Seeing Boeing engineering practices first hand gave me anxiety and concern for the safety of air travel and US defense. Boeing is basically 100's of siloed companies living under a broken umbrella. Everyone is reinventing the wheel. Sharing code is not possible. No inner sourcing. Tons of duplication everywhere. It's crazy the amount of waste. I watched nothing happen for 3 years other than catastrophic failure and honestly I'm glad to be gone and not working with them.

Military projects have it the worst. Depending on the program and funding, they either have access to modern tooling or such little funding that it prevents them from using something made in the last century. This company probably has one of the most impressive development tool catalogs a company can have, but most developers can't even take advantage of it. They have everything and a lot of the teams I worked with just couldn't use the stuff so the licenses sit on shelves burning cash. They renewed software we migrated away from, just in case... for auditing purposes. WTF?

They always had a crazy security protocol for why they cant do something too. I get it, defense is important. They tell me they want an air gapped system for X, cool here is the link to software X and MD5 from our authorized site/customer area. They're not allowed to download it, I still get it. Looks like I'm traveling to Colorado to hand over a USB stick. Without a second thought, I watched the SRE plug it right into his machine. Dude no. WTF? This would have been safer to download. Countless screen shares with people exposing private keys and passwords. The list just goes on and on and on. It's security theatre.

This company is also in love with the H1-B program. I don't mind H1-B at all, but when companies exploit humans from other countries so they don't have to pay American wages, that's where I draw the line, it's bad for everyone except Boeing. They are specifically gouging people from India. Couple this with their time tracking policies which I wont cover, their business practices are fairly absurd and rather disgusting.

Purchasing, holy balls. Every team purchases software differently. There is no consolidation or money saving practices. This has to do with funding, but someone could do this more intelligently. I tried having the conversation with them. Boeing, we want to give you back 250K in savings a year by not having 45 pieces of paper, it's a burden for us too. They don't care. Nothing matters over there. You follow the policy or look for a new job/vendor. It made me really sad having to work with them. I was so excited too, and it quickly faded with all the stupid stuff they've imposed on themselves which has led to lives being lost and costing people jobs.

Thank you for documenting this. I have been getting exactly this kernel panic dump on my 16-inch MacBook Pro, and it's good to know I'm not sitting on a lemon.

It's just the whole package, from recording to exporting.

For editing, Camtasia makes it almost too easy to create nice looking title overlays with backgrounds, dimming / blurring areas, highlights, zooming / panning and other basic effects. Even pretty complicated animations too, without having to mess around with key framing or needing a video editing degree.

For example, I made the intro animation for my Docker course[0] in Camtasia in like 15 minutes by screwing around by dragging sliders around until it looked cool. Of course it's not the best thing ever, but it's one of those tools where things just feel intuitive to use without having to Google anything. That whole video is done with Camtasia too btw.

DaVanci is a much more powerful editor and you can do crazy Hollywood style animations and effects, but for someone who just wants to do typical screencasting edits, it's hard to beat Camtasia's efficiency. I'm sure with enough time you could do those things with DaVinci by making your own custom scripts and effects templates but it will take a decent amount of effort to get there instead of getting all of that out of the box.

I know ScreenFlow is also quite good. Very comparable to Camtasia. Camtasia seems to have better license terms and isn't MacOS exclusive.

There's things like Kdenlive too. I super appreciate the development work they've put into it and I think it'll improve over time, but it's not comparable to Camtasia in terms of usability when it comes to creating nice looking titles, animations, etc. I don't think you'll find anyone who would disagree if they've used both tools for a while.

From the linked email:

I'd venture to say this means: open-source repo will be kept public.

Will we be able to match a Qt release with the corresponding source?
How to infect himself? A short walk in a busy hospital would take care of that quickly... but that really doesn't matter for the argument.

