I'm not sure what companies you've worked with, but the answers to your questions are very easy and come with experience. There's a universe of testable things. You'll never have 100% coverage (this is a software development law). Even if you were to do everything right, and build incredible automated deployment and testing systems, at best you'll end up reducing but never entirely eliminating fragility. To even get to that level of perfection would require a tremendous amount of overhead and time that most enterprises don't want to invest in the systems they build.

It's akin to trying to constantly remodel/add additions to a building. You may decide that you want new floors, but when you tear up the carpet you realize there's tons of water damage that was being covered.
I was curious if a nonsense LinkedIn account would get job offers. It does!
Query builders and ORMs often go hand in hand in my experience, as the ORM will expose the ability to perform custom querying capabilities around the specific object you're working with; however, you're correct in that I am more considering query builders than ORMs directly in this instance.
Yes, just as you could draw conclusions about chemical exposure that increases or decreases jump-rope ability. If you use the metric in the right context it's fine.
Moral and legal obligations that restrict your choices don’t make you “property”. Property itself isn’t a single, neat concept, but refers to bundles of rights and obligations. By using the word “property”, you’re invoking the mental image of some of the rights associated with physical property, like the near absolute right to destroy and use for your own purposes.

Marriage is no such a thing at all. It’s a kind of relationship with its own peculiar set of moral rights and obligations, like e.g. contracts or torts.

Being required to exercise care so as to not be liable in tort doesn’t make you anyone’s “property”, and neither does a contract to sell them goods.

Monogamous marriage is no doubt a restriction of freedom, just like all of the other rules that govern our society. The argument is whether such restrictions are justified, not making poorly-founded analogies to “property”.
OTP = One-time programmable
In my experience, well in excess of 20% of devs would make such claims and/or behave like this if given free rein, perhaps even a majority. This is especially true if you take "dev" to mean "anyone who commits code". The exact percentage will of course depend on the nature of the organisation and the incentives set by it.

I will give you that eventually they will take a bunch of time on something and have to explain furtively "it's more complicated than you think" but they may not even realise at that point why it's getting harder.
Data locality regulations
Absolutely terrible. Like you said, totally unreliable. Scaling it is insanely difficult. Documentation is weak. Their APIs seem like an afterthought and performance was pretty bad.

Nagios is not great, but it’s reliable and when it breaks you can figure it out.
Very cool. We are current HelpScout customers -- my biggest complaint with HelpScout is our inability to properly gate our knowledge base behind our application's authentication -- the only choices are private (must have HelpScout account to access) or public URL.

I could see this being a viable alternative, but it appears to be missing a key feature for us, analytics. As an B2B SaaS app, we have support SLAs that mandate specific response times. HelpScout makes it easy for us to report response times. We can also tag support themes to help focus product development; being able to see metrics around theme frequency is very important.

Analytics also tell us which Knowledge Base articles are most popular as well as phrases users search so we can be sure we surface the correct article.
Hey!

You are right, a demo account will be great! I'll be working on it, thanks!
I've been using the attiny84, iirc attiny85 doesn't support the lowest of the low power modes
So, this is from the other side of the table. Every place I interview, with every person who interviews me (phone and in-person), I always ask:

"If there was one problem here that you could snap your fingers and magically 'fix', what would it be?"

Then I usually follow-up asking what they consider the "fix" to be.

If there's a systemic problem at the company, usually the answers among the different employees will be quite similar. If I notice that, along with possibly similar solutions proposed, as I interview up the food chain I'll ask specifically about it. If I get a dismissive response, then I know to turn down any offer.
for me: trash fonts rendering. Some people don't see the difference (I don't blame them), I can't work with Linux-rendered fonts more than 1 hour. Tried Ubuntu and Debian.
>> IQ is probably the single most trustworthy finding in psychology/sociology.

> The single most trustworthy finding for ... what though? I don't know what a measurement being "trustworthy" means unless you associate it as an indicator for something else. But you didn't do that.

Literally the next sentence is:

>> In a field where even core studies don't tend to get replicated (this is changing slowly and grudgingly), it has survived decades of replication and attacks.

I don't know if you think the current academic scientific process is a method of discovering facts about the universe, but if you do, the process of replication and fielding criticism is the process through which scientific findings become trustworthy.
>I think you may be having a selection bias here: there is a lot of people who sleep 8-9 hours at night who are in high income brackets (I think that’s what you mean by “successful”, even though that’s a debatable metric).

I'd disagree. Numerous studies with large sample sizes show the average sleep in America is 6 hours and change. I'd need to see some hard evidence that there are "a lot" of people, that is, a statistically significant number of high-earners, who sleep 8-9 hours.

