Though I have a degree in math, my undergraduate experiance was at a liberal arts college. Outside of my major I was required to take at least 2 history classes, 2 philosphy classes, 2 theology classes, 2 lietrature classes, 2 social science classes and a foreign language (modern or classical) to the intermediate level. I was a very rich and rewarding experience, and I firmy believe every bit of it makes me a better software developer and human being.

That being said, there was no explicit 'critical thinking' aspect to it, rather one learned the importance of reading and writing. If we define 'critical thinking' as the ability to bith understand a subtle argument and to make one, it was the reading and writing that did that.
no. I wish osm would adjust their licensing to prevent reuse of contributions to build non free (as in open) servicing.
By that same logic, I wonder how many times Facebook and Instagram have been reported for making teens so conscious about their self-image that they commit suicide?
I'm trying to figure out why you write dates with a leading zero. I can't think of any practical reason. Am I missing something or is it purely a stylistic choice?
Half of the original describes an exact process for tangling the cables ("bundling") so that they would be tangled in a fair way for every participant.

Are there any studies that quantify this effectiveness?
You'll find that you are indeed correct and that it is the point of the article that neither C nor assembly are compelling low level programing languages.
> I can’t even read my own hand writing any more - it must just be the lack of practice

I still write checks to pay bills (remember?). I have a timeline now of my handwriting and notice that it has deteriorated in periods of my life when I was under stress – sometimes unawares. But it has improved since retiring.

> iOS devices discover their own number by texting a known Apple number and getting the response via the Internet, they'll then populate this field out of courtesy but it's not necessary for functionality

TIL! Is that why in some countries and some SIM cards my iPhone can automatically report its own phone number (when I look at my own profile under 'Contacts') and in some countries it doesn't do that?
You can electrolyze water and get hydrogen to use.
The logic is very simple. When you create a product, you can choose either closed (curated, checked) or open content. The latter gives you much more possibilities but poses several serious problems, just like this one. If you choose this route, you need to face the consequences.
It might be cheaper in the present, but we’re richer in the future, and can afford more, because we have invested the savings in the meantime. Article fails to mention discount rates and like assumptions, so I am unable to compare and determine which trend is more powerful.

Maybe the paper is better?

> We find that discount rates of less than about 2% would make the perceived cumulative costs of most 1.5 and 2 °C scenarios overall less costly without overshoot (see Fig. 2c for the cumulative GDP losses and Supplementary Fig. 1.1-13 for the net present value (NPV) of the carbon price). Assuming higher discount rates on the other hand would favour relatively delayed mitigation with overshoot.

Wow!!! 2% is pretty damn low in terms of discount rate assumptions. Contrary to the article, this paper would advocate against immediate action unless you hold some pretty extreme assumptions. Typical values for the discount rate are more like 3-5% in developed countries, and they can be especially high (like 7-15%) in developing countries.

(The overall merit of intervention now vs later in reality, and not just in this paper, is left as an exercise to others.)
The one thing Alexa is really useful for is setting timers while cooking. Hands free, nameable timers make it worthwhile for me.
The current and last several iphones have been dual sim, one physical and one eSim.

I'm wondering if they keep an eSIM-only model as having two eSIMs.

The dual sim implementation is very weird, like its clear they only imagine that someone is popping in a different SIM for travel, as opposed to just having two numbers they use all the time like I do. Even most of the support is catered to travellers with a temporary second physical sim.

The OS implementation is odd, but has gotten better. Only FaceTime can't differentiate.

But I really wish Apple would do more contact management, even with permissions. Should be a way to silo certain contacts. Not every app I share contacts with should know every contact.
I think the contention is around that it could even be a 10 year stopgap. I too think it would be much shorter - a couple of years at most.
I don't like it. Having a physical object the embodies your phone's identity is a lot easier to deal with in many ways than an ethereal emulation of said object. For instance, if I'm traveling I can just buy a SIM card at a kiosk and pop it in, even if I can only communicate through little more than pointing and grunting. Another example: I got a new phone recently, but since all my stuff was still on my old phone, after the new phone was activated I told the clerk to put the new SIM back into the old phone. It was painless and literally took a minute. I'm sure dicking around with eSIMs would have taken far longer, and I'd have spend even more time dicking around to transfer things back.

> Apple's former design chief Jony Ive once envisioned the iPhone as becoming a "single slab of glass," and the SIM card slot's removal would be another step towards a seamless design...

I really do hate purist visions like that.

> Taking out the slot would also free up some valuable internal space in the iPhone — every bit counts.

