So whatever Wirth has done was quite of interesting in terms of language research for the language geeks among us, but hardly with any market relevance.
On the "silver lining" side of that, is it conceivable that once this generation dies out the pressure for whale goods decreases? Is the younger generation also asking for this?
There are many valid points in the summary but it seems to consider only procrastination caused by perfectionism, while it's just one of the causes. Procrastination is usually the result of difficulties in regulating emotions. When we face a task we don't want to do we feel an assortment of negative emotions—we may feel bored, resentful, frustrated, anxious or guilty. We put off the task to avoid these negative emotions.

Techiniques such as Unschedule are at best just hacks that are effective only in the short term. The only way to permanently beat procrastination is to persist on work you don't want to do until it becomes a habit. Along with the usual techniques of splitting a task into sub-tasks, removing distractions, starting immediately, etc., making yourself accountable goes a long way in crushing procrastination.

If your app is team based, you could set it up so that admins of the team can reset people’s 2FA device, similar to how AWS does it with IAM roles.

I worked at IBM research for a year and I got the impression that they have quite a few people who do absolutely top-notch work. As soon as it's time to commercialize the management machine kicks in and pretty much kills any kind of innovation though. So I believe they have the tech at a research/prototype level but have no ability to bring it to market.
Thanks for the recommendation. I have to add G. Pascal Zachary's "Showstopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft" as another excellent look inside Microsoft's software development practices during the mid 1990s.

Wasnt aware of that distinction, thought it was just shifting the markings. In that case it does seem like mechanical engineering is the only way.
As aspiring data scientists or data scientists new to the field (and working in a business-centric rather than a research-centric role), it is easy to be blinded by the technical aspects of data science such as exploratory data analysis and machine learning, failing to see the forest for the trees.

My goal with this post and accompanying GitHub project is to provide a more accurate example of an enterprise-grade data science project that includes what is often missed in these sorts of examples: the rigorous positioning of a business problem and scoping of a data science solution.

The majority of the time spent to complete this project was allocated to the understanding and definition of the business problem rather than optimizing a machine learning model. As with any other complex problem, spending some time upfront to work through the various aspects of a business problem in a systematic way will reduce the risk of coming up with the wrong solution, which clearly wastes time (read: opportunity loss) and money.

The problem with their ML strategy is that it consistently over-promises and under-delivers. The marketing and messaging doesn't trail the research; the research is driven by the corporate messaging by half a decade or more. It's completely backwards, and that's just the start, but it's what you should expect from a corporation paralysed by risk aversion.

The "tradition" argument is interesting: We'll keep on doing this, because we've been doing it for a while, so let's not consider whether it's appropriate.

I'd advocate against using third party services here. In general third party services and healthcare comes with a lot of hurdles and costs which you need to evaluate carefully. Even log data stored on a 3rd party server that might have some PII can be a violation of U.S. law unless they are a contracted BAA following all the same security and legal rules required of healthcare tech.

Overall just start with strong security in mind that will meet the U.S. healthcare security rules/laws, even if you aren't in the U.S., the basic principles are just focused around strong security. People can debate the specific methods, but I will argue using almost any third party service has potential problems for you with compliance. Yes, I agree and understand those services specialize around auth usually, and for most companies that is fine and even for some more fringe areas of healthcare that is fine. But take another viewpoint, that is because those companies secure so many disparate third parties their attack surface is huge compared to your own, and a vulnerability at their end may force you to do public disclosures. That alone isn't a sole reason not to use them, but do consider all the factors.

Also, in the U.S. you will likely (depending on specific type of product) need to deal with HIPAA and other similar acts (HITECH/TRUST etc). None of these are actually all that complicated if you take them into account early, although going back and adding them later can be a struggle.

Basic principles is secure everything, have timed (short interval) token expiration, have a global token expunge, and always err on the side of reauth over pass thru. Also, if you have many backend services, do not rely on a proxy authentication service to pass off requests. Force all services to validate the authentication of each request. Yes this is "expensive" in terms of extra cycles but it minimizes the risk considerably. Lastly, store trace and audit logs of everything you can imagine, all requests.

It is possible that you are not being intentionally sidelined. This has happened to me, where a company hired a new PM to help us scale, but just took over the parts of my job that I most loved, leaving me with just the drudge work.

I was livid. “We have a new guy... who doesn’t understand the product or our customers or our process... and I am supposed to answer to HIM now‽”

Some advice I wish I could go back 10 years and give myself:

1. “Own what you own” which is a variation of “choose which hill to die on”. If you feel like something is “yours” you will resent people coming in and fucking it up. If you conceptualize something as “theirs” you can feel good doing your best to make it better. Being a humble servant can feel bad, but it feels better than being fired for having angry outbursts (trust me on this one).

2. Understand your feelings well enough to talk about them. That might involve talk therapy. Modern CBT is really great.

3. Remember that anything you love can break your heart. And that is OK. Better than not loving what you do. Maybe it is time for the relationship to end? Maybe you can salvage it?

4. Think and talk in terms of both work/life balance and work-life balance. If having a diverse set of things to do at work is important to you (it is to me, but not everyone) tell the company this. Some people love to be heads down coders in one layer. Other people need to work across more layers. Some people like to do PM or architecture work in addition to coding. Your managers won’t know what you need if you don’t tell them, and you can’t tell them if you don’t understand it yourself. (See #2).

Good luck! You are not in this alone!
Consider the threat model:

An adversary takes over the email account, and checks if they reused their password on your site. If they didn't, then they'll try to reset the password, and you should check the second factor before resetting the password.
If they did reuse their password, then you should check the second factor on login (assuming it's coming from a previously unrecognized source).
At this point, the attacker will either give up, or attempt to contact your support channels, impersonating the user.

