Because decisions are rarely down to just one field of expertise, and technical experts are often some of the least knowledgeable about fields that aren’t theirs.

Like if you build a new application for handling internal e-commerce. The programmer will know how to build it, the service designer will know how to create the ux, the lean consultant will know how to build the best work-flow, the financial expert will know what functionality is required, the project manager will know how to get things build in the right order and how to manage benefits, the hr-consultant and the lean consultant and the service designer will know how to get it implemented, the data scientists will know what kind of data model their like to do BI. And so on.

The right decision is to listen to all those inputs, and implement them in a way that’s both realistic, possible within the budget and making sure the final product actually fits in within the organisation.

That doesn’t mean you won’t delegate. I don’t really care if it’s build with graphql or not, as long as building it with graphql doesn’t increase production time by an unreasonable amount of time compared to other options and graphql is part of what our company in general uses.

Because the best flashy new tech is useless if only 1 out of your 100 programmers know it.
A process worth caring about leads to shipped software, and production is the wisest teacher and the most thorough QA. Shipping is important, but then you have to keep resources committed to quality improvement, not move on to the next shiny new thing.
At least that's for logging and not fracking. Logging sequesters millions of cubic meters of carbon (trees), and the BC forest license program requires audited 3rd party replanting, ensuring continuously increasing sequestration.

Even the amount of carbon sequestered in wooden telephone poles across North America is staggering, let alone houses and other structures.

Could you elaborate? As far as I understand it, the primary drivers by far were technological advancements in fracking and horizontal drilling. These technologies initially led to the gas boom and then later leveraged for oil.
The process of building a binary search tree or proving the pumping lemma are all exercises. Just like anything else being good at things takes practice, college is (or should be) as good of an environment for this as we can create.

Your examples are at least related to software. What good is Art History? The 6 courses of calculus, differential equations, and three or four other classes math classes I took over 20 years ago.

Another retort people say is that any specific language you learn in school will be obsolete soon as you graduate. That’s only true if you are teaching the latest $cool_kids_front_end_framework. Even that could be alleviated if you had courses your senior year focused on what’s in demand right now.

But, from my vantage point, the five go to industry languages haven’t changed in the past 10-15 years. By 2004, the web was already a big deal as was Jsvascript. Java and C# were big in the enterprise and while scripting languages that start with P (Python, Perl, Php) go in and out of style knowing one of them would help you move to another one and of course C/C++ will never die.

While I was in classes it wasn't job focused, or at least not directly....People telling you directly that college shouldn't be about job training are feeling a bit nostalgic and idealistic

Again, you had the privilege of not “being job focused.” So did I to an extent, I already knew how to program before going to college - I was hobbyist Basic and assembly language programmer for six years prior. The only thing four years of college did for me was expose me to two useful classes - C and data structures. But by then, I already had a C compiler for my Mac and was playing around with it.

But my parents growing up in the segregated south didn’t have that privilege. They knew their only way out was college. There only reason for going to college was to get a job. Middle class families aren’t sending thier 2.5 kids to college to be “better citizens of the world”.

So I say again, what's stopping the underprivileged student, paying for college with debt and loans, from broadening their mind, while getting the skills to pay the bills?

How much less debt could they have if society didn’t look down on “vocational training”? Schools/degrees that just focus on learning just what you need to get a job.
No the economy and workforce didn’t do those things.

Taking over global finance from the U.K. did and that definitely didn’t happen through our economy or workforce, but because we stayed out of WWII allowing Germany to bomb London daily until the U.K. was willing to turn over control of the global finance to us if we assisted them.

What our economy and workforce did once we got that power was single handedly create the single most indebted nation-state in history, $21T national debt $19T personal.
Your decision to break up was the right one, and not to blame for her suicide. Have you considered therapy? I dated someone who was borderline, though my relationship was not as bad or as long as you describe. Therapy really helped me untangle the manipulation I was under, and also helped me let go of feelings of responsibility for my ex's suffering.

It is provably so. Namely if this is a serious interest I suggest you write to the House or Senate Select Permanent Committee on Intelligence [1] [2] and request documentation of such.

In fact the court is adversarial, though not like you seem to be envisioning. There are many courts in the US, in fact most where no litigation happens because it's inappropriate for the task. So the idea that they are playing "both sides" is a non sequitur.

The role of the court is to ensure that requests are legal and there is sufficient evidence to pursue the task as requested. It's exactly the same as when a judge issues a warrant.

Hang out with people that are funnier than you... If you don't know any people that are funnier than you, then go to comedy clubs on amateur nights. If you go on a night when a professional comedian is performing, while he might be funny, chances are you won't be able to meet him or hang out with him afterwards. On amateur nights, you should be able to meet everyone afterwards. Find the funny amateurs, meet them, ask to hang out with them, and their humor will eventually rub off on you... You could try Improv classes too, as suggested by another poster.

