For now yeah but the tides are changing everywhere. Europe (and the US) fought facism, so we had a period of time where politics where mostly shades of purple/blue/red. Now facism is on the rise again, and we're seeing that across Europe, from Spain with Vox to Sweden with "Sweden Democrats". With the rise of these parties, you're seeing more and more of excommunication, as being tolerant of intolerance will only lead to more intolerance, not tolerance.
Huh, I wouldn't have thought that Twitter is happy on Christmas. Then again, I wouldn't have expected that Twitter is ever happy.

Although words like "merry" probably influence the result quite a bit without giving a feedback on real happiness. Otherwise nice graph and I see that issues with phrasing are planned in the future.

Wondered how the name hedonometer came about, but it apparently was already used in the 19th century to describe devices that measure happiness. So on that front, nice domain!

The smart thing to do is to "respectfully" disagree and make sure you never speak or attend this or a related event now or in the future or to work with any of the individuals involved. Of course, personally I'd probably lose my temper and say some things I'd regret and tell way too many people about it.

I would say it's quite different, since you don't overwrite anything. Old patch sets are still available should you wish to roll back/reference either a particular commit, or a whole chain of commits.
I would agree that Spring has a lot of Bloat, but Spring Boot is not so bloated and frequently used for microservices with the Netflix libraries like Zuul, Hystrix, etc. There are libraries which are more lightweight of course but Spring Boot is very popular because it has libraries for a lot of use cases which you can add to your maven or Gradle dependencies

I agree with you right now, but think that Julia will end up dominating over the long-term, because dropping down into another language absolutely sucks for data scientists without engineering support.

Interestingly, R is probably a better UX for statisticians/data scientists than Python is (almost all the good parts of Numpy/Pandas were in R first), but it really suffers from not being well known by developers.

To be fair to R though, it's much, much easier to deploy than Python, which is a shocking indictment of the current Python packaging ecosystem.

Definitely these two:

1. Good writing is clear
4. Good writing is concise

Use a simple, reduced vocabulary, as your readers are likely to have English as a second language (e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-44569277). And as Richard Feynman pointed out, try explaining it to a child. If you can't go back and rewrite it.

Don't use (modern) slang, and avoid writing 'conversational' English.

It's "lessons" not "learnings". How much have you eaten? How many eatings have you had? Ugh.

Don't use 'ping' or 'reach out' (you're not the Four Tops).

And what on earth is "welp/whelp" that people have started using in the last couple of years? It's "well, for one thing..."
A while back I was faced with using whatever god-awful backwards-incompatible version of react-router to use, or instead to go for a routing solution that wasn't as insane. I don't remember what I picked, but I think it was page.js. Something that's been around forever. It was astounding to me how much it simplified the whole project. I truly can't figure out what react-router actually brings to the table, considering it's version history, compared to the myriad of alternatives.

That sounds like good advice overall, but Misconception #3, and it's dismissiveness towards business people seems a little too much.

Of course you don't _need_ a business person in the team, but recommending to go without one is basically playing the game in hard mode (and exactly the opposite advice you would give a normal tech company). I'd even rate it as more important in a biotech setting to have a good business person on board where the funding power dynamics are stacked even more against you than in normal tech.
Why do you need a Code of Conduct to prevent people acting like jerks? If someone acts like a jerk tell them to stop, and if they don't, take action. IMO you don't need it enshrined in a dodgy pseudo-contract. That's a recipe for more problems than it solves.

I actually think that from a programming perspective, Julia is much closer to R than Python, because of the focus on generic functions rather than objects as a means of abstractions.

It's still a little too wild-west for my tastes right now, but I want it to improve as I think it's got real potential.

The outdated wikipedia page for WiMAX[0] has been updated with the uncited statement:

The latest version of WiMAX, WiMAX release 2.1, popularly branded as/known as WiMAX 2+, is a backwards-compatible transition from previous WiMAX generations. It is compatible and interoperable with TD-LTE.

Does this mean that WiMAX 2.1 can talk to an original WiMAX network also also talk to an unrelated TD-LTE one as well?

I often find myself using the phrase when something clearly is a matter of opinion rather than an absolute fact. I'm not going to say "I think the earth is a spheroid." But I might say "I think we're going to see more heterogeneous computing." But it's mostly an anti-pattern and I often edit them out when I'm writing.
Studying media history and theory is useful, all the more so when you realise that a major component of the high (information) technology sector is really just the current leading edge of a long history of media and communications.[1] I've compiled a bibliography (and am still working through it myself):

The era of principled professional journalism began afteer Walter Lippmann published Public Opinion in 1922 and arguably peaked in the 1970s in the U.S. Its decline has been accelerating through the Internet era, notably following the 2007-8 Global Financial Crisis, and possibly facing its death knell with the Covid Depression.

I don't think geysers really exist under the sea. The pressure would keep steam from forming and therefore stop a pressure build up. Every geothermal feature I have seen under the ocean has been a steady stream of superheated fluid. As an example, I took a temperature reading on one black smoker and it was 320°C and still fluid.
Cmdr. Riker clearly thought so, because he literally did it. He did not like doing it, but it’s not clear to me if that’s out of a sense of respect for his friend, or because he thinks it hurts Data’s case: “And, now, a man will turn it off.”

But, when he stops to smell the (literal) roses, does he enjoy it? In Time’s Arrow (Part 1), he mentions that he misses people when they are gone. His “neural pathways have grown accustomed to [their] sensory input,” and he misses the experience of seeing them.

