Most of the replies to your query have addressed the big issue, which is that "data scientists" are almost universally mediocre (at best) coders. It's endemic to that job position and is guaranteed to be language-invariant.

One factor that isn't helping generations younger than mine (mid-50's) is the continual evolution of tools that remove the user from all the underlying parts. I recently worked with someone who told me they "only know Databricks on Azure" and "don't know python." Their self-assessment was accurate, and the utility of that individual was essentially zero.

The problem with python is that people like myself - non-engineers, and mostly end users of software - spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with mismatched library dependencies, deprecated features, rolling-back python versions to get a working kernel and so on.

The fact that the business model of at least two companies (Enthought and Anaconda) is predicated on the difficulty of getting a functioning python environment to work in this day and age speaks volumes about the problem.

If we can't get past "which pip?," how can we expect the other stuff to "just work?"
My feelings are jumbled about this. They are playing it straight. And that audience.
It was the Twitter's board that forced Musk to buy it.
When companies show anti-competitive behavior that works against the consumer, we should all massively buy their products and immediately return them. This unfortunately is the only way to tell these companies that they are doing something wrong.
I do think music's effects are underappreciated.

You can hear about plenty of artists uniting or representing a movement in the USA esp 60s.

The story of Rodriguez is one of my favorites. He literally had no idea he had been the root of music for social change in Apartheid South Africa.

https://www.npr.org/2012/07/28/157478577/rodriguez-forgotten...

"The first white anti-Apartheid movement derived [inspiration] from a few rock bands," Bendjelloul explains. "Rodriguez was the first artist that actually had political content that was anti-establishment that got heard. ... By remote control, Rodriguez was actually changing a society."
You make it sound like you're a hostage or something at one of his companies.

Get a different job. Twitter/Musk doesn't owe you a thing. It's not Musk's responsibility to ensure you have food on your table... it's yours. Don't like your situation, move on.

If enough people found Musk intolerable then his companies would fail all on their own.
My limited experience is similar to yours I think, but I'm not sure how true this is. If ActivityPub works for these, is it doing a bad job?

- Nextcloud, a federated service for file hosting

- PeerTube, a federated service for video streaming

- Pixelfed, a piece of social networking software which resembles Instagram

(from wikipedia, surely there are more)

Or I suppose maybe those count as social apps because they involve public facing posting. I definitely wouldn't use them for privacy, and only for communication with no particular expectation of promptness.
Nazism is not the point. It’s a vast exaggeration and laughable straw man.
It is more complex for hardware to keep track of for sure. It's been a feature of high performance cores for more than a decade though. Kernels tend to be based off of linked lists, so it's a massive win typically.

That time is still there in embedded hardware. Even potent ARM chips (except the cellphone ones maybe) have some KB of cache at best, and similar amounts of SRAM. While code size is still at a premium since XIP (execute-in-place from in-built flash) is slower.
It’s not “very clear” to this outsider that Twitter was bloated, not that the firings adhere to any particular “debloating” rationale.

Edit: The approach Musk has taken to layoffs also does not evoke maturity.
Laid-off Twitter employees sound off about company’s “red wedding”
on the contrary, I think more and more people are unwilling to hear any criticism, even constructive criticism, of "their thing".

Rust is not perfect. I wont go into its faults, but you know what they are. I think overall, Rust is a great language, but you have to be realistic and understand that some stuff you ignore in favor of the holistic view, others might not be able to. So sometimes maybe just take the criticism and deal with it, or if you're in the position, do something to fix the problem.
> I've got so many fragmented memories from early nineties parties fueled by moonshine that we bought from some shady russian rust bucket cargo ship down at the docks and by RATM played far too loud.

You should attend a Mogwai show. How loud they were was probably illegal in the country where I saw them.

