Personally, for me, I found it useful but not for the reasons of knowledge. The knowledge was good but the program helped to sharpen my speaking and thinking skills. It also broadened my mind to different perspectives - that the tech world that I come from is quite different to people outside of industry.

The classes and sessions have also made me think further and deeper about business, culture and management beyond the usual.

It also made me more disciplined - focus on the business not the product and technology. Used to waste countless hours building, researching with not much to show for.

It’s also given some confidence to speak to business types and connect with them at a deeper level while introducing technology to them.

You can most definitely fallback as an engineer but why are you thinking of an MBA in the first place? What’s your goal for pursuing one?

I can never understand this claim when people make it about languages like Haskell and ReasonML.

How is the compiler catching your logic bugs? If you write 'a + b' and you should have written 'a - b' the compiler isn't going to catch that in either of those languages. It'll compile but it won't work. Do you never make these kind of logic bugs?

No it's not. There are tons of cheaper plans out there from cheaper carriers like Public Mobile/Koodo/Fido and etc. You just have to look up for them. I used to pay 40 for 4GB/month and now I am at 12GB/month for 55. Still not cheap, but not as bad as what you are saying.

If it's in any way a surprise than it's 100% your fault as a manager. Having to 're work code' is so common in software it's basically normative. I've never written code that was not re-worked. So that, in and of itself might not be enough information. I understand it can be very difficult with someone who just isn't up to snuff, because it's like telling a mediocre athlete to 'be spectacular' - often it just can't work out. But it still shouldn't be a surprise. Moreover, if they're otherwise decent you could try to find something else for them to do.

Some people write terrible code but they are wicked problems solvers, I've seen them work out on integration teams that need people 'on the ball' hunting down problems.

Older people care more about consistency than "usability". They can successfully complete long tasks, maybe with several retries but they can, but if they are consistent. Input a long text somewhere, dial 15-20 digit phone number etc. But they can't usually deal with unpredictable situations, where computer will "intelligently" help them, fill parts of the input, when same action is different on different devices, when they need to know how system will behave in advance.

PS: consider how you would guide an older person over the phone when he/she is accessing Citibank website (for which www.citibank is different website), with Chrome will "intelligently" hide essential part of the address.
The problem with that is that it could be insider information (or, at least, it isn't obviously not insider information, the way info about the serial numbers from iPhones that anyone could buy is public information).

Well, this is really a two-way problem. Being mostly a pedestrian myself (I don't own a car, and only use one of them very occasionally to cover long distances or move furniture), I really enjoy old historic city centres, which are really easy to get around just walking.

Being a pedestrian in a car-first environment can really be nightmarish (and dangerous!) at times. I think about large shopping centers or industrial complexes, but also about American-type suburbs. Getting around is impractical, public transport i often nonexistent. As a results, this only encourages car ownership, which encourages building this kind of environment.

However, I also drive quite a bit at times, mostly in the countryside, yet I would take an easily accessible parking lot and public transit infrastructure in big cities over large roads. I don't really know about elsewhere, but it seems to me that car-less cities are pushed for in quite a number of places in Europe, and it doesn't seem like the opposite (making cities more car-friendly) pushes back that much in cities that were converted.

Now, about the parent, this could be taken a step further by optimizing for a lot of variables (walking time, access to public transportation, parkings, roads, etc), instead of just making an "historic simulation".
Yes, Microsoft blocked me sending email from my shared hosting to my Hotmail. The email address was whitelisted, and established email back and forth to that domain, and no spam ... but another server at the same host had previously been blacklisted in one blacklist.

SPF nor DKIM helped, I don't own the mail server nor want to pay Microsoft's service provider to verify me.

In the end I had to bounce the emails from a third-party address. Which you'd think shouldn't work -- certainly not when whitelisting doesn't -- but solved the problem.

So to avoid being flagged as a spammer, do the spammiest thing possible: set up a new, free mailbox and bounce your mail from there. SMH.
It seems like it would be confusing for anyone. Especially that it doesn't just remove the lowest level domain if it's www, but any part if it's www. So "www.paypal.www.com" would be displayed as "paypal.com". If that isn't great for phishing I don't know what is.
Skyrim and Oblivion are a good example here. Oblivion heavily used procedural generation to create the overworld. It resulted in a pretty samey experience.

