As a software "engineer" working in an engineering company, what I do is not even remotely close to engineering. Indeed the terms are interchangeable. I guess with the latter you can ask for more money? Back in my home country to be a SE instead of a SD you need to have gotten a master's degree from university. In practice there is no difference whatsoever.

Yes and no.

It's a computer algebra system, of which Mathematica is an example.

But the real power of Mathematica lies in its language.

SAGE wraps many libraries in a Python syntax, so the core language is different.

The "problem" (if it is a problem and not an intentional choice) is that these equity compensation comparison things are heavily skewed towards US companies.

Often inferring the company to be $ or requiring you to add a "State" (which is a US thing primarily, often it's a pre-filled dropdown).

Any chance of at least this one being a bit more wide reaching?

I think levels.fyi is a much stronger implementation of the same concept if it's only US based.
> Then students are forced to buy new books and the publishers can make big profits.

So it's the schools that are in on it and the primary target to put blame on. My university (in eastern EU) had majority of textbooks available for free. We could print them ourselves, have them printed at school, or just buy used. I'm sure it wasn't the case for all curriculums, but probably for many. Writing textbooks is one of the things teachers (professors) do after all.

You can actually extend it indefinitely, 42 bits is just the farthest you can go by trividally extending the bit patterns with the existing logic.

Disney make films - as part of a filmmaking process we might want to know why they make film X and not Y, why they depict characters a certain way and not others. Are filmmakers limited or directed in any way? Enquiring minds would like to know. Presumably if you were to view Soviet or Nazi propaganda films, you wouldn't consider it off-topic to ask about their provenance, or if the political orientation of their sponsors was evident, and if that is morally acceptable. Do you think Disney is immune?

Wireless radio (it will mean mothers no longer sing to their children), various genres of music over the years (will harm development of children), newspapers (in the 30s there was an obsession with young men reading newspapers rather than talking to their colleagues or family, like a mobile phone concern but in the 30s - if you Google this story you can find some impressive pictures of lines of men waiting at a bus stop and every single one is reading a newspaper).

It wouldn’t surprise me if kids are better adjusted to social media than adults. The kids don’t need to go through a readjustment period of trying to convert their expectations to the new reality.

Kids will still bully each other with or without social media. There will Still exist dangers which can’t be controlled without active parenting and an attentive society.

I see the attraction of banning social media below a certain age but i can’t help think that open discussion with kids would be far more effective.

As the partner of a complete paraplegic, sitting up and providing trunk control would be a huge benefit to newly injured patients. My partner had titanium rods but in their back 20+ years ago and the connections and bones are now wearing down. Allowing the muscles to provide trunk control would likely improve quality of life, increase mobility, and remove the challenges with arthritis from implants they put in spinal cord injury patients currently.

Indeed. I left for a significant period, came back when someone invited me to comment on a few things, and have gradually returned. I'm certainly not engaging or contributed at the level I once was, probably never will. I'm too far out-of-touch with modern programming systems and practices.

I think this is a risky take. Any company you work for will use dozens of tools and it is possible you will dislike one or many of them. Having said that, I'm tired of using Macs, and would love to work for a company that issues a Linux laptop :-). Unfortunately they seem to be hard to come by these days.
I've sat twice in the last month with my 9 year old to start making simple games with Scratch following a book someone got him for Xmas (Coding Games in Scratch
by Jon Woodcock).

So far it's going pretty well, the concept introduction and presentation seems well done and paced. He understands what we are doing and how it's done and naturally experiments by changing parameters and graphics. So he's learning and we are having some fun times.

I have not any special desire nor dislike about him becoming a full on programmer, but I keep seeing people around me in all kind of jobs that would be quite better off if they faced some of their tasks with a bit of a "programmer's stance" or could even write simple small scripts to automate stupid chores.
I don’t mind the formatting, I mind that the formatting is done depending on wether the list ends with a comma or not.

[
Item1,
Item2
]

Is combined to one line, while

[
Item1,
Item2,
]

Stays as multi line. Now I am once again in charge of formatting my code, by virtue of the comma. Does this stay multi line or is it short enough enough to combine? That should be for black to decide not me!
We each got a book to bring home, and then there was another set of the books kept in the classroom, and a few copies in the library.

That way we didn't have to lug our books back and forth to school and could just use the shared books in the classroom and our own books at home.

It seemed to serve us well and not stunt our growth!

Twitter does have a "latest tweets" option in the standard client which spares you from most algorithmic manipulation (reshuffling, trends, showing stuff someone else "like"d), though not paid promotion. Putting all of your "follow"s into a large Twitter list is another way to get similar behavior (which I've used on the mercifully rare occasions where I'm opted into an experiment that messes with "latest tweets").

It's too often overlooked that HTML is an acceptable* office file format.

