Sales people often fly biz class because their customers are. I don't know if it is the same here, and overseas offices have different rules than Redmond (MS China we never got biz class even though many of us flew way more than N times a year on 12 hour flights).

Ultra click-baity title. The Y chromosome isn't going anywhere. This smells like a man-hating "toxic masculinity" argument wrapped up in the pseudoscience of one person's opinion.
I don't think it's "what users want" as much as it's "what makes the most money out of the things that we can convince users to want". And "what can we manipulate our engineers into believing about what they are building so that they won't protest".
I would never feel comfortable `fetch`-ing the URI provided by the API without validation. That sounds like a security issue waiting to happen.

This is good. They removed this at Palo Alto Unified School district because it doesn't have very many benefits. GPAs are already extremely high, and any title like 'valedictorian' would only incentivize an increase in already heavy coursework.

Do you all just not think about the long-term implications of what you're building? It's going to destroy the open WWW.

Web publishers (and other people who are paying attention) don't want AMP or Portals, but they are being strong-armed into it under threat of losing their traffic.

That's because big tech companies are the new IB/MC. You see the same types of behaviors there.
The energy cost and usable life of plastic bags versus long life ones like jute or cotton are decisively in favour of plastic on an environmental basis. Long life plastic bags are better than single use are better than cotton/jute/hemp/linen. The problem with single use bags is litter which just disappears with nominal taxes. They’re ugly as hell but paper and cotton use much more energy and water to produce a usable bag.

Glass and plastic containers reuse is a solved problem. Put a big deposit on containers and they’ll be reused.
Strong opinions loosely held is for leadership, but possibly not for polishing theory with colleagues on distributed computation.
I don’t mind using a link, but I’d prefer to have both the exact id and the link to avoid having to parse a link in an unreliable way to get the actual id.

It’s interesting how GraphQL changes the base point of the article concerning documentation/ease of api use.

In our GraphQL resolvers we typically add two fields, thing_id which resolves to the id string, and thing which resolves an object that you can drill into as desired.

I was starting to see a lot of GraphQL APIs only add “thing”, which meant you had to do a lot of queries like below just to get the id.

thing { id }
I don't doubt those differences, but as someone with a music background and an awareness of sound (and having seen others pick up accents and phonemes much less readily than myself), I still see so much we can't control for.

Maybe nobody has succeeded at getting adults as close as they can get to the infant state. How do we know the difference between adults being incapable of hearing phonemes similarly to infants versus failure to express to the adults what state they need to be in to listen? Obviously, most adults are filled with thoughts and cultural interpretations of any psychological study context and don't have the same open mind as an infant.

The differences are stark in practice between adult and infant learning and behavior. But what are the underlying factors that create the distinctions? I think we have very little practical capacity to tease them apart.
The Platonist idea that mathematical statements correspond to something "out there" in metaphysical space is a great example of an idea that's not falsifiable. However that's not an idea that I would consider part of mathematics.

you're concerned about "comments that perpetuate bullshit". To me, the real bullshit is that a computer drove 2 aircraft into the earth. If we're so mistaken about what happened here, maybe the boeing engineers are similarly mistaken about how flight control systems work. I think they're the ones who have "ignorance and misinformation", like how many AoA sensors are required. Or whether a vigorous elevator UP position from the stick should be ignored and in fact counteracted by an opposite stabilizer position. Tell me what perpetuates the arrogance in the software departments at boeing that the computer knows better than the human. Unlike the pilots, the computer has nothing to lose. Yet the computer won the final decision. But calling this out is just the "news cycle financially rewarding" ... something ?

That's very interesting as it shows an active pursuit of privacy above and beyond policing themselves, but also others in regard to themselves. I also found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View_privacy_con...
interesting, and thought the perspective from this quote "At a forum on privacy held in Berlin by the Green Party, a member of the audience asked whether future historians would blame the current generation for leaving German cities in digital ruins as bombs did the real landscape in World War II", to be one aspect many would overlook and equally a most elegant way of putting across a point that cuts thru the generation divides.

I suspect you are right about younger generations, but reading about an historical event and experiencing it are two different experiences. Whilst it is possible to learn from both, only one is a reinforced lesson.
Anecdote:

At my high school rankings (and thus valedictorian honors) were 100% gamed to the point that you wouldn’t even make it up to the top 10 if you didn’t plan for it since freshman year. And when I say plan for it, I don’t mean “go into high school wanting to do great.” I mean exploiting every single opportunity in the most unnatural and nonsensical way.

So everyone is familiar with a 4.0 GPA system, or at least most people in the US (for this not, 4.0 is the highest). At my high school, and basically all other high schools that I knew of from people I interacted with, classes marked as “honors” or “AP” classes were scaled to a 5.0 to reflect that these classes were harder or more advanced (physics AP vs regular physics). The rankings were determined based on some students having classes that awarded a 5.0 while most people had at most a 4.0 from them.

But wait, maybe that doesn't seem too unfair since it awards smarter and harder working people?

