"Netherlands enjoy the highest subjective measure of life satisfaction among all OECD countries. Perhaps one reason is that their mothers are also among the most likely to work part-time."

I'm from the Netherlands and can confirm that the 1.5 model is very common. Typically the man has the full-time job and the wife works part-time and combines it with care for the children on the other days. On days where both parents work, often grandparents help out, if not possible it's daycare, which soon will be made free.

Cynical people may think of it as a semi-old-fashioned model, but I couldn't disagree more. I know many such couples and these women see this as a "best of both worlds" situation where they both contribute to society and have invaluable quality time with their children. Some may start to work more hours once the kids are in school, but many just stay on this lifestyle, or then proceed to take care of aging parents. Quite a lot have a job in care, which means altogether their lives evolve around being with people and caring for them. They want to live this way and provide an invaluable service to family and society.

Men often have a parent day, which is one day of unpaid leave per week for the first 2 years. Another variation of the model is 2 x 4, where both parents work 4 days as it slowly gets more acceptable for men to work part-time too.

The important part is of course to have options, so that each can find their own ideal balance.
It dawned on me when I hit the Majestic query page [1] and saw the link to "Commission a bespoke Majestic Analytics report." They run a bot that scans the web, and (my opinion, no real evidence) they probably don't include sites that block the MJ12bot. This could explain why my site isn't in the list, I had some issues with their bot [2] and they blocked themselves from crawling my site.

So, is this a list of the actual top 1,000,000 sites? Or just the top 1,000,000 sites they crawl?

From my experience in the digital health sector, concerns for privacy is always the reason given for not sharing anything valuable and/or useful to others. But it's just a convenient way of hiding the 'desire of commercialisation'.
That is the kind of criticism that the idea of a constitutional republic got back when all we had were kingdoms.

There was a story where an employee was fired by mistake. It was an automatic procedure and he had all his access revoked, computer and physical.

No one could un-fire him, the only solution was to hire him again as if he was a new employee.
> Surely you can see that the P&W approach is only going to discover a subset of problems that will affect the engine in the wild.

Keep in mind that my former job was designing gearbox parts for the Boeing 757. This included doing the math, and devising a test plan. I've spent a lot of time on "what could go wrong" scenarios in the real world.

Also, when I prepare slides for a coding presentation, the implementation code for a concept gets trimmed way down to what will fit on a slide.
> There is a 'FB' in every successful VC fund.

Tautologically. There isn't a facebook in any failing VC fund. So it's really unnecessary to talk about VC strategies at all if you're going to define a successful strategy as having once invested in some whale early and ignore all of the other failures, it's sufficient to just ask for a list of the investors in things that did well and declare them shrewd.
Yeah at some point it doesn't matter who's at fault. It matters who will make the change. We tend to think the entity at fault is the entity that needs to remedy the situation. Whoever or whatever you believe is at fault, the person who is responsible for the change is always you. It's easy to blame something and then also mentally picture that thing / or person as the one in charge of fixing the problem.

So maybe the motto is:
It's not your fault but it IS your responsibility.
I think my actual argument is clear. People who didn’t read the article are criticizing it because it appears on her sub stack. Based on their criticism of her, they have never actually read her writing but are engaged in a moral panic about wrong think.

For example people in the thread are calling her an anti-vaxer even though she’s on the record encouraging people to get vaccinated.
Earth is not big enough to fully eclipse the sun at the L2 point, but it doesn't matter anyways since JWST was deliberately put in an orbit around the L2 point that never enters the earth's eclipse for energy reasons since the solar panels are not large enough to provide sufficient power during an eclipse.

I understand that argument, but don't think it holds much water in US at least, I suspect all the relevant institutions including courts and congress could care less what El Salvador tries. If it had been a peer country, different story I suppose.
>Even in middle school history class we were taught that the 1930's rise of fascism wouldn't be possible without the economic downturn that preceded it.

