We don't have a difference. Of course talent plays into skills also. And, if it wasn't clear before, I think it's impossible for two people to run the same decision process. Values, needs, experience are all so infinitely varied that there is no such thing.

> Look through my profile, and you will see a cynic. Josiah Zayner, the guy who's article is posted would be a guy of similar disposition.

I'm fine with cynicism. I just don't buy into the "burn the world" version of it. And it's not even a decision based on facts, but rather that operating that way is just untenable for me. If I strip away all the layers of trust, there's simply nothing left. Yes, we live in a world and society that is terribly broken in many ways. But, regardless, we still have to live in it. And so I choose to accept some baseline axioms, simply to survive.
From looking at some of those recipes Aeropress looks more like a cult than a way of brewing coffee. Instructions on exact seconds to wait for the water to cool or how many times to turn the spoon... I don't doubt that this influences the coffee but I doubt that any mortal human can taste the difference between s coffee stirred 3 or 4 full rounds.

You can implement this with the Twilio API or Twilio Studio pretty easily.
One way they're different is with an ID and password you can lock people out of meetings. With just an ID other than rate limiting clients there's no way to tell an authorized connection from someone war dialing the number.
AeroPress doesn't really scale for company, though. I remember trying to make several cups in a row for family and by the time cup #3 was finished, cup #1 was cold.

I do still whip out my AeroPress from time to time if I'm making a really fruity coffee, because I feel like the AP method is better at extracting those flavors. But for my usual morning cup for myself and my significant other, French Press is king.

> To my brain, AeroPress == French Press minus the "fine sludge".

I haven't really noticed "the sludge" in my FP since I invested in a Barata Encore canonical burr grinder. It's able to grind the beans coarsely and evenly enough that you don't get the sludge (which is usually the unevenly-ground fines that slip past the mesh filter). Additionally, paper filters trap the coffee bean fines, but they also trap the oil, which is desirable in your coffee.

But I will concede that the AP is probably the most affordable option for a good cup of coffee. You can pair it with a cheap blade grinder and still get a decent cup out of it, while poorly-ground coffee in a FP can make for a "sludgy" cup.

Thanks for the ad hominem and patronizing reply. I haven't been trying to buy TP, I just noticed it was missing every time. There may be plenty of TP (and other goods) in the pipeline, but that doesn't matter to the end user. They're just SOL because there's so little slack in supply chain management anymore.

Your post was completely and factually incorrect, then you not only blame me, but blame the people trying to adjust to a supply issue. How do you determine "what you need plus only a little extra" when you can't determine when TP will be in stock? It's been weeks now, and it's perfectly rational to buy more than you need since you can't count on the supply chain.
What if? Nothing. It's a dumb product, there joke is over and you move on in a few seconds.

I tend to make my code more readable by reducing the number of functions called per line of code.

It may be more compact to call several functions in one line, but it is more readable and easier to debug when you restrict the number of functions to one per line. And it's easier to insert additional lines when you don't have to deconstruct an pre-existing line to do so.

Yes, your compactly written line may run a mite faster. But you will be spending more time on maintenance and debugging than you have saved.

And yes, you may need to declare and use several extra variables to enable you to keep to the 'one function per line rule'.

If we go by textbook definition of stock prices, it is supposed to be the "present value of future cash flows". If we do not expect the society to be fundamentally altered due to COVID-19, then future cash flows should not really be affected from what they were assumed to be in Jan-2020.

So I would like to rephrase your question - what kind of permanent change do you expect in our society due to COVID-19?

Norway: Plug-In EVs Captured Record 75% of Market in March 2020
Last year, we bought a 40 acres in Colorado with a creek and a half-finished cabin for 100k. The land is about 45 min from our house in town, last 2 miles are 4wd only dirt road. There is 1-2 acre that is flat enough to farm, the rest is too steep. In the mountains, if it is steep it will be cheap.

I did a search on this a couple years ago and found a table of property tax data (no idea where now). From what I recall, Mississippi, Alaska and Nevada were all pretty low. There weren't as many low-tax areas as you might expect, though, and I'm sure a few of those are less than hospitable.

Property taxes really are the hardest part of this idea. You can find ways to unload almost every other expense (if you have enough time & energy, that is!). I guess you could be a nomad, moving your campsite around a national forest every couple weeks-- but you'd still need permits for any kind of hunting or fishing, and too much gathering might also be frowned upon.

Honestly, this lady was right when she said the only way to really live completely free in this age is to do it illegally. To be fair, though, there are probably a lot of places where you could do it & be unlikely to get caught.

Imagine a car racing game where when you crash at 100 MPH your car doesn't take on any cosmetic damage… Oh wait, that's all of them, because car makers can't bear the thought of their precious IPs all banged up. It's one of my pet peeves about car racing games with real cars.
Yeah, this seems to be heavily service dependent.

EC 2 and ELB increases are relatively easy to come by, but for some services like Media Services things has to get reviewed by the service team which can take a while.
The number of car chases I've seen in movies where motorcycles, taxis, and trucks keep pace with fast-moving vehicles makes me skeptical that is a real concern.

But let's say that we are concerned about consumers forming an incorrect association. If that was the case, we also would block brands from showing their products succeeding spectacularly in unlikely or impossible situations. If we don't trust consumers to treat fictional stories with caution, then we should also ban depictions of cell phones that have infinite reception in the middle of disasters, cars that allow drivers to walk away unharmed after crashes, or branded laptops that perform computing tasks that are beyond them.

Just a few weeks to a month ago, studios were joking about how Apple had a policy of making sure that movie villains never used iPhones. That's a clearly deceptive association Apple is trying to create, lots of evil people in the real world use iPhones.

