Since you seem to be doing some kind of study on the topic:

What I often feel is missing from the equation is the alternative cost: What value is lost from having a culture where it's not socially okay to interrupt a colleague?

I think any model that doesn't take this into consideration is mostly pointless.

The goal should be to identify the optimal number of interruptions. Obviously that's super hard to define, since it's all so dependent on so much state/knowledge etc in people's minds.

"We often hear that AI systems must provide explanations and establish causal relationships, particularly for life-critical applications.
Yes, that can be useful. Or at least reassuring.

But sometimes people have accurate models of a phenomenon without any intuitive explanation or causation that provides an accurate picture of the situation. In many cases of physical phenomena, "explanations" contain causal loops where A causes B and B causes A.

A good example is how a wing causes lift. The computational fluid dynamics model, based on Navier-Stokes equations, works just fine. But there is no completely-accurate intuitive "explanation" of why airplanes fly.
Is it because of Bernoulli principle?
Because a wing deflects the air downwards?
Because the air above the wing want to keep going straight but by doing so creates a low-pressure region above the wing that forces the flow downwards sucks the wing upwards?
All of the above, but none of the above by itself.

Now, if there ever was a life-critical physical phenomenon, it is lift production by an airliner wing.
But we don't actually have a "causal" explanation for it, though we do have an accurate mathematical model and decades of experimental evidence.

You know what other life-critical phenomena we don't have good causal explanations for?
The mechanism of action of many drugs (if not most of them).
An example? How does lithium treat bipolar disorder?
We do have considerable empirical evidence provided by extensive clinical studies.

This is not to say that causality is not an important area of research for AI.
It is.
But sometimes, requiring explanability is counterproductive."
"This doesn't jibe with my experience at all. My wife is quite enjoying being at home with the baby, and gets to spend as much time outdoors as she cares for, even in the harsh Canadian winter."

But that isn't true for all mothers. If a mother needs to socialize with other adults, or wants to chill with a drink with her friends, or go to a book club, etc. having a child that she must be solely responsible for 24/7 can be extremely mentally unhealthy. Maybe try Mother of all Podcasts? It's about comedian mothers talking about motherhood and being a comedian.

I agree, I was wondering what kind of incentives governments could create to motivate parents to stay together...

The current systems are not just suboptimal, but actively harmful - they make parents enemies, in case of divorce often one "wins" and the other "loses" (depending on the legal system, either the higher-earning parent wins by not really having to pay any child support, or the lower-earning parent wins by earning huge child support + alimony on top). A better system would penalize both parents, thus motivate them to cooperate to maintain the family unit.

The other issue is, this would have to be balanced out by the fact that sometimes, it's likely better for parents to split/divorce... obviously in case one of them is violent, but even in other cases, they might just not be a good fit, in terms of interests, lifestyle, personality, ... and splitting gives each of them the opportunity to find someone better fitting, and lead happier lives (which should likely carry over to a more positive influence on their kids).

I think shared custody by default does part of this, it keeps both parents in the kids' lives.

Edit: I'm not a lawyer, so my comment "depending on the legal system" above is only based on anecdotal evidence from friends and/or media... the "not having to pay child support" is an example from Slovenia, the "huge child support + alimony" is based on some examples from the US.

That's essentially the same difficulty, since the only strategy for doing this that has been historically proven to work seamlessly and painlessly involves being able to handle both hash algorithms in the same repository at the same time.

No idea...I left in 2008. At that time, it was still being promoted as a big success story externally. It was turned into a "IT showcase" case study to show customers that SAP could successfully run on SQL Server and Windows. I did maybe 30 presentations of that case study to different customers at Redmond and South America. Internally, we did what we could to soften the hard edges of the SAP UX for the casual user by putting web app front ends on top of things like purchase orders expense reports.
Yeah the system where parents can split the time sounds great but it kind of inevitably winds up with woman taking that majority of the time because ultimately it really makes sense if you have a zero-sum amount of hours to share for the woman to take most of it because she is the natural food source for the kid and has gone through the actual trauma of giving birth and ideally gets time to recover from that.

> No, after. I want them to thrive, but they're not at an age yet where I can fully appreciate time with them.

You know that first 3 years of our lives are most forming on our deeper personalities. How people are calm, energized, focused, or somehow broken... they have started developing personalities while still in the womb. That they have no verbal way to express themselves doesn't mean anything. They do appreciate every second with their parents. They are building the foundations of their personalities for the rest of their lives.

You being absent (and seemingly pretty cold/distant personality) doesn't work work well with your claimed intent for them to thrive. Unless you mean that they will be one of these uber-competitive, never-happy but probably wealthy types which are mostly just sad stories once you know them well. If that's the case, you are probably well on course, and unfortunately they are too...

Parenting is time when 'me' focus changes to 'it' focus, it being the kid. For me and my wife, the transition was automatic and smooth, nobody needn't to tell us anything. I've been given plenty as a child and now I am giving back to next generation. Without thinking about what will come for me or my wife.

