Agree that the functionality needs to be tested in-whole. But the delta in time is very large when the feature level tests have to be run on the monolith & they can be avoided when they are tested on the micro service.
Regardless of what you think of the original tweet, the response is ridiculous.
After reading the comments here I think I won't ever buy anything from Amazon.

I think I'm probably better off using Ebay. At least then I don't have the illusion that there is any kind of central control.

And at least so far Ebay's system has worked well, when goods haven't arrive within the specified date it has gone like this: they email me asking me to contact the seller, seller says give me more time, I say ok, extra time runs out, ebay refunds my money, goods arrive about ten days later. Of course I've never spent more than about USD50 at a time and I'm not looking for branded goods anyway.

I get the impression (confirmation bias probably) that the seller's reputation matters more on Ebay than on Amazon.

A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero"

The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week."

The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want."

Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."
I got that while trolling Rust developers a bit on this point, and had to concede-- it's a fair point.

I do think that rust doesn't (yet) have enough affordances for formal verification of algorithmic correctness-- but if you're not chasing memory safety you have more time to deal with other issues.

The "Years of coding experience" statistics are interesting in a number of ways IMHO. Is there an interpretation why it doesn't go down linearly, but has up and down micro-cycles? Is the bump at "more than 20 years" of coding experience just an artifact of not assessing answers with over 20 years of experience at finer granularity?
As a fellow layman I disagree with your anecdotal definition. I definitely consider this excess production to be counterfeit.

The potentially huge implication of this is the marginalising of existing payment processors. In theory it may be possible for merchants to directly get a payment from your bank by a mechanism a bit like OAuth.

The underlying objective is the creation of a smooth and level market for payment services such that competition between European financial services companies increases, rather that being limited to banks which tend to be restricted to the country.

Indeed, and the EBA is based (for the moment at least!) in London.
Sure.

There are many ways to leverage your Web knowledge, you don't have to start from zero.

But it's still a chore to do mobile development.

I want to build a iOS app, because 80% of the potential customers are iPhone users, but in the future I want to use as much of the code on Android. So its Hybrid or React-Native.

So I thought, well Expo sounds nice, and gives me a Web like dev experience without the need to set up a Mac OS system.

Then I checked if they support AirPlay and HealthKit and the answer was "detach".

So now I'm back to "regular" React-Native and have to setup a Mac to get started.

Well, at least it seems running a dev VM for Mac OS isn't big of a deal anymore :\
"And let me tell you: of all the surprises I’ve had over the past week or so, most surprising of all has been the FBI. They responded immediately, with follow-up phone calls and emails, an in-person interview with two special agents at my own home within 24 hours, and a follow-up visit from two agents yesterday. Beyond that, each and every agent I have interacted with over the past week has been, without fail, compassionate, thoughtful, invested, respectful, and committed to action…in addition to treating me not like a case number, but like a human."

It's worth noting how we only ever hear about when these entities are up to no good; I wish it were not 'surprising' when we find the gov. is doing great job, I'd hope that this is usually the case.
1Password, and it's been awesome. If you use the non-hosted version you control the whole thing. LAN only sync, or Dropbox, Rsync, however you want to sync it if it matters. Otherwise they've got a hosted version which can also give you web access in a pinch and handle all the syncing for you. I have been with them for long enough that my only option was a non-hosted version and I keep in sync with Dropbox and it works wonderfully.

The Mac client is very nice to use. The Windows client works well but isn't as nice looking. The browser extension is awesome- AND you can put MFA keys in there as well.

EDIT: And I forgot to mention the main reason I chose 1Password so long ago. Their iOS app is awesome and their mobile Safari integration works quite well.

Plus, why would we install a bash script as sudo ?
I agree with your general sentiment, but their response does sound a bit weird. It would have been fine with me if they had said "oh it's just by chance, plus most of us knew eachother from before we started". Saying "we have no female roles" and "oh we get paid less so we're all women" (wtf?) isn't handling the situation well.
They have almost no staff, what is more, even if they have 10000 male staff only, that is up to them. If you don't like it, start your own company and concentrate on your own business filling your own sense of political correctness.
After seeing URL string parsing in application code I would have expected to see at least some sort of discussion about third-party web frameworks.

It is interesting to me that this feature has evoked such passion and feeling. To me it is a few extra characters and easily managed at the top of a file. It generally will take at least one line of code to import some other package or library. It isn't as terse as say C or C++ nor is it as flexible as Python's import system. Of all the things that bother me about a particular language, this just never bubbled to the surface for me.

