> California was a Republican-leaning swing state before 1992.

California was, in Presidential politics, a Republican stronghold, not a swing state, prior to 1992. (Between Truman in 1948 and 1992, the only Democrat to win in California was Johnson in 1964; precious little swinging going on for a “swing” state.)

State and Congressional/Senate politics were less one-sided, though.
Yeah, I definitely agree that the business types just don't get it. If you give a wide range, they either think you're messing with them, or are incompetent.

Personally I tend to try to narrow the range as much as possible while keeping my upper bound as fixed as possible, but that doesn't always work either, and I think I still unconsciously try to go too far toward making everyone happy, and underestimate.

I think part of it is just our collective feelings of powerlessness that keeps us in this uncomfortable position. If a significant number of developers were to put their foot down and give real estimates that actually express uncertainty properly, and stick with them, management would start to understand, or at least accept, what's going on. But "getting a bunch of random people to change their behavior all at once" isn't a reliable strategy, so here we are, and here we'll continue to be.
It's so worth it, though. You may not realize it, but your Healthchecks don't work unless you are using target-type IP. In the standard mode, AWS healthchecks each kubernetes node, but not your pods themselves. It will keep sending traffic to pods that are unhealthy (such as in state: terminating) if it already has connections open through kube-proxy to them, and stop sending traffic to healthy pods if the connection to them was through a node it considers "unhealthy". I wrote at tool[1] to handle this at Houseparty before alb-ingress-controller supported this mode, and it gained us a whole nine as measured by the ALB.

The same failure mode actually exists with instances, though they typically rotate much more slowly. Monitor your ALB-ingress-controller and treat it as critical infrastructure, because it is.

Does this actually happen though? I mean, I acknowledge the theoretical possibility. Is it a commonplace occurrence? It's never happened to me, personally. If it did I'd likely be frustrated but I'd just play something else for a few days.
no idea if this is the reason but they are being pretty forward about banning malicious users (cheaters, creeps) and you can't do that effectively if you just ban the throwaway user.

But it's been a while that people are not at the centre of our economy anymore (have they ever been?). The issue is political. Politicians, backed up by economists, sell the dream of ever-increasing growth as a way to maintain peace. It's not reasonable in a finite, and like OP mentioned, chaotic world.

Am a big fan of the clean, simple UI of Coda. And the SCP built-in for web development. Would never consider VS Code or Atom. If I did make a change and not migrate to Nova, I would consider Brackets. It looks to be the most Coda-like. Any thoughts on that?
I've worked on both sides of that relationship. Believe me, most managers don't think about the details of building software and are just flying by the seat of their pants trying not to look dumb and get fired.
> The humanitarian cost of losing various sources of cheap energy very likely exceeds the humanitarian benefit of slightly reducing expected global temperature.

I'm totally cool giving a pass to areas with severe humanitarian problems that don't have the means to fight them. I care about America and other big consumers getting their act together.

And GDP is an interesting measure of stuff, but it is a really poor reflection of standard of living which I value a lot more than GDP measures or the stock market. In fact, losing or gaining a few points of global GDP isn't going to have any meaningful impact on folks living through humanitarian crises.
Well, it sounds like the author is 1) single and 2) above 30.

That's going to screen most "families" out of your social circle and that's a LOT of people. Most folks (tech and non-tech) start getting pressured to have families by the age of 30.

However, the whole premise of the article is that only being surrounded by techies is bad. Why?

Would he feel the same if he was only surrounded by musicians?

Some thoughts about that:

1. In the US, zoning laws discourage building things like the "mother in-law suite". These zoning laws were originally created as a way to get around federal laws prohibiting discrimination of race and sex by making it more difficult for people who can't afford housing to live within a certain neighborhood. Even if US residents wanted to add housing for some semblance of independence, zoning laws makes this difficult.

2. In the US, children are educated to become factory workers, and inegunity is deliberately suppressed. (See John Taylor Gotto's The Underground History of American Education).

