> Calling a game "perverse" is a classic tactic too use when you're losing and can't own up to it.

Oh please. You damned straight it's perverse.

How is this not perverse when a director of an agency on aging has to tell elderly clients "Sorry, there's no more money for food this week." ?

How is this not perverse when homeless try to get shelter for the night, and are turned away because there's no beds?

How is this not perverse when we train upcoming high school students to agree to crushing scholastic debt with no recourse or bankruptcy protection?

How is this not perverse that we don't have a true medical system across the USA? Instead we tie it to employment, thus continuing the "Work or Die" ideal, quite literally.

> There may be "enough" resources – but they aren't yours to go anywhere. And freedom to do whatever you please with the things you own is the most fundamental human right of all.

Sure, I'll accept that for simple possessions. Clothes, personal effects, lodging, transportation.

But whereas you're talking of personal stuff, I'm talking about the top income whose top 3 people own collectively more than the bottom 50% of the world. I guess when you can afford to amass money, game the system, buy laws/legislators and rig everything, you do end up with more money. But "it was hard earned". Yeah, uh huh. Keep telling yourself that.

No, nowhere in that post did westoncb say anything was hard to avoid doing.
I'd say group-work.

I've been developing some services for some time already but was never able to easily/cleanly work in group, or even think in so.

Of course, it may be a problem related to the way I think or so, but I see it as quite common around where I work.

Do we have any protection of that? As best I know (which isn't much), UK net neutrality is more along the lines of a polite understanding than anything enshrined in law.

Unsure I'd agree. It looks like Amplify is providing you with all the components you need to build on top of all AWS cloud services.

I particularly like their approach which makes it easy to use AWS but the ability to move away from AWS should you want to.

"AWS Amplify is a JavaScript library for frontend and mobile developers building cloud-enabled applications. The library is a declarative interface across different categories of operations in order to make common tasks easier to add into your application. The default implementation works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources but is designed to be open and pluggable for usage with other cloud services that wish to provide an implementation or custom backends."

Language awareness can be lacking. That is why things like helm-ag and helm-multioccur are so great. They work no matter the language and for things you could never really add awareness for. I find with a few language based cheat codes like helm / git free + it grabbing the symbol at point working out just fine in practice.
same issue here, spacemacs is a very nice package but I just have no idea how to fix it when ran into bugs, I started to build my own .emacs.d since last month.
Because it vastly simplified many things, and oh look, compositors have managed to add remoting back in somehow without it!

I mean christ, windows has no support for remote windowing in it's API and still has RDP, even for single windows.

Linux people just love to complain about any change that actually makes the system better because then they can't feel quite as elitist for using it.

"Argument to moderation (Latin: argumentum ad temperantiam) —
also known as [argument from] middle ground, false compromise, gray fallacy, false middle point fallacy, equidistance fallacy and the golden mean fallacy — is an informal fallacy which asserts that the truth must be found as a compromise between two opposite positions. This fallacy's opposite is the false dilemma."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_moderation
I once worked as the assistant knowledge manager for US Army Afghanistan Logistics. The whole point of that job was the evaluate and expose candor and honesty in the management.

I can tell from experience there is very little candor or honesty unless there is a convention to specifically address that concern and that convention is continually supervised by a dedicated staff. The more challenging or bad things get the more true this becomes.

The only staffs that doesn't have an honesty problem are those few rare groups who have largely automated away most of their daily work and fully exposed those automation processes for open evaluation.

I suppose it is human nature that the more incompetent and lower confidence a staff section becomes the less honest and transparent they try to be. In reflection, candor is actually a really great measure of confidence and competence.

The reason you need a dedicated convention and dedicated staff to solve this problem is because the boss never sees what the minions are hiding or what they fail to report unless somebody does a deep dive into their work and fully documents their efficiency and qualifies their quality of work.
If the answer is (implicit) assumption that they are just ignorant, this reveals more about our own biases and ignorance.
First of all: it was not just "the internet that was set ablaze". Even if there were reports on these and other larger issues before, the amount of attention the media gave to the things (re-)revealed in the leaks is far larger.

I'm not sure I follow this. Ignorant people are the fault of... ignorant people? We're not talking about something on the 17th page reported between lines here. These were massive , widely covered stories in their own right. NSA was engaged in post-9/11 wiretapping (vs metadata collection) - this was found illegal by courts, nearly led to a mass resignation of the leadership of the DoJ. Abu Ghraib, black extradition sites, torture, the very incident 'collateral murder' describes: all covered extensively before that one video. You literally have to have not read the news to have been unaware of these things.
I would argue that the most commonly used programming language is Excel. But few of the people using it realize they're programming.

