>That's when I knew it was time to leave that team

Currently in that situation. My "agile" estimate blew up by a factor of as much as 10, just because the ask was conceptually very simple, even to the domain experts I consulted. And by bad luck the way I was implementing the story it happened that the issues unfolded one-at-a-time, rather than somewhere in the beginning where we could have broken things up into more stories with additional time.

I mean, it happens in engineering sometimes. We engineer our way out of it, and the engineering is solid in the end. But no, we blew up our story, so all that working nights and weekends to get back on track are for naught.
At some point in the future GPUs have to decide if they are computing devices or graphics devices. Right now they are trying to be both.

If you purposely design graphics devices you can make many simplifications and optimizations because you can abstract all tasks as drawing primitives. That will make serialization very easy.

Quicket Solutions | Software Engineer | Chicago | https://www.quicketsolutions.com

At Quicket, we understand that government needs great technology to best serve our communities. Quicket’s unified data management and operational intelligence software improves efficiencies by breaking down data silos, automates services for residents, and eliminates costs associated with managing infrastructure. Our software focuses around e-citation, code enforcement, hearing management, and other platforms used by municipal governments.

Primarily, we're looking for engineers with 3-5 years experience. Engineers that have proven they can help a team deliver a product and are looking to grow their careers to the next stage.

Positions:

- Backend: We use Python, but are open to strong developers in any language. This position is for building out REST APIs for mobile/.NET clients to consume, rules engines, and integrations with 3rd party systems.

- C#/.NET: WPF/UWP, The Quicket .NET team is seeking an engineer/developer with a minimum of 3 years of experience working with .NET technologies. Quicket operates under a SaaS model, and this position will focus on redesigning our desktop application to better serve as a mobile front end to our web data platform.

- Infrastructure Engineer: You will be supporting multiple product teams with automating deployment, QA, CI/CD tooling, and infrastructure for an AWS based SaaS company providing solutions for government agencies. You: Think that automating away your job means you’re doing your job. Feel strongly that if it can’t be automated, it shouldn’t be done. Cringe at the thought of a customer finding a problem before you do. Understand that “scale” refers to people as well as infrastructure. Think of success in terms of failure modes, mitigation, and resolution. Thrive on solving new problems, learning new tools and sharing them with others. Take ownership of your solutions, grow them to meet new challenges and groom them to be useful to others.

>... and the easier it is to hand off to another developer.

I have never seen this work out in practice. And it's like a 1%-of-the-time thing anyway.

On the flipside, I've seen quite a few hours wasted adding fake subdivisions to tasks, probably close to 30% of the time. Outside of small, known bug fixes or tech debt cleanup, it's rare for a thing to wholly fit within a sprint.
For my use case, the main attraction for me in the RPi4 is the additional RAM and better IPC/ISA, not necessarily the higher clock (though higher clock is certainly welcome).
Have you tried running it at 320x240 (ie only pixel doubling instead of quadrupling) ?

I really don't think these languages should be set opposite to one another as much as they do. I mean, I get why they are. They take up almost the same position and have quite different ways to view security and lang design. And they both try to grow and compete.
But still. I think there are some space for them both.
I would really think it would be cool to spend my working hours programming Rust for safety and switching to Zig whenever I have to code an unsafe block (all of it compiling to webasm :o )
There's a number of points to this story and maybe one of the reasons I liked it so much is because it says things that are otherwise hard to describe, but here are two pointers:

- in the monastry they visit, no two things are equal. I read this as an overapplication of DRY.

- the monks speaks an extremely terse language that is so complicated that even their master have to think for a good while before he can say anything. In the story the master also speaks to the newbie in this language, implying that he either doesn't realize nobody else understands it, or maybe rather that he doesn't care so much about being helpful as he cares about being terse.

Government and corporations are the ones who will make that call.

Most of the sheep are protected by a cage; it takes a lot of mental power to operate in the increasingly technical world we've created.

Solve AI and you've removed that cage. Sure we'll still need some sheep but no where near as many as we have right now. Most will be made redundant.

The sheep today that are living fulfilling and happy lives because of their ability to process knowledge marvel at the possibilities of AI and how it could push the species forward but forget to consider what their own role would be in a world where machines are both stronger and infinitely smarter than any human.

> When it comes to on-prem or self-hosted software I actually prefer running a monolithic application that worst-case I can just bounce or reboot the server.

So why not just skip the helm chart and install the omnibus package on a dedicated server? If you want you can even disable stuff like the omnibus Postgres/Redis/etc and manage those yourself elsewhere.

That's what I do - run the omnibus package sans fancy helm chart - and it works out pretty well. Granted it does require a fair bit of RAM to run smoothly.

True, but that's not the only thing. If it ever was in the index, it takes forever to be removed, if it gets removed at all. Send 404 or 410, Disallow it or set it to noindex - you may get lucky or you may not. You can of course "hide it from search results", but that only works for 90 days (iirc, may be 120, something in that range). Those leftovers will typically lose rankings, but they often stay indexed, easy to spot with a site: query.

"Countless times", but you give one reference that has one paragraph that contains those bullets, with only a one-or-two-sentence justification for each (except the last, which is given no justification at all, just as an opinion). That's not much to back up your claims, even if it is Stepanov.

