Polish and refinement. Ruby's expressiveness and clean design make possible a level of elegance in Rails that I haven't seen in any other web framework. Ruby lends itself to DSLs much more than most other languages, Clojure excepted, and its meta-programming makes possible a number of shortcuts which help you to get a project up and running in record time. Add to that the magnitude of commits to the Rails project over its 14-year history and you have an ideal tool for SME web projects.
I find that when I try cutting out sugars and refined carbs I get quite fatigued and find it more difficult to function. That is already on top of poor quality sleep I get.

I end up with cravings for sweet foods to boost my energy and will often find an excuse to go buy a couple bags of sweets so I don't feel so drained of energy.

Do you have any recommendations I can use to cut down on my high glycemic food intake?

Almost none. It exists but not in any large numbers because illegal immigrants can't work, get bank accounts, drivers licenses, go to schools, etc...

If you're a business owner and hire illegal immigrants, you risk up to 2 years jail time personally and a $50k fine. So almost no one takes that risk.

The few that are here illegally generally come legally, overstay and have family to harbour them.

And keep in mind I'm in an industry that, in the US, is known for employing illegal immigrants (restaurants). In 17 years, I've never seen one nor heard of anyone hiring them. I'm sure it happens in a few ethnic enclaves but it's definitely not typical.

I read a statistic somewhere that California alone has more than 10x as many illegal immigrants as all of Canada.

Of course I should also add, we do of course allow more legal immigration per capita than the US, many irregular border crossers are granted temporary status while their cases are processed and in general our bureaucracy seems less insane than the US'.

Ok but where will that talent go? Countries will just get someone else to start a firm and support it. It's an arms race and you're blaming defense contractors for supplying arms!

The people with power to be hostile to exploit devs who sell their talent to the highest bidder are the same people who are bidding for that talent. So long as NSO group and others dont harm the interests of countries protecting them they will always be in demand.

If even the entire west punished developing exploits for money a high crime, at best you give business to chinese,russian and indian companies. At worse, western devs move to other coubtries or simply sell exploits illegally without getting caught...to non-western entities.

The only way to beat this sort of a problem is to compete with demand. But that means competing against resources of nation states. Perhaps international treaties to control this arms race would help?

And yes, I know at best there are only a few hundred people with enough talent, but I bet you there are even less nuclear bomb scientists and you know how that supply/demand is turning out...
My mind goes back to QWERTY v/s Dvorak and how it panned out.

Sometimes the new system isn't better so there's no reason to switch... AFAIK, Dvorak is not better than QWERTY (despite claims to the contrary).

I worked in IT at a hotel company when they made the cutover from a 3270 based text system to an early 90's modern Windows GUI -- agents hated it, even with command shortcuts it was slower than the old interface. Training new agents was faster, but experienced agents were much slower.
They left it to governors to choose them, and allow anyone to invest in them.

Many countries have free trade zones with similar characteristics. The whole point is to increase transactions themselves, if your country can only gain consensus by selling something as “poor people, jobs numbers” that has nothing to do with what’s written in the law and the utility of what’s written.

This is a very naive question, but can someone give an example of a breakthrough in non-STEM fields? Because now that I've been thinking about possible examples, maybe psychology etc., all fields are inherently a form of science, right?
Meanwhile General Motors is way ahead.
Congress may get into petty squabbles over issues like farm subsidies or trans rights, but they are generally agreed on the status quo of the current United States economy. There is bipartisan support for unfettered corporate control over wide sectors of the economy and public resources.

I'm not saying that both sides are the same here. I'm saying that what Chuck Schumer wants for his class and what Mitch McConnell does are broadly the same. Chuck might pay lip service to his constituents by opposing tax increases, but at the end of the day both would still vote to increase the defense budget, vote against Medicare-for-All, vote against expansion of welfare and entitlements, vote against most things that would make life easier for the struggling majority in this country.

