This is almost completely wrong.

Building consensus is just one management style. It is by no means the only one, or even the only effective one. It's not unethical to manage in a different fashion. The people being managed don't like it, but that doesn't make it unethical. Just find a better job.

Checking out and doing what you're told is a rational response, one that management would not be opposed to seeing. You're still getting paid the same, but are having your responsibilities taken away. Most other people are overworked and underpaid, you're getting underworked and overpaid. So why complain?

Being able to come into work, do a job, and go home without having to be worried about the outcome of your efforts, to have someone else on the hook for it, that would be looked at by a lot of people as a luxury. But devs all seem to have this ego that keeps them from being able to appreciate the reprieve.

Yes. Check out mentally. Do your job and go home at 5 and do all those other things in your life that you've been neglecting because you were putting that energy into your job. Spend time with your wife and kids, date if you're single. Work on your hobbies. Enjoy it because that's not going to last forever either.
I thought Mr.Musk had more integrity. Am not his fan anymore.

Mr.Alsop was just complaining about the way the launch event was organised. Even if just one customer showed up for the event its just bad on Tesla's part to keep them waiting that long without even owing an apology for that long. Half hour delay is within normal limits for a big event. On top of that cancelling a pre order was very very childish. Look who's treating their customers badly.

Now people will think again before paying him for a trip to mars. Better not annoy him or ...
I like LaTeX but it was very tedious for resumes. With resumes, you sometimes want to change the format entirely. LaTeX is great for a consistent format, not so much when experimenting.

Markdown also has the benefit of giving you an up to date plaintext resume. I like that a lot, considering a lot of job sites like to automatically (and poorly) convert PDF into plaintext.
Also, while you can blame your shitty Twitter or Quora experience on "random Internet strangers" posting crap, your Facebook feed is literally who you associate with in real life. It's a pretty decent mirror. Looking at it may be uncomfortable, so people blame the medium instead.
> We have the technology to do this

We're not even close to being able to make self-reproducing robots.

Even a simple robot requires a huge supply chain. Take, say, the photoresists used in chip manufacture -- that's an entire chemical industry that you need to box up. That little industry has a bunch of needs on its own. Okay, box those up, too. Repeat. Now let's do insulation for wires . . . or batteries.

It takes a lot more than a village to make a robot, it pretty much takes a country. Probably several, given how suitable raw materials are so inconveniently spread around (and often, hard to find, so I guess we need to add some kind of prospecting facility now).

Short of general-purpose nano-assemblers, which are likely to remain science fiction for quite some time, you'll not put a self-reproducing robot into a probe-sized package any time soon.
But that's simply a part of how we tend to this sort of thing, private actors with a public watchdog.

I'm under the very strong impression that works better than a public actor with a public watchdog, we've seen too many examples of common mode failure (politics), the most recent notorious one being Flint's water system. (And as noted by others, private actors have marketplace feedback.)
Stack Overflow: A Technical Deconstruction
There's at least one very big difference: the equipment for reactivating the frozen tissue, which modern cryonics does not even attempt to create, needs to be put on the spaceship at launch. Otherwise, even if perfectly preserved tissue arrives at its destination in a few centuries, it will just remain in that state until power runs down or something breaks.

It might also be prudent to consult a psychiatrist, or at least a GP first, to determine if any contra-indications apply to you (e.g. existing underlying psychosis). A trip can really help a person but, as with any medication, could end up doing harm if it is given to the wrong person.

Why is this a problem as long as bugs are separated by component? Sometimes a feature will require work on multiple platforms, and it's nice to go to one place to get a sense of overall progress. And, since the bugs/tasks are separated by component, you can get the granular view you want as well.

"The authors argue that the major problem in many negotiations is that people assume positions that are either Hard or Soft. They suggest that, rather than being either hard on the people and the problem, or soft on people and problem, it is possible to be soft on the people and hard on the problem. They call this approach Principled negotiation or Negotiation on its merits." Getting to Yes - Roger Fisher, William Ury

Software dev isn't driving this, business is. NASA coding practices prove we can do exactly what you're saying, but businesses don't care for (or don't often need) the rigor that NASA requires. I'd bet a lot of people would enjoy participating in NASA-quality projects if only to experience it and feel good about producing rock-solid code even if they only commit 50 lines total, but they are very rare.

Yes, but at the same time, Women are tired of being treated like they're special. All of my friends who are women and engineers(or similar) would much rather be called an "engineer", not a "woman engineer". They HATE that. Treat them as equals. By giving them all these special titles and groups, the message somewhat becomes, "hey, you can't really compete with us, so we have you special groups where you can thrive and feel good about yourself." Actually talk to the majority of women out there, they don't want that. They want to compete in the same field as men.
Yeah, but you do prevent refactorization across service boundaries. I feel as if you should really think twice before cementing your architecture like that.
> From the Wikipedia article about the Solar Probe+, it seems the spacecraft should achieve 200km/s as it passes by the Sun. At that speed, a trip to Mercury (57.91 million km) would take 80 hours?

If you read the Wikipedia article more closely (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Probe_Plus) you'll note that it takes seven flybys of Venus over the course of six years to get into that orbit, and the resulting orbit has an 88 day period.

Plus, if you want to do anything more than whiz past Mercury, you need to bleed off that 200km/s speed to orbital velocity, which takes an enormous amount of fuel.

I go for two pages (two sides of a single page) myself. But I think US resumes are a slightly different concept that goes into exhaustive detail about work history. As somebody that has acted as hiring manager in the past, I definitely preferred the shorter curriculum vitae format - it shows attention to detail and an understanding of what is relevant to the job at hand. I have had feedback on my own CV from time to time that it didn't go into enough detail, so it's horses for courses I suppose ...
It's their codebase, they paid for it. If they don't want to maintain it properly, then it's on them. It will just get more and more expensive to maintain until they replace it with newer technology.

