I have never really felt compelled to "ape" a teacher's opinions.

Demonstrate a sufficient and working understanding of? Yes; which I guess could be considered aping. However I can't recall a time I've been outright penalized for challenging a teacher's take as long as some greater mistake in making my case was not at the same time undertaken. For instance, the misapplication of logical device, or tortured cherrypicking of data/context.

I've never professed to understand why many people view academia as an institution in which the end goal is to agree with the professor for the grade. I've always treated it as an institution for the search for answers to questions where the searching for good questions is arguably more important and more difficult than finding the answers. I can't count the number of times I've felt dejected because I've had an armload of data or observations that are somehow related, and I've not been able to do anything but stew in angst because while there was some meaning to it, I could never figure out how to formulate the question to which the observations were the answer.

Then again, I stuck around long enough for my Bachelor's, then got out. I might not have gotten to the point where there is a much higher stake in tipping the Professor's Sacred Cow.
The modularity of the supply chain is part of the challenge, as Bunnie illustrated. You could have interchangeability at the chip level or OEM level, but still have the same bad actor tampering at the foundry, chip packaging house, part distributor, SMT factory, FATP factory, 3PL, retailer, or any of the shipping companies between those.
>Education

Do you mean pre-college? In which case the US spends more per pupil than OECD average by quite a bit.

If you mean college, then most OECD countries have nowhere the number of people in college as the US. And there are ample cheap local colleges in the US - people choose more costly ones because they can.

>healthcare

Yep, I stated that one. We're about twice the per capita cost as OECD countries. That cost is spread through the system, including doctor and nurse salaries being quite a bit higher. This is likely due to Baumol's Cost Disease, since almost all higher skilled jobs in the US pay about twice OECD countries. So to drive our cost to OECD levels, you'd need to mandate locally low salaries for doctors and nurses, which would result in lower quality care.

I'm not sure what a solution is here, but it's highly nontrivial.

>transportation

Gas far cheaper in the US than OECD average, and likely cheaper than most if not all OECD countries. Or did you mean in city busses? In which case ours are similar. Or did you mean metro tickets? Again, same cost. Or are you talking about intra-city routes, in which case again we're similar costs.

Please clarify with data.

>not to mention bad public services...

All depends on where you live. To compare the US (by area and population) to somewhere else, you'd need to include the entire EU, or all of OECD, in which case you're adding places with terrible services.

If you want to pick small, nice countries, then pick small, nice states, and again, very similar.

DevOps, like most IT fads, is just trying to get more blood out of the stone and avoid letting anyone specialize in anything. That's obviously not the original intent, but it's what happens.
Any action taken to mobilize or stretch the muscles of the hamstring.

Climate change is a known problem. Known problems will be solved, since they can be measured and people are (or in this case, will soon be) incentivized to solve them. Climate change is a huge challenge but not one I particularly worry about since it exists in humanity’s collective consciousness as an idea.

It’s unknown problems you should worry about, that are unnamable because they are unpredictable and unknowable until they happen.

> So how would you justify taking unpaid vacation with family under such circumstances?

Frankly, the circumstances are irrelevant. There isn't a set of circumstances that makes you not a human being with a right to leisure time, and a need for leisure time.

You don't need to justify this. It's an inherent human right and need, and everyone knows that. If they claim some other reasoning outweighs that, they're screwing you over, and there isn't a reason for you to tolerate it. You have the power to not tolerate it. They can't make you work, so don't. There are other clients.

Ultimately, this isn't actually a choice you have. What you're doing isn't sustainable. If you don't take time for yourself, you'll eventually have a burnout and that time will be taken for you, in a much more unpleasant way. It's better to acknowledge facts and take the time for yourself before it's taken for you.

Besides, why are you working anyway? I don't work for the sake of work, I work so I can do what I love doing. It sounds like you'd like to spend more time with your family. If your work doesn't support that, find work that does.

Frankly, I've worked with people like this, and even after I set proper boundaries, I'm constantly having to defend them, which I don't want to do. I've found it a lot more pleasant to work with clients who don't have boundary issues.
Honestly it's unintentional, I don't really understand the negative reactions. What I've wrote are not maybe's, it's facts about one of the ways to relieve the environment. It's just my sincere immediate reaction about "Pets insurances", it makes absolutely no sense to me in our environmental context.

Why Product-Led Onboarding Has Become Close’s Greatest PLG Lever
The real informal understanding IMHO was that rules should be there for a sensible reason. The reason for giving a 4pm deadline usually is that you want to grade the submissions sometime after 4pm. The reason for giving a midnight deadline is that it is a deadline and you've got to give deadlines.

They mentioned having a handful of Yubikeys. The nice thing about U2F is that many providers support having multiple U2F tokens. For example Google, Github, and Gitlab do. Though others do not, for example AWS (last time I checked). So you can keep one or two on your keychain and keep others in different locations as backups.

