> This article seems to be extremely one-sided. They don't bring up views from the "white scientists" they blame for racism and who helped during the discovery.

Which article did you read? Because the article linked in above explicitly provides the views from Peter Piot who admits he wrote out the African researcher and by the way, admits to racism. People with bias or prejudice often have difficulty seeing data that contradicts their desired view point. It is nice to see that Peter was able to get past his prejudice, better late than never.

"
When asked if he feels responsible for writing Muyembe out of history, Piot pauses.

"I think that's a fair comment," he says. "But my book was not an attempt to write the history of Ebola, but more my personal experience."
"

Piot says at the time of that first Ebola outbreak, African scientists were simply excluded. White scientists — with a colonial mentality — parachuted in, took samples, wrote papers that were published in the West and took all of the credit.

You've given three examples, two of which are specifically chosen to highlight EU-related expenses and have qualified them with comments intended to provoke a reaction ("to be a minority voting block", "paying the best part of £600 out of their own pocket to the EU - something they never voted to be a part of anyway").

Work sample. Do you spend any parts of your days writing syntax clean implementations of complex algorithms on a whiteboard with no access to references? Because no one I know has a job anything like that.

Knowing enough about various algorithms to suggest different ones and their trade-offs in a brainstorming session when presented with a (vague) problem is something that actually happens in some jobs. That part is fine to simulate in an interview if it’s an important part of a particular job.

What most software engineering interviews should have but don’t are sections on fixing bugs and adding features in existing codebases. These are the bread and butter of a lot of jobs. But that doesn’t allow for interviewer dick waiving, so it’s pretty rare.
Most features can be covered by a few VSCode extensions like these:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yzhang.m...

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mushan.v...

Other code editors probably have similar extensions and syncing the notes could be done with Dropbox/git/whatever...

I am also surprised how well https://tabnine.com/ works with auto-completion for arbitrary notes.

I would say, as european, that all this storm of shit is good news for Airbus, but I hop on Boeing planes too, and I think competition is good news.

Boeing is maybe too big to fail, but the reputation hit they are taking may lead to companies not buying their planes, thus pushing for least competition, which is bad news for everyone.

Airbus being the kind of behemoth company it is, I am convinced that without Boeing's competition, over time, they would end up with the same practices, convinced that their aircraft sell themselves.

> Backwards compatibility isn’t as important to me as shit just working.

Backwards compatibility is about shit working! You can't have that when a program you want to use stops working because the OS broke backwards compatibility.

I have used an iMac for a long time, every time there is a new version of the OS something breaks and in some cases there isn't a way to fix it. My 2009 iMac went through several OS upgrades and pretty much half of the installed software doesn't work anymore and in most cases i cannot even upgrade - either because i bought the software outside of MAS (which didn't exist at the time i made some of those purchases), or because the developer stopped supporting the software (including some of Apple's own software - e.g. i really like iWeb, though Apple doesn't anymore) or simply because the developer doesn't exist anymore. Or i just prefer the version i have over the version the developer would want me to use (because they bloated it up, added ads or whatever reason).

Yeah, when i first started using macOS i had pretty much the same stance as you. It went away when thing started breaking left and right over the years. There is no "shit just working" if the OS breaks said shit.

(of course in the 2009 iMac's case that isn't very relevant anymore since Apple decided a 3GHz Core 2 Duo isn't enough to run their OS, but it still happens with some newer Macs i have)
Rows will always have an order, even if that order is the order they are indexed in the database, which for the purposes of a table is an implicit column. So "remove column sort" means revert to the default sort. In other words, there is no such thing as no sort: rows will always be sorted, you just choose by which column and the direction. Implicit sorts aren't a great idea, I think.
Great recommendation. My only issue with this is that they don't have a super solid solution for Material Design based grids. Now I know that is more of a problem with MD (and they note that on their theme page), but omg... once again... it is like we are back at the drawing board again.

We must have read different stories.

It's definitely not trivial, but I think a solution would be to have tests that are, to a certain extent, subjective (I don't think they end up being that subjective in Math, and they'll always be subjective in English), and then they get graded by teachers from different schools.

