If you think that writing to multiple rendering environments in multiple versions, while coping with hundreds of combinations of assistive technologies, performance considerations, SEO requirements, and frontend security isn’t engineering then you’ve got a way to go.

If you want to have an argument that none of this is engineering but development then I’m more on your side.

No offense, but that depends on the quality of minds. What you've just said is exactly what Q-Anon proponents say, just before they go on to repeat absolutely baseless conspiracy theories they heard about on YouTube.

The term "tech" has become a meaningless now. 99% of the time, people really mean software.

But yes, this is software-centric. There are lots of other engineering disciplines that operate differently.

I think you are underestimating the severity of climate change. The climate science models are likely too cautious in general with the exception of considering a technological breakthrough to save us.

I find it curious that many comments echo similar denials. I never understand what the point is in arguing with science results unless you are working in the field yourself. It is as if mathematicians would see a barrage of comments telling them their proofs are obviously wrong.

> ie, Campaign for nuclear power. Eat less meat, Adjust your thermostat, Change your tires, Buy an electric car, Buy better bulbs, Plant trees with friends.

Nuclear has no chance to compete with today's renewables which are on aggressive downward trajectories in price and aren't restricted by long planning cycles.

The missing things in your lists are a general reduction in consumption, a reduction in home size, a reduction in travel.
Totally agree with this one. And DoreenMichele I think you can totally do it, I love your writing and always notice your comments!
I am aware of the ethics of my choices, and they are not always good, particularly eating meat. Where I live, fossil fuels still make most of the electricity anyway, and while electric vehicles allow for taking advantage of a cleaner grid, we’re not there yet.

Further, when saying ‘created,’ I am talking more about a market effect on a larger section of the population.
Yes, if she's giving her patients bad medical advice that goes contrary to accepted best practices then she should be asked to stop or find work elsewhere. And if she's standing in the hallway doing the same with people who aren't her patients she could probably be safely fired for being a nuisance. There are appropriate public forums for disagreement and in the hallway of your hospital is probably not it.
Yeah, especially when you actually become an engineering manager, the first problem you run into is how to deal with information overload.

It'd be better to recommend one or two books.
> If YouTube decides that all discussion of the coronavirus in any form - truthful or otherwise - is bad for their ad revenue, they are within their rights to shut all of it down,

Sure, but it's not ALL conversations they are shutting down. Adn then it's a simple observation that if they are doing it for their ad revenue, then advertising companies are the ones deciding this. So then advertisers are the ones effectively allowing and disallowing the medical advise. I don't see that as ethical.

Again, if they come up with "universal" rules like "no discussion of this whatsoever", I would agree, but it is obviously clear there are right and wrong discussions based on what a corporation and/or their advertisers deem fit. This means they are indeed trying to advise the public with what medical actions to take, and people are not "going to another platform" for this.

Since one of the article's protagonists leveraged the Evangelical church's influence: "...people are left with little choice but to flee their homeland, resorting to crime and violence".

I wonder if it is not the other way around. That the lack of specific religious foundational values causes crime.

> In general, if all you use your vehicle for are little trips around the area of a major city, then yeah you can make it work. If you actually use your vehicle as a vehicle, it still doesn't remotely make sense.

You had some pretty good points until this dismissive part. Believe it or not, but there are millions of people who don't ever need or want to travel more than 100 miles both ways. And don't really need a truck either.

Just because your use case isn't the same as theirs, you don't get to decide whether what they have is a "vehicle" or not.
60 kilometers per hour, the posted speed limit. Look both ways, then gradually accelerate, but at a slightly faster rate than the most.

> Microsoft learned next to nothing from the browser wars lawsuit.

That's been true since the very beginning.

I very nearly filed papers to oppose class council in one of the state lawsuits on the basis that the proposed settlement was calculated to create a new antitrust injury to the class.

But I didn't because I was young and pro se and there was no way for me to afford or find representation. If I had to do it again I would've filed pro se requesting that they reject the settlement on that basis and appoint a guardian ad litem to roll the dice anyway.
This guy pissed off some people and those people are using their petty power to make his life hell.

And "pissed off" in this case means behaving perfectly normally, legally and how we all hope a person would behave.
You didn't address the substantive part of my comment. Straightforwardly under the regime you've described, individuals are not only prevented from, but can be actively punished for:

1. Using mathematical formulas to demonstrate facts, such as pointing out that speed can be calculated by distance over time.

