I think a better way to put this is - don't worry about things you can't change. It's my prime directive in life. A big one thing you can't change is "the past". People fret about what could have been different

I struggle with this a lot, and am super aware that I do this. It's NEVER my intention to make someone feel stupid, but I think the way I say things comes across that way. I have a hard time correcting it, or even knowing what / h

I also remember the first time I managed to see Saturn through my own telescope. It took forever to get it in frame, and I wasn't even sure what I was looking for until I finally centered it. I knew it was brighter than the other stars

In the age of misinformation, how do we better equip our society to know (or even desire to know) what is accurate information? I think it's easy to think of censorship as the answer, and it's easy to think that in this extreme ci

Let the market sort them out then, right?

I want a new term - "author smell" or "article smell". I loathe when someone or some article rants on about their silver bullet solution, or alternatively, that doing some thing is always bad. I learned a test taking str

Hmm. What if some of these people realize they are hurting their community and trying to return what they don't need so others can have it?

These people just see the odds and think "oh it probably won't get me" without any regard to anyone else. It's the hallmark of being a conservative.

I hope actions like this can start to make people wake up that this is in fact serious and should be taken seriously. Still too many people calling it a hoax and that it's no worse than a common cold.

Again .... that might be the best solution for your company, or it might be introducing complexity where it's not actually needed. It all depends on the situation and needs of whatever problem you are trying to solve.

Adding an entirely new instance is not the only way to accomplish each of those things. A lot of those things can be treated just like applications. You don't need a whole new computer to run Outlook, another computer to run Sublime Te

You're right. However, a lot of new (or just bad) devs miss the whole Keep It Simple Stupid concept and think that they NEED Kubernetes-shaped solutions in order to "do it the right way". Many times three web servers and a lo

Yeah, seems like this would be much better than humans and result in better results overall.

I've interviewed several hundred people and gave them a take home test of a simple problem that we had encountered in our work. We asked them to write a simple API that would return the closest pharmacy, given a latitude and longitude

An organization I was at in the past attempted to use them as a replacement for sessions, which turned out to be a terrible idea as I suspected it would. I've found that arbitrarily re-inventing the wheel because a new thing becomes po

Yeah. 15+ years after a bad trip for me, I am still dealing with the effect it had on my life. It honestly had an entirely different effect than articles like this portray - it turned me from an easy going worry free 20 year old into a pani

Yeah. A small company I used to work for had a phase where Amazon contacted us and wanted to potentially partner up. CEO went and spoke at Amazon and they got to see our goodies and then nothing came of it. I think that their intention was

Easy, just build a fusion reactor capable of eventually producing vanadium from hydrogen, and you got yourself a stew going! Edit : Method of producing said reactor left as an exercise for the reader.

How's that coming along?

Is that because you think that the federal government doesn't properly utilize the tax dollars that it receives? If the federal government is past its prime, what do you think that the future of the United States should look like?

More of the "but what about them" logic, or "they did it too so it's fine". NYT should put out an article criticizing themselves AND FedEx, maybe they're both shitty but doesn't excuse one or the other.

There, that wasn't so hard. Take a lesson, OP, list specific verifiable arguments instead of ad hominem "yeah those guys suck as usual".

How do you feel about the difference in income tax rates from the mid twentieth century to now for the upper wealth brackets?

I think that two grains of sand on beaches of the opposite ends of the Earth are probably more likely to interact than a random rock and a tiny satellite that has left the Solar System into interstellar space. In fact, in about 40,000 years

Yes, I meant more along the lines of "not be engulfed by the closest star" as another commenter mentioned. :)
