The difference is, with a decent voting system, it only takes 51% of the population to decide government policy, but with corporations, even 1% of the population can keep harmful corporations from bankruptcy.

Even ignoring the problem of those 1% potentially being the richest 1%, there is the issue that harmful businesses often have lower costs than ethical businesses, and some consumers are too price-sensitive (or don't have time to become informed about every corporation's business practices) to vote "correctly" with their purchasing power.

The media news is not primarily intended to inform, it's primarily intended to make money, albeit through publishing stories that are 'new'.
Why? If you're backend, show that things are working in the backend, not much different than frontend work. Or show your design work. Or video editing progress, or anything. If there is _no_ progress but in your head, at least what you can do is write it down. Then you end up with a document. Demo your document.

And yeah, if it's missing the overall goal, then it's clear halfway through that we're missing the goal, so you can correct earlier.
It's a good thing Apple is dogfooding. This means that a lot of issues and corner cases will be ironed out. On iOS.

However, looking at the abysmal quality of apps they have been releasing on MacOS in the past few years, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Your grandparents talked about "the core technology" and talked about peers. If you're talking about bitcoin in the extended sense that you do, there would be no reason to use these words.

It is commonly known that exchanges have to implement KYC/AML and so on, so the question isn't very interesting if we are talking about whether the government has some influence on a web-wallet like Coinbase.
It’s solely the media’s framing if the claim is that the US as a whole is degenerating, which was his claim. I never made any claim as to the nuanced state of the US, so you’re responding to a claim I never made which is a strawman.

No-one is saying they are not good, but I've read the top-level comment as implying they are better than software engineering, and after reading responses in the thread I'm not convinced that this is the case.
Focus on no-code, low-code approaches and tools to building a product to validate a problem and your solution to it.

For example, use a “no code” approach first and simply use tools to design or build a simple Product, from concept to creation. Use cloud services like Invision to create a prototype, website builders/template to validate need/interest in an idea. These are all things that anyone can pick up reasonably well without coding.

Essentially, what I’m saying is focus on non-technical skills related to ideation, proof of concept, product validation, etc.
Haha, I have seen it three times but the opening of the black box is so slow I have always clicked something by then.
It's likely that Facebook was defrauded here, or that an employee of Facebook breached his employment contract. In either case Facebook would have standing to go after the fraudster/employee, but the account "owner" might not.
The downside of the mixed approach is, as an earlier commenter said, that you can end up with an "us vs them" mentality, where the people who see each other every day and get to have small-talk and get to know each other grow closer and then the people who work from home are somewhat on the periphery.

I've seen this before, I've been working remotely for a lot of the last 7 years and there's a distinct difference in social dynamics. Even if the people in the office need to use Slack or whatever for communicating, they have their in jokes that they sprinkle in and you can feel a bit alienated or ostracised if you're in a minority of work-from-home employees.

Equally, if some people are not able to work from home, that can build resentment or envy.

So the company culture can be affected by different amounts of in-office vs home-office, every company will have their own sweet spot, but I agree with you, there is no simple one size fits all solution.

Can someone explain to me why I would need a library to draw bounding boxes with a label? I don't understand why this is a hard problem that warrants a library. There isn't even any 'fiddly math' in there.

I seriously don't get it. Have we become so incapable that we can't draw rectangles and labels anymore by our self?

Shoving residential units into downmarket commercial office space sure sounds like a zoning issue to me.

The article even states that this issue isn’t issue outside of England, as local control in Wales and Scotland (ie zoning among other things) prevents obviously stupid things like this from happening.
No, they are not needed anywhere. Anything you can write, you can write in an untyped language.

That's a pretty strict definition of "need", though. There are many situations where types can help, even if they aren't absolutely needed.

In our community (garhwalis), we are taught to cook from a very young age informally. Identifying spices, combinations, tempering, different ways of cooking, different curry preparations and how to optimize/ prepare with different ingredients is a common theme of growing up. To be honest I am quite glad it is still being taught and probably I will pass it on to my kids as well. Absolutely indispensable and important.
And tests have less value, or at least are more difficult to write, when you're not sure if an outlier is valuable information or junk to be discarded.
With Google spending hundreds of thousands on each engineer, is that really the place to pinch pennies?
If you're solo or intending to stay small, I'd strongly recommend just using a PaaS that works at a higher level of abstraction than AWS. Heroku is still around, will give you sane defaults without really knowing much about the devops world at all, and will scale well enough that you'll almost certainly have a much bigger team prior to needing to move to something more complex.
Advantages of Swift and SwiftUI? Nevermind, I'll try to answer both:

For Swift it's a modern language that doesn't need to have backward compatibility with C that Objective-C had. It has a very expressive syntax and uses modern idioms you see in JS, Kotlin, Rust, Scala, C#, etc. It has a modern type system with type inference, string templating, Option type, tuples and simpler closures. It's pretty nice actually.

