It seems like satire because the story isn't, even on the surface, about the need for signs in subway stations. It's about a dedicated employee who, performing what many would consider a menial job, displayed care and dedication to his job and in the process revealed himself as something of a design savant.

Saying "but you can print signs for $50" is so wilfully blind to what makes this story charming that it seems like a parody of the literalness and complete lack of romance that one sometimes sees in HN comments.
> people go to significant inefficiencies in order to avoid having to deal with aforementioned rude incompetents

This can also make them seem more competent. E.g. if one rude person is an obstruction that everyone else has to work around, the rude individual is the only one working unimpeded. Unless the difference in competency is large enough to account for that, the manager might consider the rude person more competent.
If technology has arrived everywhere, why has income diverged? (2018)
> Right now, the yield curve is inverted showing how little they actually effect rates. Long run rates are set in the global market.

The fed causes the inversions every time by pushing up the short term rates until they are near or above long term... It is ridiculously obvious if you just look at a plot of this.
If this is the case, your hiring and evaluating process has a deficiency, which should be an easy fix.

However, assuming a decent hiring process, people generally aren't rude from the get-go. The bigger question the study doesn't even tackle is how does rudeness evolve over time, and - again assuming rudeness isn't some intrinsic attribute - what factors lead to an increase in rudeness.

If somebody is truly incompetent, sure, fire them. But incompetence is rarely so cut and dried, and points to a failure to invest in a person's or team's abilities.

I don't think it's a stretch to see the proliferation of incompetence as a management failure in any case. If percieved incompetence leads to a lack of respect and therefore rudeness, it should come as no surprise why leaders who allowed such an environment to be created would be unable/unwilling to assess it accurately.

You should consider adding this breakdown to the wikipedia article
From my experience rude + under-performing = termination, if those people who you work with are not performing why does your companies management keep the around?

I didn't put it in my original post but incompetent managers who use "boasting" as a success metric instead of objective metrics can lead to such an issue as well.

If you are riding out the downturn there's little need for diversification. Sure don't keep your portfolio in a single stock but the S&P500 is sufficient diversification. You don't need cash likes or bonds. Equities have the highest rates of return and that's what you should be having.

Yeah, there's some science. But mostly, just an incredibly sweet story. Dr. Pilly, Chaser's owner, died last year at 89. Chaser also lived a long, happy life.
Java got that part right in the 1990s, when it was the cool Web-savvy language. At the time, I especially liked how they piggybacked onto the existing DNS domain name control, avoiding having to create a new centralized registry to keep names unique. (Of course, more could be done beyond that, today.)
I would recommend never running code in production that you haven't commited into git.
What stops anybody from fostering that attitude further into their careers? People should be given opportunities for new project and be excited to do the work... unless they already know it's going to be a shit show (impossible deadlines, clueless management, etc). If switching jobs induces such good behaviours initially, what does that say about the previous job?

Again, not trying to defend people who are truly rude. But I'd like to think the vast majority of people aren't like that.
If you've ever run a large IT program before, you'd know that software development is probably less than half the cost and probably less than half of that will be on the core problem. There's a ton of governance involved in rolling out a system like this plus all the training, maintenance, operations, etc that all has to be done with full indemnity against failures. I could write a system to save text and images in a weekend, but that wouldn't make it Facebook.

Imo your solution is just a band aid. The real solution is having a distribution of packages which are maintained and suppervised by a group of people. Like the linux distribution maintainers or the group that develops the language.

Community contribuited packages should be declared "install at own risk" like in archlinux aur.

All this is already solved. But people want to reinvent the wheel and ride the user generated content train.
That's not interventionist tho. The same point of view framed as an intervention would be to come to America and burn our forests down.

But that's not an intervention, rite? That would be an act of war. An intervention is supposed to be for the greater good of the collective, as in win-win.

From a quick skimming online, it sounds like there's a policy to embargo private correspondence until all involved haven't been around for at least 5 years.

In this case, it seems that Russell took a much younger woman as his third wife: [Patricia Russell, Countess Russell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Russell,_Countess_Rus...). Wikipedia lists her as passing in 2004, so presumably there was an embargo on their correspondence until 2009.
See the Wikipedia page of Ontological Argument.