2. Pointing out how a red light camera fails to meet required implementation details.

3. Pointing out how a bridge is unsafe.

4. Pointing out that an expert witness is glaringly wrong.

5. Comment on the details of a public proposal.

Nutt's case is analogous to 3. Nutt did not design the stormwater system. He is critiquing it for a poor design. In an open society, that is everyone's right. The court can choose to find his reasoning lacking or simply non-understandable, but he shouldn't then be getting attacked for having spoken his opinion.

Errors and disagreements are common in engineering, as in any art, and so any honest engineer should be worried about criminalizing debate. Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

Licensure boards can be notoriously aggressive, which is why this case is getting attention. Furthermore, state-chartered entities are commonly over scoped because they're really just extensions of the state executive, with only court cases to push back on them. Your argument from status quo is uncompelling.

I'm actually curious about this. I imagine that we're not at that point, and for now electric motors are probably placed somewhere close to the axles, but soon I guess we'll have true 4-wheel drive?

It's not as if you're obligated to buy their products, therefore need to find a less expensive workaround. If you don't like the people producing them and think they're overpriced, play dwarf fortress or watch TV. There are some obviously valid reasons for pirating, but I don't understand this sense of entitlement.
Pirating Adobe tools = training people in their usage. Their job will then pay for Adobe, as they already know it. If you want to hurt Adobe, advocate not pirating them and point users to alternatives
Less people, about 7 billion less people.

If we had 7 billion less people everything would be fine.

Since humans have no natural predator our reproduction is uncontrolled. Any time a species can reproduce at will with no control bad things happen to their environment, bad things which ultimately will correct the uncontrolled population growth. Humans inhabited the entire planet and our uncontrolled population growth impacts the entire planet, which is why the climate of the entire planet is impacted.

What's happening with the environment is EXACTLY what should be happening with the planet as a response to humans uncontrolled population growth. The unfortunate side effect is that we are going to take down a lot of other species with us.
That's quite the straw man you've built there.

Nobody is talking about forcing the high achievers to do the teacher's job. The question is how we allocate the fixed amount of educational resources we have. You want us to choose the high achievers so that these early winners can turn that lead into even greater success later. Unstated in your post is what happens to those low achieving students. But it's pretty easy to assume that they're going to be the losers in the winner take all economy.

The other option is to help the low achieving students so that more of them can participate in that winner take all economy. I'm not sure how to argue that this latter option is preferable since it seems so obvious to me that it's the right choice to make.

Yes it is great that Peter gives his time here but don't imagine this is for charity. Being on a forum like this (with hundreds of potential clients) is a great way to grow his business.

I had the misfortune of using a bad immigration lawyer (along with a group of colleagues) to do a company sponsored Green Card application. The lawyer wasted 2 years through incorrect paperwork and poor communication before we fired them and restarted from scratch with different (and great) lawyer. When you are working on a 6 year H1B visa the clock is constantly ticking to get Green Card paperwork correctly filed and through the system.

I have no comment on Peter's professional abilities or how he runs his company, but calling someone who had a bad experience an a*hole is very harsh. The poster took the time to issue a warning based on their personal experience, immigration issues can totally derail someones life so having the right lawyer is critical.
It was unwatchable because it relied on you having read the book to know what was going on. I would usually recommend reading the book and skipping the movie.

I randomly clicked on a bunch of links and read them. To be honest, it scares me a bit, since it matches the description and behaviors of engineering managers I had bad experience with and would avoid if possible.

The best characteristic for a good manager is that they care. This list to me highlights a path for "how to be a bad manager". I hope people don't follow this.
Well he did express a desire to return to traditional manliness, and you can't get more traditional than ancient Greece, right?

I think it's great that he managed to positively channel his masculinity, but I have my doubts at considering getting punched in the back of the head a good or acceptable thing, even though it may have had a positive outcome in his case. Perhaps I'm too feminized.

That's my opinion too. Excise taxes on gas cars are better than carbon taxes applied to gasoline and diesel. Because what you want is people to stop buying gas cars, not revenue.

