Depends on the type of project. If your service is down, you can schedule some maintenance, fix whatever needs fixing and come back up after few hours.

But if your service is large enough, a maintenance window costs you money, reputation, customer satisfaction and makes you breach contracts and service level agreements... you may want to find ways to minimize maintenance downtime.

In that case you will want to make your code straightforward enough so mean time to detection and mean time to repair is low by emphasizing maintainability, namely, clean code with accompanying tests.

People downvote responses in discussions all the time its a standard part of HN. People downvoted my as well. I don't get upset or accuse people of doing it.

Nowhere have I refused to accept that people have valid praise for Walmart at all, nor have I begrudged them that.

What I have disagreed with are wildly exaggerated and patently untrue statements made about Mom and Pop stores such as "they all close at 5:00" and "They don't ever allow returns" and "they ever have any stock."

All of these things are wildly untrue. That's what I have disagreed with.

Every time one these absolute falsehoods is pointed out you move the goal posts, again saying things "The statement doesn't have to be true for all small businesses nationwide, just enough of them"

But again you seem more interested in arguing than engaging in a productive adult discussion.
> But shyness can also be, Moran argues, a great gift, its impulse toward introversion allowing for the inventive thinking and creative genius that might elude the more talkatively inclined.

Bullshit false dichotomy. Introversion has nothing to do with creativity. This is just a passive-aggressive jab towards healthy people that some introverts use to excuse not taking care of their depression.

There is currently some work being done for improving local storage usage in k8s. https://github.com/kubernetes/community/pull/306

Additionally k8s can be configured to restart pods on the same node so you can use the local node storage for persistence and rely on your DB for replication.

Short version:

Electricity generation (and use?) is below its 2007 levels. Is this a trend? Let's skip to the last paragraph (as one always should when beginning to read these clickbait articles):

"So is electricity use in the developed world fated to decline for years to come? Well, not exactly fated. Check out that bottom line in the last chart. Transportation now accounts for just 0.3 percent of retail electricity use in the U.S. If the shift to electric vehicles ever picks up real momentum, that's going to start growing, and fast. Dig more coal (or drill for more natural gas, or build more nuclear reactors, or put up more windmills and solar panels) -- the Teslas are coming."

So, no.

I think git bisect is one of the most useful tools that git gives you, and one that not many people use when they should. It's not every day one needs to bisect, but when you need to, it's very good to know about it.

One of my worries with git bisect and other tools, is that it's very easy to use them when the application is very quick to test the correctness of it, but veeery slow if for each commit you checkout you need to restart some process, clear some cache, deploy something, repopulate some other thing, and then you can check for correctness.
I guess the way to deal with that would be tests, but tests are not always the solution or even a possibility.
Machines have nowhere near the flexibility of humans, so obviously they're worse at tasks in environments designed for humans.

But were you optimize the Boeing manufacturing process for machines, the way car factories are optimized, you could utilize strengths of machines while sidestepping their limitations.

(Why this does not happen often is I believe a combination of robots having high initial costs, coupled with products starting as human-assembled prototypes, and companies just optimizing that process incrementally, instead of redesigning it around machines.)
Many times, in my career while negotiating something with another party I've said, "Let's get this fixed, it won't mean much to either of us in 50 years and in 100 nobody will remember either of us."

I've managed to solve some pretty hairy problems saying that, the other party usually pauses and realizes the futility of our disagreement and we work something out.

Call me morbid but I started saying that when I was 18 years old.

I also say, "I raise my kids for me to die". It shocks people when I say it but what parent wants to outlive their children? Honestly my goal is to teach them how to make good decisions and find what feeds their soul for their short stay in this world.

I’ve read many things over the years about the deep need for humans to somehow push death out beyond their consciousness because otherwise it would destroy them to think every day could be the end of them.

I don’t see it that way, I feel like I borrowed these atoms my body is assembled from and it’s my goal to use them to learn, love and enjoy the amazing reality we live in every day. Today could be my last, so what, at some point I must give my atoms back to the universe for whatever purpose they find in the future. Today they’re mine, and I’m happy to have them just a bit longer to discover a tiny bit more about our existence and the people around us all.
I'm sorry you feel that way, Orion.

