"Laboratory life" by Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar
Exponential growth of our economy stopped around the 1970s. A lot of our social paradigms are built on this exponential growth. Example: each university professor creates/trains x new university professors where x>1. Apply this to every industry everywhere. Without the artificial exponential growth potential created by population and recovery from world wars, resources are becoming more scarce. When resources are scarce the power structure picks someone to blame for the problem and the tyranny really starts. Could be racial minorities, the "wrong" political party, religious minorities, etc. It will be said they are a "threat" to the good people that are just trying to keep you safe or the good systems we have in place. This is going to happen everywhere across the world and it's going to have different flavors based on your culture.

> interesting that “democracy” has come to mean so much more than just the electoral system that provides the government

It’s always meant that [1]. Elections are essential. But since antiquity it’s been recognised, first through custom then by law, that they had to be balanced against e.g. minority rights and tribal partisanship. Reducing democracy to elections is a modern American/British phenomenon.

Sometimes I fail a sprint because estimations weren't correct. Sometimes I fail a task technically because the task can't be done with the tools I have or the time I'm given, or would produce code too brittle or rotten to justify doing.

When I have more of a free hand I usually can get something working though. But it's not like I'm creating new algorithms or anything.
I did it in toilet sessions but only the first volume (do not have other volumes in paper).
But neither the n-doped semiconductor nor the metal have holes, isn’t that the case?
How I came up with the idea for my 2nd startup
Separately from the utter ridiculousness of this...

...can anyone guess what about their app might break in iOS 16? I was under the impression that iOS updates didn't generally break compatibility, unless it's locking down some kind of permission. But I'm having a hard time imagining what a banking app would rely on that would change underneath it?
For power system operations: "Power System Stability and Control" by Prabha Kundur (https://www.amazon.com/System-Stability-Control-Prabha-Kundu...)

It is the bible of modern power system operations, and it will become more and more important as more renewable energy comes online. Understanding the concepts presented in this book is the difference between "why haven't we hit 100% renewables yet?!" and "we need market incentives for inertial ancillary services".
I don't think it's a typo - a sub-second render on a modern website with all the bells and whistles that users now expect...that probably puts you in the 99th percentile, maybe even higher.

Not disagreeing with you though - it's amazing how much bloat we've added. Nobody seems to get just how fucking fast the web actually is. Take a look at Figma or Linear if you want to see products that truly care about performance.
Cliff Stoll! I'll have whatever he's having
Yes you can and you wouldn't be the only person doing this. However, port forwarding is only supported in the in-development version, so you have to build your own binary for that.
Really impressive pictures. might I suggest thr option to purchase them at different price points?
It's Coutts. Not like it will affect that many people, and they'll have plenty of accounts elsewhere.
This a very generic statement that IMHO does not point us in the right direction: NO2 concentration can be linked to a statistically lower lifespan. But it will affect vulnerable people over proportionally (so it does not decrease all of our lifespans) and it is also an effective statical proxy for other traffic pollution. (Also with rigged diesels concentration has been going down and life expectancy is increasing also for other reasons)

Unlike toxic stuff in food, regulations do not try to limit the exposure of an individual but to take action based and prioritize measures based on the statistical severity to the whole population. I do not really think that Dieselgate (while being deeply unethical many ppl kind of knew that the regulation had holes like a cheese) really made that much of a difference if you look at the situation globally. Access to clean air and water is
a privilege and all rich nations and their citizens have a responsibility. It is far to easy to always just point at some rigged exhaust cleaning systems in cars. The problem is far more complex (also electric cars will produce emissions)
I think there are two things going on here: 1. Natural inclination to grab more power. 2. Governments and elites are worried about controlling a population in a future of infrastructure and supply chain collapse, and food shortages.

For number 2., there seems very little work on mitigation, rather, just locking down control of the population.
Curious to hear about about any tech unions anywhere in the world where revenue (not profit) is superior to a non-union counterpart, per worker.

At the very least I'd be curious to hear about a union (not guild or association) where the profession does not involve significant manual labor, where it makes more money per worker.
Rick And Morty really took a nosedive for me the last couple seasons. It's always just been a fun-when-high recycling of Star Trek episodes and well-known sci-fi ideas to me, but it always had its own style, clever writing and great acting(especially Sarah Chalke).

