Paradise for the unproductive and unambitious, yes. That's why Europe is no longer innovative and competitive and China is doing much better.

It's a balance.

At some point, a channel should be created for the issue (if long lived) or Slack conversations transplanted onto a ticket.

On the other hand, I've had an equal number of times where ticket formalism led to a misunderstanding, someone on another team taking an incorrect action, and a couple weeks to get resolved.

Work that could have been saved with 10 minutes of direct communication.

Or the dreaded hot potato ticket that out of misunderstanding / laziness gets reassigned to different teams, until a week passes without any actual work done.

So, I guess the optimal solution is to know what each tool is good and bad at, and let those guide actions and policies.
Furthermore, the fact remains that they don't actually make a ton of money on car sales but instead car service[0]. So there's little incentive on making a car that is truly 'Built to last'.

what's so bad about repetition anyway? It's like grabbing a hammer and scouring a building looking for loose nails to justify its use. why not focus on difficult problems instead?
But it requires a perfect hash. You need to guarantee over any potential input that you don't have collisions.

How do you do that over all inputs? If there is a generalized non-probabilistic perfect hash function I am unaware of it and I'd like to be aware of it.

I don't think a general discussion on this topic can really be had.

In my experience of working for shitty enterprise software, good and bad consulting firms (and seeing how their non-tech clients work), and silicon valley startups. The company financials, work culture, job market are all vastly different, impacting all the trade-offs of different hiring method.

i.e. some firms simply cannot afford top-of-the-market pay for senior engineers they want to hire, so they hire more junior ones and train them, who eventually leave after they're trained, but people don't immediately jump to next ship paying a little more, so you end up getting good work out of them for a period of time while underpaying them.

Some companies compete on non-momentary means.

Some pay top of the market rate, but only hire seniors.

Some pay top of the market rate, and hire from all levels; some of the juniors rise up through promotions, and some didn't get recognition despite growing, so they leave for other companies.

Some companies simply don't care about engineering quality, or does not have the ability/DNA to differentiate between good and bad work.

Also in silicon valley, networking and mentoring good engineers is much more professionally rewarding than in smaller markets.
There's an interesting interface from F# to R, which is not maintained by Microsoft http://bluemountaincapital.github.io/FSharpRProvider/

The most important errors in R are not at all related to data type safety (though NA/NULL handling is a common issue), they're about the statistical soundness of the analysis you're conducting. Experimental design, implicit assumptions and invariants, confounding factors, and the appropriateness of the statistical tests you're applying for the distribution of the data you're applying them to. It sounds like tea-lang helps with the latter part.

Microsoft definitely doesn't "own" R, just one distribution of R (Microsoft R Open) and a package repository (MRAN).

(I'm a Microsoft employee and heavy user of R at work)
* Bitcoin is not yet deflationary as new coins are still minted for reward blocks.

* Bitcoin is not guaranteed to go up and has so much volatility that you are essentially gambling.

* Bitcoin is inferior as a payment system, even when they use debit cards to interface with mainstream PoS.

* Bitcoin has probably topped out and we are nearing the end of it's hype cycle.
My last company would insist that they couldn’t give promotions or significant raises. Until you came in with an outside offer, then they’d roll out the red carpet and bend over backwards to keep you.

It breeds distrust, discontent, and disloyalty.

The best people don’t like this and leave. They company is left with people who can’t land outside offers. And the company ends up needing to pay market rate anyway to replace the good people who left.

Idiotic.
Good point. But I think there is a distinction between measuring entropy and the passing of time. From my understanding entropy provides the arrow of time, meaning the non symmetrical past vs future. Whereas time by itself could still be measured as flowing, though whether forward or backward you may not be able to determine.

Obviously if something like a human brain was there to observe things, you'd have the entropy of your neurons to be sure of the direction as well. =D

Or never start to use it in the first place.

The fundamental problem with Slack is that its interactions are not structure in the right way to be useful in non-real-time. An email thread has two critical pieces of structure that Slack threads lack: a subject line, and a beginning. With email, it's easy to tell where a particular discussion started, and which messages have to do with that discussion. On Slack, these things are all intertwingled. In order to find the beginning of a discussion you have to scan everything in the channel. That is what makes Slack a distraction. It's much harder (like virtually impossible) to filter content by topic after the fact.
Yeah, everything "works" until it doesn't.

