Yes. All of that. That is the right question, the very first question as a starting point. A basic requirement from a company is to provide an exhaustive, true, up-to-date list of all of these - and if they can't, they should not be permitted to handle private data.
That’s an absurd analogy that doesn’t fit at all.

FB uses the data it can’t find or tell you anything about to successfully sell ad space to third parties targeted back at you.

Let’s make it concrete.

We know FB keeps track of which webpages you visit. We also know they use that data as a way to help target ads. That data isn’t in the data export they give you, as far as I can tell from a brief search.

Is there data coming in about which Instagram profiles you follow and what pics you clicked and liked? Is there other data they keep track of? Undoubtedly.

I’m not surprised nobody knows the answer to what all it might be. But pretending that data is fungible like money is just misdirection.
There were no dumps of bank account numbers. As far as I saw, Kiwi Farms users posted only publicly-available info about thread subjects. In my opinion, certain categories of public yet personally-identifying information should be covered by US law in a way similar to HIPAA. However, that is not currently the case.

Also, info like someone's phone number and home address are only a click away once you have their full name and approximate age/geographic location, at least for people haven't taken extraordinary steps to limit discoverability on Spokeo or White Pages. People post full names and locations to Twitter all the time. They call it "unmasking" when it's someone the ruling consensus dislikes, while they know the info will be used to look up the "dox." This is not Twitter or Kiwi Farms' fault. It is the result of flaws in our legal system which allow sites like Spokeo and White pages to operate.
We usually split an appetizer and an entree. Feeds two quite well.

There’s a lot of roles needed to build a product. As the engineering load grows, the engineers have less time to handle those other duties themselves as much as we might like to.

When that happens, other people have to be involved to take over.

There are real requirements to communicate with other parts of the business, customers, coordinate who is doing what and triage what is needed when.

So generally, I agree with you that the mindset isn’t a great one.

At the same time, there are methodologies that aim to alleviate exactly this problem by ensuring engineers directly control more than they often do.

Scaled Agile (SAFe) is my favorite because of two core tenets.

1. There are 2 backlogs, one managed by product/business and one managed by dev/ops/arch. Going into planning, capacity allocations are given to each (usually 70-30 product dev). Priority among those backlogs is entirely handled by the group managing it.

2. PI Planning where backlog items are presented from each group and dev is responsible for planning out those priorities over the next 8-12 weeks in the manner that they believe is best. Everybody who could potentially answer questions that devs have is present with their schedules cleared to streamline the decision making process. Plans are discussed with management, risks assessed and finally agreed on.

I love this process. It gets everybody on the same page as far as who is doing what, when and why. It reduces friction and lets devs focus for 2-3 months at a time without a directional shift.

Planning from product is focused on the next PI instead of the constant “we have to drop everything and work on X now!” situations that so often happen.

I wish more orgs would adopt it. I hear so often about devs stuck in orgs claiming to do so that aren’t actually doing any of the things that make it great and it’s frustrating.

You can hire one or more data privacy people whose whole job it is to track this. They get an inventory of all the systems and talk to the managers of every system, find the answers and document them.

A part of the latter is based on the actual superiority of the quality of medical care in this country...

How is it superior? Sure, some countries fare worse. But folks aren't getting the healthcare they need because of cost, and the results aren't exactly the best in the world. I'm not convinced that "culturally" folks have high expectations either, and sure, you might want to change your lifestyle to lose weight - but at the same time, you might just need medical oversight to do so. Not to mention that a bunch of things medicine helps are not things that lifestyle just fixes.
So... is "quiet quitting" just doing your work? I'm confused.
Alternatively, how that privacy logic is built and the infra is an albatross. And worse, a checkbox without any guarantees.

> Commercial tree farms exist to grow trees. If they weren't growing trees for consumption, something else would be done with that land

Yes, for example let the natural vegetation take over, increase biodiversity, and sequester more carbon thanks to the increased biodiversity and better soil than fucking tree farms.
Ha! “Fungible” is the word I settled on, too.
> Most are about average

Surely you meant to communicate something different here and not a mathematical impossibility.

Do you mean most fall within 1 standard deviation of the average? That still means half the managers you encounter would be below the average quality assuming a normal distribution (which it’s clearly not - skills tend to follow the power law).

Most engineers are actually decidedly quite bad at software development itself for what it’s worth. The equivalent of a first level line manager is typically a first level engineer (not always but usually). Good managers get promoted to manage managers / multiple teams which dilutes their qualities (they now have to train other managers to be good). So think about whether you’d put a very junior engineer in charge of a project and what kind of results that might have, especially since if the manager is actually good they’ll be promoted away whereas an IC who’s hood is simply given more responsibility on the project but the role doesn’t change too much.

Remember last time they tried a universal media filesystem with UDF? It was implemented in the most incompatible ways as a token gesture by both Microsoft and Apple. These companies want their own, patented, proprietary fs so they can maintain lock-in.

The only way to get a universal standard is to have the community do it and have enough people use it that the big companies have to capitulate.

Would you prefer to add correctness tests to the compositionality that Julia gives “for free” due to multiple dispatch, or would you rather rewrite huge libraries from scratch? Eg: if you want a “new” feature like autodiff on numpy code then you need to reimplement numpy on top of every new autodiff implementation (PyTorch, jax, etc.)

I’m also curious to understand the reasoning, for either choice.
Good, the market can and will soak up the excess talent.
> If you don't have an education in functional programming, a closure definition is quite a lot to dump on folk.