It's a brilliant reactive data programming model that makes intuitive sense to non-technical users. They feel empowered to use it to solve problems right now with a computer. They experiment with it, try things, Google how to do more things- just like any programmer does. And they feel capable of doing this because they don't know they're programming.

Within the Amazon warehouse world, I have seen incredible innovation using it. An acquaintance of mine got into development by using it to help save soldiers lives while serving in Afghanistan[0].

I agree that mission critical data needs to get out of it and into a centralized system, but I still feel Excel is an incredible tool in any business.

Erlang's error-handling model is good (and interesting). Th e motto is: "Let it crash".

Each node does not handle errors at all, but PANICs on a fault. It is up to the supervisor (with global knowledge and state) to handle the fault appropriately.
A better way of course is not to halt on assertion, but to limit the scope of any potential problem in a such way, that an assertion could only crash a tiny isolated thing and trigger its restart, possibly not impacting availability whatsoever. You still get your sanity, but also get users happy with a rock solid thing that just works even in a presence of errors.

The idea is known as supervision trees.

That's the positive side of it.

The most negative ones would be:
- Content blocking: you limit access to your news to a very precise subset of people, so implicitly easily targeting and closing users's views.
- Heaviness: you limit access to your news to mainly desktop targets, as most mobile networks have very limited bandwidth usage.

Also it have a positive impact on you, also me (as I decided to add it and all its subdomains to my blocklist) but a lot of users will keep living under those website's constraints, but also gaining the habit of that, thus starting to think about it as "normal" where it's really the Web and net neutrality cancer.
The other important "users" are the developers and drive-by-developers of those user space processes which may accidentally trigger these bugs. These folks are highly likely to be able to resolve these issues if they are reported [in a way which is visible to them].

Counterpoint: most developers and users are not actively following their logs at any level, and maybe something should be done to make it more common. Possibly stderr logging of such errors in libc (or some other commonly used library which already sometimes logs errors on its own, like glib). 3:- )

I know that mentioning downvotes usually invites more downvotes, but...

I'm surprised you're being so heavily downvoted for your question. Engineering teams (and software companies) come in all shapes and sizes. It is absolutely reasonable for even an experienced engineer to have only worked at companies with a handful of repos.

Rather than downvoting, it would have been helpful to explain why your company has opted for such granularity (perhaps engineers or teams have a high level of autonomy, or your software is highly componentised and built from a great many, separately managed, parts).

Excel shouldn't be used for much other than trivial things:

http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/one-five-genetics-pap...

https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2016/09/daily-...

he authors found that Microsoft Excel would often interpret “SEPT2”, which corresponds to the gene Septin 2, as “September 2nd”. The programme also tended to mistake identification codes like “2310009E13” for numbers in scientific notation—in this particular instance, the code would be read as 2.310009 times 101

Excel is fine for the home user. But the implicit conversions of input data can play havoc with any complex analysis.

Plus, it's limited precision can cause errors such as subtractive cancellation, etc. In order to correctly calculate complex formulae, the calculations must be done with an understanding of the limitations of the computers.

e.g. you don't calculate (a^2-b^2) for large 'a' and 'b'. Instead, you calculate (a+b)*(a-b). That has the same mathematical result, but is not affected by subtractive cancellation.
One of these things?

It's not silly, it's the correct analogy. "We divide Git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level ("plumbing") commands." (https://git-scm.com/docs/git#_git_commands)

The "porcelain" is the user-visible part, the "plumbing" (hidden within the walls) is the behind-the-scenes part. Originally, the "porcelain" commands were shell scripts wrapping the "plumbing" executables (written in C).

This is also naive. In that case you won't be able to publish your results in prestigious journals and your career will die out.

That said, you do learn not to act 100% confident. You need to say "This suggests that" instead of "This proves that", etc.

Anyway, the solution to reliable data is simple: Have multiple competing groups try to repeat the work as closely as possible.

Now that you have something to hang your hat on, you come up with some theory/model to explain the phenomenon. Even better, come up with multiple competing such models. From these you deduce some precise prediction that is checked against future data.

All of this was well known a few generations ago...

