Perspective.

Take a step farther back, and look across a longer period of time, you’ll find that historically, there was no such thing as mass media. It’s the anomaly.

The norm through far more of human history has been ‘small time’ content producers making money through independent productions.

We have a recent blip where mass media has disrupted ten thousand years of indie artists and troupes. Ideally we figure out how to get back to art for art’s sake, instead of for ads.
At 32 Giga-base pairs, ten times the length of the human genome. The Axolotl salamander possesses one of the largest genomes known in the animal kingdom. And is thought contain genes that are key to regeneration and rejuvenation. The assembly of such a large genome is itself an algorithmic "marvel". Extinction would mean the end of natural evolution in its wild state. And with it, the possible termination of whatever mysterious process was iterating it to its possible endgame of age defying immortality!

>So the promise of economic justice erodes over time, as lucky insiders come to dominate rent-controlled apartments, especially because having gotten their hands on an absurdly cheap apartment, said elites are loathe to move and free up space for others.

So Megan's response is just not to pursue economic justice at all? It doesn't make any sense, of course the powerful will try to erode justice for the powerless, that's just society, that doesn't mean we stop pursuing justice. It means we become even more vigilant about it.
The point is you cannot trust your intuition, even if it is based on your own experience, to determine what works well.

As an example, 'regression to the mean' ensures that it seems like blaming works better than praising.
Yes, I'm inclined to believe that rent control is a symptom, not the cause. The cause appears to be ridiculous zoning and building restrictions. If more housing is available such that the price drops, then rent control isn't even needed.
When I was a kid, mom would do the grocery shipping once every 2 weeks. She'd load the five kids into the van and we'd trek over and fill 2 shopping carts with 10 boxes of breakfast cereal, 2 gallons of milk, 2 pounds of bacon, 8 pounds of hamburger, 24 cans of Campbell's soup...

Flash forward to 2018 and my wife is buying things online to the point that we're getting 4-6 items delivered per week. I'd guess that's not exceptional.

With 'free delivery' for under $35, I can see her increasing that to on average one delivery item per day.

Kind of like the milk man used to do.

What concerns me is that the amount of energy that goes into getting all that stuff into my home seems to have substantially increased, and, will continue to increase as more businesses incorporate low cost or free delivery.

So it makes me wonder where this ends. It seems we'll wind up with delivery trucks, perhaps autonomous electric vehicles, combing the suburbs throughout the day.

I keep contemplating the extremes: 149 items acquired in one trip the way my mom used to operate, vs.149 items delivered to my home one at a time over a 2 week period. What are the trade-offs?

In Electrical Engineering, which the article often mentions as a counterexample, the 10-year veteran is not nearly as likely to drop out of the profession. Programming has a constant bleed-out of people who learning how to program, became veterans, and then were dismayed to discover that they were going to have to do it all over again, because the libraries, frameworks, languages, etc. were different. Some just do it, but some move into management or out of the field entirely. This happens in engineering as well, but not nearly as often, and it means there is a more nearly constant shortage, I think.
I'd guess this is due to the million aspects that configure that purposefully abstract 'Quality of life' metric.

In the end, it all comes down to: why are these people, who could do it, not moving from the Netherlands to the UK or US?

Actually, imagine that rather than writing the reviews themselves, Elsewhere simply asked other road builders to evaluate the roads of their peers for free. That's the situation in publishing -- the publishers don't even do the peer review -- they get content for free from authors, get peer review for free from reviewers, and then charge readers to access the final papers!

London housing still has a fair number of long-settled subsidized tenants who no longer need subsidized housing, but "council-homes-for-life" is in place and confers huge advantages to incumbents, which hardly seems fair. Basing access on need, this is not.

