The thing is, crabs and lobsters don't live in buckets naturally.

If you took two wild mammals and forced them to cohabit in a small area it would also very likely end in bloodshed.

Lobsters are known for having seasons in which they migrate. Even sources that say that crabs don't move a lot will describe that lack of movement as "will not exit a one mile area".

What makes this work is the PM stopped asking about it and let you do it. They stayed focused on the deliverable work and gave you and the team the freedom to work on these tasks as you saw fit.

It wasn't squeezed in only when there was room in the sprint, it may not have even been a formal part of the sprint to begin with.

The PM wasn't trying to fill up the entire sprint with everything they could fit that they wanted to deliver. That's not always the case.

> I think it's a mistake to ask non-experts to prioritize things they don't understand.

It is, but many PMs behave where they have to know what everyone is working on each day (standups) and it has to be what their priorities are as well (via the tickets in the sprint which they plan). This PM you worked with was more open. That's wonderful

When the cat is removed your car almost certainly violates noise ordinance, so it's undrivable unless you know someone quick with exhaust pipes and clips or a welder.

The federal estate tax exemption is still high, but state estate taxes are much lower, like a million to a million and a half. Anyone who has a decent 401k + house will have that on the east/west coasts. I had to help my folks make a trust so we don’t get double estate taxation last summer.

What GP is suggesting is more about push systems than pull. In a push system you'd have something like this:

a = 10
b = 20
c = a * b
s = "{c}"
widget.display(s) -- will show '200' at the start
a = 2 -- c = 40 and widget shows '40'

It's like a spreadsheet. In a pull system, each dependent would have to periodically update itself, which means they'd be doing unnecessary work when there haven't been changes, and be stale (for longer than necessary) when there have been changes.

You say that as if it's uncommon for protesters to be protesting on non-permitted roadways. I think it's quite common.

You've said the things I wanted to say, but much more succinctly.

Killing someone is something you can't undo.

Even if you truly believe that someone's life is forfeit for stealing something of yours, there's no time given for evaluating the facts.

A split second decision, a bad judgement call, and you find out that the person you shot and killed, is actually some innocent bystander running to get away from the robber.

Maybe they are the person robbing you, but your shots hit someone else who's in their own house.
From: https://amaca.substack.com/p/how-to-become-a-millionaire-wit... “Specialise in something that every company likes a lot. Avoid niche tech, go for huge popular things (eg. AWS, JS, Python, React).”

Not disagreeing, specialisation is for bald apes.

I know too many people with great technical chops, but they are held back from reaching their goals by other non-technical skill deficiencies.
Barely (it doesn't say anything about no building access).

In any case, if that is the point, it's better to say it that way, to talk about the distinction the article is making (like the sibling comment to the one I replied to) rather than saying "by definition" with some expectation that the conversation is being carried out with whatever precise set of definitions you've chosen.
The comparison between microservices vs monolith was too simplistic and should have mentioned how much harder it is to deal with inconsistencies and distribution when working microservices. You want to be a certain company size before going all in on microservices.
In my day job, I preface propositions a lot. It's important to define what is a fact beyond change, what is substantially supported by evidence, what I think, what I believe, and what I hope.

Overstating or understating my certainty prevents clients from making informed decisions. If I inflate our chances at trial, a client could end up receiving more punishment than necessary because he forgoes the benefit of a plea deal. If I err in the other direction, a client may give up on fighting against an allegation even if we have a decent chance at an acquittal. Either way would be a failure to serve my client's best interests.

Beyond my own clients, I am also supervisory counsel over five younger attorneys. If I inject false certainty into our discussions, there are major ethical implications. If it's bad enough, it could even constitute a crime.
I don't think so. People used to be a lot closer to the slaughter of their meat, much more aware of what was involved. And obviously they loved meat.

