Remember the keybindings is anoyning when you use several tools, or when you are triying to fix something and now need to look at the help to remember what to do. That is the most infurating thing about vim (ie: How the hell I close this stupid thing!)

Taking a specific example to the next step... If wife places a hamper where dirty clothes have been placed previously, now she is tripping over the hamper instead of the dirty clothes.

In concept, your environmental adjustment makes a lot of sense, and probably works well for many (not all) use cases.

But again, here we are, where the WIFE takes the 'burden' of solving that problem. She has to put a plan together of how to change the environment, that requires time/effort.

Other comments elsewhere on this thread mention that the wife/woman should relax her standards. Not related to the above, but I'd like to just call out, why are we not asking the man/husband to raise his standards!?
No. 0.5% of a huge number is a still a very large number.
$4T in income tax revenue so 0.5% is $20B. That's about the size of NASA. Percentages are horrible at that.

Keep the "death" tax, and here's the thing. Due to death, the assets changed hands. That money wasn't yours. It was your parent's money, so this is the first time that you are acknowledging the income. You personally won't get taxed on it again. Same with dividends and other stock related taxes No recognized income from you personally until you get the money. That's when you get taxed, pure and simple.
I dream about the day when the CBO and the Fed lay out all their calculations in a Jupyter Notebook and some means of accessing the raw data used. I can smell the transparency there.

We paid to have a mattress delivered and the old taken away. They showed up at 9pm. They refused to take the mattress up a flight of stairs to our bedroom, they left it in our living room. And they tried to refuse to take the old mattress but I had the work order that specifically said they were taking the old one. When I showed it they said they needed to see my membership card, hoping I couldn't produce it.

My wife was 7 months pregnant and my daughter had a broken wrist, so I had to carry a king size mattress up a flight of stairs by myself so we had somewhere to sleep that night.

My wife raised hell and got the delivery fee refunded but wtf.

Never again.
Hey, you think this is bad - look at enterprise networking gear. Cisco and Juniper try to convince people it's illegal to use "grey market" (resold) equipment because the software license is "non-transferrable", so even if you "own" the hardware you don't have a license for the software attached to it. Of course, this flies in the face of the first-sale doctrine and established case law, but they don't care.

Just wait, somebody is going to try it with consumer devices sooner or later.
What we do is a separate Python process, not in Lambda, that polls status. Status is persisted in Redis. It supports lambdas calling other lambdas so dynamic workflows just work and can live for longer than 300s. This has been working fine so far but would probably have issues at 10k+.
MZ- woman to woman, thank you for representing.
How about some features that really matter for an enterprise... compare the differences of HA options between PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Or maybe something a little more simple like point in time recovery. Backup and recovery is probably the most important feature of an enterprise RDBMS, and I'm sorry, but PostgreSQL doesn't cut it. It's really fun to develop on, but it's an absolute nightmare to administer. That makes it a liability.

Spaghetti code and cumbersome integration methods are just forms of tech debt. Tech debt in any form isn't inherently good or bad. Just like financial debt it's a tool that can be used to achieve a desired business goal. When misused it often harms the company but won't be fully realized for several months or years.

Things taking a week when they could take 30m is your company paying interest on that debt. To determine if taking on that debt was a good idea you need a lot more context. e.g. the Cobol mainframes that run the financial system are difficult and expensive to maintain, but it's still cheaper than the alternative: rewriting those systems.

Most startups take on massive amounts of tech debt because it helps them move faster and the company not failing is way more important. Once a company is out of startup mode it should balance goals a bit more thoughtfully.

I also ride a motorcycle. Just got a new sportster and love it. I'll agree that it is wonderful not ever having to adjust a damn radio, roll windows up or worry about broken AC. It's great for all the reasons you described.

I also agree with your point that there __should__ be a market for a no-frills car of the same design philosophy.

However, I would NEVER recommend that someone get a motorcycle. You and I both know the risks. Literally every time we roll out we can be killed or maimed brutally. I think it's actually pretty irresponsible to recommend them to other people.

Was TLS 1.1 ever "phased in"? It was the "most recent" TLS version for only a couple of years, so the early adopters went quickly to TLS 1.2, while the late adopters stayed at TLS 1.0 (or even "TLS 1.0 but disabled by default, therefore actually SSL 3.0"). Once the later adopters catch up, there's no reason for them to not jump directly to TLS 1.2.

