What makes Joel Spolsky so certain? And what makes you so certain he's right? It's all just personal opinions.
My experience is that in open space where everybody are following basic noise hygiene rules, most of the sounds you got are keyboard and mouse clicks and sometimes mouse wheel crackle. Setting and enforcement of said rules are in mutual company's and employees interest.
Not that simple. Higher speeds mean commutes over longer distance are feasible.

People simply move further out for cheaper bigger houses and drive further.
Last time I checked it was either Harvard or Yale that admitted about 30% of legacy students but only single digit percentages for regular people — so to some extent you are right.
As the article explains, the new thing is that on the 2020 form everyone needs to answer that question:

"The crypto question first appeared on the 2019 tax form, but on a part of the return that not all filers had to answer. Now it’s moving to the 1040’s most prominent spot, just below the taxpayer’s name and address."
"In a 9-0 decision, SCOTUS has struck down as unconstitutional the law giving Senate Judiciary power over hiring clerks."

More seriously, I'm not convinced moving this to a Senate subcommittee would lend any more legitimacy to the system. As evidence I present what Senate Republicans did to stonewall Obama appointees at the end of his last term so that McConnell et all could push through dozens of 30 year old reactionary freaks to lifetime appointments.
In the US, I think this comes down to the developer.

When a developer creates a neighborhood, they usually give it a name. And that name usually sticks.

Likewise, when a developer creates a larger building, they might give it a name. And that name will probably stick for as long as that original owner continues to own it.

But there is also a major branding exercise here — look at the names of sporting arenas. It’s “Dodger Stadium” until Oracle decides to pay enough money to change the branding, and then it’s “Larry’s Private Blue Field Oracle Stadium That Is Occasionally Used By The Dodgers” or whatever the hell they decide to use. And that sticks until the term is up and someone else pays the license fee to change the name again.
Php is dying? Didnt know.
There can't be a recommended daily dose for everyone, every body is different. I quote:

"... in a correct analysis of the data used by the Institute of Medicine, it was found that 8895 IU/d was needed for 97.5% of individuals to achieve values ≥50 nmol/L."

That just means there are some people who need a very high dose. For comparison, 4000IU/d gets me well over 50nmol/L, this is also the "generally considered safe" upper limit. There was a case reported on HN where 5000IU/daily caused issues with calcium levels. You gotta get your bloodwork done.

My first question would be: Why are things ultimately failing in QA? What infrastructure, knowlegde or interactions are missing to permanently reassure the team if the current state of their work will pass QA?
Whatever product your team makes, it should not have relevant defects that only show up in QA.

Agile development is just a tool, not a magic incantation. For Scrum: Committing to a Sprint backlog makes no sense when the product still fails after the Sprint is finished. There should be no after . Done must be done - if it’s not you’re not doing it right. If possible I’d completely focus on fixing this point first.

(Background: Agile development, then coach since 10++ years. Now have a small startup building some niche BI software. (Interestingly coaching other people for money does not mean you’ll be doing it right yourself.))
True but not really relevant to IRS income tax enforcement.
One of the main differences is that Picat allows both deterministic functions (like in functional languages) and non-deterministic predicates (like in logic languages), which often simplifies code and makes for more efficient execution (although functions are translated into predicates).

In my opinion, Picat's biggest attraction is its facilities for constraint solving and optimization, which are in some respects state of the art.
The anti nuke greens in the mid 20th are as much to blame, industry and electricity make up the other 2/3 after all.
It's actually interesting how we didn't go there for the web, although it is likely that we will in the next decade or so.

By the time Tim built his toy hypermedia system ("the World Wide Web"), DNS had a sensible mechanism which could have been used to deploy it cleanly. But that wasn't done. So, first HTTP means "just look up the A record for the name and connect on TCP port 80" and then HTTPS meant "look up the A record, connect TCP 443". Today you also need to check AAAA (for IPv6) and you need to use ALPN to say what kind of HTTPS you speak, but otherwise things remain much the same.

However we have a pile of things we want to do in the near future that don't fit this model very well. HTTP/3 support (ie HTTP over QUIC) would ideally be discovered as early as possible for best performance, and Encrypted Client Hello (technology to a void revealing the names of sites you're visiting to an eavesdropper) really wants to fetch from DNS quite a lot of information too.

So there will likely be a new DNS record for basically "I want to connect over HTTPS to this DNS name" the same way the MX record means "I want to send email to this DNS name".

Ordinarily this would be a huge deployment nightmare, because we know crap DNS implementations can't do new DNS features. The specification for DNS is clear that if somebody asks "What's the WONKABAR for some.name you control?" and you've got no idea what a WONKABAR is you say there isn't one. But lots of bad software has been written that will break out, and either crash, silently drop the question or reply by reporting that there was a server error, none of which is correct.

However, fortunately the DNS privacy protocols give us a chance to reset expectations. Comcast's deal to get their DoH servers used in Chrome (for Comcast customers obviously) requires that they implement DNS properly, not half-arse it. So that's millions of customers brought on board by contractual obligation just for one example.
Is that good? Doesn’t that breed resentment? “Oh, since there is a remote person in the meeting we all have to deal with poor audio, lag, and no eye-contact?”

