False | Drisku11 | t2_bg6v5 | It's an abuse of notation/language which generally makes sense given that there's usually an "obvious" choice of functor, and the monad structure is uniquely determined by the functor. That sort of notational abuse comes up all the time in math (the group `G`, the ring `R`, the space `X`, etc.).
In particular, `Maybe` is the free pointed set, and `List` is the free monoid, so it's natural to associate them to those functors. I don't know whether `Either` has a natural interpretation as a free thing, but parametricity means that there's only one non-trivial functor to pick (and only one "choice" at all if you're also parametric over `E`).
That said, it really grinds my gears when people say that the *values* of a type are monads, since as you say, it's really the (type, instance) pair, so the abuse should really be kept to saying the *type* (or *kind*, I suppose) is a monad (with an implicit instance lurking around). | null | 0 | 1546188577 | 1546189459 | 0 | ecvqqa3 | t3_aai5ap | null | null | t1_ecuz9ve | /r/programming/comments/aai5ap/what_is_a_monad_computerphile/ecvqqa3/ | 1548271250 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | NAIDBTPROG | t2_2ucjxhbv | That's why I've gone independent. I dealt with enough BS from small startups that did nothing more than go in like a lion and the end of the year slinked away into obscurity. The problem with tech companies these days is that they want to be like Apple during the early years or Redhat upon they're released. But the realization is that these days a company will never accomplish those goals. They'll either write apps for mobile devices that will never break what they paid into it and crumble and vanish. The tech industry is a joke if you can start your own small venture with something you truly are passionate about I say do it. Even if it's destined to fail, you would've accomplished more than 75% of the current tech workforce.
The moment I left, I ventured out into the wilderness, I don't answer to no one. I don't respond to anyone except for texts and emails. I'm working on my passion project and I feel great. The feeling of coding for yourself and no one else is amazing.

False | lodc | t2_3lscr | The aging/fading hack is really simple. Instead of using a 1 or 0 for each cell to mean alive or dead, use a bigger number to mean alive, say 255. Now each time you calculate a generation, alive cells get 255 instead of 1, and checking for alive neighbors mean checking for 255 instead of 1.. no big deal. Next change is a dead cell gets -1 to it's current value instead of being set to 0. That's really it for the changes to the math.
Now your cell matrix has values ranging from 255 for alive to 0 for "dead since at least 255 generations ago".

IMHO there's another issue here (other than age discrimination). The issue is the unquestioned assumption that the main reason I would be or anyone would be in tech is to get rich. Not because the work is interesting and the computer stuff is fun, nor to create technology that changes or improves the world in some way, but because the money is good.
Silicon Valley has become more about the business than about the technology. So much so that if you are more interested in actual technology than business plans and profit, many people almost don't even know how to react to you.
Don't get me wrong. I realize for-profit businesses are about money, and working for one makes enabling profit part of my responsibility. I'm not against capitalism or anything. And I'm not exactly shocked that it is this way, because there's so much money floating around that it's basically inevitable that money-oriented people would be attracted.
But joining a startup and finagling things so I hit it big is an explicit non-goal for me. I'm not an entrepreneur or a business guy. Having as much money as possible is not a goal, and I'm not going to orient my whole life around that. Tech pays well, easily enough for my needs, so it is a perfectly viable and reasonable strategy to work on things I enjoy and earn a really comfortable salary. I manage my money responsibly, so it's not like I don't have a financial plan for retirement and such.
That's my decision, it's a reasonable one, and if someone can't or won't understand that, then that's their problem. And frankly I may even question their ability to set aside their preconceptions and think about the world from different angles. I might even wonder whether, if I worked with this person, they'd be capable of unconventional or original thinking or being able to accept or try to understand new ideas.
Of course, it's also possible they do understand it on some level, but it's just one-upmanship. If that's a competition they need to start and define themselves as having won, then go ahead.

False | picnorez | t2_rjb7ius | I'm in exactly this position (turning 30 soon, always worked for startups) so I can explain a little.
Startups are different. Your role is more important and the workplace is culturally a little more loose (HR departments are rare, parties can get crazy, and you get lots of free perks like espresso machines paid for by investors). The tradeoff is that you might work late into the night a lot more often. It's a pretty exciting mad dash to prove yourselves as a team and build something that takes off.
In a comfortable corporate environment, I've found that there are more rules and less ambition. It's entirely possible to make a living doing barely any work just by showing up, looking busy, and completing the bare minimum.
I'm working for a company that was acquired (mission accomplished) and we've seen the culture transform from a startup to a comfortable subsidiary. The excitement and ambition has tanked, so people are leaving to join new startups and try to get them acquired too.

False | wholeandswole | t2_1pbhhbci | When writing to a file you can chose to open it as a text file or binary file.
Writing the number "64" to a text file will save the two numbers as the ascii characters "64" which would be "00110110 00110100" in binary. This way it is human readable when opening with a text editor.
However writing to it as a binary file will save the bits "00000000 00000000 00000000 01000000" instead which is the binary representation of the unsigned integer "64".

