This is super unpopular, but I think young marriages actually give women more autonomy.

When you’re 18, marry a 30 year old guy — then take 6 years for undergrad, have three kids along the way, and let him pay for it. Then do graduate school while they grow up.

You’ll get out of school, debt free at 30, and already have three kids at school age — ready to be bussed off while you tackle that career. You won’t have to take a career break for children, because they’ll be in school when you start.
the pedantry around design and testing in CPAN is where i learned how to be a serious software engineer. perl was special in that it bridged the divide between software engineering and system administration. it was software engineering with the pedantic nature of high strung sysadmins who insisted the garden was in perfect shape at all times.

Here here. Loved XP, still try to let it influence what I advocate for at my place of employ. XP leans heavy on discipline. It succeeds well when there's an environment of trust towards the team, and the team values discipline as a way of working better together.
DBs used to be master/slave. Should we keep that naming so as not to participate in a slippery slope?

It’s a fine line between a slippery slope and progress.

I remember in the 80s and 90s when older generations would complain that they couldn’t gay bash anymore. They thought it was a slippery slope that if they were forced to respect homosexuals, they’d be forced to respect other types of behavior they deemed immoral. Turns out it was just progress.

Recently, I noticed that I would refer to adult females as “girls” and adult males as “men”. I want to be careful with that in the future and try to change because I’ve been called out a few times and I can see how it’s disrespectful. And I don’t want to be those adults from the 80s I saw so resistant to change.

I guess I try to view it as each year brings new ways of communicating and interacting. It’s OK that I wrote master/slave years ago and it’s OK that I’d never allow that in my code base now.

We’re all trying to be better and that means change.

I’m glad folks are sounding the alarm because we don’t want to be complacent, but not every new social norm is suppressive either.
You can leave Twitter and social media alone, but that's no guarantee that Twitter and social media will leave you alone. That's why I think it's so important for everyone who can speak out against this to do so before it metastasizes to the point where you can't say anything anymore.
Maybe it is a full time job. And maybe this is where the atomic family unit breaks apart. Maybe we need communal child rearing efforts.

With supervised learning data set size.. ? Uhh
The way tracking used to work is:

1. UserA visits foo.com which embeds a script from evil.com. When the script is requested, evil.com sees there's no tracking cookie for this user yet, so it drops one.

2. When evil.com was loaded, the Referer header showed the request was coming from foo.com. EvilCo adds an entry that UserA visited foo.com.

3. UserA now visits bar.com which also embeds a script from evil.com. Now, the tracking cookie from Step 1 already exists, so it's sent with the request to load the script from evil.com.

4. evil.com looks at the Cookie and Referer header, and adds an entry that UserA has visited bar.com.

---

Now, what Firefox and Safari have done, is they've made it impossible for ANY third party to access their cookies while a user is visiting a different site.

I completely understand that evil.com is promoting itself to first-party by routing under evil.foo.com and evil.bar.com, and that allows it to set and receive cookies on those hosts, but that alone isn't enough to break out of the new browser protections.

In this new world, evil.foo.com and evil.bar.com are still third party to each other, and so there's no way to sync identifiers between them, even though they're both operated by evil.com.

To sync identities across evil.foo.com and evil.bar.com, EvilCo is forced to do some kind of browser fingerprinting, or to rely on the operators of foo.com and bar.com to manually share additional data about the user.

Source - I've tried it! Run two separate domains and see if you can get the same unique identifier in cookies on both domains. The only workarounds are OAuth2 and the Storage Access API - both of which require explicit user permission.
What drives me crazy about the "master" vs "main" branch name is that before this started the branch name "master" was in my mind a completely un-racist definition. Now the debate has changed my the link in my mind to the point where I feel like a branch name has racist history and I feel dirty typing it.
He's treating it as "ha ha only serious": http://catb.org/jargon/html/H/ha-ha-only-serious.html .

Haven't read it myself but he sounds right. Jokes like that aren't funny if they don't have a lot of truth in them.
Agreed, this is something that is incredibly obvious when there's no money involved. It's naive, wasteful in a sense (your time could theoretically be used for other things), but that's the open source that everyone respects/admires.

Every once in a while I go back and think of the origins of the F/OSS movement -- the idea is insane on it's face. Labor to make software, then give it away, and license it in a way that anyone who uses it is also forced to give it away? Who would fund/contribute to such a thing? How insane I think that concept is assurance that I consider myself a capitalist on the economic policy spectrum.
The claim that I think is "extraordinary" is that a focus on specifically income is found in "every culture on the planet."

