Good point. Does that change the economics model to one closer to Netflix, where the goal of the development costs is to hook more people into the subscription?
I base this on Michael J. Parsons five-stage model for aesthetic development from childhood to adulthood (and professional interpretation)[0]. But I think that it applies here, since deciding whether insects are cute or gross is very much an aesthetic judgment.

Here[1] is for example a paper linking the work to theatre:

> In the specific domain of visual art, Michael Parsons has proposed a
developmental framework of aesthetic epistemology that describes how we move through stages or “sets of ideas” when discussing artworks’ subject matter, artists’ expressions, the forms and styles of visual media, and our judgments about each of these concepts. Like epistemologists, he marks the boundary of each stage by cognitive shifts in: 1) our primary mode of inquiry (i.e., perception, interpretation, and evaluation), 2) our expectations about the purposes of art, 3) our primary sources of artistic knowledge, and, 4) our primary criteria for making evaluative claims. Numerous studies in the visual arts have supported his framework with various populations, yet to date no one has offered an analogous epistemological framework for the domain of theatre.

One criticism of Parsons' model is that it's hierarchical in a way that implicitly suggests that later stages are "better" than earlier stages (in typical Western fashion). Then again, it is tied to cognitive development and growing more mature so how could you not end up with a staged one-follows-the-development-of-the-other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. For a more recent, more elaborate model that is inspired by Parsons' model, see[2].

You just lost your credibility.
I learned a lot about the habits of intelligent affluent people. My sample size is very low, but it was an interesting year in that regard since I've never seen anything quite like it. Some things seem obvious, some didn't, you'll learn them a lot faster if you're somehow in the middle of it.

Warning: based on anecdata

* Look at a cosmopolitan city center. Everyone who owns a house debt free there is rich.

* Look again at said center, most likely the owners aren't from your country (except US probably).

* Conservative rich people invest heavily in the housing market.

* The amount of rich people having some emotional understanding of working on a per hour basis, or working for a normal wage in general, is low.

* I've seen people in a relationship from different income classes, some definitely have it tough to understand each other. I haven't seen anyone break because of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened with a fraction of them. Hypothetical example, combine it with stereotypical gender ideals (e.g. man must pay) and a SO (woman) that has expensive hobbies, the working-class man cannot keep up.

* My prediction on: the rich friend determines what's going to happen if he/she pays was dead on. I also predicted it might erode such a relationship when money comes too much into play, which I was partially right about.

* The claim that most wealth is inherited seems to be true from my personal experience. Consequently, most people don't know how to get rich but how to stay rich.

* Some rich people get a really amazing education and are polymaths by the time they get into their twenties. Some rich people are more the opposite.

* All in all, I feel money is a multiplier on a lot of things. I know that, for me, money will be a multiplier on the expression of my personality. If you are into new age stuff, then as a rich person you have a new age house, for example. If you're a sci-fi person, then you'll have a techy house.

* People don't value your computer science degree at all if they studied a shitty study program (any) and hate university because of it and don't have experience with hiring CS grads. It turns out, that's still a rather large group.

* Corollary: people don't evaluate your experience in the right way.

* When people see the word "internship" they see it as no experience, despite the fact that the programming work was more demanding than most employees there.

* Interviewing in startups doesn't follow any sane process. To do: I need to figure out how to to get some understanding on a startup's culture in less than 2 hours.

Thanks for the question, these 12 months have been emotionally weird. I guess I needed to vent a bit. Dealing with income inequality from so close all of a sudden feels tough, but I'm fine right? So why should it be? Hence it's weird.
Those aren't even close to the only two issues reported. They're just the most visible.

Operating systems are sticky. If there is no up-to-date Mac hardware when I want a new computer, I will switch to Windows/Linux and not come back. Apple's strategy is one for slowly killing the Mac (but they can't intend that because they keep pumping out new versions of macOS like clockwork). I can't detect any logic in what Apple is doing.

With all due respect to the average consumer (including myself), I don't think their input is particularly valuable. They want lower prices for goods and for people not to be laid off. I don't think the average consumer has much to offer on Vietnamese shrimp subsidies and their effect on the global supply chain. Getting input from businesses doesn't mean blindly following them, but they do have a lot of information to offer.

I think OP means that birth mothers get a little more time than fathers and adoptive parents. Having a baby is rough on the body, and there's a lot more to the physical recovery afterwards than most people realize. For example, if you have a c-section, it takes approximately 6 weeks to recover from that, and there are certain physical side effects that make it more difficult to work from an office until recovery is complete.

So that part is more like medical leave than parental leave (even though you're also parenting at the time).
The startup sound runs before the OS is even booted - maybe even before the OS bootstrapping process starts. I remember being amused that they'd taken up space inside my incredibly packed C2D Mac Mini for a speaker whose sole purpose seemed to be to play this short audio clip. Not even one of those tiny piezo beeper things - a proper speaker capable of some volume!

