Your job is just that. A job. Find a hobby, find a community. Hold up your life on as many columns of meaning as you can, so that when one collapses, you do not go down with it. It will be a loss, but you will have plenty more things to live for, and over time the loss will fade.
I think you're thinking a bit too coarse grained. Do you believe that teachers should get performance based pay? Plenty of liberal teachers think so, but they have no choice but to fund an organization that lobbies for the contrary.

Same deal with unions in tech. Say you're in favor of immigration for high skilled workers. Most unions are against immigration when it has the potential to increase the supply of labor in their field (because increased supply = lower costs of labor).
My personal suspicion is that the integrated approach can eventually be a liability. If you have an integrated process/design house, process can count on design to work around its shortcomings and failures. By contrast, if you are process only, and multiple firms make designs for the process, you have to make your process robust, which means that your process staff is ready and has good practices down when it's time to shrink.

^^ Note that this is entirely baseless speculation.
Even after launch. But the Real Names policy and lack of write api killed any momentum.
yeah really not bad at all, didn't think of that solution originally. edited the article accordingly.
Wasn't aware of this, thanks.

Also interesting that three weeks before the Camp Fire began, PG&E were cutting power during high winds.[0]

There's nothing that says there's no QA/testing before releasing. "Testing in production" doesn't remove the ability to do testing before production.

You should be testing your software at every step of its lifecycle, especially in production. Production is where it matters if there's bugs.
That's really missing the best part of drop-in debugging, which is taking advantage of the REPL. You see what's wrong, and then can fiddle with code to see the exact lines of code to put in place to resolve the issue. REPL-driven development is pushed hard in e.g. Clojure land, but it's an insanely productive workflow in a ton of different languages
I try to tell people this exact same story whenever the opportunity presents itself. It might be the first thing I've noticed similar to a "When I was your age story", except movie theaters were not 25 cents... We had multiplayer online shooters in the mid-90s.
Do you realize how many devices Apple sells a year? I think they've figured out the scale thing ok.
It's kind of disingenuous to present this as an impressive prediction: "the data are changing in ways that the team didn't expect". https://phys.org/news/2012-10-voyager-left-solar.html

Also, looking at the voyager-1 data I would expect that voyager-2 is not yet out. The rate for voyager-2 only dropped to ~17 particles/sec which is more similar to the "false starts" seen in the voyager-1 data. From the article I got the impression these dips are only seen right at the heliopause.
Using machine learning to identify and remove the logos would be an interesting exercise, not too unlike how they already blur license plates and such.

(You could do this for any logo, effectively creating a "real-world adblock"...)
I didn’t. I remembered it was a space episode and figured radiolab only probably did a handful. So, I simply googled space and radiolab. After a few misfired links, I came upon the episode. I just remembered it was recent because they talked about the voyager 1 passing the solar winds.
I'm not clear on why Intel should care that there are cheaper Scaleway cores available; presumably what they care about is whether they're the most cost-effective option at AWS. An at-scale existence proof that routinely running serverside ARM software is cheaper than running it on Intel chips is problematic for them.
I think the standard PHP model (one process per request), while still popular, is being replaced with fairly robust event loops. I've been using Swoole (https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src) in my company for about a year now, and it has matured into quite a stable code base, even if the documentation is lacking at times. The performance is pretty phenomenal and it has useful async coroutines for interacting with redis/MySQL/PgSQL. I saw some benchmarks in their GitHub issues list where it outperformed Node and Go (taken with a pinch of salt obviously).

If you're afraid of something as experimental as Swoole, more stable options do exist, such as ReactPHP. Not quite as performant apparently, but seem to be popular.

In general, I find that the PHP ecosystem is still thriving. It's definitely one of the easier languages to get up and running with, and now thanks to the community, it's imbibing some of the more advanced features found in more modern languages.

I still love PHP, as much as the 10 year old me did when I started using it 20 years ago. It just gets the job done, even if it is a bit ugly at times!
You can use Automate or other apps to enable/disable Location only when you have a specified app in the foreground. It's a bit clunky because it relies on enabling GPS each time you bring the app up (which also means you get a 'Can Google keep all your location data all the time?' prompt or two). It also relies on Accessibility services which might go away or be more heavily curtailed in the future.

It seems like you might be saying that if a union can't satisfy every member of the profession it represents then it shouldn't exist. I don't agree. I feel like if you run a union that represents a profession of which the overwhelming majority of employees feel one way about an issue, then you lobby on that side of the issue. There will always be a minority that disagrees. That minority must then decide whether their views on that particular issue are strong enough to outweigh all the other benefits of the union.

I always thought performance based pay was a very right wing proposal, supported by right wing organisations.

