Maybe try finding an open-source project you are interested in and contribute to it? It might energize you and let you re-connect with whatever you originally were looking for in a job.

It might morph into a side-project, but either way its something you can keep going even while working at a regular job, and then the job might be less of a make-or-break proposition.

Since PEP 591 [1], if using mypy with Python 3.8+ or the typing_extensions module, you can also take advantage of typing.Final, which lets you statically verify something isn't changed. The catch is that it isn't enforced at runtime.

Plastics and polymers certainly aren't going away anytime soon so its not like a renewable energy world would just kill them. I don't expect plastic production to actually contract until long after we have made the grid renewable/sustainable and have extra energy for active carbon sequestering. Disposable plastic from grocery bags and simple wrappers are easy to reduce and eliminate but how many consumer devices are made of just metal or wood now and aren't 95% plastic? Plastic is still replacing tons of metal piping and ducts and on cars and everything else. When is the last time anyone has seen a wooden handled screwdriver for sale?

I remember using odd/unprintable characters in those BBS games for my username. There was one (spacewars?) where you got a bounty, but had to type in the characters name to claim the bounty, people would complain they could not collect the bounty against me, as my name was basically brk[null character].
But they're not complaining about the software, they're complaining about being forced to use it.
I don't think so. The boards are vertical and they don't look like 19" wide.
I agree with what you say. I didn't mean to say that the the population growing is the actual problem. I mean to say that lack of resources is the problem. (Too lazy to create a link)
https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/planet-earth/state...

We would still consume too much resources even with population decline.

Sure, lets say we fix climate change. I think the only viable way to actually do that is for everybody agree to live as people did a few hundred years ago.

People seems to believe that we can solve climate change with technology. I think that's a pipe dream.

I also think that it's a pipe dream thinking that the world will band together and "solve" the climate crisis together. I think Covid-19 has showed us that humanity does not band together in a crisis, each country and even each individual will use the crisis to make moves to benefit them.

And it doesn't matter what you do as a individual, most resources are consumed by large corporations anyway.
Moreover, traditional pre-Vatican II Catholic teaching (and I mean traditional) says that remaining celibate in the priesthood or in religious life is superior.

This is one of the reasons for the evisceration of convents following vatican II. Whereas before women who entered the convent were seen as holy, and in a superior vocation to the laity, Vatican II 'laicized' them and made them like everyone else. Without the special status, the women left.

It's quite far reaching. For example, Mother Abbesses would be considered on par with bishops in terms of their 'position' in the hierarchy, and could even hear confessions from her subjects, even if she could not impart the sacraments.

People think Vatican II elevated the position of women in the church, but it didn't. It elevated the position of married women, in the same way it elevated the position of married men, who were heretofore considered to be in an inferior vocation to both priests and nuns and brothers.

Note the inferiority/superiority is of the vocation, not of the person. All persons are equally unworthy of God's grace, but he gives it anyway.
Maybe. They could be fearing being disliked, estranged, or an argument for having the "wrong" beliefs. (Politics, religion, computer languages.)

Much like gossip, politics is pack violence and order by other means, and is usable by people who have less physical power but more social influence. If you don't have either physical and social power, then you're dismissed as not a threat and ripe to be stepped-on. Gossip is often a political attack technique to take-down a physically-strong leader.
Lobbying is bad when it helps a single company at the expense of tens of millions of citizens. The situation is far more objective than you're pretending.
Some code is intended to last, potentially a very long time, and has to be separable from history metadata. If for no other reason, git trees can get really big. I had a large monorepo at an old job with some code dating back to the mid 80s and it took 10 minutes to clone because of all the history. When we finally gave up on Kiln, years after its own developers abandoned it, we migrated only the code and not the history. After that, you could clone the entire repo in 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes.

