I can’t speak for how common it is, but in my opinion, it is not unreasonable to ask that developers have at least a reasonable understanding of how the systems that they build actually work, throughout at least the majority of the layers of abstraction that they run upon.

It is though quite unreasonable to expect experience with specific tools, unless you’ve asked for them on the job spec.

The title “full stack engineer” is a whole other can of worms, not a million miles away from this DevOps thread.
The DX7 uses FM synthesis which is all digital meaning one can more or less the same results with vastly more flexible interface (Bazille, Dexed, Operator etc.) all inside a computer software. Despite that fact this is incredibly cool and impressive!
No it isn't "like you said". You made the absolutely absurd claim that they don't make any money off it. Even if we accept the ridiculous notion that it's just brand, that's still a very valuable input.

So French users go to French media sites. I'm not really seeing the big loser here beyond Google, which is exactly why they've fought this so hard and for so long (despite, by your take, making no money on it).

This is one of the questions I want to see answered in stimulation not in real life. There is a lot of discretionary flying, but there are place whose connection to the world is plane.

You will also have route cancelations. And there will be social costs along the economical as well. All in all unpleasant situation.

It will be good to have someone that understands airplanes to comment on how severe the issue is and possible remedies.

The media have incentive to drum up the issues with boeing and be a tad sensationalist.

From what I understood it will require disassembly of quite a big chunk of the airplane. So it will be expensive and worse slow.

As a parent who has two kids who have ClassDojo, I can say that ClassDojo supports points for any teacher defined criteria. I this case I believe it was a teacher-defined point system, not the default app settings.

So while it’s all good to discuss gamification and the dark side of these things, it’s not the apps designer that decided to negatively reinforce bathroom breaks, but their app did allow the teacher to set that up.

What other user defined settings and unintended dark patterns are out there?
I'm not sure how poor those areas really were if you still saw police and cameras everywhere.

Somewhere down here, for example: https://www.google.com/maps/place/31.031362,+121.472129/@31.... Not a lot of surveillance cameras in an area where people live next to open sewage ditches. (Those don't really stand out in the satellite image, so the location is only very approximate.)
Blocking the vast majority of DoH services should be pretty easy, just like with regular DNS. I block a lot of DNS servers that aren't my own. Not all of course, but enough to not have any outgoing requests on port 53.

What is the actual safety record of the B-52, which i subjectively consider to be the safest machine in history.

How would the B-52 match up against modern commercial airliners? (Does anyone, other than boeing, even track this stat?)

The calc would be something along the lines of;

Date-of-design -> completion, testing, commissioning, hours in flight - accidents, crashes,pilot error, time in service, fuselage age, etc...

I am subjectively of the opinion that the B-52 is the greatest aircraft ever made.

In addition to the qualms about whether this sort of point system represents a movement toward a "social-credit" system, I have another question:

What the hell does this have to do with education?

I have no problem with gamefication or apps like ClassDojo, but I have to say: the teacher opting to track bathroom breaks (and even apply a penalty by dint of them) comes as no surprise to me given the bizarre norms of educational institutions. It is in the shadow of these bizarre norms that we need to consider the appropriateness of scoring systems and interfaces.

I have never understood what things like hall passes, the pledge of allegiance, and double-file-by-sex lines at doors and cafeterias have to do with learning and nurturing.

They seem unambiguously oppositional.

A 5th grader (typically a 10 or 11-year old) is absolutely old enough to understand when they need to use the bathroom, walk there by themselves, and return to their classroom, picking up context clues from a capable teacher to plug back into the material without feeling (or being) left out.

Heck, many 4 year olds are capable of this.

What is the point of education if the culture of its institutions is insistent on treating students as though they are incapable of coherent thought in the first place?

Thank you. When I read the OP article I though “this isn’t the book I read”. I remember it as you described - a managers output is the output of their organisation.
Correct - in theory.

In practice, MEPs are told who to vote for by their advisors. Who had even heard of Ursula von der Leyen until she was voted in?
This is a critical point, and it's one the post to which you replied seems to miss.

