Tally on Mobile Is Your Secret Weapon
I once had a manager/CEO who thought you can negotiate the planning, the same as like a price. "The customer always wants to get it earlier, the engineer later". Me saying that only the developer is able to give a realistic planning, was probably received as "developer wants to push the deadline back in his negotiation".

In the end, his company went bust because he was selling stuff to customers that could never be delivered on time, or even never at all.

> Even modern America was largely born out of giants of industry serving their own self interest and fucking everyone else including the climate over.

Modern America, and the prosperous parts of the world more generally was built by people coming together in sweet commerce to come to a mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services, made easier by the medium of money. The giants of industry that you denigrate made things people wanted more than the money they paid to get them and the engines of capitalism made whole societies richer than the kings of a century ago in comfort, leisure, health and material goods. This is not to deny the part government and labour movements played in that miracle but if you took the wealth of Britain in 1900 and distributed it perfectly equally among the people we would still consider them wretchedly poor. Hand washing clothes, minimal indoor heating, medical care that’s on average worse than nothing, travel for leisure being a once in a lifetime experience if that, the improvements that we take for granted come from the work those captains of industry did and the work they made possible.

> “They don’t build stuff like they used too anymore”.

In fairness part (but far from all) of the reason we don't build stuff like we used too, is because we have much better understanding of material limits so we don't need to over-design structual elements like we used to.

How that understanding of material limits feeds into design obsolescence is where I do get annoyed though.

With everything we know now we could (obviously) build things better (for whatever criteria you chose) than they did 50 or 100 years ago, if that was the goal but it rarely is.

My favourite piece of civil engineering in the world (because it's nearby and I've ridden over it many times) was built in 1980 though (it's the exact same age as me) and its still awe-inspiring to look at.

I'm on a project right now and I am telling people "I don't know how long it will take because nobody here has ever done anything like this. The only thing I can tell you is that nobody is wasting time and we are solving problems as quickly as we can. Look at the JIRA board and see what we have done and what we are planning to do and make your own estimate". So far I haven't been fired. I also refuse to stop work and start long planning meetings like I have seen in previous projects.
Right, thats why steeling yourself for the possibility of having to deal with unreasonableness is important. If you run into it, the first step to dealing with it is to get someone to explain what they expect clearly, in relevant detail, and non-hyperbolically. This short-circuits the possibility of mere misinterpretation. They might have just been expressing their emotions but not yet grappling with their desires in concrete terms—doing so might bring them back down to earth. Then you can resume jointly problem-solving.

If that doesn’t work...I’m actually not sure. But I just started reading the book Crucial Conversations and it claims to have a relevant answer.
Or you could collect all of your identities in one other central place (say your website or HN) and link to the central place from all other profiles. Because that is exactly the scenario you just mentioned. Having direct links to all other profiles isn't solved by keybase. The only thing it provides is a central place for profile links – and there are obviously other ways to achieve this.

I think "in principle" is still better - what it means that you can't observe it directly, indirectly, infer its existence, etc. There's not a single bit of universe state that would be different depending on existence of phenomenon under question (if even a single bit of state flipped, you could in principle observe it).

Qm - I assume you mean wave functions and their collapse - are an explanatory mathematical abstraction, but they follow rules grounded in observational data. You don't say "wave function collapsed there, only it's impossible to measure it"; that's meaningless. We say that the wave function collapses when we find some observation changing from one state to another in a way that implies there were superpositions of state involved in the middle.

My number is 5. Maybe my estimates tend to be a little optimistic :-). But in general I can look at something for a few minutes, make a quick estimate (maybe ask somebody else), multiply by 5 and be pretty close to the eventual time it will take.
Another thought here, perhaps more urgent than the rest: bandcamp or label site links where available, so that you can also promote buying and supporting artists. E.g. https://www.beatnikapp.com/music/514 should also link to https://bigbigbusiness.bandcamp.com/album/the-beast-you-are

No; what the article is doing is equivalent to blaming the whole World War II on MP 40 machine pistols.