Dirty clothes on the floor? What is this, your college dorm!? It is an unlikely option that the man/husband could also raise his standards.
That is what Home Depot did when my mom bought a kitchen from them. The kitchen designer managed the contractor through the whole process. It wasn't perfect but when problems arose she sorted it quickly.
The interesting thing is that in languages with more explicit gender marking than English, and with no less claim to feminism than the US, this does not seem to be an issue. For example, in French, to use your example, if there were 50 female students and one male student in the class you would still refer to them using the male plural pronoun (http://www.cafebabel.co.uk/society/article/sexist-grammar-th...).

The next episode [1], aired two days later, contains the conclusion of the story, and he gets out of the tunnel. I do agree that 2 days is rather long to leave kids with the conclusion of that first episode though.

The final lines are: "Henry doesn't mind the rain now. He knows that the best way to keep his paint nice is not to run into tunnels, but to ask his driver to rub him down when the day's work is over."

It might be a bit authoritarian, but it can also just be interpreted as "don't run away from your problems, instead, ask for help and you will be helped", which is not such a bad lesson and much better than the usual version, which is just "don't run away from your problems".

Swift wants to be much more than just iOS specific language so it is fair to compare its pros and cons with other general purpose languages. If you look at iOS only then there is not much to compare to, just ObjC and few JS abominations. Staying iOS specific is not what Swift wants to be.

Sure it's fake. Our economic models are so out of touch with reality, it's a wonder the system works at all. We treat digital goods the same as physical goods, we spend tons of money to prop up giant failing structures instead of letting them fall apart, we let those that make the most walk away without paying their fair share, we subsidize stuff that nobody wants and is harmful to us, and aren't even close to making anyone pay for externalities accurately.

I feel like we're headed into a really deep economic downturn, but hey, at least we have plenty of golden parachutes for the rich!

Apple has stated there is no such switch in older phones and newer phones do not possess those chips.

That's the Chartalist (and MMT view, I think). Friedman did make a strong case for the central bank's role like you describe to end recessions, but he was also sensitive to the fact that money was not identical to productive capacity, ie that which would produce capital gains. The concern as I understand it is that unless you did something radical like literally gave the cash to people directly, there is still the liquidity trap with the central bank's levers.
Well, sure, if you define "value of engineering" to be more than "value of X" you can say engineering is more valuable. That would be a contentious definition, though.

interestingly, a lot of enterprise Saas software is "sold before its built", by which i dont mean its complete vaporware, but its a very common practice to build a shitty first product, sell sell sell, and only after the first 10-20 customers are on board, do these companies start to spend more on engineering etc. Even after that, in order to sustain the machinery of building product, you need to keep selling. I think both are important, but in the technical world we tend to seriously underestimate how important sales it. At the end of the day, you can have the best alogrithms, the most elegant code and the sexiest UI, but if you dont have someone taking it to customers, and bringing their feedback back, all you have is a beautiful product without a business.

This sounds like more of a religious issue than anything. All of the dialects of SQL have pros and cons, but if you stick as close to the ANSI standard as possible, the differences are negligible. If today's developers actually cared about relational theory, and spent the time to do it right, they wouldn't really care much of the difference between T-SQL or any other dialect. Like when developers bring up a platform preference based on JSON data type support... you're doing it wrong to begin with.
As a thought exercise I wonder what would people's advice be if the author was in a same sex relationship and the pair was having disagreements over cleaning and relational priorities. I am guessing most of the advice would be about how to communicate better with your partner. Now that maybe slightly easier with a same sex partner but I think the point is still a valid one. Peal back some of the feminist rhetoric and you have a couple who need to work on their communication skills.
I agree it is hard to draw a line between the two, but there are some decisions that occur outside of the technology inolved that I would consider product development. Twitter increasing the character limit to 280 is a prime example. There is no technological reason why that should or needed to happen. It was motivated purely by the product. Although you could argue the initial 140 limit is closer to the tech side.

I also think that many people, especially in the tech industry, don't understand the scope of functions included in "sales and marketing". It isn't just sales people calling up customers trying to sell enough to reach their quota. It is nearly everything involved in revenue generation of a company.

The higher cost of delivering classes with a lab component is generally solved via lab fees. This seems a much better solution than raising the cost per credit hour.

Also, some STEM-type departments get grants (public and private) at a rate that's much greater than liberal arts departments, and grant recipients have to tithe back a large portion to their parent institution in a way that defrays facilities costs, etc. So there are other sources of income besides student tuition.

