Potentially, but that's still not an argument in its favour. Why should there be an "algorithm" to begin with? Unless you have thousands of "friends", you do not need an algorithm to keep up with them, a chronological timeline works just fine.

If anything, maybe the algorithm should do the opposite and discourage arguments?
So true. I'll add that sometimes there is not really a mental model to be built for the code because there wasn't one when the code was built; too many programmers over the years, each with their own style.

The classic Italian/French MDs schools told simply 5 time HDL must be lower than LDL, but nowadays people want absolute numbers and interests around diets and meds just push debatable practice that might hold a bit of truth but are so vaporous to be a nonsense.

Also about diet remember that just in the recent history we are shifted, without really scientific proofs behind, from saying "eggs are good, eat them at least one a day" to "egg are bad, limit them"; "blue fish are the protein of the see, eat them much" to "blue fish are pollutants collectors of the see, avoid them| etc, mostly following some lobbyist PR campaign dressed as science so just talking about diet it's complex.

Again, the old school when medicine was not that much a business say: all animal foods help lower the LDL, so eggs, fish, cheese, meat help. Starchy foods (from potatoes to beans, rice, ...) do the opposite. Taking a global look from countries with more animal protein based diets and others with starchy foods based diets confirm that well, but such simple observations is considered flawed because there are too many variables in the middle, while no one really criticize modern studies that actually tend to fail proving anything, just claiming...

Management is about sensemaking. Management provides the last answer (if one is needed) for 'Why are we doing this?'. It carries accountability for calling 'when to stop', and in the obverse provides belief and is the backstop that 'this can be done'. It therefore also has accountability for changing constraints (money, scope, resource, time) if needed when asked.

Management ties contexts together, so other individuals don't have to ask infinite 'whys', they trust the manager has this covered.

Management can be done by individuals, within the team, or hierarchically. All can work.

Personally strongly disagree with 'managers typically have no skin in the game'. I find it is necessary to care about the outcome and the team and the customer when I work, but YMMV. Do agree that management is a support, though I prefer to use the analogy that it is the 'glue' role
When you are paid $500K in total compensation (and a majority of it paid in how well the stock is performing), most worker drones will just not care.

Golden handcuffs will blind you to the atrocities you are building. Or maybe the company has fully siloed off the teams. Maybe the worker drone doesn't know his/her project is actually being used to create these monsters. Either way, I have been resigned to not work for F(M)ANG companies. The engineering is beautiful, but the use of their work by the business is not.
I had this problem until I found an editor that had outlining as it's core design paradigm. Now, with the outline always visible, it's _really_ easy to navigate any length file.

Unfortunately, at one point I got so used to navigating with the outline that I ended up making a 1500 line function in C (I was an even worse C programmer then than I am now). Because of the outline, I could read and follow it easily, but anyone with a different editor was royally screwed :-(

Forcing developers to deal with mocks right from the beginning is critical in my opinion. Unit testing as part of your CI/CD flow needs to be a first priority rather than something that gets thought of later on. Testing locally should be synonymous with running your unit test suite.

Doing your integration testing deployed to a non-production cloud environment is always necessary but should never be a requirement for doing development locally.
It really depends

Without staging environment, your chance of finding critical bugs rely on offline testing. Not all bugs can be found in unit tests, you need load tests to detect certain bugs that doesn't break your program from correctness perspective, but on latency/memory leakage front. And such tests might take longer time to run.

Staging slows things down, but it is intended, it creates a buffer to observe behavior. Depending on the nature of your service, it can be quite critical.

Are you a male or a female? I have heard multiple women (friends, girlfriends, acquaintances) literally admit this. There is also a multitude of evidence that exists showing that the “theory” is not shocking in the slightest.

These women I speak of don’t consider it a bad thing. Why should you, a (presumably) male consider it that way on their behalf? Or anti-scientifically argue against truths that are too shocking for you to handle?
Actually I believe it is better to say randomness is a property of a sequence of numbers. So a "random sequence" has members chosen independently of each other, but all from the same probability distribution. And random number generators create random sequences which follow a given distribution.

2 questions:

1) What happens if you're 1 year into a 3 year program and see that it's veering off course? Maybe folks are gaming the system, or there's a flaw in the program that's limiting its effectiveness. Do you still have the ability to change the program dynamics? Would version 2 only get a 2 year run then?

2) What does the 3rd party have the authority to do? Can they shut down the program or mandate changes? What's to stop activists at an organization from re-running a program even if it got a negative report from a 3rd party?

I've worked at a few large social media platforms. The number one thing you realize is content moderation is hard. It doesn't scale well, human moderators aren't necessarily better than AI, and you're going to make people mad at you one way or another. Mental health issues of users are also complex. Different people might find the same content empowering or triggering.

To Dorsey's point, I understand how people miss smaller, federated communities of the early internet, but those don't scale. If you want a platform with the potential to reach everyone with an internet connection, it's going to get dumbed-down, and so will the conversations. Or you can build federated echo chambers.

90% of the criticisms you hear are armchair quarterbacking that's easy to ignore.

As if this wasn't enough of a headache, GDPR regulation requires more safeguards before you can put your prod-data in a secured staging environment.

