Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately the word "trigger" will not do -- that still describes an autonomic process that is starting and happening from the side of the seed. I was depicting a scene in which the ideal product is ripped outwards from the product development team, not one that happens from the inside, but one that happens from the outside. It is more of a vacuum-action that yanks or draws out the ideal product over time from the seed, it is not an action initiated by the seed, it is not an action that the seed controls, but one that is mainly controlled by the outer environs. I will have to take more care in explaining this in the future. It's closer to liquid being drawn up and out of a straw due to suction, rather than a fountain shooting water mechanistically out through a spout or opening. That is what I was trying to indicate by explaining that atmospheric discharge is largely dependent on surrounding forces, and not "internal" forces.

Discussion with Wael Elsahhar, Senior Leader of Product Management at Amazon
I just wanna say thank you to all people who behind the scenes keep evolving Ruby as a programming language!

I was at the edge of giving up on programming some long time ago and Ruby drove back a lot of my passion for creating things.

Ruby 3 is yet another great release (Ractor for parallelism for example). Can't wait to see what 3.1 will bring.
? Apple is not 'the CIA' for gosh sakes.

There's no reason for all of this.

It's perfectly reasonable for people to say 'I work on iOS' or I work on 'new hardware but I can't say much more than that', or 'I work in production for Apple TV'.

Most people at most companies are not allowed to talk about the details of what they do.

I haven't worked there, but isn't Apple famously siloed, even internally? My impression was that there were many areas that could not tell even other Apple employees what they were working on.
I don't doubt that you can do almost anything on Linux if you want, but "easier to get good results with" is a super important consideration that I feel my more dedicated Linux-using friends and acquaintances sometimes undervalue. They'd be horrified at the idea of paying for Rogue Amoeba's Loopback (let alone for a Mac to run it on, of course), but the flip side is that it's a lot easier to do pretty sophisticated audio routing with something like that.
Actually, Apple is siloed internally as well. I worked there for a little over three years and had friends there in other departments with whom we could mutually not share what we were working on. It both makes for a worse working culture and causes issues in practice as people relearn the same lessons and reinvent the same solutions in different areas.
They don't use realistic distributions (in spite the abstract says that). They assume uniform distributions in the interval [0, x] where x is somewhat like the current best guess.

It is well known that the product of variables with an uniform distribution has a result that has not an uniform distribution, but some distribution that has more values closer to 0. So there is no surprise that multiplying almost 10 variables with uniform distribution you get something that almost 0 almost all the time.

But it is not realistic to use an uniform distribution. All the variables depend on a lot a subparts, so a realistic distribution must be something that looks like a log normal distribution with a peak near the current best guess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

The author says that he sees no need to include types in the language. There have been efforts to create typed languages which run on the Erlang BEAM virtual machine. I would be interested to know more about why the author thought that types were not useful.
Getting into why some totalitarian measures might be reasonable:

I suspect more extreme up-front measures would actually stop the virus up-front. As a result, the other restrictions like masks wouldn’t be necessary for as long. So overall, one might say that the approach of nations like China, while more strict up front, had resulted in less overall restrictions in the long term, many fewer deaths, and even more economic activity. In the case of an out of control virus, people would be too scared to fly, for example, so economic activity would still be severely hindered. (Even with no restrictions at all.)

What are the alternatives for dealing with pandemics which have the possibility to entirely destroy human life and society? If nothing at all is done by governments, it becomes up to individual responsibility and the markets to control the situation. This only works if people are too scared to do anything or go anywhere, which means things would have to get really bad (read: a lot of death) before it would work.

What is the purpose of government if not to provide a safe and stable society to live in? We (unless you’re an anarchist) want laws and enforcement so that we can be free to live our lives without threat from others. You could even argue that infecting others when you knew you could avoid it is something we should restrict. In that way, wearing masks isn’t totalitarian, instead it’s a law which protects us from others.

parent reminds me of a quote from David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs"

"Real, productive workers are relentlessly squeezed and exploited. The remainder are divided between a terrorised stratum of the, universally reviled, unemployed and a larger stratum who are basically paid to do nothing, in positions designed to make them identify with the perspectives and sensibilities of the ruling class (managers, administrators, etc.)—and particularly its financial avatars—but, at the same time, foster a simmering resentment against anyone whose work has clear and undeniable social value."

You're right, of course. I think what happened here is that I jumped the gun on what I perceived your argument to be; that you were expressing something like the sentiment that Robinhood has to maximize customer outcomes on trades; that, for instance, if it has a dial that can go 80/20 -> 20/80 broker/customer on rebates, it actually is required to turn that dial to 0/100 if possible.

Jeremy Howard's "I Like Notebooks" JupyterCon 2020 Talk

Howard makes the case for why even "real" programmers should give notebook environments a chance. In addition to supporting literate programming ("code as literature") and exploratory programming ("code as scientific notebook") in a live coding environment, Howard explains how notebooks can improve documentation, learning and sharing, testing, and deployment. And add-ins and tools, like Howard's own nbdev, can help address what's missing in Jupyter Notebook. As an example, Howard notes how fastdoc even enabled him to write and publish "Deep Learning for Coders with Fastai and PyTorch: AI Applications Without a PhD using Jupyter Notebooks." Excellent, inspiring talk!

