At what age are you a junior developer and at what age are you a junior psychiatrist in NL? A bachelor's developer could be as young as 21 I guess, but at least for most jobs in medicine you can't work independently until much later. Maybe it's different for psychiatry?
I strongly agree with this. Personally, I am a Swedish father who works in a typically stressful industry (game development) and I've been able to take a good amount of time off to care for both of my children.

In Sweden doing so is quite normal and an employer is not allowed to object in any way, as long as you give a few months' notice.

For each of my children my wife and I took two months together at birth, then she stayed at home for another ten months while I worked. After that I spent six months on parental leave while she went back to work.

This means our children have each had a year and a half of at least one of us being home with them before they started at daycare. It's been a magical time and I feel blessed to have had that opportunity. Months where every day was built entirely around just playing and learning together.

Of course, you might note that my wife was home for about twice as long as I was. This was definitely a financial decision and shows there's still plenty of room for improvement.
Whatever way eBay's PR/Marketing team may spin it, they are a business and want to protect their bottom line. I don't agree with the depictions in these books, and I think it was the right choice to stop publishing them (also to protect the publisher's bottom line), but also I don't agree with scrubbing existing copies from existence. But eBay is a business and has a right to deny whatever they want on their platform. That's capitalism, baby!
Computers are not the internet: you can have a lot of fun with computers and also programming them without the internet. Probably not if you need to make money from it, but as a hobby it is very much possible. There are a lot of environments that have docs included (game dev mostly, like pico8 etc), but languages like C, Go, lisp you can program on a deserted island far away from comm networks if you need to because they are small enough and have enough that can be carried with you. People had a lot of fun with computers before the internet. But yes going outside is a good plan anyway.

Amazon have been doing this for a couple of years now. They removed all of Greg Johnson's books for example. VISA and Mastercard have also blacklisted him meaning he can't use any payment processor to sell his books on his counter currents website. He can only accept money orders or cheques. There is nothing illegal in his books.
It was a joke.

It's so weird for me to see people complaining about hypersensitivity get so up in arms about a pun.

I just find it so hilariously hypocritical for the crowds that constantly complain about the over-policing of speech to find a light-hearted pun to be so dastardly offensive.

To each their own I guess, but a simple pun doesn't feel like the biggest threat we face...

The estate requested that sales be ceased, in addition to their decision to stop publishing.

This was likely coordinated with requests to Amazon and other sellers/resellers to pull the books from their shelves/catalogs.

Having Amazon independently decide to stop selling a book is one thing, but it is not this - this the author's estate requesting that sales be stopped.
Maybe Pete Buttigieg can look into it.

I'd not heard that "mentally ill" crossed into that territory. What term do they say should be used instead? I'm guessing "neurodiverse."

I believe you'd still be able to file jointly if you're on a working visa and your spouse is not working, even if they don't reside in the US. The only caveat is that their worldwide income would be subject to US taxation if they have income from abroad.

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/family/claiming-a-non-c...

"In general, resident aliens are taxed just like U.S. citizens. You would list a resident-alien spouse on your return and provide his or her Social Security number (SSN). If your spouse is not eligible for a Social Security number, he or she will need to apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from the IRS.

If your spouse is a nonresident alien, you can treat your spouse as a resident alien for tax purposes. If you choose this option, you can file a joint tax return with your spouse and have an increased standard deduction. You increase your standard deduction, but all your spouse's worldwide income will be taxed by the United States."

Before you judge it, I implore you to ask whether your organization is actually doing Agile/Scrum correctly. I doubt most orgs are and I suspect most negative opinions come from doing it incorrectly/ineffectively. I think the core principles of agile are well-intended. It's the desired state we want to achieve. However, most of us are still trying to reconcile with our current state.

There are many pitfalls. For example, giving product owner and even manager roles to the lead engineer or architect, daily standups devolving into telling people what ticket number they have in progress as opposed to blockers they are seeing or actually working on, product owners not showing up to backlog grooming sessions leaving engineering to make their own priorities, product managers being the engineering manager and leading retrospectives making everyone biased to say what went well but not things to improve on, agile release trains having teams that don't really interact with each other leaving engineering teams tuned out during system level PI planning and demos. The list goes on.

The current state of an org implementing agile/scrum can easily lead to what David Graeber calls Bull*hit jobs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kikzjTfos0s. The onus is on the organization's leaders to take everyone to the desired state. However, all too often the actual leaders of an organization are the engineers themselves and would much rather get work done than to micromanage.
History refers to what actually happened, victors might write history books, but at least in modern era everyone can write their own version and have it out there. The point is I think Americans have little to no World History knowledge because education has been steadily deteriorating and seems to now be culminating in what we can observe as an attack on STEM. Not knowing World History has led to this, but now let's see what happens when Math undergoes a similar change of focus.
> codepath used in the wild: preapproval for a large file upload

There is no current browser, or client that by default will send an Expect: 100-Continue.

cURL removed it because it was too often broken. See https://curl.se/mail/lib-2017-07/0013.html

As of right now, while server authors will continue to need to support it, it is unlikely that it is a well tested code path, and it will likely break in weird ways even trying to use it.

So pre-approval for a large file upload is not even valid anymore.
But why is education different from all the other welfare goods that the state provides?
Sorry - should have put a /s - that was meant to be a joke.
> A large number of people die every year.

This keeps beeing peddled by the pro-nuclear fraction, but you are comparing apples and oranges: the "large number of people die" is based on "if you burn coal without any filters, in particular if you do it in a little hut in a third world country with no proper chimney, it's really really bad for your health".

