I got my first job because the director of the IT organization had some incentive to show lowered expenses so he routinely laid people off near the end of the year and then desperately hired new ones at the start of the next. Somehow the math worked out for him. This was a long time ago though.

My favorite is "log", named after logbooks. Logbooks have maritime origins, where the ships speed is recorded. Even today, speedometer on ships are in many languages called "a log" since the original method consists of throwing an actual log overboard with a string attached to it. The string would have knots with regular intervals. To determine the speed, you count how many knots pass through your hand in a certain time.
Why President Obama Can't Pardon Edward Snowden: because they're not on the same team.

Snowden sacrificed a cushy job in Hawaii and risked life in prison because he's a hopeless romantic True Believer in the American style philosophy of freedom.
Well that would be a measure of density - more students per square meter or something. I'm not sure why that would be relevant if we're talking about the city as a whole.

Things like this are great to remind ourselves of some of the rationale for the ways things are.

When I worked at a company which used a lot of Fortran, I kept a punch card at my desk. Among other things this made it easier to explain to new people why there was a column limit for code.

Eventually an HR person came around and told me to remove the card because the top management was coming to visit soon. Among other things this made it easier to understand the role of HR in a large company.
I'm in Waterloo at the moment. There are a lot of really good investments being made currently, but you're bang on with your thought that graduates are glad to move anywhere but here. It's hard to get people to come here from Toronto, never mind from somewhere in the USA.

Waterloo is very much a place where no one lives but everyone comes to for either a job or for school. Once either of those two are completed, the person leaves.

With continued investment, things will change. But, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Android is open source, and still (nearly) everybody is locked into Google's version with licensing costs. Google open-sourced nearly everything, while managing to make their "apps" so entrenched that every customer expects them and even a lot of apps don't work without them.

My company has to approve all software on the development network. Getting newish versions of boost is bad enough. But keeping something like tokio or even simd and all its dependencies approved and in sync and then transferring them to the air gapped dev network is just this side of impossible. Is my company an outlier or is this common in bigcorp?
For learners, finishing matters because:

1. The learning you get from going thru whole cycle is valuable for next projects. Even if you release a few turds. Say you release an iOS app as a measure of finish.

For veterans, finishing does not matter because:

1. If you see a piece a piece of turd and not able to say no to it, you will probably be wasting valuable time finishing to save face as the author may suggest.

What is your opinion on mpv vs vlc?
PMs often take 8% (+/- 2%) of the gross rent receipts for their services. In many places, that is about the same amount as the profitability of renting the place out, meaning that if I am financially able to hold the place empty, taking on the risk, time, and aggravation of finding a PM and having them rent it out doesn't leave me meaningfully better off. So, I'd rather leave it empty.
What can a technologist do about climate change? (2015)

TL;DR: better energy production/transportation methods, data-driven tools for finding bottle necks in production systems, information distribution for infrastructure and coordination and energy demand, making better tools to collect, analyze, present, and change minds.

If you plan on using the Linux GUI tools, it will be much less useful to you.

If you install an X server, such as VcXsrv and set the DISPLAY variable (typically export DISPLAY=:0 will suffice), you can just run X11 apps. For instance, here's a screenshot of a Prolog/Tk application running on WSL:

https://danieldk.eu/Posts/2017-01-10-Alpino-Windows/alpino-w...

I have installed Windows on a workstation just to try WSL out and it's quite impressive. Many regular applications just work. I could build Ubuntu packages and upload them to my PPA (I just had to use fakeroot-tcp to replace fakeroot).

Of course, there are also things that don't work for obvious reasons. E.g. because they require facilities deep in the kernel (performance counters/perf) or because they require kernel modules and hardware access (running CUDA programs).
If human nature is to take the path of least resistance, then it really comes down to "Friction vs frictionless." "Distractions," e.g. Twitter, are engineered to be as frictionless as possible -- low effort, quick dopamine fixes. It is on us to engineer meaningful tasks to have as little friction as possible.

