Could you elaborate on the 'longest period of peace'? I've read that before but where is the peace? How many wars are going on right now? I live in Europe, your references sound like you're from the states. There is a wa

Opening this in Brave on an iPad immediately crashed and rebooted the device. I don't think that has ever happened to it.

A 30 minute weekly 1on1 meeting sounds like a waste of time to me. Monthly, maybe. Quarterly? Fine. Ad-hoc when needed? Ideally. Personally, I opt out. My recommendation is to talk about making them less frequent if you (as expected) hav

You're probably thinking of a different type of "workflow engine" than what Temporal is. It's not something where business people drag boxes in a GUI. It's still all code, within your code base, only with differ

It's kind of wild to think about that these people are portrayed as living somewhat frugally (although so are the ones from the $2m article linked inside). Most people couldn't dream of accumulating that much money over their li

I think you're talking about slightly different things. The issue (which I agree with) is that the month and date "share" a continuous grey background which makes them seem connected. They can be visible at the same time, but

Source? Because that's definitely not unheard of let alone common. In fact, as a European I've literally not heard something like that.

Advertising being illegal would be completely different story: no ads in the content itself. No 'sponsored' videos, no ads meant for other people (inside a browser in the video, on the street in the video). Also, it's just no

For one thing, most companies have hard time keeping employees working for them so this 'we have hired too many good workers and now we have to get rid of them' does not happen nearly as often. As others have pointed out, it&#x2

sorry what extra work? you know the company is able to hire more people right?

I don't get the joke. So in your scenario people are basically not allowed to own land and the benefit is what?

The thing is you can be charitable with your interpretation or try to decipher some reasonable principles out of ramblings like these but the point is that it's 2022 and referring to 'holy scripture' in normal person's c

These are the most ridiculous ones from my own very quick glance. Rest of the list is questionable at best as well. 1. First of all, love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength. 10. Deny oneself in orde

I don't disagree. It's just that there is rarely time to revisit and improve the right things that work. Often it's left as is (in this context inefficient) and the business moves to the next 'experiment'. The end

It's not just dev time vs cpu time. The thing the article mentions and what I was trying to echo is that software is slow and overcomplicated despite that. It would be unusable without fast hardware. But people are used to programs b

The text resonates with me but there isn't much practical advice. What should I do as a normal developer working on normal business products? I try not to do obviously slow and stupid stuff but it is not the main focus. It does menti

Are you ignoring the 'perpetual fallback license'? I would expect you'd welcome it if it is such a strong point for you. You can pay once for JetBrains IDE and never ever update (or even access older version) and keep using i

Unfortunate that only 'old' iPads. I would like that fir my 2020 one. The OS is complete trash in my opinion and it is the first and last Apple device I have bought.

I am not the most social person and maybe this is a somewhat of a 'bliss of not knowing' due to being ~6'2", but is this obsession with height common in Europe? I don't recall any of my friends mentioning height as

To be honest it's hard for me to imagine alternate reality where the 'original' is not swapped with one of the 'variations' without same comment underneath. Why is the 'original' good art?

I hope you realize this is just your perspective. To offer the alternative, to me ads are the fundamental problem. As much as I don't want to be tracked and avoid providing my information in any way possible, I just assume I am being t

The hypotheticals make sense, but they're not reality. As for your last example, it again make sense on its own. In case of these monitors though, I see it more like every burger costs $10 but there is also $40 one that has a nice logo

by bbbobbb 5y ago
How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion? Why would a consumer product that I can get for $800 would be worth $100k for me, thus justifying overpaying for it? Am I supposed to buy $50k wallet because I take it everywhere now? Or $250k

I agree with 'by default' but you can hide it all, even go as far as having nothing but the text visible in the window. My IJ is set up in a way that it is very clean. Tabs, file explorer, editor, embedded terminal if needed. It d

Brave is the only browser on my iPad that blocks majority of ads. I have went as far as try to pay for ad blockers in the app store (this is my first and last apple device so it is a weird concept for me). If I could just install unblock or

It could also be that it is a proxy for energy expenditure by the manufacturers though. They have to collect and clean the bottles. Single use plastic get thrown away with the costs being externalised to everybody else.

I think this is fair to both sides. I dress casually for interviews not only because that is what I prefer to wear but also in hopes of getting rejected by anybody who would consider that a red flag.

No. The expansion is only apparent on intergalactic scale. On human scale, and even much larger scales, it does not overcome the fundamental forces. You're not expanding.

Genuine question since I might be missing something: how would you take the lisp version and parse/execute it without using something like eval?
