This author has published a couple of articles like this at the New Yorker They all have this in common: the author works through some interesting and in some ways unusual cases where data or statistics have been improperly or naively applied, with some social costs. I really enjoy the articles themselves.

Then the New Yorker packages it up with a cartoon and a headline and subheadline like "Big Data: When will it eat our children?" or "Numbers: Do they even have souls?", and serves it up to their technophobic audience in a palatable way.

Sounds great! All those sound like good habits. Thanks for sharing!
Rust isn't that hard to learn. I teach it to college sophomores who only know Java, and within 2-3 months I have them writing parsers and interpreters in Rust. In fact these students are requesting our courses to be taught in Rust, and have never heard of Zig.

I think that while the language is a little complicated, this is tempered by how nice the tooling is. I consider the borrow checker to be my TA, as it actually helps the student write code that is structured better. When they go on to write C and C++ in later courses, their code is actually more memory safe due to having their habits having been shaped by Rust.
I thought most companies succeed in this area by eating cost. I guess if you wanted to remain hyper local it might be possible?
Let me just say, it's nice to see a sane comment every once in a while. The world seems to have gone completely off the deep end and is throwing itself at the mercy of petty authoritarian bureaucrats.

Which uncommon infants are scholars?
That is a 39% rate on the income they make over $500k. That income was made possible by the laws and government activities that made people willing to spend $100/ticket or more to sit in a stadium/arena and watch the athlete play for an hour while millions of others tune in from the safety of their homes during their leisure time.

If the athlete doesn't like having a low 39% tax rate, they are free to move to Europe, where the same income is taxed at over 50%, or to Asia, where they won't pay as much in tax but they would also be making considerably less money before and after tax.
It's impossible to discuss your claim, because the only sources I could find making it were taking quotes and interpreting them in bad faith. If you have primary sources that back up what you're claiming I'd be interested. Otherwise it just seems like red team FUD.

Any large organization seeking change will always have members that stretch their agenda, framing it in terms of paving over everything with their pet paradigm. But judging a group by its outliers is fallacious. I've got no worry that BLM will somehow end up in charge of everything - they will be lucky if they accomplish one fifth of what they set out to do.

The energy of Black Lives Matter is based on bringing murderers to justice - something that anybody who believes in the rule of law should be concerned with. I'm unconcerned with who is statistically more likely to be killed by police. What I am concerned with is that an armed gang broke into fellow American Breonna Taylor's home and murdered her, but has yet to be prosecuted due to corruption! Every single one of these incidents is an injustice, regardless of skin color.

If you can point me to a similar non-racist or non-"Marxist" (your standard) organization fighting for the rule of law to be applied to the police, I am all ears.

As my previous comment alludes to, basing one's organization on racism is channeling a negative energy that will stay with the movement forever. But after seeing the reaction to BLM and the general events of 2020, apparently that overt racism exists to a greater degree than my New England sensibilities had imagined, and so they might as well acknowledge and use it.
I think they mean "Katy Perry" and "Ariana Grande" are fictional characters as the public knows them. They are characters played by two artists and supported by media/storytelling.

I think they should split university courses - a course about parsing (no need to even mention compilers) and a course about compilers that starts from an AST. Many the former a requirement and the latter an elective.
Here’s the discord server https://discord.gg/D43Pecu

I agree it’s not straightforward to know it exists but that’s probably the point. Once you do know I literally just googled ‘Sublime Text Discord’ and it was the first result. Look in the #announcement channel there. Been using v4 builds for months. Love it so much I’m recording a course on it!
Anecdotal, but my new 16 inch MBP drops BT connections all the time. I had to give up the keyboard and mouse I've used for years across at least 5 computers, mostly Mac's because they disconnected so much. Even the Apple keyboard and mouse I switched to drop occasionally.

This seems like a reductive view which is based on ignorance of how songwriting royalties work.

Songwriting credit is copyright in the music and lyrics of the song. Artist credit is copyright in a specific recording of a song.

So if you write a song which is a great song, and Arianna Grande records a lackluster version which nobody likes that much, but then several other artists pick up on the fact that it's a great song and record their own highly successful versions, then the songwriter would do very well from this, but Arianna Grande wouldn't share in the later success of the cover versions.

