In the lower class "Philantropist" is a most sarcastic word.

If you spend huge amounts into your de-facto own NGO's and use that to buy ridiculous amounts of land. This is not anything like contributing back. Its just charity-washed wielding of power. Because these "philantropists" still determine how their "donations" are actually used.
>>The difficulty of objective fact-checking doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. To use that logic, we should also not have judges or a legal system.

The limitations of objective fact-checking means we need to understand where we can/should apply it, and its efficacy are limited.

Judges or a legal system are a good example. These are also truth finding institutions. They are very expensive institutions, and produce a very limited stream of narrow truths. That's because truth finding is, as you say, difficult.

Law is an extremely limited system. We (in theory) apply it as little as possible, when other solutions have failed. The system is set up to verify or falsify claims as narrowly as possible to find this solution. Law has specifically defined truth categories like "reasonable doubt," and other rules about how to lean in cases of ambiguity.

The evidence for "person X killed person Y" may be sufficient to acquit person Z of a murder, but not to convict person X.

Fact checking can be used as a tool that newspaper editors use to maintain quality. It doesn't do the same thing in a different context. Fact checking at a newspaper, in wikipedia or for social media is a totally different thing with different limitations and applicability.

> Let's say you're reporting on Obama's birth certificate, and you write 20 pages of a deep dive into where he was born and all the evidence for it. You are complete and thorough, and you end up concluding that he couldn't have been born in Kenya.

Works perfectly fine for personal fact checking. You can do it like this. If it's being done in court, an editors's office, a wikipedia discussion page or FB's version of mechanical turk for moderators.... you will need a different method.

> It saddens me to see, time and again, the role of leadership painted in such a dire and incorrect way.

I think you misread the post.

I don't see where this is criticizing the role of leadership. Good leaders exists (though, they are rare). I have been led by some of those inspiring people. But I've never met a leader (as good as it was) who continued to be a great software engineer.

The point is that they all were stuck in the "Sort of knows what they are doing" zone. And that's ok for being a great leader. But then, nobody in the company is kept long enough at a position to become what the author describe as "Experienced".h
1. Of course you need the internet if you're hitting an api but the docs will get you to the point you can test it yourself without internet access by mocking their services.

2. If you're using a new framework or plugin you should have the source available in addition to the documentation. That should tell you all you need. 10 month "dusty" documentation means you're working with unstable code. If you don't have the source to inspect then you have other issues, the first being the proprietary code inflicted mess that you have to deal with.

3. You can download the stackoverflow databases of the topics you deem important and search through them.

My bet is that you haven't really even tried.
Yeah, IMO the issue is really information - ports, cables and chargers should have a clear information about how much power and which data can be delivered.
Personally I'd rather have proper enum support instead of generics at this point, I don't have a use case for generics yet.

You can send back a cable that doesn't match a well established spec, you'll have lost about an hour of your life.

It's harder to return a cable that had some numbers but not really matching what you're trying to do with them, and arguing back and forth about wether your iPhone 14 was supposed to transfer data at full speed with their "high speed" "iPhone serial A23XXXX~A324XXXX supported" cable. And you'll already have spent a tremendous time trying to find something that could vaguely work in the first place.
I think that we can agree that if you want to become a generalist programmer, able to hop from random web startup to random web startup, then a PhD is probably not that useful. If however you want to become more of specialist, say being able to develop novel solutions to complex fluid dynamics problems then a PhD is very useful place to start.
You're mixing up two separate things.

1. The hospitals that are busy firing health workers due to vaccine mandates are having capacity problems? Of course they are. That's an inevitable consequence of reducing staffing at a time when you need more. It's the result of bad government policy.

2. Statistical claims being manipulated. Consider the claim that 99% of hospitalizations are in the unvaccinated, made quite recently by US authorities. This stat didn't match stats from any other country, because it was a lie. The CDC's own internal presentations show this, clear as day. See for yourself:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/cdc-breakthrough-infe...

Slide 4. The graph shows that already in May 15% of people hospitalized for COVID were vaccinated. Not 1% at all, although this claim was being made far more recently than May. And, it was climbing quickly, as would be expected from the stats released by other countries.
> Drugging people with viral was always the main gig unto itself

I don't think this is a useful way to summarise it. You could say any business' main gig is not making money if you want to (this bank isn't about making money; we just intrinsically love signing people up to financial services!) I don't know if it adds anything, and I think it does subtract.

One issue I've noticed is that indexing into a T[] array where T can't be undefined, results in the expression to be of type T, not T | undefined, despite an out of bounds index evaluating to undefined. I believe I've seen that they recently added a setting that changes this though.

