Thanks for bringing that to attention. Hadn't heard of Corbett before. I'm not immediately sympathetic to a guy killed a bunch of big cats. If they were man-killers, ok, maybe that's reasonable. But I'm still suspicious about who would take up that job.

The claim of killing a tiger with a cheese knife...yeah right. Tigers hunt big prey with sharp tusks and horns. They fight other Tigers from time to time. A dude taking one out with a cheese knife isn't even plausible.
Even better is when they try to forward your resume and come back with "Sorry, but the manager wants X years of experience that they didn't list in the job description for whatever reason".

Well FWIW the real theorists would be utterly offended if they knew I was being put in the same league as they.

The way I see it there are practitioners who care about theory (and take the bother to try and understand some of it, and even more so the consequences on their practical tasks) and there are those who don't.

(Aside : the world of fact-oriented modeling and especially FCO-IM - that's communication oriented modeling - has this stance that our databases are actually not modeled according to how the world is, they are modeled after how our comunications about the world are. An interesting distinction you might want to ponder a bit more deeply.)

I don't hate icons, per se. I just find them hard to use. For whatever reason, I have to think about icons a lot more than words, even after I'm very familiar with them.

Watching others, most folks don't seem to have this problem - words and icons seem about equally fluid for them. And I'm fine if they don't move - I remember them by location. But I'm very slow to 'read' icons.

The most common situation that highlights this is tab-application-switching. Those are never in the same order twice, and I have to stare at them until I can pick out the icon of the app I'm thinking of. I've looked for hacks that would replace the icons with words, but haven't seen one, at least on MacOS.

> There are plenty of capitalists who don't support this kind of degrading, dehumanizing shit.

Unfortunately not the ones that matter on a meaningful scale. I can't imagine worker intel (even just the minimum: browsing on work machines, swipe in/out times, etc) is not being gathered at all Fortune 200 companies. These companies have the walk to the trash can calculated down to a quantitative loss in productive output. The solution? Tiny trash and recycling bins directly by your desk. Human asset management has it's tried and true methodologies, just as any other asset class.

> Google Analytics:
> - Declare clearly what personal information is collected in your privacy policy. Any simple boiler plate avaible ?

If you only want to disclose what kind of personal information you collect, you don't need special clauses. Simply disclose what personal information you collect.

However, a Privacy Policy should include:

- What personal information you collect
- What are you doing with that information (the purposes)
- What controls users have
- Whom you share the information with (third parties)

> Google Analytics:
> - Have a cookie consent banner for EU that is opt-in i.e. no tracking cookies are set until the user says so. Hardly anyone is doing this yet.

You can have a look at https://privacypolicies.com/cookie-consent/ as it's easy to implement with jQuery to categorize non-important cookies to not load before you get consent from users.

> Google Analytics:

You should disclose it in your Privacy Policy and inform users how they can opt-out from behavioral remarketing done by AdWords cookies.
It'd be an interesting turn of events if Google is signaling that its adtech business is flattening (in Europe / due to the GDPR) and is moving to monetize its customer services directly.
I took a resume like this to the career center at my university and got out of that appointment with a lot of disappointment.

I actually found their app pretty simple, but hat might be because i'm an engineer & tend to understand what i am seeing in IBKR app and web site.

Reporting wise, they are the most capable - i needed to apply for a loan, and wanted to hide the list of all securities, i was able to create just that. Pretty flexible, and powerful.

SSAO is not remotely close to raytracing (as done here). This post is not discussing ambient occlusion, but actual direction shadows.

SSAO doesn't sample a path across the depth buffer (because that wouldn't make any sense at all for shading), or consider light direction. This is very much my recollection from many many years ago, but basically my understanding is, but I recall that it's just a random sample of depth information surrounding a given fragment, and uses the depth of those samples relative to the current fragment as a scaling factor for the ambient contribution to to the final fragment light. The end result isn't even remotely close to correct, but again, correct isn't the same as being looking good enough (or even just looking good - in games you don't have totally control of how a scene may be seen by a player. Incorrect lighting can often be far superior to correct lighting from a gameplay pov.
That word 'obviously' is dangerous here. People vastly overinterpret online comments, especially when it comes to who's trolling (or astroturfing or shilling, etc.) They routinely accuse others of this when it turns out not to be the case. From a careful reading of their comments I don't think that user is trolling at all, but rather is telling the truth (and such data as we can find in the logs confirms it).

Now consider the downside if you're wrong. Isn't it obvious that posting like this is a terrible idea?