Bonus can use the excise tax revenue to fund buyback and down payment assistance programs. Helping someone replace their older gas car with a new(er) electric also results on a lot less political blow back than raising the gas tax.
Hey Peter, I have an approved I-140 with an old employer. I am switching jobs to a new employer. If my priority date becomes current, could I switch back to an old employer, and get a green card?
Well, all the data we have is from outside the U.S. so I guess U.S. doctors in-the-know are trying to discuss it but getting shut down on U.S.-based social media.
Optimizations don't really matter here. Optimization can't cause non-conforming code to be emitted (for a non-buggy compiler). A non-optimizing compiler could emit exactly the same code. If they don't, that's just inefficient code gen by the non-optimizing compiler.

As a sibling to you noted, Ice Lake has bumped this from 48 bits to 57 bits to support 5-level paging [1]. So the "in practice" appears to already by out of date. This was known publicly as early as 2017 (albeit this is the first I've heard of it).

That being said, I don't know why the increase from 256TB to 128PB is at all useful but it's enabled in my Arch Linux kernel on a 32GB laptop, so clearly adopted by the broader ecosystem even outside whatever niche use-case it's for.

That being said, the kernel maintains backward compatability by restricting the allocation address space it hands out by default. Userspace needs to explicitly ask for the higher bits [2], so it's probably OK to just continue as-is assuming the 48-bit limit in practice.

The requirement to have a license for these types of fields is reasonable.

What tends to happen, however, is that the requirements to acquire a license grow beyond basic health and safety to include a ton of formal education. This is probably due in part to the fact that practitioners are well represented among the people designing the licensing requirements, and they have a vested interest in erecting and maintaining barriers to new entrants.

For example, it typically takes 1,500 hours of instruction to become licensed to cut peoples hair in exchange for money. That amount of training might be reasonable for someone working with potentially harmful chemicals, but on the other hand I can give someone a pretty decent buzzcut and have approximately zero hours of training (but would still face civil penalties if I were to open Frankus' Buzzcut Studio).

It's also worth noting that licensing doesn't necessarily have to be enforced by the state, (although I agree that basic knowledge of the health and safety aspects of an occupation is probably a reasonable requirement to be state-enforced).

You could have a private credentialing agency that certifies practitioners who have completed additional study or exams, or have a certain minimum amount of experience (something along the lines of Microsoft's MCSE credential, but for, say, applying makeup).

Most of the companies that are claimed to be the biggest polluters are energy providers. This is energy that is ultimately used to produce meat, drive cars and cool our houses. Consumers can either consume less or they can pay more for low/no carbon goods, which has the side effect of lowering consumption.
Ivermectin is a cheap drug, Mercer (who produces ivermectin) is trying to produce their own covid19 drug.

Further, if there are viable alternative treatments we shouldn’t be using a vaccine still in phase 2/3 trials that haven’t even been tested on animals... the entire emergency use authorization is only allowed if there aren’t safe alternatives.

Ivermectin is generally safe to take, and a known drug with known risks. If it was shown to be effective the vaccine rollouts should be stopped. So, there’s a lot of political and financial reasons to not publicize it.

One molecule of methane is worse than one molecule of CO2. But there is more CO2 than there is methane, so the total 'warming' by CO2 is worse.
Put another way this is focused on project management and software architecture. It’s a good list for a tech lead or architect but is no where near complete for a people manager.

There are many other areas a good manager should cover:

- hiring & internal talent pipelines
- career progression - mentoring, coaching, 1 on 1s
- performance management - promotions and firing
- budgeting and other finance areas
- if required vendor management, purchasing, dealing with legal etc
- cross team / org collaboration; working with your peers (other managers and leaders)
- managing upwards - reporting status, flagging risks and blockers and asking for help/time, advocating for the team and projects etc
- providing clear direction for the team while balancing that with shielding them from crap so they can focus
- for services - Service Ownership, Cost to Serve, On call, Security and Compliance, Legal liaison for open source use, post mortem retro’s etc
- general admin; vacation scheduling, expenses, it escalations, tracking mandatory training etc
- product management and long term view - either owning it, working with an agile product owner within the team, or working with product management org
- anything else that would fall through the cracks otherwise to keep team on track - “servant leadership”

This is just off the top of my head as a former manager and manager of managers.
Depending on your org and methodologies there may be others who own lots or the above, either within the team or elsewhere. As the manager though the buck still stops with you.
