Probably, but not likely to happen.

I guarantee you a lot of the legally binding design and testing documents were signed by engineers, maybe some product manager types. A few QA folks? But that's the extent of it as far as people who have the clear cut legal liability. You want to get anyone else? You're likely looking at a massive investigation, and spending years or even decades looking for incriminating documents or emails. And unless I miss my guess, the government is just not terribly likely to find any.
He slept beneath the moon
He basked beneath the sun;
He lived a life of going-to-do,
And died with nothing done.

— James Albery's epitaph for himself (that I remember because I can relate to it).
You’re misunderstanding me. I have nothing to say to people who want to argue in bad faith about racism and other nonsense as if they have any valid scientific footing.

Please don’t cherry pick my remarks to make like there’s an argument to be had here.

By the way, that article is referencing a revival of a strategy employed much earlier on in the 20th century. It doesn’t hinge on “alt right” or anything else. Just bigots making an effort to normalize their bigotry.

Have a good weekend. It’s a long one here as we celebrate Canada Day.
When I hear this arguments, I just wonder, why does the argument always apply "to the executives," and not all of the employees down the line that signed off on a given decision. I think the reason we don't adopt more of these rules is that it's kind of naïve, in my opinion, to blame the problem on only part of the parties involved in a given decision. This would then have to be coupled with better whistle-blower protections, giving employees a right and duty to call out bad behavior.
Never bought Intel CPU for a desktop after Pentium 133MHz that powered my first PC.

I always considered Intel for my builds but AMD always came out as best bang for buck in my price range in the end and I had no way of justifying use of Intel CPU.

It doesnt work the same. On Ubuntu I have found that you have to log in first on the machine so that the vnc server starts before you can use a vnc client to connect. It kind of sucks to have to go tot he machine to login each time it is restarted and leave the machine logged in.

I wanted two features to be a paying customer which should have been easy, the price was actually pretty reasonable.

Dark mode, or even just themes, as they would continuously break anyone who did client side decorations until they gave up. Their blistering white theme hurt my eyes to use and last I checked years later it's still one of the most requested features and still not done. You know what had themes? OneNote. I paid for it and even though I preferred Evernote in many ways, it didn't hurt my eyes to use it. Just in case I'm not being clear I'm not being figurative, the white themes in a lot of devices really hurts to look at. I switched back to Android from Apple for the same reason.

The second feature was a solid export option to text. Which frankly I could have waited for and still been happy paying.

I loved their inline images which still most apps don't do as well. They just refused to add the features and broke them if you added them yourself with every release.
I wonder if this is unchecked laissez faire capitalism at work? Nobody wants to fly on Boeing 737 Max anymore but this has cost hundreds of lives to get to this point.
Yes it means I would be forced to fly on a shitty plane built by junior engineers. Living life in the danger zone.
> (an arbitrary planet that has no impact on the universe whatsoever)

What do you call this type of worldview where you just view everything as completely meaningless or devoid of any value? Is it really straight up Narcism? I mean my god no wonder this is one of the most depressed generations on record.

Apologies for the off-topic comment, I just felt compelled to post this. We are the most meaningful, most important things in the universe until we know or learn otherwise. We are the most intelligent, most accomplished life forms in our known existence. Viewing it as arbitrary might be "technically true" but then again what do we know? What if we are it? It is just as plausible as the other view: that we are just on a billion year course for the eventual heat death of the universe and the end of existence all together.

Treat yourselves as special, you are. Treat others that way too. You'll also be a lot happier. Sorry for the platitudes.
Security and privacy risk are also good things to consider, thanks. Our data lake does have processes and protections in place for this (GDPR tagging and deleting, retention policies, security groups for access control) but just because my streams are compliant doesn't mean downstream consumers are.
but decontamination is always relative, otherwise you will destroy the thing you are "decontaminating".
Last time I checked screen sharing applications couldn't work with Wayland (meet, slack, Skype, etc). All of them work only with X11. I need them to work with my customers so I can't use Wayland until this problem is solved.
I know it's trendy to hate on Apple in this type of community, but why is all the blame for their unrepairability laid at his feet? Did he decide all that on his own? He DID have bosses, yes? They have meetings on all this stuff. Someone sat in a meeting and told Ive to "design it so it's a closed system" or whatever.

Don't get me wrong, Ive was a huge part of it, no doubt. But he didn't do this alone.
It is high bandwidth though. I can stream YouTube and Netflix no problem. Maybe I just don't notice because I'm not an online gamer.
That’s a bullshit argument. My SO‘s Lenovo Laptops USB A ports broke. My USB-C Ports seem significantly more robust, not by implementation but by design. I don’t care about some five dollar China dongle- I care about the connectors of my computer and in this regard there is not a single connector that can compete with USB-C.
Things already survive decontamination.
There's a tradeoff to be made between efficiency and ease of learning. For my environment that I use every single day, I'll go for efficiency all the way.