This apparently requires a Kaspersky rescue GRUB, shim, and a small bit of porting skill.

" Red Hat GRUB Secure Boot repository[2], the only problem—PE header parser is missing. GRUB gets parsed header from shim, in a response to a function call via a special protocol. This could be easily fixed by porting the appropriate code from the shim or PreLoader to GRUB."

This is why I've been holding off on trying to develop cross-platform software that talks to microcontrollers and then executes code- because I want the UI / GUI experience to be fluid, and for things like selecting something you want to change to highlight that element on the board itself- there's no well-defined method for doing this, nor even a once-trod path, and definitely not anything for those who don't know where to look.

Does anyone have suggestions for cross-platform UI's? (Not Electron)

No - you just love making this about identity politics, when clearly the op had no intention of doing so. Is there some "woke school" somewhere that indoctrinates people into making everything about identity? Are you instructed to shift actual debate to a series of specious but seemingly moral strawmans and ad hominems about the debater's identity, without actually making a point? Because who needs to pay attention to actual discourse if you can bark accusations, right?

There's NOTHING "painfully obvious" to deduce from the ops arguments, other than your bigoted attack on his/her assumed identity.
> Pipistrel (electro) did it for their ultralight.

The Pipistrel Alpha was the aircraft I immediately thought of when I saw this AOPA press release. A Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) already FAA certified.[1] The Sustainable Aviation Project currently uses a few of them.[2]

Edit: Actually in the US the Alpha is only certified as Experimental.[3] Other jurisdictions have different certifications.[4]

Maybe I visited a site about a product that I'm interested in, but it's not in my interest to buy it right this second. Yet in this case Google will repeatedly bring this product to the forefront of my mind, skewing my perception and my decision-making.

The value proposition of advertisement is not to lay out unbiased facts to aid me in making a decision, it's to push me to purchase a product that I otherwise would not have purchased, or that I would have delayed in purchasing, for example until I properly saved for it or until I really needed it.

To summarize, it's not in my best interest to pay interest on a product I'm merely interested in, as opposed to actually needing.

I ran across this a few years ago. I made the mistake of registering a .us domain with my home address. Found out the stupidity of that when my wife's ex, who has been out of her life for over 10 years at that point, sent us a wedding gift. We both have fairly unique names - there's only 1 of each of us with the same first/last name in the US. Makes me pretty paranoid about tying stuff to my real name now.
And a couple weeks before I left, they put in a job ad for 7 developers

I find it amusing that wanting other people to learn to read can be and often is considered insulting. Perhaps there's also a bit of a culture clash - Russians are relatively direct.

Spending your time trying to write clearly and unambiguously likely won't be appreciated much, but it does make the world a better place.
Well, this is just another piece of evidence that my decision to both not be a part of Facebook and to not have any pictures of me online were correct.
1) Ignoring actual question, electrics will likely benefit from flying extremely high as the motors don't care about atmosphere. Fuel burn won't really matter here though.

2) GA certification has sunk so many companies it's become a running joke. It's entirely fair to question their approach of using a heavily modded Lancair Legacy with an ipad for EFIS/EMS.

3) Yea, but again, they said they want to use an iPad as primary EFIS. Seems like a good way to piss off the FAA to me...

Well, yes and no. They are implementing a rendering engine that supports things the web famously doesn't support, which includes fundamentals like UITableView from iOS. They are doing this by leveraging new APIs to access what browser layout engines do under the hood. So in that way, it generates native browser elements, and their API is declarative. So it's at least one abstraction layer below React and friends.
So interesting. Thanks for the write up! It sounds very convenient, actually.

The world doesn't really care about what you need. It simply doesn't work like that. If you have a need, do something about it and help out.
VFR has got nothing to do with altitude. You can fly VFR in the US in most places at any altitude below 18,000 feet. Its premise is to remain clear of clouds.

