So you had no advantages in life whatsoever except the ones you created for yourself? Everything good in your life is entirely your own doing? Really, there's no such thing as luck?

I was born in a wealthy country, to sane and supportive parents. I was born with a talent for mathematics and technology, and am reasonably intelligent. I had a family that encouraged learning. With the exception of some run-ins with addiction and mood disorders, I still have my health, despite my best efforts to destroy it while an addict. I am sober now partly because of the efforts of others.

I have managed to grab onto some awesome opportunities that have rolled past now that I'm healthier, and am currently working at a shockingly successful startup, but it was not strictly my own doing.

I don't disagree with what I think you're really getting at - take opportunities that present themselves, "luck is when preparation meets opportunity", don't wait around for things to happen, make them happen, and so on. I just think it's a bit of a stretch, and frankly a bit smug, to declare that there's "no such thing as luck."
It's certainly true that if someone in a an architect position does not know the technologies intimately then how can they make informed decisions about it.

They can certainly maintain consistency at a high-level e.g.this next solution will have a REST API, but people still shouldn't be making those decisions without a detailed understanding of the impact of those decisions. I have seen devs move into a pure architect role but as time goes on it does become apparent that they need to be closer to the detail.

I think the definition of architecture should be a dev team effort with the architect role making the final decision (be that lead dev, CTO, whatever job title for that person).

I like the idea suggested in the thread of making the architect a product team/project role.

I think that it's outlandish and silly that ES6 doesn't have a safer, more sound philosophy about type systems, e.g. like the elegant and rational one in TypeScript today.

The web needs increased consistency and cohesion in the HTML/CSS/JS triumvirate.

ES6 seems like a grab-bag of neat and fun new features that end up doing a whole lot of nothing for large projects that have to care about more tangible concerns than nicer ways to create anonymous objects.

Some of the new features of ES6 - Symbols, proxies, Object.observe, et cetera - seem to make it downright easier to write even more confusing code. Instead of increased rigor and tools for building better software, we get stuff like this:

let obj = {
["h"+"ello"]() {
return "hi";
}
};

obj.hello();

While I think it makes sense to stick with TypeScript for the foreseeable future, I do look forward to The Next JavaScript.

However, I can't help but wonder if that's due to a mild case of Stockholm Syndrome setting in.

> I didn't think I wanted kids [...] but I have two

What made you change your mind?

If you strip away any social context (your parents, your partner, your neighbors), would you still opt for kids? To me it looks like a lot of people are nagged on by friends and family before having kids and then taken a lot more seriously afterwards, get more liberties and less questions asked at work, etc. And then .. well then just get on the hype train themselves. Looking in from the outside, it does seem a bit caving into peer pressure at first and suffering from Stockholm Syndrom later.
There are no hotfixes (from Linus, the stable branches are a different matter). And basically the release is just a snapshot of updates that happen to build together with some nudging and silly letters from Linus.

Best would be to just go and use a year.month number. 2014.12, 2014.02, 2015.04. But ultimately, it's just a semi-unique identifier with a lot of context that one should be aware of. (And it's not like you can go and buy a Linuks 4 in stores right now, or just put it into your requirements.txt. So confusion is very minimal, it's just a "tag".)

"Avoid News" by Rolf Dobelli

I don't think xkcd is a good example of practice making perfect. Many former xkcd fans think that the average xkcd comic became noticeable less funny somewhere in the low to mid hundreds. Part of it was the novelty being gone but part, I'd say, really had to do with the quality of the comic's writing.

The author's growing experience and confidence allowed him to pull off ambitious and genuinely imperative things like "Time", which improved the mean comic, but the median never really recovered.
Good grief, by this logic, all photos of Nature should be public domain. All spaceship designs should be public domain. Where does it end? Sorry Atlantic but this is beyond silly.

I always understood this saying to be referring to the difficulty of fixing bugs once known. Some bugs are really hard to understand, reason about, and figure out how to fix. Given a large number of contributors, someone is likely to have just the right mindset and familiarity that the bug is easy for them to understand and fix (it is "shallow" for them).

From "3. MIME Type Registration of text/csv":

Common usage of CSV is US-ASCII, but other character sets defined
by IANA for the "text" tree may be used in conjunction with the
"charset" parameter.

Basically, you can specify that it's UTF-8 or whatever via the Content-Type response header. Setting this response header isn't something an encoder could do. A CSV parsing library also shouldn't be responsible for loading the CSV file via HTTP. In most cases, CSV files aren't directly fetched via HTTP anyways.

Anyhow, ASCII is utter nonsense. We aren't living in an ASCII world. Even the Americans don't do that. An ASCII-only format is completely useless.

Should they even care, if it's not their role? Engineers are hired to problem solve, architects are hired to design.

Think about an architect designing a building: should he/she know the intricacies of every separate sub-system in the building (plumbing, wiring, ventilation, gas...), or rely on experts in each of those sub-systems to resolve implementation issues? The architect is only concerned with pulling together all of these separate efforts to form something cohesive and elegant.
From my enterprise seat, most silos are still there and won't go away regardless how much we wish they would.

Swift is not garbage collected in the slightest. ARC is not garbage collection.

http://sealedabstract.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-...

Once upon a time Objective-C had a real garbage collector but that temporary interlude has not, nor ever will be supported from Swift.

