For sure, though the common model seems to be going in a class B building on a highway somewhere on the periphery and setting up an incredibly drab, soul crushing office. I've worked for Bell and RBC -- I've already done the soul crushing office thing.

I have absolutely no doubt that I've missed some good ones, but that's how WeWork made me interested in something that I'd put off for so long -- really nice looking interiors in great parts of town/great buildings. They are in no way a tech company, however their aesthetic and values do more closely mirror tech companies than a lot of their competitors that are low cost satellite office providers for low-tier organizations.
A couple of paragraphs of back-and-forth and we're already adding some nuance to the stats.

This is my point. The data needs to be understood and contextualised before we form conclusions as to why the disparity exists.

As for the reason to focus on gun homicide: in 93% of cases where US police use deadly force the suspect is armed with a weapon[0]. This extremely high prevalence of lethal weapons, and the immediate threat to life it implies, almost certainly contributes to the high number of police shootings.

This threat simply doesn't exist in other countries, where even if there may be a high level of gun ownership, gun use is restricted and citizens are predominantly unarmed.

Haha yes exactly. We also need to do so before a recession, to prevent a recession.

> Apple do not link your Siri information to your Apple ID, [...], they keep it only for 6 months

Are you sure about that? A quote in the article reads:

> [Apple] says it keeps recordings for six months before removing identifying information from a copy that it could keep for two years or more.
> Can anyone knowledgeable talk about what happens in a severe business downturn with We?

No. This is a known unknown.

On one hand, contracts get cancelled and WeWork defaults. On the other hand, WeWork’s aggregated buying power lets it renegotiate leases, passing the pain to landlords.
Software Architecture is vitally important to the long term success of a software system.

Software Architects are not the only way to get software architecture. They may even be the worst way.

"Software Architects who Code" often do not suffer from this issue, depending on how much they actually get involved in production software and operations. However I would struggle to define a meaninful difference between a "Software Architect who Codes" and a sufficiently "Senior Software Developer".
Random historical note -- xargs dates back to 1977 or 78 -- https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/comp.unix.questions/... has a post in 1988 from the original author saying they wrote it at Bell Labs a decade before, and that it actually predates the Bourne shell itself.

For what another anecdote is worth, I lived in Washington state for 3 months and have seen it twice. (Once in a Seattle food court). As a Canadian it was quite a culture shock.
In addition to what the other commenter said, just also feeling like it is a waste. The work isn't interesting or impactful. The money is just enough to lease freedom, but not buy freedom.

And for others, and office life in a meh climate is very different from a life of modest income but on a caribbean island.

Thank you for the thought provoking question :) Let's me think more deeply about how I feel.
(Arguably?) Powershell seems to take this approach. I have to admit, I like it philosophically, but whenever I try to use it there's some part of it that feels icky to me. It might just be microsoft's ConventionOfOverusingCapitalizationEverywhere though.

Here's an example of what powershell looks like:

Install-Module DockerMsftProvider -Force
Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force
(Install-WindowsFeature Containers).RestartNeeded
Restart-Computer

IDK, it's undeniably easier to read than the Unix version. I have to admit some part of me just doesn't love how it looks though.
I think a lot of posts here completely missed the point of the article, which is NOT about the role of architects in pure software products such as websites.

The author is talking about large defense systems like satellite arrays and airplanes. The status quo that the author is responding to is that engineers of the physical systems (missiles, satellites, etc.) make all the decisions with software bolted on after the fact. This is definitely true at places like Boeing.

You could replace architect with "senior software engineer" or whatever.

Point is, software should have some seat at the table during the design process.

The fundamental thesis of the piece is: "If, instead, system acquirers ensure that systems engineers address software concerns at the same time as the physical solution is conceptualized, acquirers can opt for a slightly different physical system, whose software architecture is tuned to optimize the provided capabilities."

Which, to me, sounds entirely reasonable. If some system needs an MLOC or so and the software will be doing a complex thing like piloting the aircraft, you better be thinking about the software from the beginning of the project...

You really don't want to put >2GB in a single protobuf (or JSON object). That would imply that in order to extract any one bit of data in that 2GB, you have to parse the entire 2GB. If you have that much data, you want to break it up into smaller chunks and put them in a database or at least a RecordIO.

Cap'n Proto is different, since it's zero-copy and random-access. You can in fact read one bit of data out of a large file in O(1) time by mmap()ing it and using the data structure in-place.

Hence, it makes sense for Cap'n Proto to support much larger messages, but it never made sense for Protobuf to try.

Incidentally the 32-bit limitation on Protobuf is an implementation issue, not fundamental to the format. It's likely some Protobuf implementations do not have this limitation.

(Disclosure: I'm the author of Protobuf v2 and Cap'n Proto.)

Except Microsoft just changed the rules of the game meaning that no one can offer Windows-as-a-service environment except them. Well, at least not at a reasonable price since they’d have to pay Microsoft a much higher license fee than Microsoft would charge for Azure.

