Workers' pay rates have barely risen over the last 40 years, while the C-suite have risen by hundreds of percentage points.

Remember, minimal wage = minimal effort.

It is different situation if you are working a summer job and going to Harvard or Stanford or any university, and work real hard in minimum wage job, because when you graduate, you will be earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. But for people who are stuck at the $7.25 federal minimum wage to $10 or $12 for life because they have a high school education and that's all they have going for them, don't expect them to think about it the same way that you think about it.

Not to denigrate your work, but if the company failed in retrospect wouldn't it have been better for society if it didn't have the patent? I would think that the situation where the one company with rights to the invention fails to commercialize it is exactly what we don't want.
There's almost zero political topics where objectivity is possible. That goal itself is usually already ideology (the goal of unbiasedness often stands in opposition of truth).

Look at global warming: Either it is man-made or not, either it is a problem for our future or not. There's no objective middle ground. Sure, one could simply have news that say "there is a drougth in the center of the US, stronger than other droughts in the last 50 years", without any context. But even this is not objective, because omitting the context of global warming already skews the message.

Or let's use a real historical example: The Soviet Union's invasion into Poland in 1939. Without any context, the SU is clearly the agressor. But with the context of Polands invasion into the SU in 1919 things suddenly look different. And with the additional context of Russia annecting polish territory in the 18th century it looks different again and so on and so on. There clearly is no way to communicate this objectively (i.e. in this case, pro-Russia people could ask why I'd stop here and not with some polish-lithuanian action before the 18th century).

The problem with low-code isn't that it's going to take away my job, it's that my job is going to get harder because low-code tools don't make it possible to do every task with code. If you're stuck using a closed-source tool that gates certain functionality behind a UI and doesn't provide an API to automate it, then you've got to either replace the tool entirely, or put a human in the loop doing a repetitive task.
My brother used to be a sound technician (and sound engineer on a lot of non-paid projects), and was named technical director on a small TV plateau during a cold epidemic, because his (our) family name came first in the technician list, and the 3 higher ranked/paid employees were sick.
That's not self-contradictory though -- it's just good old contradiction with a different position. So a person who only holds one of those beliefs would potentially be fine, as far as self-contradiction is concerned.

Besides, beliefs can be prioritized and in shades of gray. Somebody could value the life of an embryo very highly (going so far as to call it "inviolate" at times when they aren't carefully weighing their beliefs -- few people do that all the time, so we should allow for some lapses in precision), but still believe that certain other concerns trump it. After all, most pro-choice folks do value the life of an embryo highly, they just believe that the mother's rights over her body are even more important.
But even then, was all the BS and pissing people off necessary?

They are certainly not the kind of wheels you'd want to use on steep roads with unpredictable weather (e.g. because the trip was planned months in advance and the bike), anybody into that kind of toy usually keeps a set of low section wheels for those occasions (or bike/bikes, if the looks just don't match). Disc brake doesn't change that by the way, because crosswinds can be brutal in the mountains.

You can also do large pages, 2MB or 1GB or whatever the obscenely large page size is for 5-level paging on latest systems.

2MB vs 4kB isn't quite the same ratio as 4MB -> 32GB, but it's still a lot less pages to cache in the TLB, and it's not too big to manage when you need to copy on write or swap out (or compress with zram) and whatever else needs to be done at the page level.

Part of the problem is that supermarkets are designed to pessimize picking efficiency while fulfillment centers are designed to optimize it. Maybe “pessimize” is too strong a word, but a supermarket wants to route you all the way around the damn store just to buy produce, meat, milk, and bread just so you have to see all their promotional end cap displays and maybe wander down an aisle or two. And since it takes so much time to go grocery shopping, you don’t have time to actually cook that same night so why not pick up a hot chicken dinner while you’re there? On your way out you have to stand in line surrounded by tabloids, women’s magazines, candy bars, gum, maybe some cold drinks.

It’s a good hustle and I don’t really begrudge them at all, but it’s diametrically opposed to the goals of efficiently fulfilling e-commerce orders.
This is exactly how I feel, I just wonder if they can work together? If a company wants some basic CRUD / form / report functionality, please use a tool to build it - it's absolutely mind numbing to develop. But what if it needs to integrate into another system, or needs to be combined with an external source and produce results (trying to name things possibly outside of the tools scope) - how can we as developers hook into it? Are they stuck with the tool unable to fulfill their business needs / weird hybrid things / move away from the tool?

It's gonna be interesting when it happens.

I'd actually argue differently.

