementing modular programming at the component level in an object-oriented programming language which does not have a module system. - Wikipedia Keep in mind this is very different from Component design https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component-based_software_engineering which is the higher abstraction to which Interface-based programming is one concrete kind of component framework. As far as I know, Component design is still the gold standard for software design. Though I'd be interested to hear of alternatives?

Unless you're Netflix, junior developers have to touch your codebase at some point. In junior-heavy organizations (like Google) it makes total sense that you'd want to have them work in a language like Go, versus a language like PHP, Python or Ruby where it's incredibly easy to shoot yourself in the foot (or face).

Full text search. Technically you can write XPath queries or the JSON equivalent, both are in ANSI SQL, but if the data really is unstructured and non-relational then you wouldn't have a consistent XML or JSON format to query. Something people often confuse is non-relational with denormalized. HTML is non-relational. JSON documents holding order/order lines is just denormalized.

I recently used Sciter to write a tiny excel for a friend to stay on desktop like rainmeter would, IMO the main problem is that it lacks of community resources like docs, tutorials, libraries... and TIScript gives a feel of being buggy because I expect a JS behavior. Other than that I like it, it's fast, lightweight, cross-platform and has some useful things like `width: *; height: *;`, I can see Sciter + Node as an improvement because of the mentioned issues.

>Costs of living, such as rent and healthcare, are also the highest in the world. Incorrect, CoL in most major American cities is just as high as in major European cities, with few exceptions (NYC/SF). This can be easily googled. Your anecdote of $800/mo total is obviously not reality if sources like numbeo and expatistan show otherwise. For example, the sources indicate that a 900 sqft apartment in Rome costs $1500, far more than your LA number. Anecdotes don't matter. You're simply trying to convince yourself that your petty salary is what you're worth when in reality you would be getting way more if you didn't live in a place that tried to plan your economy. Planned economies are good when you're not dealing with change. Obviously software engineering (among other things) is constantly changing, thus Europeans get screwed.

I like languages that are easy to get into, but I dislike when they seem to 'top out' too soon without letting you use any advanced features like tagged unions or templates. For instance: * Python - Easy to get into, tons of libraries, but without static typing by default it feels like I am writing a 1,000-line bash script whenever I work on long Python programs. I also heard they have bizarre restrictions on lambdas? Not sure why. * Lua - Same issue but without the libraries. I almost have the docs memorized, but there's a lot it just can't do in any comfortable way. * Rust - Easier to get into than C++, but that's faint praise. Tops out very high, in theory. I feel like I have been learning it for years and don't quite 'get' it. * C++ - Difficult to get into, poorly taught in school, tops out somewhere between Go and Rust. They're adding Rust-like features, but since it's still compatible with C, it's a minefield. * C - Difficult to get into, more difficult than C++ since it's missing decades of syntactic sugar and STL, and tops out way too low. The ABI is useful since it's the only one every other language implements. * C# - Easier to start than Rust, C, or C++, tops out somewhere between Go and Rust since it has generics but tagged enums and non-null types don't work well. I have dabbled with Go, but I haven't made a real effort to commit to it. I see it as easier to pick up than C, but purposely topping out at a pretty low level. I think there is a big difference between "Let's protect novices from the machine" and "Let's prevent novices from learning anything useful". Garbage collection, RAII, non-nulls, are the former, and they can be useful to experts too. What people hate about Go is the latter. Generics take time to learn but they are not pointless boilerplate. They make programs shorter when used properly.

How on top of the latest web standards in CSS are you in your CSS module? One of the really nice things about Electron is that not only are you developing for a common platform target, but it's the most popular target and supports all the latest things. It's also hard to take your benchmark seriously when you're comparing an actual full application built with Electron to a SDK code sample.