S1. I met a guy who was really passionate about blockchain and python. At some point, he joined a startup. They were using react-native. Within 2 months he left the job. They treated him really poorly, and no one was there to help him. Now he is preparing for gov jobs.

s2. Another young gun, who works in TCS it's been 6 months since he is last wrote a single line of code. At some point, they will throw a project at him and assume he is a top java hacker. That will solve all kinds of crazy problems.
I agree; in projects where I've used a lot of data tables, there is usually a column that makes sense as the default sort for the stakeholders, so I just make sure it is ordered by that at load and then it makes more sense to people to toggle ASC/DESC sorts.
Having researched this recently for a potential house purchase, there's a need for innovation before electric heating becomes a reality.

The standard is still storage headers and other wall mounted electrical heaters. I remember those from childhood, and how happy we were to switch to gas-fired central heating.

There are electric boilers which can power a hot-water based heating system; they are substantially more expensive to operate than current gas boilers (due to the UK price differential between gas and electricity).

My most favoured approach is an air source heat pump, and larger radiators/underfloor heating to make use of the lower temperature heat source. More expensive to install and run than a gas fired central heating system.

Perhaps in the house after next, this will be standard - or I might even be able to buy a Passivhaus.

My first job out of university was in a company that developed a GUI appication based on the Win32 C API. In fact, the product has been on the market for so long, that it's code had been a Win16 application in the past and pre-dated Win 3.1 (It is a product for a niche market, and had been the first Windows program on the market there, with all other software being MS-DOS Applications).

So, I came from university, had written Software during my master thesis with Qt, had some exposure to Gtk on my home PC a few years before, and I faced this obscure Win32 API, which looks ugly, appaling, antiquated and plainly awful.

But: Development was actually quite pleasant, and, while it didn't offer the flexibility of full-blown object oriented libraries like Gtk or Qt, it was amazingly good at getting stuff done. I wouldn't start a new project in it of course and it seems Microsoft has pretty much abandoned the API. But, I have to admit that I can see how it served Microsoft and its developer community well for a few years. In fact, a lot of things in there where quite thoughtful and I can still appreciate the non-bloaty way of doing things, if I see how many processes and memory an electron app uses that doesn't do much more than what a simple Win32 program does.
I agree. A toy widget with a simple input and output of the font would've been preferable.

This is a big point of contention. I recently had a conversation on this with someone in Marketing/Creative industry. He lives in SEA while being contracted with a Big Brand in USA. The Big Brand employs people all over the world, and they pay disparately according to location.

I asked him about fairness and he thinks it's fine. He finds that CoL should be paid according to area. When the company has a regional meet-up, he knows that people from around the region have the same capability to buy "tertiary" things, and that's a signal of fairness to him.

I'm not saying this is the right approach; just maybe a thought that companies have done this for longer than software companies.

For example, if I put in my own level on the compensation calculator of GitLab [0](Junior level, Learning The Role, FE Engineer, 0-2 years experience, living in Jakarta, Indonesia), I get $48k/year. That is pretty much the top 5% income bracket, not considering level. Entry level programmers here are paid $500-$1500 here, amounting to $18k/year at the most. That is a really large gap, and the vast majority would take it.

I wonder how many were economists.

This line of thinking is the old Malthusian catastrophy, expressed in terms of climate change instead of famine.

Malthus did some extrapolations and decided that population growth would outpase food production, causing famines. Now it is clear believe that a huge rise of agricultural productivity prevented this catastrophy. He thought the 19th century would not support more population growth and yet during the 20th century the human population grew more than ever.

Politicians and scientists need to learn to target the right problen with their policy, which is greenhouse emissions, not population growth. It is possible to increase productivity while controlling and even reducing emissions. Taxing carbon, investing RnD in greener technology, subsidising energy efficiency and banning the most poluting practices is actually more easy to implement in a non-totalitarian society than population control. With those policies the "output per ton of CO2" will increase. And also consider that reducing emissions would need a workforce, it would be more expensive to do it if a big chunk of it is used to care for elderly masses.. unless productivity rises of course.

