Is there an engineering solution for this, or is it something beyond that?

For instance, could we have almost everything that pushes water to plants contain some kind of low-cost sensor that sends data about the water going through it back to some base station for analysis?

We would need to spend some money to:
* develop the technology
* deploy the technology, including ensuring either the sensor can be self-powered (solar?) or we can hook up electricity to the water outputs easily (and electricity + water = not an easy solution!)
* monitor the data

However... all of this seems do-able if we want to reduce health problems like this.

I imagine, like most everything, it comes down to tradeoffs: how frequently do outbreaks like these happen? What is the monetary cost when they happen? Would constant monitoring tech like this actually help us detect it? Who would pay?

I'd argue this is exactly what something like the FDA should be helping with - ensuring our food is safe, and that means helping deploy state-of-the-art sensors to reduce the chance of contamination. With government money going to some group that can make this a reality, the risk of developing this on their own and hoping that food producers would choose to pay for it goes away.
Well...because usually these text editors are used for code not printable documents. And you really won't like the look of a printed "plain" text (i.e. not formatted doc/odt/pdf).

You can try to print any file from the terminal with `lpr filename` which will literary print all characters in a file (a doc/odt contains a lot of "non-desired" stuff) unless the `CUPS` daemon is aware of a certain file format (yours should "know" how to print a pdf correctly)
Would it be that hard to judge professors based on students success (in subsequent classes) using something like a pagerank algorithm? But that wouldn't necessarily correlate with institution popularity and success.

I don't think you have to get all the way to the Go community's opinions to be in a reasonable place; I think the JS community is at a far extrema in the other direction and suffer this problem particularly badly, but that doesn't mean the other extreme is the ideal point. I don't personally know of any other community where it's considered perfectly hunky-dory to have one-line libraries... which then depend on other one-line libraries. My Python experiences are closer to the Go side than the JS side... yeah, I expect Python to pull in a few more things than maybe Go would, but still be sane. The node modules directories I've seen have been insane... and the ones I've seen are for tiny little projects, relatively speaking. There isn't even an excuse that we need LDAP and a DB interface and some complicated ML library or something... it was just a REST shell and not even all that large of one. This one tiny project yanked in more dependencies than the sum total of several Perl projects I'm in charge of that ran over the course of over a decade, and Perl's a bit to the "dependency-happy" side itself!

In the sense that there are no types (or only one, depending on how you look at it), that its inventor eschews standardization, that there are literally no keywords and that the basic premise of the language is that it, the interpreter, the application and the compiler are the same thing, it's not at all opinionated.

You make an interesting point, but what you describe is about the only sense in which I'd respect calling Forth opinionated. In every other sense, walking into a new Forth application is potentially like walking into a new language.

As a good example of how unopinionated it is, here are the jonesforth implementations of the IF and THEN words:

: IF IMMEDIATE ' 0BRANCH , HERE @ 0 , ;
: THEN IMMEDIATE DUP HERE @ SWAP - SWAP ! ;

Don't need those words? Don't implement them and make your own branching abstraction. Feel like you spend too much time juggling the stack? Implement named parameters and local variables. Need records or structs? Do it. Need an object system? Go for it.

But checkin had always did the same thing, be it in VSS or PVCS. Sure, there'd be varying capabilities, differences in tooling, but concepts were the same. Git wants to be different for the sake of being different (even if we assume for a moment that one should know anything about DAGs in order to use version control, which is pretty laughable by itself).
An OS, by general definition, usually contains the ability to launch applications developed for it, using the high-level API’s the OS provides to greatly simplify low-level hardware functionality, such as playing sound or displaying images.

A program, by definition, is a running system which executes specific instruction sets, whether this is from a low-level, no-OS setup, such as an NES, or a MacOS program which makes extensive use of Core Image, Core Animation, Core Audio, et cetera.

These are both programs. But only one of them actually runs in an OS.

A really simple indicator of this the long term relevance of "hotness" in things like ratemyprofessor - mercifully they killed that, but it should never have been present in the first place - which showed that "hotness" was strongly correlated to a professor or TAs rating.

Couple with other studies that hotness ratings of women are more extreme (tending towards a binomial hot vs. not), and more negative (I would assume, but am not sure of actual real study to back it up, because "average" hotness gets demoted).

I guess this might fall under "You need experience and you have no other option to get experience.", but I ended up on the path of working for startups because

1. I never graduated from university (life came up, and I couldn't afford to keep going); but, also,

2. I don't live in the US (I'm Canadian.)

Any of the US bigcorps that want to hire programmers, expect them to get a visa and move to the US.

You know what you need, to get a work visa as a programmer coming to the US?

A college degree!

So, my employer pool was instantly limited to non-US companies. Mostly local Canadian companies. Most of those are very conservative and also expect a college degree. The only ones that aren't, are startups. So that's what I had to do.

The really annoying thing is, I ended up doing work for these Canadian startups that would netted me a $300k USD salary if I had been doing it for a US bigcorp. But, because Canadian salaries are lower, and startup salaries are lower, I was only getting ~$60k.

After years of doing that, I'm a Canadian startup founder... and still only making (i.e. paying myself) $60k.

I guess I'm an object lesson in the value of a college degree!
I won't disclose my predicates here apart from saying that I am not American, but I understand your rebuttal.