SwiftUI is just a way of writing UIs using Swift and a reactive paradigm. It looks and feels like React but instead of the embedded HTML of React it only uses plain Swift. The previous recommended method used XML (in XIB files) and needed special tooling (Interface Builder), which was nice but not perfect. Also doing git merges in the XML files are much harder.
Comparing within the EU is fairly OK.

Testing a hypothesis like the above could be easier if you remember that the US can be divided up like the EU too - that way you have fairly geographically sparse but hopefully methodologically similarly recorded data.
> That's a political statement, not a law of nature.

That's the way it works in our system, which finds wages through supply and demand, which is a law of nature. You may nitpick and find a couple of salaries or other types of income that are not priced in this way, but it is generally true for the average person.

Whether that system is the best system is indeed a political question, but that's besides the point.

> Moving the mean of a distribution to "less than 20% higher" than the median is huge!

Perhaps, but it's nowhere near the 100% change that the article promises.
I have the same problem. It's just people mistyping addresses. When I chase it down, it always turns out that they're looking for "${firstname}.${initial}.${lastname}" or they left off some number. Gmail doesn't allow people to register accounts that would collide with someone else modulo dots.

My solution: create a filter that matches "to:${firstname}.${lastname}@gmail.com" and archives those emails in a separate folder.
> The burden of proof runs the other way. It’s mundane and uncontroversial to state that open plan offices fail to save money.

What? That seems to be the opposite of what most folks would reasonably intuit.

More space per worker means more offices means higher cost. I'm surprised to see someone suggest they somehow you could use twice as much space for the same cost.
> Typically I’m as productive or more productive than my peers.

This seems like a case of assuming the conclusion, tho. Whether a text editor-based workflow is as productive as an IDE-based workflow when avoiding feature that advantage the IDE doesn’t impact on whether the IDE-favoring features are valuable enough to adopt and assume everyone has access to.

> public square in front of city hall is patrolled by police

Yeah, I wrote this in a comment a couple days ago: "public spaces are treated like private spaces by local governments: "we don't want problems in our land" is the default attitude". Improving public spaces means solving these kinds of problems. Streets are not accessible to social interaction. As Ivan Illich wrote: "police protection [is mistaken] for safety, military poise for national security [...]". So yes, everything is a private space, very disappointingly. Then we complain about kids getting addicted to videogames. What else did we leave to them? If we take away public spaces and try to structure all their time with extracurricular activities and whatever. Parks are nice to walk through, but rarely stay and do something. You usually want a roof, power sockets and light, somewhere decent to sit, etc. But we are sadly more into hostile architecture [0].

About reimagined libraries... the combination of bookshelves, the layout of the corridors and the silence really create a mystical space, something quite unique. Like the architecture of some cathedrals. I'm very in favor of unique spaces, and we shouldn't understimate silence either. Libraries can easily inspire us and give us this feeling that there are so many unexplored paths that we can explore... it's a whole adventure, if you are into that kind of adventures. But there are a million other options to create new unique spaces and adventures, I don't think we need to reimagine libraries to monopolize all those possibilities. Books, corridors and silence seem just fine to me for libraries. We can put computers and internet access somewhere else. That's why I think it's interesting to just focus on public spaces. People is very different and they will enjoy very different spaces. For example, a library for kids could be completely different to a library for adults.

I don't understand how you square your first paragraph with the content of that study. They aren't better based on skill within the category of cases, they're better on the cases that they have a direct social connection to. I mean even the abstract contradicts your first paragraph in plain language.
And then the next extension of cooking and meal planning is knowing about good nutrition. An hour or two learning about things like protein, carbohydrates, fats, fibre, salt, vitamins and minerals, and calories can make a huge difference to how nutritious and well-balanced your meals are forever.

The question of dose is a big one, but I personally don't go over 1500 IU of supplements a day (try the 1000 IU gummies IMO). I also only take it from November to February. The recommended daily dose is way less, and you can easily sit down and pop 20,000 IU of the stuff. Be careful! It is technically a hormone.
I see this argument a lot from folks who never worked in the frontend. Having worked in both it's much clearer there are always ways you can demo changes in a backend. You can show new docs made available or before/after performance numbers of simply just describe what would now be possible for clients.

No matter what you work on there _has_ to be a way to show the impact you had unless you had no impact.
No thanks, I'd rather the plain words of a governing document be interpreted more like a living organism that evolves with the times. That way I can get exactly what I want right now without having to convince anyone else beyond 5 old people to vote for it.

