Agreed, as an object for geeks sensor quantity is critical. Barometers in waterproof devices are tricky, and a heart rate sensor is still an exotic manufacturing challenge, not an off the shelf product. And I don't personally need a touchscreen, I think app development for the form factor is far easier without the temptation of impossible touch targets and cryptic gestures. But the critical sensor to me is GPS, without that it and the PineTime are useless to me.

The only sensor on this is the Bosch BMA423 3-axis accelerometer. Unfortunately, that has no gyro or magnetometer, which makes it a bit of an odd choice. It's supply constrained, and has an EOL date of Sept 2021 to boot. The other sensor is a DS3231MZ low-power highly-integrated real-time clock. It's also out of stock, and has a 42 week manufacturer lead time.

I've got some experience developing embedded hardware, but the watch form factor is really hard to hack after the fact. It's not particularly friendly to expansion busses and add-on cards...

This largely misses the mark. Kaggle is a machine learning competition platform for a small set of exceptional machine learning talent, and a lot of students or hangers-on.

"Machine learning projects – if ML is being attempted at all – are in early stages, using traditional methods that are best-suited for high-RAM CPU rather than GPU SKUs (ex: scikit-learn and clustering approaches)."

The idea that the machine learning being done there is in "early stages" is laughable, given the prize pools and sheer competitiveness usually move well past existing SOTA--usually moving forward benchmarks on Google's image classification and labeling (!) benchmarks and other areas where enormous teams can't match the top few.

Part of what you're seeing is the mass of survey participants, who show up to fork notebooks and fake ML skills, are the people who haven't exactly established themselves in the field (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Survivorship-bias....), while the top-end is too small a group to fully characterize with low-powered clustering.

Even five years ago, most real-world MLEs knew how to use AWS, were deploying actual machine learning models (granted, more primitive than today's methods), and I'm wouldn't be so glib about calling anything "early stage" even then given the raw business value it provides.
> gravitational dynamics are time-reversible, so if gravity could capture you like this you could also start in orbit around a planet and spontaneously be ejected.

I don't have a strong background in physics, and perhaps this is splitting hairs, but is this true if we consider gravitational radiation? Over a very long time a body's orbital energy will be lost to gravitational waves.
I have had bunions my entire life, and only I was recently told that the foundations for them start appearing as a kid, depending on the width of the feet.

I discovered that I had wide feet out of the blue, searching for an specific brand that usually didn't hurt me. That brand was the only one I could use for hours, and then I saw that they made "wide shoes".

Could that be the reason they didn't hurt me?

From that moment on, I only buy wide or extra wide, and, surprisingly enough, my feet don't but hurt anymore.

In hindsight, I should have thought about before, it as during summer I only wear sandals, and of course my feet don't hurt. I am ashamed to say it didn't click until my 30's.

I now exercise my fingers, one of my bunions is getting better, the other will need more work.

In my country you are only measured by length, so I guess that's the main reason for the bunions and hammer fingers appearing more and more.

Please, if you are uncomfortable with your shoes, go to be properly measured. Your feet will appreciate it.
Apparently it works though. Since both examples are described as "industry leads".
Where: Stockton, California

Who: 125 people at or below median income

When: Starting in feb 2019 lasting 24 months

How much: $500/mo

How was it spent: 40% was transferred or cashed out; self reported data shows it was spent on food, clothes, car repairs, and other basics. (Less than 1% went to alcohol or cigarettes).

Not guaranteed for life. Just 24 months ($12,000) in a city with a very high violent crime rate and poverty rate. I think if they keep following these families they will find that they were working harder in an attempt to save money with the goal of leaving the city.
I always thought they were saying, “Sell the car for scrap, take the money you would’ve spent on the repair and buy another (functioning) car for 600€ cash“.

I don’t think they’re saying “get a new car with a monthly loan.”

Never ever understand this angle. Don't let a government put their toe in the business even when it's utterly unfair to the customer, the environment. Why not?

My country (Canada) is intent on making up for falling birth rates by increasing immigration. Sometimes I wonder if it is unethical for a rich country like Canada to effectively outsource (offload?) child rearing costs and to some extent education costs to the poorer countries that we are taking immigrants from.

It's worth remembering that there is a substantial gray area about the extent to which the ADA applies to websites, even government ones. If WebAIM is finding violations with WCAG 2.1, there's even less of a legal basis. Much of the legal thinking is based on reading between the lines of DOJ letters and wildly different state/federal lawsuit rulings.

The question isn't whether they're perfect, nor is it whether they prevent anything. But it does help a person who suspects something is up rule certain things in and out, which increases the chances that the weak link can be found and eliminated.

If you have a fair suspicion that something is up and you discover that when you compile reproduceable-package you get a different output than when you download a prebuilt reproduceable-package, you've now got something to work with.

Declining birth rate was already an issue in large cities during antiquity.

I even suspect that the pro-family policies we can observe in the religions that were created afterwards were a tentative to fix this problem.

In my opinion, our species population is big enough already, and this is the main driving factor of ongoing ecological problems.

There are varying degrees of means testing and wealth transfers happening with Social Security, seen when the government changes the age one starts receiving benefits and the amount of the benefit (and which cost of living adjustment to use). It is not a cut and dry case of social welfare, but it is also not a “what you get is what you put in” program either. I think it will only become more and more means tested and more akin to a social welfare program though.

Medicare requires having paid into it for at least 10 years, and I believe there is some convoluted means testing going on with all the different “Parts” of Medicare and how much one’s premiums and benefits are.

