And my point was that your comment came off as dismissive towards the topic of the justification. The parallel point was that presenting this sort of dismissal might fly on Hacker News but it's also why mainstream support has been iffy. I'm not arguing that the entire apparatus is good simply because it can service the elderly, I'm arguing that having a dismissive attitude towards these types of micro-issues, like helping the elderly, is why the movement has been losing steam with the general public. The general public has general needs and dismissing services because of lofty abstract principles might make for appealing tech-centric arguments but it totally fails to provide an alternate solution to the original problem. The topic is political in nature and so political desires can't be ignored or else support will wane.
Thank you for this detailed write up, it mirrors my experiences.
You can have named parameters and backward compatibility with method signatures, Groovy does that [1].

Ok, it cheats a little bit because named params are actually a syntax sugar for Maps. But other languages do the same (e.g. Python) and is very useful too. And if you can type check the map (as in Typescript) the functionality is equivalent to named params.

There were some people claiming that RH erroneously exercised their options on r/wallstreetbets. Could be a hoax, but if it isn't, then that seems like grounds for compensation.

Of course, no one complains when RH makes a mistake in the client's favor.
Everyone moving to UTC could make people start thinking about what time is actually appropriate to start the day instead of defaulting to 8 or 9 am. A lot of people might not want to think about that, but it could end up quite a bit better for public health.
yeah it was something like, you ran a lower clock speed but a higher multiplier? I've been out of the hardware game... well, ever since then. But that's my recollection. 450 vs 464 was the first place you were likely to see stability issues depending on your specific setup, but most were stable to at least 464.
It doesn't mean that they do. Their system is partitioned to a point, and something like image processing is very easy to offload and expose via HTTP, for sure.

Indeed, and not only are their tests automated, they also rely on production traffic to expose failure cases. Since some problems that are exposed are only applicable at scale. They use canary deployments to slowly ramp up traffic to the new version; rolling back if they detect anomalies.

Having 50% more consumption than the competitors is nothing to crow about. Great that they can claim 30% lower consumption, but that’s quite the spin to put on the story.
I did this recently, and discovered that I’m just plain burnt out in general with the whole industry. Between the egos, the never ending stream of self-inflicted wounds (tech debt), and the political jockeying I’ve just had it.

That aside, it is a tougher transition back to IC than I thought it would be. My new manager asks what I’d do, management wise, sometimes, but I don’t like being put in that position: there’s a reason I left management. Also, even though I wrote code frequently on my own time and contributed to designs, that’s not the same as being in the thick of it, and my skills deteriorated noticeably. That’s a hard thing to manage.
We use them to reformat code before it hits any shared branch, and we also reject commits that fail linting (unless they're going into a hotfix branch).

Formatting all code using the same strict settings is hugely helpful when looking at change history. It also frees developers from ever thinking about formatting, which takes up many more brain cycles than people realize.
Unlikely to have compensation for trades, and only people with limit orders set before the outage would be able to claim damages.

It's no different than you breaking your phone or losing your network connection. Nothing is guaranteed to work all the time. RH might face fines for the extended nature of the outage though, specially since they've managed to avoid them for plenty of past mistakes so far.
I live in a country with good free* ($0.25) healthcare, but it's not limitless. The waiting lines can be months long, especially common problems like cancer. Sometimes it's not just the medical bills, but a caretaker might have to quit their job and need money for that, or nearby accommodation if they're out of town.

My mother got full cancer treatment for free*, but the wards were always full, and she stayed at home so someone from out of town could have a place to stay. The hospitals didn't have the right to force patients to go home though; they just asked nicely if they wouldn't mind staying elsewhere.
I think that's why frameworks are so popular: They extensively constrain the solution space. Folks lament their usefulness. ("You don't need React for that! Just use jQuery.", "Why not use raw SQL instead of an ORM?") I don't mean to belittle framework criticisms. Leaky abstractions, over-engineering, and peculiar implementations encouraged by a framework's model are legitimate commonplace warts. We've seemingly converged on these super-APIs because flowing through such a narrow (but not too narrow!) solution space is worth the relatively minor headaches.
Because once a feature is introduced it needs to be supported for eternity, every feature has to do with backwards compat. The language designers need to make sure the features are exactly what we want and need before introducing something half baked.
I think the main point is they couldn't get jobs. At one point in the movie they said that every job opening for a security guard draws 500 applicants with college degrees. None of them had college degrees.

Low latency query execution and it scales down well to small datasets, are my reasons for really liking it. Top throughout when scanning TB+ of data on multiple nodes isn't my use case; it's answering a query in web request response times over a few hundred million rows of data.

The low latency to query execution is really nice.

Academics and other people that rely on scientific publications. Most of the world's knowledge in science is locked into PDFs and screenshots (or even pictures) of manufacturer's (often proprietary) software... So extracting it in a more structured way would be a win (so HTML may not be best). On a related note, I've seen people using Okular to convert PDF tables to a usable form (to be honest its table extraction tool is one of the best i've seen despite being pretty manual).

Perkins Coie.

Well known clients include msft/uber. Bitcoin/cryptocurrency practice is well regarded.

I think being close to a lot of tech clients helps. We get some flack for shunning slack/teams/gchat4business/stride/chime or wtf amazon uses/workplace by fb/etc and relying on “antiquated” email. We definitely prefer to work more in thoughtfully composed emails compared to a fluid team chat. It’s also easier to organize and manage.

However, I’ve been pleased with my colleagues ability to ask relatively smart questions about ML. For example, people are pretty good at responding to ML hand wavey bullshit with specific questions about training data, labeling, features, model architecture, etc.

