False | wakandawanda | t2_16v0ta0c | Because it’s hugely exaggerated. Not a single person in this front page thread has even posted an article that addresses ageism in the workplace in a scholarly manner.
Obviously ageism along with many other isms exist. But unlike other isms, age is not a class that is protected by labor laws unless we’re talking about child labor. And for a very good reason.
I think we should view this with some perspective. From a manager pov, you want to build a strong team. If you look at sports managers, many great teams will keep players up until their retirement age even if their physical performance is deteriorating. Experienced players can bring more to the team than just pure physical performance. But what is the point of keeping someone who can’t make it past being on the bench year after year? And from a team member perspective it’s clear why you wouldn’t want people on your team that’s sole purpose is to show up to sit on the bench and collect a paycheck.
I think people are more vocal about this in America because we have a very skewed view of what entitlements should be. Instead of accepting the fact that not everyone can be winners, we perpetuate the American lie. This idea that if you work hard, you can live a comfortable life. The fact is that we have a social and economic system where you can do honest hard work and still not be able to afford basic necessities. Hence why people tend to complain when they can’t hit their career expectations at a certain age. Blame it on ageism all you want but it’s more likely a performance issue. | null | 0 | 1546196331 | False | 0 | ecw0six | t3_aav9js | null | null | t1_ecvokzw | /r/programming/comments/aav9js/how_the_valley_treats_its_experienced_people/ecw0six/ | 1548275928 | -1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

It's not that "comfortable" for them. At some point, some new age-discrimination framework (e.g. Agile nonsense) will be rolled out, even though they worked productively without it. Or their doctor will tell them that 30 years of open-plan stress have fucked up their heart and they need to cool it. Then, they have no income and hope to die before they run out of money.

I'm a realist. Corporate capitalism creates organizations not worth caring about: piles of money that don't stand for anything but the desire to become a bigger pile of money. In such a world, it's hard to blame individuals for playing it as designed.

False | ElvishJerricco | t2_5a5e9 | The built in sort is O(n log(n))? It's just a merge sort and it performs fine. The problem is that linked lists are the built in list data structure. This is actually fine a lot of the time, and many algorithms benefit greatly from its ability to use constant space with laziness. But there are *many* alternative data structures that provide better performance characteristics for other use cases. The `vector` package provides constant time random access arrays, both mutable and immutable. `Data.Sequence` provides a purely functional data structure with O(log(n)) access, O(1) cons/snoc, and O(log(min(n1,n2))) concatenation, and is shipped with the compiler.
So TL;DR, you have to be aware that the builtin list syntax is for linked lists, but that's often ok, and when it's not there are plenty of other data structures to suit your needs.

This. This is absolutely how it works. Most of these companies are not innovative; the innovative stuff (if it is tried) ends up not working– because genuine innovation requires an open timeframe, not bullshit two-week deadlines– so they "pivot" to getting ready to be some bigger company's back office.

You really get a sense of someone's character when he doesn't need you.
In a bank, getting fired looks like this: when the business contracts, there's a layoff, and you get a few months of severance and a great reference. You bounce back quickly.
In a tech firm, layoffs are disguised as firings for performance, to avoid the press of a layoff. No severance, and there's a good chance your boss will trash you as soon as you're gone in order to test other's loyalty.
The techies think that, because they promised God to give half their wealth to Africa once they're billionaires (Africa has a Bitcoin address, right?), and because they are "changing the world", they can do anything. They're the absolute worst.
The bankers admit that they're working for money and treat it as somewhat of a game. Even if you get fired, your MD will make sure you land well. Techies? They're pretty much the worst people ever.