Nuclear power plants require modern technology for high safety standards. Coal power plants on anything than a very basic technology level all have filters that scrub the sulphur etc. Outside of third world countries, nobody dies from coal. It's not even a health problem.

The problem with coal and other fossil fuels is that they use up limited resources, and they put back the CO2 into the atmosphere that has been extracted by plans over millions of years, causing global warming.

The problem with nuclear is that when it goes boom (and it has done so about once every 20 years since we have nuclear), it leaves a large area inhabitable for a long time. Which is a big problem in a densely populated country like mine. Also, at least in my country, even though we are using nuclear for about 60 years now, nobody has figured out a safe way to store the nuclear waste - it just gets moved around from one failed attempt to the next.

The "lots of people die from coal" vs. "nobody dies from nuclear" story (which are both distortions, conveniently in different directions to match the ideology of those bringing it up) is a red herring.

I'm happy to hear that you found the first paper interesting!

While I agree that it is unlikely C and Python programmers will take up categorical abstractions any time soon, there is some interest from the JavaScript world. As an example of how this manifests this is a concurrency library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/fluture) and parser combinator library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/parsimmon) that are explicitly using built functors, applicatives and monads as programmatic abstractions. I don't think that this is going to be the mainstream of JavaScript in the near future, but it does suggest that some folks in the JavaScript world think that categorical abstractions are relevant to their practical work.

I also think it is the case that it is a bit strong to claim that Haskell was designed as a programming language for categorical abstractions because none of the ones that I mentioned were included in the initial design of the language. The Haskell 1.0 report[0] was published in 1990 and while it had typeclasses[1], the Functor and Monad typeclasses weren't added until the introduction of monadic IO for Haskell 1.3 in 1996[0]. Moggi's first paper on monads for computation[2] was in 1988, but to my knowledge no one involved in Haskell was introduced to it until several years later[4]. While applicative functors are in the middle of the popular hierarchy, they were the most recently introduced to functional programming. It took until 2008 for them to be explicitly identified as an interesting abstraction in "Applicative programming with effects"[3]. Making a language where programs compose nicely was an explicit design goal, so I don't think that it is a surprise that that's where category theory first landed as an explicit tool for programming abstractions. The categorical abstractions replaced non-categorical abstractions because they did a better job of solving the real problems that the people programming in these languages had, so I think it is a meaningful application of category theory to computing even if it hasn't happened yet in the mainstream of computer programming.

I agree with your assessment of HoTT as well. I'm not currently working on HoTT or on the use of homotopy and (co)homology as programming abstractions, so if they make some contributions to that on the way to their actual goals, I will be super happy.

I do like the standup if it really is “stand up” (so short that it’s not worth sitting down).

What I’ve seen work best is just a quick “hey this is what I’m doing today/this week, will depend on yyy” so that anyone who depends on what you’re doing (or not doing) knows; alternatively, “wait, you’re depending on my project yyy?”, no discussion except, “hey, let’s talk directly after this”.

Not for any manager’s benefit, just for each others’. Like a code review there should be no judgement. If anybody wants discussion do it elsewhere so everybody else can get on with things.

Ebay banning these items is a good thing. Removing them from the biggest second-hand markets in the world devalues them as collectables. Ebay has removed other collectable items in the past, like slave tags and aunt jemima bottles.

>No civilization has fallen because they depleted the available energy.

What available energy means is energy "available" for extraction. Not total energy that exists in the earth.

>Some have failed because their use of energy outpaced their ability to extract available energy.

This is just word play. You know what I mean. But we can still play the game if you want.

Basically if the civilization can't extract energy then the energy isn't "available." That's what the word available means.

> The entire planet could run for 100 years on just the toxic waste from a single US nuclear plant.

Uh no. If we replaced all current world power with copies nuclear plants running in the US we'd be out of nuclear resources in a year.

With breeder reactors and ocean water we have about 60,000 years available. A far cry from "millions of years"

If nuclear power becomes this common and available in our lifetimes then yes energy can be in a practical sense unlimited and negligible foot note in the economic equation.

However this power is not yet "available" (keyword) so until then energy is a huge part of the economic equation.

>We are not really energy constrained and simply using the available energy more efficiently can leave all parties better off on all but maybe billion year timelines.

You're talking about potential and things that are currently unavailable. I'm talking about history, the status quo and "available energy."

So we're not at odds here, just talking about different things.

I have found agile rituals like standups, retros, iteration planning meetings etc helpful because it gives multiple forums especially for junior developers to participate. These help break down information asymmetries that can creep up.

However, it is essential to keep in mind why these things are done and not just cargo cult them.

I have felt Scrum is cargo cult agile which helps non technical managers retain power post "agile transformation" in the form of "scrum master". Just that title changes the power balance in meetings and kills the spirit of what they are meant for.

One side is producing research papers and other sources. You are saying you have a PhD in this area so trust you.

I do not know you, I do not know if the PhD in question actually qualifies you to speak on the subject, and I do not know if it did that you would actually be fully up to date on the subject. I do not necessarily want to dismiss this out of hand as an appeal to authority, but as a layperson, you do not making a convincing argument when it boils down to "Listen to me, I have a PhD, trust me over these other people who have PhDs who are also publishing peer reviewed papers that disagree with me."

Do you think they spent months deciding whether the works were racist?

Or, is it possible there's an interpretation of the sentence (and a perfectly reasonable one) where they spent months deciding whether they should stop publishing a publication that they had decided was racist?

The decision matrix might have been more complicated than: "does the work contain racist content".