Yeah I mean I think it depends on what you're being asked to do. Like I think it's a good idea for everyone to know a bit about good db design, efficient algorithms, pros and cons of design patterns in the front end, etc, etc, but to hopefully devote most of their time to mastering one layer of the stack. In that way we know the questions to ask when we need to ask them, and can work better on a team with someone who specializes in another area, but are focusing our efforts in making one layer as good as possible. For my part I specialize in one area of the stack, and am working on being a bit better with other areas for my side projects. It's tempting for me to say that a "real programmer is primarily concerned with xyz" but in reality it's impossible to be good at everything, and typically many people are needed to write good software. It annoys me that a lot of hiring processes are so biased. If you interview with a primarily middle tier team, you're going to get primarily middle tier questions, front end, front end questions etc. It doesn't matter the position you're applying for haha. I think it's a combination of people assuming that if you're good/smart, you'll think like them and focus on what they focus on, even if if isn't relevant to the work you'll be doing.

Most sequences allow for bulk increments, meaning clients can reserve thousands or more ids in in shot. This offers good performance with the cost that your primary keys are no longer strict time ordered sequential and possibly fragmented

I assure you that people ALWAYS over estimate the amount they will save when their salary goes up. I've seen it with engineers working on my team(s) many times. More often than not their spending habits and quality of living also changes with it - and not all of a sudden, but slowly. And that's not a bad thing, what's the point of being super frugal for 15-20 years so you can be slightly less frugal for the next 15 or so? Edit: and unless you are talking about the whole compensation package, even the big tech companies won't hand out 250k like candy for any mid to senior level engineer. Even with all benefits it's not usually going to be that high. Remember that stock options etc. are not cash in hand and can't be invested. If the stock value flip flops and flat out drops, you are actually getting screwed instead.

I mean, I'm pretty sure you can get take a person from zero to JavaScript recording userform inputs into a database in much less time than having them understand normality. The whole reason ETL is an industry is because people are bad at data warehousing, not because they don't save data (although sometimes most of the data they save is junk).

I don't see how Rust is a pure C replacement. They seem **totally** different to me. Rust attempts to do so much for you whereas C just lets you do whatever. Rust is huge, slow (to compile) and difficult to learn. C is tiny, fast and simple. It does let you shoot yourself in the foot, but most of those ways are language flaws which are fixable today. Most of Rust's language features *aren't* those fixes, they are additional abstractions and language features. Jonathan Blow's Jai is a lot closer to C than Rust is in terms of language direction, but god knows if he'll ever finish it. D has BetterC mode but they somehow screwed up their adoption and now that ship has thoroughly sailed.

More specifically, Social Security will not keep pace with people’s salaries and general cost of living. It used to be that Social Security would replace roughly 80% of income, enough for retirees to mostly keep their standard of living. Now, replacing >= 80% of income requires individual investment by the employee, in the US. I’m curious if Europe will see a similar situation in the next generation or two. With a declining population and longer life expectancy, the burden on current employees to pay for retirees grows. And taxes can only go up so much. I wouldn’t be surprised if European workers end up having to contribute to their own retirements at some point.

Yea, European developers are going to unionize and raise their wages. I don't see software "deflating". The problems are getting larger, the systems more complex, the impact more significant. Not many people can work on computer vision / navigation / autonomy projects but those kind of radical software endeavors are going to see the industry eat an even larger chunk of the economic pie going forward, not less. US companies have tried *a lot* to export their developers overseas and have always ended up paying for it and coming back stateside.

This is where people get it so wrong. You have to know what is going on, and you don't have full control, you only have clues about what is going on, and you can only make suggestions to the system, making it more difficult to manage than say C++. But there are people there convinced that C# cannot have memory leaks.

> not until the assistant has a hit rate of 90% or more will we start trusting it enough When I drive a car, I don't expect the machine to follow instructions only 90% of the time, you know? I think we need explicitly different commands/interfaces for "execute this sequence now" and for "what do you have that's like <this>?" The first is a command, the second is more like a search or a request for a menu of options. Two areas where attempts at simplification have had notable negative consequences, in the longer term, come to mind: 1. Hiding email headers. The majority of email-sender obfuscation today is a result of hiding SMTP headers, and hiding the email address except for the declared "Display Name". LAN-mail package vendors wanted to make SMTP just another gateway and hide those complicated headers that they thought the user should never care about. 2. Interfaces where users are expected to "execute" data and programs the same way, often by clicking on them. There's now an industry in making executables appear in a UI like data files, inducing users to click on them and execute a trojan horse payload.

