I’d caution you to recognize that the slippery-slope argument you are making requires an engineer’s adherence to an extremely strong definition of “equality of outcome”.

The ADA requires only “reasonable accommodation” which is why you can still have rock climbing walls. Not many people are suggesting that we break everyone’s legs for equity, either.

But most insidious about the slippery slope argument is the implication that since this absurd outcome is the inevitable consequence of addressing equity issues, that we should not try.

This is, respectfully, crap. Yes, we should not ban rock climbing walls. Yes, we should reduce thresholds to help those in wheelchairs. We don’t need a framework that survives being taken to an unreasonable extreme in order to make progress. We are reasonable people who can make judgment calls, not paperclip-making universe-destroying automatons.
About as much discrimination from having a peanut allergy, asthma, glasses or the many other genetic weaknesses to diseases, foods and other wise.

So going by previous experience nobody would really care in most of human societies. The caring only starts really when it's directly related to performance on a physical job (ex: lifeguard, industrial scuba diver) or it starts effecting your mental behavior.

There is a reason why the 1st amendment is the 1st of the amendments - this has happened for a long time not just in England but elsewhere.

It's VERY convenient for those in power to selectively apply laws like this, and overall bad for society. But like most cases, as long as it isn't too blatant, it doesn't rise to the level of common outrage.

It got bad enough in the past to make the top of the stack of 'stuff to fix in v2' here.

The constitution though is just words on paper if people don't follow it day to day, and you can see examples of steady erosion from it (gag orders, national security orders, etc.)

The way I have seen the role these days is Agile coach, who teaches the principles of lean and agile as needed and helps teams diagnose problems they are too close to to solve, which is a valuable service. There’s usually one per few hundred people at a company, rather than one per five or so for the scrum master.
I'll agree with the author partly on software such as rustic/duplicacy - they are not a good solution for long-term archiving, nor are they marketed as such. I keep a network share that I mirror the home folder on my computers to daily, but I take periodic snapshots of the share with duplicacy and copy the snapshots to Backblaze B2.

The comments seem to be conflating Google Drive type cloud storage with more general S3/B2 object storage. I wouldn't rely on Google Drive and friends for backups - typically those have pretty short version histories as they are intended more for file synchonization with backup being an afterthought.

With respect to the archives: don't you think that's best left to the company and their legal department? - As far as I'm concerned, an archive is by definition immutable. And if a company caan't protect its own archives, it's got worse problems than GDPR.

Yes exactly, the style of competition can certainly affect your perception of the results. For example, in foot race with multiple participants, the silver medalist might be happy with second, because they know they dug in deep and barely beat out the bronze medalist at the finish line. Whereas in archery since you are competing in isolation of the other contestants, the silver medalist might be annoyed that the one shot in round 3 cost them the chance for the gold.

I think the difference is a perpetual motion machine ought to be able to do useful work. You can hook it up to a shaft and generate power ect. This merely moves.

Probably not. You need to practice. As a fellow self-taught engineer, I'd say it's worth doing. Check out something like algoexpert.io or one of Andre Neagoie's courses on Udemy to get a mix of theory and practice.
What you propose works in a small organization - which is the type of place where scrum was created and works well. In a large organization there would be too many people trying to make conflicting changes for that to work. Any individual change might be good, but they conflict and nobody can track what you are supposed to do now. That is why large organizations are so hard to change.

Agile focusing on people is a good thing. People are number one, but agile has always acknowledged the roll of processes.
It's the path of least resistance.

Having copies in at least 2 physical locations is important, because RAID/on-site backups won't help you if there's a fire/flood/theft that destroys everything.

Back in school I used to have 2 Synology NAS, one in my dorm, one in my office, each running two drives with RAID 1. I had a gigabit link between my dorm and office (in 2008-2014!) thanks to MIT's awesome network.

Now I live in Silicon Valley where even in 2021 I can only have a shitty 15 megabit Comcrap uplink so that setup doesn't work anymore.

What I do now is a 4-bay Synology NAS.

- The first 2 bays are RAID 1, they are the "live" volume

- The 3rd bay is the "nightly backup" volume and syncs to the "live" volume every day late at night. That way if I accidentally delete something or mess up something I can look at yesterday's version at any time, very conveniently.

