I think supporting an explicit (large) page size addresses your concern. It’s not that you want to make four separate requests, it’s that you want the backend to give you more than a tiny amount of data. If you’re going to induce you the 400 results of loading on the backend, backend implementators may as well give you all the results in one go (assuming the output fits in whatever request/response limits you have).

I definitely agree that just having opaque page tokens without the ability to say “I want up to 100” leads to needless pain for clients and overall system inefficiency.

All senior developers I know make significantly more than 51000.

Yeah, other people in other countries make more money, and it was a competition for who is richest when they die, Sweden would really suck. But I really enjoy my life here, and I don’t plan to wait until I retire to do that. (And I lived abroad for five years, including 2 years in the US, so I have something to compare with).
We have kept Italian and Russian honey bees in our suburban backyard. Both came out of their hive, flew up 20 feet and left the yard, and even the neighborhood we think, most of the day. Stable base, near a source of water, and in the sun worked best for them not swarming on us. A lawn mower bumping into a stand meant 20 mins of angry bees, then back to business. Moving the hive on a pole would make me nervous for 20 minutes.

What killed two hives outright (we think) are lawn services going after mosquitoes in the neighborhood. Didn’t kill them but weakened the hive. They were subsequently taken over by fire ants and small hive beetles, each time after a split.

Bee keeping is so easy and fun and can be done through the mail. I agree with you, duke, if we could solve for allergies, beekeeping could easily be as commonplace as growing tomatoes.
Surely, you mean IRC, the IETF-standardized open unencumbered simple protocol with hundreds of established libraries and clients...
The sheer number of "why we switched from Mongo to Postgres" blog posts is astounding, since all or most of the reasons typically cited would have been just as valid for not using in Mongo in the first place, all the way back to 2010.

These blog posts amount to a bunch of people not only admitting incompetence, but apparently lacking even the self-awareness to realize that that's what they're doing.
This reminded me of a proof of concept thing I wrote months ago, that facilitates this kind of work.

https://github.com/casidiablo/macondo

I don't even know what it is I built, but it has been useful in some contexts.

It basically allows you to easily wrap and distribute scripts (or more complex apps) that have specific dependencies that might not always be installed in the host. It does so by wrapping the script in a docker image.

It also automates the annoying part of docker: mounting local paths for apps that need to interact with the host's file system.

I need to write a blog post on this if anything to gather feedback. I'm still not 100% sold on the idea and there are some edge cases. Still, a fun experiment.
> I agree, I will collect these into an article some day

To be clear, I was not encouraging you to do this. (I'm not discouraging it either. I'm ambivalent.)

I just enjoy seeing people use media in new/unanticipated ways.

(That said, Twitter threads suck beyond a certain size (sixish). This is especially the case if the author intentionally decomposed an entire blog post/article into a sequence of 140-byte chunks. Write a fscking post/article and link to it from a Tweet; perhaps with a couple of threaded pull quotes.)

One possible explanation for why the DKE is biased towards incompetence is any bias that derives from favorably redefining a problem. Over achievers don’t need to redefine a problem set to more narrowly qualify their performance.

For example an expert JavaScript developer can quickly produce an MVP with an original code solution. A less competent (confident) developer might also be able to produce a similar MVP but only in certain contexts, such as requiring a particular framework. The less competent developer may refer to themselves as an expert developer in React, or whatever other framework, but in doing so redefines the problem to fit a more narrow context not immediately aligned to the product.
It's one of the biggest lies in tech right now, that all this user data is some untapped gold mine, as if text on the internet is the most important measure of human behavior. It's all going to end up rotting on backups while the marketing department spins yarns about the amazing AI that's going to spring forth any day now from a pile of tweets.

It's like trying to build a dog by hanging around the park collecting turds.

I’m storing data from a game’s api where each object has an unknown number of unique attributes. Each attribute can have a different type of data, including a nested structure. Additionally, each object’s data is subject to change massively between different versions of the game.
> From the document: "An added benefit of the increase in electronic payments is the reduction of shadow economy. Each year trillions of Euro flow in the shadow market unregulated and untaxed, leading to long term deficits. Traceability of electronic payments is much better than with cash, leading to more information on the flow of money. This information can be used to reduce tax evasion and make regulation easier, in turn reducing the shadow economy"

That is an observation, not a policy thought up by politicians working at the Parliment.

