I learned tools the old fashioned way - by asking an upperclassman or TA.

I also remember taking a "Software Engineering" class and it bore little to no resemblance to any part of my 20+ year career.

One person's "ignored" is another person's "accounted for." It could easily be that the folks who made the decision recognized this risk, but decided it was worth it. That looks about the same as ignoring the risk to someone who is not privy to the machinery that makes the decision.

I see this happen all the time in the organization I work for. Some folks say that X won't work, product team tries X, and if it ends up not working, they say, "You ignored our feedback on X!" But you just can't really know whether they ignored your feedback, or whether they considered it and decided not to act on it for any of a number of reasons. IMO, the "ignored" narrative is pretty uncharitable, even if it is the natural and easy one to assume. It feels good to be vindicated. It feels less good to think about how teams are dealing with vast numbers of competing constraints, and sometimes have to take gambles (a central feature of which is the possibility of loss).

It seems like this type of thing happens all the time. Almost every time something bad happens, there was some naysayer who predicted it. But you never hear about the cases where the critics were wrong. The classic Slashdot comment r.e. the iPod is the counterexample that proves the rule. It's such a notable comment because naysayers are almost never so blatantly and visibly cited for their incorrect calls.

Anyway, it's not even clear that the team was wrong to discard this feedback. They got their tax break, didn't they? Along with a bunch of bad PR at the time. But I had totally forgotten that this thing even happened until this article brought it up. I'll probably forget again by next week, and so will most everyone else.
As a fellow language lover I second the suggestion, but not the reasoning. What's your evidence for "some thoughts only make sense in a given language"? From what I've read, this isn't agreed upon in the linguistic community. As for Esperanto, it's heavily biased towards Western speakers, so it wouldn't necessarily be easy to start with for someone whose native language is non-Western.
Your last point about the 'insane amount of individual votes' is really the whole problem.

In Europe, as I understand it, you vote for a single person and that person does the rest of the voting for your area. I'm sorry if I am wrong about that or oversimplified it; that's the current state of my knowledge on the subject.

Just so you know: America started out that way too, which is why we have the 'house of representatives'. The framers of the constitution intended that congressional districts never exceed 50K to 60K thousand. Unfortunately the average congressional district in America is currently about 700K.

Voting for someone to represent me and my closest 699,999 friends is barely a vote at all. With congressional districts that large (not to mention fcking gerrymandering) you are not really voting along with your peers. People are grouped together in strange ways.

Also, Germany is 1/4th the size of the US and the UK is 1/5th the size of the US.

The net result is; Americans are not accurately represented at a national level.

When you combine that with the fact that we pride ourselves on our independence and individuality; taking away our ability* to cast votes on local issues is probably not going to fly. If anything I'm guessing we'd want more power to vote individually. Two of the last five presidents who were elected were not chosen by the majority of the population.

I think a simpler solution like paper ballots and many polling places might help, but, the sheer manpower to make sure that goes well would be a massive undertaking. As I said, many multiples larger than in some European countries.

Having an explainable (to your point) system that is open and exhaustively tested is one path to avoid the current mess we find ourselves in.
If you don't already know how to, learn to cook. Start slow with the basics and work your way up. Try new things and combinations. Nothing is quite as satisfying as being able to create something delicious from the remnants in a friend's pantry, or preparing a delicious meal for someone you love, or a date, or just yourself.
I largely agree with you, with some amendment:

> The same is true about our knowledge of what will be possible 200 years from now.

The same _might_ be true. I think it's really a race in the current moment of time - will our knowledge of the physical world evolve fast enough to allow us to undo/transform the damage our growth does to the ecosystem? Or will the damage our growth does ultimately limit & maybe even revert our ability to grow?

The truth is... we don't know, I think both scenarios are plausible. For all we know, civilization might end in 50 years due to either one of multiple potential causes (war, global warming, etc) - or on the contrary, we may discover something truly transformative (like the ability to convert energy to matter and vice-versa) and all today's problems will seem silly. Or anything in between, I guess :)

This is exactly what I was looking for! I wonder though: how can I trust you guys that you'll successfully manage to redirect all emails? Loosing emails is really bad.

If weight is proportional to volume and not area, then it should be a function of height cubed, not height squared. This is why I came up with CBMI -- the cubic body mass index. Just take your height in feet (expressed as a decimal, so that 5'6" = 5.5') and cube it. That's your ideal weight. Much simpler and much more forgiving than BMI.
It gets worse! From updated story at same url (so annoying!) "Workers were reportedly expected to download a file to their Android phones, enable a setting that allows for the installation of apps from untrusted sources, and then bypass prompts warning that doing so could cause a security breach."

I know nothing about the app itself, but clearly the process around deploying it was a fiasco. We really need competent people running elections.

>Wouldn't GDP actually decrease if the same number of widgets are made, but now for cheaper and so through competition have less "value"?

Cheaper doesn't mean less "value". If we have inflation, prices go up but value doesn't increase, and if deflation decreases prices, that doesn't mean a decrease in value. GDP calculations try to account for this, to capture the fact that e.g. a $500 phone today contains a lot more "value" than a $500 phone from 1995.