So you think there's a construct that allows you to do what Promises do that are simpler and do not form a monad?

Please, do tell.

Can you explain what you mean by this? You seem to be under the impression that javascript the language did something extra to make Promises form a monad when in reality, the very idea of a Promise forms a monad to begin with, independent of any particular implementation in javascript.
No. The point is not the revenue, the point is to eliminate the market distorting externalities. If anything, this is actually a free market solution.

But not the sole mechanism by which you could have gained that experience.

Prior to uni I spent time drifting around youth hostels in western Europe. That was affordable even for someone from a Belfast council estate. I bunked with people from literally all around the World and learned more about humanity than I had done in 18/years prior.

Within weeks of starting a job I was sent to Illinois for three months and again had an eye-opening in blue-collar American culture. The Simpsons suddenly made sense.

In contrast for me uni was boring, partisan and segregated. It even had an International Students' Centre where they could congregate away from the locals, because their parents were paying huge fees whilst we were there on meagre Giro grant cheques. I suppose I learned about capitalism there.

I'm keener for my kids to do six years in the military before even thinking of uni.
An Insight Review of Bitcoin Cash ABC
Proposing uncoordinated action makes no sense unless you basically deny the nature of the problem, which means you can't solve it. Workable solutions will be sidelined for as long as possible in favor of appealing fantasies.

The effect of uncoordinated action on the problem may be fine, but treating it as part of the solution space on par with actual solutions is not.

e.g.:

Alice and Bob are on a team of 10 developers. Code quality is terrible. It's obvious to Meg, the manager, that something must be done before the product totally collapses.

The other 8 developers don't care. Not only that: they actively refuse to even contemplate why quality might matter, and also each of them has different, mutually exclusive, horrifyingly destructive preferences.

Carol only uses `switch`, not `if`. Dave removes "unnecessary" object allocations (all of them) because GC pressure. Eve's editor replaces every single space with tab on save.

So Bob takes Meg aside and says the team needs training. If everyone who militantly does not care and actively refuses to cooperate could just be shown the error of their ways, he says, we surely could accept a style guide everyone would follow. Training will cure obstinance and apathy with minimal investment.

Later, Alice goes to Meg and says we need a git hook that enforces linting and, actually, a CI pipeline wouldn't hurt.

I don't know, says Meg. That sounds like it would slow us down. And setting all that up could be a lot of work. Bob says we can solve it with a couple trainings and a lot less effort.

So they go with Bob's solution, with predictable results, because Meg likes it better. If everyone who cannot possibly agree would just agree, she reasons, there would be no need for major changes.

Why can't they just agree?

They're fine but they are not used correctly in this article. it comes off as very cringy
The state monad, in spite of the scary name, is an incredibly simple idea, being about functions with this signature:

S => (A, S)

That’s it. Of course this doesn’t include the definition of the monad instance, however those operations come very naturally from trying to work with, to manipulate these functions. In fact many people reinvent the state monad.

Furthermore this does a great job of simplifying impure functions that manipulate state, because for those functions the state evolution does not appear in the signature. Or in other words the state is still there, as an implicit input and output to your function, but the type system can no longer protect you and the function's output will be dependent on the history of all previous function calls. That's anything but simple.

And yes, I believe you can explain it to 10 year olds. If the 10 year old can understand functions, he can understand this as well. Your grandma might have a problem with it though.

We do have an idea, because there are countries with mandatory vaccination laws, including France where refusal to vaccinate, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_policy , may be considered a form of child abuse.

My point again is to argue that your statements along the lines "What better way to persuade than to pay for it" is not obviously true. It may also be that mandatory vaccination policies are not a good solution. However, that doesn't make your proposed change any better.
Ask HN: How engineering teams look like when super IT companies start failing
There have been many super IT companies which used to be the top of the entire industry and shine, but now being either nowhere or struggling. E.g. Xerox PARC, Bell Labs, DEC, HP, Apple in 90s, IBM, Sun, SGI, Nokia, etc. People could possibly list 100 reasons they fell off the throne. But I am curious how the internal engineering teams/culture look like when these superstars started falling from the acme. I guess the culture would change and focus on short-terms with pressures from competitors, etc. It would be interesting to know if people are willing to share their experiences. Or maybe recommend some books/articles to read about that.
> ...every single person contemplating suicide has access to means... No matter how much regulation is imposed...

Your comment might get hidden because it was flagged, but your points need to be addressed. Suicide contemplation is a function of desire, so restricting access to means may help deter some of the people who have a weaker desire to commit suicide.

> The only cure for suicide it access to mental health assistance and reasonable living conditions. Even that won't "cure" someone who truly wants to die.

