What I find most appalling is that even though all these positions are staffed, there is no limit to what they will ask developers to do. They want the developer to come up with all the ideas, write the stories, do the work, do the coordina

Big trucks are well into 6 figures now. And with the miracle of 100 month loans they have suddenly become accessible to people with a median income and a highly impoverished financial education.

On the “who’s to blame” front you can put banks at the top of the list. They are the ones that make it easy for people to “buy” these modern monstrosities. If people did not have access to wild financing options the cars they could afford t

This is like a “sun rises again” story. Of course the mayor of London still hates brexit. Just like the rest of the ruling class and their lackeys in the media.

Man growing up in the suburbs sounds like heaven compared to this. Pouring your cereal and roaches come out? Thats a scene from a nightmare or horror film. Growing up in the midwestern suburbs in the 80s we saw them occasionally, but nothi

Should this really be called a “vaccine”? I feel like that is going to give people the wrong impression about what it does. I think labelling it gene therapy, immune therapy, or something like that would be closer to what it actually does.

The taxes seem low? If you earned that much on a w2 in the US it would be much higher by the time federal, state, and local tax came out. I have no idea what the tax implication would be if the earnings went to an llc. Might even be worse.

I remember as a teenager thinking that these RPGs were high art. Woof.

That was my thought. It reminds me a lot of the “think of the truck drivers!” bs from the autonomous self driving crowd years ago. No closer today than it was a decade ago.

It’s a shame that Ruby doesn’t have the cachet it once had. People are missing out. It’s still a fantastic language and Rails is still the goat web framework. Perhaps we’ll see a renaissance in the future. I still prefer to do all my tinker

If that is enough to turn you off it’s probably for the best.

Lack of diversity is stated but never mentioned again. Diversity of what is left to the readers interpretation. This reads like a hit piece rather than a genuine exploration of a real issue.

I think it’s odd that they cut people loose to freestyle their diet the last 4 weeks. As with most studies like this it’s very hard to draw any kind of conclusion. I guess the follow up would be longer term studies that constrain more varia

That is just not true. Inflation is not an immutable law of nature. In fact, we should expect to see the prices of certain commodities go down as technological advances drive efficiency and productivity. And in fact many times in the past w

How attractive someone is or becomes is not an immutable attribute. If you have a little bit of success or luck in your early life and have a decent diet, access to healthcare, decent clothes and grooming that can make an insane difference

While I agree with the sentiment it really depends on many factors, most of which are unknowable. That is, if you knew to certainty that a loved one would live 2 months in hospice or 3 months in hospital most people would pick 2 months of

A technology like htmx seems to demand a “hypermedia” API. Whereas things like angular and react can consume a data API in many cases. However once an application becomes sufficiently complex people end up building data APIs just to suit th

This is pretty cool, but in my experience critical path code generally has side effects and most code is not idempotent. That is to say it may not be safe or feasible to run the old and new code in parallel, without some special considerati

There is a terrific lecture by Michael Sugrue on Marcus Aurelius where he discusses some of the history of Stoicism. I think that lecture can give you a good understanding of the appeal.

3) People and businesses usually won’t value your “clean code”. 4) You will often work with incompetent people. Especially in larger organizations. Pretty well agree with everything else.

I don’t think they are really out of line for their estimate. I live in a mid size city in the midwest and we have paid $50-$100 per day depending on the quality of the facility. I’m sure a weekly or monthly rate could knock that down a bit

What are you suggesting? I don’t even know how I would describe it. A “no holds barred” economy and society? Perhaps you are OK with cigarettes being advertised children and things like that. Is it too paternalistic to stop that? If you liv

At some point you have to come to grips with the fact that you aren’t as motivated, creative, or smart as you think you are. And it isn’t burnout, add, or any other reason stopping you.

How do you feel about making it even easier for certain people to frankly ruin their lives through poor financial decisions? BNPL for wedding dresses? This is the high fructose corn syrup of the monetary system.