"Killing in the name of" was very much political and extremely controversial.
I think the relevant aphorism is: you can be right or you can be happy, but usually not both.
Nancy, or Paul, Pelosi weren’t even engaged in any discourse on twitter with his attacker. It sounds like you’re saying in order for discourse to be safe, people with power over communication needs to regulate other people on our behalf? The big question is how do they decide? We do have some laws about direct threats, spam, fraud and negligence, but I’m not sure where your definition fits in. It seems like it is extremely difficult to get right and very easy to get wrong.
That is the best news I've heard.
This seems totally insane to me. The lawsuit is arguing that directors not only have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to increase the value of their Meta holdings, but also of other stocks they may own.

The consequences of that line of thinking are scary. I'm sure the vast majority of shareholders of most US companies own ICE cars. If a company decides to put a lot of effort into, for example, cheaper batteries, could shareholders sue because the company is devaluing an asset most of them own?

This totally smells like a lawyer trying a random, BS theory in the hope that something "sticks" in order to make their mark.

It's used by log4j2 and several other java libraries and is quite solid. You can use it in blocking or polling modes, so it's quite generic depending on your latency requirements.
It has nothing to do with rights. It just has to do with consequences.
> Understanding, and even sympathizing, with the machine's toil re: vectors vs manual linked list can separate a good engineer from a great one.

I think your parent's point is that if you're a C++ programmer, recognizing that vectors outperform other data structures for most use cases is what separates a good engineer from a great one. Often even for things that require lookup (i.e. vector outperforming a set).

During code reviews, a senior C++ programmer in my company (formerly sat in the C++ standards committee) would always demand benchmarks from the developer if they used anything else. In most cases, using representative real world data, they discovered that vectors outperformed even when the theoretical complexity of the other data structure was better.

A great engineer knows the limitation of theory.

Of course, my comment is only regarding C++. No guarantees that vectors are great in other languages.
Very horrible vs. extremely horrible. Spot the difference.
I am in Germany too, currently with Deutsche Bank but moving to ING.

I've never been in a situation where a next-day SEPA transfer wasn't good enough though.
Lawsuits like this are just political theater, abusing the court system to publicize a particular social issue. The plaintiffs know they have no hope of winning a judgment, but if they can bring enough negative publicity to Meta then the company might actually change some policies.
That is not what I gathered, but I invest in dirt so who knows.

What I gathered, is that the facebook decisions impacted non-facebook stocks, facebook not only should have known but also are responsible as fiduciary to the stock holders.

In short, besides you, I bought your competitor, you should have known I bought them, your actions now crushed your competitor, I lost a boatload on them, you are responsible.

> The complaint alleges that the Meta directors failed to consider that shareholders with diversified portfolios may be subject to net losses from Meta’s pursuit of a business model that maximizes advertising revenue without regard to the harms it inflicts on the rest of their portfolios. In particular, the complaint identifies press reports establishing that the company knew that its conduct was leading to mental health issues for millions of users and increasingly negative political rhetoric, while facilitating ethnic cleansing, drug cartels, modern slavery, and vaccine disinformation. These activities pose risks to political stability, public health, and rule of law, threatening the intrinsic value of the global economy and thus the value of diversified portfolios. (As diversified portfolios represent a slice of the economy, reducing the value of the global economy inevitably reduces portfolio value.
Well, hiring and firing is a key part of management, as is setting performance standards and/or the desirable vs undesirable goals (one way of doing that being "tell me that I am in trouble and/or fired.")
edit: parent comment asked "not sure what value Arm is getting from this" but this was later removed. My comment below was answering that.

