At least before GDPR it was a common wisdom among backend people that deleting things is just not worth it. I remember when I joined an otherwise cloud-focused team as an embedded engineer and suggested that we add a way to delete an accoun

That was puzzles me now. Everyone with a semblance of expertise in engineering knows that if you start with a tool and try to find a problem it could solve you are doing it wrong. The right way is the opposite - you start with a problem, an

So far AI market seems to be focused on replacing meaningful jobs, meaningless ones look safe (which kind of makes sense if you think about it).

Not quite, but pretty close, I am impressed. I'd say it's doing better than most people at least for me

I also see that in real world too. Too many times I wished a book existed to learn this or that and got an answer that you really need to hang out in multiple Discord groups to stay up-to-date. Newer generation apparently has less difficult

OK, not general problem-solving ability, but subject-specific problem-solving ability. And I don't mean more tedious problems, but rather those that require self-discovery of non-standard approaches while not relying on any knowledge f

To be fair - maybe that's what the product mentioned should have been doing? You can focus on general problem-solving ability by giving talented kids hard problems with the amount of knowledge adequate for their level rather giving the

That's the immediate result. But what about later, when the war is over? Military expense is non-productive, economically it's the same as just giving people money for free while they are sitting on the couch (nobody is killed in

Details might differ, the big picture is pretty much the same. The left-wing are shy and try not to annoy the voter base by being too radical, while the right-wing are getting more aggressive and outspoken. And still the right-wing mostly w
