...actually, there is one part of programming which already fits that description perfectly: Tuning some badly-performing SQL.

Seriously, look at the EXPLAIN of a complicated postgres query - hash joins, index scans, bitmap heap scans, materializing intermediate tables, and so on - it does the described conversion of high-level SQL to some really complicated code, and someone with in-depth knowledge can later use the plan to tweak the database or query to improve performance.
grammatically correct title I suppose
MS employee here. No joke, the Microsoft of today is like a 180 from the Microsoft of even 3, or 5 years ago.

Satya Nadella has been on a long-term campaign to transform the culture in some pretty inspiring ways, to be honest. It's led to the departure of long-time fixtures in leadership--the most shocking of which was the head of the Windows team (remember the agonizingly pushy nature of the Windows 10 rollout?). Today, there is no "Windows" team anymore, as they've been absorbed under the "Experiences and Devices" group. And increasingly, open source and embracing of other technologies has become a shocking priority (the decision to move to Chromium-based browser was especially shocking, but on further thought, consistent with Satya's philosophy).

So, yeah! I'm pretty optimistic of Microsoft's future. It's going to take some time to shed a lot of the old image it earned under Bill Gates in the 90's and Steve Ballmer more recently. But in my opinion, I think the company has by now earned what will likely take a few more years to become more apparent to the rest of the world. Basically, the CEO didn't just transform the company from a Windows-based business to a Cloud service provider; he absolutely moved to change the culture as the foundation for that move.
Yeah sorry, the reason this matters is that the ipod had just come out and he saw the next step was a phone.
Rider is really nice for c# - runs quite a bit better than vs
Yes, probably with all the problems that are highlighted in the comments below that I’m not going to repeat.
This seems to me a serious over-engineering problem.
Why they didn’t think to use the battery swap in probably one of the few use cases where it makes sense?
Those companies aren't that different than the dot-com era companies.

Upgrading to ios 13 and realizing they broke find my iPhone. It used to be I would log in to find my wife’s phone the half dozen times a day she’s forget where she put it. Now... I have to go to iCloud.com in a browser... another irony- her credentials are stored in my passwords whereas the old find my iPhone had no option but to forget credentials...
Oh you've gotten that too?

The last time I stayed in an Airbnb house I got a laundry list of accusations. I challenged them as well. (They even went as far as saying that I used too many rolls of toilet paper that weekend) It's a good thing I'm not easily embarrassed.
I think it would converge to a similar value rather quickly. Someone with access to fast hashing would vastly overtake the crowd and keep his #1 spot until a bigger fish appears.
Have you noticed that immigration laws are more strictly enforced than in the past? As a citizen, I would hesitate to ever encourage any immigrant to violate any law or rule regarding immigration. You never know what might happen in the far future.
Sort of. That cover was designed to increase the battery life of the device itself- it didn't work as a detachable keyboard, and it was very bulky, like you mentioned. I'm thinking something more like a button cell that would get you a day's worth of unattached work simply as a wireless keyboard, then recharge when it's clipped back on at night.
Progress before people.

While the Industrial Revolution is the accepted era as the real beginning of progress before people, I feel the new age of technology will make the Industrial Revolution look like an humanitarian endeavor without a PR team, in comparison. In 2 or 3 decades, we'll look back and at the Industrial Revolution as good old times, even with all its utter failures.

I'm sad to see that people don't see beyond modern PR. Even with the recent Silicon Valley scandals and failures... people say they don't believe in religion... but they traded one religion for another. They all pray and tithe to the silicon valley titans and think that's okay.
Usually you can be held if you’re a threat to yourself or others. Which is probably what got you taken to the ED in the first place.
Scroll performance in these scenarios is perfectly fine on an iPhone. I also tend to have hundreds of tabs up in Safari, not that I condone working that way...it's a sickness. Alas I've recently learned Safari's limit is 500. It's cumbersome but you can zip through them quite fast.

