While many here will jump to the knee-jerk commentary that yeah, yeah, McK and other consulting companies sell services to companies that are just the obvious MBA bullshit, downsizing, revenue-at-all-cost, etc. there is something good about working for these companies:

The training it gives you is really useful. If you came from a highly technical or non-fast-talking-cut-the-bullshit kind of educational background (or simply haven't worked in a practical, business world), it really does give you training in how to talk, how to present clearly, how to think, and how to organize work. When you're confronted with a complex problem that seems like you should immediately dive into the details and get lost, the kind of training you get teaches you how to think about the output goal, describe the sufficient set of work necessary to prove/disprove the hypothesis, and get the right answer in a set amount of time. Usually it's not rocket science (or the problems where consulting is properly applied isn't rocket science).

The organization and push for productive answers is (often) something that people will look up to you for after you work at one of these companies. (Unfortunately, as a byproduct, you also start to get impatient with people who can't think efficiently, and/or can only describe things by showing you lines of code and an disorganized brain dump that they've never taken the time or effort to clarify in their own mind in a way that's explainable to other people).
Or anywhere else.

Lots of people don't enjoy using C for various reasons, but generally programmers don't get to choose what language they work in, they get paid to work in whatever language is needed.

Whether programmers like it or not for non personal projects doesn't actually matter too much. If you don't like using C, then don't take jobs programming in C. Just don't whine when that makes it more difficult to get a job.
Out of curiosity, what did you find clunky about the syntax? I think languages in the ML family have quite simple and minimal syntax.
An operating system needs to be aware of every application running on it. (It doesn't need to be reporting that back to the mothership, though)

I'm not sure what that has to do with a third party peripheral. You may be confusing a Wacom tablet for something like an iPad or Nexus 7?

EDIT: For others who may be confused, a Wacom tablet is used to provide a pen/stylus interface to a computer. It's an additional peripheral, similar to your keyboard or mouse, for your computer. It is not a standalone independent computing platform.
Bank loans to landlords do not contain convenants requiring that all units be rented for $x. You appear to be confusing policies that some lenders apply when originating loans with covenants that borrowers have to follow on an ongoing basis. Those are not the same.
It's not that most of them don't know what anonymization is or are confused about it.

Society is a tapestry of bullshit and low-level swindling is generally tolerated or quickly forgotten about. Thus, there's nothing to prod the unprincipled in charge to do the right thing. As long as something seems to be good(anonymized, in this cage), and problems can be hidden behind the corporate veil long enough, the unwritten rule is to half-ass security solutions because, well, security is boring and there's other things to devote company time and resources to(that will advance upper management).

Security measures, especially those that protect the users, don't make money. At best, they're insurance against the fallout that might occur when it's revealed that your company has been silently screwing people over. Like most human beings, businesses often put off serious consideration of the future in order to enjoy quick and immediate gain.

I wouldn't put it past most companies to screw up an approach like differential privacy. Not enough people actually care that much.
Well you won me over. I do think this guy is trying to honestly shed light on the powers of influence and concentration at work in the industry at large. I’m dubious though about the value of this particular article.

My first thought: an entirely new language for one domain?

But then I started looking at the examples and how styles and an xml-like syntax are given first-class support and it makes sense. It really is a hard problem to shove into an existing language, evidenced but all the transpiling that goes on now. Thanks for sharing!

The company that employs the author of the language (Evan) is NoRedInk, an edusoftware company, so that may be a large reason.
A panic in Rust nicely captures the category of errors which the programmer asserts should be impossible, which generally cannot be recovered well from. A panic is kind of catchable, but it only works in the sense of killing only part of the process rather than the entire process (like abort does).

If errors are expected, then you should Result instead of a panic. If people are using panics instead of Result for these kinds of errors, then the library is wrong. I'm curious what examples you have where this is happening.
I was on the conspiracy bandwagon until I looked a little more at Shadow Inc. The company also sells a voter database connector called Lightrail: https://shadowinc.io/lightrail as well as a voter SMS spamming platform: https://shadowinc.io/messaging
The FEC line items (e.g. for Gillibrand, Biden, Buttigieg) said the money was for software licensing and consulting, so that's probably it.
This is getting voted down, but is this not true? My iPhone knows all my top apps and shows them on whatever that screen is called, with the search, and adjusts them over time as usage changes. Maybe it’s not “more important,” but why vote this down? How do I know that data doesn’t go back to Apple with “telemetry”?
Not learning working at a legacy codebase, should I move to greenfield dev?
I'm currently working as a front end engineer (70% front end, 30% back end).

