No. I don't believe we should outlaw research that makes people feel bad. I predict that there's functionally very little genetic difference in cognitive abilities because human beings are simply far too similar (this does not say "exactly the same") to each other in all other measurable attributes. Still, it's moot because we can't measure intelligence and pretending we can isn't scientific.

At least, the top 10% of math learners. There's nothing wrong with students who don't want to get into math beyond algebra. (Algebra is a crucial life skill, at least as long as you stick to the actually useful parts rather than veering into abstractions that matter only to those 10%.)

It's too bad that we're stuck with a dilemma: either track students early, missing some people and misdirecting others, or don't track them at all, missing potential excellence. I don't think you can avoid that dilemma entirely, but I do think you can take a guess and say "You don't seem to be enjoying the kind of math that leads in the direction of calculus, how about we put more effort into things that might be more fulfilling to you."
Other comments mention that it's more visible in cities, but I'd like to add that "abject inequity and poverty" are national problems that cities cannot solve individually. Rural areas are given disproportionate political power in our national elections while cities go underrepresented. So national problems that affect cities go ignored.

Which rules did he break?
I've worked with a "devops" team that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on puppet consultants and never got it working. Another team spent it's time badmouthing various technology choices, but then didn't realize that our customer's onsite deployment dictated the technology choices and chose the wrong tech.

The real reason devops exists (what used to be called Application Engineering) is because development is pretty clueless about the customer's runtime environment. They don't really understand the tuning necessary to create a production system.

Example: very few developers understand how big your DB connection pool should be, because they tend to only test one connection scenarios. That's assuming they're actually know enough to use a connection pool. And they almost never handle failover scenarios.

DevOps should be the purview of the senior engineers. If you're building without an understanding of your deployment environment then you're screwed. And more importantly, you're not taking advantage of platform features.

As an example, deploying to SSDs (which everyone should be doing) means your database performance has just gotten an order of magnitude better for free. You need to retest and get rid of a lot of those performance-related changes.

Let's put it this way: one monolithic Java/spring application I worked on was basically a SOAP server with a UI that took up gigs of RAM. It was that big because the scaffolding required to handle all that was, well, huge. But really, it was essentially a web server that served pages to connected clients. All that other shit was overhead...so on AWS it got transformed into a few lambda functions and REST apis. Without an understanding of the deployment environment (and the possibilities associated with that) it would never have happened.

TL;DR: senior engineers should be the devops people, because how and where you deploy software should determine how you should make software.

I liked the idea of snaps as something like the AUR. Basically a straightforward way to get un-trusted/closed source software installed without giving some random installer root on my system. Apps like Steam, Spotify, Discord, maybe even Chrome make a lot of sense since they don't really fit into a traditional open source distribution model, but I wish they'd stick with apt for anything open source.
Ah, that's much more involved than the permits I've dealt with in other places for small (eg not a development dealing with traffic flow) projects.

> If, merely hypothetically speaking, of course, the wanted to establish an empire under their rule, without regard for what others within that future empire want, what makes you think, that it will stop with that one country the aggressor is invading currently?

Nothing, other that the fact that while there are countries with which the would-be emperor has territorial disputes, he has not expressed any ambitions reaching beyond those. It is a common sentiment expressed in the Western European countries that if the the aggressor is not stopped now, he will continue westwards indefinitely, engulfing more and more countries, Genghis-like; when there is no real reason to think that he would. History is a good teacher about the past, but is powerless to predict the future.

No matter. I am dismayed by how eagerly people shift their attention from the threat to their very physical existence to questions of politics or history which seem petty in comparison. However repulsive the Muscovite tyrant might be; however dark or immoral; are we really considering collective suicide among the possible answers?
This sounds like what I mean with building it and running it being devops, yeah -- the fact that you have access to make pull requests or code patches, or even know where the code repository exists in the first place, shows that you're at least somewhat involved in building the application. Contrast this to what was traditionally ops and is now "SRE"; in those roles, applications are usually black boxes where an ops person doesn't know/care how they're developed, because they're responsible for the overall health of the system, which could be managing 100 applications made by 50 development teams.
It sounds like he had 3000 actively paying business users at the start of this negotiation, with revenue matching up with a series A level co (so likely significant, but definitely under $10M ARR.

This is incredible on so many fronts. 5-10 years ago, I would choose my computer based on it's potential to edit video. A decade ago, most laptops couldn't handle the load of uncompressed video. 5 years ago, having iMovie on your Ipad allowed us to make sub <5 minute videos of low-res/processed files. Now we have an intersection of 1. an Ipad is powerful enough to handle this type of data processing and 2. BMD has found ways of dealing with the huge file sizes and rendering / editing in real time. Unreal. I imagined this would come some day but not today.

Yeah, there's a sour spot where they're not planning for growth but not conserving the neighborhood either. I don't like the idea of neighborhoods becoming urban. It just doesn't work well. The urban area should be planned for density from the beginning, and they go all-out there without fighting the neighborhood for zoning permits. Make it ped/transit-friendly, and put parking on the perimeter instead of wasting valuable space on the inside. Meanwhile there's no reason a quaint neighborhood needs a huge apartment complex.

