It's reasonable to expect that some people would want and need to live near their families.
I do not agree with parts of #3. There needs to be a different way. You cannot require developers to maintain github projects in there spare time. This truly will weed out amazing developers who have families, who prefer to have non dev hobbies, who volunteer a lot of their spare time, etc... You know, people who might actually be interesting to work with.
Engadget is reporting this as well: https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/20/microscope-3d-cell-funct...

They link to Harvard Medical School report which is more detailed: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/boldly-go?

“In a new study in the April 20 issue of Science, researchers from Howard Hughes Medical Institute's (HHMI) Janelia Research Campus, Harvard Medical School and collaborating institutions report the development of a microscope capable of capturing 3-D images and videos of cells inside living organisms in unprecedented detail.”

Mind-boggling detail. Stunning imagery. I wonder what the key advances here were to ramp up the resolution. There's nothing like seeing something in real-time with your own eyes. I can well imagine this will lead to an explosion of medical advances. Funny, I always thought physics was "sexier" than "chemistry" which in turn was "sexier" than biology. I'd say I got that dead wrong.

No, they were managers. They just understood that good management is being a leader. Trying to micromanage and compel people to do what you want is inefficient compared to inspiring people to want the same things as you, and helping them coach them so they grow into more effective, productive versions of themselves.
I'll throw out one more, which is that Rust does a great job at running on a diverse set of platforms(this is distinct from architectures).

If you wanted to run one codebase across Desktop(Win32, OSX, Linux), Mobile(Android, iOS) and Web(Asm.js/WASM) you'd usually have to resort to a scripting(perf-impact) or C/C++(compiler differences, poor dependency management).

With Rust I can do all that one from one Cargo.toml and a codebase that just works for all my platforms(modulo any forking inside libs that use "target(win32)", etc).

For someone who's done that most of their career it was amazing to see how solid and straightforward that is with Rust.

I always found the language in RFCs better than legalese. Just the fact that they specify up front what the words must, shall, required, etc mean makes it less ambiguous. I feel lawyers use the ambiguity of language to bend the law in the way they need at the moment.
Lots of losses aren't deductible, there is no a-priori reason to assume bitcoin losses would be.

You can lobby to have tax treatment of cryptocurrency changed, of course, but you are still bound by the law(s) under which you are tax resident. And they all have weird corners.
> cryptocurrencies are not taxed on capital gains?

Stocks are also property, and they are certainly taxed on capital gains.

> If it is considered property then do people need to calculate their base price, profit and then pay taxes?

Yes.
Why do you assume he sucks working in a team and that the other team members were not the issue?
If you think in terms of pure performance - social interactions, adoption just take too much brainpower, energy and time. If the management is smart, hiring the people who lack (and do not spend the time to that) those social interaction skills can improve the team performance to new heights. What is tricky in that case - the synchronization of the tasks and progress in the team, but this can be done externally by the manager and software.
It's not "convenient", it's necessary. If the sun absorbed radiation in this way, you would not be able to see it. You can only receive information from photons that you absorb (and hence are emitted by something else), not from ones that you emit and are absorbed by something else. That's why you can never see a black hole.
Never heard about fdb but the concept is very intriguing. We know many nosql db on top kv store rocksdb or level db (like dgraph before moving to new storage engine). That it still needs more to write until it can be called distributed and scalable.
By using foundation db we can skip many parts and focus on other part like query language and API. That's why I like the layer concept, unfortunately the is very little documentation about it. Found some layer written in python in the repo, but I don't understand where is the position of layer in the general architecture. I thought it would like plugin but I think that's not the case.
No, it's profit = revenue - costs.

But it doesn't matter to this particular decision which is weighing one cost (technical debt) against another cost (fixing said debt.) There is no revenue in the calculation at all to consider, just costs.

Your ethical argument is a bit weak. If society sees Bitcoin as a bad thing then there's no reason why they shouldn't slap a huge tax on any gross transaction, be it 34% or 340%. There are many ways to view cryptocurrencies in a bad light. It is a scheme that some claim seeks to subvert the fiat money systems that are controlled by these national tax authorities, so you can see why they would be upset. It is also, to a large extent, just gambling. Finally, it is a money system mainly used by organized criminals to launder money. In short there is no ethical argument against taxing it, any more than there is against US tax code for gambling (you cannot deduct a net gambling loss against your other income in USA).
The tech industries proverbial "thoughts and prayers"
I found that some environments foster the atmosphere of terror where any person voicing any concern is a threat to others and especially to the person that is responsible for the component being criticized.

This is of course completely wrong approach, if people are not free to voice concernes the problems will not be detected and corrected. Over time this inevitably leads to the kind of problems that you have experienced.