I should say I was remote for 5 years and the meetings where everyone was remote were much longer, extra overhead, slower responses, and less engagement. They were bad. I’d rather be not an equal participant in a good meeting than fully equal in a bad meeting.
> Which by the way might a perfect way of punishing dicks - nothing like pain and public humiliation to cure inflated egos.

That's a sub-human system of torture and brutality that you're cheering for, which would be rife with false accusations and witch-hunting style assaults by the mob as large groups of people would increasingly lust to harm outcasts and persecute smaller collections of minorities.

Are we burning people with inflated egos today? Stonings? Pulling finger nails out? That person over there, they've got an inflated ego, I saw them taking a selfie on Tuesday!

It would be the perfect way to run a stalinist gulag perhaps.
That is for undergrad, and it's worth noting that the average test scores of an admitted legacy student > the average score for all admitted students.

It can be incredibly difficult to get that traction - I know Patrick Grey of Risky Business has mentioned in passing that he's occasionally helped local-to-him small businesses who have been locked out of their Instagram accounts, because it's basically impossible to get assistance except through well-connected folks.
The difference is that this is a documented GitHub policy [0]. I’ve done the same for a handle that didn’t have any activity in its entire history. AFAIK neither Instagram nor Twitter have similar policies (though I somewhat wish they did).

More vit D from more sun could be a side effect of better health. Sort of like if you found that using TikTok a lot was strongly correlated to very low covid-19 mortality; it would just be a marker for youth. This study makes it look much more likely that it's an actual effective intervention.

If you're interested in other continental European detective novels I recommend Georges Simonen's Maigret, Friedrich Dürrenmatt's Bärlach, Maurice Leblanc's Lupin and Marcel Allain's Fantômas novels. All of them set in the 19th to 20th century continental Europe.

If you have additional recommendations for famous northwestern continental mystery novelists from the last two centuries I'd love to hear (especially interested in German, Dutch, Belgian, and Luxembourgish authors).

Novels from Nordic and British Isles authors have been easier for this American to discover.
This misses the point of the post, it isn't about presentation but what research was actually done. If the story had presented either of those as a summary of the study, it would have been wrong as the study did not interrogate whether either of those were correct. The study saw a relation, it did not discern how that relation was constructed or if clinical intervention along those lines would be useful.
I think you may be underestimating the impact.

Without the aquifer you cannot sustain the current crop yield, livestock headcount, many jobs would be impacted, and cost of living will rise. These phenomenons can have a cascading impact on other sectors of the economy... not only in the states sitting on top of the aquifer, but the entire country.

Perhaps it will not be a literal desert, but it will be a desert for the purposes of agriculture.
Warning this is in 2008 context:

Types are cool but when I worked on eclipse apis (plugins) god forbid they were utterly useless. Design matter, having 32 intermediate classes to do just anything, 12 of which are totally unrelated and suddenly types don't help you much.

Also it was full of Option types disguised as potentially empty arrays.

I guess today things are better.
I write C# code on a medium-large solution (ASP.net, 60 or so projects, ~1M LOC) and to be honest I don't know why everyone thinks that VS2019 is so great.

VS2019 frequently freezes for multiple seconds. When project files change (e.g. because you check out a different branch) VS often fails to load the modified projects and I need to restart the IDE.

Then there's the fact that the refactoring tools in VS2019, despite improving significantly since older versions, are still way behind ReSharper or IntelliJ.

I also generally dislike the UI I'm VS2019. The Git integration works, but it's cumbersome to use. You can't easily have multiple run configurations. The error/warning list pops up seemingly at random.

I use Rider now. It's not perfect, but I am just much more productive in that environment.
In the US, annual physical is what insurance typically covers for "free" but you may visit more frequently for follow-ups about something in particular (in which case you have co-pays). Which seems reasonable in general. Same thing with eye exams.
Absolutely nobody is holding Zuckerberg accountable for anything he says in an article like this, so it's effectively meaningless, but we can still analyze it a little for fun.

Note that he does not call for any regulations that would actually be new to Facebook. He only gives examples of things that Facebook already does, such as releasing transparency reports and adhering to GDPR. So I would read this article as "Facebook does not need to change in any way, but everyone else should be like us".

Does Facebook back up any of this article with actions? Do they support politicians who would enact these policies, or do they evenly support all points of view so they have influence with everyone? Does Zuckerberg hold private dinners with privacy advocates and supportive politicians to discuss policy and strategy? Is Facebook a prominent sponsor of any organizations that are working to make these ideas reality?

In KVM, yes, not in Windows. I've never had good luck with Hyper-V's dynamic memory management, unless the OS was already completely installed (Windows' installer would fail unless I dedicated the RAM. I remember it working better with Linux unless you needed to PXE boot).
There’s a continuum for sure. Type systems have their own kind of cognitive load, because you have to learn them, how to model your invariants in them, how to understand error messages, avoid common pitfalls, etc. Type systems are usually quite “general” and abstract, and that always comes with cognitive load. Quite often reading the code of a parametrically-polymorphic Python function is way easier than understanding the generalized polymorphism constructs of an advanced static type system.

