But the reason these coaches are able to get these salaries is because of policy decisions made by state governments. To some extent, voters have a civil duty to decide whether they agree with this policy, and vote accordingly.

It's true that someone has to write their checks, but the point is that that someone is the state government, which is funded by our tax dollars.

On the other hand, most state schools are getting less and less money from the state as American state governments turn away from funding education.

It’s interesting to see how sports is orphaned in academia in the rest of the world. You either leave school to be a real sports athlete or stay at university and do sports on a more ad hoc intramural level. The sports staff and coaches, if any, make a paltry salary compared to other staff in the university.

NewLimit: a company built to extend human healthspan
Learning how to ride a unicycle is somewhat similar, though the opposite:

Here hard part is the back-front balancing, because it is intimately mixed up with pedaling for propulsion. If you already know how to ride a bi-cycle, then the left-right balancing is so easy, it's essentially free.
You'd think the players are similarly worth it.
Complex systems are expensive to operate, in many ways.

The more complexity you build into your own systems on top of the providers you depend on, the more likely you are to shoot yourself in the foot when you run into complexity issues that you’ve never seen before.

And the times that is most likely to happen is when one of your complex service providers goes down.

If the kind of thing you’re talking about could be feasibly done, then Netflix would have already done it. The fact that Netflix hasn’t solved this problem is a strong indicator that piling more proprietary complexity on top of all the vendor complexity you inherit from using a given service, well that’s a really hard problem in and of itself.
If you are not being paid for it why build features you don't like? That is what you do in your day job! Your hobby project should atleast should make you happy ?

Amazon penalizes their workers for bathroom breaks and replaced their HR team with a chatbot. This is allowed by federal labor laws, and Amazon’s primary source of retail revenue is externalizing human costs. Our tech and business communities believe regulations are harmful, and American politicians are inept. So I don’t see how we can prevent their abuse unless something changes; yet, no one wants to be the one that changes. A startup seems unlikely to help, but I remain optimistic that someone will change.
The earliest known dictionary of Chinese was 爾雅, meaning "Near refinement". It is common for languages to use "near" and "far" to indicate "this" and "that". Of course it would take somebody literate to know this, which most internet junkies today are unfortunately not.
> My complaint about the --add-opens fiasco is that it was basically a breaking change for the sake of being a breaking change, rather than one that was necessary to fix some bug or add some feature.

add-opens, which, again, has been required only since JDK 17, is absolutely essential for Java's security (it is impossible for any Java code to make any strong guarantees without it), and to prevent the kind of problems we've seen when migrating from 8 to 9. The only thing it breaks is the ability to write non-portable libraries without the application knowing about it. There is not a single line of code that would be affected by it that wouldn't have also been susceptible to any change in internal details, which can happen in any release without warning. Since the rate of internal implementation details is only going to grow with the growing investment in Java, this change helps warn against potential issues due to non-portable code.

You sound like an expert. Are my heuristics unbeatable?
Consider what we started with - vacuum tube transistors - and the tasks being optimized, and learn about the first few iterations as processors were being developed. If each transistor is a bit then the number of transistors is the number of bits you can process per cycle. Each time you cut the transistor size in half, you can fit 4 times as many transistors in the same space, and it takes less time for signal to propagate between individual transistors. At a certain point, physics limitations will prevent shrinking the 2d area over which you can arrange transistors, so you'll have to start building into 3d arrangements.

Bigger is slower and uses less transistors. It's also hotter, since the electrical connections are longer and thus have more resistance.

I have similar experiences from salsa lesson. I did years and years of classes, but did one private lesson (and a few years later another) with an exceptionally good teacher and got more enough actionable insights to fuel my improvement for at least a year.

Even experienced dancers who teach will often say what they think they're doing rather than what they're actually doing, which I always find frustrating. The approaches that work best for me are:

1. Describe how it feels to do what I need to do

2. Describe at the biomechanical the principles of what I need to do, which muscles to engage, how my weight should be distributed etc.
Right? In a place called tornado alley who could have thought. If only a company like Amazon had some money to spare to figure local risks and plan to protect their people.

