The source actually says that informal code reviews are very poor way to catch bugs, while formal code reviews are one of the best.

I don't have "Code Complete" at hand to follow up on that, but I strongly suspect that the formal code review was defined in this research as reviewing the entire codebase line-by-line on meetings. As opposed to reviewing just a single change to the system.

Can you/anyone shed some light on this?

Personally, i think that our consciousness is all that matters, therefore i cannot agree with this.

What about the heat death of the universe and entropy? If that were to be the eventual outcome of the universe, there are no guarantees whatsoever about anything of the sort.

There are several minimalistic frameworks out there for building microservices in Java:

- SparkJava
- Javalin
- Ninja Framework
- Dropwizard
- Rapidoid

Other frameworks that are less "minimalistic" but cover a much wider range of use cases and come with several built-in integrations are:

- Quarkus
- Micronaut
- Spring Boot

And these are frameworks for building the core bits of your back-end systems. For front-end, if you are into component-based web frameworks, I highly suggest:

- Apache Wicket
- Vaadin

If you are not into component-based, then:

- Thymeleaf
- Qute

Now, you may conclude "boy, this only proves my point that the Java ecosystem is
"extraordinarily complex". But you can also read this as "extraordinarily successful", given that most of these frameworks are 5 to 10+ years old, very stable, mature, and still kicking with great community support.

Fair, and I've seen this, but usually it's because the reviewers are treating "I would personally prefer to do this another way" as blocking feedback, when it isn't.

Good reviews can take a light touch, in part by differentiating non-blocking ideas and suggestions from "hey I think this is a bug."

Some of my favorite reviews of all time actually don't change a single line of code, but the questions reviews ask zero in on what's going to confuse the next developer so it can be documented appropriately.

> How do I add GLib as a dependency to my C project?

You document in your documentation (or some metadata file format of your particular liking) the fact that your project requires GLib and which versions of GLib it supports (hopefully GLib supports semver). Then you take that version, feed it to pkg-config with the right version information and feed that into your build process. Depending on your build setup it may be as simple as putting it in your cargo.toml. Unlike with cargo, you also get to chose as a person compiling the project whether you want the code to statically compile a version of your choosing or just link against whatever your distribution provides.
Well I thought I explained it effectively, but there are numerous scenarios where you'd want to use the same identity across multiple services, cross sharing of data, provable rights, etc. But that doesn't mean you're limited to one, or that you want to use it for every service you use. The benefit doesn't disappear, the benefit only applies when you want it. It isn't all or nothing.

Rough metrics say idling can consume anywhere from 1/3 of a gallon to a gallon per hour of idle time.

Taking the worst case, and why not because it's cold, and people may be inclined to do more than idle their engine, means roughly an hour per gallon of fuel.

Some ICE cars may only idle for a few hours, others a lot more, depending on what's in the tank.

Best move is to pulse the engine. Start up, idle until the vehicle is really warm, shut down and repeat every other hour or so, depending on the cold and what people have to stay warm with.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but a mature response would be:

"Woah bud, I'm sorry. Have I changed or is it just that I can spend more?"

Worst case scenario, you communicate. Best case scenario, you discover that you've become an asshole.
I'm not sure that the article's distinction between "mentoring" and "coaching" matches my experience, or how I'd use the words. When I think of who has mentored me the most, it's usually the lead engineers on the teams I've worked on. In a sense they're just doing the job they're paid for, but I still consider them mentors.

To me, asking a prospective senior engineer if they're willing to mentor juniors is equivalent to asking "are you willing to put in time and effort to help juniors learn how to be better engineers?"
I think so, too. Reversal of policies at the start of the new year! Expect more of these articles and a slow move to a Sweden approach this year.

Of course the NYT omits that schools were open in several states, but that would be too much reality in a single dose.
Using the adjective "dullness" is unimaginable to me. All the vegs I've ever fried were delicious. No spices, all I need is butter and salt. How are you folks preparing those vegs?
Here is something from Zoroastrianism akin to the Ark, connecting it with winter and "foul frost":

FARGARD II. Yima (gamshêd).

And Ahura Mazda spake unto Yima, saying: 'O fair Yima, son of Vîvanghat! Upon the material world the fatal winters are going to fall, that shall bring the fierce, foul frost; upon the material world the fatal winters are going to fall, that shall make snow-flakes fall thick, even an aredvî deep on the highest tops of mountains. And all the three sorts of beasts shall perish, those that live in the wilderness, and those that live on the tops of the mountains, and those that live in the bosom of the dale, under the shelter of stables. Before that winter, those fields would bear plenty of grass for cattle: now with floods that stream, with snows that melt, it will seem a happy land in the world, the land wherein footprints even of sheep may still be seen. Therefore make thee a Vara, long as a riding-ground on every side of the square , and thither bring the seeds of sheep and oxen, of men, of dogs, of birds, and of red blazing fires.

