For the data we have, year on year increase of 30x, from 3 to 90, is not enough orders of magnitude for you to object saying "sky rocket" - that you call it a scare campaign? It is part of the point the city is missing data, these

I like that litmus test. Another thing I notice is organizations where PMs are assigned to projects as they come up. Meaning, "please cut these corners so I can launch sooner, get all the credit, then move on." In this case obviou

I don't believe contracting of any type us needed for a feature factory. It is more when product and project managers hijack the roadmap (or even create a roadmap at all) and then March along adding things for the sake of delivering st

I hear this, comments generally should not draw attention to themselves. For this, short & terse win. I routinely look to cut any unnecessary words from comments. It was the most painful code review where I asked someone to remove a jok

The real problem with the columbia and salmon is that the columbia is becoming an unviable spawning ground. That entails a full collapse of the species in the region and any other species depending on salmon for food. Doesn't matter wh

The columbia is a spawning ground, but it is spawning less than 10% what it used to. During the heat dome many salmon were getting burns on their body. The water level is too shallow to keep the water temps down. This is due to damming, irr

I feel there is a huge over indexing on Clean Code and self describing code. Essentially are we suffering from a journeyman problem where the commentary we focus on are written by those that are new and have trouble understanding basic synt

From the data that I could find, it's perhaps at best 10% of all tech companies that even go public (and very possibly as few as 1%). It's far more reasonable to assume a company is the 90% or 99% of companies that do not go publi

Mock vs a fake. The difference lies in where the behavior is specified. In a fake, the behavior is hardcoded or simple. With a mock, it is each test that says what the behavior is. The two scale differently. Mocks are per test, fakes are on

Talking over other people and being throttled down is not censorship. Being talked over, is censorship. Trolls don't have to be right, just louder. Their goal (from my perspective) is to pollute the information space. With large enough

Living standards in the US are reverting to the global mean well enough on it's own Life expectancy is not even top 20 and dropping. Social mobility is also not top 20, cost of healthcare is up there, poverty is up there.

Code is fast to write, slow to modify. That 10x dev is just in the initial write phase; anyone coming in later to modify that code will appear to be slower.

One more thing that occurred to me, most US retirees still own cars, and still pay car tabs! That is kinda the issue, payment for driving is spread across US society rather than being the burden of those that use cars. A strict counter-exam

> Additionally, if you are not using a car for commute, you're likely to be in the lower tax brackets and thus not paying (much) in taxes anyway. Doesn't this directly contradict your point that car commuters are subsidized?

by seadan83 3y ago
Only a fraction of the US population work and thus commute. Of those that commute, that 80% do not have equal road usage. Even within that community, there is a subsidy going on. So, yes, there is a ton of subsidization going on (and this i

I guess also worth mentioning, modern forestry uses tree farms and has been for a while. Those tree farms burn differently than natural forest and are super dense. Getting more logging into the mix, or more wood mills is not necessarily a s

Agree with your points, though your premise is incorrect. Fire suppression started in the 30s [1] and became industrialized following WWII [1] https://foresthistory.org/research-explore/us-forest-service...

Be careful, for smoke you want a N99. A N95 will help, but don't be fooled that it is adequate protection.

Java by default allocates a healthy percentage of available RAM. It releases memory if a large percentage is unused, and it only runs full GC when a large percentage is used. The trick is therefore to decrease the initial max memory. Other
