> When I was at ShermansTravel.com we had a very competent project manager who oversaw the tech team. She did a fantastic job of estimating tickets, prioritizing tickets, and keeping engineers focused on the right tickets. But she was paid less than any of the software engineers. And I think that is the right model for most companies, including Bayer. The default assumption, everywhere, is that managers need to be paid more than the people they manage, but why is that?

I suspect you didn't actually report into this Project Manager in the org chart, did you? Did she make hiring/firing decisions for the engineering team? Was she in charge of budgeting for the engineering team, including raises and bonuses? Did she approve vacation requests?

Just because she was attached to the engineering team and had Manager in her job title doesn't mean she was the manager of the team. To me, "Project Manager" is a separate role that is not actually higher than an IC engineer in the org chart

I wouldn't expect to make more money than the person I report into, especially because that person generally has authority over me and could probably terminate my job entirely if they wanted to
Removing the nitrogen bottleneck would let them capture carbon faster. Given our predicament I'd say we should take all the help we get.
They did say the genie is “truly omniscient,” so many (most?) sources of uncertainty wouldn’t exist for it.
GBoard has "incognito mode" when it's a Chromium incognito window, but unfortunately none of the feedback is disabled and it appears to be deprecated.

Pretty crazy that people use keyboards and grant them network/internet access.

Yeah this immediately made me think of that “reinventing organizations” (by the holacracy guy) which I read (skimmed) I think 10 years ago. I kind of liked the ideas, although he made up some weird terminology which I didn’t think would ever catch on.

Were those ideas debunked or something?

Fair enough, I get it's scary and has risks. It's hard to 'see' the single event in the short term as less dangerous than the everyday damage over the long term, it's normal to want to avoid that.

Maybe it's not the right energy source for humans because of how we feel uncomfortable about that, even if it's the correct source rationally. Sort of like nuclear's UX is wrong, even tho functionally it's right. But cognitive biases make that hard to see.

Geopolitically the best energy source is probably the one that we have and can sell to you, regardless of the long term damage. So the real risk is stupidity and greed, not technology. Humans can not be trusted! Hahaha :)

It would be better to have a risk-free, universally distributed, low cost energy source, but it seems the public has none now. Civilization needs to capture more energy to make progress, but capturing that energy comes with costs, complications and risks.

Probably better materials science will let us create a material that converts vibrations in a yet to be discovered by the public field energy into electrical energy.

As a Clojure developer who did write some Racket, there is a satisfying purity to Scheme (at least to me).
Yes, the assumption, at least in the United States, is cannabis - unless you're in a social circle that routinely and exclusively uses a different drug. But the assumption is 100% cannabis when it's an article posted on April 20.
The point is lowering liability. By choosing to not use voice authentication (or whatever), it becomes easier to argue that fraud is your fault. Or if you did use it, the company 'is doing everything they can' and 'exceeding industry standards' so it isn't their fault, either. It also just makes them seem more secure to the uninitiated (the security-theater bit, yes).

Maybe one day someone will successfully argue that adding easily defeated checks lowers security, by adding friction for no reason or instilling false confidence in users at both ends.
Not China, New Zeeland... If rumors of wealthy people building doomsday bunkers there are true.

Which is equally useless as NZ is aligned with the US and so will not avoid the consequence in case of a conflit with the 'axis of "evil" countries'.
I know I've tooted its horn before, but Orange3 is a pretty neat Python-based GUI platform that makes this and a metric buttload of other statistical/ML techniques available to non-programmer types.

I agree that psychology applies to the CEO. I agree that any financial decisions they make must involve psychology.

But you are applying the concept of mindset in a way that goes beyond its definition.

Let's say there are two gardeners. One gardener always prunes his hedge so that it stays the same size. The other gardener lets it grow.

This says nothing about whether the gardeners have fixed mindset or growth mindset, because Carol Dweck's concept of mindset (which is what people are talking about when they talk about "fixed mindset vs growth mindset", the phrase you used in your original comment) has nothing to do with plant growth.