Authz bugs are the most common bugs in every application, and no framework has a particular edge on stamping them out. I'm just responding to the claim about Rails having a security edge due to XSS protection, which it does not; in fact, it's become somewhat the opposite.
I develop an app like this (https://actualbudget.com/) and I'll give you my reasons.

Those kinds of syncing work will files, and treat each individual file as a blob. Apps don't work this way. Apps need databases and fine-grained change tracking. You absolutely don't want to make a change in two places on two separate devices and then have a sync conflict. If you throw the sqlite db file on dropbox, that's exactly what will happen.

You could try to build your app around files, but now you are rebuilding a database (and not a good one).

There are a few services that offer syncing more appropriate for apps, like Apple's CloudKit (I think that's the one?). These could work, but in Apple's case you can only run your your app on macOS/iOS.

There are a few generic syncing layers like PouchDB, and there are tradeoffs with all of those. Some of these tradeoffs are deal breakers. (there aren't a ton of good options yet)

But there are good reasons why you an app can't just eschew syncing onto the user, and assume they'll find a good syncing service. It needs to be tightly integrated with how the database works.
In most ways, yes. For me the first 5 seconds or so were fantastic. It felt like seeing a behind the scenes "How it was made" documentary where I was seeing the actors out of character. Or like it removed the sense of being from another era. Soon the artifacts and warping became distracting, and then watching the original put it back in time. Maybe it was a sense of nostalgia but overall the original seemed better to me.

In the last couple years I've been more and more interested in this world of "big enterprise software that seems to be a complex mess but has seemingly unstoppable momentum and makes billions". That whole world seems to be hidden to many of us developers who often see a few lines of code we don't like and assume a whole product will die because of it. Meanwhile there are these giants out there dragging along this weight that companies still spend billions to implement. I see some of this in my day to day but it's not often I find an article that frames it the way this one did. Good stuff!

I was/am an IC on a medium-sized team. I had a project I was the primary contributor for within that team that I've handed off to my teammates to continue (after writing up documentation and doing some knowledge transfer).

I occasionally log in to read my email to keep up-to-date with happenings among the team, but I haven't needed to respond to anything since I went out.

Our team made an effort in the last year to reduce some of the silo-ization of knowledge and increase our 'lottery factor', and I think those efforts have helped make sure that the team was prepared for one of us going out on leave. At the very least, nobody has called me up saying "hey, your systems are on fire!", so that's been nice.
This is cool! I had been thinking about creating something similar but I couldn't solve this problem:

Given a radius of 5 miles and three users in a geographic straight line, each 4 miles from each other. User 1 and user 2 are in the same radius, user 2 and three are in the same radius but user 1 and 3 are not in the same radius. Therefor user 1 and 3 will only see "half" the conversation (which would obviously be confusing). Do you solve for this problem? if so, how?
Reasons Not to Become Famous
That's a fair point regarding balance wrt jobs/devs though the general market would seem to indicate good devs have no problems getting jobs.

But I don't see how it carries over to companies expecting a huge investment from a developer up front (a week's work, unpaid!), without some major positive differentiator from the other companies requiring decent devs.

That isn't going to appeal to any developer with options.

What's the upside, why would they invest that time - just go to the non-presumptive company next door.

> The early stage is a lot of work, but why should you skip the work while your wife has to do it all?

> What about your wife's career. Isn't she held back if she had to spend all the time taking care of the kids? Why should she not be given similar opportunities as you?

He is working, and perhaps his wife prefers caring for their child to working a job. If it's working for them, why criticize? Why is it wrong for this couple to distribute the work in the way that optimizes for their happiness?
Generally, the parents work in different places of course.

As parental leave is a legal right (not given by the employers), employers simply have to comply with the parents' wishes. In the past employers often frowned upon men taking parental leave, but the younger generation has absolutely normalized this behavior.

It should also be noted that during leave, the government picks up (part of) your regular paycheck - so you don't cost your employer anything while you're not there. (except administration overhead etc)

The parental leave doesn't have to be taken in one block and you can also convert it into 'parental part-time'. A somewhat common pattern that double-earning professional parents choose nowadays that I've seen with some of my team members is something like:
1. simultaneous leave for both partners in the 1-2 months after birth
2. leave of one partner for a few months after that while the other partner works full-time
3. a few months of simultaneous part-time (e.g. 3/days week) where on any given day, one partner is at home
4. full-time work of both partners for a while once the kid is old enough for day-care
5. another month or so of simultaneous parental leave after 1-1.5 years that's used for a vacation.

I'm guessing code and coffee are identical on a swiping keyboard.
The real question is how different is it from true nectar. They produce honey by preserving nectar in the first place. Of course even if they were given true nectar as a replacement directly (an ironic subversion of their job) it could theoretically cause issues from not being properly "preprocessed" or lacking the lead time to make a batch for their own consumption.

