They are distinguishable in cosmological models by variation of the exponent in their equation of state relating the pressure of the mass/energy to the energy density. Specifically, dark energy is modeled as a cosmological constant so

The Socratic method is bad over asynchronous communications because if you, Socrates, made a mistake then it takes 3-5 iterations to clear that up. 1. You post a question with non-specific action intended to stimulate them to critically thi

I don't think this algebra is a full description of flame graphs but it feels like it captures part of what you want for the limited purpose of global performance analysis. I feel like a flame graph cannot be an element of a vector spa

Time spent thinking about the big picture automatically detracts from time thinking about details. I tend to agree with you that being a jack of all trades and knowing when to apply which strategy will work best, but not all people can mast

Honestly, some people are just detail oriented. One thing I hate about performance reviews is their perverse need to point out your weak point and suggest fixing that, disregarding whether it makes broader sense for the individual's ca

No, people commute on bicycles in the Netherlands even up to an hour (although the number of people doing so falls off rapidly with distance). Distance alone isn't the issue or even the leading issue. I was consulting in Atlanta once a

I haven't confused anything. There are some debates in the Netherlands to require helmets and these debates focus on the injury prevention aspect to the exclusion of any other concern. By comparing cycling to the injury risk of falling

Unit tests (class or method as the unit) hinder refactoring by binding to low level implementation details. When you refactor, by definition you are changing what the factors (units) are. Generally, your unit tests will then be testing impl

I grew up in Canada, where helmets are required by law and barely anybody cycles to commute. I immigrated to the Netherlands where cycling is a casual and de facto mode of transportation and helmets feel gratuitous and unnecessarily hamperi

An ongoing theme in cancer research with regards to diagnostics is that a lot of the cancers caught by the diagnostic techniques would not be fatal. Hence, there is not a statistically significant reduction in mortality but rather a reducti

Yes, the idea and the debate is as old as history. I prefer the quote from Heinlein, "Specialization is for insects." Because actually, if you look at well run organizations, everybody needs to be a generalist to some degree. You

I like rust, but wouldn't recommend it in my enterprise shop. I don't know what language you are used to, so I will suggest some things that you might enjoy learning about. In languages without spread operators (like java), immuta

Except a lot of structs also derive and prefer `Copy` and a lot of rust code also avoids heap allocation which requires `Clone`. The `Copy` trait can be used implicitly like in the example here. On the other hand, due to the lack of garbage

It is all worth questioning. The hard job of the experts is determining the minimal experiments to show people that will convince them of far reaching theories. For me that is the true measure of expertise in an educator. Your good physics

I would say it explicitly isn't the bottom type since it doesn't satisfy the Liskov substitution principle for any actual type due to null pointer exceptions unless you unreasonably axiomatize null checks into every single propert

Hop on LinkedIn and search for job openings mentioning spring-data-r2dbc, or spring + r2dbc. Edit: r2dbc being reactive is founded firmly in the idea that you won't be getting proxy objects. I'm more of a vert.x fan myself so I ha

Well certainly we have tracked down some issues (in the IDE) to being binary incompatibilities in plugins. So some of it was just downstream (of Apple) software not being ready. The machine isn't a dud as everyone on my team has a simi

Our monorepo is also enormous in regards to IntelliJ. I don't know why all the other UI elements lock up though, indeed I think the corporate lockdown problems are historically also what made the experience miserable on many windows ma

I don't really like Macs that much, so you can take what I say with that grain of salt if you already have a preference. Everything is noticeably laggier. I'm not sure about the actual performance of long running computations, in

Depends on what I am trying to achieve. Most code (especially legacy code) has more branches than typically matter: the majority of branches is error handling or special cases and can be ignored when investigating core functionality. Execut

Run an ordinary database connection pool in shared memory mode instead of offloading it to a separate process via PGBouncer. Do that with all of the other resource pools as well. Heck, for one off webservers with low load you can do in memo

It shows the majority of its strength in switch statements. You can mostly just use the instanceof for a one line destructuring of a compound object into its constituents. The corresponding rust statement is the `if let` or `if case let` if

I think there are too many people that cannot do this reconciliation. This reconciliation is embodied in phrases like, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Solidarity is not conformi

It sounds to me like you landed into a team that wasn't prepared to train you. A junior dev is often a great opportunity for some seniors to take on a role as a mentor and stay active as a developer as opposed to a manager, but a new t

This anecdote felt candid to me. In another time, the unrequited lover may have written a note to share. I've heard tell of people using cue cards, writing it on their hands, practicing in front of mirrors. The need to get ones painful