>This "third-party document" shit is a really embarrassing excuse. Can't the EU apologists think of something better?

It is a study for politicians to take better decicions not policies to be implemented, for that you want to read the things like the meeting minutes not supporting analysis.

>Anyways, this document is one of many, it's just the first I had a link to. The same points (and other, even more concerning ones) are made in many more.

I would welcome linking to more, as long as they are not just studies, although interesting reading they do not dictate the policy.

>Sure, just like the encryption backdoors are for the children, for the democracy and especially for transparency. Take these democratic values with you, I am not interested. The EU is really efficient in showing us why is democracy wrong.

Well I am also welcoming more information about this as it sounds like something I want to read up on. The EU may be inefficient, and it could be a lot better, which is why I would welcome a discussion about it instead of making accusations without providing any sources to base your claims on.
> I am (very slightly) more surprised that they still think Facebook advertising is a good (in the sense of "effective") use of their money, given all that has come out in the last few months about how poorly targeted FB's supposedly targeted advertising is

Would love to learn more about how "poor" this targeted advertising is, considering most SMBs use digital advertising by Google/Facebook to reach the customers they want.
I don’t know enough about various -isms, but I would posit there is some space between “redistributing all wealth and no individual benefits” and “every man for himself”.

Unless you're fluent in reading and speaking Japanese, don't move here. It's a nightmare. Pick a country where you know the language. And consider renouncing your citizenship to avoid taxes if you have the prospect of attaining new citizenship.
Sounds like you might have an interesting take on what creates a conspiracy theorist? I don't meet many in my life (and I don't follow any, like you), but it seems they are becoming ubiquitous.
Someone lying about corruption or the capability of the government to do any good, obviously.

But see my prior comment.
The thing I find sad is that there are people who realized that they are a mismatch for their position, not always because it is too high but sometimes because it is on the wrong track. Making the change is usually very difficult, as companies do not see "demotion by the demoted" as something normal.

A case I witnessed was a VP of Engineering who realized (after many years at that position, performing well) that he is more an engineer than a manager. His results were good but he did not like the work he was doing because his true talents were under-utilized.

He wanted to move to a position where he would have a more "technical" role, on the official "technical ladder" but it was very difficult for him to make his point. He liked the company very much though (in Europe).

I did not know what to really tell him at the time, I wish I had some good arguments for him to help his case.

One of the key things is that he did not want to change the company - he loved it, he loved what they did; he just took the wrong turn at some point.
The flip side is forced culture. Watch some videos of corporations making workers sing and essentially peer pressure everyone in participating was cringeworthy.

Some people just want to go to work and do their job.
> The partial order of intervals, where any overlap means equality, is perfectly respectable

Not really, since then it wouldn't be an equivalence relation. Equality in mathematics is weird, but whatever it is in a given context, it's always an equivalence relation.
While I agree with the sentiment in the abstract, I see no reason why a party like the Republicans provides any meaningful contrast or check on this complacent and corruption. It’s entirely possible for both parties to be bankrupt and awful, just dishonestly maneuvering however they can to take power.

The only real check on power of from bottom-up accountability to one’s constituents, which the two party system in the US makes more difficult and has otherwise been almost entirely eroded by elections being private (vs. publicly) funded. Primaries are one of the few remaining vestiges of accountability in American democracy and have been used successfully by both the left and right to enforce it.
I agree! I love reading the graffiti.

I highly recommend seeing Herculaneum if you're ever in the area. It's very impressive to see all this up close. We really haven't changed that much.
Among my FB friends I've seen a ring of acquaintances in the same MLM like and comment on each other's posts to fake engagement and excitment. In real life it might be more obvious when the plant in the room is being overly enthusiastic, but on facebook it might pass as real at first glance.
Although reducing speed and fuel usage reduces fuel costs, it increases fixed costs (you need more ships for the same throughput) as well as operating costs like crew. It might turn out to still be more expensive in the end. Then there's the problem of less certainty about price changes if you have to wait longer for the product to be delivered which leads to inefficiency (over/under-supply if mispredicted). There's also the opportunity cost of money being tied up for longer in the delay between production and consumption.
Having your entire life shut down, through no fault of your own, by some entire remote country you have no dealings or relationship with and no power to fight, is a first world problem?

