Yeah I tried these health trackers for a while, but I got super irritated by having to plan around them. It's objectively not a big deal, but last time my Garmin died I just put it down and never picked it up again. Been living with a

A lot of people view tech as magic and are wow'd by it. But many people that work in tech, based on their experience working with it, view it more as an eldritch horror. There's something comforting about a mechanical watch that p

Hey, if you want me to be an AI's manager, I can only give you a manager's level of certainty that a task is done well :) if I could fire the AI that created the bug I would, the best I can do is Ctrl+c. But either way, by the tim

My coworkers and I have an informal agreement to let a few production issues show up until leadership changes their toon.

These are for high stakes business, and even those are based on a lot of trust. If you commit a minor crime, where the cost of settling things is lower than what you'll get, it's easy to get away with it. It requires a great deal

It's worse than that. Elon is a notoriously bad employer, and the only people that put up with him were the people that shared his vision. Pretty much the only people that will work for him now are second rate researchers and people th

Being able to reverse a binary tree isn't something you need to memorize. If you can't do that it tells me that you're not fluent in your chosen programming language.

TBH I'm like that, but how hard could writing a React component be? I'm not even a React programmer but I can probably write working code on a whiteboard.

We're now reaching the point where people have gone their whole college education on AI, and I've noticed a huge rise in the number of engineers that struggle to write basic stuff by hand. I had someone tell me they forgot how to

It's not wasted. Society can pay for the talent it wants, and they don't want to pay for this. Instead this talent helps to grow the overall wealth on in the world, letting us pay for the stuff we want.

If the U.S decides to not work with, or allow its citizens to work with a company, that should be up to them.

Everything besides the takedown window seems reasonable. Strict compliance will be pretty much impossible. This could have a number of consequences. Perhaps India is looking to cut off outside social media and promote local talent like Chin

Besides the points raised here, I think it's worth noting that using stuff like the article tag does not necessarily make things easier to maintain. You do indeed get a lower line count, but you're coupling the structure and meani

That's why I said setting the right attributes. You can make a fully featured accessible website using only divs.

I tend to think that if you're having issues with repeating yourself with stuff like tailwind you probably need to refactor your JSX/templates to share the repeated code. Keeping stuff like CSS isolated is a deliberate choice that

Tbh there's nothing really wrong with that. You don't need stuff like article or section if you set the right attributes. Often easier to just use divs to get the structure right, and figure out the meaning later.

Yeah, but why do something difficult when you could do something easy? Going on a 300 cal deficit a day, you have 2100 calories a week. A couple bad days could easily throw off all your progress, and you might not even know what messed you

I agree that it's a range, and that's precisely why it's hard to get right. If I go for a day trip on the weekend with my wife I might burn 1000 extra calories walking. If I have a mystery coffee at my friend's house I h

I like to experiment with a variety of diets / deficits. On some of the more extreme ones like week long water fasting, or Lyle McDonald's rapid fat loss diet, you absolutely need to consume electrolytes because you're not go

This is just my own observations, but I find that when cutting calories I need to really optimize the rest of my life to avoid crashing in energy. Sleeping well, no alcohol, plenty of caffeine, lots of water and electrolytes, and time my ca

There is indeed a lot of really good free news, but you just know the free content consumers are getting their news from schizophrenic conspiracy theorists on social media. Basically, people need to evaluate news as a utility, not a service

Ideally yes, but there's plenty of cases where that's not desirable or possible. For example, most people would agree you should use exhaustive checks when possible(matching in rust, records in typescript, etc.). But how do you en

You should have a style guide, or adopt one. Having uniform code is incredibly valuable as it greatly reduces the cognitive load of reading it. Same reason that Go's verbose "err != nil" works so well.

It depends heavily on the scope and type of problem. If you're putting together a standard isolated TypeScript app from scratch it can do wonders, but many large systems are spread between multiple services, use abstractions unique to

Most companies don't have QA anymore, just their CI/CD's automated tests.

As a heart surgeon with a phobia of sharp things I've found spoons to be great for surgery. If you find it unproductive it's probably a skill issue on your part.

Not all tools are right for all jobs. My spoon struggles to perform open heart surgery.

It signals a degree of investment from the other side if they're willing to burn their own time talking to you. I can understand a small screening process to filter candidates, but I'm not going to do your silly dance for multiple
