Can someone tell me more about Rose Parks Advisors and the predilections of Matthew Christensen?

I have a view into family offices and there is a lot they can do, I am just wondering more about if there is a relationship between this startup and that family office to make this worth that family offices' time, or if that family office really just has that much cash to place. Many times family offices can have a large limited partner of the family that is their non-profit foundations, which is basically dead capital that can be used to spruce up any investment, and so that is what it is used for. Many quick raises are done by institutional investors that are just endowments.
I'm personally excited about the Steam Deck because if all works as planned, it could allow me to separate gaming from my work computer.
> ain’t very good with maps and filters

Isn't a comprehension just a map/filter by another syntax? You can re-create them from a list comprehension pretty simply:

`map = lambda data, map_fn : [map_fn(x) for x in data]`

`filter = lambda data, filter_fn : [x for x in data if filter_fn(x)]`

Then, why even have the lambda-translations above since the comprehension is already "Pythonic"? Also, you have functools (https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html) which you can use for several functional programming paradigms as well.

Functional programming isn't what you call the techniques (map/filter/etc.) it's how you are programming that makes it functional. You can still use functional techniques in Python to make things a bit easier to reason about. A lot of the things people thing about functional programming aren't inherent to the actual functional programming paradigm: like laziness or immutability.

You’d be surprised what pure spite can lead a man to deal with
I dont understand the logic in this at all. Is the idea to have some sort of free flowing money pool a la UBI that ensures all people can obtain basic necessities? If so, then what will ensure those necessities exist in the first place if the intent is to remove money as a tool of trade? You cant just make supply and demand magically disappear.

This sounds just about as superficial as the dude on fox news who wants to walk dogs and teach philosophy as their profession. Surprisingly or not, none of the antiwork activists are queuing to work in rice fields or other gritty but absolutely necessary jobs.
The government has been on the losing side of a lot of free speech cases. Just because the first amendment exists doesn't mean the government respects it. Also the government is not a singular entity but many small ones.

I don't know about that - it hardly seems draconian, it's a trust-based system, entirely reliant on self reporting. Most of the time you just have to check a box that says you are an "accredited investor". Sometimes they want you to upload a few bank statements.

I've been sacrificing a lot of sleep and also stopped working out ever since the baby was born - so I guess a mix of these two are definitely hurting me.
Thanks for the insight. This might as well be the time for me to get back to working out a little

Money has always trumped (pun intended? up to you) ethics and principle when it comes to foreign policy in the US. Saudi Arabia has a lot of money so they can do what they want. It's probably the same in Canada.

Spot on. I’ve met many psychologists who struck me as kind, wise people with a helpful perspective. Society needs them.

But to plug this fuzzy, professional knowledge into equations, call it science, and use it to make decisions in business and policy is at best naive and at worst fraud.

I think we are talking about entirely different topics/ talking past eachother. I too agree that school should include the darker parts of history and lessons learned from them.

I don't think that you and I can have a discussion unless we agree on the subject we are even talking about.
More often than not the constructs in the garbage studies are quantifiable, just useless. The bigger problem is the "what" of what is being measured---whether that thing is representative, useful, or important. Part of the reason bad research has the veneer of authenticity is that the numbers, graphs, and statistics dress up the nonsense.

64 and still crafting in C and assembly. Occasionally doing hardware design/specification work. I studiously avoided the management path my forty year career. The constant technology change is what has held my interest. A career in telecom: Metallic access -> DS0/DS1 -> SONET -> 56K/DSL -> MPLS -> ROADM -> OFDMA/LTE -> WiFi/BT/Lora/Zigbee. Never look back. I cannot even imagine the page count of standards documents, requirements, and manufacturers user and programmers guides I have read in the last forty years.

Had to come back and add. I am doing a lot more embedded python utilities in the last three years, but it is all interfacing to C based firmware on raw silicon underneath.

I have found python to be a lot of fun.

Oh, god. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get people to respond with concrete stories. Lie for all I care, but tell me something about what you've done in the past. Granted, I haven't interviewed anyone since I was in college hiring other college students, so hopefully people in the real job market do better here.
I think it's a reference to the written human language of the blog post, which when I attempt to view, is in German.