When I used to briefly worked at greenfield projects where I get to play around with React, Redux, starting a component library etc, I was very excited and learned a'lot.

I was then moved to a team working on maintaining a legacy but critical codebase. Despite the fact that I tried to lie to myself by saying as a software engineer, I should be able to adapt to anything and place customer first. I was not happy and motivated.

For some reason, one year in, I'm not growing. To be honest, I am not interested in the old ways of doing things (e.g. Knockout, JSP) as I see no market value in them. I tried to reason with my manager the value of upgrading the tech, but the progress is very slow.

If my resume is only working on the greatest and latest, is that a bad thing? Does anyone else have a hard time trying to convince themselves the value of maintaining old codebases? How did you do it knowing when you apply at the next job interview, they will be asking up to date technical interview questions? I felt really dissapointed at myself at my inability to adapt...

Its a classical example of government waste and corruption. Some shady company collected millions while interns took blame for their first app not being robust and at the level of banking app. Sadly the winner of this fiasco is Trump.

It was similar with Obamacare website. Done to the tune of $5 billion dollars (!!) it was mostly prepared by IT corporations located in India, the source code is/was terrible with jQuery hosted on some third-party CDN, it was/is a disaster.
> noticed about Norway when we were in Oslo

A lot can be achieved when your country floats on oil. The Government Pension Fund Global, aka the Oil Fund, was worth about $195,000 per Norwegian citizen in 2018.

If others had this kind of safety net they might behave in a similar manner.

And currently YT et. al. inject the ads by swapping video streams because it's more technically convenient than re-rendering a video on their servers.

If video ad blockers take off enough to impact that technological solution, they'll shift to embedding ads directly by modifying the video content itself, because after the up-front cost it becomes win-win for them; the ad blockers will turn a tech like that into a "moat" that YT et. al. can use to keep competing video services at bay. Then the ad blockers will iterate to do their own crowd-source digital fingerprinting of ad content and time-skip around in the video, so the ad companies will iterate to make ads hard to fingerprint or onerous to successfully time skip, etc.

Each step in this arms race creates another technological moat to make YT more ad-revenue-viable than possible competitors, who will have to operate on some other revenue stream (and what that revenue stream could be is unclear---subscription model, so only those with disposable income can view videos? Creator-supported model, so only those with disposable income can upload?).
My understanding is that it is primarily volunteer although they have a small full-time staff (https://fosdem.org/2020/volunteer/) who may also be volunteers and, of course, many of the weekend volunteers are doing this as a part or quasi-part of their day job. In any case, it's certainly in a different category than a show that's basically entirely handled by paid staff and contracted events people.
I've seen obscenely complicated DMA controllers that can do that and more. Check the NXP iMX6 SDMA peripveral for instance.
Being actual operating systems, I can understand why. I mean, it's pretty convenient to know what's installed on my phone. However, a writing/drawing tablet doesn't need to. At all. Ever.
I've anonymously reported an incident as a GitLab employee. It was ignored. I encouraged someone else to report an incident and it was handled dreadfully by the interim Chief People Officer at the time. The person ended up leaving due to the terrible experience and real fear of retaliation.

They're now supposed to be handled by the Chief Legal Officer which I find odd.

I would be interested in this recipe, if you don't mind posting it. I'm still trying to get in a groove with the instant pot.
If Buttigieg holds onto the win once 100% of the votes are counted, it'd be clear evidence not only that there was no conspiracy but also that Buttigieg was absolutely robbed.

If the winning number of SDEs does flip to Sanders by the time they're all counted, though, that'll be pretty damning.

I'm currently on the "no conspiracy" train, since a caucus is pretty hard to fabricate.
> You don't think there's anything political about removing yourself from society for 30 years and living in the woods?

