Why not asking them during the interview process?

Have them "drive" you through the resolution of one of the issues that you expect could happen. See how they behave and what they try - they may not necessarily have the complete correct answer, but you will see if they know where to look, the basic concepts, and so on.

I've interviewed people capable of writing ansible scripts, but with no real ability to dive into issues and fix them and/or investigate what's broken. Many would not even tell me "we could just provision a new VM to replace the one that went down, right?"...
It's a good evolution over Pulse and Jack. Partially driven by Wayland security model too. So I see no problem in doing the right thing here.

And I don't like that xkcd in general because it's missing the point. Its basic idea boils down to "don't improve anything because it's another new thing" which is outright wrong. Not every design can be improved incrementally.
>What's unethical is to have your countrymen in a fight with substandard equipment that you could have helped them improve.

if the fight's imminent or already on, sure. but most of the time weapons are made long before there is the anticipation of a fight.

if nation A has a weapon that lets them fight without risking their soldiers as much as nation B, nation A will always be more willing to enter armed conflict, especially against the less-endowed nation B. so the act of making a better weapon lowers the threshold for using force.

that's one big reason why drones are exceptionally effective weapon systems. surveillance and airstrikes in enemy territory are prone to being shot down and the pilots killed or taken prisoner to be used as a bargaining chip for peace, but drones aren't. the political toll of a drone being shot down is practically zero in comparison, so drone wars can continue indefinitely without domestic outcry.
I don't think I've been in a truly Agile shop, though a few times we had truly Agile periods on a given project.

That said, some worked. If they:
* considered every task to be a mix of features, deadlines, and resources, and realized that if you fall behind, even a little, you have to adjust at least one of those three
* iteratively completed tasks and reviewed any adjustments to the overall project
* Had dev <=> management be two way communication

Then things were pretty smooth, even if they weren't Agile.

Why bother with that when you can go shopping for a jurisdiction that will let you do whatever you want with minimal interference?

We were taught to touch type in grade school, but I goofed off during those lessons. I got through college without needing it. I was a speedy point-and-peck typist, which was good enough for that period of my life.

Later on, when I learned to program, I found that my slow typing speed frequently caused me to lose my train of thought midway through a line of code. It was frustrating enough that I spent a month teaching myself to touch type. Basically, I took online typing tests over and over after work.

Since then, my typing speed has at least doubled. I don't look at the keyboard anymore, and I'm able to get my thoughts down with _much_ less friction. I can't recommend it enough.
>I wish I could downvote this 100 times

There's a reason we don't give people more voting power in politics, economics, etc., based on the strength of their convictions.

If you want to have people follow proposals and programs you espouse, package the proposals & programs properly. "Pay more taxes to maintain status quo" doesn't cut it. "Earth will be uninhabitable in X years" has been cried one thousand times too many and will never be believable.

"Cheaper energy and nicer cars and cleaner environment and happier dolphins and less waste" is great. Even better, the case makes itself: most people have already witnessed great improvements in all those through our lifetimes, and can easily imagine more of the good stuff.

A pale blue dot, if you can keep it.

> Communities have the right to declare certain things unacceptable and police their citizens accordingly.

No, they don't; communities don't have rights, individuals do. Communities have the legitimate power to do what you describe so long as no individual rights are violated.

> The regulation of vice and harmful substances is one of the core functions of state and local governments.

No, it's not. It may in some cases be an aspect of a legitimate core function (the protection of public health, for instance) so long as the manner of regulation is actually consistent with that function and with individual rights.
I am far (very, very far) from being a millionaire, much less a billionaire. Nevertheless I have a pension and other investments in stocks and shares trackers.
I'm certain one of my holdings via those trackers has committed an offense, or done something 'immoral'. So I suppose my gains are ill gotten, as are probably everyone else's.

No, they did not; the conferences were attended by the governments of the German states, who had passed through the de-Nazification filter but were otherwise selected by purely German political processes.

When it came to the content of the constitution, the Allies' conditions were clear and pretty general - it had to be democratic, and it had to be federal. (The latter was distinguished from the Weimar constitution only in that the Allies insisted on general size parity between states.) Plus complying with occupation policy on control of heavy industry. See https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurter_Dokumente

The main principles of the constitution itself were assembled by German elected governments of the states (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verfassungskonvent_auf_Herrenc...), and were very much direct responses to the process of the Nazi takeover in 1933.
You can use the same line of argument to say the messages are accessible to whoever makes the device, since they could in principle monitor the message. It's kind of an empty criticism.
When talking about the potency of methane as a greenhouse gas, lifespan of about 20 years. CO2, on the other hand, has a lifespan of around 100 years.

Interestingly, rice agriculture generates about as much methane as livestock, and burning biomass (wood) and landfills each generate about half as much methane as livestock.

