The folks who have argued that point with me over the years all happened to be strong E. I'm talking perhaps 3-4 people over 20 years - not a huge number to go on, but it was the only consistent I saw (male/female/old/young/etc).

Me: "Wow, I took this a few years ago and was a moderate F, but now I'm a slight T".

Them: "That's just not possible. It doesn't work that way. You just don't remember what you had before. It doesn't change".

Me: "WTF??"
I've never been interested in Myers-Briggs. I have no idea what the designations are or what they mean. I have no idea what my score (?) is, and I'm profoundly uninterested.

My uninterest only increased when I was in an environment where this was a frequent point of reference among co-workers, as I watched people with no education and training in psychology or other relevant fields make pronouncements and direct people's work lives based on four letters.

As far as I can see (and obviously, I don't know a lot about MB), it's words pulled out of legitimate fields of study and used ignorantly and out of context, sometimes with real consequences.
>Sleep absolutely definitely will never work, unless you muck around in the kernel for a bit. Then it works but your wifi cuts off when you're playing music.

Straight up FUD. This isn't the experience at all. Linux had these issues in the mid 2000s, that hasn't been my experience in years.

I agree with the "inconsistency" but I see the same "inconsistency" when I open matplotlib windows (wxgtk I suppose) and they look different, only closing the window fails randomly on OS X and leaves Python interpreter running while I've yet to experience that on Linux.

Then, I'd try to kill the non-responding app, and kill works on Linux, but on macOS, it is inconsistent. And that wasn't ten years ago, that was may be two or three days ago.
TypeScript was released October 1, 2012. Flow was released November 18, 2014

Did Flow take 2 years to get implemented? I didn't think the initial release looked like a project that had 2 years of dev time on it.

I don't agree with any of your statements, and I think they are inaccurate.

jspm aims to be type-agnostic with respect to modules (supports all major types, hence why it is called a universal module loader). jspm certainly doesn't advocate rewriting your modules (you can use exports, AMD, ES6, whatever). In fact, when the browsers natively support module loading, systemJS will go away (which is really just a polyfill for this functionality).

jspm also has npm compatibility.
I mean no offense, but:

a) You are in Dublin, and not New York.

b) I'm curious as to your qualifications for "the best". While age isn't a determinant, you're only 17/18 years old, still in highschool, and list yourself as working since the age of 13. Founding companies at 15 (whose domain names are parked or empty), and your 'awards' are the equivalent of regional science fairs.

Are you sure you want to be so enthusiastic?
I'm oversimplifying, yes.

Several instances I've seen of MBTI didn't offer X, but that's definitely an improvement. The one I got for high school career services actually crashed if you 'tied', because that hadn't been accounted for at all.

Without the X band, "normal distribution" is enough to say things are broken. It means that you're consistently dividing similar people while grouping dissimilar people, which isn't what I like in a cluster.

With the X band, SD becomes important and a wide distribution might provide good results. Anecdotally, this could match the high attention given to E/I versus F/T - high SD axes would be relevant to more people.

Having said that, I'm still skeptical of much of the MBTI literature. It definitely deals in bimodal distributions, asserting that these clusterings are features of the territory rather than the map. If the peak frequency is a value the test can't inform about, I think that still invalidates much of the literature even if the test has some predictive power.

I feel you. The laws in many parts of the US and in some other countries should really change.

I have the same problem, as I often need to inspect large text files resulting from experimental measurements or fluid dynamics simulations.
This is the issue I am mostly worried about. Not having documentation is risky, as it causes your team to depend on human-resources instead.

That's nonsense. Even if Apple was trying to trick him (which they definitely were not), his blog post didn't have to admit any wrongdoing. Nothing he needed to say in there would have been admitting to fraud. It merely would have admitted that his account was linked to one with fraud (which nobody is disputing) and that he's working with Apple to unlink it and restore his account.

"Dogs will do something just because they know you want them to do it and you are above them in the pack. They are also more likely to be food motivated."

