Story time!

At my previous place they had an ancient java application that powered their entire business. It had some reasonable parts, but some of it was a total mess from top to bottom. Leaky abstractions, multiple layers of incomprehensible inheritance, helper classes everywhere etc etc, the usual things you expect from a decade old java application.

A fair chunk of the code quite literally hadn't changed for a decade. There were classes written by the first few employees at the company and hadn't changed since that time. Indeed, no time was invested in fixing it because of the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' paradigm, which was correct for the first 10 years or so.

One day, there was a huge shift in the direction of the company. They wanted their java application to become multi-tenanted SaaS platform instead of single-tenanted system. I was put to work on the task, and found we had to touch virtually every part of the tech stack. It was an utter nightmare, and frankly we still had to cut corners because it would have taken another 10 years to do it properly.

My point is anyway assumptions are just that, assumptions. Assuming code is never going to change is as dangerous as assuming how could might change and planning for a thousand possibilities. In the case of my previous company, assuming multi-tenancy would be coming along would probably slowed them down significantly and was well beyond the scope of the company at the time. However, if they had spent a bit of time polishing the turds, and putting in place proper testing, it would have made life a hell of a lot easier when strange requests come along.

The Gospel of Mark was written 30-40 years after the death of Jesus (during the time of the second Jewish war and the destruction of the second temple). The others were written 60-80 years afterwards.

The Gospel of Mark was a kind of bios (biography) taken from many sources (oral and written), intended to promote the subject's reputation, morals, and preachings rather than as a historical narrative. Most of the narrative linkages are understood by scholars to be pure invention to give continuity (or glue, if you will) for the far more important morals and teachings. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke drew most of their narrative portions from Mark (no need to reinvent the wheel, especially for something so unimportant next to the moral teachings and prophecy).

The apocalyptic writing is understandable given the social and political circumstances it was written under (their utter defeat, the destruction of their temple, and the fact that their messiah still hadn't returned as promised to bring them the ultimate victory).
You point would be much stronger if we didn't very strictly regulate what you can build where in cities and cities still grew organically. Why do you for example need parking minimums if demand and supply could figure it out? Why can't I build higher buildings in my neighborhood even though demand is really strong? Laws create demand for cars because they shape the city to be more car friendly than it might be if left to anarchy. The positive feedback loop of car friendly laws leading to more cars leading to more demand for car friendly laws is very obvious and hard to break. The problem is that cars don't scale very well and more and more cities reach the end of what can reasonably be done with cars.

Of course cars won't go away. They have legitimate uses. They are just obscenely overused today because of the way we chose to shape the incentives.

I would appreciate it if you dropped the word "ideology" from this discussion, or at least prove why your opinion can't be legitimately called an ideology.

Sure. But you can’t directly compare a complex OS to a simple game. I’ll only go after one issue. 2 weeks compared to the amount of time this game will remain popular likely roughly equals the amount of time it took for Linus to begin lucratively financially benefitting from his open source work that doesn’t have a shelf life of popularity of a season.
Please don't post unsubstantive comments like this. It leads to worse discussion. In this case we got a religious flamewar—the dumbest and most avoidable kind of flamewar.

Yeah I wouldn't believe anything related to the virus coming from China, especially numbers that make the CCP look good. They have too much of an incentive to lie, even more so that its finally not taboo to believe that the Wuhan lab was responsible for the outbreak.
The code looks so much error prone. That's scary!

The loans are exactly why the colleges were able to continue jacking up the prices. As with homes, people will pay as much as institutions are willing to loan them. In both cases the currently low interest rates allow the loan principal to be much higher (given that folks calculate cost based on recurring payments). If you remove the student loan system then tuition would become cheaper. However that does unfairly impact those from economically disadvantaged households.

Also, in-state tuition for state schools is much less than $50k/yr so try going to Cal and/or your best local public school and supplement with self teaching (e.g. via public/free lectures from MIT)? The self directed learning/motivation is the hard part for many people of that age, but few have said living frugally should or would be easy.
Jackie Chan can do that because he has the talent to choreograph and perform fights.
I was driving a Hyundai Elantra about 10 years ago that had the power steering fail and it was of little consequence because of the direct coupling.

It's different in a pickup truck, big SUV or "boat of a car" but compact cars handle just fine without power steering at highway speeds. Power steering makes a big difference though when you are driving at low speeds, particularly when you are parking.

Electronic power steering leads to self-driving being a relatively simple upgrade because that's the main actuator that's needed. (e.g. electromatics are already involved with the brakes because of A.B.S., a drive-by-wire throttle is pretty simple and mainstream in vehicles like the Honda Fit.)