Lately the writing has felt a lot lazier, and I guess they ran out of good Star Trek episodes(understandable since none have been made for almost 20 years now...) to "steal" because a lot of the episodes felt like gimmicks based on some action anime I never heard of, fucking Ocean's 11, superheroes, dragons(seriously?), etc.
Nah, get another bank. Any FI that has to encourage users not to upgrade to the latest iOS because of engineering problems has significant other issues that they are able to still hide.
> because they anthropomorphize too much

You seem to be basing your view on a single book. Is there anthropomorphism in 1984? Homage to Catalonia? Consider also reading some of his essays, as well as his books.

Orwell isn't all about pigs and horses. Animal Farm was a children's book.
For VS Code you will need to build your own binary because it needs port forwarding which isn't released yet.

Edit: also, ContainerSSH tears down the container when you disconnect, so that may not exactly be what you are looking for.
This is one of the most exclusive banks in the world, counting the British Royal Family among their notable clients, and they can't even be bothered to keep their mobile app up to date. Pretty much sums up what rich people think about technology: make it sexy and powerful but I don't want to hear about ongoing maintenance costs. According to Wikipedia, new clients needed £500k in disposable funds to set up an account back in 2001.[0]

Cloud computing runtimes and serverless.

They can be running bare metal on top of a type 1 hypervisor, on top of a UNIX, Windows, mainframe, micro, or whatever.

Android and ChromeOS, which although based on the Linux kernel, don't expose a POSIX userspace to regular app developers as public API, only OEMs get to play with it, or placing the devices into developer mode like Crostini.

It doesn't matter at all on the XBox and Nintendo, but it does on PlayStation.

Its relevancy depends pretty much how deep one still is into classical UNIX like workflows, but like COBOL and Fortran it isn't going away anytime soon.

Unysis still sells Burroughs as well.

But that's just the point. It's not just business leaders who are disregarding their own actions. The environmental agendas are fully behind them. They've been co-opted as part of this corporate boondoggle. It leads you to believe they don't even truly believe the hyperbole about a catastrophe.
Regulation.

Good, old-fashioned, regulation. There's no other meaningful way to prevent this sort of thing. Now that we're dealing with "people's money" there should be energy to push this through.

(And to be clear, it's Apple that needs to be regulated.)
Their engineering prowess is also demonstrated by their website’s butter-smooth scrolling performance. /s

In a nutshell, yes. However, the main use case is when you don't want to give people access to the container environment, instead you want to drop them in a restricted shell. Think jump host. :)
A course in Arithmetic by Serre is for me THE book to get into Number Theory
Most of those problems already exist. The working-weekends one is the result of mismanagement.
Many great points made, both the OC and in these comments.

Another methodology pitfall (in general, not just UML) was working with other humans. It's just so hard to get everyone onto the same page.

Just one tiny facet of UML are use cases.

I love the book Applying Use Cases: A Practical Guide. Short, precise, actionable, repeatable. It's basically just a recipe. Almost too easy.

TLDR: All architecture must be tied back to use cases.

No brainer, right?

My company did a lot of continuing education. So we all read Applying Use Cases, have multiple bookclub style discussions, try to use the methodology during a project kickoff (bridge from requirements analysis to high level design).

Holy shit. You'd think we all had read different books. There was no shared understanding for any of the concepts, how to proceed. All normal pedantry (defining "use case", arguing over system vs user, correct level of abstraction, questioning the requirements). Plus the new arguments about tracing "use cases" to "architecture".

FWIW, that was the effort that broke me. After a few years of being a methodology warrior, I just gave up. At work, I want to ship code, not debate philosophy with bozos.

I still use various OOA/D techniques and skills I've acquired. But only for my own benefit. Either I'm in a position to just tell people how it's gonna be. Or I keep my mouth shut.

Fortunately, XP and Agile popped up. Enthralled all the poseurs and PHBs. Leaving me (and my teams) alone to just focus on shipping product.

Isn't this basically the premise of FoundationDB? I'd argue if you know your access patterns and they're not going to change you're always going to be better off using a key/value store and appropriately designing a schema around those access patterns.

