> reports of sexual harassment and racism

Your leadership needs to (internally to the company) publicly state areas where they have zero tolerance and live by it. Suppose your star coder is a racist? They better be 100.00% perfect at keeping that toxicity bottled up privately, because if even a whiff of it leaks out detectably, they get fired, even if they’re the most or last competent engineer in the place...

Same for sexual harassment. Publish guidelines for intra-company dating. Make clear that sexual harassment will not be tolerated anywhere in the company.

If engineers (or anyone) are allowed to harass people without swift and unambiguous leadership intervention, you’re fucked.

I echo the thoughts elsewhere here that, based on the couple paragraphs of your perspective that you shared, you seem to have a serious leadership problem in tech. Someone (inside or out) needs to come in, figure out what the business needs from engineering, put engineering on track to deliver that, and be the point person to take arrows on both sides. Engineering: stop acting like whiny, entitled brats and start delivering for the company; if you have concerns about anything, bring them to me or my LT. Everyone else: if you have concerns with engineering, bring them to me.

You may or may not also have a pay problem, but you almost surely have a leadership problem.
I believe it is better to say their purchasing power compared to an unskilled worker, is much, much weaker compared to a lot of other places.

+1. We take for granted the maturity of RDB systems, but it makes for a stark comparison to GraphDBs.

Calculating over or walking over graphs sucks because there is usually a better, less brute way for any particular query.

Unless you have a set of use cases that require the ability to query across near enough random and unindexable subsets of a graph (eg Facebook), you’ll probably be better off with a DB and a spot of flattening.

Even things on dead planet like the moon can't survive indefinitely because meteors either striking it or dusting it, even if we etched the moon with nuclear blasts contour would get fuzzy and disappear over million years.

One option would be to put in one Lagrange point some high quantity of radioactive material. You'd need to pick quantity and material well tho, because material with short hair life would cool off to get and become just a rock and materials with too long half life would be very hard to detect due their low emissions.

Give it a shape nature would have had time to replicate like an empty cylinder and it would likely be the best way to leave artifact for million years into the future.

Americans have the best care in the world (for those with decent insurance) but they also spend nearly 3x as much on health care than Britain. I wish I could cite these numbers, but I cant find the link anymore.
> ... They want the opportunities of a big city where there are more people, but they don't "like" people. That's why they choose to live rural and have that become part of their identity. That "identity" is wholly incompatible with a densly populated area. ...

Or maybe they just like living somewhere cheap and with plenty of space around them. You know, like anyone sensible would, other things being equal. It has nothing to do with them being misanthropes. Or are Chinese and Indian folks so much more empathetic than us Westerners also, because they live in such population density?
You have a point but you argue it badly. Price of beer in a bar is a tourist measure. Wage of an engineer is a expat measure.

The article talks about living, working, procreating and eventually dying in Sweden, so lets talk about that.

Many things are expensive in Sweden. When we think about living, we must consider things that are not expensive. Swedish type system arguably very strongly directs and limits the choices from the economic perspective.

- Beer is always expensive but dental care is always cheap. You can't choose between chugging more beer and having hole in your choppers. You can choose to having the hole if you insist, but the beer is still expensive.

- You can't choose between more beer and good education and healthcare for your children. The Government has made that choice for you.

- Similarly you are forced to live with affordable broadband due to government regulation enforced on companies to protect the consumer.

The question of living is Sweden should be decided by thinking how much your own goals align with the government enforced baseline. Temporarily embarrassed millionaires don't want to live in Sweden.
Can't speak for your country, but when I look at entry level job candidates, I look for people that have a personal project and passion. Portfolios are good, but I like adding people that can show they dabbled at home, even if it's a personal file server, or game server.

Full CS people probably have a leg up on you, but it's not unsurmountable. Many full CS candidates I've seen only have education portfolios and no personal projects. Again here, I found people who do full stack work on their own projects are easier to train and bring on board.

Your milage will vary -- most of what I said above means nothing if your resume is only read by a computer.