Likewise, "fixed mindset vs growth mindset" also has nothing to do with operational growth. If a CEO decides to cut costs, we cannot deduce that they have a fixed mindset. We also can't deduce that they have a growth mindset. Mindset is not about the action taken, but about psychology/attitude/thinking.

Let's say a startup has negative growth. A fixed mindset CEO might think "I wasn't born to be a CEO" and quit. A growth mindset CEO might think "I can learn from my mistakes. We will try strategy X this year", where X could be cutting costs to extend runway, or it could be to get more funding to spend even more, but the actual strategy is unimportant, since "mindset" has nothing to do with operational growth.
This is the thesis of Bullshit Jobs!
For someone lazy - what is the set up for the "evil" amongst aka vim users
Precisely. I started high school in 1992 and the only two IBM-PC compatibles in the computer class (the rest being CP/M machines) were an XT-8086 and an AT-80286. The XT had a very fast Turbo Pascal compiler, I don't recall the exact version but could have been 3.0. AT machine had 5.0 or something and was significantly slower although not to render it unusable. That's until someone wiped out 3.0 from the XT machine and replaced it with the same 5.0. Compile time of a simple "hello world" program raised from under 1 second to at least a minute. Rendered unusable and worst part was that 3.0 was completely gone, no floppies to re-install it. They had it solely on the hard drive (probably 20Mb or so) but now was gone.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

I boycott Dominos for putting up a "don't feed the workers" sign. It doesn't matter if other companies do the same, I'm boycotting that one.
And this is news? Is the U.S. government spending billions on water infrastructure news, too?

I will say, the U.S. government has a love-hate relationship with silicon valley... and vice versa. The Gov't (who are made up of your peers/neighbors and represent you, U.S. readers) likes the fast disruption of the old gaurd and technology caps, but hates the lack of transparency and "shrugged-off acceptance of failure" (i.e. shrugged-off responsibility for the ROI on the american tax dollar investment). S.V. loves the big checks (e.g. Andruil, Sentry AI, etc.), but hates the bearacracy of having to ultimately answer to the American people.

Regardless, the government is of course spending massive amounts of funds in AI. If they weren't, that would be ridiculous.
A survey about how motivated the users felt? I am not convinced by this data. Surely we can do better.

A lot of this is bought in instalments isn’t it?
Purchasing bitcoin on any random date in history and holding it for four years or more has outperformed every single index, ETF, stock, commodity, real estate every single time.

Betting on a single index even being around in 100 years is risky. Betting on the dollar lasting 100 years is risky. Betting on Bitcoin lasting 100 years is also risky.

I think looking at 5, 10, or 20 time horizons is more practical and I have high confidence that Bitcoin will continue to be the best performing asset on those time horizons.
A lot of the delay in finding a cure was due to a lack of interest in finding a cure because of social stigma around HIV. You say it took 14 years for the first mitigations after HIV started to be noticed, but we could like move much faster than that if we tried harder.

8-10 years is an average. Some people would start dying earlier, setting the alarm bells ringing, but you have a point that 1981 doesn’t represent the point where the clock starts ticking for global survival. Airborne transmission doesn’t guarantee 100% infection rates, and so there’s likely some extra time built in there as the virus spreads. For sure it would be a crisis much worse than COVID, but I dont think the picture would be as bleak for the species as you paint it.
I took the other route and figured it would be a good idea to be high all the time.

It's worked out pretty well over many years and now I see it much the same as coffee or sugar for mood modulation.

If anything, I wish we were allowed small amounts of cocaine/morphine like the old days, because I think those too would be useful modulators, but you can't use them all the time.

Also, happy holiday to everyone :)
I don't hate capitalism, I like it.

However, pay scales in accordance with revenue. If you are running red ink (as was the case here) and you can't increase revenue sufficiently, then costs including payroll should be decreased to get back in the black.

Multiple executives each taking somewhere around $150,000.00 in pay when you're in the red is arguably too much compensation.
Great useful response: thank you.
I recently made a big purchase (around $8000) from a website which I'd not heard of, or interacted with, before.

It was pretty stressful. I did the obvious research, reviews, streetview, even phoned them, but all that can be faked if they try hard enough.

Fortunately they are legit, and I was reasonably sure they were before I clicked on "buy". I did discount a similar site because I wasn't convinced.