You seem to be describing a deficiency with your platform or your hardware, not with "mobile."
Not sure that it's necessarily great. I love my home country and all but I hate that I don't have the same freedom of movement other Nationals seem to have just by birth no matter how hard I work for it.
Weird, my Airbnb experiences have almost all been awesome. So much better than hotels in my opinion
They are experimenting with fees paid totally by Hosts now, as in Booking.com.

At the end it's always the guest who puts the money on the table but it may be less painful as you don't see it.

Ultimately the problem is that the fees are too high considerig the service provided by the platforms.
Yep I love Airbnb as a much better alternative to hotels

There's a rule it shouldn't be higher than 10%. In India, nobody I know charges a cleaning fee.
Well if it's helping you socialize, don't take that advice. Everyone's different. I'd ditch it if I could (for work reasons, for me and for my spouse, I cannot) but then texting is the most technological thing I really need to keep in touch these days, and maybe the occasional e-mail check-in or phone call, and entertainment and diversion's laughably abundant even without it so that's not a concern. If I were finding meetups and such on the Internet that'd be different.

I won't claim it's impossible, but... olfaction boils down to a small molecule protein interaction, similar to drug discovery. The scales in question are far too small for typical imaging devices; these objects are far smaller than the wavelength of visible light. CryoEM and X-ray diffraction are used in these domains, but don't apply in the manner you appear to have in mind. I suppose CryoEM technically counts as "clever use of a camera" though.

No, it's just cheaper to cut power (doubly so when you ask the state to pay for it and just pocket it) than it is to actually do the work of maintaining the safe gaps between power lines and trees.

The statistics don't bear this pessimistic hypothesis out. Global wages have increased faster over the last 20 years than at any point in history, and the global poverty rate has declined at similarly unprecedented rates.

Globally there has been no change in income inequality either.
For a lot of people the thinking will go "ah DoD uses Azure so it is safe to put pur own valuable stuff there". But is the DoD contract actually using the same Azure infrastructure as everyone else or is it running on a physically separated Azure platform with staff w security clearance?
I ran a computer and network security course back from 2010-2013 and the simplified version of this was part of our wargames. The difficulty scaled with recency of the last commit.

Admittedly we had to minimize the number of points awarded for this as it'd be a "money for marks" conversion otherwise but it was fun enough to prove a concept.

Nth commit needing N leading zeros ups the ante a fairly hilarious amount ;)
Good point. Democracy works as its best when the masses are educated, otherwise it looks more like a dictatorship acting randomly.

I don't know about India as I haven't been there in years but that certainly rings true to me as I reached the same conclusion while staying in many other countries around the world.
After OS X, has anybody ever switched back to Windows from a Mac OS for daily use (i.e. not for a specific application that is only available on Windows)?

I don't even want to look at Windows now. It's so unsightly in a way that you don't notice until you switch away.
What is the alternative? Our brains simply cannot cope with an endless sea of fresh faces, each of them requiring an acuqaintance effort, only to disappear in the mass of unfamiliar faces within minutes. The known-host / fresh-guest model lessens the burden, as the host becomes a known quantity after a while. With their temperament, leanings, quirks, idiosyncrasies and all that. Conversely, I've observed myself following a certain guest through a string of hosts, which ended up working well as a host discovery mechanism, better than browsing through random youtube recommendations. Note to self: patent this.
OYO too, they raised 1.7 B.
It might surprise you but a healthy utility doesn't spray the environment with sparks.

The main risk is high winds swinging the lines and trees far enough to contact, the resulting short can cause fires.

For this reason there's a standard for how far back trees should be trimmed for safety. Said standard was an excuse PG&E made for an additional funding request. When funded they didn't do the work, but instead paid a dividend.

So now we have richer stock holders and a utility that's decided to turn off the power instead of trim the trees.
It's probably more likely that you just grew up and the things you found exciting then you don't find exciting now. Because you could just do those things now without going on the internet! They're separate things.
Human perception of brightness is almost entirely cued off green levels. #0000FF (ie full blue) simply isn't very bright. #0000FF contrasts far far far more strongly with #FFFFFF than it does with #000000. This is true even for (most types of) color blind individuals. There might be a color blindness that cues hard on blue levels but I can't speak authoritatively in that area.