It belongs to the long tradition in Western Philosophy and has been proposed by many great philosophers in different variations, Godel's proof can simply be seen as the same metaphysical argument rigorously expressed in modal logic. And of course, this argument, like many other issues in philosophy and theology, is not without its controversy. It has been criticized by many people in the past 1000 years, including some high-profile theologians as technically flawed, which is also covered by this Wikipedia article.

> The left and right exist because they summarise deeply held intuitions about human nature. The positions held by each side do follow logically from those intuitions

I really don't think so. For example (all of these apply to the supporters of the left/right, and not the people actually in power, because who know what they actually believe/support, vs. what is just political dealings), "how can you be against the death penalty, but pro-abortion" - but then, the opposite stance makes just as little sense. For another example, the US left used to be anti-globalization, but now they are banging the free-trade drum, while the US right is flirting with protectionism. Or compare LGBT support on the left today, with their persecution under most communist governments in the past. Then there is the Christian US right that mostly ignores Jesus' rather socialist teachings, while the mostly non-Christian left is in a hurry to bring them up. Unions used to be (still are?) anti-immigration, and kind of a left-wing thing?, while the left is pro-immigration. Environmentalism and animal welfare were right-wing positions in Nazi Germany (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany), while now they're left-wing ones, and the right tends to ignore/oppose them.

If I knew more about politics in Asia, Africa, or South America, I bet I could come up with lots of other examples where the positions of their local left/right differ from those in the US/Europe.

Point is, the positions are driven group affiliation, not logic - historically, it was far more important to be in the right group, than to be correct.
Mostly because the vast majority of JS developers don't seem to be aware of the rest of the software universe, and so seem to reinvent the wheel, rediscover the worst of software's history, and discard the most useful of software findings with shocking regularity.

“Rich folks” include pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds.

The whole thing seems to me like central bankers confusing cause and effect and trying to squeeze a complex system in to linear regressions. Lots and lots of unpredicted consequences to artificially low interest rates, including effects that do the precise opposite of what was predicted.
This is true, seeing the title I was thinking of someone just rediscovering some fun tricks of Montague. Although I think in principle nothing stops categorial grammar from working for inflected languages if we agree to do some preprocessing/intermediate metalanguage conversion. The semantics of cases is largely analogous to what would be accomplished with prepositions in English.

Anyway, I love the analogy on the page 4. He says that data-driven models in NLP (such as neural nets) may be similar to stacking Ptoleme's epicycles: they could fit the data better than simpler models from Copernicus to Newton, until we got the ~correct simple model understanding with Einstein. I don't know if this will be actually true for language, but I like it.
In this case the central registry couldn't solve the problem, because it was not their fault.

Both persons had two distinct personal codes, issued officially by the "agenzia delle entrate" office.

It's when the motor vehicle driving license of person A has been registered, that a transcription error happened.

Whether that instance could have been avoided with a more careful check or not misses the point.

The point is that data entry errors are possible.

As this little anecdote exemplifies, having a unique citizens code doesn't prevent the confusion of identities.

It makes it less frequent which in turn makes it a worse experience for those to whom it happens (since officials have no training to solve the issue).

E.g. the software at the "motorizzazione civile" is likely to treat the CF field with a "unique" constraint, which turns out to be a problem when a new user enters the system with a strong proof of legitimate ownership of a code that was likely erroneously used in the past.

Isn't inflation simply another cost? As long as the value of these bonds (their low risk, as opposed to their maturity value) is greater than whatever cost you care to consider (inflation, negative interest, opportunity cost, etc.) they will be valued instruments. There is no "what should happen" or what is "supposed" to happen; those are fictions in the minds of spectators and until you're prepared to anger some powerful people and institutions they will remain fictions.
I tried a bit of treeplanting work myself in 90's Scotland, but couldn't stick the physical workload to be honest. Forestry there and in the rest of the UK is in the main still quite ecologically insensitive and also massively under-developed with national parks kept quite barren through generations of strange policy decisions and over-subsidised sheep farming. Policies seem to be on the verge of improving though.