The problem is that in the past, the compilers/linkers (particularly the latter) weren't quite as good at ICF. There were dramatic improvements in that area in the latter part of the 2000s, but the public opinion damage was already done. Once you factor in LTO as well, templates can have *very* small footprints, often smaller than alternatives. The problem is that ICF and especially LTO do increase build times. However, in a debug build, size isn't usually a big concern (and debug builds, or development builds, are where you usually want very rapid build times), so ICF/LTO aren't *as* important. Some linkers let you specify the optimization level, so you can usually do 'light' ICF in a development build at least to improve it a bit. | null | 0 | 1546198117 | False | 0 | ecw3bt9 | t3_aac4hg | null | null | t1_ecvrta5 | /r/programming/comments/aac4hg/modern_c_lamentations/ecw3bt9/ | 1548277116 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | matthieum | t2_5ij2c | > Also note that the top companies do not care as much about losing a good candidate as they do about hiring a bad one. Losing a good candidate costs far less than hiring and potentially firing a bad one. Therefore they optimize for reducing the false positives rather than reducing the false negatives.
This.
It's "unfair", in a way, but companies are not aiming for fair, they're aiming for efficient.
---
And interviews are very costly. At my current company, each candidate will go through (1) a home assignment, reviewed by two persons (30min each minimum), (2) a phone interview with two persons (1h) and (3) a 3x1h interviews in a day, with two persons each, before a wrap-up with the hiring team leader, technology lead and HR which lasts another hour. That's a minimum of 11h from "interviewers", often 12h. A day and a half of work. Not counting the work done by HR, the recruiter fee, resume screening, etc...
To be fair to the candidate, steps (1) and (2) are indivisible and the wrap-up in step (3) is always done. Even if a candidate does badly, they also spent time on this, so at least we want to give them feedback on what the issues were that they have a better chance next time.
The process is designed to cut our losses early, though:
- If the resume doesn't look appealing, it's rejected outright.
- If the homework+phone interview doesn't pan out, no on-site interview.
And yet, despite this, a fair number of on-site interviewees don't get an offer.
If we imagine that 1/5 of phoned candidates come on-site, and 1/5 of on-site candidates are extended an offer, that's 28h (3+1/2 days) per on-site candidate, or 140h (17+1/2 days) per offer. I didn't count the cost of filtering resumes, or the transport/hotel cost. I would say upward of $10k per offer extended, plus recruiter fee.
So, yes, the process is designed to cut losses early, which means we're probably not giving a chance to good candidates because they don't fit our specific process. It's something we're aware of, but a secondary concern to the cost of extending an offer.

False | muc26 | t2_lgd0dum | I feel like it’s a fair question with fair assumptions. A lot of people are in tech for the money, those that have achieved their goal sum bail and those that haven’t still work towards it. As the question is posed, it gives a fair out to those genuinely interested in developing new tech. That is unless their head is up their ass and take it as an insult because “I’m not like others and people should magically know that and never ask questions about me, ever!”.
It’s not ageism if a manager wants to know what motivates the employee.
I’m going to preemptively put a disclaimer: I’m not saying older people in tech aren’t perceived differently than younger people. I’m saying that the way the manager posed the question is okay and the offence was perceived but not meant.

But who *owns* it? A fucking toaster isn't a legal person, therefore it can't own a business. At the end of the line, there's either a private company with an owner, a public corporation with a board and shareholders, or a government. I don't trust a government to feed me, and neither do the millions of people whose governments have deliberately failed to do so in *very* recent history, so it has to be one of the latter two. I don't care if you think your government is inherently moral and faultless, I'll never trust a faceless institution like that. Corporations can be trusted to do things that maximize profit - public corporations are even legally required to do so by their shareholders, whereas governments occasionally take on far more sinister objectives. | null | 0 | 1546199502 | False | 0 | ecw584a | t3_aandti | null | null | t1_ecvd6ir | /r/programming/comments/aandti/older_workers_pushed_out_of_work_or_forced_into/ecw584a/ | 1548278017 | 0 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

It is very odd at first, but you quickly begin to see the similarities it shares with imperative languages. For instance, I had used std::accumulate and stuff like that as well as iterators and the like before in C++, but I never knew exactly what it was that was happening deep down because I didn't understand what lambdas were very well. Learning about the power of folding and how you can write iter and filter functions with folding alone really changed how I think about processing data structures. Another thing I remember is gaining a better understanding of binary trees. I feel like creating an algebraic data type that does what a BST does was completely trivial, but being able to visualize a simple BST traversal was difficult at first because of how concise and simple the code for it was. It all makes sense, though. We covered modules, functors, higher order functions, pattern matching, and a lot of other stuff. Our final project was to build a lex/parse/evaluator for a language our program 'Calculon' understands. We had to construct something called a recursive descent parser, and it was pretty dang interesting! Oh yeah, pattern matching is pretty wonderful, and it's amazing how easily you can process a data structure once you learn how it works. One of the coolest concept I learned was definitely closures. When we were teaching 'Calculon' how to interpret closures, we first taught it how to handle lambdas, then we had to kind of manually construct a closure in a way that made the explanation on how closures are different on the stack than normal function stack frames. We finished up the semester with streams (stuff like infinite generation and utility) and lazy/eager evaluation.

I've no idea what happens in Perl but it probably does some weird-ass itoa-style conversion (rather than sending the integer's binary content in BE), trying to `write` a number in Python is a runtime error, C's `write` takes a buffer or an iovec, C++'s ostream::put writes a char, and despite the `int` overload even Java's FileOutputStream::write only writes a byte.
That I know, none of them will readily[0] accept an input of the number `64` and write the bytes `0x00 0x00 0x00 0x40`. At best, 2 of them will write the single byte `0x40`.