My mom is not a techie. She doesn't necessarily think of "fake sites" as being a thing. So a reminder that there's fake out there is not necessarily a bad thing. (To be fair, I work at keeping her at least a bit cautious.)

I don't know if it's pushing any bank costs or liabilities away. If you pay money to a scammer, I doubt the bank is liable. I'm not sure the bank can determine the legitimacy of a receiver, or tell a real transaction from a fake one.
Ahhh, not 50 up close photos of a scientist. Phew!
How serious was this? As someone close to it do you have a picture? :)
There was a Mini C (C subset) compiler written in Mini C and running on a Russian version of z80 in the beginning of 80’s. It was small and very observable (I’ve changed the code generator there to produce code for IBM/370 - and so we’ve bootstrapped this compiler to a Russian IBM/370 to run some games written in Mini C))

Not sure if such a thing is much better than assembly language in industrial context: it would speed coding up, but you would need to check the results thoroughly. Only the real test can tell if there is a time / quality benefit in sum.
I'm thinking of building something like this over the summer, an open-source alternative that is integrated into desktop with a community effort on building a training data source.

However the biggest concern is that it would cost a lot of money to build this. If you have any thoughts/advice I'd be happy to chat.

Depends on which country and state you are in. It also depends on the history of the company you work for, the reputation and history as presented by women working in your organization (present and past).

People talk, and if your company is known in public or private discussion groups as hostile to people, or advertises itself with a laundry list of red flag terms, you might not have much luck recruiting women.

The great thing is that there are lots of resources for companies who want to change the culture at their company and who can work to make your company more attractive to women and other under-represented communities!
wow and I just bookmarked this in the News folder
It looks like it runs "RouterOS" which has a Linux kernel, so it should be possible to run it there.

I found this board on AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003540616473.html?spm=a2...) based on the CM4 and with 3 cellular modems. That could also be a good candidate.

Also found this one (https://www.gateworks.com/products/industrial-single-board-c...) US-made and has 3 minipcie slots (other options available with 2 and 4)
Racket is my favorite language. It's fast, practical, has solid foundations and an extremely nice concurrency story (based on concepts borrowed and extended from Concurrent ML). It has an excellent documentation system, with an integrated package ecosystem, which means that most packages have high quality documentation with cross-references. It has a great backwards-compatibility story -- a lot better than Python's, for example, which I use in my current dayjob. So, my impression of the commenters saying it's too academic or not practical is that they probably never dove deeply enough, or they are former students who were only exposed to the teaching languages in the past. It's definitely not perfect: the community is small, the runtime has a high memory baseline, parallelism requires spinning up a Racket VM per system thread, among others, but these are things that will improve over time.

In the past several years, I've:

* built & run an e-commerce site written in Racket[1]

* built a native macOS and iOS reminders app, available on the App Store [2, 3, 4]

* built a cross-platform desktop client for Apache Kafka [5, 6, 7]

* built a `#lang` for Lua [8]

Among[9] other[10] things[11]. I think that's all pretty practical stuff!

Consultation Opens on a Digital Currency for New Zealand
This is completely a cultural thing. Plenty of female engineers from Eastern European and Asian countries. I worked with a Romanian female nuclear physicist-turned dev who realized slinging JavaScript was far more lucrative than academia.
I was originally introduced to the term "virtue signalling" by the example of rich people choosing to wear Rolex watches and hating anyone who wore a fake Rolex far more than the merely looking down on people who wore a normal watch or no watch.

Rolex watches keep worse time than a Casio F-91W:

"""It’s accepted that a normal range of time lost for a watch is close to 3 minutes per month. If your watch is gaining time, the norm is around 6 additional minutes per month. If your Rolex falls within these specs, your watch is keeping time beautifully.""" - https://watchchest.com/journal/rolex-timekeeping-accuracy-ex...

vs.