The statement itself isn't true, either. And our industry suffers through it time and again, thinking that a social problem can be solved with engineering.

It never can, but you can sure burn a lot of money trying.
You seem to only be considering the fuel saving of the higher altitude. If we're considering a ground based mass driver launch, rather than a conventional rocket-only launch, then I think there would be a substantial practicality gain from firing into thinner air.

At the proposed 5000mph, air resistance at sea level would be tremendous. Greater atmospheric losses would entail either bringing more fuel to complete the orbit, or larger launch loop / greater acceleration force.
You are wrong: the project I described is real but was most assuredly not for the company you worked with (for a start, it was for a big Utilities company... in Italy).

I just wanted to explain what happens to all the effort-saving nice little apps that people wrote to solve a real problem in the workplace... and I wasn't picking up on you specifically, I am sure you did your best and that using the tool at the time made perfect sense.

It's just that the real problem (IMHO) has never been "wow with Lotus Notes or whatever I am really productive even if I am not a full fledged developer" - the real problem is who takes responsability for it and how much of a struggle it will be to move the functionality back to a properly intgrated application.

(So apologies, it was just a rethorical trick on my part).
It's a pretty awesome game. You basically choose the music that plays for the night (has a great soundtrack), and then just talk to whoever comes in and occasionally make them a drink.

You eventually start to figure out what exactly happened in a huge event that plays out, thanks to the secrets from your clientele.
2 years ago I got a 2013 model Macbook Air with 512GB SSD / 8GB RAM for app development. Turns out I now use it as my daily driver and I had preordered the original Surface Book. Being a Windows user something made me switch (first Mac with an SSD and an ultrawide monitor).

I basically leave it docked all the time. I really want to upgrade because I need more RAM and for video editing. But to give you an idea, I'm using it perfectly fine with XCode running docker containers with Mongo/Neo4j etc. Email, web and office stuff is no issue at all.

I paid about £940 ($1200) in Jan 2016. After all this time, I can sell it for £300 (30% of it's original value).

> UBI is a compelling way to get lots of people out of that "gotta" hole

Right, can you say more about why this is "compelling"? What I'm pointing out is that the 'savvy' business people will likely view the introduction of the UBI money into the economy as a reason to raise/adjust prices, i.e. inflation.

Having spent (too) much time speaking w/economists and the occasional central banker, who regularly debate the merits of QE (effectively targeted at the asset-rich) vs. "helicopter money", I'm not sure that society wouldn't end up right where it is now based on what I mentioned above about the 'savvy' business people.

If you're interested, someone broached the 'UBI/helicopter money' issue w/ Bernanke a couple of weeks ago as part of a broader conversation. I've linked to the video in another thread.[1]

I wonder if stories like these really make people treat other cultures with respect, or just make the fearful that everyone else is just out for revenge and thus just amplify their avoidance of anything foreign.
Deep breathing! I started this and am absolutely in love with the results: greater clarity of mind, more feeling alive, more energetic. I had a minor problem of clearing my throat every few minutes: gone!

My concentration has improved as well. I'm able to code with better results and fewer errors.

While some could say that these results (and more) are all in my head - they would be absolutely right! I do feel better about myself, much better.

The specific method I use is the Wim Hof Method. Google this and notice he has over 20 world records. While he has a course for sale, youtube has many videos that cover all aspect of his technique.

Wim Hof has scientific proof that he can control his immune system. More importantly, he is not a freak and can teach others to achieve the same results.

My wife has cancer. We both do deep breathing exercises three times a day. She reports that chemo symptoms become much less severe after breathing. We have become driven to continue this practice due to her condition. I am so glad to have found this technique.

Disclaimer: I am not associated with the Wim Hof Method in any way and receive no compensation for this note.

Off-topic, but do you actually run ad-hoc SparkSQL queries on the whole dataset sometimes? Are the logs actually stored as text files on disk? How long does such a query take and/or how many racks of machines do you need for that? Should be more than 1 million drive-seconds just to read the data from disk, right?
I very much agree. I've thought for some time now how I have much in more common with my 8 year old nephew (I'm 34) than with my own father. My father's interest include hunting, bows, knives, religion, war aritifacts and memorabilia, and other things which were common among men for a hundred years. Things rapidly changed in the information age, so I grew up with computers and video games in similar ways to kids today. Granted we didn't have the level of mobile technology, but I still had Gameboy. And many of the same franchises from the 80s/90s have persisted in popularity to today - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nintendo characters, Lego just to name a few. I've matured out of most kid things, but my point is that I can relate much more to my nephew over those things than my father could to me.

> I think the problem is that Apple themselves want to reinvent and innovate the heck out of everything all the time, so they're making it harder than it needs to be.

This right here is what I believe to be the central problem with the Mac's strategy since about 2013. Somehow, “can’t innovate” became this thorn in the side for Apple management, this black eye that they felt they had to come back from, to prove everyone wrong. No moment better expresses this than Phil Schiller's infamous “can’t innovate, my ass” ad-lib on the 2013 Mac Pro unveiling.

