Every revolution increased the tendency of wealth-gap creation by diminishing the number of "essential" workers (e.g. farmers, miners, industry workers). The additional resources made available by allocation allow other jobs to be created, but a fraction of those resources are going to stay with the large enterprises.

To put it shorly, sure, living wages will probably be forever affordable to a large hypothetical company in a future where software/hardware is extremely advanced: tasks like art asset creation, customer support, advertisement, get increasingly cheaper, relatively. But it won't necessarily make sense to pay a large wage to workers on non-core activities (a few developers/designers/engineers/managers): income inequality and maybe unemployment should tend to rise.

I believe the US will soon be forced to adopt increasingly European-like well-being policies to amend this trend. Possible measures that come to mind are rising minimum wage , providing incentives to hiring, increasing taxes at the high income end, providing universal services (the health care reform comes to mind).
Stupid programming is a young man's game.

Stupid, business-driven programming involves Scrum tickets and story points and production support rotations and 15-hour days. It's quixotic, obedient, and culturally charismatic (to non-technical people who think greatness is produced by renegade geniuses in garages) but vapid.

So, a certain type of programming is a young man's game-- insofar as anyone else would stick out as not belonging in an arena defined by quixotry-- but that's a stupid type of programming that involves (a) total subordination to the business, (b) extremely long hours and high stress despite mathematically insignificant incentive compensation (e.g. 0.01% equity slices), and (c) not very interesting projects, rendered intellectually challenging only because of the obscene deadlines, limited resources, and political roadblocks that sometimes lead to invention by necessity (but, more often, create kludges and frustration).

Richard Wilbur has done exquisite translations, like this one...

Everness, Jorge Luis Borges

One thing does not exist: Oblivion.
God saves the metal and he saves the dross,
And his prophetic memory guards from loss
The moons to come, and those of evenings gone.
Everything is: the shadows in the glass
Which, in between the day’s two twilights, you
Have scattered by the thousands, or shall strew
Henceforward in the mirrors that you pass.
And everything is part of that diverse
Crystalline memory, the universe;
Whoever through its endless mazes wanders
Hears door on door click shut behind his stride,
And only from the sunset’s farther side
Shall view at last the Archetypes and the Splendors.

Worst thing that can happen with a chloroquine and azithromycin combination is that it causes heart arrhythmia and sudden death in a patient that would not have otherwise died.

Here's my attempt at a TL;DR:

* The '90s "Access in 24 hours" programmer has been replaced by the latest anecdote-based technique/toolset preacher; e.g., TDD.

* Becase deep learning is better than humans at finding useful patterns in data (whether concerning biochemistry or web site interaction) it is the best technique.

* Aesthetic (e.g., language) and social justice (e.g., feminisim) issues distract from utilitarian effectiveness.

* Utility is only furthered by math and science (where for "science" read "patterns inferred from data"), and we should aspire to be "scientific programmers" who apply only math and science.
This makes no sense. The original demand was for money and wasn't political.

I used to believe that the history of physics gave unwavering evidence that there is always a deep reason for the patterns and phenomena we observe: maybe not for the specifics of everyday life, but certainly for fundamental facts. (Think of how atomic theory made sense of the elements, or how nuclear physics explained how the sun could shine for so long, or how the unification of electricity and magnetism miraculously turned out to explain optics as well.) So I was convinced that we would someday find a fundamental theory that would be able to predict things like the fine structure constant or the charge to mass ratio of the electron.

But eventually someone pointed out that before we understood the history and nature of the solar system, natural philosophers looked for similarly deep explanations for the orbits of the planets. Kepler once proposed a deep connection between the (five) gaps between the six known planets and the five platonic solids (see, e.g. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/blogs/physics/2011/12/beautiful...), and Bode's law for planetary orbits was widely accepted until Neptune was discovered in the "wrong" place in 1846 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titius%E2%80%93Bode_law).