The rise of the today's Russian fascism has followed exactly the same path as in Germany back then - a lost war (Afghanistan and Cold War) resulting in the crash of empire followed by a decade of economic hardship resulting in the rise of a "strong man" regime with all the same trappings of revanchism, "master nation" ideology, total suppression of basic liberties and democratic institutions, etc. (even the triggers used by the regime to grab the total governmental power are very similar - Reichstag fire in Germany and the FSB bombing of apartment buildings in 1999.) And so far we've had annexation of Crimea being extremely similar to the annexation of Sudetenlend back then, and the current stage - Ukraine invasion - is the start of the actual implementation of Lebensraum (Polish invasion back then) - last time it led directly to WWII, and i don't see how we can cheat the historic logic this time.
If you define strategy as choices/decision/capabilities which involve competitors, as opposed to "important", it doesn't have to be "very few projects". Very few strategic choices, but often a lot of projects to implement those choices. "Important" and "strategic" really aren't synonyms.

Walmart likely has 100's of projects under way which are focused on keeping prices low. They are all strategic because Walmart's strategic choice is to offer every day low prices. The probably have 10 projects underway related to updating their HR infrastructure - not strategic. Walmart's strategic choices are constrained - but once they made the choice to compete on price, hundreds of projects are strategic to them.

At Google, there has always been a fear/focus on the endpoints/clients. In Porter's terms, it's a fear of customer control, where the customer is a distributor rather than the end customer (Google search has about 3 or 4 customer sets, so it's not a perfect analogy). And it's a rational fear because if they don't control the browser or client, they are at risk of bing/others displacing them, or having to pay a fortune to be the default search engine in a browser (like they pay apple billions every year). There have been dozens of projects at Google which have more or less been "well if this is the interface of the future, we better be in it so we can keep search there". All these efforts are strategic. Sundar Pichai has been behind several of these efforts, because he gets it.

Calling Chrome "strategic" didn't sound stupid to anyone. Calling the self driving car "strategic" would have sounded stupid to everyone.
Those are well designed systems in heavily regulated markets that go through extensive testing phases. Equating copilot with that is a mistake.
IMHO the best reason to get a master's is because you want one. For you. Not to fill a spot in a resume or check off a box on some application. You can go learn all of it yourself with self-study if that's what you're after (much of the curriculum and lectures are freely available), and I really think the value to a potential employer is fairly limited aside from some narrow corner cases. And if you fall into one of those cases you probably know it already.

So get it if you think the feeling of satisfaction and achievement is worth it. The major cost by far is not money, but time, be aware.
Transmitted anywhere in milliseconds also means transmitted to a lower cost country, so be careful with this flexibility.

Corporations as structures aren't going away.

Over the centuries, they spread from England to the rest of the world because they play an important role quite well: they allow people to pool their resources for a common project while protecting their non-invested personal assets from potential bankruptcy.

People want to do business. People want themselves and their families to be protected from utter financial ruin if their project fails and ends in bankruptcy. People want to maintain some kind of continuity in businesses even if an important individual dies or becomes incapacitated.

Legal personae - corporations - are the solution to this set of requirements, whose functionality has been tested by centuries. They will outlast us for this reason alone.
Not really sure what to make of this and your other comment other than you’re off your meds
I believe that the duplicated post you see in the dreadful forum is the accepted answer. It's displayed right after the question but also on the timeline of all the posts. For a long time this confused me a lot and I still find it jarring.
The post is called technical writing for developers and then the post starts off with the very topic that intimidates and discourages a lot of developers / engineers: grammar. Putting it at the top implies it is the most important idea (see the journalism principle of the inverted pyramid for rationale). That is the red flag. My usage of that term is the same as yours. My point is precisely to not let worries about incorrect grammar stop developers from trying to create documentation. Focusing on grammar is textbook "missing the forest for the trees". There are so many more important / more fundamental ideas in technical writing than grammar. Of course you will eventually need to learn grammar to become an expert technical writer.
Damn, they're pretty good products
No, that is at best partially incorrect. Worst case wrong.

Esp32-s2 has 3 low power sleep suspend modes. For the speed of the dual 240mhz processors are monsters with ~4mb of ram. Xtensa core is among best in class, but could be overkill for the application wheres STM, etc. might have a smaller much lower frequency chip that is. A lot of the esp32 dev boards also have bigger than necessary "protect the processor" type components which burn power too.

Raspberry pi burns way more power than esp32 per clock cycle (its a little toaster) but nobody complains about that.

