I started at the end of this era, working on a monitoring team that supported mainframes, network and data center systems. My second week on the job, my delivery of books arrived. About 30 linear feet of documentation. Iirc, it was part of our ELA.

I kept a couple of the references that I spent a lot of time in, along with my Perl books. Good times.
I'm not angry at either. The people trying to control it are just doing the most logical thing to create a happy place. But my position is that that is an elementary mistake, like never letting your child play outside. I'm saying some level of toxicity is better than none. Have you ever been part of an organization where people are not allowed to disagree? Rhetorical question.

Another analogy is that we need to have managed forest fires, instead of trying to quash every little fire at every turn which only results in a catastrophic blaze when one turns up that is out of control.

To add - The 'notice' is a nicety. AFAIK, most employer-employee contracts in the US are at-will where either party can cancel the contract and part ways at any time for any reason.
Even granting that the current admissions truly are need-blind (which I think it is reasonable to dispute), the smallest Ivy endowment is still over $4 billion. We’re not talking about a state university using full freight foreign students to subsidize in-state students because they have no other choice.

There’s no reason sticker price tuition at Brown needs to be almost $60k a year, and it is scandalous that Harvard, Princeton, and Yale charge tuition at all.
It's actually funny - that they think finding someone "guilty" of being offensive does anything other than bring the entire court system into disrepute.

Sorry you couldn't feed your kids last Christmas, we just _had_ to spend all your taxes on judges and solicitors to put people in prison if they do something grossly offensive - like fart in public.
Tactile Keyboard FAQ (2021)
I know, I'm pointing out that trains of thought similar to "I was unsure of therapy but liked it and kept going" are not going to be universal because maybe there is some underlying thing that makes you more likely to be helped by therapy.

Uncharitably I've seen this framed as something like "therapists only help people with simple problems."
Ah, the old Angular bashing. I don't get it. Meanwhile, it keeps steadily improving and working well for many teams. We really enjoy working with it.
No, propaganda is easy.
The minimum viable car has gotten much safer, and much bigger. Reversing this trend and enabling right-sized vehicles will be one of the many benefits of autonomous vehicle technology and other active safety technology. Except for getting crushed like an insect, I don't need more than a vehicle weighing a few hundred pounds -- less than the weight of a Tesla battery -- for commuting. It would be less expensive and require less of everything, especially battery.
Plenty of companies use source control other than git. AAA gaming studios are famous for not using git due to git's poor handling of large binary assets w/o workarounds.

I've used other source control systems and they do have benefits over Git to be sure. Access control is a huge one, you can have a large repository and have fine grained access control over who can access what paths in the repository. Heck with some source control systems this access control may even integrate with Active Directory, so there is only 1 account to maintain!

The way to do that with git is to have a lot of tiny repos, with all the advantages and disadvantages that brings.

Don't get me wrong, git's ability to easily branch is huge. I am totally over working in source control systems that required an admin to approve creating a branch, or where merging branches was a huge deal that could take a very long time to do, but git isn't the end all be all of source control systems, and there are certainly features from other systems that I miss when using git.

I'm hoping Mazda can catch up with an electric drive train. They have pushed ICE exceptionally far, but without an electric drive train with an ICE power plant or an entirely electric offering, I don't know if they'll up for my next consideration.

Your comment was the top one and it encouraged me to just click through to the article and... I just don't get it after the first paragraph. Indeed, colour blindness? But that doesn't make you "know" it wrong, that makes you not be able to tell (afaik). So then... the kid was either joking, had learned it the wrong way around, or tied the name 'red' to the bottom position perhaps.

... turns out it's a localization problem. If you're sitting too low at the front of the queue, you'd see the overhead traffic light often better than the drivers do. I didn't think that this must, of course, be another USA-localization story and the traffic lights are elsewhere over there (across the crossing I guess).