3. When I look at Carol Sandford's work on regenerative business and regenerative life paradigms, I realized that people here in the US have been conditioned to think that being able to live independently is the mark of an adult. But that is an illusion. They are still largely treated like cogs, whether those are adults who are working full time jobs, or children in the compulsory school system.

4. In contrast, a regenerative business builds up the capability for each employee to figure out what they want to do that will make a meaningful contribution to the business and society in a way that aligns with the general direction the organization is going and the general strategy. Being able to do that gives a far greater sense of fulfillment, purpose, and agency to the people involved. It's as if every employee has the chance to be a mini startup within a larger organization, and the organization as a whole become more adaptive, resilient, without sacrificing being a responsible corporate citizen.

5. When I think about how that is applied to children, I am reminded by the NPR article about how indigenous families have children doing chores without resentment. (https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/06/09/6169288...) ... and then I realized that, it isn't really about chores. It is a way that children from indigenous families are encouraged to make meaningful contributions to family and community from a young age.

6. If your sense of self-worth and purpose is derived from making meaningful contributions to the family, community, and society, you're no longer pidgeonholed into the role of being a child. As such, I think a lot of the tensions and inter-generational drama we expect from adult children living with their parents is no longer there.
I don't have arrow keys on my board but I have something better: I have a special modifier that lets me use readline-style commands (C-n for down, C-p for up, C-h for backspace, C-d for delete etc...) anywhere without requiring the app to support it, since it sends the compatible down/up/backspace/delete/... keycode instead.

I finally don't have to worry about this or that program not supporting this or that binding, it's uniform everywhere.

You say that you already use hjkl (I assume?) in Vim, so clearly you have the muscle memory for that, why not extend it to all applications?

And there's so much more to programmable keyboards. Modifier keys that input characters when pressed on their own, allowing for dual function. Some people like remapping caps lock to control, others to escape. Why not both? My keyboard has a key that behaves like control when chorded and like escape when pressed on its own. The best of both worlds!

Is it unreasonable to expect someone being paid 300K a year to work more than an average of eight hours a day every once in a while?

It's hilarious how when there is a general article about developer productivity, the comments section is full of people claiming how programming is not like manual labor that you can do for eight hours straight, and that most work in bursts of a few hours of intense intellectual activity surrounded by taking time off.

How many software engineers can, hand to heart, claim honestly that they put in 8 full productive working hours day after day the way a cashier or warehouse worker does?

Really like the idea of not having to have a beefy PC off to the side. I'm an enthusiast, but also have a job, so the prospect of having to sort this aspect out represented a barrier to entry I wasn't willing to address.

On the negative side, the look of the device is still pretty "uncool". I think some lessons there could be learned from the PS4 VR.
In cosmology, "in the known universe" is always implicit. If the universe turns out to be flat and infinite, then whatever unlikely thing you can think of happens an infinite number of times in any infinitely small time period you care to mention.

Somewhere, in the field of infinity, a whale materialized above a Three Stooges convention and landed on a newly sentient petunia, an infinite number of times since you started reading this sentence.

Perhaps not in the known universe, sure, but somewhere. So "known" is always the implicit qualifier, but it'd be a pain in the neck to diligently write "known universe" every single time when the people familiar enough with the material to note the distinction also understand that's what you meant anyway.

Contact football even if restricted to people 150lb and below is STILL dangerous. It’s not the weight disparity which is partly how I read that. It’s that the force that even 120lb people generate is enough to cause concussions amongst people the same weight.

After college a bunch of lightweight kids from high school would get together and play football. Two straight meetings ending in concussions ended that. We were virtually all less than 150lb.

Yes. If pointers are integers, you can cast an integer (let's say 1234) to a pointer, which happens to be the address of x. It is a legitimate way to obtain the address of x if pointers are integers, so compilers must assume this can possibly happen.
I read a good article years ago about microsoft and philosophical struggles with backwards compatibility.

