>But it's a deliberate decision from the start where it makes sense to use it for that purpose. Exactly that! There is a time and a place for performant code but it's not the only metric we need to take into consideration. Some

How replaceable is that person? If they are a normal business admin they are very replaceable. So you don't have to make life easy for them unless they can justify the cost of doing so. How busy are they? If you have a 1 EFT position f

> Cost is a business problem. It is a constraint I 100% agree. What I'm trying to get across is that you have to identify the cost to justify the performance tuning. If the cost of the tuning is greater than the cost incurred by not

In this case you have massive scale so a small amount of developer time can equate to a big reduction in CPU cycles. Those are the constraints you work with. Those are the business problems you are solving. So yes this was justified. It was

>It simply cannot be the case that we're willing to give up a decade or more of hardware performance just to make programmers’ lives a little bit easier. Our job is to write programs that run well on the hardware that we are given.

But how much does that matter? If you're scaling to 1000s of users then yes. If you have a GUI for a monthly task that two administrators use, then no. The less something gets used the longer the payback time on the initial development

I think the difference between dumbbell and barbell is just preference often based on the time you've put into each. My dumbbell press is pathetic due to a lack of training. I think lifting for the looks is part of it. I've also r

It really depends on what you mean by huge. But I have to emphatically disagree with your statement. It is simply not humanly possible to get as big as a modern body builder without steroids. They are not just a shortcut they allow people t

Yeah they're a good example of the upper end of what you can achieve as a natural lifter. Today's steroid fueled gym buffs trick young guys into thinking they can get huge by natural means. That is simply not true for 99.999% of t

Bench is much less effort than other exercises and it produces quick results. Most guys hate leg days. The effort is extreme, chest day is the easy day.

It was only a reference to the impact the war in Ukraine has had on fuel prices. It didn't get into any of the politics.

I've never used a dating app. I knew my wife for years before I asked her out. I can't imagine dating strangers from an app. What do you talk about? How do you get to know someone, one on one in a romantic context? Maybe I'm

My main gripe with the US it the abuse of the word football. The ball is no longer a ball shape and you no longer move it around with your feet.

I think the squashing of politics here is one of the reasons the comments remain civil and interesting. Too many (me included) get off topic and start flam wars. I don't think there is a political bias here. It's one of the few pl

There must be some sort of arbitration in the terms. They must be able to apply for that. We've used Upwork to find contractors in the past. I will strongly recommend avoiding Upwork to my managers.

It sounds like you want to learn and get a deep understanding of topics. I find books are much better than online articles. The incentives are different. Click based revenues tend to drive towards interesting things to click on that are eas

I pretend to do as they ask but purposely stuff up the instructions until they get frustrated. It's amusing how many creative insults they have. Most are directed at my mother for some reason.

Battery and ram hogs. My work laptop is often at full ram usage (16mb) with the fans spinning at full speed. I used to code in vim and sublime text. The change in system load is shocking. I like Rider and will continue to use it but it&#x27

It will be interesting to see what happens as a result of the flooding. I imagine New Zealand's economy is going to take an extra hit with that.
