Sure, and you can use NSAIDs correctly and experience the same. For instance, if you're taking methotrexate. At some point you need to have a new avenue for disseminating that type of information, especially when doctors visits are bec

Orthogonal is a math term fwiw. Most SWEs are math majors by way of CS/CE. Hence it shows up here a lot.

Time is a PITA to normalize between frontends and backends, but not an overly arduous task. I wonder what's preventing them from know what the users preferred format is. Anecdotally, I worked for a British company that used YY/MM&

Are shills misinformation adjacent in some way? It's interesting to see activists listed as potential shills, though they don't clearly explain the body of evidence that aligns activists as potentially harmful. An activist can b

It's false for something like 45-60% of tax payers. That's not a "vast majority", and that's just based on people who have previously used deductions. The IRS can't do this with small business owners for simila

Words do matter, as do the concepts behind them. We've been generating documentation through code for a long time. Go has an implementation of this and OpenAPI does as well. Docs as code seems to endear adjacency to code. Version contr

That would also be the point of what I described. You're not writing code, you're writing comments. Those comments are consumed by a structured static site generator. What linode does has nothing to do with code other than using a

I have a lot of flowers that grow out front of my house. If you pick my tulips, daffodils, roses, or lillies then I'll be mad because they're pretty, short-lived, and for pollinators. I go to great lengths to have blooming flowers

To your first point, I agree that's probably a smart allocation to make given the expense. Where we differ is the value driven by lower order tests; synthetic test breakages are also more expensive fixes since they've traveled the

The part I didn't cover that probably loops your ideas and my ideas together are that no testing is fool proof, and the ultimate goal of testing in modern software is minimize the time you spend in an incident - not to absolve yourself

I wouldn't call mocking testing against reality. Like all testing it has its limitations: - Mocking doesn't validate schema. Vendors can change schemas on a dime and the schema you're working with is often the schema as you k

There's 7.8 billion people in the world, so 3.6 billion qualifies as "most". It's also worth noting we're in a global food crisis which started in 2020 and got worse in 2021. It continues to grow year over year. Ukr

Instead of making it static could you implement a submission process and liveliness checker? This seems like a really cool way to share content with each other.

Ah, state is relative in this context. A VM lacks state when you determine the starting state. A function lacks state depending on how you code it and the contracts you have. A CDN is always stateful. Sometimes the Terraform state overlaps

by kodah 3y ago
As I said, you need to know how that infrastructure is built. Terraform is just fine. If you call to spin up a VM with a disk that's been imaged to a standard, that is immutable. Functions can also be made immutable by programming in a

by kodah 3y ago
That's not true. Immutable infrastructure state should not be dependent on previous state because there is no state . It's remove and replace only. If there's a piece of infrastructure that cannot be regarded as immutable an
