Well, the consoles always win on optimization. However, Windows is a lot better supported than Linux or Mac. There's no other way to see it, really.
Earbuds can do that; the audio "sounds" low to you, but you're only perceiving the delta between the device volume and environment noise. That's why I stopped using earbuds; when I would put my hand to my earbuds, the volume would shoot up from isolating the environment noise, and I got an idea of how loud my device actually was.

I recommend noise-cancelling earphones, because they deal with the delta problem for the most part; but you can obviously still run into the problem of setting and forgetting the volume, which is fine for one thing but too loud for something else.

Summary: Toyota settled an unintended acceleration lawsuit connected with analysis of the source code for a 2005 Toyota Camry showed it was defective "spaghetti code."

There'a a lot of poorly-organized code in the world, and a typical excuse for not cleaning it up is that "it works" so there would be no return on fixing it. In the Toyota case, the code may have contributed to unintended acceleration, and did result in a legal exposure for which Toyota felt it was necessary to settle a lawsuit.

It doesn't matter how much money you make. You're using someone else's property and that's what you pay license fees for. Although I generally object the equivalence of physical and intellectual property -- this isn't any different from selling physical goods:

If you want to give a thousand records away practically for free, you still have to buy the thousand records and the producer has no obligation to give you a discount just because you're not going to make money with it. Not even if you have to pay for the cars to pick up and drop off the records and the wages of the people delivering the records. If you want to burn your own money, nobody is stopping you. But don't ask other people to add their money to the pyre for free.
For one of my current clients, I still bill only the time I actually work. It's a long-term project with no explicit end-date. I'm trying to get out of, I want to do shorter-term projects now, but while I'm here, they've hired me for the fact that I can crush out code and make things better than their own employees. They didn't buy a specific thing, they buy my expertise.

It means I'm not making as much as I could be, but it's not their fault I agreed to the arrangement 3 years ago.

I find that to be an odd opinion. More competition tends to work out in the consumer's favor, doesn't it?

I think what we're missing is curation. In the hardware world, there are companies like Alienware and Apple that whittle down those choices into fairly straightforward options (though for a hefty premium, usually). For gaming, Steam is working on a Curators[1] feature that seems to be an alright start, but still needs a lot of work.

High-trust and low-trust understate the severity of the phase change, which is more accurately described as a shift from trust-density to trust-sparsity. You go from a state where people spawn with the "bozo bit" off to one where they spawn with it on. You get a completely different political dynamic when that happens.

Obviously, trust has varying degrees and context. In Japan, you can leave your laptop at a cafe; in the U.S., you probably wouldn't. That doesn't mean that we're "low trust" or trust-sparse. We might generally trust most people to be decent while aware of the ~0.05% (?) chance per person (that someone steals the computer.

What is changing is trust with regard to competence. People were never so foolish as to trust all others without limits, but there used to be an assumption of competence in the professional world. Institutions like universities are less trusted, and so are people in general when it comes to basic competence and readiness for autonomy. It would be unthinkable, 20 years ago, that CS graduates from MIT and Stanford could be expected to justify hours of their time in "Scrum ceremonies" (which means that they aren't trusted, which means that their credentialing institutions and work experiences aren't trusted). Even average programmers in the bowels of Fortune 500's IT organizations had more autonomy than the typical "Agile" programmer today.

Right now we are in an era of organizational decline. It's not necessarily catastrophic; it might not even be bad. What it does mean is that institutions (universities, professional organizations, corporations, and even unions) have lost their role as central brokers of trust. It raises interesting questions. Thus far, most of the successful startups have been beneficiaries of institutional decline (and, again, some of those institutions deserved to break down, so I'm not moralizing) and there doesn't seem to be any economic reward to build institutions (as opposed to mere corporations, smaller in scope) up... so it doesn't happen.

> And noisy environment - a field is often table-top flat and empty of all obstructions.

Perhaps this is true in certain parts of the country, but certainly wasn't my experience growing up in the Southeast. The land there tended to be mostly rolling hills, basically no field was totally table-top flat. (And the 3rd paragraph in TFA mentions that the land there even in Kansas is hilly so he does the first pass).

Obviously you want few obstacles to maximize the useful land area, but fields often had ponds, creeks, patches of trees that broke things up, not to mention unknown obstacles like fallen trees or fences, wild animals, etc. that happen 'randomly'. I'm actually curious how much of this the software can handle on its own.

So it's certainly a different challenge, but to imagine most fields as perfectly empty, flat, continuous, homogenous spaces is to over simplify things.
Yep, seconding this.

We just moved into a new space with a six-person desk (rather nice) in a big bullpen, with two executive offices off the side. One exec gets the corner office, but his door is always open and he's always poking his head out to talk to us. He (like us) has mostly glass walls, and feels like he's in a fishbowl. He used to share his office with an intern, though, and I can hang out in there when I want.

The other two execs (CEO, CFO) hole up in the other office, and close the door, and don't really talk, and basically are just aloof. They also covered up all their glass with random posters and things, presumably because they didn't want people looking at them through the glass. Hey, suits! Developers don't like being in an aquarium either! >:-|

The Spotify / Apple streaming payment model isn't even as fair as that:

The revenue from all users is pooled, and then divided per listen rather than per user/artist etc.

So this'd be like splitting the app store sub revenue by "app launches" or some other bullshit.

Pop junk like Taylor gets a far higher fraction of revenue than they deserve, from teens listening to it non-stop.

Artists that I like get 0% of my cash, even if I listen to nothing but their music.

The system would at least be fair in scope if artists got a share of each users subscription fee, split per listen for the songs they listened to.

