A lot of it is based on the environment and investment that the existing homeowners have built in the previous decades.

They invested in not only the specific home they bought, but also the neighborhood. They continued investing ever since living there. If they wanted a more dense environment, they would have invested in that sort of location. It costs significantly more to build and maintain less dense-pack areas, from building costs, maintenance costs, to property taxes, and nevermind the emotional investment.

Forced rezoning is to simply declare that:
"Nope, you and your neighbors have made the biggest investment in your life in creating and maintaining your home and local environment, but we want it. You won't even compensate you by buying you out with eminent domain, we're just going to destroy everything you've built and the value of your largest asset by cutting down the trees, paving the grass, and putting up block buildings for all the people that want to live there, destroying the peace and quiet you've paid exorbatant costs and taxes to build and maintain and nevermind the habitat destruction for all the plants & animals either."

It does not work for semi-rural suburbs with 2+ acre zoning, and it doesn't work for quaint San Francisco neighborhoods. I could make more of an argument for the city, since cities are already close to sanitized for wildlife. And, having stopped, for now, a farcical proposal for a high-density building literally in my backyard that would have destroyed a certified endangered species habitat, I can certainly say that it is at best an ignorant prescription.

How is it fair to say that some people built X, we want X, since we can't have it, we'll just take it and destroy it?

More to your point, I can tell you that it is nothing do do with "greedy property owners".

It has to do with having INVESTED in a place and its environmaent, for a specific set of reasons, and having already bought, paid for, and borne the taxes and costs of maintaining that environment, and wanting to preserve that which they have paid for.

If they were actually greedy, they would immediately change the zoning laws to allow all that, as they would EACH make a lot more money from their property, and pay less in taxes. They do NOT make those zoning law changes because they agree that each of them will NOT profit from converting to duplexes/triplexes, etc.

You have it backwards.
You do realize what you're proposing happened and happens extensively?
It's also because other languages have better designed strings. D, go, rust, etc. have pointers too but their string handling is based on slices and arrays, which are approximately 10,000 times less footgunny.

The biggest problem with Scrum/Agile is that it is easy to do wrong, but hard to do right. Then again, every team that I've seen doing Agile wrong does any other system wrong too, it's just pointing to systemic problems that no amount of management techniques can paper over.
Steady states are the exception in nature, not the rule.

It's quite normal to have a population that increases exponentially, hits resource limits, and then decreases rapidly. (This was like literally 1/3 of my calculus class - it's a pretty classic example for coupled partial differential equations.) Eventually the population declines enough that the resource limits no longer apply, and people start having babies again. Population isn't a monolithic concept: there will always be some women who have children regardless of their incentives.

I'll just be happy if we can get there without war, famine, pestilence, and death, which are the normal results when a society hits resource limits.

>I think the brutal/ultra-competitive work culture is uniquely American

American work culture is only moderately competitive. Many Asian work cultures are much more competitive than the US, where women taking a break to have children will basically end their career (and indeed this is how many women plan their careers), and paternity leave greater than 2-3 days have only started to show up in the past few years. Most of the drive towards more parent-friendly policies actually come from the government, as they try to stem the tide of low birthrates emptying out the countryside.
Too many people consider their house a store of value, a significant portion of their retirement assets, and/or a speculative asset that can be cash out refinanced.

Outdated? These cartoons were drawn in the 1930's and 40's... 90+ years ago. They were not outdated at the time.

Regardless if we find some of these drawings racist by today's standards - they are historical and should be preserved as such.

Yes.

If the network is more heavily used, it will require more capacity where it connects to other parts of the network or other networks. More ports and more wires means more failures of ports and wires and more diagnosis of ports and wires and more replacement of ports and wires.

Or, if capacity is not increased to meet demand, you need more people at the callcenter to ignore customer complaints.
Yes, and everyone who wishes to empower women to be able to choose the life they want for themselves should encourage understanding of the tradeoffs. There are too many sources of lies and distractions that would have us all believe that we have nothing to consider, and all the time in the world. This is, of course, nonsense.

That's a great question. I hear too often that our values (and, more disturbingly, our principles!) are differentiators -- but they honestly shouldn't be: I would encourage any company (but especially startups) to be very frank about their values. Of course, this requires those values to be a fair representation of the organization (namely, describing values that are actually held, not virtues aspired to), and then further requires ongoing and honest conversations about reflecting those values in daily life -- but these are solvable problems.

To answer your question: I don't have a long list, though companies like Stripe certainly come to mind. I'm sure there are others out there. Perhaps others can point to companies that are models in this regard?

They did use the Halle Berry neuron as one of their examples so although I haven’t checked I think it’s a safe bet that they referenced that work.
"Modern rockets originated in 1926 when Goddard attached a supersonic (de Laval) nozzle to a high pressure combustion chamber"

So, rockets have had almost a century of development too. You could even stretch that and claim more like 6-700 years, as the Chinese had "one of the world's earliest multistage rockets and ballistic cruise missiles" around the 14th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huolongchushui

Which accusation are you referring to?
Exactly. It's not agile until the process is one of the knobs you're willing to adjust. "Let us be agile according to this rigorously defined, unchangeable process" is self-contradictory.
thats probably because pointers are considered "hard" , too hard to exist in other languages. It's interesting that in the 80s, the standard library modeled C++ iterators with pointer semantics because they assumed everyone could do pointer arithmetic, but nowadays the concept is not mainstream at all.

