Linux is indeed much less fiddly than it used to be. It's improved massively since my first use, which was Yellow Dog (red hat for macs) back around 2002 or so.

One area that still needs work, though, is consistency. I can understand why this wouldn't be an issue for some, but it when running Linux it feels like I almost spend as much time getting the UI, little behaviors, etc to match up and be consistent between applications/DE/etc. Quite often you can't get 100% of your desired behavior.
It would be neat if you could filter by location/remote work.
The governor appointed an emergency manager to manage Flint's affairs. He decided to move to Flint river water to save money. But the Flint water department was woefully inadequate to handle the change and state interpreted EPA rules to allow them to not add chemicals to the water.

Coincidentally the state is currently building a water pipeline from Lake Huron for Flint that the new mayor announced that she will not use. The mayor wants to stay on Detroit water and the state may sue Flint to get them to change. Note I am in East Lansing an hour west of Flint.

Yep, it is scary that many people don't know that US manufacturing is at all time highs.
I agree, same sentiment from W. Edwards Deming: "A company could put a top man at every position and be swallowed by a competitor with people only half as good, but who are working together."

Moneyball and Six Thinking Hats are excellent approaches to for people and roles.

But they aren't enough. The key driver of top-tier teams is excellent ongoing safe communication.

To build communications, use team goals (e.g. OKRs & KPIs), team ways of working (e.g. TEAM FOCUS), and team positions (e.g. scorecards).

My notes about these are open source: https://joelparkerhenderson.github.io/

Edit to explain abbreviations:

* OKRs = Objectives & Key Results

* KPIs = Key Performance Indicators

* TEAM = Talk, Evaluate, Assist, Motivate

* FOCUS = Frame, Organize, Collect, Understand, Synthesize

>> People get so caught up in brand loyalty that they're willing to defend "their" company like it's a family member.

Long ago I read something about that. The psych came down to the (false) idea that changing brand would confirm that you were wrong. The example was that even if Ford made better cars back in the day so you're a diehard Ford owner, if they quality demonstrably falls behind and Chevy is demonstrably awesome today you still won't change! And that's a case where your prior decision was actually right. So people have these weird internal notions that 1) companies value doesn't change over time, 2) their value doesn't change in light of new evidence, and 3) My own value is somehow tied to making a "correct" decision in spite of cognitive errors #1 and #2.

People are stubborn, and that's being kind about it.
These topics are orthogonal. You can hire the best and build teams at the same time.
Manufacturing is so broadly defined at the Fed level it isn't really useful in this context. Electronics manufacturing left, furniture manufacturing left, etc.. What didn't leave is the fossil fuel industry, So oil refining, and fracking related businesses helps keep manufacturing output high in dollar terms. But manufacturing as people casually think of it (factories making a product: phones, cars, computers, solar panels) really has left.

Is the problem that you want formulas to make sense on their own without the surrounding text? That's not how math is meant to be read. Formulas are reserved for only a few thoughts that are best expressed in that concise notation. The bulk of most mathematical writings is text.

Been a lurker on HN for almost 6 years, but just had the idea to post here for an internship. I'm a Manufacturing Engineering student in California, looking for something over the summer geared towards process or quality engineering.
I did look at the pictures. I've read most of the article. It's well-written. However, all I remember now (3 hours later) is that there are a dozen of different exercises, and they're already fading in my memory. Even though I now know the problem, I don't quite know what I should do, and tomorrow I'll probably forget about it. A single exercise, even if not the best, is still better than nothing, and it's something that I could think about doing right now.

And I'm more health oriented than most people I know.

Maybe they should put TLDR at the top with the absolute minimum we should do.

Apple's "burn rate" is about 33BN a year, which means that 250BN would give them ~5-6 years to find a new market in the event of a nuclear holocaust if they kept spending the same with ZERO income.

In your case, that burn rate would go down to $5 billion in a year or two. Apple justifies the burn rate because it's making a killing, when that stops...

Lower the corp tax and they'll repatriate the day after.

US exports to China is $116 billion, imports is $485 billion.

Top export categories : aircrafts, electrical & other machinery, soybeans (never thought $11 billion), vehicles (same as soy beans $11 billion).

I think, improving exports is the best way to create jobs in US.

