> At that point it is far more efficient to be able to improve over all output, not just your own.

There's only so much you can improve if the output is low. After all, if all your seniors spend their days managing, who does the actual coding? Juniors. And what happens with them after they've "mastered the skill of solving a hard problem"? They become seniors, stop coding and start teaching the next batch of juniors.

This seems like purposefully limiting the quality of the work, and increasing the time it takes.

> there becomes a point of diminishing returns in terms of pure engineering skill

It's quite surprising, if we think about it - software engineering is about as close as you can get to pure productivity multiplier. It shouldn't have diminishing returns, not so soon. It should have exponential returns. After all, the same skills that can be applied to a problem, can be also applied to a meta-problem of solving the problem faster.
Not really, the commercial 'net had been humming along without overly blatant censorship on ideological grounds for about 15 years before this became an issue. Forums and social media platforms can be moderated without taking an ideological stance by making sure the moderators are as ideologically diverse as the potential user base.
Whenever the details are swept under the rug, I feel uneasy. Maybe it’s a need for control, but I feel like not understanding the configuration is not doing yourself any favors when it comes time to debug.
As long as you think the rewards are worth the costs, then you're doing well. Sounds as if you've been thoughtful about the accounting, and the non-monetary rewards are valuable to you in well articulated ways.

In 10 and 20 years you might make different choices, but thats then, and this is the time you get the experience to make those choices. Don't miss unique things in favor of stuff thats there everyday, and beware of others taking advantage of your enthusiasm.
All the people that come from a place where speech can get you jailed, can only come because they are alive. There's a certain element of survivorship bias there.

It's amazing, but it also shows how poor the defense against buffer overflows is in many programs.
Perl is frustrating. Having variables in scalar, hash and arrays is not do bad. But having the strange syntax to use them is so annoying. Coming from other languages it always takes me a day to get back in the habit. I'd gladly never touch Perl again.
I agree, it is absolutely a matter of judgment and is heavily dependent on the stage and specific threats a particular organization faces. It is difficult to balance product velocity with the need to protect a growing "something to lose" that the company is accumulating.

I think one of the best things we can do as security professionals is to identify or work to create security measures that have outsized ROI and advocate for those. Using battle-tested software is one, as are, I believe, measures like MFA.

> but their devs make far less and they lack any superstar tech giants

These two are related. You can’t have high salaries without a competitive market full of money sloshing around.

A company making $300k/employee can never pay as much as a company making $1mm/employee. Even if it wants to.

I wonder how much brain drain the EU tech scene experiences by people working for US tech companies. Either remotely, via local offices, or plain old moving to USA.

If the gene sequencer is exploitable by some DNA sequence, maybe is possible for a physical virus to evolve in a way to trigger the bug so his survival probability increases by confusing the scientists looking at them :) Maybe the future will be full of unexpected interplay's between software and the biological world.
> "beauty" as a concept would not exist if we were not here.

This is incorrect - see e.g. http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150511-why-are-animals-so-b... or https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/09/magazine/beauty-evolution...

One of the unattractive human attributes is our self-centered arrogance. And unfortunately, combine with our other traits this results in some pretty bad behaviors that have a terrible impact on other species. The question of whether the planet would be better off without humans is not so obviously answered in the negative.

But arrogance lifted to these levels would probably not exist if we weren't here.
I’m not sure who he is thinking of when he says, “those who manage a corporation”. If he means senior executives then he is definitely wrong. Most executives do not have a high quality of work life. They may get money, power, and status, but it often comes at a high cost.
Become decent at an RTS and you can cross this one off the list pretty easily :)
I'd say a large majority of Americans complaining about student debt today have advanced degrees in non-technical fields. The extra earning power you get in the U.S. for STEM degrees far outstrips any cost of college or healthcare compared to Europe.
I see. Sometimes it seems, that there is some kind of animosity towards any non-markdown format, as if markdown was the one and only. Ha, so far from it ... But everything else must be eradicated with some kind of hostility, it seems. The people exhibiting this kind of behavior often do not know other formats well, nor have they bothered to use another format for a while to find out about what it can express. It is as if children do not want to give up on their favorite toy, even when there is need for something more capable, to write technical documentation.

I have used Markdown, Pandoc Markdown, probably Github Markdown, probably other dialects of Markdown and I kept missing features for writing documents.

I have written a thesis in rST and it worked very well, even though Pandoc at the time did not understand citations and arbitrary document internal references (both of which standard markdown does not have) in rST well enough. I had to write my own pre-parser for it. I could not have written that thesis in some markdown dialect incapable of expressing things, that one simply needs in academic writing. There was Pandoc Markdown, but it felt bolted-on and rather ad-hoc in comparison to rST, which brought all the things out of the box.