IMO, we have some younger, eg 40-50, people in leadership positions in my practice group.
It does have something to do with the light though because you have a natural circadian rhythm that is disturbed if you are forced to get up earlier than your body should and for a lot of people that would mean that driving early in the morning, even if they have been doing it all year round is going to be more dangerous.
And even then, limit orders are placed on a best effort basis. I'm sure their terms of service say as much. I have had limit orders not get placed before on otherwise functioning platforms.

How well do those work on a single 8GB node? Because ClickHouse works very well at that scale, with a single C++ executable.

There's large complexity and cost overheads to Hadoop solutions, and not everyone has actual big data problems. ClickHouse hugely outperforms on query patterns that would devolve into table scans in a row store, while working at row store volumes of data without a bunch of big nodes.
I'm not sure I agree. People board public transportation without tickets because they can jump turnstiles -- the authentication mechanism doesn't really factor into it.

The way you prevent hoppers is you add a full gate that only turns once a person is authenticated. And then separately you authenticate at the gate using a sensible system like an NFC chip or swiped card.

Now, maybe the plan is to get rid of all of the gates then automatically bill hoppers later, so it won't matter if they board without a ticket. Let's ignore the fact that this would require a city-wide database of biometric data for everyone using the subway. Even assuming a city can pull that off, you really don't want to be using an authentication mechanism that can be circumvented by a burqa/hoodie/mask and a dress/crutches/pebble. So gait analysis isn't even particularly good for after-the-fact identification of hoppers.

At one point “simple” was not really a fair assessment of Java, especially if you had to do multithreaded / concurrent code back when we had broken primitives in the Java 3-5 days.

Anecdote from yesterday. Me staring at merge-pathnames and wondering why everything was backwards from the physical layout of the paths. Ah, it is because the default is optional because of the direction in which the function is usually used. If I didn't take the 5 minutes to wonder about what I was missing I would have implemented a macro to do it the way I thought was most sensible. In the context of the op, I can only imagine that the impulse to pause and reflect on the question of why, or what motivates the desired for a new option has fallen victim to the fact that there are thousands of people for whom the flag solves a real and tangible problem immediately.

I'm a "transactional lawyer" who negotiates contracts, forms companies, handles regulatory issues, and advises on strategy. That's as opposed to a "litigator" who handles court cases. But I've actually seen practitioners outside my own specialty who've integrated newer technology much more deeply. Automated case assessment in some immigration practices, for example.

In my experience, there is some correlation between technology and age. But keep in mind that 55 year old lawyers were born in 1965, started coming out of law schools in the late 1980s, and became established in the early Internet era, before the bubble burst.

Part of what you're getting at might be down to how the role of older lawyers tends to change, especially in firms. I would say most older lawyers in transactional fields do far more advisory and strategic work, akin to consulting or even lobbying, than issue research, contract review, or routine drafting. If the senior partner's working pretty old school, but all the junior partners, associates, secretaries, and paralegals under them use their own tools, that's still a pretty newfangled picture, overall.

Part of it may also be certain specialties that deal routinely with government bodies, like court systems and regulators, with their own adoption curves. But don't jump to conclusions there based on standards for consumer technology. The websites may look clunky, and the interfaces may be pretty retro. But the databases involved are often functionally complete, resilient, and workable for the severely outnumbered public servants that use them most.
The point of the film was that poverty forces the poor into ruthless conflict with each other as they battle for the scraps of the rich. It’s pretty blatant. As was the indifference of the rich to the struggles of the poor and their own inhumanity toward them.
The problem is that you need an XML schema (or at least inline annotations on elements) to designate some value as decimal or float - it's not encoded directly in the data. I think that's what OP really meant.

Rust has a few interesting things going for it versus Golang.

It's more difficult to learn, it's more intimidating to get into and keeps more devs away because of that, and it's in high demand. That can be a great combination for job security.

Golang and Python are also both perfectly fine and in demand, however they don't have the complexity / difficulty barrier to entry that Rust does. In terms of candidates in the job market, Python is pretty well flooded at this point (especially for less demanding work).

If you wanted to stand out from a pack, I'd choose Rust over Golang and Golang over Python. However you'll see a lot of lower-mid and mid-tier ability devs in Golang that have come from languages like PHP, because it's fairly easy to dive into. You don't see that nearly so often with Rust.
kotlin has this too .. but java does not have named params.
It would be a good addition imo (think Rect(left, top, ....) , especially associated with default params.

Alternatively, they could automatically generate a builder class for records.

As always in java, I guess that somebody will duct tape an annotation based solution on top of the language to solve this.
> But only in the short term, since lenders will catch on and increase their interest rates to offset the inflation.

No, because the reason you lower interest rate targets are exactly the conditions which provide lower returns on alternative investments besides lending. You can only afford to raise rates for lending if you've got something better to do with the money.
I think this kind of thinking is roughly analogous to "why buy a phone now, when the latest model will be released next year"? Or, perhaps more on-topic, "why do any astronomical observation with this telescope when we will have a better one in a few years"?

> A major, hugely successful product, that is in the market for 32 years, and has seen many implementations, both on client as well as on server side, must be "mature". No?!

No. HTTP/HTML are mature; IRC is just old :P

The IRC ecosystem is as if we’d reached HTTP/0.9 + HTML/1.0, and everybody collectively agreed to just stay there forever for some reason. “Mature” to me implies that a product has spent many years iterating on a design to reach, at the very least, a local maxima - ideally getting past that and evolving to keep up with the rest of the industry. IRC on the other hand, seems to have had a couple of years of work at the start, and then remained set in stone for 30 years...
