I'm not sure what your issue with that quote is - because it's 100% accurate. IT sounds like you have enough reports that you now have a people job and not a tech job and that is where your conflict is coming from.

You need to either wholeheartedly commit to that aspect and give up the tech (in a professional sense, have whatever hobby makes you happy) and find value and meaning in that, or go back to being "on the tools".

This dichotomy isn't unique to tech - as alluded to above, the trades have the same conflict - and people do shift between being "on the tools" and not.

But make no mistake - you can't do both. At least not for a sustainable period, effectively, if you are managing a decent number of people. So choose, and commit - at least for the period of that choice.
Can't recommend enough "The One Minute Manager" by Kenneth H. Blanchard.

> It comes across as too "I'd like to run this project if you want to help out and here's how we will run it". Instead, I think what you need to do (if you could) is start the technical work yourself and get others to help out.

I so wish that I had the time to start the technical work myself. But I'm currently experiencing the misfortune of trying to run three products at the same time for my day job (as a CEO/developer).

But I care about touchpads (or at least, not relying on Macbook) too much to do nothing. So even though it sucks that I can't just make time to work on setting up the project myself, at least this effort holds the possibility that like-minded folks will join me to make that happen.

Perhaps I’m wrong in my observation, but my overall sentiment of your comment is that you’re too eager to simplify things.

Unrelated to the above part of my comment, but:

> Without deliberate, aggressive redistribution, accelerating inequity is inevitable.

People are willing to embrace redistribution way too hastily, while ignoring higher order consequences. If we embrace more aggressive redistribution, to what extent, how effective, to what long term cost, etc?

Perhaps redistribution is so seductive because it promises some laudable social outcome while also being easier to understand than competing alternatives.

Top-down engineering solutions to complex human problems should cast doubts imho. That is not to say we shouldn't strive to solve the challenges of our society, but we ought to always be mindful of its complexity.

Tangentially related to our conversation, but I found this paper on politics + complexity [1] – albeit still a draft – helpful.

What if we go to regulate pesticides, and through lobbying and special interest groups, animal feed gets less regulation. It'd be good to know that the pesticides can affect people even if their grains and vegetables don't get sprayed.

You should stop getting your news from Hollywood movies. Goldman Sachs is the very face of American capitalism. They are no more guilty than any other large financial institution of their age in shady practices. The problem you have is with the exploitative nature of the global capitalist system itself, not the specific actor. Just take a look at the history of Deutsche Bank, HSBC, or Credit Suisse if you think Goldman is by any means special in that regard.

I'm in a very similar position. I find myself wondering if anyone really finds management fulfilling, or if that's just a lie we tell ourselves.

I look at my peers and don't see any of the passion and enthusiasm that I see in some developers.
Check the logs, is it waking, sleeping, waking, sleeping, waking, sleeping? Power management bugs are super annoying because they are tedious to dig into.

In my very obscure case, I got lucky in that suspend was working, then stopped working after a kernel update. Since it was a regression, kernel developers were more interested in tracking down the problem and I was able to find a work around: write PWRB to /proc/acpi/wakeup

The gory details are here, which I expect is so obscure it's not your problem, but shows as tedious as it is, filing bugs with a decently good bug report and willingness to do the work devs need you to do can be worth it.

There's a lot of work still to be made when it comes to application support on GNU/Linux and that's actually what usually makes people feel bad with their touchpads (and it's what macOS excells at, not the hardware and/or drivers). In fact, drivers aren't as bad as they're usually painted, although libinput still needs to catch up to the synaptics driver a bit.
I have always had great difficulty in believing that in the human body, _everything_ is regularly regenerated with the exception of neurons/ganglia.

The case in point is the sciatic nerve is massive, and prone to constant stresses and strains, yet supposedly never regenerates.
It's important to note that this is talking about normal brain neurogenesis. We have long known that external stimulus such as ECT, and chemicals such as 25i-nbome are neurogenic.

I can read the JavaScript I wrote months or years ago with very little effort. The language is fairly trivial, and the big gotchas have been mostly addressed by es6 and avoiding type coercion. I have limited time to dick around on personal projects and I mostly wrote Python and JS for a living, so having a familiar syntax means the difference between spending my time building cool stuff versus spending my time trying to remember how to read paren soup.

The other factors are cultural - so much of the clojure ecosystem is badly documented, or not at all. Sure, I can go and read your code to figure out what it does. But that comes back to the limited time argument, unless I'm paid for it, I'd rather write stuff in a language with a culture of proper documentation. For a recent example that does an outstanding job, see Elixir.

Finally, the ecosystem just feels... abandoned? Like walking through a ghost town. A lot of things on GitHub look incredible, but if there's no commits in the past 3 years I'm not inclined to invest time in it. I know the common argument about them being finished, and I don't buy it - non-trivial code rarely is.

