Self examination is the only way really. Why do you feel the way you do about X? What are your own biases? What are your own baked in assumptions? What details do you not actually know, but are allowing yourself to assume? Think about thing

I don’t see how the world will get by without experienced programmers staying in IC roles well into their retirement years. This is for two reasons. First, the demand for software is going up significantly, and new programmers do not come w

And service. People are so habitualized to going out, spending money, receiving an inconsistent product, delivered with shambolic service, that they just can't stop, even if they recognize how bad things have gotten.

I got to the plan section and was mighty disappointed. This is simply a treatise on how bad humans and civilization are in the eyes of the new age Gaia religion. All problems and very few “pro human” solutions.

Something dramatic is going to have to happen for SWE salaries to drop significantly. I have a feeling if SWEs take a 20%+ haircut on salaries things are going to be absolutely abysmal for people in other roles.

It’s kind of disappointing that history, philosophy, and mathematics are not taught together. When you try to piece these things together yourself you start to realize how much context you miss out on when studying them in isolation.

I do appreciate this stuff and actually enjoyed doing it as a teenager. But reading this made me realize why a macbook pro is so very worth the money.

As somebody that inherited a similar mess, spent 5 years of their life on it, made a lot of progress, but still didn’t fully “fix it” in the end, let me caution you a bit before you embark on this quest. Consider the opportunity cost of cle

The fact that the solutions to our problems are to simply go without for an indeterminate amount of time is a failure of leadership at the highest levels. Why aren’t our governments funding “Manhattan Project” style programs for energy, fo

We used this in school. If I remember correctly one of the intro CS courses was taught by Jennifer Blue and in the catalog it showed up as being taught by “Blue J”. Very fitting.

It is interesting to me that the author would start at the materialist assumption. Most people take it as a “given”, but I have softened to the idea that maybe it is not a correct or complete way of viewing things.

It's a fascinating topic, especially as you become older. The saying that the only thing more tragic than not getting what you want is finally getting it seems true based on experience. It kind of suggests an ascetic lifestyle, or at t

Certainly one of the possibilities. It could also be disinfo to send enemy states down a path to nowhere. The UAP phenomenon is not going to boil down to a single thing. There will be a spectrum of explanations, most of which are banal.

Flying commercial is one of the least dignified forms of travel and has been for a long time. Regulators already have the ability to step in and penalize carriers for poor behavior, but they don’t. The relationship between business and regu

I vehemently disagree with this "Their prescription for dealing with such troubles is to develop profound internal strength, and in doing so the stoic attitude can dodge some societal-level failures by compartmentalizing toward a robus

Or so many other tools. If you can open a socket, you can transfer data.

I think there is a lot of value in these tools for the enterprise. Even if it is just CYA insurance. If somebody steals data but you have a DLP tool you can just blame the vendor. My biggest issue with the tools is they have an insanely de

Working as a developer inside large enterprise is increasingly intolerable by the day, made possible by tools such as crowdstrike falcon. By the time your workstation is saddled with endpoint security, DLP, zero trust networking, antivirus,

This would be a situation where government should step in with some regulatory authority. The public utilities in general cannot cut off your electric or gas service for a simple billing issue. And in some cases, such as during a harsh wint

Lot of sympathy here for teachers, which is very understandable. I am sure many of them, especially those early in their career, have a very miserable existence. But on the flip side I know several teachers that “stuck it out” and are makin

Yes. I think that has to do with the culture of budgetary cycles and planning. It makes it very unlikely that a leader would want to jettison dead weight during “the good times” since they might lose the budget if the role is not backfilled

I have used cast iron and carbon steel for a while. They have their uses and I generally prefer them, but a nonstick pan is essential in many circumstances. Just watch Jacques Pepin make a French style omelette. He used a non stick pan. Who

This is not surprising to anybody that ever worked at a sufficiently large organization. Once you get a large number of employees, then layer in HR, legal, compliance, etc. considerations it creates quite a lot of opportunities for low perf

The idea that many vendors have is an agent on the client and server that scrutinizes every connection, at both ends, based on policy and/or entitlement to specific resources. For an enterprise this means not having to worry as much ab