Therefore make thee a Vara, long as a riding-ground on every side of the square, to be an abode for men; a Vara, long. as a riding-ground on every side of the square, to be a fold for flocks. There thou shalt make waters flow in a bed a hâthra long; there thou shalt settle birds, by the ever-green banks that bear never-failing food. There thou shalt establish dwelling places, consisting of a house with a balcony, a courtyard, and a gallery. Thither thou shalt bring the seeds of men and women, of the greatest, best, and finest kinds on this earth; thither thou shalt bring the seeds of every kind of cattle, of the greatest, best, and finest kinds on this earth.

Thither thou shalt bring the seeds of every kind of tree, of the greatest, best, and finest kinds on this earth; thither thou shalt bring the seeds of every kind of fruit, the fullest of food and sweetest of odour. All those seeds shalt thou bring, two of ever, kind, to be kept inexhaustible there, so long as those men shall stay in the Vara. There shall be no humpbacked, none bulged forward there; no impotent, no lunatic; no poverty, no lying; no meanness, no jealousy; no decayed tooth, no leprous to be confined, nor any of the brands wherewith Angra Mainyu stamps the bodies of mortals. In the largest part of the place thou shalt make nine streets, six in the middle part, three in the smallest. To the streets of the largest part thou shalt bring a thousand seeds of men and women; to the streets of the middle part, six hundred; to the streets of the smallest part, three hundred. That Vara thou shalt seal up with the golden ring, and thou shalt make a door, and a window self-shining within.'

The nice thing about simply changing your mindset with respect to money is that you can learn to be happy without needing to cut good friends out of your life.

It also seems unnecessarily burdensome and superficial; when said people who you cut out face financial strain of their own, are they then “allowed” to be your friends again? Likewise, if you win the lottery, how would you react if all of your old friends stopped talking to you?
The game-changer here is Omicron. It kills far less grandmothers and elderly teachers -- arguably a manageable / acceptable number of them. Hence, keeping schools remote in an Omicron-dominant world doesn't make sense.

I feel your pain about the political binary we've developed though. I hold varying positions on a number of issues and would have formerly been called an 'independent' but now I'm just on the opposite side of anyone I talk to
There have been a number of catastrophic floods in history, as well, which could possibly account for some of flood stories being shared by so many cultures--including some in the Americas, like the Maya.

The percentage of alcohol that makes it into breast milk, which is the mother’s blood alcohol content, is less than the percentage in a typical slice of yeast leavened bread[1]. Coma level alcohol abuse is a BAC of 0.4%, which is the around the minimum found in bread. It’s very important to remember that this intake is going through baby’s gut and liver. On the other hand drinking while pregnant is essentially putting baby on an alcohol IV and is extremely harmful.

The real danger of alcohol for breastfeeding is that it can impair the mother’s ability to properly hold the child, among other things.

Obviously I don’t advocate drinking and nursing, but if mom does have a couple glasses of wine with dinner she shouldn’t be wracked with guilt if she has to nurse.

With starlink and eventual Tesla tie ups , sat phones should become much cheaper in the future.

Sounds like everything you'd expect: Huge travel season and Omicron is highly infectious.

> Two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine still offer strong protection against serious illness from omicron. While those initial doses aren’t very good at blocking omicron infection, boosters — particularly with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines — rev up levels of the antibodies to help fend off infection.

At least the vaccine is still doing it's job against serious infection.

I've found that little details like this can kick people out of destructive habits. Similar to how, if you make a careless parachutist jump without a backup they will check their main chute MUCH more closely, showing people that one less net is under them tends to be a bit of a wakeup call.

When you do something stupid and escape unharmed it tends to make you ignore the risk. Speeding, tailgating, smoking, drinking, fighting, etc... As human beings we really suck at assessing risk.

However there is always a small window when someone comes back to reality for a moment. When a friend gets lung cancer and can't get a heart, when a car loses a 2x4 and you barely escape being impaled on a timber, when you hit a patch of water and your car nearly loses control because you were going too fast, or when you watch a man die instantly after getting hit in the face for the 100th time during a friendly brawl.

Urgh, yes. Completely forgot about that part... Q can technically be used to retcon every difference, by a simple act of Q.

A little extra reason to refuel your car sooner rather than later is that the fuel pump will be stressed more as the tank approaches empty.
Why are people so ignorant of the discipline of optimization? If you know it's within some interval you can just so robust optimization, if even that fact is unknown there is distributionally robust optimization.

Central planners don't need perfect information either and infrastructure is more easily build to accommodate a central planner then a market of spatially distributed decision makers.

If you find optimization to authoritarian try multi-objective optimization where people vote where on the Pareto front they want to go.
If you’re working for someone else, the term for what you’re participating in is “hope labor”. If you’re okay with that structure, then I hope you’re okay with always being a proletariat.

If you’re talking about working for yourself, you can be sure hard work is involved, but it is unlikely to economically enrich you.

But, in the rare case you become rich from hard work; I’m glad the fiction for many became your reality!
It's a good question. I assume there's some amount of consistent design that allows safe assumptions on the part of emergency responders. Like not running fuel lines through doors and pillars. I have no idea if such a standard exists.

