Competition.

So your competitors are also able to automate the supply chain. So you have to too. To be competitive.

Therefore all of the people doing backend tasks with spreadsheets and 'copy/paste' of addresses, sku codes etc. get to be made redundant. The computer does most of it with the process being customer driven as much as possible.

However this is not where the story ends. To be competitive in this new online marketplace where reviews are everything, there is a new requirement for skilled customer service agents, able to do the things that were not automated, i.e. the things that need customer interaction, product knowledge and skill. There is a need for the language support, e.g. French/German/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese and more if selling into the E.U.

So now instead of having a room full of data entry people doing dull work there is now a room full of people doing thinking person work, where skill and independent thought is helpful.

These new staff need to be treated differently, they can't be hired and fired ad-hoc, they need to be paid properly and given opportunities to grow with the company.

Because you now have intelligent staff it is also possible to involve them in more things, so being able to compete in foreign language markets becomes much more possible as there is now in-house translation facilities from someone customer focused and with product knowledge.

When speaking with customers the 'intelligent human agents' will have a more insightful interaction, so less 'lonely' than when everything was manual and not automated. The agents will essentially be dealing with new edge cases, not routine interactions, e.g. to get address details from a customer.

Because the 'intelligent customer service agents' are creating value they are not a cost in the way the previous 'data entry agents' were.

It is not all doom and gloom, there will be winning companies that will thrive by putting the customer first and hiring better people that are paid better.

I don't believe that anyone using any VCS expects every single commit to be free from "conflict" or "change collision".

In fact, the whole point of using VCS is that "conflicts" and "change collisions" are a given, thus there is a need to use a specialized tool to manage merges and handle conflicts.

Booting a VM should be "as complex" as fork. And the memory image of the booted OS should be identical on each load before the end user specific data is loaded.

"Prefork" these VMs by spraying that image over physical memory in advance, jump to them on a request. memcopy a new VM over them on exit.

VM spawn rate should be the memcopy rate, if the MMU is powerful enough, should only be the amount of memory mutated during a request.

I was able to format the drive and whatnot... the problem is that High Sierra steadfastly refuses to kid from as RAID array (despite having been upgraded on one and working from it previously), and APFS-formatted volumes are a real bloody pain to reformat.

Passwords shouldn't exist at all. Web services should use OAuth. Oauth providers should use two factor where one factor is a 2048 bit key (Yubikey/Client Cert/etc.). Point to point connections (ssh, VNC, network shares) should use client certificates or centralized auth (Kerberos or active directory).

Scrypt is a bandage which doesn't resolve the core problem - there is insufficient entropy in typical users passwords. If there was enough entropy, the speed of the hash function wouldn't matter.

I’m returning to the states in about a month and I’m trying to decide if I should just look for junior dev jobs and get some hard experience, or if I should look into getting a masters in CS, or a masters in ML .

In terms of future long term job security, earnings, etc, which of the three options would you recommend?

This is a bit like saying "human-driven cars shouldn't exist: the roads would be much safer".

True, certainly. You're unlikely to get much debate about hardware tokens / certificates / etc being more securable; the reason we still have passwords isn't because they're more securable, it's because their UX for the vast majority of users is much better.

If you're suggesting there's a reasonable path to get from $the_world_today to $the_world_you're_proposing, I suspect that's a more interesting point to make.

My thoughts exactly!

On an earlier Tacotron article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15963888
I am essentially the highest ranking officer of my family's business (Business Unit Manager, overseeing 333 employees) here in Italy and I have to say that local (Italian) native corporate culture seems to have remained largely unaffected by the creep of such meaningless language into everyday intracompany discourse. It is on the rise in infracompany communication, however.

I have an acute disdain for empty verbiage and what I like to think of as a very critical mode of thinking, so I spend my time nipping these things in the bud and doing what the organisational machinery beneath me cannot, by its very axioms, be relied upon to do: cut down on bureaucracy and eliminate pointless paperwork and/or circular processes whenever I come across them. Not to eliminate people, but to free them up to do what they actually are here to do (and presumably/hopefully enjoy doing). Lots of cogs in the transmission is not something that the company needs or can make use of.

> If the code to generate the data is large and complex, how do you debug it when it only runs at compile time?

that's up to the compiler actually. For instance, in debug mode visual studio skips constexpr and does everything at runtime (which sucks if you depend on stuff being constexpr).
constexpr don't have to run at compile-time, they can do so.

