Often tastes better too, tbh. Lots of restaurants overuse salt to make up for lack of flavor.

I quit everything but Reddit (which I pretty much only lurk in, and only do hobby talk) and LinkedIn (until I strike it rich, I still gotta have a job). It's been excellent since I no longer waste my time being angry about things I can

In the US, our bureaucracies seem to attract some of the least intelligent people who have no interest in improving their institutions, just in riding the gravy train forever. I think that this is an outcome of how we treat all bureaucrats

Circa a few years ago (maybe their obscurity scheme has improved since then), they just used a binary blob that decrypted the (Ruby) source then passed it to a Ruby interpreter process. If you replaced your Ruby interpreter with one that wo

It basically sounds like "n*gga" when said fast.

Depends on what you mean by self-flying, which is why I pointed out that BI probably has different ideas than Airbus. To most people (and BI?) it will mean "taxi, takeoff, navigating/obstacle avoidance, landing". To the exten

> The 737 MAX fiasco shows that Boeing still hasn't caught up with what Airbus was doing in the 1980s. The Air France 447 accident demonstrated to me that Airbus hadn't really thought things through either. Pilots entered confl

Counterpoint: I've spent a total of an hour (ish) futzing around with my Debian install, for my home/hobby laptop. I feel like my work (OSX) laptop gives me much more to do, but that could be because I'm expecting more of it.

For me, writing a thing down gives me the option to forget it. People are different I suppose.

Have you tried journaling? It lets you get ideas out (adding or remixing ideas from the previous days), without investing in getting a project up, writing code, etc. A lot of times, for me, I just want to explore an idea and I'm not ac

If a system is not documented in terms of what it does, how it does it, and common remediations for when things go wrong, then it's a fragile system depending on one person to keep it going. You need to get (particularly, senior) engin

You shouldn't feel bad about this, you might have saved someone from a lifetime of fixing wacky science bugs in exchange for not a lot of money.

The flying car designs I've seen have no true redundancies. They look like they would be dangerously unstable if they tried to run on fewer than all motors.

Are there examples of flat organizations that have to meet make-or-break deadlines? I'm a little skeptical of a flat org's ability to hold itself accountable to externally-imposed deadlines/requirements/etc.

Yes. I co-run a small, quirky IRC network/channel. We welcome all peoples who enjoy fun and discussing programming/hardware/technical stuff. Details here https://irc.darwin.network/

They won't let you have the procedure if you attempt to alter the agreement. I've tried!

For those wondering, the biggest differentiator of this from PICO-8 is that this is open-source and PICO-8 is not.

Great article, and it sounds like it took a pretty big leap of faith to go from heuristics to cost-based optimization. If this was addressed in the article I apologize: do you only ever select transformations that yield equivalent results,

I agree that most code review change requests are style-related. One reason I can think of this happening is that in order for one's brain to focus on just the parts of the CR that matter, stylistic oddities need to be sorted out. Idea

To throw in dissenting opinion: I feel like that gets the point across to C programmers like me.

No one has mentioned groups chats from the article. It's kind of scary to think there's a manager out there that is mindfully siloing conversations instead of letting smart people figure it out.

I think it depends on what the CEO is really hiring you to do. Is it to turn this team around, so that it can take on projects in the future without stalling out? Is it to finish the project in as quickly as possible? I would recommend talk

"If it ain't broke don't fix it" is absolutely a strawman, I agree. The point is to seed a discussion.

A lot of these things that you're pointing out are pretty vague. To pick apart one: "devops", it can mean "using docker", and/or "continuous deployment of configs", and/or "greater developer

Would you mind linking one, or giving some pointers?