The fact that we don't ban deceptively positive depictions of branded products is strong evidence that we do trust consumers to know the difference between fiction and reality.

As someone who has implemented online multiplayer tbs games before, this is exactly the kind of thing you would use at the backend.

However, you also need the same code running on the frontend in order to do validations before sending moves to the backend. That optimization helps distribute some server load and gets you immediate feedback. In Java's case, I'd use some java to js or java to kotlin to js transpilation.
> In the past my thought process almost exactly mirrored yours. It's only due to a bunch of years of observing these dynamics in multiple teams did I realize that these expectations I had were off. SW folks, as much as they try to deny it, are as emotional as anyone else. Everyone is emotional - they just manifest it in different ways.

That does not describe my thought process at all. Of course software people are as emotional as anyone else. No part of my argument is about software people being unemotional - and no part of my argument is about software people in particular. It applies to everyone who's trying to get a job done. If your altos and sopranos aren't blending because they're using different vowels, that isn't about how they feeling, that's about the vowels they're using. If your choir director isn't able to notice that, that isn't about an emotional desire for a particular choir director, that's because it's the choir director's job to notice it.

Yes, you can be upset or sad or exasperated at the choir director. You can be jealous that he has the job and you don't. You can even be indifferent. That's all worth addressing if you want a happy choir, sure, but none of that changes that the choir director's job is to notice when the altos and sopranos aren't pronouncing their vowels the same. The purpose of a choir (even a community choir that never performs) isn't to make a happy choir, it's to make good music. People are in the choir because they think making good music will make them happy - and everyone knows that, that's not an interesting observation.

> I've worked on plenty of technical problems that arose because people did not get along.

I have, too. I've also worked on plenty of technical problems that would have been equally present had everyone got along. I think whoever told you that there are "no technical problems" had a pretty limited view of the world. Sure, many problems are from behind-the-scenes social problems. I'd maybe even say that most problems that actually get solved are those. But it hardly means that if you had a company full of people who were perfect empaths operating in perfect good faith, you'd have no technical problems left.

(And, again, same for other fields - I've been in plenty of choirs with interpersonal problems, and the altos not liking the sopranos and the soprano who's unwilling to admit she's really an alto certainly aren't make things easier, but solving those won't magically make you blend!)

> You are not going to succeed unless you deal with the social problem? No matter how bullet proof your technical solution is.

Firmly agree. But you're also not going to succeed without a technical solution, either. Yes, if you've built out the pre-push CI, figuring out why people don't want to switch to it is a social problem, and you must solve that. But you also have to build it, and take any technical concerns they raise into account.

Not really. You could argue that it's been like this for a while. Depending on what you want to judge, there's

- Eisenhower (Interstates, the first nationwide public transportation network)

- FDR (The New Deal, Social Security)

My point is that unless you're really old, this is probably one of the worst things you'll experience. Of course that's a Western-centric view. Off the top of my head I think the Cultural Revolution would be worse, the Partition of India would be up there, and the incessant warring and instability in Africa as decolonization occurred.
> Only if you don't value your time...

> normally for most professionals it's much cheaper to earn the money...

It would be if those "professionals" had to take time off work to bake bread but in practice this is not what they tend to do. I'm one of them, having baked my own bread from when I went to high school. The whole process takes several hours but the actual working time is around 10-15 minutes, tops - that is when you bake no-knead bread or use a machine to do the kneading. I start the dough after dinner when the rest of the family starts to watch some form of canned entertainment. I put the bread - two loaves - in the oven, well, in a few minutes from now - around midnight. Bake for ~32 minutes at 250°C, ready. In the intervening hours I do other things, from commenting here to hacking on things. No money spent, no billable hours lost. Also...

> and buy bread that's produced in bulk

...much nicer bread which was not produced in bulk, with ingredients I know and nothing more than that. No sugar, not too much salt like so many store-bought breads, no strange 'bread improvers'. I can cut the bread as thin or thick as I like. Those 2 loaves last us (2 adults, 2 children) for about a week.

It’s not “Complete BS.” — just because we had those features does not mean most businesses used them to the same extent we do today.

If someone just wants a library to power a chess UI this isn't really necessary. Either way I'd suggest the author finish off the current implementation until they can get perft and other automated tests up and running first.

That said, chess programming is a _wonderful_ education in Computer Science, and you'll be following in the footsteps of so many great figures in the industry. Understanding bitboards and how to work with them can take you all the way from the bit-twiddling chapters of The Art of Computer Programming, right up to recent advances in CPU architecture and instruction sets. Learning how search works will teach you both very low techniques and high level heuristics in performance optimisation. And of course you can go all all the way up to recent advances in evaluation from deep learning.
That last statement, I'm there with you on. Tech debt is necessary, it could even be renamed "tech leverage," because that's what a lot of it is.

My thing is that there are tons of potential ways to mitigate zoombombing, even incrementally, and that they haven't or chose not to indicates it's because there were cost barriers to doing it. It has the tech debt smell, and it's what I've seen in other orgs.

I think FMEAs are a very good procedural tool. Because they put you into a mindset of considering your system and its functionality that's more "failure first" oriented.

However, they're also very difficult and time consuming to perform and keep updated throughout the development lifecycle. They're also necessarily sparse in terms of real coverage of a system's operational/behavioral domain for complex systems.

That said, I think way more software engineering organizations should be doing them as a matter of course even outside safety-critical systems. They're a very useful procedural tool to highlight blindspots at the very least.

Their position is "In order to become a dominant force in short video we need to infringe copyright, so we're going to do that until we're dominant, then we're going to act shocked and outraged that people are infringing copyright on our plaform and start attacking the content creators that gave us our success in the first place".

Problem is that first stage is much harder if you're a multi-billion dollar company.
