Thank you for the link and the recommendation! I'm just, you know, sort of neurotic about certain things, and I know I'm not alone here on HN. :)

That's puttering, tinkering, or experimenting. It's a good thing. Bikeshedding is wasting time on trivial and pointless efforts or discussions. It's a bad thing. :) https://phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/bikeshed&#

From a pure economics perspective, this is healthy for the business. There are always low performers. Periodically transitioning out the bottom 10% or so, and rehiring different people, possibly in a different departmental distribution, i

Perl was great! But perl came and went. Shell scripts are forever. So far.

Does that mean you develop code without running it locally? The first execution of new code is in CI?

But my point is that one of those statements will exist in every filing. If the corp has never been profitable, the first. Otherwise, the second. They mean absolutely nothing about what management expects for the future of the company. Th

Yes, that's absolutely what they write. They will always be explicit that they could be wrong in disastrous ways and they are not misleading you into thinking otherwise. Every public corp's "official stated position"

> in their IPO filing That's meaningless -- just legal boilerplate. No one wants to be sued for their dog & pony show sales pitch, so they always hedge by including explicit doom & gloom scenarios in the legal paperwork.

You're right. Marketing is expensive. Distribution is cheap these days, but often the two functions are colocated. I would even posit that many popular creative works are commercially worthless, absent the expensive marketing. And in s

> The creative industry isn’t wildly profitable There are a lot of profits in the industry, but as I think you're alluding to, not a great proportion of those profits go to the creators. I want a model where I can compensate artis

Good point. Of course this presumes that we understand the physics at that scale, and that there's nothing akin to a quantum tunneled nervous system, etc.

If you test defensively[0], CI will catch the vast majority of functional bugs. Anything that is missed suggests at least two bugs: one in tests, and one in business logic.[0] A reliable deployment pipeline is outside of CI, but can be ke

If one can disbelieve the Primacy of the Pope, and instead that the Pretender wearing the Pope's garments is in fact the anti-Christ, and still believe they are an adherent of Catholicism, then they have asserted a Schism in the Church

You are making my point.

Do you call yourself a Googler after you quit? You, and they, can use whatever labels serve your, or their, purpose. But at some point it doesn't make much sense, or have much meaning, to do so. I'm a Catholic.

by quesera 1y ago
It strikes me as fairly irrelevant what Catholics call ex-Catholics. I don't think you can (edit: reasonably) call yourself a Catholic if you do not adhere to certain tenets of the Catholic Church. (This is where I was going with the c

Ah right. So "for those issues on which doctrine is silent, we will use my opinion". We'll call it "natural law", to suggest that it comes from somewhere other than some random human. Got it.

I'm pretty sure you cease to be a Catholic when you call the Pope the anti-Christ. Infallible, God's representative on Earth, etc. Though in USAmerica, we're pretty flexible on the meaning of "Christian" anyway. Cer

Also interestingly "The USA" and "The US" (en_US) both translate to "Los EE. UU." (es_MX, es_ES). Not to be confused with "The EU" (en_US) which is "La UE" (es_ES).

We had them in the US too. Tray-based CD players had a separate, smaller, indent of about 2.5" (6.35cm :) diameter which would accept them.
