Haha, I meant that to be a sarcasm but I guess I wasn't clear enough. No it's great that one of you decided to spend more time with kids. Kids grow up fast.

> then you'll really wish that you had a REPL

Yes. I write roughly equal amounts of C (microcontroller firmware) and Python (overall system control, running on embedded Linux).

I absolutely wish I had a REPL for C. When implementing with a new library in Python, I'll usually use iPython to explore it, and if I need to run a decent amount of data through, I'll use a Jupyter notebook. I'd put the difficulty of grokking a C library somewhere between 10x and 100x harder.
> If you have worked on any sizeable JS code base, you have probably dealt with some of JS’s language quirks such as function context (this), hoisting, prototype inheritance, number array sorting, and the list goes on….

>That being said, it's a difficult profession. Not a lot of people want to do it. Even fewer in such specialised positions as surgery, where mistakes literally cost people lives. There's no rolling back to a previous release or taking a break. Everything that happens, happen on that table with that body open.

I recommend reading "When Breath Becomes Air". The author's friend (a general surgeon) has a patient die on the table. He goes into great emotional distress, eventually committing suicide.

Brilliant, good hearted people being pushed to self destruction. Not the way an industry should want to behave.
What's flaggable about it? (The fact that it makes you feel weird isn't a reason, by the way.)
Yes, it's totally technically possible. I think that Minecraft has cross-platform networking, e.g. between PC and PS4.

For games like Overwatch, the reason for segregation is that PC players using a mouse and keyboard have a competitive advantage over players using console controllers. So they shouldn't be in the same player pool.
Just because it's the workplace doesn't mean you can't have sex there. Every company's culture is different. Choose accordingly!

This does not mean harassment is okay. It is never okay.

Progress is that these things now make news. Because that's what's hopefully going to change the world. First there's publicity, then there's awareness, then there's change.
The other book [1] is even better. Unfortunately, there is no free lunch. Knowing when it's ok to cut corners is more important than how to cut corners, and there does not seem to be an easy way to learn that.

I definitely know the difference between a browser and a browser engine; I worked on both WebKit and Servo. There's much more to a browser engine than rendering alone, and rendering isn't even the most complicated part of a browser engine. Outside of rendering and JS there's a steady stream of new DOM APIs, and that's the part that is similar to the "agile user-story kanban".
One shouldn't must have sex in office. So simple no ?

If you are reserve a room for sex, you(boss) are simply saying to all your employees that they can do whatever they wants in office and imho is not good for culture neither.

In your office there is a room for sex ?
If your office has a place to sleep, your company is probably taking advantage of you. If it's renting strippers, it's probably a pretty misogynist culture, as well.

Sounds like an exhausting and terrible place to work, frankly.
Fptools: functional programming library for Tcl
It has often been banned by console makers (currently it is allowed at least for XBox and PS4), but it is of course possible, and games supporting it exist.

For some genres it is easier than for others (e.g. shooters play quite differently with mouse and keyboard compared to controllers, and most of the time one side is going to be unhappy)
I think the credentialing in medical practice has more to do with the stakes involved than in some salary-padding or labor-control scheme. Patients want to be able to enter a hospital and have confidence that, when push comes to shove, even the worst MD on call is a better option than a "no-op" treatment.

Also, exorbinant salaries and good hours are not to be found in the hospital system. Yes, specialist doctors get paid "well", but not exorbinantly, when adjusted for required training, education, experience, and opportunity cost. In private practice, the hours are better, yes -- but only in certain subspecialties. But this is like saying major airline commercial pilots should just fly private charters for a better lifestyle, or that software engineers should just work at hedge funds as quants for better compensation.

It's the hospital system, not private practice, that shows us a healthcare system where doctors are being put to their unique purpose of advanced clinical treatment. And that's where the market is failing.

Healthcare requires the hospital system to provide the most advanced and emergent forms of care, and that is where doctors are overworked and undervalued.