If someone else can figure out how to offer good-enough service that isn’t dependent on Microsoft licensing, they might have a real winner.

And don’t even start on Amazon’s Virtual Desktop solution. I didn’t think it was possible to offer a worse and more unreliable service than Microsoft, until I had the misfortune of encountering Amazon’s version. Oh Holy FML.
My assumption is these investors know what they’re doing. So they’ve structured things to sell a bag to the public, arbitraging the difference between reality and regulatory requirements/what is documented generally.

A conversation about fraud often litigates whether or not omission is a form of lying.

I get that the author doesn’t like WeWork, which is fine. But the throw-away comment that there is some tertiary connection to Goop seems unnecessarily personal.

Goop is a bunch of nonsense but I’m not sure why its relevant to why WeWork is nonsense.
Many folks would likely say they've had similar experience with software/system architects. IMHO their primary role is to act as tradewinds to gently nudge the organization into a cohesive direction within their domain of expertise. So while an engineering team may not (and probably should not) accept the details of a recommendation by an architect, the likelihood is that 50 teams operating n collaboration with small team of architects are likely to encounter less friction with interoperability and tooling than 50 teams operating independently.
AT shouldn't get worse treatment than any other review site. If all the others can post detailed benchmarks or cover an event and only AT has consistent issues and bad luck at some point a pattern emerges.

I get that I can also be biased. But bias should be like noise, taking all of the articles together should average it out. In AT's case it's more like the signal rather than the noise. What really capped it off for me was not covering a public event that every other website covered, like the 2017 Threadripper launch. The signal was that they are even willing to ignore one of the most interesting launches in years to post articles about trivial motherboard announcements. I would never mind if Intel launched some awesome new CPU.

Then the confirmation came the following year, coincidentally also during a Threadripper event when they wrote multiple articles touting Intel's new 5GHz 28 core CPU. They missed the fact that it was a massive overclock chilled by an (admittedly hidden) 1HP chiller and their experience raised no red flags where even the comments did. But worse, when the bubble burst unlike every other publication AT's response was an anemic piece excusing Intel and with the literal conclusion that "the 28-core announcement was not ideally communicated".

I understand Intel's shenanigans to try to steal some of the attention that TR is getting. But as a journalist being played like that should trigger a more visible reaction. Consistently painting them in a good light just raises suspicions for me. And while I still read their articles I no longer take them or the conclusion at face value unless another big site confirms it.

Yes and no. The borrowing can prop up counterproductive spending, such as hiring smart people for government sinecures, keeping them from being creative in the public sector, etc. Also, budget dependence on cheap debt has in the past been a very costly habit for many countries when the high interest times come along again.
>These could be cashed in early if rates rise

I don't think that's how T-bonds work. You can sell them on the secondary market, but that doesn't matter to the government — it locks in the rate it sold them at.
Yeah, it seemed like sometime around when Spelunky came out was when a bunch of games (generally indie games) started coming out that were inspired by certain elements of roguelikes: procedural everything, generally designed to be played through in one sitting, "winning" isn't really the goal but rather seeing how far you can get and enjoying what happens along the way, etc.

For the longest time game journalists and people on game forums were careful to refer to these games as "rogue-lite", etc., but in recent years it's become more common to just call them roguelikes as well, even though they don't play anything like Rogue/Angband/Nethack/etc. That's fine by me, it feels more like a natural evolution of the terminology than people using the wrong words for things.
Some worry that it won't cover inflation and others worry that it is "saddling future generations with debt". It seems like they can't both be right, but we don't know who is wrong? It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future.

Could it be considered a hedge against deflation? (Or not as much inflation as you expect?)
The reason WeWork is a better offering is that they’re losing money and investors are paying for this nice interior.

This is all nice for customers, but makes for a shitty investment.

WeWork doesn’t have any real competitive advantage when you want to turn it into a healthy, profitable company. Then it will just be any other coworking space; perhaps a more fancy one, but also more expensive.

I'm not sure what list you were looking at, but I'm seeing many baby monitors for sale for under 20 dollars. And with 9 months to plan, I suspect that it is OK to get one shipped if it is not in stock locally. I'm just not sure how big the market is for people who cannot afford a monitor, yet live in homes so large that they cannot hear their baby.

I think deaf parents might be a better angle to take with this product, as it could give a non-auditory cue back to those parents.
If nearly every implementation of a technology is broken, I wouldn't blame the implementors. I would blame the technology.

Hell, Facebook basically invented reactive Javascript and they still have loading bars everywhere, broken content sections, and requires a full reload every now and again to get content to show. Reddit is even worse. Those are two major implementations of SPAs and they're both horribly broken.

It's nothing to do with if Javascript is enabled in your browser. If Facebook and Reddit, two of the most popular sites on the Internet, can't get SPA right, I'm blaming the technology.
Why build Gen 3 plants when they are on the cusp of commercializing Gen 4?
The founder already personally owned the trademark to "We" well before they made that decision? That's lucky.

