I just quit using Julia language and am switching to Wolfram language.

Well, I still might use Julia personally in the future, but my days of contributing to the community are over.

The julia community is thankless, and the people at Julia computing are mean spirited and they think it's acceptable to harm people having good intentions (like me), having contributed thousands of hours of free time to help people on their forum and releasing my own packages used by thousands of people.

Julia Computing just raised a bunch of money, but they are just pocketing it for themselves while they stomp their foot on people they perceive as unworthy.

Yea, it's a good language, but the people behind it are very selfish and harmful to the free software community.

> Salary and Years of Experience

> Based on the May 2017 salary information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), orderlies make a median wage of $13.07 an hour or $27,180 a year. Half of orderlies receive more, and half make less. The lowest-paid 10 percent make less than $9.73 an hour or $20,240 a year, while the highest-earning 10 percent get over $19.52 an hour or $40,610 a year. Orderlies employed in psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals are paid the highest average wage of $17.21 an hour or $35,800 a year. Nursing care facilities pay one of the lowest average wages of $12.00 an hour or $24,950 a year.

> Wages often start out low for entry-level orderlies and grow with experience. Some orderlies complete additional training and state requirements to advance to higher paid nursing assistant or registered nursing roles. In July 2018, PayScale.com showed this hourly pay progression by experience for nurse aides, orderlies and attendants:

> 0 to 5 years: $8.19 - $15.24

> 5 to 10 years: $8.28 - $15.83

> 10 to 20 years: $8.84 - $17.16

It's funny but this is how I got through Physics in college. My math skills weren't up to snuff, but the professor's questions were all real world word problems. I recall very vividly the moment where I figured out how I could pass the course. It was during the first exam, and the question was about the volume of a car engine. The answers were all different in magnitude. I am no car buff, but I know what the "5.0" in a "Mustang 5.0" used to mean. So I knew which answer was ballpark the volume of a car engine, the one that was ~2 liters. The others were obviously too small, such as 0.3 liters, or obviously too large 60 liters. Everything else was similar. I only had to know roughly the magnitude of most of the problems, and actually be able to do the math on some of the rest, in order to pass.

I would not want to live or work or even pass through a community who thought this was a good way to teach children generally. Any industry of theirs beyond a wooden lean-to would be dangerous if not outright deadly.

This is a great thought experiment, thank you. I'm not totally clear how the machines could work without actually taking a measurement, though. It sounds like you're saying the 2nd machine (P = 0.5) takes measurements (and therefore "paints" the balls), but the other two don't?

I've heard of the apocryphal "half-silvered mirror", but I don't get why reflection isn't an observation/interaction there either.
As a tipped employee, I can tell you this is not exactly the real reason. There are at least two more important:
- Historically (less so now), tips are a tax dodge - they often aren't reported, or greatly under-reported.
- Tips are less egalitarian than wages would be. Nominally, front of house and back of house have similar wages, but front of house gets far more tips. Even in the normal shared-tip-pool model this is true.

Changing this would mean making explicit and obvious things that were previously implicit and looked past: Front-of-house would need/want/demand a far higher hourly wage than what the back-of-house workers would/cloud, and everybody would have to report ALL their income for taxes.

There is also the problem that unprofessional service staff might not try as hard to please the customers, though maybe those get filtered out over time.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, but this is an observation I've had as well, working in the industry.

What we're seeing in healthcare costs is analogous to what you might see happen to airline ticket costs if we all got our air tickets through our employers: the vast majority of us would fly business class, while the unemployed would be simply unable to pay for business class fares out of pocket. Employers (especially medium-to-large businesses) have a much higher purchasing power (and hence, willingness to pay) than individuals.

If you take this behavior and combine it with the fact that health insurers' profit margins are capped by law, insurers pay more absolute dollars for treatments (which doctors happily accept), charge more to employers (who are generally less price conscious vs individuals), thus bring in more absolute revenue, and therefore more profit because a capped profit percentage of a higher revenue is higher than a capped percentage of lower revenue. It's somewhat counter-intuitive, but the policy combination of an employer mandate and insurance profit cap results in the mother of all local optima.
That was mentioned elsewhere and I agree that is a legit use case. But why would you use a web browser to get there, and not the built in client in your OS or one of many other client choices?

Your reasoning, that "Continuing to support $x means continuing to defend attack surface that's implemented as $y year-old code, to deliver a feature that in $z the majority of people do not use," would ultimately consign every feature on the web to the book-burners' flames, except for the worthless minority of features that the majority of people do use.

I can't articulate the details, down to the last detail, but the worst thing to happen to tipping is the change the IRS made, some years back. If I understand correctly, the IRS always used to estimate tip for a server based on a table's bill. (The custom is 15-20 percent, and I think the IRS used to average lower than that.) But the IRS always used to collect its cut on tips from the server.