I suspect the complaints are by hobbyists using arduino on s2 which can't/dont access them. (requires c++)

Riscv as architecture is not power efficient yet, give it time - the fact riscv exists at all still blows my mind.
Except Elon Musk went to Twitter with a seller-friendly request and signed away his right to due diligence.

Twitter never "lied" about anything. Heck, they barely negotiated anything at all. Elon Musk arrived, bought 9% of the company (and had a number of SEC violations while doing so since he didn't file various forms in time), and then threatened to enter into a hostile takeover of Twitter.
Holy shit this thing badly needs both an editor and a tl;dr.

Also, losing 10 lbs in a month is nothing to write home about as most diets will have you shed water weight, up to 8 lbs in less than a week. Reducing carbs or salt are the two easiest way of doing so. Something most experienced/serial dieters would know, but makes for excellent clickbait.

Doing the OMSCS program for Georgia Tech and interviewers always comment on how that's impressive. It's a rigorous program, and I definitely think it's helped me grow as a developer.
You'd kinda hope so
> Is it so hard to imagine that some people get genuinely inspired by stories of other people's successes?

It's impossible not to imagine. That's the purpose of propaganda, to move people.
It takes obvious effort to overcome received habits from one's local idiolect, as for example underclass people did in England, last century, deliberately adopting an (imperfectly reproduced version of) the overclass rhotic affectation in an attempt at economic advancement.

You are getting really disingenuous, now. Who are you performing for?
The scanners!! This is incredible!
> For example, some of the qualifying courses included programming MIPS in assembly language, binary numbering systems, algorithms with assumed knowledge of Big O, data structures, dynamic programming, etc. There is no way anyone without both a good undergrad CS degree and some dev experience could legitimately pass these courses

What? Of course you can. Like any other subject it takes study and practice.

What happens very often in school, though, is you focus full throttle on the subject matter to get a good grade. That knowledge is extremely fragile, likely to be lost to the wind within weeks.

Day-in, day-out experience solidifies that knowledge, but you can pass nearly any CS class with bare minimum Python and surface level linear algebra / calculus knowledge.

I have an MSCS in machine learning and am not practicing daily, so if you ask me to do linear regression without a library I'm gonna be in trouble.

I'll probably struggle with Big O on some algorithms without putting a lot of thought into it.
I'm guessing the OP is bashing OMSCS based on Reddit comments from people who tried a course, found it difficult (because, hello, it's actual graduate school at a real university), gave up, and are now spreading negativity on the internets about something they only gave a half-assed try.

Sure, there are negatives of learning at-scale. Grades are going to be exam-driven (noisier) because papers/independent projects don't scale as easily, which means there's a chance that you do everything right and get a B. Sure, some of the videos are a couple years out of date. Overall, though, I've taken two GT OMSCS courses and so far the quality has been very high... and the professors, in my experience, are also constantly trying to make the experience better and more flexible.

Im not sure every governments voting system is comparable. THe nature of the parties certainly plays a factor. American R and D parties are so heavily polarized and unable to work together, and the existing voting system does not provide a path out of that. Yes other countries have other parties, but other systemic issues affect how viable they are.
I’ve been reading way too much Scifi lately and interpreted this headline differently than intended.
They don't make money on the hardware and have no incentive to make the subscription look like a bad deal because of short hardware life cycle.

The hardware manufacturer is a different story. They love nothing better than to collect a laptop price tag on a laptop replacement schedule while only having to deliver a chromebook performance and absolutely zero os/software related customer support or windows license.
One of the teams I manage does use a 'plan build ship' system. The cycles are relatively short though. The whole plan, build, ship cycle is about 4 weeks. But it's a little more complex than that. I do the planning for the next cycle while the team is working on build and ship for the current cycle (or sprint if you prefer.). One book I came across, that I found interesting, was 'Shape Up' from Basecamp[1]. The ideas around shaping the work that needs to be done are interesting. The book, essentially, somewhat formalises what most teams are probably doing during the planning phase. You need a period of fuzzy exploration during the early stages of a project. For example the team I'm managing is trying to find product/market fit, so the there is no well defined series of tasks initially. The goal of planning is to define these tasks. Most of the time time that means building several exploratory prototypes and showing them to users and iterating on that. Or exploring concepts etc. This is the work I do in parallel with production development for features we know are necessary and well-defined.