"System administrators" in the traditional sense--and I have hired many of them and consulted on the obsolescence of others--often and generally exhibit that strong get-it-working,-damn-the-consequences tendency that is in opposition to--well, none of us in this industry are engineers, but some of us aspire to engineering. Rigorous, systemic, and repeatable are the watchwords, and to that end those system administrators aren't being "screwed over"--there's a different skillset being prioritized.
I do not think that there is a coordinated effort whatsoever to disrupt Free Software communities (at least not at industrial scale, maybe there are groups of 3 or 4 people with a similar mindset doing things together, but that is the case for pretty much anything on earth...), only - and especially in this case - personal opinions and approaches I sometimes strongly disagree with. Here to the point of not even understanding from where Matthew comes from, although it is true that some Linux devs are sometimes extremely far from the "canon" free software ideologies -- or maybe simply never really thought deeply about it.

And certainly this is the case here: getting rid of freedom 0 is not exactly something I would casually suggest esp in the name of preventing fracturing; I would expect the effect to be precisely the opposite :/ And I'm not sure at all why anybody would expect otherwise.

>There are a million things incredibly unwise things I would have been far more likely to do at 17 than 27 now

Yes, I too made very stupid choices in my younger days, which could have killed me many times over. I have not however, done things that could have hurt/killed others. That doesn't make me a saint, it just means I understand the value of human life and that I have no right to jeopardize the lives of others.

These 'kids' took it upon themselves to rob a person while armed, and stab him to death. This person, named Joseph Hayes, had his life forfeit for no doing of his own, his family and friends having him removed from their lives in a most brutal way.

I think the penalty should fit the crime, if you attack and kill someone unprovoked, I don't care if you are 17 years old, or if you were in a group. Your lack of regard for other human life means you should be locked away, both in order to keep people safe from you as well as a strong deterrent. Haywood Fennell is not a victim, the person he and a group of his friends decided to rob and kill is the victim.
I think the point of bathroom passes is to prevent disruptions from students who aren’t interested in paying attention in class.
It’s not just adopting technology, but the package of lifestyle and cultural changes that go along with it. Perhaps it is “consumerism” in some broad sense—we adopt our culture quickly to our convenience and entertainment.
There are routes like this, but none with anywhere near the ridiculous schedules (16 flights per day) suggested.

> Backdooring encryption is fundamentally incompatible with privacy,

That's a very bold claim.

Lawful wiretapping exists because it is accepted (and reasonable) that privacy should stop in specific circumstances, e.g. a criminal investigation.

As I wrote before seeing this in black or white is naive. Wiretapping is useful for society. The key is to have proper oversight.

By the way, to lawfully wiretap a phone the authorities only need the phone number: The operator will then duplicate all traffic transparently and on the fly. Bugging a phone really means illegal/covert operations these days...
Sure, that's one of many excuses given for their existence.

But the underlying point, obviously, is: why are students not interested in paying attention? What is wrong with these classes? We're talking about an age group whose attention is easily kept by things that are fun, exciting, interesting, engaging.

If classes aren't that, then hall passes don't help.
I am not sure what makes this a paradox? Normally I think of a paradox as leading to a state where you have two or more contradictory statements being true at like Russell's Paradox in set theory. This just seems like a problem where you don't have enough information to solve it but once you get the info you need (how to pick random chords) you get a logically consistent solution.

Perhaps, but certainly not surprising.

This is the same language where you can't even have signed overflow without nasal demons.

Anyway, this would be a slow, standard way (not sure about best way to calculate base).

// big-endian array result
std::array<Int, 2> multiply<class Int = int>(Int x, Int y) {
// assumes radix 2, and even number of digits
int base = 1 << std::numeric_limits<IntType>::digits / 2;

Int x_1 = x % base, x_2 = x / base;
Int y_1 = y % base, y_2 = x / base;

Int z_11 = x_1 * y_1;
Int z_12 = x_1 * y_2;
Int z_21 = x_2 * y_2;
Int z_22 = x_2 * y_2;

return {
z_11 + z_12 % base + z_21 % base,
z_22 + z_12 / base + z_22 / base
}
}

The salaries of H-1B applications are public information. Here's Facebook's: https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=Facebook+Inc&job=&city=&ye...

While the work visa structure does give the employee less leverage, and I've known several people that needed to get new employers quickly to stay in the country and this probably does limit the ability of people staying on work visas to shop around and make companies outbid each other for their labor. That said I am very dubious of calling this "modernized slavery". Sort by salary, ascending, and you can see that the significant majority (over 90%) make $100k or more, and most of those under 6 figure salaries are not in the Bay Area.
What about the victim?

In recent news, gangs of youths have attacked people and killed some.

