What about train engineers? Sound engineers? Sanitation engineers? That ship sailed so long ago, it did so on steam power. I'm not even going to read your article. Clickbait: denied.

Besides, yes, of course, the civil engineer, what if bridges fall, certifications, professional order, etc. What about the electrical engineer making a portable radio, or a cable? We were just talking about how those can be just as bad as software (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10508494).

In contrast, the doctor has certifications, a professional order, etc. So does the lawyer. Are those engineers? No. Turns out those things have nothing to do with the concept of engineering itself, but rather with the kind of legal framework that is appropriate in some businesses that carry a high risk of personal damage to others, and/or with the desire and ability of certain groups to control access to a profession. All of which are tradeoffs, which means there needs not be a single set-point that is ideal across all fields of engineering. As any engineer could have told you.
I see warning as an error where some acceptable course of action could be taken without needing to abort the action.

For example, the user has provided a config with two TCP ports to listen to, but the program only supports one.

You can either error out, and abort the action to listen to a port, or warn the user saying that you chose one of the ports, and proceed with listening to a port.
Have you cleaned it out at any point? With Macbooks, dust seems to be a pretty common issue after some time, and cleaning it out can make a big difference. Chips don't slow over time, and if the RAM is good and the HD is good, and you didn't install a bunch of new, hungrier, software, then it could be thermally related. Both removing dust and possibly applying new thermal paste can help.

Buddhism is merely a method to accept Nihilism (Nihilism being "the belief that all values are baseless"). The Anathapindika records that the Buddha taught that there was no Creator God (issara-karaṇa-vāda), therefore there were no morals, that the universe was deterministic and there was no free will, but that even so humans should strive to act with loving-kindness ("just because"/Eastern nonrationalism).

Ultimately, the true goal of Buddhism is to achieve "Enlightenment", a state of mind where one fully internalises this Daoist idea that God does not exist and due to this Good and Evil are not different but are one and the same (as depicted in the symbol of the Yin Yang). According to Buddhism, Good and Evil have no real existence, being part of the illusory world of phenomena.

All of the practices done before this (meditation, compassion, tantra, etc) are--as in other branches of Hindu and Dharmic faiths--understood to be merely optional "yogas" or activities to fill the time and enjoy oneself in a Nihilistic world.

Buddhists sometimes claim these practices can lead to Enlightenment, but what they don't mention is any practice on Earth is as likely to lead to this state, because for the Buddhist, wanting Enlightenment is a huge mistake as Moksha/Nirvana/Nihilism is available at all times, without the practices, as our default status. As Jed McKenna notes: Why does Buddhism rarely produce Buddhas? It is because Buddhist practices ("yogas") are not able to transmit the realization that Self is Illusion and All is Nothingness.

Christianity on the other hand teaches that Good and Evil are distinct, objective, and Real, that Good is to be sought and practiced, and that man has been endowed with self-evident, unalienable value having been created in the Image of God, giving unconditional worth to all human persons. As the Personalist Project puts it "those who repudiate God cannot preserve [this affirmation] though they may for a time live by the light of a setting sun".

You make a fair point, and I also do appreciate the definition used by Sam in his post, which was (the site is now down) about network effects compounding the bigger you get, and creative a positive feedback loop. I buy that definition, sure, and I get your comment. However, what I take issue with is funneling tons of smart minds into a quest for green-field or blue-ocean opportunities. There are tons of huge opportunities in existing businesses. I guess I don't understand how we got from "disruption" to "find a business with no competition."

"the number of Americans who self-identify as Cherokee or mixed-race Cherokee has grown substantially over the past two decades."

Assuming completely random mating, the ancestor count of a small group inside a large stable population should double every generation.

"In 2000, the federal Census reported that 729,533 Americans self-identified as Cherokee. By 2010, that number increased, with the Census Bureau reporting that 819,105 Americans claiming at least one Cherokee ancestor."

12% in 10 years, or 33% in 25 years (a modern generation) is less than would be expected by that first-order theory.

You have to tax someone, so let's distribute the burden. Everyone feels a mild impact instead of a flat percent that crushes poor people.

Unless you think we shouldn't tax anyone, then I can't help with understanding.
I was reacting to the definition of "lifestyle business" not the label.

I don't think passive income is needed at all, I think "lifestyle business" is a useful definition for making tradeoffs in your business decisions in favor of your lifestyle.

e.g. setting up a consulting business in a small coastal town because you like to surf every morning, even though it costs you potential business. To my mind, that's certainly a "lifestyle business".

Doing this with a product business is harder but not impossible.

>>The only reason you provide that much for her product is not it's cost or some inherent value you see it in, but an artificial constraint of distribution. If it was $0.2 or $1 per book you'd be equally happy to pay that instead of $10.

So who exactly should decide how much something costs? Do you think the author should not control how much a copy of their book costs?

There are plenty of much cheaper (and still good universities). The local one here is $2000 a semester and while it doesn't have prestige, it's a very good all around university.

Also, the Internet makes it easy to learn random things about different topics, it's not very good at guiding you through topics that you didn't know to investigate. It's also not able to force you to study topics you don't want to, or take an entire class worth of material instead of a single Wikipedia article.

