Some more info: The site is made in Jekyll and the quotes are loaded in the page using Javascript to get the random quote. I like to read and write down quotes, so a lot of quotes came from that source, the other good source is goodreads.

It's a manual process but I make sure that the quote is really good. In the case of stoicism I have a personal collection of maxims from different sources like Meditations (Marcus Aurelius), Letters from a stoic(Seneca) , Enchiridion(Epictetus - my favourite author).

If you go to arandomquote.com/stoic you will get only stoicism quotes, or you can go to arandomquote.com/business to get just business quotes.

Today I will add around 100 quotes from 25 books, like Rework, Deep Work, E-myth, Show your work, Art of War, Meditations, The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking, Man's Search for Meaning , etc
FTA, not really related to doughnuts: "Susan Lim was 12 when her parents, three brothers and one sister fled the Khmer Rouge in 1979 for the U.S. The family was taken in by Ngoy, Lim’s uncle, who lived in a five-bedroom house in La Habra. When Lim arrived at her uncle’s house, it was the first time she had ever seen a refrigerator. “I thought it was a mansion,” said Lim, 49. “We were so happy just to see food on the table every day and not having to worry anymore if they will come to kill us today or tomorrow.”"

A sobering anecdote to remember when most of us are having a First-World-Bad-Day.

I found it oftentimes easier to say no without saying reason. The issue for me was that when I state reason, people wanted to negotiate, attempted to "advise" me on how organize my time better and so on and so forth. Overtime (at least against many people) I found it much less draining to simply insist on politely stated no without further explanation.

Services interfaces are among the least maintainable kind of interface we have on IT, and REST services are at the less maintainable end of that.

When you add that network communication, you remove coherent type enforcement, timing restrictions, availability guarantees, causality guarantees, unicity guarantees, and likely more stuff that are just not on my mind right now. Those are all characteristics of the information flow.
You also forgot “sorry for the ..., but ...”, “I’m getting sick of ...”, “oft-repeated”, “we can do better”, and “and I forgot one ...”.

Language is built out of little phrases which come to be associated with an understood meaning and tone, and are treated atomically (sometimes the individual words within the phrases go out of currency and are never used alone). We all use these little atoms as shortcuts all the time, because inventing a completely new phrase to represent every thought would be less efficient. Sometimes the phrases were originally technical terms (for instance, many come from sailing or driving carriages or manual farm labor or ancient styles of combat ...) which have been stripped of their original context; other times they come from literature, like the “shocked, shocked” example, or hundreds of examples from Shakespeare plays.

Any libertarian who takes Econ 101 will find their beliefs challenged tremendously, and not just by the "simple models" you're talking about. To be perfectly blunt, it sounds like you're trying to criticize something that you have an preconceived notion of, but no direct experience with, which is exactly why I was recommending you read Mankiw in the first place. I think you'll be surprised with the amount of time he spends on things like case studies of market failures or why the federal reserve system is a good idea.

As to your link, Noah (whom I respect tremendously) does make a good point, but I think he overstates his case; true, simple supply-demand models don't work in every case (and the minimum wage is a good example of that, although I would counter that most of the non econ101 parts are somewhat short term and restricted to small increases) but for the vast, vast majority of cases people encounter in real life they work surprisingly well. Additionally, supply and demand is only a part of econ 101: Why can't I get tickets to Hamilton without paying a lot? Why do some restaurants charge more for dinner? If we put a tariff on Mexico, who pays? What are the pros and cons of free trade? What does deadweight loss mean? What does the federal reserve do and how does it affect me? What's the relationship between the money supply and inflation? What are the arguments for targeting non zero inflation? Why did we leave the gold standard? Is government debt bad? How is GDP measured? Why does the exchange rate change? Why doesn't the employment rate go to zero? What does the employment rate even mean? How do taxes affect the economy? Do different taxes have different effects? What are the arguments for and against using tax policy to encourage saving? What options does the government have to fight a recession? My city wants to reduce driving downtown, what are some possible policies? What economic policies can we use to fight global warming? What are the arguments for and against rent control? What is a monopoly? All of these questions are easily answered with macroecon 101 level knowledge and most are hard to answer without (we haven't even started talking about micro!) That doesn't mean econ 101 is always applicable, but it does mean you'll have a far better understanding of the world after taking it, even if you do come in with some preconceived notions.

I will say that Noah's suggestion that econ 101 should be more emperical is a good idea, and I especially believe that there should be a stronger emphasis on stats. I actually think that's true of all the social sciences though, and its a separate issue from what you're talking about.

