> But you do realize that the subscription model is exactly the thing that removes the incentive to do that, right?

Can you name a single case where this has happened with subscription software, though? The big named examples in the article (as far as I could stand to read it, at least) are Adobe Creative Cloud and Microsoft Office 365.

Here's the What's New page for Photoshop CC 2017, along with links to the changes in various bugfix releases that have occurred since release:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new.html

You can find the release notes for the past few releases of Photoshop:

They aren't sitting on their laurels. And Office hasn't stagnated, either. If the subscription model removes the incentive to do that, why are they still doing that? You get new features in Office 365 sooner than you do on shrinkwrap Office releases. Adobe products have been subscription only for over four years now. The incentive seems to be in place.
> There are tons of data from the Voyager trips collected 31 years ago that are still unanalyzed, and getting funding to examine them is very, very difficult.

the PIs i dealt with on space missions were usually on to the next piece of hardware they were going to fling into space before they had the data from the last one.

and i think the lab i was at had some voyager (or pioneer?) data laying around that one of the emeritus scientists was talking about getting transferred off of tape so he could finally look at it.

Freshly pressed juice is sold at a pretty high markup and little stands and shops seem to make a hefty margin. They charge like $10 for 12oz. of freshly pressed fruit and veggies. So, there's a ton of upside in selling packets and I can see how they made believers out of early investors.

But wow did they go about it wrong, charging $699 for a machine that does a worse job than your bare hands!? Was there not one investor who did a technical due diligence? I'm so surprised.

I'm fine with an argument based solely on its technical merits. But then you're going to lose out to things like backwards compatibility and the sheer force of momentum - everyone understands these terms.

There are probably hundreds of ill-fitting terms in the tech world that now mean what we mean them to mean (lol). This one receives blowback not because it's technically unsound (which it might be), but because some paint it 'offensive'. That's why everyone seized on this part of your (now edited) argument.

It's totally doable. I type fast and know my LaTeX. Only time I feel like I'm at a significant disadvantage is when new symbols are introduced that I have to look up.

It would be foolish to pay the taxes when they can lobby the public and the government for years until they get their way.
I'd even argue there's no specialty company that would be like "yeah we have a process for that" - a process to restore and recover the data would have to be invented on the spot. Which would be possible, but there's not a big chance of success. Cost... that just depends on whether there's a hobbyist going "I can do it" or a company going "Give us $x monies and we'll try it".
Correlation definitely, causation possibly.

If you flip that around it's more clear: If you don't have excess funding, whether it's a VC funded startup or an internal project at an established company, you don't have the resource to epicly over engineer solutions; ergo it's only the ones with massive funding that do so.

I guess you can use a micro framework, I Use silex. They're much less opionated. It's built with a synfony components so it's very similar (I think it's the same people).
The problem is, this really is different on each task. It's really hard to state any generic rules of thumb. Everyone has their own default parameters and intuitions but I would say most of them are heavily biased to the tasks you have worked with. For example, I work with deep bidirectional LSTMs on acoustic modeling for speech recognition, and I use Adam with a starting learning rate of 0.0005, Newbob learning rate scheduling, pretraining, dropout of 0.1 in addition to L2 regularization, and so on.

It really is the most ridiculous product. Even if it were engineered properly to a reasonable price point the entire product is unnecessary and wasteful. The difference between selling bags of juice vs. bags of mostly juiced pulp that you have to finish yourself is definitely not worth $800 or whatever they were trying to charge. On top of that they added DRM, some goddamn subscription thing, required internet connectivity, and every other annoyance you can get in a modern product.

So debate that then, instead of engaging in sophomoric ad hominem. Why would a less litigious society, a more constrained regulatory regime, and corporate tax rates designed to incentivize capital repatriation not help the economy grow more rapidly?

Not sure how your examples refute my point.

I didn't say that you can't have great landscape photography or that there can't be mediocre photography.

