The "correct" answer is that Margaret Hamilton coined the term "software engineering" while working on the Apollo program back in the 1960's. As a way of declaring that software people can have the same level of rigor and respectability as hardware people. This branding finally caught on in the 2010's.

However, to talk about the "real" answer, let me start by saying that I've been doing this for a little over 20 years now. When I first started out, my job title was "Computer Programmer".

After awhile, my title (and those of all my peers) changed to "Software Developer". After a laughably short period of time, it stretched into "Senior Software Developer".

After I'd been doing that for some years, my job title changed to "Software Architect".

After awhile, the industry decided to stop pretending that most architects do full-time architecture for a living. So my job title changed to "Staff Engineer", and then "Principal Engineer" when I started making too much money.

I don't know that the day-to-day activities of my job have actually changed all that fundamentally. I have a LOT more influence with Product Managers and executive leadership than I did in my early years, and I find myself doing more mentorship and informal leadership. But by and large, I think this industry just changes job titles every so often because: (1) it wants to stay trendy and copy whatever Google is doing, and (2) technology and H.R. play games with each other over salary bands. So I wouldn't meditate too deeply on it.

At least we're not ops or QA. It feels like those poor souls re-brand every six months, chasing after pay parity with the devs.
I ask myself why a Google account is mandatory to use it. It’s probably a shortcut to not have to deal with a credential database. However, neither I nor any of the companies I work for would even consider this product for this very reason, despite it appearing to be quite useful.
No, exponentially. I used that word precisely, because the mass ratio in the rocket equation is exponential in (delta V)/(exhaust velocity).
I use science twitter and, although I love the community for learning about new programs, fellowships, etc., I have noticed the the twitter alogrithm has been directing me to a lot of more negative science content. I will keep my twitter, but am really going to try to cognizant how when and how much I use it because I notice it gives me quite a negative feeling after being on it.
In the UK we (or at least I) never used the exercises from the text books - the lecturer sets their own questions and exercises.

So the exact page layout of the text books doesn't matter, and you can use any edition.

In general text books just seem to be less of a big deal in the UK. I remember reading all the classic text books, but the course didn't revolve around them. You could often pick which text books to read out of a selection.

And you just get them from the library.
You're arguing against yourself. I didn't say any of that.
It's digital, but still in the broadcasters FM allocation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio

It has nothing to do with 5G, which is a cell technology. 5G has low (600-900MHz) medium (microwave) and high ("mm wave"), and is far away from broadcast FM frequencies (USA is 88-108MHz)

This is not true. You can write AppArmor rules which can restrict pretty much everything. SELinux is also a thing, and introduces a lot of features that you can't see in the Windows for example.

Your right, looks like there was a debate about it all about 10-15 years ago but from the ARB:

I've noticed this some 14 years ago when doing mighty backpacking trip(s) in India. 2x 3 month trips, traveling all around that place with little plan and just return ticked, planning max few days in advance. Every day was so different.

It didn't feel like years after some time on the trip. More like I've switched whole reality, myself and everybody else. After some 2 months, life and reality back home was just a distant dream, too unreal to even consider seriously. Thank god it was before phones and wifi became so commonplace, it massively helped with that, writing an email once a week in some obscure internet cafe.

Coming back, it felt I've spent a lifetime away. Twice. Now I judge vacations on how it feels how long it lasted, the more it does the happier I am with deciding for it.
I actually recommend chasing lottery tickets to people who are in common jobs like customer support or social media engagement.

You could do those jobs practically anywhere, but fast-growing tech startups tend to pay relatively well (at least as well as established players) and throw in a lottery ticket.

If you enjoy wearing a variety of hats, like you'll need to in a smaller company, you might as well do a couple years each at a bunch of different startups and collect lottery tickets along the way.

People don't tend to get rich in support jobs, but a bonus of even a few tens of thousands of dollars can be a game-changer, and on the off chance you catch a ticket that ends up being worth a couple hundred grand (what happened to me that made me start recommending this!), it'll change your life!

Rarely will a customer support role be offered shares that are worth more than a couple grand at the time of grant, and it's not always worth sticking around the whole vesting period, but if you get in late enough that the company has proven product/market fit (Series A and following, at least a few dozen employees, 3+ years), it probably won't go all the way to zero.

Unfortunately that is not reality. Not even close, at least in my neck of the woods (Toronto, Canada)

Official government sites are largely static and slow to update.

Local emergency services, police, snow clearing, power and utility providers, etc all use Twitter for their most up to date posts anything else is hours or days behind if it gets updated at all.

I don't like that reality. I'd love to change that reality. I can not however wave it away :-/

In my mind the distinction is there, but it's gonna feel arbitrary no matter what. If I had to make an attempt I'd describe the developer as someone who writes code and the engineer as someone who writes the software level spec, sets the overall architecture/design, inputs on interface design and do declaration work (paperwork, really). I would assume most projects have people taking on both roles to certain extent.