Today, we understand that there is no reason to expect any particular pattern of planetary orbits: solar systems are a dime a dozen in the galaxy, and their details are accidents of history. So while I don't like the idea, I've gradually come to accept that the "fundamental physical constants" of our universe could conceivably turn out to be just as arbitrary as the ratio of Jupiter's major orbital axis to Saturn's.
It's interesting. I used to work in digital agencies for quite a number of years and the pattern you see is that for a project "the management" composes a team based on who's available ("resourcing" they call it.)

A lot of projects went over budget or were delivered very late and over time I came to notice that the projects that weren't late or over budget were executed by people who'd worked together before on two or more projects. It meant that this team had already gone through a bonding experience and that their lines of communication could be kept short. I referred to this at the time as "the band" since it was like playing in a band. If the chemistry matches between people then communication will happen automatically and magic "just" seem to happen.
I actually think high level questions like these are just conversation starters which can get into highly technical conversations quickly.

Sort of like the technologies themselves; GameCenter and CoreEverything are abstractions of lower level functionality.
Being able to discuss their purpose, how to use them, and how to glue them together is what a good developer is. The rest is just syntax.
Yes. They are an american company that is owned by a Japanese company.

Just the same as the Apple store in your town, which likely has its own LLC or corporate identity, is a company of your state, owned by a company in California.

On the other hand, Sony cameras, for instance, are produced by Sony Japan, rather than an american company owned by Sony. The cameras are merely distributed here.

The only problem I had with this article is that it mistakes the purpose of a resume, as would any advice about salary negotiation prior to receiving an offer. As we both well know: the sole purpose a resume is to get an interview.

So, yes, I read that sentence carefully; I almost yapped about it, except that the last suggested sentence didn't make the huge mistake of opening up salary negotiation before interviewing.
Bullshit. The "relativity" part of "relativistic" means that the physics are the same in all inertial (non-accelerating) reference frames, independent of their relative velocity. The author isn't keeping his reference frames separate.

I am a passionate programmer. I've never found coding itself to be fun, its more like a ritual for me. I've found that if what I'm building is good, eve though actually coding it is boring, i still feel fulfilled by it. If on the other hand I'm doing a shitty job, i feel bored, frustrated and i do an even shittier job because of it. My advice would be to try to learn new thing to improve your skills and do a better job, maybe it would help.

I highly doubt it is. In the wikileaks movie ("We steal secrets") they publish a few excepts from the conversations that Manning had with Adrian Cuomo and s/he mentions it a lot. It hasn't really been a secret, but Manning has apparently decided to formally state it now.
I can't speak for kernel developers, but when you have complex and large codebase running on a huge variety of hardware, you will have some edge cases that are rare or difficult to debug. And I don't envy the folks that have to interface directly with hardware, I have enough fun in database land...
Not sure what you're suggesting. A cost is a... cost. Whether it's a loss of productivity or a license cost, attributable to OPEX or CAPEX, it's still a quantifiable expenditure. If a (any) cost isn't quantifiable then I'd suggest there are bigger problems than choosing between proprietary and non-proprietary.
What criteria make is the "most important transgender story for a very long time"?

Seems to me that he's someone that any community (especially a community of folks still fighting to gain acceptance) wouldn't necessarily want to be associated with.

A significant majority of the population thinks what he did was wrong (anecdotally, this includes a large number of people who _support_ Snowden's actions).

Additionally, he's been under significant emotional stress for the past few years. That significant ammunition for folks to say things like "See? It's just a mental illness."
Honestly, internet snarkiness and 2 minute rages aside, I wonder what this will mean for us in the future. I wonder how US crops, the Australia climate, and Chinese drinking water quality will be affected. Is this so bad that Japan has essentially damned the entire region?

True. But you don't have to provide a nice backdoor for them to use, do you?

Every system has a set of exploitable vulnerabilities. Each of those vulnerabilities is known by a set of parties other than you. With Windows you can be sure those sets have at least one element each.

You’re fundamentally betting on both people AND government to make the “good” decision even in trying times. That’s just not the case. Under duress both people, even in a healthy democracy, can reach for the easy solution to a threat which might not be the good of right solution. Time delay usually blunts that initial urge.

