Keep diving down the chain brother, I’m sure you’ll find the singularity down there somewhere.

It definitely is more prescient in hindsight. Although I still like to make the distinction between the internet(the hardware - servers, routers, fibre, satellites) vs social media(what most people mean when they say the internet). The inte

There’s absolutely nothing existential about a program that guesses the next word based on the last.

Crypto / AI, it’s the same people. Same grift for other people’s money in the form of equity.

The example of pervasive refactor is a bit of a contrived example to be honest. Get the id of the record you're discussing with your pre-conditions and then retrieve the data you're after. At least in SQL Server select x2 from fo

Sounds like you want to read the log file to be honest.

Dapper in .net is fantastic to deal with raw sql, to the point I think I’m delusional because it’s so damn simple to send outrageous queries to the database and have those multiple mixed results turned into objects very simply. I’ve never h

I like the idea of deprecating a column and getting a warning so much. Also versioned data built-in I would love.

I take what you’re saying about difficulty being disproportionate to the task as an indicator of ability. It’s literally so damn simple to knock out a database & some crud functions either as a desktop app or a website that the complain

It’s a fine tool for most data storage/retrieval jobs. Crying about some theoretical relational model doesn’t do anything to further your point.

Try writing down the points you’re trying to get across. I often have half baked ideas that only form properly from either attempting to write it down succinctly, or hashing it out in a small group (2 others max) for a longer time. Succinct

Three quarters of my CS class at university could barely code and/or understand code. That’s not a joke. A lot went on to be programmers professionally. And judging by the quality of closed & open source code I witness daily those

David Chase(the wonderful creator of The Sopranos) has said on more than one occasion that people don’t say what they mean. I think in your scenario that’s applying both ways.

What are you running at your home? 60kwh. I used to run 2x box AC(inefficient) for 24/7 in summer and was lucky to crack 20/25kwh.

It’s amusing to imagine the oligarchs are going to anymore charitable than currently.

You rebalanced the situation by posting an absolute wall of garbage. Comparing academic inertia to software development is a joke. One that is so bad it’s not worth picking apart anything you wrote.

Not sure it’s obvious reasons, but understandable , sure. When someone questions your credentials the default is to tell them to jump, whether that’s a good idea or not.

I never understood why actual engineers(eg. Civil) have not complained more that programmers/coders stole that title.

Not a fair comparison because one is exposed to real life market forces vs. academic inertia. ReactJS devs will retrain when the market dies. Professors still publishing theories/experiments costing large amounts of public monies bette

Use hckrnews.com Browsing by time is easier rather than popularity. There's no FOMO if you can't keep up, just scan the latest headlines and if it catches your eye click it.

Good question. Highly likely to not get any other replies as it’s too much uncommon sense.