"Accuracy at normal temperature: ±30 seconds a month" - https://www.manualslib.com/manual/3098565/Casio-F91w.html

When people use the phrase "virtue signalling" to indicate tribal identification, I think that itself is an act of "virtue signalling" in the sense they are using it; conversely for the usage I learned, it has to be a costly signal, something objectively bad value that you're showing off, because if you're doing a directly good thing (or too cheap to matter) then it's not a metaphorical peacock tail — which sports team you follow, that's not "virtue signalling" by itself, but getting into a punch-up over which team you're in, that would be.
There’s cameras everywhere, it’s not going to be someone breathing on your neck anymore.
Stop forcing things. I agree that having a diverse workforce is beneficial for everyone, the company, the workforce, and to some extent society, but this isn't the way to go about it.

If there aren't any woman to hire in tech roles, find out why that is and tackle _that_ problem. Assuming of course it's a problem, which is an assumption we're sweeping under the rug. Culturally, we're pushing woman away from tech. On the other hand, it is a given in neural science that — oversimplification warning — men like "things", and woman like "people". It's not surprising then that there are more men in work that involves "things".

An initiative like this does nothing but foster resentment and push-back.

No amount of downvotes will change facts.

Not seamlessly. It seems to work but is half-broken. Id does not properly pair invitations, updates and RSVPs from emails with auto-created items (by the Exchange server) and you end up with duplicates and mess. At leas that was my experience when I used this setup. Then moved to evolution for email and web outlook exclusively for calendar.
Now I am on windows partly for lack of proper Outlook and Teams on linux (sad).
It’s kind of silly that the law draws a distinction between face, thumbprint, and passcode. The purpose of any of those authentication mechanisms is to prevent unauthorized parties from reading your phone. Yes, a passcode is compelled information, but from the perspective of the phone so is a thumbprint or a face scan. On the other hand, if accessing the phone is legal, then it also shouldn’t matter what the particular form of authentication is.

I’m not sure how much it matters that the suspect was on parole though.

I've seen many SSD failures in servers and all but one were just gone. No longer visible via the disk interface. The other one just had very slow response for quite some time (I think it was reallocating related to a large cluster of failing flash).

I have heard rumors that SSDs can go into read-only mode, but never experienced it. Our write rate was relatively low though, and we did not include it in our monitoring.

This. Took me some time until I figured this out. I would definitely not discover this if I was a new user, but I migrated my profile from linux where everything was fast (with the same mailbox) so I was suspicious.
> Or to ask your question in reverse, show me a place with a large amount of land area under permissive zoning that has higher housing costs than NYC or SF.

Ultimately, the question I find most interesting is: Which cities have achieved very high density while maintaining a low cost of living (relative to local salaries)?

We can debate "If only they did ..." forever, but if there are no actual cities where this has ever happened, maybe the answer is that it can't happen.
Face ID for the win :) Good luck using the same powers to force people into not keeping one eye closed.
>Men are just inherently more interested in "things" while women are inherently more interested in "people"

This makes evolutionary sense too: Socializing with your peers as a would-be mother improves the chances you will have children and have them survive. Focusing on your productivity as a would-be father improves the chances your tribe and thus your children, if any, will survive.

Women who don't socialize won't have children, and men who are too unproductive will drag their tribe down and fail to find a mate.

Do you realise coffe has no positive effect on mood, in long term use? You have to keep drinking it, just to feel the same as non addict. Any positive effect it may have, are balanced out by negative (anxiety, sleep disturbance and stomache damage).

There is a lot of nonsense and false advertising surrounding coffe (daily dose that is officially considered safe is like 6 cups of coffe a day).

You can stay away from junk, and be naturally high. That is the normal state for an organism to be in.

Then this article is for the 7.2% who can. Given the huge amount of JavaScript devs, that's still a big audience.
Accusations of virtue signaling, I've often observed, is most commonly employed by those who want to virtue signal their supposed superior sense of rationality and lack of bias, despite tacitly staking out moral positions of their own in order to make the accusation in the first place. It's all feigned neutrality and pretending to be above it all.
This is not at all what Google does, though.

I think we really need to separate the two aspects of CS education. Universities should not be job training centers and vice versa. We already have bootcamps, etc. which provide very practical training. I'm pretty sure that CS is the only field with complaints about not being practical enough. Mathematics, physics, medicine, etc. all manage to get along fine.