False | goodDayM | t2_91klu | > No. The managers and product people aren't "trying to build things". They're trying to climb the ladder.
That’s a broad generalization to make. Everyone has different goals and motivations. Many people go to work to earn money for their family, or to go on vacations, or support an aging parent, or sure, to get a promotion.
Also, not everyone has such antagonistic relationships with coworkers. Do you have lunch with coworkers? Or a Friday happy hour? I do, and that often includes managers. They are people too, with nice kids. They often have hobbies and goals outside of work.
The only game here is the one you’ve constructed in your mind. You chose the point system. Nobody else even knows they’re playing your game, or what their score is.

False | Calavar | t2_gm1q8 | This is about 6 to 7 years ago now, but when I was interviewing for entry-level developer jobs in the northeast, they were mostly offering in the range of $80 to $90k. In the Valley, they were offering about $100k to $110k. Rent was WAY cheaper around the northeast jobs. About $900 a month for a studio in New Jersey not too far outside of NYC.
None of the northeast jobs I interviewed at were remote jobs; they were all in-office positions for companies based in the northeast. That includes things like military/defense companies (especially around the Maryland/DC area), financial companies (around NYC), and healthcare technology companies (mostly Boston). So no, you won't have that sexy job at Facebook or Google but I never understood why so many people so to work at those specific places so badly anyway.
I also agree with others about never having to work more than 40 hours a week. Even as an entry level dev, it was pretty rare that I would break 50 hours unless I wanted too. This depends on the culture of the specific company obviously, but I think there are way more companies like that outside of the Valley than there are inside the Valley. | null | 0 | 1546191727 | 1546193972 | 0 | ecvuka9 | t3_aav9js | null | null | t1_ecvtnjn | /r/programming/comments/aav9js/how_the_valley_treats_its_experienced_people/ecvuka9/ | 1548273041 | 18 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

Also, haven't there been more in-depth articles about that coal miner coding school where it turned out that only a couple of them end up being placed in a job, and many of those are actually working for the school?
I think any working dev knows that the startup wunderkind thing is just a trope. I don't really disagree with the conclusion of the article, that development will eventually become more and more of an everyman kind of job, but this article seems really poorly put together.

False | 13steinj | t2_i487l | The thing is the qualifier here is wrong. In two different perspectives, at that.
Firstly it's not Valley companies, it's "I want my dream" startup companies. Which are generally horrible in the first place, from business management to budget to budget calculation-- (one I know figured they could get away with paying $10/hr for a full-stack developer with min 5 years of experience) --to everything else.
Many will probably think that if you aren't young you aren't good. Either because your tactics are outdated or the tech to make the tech has changed significantly from when you started.
That's the second point.
These startups assume those qualities about you, and correlation helps them make that assumption, fortunately or not (and it's usually not).
But in any decent company if you're > 40 and those qualities *aren't* you, you should be fine.

False | Kalium | t2_3jday | > You know that if pensions go sideways, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation steps in? It will cover the entire pension for most workers.
So, every pension in the US is ultimately federally guaranteed? That's very interesting, thanks for sharing! It does make me at least a little more skeptical, though. I am not keen on the idea of picking up the tab for bullshit promises made because someone used a 7% discount rate and union members were convinced that $20 a paycheck is *totally* enough to pay for a lifetime pension - even though I'm sure that union leader got re-elected.
The PBGC has its own funding source, but it is of course ultimately backed by the federal government's funds. Before you say anything unkind about my motives, my objection is not in any way, shape, form, or manner that I object to making it possible for people who have worked hard their whole lives to be cared for in dotage. I object to making it easy to promise entirely unreasonable things, knowing someone else will pay for the consequences decades down the line. We have enough irresponsible governance already.
> There is absolutely nothing stopping politicians from taxing private retirement plans to shore up social security. Look around the world it's happened many times. A 401k doesn't shelter you from political changes anymore than a pension does.
You're absolutely, completely, **100% right**! A 401k does not shelter you from political changes. Further, you're right that taxes to shore up social security are always possible!
However, it may be worth considering that both points could stand to be more relevant to the point I was driving at: the political symbiosis that has developed between politicians and unions in many places. This has tended to encourage the poor running and administration of long-term finances, and using a 401k system *does* do a lot to free someone from those particular risks.
French rates of job satisfaction are very interesting! Thank you very much for sharing. It may be worth considering that this might, at times, be different from how many and in what age groups are in the cohort receiving the strong job protections mentioned previously. It's perhaps possible that job satisfaction may differ slightly from this.
Again, you're completely right. on all your points here. There just might be some room for subtlety on the question of the salience of your wise and correct points. | null | 0 | 1546192584 | 1546192827 | 0 | ecvvm65 | t3_aandti | null | null | t1_ecvjwh3 | /r/programming/comments/aandti/older_workers_pushed_out_of_work_or_forced_into/ecvvm65/ | 1548273510 | 2 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
