As a male engineer I'd be happy to spend half the time going around and chatting, listening, massaging and organizing games to help colleages / team mates destress and feel energized and motivated.

For hetero orientation pairs, opposite gender, can have added destressing effect, if people are skillful at creating a good mood. Effective way to relax and raise morale.

But because that connotes "sex", the Western moral hysteria / panic mode sets in, and people automatically make it mean "bad"/"abusive"/"counter-progressive". Christian legacy programming? They think that makes them "free" but I think constraining narratives around sex to a limited set of negative connotations, just binds them to endless suffering and frustration.

This moral panic is probably partly a psyop. Sexual drive is such a powerful drive, any group who can manipulate / control / or redirect / re-narrate that en masse holds powerful sway over the population. If you can make people hate themselves for their own gender, skin color or sexuality, you have really succeeded in warping / manipulating them for something that should be so positive / neutral. That frustration for the individual that results can then be directed toward whatever would seem to provide the answer. In effect, this psyop can yoke people to a particular cause, such as "progressive liberal politics" that seem to provide the answer to the invented "axes of evil" of "sexuality / skin color / gender", and pretend to lead the way to a "promised land" of equality (? heh) even while dividing everyone into groups and getting them to fight each other. The ultimate aim of all this is probably just crowd control for the population, by "drawing off" excess frustration into such fruitless causes, you can ensure the activation energy of "revolution" / mass civil unrest is never tipped. Also the frustrated will seek other outlets for their stymied desires, so rise in entertainment / consumer culture offering short-term thrills like sucrose, endorphins, etc.

In light of all this -- the 1980s quest for status ( mirrored by current modern day Chinese quest for status ) is more healthy. But without a totalitarian state, and inundated by new technologies that empower individuals, how are you going to keep a society under control in a democracy? Democracy / politics has to end up being a very compelling reality-tv entertainment, and people must "spend" most of their excess energy on fruitless pursuits, to ensure they don't spend it on something such as "overthrowing the state".

And when you want to take the yoke off people, they fight to keep themselves bound up in it. Insisting they are free. Such is the depth of their manipulation.
You have two ways of approaching this:

1. You consider that men and women have identical interests and you strive towards equal representation in your workforce because there is equal representation in society.

2. You consider that men and women have different interests and you strive to accommodate the different interests by diversifying the job offering.

Women tend to be more agreeable than men, more focused on people than things and if you want more women in your company it pays to focus on creating jobs based on relating. For example, I don't have hard data at hand but based on my experience, the IT recruitment field is dominated by women.

The problem is symmetric, and observations will match expectations if you can treat it as such.

Put yourself in the place of the interviewer, who needs to decide on the person they will work with for the next two years. Software Engineering is already hard, and your interviewers are overworked. They are assessing whether you will be able to pull your weight. Their livelihoods are in this at least as much as yours, if not more. Interviewing is no different from cases where you have limited information to decide on a critical issue, like buying a house, choosing a surgeon, voting for town mayor. You have to separate the important flaws from the minor ones, assess the risk, and pick the candidate that is the best investment.

When you are in a technical interview, you are rarely assessed for some generic software engineer ideal, but for skills that the hiring team have in mind. The chances are very low that there will be a match with all positions you apply to, unless you are also very selective about where you apply to on your end.

This may be a naive question, but since I don't use social media at all (save for a pretty dormant linked-in account) I really don't see the use of downloading your photos from a picture sharing site.

Is it because of the contacts you have and would that data be in any usable format?

While I can see the appeal of a photo sharing site to share pictures I would have to be incredibly reckless or stupid to use such a site for archival purposes (let alone that I certainly wouldn't trust them not to wreck my pictures with some heavy handed compression or scaling).

Is it just me who cares about my original images enough to archive them redundantly on a variety of storage media? And if that's not so, why would I ever care to be able to retrieve my pictures from such a site?

Segfaults and other terrible things.

That's a better analogy of course. I've heard of BEAM VM described as an "OS for application code". Nobody would want to put their latest and greatest crown jewel production code on a Windows 3.1 platform, where one segfault in the calculator process takes down the word processor, but that is essentially what is happening when using shared memory and concurrency units (threads, goroutines, co-routines, green threads etc).

