This plus checking codebase in regular intervals for:
* KISS?
* Bundled components?
* Dependency injection useful?
* Duplicated components / functions?
* Too much/less abstract classes? Interfaces useful?

In my case that looks like: Write code for 6h, review and refactor code 2h. Result is that less code is produced (due to refactoring/removing/etc.) and codebase keeps being simple. On the other hand it's easier to write tests.

No need to use complex enterprise patterns. Most of time simple facades and delegators are enough. Consider writing small simple components instead of using heavy patterns with a lot of boilerplate code.
Your US taxes should be close to nothing, and filling your french taxes can be done in anything from 2 minutes to a couple hours, depending on how large/complicated your savings are. The only burden there is is with the US asking you to fill in taxes when there's nothing to pay.

I agree that coming without planning to learn a bit of french might be a burden.

What Killed Single-Payer in California?
Oh god no.
DON'T POLLUTE THE CURRENCY.

This is a massive fuck up and it won't scale or be modular. The idea is fine but you need the entities/currency into a smaller core with your DAL and relationship objects above that layer. The only functions your currency should have are accessors or read-only convenience calculations. Other operations should be handled by another parent because let me tell you that that Course collection is going to end up being null or empty A LOT when it "shouldn't" be.

You'll want your use cases to return shallow object graphs (e.g. GetCourses => courses.Enrolled => StudentName, StudentId) from the data layer/services and then if you want to look up a Students details you make that another call. The alternative is to run some sort of "scope" object that defines the depth of graph you want when accessing a general api. The thing you're looking to avoid though is returning more information than is necessary.

Also who taught this guy to model? Students are in courses in this model the courses are inside students and that's silly.

What Is Central Limit Theorem (CLT)? – Biraj Parikh – Medium
More than a decade later, how original YouTube stars feel about the site
Yeah, I'm quite a big fan of Eric Evans and DDD. Especially the more high level parts about ubiquitous language, bounded contexts, anti-corruption layers, and many of the other patterns. Yet I think that the focus on single-dispatch OO kind of dates the book and makes it less general and beautiful, much like how the GoF's "Design Patterns" book is more banal than Christopher Alexander's work on pattern languages because of the overemphasis on specific implementations of single dispatch OO patterns (the notorious visitor pattern, for example).

It's still more ambiguous than stated given the differing results per country(both positive and negative) and they didn't control for fungicide use.

We clustered sites into triplets (>3.2 km between sites) and randomly allocated sites to one of three treatments: (i) clothianidin applied at 11.86 to 18.05 grams of active ingredient per hectare (g a.i. ha−1) with a fungicide (thriam and prochloraz) and nonsystemic pyrethroid (beta-cyfluthrin) (trade name Modesto); (ii) thiamethoxam applied at 10.07 to 11.14 g a.i. ha−1 and combined with the fungicides fludioxonil and metalaxyl-M (trade name Cruiser); and (iii) control OSR receiving a commercial fungicide (thriam and dimethomorph in Germany and Hungary and thriam and prochloraz in the United Kingdom) but no neonicotinoid seed treatment.

Fungicides may have synergistic effects when used with pesticides. [0][1][2]

The other study, "Chronic exposure to neonicotinoids reduces honey bee health near corn crops" is a bit more credible. Corn is a non-uniform seed and more apt to ablate the seed coat and generate significant dust issues, hence Canada's regulation to for seed lubrication. Ground persistence and mobility make setting up adjacent pollinator refuge sites a potential source of neonicotinoids in addition to the irrigated surface water. That corn is wind pollinated and only provides a nutrient poor pollen kind of exacerbates that, I think.
Contrast that with western Canada where CCD hasn't been observed in canola regions, canola seed is uniform and canola provides both nutritious pollen and nectar.

I still don't think an outright ban at this point is the right choice especially given the limited alternatives and research into those alternatives. Organophosphates are significantly worse for both humans and bees. Pyrethrins aren't exactly safe for bees either, with both being broad-spectrum insecticides and requiring more frequent application via foliar spraying. Even IPM guidelines for a pest like the flea beetle rank several types of neonicotinoids above using pyrethrins[3].

There really aren't any easy solutions but, reevaluating the use of prophylactic seed treatment should be worth a consideration.