Developers fetishize their codebases and complain about unpaid technical debt, but not all the bad code I've run across I can push off to management making the wrong decisions. I've seen a lot of bad decisions made by the original developer too, who just did things improperly.

Devs have this nasty tendency to push their mistakes onto their employer by calling it technical debt. If you're incurring technical debt, then you need to spend some time analyzing it and coming to a real understanding of the tradeoffs you're making in doing it a certain way. Hopefully you'll have documentation somewhere that describes the debt, what's being worked around, and what it would take to do it right.

If you're not doing that, then you're just leaving a mess for the next guy. Messy work isn't technical debt, it's just sloppy work.
We have the technology to do this. We truly do.

I'm not sure we do. Space fabrication is a business we've only just started in. We've done IKEA-in-space to make the ISS, and we're just about at the stage of growing veg on it. We've experimented with sintering of lunar dust on earth. That's really about it. We've not manufactured so much as a bolt in actual space, let alone built the IC fabrication infrastructure that would be required for robots.

I know a guy who has owned various-sized printing companies since the late seventies.

He told me that, when desktop publishing started happening in mid-'80s, the consensus in his business was that computers wouldn't have much of an impact on "real printing" because the kerning you got from digital sources was so bad.

When I hear people saying "there's no way a computer could do that properly", I think of 1985 print shop owners confident in how their handmade kerning provides value to customers.
You are right. It's good enough for many apps. I probably have several nodejs/electron/js desktop apps running and I have no complaints. It is the most cost effective way to target multiple platforms and the development experience is fantastic without having to get into .net win forms or xaml/wpf on Windows or the monstrosity that is Xcode/UI builder or God forbid Java or the worst Dev ecosystem that is android/eclipse.

So let's be practical here. If I am doing a startup or a side projects I am definitely going with JavaScript on the client - I have more freedom on the server and will probably pick either elixir/Phoenix, rails or .net

JVM's gc is most likely significantly better. On the other hand golang's gc needs to collect less objects, in some cases orders of magnitude less.

If you compare a slice of structs with 1000 elements, it'll be one object (and allocation) in golang. Equivalent array in JVM requires the array itself + 1000 Objects, 1001 allocations. In this case, golang has lot less object graph to gc.

Of course slice of 1000 interfaces or pointers faces the same 1001 issue in golang as well.

You could emulate same gc load cost in JVM at cost of runtime performance by storing the objects in a byte array and [de]serialize as needed, but that's neither idiomatic or acceptable solution most of the time.

You don't go direct, and the target is also moving. But the main limitation is "delta V", or the effective speed change you can achieve with a particular quantity of fuel.

The Mariner 10 trip did it in 5 months, which is reasonable. The article doesn't mention Mercury at all. A minimum-fuel trip to Mars is estimated at 3 years, I believe.

Wikipedia:

> Another reason why so few missions have targeted Mercury is that it is very difficult to obtain a satellite orbit around the planet on account of its proximity to the Sun, which causes the Sun’s gravitational field to pull on any satellite that would be set into Mercury's orbit. Furthermore, spacecraft naturally accelerate as they approach the greater gravitational pull of the Sun, but must slow down for orbit insertion, so this entails considerable fuel requirements. This is different with superior planets beyond Earth’s orbit where the satellite works against the pull of the Sun. Therefore, reaching an orbit around Mercury requires especially expensive rocketry. Mercury's lack of an atmosphere poses further challenges because it precludes aerobraking or the use of a parachute type device.[3] Thus a landing mission would have even more demanding fuel requirements.

This page contains a partial list of security issues that have not affected web apps when they run in Sandstorm -- typically because of the hardening we do to apps, or because of the hardening we do against the attack surface of the Linux kernel. The purpose is to demonstrate that our security practices provide some degree of useful protection in the face of real-world vulnerabilities."
Yes, the moment Earth and Mercury are the closest is when the Sun, Mercury and Earth are aligned, so going from Earth to Mercury at this moment is heading towards the Sun, but then gravity from the Sun will be too strong to be able to stop at Mercury.

Nice post but the essential info is missing—the CSS property font-kerning.

The font-kerning property controls the usage of the kerning information; it controls how letters are spaced. The kerning information is stored in the font, and if the font is well-kerned.
You can work backwards towards first principles. In my case, whenever I learn something new, I always stop to boil things down to the essentials. What does this new tool / framework actually do, what am I hoping to accomplish.

Then I try to work it as best I can into my current toolset. For me, all projects get a repo on Github, and I get the nasty infrastructure bits implemented first, like deployment workflow, before actually working on the problem.

There's an art and craft to learning new things that I find fulfilling all on its own without having to turn it into something lofty.

Code qua written expression is speech. The government can't ban, for example, the publication of encryption code. But that doesn't mean the government loses the ability to regulate the operation of a product just because the operation is implemented using code rather than electronic circuits.

As to your printing press hypothetical, I don't think it applies. Say the back door is something like "must keep the decryption key around in case a warrant comes in." That doesn't entail any modification to the "speech" coming out of the device, does it? So how does it restrict speech?

This is a misleading, bait-y title. Yahoo took a write-down on Tumblr, but that doesn't mean it "lost value" post-acquisition. A far more likely reason for the write-down is that Tumblr was overvalued at acquisition. Paying too much for something is not the same thing as reducing its value.

The title leaves the impression that the way Yahoo has managed Tumblr has harmed the site. It may have, but the article presents no evidence to back that argument up.