Single-Page Orientation in Xamarin.Forms
Apple has put a lot of work and polish into its touchpad drivers, and it makes a huge difference; it's probably the largest single differentiator Macbooks have over other manufacturers. Part of it is latency (which will probably also require some work on the graphics stack), part of it is handling all the corner cases correctly. (Improving latency probably also requires some work on the graphics stack, not just the touchpad drivers.)

A simple test which Macbooks pass, but Windows and Linux laptops fail: fling scroll down a web page, then press Cmd/Ctrl+W to close the tab before the fling scroll has stopped moving. On Macs this works correctly; everywhere else, it acts as though you're spinning an old-style wheel mouse while holding Ctrl, and zooms in repeatedly.

GPL is "viral". If your code has inside a copy (perhaps with some modifications) of a project that has the GPL license, then you must use the GPL license for the whole project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_license

"An Elusive Whale Is Found All Around the Tropical World"
In north america, I think they mostly (still?) aren't allowed to offer differential pricing - by law - which helped the rise of credit cards. There has been a lot of back and forth on this in law so YMMV depending where you are.
Do you know a better card that always gives 2% cash back, no cap?

It doesn't always give 2% cash back, it only gives 2% cash back for places that offer Apple Pay. A significant portion of my CC chargers are at places that don't offer Apple Pay.
We can’t pay merchants less by paying cash, so we may as well try to grab a slice of the fee via the reward. 2% sounds pretty good.

Why I’m a climate change denier
Maybe I misremember horribly, but I think I read somewhere that the original motivation for staring Sage was to provide an open source alternative to the proprietary tools. Do you still think it is an ideal worth of following?

And Sage has been (and is!) huge undertaking, which developments of the project surprised you most? Which parts of it you like most and which least?

In the name of many, many users thank you for starting it!
> Simply put, what is the cost involved and relative productivity gained/lost from each layout design. What about experimental designs? Without this type of information, it is difficult to convince a decision maker to improve these conditions. Those metrics need to be quantifiable, not anecdotal (I get more work when there aren't conversations around me vs. I resolved 10 bugs in the open office environment and 25 equivalent bugs in a cubicle).

This has been well documented since the early 2000s. Programmers are statistically and significantly more productive if they have enclosed offices with closing doors. And decision makers that care have been acting on it for just as long (see Joel on Software, I'm not a huge fan, but this has been a harping point of his, as an owner of a software company, for years).

Any company that forces programmers to work in open-plan environments is either ignorant, or just doesn't care.
Tips That Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Through Diet Alone
Yup. And the scary thing about delusions is that often times, people under delusions are not aware of them.

I'm trying to recall this long article someone wrote. Her mother had moved her and her family to Canada for witness protection. It turned out though, the mother was under the influence of someone who was deluded into thinking they were out to get her. It took years before the author came across evidence to the contrary. Her father and her aunts were not dead after all. At which point, the person who was deluded said, oh, that's cause they had been replaced by clones.

I make a distinction here in that, I think the mother here was herself not delusional. She was influenced, and perhaps, could herself reason herself away from it given time. The person who was delusional, however, will continue to generate new explanations to fit the evidence around that delusion ... and is probably not even aware of it. According to the author, he was otherwise rational in everything else but his delusion.
It would be much more valuable to supply chains of evidence in news stories. So often, articles are treated as isolated islands with unresolved references and only loose links to previous events. News could be so much more credible if it had extensive underpinning of every exertion.

For example, in Europe, news stories almost always include a map of the local area. But one could do much better with timelines showing how each article is a step along an unfolding story, empowering readers. In theory, readers can go do all the research themselves, but the cost is quite high. That's almost exactly what the WWW was designed for! It could also includes links to wiki-like pages of every individual related to the story.

But obviously the big question is market. Especially these days, people don't want evidence, only emotional crack. People for whom the information is actually financial valuable pay for accurate information in their niche. So the real challenge is to motivate people to focus on reality instead of their outrage addiction. That's a cultural goal and more likely to be a non-profit enterprise. :(

In the US at least, banks are strongly encouraged (by law) to have a minimum fee that prevents the borrower from increasing the principal owed through cumulative interest (negative amortization). If the minimum payment might do this, the bank is required to disclose it to the borrower.

Basically it means that borrowers should at least be paying off the interest incurred on the principal owed at the beginning of the billing period.
I imagine this will only work for the Apple Card as it doesn't have that info on the physical card.