I think there's something political about it, but I also believe that it could be done for non-political reasons (spiritual reasons, practical reasons, mental health reasons). As a pure narrative, it would most likely be politically motivated, but in hypothetical-land it wouldn't necessarily be. Even if there is something "political" about it, it doesn't really map to what people mean when the use the term "political." It may map to opinions about how the state should be governed, the broadest definition of political, but it's much more frequently used to refer to a particular subset of debates which are at least minimally polarizing in some way.

> What this is saying is that they are happy with the status quo, and they see no room for improvement, or they're not bothered if things are improved one way or another.

All I'm trying to point out is that it's a legitimate spectrum. When I say "someone disengaged enough that they don't care who will become the next president" it's very easy for the reader to imagine someone in shoes very like theirs and making that choice somewhat actively to not be engaged.

But in the wide world, you can be simply unable (or unwilling) to devote any energy to understanding how the current political environment relates to your life, and thereby form no opinions one way or the other. Perhaps you work 16 hours a day to support your family, or you live in a country only temporarily and don't even understand the language. This would imply the fact that you lack the resources to form a political opinion is "supporting the status quo."
Interesting feature in Reddit's mobile app is switching between light and dark modes through the day/night. That approach could get your app the best of both worlds.

I agree, the improved version is worse. At first glance, it looks better than the original, but then numerous artifacts become apparent. For example, check out the little girl's face. It's jumbled in the "improved" version, but very clear in the original.

It looks like most of the perceived improvement comes simply from the upgrade to 60fps, which is achieved trivially through interpolation.

I wonder if the video would have gotten as much attention had AI not been mentioned.
Wow, threads on here constantly make me wish I lived in Germany as it sounds like German has really awesome employment protection too.
>or independence.

Why would you consider it to be an important goal for either parent to have "independence"? What is so wrong with being dependent on your spouse when raising children together that it should even come up as a consideration? 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?
At the time the theories were put forward, Sanders supporters believed Sanders was to come out in front, so they thought the delay was harming him. Both sanders and Buttigieg were claiming their internal numbers showed them in front.

Sanders may yet come out ahead when full results come out - the betting markets put it at 25%, so the theorists might yet be right that the delay hurt Sanders the most (not necessarily right about their theories, but I sympathise with the general level of paranoia - although an given theory probably isn't correct, I think those dismissing them all as crazy lack imagination).

Arguably, since by all accounts Sanders performed much better than Biden (who is seen as Sander's main competition, not Buttigieg), it's still relevant that the delay hurt well-performing candidates in Iowa (Sanders and Buttigieg) and benefited poorly performing candidates (Biden).
Governments have an interest in how the children grow up. Now there is some "whatever that means" encoded in the above. However it is generally noted that children with a good relationship with both parents tend to do better in life than those with only one parent. Thus there is an interest in ensuring that relationship exists if possible.
People running for office ought to care about all of the people in their voting district. Children can't and don't vote but their interests ought to be looked after by politicians. Wouldn't it be a sad state of affairs that those who run for office are only expected to care about people who can potentially and directly help them? I believe we Americans have mostly come to the point of accepting this as normative.
just wait until you see how easy it is with bocker_compose
All that really happened was, the results were delayed and so missed the schedules news slots. The furor is over media trying to control the election message? Nothing actually went wrong with the caucus? It just didn't get reported as promptly as the new generation has come to expect.
Wouldn't work. Tax law can tell the difference between an individual transaction and bundled transactions. It's also the only area of law that allows for ex post facto changes to the criminality of acts.
The problem in contemporary culture is that we are not even allowed to have this conversation. To state the obvious fact that men and women are different and have different strengths and weaknesses (in general, as a sex) is tantamount to heresy, I guess because gender roles are associated with perceived past injustices.

> Personally, I find that this "gender equality" push winds up being extraordinarily anti-woman in effect, and whenever I see a man preaching it, I assume that he is likely a broken individual in his relationship with the fairer sex, certainly someone that I would care to keep far away from my daughters.

It is still unclear to me how forcing both parents to work full-time jobs is beneficial for anyone other than corporations. Parents today work more and spend less time with their kids than probably any period of time other than the early Industrial Revolution. This was not the case prior to opening up the work force en masse for women.
umm, it's pretty obvious if you dig into it just a little bit, and don't just rely on mainstream news.