They key is you want to be able to do something like that without losing crucial information. So anything that absolutely has to be there to understand what code is doing should be directly embedded in the code, that is, it needs to be a comment, not a commit message.
I find it very hard to believe that Nintendo, especially Nintendo of that era, would have offered him a job to lead a team.

I think it is pretty clear based on his behavior and the things he has said that he has some very serious issues. I won't discount his talent, he clearly has talent and skill, though he hasn't made good on a lot of the promises he made and boasted of.

My sincerest hope is that he would get the help he needs and use it to focus his energy and talent into his projects because as it is I don't think there will ever be anything resembling his original vision formally released, and that is a shame for everyone.
> In the US, at least, air conditioning is somewhat common from what I know.

I think you are misinformed. Some areas have it for sure, but in some very large population areas like the Pacific Northwest (say, 20M people), it is very rare. I know that 0 of the houses in my neighborhood have AC originally. [1] Any AC that someone has now was purchased in the last few days, and many people cannot afford to purchase a window unit or portable unit.

[1] This is knowable because nighttime sound has skyrcoketed. It used to much quieter at night here, but now, after 8pm or so when the car noise is less, you can hear the blasting of everyone's new window unit as it struggled to keep up.
Catholicism taught that celibacy is ideal until vatican II. Nominally, it still does.

That being said, marriage is still the only appropriate place for sex, and then only heterosexual sex, by church teaching. So both you and the one you replied to are correct.
The “brine” at the outlet pipe is just 2-3% saltier than the ocean water at the intake pipe. The impact is not zero, but it is very low if done right.
Totally agree that automation will never fully replace the value of human-powered testing. (Though it is great for the rote regression-testing stuff. The "drudgery", as you put it.)

Isn't the problem with relying too much on unit and integration tests that they don't consider the end-to-end app experience? (Which, in my mind, is what ultimately matters when customers think of "quality".)

This isn't technically accurate, we have access to abundant long term (multi-century) reserves of natural gas which can be used to provide power needed for desalinization. Nuclear is in no way a "blocker". Certainly, cost is a substantial barrier especially in less wealthy nations.
Would love to test it out! Have been evaluating Chamber (https://github.com/segmentio/chamber) to solve same/similar problem. But Leapp has UI(cool looking!), so it's an obvious advantage.

I think you are right about the refusal, though it might be nice if the Supreme Court could just outright say as much "We don't want to hear this now, argue in lower courts first"

Though I must say, what is strange to me about this refusal though, is that it is a case between states. How can the Supreme Court refuse to hear a case between two states? What other court is there to go to?
Ugh! --must stop speed-reading late at night, with tired eyes, on tiny mobile screen. I read that as "Orang-Utans Allowed to Pump Their Own Gas..." and the mind was temporarily boggled.

That's true from an engineering standpoint, but many of the places which are short of fresh water also lack the capital and industrial infrastructure to support large nuclear plants. Solar power seems more realistic from an economic and political standpoint, even if less efficient.
> It is much, much faster to ship the whole HTTP request where it needs to be

If you're already routing at the HTTP level then why not just route the request based on the HTTP method? (assuming the handlers for those are properly implemented.)

Why not just route a POST request to a backend connected to a writable database? And GET to a read-only database? I don't understand how it's any kind of an optimization to be continually bouncing queries out of the read-only replicas because Postgres threw an error.
It was, but the authors have an incentive to pretend it's novel, the press has an incentive to pretend it's novel, and the patent office has an incentive to pretend it's novel.
It's funny you chose that principle in particular because it does have an exception listed:

https://principles.dev/p/one-single-source-of-truth/

> Exceptions
> Highly distributed systems - Some systems rely on data consistency to be reached eventually or may never need to have accurate data.

I've written about exceptions here: https://principles.dev/documentation/#exceptions-optional

In general, exceptions should be quite broad and people can add these to the principles if they know of them.

They can also have higher priority "contradictory principles" which override the lower priority principles in certain cases.