These are a fascinating way to trace the evolution of games as a marketplace. The modern games storefront (pioneered by valve with steam) is far more Worth My Time than figuring out the latest torrent and cracking hokey-pokey. It feels rewarding to pay developers for games I like the concept of on a whim, even if I don't completely gel with the final product. However the real problem I see on the horizon is the massive walled gardens and subscription game passes eclipsing any form of software ownership, which in turn cripples the modding scene.
It isn't clear to me why either of those should be dogmatically stuck to. They're useful for a certain class of software, and actively harmful to others. For games, which are meant to be an integrated experience, they're mostly non-sequiturs.
Say you're given a Python function in a large codebase that doesn't have documentation but does have type annotations, say, to indicate it returns Optional[str]. Does this tell you that you just need to check for None, and otherwise it's a string?

Nope, it could throw. What could it throw? We don't know. There are many applications where this magnifies the dangers of any existing technical debt. One could desire strong exception-proofing of results without needing to go "all in" to a borrow-checked regime like Rust.

The Koda approach is lightweight and doesn't enforce this, but one could imagine a static checker that says "any function that returns a Result, and calls any function that does not itself return a Result or does any other risky operation, must have an exhaustive top-level try-except block, or be wrapped by a decorator that does the same."

Then, you could guarantee that all code explicitly handles exceptions, while still accessing the full Python library ecosystem - you can use non-Koda-wrapped code at any time, you just need to handle its exceptions.

Is this overkill? Possibly. But I can think of a handful of bugs offhand that this would have caught in our codebase if enforced.
iCloud and Google storage plans are overpriced? I have always thought they are cheap storage plans. 50GB of iCloud costs $0.99 per month. 2TB costs $10 which is similar to other solutions such as Dropbox or OneDrive.
Yep. Especially common to negotiate a "make whole" which compensates for whatever equity and annual bonus you're leaving on the table to jump.

And to put it another way, if you're moving jobs in financial services without negotiating a make whole, you're not getting the best deal.

Exactly correct.

If someone advocates for more funding for social workers and mental health care, they can just say so. That funding doesn't necessarily need to come from police budgets.

If someone advocates to "defund Planned Parenthood", they would be disappointed with a mere reduction in funding.
Can you share a bit about the alternatives you've find? especially if you've find an alternative to google photos.
Moving away from Gmail is an hassle, but it's ultimately eady. What I can't do without is Maps. There's no real alternative (I don't know about Apple Maps, don't own an iPhone), nothing gets even close to Google Maps.

Why would the cost of those unpopular jobs go up? If a company can't find anyone at "market rates" they can just get temporary foreign workers and never raise the wage. As long as everyone is cashing in on the cheaper tfws the price never goes up and they never need to hire anyone at a riser wage.

All these market conditions for wages don't work with all the policies set in place to depress worker wage increase.
Yes. If “I don’t care” means it takes a century, chances are you start to wonder whether your users really don’t care ⇒ To determine whether telling the OS that your users don’t care how long it takes, you need an idea about what that means.

It is unworkable! But becomes the expectation.

> How would you establish a healthy office communication culture?

The same way it has worked well for the ~30 years of my career before slack-obsession. Have something to discuss, put it on the calendar for the relevant people. For smaller things, send email and don't expect an immediate response. If things are truly on fire right now, make a phone call.

Curiously, in decades past we always used IRC which is basically same thing as slack. But IRC never grew this culture of obligated insta-response, it was more for chatter that one could read or ignore depending on how busy. Not sure why. Perhaps because slack is a paid product, it's now part of the business so everyone is expected to take it Very Seriously and be on it all the time.
Just because the admins can do (and have done) worse shouldn't make Crowd Control an acceptable measure by comparison. If anything, I'd say a black box algorithm dictated by the admins is worse than the preemptory auto-mod banning that goes on in a number of political subreddits. I have little confidence the admins won't eventually use it to police subs at a mass scale without the need of the moderator.
Localism should be encouraged more, I agree, but I just get the vibe these antiwork activists arent arguing for that, but rather for some subjective right to spend their days doing what pleases them while someone else provides the basic necessities for them.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m suggesting.

