I've gone from programming to owner of a fledging digital agency and I'm structuring the organisation so that my role as CEO includes sufficient time to be technical mentor to my developers.

So far it is incredibly rewarding. I'm spending less time writing code for projects and more time writing code in group sessions with my team passing on skills. Seeing the team grow and develop is amazing.

I don't know if this approach fits into the traditional management role but if you can make it work, being a multiplying force is tremendously rewarding.

From a monetary perspective I'm doing better than I did so a programmer, but the entrepreneurial path requires a lot of non software related skills and is much higher risk.
Did it call them 'green threads'? If not, the terminology itself probably doesn't come from there.
No. Climate change is not really in dispute, and neither are its origins in human activity.

Yes it is in dispute. The left just doesn't want it to be in dispute. People get nervous when people question their religion, and global warming is the official religion of leftists.

Not only that, but not so long ago (in geological terms) the Midwestern United States was covered in several miles of ice.
I think the purpose of a lot of these movements is to point out the natural counterpoint to this:

Just because the facts were placed in our textbook by some culturally privileged Caucasian scholar doesn't mean that they are true.

Academia has a history of claiming things as objectively true, and then changing it's mind. It's healthy to question these things from the beginning. If you're doing secondary research then you ought to be asking who wrote what you are reading, what was their outlook on life, and why did they choose to write what they wrote. If you are doing primary research then you ought to be asking the same thing about your methodology.

There surely is such thing as 'objective truth', but it isn't to be found in textbooks written by human beings.
Interesting.

Why is this interpreted as a relative path?

When? How far back are we going?
True, but they're still privately-owned corporations. Working at one is not like working for the government: you don't get the job security and other perks that government workers get.

However, working there isn't like working at a company in the commercial sector either. You have to get a clearance, you might work with classified information, you'll frequently work with government workers, you might work at government facilities even. And you'll be exposed to a lot of nonsense, as you said, because it is government work, even though you're paid differently.

Basically, being a contractor has two big differences from being a government worker: you generally get paid more, but you don't have the job security and can be furloughed at any time (without pay) if there's a government shutdown or if the contract you're working under ends. (Government workers get furloughed too when Congress doesn't pass a budget, but they usually get back pay after it's over.) The big advantage with government work (government or contractor) seems to be that you can be a worse-than-mediocre worker and still have a job with decent security.
As bizarre as it may look, it's still a small step towards something. Internet-of-Things(buzzword), smart appliances - it's already entering our lives in some fashion. And so will cybernetics. There has to be trendsetters that start with simple things.

Don't miss the forest for the trees.

The desire to survive against a perceived threat may have been the impetus for all of these but immediately beyond that, all of these could not have been possible without the collaboration between scientists.

If we could but discover a new motivation for technological innovation besides murder, such innovations could occur at a fraction of the time and cost and not run the risk of being used to suicide the entire species (i.e. nuclear weapons).

Additionally, when taking into consideration the existential threat of climate change, the survival of the species may now depend on a status quo of mutual aid rather than mutual sabotage.
Why would you want your log files purely as text? It tends to take up a lot more space when you're storing a useful amount of readable information.

Category prefixes and time stamps alone take up enough space that you could benefit from having them stored concisely. Indentation actually takes up space. The lines are delimited, not counted (you can have a trailing count). And so on. Space will always be a bottleneck, and generating the data will always take time; no reason to make that worse. The average log byte will be written once and then never looked at by a human.

Producing ASCII text also requires a lot more code. Entire articles have been written on the correct way to print a float as decimal digits... or, you could memcpy 4 bytes into a buffer, while knowing ahead of time exactly how much space you'll need (and the value will round trip perfectly). Something similar goes for integers (using something like LEB128 encoding). In both cases the encoded data will likely take up less space than most useful text representations, even taking into account any control bytes, while being a lot quicker to produce. "But what if there's a bug?"... well, you'll probably find it in one of your first tests, when you write the first thing that sprang to mind. There's not much space for bugs to sneak in.

People don't like this because we have crappy tools. If `cat' supported this kind of encoding as-is, nobody would complain about the idea. You can tell by the popularity of gzip... who complains about gzip? But good luck trying to read a gzip file without the right tools.
Fire cooks food, but waving your hands above a candle for warmth doesn't "cook" your hands. However, if you do damage your skin (especially repeatedly), the tissue damage and repair cycle can increase the risk of cancer.

So when it comes to cell phones, do those microwaves merely warm human tissue very slightly, or might it occasionally be concentrated in a way to cause micro-burns? Supposing the body is repeatedly having to heal tiny microwave burns, it wouldn't be surprising at all if cancer risk is increased.
This is pretty cool.

I've always found selection sort to be the most intuitive. When I was in school, a professor mentioned that bubble sort is sort of the "easy" sort that people would discover on their own, but I always thought it seemed complicated compared to selection sort.

Selection sort is basically "Find the next smallest item in the remaining unsorted list, and use it as the next value."
While this is trivial for some people, it is extremely difficult to infeasible for others.

Taking advantage of people's passive integration of sensory input into their perception of the world around them seems like a reasonable aid for people who have difficulty with things of this nature.

Let's say I see 2 qualified candidates a week and they accept our offer at a rate of 20%. To ramp up to a team of 12, I'll had to have seen 60 candidates, which will take 30 weeks.

But then I take a look at my process and realize I've got a problem that's keeping 1/3rd of my qualified candidates from even applying. Fix that, and I jump up to seeing 3 qualified candidates per week, which drops my ramp time to just 20 weeks.

