You might be surprised. Ernest Hemingway, an avid drinker, coined the term "lime" so he could distinguish it from other types of citrus in the Daiquiri, one of his favorite drinks. He also popularized the term Lost Generation, generally regarded as the first generational cohort with a name, although the term was originally coined by Gertrude Stein.

Exactly. Everyone reads "Office 365" and think that it only means Word/Excel/Powerpoint, when it actually includes Sharepoint and Exchange as well as OneDrive.

The cost and support savings for enterprises going from on-prem to cloud with stuff like Sharepoint can be huge. And Microsoft, for all its faults, understands the enterprise market in a way that Google and Apple definitely don't. I think Amazon has a better understanding of enterprise customers but they don't have the product offering to rival what Microsoft brings to the game. And because of the synergies Microsoft can offer, they can eat into the pie of other companies like Salesforce. Dynamics CRM isn't as good as Salesforce but it's easier to justify if you've already bought into the rest of the Office365 ecosystem.

I think Microsoft is poised for serious growth with their cloud offerings that is going to drive strong stock price growth for years to come.

As stated in the post itslef, just use GNU parallel: "But wait, what about GNU parallel? Actually, it turns out that GNU parallel does give us this capability. It supports sending lines of input to commands over stdin with its --pipe argument and sending multiple lines to the same task with its --round-robin argument. And it doesn't have a 4096-byte-long line limit, and you don't need to worry about wrapping your workers with pad and unpad. So, you should probably just use GNU parallel. :)"
No, no person is a animal and it's misguided and inappropriate to make the comparison.

People who behave cruelly aren't animals, they're people who behave cruelly and we should seek to minimize/stop their cruelty and ability to inflict it.

I think OP was probably referring to the 'dead Main Streets' and 'neighborhood near the plant that closed is totally struggling' phenomenon. I've been around the same areas and see seriously struggling places. When I was growing up, the Main Street was a little better but still bad, but the new strip mall stores/outlets/Walmart out by the highway were doing great. Now, the stores around the Walmart aren't even alive.

But that's the point - the profitable tracks were probably profitable before privatization, too (no idea about Japan, but it was the case in Germany). Service in low density areas is the crux of the matter: railroad is a necessary infrastructure there, and if a nation wants to keep quality of life high in these areas, the tracks have to be operated at a loss.

It's the same with postal services, broadband access and similar infrastructure.

Of course a society as a whole can decide to stop subsidizing these low density areas, but that discussion is largely orthogonal to the privatization topic.

Is this a reference to shooting deaths? If so, you should be aware that there are ~100 mass shooting deaths a year despite the sensational coverage they get in the media. America does have many more gun deaths than other countries, but the majority of those deaths are suicides and a majority of the homicides are in high crime areas. This is a problem that we can address, but mass shootings, though tragic and terrifying, are not a large public health issue.

So awesome to hear about making challenging career changes later in life. I think people can get a bit too settled and may believe that it's impossible to change.

All the talk about identity in this piece makes me think that is what makes it harder to shift careers: if you make what you do a part of your identity, then changing what you do can become harder because you are changing who you are.

Personally, I really don't think my career defines me in any way. My career is like a furniture for my life, and I like it to be useful and not too uncomfortable, but someday I may put it out on the curb and redecorate.

You know that's very true. If you can't present a file because it's "lost" (which happened not infrequently) the regulators don't know whether you've done your due diligence or not and you get a slap on the wrist for deficient paperwork. On the other hand, if your files demonstrate inadequate due diligence you're in for quite a bit of trouble.

I'm a very happy Microsoft customer, both personally and in business. I have issues with some of their stuff, but I've had issues with my Apple and Google devices/services...so it's just part of it.

I think the big issue has been since he shifted focus off Windows the QA has fallen off. Thinking "Windows insiders" would uncover bugs that their former internal teams would have normally done...I think, just doesn't work as they planned. Supposedly this is being addressed. And despite Microsoft canning some projects their support for those things are well beyond what Apple or Google would do. But things like Azure Sphere, Hololens etc are very exciting. Their demos for industrial usage at Build/Ignite always amaze me. AWS/GCS seem to be media/consumption driven, while Azure is driven by makers/producers.

Baby boomers were teenagers and young adults from the late 50s through the 80s. So the birth of rock-n-roll, the protest movements of the 60s and 70s, emergence of drug culture, the sexual revolution, disco, the crack epidemic, and the birth of rap.

As a Gen X'er I can personally remember the mid-70s to the late 80s and the hate spewed out at baby boomers by previous generations. I don't think the Millennials have it any worse or better. Those who are currently going through it always see it as the worse.

I think out of everyone my generation had it the easiest. We were teenagers and young adults during a time of general peace and prosperity.

Sorry but I kinda disagree. I'm a Millennial with Baby Boomer parents and I'm definitely not poorer than them. No, I wasn't born rich, but I'm definitely earning more than my parents. Okay, maybe not as much as my Mom but this article is such BS. It all just depends from person to person you know. I hate it when generations always crap on millennials like we're the worse thing that's happened in the world. Have you met the teenagers? The young millennials? No? Well there you have it.