Sad to say, but locking these people up until they're old may be the best answer. (Maybe the death penalty would be better?) The wrong thing to do is to turn them loose back into society when they have a decent chance of hurting someone else.

Blockchain: Disillusionment Descends on Financial Services
There are different felony murder rules in different jurisdictions, so you'll have to be specific about the rule you're taking issue with. In California, the rule applies only to participants in the actual killing, unless the victim was a police officer. In Illinois, any killing that results from the commission of a violent ("forcible") crime is attributable to all the participants of the crime, on the theory that the criminals could have foreseen that their crime would ultimately require them to kill someone, and went ahead and did it anyways. New York has an expansive felony murder rule, but also an affirmative defense that covers the case you described: if you didn't shoot anyone and didn't know your accomplices were armed, you might not be liable.
> Her teachers add and subtract behavioral points in an app shared with her mom.

Honestly, this is way too much information. Why does a parent need to know the details of every minor issue in class?
Pretty much every synthesiser for 15 years had the same two-row LCD interface as the DX7. My first job out of university in 1995 was as assistant editor of Keyboard Review magazine (UK), and the vast majority of synths I reviewed - wonderful beasts from Ensoniq, Roland, Korg, technologically way ahead of the DX7 - had exactly the same bloody awful UI. Akai's S-series samplers, which everyone was using back then, did provide a decent display... but at a price. When someone finally made a sampler affordable by the home market (Ensoniq's ESI-32) it too had a greatly compromised display, though at least four rows rather than two.

I've always suspected this actually influenced the electronic music styles of the time. The 90s were the start of the analogue resurgence. Sure, an 808 or a 303 is a fabulous-sounding beast in itself. But twiddling knobs is just so much more rewarding and responsive than spending hours squinting at a two-line LCD.

It’s weird how people are worried about finding cancer too early. Many people die early because they don’t detect it early enough.

If the news site uses AdSense, which quite a few do, then yes. But I'm not sure if Google's extra profit is that significant. Especially when compared to the benefits the news sites get.
Most of the performance of which is irrelevent, because the apps have to run on the lowest common denominator iPhone.

This is not like Desktop PCs where a game might run at less than 60fps at a certain monitor resolution, iPhone software is more like the console market, so it's like saying you have a new PS4 model with 2x the speed of last years model. You're not likely going to notice the difference except at the edges, like launching apps are slightly faster.

Apple's fan base, prior to the A6, used to be 'specs don't mstter', but once Apple got the lead in CPU speed, now specs matter. I think for most people the former is probably true.

A faster phone doesn't make your Facebook, Snapchat, iMessage, Instagram, etc experience much better and lets be honest, people are spending the majority of time in those apps.

The 'benefit' is that it makes teachers jobs easier. If kids actively want to win points they'll conform to any behaviours defined to get them more points. There is no benefit to the kids or the parents.
Maybe it is seen and used as a tool for behavioural regulation? Most kids want approval and will follow any system to get it.

I'm not sure Commons Clause even meets those informal requirements.

You can't run Commons Clause software if you're receiving payment for doing so. You can't redistribute Commons Clause software verbatim if you're receiving payment for doing so. (As written, it even appears to prohibit selling a CD of the software for the cost of the blank CD, a service that's otherwise widely accepted as a useful community contribution.)

Because the Commons Clause restricts the situations in which you can run and redistribute the software, software licensed under it isn't free software.
Current Affairs can be a fun read (Nathan Robinson, who is an extremely weird dude, writes long-long-long-form takedowns of right-wing figures).

That’s good to know, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Is it true that SREs are more likely to have oncall rotations at Google than SWEs? That is the impression I got from reading the Google SRE book - it talks about bringing SWEs into the oncall rotation when the SREs are swamped (i.e. more than 50% of their time is devoted to operational work) as a kind of pressure release mechanism to prevent the SREs from burning out or getting mired in endless toil. It makes it sound like outside of situations like that, SREs are doing most of the oncall work.

If this is the case, perhaps the pay discrepancy is explained by the greater oncall duties and morale issues for SREs?

It’s also worth mentioning that based on my reading of the Google SRE book, very few organizations approach operations like Google does. I personally think that Google has an enlightened approach to operations, but not all companies do.

Basically, I think SRE is a good title to have, but sysadmin is not, and I encourage anyone early in their career to rebrand themselves ASAP.