> He's suggesting a program of trained medical professionals, isolation, observation (...) he just ought to go off and infect himself

Yes, that is the point! He is suggesting something that medical experts already consider dangerous and unethical, otherwise it would already be done. He wants medical experts give some veneer of science to something completely immoral just by seeking higher financial compensation to those that might be affected.

So what he is "proposing" involving everyone else taking a lot more risk, without any real consequence for him. This is no display of SITG, quite the opposite. He just sees it as a game of "Heads some might lose their life, but tails we might win a little, so let's find the price point where this is even".

By asking if he is willing to infect himself to do it, it is not a matter of doing it for the science or the economics of betting. It is just a pure ethical filter: "So far your words only risk the lives of others, but if you really think this is the best course of action then you need to demonstrate you are willing to put your ass on the line. Can you?"

When my employer offered to let me work remote he also offered to let me expense part of a larger apartment precisely because the job requires a large dedicated work space. I made it work in a 1br but it was tight.
I was furloughed as were many of my neighbours and friends in tech. Some are drawing up lists for layoffs as we speak.

There’s few job opportunities now. Many of us hate the cut but do enjoy the stability of keeping our jobs.

Overall, I think tech will be bruised but not completely shattered like others. The economy is probably going to take years to recover.

It's stories like this that can teach us how useless much of the things we think are "secure" are actually not.

I'm always frustrated with the bogus security measure out there that do nothing to stop the criminals and just serve as a hassle to honest people.

Checks are one of those. I have a micr font and a few nice check mockups in Photoshop for "verifying" checking accounts for direct deposit. I'll simply plug in the bank routing number and account number, print it out and write "void" on it. As if that is some kind of security. I also keep some blank checks in case I need to actually print a check. There is nothing special about them except for the number placement (magnetic ink hasn't been a thing for a long while, it's almost all optical now).

Another is a utility bill. I've had several occasions where a utility bill with your name on it is required to verify your location and identity and I either don't yet have the utilities in my name or they are in the name of a roommate. A quick scan, clone brush, and type tool and you've got a utility bill in your name.

I have never had anyone take a second glance at any of this stuff. It always works.

If the vast majority of shoppers perceive a product as lower quality it is, almost by definition, worth less in a market. Quality is a very tricky idea to pin down (read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance if you'd like to hear a lot on the idea) and claiming that your own highly biased opinion on the matter is what counts as "objective" is a pretty bold claim.

Employers reducing your pay by X while you receive X from UBI would be the "good outcome" because it means that you don't depend on the employer as much as before.

If you are earning $2000 a month, and the company knows that you were earning $1000 a month from the government, and they cut your pay to $1000 a month, you’re still only getting $2000 a month. Your overall financial health, and way of life has not changed one bit. you have simply replaced one source of income with another. You’re still making $2000 a month, the only difference is, the corporation doesn’t have to pay you. We have simply replaced one source of income with another. You’re still making $2000 a month, the only difference is, the corporation doesn’t have to pay you. If a Toyota Camry cost $10,000, and all customers are getting $1000 a month free from the government, then raise the price of the Camry to $11,000. Services and goods have not decreased in price, and I contend they will increase, resulting in absolutely zero positive affect. So what if you don’t have to depend on that employer for that extra thousand dollars, you’re depending on the government now. Which is better, depending on the government, or the free market Services and goods have not decreased in price, and I contend they will increase, resulting in absolutely zero positive affect.

I suspect the whichever department is responsible for the intersection has some internal rules about where they put what kind of traffic signage and this merging area is too small for a proper merge with a yield sign so they just slapped a stop sign on it knowing full well that most drivers will treat it like a yield it in light traffic conditions.

Of course this causes problems when dutifully law abiding drivers from out of town follow the law to the letter and cause near misses or rear endings because they are behaving unexpectedly compared to normal traffic but that's not the problem of the people who put the sign there. Ignoring these kinds of edge cases and expecting someone else (often the courts) to sort it out on a case by case bases when it causes problems isn't exactly uncommon in government. It's like their version of an unanswered bug report from 2010 with a bunch of "hey I found this by googling and I have the same issue" comments below it.

