“Everyone” is too large of a group. And way too anonymous. The group would be one in which you value your membership and the opinion of others. In the past, it would have been a church, a social club, or in a small town, the town itself.

Not like a government. Unless you mean to make unpopular speech illegal. What I am referring to is a group that makes people accountable for behavior that is legal by the definition of the law, but is otherwise considered anti-social and sh

At a small enough level, you can maintain standards of conduct that are civil and fair. Once you reach a certain size, you lose the cohesion and accountability that makes someone feel like they need to be civil. Maybe part of solving that p

At my last job, my manager “tricked” me during the interview. Apparently, he wanted to see how I dealt with criticism. At least that is how the recruiter justified it when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the experience and my hesitation

Agreed. I like Nim for game programming. It is much productive than programming in C/C++.

Programming in F# was an enlightening experience. The biggest improvement came when I abandoned OOP altogether and gave myself over to programming in a functional style. Sadly, the job prospects are few and far between.

I’ve spent a heck of a lot of time listening to Music for Programming. Recently, I stumbled upon the following as well and like them maybe a bit more: - A strange, isolated place (ASIP) - Headphone Commute This is pretty much all I listen t

I suspect many of the AI companies floating around nowadays are really just faking it till they make it on the assumption that they will figure it out once they get big enough.

I just bought a monthly subscription for a Mac Postgres client called SQL Pro for Postgres. After wrestling with PgAdmin 3 and 4, I threw in the towel and paid for a proper client. It’s 5.99 a month and as much as I hate rent-seeking, it al

Wouldn’t that type of job make you really cynical about every other comment you read online? If your posts are hidden ads then what about the others? There is a difference between an advertisement that is labeled as one and a disingenuous p

Unless it gives China reason to believe that such behavior is acceptable if their position on the world stage is high enough.

I have to imagine that at some point in life, we have to take responsibility for our actions. That is, regardless of how much the cigarette or liquor companies market to me, I’m not going to allow myself to become addicted to their products

“Everything in moderation” She wants to go from the extreme of over-participating to the extreme of not participating at all. Somewhere in the middle is a healthy balance that she isn’t considering. As humans, we have the ability to underst

I agree that throughout the article, she continues to signal in a way that one would signal on IG or FB. It’s offputting because she seems to miss the point of why social media can be unhealthy.

I was walking through Manhattan on Sunday along Broadway north of Union Square Park and I saw at least 2-3 homeless or panhandlers _per block_ along the way. I was directly asked for money a few times as well. I grew up in NYC. I spent high

I’ve felt this same way over the years. Worse is that I may have grasped them, if only in the most superficial way, only to have lost those gains to time. I think one has to take some time to understand the foundations upon which quaternion

Using google with a vpn (PIA) was a non-starter. I usually had to solve 3 or 4 puzzles before I could get to results. Privacy is important to me and it is just as important for them to deny me it.

I came here to say this. This is a case of bad design and it goes beyond database constraints. One, as you mentioned, the database schema seems to be driving the functionality, not the other way around. Two, the application is a monolith in

A religious analogy is that in Christianity, it is not enough to be good. You also have to accept Christ as your savior. Without both of those things, you risk your eternal soul. Here, the state is asking you to work within the laws they pu