Is this really true of the Sentinelese, an indigenous culture in the Indian ocean? Maybe if we define "income" in some funny way. There's a long history of "big man" cultures in anthropology, wherein authority and persuasion are more important that direct "income."

But, then, "income" is so tied to the modern capitalist framework that it's hard to even talk about this sort of thing, which is really my main point.
Joining a group that's willing to scream "oppression!" at every convenient target is also living a life of pain. At least if you're sincere, they can only cancel you once.

Judging from how many apparently-jokey parts where I was in a position to judge their accuracy were entirely accurate, I'm inclined to believe he's rarely joking in the book. What he writes may be funny, even intentionally so, but I think only a very little of it, if any, is misleading or substantially exaggerated.

It depends on what you were doing previously.

And it also depends on how you implement it - doing it well relies on buy-in from anyone touching the dev team in any way.

So, yes it can offer benefits, for some companies, if done well.

Just renaming managers into product owners and renaming hour long meetings where you explain yourself to the manager "stand-up" is not going to get you anywhere. Doing it right involves significant change to process with no-one trying to circumvent it.
>History is written by the victors in all cases.

A big counter-example is Sima Qian, who was given the choice of being executed or castrated by the Han Emperor. Because he made a promise to his father to write a history of China, he chose castration, and is now considered the father of Chinese history.

Jeep has a RHD Wrangler for 2021 and I’m not certain if they ever paused making them.
In The Netherlands this seems to be true. However, as a programmer you can work from home in many cases, especially now. So suppose that a junior psychiatrist makes 5000 EUR gross in NL [1] and a junior developer 2600 EUR gross [2].

A few things though:

1. A psychiatrist has to commute 1 to 2 hours per day. So that salary is not for 8 hours per day, but 9 hours at minimum. Adjusting their salary to an 8 hour basis, it needs to be multiplied by 8/9 or higher like 8/10.

2. The psychiatrist has to be on location. The cost associated with that is hard to quantify, but it is there. For example, I always sleep during the afternoon for 20 minutes, a psychiatrist can't do that. Also, I can take a break whenever I want, a psychiatrist can be on call for 24 hours straight in severe cases. Let's suppose this gives a cost of 1/16 as a multiplier (half an hour of extra work per day).

So the minimum overhead a psychiatrist has is 16/19, their salary is then 4200 EUR. This can be amazing or not so much, considering your own personal preference. My personal multiplier is 0.8 on top of all of this, so for me a 5000 EUR salary is worth 3360 EUR if it's working as a psychiatrist.

As a developer I experience something different, which is:

1. I do not have to commute, I can if I want to, but don't have to.

2. I do not have to be on location, nor do I have a strict schedule for going client after client. I can take random breaks during the day if it helps me be more productive.

So a developer's salary for 2600 EUR is much more like an actual 2600 EUR in that sense. Moreover, my personal multiplier for being a developer is a 1. There are some things I dislike and some things I absolutely love about being a dev (e.g. being a true netizen in the sense that you can randomly act with APIs if you want to).

To conclude: the absolute values are far apart, but the relative values might not. It differs on a person by person basis, and I haven't discussed the whole picture of course (e.g. needing to stay sharp as a dev, I don't know how that works for psychiatrists).

> Is this a crime in itself? Do we really need to cancel academics over rejecting something because they find it logically or practically wrong?

The problem isn't "these academics aren't being canceled for their ideas"; nowhere did GP say such a thing. The problem is "these academics, and people animated by the ideas they expound, have gotten power and are using it to implement their ideas, which is eroding fundamental principles of liberalism (like tolerance of dissent) and this seems really terrible".

>...I'm saying it's happening.

Hopefully someday, but it's not happening yet. Those big battery farms installed by Tesla (et al) are used primarily for grid stabilization. Most current grid storage is pumped hydro and that has limited potential to expand. Like I said, it is possible there will be some major advances in grid storage that will allow us to stop using natural gas to cover for the intermittent nature of wind and solar. In that case - great! But... what if that doesn't pan out? The dangers we are facing in the coming decades are immense. Texas has shown us what happens with even a small disruption of energy. If it came down to a situation where you were forced to choose, would you prefer the world to suffer through catastrophic climate change rather than use nuclear power?

Then according to your logic that means energy is practically unlimited.

