and that reason is that DOCSIS allocates more channels for down than up. and DOCSIS does that because that's what most consumers want.
Haskell and Scala share complicated and fragmented programming styles. But Haskell has additional dimensions of complications (and thus fragmentation) due to:

1) Many compiler-option language extensions: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.2.2/docs/html/users_gui... --- these add new language syntax and deep features. They radically change the meaning of the code you're reading.

2) Multiple competing standard library collections ("preludes"): https://guide.aelve.com/haskell/alternative-preludes-zr69k1h...

3) Haskell's language spec ceased development a decade or so ago. So the above diversions are never rolled back into the language. Instead, all forward development to Haskell is done in the form of new compiler options.

I'm not too familiar with Scala, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't suffer from these problems.

There are even more sources of Haskell fragmentation, such as many competing methods of error handling, input validation, and data records.

(I'm a Haskell user who wishes this all weren't the case.)

I had a very similar experience at a previous company. Leave, management does not value you or your inputs to the business. You will be much much happier at another company that embraces remote work instead of grudgingly tolerating it. It's easier than ever to find remote first companies.

Don't make the mistake of thinking management is mistaken and just needs to be educated. The big shake up, changing WFH and open office plans are all giant neon signs that say management is attempting to line their pockets off the misery of their employees.
Every phase of life can be a difficult transition, we should mentor retirees to help them find their purpose in their new situation. Capitalism tends to only recognize jobs on the basis of wealth, but what truly counts is being fulfilled by how we pass the hours, of being needed, and retirees have a great opportunity to find that in unexpected places. In German the word for career is Beruf, which means "calling" - that is a great way of seeing it, and finding our calling, regardless of our phase in life. But we can't always get lucky and find our calling alone, and so we should always be on the lookout to help those around us find theirs.
>If I do a 30min run every day, plus walk to work (another 30min), I spend enough calories so I can eat comfortably (still healthy).

An Olympic level athlete might burn 30 kcal per minute at their best. I would bet a regular person burns at most 15 kcal per minute while running, so that's 450 kcal for a 30 min run, and maybe a couple hundred more for a walk. People consume that in a single large sugary coffee or soda drink. You can't ignore inputs.

Yeah, same. Companies like Uber have a massive power and information advantage negotiating with their contractors (who have taken on a lot of Uber's financial risk). But commercial landlords are a whole different deal. They have seen it all, are experienced in weathering the vagaries of the market over long time scales, and are really not interested in being a sucker.

I also suspect WeWork doing deals with larger companies is not going to help them much in a downturn, because they are likely to be savvy players as well. If WeWork is threatening to default on a space, I'm sure there will be corporate office teams from stable industries saying, "Oh, we'll take that nicely built out space, thanks."
That reminds me of an ice storm around Christmas 2005 (maybe 06?). I don't think power at the house went out, but people outside of the small town where I lived didn't get power back on for a week or so. The temperature went well below zero (F) at night. I was a teen working at a fast food restaurant at the time, and I kept wondering why people would only order milkshakes after about 8 PM every night for about a week during that time. (theory: people went into town because lights are out at home, blast the heater and don't take off their jackets in the car, get warm and drink milkshakes to cool down)
Since this is likely to attract bitbucket users, I’ll toss out a question in hope someone knows:

It appears that in bitbucket enterprise cloud, there is no way for me as an administrator to prevent members of my team from making repositories public to the Internet. Is that true? If so I may need to look to on prem options, or perhaps GitHub enterprise cloud which seems to support better permissions. We deal in sensitive data so can’t risk an analyst publishing them to the net accidentally.
I guess that is good and bad news. Hopefully India and Pakistan don't try and refute the findings.

Hepatitis C vaccine also requires multiple shots (3), though no annual boosters. What's the problem?
FWIW it's not technically MS until there's been more than one incident, thus "multiple" in the name. The resultant lesions are usually visible on an MRI. Most people who have one incident to not go on to have multiple.

There's no definitive test other than this: multiple incidents of otherwise-unexplained neural compromise, verified by MRI as lesions on the myelin sheath. MS symptoms are readily addresses by steroids, unlike other similar conditions, so that can also be somewhat diagnostic.

So regardless of how good or skilled your doctor is, some uncertainty is inherent in the disease. That makes distinguishing it from other conditions difficult. If any symptoms recur consider seeing a specialist neurologist.

