There are plenty of stories from famous financial people who were initially hired as analysts at various banks/news agencies which go like this: so on my first day I was told "from today you cover Apple/Euro/gold market. But I don't know much about that. Doesn't matter, just give your best." And I'm not talking about the 80s, but even people doing this after 2007.

You are right about what+context, buy you don't really need analysts for that, to tell you what market moved and what economic event happened before that.

> Is your computer science curriculum more accurately described as a software engineering curriculum?

Given that most CS students want to go into software engineering, it would surprise me if this isn't the case for most CS curriculums. In my experience CS students don't generally want to be scientists, so most CS classes are more application-oriented than proof-oriented.

Schools are starting to provide separate software engineering programs, but we're not all the way there yet.
>Round up by default? If someone has an 89, just give them the 90. Honestly, who cares if a few students come up to you and want regrades, I imagine it takes all of 30 seconds to cross out the old grade and add the new one. How onerous...

Ahh, here speaks someone who's never taught a class :) If word gets out that you round 89 up to 90, then next you'll be dealing with all the people who got 88.5. At some point you have to have a grade boundary. It may just as well be at 90 as at 89 or 88.5.

In high school I had a chemistry teacher who offererd that the grade submitted at the end of the year would be the greater of your grade with and without homework. He also warned that only occasionally the latter is a benefit rather than a harm. This intrigued me so much that I did the homework and didn't submit it in order to get a bad homework grade and overall top marks in the class. Anonymous grade info was posted on the wall periodically, everyone wanted to know who had the zero in homework.

My grandfather, when he was in his mid 80s, once said something to me like "you never stop being his dad, and he never stops being your son", when talking about his own father, who was in his 50s or something at that point. He wasn't being sentimental, he was saying that he was always in the role of trying to provide advice to his son, being older, and his son was always in the position of going to him for advice and looking to him for help.

I guess your comments reminded me of that in the sense that you always have something to learn from people who went before you. Sometimes they have made mistakes you don't want to repeat, and sometimes you all collectively face things no one has faced before, but usually people who are experienced have some wisdom to impart.

Sometimes I think agism is partly a sign that the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of assuming everything we do is new. The Chesterton's Fence analogy in the original post is apt in this regard.
One can dream but I highly doubt, Russian history is littered with autocrats and tyrants. Brief periods of even nominal democracy have also been highly unstable. The deep rooted ‘russian greatness’ is a very fertile ground for populists.
Many of my CD's are from the 1980's. I am listening to one right now. It sounds just like it did when I bought it. I have several hundred CDs and to my knowledge none of them are unreadable.

The only issue I have run into is using really cheap CD players. Some of the earliest CD's were manufactured using sub-optimal material and manufacturing processes and have always had a very slight warp to them even from the day I bought them. The really cheap CD players most notably Wonnie have trouble compensating for this.

Is that really memorization? Memorizing multiplication tables is one thing. Practicing the techniques over and over isn't memorization imo. In grad level maths, you are solving proofs pretty much, you can't just memorize facts in a textbook to do that.
> My rhetoric got a bit over my head, but I really think that every (healthy) newborn human has the potential to become what is called a "genius". This is the norm.

I really have to disagree with this take. Sure, nurture has a huge effect, but similarly to how I could train all my life and do improve day-by-day, I would never be an olympic gold medal winner, intelligence ought to be the same way. You do need a good basis on which you can build. There are plenty of people having extraordinary discipline, they can achieve impressive results, but they won’t be geniuses without having talent on a fundamental level. But of course, talent is not enough either without practice.

I actually interpret this as Twain saying that his father was a jerk, but that said father managed to mature with time.

You can't address the underlying problem that a difference in an A and a A- could very well have lasting effects on a person's life.

You can't address the underlying problem of someone making it to their late teens and being a little shit.

You can't address the underlying problem that some people don't even really want to be in your class but "have" to take it because they want a degree.

You can't address the underlying problem that some students have spent the last 19 years rules-lawyering their parents and always getting their way.

You can't address the underlying problem that any concessions you make for the 20 year old mother of two struggling with two full-time jobs on top of college will also be vehemently claimed by the stoner 20 year old with a parent on the Board and who thinks college is awesome except for the classes.

You can't address the underlying problem that the university gave you a class size three times what it would need to be for you to be able to provide each student with the requisite attention to really address anything other than "did they meet the criteria".
As far as I can see, there isn't a single waste incident anywhere in that list.

It kind of looks like you googled for something, didn't read it, and started arguing.