One nice thing about the Yubikeys is that they can also support TOTP like Google Authenticator. So you could store your authenticator token on both your phone and on the Yubikey. Then use the Yubikey Authenticator app to get the code from the Yubikey. I do recommend requiring touch to access the code from the Yubikey. You most likely need to setup this up at the same time on both your phone and Yubikey. As most authenticator apps (but not all) don't let you have access to the secret once stored on your phone.

I automate and work with Linux systems and I still consider myself a sysadmin -- I'm not DevOps, I'm not an SRE. My skillset and experience might coincide with what those roles require, but I am and always will be a sysadmin in my mind. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't make it a supermodel.

you did say that other languages are more secure, and the parent post here is asserting the entire platform is insecure therefor no languages are secure, which is true.

however i disagree with both of you that writing safe C is hard. most of the problems i see relate to incorrect pointer usage or memory management. use stack allocated containers from libs very well tested and pass references. this removes entire classes of bugs from popping up. one thing you can’t do with C is be lazy.

>>DevOps is valuable role

Sorry despite what IT Managers and HR would like to believe, DevOps is not a role at all, it is a management style.

DevOps is an Organizational Structure, no one should be a "DevOps Engineer" or anything like it.

DevOps teams can have SysAdmins.
Antifa is well explained in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bgwS_FMZ3nQ

Antifa means antifascist action - when there's fascists doing things, antifa appears to rry to stop them from doing fascist things. Antifa has no leaders and no real membership because it's just people standing against fascism.

If someone identifies as a member, they are wrong and possibly fake.

It's a pretty good progression from before.

The most common name used to be sysadmin. That could be development or operations or anything down to running a Windows Active Directory or HelpDesk.

At least with DevOps, there is no doubt that it's about Linux systems and automation.
Does that really work on people? (Rhetorical questions, they wouldn't have been doing it this long otherwise) How?

I feel like Netflix is trying its hardest to stop me from watching.

Usually at the top is some show I have no interest in. That takes up most of the screen preventing me from seeing things I might be interested in.

Then I see My List: 1 show with new episodes. Great. It just happens to be the show they wasted over 50% of their website telling me about. Onward: A bunch of shows that I finished watching and that are either canceled, finished or have no new episodes. Why would I want this information?

Next line, "Continue Watching": 2 shows that I found so bad I stopped watching them (The Witcher and Criminal: Germany here)

Next line, "European Mind Game TV Shows". Sounds good. One show I might eventually watch. 3 shows I already watched… on Netflix. 2 shows that I think I checked and disliked but can't say for sure because Netflix keeps changing their covers. I'd rather spend the time ranting about their dumb UI than being annoyed by re-checking the synopsis for a show I decided against.

Trending Now: 5 shows I didn't like (where is that "Never annoy me with this cheap shit again"-button?), one that might be interesting.

So, Netflix used up 2 pages on a Full HD Monitor and with careful checking I realized one show I like has new episodes, and one new show could be interesting. But I don't usually expend this much effort into finding something to watch. So instead I usually find a new show elsewhere and only use the search or a meta stream search to find out if something is on Netflix and don't bother otherwise.

The only site I know with a worse UX than Netflix is Amazon Prime Video. Yet I keep reading that their design improves engagement, do people not care what they watch and instead just rewatch everything all the time? I really don't get it.

There is OpenShot but I haven’t used it. The main features I tend to miss in the OSS video editors are proxy editing (which is an enormous timesaver) and basic audio features like side-chain compression. You may or may not care about the same features that I do.

I like to record voiceover in a separate audio track and process it separately in post. From what I can tell, OpenShot doesn’t support videos with multiple audio tracks.
I agree and just want to say that I find your writing style very easy to read. It's hard to string together those thoughts and words coherently all the way thru, it would take me a second pass to have it flow the way you do

For me it depended heavily on the professor. Some marked me down almost assuredly because I argued against their preferences. Then again, one professor would keep running arguments in their grading of my papers just to end it with "Disagreed with everything you wrote, excellent arguments. A"
They have a few great ones and k love the "limited series" concept (so no endless series added, but just 1-2, so 14-30 episodes). E.g. Frontera Verde was superb.
Somewhat related. U2F, which Yubikey supports does help prevent against DNS spoofing. A DNS name which looks very similar but is not the true DNS name of the site you want to connect to. Something that a human might not notice or get confused by will be stopped by U2F.
Not sure how zoning and codes raises housing prices? Poor codes would result in cheaper housing (with no alarms or sprinkler, weak roofs that collapse under snow load, thin walls etc). And zoning can definitely reduce housing costs. In my city developers were required to mix single-family and multiplex in neighborhoods.
It doesn't look ugly to me. It looks better than most modern interfaces.
You didn't answer the question "Why do you think ZERO screen time is the correct amount?"

The article you linked only tests for "excessive" screen time - as do all the other studies I've seen.

Seems like you're just advocating the opposite extreme.
> another person telling the world what devops means....- it means whatever you want.

I think that devops (like agile) will have a definite meaning, but uncovering that is mostly a process of examining the early history of it - who first used it and when? The definitions used, the problems that it aimed to solve, and the methods used to solve them.

