Yes and we are talking about Apple which has 245 billion dollars cash on hand yet is paying workers $272 / month. Where we can hardly blame workers for what China is doing, we definitely can hold Apple to account for what it's doing. This is the sort of shit Marx was referring to as ripping the workers off surplus value in the beginning of the industrial age. Socially conscious my ass.
Yeah, but until we have those results, caution is warranted. That we should stop replicating studies was never implied.

Turns out you're right. I can't edit the post as the time has passed.

I've actually just never taken holiday from an hourly job, since it wouldn't have made sense at the time (if I were aware I would have probably tried to fill the time with more work.. )

I assume then that I should have been paid in my final pay. Ten years back now, I've been contracting or salaried since.
I’m confused as to the difference.

No snark intended.

I’m likely missing something.
Note that similar issues were raised with Ruby stdlib, which is being addressed in part with “Gemification” of stdlib, so that all of stdlib (targeted for 3.0, though it's been going on since 2.4)[0] is being moved out to externally-updatable packages that are included by default (default and bundled gems), so that it is still “batteries included” but the batteries are at least replaceable.

Amber's suggestion seems to be in the same direction (though perhaps not as extreme.)

Tim Cook is the architect of the Apple supply chain, and that's why he is the CEO instead of a product person. He is not innocent and has to have read the Foxconn job requirements of age between 16 and 40, ninth-grade diploma, no Tibetan and Uygur ethnicities. He knows what he is doing, and blaming just the board is a cop-out.

If you're looking for a catch, I guess the issue is that the modeling domain is relatively simple, restricted to "mathematical models", i.e. no conditional-based control flow like while loops. Like systems like Jax, for loops are supported by simply unrolling the expression into something without control flow. This lets the resulting IR be relatively simple and then all of the math is easy to define, but of course means the domain for this is "math" and not "programs". That said, it's still large enough for things like Modelica models, which is a large enough domain for a lot of the algorithms I want to explore like automatic index reduction of DAEs.
Average salaries can be very deceptive especially in developing nations. The real question is what someone with minimal skills or education can make in the area.

Independently of condemning what the politician said the media tries to ignore that some “external power” directly orchestrates not only the compromise of the political party but also by carefully selected timing the outcomes of the political life in one european country and even more, in whole Europe.

> And the web fixed these issues, one by one, on one end by being simplified by generations and generations of technologists, and on the other end by adding actual real world uses like making shopping easy.

All of this can happen with "Indie" Social Media too.

We had telephones and fax machines, which many people were happy with. Just as an example: Things like Internet Chat were seen as toys by the grown-ups and few people had the foresight that 25 years later people will spend more time sending messages than they spend on the phone.

The so called "Indie" Social Media could have benefits that will kill traditional Social Media one day - or maybe there are good reasons this will never happen. Not practical, hard to use and not having a real use case are no good reasons. They just apply to any new technology in the early stages.

> The past is a foreign country. Web of the ‘90s has almost no likeness to the web we have today. Had it stayed like that, we’d still be faxing things around.

Agreed. Same applies for "Indie" Social Media.

Statistically speaking, yes, if your compensation model pays commensurate with risk. But I'm not sure I see how that's relevant to the discussion at hand.

You started by saying that the claim that police officers risk their lives is statistically inaccurate, with a citation. I countered that citation with one of my own and a calculation showing they do risk their lives. Now you are talking about garbage collectors and their exposure to risk being greater than that of police officers.

That doesn't really counter my point about police officers' lives being exposed to risk, because I never made a claim that police officers are exposed to more risk than garbage collectors. Likewise I'm not forwarding a normative point about whether or not people should be paid commensurate with the amount of risk they encounter in their professional work. I am making the narrow, positive point which is that, objectively speaking, police officers are exposed to risk (and this is borne out by statistics).

I'm not in a position to make a normative claim about whether or not (or how much, in an absolute sense) we should compensate people more for risking their lives. I'm not sure if you were expecting me to say that garbage collectors shouldn't be paid more than police officers in hazard pay. But if we are assuming a system that pays commensurate with risk, then I'm happy to agree it would be internally consistent to pay garbage collectors more than police officers in hazard pay, sure.
I'm likewise skeptical. I've done a number of projects for Boeing, and their engineers are some of the most cautious and careful customers I have ever had. Automotive tier-one customers need it done on time and under budget, no matter the shortcuts required to make that happen, but if the junior janitor at Boeing sees something he feels is maybe suboptimal we'll halt the project and fully study the concern. I keep my schedule clear for 2 months after an aerospace project is supposed to be done, because it probably won't be, and it will be better for it.

