Seriously - the Bay Area is expensive, but you can still rent an entire 3br house in the south bay for $2500 or less (within a few miles of Apple HQ, even). With a couple roommates, that's under $1000/each, and you can cook all you want.

Not everyone lives in SF.
Yeah he's super careful with processed food.
This board’s not from “early on in the process”. Making touch work well was once of the major undertakings, and there had been various iterations of display around for literally years at this point. By the time this board was made, the display / touch was largely a done deal and they were being built in respectable volume.

Likewise the UX development started years before, some of the earliest hardware was just a handheld display & touch tethered to an old G3 PowerPC Mac (to get the performance constraints about right). The purpose here was to get representative displays into the hands of relatively large numbers of engineers.
YES! Now I remember. Unreal Tournament used glide though. UT was my vice.
So good to hear... this used to be one of Jacques Cousteau's favorite dive areas. Went there in 2008 and it was beautiful, but the reefs didn't look healthy at all. Pretty sad to see.
This is slightly off topic. But PHP has a great devloper experience, in general, now with vscode, and autocomplate, find all references, etc. But the best framework out there is Laravel. It's great, but the maintainer doesn't seem reliable. Every single release has some type of backwards incompaitible change to it of which they don't document all the changes. So it's basically a blackbox if you are to upgrade your laravel/framework version.
Haha, you're the first to try to apply it recursively! That's kind of why I employed satire, to make people think.

My move is simple. Do nothing. My satire fails its own test when applied to itself as I make clear what I am looking for and what is unacceptable, emphasized with satire.

I clearly value an argument when folks make a good faith effort to argue for an alternative position, make constructive criticism, elaborate on the source of their concerns, or reveal their intentions. No hidden intentions from me.

As for the example: I thought the satire had made it very clear that the alternate solution is to have the would-be-saboteur reveal their alternate position, make constructive criticism, elaborate on the source of their concerns (ex: like you've done above), or reveal their intentions. So my satire also fails my own test that way. Again, no hidden intentions, clear alternatives.

Since you made your position clear, we can now have a constructive argument about a myriad of things: the role of perceived gender in society, cultural norms, morality of honest mistakes, etc. And I don't have to be guessing a position on your behalf while also defending a position I never took. If you let me pick for you, and you pick for me, that's not a discussion.

It's basically a giant post about intellectual honesty and good faith discussions.
It's gotten really bad. They sell toys with superfluous packaging on purpose now, toys where there's next to nothing fun to play with once they're unwrapped. You're left with a trash-bag full of plastic waste and a tiny, badly made, doll.
> But I'm well aware that, if a robot like that is made, the implications on privacy would be terrible

I give it 5 years maximum before Amazon releases an "Alexa" robot that is initially just the same Alexa we all know, just mobile (flying or rolling, or both) with a small arm and able to do a few rudimentary tasks. There is no real loss of privacy to be expected over current Alexa anymore.
Yeah, once we have a more general-purpose robot that can fold your clothes, set your table, cook breakfast, and load/unload your dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer (or at least handle a reasonable subset of those tasks) we might finally start to see some progress in this area.

Those are enormously complicated tasks to solve in the general case though, so I don't anticipate anything like that being available for quite some time.
Look at Japan with 0.0039%, I wonder what they’re doing.
If your experience with the US is mainly restricted to the west coast (and especially the SF Bay Area), then you probably overestimate how many homeless people there are in the US as a whole. Homeless people are dramatically more common on the west coast than they are anywhere else in the country.

> Well he was caught killing the young child. Don't you think the public deserves to know who he is? How guilty does one need to be?

Proven guilty in a court of law. Until then he's presumed innocent.
Funny that you would quote Solzhenitsyn, who in the last years of his life went hard-core Russian nationalist extremist and indeed called for separating certain people from the rest of us and destroying them (only this time it would be a “Christian state” doing the destroying, and not the godless USSR, so it would all be OK).
> We need SRO's. (snip) We don't need "homes for the homeless." We need homes for the people.

I totally 100% agree, but your suggestion for SRO's sort of seems to counteract your statement above. Why would we build tenements for homeless, if no reasonable person would want to live in one?

