I think everyone is missing the point. This was not a call for help. It was an explanation of why things are the way they are and why they will not change. Guy's found a way to make a living with the skillset he has and I say power to

Lesson 3 is not about blaming anyone but acknowledging the nature of the relationships in the space.

He actually addresses why he won't solve any of the "problems" with more manpower. He's found local maxima and is willing to stay there because there are risks associated with moving.

I am about 50 years old. Planting trees scales for at least 50 years. Something on the order of 1000 trees will offset the entire footprint of a upper-middle class non-jetsetter (eats meat, travels 2-4 times per year, car, modest house). Th

Trees will actually do the trick. I looked for an international business that would plant a 1000 trees for me which would offset my entire carbon footprint for my entire life. Didn't find anything except a local one in Iceland [1] in I

I'm not hoping that this specifically will remedy her problems. But general understanding of hearing loss might have advanced since her non-diagnosis.

My wife has premature hearing loss of an unknown cause. Doctor kind of shrugged when asked what could be done about it. This was some 15 years ago. I'll push her to make an appointment with a doc again to see if something new has been

Well, we will leave a lot of concentrated radioactive material in dump pits. A bit like the dinos leaving oil in the ground just a lot harder to engineer easy ways of harvesting the energy....

This idea is pretty neat. You can bulk upload some log file or conditionally pipe output to a service like that and send the URI via SMS. I'd think that most of services like those would like to use federated logins and be on premise o

In some sense it's very democratic for leaders to promise the moon. It's a bit worse for countries where coalition governments are the norm. Parties hide behind the coalition when they can't (inevitably) make everything happe

That's a problem as old as voting. I didn't say it invalidated democracy at it's core.

The most successful attacks on democracy are gerrymandering (US especially) and misinformation (global problem, see Brexit thou specifically). Don't get me wrong, this sort of security is necessary but there's nothing wrong with t

You don't have to imagine that world, merely adjust the ratio of people living in it. Are we at 30% of the population living in that world already? Is the ratio progressing towards 99%? How quickly?

We mostly use Office. Out of the ~120 workstations we only have ~10 Linux users. 6 of those are sysadmins/developers. Only 2 statisticians have Linux and they mostly use softwares besides productivity suits. We at least have no complai

Ours is a more ad-hoc process than that. I work for Statistics Iceland. We are not changing OS or productivity suite (yet at least). Those that want Linux on their laptops get Ubuntu. We deploy Libreoffice alongside Office. Users using oth

I'm waiting for some of these documents being made public. I am working for a government institution that is making much of the same moves. Would be nice to see what an immense IT undertaking like this comes up with.

I've used the Django ORM professionally for 8 years. Back when I started migrations came in the form of the South app. I can remember one time where the ORM spat out SQL and that was a migration where I botched something in the index o

I used MySQL till about 2012. Inherited an intricate Postgres database at a job and found lots of ways to tweak it that were not as easy in MySQL. I would only touch MySQL today if I'm not working on a greenfield.

In Iceland it's pretty normal. We know Icelandic (ofc.) and learn English, one Scandinavian language (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish), then at 15 one of German, French, Italian or Spanish. We are on an island in the middle of th

It's also a risk in case of theft or loss of mind if the hardware is misplaced/lost. Any org with laptop deployments should take a hard look at this bug.

Your list lacks detail where AdG includes very specific things to solve.

It's important enough a "discovery" in and of itself to come up with the definitive list. You can't solve a problem if you don't know what it is.

Well, we've had some wonderful crackpots through the ages. Tesla comes to mind. Whatever you think about his idea of escape velocity you can't doubt the engineering approach he advocates makes sense. Solve these 7 problems [1] a
