California Teachers Deliver Abysmal Performance Compared to Other States
Yes, I think Airbus probably had to do a 747 competitor. Did it have to be larger? Dunno. My guess is that it didn’t make much sense to make it the same size or slightly smaller, as shown by the A340, and they already had a 787-size twin, the A330.
Yahoo? After Semel took over, they were explicitly organized as a media company, with a CEO who had deep experience in the media industry, managers coming from other media companies, and a sidelining of much of the original technical talent.

As a result, they completely missed that the continued growth of the Internet would make hand-curated approaches infeasible. And so they got their lunch eaten by Google. And then they started losing traffic on other properties to Google, who could leverage their massive technological infrastructure that Yahoo had largely copied and open-sourced but wasn't really integrating into their product design. Eventually they brought in an ex-Googler as CEO who tried to stem the tide and re-emphasize Yahoo's technical capabilities, but she was 10 years too late and fighting a whole culture by then.
VS Code is crap compared to MSVC or CLion because it can't parse large C++ programs. Indeed, writing those kind of performance sensitive routines wiuld be difficult without going native.
I really enjoy his writing too, but I wish it was concise. The article was more of a career summary, not what the title suggests.
I'm sure there's more to the story but it seems like there's a missing conversation here: "why don't we replace the fake circles with real circles?"

A healthy team would have that conversation. I'm not sure the PM needs to understand so much as defer to the engineering side if they decide a change is needed.
That, or we have a universal basic income.
There are more connections than ownership.

For example, an airline might get preferred access to airport berths. Governments, and officials of privatised government entities serve to organise and stabilise this sort of cartel.
Why are the shoes manufactured in China if no humans are necessary to do so? The primary reason to do manufacturing in low-wage countries now seems to be just that: low wages. Take out the need to pay wages and it makes a lot of sense to manufacture locally to save on shipping costs (and maybe even do things like manufacturing to order instead of keeping stock).

Qatar operate a small business only A319 from Doha to London once a day, or did when I took it two years ago. I preferred the a350 and 787 flights which are 1-2-1 rather than 2-2, but for a 7 hour day flight it wasnt too bad. It was half empty though, not a great use of a Heathrow slot.
You can purchase additional insurance, much as Bitcoin exchanges with insurance will also charge higher fees, because they're not getting that insurance for free (indeed, probably substantially more expensive per "dollar", because of things like poor/poorer security, etc.).

And yes, it does. Much like a transaction on the blockchain might if you paid only $3 in mining fees. Or you could pay $30-50 and get it cleared much more quickly, just as I could pay for a wire transfer and get things done in n hour or two.

This 'brilliant technologist that is impossible to work with' mythos needs to die. The majority of us are normal people and don't deserve to be stereotyped in this way.

A broader, more liberal education isn't a waste, but I don't think that such a thing would lead anybody to call out nerds for social deficiencies while singing one's own praises. If it does, then yes, that is a shocking waste of an education.

Not being able to see this and trying to throw people under the bus with unfair stereotypes in order to get ahead is just as bad as having strong hard skills but being devoid of empathy. (It is practically a mirror image: having strong soft skills but being devoid of empathy.)
There'd need to be a lot of work making sure that it's safe in that:

a) Losing it should not expose your entire medical history to whoever picks it up

b) Losing it should not mean losing your data forever. Giving the consumer the responsibility for backups is not a solution either, since those can be lost or stolen as well.

c) It has to be tied to the person's identity, so you can't borrow/steal your friend's to get meds

d) Can't be tampered with or forged to fake conditions or clear conditions

e) Records who edits it, when, and a diff of changes.

f) Records who reads it, and when

g) Resistant to physical damage or water. I should be able to go swimming with this device or have it go through the wash without worrying about its safety.

These are all pretty hard problems on their own, and together, you'd have to design pretty much the world's safest storage device. If it existed, I'd put my SSH keys on it too!
Fun fact: Trying to apply that to IPv6 ends up without a working network connection.
He didn't say that. That's what the author of the article said.

Of course Warren buffett doesn't like it. He has made his name on being able to tell if a stock's price is above or below it's fundamentals. Bitcoin doesn't have fundamentals and it doesn't pay dividends.
That's not how blockchain consensus works. Once block number X is finalized, everyone sees the same data in block number X.

If a block isn't finalized, and you build a transaction based on particular conditions in that block, and the finalized block has different conditions, then your transaction just fails.
No, the transaction price scales with total transaction volume on the network.
Hey now! The reality that confines a singular, isolated perception can still incidentally offend its sole sentient entity without motive.

You’re being selfishly stoic, and that’s somewhat repugnant, even for a solipsist.
Why on earth do you think you can generalize your anecdotal experience to conclude tech people are any more arrogant than doctors or staff in whatever field?

We can agree there is a massive disconnect, but there is plenty of arrogance to go around and I’ve seen it on both sides in these situations. Moreover, whoever’s arrogance it is, is only one part of the problem, and I think not the largest one.

