Purely a guess, but a lot of people whose pride stems from understanding complex subjects are the same people who will gatekeep that subject. Sagan, making astronomy more accessible to lay people, would be a grave offense to someone like th

No, no. That's done by the contractors they ship data to. Otherwise they would be breaking federal laws.

I think they meant quality from a hardware and ops perspective.

I wish 97.8% monoculture was considered diversity. My conglomerate can't get any cash from blackrock unless we're at least 65% diverse and make our advertisements about ESG instead of the product we're selling.

There are regular efforts to discredit Japan, and I think it has to do with them being the model for "done differently and to better success". Better birth rates, very very few cesarians. Far fewer health mandates, better health o

Don't worry. I'm sure even the people hoarding wealth in affluent cities are still paying 40% of their income to fund rent seekers and their mandatory services.

If your right to it isn't guaranteed by law, your lack of right to it will be weaponized against you. Even if it is guaranteed to you by law, it still might.

There are a lot of bad actors in the security space. DDG, for example. Companies like perimeter 81 I don't trust based solely on the fact that Israel regularly and frequently acts nefariously. Bitlocker replaces good drive encryption y

Software engineering has huge ranges of salary. Not only do I doubt you get paid the same, but I also doubt you get paid as much as my best performing lead engineers.

It sounds like I struck a nerve. Does it hurt you knowing there are a lot of developers out there that contribute more in a week than you do in several months?

When we get to that point, people will form pair bonds with holograms that text and video chat them on the go.

I've got a strong suspicion that there would be more productivity if the bottom half of developer (or more) left the industry. Control for seniority, of course. The majority of 1Xers produce outright bad code, contribute disproportiona

Ideating is a muscle. When you intentionally spend time everyday writing down ideas, playing with old ideas, and looking at how others drew inspiration for their ideas, you become stronger at the skill. "Creative" people were not

I've found from a management position it's a useful tool to confirm suspicions about salary thieves. Sometimes I pair them with a no-nonsense dev who will tell me specific problems. Sometimes I pair two problem developers together

IQ 55: mate, I trust me instincts IQ 100: DO YOU HAVE A SOURCE FOR THAT? IQ 145: It's perfectly rational to trust your deep instincts, since they passed through generations of evolutionary pressure

I've used Duolingo for about a year and they definitely have a lot of stuff like that built into the gamification. Often times, though, playing the game they designed is counterproductive. I've broken 100+ day streaks twice now be

This is one of the harsh realities leftists struggle with most. Their world view is a carefully constructed denial of reality. Then, suddenly something that can't be pretended away - like a perimenopausal woman who thinks kids are in h

Luckily for you, you're not the only Chris Marshall in NY. I personally know a physicist with the same name in the same state.

I think understanding "soulmate" -whether or not it exists - can be understood by looking at the antithesis. I know I've been in a mistake of a relationship where I had found the opposite of a soulmate. The things that made h

For anyone struggling, turning the screen to black and white helps. Less dopamine per hit makes it easier to break those habits.

Different standards, too. I've become used to US/Canada restaurant standards for food when I go out to eat. Everytime I leave the country I'm thoroughly impressed by the quality and taste. Still, I'll be somewhere like O

Depends on the industry and client. Some industries have a lot of consultants that don't write code but will tell you 80% is the minimum. Some contracts stipulate code coverage deliverables. Some platforms like Salesforce count lines o

> Same goes for prototyping. I don't see much of a correlation between willingness to prototype and seniority, either. Willingness is one thing, but getting yelled at for learning and doing your best is another. I never treat my Jun
