> In this instance I don't want to hire an alphabet soup programmer who will move on to the next company as fast as the next resume update allows. If it's a side effect of kicking ass on a variety of projects, broad experience is a nice-to-have, but I need someone who will hang around long enough to internalize and take responsibility for business goals.

I'll start with dev incentives and why it explains their behavior. Now one thing that is fairly common is internal raises are relatively much smaller when compared to market for jr. devs than sr. ones. This incentivizes most young/jr devs to switch jobs fairly often to get market pay raises(which are very substantial for young devs and usually much larger than internal raises, I quadrupled my salary in my first 3 years of working). To do this they need to build up technical expertise as quickly as possible because this is what the next job is looking for. And there really isn't any incentive to build up domain knowledge that will become useless the first time they switch jobs.

Senior/older devs for instance are usually on the opposite end where the pay raise for switching jobs is relative lower compared to internal raises. They are usually at a point where job security is more important because they fear being a hard to hire greybeard. They're already close to maxing out as a single contributor(and a lot of time if they wanted to move to management/tech leadership they would have already). And for them to pursue their goals of job security and maxing out pay by being valuable to one company as opposed to many companies they'll pursue and acquire lots of domain knowledge.

So I think you have two options. Hire an expensive older/sr. dev and convince them that the company would be a great place to spend the next 5-10 years. Or hire a younger dev and explain how it would be very beneficial for them to make a career there, talk about how much your company values domain knowledge and internalizing business goals. And then explain that you are willing to pay very handsomely for that and match what are the absolutely nuts pay bumps that go to jr. devs when they switch jobs.

*Note I'm generalizing like crazy and I don't think this is true in every case. I've met plenty of older devs who were fascinated by new tech and had little interest in domain knowledge and vice versa. But I think as a general rule it holds, and it holds for myself. When I first started I always got really excited about new tech and building out things the "right" way. Now 10 years in meeting business deadlines/goals and learning deep domain knowledge so the application really shines excites me more than learning Yet Another Framework.
And I'm the opposite. I return the car empty every time, because the cost of "finding a gas station" when you're in a hurry to catch a flight isn't worth the extra $X they charge for the service to fill it. Choices are great!

Unless you hold some capital, you are paid according to how much your work is valued and how much of it can be supplied, not how hard your work is. They are unskilled in the sense that many other people can perform their job after some training. In aggregate the work of farming is highly valuable, but many individuals who partake in such work aren't specifically so and can be replaced easily even if their work is in fact difficult in itself.

An established rapper could be paid millions for a single mumbled line on a single song but that happens because he can export his value to millions of people who have in interest in it, whereas the ditch-digger can only rely on his labor and what it can provide in his current location.

You say hardly anyone cares, but are you willing to pay extra for the items and services that are produced by farmers and other workers? Perhaps you are, but in reality that is the stopping block that makes people stop caring, and it does have a certain cold logic to it.
That is brilliant, I taught mine to say rock/paper/scissors then swapped hands to see how will it did.

Yes, it can be done with a lot of care, but perhaps needing more care than a "real" CRUD application would need. Data normalization, ACID (transaction integrity), indexes, server-side validation, roles (user access levels), etc. take more effort to put into a spreadsheet (or add work-arounds for) than a regular CRUD stack (such as LAMP).

They are great for small projects and prototyping, but just don't scale well unless you want to pay for expensive babysitting.

Note a good CRUD app allows exporting of data to Excel for searching or experimenting with budget scenarios etc., but the "original" data should be in a real database.
Breaking up companies can be a mechanism to enforce openness. For instance, the proposal to separate Microsoft's application business from their OS business (in the late 90s) was in reaction to them giving their own apps special treatment in their OS, so their apps ran better than third party apps. By separating the two business units into separate companies, they would lose the incentive to do stuff like that.