It looks like in London, the sun doesn't go above 50deg except between late April and late Aug, and on the solstice it's only above 50deg between 10:30 and 15:30. Which means for the most part, it that condition only occurs while people are inside the office, and only for half of the year.

Two cents:

My bg: Grown engineering teams from 1 person to 20-25 strong and have done this 3 times at various early stage startups. So you know can judge whether this might apply or not.

Depends on people: Are they task oriented / goal oriented ? You can detect based on how they talk about previous projects. Do they say they did x, y, z or do they talk about the big picture of the problem being solved, why they chose what they chose, its features/lack of features etc.

1. Task oriented folks want detailed action items and they don't mind you being super specific. With these folks, have a detailed plan of what to implement, how to implement, break it down into day by day plan. Try to be aggressive w.r.t goals (don't do this, if they are already demotivated), goals that are slightly harder to reach. But ensure that even if they are 60% is done, you will get a workable soln. Ensure that each days tasks are done and checked off and you can track daily progress. Catch up for detailed meetings every 3-4 days. This would be rescheduling of tasks, addition/removal of specific tasks that are no longer valid/requires to be done, re-prioritization/reorganization of tasks etc.

2. Goal oriented folks would want you to give them the vision and overall direction. But watch out for digression that lead to long discussions during such meetings. Tell them what you want to build and why you want to build that, how will the user use it. Then they will figure it out and you can have review meetings. They would not like to you put detailed line by line plans. Ensure you have high alignment during stand-up. Have check ins every 2-3 days to ensure that they are not going in completely wrong directions and you couldn't catch it due to brevity of scrum. But these are usually shorter meetings.
Yeah, I was surprised by the OP’s assertion that energy prices never go negative. I think spot prices have been negative in eg Texas on windy (and maybe also sunny) days.
That would be a closed source stack and device dependent solution. You could also use QR codes to trigger URI access which in turn ran arbitrary code on arbitrary devices. That would be an open source stack and device agnostic solution.

Line engineers totally need to read body language. Presenting a paper or design? You need to read when your audience is drifting. Discussing a contentious code review? Body language can tell you loads about how much they are committed to their approach. Mentoring other engineers? Running an ops review? Asking for approval for something?

There's a million scenarios where understanding body language makes you a more successful line engineer.
I went through an intermediate phase: Typing is good for complex projects, but not simple ones. I've found even that isn't true: In simple programs, typing pays for itself when the compiler, IDE etc catches mistakes I've made.

Maybe I just make lots of mistakes. Maybe people who prefer dynamic typing are more careful/better programmers than I. Personally, I screw things up so often, it's always easier to use typing!

As a user and fan of fish, I hesitate to recommend it to people because support and availability for fish is just not where other POSIX shells are. It's gotten better with time, but VSCode extensions still don't setup conda properly in my fish shell.

I still find myself frequently dropping into bash everywhere, but I really want fish to succeed. It's a huge breath of fresh air coming from POSIX shell syntax, and I've really enjoyed automating busy work with fish. I really ought to submit PRs when I have the chance.
This is interesting. Thanks.
Build their confidence. Review at the end of every deployment what went wrong and what they have to change to make things work next time. Review also what they did well, so they build confidence.

Make them feel like each failure is an opportunity to learn that they need to put to good use for the next deployment.

#1 is technically right and how the story is usually presented.

It's actually textualism not originalism. Originalism considers the original lawmakers' intent whereas textualism only considers the current meaning of the words of the statute and ignores intent.

In other words, originalism considers unintended consequences to be outside the scope of the law, whereas textualism considers them to be within scope.
Basecamp’s Pow project comes to mind.

It enables zero config local development configuration, whereby at the time it would make your locally running dev server available on .dev

So instead of having to spin up a local server and then visiting say 127.0.0.1:3000,

I could instead just visit myappname.dev and it would show me what would previously show on localhost or it would spin up a server first for that app then show it to me.

They switched to .test in response to google’s change.

My concern is that if you randomize uniformly based on geography or event, you'll get a very uneven distribution of place types.

E.g. if you go to a random public place, you are very likely to go to a uninteresting bar or restaurant or shop and very unlikely to find yourself in a very unique place.

And I'm not sure how you could automatically randomize in a a way that doesn't have this issue.
You are correct that you do not need this library to draw bounding boxes with a label. You can use OpenCV or Pillow to draw it.

However, positioning the label to be exactly above the bounding box can be a little finicky. This just takes care of the math that you'd have to do to place it right above the box. I agree that I am not doing something revolutionary with the math here, but these functions are something that I've had to use over and over again and thought it would be nice to package the whole thing. This library abstracts everything behind two main functions.

There are also a few different visualizations that you can use.