Kik is launching their own digital currency as a token on the Ethereum network. Multiple tokens run on top of Ethereum. One of these tokens is called ETH. It's Ethereum's native and most widely accepted token. Why is Kik launching their own token instead of using ETH? Typically the answer to this question is about creating additional features that the native token ETH doesn't have (Ethereum tokens can be programmed to follow arbitrary rules). No, Kik's token will not have any additional features. The sole reason they are creating their own token instead of using ETH is to have a money printing machine that they control. It's in their white paper after several pages about decentralization and fairness. Search for "Kin Rewards Engine".

Teenager used BitTorrent to download Chicken Run: Here’s what happened
I'm not sure (at least on the rollout side which was what caused the largest impact)...

My team does a lot of releases and rollouts. We use automation in the majority of cases and automatically pause if alert conditions occur during the rollout.

We usually release a dev version (which we can run tests (incl. typical traffic that we expect the service to handle)), canary version and production version. Ideally you want to catch this sort of stuff during the tests that you run against your dev instances. Of course, you have to have the right testing infrastructure, monitoring and alerting in place to avail of that.

For some of our services, we use graduated rollouts so we can gradually direct traffic from the old version of the stack to the new one over a period of time. This allows us (where us = our monitoring) to quickly identify if there are issues (e.g. can compare error rates of version x with version x+1) and reset the percentage of traffic going to version x+1 to 0% if there is an issue.

From the postmortem, they indicated the need to add additional monitoring to identify an increase in error rate + traffic rate. I'm pretty sure the Production Readiness Reviews called out in the SRE book by Google (see here: https://landing.google.com/sre/book/chapters/evolving-sre-en...) would have caught this. The book also has some good insights on how to do better monitoring (hint: don't have humans eyeballing dashboards).

Saying all that, I've seen plenty of small bugs make it to that stage of deployment with that level of impact so it's certainly not trivial to get 100% test / monitoring coverage... Reviewing the causes of outages and specifically identifying and resolving action items from them go a long way to ensuring you improve over time.

>15+ years of experience gives me enough info to know what timelines should normally be

This is my concern. It absolutely doesn't give you that knowledge. Accurately estimating development of non-trivial software is still an open problem. The best solution we have to date is to accept this fact and use it in our process and planning to our advantage when possible.

If the work you're talking about is rote and mostly a matter of repeating a pattern rather than innovating and engineering, sure I can see that being more predictable. Unfortunately quite a bit of software development does not fall into that bucket.

I am amused at my own experience of reading this. I have read articles about the physical experience of climbing Everest and what it does to your mind and body. I have found this fascinating and useful as a point of comparison for thinking about my own medical issues.

But then I read this money angle and I am just repulsed by the idea of spending this kind of money on something like this. For this kind of money, I could basically pay cash for a small house (and would do so, if I had a chunk of change like this). I am appalled by the idea that anyone spends this kind of money on climbing a mountain.

And yet the articles about the climbing experience that I found so very meaningful would not exist if no one was willing and able to spend money like this.
I understand you argue about "those internet people", but you also choose to question my motives which I find disrespectful. I'm not climbing for anyone but myself.

For what it's worth, ascending the Andes is what got me into altitude mountaineering in the first place. I'm looking forward to Cho Oyu which will be the first step towards Everest. Seeing how I'm yet to surpass 7000m (Aconcagua in December), it will surely be a test of faith.
Wow incredible.

Who would have thought the first time humanity would see large scale resurrections of the dead would be so that the corpses could post internet comments about how much they hate the idea of net neutrality and show their support and love for monopolies?

Simply amazing, I knew people would be passionate about net neutrality but I wouldn't have guessed it was powerful enough to resurrect the lifeless.

Do you think they will start using this technique in medicine soon? In the ER or hospitals? Imagine the amazing sequence of events:

"We're losing him, we're losing him... he just has no more will to live"

'No wait, give me that laptop.'

"He's dead, flatlined"

'SIR, SIR, HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE NET NEUTRALITY'

... grumble grumble.... beep beep beep beep

"Incredible! We have a pulse again!"

'SIR, DO YOU LOVE MONOPOLIES, YOU MUST COMMENT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS, HERE TAKE THIS LAPTOP'

... beep beep beep beep beep beep beep .....