If we want people to not be homeless, shouldn't we build them homes. Like real homes (where "real" means that at minimum, it meets all the same legal requirements that a 'market-rate' 1-bed or studio apartment would?)

If we need "homes for the people", shouldn't we actually build that? And not tenement/dormitory/SRO things that aren't really housing?
All these things are important, but this misses the important distinction - the higher up the leadership chain is about the scale you operate at, whether you affect one team of developers, a couple of teams, a director level organization, executive level organization, or the whole company.
I think this is more of a problem with Haskell than functional programming in general.
I concur. Is iRobot considered an unsuccessful company? The basic premise of the article is if these organizations are being consumer focused.

All those languages make it quite clear that you only get access to a code unit that way and other APIs usually exist to actually get access to code points, which then usually take a string and an index.

That the most visible mechanism of accessing parts of a string is based on code units along with UTF-16 masking bad code unless Emoji are involved (for most developers at least), is a problem, though. UTF-8 makes the failure case pop up much faster as pretty much every language doesn't only use ASCII.
Not vilifying public sector might be a good start.
That's not what is says at all. The article claims that you should use the most 'powerful' language available when writing application software (that meets your performance requirements), and that doing so will result in the greatest productivity.

The "Blub Paradox" is the claim that you can only understand how powerful languages are in terms of the powers the languages you know have. So if you understand Python and C++ and not Lisp, you are unable to estimate the power of Lisp.
I generally agree, but take Argentina with a grain of salt. It is an exceptional economic case on any and all measures.

The cause of the black-white IQ gap is not relevant to this thread - not sure why you brought it up - . The fact is that the gap exists and of course one would expect it to exist in the US prison population too thus the rest of my argument naturally follows. The crux of the matter being that rehabilitation works for Norway today but wouldn't work for US (today-near future). Cultural changes to raise IQs enough to be represented in the US prison population - sounds like a moon shot - is an entirely different discussion.

Keep the downvotes coming!
The IQ tests are quite a bit more culturally specific than people generally assume.
Most hardware based consumer technology is derived from industrial technology. Let this be electrical components (motor and such), computers, dishwashers, or cars/automobile. Even though consumer purchasing power has been getting stronger these past two decades thanks to the large boom in software development, it's still not strong enough to push key technology. If the industry does not adapt "general" robotic technology, there is very little chance that consumers will see this in their households any time soon.

Locking is not needed as long as you have conflict detection.
It might be a bit annoying, depending on UI, but at least it won't result in data loss.

Yep. It's huge for large manufacturers, who get to save a bunch on licensing fees, and cut bom costs.
I did read the article, and I maintain that it is training. It can save lives. They're trying to make you more afraid of dying through inaction than dying through action, and get you familiar with the fear so you don't freeze. This sort of training can be traumatic but it can also be effective. For young high agressive males, it's high on effeciveness and arguably lower on trauma, and reasonably justified if they are going into combat. For your average middle age female school teacher who has probably never even been in a fist fight let alone a firefight and probably never will, it's largely ineffective, much more traumatic, and likely pointless. I'm sure there were even a few teachers in that session who got some benefit from it. What is training for one person can be hazing for another. Try stepping into a ring with a thai kickboxer for some medium sparing in preparation for a fight. For some people that's just another day at the gym, while for others it's assault, and the most violent traumatic thing they've ever experience. The training has to be calibrated to the students, and in this article it clearly wasn't. To me it sounds more like executive incompetence/misunderstanding than deliberate malice.

>It's not the OS, its the Software only on that OS
I agree. Corporate speak is the worst combination of ass-covering and abdication of responsibility.

I think people mean well when they talk about empathy and kindness, but those concepts assume that the only reality is how we feel and speak about things, when generally it's the underlying reality that is painful or harsh. And when you have to deliver a product, you can't avoid that reality.

I try to address it by frequently talking about my own fuckups and thus making it easier for junior devs to understand that failing is something we all go through.

But nothing can change the fact that it hurts to invest deeply in something and see it fail. We can't make pain go away, so it's better to just get it over with and learn to adapt to it and be resilient.