(Vendoring and package management are different issues)
The article points out that there is room for many different models of building companies. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. It's true, the VC lure of dollars and fame is one that gets pushed by many; as such, this type of counterpoint is useful to see and hear, and likely required reading for those wishing to create something on their own. One should at least consider whether building the thing of your dreams on your own is possible.

You've already gotten some good answers while I was finishing my coffee, but here goes anyway.

The only time I miss a mouse is when I want to fire up a game that actually runs on my Mac (Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, etc.). I'd say the main reason I don't miss a mouse in vim is because I don't use a mouse anywhere else on my Mac. On a fresh format I create 4 desktops, and I bind CMD+1-4 to switch between these. Whenever I want to launch chrome/term/mail/whatever I use CMD+space and launch it directly from Spotlight. I use Magnet (http://magnet.crowdcafe.com - no affiliation, just a fan) to maximize/minimize/layout windows without having to use the _remarkably awful_ Mac window management UI.

While within vim I don't miss a scroll-wheel because bouncing around with / and ? is just so, so, so much faster. I really cannot stress enough how slow it now feels to scroll up and down a file searching for a specific string when I'm forced to do so. It's maddening for me now.

Your question re: a project panel, etc, is probably the best one. I think I may be an outlier here. I don't use NERDtree, but a lot (most, in fact) of my friends who use vim do. There are really two use cases for opening a file - direct from the term or in concert with an already open file. I typically know the structure of a project so I can just cd around or vim right/to/the/file.js If I'm already editing something I'll usually just :vsp to/the/other/file.erb or if I'm really lost as to where I am or where I'm trying to go I'll just CTRL+Z back to the term, cd & ag around until I find myself, fg back to vim, then :vsp to/where/I/now/know/Im/going.scss

I suspect if I actually spent the time to learn NERDtree I may be able to get around unknown projects better, but I've always felt pretty good about my workflow so I've just never committed to it.
Bostrom himself isn't committed to simulation. His actual argument is that either we're almost certainly living in a simulation or the stated assumptions are wrong.

Moreover, there's a difference between "the universe is a simulation" in the sense used in the article and "my conscious experiences are a simulation." The latter is unconstrained by "number of qubits in the universe." The apparent complexity of this universe you think you're inhabiting isn't real, and neither is Scott Aaronson.
Sanctus want to be the Nike of mental health
My nan was the one constant in my life growing up and always loved me unconditionally even if she had a somewhat flexible approach to use by dates, there was always a sandwich and a hug.

Losing her was the hardest thing that ever happened to me but I got through it, she'd known the end was coming and had written letters to each of her children and grandchildren, mine still chokes me up but I read it occasionally.

I've spent a decade trying to be the man my nan described in that letter, funny really she made me a better happier person in life and in death.

If anyone has kids or grandkids I'd recommend writing similar letters.

Don't dread the end, enjoy the time you have, death comes for everything so worrying about an inevitability will sour the time you have.
Would answering the question of whether we're in a simulation have any impact on your behavior, thoughts, and actions? Probably not. So what does it matter?

If we could prove (or even make a strong, but unverifiable argument) for or against the claim that we live in a simulation, then that would have a real-world effect.

A concrete example: if we knew we lived in a simulation, and therefore knew that the simulation of an entire universe were possible, we'd probably expend resources on research and engineering efforts to create such a simulation.

The myth of the pristine Amazon rainforest
From here in Norway we just look across the North Sea to see the same foolishness in the UK. The UK just wasted the North Sea oil, none of it was invested for the future. Of course the UK has 15 times the population of Norway so an oil fund would not have the same impact on the population but it would surely have helped a lot to cushion the country against the bad times. But I think the Norwegian experience is hard to export; solidarity and a social conscience are much more popular here than in many other countries. Large numbers of people here, including politicians, really do believe that "We are all in it together".

No, it's not paradise, but with continued vigilance it can go a long way towards it.

> there shouldn't be politics in science

Politics is unavoidable in science. There was never an era in which the two weren't combined from phrenology to modern-day examples like global warming which you mentioned. To expect science to be free from outside influence is overly idealistic. Science needs funding. That fact alone makes it inseparable.

I think there is a big enough space between GPU and ASIC technology for FPGAs. The main reason is the lifetime of the models. The shorter that lifespan, the more expensive it is to exchange the ASICs. At the very least you have to produce new ASICs every few months, and replace them in special sockets, or even reflow/solder them to new cards.

I hardly believe that this is economical.
