I sort of agree. But it is also true that there are many industries and groups that are way behind the state of the art in technology. That may be for good reason, or it may be because it hasn't worked for them yet, or may be because it can't work, or because they avoid tech, or...umpteen reasons.

So yes, a CS grad probably wont come along and revolutionise the Supply Chain industry, but mainly because SC has been at the forefront of areas of tech for decades. A CS grad may, however, come along and revolutionise...well just look at all of the recent famous tech companies...communications, travel, social, arts and crafts...whatever. Many areas are ripe for fresh eyes and new approaches.

I do agree that domain knowledge is often massively under-emphasised though.
To be honest, I'd rather go to a loud show with earplugs than a quiet show without. Half the fun of a live show is the visceral punch of the literal sound waves.
I always had a hard time understanding conversations, and thought it was my hearing but multiple audition tests confirmed that my hearing is just fine. I'm guessing it must be some mental inability to process words from the noise, since my hearing is fine. Hence, I don't think the OP necessarily has hearing problems.
Do we really need them?
I'm actually close to launching this kind of product. A bit more complex than Word + Git, but I hope it will be worth it.

One question: is there a use case for live group-editing? Same way live code editors work. I have to admit that I'm not super familiar of the workflows in that industry, so I am mostly just designing features the way I would like them to work.
I'm on my HOA and I imagine the hardest part of making this work would actually be sales. The sales cycle for an HOA would be multiple months between meetings and actually making a decision. Then there's the issue of rotating responsibility, retraining, no guarantees of technical skills among board volunteers.

I'd tend to agree with the other comments that the hired out management companies would be a much better sales target since they have a real profit motive to efficiency gains. At best a neighborhood HOA is looking at periodically saving some time and being a bit better organized.
If only the process of our life wasn't time-bound! There's so much to read that we can't help but look for signals, especially ones in an introduction which is designed explicitly by the author to get people to continue reading the book and which takes as its subject the book as a whole.

It's not a matter of merely "not liking a sentence", it's that the author makes false or misleading claims to bolster his own standing (like the one quoted), fails to display a mastery of the relevant material, and gives enough clues in style and substance about the kind of book this is for me to know, from past experience, that it won't be my personal cup of tea.

What really matters:

I won't be reading this book given what I've seen so far, but I don't intend this as a general criticism.

Writing like this is essentially therapy and different people respond to different treatments. It may well be that for many science-y/CS folk this is just what the doctor ordered! And I have no interest in undermining that! And even if it is, to my sensibility, messy and lacking in the forceful individual style truly soul nourishing books require, it can still be valuable. Lord knows there are many books which I can rationally pick apart every which way or which just mouth one platitude after another, yet which truly moved me and made me a better person and of which I wouldn't change a thing.

Yes but the thing is I see postmodernism as in the mode of construct-aware thinking. That's kind of the entire point, that modernist totalities do not exist and that truth and meaning arise in a historically dependent context relative to the faculties of the investigator. The only way that Mr. Chapman creates solid values out of nothing is through rejecting metaphysics entirely and claiming that he is arguing for the way things actually are, not the way people claim them to be.

Herein lies the problem: everyone who asks these questions thinks they have discovered the way things are and that everybody else is wrong. If this argument is nothing more than a statement of the way the world is, it is not worth reading. Otherwise, it must proposes several "oughts" which modify its meaning past describing what "is," and in my opinion you have then failed to eliminate metaphysics and/or phenomenology.

The book of Revelation fascinated me from childhood into my teenage years. As an adult I have some negative opinions about it since it has inspired so much terrible behavior over the years. It has a very complicated and controversial history[1], and the preacher at my mother's church completely refused to talk about it. I sometimes wonder what the world would be like if it hadn't been included in the cannon (it almost didn't make the cut and still isn't accepted by some churches).

I'm not sure how you "fix" the problem of fake news. most of the people that believe that CNN is "fake news" also believe the fact checking sites are biased too.
I also feel concerts can be painfully loud without earplugs (though I find foam reduces the volume too much, so either we have different preferences or you aren't getting a good seal with the foam).

I have the exact Etymotic attenuating earplugs mentioned a few levels up. They don't reduce the volume as much as foam, but they reduce it enough for me, and the sound balance is much better. I can understand lyrics better with those earplugs than any other configuration I've tried, including no earplugs at all.

