I'm not familiar with Clojure, but: how would that suggestion handle a model like: `hometown: City extends String, livesIn: City extends String` Is the counter-argument that these are poorly specified types, and it should be: `hometown

This is a bad idea. 1. The main point of the visibility timeout is to handle failure. A message is read by a consumer; the visibility timeout starts; that consumer finishes some processing; then deletes the message from the queue. But, what

Sure; but 8 times out of 10, these things happen and there's no recession. People were SCREAMING recession recession recession in 2020 Q1-Q2. It never materialized. You've got the "well we kicked the can down the road" g

I agree, and I think the argument "well most of it is stock" is also bullshit. Comp is comp; warehouse workers could be granted RSUs, but they don't (afaik) because reasons. Every dollar he's compensated could be compens

The funny thing about recessions, and macroeconomics as a whole; much of the time, we eat the food we cook. If there is an upcoming recession, the most likely root cause is that a bunch of people believed there will be an upcoming recession

Right, and I think that strikes at the core of the issue; AWS allows you to configure things in insecure, poorly architected ways. Then they'll tell you "oh this is bad, you should fix that", as if they weren't the ones

Here's what you're missing: The USD:USDT exchange rate should always be 1:1. If 1 USDT is, due to market pressure, suddenly worth $0.98 USD, Tether's responsibility involves some analysis of either waiting for the market to r

I feel that. Not everyone wants to make keyboards a hobby. What I'll say is: I've had both the MX Keys, and the G915. The MX Keys is the baby brother chicklet version of this one. The G915 is Logitech's gaming-grade low-profi

I'd say Yeah. I use and pay for their Apps platform for a few personal projects. Its cheap (like $5/mo/app). It reminds me enough of Heroku that I'm happy. The built-in CI is kind of slow. But it just works and requires

Here's the stance I take: there are many reasons why something might be labeled tech debt. However; assuming the remediation of that debt is implemented in good faith, by reasonable skilled engineers; there is near-always business valu

Precisely; and that's a big reason I would disagree with the OP and say that the method of "do in 2 hours what takes someone else 8 then take the day off" is actually a bad strategy for managing stress. First; you're gon

Here's another stat: Over the past month, the entire cryptocurrency market lost over $1T USD in market capitalization; about 50%. There's different ways one can look at this situation. I take a bit of a grim view, for crypto as a

Both examples are toxic; malicious; whatever adjective you'd like to use. If the alternative is to worry about devaluing the word, and thus letting less-toxic-by-whatever-definition-suits-me-best workplaces slide, because dontchaknow s

Here's a list of every advantage I've heard about GraphQL. All of these advantages were used as evidence to push a transition internally at my organization. Many regret it at this point, not to spoil the conclusion, but: (1) Its s

I'd argue GraphQL really doesn't even solve that "mini-query-language" problem all that well. But, I'm with you; that's how its sold. Its one of the big things its proponents say. And it fails at it. Let me pic

In your worldview: the government subsidizes rural life by... building roads? Making gas cheaper? How does all the food grown in rural areas make it into cities? Not by teleportation; by being loaded into semis, driven on roads, using gas.

Agreed. I'm a founder of a 3d design & printing shop; of the three of us, one prefers Fusion, one prefers TinkerCAD, and I prefer Shapr3D. It really distills Fusion down; taking the, maybe, 40% of Fusion that 70% of people use 90%

This idea that "eventually you make enough where money doesn't matter anymore" is a meme that couldn't be more wrong. Its the kind of thing said by someone who has never made that much money, but who is extrapolating the