Radar following has very little in general to do with safely landing if you have an emergency. While they can advise you of nearby runways, a significant part of the pilot's job is maintaining situational awareness, which includes knowing the nearby points to land at.

Being near a controlled airport has got nothing to do with safely landing an aircraft, even during an engine out emergency.

I don't understand why you conflate the loss of the engine to loss of radio. You have no idea how the aircraft is configured electrically.

You really can get deep work done in pair and mob programming, especially when trained in it.

I find it odd to believe that intense, deep work can only happen in solo.
I think it's a bit unhealthy to find penises and vaginas disgusting, but I wouldn't want to discourage somebody from talking about how they feel, if that's how they feel.

If we want to encourage more openly talking about sex, perhaps it's only fair that we also support people openly talking about what they find disgusting.

There is some healthy biological basis behind a disgust reaction to either, as genital contact carries diseases too, depending on how it's done and the history. In that regard, handling faeces is quite similar to close encounters with gentalia - either can be safer or unsafe depending how it's done, and both are a natural part of life which is healthy in moderation.

But you don't get to pick the input type. What's your adaptive, non-probabilistic perfect hash function for all data types?

I'm only aware of partial solutions to that problem, of which top down Radix sort is in fact one. But once you do that you don't need the table to solve the problem anyways, you've already got your discrimination function and you'd just pass that over the data.

I cannot see why the tabular part of the hash table proposed solution is anything more than cargo culting.
Your DNA is no more your private property than your or your grandmother's face.

We give content personalization far too much credit for the modern issue of both social and political polarization, it is much more fundamental. We've had "filter bubbles" since the dawn of civilization -- in fact it's where those concepts come from: tribal thinking / group thinking.

How did you get that ordering? LA is listed first in the S1.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_areas_by_populat... Tokyo and Seoul (not on the top five Uber list but have Uber presence) are both larger than any city on Uber's top 5 list. Sao Paulo (on Ubers list) is just barely larger than Mexico City (not on the list). Los Angeles (18th largest urban area by population) and London (35th largest urban area by population) are significantly smaller, and the Bay Area is all the way down at 61st, right behind Dallas-Fort Worth (not on Uber's list).

So no, those five cities do not make up a disproportionate amount of the total urban population that Uber covers, just a disproportionate amount of the riders.

I feel for you, but then again, why do you keep hiring newbies? You get what you pay for.

Also, maybe the employee is worth the 20% pay bump after you’ve trained them? It sounds like you’re letting another company enjoy the fruits of your labor at a relatively cheap price.

I don't use evil-mode (anymore), but I still use Spacemacs. I'm too lazy to configure everything myself (language modes, Helm, Projectile, Magit, etc) so I use Spacemacs as a starting point and load a bunch of extra ELisp on top.

Have an upvote for the mention of SCORE (and thank you for your volunteer service!)

More than a modern-day Napster, I'd love to see a modern day AudioGalaxy as it was initially conceived. Genres and sub-genres linked organically and visually. You could explore for hours and hours and hours and find new music to try.

Alternately, I'd love to be able to tweak the parameters of Soundcloud's recommendation engine, so that it was less like "You listed to 3 songs like this last week... here's 25 more songs very similar to those."

I know they acqui-hired Paul Lamere (of Infinite Jukebox and Boil the Frog fame), I'd love to be able to get automagic "everything-in-between" for a variety of songs from my recent past. My tastes trend broader than they do deep, though, so I reckon I'm an outlier.

Music discovery has always been a hard problem, but I think AG back in the day had it mostly solved.

I have worked with a lot of CTOs or similar. Sometimes CTO is a title that can approve large budgets and an effective CTO is actually their direct report.

Being a CTO is less about technology and more about understanding the global technical landscape, accounting and legal implications to large budget decision making. If I, for example, choose Microsoft as a vendor will that impact our Pacific market and if so what is the cost benefit? These are not trivial choices. To an extent a lot of the job is risk mitigation, reducing liability for the company.

A good analogy would be a CEO of a shipping company not knowing how to sail. They will know costs of the voyage, costs associated with the voyage, etc. but not the day to day of how a ship operates. And they don’t need to. If anyone has worked with a micromanager they’d appreciate this.