I think that's a good point -- unions are not perfect and may support the interests of their members over the interests of other workers or society at large. However, in my view they are far preferable to any corporate board of directors, which represents only the interests of the owners of the company. Politics is struggle, it isn't just opting out of things you don't like, or else you'll end up a hermit. it's organizing for representation and power, and unions are one example of that kind of organization. An imperfect one, yes, but far preferable in my view to none at all
Even brighter than you might think. Based on the reasoning in this Quora answer [0], which looks reasonable at first glance, it's 10-20 times brighter than a full moon on Earth. If you were out there sitting on Voyager 2, you could read a book by sunlight.

The actual problem with async functions is mixing them with non-async ones. Having all futures/promises makes it easy. Now if the visual style could represent current mixed js code, that could be awesome for display and editing I'd have to try before deciding.
Someone is so incompetent that they're going to jail, or

On this point, I can see no other explanation except that government and business are colluding against the people whose data is being leaked in order to normalize a lack of privacy. Token fines are handed out on the order of seconds worth of annual profit, sometimes minutes, but nobody's going to jail, certainly nobody in the boardroom or executive bathroom. Because fuck you that's why.

Not only this, but we certainly aren't going to be able to sue as individuals over it, but why not? Why does personal data only have a value when someone sells it, why not at rest as well? These leaks contribute to financial criteria that are used to determine interest rates paid on loans, e.g., so a number value is calculable. I'm not holding my breath.

Target should have had to close stores to close the shortfall from leak penalties, and Equifax and Marriott should have their corporate charters dissolved.

Do you mean that as Tableau's cost? Not where I'm at. And maybe you'd have to pay half a mil to implement a data model if you're hiring consultants and starting from scratch, but if you're in such a state that's going to be a cost no matter the product. No product is going to model your data for you or build something like a semantic layer. Those are (mostly) completely separate tasks from the BI layer. Where I'm at we simply pointed Tableau at existing data sources built for performance reporting already.
It's possible the particle energies are very homogeneous i.e before the drop they were all just above 0.5MeV with very low std deviation and after the drop they were all just below 0.5MeV. You cannot tell from the graph what the true drop off is because you cannot tell how their energies were distributed.
There's no forced arbitration. Both parties do agree to it in employment contracts.

The problem is the balance of power is overwhelmingly with employers, so if you don't agree, you don't get a job... anywhere.

The "markup" depends on your needs. If you have a process to run every hour or so, you're likely saving money and time by not running a full instance.
I'm sure at least one person in the world has reverse-engineered the algorithm, and it might be quite simple, but the legal implications prevent its publication. If anything, it would be more likely to be on the dark web.

Setting a breakpoint takes less time (and shows drastically more of the current state) than printf. Some breakpoints are automated, like breaking on exceptions.

There's also the problem that printf affects output for web programs and therefore isn't feasible if you want to eventually see what the output is.

It's like you have a sick patient and want to see how they're doing by cutting them in half. X-rays and scans make far more sense.

China is grateful for Qualcomm and the timing of this. A case that was expected to be dismissed instead, in the wake of the Huawei arrest, becomes a tool.
If you have 2 leakers they can just run a tool to compare the difference between the file and spot any watermarks. Of course the next level is making the watermark so there is a bit that is unique to 2 users only so you will then know the exact 2 who leaked it.

I would think it is a bit different. PG&E is not government and doesn't collect taxes. Those lines originally may have been public property, but I do not know if they still are? I know PG&E talked about burieing them a few years ago after a large fire caused by overloaded transmition lines in North Cali....too expensive. Pretty sure that math Will come out the same way again.

Anyway Gov collects plenty of money for infrastructure projects they would just rather funnel the money into their own pockets via war spending.

This feels inaccurate, or misleading because you typically learn baseball when very young. Going out and swinging wildly without knowing how is hardly "playing baseball."

When I tried to learn how to golf a lot of time was spent on proper form and club choice, not just "swing!" I swung as much without a ball in front of me as with one.

> 1) You could use ML to assess the on-time reliability of each of your delivery agents (contractors or individuals)

Keep in mind that there may be flow on effects and ethical considerations. Once you assign a metric to individuals, someone is going to start attaching it to KPIs, ranking individuals by it, and ultimately firing individuals by it.

Ethics is an increasingly prominent aspect of ML.
Jeremy Johnson from IPFS will be discussing some of their recent stuff.

Heh, emphasis on "some," since he's only talking for 15min. ;)
Start by learning to listen quietly and pay attention when someone is talking about whatever they do talk about. Ask questions instead of sharing your opinion. There is a lot to learn from others this way. How they solve problems, how they perceive change in their work/life/health. You will have time on your own to reflect how you felt about what that person shared with you, no reason to reflect right away. You can do that later, once you had time to consider.

It is in the mirror of other people's souls that we get to see who we really are.

DOOM was before my time, but I really enjoyed Masters of Doom which is the story of id up to right before DOOM III. Wil Wheaton did a fantastic job with the audiobook.
Yeah, it's certainly a big success to use the plane as a bomb. I'm really just trying to say, and obviously doing a bad job at it, that i don't think access to the cockpit is required to achieve this. So far that hasn't been demonstrated, but the fact that the cockpits were so accessible in the past obviously meant that people didn't need to worry about it. I predict in the future we'll see similar attacks carried out, despite not getting access to the cockpit. It'll require creativity, but it just seems like a matter of time to me.
Now that I know what to look for, I can see it in your imgur image, but I don't actually see it on the live Google Maps link.

