I loved that article. You might be right about the personal liability aspect but maybe there is something else at play too? Perhaps the amount of cognitive dissonance increases beyond some bearable threshold when asked to specifically confirm the lie (basically lie twice).

Similar to how when you ask a child "Are you sure it wasn't you who broke the vase?" They made the additional denial, surely once that step has been taken, the hard work is done.. but you can practically see the additional psychological pressure!
Americans need to realize that if they don't anything now about their oppressive regime, they might never be able to.
Perhaps it makes more sense if I phrase it thusly: the consequences of the decision do not depend upon why the decision was taken. It certainly sounds like a discriminatory practice, based on what is indicated. For sure, even if it had a decorous reason behind it, the consequences thereof are no less severe and irksome.

If you're in a place where being woman is disadvantageous, would you call such disadvantage "racist"? Clearly it fits your description. If you think it's wrong, then I agree with you. If you think it's racist, then no way, it isn't and you just don't know the words you use.

I work on mainframes and just turned 30, making me me more than two decades younger than any other person on my team. We lost 1/3 of the team to forced retirement (EU country) last year though some return as external consultants.

> Ever wonder why there are no mainframe viruses? A properly secured operating system and environment makes viruses extremely unlikely. And with much of the world’s most important and sensitive data residing on mainframes, don’t you think that hackers would just love to crack into those mainframes more frequently? Of course they would, but they can’t because of the rigorous security!

This isn't always true. There are breaches [0] and a lot of the traffic seems to still be sent unencrypted (or just in exotic EBCDIC) [1].

The biggest problems we've run in to while I'm here (with new development, not maintenance) is external services from other parties being unreliable or not representative of their production environment in test environments, and management trying to implement Agile methods where we have 4 yearly releases and a single possible (but ruining our delivery target) reboot window once every two weeks in case of broken functionality that needs patching.

I don't know much about modern development and systems, but I really should get on that. It just feels very difficult to get into with all kind of systems and languages.

I don't think we will. We come from a different era and we know how to explore unknown interfaces. Our parents don't.

Likewise power on button is always a circle with a line on it, but give her a new device and the first question is "how do I turn it on".

I agree, the Microsoft subsystem for Linux will draw many more users away from macOS in the future.

This is a touchy subject because it gets into the realm of the people are not the regime.

A couple of points:

- What I'm referring to is the fact that in order to write down a Chinese word, you often need to know what it means. The semantics inform the spelling, to a much greater degree than in European writing systems. I am in fact sure about this.

I think part of the problem is the fact that there's a real phenomenon that's important to talk about and describe, but rather than invent a new term, that the word 'racism' has repurposed to describe it instead.

200 years ago, everyone would have understood "racism" to mean what you have implied it means: conscious individual racial prejudice. And of course, one problem that (say) blacks in the US face is widespread, individual, conscious racial prejudice.

But there's yet another problem blacks face: the mechanisms of society as a whole disproportionately cause problems for black people, even when nobody involved is consciously prejudiced. When this was pointed out, people would respond, "But nobody in this organization is prejudiced". Well, it doesn't matter if the people are prejudiced or not, the emergent property of the system as a whole affects black people as though it was set up by people who are racist; and so the system is called "racist", even if nobody in it is trying to be racist.

I think the argument here is the same: Iranians are facing persecution for no other reason than the country they were born in. It doesn't matter if people making the policies of the US government is prejudiced against Iranians as individuals or not; the net effect is the same.

(FWIW I think the concept of "institutional racism" is useful, but the overloading of the term 'racist' to describe it is counterproductive in the long run.)

I'll never understand the idea of punishing employees for honest mistakes. Investing the time and money to hire a competent developer, and their ramp up to full productivity is definitely more expensive than that.

By being understanding you can save money and have the peace of mind that this mistake won't happen again.

Not a coincidence the US usually has a carrier battle group somewhere between the two.

Cross straight relations is a definite hotspot, China (PRC) maintain Taiwan is still their territory.

The US has traditionally sat as a buffer to prevent China asserting that militarily but with the US becoming more isolationist and the Chinese rapid expanding their blue fleet capabilities it's only a matter of time until things get...tense.
This is the thing that economists have been pointing out for decades: at the country scale, allowing free trade provides productivity benefits to both sides, and restricting it affects both sides. You can't have a trade war without domestic casualties.

