I suppose he could self-host it on his own site, but the reality is that many people only see YouTube videos that are recommended for them. So he's trying to reach a longer audience.

(That being said, I think the reasoning is kind of bogus. Why not retrain the team? I think they just want them off the balance sheet so they can spend less on development. But that's my guess. For all of his talk about being transparent, he didn't include many numbers.)

That advice ignores the opportunity cost of learning other things. Jack of all trades, master of none, as they say. Focus your career on what you want to focus it on. If that is Linux kernel development, great! If it's WordPress modules in PHP, great! If it's AWS (to the exclusion of GCP and Azure), great! If you'd rather specialize in multi-cloud and learn all three, awesome! Some choices will limit the future possibilities - there are fewer companies that need eg Linux kernel devs, but two of them - Facebook and Google - are both known to pay really well and aren't going away any time soon. No one has a time machine to predict the future, so who knows if Salesforce will disappear in 20 years or if it will buy out the rest of the tech industry and we'll all be working for them? Point is, specialize how you want to specialize, plenty of people have done the same and found success, others who have done the same have found failure. Others who have chosen the opposite have also done the same.
I think it is still understandable though that making those kinds of technical corrections about a study could be perceived as "defining away the problem" or getting too technical about a (potentially) real societal issue.

The mere fact that you are talking about "TV reporters" way of talking about things communicates that you have a disdain for the way such issues are commonly discussed in the media or by the general public, and correcting their statement about the study also seems to suggest that according to you really there is no gender wage gap (or it's less of an issue than people would seem to generally think), it's all just due to personal choice or preference in what type of jobs they do or something to that effect.

You can of course agree or disagree about a lot of these things, but I do think that sometimes a "mere factual correction" can have additional connotations that are much more political and not just neutral statements. It's often the opinion or suggestion behind the factual correction that causes more offense.

Well then the presence of a cost breakdown becomes a selling point. If the price of your product is unusually low compared to your competitors that openly display their costs and you don't, maybe that would raise some (deserved) suspicion that something else is going on.
I think you have to start somewhere though when you are coming from the technical side and don't have as many business chops. Tech people tend to think it's about 1 when they first start because learning the tech is a big enough hurdle. They learn the tech quickly and either leave, or start acquiring the domain knowledge.

Across Salesforce and similar technology (think SharePoint/SAP/PeopleSoft), I know people who started on 1, but are now on 2. I'm not sure I'd have expected them to become 2 and it took time, but they weren't going to get to repeat 2 as a career without having aptitude for 1.

The other path that exists is becoming a specialized consulting firm. You become an expert in 1 and know enough about 2, as well as having built a network with lots of other number 2s. You can then support them to achieve their needs. This is a really common alternative to doubling down on the business side within an organization when this tech is involved. There are lots of sub-contracting opportunities and some will become acquihires for the generalist consulting companies who themselves are looking to get acquired by CapGemini, Accenture, etc.
Also oddly redundant, most daemons end in a "d" to denote daemon, so that name is a bit like the toe-curling "RAID array".

More than that, Benno Schulenberg, nano's main developer, is actively against changes turn nano into anything close to a mini-IDE. He rejected patches that could nano have code completion from external tools, multi-pane/screens, source code navigation and many others.

I don't think that there is much of a TA benefit -- you make a request (and let's assume it's just a packet count/timing analyzer) and 10 packets burst out of your device to Mighty, then 10 packets burst out from Mighty to the destination. How is that not equally analyzable?

> Both of these scenarios place equal amount of trust in service operator - the difference is in security is against other adversaries.

This is where I would strongly disagree. With a VPN they can analyze your endpoints, but assuming E2E encryption, they cannot see your actual packets. Whereas Mighty is definitionally a MITM browser, they can see everything. Therefore you are trusting Mighty incredibly more than a VPN provider.

As much as I like ZeroMQ-style projects, it seems like I end up trying to build a worse clone of Kafka whenever I use them.

At the end of the day, most people are going to want:

- Load-balanced consumers
- Distributed brokers
- "Exactly-once" delivery (within some acceptable time)/storage limit)

When you start to implement these features, you rebuild Kafka.
Unfortunately, yes. There used to be a time when Pidgin could be my client for everything. I could configure everything the way I wanted it to be, I could find everything in one place and I could rely on my own environment to ensure that messages could be automatically archived long-term. It was a utopia compared to what we have now.
As an engineer I have never felt more productive, everyone on my team agrees that a return to office would dampen productivity, and at a startup even a temporary "re-adjustment period" at the wrong time could turn into a disaster.

I get it. I have municipal broadband and it's obviously the better choice in my area right now. In the future it may not be though and if you run all the competition out of town by undercutting it with subsidized tax payer dollars then you might not like what's left when it comes time to upgrade that network. More choices, alternatives are always going to be better.
I feel just about anything by Zachtronics fits this category. Spacechem was the title that got me back into indie gaming in 2012, but almost every single one of their games is essentially programming for fun. They really dropped the facade with Shenzhen I/O and TIS-100. The beautiful part about those games is how much story and narrative is pushed through design docs and specs and hidden man pages.

I feel Factorio also sits right on the edge of this category. You do get to shoot bugs, but in the end, you're really just debugging a giant wafer.

Bitwarden, and all web based password manager clients, rely on client side crypto for ensuring the data is not viewable by the service provider.

I'd argue that I would like to see more client-side crypto. I'd prefer my data to be stored encrypted and inaccessible to third parties such as Google. Google Drive or Dropbox would get my business back instantly if they supported client-side encryption of data. Of course, in Google's case, that would completely break the business model of mining us for every ounce of data.

