Usually, feature requests go through a product manager who can do analysis, integrate with road map, prioritize against other features, figure out if there's overlap with another feature (maybe one coming up soon) and so it shouldn't actually be implemented, etc.

There may be some communication between product and design to figure out how it should look and feel.

Then it'll go into a sprint most probably, but not the current sprint, because that would change the scope and affect estimates and possible delivery timelines. You'd only change the sprint scope if the team is running out of work to do or there's a major customer request or other panic.

There will be some measure of QA, ideally. Some people fly by the seat of their pants, and rely on fixing things in production if it breaks in production. This is using your customers as QA. Can work if you roll out gradually and are very responsive to any reports of regressions.

All in all, this is unlikely to happen in less than a couple of weeks. The processes are designed for predictable, consistent delivery and to minimize surprise. Shortening the chain will mean less integrated decision making and will increase the amount of surprise and inconsistency in the product and its delivery.

> For AI in particular - the way the world is developing, it seems logic is a weak foundation for intelligence. At this point, given that we know humans do not use logic for their intelligence, it would be a little surprising if logic is the best way to approach that particular problem.

Whoa, "humans do not use logic for their intelligence"? Hold on there. How do we know that?

I suspect the line of reasoning is something like: if machine learning is massively successfully without a great deal of logic or deductive rules, then the human mind works similarly.

Which stems in turn from thinking the brain is just like a computer, and vice-versa, which is arguable (let alone lamentable).

Will we see a total ban on single gender clubs in the future? And is that what we want?

I don't get what is so wrong about having a few kids activities that are for just one of the genders. I think it's very healthy for kids to experience all the differences between boys and girls early on, to learn. But they should also be allowed to enjoy the company of just each other when they want to. It's an important process to understand how that part of reality functions. In sports this happens a lot and I think it's really healthy that girls aren't forced to play soccer with the boys all the time, but that there are girl teams and boys teams. Likewise for many sports.

Are we all becoming so politically correct that we effectively stop teaching our children the values of masculinity and femininity?
"what are your dreams" or "where do you see yourself in 10 years"

To me these are two entirely different classes of questions. The first is open ended and meaningless, while the second is directly connected to your career and thus highly relevant for both you and the company. I know where I want to be in 10 years career wise and thus I want to know if this job can help me get there. Equally the company probably knows where it wants to be in 10 years and as such wants to know if you can help it get there.

With the risk of getting roasted, here are my top three impressions of the article:

(1) The guy is very deep in the management / higher-level business bubble and is extremely disconnected from the day-to-day work that enables his lifestyle. He seeks to optimize things that are mostly managerial / consultant lingo and don't have much connection to things in the real world. That's not 100% true of course but it mostly strikes me as such.

(2) Instead of de-formalizing the process he seeks to find more and more micro ways to measure people. This can probably work long-term, maybe, but many people have tried and failed many times in the past and I think it's arrogant to not take that into account in your supposed solution.

(3) He is not accounting for humans, like at all. I knew programmers that worked quietly for 3 weeks and then showed us all a gem that made us go "wowwwwww". In traditional systems like Scrum and any agile-based nonsense this is severely frowned upon. Truth is however, people are different and as long as you are happy with the average ($result / $month) of somebody then you should leave them the hell alone to find and optimize their own way of being productive.

Good point, although GeoIP only works for home broadband really (and even then, only up to the nearest block or so); on mobile networks you only ever get to see the GGSN's IP no matter where you physically are (the idea that each tower has its own IP seems like a myth to me, never seen that actually happening for real), so you're missing out tons of info.

On the other hand device-based location (like the one that gets attached to photos) is often accurate enough to tell two flats apart so you can even tell very close users apart.

I don't expect this glacier to be visible anymore from Montenvers train station/lookout during our lifetimes. The glacier in the visible part is almost flat, meaning even 5km up the valley its still below 2000m altitude - that's becoming a death zone for glaciers.

Really, if anybody is into mountains and admiring those alpine terrains, enjoy them now while you can. In maybe 30 years, the only place to admire them in Chamonix area will be from Aiguille du Midi, sitting 3800m high on top of a rocky needle.

I expect other high-altitude european easy-to-reach places like Zermatt and Eiger will be in same or even worse state due to nature of the terrain there.

I don't think working on the perl5 internals is quite as hard as you make it sound. Yes, there's brittle dependencies between many parts. Yes, it's a very complex piece of software (and in intrinsic and implementation specific ways). But the single biggest barrier for Perl devs to hack on it is that most of them aren't also great C programmers. To wit, I'd tried many times to get the hang of it as a Perl dev and struggled. After I learned C properly for unrelated reasons, the nextb attempt went swimmingly. I've also seen folks show up on the porters list and get up to speed in just a few weeks.

Now, I'll concede the point regarding language design though: the Perl 5 Porters have become very conservative wrt language evolution. I used to be highly skeptical of this (I convinced folks of strict by default in 5.12 and oh how much I lobbied behind the scenes for fully @_ eschewing function signatures!) but since we made a number of blunders in such changes in the decade prior, I understand the conservativism.
>As if a person in that situation is going to deduce the pros and cons of the situation at the time

Isn’t the complaint that the doctor did exactly that, and decided against the ambulance? (with the issue being that the cons may not have actually been full with the patients best interests in mind); the defense being that the doctor wad exactly the person who should be making that decision, and there’s a decent chance he was correct (based on his potential capacity to seize any life-threatening aspect of it, and assuming he did so)

It seems like a lot of assumptions are being made to make the claim that an ambulance should be required under any circumstance, having lost a finger. But even a tiny amount of trust in the doctor actually doing his doctoring is enough to say... maybe an ambulance would be unecessary, and a medical professional is probably the best person to make that call. If you’re not assuming malice, that is
That sounds interesting, I'll add that to my order list. What came to mind for me around this topic, was Edward Said's 'Orientalism'. Is an amazing critique.
> Why does writing in the morning (anecdotally so far) seem to be so effective for writers, even ones who are not morning persons? While programmers, which seems like a similar occupation, are invariably owls?