- So we had a fluffy extracurricular optional class called "yearbook" which are the people who spend the year "designing" the yearbook. For whatever reason, this was graded on a 5.0 scale.

- All students on sports teams were required to take a bullshit course that graded on a 5.0. We all suspected it was to give student athletes a better ranking if they weren't also honors students.

- Anyone in the student government was also placed in a special class, also graded on a 5.0.

- If you enrolled for a class at the local community college it would be added to your GPA, also based on a 5.0. You had to pay for these classes of course, so it's already pay to win to start. They also didn't bat an eye at say "Jorge Ramirez" taking Spanish 101 just for the extra 5.0 added to their average.

Then, you add in all the cheating. Lol if you think it's not rampant and widespread. You take the "smartest kids" and put them in a class and what do you expect? Why read the books they assign in literature, when someone's brother just took the class with the same teacher, and can just give us (or a select group of us, meaning you need to be "in" with the crowd otherwise you're the only one not cheating and you're at a disadvantage) all the material from last year? Why bother studying for a physics test, when you can just "be sick" on the day of the test, ask a buddy about the test and then remember exactly what they told you to remember?

There are so many more examples but the point is:

GPA rankings and honors like valedictorian meant absolutely nothing. Granted, i was bitter at the time because I didn't game the system by signing up for fucking yearbook making every year since freshman year or had parents able to afford paying for 5.0 grades for me at the community college.

Why should people be guaranteed employment if they don't offer skills employers want? Out of kindness?

If you own a business, would you like to be forced to hire someone because the government says you have to? If you pay taxes, would you like them to go to otherwise unproductive people just because those people feel they should have jobs?

The competitive nature of the work world is necessary to keep people motivated to strive to do better and to make them adjust to the needs of today's market. Otherwise, we'd still be paying telegraph operators. We can't all put stairs on Morrow Rock or join the Peace Corp. Someone has to do work that provides value, not just a handout.
I remember the first time I saw a mouse, (I think it was an amiga 500), I clicked the button and nothing happened. I remember thinking how does that work, eventually I found out :-).

I didn't downvote. It was a flippant comment and I am sure they are highly competent. Its just more normal for the algo selection process to winnow out the ones with simple holes, and the authors of this paper say their technique was both simple and fast, which I would have expected to be found sooner.
It would have helped some to keep this quiet.

The Stasi would have still found out that he fled the republic as long as he entered in West Germany under his real name. His girlfriend would still have been interrogated etc, perhaps a little less since it would have been easier to feign unawareness with her boyfriend just disappearing out of the blue.

The real beneficiaries would have been the students helping him and the teachers. They would have been able to travel to the GDR (to see their friends/family) since they likely wouldn’t have been connected to the escape.

The bravery the girls displayed was for defying the East German dictatorship. It could have ended much worse for them had they been found out before crossing the border. They did put their fellow students and teachers at risk, no doubt. But after the fact it seems pointless to punish them for helping a fellow human being escape dictatorship. Aside from maybe discouraging future travelers from such actions.

I too have a 3 year old, and we've been in the habit since he was 1 of me just feeding him lots of possible sentences to say to express what he might be wanting to say. If I get it close, he repeats verbatim. If it's not what he wants, he rejects it or twists it to closer to what he wants.

And yeah, probably a decent portion of infant emotion is on not being able to communicate. Those who learn infant sign language have a better time. Being able to sign "I want the water, not more food" versus being unable to communicate is a massive difference.

Adults get used to this sort of feeling of incompetence if they embrace always learning new skills. They can even get skilled at accepting it without frustration. But tons of adults avoid these things and basically stop learning entirely new skills and don't understand the value of accepting child-like novice learning.

I, for one, get pretty antsy doing anything I'm good at already. I'm only ever interested in stuff where I feel there's some challenge to work on and something new to learn.
That's definitely fair, and warrented. We haven't really had the resources for (relatively) long to put into performance when we were still in early stages. However we've constantly been improving that, to the point where I truly doubt you'd find that we suffer disproportionately from performance issues more than any competitor.

Before I worked here, I was on a team that evaluated different devops tools, and I felt the same apprehension about the uptime.

Well no. But it is how you want to conduct public oversight of agencies which claim to operate on your behalf: you want to be able to believe them. But in crypto, it pays to believe nothing and check everything, which implies competent people able to check outside the walls. Which I guess, is what is happening, but I would be interested in the NSA response since they are after all, a public agency.
This really is the most important thing to get from all of this. In an editor the users can see any bad outcomes and correct them. In, say, a database system, bad outcomes can be much more problematic.

what I think should be done is require waste management companies to sort the plastics, glass, and metal in different locations in the landfill. however they do this is up to them (obviously it's ripe for automation). Then, at a future date, if it makes sense to recycle plastic, someone could dig up the landfill where thousands of tons of plastic is stored. same for glass, etc. this would not require a second set of trucks to drive down the street and release CO2 so we can all do the job that should be the responsibility of a corporation whose service we're paying for.

as a bonus, if enough of the organic material was in one place, it may be easier to harvest the methane given off (which they already do, but would be more concentrated if a considerable portion of non-biomass were separated).
Ah, so you can keep carry on baggage, you just want to reduce the allowance.
I quit my job at a startup after a little over a year because I was burned out. I took off a little over a year before getting another job. In the time off, I worked on some of my own projects, I played music, I hung out with friends, went on walks, spent time with family.