Source: more experience with it than I'd like.
It sounds like they're using aeroponics where possible. Of course that still requires energy, but much less so than growing in soil. There's also much less overall water use, because it's essentially a closed loop system with minimal evaporation.
I ran physical ethernet cable to my TVs when I built my house; just for this reason.

Otherwise, most placed I've lived, the cable modem was so close to the TV, that it's easier to just run a short wire instead of messing with WIFI passwords.
And IMO that's a good scenario where the State should intervene.
> Github is an example, you can always trigger the fallback SMS 2fa code.

You can setup OTP (no SMS) and either keep it as a backup, or destroy the key. I don't have SMS on Github.

Admittedly, it won't solve issues with all services. From the service perspective, dealing with users who lost their security key (or don't have a backup one) is too painful wrt to forcing you to have an alternative.
I think we're mostly in agreement.

> In the case of this post, however, my understanding was that the discussion revolved around the employee that had a full workload and refused additional work in a way that was, perhaps, too blunt for their supervisor. In this case, while the employee may be more work for their manager, they do not sound like so much work that they need to be replaced.

Yes, but we rely upon our social reading of people to understand what is really happening in the work environment.

If Bob tells you "no" to what seems like a reasonable request-- you now have a puzzle to figure out: why not? is Bob just blunt? Is Bob defiant?

Repeat this interaction, and you can come to the wrong conclusion (Bob is uncooperative) or a somewhat wrong one (Bob is blunt and doesn't care about upholding the social contract), instead of the correct one (Bob has autism and is just answering me extremely literally without elaboration).

Understanding of autism helps us understand Bob, and be empathetic and compassionate. It also helps us give the right answer when Mary comes up and says "I tried to get something I needed from Bob, [who just literally answered the question and ignored the important subtext and was brusque in his response] and he just refused so I ended up having to recreate the whole thing myself" --- while if we don't understand that and our own personal emotional memory is of Bob tending to "refuse" our requests it becomes a lot more serious.
This is a problem with reading documents without understanding the time and context they were written in. If you’re a twentysomething developer who’s never worked in a process and documentation-heavy organization, the agile manifesto will sound like it is advocating something it is not. It was a reaction to the prevailing thinking of the time.
You have a much more generous definition of elite. To me elite is somebody who has a chance to win in any race regardless of who else shows up to compete. By that definition Courtney is an elite woman, but I do not believe that she would have a chance to win UTMB overall, or Moab 240 if all the best men showed up.

> Stallman and Gnu are extremists

The word you're looking for is "radicals"; "extremists" carries connotations with violence and illegal behavior, which is the exact opposite of what Stallman/FSF stand for.

Are these views radical? Yes. But are they wrong?

The way I see it, RMS has been writing about what's wrong with the software world for decades and predicting the consequences. The industry has been ignoring this for just as long, and then people keep complaining about consequences materializing as predicted. Makes you wonder whether it's RMS that's really radical, or whether our Overton window has shifted so much that doing the right thing fell off it?
I think the points in the post are valid, but there are also things about GNU that are terrible as well. It's just that nobody is wiring GNU faults. If someone did a write up, I would expect that person to own their work as well.

My neighbor owns a consultancy. They’ve started shipping the Meeting Owl camera to their bigger clients to improve their meeting experience. It’s has a 360 degree camera, eight directional mics.

The camera stitches together a full view of the conference room up top, with the bottom 2/3 intelligently shifting the focus across multiple speakers. It will even put a whiteboard into the focus of the frame, if someone starts drawing. I thought it was pretty cool.

Disclaimer: I just thought the product looked cool after my neighbor mentioned it. Nothing more.
Shared hosting frequently scaled based on usage! They often had limited disk space, bandwidth, and sometimes even CPU cycles, and either you could pay to increase the limit or they'd bill you for overages.

> meanwhile people not on the spectrum show just as much inability to recognize these context free logical processes in order to empathize with people on the spectrum

But that's not the meat of the difficulty. It's not "context-dependent logical processes" vs. "context-free logical processes." That's be trivial to address.

It's "context-dependent, often (mostly?) irrational responses to complex social dynamics", vs. "context free, often (mostly?) irrational responses to complex social dynamics which may get erroneously re-interpreted as logical processes."