Even in the thirdest of third worlds, people have some sort of shop which is their families livlihood, which could be taken away and destroyed, and which would be devastating.

This insensitivity sure is first world though.
FATCA is an agreement signed between countries, not between the US and foreign banks. The US certainly has more leverage with the USD than the EU with the EURO but trade agreements are made of various things and the US cannot simply bully the EU and Asian countries with FATCA indefinitely. I can't wait to see how this plays out in the next 10 years.
Love Art or Product as well. Derrick is doing an amazing job.
Being an entrepreneur myself, I do think that we have to be a bit eccentric to be able to handle the pressure of running a company, no matter how big or small. I personally also think of myself as someone who cares a lot about himself (selfish/self centered??) but I try to channel that in a positive way. For example, I am so self centered sometimes that I know what my goals are and I will not let anyone keep me from it. That means saying NO to a lot of people including family. It however does sometimes means that I am ignoring other people around me and I have to always try and find a balance.

Having said all this, I never want/try to hurt anyone or hurl personal abuse. I do try to be direct and blunt at times which can come off as aggressive. But that's how I roll and I cannot sugarcoat things. Sometimes it works against me. As a CEO, I have fired a lot of people over the last few years and I never enjoy doing it even though I have to be direct about it.

Am I a sociopath/Narcissist ? You be the judge.

"A lot of people think the word commando means super-hero, or at least something close to it. In the popular mind, they're thought of as the ultimate elite soldier, the solution to every problem. The fact is, a commando is just someone trained to fight under a specific set of circumstances. He's the guy you send in when there are more bad guys than good guys, when surprise is the only advantage you can get in an operation. When it works, commandos seem unstoppable. Those are the operations that make the papers. When it doesn't work, commandos get killed just as dead as anyone else."
Given that is what the person is doing, that is likly what they are trying to do.
Most of the times when I do things, I do it cause I want to do it, not cause I did an opsie.
I would modify the section on root causes. It's not a fundamentally bad idea to look for root causes (plural). It's essential to not stop at immediate causes. More or less, you start at immediate causes and then recursively go deeper until you get to things that cannot be changed and/or are not within your control.

One real danger is believing in a root cause or the root cause (singular) as if there is only one. The desire to only have to change (or understand) one thing is dangerous because it leads you to stop investigating/analyzing as soon as you have found something to blame it on.

As you go deeper through the chain(s) of causes, you also should not focus exclusively on the last (root) because that means you aren't thinking about defense in depth.

TLDR, follow the chain of causes all the way to its ends, realize it may have multiple ends, and don't focus only on the surface stuff or only on the root stuff.
>unlicensed commercial drone flight.

That's incredible. Why does this specifically need a license? How is this going to be any different to just flying as a hobby?
Might also be a side effect of the desire to live an urban lifestyle. Throughout my 20s and 30s I saw large numbers of fellow young urban workers cycle through a circuit of city centers, moving every two or three years. Seattle, DC, Austin, Portland, Chicago, Atlanta, and on they'd go. Dealing with purchasing and selling a home every couple of years is a huge hassle and unless you're savvy about selecting the right area with increasing property values each time, transaction costs can end up eating up a good bit of wealth. It's much easier to sign a lease and then decide to renew it or not depending on if you want to move on to the next metro that year.

Most of us are in our 40s now and regardless of family formation have found an area to settle down in. Perhaps Millennials will follow a similar pattern once they've been through the circuit of cities and found the one that fits them best.
I think you’re fighting straw men here, but a worker whose focus is on metrics/people sounds like a good definition of a manager.
Yeah I'm not defending AOC here. The whole system is a mess.

This whole 'get out to vote' nonsense is just voting for the same corrupt crap with special interest groups winning and citizens off in the corner getting some crumbs.
> His job was to make python script to make devs happy. I've never heard of that before.

That's kind of nice.

Once a project grows a certain size if you have the budget for it it's cool to have a dedicated small team that takes care of the dev environment (maintaining the build and test pipeline, adding static analysis and making sure there's some working default config for at least one IDE). Also take care of the commit hooks and helps out when migrating language and tool versions.
Fair enough. My main work experience is at a smaller startup that has a heavy focus on collaboration so my opinion is biased towards that. In my experience trivial things can be solved with a slack message/call but I greatly prefer in-person interaction for more in-depth debugging, etc. But I understand how that’s not necessarily applicable to all situations.