"I... am ... I do.... I do love... I.... I DO LOVE MONOPOLIES, I.... I DO HATE NET NEUTRALITY.... FINALLY... A REASON TO LIVE!! GIVE ME THAT LAPTOP NOW!!!!"

'It's a medical miracle!!!!!!'

> Remember, if you have a DevOps Team, then you are absolutely not doing DevOps. Developers should be involved in managing everything about their applications, including infrastructure.

I think the intent here is a good one. You as a developer should be involved with how your software is deployed and managed. It's just that there is a pretty grey boundary between where developer involvement ends and ops involvement begins.

Another issue is that devops is extremely poorly defined. Some people insist this means only writing chef scripts. Some people it's diagnosing and fixing production issues. Some people it's just sysadmin work. Or other responsibilities and combinations.

Counterpoint: when people do this to me, I instinctively assume that the true reason is laziness. On top of that, I feel alienated – what, you think you're so important that you can brush me off just like that, and I'm not even worthy being given a reason?

Be careful with this one. It's very much possible to state a reason and still express that you won't change your mind on the matter. Although it is more effort, you won't lose people's goodwill.
> While many will tell you that compromise is the key to a successful marriage, I think that standing up for yourself and who you need to be usually is more important.

I think you may be taking about a situation in which there is compliance but not actual compromise. Compromise involves both coming to middle ground, whereas compliance meets the needs of one at the expense of another. So I think the saying actually supports what you say.

"Because this attribute is typically implemented using CSS, it’s also possible to override it using CSS. For instance, a rule that applies 'display: block' to all elements will cancel the effects of the hidden attribute. Authors therefore have to take care when writing their style sheets to make sure that the attribute is still styled as expected."

So, as you can see, this is by design.

If this attribute behaved only in the manner the author assumes it would be essentially useless.

Instead, we have an option to have it act as "display:none", "visibility:hidden", etc.

Also, it has accessibility benefits beyond "aria-hidden":

It's not that there is unburnt fuel in your exhaust - unburnt fuel, while a pollutant, is not the problem.

The issue is that higher temperature combustion, while more efficient, produces much more NOx. So you get more energy per unit fuel at higher temperatures, but you also get more pollutants. Lower temperatures (less oxygen) result in "cleaner" combustion (essentially, more CO2 and N2, less NO and NO2), but produce much less energy per unit fuel.

Right, which is why you need the total money supply to grow/shrink roughly in proportion to the total aggregate wealth (whatever that is -- an ill-defined, poorly understood social construct which we all "kinda" know).

This is what gold bugs (and their bitc equivalents, and...) don't understand: their money supply changes randomly and completely out of phase with the actual economy, with empirical evidence of disastrous consequence. Great in theory, dreadful in practice.

Accounting has a magical provision for this at unusual sequence points (i.e. asset sales): goodwill. When the asset denomination (i.e. cost) is out of whack with what is thought to be the underlying value, the delta is magically stuck in a bin called "goodwill" which then depreciates, slowly smushing it into the overall money supply.
Dude, talk to your wife about it. I feel like I wouldn't get through 50% of the stress in life without having someone who cares about me more than I do to bounce ideas and thoughts off of.
I've never had a job involving "moral, conscience, or basically anything that doesn't have an epistemologically solid answer" except the moral issues that were clear-cut. E.g. flat-out illegal. Nor have I ever had anyone use the word "reasonable" that way in such a discussion.

I'm the technical expert wherever I work, and yes, the situation is pretty clear-cut. The abuse of the word in such clear situations is why I used an arithmetic analogy.
Prices are high because demand is high and supply is low. Yes, that gets covered.

Big corporations used to have bean-counters that calculated the cost of getting caught and they cheated only when the risk vs. damages had a cost upside.

> Since such debts tend to have fixed payments over fixed periods, a reasonable rate of inflation would ensure that the real cost of paying off those debts goes down over time,

That's a dangerous assumption for someone to make. Better to consider the debt something used to map asset expense to future earnings (like a company maps dept payment & depreciation to expected asset lifetime).

The system in the US is messed up because there is a foolish bias towards home ownership. I'm not saying owning a home is inherently bad (I own one myself, but I paid cash), just that it is assumed to be inherently good, which is not. In fact it remains economically disastrous.

I've carried Diamox but never used it. I'm probably pretty lucky in that I've never had a noticeable issue at modest (3-4K meter) elevations and I've only had bad headaches a couple times when getting back from climbing up to around the 6K meter range.

I haven't been up to that altitude for a fairly long time. I can't say I'm up on the various recommended protocols.
