The idea that the perceived value of something is equal to its actual value is far from reality.

I have met plenty of people that went to top 20 schools that just gave up once they got there yet, still managed to graduate and go to graduate school. I have met plenty of people from my undergrad (definitely not a top 20 school) who were absolutely relentless in their studies and managed to have far more lucrative careers than those slackers who went to top 20 schools.

I mean, I have nearly 3 degrees in EE, CS and Physics.

Physics is usually one of the hardest majors at any university and my homework assignments/tests weren't much different than MIT's homework assignments/tests; sometimes they were a lot easier and sometimes they were on par with their graduate classes. For my lectures where MIT had their OCW version online, they were near identical; the lectures where there wasn't a corresponding OCW lecture, the quality was around the same. Moreover, CS and EE weren't much easier than physics so I can't imagine top 20 universities had much higher quality there either.

(My university also deflated grades to the point where the average GPA was a 2.7 which made it that much more cut-throat (since a 3.0 was the cutoff for many engineering jobs))

(Also, from what I recall, UCSB was much harder to get into than my school yet, they were blacklisted at many engineering companies for having the earned reputation of being a party school; while, at my school, we had those companies consistently come to our career fairs)

If idiots manage to graduate top 20 schools and yet idiots of similar caliber can't graduate from schools that are far below the top 20, their grade inflation is completely unwarranted.
Wonder what an effective steam rocket in lower atmosphere would look like.

It also requires buying an iPhone and almost none of the features work with your desktop (unless it’s a mac) so IMO that’s not so easy.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. Tesla has been instrumental to opening up the EV floodgates.

What I’m saying is that we need to set examples with regards to manufacturing, recycling, waste management and resource consumption

Today we use and abuse a bit to much.

It will realize prices of stuff, meaning less overall consumption per individual, but might end up globally sustainable.
Recently started using this. Works brilliantly for our production infrastructure. Well done to Ansible team.
This is the same rant one said about windows many years ago, one should not bloat and add more and more features. The answer is still the same, things need to evolve if it gives meaning and give improved user experience and value. It is only natural to bundle more and more functionality in a product.
Many years ago IE 6 won the browser war and was set in maintenance mode for many years, but no progress made it easy for someone else to take over. First Firefox and then later Chrome.
I think the Chrome team have learned their lessons and will continue to improve the product and make everyone else follow as long as there is user demand for the features and it gives strategic sense for Google.
Not at his facility. Those machines run constantly. The regulars have to skip preventative maintenance, so they can keep running them to keep up with volume.
Give me a break. Everyone needs a hotfix occasionally.

If your users are asking for something and your response is “you’re just doing it wrong!”, you’re probably the one who is wrong.
I want to make it easy for myself to deploy small projects and not think about infrastructure.
I stick the *.sql files in the resources, and then created my own helper functions to grab them by filename.

I was very new to Java at the time, so I had to spin my wheels on wrapping my head around how Java manages resources for an afternoon. It would have been done in no time at all if I had known about the Reflections library at the time.
Workflow changed with darktable 3 and to get the most out of it I recommend reading this article: https://pixls.us/articles/darktable-3-rgb-or-lab-which-modul...
Many modules - that still work - are now deprecated in favour of RGB workflow new modules. The article above suggests proper alternatives for each of them.
BizDevSecOps is what you are looking for.
I felt "Nothing here" was good enough vs "Same here". Guess not. Fuck those people. Thanks :)
I am kinda experiencing this in my journey learning cloud solutions.

When I first started two years ago, all AWS solutions were really interesting and I was deeply hooked. Managed systems were the way to go. And that is explainable. We sysadm all lived the hassle of maintaining live production systems, and the thought of delegating all this maintenance while focusing on the core functionality is quite seductive.

Many caveats arise, though. Integration although native in AWS is not without its inherent complexity. Costs are opaque. Performance is sometimes subpar. And when something breaks it can take a while to debug a proprietary, closed application, not to mention when you come across an actual cloud framework bug or downtime.

I was painstakingly rediscovering the flexibility of self-managed systems. Yes, there is more maintenance work, but the core skills related to managing your own cluster of computers is timeless, while tying yourself to a vendor or framework is a gamble that can bite you hard in the long run.