On the Contrary: A Masters Degree is often easier than an undergrad degree. You get a lot more freedom to do whatever the fuck you want. In most Universities, Masters students can teach/do research and get tuition forgiveness.

If you want the experience of being in a college campus for a while without the bullshit involved in {undergrad, phd, jobs}, Masters degrees are the perfect middle ground.

I did a Masters degree. I didn’t do very well on some courses, really loved others, learned how to read academic papers and what research would look like if I wanted to do a PhD. But I also had enough free time to make friends, hang out and go on road trips and parties. It was a lot of fun!
> 1) How do you handle research in domains where the data is about people, so that releasing it harms their privacy?

that's an interesting problem that i have not thought about.

i think maybe that this is not a technical problem, but more an ethical one. under the open data approach, if you want to study humans you probably would need to get express informed consent that indicates that their data will be public and that it could be linked back to them.

> 2) How does one define "re-runnable processing"? Software rots, dependencies disappear, operating systems become incompatible with software, permission models change. Does every researcher now need a docker expert to publish? Who verifies that something is re-runnable, and how are they paid for it?

one defines it by building a specialized system for the purpose of reproducible research computing. i would envision this as a sort of distributed abstract virtual machine and source code packaging standard where the entire environment that was used to process the data is packaged and shipped with the paper. the success of this system would depend on the designers getting it right such that researchers _wouldn't_ have to worry about weird systems level kludges like docker. as it would behave as a hermetically sealed virtual machine (or cluster of virtual machines), there would be no concerns about bitrot unless one needed to make changes or build a new image based on an existing one.

the good news is that most data processing and simulation code is pretty well suited to this sort of paradigm. often it just does cpu/gpu computations and file i/o. internet connectivity or outside dependencies are pretty much out of scope.

i don't think it's hard... there just hasn't been the will or financial backing to build this out right and therefore it does not exist.
> And they needed double-entry bookkeeping! Perhaps one of the most underrated human inventions of all. Your wealth was no longer determined by how much stuff physically hoard, but by a record of entitlements.

Personally, my undergrad was in electrical engineering so I always felt a little behind as a software engineer. Getting an accredited Master's in software engineering from Harvard extension gave me more confidence in a lot of the classes I would have taken in undergrad. Not to mention, development has moved on in the time since I took my undergrad, so it was kind of a mid-career refresher. There are definitely jobs that like seeing a Master's as well. So in my case I think it was worth it.

Shape Up Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work That Matters (2019)
This is awesome. I already have some suggestions:

- Put a bird^H^H ZFS on it

- Switch to RAID10 (a stripe of mirrors), and go 2/3 floppys wide so you can have some redundancy in each mirror gropu

- Get some Pis (or other SBCs) and hook those up and run Ceph... if this keeps going we'll have a SAN soon enough.

- ZIP disks?[0]

Also, I don't think I ever want to hear of the "hug of death" for any site ever again -- I don't think this site hosted on 30 floppies was hugged to death.

> Musl is liked since it has a non-copyleft license

Not only for that. As much as I love copyleft, I'm really happy that musl exists so that I can easily test my programs locally for portability. Compiling stuff with different compilers and libraries exposes at once all sorts of weird bugs before you get to publish your codes.
i am just interested enough in new gui toolkits that i have read through a bunch of blogposts, articles, and github repo docs for a ton of emerging ones. my overall impression is that if a lot of these "architecture astronaut" concerns are not at least planned for up front, they will never be implemented, so i welcome the OP's thoroughness in documenting the various issues to be taken into account.

They’re gamified for glory - evidenced by the massive amounts of useless answers upvoted for popularity rep.

I’ve had one of Apple Forums’ “high reputation” members insisting that a clear OS bug (as per the technical definition of a bug on Wikipedia) couldn’t be considered a bug (as in a Giuliani-style “Bugs aren’t bugs” response).

It’s all absolutely ridiculous & useless. I’ve filtered out search results from it, same as those copycat “answers” sites.

Small comment: It's possible to stitch together UI/video/3D without dealing with the compositor, if you use child windows instead (or in wayland terms, a subsurface). On win32 at least, it's a much simpler approach.