So my advise is maintain a personal project or three -- even small ones. Don't go too wide on languages, focus on 1-2 main languages and go deeper. It's easier to side step to a new language later (most of our new hires don't know Typescript, sometimes only barely JavaScript, but if they know ably programming language well, they tend to pass our open-internet code challenges)
The functionality of the bus shelters in the article appears to be to educate people about the wrong priorities and unappealing aesthetics of modern architecture. They're doing quite well in that regard.

> Americans have the best care in the world

I've been reading that a lot, but I can't find any decisive evidence supporting it - what leads you to think that?
That old refrigerator likely eats a ton of power and will kill the atmosphere if it breaks open too.
Well, yes, you're right – like beauty, readability is in the eye of the beholder. I've been writing a ton of Scala code lately, and my version is very Scala-like, so it looks better to me.

That said, I think there are several advantages:

• It's more compact, with fewer lines and fewer characters, but at least as readable

• There's simple separation of concerns: it only has a single print statement – the whole range is transformed, then printed – which makes it easy to refactor later if I need to use those values for something other than printing

• It's obvious that all of the cases are handled

• In an amazing coincidence, it looks like code I write :) so I personally prefer it

If you're implying that there are times that if/elif/else syntax is more readable than pattern matching, then yes, absolutely! There are times when one is preferable, and times when the other is.

Pattern matching is especially nice when you need to include conditionals and types:

vehicle match {
case car: Car if (car.passengers > 2) => addToHovLane(car)
case truck: Truck => reject("No trucks allowed")
case _ => totalTraffic += 1
}

There's a lot of casting going on there, and it's all handled in the pattern match. Converting this to if/else statements would require a lot of type tests and intermediate variables. Personally, I think that would make things harder to read.

That said, sometimes (often!) the more compact code is, the harder it is to read. I think it's always worth taking a few extra characters to improver readability. So I only use pattern matching with types and discards when I think it makes the code more readable and more flexible (e.g. easier to refactor, improves separation of concerns).

BTW, thanks for pushing back on this. I'm working on the 4th edition of Head First C# (O'Reilly), and C# added syntax very similar to this (borrowed from F#). Writing this reply gave me the opportunity to start thinking through how I want to teach it.

> how did the previous sentient species deal with it

I like your thinking :-) It's the kind of fantasizing that I'm convinced is at the core of human progress, based on hardly more than a number of currently unknowable "what if"s.

It is, as you point out difficult to know if such a species could have existed. But if they did and if they tried to survive, we might be fairly certain that they failed barring something even more fantastical, currently only to be found in the darkest corners of youtube.

The real utility of this line of thought is IMO how we might try to survive the same conditions, since there is no real assurance that it could never happen again. We don't have the answer yet, agree.
I’m a couple generations maybe. Moving from a poor area to a rich one and working your butt off for your kid’s education so they can reach professional successes you didn’t have the opportunity to is an archetypical immigrant story.
Even if that’s the case, rewarding Apple for that decision is still the right thing to do because in a free market, companies will make decisions where they earn the most money. If the company that out of selfish reasons is promoting privacy makes the most money, other companies will also shift to a more privacy oriented business model rather than business models which rely on selling people’s information.

The burbs sprang up around a city and economy 3-4x as large as it is today. Coupled with an overall shift in preferences towards urban living among millennials, it seems unlikely that there will ever again be a need for as much suburban housing around Detroit as there was in 1950. In other words, is it really reasonable to expect all of these areas to rebound?

This too will be co-opted by the greedy who look to profit in the short term, even if just to profit in the app. The boom bust cycle just shows up too many times in history not to be caused by a failure in the human psyche.
Indeed the Sykes data is long-term history, and I think of a middle-class sample. But it does teach us that received wisdom was badly wrong there, which should make us less confident of the same wisdom elsewhere.

The bone marrow study was 2012, and no class has a monopoly on Leukemia. I would not be surprised if there were a class gradient, but an average of under 2% doesn't leave room for a very big underclass to be scoring 20% or 30%.

These are England and Germany, things could be different elsewhere, I don't know whether there is good data.

Trouble is that while cities may be rich, the people living there are not.