Looks like the only thing even mentioned there is that in the 1950s, there was an incident, and someone who isn't a doctor made an estimate that some cancer deaths might have happened later. Amusingly, it's the same person who predicted 20 million deaths from Chernobyl, and still insists they happened and are being covered up.

Can you tell me which specific disagreement you see there? I'd like to think you're not listening to the guy who says there were three secret holocausts worth of death in the 1990s.

Everything I’m hearing about Mariupol is the opposite of what I want to hear. It’s an absolute disaster that’s ratcheting up day-by-day. The Russian army is using modern artillery to conduct medieval siege warfare. They’re deliberately starving the whole population to death and the city (like most cities today) had zero preparations to deal with a siege.

We’ve got to find some way to get these people supplies!

I agree that's a pretty strong statement to make but most of the accidents didn't have anything to do with the "waste" and more with the fuel and reactors. I would argue we're not talking about a lot of people though, compared to the billions that climate change is going to affect not to mention the millions that are already affected by pollution and other carbon-based energy production effects.
For my team, the WAF wasn’t about protecting us but rather reducing the amount of junk we saw coming from the public internet to our service. We’d get lots of weird payloads that would cause Nginx or Rails to throw an error even though they weren’t causing any breaches.

The WAF took away at least 99% of our random nighttime pages from the bad payloads. Best investment we made for oncall quality of life.

> gradual North Koreanification of Russia with Putin at the helm

Which would still be pretty effective in preserving the current international order. If it becomes exceedingly clear that threatening your neighbors militarily means turning your country into a new North Korea at best even if you have nukes, that will deter future leaders from trying the same.

(The nukes part is very important because the only thing keeping the current non-proliferation equilibrium in place, at least among developed countries, is an understanding that nukes are only useful to defend against other nukes. Russia's overt threats in the context of this "operation" would otherwise put that equilibrium at serious risk.)
Practically speaking, QEMU needs a lot of OS functionality, such as scheduling, threading, virtual memory, and network, disk, and filesystem drivers, to be able to function. Xen does have these, but so does Linux, and KVM just exposes hardware virtualization as a module from Linux.

I agree that is a very common scenario in general, and I have seen it happen myself many times. But intro mentioned that the scope of the article was about firing engineers.

> Now we move on to a completely different topic, and maybe not the most pleasant one: about when engineers get fired.

So in context of the article’s purpose I think it is a fair representation - I very rarely see firings related to “wrong person for the moment” for engineers. But I very commonly do see firings for poor performance in engineering which, as the industry’s overzealous interview practices may suggest, is difficult to discern in an interview.

Even if you disagree with my perspective, I do still think you do yourself a disservice by jumping to the hyperbolic “it’s terrible” instead of writing your feedback in a more constructive manner, like you did in this subsequent comment.
Eh. Most of it’s in the air, where you can’t see it. Or in your lungs. Either way we clearly don’t need to deal with it.

Instead there are strokes, myocarditis, thrombosis, facial paralysis, etc.; most of them in age group 30-50 that has comparatively small covid risk ( U Oxford numbers: qcovid.org ).

> In my understanding these are reports submitted voluntarily by regular people after market release, who saw a connection to the medication. See section 2 point 1, „Methodology“.

Right, just because they saw an association doesn't mean there is one. There might be one, but once more, that's the next step.

NYC had a law for decades that a licensed cab must take a passenger to any location in the five boroughs. In practice, late night cabbies would never take you to the boonies as the ride back is unprofitable dead time.

They’d ask you, “where you going?”, before you got in the cab and drive off if they didn’t like the destination. Experienced riders would ignore the cabbie, enter the cab, and then explain the destination. Then when the cabbie argues with you, you’d cuss them out and tell them to drive before you call the taxi commission to get their medallion revoked.

While many of us do miss the fun of those arguments, not having to deal with that is one big plus that Uber blessed the world.

> I still don't understand why you don't just mark their answer from creatively misinterpreted instructions wrong and move on with life

Because the actual incidents are often in fuzzy areas where it seems possible the teacher's instructions were confusing. You're stuck making a character judgment of your student instead of evaluating knowledge. Over a career, it becomes easier to cordon off fuzzy areas than it is to risk a moral challenge.
Absolutely. In my experience teaching in college, this is the correct approach.