It’s not just normal people who are outgunned — I am tech-savvy and have had an iPhone since the day they were released. I know how to modify notification settings, but there’s nothing I can do preemptively when can simply Twitter add a new category of notifications, as they did the other day. I had to go into the notification settings within the app and disable this new category, and then do it again for each of the three accounts on my phone.

Similarly, Lyft makes it nearly impossible to figure out where to turn off the coupon notifications. And don’t get me started on LinkedIn...

This isn’t just an issue for normal people. It’s also time-consuming and troublesome for anyone short of the dev who built the dark pattern.
If you want to grok Scrum you should read James Coplien's A Scrum Book or his related work on patterns.

Right. The string library is in glib.

There were a few big libraries in the ecosystem if I remember well, GTK, glib and another two. They're from the same origin and often mixed together.

It's been almost a decade since I dabbled into this stuff day-to-day. I think being forced to use glib is the turning point in a developer's life where you realize you simply have to move on to a more usable language.
Thank God I have ebay to protect me from reading Doctor Seuss! Now please excuse me while I go bid on a vintage copy of "Charles Manson In His Own Words".
I think one way to put it is that normies don't like a visible reminder of what the service/organization knows about them, but are otherwise perfectly content to not care about how the sausage is made. (Which is understandable since naturally a non-tech person isn't going to have a good mental model of what cookies, HTTP requests, tracking pixels etc are)

In other words, you can track the normies all you want as long as your app doesn't do something "creepy" that reveals how much it really does know about them
1. That doesn't mean killing it is worse, and I'd go as far as to say this case is objectively better to let rot. Imagine the outrage and brand stink that would create for Google, who is already known for killing things liberally, in a product space that is focused on longterm reliability. By letting it rot, people who deployed and are just leaving on autopilot don't have to do anything, and GCP offers lots of alternatives that can use Python 3.

2. Bad product management / development speed seems to be the case here, not rot or killing, as it seems it's actually not stuck on Python 2 anymore, or for long [1]

3. Even if neither of the two things above were true, I have seen no bad press on GCP due to this, and I'm a heavy GCP user, though just not in this niche. I've used Python cloud functions as well as GAE though.

Basically every (non-C) string implementation in existence has to do dynamic memory allocation under the hood, which is hidden from the programmer. That’s the overhead.
Python is great fun, and you can be really productive with it, but for people first coming into programming, a language with an explicit and strict type system is invaluable.

I used to think that everyone should be taught python first, because it lets you focus on the meat of computer science - algorithms, data manipulation, actually _doing_ something - but after helping my girlfriend out with some comp sci 101-104 projects, I really think Go, Java, or Rust should be everyone's first language. It's hard for someone new to the field to understand the nuances that come with python's corner cutting. You can work yourself into some weird corners because of how permissive the language is, where in a (strongly) typed language, the complier just says no.
This isn't something I would be even remotely capable of doing myself and I probably don't understand the vast majority of what they are talking about but I absolutely love that this exists and there are people who enjoy digging into and doing a nice write up about it.
A bit off-topic, but I use Green Eggs and Ham to help teach my friends English here in Asia.

It works pretty well, since there is quite a limited vocabulary. And it's pretty magical! I can have someone reading aloud from the book quite fluently, with extremely limited english skills, after only a few hours.

The other part is, because of the superior illustration skills of the author, people quickly understand the difference between things like "here" and "there".

Because of the repetition of words, they quickly memorize them permanently.

We take those things for granted, and I'm not sure if that was the Doctor's intent, but gosh-darned it, it is so effective for teaching adults to read English.

I wish there were more books like that.
> 100Mbps download so that multiple people can simultaneously stream 4k video is not a sane default.

It is if you don't want to update the minimum every 5 years. 100 isn't even high enough, IMO. It should be at least 500 down and at least 100 up to be safe for another decade, maybe 2.

If the pandemic has shown most of the world anything, it's that people need internet with high speeds. With the increasing gap between rich and poor, there are more people in flat shares too (per flat and total flat shares). Houses are bought later, if at all.

You can do that, we have several customers launching a product for this purpose.

You can also build services for a broader set other use cases. Including financing purchases like inventory, equipment, supplies, inventory, real estate, ect. Or just more general purpose funding, it just depends on the user base and their needs.

I'm a little confused. Are you actually referring to the word "okay"? What is CNL?
I appreciate it. We've struggled with communicating the non-binge aspect, and usually approach it from the other side: by talking about reviews, spaced repetition, remembering, etc. But I think you're right that approaching it from the "non-binge" side is a good idea. Coincidentally, we're about to do a major landing page revision, so the timing is right to give that a try!