- The 4th bay is usually empty, but once every 2-4 months I bring a drive from a storage closet in a different town, plug it in, sync it, and put it back in storage. Car is still faster than the internet in Silicon Valley. And that also allows me to have an airgapped backup, just in case there is ever a ransomware attack on Synology that destroys all the online drives.
This is handwaving snark and dismissiveness. It's not a very helpful reply. Indeed, another posted linked to the actual court ruling, which does indeed point to the offending articles. It makes the claims of a Kafkaesque trial sound dramatically overblown.
Did you actually read the article?

You won't even be able to factory reset or even remove your account from an old Gingerbread device. Sounds like a huge security flaw right there.

I think this is a great chance for the reboot. Yes, the dojo had its fair share of growing pains and bad actors in the space (both on member and admin side) but that was some time ago. The community has made great strides to correct and learn from its error. Many in the bay area rely on the community for mentorship, friendship and easily accessible tools to tinker as well as ideate and prototype. The original founders of super happy dev house as well as engineers from Apple, Cisco and Stanford oversee its operations today. I was a member since 2014 and stayed through the dark times. I would love to see more support from others.
> That responsibility is to conduct the business in accordance with their desires, which generally will be to make as much money as possible while conforming to the basic rules of the society, both those embodied in law and those embodied in ethical custom.

Emphasis mine. Surely it's against ethical custom to "bend the truth", to destroy someone's reputation, framing them as somehow involved in a murder.
That's a uselessly wide brush because it's all CRUD. Different companies specialize in different areas, carving out their own, highly profitable niche. Customized hardware for doing CRUD on (Apple, Juniper, Cisco), specialized software for high-performance CRUD (Oracle), selling access to systems for doing CRUD on (AWS/Azure/GCP), giving away access to custom CRUD software for free, and selling advertisement in the Read step (Facebook, Google Search), charging fees for use of custom CRUD software (AirBnB). Hell, money itself is just CRUD in various databases (bank/visa/the fed/blockchain/etc) and various companies make a killing off that (Venmo/PayPal/Square).

I'm sure they ignored it because they thought they would make more money that way.

I think most of the teams adopt it’s main activities without strictly following the rules. This way, it’s easy to start using, but teams never truly master it and usually start inventing their own heuristics for planning/reviews.

Some large companies, actually invest their time in agile training and contribute to SE process research. From large companies, I can call Ericsson and Spotify (good scrum at scale examples).

Coding is thinking. He might be forgetting the thinking aspect of his own job.
>The only way to see such a particle would be to hit it precisely with an even smaller particle and get it to bounce back.

Bounce back from what force? Whatever forces would make it interact with a single particle would make it interact with a detector, which is itself made out of particles.

They say the extra-stable tetraquark would only be susceptible to decay via the weak force, which means you'd have to wait around until it decayed, and then you'd often be able to see some charged remnants.
I wonder what the largest private employers as % of total labor force have been throughout history.

This right here is what happened to my dad. By accident he started working in the wine industry as a IT project manager and developer. They used a product from JD Edwards for large scale wine production. Oracle bought them. The Oracle product they had was way more expensive. For awhile they let them use the JD Edwards product that worked well. They wine and dined him we got to go to Oracle park luxury box for game etc.. but eventually they told him you got to use the Oracle one now for like 10x the cost... Software was junk anyways so he just ended up building stuff in house. Saved the company millions in licensing fees.
I’m not addressing the GP. The parent comment asserts that social equality has been achieved and the social justice movement (as a monolithic group) wants more than equality in opportunity, they want equality in outcomes. I’m merely saying that the initial assumption the parent makes is believed to be incorrect by the social justice movement (that equality of opportunity has been achieved).

But all opinions under the sun are available at our fingertips, so if we judge those who disagree with us by the most extreme of their similars, we’re not going to throw much light on these issues.
I'd say home storage is more at risk even for a general attack if you're using retail hardware with default configurations, like a NAS -- it's easy to scan the entire internet for vulnerabilities. Plus it tends to be vulnerable even to non-traditional attacks like Bitcoin ransoms. Whereas cloud storage is custom and patched and up-to-date and monitored... your consumer hardware mostly isn't any of those.

