Not surprised. They are floating vaults after all. It's not uncommon for yachts above 200' to have a crew of 10+ members. Eyeballs at all hours as well as the latest tech. On the extreme, Eclipse, a 533' superyacht has a submarine, missile detection system, bulletproof windows and a staff of 70 [1]. Aside from human error as the article describes, I'd consider a main threat of damage to be ocean crossings when swells easily reach 20-30'.

Yes and no. Individual fibers are either On or Off, but individual fibers are grouped into bundles, and any one muscle is composed of many bundles. When you flex a muscle to move a thing, your brain only recruits some of the bundles. The exact amount is determined by some combination of your willpower, focus, training level, and adrenaline.

As you train (that is, try really hard to lift something heavy), you teach your brain that you're going to be lifting heavy things a lot going forward, which makes your brain recruit more muscle fibers when you actually go ahead and lift the thing.

So you're right in one sense, and incomplete in another.

It's actually not that expensive[0]:

"Year one (January 2020 to 2021), that add-on will cost $25 per device for that set of users. Year two (January 2021 to 2022) that price goes up to $50 per device. And Year three (January 2022 to January 2023) it goes up to $100 per device."

And while this requires a volume license agreement[1]:

"Windows 7 ESUs will be available to all Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Enterprise customers in Volume Licensing, with a discount to customers with Windows software assurance, Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education subscriptions."

it is not difficult or expensive to acquire[2]:

"While five licenses are required to enter into a new VL agreement, they need not all be for LTSC. According to a rep I spoke with at a Microsoft Partner, this combination would work as an upgrade from a Windows OEM license (i.e., it would allow a user who bought a PC with Windows 10 preinstalled to run Windows 10 LTSC instead): 1x Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 Single Upgrade Open Business $269.04 & 4x Microsoft Identity Manager - 1 User CAL - Open Business $7.81"

I don't agree with the author's stance on everything but I do think that programming skill is the most important skill for a senior software engineer/developer, for a few reasons:

- Code that is confusing/hard to approach for others (including future you) is bad code, so no "seniors" or "architects" that write crazy complex code aren't good at what they do -- true masters make complex things simple.

- Identifying the right problem to solve is not the engineers job -- this is squarely in business planning/project management domain, which is rightfully a different specialization

- Like the above, engineers shouldn't even be wasting time chasing down requirements, this is the job of project management, making people who have and specialized their craft over years spend time playing politics is wasteful.

I do recognize the need for the other skills you noted in a modern business, but maybe we should be calling those skills + programming skill something different. As far as I can tell with your response and others, a non-exhaustive list non-code metrics for "senior"s are:

- Business value understanding/delivery

- Guiding junior engineers

- Navigating politics

Maybe we can call that "Senior Engineering Project Lead" instead and make the required skill sets more distinguishable. The fact is that if you start optimizing for some of these other skills you're going to take a hit on architectural/programming skill -- time and attention is limited. If what the position requires is someone who spent 60% of their time honing their craft, and 10% learning to navigate politics and 30% focusing on business-level understanding, then maybe we should signify that with a more descriptive title. I guess the crux of my argument is that "Senior Software Engineer" is a misleading title.

As a side note, I think this is just yet another way for companies to extract more value from employees -- build in more and more requirements into an role denoted to be strictly for engineering, make another rung on the bullshit internal payment ladder to climb. I also would be more sympathetic to the "business impact" if more of the "business reward" was shared with those producing the value, and FAANG didn't actively collude in the last decade to reduce employee wages.

In a lot of keyboard designs, you'll solder an Arduino Micro Pro to the PCB. It has, I dunno, 18 pins or something. Without a professional desoldering station, it's almost impossible to remove. I tried with desoldering braid, wick and pump but still managed to damage the Arduino. A more experienced person tried with a heat gun, also damaged the Arduino.

SPA isn't pronounced "spa" but S-P-A thus an SPA is more likely correct. See "an FBI agent" for an example.
A second theory of mine: by being vague, the recruiter can hide the fact that they have maybe 10 different roles with nearly the same description. Get my ear and they can probe which I’m best for and try to sell me that.

This doesn’t explain why someone would use these recruiters though. As an employer I’d insist that even for a $1k recruitment fee, the contacts weren’t actively scaring off any reasonable devs. Remember I’m not asking for “personalized” - I’m just asking for “minimum job parameters up front”. To recruit a decent dev, this shouldn’t be a cost at all.
https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/20/here-are-the-63-startups-t...

if you just look at a sampling of these startups, i think you're wrong - entrepreneurship has always been about applying technologies in disruptive ways and the companies are following the trends - IoT, alternative reality and disrupting traditionally non-tech spaces like assisted living.

you may be right about the rest but then again entrepreneurship is becoming a more mature market and investors actually have more people on their team to "guide" them about what a "hot" startup looks like(hence them seeming bored at pitches that aren't going to predictively skyrocket imo)

I think his views on nudity would have been the least offensive. Example..To Sail Beyond The Sunset was really weird and awkward in so many ways but at the same time, it is a book that I have read and re read many times. He certainly empowered many young female readers..but at the same time, there was also Friday which dealt with the difficult subject of rape. He was a feminist no doubt but he also had some antiquated ideas (like women’s role in society l and the glorification of procreation). He was a femininist without doubt.