I doubt there is any such person. Even fairly crappy programmers with 20 years of experience have seen a lot, both technical and otherwise, and occasionally it makes a big difference.

Did everyone just forget about the Netflix Prize? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_Prize]

There was a brief time when they had the absolute best recommendation algorithm on the planet. It was intentionally replaced by something utterly different which is geared to simply steer everyone to IP that they own. It is not remotely similar. I have absolutely hated every change they've made to their UI since they ditched the old ratings system, too (forces you to use the mouse and sets you up for fumbling what should be clear actions, so you spend more time browsing - which costs them almost nothing - and less time watching). My guess is, research indicated they'd make more money with these changes than by licensing content audiences actually prefer and building a sane interface.

As it turns out, the Netflix golden age was a short-lived anomaly if not outright farce. If you want decent curation of content and also to be able to watch it, you will have to pay through the nose or pirate. Same as it ever was. It's consumer hostile, but the system is working as its overseers intend. Whether it's really the best long term strategy is still an open question in my book.
Drew, if you are reading this, please add Gogs/Gitea and OneDev to this list of benchmarks on the performance page.

At least they try to detect the topic. Reddit's app has for some time been permanently showing a "look at /r/coronavirus" banner at the top of the default Home tab. I'm not exactly sure how they're moderating that or whatever, but the fact it's there all the time doesn't seem to reduce conspiracies flying around the rest of their site and they don't make any effort to attach it to them posts.
Also an easy JB for iPhones was posted this week. With that you can make Apollo your default reddit application.
The person you're replying to isn't saying not to have accountants. That would be absurd.

They are saying, clearly: don't let the accountants run the business.

> If you know that everyone is receiving thousand dollars a month from the government for free, why not race car price is $1000?

Competition from other car-makers, which is precisely capitalism. Otherwise it would be illegal price collusion.

> Why not raise the rent $1000?

You can only do that if supply/demand in your area supports that, and that's often because of local restrictions on increasing housing (i.e. as seen in a variety of exclusive Bay Area hamlets).

With UBI, more people would be able to choose not to inhabit these supply-constrained housing markets, which might actually temper rents in those areas. If every place implements excessive supply constraints on housing, that would again be collusion - which is another issue that should be addressed simultaneously.
It's so hard to distinguish between a valid attempt to keep costs down, and a cynical attempt to increase profit. Rather than attempt it, you could rely on the market. Sadly the market is highly imperfect, jobs are too sticky, the cost to enter/leave too high, and it would really help if the market was more fluid so workers could actually maximize their profit just like companies do.

> This is what happens when you let the accountants run the business.

You're shooting the messenger when the core issue is that Boeing, like all publicly traded companies do not have medium to long-term views for their business. It is always quarter-to-quarter. That is what management is judged on, because their job and their compensation is tied to maximize shareholder returns.
Are we allowed to discuss this? Or will the H1B-CEO of google take it down?
While this feels like it's true in the broad strokes, and it is certainly a good quip, it's important to remember that there are always going to be people on the border between one and the other, who can easily be influenced to fall a certain way if they believe a certain exclamation or falsehood.

It’s unclear if it happens but it has been mentioned more than once over the last two years.

That is true, so long as the employer does not cut their pay to rock bottom, and their landlord does not raise their rent, and the price of services and goods do not also increase UBI only makes sense in a completely static economy where nothing rises. There has never been a successful economy in the history of mankind that has been able to do that.
How so? Please read the comment again. Where is the exact wording that made you feel that way? I can correct it.
Course Boeing outsourced a lot of that technology to save money. Which didn't save money and now the tech is available to their competitors.
I guess only time will tell. Though I have been lucky enough to work with a lot of 'grey beards' in my career, so I'm hopeful :-)