Doesn't have to be complicated:

1. Mute notifications
2. Install Chrome "Timewarp" extension
3. Break work down into bite-sized tasks

Some sources of friction are less obvious, and require studying the problem. E.g for me, I found:

1. Perfectionism
2. Fear of not knowing/mental fog (the kind you encounter when learning something new)
3. Fear of futility (that your efforts are in vain)
4. Not knowing where to begin

To be strong sources of friction, so I actively work to reduce them.
PCs have interchangeable components that are built around standards. So if it's easier to write for them in an abstracted way. Vendors control the hardware for their phones. They have no interest in enabling people to remove their Android flavor, with built in crapware. Open source phone OSes will come, but only after we've reduced the smart phone to a commodity and market forces have compelled standardization through economy of scale.
It is a terrible thing that our educational system favors so much individualism, even when most important work(Nobel prices, great products or services) are done in teams.

Just to be clear this sounds intuitive but there's no underlying truth to how good work is done. John Nash and Tesla were crazy and were also at times very solitary thinkers. On the other hand, Edison was hailed as a creative genius but much of his work was done in a team laboratory setting.

I am incredibly glad that the US fosters the individualism it does. You're probably able to make that comment on this message board because of it. That's not to say it doesn't have (major) flaws with people thinking they are the next coming of Alexander because they built a web app and forgetting the role that groups play in building individuals. However, I would absolutely hate to try and force creativity through a force socialization - we need more ways of thinking and doing and not less.

I think even your wording says a lot:

moments I had happened when I created my first company and realized how important joining people of different personalities together is in order to make them prosper.

When someone starts too many projects but finish none, for me is a symptom that he simply can't finish it alone. In my company I have gotten practice on making people finish things.

You are one type of thinker - but even here you are tempted to push that way of working onto others because it's the way to get things done (valid!). On the other hand, some people's productivity will plummet when they are forced to work and hate even the sentiment of joining people of different personalities together is in order to make them prosper - you could see someone hearing that from above resenting it.

>> VP9 uses a retarded amount of CPU compared to h264, so I can't blame Apple for not wanting to implement it.

h264 uses a retarded amount of bandwidth compared to VP9, so I can't blame Google for not wanting to implement it.

Google is still providing a choice here, except for 4K where it costs them twice as much. Apple on the other hand has no excuse for not implementing both. There is also a free low-power hardware implementation of VP9 which Apple (who makes their own SoC) could choose to use but hasn't.
I am so excited for this. I believe Travis showed us a need to support dynamic build configuration through a configuration file which anyone can understand and use. It's awesome to have a platform that can be extended to address some of Travis' shortcomings, such as being able to support multiple build steps. only started looking but really excited what this can do for the industry
It's remarkably hard to tell if a key has changed with a peer in signal. It gives you some small faded text between messages which is easily scrolled off by the other party making a lot of comments.

Once its off your screen, there is no way to tell that you've never authenticated the current key. No mark, not even burred in a menu.

So perhaps I should not surprised to see the authors of the worst public key management security that I've ever actually used defending even worse public key management security.
i.e. if you break the law, you are punished in / by the courts. If the people in the court system break the law, they don't get re-elected.

I don't find that a satisfactory answer. And I don't think that's "holding them responsible". Let's look at what happens in real life:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Connick_Sr.#Prosecutoria...

One judge said Connick's office had in fact committed a pattern of violations, failing to disclose exculpatory blood type evidence, failing to disclose audio tapes of witness testimony, failing to disclose a deathbed confession of evidence destruction by the prosecuting attorney Gerry Deegan, and failing to disclose eyewitness identification of the killer that did not match Thompson,

And what happened to the people who broke the law and put innocent people in jail?

I'll let you guess.

Yes, some animals get stressed out living in zoos. That being said, it is probably the least stressful way that people can appreciate animals in real life. There is some value in bringing people face to face with animals, I think it reconnects us with the basis of our humanity, and leads us to treat animals better overall. Does the moral math work out in the end? I don't know, but it isn't a one sided issue.
I don't think it's fair to compare Lyft with Intel in terms of innovation.