Edit: I am not advocating against using cloud solutions. The ideal scenario is something between managed and unmanaged solutions, the best of both worlds, but that has to be studied in a case by case basis
Socioeconommic conditions are themselves not independent of race though. It's not so long ago that it was perfectly legal to discriminate who got a job on the basis of Race, and it was commonplace for people to do so.
I'm going to read my children a picture book titled "Scraggles the Puppy Explores the Forest of Simulated Annealing."
And? Why the exception for African Americans?
Apparently there is an actual experiment on six-year-olds taking place [1,2]:

"Experiment. Consider ten children of ages between six and ten and consider ten high-school
teachers of physics and mathematics. The high-school teachers of physics and mathematics will
have all the time they require to refresh their quantum mechanics background, and also to update
it with regard to recent developments in quantum information. The children on the other hand
will have quantum theory explained in terms of the graphical formalism. Both teams will be
given a certain set of questions, for the children formulated in diagrammatic language, and for
the teachers in the usual quantum mechanical formalism. Whoever solves the most problems
and solves them in the fastest time wins. If the diagrammatic language is much more intuitive,
it should in principle be possible for the children to win."

This problem isnt really fixed with === per se. Converting strings to numbers is a common need, and the weird type conversation here is broken (and being fixed) for more than just implicit conversions in comparisons.

The PHP team is calling it "saner numeric strings"...seems to indicate they agree.
In a way they already have:

They couldn’t get the CEO to make a statement? A 2 minute rail delay gets an immediate apology from the CEO in Japanese companies - I guess destroying another country’s beauty and livelihood doesn’t warrant that.
I bought a pine phone the other month when the postmarketOS version was released. I’m looking forward to getting it some time in November.

I think it's taboo because certain segments of society secretly think there might be an element of truth and are disturbed by the implications and potential ramifications if the theory was proven to be true.
OLEDs can be turned on and off in fractions of a second. The camera sensor could take a picture while the led is off and there’d be no way to tell.
No, it still forwards to a docker internal/bridge ip, just using iptables forwarding instead of a tcp-proxy.
net=host just uses the host context.
I sure have, but not for any of those reasons, and especially not that cowboy "just log in, change couple of lines and restart". The reason is always when the time, cost and complexity of managing the control plane outweighs the benefits.

You can still have a perfectly good, quickly executing, end-to-end CI/CD pipeline for which the deployment step is (gasp) put some files on a server and start a process.

The inflexion point for this varies by organisation, but I've never seen an environment with less than three services where managing container scaffolding is a net positive.
> When we do need to scale up and add a new web server or task runner, it takes about an hour of my day.

So you manually create and configure your VMs?

Do you have some kind of HA for your database? If a VM goes offline, how quickly can you replace it?

Maybe you don't need to go back to Docker or Kubernetes, but at least consider using one of the hyperscale cloud providers, with its auto-scaling groups and multiple data centers per region, so you can have a system thatheals itself even while you're asleep or on a plane.
I love containers! I just hate that so many people assume that means docker and ignore the things you refer to. lxc is so nice and fast... I haven't taken the time to test out nspawn yet though.
But that's a problem: it maintains backwards compatability with a LOT of well known problems/inconsistencies while introducing more features/inconsistencies for which you can just hope they don't mess up this time. It's a bit of good and a lot of bad from both worlds. I'm just so glad I don't have to use PHP anymore and no amount of a swine's make up will change this.
Racism is bullshit. Race is a social construct but it’s definitely has real implications.
==Even so, in such case the decision is based on race or let say gender and that alone is discriminating.==

Is it discrimination if the decision is based on intelligence alone?
> There should be no expectation that Instagram ever deletes anything permanently from their servers.

No, there should be this expectation. If I have a photo of myself that I'm not comfortable being saved somewhere, there should be an expectation that when I delete this from a service, that service will actually delete it.

The expectation should be that the service will do what it said, not that it hid everything very well.
Not a serious reply, but it may interesting: One million containers over 3500 nodes in 2 minutes: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/Microsoft-Ignite-Orl...
This is what I hate every time there's a big discussion about subsidies for electric cars and how they shouldn't exist if they can't be sold without subsidies. There are so many things we use every day that get (or got) massive subsidies so that we get them. Even the fossil fuel industry is still getting massive subsidies [0]. And the bailout of US automakers cost taxpayers an estimated 10B [1], which is pretty much a subsidy.

