Many people report feeling older injuries/illnesses during prolonged fasting. It's not clear what is the nature of that, if it's just psychosomatic and some neural pathway is correcting/readjusting/"backpropagating" itself (think phantom pain) or if the original repair was "temporary" and body does a proper rebuild there, or something completely different is going on. Try 1 week then tell us if you felt something similar, I did.

While it was the official position was not passive aggressive. There has been passive aggressiveness coming from the team over it. One of the reasons many people wanted generics so that they could support map/filter/reduce in a type safe manner. This is the response we got from Rob Pike https://github.com/robpike/filter

For the longest time the answer about generics was "There are no plans for generics. I said we're going to leave the language; we're done"

And the people who have been advocating for generics understand that have downsides. That trade of different forms and placement of complexity (the lack of generics creates complex code in duplicate code for write arounds).

>Having a master with a read replica and then making the read replica the master in case the master goes down seems to be a very well known methodology. You can use a virtual ip with both servers behind it (keepalived) or a 0 ttl DNS solution (consul).

I don't want to be writing code to make things do automatic failover. I'm not a database engineer. I want a database where its standard setup does this stuff for me.

(I would find it really interesting if there was a tightly-integrated "distribution" of Postgresql plus related services that had a setup process as straight-forward as CockroachDB and had automatic read-replicas and failover.)
Twitch is an extremely imbalanced platform in regard to discoverability. Their model is to 'make the big bigger' and monetize a narrow field of creators well, rather than monetize a larger pool of creators. There are a number of valid criticisms of the platform, but this one is the most painful for new creators to contend with by a wide margin.

It also sucks for advertisers looking to work directly with those creators because it narrows the field of creators large enough to work with. Plus it inflates their viewership with users that may be less suitable for targeting.
Security best practices have always recommended treating all networks as untrusted and having non-internet-hardened stuff turned off by default in network facing products. You're right of course too, but Cisco is the real bad guy here.
I simply have to disagree. The amount of unqualified candidates that have a decent CV and are reasonable to talk to, but completely unable to correctly write a while loop is too damn high. That is what my whiteboard questions filter out. They're super easy stuff such as "I give you as input a list of integers, return the index of the first consecutive pair of numbers that when added is 42 - you can use any language or pseudocode". If they write it correctly, but not handle the obvious edge case with the end of the list, no pair existing, you can ask them about this. This is basic code review and discussion of a solution with a fellow developer - both very important.

You'd be shocked how many people that write years of relevant programming experience and fail that. Do we get some false negatives, probably. But it's a reasonable price to pay compared to hiring someone unqualified.

I think a big reason for this, is that you can teach yourself to be a developer, and all the millions of articles and videos on the topic mean you can get something done without understanding the fundamentals. I think this, for some, create a false sense of competency.

It's easier with say, structural engineers - if they have an exam and or relevant work experience, there is a pretty high chance that they're up for the job. And you wouldn't hire a junior engineers without a senior person overseeing and checking their work for grave mistakes.

I'd suggest not doing tiers. Segmentation is repulsive. Why do I ever want to be a bronze-level customer in your product world? It perhaps makes sense for products that have monopolized or established firmly or where costs are truely substantial as feature/utilization is increased. However, most likely is often the side effect of throwing in the MBA part of your brain to squeeze in that last bit of revenue juice without you having to improve the tech. In essence, just luring in customers with "low starting from..." prices and then telling them they are fools to expect those prices. I tend to distrust products that rely on segmentation to inflate revenues and I think they are often ripe for disruption. At least, for creative/educational products please don't tell your customers that they are 3rd class citizens in your world unless they allow you to completely squeeze them out.

The problem here is there's no way to figure out the "spirit" without having followed a rather extensive history - and the fact that the same justifications are repeated every time the rule is questioned in any way is testament to your already realizing that.

Why not just have the rule say what's actually meant, instead? If the desire is "no replies that are or might spark a controversy", then it's clearer for the rule to say that, instead of the vague, terse prohibition on complaints.

Better yet, go all the way and forbid replies entirely. That achieves the same stifling of conversation, in this one context where it's deemed "terrible", without the enforcement that can seem capricious and arbitrary (as you say yourself, "it's often not easy to tell the difference") and can needlessly shame an otherwise well-intentioned commenter.

