Not so much different from how people work sometimes though - and in the case of certain types of pscychopathy it's not far at all from the fact that the words being emitted are associated with the correct training behavior and nothing

> Those are still feelings reserved only for real human beings Those aren't feelings, they are words associated with a negative outcome that resulted from the actions of the subject.

It's compounded with multiple teams and ownership. So one team's bugs necessitate another team's workarounds.

Yeah you want to focus on the outside corners of the port and be gentle with the inside contacts.

The moat gets mighty large when the government regulators start making it bigger. That's one of the advantages that the Mag 7 has now - it's not just the scale but it's also the compliance burden for new entrants.

IMHO the best way to deal with that situation is to mark the bug as wontfix. Better to have a policy of always fixing bugs but be more flexible on what counts as a bug (and making sure the list of them is very small and being actively work

Yeah, Joel Spolsky is adamant about this with the "Bugs First" approach and he claims most of the delays and garbage that Microsoft released during the early years of his career were centered on that one rule being violated.

They would have to include the UK and it would actually be a good European project (not just EU) to maybe bring them back into the fold.

Also I'm sure there are university labs that can do similar things as ASML ... the bigger problem is doing it at scale in a repeatable way that can be sold as an actual product and also not infringing on ASML patents.

Not just effectiveness, but speed.

I think that's a good thing and VC getting back to it's roots. I'm glad that scientists doing AI are getting big money and don't know exactly what the product will be rather than some business person with a slick deck a

The reason they don't believe in the luck part is because the person suggesting it is just saying, "in addition to everything else you did, luck played a critical part". But the successful person hears, "you are only su

Yeah there was this great cartoon many years back where a guy is on his computer and the FBI is looking over his shoulder at his screen. A character named 'Facebook' is pushing him aside and says "Let me show you how to do i

lol you've 'talked' about switching. I'm really surprised that any startup would be on Teams in the first place. I get enterprises but for startups I would think other tools make more sense (Slack, etc...).

If the deal is in California's and OpenAI's interests roughly than there is no corruption. Sure they're using their big weapons but there's not a major principal-agent divergence on either side from what I can see. Alt

monetization is straightforward - the only question is who gets the money and which business models succeed.

Depends on the type of engineer - NYC for fintech is also a top spot, Boston for robotics, etc...

Yeah this is always my worry about the global warming debate. It's a crisis for sure but there are so many local initiatives that can be taken around ecosystem protection that are cheap and don't require national decision-making

That's like every language. The language you work in (typically) has all sorts of libraries that are lower level. And even if not it's not like you're code is 'running', it's compiling to lower level code tha

That's overall market share. Agree Windows use is high but in general the more tech-forward the company is the less Windows there is at it.

Famously not so in Flint.

Sometimes (often?), one very dedicated and focused person is better than a team of 20+. In fact companies would do well to recognize these situations and accommodate them better.

they use Windows because it's ostensibly cheap and there's momentum. I don't think any modern tech company is majority Windows.

Yeah, the most important, least readable, and oldest code. It's exactly the stuff that's expensive to maintain.

Yeah those types of second order problems are really tough in low-intelligence bureaucracies. 1/ Lead is good for pipes!, 2/ lead is bad for health!, 3/ ok we've ripped out half the pipes but it turns out that when we c

Funny. If you say that kind of thing in some of the German subreddits they'll run you out with pitchforks - "Germany has the best water in the world!" is the refrain.

The nuclear energy thing is a lark. The German nuclear base was already old and minimal by the time those decisions were made (unless you're talking about Greens in the 90s - but they barely had any power). Fundamentally Fukushima ha

Jersey City still was fine and 50 miles can be problematic for certain types of backup (failover) protocols. Regular tape backups would be fine but secondary databases can't be that far away (at least not at the time). I remember my

Like most of these things it's advocacy and mission creep. It probably started off as a niche thing but as it expanded there are all sorts of groups that would lose if it disappeared: Realtors, title companies, local municipalities (p