The exceptions, like Sanders, Warren, Ocasio-Cortez, etc., are just that, exceptions. We often forget just how ridiculous and absurd both Sanders and his positions were viewed in 2015 when he first entered the race.
France doesn't export its nuclear waste.
In the abstract...

An alternative hypothesis for why group X (and not Y) dominates field Z, is that members of group Y who are good at Z usually are also good at other things, which they usually prefer, while group X disproportionately contains people that are only good at Z. So it's possible that most Z's are X even though they are on average less able and without unfair discrimination.

Lots of clever ideas about catching robocallers with technology here. But I don't think that technology is the solution.

You can't seriously be suggesting that we care whether a title says "NSO" instead of "NSO Group"? I've added "Group" above to make the point, but please let's not bother with corporate nomenclature nitpicking. Anyone who recognizes "NSO Group" will recognize "NSO", except maybe subscribers to the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra.

That was really the defining philosophy of the Cold War nuclear threat escalation; total extermination of millions of civilians in as short a time as possible.
Regardless of what they might feel (which, contrary to your assertion, has yet to be proven) the actual threat posed by a middle-aged man who once wore a MAGA is essentially zero.

Protecting participants against actual harm and harassment is a legitimate reason for revoking a person's ticket to an event. Trying to pretend that you don't have to share a country with millions of people who voted for its sitting president is not.

The appropriate standard for self-driving cars is a sober professional driver, not the average idiot on Saturday night. It isn't unusual for a driver to go a million miles without an accident, when that's their job.

I don't see how this is true, especially in engineering? My experience is that there is rarely a formal mentoring relationship but mentoring happens all the time.

Why are people so committed to the idea that self-driving cars are anywhere near human standards? It just seems like a groundless assertion of faith to me.

Professional drivers can go for a million miles without an accident, and I don't believe anyone's autonomous driving software can get within an order of magnitude of that without a disengagement, even in favorable conditions.

You may disagree that a disengagement is equivalent to a human having an accident, but I strongly feel that it is. In either case, you have a situation where the driver reached a point where it was definitively unable to determine an appropriate next action.
Exactly. The real costs of France's national nuclear program can be hidden inside of the accounting of the entire nation, and fudged beyond belief. It's a point of national pride at this point, they would definitely lie and take to the grave anything that might suggest it's not an overwhelming success. And given how fudged financing can be easy to do and compound into massive errors, it could take a massive team of financial forensic analysts to uncover it.
How does Sandboxie actually work?
Nobody was complaining about the term 'illegal immigrant'. My post was about the common misconception that everyone covered by that is a criminal, a misconception which the grandparent comment made twice.

If you had paid attention to the context perhaps you would have saved yourself the effort of making a throwaway account to add a moot point.
Pixel art, animation, game design (even game theory). These are the obvious ones that synergize with high technical skill.

Writing too. I like to just rewrite notes from things I read or compare notes between books and fields. I actually like using tropes as building blocks for other kinds of writing.

Not so much creative output, but martial arts and running are interesting as an art form.
No, the appropriate standard for a self-driving car is the driver they replace. If they're safer than whoever would have been driving (be it on a saturday night or not) then they're a net win. Right now the average idiots are buying more Teslas than mail carriers and cab drivers, though that might change I guess.

Numbers are numbers.
> French electricity costs are just 59% of German electricity prices

what now, costs or prices? These things are hard to compare: what is the actual energy bill of a household? A typical German household will consume less electricity and have a higher income.
What area specifically do you need mentoring in? Is it more structural stuff like meeting organization and expectation management or soft skills like leadership and strategy?
It's an ill defined question I suspect.

Graffiti was a breakthrough in art. (1970's, we all know it existed somewhat in Pompeii)

I guess it's a area were there is an obvious change that's happened and it's good for that field and it doesn't need proving because it's obvious and didn't use the scientific method to bring about the change.

Urber showed it was possible for a company to break corrupt monopolies and break BS government regulations if consumers wanted your product enough. Is a current example I guess? Trump style politics is another. Meme fanaticism is a new field.

