Too bad many places care more about how long you stay warming the seat than how useful the work done actually is.

In the places that I worked, features came before all else, and bugs weren't fixed unless customers complain

Sometimes, a "bug" can be caused by nasty architecture with intertwined hacks. Particularly on games, where you can easily have event A that triggers B unless C is in X state... What I want to say is that I've seen what happe

True, I use proton for their mail and VPN, but use hetzner for bulk backups

Because of 3-2-1 Backup Rule, it's great to have a cloud backup for things that you don't want to lose. It's also great if you move frequently, or travel a lot.

Note that in taiwan people want the status quo, not reunification. And nobody likes to do things when threatened by force, which is what the CCP is doing

Since you went there with a visa, I'm sure you noticed that the authority that issued that visa has nothing to do with Beijing. And since you also know that the taiwanese want to "maintain status quo", it's probably clea

I'm sure that you can see in the map that there's "free are of the republic of china", which wasn't represented in the map, which was the point I raised originally. I never mentioned taiwan independence, you twist t

And if we are talking about the constitution, technically parts of Russia, India, Vietnam, Mongolia are also "claimed" by the ROC. This map should show the areas of actual rule and control (de facto) and don't accept any terr

Then it should be striped, the same way Crimea is.

Seeing that it fails to portray the current map accurately, by not to separating PRC and ROC (taiwan), makes me question everything about older data

With all these new APIs, I worry what the web will look like in 10 years, will be have this huge API surface always will us? Will we start to see deprecations in the web api? I'm worried if the XSLT is setting a precedent on deprecatin

People always ask for feedback, but I haven't met anybody that can actually take it. Most people just don't want to hear, don't want to know. And people know it, so people don't say what they think.

I can't wait to see how the coding performance will start to drop on with newer tools and versions, as people no longer discuss them in the same detail and quantity as they used to. People using LLMs will be stuck in the pre-2023 tools

But Ukraine was/is forced to "benchmark" their approaches with the reality of the war. How will success be measured for this reform?

good advice, someone should have told me this years ago, when you start, you need to know that this is not your game, work, watch and learn. Don't even think about "this is wrong" "they should do this instead" &quot
