You can witness something similar in many rural areas, specifically where people are surviving off the land. Rarely does mother nature or anything else cooperate with plans or expectations. People just get used to it and develop a very wor

That last point is so painful and true. I work with a product that has dozens if not hundreds of “connectors” to interface with other systems and you can tell that most of them were farmed out to the lowest bidder.

As was pointed out many developments are built out over time in sections as demand dictates. Another factor besides coronavirus is widespread civil unrest. I think the one two punch was enough to make many people start considering it. My fr

Now every developer has access to any db credential that was in source control. If your project has had hundreds or thousands of developers that is a security concern.

That’s all well and good until you need to upgrade some massive project to a new JDK or your Rails app from one major version to another. Then you will be wishing you had significant coverage.

Thanks for following up. I have been watching it as well.

I think people selfishly like many aspects of the covid lockdown. But they may regret it later. I know many school teachers that have enjoyed a very light workload this spring and are rooting for something similar in the fall. It may go on

Also in that timeframe the privacy landscape and people’s sensitivity to it have changed a great deal. It’s a much bigger concern amongst normies than it was 10-15 years ago.

It will disproportionately punish low income people, just like all other “sin” taxes. I would prefer to see a campaign of public education and encouragement towards healthier alternatives. In the US we have had very good success in curbing

Deaths have clearly peaked and are going down. Cases could be increasing due to increased and/or improved testing.

The cost is unannounced, but it will surely be astronomical. The penny farthing design feature is going to really appeal to the urban hipsters that will be able to afford it. I would bet the price approaches the cost of a nice used pull beh

I don’t think any of those examples are really misconceptions. You even admit that many people have this experience with “blue collar” unions. Most developers are not foolish enough to think they are immune to these foibles. We have a lot m

We have seen high profile cases with gamers and athletes being influenced to limit what they say about China. This case seems to be with a much less notable person, but I wonder how often this happens and is never seen. Many tech companies

I also thought it had some kind of connotations from music production as well.

I can only imagine this will break a great amount of tooling around Git. I also have never had anybody complain about this in real life, in any context (drive jumpers, database nodes, or git branches). I remember within the last few years R

I would like to see a return of the Macbook. I loved the form factor on mine, but after a couple OS updates the anemic processor became a painful bottleneck. On the flipside my several years old iPad pro still feels blazingly fast.

Please do. If you could completely delete my account that would be even better.

Unless you assemble because you want to work. Then the media will paint you in the worst light possible an act like you are actively murdering grandma.

Why shouldn’t they? People were browbeaten for having the audacity to want to return to work. Now politicians are out marching shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other people. We also were told that Georgia was going to be a disaster fo

In the last couple years I worked on migrating some teams from CVS to Git. That is the reality of a lot of projects in the industry.

These mental gymnastics are incredible, and it shows how terribly mislead legacy and social media has made people. The idea that in most of these cases the police just rolled up, started shooting tear gas into crowds for no reason, and THEN

I don’t remember them starting any fires or looting any stores either.

I only take minor exception to them shooting at the press with pepper balls and things like that. Should it happen? Generally no, but you have look at it from the other side. These are large and violent riots and it’s very easy for people t

I am not seeing the privacy issue. In most cases the police are interacting with people out in the public rather than in their homes and businesses. In most jurisdictions it is already one party consent to record.

I would like them to provide and require body cams for all officers at the federal level and require all deaths and injuries occurring in police custody to be reviewed by the FBI/justice dept.
