This can apply to many situations involving technical debt in software... is it really more effective to do many unseemly hacks rather just fix it properly?)
I noticed that my iPad mini 2 finally falls off the list, but that thing is somewhat ancient.

However, my Thinkpad X220 (maybe circa 2011?) still runs Windows 10 and Ubuntu, allowing it to stay up to date on security patches. In a way, Apple's support levels are only impressive because we're inured to quick device expiration in other contexts (e.g. phones).
The funniest part is when they reach out almost immediately after eliminating a candidate, for the same job. Like their recruiters aren't even coordinated. I'm sure they farm some of that out.
and soon, people will be scared to even consider going for a jog without a device like that on their wrist.

I’ve always been having bad experience trying to fix one major thing in my life which is my terrible credit score of 412 for about a year now but always have to go through online scammers one way or the other, I couldn’t get a loan, Business associate were avoiding doing business with me anymore due to my low credit score neither could I get a new home and also Four (4) Credit cards debit including mortgage bills . Until a friend of mine (Sandra) referred me to a credit specialist who changed her life GREG REPAIR, I had a heavy thought inside me and not trying to fall victim anymore. I contacted him at GREGREPAIR @ techie Dot Com or + 1 424-800-3201 we spoke for couple minutes, he requested for my information which I gave, he told me within 6 working days everything will be fixed. I made part payment for the job which was so affordable. Now I own the business of my choice, I’m into Fashion designing , I’m now a house owner , Companies want to associate and bringing up business , all card debits cleared I’m living happily all thanks to GREG, what would I have done without him. You’re in this State GREG is a perfect Solution... Smiles

I second this. asdf is awesome! It works for all major languages.

In case of Python, I use asdf to install the needed interpreter version and I use pipenv to create/handle the virtual environments. It's a perfect combo.

In contrast to "not-so-snappy actions"? Snappy actions.

As I tried to say before: Instantaneous feedback is great (even necessary) for first time users. But once I get used to an app, waiting for the termination of a loading indicator is just as annoying as waiting for {page|script}-{load|parse|eval}.

Edit:
> This idea is not in the least bit controversial.

I agree that content generation in one-digit milliseconds is not controversial.
Well that seems to follow from dominance hierarchies and we tend to gravitate towards activities we excel in or have a good chance of excelling in, because we get innate enjoyment from being better than average at various things. And that is deeply wired in our psychological system.

So sure, if you're not skilled or naturally gifted in sports, there are other paths for you to achieve excellence. And that's perfectly fine.

Truth is, the vast majority of the people bullying you eventually dropped out of sports as they tried to climb the hierarchy themselves, whether in high school, college, or later. Society can only have so many pro sports players and so it goes. At least you got a head start on finding yourself and alignment with your interests and better talents.

So this caused me to have to reinstall the OS yesterday. Glad to know what the issue was.

Looks like some situations AVID requires SIP disabled for external video cards?

So dumb. Why do companies pull this crap instead of fixing their issues with the vendor instead of leaving their users vulnerable
It's coincidental: the first widespread reports of this were from Hollywood editing shops: https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/avid-mac-pro-corrupted.... This lead to the initial presumption that it was a being caused by a bug in AVID.

The reason the AVID community popped it first seems to come down to the fact that this is their busy season, so a lot of their machines were active last night as this Keystone update was rolling out, editors for whatever reason (technical issues or superstition) reboot their workstations fairly often, and, crucially, a lot of editing workstations are using third-party GPUs that require them to disable SIP (whether this is particular to AVID or just an intrinsic property of using the Mac Pros with third-party GPUs, I don't know).

>"brain differences", which really isn't born out by the article. It seems highly likely that these preferences are socially constructed.

What we do and experience in our life shapes our brain. So anything that says "brain differences" without further detail is at best pop neurology.
Reminds me of a controversy at my University. They were advertising a new English professor position, starting salary $37k. They also had an opening for an economics professor position starting salary $85k.

My economics professor addressed the reason for the difference in class very simply. He noted there were over 350 applicants for the English prof position. Only 3 people applied for the economics position.

So if anything, $37k was too high for English and $85k was not nearly enough for econ.
I remember reading something years ago about how the Saudi's have always over reported the amount of oil reserves they have and the quality of the crude oil.
Not really. All those other services require the person to hit a button to trigger it, which they can't do while unconscious. The Apple watch called automatically on its own.
I had a hunch.
> I would say in general, unions in Europe are viewed in a much more positive light.

It depends on the country. When I lived in Poland my father complained a lot about his union (Solidarność, he worked as an industrial electrician), as the management was mostly old people who did as little as possible to not lose their position, and did nothing outside of being in the union (they were retired). You would have a hard time outvoting them because you'd need to get a certain number of votes from multiple plants, around a thousand of people in total - campaigning alone would take most of your time, on top of doing your work. I haven't heard many positive stories about unions to be honest, and I lived in upper Silesia, the most industrialized region - where there were lots of them.
All of those services rely on manual intervention from staff in a call center.

