Readit NewsI am not american so i wonder what is the situation like in US but in Singapore it is very visible that each race stick to its own and pushes its own up. Indians to indians, chinese to chinese, filipinos to filipinos.
SG is touted to be multicultural but what is the true meaning of this?
I think it also speaks to the fact that without forced integration people will naturally converge to whatever is familiar to them, eventually forming enclaves.
Where does the workplace dishonesty start and end?
Does the person think that their colleagues have the same rules, or different rules?
How does that affect their work environment?
(Incidentally, I'm sick of HN downvoting legitimate comments.)
And furthermore, as an employee end of the day it's your right to have to be look out for yourself. You probably don't realize that because you're infected with startupitis where everyone has to be all in to succeed.
Who are the 7 million people going out to buy the 20th Persona game? What are you actually hoping to get from it that isn't just a slight variance on something you've already had multiple times before?
I have friends genuinely excited to go buy Mario Cart for the 17th time this year... Once you've made two objects move along an enclosed route at differing speeds and slapped Nintendo marketing on top hasn't the game play evolved as much as possible?
Could the money not be better spent coming up with new and interesting concepts rather than copy pasting the same stuff out every 12-18 months?
And even if a "new and interesting concept" turns up, it's is too bothersome to learn for them. That's why once they find the fun in one thing, they tend to stick to it and be blind to others.
This is extremely poor understanding. All engineering is full of discovery. Electrical engineers are constantly discovering new circuits that do the same task but with different resource usages and performance trade-offs. Civil engineers are doing the same thing with buildings. etc.
> Software development has the benefit of relying on abstraction layers....
So does every other engineering discipline. You think every new machine is built from first principles?
> Computing is so complex that these interfaces are never perfectly clean...
Author seems to imply that this is something unique to computing. Probably because they have never tried to build a complex analog circuit by assembling together a bunch of component circuits.
Like there's like nothing on people management in orgs. Like treating engineers like robots as though they'll unquestioningly follow what the author prescribed.
do instructors really require people submit PSDs or do students export their stuff to jpg/png/whatever and submit the export
IIRC PSDs contain some process related information that instructors check on; like for example photoshop layering contributes to file sizes and they don't want their students abusing it to the point of large file sizes; it'd look bad for their school's reputation.
However, employees work in a company with other people, so we'd like to know what we can and can't trust from each other.
If a colleague engages in criminal fraud, do they have a rigorous philosophy about when and when not to do that? How do they behave towards the team? Is defrauding the company OK, over something they think they company shouldn't demand anyway, but they will still be honest and responsible towards their teammates? That would be very good to know.
If so many people weren't so anxious to downvote things that don't suit their kneejerk reactions, we could discuss this.
I think the question you're really asking is whether or not they can be trusted down the line so that the system 'works'.
So here's the thing: You can never have a 100% guaranteed trust that someone is going to be doing as the company wills and wishes them to be, even if you have a written contract, and even if you shove a bunch of extra rules in it.
When it comes down to it, people will always have to look out for their best interests eventually, and having extra unneeded rules will push them to think transactionally, system and morals be damned. So the solution would be to treat them well enough to not have them think about it in the first place.