The effort I put into fixing my hiring process just gave me 10 bonus weeks of a fully-ramped team. If your company actually knows how to use developers to make money, that could be literally millions of dollars.
I think the idea is MS employees are hamstrung by having to use an inferior OS because it's the one their employer makes. It's like being a Honda employee who needs to tow a heavy load for some company project, and while a big Ford diesel F-350 would be perfect for the job, you're not allowed to use that and have to use a Honda Ridgeline instead, but the load is beyond the Ridgeline's towing capacity so you either have to use two Ridgelines (which is probably illegal and technically difficult), or just overload one Ridgeline (which is both illegal and very dangerous). Or, you're an employee of Freightliner, and you need to go buy something from a local business, but you have to use a company vehicle. But the company vehicles are all Freightliner semi-tractors, and they don't have any regular cars in their fleet because they don't make cars. So you're expected to drive a semi-tractor to some local business to pick up something, and the local business doesn't even have a parking lot large enough for you to get the truck in.

Best tool for the job, and all that. Now arguably, Windows is indeed the best tool for business type people working at MS, due to the application software, the network environment they're in, etc.. However, for researchers doing heavy computing, I would say it's definitely not, it's quite inferior. There's a reason most of the supercomputers, render farms, etc. now run Linux, and it's not just license cost.
The person in the article didn't post that they were a white supremacist, but somehow LinkedIn communicated that to the world. The issue isn't that they're making information you added public, it's that they're making up information about you.

"That story leaves out significant details, and his description of the reason is wrong. He leaves out significant prior sources and reasons, to the point your statement "It was not created to help artists or whoever" is simply wrong.
"

If you want to point out details, i'm sure Karl will correct it.

"Wikipedia provides a far better history with extensive sources [1]. Note for example the section "Early Developments" where they list precursors to anything in your source as having significant components of individual and author rights.
"

These citations are, honestly, mostly BS. Read the early documents yourself, and you'll see they pretty much make it up as they go along.

"Note also in the US copyright law was started by author guilds wanting author protection, and the first federal copyright act in 1790 was about protection for authors, not for printers."

This is kind of irrelevant to why copyright law came to be, since by then it was already a thing, and part of the entire point is that by then, authors and others had started trying to convince others that it was needed for protectionist reasons, claiming that history also felt a need to be protectionist, when this is completely inaccurate.
This still just seems unsubstantiated. Can you point to what is hand waving or what important things are left out?
If that urge is really so deep, then why do so many people voluntarily not have children, or have fewer children than they could? If your main goal is to dominate the gene pool it seems clear that the best strategy is to sire as many children as possible.

"Which is why you can check the references. When the article linked above about copyright is clearly coming from an anti-copyright source, and does not mention multiple important things Wikipedia does, I think any intelligent person realizes the Wikipedia source is more credible.
"

You can also check the references from the article i cited.
But apparently, those references are somehow wrong, and yours, somehow right, simply because they are cited by wikipedia?

Would you care to point how they are wrong?

Instead you simply say it's "100% inaccurate", because a few other law articles say something else.
That is quite a claim!

(Note, the ones Karl is citing in his article are in much larger law journals, books on copyright history, etc.
The things Wikipedia is citing are mostly pretty niche)

I think any intelligent person realizes wikipedia is mostly astroturfed these days, and also usually represents popular opinion on things, not accurate history.

Not just for project managers but I have noticed in others and myself when I take this attitude I, and they, are usually wrong. It is best to listen, reflect, consider and reflect some more. Arrogance gets in the way of good and great teams all the time.

Ego also gets in the way. I'm working with several people right now that just leave their ego at the door and bring their smarts into the room. We are ending up with better solutions faster than we would otherwise.

New activisim? Last time I checked, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth with his activism against the prevailing politics, was tried and sentenced to death. So, um, new?

Granted I don't think this particular strain of activism has such high stakes, but come on, impressionable youth-becoming-adults is a really lucrative demographic for "buy in" to lots of different ideologies (see also: "extremism" in the name of one cause or another). Those flames tend to burn out rather on the quick side, personal experience as my reference point.

> I think much of human suffering due to competition stems from lack of security, or the lack of reassurance that basic needs will be met.

Good comment - there are two places I disagree with you:

1) See the hedonic treadmill theory[0]. You could point to someone, relatively speaking, who is on top of the world. But they are still unhappy. Why is this? It's sometimes theorized that we are at a "set point" in happiness, and while we can run faster on the treadmill, or slow down on the treadmill from time to time, we are stuck at this set level of happiness.

2) Surely the vast majority of the developed western world is not at a lack for "basic needs", but why is there so much anger and despair? Because I believe you might be missing more of the "basic needs" than just Food and Water. See Maslow's hierarchy of needs[1]. While it is also theory which has arguments against it, it utilizes a more comprehensive definition of "needs."

Surely there are many people in the western world who lack psychological stability or lack companionship.

> All of the needs of your friends and family are met.

You will need to define "needs" because IMHO, that is not true. I have relatives who are veterans of war, friends who have had psychotic breaks, friends who have everything they need but something just doesn't "click" with them.

Surely Italy at the time had a far larger population base than Switzerland.

Also, Switzerland did produce something: a much better society, which served as an example to others. Unfortunately, just as we see today with the difference between developed and undeveloped nations, people are generally too stupid, in groups, to actually learn from others' examples.
