And at the same time though, it's also generally more work to set things up for an online class, or at least it can be, especially for classes with labs, or ones that usually involved using a whiteboard. It may be a reduction in value

But then wouldn't more people in Tokyo be catching the virus because they're taking a train where they're in close poorly-ventilated proximity to a lot of other people? But instead, we're seeing their case load actually

That's what I mean though - what are places like Tokyo doing that Berlin isn't in this case? Or is the Tokyo subway as abandoned as NYC's these days?

How has Japan/South Korea worked around that? When I think of countries with crowded public transit, Japan is always top of mind, but they seem to have avoided a lot of the virus transmission problems you'd think would have been a

I'm not sure supplanted is right here. TikTok right now feels more like it's taking the role of Snapchat/Vine/Instagram. Part of the never-ending rollover of new apps for that sort of thing. Time will tell, but it doesn&

That's only true if all of the N contacts are infected. If I walk past 60 people on the street, there's a much lower chance than if I have lunch for an hour with someone who's infected. You don't instantly get sick just

I think that's somewhat what I mean. It's less about having any particular style as much as having A style. I know plenty of folks whose style is "weird" or punk or overly-formal or other looks that aren't normal &q

Eh, I mean, fit kinda matters more than the specific garments anyway. There's an older man at my office who dresses in a style that looks like a Victorian English professor - hats, tweed and small glasses. It's totally a look that

I think a lot of it is style more than the specific clothes. If you're wearing a tie that you didn't tie well, and doesn't match your outfit, that's going to look bad on you literally and figuratively. A lot of people &q

Yea, I don't think there's nearly as much of a stigma against being bald/short cut hair any more. If anything, I know plenty of younger folks who keep their hair pretty short these days.

by noirbot 6y ago
Probably hard to tease apart, but I wonder if the "dying your hair" part matters as much as the "dressing more hip" part. Someone that looks like they're dressing well and have a sense of style is likely to innately

As a younger developer on the other said of this, I have plenty of senior/older engineers that I would love to work for again, but I also feel a bit awkward reaching out to them to ask if they want to work with me again. It's hard

I think that last point is a lot of it - Even with people that have 10 years of experience or less, one of the big things that can stick out to me in an interview is if someone seems dogmatic or in a position where their word has been law f

It's also that Windows/Linux has many of these issues as well. It's not as if Windows 10 notifications are clear and intuitive. When I go to my desktop after a day of work, Windows will slowly replay every single slack messag

I'd argue that's unhealthy behavior though. As someone who has less need for daily social contact, having my coworkers leaning on me for their "daily recommended dose" of social interactions isn't healthy for me. I

But just because it's not new doesn't mean we should accept it or cheer it on as it continues in new forms. I'd argue a lot of the movement in culture over the last 20 years especially has been trying to move away from those

Yea, not to say it's not the case. We're both trading anecdotes here. I'm sure there's probably statistics for it though. My assumption would be that the amount to which someone travels is fairly correlated to their inco

Do you have any evidence of this? Almost everyone I know who travels to "see the world" lives in a major city, and almost everyone I know who lives in a smaller town hasn't even left the country in their lives. There's s

by noirbot 6y ago
That may be true, but the world's definitely not coming to whatever small town you'd live in in Upstate NY moreso. Living in a city doesn't mean you never leave it any more than living in the country does.

Some of it is also the OP seems to have a history of just going around making incendiary posts and insulting the intelligence of anyone they disagree with. It's endearing the first time - when you've got a pattern of it, and often

by noirbot 6y ago
You can make great points without saying everyone else on the site is "levels of stupid". That's unnecessary, unhelpful, and just escalates the debate immediately. OP is the one who brought an incensed and polemical tone to t

In what way is World of Warcraft a "walled garden"? It's a single game. If anything, it's one of the most extensible online games made by a major studio. Do you just mean "walled garden" as "not FOSS"

Having been in some calls with reps/solutions architect folks recently, the push hasn't been super hard. I don't think the CFN vs. Terraform discussion has ever come up.

I'm confused that the author says about Cloudformation: > Lack of Drift detection or reconciliation. With lack of drift detection comes great uncertainty. Cloudformation has definitely had Drift Detection since 2018: https:/&#

Yea, this is exactly what I was talking about. It's not to say that Cloudformtation can't run into the same thing - deleting S3 buckets is difficult in any situation - but there's a lot of things Terraform doesn't/w

To be fair, that also happens a lot in Terraform. I'm taking over work at my org where people have wrapped Terraform in 2-3 different tools and templating engines. And then you have to work out how to robustly store and back up your TF

I think some of the difference is that we went through all of that, and the NSA/Snowden leaks, and trust in the US government in general is at all-time lows. The fact that all that happened gives me hope and expectation that people are

I'm not sure we'll specifically know the answer there for a while, but I haven't seen much in terms of regional variation that seems especially crazy. Most of the places where it's been especially bad are places you&#x27

I think the interesting thing now is that, at least personally, I'm willing to pay hotel-level rates to stay at somewhere run by one of those "true believers". I know one of the things I look for is someone who's got a l