It's more about a design process that requires domain knowledge, technical knowledge and the ability to assess a problem contextually.

Coding is only part of this process.

Yes. But news should strive for thruth, not for objectivity. For example, if the president says something that is evidently false, the press IMO has the responsibility to say so, even if this is clearly biased towards the interests of the opposition.
Good low-code tools would be great. But you are still going to need software developers to operate them.

The biggest job of software development is not just coding stuff, it is identifying the problem to solve and engineering a solution. Define a data model, think about which data is needed where, what can be done and so on. And then: properly test it! Develop tests, that confirm your stuff is actually working and safe.

Non-technical people most of the time are not able to come up with working solutions. And they never manage to properly test their software. As a reference check all those horrible Excel/VBA sheets. They are useful, but also a source of a lot of problems.

Well, it doesn't end with China. Around ~2010, once you scrub off the weasel word hedging, The Economist was predicting an imminent Eurozone breakup. It didn't predict the entirely predictable austerity recessions of 2012-2015. They were fairly bullish on Abenomics in Japan. They were very bullish on the future of BRICS around ~2008, out of which Brazil, Russia and South Africa are stagnating ever since.

Then, there's a very important tool in forming editorial slant - omitting reporting on inconvenient facts. Italy and Spain, the putatively sluggish laggards strangled by overly strict labor protection laws, have somehow overtaken the allegedly dynamic UK in labor productivity. Ireland, the purported economic wonder, have a household disposable income (a fairly good metric of material standards of living), lower than Italy and much lower than France. We keep hearing about the importance of education, competitiveness, R&D and ease of doing business, yet somehow Finland, which tops the rankings, is in year 14 of it's economic stagnation. Have you heard any of this from The Economist?
Nope. I wouldnt care if it was Alex Jones who published the footage and neither should you. The footage is raw and not a reflection of any party other than the subject. It’s not edited or altered in any significant way let alone in a way that would change its meaning. Technical director is certainly not a low title and his station is irrelevant anyway because anyone who was senior enough apparently was in the room to witness phone calls coming from headquarters mandating that the death counter be put back up to “sustain engagement.” And as you say yourself, the fact that CNN is financially incentivized to do all of these things is common sense, so why are you denying that they happen?

And finally, you are dead weight on society. It’s also common sense that officers require a bribe and that people who speak up against vested interests fall out of windows. Every stage of societal breakdown is considered common sense by the people who are born into it and this attitude of shoulder shrugging is the reason why our institutions are disintegrating. If it is so normal for the media to brazenly lie, then why doesn’t the media in the Netherlands do it? Or Denmark? Or maybe it has something to do with the fact they they are in the top 3 least corrupt countries in the world, and don’t bend over for bullshit like you? Perhaps idiotic shoulder shrugging is not a good idea after all?

I have every confidence that the people picking contractors won't let a 10% stake owned by the federal government cloud their judgement.

If the stake was owned by any of the relevant institutions then that might play a role, since it could contribute in some way to the institution's budget perhaps.

But it's an interesting idea. If the government were to take a percentage in return for funding, there could be an explicit goal of getting out of the position with X times return in less than Y years. X might not have to be particularly large, the goal would only be to cover losses and inflation.

FYI this is canon in media science, and probably something every journalist learns at university.
In the interview format it is most certainly not possible. It is a dance where both sides pretend that the interviewee is going to invent, in ~30 minutes, under intense interview stress, on a whiteboard, some algorithm that took usually years of research to originally develop.

If that were even remotely possible, why isn't that person cranking out multiple novel algorithm research papers per day? They should be outpublishing Knuth, for sure.

So, no. The only road is to memorize extensively and practice acting skills on the delivery.
Maybe because it is ? As covid proves that universities are becoming expensive childcare it might actually break their business model. Remember Steve Jobs ? or Bill Gates ? or Elon Must ? Maybe these guys knew a thing or two about hiring the right people.
I think it is misguided to think all that is needed is to understand each other. Maybe that was the case for a while when everybody was well off, and all that was left to discuss was philosophical issues.

The real issue is that people actually want each other's stuff. It's like quarreling over a source of water - both parties need it to water their plants. It doesn't help to understand that the other side also wants to water their plants, because you still have to water YOUR plants.

At most you can sit together and work out a compromise. Simply understanding the other person's view point won't be sufficient.

I don't see it that way.

In the moment that you want to have multiple users working on the same Excel/Dataset and changing formulas/calculations/rules it is basically bespoke software. Well good luck changing stuff by each employee on their own.