I see what you mean about not being able to sell back into a different currency profitably. I need to think about this a little more myself.

On a slightly different note, another relatively minor but important thing to take into account when valuing from fundamentals is the percentage of permanently burned supply. ETH may have a supply of 100M in theory but in practice, maybe it's 70-90M due to private key loss or smart-contract lock.
> This problem is why getting two tests is always a good thing...

It's important to note that the tests results should ideally be as uncorrelated as possible. At worst a test always gives the same result as its first outcome, so further testing would give zero information.

In practice this means that you probably want tests that are based on completely different mechanisms.
The new context API effectively makes variables available globally, but you're still using a separate (explicitly declared) Consumer for each, so you don't have any of the basic issues that go with using a single set of globals.

For a very simple example:

import { UserIdConsumer } from '@/contexts'

const ThisComponent = () => (
<div>
User ID: <UserIdConsumer>{value => value}</UserIdConsumer>
</div>
)

export default ThisComponent
Redux has been great, but after a few years, I've had enough of the action creator and reducer boilerplate, and now just use Proxy objects for external state (with a listener on the handler's setter). It's mutable but hasn't been a problem in practice.
It's worse than that... there's not jist an industry group (ITRS), there's also the foundries making it up themselves. They're buying similar equipment and selling similar transistor densities (except for Intel which has finer geometries and higher densities for a given node), but few are directly compatible on density, clock-rate, or power consumption after 28nm.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Technology_Roa...

Scalling really started falling apart in the late 90s around .25u, and then (incidentally) about the time CPU MHZ stopped scaling... by 65nm both gate and transistor length got wonky. Then after 28nm they moved to fin-FETs and multi-patterning making comparisons even more difficult.

I really enjoyed the code, it is incredibly clever and idiomatic.
I think it is well known the car and petrol companies were heavy lobbyists in developing the transit architecture in the US (including zoning and so on) after the second world war. To exaggerate a bit, the entire country was designed to facilitate automobile sales.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_car_on_societ...

In the continental europe most of the urban centers predate the automobile hundreds if not thousands of years, thus the existing infrastructure does not use the private automobile as one of the key design constraints.

Not so in the US, where huge areas were populated and zoned specifically with the support of the automobile as one of the key constraints.

Once the infrastructure has been built using one design constraint, it's really expensive and difficult to unravel it.

That's a good idea: encourage researchers to focus on a mix of replication and new research. When writing grants, a part of that grant might be towards replicating interesting/unexpected results and the rest for new research. Moreover, given that the experiment has already been designed, replication could end up demanding much less effort from a PI and allow his students to gain some deliberate practice in experiment administration and publication. On the other hand, scholarly publication might have to be changed in order to allow for summary reporting of replication results to stave off a lot of repition.

That's one of my favourite parts of Redux is how flexible it is, use a little bit here and there where it's appropriate. The current project I'm working uses Redux to manage all of the websocket communication but that's it.

Is productivity worth more than sense of morals?
I've built a couple of applications with React. I've spent the last 6 weeks on a contract where I'm building a React based Google maps widget. I'm getting to the point where I'd like to break up a large "smart" component into smaller, more maintainable smart components. So, I'm looking for a state management library to help. I've walked through some training courses at Udemy on Redux and I've built a small personal project with it. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but the boilerplate is really off putting. I feel like I'm being exposed to the internals of a framework that's missing some higher level API abstraction that makes state management less onerous. I think the Rematch library presents a nicer surface API: https://github.com/rematch/rematch. But, I'm hesitant to use it over Redux for client work because I want to make sure I develop something that's easy to hand off, and Redux is sort of king right now. I just spent some time with the apollo-link-state docs. I know it's young, but this does not look like an improvement over the Redux state management API. Hopefully if this is to be the Redux successor, the API will improve with maturity. I kind of wish Ember Data was usable as a standalone library. It looks like such a nice, easy to use wrapper around state and data management.

TOP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS ON DIGITAL MARKETING
I absolutely detest homework assignments, so much so that I don't use them when I hire people for my team. It's a waste of the applicant's time, and as other people have pointed out it is narrowly focused, sometimes not applicable to the entire skill set the applicant can bring to the table, and is typically trainable level material anyways.

