When I go to buy 2 bottles of milk I am never offered to get it for 1.x the price of one bottle. I don't see any way it is fair to deliver double and get just 1.5x, in a hypothetical scenario just for the sake of the discussion. The su

I don't consider myself a 2x engineer; my company tells me that by not paying me 2x vs my colleagues, even if I know (and others believe that too) I deliver more than 2x their output. Using AI will change nothing in this context.

It highly depends on the circumstances. In over 30 years in the industry I met 3 people that were many times more productive than everyone else around them, even more than 10 times. What does this translate to? Well, there are some extraord

This is one of the few articles where F9 makes statements not supported by any science or experiments. Cow hides are strong, but they were not built for the purpose of protecting people from road rash. I had slides on asphalt at 60 km/

Go offroad. For me, after 20 years on motorcycles, it is more interesting to cross the mountains than to cross the continent on 2 wheels and I did both, several times. I ride on the road only when needed, when I want to have fun I leave the

Management is needed. Having bad managers is bad. For example, a manager cannot have too many people without becoming a full time people manager and doing nothing else, a good manager can handle 5 other people while still contributing him&#

It is not the layers of management that is the problem, it is the quality of management. While great engineers mind their own business and deliver great products, the people that are not great engineers manage their way into management. The

It is not that hard, if you do the minimum effort to educate yourself. For example 20 years ago I struggled to find motorcycle gear in Eastern Europe, it was very hard and stuff was extremely expensive for the salaries in this region. I bou

Cars are becoming prohibitively expensive because they get more and more stuff included. I owned cars in the 90's and cars from 2015, the newer one came in the basic trim with stuff that adds to complexity and cost, from AC and electri

I think that Adolf disagrees: if anything, computers make fascism not possible. Long gone are the days he was elected and long gone are the days Germans built and operated extermination camps in silence, unknown to the world. That cannot ha

I think that most people working in tech that don't have English as their native language are bilingual. What that means, I am not sure, the article suggests some benefits and the next logical step is to assume these people should be s

I did not have to explain it to kids, but to people that know statistics. It was quite simple, as current AI is not so complicated, just systems that spit out most probable answers based on their internal database of stats. When AI will be

It is not specific to HP, but to the top management style of that era; I know multiple companies that went through similar things, some from inside (can't give names), it was a similar story: moving from deep technical expertise to sof

All you said is correct, but all you said points towards polygamy.

I tried using LLMs for 2 types of work: 1. Improve the code that I already have. Waste of time, it never works. This is not because my code is too good, but because it is SQL with complex context and I get more hallucinations than usable co

My grandpa went to prison (in Romania) in the 1950-es for being part of bourgeoise class because he fixed and ran a broken mill. He was a war refugee (from Romania to Romania) without any money, land or any other resources, but in Communist

Without a major and unrealistic cultural change, 2 girls to share one boy (polygamy) is not going to happen.

Actually the factors inhibiting birth rate are well known, but the actions to take are not something states wants to take. In Europe you cannot even talk about it, usually, unless you talk to younger family members and ask them why they don

It is simple mathematics. European pension systems are not a saving system, but a pay as you go system, where pensions are paid from the people who work now. What you get in taxes this month you pay as pensions this month, as a state. This

The cost of training is real. 15 ago a colleague did the training slowly while working for some training companies and it costed him just $42,000 to get ATPL, but you need to take trainings and flight hours and that is most of the cost. The

The server edition had DHCP, WINS and DNS servers included and also could create Windows Domains (act as domain controller). All optional, but useful at that time as there were not many options.

Not really. I started using both around the time 2000 Server appeared and I preferred 2000 because it was easier to use on the hardware that I had, which was some Intel multiprocessor servers (made by Intel, not just the CPUs). The Active D

In my experience most SQL developers don't care too much about tooling. In most cases someone designs the database and tables, developers don't care about databases and care mostly about tables and views, rarely about indexes. The

The MS SQL Server engine is an improvement over the years of a branch that was always more technically advanced than Postgres. I don't think there is anything to steal from it.

The Express Edition is a SQL database engine with some limitations on CPU count and memory and missing SQL agent. It is free. I installed the version 2017 on some servers 7 years ago and they still run some supplier portal on it, that team

SQL Server is very good, while cheaper than Oracle. This is a good selling point for enterprises that care about cost (or are too cheap).

No, it has a different purpose; VS Code extension and the former ADS are targeted for development, while SSMS is for server and database administration. I am a heavy user of SSMS and can do everything I ever need there, I don't use the

Longer trains are not a simple solution as side tracks for passing by need to also be longer. Also longer trains means building and running more carriages, which is more expensive. Why are wider inter-track requiring larger curves? It shoul
