Designing something people want to buy at scale is high skilled work, sure
If it didn't require above average skill or more, it would mean your average Joe on the street should be able to come up with patterns that will sell above average. (The latter of which might be plausible at the end of the day. But professional cloth designers will probably beg to differ and/or raise that it's a recipe for lack of creativity.)
Can you recommend a decent guide/starting point for other folks looking to do something similar?
People are just naive to attribute whatever human feelings to corporations.

It is all about the board and how to keep an impossible eternal yearly increase in profits, everything else is just good PR to help selling whatever helps achieving that goal.

Short answer: Too long.

Phones were not high tech. Most elected offials (and those they appoint) can barely use a fax machine, let alone disect and legislate today's status quo.

Furthermore, if you see these companies as a proxy surveillance state - as anyone reasonable should - then the odds for divestiture approach zero.
Adjunct is grafted onto the side of the regular academic ladder, which goes assistant —> associate -> full professor, and then perhaps a named chair or professsorship (e.g. Lucasian Professor of Mathematics)

The idea behind adjuncts was originally that you might hire someone on a temporary basis, either because of an unexpectedly large class or to offer a class on a special topic: a famous politician might offer a seminar about their time in office or an industrial researcher might offer something related to their work.

However, it’s become increasingly common to hire adjuncts to teach intro classes because they’re cheaper than professors (usually a flat fee per class and minimal benefits) and don’t involve much commitment (usually hired per semester), both of which have obvious short-term benefits to the administration.
Don't do this. I have a client who did this, and he now wonders how many interviews he _missed out on_ over a 3-year period because the employer was interested but the college screening came up lie-positive.

Many, many employers public & private do verify. And some people will start rumors if you are in a small community, or if they know someone you know. And if the employer later finds out that you lied, the lie will cost you the job, not the lack of education.

IMO if you are low on experience like education, your best bets are things like formal networking events or informal events (parties, concerts with friends, etc.), or even informal walk-ins to companies where you want to work. For some, the biggest problem is that they won't talk about wanting a job around their friends, for fear of appearing incompetent.

The world needs idealists and well intentioned types like these, because the improvements in software quality won't come from the burnt out, disillusioned, just ship it already types like you.

What software wisdom would you share with us instead? That projects have deadlines and budgets?
That the perfect solution does the job at the lowest cost over time?
That the right way to program is to take the customer's requirements into consideration?!

Honestly it looks like you gave up a long time ago and you're just trying to convince the rest of us that mediocrity is the way to go. No thanks.

And it's not like Meyer is advocating for some hardcore formal verification... he's merely pointing out that design by contract can improve software quality. The same DbC which has first class support and could be implemented in many languages. Even the C++ boost library recently added support for DbC; it's kind of ugly and probably bloats the object files, but it's there.
On my desktop display I see a difference in the light screens. It's a very subtle difference, but enough that it might theoretically irritate me if I had to stare at text all day. Probably not in practice, it's not a massive problem or anything; but yeah, AA looks better.

Where I notice it the most is on the curly quotes and parentheses. Without AA they look... harsh I guess? Or maybe blocky. You notice the vertical lines making up the curves more. You also lose some of the definition around letters - for example without AA the dot on the "i" is much less noticeable.

On the dark theme it doesn't look nearly as bad, I have a really hard time seeing the difference there at all. Maybe that's because they're scaled differently? Or maybe dark themes just don't need it as much?
It checks whether the symbols are defined in an included header file. The `compare` and `generic_fizz_buzz` are not defined in any header files that are included so they are obfuscated.

One example of this is `printf`, it would be obfuscated if it wasn't for the fact that it's defined in `stdio.h`. You can try removing that `include` and you'll see that it is then renamed.

The name it creates for each identifier is the md5 of the identifier.

Honestly, I would strongly encourage an optional replacement for therapists altogether. Nearly no humans of the type we raise in the US are cut out for jobs which require compassion.

Of course, many (mental health workers) are amazing, even seemingly super-human, some of them. No question about that.

But, actively caring for and defending such a marginalized and misunderstood population are never congruent with an astute professional career path in a capitalist society. I am from the US, and this may be different in other countries.

In US social mental health programs, we have been implementing scorched earth policing policies and enforcing them in the mental health clinics. One frightening issue at the moment involves state policies that give mental health facilities quotas for drug testing their patients. This is effectively leveraging mental health needs to criminalize and deny services. It’s most common in Republican states but rampant everywhere. Professional mental health workers are by and large non-critical and uninspired to take action.

So how does this effect autistic patients? In the same way that autism leads to issues with hiring processes and, confrontations with law enforcement, housing, etc. Autism falls victim to prejudice of mental health professionals according to a bias at the level of communication.

The policies are of course described as safety measures. Despite their likelyhood of encouraging suicide, the rapid rise in the US suicide rate + opioid crisis is currently being leveraged as the justification for such policies. Nevermind that opioids are not used in mental health treatments and that both issues are geographically strongly correlated with trends in economic displacement. Nothing new under the sun.
Community college was one of the smartest moves of my life.

The IGETC program ensured that my education was equivalent to what I would have gotten at a UC as a freshmen and sophomore.

