My 50K car sometimes decides while driving down the freeway that it is in fact on the street next to the freeway, and should be going 25mph. Maybe we should wait a little bit on trying to use bleeding edge technology to force cars to drive a certain way.
a) How can there be a "DevOps responsibility rather than your application developers"? Isn't the whole idea of the word "DevOps" to eliminate such distinctions?

b) In my experience, the application developer is held responsible for the application's behavior in production. In the luckiest .01% of scenarios, there might be an infrastructure engineer with appropriate permissions and free time trolling the Slack support channel at the moment you report the issue. Otherwise 99.99% of the time infrastructure will not acknowledge of investigate anything complicated or subtle with just one service owner complaining. The infrastructure group, organizationally, is graded on shipping new platform features and on coarse KPIs for the performance of the platform as a whole; nobody is getting paid to investigate the weird bugs of some application team somewhere.
I was thinking the same thing, and was praying I wouldn’t see Perl on that list. It happens to be my favorite language, probably because it’s the first one I used professionally. I don’t feel like it’s a dead language but it probably could be considered dying, especially with the recent surge in popularity of Python. I think one of the things that made Perl fall in popularity was its half-baked approach to OOP in an era where everyone was doing it, not to mention the copious syntactical sugar that made it possible to write the ugliest code you’d ever seen (there even used to be obfuscated code contests).

I wonder to what extent this creates a feedback loop that isn't fully acknowledged/understood.

As long as the prediction is only one element of decision and not the decision itself, it can probably be useful for judges. If it becomes "the algorithm says", then the feedback loop could have unpredictable consequences.

By nature of a world with finite resources, I also wonder whether the 2.7 million USD could have made a better impact on likelihood to show up if they had been used to put in place or extend existing support structures for the majority of the crimes those courts see. It's still worth it to research how technology can help of course, but it's also hard to put in any kind of comparative study when only doing one thing at a time.
That's your mouse button, not a keyboard key. Although modifier keys occasionally are used, what's important here is the state of those keys (ctrl for copy, shift/alt or whatever for shortcut); nothing happens when you release them.
> The existence of the war crime allegations isn't being removed.

Oh, but it is. The direct witnesses' accounts are minimized and ridiculed for lack of evidence, then the witnesses stop talking about it (normal ones; the crazy ones keep ranting about it forever) and the matter is totally gone within a generation. A historian might dig it up a few decades later to make a career and by that time it's too old to be relevant.

Consider these major events before they were part of accepted reality: NSA spying, coronavirus, the Holocaust, Uighur ethnic cleansing, Tuskegee syphilis experiments, etc.
It's not a question of demonstration but of definition. I've only ever people define fields as requiring two distinct elements 0 and 1. However, every field is also a ring and there can be, up to isomorphism, only a single ring with one element, because you don't really get any choice as to how you define the operations. That's called the trivial ring or zero ring and it basically satisfies all of the axioms for a field too, except for not having two distinct elements. So if it were possible for a field with a single element to exist, it would have to be this one.

It is my understanding that some mathematicians are looking into some objects that are kind of "like" a field with one element, but not in the sense of classical algebra, see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_with_one_element

However, I haven't really looked into that.
Not all bugs are sufficiently cheaply reproducible outside the environment in which they are observed. It seems silly to tie your hands behind your back when you could just inspect what the computer is doing and then fix it.

I red this years ago and for the past 5 or 6 years haven't use any kind of soap or shampoo except for my hands.

I shower every day (sometimes multiple times a day if it is hot) but I only use clean water and fresh towel to scrub oils from skin and hair.

Once body adjusts it is possible to go longer time without shower with no problems. I did couple experiments but in the end I just like to feel fresh before bedtime so I stopped.

I can say it takes time for body to adjust oil production but now my hair is healthier than ever and I generally feel better.

RISC-V is designed to the momentarily fashionable idea that status flags are a big hurdle in optimizing instruction sequencing.

Modern cores rename status flags along with all the other registers, making them cheap. The tortuous workarounds in RISC-V are worse than useless -- they are a tax on all users, but particularly on resource-constrained users who don't get instruction reordering anyway.