It is probably good idea to observe and try to understand before you start really interacting within your new environment. It is easy to break some unwritten rule and each company and team has its own, sometimes very surprising ones.

In your situation I would probably observe for a bit and note without voicing any concernes. As soon as you start being critical you run the risk of people stopping being honest with you (if they ever were) which will greatly impede your chances of achieving any success.

I would try to earn their trust by helping instead of criticizing noticing that in this particular environment, criticizing is not a tactic that will get you anywhere.

Help them, let them take some credit. This is probably the best way to make some trust credit which you will need later.

Do not criticize ANYTHING unless you are prepared to fix it, yourself. Always highlight there is a difference between bitching and constructive criticism.

Under no circumstance direct your criticism at people. They are already feeling unsafe. This is the surest way to make enemies. Do try to talk to them to figure out a way out of the problems but always 1:1.
That might be true to some extend, but many languages have completely different target audiences. People whose favourite language is Go, will probably not move to Scala (and vice versa). Kotlin vs Scala is an easier to understand competition.

In any case, if people want other people to invest in "their language", they should focus on making that language and its ecosystem compelling to use, not bash other languages...
> You have to realize a team that's been there before you has done things in certain ways for certain reasons

This is a fundamental insight that a lot of people don’t seem to get. I always refer to this quote to drive home the same point: “There is no such thing as a dysfunctional system, because every system is perfectly aligned to achieve the results it currently gets.”

I'd agree that the turning point was OK Computer. While that record shows that the turning point wasn't as abrupt as it's often made out to be, OK Computer was the first time a lot of Radiohead listeners went 'huh?!' and either accepted or rejected this new direction. Kid A just affirmed this new direction as more than just some 'influence'.

This makes me realize I don't know how the American system works. You file your taxes to private companies? Then they send it to the IRS? You can't just fill a form, online or on paper, and send it to the administration yourself?
The answer is a bit nuanced and I am suggesting that it is the case, perhaps about the same instead of being exactly the same. You can argue that the apparent cost of not studying hard in is wildly different in these two countries (basic welfare support vs complete lack thereof). Yes, I agree that when you look at providing for basic material comforts in dire circumstances it obvious which country a person ought to choose, when presented with this hypothetical choice.

But that simply fails to capture the stresses of everyday life. The average person on welfare checks can hardly be assumed to happy and is probably facing intense, if subtle, negative societal feedback for the choices he is forced to make. Do you think this person is happy to eat at McDonalds and wear cheap clothes when everyone around him is upgrading their smartphones. That's why I say that providing for basic material comforts hardly does much to improve the mental well-being. The pressure to succeed is present everywhere, and failing to do so is stressful in all such circumstances, and I would imagine that it would be roughly the same.

Again this is an article on suicides and it is the most extreme form of pressure that anyone can face. The extent to which we can compare the stress on people that aren't doing well (by societal norms) is hard to pin down exactly, and I don't want to make any bold claims there that the stresses must be exactly the same. But I do see that there is a basic similarity here.

No. Post-college, I didn't need it for my job and I discovered programming - at least at the level that I was enjoying it - was as much, if not more, about logic and breaking problems into pieces. Despite that my lack of math ability felt increasingly like an albatross around my neck. In the same way that one might feel they're missing out by not studying history.

It was only after coming across a quote from Charles Darwin where he mentioned that one of his regrets was that he didn't study math more thoroughly. And that because of that there were entire "conversations" he was missing out on. For some reason I found that both liberating and motivating.

"Me and Charles Darwin, we're not so different you and I." ;-)
> If anyone can recommend a good way to align incentives here, I'd be very interested.

My quick answer which may sound trite is compensation. An organization can compensate the author(s) either during their employment or even after. Yes, after. Award either non-voting shares. Set up a micropay system for each time a current employee "votes" the documented solution.

Documentation (and organization of documentation) is my thing. I hear so much talk and see so little progress. The most expensive work hour is the unbillable hour yet organization after organization continue with status quo of inaction.
> 6. One of your coins forks

I've been advised to report these as regular income, using the value of the asset on the day you received it. For example, if you were holding 1 Bitcoin on August 1 (and therefore received 1 Bitcoin Cash due to the fork) you would report regular income of $294.60 (value of Bitcoin Cash at time of fork). If you eventually sell it, your cost basis is then $294.60.

It sounds like it's being taxed like gambling rather than investing. You don't get to write off a massive loss at the casino, and if you have a net loss you still owe on the nights you came out ahead.
I like the micro just as much as anyone else. But I don't agree that there is just one way to play a game and that if someone wants to deviate from it, somehow that goes against the purity of the established way. Blizzard has benefitted greatly in the past by letting the public mod their games (dota). I don't see anything wrong with extending that to Star Craft.
Why? What's so bad about forcing us to re-evaluate the reasons why given laws are on the books?