>Housing costs are directly related to the cost of land, which is much higher in dense urban areas.

If you build up, the cost of land gets distributed over many more people. Instead the cost per unit approaches the cost of construction cost of building one more story. You don't even need super high rises to vastly increase the available housing. Even a small increase in housing would drive rent down a lot.
I'm not familiar with the author. Can you elaborate on the credibility issues?
I took discrete math last semester and part of the course focused on binary relations and their properties (reflexive, symmetric, transitive...etc). I saw students memorize the mathematical definitions for all properties and yet be unable to actually apply them to a particular relation. I suspect many people ended up ignoring the definitions and coped by developing their own or using intuition. This seems like a sign that math is not being communicated effectively.

"Translating" the math into Python code[1] helped me understand what these definition were saying and identify algorithms for exam time. The downside is that it took a lot of time and may not have been as effective as grinding practice questions.

> Many in politics, think-tanks and media sphere seem to be pushing both quite heavily

Can you please provide prominent examples where the same actor is pushing both narratives?
> Programming is geared towards having people who are experts in programming

Programming is getting simpler all the time. Compare modern Python or Ruby to the earliest punch cards. We programmers are going out of way to make it as easy to understand as possible for as many as we can. There are programming languages suitable for children to use while making robots out of Legos.

It is hard to see how variable names vs single character variables creates more friction than it reduces and might even allow domain experts outside of math without higher level math degrees in.

I am curious what other practices are history vs objectively pragmatic requirements. There is much greater pressure on programmers to use time efficiently so we spent a lot of time on pragmatic thinking, and we are nowhere near done. By contrast you sound like many mathematicians and niche experts claiming that you have it solved and know the most efficient way to proceed without even considering an experiment.
> suddently it's possible for them to release i7 notebook CPUs with more then two cores

I'm not sure what you mean by this. My Dell XPS 15 has a i7-6700HQ which is quad core, and it's not like I just bought the thing.
If this was a move to sell more hardware, why wouldn't we make the decision for 2.4 (which is imminent) rather than 2.5, which is based on FreeBSD 12, when 12.0R isn't even scheduled?
That makes sense, but I've never understood "the real world" to be a metaphor for those environments.

I live in a part of a very small town where we get mail delivered via the post office for a neighboring town (both about the same size).

Mail sent to the zipcode for my "town" won't make it to me at all (due to some postmaster dispute going back 40+ years).

This fact in combination with Comcast's habit of auto correcting zip codes to match the town got my internet cancelled once when the paper bills stopped coming and I failed to keep up on calling to find out why and re-correcting their corrections.
If it were true that manufacturing jobs aren't coming back (and it isn't, at least in the short term) it would still be worth it to move the supply chain back to the United States. If the future is automation, then lets do that automation here, get the knock on effects of automation engineering, automation maintenance and the general innovation we see in production-oriented (rather than consumption-oriented) economies and then share the generated wealth via whatever means are politically acceptable. (I favor public works via debt-free money, but I'm willing to listen to anything.)

Selling our kids into debt slavery and a jobless future is not an option. The service (really, the consumption) economy is built on a mountain of unpayable debt. It has to end, but the right is too wedded to free market ideology and corporate donors, while the left is too wedded to international universalism and, strangely, mainstream academic economics.
Looking at you, yes you... .international

To me, the asinine part of these gTLDs is that companies can register their gTLD with sponsorship ($185K from when I last checked) yet they don't need to sell domains to the public. I understand the idea of exclusivity, but this simply shifts the profiteering racket from one set of players (domain squatters) to another (ICANN and big business).

I'm not happy with how they are doing it. I'd rather a business model be required to sell domains at $X/yr to the public (some reasonable rate), along with a yearly sponsorship instead of one-time. That would put the focus on maintaining a business capable of supporting the cost of the gTLD instead of a digital billboard and bragging rights. Maybe if that was in place, we wouldn't have stupid ones like .northwesternmutual

It wasn't always this way though. The early mac pro had case accessibility and ventilation improvements that predated Lian Li and their copycats. Today we have tower cases where the screwdriver and bandaids no longer required equipment to replace something in your computer, but it wasn't always that way.

It seems like the same group that made the new Mac Pro made the top-loading Mac Mini that kids put coins in, destroying the CDROM drive in the process. All form, no function.
