Don't worry, eventually the web development will be figured out and it retrospect we'll look like cavemen rubbing two sticks together.

Ease of deployment does not preclude ease of development.

It's hard being an old programmer as some technologies that you used in the past, that were more productive than certain technologies today, are no longer popular. Creating client side apps in the 90s was arguably easier than creating

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. Hope you feel better! Some notes from my own experience: Anxiety meds themselves can cause shortness of breath. Withdrawal from anxiety meds can cause further anxiety. Benadryl to treat post nasal

The choice is there - check this box to opt out of organ donation on your drivers license renewal form.

They can at least enumerate potential solutions instead of describing a problem and nothing else.

You created a straw man by saying opting out is burdensome and then attacked the fictional scenario you yourself created. Anyways with an opt out system the market for 'sold' organs would probably be non-existent.

Not one mention in the article about changing the organ donation system to be opt-out. That is such a wasted opportunity given the huge reach of NPR.

I think there's something people miss when looking at PHP as a system - the fact that it's a collection of hot swappable logic modules (pages) PHP pages themselves can download packages of additional PHP pages and extend functiona

I've seen engineering orgs cut in half and become a lot stronger as a result. Fat is trimmed across the stack. Processes are automated. Runbooks and documentation is written. Applications are 'operationalized' to be easily m

It's not that complicated. It's a country of 23 million people vs a country with 1,393 million people.

Numbers are relative? Compared to the management overhead of all the taxi companies in the world it is orders of magnitude smaller. And after today it is 800 people smaller on top of that. So yes, very small, very efficient.

You need to put 2 and 2 together. The fact that we know it's a 'flash point for World War 3' is exactly why it would not be defended ;)

Not sure if you realize that 'Operation Enduring Freedom' is regarded to as a joke. A '40 country coalition' to invade two countries with no means of protecting themselves. It was like stepping on an anthill. I can'

No one is having a nuclear war over Taiwan. It's important, but not that important. If China invaded Taiwan, the US would not defend it. Super powers don't go to war. They have wars through proxy countries. If super powers did go

I know it's in Taiwan, and if this escalates, the supply chain will get cut. When it comes to 'invasion', there's no chance of defending Taiwan unfortunately. No one has the stomach for that. It's easily one step aw

Can we get the TSMC fab built in America first before stirring things up?

It's the opposite. People are so busy that they can't spend 10 minutes to get food. Also the fact that they can afford the premiums in the first place implies that they're not lazy ;)

It works great. All those management middle men of thousands of delivery and taxi companies have been replaced with software. Razor thin margins are enough to keep the servers running and a small team of developers managing it - for the ent

More foreign dependence makes you more vulnerable in a war, and definitely doesn't prevent war. It makes you an easier target. Also what you see as peaceful, others see as a stalemate unfortunately. Hopefully it lasts.

The Oculus Quest has proven to be incredibly successful. Magic Leap has had more than enough time to develop something comparable. Instead billions of dollars have been poured in only to result in fancy tech demos. Waymo is 100% at the same

The question was rhetorical. It was supposed to help you realize that the way something is created doesn't give the final object any special properties.

What is artificial about artificial intelligence? Just the fact that we built it, instead of giving birth to it? Atoms and electricity are all pretty real to me. In terms of consciousness, we need to know what it is first before we can dete

And this is why we have a problem. We have the power to slow the spread, but culturally masks are unacceptable. So unfortunate.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. The point is to slow the spread, flatten the curve. Eliminating it is not an option. Shutting down all travel 100% is not an option. Mandating everyone in airports, on planes, etc.. must be wearing a mask i

Perfect is the enemy of the good, that's why people are obsessed with surgical masks and n95 masks. Simple homemade masks are good enough. Plus they prevent people from touching their own faces.

by trixie_ 7y ago
Like I said, the mask doesnt need to be perfect. A cut up tshirt, bedsheet, or scarf is fine. The point it to keep people from touching their faces and to serve as a barrier for a majority of the large particles exiting your mouth when you

Like I said, they should of said don't buy a mask - use a tshirt or scarf. You can't get on plane or go into a store without covering your face. Perfect is the enemy of the good.

If it's raining you bring an umbrella, if it's hot you wear shorts, if there's a pandemic you wear a mask - everywhere all the time. They shouldn't of let people on airplanes, buses, buildings, etc.. without a mask. Don&