If Arianna gets a 30% writers credit just for putting her own 'vibe' on the original recording, then she participates in the upside of the cover versions, even though they might have been successful despite her rather than because of her.

Two months waiting for Comrinaty in Berlin vs nobody-knows-when-and-if-you-will-have-a-choice in Poland isn't that bad but if you decide to wait you're risking being infected in the meanwhile. Also, I don't think it's worth risking going outside own country just to get shot by desired formula.

I'm bit concerned about AstraZeneca especially after reported yesterday name change to Vaxzervia [1] which sounds like a PR stunt done to save company's face since previous name is busted due to the blood clot issues - at least that seems to be the idea. At the moment people around 70 are being processed here - my mother got Pfizer's formula 1st shot today and next is due May 5th; I expect I'll have no choice but to take AstraZeneca or wait as I said, nobody knows how long. The sorta 'funny' thing is I'm living near the distribution centre in the middle of Poland where vials are being shipped around the country.

Yes, I found the piece problematic, too. It surprised me that BBC could publish an uncritical, highly sensational article like this one. No question asked about the legal basis of the operation, nor provided any in-depth background information. It reads like a tabloid story.
One area that is missed is that 37Signals didn’t really compete with heavily VC backed startups.

The question becomes what happens when your growth rate goes to 0, and your customers are churning because your VC backed competitors is cranking out features? It’s not clear that “just” spending less would have saved Flow.

This is the question though: who are these demographics?

I know Mozilla likely have a lot more data on this than I, but who is using Firefox / interested enough in Mozilla to read their marketing & research their VPN offerings, but is simultaneously not someone who would research VPN providers in general / use Mullvad?

Let's substitute cheating with something else in your sentence.

"So you wanna compete as a road runner? Fine, you can only run with other competitive runners."

See where that is going?

Cheaters don't care about other cheaters being there; they either think they can out-cheat them, or else that the other cheats don't matter: there is enough of a bonanza there that all cheaters can win, and in fact more is left if non-cheaters are eliminated.
Nice faux outrage. Perhaps he is saying that utilitarianism is a race to the bottom and that our actions shouldn't be based on an evaluation of an actions consequences but rather on the universality of it, such that we act only according to that maxim by which we can also will it to become universal law?

The examples given by OP seem like subjective self-assessment to me. I doubt if they were that bad a programmer, they'd be able to identify such issues with their own code.

It would be different if OP has received consistently negative feedback on their work, I don't know if that's the case.

I get these same issues on a Pixel 3a! The most common ones (~daily) are:

- volume stuck low or high (on headphones :/) - "fixed" with a quick bluetooth off/on cycle

- volume okay but not responsive to changes in system volume

The kernel is a forked Linux, compilable with clang, it has LinuxSE and seccomp enabled by default.

Hi! I was late into the software game, or really I had a career reset. Breath a sigh of relief, your career is not over.

1. Age does not play a factor

2. Resume progression looks cool but practically means nothing. I have hired engineers that have been demoted (maybe adversity yields character.) I'm determining if you can pass my interview, not the last person's.

3. Software Engineers go in and out of relevancy all the time, the only difference is that you're noticing it during interviewing.

Now, as a drop out, I had to learn things on my own. I'll go over what I expect out of a Senior engineer. Keep in mind I work on a team where algorithms and data structures do matter, not all teams are like this. So, think about what you want your next team to be about.

1. Have knowledge of how algorithms work and what data structures work best with them. This is useful when dealing with tasks that must scale incredible loads.

2. Asymptotics. I generally only ask Big O questions, but know what the others are too. Big O is either memorization or a deep understanding, either is fine for Senior. You would need to be able to answer time and space complexity questions in my interview, in the form of, "walk me through the time complexity of what we just did." Sometimes I'll ask about space complexity but only if I see that you allocated memory for reasons I don't understand.

3. Abstract Systems Design is my love-child. Be inventive and take calculated risks. I don't expect you to be perfect, but I do expect a data-informed plan.

4. "Clean code" is a hyped term but it will communicate something about you. Use clearly defined interfaces and keep your concerns/domains separated in code. I'll explain a bit more below.