I highly prefer to engage the person about their previous projects. Through building good rapport it's easy to determine what they've done and where their passion is focused. If they can't tell me the details of building an X app with Y interfaces and Z databases, then I can figure out they are a bullshitter with only 15-30 minutes of total time wasted. If we can get past that step then we can start talking about more interesting things, like optimizations, scaling out, and our favorite unrelated technology stack and its merits. It's shocking to me that companies feel they need to do more than this these days.

To be fair I work in an At-will state, so if by chance someone does sneak through the process we have a 3-6 month probation period where we make sure they can really do what they say they can. To date this has never been a problem.

The patent system was designed to protect small inventors but it has transformed into a system that protects large monopolies and law firms. For me the big question is, how to get a system that does protect small innovators and inventors? Possibly open source or creative commons? Its really difficult to find the right balance and patents are becoming less relevant to small inventors (Like me)
That's very much dependent on volume. $0.50 @ 1M units = $500,000k.

You'll always see the crunch at high volume it's just small to medium volume where your options open up. Back when I was in the smartphone business we'd easily see 10M+ volume on a single device and the associated BoM was tuned to a tenth of a penny.
One major problem we had with Redux, especially in a large organization where reusability is very important, is that we found it hard to reuse most of the redux logic (reducers/thunks/selectors). The pure components were easily shared across different teams, but most of the other stuff was too much redux or app-specific that we couldn't really reuse it.

We experimented with simply using large stateful react components instead of redux for certain areas of the app, and our reusability improved dramatically.

Any thoughts on how this is tackled by some hardcore redux users?
Nice! Any clue if there is a way this can be enabled automatically on balancers created using kubernetes (on GKE)? That would be really awesome.
Well I don't create the rules. Think of someone who does Judo for 20 years and still only wears a yellow belt. It seems like this person has no skill. The first impression is already negative, if one has a 20 something and a 50 something competing(!) for the same position.

Also the lowest level of each money-making hierarchy is usually where the unacceptable stuff happens. In IT it's this huge amount of new languages, new frameworks, new patterns that a 50 year old usually can't get into that easily anymore, to some degree because he knows it's just a hype that will be over soon. Even being 32 years old I get that feeling quite often already.

And let's say you really want to just code. Why didn't you spend the last 25 years of your career building a network and now simply do consulting work for $300+/h instead of working as employee for less than half?

Now that I said all of it, I have to say that I actually even agree with it. Everybody should have a plan how he builds and spends his career. And "I do the same thing for 30 years" is neither a plan nor a smart thing to do in IT. You could call it the disadvantage of individualism. You're free to do what you want, but that also means you are responsible yourself to find a way that works with the reality you face.

Predicting time and allocating resources is my headache, and while RPA will make that worse, it also supports our primary function in a way that gives our more possibilities than we’ve had in years.

If we can save nurses for 10.000 administrative hours a yearwith RPA, then we’ll absolutely do it, even if it comes at the cost of having more work in operations. I mean, why wouldn’t we? Supporting the business end is our sole purpose of existence.

It’s not that bad though. We mainly use it as a last resort, either as something temporary while we wait for an API or on systems that will never have an API. A lot of these systems are old, one of our mainframe interfaces haven’t changed in 16 years.

On top of that, patch notifications in the public sector are often written solely for end users. This means that it’s actually easier to predict a button changing in an interface than an API breaking.

I’ve seen REST interfaces change, and break, without warning because the REST bit was really just slapped on there by sales.

Our first RPA poc saves us around 9.000 hours a year. It helped us get our case working up to a point where we’re within the legal deadlines (something we’ve never been before) and due to the lower pressure in the department we’ve managed to turn employee satisfaction from a 4/7 to a 5.6/7 and reducing sick leave from 15% to 8.

My department had to hire an extra engineer because if it and the business end had to allocate 1/4 of a yearly position to support the process. The business case is still green financially.

My engineers have never been more wrong. Even if the tech sucks, but that’s still my headache. Because I fully realize I can’t have a CS candidate do drag-and-drop programming full time and keep them happy.