In the future we will sneer at RISC-V's lack of implicit zero and overflow checks the way we sneer at SPARC's delay slots today.

"Depleted" in this case would just mean mined, transported, and made into something. It doesn't seem farfetched to imagine that, say, an electronics factory would be reduced to an easily accessible deposit of copper or gold in a few million years.

There are many structural problems in healthcare and just like we did with Spotify, you need to go, piece by piece and create something that actually is a win-win for all stakeholders.

Ah, Spotify, famously a win-win for all its stakeholders, including the musicians who can no longer make a living by recording music.
True... Assuming that any individual has an equally likely chance of getting fossilized. It also brings up the idea of whether or not we would know if some fossilized specimen or footprint belonged to an animal or a civilized individual.
Yes?

I doubt there is any conventional metric for "standard of living" (which basically means per capita wealth/income) where the UK would be higher than the US, at almost any point on the income scale (even adjusted for the imputed value of the more extensive public health system in the UK).

That doesn't mean the UK is "worse" than the US, or that it has a lower quality of life, just that it has (and has had) a lower standard of living for decades. Few countries car match the standard of living of the US.

I've been in some form of programming for 30 years. I know myself well enough to know I couldn't sell water in the Sahara desert. I just don't have it.

I can recognize good sales people, though. They are much less "true/false" in thinking than a good programmer. I didn't realize it for quite a while, but it's a symbiotic relationship-- programmers need sales, sales need programmers.

Good luck.

In a city of 8 million people, it is not likely that $2.7 million would substantially shift underlying social issues to reduce crime or failure to appear for court dates.

In the example case given, prosecutors appeared to have no evidence whatsoever that the defendant would skip court; the defense presented the algorithm and explained why he likely got the score he did.

I imagine judges may come to heavily weigh the score, but cannot imagine any would ever give such an algorithm a blank check to decide for them.

Facebook creates these features and refuses to own their consequences. They gave everyone a megaphone and a private tv channel. Now they want to run away from owning responsibility for the content which they use to bring the users who will see the ads which line their pockets. Unacceptable.

Maybe it’s time to cancel features if you don’t want to dedicate some portion of your many billions of profits to solve the problems which said features create for society.

Oh and to everyone who will say it’s hard, maybe you can’t solve these problems then you shouldn’t be rolling out a feature. It’s just that simple.
Afaik easter eggs got banned because MS wanted to gain certification for government/military use, and in order to get that, all functions/features must be documented and previously specified..

Users guffaw at this point. They do not understand why your stuff is so complicated and broken. They think you suck at your job. Both you in the collective sense (you engineers) and you in the personal sense. They start plotting ways to stop using your stuff because you are so frustrating to deal with.

> They also have orders of magnitude less inputs they are expected to operate on, which makes it easier to exhaustively test their function.

I think you still do not understand my point. Users fundamentally do not care about it. Everything, to them, is a problem of your creation and they'd quite rightly regard your long-winded explanations with complete skepticism. To you it always feels likes it's someone else's fault, but to users it sounds like complete BS. No matter how right you are about it being someone else's fault. Someone else's fault is the very definition of a lame excuse from their perspective. They are still getting nowhere and you are even more useless to them because you still can't fix anything and just confuse them and waste their time.

It's a very user-hostile attitude and makes for terrible customer relations. That attitude is also counter productive and helps no one. No wonder people hate tech.

Git works well for large distributed teams. Very little software is developed like that. Most software is made by small teams. For small teams, git's model adds extra overhead. Small teams can be more productive with a simpler source repository.

Release processes benefit from incremental commit numbers. They are easy to reason about in release planning. They are useful for gating features. Example: Wait until api server deploys commit number N or higher before enabling app feature A. They provide an easy way to track the age of binaries running in production. Example: We can turn down API B once every deployed production binary is built from commit number N or newer, since that is when we deleted the API B client library.

Merging and rebasing is easier to understand with incremental commit numbers.