Suppose that rather than a docx, you handed them what we might call a "doch": a self-contained (no external resources) .html file that includes more or less what you'd get by doing "Save as HTML" in a traditional office suite. This would work well enough on their end, no? They should still be able to double click to open it. The difference being that since the W3C/WHATWG specs involve a whole programming system supported by the browser, then you could also script a lightweight sidebar that they could use to add their annotations. The positive would be that, since you control the implementation and therefore the experience, you could (a) take the necessary steps to ensure that the alterations they're making follow a consistent format, and (b) can be more easily ingested by your tooling in a way that's compatible with your preferred workflow.

* close enough to cover the 80% of features where it matters (e.g. for media not meant for print)
Yes, but wasn’t the whole point not having to run the linter with options.

The trailing comma thing seems inconsistent with handing over the formatting to black. Now I’m in charge of deciding if a list should be cleaned up into one line or not.

What a weird argument. So your saying that the compensation is entirely based on supply and demand. That’s a fair starting point for a position sure. But you are then claiming that compensation is too high given the supply and demand… so which is it? Is it supply and demand or isn’t it supply and demand?

> Companies go with the high dollar rockstar CEOs for the same reason they select IBM or Oracle and pay up the nose for substandard results.

I get that your just projecting annoyance. But you do understand that plenty of companies chose to go with oracle and Java and turn a huge profit without issue right? I mean sure you could argue that company X could have saved money if they chose Haskel and Postgres, but for some reason all the major stable companies didn’t bet the company on a gamble of saving a couple of bucks in the tech stack and it worked out fine for them. It’s a very IT centric view to believe that the most important decision a company makes is weather they chose one or another tech stack and that the most important point is the cost. Exactly the kind of narrow focus that would have a CEO derail a company and wondering why no one is joining the new “social media platform” or what have you, even though he’s using much better tech than the competitor who just chose oracle and then focused on the real important focus points for his company.

And it might be hard to believe, but in any given company you’lol likely find 999 out of 1000 people with similar clouded judgement and biased views that could potentially kill the company, and the. You have the 1 CEO making all the decisions that you clearly disagree with, who’s “just some overpaid rockstar” but still the company not only survives, it grows. That’s worth a lot to a board, who ultimately set the pay range they are willing to pay to have that person at the captains seat.

There are a lot of ways to look at it. I think [1] is one of the better attempts and would suggest that the spread is much bigger for average jobs than for the highest paying positions, and that e.g. Scala, Rust, Perl or Go will earn you more money than Dart, JavaScript, PHP or Java. Also apparently jobs with DynamoDB pay almost twice as good on average (median) as jobs with Firebase; and Postgres or MSSQL pays better than MySQL or Oracle.

Programming only feels like vocational training because not everybody can do it. There was a time where writing wasn't a ubiquitous skill either, you'd actually have to hire someone to write something down for you.

Coding is a life skill, since most of us will need to use a computer for work in some capacity, what's the downside to teaching kids how to actually use it?

Not to say that muscle tears couldn't happen, but there are other senses that do kick in with practice and awareness to keep people safe.

Your username is literally "DestroyADHD". That doesn't sound open-minded and questioning. But let's leave that aside.

A psychological disorder is a set of symptoms that negatively affects several areas in the life of the person experiencing them. That's about it. We group symptoms that often coincide and give the groups names. Getting a diagnosis is a trained professional confirming that you 1) have the symptoms and 2) confirming that it negatively affects your life. That's it. The cause of ADHD -- whether it's caused by the hustling modern world, a multitude, or any other cause -- is entirely irrelevant to a discussion about the "real"-ness of the disorder.

And of course, finding a root cause for ADHD would be incredibly useful for preventing it and helping people with it. But if the cause was found to be the modern overstimulated world that doesn't change anything about the disorder -- it's just as real as if humans have been dealing with it for 200,000 years.
> Listening Is in Your Interest, Even If You’re Totally Selfish

To me this seems an obvious and important but surprisingly uncommon idea. I can't stop trying to explain this to others: if you don't really do your best to understand the other person you are wasting your own time. And you don't have to agree to them, just understand. Even if the other person is your enemy (especially if they are!), precise understanding of what and why do they think and feel is in your best interest.
Kelly criterion is the solution for optimal bet size with the assumption that utility is a log function.

While it's often modelled as such we know it's not perfect (utility of money is bounded or even goes downwards after certain point while log is unbounded) and more importantly utility of money is different for different people.

That means that, while being an important illustration of the concept of utility of money, Kelly is most likely not a good practical guideline for most people. Many professional gamblers for example feel that something closer to 1/2 Kelly or 1/4 Kelly is better but again it all depends on your personal situation and what money means to you.

In the command line in Windows you can still do magical things like, say you want to convert some videos in D:\Videos\ and ffmpeg is in C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin . You can open the command line and enter:

D: # changes to D: Drive

cd Videos # enter the Videos directory

cd "C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin"

At this point the prompt will still say D:\Videos>

and you can type "C:ffmpeg my-movie.avi" and Windows will execute ffmpeg from the "current directory" of the C: drive, but process the file D:\Videos\my-movie.avi .