They aren't magic and they won't get the volume/balance perfect for you, but for $13 they are pretty great.
I'm pretty sure the author is in fact well versed in various philosophical traditions, but intentionally chooses not to directly engage them (in the course of the main text) because the project is not intended to be a discursive philosophical text but rather a sort of self-help book, for lack of a better term.
Lots of very bad reviews.
Nah, I'm talking about running an algorithm.
RAID 6 will be almost as slow and vulnerable as RAID 5. The best one in terms of speed and data security would be RAID 10 or RAID 100.
That's good advice. I was trying to cut the price down a bit so OP didn't fall out of his chair. Maybe 10TB was an unlucky number plucked out of the air and just two 8TB drives running in a mirror will suffice.

I don't work for or advocate for Google.

I'm just skeptical about such a massive difference that I've never seen written about, and where only commenters report it, with no methodology, process, or repro steps.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with Chrome and anecdotally I don't notice a 3x battery difference with Safari, but I wouldn't make a strong claim about it without some rigor as I mention above.
If I'm following the conversation correctly, it doesn't break anything, the kernel developers don't understand it. Also, the followup from Alex Deucher of the AMD team is interesting: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-Decemb... Basically, he reckons that the atomic modesetting code is a poorly-thought out and maintained disaster that regularly breaks multiple drivers - and having somewhat followed the changelogs, I can entirely believe this. (Dave Airlie responds by blaming AMD for not sufficiently testing the upstream kernel developers' buggy changes to their drivers.)
I have a hard enough time with Facebook algorithms choosing what people see without some sort of dashboard to control it as it is. The first amendment still exists and people have a right to consume any garbage they want.
Do you have something specific in mind, regarding the low-end of the market? Maybe a couple of examples? I'm really interested in understanding what you mean.
It's actually hard to say. You might be very lucky, someone else might be very unlucky. Generally, RAID was 'invented' to operate on cheap, commodity hardware, where the failure rate might be high. When it comes to data, most reliable one you can find (mostly due to its probe size and lack of competitive reports of similar size) are Backblaze's drives reliability reports.
What's hkt?
Could be we don't, most disagreement is miscommunication.

In your example, Scotty knew what he was doing though. He didn't say, wow, what Kirk wants me to do could kill twenty redshirts in the process, I'll just take the gamble since he seems to want me to. He knew exactly the impact, and made it knowing he would easily be able to contain it.

Which is often not the case in Software and in practice. You have to do something to know the impact, because most problem we solve is always new. Its not something we did many times before. If that variable was often changed, then it would be completely different, because he'd known, just like Scotty, that its something they can do. In that case you can make the choice to say, lets change it, and later handle the tech dept of the less maintainable code.

Also, in software, its almost never the case that people can't wait a few more days.

I tremble at the thought of trying to backup 48TB of data. The only reason I'd have a local NAS carry that much data in my home would be as a cache backed by something like Backblaze's B2 storage service.
I've had the same thing happen with toasters, and at least as of a few years ago it was completely possible for a piece of toast (of just the wrong size) to get stuck such that it not only didn't pop up, the toaster didn't turn off. So the toast starts to burn, you grab a knife, what could possibly go wrong?

This happened pretty regularly as it was a European toaster designed for perfectly uniform extruded wonder-"toast" and I kept sticking hand-cut slices from round loaves into it.
There's an iPhone app these days that will test your hearing called Mimi. Not sure how accurate it is. If you have symptoms you may want to confirm with a real doctor.
Another disadvantage is that turning off "web and app activity" prevents useful features of Android Wear from functioning, e.g. setting reminders or receiving commute time notifications.

If it weren't for smartwatches I'd still be using Android with all account activity settings turned off (or "paused"), but instead I am reluctantly using an Apple Watch (and therefore an iPhone, unfortunately) and searching with DDG.

By the way, I'd happily pay for software with the ease of use and functionality of Google's location history browser if I could host it on my own server and keep all that location data to myself.
This is an odd question. Unless someone's a professional photog, they're going to pick an amount of money they feel like spending on a camera and then do that. If that's less than thousands of dollars, they're not going to be getting an "ultra high MP camera".

That isn't actually an alias. That is constructing a single-case discriminated union. DUs are compiled into classes and have a few things automatic equality.

Generally speaking, it's better to use Units of Measure[0] when you want some compile-time semantics around numeric literals, as these don't incur the performance penalty of creating a class.