So you can use regular tests/debugging to debug your function.
C++ is never just C++. The build system for any C++ program includes both macro language and some form of make and/or make replacement. Explicitly generating tables at compile time and linking is bog standard at this point.

Write a table generator program, have output create a table, splice in the order into make and/or make replacement.

Sure it's three extra steps, but it's small steps that can be debugged. It also doesn't require any advanced compiler tricks that may or may not actually run at compile.
I honestly feel that Lua would be a better fit, since the Lua table maps pretty nicely to Excel cells... but I'm sure there's some reason that it would unsuitable?
Click on the timestamp of the comment and you should get a flag button on the page for that specific comment. If you have enough karma for flagging. I suspect adding the extra click reduces excessive flagging behavior.

Note that the best way to address a perceived problem with moderation or lack thereof is to email the mods. Because while it might take a couple days, you'll get an answer which feels a lot less like screaming into the void than hitting flag buttons, and the mods will also know why you're reporting something because you can explain it.
At the risk of being downvoted until my comment is dead like below, I have to say I agree with muninn_. This is a great thing for India, and it's really unfortunate that the US has been poaching academic and technical talent to their own advantage, and the disadvantage of less well off countries for so long. The brain drain of the US (and the UK and Germany to a much smaller extent) is a real phenomena, and it's especially damaging for developing countries.
Why should you learn PostgreSQL? (2014)
Misleading. Likely intentionally so. Top 1% mostly comes from artificially scarce markets and pyramid schemes: lawyers (with intentional bottlenecks on supply at the associate level and a pyramid scheme to make partner), doctors (with intentional barriers in both requiring unrelated undergrad study and the hazing style apprentice model), elite university professors (pyramid scheme with grad students and post docs; salaries are now typically above $200k, reaching a million), executives (pyramid scheme based on connections and kickbacks), finance, etc.

The only domain requiring unique productive skills is doctors... The rest is all market manipulation.
It has been possible on terminals for about three decades -- since the DEC VT220 at least.

Applications know when shift+arrow is pressed because they receive a different control sequence. Modifier keys are reported as an extra parameter in the control sequence for function keys and extended keys. Dickey xterm has been doing the same since 1999. The PuTTY changelog does not indicate when it gained this, but it has had it for years, too.

* http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_94

And indeed you will find that TUI applications such as VIM and NeoVIM recognize these control sequences and can distinguish arrow from shift+arrow. See :help cursor-up and (on VIM) :help xterm-modifier-keys . (NeoVIM handles the TUI differently, is terminfo-only, and has modifier recognition always on.)

If some other application does not, then it is not the terminals that need fixing.

I'm a (sort of independent) software developer, and a Mac enables me to do software on the 3 major desktop platforms and both major mobile platforms on the same machine. It's a no brainer really. I can make it run on whatever the customer wants.

Genuine question: Is there anything protecting us from an entirely new class of compiler bugs where the constexpr code and the compiled code behave differently? Is it at all possible?

In case people aren't aware - you can use any language with COM bindings to script Excel/Word/PowerPoint/Adobe/etc from outside the application.

Python has pywin32. Usually I have a python prompt and Excel open side by side and highlight cells I'd like to modify in Excel and then switch to Python to run the appropriate functions.

The COM API can be used interactively (attach to an existing instance or launch the GUI) or automatically (launch an Excel instance but turn off visibility).

I don't think it's so clear that most people are ignorant about what they are buying. I hope we can agree that at least some men are not. In today's world, people are commonly talking about dangerous substances in common products, so I would be surprised if I'm the only one who pays attention. BPA, styrofoam, mercury, artificial preservatives, GMOs, bovine hormones...there are many successful mass market products that are marketed as being free of these.

I also think a lot of what the studies measure, if they measure anything at all, is virtue signaling. A countertheory might be that virtue signaling is a feminine behavior, and that when a man feels emasculated he tends to reject feminine behaviors like buying "green" backpacks (whatever those are).

This is the second time you are insinuating that I either didn't read, or didn't understand, the literature.

If I'm wrong, show me where in the text of the paper you just linked. And if not, accept it: they aren't rigorous in explaining their experiments and their methods for isolating variables.