I'm deeply skeptical that capitalism is a sensible long-term way to run our world. When everything can be made about money, everything is made about money. It doesn't matter how much we've taxed a corporation (especially in the recent environment of skyrocketing corporate profits), if the environment is ruined we're all in trouble.

Capitalism drives the conversion of everything into money, so it's no surprise to me when anything from votes to the air we breathe are turned into money.
Quite possible. I am not claiming ultimate truth.

But in my 43+ years of living, I've known enough of all of the above to come to think that the specific what of addiction matters less than the core pathology itself. The patterns are too similar across the board.

Once the canvas is no longer blank it becomes a lot harder to be that innovative.

That depends where you think the edge of the canvas is. If you're looking at ergonomic commodity computing with a GUI, the days of blankness are long gone.

But there are always completely blank areas elsewhere.

AI may not be one of them. I'd suggest it's more of a marginal area. It has plenty of potential, but it's also struggling against its history and existing beliefs.

What's missing now is the next wave of physical substrate technology. It won't be based on the the post-war wave of technology at all.

Shyness is estimated to be a 40%-60% heritable trait. If it was an inherent massive disadvantage that women abhorred as you seem to suggest, then shy men simply would swiftly cease to exist.

Yet they do exist, which suggests that actually it isn't some huge disadvantage, or that it has compensating advantages.

This is classic Black and White engineering advice, which shuns pragmatism because some idiot could come along and make a mess of the codebase. If someone is capable of displaying such bad judgement for such a trivial matter then they shouldn't be working on the code in the first place.

Take the Tensorflow codebase (and Google and Microsoft code, and linux in general). There are currently ~1,028 TODO's in Tensorflow, most of which refer to a particular engineer in the form TODO(<name>):<comment>. This is pragmatism and good judgement in action.

Software engineering is all kinds of shades of grey, competing considerations, trade-offs and balances. It's what makes it interesting.
Most Americans have fairly simple single income taxes. Also all banks and investment services have to report your assets and income to the IRS.

If your taxes are complicated enough to need an actual accountant (not a tax preparer) you'd still need an accountant. But the tax preparers that fill out forms for simple W2s and a couple 1099 forms would be out of business.
Why does uber not have a dog option?

Additionally, TypeScript's stated design goal is to not deviate from current or future EcmaScript [1]

You want more control over exactly what gets transpiled i.e. "I don't want to use ES.next, only ES6". Thats a valid point, but really far from your original assessment that there is a fundamental difference between the languages.

US companies do withhold money from each paycheck, but this varies not just by how much you make, but also by how many dependents you have and a few other things [0]. The US also has default deductions, or a person can choose to itemize. These vary if you are "head of household", single, married. However then there's all kinds of other deductions and things to complicate your tax return such as retirement accounts, mortgages, kids, side income, student loan interest, interest earned and on and on. Would be great if it was easier. :)

My way is simple - I occasionally grep the whole codebase for "TODO", "FIXME" and "HACK", and review the results, trying to either immediately fix them or turn into actionable items.

At my $dayjob I do Java, for which the IDE also lets me conveniently view the TODO/FIXME entries. I also have Sonar, which reminds me of them through low-importance warnings.
"Personally I don't think we can accept Capitalism and global markets to be more powerful than any individual nation"

Where to begin ... Well first of, capitalism and global markets are made by people.

Then there are very tiny individual nations, like Lichtenstein.

Why should they have more power than a voluntarily group(corporation) of much more people than that small state?!?

Or do you prefer statecorporations like in socialism?

Afaik, they polluted much more, produced less and with shitty work conditions.
Being shy myself I know there are positive articles about shyness or introversion in general. They are quite easy to find because there aren't many about them so they easily become fairly popular through HN and the like.

On the contrary implicit negativity about shyness is something I experience on a regular base and I'm rather getting wary of that. At work people take it as an excuse to not listen and only think about their own opinion. I mean many people don't listen no matter if you say something or not. (By the way, the book 'Just Listen' is a great read about that) So in the workplace it's very convenient to promote extroverted and openly aggressive people to management and let them manage 'shy people' who are not whining so much.