I use Twitter to learn about tech, promote my stuff occasionally and nothing else. I have a similar rule for muting accounts that post things that upset me, or otherwise bore me. Same goes for anyone who retweets and likes those posts and it ends up in my feed.

When I am on Twitter, I don't care about US culture war stuff, I don't want to join you deplatforming everyone you dislike, I am not going to send you and your cat good vibes because you need a day longer to finish your Jira ticket. If I see posts like that, I automatically mute to keep me focused on things that matter.

I prefer the mute over unfollowing. I don't want to make a statement about you by unfollowing you (it can be tracked), I just decided that reading some of your tweets cause me more stress than the positive effect your other tweets bring. I don't dislike you, I just don't want to see you moan on Twitter.

It works well enough, but of course, there are some stuff that slip through.
This is likely because the approaches and techniques are not measurably different with a "2D" animated movie in 2022 or recently, unless they're doing some retro cel animation.

Disney's last was The Princess and The Frog (which is a very good one that predates the story-in-a-box Pixar plots), which of course was still partially made in the same animation software used by others at the time.

If Disney made another traditional animation movie I suspect it would be a lot like spiderverse: mostly an aesthetic change to the existing process.

Well good news: they don't bring out new versions as often any more for most subjects.

Bad news: they are pushing hard for ebooks that are drm'ed to hell so you can't resell them. And if they do still have paper books, increasingly they are moving to "loose leaf" editions which are "cheaper" because they are just loose pages which means they are much more likely get damaged so you can't resell those either. Or if they do offer actual books, they do "rentals" which means you pay most of the price but have to return them and so you have zero chance of being able to resell them.

But that's ok, I'm sure your local bookstore can help you. Oh wait, most college bookstores are now owned by Barnes and Noble and so they are just another corporate business...
How bad it really is?
>In fact, it takes 4,184 joules to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1 degree. Or 313800 joules to raise 1kg of water by 75 degrees. That means JET could have boiled about 188 kg of water.

This is missing the heat of vaporization[1] needed to actually boil the water though, i.e. to turn 100C liquid water to 100C steam. That's another 2250kJ/kg on top of the 313.8kJ/kg you've mentioned.

It's why steam is such a great carrier of energy for industrial applications.

I guess you could argue that you wouldn't evaporate all water in the kettle, but then you do want a rolling boil. It's probably a bit up for discussion at which point you'd stop heating the kettle.

I like them. They make me feel beautifully relaxed and allow me to get a wonderful night’s sleep. I used to take a dose once every week or two, and I would always wake up feeling wonderful.

They are horribly addictive and withdrawal can kill, as can OD and mixing with anything else has potential to kill, so clearly they aren’t without issues. But when used in a measured way I found them to be lovely.

I’ve never taken Xanax though, it’s a lot longer lasting than the stuff I tried.

This reminds me of Torvald's talk at Google about git, where he emphasizes how important it is to be able to change branches fast, reasoning that it will determine how git will be used in the future. There is a tremendous difference between five seconds and `instant` in our decision making. Since then I observed this behaviour in myself in countless daily routines.

Cool page (although I had to disable uBlock Origin to be able to see it correctly).

> There are 24 frames in one second of animation.

Why don't they target 60fps now?
I don’t know where you get those numbers from, but obviously animation price for both 2D and 3D are dependent on level of detail.

Naive calculation says that princess and the frog (disneys last 2D) was 100mill for 97 minutes, while Up (released same year) was 175mill for 96 minutes.

I don’t think either movie had particularly bigger stars than the other, so i think the overall budget ratio gives an okay idea of how far your estimate is off for cinema animation.

Right (I'm also providing links for other readers). However, when mentioning the "nanometers" process node as evidence for scaling (it was unclear to me whether you said that it implied shrinking, or there had been some shrinking in between the two), I feel like I have to mention that transistors haven't been meaningfully shrunk for years, although there have been plenty of innovations regarding their layout, and photolithography processes have gained in precision.

Transistors are still at the hearts of ICs, so every bit of efficiency gained there has tremendous impacts on system-level performance and efficiency.

Some of the biggest possible gains on the horizon might come from circuit designs, notably adiabatic computing.

NASA astronauts get mental health evaluations, so yes.

On the other hand, if you have your own rocket, I don't think NASA could stop you. (Though perhaps there's an FAA qualification for being a pilot? But not for supercargo.)

On the third hand, I don't see why the US would ban a American astronaut, launching on a Chinese mission. (While the US "could" in principle, eg, by sending a cruise missile to destroy the launch facility, I don't think that's your question.)

There's no technical difference. Titles are used in corporations to separate pay grades and hierarchy, so a "Software Engineer" might be higher up the food chain, but they do the same work.
