None of what you are saying makes any sense to me. This is another big problem in the software industry, that roles with the same name can vary wildly. A little bit like "agile" not ever quite looking the same and not ever quite working.

A program manager for me, any kind, relates to the function of leading and coordinating multiple interrelated projects, towards a common goal.
Blowback validates the wordlviee hardliners are selling; in a different context, that was pretty central to al-Qaeda’s strategy, where provoking blowback was a way of selling their clash of civilizations narrative.

Hardliners of all stripes tend to recognize and actively exploit blowback.
> if some people care that much that it is called “main” and not “master”, and I don’t really care either way, why not let them have that one

Because (besides being an extremely stupid change for the most tenuous of reasons) this imposes a one-sided US-centric view of the world.

+1. This was the first thing I tried to do and was surprised this feature doesn't exist. Most often, I don't encounter entire webpages in foreign languages, but rather small snippets of text.

I really wish that not every submission about anything C++ related would devolve into a full-on discussion about Rust. It keeps happening everywhere. Why do people have such problems with someone else using C++ for whatever they are building?
When I see Angular in a job description, I think "this is a legacy maintenance job." So not surprised you have trouble hiring :).
Things that people do or don't call "agile" presumably encompasses everything in the universe.

Ah! Nice. It definitely looks like you're correct. Thanks for the information and for following up.
I think TSA is mostly useless, but people really overblow how much of a pain it is to go through security for domestic flights. It's never taken me more than 45 minutes to go from dropoff to gate for a domestic flight, and most are closer to the 20 minute range (mostly just walking to the gate itself).

All of that not even being TSA-Pre.
Tree-sitter highlighting is interesting. I usually find emacs to have slightly worse syntax highlighting than other editors for most languages I use.

When I've mentioned this before someone usually explains why I am wrong and it is actually superior or whatever. I do not care I don't like it as much. It's nowhere near enough to drop emacs over but if this changes it I might prefer it.

No one is expecting, or seeking, major wins by being mindful of the pervasive nature of non-inclusive language.

But it's such a low-effort thing to do that there is actually no justification for avoiding doing the right thing.
Spinners. The problem with many applications that store state across the network is that they do not have a spinner. Far too often I tap or click something and there is no indication whatsoever that something is happening, that my action was registered. Sometimes with modern styling I don't even know if the thing I tapped was active. I always think then that the developer did not perceive it would be possible to not have an immediate connection to the mother-ship. I don't even live in a place with bad mobile or home Internet. I have 4G network all the time, 1Gb fiber at home and the same thing happens over and over.

Spinners even in local context are often necessary. We just want to see them less, but I think that for an interactive application there must be an indication that the app is responding to what I do. In local context I could have a slow disk or even a network connected storage. Also spinners that spin for 30 seconds giving no indication of why am I waiting or what for make me sad.
No, those were just the occasions I could find where we had posted warnings.

The parent comment died while I typed my response, so I'm just throwing it here to elaborate on your comment:

I'm not Indian, but I read a lot about this when the Cisco stuff came out. The gist that I picked up from interviews with Indians dealing with this was that there is A LOT of cultural background that you'd be very unlikely to know if you hadn't grown up in a certain caste.

A (likely shitty) analogy: You can learn about WWII all you want, but unless you were deployed it would be hard to fake that you were at a specific battle or did a specific training. There's probably minute details that were not written down, but people who were there would casually know. There may be habits or turns of phrase that would have been picked up. Maybe a certain landmark or destroyed thing that had a funny nickname. Maybe it's knowing a certain soldier or commander by a nickname that hasn't made it into the history books. "Oh you trained at X? Man I loved tuna Tuesdays even though noone would touch the stuff. Do you remember when private Y did..."

Through casual conversation, it's very difficult to keep the ruse up. Now if the interlocutor is actively trying to root you out its basically impossible. In the interviews I was listening to, the best case scenario was that the higher caste member came away not knowing what caste your from, but definitely knew you were not a Brahmin... Because if you were, you'd casually bring up X, Y, and Z and use these phrases and these gestures and and and...

Of course, I had never read Microsoft's Privacy Statement in full, but I've just stumbled upon the sentence in the Windows section which I interpreted as saying that Windows should no longer be considered as completely residing on your device:

"Rather than residing as a static software program on your device, key components of Windows are cloud-based, and both cloud and local elements of Windows are updated regularly, providing you with the latest improvements and features."