So your switcheroo isn't just a twilight zone world for the person who isn't on the spectrum. It's a vastly different type of problem of coping with the stress of complex social dynamics for the entire population, plus a higher risk of depression for the one person who would seem to have an uncanny ability to notice, predict, and thread complex social dynamics (probably similar to the way people with Hyperthymesia go through life).
Unlikely. The deep integration between JIRA, BitBucket, and Bamboo is a huge selling point.
At uni I spent two years as the president of the computer science student society. I can assure you 80% of the members could be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, going from mild to serious. Coordinating and leading in such an environment requires a different approach. Any manager running a small to medium software business/startup/scale up that does not feel comfortable dealing with aspys will not be a good match.

re: Earth AI

Discovery of unexploited mineral deposits is relatively easy already, this is not a big driver of commercial viability or mining economics. That will be a difficult part of the value chain in which to make money, the nominal value of extractable mineral is very weakly connected to market value of a deposit. A rich concentrate of valuable metals does not imply economic value in practice. Extraction economics, on the other hand, is everything and can vary widely. Most mining companies already have a huge back catalog of unexploited deposits that they do not count against reserves (and most mining companies are incentivized to lowball reserve estimates in any case).
As a daily Emacs user, I find the key-chord package [0] very useful. For example, to save a buffer all I have to press is "hu" (at the same time). It's a simple thing, but saves a little time and lessens "emacs pinky"; I use it hundreds of times a day.

I wish the agile manifesto had included a bullet point that said 'favor working code over comprehensive documentation%'

Yup. An oft-missed but crucial point.

The benefit of software freedoms isn't that everyone has to do everything themselves. The benefit is that everyone can do it themselves if they like, but they can also delegate the job to anyone else that wants to take it, like someone's friendly neighbourhood techie, or a small local business. In this way, free software actually promotes free markets, by enabling unrestricted competition on adding value on top of what free software offers (vs. locking it down and making money by rent seeking).
If you did want to salvage a "calculus without real numbers" the computables are probably more promising. All of the criticisms of the article still entirely apply to them, but there's a better chance you could come up with substitute definitions that may yield some useful concepts; they're closed on a more useful operations. I believe this is an actual studied area of math. But it's certainly more complicated than using real numbers. We may not teach, ahem, "real" real numbers to high school students, but you'll get to it fairly early in dedicated college math courses at the undergrad level.

I think this isn't meant to be about ease of use but about controls that are actually misleading. E.g. the thing that turning off the WiFi in the control center in recent version of iOS does not really turn off the WiFi, it just disconnects it (because users might forget to turn it back on).
The Yubikey requires a password by default to use the ssh key stored on it and it will lock itself after 3 failed attempts. So I don’t think your caveat is valid.

This doesn't make for a good drinking water, this creates distilled water that would drain your body of minerals if you drank it.

You now need to expend energy to gather those minerals from somewhere else and then put them in the water. Is the energy spent gathering those minerals more than other desalination processes?

That contradicts the experience of basically everyone that's ever towed anything. I'm gonna ignore a bunch of second order variables here but if you come into a turn too hot for the weight of the trailer compared to the tow vehicle the trailer can and will push the rear of the car straight (over-steer). This is exacerbated by long trailer axle spreads and short tongue length (hence why flat towing a car feels the way it does).

Maybe he just drives really conservatively everywhere (wouldn't surprise me since a light foot was key for extending range on early EVs and many people developed that habit) or maybe the trailer is just light enough and being single axle makes it easy to steer enough that the natural tendency of the car to straighten out is greater.
> However dealing with clients, has really prevented me from starting my own firm.

Some people have a natural talent for that, but for most of us this is a difficult skill that has to be learned. I doubt this is related to any disorder.

I've been dealing with clients as a freelancer and when I owned a small web dev shop. I don't think I'm particularly good at it, but at least I feel a lot more confident than when I was in my 20s.

I think the most challenging aspect is being able to know how and when to move between different "buckets" of communication styles and adapt your language. For example, it's common for clients to not tell you when they aren't understanding something and you have to react to that.

It becomes easier as you get to know a client and he gets to know you better over time, but those first meetings are always difficult, at least for me.

When I picked up a DVCS years ago I initially went for Mercurial for its ease of use. It had a clean command line interface and it just clicked with me (Git still had some bits written in Perl).
It worked very well for my small projects.
Its hgweb worked without fuss on top of Apache (which was still popular). Bitbucket was a small time site back then (about 2008) and I mainly hosted the projects locally on a web server.

However the industry has voted by putting its weight behind Git and Git has won. It has caught up usability-wise. Its performance is miles ahead of Mercurial. While its underlying model is not straightforward to grok it enables great work flows.

Honestly I'm happy with Git and never looked back.