As for the free market, I wish you were right that it could fix the US healthcare system. But patient health is, unfortunately, not valued correctly by the market. The market rewards chronic treatment, whereas society prefers one-time cures. The market tries to monetize patient-doctor interactions, whereas society would prefer fewer doctor visits with fewer hospitalizations. The market treats doctors as a cost center whose hours needs to be billed out at a profit, and society would prefer doctors as a value center who are given the professional leeway to use clinical judgment in assigning time to cases and patients.

I love market systems, but only when they work.

yep, google had a better indexing of the net and also had exact string search. Altavista only had exact string search (which was better than yahoo). Since then, google no longer reliably gives you exact string searches.
Yes, deep neural nets are better at many AI/cognitive tasks, as they learn to recognize (and perhaps only memorize) patterns in the data at multiple levels of function composition -- that is, at multiple levels of abstraction.

That last bit about "multiple levels" is key. Shallow models like kNN, SVMs, Gaussian Processes, etc. don't do that; they learn to recognize/memorize patterns at only one level.

Consent is not an issue here. Two adults can consent to have sex in the workplace and, as a result, cause a third coworker psychological harm.

In other words, two consenting adults can create a toxic work environment, which is why sex in the office is pretty much verboten.
> Once the inividual has been trained, industry will trip over themselves to hire or poach them.

Why not simply create employment contracts that bind the respective apprentice/employee to the company, say, for 5 or 7 years (or whatever) if they fear that the employee will be poached?
And that's okay. One size does not fit all.
There is an idea that the dominant form of production in our age is done in a manner that causes alienation on a number of fronts for those who do the producing.

Part of this is commodity fetishism, where people can see commodities, but not the social relations surrounding the production of commodities.

This sounds like the taking of this to the next level - where the social aspect of exchanging currencies for commodities becomes more and more hidden. You press some buttons on a website, and two days later a box shows up in an Amazon locker or on your front porch. Not only is the social aspect of the production of the commodity hidden, the social aspect of the exchange of currency for that commodity is now hidden as well.
I'm genuinely interested in knowing the answer to this question: What makes someone stay in a job after they've been asked to clean up a room where they found underwear and opened condom packets? Especially if the top honcho was allegedly engaged in such behavior. There is no chance the situation is going to get better no matter who you complained to. get out now!
I would say hiring strippers and escorts for office parties is not "perfectly normal". I don't think that there would really need to be any other representation for that to be viewed negatively.

To clarify the comment re: Bill Gates biggest regret, his biggest regret according to the referenced article was that Microsoft never shipped WinFS. He did not regret the product itself. It was unclear to me what the parent meant, as my first question was, "If he regretted it, did he allude to reasons why it's a bad idea?" But that question no longer makes sense when you realize that the Mr Gates ostensibly still believes in the idea.
I am unable to understand what is misogynist about renting strippers. Strippers are professionals like many of us here and also get paid hourly like some of us for their skills.
As someone who has used both, Jira is lightyears ahead of Epic, which still requires a Windows TS session to run properly, and for many administrative or complex operations still requires you to drop into the MUMPS backend environment, which is >50 years old and predates Fortran.
Yes, but I think the trickiness is combining this with the combination of revocable and irrevocable trusts that "protects" the assets from Medicare. Although it's possible that in the case I'm aware of, it's NY state and city rules that required the additional layers. My main point is that the current system is designed so that it can be gamed by those with the money to pay the lawyers, and the lawyers have enough influence to keep the system broken such that they continue to benefit.

Despite this, do read "House of God" --- it's a terrifying and eye-opening book!

How so? No one really has any idea how, say, NNs trained on machine vision are working. Hand designed programs to do machine vision don't even get a tenth of the accuracy of NNs. That's just one domain. And one that has been very well studied by humans for decades with little progress.

> It's so easy to forget that any time money changes hands without extortion involved that's capitalism at it's finest.