How can you be so confident that this wont completely collapse leaving a lot of people in the lurch. It feels frankly irresponsible to me for people to start businesses in this manor. There is an incredible amount of intellectual dishonesty, coupled with a general lack of empathy for the people you are roping into this. How do you sleep with yourself at night?
IMO it depends how they got there.

For me the "minimal set" of rules that can still be called Agile is a mechanism for measurement, and a retrospective. You use the retrospective to perturb the process, and you use the measurement to decide whether that perturbation was a success or a failure.

That's it - old school cybernetics. If you used feedback loops to iterate towards a successful process, you're doing Agile. If there are parts of the process that are off-limits to you (eg management insists on doorstepping your standups) then you're not doing Agile.

Of course, we "prime the pump" somewhat by throwing in a bunch of extra rules at the beginning that we know from experience are likely to work, but I think that Agile, done right, has a lot in common with Nomic.
Do you plan on taking care of them when they can no longer work?

It’s not so ridiculous... an organisation will want the decision makers to be the people with the most skin in the game, and the easiest way to achieve this is pay them more money. Maybe the answer is for more people to work as contractors rather than employees, maybe as part of guilds with which firms can strike long-term contracts. But many office jobs are so amorphous, hard to think how a guild could supply the labour.
Their goal is to hire the best candidates as quickly as possible and given the amount of applications it makes sense for them to focus attention somewhere.

Currently highly selective schools and other famous companies are the easiest filter. Then they don’t want to have unconscious bias from that point on - I don’t think it’s virtue signaling, it’s more just pragmatism.

The reason I think Lambda School is cool is that they're actually focused on the first piece of this, scaling up to give opportunity to capable people the current system ignores and eventually leveraging their reputation to get people interviews. Right now it’s extremely unlikely to get accepted into MIT or Stanford, but Lambda School is incentivized to not do this - if you’re capable of the work they want to be able to scale to admit you.
Although this is not made clear in the article, the highest amount of greenhouse gasses are released by energy production and industry, which, combined, account for about half of all emissions [1].

So what this article is saying is that I should consider going vegan or reducing the (already meager) amount of meat in my diet so that fossil fuel companies can keep burning fossil fuels and don't have to get off their butt to develop greener alternatives, and so that industry can continue producing useless capitalist crap that nobody needs.

To take it even further, this article is suggesting I restrict my options so that others can continue profiting from the destruction of the environment.

Personally I don't drive and I don't fly. I don't even own a car. I go everywhere by train or bus and on foot. I contribute to greenhouse gasses much less than many vegans. And I'm very tired of hearing people saying I should reduce the amount of meat I eat because it's destroying the environment. Food is necessary- driving cars is not.

> As I understand it, Google gets around that problem by having a group of people where frying fish like that is their primary responsibility.

I'd rephrase this: Google gets around this problem by having tooling (one such tool is the monorepo) that makes fixing issues like these fairly simple. A straightforward example like this one could be fixed with sed/clangtidy/refaster (depending on the language) + Rosie[1] in a few days, even if there were thousands (or 10s of thousands) of uses. But the work of upgrading is borne by the person doing the upgrade, not client teams who suddenly encounter compile errors when they try to version bump. This is much "fairer".

India is launching their second moon probe in July, expected to land on Moon by September. China has also ramped up its efforts. US has declared its intentions of landing humans on moon by 2030. I am sure India and China will have similar capabilities till 2030 as well.

I think he's extremely optimistic and confident. He's been extremely successful so far, he's a billionaire, has done many things that nay sayers would have called impossible (ie: paypal, landing rockets, building electric cars with very competitive performance). It's not hard to see why Musk might believe he can do anything. He's taken big risks and gotten a lot of positive reinforcement over the last two decades.

I agree that his timeline for robotaxis is probably over optimistic, and that there are many unsolved problems. Self-driving isn't all they have to solve. They also have to solve complex and annoying problems such as having self-driving cars find the people they are supposed to pick up, and also having the cars somehow find charging, find parking, etc. Furthermore, Tesla's claim of 1 million robotaxis assumes that everyone who owns a Tesla with full self driving would want to rent them out as part of the Tesla Network. That's very unrealistic. Most people probably prefer having their car be always available and not subjecting it to potential damage/towing/fines (more driving, more risk).

Still, I wouldn't say Musk is ignorant about the state of self driving. They have self driving cars which they have demoed to people on their investor day. He just makes this probably incorrect assumption that it's all "just software" from here, and everything should be easy to fix. Software isn't easier than hardware. It could also be the case that changes do need to be made for the hardware in order to get high enough reliability, there is no guarantee that the hardware is completely right in its current iteration.
They are finite but the finite total is over five times the amount needed to utterly destroy the environment... so we need to refrain from using up that finite total.

I don't see anything in there about mileage in the space vehicle, only on the ground. The oldest IRS rate I could find is from 1980: 22¢/mile. So for 205,000 miles the reimbursement would be $45,100. Or $138,724.09 in today's money.

