I don't think that's the point of the statement.

Facebook culture makes a similar statement: "Nothing at Facebook is someone else's problem." I don't take it to mean that you are supposed to be the Atlas of the organization, but rather that when you see problems and issues that might arise, you don't ignore them because it's "not my job" or "not my problem" - you embrace it, escalate or forward it to the correct people, and then go back to what else you have to do.

This type of thinking stops issues from being buried when they're noticed by someone, even if it's something outside of what they are judged on in their responsibilities (and performance reviews). A good hypothetical example of this is a crash condition you may trigger as an engineer. You might not quite know what is going on but you have a reproducible testcase of a crash condition in someone else's stack, and saying it's not your job means the bug doesn't get fixed or reported. Had you submitted that crash condition and made it temporarily your problem, you could have indirectly helped patch a deserialization bug that could've led to code execution on that tier with a more malicious testcase (i.e. exploit).

In smaller companies, I think everything technical kind of ends up being your job, so your job becomes what you make of it at that moment. Do what needs to be done to ship the thing.

The whole "but science is just as bad as religion" argument rings quite hollow.
I can't read the whole article because paywall, but the initial paragraphs seem to miss the point of these laws. The intent is not to indicate that a programming language is an equivalent kind of skill to a foreign language. It's a pragmatic decision about how to fit programming, increasingly an important life skill, into a crowded curriculum. The core requirements (english, math, science, history), aren't going to budge, so it has to be slotted in somewhere if you want anyone other than the super-motivated to take progamming/CS classes.

Maybe the author addresses this pragmatic issue later on?
Battery life. Phone batteries used to last for two weeks or more with light usage.

Though to be fair to smartphones, my Samsung galaxy has an "ultra power saving" mode that puts the display into grayscale, uses a special app launcher and only allows access to a handful of applications. In that mode I can get about two weeks of battery life.
Not if you use a VPN, from my experience.
I've always bought my phones outright and never had a prepaid plan until relatively recently. I've stayed around the $250-$300 price point since I started buying cell phones. What I can buy now for that price is vastly superior to what I could buy even only 4 or 5 years ago.

If anything, with inflation, the price of low-midrange phones has been dropping steadily and the quality and features you get for that price has been climbing at least in my observation.

Service prices have been climbing. The plan I have now isn't available with my carrier any more. The closest plan to mine costs twice as much as I pay for 3GB less data. They don't even have plans that offer as much data as I get anymore.

__MatrixMan__: I'm going to lose karma for having a meta-discussion on HN, but I'd like to spare you some misery...

In my experience, the HN crowd will heavily downvote comments that question the metaphysics assumed in other readers' posts. Without regard to the validity or applicability of such a comment, it's likely to cost you karma. I don't think this forum will entertain the kind of discussion you're trying to have, sadly.
If you already are losing all your teeth due to decay and can't afford full implants, then its a good option. Beside that, avoid it at all costs. You'll have massive bone loss where you dont have implants and eventually have issues (unless you're at end of life anyway and just want a good 10 years or whatever.)

If youre already losing teeth, the more implants the better, as your bone requires that object there to not recede - and bone grafting is very expensive and hit or miss.

Take good care of your teeth, theres nothing like the real ones. If I had not worked at a huge implant office, I wouldn't believe it.
You have a lot of people to teach you! It's just that they use books and GitHub repos to communicate :)

Great post! Still working through it, but there is a slight error in the nested diagram at the start. Relational algebra has set difference, which is akin to negation-as-failure, but it lacks recursion. So the positive Datalog and RA circles should overlap without either containing the other.

I accidentally human DDoSd my boss once by submitting multiple Azure support requests at level A and put in his cell phone number. Several support people started responding but they put them all on the same Exchange list so they kept responding to each other and it sent him an email and text.

Well placed implants dont have much bone recession. On the other hand, bridges or other dental solutions where theres nothing in the bone do lead to bone loss. Poorly placed implants or crowns can lead to bone/gum loss though.