I remember also looking at AsciiDoc at some point. Not sure, why I did not choose it.

Then I discovered Org-mode. It has been a journey to uncover more and more of org-mode capabilities. Org-mode does not suffer from the same eco-system split up as markdown does. It does not have this bolted on feeling, that many markdown dialects leave me with. It usually has everything I need. In fact, I have written technical documents in it as well and have discovered things like literate programming. The tooling in Emacs is so good, it is really nice to work with org files. Good, that I can still export to primitive markdown, for anyone not knowledgeable in org-mode. Even though org files are merely human-readable plain text documents. It is unfortunate, that VCS hosts are unable to render them properly.

I would really dislike going back to markdown only. It feels so limiting to me now, that I have developed an aversion against writing documentation in an unsuitable format like markdown (talking standard markdown, probably commonmark). If there is already markdown only documentation, then well OK, I guess I can write it, although it surely will not feel great.
Well, that was in the past. Mistakes were made. But now, with modern theories and Science, we, The Warriors of Light, have finally figured out what's right, once and for all. So we can throw out the caution and the epistemic humility to the wind and go punch the baddies. Doesn't it feel good?!
>Wages have been flat for so long that the slight increase in costs, distributed around a person's life, caused by the pandemic pushes McJobs into "working there makes a loss" territory

Just to be clear, you think working at a McJob actually costs you money?
See:

> ... since there is no mention of other claims or parties to the mix [like company A]. That means the company [B] owns the copyright to the added code and is free to comply with the contract (license).

I'm also not sure whether the confidentiality clause would weigh heavier than a 'must provide source on request' clause, perhaps it could be resolved by not distributing the part that's covered by the confidentiality clause since another standalone library is clearly not a derivative work of the GPL-licensed library. Then only B has to distribute what they made for everyone's benefit.
Alright, so a move towards more in-depth understanding of interaction of group velocity with medium in these situations / observations.. not as media spun it towards "faster than light" BS. Media's gonna med, I guess. Still valuable research, but phenomenon is decades old (in research).
>> What I do care when I ask you coding question is that you can think logically, ask right questions, work with me to find a solution to the problem and also that you can use the tools that are at your disposal.

Well, I can’t fault your perspective. As an interviewee I’d like to complain about interviewing fads and about silly questions with dubious rationale. But I have to agree with your premise, as an interviewer I’ve also tried to make the best of it understanding that my reasoning about such things is imperfect.
I would even say that good code is not always in a businesses best interests. The business needs to change quickly and cheaply. So they rack up technical debt. Often getting away with it for decades. The developers suffer through it but the CEOs walk away with more money in their pockets.
I don’t see any mention of domain names. Domain names should be set up properly, like implementing dnssec, dmarc, dkim, spf, and using a secure registrar. So many overlook domain security.

All principles are rooted in that kind of pragmatism, starting with thou shalt not kill.

And it's valuable. Barely a year after getting people fired for takes was popularized during BLM, we see the cannon turned on journalists who wrote a pro-palestine essay in college. Nobody could have predicted it.

Even between storms, there is a somewhat permanent haze of dust which you can see in the area as you peer off toward distant mountains.
It may not be in rich West Coast cities with NIMBY problems where the cost of everything is 3x what it should be, but $10/h is easily livable in flyover towns. The primary cost of living is rent and rent in places with functioning city councils is low. I'm talking $500/mo for a decent sized apartment. $10/h is $1600, you're not paying taxes with that low of a wage. Add in car payments, car insurance, health insurance, and food and you've probably got $100 to spare every month.

Seriously, the only reason wages need to be so high for low skill jobs in California is because the idiots governing here can't wrap their head around building more housing and every little social justice issue blocks construction approvals. If you cut the rent prices by 5x in the Bay you'd make $10/h a living wage.
Had the pleasure of working with Major at Rackspace; his professionalism, ethics, and quality of person always impressed me and inspired me to be a better version of myself every day. This move is a very mature decision; one that was probably bittersweet. Kudos Major on taking a step forward and putting the stewardship where it belongs.
>> So I'd like to see more of that kind of approach, where you have these very powerful general techniques that you can call on but then on top of that, you try to learn the patterns for how to use them.

Here, Peter Norvig is advocating for, essentially, neuro-symbolic AI (there is an actual research field, with a conference and all, named that, but of course here he's talking more generally about the combination of pattern matching and logical reasoning).

My question is, how is this ever going to work when tutors are removing resolution theorem proving from the curriculum and Russel and Norvig have cut down that part of their book, to an inch of its life, as Peter Norvig says earlier in the interview:

>> We kept a lot of the old material, even though we know people are skipping
it. So professors aren't teaching resolution theorem proving anymore, but we
kept that in. We cut down that material quite a bit, but it's still there.