Dr. John Pilley, who trained his dog Chaser to learn over 1000 words and even syntax (like the difference between "To ball take Frisbee" and "To Frisbee take ball")[1], said Chaser is best motivated by play.

"My last words to the class were to remind them that play was Chaser’s reward. I told them that they should always reward their dogs for good behavior by playing with them and petting and praising them. We all learn better and faster when learning is fun."[2]

> But that would increase the cost of goods a fair amount due to the added transportation costs, so it's not popular.

Yeah, I've never understood that policy logic. The price has to be paid somehow. Why not do it in a way that shows up in the price of goods, to the extent that they are responsible for the cost, so that people (like in any other sane market) have an incentive to cut back on those goods?

It's kind of confused to oppose a tax restructuring that penalizes road impact "because it increases the cost of goods". Goods that require more resources should show up as more expensive! That's how economization works! You're not saving anything by distributing the cost to everyone!

I can certainly understand why the beneficiaries of a subsidy don't like losing it, but that should fall in the category of "aww, but we invested so much in infra to dig holes and re-fill them". Sure, maybe subsidize the retooling so it's not a big shock, but ffs, don't keep the policy!
Typically a mix of reasons:

- Needing to interact with an existing codebase, and an existing developer base. If everyone knows and uses Python and only a few use Julia, it is too early to put Julia in production. If there are proprietary libraries, now may not be the best time to commit to porting them to Julia.

- Language and ecosystem stability. I started something on 0.4, and with 0.5 there were a raft of deprecations. If the code will live several years, that's a support commitment with unclear value.

- Library maturity. If I need to build a web app, read an Excel, read a CSV with dates quickly, consume a SOAP endpoint, etc etc in Python -- no problem. With Julia I will mostly be fine, but am likely to run into some cases that are not yet 100% there.

- Most code does not need the extra performance, so once you have a fast prototype as a performance target it is often not that hard to hit similar performance with Python + numba/Cython.

Note for that last point: there is a lot of value to not worrying about this in the exploratory stage, and getting a performance target (for later optimization) as a nice byproduct.

Not at all. Apple released a PR statement about what led up to the termination. And nothing they said in there was incorrect, and nothing they said in there would have contradicted his blog post. The PR statement explained that the fraud was detected across 2 linked accounts and from the way it was written it was obvious that Apple was treating both accounts as being a single developer. The blog post would have explained that his account was linked to another one with fraud, and that he's working with Apple to unlink it. Everybody who reads both posts would understand that his account didn't have any fraud on it directly, but was linked to an account with fraud.
>"Today, women are equal in the mind if most men, and have a large swathes of explicit advantages granted by laws."

Right, which is why fields that are predominantly women, like therapy, nursing, and pornography are so well paid and well treated.

Oh wait, therapy is an extremely mentally and emotionally taxing field where years of unpaid work is the norm, nurses work insane hours to the point that many are addicted to amphetamines and seriously injured by middle age, and the ridiculously transparent OSHA violation that is every piece of hardcore pornography ever made is taken seriously right?

Oh, but I'm glad people like you will set me straight by letting me know that women being pushed into the more social and less technical role of manager is the harbinger of the fempocalypse.

The mean time to promotion is very well documented, as is the slump in promotion around the age of 30 for women regardless of if they have children.
Women are promoted preferentially in large companies with HR departments that enforce affirmative action policies and produce reports detailing compliance with national goals for minority participation.

That leads men to leave such companies and start their own businesses. Small companies are often more agile and innovative and far more likely to make founders and skilled employees rich.

So the programs to promote women (and underrepresented minorities) that are intended to achieve equality just promote even more unfair advantages for men. It's a common pattern: even the best designed policies need to be constantly expanded so that unfair advantages for men can be mitigated.

But no one can say that the proliferation of small innovative companies is bad for society. New innovative ideas make all our lives better, and some of that is owed to big corporate HR departments encouraging more entrepreneurship by limiting promotion opportunities for men.