It's because macOS implements kinetic scrolling in the toolkit, not in the driver (like xf86-input-synaptics and some Windows drivers do). The driver itself on macOS isn't really exceptional.
So what age is considered "adult"? I've read other sources that say 26 or so, but they base that on the fact that it's when the brain stops growing. Forgive me if I missed something, but nowhere in the article do they define what adult means in this context.
Lots of small wine producers across Europe differentiate by producing grapes using organic farming. If you are competing on quality, using a lot of pesticides might not be the best idea here.

Competition is pretty strong and super markets tend to have a decent selection on their shelves where I live. Prices are not noticably higher. You can buy some OK organic wines for around 5 euros here in Germany.
IMHO having a lot of pesticides in the food chain is probably not a great idea. Even if it is probably fine, why take the chance? Finding out we're wrong might take decades.

If you're using Square/Stripe they should just be using Apple Pay anyways it's more secure. If the consumer doesn't have or understand that option I'd recommend they pull up the card number in the app. I use an online-only bank and with my phone and laptop in my pockets it'd probably take me about the same amount of time to pull out a credit card as it would to open my bank app with TouchID.

I had a card that won't swipe pretty frequently, after having to have my number typed or to produce a new card for the 3rd time I finally just reported mine broken and a new one was overnighted to me.

I've always thought that its the customers burden to produce a working payment method. If I got skipped in line because my card didn't work I'd have no problems letting someone else go ahead of me while I fumbled around with my phone and wallet.
That other people also do bad things does not at all excuse the bad things Goldman Sachs has done.
This is interesting to observe from the UK.

- Cashback is generally lower here because interchange fees are regulated/capped to 0.3% for personal credit cards and 0.2% for personal debit cards. Offers of 2% cashback simply won't work outside the US so I'll be curious to see how (if?) they try and expand this globally.

- "All of the spending tracking and other information is stored directly on the device, not Apple’s servers" - can't see how this will work in practice. If you lose your phone, do you lose information on historical purchases? What if you want them for your records? Perhaps "spending tracking" just refers to data derived from the transaction information... but then, couldn't you just recompute it?

- "Apple also says that it’ll use machine learning and Apple Maps to label stores that you use in the app, and use that data to track purchases across categories like “food and drink” or “shopping.” " - I guess this is novel in the United States, but challenger banks like Monzo/Starling have been doing this for a number of years.

- "Customers will also be able to track purchases, check balances, and see when their bill is due right from the app." - not novel, CC providers like Amex and banks like Monzo already do all of this, including push notifications.

- "To get an Apple Card, users will be able to sign up on their iPhone in the Apple Wallet app and get a digital card that they can use anywhere Apple Pay is accepted “within minutes.”" - again, not novel. If you sign up for a Monzo account, the KYC checks are done reasonably quickly (certainly same-day IME) and then your account is open. You can add it to Android Pay (https://monzo.com/blog/2018/11/19/instant-google-pay/) and make payments, bank transfer money in instantly etc.

Overall, I'm a little perplexed as to why this offering is interesting besides Apple having announced it.
Well you kind of have that. It's called the central bank (Federal Reserve Bank in the U.S. case) that processes bank account transfers without any restrictions that would go against the First Amendment. The extra stuff that you get with private companies such as Visa, MasterCard and PayPal is just that -- extra.

Same in NZ, but credit cards with cashback have monthly/annual fees.

For example, ASB (bank) asks ~$150 per year for a cashback credit card. How much do you get from cashback on average?
Wow, that's impressive! I wonder if screen size impacts score on that test? Both my test laptops were 15", which probably means more space between the bubbles.

I built Sage initially to provide a free open source alternative for number theorists to parts of Magma (http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/), and Magma is self contained with batteries included. In 2004, almost none of the academic colleagues I knew used Python (and definitely not for math), and the Python packaging situation was a mess (it continued to be a mess for many years after, but is in relatively good shape now with Conda and Pip). Python was also "just" the programming language of Sage, with Sage itself being mostly new code combined with other major standalone software (PARI, GAP, Singular, etc. -- all having their own languages, with their own packaging, CLI's etc.). It was not at all clear how Sage would grow -- perhaps Python would just be one of many languages for using Sage?

If I had real resources to devote to Sage today (I don't), I would break Sage up into a core Python library, and lots of other libraries, and make them all available as standard pypi (and conda) packages. Doing so would be extremely difficult, because the main monolithic Sage library is so massive at this point (on the order of a million lines -- contributed by 600+ people), and since it's Python pretty much everything in any module is public (unlike say Javascript modules where code is private by default). Also, the dependencies in this code are ill defined and complicated (the class diagram is insane). On the plus side, we have extremely good automated test coverage and testing infrastructure.

The rationale wasn't syntax -- the entire Sage library is written in standard Python (and Cython), and the only special syntax Sage has is mainly used for the command line interface (and .sage files), and that's all done via an optional module called "preparse" (which could just be a pypi package if it got factored out).