Isn't this the way companies, until fairly recently, have always been started and grown? Basically, come up with an idea/product, reach around to back pocket (or into your purse) and fund it ad-hoc. That, or take out a loan or such.

It seems like this was the way things were always done - until fairly recently. It seems like things changed sometime around the early 1990s. I tend to wonder if this had anything to do with the S&L scandals and such, plus the recession at the time? I think (maybe I'm wrong) that at that time, banks started to push credit more, and making non-mortgage loans more difficult or impossible to get (I recall my dad getting a loan from the bank to buy a car, with the house as collateral - I don't think that's even possible today).

So today, if you want to take this route, you either have to go old-school and fund it with loans from friends and family (more or less), or find some other kind of small-time investors (non-VC), or use savings, or maybe credit cards or mortgage equity. All have upsides and downsides (for the business, owner, and "investors"). But it isn't as easy any longer to go to a local bank to get a loan to start a business (you'll probably just get pushed to get a business line of credit instead).

I'm probably completely wrong about all of this, though - which is why I don't have my own business, on top of a bunch of other reasons!
Microsoft is also interesting for the amount of wealth it created for regular employees via stock...10,000 millionaires in 1986 dollars. [1] I often wonder about how having so many millionaire employees shaped company culture in the late 80's and through the 90's.

Advanced folks will have very specific needs that are hard to meet for any course with a pre-determined curriculum.

Perhaps a better approach would be to hire an expert from a consultancy, negotiate a detailed custom curriculum together and go from there? It would certainly be expensive but perhaps within reach for a small group or for heavily motivated individuals?
I sure hope someone has a plan to at least preserve all this data, if not to look at it. Does anyone know?
Agreed. I really wish people would lighten the fuck up a little bit around here.
Wow, it's mind-boggling that the engineers didn't try something simpler.

My first hunch would be to use rollers, like getting that last bit of toothpaste out; I can't believe that it operated as an actual press.

It really is beautifully designed though. I figure the engineers were either forced to make a 'juice press' for marketing, or took it too literally.
This is completely incorrect and I'm amazed you think any of this is accurate.

Nothing, it's a corporate identity problem. IBM has alot of organizations and many have good people who advocate developer tools and build products. Then you have the dark side with marketing and global services, where promises are never met and costs are beyond. Someone at the top made the decision the choose IBM, right or wrong, technical or not, they chose. I've been on both sides, and yeah 6 years in IBM global services watching the wheels spin. I've had technical decisions yanked from under me because my CTO was convinced by IBM marketing it was wrong after they failed proof of concepts. Companies have too many choices to build tech and as a developer, advocate or whatever you know there is always a better path. Especially without an IBM product.

IBM was always unique, could sell you sfw, hdw, hosting, resources, and finance the whole thing. Some business as leaders never really adapt to change because management is stupid (blockbuster, radio shack, blackberry, etc.). IBM had so many chances to compete with Amazon and they failed. Watson is no more than a deflection in the marketplace that masks the real problems from within.
> To my mind, regulation seems the most straightforward path to this goal.

It's not that complicated to break up too big to fail entities, encourage dynamism and competition in the sector, and just let them use traditional methods of failure (bankruptcy, merger, etc.) going forward.

Heavy regulations, perhaps counter-intuitively, benefit too-big-to-fail banks the most since the overhead of compliance is relatively small compared to small banks and banking startups.
> I think instead there is a category error being made: that CS is an appropriate degree (on its own) to become a software engineer.

Completely agree here. I often find myself wondering why 'Software Engineering' isn't the degree required to be a Software Engineer and further doesn't really exist as a major, whereas 'Mechanical Engineering', 'Electrical Engineering', 'Civil Engineering', 'Chemical Engineering', etc. are the degrees associated with those professional titles. To your point, I don't think it's a simple matter of nomenclature (i.e. that CS and Software Engineering are synonymous). Not a CS major myself, but amongst my friends who did their undergrad in the US I don't think they had any classes that covered requirements gathering, putting together schedules, etc. Any CS majors here have a class/classes that covered those topics?
I'm with you. Even many engineering degrees are more theoretical than people need on the job.