What kind of case studies? The number one thing I care about in a scientific computing platform is library support: how does Julia perform on that?

Do they have ML libraries to compete with PyTorch and Tensorflow? How about geometric calculations such as Voronoi and Convex Hull? Can it handle noneuclidean geometry? Is there a good library for network analysis? GIS? Do they have a symbolic computation library to stand up to SymPy?

If Julia can answer Yes to all of the above, then maybe it's worth checking out.

They’re talking about Sarah Jeong, who’s been the subject of one of the more recent made-up controversies various right-wingers are using as an chance to bond over their shared identity as self-perceived victims:

https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/8/8/17661368/sarah-jeong...

The usual differences apply: she was making obvious jokes in the style of right-wing rhetoric (e.g. joking about how white people can’t handle the sun and need to live underground) about a group which has never been seriously threatened rather than repeating slurs which have serious history behind them, there was no sign of capacity or intent to do real harm, etc. Twitter doesn’t do nuance well but it’s about as accurate as thinking Swift made a serious proposal to eat poor children.

I've been thinking for a while that there should be a movement to allow people running mailservers at their home again.

"Again" as in get other actors in the field to allow/ease that: spamlist managers should stop blocking residential address by default and make it easier to appeal. ISPs should make it possible and easy to get a reverse-ptr with every fixed ipv4 allocation.

In this monitoring age I want to be able to handle my private conversations (and my data) on my own iron (running somewhere in my house).

All this impediments to running your own mailserver and take back control of your own data really look like a push towards state-/corporate-backed espionage of individuals.

It's not 1995 anymore, most of us have an internet connection well capable of sustain enough mailboxes for a whole family.

Its profit if you completely discount away the debt they have :) Or if you think they started at 0 investment. Or if you thinking on lines of completely discounting their initial capital 'investment' by not calling it Debt.

It is debt nevertheless.

Its like say took like a crore to start a business, and you are making like a profit of 50000 a month. Its profit, but it isn't exactly profit in an absolute sense, given you have to pay back 1 cr.

The thing about companies like Reliance is they can afford to do this. They have debt of $37 billion(https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/cash-rich-...) and they want to raise another $3 billion.

So yes, they post profits. Based on what your definition of profit is.

Don’t forget that government regulations actually contributed to the opaque billing issue. Laws state that hospitals must maintain a chargemaster with prices for all procedures.

> How is the compiler catching your logic bugs?

It doesn't, and I agree with your sentiment. IIRC, type-related errors account for ~10% of bugs.

If (and only if) types are tied into your tooling ecosystem (for example, an IDEs that uses that info to full extent to aid in code completion, refactoring, code analysis etc.), they are very useful.

In my experience non-logic bugs vastly outnumber logic ones.

"Modern" dev is not about writing algorithms, it's about sewing together many different frameworks/libraries/technologies.

I'm probably biased as most of my experience is in webdev, but other domains seem to have the same issues (probably not to the same extend).
The more meaning you can encode in the type system, the more the compiler can help you.
It won't help you catch a + b... unless you e.g. declared a to be of type meters, and b inches.

I can't think of any other species off-hand that has a developed sense of general ethics. We're not discussing how the world is. It is how it is.

However, if you're of the opinion that is unethical to cause more suffering and that killing other beings just to ensure your own survival then plants having sentience is a pickle.

Something has to give. You have to give in to the circle of life and acknowledge that your survival will bring in some measure of suffering to other beings. Or sacrifice yourself since there is no way to eat ethically by your standards.

Obviously, the vast majority of people will choose survival. But now they have to draw a line. What's friend and what's food? And once you draw that line, you have to defend that choice. You can't just say "because it's X", you have to explain why it is so.