Ah gotcha. There’s a line break there for me so I didn’t catch it when I went back scanning for an R word.
Sweden is mapped that way because at some point they decided to do so, and any "unregistered land" became something - likely property of the Swedish government.

The UK has a much more ... involved understanding of land, and since it only has to be registered when sold (IIRC) there are large plats of land where the owner is not registered (even though it may be known).
I'm not opposed to fasting, but many things are wrong with this. Just to point out a few:

(1) A general "naturalistic fallacy" where the author believes that people of the past must have been more healthy.

(2) I assumption that there is an increase of cancer in modern age solely because of humans change of diet - ignoring factors such as environmental pollution, ozone depletion, increase in radioactive particles from weapons testing and accidents...

(3) Assuming that a change in mean is brought about by changes in every individual to the same degree. Differences in the mean can be produced by just a subset, even a minority of outliers. Today, many people are overweight, which is known to increase all kinds of risks. So caloric restrictions applied to the whole society will always cause a rise in mean life expectancy. But that doesn't mean that it will have any benefits for the people who aren't overweight.

(4) Confuses brain size with brain function. I guess the author then must also believe that women are significantly more stupid then men. Also fails to explain that people can sometimes lose a big chunk of their brains and still perform well on tests.

Again, I'm not saying fasting is bad, but that the author just throws together some unrelated scientific studies with a bunch of common fallacies (and, it seems, bias towards his own lifestyle choices).

Bah. I try to limit myself to a 6 pack a week, well under guidelines, but alcohol doesn't have a dramatically bad effect on mortality until you're in the 20 drink / week range.

I don't think alcohol is somehow better than anything else, but I don't think it's that harmful either until you get well beyond the 14d / wk max recommendation.

There are plenty of other factors like meat consumption and exercise habits that have a bigger effect. I'm not giving up one harmless vice for an infinitesimal benefit. We're all going to die of something.

That kind of thing is absolutely routine and police unions are almost certainly the single greatest obstacle to improved policing in the US. But the way things are right now the police unions are tremendously powerful, and so reform efforts have to cooperate with them and find common interests. Shortening the cycle time from an alleged violation happening to discipline being imposed or not is one of those common interests. Whatever my feelings might be, complaining about the unions isn't really conducive to the type of work I'm trying to do. I'm a political appointee (so I have and express my own opinions), but I serve as just one part of a broader system that requires cooperation between parties. I can only speak to that system (one of many different efforts towards more just policing), but it happens to be the one that is producing programs like the one the article covers.

Police reform is inherently political, and so you ought to take everything with a grain of salt. But it's important to understand the context: direct feedback is nothing new and basically everyone (including the unions) agree that we need more of it. At the same time, the impact that direct feedback will have is limited because performance and discipline is not generally "data-based" in any meaningful sense and the unions (to some extent reasonably given the valid concerns around automation and employment issues) will generally be opposed to efforts to change that. So the bad news is that this program is not some silver bullet that will fix policing, just one of many small steps.

On the flip side, the reason that I commented on much of this discussion being based on misconceptions is because of the huge number of comments pointing out edge case issues or potential perverse incentives. It's vanishingly unlikely in my mind that any of these will materialize because of the critical context that I'm trying to share: first that police behavior is very resistant to any change at all and there are powerful institutional forces against things like increased leniency as a result of this program (although it's not at all clear that this is really a good thing), and second that the downsides of this type of program in terms of bias and unreliable information are already fairly well understood because the program is not really new but an expansion of a decades old effort.

The irony is that I am not intending to say that this program is good because police departments are effective, although maybe that's how I came across. I intend to say that this program is good because police departments are extremely resistant to change and have no problem throwing out data that runs counter to their interests, so this type of data collection can only really help to validate concerns from oversight and professional standards personnel.

This article is a worthwhile read and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to hit senior/staff/principal engineer or above.

Technical skills are not enough. You’re not hired to write software; you’re hired to write software that solves problems. Once you realize this; you’ll develop skills that complement your technical skills and amplify your effectiveness and value.