However, like "agile" it can and often is abused to mean everything and nothing. This does not make it inherently meaningless, though.
Which is a similar mislabeling, right? I thought SREs were more about design for scalability.
How much pain are you willing to take for your ideals? If you need something super simple you might be able to just use ffmpeg.
There is plenty of housing. Normal market dynamics here are totally fucked because of the rent stabilization, rent regulation, and short term rental companies such as Airbnb.

Last I looked nearly half the apartments were in one of those three categories. Rent is fucked because supply is fucked because we fucked it with various programs.

At minimum enforce the short term rental ban.

I love Mort Kunstler Civil War paintings; I have a giant coffee table book in the living room right now.

I also played thousands of hours of Sierra's Civil War Generals growing up, and all the menus and load screens of that game (and probably a fair number of the generals' portraits) are Kuntsler paintings.
One of the issues is that humans don't reason what the current situation is prior to emotional response and action. Rather their emotions about the situation are inputs into the reasoning process.

e.g. The fear elicited upon perceiving a particular person causes the conclusion that he is dangerous, not vice versa.

The multifarious causes of emotions are notoriously difficult to trace, and can indeed be somewhat noisy. Thus most people are effectively just rationalising when asked why they behaved as they did.
I agree. But the litmus test where one gatekeeper takes a fee making it not a platform is nonsensical. That’s what the parent poster said.
> If you need to constantly look up informations, it means you have no long term knowledge of anything.

I don’t think this is a very charitable interpretation of what GP was trying to say. Of course you can’t get by being a blind conduit of Google’d/Wikipedia’d/etc information, but you certainly don’t need to (and probably can’t) cram everything you need into your memory for instant recall on demand.

How about a middle ground: memory can be thought more like an LFU cache, where “use” is defined as reliance on explicit details of a concept. For example, I rely daily on programming language syntax and best practices and therefore have them deeply embedded in my mental cache. Other knowledge however, like sorting algorithm implementations, I rarely utilize and probably won’t remember after the next time I’m quizzed on it in e.g. an interview or conversation with someone where I’m trying to sound smart (cache miss).

In many cases where I suspect that I’ll frequently encounter cache misses with a particular piece of knowledge , I often find it better to just cache high level details (useful properties of sorting algorithms) and Google the missing details. That or work with subject matter experts.
They also swosh around.

They also aren't predictable.
> At least with DevOps, there is no doubt that it's about Linux systems and automation.

Is that what you understand by the term "Devops" ? That "it's about Linux systems" ? Really??

That definition is a new one on me, and you very much should doubt it since "it's about Linux systems" is neither necessary nor sufficient. The confusion is even worse than I thought.

And it abolishes the professor of responsibility as well.

Not to say the author is entirely full of it, but broad generalizations blaming the existence of cellphones for the problems of our entire culture is way too reductionist.
"DevOps" = "sysadmin that can code scripts".

> An experienced C and assembly developer can take almost any piece of assembly code and easily write C equivalent of it...

If the assembly was originally compiled from C, the new "C equivalent" can have radically different flow than the original had.

Modern compilers can do rather crazy and surprising transformations to your code.

They might omit large chunks or even turn your loop structure "inside out" to enable vectorization optimizations.

They can pattern match your algorithm and replace it with something faster. See: https://lemire.me/blog/2016/05/23/the-surprising-cleverness-...
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this. Every time I read someone referring to, "a DevOps," I wonder what they think they're referring to. No one person is going to be everything you need for effective development and operations combined outside of small, extremely focused scope. DevOps is about avoiding the, "Just throw it over the wall," mentality, not making one person handle the whole thing.
Yup, it works with everything, not text-based.
I understand your concerns, but there is a large body of XAI research that addresses them. For example, there are post-hoc explainability algorithms like LIME (https://github.com/marcotcr/lime) that "explain" the classification decisions of machine learning models. The obvious alternative is to use (deep) learning only to mine simpler, fully explainable models (sacrifice correlation power for intelligibility). What I don't think exist yet are approaches that go full scale with the "reasoning backwards" approach. Like a neural network making a BS classification decision and then trying to "reason backwards" in a symbolic way to defend the decision. But works like this one: https://openai.com/blog/debate/ go roughly into this direction (the work seemed to be, at the time of writing, in its infancy).
A perhaps unpopular opinion: "grey thinking" is a particular type of laziness for people in the educated class.

In my experience, it's much more common for people to wave away fundamental problems with their worldview by saying "it's a grey area" than it is for people with strong (and "incorrect") views to admit that their model is incomplete.

The obvious failure of grey thinking is that there are clear, objective differences in results in the real world when white/black thinking is applied. If we were to take a 1980s Hong Kong "Capitalism is magic and the answer to all our problems!" and compare it to a 2010s Venezuela "Socialism is magic and the answer to all our problems!", it's very hard to square away the grey and say that one of those models wasn't fundamentally true in a practical sense.

I spend about five seconds looking at Netflix to see if any shows I watch have new episodes. It’s pretty good at getting them near the top. It’s not really a ui problem that the vast majority of shows on Netflix suck.