The non-exhaustive list of reasons to dislike containers is also a pretty light list of reasons we’re adopting them. We’re doing so thoughtfully, and moving at a deliberate pace–with this migration, we’re necessarily changing attitudes and culture. Of course, we’re always thinking about break-glass access for something that really needs to be done right now, but... slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Given its analogies to fields not directly related to software engineering, like military and finance, I suspect it’s targeting a broader audience than developers.
> No mammal killing in agriculture? Good luck. Even biological agriculture farms have snake shelters to keep the vermin numbers in check.

Just like the other comment explained, while accidental marine mammal bycatch will always happen, it's possible to reduce it drastically, at a reasonable cost.

Similarly, while our agriculture cannot be completely separated from the animal world, there are low-hanging fruits. We can collectively decide that we shouldn't eat meat from animals raised in horrid conditions, and accept the condition that we can't reasonably do that without cutting a bit of the average 100kg of meat a year.

A zero-carbon lifestyle is completely unattainable for the simple reason that we breathe out CO2. Zero deforestation is crazy because people rely on wood for heating in winter.

Overfocusing on the ambitions of the end goal is missing the point.
For those missing the reference:

The wiki page is fine, but the video is quite literally Not Safe For Work. My German boss at the chemical company showed the whole team. Kinda gorey but in the Monty Python Black Knight sort of way, and similarly hilarious. Klaus' story is made up but it's based upon thousands of tales written in blood. Definitely gave me an enhanced appreciation for safety culture.
But it does break a lot of times and still contains a lot of inconsistencies.
I was the same, as soon as I launched a rocket I was done.

3 years later I played a multiplayer once a week with my buddies during COVID lockdown, as soon as we launched again I got bored. They are going again with more friends and I just join the discord for the chat, I don’t open the game up.

I don’t like solve the same fundamental problem over and over again so, I launched the rocket, done.
Is it really true that eating meat causes cancer? The argument is vague but this seems to be an important part of it.
Anyone using open source varnish with some sort of shared storage across multiple instances? What is your setup?
Interesting. My Palm V (palm pilot) had a nice transreflective display 20 years ago. It was great in direct sunlight. I often think of that when using devices that can’t crank up the nits enough to compete with sunlight.
One unintended upside is that (mathematically) the problems they came up with are very interesting.
I agree with parent though. It’s a noble goal, but you have to name it something else. Otherwise it’s moving goal posts. Call it reduced by catch fishing or something catchier, but don’t mix two goals by coöpting a term that already has established meaning.
After graduating and spending some years in the real world, I am quite astonished that this is more often than not a rule in the academia. Going through courses deeply rooted in computer science without learning clean coding skills and interpretation of computer programs (clean code and SICP) is crazy.
Depends, if you got FB stock awards 8 years ago that were valued at $20,000, those would be worth more than $150,000 today.

It’s not unreasonable to believe someone could keep their stock for 8 years and have the combined total be worth 2.2M.
I think not conforming to gender stereotypes is very difficult in any society and has the same sort of conflicts that exist today. Several of the authors listed were outed as their assigned genders against their will, even though they may have also insisted on being referred to with male pronouns or performed the dress and behavior of a male. I don’t know how else we are to evaluate that gender and conformations(or refusal to conform) to the societal definitions of gender except partially through our current and contemporary notions of gender- which is the analysis of non-binary, cis, and trans identities. (I think this is not unlike the often criticized notion that extremely close and intimate interactions between two people of the same gender identity is often glossed over in history as being just really good, lifelong companions.)

I don’t understand how that is regressive or harmful. Who is it harming and how does this harm them?
Yes, very closely related. ZX is a specific set of tensors within this diagrammatic framework.

It’s hard to find global numbers by these categories, but I think world class universities should look at global numbers rather than usa only numbers... if they are going to look at demographics at all. if you look at global numbers, caltech demographics may be pretty close to being proportional representation.

Because Idris supports dependent types it is prettier both in the implementation and usage.

This got me interested. Care to elaborate?
I definitely see an advantage there. But I still tend to prefer non-IDE solutions for things like code formatting and linting, because it means you have the option to configure them once in the build settings and forget about it.

With IDE-based solutions, even if you can guarantee everyone is using the IDE (Which is already something I don't even want to guarantee. Friends don't make vim-loving friends use heavyweight IDEs. But I digress.), you still have to also remember to get everyone to set their IDE up properly, and verify that they did it. Otherwise you have a tendency for lint to collect unnoticed in the code for a while before it becomes obvious that someone missed a step in the onboarding checklist.
I guess Germany itself is kind of exceptional, given its past, but maybe I'm just moving the goalposts now, so let me try to substantiate.