> "...employers have to invest more in supervising low-productivity workers."

why do you believe these workers are low-productivity? are they unworthy of dignity and privacy as a result?

why do you believe the employers are qualified supervisors? have you never had a bad manager? might it be possible that the employers have no idea how to encourage productivity, and that low productivity is induced by a coercive and surveilled work environment?

I think the next logical step is to give those of us who care on the desktop more info about what certs/chains are being used. While FF has extension support for viewing cert info, Chrome does not yet[0]. Once there, it would be reasonable to be able to easily pull up my root CA list and see which ones are queried by my browser and how often (I'd love to trim up my list if mostly unused). Of course this does nothing for a process using its own HTTP client, hence the MITM checking.

Side note - parents whose kids have Hulu also get to stream hundreds of episodes of old Sesame Street. I consider this format (streaming, rather than over-the-air HBO or PBS) an advantage, not a disadvantage.

There are no commercials, it can be started or paused on my kid's schedule, and the content is basically the same: there are still the same 26 letters in the alphabet, and The Count only uses 21 numbers, and the developmental subjects are largely the same for kids today as they were 10 or 20 years ago...no need to re-write the textbook each year. True, parents don't get to enjoy visits present-day celebrities, but on the other hand, they might prefer a bit of 90s nostalgia.

I agree that it would be far better if this streaming service were available to everyone for free just as broadcast TV is available.
I have not once in the entirety of my software development experience been drug tested. Prior to my current job at Large Corporation I worked at a government contractor.

Not that I ever did drugs because there was no way I was going to risk the government coming down on me, but it's an example of how drug testing is still something mostly relegated to the lower paying jobs unless your employer has reasonable suspicion in the case of government work.
Well, for Euro 800 (around US$ 1000) you could get circa 2004-2005 a Sony-Ericsson P900-P910.

Thank you for your insightful summary. I have heard very often lately that "the science is settled about X" and that this sentiment is exactly anti science is not observed. I agree, it troubles me. I don't advocate for the fallacy of futility that nothing of science can be built upon a potentially soon to be false idea, but it's equally frustrating that the opposite - an appeal to authority in the name of science? - is so widely held onto.
It sounds like the one that Progressive used. They would monitor the time of day you drove, your speed, and acceleration/braking. So if you drove fast, late at night, and braked hard constantly, you would not qualify for a discount but at least they didn't raise your rates. And the best (worst?) part was that you only had to have the thing in your car for 1-3 months, I forget which, but when you were done you sent it back and were free to go back to your original driving style.

That's basically how it works for complex aircraft. The 777 was the first airliner to receive automatic EASA approval after FAA acceptance.

Smaller nations follow FAA or EASA. Russia and China have their own certification systems but defer largely to the Big Two for imports. However it is notable that the Chinese regulator took a long time and much persuading before they accepted the Max.

Why it isn't done at an international level I don't know. Small aircraft could still be certificated nationally if they're not intended for export.
> The alternatives in pretty much all cases are death.

Is this a serious claim about currently-required vaccines? Including the one for varicella, say?

Vaccines have a _lot_ of benefits; my kids are certainly vaccinated for all sorts of things (including varicella, though that was a bit of a tough call for me). But overselling those benefits with blanket claims like "the alternative to being vaccinated is death" is not a good way to get the "everyone should be vaccinated" position to be taken seriously.

Blog posts other developers make detailing the way they've built a particular project

The hard part is finding the right blog. There are a ton of blogs out there from developers with little experience who are convinced that their way of doing things is the best/only/right way. The blogs are often nothing more than SEO for their resumes.

For that reason, I'd lean heavier on books. At least with books there is some filter. Yes, it can be incomplete and sporadic, but it's often better than the wild west of bad information out there, especially in web dev blogs.

People normally don't take the kind of statement I made and interpret it as the sort of proclamation you are making it out to be. Relax.
I don't think it's hubris that you need. Hubris often inflates and becomes the problem that you have in the next statement of being a "know it all".