It's up to you what restrictions you place on your support mechanism for resetting 2FA. I would suggest a combination of the following:

- photo of a currently valid credit card associated with the account

- photo ID with address that matches billing address

- mandatory 7 day delay in the reset

- prove access to the payment method by issuing a payment for some fractional amount and request the amount, then refund it (or don't and keep it as a "security fee")

But no matter what you do, please please please be consistent. Train your entire support staff (if any), keep records of when people talk with you, don't disclose when the last time you talked was, and insist on following a process. If your process fails, see how and improve it.
Can you expand on what you mean by the "self quarantining of the rich"?
The problem is that you don't feel like fulfilled at your current workplace. I can guarantee everyone had that feeling at one point or another. I have a PhD in engineering and I'm still not fulfilled. It's not about degrees, how many certs, how many side projects, etc. It's about life. You already answered your own question - you'd be happier to be free to explore things and share the knowledge. The keywords are "to be free", "to explore," "to share knowledge." How to make them into something sustainable is the question. And I suspect they are not the only things you want. The modifier is to be GREAT at them.

" I don't think this is a fair comparison because we breed these animals for farming, so technically we could breed as many as we need to sustain our habits."

They still suffer greatly. Maybe a little extreme but by the same logic we could breed humans for slavery and say that it's OK because they got bred for it.

"commercial farming of whales will cause the extinction of whales. "

Not if done with proper quotas. It's not different from any other type of fishing.

If you’re interested in this topic I really recommend The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams (the director of animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit):

Most of the points from the article seem to be derived from the stuff the book covers in more details.
The link goes even deeper than that. Cosines have an intimate relationship with Euclidean distance, and the fundamental statistics concept of variance is in turn intimately related to Euclidean distance... and Gaussian distributions (perhaps the most continuous distribution family because of the Central Limit Theorem) are parameterized directly by mean and variance. And Gaussian models have a convenient habit of reducing to straightforward linear algebra as a result. The fact that Gaussian problems also happen to be nicely differentiable is yet another bonus. Oh, and least-squares linear regression (read: fit a line to optimize the Euclidean distance between your prediction vector and the data) is equivalent to a Gaussian maximum likelihood model.

Basically, everything boils down to high-school trigonometry, because it's the most natural way to define distances in our world. I still marvel at it.

My understanding is that aerodynamic modelling and simulator runs have shown that a committed decision to push nose-down, regain airspeed and recover from the stall, could have been successfully initiated all the way down to 5000 feet. The Captain had another 2mins 15secs (approximately) before reaching that level, and another 30 secs before impact after that.

That must be the weirdest tech talk yet.
Others have already touched upon a few other points in your argument, but quite frankly, intelligence is not a good metric.

And neither is a creature's ability to measure morality.

Do we know how a pig measures morals? Do we know how to measure a pig's awareness? To an extent, we can measure a pig's intelligence, but is it simply 'doing what is repeated over and over' or is there actual understanding of the why behind an action?

Quite frankly, we don't know. We're not even close to understanding how to measure such things.

Because, right now, humans only really understand humans and how the human brain works. We can measure morality, intelligence, and awareness in humans, to a point. And yet...Shit, the brain is one of the least understood parts in humans still.

And we have very, very limited understanding of how animals "see" awareness, consciousness, intelligence, and moral ambiguity.

That isn't even why we need to do more brain research on animals.

Humans need to survive. That's our base-code. Survive. And quite frankly, humanity is on the verge of our own mass-extinction. Maybe brain research wont save us in the end, but it might help us find ways to continue living as a species when the Earth is a ball of dust.

And even then, the potential to understand ourselves, and animals, even more has amazing possibilities. Yes, five hundred years from now, we might look back and think, 'Damn, they did that to an animal?!'

But we would also understand why we had to do it, just like how we understand why people a hundred years ago experimented on animals and humans to develop our scientific knowledge to where it is today.
I have a small, personal website. If Cloudflare doesn't like me, it's not a problem, because I don't need their service anyway.

If DS has so much traffic that it needs service from someone like Cloudflare to not collapse under the load, well then maybe some of those people should start their own hosting service that can handle that much load. Otherwise, it seems the DS crowd isn't willing to put their money where their mouth is, so I have no sympathy.
You think you're getting closer to the truth by being cynical, but what you're really doing is overshoot the target so far that you're basically just as far from the reality of debates as the uncynical view is.

I read your link, and my biggest disagreement with it is that it (a) basically uses a very flimsy strawman argument that mischaracterizes the other side and (b) its conclusion is baffling and illogical.

Of course the reason we should fight global warming is that it will have huge deleterious effects on humans that are avoidable. Yes, I agree, "the planet" will continue with or without us, but most people would prefer the "with us" option.

Finally, you end with "All we are doing is making the earth more suitable for humans to live, that’s it." What?? Tell that to the billions of people that live along the coast, or say anyone that lives in Bangladesh.

> but if it is then I would also say that not all virtue signalling is bad.

Well, sure, I wouldn't say "virtue signaling" is "bad". Just that on a scale of 0-10 of virtuosity, it's like a 2 (but not negative, i.e. unvirtuous). I usually see it in the context of "this is just virtue signaling", meaning it's only a 2, while the accused is maybe acting like they're doing something more of a 5. Like, I see it more as calling out someone for being a little pompous, not insincere.

I've never accused anyone of virtue signaling or been accused, just seen it thrown around from time to time, so maybe my understanding of its meaning is different from yours. I see now in the article that the definition they're using is more aligned with yours, so maybe I'm the odd one out here. I'll have to pay attention the next time I see it "in the wild".