> used to driving at confusing intersections where it's not clear which light applies

and I guess that explains why there are different systems. Why not change them around in the USA as well? It's not as if people could be confused and look at the wrong lights, as the others' lights are simply not visible when the lights are all on the side nearest to the lane(s) they apply to.
That ... Seems pretty drastic. I think it's silly to find the guy guilty too, but the degrees aren't nothing.

> The only difference is the severity of the consequence, for now.

So the only difference is most all of it.

> Written for freshman at MIT, it is ostensibly an entry-level text. But it requires such a level of competence in math and physics, and the prose itself is so dense and archaic, that I couldn't imagine suggesting it to anyone.

It’s also a complement to a course, the implications here being that chapters and examples are to be discussed in class and that a certain amount of lab-work has to be performed as well for the concepts to sink-in. But It’s not for everyone. I couldn’t see a bootcamp based on this book for instance.

It does assume a fair bit of math and physics knowledge (or a curiosity for such) because it was written with engineering students in mind who, for some of them, were encountering a computer for the first time of their lives. [0]

> One guess is intelligence signalling. That it is human nature for a person to suggest a book in an attempt make herself look smart rather than to best assist the person asking for a suggestion.

This is clickbait. SICP has been used for decades and is extremely well regarded as an introductory book. Maybe the OP lacked the fundamentals required for approaching it. If the authos has a CS degree, that reflects poorly on the program he completed.

But the MIT freshman this book was written for definitely are.

Lessons from 2021
I would censor it. We have too much inoffensive speech. You've been fined £1. 3s.
> it implies you're leading a team that simply can't see the reality

If everyone on the team has the same level of visibility into everything, there is insufficient specialization and/or utilization.

The child in the analogy wasn't blinded from seeing the light ahead. He could theoretically access that information. But in practice, he didn't, and that lead to a miscommunication.
Probably a hot take, but I think this is a good thing. The line between political censorship and censorship in general is not as fine as everyone seems to think. For example, many people who aren't okay with political censorship are okay with the government censoring porn for underage children.

How are we going to deter assholish behavior from people who are out of their parents' and probably have no friends? I don't think jail time is the right answer, but at that point the government is the only real entity with the ability/right to correct their behavior.

I’ve had the experience (at a FAANG) where I showed up for an site and all the interviews had info on a completely different person. So my initial thought was there 2 Johns and somewhere between interview and offer they got switched. New John is going to graciously accept the offer, old John got ghosted.
I encountered such a person. Her parents were both mainframe nerds and she was a true believer. I think the shock of working as a 23 year old in a group of geezers that had been fighting each other since 1975 was traumatic.

It was just an example, a juxtaposition of "respectable" professsions/occupations vs the humble software engineer that now wants to be respected too.

In history, every time you set up an institution it becomes an entity in its own right. Company’s, orgs, religions, federal entities and countries all vie for power at their own level and within their own space. The problem with an ‘information-control/censorship/verification’ is… it’s exactly that, the age old ‘we are controlling information for the common good’. Every major nation in history eventually evolves to this point. They claim that the internet made this a new thing.

Listen to Lux Friedman - episode 254 with jay who professor the medical department at Stanford. It’s entitled the case against lockdowns.

‘ Social cohesion is a necessity, and mankind has never yet succeeded in enforcing cohesion by merely rational arguments. ossification through too much discipline and reverence for tradition, on the one hand; on the other hand, dissolution, or subjection to foreign conquest, through the growth of an individualism and personal independence that makes co-operation impossible.’

-Bertrand Russell

Edit: lol, little disinformation quip of my own. He’s just a professor, doesn’t head the department after a quick google search.
It happened simply because the rich wanted to gamble. Vegas was built into what we knew it because organized illegal gambling was pushed from the city of LA to the unincorporated sunset strip in what is currently west hollywood, and then out of california entirely. The very people that were prosecuted for gambling in LA found politicians in Nevada who had water and electricity from the hoover dam, but no people or industry, and welcomed their casino developments with open arms and made them into kings. What was criminal became legal, regulations penned by the regulatees, and Las Vegas became what it is today.