And my money is that they'll use whatever volume they free up to mindlessly make the phone thinner.
In a lot of ways, yes. Their runtimes are so massive that saying they "run" on any of those architectures is a stretch of what is actually happening at a lower level.
Your edit to google maps is a competitive advantage. Your edit to OSM is a public utility.
This article is a bit scattered. But it makes one good point: Big Tech companies are profiting off of the OSM data set, while employing no one working on OSM. How do we change that?
But Esim already exists. Nobody needs to steal your SIM card to start using your phone number.
In order to effectively do business in these countries, being able to make phone calls and have a predictable phone number while in country is incredibly useful, this is what I’m referring to. I guess the result is a collection of sorts, but these things get used regularly, and the ability to swap and go on my own schedule is what I’d like to see from eSIMs before I lose the ability otherwise.
About 10 years ago I helped build a piece of software that would use OSM data and that data needed to be precise. Turned out that a lot of the Tiger Maps scans were not super accurate so I urged our company to hire a data entry team to clean up a bunch of it. We had I think 5 or 6 people whose job it was to precisely clean up OSM data based on satellite imagery in a bunch of small-medium cities as well as Chicago. Everyone benefitted from this which was awesome.

as counter example to your premise, icd cite projects like Node-RED or Yahoo Pipes. These are little micro-os like systems, environmemts for cobbling together computing. They're higher level than what we might often think of, but they are easily im domain to me at least. And they're definitely about empowering!

It's a fault that more systems research isnt about finding more userhfaving abstractions. Naked Objects environments. Oberon. Good abstractions & systems dont just have to be for developers.
I'm of the same age, two kids as well. Totally normal to feel this way, so don't beat yourself up. Why not stick with B and then move to A down the road? Why give yourself the added stress right now? If you are at a major tech company, there should be room to move within the organization later on down the road as well. Also, don't worry about the careers of others, everyone moves through their careers at different rates.

On a side note, every job is going to have its soul-sucking aspects, no matter how amazing the position might look from the outside. Politics, stress, anxiety, etc are going to happen whenever people and emotions come together. Time with your kids is something you won't ever get back, maximize for this before anything else (especially since you seem to already have a good career). Separate the job from your life as much as possible, don't become your job so to speak. The time for side projects will come back. When I do get the time to work on a side project now, I find it much more enjoyable and I appreciate the slowness.
Does your living room look like the advertisement photos at Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, or any other furniture store? I’m guessing not. This stuff is staged. Like notebooks advertisements.
> Microsoft Bing uses OSM in several regions, and is slowly moving from it’s traditional providers to OSM globally. They provide machine-learning (ML) datasets that they have computed from areal imagery. They employ nobody in the OSM community.

Microsoft Bing made its aerial imagery available for OSM editing, this is often very very very useful for mapping (speaking from own experience as an OSM mapper).

It is an interesting case as cost of that is basically nothing to Microsoft, this action has a very clear benefits to them, has negative influence on their competition like Google, has basically no negative side effects to OSM community (unlike company hiring people) and provides service that would cost OSM community ridiculous amounts of money if we would need to buy it (it would be impossible for us to buy worldwide aerial imagery of such quality).

It is weird to not mention it in that article.

For the movie, I objected to three things:

(1) For the US loss at Kasserine Pass, the movie has Patton and Bradley blame poor discipline of the troops. Another view is that the German leadership set and baited a trap, and the US leadership -- General Fredendall -- responded to the bait and ordered the US troops into the trap where the Germans devastated the US troops and created the massive US loss. The US troops had enough "discipline" to advance as ordered and to fight and die in the trap.

Net, I would claim that the main cause of the US loss was the poor leadership of Fredendall and not anything about the "discipline" of the US troops.

(2) The movie mentions that Patton "trained" his troops, but except for some points about discipline, e.g., uniforms, there were no details on the "training". So, if wanted to learn more about Patton's leadership, e.g., as a foundation for his successes, then would want more about the "training".

(3) An important part of the Allied victory at Normandy and in France generally was their victory at the Falaise pocket. There Patton was doing well closing the pocket, but Monty ordered Patton back, and many Germans escaped east. The movie omitted the battle of the Falaise pocket.

> Lender Notification and Consent: Existing property lenders must receive notification and give approval for C-PACE financing in most states. This is important because C-PACE loans displace other liens. Normally, R-PACE loans don’t require consent from the mortgage lender. [0]

> One of the biggest risks of the PACE program is the risk for foreclosure. The contract for the funding will act as a lien on the property. If you fall behind on your payments, you risk losing their home or business to foreclosure. Even if you're current on your mortgage payments, the PACE program moves in front of it, and they can start foreclosure proceedings. [1]

Probably part of it is that (at least I think so) critical thinking is not a good word for the process. It might be better called evidence based analysis or fact based thinking.
And from my understanding, these social engineering and sim swap problems are mostly ( if not all ) US specific. I have never heard anything near the order of magnitude of US sim swap from any other country. Most countries have Personal ID that are required and issued by government as verification. But even places like UK will require address and Driving License / Passport proof along with security questions.
There's more effective methods that create less disturbances. Noise pollution is proven time and time again to be both a physical and mental health hazard. People are subjected to this crap while trying to live their lives in their own home, and brain washed into thinking its ok and to just deal with it. There should be huge pressure to reduce noise pollution when solutions exist. In this case, solutions do exist.
True, but ANNs are nowhere near as good as our brains, nor do they operate in the same way.
You'll need to have a connection once when you provision the eSIM. There may be some way in the spec for the device to use the network itself for that connection, similarly to how you can make emergency calls without a SIM card.