We got plenty of folks trained to fill in the "neuro" part of Peter Norvig's plan. How about the "symbolic [reasoning]" part?

Cancel culture is not responding to an argument with counter-argument. Cancel culture is responding to an argument with an effort to personally destroy whoever dared to voice that argument, exclude them from the discussion and silence them. That's why it is "cancel" culture and not "debate" culture - you're not supposed to criticize somebody, you're supposed to end ("cancel") their presence in the society. In older, harsher, times, this was done by literally murdering people, but we have, thankfully, evolved past that. Now it's done by removing these people from their jobs, blocking their social media accounts, preventing them (sometimes by violent action) from speaking on any public forum and attacking (again, sometimes violently) of anybody who dares to give them support and comfort. Much more civilized!
Were they IEPs?

In the US, public school students with disabilities (learning and otherwise) are legally entitled to “Individualized Educational Programs”, which is supposed to be tailored to their particular needs and abilities. For example, a student with a speech impairment might be allowed to pre-record a presentation, or do it in private, rather than live in front of the whole class. There are a lot of requirements, and putting together something that passes legal muster and really tries to support the student seems like a lot of work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individualized_Education_Progr...
You are talking text book liberal but I believe the person you are responding to is using liberal to refer to a specific political party, The Democratic Party. Democrats are referred to as liberals or THE liberals in the US.
The term "well regulated" in the second amendment means something like "in good working order". (Compare the sense of the word "order" as "command", which is a similar development.) This is very clear if you read the contemporaneous discussion, which often substitutes synonyms. The idea is that you can call for a force from the militia and they will show up, already possessing weapons that they already know how to use.

(Another thing you'll learn immediately by reading that discussion is that one of the primary purposes of the second amendment was to prevent the United States from having a standing army...)
Air cargo is probably the majority of that 1.8 billion gallons. Then there are chartered aircraft and aircraft owned by corporations and other wealthy organizations. The helicopters operated by news organizations. The aircraft used to supply areas where ships and trucks cannot go, e.g., Antarctica. The vast majority of the aircraft I just described are operated by professional pilots.

A turboprop engine will cost millions of dollars in purchase cost and maintenance cost over its lifetime just like other jet engines will.

I'll agree on the rest, but more docs != better docs; BSDs tend to ship complete manpages without needing to wade through a hundred blogposts (half of which are out of date or slightly wrong).
The head of the ACLU from the 1970s to 2001 says he doesn't think the ACLU of today would have taken the cases that made them famous. (See "Mighty Ira" a documentary on him.)

The ACLU caving to political donors under new executive directors in the Obama years isn't a nothingburger to lawyers like me who looked up to them.
Atlassian was bootstrapped for about a decade. It was profitable, had more than 200 employees, and was turning about $60 million in revenue before taking outside funding. It was far more late stage than the vast fraction of companies.

So I need to figure out how to translate my recently acquired OMSCS degree into more money, apparently. My current company gave me a lot of 'attaboys' but it has no value otherwise.
You know you are in the hands of a master when you read this:

In a loose, one is inclined to say a swinging, translation, Mr. Fontaine makes use of such words as “zingers,” “badmouthing,” “shtick” and “chutzpah.” (Bet you didn’t know the Romans knew Yiddish.) He also employs such contemporary phrases as “virtue-signaling,” “metrosexual” and “politically incorrect.” To enjoy his translation, one must smother the pedant in oneself and recall that there is no such thing as the perfect translation; only more or less inaccurate ones. I have myself long owed a debt of hearty laughter to a French translator who rendered “Englishmen always love an underdog” as “Les Anglais aiment toujours le ventre du chien,” or Englishmen love the belly of the dog.

Germany has strong protections for individual freedoms and privacy in their constitution, precisely to avoid an illiberal government from arising ever again. The Nazi ban is effectively the lone exception to the rule.

This said, European police generally gets away with a degree of prevarication that North Americans would find unconceivable. The US constitution enshrines the rights of individuals over government, in a way that no European country can match (as far as I know).

IMHO, just another blatant article claiming revolutionary discovery without details, papers, peer reviews aka clickbait. Moreover, this is an article you expect to find in generalist press, not in a supposed scientific journal. It's an article without signature also contradictory in some points, it starts with: "Despite exceeding the vacuum speed of light, the experiment is not at odds with Einstein's theory of relativity and is explainable by existing physical theory" and it ends with " however, because it is still correct to say that information cannot be transmitted faster than the vacuum speed of light". Is this the kind of journalism we like ?