> The thing is this job pays incredibly well

So? What does that actually do for you if you're unhappy? You're getting paid in money, and money translates into wealth, i.e. things that you want. But only if you spend it. What are you even bothering earning all that money for, if you're going to spend your life being miserable? You have no house, no kids, no responsibilities, a simple lifestyle — do you want to spend this time in your life in a job that is burning you out and making you miserable?

edit: As for not feeling like shit about quitting — I don't know what will work for you (I didn't have this problem when I quit; I didn't feel a moment's regret), but you might for example set yourself some amount of time (2 months? whatever) during which you are explicitly permitted to be self-indulgent and relax, and after which you tell yourself you will sit down and plan for what comes next, whether that's looking for work or donating to charity or starting some project or helping others or whatever.
What’s interesting is a lot of new IoT devices operate or can fallback to a mesh or gateway mode configuration, for example, a group of common sensors that work together. So you’d potentially need to block Bluetooth, ZigBee, WiFi, LTE/GSM, GPS (messaging over GPS) and others to account for different radio technologies.

I just don't understand why mixing two different concepts at two different abstraction levels only for some, apparent, simplicity.

On one level we got ID unique identifier of a resource, on another level we have URL, how to get a specific resources.

They are just different things that shouldn't be mixed.

What if tomorrow I want to get the same resource via graphql? Or in a message bus?
Unlike these jobs, your youth and health won’t always be there. Figure out what you would regret least and do that. I just resigned from my job, with only 10k in savings, to pursue something that I find extremely compelling.

> There is an energy saving component to recycling. Aluminum for example takes a tremendous amount of power to produce and recycling reduces that.

It's also basically one of the only things you will get paid for recycling (copper being the other notable exception; scrap steel is mostly worthless unless you have a ton of it).

No one wants to pay you for used plastic or paper. That alone should tell us all about the economics of recycling.
Especially for a company like Apple, I think it should be less about having empathy and more about having the resources to gather bug reports and track them down.

Large beta pools and other feedback mechanisms could credibly get reports like "Siri doesn't work for me" to come in. Then you have to have people to trace those down. Really? It works for me? What are the recent queries on this account? Ohhh, he's just saying hello back, then the exchange ends and Siri misses his question. How many other people have this pattern? Can we get a fix so, if the user replies with a greeting the conversation stays open?

Having people getting and tracking down reports from customers will cause your organization to develop something that's a lot like empathy. You'll learn what customers have problems with and fix them.
These are your customers: talk at them or talk with them?

I think the ignorance comes from living in a bubble. It's hard to notice the bubble when you're inside of it, and programmers get manipulated too.

I loved working through Ken Iverson's, the creator of APL, books in J: "Calculus", "Algebra", and the "Concrete Math Companion" (a companion Knuth and Patashnik's book "Concrete Math" in J)[1].

I also like the Physics and Math in SICM (Structure and Interptretation of Classical Mechanics), and Scheme maps well to math equations, at least for me [2].

Julia does follow the way math is written, but I prefer Haskell. The book "The Haskell Road to Logic, Math and Programming" [3] is great, and this article on Geometric Algebra (GA) in Haskell is excellent [4].

I don’t think the original Twitter post was irrational at all.

This just provides a big of speculation as to the cause. It’s probably right, still speculation.

And it doesn’t matter who is at fault to the end consumer. If I was working on a project and Adobe suddenly told me that I had to upgrade because the version of Premiere I was using was “illegal” then I would be pissed off. Luckily I’m in between projects at work so this won’t hurt me too much.

Garbage disposal is also funded by taxes. Whatever, fewer dollars are spent on both garbage and recycling combined than are lost in the margins of military spending. If you really cared about taxes at all, you’d know recycling is irrelevant.

Maybe we haven't been aware of adults' ability to learn so well because our society demands a narrow system whereby (and this is a simplification to make a point) kids only have one shot to master one specialisation when they grow up, and then they have to stick at it for the rest of their life or else risk economic vulnerability.

I know you can have a second career (and master it over many subsequent years), but the structure of society does make it hard for a full-time working parent of five to suddenly stop earning income for a while go back to school (or study with a master). So the data on this could be low due to that.

You're confusing instruction-set architecture with micro-architecture.

The x86-64 ISA defines 16 integer ("logical") registers, for example, however, Skylake has (don't quote me on the figure) 168 physical integer registers. For register renaming to work, you need more physical registers than logical registers because the logical registers need to be mapped to some physical registers, possibly multiple times (e.g. for speculation).