Expecting to be given a requirements doc or spec and then delivering an interesting solution is rare. Building exceptional solutions requires you to intimately understand the problem space and how your software’s users will think, and solving the problems that they might not have even known about.

Anyway read the fine article.
Thank you, I honestly appreciate!

The GP presented these properties as if they are unique to progressives. It's not whataboutism to point out that they aren't.

If they'd simply attributed activism and an "everything is political" attitude to CNN, that would have been reasonable since this discussion is about CNN, but they decided to expand this attribution to to "progressives", which is a very different thing.
>The documents also show that on other occasions the monarch’s advisers demanded exclusions from proposed laws relating to road safety and land policy that appeared to affect her estates, and pressed for government policy on historic sites to be altered.

This is the social equivalent of "rewriting from scratch" and many people are (rightly) averse to it.

I think at least an attempt to explain one's expectations to one's friends would be warranted before plainly starting over with a new social group.
Private companies are often quite happy to fund an academic research group for a specific project. They also sometimes use this as a source of pre-vetted, competent future hires for R&D positions.

The focus is quite different in private companies and research institutions.

It's definitely frustrating. Culture, religion, sexual orientation, skin color, and politics often get combined into one, so it becomes impossible to criticize particular cultural or religious practices and beliefs without getting jumped on as racist or ignorant. This strategy of calling someone anti-X is a great way to end actual discussion about specific issues.
By oldest, probably the Foley "Principals of Graphics" or the later, slimmer Watt "3D Graphics" are ~'30years'+

If you're considering later books, probably Perlin/Musgrave/etc.'s "Textures & Modelling", Christer Ericcson's "Physics/Collision", and Pharr/Humphries "Physically Based Rendering" are probably 3 foundational books that are quite relevant to modern programming/simulation.

He sacrificed his position and salary at the organization he founded because he was the one with integrity. He refused to have his anti-Biden article about the Hunter Biden laptop blocked by The Intercept's editor:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-...
"The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation"

What it sounds like to me -- is that you disagree with Greenwald's political positions so are attacking his integrity with no evidence.
In the long run, I am a super huge fan of Mozilla and Firefox. I am using it right now. After a 10 year stint of using Chrome exclusively I now use Firefox as my main driver. Unfortunately I still need to keep chrome around for weird situations where the website developer only tested in Chrome (Yes this still exists. A shopping cart in a popular website - cough Home Depot cough cough - that recently failed me in Firefox worked in Chrome. I haven't tried in a couple weeks hopefully that is fixed.)
Richard,

I don’t have this one but I have a giant Craftsman that I keep in my toolbox to pry or whatever with.

A while back I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole of experienced electricians going through their tool bags and talking about what they had and why. Lots of Klein tools of course, they all seem to use Klein or Knipex (or both). But one guy called out the large flathead screwdriver that you can stick in your bag and use as a makeshift pry bar or chisel or whatever. I had one that came as part of a set from Craftsmen that I never used so I stuck it in my tool box. I’ve already used it a handful of times and it takes up almost no space.
wouldn't surprise me, having Russia as a vassal state solves almost all of China's potential problems. China is pretty much immune to most forms of sanctions or embargo that the West could do to try and punish them.

Management and executives are DEFINITELY underpaying us relative to what we bring to the table for them. This is true of every industry going on decades of increasing productivity and stagnating pay. What's new here besides greater awareness and labor churn? Will there be an actual change going forward? Of course the demographics favor workers now, but the laws and politics often don't. Immigration and outsourcing and automation can change that power dynamic very quickly. What're you going to do? Form a union? Start a company? Vote? Quit and work elsewhere? Interesting times we live in.

Maybe that is one of the reason headcounts have ballooned and complexity has increased so much -- an attempt to minimize individual impact. VCs and MBAs famously refer to this as the bus principle: what would happen if the key employee or executive got hit by a bus today? How would the company fare? The metaphor is quite telling in its priors, assumptions, and priorities.

All of my friends and aquaintinces in nursing, tax, retail, and trucking have a few people who are trying to break into programming because of the benefits and pay. Outsourcing, scope creep, and automation exist and are expanding in my industry as well. How long until this drags down programmers as well? With the potential end of this bull marker will programming compensation stop being the highest paid field? I do wonder and doubt.