You can do that in reverse too, shoot at night with a super sensitive camera and make it look like day:

I think you get all of those things at the FAANG companies. You can set your watch by people arriving at 9 and leaving at 5, and disappearing for an hour to have lunch seemed pretty normal (that's 35h).
Reading the bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749957#c5
and then the code, isn't there still a problem if content-length is not set by the server? Not that it should ever not be set but...

if (contentLengthStart == -1) {
// There is no content-Length.
return;
}

That's the same flow it would have taken with the case sensitive code.
more like the joys of "robust" APIs where instead of having one valid input and rejecting everything else you have billions of valid inputs and raising an error is considered a bug on your side.

Worse of all case insensitivity, not all languages have the same casing rules, so you just ask for bugs that only appear when your user is not US American.
Consider that some colleges asked students to sign liability waivers to go back to the classroom. I don’t have the memorandum the chancellor sent to us at the beginning of the pandemic so I can’t prove that my statement is truthful but it does appear plausible given that some colleges asked students to sign waivers.

I don’t know if the rules that my system put in place at the beginning of the pandemic are still in force. They may have put that rule in place just to make sure we all went online when this mess first started. I just know I’m not going back to the classroom until most of my colleagues do too. My college is still almost entirely online.

EDIT: Chancellor’s memorandum was about cleaning protocols. The union advised us on liability issues and said that we could be liable for sicknesses if we fail to follow the protocol. My union membership includes a $1 million liability coverage for the classroom. They might have brought up this as a way of saying that our classroom insurance does not cover this possibility.

Mel Brooks made Young Frankenstein in black and white because he wanted to pay tribute to the original picture. It was a complete success, and he had to fight to get his way. Modern directors are pulling the same stunt, however their movies don't have a special reason to do it. The end result is experience detraction instead of additional charm.

The thumbnail looks really out of place, if I saw it in my Youtube feed it would be "acceptable" but in a blog format it looks insane.
So you think it better to discriminate according to the size of a candidate’s bank account? From where I sit, you are saying the poor do not deserve the same chance. I think age discrimination would be less offensive to the masses.
i think it's a sliding scale.

if you were previously living on streets and frequently going hungry, then you can likely sustain yourself very well still without working. 1M translates to 27 years at $3k/month expenses. if you chose to supplement that with work, you can easily double that runway.

obviously it's not the same as $10M, which would allow you and your children to never work again, but jump between that and no food/no shelter is not as significant. for those who already have financial stability, $1M only serves as a safety net or retirement fund and cannot act as an early retirement plan without significant cutbacks, so the jump from 1->10 is significant. in the same way that 10M->100M extra income for Bezos is not gonna change much.

Very important because it was transported across the country to the lab.

Imperial is considered top notch, for sure.

The Oxbridge aura extends to every course, nobody would really know anything other than that you went there.

Whether it's good or not, my guess is it's much the same menu as anywhere else in any established broad degree course. There'll be optional courses that take you more theoretical or more practical, totally up to you, but the content ain't gonna vary terribly much.
I have worked at a number of places that relied heavily on off-shoring and my observation every single time was that while individual developer costs are generally much lower, you incur a lot of other hidden costs due to things like language barriers and asynchronous communication cycles.

But the biggest factor preventing a mass transition to off-shoring is that off-shore devs are always contractors since very few orgs can handle the logistics of international employment. As someone that did contract work for 5 years, contractors do not engage the same way that employees do. We are generally immune from the client's political bullshit and if things get too messy we are much more likely to waltz to another contract rather than help fix your org's fundamental problems.

Yes, all of these people have probably considered this.

Nice explanation, nice purpose, but IMHO every browser extension should be open source unless it implements some particularly valuable know-how logic the authors understandably want to keep secret.
I wouldn't mind it if the recommendations were actually useful. A couple years ago I watched a martial arts movie on netflix. then it recommended some french art film because I had watched a foreign film.
Last year facebook suggested I join a group for progressive Asian Christians. I am not Asian or Christian. If Facebook can't even tell what race I am, then what is all this data being used for?

Or on youtube I watched one video by a guy and hated it. Now I keep getting recommended his other videos.
Do it! I switched from Eagle years back because I needed a guarantee that I'd be able to open a decade-old design and the subscription model destroyed that confidence. Kicad was annoying but manageable then, it's an absolute joy to use now.
Yes, there is a pamphlet for that as well. “No longer living life to the fullest, tired of being a burden on those around you, end of life services has a solution. For 5 easy payments of $39.99 a better place awaits you.”

In my opinion corporatism has worked with government to drive a wedge between family generations and I worry that the fallout will be quite brutal.