Finally, Swift objects (can be, as compiler decides) laid out on the stack, so unless you have some super sweet stack garbage collection technology you'd like to share with us, they aren't garbage collected.

In any case, I don't see what garbage collection has to do with safety or the borrow checker.

> I don't understand "you just promise the compiler that it's safe"

Perhaps you'd like to read the Rust Book:

> When a type T implements Sync, it indicates to the compiler that something of this type has no possibility of introducing memory unsafety when used from multiple threads concurrently.

I think "you just promise the compiler that it's safe" is an accurate summary of that feature.

> We have been measuring developer cost all along, by writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code in the language as we've been developing it: the Rust compiler is written in Rust, and we've been developing Servo as well.

Would you be satisfied if you wrote a language that is productive only for language designers writing web browsers and compilers? Because that is all your measurements prove.

I'm telling you, as an intermediate Rust developer doing neither of those things, that I am not sure if I am more productive in Rust or C. Rust is certainly safer, but I am not convinced that safety is worth returning to C-like productivity. Performance is, but I can achieve good performance in Swift.

Rust assumes that I value performance and safety equally; e.g. that I am willing to give up productivity for either one. In reality I am only willing to give up productivity for performance. There are some low-hanging safety fruit that I want (like optionals) but the higher-cost fruit like multithread safety I don't want. I think those features are Bad (TM).
I'm not sure I understand the severity here. Is $TZ read before granting sudo permissions, or after? And if after, if someone has sudo rights anyway, surely there are more interesting DoS possibilities?

Or is the risk that someone with restricted sudo rights (say, to an individual command) might be able to do things they weren't supposed to?

Let me give an alternative explanation, championed by Philip Greenspun for women in science jobs: Startup jobs suck, and women are better at recognizing it (scroll past the description of science jobs to "Why do American men (actually boys) do it?"):

http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science

There are no economics by which working at a startup makes sense over a Facebook or a Google. You work longer hours, and make substantially less. Unless you're a founder, even in the event of a successful exit, the stock options will generally barely cover the cost of the paper they're written on. Early employees don't come out competitive with Google until you see billion-plus dollar exits.

Philip's claim was that men tend to make decisions based on testosterone-fueled machismo, and go into areas considered "hard-core" like theoretical math, which rationally, are a waste of time and make no sense to study. As he phrases it, young men make the decision based on:

1. young men strive to achieve high status among their peer group
2. men tend to lack perspective and are unable to step back and ask the question "is this peer group worth impressing?"

This matches my anecdotal experience as well. Women tend to make more rational decisions, and pursue fields with a higher return-on-investment. Men tend to make irrational decisions, and either realize it later (with colossal failures, such as science jobs), or rationalize it later (e.g. "I learned a lot" without really comparing to the alternative -- a job with formal mentorship processes, and both pay and work/life to allow time for pet projects and formal study).

If Philip's claim is correct -- and it does match my anecdotal experience -- the way to draw more women into startups would be to make them appealing to rational players. Typically, an early employee ends up with a fraction-of-a-percent equity at exit (and at best, low single-digit percent at joining). Equity is allocated in numbers (5000 shares) rather than percent, in a successful attempt to confuse.

Is it a full explanation for 2% vs. 28%? Probably not. Bias is surely part of the equation as well. I have no idea what the split is, but I'd be shocked if either explained the gap fully, and I'd be equally shocked if either were insignificant.
Reference for those confused: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vAnuBtyEYE
Interesting that you see it like this. In our case architects are (as the article also proposes):

* regular developers, yet senior

* work on/with teams (not part of a separate architects team)

Though I feel you do hit the point where the description could be written more in terms of "creates buy-in" and "raises awareness".

Thanks for the feedback!
* Stretch, and if I'm tired and have a sliver of time, roll back the other way (and attempt lucid dreaming).

* Brewed coffee or tea (no instant, or teabags) and cigarette.

* Check if there's anything interesting online (buildings exploding, religious nuts doing something crazy, more NSA hacks, Tony Abbot putting his foot in it again.

* Start the 9-5 rat racing for yet another day.

* Wish I had a fulfilling life.
Yeah, as you suggest by your "slightly safer" parenthetical, the mechanical write protection on most SD cards is just a suggestion that the card reader is free to ignore (though obviously most don't).

It's actually specified in the SD spec [1], which says on p. 38 that the mechanical protect switch is "Host responsibility only" and that the "The position of the write protect switch is unknown to the internal circuitry of the card."

Absolutely. I've gotten high quality information from books. Sometimes it seems you gotta pay through the nose... but when you look at it, many of these books are refined down from the person's life in the field. That is pretty cool!
An architect, at least one worth his title, does not work in isolation.

The article talks about a type of architect that I call tech lead. It has as much to do with the architecture process as a front-end developer has to do with mechanical engineering.

There are many types of architect, with vastly different roles and functions within an organisation from pre-sales to business strategy so I strongly argue that people should stop looking to become architects as a step up from being engineers in the same way that fashion models should stop looking at picking up acting as some sort of a graduation when when they get too old for the catwalk.

Some can do it because they have picked up enough knowledge and insight along the way but, for most, it's a new career with a whole new set of skills and responsibilities.
Most of people have kids at some stage, but some choose to bring it up in every conversation. There are many different occupations out there, no need to choose dev.