Of course, we humans like short term returns and so most people don't make the investment to use a more efficient system.
Or maybe the "rise" in autism rates is due to the fact that our diagnostic tools have become more advanced in the past 20 years which has resulted in more people getting their diagnoses.

In particular older people (i.e. 30+) are getting diagnosed just now because doctors previously didn't know what they were looking for.

And I thought I had it bad in my kitchen.

In any case I'm really wondering how it grows outside, which the article didn't really explain. It's one thing for the spores to survive in vacuum, another altogether for it to actually grow in vacuum. Or did I misunderstand something?

The 9980XE is just a really large/fast Skylake CPU. Skylake is years old. If you wanted this level of performance from Intel you could have ordered the Xeon Gold 6154 way back in 2017. It seems fair to call this a 2-year-old part.

A more comparable part would be the i9-9980HK.

Why is the first field the application asks about gender?
but that the tone I read in your words would prevent people from improving

Are people really that fragile? Yes and no.

The solution to thinking you're so clever is to reduce your arrogance, but the solution to thinking problems are simple is to stop assuming any problem is simple.

Isn't humility the answer to both? Someone should develop a humility course for programmers involving an "ultra drone," writing the date/time library for it, and some simulated world test cases. Such "humility exercises" are found in various disciplines. There's one for CIA analysts, involving analyzing US Civil War sites via sat photos, then having them visit in person.
There is all sorts of wrong here. You are conflating several concepts.

Firstly I was commenting on your very strange definition of what working meant. What we (programmers) normally mean by working we mean "It fulfills the requirement that it was developed against". If the requirements change, the code must change to reflect the changes in requirements. If the software is changed it is a different version of that software.

Legacy has nothing to do with that. Legacy until relatively recently meant "Not supported" i.e. Windows XP is "Legacy" whereas Windows 7 is not.

Consider the scenario:

I am asked to write a program to play sound. So lets make up some trite requirements.

* It be able to play .wav files

* Sound should always come out of the default audio device as designated by the OS.

It is written and released. We will call it version 1.0.0 and it is supported to December 2021.

People ask for more features. These new features are:

* It is able to play .mp3 files

* The ability to choose the audio device that you can play sound through.

It is written and released and it is called version 1.1.0 and it is supported to December 2022.

Now the requirements have changed however because we are still in the year 2019 they are both still supported. However the requirements to the software has changed and thus there is a new version of the software to reflect the change in requirements. That should be related in the change-log (remember those things).

In 2022 version 1.0 will no longer supported. There will be no defect fixes to it, but it still works i.e. fulfills the original requirements as listed above. However under the more traditional definition of Legacy Software it is considered legacy.

Things like code quality, maintainability etc. are separate issues.
You don't directly say it, so maybe I'm reading you wrong, but you seem to be suggesting that this hypothesis is nonsense because autism existed before this preservative was used.

The article isn't saying that the only cause of autism is the preservative. It is suggesting maybe part of the increase is due to this preservative.

Although people died before cars existed, it doesn't mean that cars aren't the cause of some deaths today.

We were discussing the dangers of bad GPS. Person A said bad GPS could kill disabled people, person B said a disabled person wouldn't get into that situation, I'm saying that's true, but bad GPS can kill able-bodied people as well.

The point for me is that bad GPS is a potential threat to human life; exactly which humans are in most danger is an interesting side discussion.
Yeah, my first two questions were: "Why don't you get the data from the upstream team's API? Have you discussed this design with them?"

It also happened to me once before--a production system took a dependency on one of my streams in the data lake without my knowledge, and no SLA, then when I made a change to it, they came out of nowhere, blowing me up with e-mails and meeting requests. I told them to go pound sand.
Well that's certainly fair. However in the case of both Joplin and Zim (and probably others), notes are either stored in or can be trivially exported to plain-text formats. Joplin's native, lossless backup format is just markdown in a tarball. Both are also open source.

Ive had limited responsibility over which features went into the products or how repairable they were. That responsibility goes to Product Marketing, Hardware Engineering etc. The design team ultimately works within a box defined by others.
Written by a “journalist” about whom history will not even footnote.

“Ive, Apple's Chief Design Officer, is leaving the company. He leaves a legacy that made its products hard to repair and impossible to upgrade.”

And leaves a trail of epic industrial design, user experience, and manufacturing genius.

Does one repair/upgrade a pacemaker? A fine watch? A modern heavily computerized, sensor-filled car? Smart TV? A digital camera?

Article is a pile of poor logic and lack of appreciation of design. Hard pass.
One principle is that text/command interface and graphical user interface aren't separated.

As in: what if.. you could use a GUI and type commands?

Some software, like CAD programs (AutoCAD, 3DS MAX) and games (HalfLife, Quake, etc) have been doing it forever, but all these solutions are ad-hoc.

We could have had this as a default.

Well, I haven't paid much attention to these gaming products, but this is a really clear example of the difference between remote display and remote rendering.