My uncle took me through his slaughterhouse when I was about 5. It was like a horror movie of screaming pigs, blood everywhere, heat, stench. Probably thought it would be fun for me to see, I don't know. I still love pork.
Isn't this paper discussing land use, and not environmental friendliness? Concerns such as the cost of transport are ignored here.
Market value is going to zero by getting 30 years old (probably more earlier), but it not mean that current residents don't live there. They would just live until die. 35yr loan is pretty common so the house must have 35yr life at least.

One of the most important regulation about houses is earthquake resistance standard. "New earthquake resistance standard" was made in 1985 so now is just after 36 year old. So maybe the market is going to change, along with the fact Japanese salary won't up much.
A main use is probably core count.

AKA sell parts for a lower cost with a low core count, and when people need more performance, let them turn the additional cores on. IBM has had this model on the mainframe for quite some time.

Intel gets the benefits of fewer valuable physical SKUs to manage inventory of at distributors... and of very high margin revenue later.
> If you want to publish a message, and you care what happens to that message downstream, things get complicated.

Definitely agree. The basic concept of Kafka is that the publisher doesn't care, so long as data isn't lost. If you need the producer to redo stuff if the consumer failed, then Kafka is the square peg in your round hole.

And yeah, the best use case for Kafka is, IMO, "I have to shift terabytes or more of data daily without risking data loss, and I want to decouple consumers from producers".
Price discrimination would also be an apt description.
True, but the possibility of increasing automation, particularly as a response to a future decline in the size of the working population, is one that hasn't been present in prior historical eras where the working population shrank.

The list includes, from my reading, modules, errors, asynchronicity, side-effect types, fancy linting, and formalization. Elements 1, 2, and 5 exist in some sense in almost every area of engineering, while 3 and 6 are easily ignored if you don't need them. That leaves side-effects, the old bugbear of all functional programming.

The difficulty with Rust is that it's "batteries not included", which is a term we use in software for the equivalent of a car sold with no wheels, body panels or seats. Sure there's a package manager, there's also an auto parts catalog.

Thank you for digging those up!
Quality of life isn't the whole story though. Longevity matters too. When I was a child if someone had asked me "Would you like to live a life of opulent luxury but be killed when you're 20?" I'd have said no.

There is no doubt that a good farm is better than a bad farm, but neither is particularly great if you're a cow.
That’s kind of beside the point. I’m sure the process of being killed and eaten by a lion nevertheless causes “pain, distress, and harm”. These things are a part of life.

Sure, you can only one have consumer in a consumer group per partition. But partitions are cheap. And it's reasonably trivial to add more partitions should you find you need more concurrent consumers.

A very basic rule of thumb is, on an X broker cluster, have N partitions, where N / X = 0.

There's no harm in choosing something like 20 - 30 partitions for a topic, and increasing that when you need to scale consumers horizontally.

Dropping partitions is harder, but again, they're cheap, you won't need to for most use cases.

Only caveat to increasing partition count is when you're relying on absolute ordering per partition - key hashing can point to different partitions when you have 10 vs 50. It can still be done, but it requires a careful approach.
How is being derived from current understanding of biology wishy-washy? Reaction to stimuli and pain are different phenomena. If you’re stance is “we just don’t know for certain so it’s better to be conservative” that’s fine, but that uncertainty shouldn’t be conflated with actual reason when it’s just based on wishy-washy anthropomorphism.

But it's not the case that only stroads are being built. There's plenty of things that are unambiguously streets and plenty of things that are unambiguously roads. If the argument were "not everything should be a stroad", I'd agree, but they're saying they want to eradicate all stroads.
>>HEURISTIC #3 To make a thing inevitable, do as much as you can right now.

I have an another HEURISTIC, like do not put impossible clauses as preconditions in front of possible things, if you do- the possible now becomes impossible.

eg: Like deciding you will to get a gym membership when prices fall, this is a wrong way of thinking, instead if you can afford a membership(which almost always you can) go workout in the gym. Putting the discount clauses now only acts as a means preventing you from getting fit.
Lawsuit: Tesla is like a “frat house”
One thing that has immensely helped me a lot in the last decade is to cross the bridge when you reach it.