GDP would hence (ideally) account for the change in value-per-dollar. It would also include whatever new output was made possible by there being more resources left over now due to less being spent to fulfill people's widget needs (i.e. the money now not being spent on widgets will instead be invested or spent on something else).
Just put together a naive version of wc in Go and got similar perf gains over the wc that ships with macOS.

That being said, unlike the OP, I don't think it means anything as wc is likely supporting more features than my program.

I've forgotten how old that book is. Geez time flies. Thanks for the clarification!
I think you are being disingenuousby saying 200 years.
Except medical advances and science, I'd be all willing to trade ALL the economic "growth" in the first world of the last 20 years if we could also revert wars, climate change and destruction of habbitat for the last 20 years.
Oh, and by "growth" I mean the insane asset price inflation and concentration wealth, strengthening of the military-industrial complex, monopolisation by corporations, too big to fail banks and financial institutions.
I eagerly look forward to a phone-number free world.

Would help a lot with global mobility.
Well, all things being equal a cleaner and more understandable language is going to be easier to implement, so I don't think difficulty of implementation should be dismissed so easily. Especially when the difficulty of implementation is not due to advanced features such as a fast runtime, resumable exceptions, proper tail calls, multi-method dispatch, pattern matching, powerful concurrency abstractions, SMP...

I will share one that has served me well for over 20 years: learn RDBMS and SQL. Learn normal forms, good schema design, and how to write complex queries. NoSQL adopters often avoided schemas like the plague and ended up with unmaintainable messes after a few years. I have seen more than a few NoSQL -> SQL conversions by now. Data is the most important thing in your app. Give it a great design.

Plus databases like Postgres have key/value and JSON data types. Once you are sure that is what you need it’s still there.

Rob Pikes 5th rule of programming: Data dominates.
Which is why American populist politicians have to invoke unrealized on-paper wealth in order to convince supporters that the populists could give them everything they wanted by taxing the uber-wealthy. This wouldn't work, of course; those figures are just current stock price * total holding, and if you make everyone sell at once whilst disincentivising holding American companies that paper wealth will just vanish.
Please ignore, I didn't read that sentence correctly.

The machine I tested has 256 GB of RAM (and amusingly exactly the same amount of disk space).
It's just so beautiful. I can't stop looking.
Both of them are invalid. What if you want a single-threaded allocator without the mutex overhead? And forbidding implementing traits for some types is just arbitrary stupidity. Developers don't need a nanny compiler to tell them which types they can or can't extend. Orphan instances are the solution in some cases.
As unfortunate as this is, I think this only applies to Indians and Chinese. I was surprised to see Yoluk did not want to bother applying to jobs in the US.

I am a foreign person from ROW (Rest of the World) in the US studying with F1 visa and trying to immigrate here via employment based options.

I have friends who also immigrated to Germany and Britain. The process is definitely easier and guaranteed there but for us ROW, the process does not look so bad to me right now. Maybe I just don't know how it should be.

After I graduate with F1, I can work up to 3 years with my OPT, companies apply to H1-B in that period. Some start the H1-B process even before you graduate if you have a bachelor's degree already. You have 4 chances in H1-B in the end.

EB-2 green card is also an option for us, as far as I know I can get that in less than 2 years. I've read about people who applied to EB-2 directly without H1-B and got that in their STEM OPT extension duration.

Finally, even though it is a slim chance, there is also diversity visa lottery. I have friends who got picked from DV lottery while studying here with F1. Everything became easier for them.

The US is still attractive to people like me, I don't think how this article portrays the immigration is true.

> he was suggesting its is his superior tool and technology that allowed his team to do this

He really thinks it makes sense that a "C program that was looked at by thousands of eyes of quite hardcore low-level Unix hackers over a few decades" is that much slower than something he threw together? That's like doing some back of the napkin math in a bar and declaring relativity wrong (while also not being Edward Witten). Any reasonable person would suspect that this isn't a very likely outcome and dig deeper to figure out if that's really true or not. My guess is he just implemented a very trivial and naive version of the C code and that's why it is faster.

>The study was clear that it's about distribution of swipes, which is a prerequisite of even getting to know the personality of eachother.

The author notes that the content of the picture itself is highly relevant to judging personality from a picture, and how we perceive people in pictures. Painters, for instance, have known to use this fact for the past two thousand years when portraying people - often, the context the subject is placed in is just as important, if not moreso, than the appearance of the person themselves.

>so taking care of appearence got much easier for men in the last decade.

Being easy does not mean that it is something that they (in general) follow through with. It is now more easy than ever to watch films, but that does not mean I will dedicate considerable time to learning to appreciate films, or learn what differentiates a good film from a bad one.

>Evolutionary biology shows that it's much much deeper within the sexes than just training.

I agree, but this just reinforces my point that it is a fallacy to expect a "market" that is so heavily inbalanced in this skill to be anything near equal. Men have to put a lot more effort into the first picture they show, since there is a large body of research showing that women are less stimulated by visual representations than men.