The word fake doesn’t bother me, but maybe “limited 3d” would be a better term for it. The 3d it had was still correct 3d, sure, it was just limited in what kinds of 3d it could render, unlike the full 3d games that came soon after.
Not all potential avalanches happen. As a positive feedback loop the difference between an avalanche that does or does not happen can be arbitrarily small.

Back country snowboarding is a great example where small avalanches are much more common even if most of them don’t become significant. But, because the many small avalanches happen close together they are much more likely to grow. This is also why sound is more effective than you would expect, getting a huge number of tiny avalanches to happen at the same time makes it significantly more likely to form a large one.
I use ledger myself, but the issue I always run into is my wife is much less likely to keep track of what she buys and let me know so I can record it. Where that gets especially tricky is when she goes someplace and leaves a tip. Resolving tips is a real pain in the butt, especially since it comes through in the checking account at the original price and is then later processed at the tip-included price. Matching those up is a real bear.

I don't know how Rick Steves came to be, but he is a gem. His show is so ridiculously wholesome, it's a true joy to watch.
How is that a problem? Do you think this can't be achieved?
Fair enough; you have given me a lot to think about---thank you!

One more thing, though: I am not sure it is always that much of a free choice (even given the fact that no conscription exists). There might be economic reasons for joining the military, for example. However, since I am not a U.S. citizen, I am not sure how much of an issue this actually is.
There are very similar programs for the homeless in many of the cities with the worst homeless population, including SF. The helpful resources are there for people.

Most of the homeless in these areas just don't make use of these programs because of drug addictions and/or mental illness. It's a sad state, but it's not what you describe.
I robbed things when I was young. Yet I consider myself successful now and no longer a criminal.

Automatic currying and partial application are really just nice to haves though. You can manually do both as long as the language supports higher order functions.
> There is no single cause of homelessness. There is no single solution.

This is really important to emphasize.

I've never been homeless, but I did spend two years hanging out with homeless people while making a documentary film. The range of people on the street is almost as broad as the range of people off it. I met homeless people with Ph.D.'s. I met homeless people with florid schizophrenia. I met homeless people with substance abuse issues. I met homeless people who were perfectly ordinary but had some bad luck (ranging from losing their job to losing their entire family in a car crash). I even met homeless people who chose to live on the street (or in their car) because they wanted a nomadic lifestyle.

But no matter how you slice it, the only real solution to homelessness is housing.
Yes, waste water is the larger cause of these induced quakes. However, fracking produces a significant amount of wast water, so they indirectly contribute to induced quakes in that way as well.
> What works? Not prisons, not punishment, but rehabilitation.

Prisons & harsh punishment seems to work quite well in Singapore; they have one of the lowest crime rate in the world.

It’s going to be released, it just hasn’t happened yet.
Yes, you need to have some. But the barrier is getting lower by the year, even for International travel.

For example:

San Francisco <-> Milan, May 7 - May 20, Norwegian Air+Easy Jet: $598.

Air Bnb for the duration: Central Loft, $70/night, 13 nights, $910. (you can find much lower as well, if you want to go for the minimum).

Shop local, cook & eat in the apartment, $20/day? $280.

Spend 13 days walking and exploring Milan for under $2,000.

That's not a trivial amount, but it's not the $2,000 air fare and $150 night hotel and $50 day food type of money, either.
> Job titles squash the peculiar strengths and differences into a label and make organizations treat people as fungible units of work.

I'd think having clear job titles and differentiation would have the opposite effect of treating people as fungible units of work. I'm sorta with you on job titles, but my experience is that they enable organizational clarity, and people tend to like to show this reflected on their resumes/CVs. I'm curious to hear more about your thoughts on this.
For me, FP is mainly support of closures in order to build higher order functions. I also think that without a GC and proper tail recursion, a FP is cripple. Above that, you have many families of FP. FP with/without strong typing, FP with lazy/strict evaluation (often mixed), FP that favours immutable state, FP with OO, FP with syntactic sugar (and/or macro) or homoiconicity, FP with continuations (scheme).

It is a question of choice.

