With all due respect, massacring civilians because “you have no other choice” is historically not an excuse holding up in courts. Israel has enormous advantage over Palestinians and while I don’t mind them waging war with Hamas, indiscrimin

It’s exactly the opposite. Burnout happens when a person with high reasoning skills is not allowed to actually used them and forced into map lookup tasks (most commonly with a useless, here be dragons kind of map).

Of all the languages, it often seems like Julia has the coolest libraries. Great work!

I don’t disagree with the core premise, but why much more than Ukraine?

Wait, you mean there is no central hot water infrastructure in the world? Poland is not ex-USRR but it is common place and I always assumed this is a normal thing everywhere.

It won’t happen by other company coming up with faster chips. It will happen by other company coming with cheaper chips and less energy demanding, dominating the low end and then reaching higher. While Nvidia might have won the training mar

Except he does not. His assets are valued at 400B, provided that he pinky swears not to try to actually sell them, in which case they will be worth much, much less.

Agreed, just yesterday I was researching APIs in this area. Still, it’s a different criticism.

Totally in the opposite camp, in the sense I think it’s preferable to customize your experience using 3rd party apps and it should be encouraged model by vendor.

I spent a large part of my childhood as a somewhat obsessive SW fan and read a lot of EU books. Disney alienated entire fandom to appease people who were never really into it and didn’t win enough to cover the cost. Good luck with that, I w

When you describe something as archetypal, you basically admit it had very large impact. Similar to Tolkien being archetypal fantasy. Does not help your argument, really.

I would guess it’s too big for a local anomaly.

I know it as: country that does not pay for its own army will sooner or later pay for someone else’s.

The accent here being on „reasonable”. Very few actually are. Myself, I once recommended colleague to a job and they didn’t take him because he was too humble and „did not project confidence” (and oh my, he would be top 5% in that company a

You can’t demo it and sell it.

Those good enough results in the cloud world are going to cost them arm and leg. I for one would much prefer to spend my time on optimization of already established routines than on the damn ping-pong between product, design and "exter

What you're describing is really about empowering users and pushing code where it was not possible before due to cost - so basically confirming efficiency paradox.

You will never find me in my dynamic backyard writing such tests neither - I will write normal tests and they still expose type errors. And, if you do not write tests, there is a bunch of other problems that will surface, which will not be

I believe this as well. I like dynamic typing, because it often feels to me that rigour of static typing is slowing the prototyping phase. Plus overusing types creates a lot of boilerplate. In one of the frontends I've seen adding a

Going to take the risk and politely say I do not agree with this article at all. Alternative advice: never allow more than one app to share the db and expose data through APIs, not queries. Then you can actually remove cruft and solve com

Any pointers on what exactly is missing? I am neither a Rust guy or a graphics guy, but I have some interest in what is missing in the ecosystem.

From my experience, most people who leave do so after finding another position. Those who leave without it, usually feel confident enough they can find another job. Those that lack that confidence, wait. No point in skipping paychecks and g

I agree. I personally think it's about the world becoming more and more uncertain. Everybody is supposed to switch careers a bunch of times during lifetime, everybody is expected to push their limits, everybody is expected to stay on t

That's actually great, as you would be doing these people a favour by not hiring them.

Software projects take longer than expected because every single time it turns out what actually gets build is nothing like what was originally planned. It’s as simple as that.

by d3ckard 3y ago
Hiring processes are a cakewalk compared to company in death spiral. Damn, even compared to a company with a bad period of high pressure. It’s a mistake to stay.

It’s a nice summary, I might steal that.

The new trilogy killed my interest in the franchise and I was a lifelong fan.

It does not. No language with statements is like Ruby.

That would be a country/corpo war and too cyberpunk to my taste. I don’t agree with the decision, but this is not the way to solve this.