Separating Android and Chrome from Google Search would limit the obvious temptation for abusing their browser business to help their advertising business. Google has (so far) shown pretty good restraint in their tactics compared to what would be technically possible, but the incentives are massive and might be hard to resist when times get tough.

Enforcing openness in the face of massive incentives to the contrary requires prompt and wise government oversight, which is hard to achieve. The range of subtle tricks that platform companies can pull to slightly break their competitors software is beyond the ability of regulators to control.
a 1 bed 1 bath is going to cost 300k+ to construct at density

This is a problem that can be worked on that will benefit everyone across the income spectrum. No way we should be stuck with $~7500 per square foot construction costs (assuming a small 1 bed 1 bath would be 400sqft).
> However, I think the SQL language as an interface primarily for relation databases is a great language.

I think the email is consistent for each app, so there should only be a problem if the user wants to change their email, right? Plus, apps would have to opt-in to support this.
My point is: you’re confusing catastrophe with recession.

In a food supply halting catastrophe we’ve got problems, catastrophic problems.

A recession that hits any significant portion of the population will have political-will to find alternative outcomes, and probably won’t happen with the rapidity catastrophes are usually associated with. Eg. food aid, wealth redistribution, easy / no-interest credit, government jobs.

I’m not saying any and every political outcome won’t result in a catastrophe, but every food halting catastrophe is, by definition, a massive catastrophe.

You may have a wider point though: just in time manufacturing / delivery in the food industry means probably most of the world is a few meals away from panic.

I've been using Fi for 3 years. CS has always been hit-or-miss in my experience, but it has gotten worse now that there are a lot more subscribers (thanks to iPhone support and the massive Pixel 3 promo they did last year). They tend to send a lot more generic non-answers, never call back during your call back period (or call at some random hour like 4:30 AM), or just don't even respond at all anymore.

Like many companies, if you keep calling you'll eventually get someone awesome who can pull strings. But it's frustrating.

I've had the experience twice of phones getting lost on the way to me. They would insist on running an "investigation" that could last weeks or never resolve, before they would send a new device. In both cases, I had to be pretty pushy with the agent that the phone either fell off the truck or someone at FedEx stole it. Usually I needed a new phone ASAP due to a failure.

Don't get me wrong, Fi is awesome, especially for international travel. Just show up at the airport and you've got service. The data rate structure is totally fair for how I use it. But there are definitely benefits to having a local Apple Store or Best Buy with a compatible phone in stock.

The unreserved message definitely used to scroll without any mention of future reservations. Perhaps they've updated them or perhaps it varies by region.
Currently they mention that they collect "aggregated, non-personally identifying information ... about how our users, collectively, use GitHub", which is perfectly reasonable for a corporation providing services which many users consume at no cost. But if GH was under foundation control it would be nice if that same data were kept private.
How long until those sites cease to exist?
Sure, they really could. But for me, it could be a reason to pick Lyft over Uber for example. I hope they add support to the App Store description, that would really help filter apps.

No novice diver is going to remain at depth in an out-of-air situation, under any circumstances. The point of training the CESA is to teach people not to hold their breath and hurt themselves when they panic and bolt for the surface. This panic reflex is so strong that it takes dozens of hours of training and practice to be able to signal a buddy and breathe off their air supply in a real emergency situation.

You can see this reality reflected in the rescue diver certification (a fairly advanced level of training), which revolves around how to stop people bolting for the surface when they have trouble getting air. Rescue divers are taught some fairly extreme measures—you pull the person's regulator, yank their fins off, pull off their mask, and hold them down by the tank valve, anything you can do to prevent them surfacing at high speed. Better a briefly unconscious diver than one with an air embolism.
Ironically, I work in a regulated industry and every software we use has to be compliant with certain government regulations. We would actually love it if we got to use excel in our business workflow, but we're forced to deal with some horribly ungodly mess of softwares that cost tens of thousands of dollars, that do nothing more than have the magic "compliant with X" sticker.
in kaggle, I often turn categorical into numeric and call it a day (even if its not ordinal). I have even found that forcing ordinality (like software versions in the microsoft malware competition) usually makes things worse in hold out.

spending too much time on categoricals is a waste of time, there are other things you can improve in your limited time, and even 'doing the right thing' results in poorer performance in hold out.

catboost is great, it ensembles wonderfully with xgboost. if you find it being fragile, you probably have outliers that need droped - tree algs are really just fancy nearest neighbors so an outlier can ruin predictions considerably.