I do se a small one overlapping the steering wheel on the car, which doesn't appear to be particularly smart placement.
I doubt Google is going to stop development on Flutter anytime soon. Their new Fuchia OS looks like it is made completely with Flutter.

It's not a court, it's arbitration which is provided by certified and regulated firms that are supposed to be objective. And you willing agree to it. There's nothing illegal about it.

If you think arbitrators are compromised then it would be no different with a civil court, which probably has even worse objectivity.

I mean, you could have said the same about blacks in the decades between emancipation and the civil rights movement.

Certainly, there were some people who took advantage of those arbitrage opportunities to some extent. But in the case of anti-black racism, it truly was a case of human prejudice outweighing market incentives, for a very long time.

seems relatively intact to me.
Sending someone to jail just because they're deemed "incompetent" by some subjective measure is a good way to make sure that nobody ever takes that job position. Chief Info Sec Officer positions are already hard enough to fill because most competent cybersec people are wary of inevitably being fired because of some random breach that is mostly out of their control. If you add even just the threat of jailtime onto that, hardly anyone is even going to dare taking on the CISO role. And that certainly doesn't do anything to make our data more secure.

Stern punishments for fraud/lying/cheating on security audits would be great, but punishments for "incompetence" would have the opposite effect.
This, exactly. Don’t expect much movement on climate change until the political elite feel the pain. When the fisheries collapse, fires rage across our corn fields, beef prices skyrocket, and our coastal cities sink into the ocean will you see a climate change denier stand up and throw up their hands and yell “How did this happen! We need to act! Also, why is my steak so expensive. Outrageous!”
I don't even think it's that, it's just been evolution through convenience. Corporate lobbyists say "hey don't create any pain around data leaks k?" and legislative aides say "that sounds cool, can someone pass the shrimp?"

If there's a Occam-friendly alternative explanation I'm all ears, but I've been looking for a while and I haven't found anything.
I said this below, but just to throw it here anyway: while that's been true up until now, i'm expecting that to change. Using the plane as a bomb has historically required cockpit access, i expect in the future we'll see a similar attack without cockpit access...just because people will get creative and find a way, if they really want it.

Intel has always been a process first, design second company. The company was founded by physicists and chemists. Their process has always been the best in the world until just recently. Intel brings in or buys design talent when needed, but their R&D in process technology is their strongest suit even today.
What you speculate is actually happening to some extent, Intel's designs work around their fabrication quirks in order to achieve their performance, and this makes Intel unable to easily separate out their fabrication business in order to take up external contracts, or unable to effectively change designs easily in order to use external fabricators.
Performance-based pay just leads to gamification of the performance metric, not better teaching/education. Teachers should get paid a living wage, and that's what their unions should be working for.

There are certainly unions with bad politics. The ideal is a union that is embedded as part of a broader pro-worker movement that supports migrants, women, other minorities, the unemployed, etc.

It's tough to think of new entrants that might debut high on the chart, at least in pop/modern rap. If anything "mumble rap" is the standard these days and it would be pretty funny to see how the kodak/purp/yachty cohort compares to some of the other eras.

Men take more overtime, women do more domestic work, men are paid for overtime, women are not paid for domestic work. Is this not unjust?
Conveniently, I didn't read too carefully! This bit is probably what I should have been replying to, minus the zany:

looser IPR rules more favorable to rank-and-file developers seems like such a basic, shared concern that it's likely to be a plank of any organized labor in software development.

For SV specifically, I have a hard time seeing this as a major issue let alone an organizing one - mostly on the basis of personal impressions but also historically - there would be no SV at all if this was some serious impediment at a time when patents mattered a lot more than current software patents do. Why do you think it's such a big deal? It does pop up a lot on forums but lots of things do and more often than not, it's people being surprised and shocked (not entirely unreasonably) at the first AoI they get when they start working around here. But in practice, these (among halfway decent actors) are almost never used in a coercive or draconian fashion.
TLDR:

> Mechanically, the earnings gap can be explained in our setting by the fact that men take
48% fewer unpaid hours off and work 83% more overtime hours per year than women. The
reason for these differences is not that men and women face different choice sets in this job.
Rather, it is that women have greater demand for workplace flexibility and lower demand for
overtime work hours than men.
If somebody in your neighborhood was being careless and accidentally burned your house down, would you handle that situation exactly the same way you would if your house had caught on fire because it was struck by lightning?

Would it make a difference if that person had a history of disobeying safety rules, had been warned a number of times, and had caused significant damage in the past?

The fact that some subset of fires can't be prevented doesn't mean we should throw up our hands and never try to prevent any fires. When somebody causes one we should investigate and take appropriate action.