People with suicidal feelings often say things that don't make sense to others. That's a consequence of their being—for whatever reason—in an extreme situation. The particular detail they're expressing the most pain about can seem absurd, if you don't know what else it connects to. But if you were to find out what it connects to, you'd no longer find it absurd, nor would you feel annoyed or dismissive, and you'd surely feel bad about hurting someone in that position.

It would also help with things like the 'Patriot Act.' That bill was passed when the country was in a state of mindless panic, yet it lingers today. The government doesn't want to get rid of it since it massively expands their power, but at the same time - if they actually had to vote on it again, it would be extremely difficult to justify.

Is this some kind of sarcasm I'm not getting? PATRIOT Act in fact had expiring provisions, and government in fact did vote to extend it, three times actually.

In my opinion anime tends to be less childish, and better done than american animation. The sexualization is a bit concerning, but I think that's just different cultural values.
Yeah, no disagreement there. Worth noting though, I didn’t mention anything about lifestyle / autonomy on the call. And if I did take a job I would adjust myself for that aspect of it. That’s one of the reasons why the pay needs to be good.
It's changed over time. 30 years ago, paper recycling wasn't mainstream and paper bags were made from Amazonian forests.

And even with recycling, you have to account for costs including not only energy but also chemical pollution caused by manufacturing process.

And then there's the question of which items get re-used. The reusable bags haven't proven to be much of a win because not only do they cost more in energy, materials, and pollution to create, people still forget them at home and buy new ones each time.
1) Don't bait and switch

Recruiter: "Hi you seem like a perfect fit for <company you like> can I set you up with them?"

Me: "Yeah sure why not"

Recruiter: "Actually you aren't a good fit for that role but how about <buzzwordy startup>"

What's most annoying is that between the bait, and the switch, I've not talked to anyone new or given them any new information about my skills or technical past. They knew what they were gonna do from the beginning.
The moment they come out with a Linux client, the moment I will be a customer.
at least it's easier to spot though
I don't think this is smugness. The "green movement" (not that there is a single point of contact) usually advocates first and foremost for the reduction in consumption before recycling -- step zero is to use less of things, not just use greener alternatives, because even those require natural resources at some stage in their production.

Energy intensive processes used for example to create wind turbines can in the future be replaced by greener alternatives; just because the current solution doesn't immediately improve things in one respect, it can lay the foundations for future improvement. Think of it as rebasing a company's business logic from an old COBOL monolith to a bunch of modern, independent services that someone in 5 years from now has a chance of understanding (just replace "5" years with "50", which brings to mind the nuclear power plants designed in the 60s peppering the western world).

I think the argument for renewable energy would still be valid even if turbines and solar panels were much more expensive to build than traditional varieties, because they are tapping in to renewable energy supplies that make us less dependent on the whims of middle eastern dictatorships. The thing that sells the concept to governments isn't how much energy they require to produce, it's the renewable energy sources they tap into and the diversification of grid supply from monolithic, sparse power plants (and the geopolitics they couple) to local, maintainable facilities.
I had also this response: nonsense mixtures of conversions could be diagnosed by the compiler or possibly at run-time.

Example:

foo.c:123:warning: strftime week-based year %G mixed with non-week-based elements.

You'd never use the week-based year %G with a regular month %m or day %d; the combination is suspicious and probably wrong.

Probably, %G is used for formatting a year-week date, like %G-%V: week-based year, plus week-in-a-weak-based year.

I'm not a big fan of run-time warnings that spew something to stderr and the like, and aborting a C program because strftime was called with %G and %m in the same date string seems awfully wrongheaded. It could occur with dynamic strings. These kinds of things could only be done with some API adjustment.

Higher level languages which wrap strftime have more leeway in implementing some of these ideas.

I think you're right, and that that be great in my opinion. I'd love for this to be the start of Google being less dependent on ads across some of their currently free products. If a "Google One" subscription guaranteed that Gmail and other services were no longer mined for ads, that would be a great thing. It might allow them to maintain the ads-based model for free users, while providing a single subscription for people who are willing to pay. In a way that offering subscriptions for each individual product wouldn't be feasible due to the complexity of marketing/managing so many at once.

Up until recently it was a County/City issue across California, cities and counties instituted their own bans, but not universally.

Now there is a statewide ban on plastic bags, and a fee charged for paper bags.

Years ago, I felt burned when I wrote several articles for #AltDevBlogADay, and they vanished. I have much more confidence that what I write on FB won't vanish.