What happens is you close the freeway, it makes the news that its a bad storm and the freeway is closed, you call your boss (or if they are any good they'd call you) and say you along with everyone else is not going in, your kids aren't going to school, and the truckers sleep in their trucks at the gas station for the night. Then by the next day, or whenever the storm is over, roadworks will have had enough time to clear it off and salt it. That's how its done where it snows in other states.

If Morpheus found 5 previous "The Ones", then I believe that there would still need to be 5 separate iterations of Neo, since after each iteration, the Architect wipes out Zion except for a small number of people that are used for repopulation. Morpheus would need to have been part of each of those genocides which he probably would have brought up in conversation.
I had a cheap one 5 years ago that was able to jump start a car. The instructions said to leave it connected to the battery for 30 seconds before trying to start it, so I guess it's more a portable battery charger than a jump starter. For sure if you disconnected the 12V battery and only connected this it would not work.
People are unable to install the OS. If you go to the matrix room, it's a constant stream of installation questions. Like most things, this is a skill/time/money tradeoff. If you lack in one or more, you can make up with the others.
I'm firmly on the side of science with regards to climate change, and I don't think this type of commentary helps convince anyone. When there's a heatwave, it's climate change. A cold snap, also climate change. Tornado? Climate change. We would rightly ridicule a climate change denier if they equated weather events with climate, we shouldn't do it either.
> Water is harder to store in the winter since it will freeze and burst containers if full, but snow can be melted given a container to put it in.

Emergency drinking water that comes in foil pouches seems to survive freezing; I’m not sure if it’s a requirement of the ISO standard they have to conform to for use on survival craft (I don’t want to pay $250 for the ISO standard just to find out).

I keep an emergency supply of these in my car through Colorado winter and summer, without any issues:

Then how come I get a compiler error if I don't check the result?
Yeah exactly, code review isn't a good place to catch actual bugs. Humans are terrible at catching bugs consistently... Humans probably introduced those bugs in the first place. It's also an exceedingly poor use of human time, which costs a heck of a lot more than machine time.

We really should be relying on automated systems to catch bugs for the most part, and leave code review for what it's good for: making sure a different human can understand and maintain the code.

In fact, if we manage to catch a bug in a code review that didn't also trigger our automated systems to alert us, that should probably prompt us to look into how we can expand the coverage of that automated system, similar to what we'd do in a postmortem if the bug wasn't caught in code review and reached production, because we can't rely on that happening the next time.

I don't know if it applies to modern microwaves, but years and years ago, I learned a secret to keeping a microwave running long after its normal lifetime, and without paying a professional repair person.

It would start arcing eventually, and the solution was to "replace the waveguide". Someone not physics-illiterate could explain more about how that functions, but practically speaking, it involved getting a flat sheet of special material (mica I believe?) and cutting a small panel out to match an existing one on the inside of the cavity.

Looks like a big sheet is <$10.

The implication of this argument is that innumerable terrible torturous things also happen to you "no matter how long it takes."
I'd love to see an emotionless cost-benefit analysis of different approaches to handling schools in the pandemic. I suspect the cost of closed schools far exceeds what we intuitively think, since it's not just the educational loss now, it's the cost of future mitigations due to the problems we're causing, and a large cost of lost productivity by parents. How many person-hours of lost productivity is there for each day a classroom is closed? At least a hundred per classroom, more than a thousand for each day a school is closed. There's a lot of things that cost less than a thousand person-hours that could be done to help schools stay open.

I'm not a huge fan of cost-benefit decision processes but they are useful for removing some false dichotomies. Like "we can't afford to do the right thing" when the right thing is actually more cost effective.
> What happened next?

I pounded on the ambulance partition to my partner up front, hollered, "STOP THE GODDAMN RIG!!!!" while I grabbed a bottle of normal saline from the back, jumped out on the side of the highway and rinsed off my face like a crazy woman. The patient was like, "teehee, I'm a bad boy" and I took over driving and my male partner sat with him in the back.

We filled out an incident report form, I had some more thorough rinsing at the ER by submerging my face in cups and talked with the docs to find out you can't really fortunately get many STDs from that other than like... a stye. So I was all good although I think I got tested to be sure.

Patient got a big note in the FRONT of his chart and wasn't ever again attended by female staff.

I don't think charges were worth it to be filed for serial assaulters like that, a lot of people who live in long term care facilities are demented and have no assets so not sure exactly what they would do other than just transfer them around in the system or keep them drugged up/snowed so they don't assault people, I'm not sure. At that time I was only prehospital so we didn't get a lot of case followup on patients!
Yes. We had a family incident a number of years back. Stuck on a mountain pass in the cold for the better part of a day. We've also seen a breakdown in the desert, and that one was a couple days.

We always refuel before entering a risky part of travel. Never count on getting there. Make sure. And in a scenario like this that refuel could provide a days worth of heat, depending. No matter what, it's a lot more heat than driving at reduced capacity would have yielded.

Rough metric is you get 1 hour of engine idle per gallon. Some cars do better than that. And you can pulse it, warm vehicle up, make sure everything gets charged, fluids able to flow, etc... and then shut down for 1/2 hour or so in order to stretch the resource.

We carry:
