As a European I was really surprised why SUVs are so popular in the US, making biking extremely dangerous. This documentary was quite eye-opening for me: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo Similarly in Germany we’re

I think you misunderstand the purpose of assigning to _. Extremely common bug 1: a function returns an error/future, but you don’t check/poll it “foo();”. May happen because you copy some tutorial code that’s not rigid about error

Store an error code forget to check it, store a future but fail to poll it, etc.

I have 3 problems with this article. 1. No true scotsman fallacy: The author redefines the term “meeting” to “productive meeting”. Any criticism against nonproductive meetings becomes invalid because in the article a meeting is by definiti

IMO the hostility comes from the fact that a bad manager makes all devs in his team, even the good ones, underperform as a whole. A bad dev is simply.. one bad dev. One bad dev causes less damage than an incompetent manager. It’s also immed

Writing an OS, graphics and sound drivers, network stack and game engine prototype for the DC made me a better programmer forever. That’s why people write for this thing. It forces you to really learn how the hardware works. For example on

As far as I know penis length is not correlated with body height, hand size, etc. because those all relate to skeleton size, but penises have no bones. Scientific measurement is done from the top by pressing against the pubic bone since bel

The filesystem is a database. Databases like Postgres implement such a transaction not through a lock, but by keeping multiple versions of the data/file until the transactions using them closed. Yet other databases operate on the strea

Reminds me of the famous pictures of a tori arch in Japan that survived nukes and earthquakes while its surroundings were repeatedly destroyed. Real trooper.

Postgres is neither cattle, nor are there “instances”, because it assumes full responsibility for the data it manages. For example you can not have 2 postgres instances, each with their own locking mechanisms, check whether transactions are

Yes, humans think in hierarchies, but they think in multiple hierarchies. You’re in one hierarchy at work, another in your family, another at your Karate dojo. This cannot be represented in a single hierarchy. In non-relational you therefor

That was not the context. The context was that people have to tell support about bugs but support can’t talk to developers, so you end up in a feature request forum.

This would match what psychologists say about humans in general: we feel first, then we use our brain to justify that feeling. We’re not rational beings.

You may not realize it, but there’s a strong selection bias at work here. If you ask Japanese women living in foreign countries most of them will say they prefer it there. But if you ask Japanese women in Japan (i.e. the vast majority), mos

I experienced it the opposite way. When they’re in Japan they love it (except for the bitter people who hang out at HUB every weekend who refuse to learn Japanese). It’s the ones who have never been there that talk shit the most.

Nope, I explicitly qualified my statements. I’m sorry you expected a full list. For another example, if you want to see drug addicted or mentally ill but untended to people then visit the train station of any major city in Germany.