The change is that the IRS now holds the restaurant owner accountable for the taxes due on the tip. The result is that instead of the money going to the server directly, it first has to pass through the hands of the business owner. I don't know if this still goes on, but some years back I recall hearing that some restaurant owners would then "distribute" those tips to other members of the staff — the busboys, kitchen help, etc.

Traditionally, waiters always "tipped out" the busboys and bartenders they worked with, on any given shift, and better service (theoretically) promoted more generosity from the waiter. But now that the business owner has his hand in it, the business owner will operate according to his own interests. The waiter is cut out. The waiter has less control, and less direct incentive. The waiter has less of a payoff.

Rumor has it (or, if you will, common sense has it) that some owners abuse their role as middleman.

Sure, you can outlaw NSO itself. I won't complain! But all you're doing is smearing the problem over the globe. You can push this kind of work all the way to "universally acknowledged as organized crime", and it'll still happen, exactly the same way, with basically the same actors. You might even increase the incentives by doing it. Policy is complicated.
Lets say you have a small team and dev, test, prod environments. You want high availability. You need kafka and zookeeper servers, 2-3 of each so let's say 5 total. Dev can be single servers, but you should probably have an environment that closely mirrors prod, so for your Kafka stack alone you have to manage 12 servers, 5 for prod/test, 2 for dev.

Then you probably have Kafka connect running somewhere. That's another handful of servers. Maybe Kafka streams is a few more servers. Then you're going to have servers that collect events and publish them to the server. How many more servers is that per environment?

Congratulations, you now have a state of the art event streaming enterprise grade platform, and 20 servers to manage. Better hope your company gets on board with the real time model, otherwise you're now the owner of these pet servers until the end of time.

What's that, you ran into a rare kafka bug that caused your offsets to be lost after a reboot and now the bus is pushing millions of messages down the pipe to all the consumers? Wow, that sure sucks, hope you can juggle your day job with this massive production issue.
They are pocketing millions of dollars, but stomp their foot on the community. They are only hiring 5 more people, despite getting millions and millions of dollars. The people behind this project are not good well intentioned people. The language itself is great, due to the thankless work of many contributors who never got paid. The people behind the language are selfish and they intentionally harmed some Julia language projects, such as Grassmann.jl by banning valuable contributors who had good intentions and spent thousands of hours of their time contributing to the community.
It can catch people by surprise that Java's narrowing conversions may not preserve the sign. For example, the following is broken:

}
...
}

While climate change definitely is bringing the heat to the party, mismanagement of forests is providing the fuel. For the longest time we ignored the fact that small fires eliminate the fuel that big fires need to spread and diligently put them all out.

Is it really a shortage? If the preferences of potential restaurant customers simply changes such that they're no longer willing to pay enough for a restaurant meal for the restaurant to stay financially solvent, that's not a shortage. It's only a shortage if something is preventing the market price from changing (in this case, the price of a restaurant meal increasing) or preventing restaurants and customers who are willing to transact from being able to do so. Is that the case here?
> I'll never understand entanglement. Every explanation makes me wonder why it can't be used to instantaneously send a message.

Say you and Bob share a bunch of entangled particles. Bob wants to send you a message using those particles, so he takes one particle at a time and encodes his information. How would you know he did so? At the very least, Bob would still have to send you a classical signal to say he did something.

There are more subtle arguments why this doesn't work even at the particle level, but that at least should give you an idea why superluminal communication won't work.

Things I wish I knew when I first moved to the UK
I'll conclude with a philosophical note about software design: Assessing the security of software via the question "can we find any security flaws in it?" is like assessing the structure of a bridge by asking the question "has it collapsed yet?" -- it is the most important question, to be certain, but it also profoundly misses the point. Engineers design bridges with built-in safety margins in order to guard against unforeseen circumstances (unexpectedly high winds, corrosion causing joints to weaken, a traffic accident severing support cables, et cetera); secure software should likewise be designed to tolerate failures within individual components. Using a MAC to make sure that an attacker cannot exploit a bug (or a side channel) in encryption code is an example of this approach: If everything works as designed, this adds nothing to the security of the system; but in the real world where components fail, it can mean the difference between being compromised or not. The concept of "security in depth" is not new to network administators; but it's time for software engineers to start applying the same engineering principles within individual applications as well.

> For example, no one cares about screws, as long as they are machined according to spec, and torqued correctly during installation.

This just isn't true. Off the top list:

- are they the right spec for the load

- are they the correct material and finish for environment

- do they have the right head (for manufacture, but also support, etc.)

- what vendor options do we have (the more unusual, the more this gets interesting) and what risk

- are the manufacturing SOPs correct for this

- are the manufacturing SOPs being followed

- etc.

And that's the simple things like screws. You may not care about any of this stuff until it fails; but if nobody cares, things will fail.

The real difference between stuff like this an software engineering is that in far more cases for hardware an engineer can look up the correct solution and use it. You still have to care enough to check that, and check it against any change, etc.