It's more likely than you might think!
Plenty of double standards to which the thought police never recognize. Had a friend working on Wall St. at a firm with a zero tolerance policy (aka no chance whatsoever to explain the accused's side of the story, as in HR shows you the door with a box of your stuff immediately). One of his junior womyn analysts couldn't handle the workload. Her attention to detail was also severely lacking. Knowing she was at risk of losing her job, two weeks before reviews, she pulled the sexual harassment card which got my friend, who was a star performer (as in top 1% of the entire IB staff) and fast tracker to senior mgmt, fired. I've known him for 20+ years and he wouldn't ever cross the line between work and pleasure. She lasted another couple of months until more people saw the writing on the wall then she was blown out. But yea, it's a white, male, patriarchal, rape culture and nothing else.
This is just a hoax by bee scientists trying to get rich off our tax dollars. We need to do the patriotic thing and cut their funding and give it to the rich.
You're putting your car before your horse. The reason they don't pass this cost benefit analysis is because we continue to build and subsidize road construction, gasoline, and cars. If you keep subsidizing that, then turn around and look at public transportation and sneer at it as if it is somehow something that is a subsidy, of course you can never do an appropriate cost/benefit analysis. Not to mention that instead of fixing the issue, we keep building roads. That never solves the problem.

I'm not familiar with your particular situation or how the NYC metro works, but typically we pay taxes for all sorts of things we don't use, and some thing we indirectly benefit from.

> I'm less concerned about the bad aspects of private cars than you are.

Which I find bizarre. Why are you so concerned that you might be subsidizing trains, but unconcerned about the environmental impact, the suburban sprawl and resource drainage, the insane amount of money spent purchasing and maintaining cars and highways, and the thousands of people who die every year in car accidents?

> I regard the trains as a scam intended to make a few people rich from money from the Federal government from tax money.

Well then you can just level that criticism at everything so unless you're an anarchist (and I am, actually), this isn't really a useful comment. Plus, if you think trains are a "scam" that are somehow screwing the American taxpayer, why would you not level the same criticism at the auto or fuel industry?
I personally wouldn't target those companies. They tend to employ on a permanant basis and the contract market is a bigger payer.

Also after a few years in the game you tend to get targetted by recruiters as you may have specialised into certain areas. i.e. finance.

So for example, I don't normally look for work, it normally finds me.

Seriously, how many people are reading the Bible? Some.
The best available translation? Fewer.
The original untranslated text? Very few. It's the actual word of God and you don't think it's important enough to read in the original? Please. Give me a break.

Let's set that aside though. Let's just go for the big stuff. Is Jesus cosubstancial with the father? You would figure something that profound would be easy to ask God himself. How this question was resolved is proof of the popularity contest that was / is the Christian church.

Science keeps chipping away at the Bible. The reverse doesn't happen. Just because X doesn't solve everything perfectly (and doesn't claim to) doesn't mean Y is anything less than fantasy.
Indeed.

CourseRegistration.Register(course, student);

CourseRegistration.ViewCoursesFor(student);

I think giving either entity "ownership" of the relation is a disaster waiting to happen. I just have this vision of someone wanting data about students accidentally loading all the course information.
In the DAL of course you end up modelling however but seeing courses in a student just makes me ill.

Agree. We could use anything to have uninterrupted power for 24 hours. Although coal plants are being build but current government is also investing in hydel, solar and wind farms. I think coal will be a short term fix while we sort out economy and then focus more on renewables.
Pure indefatigable arrogance usually serves me very well.
I didn't intend to imply that immigration is good or desirable; it just is. It's a fact of life. I merely wanted to point out that the ratio of immigrants to natives in the US isn't particularly unusual.

(I'd say it's obvious immigration has huge potential but also considerable risks to the host country). In the long run, I suspect immigration is almost always a positive.

Consider smartness as "what you can do with what you know," while experience is "what you know"--then, what follows is that having more experience makes up for not being as clever.

Able to make good choices = Intellect * Experience

Moreover, employers can _try_ to assess intelligence with whiteboard interviews...but the easier factor to evaluate is experience. It's right there on the resume!

Experience takes time. More or less, depending on several factors (willingness to learn and improve, complexity of the subject, ...). But by definition, if you gain experience, you just got older than before.

You cannot magically learn everything out of sheer willpower.

Additionally, a few things are impossible to learn without time: the "Judgement" section in the article. You can certainly theoretically understand the meaning of it, but to experience it and have a deep, intimate understanding of it you have to go through the process of writing something and supporting it.

So it's not a matter of correlation / causation, it's a matter of the two concepts being two sides of the same coin.

Maybe taxes in California are crater than Croatia, but I would be very surprised if the average tax want much greater in Europe than in the US. Do you have specific places in mind?