May be the most obvious thing to most, but I had this thing where I would sometimes argue or worry about things way into the future, like a month or months into the future.

Maybe it was an advice or maybe I discovered it on my own but I see a lot of things don't happen anyway or just take care of themeselves or don't bother you as much as I thought at the time (also you could never predict pandemics in advance).

The other thing is people say a lot of things and I just say sure and carry on even if it's something I don't fully agree with at the time. It's only when a person repeatedly asks me about it do I start taking it seriously and give it any thought.

I think this small mental model has contributed greatly to my happiness
The fraud part wasn't "got investors to overvalue the company". That's salesmanship. It's the long term profitable leases with companies privately owned by the CEO (apparently purchased by him right before the lease was signed) that would make it fraud.
It just happens that Texas society's social contract is public execution and plastic bags.
asking "what's happening right now?", especially in social situations like meetings. it reminds me to look beyond what is being said, as opposed to why things are being said. It's also a good way to gain perspective on any rapidly changing situation where you could get caught up in the moment

Of course they aren't comparable to humans, but some spiders are amazingly clever. For example, Portia spiders, which hunt other spiders, will apparently try different ways of manipulating the target's web, observe the target's behavior, and then adapt their manipulations to trick the target.

The link below has a giant picture of a spider, so although it is an adorable Portia, if anyone has arachnophobia they shouldn't click it:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/10/spiders-are-much-sma...

They describe a bunch of different experiments. An interesting one was: the scientists put one type of prey in view of the spider. Then, they blocked view and either swapped they prey with something else, or left it there. Then they revealed the view again. The spiders pay more attention if the prey is a new type, which is interpreted as 'surprise' and an indication that the spider has some mental model of the world.

I mean it is a spider, so bit of a low bar to clear for intelligence, but still interesting that they are thinking about the world.
I've also called it that for as long as I can remember, and it's probably helped me drive more defensively around that lane. Drivers misuse it all the time.
Those were also problems. But they were scaling and so I think they didn't mind losing money per square foot.

Decompression time is a function of depth, time, and N2 concentration. (Yes, O2 matters for because of O2 toxicity, but that's not a decompression issue.) Scuba can let you breathe different mixtures than the standard atmosphere but need not increase decompression time.
Likewise in Ontario. Strong term, but gets the point across. I also once saw a dump truck with stickers on either side of the tailgate. On the left, "passing side." On the right, "suicide." Had a big impact on my driving habits... I never, ever pass on the right.
Sadly, as a moderator of /r/apachekafka, we have not yet had the pleasure of a lost Redditor wanting to discuss Franz Kafka's influence on Albert Camus.
If @kmm had their heat turned on (and thermostat set to 19°, then their apartment's heating would contribute to bringing their apartment up to 19°. That would (by Newton's law of cooling) reduce the heat flux through their walls from the neighbor's apartments, causing the neighbors to spend less on heating. The neighbors are thus deprived of the difference in heating costs.
> you seem to think that there is a difference in the commons attitude when there are no other commons

That's one factor, yes. Another is the time horizon for gaining the benefits of using the commons. This is another respect in which the Earth orbital space scenario is very different from fisheries.

When fisheries are overfished, the benefit to the overfishers occurs over a very short time horizon. They have to either eat or sell the fish fairly quickly, before the fish spoil. So as long as they think they can go out and catch enough fish on their next trip, which typically lasts on the order of days, to compensate them for the effort and make their expected profit on top of that, they have a short term incentive to continue to overfish. In short, the time horizon for the short term incentive is on the order of days for overfishing.

A company deciding whether to launch additional satellites has a very different short term time horizon. A satellite launched now will take years to pay back the investment made in it. So the company has to be able to forecast that that satellite will remain in service, and not get impacted by extraneous factors like orbital debris, for a period of years after it is launched. Plus, the company has to invest resources in planning for years before the satellite is even launched. So if the company projects that in, say, ten years, the risk of satellites becoming impacted by orbital debris is unacceptably high, they have an incentive to do something about it because otherwise they will lose the investments they are making now in satellites that will have to deliver them profits in that time frame.