Really, this goes back to the purpose of an undergraduate degree. Some people think they should be job training programs while others think they should teach more fundamental skills / topics so students can learn what they need to know for a job.

In the end, CS is a technical degree about a technical topic. There may be an argument for a less technical CS degree, but CS without mathematical rigor is not CS.
Best of luck to you too! Try taking some community college (CC) courses too. Calc. is not fun or easy, and having a professor to help 'keep you honest' may be very useful in the long term. CCs are very useful for these things, cheap, good schedule for working people, and an attitude of 'here to learn, not to degree'.
Probably not soon because they use a fork of Redis.
This is a post which touches on a subset of "hard" parts while downplaying other hard parts. I agree that a developer with a deep domain knowledge is precious. In fact, I have seen quite a few developers rising up the hierarchy despite being mediocre on technical skills. The code written by them is big ball of mud but they are good at communicating with stakeholders and understand the business well(And also good at drawing boxes) . This does not mean that there is no cost to it. It is just hidden from others. The memory leak issue, the several bugs introduced due to multiple if-elses encoding the business rules, swallowing exceptions or failing to set right properties for client timeouts. These can exist despite the "deep context" and most of the time junior developers are to be blamed for this because the so-called architect is busy all day in meeting with management.

Also the experience may vary. In my admittedly not so long career(less than a decade) I have seen teams where business rules are the major source of complexity while there are other teams which have less business rules (example the databases/data warehouse/build systems team). Admittedly there are less teams of second type in the world so the general perception is that the hardest part is communication and understanding of business context.

Coming to domain knowledge, even the Mainframe and COBOL chaps make a lot of money while smart open-source contributors freelancing don't. Money is not the only way to judge the hardest problem about software development.
>...You risk being awarded just a refund of the ticket, which I'm sure that United would offer anyway. And then you'd be down court fees and perhaps loss of earnings for a day to attend court. It's not worth it for ordinary people.

Court fees for small claims court are minimal. Your original claim was that it cost "tons of money" - I think you will agree that is not true. Your claim that "It's not worth it for ordinary people is just a guess. My guess is that the vast majority of the people who get a seat assignment when they book never consider the possibility it might be taken from them. Most of the time, people are conditioned to not want to cause a scene, but I can bet no one is too happy about it when the other side doesn't fulfill their end of the deal. Having even a small number of people filing cases against the airlines would cost the airlines far more than than they currently pay out (they have to show up at court etc) - it would also likely lead to class action lawsuits, etc. Those low statutory limits on payouts are there to make sure the cost to the airline is minimal.

>...Overbooking lowers ticket prices. Lowering costs to airlines lowers ticket prices.

I didn't say anything was wrong with overbooking. Whether it results in lower ticket prices or leads to more profit for the airline will actually vary, but it is ultimately immaterial - making more productive use of airplanes is good for everybody. The issue is involuntary bumping and treating this as somehow acceptable. If the airlines screw up and have too many passengers for too few seats, it is up to them to solve the problem through voluntary means - the system described in this article is one way to help do that.

In the end, the whole idea of involuntary bumping should probably be viewed as regulatory capture. We don't allow that in other industries.

Personally, I find the USA very far afield. (I'm in the Netherlands).
I bet the mechanical engineers and designers had a field day designing that. When price is no object, it is really fun to make things.

I was in a similarly fated startup. It was super cool to design stuff with no regard to usability or cost, but the gravy train ends at some point, when you realize you've been making something nobody wants.

They got paid a steady paycheck. They produced the product the founder wanted. I wouldn't hold it against the engineers and developers.

We can rag on the guy who engineered the juice pressing bit, but it very much looks like a junior guy right out of school who didn't have an adult in the room telling him that his $800 first effort was beautiful but needed to be redesigned to be under $50 in parts. Everybody needs that experience to understand how stuff works in the real world.