Git has no support for code reviews. For example, it provides no functions for distributing versions of uncommitted changesets, distributing comments on uncommitted changesets, or linking comments to particular versions of changesets. These are core parts of the software development process. Code review comments are crucial context for future readers to understand the code. They belong in the repository with the code.

Git's "stash" function is full of footguns and is therefore mostly unusable.

Git's nomenclature is inexact. A git "commit" is actually a set of changes to files. It would be better called a "change set", "change list", or even "diff".

Git's documentation needs work. It needs to explain common use cases. It needs to warn of more pitfalls. It needs more common use case examples. For example, https://git-scm.com/docs/git-revert has no example of specifying a particular commit or a set of commits. Another example, https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash is missing a link to the article https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Stashing-and-Cleani... and that article needs a big fat warning about the biggest footgun: using 'stash' and then 'reset' and accidentally erasing untracked files that you thought were stashed.

Git sees every source file as plain text, ignoring structure. For example, reformatting destroys blame info. Changeset metadata includes lines added/deleted/modified but treats whitespace changes the same as changes to comments, data, and logic.

Git provides no access control functions. Users must rely on third-party tools. Users need to apply ACLs to source, code reviews, and test output. This is complicated to set up with third-party tools.

I use git and I look forward to switching to a better tool in the future. Maybe Pijul will be it?

PDF files embed the vectors outlines for the letters used in the text and it's trivial to extract those into a font file. However, as the mathematical representation of the typeface is under copyright, this conversion does not make it free because the vector curves remain the same. The process would also likely lose the fine tuning of a professional typeface like the kerning, so it would not be desirable anyways.
I meant to say this much earlier, but this is the best place to leave his comment.

It comes down to tolerancing and doing the right amount of anything to get a goal and not much more. And even then, sometimes a 10% effort job is good enough. Systems should be efficient and degrade gracefully. Doing a shitty job is part of that resilience.

It seems to me that boosting accuracy is the only fair thing to do.

What was actually being compared in putting the models together was projection of accuracy, which as an estimate should not be confused with actual results... as the article eventually got around to pointing out.

When weighing guesswork against fairness, I agree with the decision to favor fairness, especially considering that the decision to grant bail has nothing whatsoever to do with a person's actual guilt or innocence- they have been charged, but not yet tried.

Ok, I'll summarize myself once more and then stop trying: Swift is not perfect, but it's way better than Java. Some generally useful features are missing that were identified early but were put on the backseat for now because other things took priority, but they might be finally be coming now. SwiftUI is wrong because it is trying to use language features that don't exist, ones you think are "obvious" to include but I say are not necessarily "better".

The reason I suspect trolling is that you have repeatedly taken my comments out of context, glommed them with other things that are not related, and then responded to that strawman, plus created what I can only refer to as "bait" because I have to waste my time responding to them when I could be having a much more productive conversation. So tell me, would you rather talk about how Swift's type system is the same as Java, how the compiler is designed by incompetent fools who rush out releases, and how any language that doesn't include the three features you brought up is automatically stupid, or maybe we can discuss this more productively from the viewpoint of "why didn't Swift include these things I like?" or "was SwiftUI poorly designed if it is trying to create new parts of the language out of thin air to support itself?" or "has Swift prioritized the wrong set of features?"

Shifting from engineering to sales requires a shift in mindset, from scarcity to abundance. Engineering = scarcity: time-bounded sprints, finite teams, large backlogs of features and tickets, strict prioritization. Sales requires you to think in terms of abundance. There are always more leads, more channels, more tactics.

Also, it's debatable whether being talkative helps sales. Listening is far more critical.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here; pulchritude twice as rare as disharmonious, which is relatively rare. It’s an order of magnitude rarer than effervescent, as an example, which is a word I would consider uncommon but in most people’s vocabularies. And given how much more common pulchritude is - surely physical beauty is one of the most common subjects in any language - while disharmony and effervescence are more complex and rarer in practice, I think it speaks to how little the word is used. Its synonym, beauty, is used 2000x as often.