This may be the best long term "solution" to suicide. The fundamental problem isn't that people are killing themselves, it's that people want to be dead. It seems unscalable to try and "solve" the problem by banning every conceivable thing that could be used as a weapon. That doesn't solve the problem any more than spraying green paint on diseased grass fixes your yard; it is a superficial fix.

Society should be measured not only by its economic output, but also by the percentage of people who would rather be dead than live in it. You can't conclude if a monkey has patience if you don't give it access to a banana. Only when the monkey has access to the banana and refuses it, can you conclude that the monkey has learned patience.
After reading some of the informed comments, I take it that the cause-effect relationship is not as direct as what's described in the article. Specifically, most of palm oil being used for food in fast-growing Asian countries, along with how much more palm oil can be produced from the same land -compared to corn oil- suggest it may not be a naive political decision from a decade ago that's now reducing the Indonesian forest footprint.
Where are you getting your statistics from?

According to a quick Google search, https://www.ucsusa.org/global-warming/science-and-impacts/sc..., China is the highest emitter, followed by the US, which emits half as much CO2, and India emits half again as much as the US.

How to Become a Vacation Rentals Host: QUICK READ, FAST, EASY
> dating back to the Middle Ages

Or realistically long before the invention of writing. Observing the world together and explaining what is happening is one of the things parents do with their young children all the time, and is also a big part of how tutoring/coaching/mentoring works in any field, and arguably a focus of good lectures as well.

Legibly adding layers of commentary in written books is a difficult typographical challenge though. Medieval-style books aren’t all that easy to read.

The biggest problem by far with many current textbooks, at least in early grades, is that they are developed by people without any particular skill or expertise, based on a terrible committee process driven largely by politics and marketing. I don’t think adding interlinear annotations would help.
Trade sanctions are the usual mechanism to influence other governments. I don’t see why this situation would be any different.
Ah something we can agree on. There should be nothing seen wrong with getting in depth job training at various kinds of vocational schools. As someone who works with a number of people out of bootcamps who are now great programmers I can only hope this is a good sign, at least in my field, some other fields are surly less progressive.
What libraries have you run into trouble with?
This argument is nothing new. Always some portion of the people who benefit from the system will support it no matter how evil it is. The condescending comment on Hacker News comments is not going to persuade simply because the premise that "self policing for the government might be good in some cases" is totally wrong.
I'm not at all surprised that vocational training and work narrows the mind. Many jobs require focusing on required skills. Initially, the goal at university is exploring many options. Maybe that's doesn't involve broadening the mind. But it certainly puts off the narrowing. Once you declare a major, however, and especially in grad school, you're definitely on the narrowing path. Because you're merely human, and need to focus.

Its in my opinion that people don't use the computer properly. There's very little you gain from social programs that you can't gain if you watch the right kind of content, read the right kind of articles, and just talk to people.

I've met far more smart people on the internet than I could ever meet in real life. In fact most people I meet in real life are stupid.
I'm agnostic on the issue, but assuming they're just transmitting keywords, it would be pretty easy (and sensible, considering the implications!) to hide them inside otherwise innocuous packets.
I think a combined cycle gas plant producing electricity at ~55% efficiency paired with a heat pump on site with a COP above 2 is actually better. Modern heat pumps actually have a COP in the 4-6 range (at least, ductless mini splits do). It’s a little surprising but it’s also cheaper to run a heat pump with a COP greater than 3 (gas is ~1/3 the price on a kWh basis). They are definitely a bit more expensive upfront, however.
Ok, so how about implementing the tax only to the extent required to get per capita emissions down to the global mean?
My thoughts exactly - crystallized much more succinctly and elegantly than I could have muddled them out.
Is that a good thing for real? From what I heard Amazon no longer will have lowest price on things. So essentially isn't this a big bait and switch strategy. I do thing in the long run Amazon's near monopoly on things will come back to bite customers as they will destroy the competition. The example of co-mingling of stock is one example. So much customer harm and fraud and they still do nothing because customers still buy from they for comfort. Any smaller company would have destroyed doing that.
OK, fine. Here I have a job to clean my pub's bathroom. It's a messy job as anyone can guess. Should the person hired drag my name on social media because it was smelly, messy etc after he agreed to take the job for the agreed fee?

what is your solution, should Amazon shut down, pay them more or what? Kids want their packages before 12/24
Why on earth would you use IOTA for this? Even ignoring its ignominious history, the security paper itself acknowledges that IOTA currently isn't an "immutable ledger" at all:

>at the moment the log entries on IOTA will be deleted after a certain time and won’t be stored indefinitely on the ledger. Therefore, it is highly recommended to download the generated CSV files from time to time, which contain all the information about the logs. It is expected that the IOTA Foundation will release a solution for this problem in the coming month.