> Russia just demonstrated as much last week

What Russia did last week had nothing to do with short term incentives for private exploitation of Earth orbital space using satellites. Indeed, the main point of their demonstration appears to have been that they can deny the use of Earth orbital space to anyone with anti-satellite missiles if they so desire. If they were to carry out such a threat, it would prevent private companies from exploiting this commons.

I actually have played around with it! I think Clojure feels a lot more polished, but it's also a lot more rigid, which I could definitely see someone disliking. LFE almost feels a little more like Common Lisp, although that's more to do with Erlang and the BEAM than any specific syntax choice. Plus, of course, you get to work with all that OTP goodness. If had to choose between LFE and Clojure as the only language I ever programmed in again, it would be a really hard tossup. Clojure might have a relatively larger community, but I don't want to give up the BEAM!

The reason LFE didn't do it for me was that Elixir is relatively painless syntax-wise, and has really nice high-level libraries like Phoenix and Ecto that simplify a lot of work. If I don't need the BEAM, than I'd rather have a more strictly functional language like Clojure, or something more low-level like Common Lisp. LFE doesn't occupy a niche in my personal ecosystem. That being said, I'd definitely give it another try sometime, and I'd recommend it to anyone else who wants to feel the power of the BEAM.
> I change my opinions way too frequently

If that is because you have learnt something, great!

So many amazing people have written that they actively seek finding out where they are wrong: they revel in it, because they recognise that they have become smarter by understanding their own mistakes.

If your opinions are static, then you are not thinking. 99% of what we know is wrong (subtly or dramatically).
Ok, but if you see someone steal your catalytic converter (which you must in order to be in a position to shoot them...), you know it's gone so there's no danger of a fire on the freeway or whatever.

I'd be happier with 2FA everywhere if it wasn't always tied to a mobile phone, whether it's app based or SMS. I don't want too much of my life dependent on a mid-line device manufactured by the Umidigi corporation. If it decides to go spicy-pillow tomorrow, or I just decide I want a new shiny device, I know it's going to be a full day of dancing around with IT support at work to get the work-related 2FA reset alone. SMS-based 2FA might be better from that UX perspective but it's vulnerable and basically seems like a vector for everyone to have an excuse to demand your mobile number which they totally won't use for marketing reasons later.

If the account security is important enough, you can afford to buy me a Yubikey.

I also feel like there's opportunities to rethink account management in general. There are a lot of accounts where you access them so erratically that there's good odds you'll hit "password expired, must reset now" or "this was set up back when I was on a different device and the 2FA didn't carry over." I'd love to see more sites using the "we'll send you a one-time login link" pattern. This leverages the security of the email account, which is more likely to be kept fresh because you actually use it. Carried to its logical conclusion, you could have accounts with no password on file, which reduces the value of the database for credential-reuse attacks.

Morality doesn't necessarily require deep intellectualism, I think. Much of the urgency in the vignettes of moral assessment isn't realistic, either.

To say it simply, there is no proverbial burning building that requires us to farm animals in the way that we currently do. There is much about our practices that absolutely reflects an absence of consideration - shouldn't we be working to improve that?

Saying that there is an inverse prioritization is not the matter at hand. We're not even on equal ground. It's just raising the bar for a thankfully growing number of different animals off the floor.

I maybe didn't grok your point of view on speciesism, though - could you try to reframe it?

Love your story, it reminds me of my first long term software gig, where I was actually stacking boxes and writing software. I was managing an eCommerce site for a local gym! Best of both worlds?

I think everyone should get some grassroots software work under their belt, it's a really different experience working as a team member in an unrelated industry and providing a unique value to an otherwise non-software company.

I don't want to soapbox too much, but it is part of my hope for the eventually reduction of software salaries, so that software can become a more integrated and boutique part of life. There are so many problems that would be better solved with small scale software instead of impersonal SaaS.