If you started treating departments as P&L centers, I don't know that I'd want to be in Anthropology vs. MechE.
I am curious if anyone has gone from employee(engineering) and then to founder and failed and if you were able to seamlessly go back to engineering where you left off career-wise and pay-wise. Is it a concern?
Shipping faster is really just another form of cheaper. It isn't a linear relationship (the whole 9 women working for 1 month thing), but there is no question that dedicating more resources to a problem can help fix it quicker, especially with the frequency that companies are acquired in tech.

I am not sure that Facebook creating Instagram Stories to compete with Snapchat is a definitively better solution than Twitter buying Periscope to compete with Meerkat. Either way, you still need someone to think up those new features, communicate them to the public, and sell them to your customers.

"they have more so its ok for them to lose some" - is a flawed logic. The reasons are "good" because they incentivize behaviour. An investor is willing to put a chunk of his money into the startup because he can expect a good return, why else would he take risk on people? An employee is not inherently risking to "lose" anything by taking a job, they risk not gaining something for a while if the job goes, but that's different from proactively putting skin in the game.
The question is can future students get any loans to finance their studies then (or at what rates/conditions? Good chance they would lose out too.

Thanks for the clarification. The analogy to multiple references (with ≥1 of them allowing for mutation) is an interesting one, though I don't quite understand why having that would imply a need for locking the same mutex multiple times. Will read up on the "access requester" mechanism though.

"...most individual contributors overestimate how much value they actually provide..."

Am reading "Deep Work" right now. In it he touches on this while explaining how hard it is to measure, and how no reliable attempts have turned up by those who try. This applies to C*O level on down, no one is sure how to measure this.

So when you write:

"The same just isn't true of product development, sales and marketing."

I call BS. There is no measure out there that can accurately gauge the specific contributions of an individual or a team within an org, in knowledge-centric work these days.

There are outliers. A team will luck into a bigger than expected sales deal. Or engineering stumble into a way to provide the same performance with less servers.
Denver vs. Detroit: Which city is best for Amazon's headquarters?
> the work generated by those groups is understood by upper management as a key to success

I think you could have left off the "as a key to success" part. Software engineering, as a discipline, is very hard to quantify and hard to understand. Every metric that anyone proposes for measuring the output and quality of work of a developer has largely been shown to be possible to game and not representative of good work. We wax poetically about an extremely productive day in which we got rid of 200 lines of code...no sales person would consider losing a customer to be a success, so you can see how that would sound confusing to a non-engineer. And the interview process is largely lampooned for asking questions that have very little applicability to the actual work being done and, yet, no one can agree on what questions a good candidate should be able to answer. Even engineers can have vastly different stances on what constitutes good work.

There's an old saying, "that which cannot be measured cannot be managed." A sales team can easily be stack ranked and their dollar value to the company measured to the penny. A marketing team can be judged by engagement numbers, inbound leads and other quantifiable results that are easy for an executive to understand. A product team's output is somewhat harder to quantify, but executives usually do take the time to understand their product and customers, so they can relate and have opinions on the work produced by the product team. Meanwhile, the engineers spend they day looking at text in another language, having conversations and arguments about bizarre made-up words like Hadoop, Riak and Mesos. They often have trouble communicating technical concerns to non-technical members of the team, including management. And seemingly simple changes in product direction are met with large time estimates and mutters of "redesigning the schema" or "scalability."

So executives decide to focus on optimizing and rewarding the departments that they can understand and engineering gets seen as a black box assigned to someone somewhat technical who's often only good at spin/messaging and not really a great technical leader. It's pretty undeniable that engineers create value. Even executives realize that. But the marginal value of one engineer over another is extremely difficult to know, even for people in engineering. So it's much easier to just assign them to tiers (SSE, Senior SSE, Staff SSE, Lead SSE, Architect, etc) and then treat them as fungible quantities.

Are phone parts "consumable"? I thought "consumable" meant refers to things that get "used up" like milk, ink, pens, etc., not storage media or LCD screens or the like...
I think there are other options regarding security, such as detection rather than prevention, and I unless all inter-component communication is encrypted then ultimately it still can't guarantee security (or even then, although this is all varying degrees of unlikely, at least at the moment)

Really the crux of this is whether this is best answered by the markets like you say, or by regulation. I see plenty of issues with it being answered by governments, but I have absolutely no faith in the market coming up with a good solution for this, as the players have too much power and the consumers are uneducated. I worry, of course, that governments will stick their oar in but paddle in the opposite direction.
Those are on the higher end of risk (and upside potential). Would only do it if some else foots the bill, eg parents.
Easier than in other fields, yes, but also definitely not so easy that anyone who makes a serious attempt will manage it.