My teachers were mostly Stanford and Berkeley PHDs. They were dedicated to teaching. Not trying to balance research and teaching. 30 people per class, maximum. Arguably, I got a better education than UC students.

And obviously, cost. My mom raised me and my brother. On paper, we were rather poor. The financial grants for students from low-income families essentially paid for all costs. If I had been really savvy with my money, I actually could have saved a few grand each year.

I transferred to UC Berkeley after 2 years, right on time.
That is mostly limited to copying photos and videos to/from the "Photo Roll".

There are many thousands of applications which process other file formats. Some of them have natively implemented support for a 3rd-party (expensive) storage device called iXpand, which itself comes with a poorly implemented app. These third-party applications are poorly and pointlessly (re) implementing basic OS file system I/O functions.

Is it possible that these pointless I/O hoops are hampering uptake of $1000 iPad Pros for "laptop" use cases?
The cost isn't incredibly high.

There's no scenario where the US builds an advanced manned fighter or bomber of any type where it doesn't cost ~$75 million plus per unit (Russia's MiG-35 will cost them at least $80-$100m in total lifetime costs per unit for example; the Chinese Chengdu J-20 is going to be $150-$200m lifetime total cost per unit or more). And then throw in the lifetime maintenance costs. Now build two thousand of them or more, and there you go, right back at a $1 trillion program. That seemingly crazy figure will go up perpetually with inflation over decades. The next big program that involves thousands of planes will be $2 trillion, and so on.

Spending $400 billion to acquire 2,000+ planes isn't the real problem, although the click-bait headlines pretend that it is. That cost would exist no matter what, we're not building & maintaining manned planes for decades for $25m each, period. The problem is the F35 isn't really great at any specific thing.
In my experience, visiting assistant professors are often freshly-minted PhDs building up their portfolios before going on the job market “for real.” It’s like a postdoc but with much more emphasis on teaching.

What is your suggestion for OP where their resume is immediately discard because of no education? Networking and meetups won’t get you passed HR filters and corporate requirements.

As I mentioned, even if you don’t get the job or lose the job, you’re still ahead of not trying. And you now have experience to put towards your next employer (and your old employer will only verify employment dates, as they don’t want to be sued).

This is the unfortunate reality of an asymmetric labor market where employers can make demands with no cost to themselves. Fake it until you make it.
Our group has flex time, and we have a fixed time window where we provide support. We just talk to one another so there is always someone when there should be someone. I presume the general idea is, if we stop acting like adults, management would step in and write our schedules for us.

Nintendo wants their customers to purchase games, because that's what drives their revenue. While the act of "making" is integral to Lego customers, the company hopes to sell customers more and more kits/bricks.

A self-contained user-programmable video game device probably needs more support and offers less recurring revenue opportunity than mass market game consumption platforms.

Actually, building a ridiculous plane is a much better way of achieving this than bombing innocent people.
Thing is, any replacement will take 20-25 years to develop if started today, so better just build more of these and hope to win by numbers.

I would suspect Stallman would reject that as well - library keeps track of what you have rented out, and requires proof of residency to get a library card. Sounds like exactly the same arrangement (except my property taxes foot the bill).
it is be appropriate

Typos of this sort make me wonder how clearly the man is thinking. That's perhaps unfair, but that's what crosses my mind when I read something like this and on top of the general craziness of the position, it has gibberish of this sort in it.

The post rants a lot about justice, but I am failing to see where in this rant he allows for the ability of people creating videos to get compensation at all. This seems to posit that a streaming service just shouldn't exist, period. The assumption that end users have all these rights, but creators apparently have none -- that's basically the very definition of slavery, no?

A lot of these things he is protesting were created as some attempt to try to capture compensation for the people doing the work that makes it possible for the end user to get all the things Stallman is claiming is some kind of right of end users.

I'm not comfortable with the moralizing language here. I think we need to do a better job of making sure people can get their share of the wealth that they participate in creating, not because of morality or justice, but because when (for example) Amazon employees are homeless while Bezos is insanely wealthy, this is basically preconditions for bloody revolution. When the people you need to create that wealth hate you for how you treat them, this is not a good thing going good places.

It isn't that I think it is "immoral" for Bezos to make that kind of money. It's that I think he's a fool to think that bleeding his workers won't come back to bite him. When their behavior was objectionable enough, even Roman emperors were sometimes offed by the very guard unit intended to protect them.

There's an old DnD concept of "lawful awful." This is where you try to play an alignment 1 Lawful Good character who is so "good" and so rigid about various rules that they wrap all the way around to behaving like a Lawful Evil. This post sounds a bit like to me.

I have a fair amount of respect for the fact that he believed in certain principles enough to put his own time and effort into creating open source alternatives to the proprietary things he felt were inherently in the wrong. And it's fine if he doesn't want to watch Netflix and wants to layout his reasoning for it. But this post veers into trying to tell other people to also embargo Netflix. What I am not seeing is his proposed alternative. And that's a difference here between his past willingness to write the code and make it open source because he felt that mattered and this current rant.