You can’t just drop the lower bound. For example, on my fathers side, people born in 1850 are only four generations away. While my mothers side it’s nearly 6. My wife’s family is closer to eight or nine.
Somewhat unrelated, but I'd like to ask people for more restraint in using the word "forced". People sometimes say they don't like others doing something, but that's still very far removed from forcing those others not to do something.
What I found most jarring was the close button on the wrong side of the title bar, and the wrong shape. In Windows 3.x, Close Window was the last alternative and default double-click action of the System Menu over on the left, just as it still is in at least some apps. It looked like a big 3-D minus sign -- for all apps; not a unique app icon as now -- which actually, AIUI, was a skeumorphism for the space bar, which (together with [Alt]) is what you pressed (and still do in Windows 10!) to drop down the window-handling menu.

There was no Close Window button at all on the right end of the title bar in 3.x... So it took me the longest while to stop closing stuff by mistake when I just wanted to maximize / midsizify a window, after moving to NT4 which shared the W95 UI. Now, I seem to be used to it: I just had to close an app by double-clicking its system icon at the top left, to double-check that it still works that way, so apparently I don't routinely do it that way any more. (Hey, that means it took me less than twenty years to learn!)
I can find cables claiming the same spec (100W, TB3, 2m) for 20-30 EUR. Less if you drop the length requirement -- 2m seems quite long, especially if you're using TB3 to connect a laptop to a display. I agree that there's a place for lower-spec cables that are cheaper and thinner.

Autonomous vehicles create new problems and solve none
What is the main motivation for creating autonomous vehicles? Take delivery drones for example, what problems do they trying to solve? If we look at it from money perspective -- delivery jobs are among lowest paying. And that's the segment that all those autonomous drones/trucks are trying to take now. So basically billions of dollars going into research to solve non-existing problem.

More concerning is what comes after adoption of this technology. And this adoption almost surely will come, either due to dumping strategies, some government restrictions("Roads are Not for People" act) or, most likely, both. As a consequences, ability to find a job will loosen for majority of people. Of course, liberals(that will become only more popular, broken folk loves "free money to all" policies) will be happy to write all those people some money checks out of squeezing middle class pockets. Small businesses will not win either, since maintenance costs will be hardly much lower when summed up. The only winners -- are elites. Billionaire investors and bribed politicians.

I would be all for robots-for-business regulations. Probably, something similar to hiring folks from abroad. E.g. -- it's allowed to use robotic system for performing specific function(from the regulated whitelist of functions), only if no human applied for it in X months with salary =< X min. salaries.

Otherwise, future looks gloomy to me. Any opposite opinions?

Sometimes "aliens did it" makes more sense than a lot of the imaginative narrative that somehow explains 15 billion years in confidence of certainty. But yeah, I get your drift indeed.
I personally disagree. I don't see any poisoning in the original bug report; furthermore, I think it conveys the issue (and some of its subtleties, such as referencing "modern CPUs") much more clearly than the version you propose.
I say, it doesnt matter, PhD or no PhD. Alot of the smartest people in the world have no PhD.

What i will say is that, i suspect PhD people to be people that create more theories around how to solve certain problems. And this. is very very very bad. It leads to design patters and generic solutions aka. lazy solutions that are just bloated and slow.

And this is a problem i see often with people who learned to code via school/university or some code academy like BS.

Design patterns are evil, and solutions should always be custom made towards the problem and be made as simple as possible. Only then you wont end up like microsoft or 95% of all developers.
> They took care of you when you were a helpless, shitting, crying, little ball of flesh.

This guilt tripping is so wide spread. What else they could do? Leave the baby outside after giving birth? Kids are brought to this world by parents in the first place. A baby is not asking please let me born to you.

Just stop breeding and spare the kids from the trauma that life actually is (and going through the same thing when they also get old), plus this will remove the trouble that taking care of the baby needs, saves money.

There might be many reasons to give birth, but none of it is for the benefit of the potential child.
They need to make decisions in the best interest of Company 1 and Company 2 separately.

An action done on behalf of Company 1 which slightly hurts company 1 but provides large gains to company 2 would be illegal (unless they can argue that it was part of a larger strategy to benefit company 1).
Samsung fined €40m for TV price fixing in the Netherlands
To me, the naming seems fine. It's a nice sounding word, and as far as I'm aware it's not a slur. You could claim that the context is sketchy (having a Hiawatha serving you sounds bad) but I think that's pushing it.