Tony is one of the few people out there who’s got a deep and broad understanding of how all the pieces need to work together. Marketing, sales, supply chain, software Eng, product marketing…etc. He’s just as comfortable talking about the details of a new microcontroller as he is talking about the marketing implications downstream from it. That’s the value Arm is getting from this.
I think maybe it's not worth much trying to stereotype people into mental diseases to blame for behaviors, until we'd identify the causes and properly characterize those classes. By the way, from what I learn on the Internet, I'd agree with the other comment that he's a jackass.
Virgin Beauty is my favorite Ornette Coleman & Prime Time album. There is some really crazy, goofy stuff going on, and it's always fun to hear Jerry Garcia noodling around aimlessly in the background.
Cool, that's nice that:

a) The context was helpful

b) They deleted it

I hate when someone on Twitter gets something wrong and then instead of deleting it they reply with "sorry I was wrong". Due to the way Twitter works very few people will see the reply, deleting is the only way to really make things right.
Every line that you produce is copyrighted by you, automatically. There is no "obviousness" test for copyright: if you decide to code a for loop, then that for loop is copyrighted the moment you type it in.

copilot is outputting literally small chunks of code that needs a lot of cleanup afterwards

If you start from copyrighted chunks, then clean them, you're still violating people's copyright. Multi-million dollar lawsuits have been fought over people using small samples from other people's music, cleaning them, and releasing them as parts of their own song.
This is completely backwards. Did Twitter’s board make him make an offer? I don’t go around making multi-billion dollar offers for things I don’t actually want.
JS stack traces aren't that bad and the actual debuggers are quite good.
They're agreeing to all that, just for accomodations?

I wish we, as a world, would stop turning a blind eye to modern day slavery, and boycott farces like this.

> Freedom of speech is an ideal that applies to all people and all spaces, public and private

Private spaces? Nonsense. You can't go in to a restaurant and start ranting about the Jews or whatever, and then say that they're violating the "ideal of free speech" when they kick you out. Free speech means you get to espouse an idea, not force people to hear it.

The disagreement is about whether Twitter is a public or private space. It seems to me to be pretty obviously private, and AFAICT the people who argue that it's public don't have much justification beyond "I want it to be, because I or someone I like got kicked out."

Apocalyptic events like that are rare. Sudden rapid divestment from Apple is unlikely.
Also the implementation is all wrong. The proper way to add an element to a linkedin list is to send the element an email titled "I just requested to connect", along with a "view profile" and "accept" link.
Companies can and do change quite quickly under new leadership - case in point, Twitter right now.
Type II NPD. Musk has covert narcissism. His recent passive-aggressive posts regarding Starlink and Ukraine, plus blaming activists for advertisers leaving Twitter, gives it away. Passive-aggressiveness and blaming are particularly common to Type II. Seeing those, we wouldn't need to look too hard for other Type II NPD symptoms, such public generosity along with being cruel in private, being intolerant of or oversensitive to criticism, smugness, self-absorbtion, self-criticsm, shyness, perfectionism, holding grudges, and all types have strong denial and low empathy. Though if Musk often engages in humiliating others, I have it wrong; that's Type III, toxic. Usually successful individuals will get NPD buttoned up along with becoming fit even though denial is very difficult to overcome.

What would make you think he was bipolar? There are other symptoms, but BPD requires depressions and manias.
Oh you can bog down the uplinks for sure - even after you’re off the cell and on the landlines.

Interconnects are getting better and better so fewer and fewer people run into it (and how much video bandwidth never even leaves the carriers local network with Netflix cache servers, etc).

Plus you do not have a super smart memory allocator to prevent the hundreds of vectors from spraying the heap.
It'll be interesting to see how Musk handles negative sentiment regarding him and his IP trending. Stories about burning Teslas and Tesla wrecks trending will be a thing of the past.

On the flip side, boosting the visibility of pro Musk IP content is an inevitability along with unfairly boosting Tesla stock and never-ending SEC investigations.
Those are roughly the categories of people I was thinking of when I commented. You've put together a list of people who, by and large, are insulated from scarcity - people who either aren't going to have to do without, or are sufficiently confident in their position (academics and poets) that they don't think they need to work a conventional job. Frequently extreme specialists in a specific field that doesn't translate well into broad life experience. They don't have to live their lives in line with the resource constraints that the world works under.