Monocultures reinforce bad habits. I have friends at a wide variety of tech companies - Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tableau, AirBnB, and more. All of us know, in broad terms, what the others do. We don't discuss trade secrets or specific unannounced projects, but we're able to talk about things like "X works on Storage Spaces for Windows, Y works on WebXR, Z works on security, etc."

We're also all able to talk freely about what aspects of our jobs and employers we like and don't like. This is valuable information - for instance, I've heard enough first person anecdotes from various teams to know that I'm not interested in working for Amazon unless all other avenues to pay my mortgage have failed.

The Apple experience sounds like my interview with the NSA years ago. All of my attempts to ask any questions were met with a "no comment" for the most part. Very frustrating experience. I walked away with not much more idea of what a job there would be like than you could get from reading Wikipedia.

On the nulls bit, in a context where nil is a legitimate value, my team's policy is to use the ampersand operator. To be honest this is preferable because it clutters up code the least.

Repair mechanisms cost energy even when they're not being used. Immortality requires much better repair mechanisms, that makes the owner less competitive. Thus the immortal loses the evolutionary race against the mortal.

In practice immortality in a complex organism requires many steps, those will never be done because they up the energy budget and put the creature at a disadvantage.

The fact that it's an evolutionary disadvantage not to be replaced with superior offspring is irrelevant, that implies intent which evolution does not have.

In 2008, I ran across DHH in an Apple store in Chicago, and got to thank him in person for Rails. Similar story for Matz and Ruby in 2013. My current work is mostly Java, which is tolerable since Java 7/8, but I always enjoy revisiting Ruby and Rails when I get the opportunity. Great to see this continued progress and investment in the language.

What part of the pandemic response do you think will be difficult for government to give up? Certainly the large measures (lockdowns) will be lifted once we are vaccinated. Is this more of a general fear, or do you have something relevant to the current situation?

> we'd be taking samples and warning other countries

After the first US covid case was detected in Washington state on Jan 20th, the Seattle Flu Study scientists wanted to use their existing flu swabs samples to test if coronavirus was already spreading in the wild in Seattle (it was). But state and federal government did not allow them to. Finally on Feb 25th, they started testing their samples without permission, and found community spread.

There are other interpretations of this story, but any sensation-seeking newspaper would surely run this story as the government attempting to cover up that the virus is already spreading.

> To repurpose the tests for monitoring the coronavirus, they would need the support of state and federal officials. But nearly everywhere Dr. Chu turned, officials repeatedly rejected the idea, interviews and emails show, even as weeks crawled by and outbreaks emerged in countries outside of China

Why small objects are such a big deal
I've been exploring the LoRa space (and more generally the 900MHz unlicensed ISM band in North America) for a couple years now.

I think there's a really interesting direction here for switching away from corporate internet. I don't see any reason why we can't build an ad-hoc, citizen operated telecommunications infrastructure in the form of cheap mesh networks and distributed storage.

I would love to see a local-first/backbone-last paradigm for internet usage. Screw all this walled garden app and corporate media pipeline. I just want to socialize and meet new people in the digital realm.

Having said that, I've been working on a hardware project I've been calling Walkie Texties. Basically a prototype of what a geolocal-first non-internet network might look like, sitting on top of 915MHz using LoRa.

I'm still learning hardware stuff and circuitpython has been a real godsend. Got a couple of these bad boys and plan to attach a LoRa capable Feather to the back.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/4818

This is basically a ready-made geolocal-first chatroom platform. A Walkie Textie, you might say.

The range of LoRa is 1-2 miles in dense city and _over 200 miles_ line of sight with a pretty minimal antenna.

That's pretty cool...

I’ve been in the industry for over 15 years, currently work at a F500. Every job I’ve ever gotten has been through blindly applying, including this one. I have no network to speak of - my colleagues who have seen my technical work number less than 15. Most of those are in the military.

I have been quite successful despite this lack of permanent connection. I literally can’t think of anyone I could contact who would give me a leg up for a job.
> There is very little leverage the rest of us have to stop them.

That is not true. China main product is physical goods. If the western world would stop consuming irrelevant physical goods (like cocktail umbrellas) and limit itself to essential (and food and western media) then China would be gravely impacted. To be fair, the whole world economy would be impacted, not only china.

But the western world only pays lip service to the "Never again" mantra and will do nothing that affects its standard of living, camps or no camps.
>> I never quite understood why the typical tech company product organization is so obsessed with finding the perfect graphic designer, instead of the perfect engineer.

For what it's worth, a personal anecdote - I didn't work with UX people or product managers until after I spent ~12 or so years as a developer/development manager.

My first impression of UX and PdMs was "wait, that's a job? This is stuff I expect my engineers to do. I wouldn't let my engineers get away without understanding the business or not obsess about the user experience."

Ironically I am now a product manager and what I have learned is that the answer is very simple: "perfect engineers (using your definition) are FUCKING RARE." In a startup you probably can structure your org around a handful of them, but by the time you're say Google-size (and way smaller than that) if your demands for a dev is "must be great at UX/business too" you just won't hire that many people, so you allow yourself to scale by breaking out the roles instead.

I miss the days of doing it all and try to get into it as much as I can, but I can't recommend that as a company strategy.