Then there is the database size, which can make it hard and expensive to keep preprod up to date.

And should you want to measure performance, then no one else can use preprod while that is going on.
> From my perspective in the US the lockdowns were about managing hospital capacity

And yet there is scant evidence hospitals ever were at risk. We should have relaxed our approach to all this when cities across the country were closing their unused field hospitals. Instead of celebrating the fact that covid wasn't nearly as lethal as the earliest models predicted, governors across the country doubled down on their covid restrictions. Two years later, they are finally almost gone.

Did any of these restrictions provide enough benefit to justify their immense social cost? It will probably take much cooler heads to find out. It troubles me that we went into this mess with little understanding if the measures even worked. In effect, we took millions and millions of people and had them partake in a massive uncontrolled experiment without anybody's consent.

> It astonishes me to see people defending the idea that the pandemic is not a notable component of this. I agree that social media, internet porn, competitive school environment, economic conditions, etc., are all negative influences on teenage mental health. However, to propose that forcing (or, at the least, very strongly encouraging) an entire populace into self-isolation would not have negative impacts for a group in one of the most social and formative times of life, is absurd.

It shouldn't be so astonishing. People who wanted to take a laissez faire approach to COVID (especially pre-vaccine) would often incoherently throw literally every idea they could think of against all the mitigation measures, including various mental health arguments. Of course, that approach didn't change a thing except 1) lead to more polarization, 2) harden people against those arguments forever.

COVID was a serious problem, and it's rare that serious problems can be addressed without cost.
It shows they earn more by getting more degrees than men, thus fewer are taking lower paying jobs that women typically dominate outside of degreed work.

What it doesn't show is that business are treating women better. Maybe they are, maybe they havent treated them as badly as the wage gap politicians want you to think they still are, and maybe things like paternal leave are starting to make a difference.

There's nothing actionable, no way to draw any meaningful conclusion, because it is observing the world through a fog of uncontrolled variables.

It seems like a challenge to tune anything to the exact resonant frequency of the caesium, since it's an attempt to find a maximum output. My first thought was to take multiple measurements at different frequencies and curve fit the response to get a maximum. But then you'd have to somehow compensate for differences among sources and maybe detectors.

Hill climbing to the top is challenging.
What does it mean to prioritize a career?

There are a lot of career obligations that aren't fundamental to productivity. For example, people are largely expected to go to an office and be physically present for eight consecutive hours. This makes certain kinds of childcare activities impossible. But if instead flexible hours or work-from-home were the norm, this choice would no longer be necessary and it no longer becomes a "one or the other" situation.

Consider something like the idea that pumping at work is unprofessional. This is a 100% cultural thing. Pumping does not make somebody less productive. But if we don't consider this cultural influence we might just say "well women just choose to stay at home when they have infants and there is nothing we can do about that."
> When asked to confirm that the change was made based on “guest feedback” and not the article, the representative for Six Flags responded, “That’s correct.”

I don't know why people even bother with this kind of question. Companies will straight up lie to you even if you know they're doing it and just brazen it out if you call them on it.

Maybe the article indeed didn't drive the change (and I could believe it, it's probably not a major cost to have that one guy doing it), or maybe it did, or maybe they're weaseling out because it wasn't that exact article. But, the time when I would believe a single word of something like this is firmly in the past.
> If we didn't do the lockdowns then we would have seen a huge increase in mortality over all age groups as hospitals where overwhelmed.

This is just wishful thinking. There is no real way to know if lockdowns had any material impact on hospital capacity. And besides, we had field hospitals set up in the early days... though they were all closed because they didn't get used. Hmmmmm....
The article doesn't talk about any of that though. The article says staging diffs prod because of:

> different hardware, configurations, and software versions

The hardware might be hard or expensive to get an exact match for in staging (but also, your stack shouldn't be hyper fragile to hardware changes). The latter two are totally solvable problems

Yeah, but the function only had a single exit point, so it was following best practices.
It is possible.

But you need infrastructure and paying delicate attention to this problem. It is hard to define exactly what does replicating prod mean. And sometimes it might be difficult, e.g. prod might have access controlled customer data store that has its own problem, or it is about cost. But doesn't necessarily mean if you can't replicate perfectly, it is useless, you can still catch problems with things that you can replicate and do go wrong.

Ofc it is impossible to catch bugs 100% with staging, however, that argument goes either way.

The most strangely maintainable code, though I should probably put maintainable in scare quotes, I have ever seen was a astrophysics code that calculated the changes to spectrum during interactions with background fields. That thing hat two loong nested loops, in the outer loops it calculated local backgrounds, and the inner loop was basically a Euler solver that used the backgrounds from the outer loops.

The outer loop was something like 4 kLOC, and consisted of blocks where there were first 20 lines of loadTable(filename) calls, then a call to calculateLosses( <all the tables just loaded> ) and then freeTable( <just loaded tables> ) calls. The inner loop was a little bit of setup and then a very long part where all those losses would be subtracted from the spectra.

The funny thing was, that once you got the structure, that code was actually not that bad. However, I told my boss several times that the second something comes along and doesn't exactly fit into that pattern the entire thing will blow up, and was always told that they maintain that code for 15 years and that didn't happen yet.
