We already know that the object over the great lakes was a balloon with metal structural support, different in size and payload than the one we shot down over the Atlantic coast, but a similar object. There was a memo released about it repo

I thought both books were entirely too generous in their depictions of humanity's ability to coordinate for enormous, earth-saving efforts. I have a feeling that a real extinction level crisis would be much more like Don't Look Up

I can't think of a single famous software engineer that continuously redefined the entire industry, every single year. Like, some language designers and tooling creators have redefined the industry once a decade. But every year? For wh

This is why configurations as code should be written in actual programming languages. Dhall, Nix, and Pulumi are all solutions geared towards configuration but written with fully capable, user-extensible, programming languages.

I cynically suspect this to be the case. As soon as one does it; the others have to follow to have any hope of controlling the tech salary bubble. They Don have to collude, just watch and match percentages.

I imagine someone manually changing the flight manifest by clicking a delete button on each passenger and crew member, and waiting on a database save and gui redraw after each action. Complete with major timeouts and concurrency errors due

This all sounds incredibly dysfunctional. With remote work the new normal, I wonder if a new great migration will occur soon.

Huh. It's almost like writing native guis with cross-platform bindings was a thing for a reason.

Scala's compiler used to widen prematurely and apply implicit conversions similarly to what you described. Scala 3 doesn't do that [1]. The new inference algorithm will, however, prefer a generic method over the same named method

What does coffeescript have to do with performance? It compiles down to JS just like every other js front-end lang.

The US already got there in the 30s. Government subsidies are what disincentivized overproduction and got the US out along with better soil preservation techniques. Modern farms are moving to no-till and cover crop practices to protect the

You all can laugh, but this has been a standard beginner running back drill since football was a thing [1]. I am not a biomechanics expert, or a football coach. But I still remember this explanation from when I played as a kid, and this dri

Yeah, tabnine kills it at the data entry parts of test dev as well for sure.

Tabnine, in emacs, with lsp mode gives you single line completions and predicts and fills out word by word in a very effective manner. It's an actual timesaver and worth the money (in emacs). The vscode experience is more problematic,

I almost never use the mouse in vscode, emacs keybindings and the command pallete and keyboard shortcuts created any time I touch the mouse. But I also don't get everything I want, (like macros and web browsing and face customization a

I remember when it was $1 for almost 7 years, then went to $1.49. It hurt because now you had to feed 2 bills into machines that could barely take 1 reliably, and were always out of change. How that didn't drive the price back down to

You can't buy a book, keep it on a shelf, lend it to new hires, and afford to have an employee take a week out of being productive to learn something? Or you can't afford salaries for a company of people who have more than 5 years

More analogous to software development is the design of the house with the blueprints as output, and regulations, client review, and architect creative inspiration as the software specs. Nobody complains about blueprints being delivered too

Do you not have some sort of work chat? Video calls? Peer review of your work output? I haven't worked with anything with oversight as lax as you are describing in at least a decade.