Else, finance is not STEM, blockchain is a break through and we are talking what we always talk about. Internet allows non-STEM to train and communicate blah blah blah....
Once a new plant is already constructed, shutting it down early would only make sense if the average generation price fell below the operating cost, excluding the construction and decommissioning costs which by that point are already historical costs. Solar panels could be free and not be able to match that price, because they still require land and energy storage and labor to install and maintain, so the nuclear plant would still operate the full 40+ years and have that long to amortize the construction.

> How has allowing competing browser engines on Android helped the web ecosystem?

By allowing people to install Firefox. Would you rather that Android be Chrome-only? Neither, I suspect, would Mozilla. The same applies to iOS, with its backwards browser holding back the web. Your argument would justify Microsoft making IE 6 the only allowed browser on Windows. Do you really not see how ridiculous that is?
"Breakthrough" is a tough word here...

How about the TurDuckEn? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken
Or the Pake (PieCaken, Cherpumple, or whatever you call a pie baked into a cake).

I'm at least half serious -- the arts, including culinary arts, is a place to look. The color indigo comes to mind as an older example (even if science discovered it, it was a breakthrough due to its adoption in art and fashion)... lately Black 3.0 (or Vantablack) may have made enough ripples to count.

Have there been Legal or Political breakthroughs? Was reopening the Cuban border a "breakthrough"? Is electing female world leaders a "breakthrough"? Legalizing gay marriage? Marijuana decriminalization? I could make an argument for any of those.

I'd make a list of what you think "non-stem" areas are (by career, maybe) and look into that. Finance, real-estate, mechanics, art, fashion -- they probably have "breakthroughs" that people outside the fields are not familiar with, at various scales.

And when you have mastered C, you can move on to assembly language. Once upon a time I used to blather on about "high level languages" and how superior they are to machine languages.

> Order your thoughts. Keep it short. Communicate one idea in one sentence. etc. etc. etc.

This is true in general. I remember when I did consulting interviews you needed to talk like that and the feedback I got was that I didn't do enough of it.

Funnily enough, I could clearly tell that whenever I had a programmer job interview, everyone was always really impressed with how 'structured my thinking' was.

Other than being impressed the biggest benefit that you also describe in your blog post is that it is simply very clear what you are about! And people seem a lot happier when listening to you feels like a simple thing to do.

Here's an example of how I do it. The following that I wrote down was typed as quickly as possible.

---

Interviewer: So tell me about yourself

Me: Alright, there are three perspectives I'd quickly like to touch:

1. Personal

2. Educational

3. Professional

With 1. personal, I'm all about fantasy and curiosity. Understand that and you understand me.

Educational: I studied to become the bridge between the business world and the computer world while also trying to become an expert in both. Therefore, I started of with business informatics. Upon graduation I immediately started studying psychology - people, and computer science - computers. And I studied game studies to merge them back into one topic again.

Professional it's rather interesting: the past 8 years I saw my university as a playground and I just applied to any job that didn't feel like work. This resulted in me becoming a teaching assistant, a coach for teaching assistants, a bootcamp instructor and a programmer/web developer. In total I have about 2.5 years of work experience, 1.5 on teaching development and 1 on development.

It was a huge improvement compared to my standard 15 minute answer. This answer above is just told under 1 minute.
It does require human supervision while driving.

Tesla makes this very clear.

It's also all over the Internet.

But there will always be people who do not get this.

Those people should not drive Teslas, or pretty much any modern car for that matter.

If you are under the impression that you would be relying on this system to drive the car, then I agree you should not get a Tesla.

Of course full self driving is coming at some point, but that's a conversation for another day. Meantime Tesla is making steps toward it very incrementally with things like the "stop mode" rolling out right now.

While I too am frustrated at all the languages out there with common names which yield too many false positives in search results, you're really not going to convince many people by insulting them.. especially when some of the most popular and trendy languages in the world (like java, python, ruby, go) have really common names.

Honestly, I don't know what could change this trend. Apparently, software authors care more about having a catchy name over an easily searchable one.