It is true that cities are the likely home to those with incredible fortunes, but they are also home to many in abject poverty. In fact, while average incomes tend to be higher in big cities, median incomes in big cities tend to be lower. This suggests that you have some people doing really well, and a whole lot of people doing not so great.

Which is all well and good if you are, say, a software developer and can move to the Bay Area to make $150,000+ per year, but that only describes a very small segment of the population who are able to do that. The typical person is going to find themselves in the "not so great" category. McDonalds pays more or less the same whether you are in the big city or in a small town. The average rural (or urban, for that matter) resident is not going to become a software developer on a whim.

Moving from a poor area, where cost of living is generally lower (although not always), to a rich area, where cost of living is generally higher, does not mean that you, yourself, will become rich. For the average person, that only results in skyrocketing costs, leading to a reduction in quality of life.

I've had many coworkers and several bosses with PhDs and I've not seen any negative attitude from them.

In the past I did work with a couple of guys from academia who had little interest in building stuff we could commercialize and that was challenging in the context of a for-profit company.

Still, that was the exception and not the rule.
I come from a small town (a few thousand people). I was able to “get out” because I found a remote position.

ESP-12f module running with tasmota firmware consumes around 30mA when measured on the 5V side, if you want to go further down, deep-sleep option of ESP8266 is the way to go, but tasmota firmware doesnt support deep-sleep(may be you need node-mcu firmware to achieve sub-mA consumption). There are CR-123 3v battery powered ESP8266 temperature/humidity products which use deep-sleep mode and report the sensor samples every hour so that devices operates atleast a year on battery power(check out shelly H&T product)

> Working in Canada where my degree was not certified, all the PEng people would get seriously uptight if I even said "I studied Engineering" or "I have a bachelor of Engineering".

As a Canadian engineering graduate myself, I don't think that's true. Saying you studied engineering is fine, that's literally what the degree is. Calling yourself an engineer is a different story, and that requires more work. It's like calling yourself a doctor without a doctorate. Notice how I didn't call myself an engineer, and that's because I didn't get my PEng.

How Can Information Theory Help the Economy Grow?
I'm a PhD dropout, but I did do lots of (somewhat poor) research leading up to that. For me, I was always a practical type, which made me less good as a researcher and more focused on engineering. Throughout my time in school though, I'd worked on the side (first commercializing our raytracing work, then consulting for Sony Pictures Imageworks).

I still stay involved in research, as I attend SIGGRAPH every year and often go to HPG. But, fundamentally, I'm sort of bad at imagining what will be a problem several years from now, and much better at solving something that's right in front of me. That led me to doing fairly systems-ey hardly research work, and then doing that as a full-time job :).
His entire point is that Apple does in fact meet his needs as a user. It meets those needs precisely because of the choices they have made. This may mean that Apple doesn't meet your needs as a user. However, asking Apple to be all things to all users is an impossible requirement.

The city has a concentration of talent and capital, this doesn’t mean it doesn’t have other things also. In fact, cities are seen as stepping stones for many that lack much talent or capital, which is why they have a lot of poor people: the cities are not creating these people themselves, quite the opposite actually.

The kid working st Mcdonads in the big city is probably making $15/hour vs. $8 back in their rural home. Still not enough to live in the big city, but then again that isn’t the only thing they are doing there (they didn’t move to the big city to work in fast food, they have their side gig going on, be it acting or education or whatever). Back home, they would simply be stuck with not much hope for improvement. Ya, their chances of striking it rich aren’t great, but in Seattle it is non zero while in Marysville it is pretty much zero.
Great reply. My question based on this comment,

>My advice is assuming you’d like to be a person that trains/deploys ML models to solve problems in industry. This is much different than an ML Engineer, who’s implementing algorithms in low level languages and squeezing out efficiency. Obviously that would require a much deeper understanding of SWE. And a totally different person is an academic researcher that’s developing theory or technique. It’ll be hard to do that without a PhD

Can one not only train/deploy ML models, but in addition to that be able to implement the algorithms in low level languages and also be able to develop theory?

I’d imagine these are all skill sets that someone in PhD program could pick up.

If they could do all three, what kind of job should they be looking for?