Here was an interesting bit:

> I first heard about this from one of the developers of the hit game SimCity, who told me that there was a critical bug in his application: it used memory right after freeing it, a major no-no that happened to work OK on DOS but would not work under Windows where memory that is freed is likely to be snatched up by another running application right away. The testers on the Windows team were going through various popular applications, testing them to make sure they worked OK, but SimCity kept crashing. They reported this to the Windows developers, who disassembled SimCity, stepped through it in a debugger, found the bug, and added special code that checked if SimCity was running, and if it did, ran the memory allocator in a special mode in which you could still use memory after freeing it.

They seem to take the exact wrong message from the history. The complaints about Simulmatics are sheer anti-intellectualism, saying that doing it by hand is aokay but using math and suddenly you are the next Hitler. They take a scolding "You should have learned from this!" tone yet their precedent suggests the opposite conclusion and really implies the objectors are hysterical idiots.
Agreed. It still feels very much like it's focused on something like wordpress with the sync features so prominent.

It's a good advice, but non-believers would have a hard time joining a church. As an atheist European living in NYC, I attended a couple of religious meetings (I was dragged there by a friend and thought it would be interesting).

Just some data points from the UK, not disagreeing with the parent comment.

Lending to the company is useful as an alternative to posting a large amount of _initial_ share capital, which you might simply not have, or not want to declare at first. For example, if you have a main job, and you are starting a company for a side project (to give it clearer legal structure or other benefits of incorporation), and don't have savings to put in. Rather than wait until you've saved up, you might start the company with minimal share capital, then add project funding over time from your main job salary by way of directors loan rather than issuing more shares and all the complications that go with that.

In the UK it's simpler, especially for small, short term director loans:

- When lending to the company, the terms don't have to be those a third party would agree to. It's ok to be interest-free, or to charge interest. If charging it's personal income for the director and personally taxable as interest, and a taxable business expense to the company For a one-person, 100% owned company it will generally be favourable to not charge interest, as well as simpler to document. A drawn up contract is of course advisable, especially for loans with interest, to document what's going on especially for authorities, but it can be a simple one.

In one-person companies it's common to lend to the company as a side effect of other things, for example deferring an agreed salary payment, dividend, or sale of property into the company posted to the loan account instead of paid as cash.

- When borrowing from the company, below £10k and for a strictly limited timing relative to the company accounting year, a director can borrow interest-free without involving taxes (as long as it doesn't follow a pattern that would be deemed an advance on salary instead, then there would be tax/NI implications).

- Otherwise, if insufficient interest "hidden payment" can occur, which we call "benefit in kind", and it's dealt with legally by paying tax on an amount you or your accountant can calculate. Helpfully, an agreeable interest rate is formally specified by the tax authorities; if it's paid there's no benefit in kind to worry about anyway. There is no need to evaluate and document what a third party might agree to.

In practice, the smaller type is not uncommon, and can even occur by accident, for example if a director mistakenly pays for something personal on a company card, that's recorded as DLA until it's paid back or covered by something else.
What do you think C99 adds that's so important? The only thing that comes to mind is declaring dynamic arrays in which the length is known at the call of the function on the stack. But using malloc isn't so hard regardless.

I haven't programmed in C in over 10 years though, so I could be missing something.
You could do it half-way, like the Transmeta chips, having an MMU for data only. Code doesn't need an MMU if it is relocatable, if it is installed as one big blob like busybox, or if it is the result of a trusted JIT.
To make things a bit more fair I'd definitely allow that plenty of business-types do get it, but I think enough don't that treating them all like they do before you know them fairly well is probably a bad move, career-wise, especially if you're not senior and important-enough to thrive despite pissing some of them off. Enough either don't understand or don't want honest estimating that the best you can really do is play the game wisely and hope it goes OK, until/unless you develop a rapport with a "good" one. I'd further admit that being one of the "good" ones may not actually be that useful in a business-type, overall, especially so far as their personal career prospects. They're just... to be approached differently.

Are you familiar with Pulumi?

It does away with the notion that you need serialized yaml files, although in its current incarnation it can produce them, and instead runs programs which generates collections of named (and hierarchically defined) resources which can then be "applied" as a batch.

It uses lazy values to generate a directed graph to determine the order for creating and tearing down resources as well as safely propagate configuration outputs and secrets.