A very useful thing to have, both for teachers and students, is a "rubric": a succinct description of how the work will be evaluated, and the importance (weight) of each feature.
It's a bit more than an unusual 3rd term. He pretty much declared himself a dictator for life last time with the alteration of the constitution. I guess it's just my opinion, but I doubt any dictator for life is going to let go of that status regardless of any party politics. He already disapeared most of his opposition last time. The facts that he's bad for China will have no influence on his dictorial control this time. That's what being a dictator is all about.
It's really not.

Not many things rely on DNSSEC. Things that do rely on DNSSEC usually tend to have their own verifying resolver. (Because the idea of "we need signed DNS records, but we'll let google check that and maybe not even encrypt our connection to google" is not a very good one.)

Note that even within the USA, complications arise when you live in one state and work in another.

Some (many?) states have mutual arrangements where you can take a tax deduction for income taxes paid to another state, but I don't think they all do. You might end up paying double taxes! And even if the two states do have an arrangement, your employer might not set up tax withholding correctly between the two states, so you have to carefully check your W-2s to make sure you didn't overpay (or underpay, leaving you with a big bill in tax season) throughout the year.

Also, health coverage tends to be very state-specific, so you might get stuck with less-than-ideal coverage for your local health providers if you're on a health plan intended for another state.
I also think there's always going to be a question of which students you are optimizing for. I had a professor that didn't have an attendance policy, but at the start of every year he would show a scatter plot of class attendance versus final grade with a fit line showing decent correlation. Of course if you looked closer, the effect was mostly that very good attendance led to A's. Low attendance was a crapshoot on the plot, with every letter grade represented including many of the A+'s.

The students that attended didn't need an attendance policy because they were inclined to attend anyway. The question is how much forced attendance would have improved the scores of the bad performance/low attendance group versus how much it would have hurt the good performance/low attendance group (including missed opportunities at the same time slot). I don't see a policy that realistically helps all of the struggling students without hurting any of the top students, so a tradeoff has to be made.

Perhaps offering attendance as extra credit without making it a penalty could be a good middle ground, but I don't think it would help all of the low attendance/poor performance students. By the time they realize they need extra credit they would already be behind, and they may not care about an extra credit offer at the start of the semester.
That two things both involve politics does not, by itself, imply they cannot be usefully discussed separately. You need to actually argue that the issues the author discusses go away or become moot given the imperfection of real-world evaluation. It is not enough to argue that the world would look different were perfect evaluation possible.
I wish that getting fired would not carry so much stigma as it does today.
I got fired 3 times in my early career. 2 of those times I believe were completely unfair, only 1 time made sense because I had burned out and lost motivation (also, the company wasn't doing well financially). In all of these cases, getting fired was a valuable life experience.

The 2 times which were unfair, I learned that people can be unjust, spiteful and irrational; I learned to recognize and avoid working for such people later in my career.

The time when I got fired after burning out, I learned to be more attuned to my own feelings and to never allow myself work on something that I don't enjoy. It made me more selective about opportunities.

Tellingly, none of the places I got fired from ended up succeeding... On the other hand, one of the startups which I spent the most years working for is doing quite well.

Every time you get fired, you can learn something important; maybe you were overly ambitious and your skills don't yet measure up to the role or you made a poor choice when it came to company selection.

Getting fired can mean a lot of things, not only negative things. Aiming high can be seen as a positive attribute. Being willing to step outside of your comfort zone can also be seen as a positive (even if it didn't work out). I always learned a lot, even if sometimes I was learning by counter-example; by observing other people's mistakes as well as my own.

Also, people need to feel pressure in their lives. We need to learn how to fall and how to get back up. It's OK to fall. It's good to assert yourself and take risks, even if it means putting yourself in the firing line.
2-3 years of regular training is a good guideline for the movements to become autonomic in real-time situations with fluent synchrony situational context, for someone reasonably coordinated at the start.

It's amazing that Sea Monkey, Palemoon, and all the other forks which support XUL have managed to do so securely with incomparibly smaller teams. Multiple proofs of the falsehood of your claims already exist.

Mozilla got rid of XUL because it wouldn't work with the multi-process model of Chrome they were copying in order to speed up the browser for running complex javascript applications. The security justifications were nonsense. The real security problems are in supporting all the new attack surfaces that modern browsers do in the form of exposing bare metal (or just above) functionality for acting as an OS (webgl, websockets, etc) instead of a browser.
True, and I wouldn't limit this to only be about my own parents, but more broadly about all kinds of people like teachers, coaches, aunts and uncles, older co-workers, people in the news... even slightly older siblings who had kids a few years before I did.