"One important counterintuitive reason for this is that it’s easier to do something new and hard than something derivative and easy. People will want to help you and join you if it’s the former; they will not if it’s the latter." So Google didn't invent the Internet Search it was a derivative but not easy. Facebook didn't invent the SocialNetwork and actually made it easier than e.g. MySpace. Amazon was not the first online retailer but made it better, more reliable. WhatsApp? we knew how to send textmessages for a while but well they made it more convient. So a good idea must not be something unique new but something which makes the product better than the rest.

Same here, iOS 6 and iPhone 4. I hate using my phone for anything substantial, whether it's reading an article, writing an article etc, I'm fine doing it on my MBP. So I pretty much just use my phone for whatsapp, fb messenger, checking email, getting directions or checking a store's opening times, music, calls. None of that requires anything extraordinary so I've been fine so far. But then there's the apps that require iOS7 to install or update, and those instances are increasing. So I'm definitely on the verge of an upgrade because I'm being shut out from modernity haha.

The New Testament also has several verses admonishing freshly-converted Christian slaves to obey their masters (Eph. 6:5, 1 Peter 2:18). Christianity at that time was controversial enough that they didn't want to add abolitionism to the mix.

Even in Medieval/Renaissance Europe there was a healthy slave trade centered around filling galleys with oarsmen who were understandably not happy with such repetitive work under terrible working conditions. Genoese traders in Italy even collaborated with the Crimean khanate in enslaving Eastern European Orthodox Christians so they could fill out their galleys. Also, taking of Moorish slaves during the back-and-forth of Mediterranean maritime politics.

Seems roughly analogous to the holographic universe idea where all the information in a space is captured on the surface....
Pragmatic implications of Godel's theorem are that by extension it is possible to derive ambiguities in any formal system. And as to the possibility of formulating a 'general theory of everything' it's good to remember that the one thing a knife can't cut is itself. Attempt 'Gnothi Seauton' as the old Greeks put it. Meaning understand self before seriously attempting to employ received cognitive analytical functionalities to understand other stuff. But then Kantean musings about what it is that's doing the understanding crop up, which can go on forever.

«The way I think it should end is for software engineering to be separated from computer science at the university level. ABET-accredited BSCS programs are practically that already, but most CS programs don't give a crap about ABET.»

The deeper problem is that most of the industry doesn't seem to care about degrees, much less ABET accrediting. I have two ABET accredited degrees (BSc, MEng), but that doesn't seem to matter in the slightest to a large number of the companies that I've applied to/interviewed with.

The bootstrapping problem here is that accredited degrees and licensure don't matter until companies say they matter and companies won't feel they matter until other companies decide to start requiring them.

In my current job I've started to see first hand a bit more that I previously saw as to how accreditation and licensure matter to other engineering fields and what that means, and it is eye opening to compare to software right now.

I've been using openSUSE for a couple of months after having been using Ubuntu / Netrunner Linux and at one point Debian. I really don't think I'll search for any other distro anytime soon. I really enjoy that I can find almost every piece of software I need on their repositories even if I have to enable a custom repository from a user (much like Ubuntu does already). One thing I didn't realize is that it is actually a successor to Slackware, which was my first Linux distro ever back in 2008. I'm just hoping openSUSE Leap turns out to be as stable as it's been so far.
OTOH, there's the counter argument that if search engines and OS vendors are willing to pay for browsers, why should Facebook and/or Netflix spend any money? It seems to be the classic business case problem of, "well everyone else is paying for it already, and as a result we won't have much affect".

I do, of course, realise that FB and Netflix very much have an interest in the web platform, and could undoubtedly influence it more if they were willing to contribute code. That said, it's probably worthwhile to point out to those who don't know that both FB and Netflix are W3C members, and have several people who contribute heavily to specs.

So, the mobile app is an actual native app, with no phonegap / webview.

I'm sorry but this is a false analogy [1].

You're suggesting that something that doesn't happen (mechanical engineers + minecraft) is analogous to something that does happen (corporate programmers + code poetry).

Are you then suggesting that we outlaw minecraft because there may be a brain dead mechanical engineer alive?

What you're suggesting is akin to either outlawing essays like this or only allowing "Professional Engineers" (i.e. certification required) to write code?

The only solution is for the latter since the former is typical of a professional engineer seeking intellectual stimulation and should be applauded.

If we're going to blame the employers, can someone show me that there's a disproportionately large number of unemployed minority engineers that are seeking work but not getting it?

Makes sense, but I'd say it should be a disproportionately large per-capita fraction of minority engineers with similar degrees, experience, geographic location, etc, relative to white engineers with the same characteristics.

For example, if minority engineers with Stanford degrees with 7-10 years experience and living in zip codes [A, B, C, ...] are 10% unemployed and their white classmates have a 5% unemployment rate, that could be evidence of deliberate discrimination. It's important to compare like to like, otherwise you can wind up with all sorts of weird conclusions.

Note that countries used to do a lot more forced institutionalization than they do now. There were lots of abuses (even in the West, to say nothing of the way it worked in the Soviet Union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_abuse_of_psychiatry_... should be a must-read for anyone arguing for government involvement in institutionalization decisions) and people have backed away from that sort of thing.

It's possible that Europe and the US have swung too much to the other extreme now, of course. But as you say this is very much not black and white.