I have lived in various parts of Central London in mixed social housing, always as a market rate tenant (I am fortunate enough to afford it as a software engineer) and sympathize with the laments of poorer tenants who are occasionally booted out of their homes due to some housing development or other, complaining about the breakups of their communities and their families. But what about people who HAVE to leave their communities and families in order to make the most of opportunities when they arise? Is there an easy answer?
Yes, exposing a block device over USBMS is a solved problem.

Exposing files from a device's internal storage (which is ext4 in this case) over USBMS is very much not a solved issue. You'd have to copy the files back and forth or write a driver which emulates a FAT filesystem.

The alternative would be to use FAT internally and expose that block device, risking corruption (you have no control over what is done to your poor filesystem).

None of my Android phones can do that. In fact, Android used to expose the raw device in earlier releases and stopped doing it because it was too unreliable and the UX was bad since the filesystem had to be unmounted.

I guess window functions are advanced features, but I found it a little bit basic. Some things you could do to make it more advanced:

* have questions which discuss default behavior regarding ordering and partitioning
* Have questions which rely on things like RANGE 3 PRECEDING or other constructs

A side note, since the later Retina MBPs, the trackpad no longer has a physical button - a linear motor thumps the non-moving pad surface when you push hard enough to register a click (and I can't tell the difference, it's brilliantly implemented). So really, tap-to-click is the only thing that works - the difference between it and what used to be a physical 'click' is disappearing.

IMO there's a more general problem with how easy it is to extend widgets in a toolkit when you make use of a scripting layer on top of the toolkit. Even with a nice API, it's difficult to cover all the edge cases when the C/C++ vs high level language barrier exists.

The only non-trivial Ruby based GUI I've built has ended up with a custom toolkit as a result of trying to avoid these sorts of API barriers. The building a new toolkit without the API barrier does result in some lost functionality, some NIH syndrome, but it does provide a bunch of extra flexibility.

I would like to see a stream processing library ported to pure Python. For example, Java 8 Stream API, Scala Stream API, Spark RDD API, jOOL API. They're all similar.

That is, I would like to have an iterator in Python in which I could do:

from statistics import mean
from niceportedlib import Stream

salaries = Stream([]) # Some data here
mean_salary_by_department = salaries.group_by(lambda v: v['department']).map_values(statistics.mean)

Pandas does help, but is not pure Python (has native dependencies).
Of course it is not the ONLY reason.

The difference between the UK and the US is that UK healthcare professionals have a legal duty ("Duty of Candour") to tell you when they've made a mistake; what they're going to do to fix the mistake; and what they're going to do to prevent the mistake from happening again.

This is enforced by all of the HCP registration bodies (GMC for doctors; NMC for registered nurses and midwives; HCPC for allied health professionals). It's also supported by the NHS Litigation authority (the body who'll pay out for negligence claims, or defend those in court), and various medical protection organisations (the legal organisations that represent HCPs in court cases). The MPTS (the tribunal service that holds hearings in fit-to-practice cases) also strongly recommends that HCPs apologise in full.

In England and Wales we have a bit of law ("The Compensation Act") which means an apology outside a court for something that went wrong isn't an admission of liability, which makes it a bit easier for HCPs and their employers to apologise.

We have a standardized bundle of rights that shields the person that possesses that bundle from many (but not all) price increases in a living space. It's called ownership.

If a city thinks that certain people should be protected in that way, it should buy the proprieties and give them to those favored people. Trying to unbundle ownership and tenancy to mix and match them, at a city level with only acquiescence as opposed to enthusiastic collaboration from state and federal governments, as well as quasi-governmental institutions, is not going to work well.

This comment and its replies are what happens when you refute an assertion without evidence
I think that’s a touch more complex a problem than you’re making it out to be.

Maybe you were born in the right place for the economical opportunity for someone born “lower” (please be generous with my terms here), but maybe it’s that these others were born “higher” to a place where higher education is easier to accumulate granting them a severe advantage competitively should you have to compete in an economic arena on the same level.