I would argue that if he can miss people, he should be able to, at least, appreciate the sensory inputs from smelling the roses.
>>> Businesses stacking an impossible list of responsibilities on one person until they burn out and leave

From that and your whole post, I'd take a guess that you are a top contributor easily getting more and bigger projects.

My advise would be to stop getting more responsibilities. It has to be done by your end, you need to not do anything more.

There's some more work coming up? Don't take it, don't get involved in email threads about the new projects/tasks. They will find somebody else to do the work. They want you to be oncall after hours? Don't do it, phone is off.

Good fast workers are a magnet attracting more and more work until they burn out under the load. Look around you and notice people doing no more than they are required to, learn from them, it's the only way to last more than a few years at any place.

The question supposes that robot consciousness is satisfactorily defined, which is the real source of ambiguity. That is, the answer to the question of how to treat robot consciousness is rooted in how we determine the robot is conscious in the first place. (Such as, is it necessarily volatile? Temporal?

Colorspaces are an issue with scaling/averaging, but it's not what's happening here.
Well they're different, right?

R provides an interface to dataframes and matrices, whereas numpy is just for matrices (and their generalisations, arrrays). I think the appropriate comparison is between base R and Numpy + pandas. (FWIW, I agree with your major point, but then I learned R first so that may be biasing me).
> As a conservative she should value free speech more than that.

That's just a current talking point, not an intellectually consistent part of the Trumpist (which I would argue isn't conservative anyway) platform.

You can't go to the police for someone making racist or sensitive insults. The problem isn't the CoC concept, because there exists a domain of actions that strictly speaking are legal but warrent expulsion from a professional community. The problem here is gross overreach and power without democratic control.
Microservices will add latency because network calls are much slower than in-process calls.

Microservices, as an architectural choice, are most properly chosen to manage complexity - product and organizational - almost by brute force, since you really have to work to violate abstraction boundaries when you only have some kind of RPC to work with. To the degree that they can improve performance, it's by removing confounding factors; one service won't slow down another by competing for limited CPU or database bandwidth if they've got their own stack. If you're paying attention, you'll notice that this is going to cost more, not less, because you're allocating excess capacity to prevent noisy neighbour effects.

Breaking up a monolith into parts which can scale independently can be done in a way that doesn't require a microservice architecture. For example, use some kind of sharding for the data layer (I'm a fan of Vitess), and two scaling groups, one for processing external API requests (your web server layer), and another for asynchronous background job processing (whether it's a job queue or workers pulling from a message queue or possibly both, depends on the type of app), with dynamic allocation of compute when load increases - this is something where k8s autoscale possibly combined with cluster autoscaling shines. This kind of split doesn't do much for product complexity, or giving different teams the ability to release parts of the product on their own schedule, use heterogeneous technology or have the flexibility to choose their own tech stack for their corner of the big picture, etc.
I like how this whole thread highlights just one of the problems of SPA's. It's not exactly an endorsement!

Yes, I very much agree: the rebase-based workflow is what makes Gerrit superior to all other systems I've tried (of which I find Github and Bitbucket particularly loathsome).

I felt I needed to correct you because with Gerrit you reserve the concept of force pushing for exceptional cases, which I think is the correct mental model. Force pushing should not be done frivolously.
> this was a contributing factor to the famines and wars of 1350-1400.

I feel like you need to mention the black death in this same sentence though, as the nobility population change would arguably be a lesser factor in thrall to that massive event.

It does certainly paint an interesting aftermath as the black death suddenly made life a valuable commodity leading to a small period of time where worker's rights and even in some cases women's rights were improved. Considering that against a backdrop of indignant nobles is entertaining ponder-thought.

The Great Famine was 1315ish, were you thinking of that instead?
I'm not sure how brainy I am. Perhaps the main reason I came across that way in school is because my mom taught me to read early.

In any case, no one in the lower-end workplace has been particularly interested in what brains I do have, or (apparently) anyone else's around me. It's all about how you can fit into the local pattern, which is often suboptimal yet resistant to change. Meanwhile, everything interesting/challenging I might have liked to work on is already being worked on by someone else, who is probably doing a better job than I would have-- so the chances seem low of me making a useful contribution. To say nothing of barriers to entry constantly & furiously being erected.

The main danger to me with regard to the question in the title seems to be the realization that despite what I was told as a child, I am pretty obviously redundant and unnecessary. Not needed. The world has enough brainy people already. There is little for me to do but try to care for those in my immediate vicinity as best I can and wait out my time.

Yes? Companies do this all the time with codes of conduct and nobody really thinks twice about it.

We do this all the time, even in our actual legal system.

"Disturbing the Peace" is one example off the top of my head of something that's incredibly subjective that we consider the purview of the legal system.

With all due respect, I don't think the question is "how do we simplify SPAs?"; I think the question is "why do we need to run any app in a browser?" Look at the work associated with the "Next Billion Users" project [1]. Most of our assumptions about how-and-why are merely based on luck-and-whim. We didn't arrive at SPAs through some elaborate Grand Design. I just don't understand what a web application offers that cannot be had with a straight client-server application. Are walled gardens and app stores really tyranny when the garden is limited to a certain company/domain? For example, if my bank offers a client-server app that is walled off from the rest of the Internet, should I consider this stifling? If I was working for this bank and developing their client-server app, should I consider this a step back in my career?