Overlapping of principles create complex behavior so it is usually better to have a list of principles in priority order (this will be covered under emergent behavior in "principle-driven engineering") which can override the "single source of truth" principle.

An example might be: Engineers will know they should use single-source of truth, but as performance should be critical (or they have a specific business rule that states something must take less than 5ms) it will override that principle.

Does that answer your question or do you think it needs to be more refined than that?

I wonder if making the principles editable by the team would be a useful feature, so you'd be able to add your own exceptions to them for your particular use case.
I'm not a doctor so I wouldn't encourage anybody to do anything in terms of medical advice. What I would encourage people to do is to think for themselves and review all available evidence before taking any kind of medical treatment, and particularly treatments that have not completed Phase 3 FDA trials.

The evidence about coronavirus is quite, quite clear. There may be long-term severe effects of covid, just like there may be severe deleterious long-term consequences of the vaccines. So you must calculate your risk-benefit ratio and use that to elect whether to take the vaccines or not. For those that are worried about experimental vaccines, I absolutely encourage them to get more fresh air and sunlight--in fact, almost everyone would benefit in many ways from getting outside in the sun, getting fitter, and avoiding prolonged "lock downs" in their houses. (To boot, covid has never been observed in the scientific literature to be transmissible outdoors.)

Here's a peer-reviewed study from the Lancet from this month that shows just how short-term irrelevant covid is to those under age 40 who are reasonably healthy: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8...

For those under the age of 60, obesity is far and away the thing that makes covid dangerous, and if you're under age 40 and are not obese, the death rate is too low to be measured.

So from that, it seems clear to me: If you're under age 60, get fit (I already am, and getting fitter and fitter every day, which is oddly something never mentioned by the higher-ups at CDC or Pfizer or wherever, which is curious, wouldn't you say?). Get outside.

Effectiveness of the vaccine is irrelevant to me personally because for all people like me covid has thus far posed a risk profile similar to that of driving. Novel vaccine technology presents a totally unknown level of risk, and we've already observed plenty of healthy, young people get all sorts of negative outcomes from it. Plus, again, totally unknown long-term safety profile.

I'm curious why you're so against any kind of solution for covid that doesn't involve novel vaccines.
I agree 1000% that the unconsented use of someone’s image as training data or as a target match for facial recognition ought to be illegal, or at least as inadmissible in court as the statement “we had Joe review the footage, and he swears that the guy there in brown is his old college roommate’s friend Jimbo”

But matching against a govt-collected set (photo IDs for example), has well known precedent in fingerprinting.

I think requiring a judge to sign off is the right idea in principle, though in practice, I’d prefer it to be an open-records administrative function of the govt instead, in particular for cases where there is no known ID for the suspect.

To get a facial recognition done, you have to provide a video with enough context that shows someone committing a crime. That video is reviewed by the non-police administrative function, and then the request is either granted or denied.

Records are kept for later review and appeal, and are ideally public record, although I can certainly imagine cases (like porch pirates) where a public record of the video could open up an accuser (or an accused, for that matter) to later threats of harassment or violence.
I can't believe we forgot to try that.

Just vote, people.

Heavy sarcasm
If you are trying to persuade people to your point of view, I don't think this method works.

First, skimming the article for the causes of "heat dome" I am not seeing connections to climate change. Maybe I didn't read carefully enough so let me know but this could just be a "thing".

But more importantly, short of that connection it looks like you are trying to appeal to guilt and fear and that's just not something that attracts mentally healthy people. Nobody is interested in that emotion so if it's warranted you have to work much harder to make a case.

A company I worked for did that. Not really for geo-location reasons, but brand ones. People that worked for foobar got a @foobar address, and barfoo people got @barfoo. It was all owned by the same company, but the companies that got bought up kept their brands alive, and this was part of it.

I bounced around divisions, so I kept getting new logins. The old emails would forward to the new ones, but the logins would be sunsetted out as I no longer needed access to old projects. I actually don't know how the backend works, other than every time I need some permissions or something fixed, invariable the IT people get very confused by the mess, whatever it is.
People dying will not change the minds that need changing.

