Our house in Costa Rica was built with cinder blocks on a concrete pad. Very different from the wooden framing + drywall in my house in the US.

My house doesn’t have any heating but does have mini-split AC units in the bedroom that we usually run for 3 hours in the afternoon if someone is going to sleep in that room.

There is a concept of having a ceiling fan next to some windows at the top of the wall near the roof. The idea is to have the fan pull the hot air up and out that window, creating a nice draft. Usually you have this in the main living area. They have a name for this that escapes me at the moment.
Before you start any therapy you should try to understand yourself, by tracking yourself, as in the quantified self. You work at a FAANG so you could probably develop your own tools to do this. Track your mood, your sleep habits, exercise, activity, meals, caffeine intake, work productivity, social interactions, medications, etc. Then look and find insights into how these relate to your work attitude. This project might in itself give you motivation and who knows, maybe you can develop your own startup to build this as a product

I've known quite a few union members who were paid out of their unions' strike funds when they went on strike. This is not so cut and dried.

I've also known hundreds of people who love their unions, from a variety of industries and walks of life (health care, service industry, trades, heavy industry.)

This is also anecdotal, of course, but it doesn't seem right to make such broad claims with a veneer of fact or universality and then add that one little caveat, "anecdotal, I know"
At my workplace all code review comments must be classified as either "blocking", which is stuff like "this code will break the app for our users" or "this is insecure", or "non-blocking", which is stuff like "this method is hard to read and should be broken up" or "I think this variable could be named better". Non-blocking stuff is (really, truly) optional to address.

IMO this system works pretty well as a balance between "we want to make sure nothing catastrophically bad hits production" and "we don't need perfect code, just good-enough code". It does require that you have a general understanding on the team that the purpose of the code is to deliver value to your users, and does not have to be perfect to be valuable.

We did also at one point try a system with more granular classification where every comment had to be prefixed with one of a predefined list of things like "nit", "security", "performance", "comment", or "kudos", which was fine but I don't think really adds all that much relative to just "blocking / non-blocking".

It's hard to describe, but it isn't just about work or not being able to sit for 8 hours at a desk. It pervades the rest of your life; often, even things you want to be doing, you simply cannot get started on, because your brain is filled with distractions and you do not have the executive function to be able to stop it.

It is a syndrome rooted in physical causes, but one we don't yet fully understand.

The research is very clear though: our brains are simply different.

This is the right decision.

There needs to be a sharp division between personal time and other time (work, school, etc.) People need the right to express themselves freely without fear of retribution just because the offended disagree with the private speech. Of course there are complicating factors (you work for marketing and in your personal time talk bad about the company or colleague.)

It's none of a school's business what a student says on their own time, so long as it does not violate the law (insider trading, threats of actual physical violence, etc.)

> Interesting analysis. How do you see this 'pushing power' as it applies to hardware vs software features?

I think it depends on what the hardware and software is. One thing about pushing power is that it diminishes immensely if there are competitive alternatives. You can still have pushing power but probably not enough to push your overall industry. In Google Case while they have pushing power for Android via The Google Play store and playing Anti-trusty with manufacturers , they can’t pivot Android any way they want since if they go too off the rails there’s always Samsung to run to. And the same Vice Vera. The only way that either companies do so is by working together. If they were to remove the HJ at the same time , while not as powerful as Apple’s push, it might have worked. By on their own, they stand to lose. This is why Google’s pushing power is not as strong as Apples despite being the maker of Android. It’s fragmentation does not allow for any one manufacturer to guide the Mobile Industry as a whole, only in certain positions of power.

Mind you , Google has use It’s pushing power to keep its control on Android (hence the reason why Epic is suing them).

> I think Apple has to tread carefully if they want to continue imposing their crazy 30% revenue tax on app store sales. No company wants to pay a percentage fee (vs a flat fee) for a digital good that requires very little upkeep. With Steam i think the percentage goes down as the sales go up.

I don’t think there’s a way for Apple to keep the 30%. It will fall eventually. The question is what will Apple Lose as well. At the end of all this all I see is Various Stores with Timed exclusivity agreements, and the loss of user privacy to third party developers (I will be surprised if any of these Store try to go toe to toe with Apple of Privacy Policy. I’m willing to bet one of their pitches to Devs will be that they will not require privacy nutrition labels and other stuff that mess with user data collection if they can help it. Apple should have allowed Third Party Stores but downloadable via the App Store and with the requirement to adhere to the same privacy requirements and reporting.
The research doesn't show that it "scales" with legalization, it shows that quasi-legalization results in more increases in traffic than full prohibition. That's not surprising.
>Apps that I need or like would stop developing for the main store and start demanding people sideload or install another App Store

Genuinely curious as I have no idea: Has this happened on Android? What are some examples?
A quick breakdown from my recent experience hiring for 5 software developer positions.