That's true, I agree. It's not good when you have to explain a piece of code to every single developer (or even a majority of them) that comes to the project.

It would be different in Ruby or JS, but Python developers tend to be more procedural and OO oriented, with FP being less widely known and used.

> All abstractions are a trade-off between "how easy is it for the writer " vs "how easy is it for the reader."

Yes, definitely. If you can solve a problem with simpler tools, you should do that. If you can solve a problem in a way that's easier to follow, you should do that, even at the cost of some repetition. All abstractions leak, and if you can solve a problem without introducing yet another leaky abstraction - you should do that.

On the other hand, if your abstraction is tight enough not to leak too much, you can often get away with it by simply documenting how to use it. Huge masses of Python programmers use Django ORM, for example, without ever caring about the metaclasses and descriptors that make them work. Many of the more junior devs don't even understand that the ORM is basically a builder for SQL queries. It's not ideal and they sometimes introduce problems to the codebase by doing N+1 queries where 1 query would suffice (for example) and they become lost at the first sight of `QuerySet.raw` method. Until they hit one of these, though, they can still add value to the project.

> Decorators have a "hurdle" rate of complexity for the writer, and need a sufficient number of readers to justify.

Agreed. The complexity of creating a closure that wraps a given function to add a useful logic to it is definitely higher than simpler solutions, like template method (for example). And while using a decorator has little syntactic overhead, there's a cognitive overhead should the new developer need to change the decorator's logic.

In other words: simple is best. No argument here :)

My pet problem is not with those roles, they are needed, it is with the overpaying of those roles and downplaying of the requirement of actual engineers and thus lowering their standing an payment. An engineering manager should in my view never earn more than the rest of the team and where I live they do earn more by default.

So workers increase their output by 3.5x to get +70% wages. I wonder why they complain about management bullshit...
what people don't undertand (and that included me, when I did the change) is that being a manager is a totally different job than being a developer. you can be an extremely good developer, but be a lousy manager. there are different skills needed for those roles and not all of them are transferable. when you transition from a senior developer, you don't transition into a senior manager, you start from zero. it helps to be a good dev, but it's not a guarantee for success.
It does, as mentione in the linked article.

Correct. At least in the US, “regulation D” restricts you from using your savings account as your “transactional” aka checking account.

A long time ago before that was a thing and interest rates were non zero, my local credit union had automatic overdraft protection that drew from your savings account with no fees. So I would just keep the checking account balance at zero and draw from my savings for every check. Apparently at some point this triggered some automated check and I could no longer do this.

Regulation D only allows you to transfer money from your savings account to checking six times per month, but apparently that rule was suspended during COVID.

That's an incredibly adversarial attitude severely lacking in self-reflection and empathy. It's really tough to work with people wound so tight. Having been a manager, if I were yours, I'd be working on helping you grow up a bit, and if that didn't work, I'd be helping you find a different role that was more suited to your...ahem...creativity. A role far away.

The problem is that people believe this type of greenwashing (as can be seen by other comments on this thread). Building a house is never going to be carbon negative. Carbon neutral at best, but even that is going to be almost impossible to achieve.
At the height of the last crypto boom, with elevated GPU prices, you could expect to make back your investment (with electric costs) in about 200 days. Assuming that means a 2.5% per-day return, that could be extrapolated to be ~60% return for the rest of the year, which figures out to about 27% return for the entire year. That's back of the napkin as it assumes you only run the machine for a year (warranty period of the equipment), crypto prices stay the same, and miner competition stays the same. It also doesn't account for facilities costs, salvage value of the equipment, or the (relatively limited) labor costs of setting up and maintaining the computers.

The exact same thing can be said of programmers/developers; there are TONS of bad ones. The fact that there exist bad managers/pms/etc does not invalidate the need for good ones.
I think this is overly complicating the process. If you want an open source DIY method of building a home, just learn basic framing and construction. It's not hard, lots of people have built their own homes, you just need some common sense and a willingness to learn.

If you want to go all in on modular, wood based, zero carbon housing then learn how to build a timber frame house. If you really want zero carbon you can use only hand tools and harvest your own trees.

Wikihouse seems more for people who want to buy something off the shelf, pretty much a kit house. That's not a bad thing since it takes a lot of effort to build something as big as a house and lots of people don't want to do that. But I don't think this should be sold as a solution for DIYers since the existing methods already satisfy the listed requirements.

That's not my experience at all. I am trying to start a new career as a fiction writer, and writers are very interested in sharing knowledge. I say this for both professional, published authors and wannabes like me.

I was part of a long creative writing course (about 9 months), and our class of 20 formed a bond of helping each other A LOT. Sharing tips, beta reading, posting about prizes, open calls for literary magazines, etc.

In this class, we decided to start inviting published authors to share tips for beginners. We got mostly positive responses. Professional writers would spend about 2 hours with us (online) sharing tips and answering questions. All of them were very transparent about how they write and gave useful tips on how to get published. They said things that would be impossible to learn without talking to a professional author.

So I call you a cynic, as you asked me to, and a wrong one at that.

This was the question I asked myself that totally changed how I thought about sales and marketing people.

I cannot do sales, I do not want to do sales, but if I want a job someone needs to do sales. To me sales looks like an awful job, but some people really get a kick out of it and I'm glad they do because otherwise I would earn a lot less than I do.

We love to think that "if we build it they will come" but the reality is very different, and most of us work for companies that would struggle to grow without some form of sales or marketing operation, no matter how good the product might be.
