It’s not only the historical context is missing but you yourself haven’t experienced life to be interested in the topic. If you haven’t had a child or a marriage, or even a friend who had one. Why would you understand that relationship. How

For example you can’t insert or update a SQLite view. I don’t even think SQLite lets you fully update a table schema. If you start trying to use it for sql and not just storing rows you run into these everywhere. SQLite is not serving the s

Your awareness of a key relationship does not make it irrelevant. It happens all the time in math. the article acts like radians are arbitrary without discussing this key property.

Every part of calculus with trig functions relies on this fact! The rate of motion along a circle is approximately linear at the same speed when described in radians. For example when you do a Taylor series expansion the cos/sin are we

degrees were primarily chosen due to many integer divisors - likely for applications of time and seasons.

No. SQLite doesn't have users, proper views, row level security, proper foreign keys, or functions.

Fails to mention that radians relates angle to arc length.

Yes, and that’s an architectural choice you’re making. Instead of using all the consistencies provided in the database process - including types, but also date/time, constraints, transactions, triggers etc. you are exiting the system a

SQLite is the only one I know of that doesn’t enforce types by default, but I don’t know what the SQL spec requires.

SQL is end to end type safe.

Isn’t the EU regulation specifically about this?

Yes the framing above is “business people don’t listen to engineers but if they had a credential they would legally be forced to”. And I think both are false. The top engineers on a project are collaborators with leaders in other areas like

This sounds very much like the joke about economists finding a $100 bill. In reality there is innovation and new ideas. Humans discover new things and change their behavior. So your theory needs to also accommodate that fact.

by groundzeros2015 2mo ago
No we don't. Public schools are incentivized not to help high performers. It actually hurts their metrics and budget. The widespread gifted/talented experience in public school ended in the late 90s. The actual intelligence segr

That’s not how these systems work in reality. I’m actually an extreme pessimist. What actually happens is that you as an engineer become paid to frame the desired leadership goals in compliant terms. It’s similar to how lawyers and regulato

What would credentialing software engineers do to curtail leadership incentive problems? Hardware technology jobs have some of these credentials and are part of that system.
