UCLA Library | Development Support Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | Onsite | Full-time Career

We're hiring at the UCLA Library. Our team is accepting application for a Development Support Engineer position.

We call our Linux Operations Engineering team - Development Support. We do this because it embodies who we are as individuals and the relationships we cultivate with our colleagues. Our mission is to embrace DevOps as a culture, rather than a job description. The focal point of our efforts is to support the Library’s software development projects by enabling our developer teammates to use the tools, infrastructure, procedures, and workflows to get the job done with as few hindrances as possible. Within our team, no one throws tasks or responsibilities over a wall. The phrase, “That’s not my job”, doesn’t exist here. We understand that DevOps is everyone’s job. We support one another and don’t point fingers of blame.

If this resonates with you, and sounds like an environment you’d like to be a part of, please consider taking a look at our job posting: https://ucla.in/2IGcURR
The outcome can only be as good as the sum of its part. The best methodology with the worst people will still result in a poor outcome. The best people with the worst methodology might still manage do deliver something useful. The best outcomes come from trusting good people do what they're good at. Why trust a manager over an engineer?

Mobile friendly quote:

> This picture was taken during DOOM development in 1993. Tom's busy working on a map in my map editor, DoomEd, but don't worry - you won't be able to make out anything on the screen! Tom started many of the original DOOM maps and after he left, Sandy Petersen finished them -- some of the maps had very little work done to them, in fact.

> On Tom's monitor is a little printout that says, "Quality". He always has notes stuck to his monitor to keep him reminded of .... things. That orange thing could very well be the very first keyboard wrist pad -- made by a friend of his back before you saw them in stores. The speaker at the far right is one of the first Altec Lansing clamshell models. The microphone in front of Tom was there for NeXTSTEP's awesome email feature - built-in voice emails! We always sent them back and forth... I think I might have some of them lying around here...
Almost all of the robocalls I get come through my Google Voice number, not my real phone number, so I have zero faith in Google's ability to recognize voice call spam.

(What's really amazing, is I could block all of them with a single manual rule, but Google Voice doesn't allow you to do anything like that. In my case, my Voice area code is not local: All spoofed robocalls use the area code of my Voice number, all legitimate calls do not. A normal human can see this plainly, Google's spam detection is unable to understand this.)
I updated the question text. Thanks.
ICs are generally small and light - they would be among the last things to make in space. I expect we would start with metals: steel is very important for building, and you need a lot of it, so making that in space gets the rocket equation strongly on your side. Rocket fuel is another one because you can cheat the rocket equation if you don't have to bring all your fuel with you. As manufacturing and space cities progress more and more industry will be brought local.

I expect the main reason to target ICs is so you can deal with loss of earth type disasters. This depends of course, if zero-g is an advantage for making ICs production will move quickly. If space needs a lot of things that ICs are a byproduct of they might do it, for example a lot of solar panels would be needed in space, if there is an easy change to make ICs on the same lines of course they do it. Of course my knowledge of IC manufacturing limited, my guess is the above doesn't apply but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong.
A-class malls are still doing well. The mall you're referring to in Bellevue, where I have also been, is a class-A mall.

Class-A malls tend to be in busier, higher wealth, sometimes more urban areas, have best in class furnishings, and have tier-1 national tenants, with many of those tenants catering to more of a premium/luxury consumer.

Most B-class or C-class malls, however, are dying.

To be fair, a company doesn't need to be doing a scam to fall outside the expected budget. There are many causes for budget fluctuation, for example: Inflation rates, wage changes, cost of materials, disruptions, operational errors, overtime, change requests, etc. Besides, it may not necessarily be a scam in some cases since all parties expect the cost to increase, it becomes a matter of how much of variance is acceptable to stakeholders.

Another problem in public policy is that a lot of major infrastructure/work would never be implemented if the public knew the end price tag at the start.

> unjustified physical or mental injury

I don't subscribe to "mental injury" as a quantifiable or philosophical harm. There is no way to protect against interpretation or experience, that necessitates increasingly complex and ineffective measures to adapt to subjective and possibly aberrant, mental states. This will always devolve into a discussion of normality, which is immoral at the core.

This perhaps, can be salvaged. I would not agree to this as-is. How anyone measures competence is too open, given the state of software development.

