The thing is, homogenous teams perform better than diverse ones, contrary to the common agenda these days. But you can't say I want everybody in my team to be more or less same as me, same culture, same behavioural codes, same common sense and all those things that makes a team perform smoothly like a well oiled machine. So instead they invent all kind of terms and roundabout ways to get to the same results while preaching to the masses about diversity and all kind of nonsense like that.
You would be correct.

But by hiding the fact that that is all it is they get government support and funding. Many of the program are also used by churches to force adoption of their religion. Essentially people are required to undertake a 12 step program and one of the steps requires you to accept a higher power. The churches then claim that the “higher power” “could” just be a friend or some such in much the same way that an “intelligent designer” does not mean “god”, it could be anything. Anything at all.

Because many churches love abusing their power over other people (like missionary “doctors” who require patients in $country convert to Christianity to receive treatment)
The concept is called visual fluency and is applied in advertising terms to hack your mind to remember the ad offer. The more they show the ads, the more they are suppose to resonate. They then combine that with catchy songs and provocative imagery to pull on your primal reactions and emotional strings.

There is a science to all of it, and it’s very effective, even if we’d like to think we’re immune to advertising.

Regex can be as easy to maintain as code, if you treat them like code:

1. Don't put it all on one line

2. Indent nested constructs

3. Write comments

And then there are... pump actuator failure, syringe seal failure (on syringe based pumps), valve failure (on valve based pumps), user error (on all systems), reservoir running out, occlusion, air bubbles and a thousand other things that can go wrong. This is not exactly easy material in the best of cases and most sensor packages do not have redundancy and will at best address only a small fraction of all possible failure modes.

This is blog post worthy, as I think this idea could fleshed out. Here are some questions in no particular order of importance, just curious (and showing some evidence this could be fleshed out):

1. How many times did you try it?

2. Why do you think it works?

3. How do you find companies that have both technologies?

4. Have you seen a difference in the willingness to let you learn the technology that you'd want to learn?

5. Do you know of times when this approach failed, if so why?

6. Are you of the opinion that if you'd spend 5 years working on JS for 100% of the time vs 5 years 50% of the time and 5 years 50% of the time on a technology that you'd like, that you would be as experienced in JS in both cases? Even if you're not, could people prove that you're not? Should you just say you've had 5 years of XP with JS?

7. Are there moments when this approach is strictly worse compared to a traditional approach despite it not failing, if so why?

8. Are there strategies that synergize well with this approach? Are there strategies that diminish the value of this approach (aka work against it somehow)?

Alright, brainstorm time is over. I'd read your blog post about it, or having an email discussion would be awesome too (my email is in my profile, if you think it'd be fun).
I don't even have a mobile phone as I enjoy the freedom from the thought that all this technology has created a 1984 style panopticon. Have I had an emergency when I needed a phone? I haven't had an emergency, Project Fear can take a run and jump. Do I need one to converse with friends? I don't have any friends, the only people who get in touch are those that want something from me. Users.
Facebook at least used to tell the user if any friends also liked something, as well as tell them whether they had liked the page already.

Not sure if FB still supports that, and where I work, we have used static buttons since forever.

I wish I had a good answer to this. I suppose I've never looked at anything else than what I was working with (C, C++, Java, JavaScript and much later CoffeeScript) out of "religious" reasons. I guess being really good at what you do can do that to you.
I hold CoffeeScript in a very high regard. It has freed me from two things - the spaghetti verbosity of JavaScript, and the abrupt syntax changes of ECMA spec introduced in the recent versions, ones I don't particularly see as a positive development of the language, _especially_ compared to the timeless cleanliness of CoffeeScript.
So and I think that CoffeeScript may have thawed me a little towards LISP-like syntax and behavior.
I don't know. I think at some point, you realize that you have written (and managed) enough of C/Java-like verbose code and that it's time to try something completely different.
So and then it hits you - programming should be data-centric, not language-construct-centric. And that a too big codebase must be a result of ill-specified project scope, more often than not.
Raising taxes on cigarettes or liquor with the intent of influencing behavior is big brother BS. If however you're doing it to pay for the future health care costs that smoking incurs I'm all for it (if the health care system is public).

> Management is knowing of to make people work together toward a common goal.

I have almost three years of experience and found myself leading a team of 14 people, all of them sysadmin and/or system engineers. I reported to my manager, as did the people i lead.

I can tell you, managing people is IMMENSELY hard.

People have all kind of problems and issues, serious and trivial, and can create a problem out of a stupid technical detail. Some people can’t take a criticism and will take it to hr.

I am still amazed ad how well my manager is capable of keeping his temper, how he can tone down a heated discussion and manage to get people to work together, reach some form of consensus and generally move forward.

I just don’t have (yet?) that kind of skills.

I do however realise that it is a completely different skillset, and that for such job one would need just enough technical knowledge to understand what the problem is about and who to pull into the discussion should things get too technical.
I wouldn't reject it straight away but I'd be wary, I would make assumptions:

- They don't even know it's not professional, which seems a basic thing to me. Are they socially unaware?
- They know it's not professional and did it to have a laugh with friends ("the face the HR must have made hahaha")?
- They try to make a statement "form doesn't matter, only skills do" which I do not necessarily agree on

I could also make charitable assumptions but my point is that it's definitely a risk
Currently, you can only share the whole project. Codelines creates .codelines folder when first activated. So by sending someone the whole project, they can start the extension and read what you wrote.