Presumably, you could edit using proxies on your iPad and only have those actually synced to the iPad itself for space saving. It's not 1:1 to your source footage, but depending on how you encoded the proxy it certainly would be good enough for cutting footage on the go and you could sync the project back to your computer to continue working.
My guess is that the basic science part is right and they are measuring a real signal. I guess it will be reproduced, even in other animals and in other parts of the body.

We had this pattern in a previous role. Essentially, there was a repo with yaml config files in it. A dev team would write their code they wanted to deploy, configure the yaml files, and infrastructure would be deployed in AWS. That infrastructure was owned by the operations team.

This caused as many disasters as you’d expect. For example, when something breaks (like ECS, or a bad AMI is deployed), the dev team is stuck waiting on the operations team to fix it because the infrastructure is owned by the ops team.

I was part of transitioning to a different model where the same general concept applies; a bunch of yaml leads to infrastructure being deployed. But that infrastructure was fully owned by the dev team that deployed the code.

It only made things generally easier, because then if the deployment code broke (i.e. the code responsible for converting the yaml files to infrastructure, like terraform modules), we’d have to fix it.

Ultimately it was just a fancier and more guided version of Kubernetes.
I mean, I love software development, spend a lot of my own time on it outside of work. In fact I've been writing code since I was 11 or 12, close to 20 years now, professionally for 8 years, but I'm also very intelligent and like my lifestyle, so if that evaporated the chance that I'd continue to do professional software development, especially since many of the things we deal with day to day for pay are arguably the worst parts of software development, would be very low.

This whole "its your calling" thing is how the abuse and low pay in adjacent industries, like game development, are maintained, and frankly it's BS.

I'd go back to school and into something that will maintain my lifestyle.

They’re tools for the job, like your compiler and the language you use to program.

That’s like saying “I like to use Python and couldn’t care less for Java”. It’s fine to disagree with the team’s choice of the tools, but one needs to eventually commit to the choice, even it’s not your preferred one!

There’s an old adage that “if you’re writing clever code then you may not be clever enough to debug it”. It’s true! Operations requires deep understanding of the code running in production, the business rules and the customer. The person who will operate your code will eventually be smart enough to develop it entirely too, eventually cutting out the “dev”. I’ve personally seen this happen over and over.
Probably because they have a very mediocre cooling solution in it (I am guessing here based on their previous designs)

These include rigorous testing, IP scanning [IP == intellectual property, in this context - my note], and checking for security vulnerabilities. You should make sure your IDE or editor does not automatically compile or run generated code before you review it.

I believe the "you retain ownership and responsibility for Your Code, including Suggestions" is the part that covers this in the terms of service.

> just need to delegate authority and let them act mostly autonomously

Not to be glib, and I expect to be excoriated for such a comment, but I literally cannot think of a way to not be snarky: I believe what you're describing is called ownership.

Particularly in discussions of SF, I find this amazingly long road back to where we started: "If only there was some system where people with the most interest in a particular building could make their own choices!" - "If only people who owned land could build buildings on it!". That system exists - it's called private property.

Bureaucracy exists because no individuals have any ownership over any of this. The pipes and the surface of the sidewalk belong to different authorities - and dozens of oversight committees (the dreaded planning commission) have vague authority layered on top. If no one can own it, and we don't want authoritarian political power, then we have to accept that bureaucracy is simply the only way forward. There are no choices that are not somewhere on the line between "one person owns", "everyone owns" or "the king owns". We must make a choice - and if the choice is "libertarianism is stupid but ALSO authoritarianism is stupid" then hey, achingly slow bureaucracy is on the menu folks. We can't have our cake and eat it too.

At least in Europe, they needn't ask for essential cookies. They need to ask for cookies used for tracking, profiling, fingerprinting and consent to share collected info with third parties.

The rules also state that the path to reject those cookies must be as easy as it is to accept them, so if they have "accept all" button, they are required to also provide "reject all" button, that has similar visibility and accessibility to the "accept" button.

IIRC At least in EU, what they do is illegal and dark pattern, and hence personally I have no reason to believe their side of story on any topic.
DevOps is part of my job description. I was fuzzy on what it meant before, after reading this article, I have no idea what it means. As a general term, it's far too vague, when in practice it seems to just mean that you'll be splitting your time between writing regular application code and writing infrastructure as code. Oh and you get to be on-call.
I've used LumaFusion for years since it's the only real editor option on the iPad. They took forever to launch vector scopes and they still don't have keyframe easing or basic speed ramping, so it's good to see some competition here.

This is "only" two of the seven modules included in the desktop version, but even just one would be a breakthrough on the iPad.

The full DaVinci Resolve is nuts: it covers a complete, Hollywood-level workflow of DAM, editing, grading, sound, and VFX (with probably the most generous freemium model in existence, by a good margin). The iPad version covers one of the two edit workflows (the one more tailored to broadcast than film) and color grading, which will cover quite a few use cases without anything else. I can especially see this being used by serious YouTubers and independent content creators.

I wonder if the asset management module is planned, as that would seem to be the next-most broadly useful module.
This is a good reference for anyone complaining that the new iPad is "too powerful", which happened a bunch in the recent announcement threads. Yes, not everyone's going to be editing 8K video on their iPad, but everything that makes that possible makes lots of other current and future advanced use cases possible. For example, the lidar sensor foreshadows that the iPad has an important part in Apple's mixed reality plans.
