Can you elaborate a little more on your setup? That sounds interesting.

Sure, burnout is a real thing. Do lots of other things. Wait for an idea to find you. It should be just for you. It's not for money. Or ego. Ignore the devil on your shoulder that says it won't work, that it won't make money,

CORBA usually evolved into a very service / data oriented approach moving type value pairs around. Really only example problems were OO. At least that's how it worked on the number CORBA projects I was on.

Contracts are basically unit tests for whatever size of unit you're testing. How do you capture all the dynamic behaviors of a system without some sort of end-to-end test? Delayed timers, queues fill, missed interrupts, locks are held

Because everyone has tabs set differently, so code always looks wrong, even if you use the same editor. A space is a space is a space.

In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNgzxQmM3AU Dr. Daniel Griffin talks about the data not being in yet either way. But the studies are underway.

The internet gets along quite fine without DNS. Packets route from network to network. DNS is an application-layer protocol. People often confuse the web with the internet. We use phone numbers for phone calls. It's conceivable with IP

You can still hardcode IP addresses. Not sure most people realize DNS isn't actually needed, you know, except for convenience and all that.

This is just depreciation. It's an accounting thing, not a tax thing. Everyone gets depreciation. Any dollar you spend to make money you usually get to deduct. Propublica seems to hate depreciation. These articles are hard to read some

Metformin does have some long term issues. After 10 years it can cause serious lower back pain. Not in everyone, but it's something to be aware of.

If you read the article, they are calculating a fictitious thing they call the “true tax rate”. This is the tax paid compared to the growth in assets. That is not an income tax. It’s a wealth tax. It feels like conflating the debt and the d

The @MainActor is nice. It was always bewildering to me that we still had put UI operations on the main thread by hand. I still don't get why we need @MainActor. The compiler should do some sort of flow analysis and do the right thing.

The usual approach when management is this dim is to give a well couched opinion as to the reality of the outcome and then say sir yes sir or mam yes mam and that you'll give it all you got captain. The bug will take however long it ta

Nicely explained. I like the idle operators/row dichotomy. At a system level push based systems suffer from the same weakness as event driven systems: incompleteness. You can never be sure you haven't missed an event because it wa

No mention of the nutritional value. Which is my concern with Beyond Meat as well. It's great that it's not meat from factory farming POV, but it's not nutritious food either.

That does get to an issue I was wondering about: how long does it remember and does it associate each ping with a geo tag? We live the mountains with poor coverage and a dog who at one time was a wizard at escaping and getting lost. Yet we

Unfortunately Whistle doesn't work in areas with poor coverage. And then there's the battery issues. A tag would at least be a good redundancy solution.

Which in the US means waiting for Medicare. Doesn't it? For most Americans there is no part of retirement and growing old that doesn't revolve around access to Medicare.

In fact, pay to play has been the requirement for some time now. Organic discovery is long gone. It also effectively lowers net book margins. Got me to thinking that I'd like a way to signal Google that my intent is either info or buy.

I guess I don't think of an ORM as abstraction, it's more of a complication. The abstraction would be something like: class User { static get(id) { embed your SQL here } }

by toddh 6y ago
I'm curious what other people think when they take over your code? We all have a bias to think our way is simple and obvious, yet it rarely works that way in practice. Abstractions are a way of trying to find a common ground conceptual

by toddh 6y ago
Once you have actors it helps to have a priority mechanism, latency guarantees, a scheduling abstraction so work can be partitioned, some sort of boost mechanism to prevent starvation, a timer abstraction, and a state machine abstraction to