Pretending software can hide physical reality is weirdly cognitive dissonant
There is a lot of western music that uses different time signatures. Entire genres like math rock, fusion, and progressive rock use them all the time. Most music programs I know support changing time signature and I've seen tuning settings on many virtual instruments. I think the new protocol called MPE has better support of microtonal tunings. The defaults just depend on what software you use and what's most common with the people that use it. I guess people will get angry about anything these days.
In addition to my sibling comment, most apps now have pre-prompts for permissions, like where you see a full-pager telling you why the app wants to use notifications where you consent before getting the real consent prompt.

If you haven't pursued your MS yet, it might be better to pursue it in your destination country at a recognized university.

There are much better supports for that into a career.

International education and experience is notoriously difficult to transfer to North America. Gaining your very first north american work experience is notoriously difficult too.

Also its helpful to learn what graduates are expected to know and how they're expected to be able to think and problem solve in your destination country. Do a skills and competency map of yourself vs destination market.

For example, In anyone's home country, thinking and problem solving might not be as important as taking instructions well depending on the needs of the industry (say there is a lot of outsourcing to build to provided spec..) compared to a destination country.
I believe the opposite. i believe that with the proper direction, any child of "normal development" can excel. But I did not intend for the thread to turn into a nature vs nurture debate. I was more looking for suggestions for hacks or techniques for teaching or encouraging self learning (etc...).

All I can say is, playing that game is a decision I regret at least once a week. My business stagnated for two years as my life got sucked into that game.

I could talk about all the leadership skills and blah blah blah that I learned from GM'ing an enormous guild, but that would be deceitful, because if I had been doing anything else I would be a lot further ahead than I am now with an extra two years - or 269 real days of time spent on that game. Sure there were some benefits, but I think they are dwarfed by the opportunities I lost (great way to spend the first two years of college - you make a TON of friends playing WoW all day in your room).

So if you really want to improve yourself, stay away from this game.

Founders have to sell. ;)

Seriously, the code, methodology, and everything else comes second. Execution, which drives the sale, comes first. If you can convince your salespeople of how great the product is, then you're gold. Its a lot easier to sell something you know to be a better product than its competition.

I use both pycharm and Wing IDE for a fairly large project. I find coding python in Wing IDE easier because it is simpler (have a few virtualenvs, Wing IDE easily figures things out and code completion is pretty good). I use Webstorm (JetBrains Web IDE) for UI development and find it a good fit for that purpose.

It actually is a case of that.

In his own words: "I liked Python object model and wanted to have it in Lua, and spending time rewriting Python is just not worth it. I probably should have chose Python, not Lua. YMMV."

> Indefinitely? How do we know it's a feature vs a temporarily convenient oversight?

I would point out that Apple has permitted booting alternative operating systems throughout their m68k (at least the m68ks that could meaningfully boot Linux or a BSD derivative) [1], PowerPC [2], and Intel [3] phases. It's only on Intel they actively made this a feature, because Windows Bootcamp probably allowed to sell them a certain percentage more Macs.

The only reason to believe they would change this is that the Apple Silicon architecture changes would have Apple be interested in the Mac being some sort of equivalent to an iPod Touch. I don't really see Apple being interested in that, and Apple reps have gone on record to argue similar points as well.

I didn't see Venezuela in there. Democratically elected socialist government. (One could argue that the "democratically" part has been lacking the past few election cycles, as the government won't let the opposition freely stand for election.) But it's all there, the social programs, the social control of the means of production, and the democratic elections. Why wasn't that one of the data points? Didn't support the narrative, maybe?
Hi everyone, OP here :) In this article, I discuss 3 common mistakes that junior engineers make that 10x engineers don't. 3 key takeaways:

1) 10x engineers are investors first and foremost. Their work is an investment of their time, and they go for tasks that have the highest ROI.
2) 10x engineers are not "lone geniuses". They know when and who to ask for help.
2) Being difficult to work with instantly nullifies the 10x factor. Engineering is hard enough - don't let your ego wash out your 10x engineering skills.