There is also LFortran, an interactive Fortran compiler:

Yes, there can be a lot of money in unpopular legacy tech like COBOL or PL/SQL when the pool of workers is evaporating faster than the pool of jobs.

The problem is, if the pool of jobs is evaporating then some day you're going to need a different job. And if years of legacy support has left you with no modern skills, no successful projects of any substance, and high salary requirements that could be a tough place to find yourself.

Since natural immunity is durable, an unmitigated pandemic would be over sooner. So in many circumstances the hospitals would be overloaded for less total time and thus lead to less non-covid excess deaths.

Here in Canada, excess deaths in 2020 for the 15 to 64 age range has been abnormally high, starting in March. Yet, unlike older age groups, the level of excess does not follow the pattern of reported COVID infections. That looks like deaths from lockdown and delayed medical care.

I personally know people who, for example, put off getting potential cancers checked out due to fear of covid. Similarly, I had to convince some people to go to the hospital for potentially serious non-covid symptoms who were afraid to do so because of covid.

> You don't have to use it as a measure of productivity

What I've found is this is well understood by technical people, but not so much by non-technical people.

I won't go into too much detail, but to make the long story short, Amazon, Google, Apple, and other tech giants are scaring the shit out of non-traditional tech companies in the financial industry, health care, etc. And the reason for that is, they (tech giants) are going into different verticals and they (non tech companies) realize they need to develop software faster and they are desperately looking for ways to help them overcome their ability to manage and attract tech talent.

So for them, when they see GitPrime, GitHub Insights and other similar solutions, they get very excited as they believe they found that magical translator that can help them better manage developers. This is why software metrics is rarely adopted by tech companies but is in high demand by non tech companies, which there are MANY. For example, I was talking to a developer in a food storage company that develops in-house software to manage their automation systems. It is these non-traditional tech companies that really want to be able quantify developer productivity and why lines of code, commits, can be so dangerous.

I have a Tesla rated for ~320 miles. On the highway (75mph), I see closer to 250 miles in the real world. My first charge stop will typically be around 200-220 miles way, last 20-30 minutes and provide enough range for another 150-180 miles. The most optimal way to travel in the Tesla is to stop for slightly less than 20 minutes but only travel another 120 miles before stopping, as peak charging rates are between 5 and 50%, but I don't typically bother to micro-optimize this much.

I recommend playing with your start and destination addresses in https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ to see what they would look like with charging included.

Its definitely a little slower than gas. Right now, the best speeds that you can average on a long trip are ~60mph inclusive of charging stops. That is pushing REALLY hard, though. I suspect most folks end up closer to 50mph.
I personally find the "uncanny valley" of those too close to home; they're like programming, but without all the normal tools for programming because they're in a game which almost by definition has arbitrary rules and limitations.

That depends. The question you want to ask yourself is, do you want to spend the rest of your career learning to use one limited toolbox or do you want to make your own tools?

So the paper is not being published? Then what was the whole point of the research
Historical quibbles aside (I agree, BTW), this is a very accurate take on the modern day situation.
I just went on a long trip and going on a couple more in a few months. The Tesla navigation will autopilot you to the charging stations making it a something you don’t even need to think about. Most of the chargers are near food or shopping but we usually just take the time to stretch or get some fresh air. By the time your charge is low you definitely feel like you need a stretch anyways. We also went camping at an RV site and plugged the car in. We were able to run the heater while we slept in sleeping bags in the back. If we weren’t at an RV site we would have charged to 95% at a super charger and driven in and tent camped for 5 days and it would have been more than enough to get us back.

Yeah, monkey-patching is pretty much what it sounds like: a monkey ripping stuff out of and bolting stuff onto everything with a wrench. But despite how incredibly ugly and complex it sounds and how much any decent programmer shudders at the thought of it, in practice it seems most people never really run into issues with it if they're using pure-Python non-asyncio libraries.

And the external API they provide is really clean; you generally don't have to think about any of the internals. You just use everything exactly like you already would and pepper in straightforward abstractions like gevent.Pool and gevent.spawn. Internally, it might be the antithesis of Pythonic, but the external interface and developer experience is very Pythonic.

Attribution of malware can be difficult and the lack of details like who was targeted and missing plugins don't leave enough information to guess who might have been interested in developing this.
I searched through the full report:

There were six mentions of Tesla.

* just two mentions of General Motors

* one mention of Volkswagen, Ford, Volvo, etc.

* only one mention of Hyundai about its hydrogen trucks

* zero mentions of Toyota, BMW, FCA, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda

It's true that I'm looking at too small a sample here to draw a conclusion just from this report alone. But given the fact that Tesla has been investing in electric vehicle development for the better part of two decades while every other automaker was resting on their laurels, I think it's fair to add it to the mountain of evidence that Tesla is well on its way to being the Apple of this decade.

I know that legacy automakers will eventually produce some good EVs, and I'm glad that they are finally appearing to take this seriously. However, I think that many of them will not survive the coming wave of consolidation. In general they are far too indebted, too dependent on marketing, and lack the vertical integration required to deliver affordable EVs in volume.

I think the Apple analogy is especially apt: since the iPhone was unveiled, Apple has earned the majority of the profits in the smartphone market. There are good reasons to think that this effect will be even more pronounced for Tesla, given the fact that it is developing large-scale manufacturing capacity on each continent (whereas every iPhone is only made in China). Add its massive growth in the energy storage and leadership in autonomous vehicles and the full picture becomes even clearer.

(Yes, I have a large position in $TSLA. No, I'm quite certain that this post will not move the stock even a cent. My point is only that in a few years time, Tesla will dominate multiple industries, and the auto market will be just one of them.)