Buy house for $200k Pay $60k of the principal down over 10 years. Sell House for: $140k Profit: Zero. (Outstanding mortgage is $140k, less sale price of $140k) In other words, to get to the point of this being a loss, you'd have to be paying a low amount towards principal, AND sell the house for 30% LESS than you paid for it. Pretty atypical and unfortunate scenario. Much MUCH more likely is you are able to pay down more on the principal, and are able to sell the house for as much, and hopefully more, than you originally paid. Anyways, I think you must be overthinking things or something. Bottom line is: Renting, EVERYTHING paid is gone. You never get any back. Purchasing: You're paying down principal, and can recoup the outstanding cost by selling the house.

Nah, not really. Google hated Python's guts. That doesn't mean they didn't use it, but they hated to use it. Their rationale for using Python was the typical "killer features": popularity, being relatively easy to debug, omnipresence. I interviewed for SRE position in Google few years ago. During and after the interview I talked to a bunch of employees of various tiers (in Google employees are assigned to tiers, by how important they are to the company). At the time I had about 2 years experience of working with Go, but it was rather intense, and I had about 15 years of working with Python, but it wasn't very deep. I really hated Go for the slowness of deployment process, lack of proper debugging... I was very surprised when every programmer I talked to in Google were overcome with joy when they'd heard that they will be transitioning from Python to Go. I give it, there's a novelty component to it, but there's also a kind of general profile of Google's pet programmer, which also showed there: if Google liked you as a programmer, then you are the kind of programmer who wants to write everything in C++ and worships this language beyond any reason. Secretly, when your position makes the use of C++ questionable, you hide your deeply entrenched hatred of other languages, but still lone for the day, when you can do it like in C++. Go, for Google's Python programmers was that kind of improvement over Python that would make it more C++-like.

[TIScript](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/33662/TIScript-Language-A-Gentle-Extension-of-JavaScript) was created 10 years ago as JavaScript++ - it had `class` and `namespace` constructs from the very beginning. JS was too basic at that time. Modern ES6/ES7 came close to features of TIScript so I was considering of replacing/adding modern JS engine in Sciter. This path is feasible and I am considering it too. Another path I've explained above - to extend existing NodeJs by HTML/CSS UI module to get something like node.ui.js environment - Node with integrated UI layer rather than to have two separate entities (browser/server) packaged in Electron way.

IDK, in Australia we've essentially replaced pensions with Superannuation (which is essentially a 401k as far as I know) and it's been working pretty well. Probably not the same though, as it's not really an optional thing (employers are required to put 9.5% of your wage into you super fund) and it's quite tightly regulated in terms of how and when you can use it (you can't even access until you're 60).

It isn't *that* hard, is it? just click in the link above and watch, try to leave your utter stupidity (the one you use and need when writing java code) aside for a second and *watch*. Then come back and try to tell me that modern languages and platforms *don't* make java look like a pathetic abortion of a dinosaur useless crap, please.

Yep, I completely agree with you. There's so much information out there that's it's almost as big of a problems as not having enough information like in the past. New programmers would benefit greatly from a human approach to all of it that demystifies how little is actually needed to make something useful.

Ok I got the selling part now. You still haven't considered that if I have a downpayment to qualify for a mortgage, I might as well invest the money and profit more then I'd lose by renting. The choice is actually renting and investing the downpayment vs using downpayment to enter a mortgage. Maybe for the average person, especially with a well paid job it's an obvious choice. But there is an opportunity cost involved nevertheless.

IDK about other places, but most recruiters I've spoken to in Australia will place you for daily/short term contract work if you're open to it.

It's the licensing. I'm not telling you to change your business model, if it works for you that's great. But for me a proprietary license is a non-starter. My primary use case for Electron is for kiosks or other special cases where we can spec hardware and it'll be the only application running. Memory is not an issue and with capable web devs performance is indistingushable from native at a fraction of the dev time. Part of me wishes it used less RAM but realistically it's not something I can find a reason to worry about when it runs fine on just about any PC hardware we can find these days. Additionally, features like WebGL, WebAudio, WebSocket, fullscreen, camera video, gamepad inputs, printing and print-to-PDF have all been essential features for various projects. Even obscure window tweaks like ignoring mouse events on blur - who would've thought I'd need this? But I did, and Electron made it easy. I don't know how well Sciter covers those. Anyway, just one person's thoughts when evaluating tech.