In fact, there is evidence to the contrary of your claim:

>Turns out, the difference is pretty negligible — the "successful" people get 12 minutes less than the average American. According to this 2013 Gallup poll, the average American gets 6.8 hours of sleep every night.

I'm a non-technical founder who generally doesn't bug my team about why a change took so long but that's because they communicate with me.

Thing is, working with a developer as a non-technical team member can be a frustrating, opaque experience. Communicating progress is eye-opening for non-technical colleagues but when a programmer does not communicate, then obviously the non-technical members have no idea what's going on.

Developers can forget too, that the one small change might be holding up marketing, sales and customer support, all of whom themselves are getting flack from above about why X customer is still angry, or why the press release isn't being sent out yet etc. "Waiting on a dev" isn't an answer that reflects well on anyone.

The "Dear Client" letter wouldn't be necessary if there was more communication. It can even be automated. Here's what I see in a Slack channel with my colleagues:

I look at this as not playing to core competencies.

SQL's strength is that it's declarative.

By wrapping an ORM around it, suddenly you have a DB engine talking to an ORM engine through a declarative interface. There simply isn't enough information and context passed across the interface to properly optimize.

So in the end, it's like trying to run two optimizing compilers in series, where either knows the specs of the other.
The most interesting part of this at least for me is what inspired it: A way to track cursor location without using javascript, that even works in Tor Browser: https://twitter.com/davywtf/status/1124130932573839360

tl;dr css hover selectors that change the background image don't actually cause the browser to GET the specified background image until you hover over it, thus creating a way to send data from a web page with no javascript.
Fascinating to read a glimpse from the other side of the fence, which very much reinforces my take from the outside. Even the parts I thought might be just me getting a bit too cynical as I age. :)

> Particularly people who study PPE think their opinions matter more than everyone else's

This is why I hope for - but don't ever expect - a decline of professional politicians, only concerned with party. A few more ex-army or navy would be against silly wars for good reason, even if young enough to have only seen service in the first Iraq war. Some who have the basics of how tech works, rather than inserting foot when they speak of it. Or actually worked in the NHS or wherever. Even if there's the odd idiot commodity trader that gets through. :)

On the left it's also become the home of the privileged, with far fewer who've actually experienced poverty or disadvantage before making policy about it.

The back benchers no one knows, who make up many committees are far more likely to have had a fair bit of real life experience. Select committees that often do manage to come up with intelligent recommendations or criticisms. None of whom are ever likely to get into cabinet, as you say, just to toe the party line when whipped.
Have you looked at the DataMapper pattern? Not identical to what you are describing, but it sounds closer than a tradition ORM.
>The Renesas RX200 family would be a nice addition to the list.

Because there is a good chance that the project manager is on a much crappier compensation ladder. So it isn't really a promotion, more like a sideways move onto a higher-stress but lower paid train.
I can't imagine that all that stress to min/max health outcomes through strict behavior changes is good for you or worth it in the long run.

I subscribe to some nutrition and fitness subreddits and I see people obsessing about minute details of what they eat, how much they sleep, obsessing to take control over every facet of their lives because of some study they read on the internet.

I contend that worrying about these things is counter productive. Of course you should get enough sleep, you should exercise regularly and generally eat healthy. Check with your doctor, but this will probably be enough to avoid life style inflicted harm long term.

Strict controls and obsessive attention to your everyday life to maybe postpone death by some unknown amount of time, probably not worth it. Death sucks, but it's inevitable and no amount of finessing health choices will change that.
Hm storage as RAM. Sounds like what IBM AS/400 was doing like 30 years ago for mini-frame machines.
I call the the “one little button syndrome”, where a client thinks that just adding one little button to a web page should take a few minutes. They don’t realize that that one little button may require a whole bunch of code to support on the backend.

While Wolfram alpha got me through Cal 2, why are you plugging it here?
Certainly. I'm going to ignore this article because the details it contains are only a distraction from the shape of my perspective.

Coverage about the opiate epidemic doesn't use personal stories to get the reader to take the issue seriously. They do it to trick the reader into thinking they care about the opiate epidemic for long enough to click some ads. If the death numbers didn't make someone shit their pants and get to work on fixing it, some pictures of white trash aren't going to either.

A person reading the news in New York would much rather hear about the problems with a failing school district in Appalachia than their own county. It (among other things) lets them project their impression of Appalacia onto the problem, and lets them avoid thinking about the fact they're already ignoring all the issues in their own schools. Approximately nobody who will effect the local school district first hears of the problems with it in the paper.

How many people who want to improve the world have actually make it their job? Or volunteer on the side? Or call local leaders every now and then? Or do as little as donate money to charities making a big impact on the world? The presence of real world issues in the news let people lie to themselves that they're doing more than consuming entertainment. The news is written with that in mind. Not consciously, no. But the system has evolved in adaptation to that constraint.
And when that's true, the design decision in question is often flawed.
A sleep cycle typically progresses N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> N4 -> N3 -> N2 -> REM, before repeating.