Entry Level Engineers - Easy to find but expensive to train

Mid level engineers - Difficult to find but minimal training required

Senior engineers - Extremely difficult to hire almost no training required

For a software team to be successful you need at minimum a strong mid level to keep everyone moving in the right direction but it's preferable to have a senior level engineer.

I'd recommend everyone heavily invest in growing the people they have instead of playing the 'lets hire a senior lottery'.
Yeah, I just mentioned exactly that.
How about "Hard work is not sufficient or necessary for success"

You can work hard and never be successful. You can be successful by pure chance or luck without ever putting in any real effort.

It's easy to frame it as "those people just want an excuse for why they don't work hard", but that's asinine.

The truth is that some of the hardest workers on the planet (anecdotes of single mothers working three jobs to provide for their family come to mind) are living below the poverty line and there is no amount of harder work that would fix that.

Hard Work and Success have some correlation sure. It's tenuous at best.
> That's a natural result of favoring short term goals over long term investment

It’s extremely hard to justify investing in junior engineers when the trend in our industry is to jump between jobs every 1-3 years. What’s the point of hiring and training/mentoring anyone if the industry average tenure is less than, say, 5 years?

I think calling it artificial is going a bit too far.

At least from my perspective, our entire industry is relatively new (if you look purely at the average / median years of experience in out industry).

5-7 years is often considered “senior”, while in other industries it can take 10-15+ years to really be considered “senior” in your role.

It’s not surprising that many companies want “senior” level experience since “senior” really just means “not a beginner” at many companies. And not surprising that companies are reluctant to hire junior devs when jumping between jobs is so commonplace.
I think it's been well established that a low IQ White child from affluent/high class parents will out-achieve a high IQ Minority Child from poor/low class parents on average and that this is basically universal across racial groups. So I don't think your conclusion is relevant.
That's a good point... You might be able to work around that using a template function factory e.g. `make_foobar<ChildrenFooBar>()`. I'm not sure what's a good pattern here, I don't write much C++.
I suppose myperspective of what constitutes laws/theories is skewed after working in science/biotech. I'll let you have the last word, have a nice day.

Github has all the incentives and infrastructure in place to build all the layers on top of the repositories and existing social network. Ive seen a bunch of companies launch with competing project boards, ci systems, etc but its not clear how you carve out a space for yourself from within a set of reasonable defaults.

unsafePerformIO was there to make the indeterminate evaluation order visible, but isn't what causes that indeterminate evaluation order. You are right, though, that for 'safe' Haskell code the evaluation order shouldn't matter, although it is sort of a matter of convention; 'head' is unsafe, but is presumably now permanently stuck in the language, while on the other hand perhaps one could write C++ without exceptions, but that wouldn't be 'normal' C++ code.
I think people not confined to a wheelchair have more options for physical training. You could say that's an unfair advantage to people actually requiring the chair.

This has to do with the history of the classification. At one point, there was Application Developer and System Developer as two classifications.

There was also a distinction at one time between what amounted to "people who wrote code" and "people who designed software". The writing code was the 'lower' of the two and the 'design' description included overseeing the other classification.

You can see this by poking at the Wayback for this page:

* 2012 - Programmers & Developers ( http://web.archive.org/web/20120416044322/https://www.bls.go... ) (and a catch all "Web Developers" with a bunch of other stuff - maybe a holdover from the webmaster?)

* 2014 - Programmers & Developers & Web Developers ( http://web.archive.org/web/20140627205116/http://www.bls.gov... )

* 2021 - Programmers, Developers, & Web Developers and Digital Designers - http://web.archive.org/web/20210331093730/https://www.bls.go...

Another way of looking at this is https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_stru.htm#15-0000 and the history of that page (which goes back even further).

Back in '07 ( http://web.archive.org/web/20070111041207/https://www.bls.go... ), there were Computer Programmers; Computer Software Engineers, Applications; and Computer Software Engineers, Systems Software.

So, it really is a change of "this is how businesses and government see the "Computer and Mathematical Science Occupations". Lumping it all together isn't necessarily the right answer. The titles that we've got that don't actually map to what we do doesn't help.

Well this was a bit of shoddy history of science that was aggressively waved in my face by a writer who very eager to get to the sequel, whose title one may suspect will contain the words "I", "genius" and little else...

