This is a Turing test, not a comparative of efficacy.

> I also think that now that LLMs are on the rage, how much context do you think they have for bespoke config language vs Scala vs Python? I think we know the answer to that one. Nothing against Python, but of all the reasons to choose a

Sorry, but if you're suggesting any AC control different than simple knobs [1], you're failing miserably. This [1] type of control doesn't require taking eyes out the road to adjust temp, fan speed and fan direction. Since it

Also 5400rpm HDDs were common – that would be 1,5x factor.

That's hilarious. A comedy script couldn't beat real life in 2025.

You people really managed to sprinkle JS everywhere, even on PDF. Shame on you.

My dog used to get really worked up and bite me when she wanted something, so I started teaching to answer my questions. So, when she wants something, she sits in front of me and I start asking: What do you want? Food? <pause> Water?

That’s hilarious. It could be straight out of the “Idiocracy” movie script.

To be fair, you have to compare credit portfolios by product and customer size. That is how the Central Bank reports and tracks these numbers. Nubank offers consumer credit (credit card, personal loans), but you're comparing portfolios

You can always "redact" previous data. You can treat the sensible entries themselves as mutable, without it breaking the system design around immutable data. I have also seen a scheme where you store the hash, and have a separate

You can simplify things significantly if you can maintain a 1:1 mapping of log entry to transaction (in the business sense). This way you advance the state of your system in discrete steps by advancing in the log, and can make rewind easier

In a double-entry ledger the order of transactions doesn't matter, the balance is the sum of entries. Depending on the data model of your log, if calculating the current state is a commutative operation, I think it's fair to call

I believe "ledger" implies commutative property (order does not matter).

I believe you want "one log" in the logical sense. In theory, you could have "one log" per user or group of users, or whatever sharding technique makes sense for multi tenancy model. It can also be "one log" pe

The best programmers eventually become experts in a problem domain they’ve worked on, because to teach a computer to automate a process well requires thinking like an expert and resolving incoherences. Weak programmers complain stakeholders

My favorites are PT Mono (Mac native), Commit Mono and GNU Unifont (works well on smaller screens).

I guess this varies largely with project, stakeholder, etc. The kinds of projects I have been involved, showing a PR would’ve been either useless to communicate anything, or have to explain why it’s “throw away” and why we can’t ship the

Another opinion piece, but no data, not even a concrete example. I get it, every software engineer has strong opinions, but that’s a weak one. If you think writing a lot of code to see what sticks is the job description, you’ll be replaced

My issue with this kind of piece: a lot of words like "sometimes", "often", "really", "exact", and zero data.

You seem to believe plastic containers are used due to being a more affordable and technically superior solution. That’s a common mistake. The true reason it’s so cheap and available, is subsidies. $7 trillion as of 2023, to be exact. Witho

I’m probably alone in this, but I dislike naming tables in plural. IMO, reading “SELECT employee.first_name” makes much more sense than “SELECT staff.first_name”.

A garden actually isn't that great, it has limited CO2 storage capacity once it's in balance. Productive land, specially timber, is a good way of capturing CO2, because it will end up stored in products. We tend to naively think w

That's the whole point of double-entry. You don't split the entries.

Lawns are an upper-class, 18th century invention, because of course growing food on land is for peasants. The larger the lawn, the more expensive the maintenance, so a well kept lawn was a display of status. Then, 19th century middle-class,

It should be an atomic transaction, double-entry style, so it can’t fail between commas. The important thing is not having money go missing.