Why am I still paying for energy if it's unlimited?

Because energy is still limited.

The energy radiated by the Sahara is not "available" therefore not part of what I meant when I said "available energy on earth."

I will second retros. I have seen team cohesion go up and down based on the quality of the retros. It is really hard to do a good retro, and ideally no one from management should be present for at least half of it. Making a space where people feel comfortable airing grievances and feel supported can really smooth out a lot of friction. Bonus points when common pain points are made known so tooling and process can be identified to make everyone’s job easier too.
“Being intolerant of intolerance” is one of those funny social paradoxes we grapple with somewhere around sixth grade. And yet we need to. No way I just tolerate your 6th grade BS directed towards me, for example.

Actually formulating and calibrating the behaviors and responses that allow a suitably tolerant society (and tolerant of what exactly) is intriguing and seemingly worthy. Getting people to agree to taboos is one part of the negotiation. There’s a fairly well-reasoned article out there on how the less-tolerant and highly motivated end up steering society. The motivation and vigor of the intolerance matters a lot.

Sure, SIKE is not so much bigger than existing approaches, but it is much slower than they are.

Some of the other choices aren't so much slower but are far bigger, for example McEliece systems.

There's lots of opportunities to make different trade-offs - at least if all of them survive a bit more scrutiny by smart motivated opponents - but they're all generally worse than what we have now - except that they resist Shor's algorithm.

Interesting. I knew some countries in Europe had joint filing. I was unaware that the US did.

Does anyone know what the requirements are for the non-working individual to be considered for joint filing?

We were humans before this Internet-thing came to us. And it must adapt to our human ways of life. I'm now even more tempted to likening of the invention of Internet to when man discovered fire.

Anyway, back to the topic... Why are you assuming the user is not intelligent/capable of making an informed choice ? Most people by now (we are talking about Internet users after all here) already know the implications of these ads towards their privacy. Yet 9/10 times they will choose convenience over it.

You are also assuming that time spent on YouTube is eating on time they would (rather??) spend on their families. What if the user watches Youtube at night when the family is asleep?

On to advertising. Some ads are indeed useful, despite of their tracking-based nature. Some are informational. Some are non-intrusive at all. I can't tell you how many times I've taken up a promo (on products I already use) because of a simple ad.

Putting all ads on the same bandwagon hurts the players who just care about serving marketing info and nothing more.

Foregoing ad-funded products or even ads themselves is not a binary decision. We need to get away from this mentality.
Of course not. But it’s good for the manager industry. Slow the gears down enough and create more and more overhead.
Is very careful initial launch for such product weird? I don't think so.
I would prefer to identify as male. I don't want to be trans, I don't want to be cis. I just want to be a male, and _ANYONE_ who wants to join me is welcome.
You miss the point. The point is the US in a way is worse than a totalitarian regime like China: in a totalitarian regime it is the government the pushes censorship and hatred in the disguise of morality. In the US it is the elites and ordinary people who do that voluntarily for the so-called narratives. The US is building its own highway to tyranny.
Had severe brain fog for a few years. Blood thinners gave me my mind back.
The seroprevelance data claimed that ~10-20% of the population was already infected, back in March of 2020.

Given that effectively nobody was dying from COVID prior to March, and the three giant waves of exponential growth that followed, I have severe doubts about the accuracy of these tests. I have a feeling that if those same tests were ran back in 2018, they would have said the same thing.

I’m not sure what your point is, but Apple released a summary of the situation, and my interpretation has been shown as totally correct.
Scrum is systematized bureaucracy to justify existence of management and their high salaries.

Some parts of agile definitely are reasonable, such as quick iterations, seeking feedback early (similar to fail-fast). Continuous integration is also small step evolution process.

In general, software development is as flexible as prose (or poetry) writing, so it should be organised accordingly.

In painting and sculpture one could add a lot of small changes, but usually nothing big, because oil (or watercolor) are form layers, so layers bellow cannot be changed easily.

Software is exactly the same. It must be organised as set of lawyers with stable interference, and changing them is not easy or cheap task.

In summary, all the principles from art and engineering are applicable to software, given that the media is the most flexible, so changes are way cheaper than in any other engineering discipline. Discipline is all you need.

Not a rocket science.

Yep, but none of that means this particular issue was poor UX. Maybe if this particular issue was a very common problem then I would see things differently, but this story also comes from a person who failed to review billing statements from AWS or their bank account transactions for most of a year.