What's crazier is that the strategy of economically integrating China with the world was a Rebublican economic-liberal one to start with. The plan was to make the rest of the world look like America and be trading partners, providing markets for American companies. Someone forgot the last bit.
Legal restrictions are in place and AMD had to be very careful how they went about it, but at the end of the day much of the technology is not exclusively American at this point. ARM is mainly British technology, owned by a Japanese fund. TSMC is Taiwanese. The Silicon cat is well and truly out of the bag. In fact Hygon Dhyana and Zhaoxin (collaboration with VIA, also Taiwanese) are largely responses to the trade war. Aggressive trade practices may be hurting China economically, but it is significantly accelerating their move towards technological independence.
How times changed, it used to be a journalist's job to uncover things like this - viz. the Watergate scandal, the Clinton's Whitewater controversy - but something broke somewhere down the line and this type of digging journalism was relegated to the sidelines and labelled with epithets like 'right wing grifter business'. You may not agree with the message bearer's views but in the end it is the message he bears which counts. In this case the message is clear, a number of influential people within Google is intent on using its reach to influence the political process.
Keep in mind that an extraordinary amount of current population of Iran are in their teens or early adulthood. They can only be tampered for so long before they start to fight back (as an example, look up the resistance against hijabs in Iran).

The best thing us outsiders can do to help them out is to provide them with an unlimited access to the information, not the opposite. The amount of young people that are willing to sacrifice their own chance at a good life for something as meaningless as self-determination can only be made smaller by making the education more accessible.

In principle, there's nothing wrong with being patriotic. In practice, there's very little to be patriotic about when your national identity pulls you down and becomes another hurdle that you have to deal with -- a hurdle that other young people don't have simply because they were born somewhere else.

In this case, it seems that the companies are following a reasonable interpretation of the law of the land in which they operate. I don't the vast asymmetry of "break this law, do a [relatively] small amount of good for a [relatively] small number of people, put a substantial amount of the company at risk" makes any kind of logical business sense.
This could go on but I think the key is that Dynamics 365 is a good platform as long as you have C# developers at the ready to paper over the gaps in the platform. If that's a likely to be deal breaker for you then don't use it, obviously YMMV.

It's only in my last company that we had an actual split between functional consultants and technical consultants, everywhere else it was developers doing ALL the work, so this is never been an issue, but I can see how it could be an issue

You'll never get them to give it up. The US and China are major threats and the actions of those two powers have bolstered not diminished the idea that countries need nuclear deterrent. If the US wants to change things, it must change it's behavior.
Then you should know that the people who wanted the US to drop the Non-Proliferation deal with Iran known as the JCPOA did so because they are willing to put geopolitical considerations, specifically alignment with Israel and Saudi Arabia, before proliferation concerns. To put it another way, if the had to choose, they would choose a weak isolated Iran with nukes over a strong one that could build nukes but doesn't.

You see that happening right now with Iran ramping up enrichment again, and if they play their cards right, they can absolutely go the North Korea route and get it done.

The author of the great app "City Producer" is French, born in Iran. He fled Iran as a child 40 years ago. He was invited to present his app to Tim Cook at Apple's HQ; however as he's born in Iran he can't enter the US, any time, ever. Never mind he and his parents actually fled the regime. Never mind he isn't an Iran passport holder.

This is US foreign policy. Bullish and stupid.

So this isn't really a problem with Apple or Google; it's a problem with the way US enforces sanctions on countries.

> Since Clojure has no statistics / ML ecosystem afaik, I am not sure why you mention it.

I mentioned it to illustrate my point, that semantics and other aspects matter much more than syntax in many cases.

(Btw Clojure does have a ML / stats ecosystem, in part via the JVM, though certainly not as developed as Python / Julia / R. For instance, Anglican is a probabilistic programming language embedded in Clojure: https://github.com/probprog/anglican).

> For someone using math, "programmability" and the other aspects you mention are certainly higher in a language that emulates how we think about the problems.

Sure, but syntax is just about notation - semantics are much more important to achieving nearness to a mental model. If you can't express your mental model in another notation than the one you're familiar with, then you probably don't have a very deep understanding of said model.

Continuing with my example, prefix notation for matrix multiplication does not hurt _at all_ my ability to reason about linear algebra - it sometimes even clarifies it.

I also think you misinterpret what I meant by programmability, which is not the same thing as 'ease of programming' - more like how smoothly various parts of a program interact. If for the sake of syntactic sugar you've introduced a proliferation of different programming constructs with no unifying abstraction, then the other parts of the program will need to make a proliferation of case distinctions as well - that's one way to hurt programmability.