But even if you don't have a connection now and try to provision it, I'd assume the phone would just cache the SM-DP code for later provisioning in the background when a connection is available.

Privacy-wise, there is no difference. It gives the carriers more opportunities to be assholes and justify some new hostile requirements due to the switch to eSIM, but once an eSIM is provisioned it behaves just like a physical SIM.

I respectfully suggest that, like almost everyone, you are less than selfless - even when your children are concerned. You sometimes want them to turn their music down, clean their rooms, or run an errand, because it would be nicer for you. That is not a moral failing, but a reflection of the fact that you are a normal human being.

> There are a thousand different ways where one can "avoid any inconvenience". You can hire help.

There is almost no family that would not be seriously inconvenienced, at the very least, if children just did what they wanted. Most families can certainly not afford hired help.
> Hitler turned around Germany's economy in the 30's

Sorry, I must comment on that, because this point is sometimes publicly repeated by politicians. It was mostly an expected recovery after the crash in 1929, combined with job programs that were planned before the Nazis, a secretly state-sponsored war economy, and various dubious methods (to say the least). see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany#Recove... for a summary.

I hate noise pollution too, but out of curiosity if you live in a place where winter has the properties that makes sound travel further, doesn't it also necessarily have the properties that make it a bad idea to leave your windows open?
How does this work for you with eSims now? On a recent trip I had eSims from 3 countries where I did just this (data only, because I didn't need a phone number). I just turned them off and on at will.
You are very welcome! From time to time I meet people that played that PoP Atari version and each time it is heartwarming. Thanks.
I'll give you an anecdote for my company (we're a software firm with developers, support staff, and sales reps):

We offered hybrid and remote options to all of our employees once lockdowns ended. All of them (except for one) wanted to come back full-time, with some notable exceptions for hybrid. Some employees have kids so they went hybrid, but once schools reopened they all went back full-time in the office. The lone person was extremely freaked out about COVID and still wants to do full-remote, and he's now working hybrid where when he's in the office he's in an isolated room away from us.

All of them disliked the lack of communication while remote. We implemented Teams, had our daily/weekly standups over video chat, and talked a lot using remote tools. But that significantly slowed things down and it was hard to figure out what people were doing.

Remote does have a place, but I think hybrid is the way to go.
You're definitely not the only one! We [1] have been in-person in San Francisco predominantly, at first due to visa sponsorship rules, but also due to the energy you get at a fast moving early stage startup, allowing us to scale super fast. We've had to constantly evaluate whether we are making the right decision, especially as we say no to really talented people who are remote, but some of our early engineers put their foot down and let us know that they chose us /because/ we were in person. And time and again we've seen that there's plenty of people like you who want to be around people and feel connected to everything happening, especially those who are looking at series A/B startups. Frankly, it also just seems that you need to be a lot more rigid, focusing on specs, structure, documentation, when remote-first and that is not as fun when hacking. We of course are flexible about work from home, or traveling to see family or be in other places, but last time I was with family I definitely noticed that working over zoom and slack was way more exhausting.

How I Build
I've had my Discord account permanently deactivated because I somehow triggered an automated system to think my account was suspicious. My phone number was verified, I was a good faith participant in many servers for years, and a paying Discord customer. My only guess about what might have happened is that I was using a VPN and there may have been someone using the same IP that did something suspicious. In any case, there is no recourse for me, and I am permanently banned from using Discord. So yeah, please don't use Discord for FOSS projects, or anything else important.
I’d certainly expect a commercial borrower (C-PACE) to understand what they’re signing much more than a residential (R-PACE) borrower.
I would add, that for the way I see things happening, I would expect someone to say "There are too many pizzas, so pizza are bad/fragmented/confusing, can't we just have one?" :D

Ask HN: How does your organization handle documentation?
It seems useful to get a sense of how different organizations handle documentation in the real world. I'm curious whether your org uses the following types of documentation (or any others) and how they manage it, with whatever details you can give:

-Developer setup

-Developer best practices & style

-Product documentation

-Project documentation

-Docblocks/doc strings

-Inline comments

More importantly, what are the habits that your org encourages around documentation?