And there's a huge distinction between retail corporations leaking CC#'s, vs cloud storage providers. Securing credit card numbers is not Target's core competency. While securing personal and corporate data is a core competency for major established cloud providers.
Biology and chemistry exist as disciplines because, even though the laws of physics theoretically explain everything about the universe, it is completely intractable to use them to do so — and it turns out we can construct explanations of the universe at higher levels of abstraction than fundamental physics, and then reason using those explanations.

Your argument seems to be that physics is all we need.

Generally, this is true but there are still exceptions and some of them are significant.

For example, even though GAE still supports applications built on Python2, they are (as far as I know) not expending effort on fixing issues in Python2 (which is fine). They are asking folks to migrate to Python3 but the issue is some of the key APIs supported in Python2 are not available in Python3. Things like memcache, search, users API are not supported on the Python3 platform. It's as if these APIs' have 'essentially been killed' for Python3.

Some of these 'gaps' creates opportunities for folks like me to build some tools/features to address them or write articles about 'hacks' around it but it gets some people worried and can be seen as part of 'killed by Google' issue

This seems wonderful—I’m a little confused on who these investors are though? Is this some sort of climate fund, or a bunch of ordinary fund managers who are deciding that climate is the best way to maximize returns for their investors (e.g., by making sure the companies they invest in stay ahead of regulation)? Also, I’d be really interested in how the investors are going to evaluate these corporations—it seems like there is a lot of potential for “climate virtue signaling” or other similarly low-impact-but-headline-grabbing solutions?

ignoring the mismatching "Populations". (261 million seems to be "Civilian noninstitutional population")

Most of my bookmarks are saved in PinBoard. I also tend to use Zotero or Diigo to store my bookmarks. Occasionally, I will browse them by dates to see what I was reading x years ago. Sometimes, I will search them. I do not like to use tag so just use plain search in tools mentioned above. However, most of the bookmarks have not been opened at all.
There is also the issue of linkrot and I found that Zotero works best for me to save them offline.

The laws governing the strong force are somewhat well-known at this point, but calculations involving them are difficult and in many cases beyond our reach. Furthermore the fundamental constants are not known to a very high precision. Both of these problems can be addressed by collecting experimental data about how these particles behave in real life, both to pin down the constants, and to accept or reject calculation techniques.
I've been using Xamarin Forms a lot in the last 3 years or so and I like the framework. However, Visual Studio for Mac is a royal pain in the ass. I wonder if this is just my experience (maybe some weird config settings in my project or something) or if many people feel the same.

I use a 3.4 GHz Quad-Core i5 iMac with 24 GB of memory. Storage is a Fusion Drive. On this configuration Visual Studio often slows down to a crawl doing whatever it does.

I've recently switched to JetBrains Rider [0] and the experience is so much better. Rider never slows down for me. Occasionally the debugger disconnects, but just closing and re-opening the project fixes this issue most of the time. The key binds take a bit of getting used to.

To improve my experience in Visual Studio the few times that I am forced to use it, I'm moving my view code mostly to C# files (not making use of XAML anymore). Since the XAML editor is also very often slow to autocomplete and such in Visual Studio.

So with Rider, I now have a good experience. Sadly Rider is not free, but it's also not very expensive and my developer experience has improved in a big way. Rider also gives much better advise for refactoring, which is also a nice bonus.

I don't think that's a unique property to tetraquarks. Neutrons or neutrinos also are not electrically charged. I'm not sure what you mean by untraceable, but neutrinos rarely interact with other particles and many, many of them pass through you every second without you even noticing.
I think the consensus is they're a great option on the lower end of the price range. Steelcase, Herman Miller, et al are usually much more expensive than the Secret Labs making gaming chairs. You might have trouble finding a store stocking them though to try out, afaik they don't generally have any retail presence.

I use splay trees for their indirect utility. That is, the splay tree is a trivial way to calculate minimal, incremental updates to an append-only log. With most (all?) other b-tree structures, you would need to rewrite an unsustainable (or otherwise unpredictable) amount of tree data to the append-only log each time it is modified. The magic is that the splay operation redefines the root node every time you access the tree, so you just have to keep track of all the nodes you visited in each transaction batch and then write that sub-tree to the end of the log.

>paying attention to memory layout and cache line size is far, far more important.

Totally agree. For scenarios where I know I am going to have fewer than ~100k of something (assume an array of structs), I typically just do a linear scan over memory. If its a bunch of objects in memory or a cold access to storage, the trees become far more practical.
What do you mean by Haas?