I just can't square these experiences with this news. Perhaps design and manufacturing are more siloed than I understand, or perhaps there really is an MBA culture running requirements and certification separate from the engineering of the physical components, but in my personal experience Boeing isn't a place that cuts corners.

The way I would approach it (based on mechantronics I have done for robots) is to back up the control wheel with an encoded motor. (Position/rotation encoder on the tail shaft.) The encoder will give you wheel position, the motor allows you to apply arbitrary torque to the wheel to simulate the feedback forces felt by the pilot. Typically, that would be done by measuring motor current and writing a control loop that controlled for target wheel position (based on encoder) and target maximum motor current (as a proxy for torque). Then the simulator would give out the simulated results of wheel position and torque, which the control loop would attempt to follow with its control law.

Or you just buy a COTS servo that does all that for you. Just saying, hardly a need to reinvent these particular wheels...

> health

The US is off the charts in terms of health costs compared to other industrialized countries, and big business has arranged it so it is the only industrialized country with people not under health coverage.

> 401k

US Workers used to have guaranteed pensions, the 401k was a backward step, not some new benefit

Plus the fact that Google workers have all these things, and some other workers may have some if these things doesn't modify that wages have fallen.

The US has skyrocketing health care compared to everyone else, with some unconvered unlike every other industrialized countries, and guaranteed pensions no longer exist - not great arguments for an improvement.

People are not stupid, they know things are not better, despite think tank commissars trying to present ways that they are.
i really like the corkscrew stairs! we (in california) have many outdoor cats too. disneyland has a hidden phalanx of them for mousing purposes... oh, the irony!

however i keep mine strictly indoors for peace of mind. to satiate that desire to climb and to combat ennui, i built simple cat shelves/stairs onto the wall of my spartment using hand-sawn boards and metal brackets screwed into the studs. there are 2 paths up and down and around the corner that gives them a way to relieve the zoomies when they strike. my older cat uses them to sun near the window, while the kitten both runs and sleeps on them (and other untold mischief).

It's surprising that they don't have enough workers and are still racist.
18 is quite close to 10, in an absolute sense. The context of that citation is a claim that it's statistically inaccurate to say police officers risk their lives. That claim is demonstrably not borne out by statistics. Out of the universe of available professional work, being a police officer is #18 in risk. It's a rather small consolation that they're not eight jobs higher up the chain in terms of risk, considering there is essentially no chance of e.g. my monitor killing me as I sit at my desk.

A valid takeaway from the cited list is that being a police officer isn't literally the most dangerous thing you can do for work. An invalid takeaway is that being a police officer isn't dangerous.
The Death of Superman
It's archaic and should be changed, but the way the system works in the U.S. is pretty well known to its citizens, which makes it at least partially the fault of the pensioners. I live in Chicago and every retired schoolteacher and police officer I meet knows full well that they're making an exceptional amount of money in retirement. It's usually part of why they took the job.
> Foxconn is known for its high staff turnover, largely because of the low monthly salary of 2,100 yuan per month (US$313) in Zhengzhou. By comparison, the average salary in the city of Zhengzhou in 2018 was 6,929 yuan (US$1,035) per month.

The Python standard library has been a huge help for me. Evaluating which third party packages to trust and handling updates is a hassle. (Would love a solution for this. Does anyone have a curated version of PyPI?) I’m surprised that people want to slim it down other than for performance on a more constrained system.

As an aside, why doesn’t the Python standard library extend/replace features with code from successful packages like Requests? Tried it and it didn’t work? Too much bloat? Already got too much on the to-do list?
as long as you're interpolating, it should do just fine.

if you're extrapolating, it'll depend on whether you've assumed the right boundary conditions, but that's true for any model
"If not to buy Apple, what’s the substitute – Samsung? Don’t you know that Samsung’s products are from its OEM factory in Tianjin? Samsung workers’ income and benefits are even worse than those at Foxconn. If not to buy iPad – (do you think) I will buy Android Pad? Have you ever been to the OEM factories for Lenovo and ASUS? Quanta, Compaq … factories of other companies are all worse than those for Apple. Not to buy iPod – (do you think) I will buy Aigo, Meizu? Do you know that Aigo’s Shenzhen factory will not pay their workers until the 19th of the second month? If you were to quit, fine, I’m sorry, your salary will be withdrawn. Foxconn never dares to do such things. First, their profit margin is higher than peers as they manufacture for Apple. Second, at least those foreign devils will regularly audit factories. Domestic brands will never care if workers live or die. I am not speaking for Foxconn. I am just speaking as an insider of this industry, and telling you some disturbing truth"

Again, I don't point this out because I think the conditions are OK. I simply point this out to provide context and relativity to the situation. Do you really think Apple is responsible for fixing China's problems? I don't think so. But they DO take responsibility and have made strides in improving conditions for workers that work on their products. And that, I can appreciate.
Entirely wrong : that's not Apple doing that, and, having spent years as an engineer at Apple, it's a huge priority to be ethical and good. i'm serious.