I have nightmares of desperate youth deliberately infecting their parents with black market Covid in an effort to speed up and preserve their inheritance.
perhaps a better title would have been "Ohio Reaches Suburb Saturation"

Perhaps its redneck elitism but "rural" implies you'd have to work at least a bit to hit a neighbor with a rifle shot. Don't think Ohio has had much land like that for a while; sure there's vast fields but no one lives there, the communities are gathered up into the places that were harder to till. and those were "tiny towns" back unto the 1800s afaik.

"Rural" might mean the only government services one can expect are USPS mail and a county property tax assessment. If someone wants a permit to build something on a plot of land, its too citified. If a firetruck might show up because of your bonfire, its iffy how "rural" you are.
>Not the GP, but my guess would be: irony.

It's sarcasm, actually. A rare event here.

Surely, irony is depicted in the open-source, decentralised crowd, berating someone doing something not for money.

That's my personal experience too - that my team and I are more productive when we work from the same office. I don't know how realistic it is for everyone to return to the office though - many other people like remote and most people are kind of entrenched in their positions.

> A lot of senior experienced people will talk about all the “shoulds” your code should be like. They are usually describing some far distance promised land that they have never visited either.

Oh how I can relate do this. I've seen so much guilt and inaction from developers who are paralyzed by "should". They so badly don't want to be a "bad engineer" that they'll over-engineer just about everything and end up causing a lot of problems.
On the flip side, if you start out with "ah shoot I have to write a compiler", that can be paralyzing unless you happen to know how to write a compiler. Sometimes it's best to just write code, do it the wrong way, and then learn the compiler stuff on the fly.

For Linux, I almost never reinstall. Most of the package managers I've used don't make it too difficult to:

* verify the checksums of everything installed

* find packages that no longer exist in any enabled repo

* find packages (not explicitly installed) that have no reverse dependencies

* find files no longer owned by any package

As a result, I haven't had too much trouble cleaning up things that might be left behind. My longest running install is going on 11 years now, having been migrated between computers and to/from a VM 8 times.

For Windows 10, I used to reinstall whenever explorer.exe would get stuck with a persistent bug where the metadata gatherer (eg. video thumbnails, mp3 ID3 tags, etc.) would take 10+ seconds per file and Explorer would freeze until it loaded the metadata for every file. I probably reinstalled 6 times before I got frustrated and threw explorer.exe in a debugger to find the cause. Turns out clearing a few registry keys fixes the problem: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/random-scripts/blob/master/c...

Nowadays, I reinstall Windows whenever my VR headset starts to drop frames for seemingly no reason (no Windows, SteamVR, or Nvidia driver updates).
I'm enjoying Angular development too, although the Angular Material library is... not great. Lots of corner cases that just don't get enough attention.
From comments in Bugzilla learned about https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/ , looks super cool! C/C++ tooling improved a lot in last decade.
> Can anyone tell me which other "large" projects have this capability?

I'd say that all popular apps (Android/iOS) have such functionality. Most will probably use it for A/B testing, but technically you could change anything you'd like with it.

Apart from the companies creating their own implementations [0], popular services I have seen include Optimizely [1] and Firebase Remote Config [2].

I think I took an online course on the applications of hypothetical and practical shittiness. That was presented out of the MIT online school, right?

Though, jokes aside, other than refactoring for efficiency, I think you're right. The term "shitty code" generally applies to the readability and not really the efficacy of code. We can usually go back and make it "prettier" with no real practical effect except to make ourselves look better during code review =/
When I went to Colorado State University (by no means prestigious) tuition ran around $2,300 [1] and is now almost triple [2] per semester, I could rent a 2 bedroom apartment and live alone for $735, where as that's now sharing a 3 bedroom apartment. Renting the apartment I had is closer to $1,300 per month, or nearly double what I paid. It's not very affordable, whereas I could relatively easily afford it.

Angular is so different some AngularJS that it's really a different framework. At that point, as long as you're switching to a new framework, you should assess them all equally according to your needs.

I mean, I would imagine a single restaurant would have to make more revenue in a single year to no longer be a small business - their costs of goods are far higher.

Meanwhile, when someone says "small businesses" cannot afford something, and that small business is a 1,500 person software company with $40 million in revenue, I think more "that is no longer a small business" than "poor small business". And if it turns out I'm technically wrong about a legal definition of small business, that's not going to change how concerned I am about that 1,500 person company - it's going to make me specify my concern is around supersmall businesses or whatever. That is, me being wrong about terminology is primarily going to make me change the terms I use.

> Our results show that firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network of workers to become more static and siloed, with fewer bridges between disparate parts. Furthermore, there was a decrease in synchronous communication and an increase in asynchronous communication. Together, these effects may make it harder for employees to acquire and share new information across the network.
