It does way beyond that. The origins of today's symptoms lie in the corporate elite turning the USA into a kind of private equity opportunity starting in roughly the late 60s. Ever since and with ever increasingly compounding effects and impact, the USA's capacity across all aspects has been syphoned off and drained. Worse yet, with the H1B program in the 1990s as a significant milestone or inflection point, we even totally capitulated on the desire to educate and train our own domestic capacity and population as the corporate entities draining the USA and it's people of their resources were more interested in short term gains, regardless of the consequences and long term impact.

With the rise of H1Bs and other less notable laws and policies only compounding the situation, all efforts to educate the "worker of the future" was little more than lip service to placate various anxious parties as the syphoning by the corporate elite continued. Now we are left in a country and world where we have imported foreigners with foreign ideologies, interests, and loyalties, largely infected with various ideologically subversive communist memes (in a literal sense) the Soviets spread as psychological warfare during the cold war without their hosts even knowing it; who are not only taking jobs from actual invested, patriotic Americans who's ancestors built the country, but being given jobs in government through another pernicious systemic vulnerability, affirmative action that prioritizes the creation of a fantastical inverse master race planned society through "diversity", at the expense of merit, skill, and ability.

It's kind of the classical mercenary problem of yesteryear. See the latter stages of the Roman Empire for details.

This is the money quote (no pun intended): "These results highlight the fickle nature of assessing relative performance over short horizons."

How many times have you told a fund manager, "Gee your fund lost 10% last year when the S&P500 was up 8%, how did you manage that?"[1] Only to move all your money into some other fund and have it get worse returns than the one you moved your funds out of? The point the article tries to illustrate is that evaluating a fund's strategy should be separate from evaluating a fund's returns. And if its strategy is sound, then even if it under performs other metrics over a shorter term, it out performs over a longer term.

And yet there aren't really any investors who are willing to 'take it on faith' and stick around for 10 years to see if their strategy is sound.

The most fundamental human rights are to be able to live without suffering what the guys that are in these prisons do to the society. Living without fear of violence, rape, murder, being burglarized, conned, etc. These are human rights.

Merely keeping someone in a cell is a rather gentle treatment compared to how other cultures or other times treat/treated criminals.

Now we can discuss sentence lengths, prison sentencing for certain non violent crimes, etc. But I am sure I am not alone to have no sympathy for the idea that putting criminals in jail is violating their human rights.

> And thanks to competition between capital suppliers (ie you) the successful active managers will raise their fees until they eat all the excess return.

What actually tends to happen in practice is the really successful active managers cease accepting money, because they can effectively print it. All strategies have capacity constraints and managing investors is not so fun. If you can generate positive returns without needing to pool risk, you don't need investors anymore.

If you need everybody to be top 1%, then you have management problem. Whether it is that majority of people get demotivated fast and stop caring or whether it is that there are no modules or tasks that are simpler, it still boils down to management problem.

If you have well defined APIs and modules, then you can actually give one low risk to cheaper junior. If he or she manage to do it great, awesome. If it is too much mess, then senior will redo it when change requests come first time. Most of the time, the module is not perfect, but is useable, junior learned and was useful. That is just one example of how to manage less then super genius super experienced programmers.

It is not so difficult to write good code and some tasks are easier then others. Writing good code boils down to being predictable plus following some rules. Comes easily with experience. But funny thing is, puzzles, whiteboards and tricks do jour have little to do with writing good readable code. They select for people who are good in solving short competition like problems. That is not nearly the same as writing large readable maintenable system. It is useful, in some projects more then in others, but it is still different skill.

That gets us to assigning tasks to people based on their personalities and skills. Someone who is super great in algorithms may write ugly code, someone who writes nice code can have hungups on frustrating tasks and someone learns fast but gets bored easily. Instead of complaining about those three being imperfect, good management assigns them different tasks (or have them choose tasks).

Just in case you missed it, you can clone the git repo for this project and use it inside your network. I'm playing with it now that way.

Right now, I'm using wkhtmltopdf which supports custom headers and footers and I'm mulling over how to do the same with this solution.
Basically, having multiple repos means that one person can change a dependency of someone else's code without fixing the dependent code. This is unavoidable with independent organisations, but is easily avoidable within an organisation which uses unit & integration testing within a single repo (the use of a single repo means that a suite of changes may be applied atomically).

In general, a process which allows one person in an organisation to stymie another's progress is a broken system.
One thing that catches me surprisingly often when I use Edge (which is very, very rarely, contributing to this), is that all the browser controls, like Back, stay in focus when you click them until you click something else. I don't think any other common browser has this behaviour, which is why I'm not used to un-focusing them, and the next press of space definitely does something I did not intend it to do.

Great observation. There is more pressure on kids than in the past. My daughter (1st grade now) was assigned homework every day in kindergarten (age 5), at a regular public school in the US, albeit a small amount and she didn't seem to be too bothered by it. These do seem possibly above a 5-year-old's level, and potentially a turn-off if they don't latch on quickly.

However, I'm actually impressed that the Math curriculum at schools today is much less narrowly arithmetical, and much in the vein of some of the puzzles mentioned here, in particular the "sets" game.