Plenty of laws are relevant only to a specific point in time, but they rarely, if ever, get repealed.

Take the US Chicken Tax. It was put in place in the 60s to deal with economic concerns with France and West Germany at the time (which no longer exists as such!). Why shouldn't it have been given an expiration date? Instead, it remains in perpetuity, with its provisions twisted every few years to suit the interests of auto industry lobbyists. This is perverse.
It's kinda sad how they ruined a superb product and replaced with something some par!
> Agreed, but we mustn't fall into the fallacy of assuming that means no language can ever be better or worse than another. There are good and bad language design choices.

Agreed.

> "an implementation of interface foo that returns bar when called with baz" is not some obscure specialized feature

It isn't some obscure specialized feature in Java either.

Foo foo = new Foo() {
public Bar method(Baz baz) {
return new Bar("bar");
}
}

What mocking frameworks do is to provide a DSL to describe behavior of such implementations, use dynamic bytecode generation (not reflection, BTW) to create implementations of the interfaces dynamically, and bind them to simulate various test conditions. What the makes the language "worse" to require or allow doing this?

My Haskell is rusty, but given Haskell psuedocode like:

main :: IO ()
main = do
f <- foo
if (f == 1) then
putStrLn "Got 1"
else
putStrLn "Didn't get 1"

foo :: IO Int
-- ...

how would you test that the two branches of main behave appropriately?

This is not a snark; I am truly interested to know how Haskell gets rid of the need to bind alternate implementations of an interface for testing purposes.
pyspark might be the go-to language for data scientists playing with the spark repl, or MLLib, but for production data engineering, scala is still king.

Besides performance and the obvious fact that not knowing scala makes it difficult to understand the underlying Spark code, there are multiple ways in which scala is more natural to develop in (many libraries are for scala only, for example).

The article suggests this is to a business spat with competitors in the video space, but that misses the overall reality of Prime-only items: That Amazon regularly and arbitrarily marks large swaths of items as Prime exclusive for no other reason than to force people into subscribing to Prime. This can include older Blu-rays that aren't hot items at all, to regular daily items like diapers and shaver blades.

If you try and add a Prime exclusive item to your cart and check out, they'll automatically add the Prime subscription cost to your cart. This is really the sole purpose of this maneuver. And given that it's been recently said that Prime has over 100 million subscribers, this dark pattern seems to work pretty well.
Everyone has always cheated on their taxes; thanks to years of cuts the IRS audit rate on individuals is so low that you never get caught unless your finances get reviewed for some other reason.

I don’t personally do it because my job audits my finances anyway; and the risk just isn’t worth it for me. But for the average person making less than $400k, risk of getting audited is basically nil.

I think you make a good point. The only issue, an important one at that, which I have is the last statement: "And most Indian students, while unable to articulate this, clearly feel these pressures and act accordingly."

Students are younger and much more curious about the world and about what to make of their lives. I would argue its the parents that feel these pressures and transfer that onto their kids. And I don't believe it is simply to give them a good livelihood: both rich and poor parents want their kids to get into these elite institutions. And that is a huge problem.

I grew up in India. While I lucked out that I was naturally inclined to find science and math interesting, a lot of the people I went to college with found it absolutely boring and even torturous to go through their coursework, which was deeply saddening for me personally. I would ask them why they did it if they wanted to do other things? Usually the answer would be because their parents wanted them to be an engineer.

I currently write an application that uses both Rust and Node. Rust for everything that needs strong typing and performance, Node to take advantage of the existing ecosystem. In my mind, this pretty much summarizes the respective advantages of both technologies.

It's really too bad the inverted classroom model hasn't become any more popular.

In a nutshell, the idea is to take the traditional breakdown of what is done in class and what is done at home, and swap it: Kids do their readings and watch recorded lectures at home. And then they work on problem sets and projects in class, typically in groups.

It's a really clever idea. Compared to the traditional model, it has so many interesting advantages: It levels the playing field between kids whose parents have time and inclination to help them with homework and those who don't.
It makes the teacher much more available for questions and any necessary 1:1 assistance. Having kids work together (even on math problem sets!) helps them to learn better, and has the side benefit of giving them more opportunity to develop social skills.

I've heard it criticized for expecting students to have better access to technology at home than they necessarily do. In the case studies I've read about, though, the schools supplied equipment to students who needed it, and the most dramatic relative improvements were seen among the kids from less wealthy families.

When "4G" was initially commercialized, one could have claimed it has No "Material Difference Between 3G and 4G". HSPA(+) was just faster 3G, already reaching lower end of 4G bandwidth requirement, minimally qualifiable as 4G. But has 4G/LTE eventually turned out to be "one generation" better than 3G? Hell yeah.