If you define brightness as (r+g+b)/3 you're doing it wrong. NTSC defines brightness something like .7g + .25r + .05b. (I forgot the exact numbers, but it's really extreme) JPEG assumes something a lot less extreme, but still >.55 green.

Source: I had to implement a saturation function for work and assumed brightness is (r+g+b)/3 and it looked like fucking garbage. In fact image/video compression is full of hacks like this. 4:2:0 is dominant in the video compression space for a reason. Human brains simply don't give a fuck about the color blue.
2) Right click - print

Your points wouldn't convince me actually.
I've been in the middle of the opposite. All numbers are synthesized. Founders set up company, initially fund it themselves, take some rounds of investment with preferred, gives up some control. Company runs low on cash, finds new investment from "trustworthy" investors, all preferred. The founders hit 49%, the investors gain control, and make a purchase offer for the precise value of the preferred shares to themselves, which they decide to accept. All common shareholders are instantly out in the cold, with nothing (including the founders, who were utterly screwed).

The first thing they did was fire the founders, of course.

So...foolish founders? Yes. But wait! Foolish investors? YES!!

Because they absolutely screwed every employee, almost all the employees walked the afternoon we were informed.

I've never been prouder of the people I worked with. I think there were four people (tech support/admin) left out of 20 or so. Hard to remember now...so long ago.

For several hours the shitball investors were exceptionally proud of themselves...and then they realized they'd bought a pile of PCs they had no idea how to use. Plus bonus shitty furniture! And goodbye investment, of course.

We all formed a new company within a few weeks. The original founders somehow got money to get us started again...which we did, from absolutely nothing. We rewrote a similar product suite (but better!) in about 9 months, and went to the next big industry show with it.

Shitball investors found out, and promptly sued us (mild shock), claiming without evidence that we must have stolen the code on the way out. Since I was there for every single line of code we wrote the second time around, it was infuriating.

The ball bounces through the courts...they continued to harass us...and all does not necessarily end well.

In any case, don't lose control ;)
Never seen it. Founder shares are common shares so it’s in their interest to preserve the value.
Flipkart has already had a successful exit. Though if I'm honest, I don't see a path to profitability for PayTM and Ola.
>There is ZERO reason a large company with resources can't make sure that things like this don't happen

The fallacy that if you have a lot of resources, you can make a good product is repeated over and over again and it's easy to see why. But the fact is that making high quality is hard, very hard. You can't just hire your way out of it. You can't just spend on tools or whatever. A small-ish team of talented people that work well together (that last part is important and not trivial at all) can accomplish amazing things. A dysfunctional team or organization can easily get stuck in a rut that is next to impossible to improve, no matter how many resources you throw at it.
This! Somehow I feel that the desktop UX model of 90s were actually conceptually much better than what most modern apps are doing and it's a shame that instead of doing incremental improvements on that (sure, it's far from perfect) we've thrown out the baby with the bathwater.
The CISC just became RISC on the inside thing is greatly overstated.

CISC always decoded to simple more or less single cycle ops internally, that's how microcode works. The RISC shtick was to get rid of that decoding into simple ops in the first place. Originally that didn't make sense because those ops' fetch bandwidth would be competing with data bandwidth. But notice how RISC popped up the same time as ubiquitous instruction caches? They solved the same problem in a more general way; the I$ means that your I fetch isn't competing with data on hot paths. You can also see this in how all of the early CISC archs would have single instruction versions of memset/memcpy/etc. The goal here is to get the cycle by cycle instructions out of the main bus data path by sticking them in microcode.
My biggest hurdle is what Steven Pressfield calls the resistance. I come up with project ideas, get started and then start procrastinating. Coming back from the working and getting to work on my side project tops the list of hurdles, UI/UX is at the second place but far from the top.
In colder climates you must heat the greenhouse, which probably generates CO2. I say "probably" because a heat pump run on renewables is possible, but not likely.
Ather Energy will have stiff competition from Bajaj's new offering. Bajaj already has decades of manufacturing experience, tons of capital, and a trusted brand name.
> I can't have it both ways. I would not be on Gmail if it was like yahoo.