My main concern, and the reason I posted the above comment, is I think companies may over -correct with hybrid work models. For those that prefer office work a hybrid work model is barely better than a remote-only culture; the office loses its benefits when everyone isn’t there. I’m not arguing these remote-only/remote-first cultures shouldn’t exist - in many cases they provide large advantages - but think there will be a significant desire for office-only environments for those that prefer office work.

Nobody really knows the answer to this.

If we know reading simple stuff works, but reading scientific papers a child can't possibly understand only might be OK, then why would you do the latter?
Thank you. Why on earth would one wish to bind these commands to their own containers? Or was that just a trivial example for illustrative purposes that I’m obsessing over?
That example looks like it's working directly with RGB, which I expect to be correct. I've also seen it work well in HLS. But I worked on a tool where we were told to change from HLS to CIELab because it would be better, and it turned out to be much worse in practice.

Calling it cultural doesn't make sense to me, considering every difference you pointed out was based on the language's support for macros. C macros are a text generation hack from 40 years ago, lisp macros are a first class citizen, python metaprogramming is supported first class but hard to debug because of python's debugging tools. It's easy to see that the problem isn't "cultural," but the language's design and tooling.
Actually, we also have RCV for our electoral college votes in the presidential election, as of 2020.
It's not true to say they necessarily don't use any of the services. The US still defend its citizens abroad, and might evacuate you in case some disaster happens, do hostage rescue using the full power of its military and intelligence agencies, and will generally provide consular help and speak on your behalf should you get into trouble.
Yes, that also fits my observations of such arguments.
> There’s probably more lead in the electronics you use.

Probably not, ever since RoHS in 2002 lead has all but disappeared from electronics. Even though it’s an EU law, most suppliers have just decided to only provide RoHS-compliant parts, and PCB manufacturers only have options for RoHS-compliant solder.

The amount of lead in an electronic is probably measured in grams, and only if the device was manufactured prior to 2005 or so.

In Canada, we handed out CA$ 2000 per month to the unemployed with our CERB program for several months:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_aid_during_the_COVID-1...

> This would naturally stimulate some sales but do absolutely nothing beneficial in the long run because the rest of us will have to pay for it eventually.

Define "rest of us". The UK is still rolling forward debt from the 1700s and 1800s:

* https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/oct/31/uk-first-wo...

* https://www.theguardian.com/business/blog/2014/oct/31/paying...

Unless your government has run budget surpluses sometime in its history, then the debt you have accumulated has probably never been paid off, but simply rolled forward. This generally isn't a probably as long as economic growth is higher than interest rates, which for AU look to be quite low:

* https://ca.investing.com/rates-bonds/australia-government-bo...

And interest rates have been (generally) falling for Western European countries for 700 years (with some gyrations):

* https://www.visualcapitalist.com/700-year-decline-of-interes...

So it's probably cheaper to pay off old debt with new debt. In Canada for example, even though we had an unprecedented CA$ 340B deficit, our total debt servicing costs will be lower over the next few years.

What “misunderstandings and confusions”? I’m sorry you’re frustrated to learn that you’ve been spreading pseudoscience, but it’s important to combat misinformation.

Horoscope enthusiasts also think horoscopes have been “helpful to them personally”, because it supports their preconceived biases. Doesn’t mean they’re not bunk.
Completely agree with this statement. It's just human nature. I come from a third world country where bribery and corruption is a way of life and everyone just accepts it. When I moved to the US I thought that problem doesn't exist since it's a developed country and things seem to function smoothly. It took me a few years to realize how mistaken I was. Corruption and bribery just happen in a more "legal" (ex: lobbying), "organized" and "clean" manner :)

I guess that is one features Github should "try" and work. Somewhere that users can express their gratitude ( in a non subtle way ) Sometimes it isn't just a dollar of sponsor, but people explaining what problem they had, how it help them, and notes of thanks.

Working from home as a parent is awesome actually ... if there’s another parent or nanny also at home who takes primary responsibility for the kid. That is how it should be, at least for young kids. Obviously with COVID, it’s not safe or affordable for some families to do this, but if you can afford daycare for another arrangement for your kid while you are in the office, you can afford daycare for your kid while you work from home.
