That was scarier than many horror movies. Maybe he should enter that in a short movie competition.

I don't think it's about monitoring, but it's probably about status, and your use of the word 'code cattle' seems relevant (I was also thinking about farms). Or a more apt comparison would be factory floors.

In the case of SQLite, it doesn't have a server process. In the case of cloud "serverless" it doesn't have a physical ser-- Wait did you just mention "managed servers"?

Jones was not completely wrong. The chemicals don't make the frogs 'gay' but they definitely severely mess with their sexuality https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2842049/

In France it's largely Islam and north-African immigrants. It managed to completely shatter the secular and assimilation/integration model that had worked for at least a century. But to answer more generally the loss of character

In 1914, Germany declared war on France. Then Britain declared war on Germany. In 1939 France and Britain jointly declared war on Germany. It seems to me that there are at least three primary belligerents of the last two world wars (I would

It's a high-level API. It went through N generations of graphics hardware for 30 years (40 if you consider IRIS GL).

Look at what happened in Afghanistan. A bunch of Toyota pickup trucks and AK-47s collected on the cold bodies of soviet soldiers is all it took for mujahideens to win the war, despite 20 years of war and trillions of dollars spent. The main

Not really; I mostly know Jenkins. The best tool really depends on your workflow, language(s), environment, etc.

The French word for work, 'travail', comes from 'tripalium', a medieval torture instrument. It's bad for everyone, and I definitely think a society where only one parent has to work instead of two is better. A &#x27

I think we observe that in primate societies as well. So saying that the modern / western view is an anomaly is a bit of an understatement.

Saying that women give up a career to look after their children is like lamenting the fact that people are giving up drinking to look after their liver.

I like Jenkins. Some criticisms of Jenkins I'm aware of (and some I share): * The UI is a bit ugly * Plugins are a minefield. Some are excellent, others are undocumented and unmaintained. The UI treats them equally so it's e

You are offering a solution to something that is not a problem, and you should probably question why you think that / where this ideology is coming from. You need resources and work to care for your family. The fact that in some cases

Yes I've observed that it's useful to have people like physicists or electrical engineers in a software development team, because they have a different perspective on things.

Why not something like the Linux Foundation? Stop all the marketing and the nonsense advocacy, focus on developing a browser, get other companies to fund development. It's in the interest of quite a few vendors to have a good, neutral

For comparison, Linus total compensation at the Linux Foundation is around 1.6m; Greg KH around 400k.

CMake is the defacto standard for a reason. It's a great tool. However, it definitely has a steep learning curve. It took me many hours to get it, because the documentation is, I would not say 'bad' (it's actually really

Yeah I was wrong about index ETFs in particular but my general point remains: most of their AUM are in passive funds (ETF or not). According to their last annual report, only 27% of AUM are in active funds. https://ir.blackrock.c

'A tour of C++' by Stroustrup is a good overview of modern C++. I recently got back into C++ after big hiatus, just like you, and for me the things that changed are: - definitely the things you mentioned: much safer constructs

A cynical take: Most of BlackRock's assets under management are invested in index ETFs. Index ETFs are essentially undifferentiated products. The indices are defined by other companies (S&P, MSCI, FTSE, NASDAQ, etc.) and you can ge

Climate change is not a discrete event, so it was a bit absurd to attribute those particular fires to climate change, like the media did. At the end of the day, fire is fuel + air + a hot enough temperature to ignite (but not weather hot; m

It most certainly will. They released a security patch for XP last year. The reason they won't support they systems forever is the cost of doing so (and of course they want people to upgrade), but the cost of fixing a really bad securi

That's a bit of a meme. Not entirely wrong. But the people who have hedge fund money know how to read the fine print about returns. The goal of hedge fund is to reduce volatility and/or to generate uncorrelated returns. Some peopl

You're not wrong in the absolute; my point is more that designing, implementing and running a model, good or bad, is increasingly team work. So there is not a single 'whoever' behind that model.

Let me clarify my point a bit: the easier it is to measure the actual performance of an employee, the more their compensation will be linked to their performance. Take for example a company developing software. The variance in the compensat