I frankly didn't read the whole linked article, but do the writers, by any chance, do the writing in the morning, but not editing? Because personally, I regularly have a sorta-confused rush of ideas and notions early after sleep, that subsides after a couple hours―after which I may find the morning ideas stupid, or sometimes discover a gem among them, but almost always I find that calm logic of the day doesn't produce such wild reaches. It's pretty much how creativity on drugs is usually imagined. I would also guess that if I have a solid sleep and then a sharp cutoff instead of lingering in bed, the effect is more pronounced―and this behavior is more of a larkish thing, I think.

Meanwhile, I can't code in that state until I wear it off with articles from HN and such stuff. But I can code when I should've been in bed many hours ago and may keel over at any minute.

(BTW, dunno if it's just me, but: I don't ever remember dreams from the deep phase, however I have vivid and lucid dreams if I briefly wake up and then drift off again, i.e. after an optimistic alarm. Notably, if I'm imagining music in this state, it's best stuff I've heard, way off usual patterns and genre clichés, and it comes effortlessly, while in the day I have trouble coming up with anything like that.)
>What is the most important for you 1) office environment OR 2) company culture?

Office environment is either a subset of company culture, else has massive overlap with it.

If you are asking for comparison between company culture and physical work environment (i.e. the tangible sites, facilities and decoration) again there is massive correlation/causation between the two, and are very intertwined subjects - Here is a fairly comprehensive overview of the current literature:

THE IMPACT OF THE PHYSICAL WORK ENVIRONMENT ON ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES: A STRUCTURED REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE - Paul Kegel

http://jfmer.org/doi/full/10.22361/jfmer/76637

'Office environment and Company Culture' are bundled together for the above reasons. - In summary, it isn't really possible to compare as an 'either/or'.
Data would be too noisy and interrelated to split, and if split would have little value that could be derived anyway.
I reckon it's more of a question of bureaucracy than technology. If I were to do something like that on the project I work on, I'd need at least four other people involved, and a stack of meetings to get the feature approved for development.
If you run all your customer's daily batch jobs at the same time, I hope you charge extra for that time slot.

I'd simply spread out these jobs over time and have customers pay to get specific timeslots, which you can fill costs for the baremetal servers.

And when not in direct use, you can surely find something else for the server to run on it's CPU (or simply put it in standby and do WoL when needed).
It doesn’t matter whether you track people using a camera, ultrasound, WiFi signals or even manually by watching them from your window and keeping book about their coming and goings, what matters is that you process “their” data. So using a different technology to perform the surveillance doesn’t free you from privacy laws.

> - Java, C#, Obj-C, Javascript and Python2 were all written when it was assumed Unicode would have no more than 65536 characters.

Python 2 had "narrow builds" (2-byte unichar) and "wide builds" (4 byte unichar). Wide was generally the default on unices.

> - Go, Dart, Rust and Zig all return to single byte encodings. They all use UTF-8 internally, and have different functions to interact with the string as a list of bytes, and the string as a list of unicode codepoints. (In Go's case its because Rob Pike was behind both Go and UTF8.)

Dunno about Dart and Zig, but AFAIK Go is closer to Ruby's old model of "IDK lol". A number of string-processing functions assume (and sometimes even assert) UTF8, but that's not a guarantee at all[0]

> It's important to state right up front that a string holds arbitrary bytes. It is not required to hold Unicode text, UTF-8 text, or any other predefined format. As far as the content of a string is concerned, it is exactly equivalent to a slice of bytes.

For Rust on the other hand, having non-UTF8 byte sequences in an str is one of the language's UB (hence str::from_utf8_unchecked existing and being unsafe).

> C strings interoperate beautifully with UTF8 - all thats missing is some libc helper methods to count & iterate through UTF8 codepoints. strlen / strncpy / strcmp / etc all work perfectly when dealing with UTF8.

C strings don't "interoperate with UTF8": they treat everything as a nul-terminated bag of bytes and that's it. Which means they won't properly process valid UTF8 sequences containing NUL, and they will improperly process invalid UTF8 sequences. Ignoring the entire thing is not interoperability, you can not actually operate on text using the C stdlib. All you can do is treat it as an opaque blob and move it from one place to the other mostly unmolested.

Forgot Your ID?

In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity. If your identity is confirmed, you will be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint. You will be subject to additional screening, to include a patdown and screening of carry-on property.

You will not be allowed to enter the security checkpoint if your identity cannot be confirmed, you chose to not provide proper identification or you decline to cooperate with the identity verification process.

They already do if they do proper text manipulation as unicode itself is variable length and has to be stream-processed. O(1) access to codepoints is not actually useful, and most languages don't even provide it since they don't internally encode to UTF-32.

The original split looks correct to me. If you're assuming CSV is a textual format, a comma with a combining acute accent is not the same thing as a comma: if I'm asking for a split on "e", I don't want a split on "é" whether in its precomposed form or not, and I especially do not want lone combining characters floating around as a result.

If you're assuming CSV is a binary format, you should split on code units before the textual decoding.
Generally that's correct, albeit pretty much only used in writing. There are, however, political titles for which, to my knowledge, that does not apply. Minister, Chancellor and President (of the BRD) should all supersede a PhD title.