In that case wouldn't he simply have to divulge that fact early on in the decision-making process? "Guys, maybe I should recuse myself on this decision since I'm in a bit of a conflict..."

Whats the most recent cutoff?
I don't really know what that $74k average number is based on, but it's nowhere near accurate for the large companies they've mentioned in Toronto (which is what matters since the article is about them).

I work for a tech company in Toronto and no single engineer in the company would make less than that (maybe some recent grads). I also know from my network that Uber, Amazon, Google, etc have been raising the average salary in Toronto.
I learned a long time ago that the default assumption for non-tech-first companies should be deep, deep incompetence, below the level of an undergrad with a decent CS degree, when it comes to basic security practice. Even having your system be Incredibly Important isn't enough to force basic competence: there were plenty of government and bank systems through the 2000s that were apparently designed and maintained by high school kids (looking at you Citibank).

By 2019, a lot of the industries running more critical systems like finance have figured out that you should take your tech seriously (and it only took them twenty years to figure it out...) ,but it's still a pretty good baseline assumption.
Would a 100 year bond be a good match for an annuity? (I guess that's what you're making reference to). 30 year bonds match the expected life expectancy of someone buying an annuity, 100 year bonds not so much.

I must have missed it before but I see it now. Excited to try it out.
7 years and 4 different companies is why your perspective is skewed. You’ve never seen a system mature at that job change rate. Therefore you have never really had to deal with decisions that impact long term which is where architecture matters.

I get everyone replying to virgins Twitter account in disgust, but let’s be honest, the person on the other end of that most likely won’t be technical, nor will there be much chance of them relaying it on. They will reply then go home for the day.

This is where things like https://securitytxt.org/ are important. Being able to go through to the team or person who knows what’s going on. But then again, if a company stores plain text passwords they most likely won’t have security.txt

Of course they can be traded at anytime. I think I’m somewhere between “why doesn’t this already exist” and “who cares”. It sounds at once both useful for creating long term assurances and highlights how different such financial choices are from common individual personal finance choices.
It may be the only strong brand in co-working spaces, but I find it harder to believe it's the only strong brand in real estate.

It's obviously a more visible brand for people working in a particular area of the tech industry than most real estate brands, but that's a different issue than brand strength in real estate.

Low regulation is a necessary but not sufficient condition for innovation. You also need the predicate technologies, precision manufacturing capabilities, etc. But within the US, where we have those things, loosely regulated industries (like the Internet) have consistently evolved faster than heavily regulated ones.
Just to be clear, I'm not discounting the work you're doing with Prophecy. We were using Databricks, and I can definitely see how a platform like Prophecy is a step up. I have a personal rule that I will always prop up any budding startup or entrepreneur (the golden rule and all that).

So huge congrats on your release!
Parsing is a minefield. General purpose computing systems are minefields.
Of all human readable formats I've ever worked with, only S-expressions have proven easier and safer to parse. Json.org even has unambiguous railway diagrams!
No. In a programming context, any norwegian or french programmer would expect that to evaluate to 1.001, not 1001 or NaN.
No junk has been added into JSON - the specification hasn't changed to accommodate those features.

Unless you need to use the feature, you don't need to know anything about it, which is a huge benefit for the majority. XML almost encourages programmers to use unnecessary features.

When an application domain chooses to add a feature (say JSON-LD) then there are advantages to that mixture over XML. Where XML is better, it is often chosen instead.
People who defend the "rights" of internal personal imagery over that of reality can get stuffed, in my book. If you didn't do the imagined deed, then it never happened.

I agree, but in your previous comment you were discussing a very specific case:

> Imagine a father accused of raping his child. The case goes to criminal court, and they find him not guilty.

> The mother thinks he did it, and she divorces the father and goes through the family courts to prevent him from having access to the child.
You do understand that this is "The SEI: The Leader in Software Engineering and Cybersecurity", and the blog post is written by the SEI tech staff?

Principle Systems Architect: write lots of non-executable articles about why an organization needs a Principle Systems Architect, and complain loudly when the executable stuff doesn't match their article, except it actually does because the article contents are obvious tautologies, but they get frustrated reading other people's code and are unable to abstract away (ignore) the real-world concrete parts needed to make a piece of work actually executable.

When the US government has a debt there is wealth out in the non-US government above what clearing the balance sheet would allow. It’s actually a measure of the governmental contribution to social wealth. The pickle is in making the other side of the balance sheet positively affect the wealth of the nation the greatest. “Or it should be.”

A surplus would be the government taking wealth in from the non-US government side. Something that sounds a lot more like governmental corruption and waste than the other option. Exactly equalling it out would make the entire economy zero sum.
I one took a trip to Mongolia in the dead of winter one year. -45 C at night, -25 C in the daytime. I hate cold, but I wanted to see life in such an extreme environment. Very eye-opening, but I was glad I had my winter hiking gear and ice climbing socks with me just to walk around town. I can't imagine how it was for people thousands of years ago.