In fact, its amazing Amazon is seen as so reliable since they couldn't foresee something like a Tornado in Tornado Alley killing their workers and disrupting business.

You imagine a company which couldn't factor in that sort of risk goes out of business from a sea of missed deliveries.

You can cite super-narrow cases constructed to make censorship seem like a great idea. Within the limited bounds of those examples, the argument may seem to hold water. But in reality, there is no way to limit the power of censorship to the places where it's right to use. It will always be abused, and today it is being abused massively to suppress reasonable ideas from millions of people because they don't flatter the values of the people who happen to hold power.
I can't tell if this is the ongoing Japanese media pushing their "Japanese is superior" agenda or is this legit...

It used to be the patient's charts were hanging at the foot of the bed. This made it easy for the doctor doing the rounds to get accurate information and for any observers, such as family and friends, to verify that the doctor was actually aware of the details of the patient's condition. Nowadays computer charting is so unusable that patients with drugs allergies are surprised if their physician doesn't try to prescribe a drug that will kill them.

Woz did a stint as an educator after working at Apple, and one of the stories he recounted was how a student told him he was able to create an animation on a computer. Woz's first thought was that it was not possible, because there was no video software on the machine. But the student had rigged it so that a sequence of still frames, each in separate windows, arranged in a chronological sequence, would all close when a program would close, and the effect would be an animation as each of the windows was closed in turn. That, Woz said, was hacking.

I don't recall where I heard that story, and my recollection may be off, but that story always stuck with me.
Ah Perforce... you have my sympathy.

Does your team/company store art and asset blobs (even rendered FMVs?) in Perforce too, or do you have a separate asset-management system for that? If you do have two separate systems, how do you keep the asset-store and source-control in-sync?

It's been a long time (easily 20 years now) since I dabbled in any high-end creative software (like 3ds, etc), but I remember they generally all had large binary singleton project files (like Flash .fla and Photoshop .psd files) that couldn't be deconstructed and effectively diffed by any source-control system (though Flash eventually supported external ActionScript source-files), I'm curious how that affects your org's asset storage needs.

It's an interesting idea, but I wonder about that. The largest Quonset hut ever built was 54,000 sq ft [1]. The Amazon facility was 1.167 million sq ft.

At that square footage, the semi-circle arc (which is its main wind-deflecting feature) would have to be gigantically tall. It doesn't sound like a feasible geometry at that scale.

Is it more of a problem of regulation not keeping up with modern developments?
Or draconian requirements that got implemented once several decades ago to spec and now no one wants to poke it with a 10ft pole? I guess both apply to most heavily regulated industries that have any level of technology involved.

> many instinctively want to climb hierarchies

I think some, myself and Apple included when I worked there for years, consider hierarchies as a restricted sort of graph (essentially trees) that, to be a tree, necessarily collapse multiple dimensions of talent per individual into the single hierarchy, and thereby loses information. Hierarchies were avoided even whenever possible.

This has worked out fantastically for me for decades. But would-be managers have vested interest in promoting the supposed intrinsic instinct thing. Individuals don't have to play along.

You can get cheap balance bikes for a couple dozen bucks. But, of course, there's no upper limit.

The timeline is interesting, because it’s my understanding that the 1980s is when college tuition began rapidly increasing [1]. Granted, there’s many other factors like govt backed loans, but inflated coach salaries seems to coincide [2]. The 1980s seemed to mark the beginning of an era when college was run more as a business than a purely educationally minded institution. I’m not sure society is better off for it.

Another reason that this is possible is because these coaches are sort of state employees on a technicality.

> pay for every

No... projects want contribution more than money, the idea of paying the author is that they can then continue to contribute in the long term by proxy for the payers.

But FOSS-systemwide, I give much more than I take. It just needs leechers, who systemwide, give nothing back, to do the same.
So I have seen another slightly different angle to this (and this applied to me). As companies get bigger org boundaries are a real thing. Engineers who prefer breadth (I contributing across the stack and boundaries) are stymied. And making this kind of impact is really hard unless you have a high enough title but getting there needs a lot of political maneuvering. For these engineers who are more driven by building vs impact management starts to look appealing as side projects may start offering more excitement and challenges than yet another crud service.