Ah so influence :)
I have spent ages understanding this.
And I am super happy that what you summarize is the mental model I have made up.
Homeless people have trouble finding bathrooms. When I had a "bathrooms" page on my homeless site, it was absolutely the most popular, well-trafficked page on the site by a wide margin. Homeless people live in an information vacuum, among other things.

If it were me, I would create a "homeless map" for the area. I would list all bathrooms nearby that are reasonably publicly accessible. I would probably also include other useful information. I would print multiple copies and hand them out liberally.

If you want to do this:

If your city has actual public bathrooms, make sure to specify where those are. List park bathrooms. List mall bathrooms and grocery stores and department stores, like Walmart or Target. List hours available if possible. Highlight anything available 24 hours.

Put a blurb on the bottom half of the page about cleanliness and health and the rise in disease among the homeless population caused by unsanitary conditions. Recommend that they carry hand sanitizer and spray peroxide to clean up after toileting. (Spray peroxide is available at Walmart and CVS Pharmacy -- it's cheaper at Walmart).

Do not put the info on the internet. I have reason to believe that publicizing such things online just attracts more homeless to your area. Instead, make it a paper handout and hand it out.

Give it a few weeks and then start calling the cops on these people if it doesn't stop. In nearly six years on the street, I never pooped in anyone's business doorway. Some homeless people intentionally do assholish things like that because they are mad as hell at how the world treats them and they want to express themselves.

This is a sanitized version of the flier I have been giving out to local homeless services and the local police department. I removed the paragraph with local information. Anyone here is welcome to adapt it for their own use.

We had conscription here back in the 80's when my number came up I refused to join the army. There was a considerable price to pay including a possible jail term but there is nothing that would cause me to go and kill/harm others without a good enough reason.
Most countries, and for that matter most urban areas in the US, routinely force the homeless off the streets pretty systematically.

California (and especially the Bay Area) get a lot of criticism for their homelessness not because SF is especially cruel to the homelessness, but because in the Bay Area it’s not generally considered acceptable to sweep the homeless out of town.

For instance, New York City (at least in Manhattan) was aggressive for many decades about rounding up the homeless and forcing them out of town.

This doesn’t mean the Bay Area is doing a good job with homelessness, the root of US urban homelessness does genuinely seem to be a combination of missing middle housing and a shortage of affordable and accessible mental/physical health care.

But the mere presence of visible homelessness is more about (direct) police tolerance, and (indirect) municipal political tolerance for visible homelessness.
To be clear I applaud successful attempts to make it better, what I doubt is a possibility to make the problem completely go away without users of the api ever having to think.
I can't imagine anyone caring enough to make a connection to a stranger to bad mouth someone, nor can I imagine someone remembering an interview from years ago about a candidate they didn't hire. Also if I understood correctly, the interview with the guy was about 3 years ago, that's about when the interviewer connected with the owner of the IoT company on linked in, and when you were having the conversation with that owner yes? So this is all a hypothetical about a thing that may have happened three years ago? Why are you worrying about this now? Just let it go and don't hold on to the past, you can't change it. Just write both of them and their companies off of possible interactions.

That said, let's assume that this interviewer is actually going around bad mouthing you. Why don't you hit him up on LinkedIn? Preface it with "You may not remember me, but..." and just tell him that he was right. Say that his feedback while mean, helped you realize you needed to grow as a person and developer. Make him understand that you are sorry for how you reacted in the interview many years ago. Make it clear you're not asking him for a job or anything though, and that you just want to thank him for his helpful feedback.

It will stroke his ego a bit, and in my experience when you admit you were wrong even when its been years, and show how you've rectified the problem, the person is willing to try and reform an opinion on you.

Though I would bet on the first option of the possibilities you stated.

It's certainly not inexpensive to do intercontinental travel, that's for sure. But Steves' thing is all about doing it more affordably.

> Above all, Steves told us, do not be afraid. The people of the world are wonderful, and the planet we share is spectacular.

I've done a small splash of international travel. But in my career I've been lucky enough to be exposed to people from lots of places in the world, and I've drawn the same conclusion. When people here in the US ruminate about global events and foreigners I wonder if they've ever really met any. Because you very quickly draw the conclusion -- "Hey, these people aren't very different at all -- they have family and friends and they go to work and care about their family and friends just like me!"