This Google Stadia is using a remote display protocol. All the rendering is happening in the machine in the datacenter, where the CPU and GPU lives and the game executes. It's a bit like someone sitting in the datacenter playing the game while you live-stream it at home, except they also pass through input controls so you can steer the game from home instead of just watching it.

A remote rendering protocol, which is no longer really sensible, would try to keep the GPU in your living room while running the game in the datacenter. Instead of streaming the screen updates at a nice steady pace based on your display resolution, it would have to stream the drawing commands from the datacenter to your GPU, adjusting the geometry as the game simulation updates the world model and stalling with nice loading screens every time it needs to shuffle in different texture and model data from the game computer to your GPU via the internet.
I'm more excited by the prospect that we've started terraforming Venus. It has an atmosphere, and with a lot of CO2. Wouldn't take many surviving plant microbes on one of the probes we've sent to start things off. Get the CO2 under control and in a few million years it might be downright balmy.
True! Unlike the humid coast where 12 noon and 12 midnight often aren't that much different.
> why does the argument always apply “to the executives”

Because the power asymmetry between executives and workers is vast and continuously growing. Executives are phenomenally powerful powerful people within these industries, whose influence and interests make it possible for such scandals to take place. And they’re the ones truly incentivized to cut corners and break rules in order to meet deadlines, generate as much growth as possible, etc.

Whistleblower rights, at least in the US, are completely insufficient to enable your vision of corporate oversight. Whistleblowers risk their careers, reputations and livelihoods, and often there’s no guarantee that blowing the whistle changes anything. Who makes such retribution not just possible, but inevitable? Executives.
I've suggested before that her gender helped it balloon up to $10B before it fell apart. I think there are various mechanisms involved. Among other things, men don't engage women the same way they do other men.

But people act like I'm crazy for suggesting it and like I don't have valid reasons for trying to parse how this got so crazy and what her gender might have to do with how nutty this became. Trying to sort my life? -- not pertinent, clearly. A woman looking at stories about other women couldn't be trying to find an actual viable path forward for herself, no.

Or perhaps shouldn't be looking. "Status quo is god."

They may be strangers, but these people are all closely related genetically speaking.
There's also another similar long-term experiment being performed on the International Space Station [0]. It's not finished yet but apparently preliminary results [1] suggest that microorganisms can possibly be lifted into the upper atmosphere from the oceans somehow. They found different planktonic species from all over the world on the outer surface of the space station, which is hard to explain by spacecraft contamination on the ground or during the flight alone.

Except many won't find they gained good farmland if they don't have it already. They'll still have poorer colder region soils with new higher temperatures. Getting the perfect temperatures to grow new crops won't fix marginal and often thin soil. Chances are the worms, microbes and fungi won't be right for the new conditions either.

That would take ages to resolve naturally, or if we know how to shortcut, lots of coordinated effort - and no doubt yet more emissions.

Synergy (https://symless.com/synergy) is something that I've been searching for a good, Wayland-compatible, replacement for. It's simple, but I've gotten very accustomed to the ability to plop down a laptop (Mac, Linux, whatever) next to my desktop and instantly have another screen-worth of real estate to work with.

Wayland, by all accounts I've seen to date, just doesn't have the hooks to allow a tool like Synergy to exist. :(

Makes sense to me. I wonder if they will be able to fight the Drifters more effectively as a unified player force? As long as they are not attacking all of the largest structures simultaneously that would probably be the case.

I think it would be interesting if the game company just keeps slowly increasing the numbers to see if the empires will join up. If they don't and are destroyed then maybe that's what they deserve.
I found out last year that I was a sperm-donor child. My sisters have resented me my entire life because they were adopted, and our parents bent over backwards in trying to appease them.

(I found this out through 23AndMe, when I was contacted by a half-sister I didn't know I had, who was looking for information about her genetic father. Turns out her family lied to her about her origins too.)

To find out that I was half-adopted myself didn't bother me at all in one sense- I loved my Dad, and that didn't change. But I now have real anger towards the fact that neither of my parents told any of us the truth while they were alive, and maybe my relationship with my sisters would have been different if we were all at least a little in the same boat. My parents were loving people, but were just from a generation where things like this just weren't talked about. Like an earlier poster said, it's all just... Vexing.

The one thing I am certain of is that finding out your Dad wasn't your biological father while dealing with spiteful siblings who are trying to destroy you for the vulgar, prosaic money reasons that often erupt in families as the estate was divided was a supremely shitty way to find out. Tell the truth early and often, and hide nothing.
Is that so surprising? I have never worked in a domain like that, but I have always assumed that flight computer software would be built with process so deep that you could almost leave the implementation to trained monkeys, implying that those $9/h workers could still be overqualified.

In my mental model of this kind of development (which could be wrong), you'd absolutely not want the 10x hotshot coder, you'd want predictable worker bees to faithfully transcribe from one specification format to another specification format slightly closer to the metal (or to a verification tool) until you eventually have a product that is working as designed. And from what I have read so far the MAX software does work as designed, the problem already started with garbage in. The article reads like an attempt at shifting blame that I think is entirely uncalled for.