There are times when the cognitive load of a particular static type system is less than that of a dynamic one, for certain classes of programs and audiences, and times when it’s not. This is fine and we should encourage development of both kinds of type systems and a shared understanding of how to pick the right ones for the job (which is a discussion nearly always missing in these debates).

The problem is it can be so hard to prove misdeeds on the part of the rich. Most of the stuff the average Joe does causes reports from the other side of the deal, the IRS simply needs to match them up. Easy peasy, I get a notice from the IRS that I didn't report $1234 because I slipped up and typed $1233.

Look at the various reported tax games with Donald Trump, though--many involve situations where the other side of the transaction is cooperating. If both sides are dirty the IRSs job becomes much harder. Also, the more complex financial transactions can't be distilled down to standardized reporting so well, it's much harder to match both sides.

C is not legacy.

The same code from 20 or 30 years ago compiles today with little or no modifications

Try to run a servlet from 1998 or a struts web app from 2001 with a recent JVM

And yet you still find them in a lot of places, that you don't see, because you don't work with them, but that probably manage some of the transactions you make

They are legacy because they are being maintained for clientst hat have been using them for at least 2 decades and are virtually untouchable, but are still being updated, slowly, to keep them running

I'm not insisting, it's what it is.

VB is not legacy, VB is dead

No large company ever relied on VB to keep going

COBOL is still being developed, because it's still used

To the point that COBOL can interface to Java or C# because companies prefer to update thei COBOL programs to call outside than rewrite them

The final approved ISO (of Object oriented COBOL) standard was approved and published in late 2002.
One of nice options in recent versions of OpenSSH is the "expiry-time" key option you can put in authorized_keys. There are also other options handy to restrict the usage of the key, for example you can limit the key to be used only as a jump host. One can combine them so the users on the jump host will not be able to execute any command and even not able to edit authorizd_keys file and remove the "expiry-time" option.
Respect?

A basic perception of goodwill and competence?

The Supreme Court has a very narrow mission statement, and it generally executes on it well.

Congresspeople sabre rattle on TV, submit symbolic legislation with poison pills and take turns abstaining on legislation they don't want passed but their constituents do, and hide whatever they want to pass in unrelated legislation (budgets, usually). They eagerly devolve every responsibility they can to the executive branch, and seem incapable of voting against their own or the intelligence community's interests.

The only principled one seem to be single-issue legislators who couldn't tell the ass-end of a horse from its head if it was unrelated to their obsession.

During depositions they spend more time chasing soundbites and executing partisan jabs than trying to extract any information in the public interest.

Many of them seem to care more about the rest of the country than they ever could about their district or their states.

Kipling's If:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
>I feel like if leaving a one-star review of Google Maps can put you in jail in Thailand, it is highly irresponsible and unethical of Google to allow leaving reviews in Thailand.

What? No. You can defame yourself in literally any public media forum where what you say could affect the other party. That means literally any public website with a comment feature. Singling out just google maps with a solution like that makes no sense.

Google has no ethical requirement to cotton wool people from being a dick and trying to negatively impact a business's revenue.

“ In the ancient mythologies you will not find the idea of a physical universe continuing, in its independent vastness, after the annihilation of humans. “

If humans are the observers that collapse the wave function, then it’s possible nothing exists after humans are gone ;)
I'm guessing you skim read most of the replies after the OP? The OP did touch upon it when describing their own architecture (albeit he wasn't actually suggesting that should be how everyone operates) but everything after that has been more narrowly focused. This particular branch of the discussion was specifically discussing log access:

> > ship log events out of the box and into something searchable, indexable, and can derive metrics

> That's just a way to spend a ton of money. There's really not a reason to ship or index logs...
>The TI-89 is a later and much more refined design.

I've got both ti89 and hp50g. I seldom use the latter anymore.

TI-89 is slick, fast, responsive, a pleasure to use, something to study for its great UX.

HP50g is sluggish and a chore to use. It doesn't deserve the reputation.

This is particularly sad as the hp50g uses a relatively fast ARM cpu, whereas the ti-89 uses a plain 68000.
JavaScript and TypeScript are great because you can compare them directly and they are essentially the same language, one with types.

And as someone who has written JS for over a decade, TS is hands down better, it’s not been close how much nicer it is to work in the latter. The bigger the project is the more it helps.
Some serious diseases (this was true with the Pandemic of 1918) cause their worst effects, including death, through overreactions of the immune system. Evolution is clever but it's not perfect and regulating biological systems is difficult - even for nature.

We are a long way away from that. People are living their lives as if it's only theirs that matter - while still having kids. The cognitive dissonance is quite impressive.

I'd welcome the establishment of an annihilation watch that monitored the world for extinction level dangers. They could then rate, classify them and have governments take action.
I think you make a good point about justices existing along a spectrum of adherence to methodologies, but I think some judges and justices also choose to avoid the main issue when the 'heuristics' are at odds with their principles. The most obvious example of a serial-parrier is the current chief.