Just because sugar water isn't a good basis for humans doesn't neccessarily apply to bees - giving a cat a salad is not healthy for them and they will probably not be happy.
Independence is the most important value in Norway. So probably one reason I mention it ;-) We value the independence of everyone. Independence of young people to make their own choices. Independence of women to marry or divorce regardless of what she wants.

> What is so wrong with being dependent on your spouse when raising children together that it should even come up as a consideration?

Seems obviously bad to me. Should your spouse leave you or die, and you are totally dependent on him, that would suck. But that was not really what I was thinking of but rather the ability to be financially independent later in life because you actually had a career.

> Raising children well is hard enough and time consuming enough as it is. Why try to make it harder by also trying to make sure neither parent is dependent on the other?

I think you misunderstand what I said, or thing about this in a very different way from me.

With the system we have in Norway with leave for both parents and both parents having a career, we are able help each other out MORE! Child raising is LESS work for my wife because I can help her out. Meanwhile I would have less stressful work life because my wife also has a job and can help out the family financially.

It seems to me like we are making life easier for both of us. It is hard for me to grasp how you conclude that this will make things harder.

Your logic seems to be that depriving my wife of any career or financial security she is forced to stay with me. That is some pretty screwed up logic. I want my wife to be with me because she wants to not because she cannot survive without me.

And for children it is better. I know what Norway was like in the old days where the mom stayed home and the dad worked. By not involving the dad, and only have him provide financial security, a lot of men back in old Norway were big assholes. They ran away from their family responsibilities.

You don't see modern Norwegian dads do this. Families may be divorced but dads still participate in child raring. They have been their from the start and child raring is seen as a shared responsibility. There are a lot more divorced families in modern Norway but there are a lot more dads taking responsibility and looking after their kids.

They take turns through the week picking up kids at school. They stay part of the week with their dad. It means mom gets more spare time to live her life. And ultimately you get happier families because people live together because they want to, not because they have to.

But really I think he's referring to coffeescript though I have no idea why.
It's mostly a pretty good looking and nice feeling website, but the explanation of what it is (necessary for me to understand why I should stay) should absolutely not be sourced out to an in page pop-up, which it both annoying and way too ephemeral. I'd suggest an info-icon triggering a top bar.
>It's still less costly than immigration.

Can you explain this? Its hard for me to imagine how letting someone through a border could cost more than providing healthcare and education to an individual for 18+ years.

If a government really wants the increase the tax base, how could you possibly find a better ROI than letting skilled working age people immigrate?

Mint needs to up their "we are better than X because..." message because they are stepping into a pond with lots of big fish.

From what I can see: it has zero incremental development. You must start with Mint and haul in other new tools, or it doesn't work. That's a nonstarter, and part of the reason why VueJS was so easy to integrate.

I read the Guide (briefly) and don't see any advantages. It looks like they thought-out the most trivial scenarios, and that's it. Recursive components? Data sharing? Messaging?

Not sure I buy the slippery slope here. Should we also stop using computers in cars and planes? What about stocks and payment systems?

Election results should be backed by multiple, independent records including (but not limited to) a paper trail. Those records should be thoroughly audited for accuracy and consistency. It's perfectly fine to use computers as a quick-and-easy record as long as it's backed by more robust solutions.

Everyone talks about electronic voting vs paper as though it has to be one or the other. It should be both!

A strong password is recommended, but it's not a substitute for 2FA. In the same way, a robust, highly-auditable voting record is recommended, but it's not a substitute for redundancy.
But this is why the paternity leave is being offered. So that your 'sole source of income' is not stopped while you can do the 'work' and share equally in the workload of rearing the child that YOU decided you wanted.

The original commenter is insinuating that even with this facility he will prefer to go to his 'real work' esp when the kid is small and the child-rearing work is not satisfactory enough and that frankly is quite selfish.

This is a generic defeatist premise. Yes, if we do not try to make the world a more pleasant place to live in, the world indeed will not be a more pleasant place. And yes, poor people (and right now even middle class people) do not have the luxury to have the choice I depicted, or many other choices. But it is worthwhile to have our institutions try to change work culture for the better, exactly so that these options become feasible, both for the middle class and for the even less lucky.

Or to rephrase it in your way: there are costs to maintaining these other options, and I am happy to see that there are governments trying (and occasionally succeeding) to pay these costs.

> Its a classical example of government waste and corruption.

I agree on the corruption part, but elected governments had very little to do with this. To me that’s a double edged sword - the caucus process could be an independent expression of the will of the people (in theory anyway) but it also isn’t subject to proper scrutiny nor required to be a transparent process.
Einstein had a great quote: "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible." Well, turns out, a lot of the world is not comprehensible. And that's what made Einstein irrelevant for the latter part of his life.

Our overestimation of the comprehensibility of the world may very well be some version of the Drunkard's search principle. We are much more likely to know about what's comprehensible than what's not.