I'm an engineer, I know the perspective well. I'm part of the group of people keeping the lights on. And therefore there is nearly nothing out there that poses any sort of threat to my comfort, because society was built by and for people like me. That isn't an experience that matches up well with the typical experience and it would be very hard to spin as being exposed to 'reality'. I have access to disproportionate resources to solve my problems. And so do all the people you're listing.
I’d say Musk is the rare combination of a great leader, who also has the ability to learn arbitrary subjects quickly enough to tell whether he’s being bullshitted.
You are talking about real problems, but as an aside, judging the overall veracity of reviews based off of the fit of a sleeping mask that is usually a "one size fits all" is possibly one of the worst ways to go about it.
You can grovel in front of an abuser, giving up all human dignity, if you want. In the end, he is just a man, and evil one at that.

That doesn't even sound like a good high school coach, let alone the CEO of a corporation has people who are going to play more than a couple of seasons.

> should allow all legal speech.

It is usually illegal or in breach of contract to share internal company communications. This isn't the "gotcha" you're looking for.
Hopefully the case gets summarily tossed for lack of standing. The idea that one company's decisions would have such tangible and personally-harmful (to "my portfolio") effects due to "negative political rhetoric, while facilitating ethnic cleansing, drug cartels, modern slavery, and vaccine disinformation" would open up every company to diffuse claims of responsibility.
Calling 15% layoff something not affecting an org is only a somewhat honest statement if compared with a bonkers 50% layoffs across the company.
I do not see the point.

Musk owns Twitter, and Twitter doesn't owe anyone a job. If you are not on board with the goals and vision the owner has, then you need a different job.

It is that simple. Time to be mature folks... don't like Musk's style - don't work for him. Someone else will fill your place in a heartbeat.

How can they make their chips commercially competitive? US input costs are a lot higher than both TSMC's and China's.

I'd note that the number of people creating content now is probably two or six orders orders of magnitude larger than before the internet, when it was just print/radio/TV/etc.

Most that Joe Random could expect to get in print would be a Letter to the Editor, or a random passerby interview. The in-crowd was even more "unusual".
> I only wish they had a bigger impact in politics.

Gushing cliches like '_____ has changed everything' often unintentionally dissipate the very energy that seeks to bring about change by reducing everything to bathos. When the language of drama is applied to soap opera plots it's ceased to have any utility. Gil Scott Heron rapped about this in his famous record 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised', which of course was quickly repurposed into a meaningless cliche and printed on t-shirts that could be sold at Hot Topic.

Edit: this is a hyperbolic dig at marketing and commodification. I don't think GSH himself ever tried to make money from merchandise, but the original language is unclear.
Who really cares. The top number of mDAUs on twitter in the US is 41 million, and 42% of that are people 18 to 29 who are not super likely to vote in general. Somewhere north of 6% of active users are too young to vote. The most active twitter users are journalists, a few writers, activists, and celebrities. Twitter also isn't really a place where regular people go for election information.
As speeds get higher oversubscription gets higher too, just from a practical standpoint. They dropped 1Gb/s fiber to the entire town and I doubt we have multiple terabits of uplink.

> We do want to set good examples and boundaries and have members practice this wherever possible, while of course being sensitive to ADHD accomodations.

I would include the accommodations in the policy, then. Right now, you have a strict policy with accommodations being hidden and handed out arbitrarily instead of making them default and transparent while the vast majority of your clients will require the accomodation.

I would also include the ability for the coach to notify the client they are currently missing the appointment. Time blindness is a very real thing and unless I stop everything I'm doing and stare at the Zoom screen there's a chance I will miss the appointment. I missed some doctor appointments this way, but if they had just texted or called me to break my hyperfocus, I would've hopped on the call right then.

Lastly, just seeing policies like this out in the wild would give me more confidence in the service you offer. Seeing the same policy that every other doctor has that ADHDers get "taxed" from all the time just makes me think you don't understand.
before that happens remember there will be attempts to squeeze every last dollar out of it & You the user.