5. Learn to write tests with definitive outcomes. Usually when I'm helping a SWE with a problem and I'm short on time it's easier to crank out some tests that will keep them within my expectations rather than hold their hand the whole way through.

The whole "clean code" thing is iffy, imo. I learned to write good looking code by attaching linters, formatters, and static analysis tools to my IDE and learning through repetition. Designing good applications was harder, but it dawned on me when I had to write multi-threaded applications or applications that implement concurrency. You will start to naturally separate your code if you start doing this.

Learning asymptotics was iterative for me. Start on one of the Big O cheat sheet pages then Google each data structure/operation to understand why it works out the way it does.

There are lots of tutorials for learning to identify algorithms and data structures. This will be time consuming, but it can also yield benefits in your work depending on what you decide to do next.

I hope this helps!

"Baffled" was a bit strong I guess. I enjoy a lot of different language/ecosystems (.net, erlang, typescript if you can call it an ecosystem) and see lots of reasons why you may build on them.

Also recognize starting a project with what language/tools you know best is often more important than picking the most optimal one for the job.
Same here. I'm a senior developer with 8+ experience. Never coded in any job with seriousness. My code is as bad as my handwriting. I started applying monastic orders and I'm left with one as others have rejected my application because of age limit.
Amazon will just introduce a bunch of meaningless virtue signalling that progressives will lap up, and the situation will continue.
There's a reasonable convention of specifying full type for a variable that is returned from a method where it's not very clear what the method returns without looking up method signature. This usually means that the method name can be is not descriptive enough, but there are case where you can't really fix that.
Other than that, I think var definitely is a huge benefit for readability and overall code design.
> if I have a bunch of money, I can pay for expertise/management that is going to net me a higher return

Not starting with $1 million. At $10 million you have to be the shark. You need to be closer to $100 million to be able to afford the sharks the don't have their own principal to work with. Even then, you still need to know how to hire the sharks.

Also, a strong point of Rust is just the way the types and the defaults are. Most people think the borrow checker is the only major thing, but Rust have this features:

* Plain Structs

* Rich enums (aka: Algebraic types) that leads to

* All replacements to nulls (Option, Result, Default(trait), Empty(idiom))

* Immutability and functional style as preferred when sensible

* Consistency in APIs by proxy of traits (all conversions going with Into/From traits, All iterables can .collect into all containers, etc)

and many things like this that make very productive to build good APIs when you get the handle of it.

There's quite a bit of evidence that they do. Apple's strength has always been at the point at which hardware is built and interfaces to the software, including firmware.
You're being purposely obtuse and attempting to establish a reality that doesn't exist. One doesn't just "start" a new payment processor, nor is anyone "free" to do anything at this point in our history.
I'd have more sympathy if he didn't include, in his primary examples, one that he himself admits there's no evidence for.

there is little direct evidence to support this exact claim. While I am willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt and consider this an inconvenient coincidence, I would not be surprised if this were a deliberate move.

"I would not be surprised if" is not how honest argument works. On the other hand, at least he admits it. A hit piece would have insisted it's all true.
I don't think what you are saying is accurate. If there is a different number of years between when they add leap months, that will alter how much the calendar has slipped by a decimal number of days.
The Nakazawa Management Starter Pack
I got authorship. The problem is that if I came up with the idea I'd have to be listed as the lead author, and that didn't seem to go over well. If I just contributed to their ideas they were fine with that. It varied per prof, some were happy to work on ideas from anyone because they saw the development of an idea as the important part, some were very strict about not accepting primary concepts that they or their grad students didn't come up with. Some listed a lead author, some put authors in alphabetical order. In one case I discovered the cause, we'd been brainstorming about new ideas for a while and I suggested a combination of several of those ideas that seemed interesting. They all got flustered and pushed the idea aside. I learned quite a while later (after we'd actually built that system) they had filed a patent a few days before for almost the identical idea and decided to leave me out of it. It made building the system awkward because they were continually coming up with alternate explanations for why this wasn't the same as the idea I had presented (and they had already also had and patented). I didn't work with them much longer.
