(US citizen)

Hi! My name is Sahar, and I’ve been programming for about 10 years (since I was 16). I have a BS and Masters in computer science and I like python, bash, R, and lisps. I’ve written mobile apps used by RootsCamp (a major conference), I've written code to organize and crunch Wikipedia's fundraising data, and I've created various smaller projects (like a financial planning app). Lately, I was the first data scientist at Grovo, where I helped manage our transition to a data-driven company.

I'm interested in joining a team of stellar data engineers or data scientists. That said, there's a lot of software engineering I don't know, and I'd also love to join a team where I had the opportunity to learn more.

The most important things for me are:

1. A stellar work culture
2. Opportunity to learn
3. Producing collaboratively as a team
4. Space to be my true self

Cheers!

Sure, that makes sense. Does society benefit when you help yourself? Does it matter if your way of doing that starts with "a burning desire to help others" or if you're just thinking of yourself and things you can control? Can I be passionate about myself and would that be so bad?

Very true. Most servers are multiple processors (sockets) interconnected via a high speed network (QPI, HT), and each processor has links to its own memory and some PCI lanes. You could almost see that as multiple distinct computers on one board and in one case.

Hard disks with direct ethernet connections exist (f.e. Seagate Kintec).

Ne Obliviscaris uses physics (or at least astronomy) in much of their music, especially on their album Citadel (which includes a pair of songs about black holes, like the article).

Meanwhile, independent band Mechina is in the middle of releasing an 8-album epic sci-fi story about space travel.

I rarely pay close attention to lyrics, though, so I may be off, and I may be ignoring lots of other bands that may have them (Soen seems to at least have math influence, judging from their track titles).

This seems to be true for most large companies. From the outside, everything looks great and everyone is going towards one clear direction but internally, everyone is actually in an isolated silo living its own life and no-one actually discuss with each other. On the worst cases, you even have some internal competition within these silos.

I don't think that the necessary changes apply to very many facilities at all. Maybe a few thousand buildings countrywide need to worry about crowd crushes. These sorts of crushes happen in predictable circumstances involving hundreds of people; and there are not that many concert amphitheaters. Or consider the Jamaraat Bridge - how many crushes is it, by itself, up to now?
> 2 years ago it was banned in my sixth form still, but the sources at the bottom were allowed.

That's a really good lesson about sources in general. One can't even trust a primary source, except as an indicator about what someone at close hand thought to write down; it and everything which references it will have biases, slant and perspective.

There is such a thing as truth, but it can only be approximated.
And given that the OSS was infamous for being populated with high social status corporate types, "Oh So Social" was one variant it was called, we can be very sure they learned these methods, one way or another, in the organizations they came from, so it's inherently useful either way.
> Economics has already answered why inequality has dropped drastically in the past 20-30 years.

Except this isn't quite true. In most countries inequality has increased, although baseline poverty has indeed been raised somewhat (and probably for different reasons than you think).

> Some folks just don't like the fact that the answer is capitalism.

In countries where inequality has actually decreased, it's been mainly because of socialist-style politics. Even the decrease in base poverty in many countries is caused by transfers of wealth from migrants back to their families.

The reduction in inequality this century was because of 2 world wars, and 50+ years of Marxism/communism in various parts of the world.

Data shows that in many countries (especially fiercely capitalist ones) inequality is actually increasing...
It's the de facto shorthand for Raspberry Pi. Language evolves; it's a beautiful thing to behold evolution in ones own lifespan! I have found something my mother used to say to be very helpful here, if you're feeling particularly curmudgeonly about such things: "you can be right, or you can be happy."

She went on to say that being "right" isn't true as often as one thinks, and in any case, forcing your "rightness" on others can sometimes exclude you from groups, opportunities, and experiences, which takes away happiness. Being happy doesn't mean abandoning your principals, either. It means knowing when it's worth picking a battle versus letting something go because you may, in fact, be wrong according to those in the know, and in any case, when principals aren't involved, it's often easier to simply let it go.

This is all a polite way of suggesting what another might say in three semi-rude words, and that I'll only repeat here to potentially prevent someone else from being abrasive, not because I mean too say them directly myself: "get over it."
No, absolutely not. I'm talking about the system of a single company; its customers, inputs, processes and people, and finally outputs.

What do you think is the scope any one company is responsible for? Is there something about the quality of their output that they are not responsible for?

I'm not saying bug-free software is the goal, and maybe I'm too far off on a tangent to still be relevant to this conversation—just trying to get across that bugs come from somewhere, you should think about what all that "somewhere" is by looking at the complex system surrounding it, and you should not punish your developers or put them under the metaphorical bridge to hold them accountable for not producing bugs. That is ridiculous and ignorant of the system, and the system between and around people—not the individuals themselves—are where bugs come from.

Imagine there's a place you want to get to along with a lot of other people.

It starts as a nice queue and is pretty orderly but then some people start pushing in and trying to jump ahead in the line. Other people see this and try the same thing. If there's no good exit or crowd control then the back of the crowd slowly pushes against the front until disaster occurs.

People in the back have no idea that there is nowhere to go but they've been standing for hours and want to keep moving forward.
