My wife is one of seven. Her five older brothers nearly scared her off of ever wanting a son. Our kids are not like her siblings' nor their kids. You might have an idea that there is no mystery. You've only seen a glimpse yet, eve

If something is bananas, it is silly/crazy. If something is banana cakes, I don't know. Banana pancakes are specifically pancakes and are delicious.

2 months simply isn't enough time for evolving system needs. You don't get to know if your code is maintainable until the use cases have expanded and usually other devs will come on board, and what guarantee is there that they wil

This led me down some research papers. Thanks! It looks like you are more right. Without environmental moisture to capture, the trees are effectively straws depleting ground water and losing it to evaporation. The Yucatan has enough moistur

Not who you replied to. "They should" isn't a solution. "Here is proposed legislation," "I started a petition," "i spoke with my congressman," "vote for Pedro." These are concrete. &quo

More trees leads to more water; look into micro climates. Even in deserts! See China's Green Wall.

This is my first exposure to this saying. I immediately thought of Jim Crow laws and thought it a useful way to look at systems. What is a better term for these wolf in sheep's clothing systems? I think the framing of achieved results

You will never be the insider. That's a privileged position. "We all" can't take advantage of it. Insiders trading laws are there so "we all" have a chance in the markets.

That is absolutely not true. Your brother in law gives you insider information and you use it, you go to prison. You have no fiduciary duty, but you still had insider information. I have seen this happen in real life.

A core tenant of many-o-religions is faith, and if "the world" has counter-factuals, those are tests against that faith. Tossing away elements and breaking faith likely ends in exclusion from the group. And that is too much for ma

All coffee tastes like cigarette ash to me. Similarly, I have been to places that people rave about. My buddy used to run a coffee shop. "Your beans were overcooked"; no, not it. There is something innate to espresso or something.

"Claud said" is a hedge. It is abdication of responsibility. That said, a meat-proxied answer should come with more credibility based on the proxy. I'd put more weight into my developer proxying system information than my sal

> The error boilerplate as it exists interrupts the actual logic and makes most of your code read as sad paths that might never execute. Yes! You have to think through and account for edge cases. "Might not" is the same as &quo

It would be premature to jump to 1930s style defenestration due to job loss from ai. Software developers have always been in the job of automation and replacing human work. Capitalism means investors reap (the majority of) the benefit.
