Take this article with a grain of salt. Their description of Singlish is enough to disqualify the accuracy of the rest of the piece. Singlish is not a unique or separate langauage, or even an actual language. Comparing Singlish to English is no different than comparing Cockney to English. I don't think the different dialects of English within the U.K. are all considered separate languages, and therefore Singlish should not be either. An American English speaker will likely have much better chance of understanding a Singaporean than understanding some of the U.K. dialects.

I run a smallish team (6 including me) at a startupish company (as in it's quite small with growth ambitions, but the nature of the industry means it's never going to be worth much more than $40m even in the best case.

I say this sort of thing - not that often because people have taken it on board. As far as I'm concerned it's just best practice. Sustained crunch style working doesn't make you go any faster - bugs, burn out, turn over they'll all kill any short term gains you might get. If someone is being pressured into running a team into the ground, they have a professional duty to push back against that - it's in the best interests of all concerned.

I also feel that it makes it much easier to ask people to work longer if some emergency does come up that can't wait (bug in production or something like that - we get this maybe 3-4 times a year and it generally means a couple of late days getting it sorted).

I'm not sure why anyone thinks "this time the death march might work!"

For the majority of the age of advertising -- basically since newspapers came along -- nobody knew how effective any given advertisement was.

Now we have actual feedback, and the results are tremendously disappointing to everyone except two categories: companies who are completely unknown, and companies who are part of a dominant 2-10 vendor market.

If you are completely unknown, any advertising improves your situation.

If you are a market leader battling for the top few slots in a giant consumer marketplace, huge spending can change consumer perception a little. Getting 2% more sales at the expense of your competitors may be worthwhile.

But the bread-and-butter of advertising was everybody in between those two extremes, and the actual effectiveness is now known to be basically zero.

Brilliant, I've been looking for projects like this. I'm currently working through a couple of RBM C# projects but will add this to my list of reference code.

Top tip: If you use the matrix and vector classes in math.net then you can optionally configure it to use optimised version of e.g. matrix multiplication, that map through to one of the providers, such as Intel Math Kernel Lib, OpenBLAS, and I think there's a CUDA provider too.

I tried the Intel MKL one and the dense matrix multiplication was about 60x faster than a plain C# version.

I'm a long-time IRC user (back to 2004---wait, it might not qualify as "long-time") as well, but I feel that the current reputation of IRC is simply built around communities that still conglomerate on IRC. IRC is a horrible protocol in the modern standard, lacking every bit of the modernism you define. I still don't like a recent trend of using something like the Slack instance for public discussion, but that trend clearly shows that the continued "success" of IRC is simply an illusion or at best depending on an external factor.
The general public aren't all that liberal even in the liberal west. It seems to be a question of security: the more secure people feel, the more willing they are to let others do their own thing. Whereas if their own economic or security situation is bad, they're much more likely to interpret difference as threat.
I don't agree with the Naming Convention paragraph. If you have a lot to talk about I don't want to be interrupted every 15 minutes for the next micro-meeting. Sometimes many related issues can be talked out in a single meeting when all parties are able to voice their input.

A type checker for Python can say: "pass", "reject" or "I don't know".

Statically typed languages (1) introduce limitations so that type checking is decidable (no incertitude), or (2) or treat "don't know" as "reject", because the runtime has practically no knowledge of type. This is not the case in Python, so you don't have to check everything. That does not mean you shouldn't check anything.

So there are still benefits in Python to have type in order to "reject" code that is undoubtedly going to produce type errors at runtime (or maybe to optimize things). In case of uncertainty, you know the runtime is going to catch errors anyway (including type errors).
+1 for IRC, the interface is clunky and the protocol hasn't aged particularly well (especially for mobile devices who may not be able to hold a connection forever). But the social aspect of easily accessible chatrooms and the plethora of clients/tools surrounding IRC is really second to none.

You can put a pretty skin on it (slack,discord) but at the end of the day it's going to take years to bring up the level of tooling and at the end you wind up in a closed loop on someone elses platform.

FWIW; I dream of electric sheep so I'm completely biased. I run an IRC network if anyone is interested in joining.

I got what this is, my point is, that it is not what they advertised. Maybe I should have made this more clear.

I myself would be thankful to be able to install Linux if I had a device like that. Nevertheless some (enterprise) users would maybe like it otherwise and were screwed by Microsoft claiming something is secured, when they in fact knew, that it was not.

A scenario I can think of is when the machine is not owned by the one using it and the owner wants to sandbox the user as much as possible. In this in the view of the owner it really is a backdoor.

I would love to see companies getting punished for things like that. This case does not seem severe, still, what I want is that you are accountable for stuff you say. You cannot have a backdoor - being remote or not remote - if you say that the thing is secure. You knew it was not, you have committed fraud.

Are you confusing “static typing” with “type annotations”? You can write large swathes of statically typed code without a single type annotation, in languages with proper type inference. This is 70's-era technology, mind you.