I also think fear of police is overblown in the US (maybe I would feel differently if my skin were a different color, but this doesn't appear to have a basis in data), and "freedom from fear of police" isn't really a political freedom (at least in my mind) unless you are referring to police oppressing people for their speech, political affiliations, etc, which clearly is a non-issue in the US. That said, while the odds of being injured or killed by police are many times greater than in Europe, they are still miniscule. It seems analogous to the recently heightened risk of terrorist activity in Europe--many times greater than in the US, but still not a reason to avoid Europe.

I do think Europe is a good value proposition for a lot of people (I've lived there and occasionally consider trying to move back), but I don't think Europeans have more freedom.
I bet there could be an actual business model of recycling components from e-waste. Obviously it'd require more QA work than what the counterfeit "recyclers" do, but, with enough automation, I bet you could structure it so that you at least break even on the e-waste disposal side, and then any resold components become pure profit.
Isn't it intuitive that there is a strong chance we are alone, or is it just me?

I've always found the Fermi paradox quite unconvincing. And the Drake equation makes it even more obvious.

Funny you should say that, because it has happened exactly that way in the past (e.g. in Germany):

"People" who spout nonsense again and again for some form of monetary gain or to live out and push on others their religious superstitions want to force their stance into the public eye through proposals like this.

> My question is, if it can be shown as bullshit, I mean, if you are 100% confident that it is bullshit, what is there to loose?
There are always easily manipulated people in the broad public who are being used to weaken the overall perception of validity and the trust in REAL science.

> So they are manipulating people, but not the "others" (pro-vaxxers, climent-change proponets etc). Why not give both sides an opportunity to manipulate people? I mean, if something is clearly bullshit, it should cause no harm, right?

If they had any legitimate claim of sound science they would be perceived as such by the public and thus wouldn't need to push proposals like this. Such methods are used to bypass the peer-review process which is vital to ensure (new) findings are actually valid. This process also has the side-effect that "science" that's falsified/made up (like the autism-and-vaccines study that was falsified but was/is used to influence/manipulate vulnerable or naive parents) is weeded out.
When I was working for a microprocessor company (which you use everyday) many many years ago, they were selling this JTAG debugger for a few thousand $ each. The cpu architecture was booming in China at that time, but that $ figure is not something people can afford. Clones started to flood the market pretty fast, a typical clone set you back for a few hundred $, that was already 1/10 of the original price.

However, that was still considered too expensive - then there was this vendor in Shanghai which came up a clone they sell for around $100 - after talking to them via some unofficial channels, we figured out that they had people stationed in those electronics dump sites to source the chips required. In those place, you don't pay for each chip, you pay for a kg price, e.g. I want 10kg of that chip, how much each kg please?

10+ years on, those engineers who first studied that CPU architecture back then using those cloned JTAG debugger are now pretty experienced/better paid, they are probably the ones complaining fake/reused chips on some Chinese forums claiming they are the victims.

That's primarily down to the fact that those boards require companies to identify themselves as a recruitment agency when they first sign up and more often than not, agencies 'forget' to do so knowing it'll get more eyes on their job postings.
The advice is clearly good. Given the context, it sounds like something that someone at a VPS provider might say, which was what made me curious. In any case, it's relatively rare in my experience here to run across the first-person plural without any antecedent at all, be it ever so vague - which also struck me as curious.

I'm not looking to either discount or treat as axiomatic anyone's arguments based on their apparent position along some authority gradient, if that's what you are getting at. What would be the point?
They do with my business. They constantly come in to try to add more services on to our O365 model. However, it's like talking to old salespeople about a new product they have never used. It's like pulling teeth and my team has to come up with their own solutions instead of Microsoft selling us a complete one. I for one am happy to hear they are doing this.
While Bayesian models are reasonably good in estimating such chances (and be dramatically reverted with new contradicting observations), they can't tell us the exact reason why such arrangement exists.

Which is the core of Fermi paradox, and therefore it still stands.
In this case it isn't that bad since its only loading registered courses for that specific student. Which for a student would be limited(10?). In fact it should probably be a business rule inside RegisterForCourse that a student can only register for a specific amount of courses per semester.

You normally need load an entire aggregate, so that you can maintain your invariants. If you separate into 3 aggregates such as Course, Student, CourseRegisteration then starts to become harder to maintain business rules. For example if you wanted the RegisterForCourse method to limit student course registration to 10, it would now have perform another query.

If start doing queries that don't match up your domain model, then should probably do CQRS. Which would allow you to build a model optimized for queries.