I mean, one of the things Newton famously wrote was "if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." which isn't entirely in the spirt of the long genius myth.

And if Galileo is allowed into the genius pantheon, what to do with the little episode where he convinced the contemporary world that comets were actually just clouds...
Nice project! How was your experience using CRDTs? I often see the criticism thrown around that the history might become enormous even with regular usage. I'm curious what you have to say!
Well seeing as how the biggest failing schools are in large metros this argument doesn’t hold much does it?

One of the biggest school system is in NYC and the average student graduating high school is reading at a 10 year old level or less.

One could also imagine some sort of large vehicle whose sole purpose is to provide rides for students to attend the schools.

Let me see if I can do some more research on such a scheme. Perhaps, one could paint them a vivid color, so that people could know they are “educational vehicles”. Maybe yellow? I think I’ve seen such a system before…

Lastly, right now you’re saying:

“Born in the wrong zip? And the school is failing? Sucks to be you! Not my problem”

Or what am I missing? At least provide the opportunity for someone rather than force them to a particular outcome

My experience has been that many, many untested juniors, whether they come from a 4-year CS program or a bootcamp, simply can't take a simple problem, break it down, and solve it with code on their own.

I completely understand hiring managers that limit themselves to looking at devs with 3+ years of experience, because it tends to filter out folks that just can't do the basics of the job despite their credentials.

Personally, I do like to hire juniors and help them grow their skills and their careers, but I need to see at least basic coding skills and a problem-solving mindset up front to make it worth the risk and the investment of time.

I think the complicating factor is probably the process to get any modifications approved through the Broadcom NDAs... which is not the best excuse, but it is probably slightly more involved than "one person takes 10 minutes to make the update."

There are certain things that are very well/thoroughly documented by the Pi Foundation, though, and I wish the Pi itself could be more proactive in maintaining docs for everything (like the Pi 4 modification). This problem is not exclusive to the Pi Foundation, though I think based on the fact that many things they produce are marketed/written well makes people hold them to a higher standard.

Well, I guess we agree then.

Before we got the chickens we told both neighbors and assured them that if they ever felt bothered by them they should say so and we would look for a solution. Certainly if one would turn out to be a rooster we would take action. So far they never make sounds and they just roam around our (100 m2) garden, on the grass all day. Neighbors with cats act annoyed when you talk to them about their cats roaming the gardens. Because cats are normal.

I feel for you regarding the dog situation. honestly if you would ask me, an apartment complex is no place for a big dog. We held off on taking a dog because there is no place for it to run in the immediate area. But indeed it probably wouldn't be a problem if your neighbors acted responsibly, and that is where indeed all problems originate.

Yup! They assume today’s bad situation and apply it backwards, when in fact as time progresses, things have gotten worse not better.
This article is attacking a strawman. Newton, Einstein, Ramanujan, etc. were geniuses. It is not controversial to say that. They did not work in complete isolation, and were in regular contact with the scientific community at that time. Acknowledging that even the "lone geniuses" did not work in complete isolation does not detract from their extraordinary contributions. Even lone geniuses have to communicate their ideas to a community of people capable of understanding them, using language and analogies to make their novel ideas understood and adopted. I am sure there are many lone geniuses that we don't know about because they were unable to effectively communicate their ideas to the right audience.

Throughout history there have been many examples of people who want the glow of being a "lone genius" to join the ranks of Einstein and Newton. In order to accomplish this they have downplayed the work of others. It is easier and more compelling for journalists and screenwriters to run with the lone genius story, because it makes the narrative less complicated. I appreciate that we examine a more complete picture of what it takes to accomplish extraordinary goals, whether it's a solitary or team effort.
This is awesome! My only request is to polish it just a bit more when you add it to the home screen. I’d love for this to feel like a native app.

Nominally:

- The default title when adding to the Home Screen is “React App”.

- The icon could be better by choosing something in 1:1 aspect ratio. Maybe just the click wheel?

- When opened from the home screen it correctly loads without displaying the browsers nav bar, but the dimensions are slightly skewed so it doesn’t fill the screen.
Without code review a compromised workstation can push malicious code that will make it to production and compromise all user data with little chance of being noticed.

Openlayers: open source mapping library that’s more capable (e.g many different protections) but also more complex. Can render to Canvas or SVG.

Openstreetmap: public and free source of mapping data. Mapbox uses this as a default data source.

MapboxGL: completely new implementation of a mapping library written in WebGL (should perform better). MapboxGL changed its license recently, prompting the creation of the libremap fork.