The first cycle in a night takes less time--at 70 to 100 minutes--and has the longest N3 and N4, and shortest REM interval. As the sleep progresses, the N3 and N4 phases shorten and REM lengthens, as the overall cycle for 2nd and subsequent cycles extends to 90 to 120 minutes. Later cycles may omit N3 and N4 entirely. The only phases in which you are unlikely to awaken from external stimulus are N3 and N4, so by your last cycle of the night, you are more likely to awaken at any time from an alarm clock or a sunbeam on the face.

It may be that N3 and N4 are used to shut down the body, to perform a physical cleanup of the brain and other organs for their metabolic waste products, and then REM is used to clear out short term memory and compress information from it for storage in long term memory. If so, then the body is essentially reserving the first 160-220 minutes in a night for physical cleanup before allowing a significant REM phase to happen. As REM apparently represents as much or greater brain activity as a waking brain, the NREM phases could then clean up the metabolic waste products from the previous REM phase.

If you take the first 3 phases as a double-NREM, middle cycles as REM-NREM, and the final cycle as REM-wake, your time interval math may work out differently.
There’s always been conservative skepticism towards economic liberalism, like Bismarck and Theodore Roosevelt.

There is no "however". This bug is about code that is, according to the AMD doco, using the instruction correctly; but that is, because the AMD processor has this possible state after a suspend+resume, getting all-ones as its random data, thereby causing ID collisions in a fairly wide range of possible things from freshly re-generated machine IDs to journal file header block IDs, and including unit invocation IDs.

Yeah from what I've seen you can desolder the status LED to lower the current even more. With the ESP32's you can use the lower power processor as well.

I want to automate my blinds, which is kinda annoying as that means ~6 different, "high up" spots in high visibility areas, and obvious motors mean "high power" (compared to micro amps).

I'm really not sure how to approach this one yet...
The easiest way would be for the SEC to get involved. They can bar people from being officers of public companies. Of course, it would be a major abuse of power and certainly unconstitutional.

Everything is a feature:

- Automatic tests, a feature. You can buy it if you want or you can accept accidental bugs any time even for stuff that worked before, or even complete meltdown. You don't have to buy them (I personally usually stop working here as this is professionally unacceptable for me, there are tones of sub standard shops that can do this) but accept warnings and give written stuff about it so I can later just ignore your anger with full confidence.

- CI/CD - you can buy it, means we are agile and fast, we do 20 deployments a day vs 2 per week where some may fail due to insulin spike at the moment. Maybe you don't want it, and snail speed is acceptable for timeframe/budget or is the least evil.

- Epic docs - you can have them or not, again, it will determine how many people you will eventually have in the help desk team, the local IT team, the perceived quality of the system, etc...

- Metrics - yes, we can make nice dashboards and you can know FIRST when anybody gets unknown exception or CPU goes higher then 90% but maybe you don't care or don't have a budget and maybe we will spend time doing wrong things.... because we don't know how often are features used...

- Full auditing - maybe you need this 10 years back in full detail for legal reason, or NOT because you don't give a damn about it as you plan to sell it in 3. Your decision.

and so on and on...

Everything is a feature. I wont accept work without some features - I can be realistic if needed but we need to mutually understand and agree what it means for the system and have that written down on public place (for example company ticketing system).
From my experience reading research into articles relating to neuroscience, when omitting the term 'organization', 'driving' something implies a sort of 'this is what is powering the...' or 'this is what is stimulating the...'
I agree that including the term 'pokemon' would drive some readers to the article, omitting 'organization' obfuscates what the article is really about
It's also possible that those who sleep 8-9 hours are people who need 10+ hours of sleep but settle for 8-9. Whereas those who sleep 7 hours are those who only need 7 hours.

I'm not sure, Louisiana does have a Department of Environmental Quality [1]. In Illinois we had a similar issue play out this year. The Governor is the one who ended up banning the plant's use of ethylene oxide [2]. It looks an obscure state law allowed for that action:

"Invoking rarely used authority in state law, Illinois EPA Director John Kim prohibited Sterigenics from pumping ethylene oxide gas into massive chambers used to sterilize medical equipment, pharmaceutical drugs, spices and food."

Tangential, but reminds me of Stephen Wolfram's story of how it got the name Mathematica. It was actually Steve Jobs's idea:

"Over the months after our first meeting, I had all sorts of interactions with Steve about Mathematica. Actually, it wasn’t yet called Mathematica then … For a while he wouldn’t suggest anything. But then one day he said to me: 'You should call it Mathematica.' … he told me his theory for a name was to start from the generic term for something, then romanticize it." (Wolfram, Idea Makers)