I recently read a book by a swedish immunologist on breastfeeding and atleast according to that author that is not really true. Breastmilk does help to fight infections but it does not help to build a good immune system. If anything, the opposite is true since less infections gives the immune system less practice. Some animals can transfer parts of the mothers immune system via breastmilk, humans can not. And even the temporary protection against infections from breastmilk is very limited. If you live in a country without good quality drinking water breastmilk is great though.
I think it points to how the public markets are getting better or were always good at spotting when a mattress maker claiming to be Tech/Mattress as a Service doesn't justify the multiples. So the trend of high priced rounds meeting IPO reality continues.
I tried using it seriously 5 years ago. Things might have changed since then, though. All I remember is that it was tremendously slow and the results were pretty much garbage. It's an interesting project, nonetheless.

EDIT: They now have an online demo that doesn't require any installation. After waiting about a minute for peers to connect, queries ran relatively "fast" each time. That's an improvement. But the results are still junk, IMO.

> The customer - the Iowa Democratic Party - probably needs to bear at least part of the blame for this.

They bear most of the fault.

The event they run is an every-4-year organizational nightmare run almost entirely by volunteers. It is akin to running a bunch of small conferences in synchrony, which is not something people really normally do.

It is entirely possible to get it right - it isn't super difficult, just a lot of work. But changing the rules, inserting the (bad) app, changing the phone numbers involved in the backup plan shortly beforehand... this process was doomed before they started.

I'm not defending the app - I really really don't think they should be heading down this path - but the app failure was as much shoddy planning and training was it was about the app.

(And I do hope this kills the caucus - far past time for it to go.)
I know someone it happened to.

Occam may not have become mainstream, but it showed Hoare's CSP channels in a programming language. Now days we see channels in Go, whose "select" is similar to Occam's "ALT".

Fun fact: In contrast to process algebras like CSP, there is the Actor model. Instead of using an intermediary channel, the Actor model sends messages directly to a recipient process. These two message-based models of concurrency have influenced each other for decades.
Maybe I’m confusing it too. I searched “Wacom tablet” and it seems to be a... tablet.
Don’t conflate rockets and airplanes. Most of the energy an airplane uses is to overcome parasitic drag – to overcome the air resistance caused by moving forward through the air mass. While some of the energy is used to keep the plane in the air, that is not dominant. Yes, planes have a higher maximum takeoff weight then maximum landing weight, but that has to do with the design of the landing gear, in some hypothetical world where jet fuel did not shed weight, planes would only have slightly worse range.

The real problem with electric aviation is that batteries have terrible weight to energy ratios compared to fossil fuels.

At no point did the poster wish (or anyone arguing for gender equality) for a kid to have identical relationships with parents. It is about each gender being able to invest as much time as the other (if they so chose), thereby making sure each relationship has the potential to reach the same depth (barely present father has been a trope for a very long time) and does not force one gender to sacrifice their carriers over the other (because getting children often boils down to that, and the numbers backing that up are contested by nobody).

In other words, you chose to attack a straw-man, and it is important for the discussion that you don't. Whenever I see a man doing that I assume that he is likely not very interested in hearing about problems others do experience.
Oh yes, and I can remember the episode when he jumped while explaining some idea in order to make this moment unforgettable. Shame on me, I forgot what idea it was but still remember his jumps :)
Not sure you got the OP's comment.

What OP is saying - Perhaps SAP 'optimal processes' made absolutely sense few decades back, but when new time came and world or best practices changed, those optimal processes were no longer optimal, but still one needs to keep using those.. because SAP.

From Micro-USB analogy - world has changed, but you still need to keep using Micro-USB for your USB-C phone... because SAP.
You are paid in Nordic countries during the leave, so that is a non-issue. Sure indirectly you are paying through your taxes.

But for society as a whole this makes financial sense. In Nordic countries we have the worlds highest female labour participation rate. That is a lot of extra tax dollars.

It also means higher birth rate which benefits the economy. Look at asian countries with birth rates around 1.2 which where slow at adopting these kinds of systems. Nordic countries are more like 1.8.

Over time such a low birth rate will be a huge financial burden for a country. Any taxes you saved from not having paternal leave will be lost in taxes to pay for caring for a huge elderly population.