Many other variables were ignored in the experiment, all of which directly and importantly influence the charactersitics of the "Tinder economy"; profiles are assigned an ELO on Tinder, such that those who swipe more are pushed down the stack, using the boost/super like functionality dramatically increases the chance of getting a match, women and men both select on the contents of the bio, or whether it has an Instagram link, and how many followers are on the user's page, Tinder shows the mutual connections within social groups, etc. When I'm on Tinder, at least, I scroll through all the pictures, and I don't just look at the first one. It's unclear whether the author even used multiple pictures, forcing people to make decisions based on just the one - decisions they may not have made if there were multiple.

Not to mention the extremely small sample size, assuming that women all rate men (and indeed they rate them along the same axes as men rate women, even given just a picture), the use of deception by the author, and the bizarre comparison to real-world economies whose inequality is shaped by a variety of factors, from ownership of capital, unemployment, gender, race (the author even put South Africa on the graph!), etc. "Attractiveness" is left undefined qualitatively (and therefore meaningless to assign any value to its quantiative measurement, as if such a thing were objective, even on Tinder), and it is unclear whether this includes the user's bio or not.

A like, on its own, on Tinder doesn't get you anywhere. It opens the potential (and a low potential) to find something (usually sex, in which it is no surprise that people selected based on atractiveness and extrapolate on that atractiveness from personal biases). The currency of Tinder, if anything, sohuld be modelled as "successful" meets.
Emotional intelligence. Specifically: self awareness, self management, social awareness, and relationship management.
I think this is a bad way to gauge an economy.

If you want to look at why people are poor, I would look towards corruption rather than merely inequality. Or maybe people in a country are poor on paper but can afford a hundred dollars of luxuries a week.

Using gini reminds me of GIGO. You used a poor metric for information, your decisions are going to be poor.

> An example would be to remove the $50b per year water subsidies for the beef industry, and make consumers pay for the approximately 4000 gallons of water required to produce a pound of meat in the grocery store.

Isn't that a fancy way of saying "eating meat should be a privilege for the wealthy"?

The point of mass production isn't just that it's produced in masses, it's also about being affordable by the masses.

Also, would you be willing to not travel around the globe or are you not doing that? Imho traveling is a luxury. It's fine if you do it, but don't tell other people to be sustainable if you do (or did extensively, nobody is worse than the person that lived a life full of sin, converts and immediately tells everybody how amoral they are).
I'm seeing lots of new job boards recently. I guess the market must be quite hot right now.

I normally start the conversation with the "talent agent" or "technical recruiting specialist" with some pleasantries and then: "Before we get to deep into this and I waste your time, my expected minimum salary is $X. Is that inline with what you are willing to offer your ideal candidate?"

That way I am being the magnanimous one in not wasting THEIR time, and they can't come back with well our salary ranges are based on experience blah blah blah.

Do I leave money on the table by showing my number first? Possibly, but I know what I need to live my semi-extravagant, travel-filled life, and still save.
I train deadlifts by using the lightest possible weights and doing 2 sets of practice reps. Focus on keeping the spine stable, use legs to push the weight up. Don't add weight until you video record yourself and ensure your back and hips are on point. Back needs to not bend, and hips need to thrust forward, bar path vertical, close to the body as that's our center of mass. Ensure your sternum stays on the same plane as your stomach and neck, keep the upper back from rounding.
That's what "decades of man-hours" means.
> normal phone lines were overloaded due to new data reporting requirements.

I suspect their phone lines were overloaded because they optimistically assumed the app would handle the majority of the reporting. When Plan A failed, there was a knock-on effect on Plan B, causing it to subsequently fail.

I'm a USA-ian in Canada, working remotely. I'm in a big Canadian city, we have a hockey team.

The average IT salaries where I live are in the ballpark of 70-100k Canadian Dollars (CAD) -- at least according to Indeed.ca, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. Given a 20-30% currency difference that's capping out at around $80K US Dollars (USD). Not terrible by US national standards, but not impressive for tech; i.e EMC offered me $66k USD out of college in 2008.

Meanwhile, on Reddit's r/networking, or r/sysadmin, where they have periodic salary surveys, network engineers in NoVA or Chicago are pulling $105k-115 USD with only 5 years experience and a CCNA -- and that's just an average, you can often do way better.

In Calgary the highest salaries were related to oil companies, and for tech they seemed to cap out at around $150K CAD for SCADA devs, instrumentation specialists, etc. I'm sure there are higher paying gigs available, but you're getting into specialized, only-found-by-word-of-mouth roles.

I've been lucky to be remote for the past 5 years, working for US firms, but if I wasn't it would probably be close to a 50% pay cut, on top of a higher cost of living. The COL wouldn't shock someone from NoVA or Seattle or Chicago but it's higher than you'd think.

Re: Ottawa -- I'd assume that, like Washington DC, the government contracting and federal bureaucracy are effectively their own mini employment universe that plays by their own rules, and doesn't reflect the rest of the country (e.g. security clearances mean your job can't be outsourced to India).
