1. If you have the money take some time off and go somewhere. Bring the kids if you need to. At least two months. 2. While there, consider if burnout is partially your subconscious telling you something. A lot of people, myself included, ha

Let's discuss language first then. I do not think every weakness is a vulnerability. Were it so, then all things are vulnerabilities to some agent or entity in some sense, since weakness is often defined in relative terms. If another s

There is also the down side of up. At some point, maybe ten or twenty years from now, we're going to have a lot of bankrupt companies around the hydrocarbon economy. Everything from gas stations to oil rigs is going to have non-trivi

Honestly, as a former government contractor at a couple different places, this is pretty good bang for the buck. The planning meetings alone were probably $12m.

What you're missing is that most people in web dev use a full featured framework like Django or Rails and do not need unit tests nearly as much as integration tests because very, very, very often most of the architectural decisions hav

Also, ArriveCan was frequently mentioned by many in the protests around covid. From my end: I dislike near-mandatory apps by governments, but I felt like Covid was an exceptional time and at least it is non-mandatory now at the boarder.

Premature class isolation: Usually bad. Some notable exceptions are things like addresses where many times users have multiple, but usually people splitting up the user table and the "user profile" table are just causing headaches

I switched to just grep, but it's still part of the same line of thinking. I really, really, really dislike it when something that used to be reliable changes or is removed. I understand and accept that things change, but when it'

The problem is that we don't just live on our own machines. We hop around to different boxes and just being able to type what you are used to matters. My dotfiles and other tools don't go or even work everywhere. We shouldn't

I will actually answer the question. Design the website. Really be sure you've got it right. It's going to be very painful to get it wrong. Burn the website into an ASIC. The ASIC should have multiple, redundant communications cha

The problem I have with economists is that they pour their effort into what is trackable after waving away the softer stuff. What does it rhyme with? - Companies that pour their effort into fine tuning their websites and adverts based off o

I've had the same idea. Operationally, what's needed is speed . I do not care to learn some obscure, poorly documented API by trial and error. If I could write a failing test or three in a playground then post it in an appropriat

You're teasing, but I understand the question so I'll answer. I've had a good deal of joyous fun exploring quirky ideas with mathematics and software. It's old hat now, but back in 2011 I repurposed an algorithm primaril

It's easier in some languages than others. There is a delight in doing it, but don't overdo the anticipation. I've found greater delights in programming.

It's not just the economic factors, though of course those are very important, it's the other stuff that comes with trade like stronger familial and social ties, joint cultural appreciation, and so on, that bind together countries

They could also just default on just the portion of the debt that China holds. I never really understood this fear. If you go to war with a country and burn it's debt holdings sure you get a knock on your trustworthiness a touch, but i

I disagree. Certain systems are more efficient if they operate with high trust. The TTC is one of the places where we go with the more efficient option that allows defectors to gain at the cost of others. I actually know someone that is a c

It is news to me that the numbers could be this cooked. I, perhaps naively, thought that trade numbers would betray any meaningful difference in GDP versus the reported figure. I am in the top 1% of news consumption. This is real news if th