Which brings me to another question for parent and children comments posters. You really think that the USA is an authoritarian regime similar to China? No rhetorics here, I'm really curious.
Your two paragraphs are connected to each other. The speed of light is known to be constant in every inertial reference frame. But reference frames are not required to be inertial, which is precisely why we call them inertial reference frames; the word "inertial" is not redundant.

You can reformulate all of physics into your Earthly non-inertial reference frame. You can formulate all of physics into a reference frame in which you personally are always stationary! Nothing stops you from doing it, and the physics will work, as much as they ever do (i.e., we know something's wrong with our theories). To the extent that the result is a hideous monstrosity, well, such is my point. Pondering the nature of that hideous monstrosity is something I think worth doing, at least for a bit. Not to the extent of actually writing the equations, though. It brings clarity to why inertial reference frames are so important that we almost consider "inertial reference frame" to be a single atomic word, because non-inertial reference frames are in general not very useful. (In specific they can be.)

Well, that's what I mean. You could sorta do it in Java, but people don't do it that way because there aren't consistent conventions and it feels wrong. But adding the extra type information exposes internal details and results in a backward-incompatible API change if you ever want to start throwing a new exception.

Some people extend RuntimeException instead, which means you don't know whether a generic RuntimeException is recoverable or not.

It's similar to how code formatting tools have been around a long time, but Go made their formatter standard, and that made all the difference. Conventions sometimes matter more than language features.

Again perhaps a bad assumption, but I generally hear "cargo" to refer to personal items that go in the car. Clothing, backpacks, shoes, groceries, books, etc. Hardly a strict definition of course, but that's what I was thinking about, not towed loads or a bedfull of dirt or construction materials, that I might call a "payload". But I hate quibbling semantics; my apologies.
Given your expertise over the many years how would you recommend we control the use of such technology?

Maybe my question is based on the assumption that you agree: stopping development of the technology in the first place is not the solution. Hopefully this assumption is correct.
This technology might not work at all, or it might be highly effective after refinements.

If it is highly effective moral arguments are moot. Genetic engineering will be like nuclear weapons. A nation that desires to be competitive or have economic dominance won’t have any choice, it will be forced to adopt its usage (or be left behind).

Even agreements to control nuclear weapons that could cause human extinction still leave nuclear weapons in the hands of many major nations (and a handful of tiny ones) so international agreements have little chance of curtailing genetic engineering.
>Dictatorships are monopolies.

And?

>I think you meant historically.

I don't know what you think adding that adjective is going to change, but sure.

>What ever did you mean by "theoretically"?

I meant in theory.
I think API’s, and the ability to run different applications, usually within the OS, are the major distinction here.

I think it boils down to the concept that an OS should serve as a middle layer of abstraction between a program and hardware, and provide some sort of meaningful way to make that stream of communication more simple and useable for humans.
As I recall there was also something about the complexity of having the rover drive off the landing platform which was to be avoided. It would have been several feet of the ground and needed to get down.

Credible evidence must be provable, otherwise it is just speculation.
Not quite, since a "profitable" investor-backed company is still usually pushed by those investors to seek further investment, whether the company needs it to continue growing or not. (It just needs it to grow to the level that an investor would care about.)

The concept here is closer to "firing your investors" or "buying back your equity", but they haven't necessarily done that yet.

Do you have any insight on why this happens or what such absurd results are even presented? I regularly see things like 54 hour travel time for for international flights.

Is "stability" in terms of overall job security, or day-to-day chaos?

Because I would add "chaos" to the list of negatives. The odds are likely you're going to get a C-suite or board that has ADHD-like tendencies, especially when chasing large customers and/or funding rounds.

You will continually be dropping or delaying long-term work for short-term projects to help the company achieve other goals.

> this is reality in a startup

Five-year-old well-funded-and-profitable companies with 50 employees, where you as employee #50 are just there to toil away writing some dumb CRUD backoffice code—are still referred to as "start-ups."

And, in fact, since the other kind of startup dies more often than it succeeds and grows into this kind, most startups that are hiring at any given moment are this kind of startup.
Not anomaly at all, I have been working in 4 different startups, 3 of them while having a family already, two of them were successful, and one is on the way. In 3 out of the 4 I had pretty decent working conditions, much better than working for a corporate. Not too much stress just doing my job during normal hours with a lot of flexibility to work from home. Maybe because those startups were created by older people or maybe because they are not in the silicon valley but those start ups are out there and I prefer working in those places mainly for the lifestyle, I could make more money in the corporate probably.

Both of these are valid reasons to work at a startup, if you have a family to feed and care for.

Sometimes any job is a good job, even if it's only temporary while you try to find the perfect gig.

Edit to add:

I've been in exactly this position. I took a dev job with a startup I knew was a complete loser, run by scam artists. But I had to put food on the table. Fortunately, I was only there about eight months before I landed a real job with a real company.

The dodgy company imploded, exactly as I expected it to.

Lowest ask: $230, Highest bid: $425

At first glance this is backwards because "buy low sell high". Then I realized those prices includes all sizes. So if you look at each size it makes sense:

Size 12: $233 ask, $215 bid

Size 16: $572 ask, $425 bid

The ticket/graphs show sales at all sizes, which is useless as an indicator of trends at the sizes you want/have.
These comments are fucking ridiculous.

Please, by all means ask about the dev operations at a startup so that founders know not to hire you. You will sacrifice execution for enterprise best practices. You will over over-complicate every project.