Just the legal and regulatory hurdles alone pour molasses all over what would normally be a fast moving startup effort. Worse, some products or services have to worry about the reasons the bureaucracy exists in the first place: What level of risk mitigation is sufficient to keep from killing people? Here’s a hint, it’s a level that doesn’t speed up your time to market.

There can also be a lot of time wasted by people who may be very talelented within their specialties, but require lots of hand holding to ramp up on the medical issues, technologies, product design and user experience (which still always exist), and business strategies depending on their background. Ideally you have at least one person with great expertise in one, and training and/or a knack for the others, who can see the big picture, and everyone else must make honest assesments of where they can really add the most value.

We always talk around here about how ideas are cheap and the team and execution are what matter. Based on some time I’ve spent with doctors and entrepreneurs in these scenarios, my impression is that maxim is even more apt in this space.
We don't want to do it unless it's going to move the needle.

This is what I was responding to:

> Do you think all weight spikes simply equate to having CHF? You can't just rely on such a basic measurement when dealing with an incredibly complex system such as the human body.

Considering you were knowingly addressing someone who worked in the space and blew right past something you obviously knew within seconds (not all weight spikes equate to CHF), thinking there was even a remote possiblity they hadn't thought of that, despite having a physician on staff to discuss with.

Your response here (as quoted) is exactly why doctors throw their hands in the air and wait for someone else to come along. You actually thought you had an insight and despite remonstration, you persist in thinking you outwitted everyone on this thread. That's the point.

You're lack of humility coupled with your snowflake sensitivity is why we don't want to work with a lot of computer people. The sad fact that a lot of doctors also equate computer science with IT is another problem.
While this is a valid point, I've found the biggest issue with "Agile" to be that business thinks that this is the primary (or only) input that needs to be heard from the tech side. They think that because they're tossing us the "Agile" carrot they have carte blanche elsewhere and it is a "get out of jail free" card for their absolutely terrible decisions...like demanding the use of a CMS like AEM when building a dynamic RIA because they may feel the need to change the text of a button down the road.

By being "Agile" the team can make up for the ignorant and time wasting technical decisions foisted upon by business.
I can give you an example of why I think the code quality is questionable:

At my work we use AMT for legitimate purposes: remote administration and support (we have offices in different cities). A big problem for us is that the AMT crashes by itself and the computer needs to be power-cycled for the AMT to work again. Sometimes the web-interface don't answer, sometimes the passwords doesn't match anymore. I think there is a process that is writing where it shouldn't, because it works again after the computer is power-cycled by removing the power-cord.

I now have a script that checks every registered computer twice a day , to see if it is still possible to login to the AMT, and if not, it sends an email to a person at the local office requesting them to restart the computers that fails.

When it works it is a great tool, allowing us to fix computers and give support without the need to travel to each city.

Actually, a Minecraft server isn't a bad idea. My youngest (at 8) is obsessed with Minecraft on the Wii U, but the worlds he creates and hosts on that are only available when he runs that game and hosts them (even if he has lots of friends on the platform that connect). I'll have to look into whether the Wii U connects to regular servers or only Wii U specific ones and whether I can host a dedicated one.

I actually have a Pi as well I have't used yet, but was thinking of tinkering around with Redox Os on that.
I have young kids and watched Peter Pan recently. My kids actually thought nothing of it, even when I cringed. I think the offensiveness of it would never have been obvious to you as a kid.

+1, text diff highlighting would be a great usability win.
Re email: Because you don't know if the destination server is encrypted (you send emails from your server and it finds the destination), any email must be intercepted at your server and a hyperlink to a secure site inserted in place of the email body. The email becomes just a notification via SMTP. The recipient then goes to the site and logs in to view the email. The PHI is what you care about (and it's, very, very strict). No PHI in the subject either.

I suspect the reason faxes are compliant is a few:

1. Grandfathered in.
2. The number of unauthorized people that can see them is very limited (to whomever has access to the fax machine).
3. Modern fax machines print face down.
4. Data is in hard copy format which is more difficult to copy.

As an aside, modern fax machines are probably less secure than the old ones. Fax machines using digi-boards and databases and whatnot. The vast majority of US healthcare use faxes though.
First off, great article.

I'm finishing up my accounting degree, a field which I honestly have no interest in pursuing. But, screw it, I didn't know I wanted to be a programmer when I started it and I have less than a year left.

I take issue with the idea that business BS started in the 80s. If you read material from the 20s and 30s, it was likewise filled with meaningless jargon and memes. Motivational posters are very old and they're filled with vapid and empty sayings, with the belief that by some magic hanging a sign that says "work harder" will make employees work harder (whatever that means) and make you more money that way.

