I think the fact that you've spent so much time in the FAANG companies may explain why you can't see government waste.

The Valley tech firms are frequently lauded as many positive things, but I've never seen anyone with a clue argue they're efficient. Innovative, competent at executing tech projects, impactful, concerned about social issues, whatever, but if anyone argued they didn't waste vast sums of money they'd need their heads examined. "Frugal" is not an adjective that has ever been associated with these firms not even in their pre-revenue startup days.

Government waste is everywhere, although of course the definition of "waste" depends a lot on your perception of what it's legitimate for a government to be doing in the first place.

Sometimes it's just incompetence. In the UK, it's been common in the past for local governments to do things like pay the same bills repeatedly without noticing they've done so, or they don't bother collecting taxes that are actually owed to them. I'm not sure if that's still a problem these days - I read about it during a previous anti-waste drive.

Sometimes it's due to catastrophically over-optimistic ideas about what government can actually do. The UK runs an entirely nationalised, civil servant run health system. It's also the country responsible for the biggest failed IT project in history, an attempt to digitise the NHS. £13 billion flushed down the toilet and all they got for it was an email system. Is anyone really shocked that a vast government bureaucracy totally failed to implement an IT project yet spent unheard-of sums on failing? No, because government waste is everywhere.

Sometimes it's due to trying to do things that governments shouldn't be doing in the first place. Like many countries the UK went through a "everyone should go to university" drive, a large scale and dubious social engineering project. The government guaranteed student debt and ... guess what ... huge numbers of students studied wasteful courses and built up debts they can never repay. The government has now admitted that if it did accounting like a company did it'd be entirely bankrupt, simply because it'd have been unable to move student debt off its books in the way it did so. The losses on these loans have been astronomical - directly wasted resources.

I really think it depends on the quality of the project. If I'm looking at a candidate, and see 3 projects, each pushed in one commit, each project has 3 classes in one package, and I see pushed compiled classes as well as source classes, that's a clear sign that this person doesn't know what he or she's doing.

That may not be necessarily a bad thing, depending on the position of course. But projects are not the be all end all, at least not in my company, and where I interviewed.
Are algorithm puzzles really that ubiquitous in the US?

In the UK I've interviewed at dozens of companies and never once been asked to code a breadth first search or something like that. Nor have I ever heard of a developer being asked to solve such things in interviews over here.
Actually, you can. It's just a custom to do differently.

I cringe every time that some engineering friend mentions how they has been programming an application with MATLAB. And next time the problem arises this "application" is not applicable anymore. Some manager types do not even realize that there's such a thing as technical debt.
Description: Agile management tool designed for scrum masters

With AssemblyScript you can do exactly that, but I've never seen it being used for big projects, since it doesn't support the "any" type.

That was primarily because of the nostalgic and hypebeast factor. The nostalgia from the people who loved the original movies. And the hypebeast from the resale market which loved that it was a highly limited run (89 pairs). These new shoes have neither.

Declaring protected classes is the easy part, but how do companies are to deal with it in an effective manner?

Say a company has to fire 10% of it's work force and the people who are least fit for the culture and provide value happen to be over X years old. Should they fire n number of people under X too to balance it out? should they go halve-halve? don't fire and wait for bankruptcy?
As another comment mentions, this is less of a standard library in the traditional sense and more a collection of functions the author finds useful in their specific line of work on a regular basis - it has a heavy emphasis on numerical and statistical functions that most people probably aren't going to use terribly often.

So in a generic way... maybe? It does offer a set of standard functions that aren't available natively, though personally I find Lodash to be much more of a traditional standard library than this.

In a specific way? No, as I don't see any kind of padding function and there will always be instances in which you need a small module that may be overlooked - that's the nature of any packaging system.
Thanks for the link - that is quite a resource.
In the event of a body's catastrophic system failure (i.e. serious injury / dying) the brain spikes the endorphin levels since pain no longer serves a useful purpose: the damage is done but it does serve a useful purpose to reduce the pain levels to allow us to function at a higher level than writhing on the ground in agony so that in some circumstances we might live to see another day.

Think of it this way: a bear just ripped/slashed/whatever your arm off... which is more useful: 'arrgggghhh!' or for the brain to pump out endorphins so that you at least concentrate and have a chance of fighting back or running/limping away or hiding? I doubt the brain differentiates between serious injury and dying, it's just wired at a certain point to try to minimize the pain. That would seem to be a very useful evolutionary purpose.

Thanks Patrick. Yes, it's exactly the case for us. Automating the evidence submission has a poor ROI. Especially since we lost all of them when we manually submitted it (albeit only a dozen times or so, I don't have exact numbers, but we've given up seeing only negative responses).

Our dispute rates are still slim, and the actual financial hit is low, but it just feels frustrating and unfair.

There's also this fear that people would "figure it out" and start abusing it on a much bigger scale, but I guess this is not a realistic risk (or I'd like to believe so).

It would be awesome if Stripe helped. e.g. I can imagine doing a one-off or periodic reviews/audits and showing Stripe how we handle cancellations, refunds, etc. From then on, ideally Stripe has a pre-baked appeal ready for us and fights the banks on our behalf. Is it too much to ask?
I have to use Matlab professionally in my organization for financial risk modelling and there are some larger legacy codebases. However, I wouldn't share your opinion about maintenance issues. Like with every other language, if the code is well organized, everything is fine.

Matlab integrates with SVN or GIT, you have got the functionality for unit-testing, proper debugging and profiling and namespaces through packages. OOP works also well although you will pay for it in performance. Additionally, you can easily use Java packages and interface with .NET and COM.