> During detention, both were subject to extensive questioning by prosecutors without an attorney present. Videotapes of Ghosn’s questioning — a new feature added in the Criminal Procedure Reform law in 2016 in direct response to documented abuses — were made available to his attorneys who were present at the detention center, but lawyers were not permitted in the room where questioning took place.

> The system must change.

> First, every suspect should have the right to consult a lawyer as soon as the case is in the hands of prosecutors, and questioning should be prohibited in the absence of an attorney.

The article makes no attempt whatsoever to explain why the above change "must" be made. I'm on the fence on this matter, but the article just sounds like a sanctimonious scolding of Japan for not doing what other Western countries are doing.

"We're all doing it, so you better do it too" isn't a particularly compelling argument. In fact, given how much more effective their criminal Justice system is compared to America's, I would err on the side of keeping up their good work.
Why are you citing a popular science writer who is a psychologist? Who would bother to refute his numbers in the first place, when he's clearly not a primary source on them?

And that is only a secondary critique. Why should changing diets be mutually exclusive to other approaches? That seems like a false choice.
In their post they are contrasting personal ethics vs professional standards (which would pertain to how work is done, I would say).

A code of professional standards could say, for example, You have to keep clear notes for decisions made for each revision for a period of 5 years. A list of compilers that a serious "Software Engineer" will use. Establishing norms that might improve the overall quality of work done.

To some degree, I think a code like that one is really a kind of personal marketing or branding or something.
Only federal crimes though, so if a state picked up any charges against him the president can't do much about it.
Edit: I just realized that the nearly 100% conviction rate is only for those who go to trial. A third of the people who are detained are released without trial. So ignore this post: my main assumption (that arrest is similar to conviction) was incorrect.

---

Maybe one way to think of the Japanese justice system is that the trial happens before the defendant is arrested. After all, the conviction rate is nearly 100%, so in some sense the actual trial is just a formality. From that perspective, it's not surprising that defendants may be detained without bail for weeks: the system treats them as if they are already convicted.

It seems to me that with such a system, it's far too easy to convict an innocent person: after all, the decision is made by prosecutors, who are usually incentivized to err on the side of conviction (both by career pressures and by personal predisposition).

Do we know whether Japan has a really high false conviction rate? It's probably very hard to answer, since it's unclear how anyone could collect such statistics.

If it turns out that false convictions are rare in Japan, it may imply the prosecutors are actually trying to discover the truth rather than convict. Which would be a very interesting deviation from any other justice system I know of.

Excerpt from a book I'm writing:

---

Life is experiencing an abrupt, widespread global species extinction event. Humans are destroying intricate webs of animals, plants, and microorganisms. These networks supply our food chain and sustain life on Earth; their annihilation from rapid deforestation and climate change is causing grave consequences: droughts, increased heat waves and wildfires, more frequent severe weather events, coastal flooding, food shortages, and water wars.

Earth’s atmosphere was once mostly carbon dioxide. Once life took hold, simple organisms (such as bacteria, algae, and plants) converted atmospheric carbon dioxide into oxygen by way of photosynthesis. When those organisms died, natural processes spanning eons changed their remains into carbon-bearing fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas.

Burning fossil fuels recombines carbon with oxygen to make carbon dioxide (CO2). Since the mid-1800s humans have released a stupendous amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. In the following graph, average annual atmospheric CO2 measurements in parts per million (PPM) are plotted alongside averaged global ocean and surface temperature readings in degrees Celsius (°C), relative to 1881-1910:

https://i.imgur.com/zNuwtnP.png

Both atmospheric CO2 and temperature are increasing at an exponential rate, in lock-step.

Bubbles in ice cores drilled from polar glaciers trap historic atmospheric gas ratios. Long-term observations reveal an increasing average warming trend that is distinct from natural short-term fluctuations. Temperatures are climbing in proportion to the total amount of atmospheric CO2 added since the Industrial Revolution.

Choices

Our past choices have put life on Earth in peril; our children face an immense CO2 cleanup, devastating climate changes, or both. We can curtail the most severe catastrophic outcomes, though time to do so grows alarmingly thin.

If we choose air conditioner and refrigerator coolants based on hydrocarbon refrigerants; if we urge politicians to invest in on-shore wind turbines; if we reduce food waste; if we eat less meat; and if we support restoration of tropical forests. If we choose these, there is hope.
