>How would one know one is meeting ethical obligations if they havn't been educated.

I probably wasn't clear. Ethics courses should probably be more common (and embedded in engineering curricula more) although they are certainly available.

My comment about the PE is that it typically requires, for example, a four-year bachelors degree in engineering in addition to other requirements. [1] Thus, moving to a more formal professional structure in this manner would basically exclude career shifters, boot camp grads, self-taught programmers, etc.

Prisoners should be a tax burden. That way, there's no incentive to conveniently round up more prisoners every time the local town needs more free labor.

> The living conditions of leased convicts are documented in dozens of detailed, firsthand reports spanning decades and covering many states. In 1883, Blackmon writes, Alabama prison inspector Reginald Dawson described leased convicts in one mine being held on trivial charges, in “desperate,” “miserable” conditions, poorly fed, clothed, and “unnecessarily chained and shackled.” He described the “appalling number of deaths” and “appalling numbers of maimed and disabled men” held by various forced-labor entrepreneurs spanning the entire state.

Up until that point, Pong came baked into coin-op cabinets or standalone TV console units.

Apple's Pong game came on an audiotape cassette in BASIC source form. You could play the game and modify the source if you wanted. You could even save your modified work to a cassette and give it to someone else.

That was an insanely powerful idea at that time. A TV ad like this obviously doesn't have time to explain it all, but the statement was very correct and very compelling to those that knew what it meant. Apple sold millions of units on this idea.

Writing your own video game was the hook that got me tinkering with the ][, bless it's little beige-boxed heart, and I have my whole career to thank because of it.

I don’t think that’s a valid argument. Firstly, successful software has been written in languages that we would call atrocious nowadays.

Also, even if go were better than all other languages, it still might not be perfect.

Let’s say there are 10 ‘objectively good’ programming language features.

If most languages have 7, but go has 8, you still can complain about wanting the two other ones.

I share the first and last name of the father of a well known celebrity. If I ego surf my name, even in quotes and including -<celeb-name>, it still very rapidly degrades to articles about that negated celebrity name.

A search of

> "myname commonlastname" -celebname

should never return results for "celebname commonlastname" and the search pattern quite clearly forbids the connection of these two pieces of the search clauses in that way.

It has only been the case in recent years that I noticed "-" went from "minus" to "only for the first couple hits, then do the complete opposite." IMO it is a huge and annoying bug.

Also, for a while Google's results page used to show a pic of me and a link to my twitter account, but with celeb-father's personal data. That was weird.

The only reason people look to those independent journalists is because they notice the manipulation in the mainstream media.

Some people are personally involved in a news event, and they read/watch about it and notice that the report is completely different from what happened, cause and effect are reversed, and the journalist is obviously pushing a narrative that was pre-decided before doing any research.

Other people read news articles and then look at a more primary source and notice that the news was completely wrong. This is easy to do with science articles. But it also happens with video news - I remember when CNN ran a clip of a black woman addressing a riot related to a police shooting. They labeled it as a call for peace. Go on YouTube, and see the next 20 seconds of the clip that they edited out, and she's calling for violence - she's calling for the black rioters to stop trashing their own neighborhood and instead 'take that shit to the suburbs' and trash white neighborhoods. CNN flatly lied and edited in the most blatant way.

Or perhaps you know someone like Jordan Peterson from his work, and then he makes an argument about pronoun usage, and suddenly he's on the news juxtaposed with a word cloud of 'Nazi', 'alt-right', 'sexist', all framed as a question, and designed to create the association below the level of conscious thought.

Others notice obvious selective reporting. E.g. BBC sings to the heavens a story about some Viking warriors found buried 1000 years ago, because scientists thought they were women, but they were buried with weapons. Oh, it demonstrates that women were warriors, hooray feminism! Not much later, the scientists check more closely (DNA or whatever) and realize the warriors were all men. There is no story about this, or absolutely minimal corrections. They didn't lie, they just selectively report.

Or you just look at the poll numbers and note that in all these organizations, the employees poll and donate to Democrates 90-100% of the time. Simple example: Google employees gave $1.3 million to Hillary, and zero dollars to Trump in 2016.

Or you just see the subtle conflation of concepts to create a false impression when you know better. "10 million native Americans were killed by genocide and disease..." When you know 95%+ of them were killed by the disease, you know whoever wrote this intended to create a false impression. It's "In WW2, 6 million Jews died of disease and chemical poisoning" level lying.

Eventually this happens over and over and it because overwhelmingly obvious that this is happening all the time. You can learn about so many things that ought to be reports but aren't, and see so many reports that are twisted in obvious ways.

So where do you go when it's incredibly obvious the mainstream are manipulating you - and are not owning up to their biases? You have no choice; you go find independent journalists with acknowledged biases and try to peice together the truth that way. The media forced you to do it.

When dealing with humans, the likely answer is that the relationship is far more complex and based on variable that are beyond our ability to adequately grasp and measure. So what appears to be the same study done multiple times can get different results. As time progresses, social change can lead to what was once consistent result of outcome A becoming inconsistent results and eventually becoming consistent results of outcome B.

Also, many studies are done primarily on college students, so trends that may well be true for them may not apply to the general population. So as studies become better at getting a representative cross section of the population results can appear to change despite early studies being correct.

