I've also seen the reverse. Some people who treat me poorly have a terrible voice in their own head where they trashtalk themselves. It's like they see it as fair to do to others as long as they're not hypocritical about it.

That is the $65k question and unfortunately I don't have a pat answer for that yet. I probably need to see more types of projects instead of more time on fewer projects which is where I'm at. But I can give you a partial picture.

This gets even worse if you have a language with one process per CPU as you can get clobbering other values on the same instance if you don't add fields to uniquely identify them. We got a lot of pushback when migrating our telemetry t

There's some compelling reasoning that dwarfism to maximize produce size has contributed substantially to the reduction in nutrients. Because when the tree fruits, it pulls nutrients out of the rest of the plant. And if there's le

Because golden delicious and red delicious were everywhere in the 90's and spontaneous hybridization is a very, very low success rate. Ambrosia apples appear to be a spontaneous cross of grandchildren of Golden and Red delicious apples

One can take Be Your Own Friend a lot farther than just this. What would you tell your friend going through what you’re experiencing right now? What would you tell your friend not to beat himself up for? To push himself harder abouT?

Responding from a new account is different from posting from a new account. You aren’t vetting people by making accounts have a minimum age to post articles. That’ll just cause people to make accounts before they need them. Reddit has forum

I maintain you’re either grossly misappropriating the time and energy of new and junior devs if this is the case on your project, or you have gone too long since hiring a new dev and your project is stagnating because of it. New eyes don’t

Paraphrasing an observation I stole many years ago: A bunch of us thought learning to talk to computers would get them out of learning to talk to humans and so they spent 4 of the most important years of emotional growth engaging in that, o

For years now I’ve been pushing for moving of all non actionable error messages and all aggregate-actionable error messages into telemetry data instead. Not the least of which because log processing SaaS companies seem to be overcharging fo

Well the useful ones are. The rest are screaming into the void, or rather, the operator’s ear.

Seems not in this case. But I believe the use case was deep brain tumors, like the hippocampus, where any beam alignment problems could be life altering.

Cellular metabolism from the look of it. Cellular division and metabolism are linked but not synonymous. However that’s the current theory, of a long line of theories that did not pan out.

There was also a study that showed that chemotherapy efficacy was enhanced by fasting before treatment. It seems that when calories are scarce, healthy cells turtle up while cancer cells keep consuming, so fasting reduces absorption rates i

Exactly. Complaints are a Yes And situation. You have to improvise off of their cue but have fun with it or soon nobody will. Each loud user will try to pull the app in a different direction and it’ll end up being schizophrenic if you don’t

Precautionary Principle is always about blast radius times probability. Condensing the state reduces the odds that the bit flip will be in your critical memory but increases the damage when it does. That tends to be a proportional amount so

At this point about 80% of my interaction with AI has been reacting to an AI code review tool. For better or worse it reviews all code moves and indentions which means all the architecture work I’m doing is kicking asbestos dust everywhere.

I wonder if the bad traffic overwhelmed the good traffic enough that it's simpler to pick out some of the good traffic from the bad and replay it rather than spot all of the bad traffic.

Deepness in the Sky is probably the first Sci Fi alien I read who didn't feel like a human wearing an alien suit. Fantasy sometimes does this better but usually with specific tropes.