One thing I have realized is that it depends who you meet or work with whether they understand you or not. When something is wrong, some people see that in my face without me having to tell lengthy monologues. Also I don't get how an extroverted person is going to say that he or she is not getting any air. On the other hand since recently I'm seriously starting to wonder if extroverted people can ever do any programming tasks.

So do extroverted people have to stop talking if they want to become excellent programmers? Probably the answer is no but the way we work as developers would have to change.

> We have that [a employer withholding system] in Australia, and it definitely simplifies the process for workers at the end of the year.

We have that in America too, only it complicates our tax forms.

When filling out your Form 1040s, under "Payments" you fill field 64 "Federal income tax withheld from Forms W-2 and 1099" from your employer-provided W-2's field 2 "Federal income tax withheld" (ignoring fields 4 and 6, "Social security tax" and "Medicare tax" withheld.) And of course, any 1099-Rs with federal income tax withheld must also be attached to your tax return...

You can ask your employer to adjust your withholding - if you owe too much money (more than $1000 and more than 10% of your total yearly taxes?) come tax time, you'll have to pay an additional penalty. If you paid too much already, the government can wire it back to you, or apply it to next year's taxes.

> Personally, I've always liked the idea of a 'standard deduction'

We have this in America, it's great - mine was "only" $6300 this year (single, no dependents). On the other hand, there are deductions for everything from mortgages to electric vehicles (expiring after this tax year), which can add up quick. Fortunately I'm not there... yet...

I got lucky this year: Only 5-6 forms to mail.
Mid and high end laptops struggle just as much.

Do you have an i3 or better? If not, it's slow.

Maybe we should attack the memory wall problem first, since it promises a big acceleration in some areas, and it's not strictly related to limits of physics, like lithography ?

One way to do so is silicon photonics: it's possible to achieve 280 tbps bandwidth for 168W @ chip area of 4mm2 for 168W. Or you could triple that but you'll need ~1.5KW .

This of course will require better cooling, but DARPA has a project, using microfluidics channels, that can cool 1KW/cm2 and 30KW/cm2.

And as for power delivery - with TSV's you can deliver 150W/cm2.

And sure, such chips may be more expensive both in cost and power than today's are. But infinite memory bandwidth and photonics can make programmer's lives so much easier, and offer great acceleration in memory constrained problems, and make new architectures feasible(network computers with infinite bandwidth?). So maybe there's an initial market ?

And once we're there, and money starts flowing, maybe we'll see another type of "moore's law" focused on reducing the costs of cooling/photonics/power-delivery?

And BTW, some good news: ST(i think) is opening a photonics fab.

Welcome to the UK where the units don't matter.
The problem is not in how these issues are recorded, but whether they will be acted upon. It is all very well to say just fix them immediately, but we all know that will sometimes (often?) lead to issues simply not being noted. Putting the issues elsewhere is no guarantee that they will be acted upon, and any rule you make to try to get them addressed, such as fix before check-in, will again lead to them not being recorded in the first place. In fact, if you find TODOs in code to be an irritant, perhaps that is the best place for them!
Couldn't they make it so it starts beeping alarmingly before triggering? Giving you a few seconds to e.g. pull over, sit down, assume a fetal position, etc. Or would that cause sudden stress and make it worse?

I'm with you here.

> Using a physical notebook distances the workload from the code and hides the fact something is incomplete from others.

Exactly. In fact, I use both (except the notebook is an org-mode file, not a dead-tree book). TODOs / FIXMEs in code are for things very context-dependent and connected to code, for which it's important to see them in surrounding context. In more abstract cases, I just log a task in my notebook, to be done later.

Examples of both - code:

//TODO resourcify

(i.e. move to external string resources database later)

vs. notebook:

** TODO Refactor the refactor of the SomeClass class.

--

Also, often TODO / FIXME comments serve for me as anchors in some larger refactoring processes. I tend to label them specifically for easy grepping (e.g. with unique Unicode chars like ). The point is, refactoring process may take few days, during which I also may need to do some other tasks, so whenever there's a piece of code that needs to be redone but not right now, I tag it for later; I can then use grep/IDE search to check if I didn't miss anything.
I see thanks for the clarification.