I think the term "IP" is meant to highlight the one big similarity they share. We recognize that this thing, which is more of an idea than an object, belongs to an entity (person/company/government/whatever), and that entity has control over some of the finer details of how that thing is used. That's even pretty readily apparent in the term itself: "intellectual property", property that is more of a thought than a thing. Maybe it's a bit euphemistic, and to someone with Stallman's beliefs, the propagation of the term probably seems more than a bit dystopian, but it's still a useful umbrella.
Anecdotally, I worked for an advisory and reporting company that produced reports and ranked them in a hazily defined index (the company was later bought by another, larger advisory company). The way the sausage was made was not pretty. The research staff consisted largely of recent ivy league graduates with little experience or knowledge of the domain or of statistical methods. Data was largely collected from the web. Initially, collection was done by hand, but we were working to automate as much as possible (though the leadership did not quite appreciate the need to invest in tech and did not understand the dao of building software services). In some cases, the data collected was woefully below the minimum sample size you'd need to be justified in drawing any sort of meaningful conclusions (there wasn't even a sense of what a minimum sample would look like, and not much concern about these things when these issues were brought up to management). I recall researchers telling me that the metrics and ranking were adjusted for important clients, something that smells to me like pay-to-play. The data science team was wholly unqualified. The management across the board was unqualified. The article suggests insider trading practices inside consulting companies. I had a similar suspicion, though not something I can prove, that insider knowledge was being laundered through cooked data and presented as "rigorous, data-driven insight".

The impression I got of this space:

1. Clients, usually executives within large, billion dollar companies, don't really mind spending what for them are pennies on a subscription from a company that claims to know what's up when they feel they don't. They see a company with certain associated credentials and trust the advice.

2. Executives, wishing to justify their own decisions, want to cover their own asses by appealing to "experts". Their employers may come across those reports, see their company ranking highly, and say "Wow, Bob. You've done a great job." It matters little how meaningful the data analysis is. The data analysis is just decorative.

3. The ranking in reports become a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. If you rank highly in an advisory report on a certain kind of product, and readers of that report believe the ranking, then this can lead to more sales or whatever.

To be fair, this isn't some kind of Newtonian mechanics. You can't take a bunch of data and just have all your conclusions fall out as a tidy positions in space and time. I am not making the claim that advice cannot be given or that these things cannot be researched to produce meaningful insight. I also do not claim that there are no companies out there producing valuable research. However, my personal experience does make me wonder. Even if and when the claims in the research are true, the appeals to data can become little more than a game of appearances. Maybe, in relative terms, they're not in much worse shape than academia with its data massaging, p-value hacking scandals, and unreplicated/unreplicable studies.
That always seemed wrong to me, isn't politics about the separation of powers, why do we allow them to exert control like that?
I have a hard time designing the UI on https://editfight.com because it’s supposed to be easy and simple and obvious on both desktop and mobile, but there’s almost no space on mobile. So I resorted to icons at first and then moved half the icons to a pop out menu and turned them back into words. The only icons left are ones that are either obvious or easily learnable and memorizable. And I had to change a few and even draw a few myself (SVG) because they were too similar to each other. There’s still one I’m not super happy with but it’s a very strange feature that only makes sense when you finally need it. Icon design and UI design in general is very hard to get 100% right for everyone.

I've always had S/mime in the back of my mind as an alternative for intranet/internal secure messaging (with optional escrow/archiving) - the assumption being that users would all have certs, there'd be a directory (ldap) - and things would be ok-is(granted metadata would be an issue).
Never had i dreamt that S/mime didn't use a sane authenticated cipher configuration (if only by public key signature wrapping traditional ciphertext).

I mean that was the whole concept of S/mime, right? Federated key/trust and public key cryptography?
Tuchman in her heyday was the recipient of an enormous amount of opprobrium from her generation of academic historians (of which the nearly-fossilized Bachrach is a member), mostly for being a non-academic, extremely successful female popular historian. Modern academics are generally much more positive about her work. Just remember that it's an introductory popular history.

This article seems to totally go against my personal experience, that maintaining a suite of applications of varying languages in prod and dev is made a lot easier through containerization and standardizing on top of that. The same can be done with VMs but the container orchestrators (kube/etc) are usually closer to the level of abstraction the developers need (docker -> puppet)
Very much disagree that those things are clear.

- Obviously the clock is time related, but there is no clue how. After reading this, I still don't know what it does. Is it a "remind me later" icon?

- The right pointing rectangle is too abstract. I agree with the article that it looks like a road sign, or like gmail's own "importance" markers. IMO, if they rotated it 45 degrees and put a hole in the point, it would be much more clear.

Yup. Sounds like less "technical" interface to a web server. I remember in high school we all had shell accounts on the school server, but you actually had to learn SCP and some basic Linux usage to make it work.