Or do we accept that being born to an economic disadvantage due to whatever factors mean you should be solely relegated to your caste of manual labour, service occupations, or direct servitude?

Second to that problem is what value does higher education really have in application in what are varied circumstances.

My understanding was the founding of the US was quite counter to that idea— and it’s one ideal that many countries have thankfully sought to incorporate.

Though I think you’re on to a problem—one that includes the consideration that current rules don’t exactly line up with the values we might wish to pursue as a (human, global) society. Partly because it might be necessary in what appears to be a period of transition.

It's probably a function of going to a brand name school + killing the Google style interviews. If you do that and have multiple offers you probably get the average up. SV in general is nuts wrt to housing and rent so that's going to steadily push things up as well. Then certain markets are winner take all so it makes some sense to "over" pay for talent. This would create a bimodal distribution as well. If you work as a software eng in a biotech your pay will probably be less than at Google on average b/c the biotech has less need for a highly qualified say distributed systems engineer. So they will accept a different candidate out of the talent pool. Also the talent may want to work at the biotech for reasons other intangible reasons. H1B is just a guarantee for some employees over some term. So H1B sets the bottom of the market really. There is no reason to work a job or somewhere that pays less than an H1B level wage unless you've got some crazy stock options or something.
That's also likely real opposition, people with inflated assets want them to stay inflated.
I'm the same. I had an Xperia Z5 Compact but it was terrible - would frequently overheat and slow the phone to a crawl. Sony insisted there was nothing wrong with it.

Samsung actually does have a not bad small device - the A3: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a3-6762.php. Problem is that it doesn't work with the US LTE bands I need it to. Right now I'm waiting to see what the iPhone SE 2 looks like...
True. Well observed. How would you resolve this?

So when I take the median wage by state table, there are 11 states with negative wage growth between 2009 and 2016 and another 16 states where the total inflation adjusted wage growth is less than 5% between those years. That's more than half the country that is either not feeling a recovery at all or is feeling a pretty damn slow one.

Edit:

Actually looking at this a little more, take the year 2000 (all inflation adjusted numbers.)

The lowest fifth of workers have seen wages fall 8.6%. The second fifth of workers have seen wages fall 2.42% in that time, the third fifth has seen wages only rise 0.45%. This is not what I would call a strong time period for workers.

And here is a small suggestion, you might want to change the name of output column "unique" in Q3 because.

*expression* as unique --does work and is recommended answer
*expression* unique --fail because of use of a restricted word
*expression* "unique" --work because of double quote

Using a restricted word that need quotation in some context is globally discouraged and in this context can keep someone stuck independently of the problem at stack.

PS: also apply to "position" in Q4 maybe thats intentional?

I had the same thought process.

One point to note is that a delivery guy might deliver to multiple people in your neighbourhood, so his driving is amortised over those orders, whereas when you drive the shops you're making the whole journey for yourself.

If delivery was organised extremely efficiently, e.g. a single delivery service that delivers everything at the same time as the post, it's no doubt that it would be much more efficient than individuals going to the shops themselves. So we're on a spectrum where the extremes are "much better" and "much worse" than pre-internet, but it's not clear to me where we are on the spectrum; in particular, it would be interesting to know whether the net energy consumption has increased or dropped.

I always wonder if some of the veteran drop-out in programming is that improvement (in my lone experience anyway) is couple with/ consists of realizing what else could go wrong. Every step up the ladder of experience affords a better view of how things can fail and that can be hard to deal with. I feel like I keep getting slower as I get older but not simply because of age; some of it is the motivation to sit down and write something that is probably going to come back and bite me in the ass (possibly through no fault of my own) later on down the line. A lifetime of programming means a whole horde of problems to think about at night.

I think both options are used. You can either be an employee with a set termination date when starting, or a contractor invoicing for your hours.

Contractor should have a higher hourly rate than employee because taxes, benefits, etc., but doesn't short term employment also carry a premium because it's uncertain compared to regular employees?
