I’m much more upset at the cruelty and hypocrisy kids display (and of course by extension the adults that grow no wiser) in that when I was on the Internet as a kid you were a loser and loner. And now if you’re _not_ on the Internet enough

XML-RPC based apps might count but they’re generally all under SOA in my experience. A real-time desktop application with some networked features to manipulate documents like via websockets may count as CRUD but not follow any SOA kind of a

Yeah, UBI of a certain amount makes it possible for lower income folks to move further from areas they normally wouldn’t. I saw some poor native person break down the costs of how they wouldn’t need to live near a major metro anymore off of

I don't think it'll happen at 100% as long as there's some reasonable form of competition for housing prices to stay somewhat lower. The problem in the US with our markets is that we have horrific situations for markets that

And a lot of datacenter CPUs are also on renewables that are helped by the kind of work done with these halo / flagship consumer products. After all, the power efficiency in datacenters is probably more important in aggregate given the

Active vs passive deaths is important in people’s minds. People act like all these passive things are simply endemic to “reality” when many are side effects of lack of collective action such as climate change, bad transportation infrastruct

From what I’ve read about VAT vs income taxes in terms of politics to make a gross generalization European income taxes are about as simple as US sales taxes for consumers and European VAT is about as complicated as US income taxes. The pol

The slang is English / Western language specific really. Words like choom, nova, and preem only make sense in a multicultural setting like American English. Don’t really remember Japanese equivalents to these terms from either the anim

Of course it's possible but the usual workflow of those in customer facing positions tends to be interrupt-driven rather than polled like how developers tend to prefer to work (and there is definitely plenty of study on context-switchi

The data I’m seeing is from studies showing that developers doing peripheral duties and getting interrupted is one of the biggest barriers to productivity and quality among developers rather than training, education, or even raw IQ. Special

Picking the correct timing for the cure time with the job size is almost an art in itself. It’s unlikely one can figure it out without a lot of experience doing it and most folks that don’t do it for a living won’t do it often enough to acq

The issues I have are that developers tend to be bad at communicating even with each other. Communication as a discipline is a lot about meeting people where they are and this is difficult for basically everyone. The antagonistic attitude t

I think part of my point should be taken further that we don’t even have the correct order of magnitude for cats and the numbers for windmills are so small it’s probably negligible although care should be taken to see if there is some disp

The estimate for cats is widely disputed and was a complete WAG with little empirical backing and more like extrapolation from a non-representative sample. There are studies currently in progress to more accurately measure the impact of cat