Ride-sharing is not an area that can be monopolized. As soon as companies like Uber and Lyft stop subsidising rides, competitors will spawn up like mushrooms.

Unless Uber/Lyft manage to create fully automated self-driving cars AND find a way to OWN all those cars, they will never have a monopoly.

The people who own the cars will have the freedom to switch to any ride-sharing network they like (or even multiple networks).

Then there will be new kinds of ride-finder apps which will allow people to select between multiple providers/networks - A bit like how Expedia lets you select between multiple airlines.

The Airline business is very competitive and low-margin these days, I think it will be the same for companies like Lyft and Uber.

First, people make these choices voluntarily and are not in servitude.

Secondly, even as science is revealing the horror of the consequences, a lot of these people still choose to do it.

For example when you tell star college football players the NFL has a 40% chance of brain damage, most will still go. It's hard for me to understand, but the fame, fortune, glory, adulation some believe is a fair trade off.

While this is basically true, there is also the difficulty to teach less tech-savvy where it's save to experiment and where not. (And this is where things like "The Line of Death" come into play.)

Anectdotal example: On one hand I sometimes get almost mad when I try to help my parents with computer problems (especially via phone) because they didn't even bothered with randomly trying somewhat problem-related buttons or options.[0] They just get paralyzed (by the fear they could break something) because something happens what isn't routine, even if the solution could be found within minutes even by non tech people.

On the other hand I'm glad about the same behaviour when they call me to ask if some mail or website is legitimate or not. About half of the calls are false positive scam suspicions, but I'm happy looking into them, as long it helps them not getting scammed.

I think there is a large group of people that needs or want to develop on Linux (POSIX API, open source tools). But have difficulty getting their hardware running on Linux, need applications that are not available on Linux (Microsoft Office, Adobe suite), or simply want to run games as well without dual booting.

I think this is a masterstroke by Microsoft, since it will give Windows the best of both worlds. Something that only OS X had so far.

Of course, it's not for everyone. People might be morally opposed to proprietary software or want UNIX all the way down.

"my book, How America Lost Its Secrets: Snowden, the Man and the Theft.".. well that sounds balanced
Not sure if anywhere else are public finances already quite as intertwined-with/invested-in "the cowboy Wall St financial system" if you will, as the American ones. All these current and incoming pensioners.. all the numerous social insurance schemes.. all these bonds that must be sold to same (effectively, behind the schematics) to fund current-day budgets.. remember the formers' contributions have already been "spent" (into "assets") and at collection time the entire scheme will have to remain just as fluidly operational as it was before. These quants and funds etc are not just managing some nobles' / oil sheikhs' / super-rich moneys after all --- perhaps not even primarily, in absolute numbers! This makes any and all regulations and reforms forever a major challenge in "realpolitik" terms.
> which Apple (who makes their own SoC) could choose to use but hasn't.

They don't make their own SoC for their laptop and desktop machines, which is who this primarily affects. 4K on iPhones doesn't matter since they only have 2560x1440 resolution.

> The measurement problem is a solved problem.

I think this is overselling it slightly. Yes, Everettian style interpretations have helped to shed insight into the reality of the quantum state. Yes, decoherence has helped us to understand physical systems and their interactions with the environment. But if the measurement problem was solved there wouldn't continue to be a swathe of literature on the measurement problem by respected quantum theorists. There are some very good reasons for doubting the validity of many world interpretations. We don't have much of a consensus on what's "really" going on, and I don't believe we will for quite some time.
If it's just the kernel and not the userland above it, I doubt it. Apple's open sourcing of XNU and Darwin was never an existential threat to Apple.

The question is how much third-party code there is in the NT kernel. There may even be remainders of the cooperation with IBM tainting the source code (Windows NT did have an OS/2 personality at some point).