A large part of this is that results are extremely overstated in the social sciences. If not by the scientists, then by the media and popular culture.

shrug You're not wrong, and the criticism is valid. I only object to the implication than I'm uniquely flawed in this regard. Everyone suffers from being tired or stressed.

A good article on the subject: http://theconversation.com/exploiting-black-labor-after-the-...

> Here’s how it worked. Black men – and sometimes women and children – were arrested and convicted for crimes enumerated in the Black Codes, state laws criminalizing petty offenses and aimed at keeping freed people tied to their former owners’ plantations and farms. The most sinister crime was vagrancy – the “crime” of being unemployed – which brought a large fine that few blacks could afford to pay.

> Black convicts were leased to private companies, typically industries profiteering from the region’s untapped natural resources. As many as 200,000 black Americans were forced into back-breaking labor in coal mines, turpentine factories and lumber camps. They lived in squalid conditions, chained, starved, beaten, flogged and sexually violated. They died by the thousands from injury, disease and torture.

> I'm trying to figure out if my feelings are rational or irrational.

Your feelings are your feelings, rationality doesn't not come into play. Your emotions do no define you unless you have allowed them control over you actions. Processing and reconciling them with your identity is the only way to the other side.

> When we started dating, my side gigs got in the way of our dating lifestyle

You aren't dating your wife anymore. I have no idea how much time has passed, but your decision to take on less side work then, should have no bearing on how much time your wife dedicates to her career now.

> She tells me I'm unsupportive of her because I'm jealous of her success

If the words, 'You are jealous of my success' came out of her mouth, I would love to know what action or statement it was in response to. Are you supportive? Are there things that she wants from you that you are willing and able to do? Are there things you are not prepared to do? Discuss with her honestly about your needs and short comings; with no expectations except that she will hear you say the words.

> I just feel like I'm fighting for some respect for myself

Do you respect yourself? Long term relationships are work and can cause our identity to be deeply tied to another. Reconnecting and accepting yourself is difficult but is require for true lasting self respect. It cannot be found in anyone else.

> I really do want my wife to be successful and happy, but

Is your wife happy? Is she in pain, over worked, lonely? Camaraderie around a shared pain or difficulty can be reconciling.

> I also don't want to be required to live with this feeling of sacrifice.

You are married with children, sacrifice is the life you signed up for. It is the blood, sweat and tears of raising the next generation, this is life. That could be a bad choice for you personally, but realizing and coming to terms with the facts of your situation is the first step to finding out how to make it better.

I think this is the correct way to conceptualize generalizing this algorithm to moving video. I also think it's a fundamentally bad approach to resizing video.

The problem is that humans watching the video will build a 3D mental model of the scene; any transform that modifies multiple frames must do so in such a way as to maintain global spatial consistency, or it will look odd. Seam carving is too primitive to do this. You will have shots where (for instance) someone is walking obliquely away from a building towards the camera, and yet making no headway because the algorithm is carving away the (low energy, yet perceptually indispensible) pixels that seperate them - the result will be that they appear to be walking in place (and growing).

Writer's block is a specialized case of procrastination. It is a problem of emotion management. Doubt and fear over ability cause a person to prefer avoiding the writing.

"What if it's bad?"

"What if I destroy this work that I so badly wanted to be beautiful?"

"What if no one understands it?"

"What if I over-explain it and ruin it?"

"What if people understand it and hate it anyway?"

You face the blank page (or blinking cursor) and these questions run through your mind. Often, rather than agonize over these questions, you do something else so that you don't face these doubts. If you're not staring at the page, or that cursor, you're not feeling what those doubts make you feel.

You do things that are tangentially related to the writing, like cleaning the writing area, or fixing tea, or obsessing over the proper editing software that ought to be used to produce the work. You rationalize these things as preparation for the actual work.

I've done this as programmer. I've done this as a writer. When writers do this, we call it writer's block.

In case that actually dissuaded you from learning and you would want to otherwise, I want to point out that gender is extremely simple in Arabic.

Yes, you can have "open source smartphone apps" (although it's much closer to source available since the users really have no way to modify it) but you absolutely can't have community maintained software (again, on the iphone. You can on android in theory but the tooling really doesn't seem built for sharing with other people.)
> I probably wasn't clear. ... My comment about the PE is that it typically requires, for example, a four-year bachelors degree in engineering in addition to other requirements.

I may not have been clear; how do you know you've built a building that fulfills your ethical obligations if you don't know how to determine so? i.e. you're ethically obligated as an engineer to not build something you know (have determined to the best of your knowledge) is unsafe to use, but how do you do that if you don't know how to? (Especially when there are _many_ people who could.)

Basically I'm saying that you can't have (professionally required) ethical obligations without also having the knowledge and ability to fulfill said obligations.

For issues that aren't a matter of life-or-death, like the vast majority of software, yeah, strict licensure is probably overkill and against the spirit hacking.

However, that people aren't licensed EEs doesn't prevent them from tinkering with arduinos or SDRs; they simply can't sell their skills specifically as an electrical engineer.

I think there is some sensible ground between where we are now and not being able to program without a license (which would be a dystopian nightmare). As I mentioned, clear "building codes", better and more comprehensive best practices (e.g. OWASP), and having said things built into contracts or projects designs from the start, not as afterthoughts (i.e. having business take said best practices seriously).