Does any major desktop system have a working bug-process? Microsoft seems to respond with "reinstall and don't call us again", the various Linux distributions let the ticket wait for a few years, then mass close them with "applies to old version". Apple's "tennis with the Pacific Ocean"-response to tickets has already been widely discusses in this thread.
So......do you understand what they were doing with all those human sacrifices? Because I sure don't. I can make guesses, just as the article does, but I sure don't understand it.
It's not the new resume by a long shot. But it does point to some large flaws resumes have.

Resumes in their current form don't work well as a source of truth about anyone's career. The main issue being that we put summarized/editorialized information in instead of details. It's like discarding the data you used to generate a chart and then updating the chart directly going forward.

You also can't manage the things you put on a resume. You can't easily search, tag, sort, view by company, position etc. You're doing all that in your head and then putting the result on paper.

There should be tools to help with this stuff (I built one [1]) and those tools should put the resume in it's proper place, as an output of some other more comprehensive source of truth.

How to Create a Diff of an Image in Python
I feel that the article is missing something that is very important - the violence of the Spaniards. Did not the Spaniards stamp and erase the culture & religion of the Mexica? If the Mexica culture had been allowed to exist could we not understand them better? I feel the title is a little clickbaity and would wager most civilizations can barely fathom their own past.
Yes, it's reinforced at small scales too. I said usually it's reinforced at most tribally against another group, meaning that this is about the largest scale you can take anger and hatred as a social force. At that point, you're on the edge of war. These kinds of emotions can be very easy to exploit to build a movement, and they scale very quickly, but at some scale, they inevitably sabotage the cause and turn it against itself. Building a movement based on love and empathy does not hit these same limits.
The planet have been different in the past.

Most of this past is incompatible with human civilization, as we know it.

For example, many scientists believe that the Permian extinction happened due to a rapid release of greenhouse gases, and rise in temperatures - by ~6C. 95% of the Earth's species were wiped out in a few years.

These kinds of events aren't trillions of dollars of damages. They are billions of human deaths, as ecosystems collapse, as the tropics and subtropics become uninhabitable.

Unfortunately for us, while CO2 may not cause such a drastic change in temperatures over the next few decades, methane release very well might.

/r/whataretensors is correct that you have to pick your battles. However, if you're asking us then I'm going to assume that the lack of documentation is slowing you down enough that it is in your company's interest for docs to get written. Lack of docs puts timely product delivery at risk.

What are the product-owner's overall goals? You should tie documentation to that. In a healthy organisation, the product-owner's goals will either be already pretty clear or they'll be actively working on making them clear. If they aren't clear to you then do a quick check through emails/minutes/retrospectives to see if you've missed something and ask for a half hour on their calendar to seek clarity. Take the bulk of that time to listen[1] to what their priorities and stressors are. Pay particular attention to where your work fits into that. If your work actually doesn't fit into that then you've got a bit of an organisational incentives problem. Assuming it does, then make your case that documentation in a canonical place (even if it is those same json files and some comments) is not a nice-to-have but a need-to-have for frontend to deliver what the product owner needs.

For all of this, I've assumed that the product owner for the backend and frontend is the same person. If it is two different people, then you might have a conflict of incentives that needs to be fixed: The backend team has little/no incentive to help the frontend team. If that is the case, then you should have a chat with the product owner of the frontend team because that is an organisation-level problem and some incentives will need to get re-aligned.

Why should Apple have immediately reinstated the account? Remember, in all of this, we still have no proof that he doesn't actually control the second account. All we have is his claim that this account belongs to a relative and that he doesn't control it (and even if that's completely true, I think he still bears some responsibility for it since he set up the account and provided the hardware). The fact that Apple was willing to believe him and offer him a way to unlink his account was a gesture of good faith by Apple, nothing more.

It's an unreasonable level of deference to a business process that we now understand can err. And that even if it didn't err in this case, we now know it to be designed to err. It unconditionally resolves an ambiguity into the direction that makes their other work easier, regardless of if the data is less correct. And that even if their contracts of adhesion makes the err legally (or at least bureaucratically) robust, doesn't make it just.