In general, lgbm trains fast and lets you try many things quickly, but almost always under performs catboost and xgboost. catboost performs really well out of the box and you can generally get results quicker than xgboost, but a well tuned xgboost is usually the best. since xgboost and catboost build trees differently and both perform really well, they make great friends in ensembles.

I have done pretty well on kaggle though I haven't invested much time, top 100 in zillow home price prediction
Nothing is forcing them to, and lots probably won't. The carrot is the much lower friction for sign up for users. It's similar to Apple Pay, where you don't get credit card info, but you do get a much easier user flow that will get you more signups.

This is blatant spam.
I think the word "solution" is being used offhandedly here, to mean a mitigating response.

They claim that homelessness is dropping in Finland (contrary to other EU countries), but don't go so far as to say nobody is homeless.

Being homeless doesn't necessarily mean you are unable to afford accommodation; even if you have no private income, this may be covered by welfare benefits. In many cases psychological issues, drug addiction and criminal history are barriers to renting in the private market, which result in homelessness. Being "moved" out of this accomodation may not imply being made homeless again, in some cases the destination may be a more managed form of accommodation (e.g. rehab; prison).

> This stuff is plainly obvious when you've rode 10s or 100s of times more miles than the researchers.

I'd argue, the points you make are 100% obvious if you've ever been through any intersection on a bicycle and needed to go straight or left from one of these lanes. You don't need 'research' when something is obviously stupid, but that seems to be something we've forgotten as a society.

Around me, they put these 'bike' lanes on 45+ mph roads. The average driver is reckless and much too distracted to effectively spot the occasional cyclist.
Why would one want to do that? That looks like an open loop system. Fixing bugs is a feedback loop that allows the system to correct.

I try to involve juniors as new as a couple of weeks in all the project so they learn how software gets made and how the business is run (cc'd in mails with clients so they get the initial back and forth, ideation, clarification and elicitation, how specifications come to be, tradeoffs in engineering and business, courtesy) and I ask them to interact with the client.

Then they write the code knowing the rationale behind why they're writing it this way and why one feature is higher priority than the other.

They then can be more independent because they see a bigger picture than adding a new endpoint.

Then when there's a bug, they know about it first hand and they witness how it's handled with the client and they go on to fix it learning and documenting the assumptions that lead to the bug.

Alignment is high, as is accountability and the desire to make it right. Learning is accelerated in terms of engineering and code, communication, and business savvy.

In my opinion, one misses so much separating concerns that way. Even the humility would go down as the one who wrote the code doesn't get the feedback from the mistake.
Society, not country. Among the landed aristocracy violence was expected. Sons were trained as warriors for the inevitable family conflicts.

>> no laws against murder

Murder is a crime, an unlawful killing. A law forbidding something already defined as a crime is circular. A great many killings, those in combat, were not illegal and therefore not murder. So while murder was illegal killing was not, at least not always. And at the highest levels those who won the war, those best at killing, decided who would be punished, if anyone. The legal definitions were beside the point.

> I think the way to get society-wide change is for the government to either mandate or incentivize it at a systemic level.

The only way that will happen is if people like you vote in a government that will do that.

Not voting because your vote by itself has an infinitesimal effect on the outcome is like a smoker who ignores the health risks and keeps chain smoking because each individual cigarette only has a negligible chance of causing lung cancer, and thus concludes that smoking is not actually dangerous.