I still use Yahoo e-mail for chit-chat (I doubt that it's less secure). Recently it started spam-boxing e-mails from a person I've corresponded with for years (without trouble). Since I have them forwarded to T-Bird, it does mean I have to visit Yahoo more often.

Maybe that's the goal?
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted as the point you’re bringing up is a legitimate one.

If the assessment of 2 vendors finds them equal in most regards wrt the requirements, that’s when you look at somewhat unrelated factors to make the call. In this case, it’s entirely plausible that the DoD considered the fact that MSFT would be pliable to their concerns as a deciding factor.

He advanced a long-term goal that I agree with (disengagement from Syria) in a manner I found stupid and immoral (abandoning the Kurds with no security guarantees and leaving potentially tens of thousands of IS prisoners free to escape).
Perhaps with you, but looking at the market share he is mostly right.
I don’t think a one variable comparison like that is at all useful.
The implication is that the new Republic wouldn’t secede peacefully (not unreasonable, considering what happened the last time it tried seriously) and will be on its own for a little while.

What you're describing is GC-MS, which indeed returns a spectrographic signature that is used to identify a molecule. As noted by @Terr_, that tells you what a molecule is made of but not what shape it is. That being said, the smaller the molecule the easier it is to accurately predict what shape it will be. When computational methods become questionable, you move on to NMR (and a whole host of other techniques).

The real issue here is that olfaction involves a small molecule interacting with multiple different proteins for your body to "read" it. We're not so great at the whole predicting drug-protein interaction thing just yet - some closely related fields include virtual screening, molecular dynamics, protein crystallography, X-ray diffraction, and cryoEM (among others).

Ditto. I love my MBP, it's still tottering along after 10 years (!), but it's on its last legs. the keyboard fiasco had me thinking that maybe my next backpack computer might not be a Mac...and then here comes Catalina with no 32-bit support and App Store-onerous requirements to get software signed, and fuck that.

MS' Surface Books look pretty cool. Or maybe I'll just get a bigger backpack and tote my 17" gaming laptop around.

Yes. Other countries, particularly the "five eyes" are already deeply engrained with the US military, and they are rich countries with lots of money.

Five Eyes: USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand

Then you have all the other wealthy countries with close ties to the US: Germany, Japan, etc.
It really says something about the underlying issue that caused that, how the relevant managers devolve into I told you sos and ownership fights rather than getting in a room and leaving with a cohesive plan that their individual teams will execute on.

I really really hope the Indian "startups" aren't closet selling $2 for $1. Given the slew of discounts, cashbacks, and offers, I am left to wonder if at the cost of growth, the fund management has gone to the wolves.

The Indian consumer is very fickle and always shops for cheapest alternatives and looks for the best deals. I'm yet to see any kind of loyal behaviour, though, I must say, they prefer to trust only the bigger brands (in terms of presence) when they do occasionally spend big.

Another symptom is a lot of businesses acting like software startups riding the wave, when in reality, as a reductionist argument, could be simply classified as companies that get mobile and internet.

It also isn't uncommon for the business to exploit the low income wage structure to improve margins. Worker rights, contractor rights, in this gig economy is absent.

That's not to say some of these startups aren't delivering real value. They are... but race to the bottom seldom ends well for countries plagued with corruption, income inequality, and unemployment; and burderned with looming humanitarian crisis.

In my personal opinion, businesses serving other starups / enterprises (Zscaler, Cloudflare, Brex, Stripe, GitHub, slack, aws et al) remain the most secure of the current lot.

I don't think this disproportionate infusion of captial is going to end well: There do exist super valuable businesses but I highly doubt if they can justify their hype when they do go public. The investors are usually smart, but I hope they don't get dragged into hopeless optimism or become desperate.

Some engs and mgrs arguing the Indian market is better than Canada are overestimating their monetary gains and grossly underestimating the environmental, political, and societal benefits, imho.
