I have witnessed software development jobs being threatened by one thing or another for the last 20 years. At this point I see the jobs moving from CA to states with sane politics/CoL (or even to Europe, at least judging from the lates

A participant in an abusive relationship can move back to her parents any day, all she needs is a bus ticket. For a person born under Communism the best case is to go to the Gulag if he tries to cross the border. It gets better, in the USSR

I didn't phrase it correctly. What I meant was that Mr Steele was part of the Java org in the early days. He is from a generation before my time but from what I gather a Scheme/Lisp luminary is someone who is competitive with the

The parallels to Java are so fascinating on multiple levels. Did you know that Guy Steele was behind it too? At one point it was a revelation to me that the Java designers were not rookies, they just made a conscious decision to dumb things

The Innovator's Dilemma book popularized the idea that it's frequently newcomers who are the beneficiaries of breakthrough changes for mostly structural reasons. Could it apply to individual people too in this case?

Speaking of banks. I am not sure about other states but in CA it is so common to see impressive buildings that used to be banks 100 years ago. They look almost like Greek temples. Recent examples that come to mind: Petaluma and Cambria. For

I expected to see some juicy golang bashing from someone used to sane error handling, pattern matching, and powerful collections libraries. But complaining about "GRPC and Protobuf are overengineered and underdocumented" just does

My 2 yo car shows 47MPG and its safety features (e.g. adaptive cruise control and the ability to stay in lane) are more addictive than I expected. A 20 yo car strikes me as unrealistic extreme even though I drove my previous one for 10 year

At least in CA your property tax is, roughly speaking, based on the last sold price. The lower the price the higher percentage of it is covered by your savings.

They don't distinguish between managed environments/multilingual platforms (JVM, .NET, wasm) and single pony shows. Which makes it harder to see how related Scala/Kotlin/Java are and how much they overlap ecosystem-wise.

And all the YAML-oriented programming it entails. When frequently the only way to test is to constantly re-deploy two-line changes via CI/CD just to see what breaks in a few minutes.

The way I remember circa 2010, GitHub made two techniques mainstream: * constantly creating branches even for small changes because merges became so magical (e.g. in comparison with SVN) * code reviews because they had nice visual tooling b

That's why there are typically multiple secret services (with different missions but similar skillsets). They are encouraged to spy on each other. None is allowed to dominate everyone else. Remember the movie Valkyrie? It provides anot

This is similar to what bodyshops used to do 15+ years ago to the developers they brought in on H1Bs. To prevent them from jumping ship once they are in the country. Curiously, the penalty was also about $15K and typical compensation about

I believe there's a pretty common approach implied here that assumes that SQL DDL is what you start from. It's nicely aligned with how RDBMS schema changes are usually applied too (i.e. a DDL script to make changes and possibly an

In a vast country like ours I'd expect the government to be able to find cheap secluded places (in states such as NV?) where new reactors can be built. And then rich states such as CA buy the electricity from them. And probably invest