Why not move elsewhere? The only factories able to produce the required volumes are, by virtue of great planning by China, there, and perform work on a contract basis for many companies, Apple included, Dell, and so on.

She mentioned http.client vs requests, datetime vs. moments etc, which are also quite correct to me. How about the cgilibs? Or pickle? Or the collections? Or unittest? Stay or go?

Lastly, the title of the talk can be tempered a bit. No? We all know what a leaking battery mean right? Toxic.
That book seems quite highly recommended but I remember glancing through it and even the US edition had lots of seemingly random but consistent capitalisation errors in the code examples, like someone had autocorrect/autoformat turned on throughout, which IMHO is enough to make me not recommend it --- it's already hard enough for a beginner to use correct code, nevermind code with such errors.

In Illinois and Chicago, the government has been playing games like declaring pension holidays where the contributions shift to the future. The unions control a large base of voters and haven't objected, even though this basically endangers their retirements. There's going to be a point where the funds will literally run out of money, and I doubt that there will be enough things to tax in a year to make up the difference that should have been paid in over decades.
I realize it's a complicated subject, but if ethics was as high a priority as you were saying why wouldn't they simply move those jobs somewhere else with lower margins?

EDIT: Since you edited your comment instead of responding to mine, yes China is the only country that can currently support Apple's manufacturing needs. But if Apple actually felt it was unethical to work with China for whatever reason they could begin the process to have factories set up elsewhere, even in the United States or Mexico, within a few years. It would obviously impact their profit margins, but you are arguing that ethics is a "huge priority" while providing nothing substantive to back up that claim.
Procedural specialities will always need an extreme amount of hours spent honing their skills. Considering that your experience is the basis for a good outcome for your future patients when you are solely responsible, you know that the more you work the better off you'll be.

The procedural specialities operate on a hierarchy that emphasizes underlings doing most of the grunt work while senior residents can be all day in the operating room. There's likely a better way to do it, but this is how it has been done for decades and just won't change.
> business teams who generate business-critical Excel sheets never got the memo about good ideas from the software development lifecycle. And have been cobbling together undocumented tools to get work done for decades.

So, business teams invented the all-too-common version of agile development even before “real” software developers, without the disadvantage of ignorance of the body of knowledge around the SDLC, got around to it.
It is more about permissive attitudes towards allowing these structures to come up on a communal property and not having strict or anal regulations around aesthetics.
Actually I believe Windows 2000 had support for language packs (MUI if I remember correctly). You _had_ to start with an en-US install to use those, so the bit about different language versions installing different files was still correct. Components for CJK support was a check box in the Language & Region control panel, which required the Windows install disc to apply.

I think the language packs might not have been available in all SKUs; not very sure about that part. The CJK support, I think, was.

The default system locale thing (MBCS) was a separate issue.

The correct question is: Why should they use Linux? Historically, Linux struggled to display video.

The companies that make that stuff started out with Windows, they have built a workflow to manage these devices on top of Windows, why switch now? It's not cost effective.
Might not answer you exact question, but I interned with the display team in Windows - they had loads of weird asks for interesting display topologies (and adapter modes) to be supported for media displays.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen anything like that on LKML.

That's why they still hire humans. If the above statement wasn't true, they would be replaced with a robotic system.

Your idea is normally implemented as football scoring (so 0 points for a loss, 1 point for a draw, 3 points for a win). It has been tried (with limited success if I remember correctly) in top tournament chess. On mobile and reluctant to try and track down the details of when and where.
My experience on the Fediverse is actually directly opposite yours: there is a whole host of explicitly right-wing instances to the point where a lot of other instances filter them out through blocklists. It it also my experience that a good deal of Mastodon instances tend to be left-leaning (as a result of per-instance rules/moderation practices) and a good deal of Pleroma instances the opposite. Of course there are exceptions here, but it's really not hard to find right-wing instances on the Fediverse. In fact, to find them you only need to browse popular blocklists[0]. There is nothing preventing you from signing up to one of those, though I think it's fair that I warn you that they're not the kind of instances you'd want to spend much time on for your own sanity.

Disclaimer: I'm sympathetic to a lot of the "leaning to the left" practices you name, such as calling people out and the issue of complicity by voting to maintain the status-quo.