(Yes, I know the mileage isn't reimbursable because government transportation was provided.)
The danger that I foresee is that additional information about me will leak to companies that I don't want it leaked to.

That is sufficient all by itself, even if that information is never overtly used in a way that personally harms me.
I've been using bazel (and the Google-internal version, blaze) for years now. The builds are extremely reliable and are used to deploy loads of projects across Google every day. I no longer work there, but my new company is also using bazel and we never run into issues with unreliable builds.

I think you're falling into the trap of "past solutions didn't work, therefore the problem is intractable", which is a special case of the "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" fallacy. Sometimes a new tool comes out that fixes the problems of past tools.
They did make efforts to hide the browser and I assume they were constrained by the need to enable users to access captive portals. A random Ruby interpreter by some developer not part of Nintendo is not in any way necessary for them, so there's no reason for them not to take the game down. Which they did. The reason why should be obvious.

As for their efforts: They've made far more effort than they ever have before. Using homebrew or custom firmware effectively means you can't ever use that device online again (which wasn't the case for earlier consoles).

Are you suggesting that just because they've made mistakes that they would be in any way inclined to let the Ruby thing go?

Sweden followed all normal procedures for an extradition request within the EU. Both the UK high court and the appeals court ruled he should be extradited to answer for accusations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.

If he feared the US, why the heck did he flee from Sweden to the UK in the first place? The UK is notorious for its one sided extradition treaty with the US.
The big advantage of the digital “glass cockpits” was the ability to reduce needed flight crew from 3 to 2. Before the -400, all 747 flights would have a captain, first officer and a flight engineer (sitting behind the two pilots, monitoring engines and other parameters), while modern flights do away with the flight engineer. The glass cockpits aren’t necessarily easier to read or learn, but they do allow a lot more information to be presented in a much more compact space (and only display alerts rather than always having all sensors visible at all times)
Interesting! I didn't know about `CTRL+C`.

You may like to also try `CTRL+[`. It's the telnet escape character and seems to be a general substitute for ESC on OSX, Windows, and I think Linux too. I find it pretty quick since my hands can work together.

Another handy tip I ran across was to remap CAPS LOCK to CTRL. Quite nice for both Vim and Emacs users once you get used to it.

It is not as simply to reduce climate impact based on what you eat. The data this article use is based on averages, and as in every industry the lowest standard it drastically different from the top and carry more quantity.

On the very top you got meat produced that actively helps the environment. Highland cattle that keeps national reservations open comes to mind. There is also overpopulated and invasive species. At the bottom you got cattle who live their whole life inside a barn and get feed from deforested jungle farms, using unimaginable amount of pesticide and antibiotics.

It is also important to remember that diet is far from the most effective personal choice to make when it come to climate change (https://phys.org/news/2017-07-effective-individual-tackle-cl...). It is ranked 6th. Driving to buy produce at a farmer several miles out of town is likely to produce more C02 than biking down to eat a burger. An electric car might help, through it depend if the electricity is made from coal or wind.

The article gives some averages and for people who don't want to think about the climate and want a simple guide the article provides. However if you care about the topic and can spend the energy to go deeper and consider all facets then it is much better to make informed decision by digging deeper.
For starters, its not a government contract...

It's a private organization that contracted with another private organization with the support of the local governments and populace.
I suppose it depends on the scope, size and IP involved. I do remember it being much faster and easier a while back when I was working with a smaller organisation.

It's hard to switch back and forth between larger and smaller contexts, I guess the real point is that it's not always easy to see how hard/easy it is from the context where the problem is. Even een combination of occam's razor and hanlon's razor doesn't always give a direction on which to think or research.

Are you mostly referring to companies in a specific country, or multinationals?
See, here is my problem. The parent post claimed that blacks, specifically, face classes of problems that no other group does when attempting university and that this is problematic because it may exclude non-traditional routes to learning "ethics" which in turn may exclude them from software jobs.

My point of contention is that, in this day and age, these problems apply equally and to single out a race is wrong. I'm not debating the historical jackasseries of why various groups have arrived in disadvantaged positions, my contention is solely on casting modern socioeconomic barriers along racial lines.

For whatever reason, you have seized on this while simultaneously removing any and all context and are attempting to paint me as claiming blacks haven't suffered / whites have based on race relations. This was never even a part of the conversation but you keep placing "points" in my mouth that I never made and then debating them. You're derailing the conversation.
When using the technique, be sure to get confirmation in writing that the bill is paid in full.

I've used it twice before. Once the hospital offered to consider it paid in full if I paid my entire $500 copay at time of discharged (i.e. anything left after copay + insurance payment would be written off).

The second time, I was able to get a facility fee negotiated down from $5k to $1k. The $4k difference found it's way to debt collections and onto my credit report due to the way the payment was written down in the system, and it was hell getting it dealt with since I didn't have explicit confirmation that the $1k wasn't a partial payment on the full bill.