The people who profit from the current state of affairs need to be convinced to modify their plans. Perhaps there are other ways to persuade them, but fear of something worse than not profiting from their current investment plans is the only thing I can think of at this point.

I don't think this is advising you to spend all your time understanding the problem. Clearly, you can't ever have perfect information, and you can waste your time in analysis paralysis.

I read this post as saying that, given how product development is path-dependent, most people should do a lot more up-front discovery work than they are today.

What I mean is, it's empirically very rare for people to just throw away a bad idea: they're more likely to modify it, pile more features on to it, or just delude themselves into thinking it will work eventually. But, usually it doesn't.

We can say "be willing to throw it all away and start over when you learn new information", but in practice people don't do this. So, it might be more effective for most people to do, say, 50% more up-front work than they're already doing to de-risk their ideas before committing anything to them. It's clearly not a guarantee of success, just a way to improve your chances and save your own time.
I was a teenager visiting Computer Age on the weekends at the same time. It was a time when computer access was still scarce and you hung around shops and went to conventions just to get access to one. Some friends used to go to the tandy store each afternoon after school and type in a lunar lander game they had written on the tandy 100 for sale. Each day the shop would turn of all the machines and wipe the game so they would go back up the next day and type it in again.
This is a better argument for more fees on established brokerages rather than reducing this fee.
That can be true, and so is the idea that if you could not reap the rewards of your inventions, you wouldn't invest the effort because it could only be a cost sink. It's more nuanced and contextual than that. That said, the patent / trademark (probably any similar system) has up and down sides
>We are at the stage where attracting developers and scaring suits is probably good.

As a developer the way it was written scared me off. It reads like one of those recipe sites that game Google by adding a nonsensical story to the recipe. It seems like it took half the article to get to your "one trick". And ultimately you didn't deliver what the title teased.
I think you're pretty on point here; today human nuance is needed to decide WHAT to test as well as HOW MUCH to test. It's also useful for executing some types of tests too (which is why we support both automation, and human testing). IMHO Unit and integration tests should be a given. Human testers should be used with the highest leverage where possible. Being a functional-tester though, today is partly limited by what tooling is accessible to you - which we want to fix.

A practical understanding of the country's political messaging isn't the same thing as free-market ideology. I'm not especially free-market, but I recognize that poor messaging gets picked up by Fox News (for example) who beat their drum over and over and over again such that the underlying ideas have a huge uphill battle to fight.
There was a game called NUCDES by Erik Verheiden for the PDP-10. It was a fun multiplayer game. AFAIK, I'm the only one who remembers it :-(
I don't mean to be dismissive, but simple statistics. A record winter by itself is just a freak incident. As is a record hot summer. But what are the probabilities? One record cold day broken after 80 years? Improbable but not downright implausible. Year after year after year of record highs? Just coincidence?
And that is a valid argument that could lead to a discussion. Deliberately misinterpreting the word to pretend someone said they hate health and happiness is not.
The problem isn't that Intuit wants to charge something instead or nothing. The filing fee is not the harmful part. The problem is they can't directly ensure people use their service. But they can indirectly make it hard to file without using their service by lobbying against tax code simplications that would benefit most fillers.

Your argument makes it sound like you do not know what the issue in question actually is.

I like the idea of killing it and moving on without paging someone at 2AM in the middle of the night.

Ideally that goes into an async queue of issues though and someone finds the root cause and that goes into a queue of issues to fix, which is actually burned down.

I suspect what is happening more often is that the whole stack has so many levels and the SREs responsible for it all don't have the visibility into the stack they need to debug it all, so they use their SLOs as a club to ignore issues as long as they're meeting their metrics until it becomes a firefighting drill.

A pile of cargo culted best practices and SLOs replacing hands on debugging.