Keeping it terse and relying on "spirit" is an excuse to maintain that aribtariness.

(But of course these fallacies are so well known exactly because programmers have proven their inability to reliably internalize them...)
At first glance I can tell where the code exits. It happens
whenever there is a "return" or a "try".
If someone actually told me they'd use 'cat error.log | grep 'ERROR:' | wc -l' to find an error count, they'd have to be gigantic drama queens or asshole for me to not hire them for a position, I'd even look for a different one if it's not quite the right fit for the one they're interviewing for. That is textbook example efficiency.
That's why it's a crude analogy :) The devil is in the details, as always.
Wait, do you actually want to stop programming and manage other programmers so early in your own personal development arc?

My primary advice is a strong "most people asking this question should not do this".

Not because you won't be good enough or grow into the job, but because it's a completely different job - and one that many programmers who actually like programming don't enjoy and in many cases aren't well suited for.

There are two toxic traps I should confront. The first is that titles like "tech lead" and "CTO" flatter your ego and impress your friends and parents. The only thing I can think of that exceeds this on the "sounds amazing today; tomorrow you'll start the rest of your miserable life" is an idealist taking money from a VC. Find a different way to impress your dad.

The second is that many companies do not understand how to incentivize programmers beyond "junior/intermediate/senior" (even architect is mostly just a senior who has to spend time managing, eg are distracted and less productive most days than a senior with a closed office) and you get to the point where the upper reaches of the programmer food chain are managing other programmers. Very few things could be more destructive. Honestly, it's fucking obnoxious.

You know what the very best programmers should get? A salary twice as big as the next best programmer, a quiet private workspace with permission to work from home, paid childcare and spousal assistance, and firm dedication from the management to insulate them from as many meetings and distractions as logistically possible. There should be penalties for disturbing them. Now that's tech leadership.

Also, the folks saying that you're working for the product, not the company are high as a kite. They are painfully wrong.

Long story short: if you love what you do, thank them politely for considering you and ask them for a quiet workspace and insulation from meetings. Then get back to work.
Thankyou! These are some really great points.

I think it's always important to look at the full supply chain life cycle effects of energy sources - keeping in mind that they need to be built from processed materials, potentially repaired, and decommissioned after a lifetime.

Once you account for the emissions of material throughput in building power plants and renewables, the sheer volumetric density of nuclear energy compared to all other sources pushes it far ahead in terms of cleanliness. You need a lot less concrete and steel per kWh generated.

Also your point about batteries is really important, because we would need to scale production many (many) orders of magnitude in order to reliably power a modern grid with majority renewable energy, and we don't really understand how that supply chain is going to look.

Unlike processing and manufacturing industries which generally have positive economies of scale, the problem with resource extraction (esp. with metals) is that the cost to extract has a negative forcing function driven by our prioritization of the most profitable reserves.

If you mine all the cheap reserves first, you will eventually be left with only the expensive ones.

We wouldn't be in such a bad pickle if our population wasn't nearing 8 billion. How much of that is really necessary to support one of the giant spires of our technological thrust? A million? A hundred million? I don't think even a billion humans would be necessary for all of the tech behind the computer industry.

It might have. Part of it was arrogance and bad advice from VCs, not lack of business acumen. There was a rejection for industry practice because we were different and doing something different, but it wasn't actually different and couldn't monetize because we focused on users that couldn't pay us real money, while working in an industry that doesn't value innovation.

Think of it as writing the software in a very barebones language and then requiring unit test coverage of all possible input combinations, asserting the full output. A lot of work, but gives you reasonable certainty that your code is indeed correct (does what it was designed to do). That's at least what I learned in that one masters course. After implementing the final assignment, which was equivalent to some three lines of C and took a team of four "the semester", I've decided to not look any further into it. It is being used in applications that warrant actual investment into bug-free code, say nuclear reactor control or helicopter rotor control.

I would imagine the MCAS belongs to this class. But even if your software is correct, the design it implements might be flawed, say by assuming the input you get from a single fallible sensor is to be trusted.
