Sorry, to clarify, wealth-seeking in mainstream culture looks cyclical to me. I was replying to a comment that said that "money won". I agree that there's a general decline in criminality (which is good) and general risk-taki

It looks cyclical to me. The materialism of the postwar era led into the civil rights movement of the late 60s and 70s, which turned into the materialistic 80s, which was rejected by the countercultural late 90s and 2000s, after which there

I disagree. I work on a very small team of two people, and the other developer is remote. We nearly always review PRs (excluding outage mitigation), sometimes follow them up via chat, and occasionally jump on a call or go over them during t

I would have assumed it would be relevant to supply chains. I too do not understand its relevance to consumption. It seems like you could substantially increase your material footprint by digging two holes and swapping the soil, which is a

The kids near me (in Melbourne, about 10km outside the CBD) just take the same public transport system as everyone else. You don't see school bus systems unless you're in the far outer suburbs, a regional/rural area, or maybe

I'm less saying "it definitely isn't" and more trying to show the complexity of understanding this and the paucity of evidence. Is long-term stress different from a one-off traumatic incident? How much stress does trauma

You need to separate physical trauma from psychological trauma. There's no debate that getting hit in the head or having explosives go off nearby can cause physical brain damage. That's empirically proven (at least in animal model

In the past I've used batches of data, inserted into a separate table with all the constraints turned off and using UNNEST, and then inserted into the final table once it was done. We ended up both batching the data and using UNNEST be

As it says, bulk inserts with large datasets can fail. Inserting a few thousand rows into a table with 30 columns will hit the limit. You might run into this if you were synchronising data between systems or running big batch jobs. Sqlite u

The only downside I've found to magit is that the UI refresh can be slow with very large commits: when you're adding a thousand generated files, doing a big find/replace, etc. In the shell you'd just be running `git stat

The problem with Heroku's pricing is that it's set high enough that I no longer use it and neither does anyone else I know. I suspect they either pivoted to a different target market than me, which would be inconvenient but I&#x27

If I had to load a boat onto my roof rack and drive to the nearest river at 5am every time I wanted to exercise, I'd do it once a week at the absolute maximum. I don't think it's a reasonable way to exercise for most people.

In this case, the joke is that someone with a dairy allergy could somehow buy and eat ice- cream without knowing it contained dairy. It's just a completely ridiculous thing to check. Like warning that the boiled peanuts contain peanut

Ideally we'll get past the idea that being smart makes someone worth listening to, even in the absence of any special knowledge, wisdom, virtue, or insight. Not to say that I think Peter Thiel has always lacked insight, just that his v

Apart from anything else, the Song of Solomon (which I actually like!) or Ezekiel 23:20 would probably trigger some kind of automated detection system. Not to mention the legitimately horrible parts like Deuteronomy 22:23.

It's a diplomatic bellwether. It doesn't matter in itself, but it's an interesting indicator of who is the most friendly nation. Note that Singapore leads the list; consider what you know about their foreign policy approach.

DRM is an issue on Linux. Consider the recent BF6 release. You can avoid titles with DRM, of course, but then you'll inconvenience your friends who do use Windows, or be unable to join them.

I was responding to CaptainOfColt, who was writing about premature optimisation killing companies. The article's proposed architecture seems fine and is similar to things I've done, but it's not an excuse to completely avoi

The architecture in TFA is fine, and sounds preferable to microservices for most use cases. I am worried by the talk of 10k daily users and a peak of 1000TPS being too much premature optimisation. Those numbers are quite low. You should kno

Of course you should be fired for doing that! I meant the example as an illustration of how "you don't need to scale" thinking turns into A-grade bullshit. You do, in fact, need to scale to trivial numbers of users. You may e

I've seen senior engineers get fired and the business suffer a setback because they didn't have any way to scale beyond a single low spec VPS from a budget provider, and their system crashed when a hall full of students tried to s

AI art mostly doesn't make use of the medium. There are things you can do with computer vision and user interaction that just aren't possible with traditional media. I remember the game PlaneShift, which has an interesting not-for

Do you have any advice for entering group 2? I graduated university expecting to at least see jobs that needed those skills at least some of the time, but the hardest problem I've worked on was a variant of the knapsack problem and i

The article is slightly wrong. The TDZ is the zone before the variable is declared, not after. Referencing variables before they're declared isn't valid for `let` and hence it needs a TDZ check. Consider console.log(foo)

This reminds me of the Heinz Dilemma [0]. Ideally you want neither person A's rigid social/legal conformity in the face of death, not person B's vague wishy-washy convictions that change each time, but some higher set of idea