What I've learned is that when you teach a soft skill, you get people teaching garbage. In an accounting class or a supply chain and logistics class, there can be some real meat to be learned, even when there's not science per se. But for most things, the books are full of arbitrary enumerations of "types of managers" and acronym to make it sound like we're being taught something. But, sadly, the attitude people have in business is that they want to be in charge of people and so they don't have to worry about the details. The details are for the expendable people you make money off of. The way you get rich in America is by being so awesome, because that's what the rich people told us is how they made their fortune.

And the problem is that they're kinda right. At the top of the food chain, everything breaks down into politics. There's little to no way of evaluating quality, and so this self-serving culture of bullshit develops. Everyone thinks they're a great judge of character and that they have these ineffable skills that cannot be measured that justify why they've gotten to where they are. But it's all just marketing. They're doing their job, sure. But there's bullshit in business for the same reason there's bullshit in marketing and politics. You're selling something and the product is interchangeable with a thousand other ones.

You're misconstruing my position. Yes, the rockstar asshole is rare, but I've worked with enough of them to know how destructive they are to the morale of the team. I was also once tasked with rewriting years of a rockstar asshole's code in months because said rockstar asshole left in a huff over not being treated the way he wanted, and no-one else had ever touched his deliberately impenetrable code. (All function and variable names were one or two letters, &c. But up until that point, he was just so productive, the employer put up with his behavior, and ignored the turnover on the rest of the team — which, miraculously, changed dramatically after he left. Go figure.)

So I'll freely own that I may have a small chip there. But at the same time, while the plural of anecdote isn't data, an existence proof is an existence proof.
I'm still looking for a good note-taking app.
I've tried a few:

* Stackedit: Not developed anymore, I've encountered many bugs.

* Typora: It's very good, as a couple of bugs but it's probably the best to me at the moment.

* Ghostwriter: What I'm trying out these days.

Honestly, my problem with Typora (and also with this MedleyText) is that they aren't opensource.

I'm okay with this if and only if browser vendors make old releases available for download, or better yet open-source their old releases. That way we can be more confident, when archiving pages that no longer render correctly, someone will be able to actually view them.
Read up on “cargo cults” and “cargo cult agile” and it makes a lot more sense.

There are some genuinely good ideas in SCRUM and other development methodologies. But trying to codify those ideas into a set of rules for newcomers always leads to some degree of misinterpretation.

I don’t know what the solution is, other than to ensure each team has constant input and support from somebody with authority and deep understanding of software development practices...and how often do you find people like that!

I have been working with some extremely smart, hard working computer scientists on a real, hard problem in this space, a problem I've been working on for 6 years. Easily 20 years of work left. I have a great deal of respect for what you are capable of.

The white hot fury was directed at the sophmoric response of hacker_9 which I then used as an exemplar of a few trends in behavior I have watched for over a decade.
No. You don't get to do that. You don't get to call people "the problem" just for making an argument. You don't get to just declare yourself the victor by impugning the character of your opponent. If this style of argumentation is what "soft skills" in tech means, we're heading to a dark place.

We'd had that conversation [1]; and (we thought) the answer was that real circles were not worth the extra complexity, especially since common use-cases could be covered by fake circles. Or at least we thought we'd had that conversation, but it turns out moot if the PM can't retain in is mind, the difference between fake and real circles.

I don't think deference to engineers is useful in this sort of thing. There is a class of people (PMs) who have the hard job of aligning user expectations with the engineered reality. They do this by guiding both the customers and engineers, and to do that, they must understand the real landscape they are guiding people through.

[1] I don't want to imply here that everything was the fault of the PM, it wasn't. But there was definately a class bad things that happened due to this particular kind of non-technical thinking.
I don't think anyone is looking for perfection, simply not creating a narrative one knows to be false.

The CNN fish feeding story was deliberately created by zooming film at the point the Japanese leader dumped their fish food, then zooming out again to show Trump dumping his, then writing text to support the fake narrative.

The Mark Duggan 'unarmed' headline was immediately followed by a story which revealed the suspect was armed.

The retracted CNN Russia stuff might have simply have been gross incompetence though so your point does apply there.

Shorter supply lines to components and materials probably matters more than shorter supply lines to consumers. Plus, logistically speaking, China has a huge domestic market and a lot of manufacturing should probably be located there to minimize overall shipping costs.

I'm no biology person either, but in terms of photons, I do find these interesting;

'Biological tissues typically produce an observed radiant emittance in the visible and ultraviolet frequencies ranging from 10−17 to 10−23 W/cm2 (approx 1-1000 photons/cm2/second).[1] This low level of light has a much weaker intensity than the visible light produced by bioluminescence, but biophotons are detectable above the background of thermal radiation that is emitted by tissues at their normal temperature.

While detection of biophotons has been reported by several groups,[2][3][4] hypotheses that such biophotons indicate the state of biological tissues and facilitate a form of cellular communication are still under investigation,[5][6] and claims that biophotons are responsible for physical healing are unsupported. Alexander Gurwitsch, who discovered the existence of biophotons, was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1941 for his mitogenic radiation work.[7]'