I take your advice about industrys adaptation in Canada - but I think its adapted to external regulation and environmental oversight. Horrific, internationally contracted and equipped logging business continues around the world. I can appreciate how investors and wage seekers become insensitive to it, and in other industries to combustion, pollution, waste.. so examination, regulation, forcing industry to adapt at home and abroad is the only hope.

Hmm indeed. A hack is possible but the timeline of events is dubious.
I don't think there is enough information to come to a conclusion here, but I doubt your proposed failure mode.

Based on my experience with largish data in mongo, my guess would be that the database size was >> than ram and, due at least in part to mongo's design, when the master failed over the memory state of the new master didn't have the working set present in RAM. This lead to a huge inrush of disk IO resulting in all sorts of bad until the RAM state sorted itself out.
AFAIK, anyone who works in these kinds of projects uses open source libraries as they are the prevalent ones. So, I am a little perplexed with the emphasis on 'using open-source libraries'.

I think you should look at what happens to sick people when you legislatively prevent them from getting healthcare. They die. Plenty of other countries have figured out how to provide healthcare for all their citizens either through a government run plan or through private insurance. Are Americans that stupid they can't figure it out? Or are they just so cruel they'd rather let their own citizens die so a few people can get rich? Probably both.

Compelling argument
I totally understand that it seems expensive especially if you haven't bought fonts before. Designers are more willing to pay for fonts since fonts are their tools and money maker, but most people do not make a money's worth out of font purchase. If you are in an environment where you think font choices can improve your productivity, I do recommend you consider buying one. To talk about our side, serious typeface design requires years of experience, and people who buy fonts are much smaller in number, compared to film and music, which is also why fonts seem pricy. Look at MyFonts and you will see Comic Code is actually on the cheaper side. There are sometimes good fonts made open source, but the principle that we need to get paid still applies; for those projects, it's just that they were paid by other companies like Mozilla and Google, not users.

Here is an open source option of monospaced Comic Sans, which seems to be a passion project rather than a paid one. It's a single weight with very small character count. I mean no harm to her project, but it does make a case for what you get for free vs money.

Let's separate it up, with this argument, people often do follow the logic, but do not accept the premises.

Premise 1: God is defined as the greatest thing that we can possibly concieve ("that for which no greater can be conceived")

Premise 2: real things are better than imaginary things

We can imagine God (he exists in understanding). A real God is better than an imaginary God (2).

Then, if God does not exist, we can concieve a greater thing (a real God) this leads to a contradiction with respect to (1). Therefore by proof of contradiction, God must exist
So why wasn't he terminated if he had sub par performance and was also someone who causes friction? Did no one speak up about the issue... or is that "rude" behavior?

To me is sound that 1 of 3 things are happening:

- Management sucks and cannot objectively see who is successful as doing what.

- The person is not subpar and that is your own personal feelings

- Most of the company's full of "nice guys/girls" and the building could be on fire and they would still applaud any small insignificant win while the whole place burns. They fail to deal with anyone failures and issues including the rude person and so they just deal with it and complain via whispers.
I can not disagree with you more.

I have been a software developer for more than 25 years too. And it never getting boring. Oh, should I say "globally-boring". It becomes "locally-boring" from time to time, each project has such period when you need to fix stupid boring bugs, for sure. But on global scale? No-no-no.

Every year your get new opportunities.

It was PIC16F84 25 years ago and it is STM32F103 now, same budget, same footprint, whole new world you could do on the nail of your finger — you could do with microcontroller what needs big iron 25 years ago! It is not same old problem, because it allows you to solve problems which is unimaginable 25 years ago.

It was 80286 or 68K 25 years ago, it is multicore monster now. Again — completely new challenges. Lock-free algorithms and data structures, new view on memory/computing tradeoffs, new problems, new solutions, each day you could learn something new from cutting edge of CS.

It was modem, FIDO and ZModem 25 years ago (at least in my country) and now it is global network, fault-tolerant geographically-diustributed systems, real-time protocols and such.

Quantum computing on the horizon, and I hope to be able to grasp this too in next 25 years!

Ok, you could glue together frameworks 25 years ago and now, but nobody says you should and nobody says it is only one way here.