Because there will be appointed one employee who will be making changes for that and as such "Excel" grows he will end up not working on whatever he was expert for but on maintaining that bespoke software.

I don't see low code platforms solving maintenance issue, they promise that you will be able to write code quicker and without developers.

When you get one of the employees working full time on updating and maintaining some low code, he becomes developer. Well you pay him the same salary and you don't have to shell out money for Java/.NET guy but you will pay for license on that platform. While you will be able to hire next Java/.NET dev, good luck finding that specific platform developers. Salesforce if probably going into good direction building their "consultants" base, where I don't see fundamental difference between "consultant" and "developer". Maybe you don't need consultant day in/ day out but they still charge like you would have them hired full time.

In the end I am biased because I am a dev and businnes risks I see are from different side than business people.

But as with Salesforce or any other CRM I see it as a huge lie as the system gets bigger and complex there is no running away from dedicated people doing maintanence. You just tie yourself to a proprietary tool where with Java/.NET you still tie yourself to an ecosystem but it is basically for free and you keep unbounded flexibility.
That's a pretty weak solution in my opinion. Mobile OSes and browsers use a model based on permissions. There's zero reason for a Discord "bot" to be able to send information to arbitrary endpoints without informing the user about them up front. Collecting ID and threatening to sue is a half assed response. Or more cynically ...

... how convenient. So sorry, but we need to restrict what you can do for your own protection. Where have I heard that one before?

"Privacy" isn't what needs to be understood here. "Don't run arbitrary code" is what applies; it applies everywhere whether you like it or not.

Oh, I'm all for ECC and checksumming and whatnot.

All I'm saying is that adding recovery info to archives is probably not ideal -- we can do it in a task or media specific way that works best for whatever context the data is in.

Redundancy in .RAR made perfect sense back when you were transporting data on floppies, and if the floppy was bad, it was a huge pain. These days we transport over the network and don't need to carry any redundant data at all. All we need is a checksum and to retransmit whatever didn't arrive correctly.
Eventually it will become illigal to have randomly generated data stored somewhere.

I didn't read the article as saying low code was going to replace programmers. Or maybe I just assumed it, because there is going to be an ever increasing need for programmers. Low code is a good way to off-load some of the tasks and spread the work out.
Started working on a JS version a few weeks ago [1]. Even with 20% of the features it’s already so useful we’re building systems with it. And not just config - model all the things!

Overrides and inheritance are a world of pain. Unification and commutative operations restore sanity to the actual work of coding with a domain representation language because WYSIWYG. And you get type safety for your domain model.

The project is still at the “Read the Source, Luke” stage so caveat emptor until we get a respectable release out.

These aren't the types of bikes meant by the one you're replying to, I think: these are basically mountain bikes with modifications for day to day road use.

But yes these citybikes were very popular in Europe.
> you're already using Workspace.

Right, but I was wondering if it is now free for @gmail.com users, would it also be free for us individual users using our own domain.

One big issue that's always existed with Gsuite/Workspace is that there's two types of usecases that are nothing alike. One is a company/school/nonprofit admins who want to manage all their employees/students. The other are people like me who literally have a single "user" and just use Gsuite to have gmail on their own domain. Unfortunately, most of the changes, features and UI really cater to the former. I've always hoped they'd make a special thing for people who don't care about any of that administration stuff and just want Gmail-on-custom-domain.
Our political system is dysfunctional. So even if some people realize problems with the rules, corporations and other entities will lobby so as to continue profiteering. In addition, US culture really values making money and forming profitable businesses, and people have been conditioned to view any attack on businesses as an attack on the "free market" (even though, e.g., patents are the opposite of free). So, if you talk about, for example, reforming patents, people talk about how you are ending innovative (read profitable) businesses.

That's a pretty judgmental view for the service. Try these for B:

- a mother with limited transport options

- a disabled person

- a covid isolating person, or generally a person not feeling well and not wanting to infect others

- someone with surprise visitors coming next day, trying to fit in shopping, organising the house, other tasks

- or simply people like me who make a choice between spending an hour a week doing grocery shopping, or spending that time with family. (Although I get an option for pickup rather than delivery so I'm going with that)
It's also interesting to check who owns a media outlet and what companies are its largest customers by placing ads. I find Russell Brand's YT Channel frankly speaking surprisingly illuminating on many subjects like deep state*, corona, environmentalism, data protection. According to him most of the largest news papers in the States are basically controlled by pharmaceutical companies. Guess who they will be catering to.