I see. It's ok because we'll just pass the buck and make it someone else's problem.
The web editor might be good enough today but it used to choke and wouldn’t open/render all kinds of stuff that’s normal in financial spreadsheets. Thats not even getting into what a shit show SharePoint has been over the years. Microsoft has slowly eroded trust in anything but email sharing and (if there haven’t been missteps within an org with them) file shares.
The phrases "avoid data silos" and "we want single source of truth" have been used repeatedly about Excel misuse/abuse/overuse for 20+ years. The WSJ story talks about the complaint but not about the underlying tension between data redundancy vs data manipulation.

Excel endures because it's the non-programmer's REPL for data. Like a Lisp REPL, using Excel is nimble and has an instant feedback loop. Click "A-Z" to sort ascending, click "Z-A" to sort descending. Move/hide/freeze columns. If one has intermediate-to-advanced skills, one can pivot the data on multiple axis. None of the centralized systems with even the slickest web GUIs can match Excel's capabilities.

That's why the centralized systems like SAP ERP, Microsoft Team Foundation, mainframe sytems, etc offer functionality to export to Excel spreadsheets. (Or they offer export to csv files -- which is 1 step removed from Excel.) With MS TFS, you can even re-import from Excel so in that case, Excel acts as a sort of offline data-entry client for the project management tool.

One middle ground between Excel data silos and the utopia of a centralized system is a shared document store like Sharepoint or Dropbox. The hierarchy would be something like:

1) Excel spreadsheets emailed around. Lots of redundancy; uncertainty of which version is canonical.

2) Excel xls file stored on Sharepoint with automatic version control. Employees must have discipline to only email links to the "one true" spreadsheet and never attach the actual xls file in the emails.

3) The data that was in Excel is migrated to centralized system and all data entry and reporting is done there. However, because the central systems are so cumbersome, this abstraction "leaks" back out to Excel because of the highly desired "export to Excel" functions! (This restarts the dreaded Excel "data silos" complaint cycle all over again.)

There isn't an IT department in the world that can develop centralized IT solutions fast enough to keep up with the ways employees slice & dice data. That's why Excel is "overused".
Ha, this would actually totally work.

Definitely, great point. Tools like Tableau/Power BI make it very easy to get a misleading version of the truth, since it can very easily include misleading data points and/or make calculations in a fashion that leads the user to misinterpret KPIs.

It has only two landing wheels--one in the front and one in the back (called bicycle landing gear). The chase car tells the pilot what to do to keep the plane balanced on two wheels as it goes down the runway. At the end, as it slows down, it reallly wants to tip over. Before it can, ground crews run up and put wingtip stanchions with wheels on them under the wingtips to complete the landing gear so it can taxi. Really amazing

And even if it was so, does that mean the ISP gets the automatic right to fuck over everyone left because they didn't move? Does that right extend to other things? Should water utility not be provided to them because they didn't move?

And yet one of the big complaints about Windows of old was how often it crashes.
If possible, swap Caps Lock with Left Control like it was on the old Sun and Apple keyboards. Having Control on the home row makes it much more comfortable typing common left-hand-only keyboard shortcuts like C-x, C-w, C-a, C-q, C-s, C-e, C-v, and C-z, as well as chords such as M-C-v, M-C-c, or M-C-d. On Windows you can edit the scan code map in the registry to swap the mappings, although this sometimes breaks laptop buttons that are implemented as USB HIDs (e.g., secure attention keys on tablets that work by sending the Control, Alt, and Del scan codes like a real keyboard would). On Macs I also swap Option and Command, since Option usually gets mapped to Left Alt in terminals and in Emacs.

On FreeBSD the syscons driver lets you edit the keyboard maps in a text file. I don't know how to do it in newcons. I forget how to do it in Linux. If all you care about is X, you can also use xmodmap (IIRC).

One of the parent posts mentioned that it is difficult to even agree what constitutes sexual harassment, so difficult to know what to act on or how to act in all circumstances.

Some consider a hug sexual harassment, some consider touching a knee. What about putting your hand on a person's back? Does it make a difference what part of their back, if so exactly how and where?

Sexual harassment should be far more about intention rather than the specific part of the body touched (excluding the obvious no-go areas of genitals and breasts). Generally you should be allowed 1 strike, for mis-reading signals.

In a society where men are expected to initiate contact, this is a fraught situation.

It is not a simple answer.

Like all moral questions, at its base it's really aesthetics or even "taste". Some managers are not attracted to those who are willing to exchange romance for career advancement. (...they got a name for that.) Other managers are attracted to that sort of person. The former group of managers has less difficulty with this situation than the latter group has, so one might say they have better taste; YMMV.