If any of those services have reached the point that the end device can detect an emergency and contact local emergency services by itself, then they've done a terrible job of advertising that functionality.
As well as what the sibling commentors have pointed out, Life Alert also never bothered to partner with a company that would put their system into a piece of consumer-electronics that the average healthy (maybe even young) adult would buy for themselves. Nobody wants to wear a LifeAlert bracelet and a watch/fitness-tracker; they want their watch/fitness-tracker to just have that functionality. And so they make a choice, and end up dying in a ditch somewhere.
Healthcare should be publicly run. It should not be a business. It is toxic because it is a business.
The state did, but who elected the people making the decisions? Whose candidates were they? It's obvious from the facts that the officials were acting in the interests of the unions here. What interest does a mother have to pay union dues so she can take care of a family member? What state interest is served?

The specs for the watch specifically rule out heart attack detection, by the way.

Why should healthcare be provided by your employer, and not your government?
As a younger man I took pride in not needing any technical assistance to get around in the world. Now in middle age, and with a diagnosed electrical-type heart problem, I'm pretty happy to have the gizmo help me out. This makes those rare times when I do venture out without any tech on my person particularly pleasurable; I feel like I'm getting away with something naughty and yet all I'm doing is being an unassisted human. If jogging with a health monitor is normalized, well, that's ok with me.
Because advertisers would lose tracking people which would make very hard to measure ad effectiveness. Also, ad tech co would lose tracking which would make it harder to profile peoples behavior on line.
Yes, I know. The TCF is a technical infrastructure, and as such doesn't address my concern. It only comes into play if the industry actually starts taking informed consent seriously. That's the part that I'm doubting.

> The enforcement comes from regulation.

Indeed. It appears that strong legislation is the only realistic solution -- but that seems doubtful to me as well, since the big players have been, and will likely continue, working as hard as they can to ensure that any legislation will be token at best.

The article says that it was a consideration when he bought it.
Oh, wow.

I've been in the industry for over 20 years. I even worked on SQL Server Analysis Services for 5 years (up to 256-dimensional 'cubes' in the early 2000s)... and I never thought of joins in this way. Granted, MDX was a beast in its own right.

Cue discussion about self-taught vs college educations. I've got advantages being self-driven learner... but I've definitely missed out in some regards.

Non-cumulative line charts. As usually is the answer to that question.

As a bonus, you can break line charts by line, and you can zoom parts of it.
AFAIK pre-nextstep Objective C was also a very simple layer over C that only had "id" as a type with things like protocols, etc being introduced later by next.

Usually not because large clients are worried about contractors being classified as employees.
I do have a horse in the race. Not the one you might think, but as a paramedic/firefighter, I'm not sure you can argue that "attempts to verify (human or otherwise) that there is a medical incident before dispatching EMS" is automatically worse than "calls 911 from the device automatically".

> If any of those services have reached the point that the end device can detect an emergency and contact local emergency services by itself, then they've done a terrible job of advertising that functionality.

They all have (see my sibling comment about Automatic Fall Detection), and I agree.
Can't read the article, even through the web link above.

It makes me think based on the title that lots of new college hires must be making insane amounts of money right out of school. What happens say, 10-15 years down the road when being a good developer won't cut it and you either go into management or IC it somehow?

I don't think everyone can do that because as you move up there are fewer positions. Also, there are new college grads right behind you willing to do what you're doing for way cheaper. Even if you've kept up with your skills it seems like it's easier than ever to pick up new skills due to democratization of learning.
>For one thing, Waze is using the actual speed of drivers instead of the legal speed limit to determine the travel time of a route.

So what should Waze do? Lie about how long a route will actually take, and pretend like the person is going the speed limit?

There's no market. You can build it, but so far, they don't come.

Honda's Asimo. Boston Dynamics's Atlas. Schaft's humanoid (probably the best one to date). Deere's legged logging machine. All never got beyond a few prototypes. None of them work well enough to do anything useful.

I used to work on this stuff, back in the 1990s. I have two patents in that area. (The big insight is that legs are for traction control - you can mess with the contact normal in useful ways. As soon as you get off flat terrain, traction control dominates the problem.)

I could never see a market for legged machines. Too expensive for toys. Not useful enough for much else. Boston Dynamics has gone from sugar daddy to sugar daddy for decades - first DARPA, then Google, then Softbank. Today, they finally launched a product, their cute little all-electric Spot robot.[1] No price given.

JS is single-threaded right so (...I think...) deadlocks are actually impossible. Although I guess you can still get stuck if two pieces of code are waiting on each other to satisfy some condition (and trading control of the sole thread) without using explicit locking.

It's fair to say that oil consumption has been increasing both because the price has been declining and because of increasing industrialization. But you can see pretty clearly on that graph that whenever the price spikes, consumption then drops. Supply and demand is in effect.

And for most of the period on that graph, we didn't have the alternatives we do today. When oil prices spiked in 1979, people bought smaller cars that got better mileage, but they still ran on petroleum and used gas stations, and then people started buying petrol SUVs when gas prices came back down. If that happens in 2020 then people buy electric cars rather than econoboxes, and then we get more charging infrastructure and more battery research and economies of scale, and there would be no obvious advantage in ever switching back even if oil prices subsequently declined to their current level.

> All this async code without decent locking primitives is leading to a rabbit hole of race conditions...

I haven’t seen this happening. Maybe it’s because I tend to use Node for web apps too much, which don’t have much shared state within Node to begin with? That it’s single-threaded does matter immensely, though, because if you have shared state that can be updated synchronously, you just write the code and know that it runs as a unit.