I mean, learning all of this has just made me more of a "speciesist". I don't believe there is any way to resolve the conflict.
This is why IMO a well-run pen-and-paper RPG will offer a far superior experience to any computer game for the foreseeable future.
This is the dirty secret of Mechanical Turk – you're supposed to run it through multiple times according to much of the documentation, but people don't because then it becomes expensive enough that it's no longer an attractive option.

I work in a company who have considered it many times for various things, but between the Mechanical Turk API/tech being pretty terrible, and it all being expensive and low quality, we always either end up getting a temp in for a day or two to sit in front of Excel and tidy up data, or if it's a bigger process we outsource it to a data processing company in Bangladesh where we can have dedicated people on our account who sit in a shared Slack channel and who we can train.

>I wonder how far down this rabbit hole things go. Do they have people standing outside factories counting how many cars leave on the back of the truck? Do they have people standing outside factories counting how many cars leave on the back of the truck?

Mostly as an exercise for myself, I've been curious to make a system that would do this. Cameras on all the entrances, license plate tracking, and maintaining an "inventory" of vehicles in the facility.

You could track shift change, number of consumer vehicles (estimating number of people working), number of semis, etc.

Throw things into mechanical turk and you could categorize semis. Maybe that factory that makes big things needs one big component for every unit, and it's super obvious when it comes in on a semi. Boom, that's going to be a strongly correlated factor to production.

Consumer vehicles versus true production over time could help find increases in efficiency.

There are tons of ways to leverage little bits of data, and I think a vehicle in/out tracker would get you a LOT of information.

The type system is a lot more expressive than the ones found in Java/C#/C++, thanks to Algebraic Data Types.

Yaron Minsky (Jane Street, largest OCaml user) coined the term "make invalid states unrepresentable" to explain how ADTs help in enlisting the help of the compiler to help us express our intent correctly, and Richard Feldman (NoRedInk, largest Elm user) has given an absolute gem of a talk that dives into that idea with relatable, concrete examples.

Term "political correctness" is very loaded, and using it basically flags a narrative.

I am being literal. The internet is not about freedom. It's about making money and influencing thought and action.

Realize that the majority (and I'm willing to say probably over 95%) of people today us the internet on their phone. They have a few "apps" which they switch through by swiping left or right (changing channels). The use Facebook, Amazon, their chosen politically aligned news site, Google search, and a few other things. Probably not much more than the 6 channels of TV I had as a kid.

And the Google searches are rarely if ever for anything beyond the first few links or the sponsored content. Really, page 2 and beyond might as well not exist. The users don't go there. Google could just return results from major organizations and users would be fine with it.

I lived through PC era, from start to finish. It took me a long time, but eventually I realized that 99% of the population was never going to understand how computers work. Just the concept of a file and a folder is beyond most people (that's why phones don't have them). Once I gave up on expecting people to learn about computers, computing became much easier. Phones, tablets, and so on, for the masses, the desktop for me. And now I didn't have to go fix peoples screwed up computers - they don't have them anymore.

The importance of a domain name, much less a sub-domain, is now irrelevant. A search result, of of the first few, is what matters. You will never get users to understand a URL.

At one time the internet might have been for us hackers, but that time has passed. It's now the domain of the masses.
I think there is a different problem: people do not know
how to use email.
1) people do not know how to properly quote messages
2) people do not understand that mail are quick "mail",
not chats
3) people do not know that mail are not file sharing solution

Personally I have inbox zero via notmuch-emacs, and I use mails for nearly
anything feeds included (RSS2Email) mails are automatically filtered on
remote via IMAPFilter and I can refile locally if needed but I try to
avoid doing so to have more "automatic" solution.

A proper taxonomy + a proper full-text and tag search are the solution,
all messages locally under our control. Unfortunately for most there are
ZERO modern MUA, only webmails are developed so most people are stuck
with '90-era client and so leave their mailboxes in a messy state or
leave their message on someone else server without any real personal
backup.

I think this is wanted by many "big" that prefer proprietary platforms
with various lock-in like webmails or even more "new things" with much
more lock-in from Discourse to Slack, Disqus, Whatsapp etc. ALL of them
are a limited proprietary solutions trying pushing people out of emails.
