Amazon Targets Unprofitable Items, with a Sharper Focus on the Bottom Line
In the hypothetical, with 100 asians and 1 black all applying with identical credentials, if the school picks the 1 black student and 1 of the 100 asians, then the school certainly is being racist. They may be saying that they are going for a diverse student body, but they are choosing the black student because that student is not like the others in 1 category - race. So they are using race as a factor, and in this hypothetical, the determining factor. The fairest thing would be to put all 101 applicant names into a hat and pick 2.
I prefer third option: define two small functions inside the large one. That way, the "root" level of the large function is still small, but you can clearly see the scope in which the two smaller ones are used.
>"14C, as stored in tree rings, is being measured to accurately determine the atmospheric 14C levels of the last 10000+ years. This is essential in getting precise dates for historic and prehistoric materials."

Can you explain more how this removes dependence on historical dates? Tree rings need to be calibrated too since more than one can form per year or years can be skipped based on the weather (too cold or too little precipitation -> growth stops).

This actually should have been the headline, not the fact that a school is still using some old technology. My guess is that an "approved vendor" has sold them on a ridiculously overpriced system and that 90%+ of that cost would go straight to the vendor's bottom line. The hard part there is becoming an approved vendor. There are companies that do nothing other than go around to various county/state agencies and get these approvals. Then they cozy up to every purchase decision maker at every government entity they can get to within the jurisdictions in which they have been approved, and essentially just drop ship drastically overpriced products to them. It's great work if you can get it.

Abstract

> It is well-known that the simply typed lambda-calculus is modeled by any cartesian closed category (CCC). This correspondence suggests giving typed functional programs a variety of interpretations, each corresponding to a different category. A convenient way to realize this idea is as a collection of meaning-preserving transformations added to an existing compiler, such as GHC for Haskell. This paper describes such an implementation and demonstrates its use for a variety of interpretations including hardware circuits, automatic differentiation, incremental computation, and interval analysis. Each such interpretation is a category easily defined in Haskell (outside of the compiler). The general technique appears to provide a compelling alternative to deeply embedded domain-specific languages.
The basic nature of the instructions reminded me of talking to a guy I met in Charlotte who was mad about how young people today don't really know why editing text or photos is called "cut and paste." He was a professional photographer who took many iconic photos of stock car races from the 50s through the 80s or 90s, and was good friends with (for example) Bill France of NASCAR.

Anyway, he published a magazine (or maybe more than one, I can't remember) with photos and stories about racing. They had to be literally cut and pasted onto boards before printing. It was genuinely irritating to him that people could simply point and click at a scissors icon to edit their layout and still call themselves "editors."

Of course, I listened with great interest, since I'm still irritated that CLI isn't the standard any more.

Considering the percentage of news sites that can't even scroll properly on iOS, I'm not sure this is a bad thing.
Speaking as a reasonably-experienced audio and DSP programmer -- and considering that the feature has existed in just about every home theater receiver for the past 20 years -- yes, it's trivial.

YouTube has the advantage of being able to preprocess the audio track in its entirety, although most implementations work on a block basis and don't need that. A 'night mode' feature would take about one weekend's worth of work from start to finish.

You would also need a fairly sophisticated content detection system (don’t distort anything that is music, which is a huge use case on YouTube for example).

No, you need a button that the user can press to turn the feature on and off. It should default to 'off.' For extra points, make it a slider.

Not to mention adding _any_ steps to their intake pipeline requires more processing power and data moving than you and I will ever touch in our lifetimes.

Compared to the work needed to process the video itself, it would be a total non-issue.

Things like this highlight to me how insanely underpaid system engineers, hardware engineers and software engineers are on a net present value basis.

You get paid based on some short future time window perception of the value your labor is adding. When really random people were coming to work some random Tuesday adding a few lines of code, documenting something so that someone else a few years later could add robustness or change a capability a few years later, etc., and it adds up to something that gets the job done for 30 years.

It’s a marvel.

I’ve worked on various projects that resembled this in some ways, primarly a defense research system for simulating aircraft properties and susceptibility to threats, built in the 80s and 90s in C, and still being constantly used for top level intelligence briefings in the 2000s.

To say that the engineers who made the foundational system to have a prayer of living for 20+ years were underpaid relative to the value they created is just a ludicrous understatement.