If people aren’t willing to suffer today, then everyone is going to suffer immensely from climate change over the coming generations.

The fact that everybody wants change but nobody is willing to change shows me that climate change is an absolute lost cause.

Even if politicians had a spine the far more likely thing would be Facebook withholding their propaganda services until any undesirable legislation is rolled back, not saying goodbye to half a billion users.
> The father suspended the constitution [...] over a manufactured panic over terrorists planting bombs in mailbox

Without speaking in support of it: as far as I know (and as far as your sources indicate) Pierre Trudeau's infamous 1970 invocation of the War Measures Act to temporarily suspend civil liberties had nothing to do with Operation Bricole, which didn't even start until 1972; it concerned the (real, not manufactured) kidnapping and murder of Pierre Laporte, among various other (real, not manufactured) terrorist activities. See [0] for more details.

Moreover: the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms didn't even exist in 1970, so it's not quite accurate to say that Trudeau "suspended the constitution" then. In fact, he's the one who, in 1982, led the charge to create a Canadian constitution and attendant protected rights [1].

> my mind instantly goes to thinking "Well, what are their peers saying?"

The classical Greek and Romans were incredibly civilized by the contemporary standards of their vicinity. Basically everyone was keeping slaves back then, but the Romans were pretty unique in not sacrificing infants to Baal or Moloch, and not collecting the severed heads of their enemies as trophies of mindless cruelty. And even the whole slave-holding thing was in the process of being slowly reformed over centuries, thanks to the ascendance of Stoic philosophy with its ideal of equal God-given dignity for all humans - which by the way was ultimately a key influence on Christianity, and an important contributor to its early spread within the Roman elite.
$350k is just the max base salary (cash). Comp packages have multiple components and then the actual total compensation including the value of shares awarded would typically be higher, veritably much much higher for anyone getting $350k base. For a lot of senior tech employees “cash salary” is a small minority of total comp.

But we're not talking about the government, we're talking about private platforms. Others are allowed to spread misinfo if they so choose.

> Also, in a recent court case, Facebook admitted their fact checking was opinion and therefore protected from defamation. So to put those together, Facebook is censoring because of their opinion disagrees with the opinion of the censored.

Fact checking is an attempt at objectivity that is nevertheless partially subjective, but that doesn't mean it's not better than doing nothing. You wouldn't improve the New York Times or Wall Street Journal by dragging them down to the level of the National Enquirer.

Still I don't understand why is it the default license that people instead of public domain e.g. BSD0.

Sometimes it's not obvious how to satisfy the attribution requirement for example when I am taking only a piece of code like a single function that would later dissolve in code of my project. I am not thinking about that when I am copying the code from a public domain project.

Why do you think that requiring attribution for your code is important?

When I go to a landing page, I expect to be given a reason to give the company my money. (And in fact I'm hoping to be convinced of that, because it means my life is better.) I visited your landing page and do not know what problem you are claiming to solve. It looks like a competitor for Digital Ocean, but DO is easier to use and just as cheap. IMO your landing page should make me say "I want to give them my money so I don't have to think about [problem] again."
I actually did some statistical analysis of what is supposed to be their hiring strategy and found this exact problem. They apparently use the strategy of always hiring above the mean (so new hires are better than the average employee). This does have some advantages, but I found that it ends up severely limiting growth when you take attrition into account.

It would probably be a lot cheaper to change their hiring practices to be less strict and reinvest some of that money in training.

Its not different, its not more complex, the employees are unremarkable, the hours are 10am-6pm, the engineers are still undervalued to the organization.

You can easily be in a team or circumstance that is more demanding, inspiring on your engineering journey, or even toxic. But you can just as easily coast.

The compensation is supposed to make it worthwhile not to do your own startup or project. So expect comp to continue rising.
If you check that box, then others run diligence and discover you've lied it's called fraud. Attitude like yours is why many early companies are obligating their investors to prove net-worth.