It's very cool what Nix has managed to accomplish. Unfortunately, after studying it I've started to think the solution is overwrought and might be more trouble than the problem is solves, or as I like to say, "with solutions like that who needs problems?"

I think it boils down to these points from the summary:

> Thus the same package can coexist on the system with multiple configurations.

That we have to worry about multiple static compilations of a package hits a deeper problem that Nix can't fix. Namely that there really shouldn't be any need for static install configurations. So the only static differentiation that should be necessary is version.

> The derivation is a string in key-value format which will ultimately be hashed and which can refer to objects in the Nix store

So why create a whole new "expression" language just to generate these? Developers work with key-value formats all the time (e.g. YAML, JSON). The whole functional language thing seems almost like a slight of hand when you realize this is the end result.
Seeing as this bypass requires admin rights to execute in the first place, a sandboxed user should by all accounts remain sandboxed anyway.

But fair enough point about different use cases.
> Haskell, Rust? Those are statically typed languages, too.

Developers on those languages usually don't push for crap like the Java developers do

And I don't want to use Rust or Haskell where Python can solve the problem just fine. Overhead and development time is also a problem

Type hints add development time and bureaucracy. The 80 columns limit was supposed to be a guidance as well but now it has become almost mandatory

In general, there are 2 ways to classify something as a language instead of a dialect:

1. A language is a dialect with an army and a navy [0]

2. Easier test is mutual intelligibility – dialects of one language are mutually intelligible – US English speakers chat and understand with the Brits (even when they can hear the extra ‘u’s in colour). Neither US English nor UK English speakers understand or can produce intelligible German.

I have one piece of advice for you. Start looking for higher paying opportunities and when you get a nice offer that you are happy with hand in your notice and move on.

Don't hold out for a big raise at your current workplace, it never works like that.

For structurally typed languages you really want something like C++'s concepts so you can talk about `Iterable[str]` rather than forcing it to `List[str]`. Is this possible with Python's type annotations?

Want the sad truth? You have to leave.

I was in this exact position once. Fun team, fun tech, lots of freedom to experiment and prototype new stuff just in case it became useful. Supportive management and sane working conditions. $37k/year.

Leaving that place was one of the toughest decisions of my young life. I had managed to secure the biggest percentage raise they were willing to give, at the end of a long negotiation explaining the state on the ground as it was in 1998 (when much like today developers were very much in demand and could essentially name their price), but that only got me up to the mid $40s.

So I took the leap. Responded to one of the mails in my inbox and took a job for another shop in town for twice the money. Folks at the old place were stunned and saddened. I wasn't sure it was the right thing to do.

But it was. Absolutely.

15 years later, I was on an even more fun team, with cool tech, respect, and all that stuff from above, but for 10X the takehome pay of that "Dream Job" from the 90s. To put it mildly, that's not where I would have been career-wise had I stayed put.

You have a whole life ahead. Even the best thing to ever happen to you will be something you look back at as a local maxima. It's not worth leaving millions (and I do mean actual real millions) of dollars on the table just to stay someplace fun.

Float your resume today. Future you will thank you for it.

This is quite common, indeed. But the only solution is to build grassroots cooperatives that do not work for money.

Historically, racism and slavery by the European nations started as a means of doing more business exploiting people who were precisely considered not to be people back then (notably by the Catholic church).

These intersections between racism and capitalism (and many more oppression schemes) are now well-studied, but they still exist.

In France, where nazism is slowly winning the battle on the political spectrum (with the fascist party gaining votes and the socialist ruling party adopting an incredibly authoritarian and nationalist stance), there's a resurgence of both racist and capitalist feelings :

- veiled women can be insulted on the streets, cops beat up refugees and rroma kids, many youths feel like the Jews are responsible for capitalism

- "working more for earning more", "you get what you deserve", the recent exploitative labour-law reforms

And this is not just about France, look at what's happening in the US, in the UK, in Germany, Spain, Mexico, Turkey, Japan

Everywhere, the bigots and the exploiters are allying to stop any alternative to this fucked up society.

Now is the time to stop doing business, and attack capitalism and racism FRONTALLY.
Americans will understand Singaporeans because English is the main language in both countries. Singlish is a separate language, and the article describes it somehow accurately.

I found this video of a woman reciting the opening to Genesis in Tok Pisin, and it struck me as really interesting.

Islam is unrelated to the emotional and intellectual deficits imposed upon victims of poverty and disenfranchisement -- not only that but I think there's a strong argument in that a task performed five times daily repeated ad infinitum doesn't cause cultural impairment, nor does the age of a given mandate.

Furthermore, I think maximizing for "human potential" is a red herring -- the inevitable end-result is exercising control over a given population to exploit their human potential and TBH that sounds revolting. We should be given the freedom to live our lives out regardless of someone else's small and personal ambitions, including dedicating our lives to practicing Islam.