And so what we have now is a pendulum that has swung entirely in the opposite direction, arguably further than it ever was on the supposed “can’t innovate” side: Every Mac launch must be “innovative.” Every new Mac must showcase new design and technologies or break new ground, and products that can’t support this level of engineering investment (like the Mac Mini) get left behind.

In other words, the entire Mac business unit has transformed into a vanity project. My dream would be for “vanity project” to become the new “can’t innovate” - a challenge that spurs Apple to action in correcting course on its oldest product line.

And perhaps some day, Schiller will take the stage to announce a boring, but pragmatic new line of workhorse Macs, and mutter “vanity project, my ass.”
What lots of people fail to understand is this: little work-saving apps seems to work magically (for the users) because a lot of the logic, especially how to handle thorny edge cases which nobody considered before, is left in the brain of the user himself.
If I designed an app where a particular use case would be handled by "write down the caller's number on a post-it note and then ask George from accounting over a coffee cup at the cafeteria" I would face the firing squad.
But ironically enough this is how the "little spreadsheet my cousin helped me with over the weekend" handles this case, and all other unanticipated cases, and this is great because it's not a 3-tier sql dB driven app. (An app that handles everything else, though, and has to meet also regulatory requirements including SOX).
Hard Drives don't fail that way. Hard drives fail in other ways, so "writes per day" is simply irrelevant to the hard drive market.

Hard Drives fail because of vibration, broken motors, and things like that. MTBF is the typical metric for hard drives. There are also errors that pop up if data sits still too long (on the order of years), because the magnetic field loses its charge over time.
- It's okay to write code that isn't "perfect" but gets the job done.

- Make efforts to simplify things and make them maintainable for the future, but not at the expense of your health, well being, or the cohesion of your team.

- Stress will kill you and mess with the people around you (especially your spouse). Learn to understand yourself and how you react to emotional stimuli so you can "roll with the punches".

It's not a case of limited resources. There's twice more people on React Native team than people working on React itself, and that doesn't count all the neighbor projects that RN relies on (Metro, Yoga). And still this isn't enough.

At some point you can't "throw more people" onto the problem. Facebook can't just add a few hundred developers to the RN team and expect them to collaborate well. But that's more or less what you're asking about.

Realistically, several companies "scratching their own itches" as referred to in a sibling comment reply tends to work better because it creates focus and areas of responsibilities around real use cases.

My iPad pro with apple pencil actually does a really a good job of having handwriting latency and really good power consumption. I took it to a conference in Anaheim and spent an entire day taking notes on it. I've got the keyboard attachment so if i really need to be fast I can just flip it and go. However, to your point, it probably is heavier than a notebook and regular pencil, and it is one more thing to charge at some point. There's definitely pros and cons to it. I lean on it mostly because I probably will take it with me anyway, so having it, plus a notebook really is more weight, and having the ipad out is more convenient than having my mbp out at a conference. :/
> New Mac Mini? Easy: spec bump the current form factor.

Except using the 2012 modular, upgradeable approach. It's sad that we all know that has a snowball's chance.

The disease that's infected Apple is addiction to services revenue. Everything is a revenue stream. Their stores and "Geniuses" won't be profitable if everyone can repair and upgrade their own devices.

It was the idea of treating on-board flash as a load-target for temporary programs that felt fun.
Today, the focus seems to be on making sure that a product/system is easy to modify, integrate, or tear down completely instead of saying 'we need to build a system that can do x and only ever x really fast and cheap for a long time".

Anecdata: I was shopping for a birthday card recently, and Frida Kahlo is everywhere at the moment. Her image has been fully commoditised, so you'll find stylised pictures of it on almost anything. Her image is becoming as ubiquitous as Che Guevara's in the 90's, or it feels that way, and in becoming so I imagine 90% of the people who pick up a Frida tote probably have no idea who she was or why she's famous, other than she had thick eyebrows.

You have to accelerate both pieces to the same speed, which implies (in a rotational launcher), the same G (acceleration). Maybe there's some configuration where the leading payload pushes air out of the way for the first few km (the 'real' payload drafting behind), but the blocking payload isn't given enough energy to reach orbit and falls short. Seems like the following payload would crash into the leading one though.

Why would you want to destroy a real car in this simulation? We know the system is designed to do this, we know it has done it in the real world; it's a waste to use the system to destroy a real car. Plus if you build it right, the fake car exploding into bits is probably pretty dramatic ;)
Your question is not about "managing your manager." This is about your manager trying to sabotage your career.

Give the talks, quit if you have to. You don't need a manager who is not your advocate. I say this as someone responsible for many more management functions in tech than a technical tasks now. If your manager doesn't help you, tell HIS manager and be open: you don't need to accept this.

Bad management is a poison. Selfish managers need to be lanced out of a company like the malignant boils that they are. Take advantage of a seller's market for technical skills while you can, because there is no promise that you'll have this kind of agency in a year.