Definitely agree that this mindset drives a disincentive to help others improve, which is why I think it's so important to solve anxiety issues like "imposter's syndrome" by changing the way in which we derive self-esteem instead of trying to convince ourselves that we are more skillful, or that nobody is noticing we are not skillful.
Gah! Why is anyone even uttering the word "RAID". Ugh. ZFS people. ZFS.
No I think its more like finding everyone with the same gang symbols and running them over.

I know we should say that Japanese Americans and Regular Americans are the same that is true for most circumstances but I think that Japanese Americans have a stronger tie to Japan than a non Japanese American has to the 4 or 5 European countries that their ancestors are from.

I'm not saying the rational for locking up Japanese Americans was good or correct but given the circumstances I understand why it happened and the reasons, in my opinion, were not evil or selfish.

Facebook to Acquire CMU Facial Analysis Spinoff
one thing is missing in the list:
a time machine - the system should capture verbose information about events occuring before the error - all these DEBUG/INFO messages you usually disable in production. Without that you have to change the log level and try to repeat the error condition.
And dont go too far, or you'll end up with a cluster of log aggregation machines just for collecting the logs from one application. Like 'logstash/kibana' behemoth ;)
They're great when they work, and horrible, when they don't. Power failure outside of warranty? Good luck buying a replacement, hunt for broken units to scrap their parts. Same for motherboard and pretty much anything else. Once you give up and have the idea of just getting your data back, you're screwed by their proprietary raid-fs-thingy.

I had one, it died, I went through all of that, decided to never make this mistake again. Got myself a nice FreeNAS box, if anything fails there, I can just pop the drives into any FreeBSD system to recover my data and migrate it to new home.

I can see how you interpret postmodernism that way. I don't disagree with it. But I observe a practical ceiling on most postmodern thought because our postmodern institutions, such as liberal colleges, don't bring people to that construct-aware level. Most people either end up in a pseudo-nihilism or falling back to concrete beliefs.

I'm not defending David's writing as being overly original-most of it is old Buddhist thought. I do, however, think it's important that people today be thinking, writing, and discussing these topics. Many of the worlds problems are related to cognitive development and a lot of us are left floundering when we run into the limits of our institutional education.

Xenophobic racist ranting is pretty much the definition of evil. We can try to explain it away by circumstances, but pretty much one guy spearheaded it all and he was definitely racist and evil.
In some sense, I believe this stems from being afraid of 'not knowing'. Especially in the current SV culture, it's really anathema to say, "I don't know". "Not knowing" something is frowned upon, especially as you get deeper into your career (more senior, etc.) and it is really shameful that we have created this atmosphere for ourselves.

Being unafraid to say, "I don't know" is a really powerful skill. Now, for me, being surrounded by people who know more than I do, is actually a win. Now, "I don't know" turns into "Show me". It's an opportunity to learn and to grow.
The Palantir solution, from what I understand, boils down to "lots of consultants (FDEs) writing glue code".

Everyone may have a word or two to say about every aspect of how society is run; such is democratic politics. But you speak as though the amount of money someone is construed as having is a physical quality intrinsic to them, instead of a social relation we agree to. The idea that taxation is a taking imposed after the fact on an otherwise natural distribution is muddled; it's all just numbers in ledgers, the tokens of a game whose rules are chosen by society in the first place.
I'm not alone! I always assumed I had something like the auditory equivalent of color blindness.

That's disgusting. I feel filthy. I replaced a system in my first client school that also used excel attachments for tracking student data, exams results, attendance, assignments, etc. I could physically feel better once I saw my own implementation replacing email attachment system. Since then email-excel has been a sensitive topic for me.

1) how about you find ways to make retention a continuous objective
2) get used to the fact that not all customers will be retained. I try stuff all the time that I have no idea if it will solve my specific problem. If you do #1 right, I would know that you want to hear about my specific problems and offer ideas on how your saas can solve them. That's the most you can hope for if your service doesn't immediately do what I initially hoped it would (or is more burdensome to implement that I thought, etc)

"First of all, it helps to be ignorant. The time when I did my best work was when I was most ignorant. Knowing too much is a great handicap. Especially if you’ve been teaching for some years, things get so fixed in your mind and it’s impossible to think outside the box."

For me, this is the most important piece in the interview (but what a man! As he himself comments to be so lucid as a 90+ year-old famous scientist is very rare).

A recurrent "if I were a rich man" fantasy of mine is to build a platform where people from very different disciplines would come together and discuss open problems in one discipline, something similar to a TED talk but spending 2-3 weeks on one problem. 99.9% of the ideas generated by the non-experts will be BS, but if the remainder is non-zero, it would be worth it.
