There are two reasons to do frequent updates: 1. Process. As a guiding principle, it is easier to make frequent small steps rather than one big step. There are many reasons for this, and the benefit of frequent small chunks of work apply be

Its confusing, but in this context it is just another way of saying 'huge'. 1000 is a bigger number than 10, so 1000% feels bigger than 10x. The exact numbers don't matter here, so thats why I think people will keep using per

I get what you need, yet I find these cases aren't all that often, and when it happens it doesn't bother me as I quickly recognize where the type system is somewhat failing and either ignore it or add a type hint. But maybe if you

Totally, we are on the same page. First of all, you can't really model exactly what chefs do algorithmically. Or you can, maybe, but you shouldn't do that in a recipe. Unless you are building an autonomous robot-chef arm. I'v

No way. The professionals I've seen use way, way simpler formats, often just simple lists of ingredients with very minimal instructions. If anything, these formats capture way too much information. For example, you can't really me

Those are the few yes. And it looks like the goverment of Germany is about to fall. AfD is set up for a big win, so that will be that. We're trending very far to the right as a whole, with the edges getting bigger and more extreme by t

Well, you and Germany are one of the few influential western countries left that has some sort of stable center-left government. Almost everything else is rightwing conservative, neoliberal or slowly descending into fascism.

There is a difference in qualifying for having prior experience and for being born into a certain family. Trump inheriting around half a billion dollars is Aristocratic, Kamala Harris having a successful career in politics is not. Trump&#x2

Fully agree. Even though the children's books lack nuance. There are no problems with pollution and climate change in Scarry's world. There are no jobs that people do not like to do. Malice and greed is very limited, sickness neve

Thanks for mentioning Jon Klassen, I'll check it out. Our son absolutely loves busytown. We try to get most of our stuff second hand, the vast majority of books are terrible. And he knows. For at least 80 percent of the time, we are ju

Household names (in the west) are maybe Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Einstein. If you are lucky. For a lot of people it is just Einstein, that's it.

People are impressed by the seemingly spontaneous origin of genius ideas, but forget all the analytical labor that went into preparing the mind for conceiving such thoughts. Genius doesn't come out of nowhere. The 'stroke of the g

That is surprising, I've always thought the value proposition of used EV would be miles ahead of ICE vehicles, at least the more modern ones. A quick google also confirms that the average life expectancy in mileage of EV is already ahe

Technically you don't even need react, you can do it all in javascript! Joking aside, you really do need to solve the problems jsx solves, but also webpack, next.js, react-router and depending on your application, something like mantin

React proper may be more or less stable since hooks came out 6 years ago, on its own it isn't sufficient. You still need to think about react-router, mobx, redux, nextjs, remix, vite, tailwind or mantine or material ui or whatever. And

It is more likely to be seen as messy, just aesthetics. Another big reason for chopping down fruit trees in urban areas is they mess up cars that are parked under them.

Good analysis. They really killed the golden goose, never understood it. But internal rivalry makes sense, the same thing that bankrupted Nokia. I know a lot of developers that were really happy in that older Microsoft ecosystem, it was a s

I'm not claiming what sales & management do is worthless, it's just lopsided (in this case). If you force programmers to sit in an open floor plan with people who are loud on the telephone, not once but every day, and not onl

Not coincidentally, it is because of their bias, not some hidden conspiracy. Occams razor requires you to drop assumptions that aren't required to explain a thing. A conspiracy involves a lot of extra stuff, furthermore it is often har

Totally. A lot of corps are ruled by management and sales people. Those often really enjoy talking and connecting, and it is a form of control for them. Of lot of these people think they can't do their job well if the quiet people (IT,

True, I'm not sure I would say these are source-available, but I'm a bit out of touch regarding the jargon around these clauses that guard against cloud competition. There's a big difference between 'you can look at the

There are a lot of things better than scrum, but mostly these are all wrong ways to implement it. Daily: should average at 10 min, 15 min is really the maximum. Including prep. So 5-15 min. No status updates! The daily is about getting peop

I've heard a lot of push back against all kinds of process on this forum, and it always surprises me. But reading the article made something click: it is not about the specific process, the (lack of) autonomy is what really matters. I

Whether that part is important depends on how you use that product. A lot of open core models specifically target enterprise users with their premium features. Likewise, the risk only applies to the premium feature set. If those are that cr

I disagree. For an open core product the core is actually open source. You can fork it, change it, distribute it. It may have an OSI approved license. You can't do that with a source available product. Furthermore, you can't even

Very close actually. Their strategy has always been to build essential developer tools. Developers, developers, developers. So I think it is core to the way Microsoft expands and holds market share. And that market has changed to not only w

I'm referring to the 'capture customers and unreasonably hike the prices' business model, which intends to make profit of exactly the cases where a customer is NOT a rational agent, just like scams do. I'm not saying tha

Isn't the business decision exactly whats being questioned? Not saying it is a bad decision, but I did have the same question. Was it really necessary to write a completely new DE just to make some tweaks easier to implement? Would l