My favourite wrt his treatment of gender is I Will Fear No Evil. Was he sci fi writer or writer of social commentary? He was a legit sci fiction writer and one of my favourites is All You Zombies where he deals with the paradox of time travel and ideas like when you are your own grandparent was definitely different. His juvenile series (Have Space Suit, Will Travel) were all benign enough for young kids without any ‘corrupting’ thought seeds and upsetting parents. His stories about parallel worlds and lives could be said to border on metaphysical. His all encompassing free love themes might have been scandalous and pornographic at his time altho it might merely invite eye rolling or nervous dry laughter now.(I don’t know..I can only imagine how it was in those times)

You are right about his contradictions but he had lived long enough to see waves of changes in society. (I might be wrong about the timeline of his various works pre and post 1950s) He was a military man and likely was always a libertarian. And likely an atheist. He was also from an entirely different era. But this theme was always to question authority and not accept what’s handed to you..and always strive for freedom as a personal goal. As a girl, that was important to me and to be able to place freedom over everything else.

I think minimalism works if you can fit your life into a certain categories. I moved to another country for a year with only the stuff I could fit in a military duffel bag. The most annoying thing about the experience, after returning from my trip, was having to re-purchase everything that I had previously sold off just so that I could take part in hobbies that I had sorely missed while gone. Lots of endeavors require a small inventory of things or tools, especially if you want to do well.

Not all code complies. But not all code flies.

My experience has been that as a mission system passes gates in the years before launch, they asymptotically approach these standards, with exceptions approved by named individuals and reviewed. I doubt many institutional products or teams conform strictly on all projects. That'd be quite unproductive.

FWIW, neither of them fixes anything any more.

Her story is actually interesting, but the conclusion of the post (and the title's question) is "I gave up extreme minimalism so I could keep things and go back to them from time to time."

I mean this isn't exactly profound.

Paraphrasing: "I bought a book to study German. Normally I'd throw it away when I'd get bored of it. Instead I'm going to keep the book, so if I have the desire to study German again later I can just pick it back up rather than buy a new one."

Yes, often the gamut for a computer display and the gamut of a particular working color space (like sRGB) intersect each-other, with some colors in each gamut which are outside the other.

If you use a linear representation of RGB coordinates, and allow values less than 0 or greater than 1, then you can represent any conceivable color. But most image formats do not support values outside the [0, 1] range.

If you have an image in one color space, and you want to convert it to another color space (e.g. for showing on your display or printing) there are many possible gamut mapping algorithms you might use to optimize the results according to various criteria. Here is a 300 page book about some of the possibilities, https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Color+Gamut+Mapping-p-9780470030...

His support for European pride makes me want to buy his book more. Pretty much every racial group has history of conquest and enslavement, but for some reason whites have to be the ones to bend the knee everytime it's brought up. It's OK to be white, and proud of it; sorry but not sorry! Whites/Europeans (ethnic, not "civil") could end up in bondage to another group and their oppression would still be crowed about! I firmly believe we must support our own in our homelands and conquered lands before we become minorities in both. On a world wide scale, white ethnic Euros are a minority of the major racial groups, and we're not-breeding and inviting our futures away to "immigrants! "

> I've seen similar nonsense producers in early 90s on basis of Markov chains and what not.

Exactly. When it comes to generating a large volume of apparently-good sentences, non-AI (or classical) approaches are still better than good. Those will be equally disruptive, since the defending side is yet to develop a proper countermeasure based on the "sensible"-ness of content. Plus, they will be much easier to customize and adapt to the situation, while ML-based solutions often need remodeling and retraining when repurposed.

> My current pet concern is that AIs will start passing the Turing test not because AIs are getting so good but because humans are getting so bad

AI will start deceiving the public even before it pass Turing test. It's much harder to spot bots amidst people than in a 1vs1 chatroom.

I used react-router before but absolutely hated how it mixes presentational logic with URL matching. For new projects I just use a small routing helper that’s written using React context and that performs URL matching the old fashioned way (a list of pattern with parameters that are routed to specific components). Works really well on all modern browsers and is less than 200 lines of code. It even allows for reverse routing (use a view name and parameters to generate a URL) which to my knowledge isn’t implemented in react-router.