A PowerPoint presentation did not kill the astronauts. Hell, judging by the full slide deck (elsewhere in the comments), the presentation wasn't even that bad - it was detached, the way scientific papers are detached. Could it be better? Yes. Should it be blamed for this? Not really.
> They probably don’t want you to lie, but there is a small chance that they pruessure you to.

In my experience, most of the time there was pressure. I remember a funny conversation between my project manager and a colleague:

PM: "We need to have X as soon as possible, how long will it take you?"

Dev: "Oh that's, easy, I can finish it tomorrow."

PM: "Tomorrow??? That's impossible, because it needs a and b, no?"

Dev: "Yes you are right... I can probably finish it by next week."

PM: "Next week??? That is a long time! It's only a, b, c
and d that needs to be done. Does it all take that long?"

Dev: "You are right, I can probably finish it sooner. I can get it ready by this Friday."

PM: "That is perfect! The customer wanted to put in production on Monday, so we can now confirm. Thanks!"

I overheard that story (open office), and it was a real facepalm moment.
There definitely are, or
at least were, H-1Bs at Boeing. In the beginning of my career, I nearly became one myself (this was at the time when Russia and the US were on much friendlier terms), but I decided to steer into computational finance instead.

Not all H-1Bs are incompetent or lazy. I still have good
memories of my team back in Russia — some people there did contractor work for Boeing (documentation management software), and a few moved to the US via H-1Bs. They were competent professionals, I’d vouch for them anytime.

There are no guarantees for all contractors, of course.
According to Joel Spolsky¹, programmers are generally bad at estimating, but they are consistently bad, with the exact factor depending on the individual. So by measuring each person’s estimate and comparing it to the actual time takes after the fact, you can determine each person’s estimation factor, and then when they estimate again, you can get a pretty reliable figure.

There is a type of negotiation that can be done: Negotiation about scope. Work doesn’t get compressed. But stakeholders can identify non-essential business-facing features and cut scope.

Note well: Automated testing is almost certainly essential. If someone says you are “building an MVP”, then make sure it is an actual MVP. Make sure you have a clear market hypothesis to test and check that it couldn’t be built out of duct tape, Google Forms, Zapier, ITTT, manual processes, and excel-wrangling.
I’ve been coding professionally for 20 years and I’m largely no better at estimating completion than day 1, maybe worse since I’m more likely to feign confidence in a figure I’ve essentially pulled out of my ass.

> But now engineering seems to be : let's ask my computing power what is the good design, with little further questioning.

I see this quite often at the undergrad level. Even for the simplest problem that can be solved with a pencil and a couple of calculations, many students launch their finite element software and blindly trust the results, even if it is telling them something obviously wrong, like orders of magnitude larger or smaller than expected, or with the opposite sign.

I acknowledge the problem, but I do not know where it comes from, or how to stop it.

Perl 6 a new Perl-ish language with grammars powerful enough to parse and run itself. You can use it to write FP or OOP or imperative or reactive code, or all of the above in the same program. Despite the sprawling feature set, there's a clearly defined specification, and it's written in the form of tests. Currently there's only one implementation that runs 6.d, but that implementation runs on MoarVM (C lang), the JVM, and (in progress) Javascript.

And of course the best thing that they fixed from Perl 5 is the community. If you have an interest in learning more about the language, come by on #perl6 on freenode and we'd be glad to help you out.

I think that's a bit unfair; designs have gotten so much more advanced and efficient in part thanks to computational design. The efficiency, range and maximum weight that airplanes can carry has pretty much doubled since that time.

However, the original comment and the video it is a reply to explains a bit of the countering force; economy and competition. It's management that pressures the engineers to cut corners, basically.

I don't doubt the Boeing engineers are some of the best people in the industry. I'm very much skeptical of management (and whipping them are shareholders) that optimize for time and by extension profits.