Compared to how R is used here, the whole Matlab environment feels much more complete and solid prototyping is certainly an advantage. Nevertheless, we feel the pain when it comes to datasets of 10-100 GB for which we don't want to set up a database. We haven't bought the Parallel toolbox and without this, processing is just very slow. Here R shines with e.g. data.table.

If I would rewrite the applications, I would however not do it in Matlab, because the audience of people looking at the code is more familiar with open source alternatives.
When a shoe becomes untied, will it auto-lace as I’m walking?

And why stop at shoes? Bring on the auto-lacing corsets, self-buttoning shirts, and auto-adjusting belts (useful for large meals).
The system used on Salomon running shoes is rather good - ever since I tried it, I feel like the traditional shoe laces are cumbersome.

I applaud such efforts, the entrenchment of MATLAB in engineering departments is hard to shake, we need more exposure on open source tools especially in academic conferences.
> The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek and others further demonized black women “addicts” by wrongly reporting that they were giving birth to a generation of neurologically damaged children who were less than fully human and who would bankrupt the schools and social service agencies once they came of age.

Neurological damage, sure. “Less than fully human” though? I don’t think I believe it was reported that way.
To add more specifics to the other comments:

i am all for having your ci ensuring the quality insurances which can be automated (firing unit tests, static code analysis, etc.) to reduce the amount of work any reviewer has to do on a pull request.

nevertheless, auto approving and merging pull requests and also auto bumping dependecies with only a bot as reviewer does sound like a very bad idea in general. how does one make sure the bump required for service A doesn't break service B which also relies that dependency? admitted, testing someone else's code is not the most exciting part of being a developer, but it's a necessary evil isn't it?

to be honest, this workflow sounds like hotfix hell to me when you'd combine it with continuous deployment...

Why it is important in one paragraph:

“The MIDI 2.0 initiative updates MIDI with auto-configuration, new DAW/web integrations, extended resolution, increased expressiveness, and tighter timing -- all while maintaining a high priority on backward compatibility. This major update of MIDI paves the way for a new generation of advanced interconnected MIDI devices, while still preserving interoperability with the millions of existing MIDI 1.0 devices. One of the core goals of the MIDI 2.0 initiative is to also enhance the MIDI 1.0 feature set whenever possible.”

I'm not sure about the metaphor. With a little practice, one can certainly flip one's desired result with high probability. It's a pretty simple physical system (which is why coin flips in more fair circumstances usually mean letting the coin hit the floor, adding some complexity).

I can’t help feeling that the general rise in hatred is fuelled by the press reporting every news story with so much “outraging”.

I was thinking that if it achieves the exact same tightness and fit consistently every time that could be very helpful.

This is journalism!
That’s a very long article for making the core point that the author believes their kind of tolerance is better than your kind of tolerance.

Fact is, most people are uncomfortable to some degree with people of different race, gender, sexuality, nationality, dress sense, social class. Myself included. That’s human nature - well done if you are a rare exception, but most people aren’t. Tolerance is about getting over it, even though it never quite goes away.

So most people declaring tolerance of all those other kinds of people should earn some Virtue Points in the author’s framework. They deserve a bit of sympathy for not feeling free to admit they aren’t quite as comfortable as they’re supposed to be with other folks.

He’s being an asshole when he criticises basically anyone claiming to be tolerant of the different people around them. Forget the self-obsessed “look at how tolerant I am” activists. Give most people the credit they deserve.

Otherwise you end in the the perverse situation the author does: dismissing most people just trying to be good people; looking to find ways to give a bit of credit to people tending to the Nazi end of the scale; making like tolerance is a huge, blood bursting struggle where if you’re not angry enough, you’re not trying hard enough.

That piece is a variation on what it claims to be a bad thing: acting like your basic day-to-day tolerance of other kinds of people is this amazing, incredible, praise-worthy act that deserves an admiring audience.

You want it to say 'favorite' next to every comment? That would clutter up the discussion pages a lot. For something that's not used so often, why do you think that would be worth the extra clutter? Anyway, it is already consistent - the 'favorite' links appear for stories at the top of the story's page, and for comments at the top of the comment's page.

I was scrolling through the whole article raging for an ethics paragraph, but I guess they handled that pretty well.

With a nifty and I think necessary touch of themselves still being in the dark; I very much doubt that the data they gathered can really reveal the author's identity, and the result they arrived on (Tom Dale) seems to largely originate from the "quotes one person far more than others" metric.

You could almost consider it an anti-metric: which intently pseudonymous author would dare to retweet their own nym? However, to counter this analysis you'd have to blend in with the average Twitter user in your niche, so it then comes down to a psychological game of "what would horse_js do?".

Makes perfect sense that.
If there are more smokers than vapers (which there will be historically as vaping is new and smoking is old) - then a few switching to vaping will cause the smoking like do drop a little, and the vaping line to go up like a rocket.
i.e.
If there were 100 smokers and 10 vapers. Then one of them switches. Smoking has gone down 1% and vaping up 10%.

Plus doesn't seem to include relative harm.
I'd have thought it would take a large number of non-smokers taking up vaping, to match the harm-reduction of one smoker switching to vaping.
Perhaps. A very poor childhood. A product of foster care. I paid my way through school by working 3 almost full-time jobs at the same time plus school. This made me just keep going every day regardless. But working so much gave me no time to do anything I wanted to.

Fast forward to now. I'm over 40. I have loads of things I wanted to accomplish by now. Every day I start out at 4:30am good but once the wife and kids are up. There goes my productivity.

Plus, coding is all I have ever done. I started with c++ at 13 and to sit and write code for my own goals just brings me so much happiness. To see it working, see others using it. Hell, even banging my head against the wall solving problems makes me happy.