Interestingly, they're owned by Kadokawa Corporation, a large Japanese media conglomerate. Sony has a close relationship with From, so I could see them trying to buy the company, if Kadokawa was interested in selling.

There is of course value to communication, but managers without better things to do are trying to have it far too frequently. It is also much easier to schedule meetings as needed and keep the frequency of the regularly scheduled ones on as long a period as possible.

It kinda proves my McDonalds point (however bad an example that might be). Nobody even needed to think up the word game idea. Anybody (at least in this site's demographic) could build it.

I was hired on e for a position at a 35% pay raise; while this isn't particularly unusual in tech, on the first day, I couldn't figure out what they were talking about with most things. They couldn't figure out why I couldn't figure out their setup requirements. After almost 8 hours passed, they said they switched resumes on accident... so I'd quit my last job for this job, worked there a day for no reason, and was back on the street. The previous employer wouldn't take me back, and I had to start over.
I prefer "What makes you say that?"
I never liked McDonald’s… hotcakes? I don’t recall them calling them pancakes. I believe they called them hotcakes. But yes rubber!

But I didn’t know what a thick American pancakes was until I moved to Australia mid 2000s. In NZ if I got them in a cafe they were like max 5-6mm in height. But always soft and fluffy.

But when I got to Australia and had American style they were always very thick. And it clogs the mouth. I don’t know how to explain it, but it requires me to have a drink while I eat them because there’s so much… cake… every Kiwi I knew in Australia also hated them.

I'm a left libertarian w/ some georgism ideas....

I think what we need is a better social contract such that local municipalities get the dragons' horde of taxes... I also think we need a more EU style federal govt..

My ideal country would be 200 city-states (minimum), each governor is also a senator for the Congress. No house. There'd be ten regions in the country which might be like countries... or provinces ... these would simply be loose orgs of governors in an area who elect a President yearly to oversee the group, and speak for them. Each region has it's own military that the fed can conscript IF the region has 60% approval from states.

Fed is basically in charge of interstate commerce, international affairs, national security, etc...

100% of taxes would be required to stay within 100 miles of 'home' for the person paying the taxes... 10% of the total would be distributed among regional and federal levels...

Most things would stay the same organizationally, hopefully states would form their own universal healthcare and welfare programs, and grants for worker-owned companies. No subsidies at all for single-person or regular 'corporations'.

Some states would definitely fall back to more draconic thinking...esp on lines of abortion/gun control... some being pro-choice, some anti-abortion.... but w/ more states in wider areas you can move to a more progressive place hopefully.. like Austin might be a uniquely progressive city-state and Amarillo a more conservative one...

Don't like the one move to the other...

The problem to me is we put everything in D.C. and all our cash there as well, and all they do is spend it on the Military and nothing else gets done...ever.

Both sides are equally stagnate in proposing true/good options..

If we move the higher powers of government to local, and then thin it out as we move up to regional and federal, then people have more control of what really happens in their neck of the woods, and at least some places might have better living conditions and maybe the better places rub off their 'success stories' on the worse places and you get improved living conditions across the board...

Jefferson believed that people shouldn't be patriotic towards USA but towards Virginia, or whatever state... I think if we became more like that...then things might sort itself out.
That's a start. Give them a bit of time and they'll start prosecuting people for "offensive" comments about government. Fucking kangaroo court.

> don't want to make engines that can last forty years and 750,000 miles

Forty years is no problem already and a typical Honda/Toyota 4-cylinder engine is already a favorite to make 250K miles. Our CR-V just passed 225K miles and rust will kill that car long before mechanical problems do.

750K miles will cost you over $100K in direct operating costs (fuel and wear items). I don’t know that making an engine last 3x as many miles is that big a benefit to a new car buyer.