The system is wired to goad students to fall into debt to sustain a decent living standard. I am transferring school from a fairly low-cost city (Albuquerque, NM) to Atlanta. My own issues are not comparable to these kids, but about 60% of my stipend is potentially going into rent, and more than 20% into fees, so I have started to doubt my decision to continue grad school.
This is fantastic. I'm also waiting for news about portable gynaecological ultrasound tools - it will make huge improvements in pregnancy success rates.
I've worked from home (if that qualifies as remote) and was on a salary, paid directly to my back account with health, pension benefits, etc, handled by the company. Worked as a contractor for a couple of companies and have been paid using wire transfer and PayPal.

I think most of the time it's best to think in terms of waves, but every now and then they exhibit particle-like behaviour. Any such attempt at simplification hits problems though.

I think the best approach is to be pragmatic and simply follow the observations and what the experiments tell us rather then force it into one paradigm or the other and complain when it doesn't make sense. This is sometimes referred to as the "Shut up and do the math" approach.

Hm, a few years ago when I was actively fuzzing stuff, UAFs were something like 20-30% of the crashes and one of the more exploitable memory corruption bug classes.

I will grant that the fuzzing targets were browsers, pdf readers, office suites and stuff which have some characteristics not shared by all C++ software.

In particular, a script engine and usually a way for “native” objects to get referenced or frobbed by scripting. Along with complex trees of object references, custom allocators, object pools etc.

I would have loved to have written a more substantive response but I didn’t want to download the PDF and check their analysis because they wanted to harvest my email.

What I can say is that a large proportion of real-world attacks where a hapless user gets pwned by a malicious file, document or script have a UAF somewhere down below as a root cause.

Not sure how UAF as a bug class got rated “least common” in their analysis? Would love to see some insight here, it doesn’t mesh at all with my lived experience but of course I could be missing something.

Jobs was a liar. He also said no engineers were laid off from Pro Apps, when in fact half of Pro Apps engineers were fired at the end of the 2000s.
Well, I think this is a complex topic. Not because of the math, but because the key to an accurate estimate is to understand who has done the estimate and on what basis.

As stated in the summary, the core driver for inaccurate estimates is uncertainty:

> Tasks with the most uncertainty (rather the biggest size) can often dominate the mean time it takes to complete all tasks.

There are different sources of certainty:

- Experience: If someone has done a task 20 times he probably knows how much time he will require. Someone who hasn't done the task yet, probably underestimate the time he requires (e.g. because of the median vs. mean conflict). But don't be fooled just because you have 20 years of work experience in the field but never actually done a specific task doesn't mean you can estimate it better than someone who just started the job but had done that specific task 10 times. However, most of the time, projects are doing something new. So you have to find out which tasks have been done before by a project member and which are completely new ground. If something is completely new, remember to plan time for getting familiar with a problem space plus a handful of complications (together this will be more than the actual task would take someone who is trained for that specific task).

- Detail: The smaller the tasks the larger the overall estimate... or so. Planning on a top-level is rarely going to be accurate. We do it a lot because it doesn't take much time. But if you want an accurate estimate, you have to plan on small, specific tasks.

- Risk management: Every project has risks. Some don't really have an impact and others blow up the whole project. Know your risks and what you are going to do if something should go in the wrong direction. It is not like you wouldn't have time to figure out what to do when the problem occurs but to understand how it would impact your timing and to take preventive actions (e.g. include stakeholders).

If you have people who have done the exact same task a few times, made a detailed plan of every step and know how to handle the most likely or impactful risks you are in a good position to deliver on time. Most of the time you won't have that luxury and have to compensate the resulting uncertainty with a prolonged time to project completion, but that should be just fine when being communicated in the beginning.

With all that said, remember, that some projects don't require an accurate estimate. Sometimes it is enough to deliver just as soon as possible.