Social security is similar, see my other comment.
Your example is intentionally and extremely contrived in such a way so as to support your point, and not representative of the real world at all. For instance, if you suddenly ls -l and then want to sort by size instead (yes, I'm aware of -S, and it's irrelevant), then suddenly you have to use far more than just a pipe character. Moreover, the psuedocode is absolutely ridiculous - a more accurate example would be a single function call to list items in a directory, and then another call to sort() with a lambda to pull out the correct field to sort on. In Common Lisp:

(sort (ls) :key (lambda (entry) (size entry)))

Compare that to your psuedocode snippet.

> It's true that it doesn't do everything you want.

My point was that it doesn't do anything. It's like function composition in any modern programming language - it's so incredibly trivial that nobody mentions it, because it's both necessary for most operations but also completely insufficient for doing those operations on its own. It's not "glue" in the same way that function composition is not "glue" - it doesn't do any more connection than just enabling things to theoretically exchange data in some way.

> But it's truly glue.

Maybe according to your own definition, but certainly not in the way that the article (and I) use it, which is "the unglamorous, invisible code that connects two pieces of software, makes sure that data that's in location A reaches location B unscathed (from the datbase to the UI, from the UI to the model, from the model to the backend and so on...)" ...which clearly means that the data is actually transformed into a format that the receiving code can read - which pipe does not do.

> I don't think you can call it foolish and be taken seriously.

If someone doesn't take me seriously (after I make my point, of course), then that's an indication that their own mind has been blinded by a zealotry for the Unix style, not that my point is invalid.

> it was neither the first nor the last system to transfer unstructured data and rely on external programs to interpret them

...which doesn't matter, because it was still a design decision that the Unix architects made, and one of the ones for which Unix is best-known for.

> It seems to have paid off too - systems descended from this design are widespread.

The idea that popularity implies a good system design is a pretty well-known fallacy. Look at PHP - nearly universally acknowledged to be awfully-designed, and yet extremely popular. Windows, JavaScript, Java, and more - all popular, all poorly-designed.

> You might not like paying the tradeoff, but a lot of people find it productive.

You can say the same about dynamically-typed programming languages, and weakly-typed programming languages, and even untyped programming languages (Tcl, where everything is a string) - an illusion of productiveness, where you spend much more time down the line debugging mistakes caused by the flaws in your methodology.

For sure. I'm still trying to understand it too. Two things that have helped me:

To contain time pressure, I like a kanban board with small units of work. If the team has a history of steady delivery of small lumps of useful stuff, managers are more willing to trust that we know what we're doing.

To mitigate the natural human lack of humility, I start with the rule that every bug requires a test before fixing. People may act as if they won't make mistakes, but it's much harder to claim that when we have a live bug. And then I like to introduce pair programming. Collaboratively adding failing tests and fixing them (as with ping-pong pairing) makes it fun.

What approaches do you use to shift things over?
You hit the nail on the head. Big tech pays more as a form to supress competition.
With high wages, it's easier for someone to lose motivation and not pursue their idea. which would increase to competition at the lower level. but as we know, the lower level competitors gather up, and not long after gather enough momentum to attack the big guys.
the other way, big tech supresses innovation is by brain-washing or propaganda. look at all the companies formed by former faang engineers. majority of them go for vc-funding, use complicated tools at the onset. not because it's a need but because that's what they're used to. what would've been a simple frontend is now a monorepo monster, a simple backend a mesh of microservices.
lastly, big tech supresses competition by open sourcing tools that are technically excellent but not needed by 90% of the companies out there. instead of companies innovating the companies are now chasing the platform i.e trying to keep up with the tools released by big tech. this is a microsoft playbook.
and to ya other point, for the second sector - compensation can easily go up if engineers stop fucking around and start producing. if you're actually producing and the owner sees you as important, unless a foolish owner they will give you a piece of the pie.
If advertising had no role in influencing people, then companies wouldn't spend fortunes on it.
When a company grow bigger, it was have this issue? This is a management problem. The bigger they grown, the more cost for management. Really prefer the Google structure that you have alphabet to manage each product individually. However, Google is too big to be split now. The brand is more valuable compared to the parent company.

Looks like Amazon try to do the same thing as Huawei does. 10% refreshment of Human resources particular on 40+ employees. 30% looks is really crazy, it is hard on development team, which will dramatically affect the code quality.
It's a little more complicated than that: not all religious groups consider all forms of birth control to be sinful, and these trends don't apply in all countries. Increased religiosity won't necessarily increase the birth rate.

It's one of those things that I still tilt my head slightly at when thinking about how the human brain struggles with really large numbers. Its just an odd thing.
You're obviously right. I started going to therapy and it helps (and I've stopped) but it still hurts.
Ex-Amazon here: indeed the level of skills, management, code quality and so on changes a lot across teams.

Unfortunately people outside of Amazon make sweeping generalizations about the company.
Well, your memory is also more fungible than you think. Photographs at least capture a realistic portrayal of what the lens saw. Your mind adds and removes features without your knowledge.
Hopefully yes. I was being conservative with my suggestions.
Exactly, big company works for Wall street not for their founder, employees and small investors.
I'm sure all of this will get fixed, it was obviously rushed like the vaccine, mask policy, lockdown, and everything else. In a couple of years they'll fix it, just like Healthcare.gov.

Google and Intel's solutions are just as proprietary, with the downside almost nobody uses them so bugs, performance, supported tooling, community, and support windows are often much worse. It's not even clear their solutions actually offer better performance in general, given this. (And if you think proprietary Nvidia software packages are infuriating messes, wait until you try Intel proprietary software.) How you feel about their history of Linux support all that said is basically irrelevant, and they'll continue to dominate because of it.

> Complaining about burnout long before you burn out?

One issue that many of us face in OSS is that it's a side project. If a developer is burnt out by their day job, or some other aspect of life, then their tolerance for pushy maintaners drops to zero even if they still occasionally unwind by working on the project.