If you have a viable alternative to Netflix that fits your high-minded morals, awesome. If all you have is a rant about how this thing is not good enough, I think that should stay in the land of personal opinion or personal preference and not veer into territory of trying to use his position of influence to get other people to embargo them.

You realize this is how combat jet design works?

The author may have enrolled in a 5-year BA/MA program. Even if not, 2008 wasn't a great time to graduate with a BA in English, and advice to ride out the recession in grad school was pretty common.
We're a long, long, long way from machines taking over white collar work to any reasonable degree. Even extremely basic commands are routinely misunderstood by voice assistants.

What is going to continue to happen is what is already happening now: Less work wasted on bullshit, more potentially interesting findings surfaced for humans to examine. Same type of thing I was working on 2011 (helping lawyers with discovery, edit: no I confused things. Back then I was helping companies scan internal communication for automatic skill mapping), only better.
Wow, what a great and unexpected talk by John Cleese. Thanks for that.
(I can’t reply to your second comment directly)

Whats harder is finding a job you'll love with great career advancement opportunities, using the tech stack you like, with a manager you "click" with, and where you're appreciated.

What does “career advancement” look like to someone who doesn’t care about management? Career advancement for me means keeping up with the most marketable tech stack and getting paid as much as I can in my local market and still staying hands on.

“The tech stack I like” is whatever stack pays the most and has a reasonable amount of opportunities. By definition, a popular tech stack will have plenty of openings where you can stay current.

I choose to work for small companies with highly technical managers. A small company can’t afford to silo you. As far as “clicking with the manager” that kind of just happens with more technical managers when they trust your judgement. The only “appreciation” I need is to be paid market rates based on my skill set. I’ve had managers “appreciate me” verbally but didn’t push for the salary I wanted - I left.

I’ve been offered signing bonuses by recruiters who really wanted to get thier cut of my first years salary. I’ve turned them down. Out of my three requirements for a job - right technology, right environment, and money. Money is the least important as long as I’m making the median for my market/skill set.
Stallman's version of freedom does seem to be bounded by an excessive use of the word "never".
When you look at the development time for many of these advance warmachines often taking at least a decade or more, it's scary to think about what is being developed right now that will enter service 20 years from now.
I’m not sure that knowing about Æthelred the Unready is particularly useful for most jobs, but if you think of these classes as (covertly) teaching critical thinking and writing skills, then perhaps they make some sense even if you don’t value knowing about the world beyond your particular specialization.
Maybe that pic was chosen to express sadness that he is sorta forgotten (unfairly): "When he died in July, Helmut Kohl had been out of public life for nearly 20 years.

Reviving F-22 production for air superiority (and export to key allies like Japan) and starting a new program for a modern close-air support fighter might be a good start.

I don't think the F-35 is a bad plane and does what it was designed to do very well, but it isn't the best tool for all the roles it is expected to fill.

Those with older external monitors might take issue with that.

I could replace my old monitors, but they still work well with good colour and brightness, so it's not exactly environmentally considerate, or even slightly necessary.

Adding colour has added very little to UX aside from true-colour icons, the UX itself is essentially the same. Colour is used as a theme on top of a UI perfectly recognisable, and much the same as, mono and 4 colour interfaces of the 80s and 90s.
The old way of having contracters compete with designs and the loser getting $0 isn't possible when costs are this high. You need a guaranteed market or nobody will participate.
Academics and government employees both seem very capable of losing sight of the fact that someone needs to somehow pay the bills. They seem to often be oblivious to that idea. They work. They get paid. Their work doesn't have to make money per se. Their mental model for work and compensation departs from business culture into some la la land where bills are somehow paid by magic, it seems.

(I have a lot of relatives who worked for the government and I was a military wife for a lot of years. This is a problem I personally wrestle with and it is likely a factor in my persistent poverty. So it isn't intended to insult anyone.)
Could you give us a quick summary of the relevant ideas?

Serious question: is dogfighting still a thing these days?

YouTube channels... You mean like videos on a website?
Netflix actively lobbied DRM to be included in browsers and as a result even smaller local streaming services are incorporating it into their businesses. The general populace doesn't know what DRM is and doesn't care. Have you tried to clarify to a computer illiterate person on what that even means? (you're basically a thinfoil hat by that point).
There is no DST in December, so abolishing it wouldn't make a difference.
Universal healthcare would cost approximately $4 trillion per year at today's per capita spending figures. You might get that down to $3.5 trillion if you hammer down costs in the system big time and ration care as all socialized systems do.

The F35 will cost $20-$25 billion per year averaged.

Several of the most liberal states in the US - including California, New York and Vermont - have all looked at doing universal healthcare. They all run away immediately when the cost estimates come back.
It's also good to remember them whenever someone says that we can.
The whole concept of manned jet fighters is laughably obsolete today. If you were designing an actual modern weapon it would be a mostly autonomous drone. Basically think of a rocket with a lot more intelligence in it. These things would be much lighter since they wouldn't need to carry a pilot, would be able to handle Gs that would turn humans into a paste, and react to changes in the environment in microseconds. There would be no competition between that and canned meat flying around. Note that Russia is moving precisely in that direction with their modern arsenal https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/best-bad-idea-ever-w...