Instead, I think the core of it is perpetuating "beginner's mind" - that is, you approach every problem with the enthusiasm of a beginner, not with conviction that something can or cannot be done. It's not necessarily pride or self-confidence as much as it is a belief that the thing can be done by someone, and it's just the knowledge you don't have that keeps you from accomplishing it.
My favorite “impossibly difficult” computing problem that’s unsolved (brute force required) by digital but solved by analog is in finding the shortest path from A to B, wherein you just apply electricity to the start and endpoint and let the neon glow demonstrate the optimal solution. For example:

> How did Boeing decide to kill the 757 and to continually delay the "New Midsize Airplane", and to progressively extend and modify the 737 until it reached 757 size in the 737 MAX 9?

> Southwest Airlines has only operated Boeing 737 jetliner models, except for a period from 1979 to 1987

I expect that sort of things was part of the decision. Even more so as Boeing never really try to unify their offering and provide airbus-style CCQ[0][1] so there is a very strong incentive & pressure to update frames and keep them in the same rating to avoid crew retraining costs.

[0] moving from an A320 to an A380 can take as little as 15 days, other moves are much shorter (down to 2 days CCQ for — I believe — moving between the A330 and the A340)

[1] boeing does have some common type rating courses but only between a few pairs e.g. between the 757 and 767, or from the 777 to the 787

Uber seems like a new take on the same exploitative multi-level marketing as Tupperware parties, Amway, and Herbalife. They take advantage of the desperate and unemployed by re-classifying them as something other than employed to make a business model that wouldn't work otherwise.

Instead of buying $6000 of product from Uber, you are essentially leasing them your car and getting barely enough back in fares to pay the depreciation and operating expenses. Some even manage to get enough to pay themselves minimum wage. In the meantime Uber is advertising that their drivers are making close to six figures.

> Galileo lived in an era that knew two principal sources of authority:

For a counterpoint: Galileo went to prison for his convictions. Do scientists nowadays project the same force of argument and power of will? There is widespread distrust from scientists themselves about a lot of the science being published. Most sciences leech off credibility from the success of physics. But credibility ranges from "most findings being published are likely false", to being unable to reproduce, to liberal arts where "everything goes". When scientists can't be even arsed to publish their preprints on a public repository, are they willing to stand by their science like galileo, and is it a surprise that laymen have started having their doubts? Also, I follow a bunch of scientists of my field on twitter and half their tweets are political. Perhaps if some scientists were not so overly political, the public would not respond in kind.

> The authority of science rested on people, not on tools or methods or charts and data.

But Mustafa Kemal was a military general, and it was the military that took it upon them to guard the secular state in Turkey, up to this day (last coup was 2 years ago). It's not easy for science to win over people. it takes work
It's hard to get "better" at something because it can mean so many things. Describing the attributes that makes you better with MongoDB, APIs, or software development gets you a lot of the way towards learning how to do it.

Take Mongo for example: is the issue that your database keeps going down? If you frame it that way, it doesn't take long to discover clustering, replicasets, and monitoring. Is the issue that your queries are hammering the server? If so, googling that leads you down a months-long rabbit hole that ends in indexing, caching, and denormalizing strategies. Are you frustrated with the amount of boilerplate needed to get mongo data to the frontend? That's a good hint that you're in the market for a library/framework that might help with that.

Much in the same way that one of the hardest parts of solving a bug is knowing what to Google, specifically defining what "better" looks like is the first step towards getting there.

Visual Studio Code is a browser session for a complex website. I've had the OOM killer kick in on moderate C compilation loads -- well below what I subject my Linux daily driver to. I've even seen OOM when running Emacs for a long enough time on Termux on my cellphone.

In general, any long-running environment that can generate a lot of garbage presents a risk of triggering the OOM killer, especially when you have to share your development environment with effectively a whole 'nother OS. Enabling swap helps mitigate that risk.

People so often miss this. Science is a slow, evolving and never ending process. The day a new study comes out, people want to use it as evidence that something is 'settled science'.

Consider taking this a step further and trying no phone at all. But instead of doing something extreme like dumping your smartphone, just turn your current phone off unless you're OK with being reached and at home or at work. Anything in between, the phone stays off.

This makes your smartphone a de facto land line for all practical intents, and you get to keep the potential to make exceptions and use it for e.g. GPS and maps or a restaurant lookup when you need to.