Biometrics is third-factor authentication (something you are). Its purpose is to supplement second-factor authentication (something you have), which is in turn meant to supplement first-factor authentication (something you know). You can also add a fourth factor (somewhere you are, or location) as an additional authentication factor as well. But it's this key point --that biometrics is meant to be one layer of multi-factor authentication -- which vendors seem to have ignored by conflating its function as supplement with its function as replacement, which it is decidedly not.
> You've never had or seen a boss pulling in 7 figures emailing their employees earning a fraction of that after midnight and being upset at the lack of response?

Absolutely. Though my experience is that the exec is in the office too when that happens...and on a 5000, 10000 or more employee company, if the employee is being called on to do that every now and then...multipled by the amount of employees being called to do that every now and then...generally said exec is basically never sleeping (probably why they're so grumpy).

And yeah, a lot of people would take the role in a heartbeat when offered.... and cry themselves to death in the bathrooms at every opportunities until they either jump off a bridge or quit.

With that being said, a ton of people would do just fine in any of the categories I listed (skill, connection, willingness). What's rare isn't people with one of those things. It's people with all of those things. Having been part of the loop to hire execs, it's really hard. I've seen a lot of people being promoted to those roles who didn't really want it from lack of candidates.

And then there's things like board members, who usually get the spot simply because they invested in the company: you own it, you get to run it into the ground if you want to (within legal limits, of course. But that's why they get the spot over someone else).

Finally...discrimination aside (and that is certainly a problem when it comes to high positions, and it definitely needs to be fixed), being lucky isn't immoral, IMO.

I am too and I have also being able to find good paying jobs.

But back in 2008 there were also good paying jobs for good C and C++ developers. But when I looked at the direction that the local industry was going, I could see that the age of the bit twiddler was dying locally and there were more jobs for “enterprise developers”.

I had a choice between making $20K more as a senior C++ developer or $7K more as a mid level C# developer. I took the latter even though I had 12 years (staying at one company way too long) of development experience.

So that’s what I concentrated on for the next 9 years - the Microsoft stack.

Late last year, I was the dev lead for a decent size company with a small IT department. I was looking to change jobs and once again I saw the writing on the wall. There were a few jobs willing to pay what I wanted writing C# but lots of companies wanted Node/React/React Native.

This time, once again I was offered $15K more as an architect leading a team of 10+ developers writing apps in C# on Windows servers, running Sql server and I had another job offer as a “senior developer” at a smaller company making only $5K more but would get a chance to not only fill in some technical gaps on my end - front end coding with React and back end with Node. I would also get to lead initiatives to make the company more “cloud native” and to restructure the architecture for high availability, scalability, etc. and help build a dev ops culture. But with no official reports (that’s a good thing).

Looking ahead three years, I knew what the better choice would be for my career. Sure there is money now for C# developers but that’s not where the market is going.

But honestly, the salaries for developers and even architects who want to stay mostly hands on and don’t want to go into management outside of Silicon Valley/NYC is stagnating. I realized from my last job that the real money is working for consulting companies with titles like “Implementation architects” and “Digital transformation consultants” who help companies move to the “fourth level of the cloud maturity model”. Yes typing that left a bad taste in my mouth.

So that’s really the game plan - but to speak to all levels of the organization, I need a “more modern tech stack” as one of the recruiters told me.

The second example is exactly what your describe.

A high level function forms the conceptual idea, it contains many functions that are specify that concept, and within each are implementations.

If each function does one thing, it composes other functions, you're forced to follow this type of design.

I suspect the problem is often that engineers try their best to write objective documentation and it unconsciously goes to an absurd extreme — “I shouldn’t presume to tell them how they might want to use this function, let’s just stick to the facts.”

(Btw this is an illustrative example of why you can’t have “news that just states the facts.” That principle doesn’t even work for technical documentation! You need some degree of interpretation and empathy for writing to make sense.)
Great learning experience me think ;)
Yeah, a bunch of little libraries and obscure experiments, while people want drivers. Repository counts don't mean anything. You need context.

So just look at their competitors. AMD and Intel both have many dedicated employees directly committing into Mesa. There are two open source implementations of Vulkan for Radeon GPUs, ffs. AMD is working on Radeon Open Compute to get all the code written against CUDA to work anywhere. There is no proprietary Linux driver for Intel GPUs. BTW even Broadcom and Qualcomm are supporting Mesa now. While nvidia uh.. was interested in nouveau on Tegra a little bit but is completely against nouveau on desktop.