What's new here? As an African myself I am not surprised at all. History favors its author.

Explorer David Livingstone is credited with discovering the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Despite the multitude of accounts and documentation of the locals' Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders) prior to his arrival. But hey, according to history it seems the locals had never encountered a waterfall a mile wide and hundreds of meters deep whose plunge creates a mini eternal rainforest in the area and the plunge can be heard from a distance away out of sight of the falls themselves.

But yes, it was David Livingstone who "discovered" the falls. Oh, did I mention that from his own account, he was escorted by locals to the falls?
Same here. We have a platform with multiple sellers and we use Connected Accounts. Our first integration years ago was so easy and I loved how easy it was to work with the Stripe API. When we needed to update our integration for SCA support we had the exact opposite experience. The migration guides didn't fit our previous integration, maybe because we use Connected Accounts. Also the documentation had multiple bugs and was missing information, we had to make guesses to finish our migration. On top of that we had to upgrade our Stripe.NET-package which also caused a lot of issues for us because of a lot of broken functionality (we still have issues that we need to fix).
Yes, I know, but is this the required procedure for this part? It's definitely more expensive than some visual or electrical inspections. That's why I said I'm reluctant that this is the procedure.
I'm confused as to how this is 'improper', if Facebook made this data available why are the developers at fault?

This way, you can enable hover controls only if the user is not on a touch screen or a screen reader.

I had back problems from my crappy office chair that I used for more then a decade.

This one is the hit, you can unlock the base so you can use it in different heights. The backrest pressure you can adjust with a button, different locks and full flexible arm rests.
I let everybody test sit on it who cares and I only heard excitement so far.

Combined with electric table I started to change my working position quite often and my back pain was gone after a month.
No, I think it should toggle between ASC and DESC, as it does.

Now, one thing that is very important to me: The sort should be stable. So, for example, I should be able to sort by successively by track number, disk number, album, and artist, to get a view that is sorted by artist, album, disk, and track.

Unfortunately, some views (eg iTunes list view) don't obey that.

Hello moderator, i noticed that you keep deleting the original post( https://humanbioscience.org/2019/11/swarms-of-microrobots-cl... ) Is there anything wrong with the webpage or article
Thanks - you certainly made a good point. But there's one problem with enforcement of explicit sort and this the problem I constantly have with my projects.

By default, most tables that I have are sorted by "created_datetime" but this is the column that won't be shown to the end-user since most of the time it is redundant information for them. If we're implementing explicit sort, I need to add an additional column which would be useless to them.

Having the ability to easily reset back to default sort makes everything so much cleaner as an end-user (for me). I won't have to experience another "How the heck do I go back".
Yep. Doesn't even feel so different from using error first callbacks. I had to go back to using them for something recently, and feel like most of my problems back then stemmed from excessive deep nesting, and overreliance on the closure scope. Don't get me wrong I love the Promise api, but if ts were popular pre-Promises, we wouldn't have had half the issues with callbacks for concurrency. You'd be able to type functions that take callbacks, know what errors they can receive, see if anything's out of scope or misused, etc
I don’t know if this is entirely correct for all circumstances. It’s possible that a source known for complete fabrication of facts may display a very unbiased looking content; it’s just that none of the content is real. Like The Onion. It’s also important to note sources for their biases so you may be able to discern what facts are being intentionally left out of an otherwise comprehensive content.

Perhaps some mix of both is necessary?
Did we? I was happy with my phone back then. It made calls and received SMSes. Having to use T9 was not so good but not even so bad.

Of course my phone does much more now, calling and texting being the least of it. I wouldn't go back ( * ), but I also won't go back to the cars of the 70s. This doesn't mean I hated my dad's car.

Apple invented a new phone which is not a phone as intended before 2007 and one that people liked. That's why they got so successful.

HP and Xerox are probably still good at what they used to do (I'm happy with my ZBook and LaserJet) but they are probably not where the bulk of the market is nowadays. So they seem to be fading away.

(*) Except that phones got so light and small around 2000 that they could almost fit in a closed fist and I'm missing that.