These games are good ideas, I will definitely try them, at the same time if the kid just isn't into it, no need to give up on them going to college. Let them try something else, or just go outside and play.
G2 seems to still get updates if you install LineageOS. My Note2 works beautifully. It is a pity that you have to install it yourself though. On Apple you get updates for as little as 2 years (5s). Neither is good. I would so much prefer buying a phone with vanilla Android and open drivers. But I can still buy an Android phone that I can change batteries and SD-card. One that is not planned to be obsolete.

if someone follows the definition of the process as laid out in the literature,

Agile has no "process as laid out in the literature".

I'm not even sure where this idea comes from.

The Agile manifesto is extremely basic. It contains a few core principles, and everything else is elaboration on them.

This organization is violating even those very basic tenants.

It's possible that, over and above the manifesto they're trying to implement Scrum or Kanban or some other process, and heck, they may be failing to adhere to those processes as well

But if they're not at a bare minimum attempting to live and breathe the values encapsulated in the manifesto, they are by definition not executing an Agile process, since the manifesto defines what "Agile" is.
I think that pretty much describes an Associates degree in pretty much anything. You graduate with a 2-year degree of mostly general ed, but a few classes in something you think you might be interested in. If you want to get a 4-year degree you should have a much better idea of what types of things you'd be willing to spend another 2 or 3 years learning. If you don't go on for a 4-year degree you at least have an associate degree which is a huge step in employability above just having a high school diploma.
Mark Seemann, TFA's autor wrote a highly praised book Dependency Injection in.NET and then slowly gravitated towards F# and Haskell.

> And is it my religious duty as a Christian to fight for release for all the prisoners?

I think it probably is.

Prisons are pretty inhumane: this has been recognized in the modern era by people as disperate as Johnny Cash and Eugene Debs[0] (and many others besides).

The cloak of "rehabilitation" or "correction" is really just a way of making punishment more paletable -- and as others in the thread have commented, that is actually what many people (in the US and Britain certainly) believe prisons are for, and ought to be for. But punishment doesn't improve society: recitivism rates remain very high even with very brutal criminal justice systems, and obviously don't deter. Even the "Bloody Code" in the 19th century in the UK didn't work, otherwise crime would have died out.

The causes of crime are various and complex. If we want to reduce crime and bring about justice and security for everyone, we need to address those causes. And as Debs wrote about rather eloquently after spending time in prison, all the American system has done for hundreds of years, by and large, is take people in desperate circumstances and make those circumstances even more desperate. It essentially exacerbates the causes of crime in countless instances.

Thus the fight for real justice and real peace has to be the fight not just on behalf of victims, but on the perpatrators as well. It prevents more victims, for one. But Christian duty, and Christian compassion, also demands caring attention to everyone, even people that have done truly terrible things. This isn't easy, or even pleasant, but that's one of the real radical roots of Christianity.

That struggle for justice and peace isn't as simple as "open the gates of the prisons, and let people do what they want." A lot of people would try to reduce such an argument to that. It's a process, and a path, and taken seriously, we could find ourselves at the end of that path with a society that is fairer, happier, more peaceful, and which has no need of prisons.

(And as a further aside of personal interest, that question of radical Christianity and the very real attention to the precepts of the gospels was one of the things that led George Fox to found the Quaker movement, which was also for a long time considered insidiously radical, and violently surpressed: largely because the Quakers refused to swear oaths or participate in war. The Peace Testimony of the Quakers -- also often treated in reductive terms along the lines of "oh, so you don't fight to defend anyone then" -- is pretty powerful stuff, that acknowledges the complexities of conflict and violence[1], but also the causes of conflict and violence, and seeks to end violence by putting an end to the causes of it[2].)

I think the author got the terminology all wrong. They say don't hire a rockstar but what they mean is don't hire a really talented asshole. I love how they give an example of a talented person, whom for all we know was mis-managed and had all of the work piled on her because management was incapable of hiring a decent team. I'm not sure where the authors perspective comes from, but I've certainly worked on a team where most people couldn't code the simplest of things, and the few of us that were good were pressured to make up the difference and deliver despite the teams shortcomings. In the end the advice is as simple as hire really talented people, but be ready to manage or mentor them in how to manage. Don't hire really talented people that are massive jerks.

So true. My experience was that upgrading Apple OSes was a safe and reliable experience. I'd almost always upgrade on launch day or the day after. As of the last 2-3 releases that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Their quality assurance has decreased so much that, for productivity sake, I just can't risk it.

After the debacle that was the Sierra upgrade (we had all of our users get locked out of their machines after the upgrade reboot and countless issues with Wifi), I'm hesitant to think about High Sierra or iOS 11.

Apple's reputation for high prices was always offset by high quality. If they keep skimping on the quality side, I'd imagine their leverage on the pricing side is going to get hurt (eventually).

Because Lightning cables are too flimsy, so doing so has a chance to break the cable at the connector end.
In the 17th century we were experimenting with static electricity, the sparks of which emit radio waves. You cannot tell them from atmospheric lightening, but they are detectable.

I wonder if an alien species has been listening for a while they might be able to go back in their archives and conclude that some emissions actually were our experiments - once they have hindsight that humans really were playing with static electricity in those time frames.

As long as you still prefer Macs over anything else, Apple has no incentive whatsoever to be any better. They merely have to be just good enough for you not to switch and keep using macOS/iOS/etc.