As for apologizing for charging money... you're right there too. A lot of people will complain when someone dares to charge money for learning resources, even those that take multiple full-time staff to maintain. I think that's worn me down a fair bit!
It’s not a measurement tool though - it’s tool for self-calibration. If anyone outside the software team sees those estimates then the process is broken. Doubly so if they’re tied to any performance evaluation.

Not really. GDPR establishes specific rules around data protection and retention, but what I am proposing is having them establish a contractual obligation to abide by their claims with pre-defined damages in the event of a breach of contract to demonstrate a commitment to their claims. GDPR is about data protection, this model is about honesty/fulfilling obligations which just so happens to be about data protection in this case. If they want to gobble up all the data and they are completely honest and forward about it such that the average impacted individual properly understands the scope and degree of what is occurring, then I do not care too much about it since at least everybody is going in with open-ish eyes. It is doing so while lying about it or appealing to people's wishful thinking then blaming them for not reading the fine print that is truly evil.
Ah, indeed! Thanks for the link.

I think many of the "safe C" variants get tripped up by starting with fat pointers (length + pointer as an atomic value) and then have trouble (rightly so!) when trying to squeeze them through the C standard ABI; it's a square peg in round hole sort of situation.

The key observation from WalterBright's post is that the C standard ABI already has a way to pass fat pointers, using a pair of arguments (size_t and char *) in an ad-hoc manner.

It's the not-useful-but-legal C99 VLA declaration in the function prototype that could, if one is willing to violate the C99 spec, allow a compiler to automatically derive a fat pointer inside the body of a function in a manner that is backwards-compatible with the C standard ABI.
Seems pretty condescending.

I hope you realize that the US is not uniform as a single entity, because I live here, and I can also say "hi from the developed world", given I have at least 2 providers here willing to give me symmetrical 1000Mbps up/down for $50-70 with no data caps (and I have been using one of them for the past 2 years and couldn't be happier). But this is far from being the case everywhere in the US.
I’d imagine you look for job openings for “adjunct professor” or “instructor” at universities. You can look forward to part-time employment with no benefits and no chance for tenure (this isn’t a dig at adjunct faculty, it’s unfair how it works in the US). Depending on the field of study and school, you need anywhere from bachelors to a PhD to qualify.

That sounds like a fixed cost to build the network, not the cost of running the network. I agree, building a higher capacity network is more expensive, but how does the cost of running a network change with utilization? If a network is underutilized does it somehow cost less to operate?
Calling out my potential bias[es] up front: I am a former certified scrum master. I let it expire intentionally. I don't necessarily dislike Agile/scrum but I think it has a lot of weaknesses that aren't addressed, and it gets applied as a panacea in instances that might be better served with waterfall or some hybrid.

> Besides being a dream for micromanagers, it seems to be more about signalling progress vs. actually making progress.

Agile is one of those things that seems like a dream for micromanagers, and if the extent of your company's Agile implementation is saying that you "do Agile" then yeah it's going to be a nightmare. But Agile teams are supposed to be largely self-organized and self-managing. I don't want to No True Scotsman this but if you're doing Agile right there's very little room for some external micromanager to impose their will upon you, but there's certainly room for one to crop up internally.

An old coworker used to say that Agile was created by someone who was sexually attracted to meetings. We don't do a lot of them, or we do them with a subset (on our team of ~11 including the manager and analysts, backlog grooming is 2-3 people for example).
It is, by Russians living in exile.
I'd say "That sounds too good to be true. You'd have to spend millions of years of development to produce something like that."
And that makes sense to me. I'm talking about what I perceive to be a bigger, more diffuse fear about C in general due to the sins of the runtime and the language itself. Maybe I'm simply wrong.
I've actually had more success teaching assembly as a first language than C. There's less magic, and you borderline have to start with the indirection of pointers in a way that people seem to grok a lot easier than the last month of the semester of learning C.

I now understand what you were trying to say. I think it is still wrong to think of it as "memorization vs. generalization". In my opinion, the question is "why does it happen to generalize when it is in the process of memorization?" As alluded to in another comment, my belief is that the dimensionality of neural networks combined with certain optimization schemes favor networks whose outputs aren't overly sensitive to changes in the data. That is basically the definition of generalization. It also explains why double descent occurs. First, it memorizes as best as it can since this is "easy", then the optimization scheme starts to push it towards parameters that yield better generalizability.
Was setting up a new iPhone yesterday and got burned by a zombie spinner that I believed was indicating progress was being made on the iOS 14.4 update. Left it alone for 2 hours expecting it to be done only to find it as I had left it. Restarted the process and the spinner didn't appear at all. It was like it was a spinner which could only show in the event that it had broken.
Engagement when done properly is tied back to a meaningful and measurable life (or business) output or outcome. The underlying assumption here is we should be collectively helping each other.

For me, agile is synonymous with a common sense approach: take small steps to your goal, and don't be alarmed if you need to pivot your strategy along the way, as no one has a crystal ball.

Having said that, I've seen a lot of agile projects fail, because people are too busy worrying about being "agile", while forgetting to apply common sense.