That the payments involved are very small and mostly go to middlemen is a separate problem, the whole system is designed to fuck niche artists.
> Sadly there's (seemingly) no way to interview people for this ability

I had one interview where the interviewer simply showed me a printed page of code, and asked me to talk about it.

Since at least I spend more time reading code than writing it, that felt like a truer test of my abilities than many of the coding tasks.

And in the same way, I find your comment amazing. What have I said that is so wrong? What have I said that has incensed you so?

If I had made a racist, truly bigoted comment about people of one skin color or another, that would be understandable. Or if I had said that all people of one religion or another were bad people, that would be understandable. Or if I had said that all people of one sex, or from one place, or who do one kind of job were bad, that would be understandable.

But I haven't said anything like that. I've simply stated some facts which anyone can verify with a few moments of googling.

Why does that anger you so? And if what I have said is untrue, why not just cite some Wikipedia article or random web site that refutes my statements? Or if my statements are generalized and need to be nuanced, why not just point that out?

Whether you agree with me or not, I've made some assertions which should be verifiable or disprovable. It's starting a conversation which can move forward toward the truth, whatever that truth may be. If you think the truth is not what I've said, then why don't you show me what you think the truth is?

When you, instead, give the impression that you're so red-faced with anger that steam is pouring from your ears and you can't speak through your clenched teeth, that doesn't make you appear to be the reasonable one. If you're truly speechless, the question is, why?

I ran across this comment[1] from four years ago by an accomplished radiologist claiming computers will never be reading images anytime soon, certainly not in his career. Since I worked on an IBM filmless radiology system for the US military hospitals (DIN-PACS) in the late 90s, I wondered about the current state of the art in computer-assisted radiology. Turns out IBM Watson and other AI techniques are preparing to solve the fatigue problem of human radiologists reading thousands of images a day. Just like military radar operators got lots of automated assistance, radiologists will soon be backed up by automated systems. Humans are poor at estimating an exponential rate of change.

Speeding Up Your JavaScript Test Suite
Well, to get to the point of being interviewed, you had to have some education (either formal or self taught, or both). This involved writing a lot of code (homework assignments, etc) that you didn't get paid for. And you had to write / polish up your resume, again without getting paid for it. And you had to drive to the site without compensation (unless the place is big enough to fly candidates across country for the interview). So why would actually demonstrating your competence raise a red flag? Either they like what you did and you get hired (in which case you are getting paid for the work), or they don't like it, won't use it, and it is no worse than putting a bit of work into a homework assignment that you ended up getting a C on.

Another seemingly imperceptible disruption is vibration, ie "physical noise". I had the bottom-of-the-totem-pole pleasure of having the (open) office space right by the restroom, kitchen, and coffee machine.

The major noises were not the main problem; the problem was the stress of people beelining for either of the three with the felicity of an elephant stampede.

Add to this office congestion the pleasure of a female stampede of high heels or male Italian shoes.

Which is not to say that a coffee machine can't shake the foundation of the building like a malcontent washing machine.

It's driven me up the fucking wall, and it is by far my biggest annoyance with an open office.

Keep this in mind, the next time you or someone else goes on about dress code - or taking things easy. Hell, give your employees the option of company-provided sneakers. Then you can still dictate style guidelines.

Either that or give people a goddamn vibration-dampened fastlane.

Behind every terrible work of art is a creator insisting that it's brilliant.

Artists love their art the way parents love their children. That means they're not really reliable judges of its quality, so a key to success for them is finding people who can be objective, and learning to listen to them.

Getting the admin-interface correct is one of those holy grails. The problem I typically run into is adding complex wizards or features outside of the standard crud stack.

When I'm investigating an out of the box admin interface I'm _less concerned_ about how they handle CRUD; that's the easy part. Really I need to know how they handle things that go well beyond their stack.

For example, in one application we need to create events for people (like google calendar). You need to be able to search for people, show the system what they already have assigned at that time and allow you to choose times that are best for everyone in the list. This has been designed as a multi-step wizard and it works great but it was a ton of custom code. Looking at the online documentation of flask I'm not sure how I would go about integrating something like this.

I agree. A farm is a type of factory, and thus has fairly controlled conditions compared to a public thoroughfare. Any number of solutions could work for a farm that would be untenable for self driving cars, such as marking the expected area with sensors to define the working area, outlining the area on a GPS map, running the equipment over the area one or more times to teach it, etc. None of these work as a general purpose solution to a self driving car, and they might not even be progenitors to the self driving technology we end up with.

A solution to a highly constrained version of a problem may not be applicable to the general purpose problem in any way.

Edit: mean to say "may not be applicable" in last sentence.

It is catchable and observable on modern hardware; mainframes have been doing it for years, with the operation also existing on some specialty Intel chips. Cores are paired, with each operation going through each of them simultaneously with the results compared. If the results don't match, they're run through again. If they still don't match, that pair of cores is shut down and operations are redirected.

Flat hierarchy is a big one. Many startups use it to convince junior hires that they'll be two hops from the CEO when, in fact, that CTO has 75 reports and the junior engineer is actually two de facto levels below where he was told he'd be in the offer letter.

Investor contact is another, related, one. When engineers accept 0.05% equity slices at the expense of hedge-fund jobs, they're doing it because they've been told (and haven't had the life experience to have doubts) that they'll have investor contact within 6 months if they do a good job, and have the connections necessary to be founders inside of 18 months. It almost never happens that way.
I find it interesting how the social structures of animals are independent of their intelligence, to an extent. I always associate the societal structure humanity has achieved with our intelligence, so seeing examples like ants and termites breaks me out of that habit.