And even on "methodologically wrong", Stepanov's rationale is wrong. After programming in various languages for decades, to use his analogy, we had "proofs". Then the "axioms" of OOP were laid down.

Note also that Stepanov says that generic programming is for him the only possible way to program. I suspect (possibly wrongly?) that you adopt his criticism of OOP, but not the rest of his rather dogmatic statements.

That's not what you said before at all, they don't do an inconsistent comparison of real and nominal, which what I thought the problem to be
>>" Inevitably, the income will be real income [inflation adjusted] and the prices nominal prices."

They don't specify which in the title, but they do in the article.
The biggest thing is there is no comparison between nominal and real prices. Acting like the nominal cost of things is not keeping up with real wages.

If you don't want to get tricked maybe read the whole article instead of just the title. It is a somewhat complex topic and takes some thought to put into it if you want to know what is going on.

> but adding OOP to an imperative language kind of implies it's one of many systems coexisting.

OOP is inherently an imperative paradigm; you might mean “procedural” instead of “imperative” (certainly, that makes both uses of “imperative” in your post more sensible), but even then, OOP as a paradigm is very closely related to the procedural paradigm.

I'm glad to know there's a name for this. The world has definitely become less enchannted in the last 30 years, and even the last 10. I imagine this process has been roughly continuous since ancient times, and that would be consistent with my understanding of history.

It's not as straightforward as the fraction of people who believe in magic, though that is certainly related and decreasing. It's also the importance of art, the importance of holidays, how easily we have sex, how much violence we tolerate...

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~10 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes. I’ve also been doing some Swift lately.

In the past, I've worked with companies like CircleCI, Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently booked through the end of July, but I’m always happy to meet up for coffee and chat.

> I was the third man in a room full of women. I certainly felt intimidated. I could totally relate then to the position of every woman in a male dominated industry.

No, he truly can't, being a woman in a room full of men is not the same as being a man in a room full of women. There are a lot of reasons why being the lone woman feels vastly more intimidating.

> Feminism appeals to women who seek authority, power and money. There is nothing wrong with that. But not all women want that!

His entire assumption of feminism is just wrong, there are varying waves of feminism that have transformed it over time; not all feminists subscribe to the same ideology. This author needs to read up on what feminism actually is. Even the right to just want to be a stay-at-home mom is upheld by most feminist values. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

What exactly is "the one thing" that they (silicon valley) got wrong? Article just rambles about how feminism is "wrong."

This article makes me want to read this book, but perhaps its just a ploy to... sell more books?
That's a pretty interesting idea. I hope you don't mind if I pelt you with a few questions; I'm curious to know more.

* How are you calculating value based on carbon emissions? I assume you are compensating according to some well-known figure for cost of negative externalities?

* Have you done any market research, and have you validated that your estimated payment can overcome the "my children are the most precious thing" issue?

* How do you verify people are not hiding their children for money?

* You mentioned this is a global program, but different people emit different amounts of carbon. Do you estimate by current per-capita emissions in the nation of the person? Do you factor in growth over time for the estimated next generation?

* Where can I read more, as I understand you probably don't want to copy-paste from wherever the information already exists and I've got a few more?
These are some pretty privileged operations you're trusting the tool to perform. I'm not sure a couple of commands warrant using a GUI tool, especially one that doesn't seem to inspire too much confidence upon cursory examination.

Meanwhile in Poland…

A new law is being prepared (just got through the senate and went to the president for final approval) that introduces subsides for EVs, and… wait for it…

Natural-gas powered vehicles.

Yup. LNG. And the subsidy for those is supposed to be TWICE as much as for electrics.

This sounds mind-bogglingly insane, but starts making a little sense once you realize that Poland has almost no natural gas production, and buys it, mostly from Russia.

There is no facepalm emoji big enough to finish this with.

For Polish readers, see http://moto.pl/MotoPL/7,170318,24943189,doplaty-do-samochodo... for details.
That's a little melodramatic.
I just got back from Sweden and Norway and as others have noted the lavish subsidies make the extra expense of running an EV attractive.
I was talking to a Swedish friend who follows climate scientist Piers Corbyn (the UK Labour party leader's brother) closely, and who wouldn't agree with your perception.

EV's are very cost effective for now to seed the market, but once the subsidies are turned off it is questionable haw many thrifty Scandinavians will continue if there are more economically viable option open to them.
That is amazing news, thank you for posting it. It was a tragedy they didn't do a cut and cover tunnel for the green line when it went in. They had to shut down all the streets and move the sewer etc. anyway!

That's basically how Intel MPX works,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_MPX

as well as TinyCC's Bounds Check,

https://bellard.org/tcc/tcc-doc.html#Bounds

which cites the aforementioned GCC patch.

I think AddressSanitizer uses a shadow mapping structure more similar to Valgrind.

Although your point about performance still stands. Intel MPX is dead--support removed from GCC, IIRC, because of hints Intel was abandoning it. We'll never know how well it could have been optimized in practice. I think ultimately we simply need proper fat pointers, but those might not become ubiquitous (in the sense of becoming a de facto standard part of shared, C-based platform ABIs) until we see 128-bit native pointers.

I traveled in sleeper trains in China, and while the experience was interesting, I can't really say it was comfortable or even pleasant.