While enforcing controls on bug requests produces better results, it can also feel intimidating and deter people from reporting bugs when they find them because either A) they don't understand the form, or B) they don't have time to go through the ringer of getting all of the relevant info, and just want to tell someone. ​ The problem isn't just an input sanitization problem - it's a source and receiver problem.

That's not accurate, Rust will absolutely let you grab the value or die. That's not forcing you to handle the error, it's simply forcing you to acknowledge that you're not handling the error. Which is surely a good thing, but does not conform to the original statement.

I would like someone to create a souped up version of ad block such that *no* ads of any kind are displayed anymore. E.g. the videos that you sometimes "have" to watch between content could simply be replaced with a black square and ideally one could just subscribe to a bunch of content and have all of that be cached locally. That is, long term, I don't believe that advertisements are a sustainable business model. It just kind of surprises me that nobody has gone all the way. Detecting what is an ad and what is not is *not* a difficult problem. It might cost 20 million dollar/year to make it work (there are a lot of ads to analyze), but it seems worth that.

Say $20k down payment. So scenario 1, you pay out $120k over 10 years in rent. Gone. But have $20k to invest. IF you invest that and get 10% for ten years straight you'll have grown that to ~$52k. Certainly not guaranteed. Or buy the $200k house, 20k down, 120k paid over 10 years, 60k of that is principal. Sell that house at $200k (no growth, more likely you'd see SOME growth but we'll stick with this) You now walk away with $80k. $52 k renting and investing vs $80k. And I'm leaning very conservatively in your favour here.

It has the same bearing on Go that it has on literally every other programming environment in the world. It's like the old adage, if everything is X, then X ceases to have any meaning. it's a fundamental software problem that exhibits itself everywhere, and as such is not worth any more thought with respect to Go than any other language. It was something you reached for because you felt like it agreed with your view on things without fully thinking it through.

Good points. I think that's really what I'm getting at. Right now, we're all operators -- we string together primitive but precise actions to achieve goals only known to us, and all the UI can do is not be bad. No assistant can compete with that unless we get used to stating our *goals*, presumably still within some sort of contextual framework that's clear to both the user and the UI. Your point seems to be that simpler UI:s usually come with an increase in implicit trust, with potentially disastrous results. That's very valid -- we're still operators. Putting a "play music" sticker on top of the eject button in a fighter jet, no matter how well-trained the pilots may be, would be considered sabotage. What I think we can both agree on, though, is that if the jet was smart enough to know your goal, she wouldn't eject you unless it made sense. Again, the vision is clear, the road there is not.

> Unionization is for the lowest common denominator of society that's easily replaceable, it doesn't do anything for in-demand skilled people. I would argue that the AMA and ABA are effectively unions under a more respected name. Same with the exam-based meritocracies that actuaries have. It's professional structure that's outside the control of employers (and that employers often dislike for that reason). > Other countries artificially limit how much their engineers can make with all the terrible regulations. Citation please. Sounds like bullshit. I'd be the last to say that these countries are utopian– the EU has its own problems– but there's no regulation that says companies can't pay programmers better. > But if you choose not to live a life of servitude, nothing is stopping you from starting your own software company and changing everything you complained about, this industry doesn't even require a lot of capital to start.

So I agree on 1 & 3. Much strongly on 3. Yes, cross compilation support for Go is awesome, no question about that. I really hope other languages too can learn from this. Really makes making CLI easy. On concurrency, while it is easy, it is really easy to pass a pointer into a goroutine and make it nil and get a NullPointerException. I think we were trying for so long we were trying to get away from these stupid NullPointerException that's why we had all these decisions about Immutability by default, Linear Types, Borrowing in Rust, etc. All down the drain in Go. So yeah the Type System really needs a overhaul. The only way I see is if Generics are implemented correctly in Go2. And Go2 is NOT backwards compatible with Go1.
