Whatever happened to "wrong"? As in, "that's wrong". Ideally followed by some reasoning. All of these fancier words like whataboutism or misinformation are just attempts to assert authority via the word. They don

You didn't engage with the other person's point at all, you just called it "malinformation". Looking forward to the spread of this one. I'm expecting it to triple "whataboutism".

He came in years before the first car was shipped and, like, 15? years before they got to sustained profitability with their third-gen cars. I'm not trying to dickride the guy, obviously a lot of people contributed, but this literally

Social norms are inherently non-scientific in their motivation. It's an accurate observation to say that higher-income liberals tend to think this way and enforce these norms but the norms themselves are in the realm of culture and pol

My beef is with taking a particular set of social norms and calling it "settled science", then going a step further and banning alternate views. I'm not even saying I have a problem with those norms, I like everyone, I just t

I am all about being nice to people who live their lives however, but the idea of "gender" as a fluid philosophical concept distinct from sex is super squishy. It's massively overstating things to call it "settled scienc

Matter of opinion. I wouldn't deliberately misgender someone just to be a jerk, but the idea suite you're referencing was a niche viewpoint 7 years ago or so. It's kind of incredible to go from there to "this is a settle

Even then, there's about 200 workdays in the year. There are probably scenarios where I'd rather have 2 days of Carmack than a year of a newbie, but they are rare and specialized.

If there's a liability issue, and they can't fire, then this sounds like the only choice?

It's deeply American to call Russia "collectivist". It's more similar to 1800s America, economically, than it is to the USSR. Oligarchs owning resource extraction for sale into capital markets. Generally when people sa

Do you have any cites for this claim? Honest ask, it sounds very "california" but CA is also an expensive state in general.

To be fair, (to be fairrrr), that was actually mainstream rather than edgelord in 2002. It was completely normal for straight bro friends to call each other the word as a gag even if they'd be horrified at using it as a slur against a

Customer impact, business impact, some other subjective or objective measure. The point is that there's a thing you're trying to accomplish with a project and the engineering techniques should be a means to an end rather than an e

by woooooo 4y ago
Google rewards engineering work in a vacuum, divorced from customer impact. This can lead to bad engineering incentives like valuing system complexity over the actual problem you're trying to solve.

Correct, a Belgian isp would have vastly fewer reasons to comply with polite requests from CIA/NSA than a US-based FAANG.

For what it's worth, non-american citizens on non-american soil have no legal protection against the same. And big ad monopolies are not in the business of pissing off the security state.

FYI for you and other readers, sales is actually hard. Low barrier to entry followed by brutal survival of the fittest. Don't meet your quota? Fuck you, you're fired. People who survive for decades of that aren't trivially

Who do you mean by management, here? The superintendent, the school board, the city council or the voters?

That's actually way more relatable and human than being compelled to squeeze additional percentage out of an ads machine, imo.

How does that work if anyone actually reads the publications? They'll have the journal name and probably current institution of the authors, right? Am I being naive with the question? Is reading the publications unusual?

Hence my 2 decade losing battle against ORM at every place I've worked :) I'm, like, 1 for 10 maybe.
743.
by woooooo 4y ago
Yeah, but you have to go out of your way to do that. If you're in touch with the SQL you're executing at all, the join is the obvious easy way to do it, it's not some arcane optimization.
744.
by woooooo 4y ago
Isn't "n + 1" typically a degenerate case of ORM rather than a relational thing? The whole point of rdbms is you can do a join instead of iterated lookups.

I was more on the "what has Oberlin learned" part of it.

Maybe we could hold Oberlin to a higher standard than Alex Jones? If their goal is to make a total joke of the movements they support, they're doing a bang-up job. If their goal us anything else, maybe they should try and learn someth