I thought that the existence of an individual or group of individuals who hold material wealth and can invest it (those who hold capital, or capitalists) instead of selling labor was capitalism at its core, and maybe therefore at its finest - is that not your take on it?
I think the BeOS had a file system that was set up like a database that could be queried.
You and the grandparent are correct. That's why you have the DEA doing "emergency scheduling" of various analogues of controlled substances. Otherwise, they have no legal recourse to stop the sale of the chemical.

That said, if you start claiming your "chemical" has health benefits, then the FDA will get all over you for making unproven health claims.

The one exception is the supplement market in the US. If you can trace the chemical back to a natural source, then you are allowed to sell it, and I believe make claims based on what data is available, but you still can't make unproven claims.

It's a jungle of regulations out there.
This is a problem in medical school as well. I can't tell you how many anonymous posts have been popping up on r/medicalschool lately about being depressed, isolated, lonely, and/or suicidal.

Missouri just passed the first bill of its kind to try and combat mental health issues in med school.

http://krcgtv.com/news/local/medical-student-suicide-prompts...

> The bill, also known as the Show-Me Compassionate Medical Education Act would establish a committee to study mental illness, suicide and depression in the state's six medical schools. The bill would also prohibit any medical school from restricting a study on the mental health of its students.

The absolute disturbing part is right here:

> While lawmakers debated the legislation, Frederick said the deans from each of the state's medical schools sent him a joint letter expressing opposition to his proposed law.

In other recent news, Saint Louis University fired their med school dean that was the absolute champion of promoting the mental health of SLU's students.

http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/slus-medical-school-remo...

Furthermore, as part of the licensing process, you are asked whether you were diagnosed with a mental illness in the past. There will likely be an investigation if you say yes and it could impact your career.

This stigmatizes mental illness within the profession and keeps people from seeking help when they need it.

That also stuck out to me, and the reference to "screens" felt too mechanistic. But it made me think about improvised vs planned interactions... lots of people dislike that moment when you don't know what someone is going to say or do when you'll have to react. Salespeople often manipulate us in that moment. Screens don't matter, people aren't crying out for more video interactions. It's the structure and predictability of automated firms that is appealing.

No, the kind of blinded, ranked preference test you described is a subjective, quantitative measurement (the measure is ordinal rather than interval or ratio, but an ordinal measure is still quantitative if less powerful than other classes of quantitative measures.)

I also don't depend on my blog for food. But I do care and if this were a customer project or something commercial you'd be dead in the water.

The purpose of reducing human interaction when providing services is to reduce the cost of those services. Looks like nearly all of the examples cited involve one human providing paid services to another. In the name of productivity, the human providing the service is put in play because they are expensive.

It would be more telling to look at social behaviors that don't involve transactions. Family reunions, nights out with the gals, little league games, religious ceremonies, ... Is there a technological force reducing human interactions there? Distracted by the smartphone, perhaps?

And one could argue that technology enables in-person human interraction as well: Flashmobs, Meetups, etc.

"How do you make a living without a job – can you receive income without working for it? Is it possible, to begin with and then, the hard part, is it ethical?"

What about retirement? social security? disability? You might not be "making a living", but you are getting an income without working for it. Same for investing money. Really "working for it" is a loaded term in and of itself. You might be "working for it" by taking risk, or putting in labor. The author obviously doesn't think any investor is "working for it" by the the tone of the article, but this is precisely what retired america is doing?

"If you were raised to believe that work is the index of your value to society – as most of us were – would it feel like cheating to get something for nothing?"

I don't think this is the right question at all. People take for granted whatever they have, and likely may feel it's cheating, until they start taking it for granted.

I think the more interesting question is, if you could live even if society didn't value what you were doing, and you could do anything (even nothing) and still be provided with everything you need to survive - what would happen to individuals and what would happen to society?

People by nature I think are very externally motivated (society, wealth, materialism), and if you didn't make people go to work, would they? If they did, would they still put up with the crappy parts of it?

I think what defines a satisfied life is doing things that matter to you, make yourself work, try hard, think, make yourself smile a few years down the road (after you've forgotten the hard parts). But even when you have all the opportunity in the world, some people just procrastinate or fall off the wagon somewhere...