I don't think positive discrimination laws in the US has as much to do with an embrace of Leftist ideology as it does with an attempt at attracting previously disenfranchised voters. I realise this seems very cynical, but my argument is that having a few policies that seem Leftist doesn't mean that the underlying ideology behind those policies is; correlation does not imply causation etc. So I'd argue those laws are reactionary, much in the same way they are in Germany and also in places like South Africa, to varying degrees of course. They're exactly the kind of toe-dipping you'd expect of parties who are more driven by quests for power than ideology. That's why, even with several Democratic presidents, for instance, the US still doesn't have proper vacation and parental leave: it's bad for business.

If I had to plot it, I'd say Germany's political landscape is also quite huddled up around the Center, but slightly Left (with more outliers than the US), where the US is huddled around the Center and slightly Right. This would explain why the Right in the US feels further Right than in Germany. These configurations are probably not even that strange for developed and developing Western nations, though most have more outlier parties than the US even if they're not generally in contention during elections.

I just feel that the binary-narrative - even though the spectrum is quite large and nuanced - is something that has spread from US political commentators to other nations and is watering down the discourse.

Funny you mention that. I'm currently in the process of creating a declarative language specifically for UI designers. The goal is to let them describe interfaces in a platform-agnostic pseudo-ish code, and it's all based on parametric constraints exactly as you described.
Not really, one of my previous employers I think they considered many times to have made a big mistake getting into German market, as we had to continuously remind them of German work laws.
This would really benefit from an impartial, empirical citation.

And definitely not "The Bell Curve".
By starting every request from a clean slate, you have much less mental overhead (did I accidentally reuse a variable from a previous request?) and it eliminates an entire class of programming bugs. It's the best thing about PHP, and despite this approach PHP still runs faster than many similar languages.
This sort of practice is not limited to just Instagram. Plenty of places that do soft deletes when they should be doing hard deletes. Data life-cycles are about the poorest understood subject in startup land. Ingestion is usually top notch, friction free and heavily automated. Deletion - assuming it even exists - is semi automatic or even manual, full of friction and usually incomplete or broken.

You see a similar pattern with respect to signups vs account cancellation.

The weird thing to me is that it is usually the marketing department and not the legal or the compliance department that has the upper hand in these data retention discussions. Fortunately thanks to the GDPR this is now changing and slowly companies are coming around on this.
thank you for giving visitors of your website the choice to completely avoid cookies - without any dark ux patterns involved!
Saying "Asians are more intelligent" is absolutely, objectively racist, and also incorrect. It's the same as saying "Blacks are dumber than other races," the fact that it's a "good thing" is irrelevant.

If you are precise, and nuanced, you can say something similar without being a racist shitbag about it. The following things are all true, and probably drove the GP to his statement:

* We're largely talking about Asian-Americans, not Asians.

* Most Asian-American families have a strong focus on academics and education, from a young age

* Most Asian-American families have the socio-economic status and familial support that allows them to focus on academics and education in the first place

* Because of the environmental and cultural aspects mentioned above, Asian-Americans, in aggregate, score disproportionately higher on standardized tests than other groups, in aggregate

Nothing racist about any of the points above but they could absolutely drive someone to say "Asians are smarter" if they're willing to ignore the nuance.
I personally found the main criticisms to be insightful reasons why Jira doesn't really add much value to a workflow, but most problems can be dealt with by taking those issues into account and continuing to use Jira. Then again, I'm not entirely convinced tools like Jira are ultimately much better than just managing with email and whiteboarding, which is probably why I feel so meh about it. Everything it does just feels unnecessary 99% of the time.
Then the concept of “legacy students” should be illegal.
I mostly agree with this, but.

Watching 100 hours of TV a year is probably not excessive. Watching 100 hours of TV a week would be unhealthy.
If there are people who lack self control such that playing games adversely affects their personal lives, then (without accusing the developer of malicious intent) something unhealthy has gone on.

I can't say I really agree with "x hours on entertainment like games is x hours wasted".

I think the comparison "it's more detrimental than illegal drugs" is thoughtless rhetoric. Maybe a better comparison could be 'empty calories'. -- I would agree I enjoyed playing Factorio more than I've enjoyed many other games, though.
Watching AntiElitz speedruns and going for No Spoon taught me how to sprint through the early game and get to bots and a large amount of production quickly.
The GDPR and its right to be forgotten agrees with you.

This is grounds for sending a strong message to Instagram for not doing what they are legally bound to doing.
