Yeah, there's typically little or nothing. No meaningful sentiments from the deceased. That's part of what the popular funeral poem "The Dash" plays on—everything that mattered in a life, by the time it's nothing bu

The pay is insanely high. That's what does it. Plus FAANG is like grad school for startups. Startups love their CTOs and tech leads to be ex-FAANG. Looks great on the "who we are" pages and slides. You're way more likely

I wouldn't call the attitude that one ought to be able to get all the support one needs from one's partner, no matter what, healthy . That can lead to an entire category of relationship failure, I'd say.

This is why, in practice, you'd still probably come out way better, intellectually and perhaps in terms of happiness, spending a few years with a well-curated bookcase—or even just a library card—and some notebooks, rather than unfet

Yeah, typo, too late to edit. Insufficient exposure to bright light during key, early years while the eye is developing was found to increase risk so much that it's practically all that matters, at least over a population (I'm s

Exposure to very bright light (even standing under a shade tree on a cloudy day is far brighter than normal indoor lighting) specifically during key years had been nailed down with high confidence as the primary cause of most near-sighted

Wear from bikes and pedestrians is too small to be worth metering. You'd spend more on tracking and enforcement than it costs. It's true that automobile use-in-terms-of-road-wear taxes would look very different from what they are

OK, so we've solved school shootings, let's say (ignoring that when it actually matters ~everyone agrees removing guns makes things safer, let's just grant that for the sake of argument). How about when it's not kids, wi

Other take: north of a dozen "good guys with guns" didn't do jack-shit. Other other take: military bases have very strict gun control, far in excess of the civilian world, despite hopefully being far more reliable, stable

I've worked on four or five Rails codebases. All did things "the Rails way". All were quite different, and none were plainly incorrect.

Sure, but it's a very popular language that puts the ability to modify behavior at run-time front and center. It's not like Ruby is special in that regard.

Some languages and ecosystems can be more helpful , though, even if none can save you. Rails is memorization-heavy and doesn't have static types to aid in navigation & reading. Its runtime auto-magic even resists grepping. Auto-im

Rails is incredibly productive for 1-3 people to write something from scratch. As soon as everyone committing code isn't synced up with the same knowledge and solution styles, it goes to hell fast. It's bad at surviving team trans

> I think that being able to dynamically replace behavior from almost anything at any point in your program is pretty much very different from Python, Java and C#. Javascript is pretty popular.

by corrral 4y ago
To be fair it takes a ton of memorization to be productive in a Rails codebase, between lack of static types and tons of runtime "magic". Requiring Ruby experience is silly if you've managed to write in several languages pr

Bad integration work, and/or bad architecture on one or both of Github and Azure's sides.

This but instead as a "WTF are you trying to do ?" wizard that left out options that are very obsolete or entirely a bad idea, would actually be cool. Start with the goal rather than the "how".

Similar mindset that drives people to create HTML-targeting template languages that use indentation rather than surrounding tags, to indicate nesting. Maybe fine in some limited cases but it'll bite you in the ass eventually.

Makes sense. I wasn't mad about it or anything, just noticed that it had that effect on me, and was like, "huh, weird". The three or four times I'd thought about going back, remembering that was there had stopped me, too