I remember that too. suddenly everybody you saw had a Macbook. I always thought that part of the initial iOS success was that a lot of developers already had Macbooks and were ready to develop apps on it. I think we would have seen much less apps if the Macbook hadn't been that popular before.

If they continue to neglect the Mac platform and devs really start moving away from Mac iOS may suffer quite a bit. Microsoft would have a great opportunity to take over if they made the Surface devices a little cheaper and higher quality. My Macbook 2014 is getting a little old and I am really torn what to do next. The Surface devices we have at work are quite expensive and still not as good as a Macbook but the latest Macbooks are not that appealing either.

Hi, I'm Carlos, the founder

This is a project which started as kind of a joke -- hence the pun on the name.

We started by developing a supercharged Excel with macros to forecast demand and set prices based on that forecast. A few customers liked the results and we did a bit of consulting with it.

Long story short, we thought it had potential and we decided to turn it into a SaaS, with real AI. Surely performance is much better than those of our old excel :)

It's good to hear about wheat production - that wasn't exactly going well for them after losing Ukraine.

"Their oil industry, which used to be towering, is 'only' worth about the annual sales of Apple, or Google + Microsoft. "

This isn't a good thing though. There is no credit to be given here - it causes an over-reliance on oil prices, and any time there is a market crash, they slash budgets. Pretty horrible.

"With their current approach to political leadership, it's hard to imagine where the economic growth is going to come from to enable them to devote a lot more resources to their non-military space industry."

The 1918 flu was exceptional in that aspirin recently became a generic drug and the recommendation was to soak the patient in it. The symptoms of aspirin poisoning are similar to those of pneumonia (the main cause of death via flu).

>"In February 1919…Edward's fever kept getting higher and higher…aspirin…was given to him by the 1/2-handful over and over…Edward sweated through his mattress…Dr.…could not save his patient.

[...]

A confluence of events created a “perfect storm” for widespread salicylate toxicity. The loss of Bayer's patent on aspirin in February 1917 allowed many manufacturers into the lucrative aspirin market. Official recommendations for aspirin therapy at toxic doses were preceded by ignorance of the unusual nonlinear kinetics of salicylate (unknown until the 1960s), which predispose to accumulation and toxicity; tins and bottles that contained no warnings and few instructions; and fear of “Spanish” influenza, an illness that had been spreading like wildfire."

I was aiming at an intentionally more modest/mild version of that sort of idea.

(I am currently too much of a statist to really reject the idea of a state being "legitimate" , in a way that probably distinguishes it from gangs in general.)
I agree.

One thing I would suggest is observe other people (and yourself), how they’ve turned out, and what conditions may have contributed to their current state (for good and for bad).
Our failure to come to an understanding over this, admittedly inflammatory issue, may be because you think to me "Nazi" means "Germans", and of course literally it does. But in the outraged claim that "America is the 4th Reich", kthxbai, there is a curious position you perhaps would not have considered .. the crimes against humanity committed by America and its allies, on the basis of entirely projected (i.e. not defensive) power, is pretty much what the Nazi's would be doing - dropping bombs on innocent people with impunity - were they still here today, speaking German.

I care not iota that America are the new oppressors. I care, really, that the oppression is occurring. The new American boot is just as heinous as the old German ones were.
This is the best number I could find from the Oracle vs google lawsuit. Google didn’t dispute the number.

Thanks to a lawyer, we know now that Google has made $31 billion in revenue and $22 billion in profit from its Android operating system....

That’s over Android’s entire existence.

But if the $31 billion total is correct, Google has earned less money from Android throughout its existence than Apple earned from iPhone sales in fourth quarter of 2015, when it brought in $32.2 billion in revenue.

> I absolutely disagree with the OP about holding individual software engineers responsible and even banning them from ever working in software engineering again. Engineers take orders from management and executives. Even with the loudest protest possible they are often shutdown by higher ups. Sometimes the noisy engineers are replaced by more docile yes types or shunned.

Both companies and individual software developers should be held responsible.

Professional ethics dictate the behaviour of professionals is almost all fields. Software developers love to use the term engineer, but all other professional engineers have strict professional ethics codes. They usually require evidence of competence, which can be revoked, and require that professional engineers must refuse orders or instructions that they know or reasonably suspect are unlawful, could cause harm, or for which they’re not competent to carry out. If their superiors insist, they must refuse, to the point of termination or resignation.

When a professional engineer makes an honest mistake, they are not prohibited from working (unless it stems from extreme incompetence). However, where they are negligent, they are, usually pending remedial training and assessment. They can be additionally criminally responsible where their negligence causes harm.

I believe the same should be true of software developers. It would create a sustainable incentive structure, where good developers (who are already rare and in high demand) could refuse unlawful or unethical instructions on the grounds that they would be personally responsible. It would also allow technical leadership to make a stronger business case for developing secure, lawful, ethical software.

I also think computing is a human right, and anybody should be allowed to write software. Professional standards and ethics should only apply to the development of software that could affect human life, safety, or privacy.