Yes, Toys R Us was making money every year. There was never a year where it lost money. After the buyout, they could not keep up with the interest payments made in its name to buy itself back.

If you ever end up in the backcountry, you might want to consider a used Iridium phone. They can be found in good condition for significantly less than a flagship smartphone and check all the boxes for emergency, phone-only devices: small, rugged, makes phone calls, works very nearly anywhere without having to deal with local SIM cards or roaming, and expensive minutes provide an incentive to not use it for trivial stuff. Great for genuine emergencies and quick travel coordination, terrible for anything remotely resembling social media.

We need to build shareable landing pages. We share via Instagram and Facebook (for now). We use NextJS because they do provide static rendering that covers what we care about and are likely to care about anytime soon.

Big PIs typically gain control of a particular subfield by publishing something first, then getting lots of papers to review and blocking said papers and/or stealing good ideas from them.

That's a bold claim, especially the "typically" part. How can you back it up?
I guess you have some solid data to support that statement?

I unfortunately only have anecdotal evidence that 60h is not implausible.

Me and my wife have two kids and share most of the household work, it's not an even split (she does more). I would say that on average we both work from the time we get back home from work until the kids sleep, ~4hrs later. In addition to that, one of us probably spends some 30 mins each morning getting the kids ready for school. Saturdays and Sundays typically involve two cooked meals per day plus any bigger household work that the weekdays won't fit. So I guess we spend some 60h/week on chores.
Fair use is a defense. You, at best, get sued, have to pay a ton of money in attorneys fees, on the chance that you "bet" it's going to work. Tough sell.

That is perhaps the understatement within the whole article.

The ability to push some people further than others before they tap out, results in an environment where that is the normal level of stress.

And those who can survive it, but don't want to tend to be marked out as "problems", instead of acknowledging that the insanity is temporary and everyone should/will take a break to recover instead of just burning out one person at a time, while keeping the hiring pipeline trickling in to cover that.
> They could have survived and had run way to make changes if PE didn't burden them by taking out loans against the company's assets and taking that out of the company in the form of management fees.

Sure. This downplays how poorly things were going for Toys R Us before the leveraged buyout. They significantly underperformed expectations the holiday season before the leveraged buyout. Private Equity bet big that they could help Toys R Us make the jump to e-commence as well as revamping stores (they were notoriously outdated compared to the competition at the time of the buyout) and improve operational efficiency. The added debt did make things worse, but Toys R Us was failing on multiple fronts before the buyout (which is why they became a buyout target). Given their underperformance in several strategic areas, it's unlikely that Toys R Us was going to magically turn things around if Private Equity never got involved.

I'm not arguing that Bain and KKR (the Private Equity companies involved) added any value. Both bet and lost $1.3B each on the idea that they could legitimately turn things around at Toys R Us. The rapid rise of e-commerce along with the economic downturn in 2010 meant that Toys R Us was likely doomed regardless of who tried to lead their turnaround. There are legitimate reasons to be critical of Private Equity, but it's not as simple as saying Toys R Us died only because of it.
Quite honestly, this is as good as any. I'd read the earlier version (Energy and History) previously. His materials book, Making the Modern World, is also an eye-opener.

Journal versions are reference by journal name, volume, year, page number, indexing a hard copy version you can find in a library. Seems pretty immutable to me.

The journals I published in all accepted latex. But they convert it to use their layouting software. The last correction steps are typically done only in this version, and the author has to backport them into their tex code.
Why should the journal have any interest in making the arxiv version more attractive?
>>> The dominant use of VR will be content consumption (I disagree personally, and think it will be communication and collaboration)

Maybe not the dominant use, but certainly the dominant market revenue wise. Think of the movie and TV industry vs security cameras and employee training videos. I think it's naive to think that any new form of media won't be dominated by entertainment uses in the public eye.
Yes, obviously the settlement reflects analysis by Activision Blizzard, which is exactly the point. The expected outcome of challenging an assessed tax deficit is part of that analysis, so the choice to settle must be viewed with that in mind.

So we end up testing against the production API with a staff member's credit card - well if we want to deploy any time soon.

Or I guess you could mock and cross your fingers that they haven't changed the API recently without telling you. Payment APIs are the most solid, but that's a low bar considering the state of third-party APIs in the real world.

If it wasn't hard for enterprises to build and manage APIs, then Google Apigee and Mulesoft wouldn't be worth billions.

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I’m mid-way through my first experience with this. Some warning flags to add for anyone wondering if it’s them or you:

- You’re beginning to wonder if it’s you that’s crazy, despite successful previous roles.

- Their conversation has moved from “we” to “I” (or “you” and “us”).

- Your number of known unknowns (usually people- or business-based) suddenly spikes for no apparent reason

- Other people become (comically) formulaic in their response to questions.

- Feedback channels are quietly shut down because they’re “not really needed/too much process/etc”

I’ve started thinking of it as “professional gaslighting”, though its motivations may not be that sinister. My main mistake was not listening to that feeling that “something is wrong”. It’s surprisingly prescient.

That doesn’t seem accurate. Public companies controlled by the stock market, a board of directors, and a CEO are far more important, both politically and overall, than the small number of companies which have been taken over by private equity.
