I think it's saying that a single iteration over the entire set, would translate to 1000 requests per second for a day (if done naively as one request per object). It's really talking about the N+1 problem.

Collaboration is important -- especially in their expansive definition of "collaboration", which includes "getting along with others" and not kicking people. But why is collaboration THE core, such that "Everything

> The first, basic, most core is collaboration. I spent a huge amount of time as a kid reading and drawing and writing and just day-dreaming by myself. Probably not good training for the modern workplace with "open office" plan

Yeah, at some point my FB feed became dominated by links to other sites, essentially not much different than Upworthy. Like you, I found myself doing the "quick scroll through" until I finally deactivated my account.

But something is driving women out of CS programs (unless you buy the argument that women just aren't interested in programming). Steps that make the profession as a whole less biased against women, might also help to encourage more wo

At a minimum, I want support for: - Key bindings - Syntax coloring - Toggle preview within the editor I found Markdown generally had much wider support than RST.

^ This. I love the idea of spending this summer at home with my kid, reminding her to look at her list of interesting activities ... but realistically that's not going to happen.

I remember when blogs were just people writing about things they cared about. This sounds more like using your kids to shill products?

This may be pedantic but OAuth is an authorization protocol, not an authentication protocol.

And because your employer can fire you, that means your identity has to be the least common denominator.

This is why any talk about women being "naturally" less gifted at hard science, or naturally drawn to other fields, is B.S. You'd have to get to a level playing field first, before you could even evaluate that type of claim.

> "laws are the leading cause of crime" But that's an interesting analogy. Why are people who take certain drugs "criminals"? Because we passed laws against it. Some laws have a legitimate moral basis, others don

Based on the title, I was thinking it meant: Technical debt leads to project maintainers being less willing to incorporate code changes (perhaps because the code base is harder to understand?) ... which sounded plausible!

I grew up in a non-religious household. I loved the Narnia books as a fantasy, and completely missed the religious subtext. I think it shows the strength of the books ... they are more than just a simplistic allegory. (Except for the last

My wife has to deal with this. Then it causes problems because your airline ticket (or whatever) is supposed to exactly match a valid government ID, but one allows the space and the other doesn't.

I found RST quite brittle (single underscore vs double underscore?) and hard to remember/type. Markdown is generally less expressive (I would love if MD had RST's "include" directive) but I find it much easier to format

Some schools in the Seattle area are experimenting with later start times. Hopefully it will catch on?

Even in a microservice I'd expect DI to be useful for injecting stuff like logging, caching, data backend. For mocking, if nothing else. DI + properly defined interfaces shouldn't make code harder to reason about.

Yep - I wasn't "gifted" in any technical sense, just reasonably smart / good at school, at that was no picnic socially, until I figured out how to play dumb. It's a weird thing. (This was NYC school system in the ea

Exactly - that's been our approach too, at least once she reached ~3. "Brush your teeth because otherwise you get cavities." I'd still call that a rule but the article was vague.

I wondered about the "average of fewer than one rule" cited in the article. Some parents have zero rules? I consider myself a pretty liberal parent and we definitely have more than one rule. e.g., Don't be mean, brush your

Also, the article segues to fostering creativity without ever coming back to the question of whether those kids are more successful as adults. So having fewer rules supposedly leads to more creative children, but do those kids do well later

You really do need to set boundaries, so the article's not wrong. On the other hand, I couldn't juggle my child's preschool and my spouse's teaching schedule, if I didn't have flex time.