The cartoon on the other hand is something I'd skip. It's generally a bad idea to promote caricatures like that. A nicer example is the Apache logo which is just a tasteful feather. A good balance between native american theme and abstraction.
It doesn't go against everything else we know, it goes against whatever narrative is spun for everything we know. I know how to cross the street safely because I have first hand experience with it. Nobody living has first-hand experience with history.
That aspect of it destroyed the rereadability of the book for me. I tried reading it again recently because I loved the part of the plot that dealt with the spiders, but I ended up skipping over the chapters with the emergents because I knew where thing were going and didn't want to re-experience it.

Still, that's credit to the author that he was able to write something powerful enough to evoke such a response.
> a) because "field goal range" is subjective and differs among kickers

Of course field goal range is subjective. That's my point. If I know the position on the field I can make my own decision based on my perception of our kicker.

> b) the football field is extremely well-marked to easily determine the field position

Yes, when it is on screen. Between plays a wide angle of the field is rare.
Agreed. As someone who spends most of their time on performance related issues, it's important to keep in mind that sometimes performance issues are strongly tied to the architecture of the program. If the data structures aren't set up to take advantage of the hardware, you'll never get the results you're hoping for. And setting up data structures is often something that needs to be thought about at the beginning of the project.
Option types in general are a wonderful thing, it's a big part of why I prefer Kotlin to Java. Kotlin's syntax for option types is really nice too, it's just `Int` vs `Int?` as opposed to Rust's `Option<i32>`. I definitely prefer Rust-style result types when it comes to error handling though.

I really appreciate this perspective. Better tooling to enable individuals to penetrate more layers of abstraction sound great. To some extend e.g. with cloud providers this is already happening. We have more powerful building blocks than ever.
However, I feel the idea of experienced vs. junior programmer is not helping this discussion much. Experience can also hurt to some extend, because you need to unlearn things.
I’m not particular versed on the topic but I would have thought the primary motivators are a) increased safety (in the case of cars and transport) b) freeing up countless lost hours commuting for more productive work
If it's 5 bucks then it's not going to stop care homes calling them either. If you look at the numbers being thrown around in these discussions we're talking about maybe 5k or more, which can definitely be a life-changing amount for a poor person.
> Citation needed that this was a knowing conspiracy as opposed to bad intelligence.

There were literally UN weapons inspectors in Iraq, and the "intelligence" couldn't guide them to a single weapon [1].

It was widely reported, even before the invasion, that the intelligence had been "sexed up" [2] - such as the inclusion of claims that WMDs could hit the UK within 45 minutes. Of course the politicians in charge knew the intelligence had been sexed up - they ordered it.

There are also memos agreeing to invade regardless of whether WMDs could be found [3].

I'm more forgiving on the resolution front, my assumption is space isn't the greatest place for a very high density sensor. Historically it's been discouraged to bring digital cameras on planes without shielding since the sensors get damaged cells.

But why they're not just sticking an array of sensors everywhere they've got the b&w sensor, with fixed color filters in front of them, escapes me. Even smartphones are starting to look like insect eyes with the number of lenses in front of dedicated sensors. You'd also get the advantage of some redundancy.

You are being downvoted and its quite disturbing.

And you even didn't say anything controversial, hardly any options, but simple facts and conclusions drawn from the facts.

We can even bring out the comments by the Chicago school of economics - the birthplace of neoliberal free market ideology. Who with assistance from the government 'helped' south American countries by implementing more free markets than in USA. And as the result those countries imploded both politically and economically, and what does Chicago say? well obviously markets were not free enough.

They laugh at communist who say failed soviet counties were not communist enough, yet they do exact same thing with their experiments (actually, the difference is that they inflicted it on other countries).

Seconding. It takes doing some low-level gamedev[0] stuff, or using software written by people like Casey, to realize just how fast software can be. There's an art to it, and it hits diminishing returns with complex software, but the baseline of popular software is so low it doesn't take much more than a pinch of care to beat it by an order of magnitude.

(Cue in the "but why bother, my app is IO bound anyway" counterarguments. That happens, but people too often forget you can design software to avoid or minimize the time spent waiting on IO. And I don't mean just "use async" - I mean design its whole structure and UX alike to manage waits better.)

How much money do you want them to spend to do it your way, instead of doing what's needed to maximize science?
totally agree. philanthropy was once upon a time the only mechanism to align more primitive (red in tooth and claw) societies with evolving humanistic morality.

we are now in 2021, or the "modern era" as we claim. we know for a fact that broad based welfare and individual economic freedoms can perfectly coexist in well regulated societies.

philanthropy should become the exception, not the rule, practiced again by forward looking humanists that identify and remedy blind spots rather than being a crutch to a systemically broken system.

Uh huh, when it snaps. But between the previous down and the snap spectators are in the dark. I can buy a 70" TV for less than $1,000.00. I don't need to save space on the screen. I need context.