There is at least one expensive enterprise DRM/obfuscation/"code protection" tool that had a late breaking bug in the iOS 16 beta process, and any app that uses it works with with earlier iOS 16 beta builds while crashing on newer ones.
Just came back from a trip to Albania and let me tell you those NOX are still getting pumped in the air there and will be for quite some time given that "sell it to someone somewhere else" is our go-to "solution" for owning a pollutant car:

This right there is why in my mind every single afflicted unit should have been recalled, replaced by VW and the others, and resale banned. We're letting others suffer and die for our unwillingness to hold our own elites responsible.
There's no evidence any of this makes us safer. It does increase the powers of intelligence agencies. They are already agile enough (what does that even mean?) and will never push back against increasing their powers. More powerful intelligence agencies are dual use: both more powerful* against real threats, but also more powerful against citizens that challenge them in any way.

*note: power may be far in excess of threats faced.

My wife works in health care in Canada, in a paramedical role. Despite working in both Union and non-Union roles, she absolutely prefers working in private clinics without Union oversight. The reason is simple: the total compensation is better, and none of the petty personal politics of the public sector Union gets in the way of her efforts.

Similarly, I have numerous members of my extended family who worked or still work in government Union roles. Most hate their union, due to the aforementioned petty politics, some have moved to private industry and become much happier, and notably the only one happy with their union is deeply involved in it.

When people say tech should unionize I wonder what is so appealing about being compensated less, having opportunities for internal progression gated by seniority, and giving your job an extra thick layer of social harassment and stress.

But then, I live in Canada, and we have some fairly decent basic employment rights and social supports.
That's not a lot for a wealth managament firm.
Not exactly, VS Code devcontainers work by directly interfacing with the container environment. If you don't trust the connecting party with direct access, you can use ContainerSSH. One use case would be a shared development environment.

All of these books are extraordinary in their sheer ability to organize thousands of small details into thematic narratives of how life operates.

They also reveal how hard we humans try to narrate life into tidy, comprehensible themes.

These books are all of an era (2005-2015), and there are probably newer ones. That said, they are a great guide for non biologists into how experts think things work.
Brigham's book on the Fast Fourier Transform was an eye opener for me. Not so much because of the "Fast" part (which is super interesting and useful too) but it was the introduction I needed to make integral transforms and convolution click. And that helped tremendously to connect a whole bunch of other dots.
No one who banks at Coutts is going to change their bank because of this.

It is, and isn't. Climate is a complex system, and CO² interacts with that system in a myriad of interesting ways. One of those ways is contributing to the whole "climate change" issue that so many climate scientists are concerned about, and that's a big honkin' part of what's causing the increased extreme weather issues, droughts, floods, etc, and directly contributing to wildfire dangers, among other fun stuff it's a big part of… On the other hand, if not for the drought issue affecting plant life in really negative ways, CO² is a thing plants happen to like, so there can be some benefits (to plants … in places not prone to drought). Still, in this particular case, the benefits do not appear to outweigh the dangers of continuing with "business as usual" as humans are so fond of doing.

I'm generally in favor of unions as a one of many tools for helping workers get a better working arrangement.

Yet I personally don't see the need for this tool in tech. The labor market has been red hot for years with demand exceeding supply and numerous options for each worker. Firms and their management seem exceedingly responsive (sometimes to a fault) with regard to addressing worker requests.

Sure there are still plenty of suboptimal tech employers and no firm is ever perfect for every worker. Yet worker choice seems to be sufficient to let tech workers find a firm that meets their requirements.

Some people are still choosing employers that many of us would reject, yet those workers are likely just prioritizing different things. Some people want to maximize their pay or progress more quickly in their career. Some people might even want to center work in their lives and seek a demanding employer. Whatever; to each their own.

> Software development should be a boring, follow the process, do all the steps and aim to create quality software.

This approach reduces software development into a cargo-cult defined by your line managers who don't know better and are too cautious to make a real difference in the field of software development. Tackling ever growing complexity requires going outside of the defined process and finding exciting solutions. It's the primary reason why engineers find them exciting in the first place.

Oh, cool, Apple developed a new technology it calls "passkeys". I wonder how they work.

> Under the hood, Apple’s passkeys are based on the Web Authentication API (WebAuthn), which was developed by the FIDO Alliance and World Wide Web Consortium (WC3).

Okay, so Apple didn't develop it.

It's good to see Apple getting on board with web standards like WebAuthn considering how much they are dragging their heels on web standards on iOS but I just wish we could stop reporting on them without framing everything they do as groundbreaking innovation just because a man in a turtleneck sweater would have said so.

Alternative headline:
